Obama: 'Freedom of Religion Is Under Threat'
President Barack Obama said religious freedom is under threat, and highlighted the plight of two American Christians held in North Korea and Iran.
In his address to the National Prayer Breakfast, an annual gathering of lawmakers and numerous faith leaders, Mr. Obama said it's clear that "around the world freedom of religion is under threat." He said the U.S. works with countries that don't live up to America's standard of religious tolerance and pointed to China as an example. He said America's relationship with the Chinese is important to the world but said that he stresses in meetings with Chinese leaders the need to uphold universal rights for Christians, Tibetan Buddhists and others.

RSBS Presents: Chili
No, not that Chili. We're talking about the kind of chili you cook up for days on end, taking care to add the right ingredients at the right time and ideally avoiding anything too explosive. Come to think of it, it's kind of like the cooking that large swaths of the Midwest are doing right now even if the end result is probably a bit different.
To get back to the point, though, there's a reason why chili topped anything is the choice of single men everywhere during the long cold winter months. It's a delicious yet foul concoction that does damage at every point of the process of consumption. And if the sheer scatology of it all wasn't enough, nothing brings men and sports together in awe-inspiring and death defying ways quite like chili.
Chili comes in many wonderful styles and, as a service to our loyal readers on this Friday afternoon, we here at RSBS want to highlight some of the more delectable forms that chili can take, especially at the ballpark. So come with us on a cayenne and tabasco infused journey deep inside a supernova of flavor.
The Classic Bowl of Chili
You don't see a whole lot of this these days and it makes sense. If you're jumping out of a small seat in a narrow space to cheer, you don't really want to be dealing with a big ol' bowl of chili. But under more sedate circumstances, nothing warms you up during early or late season games quite like a healthy helping of spicy chili.
The Chili Dog
Like a bowl of chili, the chili dog is also a classic. It makes sense, too. A hot dog is pretty close to perfection so if you're going to do anything with it, you better make sure it's good. A healthy helping of chili on top? Yep, that's good. In fact, it probably would have been the end of the list except for one minor detail….
Chili Cheese Fries
There are a lot of things the Washington Nationals do wrong. But there is one thing they do very right. And that is letting Ben's Chili Bowl serve up its wares inside the confines of their ballpark. Nationals are losing again? Doesn't matter, I've got an order of chili cheese fries. Nationals misspelled their own names on their jerseys? Guess I should have another. However, there is still one step left to be taken to the pinnacle of chili evolution….
The Chili Cheese Half Smoke
As good as Ben's chili cheese fries may be, the half smoke smothered in cheese and topped with chili represents a dimension of chili spectacularity all it's own. Yes, that's right. I'm making up words just to describe its scrumptatiousness. I don't ask you to take my word for it. I just ask that you try it out for yourself if you're ever in the DC area and see if I'm on to something. You won't be disappointed.

