Facebook mounts Tupperware-style ads push
Facebook is bracing itself for a user backlash after it launched a bid to turn hype into profit, when it punted a trio of new advertiser features at New York marketeers overnight. The attack marks the first joined-up effort to make the cold, cold heart of web 2.0 start pumping cash. There are three prongs. First, companies can …
"If you visit eBay via its sponsored Beacon application, for example, it would feed details of your activities back to Facebook, which would tell your friends about what you're selling via the newsfeed."
Why would I want to do that? I'm happy to rip joe public off by selling them some peice of tat, but I certainly wouldn't do it to my mates.
I feel sorry for the people that have filled in every detail of the personal info on Facebook, they will probably have a harder time getting away from this flak.
Not a problem
Well this doesn't seem to be a problem for me.
Firstly - branded profiles - makes sense to me and it means businesses can make a profile more in tune for them instead of creating a normal one with their name in (which is really for individuals) or a Facebook group. Posts or additions by people to these "fans" profiles will be the same as it is now i.e. it'll appear on your profile and your friend's feeds so no change there.
Second - flogging access to profile information. Well, sounds a bit dodgy but lets face it, it was always going to happen.
Thirdly - beacon applications - sounds completely opt-in so no new privacy issues or dodginess here.
what about a trusted 'they suck'?
Just as useful to the community, but perhaps not what the advertisers want. Still, the wall postings could be entertaining. Somehow I doubt they'll be uncensored for long.
Goodbye Facebook?
Facebook's all nice and everything - but indispensable, it isn't.
The lack of overt advertising was certainly an attraction and its appearance will be a major cooling factor for many, me included.
Time for Facebook to include a 'Securely wipe personal information' button in the account preferences?
Way out?
Do I need to stop using the bloody thing?
Comment number three on Coke's shiny new page...
"How can I find other product pages? I don't really like Coca Cola, I prefer Pepsi"
Do they have pre-approval on messages or can we get this page taken down in less than a day with some creative wall posting?
Thank you AdBlock
Until Steph's comment I didn't realise FaceBonk had adverts ;-)
They suit each other
Now corp bores like Coke can comminicate with people who like to tell others about there boring lives.. They suit each other.
Looks like a mission for somebodies personal army!
Brilliant .....
...while they are busy with that perhaps they will leave the rest of us alone!!!
Sit back with a bowl of popcorn and enjoy...
"If you visit eBay via its sponsored Beacon application, for example, it would feed details of your activities back to Facebook"
Oh I am so looking forward to the headlines of the gaffs coming out of this one.
If you visit Victoria's Secret via its sponsored Beacon application will it tell facebook and all your friends via the newsfeed that you are wanking?
Will all males under the age of thirtyfive who visit victorias secret corporate profile then be sent targeted advertising for kleenex mansize tissues?
It's already there
Internal (non-banner) advertising has been in Facebook for ages. Two examples are Apple Students and Red Bull U; Apple Students was a bit tiresome with random messages to members' inboxes; sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly. Red Bull U is far more occasional, generally only doing the adverts for their far and wide zany days like the flugtag. Both were clearly associated with the companies, not just mockups by fans.
It's a status thing; like wearing a branded tshirt, though here you're not paying for giving sponsorship. When it gets invasive, it gets tiresome. Regular emails selling the same or near-similar things are a pain; behind-the-scenes ads that make sure that the banner ads that appear while browsing the site are relevant to your interests are good, because it's better than random banner ads that try to sell you things you're not even remotely interested in.
Those who Fear the (info)Reaper will just leave their Interests blank, or whichever other fields the information is harvested from. It's easy to freeload by providing minimal information, or unverifiable information. It's easy to adblock. Changing the mechanism so it's displayed as a userbox-type thing is utterly ignorable, since it'll most likely be swamped under the poo flinging and aquaria and werewolf statistics. News feed settings can be changed to ignore these things.
While I don't agree with some of the changes Facebook make, I'm also not paranoid that they're stealing my information and using it for dastardly purposes, because I just don't provide that information. Perhaps they'll flag me as a poor user in some later silver-gold-platinum-diamond feature doodad, but for now it simply has no effect.
Irony... I started a facebook group to complain!
All you facebookerinos feel free to join my group - and whinge 'til your heart's content:
There's Two Objections to Ads ...
... Principle & Practice.
Those who object on principle will kick up a stink, and if it appears big enough (as if!), then some kind of 'opt out' may appear.
What is more likely is that the 'practice' of heavy-handed ad insertion will do long term damage, loosening loyalty, speeding up the inevitable moment that some new, even kewler [sic] site takes the lead.
Once M$ got their foot in the door, subtlety went out the window; watch NBC's alternative to youtube fail for the same reason; the Suit Corporations are not capable of resisting the 'we want MORE money, and we want it NOW' types in the Ad sales department.
Suit Corporations ALWAYS kill the Golden Goose, and NEVER learn their error.
hmm perhaps big corperates will realsie
that they need to pay people for us to care about them. For small buisness and local shops this will be a boon. Depends on how they do the pricing.
Anyway facebook is on my spam list so I don't care.
Erm I wonder
I use a rather nifty, all powerful util called admucher its on a life time licence cost me a few quid but not many and i honestly cant remember seeing an advert in the last 5 years. They arent a big company so i don't feel bad about mentioning them like say if it was a M$ product (EL REG if this post breaches some advertising thing then just replace the product name with some ******** or something)
I look forward to seeing if Facebook can post adverts admucher cant munch and if they cant be munched i wonder how long it will take for admucher to catch up, few days at most.
Pfffft advertising, if i don't want to see it i dont. As for the profile scanning i think it'll just be a simple matter of not having much of anything in it which people shouldn't already for privacy / identity theft issues. Ill also be looking out for this Beacon thing and opting out and i assume it will be some form of tracking cookie related doodah and cookies aren't hard to remove
No ads = no free stuff.
A few ads is a fair price to pay for things like unlimited free photo storage surely?
I have to say I have never been disturbed by the ocasional ads dropped into my newsfeeds, nor the 'flyers' you get down the side, infact I've just purchased some for my website & was glad of the (rudimentary but useful) ability to target them on age/sex/location. I look forward to the newer metrics coming onstream, if anything these are more useful to a small business person like me than to international brands like coke :-)
Maybe those who object to facebook adverts full stop should have the option of PAYING SOME CASH for an ad free version? Me, I'd rather have companies I hate (like mcdonalds and cocacola) pay for it ;-) These companies, whilst excited by buzzwords like 'viral' really don't understand this stuff yet (as the coke quote above shows) so we get to happily sit here playing pirates and poke'ing our friends while they take years to figure out they're pissing their money down the drain. I ask you who's really losing out here?
As goes the information sharing I really don't care if advertisers know that I regularly cycle & my favourite food is trifle, over a million people in the London network can find this out easily, if I didn't want people to know this I wouldn't put it in my profile would I?

