Dealing with Patents in Software Licenses
Many members of the Open Source community oppose software patents. Software patents, they say, hinder the advancement of software art, and as such, counter the beneficial effects of open and published source code. The risk of infringing a copyright is much less than the risk of infringing a patent. You can avoid infringing a copyright by employing good clean-room practices and writing your own independent version of copyrighted software. On the other hand, a software patent can stop you from making, using or selling the patented invention, even if you didn't copy the inventor's software. This means that you may not be able to avoid infringing a patent no matter how careful you are. Someone you never even heard of can inform you that he or she has a patent and, if you cannot invent around that patented invention, your open-source project may be stopped dead in its tracks.
Like them or not, however, software patents are a reality. Software patents have been blessed repeatedly by Congress and the courts, and by the laws of many other countries. Given this reality, it is important to understand the implications of patents for software licenses so that you can select a license that meets your philosophy and goals.
Consider, from the viewpoint of a licensee of open-source software, three kinds of patents: 1) patents owned by the software licensor, 2) patents owned by third parties and 3) patents owned by the licensee or by the licensee's downstream sublicensees.
Licensor patents: suppose you took a license for some open-source software and then discovered that the licensor has a patent on that software that was not included in the license grant. Without a license to that patent, you could not make, use or sell the software. Whenever I review a software license for a licensee, I make sure there is an express grant "under claims of patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by licensor, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or otherwise dispose of licensed software or portions thereof." Many open-source licenses, including the BSD license, contain no such provision. In those cases, a patent license may be implied, but I don't recommend relying on an implied license. Wherever possible, make sure you have an explicit license to any necessary patents held by the licensor.
Third-party patents: a software licensor may not be aware of all patents that apply to its software. Some third party suddenly may announce that it owns a patent that covers some aspects of the software. As a licensee of infringing software, you may have to stop using the software despite the license. To deal with this situation, proprietary-software licenses often include an indemnity clause, by which the software licensor indemnifies its licensees against third-party patent claims, promising to refund license fees, provide non-infringing versions of the software or obtain licenses to third-party patents, if third-party patents come to light. But open-source licenses usually don't contain indemnity clauses because licensors of open-source software usually do not collect license fees sufficient to cover the potential costs of the indemnification. So, for most open-source software, the license is "as is" without any warranty of non-infringement. Open-source licensees beware! The risk of third-party patents is usually borne by the licensee.
Licensee patents: the issue of licensee patents is much more subtle than with licensor and third-party patents. Licensors often include so-called "patent retaliation" clauses in their licenses to prevent licensees from using patents offensively against the licensor. Because this issue evokes strong feelings that justify careful discussion, I'm saving that topic for its own column next month.
Whatever your philosophy about software patents, it is important to understand the ways that patents can affect software licenses. It is not enough just to say "I don't like software patents." Whether you out-license your software to others, or you in-license other's software for your own use, you should make sure that the license fairly expresses your own philosophy and goals relating to patents.

Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

NEW YORK (AP) — Your financial adviser might be acting like a doctor who prescribes certain medicine only because he's on a drug company's payroll and then neglects to tell you about it.
Not all brokers who sell stocks, bonds, annuities and other investments are required to put their clients' interests first. They can steer you into mutual funds or college savings plans that pad their firms' profits or their own commissions, and you might never know.
Congress has a chance to fix this conflicted system as part of the sweeping financial regulation bill now being reconciled between the House and the Senate. That is, if lawmakers don't buckle under pressure from brokers and their lobbyists.
"Congress is being pushed so hard by brokers not to change the rules. That should tell us exactly why they need to be changed," says Tamar Frankel, a law professor at Boston University who is an expert on fiduciary responsibilities that professionals have to their clients.
More than ever, Americans need financial advice to direct them through all the options for retirement, college savings and more. Lots of people like to say they provide investment advice, but not everyone has to disclose conflicts of interest.
Those that do have an official name. They are known as "registered investment advisers." Under the 1940 Investment Advisers Act, they are considered fiduciaries, or trustees, for their clients and are obligated to put their clients' interest first.
As fiduciaries, they must disclose fees, disciplinary actions and potential conflicts of interests, such as the amount of money they get in commissions. They also must register with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The client also must be told if the adviser, or his firm, is getting paid by a particular mutual fund company to promote a certain product.
That's an entirely different situation from brokers, who buy and sell securities and other financial products on behalf of their clients.
Brokers can give financial advice, too, but they are only required to talk about "suitable" investments based on the finances of the client, and they don't have to disclose potential conflicts.
A broker, for example, can't pitch penny stocks to a 90-year-old widow living off a pension. But the broker can steer an investor into a mutual fund or variable annuity that pays a higher commission without telling the investor. Brokers also aren't required to disclose their own investment strategies, even if they differ from what is being recommended to the client. Continued...
"They can tell you about products that could meet your needs, but it shouldn't be assumed that they are the best products for you," says Scott Smith, associate director at Cerulli Associates, a financial research firm based in Boston.
A 2008 study commissioned by the SEC concluded that investors don't understand the distinction between the standard requiring advisers to put their clients' interests first, and those who only have to meet the less stringent "suitability" test. Most investors generally believe that financial professionals are acting in their best interest, the study found.
Congress will begin putting together a final bill on financial reform next week. There are still big gaps in how the House and Senate want to handle the disclosure of conflicts of interest for brokers.
The House bill would require the SEC to issue rules giving stock and insurance brokers the duty to act in their clients' interests. But that would only happen when brokers offer "personalized investment advice" to retail customers.
There are concerns that the language in the bill is too general and open to interpretation. A broker may act in a client's best interest when telling an investor how to allocate a portfolio, but then might not disclose conflicts of interest when peddling a specific product.
"You don't want brokers taking off their fiduciary hat and then putting on their sales hat," says Knut Rostad, a registered investment adviser at the Falls Church, Va.-based firm Rembert Pendleton Jackson and chairman of The Committee for the Fiduciary Standard, a professional group.
The Senate bill only requires the SEC to study gaps in the current regulations and then issue rules, if necessary.
Not surprisingly, the insurance industry and brokers favor the Senate bill.
Sheila Owens, a spokeswoman for the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, says the SEC study from 2008 didn't go far enough in accessing the differences in oversight of investment advisers and brokers.
"We cannot support making changes that will affect consumers and the marketplace without first determining what steps are necessary to get it right," Owens said in an e-mail. Continued...
What she didn't say is that changing the rules will cost the industry more. Financial and insurance firms would have to offer clients more investment alternatives. Since fees and commissions would be disclosed, they could also lose sales if investors choose less expensive investments.
Some investors also could lose out. Brokers might choose to focus on wealthier clients, says Cerulli's Smith.
BU's Frankel is skeptical that lawmakers will enact meaningful reforms. That's why she thinks investors should seek out registered investment advisers who already have to disclose all conflicts.
"Then," Frankel says, "you don't have to worry about anyone saying 'Just trust me."'

It's been a year since a New Westminster police officer was slashed with a knife in Queen's Park and the police are still looking for the person they believe is responsible for the aggravated assault.
On the one-year anniversary of the incident, the police have released a composite drawing of the man they are looking for.
The incident occurred on July 30, 2011 when the New Westminster officer responded to a complaint of a distraught man in Queens Park. As the officer approached a picnic table, the man seated at the table lunged at the officer, slashing him with a knife.
The officer suffered facial injuries which required medical attention, but he was able to disarm the man, who was last seen running towards McBride Boulevard and East Sixth Avenue.
Police are still looking for this man, who is described as being black, 25 to 30 years old, 6-4 tall, 250 pounds, with a muscular build, brown eyes and black hair shaved on the sides with a part on the right side of head. He also was not wearing a shirt, but was wearing forest green and black camouflage cargo shorts, white socks and white Nike sneakers with a dark colour "swoosh."
Police are also looking to locate two potential witnesses who initially called in the report of the distraught man.
Anybody with information about this assault is asked to call the New Westminster Police tip line at 604-529-2430.

