I am a bit curious about Carbon Copy (CC). We are doing some
research/pen-testing on how CC communicates. We have noticed that it
orginally begins on port 1680 but then seems to randomize its port
number. Does anyone have any idea if these random numbers have a
pattern to them and if so, does anyone know what the pattern is. We also
suspect that CC may find a random port based on the machine it is
running on.
Thanks for the help.

The next big 401k washout
The bear market led throngs of investors to flee stocks for the relative 'safety' of bonds. But with the economy changing, those investments now threaten our retirement savings.
Related topics: 401k, bonds, retirement planning, investing strategy, Anthony Mirhaydari
It's hard to blame investors for retreating to bonds over the past two years.
During the 2007-2009 bear market, U.S. households saw their 401k's and other retirement plans shrink by more than $3 trillion -- around 35% of the pre-recession total.
Of this, $2.4 trillion came from stock losses. The more you had in stocks, the more you likely lost.
Combine that with the 2000-2002 tech crash -- and a variety of economic calamities, panics and cases of fraud -- and you get the worst-performing 10-year period in the stock market since the 1930s.
So despite the economy's return to growth in the summer of 2009 and the stock market's 91% rally from its low, shell-shocked investors have stuck with the perceived safety of bonds and shunned stocks.
According to Credit Suisse, a whopping 95% of newly invested money has flowed into bond mutual funds since the beginning of 2009. Now, bonds account for 38% of all mutual-fund assets -- which is where most nest egg dollars sit -- up from 24.4% in 2007 and 19.8% in 2000.
This safe-and-sane approach leaves us at least secure, right? Unfortunately not.
Anthony Mirhaydari
A very long rally in bonds is coming to an end; a huge correction could be in the offing. So this flight to safety has set up a lot of everyday investors for the next great 401k washout.
Still living in fear
This flight to bonds has been driven by uncertainty and fear: A September survey (.pdf file) of investors by the Investment Company Institute found that investors' willingness to take risk remains well below pre-recession levels and continues to slide among the under-35 cadre entering their prime savings years. The "safety" of fixed-income investments has almost become an obsession; a Morgan Stanley analysis of ICI mutual-fund flow data shows bonds are now more popular than stocks were even at the peak of the equity bubble in 2000.
But like all bubbles, this will end badly for those who don't recognize it for what is.
The great bond bull market -- which accompanied the long decline of interest rates from a high of 22.4% in 1981 to nearly zero now -- is coming to an end as rates start moving higher. This was the subject of my most recent column, as well as columns from November (on the Fed's $600 billion "QE2" money-printing initiative) and September (on inflation). The drivers will be a shift in the supply/demand balance for money, rising inflationary pressures and faster economic growth. With 10-year Treasury yields at 3.4% now, analysts at Jefferies are looking for rates of 5% later this year, while Morgan Stanley is looking for 4%.
While those gains don't sound drastic, investors in long-term bonds will be handed large losses as duration -- the leverage that's implicit in long-lived fixed-income assets -- comes back to bite them. It's like buying stocks on margin; the potential gains go up, but so do potential losses.
Duration bolsters returns when rates are falling and bond prices are rising, as they were during the 2007-2009 bear market for stocks. It magnifies losses when things reverse.
I'll use an example to illustrate.
Say you've invested in a 10-year bond that pays one payment at maturity (a "zero-coupon" bond with a 10-year duration), and interest rates are at 2%. Then, rates increase to 4%. Not a big deal, you might think. But it would cost your bond around 20% of its value. If the bond matured in just two years -- a shorter duration -- your loss would be cut to 4% for the same change in rates.
The flight has begun
The market is starting to do this math. Bond yields are up from 2.4% in October and a low of 2.1% in December 2008, pushing bond prices down. This has the so-called "smart money" moving out of bonds and into stocks.
For the week that ended Dec. 15, 2010, bond funds tracked by EPFR posted their biggest outflow since 2008 and posted outflows in six of the final seven weeks of 2010. For November and December, equity funds took in more than $51 billion -- barely enough to push their annual total into positive territory.

STEPHEN M. THOMAS ('66) --- 1981 Inductee --- lettered three years in basketball. Member of the Xavier 1,000-Point Club. Member of the XU Basketball Hall of Fame. Team MVP in 1964 and 1965.
Steve Thomas is still considered by most observers as the best pure shooter in Xavier history. The stats, facts, and stories strongly support that statement.
His coach, Jim McCafferty, commented, "The record proves that he was one of the great shooters of all-time. He just had a great knack of getting himself open and could shoot from anywhere."
Thomas still holds numerous Xavier records, including most points in a game (50 vs. Detroit on January 6, 1964 at Schmidt Fieldhouse), highest season scoring average (30.0 ppg. in 1963-64), highest career scoring average (23.6 ppg.), most field goal attempts in a season (637 in 1963-64), most field goals made in a game (18 in the 1964 game against Detroit), most field goals made in a season (302 in 1963-64), and highest free throw percentage in a game (16-16 for 1.000 against Canisius on January 28, 1964).
The preceding list only begins to tell about Thomas' assault on the Musketeer record book. Thomas, who now stands ninth on the Musketeer all-time scoring list with 1,722 career points, finished his career in first place. In fact, he shattered the old record by almost 400 points.
His sophomore year at Xavier he averaged 16.1 points per game, then exploded on the national scene his junior year with 779 points (second in XU history) for a 30.0 ppg. average (first in XU history). The 30.0 ppg. average put Thomas seventh in the nation in scoring.
Thomas was named Tournament MVP as he led the Musketeers to the 1963 National Catholic Tournament Championship as a sophomore. As a junior, he pumped in a school record 50 points in a school record bashing 121-113 victory over Detroit at Schmidt Fieldhouse.
Unfortunately, Thomas' senior year was one that he never recovered from. After 14 games, and a 28.9 ppg. average, he went down with a knee injury. After receiving a red-shirt that allowed him to play a half season in 1965-66, he tried a comeback. Despite scoring 17.4 ppg., Thomas would play only five games before calling it quits.
Thomas' feats earned him national acclaim, All-America honors, a spot on the NCAA All-Star Team after his junior year, and a tryout with the U.S. Olympic Team. Many opposing coaches stated that he was the best shooter in college basketball in 1964.
Here is a list of some of the more notable honors that the Roger Bacon High School product put together during his stay at Xavier:
1) First Team All-American (1964 Basketball News)
HIGH POINT GAME: School record 50 vs. Detroit (1-6-64) at Schmidt Fieldhouse