Well known as an organist and harpsichordist, Douglas Hollick studied with Peter Hurford whilst organ scholar at Hull University, and subsequently with Marie-Claire Alain in Paris and Gustav Leonhardt in Amsterdam. He has played widely both here and abroad, including the 1991 Prague Early Music Festival, and in Melbourne, Sydney, and the 1992 Fremantle Bach Festival in Australia. Visits to the Czech Republic have continued, with teaching and concerts in Prague, Brno and Ostrava, a member of the jury of the 1996 Organ Competition in Opava, and two Czech Radio recordings, the latest in 2007. In 1999 he played in the Dolní Lukavice Haydn Festival in Bohemia. In visits to Germany he has played concerts on the Silbermann organs in Dresden and Pfaffroda, and in 2004 and 2005 on the restored 17th century organ of St Johannis, Hamburg-Neuengamme. Elsewhere in Europe have been organ recitals in Stuttgart, Roskilde Cathedral and Helsingør in Denmark, and Helsingborg in Sweden, where he played in the Buxtehude Festival of 2007. 2003 saw a return to Sydney in Australia, and four concerts. A recent highlight was a performance of Bach's Goldberg Variations in the 2008 St David's Festival in Wales to a large and appreciative audience in the Cathedral. Other concert venues have included Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral and St John's Smith Square in London, Winchester, Ely, Carlisle and Chester Cathedrals, Southwell Minster, Trinity, Clare, Wolfson, Girton and St Catharine's Colleges Cambridge, and in the Edinburgh, King's Lynn, and Finchcocks Festivals, together with Hull, Southampton, Nottingham, Warwick and Edinburgh Universities. He teaches both organ and harpsichord at Cambridge University and the Birmingham Conservatoire.
A wide repertoire includes major works like the Goldberg Variations and Clavierübung III of Bach, and also works by lesser known composers such as Kuhnau, Benda, Moyreau and Séjan. Programmes often have a particular theme (such as Fantasy, inebriation and madness), and mixed harpsichord and organ programmes can be particularly interesting. The musicality, authority and virtuosity of Douglas Hollick's playing ensure that his concerts are always stimulating and enjoyable. For harpsichord recitals and chamber music in the UK, he uses his own 1989 copy of the 1711 Pierre Donzelague instrument. Lecture recitals and educational work are also undertaken with this instrument - Douglas Hollick made early keyboard instruments for 15 years up to 1990 in parallel with his playing, so he is uniquely qualified in this respect. Masterclasses can be arranged to link with a particular concert programme, giving students a deeper insight into the music by being able to listen to performances as well as play themselves. Private consultation lessons can be arranged either in Cambridge or at home, where apart from the harpsichord, there is also a Klop two manual and pedal chamber organ, a copy of an early 17th century German clavichord, and two early English pianos, a square of 1811 by Clementi and a grand of 1809 by Broadwood.
Chamber music with various other artists is under the group name Chameleon, and ranges from duo and trio sonatas to larger groupings and chamber cantatas. A key player in this is the brilliant Czech baroque violinist Iva Fleischhansová, with works by composers such as Biber, Schmelzer, Rebel and Bach contributing to exciting duo programmes with harpsichord. A development from early 2004 is the availability of a chamber organ for concerts, and this together with the theorbo of Robert Foster opens up yet more of the 17th century violin repertoire. A new strand of repertoire is late 18th and early 19th century English songs, in which Douglas is joined by the Cambridge based Australian mezzo-soprano Lynette Alcantara. For this he uses either his 1811 Clementi square piano or 1809 Broadwood grand, both of which he restored himself. From 2011 a new duo partnership is the Dussek Duo with harpist Eleanor Turner playing a beautiful early 19th century Paris Erard double action harp which is a perfect foil to the early English pianos. Duos by C P E Bach, Mozart, Dussek, Naderman, and others are interspersed with piano and harp solos.
A year 2000 Churchill Fellowship enabled Douglas to pursue further research into the keyboard instruments from the period of Buxtehude and the young Bach, and to assess the performance implications of the acoustics in churches where Buxtehude worked as organist. His project took him to North Germany and Denmark for a month, visiting such places as Hamburg, Lübeck, Lüneburg, Copenhagen, Roskilde, Helsingør and Stralsund, visiting museum collections and historic organs. The results of the trip have been seen in Douglas' playing, teaching and writing, and in the 2002 recording called 'Buxtehude, master and pupil' made in Buxtehude's church in Helsingør. 2007 saw the release of another CD dedicated to this period and area of repertoire - a tercentenary tribute to Buxtehude called Music of the Baroque avant-garde which presents free works for harpsichord and organ and is accompanied by a substantial essay which can be found on the Riverrun website. This and Douglas' other Riverrun recordings and articles for various magazines form a part of the Birmingham Conservatoire submission to the 2007 Research Assessment Exercise as part of Birmingham City University, and his continuing research is being actively encouraged, resulting in a trip to Malmö in Sweden in 2008 to see the important mid-17th century organ in the museum there.
Recordings available from Riverrun Records: World Première recording of harpsichord and organ works of Christophe Moyreau (RVRCD 60). This is enigmatic and wonderful music of mid-18th century France, superbly performed on Douglas Hollick's own Donzelague harpsichord and the Metzler organ of Trinity College Cambridge (by kind permission of the Master and Fellows of Trinity College). Buxtehude, master and pupil (RVRCD 67) contains organ music by Buxtehude, his teachers Lorentz and Scheidemann, and his pupils Leyding and Bruhns. Recorded on the Marcussen reconstruction of Buxtehude's organ in the church of Sct Mariae, Helsingør, where Buxtehude was organist from 1660-1668, this recording illustrates many aspects of Douglas' research into performance practices of this period, and has attracted very good reviews. Following this on Riverrun is 'Revolution' (RVRCD 71) - Music from the period of the French Revolution, featuring organ, harpsichord and square piano. The latest recording is Buxtehude, a tercentenary tribute: music of the Baroque avant-garde (RVRCD 79) recorded on the organ of Trinity College Cambridge and a harpsichord by Douglas Hollick based on the 1638 Ruckers in the Russell Collection. The next CD has been recorded and will be released around Easter 2011 - 'Haydn and the London Connection' featuring the Dussek Duo with mezzo-soprano Lynette Alcantara.

Comments from the press have included:
A musician of substantial worth .....
Played with flair and conviction ..... this was a jewel in the University early music series.
Douglas Hollick possesses a vitality and spirit which brings a freshness to all his performances. His remarkable technical skills and imaginative ornamentation succeeded in restoring to the music that charm which lies beyond the mere notes.
The Prelude opened with a brilliantly executed and lengthy passage for the pedals ....... The clarity with which each subject entry was contrived together with the seeming ease with which rapid virtuoso manual and pedal sections were dispatched, added to the excitement of a masterly performance.
Extracts from recording reviews:
The Young Bach (Supraphon SU 3015-2 131) 'vivid, imaginative and exciting ..... the quality of this recording is superb''utterly delightful playing of a most intelligent programme'
Moyreau: Pièces de Clavecin 1753 (Riverrun Records RVRCD 60) 'His playing has an expressive spaciousness …… he is certainly up to all the technical challenges – on a par with those of Scarlatti and Rameau – that Moyreau presents.''Douglas Hollick weaves his way dexterously around this frequently challenging music ….. there are expressive, imaginative, even zany moments to enjoy.'
Buxtehude, master and pupil (Riverrun Records RVRCD 67) 'A sheer delight''A programme thoughtfully put together, sensitively played and offering a rewarding insight into the genius of this wonderful period of organ composition'
Revolution! Music from the period of the French Revolution (Riverrun Records RVRCD 71) 'The Balbastre Prélude (1777) is a fabulous example of expressive writing ….. the stops, starts, drama, and passion in the work were arresting ….. a very effective performance''This can certainly be recommended as an exposition of an area of music that would not usually be so accessible in one collection'
Buxtehude: a tercentenary tribute. Music of the Baroque avant-garde. (Riverrun Records RVRCD 79) 'It is both refreshing and informative to hear Buxtehude's music juxtaposed with that of his predecessors and contemporaries. Such 'contextualisation' is a trademark of Hollick's imaginative recordings. A most welcome release.''Hollick plays with a confident sense of freedom (and perhaps more life than Ton Koopman) while allowing the music to speak for itself '

