Seventeen months after giving up a first and a second-round pick for Carson Palmer, the Raiders are close to trading him to the Arizona Cardinals for a fifth-round pick, according to league sources.
This after Oakland acquired quarterback Matt Flynn from the Seattle Seahawks for two draft picks Monday morning – giving up a fifth-round pick in the 2014 draft and a conditional pick in 2015.
Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie had been trying to get Palmer to take a paycut from his $13 million salary next season, but Palmer refused and McKenzie traded for his replacement.
The Seahawks signed the 27-year-old Flynn as a free agent last offseason from Green Bay before drafting Russell Wilson, who won the starting role in the preseason and led the team to a wild-card playoff win against the Washington Redskins. Flynn has made only two career starts and threw only nine passes last season.
Flynn's contract has him scheduled to make $5.25 million in base salary this season.
The Raiders have had 15 different starting QBs from 2003-12, tied with the Browns and Dolphins for most in the NFL.
"I've known Matt Flynn since 2007 and scouted him before and after he entered the NFL," McKenzie said in a statement on the team's website. "Matt is a tough football player, and a talented quarterback. He will get the opportunity to compete to be a starter with the Raiders. I believe Matt has that potential, but I also know he hasn't had enough experience."
McKenzie was the Packers' director of football operations before he was hired as the Raiders' general manager last year.
"We're going to let him compete and battle, and see what happens," McKenzie said. "We know Raider Nation wants a team that can compete for the playoffs year-in and year-out and we're putting in the necessary work right now to make that happen. This is one of the many decisions in that process."
In Oakland, Flynn will be competing for the starting quarterback job with Terrelle Pryor, who McKenzie has said will get a chance to earn the job. But obviously if the Raiders thought Pryor was ready to be a starting quarterback, they don't make this trade.
The 33-year-old Palmer passed for 4,018 yards with 22 touchdowns and 14 interceptions last season for the Raiders, who acquired the quarterback from the Cincinnati Bengals during the 2011 season for a 2012 first-round draft pick and a second-round selection in the 2013 draft.
Then-Raiders coach Hue Jackson, who orchestrated the trade in the wake of owner Al Davis' death, called it "the greatest trade in football."
Jackson and Oakland were fighting for a playoff spot then, but went 1-4 down the stretch to finish 8-8 for the second straight season. Jackson was fired, McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen came in and, after an ill-advised change to the Raiders' offensive scheme, Oakland finished 4-12 last year. The Raiders are scrapping the zone-blocking scheme this season.

Ubuntu Hardy - mod_wsgi Installation
Following from the django install article, we now look at one way of serving our application.
mod_wsgi is a simple to use (and setup) tool for serving python based web applications from Apache. It also has the added benefit of being the recommended way to get Django into production.
This article will walk you through installing and setting up mod_wsgi with Apache.
Since we're focusing on Apache with mod_wsgi, we'll need to have apache installed. You can follow this article specifically for detailed instructions or you can simply use the following command to install the necessary Apache componenets:
sudo aptitude install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libexpat1 ssl-cert
Note that if you follow the article you can safely skip the entire PHP section and simply use the Apache section unless you actually have a need to install PHP5. If you didn't follow the article and just used the command above now might be a good time to visit your slice IP in your browser and ensure you get the default "It works!" page from apache.
If you do not get the "It works!" page, apache may not have installed correctly, you may have an existing apache install, or iptables may be blocking port 80. Check all of those things before continuing as you will need a working and accessible install of apache to continue much further.
mod_wsgi Installation
Installing from aptitude
Installing mod_wsgi from aptitude is actually pretty simple:
sudo aptitude install libapache2-mod-wsgi
That is seriously all there is to it! You will want to give apache a restart (mod_wsgi won't be enabled until you do).
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
The problem is that, as of this writing, the version that is available in Ubuntu Hardy is pretty far out of date. The current version is 2.5 and aptitude shows that 1.3 is the newest version available. As such I will show you how to build from source as well.
Building and installing mod_wsgi from source
First we obviously need to get and unpack the latest code (keep in mind this could change so always check the mod_wsgi site for the latest version available):
cd ~/sources
wget http://modwsgi.googlecode.com/files/mod_wsgi-2.5.tar.gz
tar xvfz mod_wsgi-2.5.tar.gz
Before configuring and building the code we'll need to grab two packages from aptitude:
sudo aptitude install python-dev apache2-prefork-dev
Keep in mind that you'll want apache2-threaded-dev instead of apache2-prefork-dev if you're using the worker MPM rather than using the prefork MPM with Apache (prefork is the default).
Next thing we need to do is configure, build and install:
cd mod_wsgi-2.5
sudo make install
The configure and make should actually go fairly quickly, probably not even enough time between the two actions to grab a cup of coffee.
The next thing to do would be to load the module. To make it just like the rest of the default apache modules you can do this:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/mod-wsgi.load
Then add the following line to the file and save it:
LoadModule wsgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so
While this step is not entirely necessary it allows us to control mod_wsgi with the a2enmod and a2dismod commands just like the other built-in Apache modules.
sudo a2enmod mod-wsgi
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
In the next article we'll look at deploying a Django appliaction with mod_wsgi

Article Comments:
Thank you, It's work :)
Thanks! I'd love to be notified when the followup article is posted, but I guess I'll just have to keep checking back.
This is great! Thanks! Really looking forward to the next article.
Is there somewhere where those of us who count on such nice step-by-step instructions could find some more guidance? I have a lot more experience with php and php-based apps, so I literally have no idea what the next step is/should be for installation or running this...
After 7 days and lot of garbage this is first complete and working tutorial for mod_wsgi on Ubuntu (9.10 for me).
Thank's a lot
@Alanna - look at this tutorial http://webpy.org/cookbook/mod_wsgi-apache
Just wondering why you would want to do this according to your tut?
sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/mod-wsgi.load
when this already exists:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/wsgi.load
Just curious? Otherwise great article! :)
The answer to Dave's question (immediately above) is that the wsgi source tarball doesn't automatically create /etc/apache2/mods-available/wsgi.load. Most likely his system had that file left over from the wsgi debian package. You can verify this with:
aptitude search ~i | grep wsgi
So where are the apache config samples?!
I've done as described above, still, my browsers either download my .py document, or simply display the sourcecode in the browser. Any help with that?
I've tried adding to ../sites-available/default the lines:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AddHandler wsgi-script .wsgi
still no luck

