HHS, USDA and the Food Industry Welcomes New Guidelines
Guidelines Provide Tools for Companies Aiding Government Outbreak Responders
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack this week commended the Council to Improve Foodborne Outbreak Response (CIFOR) for the new CIFOR Foodborne Illness Response Guidelines for Owners, Operators and Managers of Food Establishments.
These guidelines were developed by an ongoing public/private partnership consisting of experts from all levels of government and the food industry. The purpose of the guidelines is to help outline, clarify and explain the recommended role for retail food establishment owners, operators and managers in a foodborne illness outbreak investigation and what they can expect after being notified of an outbreak. The guidelines also provide a step-by-step approach that companies can take during the different phases of an outbreak investigation, including preparing an establishment to respond should an outbreak occur, identifying signs of a potential outbreak, helping government officials to investigate an outbreak and following up after an outbreak investigation.
"These CIFOR guidelines offer a clear pathway to success in industry's and government's efforts to ensure that the foods we produce and regulate are safe to eat," said U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "Both industry and government have a shared responsibility for the safety of our nation's food supply. By outlining and clarifying specific roles and responsibilities during each outbreak, we develop greater trust and accountability among stakeholders and consumers."
CIFOR is a multidisciplinary collaboration that includes representatives of local, state and federal agencies with expertise in the fields of epidemiology, environmental health and laboratory science as well as representatives from the food industry who are active members of the standing CIFOR Industry Workgroup. This collaboration, chaired by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists and the National Association of County and City Health Officials, was organized to improve methods at the local, state and federal levels to detect, investigate, control and prevent foodborne disease outbreaks. The federal agencies represented on CIFOR include USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service and HHS's Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Food Marketing Institute President and CEO Leslie G. Sarasin, said, "Food safety is core to our principles in the food retail industry, and critical to ensuring the efficacy of our businesses. The CIFOR Industry Guidelines demonstrate collaboration between industry and public health professionals to respond more efficiently to the health needs of consumers. FMI is pleased to be part of the partnership."

FSIS Conducts Food Defense Plan Survey
FSIS will conduct its eight annual Food Defense Plan Survey during the month of August 2013 to determine how many FSIS-regulated processed egg products plants, meat and poultry slaughter and processing establishments, and official import inspection establishments have voluntarily adopted a functional food defense plan.
Results from the 2012 survey indicated that approximately 77 percent of all plants have adopted plans. While this represents an increase from prior years, FSIS has established an agency performance goal for 2015 to have at least 90 percent of establishments with a functional plan.

After downloading bt4-final.iso, md5 checksumming it, booting the KDE desktop and using the install.sh provided on the desktop, I'm attempting to install Backtrack 4 Final to my Macbook 2,1 hard drive on sda5. I want to install the grub bootloader to sda5 as well, since want to retain my current rEFIt bootloader. So far, doing this on sda3 with Ubuntu 10.04 works great, but Backtrack fails every time at the grub install step.

sda6: 2406mb swap
I configured the partitioner to load sda3 as '/Ubuntu', sda4 as '/WinXPPro' and sda5 as '/'.
Then I configured the boot loader to be installed on '/dev/sda5', because I want to retain my current bootloader setup.

Harris, Mejia help Giants crush Nuts
Slugger extends home run streak, top prospect almost perfect
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | April 27, 2013 10:43 PM ET
Devin Harris continued one hot streak on Saturday night. The Giants are hoping that Adalberto Mejia started another.
Harris homered for the fourth straight game and Mejia retired the first 15 batters of the game as Class A Advanced San Jose rolled to a 10-0 pounding of the Modesto Nuts at John Thurman Field.
Harris went 2-for-4 with four RBIs, delivering a run-scoring single in the first inning, slugging a two-run homer in the third and lifting a sacrifice fly in the fourth.
"Basically, you've got a guy [Ben Alsup] on the mound who's been coming in the whole game throwing sinkerballs and I kind of figured with a man on first he'd want me to roll over on a pitch," Harris said. "And I looked in and got a good barrel on it."
During his home run streak, the 25-year-old outfielder has gone deep five times and driven in 13 runs. He's batting .286, leads the California League with 24 RBIs and ranks second with seven homers.
"I've just been trying to get into a good position to hit mentally and get my foot down at the right time because I never want to rush," the North Carolina native said. "I haven't been trying too much to hit [home runs], just getting my foot down early and reacting to what I see.
"The guys that have been hitting in front of me having been doing a good job of getting on base. A lot of the guys on base are guys that are base-stealing threats and they can very easily cause the pitchers to make mistakes."
Mejia, the Giants' No. 18 prospect, did not allow a baserunner until Harold Riggins singled leading off the sixth inning. He got Tyler Crousset to hit into a double play before walking Niko Gallego and getting Tyler Massey to fly out on his final pitch.
"He really attacked the hitters," San Jose pitching coach Mike Couchee said. "He located the ball extremely well and was efficient, which allowed him to get into the sixth inning. He had a really good sinkerball working tonight and induced a bunch a ground balls, which allowed him to stay out there."
Mejia, who fanned five, improved to 2-0 while lowering his ERA to 4.19 in his best start of the season.
"He was more efficient," Couchee said. "He kept the ball in the zone and attacked hitters better than he had in the past. I think the biggest thing was he tried to attack the hitters and tried to force contact early in the at-bats, which he did well."
Mejia twice was named South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Week last season at Class A Augusta, going 10-7 with a 3.97 ERA in 30 games, including 14 starts. He signed with San Francisco as a non-drafted free agent in February 2011.
Kelvin Marte struck out two and allowed two hits over two innings before Hunter Strickland pitched around a hit in the ninth to close out the Giants' second shutout of the season.
Ryan Cavan, who leads the league with 35 hits, went 3-for-6 with three runs scored for San Jose.