SOL test results mixed for Henrico students
Students exceed state averages in 19 of 33 tests
Results are in from last year's Virginia Standards of Learning tests, and the numbers for Henrico County public school students are mixed. Overall, Henrico students improved their average SOL pass rates in 14 of their 33 test subjects during 2011-12, when compared with the previous year's results, but suffered decreases in 13 other subjects. Pass rates remained the same in six subjects. Henrico students fared best in history (improving in six of the eight tests, when compared to the 2010-11 results, while remaining the same in one) and reading (improving in four of the seven tests, while remaining the same in one). But they – like other students statewide – struggled with the new mathematics tests, which last year included new, more rigorous standards adopted by the state's Board of Education in 2009. Average math pass rates in Henrico fell in eight of the nine SOL tests – including significantly in the third-grade test (a 67 percent pass rate, down from 93 percent the previous year) and eighth-grade test (a 41 percent pass rate, down from 82 percent the previous year). Sixth-grade students were the only ones to improve from their previous math results, jumping from a pass rate of 61 percent in 2010-11 to 72 percent in 2011-12. In math, Henrico students fared worse than the state average in the sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade math tests, as well as in the Algebra 1 test. Overall, the county's students exceeded the state pass rates in 19 of the 33 SOL tests (four in English, six in history, four in math and five in science) but fell short of the state averages in 12 other categories. "As school divisions align curriculum and instruction with the new standards and focus on strengthening students' problem-solving skills, I am confident that we will see higher achievement in mathematics and more graduates who are truly college and career ready," Board of Education President David M. Foster said. Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell agreed. "Raising standards was the right thing to do and in the long-term interest of Virginia students and our economy," McDonnell said. "I commend all of our teachers and students for their excellent efforts in adapting to and embracing these challenging new standards. This is a necessary step in ensuring that Virginia students are ready to excel in our globally competitive economy. It is a challenge we must meet if we're going to succeed in the economy of the decades ahead." Hanover County students outperformed their Henrico counterparts in 27 tests, while Chesterfield students scored better than Henrico students in 19 tests. SOL science results in Henrico were relatively stable, with pass rates in biology and Earth science up slightly (to 94 and 92 percent, respectively) and third-grade, fifth-grade and chemistry results remaining the same (92, 93 and 97 percent, respectively). Writing scores were up from 90 to 92 percent at the secondary school level, down from 89 to 87 percent at the eighth-grade level and stable at the fifth-grade level at 89 percent |

There seem to be a lot of issues with the mobile site. Mainly layout issues. I'd suggest switching to the full site if possible.
So... Earlier i was looking through my roleplays earlier, when my sub-box randomly decided to change format. Normally, it would display it as if it were the full website. Now everything is kind of just crammed on to the left side of the screen, and it's hard to tell if anyone's posted in a thread. A screencap will be up shortly to show the problem.

There seem to be a lot of issues with the mobile site. Mainly layout issues. I'd suggest switching to the full site if possible.
Umm... I am. I'm using the full-site layout, and it's worked perfectly for as long as I've used my phone. But now the sub- box has randomly reformatted and it kind of annoying.
Oh, weird. You said "on mobile" so I sort of assumed we were dealing with the mobile site.
But if not, then that's... really weird! My subscriptions look just fine, albeit from a PC. I'm assuming you've tried refreshing, but it just stays that way?
Hmm. I was on from a mobile last night and I don't recall any issues. I'll check again.
Edit: Yup. My subs look just fine on a mobile. Dunno what to tell ya.
Yeah, I use the full-site layout xD and nothing I've tried works ... I don't know if it does the same on a PC, but I'll be checking soon enough.
The most irritating part is that none of the roleplays highlight or move up in the list when some-one posts in them.

