"IF Nile Ranger had been fit, we'd be in the play-offs."
Swindon Town manager Mark Cooper is convinced his side would be hot on the tails of sixth-placed Peterborough United right now, had it not been for his star striker's hamstring injury.
Ranger, who has scored 10 goals in 28 appearances for the Robins since arriving in August, has not featured for Town since February 14 after suffering a grade three hamstring tear during the Valentine's Day clash with Colchester United at the County Ground.
And Cooper feels his absence has had a major bearing on the way his team's season has played out.
He said: "I think everyone knows, if Nile Ranger had been fit we'd be in the play-offs. That's not blasé, I think it's true. If he'd been fit we'd have been in the play-offs.
"We didn't expect him or didn't envisage him getting injured and it has been so long. Nile's here, we have to pay him and that probably makes it different to bring someone else in of that ilk.
"If you look at the results in past and the ratios, if he'd have been fit I think we'd be in the play-offs. That answers something when you're talking about what we need to do next season."
Swindon currently find themselves seven points off the top six with just five games of the campaign remaining and, with a place in the end-of-season lottery well out of their own hands, the Town boss's claim that Ranger's presence would have made a significant difference are backed up by the statistical evidence.
From the 23 league games the former Newcastle frontman played, Swindon took 40 points at an average of 1.74 per game, scoring 43 goals in the process at an average of 1.87 per game.
In the 18 that he has missed, the Robins have amassed just 17 at less than a point a match. In that time they have managed 15 goals – again, less than one a game – and Town have only scored twice in a single match on one occasion since Ranger was ruled out through injury.
Ranger's one-year contract at the County Ground is set to expire this summer, though Swindon have the option of extending his stay by a further 12 months, and Cooper has hinted in recent weeks at the possibility of the 23-year-old returning for pre-season training in June.

EVERETT — Naval Station Everett has a new commander.
Navy Capt. James Duke Jr. of Lake Stevens relieved Capt. Michael Coury in a change of command ceremony Tuesday at the naval base. Coury reports to his new assignment as the chief of staff for Commander Carrier Strike Group 11, the USS Nimitz carrier strike group.
Before assuming command, Duke was special assistant for Navy aircraft carrier naval reactors operations. During his Navy career, Duke commanded the USS O'Kane and served as reactor officer aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. He is a 1987 Naval Academy graduate. Duke earned a bachelor of science degree in aerospace engineering. He completed his education at the Naval War College and Joint Forces Staff College.
Duke starts his command at Everett with the challenge of a summer marked by employee furloughs. Because of federal budget sequestration, 117 federal civilian employees at Naval Station Everett are scheduled to take 11 unpaid furlough days each before Sept. 27. Snohomish County's second largest employer, the Everett base is home to six ships and two Coast Guard vessels.
Meanwhile, at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, Electronic Attack Squadron 140, the "Patriots," and their technical support personnel arrived home Monday and Tuesday following a five-month combat deployment aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. The squadron of 200 now transitions from their Prowler jets to the new EA-18G Growler.

BT5 32bit gnome on HDD
I followed the instructions on this page verbatim:
I would post to the above thread, but it's closed. :/
Tor installed without errors, but there's no added application in the panel menu. Unless vidalia doesn't come with the terminal install, in linux MINT I just unpacked the tar.gz off the site (that technique doesn't work on BT5 I guess). Also, after adding the Tor button to firefox, enabling Tor and trying to go on the web I get:
"The proxy server is refusing connections
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections."
Which makes me guess that Tor didn't install correctly? Am I making a n00b mistake?

