Jury Selection Begins In Lil Boosie Murder Trial!
"Several hundred people will arrive in downtown Baton Rouge Monday as potential jurors for the murder trial of Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie, but only 12 of them will eventually be selected to hear the case. Lil Boosie, whose real name is Torrence Hatch, is on trial for first-degree murder. However, the death penalty is not on the table if he's found guilty. A total of 700 people have been summoned to appear for jury duty this week for this trial and others. Normally, 500 people are summoned. Hatch faces murder charges in connection with a murder-for-hire scheme. The judge is allowing some specific lyrics to be brought up in the trial. Prosecutors said specific lyrics equal intent. Defense attorneys said it's just a rapper doing his job. Three specific words are what prosecutors hope will link Torrence Hatch to the killing of Terry Boyd on October 21, 2009. Those words include 187, mirk and cake." - WAFB

DVD educational video – How to build your own cnc router
by Sam Faix
A DVD educational video detailing step by step the construction of a DIY CNC router.
DVD Educational Video – How to build a Computer Controlled Router
This project will be the production of a DVD video detailing the construction of a DIY open source cnc router. All steps of the construction will be documented and explained, including material sourcing, fabrication, assembly, and hardware/software configuration. Final CAD design drawings of the cnc system will be open source.
Drought in the central Texas area has devastated the trees in the area, killing more than 500 million trees state wide. We have partnered with a tree removal company which has now given us access to a huge amount of timber resources that would be destroyed otherwise. A cnc router prototype has been constructed and a new design has been created – one specific to the use of rough cut wood slabs. This new design will allow for massive wood slabs to be loaded via forklift, and easily secured for machining. The cnc router will be capable of cutting intricate relief carvings, joints, and curves.
The unique feature of this cnc router design compared to others is the table top. It will be made from evenly spaced 2×4's mounted to a slotted iron frame. The 2×4's will provide an ideal securing surface for rough wood slabs, and allow material to be loaded via forklift.
Funding of the project will cover the cost of 4 industrial stepper motors, stainless steel rails and ball screw drives, power supply, 4 axis cnc controller, basic pc, 3KW water cooled spindle, variable frequency drive, and structural iron material.
The final open source CNC design and implementation details will be freely redistributed online in order to accelerate the innovation of the technology. Any pledge of $25 or more will receive a video of the construction of the CNC machine as well as the final CAD design plans – everything necessary to build your own CNC machine. We have no goal of mass producing the CNC machine at this time, only the production of the DVD and the construction of the unit. This will be an interim step to a possible mass production design.
We are overworked and underfunded. Every pledge will help. Thank you for joining us in this project which is sure to be an adventure in engineering and art!
The DVD will be shipped internationally at no extra charge!

Sens. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, fell four votes short of the supermajority they needed for an amendment aimed at imposing much stricter limits on farm program payments as the Senate inched closer to approving a new farm bill.
The Dorgan-Grassley amendment, which would have placed a "hard cap" of $250,000 on the amount individual farmers could receive, required 60 votes to move forward under an agreement with Senate leaders. The amendment received 56 votes for and 43 against and was withdrawn.
Environmental groups, which had waged a five-year battle to end farm payments to "wealthy, corporate producers," expressed extreme disappointment at the failure of what appeared to be their last hope for influencing the payment limit rules in the new farm bill.
The Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, one of the leaders in the fight for the new rules, accused opponents of the measure of "thwarting the will of the Senate by using procedural roadblocks to insist on a super majority of 60 votes to approve the reform measure."
But Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., one of the leaders of the fight against Grassley-Dorgan, said opponents were simply using all the tools available against what they considered an unfair amendment.
"We put 80 percent of the reforms Sens. Dorgan and Grassley sought in the 2002 farm bill in the underlying bill that's now before the Senate," Lincoln told reporters. "I think it was our right to object when we felt the last 20 percent in the Dorgan-Grassley amendment was clearly punitive to Southern growers."
Lincoln and Sens. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., ranking minority member on the Senate Agriculture Committee; Mark Pryor, D-Ark.; Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.; and John Isakson, R-Ga., all took to the floor to speak against the amendment.
Chambliss, chairman of the ag committee until Democrats claimed the majority a year ago, said the Midwest senators' bill itself treated farm payments unfairly, imposing strict limits on commodity program benefits while allowing unlimited conservation program payments.
"My colleagues have said it is their position that farmers simply get too much money, and we need to cap payments," Chambliss said during debate on the amendment. "I think it is interesting to note that we tried to put a cap on conservation payments, and we were stymied from doing that in the committee."
Grassley and Dorgan made many of the arguments they've been making for nearly seven years, but added a few new wrinkles, including references to "cowboy starter kits" and payments to "wealthy patrons of the arts in San Francisco."
"Down in Texas, they have what are called cowboy starter kits," said Dorgan. "You can have 10 acres of land that were used to produce rice 20 years ago and have a house on an acre, run a horse on the other eight or nine, and you get a farm program payment, despite the fact you have never farmed and that land hasn't produced a rice crop for 20 years."
Dorgan also cited an article in the San Francisco Chronicle that Constance Bowles, heiress of a California cattle baron, was the largest recipient of federal cotton subsidies in the state between 2003 and 2005, receiving $1.2 million in payments through her family's cotton farm in Los Banos.
"If we want this sort of thing to continue, then let's not pass this amendment," said Dorgan. "Our amendment says you ought to be a farmer if you are going to get a farm program payment. Our definition doesn't require you to live on the farm, but it requires you to have active involvement."
Chambliss said most of the payments to which Dorgan referred in his speech are conservation payments, which would not have been limited by the Grassley-Dorgan payment limits amendment.
Grassley claimed the lack of meaningful reform on payment limits has been forcing land values and cash rents higher, making it difficult for beginning farmers to get a start in agriculture.
He cited a study by Kansas State University's Terry Kastens that government farm program payments have bolstered land values above what they would have been without them. "The evidence is convincing that a significant portion of the subsidies are being bid into cash rent and capitalized into land values," he said. "If investors were to expect less federal funding, land values would likely decline by as much as 25 percent."
Arkansas Sen. Lincoln said her research — which included a study by Iowa State University — indicated that farm payments have little, if anything, to do with land prices or cash rents.
The Grassley-Dorgan amendment, she said, would "force thousands of land owners to shift from share rents to cash rents, thus making the tenants on that land less competitive in international markets because of higher production costs."
Lincoln said she was grateful enough of her colleagues realized how devastating the Grassley-Dorgan amendment would be to farm families across Arkansas and much of the South.
"Farm families in Arkansas should not have to sacrifice their way of life, and that's what this proposal would have done. Moreover, it would have threatened our domestic food supply, which unfortunately has been taken for granted by some. It's hard for me to believe that critics of Southern agriculture do not draw the connection between a strong and balanced farm bill and maintaining our safe food source and maintaining jobs in rural America."