Ship Weight:0.30 Better Botanicals - Kokum Care Conditioner - 8 oz. (236 ml) Better Botanicals Kokum Care Conditioner is a deep conditioner for dry, brittle hair is a potent blend of rejuvenating essential fatty acids (EFAs), circulation-boosting herbs and strengthening amino acids. With Kokum butter, aloe, calendula, rosemary, wheat protein and panthenol. Use Better Botanicals Conditioner daily to restore vibrant vitality and silky manageability. A great partner to Better Botanicals Neem Care Shampoo. Provides restorative care for dry, damaged hair Restores vibrancy and silky luster Better Botanicals Frequently Asked Questions How do you choose which herbs to use?The herbs are chosen because they have a long history of successful use in skin and hair care: Better Botanicals' products are based on "Ayurveda." It is the world's oldest and most widely practiced school of herbal medicine, originating in India 5,000 years ago. Most of their products are manufactured under Ayurvedic license (distinct from a cosmetic license). Ayurveda determines the herbal blends and the herbs determine product aesthetics. Ayurveda determines the herbs, the herbs determine both efficacy and aesthetics. Efficacy is the primary reason they use the herbs they do. Many of the herbs are so specific to their Indian origin, they don't even have English names. Pick up the hair oil and read the 8 herbs from Bhringraj to Jataamansi. Bhringraj is a great example - this is a Sanskrit word. The Hindi word is "Keshraja", which literally translated means "ruler of the hair." This herb has been used for so long as a hair tonic that its very name reflects its use! Are Better Botanicals Products 100% Natural?Although some of their products are, Better Botanicals has never claimed to be 100% natural. Most of their products are between 98 and 99.5% natural. Better Botanical products are so natural that color variations might be seen from batch to batch. This is especially true of the more colorful products, such as the Rose-Tulsi Toner (note: it is the Kamala which makes it red, not rosewater, which is not red). The changes in color reflect the season in which the herbs were grown, how much sunlight and water the herbs received, etc. The change in color is one of the signs of a truly natural product. There are, however, 2 ways to alter this: Use a chemical color to make it uniform from batch to batch, which they cannot do under the Ayurvedic license, nor would they want to Put the product in an opaque bottle so you can't see it, which is against their philosophy of openness Color variations are often considered a "badge of honor" when considering a natural product! What makes your products effective?The difference is that Better Botanicals uses the herbs in their natural form. For example, one Amla fruit, about as big as a walnut, has as much Vitamin C as 26 oranges. Therefore, they use Amla extract, instead of synthesized Vitamin C, in their Amla Shine Shampoo. The US government initiated the planting of Amla plantations in Florida during WWII as a source of Vitamin C in case it became scarce during the war. Better Botanicals believe that things are more effective when used in their natural form for 2 key reasons: Synthesized ingredients tend to break down and lose efficacy more easily (they are less stable because they are simpler compounds) In their natural form, elements work together in a more complex fashion to achieve greater efficacy (like the example of meadowsweet, which yields the chemical formula for aspirin, but works with other natural compounds to provide buffering agents for the stomach) What is the difference between Better Botanicals and other product lines?The products are HERBAL. Many product lines claim to be herbal, however, here is the Better Botanicals difference: For an herbal product to have any functional value, a very high herbal content is needed. Their herbal content ranges from 15% (shampoo) to 100% (steams). Their moisturizers have a 30 - 35% herbal content. Other products out there add an herbal "image ingredient" (1 or 2%) and then make an alpha-hydroxy the active ingredient. With Better Botanicals, the herbs are the active ingredients and are selected based on efficacy. Better Botanicals does not add anything for fragrance or color. The herbs that are selected by BB and Ayurvedic physicians determine the fragrance and color. About Better BotanicalsAt Better Botanicals, their goal is to provide the purest herbal skin care possible. They use no synthetic colors or fragrances, no alcohol, no "bandwagon" ingredients, mineral oil or animal ingredients. They test only on happy, human volunteers. Better Botanicals are committed to providing these products at a price point affordable to more people. Everyone deserves the opportunity to use natural skin care at its best without breaking the pocketbook. Launched nationally in 1998, Better Botanicals products are based on "Ayurveda." It is the world's oldest and most widely practiced school of herbal medicine, originating in India 5,000 years ago. Most of their products are manufactured under Ayurvedic license (distinct from a cosmetic license). Ayurveda determines the herbal blends and the herbs determine product aesthetics. Their concept is to infuse nature's healing qualities into each preparation to help stimulate the skin's natural ability to find its way back to balanced health. Better Botanicals credo is 'care, not camouflage.' They rely on Ayurveda's pure, balancing herbs to offer products that work with the body's natural rhythm and intelligence to enhance both health and beauty. Better Botanicals are a condensed line of products and intend to stay simple. Because they are not a "treatment line" per se, they can capitalize on the purity, efficacy, and functionality of the products. They are committed to education and lending support to their stores as often as needed. One of the more positive aspects of a small line is the ability to create and maintain closer relationships with customers. Every opportunity Better Botanicals has to educate is an opportunity to sell.

VHDL-AMS Model Portability — Fact or Fiction?
Once in awhile I work with customers who want to move VHDL-AMS models between multiple simulators. The ability to do so is one of the great promises of standard modeling languages and, at face value, should be an easy task. After all, if a language is an industry standard, and multiple simulation tools claim to support it, then moving models between tools should be a plug-and-play process, right? Well, the answer is both "yes" and "no". Sometimes it truly is plug-and-play with models working well across multiple simulators. But more often than not, moving VHDL-AMS models between simulators from different vendors isn't as easy as you might think. The problem is not in the language itself, but in how the vendor interprets and implements language features.
Standard languages are typically supported by a standards body which, with the help of its members, defines language functionality and documents required features in a Language Reference Manual (LRM). LRMs are weighty documents, usually several hundred pages long, containing everything there is to know about a language. The latest version of the VHDL-AMS LRM (IEEE STD 1076.1-2009) stretches on for 340+ pages. For the average reader, even someone with a background in modeling and simulation, it is not a light read.
To support a language standard, tool vendors must first interpret the LRM as accurately as possible, then implement their interpretation in a simulation program. Problems relating to model portability start with LRM research and generally take one or two forms. First, the tool vendor needs to determine which language features to support. It shouldn't come as a surprise that developing simulation support for a new language is not an overnight task. Supporting a new language often takes several man years of development work, especially if language support first requires a new simulator. A simulator won't be viable in the market until it first supports a core set of language features, but opinions about what constitutes a core feature set vary a bit between tool vendors. This leads to language features supported in one simulator that are not supported in another.
Once a tool vendor determines which language features to support, the next model portability stumbling block results from language feature implementation. In other words, once a tool vendor decides which features to support, the next step is determining exactly how to support each feature. Hopefully, the LRM is written well enough to limit implementation errors. But errors do creep in. Tool vendors exacerbate this problem when they are lax in strict adherence to LRM requirements. As an example, some simulators allow non-standard syntax that might cause errors in tools that more strictly interpret the LRM. Once again, this leads to models that work in the parent simulator but possibly not in others.
Language standards are not new to the simulation tool industry. Nor is the ability to move models between tools from different vendors. Users have successfully done so with standards-based digital models for years (think simulation models based on the popular VHDL and Verilog logic modeling languages). Mixed-technology language standards, however, lag logic modeling languages in model portability, but are gaining popularity. As mixed-technology languages like VHDL-AMS grow in popularity, so will their broader acceptance. And as acceptance grows, so will multi-vendor simulation support until seamless model portability is a reality.

