Muslims in the U.S. Face Enemies on All Sides
Recently some American politicians have made shocking comments regarding Muslims — shocking because they have been cheered on and gained political mileage; shocking because the politicians pretend they are honoring the U.S. Constitution; and shocking because the politicians are willing to overlook the Constitution's guarantee of equal rights for all in order to dehumanize Muslims.
American Muslims feel sad, depressed, and frightened about this trend. Fascism takes a long path, but it starts this way. At the same time, we are optimistic that these days that are upon us will pass and that Islamophobic politicians and their backers will fade in due course.

Here can I find a description of how a MAC address is physically stored on a NIC card? I'm not looking for an explanation of the engineering process that put it there. I'm looking for a description of its physical composition (i.e. bit values [microscopic up and down things] stored on the NIC chip making up 48 bits).
migrated from stackoverflow.com Sep 16 '12 at 11:30
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
It's probably not possible to answer this completely as there is no required method a network interface must use to physically store it's built-in or "burned in" address. Furthermore, it may be different for each manufacturer or chipset of NIC.
However, taking the BCM57xx series NIC as an example, in the programmer's guide it mentions that the NIC registers are initially populated from "NVRAM", and that NVRAM in this case is flash or serial EEPROM.
An excerpt from page 88 of the above .PDF:
You can search further for microscopic images of NAND cells if you want - but the actual bits are electrical charges and I don't believe they are visible. In the bit of reading I've done about it, flash memory is a form of an EEPROM so I believe serial EEPROMs would be in the same boat regarding that.
I would guess that most NICs these days operate the same way.
MAC addresses are 12-digit, 48 bits in length, hexadecimal numbers (64 bits is also in use). For example, this is a 48-bit MAC address:
where the first six characters 00:A0:C9 is the Organisational Unique Identifier (OUI) of a manufacturer. In this case, Intel Corporation (See here for explanation of the first six characters and its meaning).
The other six characters (14C829) represents the serial number assigned to the hardware (in this case, a router) by the manufacturer.
I wouldn't trust wikipedia.org as an authoritative source, because half the time, it's written by people who understand only half of the whole fact, and editted by those who knew less than these halves. You would be better off visiting official standard organisations like Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers if you have a query.

I have a girl's name in mind that starts with a C, and would like to also have a boy's name that starts with a C. I just can't come up with anything that I like.
I like Carson, but DH has a cousin with that name, so that's a no go.
I also like Carter and Conner, but I have had students with those names and would feel weird having a matching name.
Any other ideas?

Skip to comments.Rare Endangered Cheetahs Photographed
Posted on 02/24/2009 6:59:21 AM PST by JoeProBono
Researchers have captured the first images of critically-endangered cheetahs in northwest Africa using a camera-trap system set up to spy on the big cats. Touting the success in a news release Tuesday, the Zoological Society of London, said the incredibly rare and notoriously hard to find Saharan cheetah population may consist of only about 250 adult animals.
(Excerpt) Read more at cbsnews.com ...
I wish they'd set up some cameras at the polling centers to catch the cheaters in our elections.
Amazing creatures.
Hopefully, a large enough area can be put aside so they can do well.
They should have attacked and ate the photographer.
"What animal should you never play cards with?"
Cuteness overload!
Thanks for posting the pictures. Cheetah's are amazing animals!
If I remember correctly, at one time cheetah's were kept as pets by pharoahs in ancient Egypt.
They are indeed. Cheetahs are my favorite animal, period. I have one tattooed on my ankle (a deco graphic of a cheetah).
Grip is too large for my hand. ;)
I understand killing something to eat it, but to kill something just for the fun of it? How does it make a man "tough" just to shoot something?
Good stuff. I love it when they find new, rare, and previously thought to be extinct species and variations doing well. Cryptozoology is fun.
Wow. "Hate" is a pretty strong emotion. Personally. I'm pretty selective with it.
I remember that exhibit (but didn't see it except for the fascade pieces and printed material). Thanks for posting. I can't believe it was in 2007. Time flies.
Yup, looks like Bar.
Awesome Catz!!!

