netscape 7.01 arrived recently, utilizing the pop-up blocking that already came standard in the mozilla browser that is derived from the same codebase. features of netscape 7.01 include:
� popup window controls – lets you block pop-up ads/windows
� home page group – allows opening of multiple pages at once for the "home" page
� new aol mail features – "unsend" e-mail, among others
� coppa compliance and improved security – greater control of certificates and more
the inclusion of netscape pop-up blocking is a marked reversal from parent company aol's previous strategy of not only forcing users to view third-party pop-up ads on other sites, but also pushing pop-up ads of its own on users. recently, aol changed its practices so that members no longer are forced to view third-party ads when logging in.
with netscape 7.01 pop-up blocking is off by default, and when enabled it initially allows pop-ups from aol and other third parties. however, astute users can disable those as well. version 7.00 of netscape didn't include any pop-up blocking, but pressure from earthlink's aggressive anti-pop-up advertising campaigns and unhappy users may have made aol change its tune.
check out the netscape 7.01 feature list and cnet.
rob's opinion
pop-up ads are garbage. let me say that right off the bat. on a slow connection i can easily close any pop-up window before i see the content of the window. in fact, i think that most of the higher "response" rate for pop-ups is from people trying to close the window and accidentally clicking on the ad.
the false assumption of a higher response rate is why even the least targeted websites out there can be paid up to us$8 cpm for pop-ups from the most mediocre ad agencies. to put that in perspective, rates for regular non-targeted ads through junk ad agencies can be as low as $0.25 cpm. that is worst case, but pop-up ads still pay much more than standard banners.
we've felt substantial pressure from ad agencies to serve pop-ups. in contracts, when types of ads to be served are listed, pop-ups are often listed first. most sites nowadays that use pop-ups throttle them so that users just get one per visit or something like that. even that is too much for me.
aol made a big step in the right direction here. you can fault the company for still allowing aol pop-ups when other pop-ups are blocked, and for charging $23.95 per month for having a service that previously shoved pop-ups down your throat (i love that earthlink commercial–"7.0? 7 point this! [zap,zap]"). to continue to remain competitive and collect that monthly revenue, aol's got to let people block pop-ups. personally, i moved away from internet explorer to mozilla to be free from pop-ups. if you are married to ie or an older version of netscape, try the free program killad, a 45 kb piece of assembly programmed art that blocks pop-ups.
the next big question is: will microsoft follow in aol's footsteps? if not, aol/netscape will gain browser marketshare.

|new netscape more useful (2:31pm est fri dec 13 2002)
for those that have aim or icg, it's very handy to have access in the same window as your browser. also, the tabbed windows is a wonderful feature. i find it much more convenient to have one interface open and switch between various tabs. additionally, at work i have a t3 connection and i still manage to see a faster download time for pages viewed in netscape as opposed to ie, even thoug ie starts up faster netscape is faster in the long haul. for a "dead" program they're sure doing more innovating than micro$oft. – by akiiba jd
|phoenix (2:57pm est fri dec 13 2002)
blocks popups too, and it's not so bloated as mozilla. i moved to mozilla, then to phoenix to be able to block popups. phoenix is small enough that i don't ever go back except for windowsupdate.com :(
opera is cool and small, and does block popups. but am i the only one who thinks it blows on *nix? they need to make it more uniform across platforms. also…every time opera fails on a web site, and i try mozilla/phoenix, and it works, i lose more respect for opera. it has a ton of cool features, but it simply isn't robust enough for me. the open source browsers are, for the most part (still some bugs in phoenix that annoy me, but they aren't too bad).
opera is a pretty little browser for windows (forget *nix) that brought some new ideas to the table. unfortunately, it has always been missing important features or has been broken in certain implemenations. of course this is true for ie as well…but ie's not part of the discussion. with tabbed browsing in mozilla, galeon, phoenix, etc., opera has started to lose its appeal. and it still takes to longest to load pages, no matter how many times they call it the "fastest browser on earth."
i hope moz/pho get better and better, and i hope the best for opera too. right now i feel that the open source browsers are winning the war, possibly even against ie. now if i could just get windows to preload phoenix instead of ie when it boots…

|re: i like ie6: big security problems again with ie6 (3:55pm est fri dec 13 2002)
ie6 security problem again and it has been discovered this week.
late last week, microsoft raised its threat rating for a security flaw in its internet explorer browser to "critical," in response to criticism of its initial assessment of the hole's danger. a
the first security hole exposed millions of web servers and pcs to potential hacking. that flaw likely affected the more than 4 million web sites using microsoft's internet information server
|switch off between opera & mozilla (4:10pm est fri dec 13 2002)
i like mozilla, but it is large and very slow to load (unless you have that 16+mb mem-res quick-launch on).
opera doesn't use a quick-launch like ie/moz/ns, and it loads just a bit slower than the others that "cheat"
one thing mozilla got me used to was the middle button to open a link in another tab (i keep trying this on opera, but forget it's ctrl-click).
i've purchased opera (back since ver. 5) and i sometimes get pages that do not load correctly in mozilla, so i use opera – unless it's an ie-only coded webpage, to which i usually take my business elsewhere.
i like windows, but i cannot stand ie and it's inherently insecure code. thank you mozilla! thank you opera!
i'll wait for phoenix to mature a bit before i switch to that. i appreciate tight code, even when short-sighted people feel it isn't necessary. nothing wrong with perfecting one's code.
just my $0.02 worth,

also you can find moz on a very diverse number of platforms.
in a shorter time than you think it will surpass ie…
the only reason ie starts faster on windows is that large parts are already in after loading the os…
also ms have played tricks to let competing products slower on windows…

to create a profile:
1. exit the browser. it is not possible to create a new profile while the navigator, mail, or any other component of your browser software is running.
the opening screen of the profile manager reappears, with the new profile listed and highlighted.
to set up your browser for the new profile, click start netscape 7.0. you'll be asked to register a screen name (if you already have one) for use with netscape webmail, netscape instant messenger, and custom my netscape page. if you don't have a screen name, click register now to get one.
if you don't want to register a screen name at this time, click cancel, and the program will open. to register a screen name while netscape is running, open the help menu and choose register netscape.
as you begin using the new profile, you will be asked for additional information as you perform tasks that require it�for example, checking your email. – by ns user

|netscape better than ie? (7:01pm est sun dec 15 2002)
i'd like to immediately discredit all of these inately anti-"micro$oft" people as well as those illegitimate offspring of bill gates because these two groups will never agree on anything.
from my point of view as a developer: netscape is inferior at handling javascript/jscript, vbscript, css, etc. netscape just hasn't seemed to get this right yet.
as a user: i haven't actually noticed that netscape is faster than ie for downloading pages. if it is, the speed improvement is negligible in my experience. what annoys me is that netscape does take awhile to load and seems really slow when you're clicking on menu items etc. it feels like you're using one of sun's development tools. as a java developer, i admit that swing is slow…but i digress.
other than the fact ie is ridden with security holes (i don't mean to make it sound so trivial), it's snappy to use and it can render any web page accurately.