The most pressing question on Mitch Kupchak's mind these days has hardly produced much clarity.
Where will Dwight Howard play?
Even if he maintains he's "optimistic" Howard will continue donning the purple and gold, Kupchak, the Lakers' general manager, conceded he's anticipating the uncertainty that awaits at 9 p.m. Sunday.
For when the clock strikes midnight that day on the East Coast, that's when Howard will become an unrestricted free agent and can talk with any team he chooses. Those teams are expected to include the Lakers, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors. And possibly more.
The Lakers would like to be the last team Howard visits so they can put in the last word. But those close to Howard say that plan isn't definitive.
"We're anticipating July 1 will come and he'll experience being a free agent," Kupchak said recently. "That's really what he's earned."
The unsettling part for the Lakers is that Howard's decision influences how the Lakers handle this offseason.
"Absolutely," Kupchak said.
The following is a list of a few possible outcomes:
Such a move would indicate Howard embraces the team's high expectations and trusts in the new ownership run by president Jeanie Buss and vice president of player personnel Jim Buss.
Meanwhile, Kupchak has left open the possibility he would retain Pau Gasol even if Howard returns to the Lakers. The Lakers may have lost in a first-round playoff sweep (albeit without an injured Kobe Bryant), but Mike D'Antoni's offense didn't feature Howard and Gasol as much as they liked.
But the Lakers' 28-12 mark in their last 40 regular-season games featured a healthier Gasol and Howard playing in an offense more catered to them. Through seven games in April, the output from Howard (21.6 points) and Gasol (17.6 points) also represented their highest all season when they played together in the starting lineup.
If the Lakers largely maintained their $100 million payroll, they would pay an additional $80 million in luxury taxes. But considering the team's struggles in recent seasons can be partly attributed to lack of continuity, salvaging the roster could give them the best chance to win an NBA title or at least stay competitive.
With an injury-plagued year, Gasol never materialized into a good fit in D'Antoni's offense and averaged a career-low 13.7 points on 46.6 percent shooting. The Lakers could decide they're better off parting ways with Gasol, both to expand Howard's role and find a player more suited for D'Antoni's system.
Gasol's expiring $19.3 million contract and versatile skill set could attract offers, but the Lakers are somewhat limited in what they can do.
Because the Lakers would be above the luxury tax if Howard returns, they couldn't perform a sign-and-trade with Gasol for a free agent. It could only involve other players under contract. The Lakers also could waive Gasol via the amnesty provision, but that would only serve as a cost-cutting measure. It wouldn't help them land another player.
Houston boasts young talent in James Harden and Jeremy Lin, along with an up-and-coming coach in Kevin McHale, who cemented himself as one of the league's best big men with the Boston Celtics. Howard also wouldn't have to pay state income tax for the Rockets' 41 regular-season home games.
Meanwhile, the Lakers have uncertainty, ranging from Kobe Bryant's torn left Achilles tendon, a veteran-laden roster and a transition in ownership following Jerry Buss' death four months ago.
If Howard walks, the Lakers surely would keep Gasol and feature him as their starting center. They also would lean on Bryant, Steve Nash and Metta World Peace as their core lineup and look to add players at either the mini mid-level exception ($3.2 million) or veteran's minimum ($1 million). This may not secure an NBA title, but the Lakers would have financial flexibility heading into the 2014 offseason, which could contain a bevy of attractive free agents including LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, John Wall and Paul George.Lakers sign-and-trade HowardThe Lakers have maintained they're not looking to perform a sign-and-trade.
"If he wants to leave, he can just leave," Kupchak said. "He doesn't have to call us and ask our permission. He's an unrestricted free agent and he can go to any team that has cap room. We want him back in a Los Angeles Laker uniform."
But it will be interesting to see if the Lakers keep that position if it becomes clear Howard doesn't want to return. If the Lakers shipped Howard via sign-and-trade, it's possible they could receive draft picks, young talent or possibly even an All-Star caliber player.
That would give the Lakers a better chance to contend than simply maintaining cap flexibility for the 2014 offseason.

Student Projects for Engineering Experience & Design
PCI Big Beam:
Here's the problem:
You have to design and build a concrete beam that meets a builder's specific needs.
Hundreds of other engineers are working on the same thing.
Your beam has to be lighter, cheaper and stronger than the others.
Work toward a solution and you will:
-Get hands-on experience working with pre-cast and pre-stressed concrete
-Learn its intricacies, demands and potential
-Work with regional manufacturers that are PCI members
-Work with — and lead — a team of student engineers
-Compete with some of the best engineering students across the U.S.
-Prepare yourself for a career in structural engineering
This team is challenged to design a pre-stressed concrete beam that meets a strict set of criteria. The students complete the design and construction specifications and the beam is manufactured at a PCI (Pre-stressed Concrete Institute) member company. Team members predict the load when the concrete starts to crack, the maximum load that the beam can carry before it breaks and the deflection at maximum load.
The awards program includes cash prizes for the most efficient design, highest load capacity, best report and other categories.

