5 Horrifying Details Hidden in Classic Children's Cartoons
Children's franchises like to put up a front that's all lollipops and rainbows, but scratch the surface and you find that those lollipops are produced by child slave labor, while all those rainbows are the offal resulting from a mass unicorn slaughter. All it takes is to look at these stories and characters through the cold, analytical eye of an adult with an enormous amount of spare time on his hands.
#5. The Care Bears Are a Cult of Mind Rapists
Via Losangelesstory
The Care Bears are definitive proof that the writers of '80s kids' shows were still stoned from the '60s and '70s. This 32-year-old franchise, originally developed for greeting cards, features messages about caring and love set against diabetic backdrops and contrasted with pants-shittingly terrifying villains. As with Dora the Explorer, the audience was frequently encouraged to interact with the screen, except that instead of solving puzzles, they were supposed to think positive thoughts at the TV. In the second feature-length movie, there was even a scene in which the audience beamed happy thoughts at the screen to help bring a dead character back to life. You know, just your standard '80s little girl cartoon slash necromancy primer.
Like most possessed children's toys, the Care Bears were on a mission: to ensure that children everywhere were developing into productive and happy members of society ... with specific emphasis on the "happy." Whenever a child was unhappy, misbehaving, or developing a bad habit, the Caring Meter alerted the bears, who would wait until the brat was alone and then magically appear to correct the error of her ways with a lecture and an unsatisfyingly maul-free bear hug.

"Which one of you fucking turds is sad?!"
The Atrocity:
First off, the Care Bears are surveying everything every single kid does, 24 hours a day. Look, we know it's the 21st century and we all traded away our personal privacy years ago, but unlike Facebook and its innocent goal of exposing your scat clown fetish to the world for the sake of a few advertising cents, the Care Bears want to forcibly mold your psyche to match their preconceived notions of how you should feel. And you have precisely zero personal choice in the matter. They're like Fuzzy Wuzzy, if instead of a bear Fuzzy Wuzzy was the Thought Police.
Nobody ever questions the Care Bears' authority to decide how individuals should feel or behave. And considering that the Care Bears alter not only bad habits, but also feelings that they consider bad, like sadness and worry -- otherwise known as essential elements of the human experience that help us grow as people -- the whole concept starts looking downright sinister.

"Everything you know is a lie. Join us ... join us ... join uussssss."
The strongest tool in their brainwashing arsenal is the Care Bear Stare, otherwise known as the "We can't call it mind rape because this is a kids' show." Whenever the Care Bears want something badly enough or don't approve of another person's attitude, they force complacency by shooting rainbows and sunshine out of their asses -- er, tummies, sorry -- and flooding the person's mind with love and happy thoughts. Sometimes it's justified, because the bad guys must be stopped (like with the scary uber-villains in the original series), but other times the bears' victims are just being grumpy or expressing their right to dissent. For example, here's a clip from the latest generation, in which the Care Bears use the Stare on a woman who chose to close her store too early:
There are exactly four villains in that clip, and the grumpy star-headed lady ain't one of them. The bears hardly even bothered to negotiate with her; they just skipped straight to the mind rape. If they decide you need a personality adjustment, they'll obviously think nothing of forcibly overpowering your free will to give you one. The whole thing is eerily similar to the cult practice of love bombing.
In fact, on closer inspection, everything about the Care Bears starts looking a whole lot more cult-like. The entire concept -- constantly monitoring the Earth's children and occasionally choosing the perfect one to love bomb until the kid loves them and agrees with everything they say -- works exactly the same way as cult indoctrination. All we can say is if a brightly colored bear with an abdominal tattoo ever offers you Kool-Aid, don't drink it.
"Please, just take my money! You can have anything you want!"
#4. Ariel from The Little Mermaid Permits the Ongoing Massacre of Her Subjects
Via Fanpop.com
The Little Mermaid is easily one of Disney's least controversial offerings. Sure, there's a potentially racist stereotype for a loveable sidekick, and Ariel's in for one terrifying wedding night when she realizes that Prince Eric isn't planning to fertilize her eggs externally, but all in all, this beloved tale is a relatively tame affair.
Via Disney.wikia.com
"Look at all that dick!"
That is, until you take a closer look at exactly why, according to the fishies, everything's better down where it's wetter ...
The Atrocity:
Under the sea, all the fish and crustaceans talk, have developed a highly complex civilization, and are afforded civil rights. Sure, they don't have quite the social status of the merpeople (they tend to fill the servant positions), but they aren't slaves or food. They're people. Now, you might think that we're going to talk about how horrifying it is that the humans in the movie eat these creatures ...
Cooking is hilarious!
... but how the hell were they supposed to know? They didn't know their dinner was performing a lavish musical number just hours before they threw it into a pot of boiling water. But you know who should have said something? Freaking Ariel.
Think about it -- she's known her whole life that the humans are massacring her father's subjects, but she still idolizes them. The first time she meets love interest Eric, he's out fishing, yet she's still all "Gosh, that guy who's trying to kill and eat everyone I know sure makes my urogenital tract feel tingly." She's like some kind of genocide groupie.
"The rot of a thousand of my kin taints this vessel."
But maybe that's all OK because, after all, it's supposed to be a story about how love conquers all. Once Ariel marries Eric, perhaps she uses her queenly clout and powers of political persuasion ("queenly clout" and "political persuasion" being her nicknames for what she's packing under those purple seashells) to convince him to stop murdering her friends and subjects.
Nope. In the sequel, land dwellers still hork down as much fish as they can jam in their gullets, and the French chef stereotype is still hard at work trying to serve up one of Ariel's best friends. He's even still employed by the castle, and there's a scene in which he tries his damnedest to brutally slaughter Sebastian while all the aristocrats laugh and laugh.
"Look at the funny little murderer, everyone! How droll!"
#3. Old Trains in Thomas & Friends Are Slowly Dismembered
Via Fanpop.com
Thomas & Friends, the wholesome book and television series about living trains, has been giving 4-year-old boys toygasms for better than half a century. Well, as we've mentioned before, not all is as it seems on the Island of Sodor: Thomas and the other trains exist in an odd master-slave state overseen by the iron fist of a top-hatted fat man. But when you look beyond the trains' toil-filled lives and start to think about what comes next, it begs yet another question:
Just what happens to a sentient train once it's outlived its usefulness? It's not a rhetorical question -- the books share the horrible truth with us.
Via Ttte.wikia.com
"Mommy, please don't make me watch Thomas & Friends anymore! I swear I'll be good!"
The Atrocity:
Sorry to break the news to you, kiddos, but even on the whimsical Island of Sodor, there's no such thing as choo-choo heaven. As seen in Stepney the "Bluebell" Engine, when a train in the Thomas universe gets old and worn out, it goes here:
Via Ttte.wikia.com
In Tim Burton's darkest nightmares.
That's the scrapyard, and as you can probably guess by the looks of utter dismay on those trains' faces (and also the fact that there's a dude getting ready to blowtorch one of them), the scrapyard is not a very pleasant place for a train to be. In fact, it's precisely what it sounds like: a place where the best the trains can hope for is to ever so slowly rust away, while the worst they can hope for is to have all of their still-useful parts gradually cannibalized so that other trains may live a bit longer.
As someone who knows far more about trains than we ever care to noted, the train on the right in the picture above "seems to be a LNWR 0-8-2 tank engine with its trailing wheels, bunker, and back end of its cab already cut off." We wonder, does a conscious train feel pain when you cut the back end of its cab off? So yeah, sending a train to the scrapyard is basically equivalent to sending Grandma away to the Meadow Springs Retirement Village and Organ Harvesting Clinic. And while that's disturbing enough on its own, where this railroad really takes a switch toward Nightmareville is when you squint a little closer at the background of that picture:
We resisted the urge to Photoshop a geyser of blood shooting out of that thing.
Not only has that locomotive been stripped down to a ravaged shell of its former self, but they've also taken its face. Just how does one recycle a train face, anyway? Do you simply slap it onto a new model as it rolls off the assembly line? And if so, is it like a reincarnation type deal, or are we talking more of a Gein-esque situation?
Have fun pondering that one the next time you spy a toddler playing with a Thomas the Tank Engine toy.
Via Ttte.wikia.com
Look at that soulless bastard on the right. That's not a scrapyard; it's train hell.