Edison Mall is an enclosed, super-regional shopping mall in Fort Myers, Florida. The mall opened in 1965, and has been expanded many times since. Owned by WP Glimcher, the mall is anchored by J.C. Penney and Sears, as well as two Macy's stores and a Dillard's. The mall also includes more than 160 stores and a lifestyle center section. The mall itself is situated on just one floor, but all of the anchor stores (with the exception of Sears) have two floors.
George Sanders developed the Edison Mall, which opened in 1965 on US-41 at Colonial Boulevard on the south side of Fort Myers. It was the first mall in the United States to feature rival chains J.C. Penney and Sears as its anchor stores.[2] Maas Brothers was a third anchor, which was its first store to be located in a shopping mall.[3] At the time, US-41 was only two lanes wide, and the only other businesses near the mall were a Publix supermarket and a drive-in theater,[4] now the site of a Kmart store. Sanders sold the mall to Aster Realty in 1979.[5]
The mall was expanded with the addition of Burdines in 1979.[6] Another expansion added J. W. Robinson's in 1985, who's Florida locations were acquired by Maison Blanche in 1987. Maison Blanche then sold its store and six others in Florida to Dillard's in 1991.[7] Also in 1991, Maas Brothers was acquired by Burdines. Burdines moved its women's clothing into the former Maas Brothers building which was heavily renovated, while retaining men's clothing and home goods at the original location.[8] A 1998 renovation to Edison Mall added skylights in the center court.
Along with the rest of the Burdines chain, the two locations at Edison Mall were renamed Burdine's-Macy's in 2003, dropping the Burdine's name two years later.[9] In 2005, Simon announced a further renovation of the mall, which would add an outdoor lifestyle center wing and renovate the interior.[10]

I've finally sorted out my wireless networking issues, been a long week!
I recently got myself a Linksys DWL-2000AP+ access point and I've been trying to use it to connect the Xbox to my already existing Netgear DG834G ADSL router/wireless access point.
Initially had my PC connected to the DG834G (ethernet cable) and a laptop also connected to the DG834G through wireless card.
I thought that setting up the DWL-2000AP+ to the Xbox would be simple, but nooooo, not really!
So, if anyone needs any help, here's how I finally got it working:
1) Set the DWL-2000AP+ into default mode (hit the reset button a few times). Disconnect the PC from the DG834G and connect the DWL-2000AP+ directly into the PC.
2) Change the PC's IP settings to the following:
IP Address: 192.168.0.5
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.50 (Address of the DWL-2000AP+)
DNS: 192.168.0.1 (Address of the DG834G)
3) Access the DWL-2000AP+ via Firefox/IE at the default IP (192.168.0.50) and set the name of the wireless network (SSID) and the channel to match that of the existing wireless network created by the DG834G.
4) Configure the DWL-2000AP+ as wireless client and use the search wireless networks for the existing network (created by the DG834G) Connect to this network.
5) Access the management of the DG834G and allow the new MAC addresses to connect to the wireless port.
(There'll actually be two MAC addresses, one for the DWL-2000AP+ and the other is the PC)
6) Change the DWL-2000AP+'s IP settings to the following:
IP Address: 192.168.0.50
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1 (Address of the DG834G)
7) Enable DHCP on the DWL-2000AP+ starting at 192.168.0.3.
8) Change the settings of the PC to dynamic IP and check that the PC can access the internet and FTP to the laptop. If you can do this, then the DWL-2000AP+ is setup correctly.
9) Setup the Xbox to use dynamic IP.
10) Re-boot the Xbox and connect it to the DWL-2000AP+.
11) Re-connect the PC back to the DG834G and go into the management of the DG834G. Allow the new MAC address trying to connect to the wireless port (yep, this is the address of the Xbox.)
12) Then, from the PC, check that you can access the management of the DWL-2000AP+ and check that you can FTP to the Xbox.
Final Architecture:
Hopefully, you can follow this, but any questions (or easier ways to do it) would be welcome!
Wireless Networking Solved!

Thank you very much for such an clear explanation.
Did you use "wireless client mode" or "wireless bridge mode" ?
I've tried your configuration with a PC instead of a XBOX and it does not work. I can ping the DWL-200AP+ and I can ping the router 192.168.0.1 without problems but I cannot ping the DNS server.
Thank you for your support.

we seem to be having problems with the new install of WordPress v2.01. It seems to be generating hundreds of files per minute within the root /tmp folder which are randomly named but look similiar to "tmpWURUUl, tmpWOL0b1, etc".
It seems the generation of thees files are causing us database connection problems.
We have noticed that these files are similar to ones made by wordpress in the "wp-content/cache" folder when updating wp1 to wp2 in php safe mode as it generates an error pointing to this folder during the database update process complaining of uid/guid php permissions.
Please help.

I remember the time when All In One SEO was a good plug in. Then the developer decided to overcomplicate the plug in and turn it into a super pain in the behind. And it just keeps getting worse.
Latest update - 22.214.171.124 returns 400 Bad Request error. It; basically unconfigurable and I'm not even surprised anymore. The plug-in has been going down hill and it just keeps getting worse. What's a good replacement?

