hmm interesting...anyone have a copy of the acedemic article itself?
Came across this an hour or so ago while browsing around and it was such a good read i couldn't help but post it. The only thing that kept coming to mind was 3 letter acronyms and government sponsored research.
Its a good read even if your the not so technical type, but that shouldn't be a problem here i hope
CPU Backdoors
Using backtrack for the first time is like being 10 years old again with the keys to a Ferrari.
hmm interesting...anyone have a copy of the acedemic article itself?
Not to mention it is copyrighted so technically there may be something against someone giving it to you.
SpringerLink - Book Chapter
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Highly unlikely, but still a scary thought if there indeed was a backdoor inside every single computer running an AMD/Intel processor out there.
Thanks for the link enjoyed reading it (:

FOX sub host Buttner overstated homeland security funding for cities
A day after she acknowledged [1] FOX News Channel's efforts to report a favorable economic picture, Your World w/ Neil Cavuto [2] substitute host Brenda Buttner [3] grossly overstated the amount of homeland security funding provided by the federal government to American cities during a conversation with U.S. Conference of Mayors [4] president Donald L. Plusquellic [5] and executive director J. Thomas Cochran [6].
From the August 11 edition of FOX News Channel's Your World w/Neil Cavuto:
COCHRAN: Obviously, Secretary Ridge, President Bush, there are a lot of dollars that have been earmarked and have been sent out to different cities for Homeland Security --
BUTTNER: Twenty-six billion dollars.
COCHRAN: A lot of money, there's no question about that.
The actual amount that has been provided to cities and states by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is much lower, probably closer to $8 billion. A report [7] issued in June by the Task Force on State and Local Homeland Security Funding (of which Plusquellic is vice chair [8]) examined ways to facilitate the disbursement to states and cities of the "homeland security funds totaling over $8 billion that has been awarded over the past two years." Ridge echoed this $8 billion figure in a February press conference [9] announcing the DHS budget for FY2005. A July 22 GOP fact sheet [10] claims a higher number, declaring that President Bush has "[a]llocated more than $13 billion to help state and local governments prepare for terrorism" -- though that is still half the amount asserted by Buttner.
While it is not clear from where Buttner acquired the $26 billion figure, what is clear is that the administration seeks to decrease the amount of homeland security funding being provided to cities and states. As Government Executive magazine reported [11] on February 2, the administration's proposed fiscal year 2005 budget "reduces funding for other grant programs, such as Citizen Corps, Fire Act Grants, state and local training initiatives, training exercises and technical assistance. Overall, the amount of grant funding available to state and local governments decreases by $805 million from fiscal year 2004." According to the article, Senator Joseph Lieberman [12] (D-CT) criticized the budget request, saying: "President Bush has been seriously underfunding homeland security for the past two years."

If it the new iPhone can transform Into an iPad on voice command I'm all in. :P
How are they going to improve the screen. The Retina display is one best on the market.
Maybe a 720p Screen?
This site has become as hilariously pathetic as the HuffPo and countless others.
This article, Mr Swanson, is probably one of the best "how-to-talk-with-your-*****" ever.
This, is called : "The Art Of Making News Out Of Thin Air". After all, in an era of budget cuts, why even bother writing news articles, when one can simply type vague hearsay (when not utter BS), all-the-while sucking on a greasy good ol' American sandwich.
This is also called journalism from brainless trouts.
Yipee Kay Yay…
How is iPhone 4S not the same as iPhone 5? Do the writers here not realize how different the iPhone 3GS was from the iPhone 3G? Same exterior appearance, totally different device. Seems obvious to me.
And no I do not consider a speed jump a major upgrade. I can deal with waiting an extra half-second for my programs to open and an extra few seconds for a web page or Youtube video to load.
Edit: I had to add something. A faster device doesn't mean faster web loading. If your device is suffocating due to lack of resources, then a faster device will help web pages load a little faster. But if your iPhone isn't starving for RAM, then iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, or whatever it is, will load web pages and youtube videos just as fast, or slow, and your older device did.
I would like a bigger screen. What is so bad about it being 4"? It's been the same size for 4 years.

OpenVPN server Karmic
OpenVPN server Karmic
One computer on a LAN can be designated as a VPN server to allow encrypted traffic to pass between remote clients and the computers on the LAN (through the VPN server portal). OpenVPN uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates when establishing an encrypted VPN tunnel between two nodes (the server and the client).
This hardware requirements of a dedicated VPN server depend on the number of simultaneous communication tunnels that are anticipated. A very modest computer can fulfill the needs of a VPN server if less than 10 VPN connections are anticipated. A VPN server with dozens of tunnels may benefit from greater RAM and CPU speed. Of course, the speed of the ethernet connection is the limiting factor, so robust networking cards are very important (Gigabit speeds are desirable, at least).
Using a bridge interface
An OpenVPN server often uses a bridge interface. One network connection (an ethernet card, for example) connects to the WAN (Internet) through which the VPN connection is made, and a second network connection (a second ethernet card, for example) connects to the LAN. The traffic between these two connections is "bridged." See Network Interface Bridging for more details.
OpenVPN Server Installation
- Install OpenVPN:
sudo apt-get install openvpn
Server certificates
- Create the OpenVPN server certificates.
- Copy the easy-rsa directory to /etc/openvpn. This will ensure that any changes to the scripts will not be lost when the package is updated.
sudo mkdir /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/ sudo cp -r /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/ /etc/openvpn/
- Edit /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars and adjust the variables for your environment:
export KEY_COUNTRY="US" export KEY_PROVINCE="CA" export KEY_CITY="MyCity" export KEY_ORG="MyCompany" export KEY_EMAIL="firstname.lastname@example.com"
- Run the scripts to create the server certificates:
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/easy-rsa source vars ./clean-all ./build-dh ./pkitool --initca ./pkitool --server server cd keys openvpn --genkey --secret ta.key sudo cp server.crt server.key ca.crt dh1024.pem ta.key /etc/openvpn/
Client Certificates
- A VPN clients requires a certificate in order to authenticate itself to the VPN server.
- Create the certificate:
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/ source vars ./pkitool hostname
- Note: Replace hostname with the actual hostname of the client machine that will be connecting to the VPN.
- Copy the certificate files that have been created to the client:
- /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/hostname.ovpn
- /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/ca.crt
- /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/hostname.crt
- /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/hostname.key
- /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/ta.key
- Note: Use the files that correspond to your client machine's hostname.
Server Configuration
- On the OpenVPN server, modify /etc/openvpn/server.conf from the example file:
sudo cp /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/server.conf.gz /etc/openvpn/ sudo gzip -d /etc/openvpn/server.conf.gz
- Edit etc/openvpn/server.conf:
sudo nano /etc/openvpn/server.conf
- Changing the following options to resemble:
local 172.18.100.101 dev tap0 server-bridge 172.18.100.101 255.255.255.0 172.18.100.105 172.18.100.200 push "route 172.18.100.1 255.255.255.0" push "dhcp-option DNS 172.18.100.20" push "dhcp-option DOMAIN example.com" tls-auth ta.key 0 # This file is secret user nobody group nogroup
- Notes:
- local: is the IP address of the bridge interface.
- server-bridge: needed when the configuration uses bridging. The 172.18.100.101 255.255.255.0 portion is the bridge interface and mask. The IP range 172.18.100.105 172.18.100.200 is the range of IP addresses that will be assigned to clients.
- push: directives to add networking options for clients.
- user and group: configure which user and group the openvpn daemon executes as.
- Replace all IP addresses and domain names above with those of your network.
- Create helper scripts to add the tap interface to the bridge.
- Create /etc/openvpn/up.sh:
sudo nano /etc/openvpn/up.sh
- Add the lines:
#!/bin/sh # BR=$1 DEV=$2 MTU=$3 /sbin/ifconfig $DEV mtu $MTU promisc up /usr/sbin/brctl addif $BR $DEV
- Create /etc/openvpn/down.sh:
sudo nano /etc/openvpn/down.sh
- Add the lines:
#!/bin/sh # BR=$1 DEV=$2 # /usr/sbin/brctl delif $BR $DEV /sbin/ifconfig $DEV down
- Make the scripts executable:
sudo chmod 755 /etc/openvpn/down.sh sudo chmod 755 /etc/openvpn/up.sh
- Restart OpenVpn:
sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn restart
Client Configuration
- Copy the example client configuration file:
sudo cp /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/client.conf /etc/openvpn
- Edit the client configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/openvpn/client.conf
- Change it to resemble:
dev tap remote vpn.mycompany.com 1194 cert hostname.crt key hostname.key tls-auth ta.key 1
- Note: Replace vpn.mycompany.com with the hostname of your VPN server, and hostname.* with the actual certificate and key filenames that correspond to the client.
- Restart OpenVpn:
sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn restart
- Connect the VPN client to the remote LAN through the OpenVPN server.

