What is RSS?
Last updated at 22:39, Monday, 04 February 2008
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is a service that delivers to you the latest news headlines, saving you the time and trouble of having to click from one area to another to get what you want.
For example, if you're a Carlisle United fan and all you want is to read the latest United headlines, you could use RSS to give you the Carlisle headlines.
How do I start using it?
First of all, you need a news reader. Though they all largely do the same thing, there are a lot of different ones available and you can either use them through your browser or via a downloadable application. They all allow you to subscribe to the RSS feeds you want.
Different readers work for different operating systems, so check that the one you choose is suitable before you download it.
Some different readers include:
- NewzCrawler
- FeedDemon
- Awasu
- Mac OS X
- Newsfire
- NetNews
- My Yahoo!
- NewsGator
Once you have decided on your reader, the next step is to decide what content you want. For example, if you want the latest news stories, visit the main news section and you will see an orange button on the left hand side.
By clicking on the button, you can subscribe to the feed in a number of different ways, including copying and pasting the URL directly into the news reader.
Some internet browsers, such as Firefox, Opera and Safari, can automatically get the latest RSS feeds for you. Check the appropriate website for more details.
Using RSS feeds on your site
The use of our RSS feeds as part of a website is encouraged, subject to our terms and conditions. We do not accept any liability for our RSS feeds.

Nanoscience and Technology
Nanoscience and technology is concerned with the understanding of quantum mechanical interactions between arrays of atoms or molecular species on the nanometre scale (10-10000 atoms). Using this knowledge, materials can be designed with specific physical, chemical or biological function.
Nanoscience includes concepts of how to analyse, measure and visualise structures of molecular dimensions, the design of new materials with specific properties and the study of how molecules interact with each other to form stable structures. The engineering of nanomachines, nanoelectronics and other nanodevices will assist in solving many of today's medical and practical problems.
In the nanoscience and technology major, you will draw on the strengths of all the basic sciences including chemistry, physics, maths, structural biology and materials science and engineering. This major reflects the interdisciplinary nature of these fields.
For more information on the program structure and content, view the Science Undergraduate Handbook.
Major outline
To best prepare for your nanoscience and technology major, you should consider taking units in junior mathematics, physics, chemistry and engineering.
You will choose from units in intermediate chemistry, physics and engineering, which will form the prerequisites for your senior units of study. It is important that you plan ahead and have an idea of which senior units you need to take for this major, in order to enrol in the appropriate intermediate units.
To complete your major, you must complete at least 24 credit points of senior units of study from the nanoscience and technology subject area. These include units in senior chemistry, physics and engineering.
Quantum Physics/Computational Physics & Lab
Statistical Mechanics/Condensed Matter Physics & Lab
Mechanics of Solids
Course accreditation
Bachelor of Science graduates with a major in nanoscience and technology are eligible for membership of the Australian Institute of Physics (AIP) or the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) if you include senior physics or chemistry respectively in your major.
Graduate opportunities
A wide variety of career options exist within the area of nanoscience for engineers, chemists, physicists, computer and materials scientists. With technological development and very high precision, engineers manufacture, machine and manipulate material to smaller and smaller dimensions. At the same time, chemists and materials scientists have developed methods for synthesising and assembling extremely small structures atom-by-atom.
Further study for major
Eligible students can proceed to the honours year, where you have the opportunity of studying physics to a higher level (with a wide choice of courses to be taken) and you also gain invaluable experience in undertaking a research project supervised by one or more members of staff, resulting in a thesis describing your work. Many students also end up publishing one or more scientific papers based on their honours research. After honours, many students continue into a higher research degree (MSc or PhD) to pursue careers in research.

Fine Arts 3D
During my internship at Freeman's, I worked with modern
and contemporary art, European art and also in the Asian arts department. I
dealt with modern and contemporary paintings, sculptures, prints, and photos;
European paintings and Asian Arts prints, sculptures, woodblocks, sacred items
and garments.
My responsibilities were need based and I rotated through different departments. Outside of my internship, I have been working with an antiques dealer for eight years. I also have an apprenticeship in rare coins and stamps. Working with dealers is different than working for an auction house. I have been responsible for cataloging, compiling expert lists, digitizing old notes, and taking notes on different lots
I learned about the delicacy of art archiving. The work I did at my internship informs the work that I do as an artist. I got to experience looking at images that are not in the public sphere and the private art market. Everything I make is a quote from "art history." I really love the Asian arts department because of the way it's organized. Everything is out in the open and arranged. I can look at everything at once. Being able to handle objects on a regular basis is really fantastic. I would like to be an appraiser or an expert in an auction business one day. I am looking at the Sotheby's Institute in London as a possible graduate program.
As a whole, internships are an incredibly valuable experience. A lot of schools have internship programs, but don't help students find them the way that Moore does through the Locks Career Center.