GSD Course Bulletin - Spring 2012
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:53:34.
Courses taught by Richard Peiser
05212: Field Studies in Real Estate, Planning & Urban Design: Redevelopment of the Port of Mumbai; Development of Village Center for Jacks Point in New Zealand (SES 0521200)
Urban Planning and Design
Lecture - 4 credits
Tuesday 3:00 - 6:00 Gund 318
Richard Peiser
Course Description
The Field Study course is intended to provide students an understanding of the dynamics and complexities of reality that create contemporary urban physical environments. The course emphasizes the integration of design and development aspects of projects that respond to realistic market demand, political, financial and other regulatory constraints. It is designed for real estate professionals, architects, urban/landscape designers and planners, to broaden their understanding of urban development issues and complicated problems, as well as to improve the applicability of their skills in either design or financial analysis in the context of urban developments.
This year's sites are:
- Mumbai Port Redevelopment - Mumbai's historic port in the heart of Mumbai is the subject of this year's REAI joint studio/field study. The main port has moved across the bay, opening up redevelopment of the 1400 acre area occupied by the historic port. Students will select sites within the port area that are of interest to them for redevelopment. Students will participate in Rahul Mehrotra's studio which meets Tuesdays and Thursdays 2:00-6:00, and are eligible for an additional 4 units credit through independent study if they wish to fully take part in the studio. The Mumbai Field Study/Studio is a joint studio supported by the REAI with students from HBS, KSG, LAW, and GSD. All but the studio students will travel together in January. (note, Students must have a copy of their birth certificate to get a visa to India.)
- Resort Village Center in New Zealand - This field study will focus on the planning, design, and development of a village center for the new resort at Jacks Point near Queenstown. Queenstown is the major tourist city on the South Island and the closest to several of the most famous national parks. Jacks Point is home to one of the top golf courses in the country. The village center will serve as a magnet for tourists and for people living Jacks Point. It will include retail, entertainment, resort, residential, office, and government uses as well as open space and recreation uses. With breathtaking views of the mountains, the foothills, and Lake Wakatipu, the students will confront the problem of creating a new village center from scratch. Drawing on precedent studies of resorts around the world, students will address the full range of issues in new community development including site constraints, market feasibility, political feasibility, master planning, urban design, and financial feasibility. The owner/developer of Jacks Point is the sponsor of the field study and will be involved both in New Zealand and at Harvard in the progress of the class. The students' visions and studies will inform the ultimate development of the village center.
Students will work in teams undertaking the field study projects sponsored this year by the Real Estate Academic Initiative for Mumbai and by alumni sponsors of New Zealand. Under the guidance of the professors, students will act as professional consultants to provide vision and solutions to the projects. Students will visit the sites during the January term. During the semester, investigations will include development feasibility studies (market, physical, environmental, and political), site planning, urban design, financing analysis, public/private joint-venture structures and other critical factors affecting the planning, design and development of the two projects.

Guest instructors: Frank Apeseche, Glenn Mueller, Richard Georgi and Jack Rodman
This course builds on GSD 5204 and comparable introductory real estate courses offered by other schools at Harvard. This year's course covers four main topics: (1) advanced financial analysis and deal structuring for land and building development, (2) Debt and equity capital - how to structure a capital proposal and where to go for different types of equity; raising money from private equity and other sources (3) REITS, public real estate markets, and market cycles; (4) international fund investment; and (5) Buying distressed debt and non-performing loans with emphasis on Asian and European capital markets.
The objective of the course is to give students in-depth financial analytical skills for the dominant forms of real estate financing, fund management, and development. Using case studies and lectures, the course focuses on advanced real estate finance topics for all major real estate product-types including apartments, office, retail, industrial, single-family, and land development. The course also emphasizes financial structuring and key decision-making for all phases of the development process including site selection, due diligence, design, financing, construction, leasing, operations, and sales, as well as institutional fund raising, securitization, public markets, and fund management.
The course will be team-taught by five faculty, coordinated by Professor Richard Peiser. Each faculty member is a specialist in the area he is covering in the class. Their course topics and descriptions of content may be found in the syllabus.
09116: Advanced Research Seminar: Cultural Tourism and Creating a living community at Al-Turaif, Saudi Arabia World Heritage Site (ADV 0911600)
Urban Planning and Design
Seminar - 4 credits - Limited enrollment
Tuesday 1:00 - 4:00 Gund 318
Richard Peiser, Bing Wang
Course Description
Al-Turaif is part of the historic oasis of Al Dir'iya located on the banks of Wadi Hanifa next to Riyahd. It is the original home of the Saudi royal family and is one of the first World Heritage Sites in the Middle East. The Riyadh Development Authority under the Chairmanship of His Royal Highness Prince Salman Bin Abdul Aziz, Amir of Riyadh, is sponsoring a two-term research lab on Al-Turaif. The Research Lab has two main goals: to produce designs and implementation strategies to bring the world heritage village back to life – to make it a living community; and to produce a design and development strategy for creating a tourism/resort community around Al-Turaif. The Spring term will begin with precedent studies for successful activation of world heritage sites and associated tourism facilities and strategies. Students will make a site visit to Saudi Arabia during Spring Break (March 10-16) where they will meet with representatives of the Arriyadh Development Authority, the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities, planning agencies, city officials, real estate professionals, and other valuable contacts. Students working individually or in teams of two will develop design and implementation strategies for that part of the assignment that is of greatest interest to them.
MDES students are encouraged to apply as well as students from Architecture, Urban Planning and Design, and Landscape Architecture. Students with a variety of expertise are sought including urban design, architecture, economics, historic preservation, landscape architecture, desert tourism, ecology, and real estate.

