Cal from MN asks:
I just upgradeable to Windows 7, and now I'm hearing about Windows 8? Already?! What's so special?
It seems like you just blink your eyes, and you find out that Microsoft is working on a new operating system. Windows 8 is Microsoft's next version in its Microsoft Windows family, and I'm excited to share it with you today! It has been in the works for a while now, and Microsoft is slowly revealing some of its brand new features. Let's check it out!
The most extensive new improvement to Windows 8 is the new Start screen, which uses Microsoft's new Metro UI.
It features large tiles which allow you access to your favorite applications such as weather, stocks, photos, and the Internet. The full screen size and large buttons are optimized for touch screen computers such as tablets, but will also work well with a mouse and keyboard. The touch Start screen utilizes gestures such as swiping, and pinching to perform actions. The Start screen will open when you first boot up Windows, or when you press the "Windows" button on your keyboard.
If you'd like to see your regular desktop, you can select the Desktop tile or choose a traditional desktop-based program such as Word or Paint.
Microsoft has also chosen to adopt it's Ribbon menu (from Microsoft Office) in other major Windows applications, most notably, Explorer. As you can see, you now have access to many more features without navigating through long menus. All of the Ribbon features will also have corresponding keyboard shortcuts.
Beta versions of Windows 8 also indicate a new PDF reader called "Modern Reader" and an updated task manager named "Modern Task Manager".
Another new feature native to Windows 8 is an App Store which will allow you to download new programs without having to visit a website. That sounds pretty neat, huh?
Finally, Microsoft has stated that the hardware requirements for Windows 8 will be the same as or lower than those of Windows 7. So if you are running Windows 7 right now, I'm sure upgrading will be quite easy.
Windows 8 is poised to be released on desktops, laptops, netbooks, tablets, servers, and media center PCs, but Microsoft hasn't made an exact release date known.
That's all the news I have for you now, but stay tuned for more updates on Windows 8!

he also chats about the end of his career. interesting stuff.But because he got by mostly on his wrestling skills, Severn said, he didn't take as much head trauma as some of his peers. That fascination with knockouts that exists in the sport today is one of the things he can't quite understand. The way fans seem to only want to see two people bash one another's heads in? The way fighters would rather curl up and get thumped on than tap out to strikes when they've clearly quit fighting back?
"It's almost like they're saving face," Severn said. "Like, hey, they didn't tap out. The referee stopped the match. What they don't realize, maybe because of their youth, is that every time you get hit, you lose something."

|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|Amitriptyline and Topiramate in the Prevention of Childhood Migraine
- Reduction in Headache Frequency, defined as ≥ 50% reduction in headache days. [ Time Frame: 4 week baseline period and last 4 weeks of the 24-week trial ]Determine if amitriptyline and/or topiramate are superior to placebo in a percentage of subjects with a 50% or greater reduction in headache days (defined as the number of days with headache for a given 4 week period) in children and adolescents. Conduct a comparative effectiveness study of the two therapies with respect to reducing headache frequency (defined as the number of days with headache for a given 4 week period).
- There are four secondary outcomes. Secondary Outcome #1: Reduction in absolute headache disability score on PedMIDAS. [ Time Frame: 4 week baseline period and last 4 weeks of the 24-week trial ]
This outcome compares absolute headache disability score (measured by PedMIDAS) for:
- Amitriptyline vs. Placebo
- Topiramate vs. Placebo
- Amitriptyline vs. Topiramate
- Secondary Outcome #2: Reduction in number of headache days. [ Time Frame: 4 week baseline period and last 4 weeks of the 24-week trial ]
Compare absolute headache days per 28 day period, measured by the change in absolute headache days for:
- Amitriptyline vs. placebo
- Topiramate vs. placebo
- Amitriptyline vs. Topiramate
- Secondary Outcome #3: Tolerability of amitriptyline and topiramate. [ Time Frame: 4 week baseline period and last 4 weeks of the 24-week trial ]
Determine if amitriptyline and/or topiramate are well tolerated.
Tolerability will be defined as the percentage of randomized patients that completed the 24-week treatment phase. All three study groups will be compared.
- Secondary Outcome #4: Occurrence of treatment-emergent serious adverse events. [ Time Frame: 4 week baseline period to last 4 weeks of the 24-week trial ]To determine if amitriptyline or topiramate differ from placebo on the occurrence of treatment-emergent serious adverse events.
- Safety evaluation is an additional component of the trial that will be assessed. [ Time Frame: 4 week baseline period to last 4 weeks of the 24-week trial ]Safety will be measured by the quantitative review of adverse events for all three arms of the study in comparison with placebo and the adverse events profiles reported in the package inserts for the study drugs.

