Easy, realtime, system-wide Shellshock monitoring
The world hasn't had time to recover from the chaos generated from the Heartbleed OpenSSL bug, and we already have another massive vulnerability jeopardizing the whole internet. The CVE-2014-6271, also known as "Shellshock", targets bash, the most popular unix shell in the world, with a malicious environment variable that allows arbitrary execution.
Detecting Shellshock IntrusionsSince the bug is still very fresh and the patches are still under validation, it's critical to detect and log attack attempts to your systems. The typical way to do it is through network intrusion detection systems like snort, but this approach is less than ideal:
- It works by looking at the network payloads containing the attack signature, which can generate false positives, because you can't know if the payload actually generated a bash execution.
- It only sees network attacks coming from well known protocols, while Shellshock can come from a number of vectors, several of which have probably not been discovered yet. This means that many successful attacks could be missed.
The Shellshock ChiselUsing sysdig to capture all the bash executions is trivial*, but in order to make things even easier, we spent a couple hours today putting together a new sysdig release that contains a new chisel called shellshock_detect. The chisel captures all the bash executions for which the environment variables match the Shellshock signature, and for each of them it prints
- The time
- The victim process' name and pid (ie. the process that has been attacked with the malicious payload and that will execute bash)
- The injected function (i.e. what bash is going to execute)
tl;dr: Taking Direct ActionWant to see what happens on your machines? Just update sysdig, and then run:
If somebody is attacking you, you will start seeing an output similar to this:
sysdig -c shellshock_detect
TIME PROCNAME PID FUNCTION 13:51:18.779785087 apache2 2746 () { test;};echo "Content-type: text/plain"; echo; echo; /bin/cat /etc/passwd 13:52:31.459230424 dhclient 2896 () { :;} ; echo bustedSee here for the source code, if you're curious about how the chisel works. We're constantly working to come up with new and interesting uses for sysdig – if you have any ideas, we'd love to hear them. Comment below or tweet @sysdig. Stay safe out there. *For example, try:
sysdig "proc.name contains bash and evt.type=execve and evt.dir = <"

Day 80: What came before?, originally uploaded by susanvg.
Sometimes I take photographs because I am caught by the visual; sometimes photographs are about the story. I met a friend for brunch in a cafe in Toronto. The building it is in was built in the early 20th century as a factory for Model T Fords. We ate in what was once the showroom. Take away the tables, the counter, the people and picture the shiny new cars parked near the pillars. Perhaps a few people should remain in this image, marvelling over the vehicles, anxious to try one, yet reticent at the same time. Times were changing. In 2009, it is hard to imagine life without cars. We take them for granted as part of our lives and the landscape. But if these pillars could talk they would have other stories to tell.
Read more about the story of this building on this photograph.

Martha's brother George Christiansen and his wife, Rita, have lived in their Fairfield, Connecticut, ranch house for more than 15 years. The house had undergone several major additions over the years, but the original U-shaped galley kitchen remained unaltered.
George and Rita felt that the kitchen was too small, as only one person at a time could prepare a meal comfortably, and the laminated Formica countertop had a permanent burn mark and was coming unglued. Linoleum squares were popping up from the floor, while limited storage space in the outdated faux wood-grain cabinets meant that Rita had to stash her fine china in closets around the house. Pequot Remodeling, George's contracting firm, accepted the task of bringing the kitchen up to speed; Ellen Courtney, the firm's interior designer and production manager, refined plans for a renovation that the couple had drawn up years before.
The dining room, which adjoined the Christiansens' kitchen, went virtually unused, so instead of two small rooms, the Christiansens envisioned one space where they could cook, eat, relax as a family, and entertain guests. They wanted the space to be big enough for dinner parties but cozy enough for family suppers. The joining of the two rooms was accomplished with the removal of a load-bearing wall, and two small windows above the kitchen sink were combined into one large boxed bay window.
While their kitchen was under construction, the Christiansens relocated the microwave, oven, and toaster to the basement so that they could still cook meals at home. Rita says the family tried to keep meals simple so that cooking in their makeshift kitchen would be less hectic, and they often cooked outdoors on the grill as an alternative. To keep the rest of their house free from grit, the Christiansens laid down plastic floor mats surrounding the work area.
As the renovations proceeded, the kitchen was transformed with solid cherry-wood cabinets and a freestanding, cherry-wood kitchen island. George and Rita chose polished gray-green granite to top the counters and the island. The kitchen island is centrally located for easy access from all sides. It also holds a microwave and a warming drawer useful for warming dishes or keeping second helpings hot. The island is a perfectly positioned for preparing food and can also be used for a buffet during parties.
The Christiansens invested in restaurant-quality appliances for their new kitchen. They installed a professional Thermador range with an "ExtraLow" feature that allows the cook to simmer or cook delicate foods on a very low setting, as well as a dishwasher with a rustproof stainless-steel interior. George and Rita wanted a double oven, so they ordered two convection ovens, which are piggy-backed wall units.

