In Reply to: A stone's throw posted by David FG on May 19, 2009 at 19:54:
: : I have always been curious as to the origin of "A stone's throw", and appreciate the forum answers to this as being "a short distance" as in a "throw of a stone". But my question is why the apostrophe is used to make the throw possesive to the stone. Shouldn't it be "a stone throw" instead? After all, we don't say it's "a chip's shot" in golf, or a "short's walk" from here, etc.
: But the difference is that in your two examples, 'chip' and 'short' are adjectives.
: In 'a stone's throw', 'stone' is a noun. It is a throw of the stone.
["School days," "choir practice," "tennis match" - the first word in each of these pairs is a NOUN OF ATTRIBUTION, that is, it functions as an adjective: it says WHAT KIND OF days or practice or match; it attributes a generalized quality. But in these other pairs - "a stone's throw," "an hour's time," "a moment's notice" - the first noun SPECIFIES throw or time or notice; it answers the question "---of what?" ... and hence the possessive apostrophe.
[We make an exception for "chip shot" - a term of art coined by golfers for their own use. If a strict grammarian had been present at the creation he might have called it a chipping shot; but the grammarian wasn't originally consulted, and it isn't proper for him to come trailing after, second-guessing a natural usage already both functional and vivid. - Bac.]

In fact, there's no place that the old school feel of the game becomes more apparent than when you face off against bosses. Bosses have truly massive amounts of health, and you are only going to defeat them with patience and accuracy. It's a game of pattern memorization as you wait for the boss to throw the right attack that leaves them open for multiple strikes. Players who are more used to modern games with easier difficulties may find these bosses a bit off putting as you can easily die in only a couple of hits, but gamers who relish the feeling of a hard won victory over a difficult opponent will be in heaven here.
The presentation of Strider is truly top notch. The graphics are glorious and smooth, perfectly rendering enemies exploding into bits as Strider slashes through them. The environments are perfect, each of them a throwback to an old Strider stage both in design and in the background music. The voice actors are great too, if not a little hilarious. It feels like they are purposefully hamming it up at points, but that is part of what gives the game its old school charm.
There are a couple problems with Strider worth mentioning, however. First of all, it's short. Casual players will beat it in 5-6 hours. Speed runners will likely blow through it in less than one. Some levels that we were shown as the game was being developed seem completely absent. Many enemies are reused from level to level and some levels do have a same-y feel to them. This doesn't make the game get stale, but it does make slashing through the same enemies over and over again feel less thrilling.
But these are just nitpicks about a game that is otherwise pretty good. There aren't a whole lot of hardcore action platformers out there these days, so Strider's release is a welcome boon to the hardcore crowd. You'll love Strider if you like being challenged, but more importantly, you'll like Strider if you are a Strider Hiryu fan, and there are a lot of those. At the very least, Strider is worth a try, and as long as you are OK with its short length, you should definitely pick it up.

Saunders, Craig, Hardoon, David, Shawe-Taylor, John and Widmer, Gerhard (2008) Using String Kernels to Identify Famous Performers from their Playing Style. Intelligent Data Analysis, 12 (4).
In this paper we show a novel application of string kernels: that is to the problem of recognising famous pianists from their style of playing. The characteristics of performers playing the same piece are obtained from changes in beat-level tempo and beat-level loudness, which over the time of the piece form a performance worm. From such worms, general performance alphabets can be derived, and pianists' performances can then be represented as strings. We show that when using the string kernel on this data, both kernel partial least squares and Support Vector Machines outperform the current best results. Furthermore we suggest a new method of obtaining feature directions from the Kernel Partial Least Squares algorithm and show that this can deliver better performance than methods previously used in the literature when used in conjunction with a Support Vector Machine.

05.16.08 Fast BreaksPosted by rtmsf on May 16th, 2008
Finishing out your week with a bunch of meaningless links – enjoy!
- OJ Mayo claims he never took nothing from nobody! Apparently Mayo's HS in Ohio (North College Hill) will keep its two titles from 2005 and 2006 – the OHSAA only gives you six weeks to contest a violation of any kind!
nvr1983 update: I prefer the actual LA Times article/interview. Even though I know it is normal for athletes to get rather large gifts from agents before the draft (rtmsf and I witnessed it in 1998 with Vince Carter and Antawn Jamison and a tricked out Navigator), the last sentence is a classic.
- UNC's Alex Stepheson announced that he is transferring closer to home for family reasons (SoCal).
- USC may lose a major recruit for 09 in the fallout of the Mayo scandal.
- UConn guard Doug Wiggins is transferring to UMass – oh, to reminisce on what an uproar this would have caused ca. 1994.
- Indiana's former assistant coach Dan Dakich got bought out for $185k.
- BYU's Trent Plaisted signed with an agent and will stay in the NBA Draft.
- Here's Shawn Siegel's most excellent ratings of the top ten players at each position in this year's draft class (PGs, SGs, and more to come…)
- Yes, kids, testing the waters can end up pigeonholing you and hurting your future draft position.
- Jay Bilas indicts everyone and anyone related to the stink emanating from the business of basketball (and we largely agree with him). (insider only)
- Gary Parrish talks about how teams are stealing players from programs going through coaching changes (Duke and UCLA are the latest beneficiaries).
- If this isn't IRONIC in the wake of Huggins' stint at Kansas State (one-and-done), we don't know what is…
- Andy Glockner reports that the mid-majors are getting hit hard by the glut of early entries these days too.
- Is college basketball being unfairly singled out for additional enforcement (vis-a-vis football) by Myles Brand?

