In the Dr. Seuss Charades Game, preschoolers must act out Dr. Seuss characters and other items from Dr. Seuss books. The game, for two to four players, includes 33 cards, each with three items on it that preschoolers must act out. Choices range from characters, such as Sam I Am, Horton, and the Lorax, to basic items and actions you might have seen in Dr. Seuss books, such as an umbrella, a dog, and singing. One player draws a card and picks one of the three items on that card to act out. He can use words, sounds, and actions, as long as he doesn't say the word itself. The challenge lies in how a child translates a picture to an action, especially when it comes to acting out the characters. Acting out the Grinch isn't as easy as it might sound. The other players have to guess what the action is and can use the six pictures on the other side of the card as clues. Both the player who correctly guesses first and the player who acted out the word roll the dice and move their Dr. Seuss character pawns on the board. The first player to cross the finish line wins. There are, however, some Chutes & Ladders-like twists along the way that can send players forward and backward.
This is an easier, kid-friendly version of Charades, though younger kids may still need assistance from mom and dad. Of course, that collaboration could make it fun for the family to play together.
The Dr. Seuss Charades Game is for ages 3 and up.
The game doesn't require reading, though it could help build both reading and language skills.

English: Jean Chapelain (4 December 1595 – 22 February 1674) was a French poet and critic during the Grand Siècle, best known for his role as an organizer and founding member member of the Academie Francaise. Chapelain acquired considerable prestige as a literary critic, but his own major work, an epic poem about Joan of Arc called "La Pucelle," (1656) was lampooned by his contemporary Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux.

The solution to eliminate this annoying noise, one has to put some padding in areas where pivoting hinges bang against walls. A must on all Thule boxes.

Large drought-induced aboveground live biomass losses in southern Rocky Mountain aspen forests
Correspondence: C.-Y. Huang, tel. + 886 2 3366 3733, fax + 886 2 2362 2911, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Widespread drought-induced forest mortality has been documented across multiple tree species in North America in recent decades, but it is a poorly understood component in terrestrial carbon (C) budgets. Recent severe drought in concert with elevated temperature likely triggered widespread forest mortality of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides), the most widely distributed tree species in North America. The impact on the regional C budgets and spatial pattern of this drought-induced tree mortality, which has been termed 'sudden aspen decline (SAD)', is not well known and could contribute to increased regional C emissions, an amplifying feedback to climate change. We conducted a regional assessment of drought-induced live aboveground biomass (AGB) loss from SAD across 915 km2 of southwestern Colorado, USA, and investigated the influence of topography on the severity of mortality by combining field measures, remotely sensed nonphotosynthetically active vegetation and a digital elevation model. Mean [± standard deviation (SD)] remote sensing estimate of live AGB loss was 60.3 ± 37.3 Mg ha−1, which was 30.7% of field measured AGB, totaling 2.7 Tg of potential C emissions from this dieback event. Aspen forest health could be generally categorized as healthy (0–30% field measured canopy dieback), intermediate (31–50%), and SAD (51–100%), with the remote sensing estimated mean (± SD) live AGB losses of 26.4 ± 15.1, 64.5 ± 9.2, and 108.5 ± 24.0 Mg ha−1, respectively. There was a pronounced clustering pattern of SAD on south-facing slopes due to relatively drier and warmer conditions, but no apparent spatial gradient was found for elevation and slope. This study demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing remote sensing to assess the ramification of climate-induced forest mortality on ecosystems and suggests promising opportunities for systematic large-scale C dynamics monitoring of tree dieback, which would improve estimates of C budgets of North America with climate change.

