Interestingly enough, Manu Ginobili seems to have better statistical showings on road games.
At home numbers:
17.9 points while shooting 44.9% from the field, 4.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists
On the road numbers:
21.0 points while shooting 47.0% from the field, 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists
Tim Duncan's only home-to-road game difference shows up in point production: 18.3 points at home and 20.3 on the road.
None of the other notable Spurs showed drastic home-to-road statistical differences.
This is really inconclusive to me. On home-cooking, the Spurs can better execute their defense-first gameplan. They are a tremendous home-court team so a slow-paced game with an insistence on ball-control and good shots is just what the doctor ordered.
During these playoffs, when the Spurs lose, they lose big. And when they win, it's always an entertaining game. Game 6 in San Antonio is going to be great.

Such is Bombay Bicycle Club's genteel rise to prominence, A Different Kind Of Fix virtually comes pre-packaged with its own hackneyed review. 'After the awkward swagger of their debut and a sidestep of burgeoning maturity in Flaws, this North London four-piece have finally scaled the heights they always threatened to,' reads the imaginary assessment. Disappointingly, reality falls some way short of such an appraisal.
A Different Kind Of Fix is an evolution of baby steps for Bombay Bicycle Club and one which will leave you wondering if Jack Steadman and co are ever going to burst into full bloom. While it's commendable that this still youthful collective have churned out three albums in three years, that grand total is much less impressive when viewed out of context. Standing at the same point in their respective career arcs, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party and The Horrors have already written an essential account of themselves. Hell, if we're playing 'British Indie Band Top Trumps', then Foals, Friendly Fires and The Maccabees may well come out on top, even with a slender two LPs to their names.
Culled from its birthplace on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack, opener 'How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep' is a promising start. Having mutated from its guitar-centric origins with the aid of an off-beat keyboard glitch, it hints at a band ready to raise their heads above the meek, Smiths-indebted trench they have thus far operated in. Needless to say, there's little else like it on the rest of the album.
'Your Eyes' is a more typical cut, marking out a relaxed, groove-heavy sound that's no longer intent on wringing as much tension as possible before the chorus hits. Sometimes, as with the slinking funk of 'Lights Out, Words Gone', this restrained attitude works. On the likes of 'What You Want' and 'Favourite Day', it comes across as an aimless attempt to push an unready outfit forward.
Lead single 'Shuffle' is the best instance of all these tentative stretches in the direction of progression intertwining in truly memorable fashion. "Once you get the feeling it wants you back for more," croons a fragile Steadman in full-on quivering frontman mode. "Says it's gonna heal you but you won't make the call." 'Beggars' and 'Leave It' are also decent enough to make you wonder what A Different Kind Of Fix might have been if a tad more time or confidence had been invested in it. Both straddle a tidy divide between quiet reflection and reverberating crescendos of anguish which simply isn't explored enough across the rest of the record.
It's hard to put the boot too far into Bombay Bicycle Club. For all their imperfections they're still an extremely listenable band, well-honed in the art of smattering their quite good albums with a handful of quite brilliant tunes. Time is running out however, for them to prove that they'll amount to much more than this. It would be a crying shame if they didn't.

For the last few years, I've been a part of the annual ranking of top 10 web hacking techniques organized by WhiteHat Security. Each year, it's an honor to be asked to participate, and this year is no different. Not only does judging the Top 10 Web Hacking Techniques allow me to research these potential threats more closely, it also informs my day-to-day work.
WhiteHat's Matt Johansen and Johnathan Kuskos have provided a detailed overview of the top 10 with some highlights available via this webinar. This blog post will further describe some of the lessons learned from the community's research.
1. XML-based Attacks Will Receive More Attention
This year, two of the top 15 focused on XML-based attacks. XML is the foundation of a large portion of the information we exchange over the Internet, making it an important area of study.
Specifically, both researchers focused on XML External Entities. In terms of practical applications of their research, last month Facebook gave out their largest bug bounty yet for an XML external entity attack. The Facebook attack demonstrated an arbitrary file read that they later re-classified as a potential RCE bug.
Advanced XML features such as XML external entities, XSLT and similar options are very powerful. If you are using an XML parser, be sure to check which features can be disabled to reduce your attack surface. For instance, the Facebook patch for the exploit was to set libxml_disable_entity_loader(true).
In addition, JSON is becoming an extensively used alternative to XML. As such, the JSON community is adding similar features to the JSON format. Developers will need to understand all the features that their JSON parsers support to ensure that their parsers are not providing more functionality than their APIs are intended to support.
2. SSL Takes Three of the Top 10 Spots
In both the 2011 and 2012 Top 10 lists, SSL attacks made it into the top spot. For the 2013 list, three attacks on SSL made it into the top 10: Lucky 13, BREACH and Weaknesses in RC4. Advances in research always lead to more advances in research. In fact, the industry has already seen our first new report against SSL in 2014. It will be hard to predict how much farther and faster research will advance, but it is safe to assume that it will.
Last year at BlackHat USA, Alex Stamos, Thomas Ptacek, Tom Ritter and Javed Samuel presented a session titled "The Factoring Dead: Preparing for the Cryptopocalypse." In the presentation, they highlighted some of the challenges that the industry is facing in preparing for a significant breach of a cryptographic algorithm or protocol. Most systems are not designed for cryptographic agility and updating cryptography requires a community effort.
These three Top 10 entries further highlight the need for our industry to improve our crypto agility within our critical infrastructure. Developers and administrators, you should start examining your environments for TLS v1.2 support. All major browsers currently support this protocol. Also, review your infrastructure to determine if you could easily adopt future versions of TLS and/or different cryptographic ciphers for your TLS communication. The OWASP Transport Layer Protection Cheat Sheet provides more information on steps to hard your TLS implementation.
3. XSS Continues to Be a Common Concern for Security Professionals
We've known about cross-side scripting (XSS) in the community for over a decade, but it's interesting that people still find innovative ways to both produce and detect it. At the most abstract level, solving the problem is complex because JavaScript is a Turing-complete language that is under active development. HTML5 and CSS3 are on the theoretical edge of Turing-Completeness in that you can implement Rule 110 so long as you have human interaction. Therefore, in theory, you could not make an absolute statement about the security of a web page without solving the halting problem.
The No. 1 entry in the Top 10 this year demonstrated that this problem is further complicated due to the fact that browsers will try to automatically correct bad code. What you see in the written code is not necessarily what the browser will interpret at execution. To solve this, any static analysis approach would not only need to know the language but also know how the browser will rewrite any flaws.
This is why HTML5 security advances such as Content Security Policies (CSP) and iframe sandboxes are so important (or even non-standards-based protections such as X-XSS-Protection). Static analysis will be able to help you find many of your flaws. However, due to all the variables at play, they cannot guarantee a flawless site. Additional mitigations like CSP will lessen the real world exploitability of any remaining flaws in the code.
These were just a few of the things I noticed as a part of the panel this year. Thanks to Jeremiah Grossman, Matt Johansen, Johnathan Kuskos and the entire WhiteHat Security team for putting this together. It's a valuable resource for the community – and I'm excited to see what makes the list next year.