I am familiar with the Faraday Effect, but I remain confused as to why the electric and/or magnetic components of light do not naturally align themselves with a magnetic or electric field (in a vacuum) and thereby become polarized.
The Faraday effect is dispersive, so it is coherent and reversible. It tweaks the evolution of the light but doesn't cause "relaxation". In general, a system cannot reach a ground state, like becoming aligned to a magnetic field, without some sort of dissipation (e.g., absorption).
The linear algebra way to think about this is as follows: consider orthogonal states of light, such as $H$ and $V$ linear polarizations. After coherent evolution, they remain orthogonal, or else the evolution would not be reversible (given the final state, the initial state can be uniquely determined). This logic shows us the range of possible options for coherent evolution. The polarization can rotate (like the Faraday effect), it can go from linear to elliptical or circular (like a quarter waveplate), or it can undergo a mirror reflection (like a half waveplate). Of course, any combination of those options is also valid. But it can't align without ''losing information'', which would require a absorptive polarizer. (What I've just described is the $U(2)$ group of unitary matrices on $2\times 2$ complex vectors.)
Note: when I say "reversible", I mean coherent or unitary. I'm not referring to time reversal symmetry, which the Faraday effect breaks.
Edit If we're looking for a way for light to align to the magnetic field, we need the information on the original polarization of the light to be lost. The Faraday effect is off-resonant and cannot achieve that. One way to realize this is through dichroism, where one polarization (usually circular) of light is absorbed. This process is clearly not coherent/unitary because it erases the information on what the incoming polarization is. After absorption, with the right setup, the light can become aligned with the magnetic field. (I can give an explicit example with atoms, if you'd like.)
Sorry if this repeats my comment.
Light does become polarized in the presence of a magnetic field. That is how some 3-dimensional maps of the magnetic field lines above certain surface structures of the Sun are recovered, by means of observing the direction of polarization of light of a specific infra-red line, that arrives from the photosphere. I remember it was a paper in Nature by Krupp and Collados and others. It is a relatively recent technique (from the last decade, I think) because it was technically difficult to observe the polarization of light from the Sun until recently.
See this link for the paper (it is really a letter). A popular description of the technique can be found here.
I think the crux of the matter lies in your :
What does "align" mean other than an interaction?
So the question "do photons interact with an electric or magnetic field in vacuum"? has to be answered first before going into the details of the type of interaction.
The answer to this last is "yes, with very very small probability". It is called Delbruck scattering and has been experimentally observed.
It is a QED only effect, it does not exist in classical electromagnetic theory and the measurements are used as an experimental confirmation of QED. It is evidence of vacuum polarization in the strong electric fields of nuclei.
So the photons do interact with the fields through higher order QED diagrams, and not simple higher order, the lowest order allowed is sixth order, which makes this interaction very improbable. It is small in the strong fields around nuclei, it is infinitesimal in the distant coherent fields of atoms, which is what an electric or magnetic field is in vacuum. To have any fields you need the electric and magnetic sources of atoms.
The "infinitesimally low probability of interaction" is what negates the "natural" in your question. A beam of photons does not align its electric or magnetic field to the direction of electric and magnetic fields in vacuum because the interaction probability is practically non existent.
@QuantumDot You seem to be close to the answer to this question. Neither the electromagnetic field Lagrangian nor the gauge theories of fundamental interactions include interactions between photons and electric or magnetic fields. An electric or magnetic field, on their own, represent very low energy photons. To say that a photon interacts with a magnetic or an electric field would suggest that photons interact among themselves. Photon-photon interactions are possible via two fermion 'square' loops, like e- e+ for example. Furthermore photons have neither electric nor magnetic dipole moment. Hence your suggestion that photons pass through an electric or magnetic field undisturbed is right. I have increased your comment by 1.
I think, from a viewpoint of photonics, light, or photon, can only interact through charge and gravity. View light as bosonic vibration of space-time. Charge is the source for such vibrations and responsible for scattering, absorption as well. Gravity affect light because gravity is the curvature of space-time itself.
From a pure wave picture, any effect of light is tracked down to the effect of wave-interference: The scattering is the wave generated by dipoles inside matter excited by incident wave; absorption is simply the scattered wave out of phase with respect to incident one, nonlinearity is anharmonic scattering, etc, etc. Wave themselves simply add up by principle of interference without changing each other's internal property. Polarization is such a property. Hence light add up with another light will not change either's polarization, although they may form a standing wave or beat.
Light does become polarized in a magnetic field. The magnetic field of a black hole was detected due to the polarization of light. Check this article: http://www.iflscience.com/space/black-holes-powerful-magnetic-field-observed-first-time