Scientists developed an unique approach for checking the integrity of components operating under harsh conditions at power stations. Extreme temperatures and stresses in engineering elements such as steam pipes in a power plant may cause weld cracks that may develop until the pipeline breaks. Nevertheless, present creep strain measurement techniques are difficult to apply in a power plant because of to oxidation at high heat over a prolonged duration of time. The absence of long-term precise creep dimension leads to poor creep life prognosis, placing European power generation infrastructure at risk. Researchers initiated a project to accurately determine creep deformation and expand component life beyond the original design limitations in power stations. The project utilized digital images for long-term creep measurement and tracking of pipework where direct sensor accessory and human access are hard or dangerous. Scientists incorporated a digital digital camera equipped with a telecentric lens into a compact model system that allows brief deployment on an energy plant pipe. They also fabricated a protective casing for the assessment coupon and trialled it on an ex-service pipe. To create a high-density grid pattern on the examination coupon, experts formulated a micro laser cladding procedure, developed built-in software that allowed the operator to get pictures and calculate strain based on electronic picture correlation analysis. Based on a model and area creep strain measurements, the project developed a methodology to anticipate component remaining life and incorporated it in the system. Comprehensive analysis of the accelerated creep test data acquired from two different pipes revealed that the system is capable of supplying extremely accurate creep stress measurements.

This is the 'Greatest Depression'.
– Startling Evidence That Central Banks And Wall Street Insiders Are Rapidly Preparing For Something BIG (Economic Collapse, Aug 16, 2012):
If you want to figure out what is going to happen next in the financial markets, carefully watch what the insiders are doing. Those that are "connected" have access to far better sources of information than the rest of us have, and if they hear that something big is coming up they will often make very significant moves with their money in anticipation of what is about to happen. Right now, Wall Street insiders and central banks all around the globe are making some very unusual moves. In fact, they appear to be rapidly preparing for something really big. So exactly what are they up to? In a previous article entitled "Are The Government And The Big Banks Quietly Preparing For An Imminent Financial Collapse?", I speculated that they may be preparing for a financial meltdown of some sort. As I noted in that article, more than 600 banking executives have resigned from their positions over the past 12 months, and I have been personally told that a substantial number of Wall Street bankers have been shopping for "prepper properties" this summer. But now even more evidence has emerged that quiet preparations are being made for an imminent financial collapse. That doesn't guarantee that something will happen or won't happen. Like any good detective, we are gathering clues and trying to figure out what the evidence is telling us.
Why Is George Soros Selling So Much Stock And Buying So Much Gold?
I am certainly not a fan of George Soros. He has funneled millions upon millions of dollars into organizations that are trying to take America in the exact wrong direction.

The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the anti-Shia Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LEJ), which is an affiliate of Al Qaeda, have both claimed responsibility for the murderous attacks through suicide bombers on Shia processions during the holy fasting period at Lahore on September 1, 2010, and Quetta on September 3,2010. The Shia procession in Lahore was a normal one with no political significance. The procession in Quetta was in observance of Al Quds Day on the last Friday of the fasting period. Al Quds is the name of the historic mosque in East Jerusalem, which is under Israeli control since 1967. Ever since Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967, Muslims all over the world observe the last Friday of the fasting period as Al Quds Day to remind each other that Al Quds is still under the control of Israel.
2. The call for the observance of the last Friday of the fasting period as Al Quds Day was given by Ayatollah Khomeini in a message issued by him to all the Muslims of the world----Shias as well as Sunnis---in August 1979. He said in his message: " I invite Muslims all over the globe to consecrate the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as Al-Quds Day and to proclaim the international solidarity of Muslims in support of the legitimate rights of the Muslim people of Palestine. For many years, I have been notifying the Muslims of the danger posed by the usurper Israel which today has intensified its savage attacks against the Palestinian brothers and sisters, and which, in the south of Lebanon in particular, is continually bombing Palestinian homes in the hope of crushing the Palestinian struggle. I ask all the Muslims of the world and the Muslim governments to join together to sever the hand of this usurper and its supporters. I call on all the Muslims of the world to select as Al-Quds Day the last Friday in the holy month of Ramadan - which is itself a determining period and can also be the determiner of the Palestinian people's fate - and through a ceremony demonstrating the solidarity of Muslims world-wide, announce their support for the legitimate rights of the Muslim people. I ask God Almighty for the victory of the Muslims over the infidels."
3. Thirty-three people, mostly Shias, died in the explosions in Lahore and 55 in Quetta. Attacks on Shias are not unusual in Pakistan, but the attacks this year have been very virulent. In the past the Sunni extremists used to attack the Shias when they were highlighting their sectarian identity. On September 3, they attacked them even when they were highlighting their solidarity with all Muslims---Sunnis and Shias--- in renewing the pledge of the Islamic world not to rest till Al Quds was liberated from Israeli control.
4. Even though the TTP and the LEJ have projected the attacks on the processions as in reprisal for the murder of a Sunni cleric last year allegedly by the Shias, there is another angle to the anti-Shia attacks this year. The fasting period this year has coincided with the proclaimed end of the US military mission in Iraq. Sunni extremists have always held Iran and the Shias responsible for facilitating the US invasion and occupation of Iraq and accused them of collaborating with the US against Saddam Hussein.Ayman al-Zawahiri, the No 2 of Al Qaeda, had in the past accused Iran of stabbing the Ummah in the back by facilitating the US occupation of Iraq.
5. Al Qaeda, the TTP and the LEJ have a common objective in making Iran pay a price for its collaboration with the US in Iraq. In the Islamic world, anti-Shia feelings are the strongest in Pakistan. The loyalty of the Shias of Pakistan to Iran remains strong. In the past, the LEJ had attacked not only Shia targets, but also Iranian targets. It had killed Iranian diplomats and has allegedly been assisting the Jundullah, the Sunni organisation of Iranian Balochistan, which has been fighting against the Iranian regime.
6. The attacks on Shias observing Al Quds Day in Quetta were meant to punish not only the Shias of Pakistan, but also Iran. Generally, Iranian diplomats join Al Quds Day processions in different cities of Pakistan. One should not be surprised if there were some Iranian diplomats in the Quetta procession.
7. The international community has not taken note of the continuing siege of the Shias of the Kurram Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) by the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban. The Shias call Kurram the Pakistani Gaza and have been repeatedly appealing to the international community to end the siege by the Taliban. They accuse the Pakistan Army and its Chief of the Army Staff, Gen.Ashfaq Pervez Kayani of inaction while pretending to act against the two Talibans.
8. The mutual hostility of the Shias and Sunnis of Pakistan towards each other shows no signs of abating. On the contrary, it has been increasing as seen by recent anti-Shia attacks in Karachi, Lahore and Quetta. ( 4-9-10)