Santa Anita Derby winner Sidney's Candy and "now" horse Golden Itiz turned in their final works Sunday for the $200,000 Swaps Stakes at Hollywood Park Saturday. The Grade II Swaps is for 3-year-olds at 1 1/8 miles on Cushion Track.
Sidney's Candy was timed in 1:25.60 for seven furlongs under regular jockey Joe Talamo. Golden Itiz, winner of the Affirmed Handicap here on June 19, drilled five furlongs in 1:02.40 under exercise rider Jose Dominguez.
"He went really smooth all the way," said John Sadler, trainer of Sidney's Candy. The chestnut Candy Ride colt will try to rebound from a 17th-place finish in the Kentucky Derby on May 1.
Sadler said a combination of a bad post (20), a sloppy track and a fast pace were too much for Sidney's Candy to handle in Louisville. "We just gave him time to get his energy back up," said Sadler. "He's had plenty of works over this track since he came back."
Sadler said he might also enter Twirling Candy, another Candy Ride colt owned by Jenny Craig, but is unlikely to start. He comes off a smashing 7 ¾-length victory in a 6 ½-furlong race May 29.
"Golden Itiz worked alone this morning," said trainer Ron Ellis. "He worked with Rail Trip last time." Jockey Tyler Baze has the call back on the son of Tiznow, shooting for his fourth straight victory.
Ellis said he also planned to enter Pinal to assure an honest pace. Pinal was claimed for $50,000 by Jay Em Ess Stable, which also owns Golden Itiz, out of his last race, a wire-to-wire victory at six furlongs on turf July 4.
Other probable starters are Affirmed runner-up Skipshot (Joel Rosario) and Sham and Snow Chief stakes winner Alphie's Bet (Mike Smith).
Two other nominees will probably skip the race. Trainer Bob Baffert said that Concord Point ran hard winning the Iowa Derby at Prairie Meadows June 26 and would probably await another spot. Trainer Art Sherman said that he was leaning toward the opening-day Oceanside Stakes at Del Mar for Summer Movie, fourth in the Affirmed.
Marlang worked six furlongs in a bullet 1:14 on the Hollywood Park turf Sunday to signal his readiness for the $100,000 Grade III Sunset Handicap, closing-day feature at 1 ½ miles on turf July 18.
Marlang, a 5-year-old son of Langfuhr, will make his second start here for trainer Neil Drysdale after spending most of his career at Woodbine.
"I was very happy with his last race," said Drysdale, thinking he got a lot out of a strong allowance test here June 27 in his first start since September. Marlang pressed the early pace in the mile turf race before fading to fifth, beaten by 3 ½ lengths.
Marlang, owned and bred by Canadian Gus Schickedanz, won two stakes at Woodbine in 2008 and led all the way to win the Grade III Saranac Stakes at Saratoga that year. Joel Rosario has the Sunset call.
Other probable starters are Buenos Dias (Brice Blanc), Champ Pegasus (Joe Talamo), Dynamic Range (Rafael Bejarano), Great Siege (Tyler Baze) and Unusual Suspect (Corey Nakatani).
Trainer John Sadler aims for his third straight victory in the $150,000 A Gleam Handicap for fillies and mares Saturday when he plans to send out Emmy Darling in the Grade II test at seven furlongs.
Emmy Darling, a 4-year-old chestnut filly, scored her only other added-money victory here in the Landaluce in her second start in 2008. Victorious in four of 18 starts, Emmy Darling will try to bounce back from a troubled fifth-place finish in the Winning Colors Stakes at Churchill Downs May 31.
Sadler won the A Gleam in contrasting styles the past two years: Dearest Trickski wire to wire in 2008, and Evita Argentina from last in a field of nine last year. Joel Rosario, who rode Evita Argentina, has the call on Emmy Darling.
Other probable starters are Desert Stormer Handicap winner Free Flying Soul (Mike Smith), Milady Handicap winner Made for Magic (Omar Berrio), Moon de French (Martin Garcia), Sweet August Moon (Victor Espinoza) and Will O Way (Tyler Baze).
In the 55-year history of the A Gleam, only three trainers have won it three times: Clyde Turk and Hall of Famers Laz Barrera and Bobby Frankel.
Trainer Craig Dollase was all smiles in his stable office in Barn 54 North Sunday, basking in the afterglow of Awesome Gem's upset victory in the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup Saturday.
"I'll just have to decide which Gold Cup to run him in next," said Dollase in jest, noting that Awesome Gem had recorded his previous victory in the Hawthorne Gold Cup in Chicago last year.
The 7-year-old gelding, a golden oldie, ran in the gold and black silks of West Point Thoroughbreds in securing his first Grade I win in 36 starts.
"He came back well, but he was tired," said Dollase. "He laid his body down."
Dollase was happy and relieved with his first Gold Cup victory after being frustrated by two earlier near-misses. The 39-year-old trainer said he celebrated with a steak dinner at Fleming's in El Segundo Saturday night.
"Everything came together," said Dollase, praising jockey David Flores. "David gave him a great ride. He didn't panic. That was the winning move."
Jeff Bloom, vice president of West Coast operations for West Point, said president Terry Finley watched the race on television from his New Jersey home. "I'm so proud of this horse to add that elusive Grade I to his record," said Bloom.
Awesome Gem and runners-up Rail Trip and Richard's Kid could meet again in the $1-million Pacific Classic at Del Mar August 28.
Trainer Ron Ellis said that defending champion Rail Trip, the 2-to-5 favorite who finished second after a wide trip, also came back in good shape.
"I'm a little disappointed," said Ellis. "He will stay here and going to the Pacific Classic makes some sense."
FINISH LINES—Trainer A.C. Avila reported that Global Hunter, who broke down after winning the American Handicap here July 4 and underwent surgery on his right front ankle the following day, is making an encouraging recovery at Alamo Pintado Equine Medical Center in Los Olivos. "He's doing fantastic," said Avila of the 7-year-old horse, who had a plate and 16 screws inserted to stabilize the joint. If all goes well, Avila said Global Hunter would be transferred to Magali Farms before returning to his native Argentina in six months to begin stud duty…Jockey agent Tommy Ball has taken the book for Corey Nakatani, who returned to the circuit this weekend after trying his luck at Oaklawn Park and Churchill Downs. "When Churchill ends, it's either Saratoga or Del Mar, and Del Mar is the favorite place he's ever ridden," said Ball. "He's second there in stakes wins behind Chris McCarron." Ball said that Nakatani has taken a call on Unusual Suspect in the closing-day Sunset Handicap here next Sunday…Another veteran rider, Martin Pedroza, seeks his 1,001st Hollywood Park victory after joining the elite 1,000-club in style Saturday with a win in the Triple Bend Handicap, his first Grade I here. Pedroza, who turns 45 on July 20, became the 10th member of the elite fraternity. He has won 3,200 races overall.