No Voter Turned Away
Thanks to the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), many of the weaknesses in the U.S. electoral system revealed in the 2000 Presidential Election are being addressed. The Provisional Voting section of HAVA is one of the first parts of the law to be implemented and institutes provisional balloting as a nationwide right and practice as of January 1, 2004. If a person shows up at the polls on Election Day anywhere in the U.S. and claims to be eligible to vote, that person will be permitted to vote. With 50 states and thousands of local jurisdictions, it's difficult to guarantee that this important voting right will be observed properly in all places.

Stone Park Jamshidieh GC2QDY1 GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK – April 30, 2012
Stone Park Jamshidieh (GC2QDY1) is one of only 32 active geocaches in all of Iran. The country boasts the combined size of the western U.S. states of California, Oregon , Washington, Idaho, Arizona, and Nevada . With just over 30 geocaches in the entire country, that's only one geocache for about every 50,000 square kilometers (31,000 square miles).
The geocache "Stone Park Jamshidieh" helps make up in quality what Iran lacks in geocache quantity. The geocache delivers adventurers to a location of deep importance. The stone park was once a private garden. It's now a public park with restaurants, a zoo, and a small lake. But the payoff for many comes when they look down on the city below. The view shimmers at night with countless city lights.
Karolos hid the cache just over a year ago. He writes, "The stone park Jamshidieh, situated in the north of Teheran is one of the most beautiful parks in Tehran. From a small lake inside the park you can easily walk up a stairway to the summit up to 2100 m." The summit offers the view over the city.
Geocachers logged the first find on the geocache four days after it was published. They used the treasure hunting experience to introduce others to geocaching, "Together with two Iranian cache newcomers — Leila and Said — we started our first caching tour in Iran. Fortunately, the traffic was not bad. The cache itself was well hidden but not too difficult. Thus, we managed our first FTF."
Continue to explore some of the most engaging geocaches around the globe. Check out all the Geocaches of the Week on the Latitude 47 blog or view the Bookmark List on Geocaching.com.
If you' d like to nominate a Geocache of the Week, send an email with your name, comments, the name of the geocache, and the GC code to email@example.com.

Mass. woman accused of killing wife seeks bail
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts woman awaiting retrial in the 2010 strangulation and beating death of her wife has asked a judge to free her on bail.
A lawyer for 46-year-old Cara Lee Rintala asked a judge on Thursday to release his client on $250,000 bail.
In the motion, her lawyer said Rintala's family, friends and members of her church have all helped raise the money and support her release.
The Daily Hampshire Gazette (http://bit.ly/14cxZqi ) reports that prosecutors oppose granting bail given the seriousness of the charges.
Authorities say Rintala killed her wife, Annamarie Cochrane Rintala, a paramedic, in their Granby home in March 2010 after months of stress over finances.
Her murder trial in March ended in a mistrial when the jury could not reach a verdict.

THE SAGA OF Elijah that we are following in 1 and 2 Kings culminates in a poignant parting as the prophet prepares to be taken up into heaven. His disciple, Elisha, makes a final all-or-nothing request: "Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit" (2 Kings 2:9). Elijah states a condition for the fulfillment of Elisha's prayer: "You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it will be granted you; if not, it will not" (2:10). It is as if Elisha has to look unblinkingly into the reality of their separation. If he is to inherit the prophetic mantle and spirit of his teacher, he must claim the vocation in its entirety. He is now to be the prophet.
The story is an uncanny pointer to the truth that John the Evangelist highlights in Jesus' last words to his disciples: "I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you ..." (16:7). John even echoes the "double spirit" theme in 14:12, when he has Jesus assure us that our prophetic endeavors will be more abundant and powerful than Jesus' own!
The season following Pentecost helps us realize that we are the prophets now, vested with the mandate and endowed with the gifts for enacting the good news of liberation.

