Google a "Happy Loser" In Spectrum Auction
kdawson posted more than 6 years ago | from the status-quo-pretty-much-ante dept.162
Large cell service providers won almost all of the licenses in the recently concluded FCC spectrum auction. Google didn't get any and won't be entering the wireless business. Verizon Wireless was the big winner, laying out $9.4 billion for enough regional licenses in the "C" block to stitch together nationwide coverage, except for Alaska. On this spectrum Verizon will have to allow subscribers to use any compatible wireless device and run any software application they want. AT&T paid $6.6 billion, Qualcomm picked up a few licenses, and Paul Allen's Vulcan Spectrum LLC won a pair of licenses in the "A" block. One analyst called Google a "happy loser" because it got the openness it had pushed for. The AP's coverage does some more of the numbers.

Scientists from NASA provide an update on the Mars Curiosity Rover, which landed on Mars 16 days ago.
Since landing, the rover has uploaded and installed new software, sent back high-resolution images, and started to perform tests of its mission tools, including a laser system that allows the rover to analyze the chemical makeup of rocks.
The system, nicknamed ChemCam, shoots a laser at a rock on Mars, turning it into a plasma which the camera on the rover can analyze to find out the elements and their concentration in the rock. The rock that the rover first performed this test on is known as Coronation, and was chosen both for its proximity to the landing zone and its size and suitability for the test.