Yes, it load up perfectly on the PC... Urgh > ~ <

Hi everyone! I am new here, and would LOVE some advice. I am about to go on an insulin pump, and the choices seem SO OVERWHELMING. I've narrowed it down to two I like that are available in Canada where I live, the medtronic Veo and the Omnipod. both seem very different.
I'll be honest and say the tubing scares the crap out of me, I am worried that I'll feel constantly on a leash and hooked up like an iv patient.I know thats pretty much the case anyway, but I have a hard enough time running with my iphone/ipod case hooked on my pants, the headphone cord drives me nuts.
Then I think the omnipod seems a good idea, and I can stick it on my lower or stomach back so its less visable, but am worried that it will be like sleeping on a lump. I wonder if you stop feeling it after a while?
I actually dont know anyone with even t1 diabetes, and the one friend I tried to talk to told me that if I went on a pump that my husband would feel like he was hugging a hospital patient, (yes, they are a moron) so at this point I am desperate to find someone who has a pump to chat with.
I know my doctor is leaning towards the Veo because of the continuous moniter option, but I dont think I'll be buying it because of the cost and my extended health care doesnt cover it. however, my plan only covers one pump for every 5 years, so it makes the decision even more stressful knowing it could be hard or expensive to switch if I make a wrong decision.
anyway, I would love some advice if there are things i dont even know to ask. I've had one medical rep visit my house, and I am waiting on the other to visit as well.
Another OmniPod user here and loving it! I have not had any reliability issues with the pods that some speak of here. I just couldn't bear the thought of the tubing, mentally it would be a constant reminder of my D. Plus the insertion sets scared me.
I chose OmniPod after wearing a demo. I don't find the size of the pod a problem. I also wear a Dexcom cgm and the two in tandem work for me. I started first with the Dexcom and once I was comfortable with that, I went with the OmniPod. The OmniPod feels just like the Dexcom but slightly larger.
The things I like the most about the OmniPod:
Not having to clip anything to my belt or hide tubing. I slip the PDM in my purse and go. When I'm at work, I set the PDM on my desk because it also serves as my meter. This is another added plus because I don't have to carry a separate meter. I also like that the OmniPod has an automatic insertion process - you just push a button on the PDM and it inserts...feels like a little rubber band snap and you're done and good to go. Super easy.
I also like being able to wear the pod under my clothing on my stomach and my upper arms. I forget where I've put it and have to pat myself down to remember. I like the fact that a stranger looking at me would never know that I have D because there's nothing visible attached to me.
Good luck with your demos. Either way, I hope you find the pump that best suits you and helps you with your control. :)
My experience is similar. I chose the pod for the auto-insertion and could not go without it! I love the pod. It is not a pancreas, so therefore it is not perfect and sometimes it needs attention at inopportune times. But that's life with D.
I don't find the size to be an issue (I'm 5'10" and 160 lbs). I often don't remember where it is on my body. I try not to sleep on it, but often wake up having rolled onto it and have had no issues.
I am pretty good at remembering my meter, cell phone, etc. Therefore, I don't find the PDM to be an issues. However, if someone is constantly losing their phone, this may not be the best option :)
In the end, it's your decision. Both pumps have great technology and lots of loyal users. Go with your gut, it wont steer you wrong!
oh and I want to add that I don't really care if people see it an ask what it is. Therefore the "hiding it" factor didn't really apply to me. :)
One other thought on going to a pump in general and the comments your friend made (people say stupid things don't they?). I fought going to a pump for 25 years and finally gave in because I needed the ability to vary my basal rates due to aging female hormones. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself and I wish I'd done it along time ago.
I think too as I age it's easier to keep a sense of humor about my D regimen and the things I have to do to take care of myself. When I was young, I worried about the tubing and what my husband and friends would think of me being attached to all that. Now, after almost 28 years of marriage, and wearing a Dexcom and pump, he calls me the bionic woman and his bff (we make fun of todays lingo). If your hubby understands that this will help you in your diabetes care, he'll adjust to it just fine just like you will.
I gotta agree with this. My hubby is committed to helping me with my health. If only he would take his own advice sometimes!
I have just switched to the Omnipod as well and don't find it bulky or heavy at all--but I have not used a regular tubed pump. There's no way I would want to now. Yes, the pdm is something else to keep up with, but I keep it with my cell phone at all times and haven't forgotten it yet.
I think it will depend on your body type whether you like the pod or not. I don't wear tight clothes, so when I wear the pod on my stomach, it's really hidden. I love wearing it on my arms too. Even thought I sleep on my side a lot, I've gotten used to it and am subconsciously careful in my sleep.
Have had a medtronic for a long time. The pump malfunctioned once a couple of years ago so I called the toll free number and had a new one the next day.
It takes some getting used to but I can't imagine going back to injections. I tried the CGM they offer but I think that technology needs to develop a bit more.