Carlisle United kicked off 2013/14 sacking season after relieving Greg Abbott of his managerial duties at Brunton Park, following a poor start to life in League One this year.
The third longest serving boss in English football became the first casualty of the new campaign, after his side picked up just two points from their opening six games, which leaves them precariously placed in the third tier relegation places.
Only Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, and Exeter City's Paul Tisdale are able to boast lengthier stints in the same position, prior to Abbott's dismissal on Monday, off the back of Carlisle's disappointing 1-0 defeat against Port Vale on Saturday.
The 49-year-old was appointed was appointed caretaker manager after Neil MacDonald was sacked in 2007, and then succeeded John Ward on a permanent basis after the replacement gaffer was fired in December 2008.
Abbott's departure comes less than three years after he led Carlisle to Wembley glory with a win over Brentford in the 2011 Johnstone's Paint Trophy, 12 months after the Cumbrian side were losing finalists against Southampton.
Three consecutive defeats represented a terrible start for an established League One club, and although they responded with away draws at Colchester and Brentford, Saturday's loss at home against Port Vale, courtesy of a stoppage-time strike from Tom Pope, proved to be the final nail in Abbott's coffin.
With the managerial merry-go-round in England now underway, here's a look at five of the Premier League's most under pressure bosses this term…

COSTA MESA — Orange County can expect mild job growth this year and next, according to Chapman University's mid-year economic forecast Thursday.
Consumer spending should increase but struggles in the housing sector could continue to mean sluggish job growth, according to the forecast.
Economists forecast job growth of 1.5% in 2011 and 2.2% in 2012, resulting in 20,000 and 30,000 jobs, respectively. The 2011 numbers were revised down slightly because of the Japan earthquake, persistently high gas prices and other factors.
But jobs were the main issue.
"We will not get real, meaningful recovery without significant job growth increases," Esmael Adibi, director of the A. Gary Anderson Center of Economic Research at Chapman told a record audience of 800 at the Hilton Orange County in Costa Mesa.
Some areas, such as white collar management positions and health care, showed modest promise in the forecast.
The sectors with the strongest gains predicted for 2012 were professional and business services, 3.2%; education and health services, 2.8%; and leisure and hospitality, 2.8%.
Adibi said the high cost of living in Orange County and California, negative equity in many homes and California's high-tax climate are factors that could hold job growth and consumer spending at bay.
However, he said, roughly 90% of those who want to work have jobs, even though media reports focus on the tenth of the population that is officially unemployed. Unemployment is 9.1% nationwide, 11.9% in California's and 8.6% in Orange County.
Those who kept working during the hard times should help lead consumer spending, buying flat screen TVs they've wanted and replacing older cars, Adibi said.
"Once a recession is over, there is this feeling of, 'I survived,'" Adibi said. "Consumers go out and satisfy all those pent up demands."
Californians showed increasing consumer confidence from the third quarter of 2009 through 2010, but that confidence dipped in the first quarter of 2011 although, according to the report.
There are hurdles, namely high gas prices and a soft housing market, said Chapman President James L. Doti.
"If you have a drop in housing prices, you have a negative wealth effect," Doti explained. "A negative wealth effect leads to a drop in consumer spending and more foreclosures. It is a vicious circle."
Home prices are predicted to decline 3.9% in Orange County and 4.4% statewide through this year with almost no change in 2012.
Statewide there is also a large number of shadow inventory, troubled homes not yet on the market, which is expected to remain for several years.
"We're going to be here for a while," Adibi said. "The best we can hope for is for home prices to stay flat for a while and let job creation catch up."

An action film shot partially in Wallaceburg last year will have its
debut on Friday, Oct. 4 at Sarnia's Imperial thriller.
Blindeye features wrestler/actor 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, Canadian-born actor
Nick Mancuso, as well as Levi Oliver, who is from Petrolia.
The film shot many of its action sequences in Wallaceburg's industrial
park and along the river.
Tickets for the debut are $18 and it will be a fundraiser for the United
Way. Tickets may be ordered by telephone. The theatre holds 600 people.
Tickets are also available for the after-movie social, which Piper plans to
attend and are an extra $10.
A clip from the movie and other information about the film can be viewed
at www.blindeyemovie.com.
While Blindeye will be making its debut on the big screen, the executive
producers say it is a straight to DVD feature. Leo Stathakis says, "It is
being sold at various film festivals around the world." He adds, "Cable is
also a big market. There are hundreds of cable companies around the world."
Gerry Lee, the film's other executive producer, praised the community of
Wallaceburg for the cooperation they received in doing filming here. "We got a
lot of bang for our buck," he says.
Both men praised Councillor Chip Gordon, who helped arrange the
Wallaceburg shoot.
Gordon says, "For the community, I could never say 'no' to anything,"
adding, "They (the film's crew) spend money in the community."
Gordon adds he hopes the Blindeye experience will encourage more work in
town by the producers, as well as other movie production companies. He also
mentioned the success Pontiac had shooting a commercial in Wallaceburg a
couple of years ago.
"I can see the potential of getting recognized," says Gordon. "You never
know what the future is going to bring."
Gordon says he is arranging for a bus from Wallaceburg for people to
attend the Sarnia debut. While details have yet to be worked out, he is asking
anyone who is interesting in taking the bus trip to call him at 519-627-4733.

