My original Denon Link cable looks like it is a CAT5E or 6 STP (shielded) straight patch cable. I think that AudioQuest has a Cat5E that some people reported it worked with the DLIII. Mine came with the DVD-2930.

Officials from the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, Alverd Chankseliani and Khatuna Akhalaia, verbally and physically insulted two journalists, Madona Batiashvili and Gela Mtivlishvili of the Kakheti Information Centre.

Camden's resurrected holiday parade will course its way downtown Saturday afternoon, a little more than six months after 50 freshly minted police officers marched through the city's streets.
But those new officers will likely be the first to lose their jobs in January as one of the nation's poorest and most dangerous cities faces unprecedented police layoffs. Some familiar with the department wonder why they were hired at all.
"They were used as pawns, as sacrificial lambs," said one former officer who asked not to be identified. "A lot of people wondered, despite the fanfare that day, whether this was the best decision to hire these officers at that time."

- Abstract
- Article
- References
- Cited By
Over the past twenty-five years, numerous articles in Hypatia have clarified, revised, and defended increasingly more nuanced views of both feminist empiricism and standpoint feminism. Feminist empiricists have argued that scientific knowledge is contextual and socially situated (Longino 1990; Nelson 1990; Anderson 1995), and standpoint feminists have begun to endorse virtues of theory choice that have been traditionally empiricist (Wylie 2003). In fact, it is unclear whether substantive differences remain. I demonstrate that current versions of feminist empiricism and standpoint feminism now have much in common but that key differences remain. Specifically, they make competing claims about what is required for increasing scientific objectivity. They disagree about 1) the kind of diversity within scientific communities that is epistemically beneficial and 2) the role that ethical and political values can play. In these two respects, feminist empiricists have much to gain from the resources provided by standpoint theory. As a result, the views would be best merged into "feminist standpoint empiricism."

After going head-to-head at the box office, "Captain America" star Chris Evans and Guardian of our Galaxy Chris Pratt have agreed to a charitable bet over Super Bowl XLIX.
It's root, root, root for the home team, as they say, and so Boston native Evans has taken up his signature red, white and blue in support of the New England Patriots while Pratt, who hails from Seattle, cheers on the Seattle Seahawks.
Both football fans and friends, Evans and Pratt made very public and very charitable bet: If the Patriots win, Pratt will don a Patriots jersey and make an appearance at Christopher's Haven, a non-profit organization that provides support housing for families whose children are receiving outpatient pediatric cancer treatments in Boston. If the Seahawks win, Evans will show up to Seattle Children's Hospital as Captain America, brandishing a 12th Man flag.
Check out their Twitter exchange below.

Salumeria 104 Succeeds at Serving Affordable Regional Italian Fare
A salumeria is a neighborhood shop that specializes in cured meats and other prepared foods for take-out. Often it provides table service and a limited menu of antipasti and simple home-cooked meals as well. Salumeria 104, which opened in midtown in December, is Miami's first such operation. This collaboration among chef Angelo Masarin, Carlo Donadoni, and Graziano Sbroggio of the Graspa Group brings a lot of local Italian restaurant experience to the table: Masarin, a native of Treviso in northern Italy, earned his chops at Casa Tua, Sardinia, and Cecconi's; Sbroggio co-owns and manages the Van Dyke Café, Tiramesu, Spris, and Segafredo. Their seasoning shines through at Salumeria.
Just like a traditional meat market, the restaurant's walls are lined with shiny white tiles. Storefront windows take up the front of the nearly 50-seat space (with 30 more seats outside), while the back wall is a photo mural depicting an idyllic scene of a pastoral Italian vineyard. The rest of the space is a tidy arrangement of antique wooden tables on a polished concrete floor, with globe lights dropping from the ceiling and a counter running along the right side of the room -- behind which the salumi are shaved on fire-engine-red Italma slicers. The only disconcerting decorative notes are plastic prosciutto ham shoulders suspended along one wall; in Italy, they hang real hams.
The salumi selection encompasses two types of prosciutto (di Parma and San Daniele) along with mortadella, bresaola, guanciale, salame, cacciatorino, cotto al tartufo, and speck. The prosciutti are $10 and $12 (or a taste of both for $16); the rest are $5 each. Diners are likewise given the option of choosing one of the dry-cured hams to go along with any two or four salumi ($14 or $20). Three cheeses -- Parmigiano-Reggiano, pecorino Toscano, and bufala -- are tendered as well.
At lunchtime, you can order some of those cold cuts (plus porchetta) in sandwiches made on fresh focaccia from Spuntino Bakery (also owned by the Graspa Group). Dinner breadbaskets bring thin slices of crusty, chewy baguette from the same bakery. For $3 you can get an assortment of breads, but baguette goes best with the charcuterie.