Anybody has an idea on how to get 62hp out of a 1965 R60/2 short of replacing the whole motor?
Anybody has an idea on how to get 62hp out of a 1965 R60/2 short of replacing the whole motor?
purchase another R100 and re-badge it as an R60/2 is about your only (il)legitimate option.
even the newest offerings from Honda (NC700), Kawi (Versys) and Suzi (Wee-Strom) are only producing mid 60's hp. ain't gonna happen in a 50 year old design that was anemic for hp output even when new.
well, maybe you could, by going turbo, big heads, etc- but you're probably dumping enough $ into that to just go out and purchase 180+ hp from BMW in the S100RR package, and get all the handling upgrades that the R60 would still not have.
"why?" is my question to you.

Ride Safe, Ride Lots
It is an R60/2!
I can not answer the "why". It is not my bike. I was just curious about it because someone I know claims he has a 1965 R60/2 with 62hp and I think he is dreaming, because he also claims he is about to put two 4-piston Brembo brake calipers on the (drum brake) bike......
people claim lots of things.
does not make them true.
now you can start wondering what else he has lied to you about......
alternatively, maybe he'll let you take it for a ride. kind of a "put up or shut up" procedure.
curiously, 62 hp is what a stock 38mm piped R100 was rated at. maybe he did do an engine swap?
Ride Safe, Ride Lots
Would a /7 motor easily fit a /2 frame and driveline???
Putting a /7 motor in a /2 frame is pretty routine...these are "conversions" that people talk about. There was even an Oilhead engine in a /2 frame...not sure how easy that was.

Y'know, I really don't know why I am so upset about Roman Polanski. I mean, he's the director of such notable films as Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, and The Pianist. When one is a "respected" artist, shouldn't we allow for certain…shall we say…"proclivities" that maybe aren't what the average schmo should get away with? After all…he's a movie director!
What's the big deal about telling a very pretty little 13 year old girl that he could make her a star – i.e., a model for the French Edition of Vogue magazine? How narrow-minded can you be to imagine that taking pictures of the naked 13 year old girl in a hot tub, plying her with glass after glass of champagne and popping her a few Quaaludes (ostensibly, he said, to cure her asthma), and then showing her what a real man can do without Viagra is a problem? And what's wrong with the fact that he cautioned her to never tell her mother about their "little secret?" It just makes the whole scenario more…intimate.
Go figure…the Los Angeles District Attorney's office filed charges against Roman Polanski for this "innocuous" behavior – gee, it must have been a slow legal day. After pleading guilty to having sex with a 13 year old child, working out a plea bargain, and then paying off the girl's family, Roman Polanski fled the United States in 1977. The American authorities (just stubborn, I guess) issued an international search request in 2005. Swiss authorities arrested him Saturday at the Zurich airport.
How terribly inconvenient for the film world. Polanski had traveled to Switzerland to collect a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Zurich Film Festival, and by going to Switzerland, he finally got arrested for his "lifetime guilt." Actress Debra Winger, President of the film festival's jury, was terribly upset, poor thing: "The festival has been unfairly exploited to secure Polanski's arrest over a case that is all but dead. Despite the philistine nature of the collusion that has now occurred, we came to honor Roman Polanski as a great artist. We hope today this latest order will be dropped; it is based on a three decade old case that is all but dead except for a minor technicality."
There are so many people around the world who were equally as astonished as I was that such an important film director should be treated so disrespectfully. Jack Lang, a former French culture minister said, "While Mr. Polanski had committed a 'grave crime,' he is a great creator and artist, and there's a sentiment here that pursuing someone for a crime committed 30 years ago…is unreasonable…a kind of judicial lynching." I'm not sure what Mr. Lang's notion of what consequences a "great creator and artist" should have had, had he not eluded sentencing three decades ago. And it certainly isn't the fault of the American judicial system that a country such as France would give him sanctuary.
Apparently, 100 or so entertainment industry professionals created a petition for Mr. Polanski's release, saying "Filmmakers in France, in Europe, in the United States and around the world are dismayed by this decision." It seems inadmissible to them that an international cultural event, paying homage to one of the greatest contemporary filmmakers, is used by the police to apprehend him.
After all, with all the stress of hiding in France to avoid criminal punishment for what is ultimately the drugging and raping of a little girl, he still managed to get the Best Director Oscar in 2003 for "The Pianist." In spite of the clarity of his "wrongdoings," the Zurich festival director is experiencing "great consternation and shock," adding, "We are unable to judge the legal background surrounding the arrest."
Let's go through this again: the man drugged and raped a child. The man drugged and raped a child, and then fled the United States to avoid jail time. The man drugged and raped a child, and the fled the United States to avoid jail time, and has been for 30 years treated like the patron saint for the arts by a world that is growing more and more morally corrupt by the moment.
There is hardly a more sympathetic creature on the face of the earth than Roman Polanski. He was born in Paris, moved to Poland with his Jewish family when still a toddler (shortly before World War II). His mother died in a Nazi concentration camp, but Polanski avoided capture and spent his youth in Poland before moving to the United States. His wife, Sharon Tate, was 8 months' pregnant with their child when she was brutally murdered by the Manson family. When you look at his ability to make movies, after these grossly horrendous experiences, it seems logical that you should forgive a little drugging and a little raping of a young girl. NOT.
In my opinion, all those who have participated in any way in the making or distributing of Polanski's movies for the last 30 years should be considered accessories after the fact, and part of a conspiracy to protect a child rapist. Polanski's movies should be boycotted by every decent American, as well as the movies of those who acted in or contributed to any of Polanski's movies in the last 30 years.
The man is an animal and a coward. He's an animal because of what he did to a child; he's a coward because he didn't take his punishment like a man with character.
I am thoroughly disgusted by the world's film community for supporting him just because he makes good movies. I understand that Hitler was a good painter…Maybe we shouldn't have closed in on and bombed his bunker because good painters are a treasure.
There's word that both the Polish and French governments are going to try to get Obama to "pardon" him. I can't believe Obama would agree to such a request while looking into the eyes of his two little girls. Can you?
Amoral is the word of the day – it means no moral compass whatsoever. And that's what we are seeing around the world in those who have come out to sympathize with and support Roman Polanski, child rapist. His heinous act and three decades of freedom avoiding an appropriate sentence don't mean anything to amoral people. It's all about the game of movies. God bless the Swiss arrest and the intent of the Los Angeles District Attorney's office to bring him back to face justice.
Someone in Hollywood is already, I am sure, scripting up for the movie of Polanski's life, and to be sure, he will be presented to the Vatican for consideration of sainthood, because he is big box office.