Wool Cardigan
The cardigan is hand knitted on the Faroe Islands with 100% organic Faroese wool.
Sizes: small, medium and large
1.950,- DKK (price Faroese tax included)
1.560,- DKK (for export, Faroese tax not included. Plus transport costs)
100% organic Faroese wool
7 buttons
The wool used for this lovely cardigan is the Faroese Sirri wool yarn. Sirri yarn is 100% pure organic wool from the Faroe Islands. The wool has a rich texture and has not been chemically treated. It has a high lanolin content and has a comforting feel and smell. In the wild climate of the Faroe Islands, the sheep grow a thick coat with a rugged texture, which produces a yarn that may feel coarse to people who are used to commercially processed yarns. But once you give your knitting a bath, you will see it transformed into a soft, light and gentle fibre, and makes the piece weatherproof.
The pattern. The Faroese have a long tradition of knitting (hand knitting of course). The winter nights can be very long in this northern part of Europe and cold too. Knitting was traditionally what the women on the Islands tended to - knitting socks, underware and sweaters for themselves and their children, but mostly for their husbands and adult sons who went to sea. Not only has knitting a long history and tradition on the Faroe Islands, so does creating your own pattern. This pattern is inspired by the many beautiful Faroese Patterns - but this one, is a Shisa Brand pattern.

Maine People's Alliance has been fighting to raise Maine's minimum wage from $7.50 per hour to $12 per hour. But a job listing they posted offered less than $12.
The job listing for a part-time phone canvasser and organizer positions originally said people would work 21.25 hours per week for $429 biweekly, according to the Washington Free Beacon. That works out to $10.09 per hour, obviously less than the $12 minimum wage the group has said it wants instituted in Maine by 2020.
"Low pay is not OK. Maine families work hard and should be able to earn a fair wage. It's not right that a single mother of two can work full time and still not make ends meet for her family," Maine People's Alliance states on their website. "Raising the minimum wage is good for our communities, and good for small businesses. The Mainers who would benefit the most from raising the minimum wage are also the people who are more likely to spend that extra money in their communities, improving our local economies."
The job posting was edited after the Washington Free Beacon's report. It now offers $510 biweekly, which is exactly $12 per hour.
Mike Tipping, communications director for the people's alliance, told the Portland Press Herald that the original listing was a product of "bad math" and an "honest mistake."
"Of course we pay our canvassers above $12 an hour, and the reason our opposition is seizing on this lie is because they are desperate," Tipping told the Press Herald. "Maine people know the minimum wage is not enough to live on, and for thousands of seniors who can't retire and single parents who are struggling to raise kids on poverty wages, we're going to get this passed."

Keith Merrow is a studio guitar player, songwriter, producer, engineer, gear demonstrator, student and teacher. Keith hails from Portland, Oregon- USA. Keith has a sound that is true to his traditional metal roots, but with an original and modern execution.
Keith's music hobby quickly (and unexpectedly) became promising career in the music industry after he began sharing his music on the internet. Keith, a once reclusive hobbyist, was convinced by his close friends and family to share his music with the world. Through YouTube and social media outlets, his music has now been heard by millions of people since 2008.
In May of 2009, he released a self-produced EP titled "Lonestar Transcend". This EP was a compilation of songs that were first heard on Keith's YouTube page back in 2008. His early fans had begun asking for downloads of the songs he was playing on YouTube. These were simple songs that Keith had written in his spare time. Some of them dated back as far as 1995. This EP reflected the true bedroom/hobby player with its low production value and raw sound. Keith discontinued the release of this album a few years ago claiming "I never took those songs seriously, and I don't believe the listener should either."
Six months later, in November of 2009, came Keith Merrow's "The Arrival". This 10 song album has an epic and thought-provoking sound to it that he hopes will take you on a musical journey. The intense and often thematic songs on this album are punishing and brutally beautiful. Unlike the previous EP, The Arrival marks Keith's first album that he has written from start to finish, for the sole purpose of releasing a completed album to the public. The song "Pillars of Creation" has been loosely deemed "the 7-string guitar anthem" by his fans on YouTube.
On January 1st of 2011, Keith Released his second full-length instrumental album (under the truncated project name "Merrow") entitled "Awaken the Stone King". The album continues in the heavy, groove laden style of Keith's first two albums, and features a guest guitar solo from Jeff Loomis.
Just a few months later, In October of 2011, Keith released a traditional Death Metal album in collaboration with a good friend and fellow guitarist, Gord Olson. The project is titled "Demisery", and is a tribute to the great Death Metal bands that have influenced Keith and Gord's playing at a young age.
In 2012, Keith released an 8 song EP titled "Retrospecial". Unlike the previous concept/theme driven albums, Retrospecial is more of a light-hearted, in your face collection of songs that Keith feels are simply "fun songs". This album pays homage to Keith's favorite Sci-Fi shows and movies, as well as "Retro" video games, with tracks like "Spice Dealer", "Top Romulan", and "Secret Brick Chicken". He enlisted some of his favorite musician friends to appear on the EP (Jeff Loomis, Ola Englund, Gord Olson).
In 2013, Keith teamed up with friends Jeff Loomis, Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse), and Alex Rudinger and formed the band,Conquering Dystopia. They released their self titled album in March of 2014, after a very successful crowd-funding campaign to aid in the creation of the record. The band's sound is a modern twist on traditional instrumental "shred".
Throughout these album releases, Keith continued to post videos and gear demos featuring his music on YouTube. He majored in Multimedia in college, and would often use these videos as college projects. His prolific and thorough demonstrations gained the attention many companies in the music industry, including the largest manufacturer of guitar pickups in the world, Seymour Duncan. In addition to being a busy musician and music industry professional, Keith is currently employed by Seymour Duncan as their Media Production Manager and Artist Relations person for the Metal genre.
Keith is currently working on these musical projects-
- A full-length collaboration album close friend Wes Hauch.
- A second Demisey album.
- Another solo release.