LeBronãs take on how Carmelo Anthony is handling the ãMelo-dramaã
LOS ANGELES ã It was an interesting and entertaining scene this afternoon, when media was allowed to storm the court and interview the player of their choice after All-Star practice at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony, the man of the weekend, sat on a scorerãs table flanked by two of his good friends — New Orleans point guard Chris Paul and Miami forward LeBron James.
The questions poured in on Anthony, but soon James jumped in as well giving his two cents on how he feels Anthony has handled this entire trade saga and comparing it to his own. Specifically, Anthonyãs willingness to always do an interview during these now seven months of consistent trade talk.
ãI just stopped doing interviews,ã James said. ãEvery time they asked me I just said ãstop.ã Carmelo Anthony is his own man, just like I am my own man. Itãs totally different. One thing about me, when I was going through my situation I was able to hide a little bit because it was the offseason when it got heavy.
ãThis guy is traveling everyday. He still has to play, he still has to put on that uniform and still represent the Denver Nuggets in the right way and still listen to you guys ask him every single day what is he doing, where is he going. And he knows just as much as you guys know.ã
Asked if Anthonyãs situation was worse than his, James said, ãYeah, because he has to see you guys everyday. I didnãt have to see yaãll in the offseason. I didnãt have to see yaãll at all.ã

Timed to coincide with the release of the 2001 remake of the Sinatra, Martin and Davis anti-classic Ocean's 11, Eee-O 11 serves less as a best-of than an introduction to the high-living nightclub ethos the Rat Pack embodied. Along with some true knockouts, mostly from Frank's catalogue, the collection includes some impossible corn (a "When You're Smiling" that seems to be putting Dino himself to sleep) along with a couple of straitjacketed studio takes on the Pack's onstage antics (both Sammy duets). Handily, it culls one of the original movie's few high points--the rousing Davis blues that provides this disc's title--for a closer. Those drawn in by the newer film will find this a welcome package, as will swingin' initiates looking for a road-trip CD soundtrack. --Rickey Wright

Is this essential Sinatra? All of these songs are available elsewhere, and Dean must have performed 'Volare' hundreds of times. It is a great set for those who want to sample the less serious side of all three singers in one easy package, and each was a talent in his own right. If the bombast gets a bit out of hand ('I'm Gonna Live 'til I Die' must be the loudest thing Sinatra ever recorded, even if it is riveting), there are some real treasures here as well -- especially among the Sinatra numbers. 'Witchcraft' and 'The Lady is a Tramp' have been released at least five or six times in the past decade, but somehow when you're listening to these guys having a ball with a string of uptempo tunes, the ice melting in your glass, you don't mind paying for the privilege of owning maybe just one more CD with a few familiar songs.
Dean Martin is singin' "Ain't That A Kick in A Head", "Volare", "When You're Smiling", "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You", "Sittin' On Top Of The World" and helping Sammy on "Sam's Song".
Sammy Davis Jr. is singin' "Too Close For Comfort", "A Lot Of Livin' To Do", "The Birth Of The Blues" and "Eee-O Eleven" and two previously mentioned duets.
The collection is great, sound too. So, Swing This, Baby!
This album more than made up for the previous. The songs are a real testament for the talent these guys had. Some of the highlights are "Ain't That A Kick In The Head", "Eee-O-11", "I'm Gonna Live Til I Die"(I've adopted that one as my theme song...). The whole mix is of such great quality of sound that I can picture myself sitting in the front row at the Sands. The upbeat tunes are equally spaced between the soulful croones so it's impossible to get bored.
I suggest that anyone who likes to swing and have a good time buy this album. It'll liven up any clam-bake and will defintely make you look like a big-leaguer instead of a harvey.