One last thought about not-so-healthy eating and drinking habits. It's one thing to like junk food outside the gym, but it's another to eat it inside. I can barely stand to watch fast food commercials on television while I'm sweating on the elliptical, let alone think about eating it there. Take a look around your gym though. Your members (especially your New Year's resolution newbies that you may not know so well) may think they are doing healthy things inside your doors, but in reality they may be unknowingly sabotaging their efforts.
When I taught group exercise in college, I couldn't count the number of times I'd see students leave the university recreation center and immediately light up. Still covered in sweat, they'd smoke right in front of the automatic doors. I used to think, how could that girl run 6 miles and then smoke? Doesn't that seem counterproductive?
Nowadays, I see the novice exerciser who thinks he or she is being healthy by switching from soda to diet soda — and drinking it in his or her Big Gulp cup while on the treadmill. Sorry, guy, but just because it says "diet" doesn't mean it's good for you.
What about the other novice (and sometimes a non-novice) gulping down a quart of some sports drink while he tries to burn fat during a leisurely 30-minute walk on the treadmill? Buddy, you're electrolytes are going to be fine — you're hardly sweating. And I hate to tell him, but he's drinking way more calories than he's burning.
Then there are the beefy guys and gals that actually work out long and hard enough to need a sports drink, but instead drink some chalky, fluorescent-colored liquid with an ingredients label that I can't pronounce but that will help them become He-Men — they hope.
Finally, you have your candy bar consumers and your nutrition bar connoisseurs. As players in the fitness world, we know post-recovery nutrition is important. After a workout the body needs a nice mix of carbs and protein to help fuel the body for the next round of exercise. However, I'm not so sure the RDs in our clubs meant Snickers and nachos at Taco Bell. After teaching group exercise classes, I'd walk in the locker room and see ladies scarfing down fast food or consuming one of those high-priced "nutrition bars" or even candy bars. While I'm sure those foods do have a nice mix of carbs and protein, I'm not really sure they fit in with a healthy lifestyle when you eat them three times a week. I think the RDs would back me up on this.
Here's the big question though — do your members know they're sabotaging themselves, or are they indulging in foods they think they've earned through exercise? Or, in the case of smoking, are they having trouble quitting? There's no doubt that by working out your members are healthier, and you're happy that they keep coming back. But, could we do something to help them with their unhealthy behaviors? Maybe it comes in the form of offering nutrition consultations; maybe it comes in the form of posting a few eye-catching posters that show good pre- and post-exercise snacks; or maybe it's fliers on the pros and cons of sports drinks vs. water. Whatever the case, it is an issue worth addressing because members who are nutritionally solid see better results.
When it comes to eating, many of the high-calorie snacks (or meals) negate the effect of a good workout — especially if you're trying to lose weight, which many of our members are trying to do. Now, I'm no nutrition expert, but I think that's something to chew on.

Would you like to make a fun early easter project with me? It's quick and it's simple and I think a bunch of these would look so cool on the Easter breakfast table don't you?
All you need is scraps of white cotton, I used Kona snow for mine, and a small piece of yellow fabric for the yolk, a scrap of batting and thread.
Frying the egg:
I started with a very rough sketch as you can see, that's just the way I work. You don't have to be able to draw just trace out a curved ovalish shape on a piece of paper, go round and round as often as you need it really doesn't have to be perfect. My fried eggs don't look perfect and that's exactly the look we're after ;-)
Next cut out your paper egg, trace it onto your fabric and cut out your fabric pieces. I just layered the top, wadding and bottom fabrics, traced the egg on the top and cut out the whole sandwich in one go. But you can do them one by one if you like, it's just quicker my way :-)
Next trace your egg yolk on a scrap of yellow fabric, I used a small bowl for this {approx 2 1/2 " diameter} and cut out your circle.
There are many ways to applique, I chose to do needle turn applique for the simple reason I ran our of 'heat n bond' {or whatever that's called in your neck of the woods!} Feel free to applique the yolk wichever way you prefer!
So first step is to baste your circle about 1/4" from the edge, I eyeballed it.
The next part was a little tricky to photograph with only one pair of hands, but you use your needle to turn under the seam allowance pushing it up to the line where you've just basted.
It is really not as difficult to do as it may sound in the explanation. The basting line is so very helpful in maintaining the circular shape. Just use the length of your needle{ and your fingers} to turn under the raw edge up till this line, little by little as you're stitching the yolk down.
All done? just remove your basting thread
Make your egg sandwich {top piece of fabric with yolk, batting and bottom piece of fabric} and machine quilt in the ditch around your yolk
I finished the raw edges by stitching a 1/4 seam all around and then zig zag stitch twice, so quick simple!

The quilt was completely hand-stitched and hand-quilted by my great-great Aunt Margaret McGuire Underwood. I do not know when she quilted it, but it was prior to her death in 1995. My great-grandfather, Clifton White, bought his sister-in-law's quilt at an estate sale for $300 and gave it to my grandmother. I do not know if Margaret worked from a pattern or designed it herself, but I do know that the hand quilting is so good that one could confuse it with machine work. I envy her skill.
I am so very proud of my quilt. I wish that I had been a little older, and more mature, when I knew Margaret so that I could have learned quilting skills from her. No one creates such a beautiful thing without passion and I look forward to applying that passion to my own quilting. I appreciate her inspiration.