My brand new LODGE cast iron pan
Hi All. I just got a pre seasoned Lodge 12 inch skillet yesterday (mostly because of all the raves of cast iron from all of you). Whats a great FIRST DISH to make using it that will start me down the road of loving this pan??
Seriously, though. I know it's pre-seasoned, but frying up a bunch of bacon just seasons it that much more. And plus, well... it's bacon. What other excuse do you need? :)
A couple of good steaks would be next on my list. Steaks brought to room temp and seasoned with kosher salt and cracked pepper. Hot, hot pan, drop in the steaks (turn your fan on!) and give them about 4 minutes a side. That will give you about medium rare, depending on the thickness of your steak. If you want it cooked more, transfer the pan to a 475 - 500 degree oven for another 5 minutes. Let the steaks rest for another 5 minutes before cutting into them. You should get a gorgeous seared crust. Yum!
re: TorontoJo
This is the best ever way to prepare steak. I have taken over steak duty from my husband and his grill because they are so much better this way. Make sure you preheat the pan for a ridiculous amount of time, I usually do 5-8 minutes on high.
re: Mandymac
Hi Mandymac, I tried looking for the skillet cornbread recipe on the internet and cant find it. Can you share it with me please? Also do you think it is OK to try the cornbread first or should I use the skillet for a while and fry some bacon for a couple of weeks before I attempt cornbread?
re: buzz t
Cornbread will season the skillet better, more evenly, and quicker than anything else.
re: GrillMaster
OK! So can anyone reccomend a corbread recipe. I ajve never made it (either in CI or otherwise). Thanks in advance
re: buzz t
I'd try one on the back of a bag of cornmeal. That's where mine comes from. I'll try to remember to dig it out tonight and post it just in case.
re: buzz t
have you used this yet? Honestly, I didn't look for anything special to cook in my cast irons pieces, just started using the heck out of them instead of the non stick stuff. You will see how fast they season.
re: chef chicklet
I did. I wound up making pork chops (by default only bc it was what I ahd in the house). I dont think i heated up the pan enough because it definitely didnt get the sear on the outside I was looking for. I also have been putting a very thin layer of bacon fat on it and leaving it in the oven so I dont know if that is what is making it look like it is "dirty". I heard bacon fat was good for it but the pan does smell like bacon all the time/
re: buzz t
If you put the bacon fat on the pan, you did heat the oven up?
Salt the heck out of it with the fat, put it in the oven and turn the heat up high. Let it bake for about 30 minutes. Don't just rub the grease on it and not heat it. You have to heat the pan to season it properly.
And no, it does not or should not "smell" like bacon fat all the time, only after cooking bacon!
Ok, don't be afraid of the high heat with this cast iron pan. Kick the heat up, put some oil in the pan. Do a water dance test - the drops dance, then put your chops down and leave them for a few minutes. When they are ready to be moved they will lift easily, too soon they will tear or be weird colored and not cooked. These pans NEED high heat to sear.
re: chef chicklet
I do heat it up after a rub a thin layer of bacon fat on t. I alsousually leave it in the oven so it gets heated up whenever i use the oven (even when there is no food in the skillet). I heard/read that was OK to do..?? Also thank you for the advice of the high heat. I suspect I am not letting it heat up high enough. I am thinking i should leave it on a high flame when I am about to sear a chop for about 3 minutes before even thinking about putting food on it. Thanks again
re: buzz t
I have no way of telling what your stove is like, I just heat mine so that if I drop water into the pan, it dances. That is hot enough to sear any meat.
Adequate amounts of oil/fat to sear the meats is also necessary. Good luck, these pans are fool proof, so you will enjoy them many many years.
As far as the pan in the oven, to season this pan you need to heat, rub fat and salt it seveal times over, heat the oven to 350 rub it with fat, salt, and let it heat up x 6. You will soon notice a wonderful black patina developing, which means, your pan is seasoned. What does that mean? Nothing more than you have created a thin layer between the food and the cast iron that is raw. Don't wash it too often and me I don't cook fish in mine. I need a deeper skillet if I were to do that. These pans hold onto flavorings as you found out, so if it were ME I'd cook all but fish in there.
Oh my! I bought one about a month ago. It besides my cast iron griddle/grill is my favorite new cooking tool. I seriously want to toss my non-stick stuff!
But I made chicken cacciatore, I was going to switch pans and transfer the chicken to a baking dish when I was done browning it. I made the whole meal in it! It was one of my best, covered the top to hold the splatter and let it go. Was just great!
re: Uncle Bob
Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. Frying seems great perhaps some bacon WITH some STEAK! And I have been thinking of trying the ZUNI Chicken recipe (again b/c of the raves from all of you on this site) so that might be my second meal.
Also I was wondering what utensils should i use on it? I have only been using my rubber spatulae and spoons since i have been using non stick but now should i get some metal spatulas and wooden sppons? What is the preferable tool(s) for cast iron? Thanks again everyone
re: buzz t
Hey Buzz t,
Congrats!! Cast iron is a dream come true. Along with a good metal slotted spatula, you'll want a whisk, a good pair of metal tongs, and a wooden spoon. With the spoon, try to find one that isn't perfectly rounded at the bottom, but one where one side of the bottom is rounded, and the other side is kind of squared off. This makes getting all the drippings and other flavorful goodness around the bottom edge of the pan sooo much easier.
And, probably the most important tool will be a heavy-duty oven mitt and/or pot holder(s). The handles are extremely efficient conductors of heat!
re: buzz t
I have a silicon sleeve that I leave on my skillet all the time when it isn't in the oven. Otherwise I would probably forget and grab the handle ( I have the scars to prove it).
My favorite tool to use with my skillet is a bamboo stirrer with the point on one side.
Oh yeah, recipes! Make an upside down cake!
re: buzz t
Well seasoned cast iron is very durable and forgiving. Use any utensil you want. Metal, wood, rubber/plastic etc is fine. Try to find a good roux spoon (wooden)..You'll need one pretty soon..
Have Fun!
re: Uncle Bob
Don't you think it might melt a rubber/plastic utensil? I stick to wood and metal for this reason.
re: yamalam
