Running Time: 83
Director: George Picasso
Company: DMK Media Group

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
If editing tricks don\'t cut it with the customers, point out the Red Fontana/Peris Blue anal scene for the real meat & potatoes.
Here's a real cliffhanger for ya. At tape's end, as a strawberry blonde in a white fur bikini looks like she's about to do something sexually provocative, a "To Be Continued" pops on the screen.
There's not exactly a story-in-progress here, The Strange being, rather, a congestive (you can take this quite literally) ode to a number of obvious gonzo sources including John Leslie, John Stagliano, and the AVID editing bay.
A phantom camera-wielding Buttman character appears to be fighting mucous congestion in his sinus cavities, conducting, as it were, hazy interviews, all of which have a genuine feel for bad delivery. The interviewer, however, proves to be a far more adept lensman, as evidenced by the opening (anal) threeway with Guy DiSilva, Kati and Agi, that works itself under a stark spotlight with some riveting post-production visual strokes thrown in for laughs. The scene reminds you of some of the John Leslie stuff from the Voyeur series.
Though there are a few ingratiating moments here and there, including some nice ass-worshipping courtesy of Brittany Platinum and Autumn Blaze, in the final analysis, technical wizardry carries this one.

Being kidnapped and forced to play the upcoming Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC sounds far more welcoming than having a black sack thrown over your head and being whisked away for, err, less-savory activities. Previously showcased in Infinity Ward's developer trailer, the first of four planned DLC expansions for the title, dubbed "Onslaught," will introduce players to a host of new multiplier maps, two new weapons, and a brand-new add-on "episode" for the game's alien-swarming Extinction mode. Given most Call of Duty commercials adopt a humorous approach to the franchise, it's not surprising to see the developer still running with the gimmick.
The latest live-action trailer for the title follows Stephen Graham — of Snatch, Gangs of New York and Boardwalk Empire fame — and a band of military operatives as they "CODnap" unsuspecting victims caught up in the humdrum of daily life (i.e. attending work soirees, hanging with the girlfriend, grocery shopping with the baby). The trailer also showcases a bit of in-game footage from the forthcoming DLC, and hell, Graham even drops a solid F-bomb less than a minute into the footage. It's not quite on par with the Old School kidnapping scene, but hey, we'll take it.
Onslaught is slated for release on Jan. 28 for Xbox 360 and Xbox One, with PC and PlayStation systems coming after. Also, check out our comprehensive Call of Duty: Ghosts review for a closer look at the four-star title if you haven't already.

Amid Wisconsin labor strife, Romney attacks Santorum as weak against unions
Among the many attacks Mitt Romney and his allies have launched against fellow Republican Rick Santorum, one touches a special Wisconsin nerve: the charge -- which Santorum rejects -- that he's too friendly to organized labor.
It's a potent accusation in a state consumed by a highly partisan labor war pitting unions against the GOP.
"As you know, the fight against Big Labor, led by Governor Walker, isn't over, here in Wisconsin," says a recorded voice in a Romney campaign robo-call. "I was shocked to find out that Rick Santorum repeatedly supported Big Labor and joined with liberal Democrats in voting against 'right-to-work' legislation during his time in Washington."
The Romney forces are trying to tap into Republican anger toward unions here. But they're using an issue against Santorum — "right-to-work" — that in one key respect goes beyond what Gov. Scott Walker and GOP lawmakers have pushed in Wisconsin.
Walker's most controversial measures have been aimed at public-sector unions.
Right-to-work laws encompass private-sector unions, prohibiting mandatory union dues for workers covered by collective bargaining.
That has been a bridge too far for Wisconsin Republicans, as it has for Republicans in most "blue" and "purple" states across the country. No right-to-work bill has gotten serious consideration here in years, and neither Walker nor GOP lawmakers have said they plan to take up the issue, as much as some of them might like the idea.
"If we were ultimately about attacking the unions, we'd be doing something to the private unions," Walker said last year, arguing that public unions raise a different set of issues. "I don't have any interest in doing anything to private unions. I think the private unions are a key part to getting this state's economy going."
"You (would) spark the whole fight again," Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said in an interview Thursday, adding that right-to-work has gotten a lot of discussion among Republicans over the past year. "It speaks to that same (conservative) base," he said.
But Fitzgerald said: "We're in the middle of recall elections. Everyone's still kind of reeling from what happened last year. From a leadership perspective, to try to get the caucus to jump into it right now would be very difficult."
A new Wisconsin poll by Marquette Law School suggests that private-sector unions are less controversial than public-sector unions among both GOP primary voters and voters as a whole.
In the poll, 57% of those of who said they would vote in the upcoming April 3 GOP Primary said they had a negative view of public-sector unions and only 29% had a positive view. Among all voters, perceptions of public-sector union were split down the middle:
Private-sector unions had better ratings among both groups:
Overall, the numbers suggest that criticizing unions resonates with a lot of Republican voters in Wisconsin, but far less so outside the GOP base, making it a riskier message for Romney in a general election.
"He's trying to 'out-conservative' other people (on unions). It's a race to the right," said state AFL-CIO President Phil Neuenfeldt, who argued Romney's stance will hurt him in November if he's the nominee.
"There's no question that it's a controversial issue," said Romney campaign spokesman Ryan Williams. "But Gov. Romney is going to run the same way in the general election as he is in the primary."
In addition to the Romney robo-calls against Santorum, the pro-Romney PAC known as Restore Our Future has aired TV ads hitting Santorum on right-to-work.
Santorum says he was just voting with his union-heavy state when he opposed a national right-to-work law.
"This is not an issue that is even discussed in Pennsylvania. It's one that our state, Republicans and Democrats, generally feel is not one that we'd put on the table for a vote," Santorum told a business audience earlier this year in right-to-work South Carolina (whose governor Nikki Haley told reporters before the state's GOP Primary: "I don't like unions. I don't want unions. We don't need unions in South Carolina.")
Santorum told the group that if he were president, he would sign a national right-to-work law, but "as Senator, I wasn't going to vote to have Washington change the status of Pennsylvania … so I voted consistent with my state's interests."
Romney spokesman Ryan Williams said that showed Santorum "tried to appease union bosses for political considerations."
Campaigning in Wisconsin this week, Santorum said he disagreed with labor on most issues in Congress.
"If that makes me the buddy of the big labor bosses you should tell the guy in the AFL-CIO who said calling Rick Santorum a big labor guy is like calling Mitt Romney a conservative," said Santorum.

