Unhappy Anniversary
This little news tidbit brings some warmth to my baseball heart:
"Aramis Ramirez will begin baseball-related activities this weekend in Cincinnati."
Today is exactly 4 weeks after the Friday, May 8th injury where Cub third baseman Aramis Ramirez dislocated his left shoulder. If anyone didn't previously appreciate what he brings to the team, they certainly do now after watching the Cubs rbi-less and mostly offensive offense during Ramirez' absence.
ARam is on track outlined in the initial rehab schedule that the Cubs told Tribune beat writer Paul Sullivan one day after the injury. As per the included Lou Piniella quote, we will soon get a better estimate as to ARam's return to the lineup in this phase of his rehab as he resumes baseball activity.
Aramis Ramirez will be in a sling for one week and spend three weeks in non-baseball activities, namely motion and strengthening exercises on his shoulder.
That suggests his stint on the disabled list will probably closer to eight weeks than 4-6, though the Cubs said it's too early to speculate on how long he'll be out of action.
"You're looking at a while," manager Lou Piniella said. "We'll know more after the first month."
The early consensus extimate was 6-8 weeks for this recovery, then add a few games in the minors on a final rehab assignment. Six weeks is vs. the Indians (May 19th) at Wrigley Field but I doubt they will push his rehab that hard although, if he's feeling good it's not impossible, just unlikely. Eight weeks is vs. the Brewers at Wrigley (July 3rd) and 10 weeks is at Washington after the all-star break, July 16th.
I see a hint of light at the end of what seems like a long tunnel.

Re: Unhappy Anniversary
Looks like Bradley will avoid the DL, pinch-hit this weekend, and is slated to return against the Astros:
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
Quote from Pinhead:
''First of all, he's feeling better, which is a good sign in itself,'' Piniella said of the decision process. ''Second of all, we really don't have many options. And third of all, we need him on the roster playing.''
I am glad these guys are running the team and not Doug D.
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
So I'm not next in line to be the Cubs' skipper when Lou retires? Damn.
My desire for Bradley to go on the DL wasn't so that he wouldn't be available to pinch hit. It was so maybe we could avoid trotting his corpse out there in 2011 for $14 million. Since it seems like he may only have to play 75 games for the third year to kick in, that's really a lost cause. As long as Aaron Miles is nowhere near the Cubs, playing with a 23 man roster might not kill us.
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
We've seen this rerun before and he missed more time than they expected.
It's interesting that they've switched managers and trainers and still seem to either be somewhat incompetent with injuries or flat out lying in some cases (not this one). I wonder if the constant in all that is Hendry?
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
Didn't Baseball Prospectus name the 2008 Cubs training staff the best in the majors?
Quit whining about injuries
Re: Quit whining about injuries
Come on, dude. Willie Tavaras going to the DL isn't quiite the same as Aramis Ramirez going to the DL. I agree you have to be able to adapt to injuries and you have to build the team deep and you can't use injuries as an excuse for taking strikes and swinging at balls, but the Cubs have had some big ones like D Lee, Nomar, and now Ramirez.
Re: Quit whining about injuries

Re: Unhappy Anniversary
Barry or corporate?
Hendry Dodged this bullet
During the winter of 2006-2007, Jim Hendry, with John McD's blessing, went hunting for FA pitching that year.
Among the available were: 3/44, V. Padilla, J. Marquis, Ted Lilly, and Barry Zito
Vincente Padilla, who I liked as he threw at some White Sox hitters heads - but also to that point was pretty solid, got DFA'd yesterday: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/ba...
OF the five above, Hendry did a good job here - I have to give him credit at least on the two he chose. His choices this off-season - to date - while suck-ass, are not as bad as the blunders other GM's made with the three other pitchers above.
BTW - I discovered a score card from last August in my bike pannier - Cubs v. Cards @ Wrigley. Edmonds hit two solo jacks that day, and his average was .250 that day.
Re: Hendry Dodged this bullet
I think Gil Meche received some ridiculous contract that year, too if memory serves.
Re: Hendry Dodged this bullet
Padilla was put on outright waivers, more to gauge interest than anything...Rangers can revoke it and most likely will.
May god have pity on my credit card....
I just purchased a new computer.
No thanks at all to the buytransatoshiba.com website.
Now, it just needs to arrive, I need to get it set up, and I need to adjust to a Mac.
And I just need to sell a kidney.
Maybe two.
But it shall mean (assuming the damn thing works) a return of the game recaps, if nothing else.
Re: May god have pity on my credit card....
You're mom needs to sell a kidney.
Re: May god have pity on my credit card....
Maybe we need a "Kidney Now" campaign!
Re: May god have pity on my credit card....
Ha! *high five*

