the Afghan Whigs' set list by recording.
I can't remember the exact order, so we'll go by album:
- Up In It: "Son of the South"
- Congregation: "Conjure Me"
- Gentlemen: "Gentlemen," "Debonair," "When We Two Parted," "Fountain And Fairfax," "What Jail Is Like"
- Black Love: "Crime Scene Part One," "My Enemy," "Going To Town," "Faded"
- 1965: "Somethin' Hot," "Crazy," "Uptown Again," "66," "Omerta," "The Vampire Lanois"
- Covers: "See But Don't See," "Lovecrimes"
- Borrowed Bits From Other Songs: The Beatles' "She Loves You" in "Omerta"; Prince's "Purple Rain" in "Faded"
"Somethin' Hot," "Omerta," and "The Vampire Lanois" were the encore songs.
I would have liked one more song from each of the first two albums, but it's hard to quibble with that set list.

Cholesterol Health™ Helps Facilitate Removal of Cholesterol from the Body.
Cholesterol Health™ helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range.

1) Plant sterols help prevent the absorption of cholesterol from food.
2) Limits the re-absorption of cholesterol produced by the body.

I am processing multiple .pcap files using the --pcap-dir option, and have my snort.conf setup to put alerts in a csv
file using alert_CSV. After processing with Snort I load the results into a MySQL database. I want to include the
filename of the pertinent .pcap for each alert, but there does not seem to be an option for that for the csv output
module. Can anyone suggest a way to do this?
Thanks in advance - Jon

Fletcher Allen, a Vermont university hospital and medical center, serves all of
Vermont and the northern New York region. Located in Burlington, Fletcher Allen is a regional, academic healthcare center and teaching hospital in alliance with the University of Vermont.
Aortic Stenosis Diagnosis
Aortic stenosis may be detected when your doctor notices a heart murmur at a routine check-up. A murmur can be an indication of turbulent blood flow across an abnormal valve.
If you need evaluation and expert care for your condition, your physician may refer you to a cardiologist at Fletcher Allen. The cardiologist will thoroughly assess your problem, order tests and make a diagnosis.
Diagnosing Aortic Stenosis
Fletcher Allen's cardiac imaging specialists are specially trained in the latest technology to diagnose diseases of the heart valves. The process of diagnosis may involve the following:
- Chest X-ray – A chest x-ray shows the size and shape of your heart and major blood vessels, as well as the condition of your lungs. It can help determine if your left ventricle is enlarged, which may be a sign of aortic stenosis. A chest x-ray also can help identify calcium build-up on the valve.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) – This test records the electrical activity of your heart through electrodes attached to your skin. An ECG may help determine if the left ventricle is enlarged, a possible sign of aortic stenosis.
- Echocardiogram – This test, an ultrasound of the heart, uses sound waves to create a live video image of your heart. It is a safe and non-invasive way to look at the heart's pumping function and at the heart valves, as well as the vessels in the chest. An echocardiogram can be used to examine the aortic valve for any dysfunction that might be present.
- Coronary catheterization or angiogram – To get a better view of blood flow in your heart, an interventional cardiologist may inject dye into your coronary arteries. The dye is injected through a long, thin tube called a catheter, which is threaded through an artery in your leg or wrist to the heart. The dye is then visible on x-ray and video, helping to identify blocked or narrowed arteries. This test is used to identify any blockages that may exist along with aortic stenosis. At the same time, the interventional cardiologist may assess severity of the aortic valve blockage by measuring pressures in your heart.
Aortic Stenosis Treatment
Once we obtain a diagnosis, we will create an individualized treatment plan designed specifically for you. For more information on aortic stenosis or treatment call us at 802-847-2862 or find a Fletcher Allen physician.

There's nothing especially new about douchebag rock. The Rolling Stones, Lou Reed, and countless others have shoehorned the subgenre into the larger pop canon. But in the present decade, plenty of indie boys have gotten in touch with their inner assholes: The Walkmen, Say Anything, The Strokes, and, most notably, OK Go spring immediately to mind. Hailing from Wilmington, Delaware — a locale that's never received much music-industry ink — the Spinto Band aims to make utter and total dickishness fun, frisky, and frantic. While 2005's Nice and Nicely Done got the ball rolling in fine style, its new album, Moonwink, ups the ante by packing even more structural twists, keyboard bubblegum, and on-a-dime chord changes into the band's peppy pop sneers. It helps the group's cause that Nick Krill is the rare frontman who really, really seems to enjoy what he does. He treats each lyric sheet as an Olympic event, sliding from chatty, buzzed excitement to slurred, scatty issuance to soothing over-pronunciation as the band tap-dances through infectious numbers that would set comfortably in a musical. You'd want him on hand at the bar as your wingman, if not as your best friend forever.