In an attempt to not only keep track of my purchases, and to also keep this post from being two months late, I am actually going to add to this post throughout the month! A genius of an idea…..not sure why I hadn't thought of it before. The added bonus is that I can clear up some desk space. I should really take an updated picture of my desk because I have a pile of purchases, a pile of promos, the pile of press releases and then my own notes…..and that's just on the left side! Then there's the pile of CDs that I want to upload into iTunes on the right…..don't get me started on that. So here's November's buying update……
Johnny Crash – Neighborhood Threat (1990) – $18 used: I have been on the search for this CD for about 8 years…..for a decent price. I used to go to this record store from around 1997 to 2002 when it finally closed and I used to get a ton of great used CDs every weekend. This was back in the day when the Internet, Ebay, Napster, and trading in used CDs for cash were all really a new thing (at least here in Rhode Island!). Anyway, I used to scrounge the used racks and I could come away with about 20 used CDs for $100 and they were all Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. You don't know how many times I debated buying this CD and how many times I put off grabbing it because I found something else "more important". Once that specific store closed it's doors, I never saw another Johnny Crash CD. You can get one online through various outlets but Ebay has always seemed the easiest but I never bothered to pick one up because I thought that $20+ for it was too much, especially when I had seen it for $5 used in person. As the years have gone by, the amount of copies on Ebay have dwindled and the price has gone up. I have had this album on my Saved Searches for at least a couple of years and, one day last week, a notification came via email of a new listing with a BUY IT NOW price of $15 + $3 shipping. I jumped on it immeadiately!
Newbury Comics
The Big Four (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth & Anthrax) – Live From Sofia, Bulgaria (2010) box set – $55: Nothing would be better than to see the Big 4 of Thrash on tour in the U.S. but, for now, this live set from the 2010 European Tour will have to be enough. I grew up listening to all four bands so this was a no-brainer purchase for me, the only thing that bothered me was the price because $55 is expensive. I could have settled for the 2 DVD set for $20 but I wanted the audio as well so the 4 CD/2 DVD box set was the only option. Also included in the box set besides the CDs, DVDs and the box is a set of four photo cards (one for each band), a full color booklet and a guitar pick. The price really had me debating the purchase because I can get three or four different new releases for that amount but I reasoned that I was get more bang for the buck with one set. Plus, the regular price was $75 and waiting to use gift cards I will eventually get for the holidays would technically make it free…..but also $20 more expensive. I ended up saving $20.
Kiske/Somerville – s/t (2010) – $18: I have been wanting to pick this album up since it was announced first, because of Michael Kiske's involvement (I'm a Helloween fan from way back in the '80s) and second because Amanda Somerville jumped on my radar with her beautiful voice. I thought the concept was interesting in pairing the two singers and then I read a ton of positive reviews…..every once in a while I get an album stuck in my head that I just need to have, this was THAT album. The album came out a few weeks ago and I had been eyeballing it through the usual online stores but the price always floated up around $20 with shipping…..then the CD got a proper U.S. release and was on sale the first week. Unfortunatelt, the record store only stocked one copy the day it came out and someone managed to get to the store before me that Tuesday! This turned out to be one of the more pricey CDs I bought recently because I missed out on the initial sale price but I ended up with a comparable price compared to online and I didn't have to wait for the mail.
Dio – Dio At Donnington, UK: Live 1983 & 1987 (2010) – $12: It's been a rough time for me being a big fan of Ronnie James Dio and all the bands he fronted over the years, his death earlier this year affected me greatly because he was a big musical presence in my Metal journey of the last three decades. Besides groing up with the Dio band, I became a HUGE fan of his era in Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell and he led my favorite Rainbow lineup. One of the things I did after news of his passing was to listen to Ronnie's collective work even more so there was a comfort in the music. This was a must have live set for me, not just because Ronnie is gone, but because I wanted to get my hands on an official release of both these legendary Dio shows at the Monsters Of Rock at Donnington. I hope that Ronnie's wife Wendy continues to release classic archival material of Ronnie because his music is so great. Regular price was $18 for the 2 CD set so I saved $6 grabbing it on release day.
Helloween – 7 Sinners (2010) – $10: Like I mentioned up above, I started as a Helloween fan back in the '80s with both KEEPER OF THE SEVEN KEYS albums but somewhere in the early to mid-'90s I lost touch with the band. Some of the best Helloween albums have been released since 1998 when I rediscovered a lot of my old favorite bands when I got my Internet connection: 1998's BETTER THAN RAW, 2000's THE DARK RIDE and 2007's GAMBLING WITH THE DEVIL. It just seems like Helloween just keeps pumping out record after record every couple of years, 7 SINNERS is their sixth studio album since 1998. I received a digital promotional copy of the album a couple of weeks prior to the release but there was a problem downloading the album so I never got to hear it! I would have spent the money on the proper CD for my personal collection anyway (this happens a lot!) and getting the CD on the day of release for $9.99 helped out a lot. Regular price was $16 so I saved $6.
GWAR – Bloody Pit Of Horror (2010) – $10: Didn't GWAR just release an album last year? They did, LUST IN SPACE (2009). Nice to see the band trying to take over the world again as quickly as possible with two new albums and two world tours in two years. GWAR are the originators and bands like Mushroomhead, Lordi and Slipknot are capitalizing on an image that GWAR started all the way back in 1988! This was on my list of new releases to buy but it came out the same day as the new Dio and Helloween albums, then I found the Kiske/Somerville album, and I decided that I was going to spend too much money. Money is never an issue for me as long as the bills are paid and the family is fed but it's getting close to the holidays and I didn't want to overdue it…..I bought it anyway! The way I looked at it was that I would come back in a couple of weeks and have to pay the full price ($15) so I would be saving $5 by picking it up now. Plus, spending $10 now or in two weeks still means you've spent $10!
W.A.S.P. – s/t (1984) – $10 used: ever since Newbury Comics opened a store about 3 miles from my house, i never go to the Warwick, RI store anymore. True Rhode Islanders hate going anywhere if it takes longer than 15-20 minutes and the ride to Warwick, with traffic, can be 25 minutes. Needless to say, unless there's other things that need to be done in the area, I don't go down that way. After pulling a double shift at work, I came home to find that my wife was heading to Warwick to check out some holiday dishes for Thanksgiving…..the bribe for me to join her and the kids was Dunkin Donuts and a stop at the Warwick Newbury. This was a good trip because I found a lot of used bargains and this W.A.S.P. debut started it off. A little backstory here….. Back in 2003 when my wife was pregnant with our second daughter, she was out of work and we were cutting as many corners as possible. One thing I started to do was sell CDs I found on Ebay…..once my inventory was gone, I took a long look at my collection. I had all the original pressings of all the W.A.S.P. albums from the debut through CRIMSON IDOL but I also had the 1999 reissues with bonus tracks (the same reissues they keep re-releasing in different packaging every year!). Needing cash, I put the lot on Ebay and I think I scored $100! Over the years, I have regretted selling my original pressings because I think the reissues sound inferior so I've been on the hunt. When I saw this CD in the used bin, it was a definite purchase.
Tipton, Entwistle & Powell – Edge Of The World (2006) – $5 used: Here's a disc that I passed up on four years ago and I have never seen cheap since the original sale price. Back in 2006, Glenn Tipton re-released his 1997 solo album BAPTIZM OF FIRE with two bonus tracks that were actually the Japanese bonus tracks from the 1997 release. I already had the original album so I didn't bother but what did get my interest was this album that was released at the same time. So you have Glenn Tipton, The Who's legendary bassist John Entwistle, legendary drummer Cozy Powell and keyboardist Don Airey working on a bunch of songs that weren't done for BAPTIZM OF FIRE. Originally, this was supposed to be the band on BAPTIZM but the label got involved and these songs, and the lineup, got shelved. So the tracks finally see the light of day after close to ten years and 8 years after Cozy's passing and 2 years after John's. I never picked this up back then because I figured it would always be available, and it was, at $18 regular price. After a couple of years, the album disappeared off store shelves and I forgot about it…..$5 now is a great deal!
707 (featuring Kevin Russell) – Trip To Heaven (2000) – $4 used: I have this rule that if you're going to rummage through the bargain bins, go through all of them thoroughly…..you never know what you might find. I'm an old school record store guy so I recognize a lot of obscure bands from my days as a kid flipping through racks of vinyl and cassettes, I recognized 707 right away. You may remember 707 from the early '80s with their single 'Mega Force' but I remember them as being on Casablanca Records (KISS' label). The band also got some publicity when Tod Howarth joined Frehley's Comet and you may remember singer Kevin Chalfant being a part of the band too. I wasn't sure what kind of release this was but at $4 used, I figured that I could take a chance. Turns out Kevin Russell and 707 have been putting out some new material and re-releasing the old stuff.
Kotipelto – Waiting For The Dawn (2002) – $3 used: Bargain of the day! How can you pass up any Metal CD for $3? I recognized the band name as Timo Kotipelto from Stratovarius so I new that this was going to be some sort of Power Metal album. The album was released in 2002 on Century Media Records so I knew it had a regular release a few years ago but I didn't remember Timo being solo. I grabbed this anyway, taking a chance again, but there was a second copy at the same price. Now the wheels are turning in my head…..could I sell this on Ebay? Good thing for cell phones! Turns out that this album sells for around$5 at auction so there wasn't much upside to buying both copies but at least I got a great bargain! Perfect CD, as if it had never been played. No cut-outs, no wrinkles on the booklet, even the jewel case was in mint condition.
Sharon – Edge Of Time (1999) – $5 used: Another bargain! I've seen this album before back when it first came out in 1999 and I was a twice a week regular at 2 Guys Music in Warwick. That was a great place to get an education about what was coming out on European labels like Frontiers, SPV, Limb, Escape, Z Records etc. This CD came out in 1999 on Limb Music and distributed by SPV so I knew that I had at least found a Metal CD. What sold me right away, aside from the low price, was the gold sticker on the front of the jewel case that described the album as "sharp and timeless Melodic Rock & Metal". That's enough for me! From what I can tell, this was Sharon's only release and the sound is a little dated from what the reviews say. I took the chance figuring that Melodic Metal from Germany, on a good label, can't be all that bad. Plus, I checked Ebay on my phone and there weren't any copies available for less than $9!