If those are the prices I am definately going to be looking at other bow companies or at least used Martin's and Ryteras. I liked Martin because they built great bows that were lower price than anyone, the prices of the higher end bows are no different than other companies
I think the big change in price is because those bows have a solid riser no more 3 piece. the blade 4 had a 2 piece riser and that bow was 349. alot of people wanted a solid riser well they got it. The whole reasson martin did the 3 peace riser was to give the consumer a savings.
Do we even know if those prices are official? Wish someone from Martin will clear up this issue on the prices and limbs (made overseas or in the US) for us. If the Nemesis 35's limbs are not made by a reputable company then I am not buying a new bow this year. However, if it is then
May the love and grace of God help us not to miss our purpose in life.

I think I might be a good idea to give Joel a call so he can answer all your questions. Just a thought.
2011 Martin Firecat 400/NAP Apache Dropaway/Truglo Xtreme Sight/Custom 8" Stabilizer/Victory V6 Arrows
2007 Martin Jaguar /Trophy Taker Dropaway/Extreme Sight/Custom 21" Stabilizer/Victory V6 Arrows
Bow String Depot, Custom String Builders email us @ email@example.com
Those prices are roughly about $25-$30 above MAP, not suggested retail which is what you should most likely expect to pay.
Although it is second hand info My local dealer went on a martin tour 2 weeks ago and was told the limbs have been out sourced. I believe he said china. We live right down the road from the factory and have many friends working at the plant. I dont think this is a rumor. I think its a shame that they needed to outsource but i also believe it is a better limb than what they had previously. Everything else is made right here locally.
Ok, so I phoned Martin Archery, the limbs of the New Nemesis and Alien are sourced out, but to a company in the US! The prices are up as stated, the Nemesis 35 will retail around $850. If it shoots like I think it should then it still has my vote.
May the love and grace of God help us not to miss our purpose in life.

Letters to the editor - Tuesday
Praying does not establish religion
After reading Chris Verner's article about having a moment of prayer before beginning the board meeting, I was struck by how the focus on praying is not the real issue. This debate should not be about the ACLU or John Adams or even about legal rulings.
Praying, in most people's minds, does not establish a religion. I have yet to see where the Congress praying has established a law. On second thought — praying might help.
The wording in the First Amendment reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion ..." If however, someone was required to pray a particular prayer (which is not the case here), this act should be resisted by the people and the courts as being unconstitutional.
The act of praying does not make a law or establish a religion. The first amendment goes on to say, "or the prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The question should be, how is it that one person or three people in this case, can claim to be insulted by people praying? They are not required to participate. These people can pray their own prayer or not pray at all.
The rest of us should be insulted that they could even claim to be insulted and taken seriously. Political correctness has again reared its ugly head, this time as a dictatorship by the minority and suffered by the courts. This should be the focus of our attention and is the real issue. How long will Christians continue to suffer at the hands of atheists, the disenchanted and the courts?
— Richard Roberts
Openness, please
Below is part of a question I sent via e-mail to Town of Landis Manager Reed Linn and his response to the question.
"Dear Mr. Linn,
"Why does a person who asks for information that is public records have such a problem in getting it?
"For one, recently I have sent you emails inquiring as to why the TV monitor is not on during recent town board meetings."
(His response:)
"Ms. Cherry,
"I apologize for the delay in your request. We are having some difficulties with our recording system and I thought I would have everything back on line before now. The systems indicates that everything was recording, but when you play back all you get is a blank disk. I will continue to work on the problem and if it is repaired, I'll forward you a copy of the DVD. If not, a copy of the minutes will be available for you after the board has approved them at the next regular meeting.
"Sincerely, Douglas R. Linn, Town Manager, Town of Landis"
Mr. Linn stated "I will continue to work on the problem and if it is repaired." All that is, is stall tactics. He should have made the statement, "when it is repaired," not "if it is repaired."
At the retreat held this past Saturday, Mayor Furr talked a little about the town's website. In my opinion, it is a shame and disgrace they let the website administrator keep stacking the folders (of minutes) on his/her desk and not putting them on the website.
Gee whiz, I forgot they (Town Council, as they liked to be called) wanted Mr. Linn's title to be changed from town administrator to town manager to keep certain people from looking at the records.
There are two council member seats up for election this year and I hope we will see some new faces in those positions.
— Nadine Cherry

"The Cartersville Schools Foundation is thrilled to be partnering with the Shaw Family Foundation in the creation of the GateKey Permanent Endowment," Cartersville Schools Foundation President Lisa Bell said. "It's both exciting and encouraging when others recognize the value of GateKey and impact the program is having on our students.
"We are very greatful to the Shaws for their support of GateKey as well as the many others whose financial support makes the dream of attending college a reality for many of our students."
The GateKey scholarship program, which began in 2007 through the Cartersville Schools Foundation, awards college scholarships for eligible students beginning as early as the fourth grade while holding students accountable for their grades and behavior throughout their academic career.
The scholarships are two-year scholarships awarded for Chattahoochee Technical College or Georgia Highlands College. However, Bell said recipients can petition the foundation to use scholarship funds toward other colleges.
She explained the GateKey program takes students who are considered to be college-bound, but may lack the finances or other support systems to make it to college once they graduate.
Gov. Nathan Deal previously announced the state's REACH scholarship will be modeled after the GateKey model, which Superintendent Howard Hinesley brought to the city after serving as a superintendent in a Florida public school district with a similar program.
"Our foundation has been involved with character education for years," Jason Shaw, president of the Shaw Family Foundation and Cartersville-Bartow Community Foundation board member, said in a press release. "After attending a GateKey graduation ceremony, we were particularly impressed — and inspired — by the program and knew that we wanted to help them in a significant and meaningful way."
David Aft, president of the Community Foundation of Northwest Georgia, spoke in support of endowments.
"I think a lot of people don't really understand how endowments work," Aft said in the release. "They are a renewable source of funding for organizations and projects we care about."
He explained the money in a permanent endowment is invested, and a small portion of the endowment is distributed annually to the organization. Aft added the principal anchors the fund and is never touched, thus allowing the endowment to grow over time.
"Endowments give an organization future stability," Aft said. "So many organizations only think about the current year and don't have the luxury of planning for the future, but endowments make that possible. They also reassure donors that the organization plans to be around for a long time.
"It is our understanding that this endowment will provide a small portion of the funding that will help GateKey Scholarship recipients."
There currently are 66 students in the GateKey program, seven of whom are enrolled at Georgia Highlands, University of Georgia, Mercer University and Berea College. Bell said the foundation will be selecting its scholarship recipients this week.