NRG Rises After Agreeing to Buy GenOn for $1.8 Billion
NRG Energy Inc. gained the most in three years after announcing plans to buy GenOn Energy Inc. in a $1.83 billion all-stock takeover to create the largest U.S. independent power producer.
The agreement, announced yesterday, would result in a company with about 47,000 megawatts of generating capacity, more than the nation of South Africa. With more power plants, the combined company would have the ability to withstand slumping U.S. electricity prices and capitalize on an eventual rebound, chief executive officers of both companies said.
"The all-share transaction is the latest in a series of mergers in the sector focused on minimizing cost structure given the pronounced power and gas downturn," Julien Dumoulin-Smith, a New York-based analyst with UBS AG, wrote in a research note today.
Under the agreement, GenOn holders will receive 0.1216 share of NRG for each of their common shares, a 21 percent premium to the July 20 closing price. GenOn rose 26 percent to $2.29 at the close in New York, the biggest increase since October 2008. NRG climbed 8.1 percent to $19.52, the largest gain since May 2009.
At those prices, Princeton, New Jersey-based NRG's offer values GenOn at $2.37 a share.
"In this industry, if you have the lowest cost structure, you are going to have success over time," NRG CEO David Crane said in a phone interview yesterday. Crane will remain president and CEO of the combined companies. Edward Muller, CEO of Houston-based GenOn, will join NRG's board as vice chairman.
Shares Rise
NRG's rise a sign its shareholders think the takeover is a bargain, said Andy DeVries, a bond analyst with Creditsights Inc. Acquiring company shares typically tumble following a merger announcement.
"It lends credence to GenOn shareholders holding together for a higher offer," he said in a phone interview today. There's a "greater than 50 percent chance" that shareholders will pressure NRG for a higher exchange ratio since GenOn's shares traded above the implied offer price for most of the first quarter, he said in a research note yesterday.
GenOn's large institutional shareholders have been "extraordinarily positive" and "absolutely supportive" of the transaction, Muller said today in a conference call with reporters.
"They see value and are pleased with it," Muller said. Independent power producers, which sell electricity on wholesale markets and don't have regulated utility units, have been harmed by low natural-gas prices and a drop in demand because of the U.S. economy, he said.
Merger Benefits
NRG sees $200 million in cost savings and $100 million in reduced interest expense annually starting in 2014, according to an investor presentation.
The forecast benefits will be mostly from cost savings instead of sales growth, Crane said today in a conference call with analysts. The companies will cut workers, decrease debt and attempt to reduce coal costs.
The combined company will have more cash than needed to back contracts, enabling to it cut debt by $1 billion, NRG Chief Financial Officer Kirk Andrews told analysts today.
"By putting the most competitive cost structure together, we are really not only in a position to survive but thrive in whatever price cycle lays in store for us going forward," Crane said during the media call.
Independent producers have been hurt by a more than 30 percent drop in electricity prices since 2008. At the same time, operators are facing increasing costs to comply with new environmental rules.
Adding Coal
Through July 20, GenOn had lost almost a third of its market value this year as slumping natural-gas prices have dragged down the price of electricity, shrinking revenues.
NRG would add coal plants in the mid-Atlantic with the GenOn purchase. The acquisition will allow NRG to expand its retail business in the Northeast, where the bulk of GenOn generation is located.
Power prices should rise since there's been a limited amount of new generation to replace older, coal-fired power plants being shut because of tougher U.S. environmental rules, Muller said in yesterday's interview.
The closing of coal-burning plants generating 33 gigawatts have already been announced, with an additional 22 gigawatts to follow, concentrated in the Midwest and Southeast, according to a Bloomberg New Energy Finance report on June 21.
NRG Board
NRG holders will own 71 percent of the new company. The combined company, which will be called NRG, will have its financial headquarters in Princeton and operational headquarters in Houston, according to the statement. The board will have 16 members, with 12 directors from NRG and four joining from GenOn.
The transaction is the first power deal announced since the closing three weeks ago of Duke Energy Corp.'s $17.8 billion purchase of Progress Energy Inc., which created the largest U.S. utility owner and was roiled by the last-minute ouster of Progress CEO Bill Johnson.
The transaction must be approved by shareholders of both companies, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the New York Public Service Commission and the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
Crane and Muller said today in the media call that they don't see any regulatory obstacles to the deal or a need to sell assets to meet approvals.
"We don't expect market power issues to arise," Angie Storozynski, a New York-based analyst for Macquarie Capital USA Inc., wrote in a note to clients today.
Hostile Bid
NRG's purchase, worth about $4.2 billion including net debt, would rank as one of the largest sales of an independent power producer in U.S. history, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Excluding spinoffs and bankruptcies, the only two rivaling it in size are NRG's 2006 purchase of Texas Genco for $5.8 billion including debt and Dynegy Inc.'s 2007 acquisition of LS Power Group's power plants for about $4.2 billion.
Muller, GenOn's CEO, made a hostile $7.9 billion offer to buy NRG in 2006 when he was CEO of Mirant Corp., a predecessor. NRG rejected the offer and Mirant instead merged with RRI Energy Inc. in 2010 to create GenOn.
Credit Suisse Group AG and Morgan Stanley advised NRG and JPMorgan Chase & Co. advised GenOn.

Amazing pants! I struggle to find pants that fit well because I have an athletic build. Most pants are too tight in the thigh or seat and tend to be restrictive to movement. These pants allow me comfortable freedom of movement I haven't had in other pants. The fabric is extremely durable and the construction superb.These pants are damn near bullet proof. I have two pair now and am buying more!

Only one con: the length runs one size longer. There are so many pros! Excellent texture, very comfortable heavy feel with enough room in the leg for air to pass and prevent stifling. They are perfect for athletes with larger legs. The espresso color is extremely rich and unique. I would definitely recommend these pants. The material is heavy duty yet soft. The zipperd pocket is perfect for money, cards and small stuff that tends to fall out of pockets.

These pants are alright, I guess. The material they are made from is thick, and make quite a bit of noise while I walk. Also, after you wash them, the material looks like it has ridges. I guess I could iron them, but meh. I would not recommend this to a friend, but the other pant by Kuhl are spot on!