Domain – Stardawn (2006) – $9 used: Another awesome bargain! I would probably have to put this ahead of the Kotipelto CD as "bargain of the day" because this is a 3 disc set! STARDAWN was released in 2006 on Limb Music/SPV and it's a 3 disc set including the STARDAWN album, a 16 song best of CD from 1988-2005 and a 9 song DVD titled SEVEN DAYS IN KOREA (LIVE 2005). I never let a nice set like this go: a 5 panel digipak, full color booklets, full color packaging, 2 CDs, a DVD and it's a limited edition for Domain's 20th Anniversary limited to 4000 copies worldwide. I didn't see a serial number to designate which number out of 4000 I own but this STARDAWN collection isn't something I've seen in local stores before. Taking a quick look at my collection, it looks like I've picked up two or three Domain albums over the years but I don't think I really have given the band much listening time.
Black Country Communion – s/t (2010) – $18: I ended up paying full price for this one because I passed on it the first couple of weeks after the album's official release and, when I went to buy it on this trip, the sale price was gone. The sale price when this CD came out was $12.88 so I ended up paying $5 extra but I still felt OK about the higher price because I've heard such good things about this record. You've got Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian…..that's as solid a lineup for a band as I've ever seen. Supergroup? Yeah, I'd say so…..it's safe to say each musician is at the top of the list among their peers. I had this on my list just for Glenn Hughes, one of the greatest Rock singers of all time! The added bonus here is that the CD came with a bonus DVD that includes a video, interviews, behind the scenes in the studio and a photo gallery. If the album is as good as I've read, I'll forget all about the high price.
Halford – Crucible (Remixed & Remastered) (2010) – $11: I picked this up to complete the Halford collection of remasters and because there were two copies, this one on sale and the other at regular price of $15. The sticker on the CD promotes the CRUCIBLE album remixed and remastered including four new tracks but, if you look closely, the four new tracks are really the two bonus tracks for the limited edition of the original pressing and the two bonus tracks for the Japanese import of the original pressing. This was one of those purchases that could have waited because I already have all the bonus tracks but, I was looking for something to buy and the sale sticker was calling my name. All the Halford remasters/reissues are top quality so I assume this one is more of the same. I haven't opened it yet but when ido I will sit there and compare this to the original. Saved $4.
Halford – Live in Anaheim DVD (2010) – $15: For some reason, this DVD wasn't released at the same time as the CD. I picked up the live album when it came out but this DVD came out a few weeks later and really flew under the radar. I could have pre-ordered this through the Halford website but I figured there would be a sale price and I could save a few bucks. The release date came and went and there was no mention in my weekly e-newsletter from the record store and there were no copies stocked in the store. About a month ago, I noticed that three brand new copies were in stock but regular priced. I decided to wait because there were three copies and there was no need to rush for it. A week later there were two copies…..two weeks after that I notice that there is only one Halford DVD left. I wasn't going to risk another week, who knows who would buy it? This DVD includes the Anaheim concert obviously but also a documentary that includes four songs performed in Japan.
Black Sabbath – The Eternal Idol (Deluxe Edition) (2010) – $35: OK, the price on this may stagger you but this is the standard price for this UK import. I'm not usually sucked into buying these "deluxe editions" that seem to be coming out for every single band now but I do have a few but there were some serious bonuses and the new editions were released in the U.S. I already own THE ETERNAL IDOL (1987), and I'm a big Sabbath fan, especially post-Ozzy, but there was one reason why this deluxe edition way high on my want list…..the sessions with Ray Gillen on vocals. Back in '87, Ray Gillen (ex-Badlands) was the singer for Black Sabbath having taken over for Glenn Hughes during the tour for THE SEVENTH STAR (1986). The band hit the studio after the tour but for some reason it wasn't working out with Ray Gillen on vocals…..Tony Martin eventually came in to replace Ray (who went to Badlands with Jake E. Lee) and just re-cut the vocals. The Ray Gillen sessions have been widely circulated in bootleg form but this is the first time Tony Iommi has allowed these recordings to be officially released. Another cool bonus is the two B-sides from the proper album: 'Black Moon' and 'Some Kind Of Woman'. I was so worried about having to order this online that I bit the bullet and bought this right away…..and this was the only CD I bought on this specific shopping trip.
Issa – Sign Of Angels (2010) – $16: This is one of those albums where I heard a track and had to have it. Issa is a new artist on Frontiers Records and, obviously, it's female-fronted melodic Hard Rock. I had a digital promo of the album, downloaded it to iTunes, listened to it once and accidently deleted it! So I checked out the video for the second track on the album, 'I'm Alive', and I just had this idea in my head that I had to have this album! The problem was I saw only one copy in the record store when the album was released and I hadn't seen it since. I didn't want to pay the high import price online for a new artist that I only really new by a video but I ended up paying the same price when I found a fresh copy about a month later. I'm a sucker for female-fronted bands but this is an impressive album, push this back 20 years and it's a major hit.
Heaven & Hell – Neon Nights: Live In Europe (2010) – $10: This is the live CD of Heaven & Hell's performance at the 2009 Wacken Open Air festival on the tour for THE DEVIL YOU KNOW (2009). My favorite Black Sabbath lineup is the one with Ronnie James Dio so I would have snapped this live album up anyway but, with Ronnie's passing still fresh, it was even more important to me to buy it. There's just something about Ronnie James Dio that has really hit home with me over the last ten or twelve years and he has crept up into my Top 10 favorite artists/bands. Doesn't matter if it's Sabbath, Rainbow, solo, Elf or gueat appearances, I just have had a need over the last decade or so to collect all things Dio. Now that he's gone, I want even more Dio music. Anyway, I saw this tour in Boston the same summer so it's a nice way to re-live a great show. Saved $5 on the CD…..there was also a DVD released the same day.
Firewind – Days Of Defiance (2010) – $12: With Gus G. touring as Ozzy's new guitarist, I completely forgot that a new Firewind album was coming out! Newbury Comics didn't forget because there were at least ten copies available all with nice sale tags. I have a couple of Firewind CDs so I put this on my list and ended up going back and picking this up right away instead of waiting another week. You know what your getting with Firewind…..European Power Metal and excellent guitar work from Gus G. Usually I don't get too excited over a new Firewind album but I must have had a Gus G. hangover after seeing Ozzfest and re-visiting the Dream Evil album that was released earlier in the year. Gus G. is having a pretty good year in 2010! I'll tell you what sold me on picking this up right away…..there was something else released the same day that wasn't in stock when I got to the record store so I spent the money I had on Firewind and still saved $4, regular price was $16. And that item was…..
Heaven & Hell – Neon Nights: Live In Europe DVD (2010) – $10: The DVD version of the new Heaven & Hell live album was released the same day as Firewind but the store only stocked two copies of the DVD and I got to the store an hour after it opened so I missed out. I got the CD no problem, there were plenty of copies of that available but the DVD is what I really wanted. I wanted to see the show one more time because I had seen the Boston tour stop and it was a great show. I had the guy at the counter check the next delivery date, which was the next day, so I had it reserved. Show up the next day and the DVD didn't come in, only more live CDs so my pal at the counter took my name and number and promised me a copy ASAP. Another 24 hours and I get a phone call from the store that my DVD is in so i made my third trip to the record store in two days for one DVD…..at least I got it and saved $5 in the process, regular price was $15.
David 'Rock' Feinstein – Bitten By The Beast (2010) – $10: And the Ronnie James Dio releated releases keep on coming! David 'Rock' Feinstein is Dio's cousin and was in early Dio bands like Ronnie & The Prophets and Elf with RJD but you might remember Feinstein best from his days with The Rods. I remembered reading a year or so ago that Feinstein was working on two new albums: a solo album and a new Rods album both with performances from Ronnie. The album was going to be released by Ronnie and Wendy Dio's label, Niji Entertainment, and Ronnie not only performed a song, 'Metal Will never Die', he helped Feinstein mix and master the album before his death. I probably would have picked this up eventually but because of Ronnie's death, the Dio radar is up and I have to have more Dio related music. Picked this up on sale for $10, regular price was $14, so I saved $4.
Yngwie Malmsteen – Relentless (2010) – $12: Can anyone tell me why Yngwie has to release new albums so close to the end of the year? He did the same thing with his last record a couple years ago and I totally missed it! Anyway, I'm a Malmsteen fan all the way back to Steeler and Alcatrazz so I usually buy Yngwie's new records but I wasn't going to initially because I was sent a digital promo…..or so I thought. I get a lot of promos, mostly digital downloads and, if I like the band or album, I usually go buy it because I'm a collector. I got an email from Yngwie's promotional people offering a digital copy of the album for review but, when I followed the links, I got a digital stream that wasn't downloadable. I like to download this stuff into my iPod and listen to these album's on the go but I was chained to my computer to hear RELENTLESS. Now I get the whole priacy thing and I don't question an artist from trying to avoid it but it was just an inconvenience…..so I didn't bother with it. I even forgot the album was released! I happened to see it when I grabbed the Feinstein CD and noticed the good sale price, regular price was $18. I didn't want to pay such a high price knowing that I would end up grabbing this eventually so i bought it and saved $6. By the way, Tim 'Ripper' Owens is back on the vocals.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced on Monday that the United Nations will recognize all same-sex marriages of staff members at the world body.
Previously, a staff member's personal status was determined by the laws of their country of nationality, said U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq. But now the United Nations will recognize all same-sex couples married in a country where it is legal, regardless of their nationality.
"The Secretary-General said human rights are at the core of the mission of the United Nations," Haq said. "He's proud to stand for greater equality for all staff. He also calls on all members of the U.N. family to unite in rejecting homophobia."
There are some 43,000 U.N. staff members around the world. Haq said the new policy came into effect on June 26. According to Human Rights Watch, same-sex marriage is legal in some 17 countries, as well as parts of Mexico and the United States.