This event has now passed, so stay tuned for an announcement about the next topic and location in our seminar series in 2013, and make sure to check out the May 2013 full-weekend conference in Portland!
Thanks to all our attendees and speakers!
This is an intensive one-day seminar on the technical aspects of serious Internet veganism: blogging and social media. At the end of the day, you will be armed with skills and resources to build a more effective online presence.
Saturday, November 3, 2012
9 am – 5 pm
Classes will run one at a time, with lunch (provided by Veggie Grill!) and snack breaks, and are set to include:
Blog Design in an Ever-Changing Digital Landscape
What should you be doing when your blog starts getting heavier traffic? Do you know what responsive design is? Is your blog's theme or layout ready for mobile, tablets, and other screen sizes and resolutions? Are you interested in changing your theme, updating your fonts, or learning a little CSS to help with design?
Learn how to choose the correct platform, blog theme, hosting solution, and design strategies to make sure visitors have a smooth experience and keep coming back. We will provide examples during class with a take-away sheet of helpful URLs.
Tim Mauldin is Software Architect and Technologist who has done projects for companies large and small. He is an expert in software optimization and loves to solve performance problems. He currently resides in Austin, TX, and has a vegan taco problem.
Elizabeth Miller is Design Lead as well as Senior Front-End Developer for Squishymedia, a medium-size web development agency in Portland. Elizabeth's 10 years of design experience includes projects for Ralph Lauren, Sony, and Mercedes-Benz. She designs beyond surface appearances to create lovely and usable interactive experiences. She loves vegan mac-n-cheese burritos the most.
Next-Level Social Media
How do you connect your blogging goals with social media? This intermediate-level session for people already active with Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks will explore the use of these tools to build community and craft your personal vs. blog identity. We'll look at identifying and utilizing emerging social media platforms such as Tumblr, Instagram, and Pinterest. We'll also touch upon best practices for sharing content across these different platforms
Helen Pitlick is super excited to be speaking about social media. She has a Master of Communication in Digital Media from the University of Washington, teaches lawyers how to blog at LexBlog, and previously managed social media for Foodista.com. In her spare time, she writes Vegtastic! and probably tweets too much about cats.
Dawn Quinn is fascinated with social media and the ways communication is constantly changing. She began the MCDM program at University of Washington this fall so she could further study these changes. Dawn is a copywriter, blogs at Vegan Moxie, eats lots of Brussels sprouts, and lives with her partner and two cats.
The Nuts 'n' Bolts of a Web Page
In this class, we will walk through the basics of creating a simple web page that will introduce three core web technologies: HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Starting with the simplest possible valid HTML code, we will incrementally make the page more interesting by adding: content (HTML), style (CSS) and interaction (Javascript).
By the end of the class, we will have created an informative, pretty and dyncamic page, as well as developed a basic knowledge of web development.
Colin Barringer works for athenaHealth, Inc., developing medical billing software. He has an M.S. in computer science, has been working as a web developer for 4 years, and has extensive knowledge of a variety of computer programming languages.

YouTube Revamps Comments Feed
YouTube will try to clean up its "barely literate" comments section.
The video-sharing service says it's revamping the comments feed which some users claim is overwhelmed with crude and vulgar postings that usually don't have anything to do with the video.
A YouTube blog post outlining some of the changes says people who share their videos will have new tools to filter out rude, racist, homophobic or irrelevant comments. The options will allow users to review posts before they appear, block certain words and phrases, and save time by auto-approving comments from friends.
The changes are rolling out this week.

Most nerds can point to difficult childhood memories: searing moments when the geek persona meets the unexpectedly harsh side of social reality; a spasm of turtle-shell social wariness that has us wishing for a place where we were the norm and the rest of the world would leave us alone. That's often the first subtle step on a walk that, to some degree, deliberately separates those of us who feel we're too intelligent to be happy in this world from those of us we feel are plebian enough to thrive there.
Fortunately, most of us recognize these insidious isolationist tendencies and identify them as childish impulses before they get out of hand and further damage our lives -- but not all. Certainly, that memo didn't reach Balaji Srinivasn, a newly minted general partner at VC firm Andreessen Horowitz, who wants to move all the people he likes to a protected geek sanctuary off the coast of California, unbothered by his non-BFFs, co-citizens, and the tax man.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Cringely peers into the crystal ball and comes up with 10 crazy tech predictions for 2014. | Can we talk? Send your tech war story to firstname.lastname@example.com and get a $50 AmEx gift cheque if InfoWorld publishes it. We're all ears! ]
We all have our magnificent midnight mind farts, but clearly, the mental fog had yet to break when Srinivasn cracked open his bleary peepers the next morning. He really thought he was on to something, and he's been making enough noise about it over the last few months that it's become more than another nutty tweetfest. All I can think is that the day before his aforementioned midnight moment, Srinivasn must have binge-watched one too many episodes of Syfy's "Eureka."
Tech utopia now!
Suspiciously similar to that TV saga, he wants the not-so-smarts to fund an autonomous zone within the United States to house the smarts and let them do whatever they want without "bothering" the rest of us. Presumably, he'll allow us to continue evolving thumbs while farming their food and protecting them from hordes of other thumbless trogs sent by third-world governments to steal their research.
Within this zone, the smarts will be allowed to play with and, inevitably, innovate new technologies and scientific wonderments without the nuisance of legal, governmental, or even conventional moral oversight. After all, when you put ex-startup CEOs in a room together and leave them alone, what else could happen? An Xbox tournament -- or a business plan for an online dog grooming service?
Srinivasn describes his dream island as being populated by "inverse Amish," big-IQ people who lust after new technical advancements instead of abstaining from them. We should be happy to support this benevolent upper-brain class; just like President Ronald Reagan's trickle-down economy, the money we pour into this project in the form of tax breaks, unlimited logistical support, and Mountain Dew will eventually dribble new innovations that bring colorful salvation into our gray, Luddite lives.
All the tech moguls are doing it
Finally, people crazier than the tea party! Yes, it is "people," not "person" -- the tech exalted have come out in support of Srinivasn. He's not the only one to come up with the idea either. PayPal founder Peter Thiel is building a floating version; Google co-founder Larry Page wants in too. I suppose that's what bothers me: One wingnut preaching a techno-separationist sermon is worth a smile and a shrug, but a small movement -- in all seriousness and with their bare faces hanging out -- asking the world for support, that's downright offensive.