- autosomal recessive cutis laxa;
- homozygosity mapping;
- arterial tortuosity
Autosomal recessive cutis laxa (ARCL) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by loose, inelastic skin and variable systemic involvement and severity. Mutations in the FBLN4 gene are associated with ARCL1B. Fibulin-4 is important in elastic fiber formation and smooth muscle cell differentiation. We describe herein an 8-year-old boy who presented with severe aortic root dilatation and arterial tortuosity at 1 year of age which required surgical repair. His parents were consanguineous and there was a family history of three brothers who died early in life with an unknown type of connective tissue disorder in the 1960s. Both parents of the patient reported here were related to these three boys. We used a homozygosity mapping strategy with a 900K SNP array and identified FBLN4 as a candidate gene in an extended region of homozygosity. We sequenced this gene in the patient and identified a homozygous non-synonymous mutation at c.376G>A (p.Glu126Lys) in exon 5 that was predicted to be damaging. ARCL1B has most typically been associated with early demise but our report suggests that long-term survival is possible. With this longer term survival we are learning more about the natural history of this disorder, which includes baroreceptor reflex failure and low bone mineral density in this patient. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Get your little dancer something to twirl about with the Black and Yellow Dog Tutu!
Why We Love It:
Dancer's will have a ball this Halloween with the Black and Yellow Dog Tutu! This skirt is a great start to an amazing outfit. Tulle skirt has a tie on waist band. Great for photo ops and Halloween!
My little one wore this as part of a Halloween costume. The Tutu is well made and fit great. So looked adorable...if I do say so myself!
It doesn't go all the way around the dog's waist like it looks like it does in the picture. It's also a little more yellow, but I still like it.

