Yesterday, Prince Harry and Prince William — sorry, the Duke Of Cambridge — played in the Sentebale Polo Cup at Coworth Park Polo Club, Ascot, Berkshire. William played for team Tusk and Prince Harry played for Sentebale. Tusk won. But. More important: The press is breathlessly reporting that Harry "removed his short-sleeved top to reveal a tighter one underneath." Shall we take a look?
Here we have Harry on horseback. Ride, Harry, ride.
Here, Harry is saying, "Dude. I've got abs. Abs! Ladies love abs."
"I'm young and single and hot. Deal with it."
Here's Harry rushing to admire himself in a mirror. He also appears to be trying to tweak his own nipple.
If you prefer William, or horses, well, this is for you. Handsome! And the Duke looks good too.

'Bringing Home the Browns' Update — Heather Brown Opens Eyes During Coma
Last fall we brought you the incredible story of Sean and Heather Brown. While Sean was fighting for our country in Afghanistan, Heather was having some strange symptoms she knew she shouldn't be having during her pregnancy. She went to the hospital and ended up having baby John prematurely. and she slipped into a coma. Well four months later, Heather is starting to make great progress.
After spending a few months here in the hospital, Heather was moved to a facility in Shreveport who offered to care for her. Sean and the baby have been traveling back and forth between Heather and their home in Gladewater. Since moving to the facility, Sean has recorded some major breakthroughs with Heather. She has opened her eyes some, moved her head, squeezed his hand and responded to his voice. Sean posted this most recent update earlier today:
Another update!
While I was working yesterday, Heather's dad called to check on her. The therapist had wonderful news. She told Heather to move her head from left to right and open her eyes. Heather did it twice! I'm speechless. Thank you Lord and continue your healing for my wife. Thank you friends for the prayers.
The Brown family still has a long road ahead of them. Heather's recovery process won't be easy. But they are without a doubt that the prayers and support from their friends, family, and 1.1 million Facebook followers, that Heather will recover and come home to Sean and John.