Byron Dobell, a longtime editor at Esquire, who did stints as managing editor, executive editor, and editor-in-chief, died last weekend at the age of 89. Dobell arrived at Esky from Time-Life and was, according to David Newman, "a different breed of cat … a very staid, more formal person."
In Carol Polsgrove's definitive history, It Wasn't Pretty, Folks, But Didn't We Have Fun?, we learn that Dobell was a solid managing editor and a good foil to Harold Hayes for whom "Esquire seemed to the the Holy Grail; Dobell would come along and say, 'Look, folks, it's just a magazine.' … Pleasant, unprepossessing, Dobell brought to Esquire his Time-Life experience in orderly process."
Dobell was later executive editor of New York Magazine, editor-in-chief of Bookworld, and American Heritage. Oh, yeah, and he was also a fine painter.
Perhaps his most famous Esquire story concerns Tom Wolfe's remarkable debut for the magazine. Enjoy and salute.

The Orton Family Foundation's Community Heart and Soul Initiative is rooted in the belief that, "the strength of a community lies in the hands of its residents."
Its Community Heart & Soul Field Guide 2nd Edition summarizes the essence of wisdom gleaned from more than a decade of listening, learning, refining and partnering with more than a dozen small towns (under 50,000 residents). The field guide is both practical and comprehensive. It outlines an array of resources and tools that they have used and refined to promote proven, resident-driven approaches to community engagement and change that reflect genuine involvement that engage all sectors in planning so that small towns can build their own successful futures.
The Community Heart and Soul process involves eleven steps that are spread across 4 phases. It is an approach that is built upon the following 3 principles:
The Community Heart and Soul process is resident-driven and intentionally rooted in the shared aspirations and commitment of all residents and an appreciation of the unique characteristics of place. As noted by Orton Family Foundation Founder, Lynman Orton, "When a community takes the time to get to know itself, it gains a sense of identity and purpose that informs decisions about its future."

[Published in EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences, 3 (2016), no. 2, 209 – 267.]
This is a joint work with Seung-Yeal Ha, Dongnam Ko, and Xiongtao Zhang.
(To see the Kuramoto model)
(To see the Winfree model)
Synchronization of weakly coupled oscillators is ubiquitous in biological and chemical complex systems. Recently, research on collective dynamics of many-body systems has been received much attention due to their possible applications in engineering. In this survey paper, we mainly focus on the large-time dynamics of several synchronization models and review state-of-art results on the collective behaviors for synchronization models. Following a chronological order, we begin our discussion with two classical phase models (Winfree and Kuramoto models), and two quantum synchronization models (Lohe and Schrödinger–Lohe models). For these models, we present several sufficient conditions for the emergence of synchronization using mathematical tools from dynamical systems theory, kinetic theory and partial differential equations in a unified framework.

What Is DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) ? Docosahexaenoic acid, more commonly known as DHA, is a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid (PUFA) found throughout the body. It is a major structural fat found in the brain and eye accounting for up to 97% of the total omega-3 fats in the brain and up to 93% of the omega-3 fats in a specific part of the eye, called the retina. It is also a key component of the heart. Numerous research studies confirm that everyone, from infants to adults to the elderly, can benefit from a regular intake of dietary DHA.

text: My Wii has homebrew installed and I have tried to install USB loader 1.5 and checked out external drives. I looked on ebuyer forum and saw that 3 people had bought and successfully used a Western Digital Elements Mybook 500gb external drive. So bought this and ran it through the PC to create a raw partition. Downloaded WBFS manager 3.01 and formatted the drive. Loaded a few game ISO's onto I have and plugged it into the Wii. It does not seem to recognise there is a USB drive in it. I then had a further read and thought it might be my CIOS as when I first soft modded it I installed rev 7. so I downloaded and installed Cios 36 rev 13. Still no joy so I got my 4gb usb pen, formatted it to Fat32 and then formatted with WBFS Manager and plugged that into the Wii usb prt but still wont recognise it. The Wii will still not read it. Prior to all this I added USB loader GX as a channel. Can anyone guide me on what I do next? On the USB loader 1.5 it says error -1 but that seems to relate to it cannot see anything. Should I have uninstalled Cios rev 7 first as I thought it would simply overwrite it? Any help appreciated guys to a complete newbie to Wii's. EDIT apologies if I have offended anyone with the way it is worded, hopefully this amend is better.

