July 16, 2013, 11:41 AM — A new piece of digitally signed spyware for Mac OS X uses a special Unicode character in its file name to hide its real file extension from users and trick them into installing it.
The malware, which has been dubbed Janicab.A, is written in Python and is packaged as a stand-alone Mac application using the py2app utility, researchers from security firm F-Secure said Monday in a blog post.
It is distributed as a file called "RecentNews.?fdp.app" where the "?" is actually the right-to-left override (RLO) character known as U+202E in the Unicode encoding standard.
Unicode supports characters from most languages, including those written from right to left like Arabic and Hebrew. The special RLO character tells software that the text following it should be displayed from right to left.
Apple displays double extensions for security reasons in the Mac OS X file manager, said Sean Sullivan, a security advisor at F-Secure, Tuesday via email. "Here, the RLO trick is being used to counter that and to make the .app appear to be a .pdf."
The trick itself is not new and has been used by Windows malware in the past, including by the Bredolab email spam malware and the Mahdi cyberespionage Trojan program that targeted computers in the Middle East.
Opening the Janicab .app file will trigger a standard Mac OS X pop-up dialog warning the user that the file was downloaded from the Internet. However, because of the RLO character in the file name, the entire warning text will be written right to left making it confusing and hard to read.
If users agree to open the file, the malware will install itself in a hidden folder in the user's home directory and will open a decoy PDF document containing what appears to be a news article in Russian.
Janicab continuously takes screenshots and records audio and uploads the collected data to command and control (C&C) servers that it finds by parsing the description of specific YouTube videos. It also queries the C&C servers for commands to execute, the F-Secure researchers said in the blog post.
Based on statistics for the YouTube videos whose descriptions are parsed by the malware, the malware's functionality and the contents of the decoy document, F-Secure researchers believe the malware is being used in targeted attacks, Sullivan said. However, the company doesn't have any information about the identity of the targets, he said.
Janicab samples were uploaded to the VirusTotal malware scanning service from five countries, but that information might reflect the locations of different security researchers, not victims, Sullivan said.

It used to be a swamp inhabited by Aborigines, and then was a run-down industrial district. But thanks to a wildly successful urban renewal program, Southbank is one of the most bustling areas of Melbourne. It lies close to all the attractions of the city, and is beside both the Yarra River and the seaside district of St Kilda. It also an ideal place to base yourself in Melbourne if you are visiting for one of the many sporting events taking place, such as the AFL Grand Final, the Melbourne Cup or perhaps the Australian Open! Everything you might need is within very easy reach, including restaurants, bars, an eclectic shopping district, and the efficient public transport system will whisk you around the city if you want to venture to districts that are further away.
There's no shortage of Southbank holiday accommodation too - beautiful serviced apartments are some of the most popular options, but larger holiday villas are available in Southbank, too.
Melbourne has plenty for holidaymakers, and Southbank has more than its fair share of attractions.
The city as a whole has a thriving arts scene, and some of the best venues are located in Southbank. The Victorian Arts Centre and the National Gallery are must-visits for anyone interested in art.
You should also visit historical sites like the Victoria Barracks, one of the most impressive colonial-era structures in Australia, and catch a show at the Malthouse Theatre – the building used to be a brewery, and getting a chance to see inside is half the experience.
Shopping is excellent in Southbank too – Melbourne is a city full of small, independent retailers, that sell things that you simply won't find anywhere else. Wandering the shops and markets and looking for souvenirs is a fine way to pass a few hours.
Southbank is a very good area for walking, as this region of Melbourne is close to many old-fashioned bridges and promenades, as well as parks and gardens.
If you've spent the day sightseeing, then you may be thinking about flopping down in your Southbank holiday apartment. But don't – you're in a thriving media hub, and there are some stylish bars and restaurants to visit in the evenings. Save sleeping in your Southbank holiday home for after dinner!
There's a lot to see that's close to Southbank, too, including Chinatown, the seaside suburbs of St Kilda and Brighton, the Central Business District and the Neighbours set.
Things can get very, very hot during the summer – temperatures of over 40C are not unknown in December in January. If you're visiting during this period, book a Southbank holiday rental with air conditioning – or, even better, self-contained accommodation with a swimming pool! – drink plenty of fluids and use plenty of sun block.
Winter can be cold, however, with temperatures at night going as low as 2C. If you're visiting during this season, then find accommodation in Southbank that has a heating system.
The best times to visit Melbourne are spring and autumn, when the temperature is comfortable.
If you're staying in Southbank, then the chances are that you'll be flying into or out of Melbourne Airport. This is a major airport and carriers are available that can take you direct to Europe. Once you're in the city, then it's a short drive to your Southbank holiday house.