Blogging 101
*good morning miss Gentri*
haha! Juuuuuuuuust kiiiidiiiiiiing.
Today I wanted to share some tips that I've picked up along my blogging journey. I'm sure you've heard most of them before, but that should just make you realize the importance (or annoyance) of it. Haha!
Tip #5: Word Verification
It. Is. Driving. Us. All. Crazy!
haha! Seriously though, you're going to get spammy comments with or without it. If you feel the need to moderate your comments, PLEASE just change them to "Approval Only". I have had mine set that way for probably 9 months now, it is great! PLUS Blogger recently changed Word Verifications, now they're so incredibly hard to decipher. I beg you! Please change it!
It's a simple process:
Step 1: Log into Blogger
Step 2: Click on "Settings"
Step 3: Click on "Comments"
Step 4: Scroll down to "Show Word Verification"
Step 5: Change "Yes" to "No"
Step 6 *optional*: Right above that section is a section called "Comment Moderation". If you wish to approve your comments before they are published, select "Always".
*NOTE* I guess you can only change this in the old blogger interface. You can easily switch back and forth between the new and old interface if you just want to quickly change this.
The blogging world will love you.
Tip #4: Sponsor Rotation
If you have sponsors you probably have some kind of rotation routine so everyone gets a chance near the top, right? Well, I'm here to make this REEEEEAAAL easy for you! What if- You didn't have to worry about that, the ads rotated themselves EVERY time the page was refreshed, not only that- but they rotated according to their Ad SIZE, and your sponsors were all happyhappyhappy?? That sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it's not! :D Here's how you can do this:
*I learned this from THIS tutorial. It's amazing and I've never looked back*
Step 1: Log into blogger and go to "Design"
Step 2: Click "Add a Gadget" and select "HTML/Java Script" (move it to the side while you get the code you're going to use)
Step 3: Go to THIS site and scroll down to where it says "Directions" then select and copy ALL of the code that is in the "Step 1" box
Step 4: Paste that code you just copied into your new "HTML/Java Script" gadget
Step 5: Go back to THIS site, scroll down (below the step 1 and 2 boxes) until you see 3 grey boxes. Select and copy ALL of the code in the 1st grey box
Step 6: Paste the code you just copied AT the BOTTOM of your other code
Step 7: Make sure all of your sponsor buttons are coded
*I think this is where people get lost, so pay attention. I'll keep it as simple and clear as possible*
Step 8: Look at the code you just pasted in your "HTML/ Java Script". The part that says "randomordercontent group1" tells the code which Ad Size the ad is in. So if you have 3 sizes (say small, medium, and large) your "group 1" would be Large, "group 2" would be Medium, and "group 3" would be Small. To make a new group just change the "1" to a "2" or "3" or whatever it is!
Where the code says "//Some content here" you actually delete this and paste in the code of your sponsor. So if I was one of your Large sponsors, it would look like this:
ALL I did there was paste my button's code where it said "//Some content here". That's it!
Step 9: Just paste the code from the first grey box, for as many sponsors as you have. If you have 5 Large Sponsors you'll want 5 "group 1"'s, if you have 6 Medium Sponsors you'll want 6 "group 2"'s, if you have 4 Small Sponsors you'll want 4 "group 3"'s. Make sense?? Remember, you make a new group just by changing that number.
Step 10: Once all of the code is added go back to THIS site and grab ALL of the code from the LAST grey box.
Step 11: Paste that code BELOW ALL of the other code in your "HTML/Java Script" gadget.
Step 12: Click "Save" then view your blog. If everything was done correctly, then it should look perfect (like my sponsors do on the right. haha!) and if you refresh the page, they should all trade places according to their ad size.
*NOTE* when a new month comes and it's time to change sponsors, I don't start completely over. I just replace the old sponsor ad code with the new one.
Well, I'm falling asleep here (since I'm writing this Saturday night), so I'm going to share the rest of my blogging tips later today. :) happy Sunday!
P.S. If you have any questions- please just ask!

I love this post! My buttons rotate using that tutorial, but I've never tried with more than one size... maybe I'll try it today! Thanks Gentri!

I am SO with you on word verification! I hate it. Problem is that you can only turn it off if you are still using the old blogger version (at least it was that way 2 months ago)...and I don't think most bloggers know that? I use the new version and I was looking *everywhere* to turn off the word verification, but couldn't find it. So I thought that is was turned off. But then I got the tip to switch to the old blogger to check and turn it off...
Maybe add that to your post?

I really hate word verification--and if I am feeling really lazy and tired it puts me off commenting, which is such a shame--but I am not a robot and really bad at reading those words.
And I really need to create my own button for my blog--should really learn how to do that.

My post for tomorrow was complaining about word verification - good thing I was notified just before posting it that MY wv was on! I think maybe when the new interface changed it put everyone back on that? I know for SURE I had it off when I first started!

Thanks for the sponsor-roll tip! I had no idea you could do that.
I go back and forth about the word verification thing. I think I'm going to take your advice and go awhile without it. The amount of spam was driving me crazy but it really doesn't matter so much. Thanks for this.

Oh my gosh, I cannot even begin to lash out on how lame word verification is. It makes me want to scream every time it pops up and it won't take my entry! The worst is when you do audio captcha and it slurs all the words together like a drunk lady. No, I am not a robot, you jerk.
And what the crap kind of word is captcha? Blahhhh!

I did try this tutorial for the rotating sponsor/buttons but I found that every rotation one of the sponsor ads would disappear. I am not sure what that was all about so I removed it. I might give it another try as the way you explained seems a lot clearer.
These are all great blogging tips.

Thank you so much for these tips! Especially that you have to go back to the old interface to change the word verification. I hadn't even noticed you could switch back to the old one. Thanks so much Gentri!

I know I am late to this post, but I have been meaning to comment for some time and just didn't get the chance!!!! Thank you so much for sharing the ad rotation information. I think this is a wonderful idea, and I am definitely going to do it on my blog, if I could just get it to work correctly!!! I am terrible at html! Thanks again...such good advice!!!