The (forthcoming) Aptise platform features a web-indexer that tabulates a lot of statistical data each day.
While we don't currently need this data, keeping it in the "live" database is not really a good idea – it's never used and just becomes a growing stack of general crap that automatically gets backed-up and archived every day as part of standard operations. We will eventually need/want this data, but it's best to keep things lean and move it out-of-sight and out-of-mind.
An example of this type of data is the daily calculation on the relevance of each given topic to each domain that is tracked. We're primarily concerned with conveying the current relevance, but in the future we will want to address historical trends.
Let's look at the basic storage requirements:
|8 bytes
|4 bytes
|4 bytes
|4 bytes
Each row is taking 20 bytes, 8 of which are due to date alone.
Storing this in PostgreSQL across thousands of domains and tags takes a significant chunk of data. This is only one of many similar tables that primarily have archival data.
An easy way to save some space for archiving purposes is to segment the data by date, and move the storage of
date information from a row and into the organizational structure.
If we were to keep everything in Postgres, we would create an explicit table for the date. For example:
CREATE TABLE report_table_a__20160101 (domain_id INT NOT NULL, topic_id INT NOT NULL, count INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0);
This stores the same data, but instead of repeating the date in every row, we have it once on the table name. This will lead to a nearly 40% reduction in size already.
In our use-case, we don't want this in PostgreSQL — and if we did, having hundreds of tables is a bit much overkill. So we're going to export the data into a new file.
SELECT domain_id, topic_id, count FROM table_a WHERE date = '2016-01-01';
And we're going to save that into a comma delimited file:
I skipped a lot of steps because I do this in Python — for reasons I'm about to explain.
As a raw csv, my date-specific table is still pretty large at
7556804 bytes.
Let's consider ways to compress it:
Using standard zip compression, we can drop that down to
2985257 bytes. That's not very good.
If we use xz compression, it drops to
2362719, slightly better.
We've already compressed the data to 40% the original size, but these numbers are just not very good. We've got to do better.
And we can.
We can do much better and actually it's pretty easy. All we need to do is understand compression algorithms a bit.
Generally speaking, compression algorithms look for repeating patterns. When we pulled the data out of PostgreSQL, it was just random.
Let's try to help the compression algorithm do its job, and try to give it better input through sorting:
SELECT domain_id, topic_id, count FROM table_a WHERE date = '2016-01-01' ORDER BY domain_id ASC, topic_id ASC, count ASC;
As a raw csv, this sorted date-specific table is still the same exact
7556804 bytes.
Look what happens when we try to compress it:
Using standard zip compression, we can drop that down to
1867502 bytes. That's pretty good – we're at 25.7% the size of the raw file AND it's 60% the size of the non-sorted zip. That is a huge difference!
If we use xz compression, we drop down to
1280996 bytes. That's even better at 17%.
17% compression is honestly great, and remember — this is compressing the data that is already 40% smaller because we shifted the date column out. If we consider what the filesize with the date column would be, we're actually at 10% compression. Wonderful.
I'm pretty happy with these numbers, but we can still do better — without much work at all.
As I said above, compression software looks for patterns. Although the sorting helped, we're still a bit hindered because our data is in a "row" storage format:
There are lots of repeating patterns there, but not as many as if we used a "column" storage format:
This is the same data, but as you can see it's much more "machine" friendly.
Transposing an array of data from row to column (and back) is incredibly easy with Python and standard functions.
Let's see what happens when I use
transpose_to_csv below on the data from my csv file
def transpose_to_csv(listed_data):
"""given an array of `listed_data` will turn a row-store into a col-store (or vice versa)
reverse with `transpose_from_csv`"""
zipped = zip(*listed_data)
list2 = [','.join([str(i) for i in zippedline]) for zippedline in zipped]
list2 = '\n'.join(list2)
return list2
def transpose_from_csv(string_data):
"""given a string of csvdata, will revert the output of `transpose_to_csv`"""
destringed = string_data.split('\n')
destringed = [line.split(',') for line in destringed]
unzipped = zip(*destringed)
return unzipped
As a raw csv, my transposed file is still the exact same size at
7556804 bytes.
However, if I zip the file – it drops down to
1425585 bytes.
And if I use xz compression… I'm now down to
804960 bytes.
This is a HUGE savings without much work.
The raw data in postgres was probably about
12594673 bytes (based on the savings).
Stripping out the date information and storing it in the filename generated a
7556804 bytes csv file – a 60% savings.
Without thinking about compression, just lazily "zipping" the file created a file
2985257 bytes.
But when we thought about compression: we sorted the input, transposed that data into a column store; and applied xz compression; we resulted in a filesize of
804960 bytes – 10.7% of the csv size and 6.4% of the estimated size in PostgreSQL.
This considerably smaller amount of data can not be archived onto something like Amazon's Glacier and worried about at a later date.
This may seem like a trivial amount of data to worry about, but keep in mind that this is a DAILY snapshot, and one of several tables. At 12MB a day in PostgreSQL, one year of data takes over 4GB of space on a system that is treated for high-priority data backups. This strategy turns that year of snapshots into under 300MB of information that can be warehoused on 3rd party systems. This saves us a lot of time and even more money! In our situation, this strategy is applied to multiple tables. Most importantly, the benefits cascade across our entire system as we free up space and resources.
Note: I purposefully wrote out the ASC on the sql sorting above, because the sort order (and column order) does actually factor into the compression ratio. On my dataset, this particular column and sort order worked the best — but that could change based on the underlying data.
In preparation for the next release, I just did an audit of all the errors that Aptise/Cliquedin encountered while indexing content.
Out of a few million URLs, there were 35k "well formed" urls that couldn't be parsed due to "critical errors".
Most of these 35k errors are due to URL shorteners. A small percentage of them are from shorteners that have dead/broken links. A much larger percentage of them are from shorteners that just do not seem to perform well at all.
I hate saying bad things about any company, but speaking as a former publisher — I feel the need to talk bluntly about this type of stuff. After pulling out some initial findings, I ran more tests on the bad urls from multiple unrelated IP addresses to make sure I wasn't being singled out for "suspicious" activity. Unfortunately, the behavior was consistent.
The worst offenders are:
* wp.me from WordPress
* ctx.ly from Adobe Social Marketing
* trib.al from SocialFlow when used with custom domains fom Bitly
The SocialFlow+Bitly system was overrepresented because of the sheer number of their clients and urls they handle — and I understand that may skews things — but they have some interesting architecture decisions that seem to be reliably bad for older content. While I would strongly recommend that people NOT use any of these url shortening services, I more strongly recommend that people do not use SocialFlow's system with a Custom Domain through bitly. I really hate saying this, but the performance is beyond terrible — it's totally unacceptable.
The basic issue across the board is this: these systems perform very well in redirecting people to newer content (they most likely have the mapping of newer unmaksed urls in a cache), but they all start to stall when dealing with older content that probably needs a database query. I'm not talking about waiting a second or two for a redirect to happen — I'm consistently experiencing wait times from these systems that are reliably over 20 seconds long — and often longer. When using a desktop/mobile web browser, the requests reliably timeout and the browser just gives up.
While wp.me and ctx.ly have a lag as they lookup a url to redirect users to a masked url, the SocialFlow + Bitly combo has a design element that works differently:
1. Request a custom shortened url `http://m.example.com/12345`
2. The shortened url is actually served by Bitly, and you will wait x seconds for lookup + redirect
3. Redirected to a different short url on trib.al (SocialFlow) http://trib.al/abcde