Zoo Assures Visitors Animals Are Safe After Break-In
By: Marlisa Goldsmith
Updated: June 13, 2012
If anything was to happen to these innocent creatures, visitors and friends of the zoo would not take it very lightly.
"That's the end of the world," says Harris.
"I'd be a little shocked," Whit Gutierrez says.
Dinna Potter adds, "I hate to see harm brought to any living thing."
After someone broke into the zoo to steal from the vending machine, it raised several questions regarding how easy it would be for someone to harm the zoo's animals.
"I've been here 2 years and we have not had a situation, nor have I heard of any situations of people breaking into the zoo after hours and hurting any of the animals," says Bill Gersonde.
Zoo Director, Bill Gersonde, says breaking into a zoo is not common. What happened on Monday was a rare event.
"They were looking for one thing and that was money," says Gersonde.
The zoo was not able to go into exact detail about what they do to keep their animals secure, however they do guarantee there are measures in place to maximize the safety of the animals.
Gersonde adds, "Folks can rest assured we are doing everything we can to keep our very precious animals safe."
A statement that puts several zoo visitors at ease.
"It seems like they're pretty well kept here and I don't think they would be in danger," says Potter.

Recommended Restaurants by Groupon Customers
Cooks at Tandoori Kabab Restaurant daily light fires within their traditional clay tandoor ovens, to bake classic Indian and Pakistani dishes. They cook chicken marinated in yogurt and spices in the convection style ovens and naan bread with onion, garlic, or stuffed with potatoes.
Burgers and pints of beer are a popular pairing at Lumsden Hotel & Steak Pit. Diners can also opt for heftier entrees such as veal parmigiana or liver and onions, or just sip mixed drinks while playing pool or singing karaoke. Guests can also stay overnight in the hotel's rooms.
Fine dining means more to the staff at Mediterranean Bistro than elegant decor and artfully presented plates. The kitchen staff curates a high-quality pantry of organic AAA beef, imported seafood, and produce that changes with each season, like the colour of the world's slowest mood ring. The head chef begins meal preparation only after receiving an order, ensuring the utmost freshness of dishes such as their signature beef wellington, which envelops a cut of tenderloin in a prosciutto-stuffed puff pastry. Entrees incorporate traditional Mediterranean ingredients such as black olives, feta cheese, prosciutto, and aioli, and each plate is hand-delivered by a member of the bistro's attentive wait staff. Desserts such as the almond biscotti-crowned crème brûlée polish off meals more sweetly than an after-dinner mint that knows how to say "please."
Michi Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar's five chefs hail from Tokyo and the coastal town of Shizuoka, where they learned Japanese cooking skills using the freshest seafood. At Michi, they strive to uphold the same caliber of freshness, shipping in fish from Japan each morning to craft their menu of sushi, noodle soups, and tempura-battered delicacies.
The staff's commitment to authentic Japanese cuisine extends beyond the kitchen. Hosts present oshibori, or hot towels, to guests so they can cleanse their hands before meals, and at the eight-seat sushi bar, dining companions gather around chefs who greet them with a traditional "arigato gozaimasu." Behind Michi's translucent screen doors, or shoji, barefoot diners perch atop cushions encircling low wooden tables eating with chopsticks to enjoy a reprieve from forks, knives, and musical spoons.