But of course! But ya ain't gonna leave it laying in the skillet while you answer the telephone are ya? The comment was to say it want hurt the cast iron skillet..Which was the question.
re: Uncle Bob
Yes I was always worried obviously using metal on non stick so I pretty much only have plastic right now. But since I have the cast iron now, if for some reason i couldnt use plastic in it. Thanks again for clarifying
This is slightly off-topic, but I also have the Lodge dutch oven, which is great. And an added bonus is that its lid fits the 12" pan perfectly which is nice when you want to bake or shallow braise in your skillet. Have fun with it! If you make cornbread be sure to heat the pan first and swirl it with a bunch of butter before adding the batter. I love to do seared steak finished in the oven in mine, then deglaze to make a pan sauce with wine or balsamic vinegar (once its seasoned enough). If you start out building up the seasoning with some fried/fatty foods soon you'll be able to make really flavorful acidic dishes like tomato sauce in it with no problems.
re: Procrastibaker
Got any ideas how much that dutch oven weighs? I'm struggling with the frying pan, but want one (dutch oven) anyway because I am so loving the results.
re: chef chicklet
I just bought the dutch oven and had it shipped (I wasn't going to carry it home from the store!) and I believe the UPS label said the package weighed about 15 lbs. it's a beautiful thing, though. I have to admit, I haven't made much in it yet, but I'm looking forward to all sorts of stuff.
re: Sophia.
Wow, I thought the griddle was heavy, oh well! They cook like a dream!
It takes NO time at all to season these if you do it right.
I'm impressed! Can't wait to try the pineapple upsidedown cake.
re: chef chicklet
The dutch oven is heavy. I am not a 98-pound weakling but when mine is full of food I can barely lift if out of the oven. But it's a great item. I do re-season it after I use it for braising. The most recent thing I made in it was Hoppin' John from the yellow Gourmet cookbook. Yum!
Bacon, cornbread or some kind of steak (maybe skirt steak) all are good ways to start. They are wonderful for roasting chickens. I bought a 15 inch one specifically to roast chicken with vegetables. I love both my pans and use them constantly.
I've yet to ever put soap in mine. When I am done, I sprinkle coarse sea salt into the pan and scrub it out with the sea salt with a paper towel. Then use some water to remove anything that is left (my grandmother would never even use water on hers). It will just get better and better as you use it over and over.
re: buzz t
It's not really necessary if you do some frying the first few times. However, it want hurt a thing if you wanna.
re: buzz t
I clean my frying pan and dutch oven by boiling water in them for a few minutes, rinsing and drying them on a hot stove. When the water has evaporated I add a little veg oil and wipe it in with a paper towel and let cool.
I think this helps keep the seasoning in them.
re: DesertGal
Thanks all. Some much helpful info. I am so excited. The silcone handle sleeve is a great idea. I am sure considering this is my first CI skillet I will forget and grab a HOT handle.
re: buzz t
I bought a Lodge skillet two weeks ago and followed the advice given (and on the Cookware board). I fried up some bacon, drained out the fat then made steaks in the. The steaks were delicious thanks to the smokey, bacon flavour!
A note about the silicone sleeve: Don't leave it on the pan while cooking. I bought a Le Creuset sleeve and found that it also heats up if left on a hot handle.
re: buzz t
Cooking cornbread in a cast iron skillet is the absolute best way to season it. I try to cook a pone of cornbread in mine every 6 months or so just to keep it in good shape.
You just got yourself as great heirloom. My primary skillet belonged to my great grandmother -- and I'm sure it will be good more generations down the road. Lodge also makes a castiron pizza pan that works just about as well as a baking stone and it's unbreakable. FYI, Lodge is still family owned and in South Pittsburgh, TN -- they now make an enameled ware that may rival Le Creuset.
Favorite dishes -- sure, bacon, but also cornbread, fried chicken, pork chops, and anything requiring a saute or braise.
re: TNExplorer
C/I Pizza pan has my interest.Do you heat the pan first like a stone or do you put the pizza on the pan cold?
re: bobfxd
Heat it in the oven just like a stone -- have it in there from the time you turn the oven on. You get the same nice crust as a stone. It comes pre-seasoned. The only thing that seems to be different is that a stone supposedly absorbs moisture if you're doing any of the no knead/5 minute artisan breads, but I've gotten good results using either the cast iron or the stone.
re: TNExplorer
Lodge web site has them on sale.I'm going to buy 1 right now.Thanks
re: marcharry
some of the best restaurant kitchens only use cast iron (or at least mostly cast iron). I'm a believer - I have two of them (one smaller, one bigger). I officially hate cheap non-stick pans for general cooking use. They're only good for eggs and the like.
re: marcharry
I never used to use soap and water on mine- I've had it 10+ years, and it has always served us well.
But over Christmas I had the opportunity to use my mother-in-laws cast iron skillet that she got from her mother- that thing must be over 100 years old! She has used it to fry fish almost once a week for 50 years, along with making cornbread and lots of other stuff. That pan had the best finish I have ever seen- it was actually slick- no more rough places or anything!
She *always* washes it in soap and water, so now I am no longer afraid to do the same...
re: Clarkafella
I have several hundred lbs of cast iron. Not a thing in the world wrong with soap and water clean up. An occasional scrubby either. I do not and would not fill a piece full of soapy water and let it soak in the sink however. Clark is correct,,,over time it will slick out. Cast Iron...the original non-stick pan.
re: Uncle Bob
I cant wait for it to be my go to pan like all of you have!!
My older sister has always had an iron deficiency but could never take vitamins because they made her sick. When she was pregnant with her 1st child this was a big problem. When she had her second for some reason her iron levels were fine. When she started trying to figure out why she did some research and learned that it was likely because she had started using a cast iron skillet and a dutch oven to cook most of their food in.
So not only do they make good food but it is also good for you.
Preheat 450 oven. Salt pepper olive oil a filet minion or 2. Heat pan on top of stove med-high heat for about 5 min. Drop filet's in pan dont move and sear on stovetop for 2-3 min.
Don't flip steaks and finish in over for about 8 min depending on size.