Being a cloth diapering mama does leave room for much else in the diaper bag. Sacrifices must be made. Like, for example, a nursing cover. Now, I normally don't worry about covering up, but sometimes it's nice to have the option. This typically means haphazardly draping one of Quincy's bamboo Aden + Anais blankets over my shoulder, and keeping her from pulling off while she nurses.
Then I discovered the LatchOn from The Button Barn. The LatchOn helps end the over cluttered diaper bag by turning virtually ANY blanket into a nursing cover. So the same blanket you drape over your baby in her carseat also acts as a privacy screen while she nurses.
latchOn® is made from stylish, high quality fabrics, unique, sterling silver-plated flower
clips grip tightly without damaging the blanket.
Whether you are a nursing mom or need a little extra something for a baby shower gift, be sure to check out the LatchOn at http://www.thebuttonbarn.com/. Enter the code "button15barn" and save 15% off your entire purchase.

But, I agree with you, you can't "lose" $2.3 trillion, you'd know where you spent it right? Even though the inspector general couldn't find it... that's pretty much the point here. Illegal funding, not appropriated by Congress, equal to at least the legally authorized defense budget.
Did you remember this story?
I don't think very many Americans do remember it...

The newly-created women's units of the Council of Young Israel will attend the annual convention of that organization at Atlantic City on June 22, it was announced here yesterday. It had been erroneously announced that this convention would mark the first time that women were allowed to participate. The Council of Young Israel, however, states that women have always taken an equal part with men in the Young Israel Organization and council.
A statement from, the office of the council explained the misapprehension arose from the fact that "at the last mid-winter conference in Jersey City the Council of Young Israel decided for reasons of expediency to organize separate units of women at the different Young Israel organizations"

Ryan Jones has challenged Wales' young guns to prove they can deal with the first major blip of their international careers and bounce back in style against Samoa at the Millennium Stadium tonight.
Wales' record-breaking captain believes last weekend's horror show against Argentina was unchartered territory for the new crop of stars who have already won a Grand Slam and reached the World Cup semi-finals under Warren Gatland.
Jones argues coping with the type of adversity endured against the Pumas is part and parcel of the roller-coaster ride that is Welsh rugby.
The best players, he points out, come through the testing times like that with flying colours ... and Jones is adamant the team he leads into battle tonight will wow the nation again.
Gallery: Wales v Samoa: Five key duels - Click 'Show Caption' to read through our verdict
The Ospreys back-row star, who leads Wales for a record 29th time, admits some harsh words were spoken in training as the coaches and players held a full and frank debrief into what went wrong last weekend.
But he stresses the way the youngsters have responded to the 26-12 Argentina setback in the last few days this week augurs well for what is in store this time around at the Millennium Stadium.
"There are young players in this squad with well over 20 caps to their name already, but they have come in an 18-month period when everything has been flying for Welsh rugby," said Jones. "But that's not a true reflection of international sport. You judge a man by how he reacts to adversity. That's what my dad always told me.
"These players are going to go on to wonderful careers and lots more fantastic highs with Wales. But you have to learn to cope with and deal with these setbacks.
"Coming out the other side of this makes you a better player and a better person and that's what I've been impressed with this week.
"The players turned up on Monday morning, took it on the chin, have worked hard in training this week ... and the reward would be a big performance and a good result against Samoa.
"There was a fair bit of criticism levelled at some of them, but that's part and parcel of professional sport.
"Argentina was a disappointment that these players have to put to one side. Samoa tonight is an opportunity for those in possession of the jersey to make amends.
"You don't become a bad player overnight. It was just a blip. A lot of these players are going to go into Welsh rugby folklore."
Welsh coach Rob Howley pledged to put a smile back on the face of a nation, saying: "We are under pressure and we will come out fighting.
"There has been a lot of straight-talking between the coaches and players.
"We are always disappointed when the expectations of your performance fall below the level you expect, which is what happened last weekend.
"But I am sure you will see a performance from us against Samoa that every supporter in Wales will be proud of."
Asked about the changes he has made, which include Justin Tipuric, Dan Biggar and Paul James coming in for Sam Warburton, Rhys Priestland and Gethin Jenkins, Howley said: "There are a lot of factors behind these changes.
"A six-day turnaround, a desire to look at players who have been in form at their regions and see if they can transfer that form from the regional stage on to the international stage.
"Samoa are going to be a tough physical challenge. If you look at our fixtures over the four weeks, I think a commonsense approach is needed.
"We are never able to pick the identical XV, and if you look back over the last three or four years, whether it has been Samoa, Fiji or the Canada game, we've made changes for this Friday night fixture.
"We have stuck to our guns. We have kept on talking about our strength in depth in the squad, and it gives a great opportunity for the likes of James, Tipuric, Biggar and Ashley Beck.
"Sam Warburton has been a special player and he is still a special player. He is still captain.
"Ryan Jones has been a special player, and it is a great accolade for him to lead the team into this game.
"He never fails to deliver. His form for the Ospreys and Wales over the last 18 months has been exceptional."