Diego Rivera
Portrait of Ruth Rivera (detail), 1949, oil on canvas, 199 x 100.5 cm, private collection.
Today we celebrate the 125th birth anniversary of legendary Mexican painter Diego Rivera. Have a look at some other Rivera's paintings here.
House over the Bridge, c. 1909, oil on canvas, 147 x 120 cm, Museo Nacional de Arte, Mexico City.
Evening Twilight at Acapulco, 1956, oil on canvas, private collection.
Nude with Calla Lilies, 1944, oil on hardboard, 157 x 124 cm.
Portrait of Guadalupe, oil on canvas.
Rivera was a prominent Mexican painter, an active communist, and husband of Frida Kahlo. His large wall works in fresco helped establish the Mexican Mural Renaissance. Between 1922 and 1953, Rivera painted murals among others in Mexico City, Chapingo, Cuernavaca, San Francisco, Detroit, and New York City.
He married his second wife, Guadalupe Marín, in June 1922, with whom he had two daughters. He was still married when he met the art student Frida Kahlo. They married on August 21, 1929 when he was 42 and she was 22.

Arizona Wildcats
Foles rallies Eagles to end 8-game losing skip
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) � Nick Foles threw a pair of touchdown passes in the final four minutes, including a 1-yarder to Jeremy Maclin with no time remaining Sunday as Philadelphia rallied to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-21 and end an eight-game losing streak � the Eagles' longest in 42 years.
Foles completed 32 of 51 passes for 381 yards in his fourth start in place of the injured Michael Vick. The rookie threw an 11-yard TD pass to Clay Harbor with 3:55 remaining, then led the Eagles on a 64-yard game-winning drive after the Philadelphia defense forced a Tampa Bay punt.
Doug Martin rushed for 128 yards and Josh Freeman shrugged off a slow start to throw for two second-half touchdowns to help Tampa Bay overcome a 10-0 halftime deficit and take a 21-10 lead on Martin's 4-yard TD run midway through the fourth quarter.
That's when Foles, who also scored on a 10-yard run in the first half, took over.

Arte de José Pulido.
I love Day of the Dead, but its kind of irritating to see how it has become a fad… a cliché and a stereotype of "cool", specially here in the US where Día de Muertos has flooded art, tattoos and merchandising. People will dress up like "catrinas", however they wont know anything about the origin of the tradition or what is actually done during the festivities.
Got to admit it, when people take traditions and mix it cleverly with Popular culture I have to say that I absolutely dig it. How can you not like this art done by José Pulido?

Día de Muertos // Day of the Dead
Mexico Celebrates Día de Muertos
To view photos and videos from those celebrations, visit the Patzcuaro, Michoacan, Mexico and Oaxaca, Mexico location pages or browse the #DíadeMuertos hashtag.
Every year from October 31 to November 2, Mexicans celebrate Día de Muertos or the Day of the Dead. Friends and family gather to remember, celebrate and pray for their loved ones who have passed. Celebrants build altars called ofrendas for the deceased using calaveras (sugar skulls), marigolds and the favorite foods, beverages and possessions of the departed. The streets near cemeteries are also filled with parades and decorations.
Though first observed in Mexico, today Día de Muertos is observed around the world, and Instagrammers are there capturing the celebrations.

Robert MacLeod has been made chief executive of London-based LiquidityHub, a venture that aims to electronically pool the fixed income liquidity of 11 investment banks.MacLeod, who was formerly head of fixed income strategic investments at Morgan Stanley, has served on LiquidityHub's executive since June. In his new role, he will be based in London and report directly to the board.
LiquidityHub was formed in July, after banks' negotiations with Bloomberg for a similar idea broke down. The New York-based data provider had intended to spin off its SwapTrader platform and give banks equity in a trading system combining their liquidity.
LiquidityHub said it does not intend to become a trading platform itself, but will distribute its liquidity in interest rate swaps and US government bonds elsewhere. It is currently in "active dialogue" with electronic execution platforms and market data distributors, and anticipates a launch in mid-2007.

Link to tangle pattern Betweed
If you haven't already seen it, the latest Zentangle newsletter is out, with instructions to a beautiful tangle, "Betweed". There's even a link to a video that shows Maria drawing the tangle. This is a not-to-be missed viedeo for zentangle enthusiasts!

