Taipei, Taiwan. Apr. 12th 2010 – PhotoFast Global Inc. a pioneer in creative, high quality and extreme performance flash-based storage manufacturer, today revealed its new line up of USB 3.0 accessories. Relied the new standard and host controller introduced to the market, PhotoFast demand to bring even higher transfer rates to meet the bottleneck where every user has experienced before.
The new USB 3.0 standard is a potential opportunity for user to appreciate the full transfer rate from new external enclosure that doesn't degrades magnetic HDD or SSD. Its new 4.8Gbps band width which is 10 times faster than USB2.0 will increase 3 – 4 times of your existing drives.
We are not the first manufacturer making USB 3.0 host because we wanted to do it right. Before the launch of GM3000EX, what's available on the market is with a protrudent plastic which needs to be inserted and pull out on each travel. Well, we couldn't stand it this way so we redesigned a hidden Type A female connector, which makes the whole thing much delightful.
The power supply come out of ExpressCard slot is very limited. The early developed standard allowing us to acquire around 300mA, that is enough for some small portable devices but not magnetic HDD. Instead of other similar products, we don't offer just an extra cable for getting power from another USB port. We combine it into the same cable that allowing user to connect external USB 3.0 devices. As most USB 3.0 HDD enclosures selling now is with a Type B micro female connector. The split cable (Y Cable) included comes very handy in practical.
- Getting 1 port of USB 3.0 from ExpressCard slot
- USB 3.0 transfer rate is way faster than USB 2.0
- Unique design where hides in the ExpressCard slot
- Split Cable (Y Cable) allows up to 800 mA power supply from the Laptop
Via: PhotoFast | News Archive | Tags: Hard Drive, USB, ExpressCard, PhotoFast, Adapter, USB 3.0
It's a little hard to tell from that picture, but is the connector actually flush with the card itself, or is there a bulge at the end that would stick out from the edge of the notebook?
I have the Kingwin USB 3.0 Expresscard that has 2 USB 3.0 ports, and it does stick out a fair bit from my laptop. The benefit of course is that it has 2 ports instead of 1.
Hmm, if I had paid attention and read everything in the article, I would have noticed that it doesn't have the added bulge at the end. My fault! :)
Now we just need more USB 3.0 devices!
Only one comes to mind and that is the Western Digital 1TB (I tihnk it was a MyBook series). The nice thing about them was that it came with an adapter to upgrade your desktop to USB 3.0. I believe the downside was that someone mentioned that it was a PCI-e x1 adapter which means it doesn't have enough bandwidth. Not sure, just something I heard. Can anyone confirm?
There are some SATA HDD docks as well that support USB 3.0. I also believe OCZ or another company is coming out with a USB 3.0 SSD/Flash drive
Frys electronics had a 1tb wester digital mybook usb 3.0 for 149.99 a few weeks ago... I had to keep my hands in my pockets as I walked by that one...
Would like to see more enclosures and external drives because I don't want my internal drives sitting out in the open for long periods of time.
LOL der, You get home and as your sit down you feel something in your pockets and as you pull it out, you go how did this get in here? (O wellz its already at your house and you don't fell like walking about and telling it accidentally fell in to your pocket :D)
This is kinda neat, and a possibly good tool for any of the IT guys out there.
I am not sure if your average consumer will be needing this anytime soon.
When it comes to things like connectors it is always best to just wait it out. Looking back there were many different connectors they have tried to introduce, and it always comes down to production costs and consumer needs. They always try and sell you on the fact that something is universal and the one stop solution. then as soon as you get it they come out with something new! Hopefully this will pass quickly and USB 4.0 comes out before we have to go around switching all connectors.
There was talk about a new HDMI connector. Imagine if they changed that one up and everyone had to get new TV's and DVD players, just to utilize the faster technology:P

99 region wins in a row — means Calhoun plays in a weak region.

No clue how many, but Camden has to be at or near the top of that list. That streak might just end this year though
October 30th, 2013
1:58 pm
Last year UNDEFEATED REGION CHAMPS in 5AAAAA, THIS YEAR:
EAST team is probably going to be 6 / 4, losing to TWO PAULDING COUNTY teams AND missing the playoffs for the only the 2nd time since 05. This is NOT what is expected from EAST PAULDING teams!
EAST needs a NEW HEAD COACH more than OBAMACARE needs a new website!!! Although both have about as many problems and the person in charge of BOTH have NO CLUE!!!
Coaching candidates for 2014 PLEASE go to:http://www.eastpauldingfootball.com and click the boosters tab then send your resumes to the club President, V.P. & Alumni Association..can't hurt and maybe this will get the ball rolling! .

I agree with you. Calhoun plays in a weak Region. How can you win 99 Region games in a row but only have one State Championship, that Buford basically handed them?

Buford was soundly beaten by Calhoun, they were lucky to get back into that game, and Calhoun was lucky to win. They LOST.

BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. (AP) - Bullhead City police say a Craigslist ad for a cellphone is what led detectives to a suspected counterfeiter.
Dean Everett Boyer was arrested earlier this week on charges of forgery, fraudulent schemes and possession of a forging instrument. He was booked into the Mohave County jail in Kingman.
Police say a search of Boyer's home turned up a forged driver's license, license plates, a concealed weapons permit and several counterfeit $100 and $10 bills.
The investigation began when the 38-year-old Boyer answered an ad to buy a woman's cellphone. He's accused of giving the woman a $100 bill that turned out to be counterfeit.
Police say they tracked down Boyer after the woman provided them with the license plate number of the man who bought her phone.
It's not clear whether Boyer has an attorney.

Nook HD[edit]
Nook HD (styled NOOK HD), announced September 26, 2012 and released November 1, 2012 along with the Nook HD+, is a 7-inch tablet with a resolution of 1440x900. It competes with the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD and comes in two colors: snow and smoke (a dark gray). It has a Texas Instruments 1.3 GHz dual-core processor with 1 GB RAM. It can play back video at 720p from the NOOK Video store, much like Amazon.com's Instant Video service. The Nook HD was initially priced at US$199 for 8 GB and US$229 for 16 GB.[22] It is now currently priced at US$129 for 8 GB and US$149 for 16 GB.
The Nook HD runs a heavily modified version of Android 4.0.3.
The Nook HD/HD+ line was originally planned to be discontinued, as announced in Barnes and Noble's 2013 Fiscal Year-End Report, due to financial losses.[23] A few months later B&N President Michael P. Huseby announced that the company "intends to continue to design and develop cutting-edge Nook black and white and color devices at the best values in the marketplace",[24] following the resignation of former CEO William Lynch.

On December 1, 2011, Barnes & Noble stated that Nook and Nook-related sales for Q2 of 2011 were US$920 million.[26] The Nook had 13.4% global market share for E-paper readers in 2011.[27]
On October 29, 2012,[28] the rival Blackwells and Foyles bookshops, the John Lewis department stores, the Waitrose and Sainsbury's supermarket chains and high street catalogue retailer Argos launched the Nook e-reader in the UK - and from, November, the Nook HD and Nook HD+ tablet computers went on sale in the stores.[29]
Nook e-Reader applications for third party devices[edit]
Barnes & Noble provides a number of free e-Reader applications to permit reading on devices other than Nooks. Selections include Nook Free Reading Apps, Nook for Web, and Nook Study.
Nook Free Reading Apps[edit]
Barnes & Noble offers a variety of apps, free of charge, with which to access NOOK digital reading material:[30]
- For Computers
- NOOK for Mac™
- NOOK for PC™
- NOOK® for Windows 8
- For Smartphones and Tablets
- NOOK for Android™
- NOOK for iPhone® and iPad®
- NOOK® for Windows 8
- For reading in one's browser
- NOOK for Web
Nook for Web[edit]
The Nook for Web tagline reads: "Read Instantly on any browser".
Mobileread describes Nook Study[31] as "a free e‐textbook application from Barnes and Noble that provides a suite of digital study tools. It is available for [MS] Windows and [Apple] Mac OS X."[32] NookStudy cannot be used on Nook e‐readers; rather it is designed for use only on PCs, Macs, and iPads, and permits one to read e-textbooks "on up to two (2) computers".
NookStudy offers two categories of benefits: the ability to read ebooks and other content that is accessible via other eReading devices, and the ability to read e‐textbooks purchased from Barnes & Noble, which are meant to be read on one's computer via the NooKStudy application. According to Barnes & Noble's NookStudy FAQ's: "You cannot use your Nook or mobile device to read textbooks as the screens are too small to properly view the contents."[33]
In The Digital Reader, Nate Hoffelder describes capabilities possessed by NookStudy that render it superior to other e‐reading software for reading textbooks.[34] For example, he writes:
…you can do multiple types of annotations (highlight, asterisk, question) and you can do asterisks and questions in 7 different colors. You can also attach text notes as well as search Wikipedia, Google, Dictionary.com, Wolfram Alpha, and YouTube. And I just noticed that you can attach a link to the webpage you just found through the search. Attaching the link isn't easy, but it can be done.
Now I'm really impressed. I love that I can search Dictionary.com, Wolfram Alpha, and YouTube. I think this might be the killer feature for NookStudy (like indexed search was for the Kindle).
Some of the other neat features include having multiple ebooks open in tabs, and a second TOC for annotations.
The Barnes & Noble website says the Nook Study has been "replaced by Yuzu",[35] which is available as an iPad, web, and Windows 8.1 app.
- Purchasing Barnes & Noble digital content and letting the credit card expire prevents re-downloading of the content until a valid credit card is entered into the account.[36][37] This is required because most downloads from Barnes & Noble have copy restrictions (DRM), and credit cards are required to unlock them.
- Nook for Apple Mac users have noted it has compatibility issues with Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. While the application requires OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, many users have documented the performance issues under Mountain Lion (and consequently all Macs sold since July 2012).[38]
- The file table on the Nook is locked, meaning that external programs such as Calibre cannot be used to automatically organize uploaded files. All organization must be undertaken on the device itself, one book at a time.[39]
- A book can only be lent once through the Nook's LendMe program.[40][41]
Spinoff of business[edit]
On June 25, 2014 Barnes & Noble announced that the Nook Media business would become a separate company.[8]