The red-hot boot of Trent Hodkinson rescued Canterbury for the second successive week to move Des Hasler's side to the top of the NRL ladder in a Good Friday classic against South Sydney at ANZ Stadium.
Hodkinson bisected the posts with a well-struck field goal two minutes from time to seal a 15-14 victory in front of a crowd of more than 41,000 - the best of the season - five days after doing likewise in a 21-20 win over the Warriors.
Hasler praised his side's resolve after a third straight victory by a solitary point - all via late field goals - but said his side couldn't keep getting away with handling errors which littered their first-half display as they came back from 14-6 down in the second period.
"We made it difficult for ourselves with eight penalties in the first half and I would say eight of those were leg-ups," Hasler said.
"We hung in there in the second half and we got back into it and started to have back-to-back sets.
"At 14-6 down, I bet a lot of people were writing our obituaries, but we are not getting carried away. Souths were down on a lot of troops. It was a bit of a scrappy affair."
Souths coach Michael Maguire was proud of the way his patched-up side competed, with George Burgess and Ben Te'o out due to suspension and four of his players off the field at one stage in the first half.
Only hooker Api Koroisau failed to return but Maguire was unhappy with the referees' decision to allow Corey Thompson's decisive second-half try with John Sutton looking to have been impeded.
"I don't usually say much about the rules, but John Sutton got impeded," Maguire said.
"Unfortunately he was the person standing next to the place where the try was scored but, if he doesn't get impeded, then he would have stopped it.
"I still think we should have stopped that even though it did happen, but I don't understand the ruling if that try was allowed.
"When you run from outside in and you get impeded and you can't get to where the ball should be, then it should be a penalty."
Koroisau could be set for spell on the sidelines after injuring his shoulder and Joe Picker is also struggling with a rib injury that resulted in Dale Finucane being placed on report for a crusher tackle.
The young back-rower was penalised for a second time for a lifting tackle just before halftime.
"It was a real gallant effort from the boys. Young Api hurt his shoulder, but we hope he'll be OK," Maguire said.
"To get knocked off was disappointing but we've learned a lot from this and will come back stronger."
Canterbury were hit with an infraction notice by the NRL for handing in an incorrect teamsheet.
The club will be fined after the teamsheet incorrectly stated Greg Eastwood would start on the bench instead of Finucane.

Prince William & Duchess Kate Middleton: Baby on the Way!
Posted Monday December 3, 2012 12:22 PM GMT
It turns out all the rumors have finally come true— Kate Middleton is "in the very early stages" of pregnancy with Prince William's baby and everyone is super excited.
A statement from Buckingham Palace and Clarence House confirmed that the Duchess of Cambridge is with child, the first grandchild for either side of their families.
Earlier today (December 3) Kate was taken to King Edward VII Hospital in London, England with a severe form of morning sickness called hyperemesis gravidarum and is expected to stay there for a few days.
Will and Kate got married in April 2011 in a massive ceremony, and ever since they said "I Do" it seems they've been plagued with pregnancy reports.

Can u do a tag team tournament but a 4 way match up two guys fight and can tag any one from the ouher pairs but not the opponents partner. And it be an elimination process. '8 men enter but 2 men the victor'
ICON Jiu Jitsu
The only bars i go to are Arm Bars, Knee Bars and a Mars Bar
Oh, guys, I forgot to mention the pay scheme. I am going to be upfront about it like Pro Kumite and have a set fee.
It will work like this;
- basic pay is £100 x number of fights you have had on my show
- £50 bonus for cutting your opponent, £100 if it is judged to bleed heavily
- £250 bonus for each limb break
- £250 KO bonus (strikes)
- £500 KO bonus (slam or spike)
I think aggressive fighters will like this because it offers the chance to earn a very good amount for even their first fight.
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
Can I make an addition:
Relatives of either fighter are allowed to enter the cage and wade into the other fighter or his corner men with kick's / headbutts. They may also hijack Microphones and tell the crowd to 'fack off!'

The Weekly Health Quiz: Tattoos, Zika and Thyroid Problems
July 28, 2017,
Orbital pseudotumor is a swelling of the tissues behind the eye in an area called the orbit. The orbit is the bony cavity in the skull where the eye sits. It protects the eyeball and the muscles and tissue that surround it.
Unlike cancerous tumors, orbital pseudotumor does not spread to other tissues or places in the body.
Idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome (IOIS)
The cause is unknown. It most commonly affects young women, although it can still occur at any age.
Signs of pseudotumor can be seen when the eye is examined. Tests must be done to tell the difference between pseudotumor and a cancerous tumor and eye problems that can occur in people with thyroid disease.
Tests may include:
Mild cases may go away without treatment. More severe cases will usually respond to treatment with corticosteroids. Very severe cases may develop damaging pressure on the eye, and require surgical movement of the bones of the orbit to relieve pressure on the eyeball.
Most cases are mild and do well. Severe cases may be resistant to treatment and visual loss may occur. Orbital pseudotumor usually involves only one eye.
Severe cases of orbital pseudotumor may push the eye forward to the extent that the lids can no longer protect the cornea, leading to drying of the affected eye. This can lead to damage to the clarity of the cornea, or to corneal ulcer (wound). The eye muscles may not be able to properly aim the eye, and double vision may result.
Patients with pseudotumor will be closely followed by an ophthalmologist with experience in the treatment of orbital disease.
If you experience irritation of the cornea, redness, pain, or decreased vision, call your ophthalmologist or general health care provider right away.

Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies (1994) is a work of historical fiction based on the lives of the four Mirabal sisters, who participated in underground efforts to topple Rafael Leonidas Trujillo's three-decade-long dictatorial regime in the Dominican Republic. Three of the sisters—Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa—were slain on Trujillo's orders on November 25, 1960. Their story haunted Alvarez, whose own family had fled the Dominican Republic just three months earlier in fear that her father's participation in the resistance would make him a target of Trujillo.
The novel is both an homage to the bravery and sacrifice of the Mirabal family and a literary work of high grace. The first chapter begins in 1994 when a young Dominican-American writer, a gringa dominicana, visits the surviving sister, Dedé Mirabal, at the sisters' childhood home, which has been turned into a museum. Exhausted by the steady stream of pilgrims who have visited her in the thirty-four years since her sisters' deaths, Dedé reluctantly begins to tell the story of a family entwined with the political turmoil of their country.
In the body of the book, narrated in turn by each of the four sisters, Alvarez brings them to life, skillfully telling the story of four young girls who come of age wanting the same things most young women hope for: love, family, and freedom. Each of the sisters chooses to join the revolution in her own time—even Dedé, the one who lives to tell the tale and admits she only got involved "when it was already too late."
Scattered through the girls' stories are glimpses of a nation under siege, where the simplest liberties have been stripped away. We learn the details of the Butterflies' martyrdom slowly and, as it emerges from its chrysalis, readers find a story that spreads its wings, pauses to breathe the air of freedom, and gently takes flight.
Minerva Mirabal
Independent, outspoken Minerva is determined to get an education but, even after finishing law school, is prohibited by Trujillo from practicing. She is the first to join the revolution—la primera mariposa, the first Butterfly. Her husband Manolo is also a leader in the underground.
"They marveled at my self-control-and so did I. But by now in my life I should have known. Adversity was like a key in the lock for me."
María Teresa (Mate) Mirabal
María Teresa, young and naïve, communicates primarily through journal entries. She becomes aware of the underground after she questions Minerva about both the strange, coded language she uses and a crate of guns that is delivered to the house. She marries Leandro and both join the resistance.
"I've lost all interest in my studies. I just go to classes in order to keep my cover as a second-year architecture student. My true identity now is Mariposa (#2), waiting daily, hourly, for communications from up north."
Patria Mirabal
The eldest sister, Patria, toys with the idea of becoming a nun before falling in love at sixteen with Pedrito González, a handsome young farmer. She becomes involved with the underground after witnessing a battle in the mountains between government forces and anti-Trujillo rebels on the fourteenth of June, 1959.
"Coming down that mountain, I was a changed woman. I may have worn the same sweet face, but now I was carrying not just my child but that dead boy as well."
Dedé Mirabal
In the novel's opening chapter, Dedé's father foretells her future, saying, "She'll bury us all [. . .] in silk and pearls." Until after her sisters' deaths, Dedé obeys her husband Jaimito's orders not to get involved in the revolution.
"I see them all there in my memory, as still as statues, Mamá and Papá, and Minerva and Mate and Patria, and I'm thinking something is missing now. And I count them all twice before I realize—it's me, Dedé, it's me, the one who survived to tell the story."

Grapes were first cultivated in the hills surrounding Castiglione Tinella in the 1600s. Throughout history many different grape varieties were planted but Moscato d' Asti proved to be the perfect grape for this appellation. Luigi Saracco, the great grandfather of Paolo, began growing Moscato grapes in the early 1900s. With each generation the legacy and commitment to quality continues.
Paolo Saracco grew up in the vineyards and, even at an early age, had a desire to make a wine with the family name. Upon completion of his enological studies, Paolo began experimenting not only with new winemaking techniques, but also a more modern vineyard management style. The result has been consistent acclaim from the press, and more importantly, his loyal customers. View all Saracco Wines
About PiedmontView a map of Piedmont wineries (PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Woody Allen Gossip
Woody Allen gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Woody Allen made the same movie again
Woody Allen makes basically two movies: Annie Hall, and Crimes and Misdemeanors. When he's on his game, you get, well, Annie Hall and Crimes and Misdemeanors. When he's not, you get Magic in the Moonlight and The Curse of the Jade Scorpion. His latest movie—his forty-fifth, which means we should get sentimental about a milestone but ugh, this f*cking guy—is Irrational Man, and it's a watered down, sh*tty version of Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg—the indie-hipster version of Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper—are teaming up once again. The duo will star in an as yet untitled film written and directed by famed creepy person, Woody Allen, which will shoot later this year. This will mark the third time Stewart and Eisenberg have worked together, following Adventureland and American Ultra, and it's Eisenberg's second time working with Allen, world-renowned creepster. Full Story
Emma & Colin promote Magic In The Moonlight
247PapsTV/ Splash
Woody Allen is fascinated by magic. And now, apparently, Emma Stone. Because he's cast her in his next movie. But first… Magic In The Moonlight opens next week. Colin Firth plays a middle-aged man who meets a beautiful, young "seer" (is there any other kind in Woody's mind?) and tries to prove that she's full of sh-t but, naturally, ends up falling in love with her. Full Story
Emma & Joaquin
Emma Stone worked with Woody Allen last year on Magic In The Moonlight in France. Looks like he's found a new muse. Because she's now shooting another film with him, currently untitled, and this time in Rhode Island. How long has it been since he set a story in America? Wait. Never mind. Full Story
A war of words with Woody Allen

Who could possibly win? Aaron Sorkin would probably like to think he could, but I'd nominate someone like… Diablo Cody. Because when it comes to a war of words, written words, few people could take on Woody Allen. Have you read his response to Dylan Farrow? Click here Full Story

So you know about that Vanity Fair piece on Mia Farrow a few months ago. And Ronan Farrow's subsequent tweets during the Golden Globes about honouring Woody Allen. And then a week ago, an article was posted at The Daily Beast, written by Robert B Weide who shot a PBS documentary about Allen's work. Full Story
Lohan punks Woody, begs Anna
Wenn, Sharpshooter Images/Splash
Woody Allen agreed to meet Lindsay Lohan for dinner the other night in New York. The paps were there to shoot them on their way out. Of course. And who do you think texted them the location? As you know, the Met Gala is tonight. Rumour has it Lohan is desperate to attend. And desperate to find someone to dress her. Full Story
This won't get you work
Wenn, Jamie McCarthy/Jemal Countess/Getty
So...here's how Lindsay Lohan looked last night at the AMFAR Gala in New York. Remember, she is only 25 years old. And apparently still wants to play Victoria Gotti even though that sh-t was shut down a long time ago. You know, there was a time when her hair, it wasn't such a cheap mess, even her extensions.