I had nice discussions with Leonid and Rojo that got me interested in tail recursion. Tail recursion is not always easy to realize with Mathematica, so it would be nice to have some tools to help with this. The question is the title: What tools can help in realizing tail recursion?
For issues with CompoundExpression, I refer to my answer here
In this answer, I define a function called wrapper, acting as a replacement for CompoundExpression. Also follow this link for a nice answer on tail recursion by Leonid.
I have also made a function that can make algorithms in which Times occurs tail recursive, or rather, make tail recursive implementations possible. The function jTimes below is intended to replace Times in such cases. Note, however, that this is a work in progress. Naively combining the function below with its analog for Plus will not yield a tail recursion.
jTimes is defined as follows.
Then if we set
We have
-> {True, 0.026255, 0.000311}
The timing is just an indication of the speed, I compare it with the timing of 5000! only to be fair, as our recursive formula is simply not the most efficient way to calculate a large factorial. Note that we do not reach
Note that if we need to multiply more than two things, we can just let the rest of the arguments be handled by Times as follows.
The reason we can do this without a problem is that normally most work in expression like jTimes[Times[n,n],f[1000]] will be in calculating f[1000]. jTimes puts emphasis on its last argument, evaluating this as late as possible.
Note that jTimes does not handle more than two arguments. With this in mind, the following function may be a little more user friendly, though in the case of two arguments it must be slower. I will probably make a function that refers to either jTimes or jTimesMultiple below, based on the number of arguments provided. But note again that the function below is really not necessary if you know about the trick above. jTimesMultiple is defined as follows.
We then have, for
( -> True)
Combination with wrapper
Notice that wrapper is the function that solves some issues with CompoundExpression in the answer I mentioned above. It is defined as follows
Then, if we set
We have
(-> True)
More tools: If and With
Note that If works great with tail recursion. Setting
We have
(-> True)
We could do the same thing with With.
I suppose there is nothing stopping us from doing exactly the same for plus. And probably many other functions. I may make a nice piece of code emphasizing the similarities between the code for Plus and that for Times.
About how jTimes works
Of course jTimes should evaluate to something. But it is a bit of an issue to let for example f[1000] evaluate to jTimes[a,b] and then stop evaluation there. The reason we want to stop evaluating jTimes[a,b] is that we will have something like jTimes[c,jTimes[a,b]] on "the stack" and if evaluation of jTimes[a,b] leads to another nested jTimes etc, our stack explodes. The trick I used to stop this is to use Block, to make Mathematica forget the definition attached to jTimes for a while. The evaluation stops and we can return to a function that is "higher up" on the stack to massage our expression.
Note that it is necessary to give jTimes the attribute a second time when it is considered local. That was confusing to me.
I have tried to make my function evaluate like Times in case of tricky input like
With these definitions, the following gives
-> {285311670611, 11} -> {285311670611, 11}
The function jTimes seems to be a bit of a beast, using some (possibly) unconventional techniques. Possibly there are much more elegant ways of doing things. Any feedback is welcome :).
The idea: using continuations
I was preparing my answer when I saw the one by Mr.Wizard, which turns out to be a special case of what I am to offer (and which is generally a common trick that many of us used many times for some recursive problems). I still decided to post it however, since I believe it adds some value. What I will describe here is a version of the transformation to the so-called continuation-passing style, albeit limited in certain ways. The basic requirement of the recursive function would be to have a separate rule for the base case, and only a single call to itself inside its body.
The idea will be to make the function accept a second argument, which will be a so-called continuation - a function that encodes the rest of the program's execution. The recursive function will build the continuation as it proceeeds, and then the continuation will effectively unwind the stack.
The implementation
Without further ado, here is the code-generating macro to perform such a conversion:
The code of this macro is quite involved, and uses a nested injector pattern, but what it does is simple to describe. It parses the definition-to-be-made, and hunts for calls of
we now have
which is the essence of the CPS transformation in this case.
Fixing some speed problems
As discovered by Mr.Wizard, the above version can be quite slow for large number of iterations (deep recursion). I analyzed this and found that the culrpit is
The way out is to have our own version of
With this one, my version of Mr.Wizard's benchmarks, on my system:
So, we have a factor of 2 here, more or less as I predicted. And this is for computationally not very intensive
Building a simple linked list
The first example is a simple one, concerned with recursive building of linked list. Very natural application, isn't it? Here is a toy function:
We can test it:
However, it is not tail-recursive:
Now, we use
We can test that the simple case is fine:
but we also have no problem with a general case:
It makes sense to inspect the actual definitions for
Recursive addition
Here is the recursive addition function:
Now, its true definitions are
and again, no problem with
Recusrive select
I will take this example from here, and modify it so that it satisfies our requirement to have a separate base case:
and the function proper:
Note that
However, it is not tail-recursive:
We will now perform our magic:
and now:
Note that we only wrapped
These definitions allow one to understand what really happens when the function is called.
Remarks and limitations
While it is interesting to see how continuations can help us here, one thing to note is that this method won't be very efficient. It will likely be a constant factor of 2 to 10 slower than hand-tuned tail-recursive functions. The value of this construct seems to be more in the concept it illustrates, and the generality of the approach.
It is also important to note that the result of this transformation can be not innocent if the body of the function contains mutable code, since the order of evaluation here will generally change.
Finally, it is not clear to me yet whether the procedure I described above can be called a real use of continuations or using trampolines. Likely the latter (with
As a point of reference it's not hard to make
Well, here's a new idea. I've put it here mainly to discuss it. It is not really practical yet. I really should have played with Leonids function first, but I couldn't resist making this function.
This approach requires the user to put the symbol
The code below defines my newest version of initializer, that is specific for the case where we have only one recursive call.
Now, setting
We have
-> {True, 0.191861, 0.027366}
If we use a version that automatically clears and later sets the attributes Flat and Orderless of Plus and Times, the result is
-> {True, 0.166841, 0.027617}
If I can say so myself, it is pretty magical :). But it is a factor 7 slower, so experienced users may want to keep doing their own recursions. In the section below, all the ideas that go into this function are touched.
Note that I may have been wrong in thinking that ReplaceRepeated would make things faster. Especially, consider the following
-> {True, 0.029521, 0.027656}
Note that this works for quite a lot of functions. For example, if we set
We have
-> {{0.218156, 3.633367163547326*10^16329}, 5000}
Older, more stabile version
Below is an older version. The idea is more evident here. We block evaluation with some symbol and have a function at the top of our expression, in this case evaluator, to massage it. We let Mathematica get rid of Times and Plus(es) on the stack using Expand. Of course, this use of Expand makes this a specific solution for cases where Times and Plus are used in a recursive definition. However, note that other regular evaluations are also made, in fact I added Expand later as I thought Mathematica would simplify expressions like
We define initializer and evaluator as follows
Now, setting
We have
-> {True, 0.027325, 0.253952, 1.149446653811488*10^16326}
So this approach is 10 times slower than necessary.
I've also tried to make a version where multiple tokens can be provided, but it doesn't work yet. I have also made a version which first checks if at the specified position we do indeed have a token, and if not, it finds it using position.
Note that this also solves the problem for CompoundExpression. Setting
We find
-> {{0.296686, 1.149446653811488*10^16326}, 5000}
Note that in this way, this approach may still have additional value, despite Leonids fantastic answer. Leonids answer does not seem to handle CompoundExpression well. If we set, using Leonids definitions
We have
-> {False, True}
Where a1 is the correct answer, so that indeed Leonids method fails and the method describes here evaluates to the desired result.
I guess this may be a strong candidate, especially if we can make a nice assignment operator that keeps track of which rules generate new tokens. Maybe it would then be nice to generate warnings if certain functions are used in the recursive definition handled by our new assignment operator. Of course things like
Are impossible to handle in this way, but then again, this example is really useless anyway and will reach $RecursionLimit because of nested Lists.
So.. again, feedback is welcome!

