for those of you daring pocket pc owners, i wanted to let you know that activesync 3.7 is now available from microsoft. i always wondered what issues people were talking about when i had my jornada 568 because i never experienced any problems syncing. after i received my dell axim i found out why it is commonly referred to as "activestink" when i only was able to sync about 20% of the time. after going to the ipaq 1910 most of my problems went away; however, i would still get the occasional prompt to establish a new partnership or an unresolved item error. i am without a pocket pc to try out this latest version so i cannot give you any results from personal experience. there is some discussion of experiences over at pocket pc thoughts, which is where i found out this latest version is now available. i have been spoiled lately with my cli� and the rock solid hotsync conduit, and hope that microsoft someday gets activesync working as dependably. in my opinion activesync is the achilles heel of the platform, and if it were as good as hotsync there would be less complaints concerning the pocket pc and more people willing to give a pocket pc a shot.

|what issues? (9:17am est tue may 06 2003)
whilst i prefer the paml platform… i just hate hotsync on the pc. the mac osx version runs smooth though. i have never really had problems with activesync and like the way it constantly updated the pocked pc with info. if i wander arround my house with my ipaq and wifi card, i always know when new mail arrives… thats cool. first post btw!!! – by palmuser )

>>> always wondered what issues people were talking about when i had my jornada 568 because i never experienced any problems syncing.
exactly. i've had a casio ppc and now a toshiba ppc and have never had any problem at all with activesync. i don't doubt those who say they have problems, i just have to wonder if these problems are due to bugs in the hardware rather than in the activesync software.
|i never had any problems (5:07pm est tue may 06 2003)

|still kicking but afraid (10:51am est wed may 07 2003)
i haven't had any problems with activesync yet but i feel like it's a very fine line between working and a complete meltdown. i'm not sure i'll update to 3.7 until something happens to 3.6.

|activesync worked fine…until one day… (11:35am est wed may 07 2003)
it wouldn't sync at all. not even ask for a new partnership.
i had to remove a.s. and clean up the registry (or what i could) and reinstall, things haven't been the same ever since, some times it doesn't like what it sees and i have to restart the pc. until i found a little program called killsync that "kills" a.s. and lets me restart it. – by rmc
|activesync sucks (8:22pm est thu may 08 2003)
i have a problem with activesync in that if i sync as a guest with another computer (for eg while on holidays) and return to my main computer – it fails to recognise the name of my ipaq. it then tries to sync as a guest – and i have to delete the whole partnership, and then re-establish a new partnership. then as i sync – it duplicates everything i've got – appts, contacts – everything is duplicated!!! activesync is stupid compared to the rest of the sync progs avail. microsoft should attend to these probs and clean it up. – by doc jin

|active sync woes (3:27pm est thu may 22 2003)
dell axim and activesync don't play well together. i don't know if there is a solution. (those of you who haven't had problems with your different pda's aren't helping by suggesting that we're making this up.) if anyone has had some success or found something that helps (no, telling us that you sent back the unit is not helping) please reply here. otherwise, i'm glad many of you are having success, please give the rest of us a break. – by by squirrelboy71
|as 3.7 problems (11:08am est tue jun 24 2003)
just received the viewsonic v37 and installed as 3.7. on installing programs, my menu will get hosed with duplicate entries for various programs including the preinstalled word and excel programs. once duplicated, i cannot uncheck / remove them from the menu, and often the newly installed program won't be where it is supposed to be. i've soft-reset with no luck, and hard-reset to factory defaults and started again numerous times – all with the same result. i've had this problem with numerous programs i've tried to install, so i know it's not the program. i've made sure the program i'm trying to install is the correct version for my ppc. this is most frustrating. i will be trying as 3.5 next to see if that helps at all. – by frustrated37
|activesync's problem (2:20pm est thu jul 03 2003)
…is that if you do a hard reset of your device, wiping memory, the next time you try to sync you are forced to set up a new partnership. this makes it impossible to sync your device back to the way it was.
i gave pocketpc about a month to convince me it was more usable than palm, and it failed.

|how to get the dell axim x50vactive sync without a partnership? (3:01pm est fri jul 01 2005)
i have a dell axim x50v.
i have finially gotten the wifi to connect to the internet which allows me to use avantgo, explorer, msn chat.
i also was able to get my active scync to work wiressly once again, i had it working about a month ago but i had connection problems so after fiteling around with it all the partnership information was lost.
my problem adquestion is:
my dell dock is broken so i am not able to dock my axim to create a partnership and use active sync.
i can sync but no partnership has been created so i cannot recieve the updated changes.
i know you have to create a partnership by docking prior to being able to sync wirelessly, since i am unable to dock my axim, i am unable to do that step, is there some way i can create the partnership mannually by editing the windows regisrty or somthing?
or, i believe i would be able to create a partnership with active synce using the infared. is that the same as bluetooth? i would just have to but a blooetooth usb adapter for my pc as i believe i would be able to create a partnership using ir. any tips which to buy? is bluetooth and ir able to accomplish the same outscomes? i mean do they work the same?