Wells Fargo, the banking Goliath, apparently met its David in Philadelphia music promoter Patrick Rodgers. On Monday, Rodgers declared victory and put away his sling.
When we first met Rodgers a week ago, he was a man with a complaint about Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. He'd even volunteered his own headline: "Philadelphia homeowner 'forecloses' on Wells Fargo."
It was a slight exaggeration, but Rodgers had indeed taken Wells Fargo to Municipal Court and won a $1,000 default judgment when the mighty bank didn't bother to have anyone show up. When Wells Fargo didn't pay, Rodgers obtained a sheriff's levy to enforce the judgment.

It would be reasonable to expect that Ford might pass over the Mustang and instead devote more attention to its other models since it's fresh off a comprehensive revamp for the 2010 model year. However, that's not what is shaping up in the House That Henry Built.
For 2011, the Blue Oval is introducing a new 3.7-liter V6 Mustang that should give it the firepower and refinement needed to take on Chevrolet's six-cylinder Camaro and Hyundai's upstart Genesis Coupe. But it isn't just the spanking all-aluminum powerplant and its 305 horsepower and 280 foot-pounds of torque that's making the scene for the forthcoming model year. In addition to the Cleveland-sourced mill, there are a pair of fresh gearboxes, a new V6 performance package, and a host of nip/tucks to the interior and elsewhere.
Now, we could grouse on behalf of 2010 MY 'Stang owners everywhere that these upgrades weren't part of last year's mid-life updo, but instead, we'll just be happy that these advancements are arriving at all.
Despite being smaller than the outgoing 4.0-liter V6, the dual-overhead cam 3.7-liter's horsepower and torque ratings represent massive improvements over the 2010 model (305 HP dismisses 210 HP and 280 lb-ft. plays 240 torques). In fact, that's more horsepower than the 4.6-liter V8 Mustang made just a few years ago. While the 305-horse figure only allows the Mustang to pip the crosstown Camaro by a single all-important stallion in the pony car bragging wars, Ford says the powertrain will be good for 30 miles-per-gallon on the highway when paired with its new six-speed automatic, also one notch better than the Chevy.

New Yorkers Don't Think Cage Fights Are the Way to Close the Budget Gap
Fine, we'll just raise your taxes then.
Part of Governor Paterson's proposal to close New York's $7.5 billion budget gap is to legalize and tax mixed martial arts more awesomely known as "ultimate fighting" which has been banned in the state since 1997. As our colleagues at The Sports Section wrote earlier this month, the argument is that the sport isn't much more violent than boxing, and could rake in $11.5 million per event for the government. But a new Marist poll shows that New Yorkers are overwhelmingly not in favor of the idea. A lowly 22 percent, in fact, approve of Paterson's plan, while 68 percent are opposed. If our athletes are going to beat the shit out of each other, they should do it wearing gloves, like civilized people.

Selfishness is now the American way
Published: Thursday, July 1, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 1, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Today's electorate demonstrates an unprecedented level of narcissism, coupled with a presumption of no-strings entitlements never before witnessed beyond the government-suckled underclasses and Marxist fringe.
After President Bush's May speech reporting on Iraq, Afghanistan and overall terrorism war, one network interviewed "average Americans" for reactions. A woman, seemingly middle-class and in her 40s, appeared hysterical with rage.
Interviewer: "But what do you want the president to do?"
Answer: "I want him to stop all this terrorism and war and unpleasantness now! If he won't, step down and let someone else do it! With everything I have going on in my own life, I'm sick of hearing about foreigners and their affairs! It's irritating! What about my right to keep my mind on things that matter to me?"
So that cowboy Bush refuses to wave his wand and make it all go poof, thus victimizing this lady by distracting her from Oprah, her new nail color and tonight's episode of "Survivor." She's irate, not because Americans are being incinerated, blown apart and decapitated, but because she's compelled to devote attention to such disagreeable matters. And she gets to vote her anger. It's the American Way.

I see that I can map a function over mutable arrays with mapArray, but there doesn't seem to be something like mapM (and mapM_). mapArray won't let me print its elements, for example:
import Data.Array.Storable
arr <- newArray (1,10) 42 :: IO -- answer to Life, Universe and Everything
x <- readLn :: IO Int
mapArray (putStrLn.show) arr -- <== this doesn't work!
The result will be:
No instances for (MArray StorableArray Int m,
MArray StorableArray (IO ()) m)
arising from a use of `mapArray' at <interactive>:1:0-27
Possible fix:
add an instance declaration for
(MArray StorableArray Int m, MArray StorableArray (IO ()) m)
In the expression: mapArray (putStrLn . show) arr
In the definition of `it': it = mapArray (putStrLn . show) arr
Is there something like that in Haskell (or in GHC even if not standard Haskell)?
Also, I found no foldr/foldl functions for arrays (mutable or not). Do they exist?
Thanks a lot!