PHOTOS: Justin Bieber Parties With Kardashians In Spain
Listen to Justin Bieber Radio on iHeartRadio
Justin Bieber's Spanish vacation isn't getting spoiled by his run-in with actor Orlando Bloom. The pop star enjoyed another weekend on the island of Ibiza, this time partying with the Kardashian family.
On Friday, the Biebs was a guest at the birthday celebration of fashion designer Riccardo Tisci, where he snapped photos with Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Kris Jenner and her daughter Kendall.
One shot even shows him getting cozy with the 18-year-old Jenner sister, who used to be a friend of his ex Selena Gomez.
Justin also posted a video of Kanye performing at the event, which was attended by other famous names like Diddy, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Jared Leto.

At first you should have a good feeling about the company doing that business. Ask for references, where they did pentests before, if and which securityflaws they have found.
Well if you are looking for a webapp pentester he should have experience in webbapp pentesting. There are so many certs out there, well I can't say just go by certs. There are a couple of certs just about the theory and/or management aspects not saying anything about their hands on knowledge. OSCP and OSCE are two certs where you can be sure that the person has at least some hands on experience and thinks outside the box (that is required in order to solve the exam challenge, especially for OSCE).
Well what is the difference for you between a pentest and vuln scan?
About the reports, that depends on the pentester/company you are hiring.
What do you expect yourself?
I'd say a detailed overview of the vulnerabilities, the consequences they have (i.e. data extraction possible) and ways to solve the issue for your IT department (if you have one).
That is what is coming directly to my mind. Might have some more ideas later on.

Braces, or orthoses, are used to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in children with moderate scoliosis curves ranging from 25-45 degrees who are growing rapidly during their adolescent years. The goal of the brace is to keep the child's spinal curve from progressing during this time of growth and ultimately, to avoid the need for surgery.
The brace is designed to fit the child's specific body shape and curve type and, while wearing it, is meant to return the spine to as normal alignment as possible without interfering with the child's daily routine.
Because scoliosis braces are usually worn in the child's adolescent or early teenage years, adjustments are typically made every three to four months as the child grows. The brace typically needs to be replaced at least once per year, and it should be worn until the child is considered skeletally mature or the spine is no longer growing significantly. At this point, the primary risk for further curve progression has passed.
There are several types of braces used to treat scoliosis. The most common is the thoraco-lumbo-sacral orthosis (TLSO). TLSOs are made from special plastics and customized by an orthotist to fit the child perfectly. The TLSO's close fit makes it reasonably comfortable and easy
to wear under clothes. Most are designed to cover the child's torso from below the breast line to
just above the pelvis in the front and from below the shoulder blades to just above the buttocks in
the back.
The majority of scoliosis curves are best treated when the child wears the brace throughout most of the day and at night. Smaller, single curves in the lower part of the spine, unlike the more common S-shaped curves, can be treated with a brace designed for night-wear only. The more common night braces are the Charleston brace and the Providence brace, which conform to the child's body while lying down to bend the spine in the opposite direction of the scoliosis curve.

I was touring a new commercial building a few months ago and was listening to the guide talk about the new features. She then described—or tried to describe—how the concrete contributed to the building's sustainability. The tour guide talked about how the concrete had a certain industrial waste product in it, but she couldn't think of what it was and of the details.
I stayed mum because I wanted to see if she would come up with the particulars on her own. She couldn't, so I finally asked, "Do you mean fly ash?"
"Yes, that's it," she said in relief. But she followed this with more silence, so I added that fly ash is a byproduct of coal-powered electric power plants which replaces some of the cement in the concrete. I had done my good deed for the day. Not only did I help the guide with her tour, but I got a plug in for the concrete industry and I promoted sustainability.
I've been thinking about that morning as I've pondered the results of a question we asked on our website recently: "How do you view the current state of the sustainability movement in the construction/concrete industry?" The results surprised me: 57% said it was "losing momentum," 24% said it was "gaining momentum," and 19% said it had "hit a plateau."
This also surprises Lionel Lemay, senior vice president, sustainable development, at NRMCA. "From where I sit, it's almost steamrolling out of control," he told me. Lemay rattled off some of the sustainability initiatives: the International Green Construction Code, LEED 2012, Architecture 2030, Greenroads, and every state has its own green highways initiative. Undoubtedly, there are others. "It's almost overwhelming to the point where you can't keep up," he adds.
Possible explanations
I believe there are two reasons why some feel sustainability has "lost momentum."
Producers act as environmental stewards more than they might realize. Fly ash is routinely used as a cement substitute, and producers manage their washout water on every load. "It has become everyday business." says Lemay. "It's just something that they do, so it's no longer something unusual. The movement is no longer a movement."
Brian Lutey, vice president, green building, at Chicago-based Ozinga Ready Mix Concrete Inc., agrees. "Just about everything we do at a concrete plant is sustainable," he says. "Most of us are zero-waste. We have to do a better job of educating ourselves that what we do is green and then getting the word out to others and getting credit for it."
David Shepherd, director of sustainable development at the Portland Cement Association, notes that 71% of readers responding to another questionon our website said their company uses GPS to assist in deliveries. "Those kinds of things impact fuel efficiency," he says. "This knocks off part of the carbon footprint with every truck that goes out."
Finally, a producer can practice sustainability, but it's all for naught if he closes his doors. "In more rural markets, they may be going away from it because they're trying to survive," Lutey says.