COLUMBUS -- The Ohio House last week adopted the rules that will guide its sessions and deliberations over the next two years.
Rule 123, near the end of the resolution, is worth a read. It notes, "Communications devices prohibited on House floor."
More pointedly, it reads, "No telephones or other electronic communication devices (except for those used by the House in conducting its business) may be used on the floor of the House of Representatives during session for communication with persons inside or outside the hall of the House, unless authorized by the Speaker."
It's a funny rule, given the increasing use of smart phones in society in general. Try walking through a store without bumping into someone staring zombie-like at the screen in their hand.
Lawmakers are no different (except, generally speaking, for the zombie-like part). Many have their phones in hand during sessions. Some send messages over social networking sites updating followers about legislative activities.
Rep. Jack Cera, a Democrat from Bellaire, brought the issue to light during the debate on the House rules.
"It's used a lot," he said. "And if we're going to have that in the rule, I guess I'm saying to the sponsor, should we take that out of the rules or punish our members like they do in high school and remove their electronic devices from them?"
(It's not the first time the question has been asked. The issue was a topic of public debate several years back, in the midst of the Senate Bill 5 debate, after one lawmaker posted a comment online in the middle of Gov. Ted Strickland's State of the State address.)
During last week's session, Rep. Matt Huffman, a Republican from Lima, held up his phone and jokingly asked whether he could check his email before answering Cera's question.
But humor aside, he said, there's good reason for the rule. Majority and minority caucus leaders do not want to see published photographs of their members playing Solitaire or viewing inappropriate images in the midst of legislative debates.
And no one wants to get caught up in a scandal involving deep-pocketed campaign contributors sending text messages to lawmakers telling them how to vote on bills being considered on the floor.
"If we're going to change it, we have to understand the ramifications of it," Huffman said.
On the flip side, Huffman called smart phones important communications devices that he and others have used to contact aides or gather information.
"I think it's something that needs to be managed and not abused," Huffman said. "... If we want a hard-line enforcement of that, it could be difficult for everyone."
Such issues are not a problem for Republican House Speaker Bill Batchelder, whose public service stretches back decades.
"The Speaker has no knowledge whatsoever of any electronic devices," Batchelder joked during last week's session. "Light switches, that's it."