Voters in East Timor went to the polls on Saturday in an election that has been focused on how to best spend the nation's $10 billion oil and gas revenues.
The left-wing Fretilin party has campaigned on using the funds to lift income and education levels.
The party's secretary general and former prime minister Mari Alkatiri says voters are also concerned about corruption.
"If I win, Fretilin will govern the country and we will save this country from corruption," said Mr Alkatiri.
Prime minister Xanana Gusmao's centre-left party, the National Centre for Timorese Reconstruction (CNRT), has promoted major infrastructure projects such as roads, electricity and water.
The smooth running of the election is being seen as a crucial test of national stability and whether the United Nations can withdraw its remaining peacekeepers by the end of the year as planned.

Bracewell & Giuliani Adds Five Partners from Dewey & LeBoeuf
May 8, 2012
HOUSTON — Bracewell & Giuliani LLP announced today that five partners, formerly with Dewey & LeBoeuf, will join the firm in its New York, Washington, D.C., and Connecticut offices, effective immediately. The group includes John G. Klauberg, Dewey's former co-head of the Utilities, Power and Pipelines Global Industry Sector Group, as well as Catherine P. McCarthy, former Dewey co-head of the Energy Regulatory Department. It is anticipated that they also will be joined by a number of associates.
The partners include:
New York – John G. Klauberg, Frederick J. Lark
Washington, D.C. – Catherine P. McCarthy, David R. Poe
Connecticut – Charles F. Vandenburgh
"We are excited to be adding this group," said Bracewell Managing Partner, Mark C. Evans. "We have been looking to enhance our energy practice in the northeast, and our new partners will immediately help us in this regard. Many of our partners have worked with John and Cathy and their teams for years and have great respect for their work. They will all be outstanding additions to the firm," added Evans.
"Bracewell is a great platform for our energy practice," said John G. Klauberg, who will become head of Bracewell's Power and Utilities Practice. "We will be able to continue our work together and at the same time become part of a tremendously broad and deep energy practice, which will be of significant benefit to our clients."
The group will serve to further enhance Bracewell's Chambers and Partners recognized energy practice and increase the firm's bench strength in power and renewables transactions as well as power regulatory issues. Klauberg has received the highest ranking from Chambers USA America's Leading Lawyers for Business (band 1) for energy transactional work. McCarthy is also ranked in Chambers USA, for her energy regulatory work, and was recently selected as one of The American Lawyer's "45 Under 45," a group of the highest performing women of the private bar under the age of 45.

Auto-deleting Episodes in iOS Podcasts App
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: Have you tried Apple's Podcasts app? Having trouble getting it to auto-delete played episodes.
- Paul (via Twitter)
A: In order for auto-deletion of Podcast episodes to work in the new Podcasts app, you need to be subscribed to the Podcast in question directly inside the app and you must have enabled automatic downloading for that Podcast. The options for a given Podcast can be accessed by tapping on the title of the Podcast in episode view, which will present a series of cascading options—the Auto-Download option only appears if the Subscription option is enabled, and Episodes to Keep is only available if Auto-Download is enabled.
Choosing to keep "All Unplayed Episodes" will automatically remove any episode that you fully listen to within a few seconds after you finish listening to it. Note, however, that this will only remove the copy of the episode that has been downloaded to your device; the episode itself will remain visible on the episode listing, but the download icon will reappear to its right, indicating that it is no longer on your device.
Also keep in mind that you must listen to an episode through to the end for it to be considered "Played" and thereby automatically deleted; partially-played episodes are shown with a semi-circular blue dot beside them.
Further, if you choose to download an episode that is already marked as played, that episode will be kept on your device; since you specifically requested that individual episode it wouldn't make much sense for the Podcasts app to delete it immediately after it finishes downloading. However, listening to the episode will not automatically remove it in this case, however you can delete it manually when you've finished with it simply by using a swipe-to-delete gesture.
Unfortunately, the auto-deletion feature doesn't work as expected if you have subscribed to a Podcast directly within the Podcasts app and you are also syncing the same Podcast from your iTunes library. In this case, although it appears to remain set in the Podcasts app, the Episodes to Keep setting is ignored. Instead, the Podcast sync settings specified for your device in iTunes are enforced whenever you sync your device with your computer, in much the same way as Podcasts worked prior to the release of the Podcasts app.
In fact, many of the new features of the Podcasts app do not appear to be fully enabled for Podcasts that are synced from your iTunes library. This includes not only the automatic download and deletion features, but also wireless synchronization of Podcast playback status and positions. In short, if you're syncing a Podcast on via iTunes, the app seems to rely on iTunes to continue handling all of this. Ideally, you should choose only one synchronization method for a given Podcast—either iTunes or downloading directly over-the-air.
Note that although Podcasts downloaded to your device are copied back to iTunes, this is simply a one-way copy operation; transferred Podcasts are not automatically selected for synchronization, although they will be included if you have set iTunes to sync ALL Podcasts to your device rather than only selected Podcasts (or none at all).
Lastly, it's worth mentioning that in our own experience with the new Podcasts app, we have observed a number of inconsistencies, particularly related to synchronization and downloading behaviour—problems that seem to occur with increasing frequency when combining iTunes-synced Podcasts with on-device subscriptions, even after disabling iTunes sync. Sadly, it's clear that Apple still has some bugs to work out in this initial release.