Barcelona and Nice with Flybe
Wednesday 12 September 2012
Flybe has announced two brand new summer sun destinations to both Barcelona and Nice from Exeter in 2013.
A metre-wide freshly cooked paella helped set the scene for the launch of the new Barcelona route. Don Spourgan the proprietor of El Bocado in Exeter presented the dish to staff and said: "I'm very pleased that Flybe will be flying to Barcelona from Exeter. Each year, I send my chefs to Barcelona for inspiration and to ensure our food is as authentic as we can make it."
Seats are available for booking now with fares from £49.99 to Nice and £59.99 to Barcelona and all other Spanish destinations, one way, including taxes and charges.
Matt Roach, Exeter Airport's managing director said: "We are delighted with the announcement of the new routes to Nice and Barcelona for next summer. These are headline grabbing routes which we hope will really whet the appetite of travellers in the South West. Barcelona in particular has been a frequently requested route for some time and the new Flybe flights for next summer again underline the strength of the partnership between Exeter International Airport and Flybe".
Simon Lilley, Flybe's Director of Marketing comments: "With passengers able to enjoy the comfortable seating offered by our 118-seat Embraer 195 jet aircraft, this announcement further reinforces Flybe's commitment to bringing convenient, affordable travel to the South West and reaffirms our position as Exeter's number one airline. Flights are available for booking now and we'd urge travellers to book early so they don't miss out on the lowest possible fares."

I run a large Woocommerce site with 800+ products and 2,000 unique visitors a day, receiving 50+ orders a day.
Lately we've had long load times on the backend on the "orders" page when filtering. Makes our job very difficult.
I believe I've identified the culprit - the wp_woocommerce_order_itemmeta table has approx 571,000 rows.
I am curious, is there a way to clean out this table? We have around 11,000 completed orders stored in the database - I don't want to lose my customer's history.... I can't imagine that all 571,000 rows pertain to only 11,000 orders.
I'm not really a database person (although I'm realizing with a site this size I'm going to have to be soon)...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For some, traveling by train through a foreign country is far more romantic than hopping around by plane. In Spain, you can trundle through the northern countryside watching sheep graze on the hills, or whisk between the metropolises of Barcelona and Madrid in just under three hours. Using the rail system becomes less confusing with patience and practice.
Types of Service
Spain has long-distance, regional and express commuter trains. When at a particularly large station in Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia, make sure you're in the right ticket line for your train. Signs above the counters will read "Regionales" for regional trips; "Cercanias" for short commuter hops; and "Largo Recorrido" for long-distance routes. If you feel overwhelmed, stop at the information desk or find a security officer to direct you to the correct line.
Major Rail Systems
RailEurope provides passengers with the EuroRail pass, which allows for a variety of unlimited travel plans throughout Europe, including Spain. Compare rates, particularly against local service, to determine whether passes or individual fares work better for your travel plans. In Spain, the AVE high-speed train system can shoot passengers from Madrid to Seville in less than three hours. Tickets can be pricey, but not much more so than other forms of travel, and the time savings might prove worthy. RENFE, the state-run train, provides efficient service throughout Spain and offers a high-speed rail service called Alaris.
Ticket Counter
Unless you are fluent in Spanish, the ticket counter can be slightly intimidating. In general, Spaniards are tolerant of tourists, but do your best to expedite getting what you need, particularly in smaller towns where English-speaking locals are rare. If you can't speak Spanish, have a copy of the train schedule or write down the destination on a piece of paper and hand it to the clerk with a smile and a polite word. She'll ask you whether you're looking for a one-way ("de ida") or round-trip ("de ida y vuelta") fare. Most major stations take credit cards, but if you're traveling through smaller towns, grab cash out of the ATM before getting to the counter.
On The Train
Always have both your passport and ticket ready. On longer rides, it could take some time for the conductor to get to you, but he will. Store your luggage above you or on the luggage racks at the end of the car. If you're traveling overnight, keep your bag above you so you can keep an eye on it. Also, on many trains in Spain, particularly the regional lines, stops will not be announced, so pay attention to how far down the line you're traveling. Ask a local or the conductor for a time estimate between stops so you can relax. In many cases, doing this will help you get off at the correct destination.
Traveling in a foreign country can always be a bit disorienting, particularly if you don't have a fluent grasp of the language. Give yourself plenty of time before your train leaves to get your ticket and find your gate. Being rushed lends itself to laying your wallet or passport on a counter and walking away. It also draws attention and might make you a mark for pickpockets, who tend to prey on harried tourists. The US Department of State notes that the major train stations of Barcelona and Madrid are particularly susceptible to petty crime against tourists.