I just installed google earth and it crashes on me as well. It boots me out of the GUI and back to the command prompt where I issue the command startx to get back into the GUI. I have an ATI X1400 card so my issue most likely is different but it isn't confined to your graphics card. I did a quick google search and found that some people were also having problems with Google Earth in slackware. Someone posted that if you run the following command and get the corresponding output then Google Earth will crash.
In my case I just had to reinstall the ATI drivers from ati.amd.com. But I also built the tgz file for Google Earth from slackbuilds.org. I'm not sure if the last sentence is pertinent but it seemed to work for me.Code:bt~# glxinfo | grep rendering direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
Also from that same post there was a link on how to enable DRI for various cards. This is an old post but could be useful as it has been recently updated.

Robert E.W. Fyffe, Ph.D.
Robert E. W. Fyffe, Ph.D., was named Wright State University vice president for research and graduate studies effective Feb. 6, 2012.
He served as associate dean for research affairs at Boonshoft School of Medicine in from 2001 through this year. In that position, he was responsible for administering programs designed to support the medical school's research activities in the basic and clinical sciences.
Dr. Fyffe is a professor of neuroscience, cell biology, and physiology at Wright State. From 2000 to 2006, he served as director of Wright State's Center for Brain Research, which was established with support from the Kettering Fund. In 2007, the School of Medicine significantly expanded the scope and mission of the Center for Brain Research by establishing the Comprehensive Neuroscience Center (CNC) for improving research of neurological, developmental, cognitive, psychiatric, and trauma-induced nervous system disorders. Later that year, Dr. Fyffe was one of five researchers associated with the CNC to receive a a prestigious Program Project Grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to further their research into why full recovery is not always achieved after damaged nerves have regenerated. In 2010, Wright State University and Premier Health Partners joined together to establish the WSU & PHP Neuroscience Institute, incorporating the CNC and further expanding the scope of neuroscience research at the medical school.
A native of Alexandria, Scotland, Dr. Fyffe received a B.Sc. degree with honors in biochemistry from the University of Glasgow. He holds M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in neurophysiology from the University of Edinburgh. Before joining Wright State's faculty in 1992, he was a research fellow at the Australian National University and a faculty member at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr. Fyffe's research on the anatomy and physiology of nerve cells is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
In 2008, Dr. Fyffe received the distinction of being named a University Professor. The title is a special rank awarded by the Wright State University Board of Trustees. It is reserved for full professors who have made outstanding contributions beyond the confines of their own discipline. Dr. Fyffe also has served as director of Wright State's Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. program.
Dr. Fyffe's laboratory is interested in synaptic mechanisms and integrative properties of neurons in spinal cord and brainstem circuits, involved in motor control and auditory processing respectively. Current studies are focused on the patterns of expression, and the subcellular localization, of pre- and post synaptic membrane ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors. We use a range of quantitative light and electron microscopic experimental and analytical methods, in conjunction with electrophysiological and computational approaches.