Wet Whiskered Wonder: A New Addition To A Red Listed Rarity…
Curraghs Wildlife Park on the Isle of Man is currently celebrating the arrival of this new Fishing Cat kitten. With wild population numbers of this species ambiguous and just over 200 captive animals existing, this miniature moggy marvel is a welcomed addition to the breed. This kitten is one of only ten born in captivity this year so far, with Newquay Zoo in Cornwall and Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington among the other zoos proud to receive new additions this year also.
Fishing cats (Prionailurus viverrinus) have been classified as endangered by the IUCN as of 2008 owing to destruction and conversion of their wetland habitats and over-exploitation of fish food stocks in their native south and southeast Asia. As their name implies, fish is their primary prey and comprises up to three-quarters of their diet. Needless to say, they are very much at ease in water and even possess webbed paws which assist them in their abilities to swim vast distances, even underwater.

You don't need a Green Thumb with Sally's Plant Food. Read the testimonials, watch the videos, or just try a bag. Once you do, nothing else will compare.
I use the plant food and love it. It worked better than I could have imagined. I tested it in my garden by applying to some plants and not applying to others and the plants that I used the plant food on grew 40-50% better than the un fertilized plants and produced much more fruit. I used it on a small orange tree that I had had for 7 or 8 years and had produced about 8 oranges last year. I applied the fertilizer and the growth this year was 2-3 feet and it produced over 100 fruits. The stuff is amazing.
Hi, my name is Dan and I am from the Myrtle Beach area. I have been using Sally's Plant Food for about three years and it is a amazing product. First if it is vegetables, the acceleration process is unbelievable and the taste is like old times. Not what we have now with all the chemicals and enhancements that are used today. Truly delicious. Flowers and trees have blooms and color that are really dense. Multiple blooms on one stem as you will see in these pictures. Thanks " Seeing is Believing "
The YouTube video below shows a garden that has been growing for just 60 days and the vegetables being fed with Sally's Plant Food are growing like wild weeds!
O my goodness, Paul!!! This is a fantastic product recommended by my yard guy. As a matter of fact, I'm just getting ready to order a supply for spring ~ with my friend, who tried it after all my praise. I understand it is also recommended by Clemson University, which is high, high praise, but even if that's a myth, I say you'll have many repeat buyers. Example: We transplanted a 10-yr-old sasanqua in June here in SC, losing much of the root ball in the process. I poured about a gallons' worth of Sally's on it, and within 7-10 days had new growth EVERYWHERE. Did another gallon about six weeks later and never lost a leaf to shock. This fall it was covered in blossoms.
I don't know who these people are who make Sally's, but I'd drive to Wherever to get it for my garden. Great on everything! Good luck on yr involvement :>)