Wizards' Arenas suspended indefinitely as new details emerge in gun incident
Thursday, January 7, 2010
National Basketball Association Commissioner David Stern suspended Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas indefinitely without pay Wednesday, saying a gun incident in the Wizards' locker room last month and Arenas's behavior since had led him to conclude "that he is not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game."
Stern's action, announced in a scathing statement issued from his office in New York, cast into doubt the future career of one of Washington's most colorful athletes who once delighted fans with his all-star play but has been seeking to regain his form this year after missing most of the past two seasons with a knee injury.
It also came as new details emerged about the locker-room confrontation between Arenas and Javaris Crittenton, a Wizards teammate, on Dec. 21 that suggest a potentially far more volatile incident than was originally reported by Arenas to team officials.
The two players had been arguing during a card game on the Wizards' flight back from Phoenix Dec. 19, and the dispute spilled into the team locker room at Verizon Center before practice two days later. Arenas has acknowledged bringing his handguns to the arena and displaying them in the locker room that morning in what he maintained was a playful gesture aimed at his teammate.
According to two first-hand accounts of the confrontation, Crittenton responded to Arenas's action -- which included laying the four unloaded weapons in Crittenton's cubicle with a note that read, "Pick One" -- by brandishing his own firearm, loading the gun and chambering a round.
Two of the five people in the room that morning, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Arenas had originally not disclosed Crittenton's action to protect the little-used guard from prosecution and had told Crittenton he would assume full responsibility for the actions of both players that day.
In a two-hour interview with police and federal prosecutors Monday, Arenas, in his version of the story, spoke of Crittenton's loaded gun, a person with knowledge of Arenas's testimony said.
Mark Bartlestein, Crittenton's agent, declined to comment. Crittenton, in a series of text messages responding to a request for comment, said the account provided by the witnesses was "false."
"I have done nothing wrong. Let the investigation process take its course and you will see that," he said. "My name is dying in this situation."
Crittenton has been injured all season and has yet to play in a game. Arenas signed a six-year, $111 million contract in July 2008, $80 million of which remains after this season.
Neither the NBA nor the Wizards would comment Wednesday on the depth of Crittenton's involvement. But officials from both the team and the league, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they had heard the version of the story told by people who witnessed the altercation.
"We still don't know all the details yet," a senior Wizards official said. "That's just one version of the story we heard."

The last time I tried them (a year or so ago) they were much less stable than vmware. That may have improved at this point. The other advantage to vmware is its really excellent user interface. I love vmware workstation, and I love the (almost identical) server interface as well). It makes configuring/install vms completely painless, and the server package has some really cool stuff like the ability to be remote/script controlled so you can shut down a VM, rsync a perfect copy for a backup or clone to run on another server, and reboot the VM all without being there. The only reason I can think of to prefer the free ones to vmware is the price, and the general karmic goodness of using open vs closed source. But most of my use of vmware is professional or semiprofessional and I'm too busy to have time to mess with or participate in the resolution of bugs in the OS versions. If/when they're stable and userspace usable, I might try them again for my personal use but for a client with expensive downtime I really do like vmware at this point BOTH for its support and stability AND for the fact that it works very very well. Year+ uptime is not unreasonable if that's something you want, up except when performing maintenance or the kind of backup described above. >> via yum and he could take the office desktop by storm. Secure windows >> -- run from inside linux! > > I'm not so sure about that - why would VMed windows be more secure? > my understanding is that the thing that makes windows vulnerable is the hooks > that make windows integration work. and it's the integration > that people expect, no? Several ways. If you run Windows inside a NAT (trivial interface option), it has no ports exposed to the outside world and linux acts as a firewall, making windows no more expensive to a certain class of attacks than the linux host. Also, you can snapshot Windows (say, right after an install) and if it looks like it's been hacked you can just revert to the snap. In fact, you can snapshot Windows right after a clean install, boot it and run it for the day's work, and NOT SAVE BACK any alterations of its image but reboot clean from the snap EVERY day. Go ahead and crack it -- next boot it goes away and one has to get in all over again, under circumstances where one cannot even bounce a single packet off of the actual Windows client. Periodically you have to boot it clean and run Windows Update etc and let java update and so on and resnap. It helps to use samba or the like to serve userspace, although that does slightly increase average vulnerability. It's a sysadmin decision as to whether users can actually alter even their own userspace area permanently. Obviously if you run fascist and reboot from snap daily, cracking windows is nearly impossible and quite fruitless even if you succeed. But I feel fairly comfortable with Win under Lin even on a bridged network where one "can" see the windows client. It isn't up very long or very often, I use only linux for anything linux can do, and this too greatly minimizes exposure since Linux these days can do damn near anything. I use my laptop install primarily for access to a Cisco VPN (because Cisco sucks and still doesn't support linux worth a damn) and to be able to run/debug a Windows-only EMR client. rgb > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > Robert G.