Great article. You identified are explained every one of the problems I have been having. It does seem Apple wants you to pick one way (sync with iTunes) or the other (sync from Podcast app) but no combination of both.
Posted by Proto732 on July 10, 2012 at 11:23 PM (CDT)
The last few paragraphs refer to things not working as expected and some syncing / downloading issues. I'm experiencing this and thought I could fix them by unsubscribing in iTunes and only maintaining the subscription within the podcast app. But that didn't seem to help. I suspect there's a file somewhere, either on the phone or on my macbook that's screwing things up. Short of completely uninstalling iTunes on the macbook and the podcast app on the phone, then reinstalling and starting from scratch, is there any way to get the app to behave the way I tell it to via its settings for sync and save?

Despite its strongly SUV-styled body, the construction, power plant, and cabin tech of the 2010 GMC Terrain are thoroughly modern, equal to or surpassing much of the competition.
Pricing not available
The 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid provides the most power, utility, and economy available today. It makes a good choice if you need to haul people, cargo, and trailers, but it comes up a little short in its cabin tech.
Pricing not available
Although it has some of the trappings of a crossover, the 2007 GMC Acadia feels a lot like an SUV. Its tech offerings are considerable, but it gets pricey when fully optioned up.
Pricing not available
This latest child in the Yukon family promises a lot, but fails to fully deliver as a SUV or a family car--especially for $54,000. There are more powerful, plush, and/or affordable SUVs available.
Pricing not available
Big, brawny, and boat-like, the 2007 GMC Yukon is the poor man's Escalade or the outlet mall-shopper's dream. Decent interior tech options go someway to redeeming underwhelming performance and poor fuel economy.

In the fight for the small SUV market, GMC is angling for the win by adding a lot more weaponry.
Take a closer look at the GMC's small SUV. The five-seater crossover is packed with standard and optional technology, such as IntelliLink and a new camera-based crash-avoidance system.

Robert Zemeckis' Flight is really taking off. It was just the other day that Denzel Washington was officially confirmed to be involved in the project, and now it already as a female lead: Kelly Reilly, most recognizeable as Watson's love interest, Mary Morstan, in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes and its upcoming sequel, A Game of Shadows.
Reilly may not have been the most familiar candidate for the role (Olivia Wilde, who is set to be in an even greater mass of movies next year than she was in this year, was also being considered), but her strengths are hardly invisible. In addition to her Holmes role, Reilly can be fondly remembered for Richard Linklater's (so you know it's good) Me and Orson Welles and Joe Wright's adaptation of Pride & Prejudice.
The story of Flight will cover a commercial pilot's brave landing of a damaged plane, and the subsequent legal investigation that is set to pin the fault of the near-accident on the pilot (who will be played by Washington and, even better, will be named Whip). Kelly Reilly's character will be a drug addict named Nicole Devlin who becomes a friend to Whip in the heat of the investigation.
Reilly's talents as an actress, though plentiful, are hardly the stuff of public familiarity just yet. However, a project like this, with a director like Zemeckis and a star like Washington, might be just what her career needs to soar.

- Exceptional service this visitSuzeInSoCalDined on 9/19/2014We come to this particular location frequently before a theater night. The food is always well prepared, beautifully served and the wine list has something for everyone. With a special event in downtown Los Angeles, some streets were blocked and traffic was congested. We shuttle back to the theater after dinner and the normal exit was not available. The staff went above and beyond, waiting outside with us to get us to our shuttle in order to get to our theatre on time after dinner. Brilliant. Well done. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service and fresh foodfoodieVIPDined on 9/16/2014Staying in a hotel downtown and decided to give this location of the well-known restaurant a try. Service was outstanding with the manager coming by to welcome us. Whole staff seemed to really appreciate our business and very eager to please. Lobster salad was beautifully presented and a great value for the price. Generous amount of lobster and very fresh ingredients. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his mussels (said they were the perfect size so very tender) as well as his salad. Once we finished our main courses, our server told us to stay put as they were bringing us a free dessert. Comfortable surroundings with well-appointed dining room. Probably the nicest restaurant in the chain that I have had occasion to visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hard to findLAOperaDined on 9/16/2014Once we got there (about 40 minutes late) the food and service were both good. But, we drove around for 40 minutes trying to find the right place to park (US Bank ramp) to get a voucher for parking. It would be good to add detailed driving directions to the restaurant parking to the web site.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceUSC2014Dined on 9/12/2014Great food and service. Our waiter took note of my boyfriend's birthday on his I.D. (we ordered drinks). Later in the meal, he asked us if this was a special occasion. After I mentioned it was a birthday dinner, the waiter brought out a lava caka with ice cream!Special Features:

- Dining before Theatrefish4lifeDined on 8/9/2014Our reservation was for 6:15p.m. and we were seated at that time. We selected that time due to an Ahmansohn Theatre event beginning at 8:00p.m. Our orders were taken in a reasonable amount of time, and the food arrived with plenty of time for us to enjoy our meal. Things became sketchy when we ordered dessert and an after dinner drink. The dessert (sliced fresh strawberries) took longer than we expected to arrive. The after dinner drink nearly caused us to arrive late at the Ahmansohn Theatre. Our first choice, it turns out, was sold out, but it took the waiter an inordinate amount of time to discover that fact and let us know. The initial delay forced us to speed walk up Hope Street to make it to the theatre in time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Monday night was quite in the restlarestaurantreviewDined on 8/4/2014This was my first time at the LA M&S being new to the area and a hug fan of the restaurant chain. Andre "Dre" our server was great, friendly and attentive. He made recommendations and suggestions based on his personal experience. . However, the food was not up to par compared to the other M&S's I frequent. My guest had the ribeye which had to be sent back twice. First it was over cooked, the second time the meat was too tought. However, I enjoyed the seabass even though I could not enjoy it as much as I would have like only as I waited until my guest entree was right.

The waitress was not attending to us properly and continued to apologize, but too slow and we had ask for water, bread, even for the menu many times. Took too long to get our food and I got in trouble for taking a longer lunch. I regret having gone there.

- What's With the manager?VirgoDined on 7/5/2014This is a great restaurant for food, and the waitstaff are excellent. But for the second time, I have had the manager make a (very lame) attempt to turn me away, possibly because I had a coupon for a special from Landry's Select Club. The first time he tried to tell me that the coupon didn't pertain to that branch, even though their address was on the e-mail. Then, last weekend, I went in with a "July 4th Weekend Special" on July 5, and his first words to me were "We aren't really open." And indeed there was a short staff, with one waiter working the bar, and there were (as there always are on weekends) quite a few customers dealing with slow service that was not the fault of the waiters, but of the management.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor startNonicknameVIPDined on 6/27/2014Arrived for my 5:00 reservation on time, and was made to cool my heels in the lobby for ten minutes. The explanation was that only one server was on duty. I was offered to sit at the bar, but declined in favor of a table. The hostess eventually seated me in an area of the dining room where four other parties were already eating. ?? I'm still trying to understand the delay, when it wasn't because the place was busy.
- A good Sea Food RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/22/2014An outstanding restaurant to go after a Play or Musical Show. The drinks are good and the food is outstanding.

This is not a destination restaurant. To be honest, this seemed more like a fancy (expensive) Sizzler or Red Lobster than it does a serious steak or seafood restaurant. The Chopped Salad was tasty, but the steaks were inadequate for the price. We dined before the symphony on a Friday night while many large, loud groups met after work. Drinks took too long to arrive and the servers were pleasant, but the restaurant was insufficiently staffed to properly handle the work required in a fine dining restaurant.

Polya's How to Solve it kind of books
|Share this thread:
Nov7-12, 02:47 PM
I am trying to improve my problem solving skills. I am an engineer and I have a PhD in EE. All through, the only thing I have done is to solve problems. I am familiar with most of the things mentioned in Polya's book.
I am interested in being able to solve the very hard problems that usually appear in the international Olympiads and Putnams. Consider a problem like
"In the plane, n lines are given (n ≥ 3), no two of them parallel. Through every
intersection of two lines there passes at least an additional line. Prove that all lines
pass through one point."
If you know that the heuristic to be used here is that of the solution to Sylverster's problem, then the answer to this is trivial. There is another interesting problem which is
"We start with the state (a, b) where a, b are positive integers. To this initial state we
apply the following algorithm:
while a > 0, do if a < b then (a, b) ← (2a, b − a) else (a, b) ← (a − b, 2b).
For which starting positions does the algorithm stop? In how many steps does it stop,
if it stops? What can you tell about periods and tails?
The same questions, when a, b are positive reals."
Here, the heuristic is to look at the x in (x,y) mod(a+b) and to make deductions based on the fact that it is constant (= 2a mod(a+b)).
My question is the following:
Are there books training you to come up with heuristics to arrive at useful conjectures? In other words, is there a book which gives useful suggestions to enable students to come up with useful conjectures?
Polya describes ways to do that but are truly elementary for me. TO solve problems at the level I have mentioned above, it must be possible to come up with heuristics or tricks using which, useful conjectures can be made.
Is there a book for training students to come up with truly smart conjectures? I am familiar with Engel's book and Andreescu's book. They teach the tricks. THey do not talk about "conjecture making" and ways to train yourself to do that which is what I am mostly interested in. THat to not elementary conjectures but truly advanced ones.
Conjecturing is the heart of solving problems. Please advise if you can think of other ways to train myself to be able to come up with smart conjectures. Also, please feel free to correct me if my question does not make sense.
Nov7-12, 04:48 PM
You might be interested in Polya's two books Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning. Volume 1 is subtitled Induction and Analogy in Mathematics and Volume 2 is subtitled Patterns of Plausible Inference. They are more advanced than How to Solve it. You can view excerpts on Amazon with the provided links.
Nov7-12, 05:12 PM
Hi Petek. Those are good books but I still feel that he talks mostly about standard techniques like induction and 'looking at patterns'. I am more interested in the non-standard ways which seem really enigmatic. Like the problems I have posted. I am curious to know as to what thought process prompted the guy to think of looking at mod(a+b).
In other words, I am trying to figure out if there is a book which can help me become a good "Conjecturer". The non-standard problems in Olympiads require a different thinking and I am very curious to know as to how the kids there manage to come up with deductions based on such seemingly weird observations. Some of the tricks involve
looking at mod 2 or mod 3 of some quantity, looking at a maximum or minimum of some quantity and making deductions etc.
I feel that conjecturing is an art in itself and problem solution is the extension of it in the sense that if the conjecture is right, then formal expression of the "rightness" of a conjecture is the solution to a problem but the crux of the matter is to come up with conjectures. That being the case, it makes sense to get intense training in "Conjecturing" to arrive at useful deductions.
Are there any books which take this approach and provide useful training?

