Thomas Carr is entering his first season with the ETSU men's basketball program, having joined the Buccaneers as an assistant coach in June of 2013.
Prior to coming to Johnson City, Carr was a standout guard at Pfeiffer University and earned his sports management degree in 2008. He later coached as an assistant at Chipola College (2009-10) and Hargrave Military Academy (2010-11), before spending the 2012-13 season as head coach at George Washington High School in Danville, Va.
Known for his skills in player development as well as his recruiting ties, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow said Carr is a rising star in the college coaching ranks.
"Thomas has great people skills and is a really good communicator," Bartow said. "His players love him, and I was really impressed when I watched his teams play and saw his interaction with his players. He is extremely well connected from a recruiting standpoint, and we believe he can certainly make our program better."
Carr said he believes his coaching philosophy can help the Bucs.
"Everything I believe in based on pushing guys to play as hard as they can for as long as they can," Carr said. "If guys commit to playing hard, playing smart, and playing together, the scoreboard will take care of itself."
Following his graduation from St. John's Jesuit High School in Toledo, Ohio, in 2003, Carr went on to play a year of prep basketball at Hargrave Military Academy. While there, his team was the top ranked prep squad in the nation, finishing the season as the 2003-04 Prep School National Champions.
Teaming up with Canarsie Blue Devil founder Clyde Chapman, Carr went on to play collegiately at Pfeiffer University, serving as a captain his senior year and finishing second in the nation for 3-point field goals made.
Carr went on to begin his coaching career at Chipola, working for current Samford assistant coach Jake Hendrick, where he served as the program's recruiting coordinator, academic advisor, and strength/conditioning coach. After a year at Chipola, he returned to Hargrave and held many of the same coaching responsibilities.
While at Hargrave, he worked for current Louisville assistant coach Kevin Keatts, helping eight players sign Division I scholarships, with current North Carolina Tar Heel P.J. Hairston being named to the McDonald's All-American Team. The team finished the season as the No. 1 ranked prep school in the country.
After a successful stint at Hargrave, Carr moved on to his first head coaching job at George Washington High School and led his team to a 25-3 overall record, winning multiple championships throughout the year. The team finished ranked No. 15 in the state, led the state of Virginia in points per game (88 ppg), and Carr was named the Western Valley District Coach of the Year for the 2012-13 season.
Carr is a Toledo, Ohio native that credits his parents, Bill and Renuka Carr and Maureen and Tim Martindale, as well as former coaches Ed Heintschel, Kevin Keatts and Dave Davis, for helping him get to where he is today.

Awkward moments
I had myself a classic awkward moment the other day… the one where somebody is looking in your direction, smiles and waves, but you realize only AFTER you've waved back that they are gesturing to someone directly behind you.
It seems there is no shortage of awkward moments. They are not rare, they are not endangered and they have no shelf life. They are just as potent the 50th time as they were the first time.
But the key to surviving an awkward moment is to be suave and approach it with candor. Own it. Cowboy up and accept that you just made an idiot of yourself, and you will be all the more respected for it.
This is sometimes easier said than done, because there are varying degrees of awkwardness. Low on the scale are the moments such as those I mentioned above, where you mistakenly think you are being engaged in conversation by some random person you've never met.
Examples that fall in the middle of the scale would include running into a wall, bumping your head on something, or dropping a sack of groceries in a crowded supermarket. You earn extra points if it's the sack holding your eggs.
Other middle-scale events include — and I'm very guilty of this one — encountering people you've met before and not remembering their names.
"Hey… man… how have you been?" is a typical greeting in those situations.
Finally, those moments that are high on the scale — the real gold-medal contenders — can include the following…
• Tripping and falling (with or without the tearing of some article of clothing);
• Spilling soda pop on the new white carpet that is in the house wherein you are a guest of the housewarming party; and
• Snoring in church.
These moments are very hard to escape with your dignity intact, but it can be done. Plus you can always follow the church snore with the quick cough-clear throat-cough routine in the hopes that everyone will buy that your gurgled head-bobbing eruption was all part of it.
They don't, but you can always hope.

Kristallnacht remembrance tonight at Keene State College
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
KEENE - Tonight's annual remembrance of Kristallnacht at Keene State College includes an eye-witness account of the two nights that took place in Germany 74 years ago.
The Cohen Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Keene State College and the Colonial Theatre are hosting Keene's annual Kristallnacht Remembrance tonight in the Colonial Theatre at 7 p.m.
Admission is free and the public is welcome. Event co-chairman Tom White, of the Cohen Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, said the center has been creating the community event in Keene for the past 15 years and typically draws 400 to 600 people.
The hour-long remembrance recalls Kristallnacht, a Nazi attack of Germany's Jewish population that took place Nov. 9 and 10 in 1938. Named Kristallnacht, or crystal night, for the enormous number of shop windows broken that night, the event was a series of coordinated attacks on the Jewish community in Germany in which the German authorities looked on without intervening.
Berlin, Germany, -born Stephan Lewy of Manchester, who as a child when he witnessed Kristallnacht, plans to attend and tell his story.
"He is an eyewitness to Kristallnacht. He was almost killed that night," White said.
Lewy escaped to the United States as a teenager and was later recruited by the U.S. Army. He was one of the Ritchie Boys, White said, a group of predominantly Jewish, German-speaking immigrants brought together to create a U.S. special military intelligence unit in World War II. At the end of the war, Lewy was deployed to Europe to help the Army emancipate concentration camps.
Also attending tonight is Fred Teeboom of Nashua. Teeboom was a "hidden child" in Holland during the Nazi persecution. Teeboom is participating in the candle lighting for remembrance, White said.
The annual event also has another component, White said. Alongside the remembrance, the community is actively engaging in creating a present and future free of hate and intolerance."We remember this as a human tragedy," White said. "The Jews are the targets for this, but the implications in a democracy are for us all to consider."
City officials
Keene Mayor Kendall W. Lane, police Chief Kenneth Meola and fire Chief Gary Lamoureux are attending to read their civic mission statements. "They pledge service to us and our community, to protect us," White said, the audience also participates with its own written pledge, "We say together, 'we remember.' .The entire audience says, 'We are responsible for each other."
Keene Middle School students are singing at the event and MoCo Arts dancers also plan to perform. They are joined by a guest cantor Sarra Stierer of Acton, Mass., who is originally from Manchester. Gunda Trepp, wife of Rabbi Leo Trepp, who was the last surviving rabbi who led a congregation in Nazi Germany during the early days of the Holocaust, plans to attend to honor her husband's legacy.
"His widow has flown from California to be with us," White said. "She will speak in the last section, which is 'how we make a difference, what do we do with this memory, how do we act on it today?'"
Katrina Swett, whose late father Tom Lantos was the only Holocaust survivor who served as a U.S. congressman, is also attending, White said.

