Main Features
44 x 44 x 5 mm of Copper Plate
Contrary to heat sinks which use a copper core (copper poured inside aluminium), we use more material over the DIE where high energy flows (copper plate) and in the external areas where low energy flows, less material (only 5mm aluminium plate). Thus we achieve a better efficiency, hence better cooling performance without increasing the weight.
Tin Connection between Copper and Aluminium
The heat transfer of conventional copper cores onto aluminium is ensured by thermal compound, which transfers the warmth extremely poorly compared to metals. In contrast to this we use a super-thin tin film. This has the advantage of approx. 25-times higher heat conductivity of tin compared with the thermal compound. Disadvantages are higher manufacturing costs and appearance.
Extra Large Heatsink
The wider and longer heat sink offers despite smaller overall height (33 mm of incl. copper plate) compared to silent better results. The width of 76 mm is in range as AMD intended conform, except in the area directly beside the socket by AMD defined as "height restriction Area". This has the consequence that the heatsink will not fit on approx. 10% of all current mainboards. For these cases there is an appropriate Compatibility list.
Airflow optimized Fan Blades
The Slim Silent Pro is the first fan, which utilizes fan blades which have been optimized for airflow, thereby achieving the same air volume at a lower number of revolutions, which softens the sound development and increases service life.
Fan Mounting
The Fan has been mounted onto 4 Rubber supports to stop vibrations being transmitted to the heatsink.
Great attention has been paid to the installation procedure. Again a Philips screwdriver is needed, but owing to the screwdriver guidance and the joint both the installation was simplified significantly as well as the de-installation and is now even possible under extremely close space conditions in the PC Case.
Naturally the Slim Silent Pro utilizes all 6 hooks of the socket, which leads as with our predecessor models to a low socket strain. This measure grasps since it has never once come to a hook breakage.
Favorable Price Performance Ratio
The Slim Silent offers an excellent and affordable - noise - performance relationship.

I reported last month that Australian climate scientists have been facing death threats and cyberbullying. Sadly, the video makes clear that this now extends to visiting scientists.
Climate change has hit Australia harder than almost anywhere else, first with the decade long Big Dry and then the once-in-500-year deluges of the past year. Hell and High Water.
But many climate science deniers are so entrenched in their anti-government, anti-scientist ideology that they are simply impervious to reality. So they actually threaten the scientists who are trying to warn everybody about the looming catastrophe (see "UK Guardian slams Morano for cyber-bullying and for urging violence against climate scientists").
The Australian reports on the latest incident:

Spain 4-0 Italy
Sunday, 01 July, 2012
Spain make history beating Italy to register third consecutive tournament win.
Spain 4-0 Italy
Euro 2012
The Final
Olympic Stadium, Kiev
Sunday 1 July 2012
Spain made history as they became the first team to win three international tournaments in a row after an irresistible 4-0 win against ten-man Italy claimed Euro 2012 glory.
Goals from David Silva, Jordi Alba and substitutes Fernando Torres and Juan Mata ensured Spain defended their crown and drew level on three European Championship successes with Germany.
Spain were emphatic as they furiously peppered the Italian goal in the early exchanges. Centre-back Sergio Ramos, a commanding presence throughout the tournament, produced two efforts within the first seven minutes, setting the tone for the rest of the evening.
Barcelona playmaker Xavi came close to breaking the deadlock in the tenth minute, but his snatched shot whistled just over the crossbar after an intricate exchange with Noo Camp team-mate Cesc Fabregas.
And Spain were rewarded for the relentless incision and penetration just three minutes later. The majestic Andres Iniesta released Fabregas, who intelligently drew Gianluigi Buffon from the Italy goal before pulling back for David Silva to head into an empty net.
The goal shook a previously sluggish Italy side into life, and the enigmatic front two of Antonio Cassano and Mario Balotelli both registered efforts, although neither managed to trouble Iker Casillas.
However, Spain continued to carve out chances, and it was no surprise when Jordi Alba doubled their lead four minutes before the interval.
The fleet-footed full-back galloped through the middle, latching onto Xavi's inch-perfect through ball and coolly slotting beyond the reach of Buffon for one of the tournament's finest goals.
The introduction of Antonio Di Natale at half-time added an extra dimension to the Italian attack, but the Udinese forward failed to reduce the arrears, despite managing to successfully evade the Spanish defence.
However, the Azzurri were rocked on the hour mark when substitute Thiago Motta pulled up with a hamstring injury, leaving Italy with ten men for the remainder of the match after coach Cesare Prandelli had used all three substitutions.
And Spain's numerical advantage paid off in the closing stages, as Fernando Torres extended his side's lead with a neat side-footed effort in the 84th minute, helping to earn him the Euro 2012 Golden Boot, before exquisitely laying the ball off for Juan Mata to stroke into an empty net just four minutes later. It capped off an historic evening for La Furia Roja.
Casillas; Arbeloa, Pique, Ramos, Alba; Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Xavi; Iniesta (Mata 87), Silva (Pedro 59), Fabregas (Torres 75)

Leftists cannot relate to their domestic political opponents but invariably think they are going to make friends with foreigners whose interests are not those of America. They should try their faith in talking, negotiation, mutual good will and compromise at home, with fellow Americans, before they seek to win friends and influence leaders abroad. Foreigners, of course, lead Leftists on by telling them whatever they think they want to hear and causing them to believe that an important breakthrough is always about to happen. Domestic political opponents, on the other hand, tell them the blunt truth about their differences and disagreements, which enrages Leftists and makes them hate them more than any foreign adversary.
ALL of 0bama's policies have been a massive failure. He has printed 11 Trillion Dollars out of thin air. He has put so many regulations on small businesses that have destroyed thousands of jobs.