Date of Release: Sunday, July 9, 2006
On Saturday July 8, 2006 from 10am until 2pm, the Portsmouth Police Department joined forces with Officers from the Rye Police and the NH Highway Patrol in an effort to help curb excessive motorcycle noise throughout the seacoast area. This initiative was part of a larger seacoast law enforcement action that included similar enforcement at the same time by the Hampton NH Police and Seabrook NH Police (please contact those agencies as we do not have their results).
Portsmouth, Rye and Highway Patrol Officers focused enforcement actions within the greater downtown area of Portsmouth and Route 1A in Rye.
Officer were specifically educating the public and enforcing traffic laws such as
RSA 266:59a (Motorcycle noise levels-no more than 106 decibels)
RSA 265:122 Protective Headgear (no person less than 18 years old may be on MC without helmet)
RSA 265:123 Eye and Face Protection (must have windscreen or eye protection of driver)
RSA 266:77 Handlebars (no "apehanger" handlebars or handlebars higher than the shoulder of driver)
RSA 266:1 Inspection (all MC must be inspected by July 1st of each year).
In addition to these State Laws, various other city ordinances were also referenced including:
Misuse of Power, Misuse of braking power, rapid acceleration/deceleration and racing of engines.
As a result of these directed enforcement patrols in the Portsmouth/Rye area, 28 motorcycles were stopped with 4 drivers issued summonses for having loud exhaust/motorcycle noise levels more than 106 decibles. The remainders of the infractions were less severe and were given warnings with instructions to have the violation(s) fixed within 14 days.
The Portsmouth Police Department will continue to conduct these initiatives throughout the summer and will continue with our exhaustive educational initiative advising motorcycle operators/owners of these requirements.

Hopefully by now you are familiar with the amazing concept of the breakfast burrito.
Fluffy scrambled eggs, cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, maybe a little cheeky chorizo up in there – all wrapped up in a big burrito. Did I mention you get to eat this for breakfast?
In the spirit of this great dish, along with a commitment to a healthy start to the new year – I made my own Mexican-themed breakfast*.
A corn and black bean hash: herb-flecked, spice-laced and veggie-packed with a little crunch for good measure, topped with a perfectly poached egg. This is in no way a replacement for the glorious brekkie burrito, but as a lady I like to have options. Mexican breakfast options.
*Not limited to breakfast time. Breakfast for dinner is a popular option in my kitchen. As is breakfast for lunch. Go nuts!
Mexican Black Bean and Corn Hash
Makes 4 servings
– 1 15.5 oz/440 gram can of black beans, rinsed
– 2 ears of corn, husks removed
– 1 small red onion, diced
– 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
– 1 small jalapeno, finely chopped
– 1 big handful of baby spinach
– 3/4 cup leftover roasted pumpkin or butternut squash, diced
– 1/2 teaspoon smokey paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon cumin
– 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– Olive oil
– Salt & Pepper
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
For corn: In a large pot bring water, a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of sugar to a boil. Add corn and boil covered for about 5 minutes. Remove corn and let cool. Once cooled, cut the kernels off the cob with a large, sharp chef's knife. I did this in a large bowl, while holding the ears of corn upright (this helps prevent corn kernels from flying all over the place.) Set kernels aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add onions and cook for about 2 minutes before adding the garlic and jalapenos. Cook an additional 2 minutes.
Add black beans, paprika, cumin and cayenne pepper to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add a tablespoon or two of water if at any point the pan looks dry.
Stir in spinach until wilted. Add pumpkin, corn, salt and pepper (to taste) and stir well to combine.
Remove from heat and top with fresh cilantro.
Serve with an egg cooked in the style of your choosing. My favorite is poached. For advice on how to cook the perfect poached egg, see Elise at Simply Recipes – she'll hook you up.

Democratic Financier Cynthia Stroum Flames Out After Brief Stint as Barack Obama's Ambassador to Luxembourg
February 4, 2011 | A new report from the Office of the Inspector General at the U.S. Department of State slams the tenure of U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg Cynthia Stroum, one of the top fund-raisers for President Barack Obama and a prolific Democratic donor. Obama appointed her to the post in 2009.
Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is On
October 16, 2009 | An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
CRP's Suggested Rosters for Tonight's White House B-Ball Game
October 8, 2009 | If President Barack Obama is looking for tips on how to divide up the teams in tonight's White House basketball game, we've got a suggestion. Forget who can make the most slam dunks or free-throws. How about the most successful fundraisers in the first half of the year versus the, er, least successful? If the president takes that route, this is what tonight's lineup would look like.
Committee Members Speak Out–Or Stay Mum–On Health Care
July 9, 2009 | Over the past three weeks, Capital Eye has contacted members of five Capitol Hill committees responsible for drafting health care reform legislation this summer. Here are their responses (and non-responses) and the money they're collecting from various industries.
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees
February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
Update: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers
September 11, 2008 | When the federal government announced two months ago that it would be seizing mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CRP looked at how much money members of Congress had collected since 1989 from the companies. On Sunday the government proceeded with the takeover and we've returned to our data to bring you the updates, this time providing a list of all 354 lawmakers who have gotten money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (in July we posted the top 25).
Pale Green
April 18, 2008 | When environmentalists, lobbyists and eco-friendly citizens come a-knockin' on lawmakers' office doors on Earth Day next week, Democrats (and some Republicans) will detail their legislation that directs taxes collected from the oil and gas industry towards renewable energy initiatives. What they probably won't mention is that lawmakers themselves aren't taking a risk on them with their own money.