my activesync turns on automatically every five minutes and it drives me nuts, in addition to interrupting the axim when it's in charge mode. i'm assuming it happens everytime i get a new item, ie., email, calender change, etc. is there any way to turn off the "automatic" function and leave the sync as purely manual, so i can just sync it once a day before i leave the office? – by steve
|tom tom / active sync problem (10:46am est wed may 24 2006)
since installing tom tom active sync dows not work. when activated the ipaq 6515 locks up the pc cursor and key board then just sits there. i suspect that the gps receiver is interfering with the usb port, or there is some other software running. i saw a comment in a review that there is a feature to do with using an external key board that may be creating the problem. any ideas? firstname.lastname@example.com – by billb
|autosync (1:54pm est sat jul 15 2006)
you can turn off auto sync by adding a new exchange server connection just use fake settings or any word you please when it asks for them. this allows the schedule option to become available. you can then set the schedule to manual. this apparently solves a lot of problems. i do not have the exact steps as i am posting from my axim x51 now but i think you do this from within the active sync program on the pda itself.
tell it not to sync your mail contacts etc.you can even delete the connection if you want.
also for me i had to go online to get the active sync software. the cd worked on my laptop out of the box, but not on my pc. i guess i wasn't holding my tongue just right and didn't have my head tilted at the right angle.

Having a killer smile is a must. After all, no one wants to see rows of neglected teeth. The most beautiful thing a person can possess is their smile. Little wonder women are falling over themselves to achieve the perfect Hollywood smile.
The Hollywood smile is a commonly used term. It's used to describe a perfect row of white, straight teeth. Who doesn't want to covet that look? Aside from your smile looking gorgeous, you will be the epitome of good oral hygiene. Let's face it; this is important.
So, it's time to take stock of your smile. Here is how you can get Hollywood perfect teeth.
DIY Options
Of course, there is no substitute for good old fashioned brushing and flossing. This should be done twice per day, with particular attention paid to the backs of your teeth. Flossing and brushing is vital for clean teeth. You need to have a healthy set of teeth and gums before your dentist will work on you. While brushing and flossing is great, you need to be aware that flossing and brushing only removes surface stains. If the problem runs a little deeper, you need to seek out more cosmetic help. This can come in many different forms.
The Cosmetic Route
The route to fabulous, celebrity-style teeth is to make sure that you are seeking out the right kind of dentist. While your dentist may perform routine checkups, they may not be well versed in cosmetic dentistry. A cosmetic dentist can guarantee that you have that classic Hollywood smile that is coveted the world over.
Let's take a look at some ways that you can achieve a celebrity smile using these tried and tested treatments.
If you have crooked teeth, the first thing that you should do is look at getting braces. You can opt for the classic "train track" style, or you can go for an invisible brace. The cost of these differs significantly, so do think about your budget before you decide. An invisible brace is a great way to get super straight teeth without compromising your current smile. Once your teeth are straight, you can start looking at whitening treatments.
Dental Implants
People have missing teeth for a wide number of reasons. But, with missing teeth, you are highly unlikely to attain that perfect smile. You need to consider your options. Dental implants can be costly. It may be worth travelling abroad to have your smile fixed. Check out dental implants in Turkey with Longevita. Corrective surgery is an excellent way to enhance your smile. Once all your teeth are back in place, you can start looking at making your teeth more perfect.
Did you know that there are 12 shades of white to choose from when it comes to bleaching? Some people prefer the all-out bright white fake look. Others prefer something a little more subtle. Whatever you decide is down to your personal preference. Opt to get your teeth bleached every six months. You'll look picture perfect in no time.

Have you ever said to yourself that there just aren't enough right wing-to-libertarian weblogs out there? Me neither, but The Torch is starting another one anyway and I'm now officially a two blog guy.
A problem at The Torch this past year has been updating our website in a timely manner. To smooth out the production process and get new content up without a full time webmaster we've switched to Movable Type weblog format. It's not quite as stylish as the old page, but it gets the job done. Hopefully we'll use it to post continuous content as well. Update your bookmarks and see the January issue on the new Vanderbilt Torch Weblog.
My own column is a criticism of the decision in McConnell v. FEC. As Tim Lee has noted on his weblog, this acceptance of McCain-Feingold deserves a lot more outrage than it has received for the law's overt violations of the First Amendment.

A Characteristically Vivid, Potently Relevant Performance by Ensemble Pi
For the past ten years, adventurous indie classical chamber group Ensemble Pi have played an annual "peace concert," featuring socially relevant compositions from across the years as well as most of the classical music spectrum. This year's sold-out multimedia performance Saturday night in the comfortable downstairs auditorium at the Sheen Center on Bleecker Street explored music and writing on themes of captivity and imprisonment.
Ensemble Pi Commemorate the Iraq War with an Understatedly Harrowing Program « Lucid Culture
from Lucid Culture
Even by avant garde standards, chamber group Ensemble Pi stand out not only for the adventurousness of their commissions and their repertoire, but also for their fearlessly political stance.

