Question: Is Hepatitis a Sexually Transmitted Disease?

Answer: Some types of hepatitis are sexually transmitted disease (STDs). The viruses that cause them are present in a person's blood, semen, and body fluid. Hepatitis A, B, and C all can be passed from an infected person to another during sexual contact.

Hepatitis B is the one type of hepatitis that is most often spread through sexual contact. Hepatitis A can be spread through anal/oral contact. Researchers don't know exactly how hepatitis C is spread. But, they do know that hepatitis C is hard to get through sexual contact.

Sexual Transmission of HCV Rare, But Increasing

The sexual transmission of hepatitis C has generally been considered very rare, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that recent studies have found that sexual transmission of hepatitis C (HCV) can occur.

Usually, HCV is transmitted through non-digestive tract exposures to contaminated blood, usually through use of injection drugs and to a much lesser extent through exposures in health-care settings.

Some cases of HCV infection have been reported via occupational and perinatal exposure.

Only Exposure Another HCV Partner

Recent studies have found that sexual transmission of HCV can occur especially among HIV-infected persons. CDC data indicate that up to 10% of patients with acute HCV infection report that their only known contact for risk infection was with a known HCV-infected sex partner.

Studies of HCV transmissions between heterosexual or homosexual couples found low but increasing rates of HCV infection in partners of persons with HCV infection, compared with those who partners are not HCV infected.

HIV Infection Is a Factor

The CDC reports that several studies have found an increased risk for HCV infection linked to increasing numbers of sexual partners among heterosexuals and men who have sex with men, especially if those partners are HIV positive.

Some "clusters" of sexual transmission of HCV have been reported among men having sex with men in New York City and several European cities, the CDC reports. The clusters of HCV infection have been linked to HIV-infected men having sex with other HIV-infected men, group sex, as well as the use of cocaine and other non-intravenous drugs during sex.

Reduce the Risk of Hepatitis

To help reduce your risk of getting hepatitis sexually, use a male condom with every act of vaginal, oral, or anal intercourse.

Talk with your health care provider about getting a vaccine (an injection of a drug that you get when you are healthy that will protect you from getting sick) for hepatitis A and hepatitis B. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C.

DENVER—The father of a 17-year-old girl who was fatally shot at her suburban Denver high school said Wednesday that he and his wife have forgiven the killer, and he asked others to do the same.
Michael Davis said at a memorial service for his daughter Claire that the killer was blinded by anger and didn't know what he was doing.
"My wife and I forgive Karl Pierson for what he did," Davis said. "We would ask all of you here and all of you watching to forgive Karl Pierson. He didn't know what he was doing."
Sheriff's investigators say Pierson shot Claire Davis at Arapahoe County High School on Dec. 13. She died eight days later.
Pierson, 18, who was also a student at Arapahoe High, killed himself after shooting Davis.
Investigators say his target was a speech coach who had disciplined him, and Davis was a random victim.
Some law enforcement officers have vowed not to use Pierson's name and have referred to him publicly as "the murderer," but Michael Davis was conciliatory.
"The young man that shot Claire had a name. His name was Karl Pierson," Davis said, fighting back tears with his wife, Desiree, at his side.
Davis said Pierson "allowed himself to become filled with anger, rage and hatred. … The fact is that Karl was so blinded by his emotions he didn't know what he was doing."
Davis said his daughter's last words were to ask Pierson, "Oh my gosh, Karl, what are you doing?"
That was her way of trying to illuminate the emotional darkness that had enveloped Pierson, Davis said.
Pierson was carrying a shotgun, more than 125 shotgun shells, a machete and three homemade firebombs when he entered the school, investigators say. The school was quickly placed in lockdown and a sheriff's deputy assigned to the school, James Englert, ran to confront him, authorities said.
Pierson shot himself as Englert closed in.
Sheriff Grayson Robinson has said Englert's action to quickly confront Pierson prevented worse bloodshed.

(They do have a game in hand on the Islanders, which is a very sad parenthetical to write.) Fairly or not, much of the blame has fallen on Alexander Ovechkin, once a consensus Top-2 player in the world, now painted as an underachiever who doesn't seem to enjoy hockey anymore. Advertisement Ovechkin's numbers are solid if unspectacular, but he does disappear for entire games at a time. Last night was one of those games, a 4-1 loss in Philadelphia. The second of back-to-back games, and four days after a hat trick against the Devils, Ovechkin seemed to take the night off. Late and non-existent backchecking, dumb turnovers, a poorly timed shift change that gave the Flyers' a man advantage on their fourth goal, and this over-the-top attempt to draw a penalty: This image was lost some time after publication, but you can still view it here. Mike Milbury is an angry person in general. And Mike Milbury has tended to get after Ovechkin, for being soft and undisciplined and dirty and worst of all, European. Put it all together, with NBC Sports airing Caps-Flyers and the game being a blowout by the second intermission, and you get one of the all-time venomous Milbury rants. We're not sure how much of the rant Ovechkin heard—whether he heard Milbury urge him to "act like a man," tell him "he should be ashamed of himself," declare that "he fails the [superstar] test miserably." But afterwards, Ovechkin addressed Milbury's comments, however briefly. Advertisement "That's his point," Ovechkin said. "I don't listen to those guys. I don't listen to nobody on that. They can talk whatever they want, to be honest with you."What's Russian body language for "dismissive waking motion?" Milbury's spot-on, by the way. But as The Boy Who Cried Crap, he's melted down too many times for even his accurate criticism to register.Reply67 repliesLeave a reply