The Connection Project
A special message from the President and CEO, William 'T' Thompson, '73.
Greetings fellow graduates, parents and friends of the Academy. It is my distinct pleasure to present to you the Connection Project, a progression of ideas designed to build loyalty, strength and unity among Air Force Academy cadets and graduates. All of the work we do here at the Association of Graduates supports the greater Air Force Academy community including our graduates and members. We are committed to building a strong and cohesive graduate community dedicated to supporting the Academy and each other in their personal and professional pursuits. But the AOG's efforts alone are not enough. The task of building loyalty to support a world class university goes beyond its alumni association. If we are to successfully face tomorrow's challenges, our efforts must reach a broader scale. The Connection Project calls upon USAFA, the Air Force and the graduate community to join forces in building a stronger more vibrant network of support for the Academy and each other. Together, our communal efforts will far outreach that of any single organization. Together, we can build a better Academy.
I invite everyone to watch this three part video and to then read the Connection Project (pdf) and offer your views. Please send your feedback to firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to the continuing dialogue as we work hard to serve our graduate community and this great institution.

It's a knock out-system: if the player you picked wins, you're through to the next round. If he loses, you're out. 2. Till the round of 16, you have to pick one player per day. In the round of 16, quarters, semis and finals you pick one player per round. 3. During a tournament, you can pick a player only ONCE. Obviously it's important to make smart choices in order to get far. If you somehow have no players left to pick, you're out as well. 4. You can't pick a player from a match that has started already. 5a. If the player you picked retires during the match, you're out. If he retires before the match, you're allowed to change your pick. 5b. If the opponent of the player you picked retires, it counts like a win. However, you can't pick a player whose opponent had already retired from the tournament. 6. If you want to change you pick, make a new post quoting the old pick.

METAIRIE — A Baton Rouge man has been arrested in connection with the deaths of two people whose decomposing bodies were found last month in a Metairie apartment.
Melvin Miller, 20, was booked with two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the discovery of the bodies. Cellphone records placed him in the New Orleans suburb when the victims were killed, said Glen Boyd, a Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman.
The bodies of Morris Williams, 36, and Akeen Boudreaux, 33, were found inside an apartment in the 2200 block of Edenborn Avenue on Feb. 14, Boyd said. The men had each been shot in the head, an autopsy found.
During their investigation, deputies found that Williams' silver Pontiac was missing, as well as a laptop computer and iPhone.
On Feb. 19, Jefferson Parish Detective Rhonda Goff received information that Baton Rouge police responded to a domestic call of a fight between a man and a woman, Boyd said.
While the woman turned out to have been a transvestite named "Jasmine," the man, who fled the scene, was Miller, Boyd said.
In the domestic incident, Miller was arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Feb. 17 on a count of unauthorized use of a moveable, booking records show.
Baton Rouge police were dispatched to 1644 Lake Calais Court in Baton Rouge on Feb. 16 about a disturbance, according to an affidavit of probable cause for Miller's arrest.
Officers found a man standing at Lake Calais Court and Town South Street, the affidavit says.
The man said he had been involved in a fight with his "male partner," who is Miller, the affidavit says.
The man said Miller had been living with him at an apartment at 7332 Town St., the warrant says.
The man directed officers to a Pontiac, which he said was being used by Miller, in a parking lot at 1644 Lake Calais Court, the affidavit says.
An officer ran the license plate of the car and noticed it had been reported stolen and belonged to someone who was a murder victim in Jefferson Parish, the affidavit says.
While officers were preparing a search warrant for the Town Street apartment, a tenant from a nearby apartment walked outside and said Miller had entered his apartment and was sleeping in a bedroom without his permission, the affidavit says.
Officers found Miller inside the apartment, the affidavit says.
Miller told detectives while being investigated that the vehicle was in his possession, the affidavit says.
During an interview three days later with Goff, Miller denied being in New Orleans when Williams and Boudreaux were killed, Boyd said. Cellphone records placed Miller in the area where the murders occurred, Boyd said.
Goff learned that in addition to having Williams' car, Miller also had Williams' computer and cellphone.
Miller told Goff he got the car from an unknown man in Baton Rouge, Boyd said.
Miller was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on a parole violation immediately following the interview with Goff, Boyd said.