My name is Lynn, though most know me as Cloud from the old FFT (aka Clous), before I dropped the masterlist and converted my blog into an independent rp blog. (Twitter.)
This, in case you can't tell, is my personal where I reblog things related to some of my interests (which revolves around mostly Final Fantasy, Doctor Who/Torchwood, Supernatural, Marvel (movie-verse and comic-verse), Disney, Kingdom Hearts, Tales series, Pokemon (particularly Eevees and Growlithe/Arcanines), Fire Emblem, dogs, cats, various other animals, and... some anime-- like Trigun and Fullmetal Alchemist). Oh, and... I'm a Miyabi fangirl. Just an FYI. :|
I also make a lot of stupid text posts, occasionally rp here (because it's my personal, I do what I want), rant, ramble, and post drabbles. Oh, and my doodles. I doodle a lot and I occasionally post them here.

Just curious if anybody has suggestions for a short hike on Friday. By short I mean less than an hour roundtrip.
Something near Jackson and hopefully involving waterfalls and swimming.
We are headed up Friday morning and maybe I'll take my wife over the Kanc. I've been over that route a few times. Any must see/stops going over the Kanc? I'm not too familiar with that area.

Girl released after being struck by vehicle
A female was struck by a vehicle Sunday evening while walking near Oakdale Apartments on Cassville Road in Cartersville.
According to Cartersville police, the teen was airlifted but released Sunday evening with only minor injuries.
Man steals pies, chair from Cracker Barrel
A Bartow County Sheriff's Office deputy was dispatched to Cracker Barrel, 5631 Highway 20, Cartersville, at 4 p.m Sunday in reference to a shoplifting report. Upon arrival the deputy met with the store manager.
According to the incident report, she told the deputy that on Friday, Nov. 30, at 11:46 a.m. a white male in his mid-50s walked into the store and took two pies from the cashier counter. He then took the pies to his truck without paying. He re-entered the store and ate a meal. After his meal he went to the restroom, then exited the store without paying.
Allegedly as the man was leaving, he picked up a Georgia Rocking Chair from the porch and placed it in his truck and drove away.
The store manager advised the officer that the incident had been recorded on surveillance cameras.
Dirt stolen, resident believes to be conspiracy
On Saturday at 4:55 p.m., a Bartow County Sherriff's Office deputy was dispatched to 18 Madison Circle, Adairsville, in reference to a theft report.
Upon arrival, the deputy met with a man who reported an unknown person(s) took dirt from his yard causing holes and uneven patches. He believed that residents on both sides of him had been working together to remove dirt, causing the rain water to drain on his side.
The man told the deputy he noticed one of the plants near his walkway had been "dug up" and moved 2 inches and that dirt had been removed from under his walkway. According to the incident report, he also said that while on vacation someone had entered his residence, removed his bath tub and tampered with the plumbing, causing him to smell mustard gas and filling his residence with a sewage smell.
The man told the deputy he saw someone at night under a tarp removing dirt from his yard. The thief ran away before he could get a description. Supposedly he had awakened at night to find neighbors looking in his windows.
The deputy observed the area where the man stated dirt had been taken and found it to be covered with grass. He found no sign of forced entry to the residence.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Louis Roederer Cristal, the first Prestige Cuvée, was created in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. One hundred and thirty-four years later, it remains faithful to its origin, inspired by elegance, purity, and precision. "It is a blue sky, without any clouds," says Cellar Master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon.
Cristal 2004 – a highly seductive vintage reminiscent of the classic 1988 – has a slender, almost living freshness. Highly contemporary in its harmony and immediate seductiveness, it nevertheless remains first and foremost a great classic of northern Champagne, combining freshness, energy and an almost chalky mineral quality. The Cristal hallmarks are evident: purity, precision and the unique harmony of flavors associated with the subtle power of our historic vines, located on the finest Champagne Grand Cru terroirs.
"Brilliant yellow color displaying light amber nuances, combined with an ultra-fine, persistent, soft effervescence. There's an intense, highly expressive bouquet on the first nose! The aromatic elegance and precision of Chardonnay is apparent: white fruit, sweet pollen, fine citrus fruit and very pure minerality. After a few minutes, the aromas move on to more confit, lightly grilled hints. The bouquet is rich and sweet, almost generous, remaining precise and impeccably refined. The bite in the mouth is full and creamy, revealing an incredible concentration of juicy fruits: yellow peach, apricot, mango and others. This silky, meaty concentration, which is both dense and soft – and typical of great pinot noirs – is immediately combined with a sophisticated touch of acidity, bringing the wine alive with minerality. The overriding impression is one of a true harmony of flavors, senses and silky textures...Absolute sensuality." – Jean Baptiste Lécaillon, Cellar Master.
"The 2004 Brut Cristal has put on quite a bit of weight since I first tasted it earlier this year. It is a powerful, structured Cristal layered with considerable fruit. Chardonnay seems to play the leading role in 2004, at least today. Cristal is often accessible young, but that is far from the case here. This is a serious, painfully young Cristal that will require considerable patience. Readers who are willing to spend some time with the wine today will find a super-impressive, complete Cristal. The 2004 Cristal is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. This is Lot L033331E100008, disgorged January, 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2034."
97 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Exceptionally rich and dense, an exceptional wine that reveals itself in layers, from the first fruit attack to the mineral texture and the way it gradually fills the mouth. Selected from old vines, there is a great flavor in this wine, with the promise of many years' aging. Cellar Selection."
97 Points
Wine Enthusiast
"A pale beauty with delicate power, energy and dimension, the 2004 Cristal is an impressive follow-up to the 2002. Scents of apple blossom hint at the depth and clarity fo the fruit, layered with ginger and spice in a flavor delivered over the course of several minutes. The freshness of the wine comes through in a subtle hum rather than anything as overt as a buzz, bright, airy and unstoppable."
97 Points
Wine & Spirits
"Light, bright gold. Spicy citrus and orchard fruit aromas are complemented by chalk, white flowers and a touch of smokiness. Taut, linear lemon and orange rind flavors give way to deeper pear in the mid-palate and pick up notes of honeysuckle and toasted grain with air. Still very young but shows excellent promise. Finishes with good mineral cut and sappy persistence."
94 Points
International Wine Cellar
"Floral, citrus and spice aromas and flavors are at the forefront of this filigree, delicate Champagne, which is harmonious and well-defined, with a long aftertaste of roasted nut and toast. Very dry. Drink now through 2028."