1.1 Scope of the Deskbook
The Deskbook describes the policies and procedures that must be
followed by Outside Counsel beginning with the execution of a Legal
Services Agreement ("LSA") (refer to
Chapter 3), continuing through retention and concluding with
post-representation responsibilities.
1.2 Identifying the FDIC as a Client
You may list the FDIC as a client in published materials as long as
you adhere to the following restrictions.
You may not represent that you have been "approved" as Outside
Counsel for the FDIC. As Outside Counsel, you are required to comply
with all applicable ethics rules regarding advertising, including
those restrictions pertaining to claims of "expert" status,
expertise, or specialization. Similarly, you may not quote FDIC
materials or staff comments as to performance evaluations, if any.
1.3 Statutory Compliance
The Legal Division requires all Outside Counsel to be familiar and
comply with all applicable statutes and orders, as well as
regulations, policies, procedures and directives promulgated
pursuant thereto. Refer to Appendix B
for a representative list of applicable federal laws
and regulations.
1.4 Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity
The FDIC has a strong commitment to equal opportunity under the law.
As part of the FDIC's Minority and Women Outreach program, the Legal
Division actively seeks to consider for engagement firms owned by
minorities and/or women. Moreover, the FDIC expects its contractors
and subcontractors to take affirmative action to ensure that all
individuals have an equal opportunity for employment, without regard
to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or status
as a qualified covered veteran as defined by 38 U.S.C. § 4212(a)(3).
"Minority-owned firms" are those that are at least 51% owned and
controlled (through day-to-day management) by one or more persons
who are members of one or more of the following groups:
"Women-owned firms" are those that are at least 51% owned and
controlled (through day-to-day management) by non-minority women.
Firms claiming minority- or women-owned status must certify their
status as such to the FDIC, and the FDIC may require additional
information to verify the status.
The FDIC also participates in the Small Business Administrations
(SBAs) Socially Disadvantaged Business (SDB) program. However, at
this time, legal services are not an industry recognized by the SBA
for SDB benefits.
1.5 Ethical Considerations
The FDIC expects you to maintain the highest ethical standards and
to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations governing
ethical conduct. In particular, you should be cognizant of the
For more information, contact the Ethics Section, FDIC Legal Division, Washington, D.C. at (877) 275-3342.
1.6 File Retention
All information maintained in the legal matter files, whether
supplied by the FDIC or third parties or created by you, including
attorney work product, is the property of the FDIC.
Under no circumstances may you withhold files for any reason
including a dispute over payment.
Upon completion or termination of the matter, you are responsible
for the preservation of the files until the FDIC authorizes the
files destruction or the FDIC orders their transfer to the FDIC or
another organization. Refer to
Chapter 8 and
Chapter 9.
1.7 Audit Rights
Outside Counsel must permit the FDIC, the FDIC Office of Inspector
General and the General Accounting Office, or their representatives,
to conduct audits or reviews of your FDIC billings, including
previously paid invoices. All paid invoices are subject to audit
regardless of disallowances taken during the fee bill review and
approval process.
For purposes of subsequent audits, Outside Counsel must retain
copies of all invoice packages and original underlying support
documentation, including time sheets and time and expense adjustment
records, for at least three years after final payment under the
legal referral.
The recordkeeping requirements for electronic billing (timekeeping)
systems are discussed in Appendix C. The FDIC reserves the
right to obtain additional information upon review of any itemized
fee bill or support documentation.
1.8 Fees and Expenses
The Legal Division will consider flat rate and other innovative rate
You must include in your fees or hourly rates for legal services
your costs of doing business, including all "overhead," general and
administrative costs, fringe benefits, and profit. You may not
submit and the FDIC will not pay invoices for such costs of doing
business. "Markups" above any costs actually incurred by you for any
supplies or services obtained by you for the Legal Division shall
not be charged to the FDIC; any discounts you receive are expected
to be passed on to the FDIC.
The FDIC will only pay reasonable costs for services rendered or
supplies provided in the course of representation. The invoice
process is discussed in Chapter 7.
The FDIC expects that computer software or other intellectual
property required in the course of your representation of the FDIC
will be included as an overhead component of your fees or hourly
rates. Therefore, FDIC shall not reimburse you for such expenses
absent prior written approval from the Senior Counsel of the FDIC
Legal Information and Technology Unit (LITU). All computer software
and other property purchased at FDIC expense shall be the property
of the FDIC and shall be delivered to the FDIC at closeout of the
matter (case) in accordance with the procedures contained in
Chapter 8. All licenses of computer software
and other intellectual property shall name the FDIC as the licensee
or shall be assignable to the FDIC without any additional cost upon
close out of the matter.
1.9 Malpractice Insurance
You are required to maintain adequate malpractice insurance when
representing the FDIC in all matters. You must advise the Legal
Division of the identity of your malpractice insurance carrier, the
extent and duration of your coverage, and limitations on your
coverage that may affect the FDIC. You must furnish a copy of the
malpractice insurance policy upon request by the Legal Division of
the FDIC or the Office of Inspector General.
1.10 Contacts with the Media and the Public
Extra-judicial statements regarding FDIC matters are almost always
inappropriate and often counterproductive. If media representatives
contact you concerning cases that you are handling on behalf of the
FDIC, you may confirm factual matters that are a matter of public
record. Under no circumstances shall you comment to the media on
other specifics of a case, such as potential appeals or settlements,
or on more general matters involving the FDIC's policies and
procedures or decision-making.
FDIC Office of Public Affairs
All media inquiries concerning FDIC matters must be referred to the
FDIC Office of Public Affairs in Washington, D.C., at (877) 275-3342
for response. Additionally, you should promptly advise the FDIC
Oversight Attorney of the inquiry and referral to the FDIC Office of
Public Affairs.
Speaking Engagements
If you address the public at seminars or other functions on topics
pertaining to the FDIC or laws and regulations affecting the FDIC,
you must disclose to the audience that you are making the
presentation on your own behalf and not on behalf of the FDIC.
1.11 Role of FDIC Oversight Attorney
Attorneys in the Legal Division are responsible for managing all
legal assignments and litigation, including matters referred to
Outside Counsel. Outside Counsel must consult with the Oversight
Attorney on all strategic and major tactical decisions associated
with a matter.
routine cases the Legal Division does not expect to be involved in
every decision. However, important decisions always should be
raised with your Oversight Attorney in sufficient time to allow for
meaningful review and consideration of the issues especially if a
case involves policy issues or substantial sums.
At the Beginning of the Legal Matter
It is important at the beginning of a legal matter to identify
clearly the objectives to be achieved and possible alternative
courses of action. As a general matter (depending in part on the
scope of the assignment), the Oversight Attorney will:
During the Course of the Legal Matter
During the course of the legal matter, the Oversight Attorney will:
Contacts with Other FDIC Offices
Generally all contact with non-legal FDIC personnel should be made
through the Legal Division. This policy permits the most efficient
utilization of resources and serves to avoid duplication of effort
and to minimize costs. Therefore, you are expected to direct all
communications to your Oversight Attorney, except in the following
Under special circumstances or in certain types of litigation, your
Oversight Attorney may make arrangements for more extensive direct
contact with FDIC business personnel. This might occur, for example,
in a case involving an in-depth investigation of an institution's
Charges for time and expenses related to contacts other than those
authorized may not be paid.
1.12 Termination
The Legal Division reserves the right to discontinue its
relationship with you for any or no reason. Notification will be
confirmed in writing. You will be contacted and provided
instructions concerning disposition of files and other FDIC
property. Your cooperation during transition is an ethical
obligation and necessary for an orderly transfer of legal matters.
You must forward upon demand of the Legal Division all files and
documents concerning the terminated legal matter(s) including all
work product of your firm. It is important that you promptly forward
files as instructed. Failure to do so may delay or prevent payment
of your final invoice. Under no circumstances may you withhold files
in the event of a dispute with the FDIC.