I have also asked similar q here :
To create a variants of MD5, I made following changes :
- MD5 uses a non-linear sin(i)* pow(2,32) ----> i plane to use cos(i)*pow(2,32)
- Instead original values of A, B, C, D that are four initial seeds( or states), that changes additively during the processing of input text.----> I am planing to start with some different then given in MD5's RFC.
- Also I would change the code functions. F,G,H,I (in MD5's RFC) with any other used in SHA r other.
I just want to know, What would be the effect on properties of MD5.
I want to use variant as a good hash function. I am not using Md5's variant for authentication.
Although, I have created four variants using above ideas and checked this with time inputs of 10 to 20 minutes and its working fine. Am i doing correct ?

Waking up this morning felt quite awkward! For years I have been plagued by 5 simple words…"You have an old soul"! Being raised in the south (East Texas by the Trinity River) and having been influenced by my grandparents (both in their late 90′ s and have been married for 70 years) one could say that I've picked up some old habits, traits, mannerisms, and a love for "The Golden Girls!".
Anyone who knows me knows that I have worked in many different capacities, in many different states, doing many different jobs. One thing that I learned early on though, was that it was hard for many people to take a young man so seriously, especially someone who has crammed what some would consider 20 years worth of work into my short lifespan. So, I made a decision! If anyone were to ask how old I was…I would state that I was 27 years old. I was okay with this, and it seemed to put some people at ease. Once we created a successful working relationship with each other, I would usually tell them how old I was…and they would be amazed. This was 5 years ago.
This Morning I woke up…and finally figured out what 27 years old felt like; and it feels pretty damn good! Scary…but good.
There are some things that I have learned in these 27 years, but one thing that I have learned for sure, and am learning more and more each day, is to trust my GUT! For years I second guessed what I felt would be right, or a proper choice, but for the last few years, I have made great personal strides by learning to trust my intuition…and I am a better person for it.
It is because of this experience that I make the following announcement:
I, Aaron L. Myers, II, former Mayoral Candidate, Obama Field Organizer, and Global Family Day National Director, formally announce my endorsement in support of Adrian Fenty for Mayor of Washington DC. Not only do I believe he has done a superb job during his tenure as mayor, but I am convinced that if given the opportunity, he will be able to see his initiative through to completion; and it is these initiatives that I believe will best serve the citizens in the District of Columbia.
Last night I had the privilege of attending a WIN (Washington Interfaith Network) candidate forum, where I had a chance to hear what each candidate had to say. It was at this forum last night, where Vincent Gray convinced me that he was not the man for the Job. Last night Vince Gray mentioned that he had stood before the organization many times, he also mentioned what he thought was going wrong in the District of Columbia. He even offered support for the initiatives for WIN. What he did NOT do, was show how his verbal support translated in tangible cooperation with the organization in the past. A gifted wordsmith, I am convinced that Vince Gray is a verbal candidate only, and that Adrian Fenty has a track record of proving that his actions match his rhetoric!
So as I celebrate my special day on today, and prepare for the Aaron L. Myers, II Gala on Saturday July 31st, where we will raise money for the Human Rights Campaign, I offer this endorsement to a good man, a proven leader, and the next Mayor of the District of Columbia, Adrian Fenty.

You may have heard about the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA. Simply put, this Web-censorship bill in the House could open the door to widespread Internet censorship.
Opposition to the bill has reached a boiling point. Millions of activists, hundreds of startups, social media sites like Tumblr, Reddit and Twitter and even big companies like Google, Yahoo! and eBay have joined with Free Press and other Internet advocacy groups against it.
This is one of the biggest tech stories of the year. Yet as a recent report from Media Matters for America shows, TV news has ignored it.
According to the report, SOPA — and Protect IP, its cousin in the Senate — have "received virtually no coverage from major American television news outlets during their evening newscasts and opinion programming." Among the offenders are ABC, CBS, Fox News, MSNBC and NBC.
A likely reason for the media blackout? The big networks — and their parent companies — support these two Internet-censorship bills.
Never Miss a Beat.

This is what happens when the interests of big business get in the way of the need to inform the public and protect free speech. These same media giants are lobbying the Federal Communications Commission to loosen its ownership rules and allow for even more media consolidation — another issue they've failed to cover. If the FCC permits runaway consolidation, media blackouts like the one affecting SOPA could become even more common.
Meanwhile, rank-and-file journalists are coming out strong against these censorship bills. And print media have reported on them. Earlier this month New York Times columnist David Carr wrote that SOPA was "alarming in its reach." Time, the Atlantic, Forbes and the Boston Globe have all reported on the legislation in the past week.
What is TV news afraid of?
These networks — ABC, CBS, Fox News, MSNBC and NBC — need to be held accountable for failing to provide coverage of such damaging legislation.

