The difference in opinions of Junichi's behavior is a little surprising to me.
In one arc: A group of girls say that the heroine's goofing off and flirting when she should be working, and that because of this they won't be able to do everything they want to do. She snaps back, almost everyone abandons her, and she tries to do the work of thirty people on her own. In response, Junichi says that they should apologize and get the help needed to make her dream a success, or give up and cut the festival from the spectacle she dreams of to something minor, exactly like the girls had said she'd do, practically inviting them to renew their cruelty. After telling her these options to keep her from overworking, everyone acts like he's the king of the pigs. In this arc: The girlfriend he barely knows admits to having broken the hearts of every girl who got close to him out of jealousy, leaving him depressed and alone. He suggests that they go to all the girls and admit that she'd lied and deliberately hurt them because she was jealous, and ask them to forgive her now that she's finally taken the man they all loved. And everyone thinks that this is better, though many seem to agree that the girl is herself far worse. Somehow, this just doesn't make sense to me... |

As for Risa, they definitely downplayed just how nasty she can be in the game, so people have a distorted view of her if only going by the anime. Last edited by aldw; 2011-01-15 at 18:39. |

On the other hand he asks this girl to go with him and reveal a cruel deception that broke many hearts and try to see if they'll forgive her now that she's won their man; this does not seem appropriate, though I'm honestly not sure what would be appropriate in this situation. |

As for Risa, it's hard to say a specific proper response, only that it would vary from person to person. |

Finally got around to finishing the last 9 episodes after getting stalled for a bit. After enjoying the other six girls' arcs, Risa's episode seemed like a nice cherry on top to end the series. Something short and sweet as a nice note to end a series I thoroughly enjoyed.

I think this episode made Amagami more interesting, and spiced things up. But, suffice to say, I do not like Risa very much. I actually had a mental argument with myself, on my opinion of her, and in the end, decided that, no, I can't bring myself to like this character, no matter how much she livened up the story in a single episode. I appreciate her design, though.
I almost decided to like Risa, seeing as I admired how much she loved Junichi, but, really, what threw me off was her selfishness. She basically was only thinking of herself, and not considering Junichi's real feelings at all. That being said, I still loved this episode. A secret heroine that was responsible for all of the bad ends in the dating sims. How intriguing. Why does this remind me of School Days, though? |

The Justice portfolio is new – it was only created with the start of this European Commission, under the leadership of President José Manuel Barroso, in 2010. I am thus the first EU Justice Commissioner who is also responsible for citizenship and fundamental rights. My department, the Directorate General for Justice, deals with a wide range of areas such as civil and commercial law, consumer protection legislation, data protection, criminal law, free movement of citizens and equality legislation.

Human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights must be more than concepts. Fundamental rights are the foundation on which the European Union is built: they must be continuously respected and protected. This commitment is laid down in the European Union's Charter of Fundamental Rights – Europe's "Bill of Rights" and the most modern codification of fundamental rights recognised in national constitutions.

Citizens are at the heart of the European project. The EU is not for politicians, it is for people. This principle is what guides our work here in the European Commission. The Lisbon Treaty marks a real watershed in highlighting the importance of citizens: It underscores their vital role in advancing the European project. It has given them new opportunities to address the European institutions. And it challenges the EU institutions to create a real Citizens' Europe.

POLITICAL EXPERIENCE: Elected to Yucca Valley Town Council in 2002 and re-elected in 2006 and 2010. Two terms as mayor
CAMPAIGN INFORMATION: chadmayes.com
Three candidates are seeking to replace termed-out Assemblyman Brian Nestande in the 42nd Assembly District, which stretches from Yucaipa through the San Gorgonio Pass to parts of the Coachella Valley.
The district also encompasses Yucca Valley and territory south to the San Jacinto Valley.
Republicans Chad Mayes and Gary Jeandron and Democrat Karalee Hargrove are the hopefuls in the June 3 primary. The top two vote-getters, no matter their party, will face off in the Nov. 4 general election.
Mayes is a town councilman in Yucca Valley; Jeandron a retired Palm Springs police chief and a Palm Springs school board member; and Hargrove is a trustee for the Morongo Unified School District.
No matter what their differences may be on the issues, they all agree that navigating the massive geographic district is a challenge.
"I've put 29,000 miles on my car since I started running," Hargrove said.
Jeandron said he attends as many events as possible.
"It's a lot of wear-and-tear, but it's energizing. You meet people," he said.
Mayes said each segment of the district is unique, but the issues are the same.
"The No. 1 concern is jobs and the economy," he said.
Of the district's 206,000 registered voters, almost 42 percent are Republicans. Democrats account for 34 percent.
Hargrove said since there were no other women and no other Democrats in the race, she saw it as the perfect time to run.
"It's an open seat, why not run for it?" she said.
Hargrove, 32, ran unsuccessfully for the Fayetteville, N.C., City Council in 2005. She said getting her name out has been the toughest challenge.
"My goal is for (the other) two to split the Republican votes and getting the Democrats out to vote," she said.
Hargrove said as a parent, student and someone who's worked an eight-hour-per-day job, she is like most other residents of the district.
"I feel like I connect with the people," she said. "We need someone who is going to be visible. I'll listen to the people."

Dive the Yukon
www.hydrodiver.com or www.loisann.com
It's a 366-foot-long warship prepped for recreational diving and sunken two miles off Mission Beach. The old girl rests on her port side, so inside you may find tables and toilets coming out from the walls and cabinetry on the ceiling. Swimming through doorways and along stairways can be a bit confusing, even disorienting. The Yukon went down on July 14, and marine life has already started to move in, so don't be surprised if you meet a barred sand bass on your way to the captain's quarters. For $10 you can buy a slate at any local dive store that diagrams the decks and access holes. Not keen on the idea of "penetrating" a wreck (technically for advanced divers only)? There's plenty to see on the outside, like the bridge, the gun turrets, and the mast with radar platform. It's a big ship; don't expect to see it all on one dive. Call local dive shops for information.

OTTAWA — Two Liberal MPs, two errant statements about Albertans, two days apart. It all adds up to a mess of trouble for the Liberal Party in the province, and the region, where they must make inroads if they hope to be competitive in the long run — and where they hope to steal a byelection next Monday.
The tendency is to treat the two situations as the same: Liberal Alberta-hatred, if you're a Conservative; Conservative gotcha politics, if you're a Liberal. But in fact the two are quite distinct.
The statements of David McGuinty, that Tory MPs from Alberta were too narrowly devoted to the interests of the oil industry — "shilling" was the word he used — to the detriment of the national interest, more nearly fit the "gotcha" mould. It is perfectly defensible for one MP to challenge another to take a broader view of an issue than just that of his own particular region or industry. I only wish more MPs did the same.
It's also perfectly defensible for MPs to defend their region or industry, if they think it is being treated unjustly — if it is not the broader interest to which they are being asked to yield, but some narrower agenda. As bad as the National Energy Program was for Alberta, the truer indictment of it is that it was bad for the country. It wasn't in the national interest to deprive Alberta of the world price of oil: It was strictly in the interest of central Canadian manufacturers.
No doubt there are people today who take a similarly blinkered view of the oil industry: the "Dutch disease" theorists come to mind. There is nothing wrong in principle with asserting that a boom in the resource sector often comes at the cost of a decline in manufacturing (though it may be wrong in fact). What's wrong is the assumption that this is necessarily to be deplored, as if the interests of manufacturing should naturally take precedence over those of resources.
But if it is wrong to equate the national interest with the interests of manufacturing, it is equally wrong to equate it with those of the oilpatch. The offensiveness or otherwise of McGuinty's remarks, therefore, depends on the context — on the specific terms of his dispute with the Alberta MPs, not the mere fact that McGuinty accused them of parochialism. If he was out of line, it should be easily demonstrated. The MPs' practised displays of outrage reek more of opportunism than offence.
Justin Trudeau's statements, on the other hand, are a different matter. True, it was in 2010, not this week, that he complained to an interviewer in Quebec that "it's Albertans who control our community and social-democratic agenda — it doesn't work," adding that "I'm a Liberal, so of course I think" the country is better governed by Quebecers than Albertans. But it does not alter the fact that he said these things, and presumably believed them.
To be sure, there is a context here, too: Trudeau was making these remarks by way of defending Quebec's participation in Canada, against Quebec nationalists who insist it must withdraw into itself to defend the French language and culture. This is wholly honourable, even praiseworthy.
But context only partly saves him. If he was not deliberately exploiting divisions for partisan gain — it was Canada he was defending, not the Liberal Party — but rather was caught in an unguarded moment, it was all the more revealing for that: These were his real thoughts, not a card he was playing.
If it suggests he was not thinking of national leadership at the time (for if he had he could hardly have imagined this would not cause trouble for him elsewhere) it also suggests a sincere belief that Albertans are a wholly alien people, who cannot be permitted to "control our community" — who are, indeed, ill-equipped to govern the country. His defence, a day after the controversy broke, that he had mistaken Stephen Harper's views for those of Albertans, does little to erase this impression.
This is not the first time, after all, that Trudeau has unburdened himself on this topic. In another infamous interview for the Quebec media, in which he intimated that if he concluded Stephen Harper's values were those of Canada, he might one day be a separatist, too, he conveyed the same sense of Quebec's approach to government being, if not altogether different, then superior, more progressive than those of les autres — as if Quebec's role was to civilize the rest of Canada. "It's not necessarily that Canadians don't have the same values as us Quebecers," he said then. "It's that there's a way of seeing social responsibility, openness toward others, a cultural pride here in Quebec that's necessary for Canada."
Look: There are differences in values, or at least in priorities, between different regions. Many people in Quebec would share Trudeau's view of the province's mission civilisatrice, as indeed do its admirers in the rest of Canada. It's just hard to square that with a national leadership role — as a practical matter if nothing else.
Whatever the accuracy or otherwise of Trudeau's views, people in Alberta would be entitled to conclude from them that he did not much care for their province, and to cast their votes accordingly. And people in other parts of the country would be equally entitled to wonder whether this person had the breadth of vision, or the judgment, to be a force for unity, rather than division — to govern for the whole country, rather than a part of it.
Even if you thought these things, after all, why would you say them? It is no defence, for those in positions of political leadership, that what they say is true. It was probably true, as a sociological fact, that "the ethnic vote" played a crucial role in defeating the 1995 referendum in Quebec. But sociological facts, in the mouth of a premier, take on rather a darker colouring. As always, context is everything.

Can you comprehend this?
- Sitting in the car, increasing the volume when you heard your favourite song on the radio.
- Heard your favourite song/ or a nice new song on the radio, taking out your iphone, finding 'Shazam' and search for the song's name.
- Went home – still having the favourite song you heard on the radio just now, on the computer, youtube the song, (having trouble to find the mp3/official mtv version), set it on replay mode for the night.
- Googling and finding the mp3 version of your old/new found favourite song to download. But realized after that you download the unfinished trial version or the unclear 'recorded' version.
- Going on online platforms to try finding your favourite song, spent at least 15 minutes doing so, realized you have to pay for the full mp3 version of the song.
- Asking your good friend if she/he has the songs you want, and asking is she/he could send you via email tonight or one day, you will bring your portable harddisc/thumbdrive to her/his house to get the songs.
So specially to all iphone and Android phone users, I recently got to know of a way to make all the above MUCH easier and here it is.
I was recommended by Selene previously to download this application on iphone, mentioning that it has a massive range of songs to download, all in perfect MP3 clear quality. I downloaded (without much persuasion in fact, because I was so excited when I got hold of iphone at first and went downloading too many apps) but went on exploring only recently after I was reminded and *bamp*, why did I only explore it only now?!
Just check out the platform, I love how interactive it is!
Left: Upon signing in, you get welcome to a menu page to manage your account
Right: Tap into 'My Music' and you get access to your downloaded songs in less than 3 seconds
Left: There's a 'Community' function, where you manage your own page. This is where you get more interactive with your friends, or even virtual friends. Share your favourite songs, your recent favourite playlist etc. Instead of asking your friends to send you via email etc, you can simply share with them in a fuss-free way!
Right: Need to find new songs to do your (wedding) videos? Or simply just keeping in touch with the New Releases, there you go.
There are just so many things to explore in the AMPed App, but in summary, I have list down my five favourite aspects of SingTel AMPed App:
1. SMOOTH streaming of songs. No need to wait by the phone, looking at the streaming percentage before it plays. This is completely instant. Also a perfect way to stream new songs first before downloading so as to prevent unwanted songs for being in your playlist.
2.Download of songs has never been this easier. I was really surprised when I found about this, it's simply fuss-free and similarly, instantaneous. Furthermore, multiple playlists can be created especially for different moods/events – Exercising/Gym, going-to-work-or-home, washing-dishes etc. This will be awesome, I tend to like to listen to upbeat songs when I run, if you can't need my suggestion, please follow me! Will be creating one soon in due for my exercise regime ;)
3. Sharing & getting of songs. They have a growing library of 3 million songs!
4. The awesome, clear, official mp3 version of every single song.
5. Definitely their Unique Selling Point here. We get exclusive 'money can't buy experiences' like Lady Gaga Concerts, upcoming Nelly Furtado's Showcase – Yay, I'm going! You can get yours too, read more to find out ;)
And of course, there's no free lunch in the world, but I do believe that there are good deals in the world, hee ;)
SingTel AMPed is priced at just $7.90 per month (on a 12-month contract) and you get absolutely awesome music benefits. One keyword you should know – Unlimited.
With $7.90 per month, you can all of the above, and as you can see, we get UNLIMITED real-time music streaming and song download with no additional data charges incurred. Go crazy as you wish! I always tend to go crazy downloading songs and thankfully AMPed has a clear platform to sort out my songs, nice.
But if you aren't too sure that you will need it monthly, you can subscribe on a no contract monthly basis for just $9.90/month , and access to the same benefits as you've seen above. But I personally think it's more worth it to get the contract and if you realized, the total amount of $7.90 x 12 months cost simply less than a concert ticket. And for today's special treat, for those who signed up for a 12-months contract ($7.90) per month, you get to enjoy all the above benefits AND you get a guaranteed pair of tickets to Nelly Furtado's Showcase!
Can't believe it's Nelly Furtado's first time in Singapore, and you can't get these tickets anywhere else (not even sistic) because it's an exclusive SingTel AMPed showcase. Unfortunately, this is the only way you can get Nelly Furtado's Showcase tickets but if you seriously think about it, with the 12 months contract (which is even more affordable than her concert tickets), you get a year of unlimited downloads of songs on top of her showcase tickets. Trust me, it's a guaranteed pair of tickets because I signed up and got a pair myself ;)
But if you ain't too convinced yet or if you ain't a big fan of Nelly Furtado, but you are someone who download songs as frequently as I do, guess what SingTel has specially came up with? With just 10 cents, you get a complimentary 30 days trial of the AMPed 2.0 Premium, which also means you get to experience the entire premium features first before deciding. The only pity thing here is that there won't be Nelly Furtado's Showcase tickets to come along with this.
SingTel does have another package for AMPed, but it's the AMPed 2.0 LITE version instead. It has the above benefits except for two things:
1. Share/subscribe to only 3 playlist per month
2. Not unlimited. Limit to just 20 songs download though you still can stream unlimited songs.
I personally think there's a big difference in quantity with just a mere $2 decrease in price per month. But the catch is this is without contract, but I still think the $7.90 package is the most worth while.
Anyway, Nelly Furtado's showcase is happening in just 2 weeks time! And the 10cents promotion is ongoing, so if you are interested, you can subscribe by any of the following methods:
1. Visit any SingTel Shop (and you'll get Nelly Furtado's Showcase Tickets on the spot!)
2. Just Scan this QR Code (you'll be able to preview Nelly Furtado's songs and sign up for AMPed Premium contract)
3. Go to www.ampedsoundtrack.com via mobile
4. Dial *247, you will get a text immediately (Please note: This is only for those who have decided to get the 10cents trial)
Hope to see you guys in Nelly Furtado's Showcase! I'm excited about it already, and I'm sure it will be a night of great music and fun. ;)

Hlavackova & Hradecka Into Doubles Final
Published August 03, 2012 11:57
LONDON, England - Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka moved to within one win of Olympic gold on Friday when they knocked out top seeds Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond.
The 61 76(2) victory sees Hlavackova and Hradecka advance to their second Centre Court final of the summer, having also finished as runners-up at Wimbledon four weeks ago.
After rattling through the opening set, the Czechs were made to work much harder in the second as Huber and Raymond began to draw out the points and work their way back into the match.
However, despite recovering from a break down to force a tie-break, there was to be no great escape, Hlavackova threading a winning return down the line on their first match point.
"It is amazing, we started so well, but then they started to play more aggressive and showed they were not going to let it go without fighting," Hlavackova said. "Luckily, Lucie kept my spirits up and served really well to get us through the tie-break.
"We have the day off tomorrow so I think we want to enjoy this moment for now and on Sunday we are just going to go for it."
Facing them in the final will be either their Wimbledon conquerors Serena and Venus Williams or the Russian pair of Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova, who clash in the second semifinal on Saturday.
Meanwhile, in the mixed doubles, Raymond bounced back from her earlier disappointment by teaming up with Mike Bryan to defeat Gisela Dulko and Juan Martín del Potro, 62 75, in the quarterfinals.
On a day when marathon matches and deteriorating light played havoc with the schedule, the only other completed match saw Sabine Lisicki and Christopher Kas edge past Roberta Vinci and Daniele Bracciali, 46 76(2) 107.