All Rise...
Judge Gordon Sullivan is for pizza, not war.
Editor's Note
Our review of 9th Company: Collector's Edition, published September 16th, 2010, is also available.
The Charge
Afghanistan the first time.
Opening Statement
One of my favorite scenes in The Princess Bride occurs when the Man in Black finally catches up with Vizzini. While they banter, Vizzini talks about "one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia.'" It's a great line because suddenly mentioning land wars in Asia in a film that takes place in a fairy tale realm is incongruously funny. It's also funny because it's true: getting involved in a land war in Asia is just a bad idea, as history has shown time and again. Despite it being "one of the classic blunders," the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, a country in central Asia, on December 25, 1979, hoping to support the Marxist government from being overthrown by the Mujahideen (who, incidentally, were supported by the United States). Almost ten years later, Soviet forces left Afghanistan, having accomplished few of their objectives. Towards the end of the conflict, the fabled 9th Company of Soviet paratroopers defended a hill against a force of Mujahideen several hundred strong with little outside support. Their story forms the basis for 9th Company, the highest-grossing film in post-Soviet Russia. Now, thanks to Well-Go USA, Americans now have a chance to catch this Russian interpretation of Afghani history in full 1080p glory, and while the story will be overly familiar to students of film and students of history, 9th Company (Blu-ray) is a visually interesting look at the effects of war.
Facts of the Case
Soviet forces have been in Afghanistan for almost eight years when 9th Company opens, and we begin with a group of young men who have signed up to be paratroopers, headed for the war-torn country. They will go through training together before being shipped to Afghanistan, where most them will join 9th Company and meet their fate on Hill 3234.
The Evidence
As an American viewer, I find 9th Company a difficult film to judge. I grew up on films about Vietnam, from Full Metal Jacket to Platoon and Apocalypse Now. I've therefore seen countless innocent young men trained by brutal drill sergeants before being sent off to engage in combat they have little personal stake in. It trades the jungle for the desert and Vietnam for Afghanistan, but it's the same story, which is the film's blessing and its curse.
On a positive note, the film seems to draw on any number of other war films. There are hints of Full Metal Jacket in the film's construction, especially in the film's focus on basic training (even if 9th Company's post-basic scenes aren't quite so subversive). As the film goes on, 9th Company increasingly focuses on the most sensitive, artistic character as he's brutalized by the violence around, and this definitely harkens back to Platoon. Even Apocalypse Now gets a little bit of love in the film's fairly epic scope. It's easy to read 9th Company as ripping off better films (which I'll address below), but at its most positive, the film's use of common tropes of the war film actually helps, especially international viewers. I knew (and still know) very little about the Soviet-Afghan war, and having these touchstones helped make the film clear. It also allows the film to focus on archetypes, the different kinds of soldiers there are on the battlefield.
The movie wins a lot of points for being visually interesting. While it's arguable 9th Company brings nothing new to the table in terms of story, director Fyodor Bondarchuk dresses his film up with all kinds of impressive visual tricks. There's a unified feel to the piece, with a hyper-real color scheme that doesn't immediately wash everything out to indicate that it takes place in the desert. Action sequences are appropriately large and well-shot, and throughout the film Bondarchuk chooses interesting angles. Aside from a few hokey looking bits of CGI, the film is a visual tour-de-force.
This Blu-ray also works in the film's favor. The 2.35:1 AVC encoded transfer is generally strong, especially given the 140-minute film gets its own disc. Details are usually impressive (though a few scenes do go soft), color is bold and bright, and black levels are appropriate with no serious compression problems. The 5.1 surround track in Russian is appropriately booming, with distinct voices balanced evenly with the film's more violent scenes. Extras include a 40-minute look at the film's production, and a slightly shorter documentary featuring the perspective of veterans of the Soviet-Afghan conflict. There's also a look at the film's premiere. All these extras are contained on a second DVD.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
A less generous reading of the film says we've seen this all before. A bunch of innocent kids thrust into a situation they don't and can't understand. Although the 9th Company was an historical group, their most famous exploit occurred on Hill 3234, which doesn't happen in the film until the last 30 minutes or so. That leaves us with a fairly generic look at young men becoming soldiers. I'm not familiar enough with contemporary Russian film to say whether these images have been seen before in their films, but they're old hat in America.
Speaking of Hill 3234, some viewers might be turned off by the fact that once the film does get to the famous height, it abandons historical accuracy in favor of a more metaphoric look at the Russian withdrawal from Afghanistan. I don't want to give too much away, but suffice it to say that the events on record look nothing like the events in the film aside from the fact that a small company held back a much larger force.
Finally, the included English dub is absolutely laughable. It sounds like a bad anime dub, and although it seems to stick pretty close to the sense imparted by the subtitled Russian dialogue, it's generally very poorly acted. It's also a somewhat suspicious choice that our young heroes all seem to have American accents, but their superiors all have comically thick Russian accents. I generally advise against listening to a dub over the original language, but it's an especially bad idea this time out.
Closing Statement
As the highest grossing film in post-Soviet Russia, 9th Company evidently did something right. It doesn't quite rise to the ranks of the best international war films, but for fans of military cinema it offers a visually interesting look at a little discussed conflict that has only grown in importance since America got involved in Afghani affairs. This is a generally strong Blu-ray disc with a good audiovisual presentation and informative extras.
The Verdict
Although not as novel nor as accurate as I'd like, 9th Company is not guilty.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A study suggests that an online program some employers use to weed out illegal workers misses more than half the people it's supposed to identify.
The research company that evaluated the E-Verify system for the Homeland Security Department found 54 percent of the illegal
immigrants checked through E-Verify are cleared to work because
they are using stolen or borrowed identities.
E-Verify allows employers to run a worker's information against
Homeland Security Department and Social Security databases to check whether the person is permitted to work in the U.S. Congress and the Obama administration are urging employers to use E-Verify voluntarily to help curb illegal immigration.