sencha app build: classes out of order
I may be doing something wrong, but I took one of my larger projects from Sencha Architect and attempted to restructure it so i could use Cmd. I got the app folder generated, moved in the code from SA, refreshed the bootstrap and then ran sencha app build. The all-classes.js file has Ext.data.ResultSet defined before Ext. It looks like all of the app code is accounted for. Is there something that I am doing wrong?
23 Sep 2012 10:59 AM #2
Ok, I got past the issue.... seems if I use compile instead of app build and I exclude Ext.draw then the issue doesn't happen. It also seems like I have a lot of stuff in the compressed application I don't need. I am going to work on cleaning it up now that I found a way to get around the issue.
Is there some way I can use the app build command and not run into that issue?
23 Sep 2012 1:26 PM #3
This is being caused by a know issue with the compiler failing to detect dependencies on the core class system for classes that do not extend any base class. It has been resolved recently, and we hope to have a refresh build available soon with the fix.
As a workaround until then, however, you should be able to add the following comment directive at the top of ResultSet.js in the ext/src directory for this application:
//@require @foundation
23 Sep 2012 3:41 PM #4
Great. Thanks for the reply.
25 Sep 2012 1:28 PM #5

Enforcing such instructions and deciding what to do when a juror does not follow them or what to do with a trial that is tainted because of the same, is the real daunting task. One thing is clear, courts across the country are moving towards banning all electronic communications from the jury. For example, in late January this year, the Judicial Conference released to the federal judiciary a model jury instruction which has been coined the "Twitter instruction" that states: "You may not communicate with anyone about the case on your cell phone, through e-mail, Blackberry, iPhone, text messaging, or on Twitter, through any blog or website, through any internet chat room, or by way of any other social networking websites, including Facebook, My Space, LinkedIn and YouTube." There are no nationwide jury instructions for state courts. Each state adopts its own set of jury instructions. On September 1, 2009, the Michigan Supreme Court imposed a new rule that will require all judges to instruct jurors that use of any handheld device such as iPhones or Blackberrys while in the jury box or during deliberations is impermissible. As follows, when such devices are banned, communications such as tweets on Twitter, Google searches, Facebooking and text messages by jurors during trial will come to a halt for Michigan jurors and those jurors in jurisdictions with similar instructions. Michigan's new rule arrives in the wake of an influx of recent cases in which jurors have blogged, posted Tweets, sent text messages or updated their Facebook during trials, resulting in the dismissal of jurors, mistrials and angry judges. These results will keep the courts busy creating law for years to come. Specifically, when these mishaps occur should a mistrial be granted? Should the offending juror be excluded? To date, courts have really gone either way with these issues. For example, in March 2009, during a Florida drug trial it was discovered that nine jurors were ignoring the judge's instructions and conducting Google research on the defendant, checking legal terms and uncovering evidence that was excluded at trial. The result, the judge declared a mistrial. Further, in Florida, a Miami-Dade Court Judge declared a mistrial in May 2009 in a civil fraud case after a company executive witness texted his superior on the stand during a side bar conference. In contrast, in Pennsylvania, a mistrial was not declared although called for, when a juror was discovered tweeting and publishing trial updates on Facebook in the prosecution of a former Pennsylvania state senator convicted of graft. In Arkansas, a judge in April 2009 ruled that there was no mistrial when a juror's Twitter posting stated, "just gave away TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS of somebody else's money." The judge upheld the $12.6 million dollar verdict finding that the tweets were not improper although done in poor taste. Jurors are supposed to deliberate cases based on evidence presented at trial in the courtroom and not based on independent research via the web. Those rules are clear. However, how far can a juror go and what standard will the courts use to determine when a juror has gone so far as to taint the whole process. This has yet to be developed into a consistent body of law and this new area of law is ripe for development.

I've been playing with mod_security for some time and I'd like somehow to use it in my master thesis. I don't know exactly how this work could be more interesting than describing what mod_security does, what kind of web attacks can be prevented using it, what are other functions of it (like analysing if the requests are really HTTP, analysing XML). I'd rather not focus on this particular tool, but create some system that would secure for example some specific kinds of websites. What could make it more reaserch-like? Any hints please?
Maybe look into creating or applying advanced analytics to web application activity to profile users for the purpose of identifying potential bad activity. Build on top of what ModSecurity outputs and test algorithms/models that make it easier for a security operations team to quickly understand what activity a particular user is doing and why it may be hostile (talking beyond reporting simple atomic events).
Do an amazon search for "machine learning security" or "data mining security" and find books, for example, like Statistical Techniques for Network Security: Modern Statistically-Based Intrusion Detection and Protection http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159904708X/ref=wms_ohs_product and research which techniques described in those books may advance web application security. There seems to be a near infinite way to mix and match algorithms - your research could result in new ways to combine existing algorithms to produce better results.
Reading Robert Hansen's blog entry on web log forensics may spawn additional ideas: http://ha.ckers.org/blog/20100613/web-server-log-forensics-app-wanted/
If you've not looked at it already the OWASP Modsecurity Core Ruleset Project, has some interesting work being done on Modsecurity.
Maybe, instead of only looking at what it does and what it prevents, consider taking a look at what it does not do, and what it cannot prevent.
Start by reading through the academic literature in this area, to understand the work that has been done so far and where the state-of-the-art stands. You might start by looking through the proceedings of RAID, DIMVA, and Usenix Security to find papers that sound relevant to your interest. Read those papers, the papers they cite (if they sound relevant), and the papers that cite them (if they sound relevant; Google Scholar and Citeseer are your friend, to help you find what cites what). That should give you a good sense for where the gaps in the state-of-the-art are.
Also, I recommend that you talk this over with your research advisor. It is your advisor's job to help you select a master's project that will advance the state of the art and that is in your rough area of interest.