You'll barely recognize Claudia in the first sneak peek from this week's Warehouse 13. Two classic shows are making a comeback. Fry and Leela are facing a brand new obstacle on Futurama. Jonathan Frakes is directing a very special episode about "First Contact." And Finn may have a brand new girlfriend on Adventure Time.
But the most exciting program this week isn't on television — it's a radio show, based on one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time.
Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated (2 PM, Cartoon Network):
This show appears to be moving to an afternoon slot, to take advantage of bored summer kids. No doubt there will be endless reruns at other times of day though. Watch two clips, and delve into a synopsis of "The Night the Clown Cried" that reveals the soap-opera elements from season one are alive and well:
With the gang split up, Crystal Cove is being tormented by an evil-man-baby called "Crybaby Clown." Fred is off searching for his real parents. Shaggy is in military school. Scooby is locked up on a farm. Only Velma remains. She convinces Mayor Nettles to help get Mystery Incorporated back together.
Mayor Nettles finds Scooby in the middle of a "jail break" from the farm and assists him in rescuing Shaggy from military school. Shag and Scoob meet up with Fred and head for Crystal Cove to reunite with Velma. The only missing element is Daphne...but Daphne has moved on. She's fallen in love with Bayler Hotner, a hunky young actor in town researching a movie role. And they're serious. Daphne is not coming back to Mystery Inc. Fred refuses to believe this and sets a trap for Crybaby Clown that needs all five members of Mystery Inc. When Daphne doesn't show, the trap fails...and for the first time, Mystery Inc. doesn't catch the monster!
Adventure Time (7:30 PM, Cartoon Network):
And speaking of soap operas and love triangles... here's what to expect from "Burning Low":
Finn starts spending a lot of time with Flame Princess… is Princess Bubblegum jealous?
Check out a clip at left. That's followed by a new Regular Show, a new Annoying Orange, and a new Mad.
Warehouse 13 (9 PM, Syfy):
So what's Claudia up to exactly? She's probably just gone out to get everybody some Rice Krispies squares, to celebrate the Warehouse not blowing up. Right? Here's the synopsis for the totally-not-ominous "An Evil Within":
Pete and Myka investigate when angry mobs hallucinate en masse and attack innocent people.
Check out a sneak peek, in which Claudia appears to be doing some "sexpionage."
Teen Wolf (10 PM, MTV):
Saul Tigh is giving werewolf strategy lessons to Allison! This clip is so great. Here's what to expect from "Fury":
Allison tracks Derek to the sheriff's station, where Scott, Stiles, Melissa and Sheriff Stilinski are being held hostage.
Alphas (10 PM, Syfy):
It's "The Quick and the Dead." But no, it's not a remake of the surprisingly awesome Western starring Sharon Stone. Instead, it's this:
The team hunts for a killer with super-speed whose mission to find the truth may lead to deadly consequences.
Also on TV tonight: Two brand new episodes of Dragon Ball GT on Nicktoons at 8 PM.
Level Up! (8 PM, Cartoon Network)
This looks like an especially fun, silly episode of this "video game characters escape into the real world" show. There's a villain called the Merchant of Menace, who gets yanked out of a video game on purpose, by his creator — to go around being a spokesperson to promote the game's expansion pack. But the Merchant of Menace, on discovering he's only the 10th most evil villain in his game series, decides to do something to improve his ranking.
Also on TV tonight: Cartoon Network has a second new Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated at 2 PM. There's a new Total Drama on Cartoon Network at 7:30 PM. Nicktoons has two more episodes of Dragon Ball GT at 8 PM. And there's a brand new Mysteries at the Museum on Travel at 9 PM. And finally, the season finale of Freaks and Creeps at 10 PM on National Geographic Wild.
Ben 10: Omniverse (8:30 PM, Cartoon Network):
Yes, it's another Ben 10 show. This is probably the tenth Ben 10. Here's the pitch:
In the brand-new animated series, Ben 10: Omniverse, Ben will have a new character design that pays homage to his past, and he'll have a whole new batch of aliens to battle. Beating the bad guys is just part of the superhero gig. With a little help from his new, by-the-book rookie partner, Ben explores the quirkier side of things in the alien underground and discovers enemies from his past looking for a re-match, all while a mysterious hunter is hot on his trail! With 10 new aliens at his disposal and a brand new lease on life, Ben 10 is back and more fun than ever!
Check out two sneak peeks.
Futurama (10 PM, Comedy Central):
Just when you think those kids are getting somewhere, Fry and Leela are losing their memories of each other. Also, the Planet Express crew visits Oktoberfest — but to Fry's dismay, it's become a classy event. Bender enters a sausage-making contest and Fry becomes the victim of a horrific sausage-making accident. And somehow, Fry joins a tribe of neanderthals who fight against a fleet of spaceships led by Zapp Branigan. So, just a typical day at the office. Check out a clip!
Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman (10 PM, Science):
This time around, they're asking, "Will Eternity End?" That's a good question, right?
Eternity is an idea humans have wrestled with for thousands of years. We will all die, but time will tick on forever after we are gone. But what if there comes a time when there is no more after? Could time itself end? It's a question scientists are daring to answer.
One bold scientist thinks time always was and always will be, but space will come crashing down in an apocalyptic end. Another scientist argues that if time never ends, our very existence stops making sense. An infinite amount of time means an infinite number of bizarre possibilities. But perhaps our universe is just one tiny patch in a much larger, eternal multiverse. Time will end for us, but the multiverse is a place that lasts forever.
Perhaps time isn't what we think it is. One visionary believes time is not a normal dimension, but a holographic projection, where all eternity already exists. Everything our universe ever was and ever will be is sitting in the far future and is being projected back into the past.
But what if time is ruled by the fuzzy world of quantum mechanics, where nothing is certain? One team of scientists is finding evidence that the future is affecting the present. The present and the past may be echoes of the future that are rippling back in time. The fate of the universe may already be right in front of us.
Also on TV tonight: Yet another new Scooby-Doo on Cartoon Network at 2 PM. A new Johnny Test on Cartoon Network at 7:30, followed by a new Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu at 8 PM. Plus two more episodes of Dragon Ball GT on Nicktoons at 8 PM.
Misfits (10 PM, LOGO):
It turns out that when you bury your case worker, you should be pretty careful to make sure there's no construction planned in the area:
Alisha enjoys using her new powers but the one thing she really wants she doesn't seem to be able to get. Simon's online dating is going well. Some builders are digging a hole in the same spot that the gang buried the bodies.
Also on TV tonight: Once again, Cartoon Network has a new Scooby-Doo at 2 PM. And then, another new Dragon Ball GT at 8 PM on Nicktoons. Plus a brand new Wilfred on FX at 10 PM.
Lost Girl (10 PM, Syfy):
In "School's Out," Bo poses as a teacher to investigate a case — a sexy teacher, we're guessing. That's just a guess, mind you. Meanwhile, Lauren's back from her vacation.
Chasing UFOs (10 PM, National Geographic):
They get points for calling this episode "Game of Drones."
Claims that aliens are watching Earth from above are investigated near the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Also on TV tonight: Yet again, Cartoon Network has a new Scooby-Doo at 2 PM.
The Chrysalids (9 PM GMT, BBC Radio 4):
Honestly, this is just so much more exciting than anything on American TV this week, even though it's on the radio and in the wrong country. You can listen to it live via the Radio 4 website, which has live streaming audio, at 4 PM EST and 1 PM PST. Plus it looks like it's already available online for instant listening. This is the first half of a two-part dramatization of the classic novel by John Wyndham. Here's how the Radio Times describes it:
Set in the distant future, the story follows David Strorm, whose rare ability to communicate telepathically with others conflicts with the message preached by his evangelical father. When his secret is revealed, David must journey south to save his friends from the reckoning of the Norms.
Honestly, screw television. You should make time to listen to this over the weekend.
The Science of Doctor Who (9 PM, BBC America):
In the run-up to the show's return later in August (finally!), we're getting more special documentaries. Including this one, which will no doubt explain once and for all just how scientifically accurate every single thing in the Whoniverse is. No doubt. This is followed by an episode of The Nerdist, called "Tribute to Science."
Dark Matters: Twisted But True (10 PM, Science):
This time, John Noble explores the topics of "Amnesiac," "Party Poopers" and "Risky Radiation."
Ultimate Spider-Man/Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (11 AM, Disney XD):
Here's what both shows have in store:
"Snow Day" - Spider-Man and his team sneak off for a vacation on a deserted tropical island. However, they soon realize something is not right with the island and the Sandman will make sure they never leave.
"Assault on 42" - When Whirlwind is captured, he is escorted to his quarters in 42, Hank Pym's confinement facility in the Negative Zone, by Captain America, Wasp and Ms. Marvel. 42 is virtually impossible to break out of, yet when they get there, they find that something is trying to break in.
It's a great era we're living in, when you can watch TV shows about the Negative Zone on Sunday morning. Check out a clip, featuring the Leader versus Annihilus!
Leverage (8 PM, TNT):
Worth mentioning for a couple reasons. First, it's directed by Jonathan "Will Riker" Frakes. Second of all, it's called "The First Contact Job," and it's about a rich, unscrupulous scientist who stole his partner's research and ruined his partner's reputation in the process. The team sets about scamming him by convincing him that he's made first contact with aliens. Any time Jonathan Frakes directs something with "First Contact" in the title, it's worth a mention.
Falling Skies (9 PM, TNT):
This show is back after a week off, and it looks like they're going to face some trouble on the way to Charleston:
The unit marches onward to Charleston, S.C., as some in the group continue to grieve recent losses. Meanwhile, information surfaces about Tector's past; and Matt connects with a recently discovered harnessed girl.
True Blood (9 PM, HBO):
This week's episode is "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," and now that we're going to Tears for Fears for episode titles, we can only hope next week's episode will draw on the works of Crowded House or Howard Jones. And it looks like this is the start of the rise of Dark Bill.
The start of the vampire holy war is a cause for celebration for Salome and the Chancellors; a rise in antisupernatural sentiment puts Sookie in danger.
Breaking Bad (10 PM, AMC):
It's Walt's birthday! No doubt that means it'll be a nice peaceful episode, maybe with some cake.
Skyler considers packing up the kids and leaving. Walt and Jesse's ongoing plan may be foiled by a new team member.
Also on TV tonight: Adult Swim has Black Dynamite at 11:30 PM, followed by a new Aqua Teen Hunger Force at midnight and Squid-Billies at 12:15.