Best Bizarre Statues Or Public Art In Los AngelesAs you walk the streets of any city, you are bound to find pieces of public art meant to beautify the area with culture and a story. Some of those art pieces are self-explanatory: the bust of a founding citizen or the likeness of a prolific writer, for example. Others take a little staring into and perhaps the reading of their dedication plaques to understand them. Then, there are those sculptures that make one wonder just what was going on inside of the artist's mind. Following are five of the latter; five odd pieces of art placed throughout Los Angeles that, once you get to know them, become beautiful and full of meaning.

Landowners say pipeline siting law violates the Constitution. State says suit should be thrown out because landowners have no right to make the challenge.
Nebraska landowners who helped doom TransCanada's plan to build its Keystone XL pipeline through the Sandhills say their state is trying to rubber-stamp the project by using a law that loosens environmental and eminent domain protections.
So they're taking legal action.
Randy Thompson, Susan Luebbe and Susan Dunavan challenged Nebraska's controversial "pipeline siting" law in a lawsuit, claiming that it violates the state Constitution. The suit, filed in May, is against Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman, the state treasurer and the director of the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
Although the State Department has final say on whether to approve the Keystone XL's northern leg because it crosses a national border, Nebraska regulators are largely responsible for determining whether the pipeline's route through the state is safe to people and the environment. TransCanada's revised path avoids the fragile Sandhills, but it still crosses the Ogallala aquifer, a crucial water source for Nebraskans.
The pipeline siting law, which took effect in April, allows TransCanada and other companies to skirt a rigorous environmental assessment by going through the DEQ, and not through the state's stricter Public Service Commission.
The law also gives Heineman—who supports the pipeline—ultimate authority to approve or reject the Nebraska route. And it lets TransCanada confiscate private land for Keystone XL construction before it's federally approved. The landowners want the law declared unconstitutional and void for giving the governor "unlawful" authority over pipelines and their private property.
But it's still unclear if the case will be allowed to proceed.
During a hearing on Sept. 14, lawyers from the Nebraska Attorney General's office argued that the suit should be thrown out. They said landowners have no right to challenge the $2 million pipeline review process because it isn't being funded by taxpayers.
A judge from Lancaster County District Court is expected to rule on the state's motion to dismiss within the next few weeks.
The offices of the governor, the treasurer and the DEQ all directed questions about the lawsuit to the Nebraska Attorney General's office, which did not respond to requests for information.
Brian Jorde, one of the lawyers representing the landowners, told InsideClimate News he was "hopeful" his clients would get their day in court. The landowners "are essentially speaking on behalf of all Nebraskans," he said. "And if people who are taxpayers—who are landowners—can't [file] a suit to challenge constitutionality, then who can?"
Thompson, Luebbe and Dunavan are three of the most vocal opponents of the Keystone XL, which is designed to carry up to 830,000 barrels a day of dilbit, or diluted bitumen, from Canada to oil refineries in the Gulf Coast. They've played leading roles at hearings and protests and helped fuel the opposition that forced Pres. Obama to reject TransCanada's original path through Nebraska's Sandhills. Obama's move forced the State Department to start its environmental review from scratch, which postponed a final decision on the project to well beyond the presidential election.
All three once lived along the path of the pipeline, and although the current route no longer crosses Thompson's or Luebbe's land, they've stayed in the fight to help other landowners.
Inside LB 1161: Why Landowners Are Concerned
The landowners' lawsuit revolves around the contentious LB 1161. The law allows pipeline companies to submit proposed projects to either the DEQ or to the Public Service Commission, which have very different review processes.
The DEQ process requires the agency to hold at least one public hearing but doesn't specify how they will evaluate proposed pipeline routes. Pipelines reviewed by the DEQ are handed to the governor for approval or rejection, and the DEQ cannot overrule the governor's decision. The Public Service Commission adheres to a more rigorous process, requiring pipeline companies to submit detailed information about the environmental impacts of the pipeline route. It does not involve the governor.
TransCanada submitted its plan to DEQ when LB 1161 was passed in April. For now, the Keystone XL is the only pipeline affected by the law.
Jane Kleeb, director of the anti-Keystone XL group Bold Nebraska, said the current law creates a "choose your own adventure" scenario. She fears that companies will always select the easiest course. "[O]bviously they'll go through the DEQ process because they don't have to disclose much of anything, and the governor gets to easily sign off on the route."
Jorde, the landowners' lawyer, said the problem lies not in the DEQ, but in the lack of safety regulations.
"It's very possible the DEQ will do an outstanding job" evaluating the Keystone XL, he said. "But the law as it's drafted doesn't require a good job. It doesn't have standards or criteria in place."
Randy Thompson said he feels "pretty good" about how the DEQ has reviewed the pipeline route so far. The agency has held multiple public meetings and requested information from TransCanada about the pipeline's impacts on soil and groundwater.
But Thompson said the DEQ's hands are tied, because the ultimate decision lies with the governor. "There's only so much that they [DEQ] can do."
Susan Dunavan is particularly concerned about how the law affects property rights. The law allows pipeline companies to use eminent domain as soon as the governor approves the route—even if the company hasn't secured federal permits required for construction. (The State Department's decision is expected in the first quarter of 2013.)
"I'm afraid if this [lawsuit] is thrown out, and we get nothing that's positive for the citizens of Nebraska, what's to prevent any other company in the world from coming in to start condemning people's property?"
In an email to InsideClimate News, TransCanada spokesman Grady Semmens said the company "cannot comment directly on this lawsuit because it is between private landowners and the State of Nebraska."
Semmens added that the company "continues to work collaboratively" with the DEQ on finalizing a route that "minimizes potential impact on Nebraska's land and water resources."
Bill 'Absolutely Gutted' Public Service Commission Oversight
If LB 1161 wasn't passed, the environmental impacts of Keystone XL would have been evaluated by the Public Service Commission.
The commission's authority over proposed oil pipelines was established last fall, when Nebraska lawmakers met in a special session to discuss rerouting Keystone XL around the Sandhills. At that time the legislature passed two bills. One bill directed the DEQ to evaluate TransCanada's reroute. The other bill authorized the commission to create regulations for reviewing future pipelines, other than the Keystone XL.
When the Obama administration rejected the presidential permit on Jan. 18, the DEQ was forced to halt its review due to a legal technicality. The following day a lawmaker introduced LB 1161.
The bill allowed the DEQ to continue its review, but that wasn't all. One of the many amendments made to the legislation allowed TransCanada to use eminent domain once the governor approves the route. A separate 10-page amendment, introduced just 30 minutes before lawmakers voted to adopt it, made the bill applicable to all future oil pipelines.
Thompson said LB 1161 "absolutely gutted" the Public Service Commission bill passed during the special session last fall. "They've thrown all the landowners in Nebraska under the bus, with the new eminent domain thing. How ridiculous is that idea? The governor could give them eminent domain power, and they could start condemning property in Nebraska when they don't have [the presidential] permit."
Records from the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission show that TransCanada spent at least $47,499 between January and June lobbying in support of the bill.
Bold Nebraska and other pipeline opponents lobbied against the bill, but it's difficult to tell how much they spent because their funds were spread out over dozens of bills, most of which were unrelated to the Keystone XL. Kleeb estimates they used a total of $10,000 on LB 1161.
Why the Public Service Commission Is Preferred
The landowners said they prefer the Public Service Commission process because it's more transparent. "I feel like the PSC really kind of listens to what people have to say," Thompson said.
Susan Luebbe said the agency has revised its rules to include specific recommendations from landowners. For instance, the current Public Service Commission regulations require pipeline companies to provide information on the chemical composition of their crude oil—something that landowners have urged for years. This is especially important for dilbit pipelines because the oil is more difficult to clean up when it spills in water.
Two other suggestions—a requirement for a depth-to-groundwater survey and a study of soil permeability along pipeline routes—were also included at the request of concerned citizens.
Funding is another point of contention, and it could play an important role in the court's ruling on whether to dismiss the case.
LB 1161 authorizes the DEQ to spend up to $2 million for its review, which would be reimbursed by TransCanada once DEQ completes its evaluation. This is why the state's lawyers argued that landowners have no standing as taxpayers in this case.
Jorde disagreed. "There are public funds being expended given on loan to TransCanada," he said. "And hopefully TransCanada would agree sometime in the future to pay that back."
"But what if the governor were to reject the route?" Jorde asked. "How eager will they be [to pay the money back]? How do we enforce that?"
Unlike the DEQ, the Public Service Commission can send pipeline companies periodic invoices and charge interest for late payments. "PSC has [a] process for appealing billings," Jorde said in an email. "DEQ [has] no such option. Money is ultimately from tax revenues."
Laura Demman, director of the Public Service Commission's natural gas department, told InsideClimate News the agency is unaffected by the landowners' lawsuit. The commission released the latest version of its draft rules in August and is now collecting public comments. The final regulations could be released as early as November.
Demman said the commission could begin reviewing a pipeline proposal today using its draft rules—if it was asked to do so.

Is anyone else's "longest streak" listed as one less than it should be? My longest streaks in BTS and Survivor are 7 and 11 respectively, but they're listed as 6 and 10.
I noticed on the leaderboard that a few others had a similar issue. Is this being fixed?
It was like that last night wex but as far as I know for today it's all good. 11 on Survivor is good man. I'm trying to get to 10 in BTS for now and than take it from there.
Carl Pavano pitching for the Twins today. Detroit's Cabrera is 1 for 9 lifetime vs. Pavano. I switched to Ichirio. "Big Game" James Shields pitching for the Rays – I've got my fingers crossed.
Case Study – "Breaks of the Game" Shane Victorino had the game off on Friday — his career vs. Marlins Nolasco is 3 for 19. BUT – He pinch hits and goes 0 – 1. Your streak ends if you had Victorino(not a smart pick in the first place for Friday). 0 -1 is 0 – 1 your streak does not advance, it does not matter what part of the game you went 0 – 1. Things can happen in your favor just as well, Earlier in the season I had Cristian Guzman of Nats, he is 0 – 4, game goes to the 10th inning and he singles – now he is 1 – 5 and my streak continued. There is a Ying and a Yang to the game. Skill can help you out but "Lady Luck" also needs to be on your side.
Good luck to all today,
Was his last game off in April at the beginning of the season when he was hurt? This is amazing for a guy who is 35 years old. When is the last time he had two consecutive games with no hits?
(When he was in first grade?) 🙂
Hey dragbunt. What's up. Ichiro hasn't had 2 straight 0 fers this year yet. I have him today too since he is killing The Rays this year so far. Shields won't stop him tonight.
Vinny – Looks like we took the "short end of the stick" with Ichirio on Saturday. "Big Game" James Shields got the job done on our man.
I'm going back to Ichirio on Sunday though. He faces a lefty, Scott Kazmir, who is not consistent. I was at the Mark Burehrle perfect game a few weeks ago in Chicago and Kamir faced Buehrle that day. Kazmair was looking good then lost his control and gave up a granny to Sox Josh Fields. It was all down hill from there from Kazmir.
pperkins and vinman who do you like today?
Just realized that any loss now means no shot at 57. I lost my streak on Friday and counted only 54 days left in the season.
Looks like there are 57 days left in the season as you have to count the games played on the first weekend of October.
Sunday, Aug. 9th looks like the last day to begin a new streak and have a shot at the prize. This is the time to experiment for next year. Call it Beat the Streak "Spring Training." Try out that new system that you were thinking about etc. I'm toying with the idea of choosing one of the "Kings at the Plate" each day to see how long it takes to "crash and burn" using their advice! Would be great if players shared their thoughts on ideas to beat the game.
Yes Saturday was not a good day for BTS.. I had 5 players in mind.. all of them were 0 for through 9 innings… but luckily my pick.. Aaron Hill got a hit in the 10th.. Jeter singled in the 15th…. I switched my pick last minute from Ichiro to Aaron because I just figured Ichiro was due for an 0 for… went back with him yesterday.. my streak is up to 18… still 39 games away… you think your close… but yet you are so far away… hope to Jays can start a run sometime soon!
Looks lke the current leaders are real Hamm and Eggers!!!
For those who went to Zilch yesterday and have counted out 56 days left, there may be hope – a playoff game to break a tie for either a wildcard or division title counts in the regular season stats and therefore should count as a game for BTS purposes.
Another interesting scenario to consider – if someone has a 56 game streak going into the last day and all the playoff spots have been decided- it would be a killer to pick a good player and the manager sits him in a meaningless game.