This is the corkscrew that provides 6X more torque than typical wine openers to enable easy cork removal. Similar to an automobile's automatic transmission, the corkscrew uses a planetary gear design: a central "sun" gear spins three "planet" gears to enable extraction of the cork with minimal exertion from the user. Turning the handle clockwise quickly plunges the worm into the center of the cork and turning it counterclockwise extracts it with little effort, thanks to the 6:1 gear ratio and durable stainless steel gears. The steel worm extracts real or synthetic corks, the corkscrew's housing is made of durable polycarbonate, and the rubber grips at the base enable a confident hold. Includes a foil cutter. 9 1/3" H x 2 1/3" Diam. (1 lb.)

Folic acid and birth defect preventionPrevention of birth defects with folic acid (folate)
There is good evidence that taking folic acid before and during pregnancy can reduce the risk of certain birth defects (spina bifida, anencephaly, and some heart defects).
Experts recommend taking 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid every day before you get pregnant through the first 3 months of pregnancy. If you are thinking about getting pregnant in the near future, you should take a multivitamin that contains 400mcg of folic acid.
Women who have had a baby with a neural tube defect will need a higher dose of folic acid. If you have had a baby with a neural tube defect, you should take 400 micrograms of folic acid every day, even when you are not planning to become pregnant. If you plan to become pregnant, you should talk to your doctor and increase your folic acid intake to 4 milligrams (mg) each day during the month before you become pregnant until at least the 12th week of pregnancy.

New twist in the Aliza Sherman case
(Cleveland) - Retired ophthalmologist Dr. Sanford Sherman has hired prominent defense attorney Niki Schwartz.
The doctor is the husband of Aliza Sherman who was stabbed to death in downtown Cleveland last march.
Dr. Sherman has retained a lawyer, even though police have yet to call him a suspect in his wife's murder.
It's been two months since the attack and there is a 25-thousand dollar reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
Schwartz is characterized as a "super lawyer" and is best known for helping to negotiate the end of the Lucasville prison riot back in 1993.