Buy or DIY: Rubber Stamps
• Hunter's Hideaway. No matter how good you are with an X-acto knife, your hand probably isn't as precise as these "Thank You" callouts and "From the kitchen" notes.
• Yellow Owl Workshop. Their stamps have hand-drawn quality and the sets create cool layered images. Yellow Owl also offers a stamp carving kit!
• DIY Wine Cork Stamps. Drink some wine, make some stamps. But probably not at the same time -- sharp objects are involved.
• Make Your Own Stamps From Silicone & Plexi. For a fancy design, trace a pattern onto the clear surface with silicone.
• DIY Alphabet Stamps. These stamps take the contents of the toy box and make fun for the craft table.
• Carved Potato & Apple Stamps from Martha Stewart. Use cookie cutters to shape crisper drawer contents into kid-friendly stamps.

I've only ever made mine from eraser pads - like my recent one of Tard (Grumpy Cat).
I love rubber stamps and have been looking for a great Please Do Not Bend stamp. So thanks for the suggestions on where to buy.

Three storylines
1. Can Georgia State move the ball? McLane, a redshirt freshman, said didn't play at his best in last week's loss to South Carolina State. Accuracy, his strength, was missing as he completed seven of his 15 passes for 54. He was sacked five times. But he is definitely in charge after backup Kelton Hill asked to move to defensive back on Sunday. Look for the Panthers to try to get running back Donald Russell going early, something they didn't do in the opener, to take the pressure off McLane.
2. Can the defense stop Tyler Bray? Despite a funky throwing motion, Bray picked apart N.C. State's secondary for more than 300 yards passing and two touchdowns in last week's win. Bray has plenty of weapons to choose from, led by Cordarrelle Patterson, who caught six passes for 93 yards last week. Conversely, the Panthers made South Carolina State quarterback Richard Cue look like one of the better QBs in the FCS with a 19-for-29 performance for 300 yards and two touchdowns.
3. Can Matt Hubbard top last week's performance? Hubbard averaged 62.2 yards per punt last week and could get plenty of opportunities in Saturday's game. His right leg could be a strong weapon for Georgia State if he can make the Vols have to go as far as possible on every possession.
A win for Georgia State would …
Be its first against a FBS opponent.
Be one of the biggest upsets in college football history.
A win for Tennessee would …
Improve it to 92-18-5 in home openers.
Be consecutive 2-0 starts for the first time since 2003-04.
Tweet of the week
Getting pumped about another trip into SEC country!! #bleedblue #GSUFootball #STATEofSHOCK

Jeff Schultz predicts
This won't be pretty. Actually, Georgia State football has never been pretty in these toddler years, but it has been particularly bad against FBS opponents: Losses to Alabama and Houston by a combined score of 119-7. Coach Bill Curry will have the distinction of losing to two generations of Dooleys (Vince, Derek), but it's probably not something to have engraved on his gold watch when he retires (again). Enjoy "Rocky Top," Panthers. You're going to hear it a few times. Prediction: Pain.