Yes, the video is fabulous! It is great to have steps drawn out, but watching Maria create the tangle on stroke at a time is mesmerizing. Her calligraphy is phenomenal too.ReplyDelete
I think the video shows what the benefit of attending classes by a CZT would be.ReplyDelete
You can look at drawn out steps until you are blue in the face, but sometimes you just need to see someone drawing it.
- Gabriel ProductionsSeptember 30, 2010 at 3:29 AM
What a surprise and a great way to start my day! That was thoroughly enjoyable and it was great to see it being drawn "in real life". I am thinking that it might be time to move the dream of attending a CZT from the dream list to the "next year" list which means actually trying to do concrete things to see if I can make it work.ReplyDelete

Utica, N.Y. (WKBW) – A woman in Utica, New York was taken into custody after trying to eat flesh while allegedly high on "Bath Salts."
Police said the woman lunged at an officer and tried to bite him, yelling, "I want to kill someone and eat them."
Stories like these are becoming more and more common. The synthetic drug known as "Bath Salts" is blamed for some strange behavior across the country. The most high profile case is where a homeless man had his face bitten off by another man in Miami.
There are 17 chemicals used to produce "Bath Salts," and experts argue the stimulant in it causes people to lose control and turn violent. New York State has already banned the ingredients that are in "Bath Salts," along with synthetic Marijuana. There is also a federal bill pending in Congress, which would ban "Bath Salts" and its dangerous ingredients.
As for the Utica woman in this most recent case, she was taken into custody and is now undergoing a mental evaluation. Her name has not been released, and she could face criminal charges.

Wrong dosages spark lawsuit
'This is a shocking revelation for cancer patients affected by this error'; Province vows to get some answers
Brian Cross, The Windsor StarPublished: Thursday, April 04, 2013
A class-action lawsuit is being launched against the drug firm that is alleged to have supplied Ontario hospitals with a watered-down cancer drug given to almost 1,100 patients, including 290 at Windsor Regional Hospital, over the last year.
Two firms, Windsor-based Sutts Strosberg and Siskinds, announced Wednesday they'd been retained to launch the class action against Mezentco Inc., a Hamilton company that does business under the name Marchese Health Care.
"This is a shocking revelation for cancer patients affected by this error," lead lawyer Harvey Strosberg said in a news release. Fellow lawyer Sharon Stros-berg said there's no current intention to sue the hospitals involved.
"Our information is they received pre-packaged doses from the company in Hamilton," she said.
Meanwhile, breast cancer patient Tina Wells was anxious to meet with her oncologist today to hear how being treated with watered-down drugs will affect her chances of survival.
"Of course I'm upset, it's unacceptable, but until I talk to him I don't know what to think," the 44-year-old Kingsville woman said Wednesday.
That same day, Wells received a letter and telephone call from Windsor Regional Hospital.
The hospital was scrambling to notify all 290 local patients who received the diluted cyclophosphamide or gemcitabine since February 2012.
They are among 990 in Ontario and almost 200 in New Brunswick - who received the diluted and premixed intravenous chemotherapy cocktail.
"I really don't know what this means in my situation - it's watered down, I didn't get enough of what I should have gotten, so what happens next?" said Wells.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer in November, received a double mastectomy with one-step reconstructive surgery (in Atlanta) in December and started a course of chemotherapy at Windsor Regional in February that continues to June.
"I am feeling ready to see my oncologist and having him tell me what this really means," she said.
It's a question local cancer doctors are providing one-on-one. They're extending their office hours and scheduling weekend appointments. Town hall meetings are being set up for patients.
At Windsor Regional Hospital, staff went without sleep the last 96 hours as they went over records, double and triple-checking the list of patients who were affected, said hospital CEO David Musyj.
"This is all hands on deck. Everybody is stepping forward."
On Wednesday, Marchese issued a statement in which president Marita Zaffiro said her firm "deeply regrets the patient concerns and uncertainty regarding the administration of some of the chemotherapy solutions we supply." But she added she's "confident that we fully met all of the contract requirements including both volume and concentrations for these solutions," and described the problem as a "deeply regrettable miscommunication." She was unavailable for comment.
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne also promised Wednesday her government would get to the bottom of how it happened.
Sharon Strosberg said it's too early to tell how patients will be affected by receiving diluted doses.

Stage-4 Cancer patient loses her coverage AND her doctors because of Obamacare
Reading this story absolutely breaks my heart, both for this woman and the millions of Americans who will soon be in her shoes.
from Wall Street Journal:
Everyone now is clamoring about Affordable Care Act winners and losers. I am one of the losers.
My grievance is not political; all my energies are directed to enjoying life and staying alive, and I have no time for politics. For almost seven years I have fought and survived stage-4 gallbladder cancer, with a five-year survival rate of less than 2% after diagnosis. I am a determined fighter and extremely lucky. But this luck may have just run out: My affordable, lifesaving medical insurance policy has been canceled effective Dec. 31.
My choice is to get coverage through the government health exchange and lose access to my cancer doctors, or pay much more for insurance outside the exchange (the quotes average 40% to 50% more) for the privilege of starting over with an unfamiliar insurance company and impaired benefits.
Countless hours searching for non-exchange plans have uncovered nothing that compares well with my existing coverage. But the greatest source of frustration is Covered California, the state's Affordable Care Act health-insurance exchange and, by some reports, one of the best such exchanges in the country. After four weeks of researching plans on the website, talking directly to government exchange counselors, insurance companies and medical providers, my insurance broker and I are as confused as ever. Time is running out and we still don't have a clue how to best proceed.
Pointing out that Obama lied when he said, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor," isn't just about scoring political points. For some people, it's about life and death.

So far shorting with the above has been pretty flat to down with shorting gold up modestly and shorting metals up 3% and shorting with HDGE down around 2% so like I said pretty flat.
We will continue to hold as well as around 10% cash just in case U308 picks are doing the best right now as with financials.
Our view for now is still bearish and therefore will continue to add cash as some plays get overbought as well as probable get kick out of a few with stop lose.
Could be way wrong but think markets are overbought for now.