By the letter of the rules, Sean Locklear did, in fact, commit holding when he was flagged for a controversial penalty that negated Seattle's last, best chance to take the lead in Super Bowl XL. So does that mean the NFL and its officials are off the hook? Not at all. An examination of every passing play of the game shows that if the officials missed 22 holding violations by offensive tackles during the Super Bowl. Find out more in the season's final installment of Every Play Counts.

The Seahawks have the league's most balanced offensive attack. The Steelers have demolished three top offenses in three straight games with a swarming, tenacious defense. Which of these standout units can overcome the other to win Super Bowl XL? Actually, the answer is probably "neither." The biggest variable in this game is Pittsburgh's turnaround converting third downs vs. the Seattle secondary. Our DVOA-packed preview of Super Bowl XL is available on FOXSports.com, along with Mike Tanier's Super Bowl XL Rundown and Michael David Smith's look at key matchups. This thread is for discussion of all three.

Other than tackles, interceptions, and sacks, there are very few publicly available stats to measure the quality of individual defensive players. That's why this year, Football Outsiders began a project to chart games and get more data to improve our analysis of defense. Bill Moore takes a look at this unofficial data to draw some conclusions about the Pittsburgh and Seattle secondaries -- some of which may surprise you.

Which defenses faced the most fourth-down tries? And which team is on top of weighted DVOA going into the Super Bowl: Pittsburgh or Seattle?