(Editor's note: "Ask the Experts" will resume weekly publication in the fall. Until then, please enjoy this edition originally posted this past spring.)
LEWISBURG, Pa. — Welcome again to "Ask the Experts," a regular web feature that highlights the expertise of various Bucknellians in a range of topics related to current news events and other timely subjects. || Ask the Experts archive
This week, we asked Katelyn Allers, assistant professor of physics and astronomy, about the best viewing in the summer night sky and brown dwarfs — space objects that are neither stars nor planets but help us better understand both.
Q: With the summer coming up, what kinds of things should amateur astronomers be looking for in the night sky? Where and when is the best place to view the summer sky?
A: To get into astronomy, you don't need a telescope. There's a lot that you can see and have a great time exploring the night sky with just a pair of good binoculars. Just find a dark place and either lie down or use a tripod to keep your binoculars steady.
If you've never looked at the moon through a pair of binoculars, it's breathtaking. You can see maria (large, low-lying dark areas) and craters, most of which were created almost 4 billion years ago.
Planets are also wonderful to look at with binoculars. Saturn is currently visible, as are Venus and Mars in the west around sunset. With Venus you can see its phase with binoculars (similar to the phases of moon). Galileo observed the phases of Venus, and it provided early evidence that the sun, and not the earth, was at the center of our solar system.
There are some other interesting things to look at during the summer. The Andromeda galaxy is a great place to look if you're somewhere with dark skies. There are some globular clusters, M22 and M13, which you can easily see with binoculars. Double stars are also great for amateur observers. One of my favorites is Alberio, which we have dubbed the Bucknell star because one of the stars is orange and the other is blue.
If you want to start exploring the night sky, the first thing you should get is a star chart. They're inexpensive, or you can find them online (check out skyandtelescope.com) and print them out. Identifying constellations can be a fun activity, and the star chart also provides a road map for finding and exploring many astronomical objects.
Even if you don't have access to a telescope or binoculars, there are wonderful things to observe with the "naked" eye. The Perseid meteor shower in August is fantastic. The rate of meteors peaks Aug. 12 with almost 80 meteors per hour. The best time to go out and observe a meteor shower is after midnight and before sunrise. Meteor showers occur when the earth's orbit crosses the debris field left behind by a comet. In the case of the Perseid meteor shower, you're seeing ancient debris from comet Swift-Tuttle burn up in our atmosphere.
Q: Your research deals mainly with brown dwarfs, objects bigger than a planet but smaller than a star. What does this research mean to the average person?
A: A brown dwarf is less than about 72 times the mass of Jupiter so, like Jupiter, it doesn't have enough mass to sustain hydrogen fusion. Yet, a brown dwarf doesn't have a parent star, so it hasn't formed in the disk of a star like the planets in our solar system did. This is precisely the reason we want to study them; they're in a mass and temperature range that bridges the gap between stars and planets.
The lowest-mass brown dwarfs are very good analogues for extra-solar planets. In 2008, astronomers directly imaged extrasolar planets, meaning that we actually saw the light coming from the planet itself - not the doppler wobble of its host star, nor a light dip as it goes in front of the star. Ideally, we'd like to get spectroscopy of these planets to infer their masses, temperatures and compositions. Here we run into a problem because trying to get spectroscopy of these planets when you have a whopping bright host star nearby is really difficult.
This is where brown dwarfs save the day, as they provide an observational template for what we expect these planets to look like, so we can infer the properties of the planet based on what we know about brown dwarfs.
For stars, many questions remain about the way that they form. We know that you have gas and dust out in space. That gas and dust forms giant molecular clouds, which eventually form clumps with enough mass and gravity that they're able to overcome gas pressure, collapse and form a star.
One way to test the fine details of the model for star formation is looking at the extreme ends. Looking at brown dwarfs which have very low mass and seeing how efficiently they're formed tells you about the process of star formation itself.
We're looking at things that have very low masses; how they managed to overcome gas pressure with these small masses and even become brown dwarfs is a compelling question.
Q: Your research has taken place in observatories in Chile and Hawai'i. How does being in Pennsylvania affect your research? Are there things you can see here that you can't see there, and vice-versa?
A: The telescopes we have here at Bucknell are fantastic, but brown dwarfs are intrinsically very faint objects, so they require observations with large diameter telescopes. In addition, many of the objects I study have southern declinations, and simply aren't visible at our northern latitude.
Being in Pennsylvania, however, hasn't affected my research at all. A lot of telescopes allow you to observe remotely (through computers). I've observed on telescopes in Hawai'i multiple times over this past school year. You're on the phone with an operator in Hawai'i and you can run the instrument and obtain your data without having to physically be at the observatory. Though a trip to Hawai'i in the dead of winter might have been nice!
Q: You've talked of taking students to large observatories in Hawaii and Chile. What would you hope they would gain from such a trip?
A: I just got back from a trip to Chile, with Abby Peltier, a Bucknell physics junior. We got some great data to look for brown dwarfs in the Ophiuchus region.
We were observing on a four-meter class telescope in the Andes Mountains. The stars that are visible change over the course of a year, so April was a good time for observing Ophiuchus, the region we were targeting.
The experience was a good one for Abby; just learning how to plan observations and take data is a great thing for students to learn. There's a wow factor, too, when you're observing on a large telescope in such a beautiful location.
For professional astronomers, being awarded time on large telescopes requires a successful peer-reviewed proposal. It's nice to have a merit-based check that lets you know your proposal is sound - that it's worth spending telescope and personal resources to pursue.
New editions of "Ask the Experts" will appear on the Bucknell website on most Thursdays during the fall and spring semesters and on occasion throughout the summer. If you have ideas for future questions or are a faculty or staff member who would like to participate, please contact Sam Alcorn.