Blonde Rachel in Paris
Seems like a good way to start the day after shouts - a blonde wavy Rachel McAdams shot with Owen Wilson in Paris last night on Woody Allen's new feature Midnight in Paris. After completing this film, Rachel should move into promotion for the upcoming Morning Glory with Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton. Full Story
Marion & Owen
Shooting Woody Allen's upcoming Midnight in Paris, the director's latest muse having moved on from London and Barcelona. It's easier for him to work in Europe now. And it's quite the cast. In addition to Marion Cotillard and Owen Wilson, the film will star Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody, Carla Bruni (yes, the French first lady), Rachel McAdams, and Michael Sheen. Full Story
Naomi & Woody
Saturday night in Cannes for the premiere of You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (positive reviews from 3 journalists I spoke with), Naomi Watts arrived on the carpet in pale pink Gucci and red lips. It was spectacular. Not sure if it's photographing as well as it was in person but in person, I promise you, breathtaking. Full Story

University acquires Southern culture film collection
More than 250 films and videotapes that capture practices and customs in the South, from snake handling to eating grits, have found a new home at the University of South Carolina.
The films and tapes, which will become part of the Moving Image Research Collections (MIRC), consist of independent films made from 1970 – 2005 and were housed at the S.C. Arts Commission until lack of funding and space forced the commission to find suitable space elsewhere.
"I immediately saw it as an ideal counterpoint to MIRC's rich holdings of regional home movies and local television news," said Mark Cooper, MIRC's interim director. "I knew we had to find a way to preserve the material as a source of inspiration for future generations of media makers."
The collection includes "It's Grits," by Stan Woodward, which documents the common thread that connects all people of the South across social, economic, political and racial boundaries. Its style of hand-held camera work was unheard of when it was released in 1980.
Other works:
- "Hallelujah Film," by Mark Henrikson, a four-minute reanimation of Eadweard Muybridge's still-photo studies of anatomy synchronized to music of Handel's Messiah;
- "People Who Take Up Serpents," by Gretchen Robinson, a documentary about snake handlers;
- "Charleston Home Movie," by Deanna Morse;
- "Maybe Next Week Sometime," by David Boatwright; and
- "Alabama Departure" by Peter Bundy and Bryan Elsom.
"Many of the films are personal visions of the South," said Susan Leonard, director of the commission's Media Arts Center. "Some of the films were literally shot from the hip using a Bolex camera; others used handmade animation techniques such as rotoscoping."
Cooper said he expects to have the collection completely cataloged by May 2011 and available to researchers.
The MIRC, a division of the university's libraries, began in 1980 with the donation of the Fox Movietone News Collection and is one of the largest public film archives in the United States. MIRC was able to accommodate the films because of its recent cold-storage facilities supported by USC's College of Arts and Sciences.

The need of Jehovah's blessing; restoring work
I have long hesitated, in reading Psalm 85, whether the first part referred to external deliverance and the grace shown in it, and the following to the causing the people to enter into the enjoyment of it by the restoration of their own souls; or, as we have seen is often the case, the statement of the great result as the theme of the psalm, and then going through the sorrows of the remnant and divine workings which led to this result. There will be a restoring work in the souls of the people after their outward deliverance. Nor do I now speak of this psalm with very great certainty on this point. On the whole, I am disposed to think that they look for their enjoyment of divine favour in it, as between themselves and God, when delivered from all their enemies, and shown to be forgiven by that deliverance. Thus the first three verses lay this ground, that God has been favourable to His land, and brought back the captivity of Jacob. This was the great public truth. But in verse 4 the restored people have need of other blessing in the reality of their own relationship with God. "Turn us, O God of our salvation." Jehovah was the God of their salvation; but they needed His blessing in the midst of the land. They would that His people should rejoice in Him. How true this is often of the soul which knows forgiveness! It looks for Jehovah's mercy and salvation, being thus restored to Him, and listens to know what Elohim Jehovah will speak; for they reckon on mercy. He will speak peace to His people their public character and to His saints the remnant who are to enjoy it. Faith has then the certainty in every way that His salvation is nigh them that fear Him, that the glory of Jehovah may dwell in the land.
Mercy and truth, righteousness and peace, the divine principles of establishment of blessing
The last verses celebrate, in remarkable terms, the divine principles on which their blessings are then established. God's mercy and truth had now met. His promises, always true, had now been fulfilled by mercy. It is to be remarked that in the psalms mercy always precedes righteousness and truth. For Israel had forfeited all title to promise in rejecting the Lord had come under full guilt had no righteousness on which to lean had been concluded in unbelief, that they also might be objects of mere mercy. But then through Christ's work these promises would now be fulfilled, and mercy and truth met. But more than this. Jehovah was their righteousness, through grace; and hence that righteousness was peace for them; and that which in judgment would have been their ruin, was in grace their peace righteousness and peace kissed each other. I need hardly say how true these great principles are for any sinner for yet better and heavenly blessings; here they are applied to earthly ones. Truth shall spring out of the earth (that is, the full fruit and effect of God's truth and faithfulness shall be manifest in blessings, full blessings, on the earth). But it was not by a righteousness that man had wrought legally here below. Righteousness looked down from heaven. It was God's righteousness, Jehovah their righteousness. But this made it stable. Jehovah gives that which is good, and the land is blessed. Righteousness traces the path of blessing for Jehovah and Himself in the land His own no doubt. Still His rule shall be so characterised. A king shall reign in righteousness" no more oppression. Justice is no longer fallen in the streets, as Isaiah 59: 14 speaks; judgment is returned to it, and the government has this character. "And the fruit of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever." This last, indeed, is practical; but it is the result of righteousness having looked down from heaven, yea, of its being established on the earth (compare Psalm 72: 1-7, where this state is described).Synopsis by John Darby

Korn earns spot on Hollywood's RockWalk
Korn frontman Jonathan Davis says the first word that comes to mind when he thinks about his band's new spot on the RockWalk is "wow."
The nu metal vets will be inducted into the Guitar Center's Historic RockWalk today in Hollywood. Davis says it's hard to express just how big an honor it is, especially as he looks at the other names along the famous sidewalk.
Guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer agrees. He says reaching this point after starting out as "five guys in a garage with a dream" is "truly humbling."
Korn's RockWalk induction comes on the same day they release their eleventh studio album, The Paradigm Shift. The record is their first with founding guitarist Brian "Head" Welch since 2003.

Arts & Culture, Our Daily Correspondent
One Human FamilyBy Sadie Stein
I have never been one to moon over resort collections or sigh enviously over my friends' sun-drenched Instagram photos. The truth is, I dislike the beach and sort of enjoy the misery of living through an unrelieved winter; it makes spring that much sweeter and, as the Byrds told us, for everything there is a season, etcetera, etcetera.
Nevertheless, lured by cheap rates and the promise of a haunted local doll named Robert, a few winters ago, my best friend and I decided to take a brief trip to Key West. We rented bicycles, visited the six-toed cats at the Hemingway House, posed with the Sponge Man, avoided Duval Street and the Parrot-heads eager to show female visitors around the "Conch republic," and took a "fruit tour." This involved having to pedal away really fast whenever a property owner approached, and culminated in our guide playing "Strangers in the Night" on, yes, a conch shell. A gentleman in a bar band told us that the island's official philosophy is "One Human Family."
At a bookstore near our guesthouse, I picked up a book from the "Local Interest" section called Undying Love: The True Story of a Passion That Defied Death, by Ben Harrison. And I read it obsessively. When I think of Key West, it's not of sunsets or Margaritaville or Tennessee Williams. It's of Carl Tanzler and his obsession with a dead woman. Read More