Less than two thirds of the Liberal Democrat Group attended the Brent Council meeting today. By the end of the meeting only five Liberal Democrat councillors were still in attendance.
Historically the Liberal Democrats have always had a liberal approach to attending meetings with the worst attendance of any of the three parties represented in the Council Chamber, especially when they are in opposition.
However, on this occasion their absence follows their crushing defeat in the Wembley Central ward by-election.
The Labour Leader of the Council, Councillor Ann M John, OBE lambasted the Liberal Democrats for their absence.
Councillor Ann John said; "Every councillor receives a basic allowance of £7,974 per annum and as a basic minimum they are expected to attend full council meetings. How can they expect to represent their constituents if they are not here?"
Brent Labour councillors Janice Long and Lincoln Beswick MBE, have tabled a motion for debate at the Council meeting on 23 January condemning the decision by Boris Johnson and his colleagues on the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) to privatise the 999 Control Room Function.
Labour says that the decision puts residents lives at risk due to lack of any risk assessment being carried out and having the service carried out by a private company whose overriding motivation is making profits for its shareholders.
Councillor Janice Long, said: "Public safety should not be sacrificed on the altar of private profit".
The Council will also vote on motions from Councillor Tayo Oladapo (Kilburn), Councillor Roxanne Mashari (Welsh Harp), Councillor Krupesh Hirani (Dudden Hill) and Councillor James Powney (Kensal Green).
Councillor Oladapo's motion condemns cuts in benefits to disabled people, which even the right wing Daily Mail has condemned as "singularly the most reprehensible attack on our vulnerable – our disabled – that this country has witnessed in many years".
Voters have always been cynical about politicians who make extravagant promises only to renege on them a few months later but never in recorded history has a party betrayed every principle it ever stood for as the Liberal Democrats have done since May 6th.
Before the election, the Lib Dems supported Labour in not wishing to cut too fast too soon for fear of a double dip recession. Now they have supported the largest cuts package in the western world. Before the election they described Tory plans to increase VAT as a 'secret VAT bombshell' but they have since voted to increase VAT to 20%. Before the election, they gave a commitment to universal child benefit but they have since supported scrapping child benefit for some middle income families but not others. For years, they promised to abolish tuition fees; indeed it was the subject of Sarah Teather's maiden speech. Now they are in favour of doubling tuition fees. In March this year, Sarah Teather berated the Tories for planning to abolish subsidised rents for Council and housing association homes; now they support new council tenancies at 80% of market rents and the abolition of security of tenure for those tenants. During the election, the Lib Dem Leader Nick Clegg described the alternative vote system (AV) as "a miserable little compromise". By September he was saying that "AV is infinitely fairer than what we have at the moment".
Brent Labour has compiled this list of Liberal Democrat broken promises, branding them the "Fib Dems":
Cleaning up politics
"Don't settle for low politics and broken promises".
(Nick Clegg in his introduction to the Lib Dem manifesto 2010)
On deficit reduction
"The speed and the extent of deficit reduction should be decided on how the economy was performing not political sound bites and dogma. The time to start cutting the budget deficit and its speed must be decided by a series of objective tests which include the rate of recovery, the level of unemployment, the availability of credit to businesses and the government's ability to borrow in international markets on good terms"
(Vince Cable, January 2010)
On VAT
"We will not have to raise VAT to deliver our promises. The Conservatives will. Let me repeat that: Our plans do not require a rise in VAT. The Tory plans do, they come with a secret VAT bombshell".
(Nick Clegg, April 2010)
Conservative Education Minister, Michael Gove, supported by his junior minister, Sarah Teather, MP for Brent Central, has withdrawn £80 million worth of funding for Brent schools under the 'Building Schools for the Future' (BSF) programme. The decision forms part of the Liberal Democrats 'savage cuts' agenda announced by Nick Clegg at last year's Lib Dem conference and being implemented by the Con Dem coalition government.
Brent has a rising school population and a shortage of school places at both primary and secondary stages. Seven of the borough's secondary schools are in very poor condition, not fit for purpose and require urgent replacement. The first phase of the BSF Funding was to cover the rebuilding and expansion of Copland Community School, Cardinal Hinsley Catholic College, Queen's Park Community School and Alperton Community School.
The government's decision means that Brent will not be able to meet the demand for new school places.
The new Labour majority, which will take charge of Brent Council following the Council's Annual General Meeting, has already taken a number of steps to improve the lives of local people.
In addition to the scrapping of the unpopular £25 charge for bulky refuse collection, Labour will:
* Cancel the sale of the Scout Hut at Oliver Goldsmith School in Fryent ward;
* Seek to cancel the sale of land at Barham Park, on which the previous administration had sought to build a block of flats;
* Bring forward plans for new youth facilities in Chalkhill;
* Bring forward an urgent report on the health and safety issues relating to the dining facility at Byron Court Primary School;
* Investigate sharing services with neighbouring councils in order to achieve the savings needed to avoid cuts in front line services;
* Ensure that low paid staff are protected during the difficult financial times which lie ahead.
The Leader of Brent Council, Councillor Ann John, said: "It is important that we deliver on the promises we made during the election campaign and we will continue to make progress as quickly as we can.
Our friend and comrade, Dai, a stalwart of his union and the Brent Labour Party over many decades, has just died. It is fitting that we remember his contribution to Brent education, society and politics.
Son of a Welsh miner, Dai began his teaching and political career soon after coming to London in the 1950s, where he joined the Communist Party. He met his Australian wife, Monica, who became his lifelong partner in the struggle for teachers' rights and socialism. Fortunately for us, the Australian government refused him entry because of his CP membership. In those 'Cold War' days, card-carrying members of the CP, were also banned from promotion to headships of schools, which energised Dai into the campaign to remove the ban.
Dai was a leading figure in the Brent Teachers Association for many years, in which role he helped to negotiate some of the best teacher/pupil ratios in the country, as well as premium terms and conditions for all teachers.
Dumpers' Charter to be scrapped promises Labour.
Labour has taken power in Brent following a landslide victory in the local elections. Labour made a staggering nineteen gains winning seats in wards like Barnhill, Northwick Park, Preston and Sudbury for the first time ever. Casualties of the Labour tide included Lib Dem Education Chief, Bob Wharton, veteran Tory councillor Irwin Van Colle and the Mayor of the borough, Jim O'Sullivan.
The new Labour group of councillors is the most representative in the history of the borough, 57.5% are of African, African-Caribbean and Asian heritage and 7.5% were born in Ireland. Councillors from the Somali and Tamil communities have been elected for the first time. Labour's councillors include representatives of all major faith groups including Christian, Hindu, Muslim and Jewish. 40% of Labour's councillors are women including, of course, the Leader of Council, Councillor Ann M John, OBE.
Local resident Mary Daly who lives in Northwick Avenue Kenton was one of the latest victims of Brent Council's rapacious parking enforcement officers when her car was clamped in a council owned car park in Wembley on Saturday 10th April. Mrs Daly arrived in the car park at 12:55, clamped at 13:03 and was forced to pay a £90.00 fine to release her car.
Mrs Daly said: "This is nothing to do with the environment but the Liberal Democrats simply want to commit highway robbery wherever they can. Motorists are the victims of a punitive and unreasonable tax".
Labour is committed to free parking for the first hour in all council owned car parks to encourage 'local shopping for local people'.
Poor lighting can lead to more street crime.
The Leader of Brent Council's Labour Opposition, Cllr Ann M John, OBE, who represents Stonebridge Ward has written to the Chief Executive and Director of Environment about the poor quality of street lighting in Stonebridge in general and Sapphire Road in particular. Cllr John has been lobbied by Hillside Housing Association, which has repeatedly contacted the Council about the poor quality of street lighting only to be told that, whilst the Council accepts that the lighting is inadequate there is no money in the budget to upgrade it.
Meanwhile, Cllr John had first-hand experience of the effects of poor street lighting when she tripped on a poorly lit and uneven pavement outside the Hillside Hub on Monday 8 March and broke her wrist. She is now unable to drive and will have her arm in a sling for at least six weeks.