All this got me thinking about some of the other QB's we Dolfans have had, (who were not called Griese or Marino)
Earl Morrall
Possibly the greatest back up of all!
Having a career that spanned 21 years is some achievement in any sport let alone American Football. Earl Morrall came to the fins in 1972 and stepped in for Bob Griese in week 5, and the rest as they say "is history."
We go undefeated and eventual Superbowl winners!
Morrall the consummate professional, handed the keys to the team back to Griese when he returned from injury. But he was awarded the first ever comeback player of the year award for his troubles.
Can you believe the Dolphins paid just $100 dollars for him off waivers! Wow!
David Woodley
The man in the middle!
Personally I think this guy had it tough, not only did he come in and take over from future hall of famer, Bob Griese, but then he gets followed by arguably the greatest QB of all time … David was an 8th round pick who really punched above his weight, but don't forget we won with Woodley and we made it to Superbowl XVII (ok, ok not a great game but… come on!)
Don Strock
The wily veteran!
I loved Don Strock. Dan Marino loved Don Strock. From being a young understudy to Griese through Woodstrock, all the way to mentoring the great "Dan the man", Don had seen and done it all over the years. Drafted in the 5th round in 1973 he played until 1989, that's 16 years of experience that even Dan Marino missed when he left, and who can forget the AFC divisional game against the Chargers!
Jay Fielder
The game manager!
This is a strange one, was Jay Fielder any good?… Well he had three, ten plus winning seasons, an AFC East title and a playoff win, (we'd take that now, wouldn't we?).
Ok, ok he never set the passing records, he never won League MVP awards, but he played gutsy and did what he had to do to win. He was helped by a superb defense, and the "ground it out" style of the offense (did I hear someone say boring?). He had an 11 year career in the NFL so he can't have been that bad after all…
Ray Lucas/ A.J Feely
The less said the better!
John Beck
The nearly man!
So this guy was supposed to be the next man up for the Dolphins, being drafted in round 2, but after a disastrous season (we all know how bad that was) the writing was on the wall for this guy. He was shipped off to join the guy who picked him. Just be thankful we didn't take JeMarcus Russell.
Over the years we have had some interesting guys playing QB for us from Steve Deberg, Scott Mitchell, Bernie Kosar, Ron "jaws" Jaworski, Damon Huard, Brian Griese, Gus Frerotte, Joey Harrington, Daunte Culpepper, Cleo Lemon, Trent Green, and of course Chad Pennington. Some were bad, some were worse than that, one or two were good. We've had young guns and savvy vets, other team's cast offs and the "next big thing" generally to no avail.
As for Chad Henne, what will we be saying in years to come? Only time will tell!
Thanks for reading another, Historical Highlight!

Journal of Ethology
The Journal of Ethology features reviews and original papers relating to all aspects of animal behavior, including traditional ethology. The journal presents papers on field, laboratory, and theoretical studies. In contrast to ethological journals that prefer studies testing explicit hypotheses, the Journal of Ethology publishes both in observational studies and in experimental studies.
The journal is published with the Japan Ethological Society, which was formed in 1982 with the objectives of advancing and disseminating knowledge of the principles and applications of ethology, and fostering the exchange of scientific information not only among Japanese but also worldwide ethologists.

206 Bones: A Temperance Brennan Novelby Kathy Reichs
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs delivers another "outstanding" book (Publishers Weekly) in her "cleverly plotted" (The New York Times) Temperance Brennan series, the inspiration for the hit FOX television series Bones.
There are 206 bones in the human body. Forensic anthropologists know them intimately, can use them to reconstruct every kind of violent end. When Tempe finds herself regaining consciousness in some kind of very small, very dark, very cold enclosed space—bound, hands to feet—Tempe begins slowly to reconstruct...
Tempe and Lieutenant Ryan had accompanied the recently discovered remains of a missing heiress from Montreal to the Chicago morgue. Suddenly, Tempe was accused of mishandling the autopsy—and the case. Back in Montreal, the corpse of a second elderly woman was found in the woods, and then a third. Seamlessly weaving between Tempe's present-tense terror as she's held captive and her memory of the cases of these murdered women, Reichs reveals the incredible devastation that would occur if a forensic colleague sabotaged work in the lab. The chemistry between Tempe and Ryan intensifies as this complex, riveting tale unfolds, proving once again, that Reichs is the dominant talent in forensic mystery writing.
The "New York Times"-bestselling author and co-producer of the FOX televisionhit "Bones" returns with a spectacular new novel featuring America's favoriteforensic anthropologist, Tempe Brennan.
The twelfth riveting thriller featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, by #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs.
New York Times #1 bestselling author Kathy Reichs is back with her twelfth novel featuring America's favorite forensic anthropologist, Tempe Brennan.
About the Author
Kathy Reichs, like her character Dr. Temperance Brennan, is a forensic anthropologist, formerly for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in North Carolina and currently for the Laboratoire de sciences judiciaires et de médecine légale for the province of Quebec. A professor in the department of anthropology at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, she is one of only ninety-nine forensic anthropologists ever certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology. Reichs's first book, Déjà Dead, catapulted her to fame when it became a New York Times bestseller and won the 1997 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Her latest Temperance Brennan novel, Bones of the Lost, was an instant New York Times bestseller. Her website is KathyReichs.com.

200 MPH Club Stories
The Bonneville 200 MPH Club is a beast because it's very difficult to get into. Not only do you have to run in excess of 200 mph to be eligible for it, but you don't get the coveted red hat unless you break an existing record at Bonneville at the same time, and you must also meet the mph minimum that is established by the club; sometimes the existing record is the minimum, sometimes it's higher. Consequently, land speed racing is chock-full of stories about racers who tried and failed to get their hat. Of the 487 vehicles competing at this event, only 22 drivers got into the club and only two more got into the vaunted 300 MPH Club. Mike Manghelli (shown here in the White Goose Bar) tunes the White Goose Bar '80 VW pickup now, but it took a decade full of crashes and several other car builds before he joined the club. He crashed in 1994 at 258 mph in a big-block-powered lakester during a qualifying pass that was faster than the existing record. Mike broke his humerus, elbow, and hand and then wasn't able to back up his run due to the accident. He spent the next nine years helping others get into the club in various cars, including Mike Cook's Alfa Romeo. In 2003, he was finally in the right car at the right time and scored his red hat with a 232-mph run in the Wilson Waters highboy.
Since the very first Speed Week event in 1949, HOT ROD has presented a special award to the team that makes the fastest pass down the salt. Several years ago, the trophy had to be enlarged to fit all the distinguished names onto the brass placards. After working his way up the performance ladder in a pair of roadsters and his most famous race car to date, the Troy Trepanier-built Blowfish, George Poteet strapped into the Poteet & Main D/Blown Fuel Streamliner and made sure his name would be among the greats engraved in brass. With a 5.0L Duttweiler Performance Hellfire V-8 aboard the Speed Demon, George drove the D/Blown Fuel Streamliner to a new record of 404.562 mph. His top time of the meet was 418.486 mph, which is the number that goes on the trophy. The Poteet & Main team got their name on the HOT ROD trophy for the first time in 2009 at 394.346 mph, and this year's run met the goal of getting a 400-plus number engraved on the brass. It's the first top time to exceed 400 mph since Nolan White's 422 mph in 2002.