Chunked and stacked are two words you MUST add to your vocabulary for Spring/Summer 12 — and we're not talking Waffle House. This season offers a fashion flashback straight from 70's disco glam, and it is as hot as ever.
With an added drama of their own, chunky heels are a perfect accent for cropped pants and flirty frocks. They immediately elongate the leg — the taller, the better.
Women say these alternatives last longer since smaller heels are often damaged by cracks and dirt. Chunky heels are also much safer to get around in, finding yourself freed from the dreaded, stiletto ankle twist — not to mention, they just look so [EXPLETIVE] good!
 Dressed Behavior encourages you to try this look, as it will be dominating a large chunk of the year. Here are some of our favorites…

Entertainment Fuse Has Closed
A Letter from the Founder
It all began in 2009 with a simple idea: What if we created an honest news and review website for gaming with a strong community behind it? One that couldn't be bought for positive reviews or influenced to sell pages out to the highest bidder. With that, Player Affinity was born. Over the years, we have evolved, becoming Entertainment Fuse and encompassing all things entertainment, but we've also missed our fair share of opportunities.
Entertainment Fuse had always been a hobby of mine and many others. Because of that however, we lacked the time and capital to really grow and play with the bigger names in the industry. With over 20,000 articles over 11 years, the infrastructure costs have been great. To this date, over $8,000 has been spent from my own pocket to maintain the hosting for this website, but I don't say this because I regret it for one second.
The truth is that I'm much older now and my life has dramatically changed. My responsibilities have evolved from simple rent and utilities to plans to start a family, purchase a house, paying for a new car, and the list continues to grow. With the amount of work I have to do for income and my current financial responsibilities, I simply don't have the time or funds to dedicate to this website any longer, and it is because of that reason that I unfortunately must shut Entertainment Fuse down.
I would like to personally thank everyone who has been involved with the website as well as those of you who chose to visit it. Without you all, this website wouldn't exist. While it's unfortunate that we're shutting down, I'm proud of the career advancements this website has afforded our team, myself included, over the years and for the countless hours they volunteered to keep content flowing.

GWAR to Spew Signature Barbeque Sauce All Over 'Meat and Meet' Event
Intergalactic metal mongers GWAR are holding a mouthwatering event to kick off the latest leg of their 'Fate or Chaos' tour. Along with celebrating the great mass of death the act are certain to spread, GWAR will also use their 'Meat and Meet' to premiere their 'GWAR-B-Q' sauce, concocted by the hands of guitarist Balsac, the Jaws of Death.
The GWAR 'Meat and Meet' event is set to be held on April 8 at the world-famous Grinders restaurant in Kansas City, Mo. Scheduled from 6 to 8 PM, the event is "not only for GWAR to drink and eat themselves into a bloated coma with their legions of slavering fans, but to announce and introduce their brand-new and 100% edible "GWAR-B-Q" sauce."
According to the great shredder Balsac, the Jaws of Death, his BBQ sauce is an essential part of any diet and crafted for the whole family to enjoy. "This new taste sensation is mostly made out of the blood of really hot chicks", explains Balsac. "It was a terrible waste of fine ass, but ultimately worth it because this sauce is absolutely delicious!"
This summer will herald the fourth annual GWAR-B-Q, which promises to consist of the most bone-crushing lineup to date, with box sets, GWAR-B-Q sauce, GWAR beer and even comedy albums rumored to become available at the event.
GWAR will bring Warbeast and Wilson aboard for their two-week string of 'Fate or Chaos' dates, which will launch on April 10 in Tucson, Ariz.

In an eight-year-old case that could harm Libya's improving relations with the West, a Tripoli court will announce Tuesday whether five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor should be sentenced to death for allegedly infecting hundreds of Libyan children with HIV.
International HIV experts have concluded that the virus could not have come from the foreign medics in 1998, but was present earlier.
So the case, say observers, is about far more than the scientific evidence. With Bulgaria set to join the European Union on Jan. 1, Libyan leader Col. Muammar Qaddafi could use the fate of the nurses as a bargaining chip in his country's historically stormy relations with Europe.
"From a scientific point of view, [the medics] are clearly innocent," says Declan Butler, a senior reporter for Nature, the world's top peer-reviewed scientific journal, which has led an international campaign on behalf of the accused. "But there are clearly economic and political stakes here. We have to be vigilant that these six aren't shelved or sacrificed."
Libya has indicated it would offer clemency in exchange for reparations of $13.11 million paid to each of the 426 children's families – an amount that would far exceed the $2.7 billion Libya paid for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which killed 270 people over Lockerbie, Scotland, and spurred Libya's international isolation.
Meanwhile, Bulgarian authorities here would face an unenviable choice: In effect admit wrongdoing by paying compensation for the release of their nurses – women who, in interviews with Human Rights Watch and others, have accused their captors of using rape and torture to extract confessions – or refuse to concede and let them die.
"The position here is, if we pay for de facto hostages, we are politically admitting our guilt," says Emil Tsenkov, an analyst with the Center for the Study of Democracy in Sofia, the Bulgarian capital. "It could also encourage similar behavior in the future."
Yet Qaddafi also appears to have backed himself into a corner. The infection took place at the al-Fatah Hospital in Benghazi, a Mediterranean coastal area and hotbed of dissent toward one of the toughest dictatorships in the world. Casting the spotlight on what foreign observers say is probably the real culprit – the Libyan healthcare system – could trigger public outrage and rattle the regime's foundation.
Meanwhile, the families of the infected children – who are now being treated in Italian and French hospitals – demand justice from those whom Tripoli and the state-controlled Libyan media blame: the foreigners.
"It's very difficult to understand the stance of those in solidarity with the accused," wrote the Al-Shams newspaper recently, according to Reuters. "Who deserves greater reason for solidarity – the children who are dying without having committed any offense, or those in white coats who distributed death and wiped the smile from the lips of hundreds of families?"
The Bulgarian nurses were independent contractors in Libya, continuing a practice begun decades ago when communist Bulgaria sent its medics to ideologically friendly nations, many in the Arab world.
They stand accused of infecting the children in March 1998. But in an academic paper published last week, Nature quoted British evolutionary biologist Oliver Pybus, who asserted after examining young Libyan victims in Rome that the HIV strain derived from West Africa.
"Which makes sense, as Libya has a large population of guest workers from there," Pybus added. The Nature article also said that the virus strain was present in the mid-1990s, well before the Bulgarian nurses arrived.
Since beginning serious negotiations to join the EU in the late 1990s, Bulgaria turned to Brussels for diplomatic assistance in the case.
The campaign on the medics' behalf got a boost in early November, with the signatures of 114 Nobel scientific laureates petitioning for a fair trial involving credible scientific evidence. But the campaign organizer today says he's less optimistic they'll receive one.
"I tend to be pretty cynical, but my guess is that economic interests would trump it," says physiologist Richard J. Roberts, recipient of the 1993 Nobel Prize for medicine. "We live in a world where money has become so important as to be a religion, and everything else comes in second."
Both Brussels and Washington have welcomed rapprochement efforts by oil-rich Libya since 2003, when the US-led war in Iraq seemed to convince Mr. Qaddafi to abandon his nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons programs. But beyond oil, weapons of mass destruction, and war-on-terror cooperation, other EU-Libyan issues are on the table, such as working together to deter illegal migrants from setting sail from the North African nation. Whether Brussels will exert any leverage is unclear.
"The Libyans want to get closer to the Europeans," says Hugo Brady, a research fellow at the Center for European Reform in London. "When very sensitive issues arise, even judges tend to be aware of factors outside their courts."
Washington has been low-key during the affair, though Libyan media reported that US Assistant Secretary of State David Welch, who helped restore US diplomatic ties with Libya, arrived in Tripoli on Friday.
"We have for some time said we think it's important that those nurses and medics be returned to their home country at the earliest possible moment," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack at a Dec. 6 briefing.
In Sofia, meanwhile, ordinary Bulgarians express fatigue with the long ordeal of the nurses and frustration with perceived impotence of both the Bulgarian government and international community to win their freedom.
But opinion on the street is mixed: Some are resigned to the nurses' fate and back the government's stand not to concede guilt; others, though, say the nurses' welfare must be the top priority.
"No one can return these years to them," says a fellow nurse named Vania. "We should pay whatever they want us to, because justice should be served at any cost."