Blend: 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot
In 1913, the Folonari family purchased Ruffino and brought new talent, energy and enthusiasm into the company. They started on a nearly century-long pursuit to develop a collection of estates in Tuscany, all of which matched the standard of quality and uniqueness which was the trademark of Ruffino wine.
Over the last sixty years, Ruffino has established seven prominent estates in Tuscany, all situated within the major DOCG production regions including Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Chianti and Chianti Classico. Today, Ruffino continues to meld century-long Tuscan traditions with new state-of-the-art cellar technology and modern winemaking for an ideal symbiosis with the energy of the contemporary Italian lifestyle.

I find 30,000 a ridiculous amount of money to have saved before moving. Unless you have inheritance or are wealthy and just have that amount lying around. I highly doubt most people had that amount before moving, because the people who are saving that are probably still back at home, trying to save.
I am moving to LA this coming January. What can I do now to help me out in the future? Do a few skype sessions? Read books?
|Denzel Washington
I don't think what Miss Stone came up with is a ridiculous amount. She documented the expenses very well. The thing is that she wrote it back when we were near the bottom of the recession and it was harder to get a survival job.
She also wrote it from the perspective of coming to town without much training and without serious connections. I remember when she used to post a lot and it seems like that had been her starting place. You can cut out a good bit of that if you are already a trained actor that only needs a few classes to get acclimated to the LA way, are already well connected, and have most of your other ducks in a row.
The food expense seems inflated and you could get by for less in rent if you can stand living on top of three or more people in the same apartment, but the rest looks about right other than that and the union info being out of date. It is easier to get eligible now through the New Media Agreement, but there is still a $3,000 initiation fee at the end of that rainbow.
It is a step to simply be here, but it won't do you much good if you are too tied up with just trying to keep a roof over your head to do the other things it takes to be competitive in the market. This business is tough enough as it is without having to start off deep in the red.

Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM: an oldie but goodieTuesday February 28 2012
After looking at the Nikon AF-D series, DxOMark continues working its way through the history of photography by presenting the measurements for another "antique" lens, the Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM.
(As ever, you can see the results for most available Canon cameras, such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark II or the even older Canon EOS 350D, by selecting it on the lens page.)
This lens is one of the oldest measured in our DxOMark database. Announced in 1993, the EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM represented a genuinely novel approach for Canon at the time — to offer a quality-built wide-angle zoom at a reasonable price.
The metal housing is indeed well-crafted, but unfortunately this lens has only 5 diaphragm blades, which can have an impact on the bokeh. (FYI, in general even today's "entry-level" lenses use a 7-blade diaphagm.) Nor was aperture a priority back in the day: the maximum f-numbers for this lens are 3.5 for 20mm and 4.5 for 35mm — quite limited compared to recent lens offerings.
But instead of glorifying youth, let's look more closely at the image quality measurement results for this older-generation lens….
Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM mounted on a Canon 5D Mark II
A DxOMark score of 16 is perfectly respectable for a nearly 20-year-old lens. Note that the bar graphs indicate a high degree of uniformity for this lens, and in fact the quality achieved at 20mm is the same for the other focal lengths.
|Strong points
|Weak points
|Good sharpness
|Not a bright lens
|Light-weight lens
|Very significant vignetting
|Good quality-to-price ratio
Respectable standalone scores, then, but now for the crucial question: how well does the Canon perform when compared to a similar but younger lens? Let's take a look:
Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM vs Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4 EX DG Aspherical HSM Canon mounted on a Canon 5D Mark II
Even with a 10-year gap, there is only 6 points' difference in DxOMark scores between the two lenses. Not bad for an old-timer!
The advantages of the Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM:
- Its resolution.
- Its quality-to-price ratio.
The advantages of the Sigma 17-35mm F2.8-4 EX DG Aspherical HSM:
- Brighter by about ½ EV.
- Better correction of chromatic aberrations.
- Better correction of distortion — but only by a little bit.
Unlike the much more recent (2003) Sigma (not an especially bright lens, to say the least), clearly the Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM still has a lot to offer.
To help you gain a broader and more accurate perspective, here's a selection of DxOMark results for some other Canon-compatible wide-angle lenses:
- Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM II Canon
- Tokina AT-X 16-28 F2.8 PRO FX Canon
- Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM
- Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM

Wendy Williams BLASTS Kanye West
Listen to Kanye West Radio on iHeartRadio
Wendy Williams has an opinion on everything and her latest victim is Kanye West.
The talk show host took shots at the rapper for some statements he made to GQ. He insisted that he's making a better life for his daughter by fighting for "celebrity rights" but she slammed the superstar for spending so much time away from his family.
"How about you spent more time with your daughter at home, with your wife doing normal people things?" she said.
"Maybe then she'd have a shot at a normal life."