Eager to mend some political fences prior to the 1986 U.S. Senate race, advisers to Gov. Bob Graham are suggesting he reappoint Dr. Larry Lerner of Hallandale to the board of the South Broward Hospital District.
Graham aides admit it was a snafu when Lerner, an effective board member with lots of community connections, lost his seat in 1981. The bungling was made worse when staff members first said Lerner would keep the seat, then reneged.
Now, with two seats due to come open in June, Lerner is being mentioned as a leading candidate for an appointment along with Davie accountant Arnie Simon.
Both have ties that make them attractive from a senatorial candidate`s point of view. Simon is former president of the Jewish Community Center of Greater Fort Lauderdale. Lerner is on a couple of governmental boards and is a well- known condominium leader.
In fact, Graham could not help but notice in 1983 when Lerner led 90 condominium association presidents in a fight to convince the Cabinet to block development of the Posner tract in Hallandale.
Both men also have expertise that could help the board, considering Simon`s financial background and Lerner`s 20 years as a physician.
During his previous stint on the board, Lerner didn`t duck any fights, arguing against the purchase of Pembroke Pines General Hospital and starting an investigation into billing practices that led to the resignation of the district`s lawyer.
Surprised he is being touted for reappoinment, Lerner said he would have to ``consider (it) very carefully`` if asked. ``For a guy who is supposed to be retired I would be undertaking quite a lot.``

As the end of summer approaches, with many children back in school, we can maintain a bit of summer by making lemonade (an easy recipe below). The expression quoted in the title of this post expresses a reality that can be applied to many situations in our lives.
What is trash, junk and unwanted by one, may be a treasure or treat of another. In our food supply, some variables remain junk, such as GMOs, artificial sweeteners, trans fatty acids, and refined sugar. However, many of us may indulge in food products containing this junk, whether knowingly or not. We can also have what we want by making different choices. We can choose organic, non-GMO corn chips and healthy lemonade as a soda alternative, without refined sugar!
As individuals we can choose whether we like tart or sweet lemonade and then choose our sweetener. We can do this in our lives. We can choose to see seemingly negative life situations in a "sweeter" perspective. Lemons and lemon water, though perhaps bitter or sour to taste, help alkalinize our body and hydrate our cells, adding some benefits, "sweetness" and another perspective on the initial taste.
As much of our food supply has hidden and unwanted sweeteners, our circumstances or life stories may also have parts we hide as well as unexpected surprises. Being human means we can think about these things differently and what a gift. Below, after the recipe, is a link to a short video that demonstrates this so beautifully. I hope you enjoy it. Perhaps your relationship to the sour and/or sweetness in your life may change?
Easy Yummy Lemonade
2-3 organic lemons
filtered water
stevia liquid
glass jar, quart-size
Cut lemons in half and squeeze juice into a quart-sized glass jar. Fill the rest with filtered water. Add about 5-10 drops of stevia liquid, to taste. I recommend either SweetLeaf or NuNaturals brand stevia.
I have made this as individual water bottles for the kids where I squeeze the juice, add water and a few drops of stevia for their bottle and off we go! If I am more organized, I make it the night before (right in their water bottles) and put it in the refrigerator in preparation for a hot day.
Enjoy your journey as you ebb and flow between sweet and less sweet and the tweaks we can make along the way.

Here's a working thesis with potential: you have highlighted an important aspect of the novel for investigation. However, it's still not clear what your analysis will reveal. Your reader is intrigued but is still thinking, "So what? What's the point of this contrast? What does it signify?" Perhaps you are not sure yet, either. That's fine—begin to work on comparing scenes from the book and see what you discover. Free write, make lists, jot down Huck's actions and reactions. Eventually you will be able to clarify for yourself, and then for the reader, why this contrast matters. After examining the evidence and considering your own insights, you write:

And men? ...
The most crazy final ever in IWC history... Matveev, Tomilov and Gadd kick out of the boundary at the same place - a place without any difficulty. The route just turned left, but these guys went straight forward. For luck they all are great sportsmen .
Ines Papert of Germany took first place in women's difficulty women, while second place was Petra Müller of Switzerland, and third place was Kirsten Buchmann also from Germany.
The men's difficulty was won by Dimitri Bytchkov of Russia. Second place and the new leader in men's Worldcup ranking was Harry Berger from Austria, and third place was Frenchman Stephane Husson.
At the awards ceremony, Michael Boos, President of ICCIC/CEGC held a little speech, where he honoured the work of all people, who made the competition in Saas-Fee again possible!
If you want to see what they mean by "crazy finals", take a look at the pictures and video. The pictures and video clips can be found at http://www.ice-time.com/iwc2002-saas-fee.htm. The pics are great, wish we could say the same for the video, but what the hell, check them out anyway...it's pretty wild.