Historical Perspectives
The politics of Migron (ISRAEL HAYOM OP-ED) Dr. Haim Shine 03/26/12)
Source: http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=1627
Israel Hayom
Israel Hayom Articles-Index-Top
The citizens of Israel have no choice but to abide by Supreme Court judgements, even if they are wrong and manifestly unjust. If people didnt fear the court system, they would surely raise their hands against their brothers, especially in such a divided and polarized society as this one. Compliance with the rules of democracy is a cornerstone of Israels existence as both a Jewish and a democratic state.
For many years, there has been growing alienation between Israeli citizens and the Supreme Court. Many Israelis, especially from the Right and the religious sectors, justifiably sense that the Supreme Court serves a liberal leftist agenda. This agenda is accepted by only a small minority of Israeli society. This agenda has not succeeded in mustering a majority in the Knesset, so it uses the Supreme Court to promote itself.
Israels Supreme Court has adopted a clear and conspicuous line of postmodernism, alienated from the Zionist and Jewish values upon which the state was founded. It is a strategic choice to turn Israel from a Jewish state to a state of all of its citizens, a state whose Jewish character is summed up in the speaking of Hebrew.
In order to pursue this ideology, the Supreme Court has created a dangerous friction between itself and both the Knesset and the government. A spirit of judicial activism has led the court to intervene in security, ethical and economic matters, ignoring the basic fact that the Supreme Court is not an elected body. Knesset members, in contrast, are public emissaries, elected to promote the interests of their constituents, according to the democratic principle of majority rule.
To better explain my claim, I want to provide two recent examples. For several decades, since the establishment of the state, Israeli society has engaged in a difficult debate about drafting yeshiva students into the IDF. Haredi leaders posit that Torah study is a necessary defensive weapon for ensuring the continuation of Jewish existence. The secular state views draft dodgers as not carrying their share of societys burden. The two arguments start from different assumptions and run parallel to each other, making the difference almost impossible to resolve.
In 2002 the Knesset enacted the Tal Law, named after a former Supreme Court judge, designed to encourage the ultra-Orthodox to serve in the military. Any intelligent person realizes that what happened is nuanced and should therefore be treated as gently as possible. The Supreme Court recently ruled the Tal Law unconstitutional, thereby placing the government, the Knesset and the court itself in an impossible situation. Any fair-minded person understands that the Supreme Court is not the forum for working out complex social issues.
The next example is Migron, an outpost established on a hilltop in the Binyamin region. A few dozen upstanding and idealistic families have lived there for many years in caravans, out of the belief that they are fulfilling the Zionist values of security and settlement. When they first built the community, they received financial assistance from the state of Israel. At a certain point, the Supreme Court decided that they were occupying privately-owned Arab land. Surprisingly, no Palestinian has yet proven ownership of the land. But the Supreme Court decided that we are obligated to evacuate the residents. The Israeli government, understanding how harsh evacuation can be, especially after the evacuation of Gush Katif in 2005, reached an agreement with the residents to move them to an alternative location. The Supreme Court opposed the agreement between the government and the residents and set a date for the evacuation within three months. This decision is especially puzzling given the fact that the Supreme Court has yet to decide who owns the land.
The Supreme Courts problematic conduct is viewed by most of the public as overstepping its jurisdiction into the political sphere. Such intervention is likely to damage the courts status. We can only hope that the justices refrain from complaining about the publics negative attitude toward their ruling. They have earned this attitude through their own honest efforts. Woe to the nation who have to judge their judges.
Nevertheless and despite everything, we must uphold the courts ruling.