What do you expect from a Liberal Media bent on embarassing the Presid..oh wait, nevermind.
Yet another reason to read international news....fuck american "news".
When did Fox buy TIME Magazine?
And people complain that Americans don't know anything about the rest of the world. Why do you suppose that is?
Though I'm sure the business people told them that having an unpleasant story about Afghanistan would tank sales. Americans are primarily motivated by the avoidance of bad news.
Yeah, and did you see the shmoe who they made Person of the Year for '06? What a loser.
This is nothing new. Time routinely has 2 separate issues, one for the US market, and another for overseas markets. Sadly, it is the US version that is usually dumbed down and sanitized. *sigh*
And this is what passes for news?
Actually, the Talibanistan article was pretty straightforward (and can be boiled down to 'the Taliban are taking over the region in between Pakistan and Afghanistan, no one can fight them off, so watch out), and the Bible article was quite thoughtful and interesting.
Personally, I think it's ridiculous how many people (even religious people) know basically nothing about the Bible. Like it or not, it's a major part of western culture, and people should be familiar with at least the basic stories.
The difficulty, of course, is how to prevent it veering from 'consider this text as a cultural artifact' to 'consider this text because it's the word of God.'
It was pretty straightforward in my high school class. "Ok, we're studying the Bible as literature! .... Let's go!" And that's what we did.