Polya's How to Solve it kind of books
You could try The Art and Craft of Problem Solving by Paul Zeitz. I haven't read it, but he was very successful in math competitions with his students.
Another thing about conjecturing is just having a really good understanding of math and what's going on behind the scenes. For that, the best example would have to be Visual Complex Analysis by Tristan Needham--incidentally, he is friends with Paul Zeitz and teaches at the same university.
You could also try to look into the literature on creativity.
Keep in mind that math-competition-style problems are like 100 m races, whereas what real mathematicians do is more like run marathons.
Nov8-12, 01:46 AM
Thanks for the feedback H. I really appreciate it.
Mason, Burton and Stacey's Thinking Mathematically is a really good book. It has good material on these lines. I read an online article by Schoenfeld about thinking mathematically and even that helped a lot. He mentions one of the things that happens to me all the time. Whenever I look at a problem, I think of an approach and I get fixated on it. On the other hand, when I see an experienced mathematician work on the same problem, it is amazing to see how many approaches he takes in an attempt to arrive at a useful conjecture.
This handicap of not being able to creatively think of different connections to a given problem is what bothers me the most. I could solve almost all the problems from Mason, Burton and Stacey's book "Thinking Mathematically" which is not too easy but not super hard either. The main problem is with problems in the Olympiad where I feel that there is a big need for the student to be very creative to be able to deduce from acute observations.
In the invariance approach, sum of squares of a sequence is constant and so you make some deductions based on that. In another sequence, modulo n = 2 times a constant so deductions are made based on that etc.
In the so called coloring approach, parity of number of black squares and white squares is important. So if you cut off the four corners of the chess board, there is no way to cover the rest of it using dominoes.
The above are basically some examples of tricks. If I come across a trick, I can solve another problem which can be solved using the same trick; however, I get struck in cases where I am not familiar with a trick that needs to be used.
The reason I posted this thread is to request the members of this forum to kindly suggest me sources where they talk about how various people have managed to come up with tricks to solve some tough problems.
I tried to do a lot of research myself and came across this article
where the author says that every mathematician has a limited number of tricks. If that really is true, then I am not sure if my question has an answer because there does not seem to be mathematicians with a lot of tricks to tackle problems with.
Two other books I have recently ordered are
Karl Popper: Conjectures and refutations : the growth of scientific knowledge
Imre Lakatos : Proofs and Refutations
I am yet to read them but I am hoping that they will have useful information for me.
If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it if you can kindly post it here.
Nov8-12, 09:02 AM
Maybe "The Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field" by Hadamard. Again, just a book I would like to read, not one I have read. There are a lot of books that I haven't read that are on my radar screen, since I have looked for them or noticed them.
Nov8-12, 10:53 AM
I just ordered it :). Once again, thanks very much for the feedback H!
Nov8-12, 12:58 PM
how to solve problems by wickelgren is good too. one thing that's different about it is that wickelgren isn't a mathematician, but a psychologist so he has a slightly different perspective. he writes in the intro that a lot of the content was influenced by artificial intelligence & computer simulation of problem solving, which might be interesting to an electrical engineer.
Nov8-12, 01:25 PM
Thanks Fourier_jr. The reviews of this book said that the math content is not impressive at all but I am going to get the book because the psychological aspects might be helpful. I read Schoenfeld's "Learning to think mathematically" where he explains his experience with training students with problem solving. The one thing that was really impressive was his observation regarding how an experienced mathematician thinks and how a novice thinks. A novice tries one line of thinking and keeps attacking the problem based only on that line of attack while the experienced one looks at a variety of approaches and gets the answer.
More interesting is the fact that at the end of the training, the kids who were novice at the beginning started to move towards trying more approaches. He says that at the end, the kids still tried just one approach till the end and then discarded it and the moment they tried the next approach, they got the answer. There is a big element of self regulation involved when attempting to solve a tough problem.
I have an intuitive feeling that "brain muscles" have to be developed to try to come up with different tricks and as many possible useful conjectures as possible. It is contextual and I am sure that majority of exericise problems involve straightforward application of principles and definitions or maybe the use of induction or the standard approach of looking at patterns if there are any obvious ones. But like I said, the main problem arises when there are problems which require a nonstandard approach. For that, the critical thing seems to be the ability to be able to come up with tricks which can possibly help make useful deductions. In his article, Ho Jun Wei says "Do not spend too much time on any single approach or conjecture, especially if you're not sure it's the right one" and he also says "the well-prepared problem solver never runs out of things to try". The link to his webpage is
From this, I feel that the name of the game is to develop "brain muscles" that can systematically and tactfully fish out different observations based on which, useful conjectures can be formulated.
I wish there was a book which would throw more light on how to develop the "useful conjecturing brain muscles". As another wise man told me in his PM, practice is probably the only way to develop those brain muscles.:)