Here in the online HIV/AIDS community, it's hard to remember a time when Rae Lewis-Thornton wasn't the social media maven she is today. But believe it or not, she was resistant to blogging and tweeting at first. Now she has thousands of loyal followers and readers, and considers social media work to be an essential part of her activism. "I've taken this social thing, and made it for a socially conscious cause," she says; "And it has reinvented me." Watch the other videos in this series.
Talk to me about how you use social media as an extension of your activism.
You know, I went to social media kicking and screaming. My 30-year-old BFF was, like, "You're getting on Facebook; you're getting on Twitter -- whether you want to or not." And I did it. And in a year and a half I have done really good stuff.
You know, I didn't think I could write. And that's stupid, given the fact that I graduated from college magna cum laude, given the fact that I went to graduate school, on a merit scholarship, given the fact that . . . yeah; I mean, it's all this work. But when I lost my book deal at Hyperion the editor said that it was incredibly poorly written, my memoir. And so I didn't believe that I could write.
I started writing. I started to tell my story. People would make these incredible comments. And I'm, like, "Can I write, for real?" Someone sent me an email this week that said, "I don't care if you wrote your memoir on toilet paper. I will buy it."
On Twitter, it's a day in the life of a diva living with AIDS. And so they get the early morning until I go to bed; and they get everything. The blogging: I try to give them bits and pieces of my life, what I'm doing. Or if I'm going to this event, I'll try to give them some of that. I try to give them my spiritual side on Mondays, with the Monday Reflections. And in between, I give them everything else, from sex to love.
It's been good. I get an enormous amount of e-mails. I get about 25,000 visits a month on my blog. I have 5,000 followers on Twitter; I have 9,500 friends on Facebook, with my two combined. And my social media clout is rising and rising and rising. And I'm doing these HIV tweet-ups. I've taken this social thing, and made it for a socially conscious cause. And it has reinvented me. It has introduced me to young people who had no idea who I was. It has reminded people who knew who I was, who thought I was dead and gone -- because I get those tweets: "I thought you was dead!" It has reinvented me, which, of course, then opens the avenue for more press, for more speaking engagements, possibly sponsorship. But the most important thing is the impact that you have. And so I get the DMs [direct messages] from the girls who say, "I made my boyfriend use a condom last night. You know, thank you." Or, "I went to get tested. Thank you." "You make me do better."
And it's not just about HIV. There are people who say to me, "You make me want to be better, to do better. If you can wake up every morning, no matter what it is, and be grateful for a day of life . . . I don't have AIDS; I can be grateful."
It's a phenomenal tool. And I think some of my peers, some of my friends, especially, didn't get it. I have a girlfriend whose husband will say, "Will you stop tweeting?"
I'm like, "You're a dentist. You go to work every day. No, I won't stop tweeting, because this is my work."
I'm one of the most name-recognizable black women in America with AIDS, and last year I didn't have a speaking engagement on World AIDS Day. You know what I did? I tweeted 1,500 tweets about HIV. Yeah, I was in Twitter jail, like, six, seven times. But I tweeted. So that was my speaking engagement.
So for me, I didn't quit doing the work, because the work was more important. And that's how I feel. I'm sticking by this. Paula Deen said a while back on Oprah's Life Class: "I did the work, and God blessed it."
That's what I think about my work in social media -- that God will bless the work if I just keep doing it. If it's not about being on TV; if it's not about the speaking engagements and the money I get, but it's about educating, it's about giving people hope, it will be blessed.

Design variants
Heated pump H1 and/or H2
The pumps are outfitted with a heat jacket and pump casing (H1) and/or a heat jacket in the bearing lantern (H2). Both heat jackets can be realized either separately or in conjunction with a bypass line. The heat jackets in the standard construction are rated for operating pressure of 16 bar at 200 °C (steam) or 6 bar at 350 °C. The heat jackets can also be used for cooling.
Internal filter F
When solids-containing liquids are being transported, the internal filter prevents inadmissibly large particles from entering the flow channels, and from there the magnetic coupling and internal bearings.
External feed and flushing connections E1 and E2
These external connections allow for external flushing, feeding and/or venting. Connection E1 is used in situations where a continuous feed into the magnet drive is desired. Connection E2 is used suitable for short-term flushing, or for external venting of the magnetic coupling.
Double isolation shell D
The double isolation shell should be used in situations requiring a high level of safety. The unit consists of two interlocking isolation shells, both of which are rated for the relevant operating conditions. If one of the two units is damaged, the casing still remains leaktight. The gap between the two units can be monitored.
Inducer J
Inducers are often used in cases where the installation's NPSH values are extremely low. Inducers substantially reduce pump NPSH throughout the installation without altering pump characteristics. Inducer J can be retrofitted on existing pumps, in most cases with only a minimum amount of pump modification.