Before that though, when fit he was fantastic for us most of the time. Sure you can put his excess injuries down to his lazyness at times, but he did have a bit of bad luck too (you dont get meningitis by being slouchy in training) Still, only 8 caps in 4 years, and people like Andy Sinton playing instead....

From memory, failed to get past the group stage in 1980, 1988, 1992 and 2000. Managed to get past the group stage in 2004. Didn't even qualify in 1984 and 2008. I'm off to the nearest bookie. |

Picking Terry over Rio is a strange decision if true, assuming it was a one vs the other situation.
Apparently Richards, Walker & Crouch have been left out too. This what Hodgson said yesterday also - Hodgson drops squad hint | England Football Team News, Fixtures, Results | Sky Sports |

Can sort of see Rio's omission, aging, lost pace, still prone to the eff up, but if it means Hodgson takes Captain Racist then I call bullshot. |

Microwave Ovens: To Zap or Not To Zap
To zap or not to zap
More than 90 million American kitchens have a microwave oven. You don't need one to eat healthfully or have a green kitchen. But a microwave can shave off some of your energy use, especially if you cook smaller meals or use the kitchen mostly to reheat takeout or warm frozen foods.
Top Tips
At home
- Zap small meals. If you have small to medium quantities of food, it's much more energy efficient to cook in a microwave than in a conventional or convection oven or on the stovetop. The energy and time savings decreases with larger volumes of food, however. (Keep in mind that microwaves aren't suitable for certain types of cooking, such as roasting, grilling, or baking.)
- Don't zap baby bottles. Don't use a microwave to heat milk in a baby bottle. It can heat food unevenly, so there may be dangerous "hot spots" you may not detect when checking the bottle's temperature. Plus some bottles contain a chemical known as BPA, which can be harmful to children, and is believed more likely to leach into products when used in the microwave.
- Close the door securely. Like a conventional oven, a microwave uses radiation to heat food. But conventional cooking uses "infrared" radiation, or heat, and microwaves use a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum–"microwave radiation." When exposed to microwave energy, water molecules in the food vibrate, converting the energy into the heat that cooks the food. While it's true that human exposure to intense microwave radiation can cause harm, microwave ovens are designed to contain the microwaves within the oven. They do not produce energy if the door is open. If the oven is damaged, however, radiation leakage is possible. Never use a unit that is malfunctioning or has a damaged door, latch, or seals. Keep the door and seal free from food residue, so that the door closes securely. If you suspect a problem with the oven, stop using it and contact the manufacturer.
- Don't use plastic. Packaging containers like margarine or salsa tubs should never be put in the microwave. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that plastic containers and plastic wrap labeled "microwave safe" are okay to use, but that the plastic wrap shouldn't touch the food during microwaving. On the other hand, some experts advise against using any plastic containers or plastic wrap in the microwave because chemicals could potentially migrate from the plastic into hot food. Until there's a definitive answer, the safest approach is to use a microwave-safe glass or ceramic container with a lid. If you don't have a lid, put a paper towel over the container. Read our article on Safe Water Bottles and Other Plastics to learn more on the topic.
- Nix takeout containers. Never microwave food in takeout containers. Styrofoam can melt, and paper containers often have often a greaseproof lining that can leach chemicals into the food. Microwave food in ovenproof glass or ceramic containers.
When shopping, look for
- Durability and a good warranty. Longer-lasting products cost you less in the long term and keep waste out of landfills and incinerators.
- The right size. Smaller ovens use less energy (but they also cook less food). Otherwise, there's little difference in the various products' energy stats. The government's Energy Star program doesn't rate microwaves.
Other Considerations
- Microwave ovens cost from $70 to $800. Pricier models may have larger capacity, a child lock, sensors to determine when the food is done, "speed cook" technology and browning capability that combine microwaving with other types of heating, and shortcut keys for tasks like bread defrosting and popping popcorn.
- Microwave ovens have been popular since the early 1970s, yet some people remain concerned about their safety. One common misconception is that food cooked in a microwave becomes radioactive. It does not. As to concerns about microwave leakage, oven manufacturers must comply with the FDA's regulations, which limit leakage to a level that the FDA says is far below what is known to harm people. Microwave energy drops off dramatically as you move away from the oven. The FDA says that a measurement of radiation made at 20 inches would be 1/100th of the value measured at 2 inches. Although the likelihood of exposure to even low levels of microwaves is extremely low, some people take the extra precaution of not leaning up against the microwave while waiting for the beeps to signal their dinner is ready.
…to you and your health
Microwave energy quickly penetrates deep into food, speeding up cooking time compared with a conventional oven. These ovens' ability to cook quickly in little or no water also helps food retain its vitamins and minerals. And in the summer, you may appreciate the fact that microwaves don't heat up the air in the oven, or your kitchen.
…to your wallet
Microwave ovens use much less energy than conventional ovens, so they can save you some pocket change. Let's assume you are paying 12 cents a kilowatt-hour for your electricity. If you run a medium-size (1,000-watt) microwave at high power for 15 minutes, you'd spend 3 cents. A typical electric oven run at 350 degrees for one hour would cost you 24 cents. Do that every day, and you save yourself $75 a year with the microwave. More significantly, by keeping the kitchen cool in summer, a microwave may reduce your air conditioning costs.
…to the Earth
Microwaving is an energy-efficient way to cook food, but it's not without its environmental impacts. There are about 27 pounds of steel in the average microwave oven, as well as plastic and glass. And disposing of old units adds to the waste stream.
Common Mistakes
- Microwaving popcorn. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a chemical used to make the lining of many microwave popcorn bags, may be carcinogenic. It's the same chemical used to make nonstick coatings in cookware and water-repellent fabrics. PFOA is present in the bloodstream of nine out of ten Americans. Major U.S. manufacturers have agreed to phase out their use of the chemical by 2015, but in the meantime you might be safer making your popcorn on the stove, in a pot with a little oil.
- Superheating water. Be careful when using a microwave to heat water. If it gets too hot, a phenomenon known as "super heating" can occur, in which the water shows no sign of boiling yet is beyond boiling temperature. Disturbing the container even slightly can cause scalding water to erupt. To prevent this safety hazard, check the instruction manual for information about heating times. To greatly reduce the likelihood of superheating, add sugar, tea, or other ingredients to water before heating or wait a minute before removing the container from the oven.
Getting Started
Microwaves are handy, but not essential. If you don't need one, don't buy one. And if you have an old one to get rid of, contact your city's recycling department or Earth911 for local recycling options.