The main difference is that seed compost doesn't contain much nutrient which can be bad for young seedlings. Having said that I have used sieved MP compost mixed with sharp sand for donkeys years and have had no problems at all growing from seed.
29 Dec 2013 15:53
I always use seed compost, it is much finer than multipurpose and lets the seeds start off somewhere nice and easy for them. i then pot on into multipurpose when they have grown a bit. I don't think its a gimmick.
29 Dec 2013 15:57
I agree, not a gimmick. I usually do a mix of seed compost, very fine grit (aquarium shop) and a bit of multipurpose.
Then some less fine gravel on top of the seeds

29 Dec 2013 16:14
John Innes isn't a make it's a type of compost. Several people make it, some badly I'm sure.
I find it a bit stiff and have broken roots when pricking out, which is why I do the mix.
31 Dec 2013 13:49
I agree with bobthegardener sieved MP with sharps sand or pearlite is just as good as and cheaper and so far have given great results
31 Dec 2013 15:52
Not sure if it's allowed to mention another magazine, but Which? Gardening have just done a review which shows huge differences between brands. Very interesting - some just aren't worth buying.

Doesn't surprise me
on a positive note Lincolnshire County a Council have a scheme , that when you take garden waste to the tip , they stamp a card and after 5 stamps you get a free bag of compost and I have found it excellent . wondered if other councils do the same ?
31 Dec 2013 16:38
The problem with council compost is that you can't tell whether it contains clippings from lawns treated with weedkiller or similar. I'm sure a lot of people put them into their brown bins.
I've also had reports that some contains weed seeds.
31 Dec 2013 17:59
31 Dec 2013 21:18
the green bins for garden waste around here encourage you to add fish and chicken to the bins also when you pull your brambles out of your garden ect where do you put them? in your green bin
I would never add council waste to my garden
31 Dec 2013 21:19
I'm going to make my own seeding compost this year with MP compost and sand with added perlite
02 Jan 2014 15:10
Gab82 - if you take your garden waste to the tip at Great Northern Terrace, you get a stamp on your card for every visit (not for every bag you take though). Just ask the man at the entrance for a card and stamp. Once you have 5 stamps on your card you can exchange it for a bag of compost providing they have some in and it's only during the week I believe.

I grow alpines from seed and use sieved JI No. 2 plus grit. 2 scoops if JI to 1 of grit. I get Chick Grit from a Country Store which is very fine and is also useful for topping the pots of seeds. I have found this mix seems to work for all seeds except vegetables where I use 50% JI no. 2 plus 50% multipurpose compost, both sieved. Hope this is helpful. It also means you don't end up with lots of bags of different composts. The sieved rubbish from the compost goes on the garden to lighten our heavy clay soil, so no waste!

Bump for Laura
15 Apr 2014 16:31
I'm a fan of incorporating perlite and vermiculite into MPC or seed compost - keeps it light and airy, maintains water without getting waterlogged.
I find smaller seeds benefit from the finer compost but more robust seeds can cope with the MPC even when you gets bits of twigs! Ultimately if I don't have seed compost I just use what I've got and it usually works OK - personally I think making sure the seeds are not overwatered (risk of rotting) or left to dry out is more important than the medium they are sown in.
15 Apr 2014 16:48
Clueless - the council composting centre is able to get its heaps very hot (60 deg plus) which should kill all the nasties and break down the tough stuff.
I only know coz I nearly got a job at one of them once and they showed me round and explained it all. I'd've had to climb each heap (10m high, 20m wide, 50m long!) every day and measure its temperature to see if it was time to call in the bulldozers to turn it. Now that's a compost heap!

GREEN BAY — By design, Shawn Slocum has kept his punt returners in the dark. Both Davante Adams and Jeff Janis discovered they'd be fielding punts in a game at the last minute.
Ask Micah Hyde who the top gun is and he insists he has no clue.
And even though DuJuan Harris has returned kicks since Week 1 of training camp, the special-teams coach Slocum is hesitant to name him the man.
Be it secrecy or indecision, the Packers haven't settled on returners for the 2014 season.
"I like where we are," Slocum said. "I like having the ability to look at a number of guys."
The fluid situation may be fine now. By Week 1, the Packers will need a better battle plan than last year. Taking Green Bay at its actions, it appears that Harris will return kicks and Hyde or Randall Cobb are the front-runners for punt returns. Slocum has auditioned challengers. But echoing the head coach, he indicated it won't matter if the player is a starter on offense or defense.
Green Bay can't limp through a chunk of the season in the return game again.
"Explosive returns are a big part of a winning formula," Slocum said. "If you have that, you can really help our football team, as well as defending explosive returns. So I think you'll see some of our starters possibly included in our coverage groups as well. These games are all so close, you really never know which play will determine the outcome of a game."
So as much as the Packers may have liked fifth-rounder Jared Abbrederis (torn ACL), Adams or Janis to double up, it's likely Hyde or Cobb returning punts Week 1.
Hyde ranked fifth in the NFL at 12.3 yards per return last season, as Cobb has averaged 9.4 yards (2012) and 11.3 yards (2011). Slocum wouldn't differentiate between the two, citing that both have the "composure" and "ability" needed. If the Packers aren't going to play afraid — as McCarthy reiterated this month — there may be no need to mess with success in the incumbent Hyde.
Not dazzling, Hyde is decisive and reliable. Whereas Myles White (three muffs one practice), Adams (two muffs at Tennessee) sputter, Hyde is steady.
Maybe one bell-ringing hit as an eighth-grader is to thank. Back in Fostoria, Ohio, Hyde remembers playing through an elbow injury when he heard the jammer on a punt return — his best friend — scream "Fair catch! Fair catch!" at the last second.
Hyde didn't fair-catch it. And right then, he learned a lifelong lesson.
"I got drilled," Hyde said. "Just a helmet to my chest. Leveled."
For a moment, he blacked out.
"I probably had a concussion," he said. "But it was eighth grade, so they're like 'Micah get back in there and play some D.'"
Hyde never excelled in the kick return, and he's not sure why. The returner was never in sync with his blockers, as the Packers finished 30th. One reason, Hyde said, was that those kamikaze kickoff cover men have "their hair on fire," and "you have to step in front of them and try to block them, that's difficult."
It was a different story on punts where his individual instincts rule. So-so straight-line speed isn't as vital as decision-making, he says.
"It's being quick and getting off the spot," Hyde said. "Those guys are running down there and especially the gunners, they're ball guys. They're coming to the ball. So if you can catch the ball and get off the spot and try to redirect those gunners and that whole punt team, that's the vital thing.
"Those guys have to stay in their lane. If you can make a move and get through one of those lanes, it messes up the whole punt team."
The underdog Janis would probably need a dynamite return in the preseason to win the job. Cobb's line hasn't changed. Again, he said he'll do whatever the team asks. In a contract year, this sure wouldn't hurt his marketability.
"I think my versatility has been who I am since I've been here," Cobb said. "So I'm not going to change being the player I am."
The kick-return job seems to be Harris' to lose. Coaches haven't flinched over his recent fumbling problems, but remember it was a fumble at Cincinnati that got Jeremy Ross cut in Week 3 of last season.
The history of Packers running backs returning kicks isn't very promising, either. Johnathan Franklin (2013, 20.5 yards per four returns), Ahman Green (2009, 21.8 yards per nine), Vernand Morency (2006, 21.6 yards per 31), Noah Herron (2006, 17.9 per eight), ReShard Lee (2005, 21.3 yards per 15), Najeh Davenport (2002-'05, 24.1 yards per 46) were all mediocre.
The Packers find the 5-foot-7, 203-pound Harris' violent, jabbing style appealing. Through two exhibition games, he has 99 yards on four returns (24.8 avg.), taking one kick out of the end zone he shouldn't have in St. Louis and picking his way through Tennessee's coverage for 40 yards on another return.
"He's explosive. He's fast. He's strong," Slocum said. "He has a low center of gravity and great change of direction. Tough. There's a lot of things I like about that in a kickoff returner."
But, no, Slocum won't declare Harris his kick returner, saying "There's so much left in front of us….We've still got to put the formula together."
The picture should clear up Friday against Oakland.
For now, the only guarantee is that Hyde will have better jammers than he did in middle school. That best friend didn't stay a best friend after that game.
Said Hyde, "I cut that relationship off quick."