Detroit Neurosurgeon Aria Sabit Arrested for Alleged Insurance Fraud
Criminal Complaint Alleges Sabit Billed for Spine Surgeries He Didn't Actually Perform or Were Medically Unnecessary
A Detroit-area neurosurgeon was arrested Monday for allegedly defrauding federal and private health-insurance programs by billing for spine surgeries that he either didn't perform or that were medically unnecessary, according to a criminal complaint unsealed in federal court.
The surgeon, Aria Sabit, was sued by the Justice Department in civil court in September over similar allegations. Dr. Sabit was the subject of a 2013 Page One article in The Wall Street Journal revealing that he profited from the implants he used in dozens of surgeries at a California hospital, some with tragic outcomes.
Dr. Sabit's lawyer, Mark Kriger, said his client will enter a not guilty plea. No plea has been entered yet.
Dr. Sabit, who relocated from California to Michigan in early 2011, allegedly misled four different Michigan patients into thinking that he fused their spinal vertebrae when he actually performed no such procedure, according to the new criminal complaint.
Between the beginning of 2011 and June 2014, Dr. Sabit billed Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan a total of $32.8 million, the complaint alleges. Of the $1.8 million he collected from them, $1.2 million was paid out by Medicare and Medicaid.
Dr. Sabit was ordered held without bond until a Dec. 1 hearing and could face 10 or more years in prison if convicted.
Dr. Sabit was born in Afghanistan and obtained U.S. citizenship last year. The government's complaint alleges that he was "statutorily ineligible for naturalization" at the time because he knowingly committed health-care fraud and failed to disclose it.
Before moving to Michigan, Dr. Sabit operated at a hospital in Ventura, Calif., where he used spinal implants supplied by a company he had an ownership stake in. One California Medicare patient he operated on died from postoperative complications, according to the civil complaint the Justice Department filed in September. Dr. Sabit surrendered his California medical license last summer under a settlement with the state's medical board.
Federal prosecutors asked that Dr. Sabit be held in jail pending trial, citing an attempt he made in September to fly to Dubai via Atlanta. While interviewing Dr. Sabit at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport, customs officers found a plastic bag in his luggage containing a ruby and a 3.6-carat emerald, according to the complaint. Dr. Sabit told the agents that he was involved in the mining business in Afghanistan.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it's impossible to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. A pair of California-based economists probably recognized this following an attempt to construct an "early warning system" to predict another global financial crisis in the wake of the 2008 catastrophe.
In the National Bureau of Economic Research's forthcoming paper, "Cross-Country Causes and Consequences of the 2008 Crisis: Early Warning," co-authors Andrew Rose, a professor at the University of California's Berkeley's Haas School of Business, and Mark Spiegel of the Federal Reserve bank of San Francisco, surmised that few factors—out of 65 potential causes of a global economic meltdown—could have predicted such an outcome.
"If the causes of the crises differ across countries, there is little hope of finding a common statistical model to predict them," they wrote.
The authors say there are two keys essential to a good early warning system. The system must:
1. Predict what countries will be most affected (i.e. the cross-sectional component)
2. Predict when the crisis will occur, or the timing factor
By using a Multiple-Indicator Multiple-Cause model, Rose and Spiegel's study focuses on the countries most dramatically affected by the crisis, as well as those countries less affected in order to serve as control data.
The severity of the crisis in each country was measured by four variables:
1. The 2008 real gross domestic product (GDP) growth
2. The percentage change in a broad measure of the national stock market over 2008
3. The 2008 percentage change in the special drawing right (SDR) exchange rate
4. The change in a country's credit-worthiness rating from Institutional Investor, a business news and research publisher
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the SDR is an international reserve asset, created by the IMF in 1969, to supplement its member countries' official reserves. The SDR's value is based on a basket of four key international currencies, and they can be exchanged for freely usable currencies.
"Our research found that size, from an economic perspective, had no significant impact on the incidence of crises across countries, while income has a significantly negative impact," Rose says. "Richer counties experienced more severe crises."
Having taken the initial steps, the authors then compiled a list of characteristics that may have impacted a country's economic performance during the crisis. Collected using data from 2006 and earlier, the characteristics included financial policies and conditions, domestic macroeconomic policies, and appreciation in equity and real estate markets.
For example, in the United States, many fault-inflated real estate values and the sub prime credit market for causing the American economy's failure and subsequent recession. Rose and Spiegel found that while an economic collapse occurred in countries where the real estate bubble burst, other countries, including Germany and Japan, had an equally serious crisis despite the fact that both nations failed to see a significant decline in housing prices.
Rose also highlights that the bubble in real estate prices was mirrored by an increase in stock prices. Notably, equity appreciation emerged as the only variable that could robustly help predict crisis severity. The sample countries' geography and proximity to strong neighboring economies were also considered in the study, but did little to consistently predict a future meltdown.
The authors go on to note that their results suggest "measurable pre-existing conditions across countries had little common impact on the relative severity of these countries' crisis experience."
There are three possible reasons for the predictive failure, according to Rose:
1. The causes of the 2008 crisis may have differed across countries
2. The crisis might have been the result of a "truly global shock" unrelated to the characteristics considered in the study
3. The shock may be of a national origin that eventually spreads to other countries
"Politicians seek a magic instrument to prevent another serious economic crisis, but our findings show there is no mechanical easy way to predict major downturns in the future," Rose concludes.