Welcome, welcome, welcome... is something we have been saying a lot around here now that school is back in session. We finished up the last registration day on Thursday (8/21). Students finalized their paperwork, got their picture taken (twice!), and completed their class schedule.
Of course it didn't end there. Both Thursday (8/21) and all day Friday (8/22) students were moving into the dorms, buying books, and generally getting to know the campus and each other.
For those of us who have been on campus all summer, it is great to see students roaming around again.
Convocation Chapel was on Tuesday (8/26). This all school chapel was a good time to welcome new students. Staff and faculty prayed for the students, dedicating both the students and themselves to the learning and work that God has in store for them this school year. [Plus, it is a good opportunity for our faculty to don those cool robes.] (Convocation Chapel Program [PDF])

Ship Weight:4.65 Servings:55 Dosage:1 Scoop(s) Flavor:Chocolate Supreme Click here to read a PDF brochure on this product Optimum Nutrition - 100% Casein Gold Standard Chocolate Supreme - 4 lbs. (1818 g) Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein Gold Standard Chocolate Supreme Protein is slow-acting and aminogen enhanced. Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day. Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of their unique time-released qualities, caseins are aptly described as anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting proteins. Beyond the Basics Loaded with 100% Micellar Casein 24 grams of time-released protein per serving Contains Aminogen digestive enzymes to enhance utilization Over 5 grams of BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine) Nearly 5 grams of Glutamine & glutamine precursors in every scoop More than 5 grams of BCAAs The Bigger Picture of CaseinRapid protein use is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help refuel recovering muscles, but delayed digestion and absorption may be more beneficial at other times - including bedtime when your body typically goes for hours without food. Casein proteins are acid sensitive and thicken in the stomach. Because of this, it can take more than twice as long for Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard 100% Casein to be broken down into its amino acid subcomponents than other proteins. By using only premium micellar casein, they've created a protein formula that's truly time-released. About Optimum Nutrition Optimum Nutrition, Inc. (ON) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Glanbia, a leading international cheese and nutritional ingredients group. ON owns and operates two brands of nutritional supplements (Optimum Nutrition and American Body Building) providing a comprehensive line of products across multiple categories. With state-of-the-art production facilities occupying over 500,000 square feet of operating space, ON is the only sports nutrition company to manufacture items in every product category. Whether it's nutritional bars, protein powders, ready-to-drink sports beverages, or vitamins, essential minerals, and herbs, Optimum Nutrition is able to control the integrity of all products through in-house manufacturing. Supported by Costello's Health Distributors (Optimum Nutrition's sister distribution company) and ABB's nationwide direct service distribution network, customers are ensured prompt delivery and unmatched customer support. Collectively, Optimum Nutrition, American Body Building, and Costello's Health Distributors, are the dominant force in the sports nutrition industry with the highest quality products available in health food stores, specialty stores, gyms and progressive retailers everywhere. HistoryOptimum Nutrition was founded in 1986 by brothers Tony and Michael Costello. Originally known as Costello's Health Distributors, the entrepreneurial brothers soon recognized an opportunity in the need for significantly improved quality and innovative vision in the sports nutrition industry. The Optimum Nutrition brand was launched to satisfy both demands, and after 22 years of success reflected in great part by the ongoing best-selling status of ON Gold Standard 100% Whey, the Costello's entered into agreement to sell the company to the international cheese and nutritional ingredients group Glanbia. Optimum Nutrition Mission StatementOptimum Nutrition strives to produce distinctive, affordable, premium-quality products while making every effort to anticipate ever-changing customer needs and meet the demands of a dynamic market with innovative products, effective support materials, and unsurpassed service. AffordabilityAs an advocate of healthy lifestyles, ON believes that every consumer should be able to purchase premium products; so they eliminate the middlemen and control the integrity of their brand throughout the entire production and distribution processes, making sure each product is not just top quality, but also among the most competitively priced in the industry. Quality CountsOptimum Nutrition's commitment to quality is evident throughout the entire product development process. Before a single machine is turned on they carefully select vendors who supply premium raw materials. All vendors must provide a Certificate of Analysis for each raw material as a continued measure of quality. These certificates are then verified through random in-house and independent laboratory testing. Highly sophisticated equipment confirms the purity and potency of every ingredient on their labels. To further diminish any chance of physical, chemical, and microbiological contaminants, they have established and implemented their own Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) program. Quality assurance professionals make routine checks on all storage, blending, and production areas and conduct final inspections daily. Together, these procedures allow Optimum Nutrition to constantly deliver first-rate sports nutrition supplements under the strictest quality control standards known as current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs). Customer SatisfactionFrom the beginning, Optimum Nutrition's customers have been their number one priority. While strict quality control, lab testing, and manufacturing under tightly controlled conditions are all very important, they are all done for one reason – to bring you high quality, affordable supplements. They pride themselves on customer loyalty and are pleased to report that nearly all of their first-time customers become devoted patrons. You can be confident that from the moment a product is conceived to the moment it leaves their facility they put only the best into Optimum Nutrition so you only put the best into your body.

A lot of this depends on how you store the cakes after they are baked. Bake layers in advance, wrap well, and freeze until you are ready to decorate, and decorate as close as you can to when the cake will be served.
Oil-based cakes, especially chocolate cakes, tend to be more moist than butter based cakes. If you are worried about the cake drying out, you can brush the layers with simple syrup, too.

I would like to start a list of web development software stages. I will start with some and hope you can all contribute with some.