Officer Involved Shooting in Long Beach
LONG BEACH (CNS) - Police are investigating an officer-involved shooting in Long Beach that led to a suspect being taken to an area hospital.
The condition of the suspect was unknown, said Marlene Arrona of the Long Beach Police Department.
Arrona said police were dispatched at 9:47 a.m. to Third Street and Long Beach Boulevard regarding "a person with a gun" call. A SWAT team was dispatched to the location.
At about 11:35 a.m. Metro Blue Line service to the First Street station was interrupted to allow police to conduct a investigation, according to Kim Upton of Metro.
Service has since resumed, according to Upton, who said that there may have been an armed woman who barricaded herself inside a building.
Police were unable to confirm that.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by percyhoward, Nov 18, 2012.
He is improving which is all you can hope for. Meanwhile he's on his way to 1150 yds 7-8 TDs.
He needs to do this on a semi-consistent basis.
Yeah, I also think he thought he had the first down. I missed the thread when he did that so I don't know that anyone criticized him too harshly for it but I can imagine they did.
As far as his development goes, you can see the change in his game. If Romo would just get some time and make a few more accurate throws, he can crack the game open. He is a game changer.
He's gone over 100 yards in 3 games, over 80 in another 3 games. In 4 games he's been targeted 5 times or less. That's about as semi-consistent as it gets given a 10 game sample.
dez was a beast today
I wanted to post this in the "Is Romo on the Downside?" thread, but it's been locked. Miles isn't half the deep threat that Robinson was, or that Dez could be. Not a knock on Miles, his game is catch-and-run, and he's the best at it.
He's our leading receiver (yards wise) right now.
Do you all realize we have three players over 700 yards receiving....and we only have 8 TDs from those three players?
The games where he's targeted so few times is because he runs the wrong route, causing an INT, and Tony stops throwing to him.
Thats funny, cause Tony didnt even throw an interception against Atlanta when Dez was targeted 4 times, or against Carolina when Dez was targeted 3 times, or last week against Philly when he was targeted 5 times. You wanna try again with a different story?
only one stupid play today. A quick whistle kept him from two tds today. much better
Dez played like I'd expect from a guy with the ability he has today. He was a beast out there today and I was glad to see it.
We take the good and the bad with Romo...why can't Dez get that same satisfaction?
Sounds like your making theo's point for him.
So the premise is:
-Dez Bryant receives few targets in select games
-Dez Bryant receives few targets in these games because he "runs the wrong route, causing an INT by Romo, thus Romo stops throwing the ball"
-The Natural proceeds to state that in 3 games Romo threw no interceptions yet Bryant's targets were still relatively low, debunking his theory
-Percy Howard proceeds to say The Natural is making Theo's point for him
Kid played a great game today that's all that really matters, we got the win.
Staying away from talking about myself in the 3rd person, a low number of targets resulting in fewer INT actually supports his point, doesn't it?
Dez played great today. This what he's capable of doing on an every week basis. In the last two weeks he's played very solid football. 15 catches, 212 recieving yards, and two touchdowns. Hopefully it continues because we need this kind of production from him.
can you read? he said he had low # of targets because he made mental mistakes, causing an interception by Romo, and because of that Romo stops throwing him the ball, that was his point.. I don't know why we're even having this discussion, I've seen Romo throw interceptions and literally come right back to Dez on the next passing play.
Hats off to Dez Man-Child grew up a little today, keep it up please.
You're right. He didn't throw to him in the Atlanta game because of the missed route he ran in the immediately preceding Giants game that caused an INT.

Antispam legislation for the Cayman Islands is being considered by the Information and Communications Technology Authority.
The ITCA is now seeking input through a public consultation campaign. The goal is to ensure that any antispam legislation enacted in Cayman Islands is an effective tool as part of a multipronged attack on spam.
More information can be found here.
The Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts has conducted a legislative review of the Spam Act.
The review is required by legislation to assess the operation of the Spam Act after two years of its operation. The Department prepared a report based on the submissions received. The Minister tabled the report in Parliament on 22 June 2006.
The Ministers press release is available here.
The International Herald Tribune in their recent article on Wireless: From zero to 3G: A cellphone utopia? , noted that "Executives in the cellphone and computer industries are fond of speaking about bridging the digital divide, the gap between people with access to technology and those without. But translating the talk into action is not easy. In addition, the benefits of high-tech gadgetry for the poor often are not evident. How do you bring Internet access to remote villages in Africa? And are people's lives going to improve once they can get online? The GSM Association, a trade group that represents mobile phone operators in 213 countries, has a plan for the first question and responds with a resounding yes to the second."
"This month, the association introduced a "3G for All" program that aims to make multimedia phone services and mobile Internet access available to people on the fringe of the digital world. Bringing cellphone services to the two-thirds of the world's population that does not yet use them has long been a goal of the association, which last year promoted a project to build the cheapest possible telephone. Thanks in part to that initiative, the wholesale price of the cheapest cellphones has dropped to less than $30, but now the association wants to take that a step further by encouraging the production of a low-cost mobile phone that works on third-generation networks. Those phones today are typically expensive and advanced, nearly mini-computers themselves."
The aim is to have a group of GSM Association members to define a core set of requirements that the low-cost 3G handsets must have, and then several manufacturers will compete to design the phone that best meets those requirements at the most competitive price.