The MTA says riders will now be able to fill their MetroCards with both unlimited-ride time and pay-per-ride dollars.
The change will allow New Yorkers to avoid a $1 fee on new card purchases, which will begin March 3.
The New York Times says the change will especially help riders who carry unlimited MetroCards but also take express buses or PATH trains.
Interim Executive Director Thomas F. Prendergast calls it "the most flexible MetroCard ever offered."

can anyone help me pls
this is the procedure of the program
Files both in transmitter & receiver programs
During the transmission, attach a flag pattern (01111110) at the start & end of the data unit.
If transmitter sees five consecutive 1's on data, it stuffs zero bit in data.
At the receiving end, whenever in data it finds five consecutive onesand the next bit are zero then the receiver will de stuff that zero bit.e.g. If the Pattern to be transmitted
is 00011110111110000, then at the transmitter side will be 000111101111100000 because as 5 consecutive 1s are detected, one 0 should be stuffed and at the receiver side again as it will detect 0 after 5 consecutive
i wish someone could help me in this

2. Ajay Singh Rathore (Aamir Khan) was a big fan of the poet and ghazal singer Gulfaam Hasan (Naseeruddin Shah). He attended a Gulfaam concert and ran into his college mate Seema (Sonali Bendre).
7. Gulfaam and Major Baig (Shrivallabh Vyas -- Ishwar chacha in Lagaan (2001)) had a little sub-plot of their own that was effective despite its brevity. Nothing overdone about it, I thought. Loved how the discussion here was placed at an Indo-Pak artist meet.
9. As ACP Rathore aimed to combat terrorism and crime, the secrets he would discover, the weapons traders he would encounter, and the unwavering commitment and loyalty to his mission which would guide his interactions with them, were all juxtaposed sensibly. But would they be enough for good to prevail? And would the ACP and his friends survive to sustain the crime-fighting program they had assembled? Would they be allowed to stay as a unit? To discover, watch Sarfarosh. It was one of the more gripping action movies of its genre. And its climax was rare given its strong emphasis on dialogue, and that it was initiated by a song (bits of which reminded me of the classic folk song 'Lattey Di Chaadar')!
10. A few notes on the art direction, since it was a definite strength of the film. This dhaaba (a toned-down version of a plaza off an expressway, if you may) looked very real. Mentions of Lijjat papad are always welcome! :o)
Here's an observation (not a criticism): This street looked very real. In some ways, it was similar to those in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992), Hera Pheri (2000), and Gandhi My Father (2007). Maybe they were the same core sets?
The desert-scapes and splendor of Rajasthan were beautifully captured.
...which made the song Jo Haal Dil Ka (Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu) all the more interesting. The song was 'hot' (actually, it was Sonali, who looked stunning in whatever color she wore -- white, yellow, red, and blue).
Movie rating: 4.5/5 (Excellent!)
My classification: R (for violence)
Music rating: 4/5 (Excellent integration!)

Monster Hunter Frontier, Capcom's massively multiplayer online role-playing game, is currently only available in Asia on the Xbox 360 and the PC. But Japanese people cannot play with people in other countries. Here's why.
"We intentionally made 'MHF' only available to people in Japan," says Yoshinori Ono, Capcom's online gaming manager. "While it may seem that vast number of potential players outside Japan would lead to greater profits, each nation has its own culture, which can create friction between individuals from different countries."
The game is out in Taiwan and South Korea, and it is slated to come to China.
Sure, there might be cultural issues, but the reluctance to allow Japanese players to play with folks in other countries seems to be due to the language barrier. Of course, there are people in Japan who can speak Korean and Chinese as there are people abroad who can speak Japanese. There might not be enough to allow for cross-cultural play.
According to Ono, "We don't want to give players a stressful experience when they are supposed to be having fun." Ono thinks it is rather "simplistic" to take a global approach to all online games.
"It's important to consider the different environments and culture of each respective country," Ono says. "For example fighting games like Street Fighter, in which there are fixed rules set by a vendor, players can go online and battle it out with anybody around the world. Monster Hunter, on the other hand, is more complex."
A common lingo is required. "Players need to establish a strategy and rules, which means that they need to have close communication with one another," Ono adds. "This type of communication is easiest for people of the same nationality." Maybe "nationality" isn't the best choice of words. It is easiest for people who speak the same language. Here, they just happen to be divided by nationalities.
Granted, that doesn't mean it is impossible for players who speak different languages to have rewarding online experiences. It is easier if they can communicate in a common language. At the moment, those languages do not include Western ones.
Back in January, Capcom told Kotaku that Monster Hunter Frontier is "not confirmed" for the West. The online game still has not been given a release outside Asia. The game originally launched in Japan back in 2007.