text: GamesBeat What Oculus Rift and virtual reality mean for sex, death, violence, and identity June 5, 2014 1:00 PM Jeffrey Grubb 17 Facebook and the future It's tough to predict how VR will actually play out. The graveyard for companies that previously attempted VR thought they were on the cusp of a breakthrough with some sort of immersive headset doesn't have many vacancies left. That's why it's easy to imagine any number of sci-fi-inspired eventualities when it comes to Oculus Rift, but the actual reality may turn out pretty tame compared to Demolition Man. At the same time, Facebook just bought Oculus VR for $2 billion in March, and it's likely that founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to see this through. That's good news for Luckey, but it may mean that we'll need to come up with solutions for the problems VR will pose us as a species. "When it comes to virtual entertainment and game developers — and they're creating online gambling that feels like Vegas, social networking that feels like the best party you were ever at, and pornography that is indistinguishable from sex — how is that going to affect the human condition and the human experience," asked Bailenson. "Well, I don't have an answer to that. I know we have to think about it and be very careful about how we regulate it along the way." The Stanford professor does have some hope that Zuckerberg will focus Oculus on the positive implications of VR. "Zuckerberg was the leading philanthropist last year," said Bailenson. "It's my hope that this question of what Facebook is going to do with VR is more about how we can use VR to leverage education to make it better — to reduce poverty, to help the environment. A lot of us fly and drive for work, but if I could make meetings compelling in a simulation then we can already start saving fossil fuels." With Facebook's ownership, Oculus has now said it will have the capability to sell the Rift at a very low price point. The social network can afford to lose money on each unit — that's especially true since it will likely use the platform to serve ads to players, just like it does on Facebook proper. Above: Jimmy Fallon trying a prototype of the Oculus Rift.Image Credit: NBC As for Luckey, he's focused on shipping a final product. You can suggest any number of potential uses for his invention, but it doesn't really faze him. "It's easy to come up with contrived scenarios where the Rift badly impacts certain people in negative ways, but that's true of anything — even the most innocent of things," he said. "Everything in moderation, and like I said, the good is going to outweigh the bad." Goetgeluk feels the same way. "Virtual reality could be an outlet for thoughts you have or frustrations you might experience," he said. "That might be used as a way to escape reality and be in a different place. It could be very therapeutic." Bailenson thinks that people shouldn't expect virtual reality to act as a catharsis. Instead, he would urge developers to think about how they can use the tech for good. "I believe virtual experiences change people the same way any experiences change someone," he said. "You learn from experience, and if we have the choice, then we should try to build content that inspires people to be helpful and conscientious. To be good people." As for the future of Oculus VR, Luckey isn't going to stop once the company releases the consumer version. That's not even close. He says that he wants to "solve for everything" when it comes to VR. Yes, that means a head-mounted display, but it also means feedback that feels real when you touch it as well smell. GamesBeat asked if that meant Oculus VR would eventually start trapping photons in a force field like the holodeck from Star Trek: The Next Generation, and he had a very definitive answer for that. "Photons are a dead-end," said Luckey. But the company is just looking into anything that will make virtual reality better. For now, that primarily means the Rift helmet. In five years, that may take the form of a brain implant that makes you fee like you're smelling fresh pie and flowers inside a simulation. Finally, we asked Luckey to look into the future and tell us "In 20 years — I hope it doesn't take that long — I hope we have virtual reality that is indistinguishable from real life — at least on the visual side," said Luckey.

The A/V Balun Goes to Europe
MuxLab Inc., manufacturer of audio-video connectivity solutions for copper twisted pair, announces the SCART/PA©ritel Balun (500060, 500061), an audio-video balun for European equipment.

Ohio State Senator Eric Kearney: Passing the American Jobs Act is the Right Thing To Do
The President is traveling across the country to show how the American Jobs Act will help modernize our schools, rebuild our infrastructure, and put Americans back to work. The President recently visited Cincinnati, Ohio and urged Congress to pass the American Jobs Act.
Ohio State Senator Eric Kearney reflects on the President's remarks in Cincinnati, and explains how the American Jobs Act will help modernize our nation's infrastructure and create jobs for Americans:
Last week I joined President Obama as he traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio to urge support for the American Jobs Act. As the State Senator for the 9th District, I am pleased that President Obama came to my hometown to call for an end to the partisan gridlock in Washington and bring our attention back to our top priority—putting Americans back to work.
President Obama spoke at the Hilltop Construction site just below the Brent Spence Bridge, which is one of the most frequently traveled trucking routes in America. Thousands of local residents use the bridge between Ohio and Kentucky every day commuting to work, school or traveling on vacation. However, it is in need of several significant repairs to remain reliable and safe. It is important that we have sound transportation structures to ensure that Cincinnati remains a great place to live and do business.
The passage of the American Jobs Act is the primary step in guaranteeing economic growth and job opportunities for Cincinnatians. With a current unemployment rate of 8.7%, our local community cannot wait for the jobs to come. We must work cooperatively to create them.
The $50 billion dollar investment in construction projects as proposed by President Obama will lead to these jobs for skilled workers in Ohio and across America. I encourage representatives from both states affected by the conditions of the Brent Spence Bridge as well as leaders in Washington DC to put aside their differences and take the steps necessary to modernize our nation's infrastructure and create jobs for Americans. It is the right thing to do for the people of this country and our economy.