(points and laughs at Cubs)
In 1999, the Twins chose Morneau in the third round. With the next pick, the Montreal Expos chose catcher Drew McMillan.
In 2000, the Twins chose Kubel in the 12th round. With the next pick, the Cubs chose outfielder Antoine Cameron.
In 2001, the Twins chose Mauer with the first overall pick in the draft. With the next pick, the Cubs chose pitcher Mark Prior.
In 2002, the Twins chose Span with the 20th pick in the first round. With the next pick, the Cubs chose pitcher Robert Brownlie.
the goofy writer had to ruin his article with this stupid line, but still interesting:
If the Twins hadn't chosen those four in recent drafts, they'd be the Washington Nationals or the Pittsburgh Pirates, perennial losers that perennially appear clueless. If the Twins hadn't chosen those four, the Chicago Cubs might have banished the Curse of the Billy Goat by now.
awesome that he got a Billy Goat reference in there though...real original...must work for Fox or ESPN in his spare time.
Soriano feeling better
The Cubs avoided another injury scare Wednesday when leadoff man Alfonso Soriano rounded first base hard after a first-inning single and felt a sharp pain in his bruised left knee.
Soriano said he thought he might have to come out of the game, but was surprised when the knee just as suddenly felt great again. He finished the 11-inning game.
''It was the best I felt -- after the first inning -- since I first got hurt,'' said Soriano, who speculated he might have broken through some scar tissue. ''I hope it's over now, and I can steal some bases tomorrow.''
He had been bothered by the knee since banging it on the wall at Wrigley Field chasing a double off the wall April 22.
Re: Soriano feeling better
I'm no doctor, but healthy knees don't do this, right?
Re: Soriano feeling better
Whatever excuse you need to sleep better at night, Soriano!
And here's a tip - you have to get on base in order to steal... First things first!!
Alfonso Soriano rounded first base hard... after watching him lollygag all the way from the box to second base on his double down the line against the Dodgers on the Sunday night game, this must be a misprint!!
Re: Soriano feeling better
our .301 ob% leadoff hitter with the most power on the team might not be able to steal those 10-15 bases this year if this keeps up.
Mike Wellman should be happy...
Harden and Aaron Miles to make appearances in Iowa this weekend...
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
"Harden and Aaron Miles to make appearances in Iowa this weekend..."
No chance Miles stays there, huh?
Trying to complete all the transactions on Wiklifield and came across this in 1987.
September 22: RHP Dickie Noles loaned to the Detroit Tigers.
October 23: RHP Dickie Noles returned to the Chicago Cubs.
what the hell is that? Noles pitched in 4 games and ended up getting 2 saves for the Tigers. He didn't pitch in the postseason and I assume he wasn't eligible and I'm just hoping this is Retrosheet/BR being confused about a transaction.
Re: Randomness...
Rob -
I did find this article:
In it, it states that:
This isn't the first time the Tigers have traded a player for himself. In 1987, the Tigers acquired reliever Dickie Noles from the Cubs for a player to be named later.
The player to be named later? Dickie Noles.
Re: Randomness...
The Tigers are clearly trying to mess with the system. In Campusano's case though, he was returned as part of the Rule 5 draft rules. Due to his injury, he didn't spend enough time on the active roster for the Tigers and then they offered him back to the Cubs the next season.
Re: what the hell is that?
Well, Noles was traded for a PTBNL but they couldn't agree on the player.
It's rare, and probably should be prohibited, but that wasn't the first time it's happened.
Re: what the hell is that?
Can we "borrow" a few star players from non-contending teams and then trade them back at the end of the season? That works for me!!
Maybe we can get Peavy or Heath Bell or Adrian Gonzalez on "loan"...
Vitters named to All-Star Team
Josh Vitters, Kyler Burke and Josh Harrison were named starters for the MWL East Division squad while Rebel Ridling, Chris Carpenter and Ryan Buchter were listed as reserves.
Draft preview by Muskat
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
Pretty good column from the WWL today on the Ron Washington/Nolan Ryan rift. I didn't really know any of that was even going on:
There's certainly some fluff in there, but I think it'll be interesting to see what happens if the Rangers keep playing as well as they are right now.
Recent comments
Lester has given up one run or fewer in 11 starts this year. So I'd answer yes. Three of his last four starts were duds, yes. Not worried about him at all. Arrieta is concerning, to be sure. I look it at as, what he was doing was historic, so the regression was bound to happen. He showed in his start against the Mets that he's still capable, and I'd bet on him regaining his form.
marlins getting a.cashner and c.rea from SD
This is not an attack...But In what stat are the Cubs second from last in MLB, in hitting? I don't see this.
How odd the stats:
Cubs 1st in pitching in MLB
2nd to last in hitting.
In May they were 1st in both.
trevor clifton (high-A) could be interesting in a couple seasons...could even become a high/middle rotation guy. he's got a lot of pluses in his pitching except control.
eric leal's (high-A) progression through the minors should be worth watching even if only projects to be an mid/end-rotation starter.
we also gotta keep a long-distance eye on guys like jose paulino (ss-A) and preston morrison (A).
As Johnny Bach used to say when it was time for the MJ Bulls to crank up the defensive pressure: "Release the Dobermans!", and Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and Harper would just suffocate the other team.
I'd love to add Carl Jr. to that group - he's got the stuff.
Historically, the Moneyball guys have been great at identifying productive hitters. Not so much with pitchers.
Wow - Pierce Johnson with an ERA of 8.01 in 42IP!
What a stud prospect! Must be pitching with a pierced johnson.
Looks like Ryan Williams is the only legit prospect there. That is sad...
Well it would seem that's all they need now. "Stropy" can have his moments, but he's been more consistent post-asg.
Take THAT, Cardinals -- you beat Fernandez, we beat Sale.
I really like Lackey as a 6-inning pitcher.
Three amigos? Because the Dominican, the Venezuelan, and the Cuban?
Maybe the three-headed dragon?
Who says Contreras can't frame? Stone cold robbery of Eaton with that called third strike for the first out in the eighth
Three amigos time?
he should hit more of those. that would be an ideal outcome. /moneyballs
Russell with 19 RBI in July so far. Grand Slams help.
...and Familia with back-to-back blown saves. Blows a one-run lead vs. Rockies today, gets his 2nd consecutive loss.
I am OK with the Mets missing the playoffs and suffering crushing losses at home --- just want them to beat St. Louis.
He played with fire twice agains the Cubs -- unfortunately, the Cubs couldn't stop swinging.