(CNN) -- Every bit of fully synthetic plastic that's ever been produced over the past 100 years is somewhere on our planet, a leading environmentalist, David de Rothschild, said Tuesday.
De Rothschild, who's about to set sail on a boat made of recycled plastic to highlight pollution in the Pacific Ocean, told CNN's Christiane Amanpour there has been a huge aggregation of small molecular-sized pieces of plastic in our atmosphere, in our oceans, or on our land since plastic was first produced in 1909.
"We're seeing them aggregating ... and getting into the food chain, which is then transferring toxins back into us through the food we eat," de Rothschild said.
"We have this sort of voracious appetite for throwaway, single-use plastics, what I call Dumb Planet 1.0 plastics -- the plastic bag, the Styrofoam cup."
De Rothschild said he will set sail on his boat, called the Plastiki, some time in the next 10 days, depending on the weather and other factors.
His catamaran-style boat is made principally of 12,500 reclaimed plastic water bottles, which are designed to keep his vessel afloat, while the main frame is constructed from polyethylene terephthalate -- a recyclable plastic material used in food and beverage containers and other products.
His aim during a 100-day voyage that will take him from San Francisco, California, to Sydney, Australia, is to find the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" between California and Japan -- a massive sea of plastic trash that environmentalists say could soon be larger than the continental United States.
"What I think people need to realize is that there are five (patches), not just one", he added. "We are seeing a convergence zone in our oceans -- the North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, South Atlantic, and the west coast of Australia."
He said he has two goals. The first is to raise public awareness of the huge amounts of plastic that are polluting the planet. The second is to get people to "reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink" those everyday items that people now throw away as garbage.
Former Greenpeace activist Annie Leonard, author of the book "The Story of Stuff," and host of an online video, said 99 percent of all the materials that flow through the production process becomes trash within six months.
Leonard said she loves "her stuff" as much as anyone. But she wants people to be more aware of where it comes from so everyone can be a little more conscious of all the materials that flow through our lives.
She also said there are great opportunities to help remedy the pollution situation -- in the field of green chemistry, for example.
"Chemists are replacing toxic chemicals with brand-new molecules that are actually designed from the very molecular level to be compatible with ecological systems," she said, "So that we can have glues and dyes and pigments that don't poison the workers or the communities."
Meanwhile, Economics Professor Russ Roberts of George Mason University just outside Washington, told Amanpour that "although it's pleasurable to have toys and have goodies and have a big house, they come at a price."
But he said people should not confuse the desire to get out of poverty and get a better standard of living with being a gross materialist.
"It's a matter of moderation and balance," Roberts said.
He added that he wants a less powerful government, because he thinks government now oversteps its bounds and often protects businesses at the expense of consumers.
"A business that's left in a competitive world, without the government's help, the way it thrives is by making better, safer, and healthier products that use less waste, because that keeps the price down," Roberts said.

Men's hockey final: USA 7, Slovakia 1. Twitter: Goes wild.
It hasn't been the best Winter Olympics for Team USA, with some big favorites being knocked right out of medals contention. The hurt list: speed skater Shani Davis, skiers Lindsey Vonn (unable to compete due to injury) and Lindsey Van (a history-making 15th place in women's ski jump), our beloved pairs figure-skating team (sob, 9th place) — none of their golden hopes panned out. And then even Shaun White, after opting out of "slopestyle," didn't make the half-pipe medals cut. (Even if he did do something awesome after in the process). The L.A. Times described the U.S. team as being in a "fade pattern," with hopes pinned on … ice dancing.
But then Thursday happened. On the slopes of Sochi, a triptych of slopestylists swept the gold, silver and bronze. Thank you, Joss Christensen, Gus Kenworthy and Nicholas Goepper, for restoring some of our faith in Team USA. And then the men's hockey team skated into view, positively crushing Slovakia in a game that had tweeters updating, cheering and even screaming (in all-cap tweets) for a team whose odds of winning gold in Sochi are 6:1, behind Canada's 2:1 and Russia's 12:5 and Sweden's 9:2.
The fact that a swath of the country was enjoying a snow day — if "enjoying" is the word — Thursday only added to the fervor:
Taken in all, the buildup to Saturday, when the U.S. men's hockey team will take on Russia (which scratched out a tighter-than-expected Thursday win of its own, over Slovenia), has certainly now been amplified. Among the #USAHockey hashtagged tweets, many are rightly pointing out that this is one Sochi event that people in the U.S. will stay up in the middle of the night to watch live. Of course, there's also Canada to get past, and plenty of pundits don't think the Americans can get past that team:
Still, we can dream, can't we? When the U.S. women's hockey team narrowly lost to Canada on Wednesday, many on Twitter were already looking ahead to the men's games against our neighbors to the north and west (the visible-from-Alaska one).
There are, of course, other medals and other events and other amazing champions and stories — à la half-piper Kaitlyn Farrington — yet to be created and distributed at these Olympics, but, for many Americans, nothing at the Winter Olympics holds a more honored place in the patriotic psyche than men's hockey.
Blame it on 1980. Many Americans remember this game, of course, but, for those who don't (none of the current players, for example, had yet been born, a re-education process was rippling through Twitter:
What can we say? We are Americans, and we are dreamers. But sometimes we also win.
The up-to-the-minute medal standings have Norway on top, with 13 overall medals, followed by the U.S. and the Netherlands with 12 apiece and Russia with 11.

Eef. Reading this article simply annoyed us. Apparently, the decline of Western Civilization is upon us, and ethanol's not gonna cure the blues. Then again, we pretty much already knew that, at least not at this point. But meanwhile, Lester R. Brown is complaining that this new obsession with biofuels will kill our food supplies. But when the American government is handing out subsidies to farmers to keep them working, we wonder if the biofuel boom isn't both a boon to them and America's taxpayers. What's more, Brown comments on the impact of the biofuel spike on livestock feed.
Well, what if we stopped eating cows? Cows are consuming grain that could be used for fuel and food, and they fart volatile organic compounds into the air, adding to serious air-quality problems in places like California's Central Valley. Finally, he mentioned that the world has 76 million new mouths to feed each year. Most of said 76 million babies, sad to say, will grow up to be individuals that we in no way, shape or form will want to be involved with. They will grow up to be telemarketers. And tech-support people. And retail-management lifers. Car salesmen. Customer service representatives. Few will grow up to become good poets or exotic dancers that are actually truly sexy; generally, people, regardless of race, political stripe, religion or sexual orientation that just really get it. And it is a nebulous thing. Although a reasonable command of spelling and grammar is a plus.
So how about this? What if we stopped allowing idiots to breed? We'd save a ton of money and resources across the board. You know why Thomas More chose Utopia for the title of his seminal work? Because its very definition is "nowhere."