Bollywood film fest to be held in Australia
A two-day conference and film festival will be held in the Australian city of Newcastle to celebrate and explore the Mumbai-based Indian film industry.
Organised by the University of Newcastle, the Bollywood 101 Film Festival will be opened by the consul general of India in Sydney, Arun Kumar Goel, on Feb 20.
The fest will include film screenings and presentations from film producers, while the Bollywood and its other conference at the University of Newcastle will take place Feb 21.
The fest will host a variety of speakers, including Indian-Australian filmmaker Anupam Sharma.
Filmmaker Vikrant Kishore and Susan Kerrigan, from the university, are the conference convenors.
"Bollywood has successfully transcended the confines of India, urging scholars to discuss its global histories," Kishore said in a statement.
Australian High Commissioner Patrick Suckling welcomed this initiative, saying that during recent trips to Mumbai and Hyderabad he had been struck by the keen interest of Indian filmmakers in filming in Australia, which is the country partner at the annual Mumbai film conference, FICCI Frames 2014.
"In meetings with senior representatives of the film industry, there was unanimous enthusiasm for doing more with Australia, whether by using Australia's world famous locations or cooperating in post-production, including high-end technology such as animation, sound-effects and computer graphics," said Suckling.

The Gist
Mini Maker Faire will be bigger than ever this year
In 2012, I wrote a cover story on the brand new, eye-popping/exciting event, Mini Maker Faire. During the process, I discovered FamiLab, an incredible hackerspace/community laboratory in Longwood, where I got lost in rows of electrical equipment and machinery in a high-tech fantasyland I never knew was hiding in a nearby warehouse. I met Ian Cole, one of the founders of FamiLab, who was so impressed by the featured Maker Faire he and family/friends/co-FamiLabbers attended in San Francisco, the perpetual tinkerer found a way to hack the system so he and fellow organizers could host a smaller-scale event in Orlando, which would become our city's first Mini Maker Faire. The inaugural event was held in 2012 at the Central Florida Fairgrounds, but in 2013, Mini Maker Faire got moved to the Orlando Science Center, where the tech-minded science experiments and inventive spirit fit like a glove.
And now, there are even bigger things on the horizon for the family-friendly, yes, but never dumbed-down event. This year, it will be a featured Maker Faire, dropping the "mini" from the title and exclusively positioning Orlando alongside major cities like San Francisco, Austin, New York and Detroit, the only cities to host the Make magazine-sponsored event in years past.
This is a big deal for a variety of reasons.
Not only has the event been expanded from one day to two (September 13-14), but they will also be inviting select makers to showcase outdoors in beautiful Loch Haven Park, including the New York-launched Nerdy Derby, "a miniature car-building and racing competition inspired by the Cub Scouts' Pinewood Derby." They estimate this year's event will attract 150 exhibits, and they have already posted a ton of profiles on approved exhibitors on Orlando Maker Faire's site. I'm excited to see Take It Apart – a website that posts photo tutorials on how to disassemble your favorite gadgets – will be hanging out in Orlando to help you tear things apart or recycle your electronics.
What's an even bigger deal, for the most imaginative Orlandoans, is that they're still registering makers, so if you have something cooking in your home laboratory, why not come to the front of the class for show and tell? You have until July 9 to apply here.
Orlando Science Center president and CEO JoAnn Newman sums up why this is so cool in a press release: "This event represents everything [Orlando Science Center] does best, which is engage the community about science in a hands-on, passionate and innovative way."
Get ready for robots, explosions and all the other mechanisms that make science-lovers' hearts tick.

You know things are bad when you can't wait for the return of a TV character to demonstrate what resolve and leadership really look like. Yes, after a four-year hiatus, the show "24," featuring Jack Bauer (played by Kiefer Sutherland), returns May 5 to the Fox network.
Bauer displays many of the traits once found in, or at least expected of, American presidents and top military leaders. He doesn't waffle or wiggle; neither does he negotiate. He wins. If you think I am about to draw a contrast between Bauer and the current president of the United States you are right.
Honestly, unless you are a big government liberal, how many people think the federal government should have more power than it already exercises over its citizens?
One of the reasons our political structure has become dysfunctional no matter which party is in power is that too many of us are living in the moment. The closest we get to history is the instant replay.
The cult centered on "global warming" alarmism is getting hot under the collar. People seem to have stopped paying attention and polls show "climate change" barely registers on a list of voters' concerns.
This can only mean, as losing politicians like to say, that their message isn't getting through. What to do? Why shout louder, of course.
Dictionary.com offers two definitions for scapegoat: "1. A person or group made to bear the blame for others or to suffer in their place; 2. Chiefly biblical. A goat let loose in the wilderness on Yom Kippur after the high priest symbolically laid the sins of the people on its head. Lev. 16:8,10,26."
The Fiscal Times reported last week that the State Department has missing files or incomplete files for more than $6 billion in State Department contracts. Steve Linick, State's inspector general, issued a "management alert" warning that "significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at the department has led to billions of unaccounted for dollars over the last six years."
When people speak of a legacy, they usually mean something other than what the late economist Milton Friedman and his wife, Rose, left behind, namely the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice (edchoice.org).
The foundation has just released a small book entitled "The ABC's of School Choice: The comprehensive guide to every private school choice program in America."
It wasn't so long ago that conservative Christians believed Hollywood to be evil and some preachers instructed their congregations not to go to movies lest they be tempted beyond their ability to resist. Now Christians are debating film content. That's progress of a sort.
"Well, then," Jesus said, "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God." (Mark 12:17 Living Paraphrase)
When considering what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God, what happens when the federal government seeks to replace God by defining "church" and when life begins to have value, the latter having been done in Roe vs. Wade and subsequent court rulings?
While there are other issues in the Hobby Lobby case argued before the Supreme Court on Tuesday, these are the major ones.
My parents taught me never to speak ill of the dead, but in the case of Fred Phelps, who died last week at the age of 84, I think they would have made an exception.

WALSENBURG - Two men who were wanted for breaking into numerous homes in the Colorado Springs area were arrested, along with a third man, by Walsenburg Police early Wednesday.
CSPD says Gino Patrick Rael, 20, and Nathaniel Flavio Gonzales, 20, have been ringing doorbells or knocking on front doors, then breaking into the homes where there is no answer. The burglaries took place in the Falcon and Stetson patrol areas.
A third man, Anthony Baeza, was arrested along with Rael and Gonzales.
CSPD officers have traveled to Walsenburg to continue their investigation.