Owning a home is part of the American dream, but only about 60 percent of U.S. residents have achieved this goal. No matter where you are on your home buying journey — years away or ready to sign on the dotted line — there are financial and life circumstances that should figure into the equation. As you talk to family members and friends about their successes and stumbling blocks, keep these key points in mind.
Think long-term.
The more you can plan and save in advance, the more options you'll have for what you are able to buy. If you can, create a line item in your monthly budget dedicated to saving for a down payment, and prioritize debt repayment so you have fewer financial obligations once you decide to buy a home.
Decide what you need to save.
As you determine how much to save for a down payment, consider what price point you can afford for your house. For example, financial institutions are prohibited from issuing a mortgage that's more than 35 percent of your monthly income, and many advise no more than 28 percent of that total. And be aware that owning a home includes other costs, such as homeowners insurance, property taxes, maintenance, repair, and upgrades you might make to a home. As you add to any down payment savings you've started, keep this number in mind: 20 percent. That's the total down payment toward your purchase price that enables you to get a mortgage without the monthly expense of private mortgage insurance.
Do your research.
About 5 million home sales happen each year in the United States according to the National Association of Realtors. To find the perfect match for you, consider what's most important to you about your lifestyle to prioritize your list of mandatories. For example, you might want a certain number of bedrooms, desire a shorter commute, or need space for a dog.
It can be helpful during this research phase to get preapproved for a mortgage and to find a real estate agent. You also may want to attend a few open houses to get an idea of how the process works.
Move on or move up.
People who already own a home are familiar with much of the home buying journey. But when you sell one home and buy another, you have different considerations. For example, you may offer to purchase a new home but place contingencies on your offer, such as the ability to sell your existing home within a certain time frame. Use the same financial guidelines as with your first home purchase: Buy what you can afford and what works with your life and financial goals.

Would it be difficult to draw these taller?
We are fixing the shader renderer so it doesn't stretch landscapes to fit the whole sky (so moons aren't ovals) but then we get smearing because the built-in landscapes aren't tall enough.

(old) stomping ground
A favorite place where one used to frequent; a location where one used to spend a lot of time. It's been a long time since I've been back to the stomping ground by the lake! After the reunion, everyone from the old gang of friends went to our old stomping ground with some cans of beer, just like we used to do back in high school.

- graham legget has found that if he uses the 1.3.7-dev core, and
the 1.3.6 proxy code (plus a small patch of his) he doesn't get
the hangs he was reporting. Something is broken in the 1.3.7-dev
* mod_rewrite/3874: RewriteLock doesn't work for virtual hosts
=> When I find time, I can look at this. But I would appreciate
when someone other already can dive into this. My opinion
is already appended to the PR. -rse
* The Vary header field stuff is still broken (multiple
entries occur, etc.), for instance also in mod_rewrite.
=> I've already started to work on this, but I've not
finished it. I've less time... -rse
* long pathnames with many components and no AllowOverride None
Workaround is to define with AllowOverride None,
which is something all sites should do in any case.