Coyotes Hold Off Jacks In Five Sets
BROOKINGS, SD -- Trailing 10-4 in the fifth set of Saturday's match with South Dakota, it looked like South Dakota State would crumble and fall, but the Jackrabbits fought back to tie the match and fended off two match points, before eventually dropping the set 18-16 and the match 3-2.
The Jackrabbits lost by the set scores of 19-25, 25-19, 25-15, 19-25 and 16-18, and fall to 12-7 on the season and to an even 4-4 in The Summit League. The Coyotes improve to 8-11 overall and to 2-5 in league play.
"The sense of urgency is lacking with our group right now," head coach Phil McDaniel said. "We have change that collective attitude."
Kaitlin Klingemann led the Jacks with 17 kills, Bailey Philippot added 15 and Kelli Fiegen 14 kills in the loss. Shay Birath set the pace on defense with 27 digs, Margit Hansing finished with 19 and Kelly Herrmann 17 digs.
Lexi Fowler posted her sixth double-double of the season with 30 set assists and 13 digs.
Kendall Kritenbrink led all players with 29 kills in the win. Kim Bulaga added 15 kills, while both Tory Kroll and Natalie Walseth finished with 10. Kroll added 16 digs to complete the double-double.
After exchanging 25-19 wins, the Jackrabbits rolled to a 25-15 win in the third set, only to see the Coyotes return the favor, and tie the match at 2-2 with a 25-19 win in the fourth set.
South Dakota opened the fifth set with a 4-0 run and stretched the lead to 10-4 before the Jackrabbits started to claw their way back into the set, eventually tying the score at 13-13.
The Jacks got one chance at match point leading 16-15, but the visitors scored the next three points, capitalizing on their third chance at match point to win the set 18-16 and the match 3-2.

Keith Urban's All for the Hall Benefit Concert Raises $465K
Last Tuesday (April 10), Keith Urban and a host of celebrity acts took Nashville's Bridgestone Arena by storm to play to a sold-out audience of nearly 14,000 fans. The event, the Urban-hosted We're All for the Hall benefit concert, served to raise money for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. This year, Urban was joined by Vince Gill, who helped him land on the theme to celebrate country duos, vocal groups and bands.
"This museum, and country music in general, could not ask for greater ambassadors and caretakers than Vince Gill and Keith Urban," Museum Director Kyle Young said in a press release. "They have such a reverence for this music's history, and are passionate about its future. The first We're All for the Hall benefit, in 2009, was a game changer for this museum in terms of both fundraising and awareness, and this year's show, the third, has again helped take this institution to another level."
This year, the event raised $465,000 for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, rounding out the three-year total to nearly $1.5 million. This year's lineup included bands like Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Thompson Square, the Band Perry and more.
In the middle of the show, Urban received the surprise of a lifetime when he was invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Responding to the marriage proposal of country music, Urban was at first speechless, but then managed to get out, "Thank you … thank you so much. I don't know what to say, but first — yes! Thank you very much to everybody at the Grand Ole Opry who made this possible. I'm shocked. How beautiful for this to happen tonight of all nights."

Our goals are to provide the very best products, installation and customer service. We truly care for our customers and want to make sure that they are comfortable and safe in their homes.
So what is Nest Pro and how do you benefit?
From start to finish our team is here for you! Unlike the big box stores, our staff has an extensive knowledge of Nest products so you can be confident that you are getting what you need. Then we will personally come to your home to make sure everything is installed properly. Our installers will also make sure that you understand and are comfortable using the technology that Nest products include.
As your trusted experts in the home and flooring category we can provide professional recommendations for ideal temperature and humidity based on the products throughout your house. Upon completion of the installation we will enter our Nest Pro ID into each device so you can easily contact us if any issue arises. And by using us as your Nest Pro, you will receive a 5 year extended warranty compared to the standard 2 years if you were to purchase elsewhere.
About Nest
Nest has quickly become a brand synonymous with smart homes. This is due to their revolutionary technology that other companies simply cannot match. The 3rd generation of the well-known Learning Thermostat has been released as well as other products such as Nest Protect and Nest Cam. With these devices you can relax knowing your home is safe and secure both inside and out. And thanks to the Nest app you will be able to enjoy all of the benefits from anywhere on your smart phone.
Nest Products
Nest Learning Thermostat
Nest has released the 3rd Generation of their well-known Learning Thermostat. Be alerted when temperatures are too low or if it seems like your furnace is acting up. Easily see how much energy you save each day and get a monthly report on when you are using the most energy.
Nest Protect
Nest Protect takes safety to a new level. This smoke and carbon monoxide detector will let you know what room it is coming from and where to go. When combined with the Learning Thermostat, the heat will be turned off when there is an issue to keep it from spreading.
Nest Cam Outdoor
Nest Cam has expanded to outdoors. Like the indoor Nest Cam, Nest Cam Outdoor is equipped with HD video, night vision and 2 way audio. So rain or shine, day or night, you can know exactly what is going on outside your house. And with video history you can watch footage from the previous 30 hours.