Everybody loves a good rumor. Already today you've probably passed on some juicy bit of information you heard, without first rigorously tracking down its source. Who cares, right?
But sometimes, a tiny scrap of bullshit can result in fortunes lost... and sometimes much, much worse.
#7. The Five-Billion Dollar Steve Jobs Rumor
The Rumor:
Apple CEO Steve Jobs had a heart attack!
The Damage:
As soon as word hit the internet that Jobs had been rushed to the hospital with a failing heart, this happened to Apple stock:
In the first hour of trading the stock lost 10% of its value ($4.8 billion motherfucking dollars), spurred by panicked investors who apparently believe that Apple Computer Inc. is made up entirely of Steve Jobs working alone in his garage.
How It Got Started:
A teenager and a keyboard.
Authorities say the whole thing was just some random 18-year-old posting the rumor to CNN's iReport website, which boasts at the top of its page, "... The stories submitted by users are not edited, fact-checked or screened before they post."
Man, how could they have known anything would go wrong with that?
#6. Corona Tastes Like Piss for a Reason
The Rumor:
Corona beer literally has urine in it!
The Damage:
In 1987, Corona was the number two selling imported beer in America, when this nasty rumor started. Sales plummeted, and didn't recover until years later.
How It Got Started:
Everybody's heard someone use the expression "This beer tastes like piss!" or, if the beer isn't cold enough, "This beer tastes like warm piss!" or, if the beer is Corona, "This beer tastes like warm piss that also has a lime in it!" (There are several variations.) Maybe it's the fact that Corona is yellow, frothy and comes in a clear bottle, or maybe because some Americans still distrust anything brewed in Mexico, in 1987 when someone said "Corona IS piss!", people believed it.
Snopes says the rumor was started by a rival distributor of Heineken. Before it was over, the public had added bullshit confessions by the piss contaminators (written in Spanish) and vague references to either a 60 minute or 20/20 report, neither of which exist. What is more, the collective American bullshit hive-brain estimated that the urine content of Corona ranged from 2 to 20 percent.
It's actually a fairly complex process.
A few disgruntled workers couldn't achieve that level of urine concentration. The implication is that the American public believed that Corona hired professional pissers whose sole job was to drink lots of water and urinate into their product. It is unclear what the purpose of this would have been. It is also unclear whether they would top-up bottles on the conveyor belt, or pee as a group into a large vat, dramatically throwing their ponchos over their shoulders before letting loose.
#5. Does This Banana Taste Like SARS To You?
The Rumor:
Bananas give you SARS!
The Damage:
In China, the banana market utterly collapsed after a bizarre rumor made the rounds that the fruit was giving people SARS somehow. Banana prices plummeted 90%, bankrupting growers.
How It Got Started:
China, like the rest of the world, has gotten addicted to affordable text-messaging. One side effect is it's allowing rumors to spread like wildfire.
Keep in mind, getting reliable information in a totalitarian state like China can be tough. When a pandemic hits, the government can keep a lid on things until they finally get out of control (like SARS, for instance). Texting has allowed a black market for news that circumvents government control but, as we have found out, rumor mills like to fill information voids with bullshit.
So, some random dude punches in "BANANAS GIVE YOU SARS PLZ FORWARD" with his thumbs and, a few million forwarded messages later, some very unhappy farmers are sitting on a shitload of rotting bananas.
#4. Procter & Gamble & Lucifer
The Rumor:
When you buy Procter & Gamble products, you're supporting Satan worship!
The Damage:
If you were feeling superior to the primitive Chinese up there, here's one right from the enlightened west. For years calls for a Procter & Gamble boycott circulated in the US, claiming the company had ties to the Church of Satan.
The exact loss of revenue to the company is unclear, but in March 2007, Procter & Gamble was awarded $19 million in damages, finally winning a lawsuit against people who were spreading the rumors.
How It Got Started:
This rumor has lived on for several decades, in the form of chain mail and then chain e-mails saying:
"The President of Procter & Gamble appeared on the Phil Donahue Show on March 1, 1994. He announced that due to the openness of our society, he was coming out of the closet about his association with the church of Satan... When asked by Donahue if stating this on t.v. would hurt his business, he replied, 'THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH CHRISTIANS IN THE UNITED STATES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.'"
It goes on to claim that "a large portion" of Procter & Gamble's profits were going to support the Church of Satan (which must have raised some questions with shareholders) though it also spread the crazy around to other companies:
Obviously, those supposed admissions on national television never happened. Though, since Procter & Gamble does $84 billion a year in revenue, if they were sending most of their profit Satan's way it's safe to say the dark lord would be able to pay to keep us quiet about it.

Panthers blank New Berlin West, 49-0
Greendale picked up its first victory of the year in impressive fashion with a 49-0 rout of New Berlin West on Friday night.
Greendale fired on all cylinders as quarterback Sam Brick completed 11 of 12 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns and junior running back Mike Scheidt scampered for 142 yards and two scores on 16 carries.
Falcons tip Cudahy in wild game
After allowing a touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter, the Whitnall defense slammed the door on Cudahy on the Packers' final three possessions to earn a 36-35 victory Friday night.
Whitnall senior quarterback Luke Mentowski earned his first victory as a starting signal caller, putting four interceptions behind him to throw for three touchdowns and run for another.
Angel Rameriz, a freshman making his first start at quarterback for Cudahy, threw for three touchdowns himself.
Franklin stages statement-making shutout
For the Franklin football team, two is better than one.
The quarterback platoon of Zach Eder and Ben Miller kept Marquette's defense off-balance throughout the second half as Franklin upset the second-ranked Hilltoppers Friday night at Franklin High School, 16-0.
With both players taking turns running the offense from the shotgun, Eder's consistently accurate throws and Miller's chains-moving runs behind Franklin's aggressive offensive line proved too much for the Hilltoppers to handle.
"I still stay in the game emotionally," Eder said when asked if it was difficult to find a rhythm while coming in and out of the game. "I'm cheering my teammates on, and the O-line just did an amazing job, allowing the running backs to pile it up."
Eder was 7 for 12 passing, with five of his seven completions resulting in first downs or touchdowns. Miller ran for 73 yards on 19 carries from both tailback and quarterback.» Read Full Article
Greendale crushes New Berlin West

Meichtry sparks Lancers comeback over Oak Creek
Brookfield Central rallied to beat Oak Creek, 24-14, Friday night on the road and quarterback Jason Meichtry bounced back from a tough opening game.
Trailing 14-10 after the Knight's Lincoln Wylie raced 49-yards down the left sideline for a touchdown with 1:27 left in the third quarter, the Lancers bounced back with two fourth quarter touchdowns for the win.
Meichtry and running back Charlie O'Dwyer led the way as Central went 52-yards in 11 plays after the Knights scored.
Key plays in the drive were Meichtry rolling left and hitting a sliding O'Dwyer for a first down on third and five at mid-field.
A 14-yard run by O'Dwyer, gave Central a first and 10 at the 20.» Read Full Article