A fix for siglongjmp() is available and has been tested
successfully by me, but has yet to be included in a
public patch. The likely cause of the "EINTR from
fopen()" bug has been identified, but analysis on how
to fix it continues."
* Doug MacEachern's libapr - Generic Apache Request Library (Alpha)
This package contains modules for manipulating client request data
via the Apache API with Perl and C.
Status: http://www.pobox.com/~dougm/libapr-0.20_01.tar.gz
Needs patch:
* MaxRequestsPerChild doesn't count requests, only the
number of connections processed.
We can either 'fix' it by renaming the directive to
MaxConnectionsPerChild or really fix it to actually count
the number of requests.
Lars: I think we should really fix.
Ken: Definitely fix this, otherwise an massive series of
requests on the same connection is possible, which
defeats the purpose.
Jim: The main idea behind this is to avoid problems with
memory leaks. So it really doesn't matter which we
do, as long as there's a match between the directive
and what it does. Since it's easier, I'd say just
rename to MaxConnectionsPerChild but keep MaxRequestsPerChild
as an "alias" to that (maybe print a short "MaxRequestsPerChild
is depreciated" message when Apache starts).
* get_path_info bug; ap_get_remote_host should be ap_vformatter instead.
* uri issues
- RFC2068 requires a server to recognize its own IP addr(s) in dot
notation, we do this fine if the user follows the dns-caveats
documentation... we should handle it in the case the user doesn't ever
supply a dot-notation address.
* Problems dealing with .-rooted domain names such as "twinlark." versus
"twinlark.arctic.org.". See the thread containing
Message-ID: <firstname.lastname@example.com> for more details.
In particular this affects the correctness of the proxy and the
vhost mechanism.
* proxy_*_canon routines use r->proxyreq incorrectly. See
* work around a Navigator/Mozilla bug when mod_proxy is used
(broken images).
Status: Lars' patch was vetoed. Roy and Dean think that it is
probably another buffer magic number error and should be
tested to find out and, if so, fixed like it was in core.
Dirkx: cannot reproduce this at all.
* ap_escape_html() always duplicates the string, even when there is
no change and the caller would be happy to use the original.
What is needed is a separate interface for "don't need a dup"
situations, like just about everywhere we use it in bvputs and
bputs calls.
dirkx: -1 (as some of the modules from modules.apache.org seem
(rightly?) to assume that they can modify the returned escaped
string whilst relying on the passed string not to be damaged.
* Should we disallow requests with bogus characters in the method?
Open issues:
* general/3787: SERVER_PORT is always 80 if client comes to any port
=> needs review by the protocol guys, I think.
* Paul would like to see a 'gdbm' option because he uses
it a lot.
+1: Greg (volunteers)
* Many people have asked for a DBM to be distributed with Apache to
isolate it from platform inconsistencies. SDBM (used by mod_ssl,
mod_dav, Perl, and others) should fit the bill and is public domain.
+1: Greg (volunteers)
* Maybe a http_paths.h file? See
+1: Brian, Paul, Ralf, Martin, Dirkx
+0: Jim (not for 1.3.0)
* Release builds: Should we provide Configuration or not?
Should we 'make all suexec' in src/support?
+1: Brian, Jim, Dirkx, Ken +1 (possible suexec path issue, though)
* root's environment is inherited by the Apache server. Jim & Ken
think we should recommend using 'env' to build the
appropriate environment. Marc and Alexei don't see any
big deal. Martin says that not every "env" has a -u flag.
* Marc's socket options like source routing (kill them?)
Marc, Martin say Yes
* Ken's PR#1053: an error when accessing a negotiated document
explicitly names the variant selected. Should it do so, or should
the original URI be referenced?
* Proposed API Changes:
- r->content_language is for backwards compatibility... with modules
that may not link any longer without some minor editing. The new
field is r->content_languages. Heck it's not even mentioned in
apache-devsite/mmn.txt when we got content_languages (note the s!).
The proposal is to remove r->content_language:
Status: Paul +1, Ralf +1, Ken +1, Martin +1, Dirkx +1 (I could
not find ANY module which uses it and which (still) compiles
after the config change.)
- child_exit() is redundant, it can be implemented via cleanups. It is
not "symmetric" in the sense that there is no exit API method to go
along with the init() API method. There is no need for an exit
method, there are already modules using cleanups to perform this (see
mod_mmap_static, and mod_php3 for example). The proposal is to
remove the child_exit() method and document cleanups as the method of
handling this need.
Status: Rasmus +1, Paul +1, Jim +1,
Martin +1, Ralf +1, Ken +1,
Dirkx +1 (with doc change)
* Should we re-enable nagle now that we're non-buffering CGIs? See
various messages from Marc in March 98.
* TZ should not be dealt with specially any longer now that we have
"PassEnv". See
Jim: IMO it's too late in the game for this... I'm
sure this would cause some strange bug reports as
people's cgi-scripts no longer work correctly
("It worked just fine before I upgraded to 1.3.0")
unless we warn people in big nasty letters to add
PassEnv TZ to their config files "just in case"
and hope they do it :)
Dirkx: Is not this the same issue about maintaining your 'env' ?
* In ap_bclose() there's no test that (fb->fd != -1) -- so it's
possible that it'll do something completely bogus when it's
used for read-only things. - Dean Gaudet
* Roy's HTTP/1.1 Wishlist items:
1) byte range error handling
* use of spawnvp in uncompress_child in mod_mime_magic - doesn't
use the new child_info structure, is this still safe? Needs to be
looked at.
* suexec doesn't understand argv parameters; e.g.
fails even when "ls" is in the same directory because suexec is trying
to stat a file called "ls -l". A patch for this is available at
and it's not bad except that it doesn't handle programs with spaces in
the filename (think win32, or samba-mounted filesystems). There are
several PR's to this and I don't see for security reasons why we can't
accomodate it, though it does add complexity to suexec.c.
Brian: +1
Win32 specific issues:
* fix O(n^2) attack in mod_isapi.c ... i.e. recopy the code from
In progress:
* Ben's ASP work... All agree it sounds cool.
* DDA's adding a tray application to the Windoze version for ease of
Status: Ken +1, Sameer +1, Martin +1, Ben +1 (as long as
we get a single executable)
Paul: No like Win95 specific stuff
Ken: What's W95-specific about it?
* should trap ^C when running not-as-service and do proper shutdown
* should have a pretty little icon for Apache on Win32
* proxy module doesn't load on Win95. Why? Good question. PR#1462.
David Whitmarsh says it's because
you can't dynamically load a DLL that uses declspec(thread). He
supplied a patch.
MID: <firstname.lastname@example.com>
* Proxy cache garbage collection doesn't work. PR#1891
* chdir() for CGI scripts and mod_include #exec needs to be
re-implemented now that CreateProcess is being used.
* process/thread model
- need dynamic thread creation/destruction, similar to
Unix process model
- can't use WaitForMultipleObjects in the same way we
do now, since that has a limit of 64(!) objects. Grr.
* some errors printed by CGIs to stderr don't end up making it
to the server log unless an extra debugging message is added
after they run? (PR#1725 indicates this may not be just Win32)
* handle bugs that make it pop up errors on console, ie. segv
equiv? Can we do this? Need to make it robust.
* install
- make installshield work
- config in cvs tree?
- install docs, etc.?
- location for install
* the mutex should be critical-regions, since the current design
is creating a mess of SO calls that are unnecessary
* we don't mmap on NT. Use TransmitFile?
* CGIs
- docs on how they work w/scripts
- WTF is the buffering coming from?
- we don't have a way to make non-blocking files on NT!
* performance
* documentation:
- running the server without admin
- how CGIs work
- update README.NT
- short/long name handling
- better status page on current state of NT for users
* http_main.c hell
- split into two files?
* who should run the service? Who exactly is the "system account"?
docs say:
Localsystem is a very privileged account locally, so you shouldn't run
any shareware applications there. However, it has no network privileges
and cannot leave the machine via any NT-secured mechanism, including
file system, named pipes, DCOM, or secure RPC.
A service that runs in the context of the LocalSystem account
inherits the security context of the SCM. It is not associated with
any logged-on user account and does not have credentials (domain
name, user name, and password) to be used for verification. This
has several implications: [... removed ...]
That _really_ sucks. Can we recommend running Apache as some
other user?
* modules that need to be made to work on win32
- mod_example isn't multithreadreded
- mod_unique_id (needs mt changes)
- mod_auth_db.c (do we want to even try this? We should have some
db of some sort... what else can we pick from under win32?)
- mod_auth_dbm.c
- mod_info.c (PR#1442 re exporting symbols for it...)
- mod_log_agent.c
- mod_log_referer.c
- mod_mime_magic.c (needs access to mod_mime API stage...)
* do something to disable bogus warnings
* rfc1413.c has static storage which won't work multithreaded
* mod_include --> exec cgi, exec cmd, etc. don't work right.
Looks like a code path that isn't run anywhere else that has
something not quite right... A PR or two on it.
* signal type handling
- how to rotate logs from command line?
(Point people to Andrew Ford's cronolog because it's "better"
than ours?)
* Currently if you double click on the conf files or the
log files you get a useless dialog offering the set of all
executables, usually after a very long pause. Ought
to stuff .conf in the registry mapping it to text.
* apparently either "BrowserMatch" or the "nokeepalive" variable
cause instability - see PR#1729.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- The owner of an Ohio apartment building has pleaded not guilty to starting a fire that killed two firefighters.
Ray Abou-Arab appeared in a Toledo court Tuesday morning to face charges that include aggravated murder and aggravated arson. He pleaded not guilty to all 13 counts.
The 61-year-old Abou-Arab was arrested just days after the fire in late January that killed a veteran firefighter and a rookie.
Abou-Arab is being held on a nearly $6 million bond.
Court documents allege Abou-Arab was in a garage at the site of the fire near downtown Toledo just before an apartment resident said she saw the blaze break out.
A judge on Tuesday issued a gag order for attorneys on both sides of the case.