Development of pesticide spray drift regulations continues to be a challenge for the Environmental Protection Agency, says Stephen Johnson, assistant administrator for the agency's Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic Substances.
"We hope you'll help us figure it out," he told members of CropLife America and the California Plant Health Association at their joint annual meetings at Palm Desert, Calif. "How do you assess spray drift? We've been grappling with that issue and the engineering issues associated with it. When it came time to determine what to put on a label, the suggestions were all over the place."
Some, Johnson said, contended there should be no spray drift, period — that "if one nanogram of pesticide drifts one millimeter from its intended target, that's a violation of the label." Then, there were the "technocrats, who came up with technically accurate labeling, but unfortunately everyone said, 'We can't live with this.'"
The goal, he said, is to develop a label that can give "advice and counsel to product managers so we can achieve consistency, and have labels that are clear and regulations that are enforceable."
"A lot of people are working on it, including the states and various commodity organizations. What we'd hope is that state officials will recommend language that meets these goals, but thus far that hasn't been achieved."
As labels come under review for final changes under Food Quality Protection Act assessments, "the language by the technocrats is causing concern," Johnson said, "and we need to be able to address this issue.

I just posted on Brian Dawkins' departure so be sure to check out that entry, which includes a YouTube highlight video of No. 20.
But this statement from the Eagles just popped in my inbox. Here are statements from Jeffrey Lurie and Andy Reid on Dawkins' departure.
From Lurie:
"Brian Dawkins has been one of the pillars of this franchise for 13 years. He helped lead us to five NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl. Brian embodies everything you look for in a professional athlete and human being. I have been fortunate to witness his impeccable character, his passion for the game of football and his commitment to being the best player he could be. I look forward to continuing a close relationship with him once his playing days are over. His legacy as an Eagle will last forever and will ultimately land him in Canton as a Hall of Famer."
From Reid:
"Brian is one of the best players in franchise history and one of the most popular players to ever play in the city of Philadelphia. The Eagles organization, as well as the entire fan base, will miss him not only as a player but as a tremendous person. This is the toughest part of my job, no question. He gave this city 13 years of emotional, energetic football. We wish Brian and his family nothing but the best as he continues his career in Denver."
As difficult as it might be, please try to refrain from using obscenities with your comments.

PITTSBURGH – A man nicknamed the Bucket List Bandit by the FBI because he allegedly told a Utah bank teller he had only months to live during a July heist has been returned to Pennsylvania and indicted on the last of 10 bank robberies he's suspected of committing.
A federal grand jury has indicted 54-year-old Michael Eugene Brewster for the Sept. 10 robbery of the Huntingdon National Bank branch in Erie.
Brewster faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. He's being held in jail Wednesday until his detention hearing before a federal magistrate in Erie on Thursday.
The FBI says Brewster is suspected of nine more robberies in eight other states since June 21. The U.S. Justice Department couldn't immediately say whether or when he'll be charged with those heists.

David Gray Anderson died Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2012, at the Klickitat Valley Hospital in Goldendale, Wash. Dave was born in Alberta, Canada, on Nov. 24, 1951.
He spent his teen-age years in the Hood River area, where he grew up on a ranch on Fir Mountain and went to high school in Hood River. After high school Dave joined the Marine Corps, where he was honorably discharged.
All his life Dave loved cars, trucks and railroads, so it made sense that he became a long haul truck driver and an avid model railroader.
Dave also loved the outdoors and enjoyed fishing and hunting when he got the chance. He also loved animals, especially small dogs, who were his constant companion on the road.
Dave was preceded in death by his mother, Carol, his father, Richard, and his brothers Douglas and Daniel.
His younger brothers, Donald and Dennis, survive him.
A memorial service will be held for Dave at the United Methodist Church in Goldendale, Wash., on Saturday, March 3, at 11 a.m.
It was Dave's wish that all should know the dangers of smoking, as it was lung cancer that prematurely took his life.