/[pkg-mixmaster]/trunk/Mix/Src/mix.c |
Parent Directory | Revision Log
Links to HEAD: | (view) (download) (annotate) |
Sticky Revision: |
Entered passphrase was overwritten with SIGHUP. It's now stored to a second variable.
Previosly when we ran Mixmaster in daemon mode and injected mail either via pop3 or the MAILIN method (reading a Maildir or an mbox), Mixmaster only processed remailer-xxx requests at SENDPOOLTIME intervalls. It might be in the interest of an operator to have a high SENDPOOLTIME - like say an hour or two - to provide better security to their user. However it is also important to answer remailer-xxx requests in a timely manner. This conflict of interests can be solved by adding yet another config option: MAILINTIME. MAILINTIME specifies the amount of time between reading MAILIN and processing those mails (as well as those injected via POP3). Processing here means to answer -xxx requests and to add remailer mails to the pool. This is also done implicitly whenever Mixmaster is about to process its pool or just fetched mail via pop3.
Mixmaster in daemon mode will now reload its configuration upon receiving a SIGHUP. It was necessary to set the defaults in their own function rather than when defining the variables. It will also catch SIGTERM and SIGINT and exit in a sane way, first finishing the current action. New option --no-detach will prevent mixmaster in daemon mode from detaching from the terminal.
Fix timings. Probably only interesting for Mixmaster in daemon mode. If your computer was fast enough to do all the regular remailer stuff within one second the next time mix_regular() was called it didn't consider it time for yet another run. Now using >= rather than > for those comparisons.
List known mixmasters in remailer-conf replies. How do I get a list of the pgp keyring so I can also list type I remailers? Do we need to list type I remailers?
Enable exit hop to add footers.
Make sure to deliver to the right directory with Maildir deliveries. Since we do not chdir() to the Mixmaster base directory we need to take care of this whenever we do file or directory operations. Fortunatly the function mixfile() helps here. mixfile() was extended to handle paths starting with "~/". '~' is replaced by the HOME environment variable if defined. Implement MAILIN option: If set Mixmaster reads mails from either a mbox or a Maildir mail folder when processing its queue (-M or daemon). After reading the mail folder is emtpied. If MAILIN ends with / it is expected to be a Maildir, mbox oterhwise. I hope that I did not break anything with the change to mixfile(). Maildir drop and reading from both Maildir and mbox has been tested a little. Seems to work fine so far.
Mixmaster now defaults to not offering network services if the line "REMAIL = Y" is not present in mix.cfg.
Fix unused variable warning on OpenBSD
Make all filenames configurable in mix.cfg. Add global mix.cfg support (compile time option).
We have changed the compile-time option PASSPHRASE to be named COMPILEDPASS. We have changed the configuration file option PASS_PHRASE to be named PASSPHRASE. We have added documentation for the new configuration file option and made changes in the man page to reflect the name change. This was done to avoid confusion due to the similarity in names of the options.
Fix a strncat() to undefined string variable (Closes: #584381)
Added the ability to store the key passphrase in the mix.cfg file instead of having it compiled into the binary. This offers a number of advantages over the compiled-in method and still allows for encrypted remote storage of keys. In order to take advantage of the new changes, the Install script will need to be modified. As this is being replaced with a proper autoconf system, we're defering that until later. The changes we're committing replace PASSPHRASE with PASS_PHRASE, which is read from the config. If the compiled-in passphrase, PASSPHRASE, is set, that is used instead. (This is how Mixmaster will function if you use the Install script.)
Patches to support the Encrypt-To directive (by Disastry).
Win32 service optimization, commandline args tweaked, help updated.
Changes for WIN32 Service support. service.c is totally re-written, service.h is removed. main.c is now cleaner. TODO: better solution to the Win32/Unix directory seperation issue. Sring operations on every path is a lot of extra work. Why not fopen() ?
First round of changes adding support for Mixmaster as a service under Windows NT.

Global Innovation Index 2012 Edition | |
INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO, a specialized agency of the United Nations) co-publish The Global Innovation Index (GII) since 2012. This year in its fifth edition, the GII was previously published by INSEAD. The GII recognizes the key role of innovation as a driver of economic growth and prosperity and acknowledges the need for a broad horizontal vision of innovation that is applicable to both developed and emerging economies, with the inclusion of indicators that go beyond the traditional measures of innovation (such as the level of research and development in a given country). The GII has evolved into a valuable benchmarking tool to facilitate public-private dialogue, whereby policymakers, business leaders and other stakeholders can evaluate progress on a continual basis. The Global Innovation Index 2012 Report can be found here. The slides of the presentation of The Global Innovation Index 2012 can be found here.

IRS says woman bragged about tax fraud on Facebook
The affidavits show Wilson even had a picture of herself with a cool smile on her face, wearing an oversized jewel-encrusted pendant spelling out her first name as she held bundles of cash.
Investigating this crime is like going fishing, Crumpler said. When you first drop your line into the water, you catch what looks to be a really big fish, the biggest fish you ever saw. But then if you keep casting your line, you reel in more fish the same size and even bigger.
Court documents show that when investigators searched Wilson's Wimauma home in September, they seized at least nine computers, four wireless Internet hot spot devices, four cellphones, diamond jewelry, a handgun, a receipt for gold teeth, wigs, and designer sunglasses, bags and shoes from Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Calvin Klein, Fendi, Cartier and Christian Louboutin.
They also found evidence of tax fraud: debit cards, medical records, ledgers with personal information -- at least one ledger labeled "1st Lady" -- and stacks of money held together with rubber bands, according to the records.
Federal agents also searched three storage units linked to Larry. Inside, they found two customized Corvettes -- one was green with a Sprite logo and the other wrapped in chrome -- three laptop computers, medical records and ledgers with personal information for more than 1,600 people, records show.
So far, authorities have not said where they think the pair got all that personal information.
But the affidavits say Wilson and Larry are suspected of filing scores of fraudulent tax returns while staying at Tampa-area hotels.
The pair stayed at Chase Suites hotel at Rocky Point from April 18-25 last year, paying for their stay with a debit card that had been loaded with a fraudulent tax refund, the affidavits state. That refund was obtained through a return that had been filed from a Red Roof Inn in Tampa.
On its website, the Chase Suites hotel listed amenities including private entrances for guests, large work desks and complimentary wireless Internet access.
While Wilson and Larry were at Chase Suites, a total of 60 fraudulent returns were filed from the hotel, all reporting undistributed long-term capital gains credits of $9,987 and a taxpayer occupation of cook or sales. All but one listed a Dallas address. All of these factors are common to fraudulent returns linked to Wilson.
Hotel housekeeping staff members told investigators they remembered the two guests who didn't let housekeepers into the room their entire stay. Larry would open the door slightly so the staff could hand him extra towels. The hotel manager remembered Wilson wearing the "Rashia" medallion.
A total of 61 fraudulent returns were filed from the Red Roof Inn between March 31 and May 8. All of them reported either undistributed long-term capital gains credits of $9,987 or refundable Hope education credits of $1,000.
Also, 48 of the returns listed a Dallas address, with the remaining listing Tampa-area addresses. Fifty-three of the returns listed cook or sales as the taxpayer's occupation.
It's not clear how much of a role these particular credits played in Tampa's tax-refund fraud epidemic. But officials say refundable tax credits have long been vulnerable to abuse.
In early 2011, according to the affidavits, an informant said Wilson boasted about being the premier "drop girl," a term adopted by women involved in the tax-refund fraud scheme. Another informant told detectives that Wilson offered instruction in how to file tax forms to defeat the IRS filtering systems.
Among their tools were fictitious tax credits.
A nonrefundable tax credit can reduce the amount of taxes owed to zero. A refundable tax credit -- such as the earned income credit for working people with low to moderate income -- can reduce tax liability then generate a payment from the government for any remaining credit amount.
For example, if a filer had to pay $500 in income taxes after all deductions are considered, a nonrefundable credit of $2,000 could reduce the taxes owed to zero. A refundable $2,000 credit would result in the government also sending the filer the $1,500 balance.
This makes refundable credits appealing to crooks.
"Without proper controls, billions of taxpayer dollars are vulnerable to erroneous claims and fraudulent tax schemes," the inspector general for the IRS wrote in an October report, which led the IRS to announce it was tightening controls over the credits.