Hi guys,
How can I attract a certain person to my life? The person doesnt know me and I dont know where this person is, but he is from my town I guess. I can barely remember his face so that visualization doesnt work for me. I would like to become a friend with him and hang out with him. Is there a spell, a chant or whatever? Please
Thank you.

Rally draws gun advocates, reformers
Updated 9:45 pm, Thursday, March 28, 2013
NEWTOWN -- Outside the Newtown Shooting Sports Foundation on Thursday afternoon, one group of people waved flags and signs demanding protection of Second Amendment rights, while another, sporting the green and white colors of the Sandy Hook Elementary School, demanded tougher gun laws.
"Ban Violent Games/Not Guns," one placard read. Another asked, "How Can Anyone Be Opposed to Background Checks?"
A little, brown-haired girl held up a poster that advised, "Shoot Hoops/Not Guns."
More than 100 people participated in the peaceful rally just before rush hour, with Newtown residents and visitors supporting both sides of a hot-button issue brought front and center by the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Police Chief Michael Kehoe stood to one side as several police officers directed traffic and kept protestors off the road. A couple of officers guarded the exit and entrance to the foundation offices.
Newtown Shooting Sports Foundation President Steve Sanetti earlier this month donated thousands of gun locks to the city of Bridgeport, saying if Nancy Lanza had locked up her guns, her son would not have been able to commit the mass killings.
Wearing a green-and-white scarf around her neck, Newtown High School junior Sarah Clements said standing shoulder-to-shoulder with those who want gun reform after the Sandy Hook tragedy seems a much better option than just clicking on a Facebook page.
"This renews my sense of courage, strength and hope," said Clements, a local art center volunteer.
Sandy Hook's Ron Wilcox said he is not a gun owner. But he came to the rally, he said, because he believes in the preservation of the rights described in the Constitution. As horrific as the shootings were, Wilcox said, laws should not be written or amended based on "emotion."
Kristen Bartlett, of Wethersfield, said this fight must be against criminals, not law-abiding citizens. She said she hopes everyone can come together, listen to each other and find solutions that work.
Newtown Action Alliance Founder Dave Ackert said his organization staged the event to protest the gun lobby's fight against what he and his fellow members argue are "common sense" measures to protect against mass shootings.
The sports foundation is the nation's second largest gun lobby, behind the National Rifle Association.
Ackert said the state Legislature is poised to pass some of the toughest gun control legislation in the nation, but needs strong public support to assure lawmakers don't falter.
Parent and alliance member Maura Bergman said the time is now to make the change.
"We need to speak up," she said. "It's the right thing to do."

Former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (46-1-1, 32KOs) wants to make it clear to all middleweights - "I'm back." The 27-year-old, son of a legend, is getting ready for a planned return on June 22, televised on HBO, in either Texas or Mexico.
The three opponents being considered are Matthew Macklin, Domenico Spada and Brian Vera. Chavez will enter the ring for the first time since last September's twelve round decision loss to Sergio Martinez.
Chavez made it clear to reporters in Mexico that "he wants revenge" on Martinez and hopes to get a rematch "later this year." He also said he is "not afraid" to get in the ring with WBA champion Gennady Golovkin and feels confident about his ability to win.
The Mexican star further stated that he wants to "thank all of his fans and looks forward to getting into the ring, winning and bringing the WBC title back to Mexico."
Chavez has been out of the ring due to a nine month suspension after testing positive for marijuana in his post-fight drug test, which was taken after the loss to Martinez.