Unzip To Expand
Unlike our EFX Series bags, which are meant to hold an arsenal of electronics, the Expander is intentionally slim, light and compact. Perfect for a day out and about. Laptop (up to a 15" MacBook), sketchbook, shades, a magazine, headphones. No need to look like a sherpa when you're traveling this light. Expand the bag by pulling the ring, to make room for your hoodie, and those things you might pick up along the way.
Essential Protection
The Expander does not subscribe to bells and whistles. This minimalist pack is classic exercise in "form follows function". The internal laptop sleeve puts protection where it counts. The roomy mesh pocket and key clip keeps small items at your fingertips. The ergonomic form hugs your shoulders while a set of strategically placed body panels allow air to circulate.
Rugged & Refined
The Expander's outer shell is both lightweight and waterproof. The handle is constructed from high grade webbing, stitched for structure and reinforced with steel rivets. The bottom panel is made of Hypalon rubber, the indestructable material used on our flagship guitar cases and DJ bags. Wear it well.
You'll recognize the Jet Black Sharkskin material from our cases (a waterproof & super tough synthetic).

- I'm looking at something sensitive on my screen.
- I shut down my computer.
...some time passes...
- Mallory boots my computer and reads out the buffers from my video
card, thereby obtaining the sensitive information.
By your proposal, we _intentionally_ leave the data on the video card
until Mallory already has access to the machine, trusting that he'll
be stupid enough to load our clear-on-startup video card drivers before
dumping out the framebuffer.
The alternative, to clear-on-shutdown, is obviously better under
normal circumstances, since sensitive data are never left in the
framebuffer. In an exceptional case such as the computer crashing and
failing to clear the framebuffer, it's true that the data remain on the
card. Note, however, that we're in the same situation post-crash that
we'd _always_ be in under your proposed system.
It's obvious that clear-on-startup is strictly worse than clear-on-
shutdown; implementing the latter will prevent a casual observer from
seeing anything sensitive on the screen at startup, but it doesn't
actually grant you any more security, since the data are still
physically on the card. Implementing both gives you a slight edge
against a passive attacker in a small range of exceptional cases, so it
might be the right way to do things.
Has anyone ever noticed this behavior with Windows, say, after a crash?
I'm not saying I have (haven't actually run a Windows machine regularly
in years, so I probably wouldn't remember anyway), I'm just curious.

Portable Sounding-Board: tobyMac's Reconciling Passions
- Tuesday, June 19, 2007
Technically, he might not qualify as a renaissance man since he doesn't seem to be doing much to advance the frontiers of mechanical engineering and mathematical theory, but all the same, tobyMac's a pretty talented, pretty busy, multifaceted guy.
From business to production to artistry to advocacy to philanthropy, he's had a hand in much of the movings and shakings going on in recent years, not just in terms of what we hear on the radio, but in terms of the larger, evangelical church-shaping conversation as well.
And while he's one of the most genial, unassuming and genuinely friendly multi-Platinum artist/moguls you're likely to ever meet, at Toby's core is a bit of a bulldog who's unwilling to compromise the things he believes are of fundamental importance. So whether it's a question of passion vs. commerce, family vs. career or racial reconciliation vs. the status quo, Toby is all about making conscious choices and leaning into the art, the life, the culture, the journey, come what may. He'll push; he'll inspire; and, as his music suggests, he'd also like to celebrate a little along the way if you don't mind, because, after all, isn't history moving toward one really big party?
The recent release of Toby's third—and fastest-selling—solo project, Portable Sounds (ForeFront), finds him once again set loose in a playground of current hip-hop and alt-pop influences. But it also finds him passionately articulating for the umpteenth time, in case some of us don't quite get it yet, some of those same core themes that have long been his mission, including the emphatic "love thy neighbor."
Portable Sounds is, in fact, bookended by cuts that evidence that passion. The opener, "One World" is a straightforward, welcoming invitation to lay down the prejudices that divide us and, in light of the coming great reconciliation we claim to believe God is drawing all of history toward, to begin to live our lives as reconcilers now. The closing cut, "Lose My Soul" simply stands as good evidence of the way that reconciling vision works its way into every aspect of Toby's life and art. The track, which features Kirk Franklin and American Idol luminary Mandisa, is Toby's wrenchingly honest prayer to stay true to the main narrative in his life. The subtext of the track, though, is the two-way-street of Toby and Kirk's friendship and mutual commitment to cooperatively build bridges between "black music and white music." Which, of course, isn't really so much about the music as it is about finding ways to bridge some of the long-standing rifts between white and African-American believers.
Because racial reconciliation and the appreciation of diversity have remained front and center for Toby for more than 15 years, we decided to dig a little deeper into the subject.
"My passion for reconciliation was rooted in how I grew up," he says, though it took him a while to realize not everyone shared his privileged upbringing. Of course, when Toby speaks of a "privileged upbringing" he's not referring to a posh crib and an Ivy League education. He's talking about a richness of diversity in relationship and the things you take for granted at Luther Jackson Intermediate School in the D.C. suburbs.
"It was interesting to be in a bi-racial group," he says, referring to his years in dcTalk, "and to travel the nation opening for early Christian pioneering rock bands and rarely see a black face in the audience for years. . . . I started to understand that not all people had the experiences I grew up with. Not everyone got to see the beauty in their fifth grade class of having three Asian people, two Latinos, three black people and eight white people. Not everyone had that."