Kidrobot Swatch Stop Motion Video
a follow-up to their latest collaboration, Kidrobot and Swatch release a stop motion video highlighting the eight Swatch Gent timepieces and Dunny figurines that were adapted for the artist campaign. The elaborate project has done its fair share of promotion over the past few weeks, but the impressive stop motion short is likely to be one of the more notable endeavors to date. Written, directed and produced by Happycentro, the Italian creative group combined a total of 1404 frames to comprise the fluid video that lasts for just under two minutes

The Pulse nightclub was filled with more than 300 people for Latin night, when a gunman identified as 29-year-old Omar Mateen began shooting around 2 a.m. Sunday. As bullets flew, club-goers struggled to understand what was happening. Here are accounts from witnesses as the horror unfolded:
Brandon Wolf, a former contestant on the Bravo show Kandi factory, tweeted: "Omg. Shooting at pulse. We hid in the bathroom. And we can't find our friends."
Later he wrote that a friend had died.
"My heart is broken. We couldn't save Juan. Thank you everyone who was praying and hoping. May he rest easy."
Luis Burbano told CNN: "The DJ was playing a typical set that incorporated what we thought was gunshots as part of the music, four shots — bah, bah, bah, bah — but for some reason it was different. No one put two and two together until the fifth and sixth, between 10 and 20, that's when everything really started getting real and then we all at that point did a domino effect all to the floor."
Christopher Hansen told NBC News he had taken his first sip from a drink when he heard what he thought was the beat of a song until he saw people falling to the dance floor.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"I just saw bodies going down," he said. "Bang, bang, bang."
He crawled past a bathroom and made it outside, where people were bleeding. A man whose pants were drenched in blood had a bullet in his back, he said. Hansen used his bandana to stop the bleeding.
"I had just seen the movie 'The Conjuring 2'" he said. "To go from a horror movie to a real horror, it's just shocking."
Brand White and his cousin were on the dance floor when White's cousin yelled to him, "B, it's a guy with a bomb," the AP reported. Suddenly, White was hit in the shoulder.
"All of a sudden it just started like a rolling thunder, loud and everything went black," White wrote in a Facebook message to the AP from his hospital room Sunday. "I think I was trampled."
He didn't recall leaving the club, but he remembered the state he was in: "Covered head to toe in blood."
"I remember screaming and mass chaos," he wrote. "There were hundreds of people there."
He got to the hospital, where he received a blood transfusion. As Sunday wore on, his cousin remained missing.
Mina Justice was asleep when she got the first text from her 30-year-old son, Eddie Justice, who was inside the Pulse. Here is their exchange of messages, according to The Associated Press.
"Mommy I love you," the first message said. It was 2:06 a.m.
"In club they shooting."
Mina Justice tried calling her 30-year-old son. No answer.
Alarmed and half awake, she tapped out a response.
"U ok"
At 2:07 a.m., he wrote: "Trapp in bathroom."
Justice asked what club, and he responded: "Pulse. Downtown. Call police."
Then at 2:08: "I'm gonna die."
Now wide awake, Justice dialed 911.
She sent a flurry of texts over the next several minutes.
"I'm calling them now."
"U still in there"
"Answer our damn phone"
"Call them"
"Call me."
The 911 dispatcher wanted her to stay on the line. She wondered what kind of danger her son was in. He was normally a homebody who liked to eat and work out. He liked to make everyone laugh. He worked as an accountant and lived in a condo in downtown Orlando.
"Lives in a sky house, like the Jeffersons," she would say. "He lives rich."
She knew he was gay and at a club — and all the complications that might entail. Fear surged through her as she waited for his next message.
At 2:39 a.m., he responded:
"Call them mommy"
He wrote that he was in the bathroom.
"He's coming"
"I'm gonna die."
Justice asked her son if anyone was hurt and which bathroom he was in.
"Lots. Yes," he responded at 2:42 a.m.
When he didn't text back, she sent several more messages. Was he with police?
"Text me please," she wrote.
"No," he wrote four minutes later. "Still here in bathroom. He has us. They need to come get us."
At 2:49 a.m., she told him the police were there and to let her know when he saw them.
"Hurry," he wrote. "He's in the bathroom with us."
She asked, "Is the man in the bathroom wit u?"
At 2:50 a.m.: "He's a terror."
Then, a final text from her son a minute later: "Yes."
More than 15 hours after that text, Justice still hadn't heard from her son. She and a dozen family and friends stayed at a hotel Sunday evening that was used as a staging area for relatives awaiting news.
Early on Monday, authorities identified Eddie Justice as one of the people killed in the rampage.

