"I am coming from your future": Petru
The site you are about to visit is an introduction
to one of the worlds most complex, spectacular and unrivaled
contemporary artists.
will take you into the very unique and personal universe of
perpetual transformation and re-creation - an immense visual
lab- from where, - important statements - are ceaselessly
released under the form of encoded paintings, a sort of mystic
temple where the ever burning flame of a creative spirit is
never put to rest.
extent of Petru's work, is
surpassed only by its versatility
and diversity.
A late incarnation of a Renaissance spirit, he embodies
a prodigious knowledge of every single aspect, even remotely
connected, of figurative or visual arts, weather practical
or technical, theoretical, intellectual, spiritual and metaphysical.
some time here, visiting this site, you will be offered an
ample demonstration of this statement.
is for Petru a natural, spontaneous state
of existence:
paintings, his tumultuous forms, colors, innumerable figures
and characters, or original, never seen before compositions,
the symbols and metaphors he operates with inside his gigantic
spectrum of expression, are overflowing - inevitably - from
under his hand, as natural, spontaneous and profusely as the
waters of Amazons, growing abundantly and luxuriantly like
vegetation in the Rain forests, like a
true Force of Nature.
a child, when he did not have paper, he used to draw on scrap
paper separated from legal forms or pages from old books,
on dried leaves, on tree skin,...on boards or on pieces of
metal, on anything he could lay his hands on.
he was just a a teenager out of frustration of not having
brushes and paints, he invented the felt tip pens,
long before they would be produced on an industrial scale
in the West.
others used their hands to play or hold objects of pleasure,
Petru used his to draw, to carve, to sculpt, to model, to
paint, with anything that came handy, on everything he could
the middle of the most mundane meetings, classes, social events,
or other tribulations, he would never cease residing in himself,
inside his personal serene environment, reaching out through
his artwork, as an uncanny messenger, or some kind of accredited
interpreter of an impetuous creative superpower, that would
never release its spell on him, forcing him to restart ad
infinitum another search for yet another version or expression
of an immediate or other far fetched reality.
Not an
official artist
Living his early years in the communist regime of
Romania, a police imposed dictatorship that enforced and
controlled almost every aspect of every citizens existence,
Petru was confronted not only with the harsh reality of
totalitarianism, lived through political upheaval, deprivation
or serious limitation of normal, legitimate rights to free
expression or free access to studies, but, later on, he
even faced severe censorship of his creation and banishment
of his artwork.
As a notorious dissident he could never become an
official artist. Like many other opposing intellectuals
and artists, he had to choose to expatriate himself in search
for a better and more secure land that would allow his spirit
to be liberated and his creation freed from constraints.
spectacular personal
Creation Journey
It is remarkable though, that in spite of oppression,
persecution, even imprisonment, which have definitely mutilated
his early years, and became an ever lasting trauma which
marked his entire future artistic evolution, Petru did never
stop to pursue his own artistic vision, and, mostly, never
hesitated to undertake one of the most spectacular personal
Creation Journey....
creation of an incredible pluralism and diversity
which almost defies categorization,
spanning over a period that surpasses more than 40 years,
happening on different continents and numerous meridians,
resulting in the largest ensembles of public fresco, tempera,
oil or acrylic murals created in our contemporary times,
as well as in a prodigious collection of works, ranging
from drawings, watercolors, graphics and mixed media on
paper, to oils and acrylics on canvas , carvings and sculptures
in formats going from miniatures to monumental, from sacred
to secular, from public to residential.
To cover his Mural Works on this site, two pages
have been created, corresponding to sacred and secular projects,
trying to give the viewers at least a glimpse into the colossal
body of artwork Petru had produced.
It was only the incredible extension of Petrus
production that delayed for too long the realization of
this web site, which cannot, does not intent or succeed,
to be exhaustive.
is a visionary
in whos mind
exist a lot more
and connections
to a remote cosmos,
than we can normally
His artwork is an ample manifestation of a wide range
of stylistic and conceptual concerns which changed along
his existence, as he changed countries, regimes, or philosophical
The artist would always emphasize the importance
the liberty he, at
all times assumed, in pursuing new avenues and forms of
expressions, switching constantly from a series of paintings
to another, alternating constantly mediums, techniques,
formats , avoiding with tenacity total devotion to an absolute
and definitive personal style, a single medium, theme
or domain of exploration.
"A personal style is an insidious and hazardous trap for an artist .
.... It casts in heavy metal ones efforts to forge
ahead, it has the same appeal as a mirage .You spend
your entire creative life to be truthful to one single sided
facet of the Universe, ignoring the natural inclination
of the inner self towards the implicit complexity of creation...
declares Petru...
A personal style is not only an
imposition and a denial of sincerity, but rather an incarceration
of freedom of creation; it means, most of the times, to
become intellectually dishonest.
"As a creator, I am going to be recognizable in my diversity, as
others are identifiable for their longstanding, equal, insipid,
boring production, or artistic style
All the materials that Petru had ever used as a background,
have , in time, become a symbolical scene, a theater,
if you want, where, an imperious Master of Creation,
the artist, himself, presents us a perpetual reconfiguration
of everything we thought we knew from our life experience;
elusive visions of a universe yet to be revealed, quiet
enigmatic Eden Gardens hidden in a few tubes of paint, populations
and visitors questioning our physical and mental establishments,
splendid illusions in ambiguous dreamscapes, plants and
animals challenging the sciences and transgressing the realms
in clandestine, secretive ways.
There is a promise of an alternative consciousness
every time you look at one of his paintings in The
Visionary Works. A unique force of
would deliberately hijack and project
you at a level where you might suffer of an eerie dislocation
of reality, but would also give you a premeditated chance
to become forever spellbound.
The most compelling aspect of Petrus
creation is the uniqueness of his vision invading our visual
perception with fresh and never seen before inventions,
astonishing combinations or absolutely surprising plastic
innovations. Have a look at his Still
lives series. It is
a succinct demonstration of the way he would permanently
challenge the truth of the nature, launching a search -
with the most well mastered plastic means - for aspects
and dimensions that nobody ever knew existed inside the
most simple expressions of everyday life like the fruits
, or flowers .
Petrus paintings engage the viewers in a permanent
symbolical, metaphorical and - most of the time - figurative
dialog with elements of fantastic and surreal, coming from
a fabulous imagination whos limits go beyond ones
Visit the page of his Madonnas
and Angels; and youll
discover together with so many others before you, that the
subject matter is only an originating pretext for the artist,
a starting point of his irrepressible need to unfold his
creativity offering the matter yet another possibility to
magically transform itself into another object of adoration
or enchantment.
Not a single Madonna would resemble the other. No
one angel would duplicate another one. Not a single icon
would ever be a copy of another one already created, as
none of his cathedrals or churches representing again and
again the same iconographical program would ever imitate
a precedent one. Petru could never stereotype his creation,
a coping machine never found a place in his brain
matter how diverse Petrus artistic production is,
one would easily notice
his persistent recourse to the figure.
Despite the vast and elaborate versatility of Petrus
entire creation, there
is a leitmotiv that one would
repeatedly encounter throughout his such extensive oeuvre.
Most of his works are centered around the
human figure which, according to his own statements, represents
not only the essence of creation, but also is, in the artists
conception, the most complex, and esthetically provocative
subject of representation.
The human figure is the ultimate philosophical
stone of any plastic representation,
says the artist. While it remains the quintessential principle
of beauty, it is the only subject that performs in art a
secularization of transcendental, making visible the apotheosis
of primordial creation.
... and this is
why I am coming from your future
...continues Petru: it is a future where a new humanism
will be rediscovered, where humans as the symbolical bearers
of the most grandiose secret of creation, would harmonize
once again with themselves, and with the truth of their
own representation.
One can rationalize that the presence of such a massive
crowds of population appearing in many of his most complex
figurative paintings, eluding most of the time any explicit
statements, corresponds to a triumphant metaphysical concept
of beauty in fact, a personal decision of the artist to
contribute his own non-dissimulated spiritual experience
to the transubstantiation of most of these enigmatic figures
into some transcendent, cryptic configurations.
It is a mystifying parallel and also virtual
reality, one of the thousands probably available out
there, that Petru decided to bring to us in a
visual interpretation from the Future,
directly into our temporary and precarious Present.
Petrus visions are far from being only simple
propositions of enchanting and intriguing settings or figures.
In reality, most of the times, a unexplainable complexity
abounds in Petrus paintings... Thematically - complexity
- is, probably, the ever lasting epicenter of his creation.
Yes, complexity,
as opposed to simplicity
( so obsessively inculcated in the majority of contemporary
artistic efforts)...that equals only nothingness or nullity.
It is complexity,
as well, that Petru brings to us from our future.
- that <lieu> in our minds projection, where not only
dreams, but also other
enigmatic, much more complex and evolved selves
are hatched, in secret...
And thus, though the vast majority of his
complex visions gets to be
most of the times transmuted in concepts and ideas, nothing
stops them from also making triumph the esthetic principles
of visual creation.
And if the extraordinary largeness of Petrus
creation is so impressive, his originality and masterful
technique are at every step adding delight and surprise,
as one discover Petrus sophisticated instruments of
art performance...

EA Labels president Frank Gibeau has promised that the game industry is looking to embrace mobile, claiming that the "next wave of tablets and phones will have nearly Xbox 360 or PS3 capabilities in terms of graphics."
Speaking in an interview with IGN Gibeau said "Some of our engine technology that used to be console-specific now can, with modifications, be able to power games on tablets and on phones in the near future. We're just getting ready for that."
Of course, there will never be an easy transition, and Gibeau stressed that there was considerable work ahead of mobile was to ever challenge console gaming.
"You have to redesign the game," said Gibeau. "You can't just bring it over and have a virtual D-pad on the tablet. It doesn't work. You have to re-architect it around touch, voice, camera."
"Our teams are having a lot of fun with that, reimagining an experience on a tablet using the same graphics and assets in some ways, but completely remixing the meal. Same ingredients, completely different meal. That's kind of the way we think about it."
Gibeau's comments tie in with news that EA DICE's Frostbite Engine (that powers games such as Battlefield 4 and Need for Speed) has been expanded to include Frostbite Go - "a mobile division empowering EA game developers with Frostbite's proven excellent workflows and features to bring true Frostbite experiences to all major mobile platforms."
Frostbite Go will not be the first high-profile games engine to make the transition to mobile, with the other notable example being Epic Games' Unreal Engine which now powers graphically-impressive titles such as Infinity Blade II for iOS devices.
Despite this, it should be noted that Gibeau expressly refers to the "next wave" of mobile devices. Clever design and well thought-out games engines may squeeze more and more out of current tablets and smartphones, but these devices will always be limited by processor speed and a lack of dedicated GPUs.Reuse content

Boonsboro Elementary School held an all day event Nov. 30 to celebrate being fully accredited.
"This is the first year we are back to fully accredited," said Beth Williams, the school's principal.
The school once was fully accredited, but slipped from that status. It was a long road back.
"It was a very hard climb to turn it around," she said.
Williams felt the achievement was worth celebrating.
This past weekend, if you watched the Dallas Cowboys game, you probably saw Ezekiel Elliott jump into the gigantic red pot on the field after a touchdown.
Well the celebration resulted in a penalty on the field, excessive celebration, and the extra point was moved back 10 yards.
Well Monday morning the NFL released a statement that Elliott will not be fined because the celebration benefited a charity that the NFL supports.

The recent "Growing For Holiday Centerpieces", put on in conjunction with the Bedford Public Libraries and Bedford Extension Master Gardeners, is just the latest example of educational community outreach by Virginia Cooperative Extension Bedford Master Gardeners.
As the disaster of The Great Stupidity of 2016 sinks in, it's more and more clear how the Electoral College Only victory of Donald Trump is complicated by his bizarre bromance with Vladimir Putin and Russia.
As this was written, the CIA had announced that it was clear Russia had worked covertly to influence the election in favor of Trump. The Wikileaks revelations about DNC e-mails came from Russia.
Donald Trump seems to have triggered a hissing and spitting contest with China's government by accepting a congratulatory phone call from Tsai Ing-wen, Taiwan's president.

Miller column: Here's hoping for more Lakers-Suns games in May
PHOENIX — When he wasn't soaring past him, he was rising over him, Kobe Bryant turning Raja into Taco Bell, late-night feasting on the Suns' top perimeter defender.
After ripping through all of the Phoenix resistance for a staggering dunk, Bryant repeatedly nodded his head yes toward no one and everyone at the same time, this enemy building soundly hushed.
Some on the Lakers' bench were up pumping fists and then Sasha Vujacic and Jordan Farmar were hitting consecutive three-pointers and then Derek Fisher was growling at one of the officials.
Finally, there was Coach Phil Jackson, on his feet, whistling at his players, moving toward the court and barking something bitter at Ronny Turiaf.
Honest, Jackson, often as animated as a urinal cake, was visibly and undeniably coaching.
All this, and it was only the second quarter.
Of an NBA game.
In February.
"This was an important game for us from a confidence perspective," Bryant would explain later. "My message to the guys before the game was, 'Know you can do it, don't just think you can. Know you can.'"
Realize, this generally is the time when most TV viewers would opt to watch the finish of that Magic Bullet infomercial. There is nothing in sports more superfluously necessary than the NBA second quarter.
But, on Wednesday, it was prime-time, must-see.
The premiere of the Desert Diesel — one Shaquille O'Neal — made just another regular-season game vibrate off the screen. The fact it was Lakers vs. Suns made the images vibrate all the way to Southern California and back.
"These guys have eliminated us from the playoffs the past two years," Lakers forward Lamar Odom said. "If you can't get hyped up for Phoenix and you're a Laker, something's wrong with you."
Yes, this game had potential repercussions for the long run, the victorious Lakers gaining a tiebreaker edge and maybe a psychological one, too. It certainly had serious Pacific Division implications, the teams now even in the standings.
But the big picture was too big on this night, a night when the focus was contained by the four lines that define the court.
This was the new Lakers against the old Laker, the glorious memories of O'Neal vs. what remains of O'Neal. This was a collision of the Lakers' past and their future, a bunch of storylines tangling in one magnificent mess.
"It's gonna be fun," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni predicted. "We all want to win the championship … but this is going to be entertaining."
Sadly, what felt like a Game 1 actually was a Game Done. Unless they meet in the playoffs, these teams won't face each other again until sometime around Halloween, at the earliest.
Too bad, because the NBA needs more of what these four quarters delivered, and we don't just mean the 254 total points. People like to say this league has an image problem. If so, this game was an attempted makeover.
"This was definitely a game we were excited to play," Fisher said. "Anybody who had a chance to see this tonight had to feel good about what both teams put out there."
After mostly silence of late, Bryant finally spoke about O'Neal on Wednesday. He also said some stuff after the game, even describing Shaq's bullying baskets in the fourth quarter "pretty awesome to see."
But Bryant's words weren't as telling as his deeds. He scored 41 points, 13 in the fourth quarter. He had a late three-pointer that D'Antoni said, "kind of cut our legs off." He sat out barely two minutes total, the message being that he wanted badly to beat O'Neal.
In the same building where he once famously didn't assert himself in the playoffs, Bryant was as into this game as the basketball was. More than once, it was as if he rose to shoot in February and landed right in the middle of May.
"There was a familiar energy in the building," Bryant said. "It felt like a playoff type of environment. It was fun to be a part of."
Then there was O'Neal lunging after a loose ball and instead chop-blocked one of the referees into the front row. He tried to take a charge from Pau Gasol and somersaulted backward, later explaining, "I took gymnastics when I was little."
After one of his shots was goal-tended by a flying Bryant, O'Neal turned and manically sprinted to the other end, a 7-foot-1, 325-plus-pound cartoon character. Asked about his speed later, he explained, "Steve Nash has instructed me to get my Randy Moss going."
His influence limited until the fourth quarter, O'Neal finished with 15 points and nine rebounds. It was a start for him but not enough for his teammates.
Now the Lakers and Suns head in different directions, while both pointed at the same destination. There's potentially something very large happening here, and we're not talking about O'Neal's presence.
No, this is about two teams and one rivalry. All three only figure to get better.
Here's hoping the Lakers and Suns intersect in the spring. Quite simply, this was too good not to last.

Homeschool Planning
Diane's Quick-Start Guide
-- Homeschooling Methods --
How do you feel about home education?
Should it be really structured or not structured at all? Depending on what you value most, you are sure to find the right homeschooling method for your family and child.
If you like more structure, you might want to consider traditional textbooks, distance learning, or cottage school. The teaching sequence and content are already determined, so all you have to do follow the homeschooling plan laid out for you.
Do you like some structure and direction but also want the flexibility to customize the content as needed? Then try any of these homeschooling methods named after their founders: Montessori, Charlotte Mason, Enki, or Thomas Jefferson.
If you're a little bit more adventuresome and creative, you might like the topical structure of the unit studies method or the skills mastery of authentic classical education.
Finally, some homeschooling parents are content letting the child lead the learning, so if this is you, look into the unschooling method. Of course, you are free to combine a few of your favorite homeschooling methods for an eclectic mix.
Which homeschooling method is best for you?

-- Homeschool Curriculum --
What homeschool curriculum should you use?
After you decide on your educational philosophy, think about how you will teach your kids. What teaching resources do you need to teach the content that you want your kids to learn?
What course of study will you follow this school year? Really, that's what homeschool curriculum is…a course of study or syllabus.
So for instance, if you embrace the classical education method, your course of study (homeschool curriculum) for k-8 years is the classical trivium. You know what you'll teach (3 skills: grammar, logic, and rhetoric); now you need to decide how you'll teach it (classic literature, narration, recitation, and lots of writing). .
If you adopt a pure unit study method, your course of study (homeschool curriculum) would be topical, time-constrained lesson plans, illustrated encyclopedias, and lots of craft supplies.
Under the traditional or distance homeschooling method, your homeschool curriculum might be a language arts textbook, a math workbook, or online science lectures.
Homeschooling is legal in all 50 states, but before you purchase homeschool curriculum, check with your state law to see what they require. Especially at the high school level, you may have to show that you are teaching an education at home that is equivalent to the public school curriculum in five areas: (1) language arts, (2) math, (3) science, (4) social studies, and (5) foreign language.

-- Teaching Strategies --
What teaching strategies should you use?
Generally, your teaching strategies will complement the homeschooling method or educational philosophy you follow. For example, in a traditional homeschooling method, the teacher is the giver of all information; generally, knowledge flows in one direction from teacher to student.
Whereas if your homeschooling plan involves the unschooling method, your teaching strategies may be fluid and spontaneous, contingent upon whatever direction your child takes his learning.
Teaching strategies can be organized by skills (classical curriculum), subjects (traditional), grade levels (cottage school), age (Waldorf), or even learning preferences (Montessori). In reality, most homeschool moms and dads use a variety of teaching strategies to convey knowledge and nurture understanding.
Finally, supplement your homeschool curriculum (remember, course of study) with unconventional learning experiences like field trips, co-ops, tutors, internships, and recorded lectures. Choose what works best for your child.

-- Strategic Planning --
What's the value of planning strategically?
You might be tempted to jump right in and tackle the homeschool year without a clear strategy, but knowing where you're going can make the entire year that much more relaxing. So be intentional about what you want to accomplish this year in your school. Strategic planning can be as simple as three academic goals you want to see in your kids by next summer.
One of the easiest ways to catch some long-term vision is to start with the outcome you want to see, then work backwards. What are your academic essentials? What are your priorities? What spiritual changes do you hope to grow in your child? What character qualities can be improved through academic work? Maybe you want to see progress in your child's academics, tech training, or life experience.
Get specific within each area. For example, is your child struggling in problem-solving? Set your intention…say by the end of the academic year, he'll be getting 8/10 problems right on his daily math assignments, then figure out what areas he needs help with so that you can teach those concepts until they're mastered.
How can you repurpose, maximize efficiency, and accomplish multiple skills mastery (2 for 1) with one activity? Busy work is a no-no! What are your "yes…that worked!" tasks and what are your "no, never again" tasks?
When doing your strategic planning, don't forget the rest of the family. Are there bigger goals that you want to accomplish as a family like serving the community together, taking a trip, or pooling your financial resources for a big purchase? Catch a clear vision, and your homeschool year will be much more fun.
Are you using strategic planning to achieve your short and long-term goals?

-- Homeschool Recordkeeping --
What homeschool records should you keep?
Keeping good homeschool records now will save you a lot of headaches later, especially when you get to high school. Whether you keep a file drawer for each child, electronic homeschool records on your computer, or an annual homeschooling scrapbook, start saving today.
What do you need to include in your annual homeschool record? State homeschooling laws will tell you minimum compliance requirements. You might need to keep attendance records, grades, and standardized test scores. Keep a portfolio of your child's best homeschool work, too.
For high school homeschool records, make a running list of all the classic books and textbooks you've used, writing samples, awards, honors, dual-credit records from the local university, apprenticeship details, and employment info. Keeping a running homeschool record from 7th grade will make compiling the high school transcript much easier when you're ready to apply to colleges.

-- Home Organization --
How should you organize your home for schooling?
One of the biggest threats to a smooth homeschool year is a disorganized home. Home organization is critical to the annual homeschooling plan. Why? A messy house, cranky kids at dinnertime, and a general lack of structure saps your physical, emotional, and spiritual strength. Maximize teaching and learning with a good home organization plan.
How can you get your home organized? First, establish a daily routine. It doesn't have to be set in stone, but generally, when the kids know what to expect each day, they are more cooperative at learning. Start the day with daily devotions, and end the day with quiet reading in the bed.
Establish activity centers for optimal learning. You don't have to have a dedicated schoolroom, but designate certain areas of the house for storing teaching and learning resources. Get a whiteboard, and do all demonstrations at the kitchen table. Store all your reading materials in a basket by the couch. Hide all DVDs by the TV.
Plan your meals, and shop once or twice a week. Share the household chores with every member of the family. Homeschool studies show that home organization is such a critical watershed that some moms don't give up homeschooling because they can't teach the curricula, but because they feel like they can't do it all for the home and school. Honestly, you can't do it all. Get everyone to help.
How can you make your home organization even better for learning?

Berkeley Lab Licenses Boron Nitride Nanotube Technology
New material has unique mechanical and electronic properties.
(510) 486-6491 •
Nearly 20 years ago researcher Alex Zettl of the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) synthesized in his lab a new material never before seen by nature: boron nitride nanotubes, the strongest, lightest, most thermally conducting, and most chemically resistant fiber known to exist. Now a startup has licensed this technology with the aim of manufacturing boron nitride nanotubes for commercial use.
Berkeley Lab has licensed the invention to BNNT LLC, a startup company based in Newport News, Virginia. BNNT has also developed its own technology for producing high-quality nanotubes in large quantities and envisions it for eventual uses in space, satellites, jet engines, cancer therapies, and a wide range of other applications. Its manufacturing technique was developed jointly by the Department of Energy's Jefferson Lab, NASA's Langley Research Center, and the National Institute of Aerospace.
"This shows that resources out of the national infrastructure—Berkeley Lab, Jefferson Lab, and NASA—are supporting startups and putting new technologies in the marketplace," said Roy Whitney, president and CEO of BNNT. "It's very exciting, and could be transformative."
Boron nitride nanotubes were first theorized by Berkeley Lab materials scientist Marvin Cohen in 1994 and made in the lab the following year by Zettl. Whitney said the challenge has been to make long, defect-free nanotubes in large quantities. "In the world of nanotubes quality is a very big deal," he said.
Whitney says BNNT's nanotubes, which look like cotton balls, are 100 times stronger than steel and stable to up to 900 degrees Celsius. Nanotubes are composed of a sheet of material that may be a single atom or a few atoms thick and rolled into a thin cylinder. While carbon nanotubes are more prevalent, boron nitride nanotubes are highly sought after because they are as strong as carbon nanotubes, but they have a much higher resistance to heat, high voltage, and neutron radiation.
Initially, BNNT's customers will be researchers in academic, commercial, or government labs. "If you want to explore the properties of this material, you just really haven't been able to buy it," Whitney said. "Our main customers will be research labs for some time. As people learn what to do with it, they will want to incorporate it into very high-end products."
Whitney said he believed that boron nitride nanotubes will at some point complement the high-end of the market for carbon nanotubes, which are being used in thousands of uses.
"We are excited about this opportunity because boron nitride nanotubes will now take their place with carbon nanotubes for driving innovation in science and industry," said Elsie Quaite-Randall, Berkeley Lab's Chief Technology Transfer Officer and head of the Innovation Partnerships Office.

IE Exploit Lets Attackers Plant Programs on SP2
Updated: New attack finds yet another leak in local resource security that Windows XP Service Pack 2 and subsequent patches were supposed to plug.A security researcher has discovered a new exploit for Microsoft Corp.s Windows XP Service Pack 2 that allows programs to be planted and executed on fully-patched systems. The researcher, known as http-equiv and operator of the malware.com Web site, discovered a weakness in the local security zone of Internet Explorer which, through the use of the HTML Help control, allows security restrictions in the zone to be bypassed.
In combination with a separate vulnerability, in which drag-and-drop operations permit executable content to be placed on the system, the result of the attack is the delivery and execution of potentially hostile code from an external Web site. The researcher provides a proof of concept example on the site.

Eunice Murray
Eunice Guthrie Murray (21 January 1878 – 26 March 1960) was a Scottish suffrage campaigner and author.
Born in Cardross, Murray was educated at St Leonards School, and then undertook voluntary work with the League of Pity. In 1908, she joined the Women's Franchise League, and was soon appointed its secretary for the whole of Scotland outside the major cities. She became its leading figure in Glasgow, and was president of its Scottish Council in 1913. She opposed the undemocratic nature of the Women's Social and Political Union and so did not become involved with it.[1]
During World War I, Murray worked at a munitions factory and on confidential business, but also found time to write her first novel, The Hidden Tragedy. She stood in Glasgow Bridgeton as an independent candidate at the 1918 general election, the only woman to stand in Scotland at the election, although she did not come close to winning the seat.[1]
After the war, Murray wrote Scottish Women of Bygone Days. She became interested in folklore, and campaigned for the creation of a Scottish folk museum.[1]

I'm a big fan of reading magazines and newspapers. After all, the articles are fairly short, sweet, and to the point – much unlike the posts that I make.
The style and convenience of those two forms of media keep me hooked, and lead me to believe that they are quite out the door like some techno-gurus would like to have you believe. But the one advantage that newspapers and magazines have are that they report on news and events that are happening now.
But I asked myself the other day when was the last time I read a book for fun. That's right, for fun. That means reading during my leisure time when I could have been doing something else. I came up to the conclusion that the last one I read for fun was The Masters of Doom, the story of John Romero and John Carmack, the original founders of id Software.
That's a non-fictional biography.
Where are all of the science fiction novels that I used to read when I was a kid? Where are the simple crime novels I used to borrow from the library, read in two days, and return it in exchange for the next one in the series?
Something happens when you get older. Time begins to become a precious commodity and we start assigning importance to all of our daily activities. I think for most people, family and work come first and second (in which order is different for everyone I suppose) while I would suspect leisure activities coming in after. Reading used to be one of my favorite leisure time activities. Why? For one, it was completely free. The local public library became my treasure trove of different books and magazines that I could borrow free of charge and return.
But reading for fun has gone the way of the dinosaur for me now. Nowadays I only read materials I have to (textbooks, research journals, etc) or I feel I should be reading like the newspaper. Now I'm trying to find time to fit in reading back into my schedule, but for now, I just wanted to reminisce about some of the books I enjoyed when I was young.
The Boxcar Children Those zany boxcar kids were a hoot for me when I was young. They had absolutely amazing adventures that never ceased to amaze, and while I admit that the later books really were starting to stretch the bounds of realism, the first book holds a special place in my heart. I think that's the book where they made a fridge from some source of running water. Young MacGyvers!
Ribsy Henry Huggins, where are you? This classic book gave me hours of joy as I read about this energetic dog (on the proverbial search for a family) and his boy owner. Countless sequels kept this dog's adventures going.
My Teacher is an Alien Although I preferred the latter books in this series (especially My Teacher Glows in the Dark), this first book is also very good. How many of us haven't had a teacher who was so mean we thought she must be from another planet? Well, in this series it turns out to be true. My Teacher Flunks the Planet made a lot of different philosophical turns and points in the book which sort of zoom over the head of a 4th or 5th grader (the target audience), but all in all, a great series.
Goosebumps RL Stine was one of my favorite authors when I was a kid (next to Christopher Pike) and it was this series that really captured my attention. This series was later turned into a kids afternoon show, but it was great semi-horror books based on monsters, witchcraft, and fun. My favorite book had to be Night of the Living Dummy, and Monster Blood was good too (think the Blob). Although RL Stine did a lot of great books other than the Goosebumps series (the Fear street series), I'll always remember this one.
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing I was Peter Hatcher when I read this book. As a fourth grader who didn't quite have an identity yet and had younger siblings that drove him crazy (although Fudge is especially wild, not to mention a great nickname), I really felt for Peter and I loved the books, including the spin offs Fudge-A-Mania and Superfudge. There are wildly loveable characters and there is a certain charm to the everyday antics the kids get themselves into. Just great fun all the way around.Powered by Sidelines

Selling my hardly used 18" Stubben Comfort II saddle which was designed for gaited horses, trail riding and endurance.

I'm actually curious as to the answer of that question: why don't people like tapes if analog is so much better than digital?
Besides the obvious problem of tape hiss and lack of dynamic range, what makes a tape worse than a record? I'm not quite old enough to have actually heard a real, quality vinyl setup, but those that I have heard have sounded grainy and muddy, which I percieved to be inherent flaws in the vinyl format. So was it just the quality of the table and the media, or are these real problems even in high quality vinyl gear?

An excellent point. However, Todd and I did listen to the exact same recording on vinyl, then on CD, then on SACD, and there wasn't really even a contest.

The Police Officer Career
Police Detective: A Police Officer Career For The Taking
Police Detectives as Portrayed in the Media. Police detective TV series are on the rise. In fact, not one, but three Crime Scene Investigators or CSI TV series are available for public viewing: CSI New York, CSI Miami and CSI Las Vegas. Before, televiewers were already content with the action and suspense scenes that were packaged with police and detective TV shows, but now, they are clamoring for more. It seems that the adventure and mysterious air that comes along with a police or detective work sparked the curiosity of televiewers. People do not only want to know whodunit; they want to know the How' of catching the perpetrator. These wants of televiewers are the inspiration behind the creation of the CSI TV series and other similar TV shows. What people don't know, however, is that police detectives have an important and risky job that can bring a sense of excitement and adventure as well as fear and grief. Also, what is usually presented on TV is a filtered and hyped-up version of a police detective's life.
Police Detectives of the Real World
Job wise, the detective processes are more painstaking and laborious. It usually takes more time and effort from a police detective to solve a crime than what is depicted in TV shows.
For example, a particular case may require a police detective to interview each and every person in a neighborhood within five blocks from the crime scene. Now, interviews and inquiries are all part of a detective's work. Imagine the effort required from a detective to get to know different types of people having different personalities and coming from different societies and races make them feel safe and comfortable, while at the same time assessing their answers and reviewing their actions or reactions if they have some knowledge on the case. At the end of the day, a police detective has to filter out the interviews and scan the possibilities to at least figure out a suspect or lead.
The work of a police detective is also characterized by a chain of command present in military and police organizations. One subordinate police detective might be doing a particular work under a case while another does something different under the same case, although both are in the dark, unaware of the real objective of their work. Their superior will be the one collating the data for analysis of yet another subordinate police detective.
A police detective is also burdened with redundancy. To the eyes of a layman, redundancy may seem boring but to the police detective, it is more of a necessity that grows in you.
For example, a police detective like all police and military personnel are required to undergo the daily practice of handling their service firearms. Why, because these are guns that commands a responsibility from the owner.
There is also the issue of moral and ethical pressure on the police detective. For one, each day in their work, a police detective is faced with multiple temptations to act on something to their advantage. They will always be tempted to abuse their position and authority as enforcers of the law, especially since they are licensed to carry firearms.
As you can see, the real police detective is not your typical hero of the day as depicted in TV shows that people believe will always do the right thing. In the real world, these people are always faced with a choice to do the wrong or right thing.
What Does A Police Detective Do?
A police detective conducts investigations to be able to solve crimes or prevent one from happening. When a crime is committed, a police detective will examine the crime scene, obtain clues, and gather evidence to try to piece together a real-life puzzle.
Throughout the duration of the case, the police detective will have to record its progress and keep tabs on suspects by maintaining contact with them directly or indirectly. After sufficient evidence has been gathered, he can submit a report to his superior recommending for the issuance of a warrant for the suspect. Only a commanding officer or a magistrate can authorize a warrant.
Handling a case can be quite a journey for a police detective; he will have to look into every possibility while at the same time maintaining the necessary course of the case. Information can be gathered from governmental agencies, and from the result of interviews of complainants or witnesses. More so, the course of the case will be supported further by conducting polygraph tests on the suspects, and depending on the clues obtained from the crime scene, fingerprint tests and other related tests can be conducted to fortify evidence.
The work of a police detective, however, does not end here. A police detective will afterwards have to testify before the courts and stand as a witness. He will have to testify on the truthfulness and accuracy of his investigation for it to have a bearing before the court.
Characteristics Of A Police Detective
A police detective has to have certain characteristics to be able to experience growth in his career. Basic abilities such as reading comprehension and writing, and speaking are important necessities. He needs to be able to communicate effectively in both written and oral aspects, as well as be capable of understanding formed sentences and paragraphs.
A police detective must be capable of active learning. Active learning is simply to understand or perceive the possible implications of new information relative to the case. A clue is hard to come by without a perception of its relevance.
Critical thinking is also important to a police detective. He must use logic and reasoning to be able to identify the right solution to a problem. There are also numerous approaches to a problem which a police detective has to choose from. The work of a police detective comes to its most challenging part when he is evaluating and analyzing the clues and evidence and trying to make sense out of it.
Customarily, a police detective uses more of his brain and social skills than his body in his work. Though, in real life, a police detective can never be really sure he has the need to sprint a mile during police operations. Such work entails that the police detective be physically able to defend or attack a known assailant. He must also be adept in handling his service firearm