Ok some of the steps are empty, but for now, I'm gathering the as many professional software I can get.
For versioning you should consider svn/cvs. In order to decide which, see what your developers are more comfortable with. Base Camp eh... hmm.. We use that at work but our main senior developer claims it's fairly slow. Keep that in mind. There's also webex for a "virtual office" scenario. Wireframing is usually a graphical example of how things should look. That said, most of the software in "Design" and "Coding" should help with that.
For the wireframing section maybe, I ran into this in comments in reply to an article on TechRepublic:
I haven't given it a shot yet, but if you have a graphics tablet or a tablet pc, it looks like this would combine the freedom of paper and the linking / tracking of a computer.
Thank you very much!
Wow it seems very cool and it's not really expensive comparing with the others, thank you.
A few additions:
CodingVisual Studio .NETVisual Web Developer ExpressTopStyleFlash Studio
DebuggingFiddlerFirefox Web Developer ToolbarLive HTTP HeadersVisual Studio .NET
Also, I am not so certain why XmlSpy is under debugging as opposed to coding. Also depends on how one defines debugging I guess.
This is very useful.Thank you
Could you please add CMS?
coding:PHP DesignerPS Pad
Flash Studio? From MDM?
Uploading: Dynamiss Submission.
This software also has the function of search engine submission, doorway page maker, etc.
http://instant-eyedropper.com/One-click to pick color codes on the screen and paste it to the clipboard automatically.
Yes but Dynamiss Submission is for promoting a the site, not for the development. Web CEO is a good software to promote sites.
But web development software is those things that normally people don't know, or use little, just Photoshopish and Dreamweaver, don't consider much the job of building a web site following all project cicle.
just adding my 2 cents worth. I recommend Axure for wire framing.
I update the list since with the suggestions that user gave me, thank you all.
May I suggest my software?
This is a multi-tab editor with built-in file browser, ftp, and code explorer. It can submit files for validation, use external help indexes for several languages, etc. It has syntax highlight, configurable autocomplete, and one- and two-key shortcuts. The projects allow to save state between work sessions.
Aptana is a really good editor, alot of features and it's free.And I will also add Firebug, an extention for firefox, reallyif you're on this forum then firebug is a must have.And finally a little program I found one day while freeware hunting,ColorMania I don't know where you can find it tho, But youcould probly google it.
[plug]MS Expression Web (coding)[/plug]
No one's mentioned DB to HTML solutions which offer a family of programs that can build and maintain large sites very quickly and with very fast, lightweight, reliable pages.DB to HTML ExpressWebmergeSuperbloggingare all worth looking at.
Another addition to the coding section is Eclipse. It can be used for Java development natively, but there is a bunch of different plugins that can be used with it as well.
You should add StyleSpread under coding, although a real programmer wouldn't consider CSS to be "coding". Maybe it should go under design?

The Trayvon Martin Killing and the Myth of Black-on-Black Crime
Last week, in Chicago, 16-year-old Darryl Green was found dead in the yard of an abandoned home. He was killed, relatives reported, because he refused to join a gang. Unlike most tragedies, however—which remain local news—this one caught the attention of conservative activist Ben Shapiro, an editor for Breitbart News. Using the hashtag "#justicefordarryl," Shaprio tweeted and publicized the details of Green's murder. But this wasn't a call for help and assistance for Green's family, rather, it was his response to wide outrage over Saturday's decision in the case of George Zimmerman, where a Florida jury judged him "not guilty" of second-degree murder or manslaughter in the killing of Trayvon Martin.
Shapiro, echoing many other conservatives, is angry over the perceived politicization of the Zimmerman trial, and believes that activists have "injected" race into the discussion, as if there's nothing racial already within the criminal-justice system. Indeed, he echoes many conservatives when he complains that media attention had everything to do with Zimmerman's race. If he were black, the argument goes, no one would care. And so, Shapiro found the sad story of Darryl Green, and promoted it as an example of the "black-on-black" crime that, he believes, goes ignored. Or, as he tweets, "49% of murder victims are black men. 93% of those are killed by other blacks. Media don't care. Obama doesn't care. #JusticeForDarryl."
The idea that "black-on-black" crime is the real story in Martin's killing isn't a novel one. In addition to Shapiro, you'll hear the argument from conservative African-American activists like Crystal White, as well as people outside the media, like Zimmerman defense attorney Mark O'Mara, who said that his client "never would have been charged with a crime" if he were black.
(It's worth noting, here, that Zimmerman wasn't charged with a crime. At least, not at first. It took six weeks of protest and pressure for Sanford police to revisit the killing and bring charges against him. Indeed, in the beginning, Martin's cause had less to do with the identity of the shooter and everything to do with the appalling disinterest of the local police department.)
But there's a huge problem with attempt to shift the conversation: There's no suchthing as "black-on-black" crime. Yes, from 1976 to 2005, 94 percent of black victims were killed by black offenders, but that racial exclusivity was also true for white victims of violent crime—86 percent were killed by white offenders. Indeed, for the large majority of crimes, you'll find that victims and offenders share a racial identity, or have some prior relationship to each other.
What Shapiro and others miss about crime, in general, is that it's driven byopportunism and proximity; If African-Americans are more likely to be robbed, or injured, or killed by other African-Americans, it's because they tend to live in the same neighborhoods as each other. Residential statistics bear this out (PDF); blacks are still more likely to live near each other or other minority groups than they are to whites. And of course, the reverse holds as well—whites are much more likely to live near other whites than they are to minorities and African-Americans in particular.
Nor are African-Americans especially criminal. If they were, you would still see high rates of crime among blacks, even as the nation sees a historic decline in criminal offenses. Instead, crime rates among African-Americans, and black youth in particular, have taken a sharp drop. In Washington, D.C., for example, fewer than 10 percent of black youth are in a gang, have sold drugs, have carried a gun, or have stolen more than $100 in goods.