On raising a son on the autism spectrum, progressive politics, pop culture, and coffee addiction.

Direct from the heart
He taught me how to challenge myself and how to take risks.
He taught me the value of making difficult choices with integrity and the importance of doing the right thing instead of the popular thing.
He taught me how to work hard, how to persevere, and how to celebrate my accomplishments.
He taught me how to fail.
He taught me how to rely on other people and how to be a person on whom others could rely.
He taught me that it's possible to be both critical and kind - and that, in fact, it's often impossible to be the latter without also being the former.
He helped me to see that all the world really IS a stage, and he taught me to stand proudly in the spotlight, graciously in the shadows, and patiently in the wings.
I would not be successful in the job that I have, I would not approach parenting the way that I do, I would not be the person whom I have become, if it were not for him.
Rest in peace, Father. The world is a better place because of the hundreds of young lives you changed.
Thank you for making my life one of them.

Milk is regarded as a complete meal, as it is rich in a wide variety of nutrients such as various vitamins and minerals, fats, protein, and carbohydrates. With so many essential nutrients, it is imperative that we consume milk on a regular basis. It could be a glass of milk at breakfast, at night or any other time of your choice. You can also try various recipes made from milk or consume milk products such as curd, buttermilk, paneer, ghee, etc.
Types of milk
Thanks to technology, you can now choose the right type of milk to suit your specific needs and preferences. Modern dairy farms primarily process three types of milk, namely, full cream milk, toned milk, and double toned milk. Each of these has specific applications and their nutrient content also varies. All three types of milk are healthy choices and you can drink anyone you want. Here's what you need to know about the different types of milk.
Full cream milk has a fat content of minimum 6 percent and Solids Non-Fat (SNF) of minimum 9 percent. Calorie content per 100 ml of full cream milk is around 87 kcal. It supplies around 3.3 grams of protein per 100 ml, which is quite good for everyday needs. Vitamins and minerals found in full cream milk include thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, Vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and sodium. Full cream milk tastes great and provides for a satiating experience.
Toned Milk has fat content of minimum 3 percent and SNF of minimum 8.5 percent. 100 ml of toned milk has 58 kcal and around 3.1 grams of protein. It has most of the essential nutrients, as available in full cream milk. However, the quantity of nutrients may be less, as compared to full cream milk. Toned milk is low in fat, which makes it suitable for people with a sedentary lifestyle such as office professionals, housewives, etc. It is easier to digest and does not create gas or bloating.
Double toned milk has minimum fat content of 1.5 percent and SNF of minimum 9 percent. 100 ml of double toned milk has around 45 kcal and 3.1 grams of protein. If you have health issues related to fat, double toned milk will be the best option for you. Double toned milk has various vitamins and minerals and it is preferred for making tea, coffee, and other milk-based drinks.
Tea Special Milk: This type of milk has been specially formulated to make tea or coffee. Tea special milk can be used directly to make tea or coffee, without the need to add water. This makes it really useful for folks who may not be adept at finding the right proportion of milk and water. Tea special milk also makes your tea/coffee a lot richer, tastier and flavorful. Nutritional content of tea special milk is quite similar to that of double toned milk, as described above.
Health benefits of milk
A number of research studies have pointed out to the significant health benefits of milk. Regular consumption of milk has shown to boost our immune system and energy levels and protect us from a wide variety of diseases. Milk has shown to reduce the risk of lifestyle diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Some studies have also shown a reduced risk of certain types of cancers. With so many health benefits, it makes sense to have a glass of milk every day.

As we commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, particular attention is focused on New York and Washington, D.C., where "credible evidence" of a possible attack has elevated already high security, with the greatest focus on airports.
Such attention is only natural, considering the method of attack 10 years ago.
But what about the nation's seaports?
Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Oakland rank first, second, and seventh in container ship volume among the nation's seaports.
Combined, these facilities move about 40 percent of the container cargo transported in and out of the United States. By law, all cargo ships are supposed to undergo physical inspection--commonly by X-ray--by 2012.
Yet, physical inspection takes place only about 5 percent of the time. This compares with a 20 percent rate for air cargo. There are no plans to increase inspections.
Why the low rate?
Department of Homeland Security representatives point to time and cost as major impediments to a 100 percent inspection program. Instead, DHS has a protocol that applies the closest scrutiny to the most suspicious places of origin.
Given the mobility of terrorist devices and the hundreds of ports of origin, is that enough?
So far, the system has worked; no terrorist devices have reached the U.S. via water transport and several plots have been thwarted abroad.
Nevertheless, with millions of containers shipped in and out of the U.S. every year, the 5 percent screening level leaves a lot to chance.
With so much of the international trade centered in California seaports, one wonders about the extent to which the state is truly vulnerable to terrorist activity. Let's hope we never find out.