Hack and / - Wii Will Rock Linux
In my August 2008 column, I wrote about how to use a Wiimote from a Nintendo Wii on a Linux system as a general-purpose wireless joystick. In that column, I covered how to bind use buttons not only on the Wiimote, but also on the Nunchuck and Classic Controller, so that you could use them with a number of different video game emulators. Well, since that column, Rock Band for the Wii was released, and with it three extra peripherals: a wireless guitar, a microphone and a drum set.
Everyone knows that only old people play real guitars, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to rock out with an entire band of plastic instruments on my Wii. I hadn't read too much beforehand about the instruments that came with Wii's Rock Band, so when I unpacked everything, I was surprised to note that all three instruments were connected to the Wii via USB. That left me with only one question, do these instruments work in Linux?
It turns out that not only do all three Rock Band instruments work in Linux, they also all work with very little extra effort. In this column, I describe how to configure Linux to see these instruments and highlight some applications you can use them with.
Probably the simplest instrument to get working with Linux was the microphone. The moment I plugged it in, I got dmesg output that identified it:
[ 188.006918] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 [ 188.132102] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 188.474088] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio
I then fired up Audacity, one of my favorite sound recording programs, to see if the microphone would work. By default, Audacity was set to my system microphone, so I clicked Edit→Preferences, and under the recording section of the Audio I/O window I chose ALSA: Logitech USB Microphone: USB Audio from the Recording Device drop-down menu. I also changed it to be a Mono device.
After I clicked OK to accept my changes, I clicked the big red Record button on the main Audacity window and started talking. I was able to see my voice in the output immediately, and once I clicked the Stop button and played it back, I definitely was able to hear myself.
Considering how easy it was to use the microphone, I wondered what Linux would make of the wireless guitar. It appeared to connect a lot like a wireless mouse or keyboard with a small USB dongle that had a connect button you could use to sync with the wireless device. When I connected the dongle, I could see in the dmesg output that my Ubuntu Hardy install had detected the device as some sort of USB Human Interface Device (HID):
[ 775.322361] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 [ 775.369009] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 775.525791] usbcore: registered new interface driver hiddev [ 775.531822] input: Licensed by Nintendo of America Harmonix Guitar Controller for Nintendo Wii as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1/1-1/ ↪1-1:1.0/input/input10 [ 775.545411] input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Gamepad [Licensed by Nintendo of America Harmonix Guitar Controller for Nintendo Wii] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1 [ 775.545444] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid [ 775.545451] /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/drivers/hid/ ↪usbhid/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver
It appeared like a new gamepad device had been installed under /dev/input/js0, so I used the useful jstest utility (packaged by a number of distributions) to test whether the buttons on the guitar generated events. To use jstest, simply execute the program with the joystick device to test as an argument (in my case, /dev/input/js0). Each time a joystick event is registered, the output in the terminal updates. The four lines shown in Figure 2 are examples of the output when I pressed and released the green and red buttons on the guitar, respectively.
If you compare the lines, you can see that the green button corresponded to button 1, and the red button corresponded to button 2. Because the guitar interfaces directly with Linux like a regular joystick device, that means I can use its buttons with any game that supports joysticks.
Of course, probably the best game for the Rock Band guitar on Linux is Frets on Fire. Frets on Fire is an open-source guitar game written in Python and packaged for a number of distributions and operating systems. By default, it is designed to be used with your regular keyboard held in your hands somewhat like a guitar. The F1–F5 keys are frets on the guitar, and the Enter key can be used to strum. That works okay, but it certainly is nicer to use a guitar intended for the purpose, and sure enough, Frets on Fire supports remapping the default keyboard keys to joystick buttons.
To configure Frets on Fire for my guitar, all I needed to do was start the game, go into Settings and then modify the key settings. I just went through each key configured for the game, selected it, and then when it asked me to press a new key to set it to, I chose the corresponding key on the guitar. After you change the keys in this method, you will notice that you can navigate the Frets on Fire game completely from your guitar. You can strum up or down to move through the menus and use the green button to make selections.

excuse me I got the rock
excuse me
I got the rock band 2 wii drums and I got the double bass attachment and a double cymbal expansion
do you think hydrogen will seperate these ass seperate sounds as the game does in the freestyle mode or will it just be interpreted as yellow and blue
also I got ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) so this maybe different...but I'm having a hard time opening jstest and joy2key