"A vividly realized narrative, based on a true story."
Night Running: How James Escaped with the Help of His Faithful Dogby Earl B. Lewis, E. B. Lewis
It's 1838, and James has made a secret plan to escape Master Graham's farm–and slavery. James tells his dog Zeus he has to stay behind: he's simply too noisy to bring along on a dangerous nighttime journey. But when two white men capture James soon after he runs, he's grateful his faithful hunting dog didn't obey. Zeus has followed
It's 1838, and James has made a secret plan to escape Master Graham's farm–and slavery. James tells his dog Zeus he has to stay behind: he's simply too noisy to bring along on a dangerous nighttime journey. But when two white men capture James soon after he runs, he's grateful his faithful hunting dog didn't obey. Zeus has followed behind, and the scrappy hound rescues James from his captors. An author's note describes the real life inspiration behind the book: James Smith, a slave who escaped with the help of his dog and went on to become a farmer and Baptist minister.
Editorial Reviews
"A vividly realized narrative, based on a true story."
Carbone's (Stealing Freedom) powerful first picture book, based on a true story, is set in 1838, when James, a young slave, decides to escape his master's Virginia farm and reluctantly tells his noisy dog, Zeus, to stay behind ("One skinny old hunting dog wasn't worth staying for. Not when there was freedom to be had"). Ignoring the boy, Zeus comes anyway and saves James's life several times, helping him escape his master's lackeys, kill vicious slave-catching dogs and cross the Ohio River when James's canoe sinks. Dramatically illuminated by sunshine and moonlight, Lewis's (Coming on Home Soon) watercolors highlight the characters' peril-in one scene, James tenses as he's about to be whipped by his captor; equally upsetting is the sight of James and Zeus fending off the pack of dogs. Carbone's colloquial narrative offsets the harsh reality ("Ropes that are slimed up with dog spit are mighty easy to untie!") and emphasizes the sometimes strained but tender friendship between boy and dog. This emotionally charged account will move children and parents alike, right through the quietly triumphant denouement. An author's note provides details about the real James Smith's later years. Ages 5-8. (Jan.)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
Gr 2-4
Through skillful storytelling, Carbone captures the heroics of a boy and his faithful hunting dog in search of freedom. The story begins in 1838 when James Smith leaves behind his life as a slave on Master Graham's farm in Virginia (now West Virginia). The boy does not originally plan to take Zeus because he's "always hungry" and too noisy-"more racket than a sack of pots and pans." However, the hound is persistent-a good thing since he saves James's life more than once. On the north bank of the Ohio River, a Quaker farmer finds the pair. James goes with him only when his dog is also welcomed. An author's note gives additional facts about James Smith and his flight to freedom, his life in Huron County, OH, and Canada. The realistic watercolors bring James to life and convey Zeus's devotion to his owner. The watercolor paintings beautifully evoke the sun-drenched cotton fields. Deep purples and rich, dark greens capture the moonlit night and contrast with James's light clothing. Hope and freedom are reflected in the brighter colors of the last pages. A vividly realized narrative, based on a true story.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lkey Exactly what I wanted My puppy climbed over a shorter one just like this gate. This taller one is perfect. He doesn't even try to climb it! May 22, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Batman This gate is perfect for dogs who are jumpers. I have a Border Collie/German Shepherd who jumps like a deer. He has gotten over every gate I've tried, except this one. I bought the Large (44" tall) and he stays in his area while I am at work. It's so easy to use - you place it in the doorway, widen it to fit snug, push down the lever to lock in place. It takes about 1 minute. It's wood with a metal grate, which appears to be much sturdier than the plastic baby gates I've tried. It would be nice if there were color options - if the wood came in different stain colors, or even black/white (to better match my decor), but that's not a deal breaker, as I take the gates down when I am home. March 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fostermom This was exactly what I was looking for. I needed a taller gate that would keep my Pyr from having access to the entire house while I'm not home, would allow me to change the height and be used to also keep foster kittens and cats in their own room but still feel part of the household. This does all those things. I use a double baby gate system to keep the cats or kittens separate but 2 was never quite high enough to keep the climbers in! Now they can't get up over the top and I can open this to get into their room easily. February 18, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Crrrly Great for what it is This is a wide, cheap, pressure-mounted gate. It's perfect in that regards. Eventually, though, I think the frame will bow/snap, so I wouldn't leave it under tension all day, or expect it to hold back a dog who throws himself against it. Fast shipping! June 30, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Janed27 Dog chewed through it I have a 13lb doxie poo that does not like to be confined. I've tried regular size gates and he jumped them. Bought the playpen, he jumped it. I bought the cover for the playpen and sewed it on, he chewed through and got out. I tried this product thinking it was great because it was high enough that he couldn't jump it. He chewed the metal grating and got out. I'm sure it's fine for a "normal" dog but did not work for mine. February 18, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by AbuelaLinda Good height, lightweight n easy to manipulate I loved the idea of a safety gate instead of a kennel. Although, if your dog is determined to get out, he'll do it! Our 15 lb dog chewed a corner and pulled out the wire mesh. Making a hole that he was able to get out. But I'm glad we didn't pay a lot for the safety gate. April 5, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mariah Nice looking gate. This gate is attractive and so far my 4 month old kittens have not gotten over it. However, it is somewhat difficult to manage by one person. The locking feature catches on the mesh when trying to slide open the two panels. Also, if you are using it in a hallway with baseboards it will not extend to the wall to create tension. October 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Coco512 Nice tall gate This gate is extra tall for big dogs. It's great! Works great with my German Shepherd. March 26, 2015

I am getting conflicting info from my pediatrician and webites on how to track developmental milestones for my son (born 33W, 5D). Should I track from DOB or from expected delivery date? Also, any good preemie websites for reference? He's 10 weeks old now and just starting to track movement. Thanks in advance.

I pay attention to both. I got a good list off marchofdimes.com - search milestones. I have a brochure from the NICU I mark off every month or so - I did it tonight. My LO was 10 weeks early. He's been smack inbetween birthday and EDD. Arround 9 mos he was on track for 90% of his gross motor skills. Vocal he's closer to his Adjusted/EDD tracking.

I was told to go by her adjusted age which is my EDD until she is 2 years. Then I can look at her DOB.