8 Gifts Your Creative Child Needs
- Tuesday, February 09, 2010
Evaluate Yourself to Help Your Child Achieve Creative Potential
As you have discovered, your child, who is more creative than most children, is decidedly different. That's how God made him, and God has given you the opportunity to foster that uniqueness. It's a matter of creating an environment where your child's differentness may be molded so that he will maintain an acceptable balance between conformity and nonconformity.
As you decide what is needed to develop your child's creative potential, you should probably begin with a self-examination or self-evaluation. Assessing your attitude toward creativity will enable you to better understand your creative child. This task may be easier if you substitute the word "change" for "creativity":
Do you initiate change, accept it, or avoid it whenever possible?
Your child may adopt your attitude toward creativity, just as he has adopted your attitudes in many other areas of his life.
How different does it need to be before you will consider it creative?
We tend to think in terms of the large and forget the small. The elephant gets attention because it occupies more space, but the mosquito cannot be ignored when it bites your neck. God created them both, and I doubt He would say one is better than the other. Each has a place in God's kingdom. Blessed is the person who finds his place and fulfills his potential.
Sometimes it's the little changes that annoy us. If the water pipe breaks, we know we need a plumber, but how long will we tolerate a dripping faucet?
Creative people like to think big; they are certain they are the next (fill-in-the-blank)! Big is not always better. Recognition, appreciation, and encouragement of small changes may calm the clamor for the impossible.
In what areas are you most comfortable dealing with change, and how much change can you handle?
Society is not looking for creative automobile drivers. Safety means more than creativity in that context. The question confronting parents of a creative child is, "What limits will you set for his creative interests?" Does your comfort zone include chemistry, animal husbandry, or woodworking as well as writing and the fine arts?
Creativity is often viewed in a very limited manner. When asked to name the most creative people of the 20th century, most adults indicate they have never given it a thought. It is easy to take creativity for granted. After the awkward pause, people will name a very short list, beginning with scientists, artists, musicians, and sometimes authors. When you consider the changes of the last 100 years, that group of creative people seems pretty narrow.
What really bugs you about your child's creativity?
Examining your attitudes toward creativity, the size of the project, and your toleration for change may leave you with unanswered questions. Are you concerned about the mess, the unfinished projects, the space demands, or the expense? Answering these will help in setting boundaries for the family.
Individual differences are easily apparent if you have more than one child. If every child is creative, do you have enough energy to go around? Every child has equal value, but different time demands are not uncommon. It is natural to like people who agree with you and like the same things you do, but you dare not favor the compliant child over the creative child or vice versa. Parental creativity and the wisdom of Solomon will be in great demand as you deal with individual differences.
Understanding your creative interests and limitations will enable you to do a better job of creating an environment where your child's creativity can flourish.
Be on the Lookout!
Your creative child may need you in special ways at different times. Be on the lookout for:
- The time to demonstrate a genuine interest in his creative project. When he wants to talk about it, lay your pencil down and listen. Realistically, you may have to schedule a time when you can give him the kind of attention he needs.
- The time when he really wants your opinion. The creative process is rarely instantaneous, in spite of the Eureka moment. Don't be shocked by the many false starts and restarts. Don't judge the results at every stopping point unless he is a dependent learner who needs reassurance that he is making progress.
- The time when he really is open to or needs suggestions for handling his energy level, his resources, and his timetable. As much as he would like to think the world revolves around his creative project, it does not.
- The time when sibling conflicts demand intervention. The creative child has to cope with peers and they with him. It will foster creativity and improve family relations if family members discover how to offer artful criticism instead of faultfinding. A healthy self-concept is important for everyone.
- The moment when peer evaluation would be helpful. Proverbs 27:17 helps with creativity: "As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." It will be refreshing for him to discover that siblings do actually understand what he is trying to do.
- Those rare instances when your creative child asks, "What can I do?" Suggest a realistic and appropriate problem for his energy and talent.
- The times when he needs to grieve over his losses, his failures. Don't ridicule his disappointment or tell him to "grow up." Elijah wasn't the only man in history to have a Juniper tree experience.
- The moment when he is teetering between giving up or fighting on. Be generous with encouragement, but never praise mediocrity or laziness. He knows whether it's good or not and if he has done his best.
- The period of uncertainty about being different. Give him emotional permission to be different and the privilege of trying new things.
Realizing that the ability to create is God's gift, commit to fostering the creative ability of your children. The next task is to create an environment for optimum opportunities.

Tata Motors unveil plans for school bus safety
Indian vehicle manufacturer Tata Motors on Wednesday announced plans on furthering its school bus safety program called 'Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai', as an effort to advance its school bus staff training initiative.
Through 'Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai', Tata Motors will organize workshops to educate drivers and school bus staff on the safety of school bus travel, along with creating awareness on the softer aspects of dealing with parents and children.
After a successful pilot program across 25 schools in Mumbai, Tata Motors will now take the initiative to over 40 cities, including the five metros - New Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Kolkata, the officials informed.
According to the officials, apart from working with enforcement agencies and educational authorities in adhering to school bus guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court of India, Tata Motors have furthered the cause by designing and bringing together all those involved in the travel of school children, through various interactive programs.
'Hammer Bus Ki Baat Hai' is an interactive training session, which has been designed with inputs from various stakeholders, with the objective to sensitize school bus staff on the safety of school bus travel.
Tata Motors noted that since its inception, the program has helped in creating a sense of involvement among participants, increasing awareness about their duties and responsibilities, maintaining personal hygiene, general etiquette and behavior, and also taking necessary measures in case of accidents.
R Ramakrishnan, Senior Vice President, (Commercial), Commercial Vehicles Business Unit, Tata Motors, said, "Each day, at countless bus stops across the country, parents entrust schools with what's most precious to them - their children! Undoubtedly, this is a huge responsibility that places enormous pressure on schools and various people associated with transporting their children to and from school."
Ramakrishnan added, "Through this campaign, Tata Motors is partnering with parents, schools and transport authorities to help manage this responsibility. After having initially conducted about 25 such 'Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai' events in Mumbai, we intend to organise about 300 such events across the country."
Gaurav Podar, Trustee, Podar International School, said, "Safety is of paramount importance to every school and through these initiatives, we are happy to partner with Tata Motors in imparting a very important element of safety for our children, in School Bus travel. Our school participated in the 'Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai' campaign, which has been very well received by our school bus staff. We would like to thank Tata Motors for playing such an active role in our school."
According to the officials, while the 'Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai' addresses drivers and school bus staff, the ongoing 'Dream it to Win it' - a national level essay and painting competition is aimed at children.
The company will initiate another school bus safety program in the next financial year, titled 'Safety Hamaare Bus Mein', a mock drill session on fire and safe school bus travel, for children, the officials informed.
The 'Safety Hamaare Bus Mein' programme is designed to educate school children about effective handling of safety provisions in a bus, a mock fire drill, tips on safe travel, drills on safe entry / exit, emergency evacuation and other softer aspects of dealing with school bus staff.
The training includes a virtual experience film showing safe travel and a safety quiz in school.
This campaign is set to kick-off in the next financial year.