Christmas in July! Getting a package from Elizabeth is the high point of the day.
Making art is what I do for work and for pleasure
I'm a trained graphic designer (BFA from Parsons)- but a self-taught painter. That combination has influenced most aspects of my path as an artist. That design background almost always permeates my art (and the things I collect).
I started out as a graphic designer with so many not-for-profit clients (with no budgets)- I began illustrating my own designs in order bring my concepts to life. The funny thing about entering illustration via design- every design is different- so everything I illustrated was different as well. Most illustrators I know do one look and do it very, very well. I wound up creating with a wide range of styles and mediums.
I took the leap about 15 years ago and decided to pursue Commercial Illustration full-time. Morgan Gaynin Inc. took me under their wing- and have represented my commercial illustration ever since.
In the long run it has turned out wonderfully. I have had the opportunity to illustrate a sweet and painterly Children's book 'Two Scarlet Songbirds' while simultaneously creating a very urban, gritty collage for the cover of the Notorious B.I.G. CD 'Duets'. Very satisfying.
The one unifying thing has been and most probably will be, this marriage of art and design in my work. There's always some kind of order to things- a graphic simplicity- or organized chaos. I often use typography as a primary or secondary element.
Creating mixed-media pieces thrills me. I love giving new life to a discarded object. And the hunt for interesting elements is certainly part of the fun.
Among my favorite mediums- acrylic paint, oil paint, spray paint, ephemera, reclaimed wood, anything typographical or vintage.

S.L. County settles 2011 lawsuit over man's unlawful detainment for immigration status check
SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake County has settled a lawsuit filed on behalf of a man held in the Salt Lake County Jail and by federal authorities for 46 days after he posted court-ordered bail.
The plaintiff, Enrique Uroza, was detained by the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office to check his immigration status, which the county officials believed was required under SB81, passed by the Utah Legislature in 2008.
Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder said in a news briefing Monday afternoon that he was pleased to work with the ACLU of Utah and private attorneys who represented Uroza in a "mutually agreeable settlement" of claims against the county. Claims against the federal government and federal agents are ongoing.
Under the settlement, Uroza will receive $75,000 for damages, attorneys' fees and costs.
Salt Lake County has also agreed to permanently end its "SB81 procedure" under which it held detainees whom jail officials suspected of being undocumented immigrants for at least 48 hours.
"The county conceded that the jail's SB81 procedure was unconstitutionally implemented as it applied to Mr. Uroza, which was an unintended consequence of the jail's attempt to comply with the state Legislature's SB81 bill enacted in 2008. The county suspended the policy in 2011," the ACLU of Utah said in a news release issued Monday.
The county further agreed to an ongoing dialogue with Uroza's counsel about its current policies and procedures relating to jail detainees and immigration issues, according to the ACLU of Utah.
While many community members and law enforcement representatives lobbied against the passage of SB81, the bill passed both houses of the Utah Legislature by a wide margin.
SB81 stated that county sheriffs "shall make a reasonable effort to determine the citizenship status of a person charged with a felony or driving under the influence when the person is confined to the county jail for a period of time."
After passage of the law, the sheriff's office consulted with the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office for guidance how to implement the policy.
"Part of the issue is our reading of the law. Our perception was SB81 was mandatory. Subsequent review of that statute suggests it's permissive. The language is essentially telling us 'we should,' not that 'we must,'" Winder said.
The current policy at the jail is all inmates are treated the same at booking, irrespective of immigration status, Winder said. However, if inmates tell jail officers they were born outside the United States, their files are placed in a bin apart from those of other inmates. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has the responsibility to review those records, Winder said.
Uroza, who at the time was a sophomore at Weber State University with no criminal history other than a minor traffic ticket, appeared in state court in June 2011 to face forgery and theft charges. His bail was set at $5,000, and a judge remanded him to the county jail for processing.
Uroza was booked into custody at 2:34 p.m. on June 13, and his bail bond was posted approximately 10 minutes later, according to the complaint. Despite the bail order, Winder and his officers refused to release Uroza, the lawsuit stated.
Uroza, in a statement released when the lawsuit was filed, said he took action "not just to vindicate my rights, but to protect the rights of everyone who has been or would otherwise be subjected to indefinite detention by the police."
John Mejia, legal director for the ACLU of Utah, expressed gratitude to the county and Winder "for their willingness to carefully look at their jail policies and to permanently end the SB81 procedure."

Paranoid Penguin - Security Features in Debian 3.1
I'd be remiss if I didn't at least briefly discuss one of my favorite characteristics of Debian, and the main reason I'm running it on my new Web server—Debian's relatively glacial release schedule. On the one hand, the delay in releasing Debian 3.1 (three years, or 21 dog/computer years after 3.0) was a bit extreme, and the Debian team has pledged a more predictable release cycle, probably one year from now on. But it's also true that stability enhances security.
Put another way, if you use Debian to run the latest desktop applications, or other things that depend on the very latest hardware drivers, you may be happier with the Debian variant Ubuntu, which has a predictable and short (six-month) release cycle. If, however, you want to build an appliance system that chugs along in a corner, requiring little ongoing maintenance other than regular security patches, Debian's longer release cycle is positively luxurious. In many situations, it's preferable to run somewhat-outdated but fully security-patched applications than it is to have to upgrade the entire operating system every six months (or sooner). I admit, however, that I am among the world's laziest system administrators!
Like UNIX itself, Debian provides the security-minded user with maximal power, flexibility and variety of tools, at the cost of complexity. Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 is probably not for you if you have an aversion to man pages or Google. But it's very flexible indeed. This article scratches only the surface of Debian's potential as a platform for secure server operations or for security scanning and auditing.
Next month, I'll conclude my "Security Features" trilogy with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Until then, take care!