I found the way to solve this issue, but people arranging the update packages do have some work to do
It seems that doing the upgrade to 2.6.34 the firmware for the ref. wireless adapter is lost in /lib/firmware.
Cue came to me from the post of an italian colleague:
Then, in order to have it translated into english with some more detailed instructions for newby people as I am, let me put here the exact things to be done:
Download the firmware from the official site:
Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Driver Firmware (in my case the file was ipw2200-fw-3.1.gz)
Then, it has to be uncompressed:
tar xzvf ipw2200-fw-3.1.gz
Last step is to copy all those files in directory ipw2200-fw-3.1 to /lib/firmware/
You can test and check it doing
rmmod ipw2200
modprobe ipw2200
And our old eth1 should be again there !!!!
Again, the update packages developpers should do some work to avoid the ref. firmware to be lost.

there was some waves today almostt shoulder high on sets afterdark here in oc
why ya'll worryin bout the waves? come on now, lets not worry...i bet i could make a few waves if i convinced my big chocolate wife to jump all up in dat ocean. haha ya know what im sayin
ha yea it was actually really fun and the biggest its been in like 3 weeks hah man i wish your chocolate wife could make waves in me water bed hah i likem sweet
damn future looks like crap now, but looks like there is a small swell in the water here in jersey enough to get wet at low later i suppose
uhhh, well, lets just say im crossin everythin that's crossable but again, the wave gods will get angry and take this gift away from us if u hype it up too much. So stop talkin about every swell that shows up and watch ur surf movies and read ur mags.


text: Dunleavy? Are you high? That dude is God Awful. As for Sloan I heard he wasn't interested in the first place. Personally I can live with the D'Antoni hire because of what he did with Nash during his tenure in Phoenix. What pisses me off is that reports show that Phil Jackson wanted PART OWNERSHIP of the Lakers, I'm sorry but Jim, Jerry, and Mitch pulled the right card here. You don't sell the farm for a guy to come back in a limited HC role for 2 years. If anyone actually was given part ownership for what he's done with this club, it's Jerry West. And I wanted Phil Jackson back as much as the next person, but somethings gotta give. I'm just frustrated that we burned our bridges with Brian Shaw as well.

Eliza - from Laredo, TX
Always follow directions for the cake mix you are using – the mix was developed using ingredients called for on the box. If the instructions say water, you will get your best cake texture and flavor if you use water. The added fat and natural sugars in milk can alter the texture of your cake mix. Unless the instructions say cold or hot water, room temperature, or water directly from the tap (warm, not too hot or too cold) is what you should use.

GSA's National Antenna Program Wins Vice President Al Gore's Hammer AwardAgency's National Antenna Program Fosters Innovation and Saves Tax Dollars, Showing Government Can Work Better and Cost Less
January 13, 1999
Contact: April Kaufman
(202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. General Services Administration was awarded Vice President Al Gore's Hammer Award this morning for the agency's National Antenna Program, which uses innovative efforts to provide the wireless communications industry with antenna sites on top of federal buildings and has earned over $1.1 million that helps maintain America's public buildings.
Under its National Antenna Program, GSA has signed leases with industry to place new mobile personal communications antennas on the rooftops of 72 government-owned buildings. While returning needed dollars back to the government, the program also helps industry provide improved service to the rapidly growing number of personal communications services customers.
Telecommunications experts predict that more than 100,000 new sites will be required for mobile personal communications antennas by the year 2000. GSA Administrator David J. Barram said that "GSA is partnering with industry to help to fill the demand for sites with our National Antenna Program, which brings out the best instincts in government by creating a public-private partnership that is innovative, saves tax dollars and helps foster improvements in the telecommunications industry."
"GSA's National Antenna Program is truly a government reinvention success story," said Janice Warden, Assistant Director for the National Partnership for Reinventing Government (NPR), as she presented the Hammer Award to GSA. "In response to Vice President Gore's challenge, you have shown that government can work better and cost less. GSA has cut red tape, provided an unprecedented lease turnaround time, established a nationwide network of antenna leasing specialists and has brought over $1.1 million dollars in revenues back to the taxpayers. And, most importantly, you have enhanced the infrastructure of America's Information Superhighway."
The program offers industry several advantages. First, GSA's inventory of 1,900 government-owned facilities provides nationwide sites to lease to qualified providers and carriers. Located in nearly every metropolitan area, most facilities have 24-hour security, minimizing the threat of vandalism or theft. In addition, GSA's guidelines for antenna siting and lease contracts have been streamlined to reduce time and paperwork and to satisfy industry needs quickly, often in as little as 14 days. Finally, GSA's national network of highly-trained antenna leasing specialists can easily coordinate antenna-siting needs with qualified providers.
Launched in 1989 with four television media lessees atop the Old Post Office Tower in downtown Washington, GSA's National Antenna Program received a boost in 1995, when President Clinton signed an Executive Memorandum directing federal agencies to assist the wireless communications industry in locating and securing sites for antennas. Moreover, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 encouraged the rapid deployment of new telecommunications technologies nationally.
The program is part of GSA's Retail Tenant Services Center, which leases space to private firms for commercial use in federal property controlled by GSA. Examples include leasing space for retail stores, restaurants, rooftop antennas, parking, financial services, office space and pay telephones.
Paul Chistolini, Deputy Commissioner for the GSA's Public Buildings Service, congratulated each team member for their pioneering efforts. "The Antenna program has come a long way," said Chistolini. "Because of the efforts of GSA experts, over $1.1 million dollars are being collected each year from otherwise unused rooftop space."

When I learned recently that I would need cataract surgery, I researched New York City hospital ratings from three well-known sponsors: US News & World Report, the federal government's Hospital Compare and the Leapfrog Group. After writing about what I discovered [1], I wondered if perhaps a few measures might offer a clue or two about how to better honcho some of my care, like the one that asks hospital patients if a nurse explained medications given to them. Since many ratings schemes rely on patient satisfaction data collected by the government, I decided to explore further, still hoping to uncover the best facility for my surgery.
The Hospital Compare site — an investment of millions of public dollars — offers many ways to judge how happy patients have been with their hospital experience. You can learn whether doctors and nurses communicate well, if the area around a patient room is noisy at night, if the bathrooms are always clean and the percentage of patients who would rate their hospital 9 or 10 on a 10-point scale. Should consumers rely on these numbers? What do they say and don't say?
I posed these questions to Mark Schlesinger, a professor of public health at Yale who researches medical consumerism and health quality measurement. I also wanted to know what satisfaction measures were specifically focused on eye surgery. "They don't exist," Schlesinger said and went on to explain that this was partly due to some ongoing tension among researchers.