|real world don't you know that ms fud will backfire on you. (8:11pm est sun dec 15 2002)
did you read the microsoft secret memo, that any fud you spread on open source, it may even backfire on you.
now for the facts:
although netscape navigator and internet explorer are both infamous for their browser-specific markup tags and spotty standards support, mozilla toes the w3c line. the w3c is a web standards organization that establishes guidelines for such markup languages as html and xml, among other tasks. "mozilla also features the world's best css (cascading style sheet) support," blizzard pointed out. "support for other web standards is also equally excellent, including support for all the various versions of html, xhtml and � xml."
open source advantage
in addition to mozilla's other features, the browser has one feature that explorer is not likely to emulate. "mozilla is open source software," blizzard said. "while this might not seem important to end users, i think that it is."
he noted that mozilla's open code invites corporate use. "for people who have more technical needs, like people who have to maintain large corporate intranets and custom applications, the fact that mozilla is open source should be extremely compelling. they can change it in any way they want, make fixes that might need to be done, and deploy it in the way that they want."

2. eventhough more than one profile can be created, each has to be configured with the addressbook and other settings. its not a one time job, everytime a user added to one of profile has to be added in another profile.
3. mail received from one emaild cannot be replied though another emailid.

importing address books
if you have a netscape 7 address book from another user profile or computer, or if you have an address book from a previous version of netscape communicator or another mail program, you can import its entries into the address book window as a new address book. keep in mind that when you upgrade a user profile from an earlier version of netscape, your address books are automatically included, so there's no need to import them.
you can import address books from communicator, netscape 6, eudora, outlook, outlook express, or text files (ldif, tab-delimited (.tab), comma-separated (.csv), or text (.txt) formats). when you import an address book, mail & newsgroups creates a new address book with the imported entries.
you can also import mail messages and settings from communicator, eudora, outlook, and outlook express.
to import an address book, begin from the mail window:
1. open the tools menu, and choose import. you see the mail import wizard.
tip: communicator address book files (pab.na2) are stored in your user profile directory (for example, c:program filesnetscapeusers, where users contains the user profiles directories).

setting up additional mail and news accounts
you use the account settings dialog box to add a new account or to change information for an existing account, including:
* mail and newsgroup server settings (for example, message deletion and download preferences)
to add a new account or change settings for an existing account, begin from the mail window:
1. open the edit menu and choose mail & newsgroups account settings. you see the mail & newsgroups account settings dialog box. you can perform these tasks:
the default account is the one that you want to log into and (for imap accounts only) automatically check for new messages when you first start mail & newsgroups. (for pop accounts, you must always click the get msg button to get new messages.)

Remember the coconut muffins I shared on Monday? Well I am going to let you in on a little secret. The batter also works great for pancakes; and just like the muffins they are high in protein, healthy fats from the coconut, and fiber that makes them a great breakfast choice to fuel your whole morning.
A few tips about working with coconut flour. It's incredibly absorbent and will soak up any liquid you add to it. These pancakes are on the thick side for that reason, but if you want something thinner just add more milk or even water. You can thin out the batter as much as you like. You can also add some shredded coconut (unsweetened for low carb/Paleo), fruit, a mashed banana, chocolate chips, or nut butter to the pancakes to mix up the flavors. My personal favorite is shredded coconut and a touch of lime zest in the batter. Yum.

We understand you have needs and want to share with others but we did hear a rumour that you can use this thing called GOOGLE SEARCH and find all manner of sites where PEOPLE HAVE NO CLOTHES ON!!! I know, right? We were surprised to find out that stuff was out there too. Seeing as theres apparently no shortage we do ask you dont share pornography on LiveLeak. It will be rejected.
This includes, but is certainly not limited to, bestiality, animal cruelty (context dependent), and how to build an atom bomb in your shed using only the items you can find in a kitchen cupboard. Please think about whether what youre uploading is legal, if it isnt legal where you live you COULD find yourself under scrutiny from your local law enforcement making our infractions seem a little tame by comparison. Obviously serious breaches of this rule (child pornography, uploader involved in serious criminal activity) will see us handing any information we do hold on you (IP, Mail Address, Time stamps) to the relevant authorities.
We fully get how the Internet leads to, shall we say, robust discussion. That being said any video uploaded solely to attack another member might well be deleted. Complaining that It took me hours or What about my freedom of speech? wont help.
Criticism is fine, even if its wide of the mark. We arent precious or delicate. That being said anything which can harm the site will be removed. Also, the staff cant and wont respond in kind so any outlandish attacks on them will see your media removed and account scrutinised. Our staff are here to keep the site running and online, they do not act in a malicious manner towards members because members are quite important to a user generated media site.
Comment Rules:
Yes, we get that you didnt like what someone said about your country / religion / favourite car but that isnt a good reason to lay into them and insult their mother. If reported and reviewed theres a good chance such a comment will earn you an infraction. Claiming it shouldnt matter because Its just the Internet will see us putting you in the imaginary list of dumb people to punish.
Commercial spam will result in an immediate ban of any account. Any other member spamming in one or more threads repeatedly (text or image) will receive infractions and possibly the removal of their account.
You must not post the personal information of another member. It doesnt matter if youve gone full stalker on them or found it where theyve posted it on another site you must not share it here. The exception to this would be that the person concerned has already shared said information right here on LiveLeak.com. If thats the case its their choice. This includes photographs BTW.
Yes, its always fun to take someones image and manipulate it in the image editing software of your choice. The caveat is that if the owner of that image isnt happy well remove it, further uploads of the same image will result in infractions.
We do not tolerate racial slurs on LiveLeak.com. We may occasionally look at context but on the whole wed prefer it if you didnt post them. The reason for this is not an issue of sensitivity but rather us not wanting LiveLeak.com to fail and, unchecked, slurs would genuinely hurt the site. Please dont use them, you can surely manage to put across your point without them and your freedom of speech isnt affected.
We cant force people not to be ignorant and we cant legislate people into being more tolerant. No matter how ignorant we personally find racism its not our place nor responsibility to beat it out of people. Racism is a part of the human condition and its found in people of all creeds and colours. The only way to combat it is to listen to each other and being overtly politically correct and punishing people for views theyve probably had instilled in them from a young age isnt going to help with that, quite the opposite. Whilst we will draw the line at the more extreme forms of racism we arent going to tell people who to like. Talk to each other, reason with one another, and accept ignorance is only defeated (if it can be defeated, it cant always) with enlightenment.
Threatening other members is not cool and is sometimes illegal depending on what youre threatening them with. Ideally youll sort it out between yourselves before we have to get involved. Any serious threats will be dealt with immediately but we ask you to keep in mind that if you have an anonymous username and nobody knows where you live then a threat coming from a person in another country isnt actually putting your life in imminent danger so we might try and resolve such a situation without banning everyone concerned and sending in the military.
The clue is in the title. Private Messages are indeed private and you really shouldnt share them on the site. If you have an issue with private messages from other members please remember that you can block them. If you believe you need staff to look into it wed ask you keep in mind that neither mods nor admins can simply look at your PMs. LiveLeak isnt set up that way.
Its just rude and dumb, dont mistake criticism for being an absolute buffoon. If you attack the staff well issue you with infractions and / or ban you. Its pretty simple.
We arent here to protect anyones gods nor are we here to protect atheism. If someone insults your god (or er lack of god) then you can either discuss it or suck it up. If you simply lash out and attack someone for it youll simply get infractions. We will dismiss any requests to protect a religion and if you repeatedly report comments simply because someone else is saying something nasty about your god / messiah / scientific beliefs then well take away your ability to report comments.
Someone insulting your nation or nationality isnt a reason to insult their mother. Be adult about these things, if youre so convinced your nation of birth is so amazing you have to be proud of being born there why would you care what a foreigner says anyway? Discuss or move on.
We understand some members are horrified by the idea our mods are anonymous. Whilst wed obviously never point out the hypocrisy of such complaints by people using anonymous usernames on the Internet we might point out that this method allows us to recycle mod accounts and protect the identity of the mod so that if they are a member of the site they can continue to enjoy the site without people getting on their case.
Most often claimed by people who repeatedly break the rules. Funny that.
The accusation of bias is one we obviously see quite often. Mostly its made by people whove broken our rules in some way and decided that indicates a bias on the part of the staff. As an organisation LiveLeak remains as unbiased and non-partisan as it can be. One way of achieving this is by having people on staff from many different countries, beliefs, and backgrounds and having nobody being able to act without accountability.
Where we think there is merit in the complaint we will investigate the actions of the mod concerned.
LiveLeak.com is a privately owned site. As such we reserve the right to remove any media or accounts without notice or explanation. We also reserve the right to refuse you an account without entering into correspondence.

Dear Medhi,
In this crazy world we live in, someone you've never heard of or will probably never meet, feels, as a Juventus fan, that its ok to write to you on an internet page to say welcome. But here I am, and there you are, somewhere, preparing for the new season today.
But I'm writing this with real meaning when I say welcome, because you are now at a club that is different, and a club where the fans genuinely care about their team. Now I'm quite sure every fan of any team would say that, but at Juventus, you're not just a player, you a Juventus player and that means you're part of our family. You are now one of us, and you are now family (you're welcome round for tea anytime mate).
Welcome to a bond with a set of fans that will not just sing your name, but look out for you, welcome to a ground where the feeling is different, a sense of history, family and warmth, of times shared and where the outside world and press are invited in but never truly part of it, welcome to a place, a sense of place, a culture that sets us apart from the rest of them.
I've read about your upbringing, it must be very odd to have your everyday shared with millions, your history available for analysis and comment by strangers, and then to be called 'crazy' by these people who haven't a clue. They are the crazy folk, they are the ones who think its ok to write about other people as if they are professional pyschologists, mind readers and judges of character. Not you.
Well, welcome to a club that sets apart from that world. Juventus is a club that does it differently, where the emotions are heartfelt not invented, the flags are fabric not plastic and the noise deafeningly sincere.
Juventus' great players have all been special, and different and gifted and marvellous to watch, and all of them acknowledge the club has a special place in their hearts. You are brilliant at your job, wonderful to watch, and you arriving here has made a lot of people excited. You have the gift of creating emotion in men's hearts, that's the real meaning of football, and I hope I speak for all Juventus fans when I say, have the best time of your life here, have a great career and score lots of goals sure, but really, truly, have a great life whilst at our club.
In some ways, Medhi, welcome home.

We assure that solid waste disposal is in accordance with state regulations and that the County's required Solid Waste Management Plan is up-to-date and state approved.
Goals and Objectives for Solid Waste Management
Solid Waste Management includes post closure care and monitoring of the County's closed landfill shown in the photograph above. Grass mowing is an important part of post closure care, because the landfill has been capped with several layers of materials designed to keep water from infiltrating down into the landfill's layers. Care is taken to preserve the cap and protect it from anything that could potentially disturb it, including trees putting down roots on it.
Solid Waste Management also includes management and inspection of the County's active landfill, the Middle Peninsula Landfill and Recycling Facility which is owned by the County and operated under contract with Waste Management, Inc. One of the terms of the contract is a 2,000 ton/day limitation on the amount of materials that WMI is permitted to dispose each day.
The County benefits from this limitation in that it gives the landfill
an anticipated useful life of at least 50 years.
Waste Management also operates the County's convenience centers which are located throughout the County and provide drop-off points for household refuse as well as recyclables. Signs are posted at each convenience center to show the recycling rate for the previous month.

One of the bestselling e-cigarettes on the market, the new and improved Vype ePen is available in a range of colours and delivers a great vape every time.
The Vype ePen has a very simple system which is both high performance and powerful. The flavour cap refills could not be easier to change and there are a range of different flavours to choose from. All the Refill Caps are made using quality ingredients right here in the UK and can be bought in packs of three. The flavours available in the refills range include golden tobacco, cherry, infused vanilla, mint and fresh apple.
Each ePen has a choice of two different power settings, with an option of 300 puffs on the higher setting or 360 puffs on the lower settings (this varies dependent on your individual vaping style). Real research and development went into the creation of the Vype ePen and the views of over 200 vapers and smokers were taken into account to deliver the ideal vaping experience.
In their own words the Vype ePen makes it easy to simply 'pick, click and vape' and this innovative yet straightforward function means these ePens are becoming more and more popular with people transitioning from traditional cigarettes. It isn't only people who are new to vaping who can enjoy the Vype ePen, but it is a popular choice for newcomers. The range of colours makes it stand out a little more than many of the other options on the market too. It features all the safety options you could need, including a cut off feature and also circuit protection.
This ePen is the ideal choice for anybody considering vaping who isn't sure where to start. It is discreetly designed (although slightly bigger than the similar My Von Erl kit) so you can keep it easily in your bag or pocket and its refills are straightforward to load, taking less than 10 seconds to slot into place. Thousands of people across the UK are already huge advocates of the Vype ePen and once you give it a go you'll surely see why.
Vype is a brand that offers a diverse range of e-cigarette and vaping options. They dream of a world with a wider range of smoking alternatives and have set out to create a good selection of them. Vype ePen Caps became part of their range in 2014 when the Vype ePen was also launched. Unique to this device they are simple to use and easy to fit in, slotting easily onto the battery of the device and allowing the e-liquid to flow easily from the cap, with no risk of spill or mess. At The Electric Tobacconist® UK there are many offers and promotions which allow you to stock up on single or multiple refills of your favourite Vype ePen Caps.
The company behind Vype is British American Tobacco so it's clear they have a lot of industry experience and are able to produce high quality hardware and equally high quality e-liquids, refills and caps.
Catering to every kind of vaper from those who prefer a traditional cig-a-like flavour to others who have a sweeter tooth, the Vype ePen Caps collection spans many different flavours. One of the most intriguing flavours in the collection is vPure, which offers an entirely flavourless liquid, which has become more and more popular. Other flavours in the range include:
Fresh Apple: the zest and zing of green apples has been lifted with the addition of cool, biting mint.
Infused Vanilla: in contrast to the apple, this vanilla e-liquid is creamy and sweet with caramel undertones and warmth.
Blended Tobacco: the most traditional flavour in the collection, toasted tobacco notes are rich and authentic.
Golden Tobacco: adding a little sweetness to that traditional tobacco flavour, golden notes of tobacco mingle with just a touch of caramel.
There are other fresh and flavourful options in the Vype ePen Caps range and all refills packs include three individual caps, with each cap providing around 360 puffs, on the basis of lab tests and an ePen set on a low voltage. You may find you get more or less puffs dependent on the level of your vaping.
Fans of the Vype ePen Caps range appreciate the high quality delivered for a fair and good value price. They enjoy the versatility of different nicotine volumes and also the opportunity to go for completely nicotine free caps and still enjoy the vaping experience. The option of a mixed flavour refill pack is also very popular as it gives vapers a chance to sample the full range of flavours without committing to buy in bulk. It's a great way of finding a new all day vape without having to experimental with full refill boxes of a new flavour.
The Electric Tobacconist® UK is a leading provider of Vype products, including their Vype ePen Caps range. You can choose between the many bulk deals on offer or simply opt for the single pack you require, but remember, if you spend £10 or more you'll get free UK delivery.

Fastest Drobo Ever, DroboElite, Brings BeyondRAID With Multi-Host Support to SMBs
SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - November 23, 2009) - Data Robotics, Inc., the company that
delivers the best data
storage experience ever, today announced DroboElite, the first iSCSI SAN storage that manages
itself. DroboElite is a powerful and flexible business class data storage solution
that brings Data Robotics' award-winning BeyondRAID technology to a broader
range of small and medium businesses (SMBs). The fastest Drobo to date,
DroboElite features a new hardware architecture that includes an enhanced
processing engine and dual high-speed iSCSI interfaces for 150 percent of
the performance of previous Drobo models. True multi-host support with LUN
affinity allows small and medium businesses with limited IT resources to
simplify management and reduce costs by consolidating storage across
multiple servers.
"We've been using Data Robotics storage for several years because it is so
simple to use and keeps our data safe. The new DroboElite solution takes
Data Robotics' technology to the next level. It enables us to pool storage
capacity across several servers, and the Smart Volume technology makes it
easy to efficiently provision, reclaim, and re-provision storage across our
business environment," said Tarun Chachra, CTO at KSL Media.
DroboElite delivers automated capacity expansion and one-click single- or
dual-drive redundancy for optimal data protection for Windows, Mac and
Linux machines. The new system extends the number of Smart Volumes -- Data
Robotics' unique thin
provisioning that pulls storage from a common pool of drives -- so that
users can now create up to 255 virtual storage volumes, making DroboElite
an ideal solution for companies that require storage solutions that can
scale with their infrastructure.
"As SMBs mature they typically deploy multiple servers in both virtualized
and non-virtualized configurations, creating a need for storage that is
easy to manage but has the flexibility to continually grow as the server
mix becomes increasingly complex," said Benjamin S. Woo, vice president,
enterprise storage systems, at industry analyst firm, IDC. "A unique thin provisioning approach like
Data Robotics' Smart Volume technology gives companies optimal use of their
existing storage and allows IT managers to more effectively manage their
entire IT network without wasting time and money on storage management."
DroboElite Features and Benefits
-- Multi-host Support -- Companies with multiple servers can easily add
or consolidate storage by connecting the DroboElite into their existing
TCP/IP network and utilizing the industry-standard iSCSI protocol.
-- Fastest Throughput of any Drobo Solution -- Enhancements such as
multiple stream optimization and dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for high-
speed iSCSI deliver best-in-class performance.
-- Tested VMware-ready Features -- With dual iSCSI ports and the ability
to create up to 255 Smart Volumes, DroboElite can support growing VMware
environments and advanced VMware functionality including VMotion, Storage
VMotion, snapshots, and high availability.
-- 8-Drive Capacity with Instant Capacity Expansion to 16TB and Beyond --
DroboElite ensures continuous data access by automatically expanding data
capacity and enabling IT managers to efficiently mix and match drive
brands, capacities, and speeds.
-- Advanced Thin Provisioning -- Smart Volumes allow companies to create
new volumes in seconds and manage them over time by pulling storage from a
common pool rather than a specific physical drive allocation. Smart Volumes
are also file system aware which allows deleted data blocks to be
immediately returned to the pool for future use.
-- Simplified Dual-Drive Redundancy -- Companies are protected against
the simultaneous failure of up to two hard drives without losing access to
their data. With a single click, companies can switch back to single disk
redundancy if capacity runs low without losing access to their data.
"Data Robotics' continued success is a testament to our providing the best
data storage experience ever. Our products are exceedingly simple and
straightforward to use while providing all of the features that SMBs need
to keep their data safe and accessible," said Dr. Geoff Barrall, CEO and
founder of Data Robotics. "We can deliver cost savings up to 90 percent
compared to other iSCSI solutions by combining cost-effective hardware with
robust iSCSI features. The new DroboElite takes our solutions to a
significantly higher level of performance and supports our mission of
bringing the benefits of BeyondRAID technology to a much greater range of
Pricing and Availability
DroboElite is currently available at a starting price of $3,499 MSRP, with
multiple configurations to $5,899 for a 16TB (8x 2TB) solution. DroboElite
is available now from select partners worldwide and on
www.drobo.com/droboelite. For a list of partners or to learn more about
DroboElite, please visit www.drobo.com/droboelite.
About Data Robotics
Data Robotics, Inc., the company that delivers the best storage experience

complexity. The revolutionary BeyondRAID technology frees users from making
the difficult and confining choice of "Which RAID level to deploy?" by
providing an unprecedented combination of advanced features and automation,
including single-
and dual-drive redundancy, instant expansion,
self-monitoring, data awareness, self-healing, and
an easy-to-understand visual status and alert panel. For more information,

It's hard not to spend the first few minutes of "Stain" with your jaw in your lap. He can't say that! you think, but he totally can. "He," in this case, is Arthur, the father of a 15-year-old boy (or is he a 15-year-old man? That's one of the play's more interesting questions), who spends the snappily written opening scene expelling a cloud of blue-tinted parental advice on race, sex, and the best time to apologize (never). Arthur's just one of writer Tony Glazer's multilayered characters, and already he's got our attention.
Glazer keeps our attention throughout the potty-mouthed play, though he seems to want it just to have it, rather than for the sake of a larger point. But "Stain" is nothing if not watchable, from the horrifying bonding between father Arthur (Jim O'Connor) and son Thomas (Tobias Segal) to the hilariously revolting insult contests between Thomas and his buddy George (Peter Brensinger).
"Stain" presents the grand bull moose winner of dysfunctional families — a tactic that has served writers from Tracy Letts to Christopher Durang very well. Like his predecessors, Glazer gets a lot of mileage out of doling out the family's nastier secrets one by one, though the last horror isn't entirely a surprise.
It's a credit to Glazer and his cast that "Stain" is not just one long exercise in trying to induce a heart condition in the members of the audience. Played by Segal, Thomas is such a good kid it's hard not to want something more for him than the hand he's dealt early in the play — better parents, more attention, a less set lot in life (his girlfriend has what most teenagers would consider very bad news).
The play doesn't completely work: Several scenes in the second act don't really serve any dramatic purpose, and the play is so full of surprises in its first hour that the little pointless asides later on goad us into toe-tapping impatience. Glazer spoils us in Act I, and during Act II we only want to hear things — funny things — we didn't already know before intermission.
Director Scott C. Embler has several fine actors to work with — Segal and Summer Crockett Moore as his mother Julia, especially — but he hasn't managed to get them all on the same page. O'Connor's great big shouting Arthur, who is perfectly fine in his scenes with Segal, doesn't really belong in the same play with Joanna Bayless' cheery Theresa (Thomas' grandmother). Somebody needs to adapt, though it's not clear who.
Embler and lighting designer Nick Kolin's decision to end every scene with a sudden blackout also proves a poor choice.
Nonetheless Glazer and Segal have managed to capture the exact moment of manhood with such precision that it's difficult not to like this play, and Glazer has given some wonderful layers of personality to people like Arthur, a horrible racist and abusive husband who is nearly on fire with protective love for his son.
Julia, too, seems to suffer from Plucky Single Mom Syndrome until Glazer asks us to judge some of her choices, first in one context, then another.
Seen from Thomas' frequently funny perspective (and occasionally his friend George's), these people are maddeningly inscrutable. "He just wound up and gave her the pimp hand," Thomas says, incredulously, of his father. It's upsetting, but what's a poor boy to do? Get a job at the Burger Barn? Get drunk? Get laid? Thomas tries all these, and, by the end of the piece, he's managed to grow up.
Glazer hasn't quite hit a bull's-eye with "Stain," but as he matures as a playwright, his plays will continue to be worth watching.