As with many of its 70's horror franchise contemporaries, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has become a series whose present continues to lose connection with its past, even as new entries stumble over themselves to pay homage to their roots. In 1974, Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel captured lightning in a bottle with a chaotic, nasty film about a family of cannibals living deep in the heart of Texas.
Charlie Hunnam, who you might know from "Sons of Anarchy" AKA the only show still keeping me a man, has signed on to Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim". The movie will be set in a future where giant monsters threaten to destroy the earth. Hunnam will most likely play some dreamy hunk who saves the day and I will most likely have to turn to my wife every time he's on screen and ask her what the hell she's looking at.
Speaking of men my wife would leave me for, Colin Hanks had signed on to the cast of season 6 of "Dexter". No word on what sort of role Hanks will play in the upcoming season that airs in October but if I'm a betting man I'd say he'll be the ying to Dexter's yang. No I don't understand what that means either.
Absolutely no one is excited about "Night of the Living Dead 3D: Re-Animation" but yet it's still being made and now there's trailers to prove it. Wait did you say you wanted to see Sarah Palin impersonations 3 years after they were relevant? No?! Well you're getting them anyway. God bless America.
The latest director's name to be tossed into the "Leatherface 3D" hat is John Luessenhop and from his IMDB page I can confirm he owns at least one awesome suit. The film will pick up directly where the original remake of the original (confused?) left off and then will jump ahead 35 years. That may or may not put them in the future. I'm awful with numbers.
Evan Spiliotopoulos, who you know as the writer of the sequel to 75% of the greatest Disney cartoons has been tapped direct "Ouija". McG has already been announced as the director of the flick based on the Hasbro board game that has allowed me to speak to George Burns from beyond the grave. Every night I force him to explain to me what it was like on the set of "Oh, God!". I think he's starting to get pretty sick of it.
If you picked up "Portal 2" yesterday then you probably already know this, but for those of you who have a day job and can't spend all night being called a "Noob" by some 11 year old Australian kid over XBox Live, it might be interesting to know that Mr. J.J. Abrams has included a pretty cool interactive trailer for "Super 8" in the extras section of the game. So maybe go pick up the game, huh? Or just Google the video... it's a lot cheaper.
John Luessenhop, who looks like a guy who would be described as "a quiet man" on a news report announcing he murdered his family and ate them, is in talks to possibly direct the upcoming "Leatherface 3D" hot pocket. The nugget is a sequel to the 2003 "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake. Did I mention the movie is going to be in 3D? And I talked about the creepy murderer director, right? Are you as excited as I am? Probably.
Leven Rambin has been cast in the upcoming flick "Hunger Games" in the role of Glimmer. Jennifer Lawrence will play District 12's Katniss Everdeen and the two will apparently battle to the death. This will apparently be the first film in a series that I have absolutely no idea about and if I'm being honest I haven't understood one thing I've talked about in this little blurb. I'm so confused.

Found some extracts from the Adison-Wesley book Know Your Enemy:
Revealing the security tools, tactics and motives of the blackhat community. This makes for some interesting reading .
OpenBSD - The proactively secure operating system.
I'll have to read that once I get home.... thanks for some good reading....
I'll have to put it on my Palm.....
I read three chapters and would like to read the rest. Do the other chapters exist in ebook form or do I have to bite the bullet and spend $50 on a book? Just to clarify things - I'm not opposed to paying for the book, I just want to be sure I can't LEGALLY get it free before spending the $50.
str34m3r, check your local library. If the don't have it, ask if you can put it on some sort of wish-list.
I wish to express my gratitude to the people of Italy. Thank you for inventing pizza.
Grumble, grumble, grumble.... That means I have to find the library.
Despite my grumbling, I know that finding the library is a good idea. It's just that I recently moved to the area and haven't bothered to find the local library, much less go through the full FBI background check that it seems to take recently just to get a library card. Perhaps next weekend I can take the time to get a library card. I certainly enjoy a good book, whether it's computer related or not.
I posted an article similar to this one. Click here. You can read the "Know your enemy" series at the honeyney project.
RA. I'm just curious, but what happened to the last underscore on your user ID?
This is a new ID.. I changed my password a week or so ago and I can't rember WTF it is. So now I'm gonna use this one. And yes I tried to use the passwerd recovery fourm but it didn't werk. Blah.
Yup yup. Tried that. Ah well.. it's all good. Any who, good post smirc. And remember folks *cough* str34m3r *cough*.. we have a neat feature on AO called "PMs".
Good stuff buddie... I really enjoyed it....

There's been some grumbling in the press about the amount of usable storage users actually get with the Microsoft Surface or any other Windows 8 or Windows RT tablet. Now there's a lawyer trying to sue Microsoft over the matter. The complaint: that roughly half of the 32 GBs of storage that comes with the $499 32-GB Surface tablet is already used up by the operating system and applications such as Microsoft Office 2013. The $499 16-GB iPad, by comparison, leaves most of its storage (14.3 GB) free for user files.
One way to look at it is that Windows tablets have excessive overhead in operating system and application storage usage. Another way to look at it is that Microsoft didn't have to bundle applications such as Microsoft Office 2013 -- and users will use up that storage anyway if they buy Office and other applications afterward.
Then there's the even larger point that Windows tablets don't gouge users on storage expansion like the iPad or Google Nexus tablets do. To add 16 GB or 48 GB of storage to an iPad, customers must choose up front to pay an additional $100 or $200. To add 16 GB of storage to the Google Nexus 10, customers must decide up front if they want to pay an extra $100. Once these tablets are purchased, there is no practical way to add storage.
Windows tablets like the Microsoft Surface also offer additional up-front storage for $100 per 32 GBs, but customers can decline and add their own flash storage later via microSD cards for very little money. A quick search online reveals that 64 GBs of microSD storage costs as little as $60 which is a fraction of the premium Apple charges for 64 GB in an iPad. The total available internal storage in a Windows tablet is also much greater than an iPad despite the additional storage used by the Windows OS and applications and at a much lower price.
Windows tablets also permit memory expansion via USB. It's possible to hack an iPad and Google Nexus tablet to expand storage externally, but external solutions ruin the form factor of a tablet and use up the one docking port the device has. It just isn't practical to have messy cables or dongles hanging off a tablet that adds bulk and clutter. MicroSD cards add no size and practically undetectable weight to the tablet.
This might lead one to wonder why even bother paying an additional $100 for the 64 GB option in Windows tablets, but it turns out that there might be justification for it. Although it is possible to install traditional Windows applications onto a microSD card, there is a performance penalty. This isn't too big of a problem for large media files because even the HD videos only require 1 megabyte per second (MB/sec).
Modern microSD cards typically support read and write speeds in excess of 10 megabytes per second. Based on my tests, internal flash storage on a Windows 8 tablet like the Samsung ATIV 500T supports 80 MB/sec read speeds and substantially faster random access performance. The faster random access performance comes in handy for Windows swap storage performance or database performance which comes in handy for Microsoft Outlook. Here are two Chrystal Disk Mark tests I ran on the Samsung tablet using internal flash storage and microSD storage.
Internal flash storage (Samsung ATIV 500T)
MicroSD flash storage (Samsung MB-MSAGA 16 GB)

If there's a scandal here it's not the overhead in Microsoft's tablets. It's Apple's greedy treatment of its customers by refusing to support microSD in its devices.