Ministry of Information Industry (MII), Internet Society of China (ISC) and China Communications Standards Association (CCSA) launched a national anti-spam campaign on June 21, reports Nanfang Daily. An insider at ISC said MII has set up a hotline at 01-12321 for spam-related tip-offs and is preparing to send out one million anti-spam notices.
The report said that professional training will be offered for 1,000 email administrators and that 20,000 anti-spam volunteers will be recruited.
ITU and infoDev, recently launched a new module of their collaborative online ICT Regulation Toolkit. This module is dedicated to the Legal and Institutional Aspects of Regulation
"This is the single most helpful regulatory tool that I have seen", said Dr. Salomão Manhiça Chairman, Instituto Nacional de Telecomunicações de Moçambique, Mozambique. "It has such a tremendous potential to assist all the staff at the INCM, as well as to help me too", he added. Tracy Cohen, Councillor of the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa, agrees: "The ICT Regulation Toolkit is a critical resource for regulators, both in developed and developing countries. With its origins in the well known 2000 Telecommunications Regulation Handbook, its credibility and usefulness is already established. The revised toolkit builds on this reputation and is essential reading for all regulators needing to gain access to the leading thinking on effective regulation, especially in a converging environment." The ICT legal and institutional framework determines how rapidly markets grow in different countries and how many users have access to ICT. An enabling environment is key to reaching the goal of connecting all the worlds villages to ICT by 2015, as agreed by world leaders at the World Summit on the Information Society.
For further information, access the Legal and Institutional Framework Module and other modules of the ICT Regulation Toolkit.
United Kingdom's Ofcom is currently working on a publication examining various national and international approaches to protecting consumers on the internet.
Coincidening with this publication, the regulator will hold a seminar will that allow stakeholders to examine the results of Ofcom's survey, hear the views of Internet industry stakeholders and discuss what can be done in the future to better protect consumers on the Internet. Ofcom organising such an event is a measure of the challenge posed to both regulator and consumer by the growth of net services and the collision of the highly regulated world of broadcasting with the virtually unregulated world of the internet.

According to a recently released article by CircleID, the United Kingdom today is one of the main attack targets by phishing organized crime groups, globally. Worldwide it is estimated (CircleID) that phishing damages will amount to about two billions USD in 2006 -- not counting risk management measures such as preventative measures, counter-measures, incident response and PR damages.
In most cases, phishing is caused by the fault of the users, either by entering the wrong web page, not keeping their computers secure or falling for cheap scams. Often this is due to lack of awareness or ability in the realm of Internet use rather than incompetence by the users.

I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
I've only been using Backtrack on-and-off for a couple of years or so, but damn this new release seems polished.
Hello! Really nice new forum.
Been playing with Back|Track for a few years. Looking forward to gaining more knowledge/insights.
hello great to be here
Hello, i've been a member in remote exploit and playing with backtrack for quite a long time, and i just want to say it's great. Good job Backtrack developer team
Hello-Hello backtrack people! Downloading BT4 Final atm ^ ^ As soon as it gets downloaded I'll upload a video on HowToCrack WEP Networks
Hello everyone,
I started a network testing and security auditing company a year ago and was using tools that I found all over the place.
It would take me forever to get a system up and running the way I like with the tools I need.
I was amazed when I came across BT. It has everything I need and a bit more too!
I'm not really new to *nix, but I am new to BT.
Most questions I've had, I've found the answers for them with minimal effort. Yes, I still search through the old forums too.
Metasploit is a huge resource that I haven't really touched until now. I'm slowly going through the Metasploit Unleashed course so I may have some questions, however, I'm a pretty exhaustive searcher, so don't expect many.
Thank you BT team for bringing the community this great distro, keep it up!!
Dear esteemed Sirs/Madames here,
I am quite certain I will attain all the necessary knowledge within this forum between these threads.
Yours Sincerely,