did anyone tested this install method?
NOTE: Since VMware Workstation is not a cheap software, I did some researching and recreated this tutorial with VirtualBox, which is free (but slower, in my experience). You can follow that tutorial here: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...irtualbox.html
This tutorial is great for those of us who have an old laptop that can't boot from a DVD/USB, or just for those who would like to be able to watch a movie, listen to some music, etc... while installing BT4 to the hard drive.
This was not my idea, I followed what bender01101 shared in his post. I just wanted to make this "official".
HowTo: Install BT4 Dual Boot using VMware Workstation
Step 1: Resize Windows partition
In order to follow this tutorial, I advise to resize the windows partition first, freeing some space for your BackTrack installation.
I've used a freeware named EASEUS Partition Master - Home Edition, you can use another program if you like or, in case you have windows Vista/7, the disk manager included with this versions.
Step 2: Create the Virtual Machine
Open VMWare Workstation and create a new virtual machine (File>New...>Virtual Machine...)
Select "Custom (advanced)" and then hit "Next >" twice.
Select "Installer disc image file (iso):" and browse for the bt4-final iso. Hit "Next >".
Select Linux then choose Ubuntu from the dropdown menu. Hit "Next >" twice.
Choose processors as you like/need > "Next >"
Choose amount of RAM as you like > "Next >" (x3)
Select the option "Use a physical disk", so that VMware can access and install BT4 to the disk.
Click "Next >", select "PhysicalDrive0" and "Use entire disk". Click "Next >" twice, then finish.
Step 3: Power on your virtual machine
ATTENTION!!! Right after you power on the machine, you have to click on the VMWare window until the guest captures the mouse and then click "esc" quickly, so that you can select where to boot from. Otherwise it will try to boot windows, which is already our host. Select to boot from the CD/DVD and press enter.
Step 4: Install BackTrack
Start BT4 and install. When you reach the page where the installer asks how do you want to partition the disk, select "Manual". Select the free space and create a new partition.
We will first create the swap partition, so enter the desired size for the partition and change the filesystem to swap. Then create your BT4 partition, enter the desired partition size, leave the filesystem as Ext3 and select "/" as mount point.
BT4 is ready to install now. You can now surf the web, listen to some music, watch videos,... while you wait for the installation to finish. Once it's done, close VMWare and reboot your computer. Grub will appear, hopefully, and you can boot into BackTrack 4 and Windows.

did anyone tested this install method?
Now speaking seriously: yes, I tested it and as it seems, bender01101 has tested it too. It worked pretty well for me, like a normal installation. After installation, you can also boot your BT4 installation on disk using VMWare, while using windows. Which is great because sometimes I just want to add a package I'm reading about or test something quickly and I don't want to waste time rebooting my machine, doing what I have to do, and rebooting again to get back to windows.
But, like archangel.amael said, it's better if you test it by yourself, and post here your results so that others can know if it works or not, and in this last case, for me to know what went wrong and update the tutorial accordingly.

Snayler: ok then. I`ll give it a try. Thanks for answering so fast.
Snayler, thank you and to the rest on this post/thread, I will give this a try tonight and give it a go. I have that the vmware workstation has a 3 day trial period. I will give it a try and go from there. As far as space go, I have an extra hdd (60GB) that I upgraded to 180GB and I also have a 20GB that I will use as an external hdd when I can get the enclosure. But for this I will stand up and take a shot.

Another one of my fav for tech enhanced:
"There is many things that you can undo, a pregnant woman is not one of them" - my father, the paramedic
Tested it and is did not perform well. The vmware station installed correctly and apparently since I have a 256mb Ram card installed but the BIOS is only allowing 192mb of ram to be seen. The workstation is wanting me to use more physical memory than what is there. So for no luck, but I will keep trying. Till then.....no light bulb yet.
i tried using vmware and followed the exact same steps but on rebooting grub doesnt show up but my win7hp boots up....what could be the problem?
i also tried dual boot by booting from liveDVD but there is a problem with the screen config. any option i choose for the os selection gives me the same error.
after entering startx all of them say: screen(s) found but none have a usable configiuration
fatal error
no screens found
what should i do?
PS.i have a 15inch 720p screen if that matters
has anybody found out by doing this will make aircrack-ng run a little bit faster or the whole BT4 OS itself, Vs running it with Vmware Workstation ?
Asking a such question due to not having any free space to test this on. If this is so, then I can go ahead and delete my vmware HD and switch to this method.
I have a AMD dual Core 2.10 GHz with 6GB RAM. Running BT4 Vmware 7.x Install (2GB RAM). And I get up to 540.00 k/s. 10:00Hrs to run a 22,000,000 password list.
Wiffy-Auto-Cracker - was the best thing that ever happen to me. :) Wo0oT :)

Just to clarify, booting windows and using BT4 inside the VM created in this tutorial will be the same as running a normal VM, in terms of speed.

LAS VEGAS -- Planners and the sponsoring trade associations of the Amusement Expo have announced that the third and final day of the 2013 exhibit, which is March 22, will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., rather than extending to the customary 4 p.m. close.
The show is sponsored by the Amusement and Music Operators Association and the American Amusement Machine Association, and it collocates with the annual National Bulk Vendors Association's show.
The third day traditionally has the lightest traffic. Officials said the change will be "more productive for exhibitors and attendees" because it enables them to get home -- and return to work sooner and eliminate an additional night's stay.
In early October, AMOA president Andy Shaffer advised Vending Times that another move was under consideration at that time to make the third day of the show more worthwhile for exhibitors by offering a reduced-rate, one-day pass to encourage more small operators in California to make the trip. The adoption of shorter Friday hours appears to make that move less likely. | SEE STORY

