A report from the New York Times says Fox News' parent company 21st Century Fox has seen the sustained pressure from advertisers as too much, and a final decision about O'Reilly's future will be made in the next few days. O'Reilly is the country's top-rated cable news host, but the amassing reports of a string of sexual harassment allegations against him may make him too much of a liability for 21st Century Fox. Already 50 advertisers have pulled ads from his show, and the New York Times says the support of Fox's owners, the Murdoch family, is "eroding." MG
Fox News is getting ready to give Bill O'Reilly the boot
Expect more ransomware attacks, since victims keep paying
Another ransomware attack is disrupting systems in Europe, from computers at a British ad agency to radiation sensors at the Chernobyl power plant, the BBC reports. Computers at Danish shipping giant Maersk were also affected, the company said.
And security experts say the malware, which Symantec researchers report is using one of the same exploits as last month's massive WannaCry attack, likely won't be the last of its kind for the simple reason that ransomware victims really do pay to recover their files. An expert speaking to the BBC pointed to reports that a South Korean web hosting provider recently paid a ransom of about $1 million in bitcoin, and Symantec said in a report earlier this year that 64% of American victims, and 34% of victims worldwide, are willing to pay a ransomware bounty to recover their files.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, that report also found the average ransom demand on the rise, up to more than $1,000 per victim. SM
Washington Post employees' social media accounts may begin dying in darkness
As things currently stand, if a Washington Post reporter tweets something bad about Panda Express, and Panda Express happens to be a Post advertiser, then that reporter can get fired. That's according to the paper's new social media policy, which is currently being protested by its union. These rules went into effect on May 1, reports the Washingtonian.
The policy says that employees cannot disparage products or services of the company's "advertisers, subscribers, competitors, business partners, or vendors." It also forbids workers from using social media on the job, unless it's part of their authorized role.
Perhaps worst of all, the policy encourages employees to contact HR if they see someone in violation of the rules. Which is to say they are asking for snitches.
Other older journalistic institutions have had run-ins with social media policy woes. The New York Times, for instance, has asked that its reporters not "editorialize" on social media. But this instance differs from most others because of how broad and clear the Post's new rules are. And I imagine they could have a chilling effect with the paper's current and future employees. CGW
Broadway has a wage-gap problem, too
For the first time ever, the Actors' Equity Association has released a diversity report. It details the salaries that theater workers have received for Broadway, Off Broadway, and nationally touring shows, as well as statistics about job demographics. The findings, unfortunately, keep with the broader labor narratives facing the United States.
The big take-home: There are fewer job opportunities and lower salaries for women and people of color. The study showed that men "have higher contractual salaries in both principal in a musical and chorus contracts," writes Playbill. Similarly, white actors had higher contractual salaries than people of color. African-Americans, specifically, made 10% less than white people.
So while industries like tech that (rightfully) see headlines discussing poor diversity showings and wage gaps, it continues to be a problem virtually everywhere.

Amazing, but true: More than 25% of all humans use Facebook
As a tech journalist who writes frequently about Facebook, I've referred to the size of the service's user base in many ways over the years. Recently, I've been using "nearly 2 billion users." Well, as of today, neither I nor anyone else needs to use the word "nearly" anymore.
That's because, as CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted today, the service has crossed the 2 billion mark. Think about that. There's roughly 7.5 billion people on Earth. That means 26.6% of all the people in the world are active Facebook users. So how did the company reach that impressive number? My colleague Harry McCracken has the scoop on how the company used science and empathy to cross the 2 billion line. DT
Spotify is launching a world tour—no headphones required
Soon you'll be able to listen to your favorite Spotify playlist without a subscription or even earbuds. This summer, Spotify is launching "RapCaviar Live," a six-city tour in partnership with Live Nation, based on the popular playlist, the company announced on Tuesday.
The festivities will kick off August 12 in Atlanta with the self-anointed Trap God, Gucci Mane, along with uber-producer Mike WiLL Made It and a bunch of still-unannounced special guests. Tickets go on sale on Friday, June 30, at 10 a.m. ET. The tour will then move through Chicago, Houston, L.A., NYC, and Toronto, but artists for those shows have not been announced yet. (Hopefully they nail down hip-hop stars before Amazon moves into concert promotion, too.)
"RapCaviar Live" is the latest way that Spotify is cashing in on its impressive cache of fan data to help book shows and connect artists with their fans; it's also flexing its muscles to help sell tickets. Read more about that here, while trying to guess how long it will take for Tidal to start booking tours, too. Just kidding! They already did. ML
Oscar Mayer now has a "Wienerdrone" because obviously that's how you deliver hot dogs in the future
Our weird future can be summed up in one word: Wienerdrone. Oscar Mayer's Wienermobile (aka the original wiener on wheels) has been a fixture hogging up parking places on the city streets for years, but as we move toward a future filled with flying cars and driving-flying drones, the Wienermobile is evolving, just like Darwin predicted.
Oscar Mayer has just unveiled the Wienerdrone, the flying hot-dog shaped advertisement that is the perfect prediction/indictment of where we are heading as a society—with hot dogs!
A pharma exec was sentenced to nine years in prison for profiting from a meningitis outbreak
A Massachusetts pharmacy executive at the center of a deadly meningitis outbreak was sentenced to nine years in prison on Monday for putting profits above safety.
A federal jury convicted Barry Cadden, the owner and head pharmacist of New England Compounding Center, of racketeering and fraud charges in connection with the outbreak, Reuters reports. Cadden was cleared of second-degree murder charges for the outbreak that killed 76 people in what the DOJ has called the largest public health crisis ever caused by a pharmaceutical product. The outbreak occurred when Cadden started to produce drugs in dangerously unsanitary conditions (moldy gloves! unlicensed pharmacist!) sending more than 17,000 vials of the steroid tainted across the country. The contaminated steroid, which was commonly prescribed for back pain, caused injury or death in some 778 people nationwide. According to the Washington Post, back in 2014, federal prosecutors filed a 131-count indictment against Cadden and 13 others, claiming they "operated more like a criminal enterprise than a pharmacy."

CNN helpfully fact-checks Donald Trump's tweet about its "way down" ratings
If textbook writers are looking for examples of irony, they would do well to include the latest tweet from Donald Trump—and a sharp rebuttal from CNN. Trump tweeted that "Fake News CNN" had its "Ratings way down!" which he said was due to the network being "caught falsely pushing their phony Russian stories."
"Fake News CNN" quickly rebutted the president's claim, tweeting that in its reality (the fact that whose reality even needs to be specified is stupefying), the network had just posted its most-watched second quarter in history. Fake news indeed.
CNN just posted it's most-watched second quarter in history. Those are the facts.— CNN Communications (@CNNPR) June 27, 2017
Yesterday, CNN said three journalists have left the network in the aftermath of a now-retracted Russia-related story. More on that bit of real news here.

Google responds to the EU fine with a "What about Amazon?" defense
Google was just fined a record $2.7 billion by the European Union over its promoted shopping search results. The commission alleges that Google, by cherry-picking the top results for online purchase queries, distorts the market. Google, however, would like to point out that it's not the only big player in town.
In a blog post published this morning, Google SVP and general counsel Kent Walker writes that the company is actually helping keep the market fair from other competitors. The digital ad juggernaut, you see, is just protecting us plebes from the other digital juggernauts also trying to distort the market. "Thousands of European merchants use these ads to compete with larger companies like Amazon and eBay," he writes.
He goes on to say that Amazon's influence and growth has also had a big impact on smaller sites and sales. He explains, "As Amazon has grown, it's natural that some comparison services have proven less popular than others." What's next for Google? After shifting the blame to Amazon, it says it's considering appealing the EU's decision.

This bed startup used a century of research to create a suite of products optimized for the perfect night's sleep
Tucked away in a corner of Atlanta, Serta Simmons has a high-tech facility devoted to understanding what goes into a good night's sleep. The company has spent over a century conducting research about the optimal temperature and light conditions for sleep, as well as the kinds of materials that go into crafting the most supportive bed. It has channeled all of these insights into a new independent subsidiary called Tomorrow.
Today, the brand launches a full suite of products designed to give a person the most restful night of sleep possible. The first step is, of course, the bed, which is designed to give the right amount of support and help regulate your body temperature. But the full system also involves two different types of pillows, a temperature regulating mattress protector, 500-thread-count sheets, a comforter, blackout drapes, and a tracker that is able to continually record data for one or two sleepers. "Until now, the only way we've been able to measure sleep has been by calculating how much time you've been asleep," says Brian Murphy, founder and president of Tomorrow.
While other brands have tried to tackle one piece of the sleep puzzle–the pillow, for instance, or the most comfortable sheets–Tomorrow's goal was to use all available information to create a comprehensive system. By taking a direct-to-consumer approach, Tomorrow is able to sell mattresses starting at $550 (which arrive in a box, Casper-style), and the full system of products starts at $1,300. ES
Florida now allows unmanned delivery robots on sidewalks
The Sunshine State is the fourth state to allow automated delivery robots on sidewalks and crosswalks, reports Recode. There are a few caveats: The robots cannot weigh more than 80 lbs. or go faster than 10 miles per hour. Florida joins Virginia, Idaho, and Wisconsin in allowing robots on sidewalks. MG
Google just got fined a record-breaking $2.7 billion by the EU for manipulating search results
The fine is well above the expected $1.2 billion dollars many were expecting and comes after a seven-year inquiry by the European Commission into whether Google broke anticompetitive regulations by favoring search results leading shoppers to Google's Shopping service instead of rival shopping comparison sites, reports Bloomberg. Google is expected to appeal, but, if it would lose, the company could be forced to tweak its algorithms to how it ranks sites in search results, potentially affecting the company's core business globally.

The Sheriff's Office is once again participating in the "National Take-Back Day" in an effort to removed unwanted, unused, and potentially dangerous controlled substances and over the counter medications from our medicine cabinets. This event will be held this Saturday, October 29th from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. There will be two separate drop off points that members of the public may use. The first drop off location will be outside the Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division located at 206 West 8th Street in Mountain Home. The second location will be in front of the Staples store in Mountain Home, which is located in the shopping center adjacent to Wal-Mart.
The National Take-Back Day provides an opportunity for the public to surrender expired, unwanted, or unused pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications for destruction. These drugs are a potential source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable risk to children and to public health and safety. This event is intended to bring national focus to the issue of increasing pharmaceutical controlled substance abuse.
Research has shown that Arkansas has the worst teen prescription pain reliever abuse problem in the entire United States. Arkansas has consistently ranked among the top ten states with the highest rate of non-medical use of pain relievers by 12 to 2 year old persons since 2002. Arkansas' sixth graders have been shown to abuse prescription drugs more than any other substances except alcohol and cigarettes. Many of those children between 12 to 17 years of age reported they obtained prescription pain relievers and stimulants from friends or relatives 71% of the time, often stolen from medicine cabinets. It is vitally important for the safety of our youth that unused and unneeded prescription medications be properly disposed of.
In the past, flushing medications and drugs seemed to be a safe and responsible method of disposal. We now realize that the drugs do not completely disintegrate and are contaminating our waterways. Wastewater treatment plants and septic systems are not generally designed to treat pharmaceutical waste. The risk to the health of our waters is significant when we contribute to pollution by what we pour down our drains. This ends up in our creeks, rivers, and lakes, and it places our drinking water supply at unnecessary risk.
Sampling of drugs turned in
The National Take-Back Day program is FREE and "No Questions Asked". The drop off locations will accept pills and medications in the bottle or in a bag or other disposable container. People may remove any or all labels from the bottles or containers if they wish. The process is very easy…..simply drive up and drop them off. There will be Sheriff's Office personnel and/or volunteers available to assist you.
In addition to this specific event, the Sheriff's Offices also has a secure drop-off lock box outside the Criminal Investigation Division Offices on 8th Street that can be used at any time. This lock box is under 24 hour recorded video surveillance for security purposes.
All pills and pharmaceuticals collected will later be destroyed using our drug incinerator equipment. Anyone having questions about The National Take-Back Day or drop off procedures may contact the Sheriff's Office for information.

ASP.NET is the successor technology to Active Server Pages (ASP), the world?s most successful development environment for building server-side web applications. ASP.NET leverages the power of Microsoft?s new .NET platform to allow you to write dynamic, data-driven applications that run over the World Wide Web.In Programming ASP.NET, Jesse Liberty and Dan Hurwitz teach you everything you need to know to write web applications and web service applications. The book focuses on ASP.NET development using both C# and Visual Basic .NET, and coding examples are presented in both languages.Programming ASP.NET includes a detailed tutorial on Web Forms, which, in conjunction with Visual Studio .NET, allow you to apply Rapid Application Development techniques (including drag-and-drop control placement) to web development. Programming ASP.NET includes extensive coverage of each type of server control, including Web server controls, HTML server controls, and custom controls.Since most web applications and web services involve retrieving data and returning it to a client browser, Programming ASP.NET also offers extensive coverage of data access issues. These include topics such as using ASP.NET's list-bound controls; accessing data using the ADO.NET object model, and updating data with or without transaction support.Programming ASP.NET also discusses such advanced topics as:
Jesse Liberty is the best selling author of Programming ASP.NET, Programming C#, and a dozen other books on web and object oriented programming. He is president of Liberty Associates, Inc., where he provides contract programming, consulting and on-site training in ASP.NET, C#, C++ and related topics. Jesse has been a Distinguished Software Engineer at AT&T and Vice President for technology development at CitiBank.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Programming ASP.NET is a stingray. The stingray is a cartilaginous fish, distinguished from other types of rays by the saw-edged, venomous spines that adorn its whip-like tail. Stingrays have flat, disk-shaped bodies without distinct heads. They have well-developed pectoral fins, which undulate to propel their bodies through the water. Stingrays' eyes are on the top sides of their bodies, while their mouths are on their undersides. Because of this, they cannot see what they are eating and sometimes leave "hickeys" on scuba divers.Stingrays live in shallow bays, sounds, and in-shore waters with sandy bottoms. They usually keep to the ocean floor and will flatten themselves against the ground to hide from predators. Despite their venomous tail spines, stingrays are not aggressive and will flee from danger whenever possible. They feed on mollusks, crustaceans, and some types of small fish. Sharks often prey on them, even though the two are closely related. Catherine Morris was the production editor for Programming ASP.NET. Jane Ellin, Sue Willing, and Catherine Morris were the proofreaders . Emily Quill, Judy Hoer, and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. David Chu, Julie Flanagan, Matt Hutchinson, and Darren Kelly provided production assistance. Judy Hoer wrote the index.Emma Colby designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.David Futato designed the interior layout. Mihaela Maier converted the files from Microsoft Word to FrameMaker 5.5.6 using tools created by Mike Sierra. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. The tip and warning icons were drawn by Christopher Bing. This colophon was written by Linley Dolby.

What a load of Rubbish!
By Roquette
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Programming ASP .NET:
This is the worst text book it has ever been my misfortune to buy. Throughout the book the text supports the examples rather than the other way around. It is almost always assumed that the user is coding in the VS.net IDE. The index is not worth a candle and the level of ommissions is staggering. Whats more if you want to find specific information on a give topic, even if the information is included in the book you may never find it.

Programming ASP.NET Review
By Kenneth Prat
An excellent and comprehensive resource. The choice to include most examples in both languages (C# and VB.Net) mystifies me.Most programmers will be familiar with some derivative of either language and the syntax details are mostly irrelevant to the topic at hand.
(2 of 2 customers found this review helpful)
By David Truxall
As an experienced ASP developer, this was a great book to get started with ASP.Net. Excellent broad coverage of many topics. Only 4 owls though as it didn't take too long before I was wanting more information than the book provided, like detail about web.config settings or form-based authentication. It covers the basics but not enough for a professional implementation.This book is a great as a first step into ASP.Net for someone who already knows ASP, but it is not the only book you will need about ASP.Net.

By Nick P.
Good book to get you going in ASP.net. I like the fact that all examples are in both VB and C# (we have both in our shop). We have a group of very experianeced ASP developers that were chomping at the bit to get going with ASP.Net and this book is a good starting point. Once again, good job Jesse!

Programming ASP.net, 01 February 2002
By John
I liked the book and it had an excellent coverage of controls and forms. It wasn't a good choice for me as a beginning ASP.NET developer as I was unfamiliar with some of the language principles that C developers are already aware of, like inheritance. I also found the manual approach to working with the datasets burdenson, more time could have been spent on using the Visual studio UI to accomplish these tasks. Finally, the examples (especial in the ADO.NET section), built upon each other to an extent where I could not get them to work, and thus couldn't be sure I really learned the core material.

By Daryl Avery
This is my 1st O'Reilly book purchase and I must say this book is an execellent choice. I find this book very interesting and for me learning ASP.Net for the 1st time, transitioning from a client server developer to a web application developer was not so difficult with this book as a resource. I have purchased two more O'Reilly books (ASP.Net in a Nutshell & Programming VB.Net) and I think I am going to enjoy them also.-Daryl
By Mike
I read Programming C# prior to reading this book. Both books cover .NET framework and related material very thoroughly. I now feel comfortable reading Microsoft .NET documentation on the web. The only suggestion I have is to reduce the size of this book by designing and implementing a source code expansion button much like Microsoft does within the VS.NET IDE when it hides IDE's code. Great job Jesse.
By Martin Colwell
As with every O'Reilly book I've bought (10+, some I've loaned out have never come back, a sure sign that folk like them...) this one is top notch.Liberty dishes out the goods in concise style, while leaving enough space for professionals to fill in the gaps.I'm using his C# book also, and between them I have no problems finding my way around .Net world.Nice one guys, keep up the good work.
By Michael Waddell
I spent several hours comparing books on creating Web Forms applications. This one is the best. It covers more material than its competitors; it's better organized; it explains how to create programs using a simple text editor, and then explains how to best create them using VisualStudio.Net; It includes both C# and VB.Net versions of every example; and it's very easy to find what you are looking for. A required tool for .Net developers.

When I go out to look at my hives (and not touch them), I slip a light-weight green net over my head just in case one decides to go for my face. (This happened once and I'd rather not repeat it.)This type of net is sold in sporting goods stores as face camouflage for deer hunters who hunt with bows. It compresses to about the size of a handkerchief in my pocket so I tend to carry it with me when I am outside in case I decide to walk down the field to the hives. This is the same net I wear over my sun hat when bushhogging with the tractor during yellow jacket season (along with long sleeves, gloves, etc!).An observation: I think the green makes me invisible to the bees - even if one gets interested in buzzing at me it ignores my face. Maybe I look like a big green non-threatening weed. It also helps to wear a green shirt. In fact, I'm thinking of dying my entire bee suit green.Now if I wear my bright blue tee shirt with "TEXAS" written in big fluorescent orange/red letters on the front, for some reason my normally well-behaved little sweethearts get all stirred up! :)JKJ
I have to question, you opened a hive without a veil? You looked in? Just because you got away with it in the past and that you think they are docile, I have to question the intelligence of the act.This is my second year beekeeping and I always suit up.Suit, veil, gloves, smoker, I take no chances. I was beekeeping with someone on a platform and they were up there with shorts on and the veils just loosely on. I look at this and I have to question the intelligence factor of people who are by most regards quite intelligent. Then a bee gets up in their veil and she stings them on their nose. And later they told me "I got stung ten times on my leg one day working another hive.â€Ten times? I get stung once and I change what I was doing right then and there. I have my smoker always at hand. Mostly it's because I pinch one next to my suit that I get stung. I am pretty sure that person was wearing shorts at that time too. A word comes to mind – "Idiot†seems to fit.I heard a story about people being stung a lot of times in the fingers working a hive. How about they sting you once you put your gloves on? I went to a community garden we have here in San Francisco and they had placed their hive right near the gate to the garden with the opening pointed right into the garden, you had to cross right in front of the flight path, I mentioned this might not be a good thing. They wanted to do it this way so people could SEE the bees at the opening. They were buzzing me. Actually they were buzzing the person who did it right at their nose; I was just waiting for the guard bee to sting him there. I left; what has happened to "common sense?â€I'm a Sous chef and if I burn or cut myself I change what I was doing. It usually has to do with a momentary laps of intelligence. I try to keep this at a minimum. I ask myself very quickly, why was my concentration broken?How about we look at it this way."I was butchering a leg of lamb and I nicked myself, it was ok it happens, so I just went on the same way and I nicked myself another ten times. It's ok, I'm tough, I'm macho.â€I actually have worked with cooks like this and they were misinformed, Stupid is a good word for it.I think some beekeepers are mistaking machismo for stupidity.This is right up there with people snorkeling and screwing with scorpion fish. It's ok, I've never had a problem in the past.

dog farts are the worst!!
I was a real wreck when I thought about how she would be when she finally went blind. She was very skittish and fearful of new people when she could see, I thought she might end up in a corner just trembling and cowering if she could not see. It had to be about her Q.O.L. not what I wanted, so I decided she would have to be put down if it came to that because that is no Q.O.L. for any animal.
Luckily she came through it with a never quit attitude and she is actually less fearful not being able to see than she was when she could
She is less afraid now of things and people that creeped her out before.
I could not have asked for a better outcome other than her not loosing the eyes in the first place.
and yes she took it all a lot better than I did

[QUOTE=cameron69;3340196]blind dogs actually can do very well on their own, even better with help from their humans. she does really awesome, better than I was ever expecting when we realized she would be blind some day. when she lost her first eye the eye doctor told us we would have between 3-31 months before the other eye would go, she made it 33 months.[QUOTE]
Its an amazing thing isnt it? My grandpas 14 year old dashound has been diabetic for going on 3 yrs now. I give her incluin twice a day in the back of the neck along with feeding her special food. About a year into it her vision started to go, and now she it totally blind and eyes are a glazed over cloud, kinda freaky looking at her, always thought it would be funny to get her a set of goggles like motorcycle dogs have. She can sense when I walk in the door because she only seems to bark at me which my grandpa finds funny but I find it amazing because Ive tested this over and over and no barking with my gf or her kids running around. But like your dog, she has the whole house mapped out and as long as we dont go moving stuff around and pick up after oursevles like we should then she is fine, every once in awhile she will take a wrong turn but once I straighten her out she is good again. I do it for my grandpa because he loves this dog and her Q.O.L is also good but she has lived way longer than I thought she would with incilin. Sorry to hear your dog got hurt, but when we leave(my grandpa rarely leaves the house by his own choice so someone is always there with her) we do put her in a kenel and she knows whats up and lays down in her bed. Like a safe zone because we feared she would get hurt looking for grandpa. I hope your dog has a good and speedy recovery!

Absolutely amazing! That is one lucky dog! I'm sure a lot of people would've put her down when the 2nd eye went, for her to be able to do the things she enjoys still is amazing. My 1st dog since I moved away from home is 13 and I would've done the same as you have.

Just wanted to thank you for taking such great care of her. I hate to read all the bad things about people that somehow can't take care of their dogs because of the stupidest shit and end up putting them down or giving them up. The smallest things with our kids freaks me out and I would do anything for them. I'm glad to read that others are like that too. Thanks again and hope she heals up her broken leg soon. :) Hugs for the puppy.

updates on Sasha.
We went to the vet Saturday, Monday and Thursday in the last 7 days resulting in a new bandage per visit. She DOES NOT want that thing on her leg anymore! The cone they had given her was too short so now we have a new longer one, and it is going on be on her when ever we are not able to physically be with her. Also got some lickguard to hopefully help keep her away from it.
The Dr. says her bone is healing nicely albeit slow. It has mended enough that Monday they decided to remove the splint and just put on a soft bandage for support so she can start walking on it. They want her lightly using it to help promote growth in the bone. She had the toes open on Mondays bandage so she could actually walk on it properly but she would still favor it as it had been in a splint for 6 weeks and a few days, so it's gonna be sore for a bit. Yesterdays bandage was done by a different vets office and tech so they wrapped the toes and she can't walk on it properly again, so she is keeping it off the ground. which is fine by me, as I want that bone healed! We are keeping her inactive and keeping a close eye on her when we are home. She is tired of that thing on her leg, as are we but we gotta stick it out for a bit longer. More x-rays on 5-13 so hopefully the bandage can come off and just keep her moving slow for a bit after that, and we will be all set. I will get some pictures of her in the cone of shame tonight for some public humiliation therapy.

Hi - am a white belt with about six months experience in BJJ.
Have realised that I'm doing ok learning the drills but really need to work on sparring, which is probably not where it should be.
Would be really keen to hook up with a training partner/s interested in doing specific sparring to perfect certain techniques and also free sparring to build my overall experience level. Gi and/or no-gi.
Train 2-3x week so got the basics of technique in place, now need to start applying them a bit better - I'd like to expand on the sparring that I'm doing in class.
Am based in London - Clapham - and would prob be looking to train on the weekends.
Let me know if any interest out there!

Right, I'm guessing it's something to do with the two teams who reach the final. Perhaps 1970 is the only time where the two teams in the final beat the teams who competed in the previous final along the way. Bit of a long-shot like! ie in 1970 Brazil beat England in the Group stage, and Italy knocked out West germany. This time round if it were, for example an Argentina-France final, they would have achieved this feat.
I'm gonna guess that my guess is wrong, so I'll just ask, am I right with it being to do with the two teams reaching the final?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
A compression test on an engine that has sat cold for a month and all the oil has leaked down is probably going to be so inconclusive as to be next to worthless - and if he has never done one before, he won't know what he is even looking at. Not that this is a bad suggestion - but he really needs to have someone run the test who has done it before.
BillyBoi, you have a 2001 Focus but you didn't tell us the trim level or the type of engine so we cannot even start making any reasonable guesses.
Post the VIN and we can look it up and tell you what you have.
From the description is really sounds like you are running on 3 cylinders. These 4 cylinder engines will shake like the dickens if they lose a cylinder. This could be anything from something simple like your coil is shot or plugs and wires have trouble to something major like you lost a valve seat
|When i was reading i thought it was the fuel pump but you figured that out. Possibly run a compression test. its like 20$ for it and you plug it into the spark plug hole and let the engine crank over a few times. after you do all 4 cylinders (i dont know what the compression should be, someone here should know) that will let you know if your engines still good. Go to a shop and run a diagnostics check on your car. the person there will know what your talking about if you dont. that will rule out some more problems you think you might have. Thats pretty much all you can do for a cheap amount of money. and if that fails, its time to buy a new car i guess. hope this helps alittle :)
Problem with Engine:
Hey guys, I'm new here (although I have been browsing for quite some time) and after experiencing this problem for about three months I think it's time to get help from all you guys who seem to be very helpful. Before I explain, I'd like to note I know pretty close to nothing about cars so it's hard to ask whether I checked this/that because most of the time I don't know what it is you speak of, I'll do my best though.
Ok so about three months ago my girlfriend took my 2001 ford focus to the gas station around the corner to grab me a cup of coffee before work, I told her to put two dollars in gas just to hold me off until I got to work because the gas station there was a lot cheaper and I planned on filling up - she forgot to. On the way home she said it started to stutter and instead of going straight, she turned onto a hill and it struggled bad... she made it all the way home though (again, not too far). We had her mom bring us some gas, I put it in and then drove to a nearby gas station and put in yet another five dollars in. The whole time the car stuttered and shook... and tried to die at stop signs/etc. I talked to a buddy and he suggested putting in an engine treatment because of running low might have got some "crud" into the lines, I did so and it seemed as if it worked. The guy at Auto zone said after a few days of driving and a few times of filling up that it would fix the issue, so I left assured.
<<Fast forward to two days later>>
So I'm on my way to work and when i reach a stop sign down the roan and proceed to turn left... the car begins to die... so I go straight and head towards my Gf's house, the car makes it there... up her drive way and then shuts off. Upon talking to a buddy he suggested it was the fuel filter... so a few days later (payday) I went ahead and replaced that and had him put it in. The car started up just fine.... although after driving it around the corner I noticed it wouldn't accelerate past like 30mph... no matter how hard I was flooring it.
<<Fast forward to two weeks later>>
So after about two weeks my buddy then suggests it might be my spark plugs/wires, after looking up symptoms online and stuff it sounded promising. I went ahead and bought the "kit" and had him put those in as well. While he was putting them in he noticed two of the plugs were dead or something (engine didn't change or something, he ran a test) and one was actually filled up with a little bit of oil due to an oil leak I have. So, we assumed that was it and I fired her up and took it for a spin around my block.. it stuttered... wouldn't accelerate past 30mph and would sometimes like "surge" (engine would like growl as if I was pushing a ton of power to it) and then jerk really bad... but still not go past 30mph. Eventually the car died on a road near my house and we pulled it back, oddly enough it would keep starting up if you would unplug the battery and then plug it back in... but my buddy says that's fail safe systems that cars have to prevent damage or something along those lines.
<<Fast forward to month later>>
So after time going by the guys from work are telling me that it's now probably a fuel pump issue, so I buy a fuel pump and they put it in. I fire the car up, drive around the corner... it wont accelerate and then dies, we have to tow it back.
<<Fast forward to now>>
So here I am, I have been without a working vehicle for about three months (bills are tough which explains the long time without repair). I'm still short on money so taking it to a mechanic is not preferred if I can avoid it and considering it wont drive means I'd also have to get it towed, which is even more. People keep telling me it's this and that... but I continue to replace stuff and nothing changes, I just don't understand. One guy said it was my transmission but how can her running out of gas cause that?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, income tax time is now and once I file I could bring to a shop although I know it'll cost me a great deal and I don't want to spend my whole return on a car of which I wont be driving for TOO much longer.

2007 Mercedes-Benz E550 4MATIC Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2007 Mercedes-Benz E550 4MATIC based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Vehicles equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission may develop a rough shifting condition, most commonly going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Our technicians tell us this is due to an internal component failure. Mercedes has released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled to complete the necessary repairs.
The camshaft adjuster solenoid (which is related to the variable valve timing system) may fail or timing chain/balance shaft components may wear, resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light and various drivability issues. Mercedes-Benz has released a service bulletin outlining specific repair instructions depending on fault codes stored.
The Mercedes Benz E550 4Matic may have engine oil seeping or leaking from the back of the cylinder heads. This is commonly misdiagnosed as leaking valve covers.
On the back of the cylinder heads there are three, in total, plastic expansion plugs that plug access ports to the camshafts. These plugs are well known for seeping oil, and leaking if left unattended. The oil will run down the back of the engine and eventually make it to the ground.
Replacement of these three plastic plugs is extremely simple, and should be done as regular maintenance. The recommended interval for replacement is every 60,000 miles.
Water can damage the weight sensor in the front, passenger seat, causing the SRS (airbag) light to illuminate. There is an electrical component in the seat cushion susceptible to fluid damage. Any spills should be dried up immediately in order to try and prevent damage to the sensor.
The engine may develop a stalling and/or no start condition due to a failed crankshaft position sensor.
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by driveshaft flex discs, which crack and shred, causing excessive driveshaft movement. Not repairing these can cause damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, or, in the worst case scenario, damage to the transmission or differential.
High mileage or older vehicles commonly develop leaks from the differential seals and/or cover. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit whenever these leaks are repaired.
It is not uncommon to encounter premature failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend flushing the brake fluid every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
Due to the size and material used on the brakes of these vehicles, the brakes may start to squeak around the 50 percent wear point. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge of the rotor. Because of this, the rotors are usually replaced when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
The release tab for the center console can fall off unexpectedly.
Lack of audio or cell phone functionality may be related to the failure of the audio gateway module.
A failed digital heater control valve can cause a lack of heat output from the climate control system.
Irregular and premature tire wear can be caused by the front thrust link bushings cracking and causing excessive movement in the suspension. The thrust link bushings are fluid-filled (to help reduce vibration), so if they crack, they will leak oil.
The early versions of the central gateway module (which allows different systems to communicate with each other) have software problems.
Rear air springs (bellows) may develop leaks, which causes the air pump to run more often to maintain ride height. Our technicians recommend that leaking air springs be replaced.

Thanks Lucy for your help.
I have my first class with my new student today, so we'll see how that goes. I know, the most important thing is to not show fear, that I must act like I know what I'm doing.
Well, I found out (not through any questioning of my own) that my unenthusiastic student prefers learning through music. His favorite genre is Hip Hop/Rap/R&B styles. Is there any kind of lessons that I could teach that might fall along this line?
Basically on his own time, he listens to that music, searches for the lyrics (in English) and then memorizes the words (I explained that this is where a Dictionary would come in handy)
What kinds of questions would fall in the "Needs Assessment / Needs Analysis" category?

ដកស្រងពីអត្ថបទ "Urbanization and Cardiovascular Disease - CVD"
At the World Heart Federation, we are proud to announce the publication of our new report Urbanization and Cardiovascular Disease: Raising Heart-Healthy Children in Today's Cities.
The World Heart Federation is delighted to share with you our new report that shows how urban life impacts heart-healthy behaviour.
With this publication we recognize the challenges and constraints faced by city dwellers in making heart healthy choices, particularly children. We also dispel the myth that cardiovascular (CVD) can be prevented through "simple" behaviour changes. To address the worldwide burden posed by CVD and to ensure sustainable development in our cities, the report calls for urgent action by all stakeholders to address the negative socio-economic implications of urbanization in order to protect our children's heart health. The world's cities are pivotal places where positive change is occurring and can continue to happen. We present several case studies showing that informed action by governments and key stakeholders who take a whole-of-society approach, can dramatically reduce the level of CVD risk.
To support policymakers, city planners, and other stakeholders concerned with making cities more heart healthy, the World Heart Federation has devised the S.P.A.C.E strategy, which incorporates five critical elements:
- Stakeholder collaboration
- Planning cities
- Access to healthcare
- Child-focused dialogue
- Evaluation

Discussion in 'March 2008' started by Dlev59, Mar 14, 2008.
That was quick.
This is one deep team. We won without Theo, Amir or Afflalo. Hayes showed why Joe picked him up. He has his place. We keep coming at them in waves as I wrote on the SA game. Sooner or later the other team buckles. The depth is impressive. Hunter is not suited up. We (purposely?) kept Theo under wraps for the national audience. Afflalo and Amir can provide help in certain situations. We are still under the radar from our key opposition. What we also saw was yet again, the starting unit's flaws early. I wrote about this for the SA game. We are very often getting down, especially to good teams. Amazingly, we still win. But this has to be adjusted. The starting unit is weak early with Dyss at center. Today it was Ely doing damage. Dyss adds nothing early offensively. His jumper is more suited as the game goes on. We need either of the young bigs for energy or at least Theo to shore up the defense. The coaching staff again showed its inability to act. That first unit got down 9-0. Ok. Don't panic. But as the bleeding continued, no substitutions. This is not a question of rotations but of coaching pure and simple. The coaches are afraid to pull players. Joe has given this staff the players. The coaches need to do their job.
Ely was doing most of his damage against Sheed, not Dyess. The coach called a timeout and the team came back and started running the offense correctly with passing and cutting. In just a few minutes, the deficit was erased. The coaches actually did their job.
It was pretty obvious that we got back in the game after the 11-0 start by making a concerted effort to get in the paint. Later in the game when they "wired" Saunders, you could here him say something like "we talked about their lack of shot blocking, now keep attacking the rim." That was actually a worthwhile soundbit from the man in charge. Of course after we stabilized things, then we started to punish them from the 3-point line. That is the way to do it. Make them fear us inside, then score from the perimeter opportunistically. Chris Paul's passing game was awesome, but consider this- the rest of the Hornets team had 3 assists tonight. Besides Chauncey, the other Pistons has 20 assists. It takes more than a great point guard to find the open man. Our bench was great today. Stuckey was very energetic. Hayes had the game of his life. And Maxiell was really impressive with the help D and rebounding. He easily had the best block of the year for our team. Overall, it was a fun game to watch as our passing and movement was beautiful.
Jarvis was fun to watch today. I wonder what the points-in-the paint comparision was? Bet we lost that. And I think Amir should have gotten some burn when it counted. I think AJ is being mishandled. Give the kid a lot of playing time, he plays well and then you cut it back? I don't understand it. I really don't.
We did lose that battle. But it wasn't by a ton.
Jayes "Willie Mayes" Hayes: "I'm so pretty"
Lambier, 9-0 wasn't Charlotte's biggest lead in the 1st. Don't remember exactly their widest margin--I think it was 13. I believe Maxiel was the first actual sub--not sure--probably at about the 4:30 minute mark He came in for Sheed. I remember a grimace on Dyss's face as someone shot over him--erased the tape so can't go back. Ely did damage at any rate. What bothers me is not just the specifics of this game but a trend. Sheed rightfully must save his fouls early as he is our best big down low defender in crunch time. So it is up to Dyss to roam and use fouls. But Dyss does not have good lateral movement. I believe our defense is poor at the start of a game-- at least not good enough to make up for our offensive slow starts early which seem to be happening a lot. One could argue the problem is (not the defense) but the offense and its lack (or seeming) lack of attack mode or purpose. Still, I would rather see Theo or a young big to start the game. I believe the defense would be better without hurting the offense or a net plus. Our depth is so good, we overcome these early leads but I worry about the playoffs. It won't be so easy.
Thats twice now Detroit has looked pretty awesome against New Orleans. Yes, Paul was playing injured, and West was out, but this was still a quality team we played. Look, they went up 11-0 on our starters to start the game. They can play, even as they were today. Maxiell, like so many times this season, came on and injected energy. In his first minute in, he made a jumper, then got a spectacular block. (which he repeated in the 2nd half but got a bogus foul called on him.) I believe it was Ely. He was up to dunk the ball. JMAX was still down on the ground. The ball was pretty much at the rim about to be slammed thru when JMAX explodes upwards like a rocket to swat the ball right out of the guy's hands. Tay played shooting guard to backup Rip in both halves. And this looked like a great idea since Hayes was totally on fire. 29 points with 7 made threes. That tied his career high I believe. Tay is the only guy who played heavy minutes in what ended up being a 21 point blowout for us. Since Rip only got like 30 minutes, he could have played a bit more while Tay played a bit less, and neither would have played too many minutes. In any case, Rip got some rest in this one. Billups also got some good rest. Stuckey is on quite the up-note of late. He hit an outside shot. He got to the bucket and scored. He nailed a couple of free throws. He personally got N.O. in foul trouble in the fourth quarter. Decent defense as always. Billups did not need to come back in for the 4th quarter. Amir got a few minutes of garbage time at the end of the game. Theo got a few minutes to end the 2nd quarter. Theo's highlight offensively was a move to the lane from the left where he finished with a high hook off glass. Not bad on D either. Billups quietly had a very good game, getting to the hoop some, hitting some shots from the outside. Rip did so so. His highlight was nailing a three for us. Sheed nailed a couple of threes himself. Tay did not do that great on offense, but the team did very well indeed with him at shooting guard, mostly paired with Stuckey, who was plus 24 for the game as I see someone mentioned. (and Hayes and JMAX were also plus 24 or so if I recall what I read.) Dixon only played garbage time. Still managed to fumble the ball in his short minutes. He did nail an outside shot right after Afflalo had done the same. I do not like seeing Afflalo not playing, but I am equally as relieved Dixon did not get into the rotation tonight. That we certainly do not need. Tay as backup shooting guard can work. (Though Hayes is not automatically the right guy to backup small forward just because of this one game. In effect, he backed up shooting guard and small forward since he was sub used to spell both Tay and Rip.) After starting down 0-11, we outscored them by 32 the rest of the way. Pretty much identical to the last time we played them. Flip said after the last game "Don't think the young kids are out of the rotation just because they did not play one game." Well, Afflalo and Amir have now been sat out two straight games, and Afflalo has played very little of late. Note, Dixon has still not replaced Afflalo. Afflalo has been taken out of the rotation, but Dixon hardly played the last two games. (and the last time he did play, the few minutes in the last game, was a disaster for us.) There is no reason not to end the Dixon experiment and simply start playing Afflalo again. Now watch Flip say we got to play Hunter to fill the void. Nope, Afflalo is still quite available, and still playing great whenever given minutes. Amir is still a very good player who needs to be part of our rotation. JMAX did well in this game tonight. Who knows just how good Amir could have done. It is not a competition between these two. There is room for both to play, and Dyess, and Theo, and Sheed.
I wasn't at all worried. I had the feeling that the Piston might be testing the water. Anyone has the feeling that if the Piston is playing on national tv they will get a win every time? Counting this game is the third time they blew the other team out of the water.
Positives; Stuckey; I would start a Stuckey appreciation thread if i wasn't so irritated by everything else Flip does. Kid has been solid. Very Billups like except he likes to drive. That play were he read the defense all the the way and caught the pass at the end was beautiful. Quickness helps defensively. He's been pretty clutch with that shot as well. But he does miss Amir Dixon didn't play in the real game (although ironically he did do his thing in GT, and by thing i mean turn the ball over and jack up stupid shots) Hayes had the game of his life which helped keep Tay/Rip's min at bay, and also made Flip look like he was smart. Max was great (got outmuscled a little or out-heighted i guess you could say); he was 1st off the bench instead of Theo Sheed was extremely good defensively. I like the trapping Paul everytime idea because for the most part it was done well. If they had West though it would be a different story and it didn't work with Dice b/c his lateral movement is just not there. Negatives; Hayes had the game of his life; extremely unreliable thing to count on in the future. He was getting burned by Peja; but they were letting him be physical. He fouled him a few times and it wasn't called. The whole game was allowed to be more physical which usally favors the Pistons. Afflalo; this is tempered like Lee said by joy that Dixon didn't play, but there's no readon for the kid to sit. I also think his offense is alot better than he gets credit for. That jumpshot is smooth, and for someone that works as hard as he does, improvement will be there. Johnson; I like Theo and it's hard ot hate on him since he a/ isn't bad, and b/ looks so damn happy to be playing/here, but like Lee said it isn't an and/or choice. Those minutes in the 2nd quarter should have been Amir's. In fact this was a perfect game to play Amir/Max together or stick with Sheed/Amir. Whichever. Julian Wright and Ely were really hurting us. NOH got some open looks from our trapping. Amir's ability to trap/recover is missed. I was actually really excited to see Amir vs. CLE; like abnormally excited for a regulars eason game. Where Varejeo bothers Max would height. Amir would excel. But it looks like it's going to be 3 straught DNP's I like Dyess, but it's really time for him to maybe come off the bench. The starting lineup need to be injected with an energy player. We have such a deep bench. Use it Flip.
In Chauncey's interview at the end he was like "yea they went up 11-0 and then we woke up and (naturally) got back into the game" WTF?! LOL Even if it's true, don't say that LOL
Q-LIGHTS: U guys are so selfish! Not one mention of Mateen Cleaves getting 18 pts, 7 asists and 2 steals vs utah last night?...Well, I never! ANYWAY, after watching the game through the mind of Hubie Brown(which is like watcching BEING JOHN MALCOVIC), I think I have these observations... 1. I HATE Stuart Scott with the redhot intensity of a million burning suns!! Whats a guy got to do to get Big john back in the studio? Damn, senoirity. Get your fat Canadian Bacon behind back in there, Saunders! Barry and Wilbon is a good combo, But Anthony and Leggs are better. Dont get why the 'a' team doesnt do the national games... 2. Tirico and Hubie are a good team. Not the best. ...1. Albert and Fratello easy. But Hubie is like your wierd uncle from the Woodstock days. Tirico is such a homer taht he knew what "BDL" meant and was the first guy to explain it to a national audience. 3. The 11-0 run by Hornets was so humhum to me. It was like when The Lakers in 2004 Finals had Radmonovic(sic)Nesterovic? Fliponavivic? whoever! score 8 pts in the first replacing Malone. Did u really think? 4. Max just commits aggrivated assault against tyson. it was so funny because even at full speed it looks like Chandler fell to the floor in slow motion!"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....splat!" I think I heard him say "I regret nuuuthiiiiiiinnnngggg......" 5. JAAAAAhhvis ate his Georgia whaeties today. His J is so pretty when its on and I think it is about confidence and getting his legs set. He's 6'8" so its pretty hard to uard the J when he's paired with Tay. But its like I said for 3 years...If he anybody should come off the bench, its Prince. He'd be the havlicek of his time. nice win...not thrilling, but nice Denver game should be our scrimmage for Cleveland. Dont care if Nuggs hit 169 on us! Get rested, Fellas... We MUST send Cavs a meassagE!! .......what? it wasnt the Utah Jazz? Oh, Cleaves is in Bakersfield...ooops
I think Jarvis rattled every shot in except for 1 three that was all net. I've never really seen a shooter who was that hot, but was hitting rim. And it wasn't just back of the rim.
It`s called a shooters touch!!! Not everyone has it, very few I might add...........
It is also unusual to see that with the arc he puts on his shot. I think he was 9 for 11 with an airball and 8 rim rattlers. Works for me.
just watched the game...it was pretty awesome. i mentioned earlier in the year that hayes might backup rip, and we saw that sometimes it can be pretty useful. if the starters can get jarvis open shots with his feet set, he should shoot a much higher percentage. i'm encouraged that we keep bringing it on national games, and maxiell seems to thrive in them as well. his legs sure don't seem tired now, do they? if he's getting back to form, look out. stuckey continues to play great - controlled, good vision, good decisions, and won't back down from anyone.
Can't complain a lot, we blew the hornets out. But few points to mention: Stuckey attacks the rim, but sometimes he is lost on the way. Other times he misses very easy lay ups, like the one that Maxiell brought back with a dunk.Prince still got lot of minutes. I know he is young, but we need him fresh in the playoffs. I think he is the most important key factor in the playoff games. We shot many many many 3's, this could win us one game, but it can't win a series. This is one game I will say the players won and not Flip. Don't get me wrong, I am happy with the "W". Go Pistons

75 Phoenix Student-Athletes Named to League Honor Roll
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - A total of 75 UW-Green Bay student-athletes were honored as members of the Horizon League's Spring 2012 Academic Honor Roll, the conference office announced on Monday.
Candidates for the Horizon League Honor Roll must meet three criteria in order to qualify: 1) participation in at least one of the League's 19 sports during the most recent (or current) season; 2) completion of three semesters (or four quarters, where applicable) as a full-time student at the same member institution; and 3) a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.20 (on a 4.00 scale).
A total of 743 student-athletes from all Horizon League institutions and all 19 league sports were included on the list. Green Bay, which participates in 14 of the 19 sports, had the fifth-highest total in the league behind Butler's 98, Valparaiso's 90, Milwaukee's 81 and Youngstown State's 77.
Women's swimming and diving led the way for Green Bay with 10 honorees, while volleyball placed nine on the honor roll. Soccer and swimming and diving were the top men's squads, with each team placing five on the list, respectively.
The spring of 2012 was arguably the most successful academic semester in school history, as Phoenix student-athletes posted a record-high 3.27 cumulative GPA, marking the department's 25th-straight semester with at least a 3.0.

As we all know by now, wireless networks offer many advantages over fixed (or wired) networks. Foremost on that list is mobility, since going wireless frees you from the tether of an Ethernet cable at a desk. But that's just the tip of the cable-free iceberg. Wireless networks are also more flexible, faster and easier for you to use, and more affordable to deploy and maintain.The de facto standard for wireless networking is the 802.11 protocol, which includes Wi-Fi (the wireless standard known as 802.11b) and its faster cousin, 802.11g. With easy-to-install 802.11 network hardware available everywhere you turn, the choice seems simple, and many people dive into wireless computing with less thought and planning than they'd give to a wired network. But it's wise to be familiar with both the capabilities and risks associated with the 802.11 protocols. And 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is the perfect place to start.This updated edition covers everything you'll ever need to know about wireless technology. Designed with the system administrator or serious home user in mind, it's a no-nonsense guide for setting up 802.11 on Windows and Linux. Among the wide range of topics covered are discussions on:
Matthew Gast works in the Office of the CTO at Trapeze Networks, where he leads the development of open wireless network standards and their application to the Trapeze architecture. He is a member of the IEEE 802.11 working group, and serves as chair of 802.11 Task Group M. As chair of the Wi-Fi Alliance's Wireless Network Management marketing task group, he is leading the investigation of certification requirements for power saving, performance optimization, and location and timing services. Matthew also chairs the Security Technical task group, which is extending Wi-Fi protected Access (WPA) certification to incorporate newly-developed security mechanisms so that it remains the strongest form of protection available for Wi-Fi networking. In 2007, Matthew was a founder of the OpenSEA Alliance, a group organized to support the development of open-source network security solutions. He currently serves on the engineering steering committee, the organization's board of directors, and as its corporate secretary. Matthew's most recent book, 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide (O'Reilly Media), now in its second edition, is the top selling reference work in the field and has been translated into six languages.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition, is a horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus hipposideros). This rare and globally endangered species is the smallest of the European horseshoe bats; they typically weigh only 4 to 10 grams and have a wingspan of 19 to 25 centimeters. Horseshoe bats get their name from the horseshoe-shaped, leaflike plate of skin around their noses. This nose-leaf helps modify and direct the ultrasonic sounds they emit through their nostrils (a method of sensory perception known as echolocation) to orient themselves to their surroundings, detect obstacles, communicate with each other, and find food. Bats' echolocation systems are so accurate that they can detect insects the size of gnats and objects as fine as a human hair.Lesser horseshoe bats are found in a variety of habitats, ranging from the British Isles to the Arabian Peninsula and Central Asia, and from Morocco to Sudan. The lesser horseshoe bat was originally a cave-roosting bat, but many summer maternity colonies now occupy the roofs of old rural houses and farm buildings. These bats also sometimes roost in hedgerows and hollow trees. Maternity colonies of 30 to 70 are normal, but roosting mothers have been known to form colonies of as many as 200 bats. Lesser horseshoe bats hibernate, sometimes in large groups, from October until late April or early May. Their winter roosts are usually underground, in caves or tunnels. They hang by their feet with their wings wrapped around their bodies, often in open and exposed positions but rarely in large clusters. Colleen Gorman was the production editor and the proofreader for 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition. Emily Quill and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Abigail Fox provided production assistance. Johnna VanHoose Dinse wrote the index.Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Karen Montgomery produced the cover layout with Adobe InDesign CS using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.David Futato designed the interior layout. This book was converted by Judy Hoer to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano, Jessamyn Read, and Lesley Borash using Macromedia FreeHand MX and Adobe Photoshop CS.

About Me Sys Admin
I do volunteer tech support for my church. The building wireless was intermittently not allowing people on - different people at different times. Using this book as a foundation, I installed Kila Linux on a wireless laptop and used aircrack-ng with wireshark to track down a DHCP problem. The network engineers at church headquarters fixed a Cisco configuration error, and everything now works. Without this book I would still be clueless and in the dark.

Fantastic Reference
By M Cain
from Olathe, KS
Gast goes into great detail explaining the inner workings of 802.11 communication and security protocols as well as an essential introduction of RF physics. This reference should be on the shelf of every Wi-Fi administrator's library.
Wow. Definitive.
By jdruin
from Undisclosed
This was a very detailed review of the 802.11 protocol itself plus its application to wireless networking. The author explores each detail of 802.11 down to the protocol definitions and syntax of each type of packet. From here a survay of the types of networks that can be set up are covered as well as the various pieces of wireless networks including access points and end points. The level of detail could be viewed as overwhelming if you are only trying to set up a home router, but it will be much appreciated for those who need a closer look at 802.11 for experimental, scholarly or professional use.

Microsoft Defends Windows RT, Says It Will Get Better with Time

Sender E-mail
Microsoft's Michael Angiulo
(Source: Business Insider)
Windows RT may already be turning to vinegar
Microsoft continues to defend its sagging Windows RT operating system. So far one of the only products that run the operating system is Microsoft's own Surface RT tablet, which has seen very low sales. Earlier this month, sales of the Microsoft Surface family of tablets
missed targets
and analysts reduced their sales forecasts.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer continues to insist that Surface is a "
real business
", but sales figures suggest otherwise. Major Microsoft partner Samsung has
that it won't be releasing a Windows RT tablet in the United States because of poor demand. Samsung has left the door open to introduce a RT device later if the market demands it. So far, that demand seems unlikely.
recently had an interview with Microsoft corporate vice president for Windows planning Michael Angiulo. During the talk the Microsoft executive spent some time focusing on what makes Windows RT important for Microsoft.
Angiulo stated, "It was a ton of work for us and we didn't do the work and endure the disruption for any reason other than the fact that there's a strategy there that just gets stronger over time. Looking at things now like power performance and standby time and passive [fanless] form factors. When we launched windows 8, it was really competitive with a full-sized iPad. A lot of that was made possible by the ARM [chip] architecture."
In addition, Angiulo talked a bit about complaints of legacy software not working on Windows RT. He said, "People are talking about legacy desktop software not running, but they don't think about the customer benefit of only running modern apps. The only apps that you install from the Windows store are the kind, that as a customer, you can manage your rights to."
Angiulo also believes that ARM-powered tablets will have a higher percentage shipping that feature mobile broadband because the devices have longer battery life the comparable Intel platform devices. Battery life is a big selling factor for ARM-powered devices, and increased power consumption continues to be a downside to Intel hardware in the tablet and mobile market.
"A lot of people pay zero for the cellphone ... That's what it's worth." -- Apple Chief Operating Officer Timothy Cook