PHILADELPHIA -- Diabetic and prediabetic contestants on the TV show "The Biggest Loser" were off their medications within a few weeks of starting an intense exercise regimen, researchers reported.
For example, one man with a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 9.1, a body mass index (BMI) of 51, and who needed six insulin injections a day as well as other multiple prescriptions was off all medication by week 3, said Robert Huizenga, MD, the medical advisor for the TV show.
In addition, the mean percentage of weight loss of the 35 contestants in the study was 3.7% at week 1, 14.3% at week 5, and 31.9% at week 24 (P<0.001 for all), Huizenga reported here at the annual meeting of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.
"Diabetes is the fastest growing epidemic in recent history," Huizenga told MedPage Today. "Unfortunately, the morbidly obese and super obese with diabetes are an overlooked population."
Overall, Huizenga, from the University of California Los Angeles, said the current healthcare system fails diabetics. He cited as insufficient efforts to educate diabetic patients and evaluate their psychiatric and dietary needs.
Importantly, he said, "the fact that there is not a sports medicine team behind these people trying to lose weight is incorrect."
Before contestants went on the show, they averaged about 5 to 6 hours of TV watching a day and they were exercising about 120 minutes per week, close to the recommendations of the American Diabetes Association.
The exercise regimen for those appearing on "The Biggest Loser" comprised about 4 hours of daily exercise: 1 hour of intense resistance training, 1 hour of intense aerobics, and 2 hours of moderate aerobics.
Caloric intake was at least 70% of the estimated resting daily energy expenditure, Huizenga said.
The current retrospective study consisted of 17 men and 18 women who were followed for 24 weeks; 17 participants had normal glucose tolerance, 12 had prediabetes, and six had diabetes.
The mean age was 40; 28 were white, four were black, and three were Latino. The mean weight was 315 lbs and the mean BMI was 46 kg/m2.
Within 1 week, biomarkers for those with prediabetes and diabetes had already improved (all P<0.0005):
- Fasting glucose went from 91.1 to 75.1 mg/dL
- Fasting insulin from 14.1 to 5.5 µIU/mL
- Adiponectin from 8.6 to 10.5 µg/mL
HbA1c had an absolute reduction of 0.53% at 6 months (P=0.0003).
A positive change in blood pressure was almost immediately noticeable, Huizenga said. By week 5, it had declined from 138/90 to 123/76 mm Hg (P<0.0001) and everyone was off their blood pressure medication.
Interestingly, by week 5, "all diagnostic criteria for prediabetes, diabetes, and hypertension were absent in each participant, despite discontinuation of all diabetes and hypertension medications," according to the study.
Huizenga and colleagues found that at 24 weeks, the percentage of body fat decreased from 48% to 30% (P<0.0001), which Huizenga said is "somewhat more than is lost with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery."
Huizenga noted that participants decreased their average time in front of the TV or computer to 1 to 2 hours a day.
"We know being active is good for you, but we also know that sitting for hours a day has a negative effect. We found that our participants tended to sit less after going through the program," Huizenga said.
At the end of the program, participants are told to exercise for 90 minutes a day for the rest of their lives. Huizenga said he is often told by those listening to him that a daily 90-minute exercise regimen is impossible because everyone has such busy lives.
"I have a job and I work out from 90 to 100 minutes per day," he said. "It's about setting priorities. Time is not the issue; priorities are the issue."
Huizenga is a consultant for "The Biggest Loser." He reported no other conflicts of interest.

Linux Security: Easy as 1-2-3
As you entrust more and more vital network services to Linux, it's important to get each machine off to the right start.
"Linux is a secure OS."
You've probably heard this statement from time to time, and compared to Windows you could argue that it is. But really it's kind of a meaningless statement: no system which is connected to a network or used by human beings is completely secure, and if it was it would probably be useless.
But you can certainly beef up the security of a given Linux system to make it more secure than it would otherwise be - while still enabling it to do its job - and it's that process, known as hardening, that is the subject of this article. Without going in to the finer details, we'll be looking at the general steps you should take to harden any system under your control that warrants extra security beyond what you believe is necessary for your "normal" systems.
Before you can start the process of hardening a given system you need to have a clear idea of what they system is to be used for, what software it will therefore need to run, and the sorts of threats or vulnerabilities you want to protect against.
1. Start From Nothing
It's only possible to harden a system from a known secure state, and in practice this means starting from scratch with a bare system. This means you have the opportunity to partition the system's disk however you like, and it's a prudent security measure which costs nothing to separate the OS files from all the other data you'll be putting on it.
The next step is to configure a minimum install to get the system booted, and add in the extra packages you need to enable to the system to do the job you want it to. Why a minimum install? Because the less code on your machine, the less vulnerabilities there are waiting to be exploited: you can't exploit what isn't there. You'll also need to apply any security patches to the OS, or any of the packages running on it.
Build Custom Kernels
At this point it is worth noting that all the patching in the world is pointless if a potential attacker can get physical access to the machine - he could simply pick it up and walk off with it. So part of the process of hardening a server involves placing it in a secure environment. It's also possible that a more stealthy intruder who gains physical access to the server could boot the server from a CD-drive or other device and then browse, modify of steal any data the OS he boots into could see. (Booting a Windows server from a Linux CD is a classic way of gaining access to passwords in the supposedly secure Windows SAM database.) So it's wise to configure the system's BIOS to restrict booting to the system's internal hard drive, and to lock the BIOS and boot loader down with a strong password.
The next thing is to compile your own kernel, again including only the parts that you really need. Once your custom kernel is built and installed and you reboot into your kernel, you have a running system with a limited attack surface. But there are still plenty of ways to harden it further - the fun has only really just begun ...
2. Pare Down Services
Manage Linux Software
With a running, slimmed down system, the next step is to make sure that only the system services you really need are running. Most will have been weeded out by now, but it's still likely that some will still be running in the background. You'll have to track them down by looking in the various locations like /etc/init.d and /etc/rc.d/rc.local that hold boot scripts for various daemons, checking anything launched by cron, and so on. You can also check what services are listening on sockets using netstat or even a port mapper like Nmap.
Some of the services you should look at disabling if they are running (unless you specifically need them) include:
- Network file systems e.g. samba
- Printing services e.g. cups
- Mail services e.g. pop, imap, sendmail
- Remote access daemons e.g. telnetd, ftpd, rlogind
- X (window system)
Of course there'll be some services that you will wish to allow, and one way to limit the amount of potential damage they could do to the rest of the system is to run them in their own chroot jails when possible so that they are isolated from the rest of the file system.
3. Consider Permissions
Manage Linux Permissions
Mirroring the old spy diktat about "need to know", you can also harden your file system by ensuring that no user is given the power to do anything that is not strictly necessary. You can do this by performing an audit and reducing permissions for each file to the minimum possible, and ensuring that group permissions reflect the make-up of your groups. Ultimately, the aim is that no-one should be able to read or write files that they have no business to. You should also probably encrypt any particularly sensitive data.
The logical continuation of this is to make sure no-one can get access to accounts that they shouldn't by ensuring you have a secure root password known by as few administrators as practical, that other user credentials are up to date, and that policies like password expiry periods are adhered to. It's also very wise to remove any predefined accounts provided with default passwords, or to change the default passwords at the very least.
As had been said many times before, security is a process not a job. This means that to keep a machine in a hardened state it's vital that you keep watching and hardening it further when necessary. To do this you'll need to monitor the system and its logs, apply any patches in a timely fashion, and keep up with security news so you can deal with any vulnerabilities as soon as they become known. And remember that this article is not an exhaustive checklist - just a series of pointers to areas where there are opportunities to harden your systems.
There are always more steps you can take which will make your Linux system more secure and less productive. The key, as ever, is finding the right balance.