Rick Ross apologizes amid protests over lyric
Listen to Rick Ross on iHeartRadio
Rick Ross is apologizing for a lyric that seemed to condone date rape. The questionable verse appeared on Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O.," which also features Future. On the track Ross raps about taking home a woman after putting the drug "molly" in her drink without her knowing it. On Thursday, Ross took to Twitter to apologize for the lyric that was "interpreted as rape." Ross added that he does not condone rape.
I dont condone rape.Apologies for the #lyric interpreted as rape. #BOSS— Mastermind (@rickyrozay) April 4, 2013
Apologies to my many business partners,who would never promote violence against women. @reebokclassics @ultraviolet— Mastermind (@rickyrozay) April 4, 2013
The apology came on the same day protesters showed up at a New York City Reebok store where Ross was making an appearance. According to MTV News, the protesters were hoping to convince Reebok to scrap Ross's endorsement deal.
One of the groups who rallied protesters was the women's advocacy group Ultra Violet. Ultra Violent is also trying to gather 71-thousand signatures for a petition that asks Reebok to drop Rick Ross.

Just want to say thanks PH for the howto, works on the first try.
to answer someone above i have a 4g eeepc and the cd version fits in, although i end up with less than 50mb so im guessing if you're doing it with the usb version it probably won't fit once decompressed
Just want to say thanks PH for the howto, works on the first try.
pureh@te - I was able to use your instructions to replace my BT 3 Beta install with BT Final on my MacBook's 5 GB Boot Camp partition. However, I probably have less than 2 neurons in my brain, because it took me forever to figure out that I needed to first do
umount /dev/sda3
before I could do the first command:
mkdir /mnt/backtrack
Also, I made my lilo config file identical to yours, which works fine on the MacBook. However, when I booted up for the first time,
I got an error message saying that the label backtrack3_final was too long, so I changed it to BT3, and it worked.
Thanks for the tutorial!
Also, thanks to jeroenimo's tutorial which allowed me to get BT 3 Beta up and running on the hard drive using Boot Camp and rEFIt.
ok guys i did the same instructions that ph wrote here and it the same instructions used for BT2 install , however when i tried this with BT3 final i couldnt find my drivers in the mnt directory even when i went to storage device and opened my drivers its shows empty nothing in it , iam trying to figure out what wrong but if you guys know whats the problem or if its a bug please let me know
I'm not following? What drivers and why are they in the /mnt directory? If your having issues with a removable device of some sort its probably not automounting (which I dont like anyway) . I'm going to assume the issue is you got some stuff on a thumb drive you want to add to backtrack. If so then...
insert device and the type "dmesg" in a shell. The last 10 lines or so should show you a device name like sda,sdb,sdc or some thing like that. If not you got bigger problems.
After you know the name of the device simply do this (assuming the device is sda)
mkdir /mnt/sda
mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda
cd /mnt/sda
ls ( or whatever you need to do at this point)
If that doesn't clear it up then repost with a clearer picture about whats going on.
thanks ph for your reply , i solved the problem
it was my hard drives that was not mounted and i mounted by mkdir /mount
i guess i little drunk thanks for the reply brother
I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss
I would like to make it absolutely clear that I do not endorse this method of doing the install and thats not what this thread is about. Please do not post in this threads with problems from the install script.I used the BT3.kmdr from my working BT3 beta.

Where will the new library be?
The library will be on 14.3 acres on the south side East Main, adjacent to Lindley Park and Peet's Hill. The new address is 626 East Main Street.
How big will the new library be?
The new library building will be about 53,000 square feet, which is more than double the present library's size. (It is interesting to note the current library increased the size of the previous library by 4 times!)
What will happen to the old library building?
It has been sold to the City of Bozeman. Proceeds will go towards the construction of the new library.
Why do we need a new library?
Growth. We need a new public library because Bozeman has grown more than 40% since the present library was built in 1981; by 2020 the population may double. Our library serves all the residents of Bozeman and Gallatin County, with over 1,200 visitors each day. It is a dynamic, busy place and is getting very crowded! The new library will allow for a growing collection of books and materials, will have more computers, updated wiring, lots of comfy reading space, tutor rooms, two meeting rooms and additional parking!
When will construction be completed?
Construction on the new library began on April 14, 2005 during National Library Week. The construction manager is Martel Construction. The new library is projected to open in November 2006.
What did the remediation process entail?
The site of the new library once was a depot for the Chicago Milwaukee Railroad and was contaminated with asbestos and lead in the soil. Remediation was completed on-site, which means the material transported from the site was cleaned and contained in plastic bags and taken to the City landfill. The City waived the tipping fees, which would have cost over $800,000.
Will more money be needed for the new library?
Yes! The new library will cost about $17 million when completed. The bond issue passed in June 2001 provided $4 million from city taxpayers. The Library Foundation has raised another $5,850,000. Other funding sources include Gallatin County, TIF funds, a Northwestern Energy grant, federal funds, sale of the current building, and park land reimbursement. All contributions are tax-deductible.
Will there be other development on the site?
On July 11, 2005 the City Commission approved the City/Library Lands Task Force recommendations to sell one acre of land south of the new Library for a "green" building of approximately 10,000 sq.ft. The purchaser would be required to incorporate a design compatible with the Library, Lindley Park and the cemetery. The only other site development under consideration is the reconstruction of the depot. The bricks were palletized and stored for later use. The Library has no say over any future Wallace Avenue redevelopment.
Who are the architects involved in the design of the new library?
A requirement of the selection process was that a local architectural office be involved in the design of the new library. The architectural firm of Overland Partners had an office in Bozeman as well as San Antonio, Texas, and library architect Ray Johnston of Seattle was actively involved in the design process. In 2004, principle architect Mark Headley, formerly of Overland Partners opened StudioFORMA Architects, located in Bozeman. He continues to lead the design process.
What is a "green" building?
"Green" buildings are environmentally sound and energy efficient. This includes using recycled building materials, alternative energies, night flushing, and photovoltaic systems. The Library will receive a $500,000 donation upon achieving Silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
What is the Library Foundation?