Ensemble Pi, much more than another new music group
"The evening was one of the most extraordinary and profoundly-moving musical performance events I have ever experienced. The concert was conceived and presented with an intelligence and compassion which intensified the independent merits and beauties of the (seven?) works scheduled. The pieces included were by one writer and three composers all of whose work performed that night, as described by The Cell in its press release, "addresses some of the 'silences' enforced or suggested by governments or the media".
A touching tribute to Elias Tanenbaum that is played with conviction and verve
Download the article in pdf format
Every piece of music on this compelling tribute to a loving father and husband, who also happened to be a musical explorer par excellence (he founded the Electronic Music Studio), compels one to trot out the term sui generis. Each of the six pieces, none more than 16 minutes long, engages its audience with a unique musical slant.
Compositions to Do Battle With War and Injustice
Artists have long created art as a means of political protest with works like Picasso's "Guernica"? now a tribute to victims of war. Composers have a less direct means of rebellion than the more literal expression of painters, photographers and playwrights. But even if there had not been descriptions in the program, the new music performed at the Great Hall at Cooper Union on Saturday evening during a concert commemorating the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq clearly evoked conflict and anguish.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Place the shallots and oil in small saucepot and cook over high heat until the oil starts to bubble. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring frequently and adjusting the heat to maintain a steady stream of bubbles. Cook until the shallots are rust colored, about 15 minutes. Carefully pour through a strainer into a second pot, then transfer the shallots to a paper-towel-lined plate. (Save the oil for stir-fries or for second batch of shallots.) Separate the shallots with a fork and season with salt. Allow to cool completely before storing in a sealed container (will keep for several weeks at room temperature).
Sprinkle the beef with 3 tablespoons salt. Set on a rack in a baking dish, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, preheat the oven to 475 degrees F and adjust the rack to the lower-middle positions. Roast the beef until it is lightly browned, 35 to 45 minutes. Flip the roast, reduce the heat to 300 degrees F and continue roasting until the center registers 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 45 minutes to 1 hour longer. Remove from the oven and allow to rest at least 45 minutes. Slice as thinly as possible.
Combine the thousand island and horseradish in a small bowl. Split the rolls in half and toast. Spread the dressing generously on the cut sides.

"'The situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable,' declared [US] President Barack Obama in his June 4 Cairo address. Really? Compared to what? Things are tough all over. The Palestinians are one of many groups displaced by population exchanges that followed World War II, and the only ones whose great-grandchildren still have the legal status of refugees. Why are they still there? ... The standard tables of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita show the West Bank and Gaza ar US $1,700, just below Egypt's $1,900 and significantly below Syria's $2,250 and Jordan's $3,000. ... Why should any Palestinian refugee resettle in a neighboring Arab country? ... Other data confirm that Palestinians enjoy a higher living standard than their Arab neighbors. A fail-safe gauge is life expectancy. ... Without disputing Obama's claim that life for the Palestinians is intolerable, it is fair to ask: where is life not intolerable in the Arab world? ... Why should Western taxpayers subsidize an Arab in Ramallah, when Arabs in Egypt are needier? ... Once the problem is diagnosed with this kind of clarity, the solution becomes obvious: Cut Western support to the Palestinians with the aim of reducing living standards in the West Bank to those prevailing in Egypt, as an incentive for emigration. Demilitarize Palestinian society", Spengler at Asia Times, 17 August 2009, link: http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/KH18Ak01.html.
Thank you Spengler. I suggested this decades ago.

Home among the stars: Wondrous 1970s artist renderings of NASA's future space stations where THOUSANDS would live
In the 1970s with the moon landing still fresh and man living amongst the stars seemed only a short time away, NASA's Ames Research Center imagined what it would all look like.
As part of the three space colony studies conducted by the center artists were asked to create renderings of the study's projections.
The wondrous images are somehow both retro and futuristic, the work of brilliant minds given a sense of almost childlike optimism with the benefit of hindsight.
Future: Many artistic renderings of space colony concepts were drawn up at NASA Ames in the 1970s
Long-term: Modern space stations look much simpler because the aren't designed for long-term living
Cinematic: Some of the designs were the basis for movie props
More ideas after the break
Some designs featured a spherical living area that could hold up to 10,000 people
Another was depicted in the classic sci-fi film 2001: A Space Odyssey, which featured a centrifugal force created by rotation so that it would have an effect exactly the same as gravity.
Modern space stations have different designs because their purposes research-based rather than being the home for generations of people.
But if man does establish long-term colonies in space, these designs could yet point the way towards stations with sustainable crops, forests, and even small bodies of water.
Stations were designed to feature bodies of water, forests, and sustainable crops
Generations: These stations were designed for thousands of people to grow and raise families
Every day life: Three studies were done to determine exactly what a space station would need to function
Park: Stations would feature plenty of greenery
Stylish: Though designed for man's future the images seem almost retro compared to current stations
Life: Healthy on-station ecosystems would be necessary to sustain people
Gravity: Special rotating mechanism could create a force indistinguishable from gravity on the stations
Frontier: Designs were made when man's move into space seemed just a few years away
Fields: Future pioneers won't miss the comforts of the wild
Electric lights: Colonists wouldn't lack for beautiful days
Details: Artists used studies filled with scientific and technical details to create the perfect representations of life in space