Comment Audio books (Score 2, Interesting) 563
Of course, 60 gigabytes won't be easy to fill with .mp3 files. I've got maybe 250 CDs collected over the years, and with every one of them ripped I've yet to fill half of my 30 Gb iPod. Until I started collecting audio books.
The real utility of a .mp3 player with that much capacity is the ability to hold multible audio books and audio periodicals. I've come to realize how nice it is to have something to listen to while I'm on break or on a flight that isn't the 30-favorite songs that everyone ends up playing no matter how many .mp3 files they've got. Audio book files are quite large, and to be able to store them and your collection of music files requires drives big enough to be pretty much overkill for music alone.

"You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question."
The "charm" quote is from Albert Camus. (Does Camus warrant his own tag here on the Althouse blog? Click on it and see!)
Anyway, getting beyond the "charm" point, there's more (from this WaPo column by Peter Wehner): Republicans don't like the Clintons. (Let's ignore Ann Coulter's latest stunt to get FoxNews to aim cameras at her.) And why shouldn't Republicans want the President, if he/she is to be a Democrat, to be someone who offers to bring us together?
His biggest problem winning over conservatives and moderates is that he's a big liberal. Is that going to change? Wehner thinks it could, especially if Obama learns from... Bill Clinton.

Is this something Obama showed while in the Senate? Or is this something, like Romney's conservatism, that we are just supposed to believe because he is using it as a campaign slogan.
Do we see evidence of unity and hope in his interactions with Republicans over that last years? What kind of inspiring leadership, across-the-aisle cooperation, and forward thinking positive proposals has Obama shown? Or is it just hope that people don't look past the speeches and at actions? - 2/3/08, 10:09 AM

"...someone who offers to bring us together?"
Why is that a good thing? In times like these, we need argument and discussion. God save us from another unified government!
It's only a fringe on both sides that is destructive. Most of us want the same things: prosperity, help for the needy, the spread of American values.
We'll never have the "answer" so let us go forward in disunity to preserve the republic and do the best we can. (Thank you, de Toqueville.) - 2/3/08, 10:12 AM
- JSF said...
From Nixon forward, Democrats have always been about criminalizing Conservatives or Republicans. They get to use hate speech with no reprecussions.
Senator Obama is a breath of fresh air. He says he diagrees with policy, not personality. If Obama is nominated, there will be "Obama Republicans" this election cycle.
Because, Democrats, you get more with being nice to someone you disagree with, than finding other Americans as the enemy. - 2/3/08, 10:22 AM

An example I like was putting cameras in police interrogation rooms. Civil libertarians and black leaders like the idea for obvious reasons. Police officers not so much. Obama worked with the police in Illinois and convinced them that cameras:
-Result in speedier trials, without the he said she said
-Prevent personal lawsuits against the officers by prisoners who say they were harshly interrogated
Cameras are now required by an Illinois state law sponsored by Obama, and the Illinois police have encouraged other states to do the same. I think it's an excellent example of convincing the other side instead of waging war on them. - 2/3/08, 10:37 AM

Bill Clinton ran an intellectually creative race whose ideas appealed to non-Democrats.
Then why did the Newties push their Contract with America? I'm pretty sure they considered Bill "A Chicken in Every Pot, and a Homo in Every Barracks" Clinton to be the Anti-Christ.
Democrats, you get more with being nice to someone you disagree with, than finding other Americans as the enemy.
Did Gingrich know this? How about Karl Rove? The only Republicans I know who reached across the aisle are the RINO Schwarzenegger (who had no choice with a Democrat-controlled legislature), and the political speech-suppressing McCain who found a kindred spirit in Feingold. - 2/3/08, 10:51 AM

But what Democrat has ever crossed the line to back Conservatives? Or even Conservative speech? Not the Clintons, they did a good job using their FBI files against them.
Not Pelosi, read the book, "Congressional Fight Club" and she has reneged on every promise made to Republicans.
Senator Reid? When has he ever reached out to the GOP?
FLS, do try to stay relevent to the times. And why must Consrervatives always reach out to Democrats? What responsibility does the Left have to bi-partisanship? - 2/3/08, 10:56 AM

re: Obama's record of bipartisanship, Chicago machine politics,etc.:
jef: as a classic Lakefront Liberal and "goo-goo" reformer (Think Abner Mikva, or Paul Douglas) Obama was the product of corrupt Chicago Democratic Party machine politics only in the sense that John McCain was the product of the Hanoi Hilton -- as something to fight at every turn.
jsf: I merely pointed out that the partisan pot is pointing out the kettle's partisanship. If the partisan pot wants to take another turn, fine. - 2/3/08, 11:13 AM

Here's the link to former law's Harper's article...
"...Obama has delivered for his constituents—for social activists, but also for business groups whose demands are invariably more costly....Ethanol...survives only because members of Congress from farm states, whether liberal or conservative, have for decades managed to win billions of dollars in federal subsidies to underwrite its production. It is not, of course, family farmers who primarily benefit from the program but rather the agribusiness giants such as Illinois-based Aventine Renewable Energy and Archer Daniels Midland (for which ethanol accounts for just 5 percent of its sales but an estimated 23 percent of its profits). Ethanol production, as Tad Patzek of UC Berkeley's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering wrote in a report this year, is based on "the massive transfer of money from the collective pocket of the U.S. taxpayers to the transnational agricultural cartel."
Since arriving on Capitol Hill, Obama has been as assiduous as any member of Congress in promoting ethanol. He has introduced a number of measures that benefit the industry—such as the "Obama Amendment" that offered oil companies a 50 percent tax credit for building stations that offer E85 fuel—and voted for the corporate-welfare-laden 2005 energy bill, which offered billions in subsidies to ethanol producers...
Ah, the Senator from the Great State of Ethanol... - 2/3/08, 12:22 PM

Titan, great example. Thanks for sharing it.
Of course, now I'm remember that being able to work with the other side was one of the top arguments for Bush when he ran in 2000. Didn't they even trot out Democrats from the Texas legislature who were supporting Bush? Maybe there's a change that happens when a person goes from a state to national politics. - 2/3/08, 12:27 PM

A commenter at Poligazette hit the nail on the head yesterday: Obama's interest (whether he admits it in as many words or not) is "in uniting the Democratic party, not the country - ... lefties tend to think that once the left prevails, everyone else will see the wisdom of their plans (so perhaps he really believes that those goals are one in the same, because if he unites the left then the right will eventually have to fall in line.)
... [W]hen he says we all have to give a bit, but then in the same speech talks about how awful Republicans have been- isn't he really asking everyone on the left to give a bit, to unite against their common enemy, the right?" - 2/3/08, 12:44 PM
- Simon said...
former law student said...
"['Democrats, you get more with being nice to someone you disagree with, than finding other Americans as the enemy?'] Did Gingrich know this? How about Karl Rove?"
Did they succeed? I would argue that they both failed. They succeeded to an extent, but it seems to me that a significant amount of the Contract with America is as valid as a platform today as it was in 1994 precisely because provisions either couldn't be passed or didn't stick. - 2/3/08, 12:51 PM
- Simon said...
Oh, and the answer to the question - "What is at the core of Obama's appeal?" - is obvious: people want to be lied to. People want a pony, and they like someone who makes them feel like s/he'll give them one. Subconsciously, they know it's a lie, so they subconsciously choose not to look too deeply.
- rcocean said...
Obama lost me with his last love-in debate with Hillary. I couldn't tell them apart except that Hillary seemed more conservative.
I assumed Obama was more of a populist/anti-corporate democrat but the debate showed he's just as much of a corporate globalist as Hillary. You see according to Obama massive illegal and legal immigration actually *helps* poor blacks. Huh? And drivers license's for illegals are a good thing. Double Huh? - 2/3/08, 1:31 PM
- P. Rich said...
MoveOn.org has endorsed Obama.
- Alan said...
Hillary seemed more authoritarian to me in the last debate. But I guess that could be construed as conservative.
In the last debate they both said they agreed on 95% of everything. The five percent they didn't agree on, Obama seemed to worry about the unintended consequences of Hillary's plans. Because of that, Obama came across as more conservative. But then, we are talking about liberal causes. :) - 2/3/08, 1:43 PM
- Alan said...
Simon, those who love to be lied to are Hillary voters and Republican voters.
- Simon said...
Alan - oh, killer rejoinder. "No, you're the ones who like to be lied to!" It's a new kind of politics, I'm told.
- Alan said...
Ha ha, Simon. Republicans supposedly vote for limited and less intrusive government....
Yeah, and Hillary is as honest as they come. That's why everyone predicts her to be Nixon in a pant suit. Albeit without Nixon's foreign policy acumen. - 2/3/08, 1:59 PM

- Doug said...
Simon, Alan's "killer rejoinder" wasn't really that much dumber than the comment that prompted it.
I mean, we get it already: You're The Cynical Guy Who Thinks Everybody In Politics Sucks. The really ironic thing is, as someone who goes on and on about what he's against but has never really articulated anything he's for, you sound a lot like those Democrats in 2004 who were (rightly) criticized for not having any kind of platform other than Bush Sucks.
In the end, nothing you've said here has had any more substance than what Obama has said -- but at least he's fun to listen to. What's your excuse? - 2/4/08, 10:05 AM
- Alan said...
Yeah, Obama is the more liberal candidate. Of course, he's not the one who wants to assert monetary policy by freezing interest rates for five years. That would be the more "conservative" candidate, Hillary. He's not the one who wants to force everyone into government healthcare coverage. That would be the more "conservative" candidate, Hillary. Some voters may even assert that Hillary's plans are dumb because they don't account for unintended consequences. Obama has those concerns. Which makes him the more "liberal" candidate. Upside down is right side up.
- Simon said...
Doug said...
"[W]e get it already: You're The Cynical Guy Who Thinks Everybody In Politics Sucks."
I don't think everyone in politics sucks. I think that everyone in politics are politicians, and the most dangerous politicians are those like Obama who have plainly not grasped the lessons of public choice theory and insist on presenting themselves as post-partisan.
"The really ironic thing is, as someone who goes on and on about what he's against but has never really articulated anything he's for, you sound a lot like those Democrats in 2004 who were (rightly) criticized for not having any kind of platform other than Bush Sucks."
I'm not running for office, so it's not my burden to lay out in detail the kind of administration I'd run. I'm perfectly to talk about what sort of policy agenda I'd like to see, but this isn't my blog so I'm limited to what's germane to the subject at hand. I'll say this much: it's probably faster to just refer you to Gingrich's book - apart from the chapters on religion judges, which I'd add some caveats to, there's very little in terms of policy that he lays out there that I wouldn't subscribe to. In very, very general terms, I'm for appointing (to use Easterbrook's term) legalists - that is, formalists, textualists, legal process school, and so forth - to the federal judiciary, tapering the federal government's activities and spending (in particular I want to hear a candidate's roadmap for eliminating entitlement spending by 2020 - I certainly don't want to be told we're going to increase it), I'm for eliminating as much taxation as possible (I thought Thompson phrased this very well: "a dollar belongs in the pocket of the person who earns it, unless the government has a compelling reason why it can use it better"), I'm for regulation when regulation helps the market and against it when it doesn't; I'm for Ted Olson as AG, I'm for John Bolton as Secretary of State, and I'm for a robust military that we can and do use to further our interests when necessary.
Lastly I think it's laughable to suggest that what I put forward here is as insubstantial as Obama's vapid schtick - you can disagree with what I say (as I'm sure you will), but let's not play make believe. - 2/4/08, 12:44 PM
- Doug said...
Well, vapid is as vapid does, Simon, and while "people want to be lied to" certainly has the makings of a spot-on H.L. Mencken impression -- you could even take that on the road! -- it certainly doesn't amount to a substantial criticism of Obama's positions. Yeah, I know, you've said over and over again that he doesn't have any positions, but we both know that isn't true; all that is is laziness, the idea that simply denying the existence of any positions frees you from any responsibility to deal with them directly. That's the real "make-believe" here, and it's far more vapid than anything that's come out of Sen. Obama's mouth over the course of this campaign.
- Simon said...
Doug, perhaps if he actually talked about his policies, that'd be a stronger criticism. But he doesn't, and if he did, he'd have been DOA. The criticisms of his policies are boilerplate and uninteresting because his policies are boilerplate and uninteresting. What's vapid and distressing is the way he presents himself on the trail as a post-partisan who purports to be seeking compromise when that's self-evidently untrue.
- Doug said...
Once again, you're trafficking in nothing more than take-it-for-granted assumptions. He doesn't talk about his policies? He did at the last event I went to. "If he did, he'd have been DOA"? An assumption you seem to want to portray as fact. "Self-evidently untrue"? All that demonstrates to me is that you don't know what "self-evident" means. Look, I understand, you don't like the guy, and that's fine. Different strokes for different folks. But your repeated insistence on trying to dress up "I don't like him" as actual, substantive political discourse only makes you look silly.

Talk:Video capture card
From MythTV Official Wiki
Should this be merged with Capture Card Matrix?
It seems this article and Capture Card Matrix are swirling around a lot of common information. In my opinion, one single, centralized article citing all the good, bad, and ugly cards is good. Then, someone reading can either venture off into the hardware realm, or into the driver realm from this central location. I'll post this on the Talk:Capture Card Matrix as well. --Gregturn 05:38, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- It would appear Tuner Card should also be considered in this effort. --Gregturn 03:58, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

There's not much that has 'stuck' with me recently. I gave up on Alphas after the first season. Same with Grimm, Teen Wolf and several other shows. I can see me ditching Continuum season 2 as well. I keep finding myself watching things because I think I should be enjoying them, only to find that I am not...
Continuum is a Candian show made by Showcase, season two is on track and syfy can't do shit to stop it. That anhedonia you're talking about is how they explain serial killers, don't chu know? Season two was trying to make a show so gritty that it just clearly wasn't capable of.
I lost interest in Alphas early on in the first season (plus some real life issues made it hard to find time to watch it) but I decided to try it again and really liked season 2. A shame it won't be back.
I just watched through both seasons of this a month or two ago, and I thought it was pretty decent. I really liked Gary, and his relationship with Bill, and I liked that the show tried to delve into the downside (both physical and psychological) of having such tremendous abilities. It wasn't my favorite show or anything, but it kept me interested enough that I wouldn't have minded seeing another season. Oh well.
I LOVED Alphas. The whole production style, acting, cinematography, writing, was far and above the typical SyFy series.
I guess they had to pay for Defiance somehow. It's like when you're fucking up at Monopoly, or trying to win the game in less than 20 minutes, and you keep having to sell your houses back tot he bank and mortgage your existing properties to buy yet more newer properties... "For gods sake! It's Park Place! I don't care if I have to flip everything else! That son of a bitch is mine!"
Only if you don't look at the big picture. Plenty of shows have been cancelled this season. According to TV By the Numbers's "Bubble Watch," ABC has already cancelled or ended three shows this season and is likely to cancel at least two more, with another two "on the bubble." CBS has cancelled two shows and is likely to cancel two more, with two on the bubble. NBC has cancelled one and is ending two, with two other likely cancellations and three on the bubble. FOX has cancelled or ended two, is certain to cancel a third, and has two on the bubble. The CW has cancelled one, ended one, and has four on the bubble. TNT cancelled the long-running Leverage. USA cancelled its 2-year-old Fairly Legal and its 1-year-old Common Law. So plenty of shows have been cancelled this year, most of them after one season or less. That's par for the course in any year. But Syfy has only cancelled one of its original scripted shows this season. Alphas is out, but Warehouse 13, Haven, and Being Human are still going strong. (I'm not counting Eureka, since the decision to end it was made in 2011.) So that's only 1/4 of the network's current scripted offerings getting the axe. That's no worse than the percentage of shows being axed on the other networks, and quite possibly better. And while many of the shows cancelled by other networks were in their first season, Alphas at least got two seasons. The last time Syfy cancelled a show after only one season was with Caprica in 2010, and the time before that was Flash Gordon in 2008. Indeed, throughout its life, Syfy/Sci-Fi has only cancelled nine original scripted shows in their first seasons, out of 23 cancellations in all (going by Wikipedia's list of the network's shows -- though my count may be a little rough). Add the current shows and that's ~26 scripted shows, with ~17 (nearly 2/3) lasting more than one season and ~11 (better than 40%) lasting more than two seasons. I doubt you could say the same for other networks. So it would be completely untrue to characterize Syfy as a premature show-killer. Cancellation is simply a fact of life on television, and most shows die young. Genre shows in particular have a hard time surviving because they cost more to make and attract smaller audiences. (Both of ABC's freshman genre shows this season got axed.) But overall, Syfy's track record with cancellations is no worse than, and arguably better than, most other networks' track records. I think it's just that genre shows tend to attract more devoted followings, so their cancellations attract more notice and evoke stronger feelings than the cancellation of something like Made in Jersey or Guys with Kids. Not to mention that Syfy's shows are generally better than something like 666 Park Avenue. So even if they aren't cancelled sooner or more often than other shows on other networks, their cancellations have more of an impact, so it feels more unfair. Which is why it's valuable to look at the big picture and get some perspective. I'd rather they didn't do that. It was a bad idea to cross the two shows over to the extent that they did. Crossing over Eureka and Warehouse 13 was problematical enough; not only were they different genres (soft SF vs. magic-realist fantasy), but they had incompatible laws of time travel (time was mutable on Eureka but immutable on W13 -- although the latest season of W13 abandoned that rule without explanation). But at least they were similar in tone so it wasn't a complete mismatch. But crossing over the broad, fanciful universe of W13 with the much more naturalistic, solemn Alphas universe was just wrong. And it seemed like something Alphas did reluctantly and under network pressure, since, although they used Lindsay Wagner's character, they carefully avoided mentioning the existence of the Warehouse, Artifacts, or anything of the sort. I choose to believe the universes are unconnected but simply have separate versions of a character named Dr. Vanessa Calder.
Good points, Christopher. Indeed, in a universe in which big network shows are routinely canceled midway through their first seasons (sometimes after only one or two eps!), I've never quite understood the "Syfy cancels everything good!" refrain that tends to pop whenever a fan-favorite genre show gets axed--often after three or four or even five seasons! Most freshman shows get cancelled. Genre shows on cable actually tend to have better chances of survival than most. It's almost as though we've convinced ourselves that every genre show is entitled to at least seven seasons--and that anything less is an outrage.
I liked David Strathairn and the pretty cast, but the show itself didn't really hold my interest. I won't miss it.
It's also worth pointing out the difference between broadcast and cable networks. Broadcast networks can cancel a show anytime -- even after just two episodes, as with this season's Made in Jersey -- and don't have to bother to air the remaining episodes. But cable networks, or stations that pick up syndicated programs, commit to show the entire season, always. An NBC or CW or, yes, FOX show could be pulled midway through with unaired episodes (though the current FOX regime has been much less likely to do that than its predecessors), but a cable show is guaranteed to get all the episodes of a season aired, no matter how crummy its ratings are. The only shows SciFi/Syfy has ever cancelled midseason have been reruns it acquired from other networks, like Charlie Jade. (Which means it could theoretically happen with something like Continuum or Primeval: New World.) Which just shows how much better genre fans have it today than they did when I was growing up. Back then, it was pretty much unheard of for a US genre show to get more than 5 seasons, and quite rare to get even that much. (I can only think of four pre-TNG genre shows that ran five seasons: Space Patrol (the 1950 kids' series), The Twilight Zone, The Six Million Dollar Man, and The Incredible Hulk.) Most genre shows lasted one season, two or three if they were very lucky. TNG's success in first-run syndication really changed the playing field in a lot of ways.
Just one point. When Syfy pulled Charlie Jade from prime time, they did continue to air the remaining episodes. Yes,it was at 3:00 AM Tuesday mornings, or something. But they did honor the contract and let them all air. It illustrates once they have paid for something, it will make it to air. Charlie Jade
Christopher's analysis is just about right. SyFy doesn't cancel programs any more than any other major network, be they broadcast or cable. The only thing I would add is that the network's production schedule seems to be one that doesn't allow for serialized shows (even ones that have been on the air for several years) to wrap up their stories with much satisfaction. Witness the cliffhanger cancellations of Sliders, Stargate: Universe, Farscape, and now Alphas as well as the haphazard eleventh hour conclusions of Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, Caprica, and Eureka. That kind of treatment makes cultivating a committed fan base a bit hard, I think. (Although in writing that, I'm not sure it's really all that different from any other channel.)
You must have misunderstood the sign. Charlie Jade is very good. The first 5 or 6 episodes are pretty confusing and difficult to get your bearings and understand the different 'verses and travel between them and so forth, because you are seeing the show through Charlie Jade's eyes, as he learns stuff. Once you get your bearings, though, it's a fantastic show, every bit as graphic, gritty, and realistic (and more so) as NuBSG, but, wth a character providing more obvious humor t break up the drama and hopelessness, so, you never get the feeling of wanting to slit your your wrists that NuBSG somtimes left you. For longevity's sake, it was perhaps a mistake to make the audience as ignorant and confused as the lead character, but, it's definitely worth sticking with until the end.
Indeed. This tends to happen to shows on other networks as well. Look at, for example, THE 4400 and THE DEAD ZONE on USA. Although, again, both of those shows ran for four seasons or so, which is not a bad run, both today and in the past!
Didn't the Dead Zone have a finale season or at least episode? I thought they had some warning but I never paid attention.
The Dead Zone actually got six seasons. And IIRC, it did indeed have an unresolved cliffhanger finale -- the same kind of finale as a lot of the mentioned shows, in that it tied up the arcs of the season and kind of worked as a series finale, but still left a lot unresolved.
Christopher, Greg - I think you both missed the word "reputation" in my last post, but I'll also amend it a bit to "cancelling sci-fi shows".
I'm working my way through. Almost up to season six and they already resolved senator doomsday. So they're going to have to set up a new big bad for the final season.

About: This letter proposes a new multiple linear regression model using regularized correntropy for robust pattern recognition. First, we motivate the use of correntropy to improve the robustness of the classicalmean square error (MSE) criterion that is sensitive to outliers. Then an l1 regularization scheme is imposed on the correntropy to learn robust and sparse representations. Based on the half-quadratic optimization technique, we propose a novel algorithm to solve the nonlinear optimization problem. Second, we develop a new correntropy-based classifier based on the learned regularization scheme for robust object recognition. Extensive experiments over several applications confirm that the correntropy-based l1 regularization can improve recognition accuracy and receiver operator characteristic curves under noise corruption and occlusion. Changes:Initial Announcement on mloss.org.
About: Robust sparse representation has shown significant potential in solving challenging problems in computer vision such as biometrics and visual surveillance. Although several robust sparse models have been proposed and promising results have been obtained, they are either for error correction or for error detection, and learning a general framework that systematically unifies these two aspects and explore their relation is still an open problem. In this paper, we develop a half-quadratic (HQ) framework to solve the robust sparse representation problem. By defining different kinds of half-quadratic functions, the proposed HQ framework is applicable to performing both error correction and error detection. More specifically, by using the additive form of HQ, we propose an L1-regularized error correction method by iteratively recovering corrupted data from errors incurred by noises and outliers; by using the multiplicative form of HQ, we propose an L1-regularized error detection method by learning from uncorrupted data iteratively. We also show that the L1-regularization solved by soft-thresholding function has a dual relationship to Huber M-estimator, which theoretically guarantees the performance of robust sparse representation in terms of M-estimation. Experiments on robust face recognition under severe occlusion and corruption validate our framework and findings. Changes:Initial Announcement on mloss.org.

How to add an extra set of RCA outputs
So I made a chip amp with a simple pot for volume control as well as a 3 position rotary switch for 3 inputs, though I would like to add an output.
How do I successfully add a RCA output to this without loosing quality? I want another output for the addition of another amplifier. I don't care if it is controlled by the volume or not. Any help would be great, as I don't have the funds to invest in a preamp. Thx, RG |

Hi, Just to remind people,like in real life as in audio there is no free lunch.
Nothing exists in isolation if you bother to ponder about it.That's the reality of this universe as you percieve it.Without going into science or esoteric knowledge,common sense says you simply parallel the existing output but if you find it objectionable for the percieved drop in quality then you are obliged to find out why and not simply ask from god or someone else.Of course the usual thing is to buffer the output so impedance does not matter much but if you still find it objectional hey welcome to the real world.Hope this does not sound offensive to anyone,it's not intended to. Singa Someone beat me to it.... |

Sorry, I got a mixup between inputs and outputs.The output of a chip amp
is already optimised by the designer so one has to take as is because it is already large signal( amplified) and low impedance so it's not practical to buffer as I suggested,there is no neccessity and not practical given the power level(signal conditioning).If you want to minimise distortion one would design optimally at the preamp stage with regards noise and signal integrety.But given the nature of chip amps again you have to accept the IC amp in its entirety good or bad. singa |

I agree. If you want to build a dominate WR unit, it's gotta be from the split-end to in, not from the slot to out. Dominating X receivers open the whole offense up. Dominating slot receivers convert first downs, and maintain drives. Cruz actually can make big plays too, which is also very valuable asset.
The problem with a tender is you can lose the player:
Excerpt: "Restricted free agents -- three-year players with expiring contracts -- can receive offers from other teams, but the incumbent team has a right to match. Should it not match, it is entitled to draft-choice compensation corresponding to the level of tender placed on the player.
Personnel experts usually identify the time between the third and fifth year of a player's career as the "sweet spot" in the player's performance arc, meaning there's sufficient development without excessive wear and tear. And from a front office vantage point, teams would rather pay a discounted price for a restricted free agent than pay "retail" for unrestricted free agents. Yet RFAs have been largely ignored. Let's analyze the recent past:" Read more...
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Reese never overpays and that won't change with Cruz, the contract will be beneficial to the team and Cruz, I could see a lot of incentives involved.
Well if 2013 is a repeat of 2012 obviously not.
...but when I hear "injury issues" or "injury prone", a player like Bradshaw is what comes to mind... he's had bad feet, he had bad feet this year and no doubt will have bad feet in the future. Nicks broke his foot THIS year, he came back nearly recovered had a 200 yard game and then had his almost fully healed foot stepped on and had obvious setbacks. Next season will tell if hes injury prone, not what happened this year.

Tennessee WRC Set to Approve 2010-11 Seasons
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission will set the state's 2010-11 hunting seasons at its May meeting. The TWRC will meet at the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Ray Bell Region II Building.
Committee meetings will be held beginning at 1 p.m. on May 19 and the commission meeting starts at 9 a.m. on May 20. The public is invited to attend.
TWRA officials previewed their recommendations for the 2010-11 hunting and trapping seasons at the commission's April meeting.
Among the recommendations presented at the April meeting, no changes were presented concerning deer season dates or to standard antlered and antlerless bag limits. The agency did propose to liberalize antlerless muzzleloader opportunities in six Unit B counties (Anderson, Claiborne, Grainger, Greene, Hancock, and Johnson) by moving them from the 5-day to the 14-day antlerless hunt.
TWRA is recommending the elimination of all special season deer quota hunts and creating comparable non-quota hunt opportunities. Regarding special fall turkey hunts, TWRA is proposing their elimination and creating comparable non-quota hunt opportunities. There would be no changes to the spring turkey dates or to the standard bag limits.
The TWRA is recommending that all feral hogs and wild boar will now be referred to as wild hogs. TWRA is recommending the elimination of internet check-in for bears to allow for better data collection and to improve the agency's enforcement capabilities.
The agency has proposed to the TWRC that hunters be required to check-in animals on the calendar day in which they are harvested.
TWRA is seeking to establish quota hunt drawings for waterfowl hunts on Bogota WMA, Gooch WMA Unit E, and Thorny Cypress WMA. The drawings would provide quality waterfowl hunting opportunities for more than 1,200 waterfowl hunters over the course of a 60-day duck season.
David McKinney, TWRA Environmental Services Division Chief, is going to ask the commission to consider a resolution to TVA requesting a comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The statement would be in regard to the off-site, in-state disposal of coal ash from Kingston and other TVA coal fired facilities.

I've been fighting with myself for the past month over whether to…
Why Apple wins, why Nokia loses
Reviews: Nokia, HTC & Apple
For the past two months I've been with out my trusty iPhone. And sure, a devastating issue for anyone addicted to being validated (Twitter) and minutia (Facebook) of daily life.
But what an eye opener. I tried both the HTC Nexus One and the Nokia N8.
Let's start with Nokia.
Now, I'm am (was) a big fan of Nokia ever since m first 3210, my 8250 and most recently my Nokia e61i. All great phones on some great software for their time.
But Nokia, how dare you ever consider the Nokia N8 a touch screen mobile phone. I honestly would rather to have an ice pick through each hand than use this pile of plastic rubbish, ever again.
Trying to make Symbian a touch screen operating system is like using glue to hold steel together. It was not, and still isn't designed for the intuition of a total-touch screen device. No clear user paths, poor interface, no battery life, crap email functionality, and data input (the linchpin of access devices) is an utter nightmare.
The HTC was better, but still, the Android OS gave no sense of "environment" the same way iOS does. You don't really feel like you belong anywhere. I found everything clunky and the touch was very unnatural.
So, here I am, back at Apple. Where they look at the massive crack in the screen and pull my customer record. And guess what? They reward me for my loyalty (read occasional fanboyism). They replace my phone with a complimentary device and send me away happier than ever.
Great phone, supported with amazing customer loyalty recognition. If only other phone companies could get this right.
I know why Apple are winning, I know why I'm an advocate of what they do. But I don't know what Nokia were thinking.

[url removed, login to view] development using ADO. 3-tier style of programming
- Status Closed
- Budget $250 - $750 USD
- Total Bids 23
Project Description
I need a developer to make enhancements to a sales commission software.
Every week a small project with a fixed price will be assigned.
I am the senior software developer for my company and I am looking for an assistant that I give some of the easier programming projects to, so I can focus more on design work.
You must have good [url removed, login to view] experience. we are using vb 2010. Currently we use [url removed, login to view] to connect to an Access 97 DB, but we will be swapping this out for MS SQL server by the end of the year (this is one of many projects you will work on).
The software does a lot of crystal reporting (over 40 reports) and a lot of financial calculations and database storage and retrieval.
If you have [url removed, login to view] skills and are interested in permanent part-time work, this is for you. I will do most of the designing, you will do the programming and your code must conform to our coding style and standards. This is not a job for an individual who likes to things "his/her" way. You will be part of a team. Also because we do not need someone with high-level design experience, we are estimating the value of the work to be between $12 - $15 per hour. But to avoid problems, I will estimate how hours the project would take me and then give the project a fixed price. If you are late, or your code contains obvious bugs, you will not be hired again or paid for your low quality work.
But it could be very good experience working on a very large (millions of lines of source code) software system.
To get things started you will be interviewed about your experience and if that goes well, you will be given a small project the first week. If this is completed on-time and bug-free, then we know we can work together. Please do not waste my time if you are not a good [url removed, login to view] developer with experience coding DATABASE applications using [url removed, login to view] and crystal reports. some experience with complex financial calculations is also a plus. thank you in advance for considering being a part of our growing development team.

Tonight I was using my new TS2410ls table saw and for the first time I used the stock miter gauge to make some miter cuts. After about 4 passes on the left miter slot I noticed some scratches in the table top as a result of the miter guage sliding on the table. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this a problem with all aluminum table tops? Is there anything that I can do to prevent this? Overtime does moving boards across the top leaves marks as well? It apears to just be a scuff in the finish, does anyone out there that is familiar with this table saw know of a way to "buff" out scratches in this finish?
No announcement yet.

Re: ts2410 tabletop help
Is there a coating I can put on it to make it last longer without transferring on the wood-wax or something similar?
Since it is a "teflon coating" I do not know how to take care of it. Maybe some PAM cooking spray
I know tools are made to get used, but I still like them to look good for as long as I can.
Does anything in either the 3-year warranty or the LSA cover this?
My guess would be no, but I thought I would ask the experts.
Re: ts2410 tabletop help
Probably would not hurt using some Awl-Grip clear.
Then just wax the top of that.
You can buff out light scratches, when needed.
You don't have to spray Awl-Grip either, it can be self leveling with brushing it on.
It is a 4 part epoxy based paint, that is used on aircraft, etc.. for this exact reason, it is highly resistant to chips and scratching.

Solvik is MF's sports cabin on Värmdö right outside out Stockholm. It is a group of small cabins by the lakeside in moderately distant Beatelund. You can come here when you want to have a party, sauna, go canoeing, hang with friends, walk in the woods, lay in the sun, study with peace and quiet or watch passing boats.
At Solvik there are plenty of beds, jetties, a sauna and boats. The kitchen is equipped including dish washer and it is possible to cook for around 30 people. During the autumn-, spring- and winter-season Solvik is rented per day and in the summer per week. Taking the bus from Slussen and then walking the last bit takes about 40 minutes. Driving is of course faster