Sound good
2010 Nissan Frontier SE
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
These speakers are really good replacements for factory speakers , But do not bolt up directly to factory mounts in a Nissan, Two opposite holes lined up cross ways, the other two had to drill holes or use self tappers. With use of factory head unit reduced volume due to 4ohm vs. 2ohm, stockers. But turn it up and these speakers really shine.
Pros: Well made, Sound great.
Cons: Do not directly bolt up.

On a chilly day in February Pip headed out to a little office in Guildford in order to explore a tiny fraction of No Man's Sky [official site], the sandbox exploration survival universe created by Hello Games. Here's what she found:
"You're dying from the cold and you're being chased by two tigers but… 'This is a nice plant'?!"
Hello Games' managing director Sean Murray is watching me as I play a build of No Man's Sky. I have stopped to admire a leaf. In my defence, it's a pretty leaf. In Murray's, there are indeed two tigers and I'm dying from the cold.

More on Libranet 2.7
After reading the product review of Libranet on this web site, I decided to give it a try. $100 and two weeks later I feel I have something more to say.
I was about to leave on a trip to the Caribbean and had decided not to try the install until I returned. I intended to take my Fujitsu laptop with SuSE 8.0 on the trip and be done with it.
But I had a few hours to kill the night before the I left, and I was frustrated by SuSE 8.1 not dealing correctly with APM on my IBM Thinkpad. This surprised me because 7.3 had worked fine. As SuSE 8.1 wasn't working, I hadn't loaded any user files on the Thinkpad--so I decided to see what Libranet 2.7 would do.
About an hour later I had the answer. It loaded flawlessly and recognized the video, sound and APM. So the Fujitsu came out of my bag and the Thinkpad went in.
We already did a product review, so that isn't my focus. Rather, I want to talk about the future of Linux on the desktop and how Libranet fits in.
I have been living in Costa Rica since January of this year. Besides a cultural change, there is a difference in which Linux distributions are popular. In the US, I saw more Red Hat and SuSE boxes than anything else. SSC, the parent company of Linux Journal, runs on Debian and seemed to be the exception. When I got here I saw servers running Debian, Slackware and Mandrake. Desktops were primarily Mandrake.
I wondered why there was this difference. Now I see two reasons for it, and the first is money. With a lot less disposable income, people are more likely to go for what is available for free. The second thing is marketing. With Linux vendors spending virtually no marketing dollars here, adoption depends a lot on word of mouth. Once someone picks something, they will spread the word. This fact, to me, is good. It doesn't make us any advertising revenue, but it does mean people talk to each other as in the early days of Linux.
Now, on to my personal prejudice--I like Debian. I have always liked it for a number of reasons. The sense of community is a big one. That is, there is a lot of overlap between the Debian developer and the Debian user communities. Thus, changes tend to address users' needs.
In addition, I have watched the RPM-based distributions add things that existed in Debian a long time ago. Real dependencies and on-line updates come to mind. I described Debian as "easy to install" in an LJ article about five years ago, and although it has remained at that same level of easiness, other distributions have raised the easiness bar.
When Corel Linux came out a few years ago, I had high hopes that it could be "desktop Debian". For a number of reasons, many of them political, it didn't happen. Thus, Debian has remained the first choice for many of the hard-core users, but it didn't make a serious dent in the desktop market.
Enter Libranet. It doesn't have all the glitz of, for example, a SuSE system, but it installs very easily. It reminds me of Mandrake--less fancy but very functional.
Where would I recommend Libranet? Well, if my neighbor wanted a desktop Linux distribution, I would be comfortable recommending it. Or if a company had Debian servers, Libranet could be just the ticket for moving desktops to Linux.
The future? I had thought the RPM vs. Deb war was over. Now I must reconsider. There are a lot of Deb packages out there, and with Libranet making it easy for a novice to get to them, I see a future. I see this as a chance for the hard-core Debian geeks to embrace new users without having to learn about that which they don't use.
Go Libranet. You might be "community Linux" for the desktop.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide
