Topics of Discussion[edit]
- Kif and Amy's relationship wasn't pre-planned
- Wes' first episode.
- Matt suggested having the angry dome visible
- The writers thought jumping out of pants was something that happened often in Casper, but it wasn't. So Lee Supercinski, a post production supervisor, had to look through hours of footage.
- The Ship-to-ship intimacy animation is incorrectly (and ironically) attributed to the James Bond film Moonraker. The correct film is You Only Live Twice.
- Kif now has more pictures of Amy in his quarters.
- Similarity between the Holo-Shed and Star Trek's holo-deck.
- Whether the moon was a reused model or not.
- The term Smizmar.
- Bender is in the locker because the room is so small, explaining it in the episode wasn't as interesting as just putting him in there.
- Spinning rides at carnivals.
- There was a debate about whether Amy should be the biological parent, this way she is only really abandoning her relationship (briefly), not her children as well.
- Pointing out the jokes on the Calendar.
- Crowd scene dialogue is often not written in detail and the actors just say random things. Fry mentioning his face being stuck in pizza is an example of this.
- Kif often shakes.
- Billy did make Zoidberg's crying noise.
- Scruffy's jokes take three times as long as most other jokes.
- The content written for Amphibios 9 was enough for an entire additional episode, Kif visited the tree where he grew up, met his old neighbours, saw his family and all his old friends, he needed to get instructions for the quest to the birthing grounds, there was a river, they camped out overnight and they needed to collect three items in the forest including an egg from the top of a mountain for the tea.
- Footage of the birthing process.
- Took a cheap way out by making the children not need to be taken care of.
- Though it could be a spin-off.
Highlights / Quotes[edit]
Unknown [During development]: Four million lines of BASIC? Not even one percent of the audience is going to get that.
Eric Kaplan [During development]: Screw them.
- David's phone rings, he's not used to getting reception in that room.
Related DVD Features[edit]
- Some of the extra content on Amphibios 9 apparently made it into the Animatic, and therefore should be in the storyboards found on the DVD, but there isn't anything that isn't also in the deleted scenes.

Game Review: Rage (Xbox 360)
Rage is a first-person shooter set in a futuristic world of mutants and bandits in a fight for survival action game. 106 years after being put in stasis you awaken in an Ark, a vessel intended to preserve humankind. You were one of several hundred selected to continue on after the asteroid impact with Earth nearly destroyed it in 2029. The only problem is that I am the only survivor of the Ark I was sleeping in. As I awaken and make my way to see the world in front of me, I realize things haven't been going so well. Mutants and bandits make life hard for the pockets of humans that have continued to survive. And for this group called The Authority? Who knows what they are up to…that is until I expose their dastardly plans.
I am pretty excited as I start out on my adventure. The story seems like it is going to be deep. I remember a lot of hype surrounding Rage when it was about to be released. The initial story seemed to be pretty cool, worthy of a good Hollywood plot. As I emerge from my stasis I am immediately attacked by some thugs who call themselves Ghost clan. After a battle with them, Dan Hagar (played by John Goodman), a wasteland settler brings me to his humble establishment. He gives me minimal information as to what is going on. Before too long, I find myself doing him favors such as transporting things to other settlements. For these favors I am rewarded with money, cars, or weapons. As the game moves on, I find that my time 106 years after I was buried in an Ark underground has been reduced to being somebody's bitch. Once I have done all I can for Dan, I end up in Wellspring for more of the same. The sheriff and the mayor have nothing but favors to ask of me. Again, more of get this, help them, and deliver that. Still, at this point I have no idea why the world has turned out the way it has…other than an asteroid caused some significant global changes and The Authority is up to something
The graphics and the gameplay are cool; probably best part of the game. I spend most of my time running and gunning; getting between the settlements gave me the chance to drive some dune buggies and blow up other dune buggies for cash. In addition to running errands for the local townsfolk, I got to rescue people by providing sniper cover. I also got to go find missing persons for which I also got paid for my duty. When I got bored doing missions, I took a few spins around the local racetrack to increase the size of my wallet or get some perks for my rides. With my earnings, I beefed up my weapons. I recommend creating some explosive tips for your crossbow. They really ruin other people's day. Still, after all is said and done, I am nothing but a go-to guy; a total bitch.
The mutants were creepy and there as a sense of desolation in the cities I visited running favors for people. The scenery definitely gave the apocalyptic sense that our comfortable world has really gone to hell. The creators did a really good job capturing the feel of what life could be like after an event such as a deadly asteroid impact. Though I don't believe huge mutants will be crawling around, those mutants did add creep-factor to the game, but weren't terribly hard to defeat. As mentioned, with the right weapons (explosive-tipped arrows), killing mutants was a bit easier.
The game came on three discs which lead me to believe this was going to an epic mother lode of post-apocalyptic terror. However, my life of running errands and stopping The Authority from what they were doing took about 13-hours. The third disc was a stand-alone disc for online play. The overall game is fairly linear. When you are partaking in one of the main missions it is difficult to get lost. If you are careful from start to finish, you should be able to cover all of your mission objectives. The things you need to find in the game are usually highlighted so the chance of forgetting something or not finding it is minimal. I didn't find too many areas that I found terribly frustrating. The one thing I loved best was that during gameplay you have the chance to defibrillate yourself back to life, but if you die before your defibrillator recharges, it is lights out. You can also save anytime. So, if you die and retry your mission, you know where you should save your game, like right before the big battle that got you killed to begin with. I like this save feature better than having to reach checkpoints to save.
Overall, the biggest disappointment was the story. It was so promising, but even after 10-13 hours, I was still just running errands for people who seemed ill-prepared to deal with The Authority. Yet, my rebirth 106 years after the asteroid finds me in a better position to take down those in charge of things in this post-apocalyptic setting. I found that hard to believe. Even after I did what I was asked to do, the conclusion of the story was a way too short cinematic that still barely told me anything. I mean, I assume things would get better based on what the cinematic showed me. I guess that's the point, but I was hoping for a good 2-3 minute cinematic of a happy ending.
The gameplay is really fun though, it just feels more like an arcade game than a shooter with a story to tell. At 13-hours, I will say I got my $20.00 worth; I would have been upset if I had paid full-price. This is easily a weekend rental or bargain bin game. If it had a more story to it, it would have been leaps and bounds more fun to immerse myself in. As it stands it has no real depth, but if you like to run, gun, and drive fast then this is a game for you.

Well if you can't trust unconfirmed, speculative internet rumours what can you trust?
In a cataclysmic shock, it turns out that Johnny Depp won't be piloting the TARDIS in a Doctor Who movie.
io9 have spoken to the BBC who have said there are 'no plans' to bring the Doctor to the big screen and that any rumours about such an idea are 'pure speculation.'
Former show runner Russell T. Davies, the man supposedly going behind the backs of people he has worked with on Who to produce this movie, has also spoken out to SFX confirming its all gubbins:
"Someone sits in New Zealandâ€, he wearily told us (except with a few more expletives), "Types out a rumour, and I spend the next three days dealing with that rumour!â€
A muted and illiterate "fake Davies" was quoted in a long since deleted article from Pubarticles, saying:
"There will be brand new concepts and the film will be just as adventurous, scary and humorous as the television programme. But none of us working the film will forget what makes the character great and interesting and the long-time fans will not be disappointed because yes, the Daleks make an appearance.â€
Not only is it disrespectful to Russell T. Davies but it's a slap in the face to anyone who put their heart and soul into bringing the past seasons of Doctor Who to our screens.
The rumour with its uninspired choice of the 'quirky' Depp, is so lacking in imagination its not too difficult to believe a desperate studio would turn to him.
So the net result of this insane rumour is that one unimaginative person, imitating another causes a thousand news agencies to go ape, lose all common sense (who would announce a movie rumour on a website whose top articles include "Better and Effective Ways to Grow Taller" and "The History of Hello Kitty"!?) and report any old rubbish just so they don't appear to be out of the loop/noose.
Sigh… if there are any poor souls out there still clinging to this rumour or any other Who Movie speculation; please, seek help- go to the iPlayer and watch hour after glorious hour of genuine, lovingly crafted Doctor Who and, for God sake, don't go near the internet, you'll hurt yourself.

A High River man will serve an additional eight years and three months for the horrific assaults he committed on an infant.
Dale Kunath pleaded guilty in December, 2012 to two counts of aggravated assault for attacks on his girlfriend's six-week-old son.
In June of 2010, EMS transported the infant to hospital with severe injuries to his feet and genitals. The injuries were so serious the child may never fully recover.
Kunath says the attack on the defenseless baby stemmed from the fact he was angry with the child's mother.
Kunath has been sentenced to a total of ten years in prison including time served.

Are you using public funds in your campaign? no |
Do you have any sort of a criminal record or any outstanding civil judgements? Please be specific. no |
What is the best piece of political advice you ever received? I've received a lot of advice during my seven years in the Arizona Legislature. Perhaps the most useful advice I've gotten was when I first arrived - a friend with years of experience at the capitol told me "it is better to hear than be heard, better to understand than be understood." This advice really shaped my experience - I figured out how to form authentic relationships and friendships with people with different political views than mine. These relationships led to my ability to shape public policy and pass legislation that has made a real difference in the lives of Arizona's families. The truth is, we Arizonans have more in common than we sometimes think. By listening and understanding others, we can find that common ground and solve problems. |
What is your favorite book (besides a spiritual text)? My current favorite book is "You Are An Ironman" by Jacques Steinberg. You Are An Ironman profiles six ordinary Americans (including a Phoenix high school teacher!) as they prepare to compete in the Arizona Ironman competition. An Ironman is the most difficult endurance race on earth - participants swim 2.4 miles, bicycle 112 miles, and run a 26.2 mile marathon... all in under 17 hours. This book highlights the very best of the human spirit - hard work, perseverance, patience, and triumph over adversity. I've read this book several times - the stories of transplant survivors, cancer survivors, and sheer determination of ordinary people inspires me as I train for the 2013 Arizona Ironman. |
What favorite movie has meaning for you? My favorite movie of all time is The Shawshank Redemption. The main character, Andy, is imprisoned unjustly for a crime he didn't commit. For nearly twenty years, he maintains his integrity and dignity, despite all the odds against him. Later, when he escapes from the corrupt prison, he mails a letter to his jailhouse friend Red, inviting Red to join him. In the letter to Red, Andy says "hope is a good thing." The movie ends as Red joins his friend Andy in freedom. I love the message of freedom throughout the film - regardless of the outside circumstances, Andy remained a free man because he never let what was happening outside change who he was on the inside. |
What is your favorite place in Arizona? My favorite place in Arizona is the top of Piestewa Peak. I hike up the Peak several mornings per week, and there is simply no better way to start the day than sitting at the top of the mountain, silently watching the sun rise. It reminds me every time how lucky I was to be born and raised in such an amazingly beautiful state. |
Which Arizona political figure past or present do you most admire and why? Sandra Day O'Connor is an inspiration to me. Raised on a cattle ranch in Arizona, she was one of the first women attorneys to practice in Arizona. She later served our state as a pragmatic, practical common sense senator for years before her appointment to the bench. As the first woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court, she paved the path for women attorneys and jurists to come. Justice O'Connor is a perfect example of the people of our great state - down to earth, focused on solutions, and willing to work hard to get things done. |
Has the federal government grown too large? Why or why not? | |
What is the best way for the federal government to help stimulate economic growth? | |
The number one job for Congress is creating a stronger economy, both nationally and here in Arizona. That means helping small businesses start and grow, because 90% of new jobs come from small businesses. I believe Congress needs to do more for the middle class families, such as passing the American Jobs Act, which would give a typical household an additional $1,430 in take-home pay. | |
How would you propose to balance the federal budget? | |
We have to engage in a modest tax reform to ensure that everyone is paying their fair share. I support keeping rates low for middle class families, and even lowering rates paid by corporations if we are willing to close the enormous loopholes that some large businesses use to skate away without paying their fair share. I believe in a strong national defense, but believe there can be adjustments in the we way spend our defense resources. For example, I agree with Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta's strategic reductions of outdated programs in the defense budget. | |
Should wealthy Americans pay more in taxes? | |
I believe that the Bush tax cuts for the very rich should be allowed to expire. This policy has not proven to spur economic growth and has not created jobs. The record here is clear: Ten years after the passage of the 2001 Bush tax cuts, the economy was significantly worse, we have had ten solid years of deficit spending, and our national debt had grown tremendously. Had we stuck with the tax structure that existed at the end of the Clinton Administration, we would have been in much stronger fiscal shape to withstand the spending in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the bursting of the housing bubble. | |
If you could, how would you reform the tax system? | |
I believe that the US income tax should be progressive. A progressive tax structure is rooted in the belief that every earner pay his or her fair share. The Bush tax cuts for the wealthy should be allowed to expire, returning those marginal rates to the level they were at during the Clinton Administration. The federal budget was balanced during those years. | |
Do you support entitlement reform and, if so, what kind? | |
Would you vote to increase the U.S. debt limit if asked? | |
The US Constitution requires that the US Treasury pay its debts. Playing chicken with the creditworthiness of our government as some policymakers did last summer is not prudent. The Treasury owes roughly $2.5 trillion to the Social Security Trust Fund. Can we seriously entertain the suggestion that we walk away from such a debt to our elderly? Certainly not. The solution to our debt and deficit is responsible fiscal policymaking, not sticking our fingers in our ears. Debt and deficit are long-term issues that require long-term solutions, not short-term political games. | |
In retrospect, were the federal bailouts of the financial sector and the automobile industry good or bad decisions? | |
GM posted a $1 billion profit in the first quarter of 2012. Chrysler posted $473 million. Millions of jobs were saved and the industrial midwest of this country was stabilized at a very dangerous time. This kind government intervention in industry -- especially of such magnitude -- must never be taken lightly, but in times of crisis, sometimes extraordinary measures are called for. Congress and Presidents Bush and Obama made the correct decision. In addition, I believe that the banks that were part of the federal bailout must take responsible leadership in reinstating our economy by helping small businesses. | |
If elected, would you work to steer federal funding back to projects in Arizona? Or would you oppose such pork-spending even for your own state? | |
Can, and should, the federal government do more to help Arizona homeowners who are continuing to struggle from the effects of the housing crisis/mortgage meltdown? | |
If you support more robust border security, please describe how the United States should go about that. Do you support a border fence along the U.S.-Mexico border? | |
Would you support some sort of guest-worker program for immigrant labor? If so, explain how it would work. | |
I believe that we need a market-based mechanism to fill the labor demand for jobs that our work force is not filling. | |
Would you support some sort of a pathway to legal status for illegal immigrants who are already in the country and in many cases have been here for years? | |
I believe in a tough-but-fair path to citizenship for undocumented workers that requires them to get right with the law by paying back taxes and fines and learning English as a condition of gaining citizenship. Families who have been a living here for years are relying on Congress to settle their status. | |
Do you support the Dream Act? Why or why not? | |
Yes. I was an early supporter of the DREAM Act. I was one of the first to co-sponsor a resolution at the state legislature that urged Congress to pass the DREAM Act. I believe that children who grew up in the U.S., who came here through no fault of their own, speak English and think of themselves as American should be allowed to become American citizens. Many of these students know no other country but ours, have served in uniform to defend it, are educated and ready to work, and deserve a legal path to U.S. citizenship. In addition, the DREAM Act would help reduce the federal deficit and increase our military readiness. | |
Was Arizona's SB 1070 a good or bad approach to dealing with illegal immigration? | |
I believe that SB1070 is a misguided solution to a very real problem. It does nothing to secure the border or stop dangerous criminals from crossing the U.S. SB 1070 complicates the job of law enforcement personnel who have enough work on their plates. I support community policing programs that build trust and accountability in neighborhoods. These programs have proven effective at cracking down on crime and increasing safety and security in neighborhoods. | |
Do you support President Obama's health-care reforms? Why or why not? | |
The Affordable Care Act was not perfect, but on balance, it does a lot of good for many Americans. Provisions in the Act expand protections to those who need care the most: eliminating lifetime caps on benefits, ending the practice of denying care to those with pre-existing conditions, making preventive check-ups free for seniors, AND lowering the cost of prescription drugs. While I am happy with the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Act, I believe that we have more work to do contain the costs and increase the accessibility of quality healthcare for everyone. In Congress, I will work to bring costs down. For starters, we can allow Medicare to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies for medication in the way that the Veterans Administration does. | |
If you oppose Obamacare, what should replace it? | |
I do not oppose it. | |
The U.S. War on Terror is now more than 10 years old. Are you satisfied with its course or would you like to see a new direction? Please explain your position. | |
Terror is a tactic, and it is an indefensible one; we have waged war on terrorists, not on their use of terrorism. Our focus on Al Qaeda and other violent jihadist groups has been successful, but we must remain vigilant. The strategies and tactics that worked best were driven by intelligence-gathering and focusing on specific bad actors (cutting off their money supply, degrading their infrastructure and waging war on their leadership) rather than the model of invading and occupying foreign countries. I support a modernized US military with greater emphasis and expertise in intelligence, cybersecurity and homeland defense, and less of a focus on nation-building or occupation. | |
What should be the U.S. policy toward Iraq and Afghanistan moving forward? | |
The future of the Iraqi and Afghan people should be left to democratic processes determined by them. The U.S. should work with our NATO allies to turn over security process to the Afghans and work diligently to redeploy our troops home from Afghanistan. I have serious concerns about the future of Iraq, whose current regime is close to that of Iran. Unfortunately for us, and the people of Iraq, the policymakers who blithely sent us to war did not think through Iraq's future government very carefully, and the Maliki government has several features that are reminiscent of past Iraqi regimes: a high degree of corruption, authoritarianism and a dependence on an oil-only economy. The best way forward for us is robust diplomacy and economic cooperation, with an emphasis on the virtues of building civil society, investing in education, rule of law and a free press. | |
What steps can or should the United States take to ensure that nations such as Iran don't get nuclear weapons? | |
I believe that U.S. policy should be aimed at stopping Iran from gaining nuclear weapons and that we should publicly and privately call on Iran to live up to its obligations under the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. I support policies that leave all options on the table and pushing a strong case for increased sanctions against the Iranian regime. We must not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons capability. The U.S. should work with our allies to ensure that Iran faces real economic consequences if it continues to seek to secure nuclear weapons. I support the existing sanctions against Iran, and would support additional measures, including sanctions against Iran's Central Bank and sanctions against businesses that transfer certain goods, services and technologies to Iran. | |
Would you support a cap-and-trade-style measure to address climate change? | |
What should the federal government's role in education be? | |
I believe that the federal government has a responsibility to ensure that every child has access to a quality education. Local school systems should set their own policies, but the federal government can encourage innovation and ensure access in rural or impoverished communities. This means an investment in early education, robust support for teachers and classrooms, and expanding access to higher education by supporting programs like the Pell Grant. | |
Do you support school choice initiatives? If so, explain. | |
I do not support these initiatives or voucher programs. | |
Do you support or oppose gay marriage? And should the federal government maintain or repeal the Defense of Marriage Act? | |
I support marriage equality. I question the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act which was written during an era when there were no state-recognized same-sex marriageS or legally recognized LGBT families. Since then, several states have enacted laws that recognize LGBT families. I believe that the federal government has no right to stop states from recognizing legal, binding contracts formed in other states. | |
Where do you stand on abortion and women's access to reproductive services? | |
I believe that these are decisions best made by a woman and her doctor. The government should not interfere with women's private medical decisions. |

Lexmark X543dn Color Laser Multifunction Printer
Lexmark X543dn
PCWorld Rating
Lexmark's X543dn color laser multifunction printer offers budget-strapped small offices or workgroups a few nice features at a tempting starting price ($599 as of April 6, 2009). Unfortunately, its expensive toner makes it suitable for light-volume use only.
The office-friendly bonuses include an intuitive control panel, automatic two-sided printing, and a versatile main input tray that can handle up to 250 sheets of letter- or legal-sized plain paper, as well as heavier stock. The tray's length guide is kludgy, however, and tough to extend with one hand. A single-sheet manual feed slot is integrated into the bottom of the main paper tray. Lexmark sells a combination 550-sheet input tray and 100-sheet multipurpose feeder as a $199 option. The standard 150-sheet output tray is a vertical plastic paper catch that hooks onto the back of the unit and snaps off when lightly touched. An MFP in this class deserves a sturdier, more conveniently located component.
In our performance and output quality tests, the X543dn's strongest suit was its print quality. Plain, black text was legible but lacked refinement in narrower lines and curves. Color images generally looked good, though (surprisingly) Lexmark's own photo paper produced the worst image: The image had a distractingly orange tinge and a grainy look. Print speeds were underwhelming: Black text pages exited at a rate of 19.4 pages per minute--close to the vendor's specified rating of 21 ppm, but not exceptional for a color laser MFP. Color graphics crawled at 3.4 ppm; and of the eight units we tested at the same time, the X543dn was easily the slowest at completing the timed scan tests. This might be in part because the unit ships with just 128MB of RAM, but upgrading to double the RAM costs a staggering $579-nearly as much as the whole machine at its base configuration. Scan quality was subpar, noticeably lacking in sharpness, depth, and color complexity.
Regrettably, the X543dn's toner prices are excessively high. Even the high-yield, return-program cartridges are very expensive: Black toner costs $70 for a 2500-page cartridge (2.8 cents per page); and each color of toner costs $83 for a 2000-page cartridge (4.2 cents per color per page), yielding a four-color page cost of 15.3 cents. The standard replacement cartridges are considerably higher--a bloated 4.5 cents per page for black text and 22.2 cents per page for four-color output. At least the cartridges are easy to swap out from their keyed slots on the side of the printer. Labels inside the panel explain how to use the color-coded release levers.
Lexmark's X543dn has a low enough sticker price to appeal to small offices and workgroups. Because of its exorbitant toner costs, however, we'd recommend it only for light use.

NasJet has announced the addition of a Gulfstream G450 Executive Jet to its fleet on management. With 13 years of operational excellence in luxury aviation, NasJet was a natural choice for the G450 owner. The aircraft will now be based in the UAE, where it will be available for both private charters, while also maintained and at the disposal of its owner.
The new addition to the fleet, marks further growth to what is already the largest Gulfstream operation in region. NasJet currently manages the largest fleet of Gulfstream aircraft in the Middle East, maintained and operated at the highest standards of service and safety in the industry.
The amount of aircraft, many of which are directly owned by NasJet, allows NasJet to provide UAE clients with immediate confirmations on availability. Its capacity to fly anywhere in the world, at any time makes it a luxury aviation company of choice for many of the regions VIP clients.
The G450 has a seating capacity of 14 seats, and is one of the most sought after long range luxury jets boasting the ability to fly to anywhere in Europe and most of the destinations in the Far East and Africa.
NasJet-the largest private jet company in the Middle East and one of the top 20 in the world, announces revenues exceeding SR 500 million for 2012. Despite the continued political instability in the region and high oil prices, NasJet has seen revenue improve by 6 percent for 2012 with an expected increase of 20 percent for 2013.
NasJet is the only operator in the Middle East offering a complete range of services including aircraft sales, completions, management, flight support, fractional and charter. The company employs over 300 aviation experts of which 120 include full-time pilots based at the Riyadh headquarters and has office in Dubai, UAE.

In my last blog I talked about how we have shrunk the memory used by setroubleshoot.
Today I am going to talk about another project I have been working on:
Adding compression to SELinux policy modules.
What happens when you install the SELinux policy package?
In Fedora 10, the selinux-policy-targeted rpm package contains 159 policy modules, uncompressed these take up 39 Megabytes of disk space. These modules get installed into the /usr/share/selinux/targeted directory. The selinux-policy-targeted rpm post install script executes the semodule command on the SELinux policy modules which update the policy on disk. After the the semodule command is run, the /usr/share/selinux/targeted files are never used again. rpm requires these files remain on disk or commands like rpm -V would fail.
The semodule command copies the SELinux policy modules to the policy store, in /etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active directory and its subdirectories. We now have 78 Megabytes of disk space being used. To make matters worse, whenever semanage or semodule commands are executed, they create a sandbox environment which copies the entire contents of the "active" directory to a "previous" directory. This allows us to restore the original environment if the commands fail. We end up with a third copy of the policy files for a total of 117 Megabytes. On desktop systems/laptops this is not a big problem, but using SELinux on smaller footprint machines, like liveusb sticks, OLPC, ovirt, or other small devices like cell phones, it is a huge problem.
In F10 I simply added bzip2 compression to the policy packages in the rpm. This shrunk the size required to store the policy modules to 3 Megabytes. But the post install still needs to uncompressed the files before installing them. The files in the policy store and sandbox are not compressed. The selinux-policy rpm still requires > 120 Megabytes to do the selinux-policy install. On a normal running system we are using 36 Megabytes less space.
In F11/Rawhide, I added bzip compression directly into the SELinux policy tools, This allows us to install the compressed policy modules directly from /usr/share/selinux/targeted and the /etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active directory contains compressed modules. I also switched the library to use hard links instead of copying the policy packages when creating the sandbox, it only creates new files when they differ. These changes allows the semanage/semodule commands to require around 10 Megabytes of disk space on the system. Giving us a 10:1 improvement in disk utilization!
- The incredible shrinking SELinux footprint
Yes although I try to minimize this by freeing the memory after each module. So the additional memory is only the size used to unocompress the largest module. We have not heard of a problem yet, but that is what rawhide is for.
On very small memory systems, it might be better to not run any SELinux tools on them, but to install the already compiled policy environment.
On very small memory systems, it might be better to not run any SELinux tools on them, but to install the already compiled policy environment.

West Ham United have reportedly turned their attention to Genoa striker Alberto Gilardino as they continue their search for a new attacker.
The Italian international recently rejected a move to Major League Soccer's Toronto FC, but it has not stopped other clubs from showing interest in his services.
Sky Sport reports that West Ham are the latest club to be linked with a move for the 31-year-old, as the Hammers continue their January search for a new goalscorer.
The East London club were close to signing Inter's Ishak Belfodil before a deal fell through last week and it appears they have quickly moved on to other targets for the January window.
Gilardino has impressed for the Grifone, scoring eight goals in 18 matches as he attempts to secure his spot on Italy's World Cup squad this summer.

Professional Marketing briefs
A convention graphic for Alcon's Travatan Z, an ophthalmic drop, broadened the product's indication and made unsubstantiated superiority claims, according to a DDMAC Untitled Letter. Although Travatan Z received a broadened indication from FDA in August—the eye drop is now indicated as a first-line therapy —that "was not the case at the time of [the ad's] initial dissemination," according to the Untitled Letter.Despite ongoing sales force reductions at many large pharmas, physicians still get around 20 visits from sales reps each week, according to an SK&A survey. Of the physicians surveyed, half said they prefer or require an appointment to see a rep (up from 38.5% in 2008), while 23% won't see reps at all, according to the survey data. Practices owned by hospitals or health systems are tougher to get into than private practices, since appointments have to go through headquarters, the survey found.
A meta-analysis published in PLoS Medicine found that professional promotion, including rep visits, journal ads and sponsored meetings, does nothing to improve the quality of prescribing, as measured by guideline adherence, safety and effectiveness.

The Modern Warfare 2 Challenge: Get the KDR over 1!
By CJduke 32 Comments
I have never really been that great at online shooters. I'm not a terrible player, but I've never really been one to be at the top of the scoreboard. Well nothing like a good year of college to change that! About a month and a half ago I started playing Modern Warfare 2 on my friend/roommates 360 (I don't own a 360, the last system I bought was a PS2 and I have a decent PC. My friend has a Wii and a 360 so I just play his games). I did okay for just starting out, going about 10 kills to 14 deaths every game on average. So I played a few games, then my friend asked me to check what his KDR was. He had it at about 1.2 at around level 30 (he doesn't play too much). To our horror the KDR was down to .85, roughly 560 more deaths than kills. It turns out that our friend who lives down the hall had been playing on the account for quite a while and he is really bad at the game. I of course was only slowly making the ratio worse so I decided I was going to stop playing, until my friend gave me a challenge. I had to play enough to get better and then get the KDR back over 1. I couldn't play any other games until I had accomplished that goal. I accepted, and after countless hours of Modern Warfare 2 I am proud to say the goal is complete!
It was rough in the beginning. I started out using the M4A1 with the Spas-12 shotgun. I used frag grenade and flash bangs and my perks were slight of hands, hardline, and commando. My killstreak was UAV, Care package, and Predator Missile. At the time of starting this challenge the character level was 39. I struggled a lot with this set up. I averaged having 2-4 more deaths than kills every game. My best games were 2-4 kills more than deaths. Hardline helped a lot for getting a care package and predator missile quicker.
As I started to get better at the game I began switching things up to see what I liked best. I played with the AUG for quite a while, but than finally settled on the Scar-H with the Spas-12. I used slight of hands, and commando perks still, but I switched hardline out for stopping power. I found out that the Scar with stopping power is a very beastly combination and I quickly began racking up more and more kills.
Slowly but surely I got the KDR up. For some reason I did really well when I equipped the Scar with the ACOG sight so I continued to use it. I also switched from frag grenades to semtex because I find them much easier to kill people with. For my death streak I choose final stand, but thankfully I did not have to use that too often. Once I got decent at the game it only took me two nights of playing to get 250 more kills than deaths. I entered the last game with 6 kills to go. I started the game out with six straight kills and immediately exited out in victory. It took me roughly 2 and a half days (60 hours) worth of playing time to be victorious. My friend was pretty pumped that I fixed his KDR for him and our friend down the hall is no longer allowed to play the game ha ha.
Now I am level 64 first prestige with a KDR of 1.04, roughly 400 more kills than deaths. I know that's not very impressive at all, but it is for me personally. I use the Scar-H with the ACOG sight and the Spas-12 with semtex grenade and flash bangs. Even though I love fast reloading I switched slight of hands for scavenger since the Scar tears through ammo like crazy. I still use stopping power and commando. My killstreak is now predator missile, harrier airstrike, and chopper gunner. After playing the game for a total of about 4 days played time now, here are my personal favorites, dislikes, and greatest moments.
Favorite Gun: Scar-H
Favorite attachment: ACOG site
Favorite Killstreak: Chopper Gunner
Favorite Perk: Stopping Power
Favorite Map: Estate
Other Maps I Like: Sub Base, Scrapyard,
Favorite Game Mode (besides Team Deathmatch and Free-for-all): Domination
Most Annoying Weapon: The Noob Tube of course
Least Favorite Killstreak: Care Package- It helped me out when I first started playing, but I really don't like how someone who gets four kills in a row can get a chopper gunner or AC130
Least Favorite Map: Underpass
Other Maps I don't Like: Invasion, Afghan, Wasteland
The most annoying thing people complain about in game chat: Campers
My Best Moments
My Best Game: 30 Kills 1 Death
My Most Kills in a Game: 38 Kills (9 deaths)
The highest Killstreak I have gotten: 19 (I used a care package in my 30 kill 1 death game)
The highest Killstreak Reward I have gotten (not including care package rewards): Chopper Gunner
Cool Moments: 1. Omnicide: Killing the whole team in 10 seconds 2. The Grim Reaper: Killing five people with a Predator Missile
My Current title: Omnicide (killing the entire enemy team in 10 seconds)
My Current Emblem: Pave Low (call in 25 pave lows)

Lung Cancer |
Malignant pleural effusions02/06/2007 |
My brother was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and recently developed a malignant pleural effusion. What is that, and how is that treated?
Malignant pleural effusion is a collection of fluid in the pleural space (outside the lung, inside the ribs) resulting from spread of the cancer to the pleural surface. With accumulation of fluid, the lung gradually collapses. This causes shortness of breath. The treatment for malignant pleural effusion is to prevent re-accumulation. This does not cure the cancer. However, it improves quality of life by relieving the symptoms of shortness of breath. Re-accumulation is typically prevented by a procedure that causes the pleural surfaces (lining the lung and inside of the ribs) to scar together, thereby obliterating the space and preventing fluid from accumulating. Scarring can be achieved by a number of techniques including: instillation of talc via a chest tube, pleural abrasion and/or talc instillation in the operating room (VATS: video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery), or placement of a longer-term drainage catheter (Pleurx catheter).

As part of the Obama Administration's Startup America Initiative, U.S. Department of Energy [DOE] Secretary Steven Chu [pictured] today announced the "America's Next Top Energy Innovator" challenge, which will give startup companies the opportunity to license groundbreaking technologies developed by the National Laboratories for $1,000 and build successful businesses.
As part of this effort, DOE is reducing both the cost and paperwork requirements for startup companies to obtain an option agreement to license some of the 15,000 patents and patent applications held by its 17 National Laboratories.
"America's entrepreneurs and innovators are the best in the world," said Secretary Chu. "Today, we're challenging them to create new businesses based on discoveries made by our world-leading National Laboratories.
"Because we've cut the upfront fees and reduced the paperwork, we'll make it easier for startup companies to succeed and create the new jobs our economy needs. Our goal is simple: unleash America's innovation machine and win the global race for the clean-energy jobs of the future."
Currently, only about 10 percent of federal patents have been licensed to be commercialized. This initiative aims to double the number of startup companies coming out of the National Laboratories.
Specifically, as part of "America's Next Top Energy Innovator":
1. On Monday, May 2, 2011, DOE will kick off the challenge by posting a streamlined template option agreement online for entrepreneurs to submit to Laboratories. Entrepreneurs must identify the technology of interest and submit a business plan to be considered for the program. Participants will have until Dec. 15 to make their submission to the Laboratory.
2. Any of the 15,000 unlicensed patents and patent applications held by the National Laboratories will be available for licensing by startup companies
3. From May 2 to Dec. 15, the Department will reduce the total upfront cost of licensing DOE patents in a specific technology to a $1,000 upfront fee for portfolios of up to three patents. This represents a savings of $10,000 to $50,000 on average in upfront fees.
4. Other license terms, such as equity and royalties, will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis, and will typically be due once the company grows and achieves wide-scale commercial success. These fees help support DOE's continuing research activities to develop new technologies.
5. DOE will simplify the licensing process and establish a standard set of terms for startups, who generally lack the resources, time or expertise to negotiate individual licensing agreements. This will significantly reduce both the time and cost required to process the license, allowing faster access to the Department's patents and enabling DOE to process more licenses in a shorter amount of time.
6. Entrepreneurs who complete the process and demonstrate progress toward executing their business plan and commercializing the technology will have the opportunity to be showcased at the 3rd Annual ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit in 2012, which brings together leading technology startups and clean-energy investors from around the country.
In addition to these steps, DOE is making it easier for companies to use the world-leading facilities at its National Laboratories to conduct collaborative research-and-development activities.
Previously, companies had to make an upfront payment covering the first 90 days of research work -- a requirement that was often difficult for start-ups to meet. Today, DOE is lowering the advance payment requirement to 60 days. This change will benefit all companies -- not just startups -- but could be valuable for those participating in the "America's Next Top Energy Innovator" challenge.
Entrepreneurs interested in participating can already view the available technologies on DOE's Energy Innovation Portal.
Some of the promising innovations currently available for licensing and featured on the portal include:
* Solar Energy Storage, Transportation and Conversion -- available from DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Researchers at Berkeley Lab have developed a system for converting solar energy to chemical energy and, subsequently, to thermal energy. The system includes a light-harvesting station, a storage station, and a thermal energy release station that enables transportation of stored energy over long distances. Here's the marketing summary.
* Grid-Friendly Appliance Controller -- available from DOE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The Grid-Friendly Appliance Controller senses grid conditions by monitoring system frequency and provides automatic demand response in times of disruption. This simple computer chip can be installed in household appliances and can turn them off for a few minutes or even a few seconds to allow the grid to stabilize and prevent blackouts. Interested? Read the marketing summary.
* Growth of Lattice Matched III-V Semiconductor Materials -- available from DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory [NREL]. High-performance semiconductor materials have a broad range of potential applications -- including high-efficiency solar cells, solid-state lighting, and high-speed transistors. This portfolio allows for the use of low-cost, scalable, and reusable substrates to dramatically reduce production costs for these materials. Click here for the marketing summary.
* New Catalyst Can Reduce Nitrogen Oxide Emissions From Diesel Engines by 80-85% -- available from DOE's Argonne National Laboratory. The diesel DeNOx catalyst removes 80-85% of nitrogen oxide [NOx] emissions from diesel fuel combustion by converting NOx to nitrogen. With its lower expected manufacturing and installation costs, ease of use, and significant market potential, the Argonne catalyst is positioned to deliver the environmental and economical benefits needed to reduce our global industrial "footprint."

- I Love pokemon
- My favorite food is hamburgers
- My favorite pokemon game is Pokemon SoulSilver
Me and Pokemon
Before I played the games I was a big fan of the Anime. My first pokemon game was Pokemon Sapphire version. I knew then and ther that I would always start with grass types(because Treekorules.Anyway I had a great team but then I lost my Sapphire. In about three months after that tragedy i got Pokemon LeafGreen and of course started with Bulbasaur. Later in life I bought Pokemon Emerald as well as Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness for my GCN. I later got Pokemon Coliseum After a while I stopped playing and didn't pick up pokemon for a year. Then Pokemon Diamond and Pearl came out and Sinnoh easily becamme my favorite region. Unfortunately disaster struck again with my Diamond version gettong covered with a melted piece of candy. Luckily though that happened right about the time Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver came out. The games where great but I still longed for more adventures in Sinnoh so I bought Pokemon Platinum Version. I loved Platinum more than Diamond and I had a lot of fun with that game. I am eagerly awaiting Gen V
I am a Grass, Ground, and Dark type specialist although I can use all kinds.