Kardashian is one name we all know (& love!) in Hollywood. From Keeping up with the Kardashians to Kourtney & Khloe take Miami to the pages of the weeklies -- they are everywhere and we LOVE it.
Since we spoke to Kourtney last her life has changed - but only for the better. We couldn't wait to catch-up! Kourtney opens up on her style since Mason, DASH and a few things we just might not know about her!
Since we spoke last so much has changed. Last time we talked to you the first season of Kourtney & Khloe take Miami was just starting, you were beyond excited about Dash Miami and just finding out you were expecting. How has life changed since Mason?
Well, life is now ALL about Mason! And I am loving every second of it. It was definitely an adjustment, but in the very best way!
You always have great style. Always! Has your style changed since Mason?
Yes. I am all about looking chic but being comfortable. I am always looking for stylish flats that I can run around in. Amazing big sunglasses have saved my life, especially on days when i just don't have time for makeup. I also find myself wearing jeans or shorts more rather than skirts or dresses (in the day at least)...I like to get down on the floor and play with him, so you can imagine this to be hard in a tight dress. I'm all about throwing on some jean shorts and a white t shirt and not spending as much time getting ready...for now anyways!
We had spoken about new DASH stores. Are those still in works, were you able to find any locations?
I would LOVE to open a DASH in NYC. That would be the next goal. New York exudes fashion. It is THE place for everything and anything fashion in America, so it is the next natural place to open a DASH. I am hoping to make this dream come true, as if I don't have enough going on already, especially being a new mom.
This season of KUWTK just started -- we are sure it is another great season. What do we have to look forward too?
Do you have any favorite brands you put your little prince in? We have to say, he has great style for a little one too!
Thank you!! It's so fun dressing him. Right when he was born, I went through his closet again and I was like this is his style and this is not. Once I met him, I knew. Crazy I know. I love Ralph Lauren, Eye Spy, Petit Bateau, Kicky Pants (pjs), Appaman (outerwear), Munster, h&m has great basics, Fore, Burberry, Haiden Surf (swim trunks). I am sure that I'm forgetting a million others.
We are getting ready to head off to New York Fashion Week in a few weeks. What do you see being the hot trend this coming fall?
I would say military insipired clothes will continue. I think leather will be a big trend. (shorts, pants, tops, dresses)
What should every girl have in her closet?
The perfect white boyfriend button down shirt. Classic, amazing with jeans, pants, shorts, even over a bikini open with the sleeves rolled up!
1. I was stung by a scorpion in college.
2. I'm a bitch when I'm hungry.
3. I love crying when watching sad movies.
4. I eat 2-4 double stuffed oreos dipped in milk before bed.
5. I always have a book with me in case I end up having time to read (not that I ever do).
6. I have had 3 panic attacks in my life. (all in closterphobic situations when I had no control)
7. I love interior design.
8. I love going to the mall!
9. Breakfast at Tiffanys is my favorite movie.

Hair's breadth: McDonnell certified AG winner
Virginia voters flocked to the polls for the November general election more than a month ago, but for Creigh Deeds and Bob McDonnell, the nail-biting is far from over.
On Monday, November 28, Virginia's State Board of Elections certified the attorney general's results: 323 votes of the 1.9 million cast gave McDonnell the lead.
"It's a tiny, tiny percentage," says political commentator Larry Sabato. "It's far from inconceivable that the votes could be found."
That's a possibility Deeds– who currently represents Charlottesville and much of Albemarle in the sprawling 25th Senate District– is banking on when the votes are recounted on December 20.
"The difference is well below the required one-half of one percent and, in fact, is only one-hundredth of one percent," says Deeds in a press release, "which makes this the closest statewide election in the history of the Commonwealth."
Since the difference in votes is so slim, Deeds wasted no time in requesting a recount. He petitioned the Richmond City Circuit Court for one the morning following the release of the certified results. On December 9, the court set the recount date, though the recount process is still undefined.
"There are a lot of questions still out there about how this is going to be conducted," says Deeds spokesman Mark Bergman. "We're moving forward to try to get a fair and accurate recount of the votes." Bergman says the Circuit Court judges will decide which ballots can be rescanned on a locality-by-locality basis on recount day.
Because the race is so close, the state board of elections will cover the actual cost of recounting ballots, but it will still cost each candidate a pretty penny.
"McDonnell and Deeds will have to pay for legal teams to fight this thing out," says Joshua Scott, a lecturer at the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. "Lawyers will wrangle over it."
Though not without cause.
"The history of this election is already interesting," says Scott. "Creigh was actually down three or four thousand votes on election night, prior to the counting of absentee ballots.
"Personally, I'd rather be in McDonnell's shoes right now. But it's true that as the process has continued, the lead has continued to shrink," Scott adds. "No one can predict what results this recount will bring."
State Senator Creigh Deeds still has a job representing Albemarle and the rest of the 25th District.
Bob McDonnell declared himself Virginia's next attorney general when his lead was around 2,000 votes.