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
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

- The only CAD software that you can actually design with
- Automatically generate customizable structure & build your details
- Model with manufacturers products & materials, or create your own
- Perform unprecedented Feasibility Studies (with no extra work)
- Estimate faster than traditional methods and end error & oversight
- The perfect balance between Design and Construction
- Communication is key: Produce professional 3D/2D Documentation
- Perform complex tasks, simply
PlusSpec 2016+ is here!
You're probably thinking: 'But you just released PlusSpec 2016 – what else could be new?!'
PlusSpec is for…
- Used by Professionals in over 80 Countries
- The most easy-to-use, powerful & affordable BIM software in the world
- Specializing in Residential Construction
PlusSpec is the most innovative 3D & 2D CAD Software
PlusSpec has made Building Information Modelling how it is meant to be: Powerful, Simple, and Sophisticated.
Everything that you draw in PlusSpec is filled with information, such as: product names, specifications, installation instructions/guides, warranties, and so on.
It is also parametric, which means that you never have to draw something twice. If you want to make a change, you can do it with a simple click of a button.
PlusSpec for SketchUp is the worlds most powerful Virtual Design & Construction software, making it the perfect balance between design and construction.
You will be able to quickly model 3D & 2D details to better design and clarify complex conditions, and to communicate your intent in a way that is understood by everyone.
Design it right the first time by virtually building it with PlusSpec for SketchUp.
PlusSpec uses real manufacturers products from the free RubySketch online library, and generates automatic specifications and product schedules.
Material and Product quantities and estimates are formulated as you design, allowing you to generate reports and BOQ's at the click of a button.
Stop wasting away your hours tediously preparing quantity take-offs, and losing money through errors and oversights.
- Estimating & Material Take-offs at the click of a button
- Unrivalled Feasibility Studies: Understand cost implications in Real Time
- Design & Estimate with Real Products from Real Manufacturers
What Makes PlusSpec different to other BIM & Estimating Software?
PlusSpec has simplified the complexities of designing, drafting and estimating. In short, we have made the difficult things simple. In the words of Steve Jobs, 'Simplicity is the ultimate Sophistication'.
BIM should make your life easier, not harder
The truth is that current BIM software have innumerable complexities and constraints – especially for Residential design and construction. They are incredibly difficult to learn, cost a vast sum of money to purchase and upskill staff (which is why the vast majority of practices do not even provide sufficient training), as well as prolonged periods of unproductiveness. Complexity also breeds specialization. Software specialization is bad news for Architects, Builders and Estimators. Why? Architects need to focus on design. Builders need to focus on construction. And Estimators/Quantity Surveyors need to focus on estimating. Software is merely a tool – an evolution of the pencil and paper, which should simply allow you to work faster and smarter.
- PlusSpec allows you to do more for less. Be aware of cost implications as your designs change.
- Unlike any other BIM & Estimating software, you can actually design in 3D/CAD. PlusSpec for SketchUp is the first true Virtual Design & Construction software.
- Your projects will actually contain all of the Information inside of the model, in both visual and data format (not just data format, like most of our competitors) & focuses on real products. If you specify a particular type of insulation, you will actually see it; if you specify a glazing/energy rating, it will be represented visually, inside the model.
- Unlike most of our competitors, which have been designed primarily for Design Professionals, PlusSpec has been designed for the Construction Industry also.
- PlusSpec is the first BIM software that also suits the needs of Volume Builders.
- Maximize your profits
- Increase your efficiency
- Enrich your workflow
Will PlusSpec suit my Country?
There is only one Version of PlusSpec, which allows the user to:
- Use either Metric or Imperial units.
- Choose the Material library from your region – or switch between material libraries.
- Customize & create your own libraries, materials & products.
What Languages are currently available?
PlusSpec 2015 is available in English only.
What Material Libraries are currently available?
- Australia, USA, UK.
- More Coming Soon!
No problem!:
- Simply choose a Material library that is close to your region.
- Customize & create your own materials (from local manufacturers, or generic content).
The ease of Customization is one of the most powerful features of PlusSpec!
Although we would like to have every product, from every Manufacturer in the world, available inside of PlusSpec, it is simply not feasible.
Even if your Country does not have a specific Material library available at this point in time, it will not impact your workflow – as either way, you will be customizing and creating your own materials & libraries.
- PlusSpec is the BIM solution that SketchUp users have been waiting for
- The best of BIM (PlusSpec) & Freeform 3D (SketchUp)
- Complete Customization
Compatible with PC, Mac + SketchUp 2014 and above only