I think I've written before about how it can be difficult to come up with things to talk about with your partner when they're gone. So far, most of the trips J has taken, he's had his phone and some way of contacting us, so at most we'd only have to go a few days without speaking. Usually we've been able to text as we normally do; which if you ask anyone that knows us, is A LOT.
We text constantly. I kind of thought it was a honeymoon period sort of thing, for the first year or so of marriage, but nope, it's stuck around. We just talk about everything that we're doing, thinking, feeling. It wasn't until this most recent field trip that I realised how important this connection is…
…no contact for 2 weeks. Now this doesn't sound too bad in theory, I guess, and for some of you, this might not be an issue. In the past I know that I have sometimes felt like it was difficult to come up with things to talk about when we've had constant contact; I've even wished before that we wouldn't have contact because I've felt such pressure to keep our conversations going. I can now say for a fact that, for me, no contact is WAY worse.
I never realised how much I rely on talking to my husband about everything. Talking is how I process and deal with things, and right now is an especially stressful time to not be able to talk to my guy; we're posting out of Darwin, having a second baby, parenting a wild (but fun) toddler, and I'm finishing my first round of social work prac. There's a lot going on, and I need to talk it out; my poor mother has had to replace J, and she gets daily phone calls where I unleash my crazy.
I know it's not for long, and the point of this post isn't to whine; it's more to say that I realise now how much I would rather be struggling to come up with things to talk about, than struggling with not being able to talk at all. I am grateful for the communication I have with J, and I won't take it for granted again.

A distinguished songwriter and entertainer, Hannan recorded his own song, "Society" with Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, which is featured in Sean Penn's film Into the Wild. "I Thought I Was You", written by Jerry and brother Sean Hannan also plays in Into the Wild.
In 2003, Jerry recorded his second CD Sounds Like a Story. A new song "DaDaDa" from the CD was featured in the film The Pledge (Jack Nicholson). He performed in Sam Shepard's play, The Late Henry Moss, at San Francisco's Theatre on the Square (along with Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Cheech Marin and Woody Harrelson). He also appeared as a raucous singer who offsets a romantic conversation between Harry Connick Jr and Sarah Jessica Parker in Sony Picture's Life Without Dick.
Described as "shades of Dylan and John Prine ...very Americana with a faint Irish lilt", Hannan's songs (like those of Springsteen, Steve Earle and Cat Stevens) speak of our everyday lives and the magic that we sometimes miss. He's a storyteller, known for his thought provoking lyrics and exuberant performances. He has been called a Marin County treasure, often funny, sardonic in a good-natured way, highlighting issues like ecology, friendship, and love.
Raised on jigs and ballads in San Francisco's Irish community, Jerry Hannan grew up listening to the music of his Irish-born parents (The Dubliners, The Clancy Brothers), as well as Cat Stevens. As a youngster he took accordion lessons, switching to guitar in high school and playing in rock 'n roll bands.
Hannan's most recent recording, The Light Gets Brighter, features his latest gems including several songs on the upcoming soundtrack to the documentary film Mad Hannans.
The film Mad Hannans - a documentary that tells the story of brothers Sean and Jerry - premiered at the Mill Valley Film Festival in early October 2017 to sold out audiences. The film received the Best Docuemtary Award at its European debut at the Manchester Film Festival in 2018. Look for it on the big screen near you.

Rosenthal Continues, "Everyone who received a new smart phone, e-reader, tablet or computer over the holidays will need a protective case. Why not one made from recycled materials?"
Anyone can enter to win the $50 Caseable giveaway by voting for the top 5 "Green" resolutions they plan to follow for 2013 and leaving a comment on the Planet Green Recycle blog. The giveaway is open until 1/21/13 11:59PM PST.