Drew's latest workout is 'encouraging'
By Tyler Emerick / MLB.com
"It was encouraging," Drew said. "There's still a ways to go. I have to be able to do it day after day, but it was encouraging."
Drew dove for a ball in the hole while taking grounders, something he hadn't done since breaking his ankle last July.
"I planted on the ankle and twisted on it," he said. "It feels pretty good right now."
Drew also ran the bases at full speed for the first time. The plan for him the rest of the week is to play three times in extended spring training games at Salt River Fields.
"He's really getting after it, I think he's starting to get really hungry to get back," manager Kirk Gibson said. "He's starting to feel more confidence within himself. I'm encouraged at the pace and the rate he is bouncing back. He is looking stronger. That's kind of what we've been waiting for. He's picked up the pace a lot."
Gibson feels Miley is best option for spot start
PHOENIX -- D-backs manager Kirk Gibson took his time weighing his options in naming a starter against the Phillies on Monday.
He waited until after the club's game Sunday vs. the Braves to see how his bullpen was used before tabbing Wade Miley for the spot start.
Gibson could've brought up a prospect to fill in for Daniel Hudson, who went on the disabled list on Saturday with a right shoulder impingement, but instead opted for a more battle-tested arm.
Miley began the season in the bullpen as the D-backs' long relief option, but in seven starts last year, he was 4-2 with a 4.15 ERA.
In 8 2/3 innings of relief this season, Miley has allowed three earned runs on seven hits.
"He's been in the Major Leagues and he's as equipped as anybody," Gibson said. "I just felt he'd thrown the ball good and he's done a good job. He should have some length for us, five or six innings would be great. If it doesn't happen, we'll adjust."
Gibson said D-backs reliever Jonathan Albaladejo, whom the club promoted from Triple-A Reno on Saturday with Hudson's trip to the DL, would likely come out of the bullpen if Miley struggles.
The D-backs will wait until after Monday to determine whether Miley will stick in the rotation while Hudson is sidelined or look to the Minor Leagues for another replacement.
"As it's going right now, it's a day-to-day thing," Gibson said. "We'll see how he throws tonight and we'll make a decision from there."
Ransom plays on with kidney stone
PHOENIX -- D-backs third baseman Cody Ransom was in the lineup on Sunday and Monday despite dealing with a kidney stone.
The 36-year-old has been waiting for it to pass since he was called up from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.
"I'm not worried about it," Ransom said. "If it gets worse, it gets worse. You deal with life, it's part of it. You deal with it and hope it gets better."
Ransom went 2-for-3 on Sunday against the Braves, scoring a run and also getting hit by a pitch.
In the fifth inning, he cut down speedy Michael Bourn at second base after retreating on a deep ground ball for a key fielder's-choice out..
"You just want to keep it in front of you," Ransom said. "It's what I'm here for, to fill in whenever they need and to do whatever they ask. Hopefully, it works out."
Ransom deals with the pain during the game by taking his mind off it and focusing on his job at hand.
"Adrenaline is a good thing, it really is," he said. "Haven't had much pain. It comes and goes. Hopefully, it goes more than it comes."

AP Federal projects intended to help protect New York and New Jersey towns from hurricanes and coastal flooding have languished – many unfunded – for decades, NBC 4 New York's I-Team has learned. The stalled projects, often approved by Congress as far back as the 1980s and 90s, were intended to study the feasibility of man-made barriers like seawalls, marshlands or large sand dunes to protect coastal areas on Staten Island as well as the Rockaways, Long Island and the Jersey shore – all areas ravaged by Hurricane Sandy last month. One such study, aimed at making recommendations for flood barriers along the south shore of Staten Island, remains unfinished even though it was commissioned in 1993, NBC 4 New York's I-Team found. That study, which the Army Corps of Engineers predicted would be finished by 2014, did not begin until 2000 and even then was delayed due to lack of funding, according to the Corps. The I-Team also found eight other Army Corps projects designed to help minimize damage to areas now left in wreckage by Sandy — all of them also delayed due to lack of funds from Congress and, at times, from local partners.

Nokia's Losses May Necessitate a Microsoft Bailout
Jason Mick
May 7, 2012 1:00 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: driftingfocus/flickr)
Company has $22B USD in assets, but is unlikely to be willing/able to sell them for different reasons
Nokia Oyj. (
) was once
number one in the phone market
. Number one in smartphones sold. Number one in total phones sold. But in 2010, the company was faced with a dilemma. Its smartphone operating system, Symbian, was growing at a steady pace. But overall, it was
being outpaced in growth
by Google Inc. (
) Android and Apple, Inc.'s (
) iOS. Nokia feared that clinging to Symbian could spell a slow death. So the company's board made a bold gambit and turned to former Microsoft Corp. (
) executive
Stephen Elop
for a change of pace.
Mr. Elop in January 2011 gave an impassioned speech labeling Symbian
as a "burning platform"
. Those words proved prophetic, though it's open to debate whether he created a self-fulfilling prophecy. Nokia went on to
proclaim Microsoft's Windows Phone
as the platform of the future, leaving Symbian
in an awkward spot
. Whether Symbian's subsequent
tumultuous plunge
was due to Nokia's abandonment or to customers' turning to better products in the form of Android and iOS is a hotly debated issue.
I. Now, Certainly, the Platform is Burning
But the facts are what they are. Today Nokia still is one of the top-five smartphone manufacturers, it still has over $22B USD in assets, and it has seen
from early Windows Phone efforts. But at the same time the company is
hemorrhaging cash
at an alarming pace and has seen
smartphone sales plunge
amid as the company slowly made its OS transition at a
frustratingly lackadaisical pace
that the situation at Nokia is bad enough that Microsoft may be forced to take more drastic action (in addition to
current payments
) to "bail out" its struggling partner. Microsoft has made no secret of the fact that it considers the phone market to be a
long term money loser
for it, but that it's
willing to pour billions
from its
$60B USD horde of cash
into this pit.

a healing stream of cash. [Image Source: Mobus]
The new report quotes a "veteran technology banker" as commenting, "I don't see Microsoft owning Nokia, but it would definitely provide financing to the tune of a couple of billion dollars."
Another banker was cited as stating that Microsoft was unlikely to purchase Nokia, but was likely to either take an equity stake or offer a generous inter-company loan. A third banker was quoted as stating that other top phonemakers aren't terribly interested in vying with Microsoft for a controlling interest in the Euro giant who recent saw its credit
downgraded to junk
. Comments the third source, "I don't see it as a target for private equity either. It is still too expensive and too volatile. You would have to be prepared to catch a falling knife."
The financial veterans say that Microsoft has strong vested interests in keep Nokia's assets off the auction block. Not only does the firm provide Microsoft with a key smartphone hardware partner, but its intellectual property could prove a threat to Microsoft if it fell into the right hands.
II. Rich Assets Unlikely to be Sold for Different Reasons
The company's phone patent portfolio, is very strong -- particularly given it is less reliant on the kind "fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory" (FRAND) patents that
pack the portfolios
of such phone making giants as Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) and Motorola Mobility Inc. (
). FRAND patents are a lovely premise -- industry players cooperating for the betterment of customers and science/technology -- but in the harsh realities of today's hyper-litigious legal atmosphere, they're
essentially relegated to junk status
. Thus Nokia's strong collection of non-FRAND IP makes it a dangerous player.
Nokia reportedly forced
another non-FRAND powerhouse, Apple
, into
a favorable licensing deal
. And while Apple is oft blamed for starting the global phone "Patent Wars", an allegation supported by its late CEO Steven P. Jobs'
virulent anti-Android rhetoric
, it was arguably
Nokia who started the war
, suing Apple in October 2009.
The phonemaker represents a key threat IP-wise to Apple and the Android alliance. But it could also prove a godsend to Google, if its IP were to be put on the auction block. That would be a nightmare scenario for Microsoft, who allegedly has a rather weak smartphone portfolio, but which has shaken down a number of top Android device makers in what multiple Android allies
claim is a brilliant bluff
(Microsoft refuses to reveal what patents it is threatening to sue Android phonemakers over until
they license).
Microsoft would likely rather pay Nokia off than allow its patents to be sold to rival Google.

Aside from IP Nokia has two major assets it could sell off -- its
Navteq map services unit
and its stake in the
Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) joint venture
it holds with Germany's Siemens AG (
). The latter is the more likely of the two to be sold, but doubts of the likelihood of a sale burn bright, given the collapse of a previous sale offer from private interests. As for Navteq, a sale is very unlikely, say experts, given Nokia's resolute stand that it will not sell the unit, which it views as
a core pillar of its product differentiation.
III. Did Mr. Elop Start the Fire?
Some investors hint that it was a mistake to bring Mr. Elop and Microsoft into the house. States John Strand, founder and CEO of Danish consultancy Strand Consult, "Elop was not hired as a boss for a burning platform. He put the platform on fire."
Perhaps he's right, but the facts are about as ambiguous as possible -- when Mr. Elop took over Symbian was growing in unit sales, but seeing its market share burn away. Again it's impossible to say whether everything that's happened since -- plunging sales, the sluggish transition, etc. -- is solely Mr. Elop's fault.