We currently have 52 Smartboards at our school and these are a combination of SB500-SB600 boards all manufactured before 2012. We have just bought 4 new SB660 boards manufactured this year but after what I thought would just be a quick replacement, have found that the board won't speak to the computer. We are currently running Smart version 10.0.123.0.01:25:09 Apr 3 2008 and Driver version 10.0.124.0. My question is has the firmware changed for boards made in 2012 and therefore the driver needs to be updated and/or has anyone else experienced this.
Kind Regards

Ask me anything http://formspring.me/hcmarks
Ask me anything http://formspring.me/hcmarks
So awesome. I hope I live that long and still retain a few of my marbles…
And you thought Apple was draconian.
It was killed before its time. Some say it was ahead of its time. Regardless, TechTV was a network on the cutting edge - not just in terms of the technology it covered, but in the way it promoted tech news as more than just a niche industry. On TechTV, gadgets and science were as important as wars and healthcare reform on CNN or Fox News.
When the station was bought by G4 and turned into "SpikeTV Lite", it lost 99% of everything that made it so special and while Olivia Munn is smart and sexy, the continuous loop of COPS episodes and Japanese game shows is not.
Relegated to the not-so-far ends of the Web, Leo Laporte, TechTV's grand poohbah and the guy everybody used to "call for help", founded a new station, however this one was different - it was online.
The TWiT (This Week in Tech) network was started by Leo Laporte in 2005 as a recorded dinner conversation among several former TechTV-ers after covering that year's Macworld Expo in San Francisco. What started as an informal conversation among friends turned into arguably the biggest tech-focused Internet television and radio station.
So, why am I writing this? If it's so big, what more could it possibly need? That's easy; it needs to be mainstream.
Ask any non-techy if they've ever heard of TWiT and they'll most likely think you're talking about your ex-girlfriend. Remind them of Leo Laporte and they'll probably go, "Oh yeah, that guy in the Hawaiian shirts who helped people fix their computers?" Leo is a tech icon and, not to sound overly butt-kissy, but inspired me to take the leap into tech journalism in the first place, which is why it irks me that TWiT is not as mainstream as it should be.
Technology is no longer a "and on the lighter side of news" topic. It affects our daily lives, from our PCs to our BlackBerries, and as such, should be more prominently featured within the "mainstream media". It's fine to wax philosophical about Tiger Woods' cheating for 12 hours on CNN, but various European governments are plotting ways to ban their citizens from accessing the Internet forever should they get caught illegally downloading a song and it barely gets a two-minute segment on MSNBC.
There's a serious deficit in the quality of news that is reported today because news organizations are run by expensive suits who don't have the time to pay attention to what's going on outside their offices. They're slaves to email, yet they don't care about what's on the horizon - what may be coming to replace email in the near future.
Leo said on episode 215 of This Week in Tech that TechTV
"…failed because advertisers really didn't have faith in broadcasting intended for intelligent audiences. Advertisers thought, intelligent people are going to watch the ads, they're just going to decide what to buy because they're intelligent, we can't influence them. And I wanted to make the point to these young people and these people in transition that in fact you could do a smart network – TWiT's been nothing but aimed at intelligent people – and make a living."
I've personally signed up for a Carbonite account to backup my files and purchased Audible gift cards for my father for Christmas based on the recommendations of Leo Laporte and the TWiTs. To claim that viewers are too intelligent to fall for ads is just lazy marketing.
If customers don't buy something, it's not because they already made up their minds beforehand. It's because the marketers didn't do their jobs in convincing those consumers that they needed what was being advertised. This goes for any show on any network in any medium, be it television, radio or print. People are smart. They should not be treated as potatoes with wallets.
We're living in a era of perpetual innovation. New developments are being made across industries and oceans and TWiT has managed to cover an exorbitant amount of them throughout the many, many shows that are a part of its network. The TWiT family of shows is a vital resource of insight into what can, at times, seem like a very closed industry. The people who host and appear as guests on the shows with Leo manage to bring their expertise and unique points of view to topics not being discussed in detail on other networks.
And this argument doesn't just extend to TWiT; this goes for the blogs and tech sites that are just as, if not more journalistic than their print competition (DaringFireball.net, Engadget and Mashable come to mind). These sites don't tend to get the same number of views as the New York Times or USA Today, but they are just as necessary to read as any mainstream publication.
Technology is constantly changing, it's always growing. Technology is organic. News is the same way. Therefore, it's only natural that as technology grows, its presence in the mainstream media also grows and the people who are capable of leading this charge, of heralding the latest innovations to the huddled masses are those who make up the TWiT network. Thank you, Leo and everyone who's a part of TWiT - I can't wait to see what's next.
I'm sick of commenting on this story (if you follow me on Twitter, you understand), but I've put some links together that I think give the best overview of the Gizmodo/iPhone scandal - and none of these links go to Gizmodo itself. They're playing coy and cute about the whole thing and not giving up the whole story.
My take on the entire situation: Gizmodo bought stolen property, lied to its readers and publicly humiliated and possibly ruined the career of a guy who seems to have made a truly honest mistake. Gizmodo is not a news site; it's a sociopathic wannabe-TMZ for comment-trolling, Mountain Dew-chugging nerds.
That said, here are the links:
"How Gizmodo got the biggest iPhone scoop of all" by Andy Ihnatko (Chicago Sun-Times)
"Gizmodo and the Prototype iPhone" by John Gruber (Daringfireball.net)
The Conversation: Episode 12 - "the Gizmodo/iPhone Thing" - a podcast by Dan Benjamin, featuring Andy Ihnatko and John Gruber
Apple's next iPhone: what we know (and what we don't) by Paul Miller (Engadget)
This should tide you over until the next scandal (or, hopefully, until the phone is officially announced/released at this year's WWDC).