The Occult Bookstore has been offering guidance and books in alternative approaches to spirituality and self-healing since 1917, according to the store's website. It stocks titles on topics such as homeopathy, Zen Buddhism and old Hermetic magic. Though the store carries an array of used books, largely collected from old libraries, it specializes in rare, hand-bound books, such as Aleister Crowley's "The Book of Lies," which can cost up to $2,000. Crystals, amulets and other accessories are sold to complement specific spiritualities, and the store hosts readings, signings and classes that range from spiritual jewelry making to fire eating.
Owner Louvel Delon was cast under Occult's spell at 16 and helped relocate the store from Clark Street and Belmont Avenue to its current location on Milwaukee Avenue. He has owned the store for five years and is a practitioner of alternative methods of spirituality, as are many of the store's employees, whose advice draws in as many customers as the books. "We're involved in the community," Delon said, "and people come in to find somebody who is practicing" alternative approaches to spirituality.
Visit: The Occult Bookstore, 1164 N. Milwaukee Ave., 2 to 7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday or go to occultbookstore.com.

VIRGINIA BEACH -- Fire destroyed a building that was home to the old FX/Bill's Flea Market for the third time in a year.
Crews were called to the complex on Va. Beach Blvd. around 1:00 a.m. and say the fire had already gotten a firm grip and the walls of the building had started to buckle.
They also had to battle the high winds that helped move the fire through the building.
"We were able to protect their livelihood" said Battalion Chief Michael Barakey, referring to the nearby businesses that were spared. "They should be able to open for business."
Firefighters dealt with hot spots throughout the morning.
Investigators say it could be days before they know the cause of the fire; however, investigators say the fire was likely started by homeless people taking shelter in the condemned building.
The fire didn't cause any traffic problems in the area.
Bill Barry, the original owner of Bill's Flea Market, told 13News that a new Bill's Flea Market will be opening March 15 at 6820 North Military Highway. It will be in the old AMF Bowling Alley

"My husband was receiving the "Volunteer of the Year," award, so I had to find the perfect dress to such an elegant event, and I did in the Francesca dress! This dress fit me perfectly, and the material wasn't clingy like I thought it would be. I received so many compliments the whole night, and felt like a queen with her award winning king!"
"I often wear this dress to parties or out to the theater as it is the versatile "little black dress" every girl needs! The fit is fabulous - hugging the bodice but flaring out from the waist, which is perfect for someone like me who has extra weight in her hips and thighs. The compliments are endless when I wear this dress, as if it were built just for me! Most often I hear "What a gorgeous dress! You look beautiful!" To me, IGIGI clothing is designed with the plus sized gal in mind - what will and will not compliment our curves. Additionally, the quality of the items cannot be beat and are built to last. I love my IGIGI dresses!!"
"On my 61st birthday, 11/21/12, I wanted a special dress to wear to the theatre to see my favorite ballet, "The Nutcracker." I have a new beau and wanted to look "smashing" hiding these big hips and small breast on my special night. Although I didn't think the dress would be so fitted (material wise), it was not clingy and actually would have been way too large in the next size.
When he walked in he said, I looked beautiful. The dress made me feel good. I wore it slightly off the shoulder and the black really accented my brown skin and blonde hair. The dress also looked good against my pink, girly girly sofa. I will buy this dress in every color because it is ME!
It is soft, but dramatic and simple. Yes, they say I am a drama Queen. I don't think so, but I love the style of this dress, my very 1st purchase from IGIGI. It might have landed me a 2nd husband and that is why I am a fan :)"
"For an evening wedding in/out door for a friend... the fit was perfect, and I felt extra sexy in the black... Compliments ranged from hot and sexy to classy black on black.. I became an IGIGI fan from the suggestion of a friend who was larger than I in size when she rocked an outfit that I thought was amazing and needed to know where she got it, and I needed to get involved... thanks Jo... Now I am a fan because IGIGI gives me fashion for fat not frumpy..."
"I fell in love with this dress online and I'm still in love wearing it. Very flattering with a sexy neckline. Even the simple fabric doesn't make it worse. A perfect day-to-night dress, matching all types of accessories."
"Perfect for a Valentine's Day / Anniversary dinner with my man. I feel beautiful in this dress!"
"Dress it up, dress it down. This. dress. is. perfect. Most of the time, plus size dresses are just bigger, and/or uglier versions of the smaller sized dresses. Not IGIGI's. This dress is made to flatter a larger body. How?
--It's lightly lined. It follows your shape without climbing into creases or adhering to lumps. --It has an empire waist. It emphasizes the curves you're proudest of, and leaves the others alone. --3/4 sleeves. Hides upper arm fat without looking stuffy or cutesy. --Lovely neckline. Drop the shoulders down, or pull them up for a less daring look. Either way, the neckline will have everyone's attention for all the right reasons.
The material is not a luxurious texture...but the weight of it, and its movement, are just right for a night out."
"I wore this dress at a social occasion in Alabama. The dress gave me that little black dress effect and the material and quality of the dress was excellent. I also wore it for my 51st Birthday! This is my 5th dress purchased and I love the feel and correct sizing. These dress makes you feel that you can afford higher end clothes and look great! I receive compliments every time I wear one of the dresses especially the neckline area. I have large breast and it's important I don't look sloppy. IGIGI is the first site I check for quality beautiful clothes."