"There is a merit badge for just about everything in Boy Scouts of America, one of the largest private youth organizations in the U.S. — a badge for heritage, culture, family life, first aid and so on. There isn't yet a badge for taking a stand against anti-gay or anti-lesbian bias and bigotry …," begins today's editorial, "Boy Scouts should live up to creed."
Well, now there is — at least virtually.
A key piece of the advocacy group's social media campaign is a virtual "merit badge" built for sharing. Posting it on your wall, tweeting or tumbling it (various forms of sharing) shows your followers you support "inclusive scouting."
GLAAD, formally the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, is waging the social media campaign on nearly all digital fronts to convince the Boy Scouts of America to allow gay Scouts and LGBT leaders. On Monday, the BSA announced it's considering doing just so — at least letting each troop decide; its national board may discuss the ban against openly gay members at its February meeting.
Here's what the badge looks like on Facebook:
On Pinterest, GLAAD has a board supporting Ohio mom Jennifer Tyrrell's petitions to end the Boy Scouts' ban on gay leaders and scouts.
What the campaign looks like on Twitter:
Tell the boyscouts to end the ban on gay scouts and leaders #BoyScouts glaad.org/tellbsa instagr.am/p/VHGkcquc4M/

Subscriber gains and guidance for the remaining year as well as new content deals will be the focus when online streaming giant Netflix reports its Q2 2012 earnings tomorrow. Several analysts are pessimistic about the company's ability to live up to its full-year subscriber guidance. However, we feel differently and believe that Netflix has shown signs of recovery and could very well improve its presence in the U.S. and International markets. Here are a few things to watch.
See our complete analysis for Netflix
Subscriber Gains
Netflix's stock has performed dismally since the company reported its last quarterly results. Then recently the stock surged when the company said that it streamed more than 1 billion hours in the month of June, 2012. This was a significant improvement if we compare it to Q4 2011 when Netflix streamed, on an average, less than 700 million hours per month.
With this indication and other clues concerning adoption of streaming, we expect Netflix to post positive subscriber gains in the upcoming earnings release, continuing the momentum that it built in Q1 2012. In fact, we believe that the ratings decline of Viacom Nickelodeon indicates that kids are spending more time on other entertainment resources, online streaming being one of them.
U.S. subscriber gains will continue to remain the focus given that U.S. is likely to remain Netflix's largest geography for foreseeable future. Nevertheless investors should not underestimate international growth. It might be easy for some to overlook developments in the international arena, but it holds significant long-term value add potential as close to 30% of our fair value estimate for Netflix comes from future growth in the international markets.
Content Costs
Just like subscriber growth, the cost of content acquisition remains an evergreen and important metric of Netflix's profitability. Lately, the company has been running into losses primarily due to content investment for international expansion. Netflix has significant content obligations on its balance sheet. However, these must be viewed concurrently with future growth potential. It will be interesting to note how the company?s margins have changed over the last quarter.
Effect of Increased Competition
Although in general we remain positive about Netflix, the increasing competition poses some risk. Not much has changed as far as Netflix's own strategy is concerned. The company continues to enhance its streaming library, add more exclusive content and expand overseas with intermediate enhancements to its UI. However competition has increased and several big names are getting more interested in streaming. Netflix still has the lead, but risk exists. We feel that the impact of competition may be more evident in later half of this year.
Our price estimate for Netflix stands at $110, implying a premium of more than 35% to the market price.

I currently have 1,704 free high-resolution national park maps to view, save, and download.
The National Park Service publishes tons of great free maps; I've collected them all for you. Here on NPMaps you'll find hundreds of PDF and image files of any U.S. national park map; you can view all parks alphabetically and sort by state. Or use the menu above to navigate to the park of your choice.
If you're looking for a single national parks map that shows all U.S. national parks, click the image to the left (2.7 mb) or download the PDF (21.2 mb). The PDF map will take a while to load; please be patient! Or, order a large poster of this national parks map from the NPMaps Store (links open in new window).
I created this site because I love visiting national parks and planning trips by poring* over a classic national park map. However, I've always found it time-consuming to visit each park's web page and use an embedded map viewer or muddle through the website to find a nice printable map.
So I've done the hard work for you and collected maps of each park and hosted them here. I'll be continually updating this site over time, adding more parks and including as many free downloadable maps as I can find. I'll post new pages in the Latest Updates section as I add more.
Besides hosting the main national park brochure maps, I've also endlessly paged through park newspapers, management documents, and other non-user-friendly PDFs in order to extract the maps and provide them here for you. Enjoy the fruits of my labor! I cut out all the extra info to give you just the maps, straight up.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — An emergency ground delivery of food, water and other supplies was planned Tuesday for a tiny western New Mexico community that remained isolated after weekend flooding damaged the only paved road leading to it.
New Mexico Department of Homeland Security spokesman Estevan Lujan said state authorities and the National Guard planned to deliver ready-made-meals and other supplies by foot to residents of the privately run ghost town of Mogollon.
Lujan said the original planned airlift was canceled after officials determined there was not enough space to land a helicopter.
(MORE: Colorado Flooding Update)
Officials said a creek paralleling the one paved road into town — state Route 159 — surged from its banks after heavy rains and made the road inaccessible from a mile outside the community.
Forecasters said flash flooding was less likely in much of northern and central New Mexico. But continued rain was keeping that threat alive in some areas, particularly on the eastern plains south of Interstate 40.
"Comparing this week with last week, we're definitely going to be quieting down," said Christopher Luckett, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque.
Roughly 15 residents live year-round in Mogollon, former mining town nestled in the mountains on the western side of the state.
Authorities planned to use a bulldozer to scrape out a makeshift road for four-wheel drive vehicles. Tafoya said there was no estimate on when the work would be completed.
Gov. Susana Martinez approved the emergency delivery to Mogollon.
Mogollon wasn't the only town hit-hard with flooding in the Gila National Forest, an area devastated by last year's Whitewater-Baldy Fire. That blaze raced through the Gila and became the largest in the state's recorded history, leaving burn scars.
Marianne Sutton, owner of the Whitewater Motel in Glenwood, said the basement of her motel was flooded starting late Sunday when a nearby creek overflowed its banks. She evacuated guests from three rooms. Water filled her backyard and floated the propane tank that serves the motel.
"It was horrendous," she said in a telephone interview Monday night.
(MORE: Flood Risk Map | New Mexico Severe Weather Alerts)
She was left with no hot water or propane, and said her septic system might have been compromised by the flooding.
Whitewater Creek swept up debris, including burnt logs from a fire in the mountains last year. The debris snagged on a bridge in town, Sutton said.
Gila National Forest spokeswoman Andrea Martinez said most of the forest was saturated was water and many roads were inaccessible. "All creeks and arroyos are full," Martinez said. "We are advising everyone to stay off the roads if they can."
Meanwhile, the American Red Cross said it has opened a new shelter in Crownpoint in northwestern New Mexico.
That shelter at Crownpoint High School is being used by Navajo Technical University students. They'd been in a temporary shelter because of storm damage to the university campus last week.
Officials in Farmington and San Juan Country say initial estimates put damage from the heavy rain and flood at more than $1 million on public lands there. According to officials, the severe weather damaged roads, bridges and rainwater drainage systems.