Olens Technology Releases XPJ-USA010 Projector
Over the summer, we showed you a new projector from Olens Technology. Recently, Olens has announced the release of the XPJ-USA010 projector. This model is not that powerful, featuring VGA (640 x 480) resolution and 300 ANSI lumens. The only connections, this projector has are s-video, RCA, and a VGA connection for PCs and laptops. The company states that this projector will top its rivals, including the Senario Torpedo projector and the Hasbro ZoomBox. The Major concern about the XPJ-USA010 is that its lamp life is only 300 hours. Fortunately, Olens has announced that the lamps are both easy to replace and low in cost. The XPJ-USA010 comes with a one year warranty as well as your first replacement lamp. This projector is currently available and retails for $179.

Cosmic Theophany and Natural Religion
No, because it has more to do with the development of our vision -- our cʘʘnvision. What you see is what you beget, and some of us just live in a more fertile cosmos. It's similar to what Magnus said in a comment yesterday about how love ultimately trickles down from the one source, winding its way through all the cosmic arteries and capillaries by which we are spiritually nourished, and thus maintain contact with the Real.
In an entry from his diary, Abhishiktananda (SA) implies that this state of being is the very goal of the universe, which is to say, "the consciousness of being, the final unveiling of the intuition that constitutes the human being." Of the Cosmic Covanant, he says that it "does not emerge only at one particular stage of man's civilization or cultural development. Rather, it is written into the very nature of things and is embedded in the consciousness of mankind."
Note that specific religiosity would be strictly impossible in the absence of this more general religiosity, or without our intrinsic theomorphism -- just as we must have the general capacity for language in order to learn any particular one. We may only know of God because we first sense God.
Thus, there is is a kind of "natural religion" accessible to most anyone, those few cynical doubtliars notwithstanding. And even then, they're usually just hawking their own private religion in another deusguise. In other words, physics too is a theophany par excellence.
SA agrees that "every man discovers something of it, even if confusedly, the moment he awakes to and becomes present to himself, to the world, and so to God."
But just as in any other human activity, from physics to basketball, some men are "endowed with a greater capacity for spiritual things," and, with the assistance of divine grace, may "penetrate more deeply into the mystery and unveil its secret to their brothers" (ibid).
But none of these wise guys "has ever received or taught anything substantially new. All was given from the beginning." Rather, "the task is only to recognize that which is and to decipher more and more of its mystery." (Again, we are speaking of the Cosmic Covenant, not of any particular contract with the divinity.) Another name for this ground floor of religion is the sanatana dharma, or eternal law.
Oldmeadow (heretofore HO) has a chapter entitled The Cosmic Theophany. Let's see what he has to say about it.
He -- HO -- ha! -- defines the cosmic theophany as "the revelation of the Divine in that tissue of time-space relativities which make up the whole cosmos." He cites Coleridge, who wrote of "the transcendence of the Eternal through and in the temporal," and Eliade, who observed that "nature always expresses something that transcends it."
How very true! It is simply an unavoidable fact that nature herself is supernatural, or she could never be, let alone be intelligible.
How is this not obvious? "Intelligibility" is not some concrete fact, but a necessary condition for knowing anything of our cosmos. And to say "intelligible" is to immediately say "knower," so this transcendent dialectic is woven into the very fabric of reality. You are free to disagree, but anything you say (assuming it makes sense) simply confirms it.
You could say that intelligibilty is the residue of God's immanence, while understanding is grounded in God's transcendence. Thus, "to imagine one without the other would be akin to envisaging a circle with no center" (HO). To paraphrase a rabbinical formula cited in the book, God is not in the universe so much as the universe is in God.
Note also that we could not be here without a physical form. But more importantly, matter could not be here without the divine substance that infuses it: "the world of phenomena is held together by a numinous spiritual presence," without which "the world of 'matter' would vanish instantly and utterly" (ibid). It is impossible to imagine or conceive of an unknowable world -- and again, knowability is transcendent in its immanence.
For HO, one of the purposes of myth and ritual is not just to remind us of this ontological fact, but to allow us to participate in it. But the same reality can be revealed in those random moments we call (?!), "where the membrane, as it were, between the worlds of matter and of spirit is especially permeable" (ibid). It matters not whether we break on through to spirit (↑) or spirit breaks on through to us (↓), for the result is the same, whether it is the guffah ha! experience, the holy smoke!, or the sacred WTF!
Hereagain this speaks to man's function as cosmic mediator in the herebelow. Please note that, since we are in the image of the Creator, it can truly be said that we too contain the cosmos, for to know something is to contain it. Being that there is no such thing as an unknowable cosmos, and there is nothing knowable that man may not potentially know, it is literally true that man contains the cosmos, just as God contains man (i.e., he knows us all right down to the last harebrain).
This is good: HO cites St. Paul, who says in Romans that "the invisible things of him" may be "clearly seen" and "understood by the things that are made." Thus, "Nature is a teaching, a primordial Scripture" (HO). Elsewhere, I remember Schuon saying that the exterior world was one kind of revelation, while the human subject was another. Really, they are two inseparable sides of the same revelation -- like God himself, in whom there may be distinction but no division.
So, where does this cosmic tree leaf us? We've grown as high as our naturally supernatural reason may take us, but we're still in the terrestrial arbor, well short of the celestial sonflower planted in the father shore.
What? How's that?
Yes, Abhishiktananda would like to remind us that Christ in his function as cosmic mediator is a "Column of Light and Fire" that has "one pole penetrating the heavens and the other plunged into the earth..."
And I would add that he contains us that we may contain him.
Children are one of the more obvious theophanies, are they not?