First tests in. Tested with iPod Touch 5G on 6.1.2 no jailbreak.
Used stifle stand to hide newstand in a folder. This allows me to open that folder, click newstand which triggers a respring with no jailbreak required.
1: Usage stats went from 4 minutes standby 1 minute usage to - standby and -usage after the respring. Proof that the jailbreak is not the cause of the battery usage details getting wiped out after a respring.
2: Interestingly the little dimming bug we have found when respringing also happened while respringing on this non-jailbroken device. So that is another "bug" we can say is not caused by the jailbreak.
Working on the older firmware resprings now, going is SLOW with them lol, I don't know how we used to use these old devices sometimes.
Results for iPhone 2G:
Jailbroken on 3.1.3. Only winterboard installed.
Before winterboard respring: Usage was normal, showed a few minutes.
After respring: Usage stats both read -
So on 3.1.3 this same battery usage "bug" is present.
Results for iPhone 3G:
jailbroken on 4.2.1 only winterboard installed.
Before respring battery usage stats normal, showed a few minutes
After respring battery usage stats read -
So on 4.2.1 the same battery usage "bug" is present.
I will say that on 3.1.3 I tried a sbsettings respring first and the usage stats were not affected. So this leads me to not all resprings are created equally. There are probably a few different methods of respringing that has been used over the years, obviously at least one of these cause battery usage to crap out. What could explain why you didn't see this "bug" until recently is Saurik may have changed the method Winterboard uses to respring, and many others may have followed suit. All I know is using the winterboard respring affects the battery percentage the same on firmwares 3.1.3 - 6.1.2.
Found this: http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/Respring
It's a little outdated (2010) but you can see 2 different methods of respringing here. Each could affect things differently. Now there may be more than just these 2 methods. So what we need to figure out is which methods of respring cause the usage "bug" and which don't. And if simply changing the ones that do is possible or not or are they using that method of respringing for a reason.
And are you noticing that simple scrolling up and down in a window like the settings menu is just jittery itself as wel after being jailbroken?
And why is it that after I've been on the phone for a while when I take the phone off my face and try to hang up the hangup button doesn't work at all. It's like the whole screen is dead. I've experienced that through two jailbreaks now. Same thing happened in 5.1.1 and on a different phone. So I know it's iOS related.
That brightness glitch happened on my iPod touch stock after the respring. I was surprised by that. It looks like it is more changes apple has made then what the jailbreak devs have done that is causing these issues. I guess the devs will just have to find ways to compensate for what apple has done. Or we just live with it. Been way worse in the past. I remember the 1.1.2 jailbreak, a bug in apples handling of phone numbers caused the phone app to crash when trying to dial a number if you Weren't using the phone on a official carrier. That was a case of a jailbreak that allowed people to actually fix an issue that apple had itself with the iPhone. I had a real tough time getting the number format fixed for the phone app just so I could use my phone. A little brightness and usage bug seems pretty trivial compared to that lol.
I haven't noticed any jitteryness in the settings app. I probably don't have as many things installed as you though.
That phone hanging thing after a call has happened to me a few times over the years with different phones, even when not jail broken. Just a phone app bug.
@[email protected],
You guys crack me up. I don't understand half the stuff you're talking about but am enjoying the conversation.
I wish their was a fix for the battery usage disappearing.
So...anyone using any battery saving apps like BatteryDoctorPro or Battery Magic when charging their phones? I was but hadn't noticed anything different. I recently turned off Locations until I need it and changed getting email from fetch to manual and I noticed some improvement. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get any battery usage readings after charging my phone even without any respring. I charged to 100% around 4pm yesterday and did not have to respring since then. At around 7:00 am this morning I check the battery usage and nothing shows.
I've been searching Cydia and the AppStore to see if there is some third party app that will show the same usage information as the stock settings but I haven't found any. Some even show the battery temperature but nothing like "since the last charge".
Any idea if re-jailbreaking would at least show some information without a respring? My settings seem to be frozen in time. Its kind of funny that what I consider a simple statistic can be fixed or found in third party battery app.

Vocational rehabilitation can take a variety of forms. It might mean that your employer makes a minor change in your job situation so that you can return to work in spite of some continuing disability. It might mean that a vocational rehabilitation counselor works with your employer to help you return to the same job or a similar job with the same employer. If it is not possible for you to return to work with your former employer, the vocational rehabilitation counselor may help you find suitable employment or, if indicated, locate training opportunities.
Vocational services may include vocational evaluations, aptitude and interest testing, GED test preparation and informative workshops.
The Rhode Island Workers' Compensation Law provides for vocational restorative and re-employment services for workers who were injured on the job.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - The Dodgers' Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw haven't played like the stars they are in spring training, but both are wise enough beyond their combined 52 years to not dwell on results in March.
Neither player sounded like a man with a monkey off his back Sunday, even if Kershaw didn't allow an earned run in five innings and Kemp went 2 for 2 with an RBI single against the Colorado Rockies.
Kershaw, who had allowed eight earned runs in eight innings prior to Sunday's start, offered a half-hearted "sure" when asked if he needed that kind of a performance.
"I'm just honest," he said. "I call it like I see it. Everybody wants to do well whether it's spring training or not."
Kershaw conceded to having "not a confident feeling" after his last outing against the San Diego Padres. In that game, he allowed seven hits and four earned runs in three innings.
Sunday seemed more like a real Kershaw start. He got to pitch five innings, the longest outing for any Dodgers pitcher this spring. With both teams abandoning the designated hitter, Kershaw also got to bat for the first time all spring and delivered an RBI single in two at-bats.
The Rockies' lineup featured potentially half of their expected opening-day group, but not stars Carlos Gonzalez, Troy Tulowitzki and Todd Helton.
Kershaw allowed just two hits and struck out two. Dexter Fowler scored the Rockies' only run off Kershaw on an error in the first inning.
Fowler walked to lead off the game, one of three free passes Kershaw issued.
"I'm still not throwing a lot of breaking balls for strikes," he said, "but my fastball's better."
Kemp got his first hit in his 12th spring training at-bat, a line-drive single in the first inning off Jeff Francis. The veteran left-hander walked Kemp in the third inning, and Kemp greeted right-hander Parker Frazier with a single that drove in Dee Gordon.
"It's not all the way where it needs to be, but that was way better," Kemp said of his rhythm at the plate.
Sunday's crowd at Salt River Fields was the largest to attend a Dodgers game this spring - 12,287, a sellout - but not enough to get Kemp's adrenaline to Dodger Stadium levels. He also noted his rhythm always is off at the beginning of spring training, offseason shoulder surgery or not.
"I'm not panicking at all," he said. "This is how spring training is."
Also ...
Four pitchers on the Dodgers' 40-man roster threw in a `B' game against the Cincinnati Reds. Matt Magill threw three shutout innings to record the win. He allowed two hits, walked one and struck out three in a lineup of mostly minor leaguers. ... Stephen Fife and Stephen Ames threw one scoreless inning each. Javy Guerra lasted two-thirds of an inning and allowed two hits, walked two, struck out one and allowed two earned runs. ... Guerra sustained a minor groin injury warming up prior to the game, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said, and will be re-evaluated today. ... Non-roster invitee Matt Palmer will have arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks. The right-hander had allowed nine hits and walked five batters in five Cactus League innings. Mattingly said he injured the knee while walking.

"A fierce opponent of Darwinism, Yahya takes the credit for defeating the theory of evolution. [Yahya:] 'First, we offered Darwinists around the world 100 million fossils, which prove that this world came into being as a result of God"s creationism and not because of evolution. Second, Darwin wrote in his books that people have to find transitional forms to prove the theory of evolution, but nobody has been able to find a single transitional form. Third, Darwinists claim that the first cell came into being as a coincidence. But it is impossible for even a single protein to be formed by chance. Fourth, we have proved that the skulls that were displayed as evidence of evolution are fake. Darwinism cannot explain how we can see or hear or sense with the support of our brain.'
Polls conducted by newspapers in Germany, France, Switzerland and Denmark showed that 85-90 percent of Europeans no longer believed in the theory of evolution."

CLICK HERE to buy "The Way" ft. Mac Miller on iTunes
Ariana Grande is a triple threat. The 19-year-old actress/singer/dancer is perhaps best known as Cat Valentine, the character she plays on Nickelodeon's 'Victorious.' (Cat recently spawned her own spinoff, 'Sam & Cat,' which also features Sam from 'iCarly').
But Ariana Grande will soon be remembered for more than the role she plays onscreen: she'll be recognized for her incredible voice. Grande's debut single, "The Way" features Mac Miller and is available on iTunes now. The song went #1 on iTunes a mere 7 hours after being released.