4. Wait x seconds for second lookup + redirect
5. Redirected to end url `http://example.com/VERY+LONG+URL"
All the shorteners could do a better job with speeding up access to older and "less popular" content. But if I were SocialFlow, I would remove Bitly from the equation and just offer custom domains myself. Their service isn't cheap, and from the viewpoint of a publisher — wait times like this are totally unacceptable.
I first noticed this two years ago (http://www.destructuring.net/2012/03/23/dreamhost-ux-security-flaw/) and contacted Dreamhost. It has yet to be fixed.
If you create a "Private" subversion repository on Dreamhost ( username + password are required to view ) and then add a "One Click Install" of Trac to that private repository ( which is marked as "Private" in their installer ), the Trac instance does not have any security permissions. The entirety of your source code is readable through the Trac browser.
Here's a illustration:
• Private SVN Repository – http://svn.2xlp.com/ExampleTracSvn/svn
• Default Trac Install – http://svn.2xlp.com/ExampleTracSvn/trac/browser/README.txt
While many people may want to have a Publicly readable repo for ticketing, I think it's safe to say that most people who use a "One Click Install" are not familiar enough with the intricacies of Trac to know about it's permissions system.
If you're affected the easiest fix you can implement, is to add a .htaccess file to your trac directory.
A better fix, is to get off Dreamhost's OneClickInstall entirely. The Trac One-Click-Install is a halfassed and terrible approach.
Dreamhost did something smart with their Subversion install. Your home directory has a `svn` subdirectory which contains some specific files for each subversion repo:
* RepoName/ ( the actual repo )
* RepoName.access (a .htaccess file for your repo )
* RepoName.passwd ( a htpassed file for the repo's access file )
It's a very smart an elegant solution. The Trac install, however, is anything but.
1. Dreamhost installs one version of the Trac library in your home directory for each trac instance. If you have 5 tracs, you have 5 directories like `~/webroot_svn_2xlp_com_ExampleTracSvn_trac_trac`
2. Dreamhost installs the entire Trac environment and database in a web directory. The configuration files, database, everything, are available in an Apache served directory — controlled only by .htaccess files.
A better way to manage Trac, is to create a `~/trac` subdirectory of your home folder, and centralize all your trac projects. You can then use .htaccess files and symlinks to expose the relevant directories to the internet at large.
This will guard you against situations where an erroneous .htaccess file renders your contents as raw-data ( it happens ).
If you have more than one Trac installation, you would probably benefit from installing Trac as a Python library and having multiple projects reference it.
Every so often a file accidentally gets dropped onto my OSX sidebar. Usually I can command-click and `remove from sidebar` via the contextual. If the file has been deleted, no contextual menu pops up.
I tried every trick posted on Apple's forums to fix this , nothing worked.
Then I had an idea — what if I figured out what the file was, and then replaced that file. Would OSX let me delete it from the sidebar manually ?
It did! FINALLY!
So here's what did work on my 10.6.8 Macbook :
After a bit of `grep`ping, I found the offending entry in "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist"
It's a binary plist, so it's a pain to edit directly.
Looking at the contents via `more` or `vi` , I found the offending entry along with what looked to be a file path. There was a pointer to the file in "/Users/jvanasco/.Trash/NONEXISTANT_FILENAME"
This worked on first try:
1. `touch /Users/jvanasco/.Trash/NONEXISTANT_FILENAME`
2. restart Finder.app ( "Force Quit" by clicking command+option+esc, then selecting Finder"
3. select the bad item on the sidebar, command-click, and delete via the contextual menu item
A few months ago I got an email from my friend's startup. It looked something like this:
I immediately saw a problem – the text to the right of the Subject line was the standard "crap" text that people dismiss. He wasn't optimizing the email for increased open rates.
When I was at TDB, the legacy email systems had the same issues. When I upgraded vendors, I also had the templates updated to allow for a smarter email marketing strategy.
Instead of using the "If you can't see this email" message at the top, we changed the text to sell in some of the other stories. Below you can see the difference during the changeover. The difference in value proposition to users for an open is quite clear — and the updated format was very compelling.
How to accomplish this? You just need to understand that most email programs ( Gmail , Apple's Iphone/Mac Mail, etc) will pull the first few lines of text as a preview. You want to control that and use it.
Originally it looked like this:
An influential person in the company didn't like that text, so it had to be removed.
No worries, the fix was simple, I just had everything wrapped in a custom style to make it essentially hidden:
Hidden Text Here
The open rates, which were already pretty high, increased noticeably. Several readers consciously noticed the format change, and wrote in with gratitude — it helped them not miss stories that mattered.
As a side note, the "nav bar" at the top of the email [Home…Books] disappeared in the second image because an influential person required that to be killed too. I strongly disagreed with that decision – it was a great source of click-throughs and a "best practice" taught to me by multiple of the top email marketers in the industry ( and backed up with analytics + constantly reiterated each time ). The click through rate dipped because of those links leaving ( people did not click elsewhere ), but the overall numbers increased from the open-rate improvements to offset it.
Nobody likes the NSA , or anyone else , spying on their email activities.
Many secure email systems have all shuttered , because they were compelled by courts to invalidate their security or feared that possibility.
Here are two popular models and weaknesses :
1. *Send/Receive unencrypted email , encrypt on server.* This is what Lavabit did. The weakness is that the government is able to compel the provider to copy/clone/divert the unencrypted mail.
2. *Web based mail, encrypted in browser.* Hushmail did this. Their weakness is that the government is able to compel them to deliver a compromised applet/library onto the client side browsers.
In order for email to be reasonably secure, it requires a few key components:
1. *End-to-End Encryption.* Data must be encrypted by the Sender and decrypted by the receiver. Service providers should never be able to access a plaintext version or have the means to decrypt a message.
2. *Full Transparency of Code.* Email clients must publish their source code and libraries, so that any sort of backdoors can be identified. Without open-source and full transparency, Service Providers and Software Vendors can be compelled by courts to offer insecure products.
3. *Required Encryption.* Plaintext emails should not be deliverable at all. This would force widespread adoption of secure email , and keep 'snoopable' email off of email servers.
In order to achieve this , I suggest the start of novel improvements to current email as follows:
1. All emails should be encrypted via public-key cryptography within the email client.
– Outbound email is encrypted for the Recipient
– Drafts are encrypted for the Sender
– An email header contains a digest of the key used for encryption
2. SMTP should be extended with new commands and responses ( SSMTP ). Generally speaking :
– SMTP servers should reject unencrypted email
– SMTP servers should reject email with an unknown or expired Public Key
It would be trivial to extend a SMTP server like Exim with those requests. Many mail servers easily connect to SQL or LDAP backends to find delivery information; extending this information with a list of VALID and INVALID public keys for each user is trivial.
A current SMTP example looks like this ( from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMTP )
S: 220 smtp.example.com ESMTP Postfix
C: HELO relay.example.org
S: 250 Hello relay.example.org, I am glad to meet you
S: 250 Ok
S: 250 Ok
S: 354 End data with
C: From: "Bob Example"
C: To: "Alice Example"
C: Cc: firstname.lastname@example.com
C: Date: Tue, 15 January 2008 16:02:43 -0500
C: Subject: Test message
C: Hello Alice.
C: This is a test message with 5 header fields and 4 lines in the message body.
C: Your friend,
C: Bob
S: 250 Ok: queued as 12345
S: 221 Bye
{The server closes the connection}
A more secure version would be:
S: 220 smtp.example.com SSMTP Postfix
note that Secure SMTP is required
C: HELO relay.example.org
S: 250 Hello relay.example.org, I am glad to meet you
S: 250 Ok
S: 250 Ok
C: PUBLIC KEY: ca978112ca1bbdcafac231b39a23dc4da786eff8147c4e72b9807785afee48bb