How Intellectuals Blew the Election "Crisis"
Last week, the Emergency Committee of Concerned Citizens 2000, an ad hoc group of intellectuals, entertainment industry figures, and others took out two ads in the New York Times concerning the post-election tumult in Florida. The first ad said ... well, it didn't say very much at all. The second ad said something that at least four people whose names appeared on the ad didn't agree with. The combined cost of running these ads was $125,795, or enough to purchase a four-year college education at almost any public or private university in the United States. To view the first ad ("The Election Crisis"), click here. To view the second ad ("We the People"), click here.
The ad campaign was the brainchild of Sean Wilentz, a professor of history at Princeton. Wilentz believed that the presidential election's failure to produce a clear winner threatened a constitutional crisis. In the middle of last week, he wrote up some language and sent it to Cass Sunstein, a professor of law at the University of Chicago. Sunstein suggested some changes, and Wilentz circulated a revised draft among 10 to 20 people. These people passed it along to other people, and in no time at all, Wilentz says, "signatures were pouring in." (There are now about 4,000, of which 2,646 can be viewed by clicking here.) Further revisions were made. A few anonymous donors (likely suspects include Joan Bingham, Robert DeNiro, Paul Newman, Harvey Weinstein, and Rosie O'Donnell, all of whom signed) agreed to pay the cost of running the statement as a full-page ad in the New York Times. Wilentz sent out an e-mail that said:
This will run in tomorrow's Times as a full page ad. (The text may get revised a bit before press time). Sign. And get me as many famous names as you can to sign it by 1 p.m. TODAY. EXTREMELY URGENT. Conservative names good if you can, but not essential. Mainstream. Famous/recognizable. With titles. HELP
The full-page ad appeared in the Nov. 10 New York Times. It began, "The outcome of last Tuesday's election is threatening to produce a constitutional crisis. This threat must be addressed with utmost solemnity and fairness to sustain the legitimacy of our national political process." True! It said that there was "good reason to believe that Vice President Gore has been elected President by a clear constitutional majority of the popular vote and the Electoral College." Also true! It said, "Governor George W. Bush has conducted himself honorably, with the laudable goal, shared by everyone, of ensuring that the election is settled as quickly as possible." This was politic, and probably not deeply felt. The text went on to say, "He has also proceeded, in some of his statements and actions, as if his election is assured. This is premature." True, and probably more deeply felt. There was a call for a "definitive conclusion" and some mumbo-jumbo about a bipartisan commission that was set up in 1876 to resolve the Hayes-Tilden fiasco. Then, all in capital letters, the ad called on the Florida Election Commission "TO EXPLORE EVERY OPTION, INCLUDING SCHEDULING AND SUPERVISING NEW ELECTIONS IN PALM BEACH COUNTY, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE." This was slightly risqué, because many people (including many signers of the letter) were unsure about whether a revote in Palm Beach County was really a wise idea. But since there was never much likelihood that the Florida Election Commission, whose members may or may not read the New York Times, would act without at least giving momentary consideration to the idea of a revote in Palm Beach County, even this portion was essentially meaningless. Among those whose names appeared in the ad were Paul Berman, E.L. Doctorow, Harold Evans, James Fallows, Todd Gitlin, Bianca Jagger, and Michael Walzer. Placement of the ad in the Times cost $94,878.
The ad appeared on a Friday. On Saturday, a second ad (cost: $30,917) surfaced on the Times op-ed page. This ad occupied just a quarter of the page, which meant it had to be rewritten to fit the space. According to Wilentz, the rewrite man was Harold Evans, who in addition to shortening the text sharpened it considerably. "Harry didn't think he had changed the meaning," Wilentz told Chatterbox, "but he had." It's probably more accurate to say that Evans considered the original ad's only logical purpose--to call for a revote in Palm Beach County--and made it easier for the reader to grasp. This is what Evans, as an editor, is trained to do.
Unfortunately, many of the people who had signed the original ad in a rush of adrenaline had never fully reconciled themselves to the idea that a revote in Palm Beach County would be desirable. As time wore on, their distaste for the idea grew. (Al Gore was going through a similar mental process around the same time.) Sunstein was furious when he saw the op-ad. He told Chatterbox today that he no longer considers a revote worthy of "serious consideration." He had already experienced mild butterflies on viewing the first ad because he hadn't known he was joining something called an "emergency committee," and he didn't really believe the nation was in an emergency. Still, he'd stood by the first ad. He couldn't stand by the second. "I wouldn't have signed it, I don't agree with it, and I was very upset to see my name associated with a position that I reject," Sunstein told Chatterbox.
Sunstein's dismay about the op-ad was shared by two other law professors whose names appeared in it: Ronald Dworkin of New York University and Bruce Ackerman of Yale. The three of them wrote the following letter to the New York Times, which has not yet been published:
We did not see or approve, and do not approve of, the Saturday advertisement on the op-ed page of the Times, which included a number of alleged "signatories," including us. The advertisement calls, far too prematurely, for new elections in Florida. We never saw the text and would not have signed it if we had.
Chatterbox checked in with a couple of other people whose name appeared in both ads. One of them, Todd Gitlin, said he was mildly irritated that he hadn't been consulted on the rewrite but didn't disagree with what it said. The other, James Fallows, indicated in an e-mail to Chatterbox that he did disagree:
My understanding of the original ad was that it called for paying big-time attention to this Florida problem, with steps "up to even a revote" or something like that. I signed on for two reasons: at that moment, it seemed worth paying attention to the general predicament of Florida (remember, this circulated about a day after the election); and it seemed to me to call for various redress attempts, including possibly a revote, but NOT EXPLICITLY a revote. I understand all the reasons a revote wouldn't work. At the time I saw it, I was more in favor of the general cause of saying "Hey, look at Florida" than I was upset about the revote call, because obviously that would never happen. ... If it had been stated as "revote or nothing," I wouldn't have signed up. ...
What lessons may we draw from this fiasco? One is the need for important people to distrust the Get-Me-the-Guy-in-Charge impulse when it surges forth in moments of high national drama. It is born more of self-importance than of reason. We all experience it, but big shots are able to act on it in a very public way that they're apt to regret. Another lesson is that the value of intellectual opinion--that it reflects greater knowledge and depth than you typically hear from a talk-radio caller--is lost when intellectuals shoot from the hip. Yet another lesson is that on all matters but those of the starkest simplicity, intellectuals look like asses when they attempt to make group pronouncements. Their combined brainpower is reduced, not enhanced. A final lesson is that there has got to be a better way to spend $125,795.
Conflict-of-interest note: Chatterbox is a former employee and friend of James Fallows. He is also a former employee of Harry Evans, whose wife employs Mrs. Chatterbox. Evans and Chatterbox experienced some friction two years ago over Fallows' firing as editor of U.S. News & World Report. This resulted in Chatterbox's own departure from U.S. News. Chatterbox considers this ancient history now and presumes the other parties feel the same way.