"Look for the Panthers to try to get running back Donald Russell going early, something they didn't do in the opener, to take the pressure off McLane."
This is the kind of insider comment that really burns my bottom (and nothing against you Doug, I expected this). Apparently we need to get our BEST PLAYER going early to take pressure off of our R-Fresh QB. Not to showcase his talents and give us the best chance at a win like we could have done LAST WEEk…no…we'll just do it this week to protect the coach's favorite. Shaking my head.

After seeing GA State play last week against SC State at the GA Dome….all I can say is if McLane is the best possible player on the team to play QB then it is going to be A… L-O-N-G….SEASON for GA State.
McLane was AWFUL!!!!! I didn't know that much about him but was told by a fan sitting in the stands that he wasn't all that good at the HS level either…..just saying!!!!!

How to Use the Fast Start™ Seedstarter
Fast germination and healthy growth
in a convenient, earth-friendly, self-watering seedstarter
Starting Tomato Seeds
in the Fast Start Seedstarter
Filling the biodegradable planting tray with earth-friendly Eco-co™ Coir Seedstarting Mix, which is made from coconut husks
Planting tomato seeds
Nearly 100% germination!
Seedlings are growing strong.
Healthy seedling roots
Get a jump on spring by starting your favorite plants from seed, even while the snow still flies! Our Fast Start Seedstarter makes it simpler and easier than ever to get fast germination and grow healthy seedlings. And because it's self-watering, it takes the worrying and watching out of seedstarting for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.
The Next Revolution in Indoor Seedstarting
The Fast Start Seedstarter is the newest in our long history of seedstarting innovations for home gardeners. Almost 30 years ago, Gardener's Supply introduced the exclusive APS (Accelerated Propagation System), an efficient seedstarting system inspired by systems used on English flower farms. Decades later, the APS continues to be a customer favorite. Yet even with such resounding product success, we're constantly asking ourselves, "Can we make this even better?'" And that's what we've done, with the new Fast Start Seedstarter.
- Learn how to assemble and care for the Fast Start.
- Shop: Seedstarting Kits
One of our goals has been to find a more earth-friendly option to replace the APS's Styrofoam planting tray. "We've been working and testing for many years to develop an ecologically friendly, self-watering seedstarting system that gets excellent results," said Diane Fuchs, a Gardener's Supply Company employee-owner who helped develop the Fast Start Seedstarter.
For four years, our product design and development team researched and tested alternative materials, including peat and bamboo. Each material posed its own set of challenges and concerns, and none matched the success of the APS system. Then, two years ago, they began rigorously testing a new, plant-starch-based, biodegradable planting tray and we're thrilled to announce that it passed every test with flying colors! "Seedlings absolutely love Fast Start!" exclaims Diane.
Effective, Earth-Friendly, Biodegradable and Durable
The new Fast Start planting tray is made from PLA (polylactic acid or polylactide), which resembles plastic with one big difference: It biodegrades under landfill conditions, breaking down into carbon dioxide and water. Unlike other biodegradable materials that decompose too quickly to be effective in our seedstarter, Fast Start trays last an entire seedstarting season. When you're through, you can discard the cornstarch-based tray, guilt-free. There's no need to wash and sterilize it because you use a fresh planting tray for each seedstarting cycle.
In addition to being earth-friendly and easy-to-use, the Fast Start Seedstarter provides an exceptionally high success rate. "In our testing of Fast Start, we saw almost 100 percent germination, always," Fuchs said. "Seedlings get the right amount of water when they need it to germinate, and you don't have to keep an eye on it all the time. It's a great system for beginners who want to try out seedstarting, and for more experienced folks who want success without worry."
Each Fast Start Seedstarter contains:
- A disposable, Biodegradable Planting Tray, made from a revolutionary cornstarch material that eliminates the need for washing and sterilizing