Skip to comments.WMF (Windows meta file) exploit
Posted on 01/02/2006 5:07:56 AM PST by KeyWest
Looking forward to the week ahead, I find myself in the very peculiar position of having to say something that I don't believe has ever been said here in the Handler's diary before: "Please, trust us."
I've written more than a few diaries, and I've often been silly or said funny things, but now, I'm being as straightforward and honest as I can possibly be: the Microsoft WMF vulnerability is bad. It is very, very bad.
(Excerpt) Read more at isc.sans.org ...
In essence, if you are using MSIE you are particularly vulnerable. Firefox and Moz give an intermediate step that can protect you if you know about the exploit, but most people do not and will open the "picture".
I have been around since 1998, and post infrequently, but this is a potential major problem. There has been one other post on the problem, but few saw it.
Foxnews.com had a story about this yesterday, I sent the link to my friends and family.
You're right, this one is gonna be a major problem until they get a patch issued.
Don't you love MS development strategy? "Get it to market first, then finish programming."
OK. I see it was the link to FR that showed up as a 404 and now works.
Please change the date - it was not a year ago...
As I said, I post infrequently... :)
Shoot, fella- I know you-- haven't "talked" to you for a while, but you go back farther on this site than I do... you're an Oldtimer.
I have some links handy ( rummaging around old files hastily )...
For video players that can handle other formats, give your friends these links -
Subnote: V-lan works fine on my home machines- others I know swear it "hosed my codecs"- so be advised I provide that and other links on a "use with caution" basis.
Thanks for the heads up. Once again this proves the worth of Free Republic and its posters.
I wouldn't know sans.org from Adam's housecat.
Amazing. This post has been up for almost an hour, and we haven't had anyone post "Free Republic isn't a computer forum, blah, blah, blah..."
My late Mom's favorite variant of that was "wouldn't know him from a load of coal." ( She grew up in coal country )
Not surprisingly ( since we have so many people from different backgrounds ) some of the best and fastest computer advice I have gotten has been right here.
There are some very good computer forums- Geeks to Go, VirtualDr, and others- but we're pretty durn good, too.
Well, thank you both for the background. Not being in IT, it is hard to know who or what to trust. I downloaded the patch with (seemingly) no ill effects.
What is it with mother's sayings? That one is straight from mine's lips! LOL
They know they'd get their asses handed to them. ;-)
I'm going to think about it for a while before I do anything with it.
The unofficial patch seems to revolve around the desire to show images whilst Netting. I've de-registered, and I'm only allowing images from the originating site (FireFox). I'm thinking about disallowing images totally, until the official patch comes out, but who knows how long Redmond is going to take.
Looks like some EXCELLENT info, KW.
I've been in the software development business for over 20 years. Trust me, MS is not the only company that this applies to.
But you are never really "finished programming". And at some point, you have to release or you will never get a product out the door.
If everything released was "finished", wouldn't everything be at version 1.0 - heck, version numbers wouldn't even be necessary.
Is Linux "finshed"? Oracle? etc. etc.
I'm not trying to absolve MS, but I don't hold them up to any higher standard than I would any other company because I've been on the other side of things, and there is NO major piece of software out there that is perfectly written.
But you'd think so if you read the various anti-MS blogs - you find all of the perfect programmers there who never have written code with a bug in their lives. :-)
Thanks Bump
Thank you. Fix seems to be running okay.
Dang. You mean it ISN'T a computer forum?
| Well, if Forbin can
cut the Colossus links to
Guardian we can
get back to chatting
about news and politics.
Till then, it's tech stuff . . .
What i naive comment. EVERY company releases software before it is finished: name one that doesn't.
No one who programs can say that their software is complete and bug-free. Hell, even if it's just 1 line of code you still can't be certain due to the code that runs under yours.
Program a little, put it in production, and see how much crap people find: it is truly astonishing. Do it without a profit motive and they will actually find more because you aren't as careful.
I don't code, but I see lots of parallels to confirm the truth in that.
Humans (we) are monkeys with typewriters. If you want something broke or exploited, release it to the masses. As sure as God made little green apples, it is going to break.
I don't necessarily hold it against MS or Apple when they release an OS update and something doesn't work. That happens. I hold it against them when they don't fix it ASAP when it is discovered.
I am much more critical of software companies...they have a more focused approach, and testing can be much more rigorous. Their products should be cleaner and more functional on first releases, IMHO.
Here is an example of someone complaining about using FR for computer help.
I actually got more answers, faster, here than on VirtualDr a couple of years ago- we have around 233,000 members now, but even then, with so many different people, professions, hobbies, etc., you can get just about any question answered, or get pointed in the right direction.
I suspect it's worse than that. Probably something more like. "Start coding, we'll design it later"
You don't necessarily know what the issue is when a problem is discovered. I once spent 2 days tracking down a misplaced semicolon. You can bet the MS coders are pouring through it but even when you find it, you have to assess the impact on the other code for a fix. People act as if there is a behemoth behind all of this but my guess is that the load falls on a small number of coders to get it isolated and corrected.
Microsoft tests their code base on more than 10,000 software configurations and probably has a better QA department than any other software firm. That said, things get through. QA tests are only as good as who made the tests and they don't predict the real world use.
Imagine a machine where there are 200 million moving parts. You can work your tail off to isolate all possible failures but it is a bitch to get it 100% correct. Sure, we all want more stable software products but get into the code side and see how complex these things are. You have to realize that software is THE most complex thing ever created by human beings and we're are certainly not perfect.
Personally, I am suprised that Windows and its programs work as well as they do. I give Microsoft credit for making the best software available...period.
I kind of give them credit for that as well. To put out releases that don't break hardware and software is a real feat.
I saw their next O\S (Vista) in alpha mode running a 1985ish program at the last TechEd. They really strive to make things work in today's world but not break what runs yesteryear. That takes feats of programming. As a coder, I respect that level of effort.
Dude, the people who PUBLISHED the "new and improved" version are supposed to be on OUR side. Or at least they CLAIM to be.
I have to agree with the author. What a bonehead move on somebody's part.
Yeah - but al baby put him in his place...
Ain't it the truth?
What's worse is when you read the code, and your MIND sticks the semicolon in there...
That's usually another several hours, depending on how computer-melted your brain is by that time.