Jabber on Samsung Galaxy SII - OneWayAudio
I installed Jabber 188.8.131.522 on a Samsung Galaxy SII (model GT-I9100) (Android Version 2.3.3)
When I initiate a call from a Cisco phone (79xx) I get One-Way-Audio (audio only from the 79xx to the Samsung)
When I initiate a call from the Samsung to a 79xx phone, there is no problem
So I installed the same Jabber version on a HTC (Android version 2.2), and used the same device-id as the Samsung, connected and there
was no problem, normal two-way-audio.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
My quick reaction is that there is an issue with this version of Jabber in combination with the Samsung Galaxy SII
I use CUCM version 220.127.116.1100-21
thx for the help in advance

Fewer than half of the Los Angeles Unified students have a healthy body composition and one in three are considered at risk of future medical problems, according to a new state study.
Results from the 2011-12 physical fitness test, administered to California's fifth-, seventh- and ninth-graders, found that LAUSD students scored well below their counterparts statewide in virtually every category.
"When we can call fewer than one out of three of our kids physically fit, we know we have a tremendous public health challenge on our hands," state schools Superintendent Tom Torlakson said. "It affects more than their health. Study after study has demonstrated the very clear link between physical fitness and academic achievement."
Findings released late last week show that 43.5 percent of LAUSD's fifth-graders have a healthy body-mass index - their weight is appropriate for their height - while 43.2 are deemed so overweight as to endanger their future health. An additional 13.3 percent need to improve, but are not considered at risk.
Among fifth-graders statewide, 52.5 percent scored healthy while nearly 34 percent were considered at risk.
Among seventh-graders, 48 percent of LAUSD students have a healthy body composition, while 14.8 percent need improvement and 37.2 percent are considered at high risk.
Los Angeles Unified's ninth-graders fared the best, with 49.6 percent with a healthy body composition. Just 33.7 are considered high risk and 16.7 percent need improvement.
Statewide, 55.4 percent of seventh-graders and 59 percent of ninth-graders had a healthy body-mass index.
Students also were tested for aerobic capacity, flexibility and abdominal, upper-body and trunk extension strength. However, state officials said body composition was considered the most important indicator of future health problems.
Scores statewide and for Los Angeles Unified held steady from the 2010-11 school year.

cleft lip & clect palate
i would like to ask about how true is this. I often hear people telling pregnant women to be careful not to fall from stairs or other higher part which might cause miscarriage but if the fall is not that worst, they said that it might cause damage to the babies mouth resulting it to be cleft lip or cleft palate.
is this true? I once heard that our babies inside our tummy during our pregnancy were sucking their thumb which explains that if a pregnant woman fall to the ground, the impact results damage to the lips of the baby.
i would like to ask for your medical explanation on this.

A cleft lip and cleft palate are congenital defects which happen during gestational development. They tend to run in families even though there is no syndrome associated within the family members.
This leads me to believe that, once again, the health of the Grandmother affects the Mother which affects the child which affects the grand child. There are many studies which show that the health of the mother at the time of conception affects the child, and if a child is born with a constitutional weakness, it's likely that he/she will produce a child with a constitutional weakness as well.
This is why planning for pregnancy with preconception care is so very important, and choosing to eat the right foods during pregnancy is important too.
Taking a fall during pregnancy can cause mother to go into premature labour and baby to be born early, but baby is well protected within the womb, surrounded by amniotic fluid which helps to cushion him/her, so I'd have to say that there's no way that a fall could cause a cleft lip or cleft palate. A fall that doesn't cause mum to go into labour probably wouldn't affect the baby but it's always good to see your midwife or doctor if you are in a car accident or take a fall, just to be sure the pregnancy continues to progress well.
Warm regards,

Kate pretty much summed up everything I was going to say. The baby is well-cushioned within the amniotic sac. I had a major fall during my last pregnancy and baby is A-ok, with her older brother I was a passenger in a car wreck. There were huge bruises across my stomach, but again, no issues.

That must have been so scary mom2many - I'm glad you and your babies were ok.
Sara - I agree with Kate - I have worked with a number of children who have been born with a cleft palate and I know of no evidence this can be caused by a fall. Smoking in pregnancy and being overweight in pregnancy is known to increase the risk of having a baby with a cleft palate.
Best wishes,

Fort White man, 76, dies in one-car crash
Published: Saturday, November 10, 2012 at 5:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 10, 2012 at 5:58 p.m.
A Fort White man was killed early Saturday morning when he lost control of his car, possibly after suffering from a medical problem, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Dead is Nathaniel Watson, 76, FHP reported in a press release. The accident occurred about 7:09 a.m. on State Road 47 south of Azalea Place in Columbia County.
Watson was driving a 2001 Suzuki Esteem north on SR 47 when he hit several mailboxes and trees before overturning and hitting a large sign. Watson was ejected from the car, FHP reported.
"Due to the extended length of the scene and circumstances surrounding this crash, a medical condition is suspected to be a contributing factor," the release states.
Watson was flown by helicopter to Shands at the University of Florida, where he was declared dead.

Yet, in spite of garish paint, we can echo Viollet-le-Duc's sentiment, that it is worth while to be ill at Beaune.
Viollet-le-Duc computes that in 1866 they could not have been put up for less than 20,000.
Here Viollet-le-Duc established his bureau when engaged on the reconstruction of this great work.
It was cut like a Viollet-le-Duc tabard, and had not a trace of the fashion of the time.
For a long time past he had wanted to form a more definite impression of Viollet-le-Duc's work as a restorer.
Among the Mayas, says Viollet-le-Duc, painting went hand-in-hand with architecture, supplementing each other.
Viollet-le-Duc says that the "Saracinois" was a term applied to the makers of velvety carpets (tapis veloutés).
The 13th century clerestory gallery, which surrounds the upper portion of the apsidal chapels, was restored by Viollet-le-Duc.
The methods employed in the middle ages are described by Burges and Viollet-le-Duc.
The two porches placed outside the transept doors are the subject of a panegyric from the pen of Viollet-le-Duc.