The proposal to end the so-called gun show loophole is one of several announced by state officials Monday following the massacre at an elementary school in Connecticut last month.
Others include banning military-style, assault-type weapons and ammunition clips holding more than five rounds for rifles and 10 rounds for handguns.
Officials also are proposing a ban on guns within 1,000 feet of schools and mandatory reporting of lost and stolen firearms.
Attorney General Beau Biden said the proposed ban on assault-type weapons likely will generate the most intense debate in the legislature, but that he believes it is consistent with the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

Hey Guys,
So, I have the most recent fglrx running under ArchLinux. I basically tried ubuntu 9.04, but, blank screen of doom. Something -seriously- broke when moving from xorg 1.4 -> 1.5/1.6
Regardless of all this, when is the 3870x2 going to be supported ? I actually have -2- of them in crossfire in my laptop, and, well, I don't even feel like an economy passenger. I feel like I am stuck out on the airplane's wing.
I do get around 3000fps under fglrx and xorg 1.4, it -does- work.. after a fashion. I am probably getting about 1/4 of the 4 gpu's running however.. which is.. annoying.
Any ETA/Timeline for -proper- 3870x2 or crossfire support ? I assume that the two are inter-connected, since the x2 cards seem to be internal crossfire

|sharing of needles
Nov 9, 2011
Hi Dr. once day I share a syringe with my friend (which is not hiv negative) to taking the drug.(its my first time to taking drug and sharing needle with another person) after taking drug my friend told me that he perform unprotected sex with a prostitute two days before.( he perform a sex first time in his life. Before that he never perform any sex) My question is that, if this prostitute with which my friend perform a sex before just two days is hiv infected. Then there will be chances of getting hiv infection to my friend. If my friend get contaminated by hiv from this prostitute can my friend able to transmit the hiv just after two days from possible explosure? By any way means by sexual contact or by sharing needles. Because I share needles with him after two days from possible explosure can I get contaminated by hiv from my friend Due to sharing of needles?
Response from Dr. McGowan
Hi, thanks for your question.
The simple answer to your immediate question is, no, you are not at risk from acquiring HIV if your friend was only exposed 2 days prior. It takes several days for the virus to get into his blood stream.
The longer answer is that you need to take steps to protect yourself from HIV. If you continue to inject drugs you need to find a source for clean needles that have not been used by anyone. You do not know all that your friends may do, including sex or sharing needles with other people, that is just human nature.
Sex and drugs go hand in hand, and so does HIV, hepatitis C, hepatitis B and other sexually transmitted diseases. Use of condoms and trying to look into drug rehab are the things you need to focus on to stay clear from HIV.
Best, Joe

"As the title says and the game being already rumoured by Fusible.com I can confirm it now that the next Rainbow Six will be announce on Xbox World Magazine in the upcoming month (if I understood correctly from my contact). Last night I got home with the assets; logos, arts, the covers and rendered game screens from a buddy that I know in marketing. I will not going to show anything for the moment as I will let the mag do his work, but what I can tell is that the logo is 6 with the pistol that replace the bottom circle. The arts backgrounds are with the New York in fire and the renders characters are very similiar to Homefront, yet the clothes are still based with police rainbow six gears. What I understood the plot will go between a large group of revolutionary terrorists and of course the police. "
Official announcement expected in November.

Today's electronic world saves time but information overload has become common. You attend a meeting or take a break to avoid the deluge of mail, voice messages, E-mail and faxes only to return to a fresh new supply.
Does the idea of talking on the phone energize you or drain you? Can you let it ring through to your answering machine or must you jump to answer it? Phones are an essential lifeline to the business and personal world for many people. Others are happier letting their fingers do the talking with E-mail on their computers.

Osteonal bone is often compared to a composite material and to metals as discontinuities within the material may provide sites of stress concentration for crack initiation and serve as barriers to crack growth. However, little experimental data exist to back up these hypotheses. Fluorescent chelating agents were applied at specific intervals to bone specimens fatigue tested in cyclic compression at a stress range of 80 MPa. The failed specimens were sectioned and labelled microcracks identified using UV epifluorescence microscopy. Microcrack lengths were measured and their relationship to cement lines surrounding secondary osteons recorded. Microcrack length at the time of encountering a cement line was also measured. Microcracks of less than 100mum stopped growing when they encountered a cement line. Microcracks of greater than 100mum in length continued to grow after encountering a cement line surrounding an osteon. Only microcracks greater than 300mum in length were capable of penetrating osteons and these microcracks were the only ones which were observed to cause failure in the specimen. These experimental data support the hypothesis that secondary osteons act as barriers to crack propagation in compact bone. However, it shows that this microstructural barrier effect is dependent on the crack length at the time of encountering an osteon. For the vast majority of cracks, osteons act as barriers to growth but for the minority of cracks that are long enough and do break through the cement line, an osteon may actually act as a weakness in the bone and facilitate crack propagation.