S: 250 Ok
A hash of the public key is provided. It is allowed.
Perhaps the key has been expired ?
C: PUBLIC KEY: ca978112ca1bbdcafac231b39a23dc4da786eff8147c4e72b9807785afee48bb
Assuming we have the key, send the message…
S: 354 End data with
C: From: "Bob Example"
C: To: "Alice Example"
C: Date: Tue, 15 January 2008 16:02:43 -0500
C: Subject: Test message
S: 250 Ok: queued as 12345
S: 221 Bye
{The server closes the connection}
The message is encrypted in a payload
There are some caveats with this approach.
1- This greatly complicates multiple recipients — ie , CC and BCC
2- A new Mail format might be needed. Currently, email headers contain a lot of sender/recipient information — as well as the subject lines. In order to be fully secure, the Subject line needs to move into the encrypted payload. Other headers would need to either move or be stripped. at the least, something like this should exist.
+ unencrypted headers
– to
– from
+ encrypted payload
– headers
. subject
. etc
– body
3- The distribution of Public Keys is troublesome. At first I thought servers could advertise public keys as a directory service, and delivery failures could contain a "New Key" attachment. However, this creates a potential for a man-in-the-middle attack. For example, the NSA could compel an ISP to work with them by advertising an NSA key , decrypting and storing the message, then re-encoding the message with the proper key. It would be possible to identify this with Message Signing , but one or more messages would have been stolen.
Nevertheless, a secure method of distributing and verifying public keys would be needed.
There are complications and weaknesses in this approach, but I feel they are significantly smaller than other approaches I've seen lately.
In any event, I don't think it's possible to make the current SMTP system reasonably secure — I believe we need to change/extend it.
I had some trouble with a new virtualenv — psycopg2 wouldn't install.
I remembered going though this before, but couldn't find my notes. I ended up fixing it before finding my notes ( which point to this StackOverflow question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2088569/how-do-i-force-python-to-be-32-bit-on-snow-leopard-and-other-32-bit-64-bit-quest ) , but I want to share this with others.
psycopg2 was showing compilation errors in relation to some PostgreSQL libraries
> ld: warning: in /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4.5/lib/libpq.dylib, missing required architecture x86_64 in file
so then I checked how the file was built:
lets see how that was built…
$ file /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4.5/lib/
> /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4.5/lib/libpq.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
> /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4.5/lib/libpq.dylib (for architecture ppc): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library
> /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4.5/lib/libpq.dylib (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
Crap. it's built i386 only. The fix is easy right? We just need to export archflags and build.
$ export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386″
$ pip install –upgrade psycopg2
That works perfect, right?
> File "/environments/example-2.7.5/lib/python2.7/site-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 50, in
> from psycopg2._psycopg import BINARY, NUMBER, STRING, DATETIME, ROWID
>ImportError: dlopen(/environments/example-2.7.5/lib/python2.7/site-packages/psycopg2/_psycopg.so, 2): no suitable image found. Did find:
> /environments/example-2.7.5/lib/python2.7/site-packages/psycopg2/_psycopg.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture
I was dumbfounded for a few seconds, then I realized — Python was trying to run 64 bit (x86_64) , but I only have the 32 bit library.
the right fix? Rebuild PostgreSQL to support 64bit.
My PostgrSQL was a prebuilt package, and I don't have time to fix that, so I need to do a few hacky/janky things
basically , we're going to force python to run in i386 ( and not 64bit )
go to our virtualenv…
cd /environments/example-2.7.5/bin
back it up
cp python python-original
strip it…
# note that our last arg is the input, and the 2nd to last it output
lipo -thin i386 -output python-i386 python
replace it
rm python
mv python-i386 python
now install psycopg2
export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386″
pip install –upgrade psycopg2
yay this works !
now get some work done and save some time so you can build a 64bit PostgreSQL
I like to read recaps of late-night talk show monologues. Craig Ferguson's really resonated with me ( paraphrased: I'm sick of this shit ).
Then I clicked to this HuffingtonPost article for a recap of Conan O'Brien. It infuriated me. http://huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/16/conan-addresses-boston-marathon-bombing_n_3091426.html?utm_hp_ref=comedy
As I start reading a recap of Conan O'Brien's monologue, all of the sudden there's audio coming out of my computer of an incredibly annoying woman talking. WTF?
I'm not watching a video. There's no ad on the screen. I keep scrolling down several page heights.
And there it is… the Huffington Post has pre-roll video commercials running auto-play as pre-roll to a gallery after the article — more than 2050 pixels down the screen.
This is shitty beyond belief.
* The obvious issue is that I'm hearing an incredibly annoying ad for Dannon yogurt while reading a story about a terrible tragedy. This is not a great moment in content adjacency — this is quite horrible.
* Add the fact that it's a hidden ad that just started playing , without me triggering anything — and it's quite offensive.
* This is as horrible a "media buy" as one could imagine.
** Long Pre-Roll ads aren't a good ad unit. 30 seconds without the ability to skip out is really bad and makes the brand look bad to users.
** Pre-Roll is supposed to be a "premium" ad unit. Selling a premium unit to client — but then delivering it as both an autoplay ad AND on an *incredibly* off screen page element — cheapens the unit beyond worth. This is an antagonistic unit to both the brand and consumer. As a consumer, I had to hunt to look for an ad on the page. As a brand, I pay for impressions and views. AOL/HuffingtonPost created an advertising product that effectively hid the ad unit on screen, keeping people from turning it off — or even actually viewing the ad unit.
Stuff like this doesn't happen by accident. Having worked in advertising and publishing, some scenarios are the more likely reasons:
* AOL/HuffingtonPost was incredibly shady, and started pumping "premium" ad sales into non-premium units in order to fulfill an inventory order or take advantage of traffic spikes.
* AOL/HuffingtonPost purposefully sold a sub-standard unit to Dannon's media buying agency, claiming it's premium inventory.
* AOL/HuffingtonPost and Dannon's media buying agency colluded to divert a portion of their spend of "premium units" into non-premium units like these.
The least likely scenarios ?
* Dannon's media buying agency wanted to buy units like this, because they thought it was a great investment for their client.
* This is all just a mistake, and AOL/HuffingtonPost is not greedy or doing anything shady – their technology and advertising teems are just grossly inept.
If I had to choose only one option, I'd guess that AOL/HuffingtonPost is trying to earn extra revenue by hiding "premium" videos on traffic spike ( Boston tragedy related ) pages. Welcome to the wonderful world of online publishing.
I feel sorry for Dannon and am really disgusted by AOL/HuffingtonPost. I can't seem to figure out who buys digital inventory for Dannon; Havas' MPG unit ( now Havas ) handled TV media for Dannon as far back as December, but there doesn't seem to be any mention about online buying.
Attached, a stitched screen…
The blue line is approximately 2050 pixels down the screen; the ad unit is the "embedded gallery" directly below it. The average browser window hight right now is around 750pixels, making that ad unit appear on the 4th page.
I've been transferring my domains over to Dreamhost.com after Name.com & GoDaddy.com both turned out to be run by complete assholes. ( reference [Name.com is doing some really sketchy stuff](http://www.destructuring.net/2013/02/28/name-com-is-doing-some-really-sketchy-stuff/) )
During the Dreamhost transfer process, I noticed an odd behavior and brought it up with their Customer Support team. After numerous back & forths, they don't seem to understand the issue I've brought up. Perhaps you will…
When you receive an confirmation request from Dreamhost at the 'outbound' registrar's email address, you'll read this message:
Re: Transfer of destroybrooklyn.com
New Dream Network, LLC (dba DreamHost.com) has received a request from
jonathan vanasco
via our web administration panel on 2013-03-18 for us to become the new
registrar of record.
You have received this message because you are listed as the