East Rutherford, N.J. -- My initial observations from the Seattle Seahawks' 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium:
1. Legendary Legion
Seattle's Legion of Boom-led defense will be compared with the best defenses in NFL history after their lights-out performance against Denver. The Seahawks put on a show on the biggest stage in sports, completely shutting down the NFL's top-ranked offense and one of the best quarterbacks in league history.
Seattle held Denver without a first down for the first 19 minutes and without a score for nearly three quarters. New Orleans Saints fans had seen this movie before. It was almost a carbon copy of what the Seahawks did to Drew Brees and the Saints' high-powered offense in the regular season and playoffs.
2. Not-So-Super Manning
Peyton Manning will be roasted for his performance. It will be a merciless attack on the New Orleans native. And clearly he played well below his historically high standards.
Manning did the one thing a quarterback simply can't do against the Seahawks. He gave them the ball. His final numbers -- 34 of 49 for 280 yards, one touchdown -- won't look bad in the historical annals. But the number that will stick with Manning is three -- his turnovers (two interceptions, one fumble).
Not all of the giveaways were Manning's fault, but he knows better than anyone how critical ball security is in a game like this against a defense as tough as Seattle's.
3. Happy Returns
For the second consecutive season, the Super Bowl champion returned the second-half kickoff for a touchdown. Last year, it was the Baltimore Ravens' Jacoby Jones against the San Francisco 49ers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. This time it was the Seahawks' Percy Harvin.
If there were any doubts this would be Seattle's night, they evaporated after Harvin's 87-yard kickoff return for a score. Harvin's return eclipsed the 69-yard interception return for a touchdown by Malcolm Smith, who was awarded the game's MVP for his big play and fumble recovery.
4. Oh, snap!
The first snap proved ominous for Manning. A miscommunication with center Manny Ramirez resulted in a botched shotgun snap and the loose ball shot into the end zone, where Knowshon Moreno pounced on it for a safety.
Twelve seconds into the game, Denver trailed. And after the Seahawks added a field goal on the ensuing drive, the lead quickly grew to 5-0, then 8-0 on Seattle's next possession. Denver never recovered.

Often touted as one of the greatest voices ever, there is zero question about Christina Aguilera's talent. Her myriad of, um, questionable looks through the years, however? Well, that's another story entirely. What we will say is that the coach on The Voice looks ah-mazing this season! What's her secret weapon? Makeup artist Scott Barnes! That's right, the man behind the contoured faces of celebs like Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian has turned his makeup brush to 31-year-old Christina — and it has made all the difference! In Touch caught up with the makeup mastermind himself... here's what he had to say about the former "Dirrty" and now ladylike Christina Aguilera:
Christina looks incredible! What prompted her change to this softer look?
Honestly, it was my prompting that softened and refined her look. Christina didn't really want to change anything, but sometimes, too much of too much is definitely too much. I cut back on the bronzer and redefined her look a bit, while keeping to who she is. She has a very expensive voice and I wanted her look to reflect that. For example, if we go with a red lip, I try to downplay the eye a bit and make it more sultry.
Does Christina like her new look?
She's very opinionated about the way she looks, but she really likes the end result. She looks beautiful.
Do you think Christina will keep this softened new style?
It was fun playing with her look, but at the end of the day, the girl loves her makeup!
Christina seems like she'd be a makeup artist's dream to work with because she isn't shy about experimenting! Christina is a dream to work with! And I am so excited to hear her new music, which is coming out soon — I always look forward to what she has in store for us!
Christina, you sure do look beautiful... "no matter what they say." For more on Christina's wild looks from yesteryear, pick up a copy of this week's In Touch today!