The winner of the 2013 BMW Masters is Spain's Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño. The man from Madrid carded a final round of 68 (-4) to triumph at the inaugural event on the European Tour's new Final Series. The 33-year-old ended the prestigious tournament with a score of -11 (277 shots) – one ahead of his closest rivals Francesco Molinari (ITA, -10) and Thongchai Jaidee (THA, -10) who finished tied in the runner-up spot.
Fernández-Castaño, who leaves Shanghai with the BMW Masters trophy and a cheque for 1,166,000 US dollars, started the final day one shot behind American Luke Guthrie (-9). The rising star from Illinois had led the world-class field at the BMW Masters right from his opening round of 65 (-7), but could do no better than a 71 on Sunday as he missed out on his maiden win on the European Tour, eventually finishing a creditable fourth.
Behind Fernández-Castaño, a whole host of players were producing eye-catching rounds in perfect conditions – none more so than last year's winner Peter Hanson (-7). The Swede fired eleven birdies en route to a sensational round of 63 (-9) – his lowest ever on the European Tour – and climbed to eighth place. Hanson was left to rue his poor opening round, however, and could do nothing to stop his title going to "Gonzo". His Spanish successor showed nerves of steel on Sunday, carding six birdies and just one double-bogey on the 18th. By the time he reached the final green, however, Fernández-Castaño had already opened up a three-shot lead and calmly sank a one-metre putt for the biggest win of his career so far.
The victory was Fernández-Castaño's seventh on the European Tour and his third at a BMW tournament. His triumph at the 2006 BMW Asian Open also came in Shanghai, while the Spaniard's most recent win was at the 2012 BMW Italian Open. He now joins compatriot Miguel Angel Jiménez as one of just two players to have tasted success at three BMW events.
Drum roll for the European Tour's new "Final Series": Last year's Race to Dubai winner Rory McIlroy, the current leader of the European Tour's money list Henrik Stenson, defending BMW Masters champion Peter Hanson and crowd favourite Wu Ashun represented the 78-strong, world-class field at the opening press conference. After a performance of traditional Chinese drumming, during which the four pros also tried their hand with drumsticks rather than golf clubs, the players were each presented with a Chinese fortune cookie, inside which were promising prophecies ahead of the battle for one of the most coveted titles on the European Tour.
The first title was decided directly after the opening press conference – at the "Star Players Challenge" in the modern district of Pudong. Stenson, Hanson and Ashun headed to the "Bund" – the promenade along the bank of the Huangpu River – where they played out an exciting "Nearest-the-Pin" competition against the impressive Shanghai skyline. The stars' task was made all the more tricky by a "visual obstacle", over which they had to play: the new BMW i8. The plug-in hybrid is the sports car of the future and caught the eye of the Chinese spectators, almost stealing the show from the four star golfers. Hanson was the least distracted during the "Star Player Challenge", landing his ball closest to the hole.
On Tuesday evening, McIlroy and Chinese Olympian Xu Lijia opened the event at the Lake Malaren Golf Club. 2012 runner-up McIlroy hit the symbolic opening shot of the tournament week to trigger a spectacular laser show, which thrilled defending champion Hanson and guests in the Fairway Club.
The BMW Masters trophy enjoyed an appropriately grand entrance: Xu Lijia boarded her Laser yacht to transport the coveted trophy over the lake to the 18th green. The BMW Brand Ambassador won gold in the Laser Radial class at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, and has since become one of the biggest sports stars in China.
The 2014 BMW Masters will take place from 30th October to 2nd November and will once again form part of the European Tour "Final Series", four tournaments ending with the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. The four tournaments are the US$7 million BMW Masters, the US$8.5 million WGC-HSBC Champions, the US$7 million Turkish Open and the US$8 million DP World Tour Championship, Dubai – making the total prize fund for "The Final Series" a staggering US$30.5 million.
Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Sales and Marketing, says: "The BMW Masters underlines BMW's strong commitment to the world of golf, as well as to China itself, which is BMW's largest market. This tournament is part of BMW´s commitment to supporting the growth of golf in China. We look forward to seeing everyone again at the BMW Masters in 2014."