If you have a machine with 200 million moving parts, the engineers aren't just addressing the problem. The engineers are the problem.
Personally, I am suprised that Windows and its programs work as well as they do. I give Microsoft credit for making the best software available...period.
Except for all the others.
I don't seem to see anything telling what the symptoms are.
It's not a virus it's an exploit. A means of gaining access to your computer. A malicious person can do *anything* he wants using this exploit.
It looks pretty serious. I would suggest at the very least performing the Microsoft workaround mentioned on the various sites linked here.
Otherwise, I would suggest you not continue reading FR, since any hack DU clown could post a malicious image in a thread here and you are done.
As I understand it, anyway.
Some screen shots here on this FR post.
Dulls the entire FR experience, but Safety Pup says...
I was referring to the comment in the article about the "irresponsibility" of the person(s) who wrote the virus and released it into the wild on a holiday weekend. The people writing the fix, or those of us who may have to get this fixed know that referring to people who write viruses as irresponsible is just plain wrong. Irresponsible indicates a capacity for responsibilty, and those people are defined simply by the lack of it.
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for your help! I deregistered the .dll and increased my internet security in IE to high.
If I may venture an analogy, it's like discovering that you can't lock your doors. The point isn't to dust for prints or inventory what's missing; it's to tighten up before someone strolls in.
As mentioned before, this is an exploit and not a virus. It is a backdoor way into your computer. WMF (windows meta files) are pictures that can execute programs. This is similar to the problem of Windows Word DOC files that can execute macros or Outlook email messages that can execute scripts.
A malicious person can do all sorts of nasty things to your PC like formatting your C drive or simply using it to distribute child pornography via "zombie" bots. Most of those denial of service attacks on Google and Amazon come from compromised PCs. An enterprising individual can compromise and gain control of thousands of PCs. Imagine what you could do with a thousand PCs under your remote control.
You can access a WMF file via your browser or via an email message. There was a report of a contamination on a "trusted" website, so there is a significant risk.
Steve Gibson's website www.grc.com has a lot on exploits including this one.
As mentioned on another site, a malicious program may be able to re-register that DLL or even a normal application may re-register that DLL in regular activities. There is a lot of criticism of that "workaround".
BTW, changing IE's security higher will not stop this exploit. Turning off the viewing of images will stop it temporarily.
Thanks for the additional info. This is scary.

It's not contagious. Certain genes make you more likely to get it. If you have this condition, a glitch in your immune system tells your skin to grow too fast. Your body can't shed these skin cells fast enough. Instead, they pile up, causing redness with flaky, silvery white scales. Your skin can become sore and itchy.
Scalp, knees, or elbows
Feet, face, or shoulders
Tummy, neck, or hands
Symptoms can show up anywhere on your body, though -- even your eyelids, mouth, and ears. Your doctor may give you pills or creams, or suggest other things -- like getting more sunlight -- to help you feel better. It all depends on how severe your case is and where it is.
Dry air and cold temperatures can be tough on anyone's skin. If you have psoriasis, it's important to keep your skin from getting dry. When it's cold, you may need to use moisturizer more often. A humidifier will help, too. Lots of people with the skin condition say it gets better in the summer, when they can get out in the sun.
Another option is phototherapy (light therapy), where you expose your skin to ultraviolet light. The UV light can slow the growth of affected cells. You first have treatments at a doctor's office. Your doctor might have you follow up with a portable light at home.
Symptoms come and go, but some things can trigger them. Stress; strep throat; cold, dry weather; and certain medications are common psoriasis triggers. Skin injuries like a cut, scratch, or bad sunburn can also bring on symptoms.
There's little evidence to show that food has a major effect on this disorder. But if your itching and inflammation get worse after eating a certain food, you might want to stop eating it for a few weeks and see what happens.
Some people find that bathing in oils or bath salt soothes their skin. Don't use water that's too hot, though. That can irritate your skin and make it drier. Keep it to less than 10 minutes, too. And if you go for a swim in a pool, always rinse off afterward, because the chlorine in the water can also dry your skin.
Up to half of people with the condition see changes in their nails, which can separate from the skin of the nail bed and change in thickness and color. To protect your nails, keep them short and wear gloves when you work with your hands. Wear cotton or vinyl gloves, not latex. Prescription paint-on nail treatments can also help. It is OK to wear regular nail polish, too.
After bathing
Before bed
You can also cool lotions in the fridge to give your skin an extra treat after a shower. Keep your skin moist to help with redness and itching. This will also help it heal. Heavy creams and ointments lock in water. Cooking oils and shortening also work. Stay away from scented lotions and heavy fragrances, though. They could irritate your skin.
Make sure to shower or bathe soon after a dip in a pool or hot tub, and use lots of moisturizer. Chlorine can irritate and dry out skin.
How itchy your head is
The color of the flakes
Where the flakes are
Dandruff and scalp psoriasis share some of the same symptoms, but they're not the same condition. An itchy scalp and flakes are common to both. But dandruff flakes are greasy and yellowish, while psoriasis looks powdery and has a silver shine. If you have the latter, your doctor may suggest a medicated shampoo or give you medicine to put on your scalp.
If you have psoriatic arthritis, moderate exercise might improve your range of motion, ease joint pain and stiffness, give you more endurance, and make you more flexible.
There's no need to worry about it making your scalp more irritated. Medicated shampoo can soothe your symptoms, and washing helps get rid of extra scales.
It can start at any time. Most people start to show symptoms between the ages of 15 and 30. And most of those who get it have it by 40 -- but it is possible for psoriasis to appear when you're older, especially between 50 and 60 years old.
People who get psoriasis usually have at least one person in their family who has it, too. Still, that doesn't mean everyone who has a relative with the condition will get it.
Here's some good news if you're a curry fan. Diets rich in this bitter yellow spice might lower the inflammation inside your body that fuels psoriasis. Some people have found that turmeric helps when their symptoms flare. Talk to your doctor first if you're thinking about taking it in pill form, or if you want to try other supplements.
Your skin is more sensitive in some places than in others. How doctors treat it depends on how severe it is and where it is on your body.
You correctly answered out of questions.
Well done! Your knowledge of psoriasis is much more than skin deep.
Way to go! When it comes to separating psoriasis fact from fiction, you're got it covered.
Don't let your score get under your skin. Study up about psoriasis and take the quiz again for a more soothing result.