This dish really is speedy, especially if you use 2 packages of Trader Joe's shredded green cabbage instead of slicing your own. The flavor is very good, evoking an Old World flair. I used Gala apples, which held their shape well, and served it with pan grilled precooked bratwurst and leftover potatoes for a sort of German themed supper. My husband wanted to make a frozen pizza, but I said I could pull this delicious dinner together faster, and I did. The leftovers are great over brown rice, whole wheat couscous or white beans for a healthy, satisfying vegetarian lunch.

The Civilian Casualty Fable II: What Haditha Reveals
Commentary by Aslan, 6/26/06, 6:10pm. Comments (2)
Haditha does not reveal what anti-war liberals want it to reveal: the savagery of an unwelcome and fatigued U.S. military and a war out of control. Oddly enough, they are entirely unaware that their obsession with Haditha is in fact an admission that the civilian casualty figures tossed around these last three years are, and have always been, propaganda.
This civilian casualty fable began with the Lancet study in the fall of 2004, which claimed 100,000 civilian dead and painted a picture of indiscriminate U.S. military destruction: "Making conservative assumptions, we think that about 100 000 excess deaths, or more have happened since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Violence accounted for most of the excess deaths and air strikes from coalition forces accounted for most violent deaths."
The Iraq Body Count (IBC) project, well-known for its running tally of civilian dead, added to the fable with its Dossier of Civilian Casualties in the summer of 2005, which prominently featured this quote: "An old man approached, disoriented and alone, faltering forward with his cane after three warning shots. Finally, U.S. weapons fired a burst and he fell dead." Anti-war liberals, electric with excitement that the evidence of U.S. brutality was mounting, failed to notice that the IBC study, with vastly fewer casualties and a disproportionate number of men, contradicted the Lancet study, which claimed that half of the 100,000 casualties were women and children.
In other words, the Lancet study calculated 50,000 dead women and children over 18 months, while IBC actually counted less than 6,000 women and children over a longer period of time (of which the 18 months in the Lancet study are a subset).
While the more reliable IBC study unintentionally debunks the Lancet study, Logic Times demonstrated in the Civilian Casualty Fable that the majority of dead people counted by IBC represent not innocent bystanders, but terrorists and Iraqi security forces. And when, after the fall of Baghdad, IBC identified actual civilian casualties, there was a 5 out of 6 chance they were killed by terrorists.*
These facts, of course, escaped the mainstream media, allowing the conventional wisdom that dominates today to take shape: the coalition intervention in Iraq, whatever your position on the war, has been wreaking havoc on the civilian population as never before. One of the most important planks in the anti-war platform was now in place, sanctimoniously hinted at in the Lancet conclusion: "In the interim, civility and enlightened self-interest demand a re-evaluation of the consequences of weaponry now used by coalition forces in populated areas." Apparently the "enlightened" Lancet authors are unaware that IEDs and car bombs the primary cause of civilian casualties are not "weaponry now used by the coalition."
The simple truth is that hundreds of thousands of heavily armed American soldiers fighting non-uniformed terrorists scattered throughout 26 million Iraqi civilians have killed less than one in five thousand of those civilians while winning the war and securing their freedom. How ironic that this unprecedented military achievement has been cast in its opposite light.
It is also important to understand the problem with these casualty studies, which is their use as anti-war propaganda. No one disputes that the Iraq War has caused civilian casualties (far less than claimed, but still several thousand) or that these casualties are tragic. But civilian casualties were an anonymous fact of life in Iraq from 1979 to 2003 and are currently in stark decline. The position that current casualty levels as a result of a U.S. initiated war are more egregious than the higher rate of casualties during the Saddam years reveals the convoluted logic of these anti-war groups. That they have inflated those casualty numbers to try and suffocate the weakness of their argument with dead bodies is criminal. And now Haditha provides further evidence of their duplicity beyond the statistics in the Civilian Casualty Fable.
What does Haditha reveal? The casualty distortions detailed above demonstrate the lengths to which anti-war liberals will go to invalidate the humanitarian success of the coalition intervention. They will sample small areas to come up with a big 100,000 number (please ignore that their statistical methods require a range of 8,000 194,000), they will classify dead terrorists as civilian casualties, they will compare a minor prison incident to Nazi death camps, they will disregard the hundreds of thousands of civilians that Saddam murdered, and they will happily, eagerly, take the word of the enemy that Marines are slaughtering civilians. Anything to promote opposition to the Iraq War.
But wait a minute. If these anti-war opportunists who have embraced Haditha are correct about the civilian casualty counts, then where are the other Hadithas? According to their own numbers
there are between 34 to 187 civilians dying each day from collateral damage. Who thinks that these anti-war leftists, masters at creating atrocities out of whole cloth (Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, Haditha), would have or could have sat quietly on the sidelines as U.S. urban warfare tactics spat out an average of 110 bodies each and every day? Even if we halve that number to account for the increased civilian casualties during the invasion, there are plenty of bodies to go around. And if those who trumpeted Abu Ghraib had ten times the body count we see in Haditha on a regular basis, the war would have been aborted long ago. With that kind of raw material to work with, raw material in need of only a few "eyewitnesses" and an Al Jazeera camera, do you think they would have been silent these many months?
The reality is that Haditha is rare and represented a unique opportunity for the US anti-war left to follow the Vietnam script, to make a reach for the Iraqi equivalent of My Lai, something they have desperately wanted since before Abu Ghraib. Unfortunately for their aims, collateral damage as a result of US action is the exception as their long silence revealed.
The overwhelming majority of Iraqi civilian casualties have been at the hands of the terrorists, but such stories do not advance the anti-U.S. cause. The overwhelming majority of stories the Iraqi people have to tell about U.S. soldiers are ones of admiration and gratitude, but these stories do not interest Time Magazine much "too heroic." In other wars throughout the years, Haditha would be common and expected, but not in this war and not with these troops. The fact is that Haditha confirms in every way the Civilian Casualty Fable.
Like a child counting down the endless days leading up to Christmas morning, Al Jazeera has been waiting to unwrap a Middle Eastern My Lai. If the Lancet and IBC casualty story were true, every week would be Christmas for Al Jezeera for Time Magazine, Jack Murtha and al-Zawahiri, too. Why then has Christmas been so long in coming? Because the U.S. military does not leave presents under that tree.
*During the initial invasion, the coalition advance caused significant civilian casualties; in fact, over 70% of the total casualties caused by the coalition happened in the first three weeks. However, the target of the casualty propaganda was not the invasion of Iraq, but the post-invasion period, where claims are made that the U.S. has not liberated 26 million people, but plunged the country into an unlivable chaos.