Canon EOS-1DSCanon extends the EOS-1D with 11.1 megapixels, and a full-frame CMOS sensor!
<<Executive Overview :(Previous) | (Next): Viewfinder>>
Page 3:DesignReview First Posted: 9/24/2002
Building upon the very successful EOS-1D, Canon ups the ante with the EOS-1Ds and an amazing 11.1-megapixel, full-frame CMOS sensor. (The earlier EOS-1D was an exceptional camera in other respects with its 4.0-megapixel CCD, and extraordinary 8 frames/second shooting speed.) Weighing in at a hefty 44.6 ounces (1,265 grams) without the battery, lens, or CompactFlash card installed, the Canon EOS-1Ds is more than a handful. Its magnesium-alloy body is exceptionally tough and durable, ready for heavy use. Size and portability weren't top design considerations for the 1Ds. Instead, Canon opted for maximum speed, ruggedness, and compatibility with the EOS-1v film camera, and the EOS-1D digital SLR before it. The EOS-1Ds has the same dimensions as its predecessor, measuring 6.1 x 6.2 x 3.1 inches (156 x 157.6 x 79.9mm ), and definitely requires a two-handed grip.
The resemblance between the EOS-1Ds, EOS-1D, and the film-based EOS-1v is more than close -- the three cameras are virtually identical. All of the conventional controls (AF, Mode, Drive, ISO, Exposure Compensation, etc.) are exactly the same, except for the obvious differences, such as those digital controls that simply don't apply to a film camera, and the lack of a film compartment door -- but everything that can be the same is. This extends even to the Custom Function options. In some cases, Canon has left an "empty" function on the 1D, simply so the function numbers shared with the 1v and 1D will be the same. If you're comfortable using an EOS-1v or 1D, you'll be able to transition to the 1Ds with almost no learning curve, and switching rapidly back and forth between any of the three models should involve no confusion.
One of the most welcome aspects of the EOS-1Ds' design is that it needs little protection from the elements. A feature inherited from the EOS-1v and carried forward through the 1D, its weatherproof body features rubber-sealed compartments and controls (with no fewer than 72 sealing components), making the camera ideal for shooting in any type of inclement weather -- driving rain, snow, dust storms, or mud -- it should make little difference to the 1D. Though it's not certified for submersion, I'm willing to bet you could give it a quick dunk with no ill effects. This is a huge advantage over other pro digital SLRs on the market today (October, 2001), and I think it will be of major significance to practicing pros.
|EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM
|EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
|EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM
|EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM
|EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM
|EF 500mm f/4L IS USM
|EF 600mm f/4L IS USM
Though the lens mount itself also doesn't feature any environmental sealing, Canon introduced a lens mount with the EOS-1v, continued on the 1D, and now on the 1Ds that accommodates a rubber sealing gasket on the lens body. The combination of gasket seat (on the camera) and gasket (on the lens) makes for a water and dust-tight seal between the camera body and lens. Canon tells us that all future L-series lenses will likely incorporate this type of gasket. (It doesn't interfere with the lens mount on older Canon SLRs, but it doesn't provide the sealing that it does on the 1v, 1D, and 1Ds.) For now though, there's a pretty complete range of focal lengths available with the sealing technology. (Missing only the focal length range from 35-70mm.) A list of current EF-mount lenses incorporating the gasket appears above right.
The front of the EOS-1Ds is simple in design, essentially identical to the preceding 1D model, featuring only the lens mount and a few controls. A small release button on the right side of the lens (as viewed from the front) releases the lens from its mount, allowing you to remove it completely. The hefty hand grip is big enough to provide a secure hold on the camera, even with a lens attached. At the bottom of the hand grip is a secondary shutter button and Command dial, for use when holding the camera vertically. Also visible from the front of the camera is the main Shutter button, mounted at a sloping angle from the top panel, as well as the front of the battery compartment. (The latter being the low bulge along the bottom of the camera that also serves as the vertical-orientation hand grip.) Hidden on the right front side is the ambient-light White Balance sensor, covered by a white diffuser window. This sensor helps the camera determine the proper color balance, using its "hybrid" white balance technology. Finally, the Depth of Field Preview button can be seen on the left side of the lens mount, with the self-timer lamp above it.
The right side of the camera (as viewed from the rear) holds the secondary Flash Exposure Lock button; the On/Off switch, which activates the secondary camera controls; the secondary function dial; and the secondary shutter button. At the top of the right side is one of the eyelets for attaching the neck strap.
Lining the opposite side of the camera are the Flash PC socket, Remote Control, and Digital input jacks, each covered by a flexible synthetic rubber flap. At the bottom is the battery compartment and its release controlsa rotating latch and a release button, both of which must be activated to open the compartment door. Though I found this system a little difficult to operate at times, it does ensure that the battery stays in place, and won't accidentally end up on the ground. Also on this side is the other neck strap eyelet.
The EOS-1Ds' top panel holds several camera controls, including the Mode, AF, Drive, ISO, Metering/Flash Exposure Compensation, LCD Illumination, Exposure Compensation, Flash Exposure Lock, and Shutter buttons. A small Command dial is located just behind the Shutter button, and is used to adjust camera settings. (The Command dial is used by itself to set aperture and shutter speed in some modes, or works with the plethora of other buttons to engage the actual setting changes.) The external flash hot shoe crowns the camera's top panel, and a small, black-and-white LCD monitor reports camera information such as battery power, exposure mode, aperture, shutter speed, and exposure compensation, among others.
The remaining camera controls are located on the back panel, along with the LCD monitor and optical viewfinder eyepiece. A diopter adjustment dial and the optical viewfinder eyepiece shutter flank the eyepiece on either side. A removable soft rubber eyecup (included in the box with the 1Ds, but not shown above) attaches to improve viewing in strong ambient lighting. In the center of the back panel is a large Quick Control dial, which also selects camera settings when turned on (a small switch above the dial turns it on or off). While it does work in conjunction with some of the camera's buttons, the Quick Control dial primarily serves as part of the user interface for the LCD menu system. Camera controls on the back panel include the Assist, AE Lock, AF Point Selection, Sound/Protect, Menu, Select, Display, Erase, Quality, and White Balance buttons. In the lower right corner are the secondary Assist, AE Lock, and AF Point Selection buttons, for use when holding the camera vertically. The 2.0-inch LCD monitor displays image playback and menu screens, and a secondary, black-and-white LCD panel just below it reports more camera information. Also on the back panel is the CompactFlash card slot, released by turning the small release key just below it.
The bottom panel of the EOS-1Ds holds only a tripod socket and a strap attachment eyelet used for the short strap shipped with the 1Ds, that wraps around the user's right hand when he/she grips the camera, providing a more secure grip. The tripod mount is directly below the centerline of the lens, reducing parallax errors between shots when panning.