Police Training Books - Police Training Books are without question an incredible asset when trying to become a police officer. Experienced officers know that failure to prepare for the position of police officer can literally mean getting the job or not.
Burned Out - Burn out is normal for most jobs. However, there must be a relief for the stress whether it be in law enforcement or any other professions.
Careers in Criminal Justice - Making sure your college credits are accredited and recognized by the U.S. Department of Education is a critical fact finding process when deciding on a college.
Benefits - A Criminal Justice degree, while not a substitution or waiver for police academy training, is an excellent educational field for those interested in various fields within the criminal justice system.

Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO's) defeated WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-5, 7 KO's) by a 12 round split decision at the on Saturday night to win his WBA title at the Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York, USA. The judges had it 115-113, 117-111 for Broner, and 115-113 for Malignaggi.
You can make an argument that the fight should have been scored a draw, as Broner did little in the first 5 rounds of the fight other than covering up in the turtle shell defense.
Broner failed to set himself apart from Malignaggi in terms of talent in this fight because he just didn't work hard enough.
The referee let Broner get away with a number of fouls in the fight. Broner hit on the break, punched Malignaggi while he had his back turned to Malignaggi, and he also appeared to knee him at one point. Any one of those things could have been called a foul.
Heavyweight Seth Mitchell (26-1-1, 19 KO's) was able to defeat Johnathon Banks (29-2-1, 19 KO's) by a dull 12 round majority decision to capture the WBC International heavyweight title. The final judges scores were 115-112, 117-109, 114-114.
Mitchell knocked Banks down with a right hand rabbit punch in the 2nd round. In the 3rd, Banks staggered Mitchell and had him out on his feet. However, Banks stopped punching for the most part and did very little in the remaining rounds outside of a few hard shots in the 8th that staggered Mitchell again.
There was very little action in the fight, as both guys looked like they were afraid to throw punches. It was understandable for Mitchell because each time he was hit hard in this fight he was staggered, but Banks had no excuse.
The crowd was booing off and on for most of the fight, but it failed to motivate either fighter to do much other than jab, hold and throw occasional wild shots.
Mitchell took control over the fight from the 5th round by throwing jabs and mostly smothering Banks on the ropes.
All in all, both of these heavyweights looked horrible and you have to wonder whether Golden Boy Promotions is regretting that they made this the co feature bout. Mitchell looks like he's going nowhere. He may get a title shot in the future because of his highly inflated ranking but he's going to get destroyed by either of the Klitschkos. It would be interesting to see how Deontay Wilder would do against Mitchell. I have a feeling that Wilder would knock him out with a single punch in the 1st round because Mitchell's chin is really suspect.
In a wild fight without a lot defense, Sakio Bika (32-5-2, 21 KO's) was able to pull out a 12 round majority decision victory over the tough as nails Marco Antonio Periban (20-1, 13 KO's) to capture the vacant WBC super middleweight title. Judges scored it 114-114, 116-112 and 115-113.
Periban showed good power, but he faded in the last 8 rounds of the fight after getting off to a good start in the first three rounds. Bika deserved the win because he was the one forcing the fight on Periban and landing the better shots in the last half of the fight.

Victory was handed to the German group, which raised its offer to pounds 684m on Friday, after rival bidder UniChem bowed out of the fray, saying it would not increase its own offer. The announcement allowed Gehe to swoop on over 57 per cent of Lloyds' shares, taking its holding and acceptances to a commanding 78.4 per cent. UniChem, which netted a profit of around pounds 3m selling its near 10 per cent stake in Lloyds to Gehe yesterday, saw its shares jump 13.5p to 269.5p on relief that it had decided not to top the new bid, which has been recommended by the Lloyds board.
Gehe will now own one of the largest chains of pharmacies in the UK. Lloyds' 900-odd outlets, added to the 360 outlets in its existing AAH group, will create a new chain of over 1,200 chemists, just ahead of Boots, hitherto the market leader. The group will command around 33 per cent of drugs distribution to independent chemists, a couple of percentage points ahead of UniChem.
Dieter Kammerer, Gehe's chairman, said he could not reveal full details of his plans for the new group ahead of a meeting with Lloyds management tomorrow. But he said the first task would be streamlining the two organisations, particularly the distribution network, which largely duplicates the one belonging to AAH. This would be "straightened out pretty fast", he said, and could involve redundancies, although they would not be on a large scale.