Sadly, you still miss the salient notion about what war and death are. You have not gone to war, nor have I so it seems pointless to measure, weigh and parse one report against another always trying to winnow out some kernel which supports "your count." The point is that this kind of destructive non dialogue has gone on for millennia and still nothing is solved. One imagined wrong worthy of wholesale destruction of ones own species by other members of the species should suffice to point out the futility of war, not glorify the process of how to measure the destruction. You would have made a good village butcher because you lack the capacity to appreciate the texture or color of the sheep's wool; you merely size it up for how many pounds of carded wool and the edible portion of meat of the animal after slitting its throat. Who cares about which side is lying more or lying less, the question is about the process, not the product.
{Aslan: The essay does not deal with larger issue of war and death, but the use of propaganda hidden beneath the skirts of statistics. The rest of what you say is, to put it gently, hippie nonsense.}

And check this out - the IAEA chief is throwing around the 100,000 number still. Months after it was debunked. This just goes to show that the UN is more concerned with hating the US than with objectivity.

The historical settlement of King's Landing, New Brunswick, offers a program called "Visiting Cousins" where children of various ages live the life of a child from the 19th century for a week or so. They dress in period costume, participate in period activities, associate themselves with one of the historic homes, and attend the 1840 one-room schoolhouse.
What a summer camp! All the kids I talked to seemed to be having a great time and said they loved it.
These boys have just finished a game of croquette after which some girls surprised them by tossing buckets of water on them. I think they are planning their revenge.

If you EVER lead anything, especially trad..
PLEASE wear a helmet. I'm really disappointed in myself that it took me a horrific event experiencing/witnessing something today to realize how much a helmet can save a life.
I will forever wear one when I lead now, and please wear one too… along with all your partners. You won't regret it. So much sh*t can happen in two seconds without your control.
Buy a helmet and wear it, when you rope up.
p.s. dont peer pressure anyone to lead if they dont want to, let them be a top rope tough guy.
Oh God… just realized I handed out a bunch of my business cards to every dirtbag climber in JTree today.
I blame Preston for spraining his ankle, ending climbing for the day… which leads to the beer… ending in me being friendly to every person I see walking by.

2013 200 Films Meme
This last year, I told myself I was going to watch 365 films in a year. It didn't happen, and I wasn't even close. So, instead of trying to find 365 movies I've never seen before (which isn't impossible, but would be hard) I've decided to make myself a collection of categories to work with.
25 Old Favorites
There are tons of movies I like to watch over and over again. This is allowing me to watch them again this year without screwing up my count.
25 New Movies
Simple. 25 movies that are new to you. They can have come out whenever, just as long as you've never seen it.
25 Criterion Collection Movies
25 Guilty Pleasures
Movies you know instinctively by looking at them that they're going to be awful. B-Movies, romantic comedies, old science fiction, whatever rocks your boat.
25 Documentaries and Biographical Movies
Kind of self explanatory, right? There are tons of great documentaries made every year. To get you started, you can watch many for free on Hulu (if you live in the US). If documentaries aren't your thing, you can exchange this with biographical movies (or do a mixture of the two).
25 Short Films
Pretty self explanatory. Watch a short animation, find an amazing short from another country. Here is a list of some award winning short films, but don't feel restricted to just that!
25 Foreign Movies
If you're from the US, you may not always catch some of the amazing stuff that happens over the pond. Britain, Canada, India, Japan, and many other countries have great film industries, so do yourself a favor and watch 25 movies that aren't from home this year.
25 Award Winners
What award, you may ask? Any of them. From an Oscar to a Golden Globe to a Razzie, pick twenty five and get to it.
Suggested Tags for this challenge are: 200film, 200 film meme, and 200film2013
To keep track, here is a page with some film tables you can set up.