For those who know me, you probably know that I have been pushing this book onto other people for a while because I love it so dang much. And I realized that we had a Book Club section of the website where I can force you all to read and discuss it muahahahaha.
Anyway, the book is, again, if you didn't bother to read the title of this thread, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It is a science fiction, specifically cyberpunk, novel, that centers around a virtual reality website much like Second Life, in the future (I don't really know how much in the future but it's in the future!) and the main characters and his friends are embarking on a contest/journey through this virtual reality cyberspace.
There are a ton of 80s references too so for those who aren't that into the future-y stuff, there's also plenty of nostalgia to be felt.
here are a lot of points that we can pull from for discussion too which I will happily discuss with you guys either here or VM..
Some of them are obviously...
- the state of technology now and what'll happen in the future. do you think it'll be like it is in the book and other cyberpunk novels, movies, and shows?
- are virtual realities are good thing or a bad thing? carefully look at the different real life situations of the characters in the book and how they use the virtual reality. is it harmful or advantageous?
- going with the previous question, there are a lot of social issues that come up in the novel such as gender and race issues, particularly with Aech in the novel. what is the story behind this character? what do you think?
- what do you think of all the 80s references? what do you think they do for the novel?
There are other topics too, of course, but those are the main ones that I'd like to start off discussing.
Guys, this book made me fall in love with the cyberpunk genre, so. I promise you it's a great book. Even if you don't like science fiction, I truly feel that there's something in the novel for everyone. I look forward to reading all your lovely discussion/points/rants about the book. I hope at least some of you love the book as much as I do.
Deadline? One month from now, August 5th, 12:00AM EST. Get reading!

Full disclosure of security risk information is still under fire—this time driven by the recent outbreak of malicious worms such as Code Red and Nimda. Last week, Microsoft published an essay written by Scott Culp, manager of the Microsoft Security Response Center. In the essay, Culp refers to full disclosure as "information anarchy" and says that Microsoft is working with other industry leaders to form a consensus protesting such information release. The company will ask its customers to support the adoption of the resulting consensus.
The central concern with full disclosure is that people often take vulnerability demonstration code—sometimes released in fully functional form—and use the code to create a weapon against unsuspecting users. "But regardless of whether the \[security vulnerability\] remediation takes the form of a patch or a workaround," Culp wrote, "an administrator doesn't need to know how a vulnerability works in order to understand how to protect against it, any more than a person needs to know how to cause a headache in order to take an aspirin." Although he's right to a certain extent, we need to consider a larger perspective.
Worms such as Code Red and Nimda definitely played upon well-known bugs for which patches had long since been available. Those worms showed us how many administrators don't consider security to be a priority in operating their systems. Granted, the worm writers seem malicious in releasing such nuisances, but is there a silver lining to those dark clouds? I think so. As a result of regularly demonstrated administrative complacency, Microsoft has adopted significant new policies and practices. The company has expanded its customer support efforts and is committed to providing even more robust security in its products and more robust tools to help automate and manage security. For example, because of these worms, Microsoft is now giving in a bit to the habits and needs of its customers instead of the somewhat idealistic visions of its software architects. So who benefits in the overall scenario? Everyone does. Culp wrote, "Customers who are considering hiring security consultants can ask them what their policies are regarding information anarchy, and make an informed buying decision based on the answer. And security professionals only need to exercise some self-restraint."
In reality, Microsoft doesn't benefit by condemning the sharing of detailed vulnerability information. Instead, the company should be scolding the misguided focus and relative complacency of its customers' administrative efforts. It seems that Microsoft is doing that now indirectly with its new Strategic Technology Protection Program (STPP). The effects should benefit information security in general, but getting a new program fully operational takes time. Perhaps any new consensus is going a bit too far too soon. In any event, a new consensus will benefit Microsoft by buying the company some time to get STPP into full swing. So again, who benefits from any new consensus in the long run? As Culp pointed out, "Even in the best of conditions, it will still be possible to write worms." So a new consensus won't eliminate the core problems of administrative latency and faulty code.
The full-disclosure problem comes down to timing on three fronts: Researchers publish explicit details in many cases without enough consideration for the time required for companies to develop a patch and coax customers into loading the patch; users wait too long to apply patches, if they apply them at all; and Microsoft product cycles are probably still far too quick to market for effective code development.
What do you think about full disclosure? Is it a detriment or a benefit to the user community, or does it seem to balance out fairly equally in the bigger picture? Go back to our home Web page and take the Instant Poll. We're eager to learn your perspective. And if you want to express detailed comments regarding any new consensus, you can post them in response to this editorial—you'll find a copy posted on our home page, too.

Do you know of an Eco Shoe Company that has been in business for 40 years, has biodegradable soles and in honor of Earth Day they're giving away 40 pairs of shoes? I do and I'm here to share with you the company is none other than Earth Footwear! The company that has teamed with Mamavation to help support and encourage the calorie burning, strength and toning, fitness and healthy living Mamavation inspires!
Personally, I I'm leaning towards a pair of the Exer-Walk™ shoes with the BioFoam™ cushioning but the vegan black Solar shoes would look cute for work-I might have to get both! Earth Footwear makes everything simple for you from helping the environment with proceeds going towards EarthShare® ($5). They've already contributed $5,000 but that is a drop in the bucket compared to the potential of what we can do to support the environment when we buy our spring and summer shoes (you know you need new tennis shoes or sandals) from an environmentally friendly shoe company like Earth Footwear!