And the rush to make the most highly-bloggable remix of Lana Del Rey's "Video Games" begins: Jamie Woon has reworked "Video Games" into an airy, beat-heavy, effected confection. This ends up sounding like a Jamie Woon track featuring Del Rey, which is probably the best case scenario for Woon, who is so February 2011. Though the move where he makes her voice sound like a 50-year-old man is pretty bold. So, good work, I guess, Jamie Woon. [P4K]

SIM Card Flaw Could Wreak Havoc on Millions of Phones
About 25 percent of mobile phones currently in use may be vulnerable because they rely on 1970s-era Data Encryption Standard security, according to Security Research Labs.
Out of 1,000 SIM cards it tested over two years, 250 used DES instead of more advanced approaches such as triple DES or the Advanced Encryption Standard, the lab said.
About 7 billion SIM cards are used worldwide, Survey Research estimated, so as many as 1.75 billion of them could conceivably be employing DES security, putting owners of phones with those SIM cards at risk.
However, "leading cards typically employ 3DES and AES, and, in some instances, PKI, as used in our e-passports," John Devlin, a practice director at ABI Research, told TechNewsWorld.
"As well as meeting the requirements of groups representing the major payment card brands and high value multimedia content, some are also being tested to house government ID cards, and all require the highest levels of security for SIM cards and devices," Devlin noted.
Users in the United States should be safe because "most SIMS that use DES are 10 years or more old," remarked Carl Howe, a research director at the Yankee Group. "Since that time -- in the U.S. at least -- all the major carriers have changed over to triple DES."
Security Research's Findings
DES keys can be cracked within days using field programmable gate array clusters -- or even faster using rainbow tables, Security Research said.
Over the air updates, which are used by mobile OS developers and mobile app vendors, might be the entry point for hackers.
Hackers get a DES OTA key by sending a binary SMS message to a target device. Although the SIM card does not execute the improperly signed OTA command, it will often respond by sending back an SMS containing an error code with a cryptographic signature. This can be cracked in two minutes using a rainbow table, according to Security Research.
The attacker could then send a properly signed binary SMS to the device that would download Java applets onto the SIM. SIMs have predefined functions that include letting applets send SMS, change voicemail numbers and query the phone location.
Java applet access is supposed to be restricted to surfaces predefined by Java sandboxes, but Security Research found that the sandbox implementations of at least two major SIM card vendors were not secure and let a Java applet access the rest of the card. This could let hackers clone millions of SIM cards, including mobile identities and payment credentials stored on the cards.
Security Research founder Karsten Nohl will present his firm's findings at the Black Hat conference to be held in Las Vegas at the end of this month.
Security Research did not respond to our request for further details.
It's All Right, Ma
"I doubt anyone really knows how many SIMs are still left running single-DES algorithms," the Yankee Group's Howe told TechNewsWorld. "Most of them are probably in landfills or in desk drawers in obsolete phones. Twenty-five percent of existing phones sounds optimistic for me."
It's likely that only 10 percent of the SIM cards deployed actually use the old DES algorithm, ABI's Devlin suggested. They are likely to be found "in the very low-end devices, typically in emerging markets, so any vulnerabilities will be limited to the level just above those."
This "limits the level of threat, as this group would not typically have high-value data or financial transactions which fraudsters or criminals would target," he pointed out.
While the flaw might have affected millions of older phones, "this might be a windfall for mobile phone manufacturers," said Howe, "who can now offer to replace your older, less-secure phone with a nice new modern one without the security flaw."