SLIDE 1: by 1996, the faculty union was controlled by a group of disgruntled, greedy, & unprofessional characters (including notoriously ambitious IVC chem teacher Raghu Mathur), who were willing to do whatever it took to control the board. The group's nemesis at the time seemed to be trustee Harriett Walther, whom they often smeared and demonized as in this November 1997 flier placed in faculty mail boxes.
SLIDE 2. In 1996, a small group of ruthless, money-grubbing faculty, including RAGHU MATHUR (who, even then, managed a $120K salary!), controlled the faculty union. They hired a consultant (Pam Zanelli), who advised pandering to South County homophobia as a means of getting a slate of right-wing trustee candidates elected. The tactic worked, and the SOCCCD "conservative Board Majority" was born. Faculty pay remained high, while Neanderthal trustees ran amok.
SLIDE 3. Within months, Mathur was (illegally) named IVC's President. In part, in order to settle old scores, the union then had the board "reorganize" the district (again, this was done illegally). This initiated a period of administrative instability that continues to this day. Other unionists (Runyan, et al.) became administrators. Zanelli became the district's PIO.
SLIDE 4. The district's reserves dipped precariously low and SOCCCD was placed on the State Chancellor's fiscal watch list. The board lost a series of Brown Act (anti-secrecy) lawsuits (Bauer 1, Bauer 2, appeals). Owing to trustee micromanagement, among other things, the colleges experienced continual accreditation difficulties.
SLIDE 5. Trustee Frogue embarrassed the district by pursuing a "forum" for daft JFK conspiracy theorists, including people connected with the anti-Semitic Liberty Lobby. This revived concerns about his alleged Holocaust denial. The district lost a series of 1st Amendment lawsuits, born of its intolerance of criticism ("Orwellian," said one judge). Mathur embarrassed the district by banning faculty door and window signage & suing faculty critic R Bauer (who successfully counter-sued). Mathur then sued the district for not "protecting" him. In 1998, the union managed to place two more right-wingers on the board, this time using the phony "anti-airport" issue. The Board Majority was now five strong, thanks to the faculty union.
SLIDE 6: The OC Weekly reported on the flier on Nov. 15, 1996. The article begins, "Local political observers are calling it the 'most scurrilous and vile' campaign ad of the season...." Raghu was very much a part of the union crowd that opted for gay-baiting. In fact, when the CTA "leadership team" came down to investigate member complaints (about the flier and much else), Mathur had a special session with them to defend his colleagues.
SLIDE 7: A typical Faculty union flier. This one defends leadership's decision to use the homophobic flier. They were "forced" to do so, they argue, in order to protect "life as we know it." The Old Guard's favorite charity--the La Puerta de Fe orphanage--is mentioned at left. Not long after, that orphanage was involved in a spectacular pedophilia scandal.
See http://dissenttheblog.blogspot.com/search?q=Puerta+de+Fe
SLIDE 8: a typical letter by faculty bemoaning union misconduct. (The Saddleback College Lariat, 1/30/97.)
SLIDE 9: In an article that appeared in OC Metro in 1997, well-known political commentator HUGH HEWITT wrote that "I am embarrassed the OC is saddled with leadership that tolerates marginal performance…IVC President RAGHU MATHUR…does not have what it takes to run IVC, pure and simple, and for the board to pretend otherwise is ridiculous. Even a quick perusal of his stormy tenure persuades any objective observer that the board made a colossal mistake in putting Mathur in charge of IVC. Among his first actions was a double-cross of the IUSD on an issue of where to locate a Montessori school, and it's been an unbroken string of silly confrontations and petty puffings since then. The picture emerges of an excellent community college saddled with 'leadership' verging on buffoonery…."
SLIDE 10. National Review caricaturist Roman Genn produced this drawing of Trustee Frogue at the height of the (ultimately failed) Frogue Recall, an effort that received the enthusiastic support of the state GOP, thanks to then-state chair Mike Schroeder (the current kingpin of the OC "Republican mafia").
SLIDE 11: those looking for the origins of our difficulties might start with the "division" referred to here. Unfortunately, Mathur's side of the divide opted to bring conspiracy nut Frogue into the mix. Frogue was the sort who never failed to find a plot where one was suspected. Mathur & Frogue had a history probably tracing back to the former's stint as a school board member.
SLIDE 12: This chart appeared on p. 4 of the CCA Advocate in October of 1997. Our district ranked highest by far in "maximum salary" for faculty. It had also started to become the laughing stock of the CA community college system.
SLIDE 13: LA Times commentary of August 22, 1997: "[O]ne wonders why the voters put [Frogue] on the board and especially why his fellow trustees [Williams, et al.]...picked him as chairman...."
SLIDE 14: the 'Vine was the predecessor of DISSENT. ('Vine emphasized IVC while Dissent covered the entire district.) This is the cover of 1998's "Accreditation" edition, which presented contents of IVC's Accred. report.
SLIDE 15: Trustee Frogue makes it to the cover of the OC Weekly, April 10, 1998. Borrowing from Dissent, the article is entitled, "The Evil of Froguenstein."
SLIDE 16: Frogue holds a press conference, holding up a copy of a publication of which he approves: the Journal of Historical Review. The JHR is published by the Institute for Historical Review, a prominent Holocaust denial organization founded by the notorious Willis Carto (publisher of Spotlight).
SLIDE 17: the 7/20/98 issue of 'Vine reproduced an article that appeared in the anti-Semitic SPOTLIGHT newspaper (6/29/98). The article celebrated a supposed victory, at a SOCCCD board meeting, by Frogue's defenders. The article praised the remarks of Frogue apologist George Kadar, an avowed white supremacist (San Diego Union Tribune, 8/29/91) and Liberty Lobbyist, who headed "Friends of Steven J. Frogue." Kadar is also the founder of American Spring, an anti-immigration group that staged protests at the Mexican border. At one board meeting, Frogue acknowledged his meeting with Michael Collins Piper, Liberty Lobby (Spotlight's) chief reporter. Piper, aware of the 'Vine, sent vaguely threatening and obscene letters to its editor, IVC philosophy professor Roy Bauer. (He sent some troubling letters to trustee Milchiker as well.) (Note: the "Hitler" stamp ad appeared in the same Spotlight issue.)
SLIDE 18: One of the dolts trustee Frogue invited for his ill-fated seminar was Michael Collins Piper, a reporter for Willis Carto's infamous SPOTLIGHT newspaper. Aware of R. Bauer's opposition to Frogue, Piper sent this letter to Bauer. When Piper and his Liberty Lobby pals attended a board meeting to address the board, Bauer spoke first, reading Piper's letter aloud. Piper acknowledged having written it but expressed outrage that Bauer would read such a "nasty" letter at a board meeting. Bauer smiled. He's smiling right now.
SLIDE 19: This graphic accompanied an Oct. 31, 1998, article in the OC Register. The article highlighted the curious fact that the SOCCCD faculty union was financing the campaigns of anti-union trustee candidates. (See the Wagner/Padberg flier at top right.)
SLIDE 19b: flier the helped Wagner and Padberg get elected in 1998. They were the "anti-airport" candidates. Paid for by the faculty union.
SIDE 19c: inside of Padberg and Wagner's flier for the 1998 election, paid for by the faculty union. "No airport."
SLIDE 20: This was among the posters that the union used to get Padberg and Wagner elected in 1998. P & W were affiliated with Education Alliance, which was run and founded by the author of a notorious union-busting proposition. Community college trustees had no say whatsoever on the airport issue.
SLIDE 21: One of many Mathurian scandalettes: the fellow orders an office chair for himself. Price: $1,085.98. Rebel Girl had fun with it.
SLIDE 22: the requisition for Mathur's very expensive chair. The story in 'Vine caused Mathur considerable embarrassment. He kept the chair though.
SLIDE 23: said the Weekly: "Disloyalty will not be tolerated."..."When you point your finger at someone, three fingers point right back at you!" Such are the curious pronouncements of Raghu P. Mathur, ruler of Irvine Valley College...Recently, upon surveying his kingdom and detecting unsightly clutter, his Highness ordered his subjects to remove everything from their doors and windows. Although maybe it wasn't the clutter. Maybe it was those "Mathur must go!" posters. It all started in '96, when the board of trustees launched an assault on "shared governance," the state-mandated policy giving faculty and other groups a share in campus decision making. Soon, Mathur, a chemistry instructor, was made president, whereupon he embraced the board's agenda, especially the elimination of "reassigned time," a form of compensation for non-instructional duties such as senate office, upon which shared governance depended. But wait! As a teacher, Mathur enjoyed massive amounts of reassigned time!
SLIDE 24: an editorial cartoon that appeared in IVC's student newspaper, the VOICE, on Feb. 25, 1999. Evidently, Ms. Wei-Lun, a student, was not a fan of the President.
SLIDE 25: among the more popular features of Dissent was "Ask Miss Fortune," written by contributor Red Emma.
SLIDE 26: Zanelli was the political advisor for the faculty union who recommended the "same-sex" gambit. Spencer Covert was an attorney for the district who defended it--unsuccessfully--in two Brown Act lawsuits.
SLIDE 27: In this example of "Ask Miss Fortune" from 8/99, Dissent contributor Red Emma alludes to Trustee Wagner's antipathy for Jane Fonda and the dandy ways of Mathur recruit Armando Ruiz. When Mathur could find no one at IVC to cooperate with his regime, he recruited the notoriously stupid and vile Saddleback College counselor (and Coast Community College District trustee!) Ruiz, who later gained infamy by bilking taxpayers.
SLIDE 28: the infamous "South OC sees rise in RATS" page from the Feb. 1, 2002, OC Register. Here, the Reg reports that Raghu P. Mathur is about to be appointed Chancellor of the SOCCCD, despite having sued the district and having suffered two overwhelming votes of "no confidence" by faculty.
SLIDE 29: fake ad on the back page of the 'Vine, 7/20/98. It says: "Wow! College life isn't what it used to be! ...Play the exciting new game based on the SOCCCD out in wacky California!...Suppose you land on the 'I am a board majoritarian trustee' square. IT'S WILD!! Because you can...claim to be a 'fiscal conservative' though, in reality, you uncomplainingly preside over a persistent pattern of deficit spending and help the...faculty union to maintain the highest pay scale in the state! IT'S WILD! IT'S WACKY!"