Citation: Wanjura, J.D., Parnell, Jr., C.B., Shaw, B.W., Capareda, S.C., Lacey, R.E. 2009. Source sampling of particulate matter emissions from cotton harvesting - System design and evaluation. Applied Engineering in Agriculture. 25(1):85-96. Interpretive Summary: Agricultural producers are facing increased pressure from air pollution regulators due to poor regional air quality and the use of inaccurate emission factors. Limited work on measuring particulate matter emissions from cotton harvesting has been conducted. The work on which the current particulate matter emission factors for cotton harvesting are based utilized indirect techniques which contain significant levels of uncertainty. An indirect technique employs a mathematical dispersion model to back calculate emission factors from particulate matter concentrations and meteorological data measured downwind of the harvesting operation. It was hypothesized in this work that the emissions from cotton harvesting operations can be measured more accurately on a direct basis. Therefore, the objective of this work was to document the design and evaluation of a system designed to measure emission concentrations onboard a six row cotton picker. The key functions of the sampler were to collect all of the seed cotton, air, and foreign material from one cotton transport duct on the harvester, separate the seed cotton from the air stream, and channel the particulate laden air stream through a duct where an emission concentration could be measured. The results indicated that the optimum seed cotton separation system design utilized a separator box design with a straight back wall and a 47 cm straight baffle angled at 52 degrees with the top of the separator box. Air velocity profile testing showed that the highest air velocity was at the center of the exit duct of the seed cotton separation system and the air velocity patterns were not affected by varying rates of seed-cotton flow. Isokinetic sampling showed that there was no significant difference between the duct average emission concentration and the emission concentration measured at the center of the duct. Particle size distribution (PSD) analyses indicated that the PM collected at the center of the exit duct adequately represented the duct average PSD. The findings of this work indicate that it is possible to measure emission concentrations onboard a modern six row cotton picker. The emission concentrations can be used to calculate emission factors that do not contain the uncertainty of previous estimates. Emission reduction regulations based on accurate emission factors will help producers avoid inappropriate fines, fees, and increased production costs resulting from regulatory actions based on inaccurate emission factors.
Technical Abstract: State and regional air pollution regulatory agencies are required by federal law to reduce ambient particulate matter concentrations in non-attainment areas to a level in compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards. All emission regulations, including reduction regulations, should be based on accurate emission factors. Agricultural particulate matter emission factors are difficult to quantify due to the nature of the emission source, size characteristics of the dust, and environmental factors affecting natural dispersion of the pollutant. Cotton harvesting emission factors developed through previous efforts using indirect techniques employing ambient sampling and dispersion modeling contain substantial levels of uncertainty due to these factors. It was hypothesized that particulate matter emissions from cotton harvesting could be more accurately quantified through direct source measurement than with previously used indirect techniques. The objective of this work was to document the design and evaluation of a system designed to measure emission concentrations onboard a modern six row cotton picker. The principal functions of the system were to collect all of the seed cotton, air, and foreign material from one cotton transport duct on the harvester, separate the seed cotton from the air stream, and channel the particulate laden air stream through a duct where an isokinetic emission concentration could be measured. Optimization tests were conducted on the baffle separation section of the system to maximize the removal of seed cotton and large foreign material from the conveying air stream. Additional tests were conducted across the exit duct cross section to investigate air velocity profile and particulate matter concentration patterns. Maximum seed cotton removal was achieved with a straight back wall separator configured with a 47 cm baffle installed at a 52 deg with the top of the box. No differences in air velocity patterns across the duct were detected at varying rates of seed cotton flow and an isokinetic center point measurement adequately represented the duct average emission concentration and particle size distribution. The findings of this work indicate that it is possible to measure cotton harvester emissions on a direct basis at the source. Thus, resulting emission factors will not have the uncertainty contained in previous emission factors developed through indirect techniques.