White House claims IRS computer crash story is really true
White House spokesman Josh Earnest stonewalled reporters Monday, seeking an explanation for the administration's Friday-night claim that a computer crash wiped out all the emails between IRS chief Lois Lerner and other agencies, including the White House.
"You've never heard of a computer crashing before?" Earnest told a reporter during a brief press gaggle while flying back to D.C. from President Barack Obama's fundraising trip to California.
"A good faith effort has been made" to find the missing emails, he said.
Skepticism about the administration's claim is "indicative of the kinds of conspiracy that are propagated around this story," Earnest scoffed.
The claimed loss of emails have evoked much ridicule from GOP leaders, who argue that normal computer networks store backups of emails. "Ridiculous. #WH has to get serious," reads a tweet from Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican Party.
From 2010 onward, Obama's IRS officials used their tax power to cripple fundraising and advocacy at many Republican-leaning tea party groups before the 2012 election.
IRS official Lois Lerner played a central role in the suppression effort, but has refused to explain how the scheme began, and if the White House was involved.
Administration officials promised to send copies of Lerner's emails to House GOP investigators. But they now say they have no copies of her messages to and from senior officials in other agencies, because her computer crashed.

There have been many during this season that have questioned Gardenhire's ability as a manager. Some have gone as far as to say that Gardenhire should be fired.
Gardenhire's regular season resume is very impressive. In his first nine seasons as manager he has guided the Twins to six division crowns. There could have been a seventh title if the Twins could have found a way to win Game 163 in 2008. He has had his team in position to win the division in 78% of the seasons he has been manager. The only season he has had a losing record was 2007. He has been runner up for manager of the year multiple times and he has a good shot to win the award this season. That is quite a run in the regular season.
One of the major problems for Gardenhire has been his lack of postseason success. In his first season with the team he took the Twins to the ALCS. Other than that the Twins have trounced in the ALDS. Since that 2002 season the Twins have only won two playoff games. Both in a stadium that no longer exists, the original Yankee Stadium.
So the question remains, is Ron Gardenhire the right manager for the Minnesota Twins?
The Top Reasons to keep Ron Gardenhire:
1. He leads the team to the playoffs almost every season.
There is only one way to win the World Series and that is to be in the playoffs. Gardenhire's results speak for themselves. He can get the Twins into the postseason tournament almost every season. It doesn't matter who he has for pitchers, infields, or outfielders. The Twins are going to be in the playoffs or have themselves in position to make it.
2. He is a very player friendly coach.
Twins players, for the most part, tend to get along with and respect Ron Gardenhire. Gardenhire has dealt with all of the players that have been difficult to deal with, even some hot headed players in the past. His ability to manage personalities and lead them to success on the field has been one of the best in the American League over the past decade.
3. He fits with the style of play that the Twins have developed successfully over the years.
The Twins have tended to follow the same philosophy as the team has been winning division titles. Defense has been more important than offense. Gardenhire has shown that he will play higher caliber defensive players over players with stronger offensive stats that are weaker defensively. Also having pitchers throw strikes is another philosophy that has succeeded. Gardenhire and his coaches have made lower level pitchers succeed because they throw the ball over the plate and make the batter make the mistake.
The Top Reasons to fire Ron Gardenhire:
1. He can't win in the playoffs.
This is very simple. The Twins haven't been able to win a World Series while he has been manager. They have had teams that were capable of being champions but they have all fallen short of that goal. The Twins have made the playoffs time and time again. It is time to make a statement that says we are not satisfied with what we have done. We want more.
2. His in game management is questionable.
Throughout the season there are always questionable decisions that a manager makes. In the postseason those mistakes are magnified even more. One example from Game 1 of the ALDS is written about here at CBS SportsLine (For change's sake, Gardenhire should have changed pitcher). Many argued that his line-up needed a change for Game 3 of the ALDS. His only change was to move Jason Kubel up in the batting order. That plan failed miserably with Kubel going 0-4.
3. He doesn't seem to be able to fire up his players.
The team has looked defeated when the get behind. He often gets thrown out of games to fire up the team but even that doesn't work sometimes because he does it so often. The team looks scared in the playoffs. Scared to make a mistake, scared to make a play, and scared to find a way to win. That falls back on the manager and his ability to motivate his players.
My Take on Ron Gardenhire:The Twins have already said that Ron Gardenhire will be manager of their team for years to come. I think that this is the right decision. Gardenhire continues to lead the team to the playoffs almost every season. The only way to win the World Series is to make the playoffs. Once you reach the playoffs anything can happen. Look at the Rays and Rangers series that ended last night. The Rays were the number one seed entering the AL Playoffs and they got knocked out in the first round. A perfect example of how anything can happen in the playoffs.
Gardenhire's coaching style has been very conducive to the players that have come through the Twins organization. There have been many players that have succeeded while with the Twins and then gone on to be less successful in other settings. This is a direct reflection of the style of play that the manager has used. Defense and pitching have been the strong point for the Twins during Gardenhire's years at the helm. They will continue to be important as the Twins go forward with Gardenhire

42 U.S. Code § 14043e - Findings
§ 14043e.
FindingsCongress finds that:
There is a strong link between domestic violence and homelessness. Among cities surveyed, 44 percent identified domestic violence as a primary cause of homelessness.
Ninety-two percent of homeless women have experienced severe physical or sexual abuse at some point in their lives. Of all homeless women and children, 60 percent had been abused by age 12, and 63 percent have been victims of intimate partner violence as adults.
Women and families across the country are being discriminated against, denied access to, and even evicted from public and subsidized housing because of their status as victims of domestic violence.
A recent survey of legal service providers around the country found that these providers have responded to almost 150 documented eviction cases in the last year alone where the tenant was evicted because of the domestic violence crimes committed against her. In addition, nearly 100 clients were denied housing because of their status as victims of domestic violence.
Women who leave their abusers frequently lack adequate emergency shelter options. The lack of adequate emergency options for victims presents a serious threat to their safety and the safety of their children. Requests for emergency shelter by homeless women with children increased by 78 percent of United States cities surveyed in 2004. In the same year, 32 percent of the requests for shelter by homeless families went unmet due to the lack of available emergency shelter beds.
The average stay at an emergency shelter is 60 days, while the average length of time it takes a homeless family to secure housing is 6 to 10 months.
Victims of domestic violence often return to abusive partners because they cannot find long-term housing.
There are not enough Federal housing rent vouchers available to accommodate the number of people in need of long-term housing. Some people remain on the waiting list for Federal housing rent vouchers for years, while some lists are closed.
Transitional housing resources and services provide an essential continuum between emergency shelter provision and independent living. A majority of women in transitional housing programs stated that had these programs not existed, they would have likely gone back to abusive partners.
Because abusers frequently manipulate finances in an effort to control their partners, victims often lack steady income, credit history, landlord references, and a current address, all of which are necessary to obtain long-term permanent housing.
Victims of domestic violence in rural areas face additional barriers, challenges, and unique circumstances, such as geographical isolation, poverty, lack of public transportation systems, shortages of health care providers, under-insurance or lack of health insurance, difficulty ensuring confidentiality in small communities, and decreased access to many resources (such as advanced education, job opportunities, and adequate childcare).
Congress and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development have recognized in recent years that families experiencing domestic violence have unique needs that should be addressed by those administering the Federal housing programs.