It�s been a while since I�ve addressed this issue, but I'm prompted to set the record straight by something I ran across just this morning on the White House website.
The passage at issue reads:
To ensure that no person or group would amass too much power, the founders established a government in which the powers to create, implement, and adjudicate laws were separated. Each branch of government is balanced by powers in the other two coequal branches: The President can veto the laws of the Congress; the Congress confirms or rejects the President's appointments and can remove the President ...

Police in California are questioning Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the man thought to be behind a controversial anti-Islam video, to determine whether he broke the terms of his probation.
Nakoula, 55, was taken into the Los Angeles County Sheriff's station for questioning early this morning, a spokesman told Reuters.
He is not under arrest and volunteered to speak to police, according to sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore; however, Whitmore added, Nakoula will not be returning home immediately.
Nakoula, who the Associated Press identifies as a Coptic Christian living in Cerritos, southern California, is not being questioned in connection with the content of the controversial film, "Innocence of Muslims."
Instead, federal probation officers want to establish whether he violated the conditions he agreed to after serving time for bank fraud in 2010. As part of a five-year probation order, Nakoula is banned from accessing the internet or adopting aliases without his probation officer's consent.
More from GlobalPost: Anti-US protests are about much more than a badly-made film
Nakoula, who was pictured leaving with police heavily disguised in a scarf, hat and sunglasses, has denied writing and directing the film, or posting it online.
Media investigations have found extensive links between Nakoula and "Sam Bacile," the man who originally claimed to have made the film. A law enforcement source told the AP that authorities, too, believe Bacile to be Nakoula's pseudonym.
Meanwhile Gawker has identified another man, Alan Roberts, who is believed to have directed the film under its original title, "Desert Warriors."
Gawker characterizes Roberts as a "65-year-old schlock director" who made his name in soft porn. Associates described him as "non-political" and without any apparent anti-Islam views, which suggests that he – like, apparently, several of the film's actors – may have been unaware of the movie's true purpose.

During today's Language Enhancements webcast, I received a question about what's going on with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) - we briefly touched upon VBA and some of the other Office automation/customization tools. To help you out, I did a little research to find the resources that you can use to fill your brain:
VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is a scripting language supported in several Office applications.
VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office) is a Visual Studio enhancement to support .NET managed code development for Word and Excel documents and Outlook Add-Ins.
VSTA (Visual Studio Tools for Applications) is a framework for adding scripting support to your own custom applications.
Which of these do you use in your development work? How do you use these tools?

Lawsuit Abuse Fortnightly #8-20
Height of Greed
A California restaurateur is charged with violating the Americans with Disabilities Act because the mirror in the restroom of his family-owned restaurant was hung two inches too high.
The suit was brought by plaintiffs who visited the restaurant 27 times--with a separate alleged violation claimed for each visit--before bringing the infraction to the restaurateur's attention. He immediately rehung the mirror lower, but got sued anyway. The lawsuit may cost more than the restaurant made last year.
California is home to plaintiffs who file serial ADA lawsuits, sometimes hundreds and even thousands of such suits, against business.