no one should be surprised in a tyrannical government.
This is banality of evil at it's finest.
That is child abuse!
The Horde are not terrorist....they are good people.....hehehe......:)
BWAHAHAHAHA! Tyrannical government... that's rich.
BAAHHAahbhahbahhba lmaocakes
The NSA must be very bored.... wow players don't have time to talk about terrorist attacks they are to busy grinding
What?? You mean all those people who rant, rave, threaten and punk other players are now under suspicion of being a real world threat?? Maybe they should go after the spammers selling gold. After all, they get their gold by hacking accounts and most live in various countries.
And, of course, Yahoo! doesn't even try to hide that they allow people to spy on them by disabling SSL by default. So why are we so worried about those that at least try to secure most of it?
I think its funny this is all coming out now, those of us who worked for NSA were like.... They're seriously playing WOW? ROFL Come on...
You can't be serious. I play World of Warcraft and I just bought an Xbox One. #wtfNSA
For the Horde!!!!!
I hate to play Devil's Advocate here but the dismissive tone in, "More than anything, these documents show just how paranoid the NSA had become" is unwarranted. With all other forms of communication monitored and locked down (even email as the whole PRISM debacle shows) I'm sure the masterminds behind the more sophisticated terror cells have thought of using WoW and other MMOs as a communications medium. I'm all for balancing privacy with security but ridiculing the NSA for thinking of this ignores the potential problems here. Long shot but you can't blame them for exploring this as a possibility.
The paranoia is buried in the assumptions. "We have to completely infiltrate the game to find the bad guys." Note that the question of whether the bad guys actually existed was never raised. No one seriously asked: "Wait a minute. What if the reason we aren't finding evidence is because the evidence isn't THERE?"
In other sections, the report claimed that online games could be used to directly fund terrorism, or that players could build sophisticated 3D maps of real-world areas then use biometric monitors to measure human responses. It's outlandish.
"or that players could build sophisticated 3D maps of real-world areas"
Good point, just shows how ignorant they were of the game itself lol. Maybe they should have tried snooping in on Minecraft then.
KZukowski:Maybe they should have tried snooping in on Minecraft then.
They probably did & do.
Dogs are great judges of character, and if your dog doesn't like somebody being around, you shouldn't trust them.

Ivan Santaromita represented the BMC Racing Team in Saturday's 22-man breakaway that went up and over l'Alpe d'Huez before shattering as its cooperation ended and the overall contenders pushed the pace at the Critérium du Dauphiné.
Pinotti Withdraws
Santaromita's group was never allowed more than a four-minute's advantage in the 187.5-kilometer stage that included five categorized climbs. "I knew it would be hard to go all the way to the finish because there was a guy from Astana in our group who was about three minutes off the lead," Santaromita said. "Plus, Sky was pulling hard all day behind." Santaromita was caught inside of 40 km to go while Brent Bookwalter registered the BMC Racing Team's best finish, crossing the line 2:22 (22nd place) after Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) out-sprinted Jakob Fuglsang (Astana Pro Team) for the stage win. Chris Froome (Sky Procycling) finished in a small group 16 seconds later to keep the overall lead with a day to go. BMC Racing Team's Marco Pinotti did not start the stage. "After the time trial, I did two stages where I felt like the shadow of the rider I am," Pinotti said. "I could barely help the team and felt powerless. The doctor advised me not to risk going deeper into a fatigue mode, so looking at the stages coming up, we decided not to start." BMC Racing Team's Larry Warbasse withdrew midway through the race, also suffering from fatigue.

Women's Health
New Clue to Predict Diseases in Women?
Oct. 9, 2012 -- Evaluating blood levels of a hormone made in the brain and the gut may help predict diseases in women, according to new research.
High levels of the hormone neurotensin appear linked to women's risk of diabetes, breast cancer, and cardiovascular disease such as heart disease or stroke, according to Swedish researchers.
The researchers looked at levels of a substance called proneurotensin. It turns into neurotensin.
"Proneurotensin is the first blood biomarker ever that can independently identify elevated risk of three major disease threats to women's health," says Olle Melander, MD, PhD, professor of internal medicine at Lund University in Malmo, Sweden. He led the study.
The research is published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
About the Gut Hormone
Neurotensin is released after meals, especially after eating high-fat foods. It's involved in the digestion of food, the speed at which food moves through the gut, body temperature, and pain sensation, Melander says.
More recently, he says, scientists have found it is involved in regulating appetite and feeling full. Some research suggests that neurotensin release is disturbed in obese people.
Now, Melander and others think that the hormone may also affect the risk of heart attack, other cardiovascular diseases, and breast cancer.
Gut Hormone and Disease Study
Melander and his team focused on men and women enrolled in the Malmo Study. It included nearly 29,000 men and women from Malmo, Sweden.
For this study, the researchers focused on 4,632 men and women who had blood levels of proneurotensin measured between 1991 and 1994.
They were then an average age of 57. The researchers followed these men and women until January 2009.
They looked to see who developed diabetes, cardiovascular diseases including heart disease and stroke, or breast cancer, and who died.
For women, but not men, higher levels of the hormone were linked with getting diabetes, breast cancer, and cardiovascular diseases, as well as dying.
Overall, the increased risk was 50% for death from cardiovascular disease and 33% for getting cardiovascular disease. But those with the highest levels had an even higher risk.
The elevated gut hormone may reflect underlying disease susceptibility, the researchers say.
They found a link or association, not a cause and effect.
In the future, finding high blood levels of the hormone may help identify ''hidden high risk'' women who don't appear to be at risk for heart disease or breast cancer, Melander says.
Why does the link hold only for women? "We do not really know," he says.
"However, studies of animal models have clearly shown that the female sex hormone estrogen stimulates the growth of cells producing neurotensin, and women obviously have a higher lifetime exposure to estrogen than men," he says.
In his research, Melander has found women have much higher levels of proneurotensin than men do. However, the process by which the hormone affects disease risk is not fully understood yet, he says.
Melander is an inventor on a patent application for using proneurotensin in disease prediction. A co-researcher is president of the company that holds those patent rights, Sphingo Tec GmbH.