"What is the best accounting software to use for the MAC?"
I was asked this question this week. The person has a small business, uses a MAC and wants to use the best accounting software on the market. They want to make a smart buying decision, since face it, you live in your accounting software. They don't want to run any Windows-based software in a parallel mode. Their small business, while simple now, is poised for grow this year. Intuit products (QuickBooks for small businesses and Quicken for personal finances) are the leader in the PC world. My criteria for "best accounting software" is well supported by a stable company, been in the market for a while and appears near the top of the list in purchases.
While I am familiar with Quicken Essential for the MAC to handle personal finances, I am not quite so familiar with small business accounting software for the MAC. So…I did some quick research. I put the question out to my colleagues at AADMM (American Association of Daily Money Managers) and the Financial Organizing Special Interest Group for NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers). I also did some quick searches on Google and looked to see what was selling best in MAC accounting software at Amazon.
The answer came back…QuickBooks for MAC! (As of this writing the current version is QuickBooks 2011).
Boy was I both surprised and happy. Surprised that someone else isn't giving Intuit a run for their money in the Apple world and happy because I can work QuickBooks in my sleep. I like when I can refer something I know. It's a great product for the price and can do (or be made to do) just about everything a small business needs. So, my recommendation for the best accounting software on the MAC is QuickBooks.
Amazon has the best price, beating out the QuickBooks website. Here is the link to save you time.

PS3 hardware hacking with Arduino Mega 2560 help?
Hey! I currently have a NAND system on firmware 4.40 and I was wondering if the Arduino Mega 2560 is capable of downgrading it via hardware flash. I don't really have much use for a teensy other than flashing, so it would be sort of a waste to have one sitting around doing nothing.
On top of that, is hardware flashing still possible if I update to 4.41?
04-26-2013 #2Azrial Guest
What's the consoles original firmware? Anything higher that 3.55 is not possible to jailbreak, no idea about flashing beyond 4.41, as it's new and we don't know much about it.
04-26-2013 #3d3m0n1q733rz Guest
Not a matter of original firmware...
The original firmware was 1.00 I think. But I'm not asking about that, I'm asking if it's possible to hardware flash it with an Arduino Mega at this time. And 4.41 is similar to 4.40 firmware. So, if it's possible with one, it should be with the other. Though, I don't know if it's possible with either as of yet.
04-27-2013 #4mschumacher69 Guest
Nothing major has changed in 4.41, so I think it is still downgradable.
I don't think you can downgrade with anything except an E3 (NOR), Progskeet (NAND) or Teensy++ (NOR).

Putnam, 2009
1. When Claire first walks into Lillian's, she reflects: "When wasthe last time she had been someplace where no one knew who she was?" Is the anonymity of the kitchen a lure for Lillian's students?
2. How did you respond to the story of Lillian's upbringing? Would Lillian have been better off with a more traditional home life, like those of her school friends? Do you agree with Abuelita's statement that "sometimes our greatest gifts grow from what we are not given"?
3. Besides scenes from her childhood, the author discloses very little about Lillian. Why do you think she did this? How would the book be different if we knew more about Lillian's day-to-day life?
4. As a general rule, Lillian doesn't give her students recipes. Why do you think she does this? What are the pros and cons of this approach to cooking?
5. Did Helen do the right thing by telling Carl about her affair? How would their marriage—and Helen and Carl themselves—have evolved had he never learned the truth?
6. Each of the character's stories centers on a dish or an ingredient that has a profound effect upon how they see themselves or the world. What connections do you see between Claire and the crabs? Between Chloe and tortillas? Tom and the pasta sauce?
7. Although we only see Charlie, Tom's wife, in flashback, she seems to share Lillian's love of essential ingredients. What do you make of Charlie's statement that "We're all just ingredients. What matters is the grace with which you cook the meal"?
8. Chloe observes that Thanksgiving at her house is "about everyone being the same, and if you're not, eating enough so you won't notice." Is this something that our culture buys into in a larger sense? How does Lillian's approach to food fly in the face of this idea?
9. Isaac says to Isabelle that he thinks "we are each a chair and a ladder for the other." What do you think he means? Are there people in your life who are or have been that for you?
10. Lillian tells the class that "a holiday is a lot like a kitchen. What's important is what comes out of it." In what way do the kitchens in this book—Lillian's childhood kitchen, the greasy spoon where Tom meets Charlie, the kitchen that Antonia saves from demolition—represent different celebrations of life? Is there a kitchen in your life that you associate with a particular celebration or emotional milestone?
11. At the end of the novel, Lillian reflects that: "She saw how connected [the students'] lives had become and would remain. Where did a teacher fit in the picture, she wondered, when there was no longer a class?" What does happen to Lillian once her class is disbanded? Do you feel that each character's story is resolved? What do you imagine happens in these characters' lives after the book ends?
12. What would be your essential ingredients?