South Milwaukee Walmart plan back in play
Plans for a combined Walmart discount store and supermarket in South Milwaukee are back in play, with the developer and a landowner working to resolve issues that had delayed the proposal.
Gatlin Development Co., which would build the store and lease it to Walmart, again has a pending purchase contract for a 6.5-acre site that would help accommodate the store, Walmart spokeswoman Lisa Nelson said Monday morning.
That land, owned by an investment group affiliated with Briohn Building Co., would be combined with 3.5 acres owned by the city. The proposed site is west of Chicago Ave., one block south of College Ave.
I reported in June that the project was on hold because of environmental cleanup costs tied to Briohn's parcel. Gatlin at that time allowed its purchase contract to lapse.
However, Nelson told me Walmart and Gatlin are now working to resolve those issues, and plan to submit a formal proposal to city officials by the end of September. She didn't have any further details, and I haven't yet reached Frank Gatlin of Gatlin Development.» Read Full Article
Davis era at Germantown begins with rout
Certainly new Germantown football coach Jake Davis will sleep a lot more easily this evening.
For after not getting a wink the night before his first game at the Warhawk helm, the team went out and rewarded his hard work with a through, almost immaculate 56-0 rout of Whitnall on parents' night Friday.
"I got a couple of hours this morning but that was about it," Davis chuckled afterward. "Just too much on the mind."
The players labored hard to ease their new coach's mind.
"No, no," said senior quarterback Josh Mongan, who was eight of 11 this night for 139 yards and two TDs. "You never want to start a new coach on a bad note. It felt great. We needed to get it done right for him (Davis)."» Read Full Article
Turnovers guide Franklin past Greendale
Visiting Franklin capitalized on three Greendale turnovers, including a fumble that senior linebacker Nate McCarthy returned 21 yards for a touchdown, to earn a 17-10 victory Friday in the 2011 season opener.
Greendale running back Mike Scheidt broke outside and raced down the left sideline for a 55-yard touchdown to pull the Panthers within seven, but the Sabers prevailed after four straight Greendale incompletions from their own 27-yard-line.

Better Business Bureau warns of asphalt scammers
An asphalt paving contractor is using a false Oak Creek address and apparently scamming homeowners, according to a warning from Wisconsin's Better Business Bureau.
According to the warning, representatives of the James Joles Asphalt Paving have approached homeowners with cut-rate prices for "extra" asphalt leftover from other jobs.
The BBB stated customer complaints ranged from bad workmanship to damaged property. Money is required before the work.
To top it off, the address listed by the company, 6508 S. 27th St., Suite 9, #116, is the site of a UPS store that has nothing to do with the asphalt company.
"Unfortunately, we this type of scam arise every year when the weather warms up," said Ran Hoth, Wisconsin BBB president. "Their work is shoddy and customers can't reach them after they finish the job.» Read Full Article
Southridge Boston Store TIF to get Aug. 15 public hearing
A tax incremental financing district designed to support the renovation of the Southridge Mall Boston Store will get a public hearing before the Greendale Plan Commission at 7 p.m. Aug. 15 in the Village Hall Board Room, 6500 Northway.
Focused on a $2 million developer incentive with possible additional support through public works improvement, the village's third TIF district within the past year would enhance Boston Store's commitment to renovate its store.
In spring of 2010, Greendale established TIF District 1 for construction of a $17 million, 90-unit senior housing complex just south of Southridge and last October established TIF District 2 to support a $52 million renovation of Southridge as part of the mall's plan to bring in a new Macy's department store in 2012.

In which cases should I use the subjunctive mood?
I suggest that every applicant fill out the form carefully.
If she were rich, she would live on Long Island.
In which cases should I use the subjunctive mood?
What is called the "subjunctive" or the "present subjunctive" is in fact just a simple untensed variant of normally tensed that-complement clauses.
Unlike real subjunctive systems in languages like German or Spanish, this construction appears
Complement clauses are governed by their predicates. Which predicate you use controls what kind(s) of complement can be used with it, or whether it can have a complement at all. With impositive predicates (see lists below), that-complements must have a subject noun phrase (i.e, the subject NP can't be deleted), but in these that-clauses the verb form is infinitive, not present or past; i.e, the verb does not agree with its subject NP.
Since this construction is governed by the predicates it can occur with, and the predicates are all impositive -- i.e, they are predicates indicating that the speaker is imposing their will on the addressee -- the construction is associated with that concept, and traditionally "subjunctive" verbs were sposta "express" this "mandative" notion. Actually, of course, that's expressed by the predicate, and only emphasized by the use of this construction with it.
There are four patterns, with four different kinds of complement-taking impositive predicates:
There are other predicates, but if one learns these lists, one comes to recognize the semantic characteristics of impositive predicates, and thus to decide whether to use this construction with them, or others, or not. That's it for the "present subjunctive".
The "past subjunctive" -- which I will not deal with here -- is a different set of constructions altogether, completely distinct from the "present subjunctive" constructions, expressing nothing like their sense, and behaving in completely different ways.
The reason why they're both called "subjunctive" is because Latin had a subjunctive mood that was used in many ways, and these constructions reminded classically-educated grammarians of certain uses of the Latin subjunctive mood.
But in English they're just a couple more mildly idiomatic constructions, out of thousands. That's why obsessing about the English "subjunctive mood" is a waste of time and effort, and always ends up in confusion.
In general, the subjunctive mood should be used in "a statement contrary to fact, a wish, a mandative statement" (from this guide). I think "statement contrary to fact" could also often be considered a hypothetical, so I will refer to it as that.
In your first example, you are expressing a wish or possibly a mandative statement, "I suggest" and so it follows with a subjunctive: "every applicant fill".
In your second example, you have constructed a hypothetical, thus you use the subjunctive mood ("she were"). When you see "if" or "whether" used in a hypothetical way, it is a good bet that you want to use the subjunctive mood.
And another example:
Then we are using the subjunctive mood ("you be") because this is a mandative statement (note that the imperative is something else, grammatically).
In any discussion of the subjunctive mood in English, it is worth noting that this particular grammatical construction is often morphologically identical to the normal indicative, showing up only with "be" and in constructions involving third person (historically, this was not the case). Perhaps as a result, the subjunctive mood as something with overt morphological markings is disappearing from English. (That is not to say that the subjunctive mood would cease to exist if the distinguishing morphology disappeared — it would still be there whether it looks different from other constructions or not.)
Because the overt subjunctive is disappearing, you often see it looking like normal past tense: "if I was ten years younger". At the moment, this remains nonstandard, but common.
Well, the above answer is very close. I mean, to be all honest, the subjunctive isn't dead in Modern English. You probably say it all of the time and don't know it. Technically, in all honesty, when one says something like, "If he only knew what I had done, he would kill me", the verb "knew" in "he knew" is technically 3rd person singular past subjunctive of the verb "to know", but it looks the same as the past indicative in Modern English. Another example:
"If I had had more time, I would have done it."
The above "I had had" is the past perfect subjunctive, but it looks just like the past perfect indicative so the subjunctive is there; its just hard to see these days. Although, if one were to say (future subjunctive) something like, "If I were king of England, I would cut taxes", he would be using a subjunctive conjugation with a morphological inflection that differs from the past indicative "I was".
Technically, we used to use the morphological present subjunctive in Modern English after conjunctions like "if, whether, unless, until, before, although, though, lest, etc.", but, nowadays, this is rarely seen or heard and many consider it pretentious to use it, but it's still correct. Here's an example:
"If music be the food of love, play on." (Shakespeare)
We can see this in "if truth be told", "whether it be", "until death do us part", and so on wherein the verb is in the subjunctive form. These above statement are still said in English. Below, I shall show the indicative/subjunctive conjugations in English for the verbs "to be" and "to speak":
Present Ind./Subj. He is/He be He speaks/He speak
Past Ind./Subj. He was/He were He spoke/He spoke
Future Ind./Subj. He will be/He were to be He will speak/He were to speak
Past Perfect Ind./Subj. He had been/He had been He had spoken/He had spoken
Present Perfect Ind./Subj. He has been/He have been He has spoken/He have spoken
There are more conjugations, but these are the most common ones. I'm not going to go into how to use them in detail per se because that has already been shown to you in the original answer. Here are the conjugations, though. I hope this might help.
I'll just quote the Encarta encyclopedia, since I believe the rule it mentions is different from what the answers mention.
Specifically, note the part that says "however remote", which I did not seem to see in the other answers. (This is different from how the subjunctive is used in languages such as French, where it is merely used to express doubt.)