The suborder Heteroptera , sometimes known as True Bugs, comprises about 40,000 species in 86 families and is one of the largest groups of non-holometabolous insects. They show tremendous morphological and biological diversity; however, like other non-holometabolous insects they have attracted the attention of only a small number of researchers. True bugs are found in terrestrial, aquatic, and even marine habitats and their feeding preferences range from phytophagous to zoophagous and hematophagous, involving monophagy, mixed feeding, and parasitism.
Our lab at the University of California Riverside (UCR) focuses on systematic research in the two largest family-rank taxa within Heteroptera, the Reduviidae, or assassin bugs, and the Miridae, or plant bugs, as well as other true bugs, such as Dipsocoromorpha.

Bach by popular demand, the chamber music ensemble Bach & Forth will perform an afternoon of classical music at Le Petit Salon de Musique on November 9 at 2 p.m. This relatively new group has been thrilling audiences across Long Island – including a very appreciative crowd when they performed at Le Petit Salon last November. Bach & Forth consists of flautist Linda DiMartino Wetherill, oboist and duduk player Terry Keevil, cellist Rebecca Perea, pianist Thomas Bohlert, and soprano Trudy Craney. Bach & Forth's goal is to present the old and new in music, and everything in between. In their third season together, the ensemble is offering a program of music that features two Bach arias, as well as new works including Peteris Vask's "Landscape with Birds" for solo flute, and a "looping" cello solo.
About Le Petit Salon de Musique
Welcome to "Le Petit Salon de Musique", a place where you can enjoy exceptional music in a lovely, intimate setting at a very reasonable price.
Here's what some of our guests have said about Le Petit Salon concerts:
"Le Petit Salon de Musique continues to provide outstanding programs featuring truly accomplished musicians. The intimacy of the setting, and the virtuosity of the performers, make it a unique experience for people who truly love good music. We have been attending since the Salon's inception, re-arranging our own busy schedules whenever necessary in order not to miss a single concert." Susan and Paul Glatzer
"On December 18, 2011 we attended the concert at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship which featured Alexandria and Friends. It was our first concert at the Fellowship. We experienced one of the most exciting, enjoyable and musically competent concerts we have attended in many years. Alexandria Lee's piano performance was professional, beautiful and electrifying. The individual soloists on the violin, cello, viola and flute displayed outstanding competency. The finale quartet was nothing more than breathtaking. We look forward to attending future concerts." Deanna and Ted Schwartzman
"The concerts are absolutely superb. The performers are first rate and the venue is great. Keep it up!" George
"I've attended two of the concerts, and have to say that I was amazed at their professionalism. The music is wonderful and the atmosphere cozy. I could listen to the string quartet every week-they were magnificent!" Diana
"I just wanted to say that I was so glad I made it to the concert (just in the nick of time!!) because the performance was absolutely wonderful. I commented to another that I wouldn't be surprised if people somewhere, in other venues, etc., pay up to 10 times what we did yesterday to hear such a concert (Clueri Quartet). It was just amazing. Thank you for continuing to bring us such talented artists, at an irresistibly affordable price." Carol Castillo
The Salon is located at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at Stony Brook on Nicolls Road, north of Rt. 347. (Your GPS will know it as 380 Nicolls Road, E. Setauket). For information, call (631)543-0337.