We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Anything that is not a posix standard may be an additional system call, or it maybe additional library functionality above the system call layer. If your goal is to write portable code stick to posix, and use the c library (as opposed to direct system calls) as much as possible.
If you are just curious, they vary quite widely. You do not need to support much in the way of system calls in order to be posix compliant. It specifies interfaces you need to support, but whether you do that through calling into the kernel or jumping into a shared library is pretty much up to you.
Mac OS X does not even guarantee binary compatibility for system calls between releases, they consider them private interfaces between the the system libraries and the OS. What most people consider to be system calls are actually small stubs in a dynamic library that call through to the kernel, and if you make the system calls directly instead of linking to that dynamic library and calling the stub functions then your code may break between OS releases.
That flexibility means a number of OSes implement system calls that are completely different from what they need to support posix, then deal with the differences in their libraries. For example, Linux's threading implementation is based around a system call called clone(), and they deal with much of the bookkeeping to make the pthreads interface work in their libraries.
So if your goal is to implement a standard library the does not link against anything else and works on multiple unixes, you may find things a bit tricky in some cases. If your goal is to write something that links against the standard libraries on various Unixes you can get a generally uniform interface.
The best I can find is a Unix-Linux-BSD Cheat-Sheets, for various syscalls variations, to be compared with the Solaris syscalls.
For Unix alone, the number of system calls has quadrupled, more or less, depending on what you mean by "system call."

Fixed up a few elements I saw needing work in the previous shot. Notably the line weights of each letter - the increasing size of the letters created the illusion of them getting progressively thinner. So I subtly reduced the weight of the first few letters and increased the last few. Looks a bunch better.
Also played with positioning of the '.com.au' and the 'shoutout' bars above and below the type.
Lastly I played with the form of the 'S's so they filled in a little more empty space.
I think I'm nearly happy to lock it in as a final concept! Onto the laughing donkey concept...

Ways to Die in the Wild: Heat Stroke
There are countless ways to meet your end in the great outdoors. These are ten of the most unpleasant, ignominious, and terrifying ways to go.
BODY TEMPERATURE: 101 DEGREES Fahrenheit. Never mind that the air temperature is way too hot for hill climbing (92 degrees and rising). If you reach the top of the pass, you've won!
102 DEGREES. With each powerful downstroke of your pedals, your core temperature climbs a tiny fraction of a degree. You've entered the "fever of exercise" zone between 100 and 105 degrees—temperatures that trained athletes endure without harm.
103 DEGREES. Every nine seconds, each of your two million sweat glands squirts a drop of moisture through a pore, then recharges. Without the cooling mechanism of sweat, at the fierce pace you're riding, your body temperature would rise 0.9 degrees every minute and you'd reach heatstroke range within 12 minutes.
104 DEGREES. The road steepens. You stand on your pedals. Painful knots form in your biceps, calves, and abdominal muscles—heat cramps, believed to be the result of sweating out so much sodium. Though your heart pounds, it can't keep your veins and arteries filled to capacity; they've dilated to their maximum to bring hot blood from your overheated core to your sweat-cooled exterior. Lacking pressure, blood flow to your brain slackens. Your vision turns fuzzy.
105 DEGREES. You begin to hallucinate. The searing pain in your thighs suddenly eases. The finish line is just ahead. You know victory is yours but for some reason no one is there waiting. You veer off the road and tumble down an embankment. Everything goes black.
106 DEGREES. Lying unconscious, you suffer a heatstroke. Your cellular metabolic rate—how fast your cells turn fuels into energy—accelerates. Metabolism is now occurring more than 50 percent faster than at normal temperatures. Your body is literally cooking itself from within.
107 DEGREES. You vomit repeatedly, and your sphincter releases.
109 DEGREES. Seizures ripple through your muscles.
110 TO 113 DEGREES. Mitochondria and cellular proteins dissolve. Your heart and lungs start to hemorrhage. Blood coagulates in your veins. Heat damages your liver, kidneys, and brain and perforates your intestinal wall. Toxins emitted by spent digestive bacteria now escape into your bloodstream, perhaps triggering septic shock. Your heart stops.
THEY FIND YOU THAT EVENING, long after the race has ended. They can't locate a pulse, but your lifeless body is still warm to the touch.