Boa Tie
Guide dogs for the blind are the most common example of a service animal businesses are required to accommodate under the Americans with Disabilities Act, but people claim to have many other kinds: iguanas, ferrets, ducks, goats, cats, rabbits, miniature horses, and spiders. One Washington State man even says he has a service boa constrictor.
He perambulates through town with a five-foot boa coiled around his neck to warn him of oncoming seizures. The boa tightens its grip--the man calls it a "hug"--when one is imminent, the man claims. "He's not strangling me," the man said, although the man says he does have "to be stronger than the snake " to pull him off his neck if necessary.
Some businesses don't let him in with the snake. Even his doctor forbids it in her office. The man insists the boa helps with warnings about seizures, but medical experts don't know if this is true. The U.S. Department of Justice last year proposed defining "service animals" to exclude exotic animals and kicked off a furor, with about 4,500 comments submitted opposing the definition. DOJ is reviewing the comments and expects to issue final rules later this year.

Big Problem
Bally's Total Fitness is being sued by a slightly built Manhattan lawyer who claims a "large, heavyset" woman sat on him during a spin class, engaged in "embarrassing and offensive touching," and forced him off his stationary bicycle.
The man said the classes were full and he "found it difficult" to join the class and get a bicycle. The classes "seemed to be controlled by a small coterie of mem-bers," he said. One day he arrived early and claimed a bike, and that's when the woman "placed her body over him." He wants his $1,500 membership fee back.

Fishy Story
A Portland man pled guilty recently to animal abuse and domestic violence assault after he stabbed his ex-girlfriend's pet exotic fish.
After the couple's breakup, the man returned to the woman's apartment and said he wanted to reconcile. The woman tried to leave, but the man grabbed her and shoved her. She left, and he admitted then killing the fish, a bright purple Siamese fighting fish named DeLorean the man had bought for her. "If she can't have me, then she can't have the fish," he told police.
The woman asked the judge to order the man to pay for a tattoo in memory of DeLorean, but the judge refused. He sentenced the man to two years' probation, a psychological evaluation, and community service.

Accusing the Accuser
Wal-Mart is being sued for causing the arrest of a Southern Illinois woman who left the store with items she "forgot" to pay for.
The woman paid for some items at checkout, but three items--coasters, pajama bottoms, and a bag of coffee--were allegedly hidden under her purse. A security guard nabbed the woman and called the police. The guard rebuffed her offer to pay for the items. She was acquitted on shoplifting charges at trial.
The suit seeks $150,000 in damages, plus punitive damages and other relief.

Home Is Where the Smoke Is
Canadian truckers "were fuming," as The Windsor Star put it, after a fellow trucker was ticketed for smoking in a workplace--his truck. The trucker received a $305 fine after being nabbed by police who saw him driving down the road with a cigarette in his mouth.
"It's just going too far," another trucker said. "I don't smoke, but other guys do. That's their prerogative. But this has just crossed the line."
The police were enforcing the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, which states, "no person shall smoke tobacco or hold lighted tobacco in any enclosed public place or enclosed workplace." Officials said because the truck is a "work vehicle," it must be smoke-free.
"It's bogus, it's a money grab," said another trucker. "If there's nobody else in the truck with him, then he's done nothing wrong." Another trucker said the government was effectively regulating smoking within truckers' homes. "I go out for two or three weeks at a time," he said. "Out of the 21 nights, I probably sleep in that truck 19."

A Real Kick in the Head
A nonprofit organization formed to provide inner-city youths with horse-related activities must pay $2.36 million to a teen who was kicked by a horse. A jury found Work To Ride Inc., which involves youths in horseback riding and polo, was negligent, causing the teen to suffer a broken jaw and other injuries. His actual medical expenses were $117,023.
Both sides agreed the teen had struck the horse on its rump with a stick while he helped a Work To Ride employee load the horse into a trailer. The teen said the employee told him to use the stick to urge the horse into the trailer. The employee said he struck the horse on his own and did it a second time even though she told him to stop.

Whole-farm effects of livestock intensification in smallholder systems in Gansu, China
Simulation models can help to identify the whole-farm economic and biophysical impacts of smallholder farmers altering their farming systems. Incorporating long-term climate-induced variability in crop and livestock production enables the implications for agricultural household income and risk to be explored over a range of seasonal conditions. In this study, a simulation model is used to answer the following question: can reducing the area used for grain production by allocating more land to lucerne (Medicago sativa) and increasing livestock numbers improve total net farm income, reduce income variability and maintain grain self-sufficiency for farmers in the Qingyang Prefecture of Gansu Province, China? This was examined for three representative farm types found in the region: a low land-labour ratio farm household, a subsistence-oriented farm household, and a livestock-focused farm household.

Okay i've seen this done somewhere before where you have a function that takes a pointer parameter and returns a pointer.
However you can choose not to pass a parameter and it will return a dynamically allocated pointer but if you do pass a pointer then it just fills it in instead of creating one on the heap. This is a single function not overloaded.
My question is how is this safely done?
I had a guess it was something like this:
point* funct(point *p = some_value)
if p == some_value
//create a point *p on the heap
//create use the given *p and fill it in
return p
Now i can't think if this is right way to do it and if it is then what could be a good some_value? it can't be NULL because when you pass empty pointer it will also be NULL and not sure if it is safe to have it greater than 0. Also you can't have negative numbers on pointers either, so whats a good safe value?
Any good way to do this that is also PORTABLE across platforms?
Okay maybe i didn't explain properly basically i want the function to be used like this:
point *x;
point *y;
x = func();
x = func(NULL);
if I use NULL i get an error segmentation fault only when i do func(y);
The reason for this is:
either the user passes a pointer he manages such as one created on the stack OR the function will give a dynamic one back if none is given. I don't want to force the return of only dynamic memory or only accepting a pointer to fill.
I know I have seen this done somewhere before.