A stay in hospital is very difficult for a child to cope with, no matter how short it is. However, children that face long-term stays in hospital can find the time passes particularly slowly.
For that reason, we thought it was a lovely idea to sponsor the 'Pet Therapy' initiative in Temple Street. Through this initiative, a dog is brought to the hospital every Thursday to meet the children.
Peata is the charity which provides the specially trained dogs. On the day we visited the hospital, it was the turn of Max, an adorable golden retriever. We got to tour the hospital with Max, his owner Linda and two of the play therapists.
To see the joy that Max brought to the wards was amazing. He was gentle and patient and more than willing to pose for photographs. The children who were missing their dogs from home were particularly excited about seeing him.
"We want to say a big thank you to taxback.com for sponsoring our Pet Therapy initiative for the rest of 2012. It's such a great boost to the children and they really look forward to Thursday mornings. One little boy even asked us to make sure his dialysis didn't clash with Max's visit!"
We're delighted to have helped Temple Street with such a novel idea and look forward to working with them in the future.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Put Andre Carter at end in a 4-3 defense and quarterbacks scramble for safety. Stick him at linebacker in a 3-4 and Carter heads for a new team.
A much better player as a lineman, Carter moved to the New England Patriots this season and already has nine sacks. He can increase that Sunday against his former team, the Washington Redskins.
"Throughout my whole career, I've always played defensive end," he said Wednesday. "I was just very blessed that the New England Patriots came to me and said, 'this is what we need, this is what we're looking for.' And I was game."
Carter spent his first five seasons with San Francisco where the 49ers switched to a 3-4 alignment in his last year, 2005, under new coach Mike Nolan. The following March, Carter left as an unrestricted free agent for Washington and its 4-3 setup.
That worked well and Carter was coming off his best season with the Redskins with 11 sacks in 2009. Then, when Mike Shanahan became coach, he installed the 3-4. That meant Carter, who had played right end most of his career, would move to left outside linebacker where he was more involved in covering receivers than in rushing the passer.
"It was definitely a tough pill to swallow because ... it was actually my second time doing the position change," he said, "because I did it in 2005 and that's the reason why I came to Washington in '06 to play defensive end — the irony behind that. But you've got to have a sense of humor."
Last season, Carter started just five of the 16 games he played and managed only 2 1-2 sacks. When it ended, he expected to move on. And he did after becoming an unrestricted free agent on March 1.
"No sour feelings whatsoever," he said. "It was just a mutual agreement at the end of the year. We both knew that this fit wasn't for me and they understood that. And so we shook hands and parted ways and left on good terms."
Shanahan called Carter "the most accountable guy you could be around" and isn't surprised by his success with the Patriots.
"He wanted an opportunity to go some place," Shanahan said. "We let him go just because he was such a class guy. Obviously, he landed in a great organization and he's doing a great job for them."
The Patriots signed him for his 11th NFL season on Aug. 8 and he's fit in quite well now that he's starting again at right defensive end.
"He's a very professional guy that's smart, a well-conditioned athlete. He really works hard at football and things are really falling into place for him here. I know the 3-4 is probably a tough fit for him," New England coach Bill Belichick said, "but I think in our system in a four-man line, he fits right in. He's really done a great job for us. I think the system is definitely part of it."
With a long wingspan and quickness rushing from the edge, Carter has been the Patriots' most intimidating defensive lineman. He had 8 1-2 sacks in a five-game span, including four in a 37-16 win over the New York Jets. But he doesn't have any in the last two games while making a total of just three tackles.
For Belichick, though, numbers are just part of the story.
"Statistics sometimes can be a little bit misleading," he said. "What's more important is their play-to-play consistency and their performance. And his has been very good. The numbers are there with it, great, but there are a lot of players that play well on a down-to-down basis that don't necessarily have the numbers to show for it."
The numbers for Redskins quarterback Rex Grossman aren't very good — one of the NFL's worst passer rating at 69.8, at least one interception in each of the last eight games and just 10 touchdown passes in nine starts.
A quarterback, who tends to throw risky passes, he has been sacked 18 times, a number Carter would like to increase.
"It takes a lot to just kind of sling it out, especially when it comes to the big plays," Carter said, "because some time it may be successful, but at any given moment when you're trying to win a game you've got to take a shot. So that's one thing I admire about him."
Several Redskins who played with Carter on defense are still with the team. He credits linebacker London Fletcher with helping him adjust to that position last season.
On Sunday, though, they'll be opponents. And Carter doesn't expect to have to remind himself which sideline to stand on. He'll go to the one where he fits best.
"Strictly Patriots now," he said.
Ex-Redskin Carter set to face former team
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Put Andre Carter at end in a 4-3 defense and quarterbacks scramble for safety. Stick him at linebacker in a 3-4 and Carter heads for a new team.

Molecular biology
Molecular biology is the study of both the structure and function of macromolecules essential for life.
The field of molecular biology overlaps with biology and chemistry and in particular, genetics and biochemistry. A key area of molecular biology concerns understanding how various cellular systems interact in terms of the way DNA, RNA and protein synthesis function.
The specific techniques used in molecular biology are native to the field but may also be combined with methods and concepts concerning genetics and biochemistry, so there is no big distinction made between these disciplines.
However, when the fields are considered independently of each other, biochemistry concerns chemical materials and essential processes that take place in living organisms. The role, function and structure of biomolecules are key areas of focus among biochemists, as is the chemistry behind biological functions and the production of biomolecules.
Genetics is concerned with the effects of genes on living organisms, which are often examined through "knock-out" studies, where animal models are designed so that they lack one or more genes compared to a "wild type" or regular phenotype.
Molecular biology looks at the molecular mechanisms behind processes such as replication, transcription, translation and cell function. One way to describe the basis of molecular biology is to say it concerns understanding how genes are transcribed into RNA and how RNA is then translated into protein. However, this simplified picture is currently be reconsidered and revised due to new discoveries concerning the roles of RNA[1].

Fool's Gold On World Cafe
Fool's Gold.Jesse Fleming
Set List
- "The Dive"
- "Wild Window"
- "Tel Aviv"
Web Extra
"Leave No Trace"
The L.A. collective Fool's Gold visits World Cafe today to discuss its latest work, Leave No Trace. Under the artistic leadership of Lewis Pesacov and Luke Top, the band has become known for incorporating rhythms and sound textures — particularly in the guitar parts — from all over the globe, including Africa and the Middle East. For the current record, the group, once 12 members strong, has pared itself down to a quintet, in the process fine-tuning the detail in its songwriting.
Fool's Gold may be smaller, but it's expanded its influences to include Brazilian folk and U.K. synth-pop. Top, born in Israel but raised in urban L.A., has been assembling these fragments of a broad cultural sensibility for his entire musical life, alternating between Hebrew and English in his lyrics. "Tel Aviv," for example, finds him exploring this idea, both in form and in content.
Hear "Tel Aviv" and more from Leave No Trace on today's installment of World Cafe.

Is Vladimir Voevodskys ICM lecture available in videotaped format somewhere? Strangely it is not at the IMU homepage (but Lafforgues is) http://www.mathunion.org/Videos/ICM2002/
Was it not taped (Why not?)? If not is at least a transcript available somewhere? Is there a least video of the opening ceremony, and the Laudatio(s)?
Are there any taped lectures of Voevodsky lecturing on Motivic Cohomology?

I've been learning R, mostly because it's been on my list of things to do for ages, and partly because I needed to draw a histogram.
All the tedious stuff about how you get started and how you install things is surprisingly difficult to get from the internets.
So to install on Ubunutu:
sudo apt-get install r-base
Then you run the command R:
Once you're in R you can find things out by using Google. Once you've found a function you want to use, say sj.test, if it doesn't seem to be installed, you can install it by noting the library name which is in curly brackets at the top of the man page. {lawstat} in this case. So you then go:
> install.packages("lawstat") # to install it > library(lawstat) # to use it
(the package installer has a hilariously craptastic interface written in Tcl/Tk)
That's it. Everything I need to know to learn R. Everything else is just bog standard programming language stuff (though it helps a bit that I learnt a bit of J).
Here's the histogram:
And the R code is behind this link. The way the function png() implicitly makes hist() write into the PNG file is particularly bletcherous. It has all the elegance of writing JCL for IBM mainframes.