A method of instruction for students, 16 and older, where technical classroom instruction is combined with paid employment directly related to the classroom instruction. The two experiences must be planned and supervised by the school and the employer so that each contributes to the student's career objective/major and employability. Written cooperative arrangements showing the instruction to be provided are developed by the school and employer providing the training. School credit is received for both the on-the-job training and the classroom components.
The purpose of cooperative education programs is the development of occupational competence reinforced by a job training experience. The cooperative method of instruction provides students enrolled in vocational/technical courses an opportunity to extend their employment preparation beyond the classroom. When a student has a career objective that is specific and definite, students can often prepare themselves better for the workplace, by being in the workplace, than they can in the school setting. Cooperative education can prepare students for useful employment in the career major of their choice. Frequently schools find that they can not afford to continuously equip and update labs with state of the art equipment. Schools can build partnerships with community business people to offer training that is specifically designed for a given student using state of the art equipment and requiring the student to perform up to industry standards as they meet the needs of clients on a daily basis.
Critical to the philosophy of the cooperative method is that students must have classroom instruction and on-the-job training directly related to one another. Both the school and community businesses assume responsibility for helping a student attain competencies required for a course that utilizes the cooperative method. The school provides related technical instruction in the classroom and the on-the-job training is provided at the job site. The two experiences must be planned and supervised by the school and employers so that each contributes to the student's education and to his or her employability. Work periods and school attendance is planned on alternate half days, full days, weeks, or other periods of time in fulfilling the cooperative program.
Planning for use of the cooperative method should begin at least a year in advance. Administrative approval must be obtained for initiating a new approach as well as the adoption of necessary local policies. There may need to be permission from all necessary school officials to investigate the need. Operational procedures need also to be adopted by the highest level of the organization affected.
Some essential activities that should be accomplished as a school progresses toward the decision to offer cooperative on-the-job training are listed below:
- Organize an advisory committee.
- Contact key community individuals among employers, employees, school, service organizations, labor market contacts, and other agencies regarding the advisability of establishing cooperative on-the-job training.
- Appoint a planning committee or advisory committee to guide the process to ensure that all important steps are taken and to give the effort credibility.
- Conduct a student survey to determine students needs and interests and simultaneously to determine businesses that already employ students as part-time workers.
- Conduct a local occupational survey to determine the number and types of training stations available in the school service area.
- Determine whether it is feasible to offer cooperative education based on student interest and employer interest.
- Devise a tentative written plan to include philosophy, objectives, policy formation, control procedures, responsibilities of personnel, organizational structure and general supervision, broad advisory functions, and an estimated total cost and budget.
- Present the plan to those who must approve establishing cooperative on-the-job in the school.
- Select and/or hire teacher/coordinator(s).
- Courses identified from which students can be placed for on-the-job training to complete a career major.
- Transportation to on-the-job sites.
- Hours worked that will count toward course credit (whether school day time only or will weekend time also count).
- Methods of computing and reporting grades.
- Student's school and job responsibilities.
- Insurance coverage essential for each student.
- Schedules for on-the-job (whether students will alternate half-days, full days, weeks etc. at the job site).
- Develop criteria for selecting on-the-job training stations that will be followed by the teacher(s) placing students for training at the job sites. Involve the advisory committee to be a part of the training station approval on an annual basis.
- These guidelines should assure that a training agreement is signed within the week that the student is placed or the training plan is developed within two-three weeks of the student trainee beginning work at the job site.
- Determine the location for the official school copy of the training agreement and plan to be filed.
- Develop policies regarding the number of training hours to be completed in order to receive school credit for on-the-job. (Will 0.25 units, 0.50 units, 1 unit, or 2 units be provided based on training hours or will some other standard of competence be used?)
- Determine coordination time schedules and responsibilities of those assigned responsibilities to coordinate the school instruction with the training conducted at the job site. Outline the responsibilities for arranging with the employers the training to be done at the job site and the evaluation and grading processes to be coordinated between the trainer at the job site and the school coordinator.
- Develop procedures for accumulating student payroll information for use in conduction with the VEIS requirements and to ensure that student are paid in compliance with the North Carolina and/or federal wage and hour legislation.
- Develop a procedure that supports the reporting and recording of student participation.
- Design the training experiences for the entire school staff to ensure uniform understanding of the proper usage of cooperative education in meeting the needs of students and employers.
- Develop a training program for the employers who will be on-the-job training partners. This may become a function of the planning or advisory committee to train partners on an annual basis (especially new training sites).
The cooperative education method is an essential component to five Career and Technical Education program areas.