But it's also hard to completely absolve the tech veteran of some degree of culpability. His precise measure of guilt in Nokia's mess is a
hot topic among analysts
, but their analysis should be recognized as nothing more than educated opinion.
Whatever set the fire; it's certain that Nokia has now been badly burned. And if there's one thing the analysts seem to agree on, it's that a Microsoft intervention may be vital and necessary for Nokia's survival.
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

Acting fools breaking shit down to molecules
Yo let me hit you with my ill street blues
Busta Rhymes always headlines the street news
Woo-Hah! Hey baby girl don't be confused
Sail my seven seas and enjoy my boat cruise

Woo Hah! was Busta's first solo hit single EVER, from album: The Coming, released in 1996. There's also an awesome remix featuring none other than the Ol' Dirty Bastard.
In '96 on the U.S billboard Hot 100 Woo-Hah! placed 57th, it was also nominated Best Solo Performance at the 1996 Grammys but lost to Coolio's Gangster Paradise.
The song's backing track is partially sampled from Galt MacDermont's "Space" and the most memorable lyrics "Woo-Hah! Got you all in check" is a reference to Big Bank Hanks punch line from the "8th Wonder" released by the Sugar Hill Gang in 1981.
Just another awesome detail – look at each individual verse separately and you'll see that EVERY single line rhymes with any other line in that verse.
This song is truly amazing, Mr. Rhymes really lived up to his stage name in this song!

I've put builds of ipython and pyreadline from current trunk SVN in the usual location: http://ipython.scipy.org/dist/testing/ so anyone can test them. Would this weekend be a good time to make a release, or does anyone want a bit longer delay? I know we have a lot of pending tickets, but holding a release further won't help that, and there are many fixes already in the codebase that users who don't track SVN can benefit from, so I think we should just go ahead and make the release.

Story highlights
- Funeral for Cooper Harris will be Saturday in Alabama; father can't attend
- Source says police seized computers from father's office after startling Web discovery
- It's unclear who conducted online searches on animal deaths in hot cars, source says
- The boy was left in a hot car, strapped to his seat in suburban Atlanta last week
As investigators in Georgia looked into the death of a 22-month-old boy left seven hours in a sweltering SUV, they seized computers from the father's office, a source with knowledge of the investigation told HLN's Nancy Grace.
The officers found something startling: an online search for information about how long it takes animals to die in hot cars, the source said.
It's unknown when the Internet search was conducted and whether the father did the searching. Police have declined comment when asked about the computer search.
The father, Justin Ross Harris, has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and second-degree child cruelty.
He sits in jail without bond, with an appearance before a judge set for next Thursday. Police in Cobb County, just outside Atlanta, have been tight-lipped and haven't said whether what they found on the computer is one of the reasons they arrested Harris.
Father won't attend son's funeral
The funeral for Cooper Harris will be held Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Justin Harris, 33, won't be allowed out of the Cobb County Jail to attend, sheriff's office spokeswoman Nancy Bodiford said.
The child's mother wanted to obtain photos of her son from the seized computers for use at the funeral but Cobb County police turned down her request, said Maddox Kilgore, the attorney for Harris.
Police spokesman Michael Bowman told CNN, "If we have evidence, we will not be releasing that due to chain of custody issues."
Bowman would not confirm what, if any, evidence they had in their possession.
A charity fund at Harris's employer, The Home Depot, will pay for the funeral, company spokeswoman Catherine Woodling told CNN. Harris, who worked as a web designer, has been placed on unpaid administrative leave, she said.
The funding of the funeral from the Home Depot charity, the Homer Fund, is a "standard approach," she said.
In an obituary for Cooper appearing in the Tuscaloosa News, the family asks that in lieu of flowers donations should be made to the Homer Fund.
'What have I done?'
Initially, police described the June 18 death of the toddler as the result of tragic absent-mindedness.
They said the dad had apparently forgotten the boy was in the back seat of his Hyundai Tucson; he didn't remember until he was done with his workday, drove a couple of miles and pulled into a shopping center parking lot.
But suspicions grew as police investigated.
"The chain of events that occurred in this case does not point toward simple negligence, and evidence will be presented to support this allegation," said Cobb County Police Chief John House.
A criminal warrant released Wednesday described the events that led to Cooper's death.
A timeline of events
On the day Cooper died, Harris stopped for breakfast at a fast-food restaurant and afterward strapped his son into a rear-facing child restraint seat on his SUV's back seat, police said.
He drove to his workplace, a Home Depot corporate office, about a half-mile away. He works as a Web designer there.
Usually, he would take his son to an on-site day care. But that day, police said, Harris left him in the car seat.
During his lunch break, he returned to his car, opening the driver's side door to put something inside, police said.
After work, around 4:16 p.m., the 33-year-old father got in his car and drove away. A few miles away, he stopped the car at a shopping center and called for help.
When it became clear Cooper was dead, Harris was so inconsolable police had to restrain him.
"What have I done?" he wailed as he tried to resuscitate the boy.
A wave of sympathy
Each year, dozens of children die from heat strokes in cars, according to KidsandCars.org. More than 40 died last year. The organization says its tally is likely incomplete and much lower than the real toll.
The charging of Harris triggered a wave of sympathy and a vigorous debate over whether the heartbroken father should be punished.
Two change.org petitions urging authorities to release Harris were started and then shut down this week. One petition posted this note: "I think that based on the recent developments this petition is no longer relevant. I still pray that this was truly an accident. If that is the case, the DA now knows that the community does not want Justin prosecuted on murder charges."
Another, set up at YouCaring.com, has raised more than $22,000 for the Harris family.
"Please don't listen to the media. It just upsets me to watch it," wrote Heather McCullar, who set it up. "Please don't listen to the media. The family will speak when they can."
Contacted by CNN via e-mail, she wrote back, "No one is allowed to comment right now."
"The manner of death is homicide"
As Harris sits in jail, his wife, Leanna, would not discuss the case with the media.
The Cobb County medical examiner's office found the child's cause of death "consistent with hyperthermia and the investigative information suggests the manner of death is homicide," according to a Cobb County Department of Public Safety statement issued Wednesday. Temperatures hit 92 degrees Fahrenheit on the day of his death.
The medical examiner's office is waiting for toxicology test results before making an official ruling as to the cause and manner of the toddler's death.