Is it possible to add option for selection of custom taxonomy in a dropdown just like "category" taxonomy?
Is it possible to add option for selection of custom taxonomy in a dropdown just like "category" taxonomy?
I have the same problem! Beside that WP user frontend is perfect for what i want to do with my site so i don´t want to change to another.
There is a file in the plugin directory with the name "taxonomy.php" so I wonder if that might be something I can work with?
If it is possible, if i so have to change the entire code I will do it, but can someone tell me how?
I have custom taxonomies made with "WCK Taxonomy Creator" so I just need to call them in the plugin.
hey, the custom post type submission work well but that tag won't saved! I have post type called "question" and the tags for it.
I have manually added tags besides admin panel instead of user frontend
Someone had an answer (I think) for your save issue on an earlier thread. In fact, it might have explained this whole taxaonomy thing. It was a bit technical, though. Still trying to wrap my head around it. When I see pages of unfamiliar code, my eyes get fuzzy and my brain goes numb. lol
@All of you
go here wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-user-frontend-custom-taxonomies-1
they have a solution!!
This topic has been closed to new replies.


text: I'm wondering if anyone has run into this problem and how it might be untangled: I have two active domains -- one an add-on and one a primary domain. The add-on is WordPress MultiSite with subdomains. If I try to access a subdomain from the add-on, it redirects to the primary domain.

Tax cuts hurt Social Security
Published: Sunday, February 27, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 27, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: It is true that Social Security needs fixing. It is also true that the folks who need Social Security the most cannot afford to invest, or might not know how to do so in a way that would give them security.
It is also true that President Clinton had saved enough money to ensure that Social Security would be able to continue. One of the first things President George W. Bush did was to give that money away as tax refunds. And of course most of it went to people who were rich enough that they wouldn't need Social Security anyway.
Poor people got very little or none at all. The people who have security from their own earnings, savings and inheritances didn't need that giveaway of the money that would have saved Social Security for its main intended purpose: Security for the elderly or disabled poor.
And of course even the way it was intended to be used, that money would have sent even bigger payments to wealthy people who reached retirement age, and they could have then invested their Social Security checks in anyway they desired.

5.0 stars 3 totalReview Steven Waldinger
Posted by a client
I have worked in property management with Steven as the attorney representing numerous Condominium and Homeowner Associations, for over 15 years. His ability to interpret By-Laws, and knowledge of actions to be taken is always spot on. His experience with contracts, homeowner negotiations, collections, foreclosures and litigation proceedings inspire confidence. I highly recommend Steve Waldinger as representation for Condomiums, Co-ops and Homeowner Associations due to his broad knowledge base in this area.
Posted by Pamela
Steve successfully secured a higher settlement because of his knowledge and not giving up.
My husband has Alzheimer's and was in a car accident ....before the accident he enjoyed an active lifestyle; walking several times a week, riding a stationary bicycle, visiting his adult daycare center, enjoying movies, dancing with an Alzheimer's dance group, going out on various other social outings including dining outside of the home on a weekly basis.
All of this changed after the accident and his decline was significant. He is now fearful and believes he was shot in the arm by a woman at his adult daycare center when in fact it is the sound of the air bags going off. He has no recollection of the car accident. He has suffered greatly both physically, mentally and emotionally, enduring numerous hospital visits, and numerous doctor visits related to the accident.
10 months after the accident he is now in a nursing home - years faster than he should be because the accident propelled the disease forward.....the insurance company claimed they should not provide a significant settlement because this would have happened anyway...that is true .....BUT the fact is it happened extremely fast because of the accident.
The monies we received have allowed me to admit him to a nursing home and have the monies to pay for it......need I say more....
Posted by Mary
There's no substitute for competence and Mr. Waldinger has plenty to spare. He works very hard with his client to make sure that his or her claim is presented in the most favorable light. He can adjust to last minute rulings in a flash and do so with quiet certitude. But don't expect any "shinanagins" here. Mr. Waldinger is a true professional, skilled in his craft and true to it's highest standard.

Latest Weather Blog
Wintry Weather?
Today we'll see mostly cloudy skies as another cold front approaches from the north. The cloudiness will relegate temperatures to the lower 50s at best. Forecast models drop this front through the area with only a light shower shown in locations west of the viewing area. Like many of the previous fronts, with so much dry air at the surface, this one will likely pass entirely dry.
However, WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY has been issued for East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Pointe Coupee, East Feliciana, West Feliciana and Iberville Parishes as well as Wilkinson County. The National Weather Service has put out this bulletin due to the possibility that light rain showers may mix with or change over to snow or sleet. Though they remain unimpressive, all major weather forecast models are now squeezing out the lightest amount of precipitation that they are able to indicate. Thus, with the model agreement we now must leave open the possibility for some light frozen precipitation. Chances are still in the 20% range-very low, so while it's possible snow falls, realize it's much more likely we see nothing at all.
Very cold air will spill into the area late Thursday behind this latest cold front. Temperatures will plummet overnight well down into the 20s. Wind chills are expected to be in the teens for a period of time Friday Morning. The National Weather Service has issued Hard Freeze Warnings for our entire area with the exception of Assumption Parish. With the front slowing at the coast and a high stuck to our north, clouds may well linger through the first half of Friday and a northerly wind will make it feel very chilly all day long. As skies start to break, below freezing numbers are anticipated on Saturday Morning as well.