It's a dopey idea, but if they do it right it, could be brilliant.
Since 1999, EA Sports has been featuring an elite football player on the box of its hit video game, Madden NFL, and in that time, nine players who have been so honored have fallen victim to what is now known as the "Madden Curse."
The comedy will "follow a former Madden video game champion who is forced out of retirement just as he finds himself on the corner of the game's cover — and subject to the curse," reported The Wrap.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Lest you doubt the cloud of doom that follows a player after appearing on the game's cover, check out this list of woe, bearing in mind that the game actually comes out before the preceding season:
Dante Culpepper, 2002: In 2003 he threw 23 interceptions and set the NFL record for fumbles while leading the Vikings to a 5-11 record.
Marshall Faulk, 2003: Began missing games, production tanked, blew out a knee and was out of football by 2005.
Michael Vick, 2004: Broke his leg in the pre-season, missed Falcons first 12 games as the team went 5-11.
Ray Lewis, 2005: A Week 15 wrist injury ended his season, his first without an interception.
Donovan McNabb, 2006: Tore his ACL.
Shaun Alexander, 2007: Hurt his foot, missed six starts, never regained his MVP form.
Vince Young, 2008: In 2008 injured his knee in the first game of the season and didn't win back his starting job until October 2009.
Brett Favre: 2009: After leading the Jets to an 8-3 start, a torn bicep drove him to throw a league-leading 22 interceptions and finish the season 97-7 and out of the playoffs.
Larry Fitzgerald & Troy Polamalu, 2010: Two injuries caused Polamalu to miss 12 games, while Fitzgerald had another fine season, but had to bow out of the Pro Bowl with a rib injury.
Saints QB Drew Brees graces the cover of the current Madden cover and is doing OK thus far, leading his team to a 10-4 start and a likely playoff berth. Stay tuned.

New 'Anchorman 2' Trailer Hits the Web
The latest trailer for "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" has hit the web and it looks like the new movie will be legendary, at least in its own mind. The official synopsis: "With the 70's behind him, San Diego's top rated newsman, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), returns to the news desk in 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.' Also back for more are Ron's co-anchor and wife, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), weather man Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), man on the street Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) and sports guy Champ Kind (David Koechner) – All of whom won't make it easy to stay classy…while taking New York's first 24-hour news channel by storm. "
The idea of old-school local anchors going up against 24-hour news sounds full of comedic angles. It also gets us thinking about the possibilities of "Anchorman 3: The Legend Continues Again," with Burgundy and his buddies coping with blogging, online video, and social media. But we're getting ahead of ourselves.
Watch the clip. What do you think?

I have been using this toner for about 4 days now and I have noticed a huge difference already! Thanks for the great advice.
I've been a vegetarian for just over a year and I am slowly going vegan by giving up one thing at a time so the change isn't so dramatic. Your site has helped me find vegan products I have never heard of before. Awesome job changing the world one person at a time. 🙂
Great, THANK YOU!
I love this idea for toner and I want to try it but have some questions. How long does this keep for and do I need to anything special like refrigerate it? Thanks!

5 Reasons Why The Bodybuilding Lifestyle Will Make Your Life Better
July 20, 2010 by Shaun
Filed under The Fitness Bug
- Training insane
- Dieting
- Sometimes Obsession!!
Why, why, why do you do it?
(The words from an outsider looking in)
Well for some, the lifestyle can possibly become an unnecessary obsession. But it is highly unlikely in most cases.
We are all fitness freaks in this bodybuilding lifestyle and today I'm putting up a case in our defence for why we do what we do.
The 5 core reasons and benefits of bodybuilding and exercise.
#1 It Deals With Anger Management
The beauty and innocence of the 'perfect' life truly is over once you become a teenager, and life becomes even more eventful as the years go on. I always do state that you should try to retain that 'kiddy's' mind frame as long as you can (Which is one way of keeping in touch with the young crowd as you age). But that is always easier said than done as life will take its toll, and everyone's pain threshold is different.
Any how, my point is this…
- Rocky Relationships
- Bad friendships
- Crappy work colleagues
All of these situations can make your blood boil to new heights and cause serious anger (For years after in some cases). But rest assured. You don't need to attend any anger management classes. All you need is the gym.
A few screaming weightlifting workouts will be plenty to get that built up anger off of your chest. The best part about all of this is that you will be killing two birds with one stone.
1. No more anger (The initial anger may actually help you push more weight – here's why)
2. You get to build a better body. Which will obviously make you feel great. Mentally and physically.
Win, win!!!
#2 You Will Look Like A Million Dollars
Pretty obvious one here, but becoming gym fit will make you stand out in a crowd. You will also become more attractive to your friends of the opposite sex. You might only be friends now, but you can bet a good dollar that they will be having thoughts of becoming than 'just friends'.
The other big bonus to becoming gym fit, is that it will make you look younger. Regular exercise will slow down the ageing process for sure, and everyone hates getting and looking old, so this is a big one.
Tip for guys
Shave that beard off! It's adding years to your life.
How 'not' to look?
Think I'm talking crap?
Well, here's some examples of two fitness freaks that everyone knows (They're over 40 too!)
- LL Cool J
- Tony Horton
Exercise will also improve the elasticity of your skin, which will give off better skin tone. But if you want to maintain it, then be sure to try out products from these guys
King of Shaves
Which literally turned the life of my skin around back in Winter 2008!
#3 The Bodybuilding Lifestyle Will Improve Your Day To Day Life
Key pointers:
Tolerate more pain
Exercise increases the level of endorphins in your body. Which acts as the bodies natural killer of pain.
Child birth will become a breeze (For the ladies)
If you stay fit, shooting out those babies will become less of a traumatic experience.
Ache no more
I've talked about the importance of stretching quite a lot on this site, but doing so will nullify those super aches that you tend to suffer from as you age. Especially back pain (Which can be brutal).
You will have super energy (Like me :))
I personally know a lot of people that are absolutely shattered after a day at work. But this should not be so. Especially for young people (50 and under). This will not happen once you become gym fit. You will be ready to do so much more in the evening hours which in turn gives you more time to get a lot more done in your day (obviously).
No more stress
Physical or emotional stress!
- Rocky Relationships
- Bad friendships
- Crappy work colleagues
Will affect you no more!
No old peoples home for you
The majority of you here will be aged 60 and under. But for those who are creeping past the big SIX ZERO, get pumping now. You'll turn into a Duracell battery and keep going like Mr Bruce Forsyth.
You will get beautiful sleep
Working your muscles, the insane way will help you sleep and you will have no choice but to relax in the late hour. It really is that simple. It gets even better when you start taking up (beneficial) non-bodybuilding activities such as meditation and yoga.
Your new alias is now Mr/ Mrs. stamina
Endurance will be fully improved. Once it is, the world is your oyster when it comes to doing what you want, for however long you wish to do it.
- Sex
- Partying
- World cruises
- Marathons
And much, much more. You decide!
Enter Mr strong man/ woman
I'll be specific here and say functional strength. This is the strength that will help you with pushing, puling, lifting every day objects in your every day activities.
#4 The Bodybuilding Lifestyle Will Improve Your Life At Work
We know that exercise will increase your stamina and push you to get more out of your day. But it will also make the day at work more pleasant too.
Moment of Clarity
- Exercise
- Weightlifting
- Cardio workouts
- Meditation
All of these are super aids for clearing your head and improving your self actualization once this happens, you will actually start looking forward to the day ahead.
Equals mission accomplished = A happy lifestyle, all from bodybuilding!
You will have Improved self esteem
Countries like the USA are built on confidence. And this is what you will become. People feed directly off of it and they will respond to you in a positive manner. Once this happens the boss man will start shining the green light on you and you will be able to take on greater responsibilities and gain more respect from your co-workers.
#5 The Lifestyle Will Lower Your Blood Pressure
A high blood pressure is the starting point of potentially having a heart attack. You will literally be dead within minutes once pressure bust pipes. Regular exercise will prolong your life greatly. Here's a visual example of why having a high blood pressure is dangerous.
Shocking no doubt!
There are obviously plenty of other benefits to taking up the bodybuilding lifestyle, many of which I have covered across this entire site. But these are the points which will affect you the instant you decide to live the lifestyle, and when you do, just know that people within your close circle will take notice. For the better!
Strike down those who are against the bodybuilding life style. Let them die a miserable an unfit death!