This is a review I've written for TripAdvisor, but it takes a couple of days to get a review approved on there. In case it isn't for some reason, I decided to share it here too.
No work and all decay makes this a dull choice
I recently spent a couple of nights at the Swallow Hotel in Gateshead as part of a stag weekend. From Friday to Sunday I was witness to degradation, filth and shame… and the stag weekend was pretty dodgy too.
Upon arrival at the hotel we were checked in by an elderly lady who, while kind, was clearly jaded after years of stag groups passing through her reception area and acting like raucous ne'er-do-wells. After she gingerly handed me my room key (room 602, if you're asking), I embarked on my Swallow adventure, starting with the dodgiest elevators in England.
The Swallow has two lifts, with buttons that give you an electric shock when you press them. One has doors that open so slowly it feels like the scene where the aliens emerge from their ship in Close Encounters Of The Third Kind every time you get out. The other whips the doors open with gusto, but feels like a yacht in a storm as it moves between floors, leading to a constant fear that it'll break down, trapping you in the Swallow's aging shaft for eternity.
Once I got to my room the Swallow's "quirks" continued to introduce themselves. The large CRT television was missing the remote control (assuming it had one). "No problem," I decided, "I'll just control it using the buttons on the TV itself. Unfortunately, the buttons had been removed, leaving just holes where they should have been. Read more »

What is PHP?
A general purpose server side scripting language, PHP is one of the first developed server-side scripting languages which can be embedded into an HTML source document without calling an external file to process data. It is one of the most popular scripting languages on the web page that is used for the enhancement of the web pages.
It is called a server side language because instead of getting executed on your computer it gets executed on the computer from which the page is requested. The most commonly accepted explanation of PHP is "Hypertext Pre-processor." Another school of thought believes that the acronym PHP stands for Personal Home Page Tools.
It is open source software and is free to download and use. One of the major reasons why PHP is used is recommended for use is that it runs on different platforms. Apart from being easy to learn, it also runs efficiently on almost all the servers. It is compatible with most of the popular servers being used today. It is able to add functionality to the website. HTML alone can't do this.
PHP can perform calculations. It can do all forms of calculations from identifying the day and date of the day to performing all mathematical equations. It can collect information from the user that is it allows direct interaction of the server with the user. PHP can interact with MySQL database. PHP in conjunction with GD library can also be used to create images.
It is robust and scalable for business use. The availability of ample online information regarding PHP also makes it highly beneficial for the people. It is flexible and loosely typed. It is faster and stable to use. It is very simple to learn. People without any background in programming languages can also work on PHP without much difficulty. It is also a secured system. It offers multiple levels of security and prevents undesired attacks.
PHP has a huge community. You can actually share what others have developed and others can share what you have developed. PHP is thus a must to know if you are planning to have a career in computers. A little guidance about how PHP works can help you succeed in this field.
EduKart.com has compiled all the essential knowledge in a certificate course in PHP. This course will make abreast with this language and provide you with the right skill sets.

Nuclear Seasons
Charli XCX
The nom de pop of Charlotte Aitchison, Charli XCX mixes influences and inspirations as diverse as the Spice Girls, Kate Bush, Lil Wayne, Quentin Tarantino, and Twin Peaks into moody-yet-catchy synth pop described by some as "neon goth." She began making music at an early age while growing up in Hertfordshire, England, and released a pair of singles, 2008's "Emelline/Art Bitch" and "!Franchesckaar!," while still in her teens. She also recorded her first album that year, which she sold at concerts although it never saw an official release. Three years later she returned with a slew of new material, including the singles "Stay Away" and "Nuclear Seasons"; the mixtapes Super Girls, Super Love and I Like Boys Who Cry, which respectively gathered the female and male artists who shaped her music, and cameos on Starkey's "Lost in Space" and Alex Metric's "End of the World." Her first original mixtape, Heartbreaks and Earthquakes, arrived in May 2012 and was followed by her U.S. debut EP, You're the One, and another mixtape, Super Ultra. She scored another hit that year with the Icona Pop single "I Love It," on which she appeared and co-wrote. Early in 2013, the single "You (Ha Ha Ha)" arrived shortly before Charli XCX's full-length debut True Romance dropped that April. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