NEMASKA, EEYOU ISTCHEE, QC, Feb. 17, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - The Cree Nation Government (CNG) announces the publication of CE QUE LA RIVIÈRE NOUS PROCURAIT: Archéologie et histoire du réservoir de l'Eastmain-1 (What the River Provided: Archaeology and History of the Eastmain 1 Reservoir), a major work on the history of Eeyou Istchee and of the Cree people.
In 2006 the Eastmain-1 hydroelectric project created a reservoir of 603 square kilometres in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory. From 2002 to 2005, archaeological research was undertaken by the Société d'énergie de la Baie James (SEBJ) and the Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Program (ACHP) in the areas that would be flooded. Funded by Niskamoon Corporation through the Nadoshtin Agreement (part of the Agreement Respecting a New Relationship Between the Cree Nation and the Government of Quebec) the ACHP allowed the Cree Nation to work with elders, historians and archaeologists to create an archive of the Cree heritage that would be affected by the Eastmain-1 project.
A number of educational products aimed at a Cree audience (films, a book, a commemorative monument and a travelling exhibition) have already been produced. Now, for the first time, a major scientific compilation of the archaeological, geographic and historical research is launched. Edited by Pierre Bibeau, David Denton and André Burroughs, CE QUE LA RIVIÈRE NOUS PROCURAIT contains 18 chapters (three in English and the remainder in French) by archaeologists, geographers and historians relating to the occupation of Eeyou Istchee over the last 5,000 years. The input and spirit of the Cree elders is present throughout the volume. Beyond archaeologists and members of Cree Nation, the book should appeal to those interested in First Nations' history and those grappling with issues of large-scale resource development and heritage preservation.
CE QUE LA RIVIÈRE NOUS PROCURAIT is jointly published by the Canadian Museum of History as part of its Mercury Series and the University of Ottawa Press. http://www.press.uottawa.ca/ce-que-la-rivière-nous-procurait.

Also interesting: The percentage of income that Americans spend on food has been in a long-term decline.""The average cost of this year's feast for 10 is $49.87, a 24-cent decrease from last year's average of $50.11," the Farm Bureau said Thursday. The traditional holiday dinner's cost was down less than 1 percent this year from 2015 and it marks only the third time in a decade that the annual survey shows an overall price decline.
A 16-pound turkey — the biggest single ticket item in the meal — averaged $22.74 this year, or 1.3 percent below 2015. The survey was conducted in 40 states with price checks on roughly a dozen items.
Last month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reduced its turkey price forecast for the current fourth quarter, saying "supplies of product are large." Overall, the retail food category has experienced flat or lower prices much of this year, according to government data.
"Consumers will pay less than $5 per person for a classic Thanksgiving dinner this year," John Newton, the Farm Bureau's director of market intelligence, said in a statement. "We have seen farm prices for many foods — including turkeys — fall from the higher levels of recent years."
The item with the biggest price decline in percentage terms this year is a 1-pound tray of carrots and celery, which the survey showed coming in at 73 cents, or 7.6 percent below last year. The meal item with the biggest percentage price increase this year was a dozen rolls, which averaged $2.46, or up 9.3 percent from 2015.
Elsewhere, the average price of pumpkin pie mix in the survey was down 2.2 percent from last year but the price of pie shells was up 4.8 percent in the same period. The Farm Bureau report said pumpkin prices fell slightly this year despite some production declines."
"Finally, the price of a 14-ounce bag of cubed stuffing was up 2.3 percent from a year ago. And a half pint of whipping cream was up by about 3 percent."

Ok. michael kors outlet store Personal was thinking something from Talbots, but whatevs.what must i know. I'm wearing Coldwater Creek at this time which might make Nina Garcia vomit at the sight of me. Another interesting option is to mix and match these textures from a solitary color. Whereas head to toe camel is a snooze, combining a sheer georgette blouse with a fur jacket, flannel slacks, and suede boots -- all in shades of camel - is much more exciting and alluring.
Lets say you have wanted a Michael Kors Astor Satchel and view it in stores for $298. You may be offered that same bag from specific discounted michael kors outlet site for $100. Would invest in the store bag and your one you found via the web?

Hillary Clinton wins, Trump loses huge in June. How polling can go wrong. How can Trump punish his non-supporters? Who would want to be the Trump VP? This guy is available—and born in NYC!
Things are more complex than Donald Trump makes them. For instance, steel. Black Lives Matter would like to get more details on Hillary Clinton's approach to civil rights.
David catches up on Donald Trump's schemes, scams, grifts, and other flim-flams. Trump promised millions to charity, and after about seven years he has donated about 10 grand. The Trump Institute offered its get-rich schemes with plagiarized lessons. Is the Trump Network a political Ponzi scheme? Clownstick said he was forgiving over $45 million in personal loans he made to his campaign, so quit bugging him for proof.
The Bob McDonnell Supreme Court ruling makes convicting politicians of corruption almost impossible, btw.

It's David Waldman Day on KITM! It's also Greg Dworkin Day and Joan McCarter Day! You just can't pack more interesting stuff into two hours, so be sure to warm up your link finger!
Greg Dworkin rounds up the news, views, pundits, and polls: Hillary Clinton keeps knocking "the steam" out of Donald Trump's campaign. Trump is countering by attacking Republican economic principles. Trump supporters don't like free trade, but really aren't that big of fans of black people or much of anything in between. Donald Trump's advisor and warm up act has been battling multiculturalism since high school. So, now is a good time for Barack Hussein Obama to hit the campaign trail.
Donald Trump, how does it feel to be losing so badly?
It is hard to find rational solutions for gun violence in the American press, good thing these people speak english. Harvard debunks the old standby of guns for personal defense.
Joan McCarter has a lot to talk about today: Paul Ryan tries poisoned partisanship on the Democrats. Senate Republicans toe the line and blockade Obama Judges. Look out, Sen. Richard Burr, Democrat Deborah Ross is nipping at your heels. Yay, "common sense" prevails in the Supreme Court's abortion decision.
David looks into a few trending #gunFAIL stories: A 6 year old boy was shot at the Grand

David Waldman, still euphoric from Icelandic victories and yogurt, brings us today's KITM.
Greg Dworkin brings us more on Brexit. Why the new nationalists are taking over. Will this help Donald Trump? No, it will further demonstrate the superiority of Hillary Clinton's ideas, as each day's polling shows. Maybe if Trump followers war whoop harder it might convince voters? What's wrong with a genetic purity test for political candidates? Experts determine Donald Trump is lying about money. At the moment Clownstick is winning in Texas by single digits. Trump's chances now rest on bears and meteors. Gop campaigns may have found the bus to throw Donald Trump under.
The Supreme Court makes its biggest decision on abortion in decades. Why did Justice Anthony Kennedy assist in this historic decision?
Armando Armandosplains the Supreme Court abortion access law decision in a three part, one hour conversation with David. Only on KITM will you find this sort of analysis of the history, philosophy, and politics around the decision, as well as a discussion of the institution vs. the individual in America. "Common sense" prevails in the Supreme Court decision. The remarkably unchanging American split on abortion.
On The Media presented a show devoted to bridging the gap over guns in America and how the media can better understand "both sides", which was comprehensive in every respect other than the omission of the wealth of data and perspective offered by this show, and David Waldman. Lucky you, as a fan of this show you have the key to understanding it all.

David Waldman returns to KITM today instead of performing jury duty. It's too hot this time of year anyway, with all of the jurors fanning themselves with their notes and fedoras, and the attorneys sweating through their seersucker suits and all.
Stay away from Baja too, at least if your realtor is Donald Trump.
Greg Dworkin reports that Donald Trump is having a hard time selling people on anything this month as Sanders backers head to Clinton. Bernie's supporters start to see themselves as Hillary supporters, and even the campaign chiefs are becoming buddies.
Evangelical Christians have faith in Baby Christian Clownstick. What will the conservatives that have a harder time lying to themselves do? Is it time to go Full Curly in Cleveland? Is it now time to pick between Trump and oblivion, or is that a package deal? Some rats refuse to even get on the ship.
Trump's policies would add $11.5 trillion to the debt. Ends up that Republicans see and treat blacks differently than whites…
Brexit shows that kids should vote more. Does Brexit mean it's time for a realpolitik parsing between liberalism and progressivism? The EU now decides if spanking the UK will hurt the EU more than the UK.
Bernie Sanders backers in Nebraska learn how to not step on their friend's toes.
If Mia Love skips Cleveland, that might make her VP nomination awkward.

The Democrats continue to be revolting, in a quite inspirational fashion. David Waldman believes nothing huge should be expected, but as increments go, these are a nice ones. Paul Ryan allowed no bills and got no breaks. The Gop won't give in, no matter how hard they lose.
Greg Dworkin calls in to discuss how parties matter, and how they are not the same. John Lewis' nonviolence training and tradition.
Donald Trump said some crazy, non-sensical, conspiracy theories and lies. If you didn't catch it, Clownstick'll be doing it again and again for the next few months because he will not be pivoting anywhere. Trump runs his campaign like a real estate deal.
Obamacare is working, but both sides see an advantage in trashing it.
Hey, remember when the Republicans fought for your freedom to get $3.50 per gallon gas? One way this differs from today's fight for gun safety is new social media technology. C-SPAN circumvents the House blackout on sit-in coverage.
Want a revolution? Here is a little election with big lessons to teach.
Patrick Murphy, not this one, but this one, is raising red flags, which may lead to a Marco Rubio return, even.

David Waldman announced that KITM was back to its regular, normal, ready-for-prime-time state, and as you'd expect, the live feed went away shortly after. Tap the player above for the full show!
Ivanka Trump promotes a new niche super-PAC for those that don't like her dad, but really don't like Hillary Clinton. Is she on Trump payroll? Dump Trump gets a second wind.
Greg Dworkin brings us the polls and the news:
Donald Trump finds that he needs to decide whether to be wacky for his wacko supporters, maybe do that pivot into that "presidential campaign", or to just go gull the rubes as he always has.
The super delegate debate rages on, for the next few years probably.
Marco Rubio runs back to Florida's rescue, in his own special way.
Joan McCarter also notes that little ghoul Rubio has decided to profit from the Orlando Slaughter.
Republicans run government not so much like a business by coming up with the same Obamacare replacement after 6 years.
Joan and David discuss the senate votes on gun measures. Susan Collins came up with a "terror gap compromise, at least the NRA waited for her announcement before telling senators not to vote for it. Mitch McConnell wants to protect your Second Amendment rights, to hell with the Fourth. Georgia Rep. John Lewis is leading a sit-in on the House floor today to push Republicans to address gun violence in the legislative chamber.
Today, Trump attempts to dig out of his deep hole with an attack on Clinton.
Guns attract crime to Atlanta Public Schools.