On Sports
Bad CallBy Fritz Huber
The growing redundancy of sports commentary.
You're gonna have to learn your clichés. You're gonna have to study them, you're gonna have to know them. They're your friends. Write this down: 'We gotta play it one day at a time.'
—Bull Durham
They smelled the jugular.
—Sportscaster Chris Berman, during the 2002 NFL playoffs
In 1945, George Orwell's "The Sporting Spirit" appeared in the leftist weekly Tribune. The essay argued that large-scale athletic competition, rather than creating a "healthy rivalry" between opponents, is more likely to rouse humanity's "savage passions." Thus: "There cannot be much doubt that the whole thing is bound up with the rise of nationalism—that is, with the lunatic modern habit of identifying oneself with large power units and seeing everything in terms of competitive prestige."
To a contemporary reader, Orwell's assessment of the "sporting spirit" may feel exaggerated, if not slightly paranoid. Then again, in an age of rampant merchandising, zealous fandom feels more pervasive than ever. Not long ago, riding the subway, I saw an infant with a San Francisco 49ers pacifier; in the same car, there was a man wearing an Ohio State football sweater bearing the laconic slogan, "Fuck Michigan." What Orwell might have thought of such displays of allegiance is anyone's guess.
But what he would find troublesome is sports culture's continued abasement of the English language. Professional sports jargon has become so vacuous that TV interviews with athletes are increasingly farcical—and tremendously boring. An interview with LeBron James, after a botched play at the end of a quarter:
INTERVIEWER: Lebron, what happened with you and Norris on that inbounds pass?
JAMES: We didn't execute.
INTERVIEWER: You were talking to him as you guys walked off the floor. What did you say?
JAMES: That we need to execute better.
Perhaps such vagueness is intentional: if LeBron James had, in fact, just told his teammate that if he makes the same mistake again he's going to rip his face off, he'd be disinclined to share it with a national audience. For similar reasons, a coach interviewed at halftime isn't going to be too forthcoming when asked to reveal his strategy for the remainder of the game: "Well, Chris, we've just gotta keep pressuring their quarterback and not make any unnecessary mistakes."

Blake Shelton making plans for 2014 tour
Listen to Blake Shelton on iHeartRadio
Blake Shelton says he "cannot wait to get back out on the road."
The country star is making plans for the 2014 edition of his "Ten Times Crazier" tour. He admits that being in front of a crowd and seeing those people sing along with his songs is "one of the most validating things" to him.
Blake adds that he had so much fun on last year's tour, explaining that "no matter what" else he's doing, "absolutely nothing compares to playing live."
Details on the trek haven't been revealed yet. But Shelton will hit at least 20 cities across the U.S., including Dallas, Chicago, New York, Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Denver. He'll also be making stops at various fairs and festivals across North America.
Specific dates and venues are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Shelton will launch his "Ten Times Crazier Tour 2014" in June. The Band Perry, Neal McCoy, and Dan + Shay will be the openers.

Modern Love Podcast: Alex Karpovsky Reads 'Uh, Honey, That's Not Your Line'
July 26, 2017,
Lichen planus is a condition that forms an itchy rash on the skin or in the mouth.
The exact cause of lichen planus is unknown. It may be related to an allergic or immune reaction.
Risks for the condition include:
Lichen planus mostly affects middle-aged adults. It is less common in children.
Skin sores
Other symptoms:
The health care provider may make the diagnosis based on the appearance of the skin or mouth lesions.
A skin lesion biopsy or biopsy of a mouth lesion can confirm the diagnosis. Blood tests may be done to rule out hepatitis.
The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and speed healing. If symptoms are mild, you may not need treatment.
Treatments may include:
Lichen planus is usually not harmful. It usually gets better with treatment. The condition often clears up within 18 months but may come and go for years.
If lichen planus is caused by a medicine you are taking, the rash should go away once you stop the medicine.
Mouth ulcers that are present for a long time may develop into oral cancer.
Call your health care provider if:

Most law enforcement agencies have policies that guide their use of force. These policies describe a escalating series of
actions an officer may take to resolve a situation. This continuum generally has many levels, and officers are instructed
to respond with a level of force appropriate to the situation at hand, acknowledging that the officer may move from one part
of the continuum to another in a matter of seconds.
An example of a use-of-force continuum follows:

Tara - from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Make sure to follow recipe instructions exactly, measuring the ingredients precisely. Then, make sure your oven temperature is correct – use an accurate oven thermometer to check different parts of the oven to assure the temperature you set is what the temperature is inside the oven. Then, fill your muffin pan 1/2 to 2/3 full – overfilling will make the cupcake rise above the pan too quickly, before the structure of the baked cupcake can hold the rise.