Penetration Testing
mailing list archives
Hey there pen-testers, take this with a grain of salt, it just got me
excited. I am really interested in everyones opinion on the matter or
corporate responsibility and ownership.
In an article posted to slashdot today
(http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/10/112259&from=rss) a man
If I understand correctly the guy informed the customers about
the the security problem? Not the "owner" of the problem?
Although it seems that the company was aware that a problem exists.
But giving this information out to the customers is definitely
not the correct way to handle things.
The company is acting irresponsible as well by not fixing the
problem. Their opinion "he integrity of the system was impaired
because a lot more people (customers) now knew that the system
was insecure" is ridiculous. Once a security problem exists
the integrity is impaired whether few know about it or it is
known all over the world. One person is enough to compromise
a system. Of course, on the risk side you can calculate that
the more people know about the problem, the more likely it
is that someone is exploiting it. But knowing about a problem
betting on that none will notice is careless. Security by
obscurity never works for long.
And: Not the existence of security problems gives a company
a bad reputation. The way they handle their problems does.
Now to the pentesting side:
As a pentester, I will not lay my (virtual) hands on any computer
or application to explore/exploit it without a solid signed contract
permitting me to do so.
If I stumble over an odd behaving application by chance I may report
to the responsible people that something is odd and asked them to
fix it. I will not investigate any further unless a contract comes
up my way.
If I see that a reported problem still exists than this is bitter
... for the people who use that service. So what's about my
responsibility? Am I responsible for the security of the customers
because I know they are using a service that may impact their
security somehow? Although I already notified the owner of the
service that a problem exists? I don't think so. Although I
admit it leaves me feeling uncomfortable.
One thing one can try is to escalate the problem within that
company. But telling to their customers directly? No, that's no
So what's about the last way: going public instead of informing
the victims directly? I think it depends on the problem and how
it is presented. Making people aware of security problems is
necessary. To keep information closed away is segregating the
wrong people. It's difficult to find the right way.

Stephen J. Lee calls himself "The Herb Meister."
He had come from his home in Louisville, Ky., to Honey Rock Herb Farm in Louisville, Tenn., to conduct one of his cooking classes for owners D. and Jim Brown in a barn-turned-classroom.
Lee has a degree in culinary arts from the University of Kentucky and studied under a former student of French chef Auguste Escoffier. He formerly operated the Cookbook Cottage, a bookstore and cooking school in Louisville. He is president of the Southeastern chapter of the International Herb Association.
Here he offers two recipes using basil.
Caramelized Onion and Fresh Basil Spread
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, yellow Spanish, diced small
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
one 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
3 Tbsp. basil leaves, fresh, shredded fine
dash hot pepper sauce
Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When hot, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is transparent and just beginning to brown. Add the balsamic vinegar; stir well and continue to cook until most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to cool and "age."
Place cooked onion, cream cheese and basil in a bowl and combine well. Season with hot pepper sauce. Serve with plain crackers or toasted bread slices.
About 8 servings.
Pasta Salad With Basil
D. Brown shares this recipe for a summer salad using fresh basil. Basil plants need to be pinched back, she stresses, so use the basil in salads, pesto and with tomatoes.
8-ounce package of pasta
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
juice of 1 lemon
6 scallions, sliced
1/4 cup basil leaves, torn into small pieces
1/8 cup parsley, chopped fine
one 7-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and sliced
salt, pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
basil leaves, for garnish
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and put in a bowl. Stir in next eight ingredients gently. Top with walnuts. Cool to room temperature. Garnish with additional basil leaves, if desired, and serve.