Hacker Group Claims It Closed Down Vatican Site
Rome -- Hackers are claiming to have shut down the website for the Catholic Church Wednesday.
Vatican.va, the official website of the Holy See, was not operational Wednesday afternoon.
Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi confirmed to CNN the site was hacked, but said it would be "fully operational" again shortly.
Anonymous, a loosely-knit international hacking group, claimed responsibility for the church website shutdown.
"Anonymous has now decided to lay siege to your site in response to the doctrines, liturgies and the precepts, absurd and anachronistic, that your organization, (which) is for profit, propagates and spreads worldwide," a statement in Italian on the blog "ufficiale di Anonymous Italia" read.
"This is NOT intended to attack the Christian religion or against the faithful around the world, but to the corrupt Roman Apostolic Church and all its emanations," the statement added.
A longtime follower of Anonymous who is in touch with the hackers involved and who has knowledge of the plan told CNN that hackers within Anonymous Italy and AntiSec were responsible for shutdown of the church website. AntiSec Anons describe themselves as the "special forces" of the collective.
The source confirmed the statement on the Italian hacker's website.
"It's not a personal attack on Christians, just on the Vatican itself," said the source, who asked to remain anonymous to protect their identity from the group.
Anonymous Italy also cited the Catholic Church's teachings on birth control and abortion and the way it handled widespread sexual abuse scandals as other reasons for the hacking.
The U.S. arm of the Anonymous hacking group has targeted government agencies and corporations before but not religious organizations. The group claimed responsibility for hacking into an FBI phone call with their Irish counterparts and cyberstrikes between December 2010 and June 2011 that included denial of service attacks against the websites of Visa, MasterCard and PayPal.
A denial of service (DoS) attack typically involves the use of a large number of computers to bombard websites with phony requests for information, causing the site to temporarily shut down.
On Tuesday, top members of the computer hacker group and its offshoots were arrested and charged after a wide-ranging investigation which was assisted by a group leader working as a secret government informant. The FBI informant, "Sabu," was a part of the elite AntiSec hackers.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Kita: Give Muslims religious freedom too
As a person who was born into a Muslim family but does not want to be a Muslim, I totally agree with this wholeheartedly. No one asked me whether I wanted to be a Muslim. Why is it that just because my father is a Muslim, I also have to be a Muslim? Where is my religious freedom?
Kudos to Zaid Ibrahim for speaking out on this. This is why he is my favourite and most respected politician.

Here is my TARDIS model that I've been working on all night.
It took me about 6.5 hours.
So now I'll just hop into my actual TARDIS and drop it off to my past self, so I won't have to build it, and then I can get that sleep that I really need.

Uwe E. Reinhardt is an economics professor at Princeton. He has some financial interests in the health care field.
Sometime around 1780-70 B.C., the Babylonian King Hammurabi promulgated the now famous Code of Hammurabi, covering both civil and criminal law.
Today's Economist

Among the 282 laws in Hammurabi's Code, nine (215 to 223) pertain to medical practice:
215. If a physician make a large incision with an operating knife and cure it, or if he open a tumor (over the eye) with an operating knife, and saves the eye, he shall receive 10 shekels in money.
216. If the patient be a freed man, he receives five shekels.
217. If he be the slave of someone, his owner shall give the physician two shekels.
218. If a physician make a large incision with the operating knife, and kill him, or open a tumor with the operating knife, and cut out the eye, his hands shall be cut off.
219. If a physician make a large incision in the slave of a freed man, and kill him, he shall replace the slave with another slave.
220. If he had opened a tumor with the operating knife, and put out his eye, he shall pay half his value.
221. If a physician heal the broken bone or diseased soft part of a man, the patient shall pay the physician five shekels in money.
222. If he were a freed man he shall pay three shekels.
223. If he were a slave his owner shall pay the physician two shekels.

"This is not a bug, is a feature..."
This is NOT realy a bug, but a misconfiguration that afect **EVERY** web
server that suports a script language (like PHP, ASP, Cold Fusion or
Example: You have Apache with PHP and configure ONLY the .php extension to
be interpreted by the PHP engine; if you use one file with .php4 extension
(or .inc, .class or another) as "include file", this is a potencial problem
if you have typed valuable information in these files, as database
connection, services running or installed, network topology and others.
The problem for explore this misconfiguration is know the name of the files
used as "include files" as they don´t appear in the interpreted script that
calls the "include file"
Workarounds for the web admin: list every file extensions used as "script
files" and "include files" in the web server and verify if they are
configured. These files can´t be acessed by other network service (as ftp or
nfs) or local. And don´t forget the permission of the files...
Workaround for the script writers: if your script uses uncommon extensions,
include that information in the documentation, with the configuration method
for the web server.
PS: Sorry for the (I think) poor english :-(

Basilix Webmail System *.class *.inc Permission Vulnerability
Release Date:
January 12, 2001
Version Affected:
Basilix Webmail System 0.9.7beta
There is a simple mistake in the Basilix Webmail system. If .class file
extension is not defined as a PHP script at the httpd.conf any attacker
may see very valuable information by simply enterering the URL :
MySQL password and username is stored in this file.
Example Exploit:
<http://<>running-basilix>/inc/sendmail.inc (settings.inc and etc.)
Class and inc file extensions should be defined as PHP files and shouldn'
t be given read permissions from outside. Obviously, MySQL port should
also be filtered from remote connects.