Because they are dumb.AdvertisementHello Mr.****, While in the pursuit of "safe" sex many put themselves in danger by being unaware of hidden threats in what may seem to be less dangerous sexual activities. Evidence of this is the fact most men and women are unaware of the possible link between oral cancer and oral sex.In fact, scientists are coming to the conclusion that HPV contracted through oral sex could possibly be the cause for some of the 25% of oral cancer cases found in younger people who don't smoke or drink.HPV causes epithelial cells in the cervix to become cancerous. The mouth is also lined with the same cells and science is now finding that, like the cervix, the epithelial cells of the mouth also turn cancerous when exposed to the HPV virus. Added to this is the fact that the HPV virus has also been seen in oral cancer biopsy tissue.Endodontist, Dr. Robert Fleisher is now available to discuss this surprising link.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
Feds: Investment Adviser Spent More Than $1.4M Of Clients' Money On Luxury Cars, Clothing, Hotels
Chiaese, whose alleged victims include a union pension fund, surrendered to FBI agents on early Tuesday, said the New Jersey U.S. Attorney's office.
Other alleged expenses included stays at luxury hotels in New York, Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands; at least $25,000 in purchases at high-end retailers like Hermes, Salvatore Ferragamo, Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue; and $16,000 in rugs.
Chiaese admitted in a conversation with two of his close friends on Sept. 18 that he had misappropriated money, according to an affidavit from FBI Special Agent Jeffrey R. Clark.
He had been working in the financial industry since 1999 and began soliciting a number of new clients through his independent investment firm CGC Advisors LLC as early as 2008, the Justice Department said. They allege that, between November 2008 and September 2010, he raised more than $2.4 million from individuals and entities in New Jersey and New York.
One of those investments -- to the tune of around $1.71 million -- came from a pension fund managing the pensions of over 850 current and former unionized New York City public sector employees, said DOJ.
"As charged in the complaint, when Carlo Chiaese claimed to be making secure investments, he was really securing his own access to pricey diversions and ready cash," said U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman. "Although we see far too many of these schemes, we cannot become desensitized to them. Each such allegation shows that there are many out there who would steal from the unsuspecting, and we are committed to exposing their frauds for what they are."
Chiaese's case was brought in coordination with the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force formed by President Barack Obama.
"People invested their money with Mr. Chiaese with the hope of having a comfortable retirement," said Michael Ward, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Newark Field Office. "But based on the allegations in the criminal complaint, it seems those retirement plans for tomorrow did not fit into Mr. Chiaese's plan for his own comfortable lifestyle today."