your domain name:
* You must agree to enter into a new Registration Agreement with
us. You can review the full terms and conditions of the Agreement at
* Once you have entered into the Agreement, the transfer will take
place within five (5) calendar days unless the current registrar of

* Once a transfer takes place, you will not be able to transfer to
another registrar for 60 days, apart from a transfer back to the
original registrar, in cases where both registrars so agree or where a
decision in the dispute resolution process so directs.

If you DO NOT WANT the transfer to proceed, then don't respond to this
If you have any questions about this process, please contact
You might have noted that the text of that email just says "Do you want to approve this transfer from Godaddy to Dreamhost?". It doesn't say who at Dreamhost initiated the request. It doesn't give a "Transaction ID" that can link the request I made when starting this Transfer , to this confirmation request.
The webpage you click onto is equally as cryptic:
Attention: email@example.com
Re: Transfer of destroybrooklyn.com
New Dream Network, LLC (dba DreamHost.com) has received a
request on 2013-03-18 08:37:23 for us to become
the new registrar of record.
You have received this message because you are listed as the

Please read the following important information about transferring
your domain name:
If you WISH TO PROCEED with the transfer, please click "Approve"
below. (Note if you do not respond by 2014-03-18, destroybrooklyn.com will
not be transferred to us.)
If you DO NOT WANT the transfer to proceed, then ignore this page, or click "Deny" above.
If you have any questions about this process, please contact
While both the email and webpage seem to have "SOME_BIG_NUMBER", they're a transaction ID that appears on the email as a query_string, is a hidden value on the HTML page, and something I've never seen before during my transfer initiation.
Perhaps I've become a bit too security-minded in my age, but this scenario really jumps out at me — if someone knew that I was likely to transfer a domain to Dreamhost ( which is something more than a few people have tweeted about ) , another party could ostensibly try and transfer a domain at the same time — and I would have no idea what I'm approving. Granted, one would need to get a Registrar Authorization Code in order to initiate a domain transfer — but there are plenty of stories online involving email hacking, password guessing, and registrar manipulation to get that done. While the email does state my name, if I wanted to trick someone into giving up their domain… I could just use their public whois data ( or their twitter info ) to have that seemingly populated.
An exploit like this is admittedly an edge case… but it's possible and there's such a silly little fix to this sort of situation — giving the transaction a unique id ( which is probably already has ) , and making that ID clear to both the account requesting a transfer and the one approving a transfer.
Do you wish to approve the transfer DomainXYZ from GoDaddy to Dreamhost ?
Could so easily be…
Do you wish to approve the transfer DomainXYZ from GoDaddy to Dreamhost, with the TransactionID 12345 ?