After the card game that took place in the Bearagroves one day,
One of the Bully Frogs decided to come to our Troll pond, to play.
He was such a cute thing, though rather large for a Bully frog.
Still, he was most particular in what he ALWAYS repeatedly said…
Each day that summer, as I came out to give daily lessons to the Trolls.
The Bully Frog would take a look at me, and simply say… W-I-E-R-D.
By the end of the lessons, the baby orphan Troll, was usually fast asleep.
So as I'd tucked his blanket around him, with his club, upon which to teethe…
The Bully frog would come up, to look at me, and simply said… W-I-E-R-D.
You're welcome to join the lessons, I replied each and every day.
But the response was always the same, W-I-E-R-D, before he hopped away.
Never did I ever hear, the normal sounds, that come from Bully frogs…
Till one day, I found more than three-dozen frogs sitting at the Troll pond.
Shocked at the number, I ask if they wanted to join the lessons, again…
But, up jumped a frog, which looked up at me and again exclaimed, W-I-E-R-D.
So I turned to him and asked him why, he kept saying I was so W-I-E-R-D?
The closest one, turned and said, 'Because YOU are just SO, my dear…'
'You know, you DO tutor Trolls A-N-D are now TALKING to Bully Frogs…'
He continued 'I went home and told my family, who EACH had to come along… '
'Especially, after you came one day to the Bearagrove like a crazy, wild thing…'
Apparently, I had been seeing a new Bully frog each and every day.
And I had to agree it's a little strange… All the goings on, that come my way.
Perhaps… I really AM a LITTLE bit W-I-E-R-D, as they so like to say…
But now, I can add a whole lot of: 'W-I-E-R-D' talking frogs to that... each day!

DOE to Invest $26 Million in Industrial Energy Efficiency Projects
August 22, 2008
DOE announced on August 22 that it will invest up to $26 million in eight projects to develop energy-efficient industrial processes that will replace current energy-intensive processes. Two projects relate to the steel industry: developing an energy-efficient alternative to the blast furnace and developing a method to recover waste heat from steel reheating furnaces, by using the waste heat to convert some of the natural gas fuel into hydrogen, which provides more energy to the combustion process than natural gas. For the automotive industry, a project will investigate the use of intense pressure waves to shape body panels, rather than employing a stamp. For refineries, a project will develop membranes to recover the hydrogen typically lost in hydrotreating processes, which are used to remove sulfur from motor fuels. And all industries will benefit from an effort to develop high-efficiency industrial motors based on permanent magnets.
The remaining three projects will investigate ways to accomplish feats that usually involve high temperatures, including using membranes to separate water from ethanol, rather than boiling and distilling the mixture; inducing electrical currents in thermoplastic composites to soften them, rather than using heat; and employing electrical induction and magnetic heating to shape and harden metals, rather than using a forge. DOE will invest its funds over the next 3 years, subject to congressional appropriations, while an additional $15.3 million will be provided by the award recipients and their industry partners. See the DOE press release.
DOE's Industrial Technology Program's Energy Intensive Processes Initiative seeks to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency in the most energy-consuming manufacturing processes by developing and promoting technologies that can be applied in many industrial settings. The industrial sector consumes approximately one-third of the energy used in the United States, and accounts for 28% of all domestic greenhouse gas emissions. See the Industrial Technologies Program Web site.