Tyler had gotten a call from the Reality Kings to go pick up a hottie they had waiting for him named Danira Love. All he was told was she was a sexy Latina that he couldn't miss. When Tyler pulled up, he sat waiting bored in the parking lot a few minutes. In his mind, he though Danira was a no show. That was until he just saw an incredible ass coming at him from across the parking lot in some tiny jean shorts. It was Danira, and Tyler was in Latina ass heaven. She did a little spin for us, and were like daaammmmnn!!! What a booty! In the car, Danira was a little freak and pulled out her titties for us to see. They some nice, sweet, Latina titties with some hot tanned nipples. Once they got to the house, Tyler was eager to see what Danira had waiting for him.
She shook that hot ass, and we got a peak at that pussy print. That inspired Tyler, and he went straight for it. After he sucked her pussy good, Danira returned the favor by taking his cock down her throat and giving him a marvelous blow job. Then she bent over and spread those legs to give Tyler a nice entry view. He got in that pussy and pounded it like it was the last time he would ever fuck again. He must've really been inspired by the Latina thickness. Tyler didn't let up on that pussy until the very end when he couldn't take it anymore, pulled out, and busted a huge load of cum on Danira's face.

Important Notice: These Albums are just what *I* like. Everyone has different preferences. But be aware a lot of what you like is determined by what you have exposed yourself to; so please only recommend Albums if you truly believe you know what you are talking about. That doesn't mean you have to be a music expert or audiophile to recommend an album. But try to keep in mind that what you recommend is a fair estimate of what you truly believe. Maybe throw in a few words to describe why you recommend them too (not that I've done that here... and I don't intend to... for obvious reasons: it's too much work...). And feel free to let others know if you agree on a good recommendation. There's nothing wrong with discussing the music either, although in that case, it may be best to post the recommendation BOTH here, AND start a separate thread to discuss the Musical Artist/Album/Song/Genre Examples etc... too.
Some Thoughts about my List, Listening, and AMVs:
- Yes, you'll notice it's a bit skewed towards Metal. But in a personal level, there's good reason for that: Metal is typically based around Melody, which IMO is the cornerstone of all music (and even AMVs to a certain extent). I mean, when you actually do a comparison, there are more similarities to masterful symphonic pieces through Metal than through most other forms of music . It just flows. It's easy to focus on. And easy to follow --just like an AMV should be-- So, for me it just seems natural to go in that direction, though you don't have to; but that's just the way I see it. And ofc, there's a lot of non-metal on that list too...
And no, I'm not saying this is music you should put on in the background while you pass the time on the computer (though sometimes that's okay). I mean, actually dedicate some time to lay down, close your eyes, with some headphones on, reasonably loud volume, and let the music take you for an hour, or however long the album is, undisturbed.
- For me, I tend to do this before I go to bed; and just forget. about. everything. else. in. the. world...
Now *this* is the type of stuff I wonder if people still do anymore.
I think too many people just try to get into the hobby, when they don't know enough about music to even come up with an opinion of what they like. So they just follow what everyone else is doing; and just listen to what's popular (not that popular music is always bad, no no... it's doesn't work that way...) Yet, I'm a firm believer that in AMVs as a hobby, Music is where it should all Start. And I'm not trying to chew anyone out here... but at the same time, that's what I believe. Because once you are comfortable with music, AMVs can basically be viewed as a visual extension of it. (And yes, there's more to it than that, but hopefully everyone can understand what I'm trying to say... I mean... your song generally dictates how your AMV is going to turn out... for the most part...)

Avon & Somerset Constabulary have issued an appeal after a not-for-profit organisation that refurbishes unwanted bikes and sells them on to new owners at an affordable price was targeted twice by arsonists in the space of ten days.
Ten bikes were irreparably damaged in the first attack on the Bunker Bike Workshop on Smeaton Road, close to Brunel Lock Road, reports the Bristol Post.
That fire, at the rear of the workshop, took place on 21 December. The second attack, on New Year's Eve, was more costly, destroying 40 men's, women's and children's bikes at the front of the site that were protected from the elements by tarpaulins.
Project manager Harvey Tadman told the Bristol Post: "It's sickening and very disappointing for all the volunteers who have given up their time and everyone who has donated bikes to us.
"We were gearing up for spring because cycling has become very popular. Bristol is a cycling city and we're getting more 20mph zones so people are going to need bikes.
"A few of the bikes destroyed still needed fixing, but most of them were ready to go to a new home."
Mr Tadman, who said he believed that the New Year's Eve fire took place at around 9.30pm, went on: "It looks as though whoever did this used petrol because the fire was so intense. I don't even need to spell out how dangerous that is."
Besides refurbishing bikes, the business, which is volunteer-based and was established in 2011, leasing its premises at a peppercorn rent from Bristol City Council, also provides repair services to cyclists including many from the Bower Ashton campus of the University of the West of England.
Mr Tadman said: "We basically act as a pit stop for a lot of people, repairing their punctures and broken chains. Also, we're open at quite unsociable hours in the summer so we provide a reassuring presence on what, at certain times, can be a quiet part of the cycle track.
"We have received so much support and so many donations since we started, but any help anyone wants to give would be greatly appreciated."
There's a brief review of Bunker Bike Workshop here.
The Bristol Post adds that if you have a bike that you would like to donate to the project, you can either visit the Smeaton Road site or contact Mr Tadman via the Create centre, on 0117 9250505.
A spokesman for Avon & Somerset Constabulary commented: "On New Year's Eve we received a report that a number of bikes chained outside the premises of the Bunker Bike Workshop had been set alight, as well as the guttering of the building.
"We are treating this incident as criminal damage and police enquiries are currently continuing into both fires. We would like to appeal for any witnesses."
Anyone who has information is asked to call Cabot Police Station on 101, or the charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

SOURCE: Cellceutix
February 04, 2013 07:00 ET
BEVERLY, MA--(Marketwire - Feb 4, 2013) - Cellceutix Corporation (OTCBB: CTIX) (the "Company"), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering small molecule drugs to treat unmet medical conditions, including drug-resistant cancers and autoimmune diseases, today announces that the Company is submitting an abstract for the upcoming 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology ("ASCO") Annual Meeting to be held in Chicago, Illinois on May 31 to June 4. The presentation is entitled: "A Phase 1 Dose-Escalation, Safety, Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic Study of Thioureidobutyronitrile (Kevetrin™), a Novel p53 Targeted Therapy in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors."
Key personnel, including investigators and physicians from the hospitals involved in the clinical trials of Kevetrin™, Cellceutix's flagship anti-cancer compound being hosted at Harvard's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, assisted in preparing the abstract.
The ASCO meeting gives Cellceutix an opportunity to provide a comprehensive update on the latest data from the Kevetrin clinical trials to shareholders and leaders in the scientific community as well as time for interaction with others about possible future collaborations and studies. Furthermore, it showcases Cellceutix's novel drug and accomplishments to many of the organizations that were first introduced to Kevetrin three years ago when it was recognized at the American Association for Cancer Research as a drug on the 'frontier' of cancer research.
Dr. Krishna Menon, Chief Scientific Officer at Cellceutix, commented, "We are still at the early stages of the clinical trial. To date, we have not observed any dose limiting toxicities. Initial pharmacokinetic (PK) data from the clinical trial has been received and is consistent with the animal data, which is a very optimistic sign moving forward. Additional information on these PK studies will be forthcoming at ASCO. We are now looking forward to receiving data from the p21 biomarker studies which is expected in March 2013."
About Kevetrin™
As a completely new class of chemistry in medicine, Kevetrin™ has significant potential to be a major breakthrough in the treatment of solid tumors. Mechanism of action studies showed Kevetrin's unique ability to affect both wild and mutant types of p53 (often referred to as the "Guardian Angel Gene" or the "Guardian Angel of the Human Genome") and that Kevetrin strongly induced apoptosis (cell death), characterized by activation of Caspase 3 and cleavage of PARP. Activation of p53 also induced apoptosis by inducing the expression of p53 target gene PUMA. p53 is an important tumor suppressor that acts to restrict proliferation by inducing cell cycle checkpoints, apoptosis, or cellular senescence.
In more than 50 percent of all human carcinomas, p53 is limited in its anti-tumor activities by mutations in the protein itself. Currently, there are greater than 10 million people with tumors that contain inactivated p53, while a similar number have tumors in which the p53 pathway is partially abrogated by inactivation of other signaling components. This has left cancer researchers with the grand challenge of searching for therapies that could restore the protein's protective function, which Kevetrin appears to be doing the majority of the time.
Further information on the clinical trial, titled "A Phase 1, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation, Safety, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Study of Kevetrin (Thioureidobutyronitrile) Administered Intravenously, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors," is available at: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01664000?term=cellceutix&rank=1
About Cellceutix
Headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts, Cellceutix is a publicly traded company under the symbol "CTIX". It is an emerging bio-pharmaceutical company focused on the development of its pipeline of compounds targeting areas of unmet medical need. Our flagship compound, Kevetrin™, is an anti-cancer drug which has demonstrated the ability in pre-clinical studies to regulate the p53 pathway and attack cancers which have proven resistant to today's cancer therapies (drug-resistant cancers). Cellceutix also owns the rights to seven other drug compounds, including KM-133, which is in development for psoriasis, and KM-391 for the treatment of the core symptoms of autism.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 27 (UPI) -- "Dancing with the Stars" professionals Julianne and Derek Hough are developing a drama about a ballroom dance competition in Blackpool, England, Starz said.
The brother-sister team will executive produce and serve as head choreographers for the series, which is set in the world of international competitive ballroom dancing and "will explore the dancer's obsession with perfection and the darker side of the glamorous world of ballroom dance," the cable television network said.
"The world of ballroom dance has captivated millions of people around the world and there are no more recognizable superstars in this arena than Julianne and Derek," Carmi Zlotnik, managing director of Starz, said in a statement Tuesday.
"Their experiences growing up in this highly competitive world are riveting and also shocking. There is much more to uncover than what we see on the dance floor."
"Derek and I are thrilled to be working with Starz. We feel that their passion and the style and quality of their programming provide the perfect environment to capture the true essence of this world that Derek and I know so well and means so much to us," Julianne Hough said.
"I cannot wait to give audiences a fictionalized view of the world that I experienced growing up," said Derek Hough. "Viewers are going to see a twisted, sexy, funny, dark and passionate side of the drama and politics in the world of ballroom dance that delves deeper than spray tans and sequins."
No casting or air date have been announced yet.
Derek Hough will appear on Season 16 of "Dancing with the Stars" as singer Kelli Pickler's partner.
Julianne Hough can now be seen on the big-screen in "Safe Haven."