Turning to pensions, a SEC filing states that:[T]he Purchaser shall assume all liabilities that relate to providing post-retirement welfare benefits to Post Employees, and the Seller shall retain all liabilities that relate to providing post-retirement welfare benefits to Former Post Employees.
That is, Bezos assumes the costs of current employees' future retirement costs, but not past employees' current retirement costs.

Everyday THOUSANDS of webcomics update with new content, inkOUTBREAK helps keep it all in check. We try to simplify reading webcomics, so you can just take a quick break during your day, or have a full dive into some great long-form webcomics.
Sign up and start reading webcomics
So Many Webcomics, So Little Time
You will be amazed how many webcomics update everyday. With thousands of comics to choose from you will almost never have a day without something new to read. Everything is streamlined, to help you get the most out of this unique medium in the least amount of time.
Read At Your Pace
No matter how many comics you follow, ink will let you know when they update, and keep your right where you left off. That means no more spoilers by seeing the most recent update first, no extra steps having to click links in an RSS feed. You will go from taking an hour to read your favorite comics, to a quick coffee break.
Long Form Comics
Ever have a hard time getting into longform comics or just hate the spoilers when trying to find where you left off? Let them stack up on ink, and pick it back up where you left off. Each time the comic updates you can choose to PAUSE the comic until next time you log in, leaving it up to you when you are going to catch up with some binge reading of your favorite story.
This is Your List
With thousands of comics to follow, you are bound to find some that are just not your thing. With a simple click you can lock out comics, and their creators from hopping into your comic QUEUE and social feed. If you ever want to give them a second chance, you just need to check your settings.
Everyone Is Different
So many webcomics sites will tell you who to follow, what comics are "the best", well doesn't that change for each individual? We built ink around finding out what matters to YOU. This mean every comic you follow, every update you thumb up, every tag you select counts towards and overall path for webcomics. After you are done reading your favorites, ink will be giving you suggestions for new comics to read based on this path.
It does not just stop there, also if you have friends or follow creators on ink they can influence what you are reading as well. If they have horrible suggestions, you can always ignore the the specific suggestions.
Keeping Up To Date : Socially
Not only does ink keep you up to date with your comics, but as you follow comics it begins to build a list of creators to keep you up to date with. This isn't just "Hey I updated my comic", alot of creators post jokes and some behind the scene looks at the creative process behind their comic as well as desert pictures. These feeds come in from both tumblr and twitter, with no need to have an account except for your ink account.
Also in your social feed you will see what your friends are up to as far as reading, new favorites, and forum posts.

Hi, I don't have a tutorial for the B/W city, but you can check the WIP post if you haven't already.
It feels unlikely that I will write a proper tutorial, but the technique is very simple. There is not much besides textures, drop shadow and borders. However, if you need some more specific help I would try to provide it.

Hypochondriac's Of The World: Unite!
I walked into the K-2 computer lab, ready to service one of the desktops.
Roughly twenty 1st graders sat clicking away - their darling young faces illuminated by bright LCD screens; their heads gently cradled by giant plastic headphones - as Reading Blaster assaulted their senses.
In the back of the room sat the teacher and her assistant - the latter wearing large sunglasses despite the fact that it's currently February 13th in Rochester, NY and we haven't seen the sun in approximately 5 months.
"Oh good, are you here for my desktop?"
"I am! Which one is it?"
"It's #20, on the end of the row there."
That's when I first hear the sound. It echoed forth from the back row like a shotgun blast in an empty cave. I held my breath, made my way down the row, and took my seat at the computer. A few seconds passed before another shot rang out, this time closer. Too close, in fact. Right behind me.
"You're going to want to get out of here as soon as you can! This whole building is sick!"
As I turn to acknowledge the teacher's warning, I'm assaulted by a third explosion. The attack had officially begun. I looked directly behind me and saw an adorable little girl wiping her nose onto the pink sleeve of her Dora sweatshirt. Before I could turn back towards my computer, another shot was heard from across the lab. Then another, from the same area, but definitely a different weapon. Within moments, the lab was filled with a deafening chorus of filth.
"She's got pink eye!"
She. With the sunglasses. Of course.
Quickly, I repaired the computer and stood to make my escape. The air in the lab had become thick with invisible bacteria and viruses - unseeable by the eye, yet unavoidable by the immune system - like the countless billions of galaxies that mankind has yet to discover across the vast, cold, and dark expanse of the universe.
My eyes plotted the quickest path to the exit before my brain remembered that I had just been touching keyboards and mice that live in the warzone - each of them hundreds of times more infectious than any of the 3-month old magazines that rest on the table at your doctor's office. Without breaking stride, my brain took command and rerouted me to the nearest Purell dispenser. Calmly walking past it, I silently pumped three squirts into each palm, exited the lab, and began my defense.