There are writers who show us the world as it is and writers who show us the world as it is not, dropping surreal events and inflections into otherwise believable settings. The latter group often ends up showing us more about "reality" than the former. This is a large and well-established group: Lydia Davis. Miranda July. Steven Millhauser. Kevin Brockmeier. Chris Adrian. And many others. Ramona Ausubel belongs to this group; many of the stories in her new collection, "A Guide to Being Born," contain elements of fantasy juxtaposed against starkly realistic elements, and the fantastic casts the realistic into relief. But what distinguishes Ausubel from the other writers practicing this near-genre is her expansiveness. Though that quality has its hazards, it hits its mark very securely here, more often than not in an epiphanic way.
The stages of human life, death, or grieving provide the subject for many of the stories here, most frequently birth or childhood, as the title suggests — which means, for this book, the act of being a parent. Ausubel torques these stories in unexpected ways, though, and her parent figures gain our sympathy by never being entirely able to cope with these twists. In "Poppyseed," an 8-year-old developmentally challenged girl grows breasts and pubic hair, to the consternation of her parents — her body achieves the growth her brain cannot. When the girl's breast buds are removed to stop that part of her physical development, her parents find a way to cope with the situation that is absurd, and in its own way violent, but believable in and of itself. In "Atria," a pregnant woman becomes convinced that she is giving birth to various animals. While her extensive imaginings ultimately engulf her experience of birth, making it so she sees a baby seal when gazing directly at her human baby, her prenatal hallucinations reveal a great deal about universal all-too-human fears about what it is, exactly, that takes place during human conception and pregnancy.
Ausubel's sentences are carefully wrought, each one tipping you over a bit with its surreal, skewed stance. While it would be unfair to call her a "writer's writer," this level of craft does help the book achieve transcendence. In "Magniloquence," a recently widowed professor finds himself in an absurd but typical situation: waiting for a speech by a Nobel laureate who may never arrive. After a lengthy blackout occurs, Ausubel makes the experience seem galvanizing and almost uplifting: "A huge river of light washed into the room, whiting everything out for Faustus, whose eyes had gotten used to dimness." The opening story, "Safe Passage," shows us a ship full of grandmothers, headed for (one thinks) the afterworld; when one of them dives into the ocean, Ausubel gives the moment luminescence and profundity: "The ocean is full and the sky is full: how plentiful the elements are! Alice floats on her back at the exact point of their meeting, held like a prayer between two hands pressed together."
To call these stories ambitious is wholly accurate; Ausubel is constantly pushing for her characters to be more, to feel more, to experience more. In this rush, though, some things are overlooked. For instance, her female characters are often invested with the most personality, the most feeling, while her male characters are often ciphers. The soon-to-be father in "Chest of Drawers," as if in an unintentionally ironic gesture, has drawers growing out of his chest, as if to suggest how empty he is. Also, the stories are occasionally end-loaded, as if each story's bulk were an excuse to get to the conclusion, resulting in a mix of workaday sentences with more poetic ones. These slipups don't change the final effect of the book, though, which makes you feel as if you have emerged from a concert of atonal music, every object in the world momentarily transformed by Ausubel's gloriously eccentric vision.Max Winter's second book of
poems, "Walking Among Them," will be published in May. He can be reached at maxw28@yahoo

I made four desserts this week: first, a kulfi, which is a dense frozen dessert made with condensed or evaporated milk, sugar, pistachio, cardamom and saffron;
second, a sooji halwa (a semolina pudding) that consisted of semolina, milk, sugar, water, ghee, cardamom and raisins;
third, a mango kulfi, which contained evaporated milk, cardamon, sugar and mango puree;
and last, a kheer, which is a rich rice pudding often made with white basmati rice, milk, sugar, cardamom and chopped nuts.
All four of these desserts were surprisingly simple to prepare.

Whether a plant withers unproductively or thrives in salty conditions may now be better understood by biologists.
The cellular mechanism that controls salt tolerance has been found in the arabidopsis plant by a Texas AgriLife Research scientist collaborating with an international team.
Complex-N-glycan, a carbohydrate linked to a protein in plant cells, was previously thought to have no helpful function for plant growth and to cause certain allergies in humans, according to Dr. Hisashi Koiwa, lead author of the study in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
"This gene has been considered non-essential or even a nuisance," Koiwa said. "People thought it was an allergen and couldn't find anything good it was doing in plants. So, it was thought of as not necessary for the growth or development of a plant."
However, the team discovered that this carbohydrate may, in fact, be responsible for a plants' ability to contend with salt water.
The team's finding "significantly clarifies" the role of the gene and could lead to the development of food crops and other plants capable of producing well in areas with salty water, according to the science academy's journal reviewers.
Almost one-third of nation's irrigated land and half of the world's land is salt-affected, according to the U.S. Agriculture Department's Agriculture Research Service. Salt left in the soil after the water evaporates, the research service notes, means plants don't grow as well and, therefore, yield less.
The study used arabidopsis, a plant commonly used in labs because it grows quickly and has a relatively simple, well-known genome.
The researchers applied salt to the growing plants and then examined sick plants, or those that appeared salt sensitive.
"We had to study the diseased status of the plant to understand its health," Koiwa said. "We looked for sick plants in the lab to find out why they were that way."v
He said the finding may help plant breeders look for this gene as they cross plants in order to develop varieties less affected by salt.