Hello to all you morsbaggers,
I don't know if I'm exceptionally thick, or just plain stupid. I joined last week and have made a bag or two but trying to find out where to get labels is beyond me.
The computer "says go to pods and log in" which I try to do but when I try to register with a pod(I think) it tells me that that user name is already in use. As my user name is quite unusual I suppose that I must already have registered, but I'm blowed if I can remember doing it.
My computer is a bit unforgiving and shuts down when it's had enough of my foolishness.
I would be so grateful for some advice about how to get labels.
My apologies if I've asked in the wrong place

Nighttime Is My Time
"The definition of an owl had always pleased him: a night bird of prey...sharp talons and soft plumage which permits noiseless flight...applied figuratively to a person of nocturnal habits. 'I am The Owl,' he would whisper to himself after he had selected his prey, 'and nighttime is my time.'"
Jean Sheridan, a college dean and prominent historian, sets out to her hometown to attend the twenty-year reunion of Stonecroft Academy alumni, where she is to be honored along with six other members of her class. There is something uneasy in the air: one woman in the group about to be feted, Alison Kendall, a beautiful, high-powered Hollywood agent, drowned in her pool during an early-morning swim. Alison is the fifth woman in the class whose life has come to a sudden, mysterious end.
Adding to Jean's sense of unease is a taunting, anonymous fax she received, referring to her daughter -- a child she had given up for adoption twenty years ago.
At the award dinner, Jean is introduced to Sam Deegan, a detective obsessed by the unsolved murder of a young woman who may hold the key to the identity of the Stonecroft killer. Jean does not suspect that among the distinguished people she is greeting is The Owl, a murderer nearing the countdown on his mission of vengeance against the Stonecroft women who had mocked and humiliated him, with Jean as his final victim.

Chapter One
It was the third time in a month he had come to Los Angeles to observe her daily activities. "I know your comings and goings," he whispered as he waited in the pool house. It was one minute of seven. The morning sun was filtering through the trees, causing the waterfall that spilled into the pool to sparkle and shimmer.
He wondered if Alison could sense that she had only one minute more of life on earth. Did she have an uneasy feeling, perhaps a subconscious urge to skip her swim this morning? Even if she did, it wouldn't do her any good. It was too late.
The sliding glass door opened, and she...

Need a corner computer desk
Hey all,I'm looking for a corner computer desk. Hopefully priced under $200, so looking for an exceptional deal if I can find one This would be holding up to 3 monitors + 1 laptop for work so i need one as big as i can get really. not really sure if there are any sites online to shop for these types of desks thanks for any help! |
You probably checked, but do you have a corner in your house that can take a corner desk? I have like 3 corners in my entire house that are appropriate for a corner desk. They usually stick out too far and into the window frame.
E finita la cuccagna
Politics may not be the oldest profession but the results are the same. |
I bought one years ago that was a special order from the furniture area of Office Max. Measures around 4 ft in x and y direction respectively along each corner wall. This was at least 15 years ago now so no idea if OM even does special orders any more. I can fit 2 19" monitors in line across the diagonal where one sits. Doubt you would get it for $200.

Schools should work with the Local Authority to provide appropriate support for the pupil and also after the baby is born. This should be aimed at keeping the pupil in education wherever possible, and to return to full-time education as soon as possible after the birth of the child, with appropriate childcare support. Pregnancy is not a justifiable reason for exclusion from school and health and safety should not be used as a reason to prevent a pregnant pupil from attending school.
No more than 18 calendar weeks authorised absence is allowed to cover the period immediately before and after the birth of the child. Absence for the ante-natal classes, and if the baby is ill, should be classed as 'authorised'.
The education of school aged pupils is normally supported through the school, but if alternative education is considered more appropriate then a young person can be referred to the Schools Department.