Long Running Web Process in Java ( LRWPinJava) is an open source implementation of the Long Running Web Process (LRWP) using Java technology. LRWP is a protocol used by a web server to communicate with its peers. LRWP is similar to CGI, but faster, since the peer is persistent across requests. In LRWP, a TCP connection is established between the LRWP peer and a LRWP agent. The LRWP agent could be the web container or a process running within the web container and the LRWP peer could be any process running on a network. The LRWP peer at connection registers the web context that the peer is interested in. . When a request for that context is made, the agent transfers the input to the LRWP peer and sends the output from the peer back to the web client. The LRWP agent supports multiple peers concurrently.
LRWPinJava has been implemented using Servlets (Glassfish container) leveraging the container multi-threading to support multiple peers concurrently. The implementation is light-weight and extremely fast. The performance of LRWP in Java is faster then the C implementation by 78% on a 4 core system in a real world C++ application.
LRWPinJava can be used
to replace CGI-BIN applications. It can also be used by WEB 2.0 applications,
C, /C++, Java, Perl, Python, PHP and Ruby applications
and REST Webservices.
How does LRWPinJava work ?
(taken from blueprint)LRWPinJava uses the LRWP protocol, a servlet, a LRWPAgent and cgi-wrappers to execute a client request and return back a response. The servlet runs on a servlet container such as Glassfish. The servlet, also acts as a LRWPAgent server and opens a server socket waiting for connections from LRWP client peers. A LRWP client peer is a client application in Perl/PHP/C/C++/Ruby/Python that is coded to use the LRWP api to communicate with the LRWPAgent using the LRWP protocol. A cgi-wrapper is a LRWP peer client application that automate the process of using the LRWP api to communicate. A cgi-wrapper wraps an existing application such as php-cgi or perl or ruby or python interpreter enabling it to act as a LRWP peer. The communication is handled by the cgi-wrapper while the execution is delegated to the interpreter application.
The cgi-wrapper executes the interpreter application (perl/php-cgi/ruby/python) in two modes, a fork mode and a persistent mode. In the fork mode, a Perl/PHP interpreter is forked and executed for each request by the cgi-wrapper. In the persistent mode, an embedded Perl/PHP interpreter is used within the cgi -wrapper to execute the request.
A sample request flow from a http client such as a browser:
1. A user uses a browser to access a URL.
2. The browser sends the request to Glassfish. LRWPinJava servlet gets activated since it is watching for requests on /* context. It takes a look at the context and if the context matches one of the cgi-wrapper contexts (see cgi-wrapper context below) forwards the request to the cgi-wrapper, if not the request is forwarded back to Glassfish defaultServlet to execute the request.
3. The LRWPinJava servlet on startup, not only acts as a servlet but also acts as an LRWPAgent ie. opens a server socket and waits for connections requests from LRWP client cgi-wrappers on port 1081. A LRWP cgi-wrapper is a client that knows how to communicate with the agent server using the LRWP protocol. A cgi-wrapper can be started on the same host as LRWPAgent server or on another host on the network. When a cgi-wrapper is started, one of the parameters to it is the context. The context can be /*.php or /bin/* or /bin/*.pl or /bin/*.rb or /bin/*.py, etc.
4. When a request matching a context is received by Glassfish, it forwards the request to LRWPinJava servlet since it is listening for requests across /*. LRWPinJava servlet looks at the context and if it matches a cgi-wrapper context as registered by a cgi-wrapper as in step 3, the request is forwarded to the cgi-wrapper. For eg. If http://server:80/index.php is requested from a browser, since /index.php matches /*.php as in step 3, the request is passed to the cgi-wrapper to execute while a request for http://server:80/images/abc.gif is not since "/images" does not match any context, so the LRWPinJava servlet forwards the request to Glassfish's defaultServlet.
5. Once a cgi-wrapper receives the request, it reads the input from the socket and writes it to a tmp file. The cgi-wrapper redirects STDIN to the file, redirects STDOUT to a file, and fork/executes a Perl/Php interpeter (perl/php-cgi) to execute the requested script. For example as in the example in step 4, it would be the index.php script. The output from the Php script, which is in the output file is returned as a response to the LRWPinJava agent, which returns it back to the browser as the response.
In the Persistent mode, instead of forking a Perl/Php process, embedPerl/lib-php is loaded once which processes the request as above. All of the communication is across Sockets allowing a cgi-wrapper to be anywhere on the network.
How to use these cgi-wrappers?
The cgi-wrappers are in
the examples directory under [os]. Change to the examples directory and start
the wrapper as follows:
./startcgiforkperl.sh 32 ipaddress "/bin/*" "/bin" or ./startcgiforkphp.sh 32
ipaddress "/*.php" "/"
The wrappers start the number of processes as in the first argument which act as LRWP peers and communicate with the LRWPAgent, while the second is the ipaddress of the peer host (usually localhost) and the third and fourth arguments is the context, and type of extension to look for, etc. The startcgiforkperl.sh wrapper enables PERL applications while the startcgiforkphp.sh enables PHP applications.
LRWP Protocol
A web server that implements LRWP protocol listens on a TCP/IP port, 1081 default, for LRWP peers to connect. A peer connects by opening a TCP/IP connection and sending in the context name and an optional host name. The host name is to support virtual host names. The peer then waits for a response from the web server, which is an OK to indicate a connection registration or an error message. After a successful registration, the peer then waits for requests from the web server. The web server sends in environment variables such as the cgi-bin request and the data, and waits for a response from the peer. The peer responds by sending in environment variables such as a cgi-bin program response and the data. The connection is terminated by the web server or the peer by closing the TCP/IP connection. The details of the protocol implementation can be found on the Xitami page, "Extending Xitami with External peer Processes".
LRWPinJava Design
The implementation in
Java uses the Servlet
container to handle HTTP requests and also
uses Servlets
to handle the LRWP processing. The LRWPAgent
replaces the default servlet, and listens to the /* context (Note: You can
start the LRWPAgent on a context like /php or /perl also). It also accepts
TCP/IP based connection requests from LRWP peers storing the peer context
using a ode>ContextAssistantManager. When a client (browser) or http based
clients make a request to a servlet context, the agent looks up the context
using the ContextAssistantManager
and passes on the
request to the associated LRWP peer. If there is no context match, the LRWP
agent, passes on the request to the container (Glassfish's) default servlet
for normal processing. So everything works as before except for requests to
the LRWP peer contexts which are now handled by the LRWP peers.
Salient features of this design are:
- This design supports multiple instances of LRWP agents, configurable during deployment.
- Each peer can open multiple connections with the same LRWP agent, which is also configurable through web.xml.
- Only one thread is used per LRWP agent; the servlet thread management is exploited for peer connectivity.
- The implementations
of the
, and theRequestHandler
are made transparent through the use of interfaces.

The next hydrangea you grow could literally save your life. With the help of the Department of Defense, a biologist at Colorado State University has taught plant proteins how to detect explosives. Never let it be said that horticulture can't fight terrorism.
Picture this at an airport, perhaps in as soon as four years: A terrorist rolls through the sliding doors of a terminal with a bomb packed into his luggage (or his underwear). All of a sudden, the leafy, verdant gardenscape ringing the gates goes white as a sheet. That's the proteins inside the plants telling authorities that they've picked up the chemical trace of the guy's arsenal.
It only took a small engineering nudge to deputize a plant's natural, evolutionary self-defense mechanisms for threat detection. "Plants can't run and hide," says June Medford, the biologist who's spent the last seven years figuring out how to deputize plants for counterterrorism. "If a bug comes by, it has to respond to it. And it already has the infrastructure to respond."
That would be the "receptor" proteins in its DNA, which respond naturally to threatening stimuli. If a bug chews on a leaf, for instance, the plant releases a series of chemical signals called terpenoids — "a cavalry call," Medford says, that thickens the leaf cuticle in defense.
Medford and her team designed a computer model to manipulate the receptors: Basically, the model instructs the protein to react when coming in contact with chemicals found in explosives or common air or water pollutants.
"The computer program designs how the protein, which detects things, and explosive or environmental pollutant interact," Medford explains to Danger Room. "We translate the language from the protein back to the DNA, and encode what we want in the DNA." Her team published its findings Wednesday in the journal PLoS One.
It all started in 2003 with a Darpa program to grow circuitry. Back then, Medford heard about a program from the far-out Pentagon research arm called Biological Input/Output Systems, geared to produce "rational design and engineering of genetic regulatory circuits, signal-transduction pathways and metabolism."
The program was essentially a call for computer-designed receptors. "I was a plant biologist," Medford recalls, "I thought, 'Wouldn't it be cool if we put it all together, like Reese's peanut butter and chocolate.'"
That led to a $2 million grant from Darpa, with the Office of Naval Research kicking in another million. But by far the biggest benefactor to Medford's research is the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, which last year gave her a $7.9 million grant to get the bomb-sniffing ferns from the lab to the real world.
Right now, Medford estimates she's three to four years out. Her labs have genetically designed plants blanching white when they come into contact with TNT. But that's in a research lab, where the amount of light is constant, "no wind, no rain, no bugs, no people dumping coffee."
Still, with the Department of Homeland Security unsure how to field nonintrusive technology for detecting bombs at public events, there's a premium on sensors that double as a sweet-smelling garden. Medford says she's "going back and forth" with DHS, but won't disclose more than that.
One big problem: Medford probably thinks it's not feasible to get the plants to react to ammonium nitrate, a common chemical used for homemade bombs in Afghanistan (and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing) since, after all, it's found in fertilizer.
Eventually, Medford expects to bring the bomb-detecting plants to market through genetically modified seedlings. Whatever it costs, it's got to be less than the $100,000 to $200,000 that a backscatter "junk scanner" can run.
The reaction of the plant depends on the concentration of the chemical it comes into proximity with. Medford says her goal is to get her plants as sensitive as a dog's nose.
And the best part? Because the proteins can live in any plant, there's no specific vegetation that couldn't become a sensor. Get ready for grow houses designing terror-fighting purple kush. That's the kindest bud of all.

IntroductionThe Book of Origins: A Survey of American Fine Binding has its genesis in an international set binding exhibition organized by Les Amis de la Reliure d'Art du Canada. The bilingual letterpress text tells the creation story of the Huron people in French and in English, through expressive typography and original lithographs. Le Livre des Origines/The Book of Origins opened at Bibliothèque Gabrielle-Roy, Quebec City, in September of 2005 and traveled to the Grande Bibliothèque of Montreal and the National Museum of Natural History, Paris, France. The 2007 traveling exhibition features twenty contemporary fine bindings by ten American binders. The group includes established masters as well as gifted emerging artists. Two works are presented by each binder: their binding in response to the set Book of Origins text, and an additional example of their work. The binders represented in The Book of Origins: A Survey of American Fine Binding have noted that the majority of book arts exhibition opportunities in the United States are limited to nontraditional book forms. We are committed to presentation of, and education about, the art and craft of fine binding. It is my hope that The Book of Origins: A Survey of American Fine Binding will increase the visibility of fine binding among the general public and within the Book Arts community, as well as encourage more binders to create their own exhibition opportunities.

The manager of administrative services in the city of Toledo's Economic and Community Development Department was arrested yesterday after an alleged domestic violence incident at his West Toledo home.
Kenneth Spruce, 48, of 1309 Thatcher Drive, was charged with domestic violence and assault, both misdemeanors. He was being held in the Lucas County jail pending arraignment today in Toledo Municipal Court. He is accused of choking his wife, Gemma, 45, at their home about 7:35 a.m.
Police were sent to their residence on a domestic violence call. Mrs. Spruce said the pair were arguing and then her husband grabbed her by the arms, took her to the floor, and started to choke her. She struggled with him and he stopped, according to a police report.
Police said Mrs. Spruce had red marks around her neck and what appeared to be light swelling.
Mr. Spruce inquired about filing charges against his wife, but police told him they wouldn't at this time because he said the two were just arguing, he had no visible confrontation marks, and he was determined to be the primary physical aggressor, the report stated.
Mr. Spruce was hired by the city in May, 2002. The matter is under investigation, and his job status is unknown, said Mary Chris Skeldon, Mayor Jack Ford's spokesman.