During a committee hearing on pension reforms, Senate Minority Leader CRHISTINE RADOGNO, R-Lemont, cut to the heart of the political atmosphere surrounding state-funded pensions. It's also why public employee unions fighting for the status-quo have the losing hand in the battle for public opinion.
During a committee hearing on pension reforms, Senate Minority Leader CRHISTINE RADOGNO, R-Lemont, cut to the heart of the political atmosphere surrounding state-funded pensions. It's also why public employee unions fighting for the status-quo have the losing hand in the battle for public opinion.
To paraphrase Radogno, many Illinoisans don't have a retirement plan to look forward to that's anywhere close to those available to people covered by state plans. Radogno said it becomes a tough sell to convince the public they need to pay more to sustain retirement plans that aren't available to them and at the same time are better than theirs.
Please save your vitriol about lawmaker pensions, as if they alone are the cause of the state's pension problems.
Those pensions are a pretty sweet deal, no doubt about it. But only a comparatively tiny number of people participate in them. Out of the $78 billion pension debt, about $190 million is because of the lawmaker pension fund. In other words, you could eliminate the General Assembly Retirement System tomorrow and there would still be a huge pension deficit to be addressed.
People also like to argue that benefits aren't overly generous and that retired public employees aren't getting rich off of their pensions. No, but neither are private sector employees getting rich off of theirs.
A public pension does have security. That's becoming a scarcer commodity for private sector employees. As defined benefit plans, the state plans make pension payments whether you live one year as a retiree or 40 or more.
For many in the private sector, retirement income will come from a 401(k) or other defined contribution plan. Once the money in them runs out, well, too bad. There's no guaranteed lifetime income with those. Add to that the fact those plans have taken a beating in the recession and there's plenty of resentment over public pensions that look a whole lot better than the private sector ones right now.
Granted, the pension reforms haven't even become law yet, but it's never too early to start wondering how long the reforms will last.
How long before a lawmaker pushes to get this group or that added to the more lucrative alternative formula for high risk jobs? How long before someone argues to go back to flat cost-of-living increases for retirees instead of tying them to inflation? How long for any changes?
How about right now. Rep. RAYMOND POE, R-Springfield, already introduced a bill to lower to 62 the age at which people can retire without diminished benefits. The reform bill raised that age to 67.
Poe said the change will eliminate situations where longtime workers are maxed out on the pension benefits they can earn, but still can't retire without penalty. He said they shouldn't have to keep paying into the system when it won't benefit them.
Poe said his bill doesn't send a contradictory message.
"I didn't vote for (the reform bill)," Poe said.
Introducing a bill doesn't mean it will pass, and Poe wasn't going to predict the fate of his legislation. He's probably not the only lawmaker thinking of changes.
"I imagine people are drafting those bills already," said Rep. FRANK MAUTINO, D-Spring Valley.
But Mautino thinks the reforms will state intact as long as the economy continues to struggle.
"If the economy turns around, that's usually when this stuff gets added," he said.
It's pretty common and pretty routine for lawmakers to sponsor "death resolutions." They're resolutions lawmakers prepare to honor deceased constituents. Survivors are given a copy of the things.
Sometimes this routine practice can blow up in a person's face, as the Daily Herald noted last week. Sen. MICHAEL BOND, D-Grayslake, sponsored a resolution that memorialized a guy who died because police shot him. They shot him because he hit three cops with his car after they tried to arrest him on drug charges. It turns out the guy had a rather lengthy criminal history.
As you can guess, law enforcement officials in Bond's district were furious when they heard of the resolution. Bond blamed it on an office worker who got information for the resolution from an obituary that didn't contain details of the man's death. The story said Bond has apologized to his police departments.

Lutherstadt Eisleben is one of the oldest towns in the region between the Harz mountains and the river Elbe. Inextricably linked with the life of Martin Luther, the town and its Luther sites have been granted World Heritage status by UNESCO.
The house where Luther was born and the house where he died are both in Eisleben. They are among the most important Luther memorials of all and, thanks to recent excavations, provide exceptional insights into life in the late Middle Ages.
A visit to Eisleben's churches is like taking a stroll through Luther's life: he was christened at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, he was a vicar at St. Anne's Church and he held his last sermon at St. Andrew's Church. The Luther Trail in Eisleben connects all the sites associated with Luther and presents them in an engaging way.
You get a real sense of the history of the local region at the residence of the Counts of Mansfeld and on the medieval market square in the historical old quarter. The Eisleben Wiesenmarkt, the biggest folk festival in Central Germany, is held annually on the eastern side of town.
The Cistercian Convent in Helfta is a very special place. The jewel in the crown of German convents and a centre of mysticism in the 13th century, it can be visited today as part of a tour.

Hpv Vaccine
To vaccinate or not?
Many of you by now have heard in the media about the newly approved HPV Vaccine by Merck. It is a Quadrivalent vaccine which means it protects you against 4 viral strains: 6, 11, 16, and 18. There are over 100 different types of HPV viruses. About 60 of them cause the 'common warts' you see on hands and feet. About 40 strains cause mucosal infections of the genitals, anus, and respiratory tract. Those are divided into 'high risk types' (16, 18) and 'low risk types' (6, 11). The high risk types are better known as the viral strains that can turn into cervical cancer if left undetected and untreated. The lower risk types are more likely to cause the external genital warts and lower risk cervical changes on pap smears that resolve on their own most of the time.
Cervical cancer in the United States is estimated at 9,710 cases with 3,700 deaths. Of these 3,700 deaths, 70% are caused by the viral strains 16 and 18. There are an estimated 0.5 to 1 million cases of genital warts. Ninety percent of those are caused by viral strains 6 and 11. There is now a vaccine to help prevent you from contracting this virus and getting cervical cancer and/or genital warts in women. The vaccine is reported to be 100% effective in those females who have not been exposed to HPV. Men have an 80% lifetime chance of contracting the HPV virus that can cause genital warts and penile cancer in men. Now do not panic men, they are currently doing research on the vaccine in men aged 16 to 23. Penile cancer is very rare and fortunately accounts for less than 1 % of all cancers in men. The risk is higher though in uncircumcised men. They hope to approve the vaccine to prevent HPV infection in boys/men soon. Stay tuned.
Currently the vaccine is recommended for 11-12 year old girls. Females aged 13 to 26 years old can also receive the vaccine. It is most effective in females who have not been exposed to the HPV virus through vaginal intercourse. In those females it is 100% effective. The vaccine was less effective in females who have already been exposed to the HPV virus, and it does not treat existing HPV, genital warts, pre-cancers or cancer of the cervix. Females would still be protected against the 4 viral strains in the vaccine if they have not yet been exposed to them. But, there is no way to tell what viral strains you have been exposed to if you have been sexually active.
The vaccine is a 3 shot series costing about $135.00 per dose and $405.00 for the full series. Most side effects are rare and most of the time includes a sore arm muscle. The length of time the immunity will last is unknown. There may be a booster that needs to be instituted 5 years later, but that is yet to be determined. Once getting the vaccine, it does not exclude females from regular annual cervical pap screening. The new guidelines state this screening exam should occur by age 21, or within 3 years of first intercourse.
To vaccinate, or not to vaccinate, that is the question. Go to http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/STDFact-HPV-Vaccine.htm for more information.

Its "big bowl" shape also allows you to swirl the tea around inside for thorough steeping. (This is done by moving the kyusu in a circular motion but requires practice and care if you don't want to end up reading the wet tea leaves all over your table.)
I'll post a photo of brewing tea with the Chamiiru soon. Stay tuned!