Was seriously one of THE most perfect line-ups I've ever witnessed!! Every single band kept up the energy and none of them lacked in any way! Only thing that sucked is that Go Radio couldn't be there the night we went due to venue rules =( But I will see them on Warped Tour.
If the On Your Side Tour is coming near you, GO SEE IT!!! IT WILL BE WORTH IT!!
Pictures will be up either today or tomorrow. They're not the best quality due to needing flash all night, but I don't care =)
Also, I GOT TO MEET ANDREW COOK!! He used to be the drummer for The Receiving End of Sirens (internal freak out in itself) and he's now the drummer for A Rocket to the Moon!! Seriously one of the best moments of my life!!! =D
Okay, I'm done =) Anyone else on here happen to be at San Francisco show??

On the road: Have yourself a Rumpus
'Is my tail wonky?' I find myself staring at the behind of a man dressed as a tiger wearing the tail of a fox. I consider this for a moment. 'Wonky? Well, a little.' I make a slight adjustment and send the tiger fox on his way. I need to get back to the important matter of considering my own tail, before I end up with a serious case of tail envy. We're in the Tall Tail corner of a warehouse in London's Islington where you can buy yourself a tail to match your outfit for the night. But zebra or dragon? These are the sort of obscure questions you find yourself asking at Rumpus, probably one of the best roving parties in London right now.
I call it a roving party, because it doesn't fall under the bracket of club night. "We think a good party is about more than cramming people onto a dance floor and playing music at them," they say, and that they definitely do. With six rooms of different shenanigans they have music covering genres as diverse as gypsy folk to electro - even a DIY kazoo band (see below) - as well as performances of everything from contortionists to miracle-makers, all orchestrated at the breakneck pace of pandemonium. It is a Rumpus in the truest sense of the word. A fanciful commotion. It's a ballyhoo and a bluster, a foofawar and a furore, a hoo-ha and a zoo. Literally a zoo this time, as the theme and dress code for the night is 'Carnival of the Animals'.
As we wait in the queue three giant burlesque rabbits on stilts that look like a cross between Donnie Darko's nemesis and Dita Von Teese stalk the line preparing you for the madness that awaits just beyond the door. A sign announces in big bold letters: 'FUN TIMES. INSTANT ENJOYMENT.' It's silly, but it's true.
As we walk in an aerial trapeze artist with feathers in her hair swings above our heads, and a band of alien animals are playing classical strings with a punk twist. The psychedelic giraffe is lost in concentration on the cello while the panda on keys looks terribly sad. Someone in Beetlejuice trousers is handing out candy floss and in the next room the crowds are dancing to the most hip-twitching rockabilly. It's like walking in on the Animals of Raving Wood.
If you haven't come dressed up you get charged an extra GBD 2 on the door from the usual price of GBP 17. It's like a Fun Tax; you're penalised for not letting loose. Costumes range from the miraculous to the makeshift. You get just as much recognition for a shark styled out of cardboard boxes as you would for transforming yourself into a unicorn. Some wonderfully pretty zebra princesses will paint your face or style your hair if you don't feel the part. In the outside world you worry about looking silly, but once inside the only thing to worry about is not looking silly enough.
That's the wonderful thing about this night. It's about rediscovering an inner playfulness. It's something that has been happening for years in England, which has seen the popularity of music festivals like Cambridgeshire's Secret Garden Party and Isle of Wight's Bestival soar. People want the opportunity to dress up and play. And it's not just a few people; Rumpus alone attracts over 1000 - in October they are expanding to a 2000-capacity venue - and a music festival like Secret Garden Party has grown from 1000 people in 2004 to around 30,000 now selling out months in advance. Playfulness doesn't necessarily mean harking back to childhood; just back to the lack of inhibitions that make it perfectly acceptable to sword fight using your animal tails like two cats chasing each other in circles. In centre of the electro room is a giant ball pit where the animals are going in two-by-two. This is where I find myself. Emerged up to my neck while throwing multi-coloured balls at a confused clown, safe in the knowledge this sort of behaviour is not just encouraged, but downright good fun.
Tickets are still available for Rumpus Vol. 10: A Very Royal Jubilee on June 1, after which they will be gallivanting around the UK festivals this summer.

Firefighters Douse Building Fire in Eaton
EATON -- Firefighters have doused a fire in a two-story building that began just before 6 a.m. Friday.
Eaton firefighters are still on the scene at 212 N. Barron Street, checking for hot spots after flames broke out in the back of the building, which houses a business on the first floor and apartments above.
Firefighters say the business space was vacant and no one was home when the fire started. By the time they arrived, the flames were too intense to fight from the interior of the structure.
Other, nearby apartments that were occupied were not in danger and no one was evacuated from those units.
John Ritchie of Eaton says he saw flames from blocks away.
Firefighters say power was shut off to the building for the safety of the first responders but there were no injuries.
Work was being done in the building on Thursday, possibly renovations, and investigators will look into those actions to determine a cause. Right now, there is no indication as to what started the fire.

He made more than 100 appearances in television and occasionally films between 1949 and 1991. Sharp began as a film actor in 1949 and appeared in films throughout the 1950s. By the mid 1960s he mostly appeared in British television on popular shows of the era such as The Avengers "Murdersville" episodes, the Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) episode "The Ghost Who Saved the Bank at Monte Carlo"; The Prisoner, Not On Your Nellie opposite Hylda Baker, Z-Cars, and The Sweeney (1976 episode "On the Run"). He performed in Charles Dickens TV adaptations in the 1980s. In 1991, he made his last television appearance in the programme Lovejoy. He played the role of the "apparently cynical" Uncle Will in Luigi Comencini's 1966 Incompreso.

Researchers are to deliver more than 1 Gigabit bandwidth for each member of the crowd at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium in time for the 2020 Olympics. The number of mobile broadband users worldwide is expected to reach four billion by 2017.
Vice-President of the European Commission Neelie Kroes, who is responsible for the EU strategy Digital Agenda, said: "It's not enough to have a beautiful smart phone – it needs to work everywhere you want it to work. Investments in fast broadband research will repay taxpayers many times over. Europe is leading efforts to make 5G a reality."
The EU and Japan will each invest €6 million funding from the Horizon 2020 EU research and innovation programme in the four projects:
• RAPID will use radio network architectures to advance #5G technology, supporting smart phone internet download of more than 1Gbs bandwidth to each user in an Olympic stadium and other crowded public areas by 2017. The move aims to enable the download of a 1-hour HD movie in just 30 seconds.
• iKaaS will develop a secure platform for smart cities based on big data resources collected from Internet of Things (#IoT) that will sense environments such as mobile terminals, smart devices and smart homes.
• SAFARI will develop programmable optical hardware for multi-flow transport functions that will be scalable to at least 400Gbps/channel. Theoretically, one channel could carry 20,000 real-time HD blue-ray video streams (20 Mbit/s) at the same time.

In February 2014, European Commission Vice-President Neelie Kroes called for global consensus on 5G by 2015: "Let's find a global consensus on the scope of 5G, its main technological constituents, and the timetable for putting it in place. Let's work this out together. And let's work it out soon: by the end of 2015. So all our citizens can get the 5G boost as early as possible."
Last June, the European Commission and Korea agreed to work towards a global definition of 5G and to cooperate in 5G research.

Stickers! Professionally printed on high quality vinyl and laminated to resist water and wear & tear!
All right, guys! You keep pleading for it, and I want to deliver. We are putting the GaMERCaT Fleece Blankets up for sale for a special preorder period!
But we need your help. It will be a HUGE cost to get these professionally manufactured. Rather than run another Kickstarter, there seems to be enough demand to raise the funds via preorders instead.
The benefits to this new production method are numerous and worth the bigger cost. There will be enough of them for everybody to get one, the material will be thicker and softer, and the blankets will be cheaper! (Original price $39.99, now $29.99)
Estimated arrival will be around October. Preorders will remain open until we reach funding, but the sooner we do the sooner we can get them ordered. So don't hold back!
Please order!! =①∇①= Thank you!!

Bob Herbert Calls for Popular Movement on U.S. Jobs Crisis
By Jennifer Wilmore, Communiqué
Feb. 15th — "It's a disgrace that this is happening in a country as rich as ours," former New York Times op-ed columnist Bob Herbert said, describing what he called a "massive employment crisis" in the U.S.
Herbert, a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the economic equality think tank Demos, delivered his lecture on "A Call to Civic Engagement" as part of SIPA's Weston lecture series.
"As a society, we've been unwilling to face up to the enormous scale of this employment crisis," Herbert said, calling on citizens to build a movement to put the jobs crisis at the top of U.S. policy and media agendas.

Penetration Testing
mailing list archives
I am curently working on a CF image based linux distribution for
(inline) pentesting purposes (LIPAX).
While working truegh my wishlist of libraries and tools to add to this
image, I ran into the fact that some of the libraries end/or tools being
either by themselves or by their implied dependancies rather big.
I now end up with 3 of those things that I must considder if I should
add or drop them. They could fit on the image, but maybe the users
would find them a waste of space.
I would like to hear your ideas of wether to add or drop these
OpenH323 etc: Library and tools for H323 based VoIP
I have no high knowledge on VoIP, and am not sure if anyone
is actualy including H323 stuff in their pentests.
Its altogether kind of big, so if noone else also ever uses
H323, this may be a waste of space.
Ethereal etc: Ethereal is a simple but modular network protocol monitoring
tool, together with all the development possibilities it
takes up a real big amounth of space. I personaly would use
a range of perl modules included in the LIPAX distro also,
but I know some people think the world of ethereal.
I would personaly like to drop it unless any of you guys
can convince me I shouldn't.
libACE: LibACE is an extremely powerfull C++ library for writing
networking software, it is kind of big, but when you like
me like to use C++ to write your own non trivial network
testing tools for specialized purposes, it would be worth
this space. I am hoping I am not the only one who likes
using C++/ACE in such context, If I am I could considder
droping it if both OpenH323 and Ethereal are considdered
essential by you guys.
So my proposal would be:
* Keep libACE
* drop Ethereal
* No clue with respect to H323
Please let me know what you guys think of it.

Bank of America Home Loans Complaint
Bank of America taking advantage! - Mortgage/foreclosure
office in Simi Valley, CA
Bank of America is totally screwing me. I am losing my home to foreclosure. I had a total cash offer for my home and because Bank of America approved it 12 hours too late my buyer walked.
Bankof America has been leading me on for many months. They kept telling me I was pre-qualified, and even at some point qualified, then refused to help me. I'm tired of being led on. They would not work with me from day one. They have been hard to get ahold of and never answered calls or emails from my RE agent or me.
I have come to find out the reason that Bank of America is not or stalling short sales is because if they foreclose, because they are insured by the Federal Government they will get money. This is a sad state of affairs when the Federal Government is aiding in putting people out of they're homes.
I have never been in such a financial hole as I am now, and they are ruining my credit so I can't move on with my life. The stress is horrendous, my hair is literally falling out.

By: James Robinson (Writer), Leonard Kirk (Penciller), Karl Kessel (Inker), Jesus Aburtov and Veronica Gandini (Color Artists), Dean Haspiel & Nolan Woodard (Flashback Artists), VC's Clayton Cowles (Letterer)
The Story:
Susan yells at the Avengers, the kids yell at Hammond, and Ben yells at Johnny.
The Review:
This issue is broken down into four distinct and linear chapters. The first is the Fantastic Four facing the Avengers (six pages), the Future Foundation facing Hammond (one page), the Thing facing against the Human Torch (three pages), and a flashback that details the memory of why Ben is confronting Johnny (six pages.) (Yes, this is counting double-page spreads as one page, which is kind of how things read nowadays on a tablet reader.)
Unfortunately, this kind of compartmentalization, exasperated by having the last compartment in an entirely different artistic style, fragments any kind of momentum for the story. This issue marks six months since the new relaunch, and it seems like the characters are still merely being pushed around, a long-form positioning so they can fit the kind of story Robinson wants to tell, which I hope will be soon. But let's forgo a meta-textual critique and leave Robinson's name out of it. Looking at the in-text narrative, it's still apparent that all the forces coming down on the characters are coming from outside themselves. The FF's troubles are coming from the courtroom (which is still not clear if that was a government action or civil suit, which nonetheless results in government action in-between panels), the Avengers are representing said courtroom's interest, the Camp Hammond kids are complaining about things they overhear other people talking about as well as what other people will be doing to Dragon Man, and the Thing is reacting to a new memory given to him from the Original Sin crossover plot point, in which Reed and Johnny did something to him that we will have to wait until next issue to see.
Yes, there are some moments of clear characterization as these people react to what's put upon them, most notably Invisible Woman with her cry of "won't somebody think of the children" in a double-page spread of impressive display of power. But the ultimately what's happening is that, for at least the second issue in a row, the Four are completely without agency in their own comic with no hint that this will be resolved soon.

The wealth of property
Note: This post was revised at 10:30 AM to remove vacant lots from the data and map. All calculations have been adjusted. (Thanks, Justin!)
Property tax records are a frequently overlooked resource for regional demographic data. In particular, they can provide a window into distribution of wealth, something census data does a poor job of illustrating. In Tyler, as in most places, property tax data is publicly accessible. Unfortunately, it's not easily available in bulk. I've long put off writing a script to extract the data from the Smith County Appraisal District (SCAD) website, despite knowing it would be a rich source of information. So I was particularly pleased when a friend of a friend at Tyler-based TaxNetUSA offered me the complete Smith County property tax rolls, already cleaned and ready to be analyzed. Thanks to this new, rich data source I can make things like this:
Tyler home values, 2011
I find this map fascinating for any number of reasons, but first a few caveats about how it was created. It might seem that this would be as simple as selecting properties labeled residential and putting them on a map. In fact, there is no single way of identifying a property as being residential. In order to estimate what constitutes a "home" I used the following process:
- Connect each property tax record to the tax parcel documenting its shape (the parcel shapes are what is actually mapped).
- Connect each tax parcel to the zoning area it is in.
- Filter out all tax parcels not in a residential zone.
- Filter out all parcels with zero "improvement value" to remove vacant lots.
Unfortunately, for reasons that are unclear, this doesn't come even close to filtering out all businesses, churches, state lands, etc. (Ostensibly the zoning in Tyler is a total mess.) To accomplish this I had to go over the data and generate a long list of rules about what not to include, based on the name of the "owner". So, for instance, I got rid of anything that ended in "LLC", "PENTECOSTAL" or "FOUNDATION". After a few hours of this, I had a set of properties that I believe more or less correspond to individually and jointly owned homes. It should not be believed to be perfect, but any errors should be evenly distributed throughout the dataset.
My first intuition was to shade this map by value increments of $100,000. This had the intriguing property of very clearly illustrating the "one percent" of Occupy Wall Street fame. They have homes valued at more than $500,000 and mostly live around Hollytree Country Club. However, this approach also lumped more than half of all properties (52.5%) into the "less than $100,000" group. When I observed that the median value was only $95,572 it became clear that this approach was obscuring a lot of what was interesting about the underlying data.
Instead of equal intervals, I've used quantiles to the represent the data, that is, five groups where each group accounts for 20% of the properties. Thus each color corresponds to approximately 4,723 of the 23,616 mapped properties. This has the much more valuable effect of illustrating where there is poverty (the 20% of homes worth less than $45,841) and prosperity (homes worth more than $173,640).
Even more interestingly, this approach seems to adequately distinguish the lower-middle, middle, and upper-middle classes relative to Tyler norms, though one should bear in mind that apartments are not illustrated at all. As low-income groups tend to cluster in multi-family units one should imagine that population being significantly larger than the map illustrates. Despite these limitations, I feel that this approach adequately demonstrates the reality of the economic divisions in the city. (I'm pleased to note that my neighborhood, Charnwood, is, as in all things, a melting pot.)
I didn't create this map to invoke the specter of class warfare, though frankly I don't think we can be reminded too frequently that many Americans can't afford to eat properly. I did create it in order to demonstrate how geographically and racially aggravated these class divisions are. Tyler north of Front Street is poor and Hispanic. (See the race map, I made last year.) South of Front Street is wealthy and white. The predominantly African American communities in west and northwest Tyler are marginally better off than the Hispanic areas. However, North Tyler is also growing much more rapidly, thanks to a 55% expansion in Tyler's Hispanic population over the last ten years. These demographic forces are going to have an unprecedented impact on the city during the next decade.
Hopefully this map will encourage individuals to carefully consider Tyler's class stratification, especially as it impacts efforts to support minority communities, revitalize downtown and prevent economic stagnation. I've only just scratched the surface of this property tax data and I expect to do several more blog posts using it. In the meantime, here are a few more facts about the data presented on this map.
- Total value of all properties on the map: $2,942,661,243.
- City property taxes collected on this amount: $6,147,219.
- Total land area: 63438 square acres.
- Median year of home construction: 1960.
Thanks for reading.
What I will not be doing next
In January I had an opportunity to turn Hack Tyler into something more than it is today. It was a chance to elevate the effort to a higher profile, pursue larger projects and even gain some modest financial support. I planned extensively for this chance, wrote a careful announcement letter to the city council and solicited advice from many friends and colleagues.
I have decided not to pursue this opportunity.
Though my decisions are beholden to no one (more on this in a moment), I feel I should justify this choice, in part because I believe if I had pursued this opportunity the scope and impact of Hack Tyler projects could have expanded tremendously. In short, I'm walking away from the chance to do more good.
Hack Tyler, is and—I intend—always will be, a rabbit hole for me. It is an opportunity to experiment and scratch my own itches. When I built Tyler Transit I knew it could be useful to many people, but that was not why I did it. I did it because I wanted it. I was my own user.
Were I to formalize Hack Tyler it would cease to become an outlet for my creative whims and intuitions. I would be making things because they are needed and not because I am passionate about them. This is a often a minor distinction, but the cumulative result is that the effort would begin to seem more and more like work until eventually I lost motivation.
I know this, because it's already happened. I've forced myself to work on things, not because I was excited about them, but rather because I believe they are what Tyler needs most. This has dulled my interest in them and ultimately caused me to put them aside. This is entirely my own fault. In my enthusiasm for a good idea I began to view myself as a revolutionary instead of a tinkerer. I was wrong and the result is that I ceased to be personally invested in the projects. This isn't good for me and it would almost certainly be fatal to any organized entity I might endeavor to form around the project.
I want to create great things for Tyler and I hope others are equally eager about the possibilities. However, I won't turn Hack Tyler into something that I must manage. If I am to be excited about it, it must be for my own reasons—the real ones, not the ones I made up.
I can't tell you how frequently I will be updating the site in the future, but I can guarantee that when I do it will be because I'm excited to share something I'm passionate about, not just something I believe is objectively important.
As an example, today I'd like to share with you a new, albeit minor, project:
2010 Census: Age diversity in Smith County
This is a map I made of Smith County age demographics using census data. It is also an experiment in designing a dot-density map to be color-blind friendly.
In addition, this map was a response to interest from Glory Development Corporation, a Tyler non-profit dedicated to building and rehabilitating affordable housing. This map was built to help them identify areas where there are concentrations of elderly residents. (I also made a separate, less busy version more specific to their needs.) They have big dreams and good ideas and I'm helping them because their passions overlap with mine. That, I believe, is where I am at my best and it is where I shall engage my efforts from this point on.
2010 Census: Racial diversity in Smith County (map!)
Note: It has been nearly six weeks since I last wrote on Hack Tyler. I expected some of this for the reasons outlined in my last post, however, the delay was extended by a two week period during which I thought I might not be moving to Tyler after all. This has turned out not to be the case. The exact dates are still undetermined, but I will be moving in the Fall.
Since starting Hack Tyler I've wanted to collaborate with locals who know the place better than I. For this post I invited Mike Rogers, a native of Tyler and recent graduate of the University of Richmond, to publish in tandem with me. Read his thoughtful reflections on race in Tyler at his blog, Highways and Hallowed Halls.
In the last decade the population of Tyler grew 15.8% to 96,900, not quite keeping pace with the growth of Texas or Smith County, both of which topped 20%. Over the same time period Tyler's Hispanic population grew 55% to 20,511—the city's most significant demographic shift of the decade. These and numerous other insights can be gleaned from the Summary File 1 (SF1) census release, which was made available for Texas on Thursday.
The SF1 is what is most commonly thought of as the "big" census release. It contains very granular population counts summarized by race, family status, age, sex, housing status and a variety other subjects. This is the data that is commonly used by newspapers, city planners, and demographers to make informative maps, plan services, and project population trends, respectively. I've spent much of the last six months analyzing census data for my work at the Chicago Tribune, which last week culminated in the release of detailed maps of same-sex relationships and children less than five years old for the Chicagoland area.
Over the last few evenings I've taken advantage of my access to the embargoed census data to use these same techniques to prepare race map for Tyler and wider Smith County. Many thanks to my fellow news applications hackers for allowing me to recycle our source code for generating map tiles and presenting them online. Click the screenshot to view the map. (Then come back and keep reading!)
2010 Census: Racial diversity in Smith County
Tyler, like most American cities, is visibly segregated along racial lines. Blacks and Hispanics occupy the areas north and west of downtown, though those two groups are themselves more integrated than I would have expected. (Chicago's extreme segregation has hyper-sensitized me to trends such as these.) The eastern and southern parts of Tyler are predominantly white, though some areas are more racially integrated.
A few things to look for on the map:
- Dense clusters of mixed race frequently indicate group quarters, such as the Smith County jail, or student housing on the UT Tyler campus. Others mark apartment buildings and developments of townhouses.
- The racial trends continue beyond the city, with most Hispanics living to the north of the city and most whites living to the south.
- Whites are both more spread out and more populous in the rural areas of Smith County, accounting for over 62% of the county's total population (Tyler included).
- White residents particularly cluster in the lakefront communities around Lake Tyler and Saline Bay.
Though its less visible in the map it's also worth noting that the Asian population in Tyler spiked by over 125% to 1,807. Though this represents only 1.9% of Tyler's 2010 population it outpaces an already dramatic 71% surge in the total Asian population of Texas.
Want more census data? Be sure to check out the Texas Tribune's excellent statewide coverage. If you want even more detail, a good place to start is census.ire.org, a public project of Investigative Reporters and Editors created to make working with census data easier. Follow this link to jump straight to Tyler and a subset of tables that informed the map and this post.
If there is a particular aspect of Tyler's demography you're interested in, please leave a comment. There are many more maps to be made.
Hacking Tyler Transit
Why bus schedules? In my first post I named them at the top of my list of datasets I would like to build on. I also mentioned that I intended to avoid buying a car once I moved, a statement that provoked significant eye-rolling. I've been told that no one rides the bus in Tyler or that only poor people do. A fellow hacker who grew up Tyler told me he didn't even know they had a bus system. This isn't really a surprise—Tyler has low population-density (1,982 people per square mile, according to Wolfram Alpha) and a food desert in its urban core. I was stunned to discover that a transit system even existed. So why do I think its a good idea to digitize the bus schedule? Five reasons:
- I need it. Its not just that I don't want to drive. It's that I suck at driving. Having access to public transit is an immediately useful thing for me.
- Tyler has several colleges, but none of them even mention the bus system on their websites. If building this app means one student takes the bus instead of driving then it will be a success.
- It's easy. (Mostly, more on this below.)
- It's an excellent pilot project. The data is available (albeit in a terrible format) and the shape of the application I will build is relatively straightforward.
- Financial freedom, green living, world peace, etc.
The first thing I needed in order to build this app was to get data for routes, schedules and stop locations. The Tyler Transit agency publishes a route map as PDF, though it only includes a very small number of stops. They publish schedule data for weekdays and Saturdays as PDFs. These PDFs only include estimated arrival times for five stops per route, less than ten percent of the total number of stops. Stop location data isn't available anywhere online, so I emailed Tyler Transit and asked for a complete list. I requested an Excel document; they sent me a PDF of a scan of a printout of a web application.
I don't raise these data quality issues as an affront to Tyler Transit. Through my own experiences and those of my many friends in the open government community I've learned that this is the state of public data in much of the US. I want to help change that, but right now I'm not trying to open governments, I'm just trying to build a transit app, so I did what a pragmatic geek has to do sometimes:
I keyed them.
Lacking an obvious way to extract the data I needed from a scanned PDF I took two hours and re-keyed the spreadsheet. This also gave me the opportunity to correct numerous typos in street names that would have foiled any geocoder. The results:
Short version: Tyler has 236 bus stops serving virtually all significant public and private institutions, including both large colleges: UT Tyler and Tyler Junior College.
Using the route map, the street centerline GIS data available from Smith County, QGIS and a lot of patience I was able construct what is possibly the only digital map of Tyler's bus routes. I then geocoded the above bus stops list and put those over the top, yielding:
The black outline is the Tyler city limits, the thin gray lines are streets, and the thick colored lines are the bus routes. The bus icons are individuals stops.
Fun fact: A simple buffer computation on the stops will tell you that over 70% of all streets in the city of Tyler are within a half mile of a bus stop. (That's less than the distance I walk to and from the L every day.)
This is good progress, however, its far from perfect. The geocodes for the bus stops are not their actual location, but rather that of the next intersection following the stop. Worse, many of them didn't geocode at all, forcing me into an ardous process of trying to manually locate them using Google Maps and Google Street View. Even then I wasn't able to determine even an approximate location for some of the stops.
I have long-term plans for dealing with this and the other data quality issues. Better stop locations can be crowd-sourced by users. The arrival times present a more audacious challenge as I have to compute estimated times for all the stops which don't have times in the official timetable. Fortunately, the street centerline data provides me with both distance and speed limit, so I should be able to make sound estimates and fine-tune those with user feedback.
Though much of it was painfully manual, most of the required data preparation is done at this point and I'll can move on to prototyping the application. Interested coders can follow my progress at the hacktyler-transit repository on Github. Everyone else: speak your mind.