Columbus Crew Head Coach Robert Warzycha
On his initial impression on how the match played out:
"I think that we played a good game today. I think we were definitely the better team. We could have scored a couple goals in the second half, but [Johnson] made some big saves. And one time we knocked ourselves off the ball. Overall I think we played a very good game. Too bad we had to give up two goals in such a short period of time."
On what happened in that span of two minutes where Chicago scored two goals:
"It's difficult [to say], to be honest to you. It seems that we got disconnected a little bit and we didn't kick it around for the other, and then we had a one on one with Rolfe against the goalkeeper and he finished it. "
On asking his forwards to pressure Johnson:
"No, no, he's experienced enough. He's a National Team goalkeeper. He's doing something right. I don't ask them to do that. That's just Jairo. The ball was going to his left foot and he thought maybe he was going to take an unnecessary touch and it resulted in a goal."
On Emilio Renteria stepping in for Duka:
"I thought Emilio tried really hard. I don't think we got him the ball as often as he likes and we need, but I think he's effective when he has the ball at his feet and when he runs at people. He was good for 60 minutes. We were trying to change the game and get some fresh legs on the field. "
On whether he thought he could get 90 minutes from Gaven:
"I thought we were going to get 90 from Eddie, but he got kicked again tonight, so he was a little slower in the second half. Having Justin [Meram] on the bench was nice and we wanted to use his speed and get something done in the second half."
Columbus Crew Midfielder Milovan Mirosevic
On whether he echoes how the coach felt about feeling the Crew were better tonight:
"I can't speak about us, but I think of course we were sad and frustrated because it is impossible to be happy when you lose. But I think if there is a way of losing happy, we should be, because we were so close to tie the game against one of the best teams in our conference. Today, apart from the result, of course that wasn't good; there are more positive things to be happy about, for sure."
On whether he can explain the two Fire goals scored in a short period of time:
"It's difficult for me as well. There were two fast plays. I will have to re-watch it on television. I will have to see what happens. For sure it wasn't the best moment for us. Two goals in, I don't know, a few minutes. It was difficult to recover from that. Either way I think we had our chances, we put the pressure where we have to, all the time. I think our team felt too comfortable in that way. "
On the team feeling positive regarding playoff hopes:
"It's still depending on us. I think if we play like today, we will be closer to playoffs, even if we didn't win today. For sure it isn't a good result. This isn't a good sensation but I think today we proved we can play against a really good team."
On what the team needs to do to preserve an early lead:
"I don't know. More concentration for 15 more minutes; we have to realize to make it more difficult for them. Like you said, last few games away, we have to get early goals and keep the lead. It's not a good thing for us."
Columbus Crew Forward Jairo Arrieta
On his goal:
"Well, the idea was to pressure as a team. We did that. We pressured the goalkeeper, and he took a bad touch. I won the ball, and beat the goalkeeper and scored. But unfortunately it didn't help our cause today because we lost. We have four games left to make the playoffs and we have to approach each game one at a time and win them all. We have to score the goals to make the playoffs."
On what the team needs to do better to preserve the lead:
"It's the second time that's happened. We need to do a better job on keeping the lead on the game. They tied the game and got the lead in too quickly, so it's a mental issue. We have to work on that. We have to learn from our mistakes and tried to avoid that in the future. Not waste those leads so we can make it to the next round."
Frank Klopas – Chicago Fire Head Coach
Thoughts on the match…
"Yeah, obviously another great win for our team. Being here at home there's a fantastic atmosphere tonight from our fans. And I thought we had a very good start to the game. We made a mistake, we gave up the goal, but I gave so much credit to the team. You know, we never panicked, we kept playing the same way and we scored two very nice goals. We had some opportunities in the second half to put the game away and I think in the end it was a little bit difficult because as a tendency when you're up we dropped a little bit off and then they played everything in the box. Lot of long balls, which is our strength. But in the end I thought it was a great win, lot of credit to the guys."
On his confidence in the offense...
"We create opportunities in matches with the players that we have. I think there are times where we have more of a killer instinct in our mentality when we get in certain spots. I think this is something we work on in the final third in training and we got to keep doing it. So obviously it's something we need to work on and we got to keep working. But yeah, I have confidence in the group. I've always had confidence in the group. We keep things tight. I feel that as a team we will get chances and we've been putting chances. Chris scored some great goals, world class goals. The second one was just amazing, turning and putting the ball upper ninety was real class. We had some other good opportunities but now just from a defensive stand point we have to get better as a unit. I think the attitude of the guys and the work rate has been very good. We made it difficult for them. We really didn't think they had much but I think as games now get fewer and fewer we need to keep getting better defending and know that we are going to create opportunities. I thought the game today was a transition and that was the key for us, just be good in transition in both phases."
On if he said anything to Sean about the goal…
"You know what? The thing is you can see the reaction from the guys. In games you're going to make mistakes and now it's like the next play, how do you react from them? And I thought he was positive. He made some big saves in the end. He made a couple big saves and I thought he responded well. In the game you're going to make mistakes. I think the important thing is how you react to them and you learn from them. I think as a group we felt like there was a lot of game left to be played. Look, everyone is going to make mistakes and I think that the team was very positive. I was too. We just have to move on, knowing there's a lot of game left to be played. So I thought that Sean responded very well and made some key saves in the end."
On Pardo…
"We'll see. His calf has been bothering him. We tried to push him yesterday and he came off and didn't feel good. So we got to see day to day."
On the pressure of facing Kansas City next week…
"We know it's a big game, all these games are. We're excited that there's so much on the line with every game. I think that's the exciting part. We didn't have this in the past and I think the players are excited for sure. The pressure is how you deal with it and I think we've dealt well. We've prepared well and I think that's what gives players confidence on the field which is very important. And look, we're playing the first place team. They're a very good team so it should be a good challenge for us and it's not going to get easier. We're a much improved team. Tthey are also so it'll be a good challenge for us in a difficult place against a very good team. But again, we look very much forward to it."
On the Crew…
"It's a rivalry. It was important for us to not drop points at home. It's a team that's just like us that's fighting to make the playoffs so these games are very important when we're playing at home. It was important not to drop points and to get the win. So with matches like this the rivalry has been there. The exciting part is that we were at home and there's a lot on the line with every game. I think the players thrive on that."
Chris Rolfe, Chicago Fire forward
On coming back after conceding the first goal:
"It's something we've done a lot this year. We seem to start the game off well, give up a goal and then have to respond to that. It's something we're going to have to fix, but it's still a good thing that we're able to come back. "
On creating more chances:
"This is what we've been talking about – as the season draws to a close and we're in the playoffs - we're not going to have eight, nine or 10 chances like we've been creating in the last couple games so hopefully tonight was an eye opener for the whole team that it's going to be tougher now that it's the end of the season and the playoffs are ahead. We won't get the same number of chances, so we have to be good with our finishes."
On his second goal:
"Patrick [Nyarko], again, did a good job creating it. He's done a great job for us this year; this time he came down the side pulling attention away from me and Sherjill [MacDonald] and he happened to find my feet. I took a good first touch and had a pretty good finish."
Patrick Nyarko, Chicago Fire midfielder
On the comeback:
"I think we've found our groove over the past few weeks. Going down a goal doesn't phase us, we know we can create chances. Frank [Klopas] keeps telling us the most important thing in these situations is stay compact and not give anything away because we know with the ability we have we're going to create chances. It was unfortunate we went down 1-0, but it shows the character of the team to stay patient and comeback and see the game out."
Arne Friedrich, Chicago Fire defender
On the result:
"We gave up the first goal of the game, but we came back well. In my eyes, the shape of the team was fantastic today, we scored two very nice goals and are happy with the result."
On his offensive play:
"For me the important thing is that we don't give up goals. It was a little unlucky how we gave up the goal, but the most important thing is the character of the team. There were games this season that we went down a goal and we came back fantastic – same as today – and this is what counts. Now we push forward because next week is a big game on Friday. We're having a good run so I hope that going."
Sean Johnson, Chicago Fire goalkeeper
On his performance after giving up the goal:
"I always just try and do my best. You get upset with yourself when you give a pass out of the back, especially when it results in a goal. You want to be safe with your decisions, but going forward you just have to do your best to keep your team in the game and that's what I was called upon to do at the time. Once again, I was just trying to keep my team in the game and give us a chance to get three points at home."
On the team's ability to comeback after going a goal down:
"We have a strong mentality and belief in ourselves. We talk about it before the games and in the huddle that we believe we're coming away with three points every game. In the first half, after the goal I gave away, or other things happened we knew that we needed to keep grinding, and we always have each other's back which I think is important. When we go down it's important to stay together – we're a close group on and off the field which also helps - everyone plays for each other. Everyone did a fantastic job tonight getting ahead, after going one behind, securing a victory."

I wrote a library item script for inserting drawings of steel sections in several sizes according to DIN standard. Now I want to add a custom property to the (polyline) entity using the .setProperty() method like it's shown here https://ribbonsoft.com/rsforum/viewtopic.php?p=4552.
But when I add this code (line 89/90 in attached file "StructuralSteelSectionsI.js")
there's nothing shown in the property editor and I get the following error message:
Code: Select all
var des = "DIN 1025-1" + " - " + "I " + StructuralSteelSectionsI.hi ;
polylineEntity.setProperty(new RPropertyTypeId("designation"), des);
I printed the content of variable "des" with "qdebug(des)" and it showed the right value. Changing the color using
Code: Select all
Warning: RObject::setProperty: cannot set custom property with empty title or name
worked, so I guess the variable "polylineEntity" is also a correct Entity object. What did I miss?
Code: Select all
polylineEntity.setColor(new RColor("blue"));

I've recently added a facebook like button to my site and it's causing a horizontal scrollbar to appear when it's not needed. It doesn't appear in Chrome but is there in Firefox and IE.
I've checked the created code in Firebug and can't see what's going wrong.

As you can see, on Firefox and IE (possibly other browsers too), there's a horizontal scrollbar when it isn't needed. It's definitely the Facebook like button causing it, because when I comment that out, they disappear.
I've added a fixed width div around the button with overflow: hidden applied, but it seems to ignore that.
I know there's plenty of other questions similar to this, but with using PrestaShop I don't really want to mess around with the core code too much just to get a Facebook Like button working (if at all possible). I was hoping for a solution to keep all the code contained to the "social module" I've created... i.e - just one file rather than messing around with header files etc of PrestaShop.