Prospect Pitch: Gast doesn't throw gas
Cards' left-hander late adding four-seam heater to repertoire
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | May 9, 2012 6:00 AM ET
Gast does not watch ballgames on TV, but, as a second-year pro last spring, he had heard of that panacea espoused that summer in Sports Illustrated's 2011 piece: the cut fastball, AKA, the cutter. The trendy pitch was making careers (Mike Adams', for one) and burnishing others (Dan Haren, for another).
So with Class A Advanced Palm Beach pitching coach Dennis Martinez looking on, Gast gave it a try.
"I was just messin' around with it in grips and throwing it in bullpen [sessions]. It didn't work out for me too well," he said. "I wasn't able to throw it hard with a little bit of break. It was more like a slider, and that wasn't what I was looking for."
St. Louis' No. 9 prospect instead settled on the simplest of solutions: a four-seam fastball. The pitch nearly every Little Leaguer learns first was new to Gast -- and it's seemed foreign so far to Double-A batters: The former Florida State standout won each of his first three starts this season, and has compiled a 2.03 ERA through 44 1/3 innings.
Right-handed hitters? They're batting .218 against him.
"If you have three pitches that are effective," Gast, 23, said, "it's just about being consistent with them. That's the baseline, and everything else is icing." (Tell that to Trevor Bauer.)
MiLB.com asked Gast to describe and grade each of the pitches he employs. (His grade is based on a scout's traditional 20-80 scale, 50 being the Major League average.) Here is Gast, in his own words.
Wait: "Now all the hitters will know what I throw," Gast joked. "OK ... alright."
Pitch one: Four-seam fastball
Origin: I threw all two-seams throughout high school and college. Last year, I started throwing four-seams. I was having trouble to the extension side, to the inside part of the plate to the righty. Throwing the two-seam, that tends to tail back over the plate, so I was looking for something that would stay more straight. It was just a change in grip. It wasn't like learning a slider.
Purpose: It won't tail as much. So far this season, I have been able to go in there pretty good. It keeps them from diving out over the plate, adds something for them to think about.
Grip: Traditional. It's not any different than anybody else's.
Speed: Probably around 88, 90 miles per hour, a little faster than my two-seam.
Grade: I have to grade myself, huh? Let's go with a 45.
Pitch two: Two-seam fastball
Origin: I just got into throwing that one. I don't know why I started throwing a two-seamer over a four-seamer; it just felt comfortable.
Purpose: It has more sink on it.
Grip: My grip on this one is a little different. A lot of guys will go on the seams with a little space between their fingers. I throw mine with my index and middle fingers together, so it's almost like one big finger.
Speed: The range is 86 to 88.
Grade: We'll go with a 40.
Pitch three: Changeup
Origin: I never really threw a changeup until college and then hardly at all in college. In 2010, I had two or three weeks between when my junior season ended and I reported to Batavia. I was working on it when I had an epiphany moment where everything clicked and it started working for me.
Purpose: It's all about timing with hitters, so anything you can do to disrupt it. Obviously, the thing that makes it work is the arm speed. Your hand is still going to change speed; it just comes off your hand slower, which is what makes it effective.
Grip: I use a circle-change. I grip it across two seams, so my ring finger and middle finger will be running along the two seams. It resembles a two-seam fastball.
Speed: I like to see 10 to 12 miles per hour off of the fastball, so 75, 76.
Grade: I'd say it's average, so I'll go with 50. I use it a quite a bit.
Pitch four: Slurve
Origin: It was my main out-pitch in high school and college. It was pretty easy to pick up. I was more of a slinger -- I had a lower arm slot in high school -- and I had Tommy John surgery and changed my motion. It was a little easier to throw when you're slinging across it. I'm a little more on top than I was, but not by much. The action of the pitch hasn't changed; the hitters are just better.
Purpose: I go to it for a strikeout.
Grip: If you take your fingers like you're throwing a two-seam, inside and up over the horseshoe, make a 'V' around the horseshoe and then just dig your middle finger into the seam.
Speed: I like to see it around 78, maybe close to 80.
Grade: Let's go with a 35. When I started developing the changeup I got away from it and it got weaker. Right now, it's probably my fourth best pitch. It hasn't been my focus.

Whirling Dervishes
Photograph by Eda Kaya, My Shot
The ritual dance of the Sufi sect, a mystical branch of Islam, was created in Konya 700 years ago by the Persian poet Rumi. Practitioners, dubbed "whirling dervishes" by early European travelers, believe the act of repeatedly spinning allows them to forget their earthly body and move closer to God. "Dervish" is an adaptation of darwish, the Arabic word for Sufi.
Süleymaniye Mosque, Istanbul

A crescent moon hangs above the Süleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul. Built in the 1550s, the mosque was designed by court architect Sinan in honor of the sultan of sultans, Süleyman I, who raised the Ottoman Empire to the height of its glory in the 16th century.

The religious headscarf, or hijab, has been a polarizing item in Turkish society. Since the end of World War I, the post-Ottoman government has been fiercely secular, enforcing, among other edicts, a ban on headscarves in state institutions. But a renewed popular desire to embrace the nation's Islamic past has led to high-profile ideological clashes over the garment. Here a model at a fashion show in Ankara displays an outfit from Setrms, maker of fashionable Islamic clothing.
Topkapi Palace, Istanbul
Photograph by Murat Taner/Getty Images
Sprawled along a promontory between the Bosporus and the Marmara Sea, Istanbul's Topkapi Palace was, for more than 400 years, the Ottoman imperial residence and its seat of government. The structure was first built in the mid-1400s but was added to and renovated nearly continually over the centuries, eventually reaching a footprint of some 170 acres (69 hectares). Its decor, including the exquisite tile work shown here, matches the grandeur of a great empire and reflects the individual styles of each sultan.
Ruined Church, Ani
Photograph by Associated Press
Dubbed the "City of 1001 Churches," Ani was once a spectacular metropolis whose grandeur rivaled that of Byzantium. Situated on the uneasy border between Turkey and its historical adversary, Armenia, Ani endured centuries of war and earthquakes before being left to the desert plateau. Now all that remain are the scattered ruins of churches and mosques.
Library at Ephesus
Photograph by Didier De Pauw, My Shot
Most of the ruins of the great city of Ephesus are from its time as a Roman provincial capital. Evidence still stands, however, of its rule by the Greek and Persian empires more than 4,000 years ago. Situated near the Cayster River in western Turkey, the ancient city's most famous edifices include the Temple of Artemis and the Library of Celsus, shown here.
Hagia Sophia, Istanbul
Photograph by Murad Sezer/Associated Press
Built in just six years by Byzantine Emperor Justinian in the mid-sixth century A.D., Istanbul's Hagia Sophia stood as Christendom's largest cathedral for almost a thousand years. After the city fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, it was converted to a mosque and outfitted with four slender minarets. In 1935, with the advent of the modern Turkish state, it became a museum.
Turkish Carpets
Photograph by Palani Mohan
Haggling over carpets is an age-old pastime at the legendary Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey. Rug weaving arose in Central Asia more than 2,000 years ago, and Turkish tribes were among its first practitioners. Centuries of refinements to please Ottoman rulers helped them hone their craft. Turkish weavers still produce the world's most coveted handmade rugs.
Grand Bazaar, Istanbul
Photograph by Gavin Hellier/Getty Images
The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey, has been a blur of activity for more than 500 years. Built by Mehmet the Conqueror in the 1460s as the last stop on the Silk Road, this maze of stone and marble is one of the world's first and, despite the advent of the megamall, still among the world's largest covered markets. It occupies 75 acres (31 hectares) and houses more than 3,000 shops
Cave House, Cappadocia
Photograph by Apurva Madia, My Shot
What is now Cappadocia in central Turkey was once buried beneath a deep blanket of volcanic ash. Millions of years of wind and water erosion then sculpted the soft rock into forests of mushroom-shaped peaks, dubbed "fairy chimneys." For more than a thousand years people have dug them out and converted them into houses, churches, and even subterranean labyrinths where residents hid from invading armies.
Photograph by Marge Botten, My Shot
Until quite recently, the famed cave dwellings of Cappadocia stood empty and the region attracted only adventurous tourists. But infrastructure improvements and posh accommodations, including new and refurbished cave homes, have turned it into a luxury tourism destination. Among the diversions available: hot-air ballooning over Cappadocia's breathtaking landscape of volcanic spires and fruit orchards.
Oludeniz Beach