This combo is actually a hell of a lot easier than I thought. It'd be completely viable in a real match if only a kill with it didn't cost a total of 8 stock, which is nearly impossible to build up. This combo uses a normal lead-in to a SuB and filling back up to three with normals so I can combo into a SuC. 0 shunpo, 0 RF, 4 stock, 91 hits, 96 damage. Note: Was deleted during the site hack.

by Carrie Adams
Since he first burst onto the scene in February 2011, Hobie Call has dominated the Spartan male competitive landscape. While there have been a few notable exceptions and despite a very talented male field, Call has nearly single-handedly owned the top male Spartan spot unchallenged.
When it comes to the women, there is a very different story in play. With a field of female athletes that is vast and varied, the Spartan women have been battling it out course after course with several names coming to the surface in a pool of talent that is growing daily.
In Pennsylvania, there will be a showdown of some of the biggest names in obstacle racing you should know by now and we want to introduce you them!
In Sparta, we like our women fast. Let's take a look at the line-up!
The Champ
Jenny Tobin. 2011 Spartan Champion and 2012 PacNW 1st place female this professional Xterra triathlete and Ironman Champion took home the top spot in Texas's World Championships also nabbing a $10,000 payday in Glen Rose, TX. Jenny brings experience in racing to the table and two solid wins make her an obvious choice for the PA course champion.
The Spartan Challengers
The In-Form Racer:
Andi Hardy- Jory is the winner of 2012′s Tuxedo Race and the Indiana Founder's race not to mention a second place finish in Georgia and Montreal. Does this Spartan winner and high school prinicpal have what it takes to outclass the field?
The Familiar Face:
Blogger and familiar Spartan figure
Margaret Schlacther of Dirtinyourskirt.com is heading to PA and a race more suited to her trail background. With a third place Beast finish in 2011 and a second place finish in New York behind Hardy-Jory, Schlachter is going to be toeing the line at several upcoming Spartan Races.
The Young Gun:
At 19, Ella Ann Kociuba is young, but this recent Death Race paticipant raced faster than Jenny Tobin in Glen Rose in 2011 but in an open heat not eligible for the cash prize. We featured Kociuba in a story earlier this year and her battle back from a debilitating horseback riding injury to become a real Spartan competitor. Will she be able to outpace Jenny in the same heat?
The Local:
36 year old Gretchen Krueger is coming back to PA. Krueger took top spot in PA in 2011… can she hold her own in her backyard and defend her title?
The Up-and-Comer:
Alyssa Tokorcheck's first Spartan race was 2011′s Beast in Vermont. Since then she's been chipping away at the races she's run. Tokorcheck just took third place in Toronto and also took home a second place finish in the Carolinas in 2012. She's poised to be a competitor in this field of road and trail runners.
The Canadia Phenom
Rose-Marie Jarry, a 29 year old ex-Canadian national level 400 and 800 meter track and field athlete.
Jarry owns and runs her own all natural sports nutrition brand called Kronobar, all the while she keeps up her training for Spartan racing. She has run 17 Spartan Races since 2010. Jarry has won the Mont-Tremblant race 3 years in a row and Toronto 2 years in a row, she took the top spot in Malibu in 2010 and made podium every year after. Jarry also ran the Beast in Ottawa last week and finished second with a time of 3:58. In Pennsylvania, she will be looking to have a great race and a good time. Jarry has also joined Spartan Race in providing healthy recipes on our Spartan Blog!
The WildCards
The Shark:
Juliana Sproles aka "The Shark" will be onhand in Pennsylvania for her first Spartan race. Known as the World's Toughest Mudder, she claimed top spot in the Tough Mudder World Championships last year but can she hang with the Spartans?
The CrossFitter:
Another new name to be watching is Janice Marie Ferguson, who qualified for the SouthCentral CrossFit Games Regional in San Antonio, TX this year. An injury left her in a disappointing 30th place and while she intends to return to compete in CrossFit again, she now has her sites set on Sparta.
Be at the Spartan Pennsylvania race and watch the drama unfold in a Spartan Chicked Battle of Champions and Challengers. It all goes down Saturday, July 14th at 9 AM. More challengers might even get added to the line up so stay tuned!
There are still a few slots open so GET REGISTERED and watch the ladies take on the PA course for top spot and bragging rights this round!

4th tier Bradford beats Villa to reach cup final
Bradford City' James Hanson, left, celebrates with teammates after scoring a goal against Aston Villa during their English League Cup second leg semi-final soccer match at Villa's stadium in Birmingham, England, Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2013.(AP Photo/Alastair Grant)
LONDON - Bradford produced one of the greatest upsets in English football on Wednesday, overcoming the Premier League millionaires of Aston Villa to become the first fourth-tier club to reach an English cup final in more than half a century.
With a team that cost just 7,500 pounds ($12,000) to assemble, Bradford held on for a 4-3 aggregate victory after losing the League Cup semifinal second leg 2-1 at Villa Park.
"It's dreamland," Bradford manager Phil Parkinson said. "We said tonight we had a chance to make history and we have done it."
The cash generated by this remarkable cup run can help to safeguard the northern English team's future, having twice entered administration — a form of bankruptcy protection — since being relegated from the Premier League in 2001.
"To go to Wembley is going to keep the club going for quite a while, I imagine," Parkinson said. "For the city of Bradford, it's massive and I really feel that this can galvanize the area."
After plummeting down the football pyramid, Bradford is now the lowest-ranked former Premier League side, sitting 10th in England's lowest professional division.
"Our supporters have stuck with the club through some really tough times," Parkinson said. "Over the last 10 years there hasn't been a great deal to cheer about."
While Bradford's only major success came by winning the 1911 FA Cup, Villa has not only won the League Cup five times, but also both the English championship and FA Cup seven times and the European Cup once.
But reaching the semifinals was no fluke for the Bradford players who have already conquered Premier League sides Wigan and Arsenal in this remarkable season.
Yet, it was a nervy night initially for the history-makers in Birmingham after the hosts looked on course to overturn a 3-1 first-leg deficit when Christian Benteke scored just before half time.
But James Hanson headed Bradford level 10 minutes after the break and Andreas Weimann's 89th-minute goal for Villa came too late to spark a comeback.
Not since Rochdale in 1962 has a fourth-division side reached the League Cup final — in fact any major English final — though back then not all the top teams entered the competition.
Now Bradford will play Chelsea or Swansea in the final at Wembley Stadium on Feb. 24, with a Europa League place awaiting the winner. Swansea holds a 2-0 lead over Chelsea heading into Wednesday's second leg.
"As a kid playing football, you dream of Wembley and we're going to do it," said Bradford goalkeeper Matt Duke, who beat testicular cancer in 2008.
"We're going to take a League Two club to Wembley, we're going to take a massive following, it's going to be an amazing day and I'm looking forward to it."
The humiliating loss is the latest chapter in a wretched season for Villa, which is a point and a place above the Premier League relegation zone. The club is owned by American billionaire Randy Lerner.
"It's my responsibility ... I am absolutely gutted, disappointed, hurt, everything," Villa manager Paul Lambert said.
Next up is another cup clash with lower-league opposition as Villa travels to second-tier club Millwall on Friday in the FA Cup fourth round.
"You either lie down and take it, or you come out fighting," Lambert said. "I am certainly not going to lie down."

futurejournalismproject: Friend Him: Isaac Newton is now Online
The University of Cambridge has begun the process of posting its Sir Isaac Newton collection online. The works range include his college notebooks to later sketches, musings and drawings from his work on gravity, mathematics and optics.
Via the University of Cambridge:
The project aims to make Cambridge a digital library for the world and will move on from Newton to some of the University Library's other world-class collections in the realms of science and faith. These include the archive of the celebrated Board of Longitude and the papers of Charles Darwin…
…Launching the website with more than 4,000 pages of its most important Newton material, the University Library will upload thousands of further pages over the next few months until almost all of its Newton collection is available to view and download anywhere in the world…
…In opening up Newton's papers to the eyes of the world, the newly digitised archive reveals that not all his peers would have approved of his output being shared quite so openly.
Several of the manuscripts in the collection contain the handwritten line 'not fit to be printed', scrawled by Thomas Pellet, a Fellow of the Royal Society, who had been asked to go through Newton's papers after his death and decide which ones should be published.
Of course, if Newton and Pellet knew then what we know now, nothing created quite remains private.
This Is Important, You Should Know About It of the Day viathedailywhat:The despicable Internet Blacklist Bill — known as the "PROTECT IP Act" or S. 968 in the Senate and the "Stop Online Piracy Act" or H.R. 3261 in the House — has been discussed on TDW in the past, but crunch-time is upon us as Congress officially began holding hearings today on the most harmful Internet censorship legislation of our time.
An informative video on the bill's many ills has been posted above, but, in brief, the legislation, if passed, would essentially hand the Internet over to corporations, allowing them to sue and shut down any website that so much as hosts a link to copyrighted material.
Internet Service Providers could be forced to block social media sites, search engines could be required to delete results, and startups could lose their funding — all on the whim of the copyright holder.
Perhaps most distressing of all, however, is the fact that this bill, in true Orwellian fashion, does nothing to prevent actual piracy. The only thing it will succeed in doing is turning the Internet into a dystopic plutocracy where people are no longer free to share ideas and be creative for fear of running afoul of Big Business.
Despite what some would have you believe, the hearings are offensively lopsided, with pro-SOPA voices far outweighing those opposed. A slew of tech companies including Google, Yahoo!, Mozilla, Twitter, and AOL, have undersigned a full-page ad in today's New York Times opposing SOPA, but it's doubtful their voices will be heard by those who need to hear it.
That means it's up to you to get this terrifying, jobs-killing, Internet-breaking bill off the table for good. Here are a few things you can do:
— Reach out to your representatives in congress. Despite what they might think, they work for you. Remind them of that by e-mailing them this form letter (good), or look them up and write them a personal, heartfelt letter (even better).
— Sign this petition, and also this one.
— Share this post and/or the video above.
— Get the word out any way you can, because, soon, you may no longer be allowed to.

General Description: Great Basin Rattlesnakes (Crotalus oreganus lutosus) are medium-sized, heavy-bodied snakes with broad, triangular-shaped heads and rattles on the tail. A white facial stripe extends from behind the eye to the corner of the mouth. The dorsal pattern is variable, ground color usually tan or light gray. Dark blotches have a light center and even lighter borders. Black and white tail rings (the color of the light tail rings similar to body color). Dorsal blotches about as wide and the spaces between them.
These snakes are venomous. Do not attempt to handle rattlesnakes; rather, enjoy your good luck of finding one from a distance (minimum 4 feet away) and leave them alone.
Taxonomy: Pit Vipers Family (Viperidae). This was a subspecies of the Western Rattlesnake (Crotalus viridus), but the Western Rattlesnake was split into Prairie Rattlesnake (Crotalus viridus) of the Great Plains and the Northern Pacific Rattlesnakes (Crotalus oreganus) of the Intermountain and Pacific states. The Great Basin Rattlesnake is now Crotalus oreganus lutosus.
Technical Description: Body size long and heavy (to 65 inches). Ground color gray, buff, or tan. White facial stripe extends from behind the eye to the corner of the mouth. Dorsal pattern dark blotches edged with a darker color and light-colored borders. Tail with dark and light rings, but light rings similar to body color. Dorsal blotches about as wide and the spaces between them.
Diet: Small mammals to the size of rabbits, birds, lizards, snakes, and amphibians.
Habitat: Rocky outcrops, rocky slopes, rocky streambeds, and areas with ledges; from desert valleys to timberline.
Range: The species range extends from southwestern Canada to northern Mexico, and from the Pacific Coast east to Idaho, western Wyoming, and western New Mexico. This subspecies occurs in the Great Basin from northeastern California, all of Nevada except the southern tip (from the mountains north of Las Vegas northward), southern Oregon, southern Idaho, western Utah, northwestern Arizona.
Breeding: Give birth to live young, usually 4 to 12 (to 25), which are born in late summer and fall.
Similar Species: Superficially, the rattlesnakes all look similar, but if you count rostral scales (not recommended), no other rattlesnake has three or more internasals touching the rostral. Consider the eye stripe and the tail banding color and pattern.
Special Remarks: Venomous.
Note: All distances, elevations, and other facts are approximate.

A Creationist's Argument
Neil said:
Well... Maybe you have been able to explicate your option #3 in a truly satisfactory way, but I haven't been able to get a good summary of that.
Why anything at all?
This is by far Neil's best point, which has been kicked around since the greek sophists tried to explain what they recognized as purpose in nature, as a reconcilliation of the forces of the cosmos.
Even if I can give Neil the physics for exactly how, what and why, a human-like survival mechanism motivates the universe to move toward absolute symmetry, I can't tell him why that would be. I can justify all physics with a valid mechanism that defines an inherently insatiable imbalance in the energy of the universe that keeps it moving in one determined direction "forever and ever, amen"... but why does any of this exist to start with?
Why would there be any energy of the universe to begin with?..."that has an inherent insatiable imbalance that must, therefore, move forever toward the resolution of this inequity".
But it is this inherent effort toward reconcilliation that Neil sees as the "intent" behind the physics that justifies his conclusions about evidence for the "will" of a higher power.
Neil, I don't argue that atoms just bouncing around could properly form DNA, RNA, the correct proteins, etc. but this kind of physical "intent" manifests from some good physical reason for it in every knowable case, so why should I conclude that this is not the case now? Contrary to popular science, I don't deny the existence of this kind of teleology, so why should I make your leap of faith when it is not what is most naturally called for by every natural example of this?
Your mistake is to assume that human intent can possibly be different from any other form of expressed bias in nature, so you project that human-like intent exists behind an unknown natural bias, rather than the other way round.

Well, I'm flattered to be a subject of a post somewhere, given the obscurity of my blog! Don't they say that thousands of new blogs appear each day? Reiterating from my post downstream: I see your summary of your guiding principle, but what critics of physical explanations always ask for is that use some kind of physical reasoning, and actually *derive the values of the constants themselves.* Not just say there's some connection betwee life and matter, talk some roundabout themes like thermo and etc., but go through "Given...assuming...figuring... and that's why G = ... and alpha = ... and the electron mass is .... (in some relative sense) and ... why we don't have classical physics." Then I would have to be impressed. Until then, I can readily believe that those factors are what they are because some "purpose" beyond it all wants it that way. BTW: even if you don't agree with me, remember that being a "centrist" of your own sort, we are both pariahs to the conventional scientism dittoheads.
- island said...
I didn't want to give the impression that I have to avoid any and all questions from either side of this. Creationists are commonly accused of doing this, but they don't ever try that crap on me, because I'm the only one that's really being honest about this... in my not so humble opinion.
But no, Niel, I think that you missed the real point that I don't have to include a summary of "my guiding principle" to point out that you are making an unfounded leap of faith to assume that human "intent" is in any way differently motivated than any other form of expressed bias in nature.
You can't just assume that "whatever it is that breaths fire into our equations" is a supernatural being without breaking the continuity that is known to drive these kinds of occurrences in every other observable case in nature.
I may be a centrist, in that I believe that there is plenty of evidence to suggest that "intelligent life" is not here by accident, but that doesn't put me any closer to you, than I am to them over an issue where compromise, (the common recognition of a higher NATURAL purpose), is as out of reach as diametrically opposing ideolgical belief systems can put it.
Your own crossed-up world-view makes you a "half-exception" to the rule, I admit, so I'm closer to you than to either "side", but we're still very far apart when it comes to interpreting what the evidence is telling us.
The only reason that I can't give you the hard answer that you demand is because I can't do the advanced level of math that is required to quantify my "guiding principle" in Einstein's finite closed background, but maybe you can, and then we can settle this once and for all, even on your most unrealistic terms.
Write down the basis of wave functions in this background, including an expansion of the field in corresponding creation and annihilation operators - compute the stress-energy tensor in that background - quantitatively describe the vacua - and then work out the matrix elements of the stress-energy tensor between the vacuum and the one-particle states and let's see what happens.
Regardless, I defy you to prove that I don't have a valid, empirically supported theory even without doing all of that.
Thanks for your input though, Neil, you are always welcome here.

For now: No, I can't do that calculation. Keep in mind that the framework for such calculations was developed given physics as we already have it, but with most constants just given ("put in by hand.") They have no discernible logical relationship to other things are we *can* get by ultimate proto-reasoning (of the sort that would at least justify for example default forces being exerted along the line connecting the bodies, per the argument from principle of sufficient reason. That POSR is of course the whole problem with our universe "existing" and other "possible universes" not (?) existing in the first place.) Then there's those who think that there is an ensemble of other universes with all kinds of constants, just so ours can be a self-selection effect and not noteworthy. Clearly, those who think that, and those who think constants ought to be just what they are can't both be right, even though both claim the mantle of scientific correctness.
As for explaining the universe being the way it is by internal factors, instead of "externally:" I don't think that methods developed to hash out the internals would likely be appropriate for getting "outside" the whole thing and explaining it a priori. The origin and properties issue is indeed a philosophical issue. You have to use "philosophy" even to talk about what science is and what it ought to tell us, what to expect from the universe (we didn't have an a priori right to expect it to be discernible to given methods), and there are aguments about science and positivism (not everyone agrees with Kuhn, or Popper, the way they agree that Maxwell's equations seem to be correct.) I wouldn't pretend that quasi-theological speculation is "science." It is of course philosophy. However, thinking that science should be able to do such and such or about expectations etc. (versus the direct physical study) is also philosophy, however superior in some sense you may think it to be.
Thanks for the tolerant attitude. I can image how Motl et al would treat me (I may get to find out... .)