If you thought our board was bad, here is a post on a Browns forum about a fan hearing that the Browns have an outside shot of the playoffs (remember this team is 4-7).
I'm not sure what the stats are but I've heard that there is still a chance we could make the playoffs! We can win these last 5 games and sit at 9-7... will that be good enough? I'm not sure if it will but I expect intensity and heart from our guys as if it would be enough! WE MUST WIN OUT! No lapses in the second half and no mental mistakes from our QB, protect the football and treat Miami like we did NO or NE and we win. This will be two in a row should we win, we pulled out four in a row last year when it didn't matter, can we pull our 6 when it does?
I personally don't think our chances are good (probably 10/90), but we have a shot (assuming a win vs. the Browns) sitting at 7-5 and 2.5 games out of a wildcard (.5 game considering we lost to all 4 AFC E and AFC N leaders). The Browns on the other hand, if they wouldn't have layed an egg at the end of the Jets game, maybe they can talk of an OUTSIDE shot.
Looking forward to this week. I think we can contain Hillis to a point (he's almost match-up prone) and with Delhomme at the helm, should mean 2-5 Turnovers. Their defense has been stingy at times this year, so hopefully Henne continues to mature and takes shots down the field (call the plays again Henning and give him a chance). Here's to an enjoyable Sunday. I'm in Philly so I finally get to see a Phins game on TV (somehow this game got chosen in my area this week). I'm tired of watching them on the DirecTV website.

String str = inputFile.nextLine();
String [] first = new String [50];
first [0] = new str.split(",",1);
I am trying tom put the data in the csv file (comma separated) into an array list for each line. I have skipped over the first line since it is just the title for each category. How can I use the split() method in the string class to store the data from the file in arraylists?

As the Everly Brothers, Phil and his older brother Don's steel-string acoustics and close harmonies thrilled the rockin' youth culture of the '50s, and left a mammoth and indelible imprint on rock and country music. The brothers were elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
In the Studio
"In the '50s, you'd rehearse a song three or four times, and then you would cut it four or five times. You were expected to get four songs in a three-hour session. But after you had a hit, they'd let you get by with two or three. Isn't that funny? To tell you the truth, the only pressure on us when we cut 'Bye Bye Love' was making sure we got the $64 session fee so that we could eat that week.
"Engineers were an integral part of the process back then, because you were cutting direct to tape, so all the mix moves had to happen as you were cutting the track. Take that 'chick-chick-chunk' fill that Don does in 'Bye Bye Love.' During run-throughs, the engineer would say the part wasn't barking the way he wanted it, so Don would have to lean closer to the mic for those parts, and the engineer would have to raise the mic level at the same time.
"Don and I would sing on one mic, and then there would be a mic for his guitar, and the other musicians would get their own mics, as well. We played live and no one used headphones. The leakage was part and parcel to the sound, and everyone was paying attention to what each other was doing—which was one of the great things about the way recording sessions used to be."
Comrades In Arms
"My favorite guitar event was in the parking lot of the Grand Ole Opry when it was at the Ryman Auditorium. Merle Travis was in town, my dad was there, Chet Atkins was there, and so were Don and I and about ten other players. They formed a circle behind the Ryman, all sitting on their haunches, and they passed the guitar around and played. Your jaw would fall open. Some people got in the circle, but when it came their turn to play, they'd chicken out, and pass the guitar [laughs]. It was something to see. I've never forgotten it."
The Gibson Everly Brothers Flat-top
"I thought up the pin-less bridge—which was one of the first, if not the first—because of Don breaking strings. I'd take his guitar, try to find the bridge pin on the floor, and then restring it so that we had two guitars working. I thought of the Fender bridge, and wondered if you could do it that way for an acoustic guitar. We presented some ideas to Gibson, and within a few months we had our pin-less signature model with the big pickguard and star inlays."

When normal humans get together around a campfire, they tell fanciful tales of unreal creatures. Conversely, when unreal creatures get together around a campfire, they tell stories about normal human beings.
Here are some popular scary campfire stories that unicorns tell:
A man looks at an apartment to rent. He likes it but needs a night to sleep on it. When he wakes up, he calls the realtor only to find that the apartment has been… TAKEN BY SOMEONE ELSE!
A man and a woman are in a relationship. The woman wants to leave their hometown and move to the city. The man wants to stay in the hometown because that's where he's always lived. The couple tries to find a compromise, but they can't so… THEY BREAK UP!
A woman's rent goes up by $50. This frustrates the woman. She considers moving, but in the end decides… NOT TO MOVE!
A man is on a diet. Someone brings donuts into the office where he works. He tries to resist the urge to eat a donut. But in the end, he caves and takes a knife and… CUTS A DONUT IN HALF! Then an hour later… HE EATS THE OTHER HALF!