Alpine eX-10 iPod controller with Bluetooth
Alpine has really jumped on board the iPod and MP3 player bandwagon when it comes to in-car entertainment, and offers a range of head units that'll allow you to connect your player to make your music collection accessible on the move.
The eX-10 is a little different in that it aims to offer access to both your iPod and mobile phone through any existing car stereo using an FM transmitter.
It comes with a terminal designed to be mounted to the dash that offers a 2.2in colour display to help you browse your collection, manage phone calls and adjust settings. This needs to be wired directly to a power hub that plugs into a cigarette lighter charger and in turn connects to your iPod.
There is a remote control supplied that controls the main display to help you browse via artist/album/genre views as seen on your iPod, and you'll find album art displayed here, though no provision for photo or video playback.
Getting everything connected up is pretty easy, but doing it in a tidy way that won't leave wires strewn around the place is not. Though you can experiment with tucking cables behind the dash you'll still need to have the rather bulky hub protruding from your cigarette lighter, which is far from ideal.
In terms of performance we were impressed by the quality of the display and FM transmitter, which is easy to configure and among the best we've heard in terms of clarity. Usability isn't up to scratch though, with menus often sluggish and unresponsive to browse using the supplied remote.
To use the Bluetooth handsfree calling with your mobile you'll need to connect yet another lengthy wire to the device from the supplied microphone, which can be fitted to a part of your dashboard using the sticky pads supplied. As is the case with so many of these products call quality wasn't great with a distinct pause making it awkward to hold long conversations.
Elsewhere there are some basic features that offer a bit more control like a graphic equaliser for your tunes and the ability to browse contacts and view caller ID for your phone, but there are far too many basic problems with the device for these to hold much water.
At the end of the day there are far better ways to access your iPod's collection in your car, some of which are provided by Alpine itself, and the problems we had with setup, usability and performance of the eX-10 means that you're better off looking elsewhere.
The main appeal of this device is the fact that you can use it with any car stereo, but you can achieve many of the same advantages by buying a dedicated FM transmitter. The eX-10 is a nice idea but has been quite poorly executed and considering the price, you'd be better off doing this instead and accessing your iPod directly, or buying a head unit that offers similar support.

Tea Party darling Representative Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) recently stated that she was satisfied with President Obama's certificate of live birth. During an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopolous, Rep. Bachmann declared that the so-called "birther" issue was "over" and that the controversy was settled.
Thanks to Donald Trump and his billion-dollar-network bully pulpit, the issue of President Obama's birthplace (and the related issue of why he's never released a long-form birth certificate) is not going away.
Earlier this week, mainstream media mainstay CNN published a story with the headline: "Who's Really Eligible to be President?" In the opinion piece, the author, Gabriel "Jack" Chin, Professor of Law at the University of Arizona's Rogers College, immediately telegraphs his own take on the issue with the following opening paragraph:
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has taken President Obama to task for his policies on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. �One of the side effects, one of the things we need to recover from is the administration impos[ing] a one-size-fits-all moratorium after the spill," he stated. "We want drilling to be done safely but we don�t want to lose thousands of jobs down here.�
Donald Trump's IdeologyWritten by Bob Adelmann
When potential Presidential candidate Donald Trump was asked by George Stephanopoulos, host of ABC's "Good Morning America", what he would do, as President, about soaring gasoline prices, he replied:
National Insecurity — Part 1: A Culture of Federal Corruption and CollusionWritten by Beverly K. Eakman
The nation's porous borders took front and center stage this week, as unconnected, but surprisingly related, news items highlighted the lack of political will at the top to stem illegal immigration or even provide a credible approach to national security.