"If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive."
--Audre Lorde
Hey readers! If you'd like to have an account on this site (so that you can post comments), or for further information about what you see here, get in touch through the contact page.
This post is probably just for me, or perhaps more a record, but I wanted to note that I spent some time today (my first official holiday weekend I've had off in some time) working on this site. A real let's-sit-down-and-do-this afternoon, which hasn't happened in some time. Really it's hard to say that I worked as much as my partner-in-Drupal (I tend to imagine what I'd like to happen and then he figures out HOW), but together we did some theme altering that I'd wanted to change for some time, and some cleaning up of a lot of lingering weirdnesses.*
I've been having a lot of problems with bots and spam, also, and since really the folks who comment here tend to be people I know anyhow, and since I've opened up anonymous comments I've gotten so much spam that I would never have been able to find the legitimate needle in that haystack), I've turned all the commenting/account-creating features off. If anyone has anything they'd like to comment on or would like an account, there's a link to the contact page that should show up on the left hand side of each page now. I'm pretty accessible via this page and various emails that I'm sure are on the web too, so I hope that this change on the site doesn't stifle any conversations that could happen or make it less inviting.
I wanted to write about this here to keep a small record of all of the pruning and thinking that goes into maintaining even just a small site that takes up just a small corner on the web, like this one. Ideally it would get more affection and content/updates than it does, but whenever I tweak it to be closer to what I want it to be, it's pretty exciting.
Oh and thanks mjg for all of your help today!
*If you're really interested, here's a few things we changed:
And reminds me that I should do some maintenance on my site, too.

Click on the highlighted areas below to find out what the region's fund pickers are saying
Globe image source: Creative Commons via Wikipedia, creator Strebe
How analysts are positioning their portfolios for emerging markets
The view from Portugal: Andreea Surdo, Banco BPI
We prefer boutiques that are specialised in this asset class and have a long-term view regarding their investment in these countries, even an activist attitude towards the companies they own in their portfolios.
We have a positive outlook for the emerging countries, regarding GDP growth and positive demographics, and this is why we prefer equities over bonds in our strategic allocation. Our exposure to emerging market debt is a rather tactical one, even though we recognise that in the fixed income universe this asset class is likely to perform well over the next three years.
In our portfolios, we invest in the First State Emerging Equities fund and recently bought into the HMG Globetrotter fund for its unique approach to investing in these countries. The fund has a preference for companies in developed countries which generate a high percentage of their revenue from developing economies. These businesses tend to have relatively high financial transparency and better corporate governance. Some investors consider this fund as global rather than emerging markets.
Our allocation to emerging equities has increased recently, due to our positive outlook on the asset class.
The view from Chile: Pablo Salcedo, Principal Asset Management
We believe in active management and look for strategically sound long-term portfolios. Our top-down decisions are made internally, and the result is typically regional selection, ie we decide on over or underweight positions for Emerging Asia, Emerging Europe and Latin America.
Security selection decisions are implemented through third party funds and for this we follow a rigorous fund selection process. Some of our portfolios are region-specific, and in those cases the emphasis is on fund selection.
Our outlook is positive. We certainly take into account some negative factors that are already well known: China will not grow at the high rates we have seen in the past, domestic demand in the emerging world is taking time to materialise.
However, structural forces are stronger than these factors. By that we mean that emerging economies have a long way to go in terms of growth, and as opposed to most of the past century, now the institutional and political base seems to be going in the right direction.
In the current global environment we would probably still favour EM bond funds. We believe their risk/return profile is very attractive for any global portfolio. In addition, with EM fixed income we can chose whether to buy funds in USD or local currency, and we value that additional degree of freedom.
Among the funds we invest in are the Pictet Emerging Hard Currency Debt, and Investec Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt.
In the past three months we have increased our exposure to EM equities. Towards the end of last year we thought most of the bad news was already reflected in valuations and given good fundamentals and our long-term view, we thought a marginally higher exposure was justified.
The view from Sweden: Peter Ahl, Mobilis Kapital
Strategically there are of course many fundamental reasons to have some of your money invested in emerging markets. Lower company valuations and better earnings prospects than developed markets will support equities together with improving macro data and easy access to liquidity through loose monetary policy.
We believe EM stocks will generate good absolute and relative returns over the coming three years as the global economy slowly recovers. Risk appetite is likely to increase now there appear to be fewer tail risks concerning the eurozone debt crisis and the US fiscal cliff. These factors combined with diminishing returns from bonds should boost emerging market stocks.
Tactically we look at emerging market equities as a beta provider when the investment environment is in a risk-on mode. We are therefore close to our maximum weighting in this asset class across all of our mandates.
We think emerging markets is a good environment for active fund managers with research capabilities to outperform vs passive funds, and have been invested for some years with Aberdeen and their Global Emerging Markets fund and Global Emerging Markets Smaller Companies fund, which have provided very good returns.
The view from France: Bernard Aybran, Invesco Multi-Manager
When it comes to investing in emerging assets, the usual equity/fixed income split might need some kind of re-assessment.
For a European investor, it's likely the risk-on/risk-off border may be better defined by the currency exposure than by the stocks/bonds divide. Local currency debt brings many risk-on features, while external debt would better suit a risk-off strategy.
After years of compression, emerging local currency debt still brings one of the highest yields available to global investors, which is a precious and uncommon feature these days. External debt now enjoys structural inflows that, alongside mostly improving fundamentals, keep the market well bid.
Though overvaluations exist, emerging stocks are, on average, most reasonably priced and offer some interesting opportunities.
We predominantly gain exposure to emerging assets through ETFs, whether global, regional or country specific. However, this cheap investment vehicle comes with a few caveats. In particular, the bid-offer spreads can be an issue, in particular if the trading takes place when the underlying market is closed.
The main changes to our emerging allocations during the last quarter of 2012 have been increasing the Chinese stocks, mostly at the expense of our local currency debt exposure.
The view from the Netherlands: Rico Bosma, Wealth Management Partners
Recently we took some profit on global high yield via the Pimco Global High Yield fund. After the huge rally in this asset class we think the yields are now too low.
We have re-allocated the proceeds from global high yield into emerging market equities and added to the funds we already owned. This is because we have a positive view on emerging markets over the next few years which look relatively cheap compared with developed equity.
Yields in emerging market bonds have come down a lot and we favour equity over bonds.
Due to expected currency appreciation we still have an allocation to the Franklin Templeton Emerging Market Bond fund run by Michael Hasenstab.
When it comes to equity we're not smart enough to make regional calls in emerging markets. That's why we have decided to buy one Asia ex Japan manager and two global emerging market managers.
In Asia we favour Franklin Templeton's Asia Growth fund run by Mark Mobius. He had a difficult year last year, mainly because of an energy bet, but we are sticking with him.
It is very difficult for active managers to outperform on a consistent basis in global emerging equities. For this reason we have two allocations, one active and one passive. On the active side we own the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Opportunities fund managed by Richard Titherington and Amit Mehta.
The passive allocation is in the BlackRock Emerging Market Index fund. We had the possibility to buy this fund as an early investor and got very low, bond like, fees.