Manufacturing volumes for the quarter to March rose a modest
0.5%, with softening underlined by the value of meat and
dairy products being down 1.4%.
The latest total manufacturing sales volumes rose for the
third consecutive quarter, Statistics New Zealand (SNZ) data
said yesterday.
The previous quarter's larger 5.4% gain was been driven by a
post-drought catch-up by the dairy sector.
Westpac economist Michael Gordon said manufacturing sales
volumes ''rose modestly'' at 0.5%, while a rise in inventory
levels showed production had risen at a faster pace.
''However, we're wary that most of the growth in the quarter
came from an 8% jump in the petroleum and chemical sectors,
another area where volumes are measured separately for GDP
purposes,'' he said in a statement yesterday.
Mr Gordon said aside from uncertainty about measurement of
manufacturing activity, he expected gross domestic product
growth for the quarter to March was ''likely to come in
higher'', than Westpac's initial forecast of 1.1%.
SNZ business indicators manager Neil Kelly said meat and
dairy product manufacturing was up just 0.1%, following a
large rise in the December 2013 quarter.
''This quarter's rise occurred despite a relatively flat
quarter for meat and dairy product manufacturing,'' he said.

I have made four different trips to Zihua and each time I checked the trusty Tripadvisor site for the recommendation to either play Marina or Palma Real. Each time the reviews have applauded Marina and slammed Palma Real. So I had always played only Marina but always thought what I could see of Palma Real from the street looked far superior. This trip I took the time to play both.
I am fully convinced that the positive reviews on this site for Marina Golf have to be coming from folks with a financial stake in the Marina course.
Let's start with the Marina course:
"Goat pasture minus the goats" pretty much sums it up. There are barren patches in the middle of most fairways, weeds thick in the "sand" traps, more like rock traps, the greens are very coarse and slow. The carts are likely third generation hand me downs. It is still a viable golf course though. It has 18 full size golf holes but they are crammed in behind and across the street from the hotels on the beach. You are actually playing along the mangroves and stinky ditches that hold brackish water and alligators (those I don't mind, they add local flavor).
The staff:
If you are lucky enough to find someone in the golf shop, they will likely make you feel like you have just been taken advantage of by the time you walk out. They quote you in US dollars but then convert everything in to Pesos using a ridiculous exchange rate then MAKE YOU pay in Pesos. Nevermind if you wish to purchase a souvenir. Nothing, NADA, ZILCH is for sale in the Pro shop.
If you play Marina, you are basically getting in 18 holes and paying for the longitude and lattitude.
Like I said, I played Palma Real as well on this trip. It was in very good, not exceptional shape. A local told me later that it had recently been mowed or we would not have been able to find our balls outside of the fairway. This was not the case when we played. It was beautiful. It was challenging. The carts were well maintaned. The caddies were very helpful. The beer cart came around on a regular basis and even ran a tab for us rather than demand payment for each round of drinks. Lots of alligators. Let the caddy look for your ball! The Pro shop did not have any merchandise either but the staff was actually helpful in trying to save us money by proactively demonstrating that we could pay less if we combine our rounds in to a package and pay up front. This proved to save us quite a bit and coming back 2 days later even without our proof of purchase was not an issue.

Yankees Rock Cleveland With Five Homers in Win
Maybe they're the Bronx Bombers after all?
Despite fielding a lineup maligned for its supposed lack of power, the 2013 Yankees ended their Tuesday night having hit more home runs, 15, than any other team in baseball. The Yankees launched five balls deep Tuesday night during a 14-1 shellacking of the Cleveland Indians, with everyone seemingly getting in on the act.
Didn't have a home run when the night began? No problem. Ichiro Suzuki, Lyle Overbay, and Brennan Boesch all took the opportunity to get their first homers of the year against the Indians' downtrodden arms. Robinson Cano hit his third homer in two days, and Kevin Youkilis launched his second of the season. Cano has gone 7-for-10 in the first two games of this series, with three homers, three doubles, and seven RBI.
The Yankees have now scored 32 runs in their last three games, thanks in part to suspect enemy pitching. Tuesday, the Yankees faced Cleveland's Carlos Carrasco, making his first start since undergoing Tommy John elbow surgery in 2011. He was ejected in the fourth inning after plunking Youkilis and having given up seven runs, so the Yankees turned their ire on journeyman Brett Myers, scoring seven more. The offense backed starter Andy Pettitte, who pitched seven strong innings.

Dulce de Leche Cheerios and other 2012 products unveiled at General Mills
For most of us the new year means either giving up old habits or trying to stay on the straight and narrow and adopt new ones. For the Golden Valley-based food giant General Mills, 2012 means a slew of new products will be introduced to consumers.
Two new cereal flavors, both from Cheerios, are slated to hit shelves in January: caramel-flavored Dulce de Leche and the Peanut Butter Multi-Grain variety.
Other products include a lactose-free yogurt from Yoplait that will be available in strawberry, peach, cherry, and French vanilla, and Nature Valley Protein Chewy Bars, an all-natural, fiber-rich snack bar with 15 percent of the recommended daily intake of protein. Kid-friendly Pillsbury Mini-Waffles should also be showing up in grocery store freezer sections by late January.