Just wondering if we could piece together a collections of "Laws".
Rothbard's Law: no one ever resigns.
Rockwell's Law: Always believe the opposite of what state officials tell you, and the corollary, always do the opposite of what they advise you.
Rothbard's Law: Everybody specializes at what they are worst at (e.g. Freidman, and money).
Wood's Law: Once the markets have increased the standard of living, governments enact laws to do so, and claim that those laws are the cause of that increase (e.g. the abolition of chid labor).
Abstract liberty, like other mere abstractions, is not to be found.
- Edmund Burke
David Friedman's Law, from 'The Machinery of Freedom', 2nd edition) that state services typically produce about one half the value to consumers of voluntary (non-profit or for-profit) provision, at up to twice the cost.
Where there is no property there is no justice; a proposition as certain as any demonstration in Euclid
Fools! not to see that what they madly desire would be a calamity to them as no hands but their own could bring

Sorry for not contributing to the thread
I'd be interested as to how he deduces those figures? The book is on my wishlist, but sadly, not owned by me - yet.
The difference between libertarianism and socialism is that libertarians will tolerate the existence of a socialist community, but socialists can't tolerate a libertarian community.
its not serious, its meant as a quirk, so whenever we hear about studies that are broadly in line with the outcome we can say ,Friedman's Law !
he writes :
Skeptical readers may want evidence for my
claim that it costs any government twice as much as it should to do
anything. A domestic example is the Post Office; private postal
companies make a profit delivering third-class mail at half what
the Post Office charges to deliver it a loss. A foreign example is
Russia's government-run economy, which invests twice as much of its
GNP as we did at a comparable period in our development to achieve
the same growth rate. Japan invests privately at the same rate as
Russia and gets twice Russia's growth rate.
Leslie Chapman, Your Disobedient
Servant (London: Chatto and Windus, 1978). A fascinating
first-hand account of the mechanics of Friedman's first
law—why things cost twice as much when governments do them.
The author was a British bureaucrat who tried to reduce the costs
of his part of the bureaucracy by modest measures such as not
heating buildings that nobody occupied. He succeeded technically,
reducing costs by about 35% with no reduction in output, but failed
politically; he is no longer a bureaucrat.
I feel no sympathy for your laziness which you cover and disguise as woes and ills (to welfare queens)Theft fuels royalty in DemocracyThe only social responsibility, is Personal ResponsibilityThe man who works on Sunday, has a job on Monday.
- Justin DuBois
Parkinson's Law: "Work expands so as to fill
the time allotted for its completion."
Lew Rockwell: "The pattern repeats itself so often that it almost seems to be a law of history: the radicals who change history must do so over the resistance of the moderates, who claim to be friendly to the same cause, but somehow always end up on the side of established interests." (Moderates and Radicals)
Bank Run's law if interventionism:
Any highly regulated market inevitably produces shoddy goods.
Individualism Rocks
I've got one for protectionism but I don't know who said it.
When one goes to protect one group and does this at the expense of all groups, or individuals, he rarely helps that group better than a market could have otherwise.
Murphy's Law: Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.
I have a whole book of these, The Rules of the Game by Paul Dickson.
I happened to open it up and look at this one first.
Jacquin's Postulate on Democratic Governments: No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session.
Some of them are quite weird.
Morley's Conclusion: No man is lonely while eating spaghetti.
Sattlinger's Law: It works better if you plug it in.
Democracy means the opportunity to be everyone's
slave.—Karl Kraus.
O'Rourke's Law: "When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators."
Bit of explanation of some of these laws here. Rothbard's sociological laws.
This leads me to North's law of bureaucratic expansion:
Any outrageous interpretation of a bureaucratic rule, if widely resisted by the public, will lead to an increased appropriation for the bureaucracy within two fiscal years.
There is an exception.
If the enforcement of the interpretation requires major expenditures for new equipment, the process will take only one fiscal year.
If the enforcement of the interpretation requires major expenditures for new equipment, the process will take only one fiscal year.
Other discussion. Here too.
Focard Transfer Principle: every contact leaves a trace. In criminal forensics this is expressed as a triangle- victim, scene, and perpetrator. Each will take some of the other two, and leave some of itself on them as well.
Bastiat's Law: "Between a good and a bad economist this constitutes the whole difference - the one takes account of the visible effect; the other takes account both of the effects which are seen, and also of those which it is necessary to foresee."
(Bob) Murphy's Law: The truth is - to a first order of approximation - the exact opposite of whatever Paul Krugman says.
Voltaire's Law: Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value — zero.
Clayton's Iron Law of Human Behavior: No matter how stupid, if it can be done, someone will do it... and even if it can't be, someone will try.
Clayton -