23 Melges 14s battle it out at the Melges 14 Midwinter Championship
18 March 2017
23 Melges 14s battle it out at the Melges 14 Midwinter Championship
Day One Regatta Report
SARASOTA, Fla. (Mar. 17, 2017) – The Melges 14 Midwinter Championship hosted 23 Melges 14s in Sarasota, Florida for the first event of the Melges 14 Tour. The Sarasota Sailing Squadron welcomed the Melges 14 fleet with open arms. This event's Melges 14 fleet hails from as far west as Maui and as far east as Cape Cod.
As the first sanctioned regatta for the growing Melges 14 fleet, the day's first race was a historic one. Charlie Buckingham took the race win in medium, shifty conditions on Sarasota Bay. Buckingham got off the line clean and was able to get into the pressure which filled from the right. 13-year-old Chapman Peterson had an impressive start. Peterson hit the starting line at full speed and punched ahead of the fleet right off the bat. Buckingham was first around the windward mark and was able to hold onto his lead until the finish. Behind Buckingham was Matthew Woodworth, Mitchell Rogers, Tim Llewellyn, and Sean Fidler.
The breeze throttled down to fragile, light conditions for the second race. The key to success was sailing through the pressure. Woodworth quickly adapted through changing conditions and consistently kept his boat in the breeze to earn the bullet in race two. A large left shift shook up the fleet halfway up the first beat. Bob Little and Mitchell Rogers capitalized on the shift to round first and second, respectively, at the first weather beat. The wind gradually decreased as the race continued. Woodworth won the race followed by Rogers, Buckingham, Sean Fidler and Little.
With a lack of sailable breeze but plenty of sunshine, race committee called for postponement following the finish of the second race. At least one sailor took a short siesta on the cockpit of the Melges 14 while others practiced their roll tacks, debriefed the previous races, or just soaked up some sun. The fleet floated for just over a half hour before race committee made the call to end racing for the day.
On Saturday morning the Melges 14 fleet kicks off the Melges 14 Tour with a special breakfast hosted by Melges Performance Sailboats at 9:30 a.m. Stay tuned to the Melges Performance Sailboats Facebook Page for regatta coverage throughout the weekend. Racing wraps up on Sunday, March 19th.
(PRELIMINARY – After Two Races)
1.) Matthew Woodworth: 2 · 1 = 3
2.) Charlie Buckingham: 1 · 3 = 4
3.) Mitchell Rogers: 3 · 2 = 5
4.) Sean Fidler: 5 · 4 = 9
5.) Bob Little: 6 · 5 = 11