Easy Ways to Save Money as a Wedding Guest
My husband and I have eight weddings to attend throughout this summer and fall. That's eight shower gifts, eight wedding gifts and almost as many hotel and car rental bookings.
Oh — and I'm in three of them. That's three bridesmaid dresses and three bachelorette parties to attend and help plan.
Please don't get me wrong — I love and cherish each one of these friends, and I'm honored to be a part of the wedding for those friends who have asked me. The thing is … weddings can really add up, even when you're just a guest (and especially if you're a bridesmaid!). In an effort to not blow my entire savings account on weddings this year, I thought I'd do a little research to figure out how I can be as prepared as possible for the costs, as well as potentially cut back on the spending and still be as giving to each of these couples as I'd like to be.
1. Plan Ahead
It might seem cheesy to input your friends' wedding information into an Excel spreadsheet (how boring!), but trust me, planning this way will really help you out in the long run. Once I received save the dates for the weddings we're invited to this year — and once I was asked to be in the wedding party for a handful of them, as well — I immediately started an Excel doc creatively named '2014 Weddings'. On it I included the following items: The Couple, bachelorette/bachelor party amounts (estimates are fine in the beginning), shower gift amount, hotel amount, wedding gift amount, dress amount, transportation amount and then a column for whether or not these items have already been paid for.
You won't know all of these amounts up front, but as soon as you do you can fill in the appropriate columns and get a good idea for how much you'll be spending throughout the wedding season. I filled in all the columns with my best guesses and then divided that number by how many months I have to save up for them. That gave me a good estimate for how much I'll be spending each month on these weddings so I don't feel blindsided when the time comes to fork over that extra $350 for a weekend stay for a bachelorette party in Montauk.
2. Don't Be Afraid to Rent
With so many weddings on the horizon, I've pretty much given up the idea of wearing a new dress to each one. Lucky for me, sites like Rent the Runway allow me to borrow awesome designer dresses at great discounts so I can still look stylish, even when wearing the same cocktail dress three different times. (Also consider raiding friends' closets!) It's always possible to style up the same dress for different occasions with different accessories and shoes.
If you're in a wedding and you've been given a color to run with in any style you like, consider taking into account the other events you have going on this year. For example, my sister is in a wedding in October where the bride has asked her bridal party to pick out a dress (pending approval by her, of course) of a similar color theme. With her husband's holiday party and another wedding she'll be attending a month later in mind, my sister picked out a dress that she can easily get at least three wears out of for the rest of the year.
3. Offer Up Your Services
Are you secretly an awesome calligrapher? Does the bride love your baking skills, or has the groom always marveled at your photographic genius? Remember the fact that your friends are probably trying to cut back on some wedding costs as well, and consider offering up your amazing wedding-related skills as your gift to your friends. That's really a win-win situation for everyone involved.
4. Split the Costs
Don't be afraid to ask the bride or groom for friends of theirs who might be looking to save a little cash by carpooling or sharing a hotel room, as well. A couple years ago I considered completely bailing on my cousin's wedding when I couldn't find a car to rent for less than $400 to get me there. Instead, I asked her if she happened to have any friends in the area who might not mind carpooling and splitting the cost of gas. Not only did I save a little money by doing this, I had some super fun entertainment on the ride up and back, as well.
5. Be Registry Smart
If you know you'd like to get your friend something off her registry for her shower, be sure to purchase your item as soon as possible so you don't get stuck with the most expensive thing on there.
6. Break the Mold
When it comes to booking a hotel for that special weekend, if you're not in the bridal party you might want to consider booking a room at a different hotel than those your friends recommend. Most couples these days get group discounts on blocks of rooms at the hotel where their ceremonies are being performed or at other places in the area, but it doesn't hurt to check out deals on other, perhaps cheaper, hotels in the vicinity. As long as you don't mind driving a bit after the party, you could save quite a bit by shopping around. (You might even consider renting a house from a site like Airbnb or VRBO if you can find some people to go in on the cost with you.)
7. Just Say No
While you certainly wouldn't want to skip out on your best friend's wedding, or the wedding of the cousin you grew up with, the truth of the matter is you probably will occasionally be invited to weddings of people you just aren't that close with. In the case of a distant relative or an elementary school acquaintance you haven't seen in years, it really is okay to respond no to a wedding invite, especially if it's an especially hectic wedding season for you. Wedding etiquette would suggest sending a wedding gift to any wedding you're invited to — whether you attend or not — but at least you'll potentially be cutting way down on travel and wedding prep costs.

At Cascade Veterinary Clinic, we know how important it is to make the right diagnosis of your pet's illness or injury. Modern veterinary imaging helps us to see inside your pet to determine exactly the position and type of injury or abnormality. Cascade Veterinary Clinic uses state of the art equipment right here in our hospital as part of the diagnostic process.
Radiographs, or x-rays, are used to evaluate and diagnose problems affecting a variety of the organ systems in your pet's body. These include the abdomen, bones and orthopedic problems, heart, lungs, and spine. We use radiographs to help diagnose many conditions including fractured bones, pneumonia, cancerous tumors inside the body, enlarged heart, arthritis, and stones within the urinary tract. With our digital radiography equipment, we are able to immediately send radiographs to specialists like the WSU Veterinary Clinic for evaluation if needed.
Ultrasound is an advanced, state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging technique that is painless and non-invasive. Using sound waves, a computer image is generated that helps us to evaluate the internal structure of organs and abnormal lesions.
In the abdominal cavity, ultrasound is particularly valuable for imaging the liver, spleen, gall bladder, kidneys, lymph nodes, adrenal glands, and urinary bladder. It is very useful for pregnancy evaluations. We use ultrasound to guide us in diagnostic procedures such as urine collection and the biopsy of internal organs and tumors.
Ultrasound often allows us to detect the spread of cancer, avoiding unnecessary surgery.
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that is used to evaluate the interior of certain organs and passages in the body. Most commonly used to evaluate stomach, small intestine, and colon. It is also used in the nose, throat, and trachea.
Both a diagnostic and a therapeutic tool, endoscopy involves inserting an endoscope, which is a long, thin tube with a tiny camera at the end, allowing direct visualization of the area of concern. Once there, depending on the needs of the individual patient, biopsies can be taken, small polyps or tumors can be removed, or foreign objects that some pets swallow may be removed.
The greatest benefit to your pet is that many procedures that used to require major surgery can now be accomplished entirely with endoscopy. Anesthesia is still necessary with this procedure, but it is shorter, causes less stress on the body, and is less painful than surgery.

That confirmation email (not a beta invite) should arrive within 48 hours from when you submitted your beta application. If you have not gotten your confirmation email, we encourage you to please check your spam folder and contact us via our support page if it's not there.»help.elderscrollsonline.com/We are not sending out invitations to the ESO beta test quite yet. When we do start sending out the first wave of invites, we'll make an announcement on our website, here on Facebook, and our other ESO social media pages so that everyone knows to keep an eye on their email.Thank you all for the overwhelming support and interest in The Elder Scrolls Online beta test!--Aelingil: I need to waste my time, my clients time and another techs time, just to fix a problem with you server & filters?Tech Joseph: Yes, you are correct.
My reply email did get sent to the spam box.