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Some time ago, we found this old piece of barn wood:
And it made our hearts sing.
The aged grey tone. The weathered and worn grain. But most of all, the realization that this piece of wood is completely one of a kind. Nowhere on this planet is there another piece of wood that's exactly like this one. Not even this other piece of barn wood we found to go with it:
Each piece is a unique thumbprint.
They're so different, but close enough in look and feel that we were inspired to make a set of nightstands for our guest bedroom.
Here's a rough mockup Bradley did on the back of a piece of MDF while working on another project:
The nightstand will be a basic white box, no back, sitting on four little legs, with one drawer set into it. The drawer will be made from the raw piece of barn wood. The rough sketch above shows a handle, but we've decided not to have hardware. Instead, we'll make a little cutout in the face so you can pull out the drawer with a finger. That will help keep the focus on the gorgeous wood face with no distracting hardware.
The juxtaposition between clean white cabinet and raw, grungy drawer face will — there's really no other way to say this — look mad hot. We love the way clean elements look when contrasted with raw elements. It's a look we're trying to carry throughout the house with our brick walls and rafters butted right up to our textureless walls and trimless windows. We think the nightstands will fit right in.
That's our plan, man. What do you think? We'll share the step-by-step instructions for DIYing a set of nightstands in a couple of weeks. We can't wait. We've been stashing all of our bedside stuff in trays on the floor…for the past year.
It's getting old fast.

Marcus Gilbert is Mr. Glass from the movie Unbreakable.
Steelers 2013 Draft
1--Jarvis Jones OLB Georgia

3--LeVeon Bell RB Michigan State
4--Jordan Poyer CB Oregon State

6---Conner Vernon WR Duke
7--Vince Williams ILB Florida State
just read that Gilbert is in a walking boot and won't play against the Bengals.
looks like the rest of the line is safe from injury this week...
This big, uncoordinated oaf has got to go and I am truly serious about this. He has devastated this team. He is not that great of a tackle either. OH well, another high draft pick wasted. But they really cannot afford to keep Gilbert around.
Remember... Gilbert is the same guy that Tomlin had penciled in at LT. Could you imagine?
Now thats an eye for talent.

Pulmonary atresia is a rare heart defect. In a normal heart, the blood flows in from the body to the right atrium. It then goes into the right ventricle. Next, the blood travels to the lungs through the pulmonary valve. Here, it picks up fresh oxygen. The blood then returns to the left atrium and goes into the left ventricle. The blood moves out to the rest of the body.
With this defect, there is no pulmonary valve in the heart. Blood cannot flow into the pulmonary artery. This is the artery that brings blood to the lungs. Other heart problems, like a small right ventricle, may also be present. This is a serious condition that requires care from a doctor.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A direct cause is not known. This defect develops while the baby is forming in the womb. The baby is born with the condition.
These factors increase the chance of pulmonary atresia in your child:
Symptoms may include:
Your child's doctor may also detect a heart murmur during the exam.
These symptoms may be due to other conditions. If your child has any of these, tell the doctor right away.
Your doctor will:
Tests may include the following:
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Some defects may be so severe that they are difficult to treat. Treatment options include:
Medicines, like Prostaglandin E1, may be given to keep a vessel that connects the pulmonary artery and the aorta open. This opening allows some blood to continue to reach the lungs. This is a temporary treatment.
Sometimes a shunt can be placed between the aorta and pulmonary artery. This is done to improve blood flow to the lungs.
Several surgeries may be considered depending on:
Open heart surgery aims to:
When the right ventricle is too small to pump blood effectively, other surgeries may be done. These can reroute blood to the lungs.
Your child will need to see a heart specialist regularly. Your child may need to take antibiotics prior to certain medical or dental procedures. This is to prevent heart infections.
There is no way to prevent this condition. Getting appropriate prenatal care is always important.