Why This Election Isn't Just About Abortion
By Ben Lowe
October 31, 2012
Ben Lowe is on staff with the Evangelical Environmental Network and also serves as the National Spokesperson of Young Evangelicals for Climate Action. A dedicated activist and organizer, Ben was born and raised a missionary kid in Southeast Asia, where he experienced firsthand the impacts of poverty and pollution. He now lives in a refugee and immigrant neighborhood in the Chicagoland area where he ran for U.S. Congress in 2010. Ben is the author of
Both sides in American politics are currently trying hard to convince their base that this presidential election has a lot to do with abortion. However, the reality is that neither party, and neither presidential candidate, is really going to do anything about Roe vs. Wade.
To be clear, I believe that abortion is a very important moral issue. It is also an extremely personal, painful, and complex issue, in which there are never any easy answers or true winners, no matter which "side" one takes. Nonetheless, at the end of the day, I am pro-life.
... Pro-life and pro-choice candidates run in both parties. Those who consider this the single, most important issue in supporting a candidate can often find committed pro-life candidates in either party.
Over time, however, I've come to realize that, as important as this issue is, our options are not straightforward. In reality, the Republican elite hotly debate this issue behind the scenes. Even President George W. Bush, an evangelical who also included many evangelicals among his White House staff, made no attempt to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Both parties realize that any attempt to challenge Roe vs. Wade would meet overwhelming opposition, not only within American society as a whole, but also within the Republican Party.
So what are we left with?
First, pro-life and pro-choice candidates run in both parties. Those who consider this the single, most important issue in supporting a candidate can often find committed pro-life candidates in either party. At other times, we are left choosing between two candidates who are pro-choice. This may be our situation in the 2012 presidential election. President Obama has been consistently pro-choice, though there are reports that some of his policies may actually end up reducing abortions. Governor Romney claims he is mostly pro-life now, but he's on record countless times as being pro-choice—such as while Governor of Massachusetts—and there have been very mixed messages about his true position on this issue today. It's really hard to tell.
We can work together, pro-life and pro-choice, to support women in crisis and reduce the demand for, and number of, abortions.
Thirdly, we remember that being fully pro-life means caring about the whole of life, in all its fullness and diversity. The same Bible and the same Savior that call us to protect the unborn, call us also to care for the poor, the immigrant, the sick, the aged, others who are socially marginalized, and all of Creation. The same Bible and the same Savior also call us to seek justice, promote peace, condemn abusive financial practices, oppose the bribery of government officials (think special interest bankrolling of election campaigns), and to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
As Christians, no matter which candidates we each end up siding with in this election, I hope and pray we will strive to be consistently and comprehensively pro-life, supporting the good not only of the unborn, but also of the born: the unemployed, the impoverished, the immigrant, the uninsured, victims of disasters and wars, and more, while also being good stewards of our financial and natural resources. This may make it harder to chose who to vote for, but it's time that we become better known for having a vision as big as God's vision, and for voting on a more faithful range of issues than just one or two.

I'm pondering on your line:
"The same Bible and the same Savior that call us to protect the unborn, call us also to care for the poor, the immigran... and all of Creation."
I would not consider caring for animals , other creatures or plants as important, necessary and urgent as caring for people from conception until death. Discuss :)
Psalms 139: 13-16 (NLT)
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mo
thers womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marveloushow well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
Isaiah 49:1, 5
Pay attention, you who are far away! The Lord called me before my birth; from within the womb he called me by name. And now the Lord speaksthe one who formed me in my mothers womb to be his servant
Job 10:8,10
You formed me with your hands; You guided my conception and formed me in the womb. You clothed me with skin and flesh, and you knit my bones and sinews together.
Jeremiah 1:5
I knew you before I formed you in your mothers womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.
Galatians 1:15
But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him
Proverbs 31: 8-9
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.
Psalms 24:1
The earth is the Lords, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.
Acts 17:25
He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need.
Zechariah 12:1
This message is from the Lord, who stretched out the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth, and formed the human spirit.
Ezekiel 18:4
For all people are mine to judgeboth parents and children alike. And this is my rule: The person who sins is the one who will die.
Psalm 78:5-6
even the children not yet born
Job 31:14-15
how could I face God? What could I say when he questioned me? For God created both me and my servants. He created us both in the womb.
In Numbers 5:12-28, Yahweh causes unfaithful wives to have miscarriages because of their sin of adultery:
Speak to the Israelites and say to them: A man may suspect that his wife has had an affair and has broken faith with him,
that a man has had intercourse with her unknown to her husband and
that she has defiled herself in secreteven though there are no
witnesses and she isn't caught.
If jealousy overcomes him and he is jealous of his wife who has
defiled herself, or if jealousy overcomes him and he is jealous of his
wife who hasn't defiled herself,
then the man will bring his wife to the priest. He will bring the offering required for her, one-tenth of an ephah
of barley flour. He will not pour oil on it, nor offer frankincense
with it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a grain offering
for recognition in order to recognize guilt.
The priest will bring her close and make her stand before the LORD
The priest will take holy water in a clay jar, and taking dust from
the floor of the dwelling, the priest will place it in the water.
The priest will make the woman stand before the LORD, let the hair
of the woman hang down, and place the grain offering for recognition,
that is, the grain offering for jealousy, in her hands. The water of
bitterness that brings the curse will be in the hands of the priest.
Then the priest will make her swear a solemn pledge, saying to the
woman, "If no man has slept with you and if you haven't had an affair,
becoming defiled while married to your husband, then be immune from the
water of bitterness that brings these curses.
But if you have had an affair while married to your husband, if you
have defiled yourself, and a man other than your husband has had
intercourse with you"
then the priest must make the woman utter the curse and say to the
woman, "May the LORD make you a curse and a harmful pledge among your
people, when the LORD induces a miscarriage and your womb discharges.
And may the water that brings these curses enter your stomach and
make your womb discharge and make you miscarry." And the woman will say,
"I agree, I agree."
The priest will write these curses in the scroll and wipe them off into the water of bitterness.
Then he will make the woman drink the water of bitterness that
brings the curse. And the water that brings the curse will enter her,
causing bitterness.
The priest will take the grain offering for jealousy from the
woman's hands, elevate the grain offering before the LORD, and bring it
to the altar.
The priest will take a handful of the grain offering as a token part
of it and turn it into smoke on the altar. And afterward he will make
the woman drink the water.
When he has made her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and
has broken faith with her husband, then the water that brings the curse
will enter her, causing bitterness, and her womb will discharge and she
will miscarry. The woman will be a curse among her people.
But if the woman hasn't defiled herself and she is pure, then she will be immune and able to conceive.
Who gets to decide what conditions call for an abortion? You?