Return of the mailbag . . . as inbox
Yes, by popular demand, the ol' mailbag is coming back under a new format, now identified as Inbox to bring it more in step with the times. But it basically will be the same old song: you hurling questions, your faithful correspondent trying to respond as honestly as the law allows.
For now, if you have something you'd like to throw my way — and you know you do — just pass it along here, making sure to let me know where you live along with your first name and last name initial. We'll re-open a season-long dialogue. This will be more spontaneous than in the past, with no assigned publishing days. We'll be winging it, which should be fun.
In the immortal words of the great Marvin Gaye, let's get it on.

A letter from Earl
Thank you to all who attended the Funeral Services for Earl Silverman
Earl was laid to rest May 10th, 2013 in Calgary Alberta, by the Chevra Kadisha. The cemetery is at the northeast corner of Highway 22X and 37 Street S.W. in Calgary (a few minutes west of Spruce Meadows) should anyone wish to pay their respects.
Anyone wishing to share their stories and memories are invited to post a comment to this page. Please note that comments are moderated to prevent spam, though all authentic comments will be graciously allowed.
I first met Earl Silverman in the summer of 1989, shortly after stepping around his Harley which was parked on the walkway leading to the front door of his Richmond Road (Calgary) home. I was looking for a room to stay in while attending school. With the appearance of a biker, Earl opened the door wide, smiled warmly, and invited me in. What I discovered then and was reminded of countless times over the years, is that his door was always open – especially to those in need. I am saddened by his loss, while at the same time, I am lifted with the knowledge that he touched a lot of lives in very positive ways. I will miss him for a very, very long time. Many others will as well. Rest in peace my friend.
If you have a story you'd like to share about your experiences with Earl, please post it in a comment on any page and I will add it to the website. Also, donations go into Earl's PayPal account. Any funds will remain there pending distribution decisions and in accordance with Earl's wishes. Thank you.

Smiths Grove is now home to the first Schlotzsky's store in south central Kentucky.
Crossroads IGA – which features Cinnabon baked goods, Carvel ice cream and Schlotzsky's Bakery & Cafe – officially opened Wednesday at 619 S. Main St. in Smiths Grove. The building stands where the Shell gas station was – and fuel is still available on the premises.
Dog food, charcoal, soft drinks, motor oil, chilled tuna sandwiches and jars of pickled eggs stock the shelves in the 11,000-square-foot facility. A specialty coffee and hot beverage bar and customizable fountain and frozen beverage bar stand near the cafe.
Lifelong Smiths Grove resident Ruby Woods attended an open house Tuesday evening where she had her first taste of Cinnabon. Woods attended the grand opening Wednesday and left with a box of Cinnabon cinnamon rolls she purchased. Woods said she's excited about the options the store gives Smiths Grove.
"I think it's wonderful," Woods said. "I think it's going to do Smiths Grove justice. We're all excited about it. We need something like this in Smiths Grove."
The store is the fifth Crossroads IGA Houchens Industries has opened in the Bowling Green-Warren County market and the 10th in Kentucky. Houchens Industries recently opened another store in Louisville.
The new Crossroads IGA employs 57 people, 12 of whom were prior employees of Shell and IGA in Smiths Grove. The employment opportunities and additional grocery and convenience store products will benefit everyone in town, Woods said.
"This is the biggest thing to happen to Smiths Grove in years," Woods said.
Brandon Jones, spokesman for Houchens Industries, is also a Smiths Grove resident, so the new Crossroads IGA is special to him.
The store is "a wonderful addition, personally as well as professionally," Jones said. "I think it's going to be a really good fit for the entire community.'
People at the grand opening could spin a wheel set up in front of the cafe for prizes, including food and discounts. Cupcakes were also available for the crowd of about 40 people to celebrate the event.
Mark Meers, chief marketing officer for Schlotzsky's, said the Smiths Grove Crossroads IGA is the first of several partner projects the company will have with Houchens Industries. The store's proximity to the interstate will likely draw many truckers and travelers, Meers said.
"We want to be a dedicated stop along the way for (travelers) to get a great Schlotzsky's meal while visiting Smiths Grove," Meers said.
Meers said Schlotzsky's is trying a new rewards program at the Smiths Grove store. Lotz4Me is a mobile app that allows customers to get $7 off their purchase after their seventh $6-minimum purchase. Schlotzsky's also caters and delivers.
Smtihs Grove Mayor Bert Higginbotham said he was thrilled with the store, especially since he found Edy's sugar-free ice cream, which he often has trouble finding.
Crossroads IGA is in a great location for highway traffic, he said, and the people of Smiths Grove are happy to have another food and grocery option close to home.
"I'm tickled with this," Higginbotham said.
Various public officials attended the opening, including Bowling Green Mayor Bruce Wilkerson, Warren County Judge-Executive Mike Buchanon, state Rep. Jody Richards, D-Bowling Green, Warren County Attorney Amy Milliken, state Sen. Mike Wilson, R-Bowling Green, and state Rep. Jim DeCesare, R-Bowling Green.
Tim Sturgill, division manager for Houchens Industries, said he's looking forward to the future of Smiths Grove's Crossroads IGA.
"I think you're going to be proud of what we're going to do for you here in Smiths Grove," Sturgill said.
Crossroads IGA is open daily from 5 a.m. to midnight.