Clearly, those who think that, and those who think constants ought to be just what they are can't both be right, even though both claim the mantle of scientific correctness.
Ergo my previous point that implications of the observed universe rule the most conservative approach to origins science until somebody produces a difinitively correct ToE... or MAYBE just a real theory of quantum gravity.
In which case the antifanatics are in a hell of a bind when the anthropic principle is applied to the necessarily preferred model, if as Leonard Susskind says:
'The "appearance" of design is undeniable...'
Without an infinite number of potential universes, he's an idist, by rights, (since he doesn't seem to know about scientific concepts like Einstein's idea of purpose in nature), even though he was also careful to point out that "scientists won't see it that way" if the "landscape" doesn't exist.
His was a conditionally qualified statement of pre-existing intent to deny the implication of evidence if I've ever seen one.
WHAT A BUNCH OF IDEOLOGICALLY MOTIVED NON-SCIENTIFIC LOSER CRAP THAT IS!!!... lenny
- island said...
The origin and properties issue is indeed a philosophical issue
I insist that it's not when you have prediction which falls from the continuity that derives that the "origin of properties... comes from some good physical need for it.
You can use spookey notions to make it as philosophical as you want to, but the fact remains that there is no reason to stray from this particular continuity just because you are going beyond what can be known by humans, unless you have good reason for doing so, where neither a lack of knowledge, nor "implied intent", is enough of a reason, given what is known.

Thirty years ago, MG decided that it would no longer offer its open-top motoring to the US consumer, but there are people out there who still remember the name and dream of driving the small roadster. Fortunately, we might have some good news for those people. They're baaa-aaack. Now that Chinese automaker, Shanghai Auto (SAIC), is in control, the British brand might make its way over to the States again. Of course, for right now these are just rumors, but we can only hope that this sleek car will get to see U.S. soil.
The first rumored model to be offered will be the 2014 MG TF with a front-engine/rear drive layout and a soft-top design. A retractable hardtop will not be offered due to cost and complexity. Under the hood there will be a GM-sourced turbodiesel, a gasoline V6 engine, and a hybrid powertrain based on the system in SAIC's Rowe 750.
MG and SAIC have decided to provide the Mazda Miata with a little competition which could mean trouble for Mazda. Right now, it seems that Mazda is doing some damage with the Miata and its faithful followers, but one look at this rendering and people might decide to jump ship and cruise with the MG. We'll have to reserve our judgment until we see some specs and, of course, pricing.

I wouldn't care about the armor-kinis so much if the differences weren't so drastic for what's supposed to be the same item. The Black mageweave pants are a nice set of pants on men. We all know what they look like on women. I've seen fully-covering breastplates suddenly turn into 2 cups barely covering nipples when put on a different toon (one from the Satyr boss in Dire Maul comes to mind).
So yeah. Make more armor equally covering, or equally baring. The same item shouldn't have such drastically different appearances, in my mind. It's just ridiculous--though it *has* gotten better in more recent patches and expacs. Now my paladin just puts up with belly-baring tanking gear now and then. Yeah, I could "just transmog it away" now, but have you seen the most recent paladin tier? How pretty it is? I like the design, and half the chestpiece is missing because my tummy *has* to be shown compared to my raid lead's male protadin. So now I just cover it up with my guild tabard--which also defeats the purpose.
My mage and rogue may wear more revealing gear, but it should be just as revealing on their male counterparts.
As an aside since I'm already here: Ji Firepaw's line can be taken as "different races have different standards of beauty" and this is a strong reminder. But...it IS really just out of the blue on first meeting. I think maybe a few quests in commenting about the character's strength *and beauty* would be less problematic; then he knows and admires the character, and players have a better idea of his personality (it also makes sense for his "HEY BRO!" reaction to males, but if he had a similar reaction "Hey tough girl, we'll get along well!" it may work). Yeah, there are gregarious, blunt people in real life. But it was just...startling. Not so much offensive to me, but...definitely off, it seemed. Even more so than the random comments from other NPCs (for rep, greeting/exiting dialogue boxes) have been over the years.

(02/20/14) - Genesse County's newest charitable organization presented their first grant award, Thursday.
They call themselves the Gen Forward Network. They're a group of young philanthropists who are working for the greater good of Genesse County.
Thursday, the group donated more than $15,000 to local non-profit Red Ink Flint. Red Ink Flint runs a substance-free concert venue.
They plan to use the money for after school programs for kids.
"We had a pilot program last year called "No Child Left Online". The Gen Forward Grant will make that a year-round program, 24 events a year, all weather, we'll take kids canoeing on the Flint River, biking on the Flint River Trail," said Joel Rash, director of Red Ink Flint.
For more information about the Gen Forward Network or Red Ink Flint, you can visit their Facebook pages.

After a brutal mutiny aboard the ship Fulwada, the English lord, John Clayton, is marooned in an African Jungle along with his pregnant wife, Alice (Respectively Lord and Lady Greystoke). John builds a secure treehouse to protect from the beasts of the jungle, and spends a year providing for his wife and infant son before the two English nobles both die. A band of apesnote lead by the savage Kerchak goes to explore the Clayton's tree home shortly after John's death. The female ape, Kala, finds the young Lord Greystoke and adopts him, naming him "Tarzan", meaning "white skin".Kala raises Tarzan among the apes and he grows up as a creature of the jungle, fighting lions/leopards,note and having many unseen encounters with the natives. Tarzan finds his old cabin and teaches himself how to read over the course of a decade. One day a group of foreigners become stranded in the jungle by boat as well, one of them being his cousin William Cecil Clayton, and another being an American girl named Jane Porter. And we all know how that turns out.Tarzan of the Apes was published by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912note and takes place in roughly the same time period. It is the first of his Tarzan series, which spans over two dozen published books, most of which are now in the public domain.note Can be read here.