Phoenix Ranked 7th Worst City to Live by Wallet Pop Blogger. Bases Ranking On, You Guessed it, Immigration
SB 1070 has gone into effect, albeit a neutered version, and the sky didn't come crashing to the ground, the streets didn't fill with blood, and Latinos haven't been rounded up like cattle -- yet, anyway.
Despite the world not coming to an end when Arizona's controversial, new immigration law took effect, the state's image has taken a hit, and its capitol city, Phoenix, is now considered one of the worst cities in the country in which to live.
According to rankings created by the popular Web site WalletPop.com, Phoenix is the seventh-worst city in which to live, thanks, primarily, to SB 1070 and the all the hubub it's created.
See what Wallet Pop had to say about our fair city after the jump:
If Arizona's tough immigration laws gets through the courts, Phoenix is going to be a much more difficult place for immigrants (or really anyone of Latino origin) to live in. The law would allow police officers to ask people for proof of their legal status when stopping them for another violation. Charges of racial profiling and discrimination can quickly turn a city into one of the worst places to live, and its already sparking huge protests and impacting Arizona's already-fragile economy.
Beyond the controversial immigration measure, Arizona's housing market still remains a mess. According to RealtyTrac's latest foreclosure report, Phoenix and its surrounding area remain among the top-10 worst metro markets when it comes to foreclosures. However, in May, foreclosure activity in the city was down 9% from May 2009, offering a tiny sliver of hope.
Phoenix also ranks poorly among metro areas in per capita income growth. Between 2007 and 2008, the city's income growth shrank 1.4 percent, the nation's worst one-year loss. And let's not forget about being able to breathe in Phoenix. For year-round particle pollution from freeways, power plants, and other sources, Phoenix is the worst city in the country.

How Sharpen works Photoshop CC
How sharpening works
This chapter is all about sharpening. That is, editing an image to make its details appear more sharply defined. It's important to note that we're not talking about focus. Photoshop can not reach back into your camera and adjust the optical focus of your lens element. Nor can it invent detail that does not exist. In other words. If an image was shot blurry, it will remain blurry. What Photoshop can do is take a well focused image, and make every detail appear crystal clear.
Either on screen or in print. Photoshop pulls off this effect using a kind of parlor trick. It finds the edges in your image. Which are areas where neighboring pixels transition rapidly from light to dark. For example, in this photo the edges are the outline of the butterflies body, and the patterns inside the wings. Then photoshop traces razor thin halos around the edges. The halos appear bright on the light side of the edge.
And dark on the dark side. This renders the edges in high contrast, which our eyes read as more sharply...

Bath resident feels welcome at Richfield center
To the editor:
May I suggest to the editor that [letter to the editor writers] not criticize the Richfield Senior Center without investigating the facts. The facts are that the Richfield Senior Center does have members from Bath and other surrounding communities.
All members pay dues, and members from outside of Richfield pay slightly higher dues. I have been a member of the Richfield Senior Center for several years and feel very welcomed.

Ceragon Networks (CRNT -15.9%), a maker of mobile backhaul infrastructure gear, gets crushed after reporting Q3 results. While revenue of of $116.1M (+86% Y/Y) and EPS of $0.02 beat consensus by $2.1M and $0.01, the company is forecasting revenue will grow "at a slower pace than originally expected," due to macro uncertainty and Indian regulatory issues.
Ceragon Networks (CRNT -15.9%), a maker of mobile backhaul infrastructure gear, gets crushed...
Comments (2)
The statement that the 15% drop results from the comment from Ceragon that it will grow at a slower pace is mathematically a ceetainty as the percentage gain over a 100% increase in revenue has to slow. Analysts and traders used this as an excuse to create a profitable trade by issuing negative comments and probably shorting. This is the type of manipulation and industry self serving that destroys investor confidence. the fact is that Ceragon is doing better than well but bnow that tyhe stock has crashed, investors will believe there is something wrong and stand aside while the maniulation continues until the analyst/traders have taken in cheap enough to buy back and then issue positive statements. This is nothing new and one practice which needs regulatory attention

The Crisis Text Line, a 24-hour crisis-counseling hotline, takes text messages from people dealing with everything from domestic violence to suicide and passes the information on to public safety answering points, as appropriate.
Created in 2013 to help people who are in crisis but feel uncomfortable talking over the phone, the Crisis Text Line has received 7.3 million texts from as all 295 area codes in the country and provides a glimpse of the possibilities of a successful next-generation 911 implementation.
The flat IP-architecture of next-generation 911 could allow public safety answering points to specialize in types of issues, like suicide, according to an article in American City and County.

Researchers using the Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN) will be getting a productivity boost when the service upgrades to 40 gigabit/sec.
DREN securely connects five Defense Department supercomputing facilities to 4,300 scientists in over 150 agencies. Fully IPv6-enabled, DREN currently provides connectivity through a mix of Ethernet, IP and optical wavelength services, with speeds varying accordingly. The Navy DOD Supercomputing Resource Center at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, which operates national test facilities for the rocket engine propulsion programs, will be the first of five DREN locations to receive 40 gigabit/sec service.
CenturyLink and LGS Innovations will be performing the upgrade.

The Tennessee Department of Correction has launched a Felony Offender Search app that lets citizens look up information about past and present felons in the state from their mobile devices.
The app's web-based companion, Felony Offender Information Look Up, is one of the state's most used online services, with 2.5 million searches in 2014. With nearly a third of TN.gov visitors using mobile devices, state officials decided creating a mobile version of the program was an opportunity to deliver a more customer-focused tool for citizens.
Users can access an offender's current status, location, sentencing dates and parole eligibility, and even create their own lists for faster access to information about specific offenders.
The Tennessee Felony Offender Search mobile app is available for free for both Apple and Android users.