The first time Derrick Barnes laid eyes on the woman he would later marry, he couldn't have drawn a more perfect picture. From Kansas City, Missouri, he went off to Jackson State University in Mississippi with goals of a marketing degree and "maybe, just maybe I'd fall in love with one of those thick, thick, super-thick country girls," he recalls his Freshmen thoughts.
Tinka Anne Wells, born in Southern California, is by no means "country." When she met Derrick, she was heartbroken from a past relationship and just wanted to focus on getting her Biology degree. But just when a girl wants to be left alone, the future father of her children walks up.
Derrick, determined to meet her, coerced one of her friends to introduce them, "…the one with the gap in her teeth and the big afro…the chocolate one." Tinka had no desire. Her friend urged her: "Come on Tinka! Just meet him. You don't have to marry him!"
"Let me explain, Derrick was the poet on the yard, with the overalls, choker, [no drawers] … that dude!" Tinka laughs as she recalls her husbands college days. Obviously quite confident, he made her feel the same way. "This is the thing, Derrick made me comfortable being me. He loved all of me. And I liked him because he always looked me right in the eye. He was always sincere," she says.
Tinka has been a West African/Caribbean dancer for 12 years. Wearing an afro for most of that time, she decided to lock up or, grow dreadlocks. Her dance teacher, however, disapproved of the idea— which made Tinka question it herself. She consulted Derrick. "He looked at me and said, without hesitation, 'You can shave it all off, Tink, I love whatever.'"
While they were dating, she entered the venue where Derrick was in the lineup at a poetry reading. He was already on stage on the mic when she got there. He saw her come in and he hit her with surefire way to get a girl in and of the 90's to love you forever: 'My lady just walked through the door and I'm gonna spit this freestyle...' On that beat, Tinka was inspired to start writing poetry and Derrick fancies himself her muse into "cool". "I hipped her to jazz, poetry and I'm still teaching her Hip Hop 101!" he boasts.
After Tinka graduated from JSU, she attended medical school at the University of Kansas. Derrick graduated with his Marketing degree and moved back to Kansas City. In 1999 he was hired at Hallmark Cards making him their first black male copywriter.

In 2001, they married and Derrick and Tinka Barnes had their first son, Ezra.
"I'd never seen a father growing up so I didn't have an example. My mom did it all. All my friends were in single parent homes. So everything was really new to me, being a dad and a husband," he says.
They moved to New Orleans in 2003 for Tinka to begin her residency at LSU. Their second son Solomon, whom Derrick calls their "dirty South baby," was born in 2004.
Together in 2005, this foursome went through the Great American Ordeal – Hurricane Katrina. Affected and relocated by the catastrophe, Tinka recalls with a sighful, "Lord have mercy…And we wouldn't be here if wasn't for that". Young parents focused on their goals, they had no idea of the detriment. "I was studying for the boards and Derrick was writing his book, we were paying no attention to the TV," Tinka says. There was obviously a bad storm, but they didn't know until they saw super dome being occupied that they had to evacuate. By the time they turned the TV on, the second levee had broken. "Seeing all these brothers and sisters piled up like that, I knew it wasn't going to end well."
Tinka continues, "We didn't have much gas and all of the gas in the city was gone. We had to get out of New Orleans and we had less than a half tank of gas. Derrick is diabetic and his insulin was running low. On top of that, it was Ezra's birthday…I happened to have a cake and brought it with us." #momsrock.
Derrick took $200 out of the ATM and they went to a hotel for safety. Before things got worse, they had the minds to charge their cell phones.
"After all the lights in the hotel went out, they said we had to go. We didn't know where to go." Tinka admits that she did not know if they would make it, but her fear didn't trump her faith. "I believe in the power of prayer, and I was praying! My momma was praying. My sister was praying."
They ended up in a 'one-horse town' called Bulkie, Louisiana where Tinka's uncle was waiting for them on the road, like the liaison to their new life.
The family has returned to Kansas City and rebuilt their lives. They purchased a five-bedroom house in 2011. Derrick Barnes is

Do any animals become psychologically attached to any non-living object that is not useful to the animal for any of its physical needs, like some children do to stuffed animals? Some children are so attached to their toys that they take them with them whenever possible, and are upset when the toy goes missing or is taken by another.
So, this is psychological attachment. From the question alone, I thought of physical attachment.
If you provide stuffed animals and human children, then I'd offer the television remote, a chair/sofa and the cellphone for human adults. In general, many adults are far too sedentary for their own health.
Some non-human primates have exhibited behavior similar to that which you describe with the stuffed animals-children example.
In terms of an inanimate object, you can add the Internet. Certain behaviors like over-indulgence in alcohol, sex, gambling, hand-washing, and the like, could, broadly speaking, fit within the question as posed.

Fall weather a time for active fishing
|On a recent excursion to fish Otter Creek in Vermont, my son Justin and I got a great day of exercise trying to keep up with guide John Synnott of Stream and Brook Fly Fishing. (Tim Jones photo)
Utterly ridiculous. I've been a hunter and a fisherman all my life. Many of the longest, most enjoyable hikes or paddling excursions I've ever taken have been while fishing. I began biking seriously, in large part, to reach more distant trout streams before I could drive. I imagine many of you are the same.
Now fishing can get pretty sedentary. Sitting in a lawn chair beside a pond and watching a bobber float on the surface, or sitting in a motor boat and trolling or even casting for fish is, well, sitting.
But is hiking to a backcountry pond, or walking and wading several miles of river any less active than the same hike if you weren't fishing? I don't think so.
A couple of weeks ago, for example, I fished for Atlantic salmon in the Petit Saguenay (www.petitsaguenay.com) river in Quebec. When I booked my morning on the water with a guide, they asked me if I wanted to walk from pool to pool or take an ATV silly question.
I met my guide, Samuel Dalpé (who spoke excellent English) at 7am, and we began our day with a three-mile hike up alongside the river. Yup, we walked three miles, in waders, before we ever made our first cast. Now the walking wasn't hard-we were on a good trail, but still.
We started fishing at the top of the river and walked at least another three miles downstream. I say "at least" because we followed the twists and turn of the river downstream, fished though several pools more than once, and didn't get to walk on a nice trail-most of the time we were treading carefully on riverside rocks, which is much more tiring than just walking on a trail. I'd guess, in all, we covered close to eight miles by the time we arrived back at our starting point. And, frankly, I felt like I'd walked a whole lot farther than that. Another couple of hours of fishing on two pools farther upstream (accessible with just a short walk from the cabin where we were staying) ended my day, and by the time I fell asleep to the sound of rushing water that night, I was ready to sleep through the night.
Who says fishing can't be an "Active Outdoors" sport? And with the water cooling, the fishing is going to get better for the next month or so. You just have to approach it the right way and look for ways to make it more active, healthier, and more fun. Life isn't a spectator sport. Get out and enjoy!
Active Angling
My son Justin lives in Stowe, Vt., and has been bitten hard by the fishing bug. One might say he's tipped over the edge into complete obsession-a good thing, in my worldview. His main quest this summer has been to catch a big trout, one measured in pounds, not inches.
He's been out every evening after work, plying his local ponds and steams but it's been a rough summer for trout fishermen in Vermont and elsewhere in New England, with low, warm water. Despite that, he's landed and released some very nice fish, but not the really big trout he's been looking for.
With that in mind I recently booked an evening of trout fishing for the two of us with guide John Synnott of Stream and Brook Fly Fishing (www.streamandbrook.com). Hiring a guide for a few hours to show you new waters can be money well spent, and I was hoping Justin would see some new spots and learn some new techniques as we shared time together on the water.
John is easy going, personable, and really, really knows his stuff. When I told him we weren't afraid of walking, you could hear him getting excited. We met him near Otter Creek, which flows north along the western foothills of the Green Mountains into Lake Champlain. Thunderstorms the day before had raised and cooled the water enough to wake the trout up from their summer stupor.
We started with a long walk to reach an area where few other people fish. In fact, we didn't see any other anglers until we were almost back to the car. That's another advantage of being willing to exercise for your angling-the farther you walk from a road, the fewer people you see.
Over the course of our evening, we probably walked three miles or a little more, much of that scrambling over streamside rocks or wading in knee-deep to waist-deep water in strong currents. My legs felt it.
I caught and released five nice trout and couple of smallmouth bass; Justin fished hard and caught more fish than I did including one gorgeous rainbow that must have been close to 16 inches. The fish were a bonus to a great afternoon spent hiking, listening to the voice of a beautiful river in a beautiful spot.
Walking, Wading
Unfortunately, an invasive algae, Didymosphenia geminate, more commonly known as Didymo or, poetically "Rock Snot" has made its way into some waters in New England and Quebec. To prevent the spread of this infection, Vermont and (other places) now bans the use of felt soles on wading boots. The porous felt absorbs and holds water, giving hitchhikers a free ride to new waters.
Hiking and wading has always been hard on felt soles-they wear out quickly. So the new wading boots with soft rubber soles and, usually, metal cleats, are a better choice anyway. The best I've found, are made by Korkers, (www.korkers.com). They offer excellent support for real hiking and come with interchangeable soles.
More paddling
In my list of foliage paddles I inadvertently left off one excellent, close-to-home opportunity.
Connecticut Outdoors (www.4ctoutdoors.com) in Oakville, offers trips on the Naugatuck River. This, apparently, is the river not enough people know about. These very nice and very enthusiastic folks rent canoes and kayaks until Oct. 31, and run guided trips through November. Don't miss it..

I'm wondering why we use encrypt-decrypt-encrypt (EDE) sequence in 3DES (also known as DES-EDE, TDES or TDEA) with three keys instead of three times encryption (EEE) with three different keys?
Well, the standard answer is to preserve compatibility with DES; a hardware circuit that implemented 3DES (with EDE) could also be used to do DES as well (by, say, making all three subkeys the same).
Now, there is one slight problem with this straightforward argument; 3DES (EEE, that is, with three encrypt operations) would have this property as well; if we select the first two subkeys to be the same weak key, the second encrypt with the weak key would exactly undo the first, and the plaintext block will be operated on by the third subkey (which is the DES operation we really want).
However, it's not the case that whoever designed 3DES missed this point. Instead, they were also considering a third option as well, 2 key 3DES (which is normal 3DES except that the first and the third subkeys are the same).
Now, if we had a 3DES EEE implementation with three independent subkeys, we could support DES (using the weak key trick), 2 key 3DES (EEE), and 3 key 3DES (EEE). However, that wasn't the only situation they had in mind; they also considered the case where someone implemented 2 key 3DES in hardware (which the first and last subkeys were constrained to be the same). That's one thing EEE mode can't do; we can't use the weak subkey trick with 2 key 3DES (if we make two of the adjacent subkeys the same weak key, then all three subkeys are the same weak key). However, the EDE trick still works.
Hence, the full answer is so that one hardware circuit can support both DES and 2 key 3DES (where the hardware circuitry insists on using the same subkeys for both the first and third subkeys), and also one hardware circuit can support DES, 2 key 3DES, and 3 key 3DES.

Recently we had our Kinect launch with a special Channel 9 Live event. Just prior to this we held a 24 hour Code Camp to allow developers to play with the Kinect SDK for 24 hours and see what they could come up with. I interviewed the teams after the event to take a look at their project and get an idea of the challenges and surprises they found as they worked with the SDK.
Team Youngbuck includes Julian Dale and Nic Wilson. Their project is the timeless classic Pong.