Greg Dworkin joins us to discuss it, along with other headlines, including the latest on the pope's encyclical and how the named plaintiff in King v. Burwell has found himself some nice, socialist health insurance. Carly Fiorina's SuperPAC had to change it's name because duh, you're not supposed to have a SuperPAC. Boehner boots whips who voted against the trade rule. A pithy gun cartoon from Rebecca Hendin. Still more nuttiness from the Texas gold bugs.

|Our Laser Nation_
Vaporize rogue hair with today's Groupon from the future: three laser hair-removal treatment sessions for $185 at Alite Laser Hair Removal, up to a $600 value, depending on the treatments you choose.
Laser light is a quick, painless, and effective method of removing unwanted hair. A long-pulse, high-energy laser emits a gentle beam of light that harmlessly passes through the skin and directly targets follicles, effectively treating unwanted hair. Unlike the lasers utilized by popular film hero and 2010 California gubernatorial hopeful Iron Man, these friendly beams are easy, comfortable, and treat hair follicles faster than other methods. Alite offers two forms of laser hair removal, designed for lighter and darker skin types.
Women can choose one of the following treatments (price is the normal price per session, upgrade to Brazilian for $20 more, or upgrade to half leg for $100 more at the time of each treament):
- Under arm ($150 value)
- Bikini ($200 value)
- Abdomen line ($100 value)
- Face ($200 value)
Men may choose one of the following (Or upgrade to half leg or full back —including shoulders, neck, and upper arms—for additional $100 at the time of each treatment):
- Nape of neck ($150 value)
- Chest ($250 value)
- Front of neck ($100 value)
- Shoulders ($200 value)
- Lower back ($150 value)
- Stomach ($250 value)
Your three treatments will send you well on your way to hairless harmony, but results can vary depending on skin and hair type. The friendly staff at Alite will be happy to consult with you on how many treatments it will take to achieve the results you are looking for.
Alite is Austin's favorite place to get un-hairy: it won Best of Austin Laser Hair Removal in the Austin Chronicle. Citysearchers give Alite five flawless stars: > * I was very nervous the first time I went in for laser hair removal. But I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome! I now LOVE it! – aus10sntx > * The staff is great and very knowledgeable and helpful. I'm so glad to have found them. Razors are now a thing of the past! – beeme
The Fine Print
Promotional value expires Oct 1, 2010. Amount paid never expires. 1 per person. May purchase multiple as gifts. Appointment only. Current clients may apply offer to previously untreated areas. Additional cost for upgrades ($20 Brazilian, $100 Full Back or ½ Legs). Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services.
About Alite Laser
Alite Laser's three locations act as upscale sanctuaries where clients can go to lose spider veins and unwanted fat, but their specialty is hair removal. A trio of hair-removal procedures—waxing, laser removal, and electrolysis—fight follicles more effectively than scaring hair away like it's a case of the hiccups. When they aren't performing laser hair-removal procedures, technicians harness the power of light to brighten skin during facials.

A longer version of this story for Search Engine Watch members explains more about how the cloaking works.
Stefanie Olsen had a great News.com article out yesterday talking about how National Public Radio is turning its audio content into textual transcripts in an effort to gain better visibility with search engines.
Unfortunately, the same technique appears to be putting NPR in the position of cloaking content, something that got WhenU thrown out of indexes at Google and Yahoo earlier this month with much publicity.
Google has long warned against cloaking, showing its spider content that a regular user can't see. NPR's method of showing transcripts does exactly this, as the longer version of this article for Search Engine Watch members explains in more depth.
I'm waiting for comment from Google about this and will update when that comes. The company confirmed a relationship with NPR in the News.com story, so they are likely aware of the cloaking that is happening.
As a searcher, I'm actually glad the method is being used. It does mean I'm more likely to find audio content of interest. Moreover, I can listen to that for free via the NPR site.
As a search engine marketer, I'm not so thrilled. I'm well aware that many other companies would like the ability to feed Google content in this manner. In addition, they have just as compelling arguments as NPR about having good content that isn't adequately indexed by the Google crawler. Unfortunately, they're denied the privilege of feeding relevant material just to Google's crawler.
What about Yahoo? Anyone can enjoy the same benefits that NPR has, the ability to cloak content when relevant, through Yahoo's content acquisition program. Non-profit organizations are offered this for free. Commercial organizations have to pay, making use of Yahoo's trusted feed program.
For more background on cloaking, and especially how paid inclusion programs have allowed it, see my article from last year, Ending The Debate Over Cloaking. For more on multimedia searching, including the challenges it poses to search engines, see our Multimedia Search Engines page.