Oludeniz Beach on the Turkish Mediterranean is famous for its wide shoreline, deep blue water, and gentle surf—its name means "calm sea." Constant breezes and steep cliffs rimming this secluded cove make it a destination for paragliders.
Galata Bridge, Istanbul
Photograph by Wilfried Krecichwost/Getty Images
The first bridge across Istanbul's Golden Horn waterway was a temporary structure erected by the Ottoman army in 1453. It wasn't until the late 1830s, though, that a permanent bridge was built. The current span, connecting the modern Galata neighborhood with Old Istanbul, is the bridge's fifth incarnation. Built in 1992, it houses shops, restaurants, and coffee houses underneath the roadway.

Hello to everybody on this fascinating website.
I have just got around to using Backtrack 3 on my MacBook, by loading it from a CD, and holding down C at start-up. I have an ALFA AWUS036E wireless card ('the card'), without the capability of the 'H' model, but a worthy card nevertheless, so I am told.
I would like to know how I can install the card so that it can be recognised and used with BT3. When I have BT3 loaded up it does not pick up on anything inserted into the USB port. In particular have I erred in installation? I am unsure if it is necessary to partition my hard disk as well as booting from CD. The driver for the card do come with the installation CD, but obviously I cannot very well insert a CD as the drive is occupied by the BT3 ISO CD.
I am running Leopard 10.5.5, and my MacBook is the 4,1 version.
If you need more information please ask away. Any relevant help is more than welcome.

History of Church
Founded in 1858, Pine Street Presbyterian Church is the second-oldest Presbyterian Church in Harrisburg. A group of forty-two members, led by James McCormick, Jr., left the English Presbyterian (later Market Square) congregation over theological differences and established the Presbyterian Church of Harrisburg. They erected an elegant Gothic Revival church at Pine and Third Streets. [photos of original exterior & interior] Through the years, leaders in all aspects of community life have contributed generously of their talents, abilities and monetary resources to support parish activities. This enduring level of individual participation has given Pine Street Church a prestigious voice in the community and in the denomination.
Worship services during the first year were held in a variety of places including the Senate chamber of the Capitol. Ashbel Green Simonton, a member of the congregation, who became an ordained missionary and founded the Presbyterian Church in Brazil, laid the building's cornerstone on May 12, 1859.. The original church structure was designed by Harrisburg architect, Luther M. Simon. In 1926 an extensive expansion, led by internationally known architect Ralph Adams Cram,[photo] was completed, giving us the beautiful building we enjoy today.
In 1916, Pine Street's Boyd Building was established to provide local men and boys numerous recreational programs under Christian auspices. There were bowling and basketball leagues, football and baseball teams, a summer camp, motion pictures, storytelling hours, checker tournaments, a boys' orchestra, glee club and a drum corps. By 1938 there were as many as thirty-two basketball teams. [photos of bowling, pool tables, basketball team] Over the years Pine Street has continued its outreach through the Boyd based on the changing needs of the community. It has been home to a coffee house, nursery kindergarten school, programs for older adults, and an inter-racial, inter-ethnic, inter-faith experience for children called Camp Understanding. Since 1981 the Boyd has been home to Downtown Daily Bread, which provides a nutritional lunch 7 days a week, 360 days a year to Harrisburg's homeless and economically disadvantaged.
For a fascinating, in-depth account of Pine Street's history, copies of A Birthplace and Nursery To Multitudes of Souls by local historian Susan E. Meehan are available by contacting the church office. Cost of the book is free to members and $20 for non-members.

Washington • Chris Kunitz scored a hat trick in the Pittsburgh Penguins' Super Bowl Sunday visit to the nation's capital, leading a 6-3 win over the Washington Capitals that reflected both teams' fortunes so far in the lockout-shortened season.
Kris Letang, Paul Martin and Matt Cooke also scored, Sidney Crosby had three assists, and Tomas Vokoun made 21 saves against his former team for the Penguins, who have won three straight and four of five to lead the Atlantic Division.
Mike Green, John Carlson and Mike Ribeiro scored for the Capitals and Carlson's goal was an accident that took a weird carom off a stanchion along the glass. Two-time league MVP Alex Ovechkin, who said before the game that he was somewhat embarrassed to have only three points on the season, contributed a secondary assist on a third-period power-play goal with Washington trailing by three.
Washington has lost seven of nine games to start the season.
Hosting the Penguins as a Super Bowl warm-up for the third straight year, the Capitals no longer look like the formidable team that beat Pittsburgh 5-4 in overtime with a hat trick from Ovechkin in 2010 and shut out the Penguins 3-0 a year ago
Devils 2, Islanders 0 • In Uniondale, N.Y., Johan Hedberg made 22 saves for his 22nd career shutout, leading New Jersey to a win over the Islanders.