Musicians get together in Pittsburg to benefit a local resident suffering with cancer.
Beth Walker has lung cancer and is married to a musician. The families friends contacted the organization Musicians for Miracles to help organize a fundraiser.
Six local bands played to help raise money for Walker and her family.
Organizer Mark Lockhart says the community loves to get together to help each other in times of need.
"Where we have these benefits, we are never short of talent, it is sort of a circle of love, it starts with the musicians, and the businesses to the people in the community and we give it back to the person who needs it" says Lockhart.
Walker was too sick to attend the event. All proceeds go directly towards helping the family pay for medical expenses.

Phoenix • Friendly fire likely was to blame in a shooting near the Arizona-Mexico line that killed one federal agent and wounded another, the FBI said, noting the investigation was still ongoing in the case that reignited the political debate over border security.
"There are strong preliminary indications that the death of United States Border Patrol Agent Nicholas J. Ivie and the injury to a second agent was the result of an accidental shooting incident involving only the agents," FBI Special Agent in Charge James L. Turgal Jr. said in a statement Friday.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Turgal said the FBI is using "all necessary investigative, forensic and analytical resources" as it investigates the Tuesday shooting about five miles north of the border near Bisbee.
Ivie, 30, who grew up in Provo and still has family in Spanish Fork, was killed after he and two other agents responded to an alarm triggered by a sensor aimed at detecting smugglers and others entering the U.S. illegally. Another agent was wounded, and released from a hospital after surgery; the third agent was uninjured.
Federal investigators used ballistic testing to determine that the shootings likely resulted from friendly fire, according to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office, which is assisting the FBI in the probe.
A spokesman for the Ivie family said how the agent died changes little.
"Quite honestly, the circumstances that surround exactly what happened will do nothing to bring Nick back," Kevin Goates, Sierra Vista stake president for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, told The Arizona Republic. "Those are just details.
"The fact is he is gone, and that is what the family is focusing on and their time together and their time for healing," Goates said.
Ivie is survived by his wife, Christy, and two young daughters, plus his parents and siblings.
Jeffrey D. Self, commander of Customs and Border Protection's Joint Field Command-Arizona, said that despite the initial findings that the shootings appeared accidental, Ivie still "gave the ultimate sacrifice and died serving his country."
"The fact is the work of the Border Patrol is dangerous," Self said at a news conference in Tucson.
While federal authorities declined to offer details of the shooting, George McCubbin, president of the National Border Patrol Council, said all three agents fired their weapons.
McCubbin told The Arizona Republic that the agents had split up as they investigated the sensor alarm.
"Coming in from different angles, that is more than likely how it ended up happening," he said.
A Mexican law enforcement official said Thursday that federal police had arrested two men who may have been connected to the shootings. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information, said it was unclear if there was strong evidence linking the men to the case.
Mexican authorities didn't respond to telephone messages Friday.
Ivie's funeral is set for Monday in Sierra Vista.
The Border Patrol couldn't immediately comment on the frequency of friendly fire shootings involving its agents. However, such incidents appear to be extremely rare, if they've ever occurred at all.
"I know of absolutely none in the past, and my past goes back to 1968," Kent Lundgren, chairman of the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers said, citing the year he joined the agency. "I'm not saying it never happened. I'm just saying I've never heard of it."
Also Friday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano traveled to Arizona to express her condolences to Ivie's family and meet with authorities.
Ivie's death marked the first fatal shooting of an agent since a 2010 firefight with Mexican bandits that killed U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and spawned congressional probes of a botched government gun-smuggling investigation.Next Page >

How To Diagnose And Treat Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome
- Volume 22 - Issue 6 - June 2009
- 35330 reads
- 0 comments
There a few different methods to diagnose CECS in the lower leg. Sphygmomanometer testing, magnetic resonance imaging and near-infrared spectroscopy are reasonable non-invasive methods for identifying this pathology, although sensitivity and specificity vary. The gold standard today remains intracompartmental pressure testing following a brief period of exertion.
Surgical treatment for CECS remains the treatment of choice for patients with elevated intracompartmental pressures.4 Today surgeons perform compartment decompression either by open fasciotomy or by subcutaneous fascial division.3
Endoscopically assisted release improves visualization and minimizes the risk of incomplete compartment decompression and inadvertent neurovascular injuries, subsequently improving patient outcomes.1,3 Endoscopically assisted fasciotomy for CECS in the anterior and lateral compartments of the lower leg is a safe and reliable technique with excellent outcomes and patient satisfaction.6,13