I mean, it is a pretty sweet cape. And it is quite swirly in this particular shot. But I'm not sure that Batman is famous for his cape.
I think he's a little more famous for beating the crap out of dangerous psychotics on the streets of Gotham.
But maybe that's just me.
(And what is going on with that background? Batman's foot is under it and it kind of looks like a backdrop that is tearing? Is Bruce actually just about to fall flat on his face but he's just keeping his, "I'm Batman" face on instead of his, "Oh Christ, this is going to hurt" face?)
Well no shit the giant's eyed you, Robin. You're climbing up the bridge of his nose. With grappling ropes.
I don't know what circumstances led you guys to this being the most effective way to solve whatever mystery you're trying to solve, but I'm pretty sure that the best way to avoid being detected by a giant would be to not scale his face like it was Mount Rushmore.
Well, Robin, I hate to break it to you, but that is inevitably what Batman will expect from you.
Because he always expects too much from you.
On the bright side, every Robin to serve after you will be held up to some idyllic standard based on what Bruce thinks he remembers about you?
But that's not really going to help you now.
Dick! Stop reinforcing Bruce's crazy. You know how hard Alfred works to get Bruce to try to be Bruce a little more often.
Telling him that he's really Batman is good for no one. Probably not even Gotham!
The last time we had a Bat Family twofer definition was pretty memorable. Does Batgirl and Batman's engine/engineer live up to Robin and Batman's basket/basketball?
Wait wait wait. "Engineers like him"? Why does Barbara need to watch out for Batman? I don't understand. And why is Babs all about jumping on engines? That is just another confusing part.
But let's not forget the most confusing part:
Why is that Batman HUGE. Or is he just stuck in a tiny train? We'll never know! Just like we'll never know where the hell those train tracks are! Because that is a derailed train if I ever saw one.
So ends another page of The Super Dictionary. The most ridiculous yet? I can't quite be sure.
Tune in next time for more shenanigans from your favorite heroes! What's up next? Will we ever see the "bad things" Lex does to Superman? Will we ever find out why Batgirl is invading this train or why Batman is driving it? Probably not!
Check out under the cut for today's full page!
Joker, you look like their kindly old uncle waiting to play a prank rather than the hideous, terrifying mass-murderer that you are.
What's up with that?
Also, if you've been there since sometime last night, Batman and Robin have probably been looking for you, and they probably know you're behind that…log. Batman's totally just going over the plan to ambush you, Joker.
I know you just want to impress Batman, Robin, but there are probably better ways to get his attention than crashing the Batmobile.
And Batman, how could you overlook something so simple as the fact that Robin can't actually drive. Because now you're not getting your quiet drive. You're getting a busted Batmobile.
(Look at that thing. I mean, Robin probably dented the bumper running it off that bridge, but how is it curved like that? And what are you guys doing? Preparing to eject?)
She just knocked out Supergirl.
I'm really surprised that Hippolyta let Diana have dolls of men.
I'm more surprised that she somehow has dolls of people who aren't even heroes yet.
I'm most surprised that the Atom isn't featured in this collection of dolls. After all, he's been doll sized twice now!
Hmm…maybe The Super Dictionary should have specified that a "doll" is a toy that resembles a human. Because just calling it a "toy" puts it in the running to be a synonym for a toy truck. And that's awkward.
(Supergirl Costume Tally: 8! Finally! But only because of what must be a coloring error because otherwise, Supergirl, when did you think spray-tanning your legs would be a good idea. Oh, and her shirt sleeves are shorter and she seems to be missing the deep V-neck of her 1970s costume.)
What was a dirty trick, Batman? Did Selina lure you in with a promise of a kiss and then fling dirt in your face like a tramp in the schoolyard?
Because that's what it looks like.
And you should know better.
(Also, Selina apparently has quite the arm, flinging that much dirt so hard that she knocked Bruce over.)
Batman's not going to be happy about that, Robin.
I hope you're walking that bike home. Clearly you can't be trusted with it. I mean, it doesn't even have any mirrors. Unless you knocked them off getting that dent.
I'm very disappointed in you, young man.

Yes, the fact that there are two methods (outside of "gathered" or "mined" resources) to restrict unit quantity (energy AND ship caps) is kind of odd by RTS standards. Most RTSs only have one such method. However, it also introduce a new consideration (and thus, new ways for strategy to vary) that most other RTSs don't have.
The game was designed from the ground up around the grand strategy concept of having to decide where to allocate your available units across your offensive and defensive fronts. That's one of the reasons I love the game. It would be far too easy, and grindy, if there were no ship caps. It might be amusing to play that way once or twice, but then again thats what the cheats are for in the first place. =)
If you want a game that is meant to be played that way, I suggest Total Annihilation. That classic game also has an economy based around resource inflows and outflows similar to AI war, but with no caps on anything. The units are also appropriately balanced around that type of gameplay, and there are a ton of fun mods for it too. =)

Colonel Sato was waiting in his Knightmare frame outside the World's Requiem, watching the ceremony take place on his combat monitor. He was chief of security for the event, and it was his battle group's job to ensure that nothing terrible happened to anybody present, Britannian or otherwise. Empress Nunnally had done a significantly well job of reshaping the form of the Britannian Empire, as her father and brother had both been tyrannical dictators. Nunnally, while still an absolute ruler, was much less harsh on those she ruled. She had returned Japan to a sovereign nation, and to Colonel Takeru Sato of the Black Knights, that made her the best Imperial ruler he'd ever seen.
Sato forced his Knightmare frame to an alert position, calling out to his comrades as the King Arthur appeared. "Everybody, prepare to get in there and fight! We-" He stopped short as the Knightmare claimed to be Zero, his combat monitor changing to focus on the King Arthur, and the newly arrived Bastion. He watched in terror as Zero claimed to posses the powers of Fleija. He'd witnessed its use first hand, and was horrified that his leader would stoop so low and use such a vile weapon. Until he did, and the Bastion stood intact, only the Knightmare frame it had subdued being destroyed. It was...amazing. This truly was Zero, the same Zero he'd served for a decade.
As Kallen screamed at Zero, decrying him as a fake, Sato curled his fist in anger, his Knightmare doing the same. If this wasn't Zero, who was it? Lelouch had been killed in front of their very eyes, and he was perhaps the only other person capable of such genius, aside from his brother Schneizel, who had created the Damocles. However, Schneizel was clearly not Zero, as the two had been seen together on hundreds of occasions. Bringing up his communications, he called to Kallen. "Commander Kouzuki, there's no way that isn't Zero! He's the only one with the knowledge to do this sort of thing! He got past all of our defenses without a hitch, and that Knightmare....who else could it be?!"
Just then, the King Arthur flew overhead, and Sato turned to look at it. It was a marvelous piece of art. His mini-Fleija cannon was proof enough for the Colonel. This was Zero. The man who had brought about the liberation of Japan. "Commander...we have to listen to him. We're the Black Knights. We were made specifically to serve Zero. We have to follow him."