All fees are due on Monday's. By noon on Tuesday's you will be charged a late fee.
We would like to thank everyone who supported us after the hurricane. Parents, teachers, neighbors, community leaders, etc.
We also want to let you know that we are here for you and your family. We partner with the United Way and their 2-1-1 program that provides free information and referral to human/social service agencies within Lee, Hendry, Glades and Okeechobee Counties.
October 17th-20th Please set up a time to meet with your child's teacher to discuss progress and areas that your child may need more help with at home. This should only take about 15 minutes. Conferences will start at 9am and end at 6:15pm.
Tuesday, October 31st Costume Party! We will be having a costume party so your child can come dressed in different characters. If you would like your child to participate, help them dress up in their favorite character. It could be a character from their favorite book, or someone they want to be when they grow up.
Through play children learn about different roles people play, imitation, make-believe, social skills & interaction.
Children should always go out trick or treating accompanied by a responsible adult. If you have a group of kids going, the parents should choose two or three of them to go along and keep an eye on things.
Instruct your children not to eat any treats until they bring them home to be examined by you. This way you can check for any problem candy and get the pick of the best stuff!
Instruct your child to never go into the home of a stranger or get into their car. Explain why this is not a good idea and what to do if someone approaches them and tries to talk to them.
This past month our community experienced a natural disaster, that created stress and fear in all of us. As we know, young children are most fearful when they don't understand what is happening around them. As parents, it is important to provide guidance and understanding that help restore a sense of security and well-being.
So, what can we do to help children who have experience a disaster or any other tragic event?
From www.savethechildren.org
With young children, power struggles often occur after giving a child a command, or when the child is tired, hungry or stressed. To lessen power struggles slow down your speech and give only one or two commands at a time. Tell your child what you want them to do instead of what not to do. Use pictures or your body to model the desired behavior or action to avoid power struggles. The brain is a pattern seeking-device. The more consistent you are the more effective it will become.

Mix the cake mix, pumpkin and eggs together. It will be thick. Spread the batter out in a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake for about 35 minutes at 325 degrees if baking in a glass pan or 350 degrees in any other pan. Reduce the cider by half. Add milk, pumpkin pie spice and confectioner's sugar when cider is cool, If glaze is too thick add a little more cider and stir until the right consistency. Set aside until ready to use.

This topic is about high blood pressure that some women get during pregnancy. For information about preeclampsia, a more serious kind of high blood pressure, see the topic Preeclampsia.
Blood pressure is a measure of how hard your blood pushes against the walls of your arteries. If the force is too hard, you have high blood pressure (also called hypertension).
Blood pressure is shown as two numbers. The top number (systolic) is the pressure when the heart pumps blood. The bottom number (diastolic) is the pressure when the heart relaxes and fills with blood.
Blood pressure is high if the top number is more than 140 or if the bottom number is more than 90.
Normally, a woman's blood pressure drops during her second trimester. Then it returns to normal by the end of the pregnancy.
But in some women, blood pressure goes up very high in the second or third trimester. This is sometimes called gestational hypertension, and it can lead to preeclampsia. You will need to have your blood pressure checked often and you may need treatment. Usually, the problem goes away after the baby is born.
Some women have chronic high blood pressure before they get pregnant. High blood pressure that started before pregnancy usually doesn't go away after the baby is born.
A small rise in blood pressure may not be a problem. But your doctor will watch your pressure to make sure it doesn't get too high. The doctor also will check you for preeclampsia.
Very high blood pressure keeps your baby from getting enough blood and oxygen. This could limit your baby's growth or cause the placenta to pull away too soon from the uterus. High blood pressure also could lead to stillbirth.
Experts don't know the exact cause of high blood pressure during pregnancy.
High blood pressure usually doesn't cause symptoms. But very high blood pressure sometimes causes headaches and shortness of breath or changes in vision.
If you have high blood pressure, tell your doctor right away if you get a headache or belly pain. These are early signs of preeclampsia.
High blood pressure is usually found during a prenatal visit.
This is one reason why it's so important to go to all of your prenatal visits. You need to have your blood pressure checked often. During these visits, your blood pressure is measured. A sudden increase in blood pressure often is the first sign of a problem.
Your doctor may have you take medicine if he or she thinks your blood pressure is too high.
If you have high blood pressure during pregnancy but had normal blood pressure before pregnancy, your pressure is likely to go back to normal after you have the baby.

Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
If you get high blood pressure during pregnancy, you will probably not have any symptoms. It usually requires a blood pressure check to detect high blood pressure.
Blood pressure is too high if the top number is more than 140, or if the bottom number is more than 90 (usually described as "140 over 90" or 140/90). Blood pressure measured at 140/90 or higher is classified as high and 160/110 or higher is classified as severe.
Some women have high blood pressure during pregnancy because they had chronic high blood pressure before getting pregnant.
Women with chronic high blood pressure who become pregnant normally have a drop in blood pressure during the first two trimesters. But during the late second or in the third trimester, blood pressure returns to higher-than-normal levels. After delivery, their blood pressure remains high.
If you aren't certain that you had normal blood pressure before pregnancy, it is possible that you had chronic high blood pressure before you got pregnant. If so, your blood pressure may remain high after your pregnancy.
High blood pressure that develops before the 20th week of pregnancy is usually a sign of either chronic high blood pressure or short-term, mild high blood pressure. In rare cases, it is an early sign of preeclampsia.
High blood pressure is typically found during regular
prenatal checkups.
Certain tests are given at
each prenatal visit to check for high blood pressure. These
Other tests may also be used to monitor for signs of
preeclampsia, including:
If you get high blood
pressure while you're pregnant, the baby's health also will be closely
monitored. The more severe your condition, the more often you'll need testing,
ranging from once a week to daily.
Tests commonly used include:
If you have high blood pressure during your pregnancy, your treatment may
include close monitoring by your doctor and taking blood pressure medicine.
Your doctor may have you take medicine if he or she thinks
your blood pressure is too high. Some women with ongoing high blood
pressure stay on blood pressure medicine but take a lower dose
during pregnancy if their blood pressure improves.
Medicines used to control chronic high blood pressure during pregnancy include:
Some high blood pressure medicines are dangerous during pregnancy.1 If you take high blood pressure medicines, talk to your
doctor about the safety of your medicine before you become pregnant or as soon
as you learn you are pregnant. Make sure that your doctor has a complete list
of all medicines that you are taking.
Other blood pressure medicines that may be used include:
Lowering blood pressure too
much or too fast can reduce blood flow to the placenta, causing problems for
the baby. So medicine is reserved for preventing severely high blood pressure
levels that may be life-threatening to you or the baby.
If you have high blood pressure during pregnancy, take
steps to help control your blood pressure:

text: Computer Stupidity Throughout the World Computer stupidity is hardly limited to what takes place in the privacy of the home, school, or office. Here is the kind of stupidity that has the gumption to flaunt itself to the rest of the world. Once in a great while, it even has an impact on foreign relations. ________________________________________ A former co-worker was called to solve a problem. The problem was that a customer called saying that his 23-inch workstation monitor screen was cracked. The customer was a mining company in the Andes mountains. (We live in Chile, South America.) Upon checking the manuals, they found the monitor's maximum operating altitude above sea level was lower than where the mine was. My friend's superviser was worried that the monitor might blow up in someone's face and create a major incident. They sent him right away with a replacement. When he arrived, they took him to where the workstation was. He took a long look at it, then licked his fingers and wiped the screen. The monitor hadn't been cracked. It was just dirty. ________________________________________ We do a lot of business in Central and South America, which generally requires that we have a translator on the phone. Usually, it's our sales rep, who should know better, but that's beside the point. One particular day I was at my wit's end. The simple function of creating a user account for these people had already taken an hour and a half, and they just weren't getting it. They'd speak in rapid-fire Spanish for a while, the sales rep would translate for me, I'd make a response, and it would begin all over again. Occasionally, I'd hear the client make comments in English, so I know he could at least halfway understand me. I'd also explained time and again that this was explained in the manuals, which an outside company had translated into Spanish specifically for this client. I was told that they'd much rather be on the phone with us while they tried this. Finally, it got to the point where even the non-technical sales rep was tearing out her hair. I was just about to go get my manager, seeing as how I'd now been on the phone for nearly an hour and a half, when the customer suddenly piped up, in English, "Huh, you know -- I think that we will try reading the manuals, and then call you back if we have any problems!" Thank goodness for the mute button on the phone. ________________________________________ The Computer Museum in Boston is a very cool place and should not be judged by this anecdote. In 1995, I was there with my father. In a place with the first virtual reality machine ever built, Danny Hillis' Tinkertoy computer, and other lovely objects, their star attraction is a giant plywood model of a computer that you can walk around in. In fact, you can go on a tour of it, led by a young gentleman who explains how computers work as you went. The tour guide failed to make a stellar impression early in the tour (Did YOU know they're called microchips because they're really, really small?), but we hung on bravely. That is, until he got to explaining what a floppy is. He pulled a 3 1/2" disk out of his pocket and said: • Tour Guide: "A lot of people don't know why they call it a floppy because, you see here--" (shakes disk) "--it's not floppy. But you see that's just the outside." (pries case apart, removes interior, shakes it) "Inside, you see, it's floppy. That's why they call it that. You need floppies because sometimes the computer can have what's called a fall-down. I dunno why they call it a fall-down, but that's why you need the floppies or else you lose the stuff in the computer." It was at this point that my father leaned over to me and said, "I really don't think I can take any more of this tour." I agreed, and we snuck off to explore on our own, but in retrospect I almost wish we'd stayed. I mean, suppose he finished by showing us the giant plywood cup holder! ________________________________________ This story was told by people from Motorola and is supposedly included in every microcontroller training course Motorola gives. Test flights of F-16's were being conducted in Israel. The F-16's were doing low height rounds. On approach to the Dead Sea, the whole navigation system suddenly reset itself. The daring pilot landed the bird. HQ called up Motorola and ordered a team on the spot ASAP. The ground tests went perfectly, but every time the bird went airborn, it rebooted. The pilots were getting restless. Flying on the border of hostile territory without navcom, with the Arabs pointing their earth-to-air missiles at anything that moves, wasn't that pleasant. Neither was debugging the whole navcom in-flight. Then someone figured it out. The height of the Dead Sea relative to world sea level is -400 meters. As soon as the F-16 reached sea level, the navcom did a divide by zero, crashed, and rebooted. ________________________________________ What follows is an urban legend. It is not true. It contains several historical and cultural inaccuracies. It does, however, make a compelling case for its moral. SuperMac records a certain number of technical support calls at random, to keep tabs on customer satisfaction. By wild "luck," they managed to catch the following conversation on tape. Some poor SuperMac TechSport got a call from some middle level official...from the legitimate government of Trinidad. The fellow spoke very good English and fairly calmly described the problem. It seemed there was a coup attempt in progress at that moment. However, the national armoury for that city was kept in the same building as the Legislature, and it seems that there was a combination lock on the door to the armoury. Of the people in the capitol city that day, only the Chief of the Capitol Guard and the Chief Armourer knew the combination to the lock, and they had already been killed. So, this officer of the government of Trinidad continued, the problem is this. The combination to the lock is stored in a file on the Macintosh, but the file has been encrypted with the SuperMac product called Sentinel. Was there any chance, he asked, that there was a "back door" to the application, so they could get the combination, open the armoury door, and defend the Capitol Building and the legitimately elected government of Trinidad against the insurgents? All the while he is asking this in a very calm voice, there is the sound of gunfire in the background. The Technical Support guy put the person on hold. A phone call to the phone company verified that the origin of the call was in fact Trinidad. Meanwhile, there was this mad scramble to see if anybody knew of any "back doors" in the Sentinel program. As it turned out, Sentinel uses DES to encrypt the files, and there was no known back door. The Tech Support fellow told the customer that aside from trying to guess the password, there was no way through Sentinel, and that they'd be better off trying to physically destroy the lock. The official was very polite, thanked him for the effort, and hung up. That night, the legitimate government of Trinidad fell. One of the BBC reporters mentioned that the casualties seemed heaviest in the capitol, where for some reason, there seemed to be little return fire from the government forces. Ok, so they shouldn't have kept the combination in so precarious a fashion. But it does place "I can't see my Microsoft Mail server" complaints in a different sort of perspective, does it not?

I would like to know about the extent of normal immune responses. The question is this: if, in a patient of yours, you find in the periferal blood and in the bone marrow a monoclonal population of lymphocytes, how many of them are enought for you to consider the finding abnormal. We found a monoclonal B cell population in pb-3% and bm-5% in a male 67 years old patient. Are there completely monoclonal immune responses? Can the more frequent epitopes in a normal immune response be present in such numbers as to be mistaken for a neoplasic cell line? I think not but I´m not sure. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