Administering access control
Updated: August 22, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2
Administering access control
You can govern access control in Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) at the directory partition level by assigning users memberships to the role-based groups that are located on each partition. You can customize access control in ADAM on an object-by-object basis using the dsacls command-line tool. Other considerations for administering access control in ADAM include the assignment of permissions to Windows security principals and the best practice of avoiding the assignment of permissions to built-in security principals.
For more information about the dsacls command-line tool, see Dsacls.
Default ACLs
By default, ADAM provides access control list (ACL) settings on each directory partition. Also by default, all objects on a given partition inherit these default ACLs. To customize access control, you can:
Modify the default ACLs on the partition objects.
Set new ACLs on individual objects.
Change inheritance settings on individual objects.
For a table describing the default access that is provided to each of the default ADAM groups, see Understanding ADAM users and groups.
For information about viewing and setting object permissions, see View or set permissions on a directory object.
|In ADAM, it is possible for an ADAM administrator, or for a user with sufficient access to the Administrators group, to remove member accounts from the ADAM Administrators group, possibly leaving ADAM without any valid administrators. To recover from this scenario, the assigned ADAM administrator, as the owner of the Administrators group, can repopulate the ADAM Administrators group with the appropriate accounts.
Custom authorization mechanisms
Depending on your applications, you may have applications that use a custom authorization scheme. With a custom authorization scheme, ADAM still performs the task of authenticating users, but the directory-enabled application manages its own set of authorization information. Even with a custom authorization scheme in place, ADAM continues to enforce the ACLs on ADAM objects. Therefore, if your application implements its own authorization scheme, you may want to assign more relaxed permissions on all ADAM objects, so that the ADAM permissions do not interfere with your application's authorization scheme. If you do relax permissions in ADAM in this way, be sure to prevent clients from gaining access to ADAM through Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), thus bypassing your custom authorization mechanisms.
Role-based authorization
With Windows Server 2003, one way that a directory-enabled application can control access to directory objects is through role-based authorization, which is an alternative to ACL-based access control. In this scenario, a directory-enabled application does not expose LDAP but instead controls all access to the directory data. ADAM is used simply as a data store. For more information about role-based authorization in Windows Server 2003, see the Microsoft MSDN Web site.
|Using ADAM as an authorization store requires that you import ms-azman.ldf into the ADAM schema. You can import ms-azman.ldf through the ADAM Setup Wizard during installation or by using the ldifde command-line tool. For more information, see Importing LDIF files during setup.
Windows security principals
By default, authenticated Windows security principals in ADAM can only read objects in the schema directory partition. To enable authenticated Windows security principals to read any other objects, you can assign permissions on objects to the well-known security ID (SID) authenticated user. You can assign Read permissions for an entire directory partition by making authenticated user a member of the Readers group on that directory partition. Or, you can assign Read permissions on an object-by-object basis, using dsacls.
Best practices for assigning permissions
Although it is possible to assign permissions on objects to built-in security principals, it is recommended as a best practice that you avoid doing so. Built-in security principals represent user groups that are defined by the security system. These built-in groups take the form BUILTIN\groupname. For example, the Builtin Administrators group (SID S-1-5-32-544) exists on every computer. If permission assignments for a particular object are made to the Builtin Administrators group, the intent of this assignment cannot always be determined. In other words, ADAM cannot always tell whether a security principal requesting access to an object belongs to the Builtin Administrators group for which a permission assignment is intended.
It is also possible to assign permissions on objects to well-known security principals. Well-known security principals represent special identities that are defined within the security system, including Everyone, Local System, Principal Self, Authenticated User, Creator Owner, and so on. It is generally considered acceptable to assign permissions on objects to any of the following well-known security principals:
Anonymous Logon (after considering the possible security effects)
Authenticated Users (S-1-5-11)
Network (S-1-5-2)
Interactive (S-1-5-4)
Creator Owner (S-1-3-0)
Self (S-1-5-10)
As a best practice, avoid assigning permissions on objects to the following well-known security principals:
Network Service (S-1-5-20)
Local Service (S-1-5-19)
Local System (S-1-5-18)
The assignment of permissions on objects to any other well-known security principal should be made on a case-by-case basis, after considering the needs of the application.

Undergraduate Scholarships
The process for students who would like to be considered for all competitive scholarship and award opportunities which are available through our office involves the completion of the "general profile which is open to all students" and the applicable "faculty specific profile(s)". Students are asked to submit their student and applicable faculty specific profile(s) which are available online on LORIS during the program timelines.
For complete details on this process, click here.
Explore specific award opportunities on our Student Awards search engine.
Important Note on Endowments: Opportunities which are listed on the Student Awards web site that are identified as being "endowed" (see under the Description of each opportunity) are financed by investment income generated by gifts to the university. The university will grant up to a maximum of 4 percent of the value of these endowments, depending upon the amount of interest income generated on an annual basis. Consequently, these opportunities may or may not be available during any particular academic year due to the nature of financial markets. Any values which may quoted for these opportunities on this web site represent the maximum amounts that may be available, not the actual amounts that will ultimately be granted.