Jack's third birthday party is this weekend, an event that should rank high on my List Of Things To Think About, but which has barely cracked the Top 25. Until tonight, anyway, when I realized I needed to make an airplane birthday cake, buy a present, figure out how to entertain a handful of toddlers and, oh right, pray desperately for sunshine. And I don't have time to do those things!
For someone who loves to have guests and throw parties as much as I do, children's birthday parties are surprisingly angsty occasions for me. I've thrown three thus far and each time I was saddled with the whole "Do we invite everyone we know? Or just family?" dilemma, not to mention the "what do I DO with five two-year-olds?" problem and the "I have to make a cake in the shape of WHAT?" panic attack. (Or maybe this just shows you that I can turn ANYTHING into an angsty occasion.)
This year the angst stems from the fact that I'm not particularly enjoying other kids' birthday parties lately. We've been invited to a few, and while I love the mothers who invite us and think their children are absolutely darling and am thrilled to be asked to celebrate, these parties are always so STRESSFUL. I am, after all, the Mom of Jack, who can be sensitive and intimidated in large groups, and Molly, who is Miss Clingypants. Birthday parties, full of treats and toys and fun turn into this sort of High Alert situation, a Playdate On Speed if you will, where I'm on the lookout for Sharing Crimes and hurt feelings, and needing to deal with them while shlepping around a 25-pound bag of whine.
In other words, the next birthday party to which my kids are invited better serve alcohol.
So I think I go a bit overboard when I'm thinking about OUR party. No insisting on everyone playing the same game! No set time! No structure! Just hanging out! Which is HILARIOUS since I am structure's biggest fan. But here I am drawing blanks when my mom asks me what the kids will do and when we'll open presents and where everyone will eat. Uh, around? Somewhere? Hmm, perhaps I should think about that.
Which is where I am right now, THINKING ABOUT IT. I have made a list (see: structure! is fabulous!) and determined what day we are shopping at Costco and where to buy the favors and when I'll have time to plant the petunias in my backyard, where I will hopefully have enough chairs for eating outside. Of course, I'm not sure why I'm bothering, since 90% Chance Of Rain is probably the only reliable factor in this entire party planning process.
But my kid deserves a kickstart to Three. He's going to get his airplane cake and heaps of attention and treats galore and I'm excited to have friends and family to our new house (although surely that's part of the stress, the fact that the new house hardly looks like a page out of a home decor catalog!) I WILL get my butt in gear and churn out an afternoon of streamered, sprinkled, pin-the-nose-on-the-airplane fun.
What about you? Can you get excited for the kiddie parties?

A while back, we covered the release of the free Cloudera distribution of Hadoop-- handy software to manage data across a multiplicity of servers-- the same software behind Yahoo!, Facebook, and other successful companies. Though Hadoop and Cloudera's Hadoop have been truly stellar at what they do, it's all essentially been done via command line, which for many people isn't the most productive or user-friendly type of interface. The folks at Cloudera knew this, so they've gone ahead and created a graphical interface to communicate with Hadoop.

This tune uses a sample of the original.....I don't know how some can claim otherwise.
Drums/bass/organ/guitar are sampled. After that they overdubbed guitar/keys/horns...maybe reinforce the kick / drums, etc...plus filtering, maybe tranfering to tape, etc....
All very tastefully done.
It sounds fantastic cause is a sample.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Interest rates on short-term Treasury bills fell in Monday's auction with rates on six-month bills dropping to the lowest level in four weeks.
The Treasury Department auctioned $32 billion in three-month bills at a discount rate of 0.105 percent, down from 0.125 percent last week. Another $28 billion in six-month bills was auctioned at a discount rate of 0.150 percent, down from 0.160 percent last week.
The three-month rate was the lowest since three-month bills averaged 0.100 percent two weeks ago on Oct. 22. The six-month rate was the lowest since these bills averaged 0.145 percent four weeks ago on Oct. 9.
The discount rates reflect that the bills sell for less than face value. For a $10,000 bill, the three-month price was $9,997.35 while a six-month bill sold for $9,992.42. That would equal an annualized rate of 0.106 percent for the three-month bills and 0.152 percent for the six-month bills.
Separately, the Federal Reserve said Monday that the average yield for one-year Treasury bills, a popular index for making changes in adjustable-rate mortgages, edged down to 0.18 percent last week from 0.19 percent the previous week.

The Japanese government has come down hard on the digital currency bitcoin.
The government today ruled that bitcoin does not fall under the category of currency as defined by the country's law and that the transactions involving it should be made 'taxable'.
Further it warned Japanese banks from opening accounts holding the virtual currency. Tokyo also clarified that banks are not allowed to broker bitcoin transactions.
According to the government, if bitcoins are used for money laundering, it would be classified under crime. The government is in an attempt to bring bitcoin transactions under the tax radar. The crypto currency is subject to taxation if it satisfies any clauses of income tax law, sales tax laws or any other prevailing laws in the country.
The government also warned users against owning and trading bitcoins. Citing the recent collapse of MtGox bitcoin exchange, the government also alerted users on chances of losing bitcoins through abuse of bitcoin system. The misunderstanding of how it works and the lack of regulations make it risky. Japan has now joined other countries in the world to caution the users about the potential financial and security related risks that they may be exposed to. It also warned that bitcoins could also be used for illegal activities, money laundering and for various unintentional violation of laws.
However, the Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga declined to comment on the time frame for implementation of the proposed regulations.