Vancouver, Thursday, May 12, 2011
Good morning and thank you for inviting me to speak to you today on the subject of Canada's communities.
In 2017, six years from now, our country will be celebrating the 150th anniversary of Confederation. Since my installation, I have been inviting Canadians to envision the country they desire. With this in mind, I would like to pose to you the following questions: What do we want our communities to look like in six years? How can we achieve this outlook? How can we create smarter, more caring communities?
To answer these questions, though, we must first explore one of the themes of this conference: "Where are we now?" By taking stock of Canadian communities today, we are better able to see where we want to go in the future.
First, although our communities are disparate and scattered, we are nonetheless united under commonalities. It is this togetherness that defines Canada. Despite our differences and the unique challenges we face, and regardless of language or culture, we are all Canadians.
Another aspect brings us together—as Canadians, yes, but also with the rest of the world. We live in an increasingly global society, where borders are no longer barriers to the exchange of ideas. And, as technology evolves, so too does our society, faster than at any other point in our history.
Think of the fact that it took the printing press in Western Europe—one of the great communications revolutions—almost three centuries to reach a majority of the population. The Internet—the latest communications revolution—took less than a decade to reach over half of the globe.
What this shows us is that no community and no individual in Canada lives in isolation. Let me give you an example of this.
In February, my wife, Sharon, and I had the privilege of visiting Yukon. The original itinerary had included a visit to Old Crow, Yukon's most northerly community. To get to Old Crow, however, is no easy task, which we discovered when our visit there was cancelled due to bad weather.
Each resident of Old Crow, three hundred in total, contributes to the community in some way; they lean on each other to ensure that their way of life is preserved and that their community is self-sustainable. Although Old Crow is geographically remote, the community is far from isolated.
Technology allowed Sharon and me to chat with students and educators in Old Crow via video uplink; a virtual visit, if you will, to a distant community with a proud people. So you see, even the situation faced by the citizens of Old Crow is not enough to keep them from contributing to Canada.
However, while we must realize that no community lives in a vacuum, we must also not lose sight of the unique challenges that individual communities face, as well as each one's distinct goals and available resources.
Old Crow, for example, has far different challenges as a small, northern town than does Vancouver. Both, though, must assess the strengths and weaknesses of their assets, such as land and infrastructure, and, more importantly, the skills, talents and potential of their people. In this way, communities are able to identify the gaps and to recognize the resources available to them.
Finally, there is one more relatively new tool to use when measuring where communities are today that goes beyond the standard methods. The Canadian Index of Wellbeing, based at the University of Waterloo, seeks to improve our lives by helping us to understand key factors that influence our quality of life.
The Index uses eight overall categories, with a subset of indicators, to gauge the health of Canada and of Canadian communities. The indicators measure key, interrelated factors that affect our well-being. They provide a snapshot of our community life, our democratic engagement, our educational status and the vitality of our environment. They help us to determine the health of our populations, our living standards, our use of time and our leisure and cultural activity.
Collectively, this index helps us to determine trends in our overall quality of life, giving us a powerful tool for action. I know that community foundations have been involved with this index since its inception; you recognize it as another important way to assess how our communities are doing, on their own and as part of the whole country.
Knowing where we are, having identified the weaknesses and our potential, the question now must be: what can we do to close the gaps?
I have made it a priority during my mandate as governor general of Canada to speak of the vision of Canada as a smart and caring nation, and to focus on three pillars, all of which I believe play a vital role in Canadian communities.
In helping families and children, we are ensuring community continuity. In strengthening learning and innovation, we are creating community knowledge. And in encouraging philanthropy and volunteerism, we are cultivating community development.
For today's purposes, I would like to focus on volunteerism and philanthropy, two of the most important ways to elevate our communities, collectively and individually. In doing so, I will show that just as no community lives in isolation, so too do these pillars intermingle and support each other.
Canada is one of the most giving nations in the world. Each year, 12 million Canadians spend over two billion hours volunteering.
Many of these hours are spent in the community, helping those in need. I have seen this across the country, wherever I have gone. In food banks and in shelters, in hospitals and in community centres, Canadians of all ages are displaying heart in a multitude of ways.
This spirit of "neighbour helping neighbour" is prevalent in so many places, and I am proud to see this thriving in Vancouver as well.
It is fitting that this city is hosting this conference, as just over a year ago, communities across the country were united with the excitement of the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. We saw the enthusiasm and hospitality of our country's volunteers who helped out during the Games, proud to represent Canada.
I can only hope that when those volunteers went back to their homes, and when the adrenaline of the Olympics abated, they were able to take that passion into their own communities and be ambassadors for volunteering, because there should never be any doubt of the impact that volunteers can have.
A single drop of food colouring into clear liquid is enough to change its hue. That is what volunteers do every day: one good deed at a time, they are changing the world.
We must therefore take the time—as parents, as siblings, as teachers, as a society—to ignite and hand over the flame of giving. In fact, think of this exercise as the Olympic volunteer torch relay. By passing the flame from one torch to the next, by passing on the importance of giving from one generation, one community, to the next, we are ensuring that Canadians, particularly young Canadians, understand this vital part of our country.
So we have demonstrated that Canadians are caring, but we have to be smart about it as well.
Using innovative approaches, such as social media, can be advantageous in spreading a message and getting people involved.
Paul Hoffert, in his book, All Together Now, explored interconnectivity through technology. He had designed an online community, a kind of intranet for the neighbourhood, which served to bring people together. Using this tool, socialization in the community increased, trust in the community increased, and neighbours were able to help each other. These "habicons," as Mr. Hoffert called these communities, used technology to connect people in ways that would have been unheard of a few decades ago.
Yet, while we can rely on technology to link us, we should not forget the physical community.
During my time in Montréal, where I was principal and vice-chancellor of McGill University, I was honoured to be co-president of Centraide Montréal. This position opened my eyes to the community in which I was living, yet barely knew. It allowed me the opportunity to walk the streets, to experience and familiarize myself with the challenges and the triumphs of the people there.
It is important to inform people of your cause and goals, but it is equally important that people are given a chance to understand and to learn about the community of which they are a part. In this way, we are not only strengthening our volunteer sector, but we are also encouraging philanthropy.
Trust allows people to connect, to gain confidence and to rely on each other for the common good. This is the case in Old Crow, this is the case in the "habicons," and this is even the way in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands is the only country with a stronger volunteer sector than our own. One of the main differences between our societies is that they have been promoting trust in an official capacity, through the Central Bureau on Fundraising, for over 80 years. Those organizations with the Bureau's seal of approval have been closely watched and vetted, and are therefore trusted by the public. As such, they are able to attract more volunteers and contributors.
Giving, after all, always involves some measure of trust.
For many years, I played hockey, and being part of a team was the epitome of trust. The coach would drill that into each of us; that even the strongest and most skilled player could not go out onto the ice alone. I trusted that when I passed the puck, my teammates would be there to receive it; that when I went to the boards, that they would watch my back for the opposing team. I trusted them and they trusted me, which translated into wins. Trust is what any relationship is built upon, whether on a team or in the voluntary sector.
Community foundations work within Canada to strengthen our country at all levels: environmental, economic and societal. You have endeavoured to build trust, not only between you and volunteers, but also with other non-profit organizations, with all levels of government and with philanthropists.
You have worked hard to earn that trust, but you must work equally hard to keep it. Because, as Ken Dryden—another hockey man—wrote in his book, Becoming Canada: "Today's problems and today's opportunities are too big to handle alone. Collaboration, co-operation, working together—this is where the world is going."
The 150th anniversary of this country will unite communities across Canada in one, giant celebration. For today, I hope that you will set goals and priorities for what we want our country to be as we approach this milestone—as a smarter, more caring nation.
After all, Canadians have always imagined what can be and have worked hard to achieve it. We dream of new possibilities and set out to realize them.
In the words of George Bernard Shaw, a famous British author: "Some people see things as they are and wonder why. We dream of things that ought to be and ask why not."
Thank you.

A Christian group has filed a lawsuit against the National Institutes of Health alleging that the Obama Administration's stem cell policy violates federal law, reports the online newspaper Kansas Liberty.com.
The suit was filed in the federal district court in Washington, D.C., by James L. Sherley, an adult stem cell researcher at the Boston Biomedical Research Institute, and Theresa Deisher, R&D director at AVM Biotechnology in Seattle, Washington. It is supported by, among others, Nightlight Christian Adoptions, a group that encourages adoption of left-over embryos from fertility clinics. Sherley, it may be remembered, is the former Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who went on a hunger strike in 2007 to protest a lack of faculty diversity after he was denied tenure.
The complainants assert that federal policy, which allows the use of human embryonic stem cells but not their derivation by federally-funded scientists, violates the Dickey-Wicker amendment, a provision in the NIH appropriations law which prohibits federal grantees from doing research on human embryos. Federal guidelines "authorize public funding of research that depends upon and, indeed, requires the destruction of living human embryos," the group reasons.
Tony Mazzaschi of the Association of American Medical Colleges in Washington, D.C., says the suit hasn't "a chance in hell" of succeeding. A similar suit was filed last March in the Maryland U.S. District Court by Nightlight and others.