could you post a link to the exact file so i could have a look?
Hi gents,
I have been searching for a solution for a while, but with no luck.
My issue is: In BT3 final( I have both HDD install and VMware) when I run: tar -jxvf filename.tar.bz2
to extract a the file,
it runs for a while, and then starts generating lines saying .....cannot open: no space left on device.
Now, I have tried from different machines, different drives, different commands, but i still get the same error message. I definitely have enough space on the drive I am trying to extract it to.
The file is about 50MB, downloaded from milworm website, and it's a python file.
Does anyone know why I get this error message, and how I can solve it?
Thanks in advance
Mmm, I have encountered a similar problem, but it was with john.
Do you use persistent changes ?
My problem came from the space allowed for saving changes on the special partition, and where temporary files are stocked. There was no space left on this partition, so I changed its size from 2 GB to 3, now it works great
Hope this will help.
I've had the same problem .. Its like Alan said, increase the size of your "changes" partition or just make room on the drive.On the HDD install, how are your partitions set up and what are the commands on your boot loader?
Hi guys,
The links from where i'm downloading the file are:hxxp://sugar.metasploit.com/debian_ssh_rsa_2048_x86.tar.bz2 and hxxp://milw0rm.com/sploits/debian_ssh_rsa_2048_x86.tar.bz2.
The partitions i have on my machine are: sda3 swap (1 GB), sda6 (1 GB) and sda7 (20GB). I tried on both sda6 and sda7, and had the same results.
I also downloaded the file on a usb key, and tried to untar it on a Windows machine, and had the same result. I do not think it is a space issue.Please advise back. Thanks
Hi Alan-Smithee,
How would i go about making those changes(e.g increase the size of the partition)?
How do i find out where my changes partition is?
Right now my configuration is:
sda6 mounted on / (8 GB)
sda3 swap
sda7 mounted on /mnt/data (20GB).
I guess all temporary files are stored in the /tmp filder, which in my case resides on sda6.
Any help is always very appreciated.
Find the folder "changes" and see where it is located.
Then, increase the partition on which this folder is using Gparted live cd I.E.
(be careful with this tool, if unsure, ask for help)

In his CM: the Next Generation series, Joe Farah gives us a glimpse into the trends that CM experts will need to tackle and master based upon industry trends and future technology challenges.
Joe Farah writes that evaluating and selecting configuration managment (CM) and application lifecycle management (ALM) tools is an opportunity both to ensure that you have a good process in place and to learn the present state and the state-of-the art in CM and ALM technology.
Evaluating and selecting configuration management (CM) and application lifecycle management (ALM) tools is an opportunity both to ensure that you have a good process in place and to learn the present state and the state-of-the art in CM and ALM technology. As with most technology, as you move from one generation to the next, the capabilities grow more rapidly, while the timeframe for each generation shrinks. Evaluation is a critical step in securing good process, and should be done in a manner that will ensure success. You don't want to start any project with the wrong requirements, nor with a dated understanding of technology.
First Things First
What's the best way to go about tool evaluation. Before you start evaluating, or at least as part of your initial preparation, make sure you equip yourself in the following three ways:
1) Know your users: talk to them. What would make their life easier. Your users don't know exactly what they need. But they might have some complaints, suggestions or other hints that will let you understand them. User complaints are normally high priority - and they should be. But some are objectively more urgent than others. Still, your users are your customers, so find out what you need to make them happy, and then plan to exceed their expectations.
2) Understand today's CM and ALM technology. It's not the same as ten years ago. It's not even the same as five years ago or three years ago. Yes, many tools stay the same, substantially, over long periods. But some are charging forward. And there are some new kids on the block too. Use the vendors to help you catch up. They say they've got some ground-breaking technology - make them tell you why in an hour or two. Read the CM Journal (especially the column CM: THE NEXT GENERATION).
3) Understand CM. There are many definitions of CM. But the scope of CM is so wide and varied, you need to understand where you stand. Are you interested in Software CM? Good. For traditional or agile processes? Look at both. Ask why you can't apply that agile process to your traditional environment. You may be the world's foremost expert on merge tools, but you might discover that one of the keys to successful CM is to minimize branching and merging, not to cater to the most complex scenarios. Maybe you're not interested in software at all? Maybe you want to understand CMII (icm.org) or ITIL. Maybe you're interested in asset management. These are related but different areas. You need to understand the global scope so that you don't, as I have done on a few occasions, go down a whole 15 minute conversation only to find out that you're talking about two different things.
What Next?
Now it's time to really take a look at what's out there. A lot of CM managers will look at a handful of tools, and then choose two or three to investigate in more detail. While you may get lucky this way, you can easily miss the tools best suited for your environment. Evaluation is a time-intensive process. Don't make a mistake up front that may cost you more time down the road.
Cast a wide net and read a paragraph or two about every tool. Pick 15 to 25 tools. Spend a half day or a day browsing through the web site for each tool, say 15 minutes per tool. Spend enough time to identify things you like and perhaps things you don't like. By the end of the day, you should be ready to start with a list of about six to eight vendors that you want to contact for more information. This may be a formal step, as in an RFI, or an informal step, as in, "Can you arrange a demo of your tool over the web?" If you're doing a formal RFI, spend the time FIRST to have some 1 or 2 hours web demos presented to you. In one week's time, you should be able to take your initial set of tools and have a good idea of which tools are candidates. But even more importantly, you'll have a better idea about what features and criteria are most important. This in turn will allow your RFI to be more intelligent.
During this week of demos you're going to learn a lot about tools: How wide-ranging they are; how user interfaces can vary; how the scope of one tool is far more or less than another. You probably won't have a good feel yet for things like performance, administration and customization, but the basic CM/ALM functions, traceability, and ease-of-use should make themselves apparent during a demo. At the end of each demo, ask the following questions:
1) How much will it cost, per user, all in, for 25 developers and 25 occasional users? For all the ALM tools if possible.
2) Can I install the tool to evaluate it myself? Do I need any special infrastructure or training? How much?
3) How many support staff do you recommend for administration and customization per 50 users, as in (1)?