The Common UNIX Printing System, more commonly referred to as CUPS, provides a standard printer interface for various Unix based operating systems. "imagetops" is a part of CUPS responsible for creating PostScript representations of different graphic file formats. For more information, visit the vendor's website at the following URL.
Remote exploitation of a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in CUPS, as included in various vendors' operating system distributions, could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected service.
The Common Unix Printing System, more commonly referred to as CUPS, provides a standard printer interface for various Unix-based operating systems.
The Silicon Graphics Image (SGI) file format parsing module is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability when parsing malformed Run Length Encoded (RLE) data. The vulnerability exists within the read_rle16() function. This function doesn't correctly validate the row count value taken from the file, which is then used to control how many 16-bit integers to store into a heap-based buffer. By providing small image dimensions and a large row count, it is possible to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow.
Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected service. Depending on the underlying operating system and distribution, CUPS may run as the lp, daemon or a different user.
Exploiting heap overflow vulnerabilities on modern Unix systems can be difficult due to various heap protection schemes; however, the attacker has very fine-grained control over the overflow, which somewhat eases the difficulty of exploitation.
To exploit this vulnerability remotely, the targeted host must be sharing a printer(s) on the network. If a printer is not being shared, CUPS only listens on the localhost interface, and the scope of this vulnerability would be limited to local privilege escalation.
iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in CUPS version 1.3.7. Previous versions may also be affected.
Disabling printer sharing will prevent this vulnerability from being exploited remotely; however, local exploitation is still possible.
CUPS.org has released a patch which addresses this issue. For more information, consult their advisory at the following URL.

Hidden from the rest of the peninsula on the upper prong of its easternmost end, Playa Rincón boasts the top Samaná beach, bar none. Its pristine condition is maintained by its inaccessibility, with just one rocky road leading there from Las Galeras. Although rumours that a major hotel chain is set to start building on the beach have been doing the rounds for years, development has been kept mostly at bay.
Tucked away at the base of the Bahía de Rincón – which is buttressed on both sides by enormous capes – the beach has long been a favourite of wealthy Dominican city-dwellers who camp out here with their families for the night. Of all the warm, clear waters on the island, Rincón has the very finest – moderately deep with manageable waves and a bright turquoise transparency that can't be matched – combined with a 4km stretch of whiter-than-white sand and a sprawling coconut forest behind it.Read More
Death by coconut
Death by coconut
If you're in the vicinity of coconut trees, be careful where you park your car. All Dominican car rental agreements have a provision explicitly stating that insurance will not cover damage – usually shattered windshields or dented hoods – inflicted by a falling coconut. More unfortunate, an average of six people per year in the Dominican Republic die from being hit by one of the plummeting fruits. Tropical storms are the most frequent culprits; the high winds sometimes launch dozens of them through the air like cannon shot. Many of the larger resorts and hotels employ people with long poles to knock the fruits from their trees before they have a chance to fall.

Product design is excellent as it always is with Nixon. But the quality is complete garbage. After usually about 2 months, the connection goes to crap, and one of the ear phones will go out. Something with the headphone jack. This has happened to at least 5 pairs of Nixons for me. This will NOT last, especially if you're an active person and use these while riding/ skating/ hitting the gym.

obviously wearing these gloves are the most effective way to convey how much of a stud you are, but they run really small. I got some XLs and they really fit like a L or even M. Already have a hole on the tip of the left ring finger (a non-poking finger, mind you), but other than that, these are how you say, p*ssy magnet

The color is great... although i may have been the last to get the green (huhaaaaaaa). The pants aren't the most waterproof, but they fit well. I got the medium and at 5'11" they were JUST right. If you're any taller than that, get a large. you might want to get a large anyways because the bottom rides up a little bit and it looks a bit floody. ruined some nice video clips i had. they sure do look righteous, though.

Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange is running for re-election.
Strange filed his candidate paperwork and paid the associated fee Monday at the Alabama State Republican Headquarters in Hoover.
Strange says political corruption was a top priority in his first term and now he will have other items on his agenda for a second term.
"We've got to continue on this mission which we are on which is holding BP accountable. The biggest case in Alabama's history that has been my top priority. Then of course our biggest charge is keeping people safe," Strange said.
Strange says he will also be challenging Washington D.C. to hold the federal government accountable to the Constitution whether it's over Obamacare, religious freedom or gun rights.