Michelle Gomez joins Doctor Who series 8
The latest series 8 casting news has Green Wing's Michelle Gomez playing "The Gatekeeper of the Nethersphere"...
"Brilliant, Scottish and a tiny bit satanic." That's how Steven Moffat describes the latest guest star announced for Doctor Who series eight: Michelle Gomez.
Seen of late in BBC Three's Bad Education, Gomez is known and loved for her role as the unpredictable, devilish Sue White in Channel Four's Green Wing, and came to popular attention in Annie Griffin's The Book Group. She's also an accomplished stage actress, recently winning plaudits in the RSC's 2012 production of The Taming Of The Shrew.
Doctor Who fans though, will soon know Gomez as The Gatekeeper of the Nethersphere, pictured below in period dress. Filming continues on series eight.
Doctor Who returns to UK television on Saturday the 23rd of August.

Mitchell guitars made their big debut in 1986, and they've been a popular choice for guitarists ever since. The Mitchell formula is a simple one: make well-built guitars with a price tag that fits into anyone's budget. If you're a student looking for your first instrument or a hobbyist in search of an affordable option, then Mitchell definitely has your number. In this section you'll find some fantastic guitars ready to handle the demands of daily practice, as well as a range of starter packs that come with everything you need to get going from scratch. The most widely-represented style of guitar in Mitchell's lineup is the dreadnought. Thanks to their large sound chambers, these instruments have a sound that's naturally loud and bold, which makes it easy to hear the details in their tone. You'll find a few versions here, like the MD100 and MDJ10 with their traditional dreadnought body shapes. Other models, like the MD200SCE, feature a cutaway body which makes it easy to reach the closest few frets, giving you the greatest possible range when you play. If you're looking for a guitar to take to the studio or orchestra, you should also consider the classical body style. Check out the MO100S or the MX400 for starters. Another model that comes well-recommended for traditional performances is the Mitchell Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar, which has an onboard pickup and preamp. That allows you to connect an acoustic guitar amplifier to get way more volume than what's possible with acoustic sound alone. Are you an aspiring folk musician? Take a look at the MO100SPK Folk Acoustic Guitar Pack - with a strap, DVD guide, tuner, gig bag, picks and extra strings all bundled in, it's everything you need to get your career underway. No matter which of these Mitchell guitars turns out to be the right one for you, you'll be getting amazing bang for your buck. That's what Mitchell does best, after all, and the proof is right here in this selection of instruments that look and sound great, are built to last, and easily fit into a shoestring budget. It's a hard combination to pull off, but Mitchell has really nailed it.

There's a line of people waiting to be photographed with him...Cashmore's photographer, Mike, gets yelled at by a couple of girls because he didn't take their picture with Cashmore...[Cashmore:] "There are competitive advantages to this kind of visibility, you know." Naturally: Within eight months, Cashmore and his female-heavy (for tech) audience had surpassed Mike Arrington's TechCrunch to become the most popular tech blog, at least according to Compete.com and Quantcast. The lead has since widened. But could AOL maintain it without Mashable's party-boy-in-chief? Not immediately; if the newly-independent internet conglomerate does buy Mashable, expect a long earn-out for Cashmore. The lock-up agreement must eventually come to an end, of course, but perhaps by then AOL will have found another smoldering young editor to take over the site. Here are some Cashmore pictures that should help with the recruiting — and that show just what sort of attactive powers AOL is purportedly eyeballing: Never let your date near Pete Cashmore, Exhibit A.

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
Lyrics : David Gilmour, Polly Samson
Music : David Gilmour
Album : The Division Bell (1994)
This song is about nostalgia, regret, and the end of things, as time runs its course.
It is the final song of Pink Floyd's penultimate album.
It stood for 20 years as the band's swan song (until Gilmour and Mason reunited to work on a final homage to the late Richard Wright) and sounds like it, as there are many references, both in music and lyrics, to previous Pink Floyd Songs, and ends with a recording of then Pink Floyd producer Steve O'Rourke, while "Astronomy Domine", the first track of Pink Floyd's debut album, opened with a recording of then Pink Floyd producer Peter Jenner.

After Government Shutdown Forces Couple to Cancel Wedding, Stephen Colbert Steps in to Perform the Ceremony
By Dustin Rowles | Videos | October 4, 2013 | Comments ()
Well, this is just fantastic! After the government shutdown forced the closure of the nation's parks, one couple had to cancel their wedding. Colbert, however, wouldn't have it. He brought in the couple, their wedding party, and the family, held the bachelor and bachelorette party (with strippers) on stage, and then performed the ceremony of Mike Cassesso and MaiLien Le (who carried Colbert's Emmy in lieue of a bouquet). The icing on the cake? Mandy Patinkin came out to sing the non-denominational Jewish blessing, and five-time Tony winner Audra McDonald came out to sing the song for the first dance (an opera version of Billy Idol's "White Wedding").
It's terrific!