JavaScript hover fade.
I am new to JavaScript and I am not very good at programming but I want to be able to have a few lines of simple code that will generate a fading hover effect that I could put on some navigation such as the top navigation in http://dragoninteractive.com/ and in
Anything helps and I would love if you could add some comments to the code so I can actually learn what does what.
Thanks! :]
Brendan WrightUsing jQuery you can do fade in and outs super easily. I'm just learning, but it would go something like this:$(.button).each(function(){ // everything with class=\"button\"
$(this).click(function(){ // when clicked
$(this).fadeOut(); //fades out
You could have something behind it that it fades into, which when clicked or hovered or something, would fade back in the original. I am FAR from an expert on this, but thems the basics. You'll have to include jQuery as a script on your page before you call this (from within another script tag).Hi Brendan,
Here's the Mootools way. It's a bit more long winded than Chris's as jQuery has a fadeout effect all lined up for you.
Same idea different framework.
This is a quick example ( rip off! :) ) of the dragon interactive http://tobypitman.com/mootools/hover.html.
I think that's what you mean. Feel free to swipe the code. Hints are in the source code.
The menu ul has the reveal as it's background and the list 'a' tag items have the fading image.
It's a cool effect. Wish I'd thought of it!!!!
Hope it helps you out!
TobHi Tob, thank you for sharing this script! I am completely at the beginning of jQuery and mootools.
I noticed that in firefox the hover appears twice though? Any suggestions? Thank you so much in case you have time to answer this!

As an alternative to magnetic compass and the very expensive gyrocompasses, FURUNO's satellite compasses can be used as "Transmitting Heading Device" on smaller vessels.
FURUNO's satellite compasses are 'wheel marked' and are used as heading backup for radar, ECDIS and autopilot on many Deep Sea vessels.
The very precise satellitcompass finds its direction by utilizing 2-3 GPS receivers being interconnected and processing the signal in a processor unit, whereby the ship's heading is calculated down to 0.6 -1 degree accuracy.
As alternative to satellite compasses and magnetic compasses, the FURUNO rate sensor compasses, PG-500 and PG-700 are installed in several smaller vessels worldwide providing a reliable and accurate course rate.
Both types contributes to providing heading references to FURUNO's navigation solutions and even communications equipment, where position and heading is required.
PG-500/PG-700 can be used to Furuno's NavNet VX2 and 3D series, however the course update in connection with radar picture update is delayed compared with the update rate obtained from a satellite compass.
With a satellite compass you will be able achieved a precise positioning of the combined radar image and a chart plotting (radar overlay). E.g an echo from a buoy on the radar will be positioned and be maintained exactly on top of the buoy symbol in the plot, even under heavy swell, where the compass course direction on the radar picture can be difficult to keep stable.
Maintenance free "Black Box" satellite compass ensures reliable and accurate data for the connected navigational systems, such as radar, plotter, autopilot AIS, achosounder and sonar.
Heading sensor with advanced GPS-technology and 3 recievers. Heading accuracy +/-0,6 degrees in complaince with IMO MSC.116(73).
Stable heading sensor (Transmitting Heading Device) with fully integrated gyroscope. Low costs, great accuracy and stability compared to other products in its class.

Hoarding Hoarders That Hoard
There's an epidemic sweeping the nation. Hoarders.
Okay, so hoarders have been around for forever, but it's only in the last couple years that they've invaded the public eye, bringing their bags of garbage and dead cats with them. We have all different sorts of hoarding shows that are actually all the same: "Help! I'm a Hoarder", "Hoarding: Buried Alive", "I'm Pregnant and a Hoarder", and of course, "Hoarders".
Basically, all the shows go like this:
PART 1: Mr. or Mrs. Stinkytrashhouse is a Hoarder. They're about to go to jail and/or their house is about to be repossessed 'cause they stuffed their house with junk like a Thanksgiving turkey.
PART 2: Angsty Child or Friend of Stinkytrashhouse enters and talks about the anger and distress they feel because Stinkytrashhouse won't get rid of anything. They say they've tried to help Stinkytrashhouse again and again, but Stinkytrashhouse is blind to the dirty chaos consuming their home. Stinkytrashhouse prefers to bathe in garbage juice, especially since their plumbing got cut off years ago.
PART 3: A Professional Organizer and/or Therapist comes and tries to help Stinkytrashhouse sort through their humongous piles of rotting possessions. Stinkytrashhouse wants to keep everything, even that pile of cat poop, because that cat poop was really important to them at one point in their life. That cat poop saved their life or cared for them when they were young or something.