'Tis the season for holiday hoops tournaments
'Tis the season for holiday hoops tournaments.
No holiday tournament this week is bigger than the Shooting Touch Holiday Tournament at Emmanuel College on Thursday and Friday.
Once again, Hall of Fame coach Bob Hurley Sr. has brought his famed St. Anthony's team to the tournament. St. Anthony's will play Brighton High, which lost in the Division 2 state tournament last spring, at 5 p.m. on Thursday before New Mission plays Christ the King at 7 p.m.
St. Anthony's played New Mission last year in the tournament.
"Well, we didn't get to play [in the tournament] last year and we got called to play in it this year, which is an honor," Brighton coach Hugh Coleman said. "I think that we were recognized for our success last year and we are honored to be thought of.
"St. Anthony's and coach Hurley is a well-known program and pretty famous in the basketball world. We know that we have a big game ahead of us and a lot to overcome. We already feel the pressure because they have such a well-known established program, but we are very much up to the challenge. It will be a good indicator for us to see how our kids match up against kids from other states. I think it's a great opportunity for our kids."
All tournament proceeds go to The Shooting Touch Sabbatical Program, which grants graduating college seniors the opportunity to partake in a 10-month international work program using basketball to foster education and influence positive social change in third world communities.
Coach Hurley will also conduct a free coaching clinic for coaches in Boston on Saturday at the Shelburne Community Center (2730 Washington St.) in Roxbury from 9 to 11 a.m. To attend the clinic, RSVP to Brad Schoonmaker at email@example.com
The clinic is sponsored by the Boston Scholar Athletes Program, Boston public schools and The Shooting Touch.
"It's open to all boys and girls coaches and athletic coordinators at [Boston Public] schools," BSA Executive Athletic Director Chris Rooks said. "There are going to be a number of folks there trying to learn from him."
Rooks said the first half of the clinic will be about coaching at-risk youth, while the second half will be about basketball skills and strategy.
"I think it's going to be a great event," he said. "It's a partnership we started with Shooting Touch this year and in the future we hope to grow this partnership for the benefit of the scholar athletes who participate in athletics in BPS and also for our coaches."
O'Bryant girls' basketball coach Trudy Fisher said she's not sure if she can attend the Hurley clinic because her team, along with Brighton, Fenway, and New Mission, are playing in the Shelburne Holiday Tournament, also at the Shelburne Center.
"He's awesome, unbelievable," she said of Hurley. "You look at him and get power. I would love to go. That's an opportunity you don't want to miss because people like him don't always come through. So I probably will be there."
One of Fisher's best players, Raven Kelsey, said the Shelburne tournament will be a good chance to play teams from out of the city.
"That will be great for us because when we go to states it will give us experience playing competition outside the city," she said. "That will prepare us for states."
Another good holiday matchup to catch will be East Boston and Everett in the BABC Classic at Chelsea High on Friday.
While other city league teams will be playing in the Malden Tournament, the Marion Holiday and the Marshfield Holiday Tournament, not every BPS hoops coach will be taking their teams to holiday tournaments this week. Some coaches see the week as an opportunity to bone up on the basics before the city league schedule picks up again after the holiday break.
Teams such as Charlestown's boys' squad and Latin Academy's girls' team will be holding practice over the break but not playing any games.
"[It's a chance to] get our stuff together," Latin Academy's Catherine Loney said, "come back and play hard the rest of the season."

An interview with Dr David Walsh
What is your role within the Institute?
"I'm the Lead for Research which means that it's my job to encourage staff to undertake applied research that makes a real impact on the world. I develop the research strategy, support and encourage research efforts, and look to form associations with external partners.
"I believe that universities must be knowledge constructors, not just knowledge dispensers. This is what separates us from the further education sector. We can then bring this new knowledge into the classroom so that the people we teach benefit and learn something that they wouldn't get elsewhere.
"Research and the publication of external peer-reviewed material is also vital because it's how we test our own ideas and thinking."
What is your professional background and experience?
"Before becoming an academic, I spent over 20 years working in government departments: first as an investigator, then as a trainer of investigators, and finally, as a manager of investigation teams.
"While I was working I did some part-time teaching but I began my full-time career in lecturing at the University of Derby in 2006."
What have been your key successes or achievements in the field of policing?
"My area of expertise is helping police and non-police investigators use new techniques to interview victims, witnesses and suspects.
"My research in this field has expanded my knowledge so I've been able to introduce new ideas and approaches that have improved the task of interviewing in this country and abroad.
"Through this work, I've helped to raise the profile of the University of Derby internationally: only last week, some academics came over from Slovenia and Indonesia to talk to me.
"I've also been asked to do training for the International Criminal Court in The Hague, and for the Gangmasters Licensing Authority (part of the UK Government). Last month I was in Philadelphia in the US delivering a session for their police force. Furthermore, my work has been translated into training for detectives in countries as diverse as Norway and China."
What do you think are the greatest challenges and opportunities facing international policing today?
"The increasing pressure to ensure policing is carried out with openness, democracy and with respect for international standards of human rights will be a big challenge; not only for developing countries with relatively new police forces, but for more established countries also.
"For example, the 2008 European Court directive, which made it mandatory for suspects to see a legal representative before the police can question them, has not yet been adopted by all the nations in the European Economic Area (EEA)."
How do you think the Institute and its partners can benefit from working together?
"The Institute will bring together a range of individuals and organisations so that we can discuss these challenges in an open forum and try to develop a new era of policing.
"Through our research, we can address questions as fundamental as: 'Do we need a police force in the UK?' Building on our existing track record, we hope to lead the debate around policing on a national and international scale."