Childhood Education (BA)
Teaching children from the very start.
Students who wish to teach children at the elementary school level will major in Childhood Education. Recognized by the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI), the Childhood Education program leads to a Bachelor's Degree and the Initial Teaching Certificate in New York State for Childhood Education (Grades 1-6). Candidates may also opt to pursue a combined Bachelor's degree and Masters of Science in Education (MSEd) in our five-year, combined-degree program. The Childhood Education program is considered a full-time program.
While currently offered on the Westchester campus, beginning Fall 2014, the Childhood Education BA will additionally be offered on the New York City campus.
In addition to the major in Childhood Education, students choose and complete a 30-credit concentration from one of the following areas (click to read the curriculum worksheet for each concentration):
Students progress through the Childhood Education program as a cohort with required education courses offered only during specific semesters. What does this mean for you? That the school of education has a high on-time graduate rate and that students may not reduce their education program to fewer than four years of study by "doubling up" on education courses. Transfer students seeking to major in Childhood Education should meet with the Director of Student Support Services prior to admission to the University.

Larisa was born inside the iron curtain of the former USSR, in the beautiful city of Odessa in the now, finally, the country of Ukraine. She was destined to be either a chess player or a guest start on Star Trek. Larisa and her family were granted exit visas and spent a year traveling through Europe while awaiting an entry visa to the US. The family moved to Cleveland, Ohio—effectively ending all possibilities of ever challenging Kasparov and Big Blue.
Larisa began writing at three, although it was pure nonsense. She got her B.A. in English from Cleveland State University and won a scholarship to the Imagination Writer's Workshop, to which she attributes her absolute dislike for Diane Wakoski, but gained great admiration for Sheila Schwartz. As a student at CSU, Larisa purposely got an F in her Existentialism class in protest of being tested on angst or actually having to attend class when experiencing angst. Sartre would agree, but the professor did not.
Larisa formed a life long friendship with Alberta Turner, who taught at Oberlin College as well as CSU, and who is truly a "great soul." Larisa has also developed a life-long reading love affair with Nabokov, Marquez, Allende, Gogol, Akhmatova, and Tennesse Willimas, to name a few.
By sheer accident and with no chess involved whatsoever, Larisa was the poetry editor of The Cleveland Review (no longer alive and kicking). She has published several of her own poems to a small, but well received response. Larisa also worked for several Russian poets doing translation work and research such as Zoya Falkov.
Larisa moved to New York in order to sell out and work on Wall Street, for Nasdaq... Larisa fully regrets this and daily kicks herself for such a grievous error of judgment. She did not stop writing, she simply needed to pay bills and somehow ended up not paying the bills and not publishing or even attending to her creativity fully for several years. Such is New York.
In 2001, Larisa lived roughly a block from ground zero and lost neighbors, friends, her job, and her ability to write anything whatsoever. She moved to Florida to live with her parents and begin her active denial of that tragic event, which she managed to keep up for two years, and from which she has finally awakened.
John had the honor of meeting Larisa when she emailed him to blast him about a story, from which their love/hate friendship began and continues to grow. While Larisa has been currently following the election issues, her general writing for Raw Story is focused on social issues and satire.
Larisa is currently working on a book of poetry entitled Oddesitka/Amreikanka to be published in late 2005. Larisa is also working on a yet unnamed novel about Russian refugees living in Italy (it's been over five years and she has yet to complete it, hurry up already!).
Larisa does not use her actual surname, instead using her patronymic as a pen name in honor of her father. She speaks Russian fluently, plays chess like a true Rusky, is obsessed with anagrams and ciphers, and is active (loud) in civil and human rights issues. Larisa is also a staunch advocate for patients' rights, something she knows a great deal about herself having a chronic illness. Larisa has Mixed Connective Tissues Disease (MCTD) which is a form of Lupus and/or Scleroderma (which only took about eight years to diagnose thanks to HMOs). So cut her some slack when her meds make her a bit batty.

The Case Of The Doctored Sperm Donation
In the mid-1980s, it became clear to Congress that some of the worst doctors in the country were able to commit shocking malpractice in one state after another, with relative impunity. State health departments and medical boards weren't sharing their records, and negligent or incompetent doctors went undetected for years.