Name: Lisa Wheeler
Occupation/title: Director of Education, Booth Western Art Museum
City of residence: Cartersville.
Family: My daughter is Whitney Wheeler, my son and daughter-in-law are Will and Erin (Butler) Wheeler. My significant other is Roger Waters and my pets are Vern the dog, and cats Apple and Bebo.
Education: Cartersville High School; Bachelor of Science in Art Education, University of Georgia; Master of Education in Art Education, University of West Georgia.
How did you become involved with the Booth and have you always wanted to work with a museum and/or in the field of education?
A: My first teaching position in Bartow County was teaching art at Emerson Elementary School. Later, I ran a pottery business, and then worked in museum exhibit design and development. In the mid-1990s I was hired to teach art at Cartersville Primary and then at Cartersville Middle School. In 2001, while the Booth was still under construction, I was hired as director of education. I feel very fortunate to have been hired before the museum opened to develop our educational and docent programs. I had considered working in art museums early in my career, but now see that my other work experiences were important in preparing me for this job.
What sets the Booth apart from other museums in the state in terms of its education programs?
A: The museum houses a collection of art of the American West as well as the Presidential and Civil War galleries. The uniqueness of this collection located here in the South enables us to teach not only visual art concepts and art history, but also a variety of unique social studies programs based on subjects like westward expansion, presidential history and the Civil War. Our language arts program, "What's the Story? Connecting Art & Literacy," addresses language arts and literacy skills in grades K-5. If you think about it, many of our children may never experience the West firsthand. The programs at the Booth give them an opportunity to explore Western history and culture in a museum setting.
What role do you feel the education programs play in the community?
A: I think our programs cross over generations in the community. Our older visitors enjoy the museum because the art collection and our programs bring back memories of Western television shows and Saturdays spent at the movies watching movie stars like John Wayne and Jean Arthur. For families we offer our Cowboy Festival and Symposium in October and Cowboy Gathering in March. Both events give families an opportunity to experience aspects of the American West. Our school programs for pre-school through high school students are designed to be fun, hands-on and educational. Our goal is to help our youngest audiences become lifelong museumgoers. Our community is very fortunate to have a resource such as Booth Western Art Museum. We regularly welcome students from metro Atlanta and surrounding communities. As the result of recent budget cuts, Bartow County students have not had the opportunity to utilize the resources we offer at the Museum during the current school year. It is my sincere hope we'll be able to welcome back our Bartow County students in the 2013-2014 school year.
While working with the museum, have you had a favorite piece or exhibit pass through that you wish was a mainstay?
A: Personally, I enjoy the more modern and contemporary pieces more than the traditional works of art. However, in answering this question I realized that the piece I miss the most is Sunset on the Plains by Albert Bierstadt. It's traditional and features a glowing sunset with buffalo grazing in a field. He worked on beautiful images designed to inspire people to move to and settle the West. It was on loan to us from the Autry National Center in Los Angeles.
What do you consider your greatest personal or professional achievement?
A: My greatest personal achievements are my children. The two professional achievements that mean the most to me are being selected as the 1998 Teacher of the Year for Cartersville City Schools and last week when we won the Georgia Museums and Galleries 2013 education award for our What's the Story? Connecting Art & Literacy program.
What would most people be surprised to learn about you?
A: I think most people would be surprised to learn that my first teaching job out of college was teaching wood shop to eighth-grade boys — and no, there were no accidents with the power tools.
Where is your favorite place to be in Bartow County?
A: My favorite place is either the Modern Wing on the second floor of the museum or at home with my pets.
What is the best advice you've ever been given?
A: Early in my career one of my principals advised me to "Sleep on it. Don't make a quick rash decision. Get a good's night sleep and in the morning you'll know what to do." That has proven to be the best advice I ever got.
Do you have a personal philosophy?
A: Take things one day at a time. Enjoy life and don't sweat the small stuff.

text: The single-day road Le Samyn road bicycle race covering 191.9 km in Belgium didn't give any podium spots to the BMC Racing Team. It was, however, good training for the bike pros because part of the route covered the same ascents as the coming Belgian Classics. Right from the start of the race there was a group of five front-runners, who were placed only thirty km from the finishing line. "Then both Chad Beyer and sprinter Alexander Kristoff suffered a fault, which made it impossible to get ahead. There were many attacks, with the race ending in the mass sprint without any BMC participation," said team manager René Savary. The final went in favor of the young Belgian Jens Keukeleire (Cofidis).

SAW PALMETTO Overview Information
Saw palmetto is a plant. Its ripe fruit is used to make medicine.
Saw palmetto is best known for its use in decreasing symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hypertrophy, BPH). According to many research studies, it is effective for this use.
Saw palmetto is used for treating certain types of prostate infections. It is also sometimes used, in combination with other herbs, to treat prostate cancer.
Some people use saw palmetto for colds and coughs, sore throat, asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and migraineheadache. It is also used to increase urine flow (as a diuretic), to promote relaxation (as a sedative), and to enhance sexual drive (as an aphrodisiac).
How does it work?
Saw palmetto doesn't shrink the overall size of the prostate, but it seems to shrink the inner lining that puts pressure on the tubes that carry urine.
SAW PALMETTO Uses & Effectiveness
Possibly Ineffective for:
- Enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia; BPH). There is conflicting and contradictory research about the benefits of saw palmetto for prostate symptoms. Some research has shown that saw palmetto might modestly improve symptoms such as going to the bathroom at night in some men. But higher quality and more reliable research seems to indicate that saw palmetto has little or no benefit for reducing these symptoms. Any benefit is modest at best.
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Treating prostate infections and chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Saw palmetto doesn't seem to help prostate infections or chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
- Prostate cancer. Research studies to date have found that taking saw palmetto doesn't seem to prevent prostate cancer.
- Baldness. Some men report that using saw palmetto with beta-sitosterol makes them grow more and better hair.
- Colds and coughs.
- Sore throat.
- Asthma.
- Chronic bronchitis.
- Migraine headache.
- Increasing breast size.
- Reducing bleeding after prostate surgery.
- Other conditions.
SAW PALMETTO Side Effects & Safety
Saw palmetto is LIKELY SAFE for most people. Side effects are usually mild. Some people have reported dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea. Some people have reported that saw palmetto causes impotence. But these side effects do not seem to occur any more often with saw palmetto than with a sugar pill.
There is some concern that saw palmetto might cause liver or pancreas problems in some people. There have been two reports of liver damage and one report of pancreas damage in people who took saw palmetto. But there is not enough information to know if saw palmetto was the actual cause of these side effects.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Saw palmetto is LIKELY UNSAFE when used during pregnancy or breast-feeding. It acts like a hormone, and this could be dangerous to the pregnancy. Don't use during pregnancy or breast-feeding.
Surgery: Saw palmetto might slow blood clotting. There is some concern that it might cause extra bleeding during and after surgery. Stop using saw palmetto at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.
SAW PALMETTO Interactions
Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination
- Birth control pills (Contraceptive drugs) interacts with SAW PALMETTO
Some birth control pills contain estrogen. Saw palmetto might decrease the effects of estrogen in the body. Taking saw palmetto along with birth control pills might decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. If you take birth control pills along with saw palmetto, use an additional form of birth control such as a condom.
Some birth control pills include ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel (Triphasil), ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone (Ortho-Novum 1/35, Ortho-Novum 7/7/7), and others.
- Estrogens interacts with SAW PALMETTO
Saw palmetto seems to decrease estrogen levels in the body. Taking saw palmetto along with estrogen pills might decrease the effectiveness of estrogen pills.
Some estrogen pills include conjugated equine estrogens (Premarin), ethinyl estradiol, estradiol, and others.