Sydney Coastal Waters See Successful Seaweed Transplant
In its natural environment, seaweed plays a major role in marine ecosystems. Not only does the plant provide nutrients and energy for organisms up the food chain, but these plants also provide shelter and habitat for many different species. So when 70 kilometers of seaweed vanished from the Australian Coast in the 1970s and 1980s due to high levels of sewage, we would expect to see some dramatic environmental problems. But thanks to recent recovery efforts, a habitat-forming species known as crayweed is making a successful comeback in Sydney's coastal waters.
Despite improved water quality around Sydney after the introduction of better infrastructure in the 1990s, which pumped sewage into the deeper ocean, the 70 km gap of depleted 'underwater forest' – between Palm Beach and Cronulla - has never been able to recover naturally.
In an effort to restore the seaweed, a team of researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), the Sydney Institute of Marine Science and the NSW Department of Primary Industries has transplanted fertile specimens of the missing crayweed (Phyllospora comosa) onto two barren reef sites where it once grew abundantly.
"Seaweeds are the 'trees' of the oceans, providing habitat structure, food and shelter for other marine organisms, such as crayfish and abalone," says lead author, Dr Alexandra Campbell, from the UNSW Centre for Marine Bio-Innovation.
"The transplanted crayweed not only survived similarly to those in natural populations, but they also successfully reproduced. This creates the potential for a self-sustaining population at a place where this species has been missing for decades," she says.
The researchers say their results could provide valuable insights for restoring similar macroalgae marine ecosystems in Australia and globally, but further research is needed to understand the complex processes that affect recruitment and survival.
The study is published in the journal PLOS ONE.

major macro economic indicators
|2016 (e)
|2017 (f)
|GDP growth (%)
|Inflation (yearly average) (%)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(e) Estimate (f) Forecast
- Fourth largest natural gas reserves in the world
- Sunstantial foreign exchange reserves
- Low debt levels
- Small, isolated economy
- Economy highly dependent on the hydrocarbon sector (chiefly gas) and on China, which accounts for almost all its export market
- State interventionism and governance shortcomings
In 2017 growth is exepcted to be sharply lower than the double-digit growth posted until 2014
In 2017, Turkmenistan is expected to continue to be affected by the effects of low hydrocarbon prices and the economic slowdown in China (its main export market). Public investment is likely to be revised downwards. Some projects in the hydrocarbon sector, especially those linked with transporting gas (TAPI pipeline - Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India) are expected to remain a priority, sustaining activity, especially in the construction sector. In contrast, cuts in investment spending are likely to affect the non-hydrocarbon sectors, slowing the diversification of the economy. The downturn in household consumption should be avoided, thanks to a fiscal policy in support of domestic demand.
Prices are expected to continue on an upward trend in 2017 because of higher energy prices. Inflation will be higher if there is another devaluation of the Turkmen manat, as this would push up the price of imported goods, espcially food products.
The fiscal balance is expected to be just about in equilibrium in 2017 and the current account balance will stabilise
The decline in fiscal revenues, chiefly generated by the hydrocarbon (80% of consolidated budget income) has led to a reduction in government spending, especially on investment. The 10% increase in wages, pensions and study bursaries, announced in July 2016 for implementation in 2017, will be offset by a cut in subsidies on fuel and electricity. Controlling expenditure remains an objective of the government, who is not, however, able to make drastic cuts in current spending because of the potential impact this would have on social stability. A slight recovery in hydrocarbon prices on the world market is expected to help prevent the public financies from deteriorating too strongly in 2017, without however enabling a significant surplus to be achieved. The assets in the Stabilisation Fund, the amount of which has not, however, been communicated by the authorities, should give the country some leeway, at least in the short term, especially as the public debt is still low.
Export income stems chiefly from hydrocarbon sales (95%of the total), so the combined fall in prices and drop in world demand has a strong impact on the current account balance. After Russia's decision, in early 2016, to suspend its imports of gas from Turkmenistan, China is now the country's key client and accounts for almost three quarters of its gas exports. The Chinese slowdown is, therefore, expected to continue to weigh on exports from Turkmenistan in 2017. A less acute need for imports, given the postponement of some investment projects and less robust consumption, should help prevent further deterioration in the current account balance. Net FDI flows are expected to continue in the energy sector, notable from Asian countries, although they are likely to remain weak in the non-hydrocarbon sector.
Following the devaluation of the manat in January 2015 (-19% against the dollar, to which the Turkmen currency is pegged), downward pressure on the exchange rate persists. Further devaluation cannot be ruled out, especially if oil and gas prices continue to decline.
Unstable border security situation and persistent governance shortcomings
The security situation on the border with Afghanistan is very precarious due to the presence of extremist Islamist groups. President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov has won a third term on February 12th 2017with 98% of the votes cast. The multi-party system introduced in January 2012 did not weaken his party's (Democratic Party) grip on power in the parliamentary elections in late 2013. In September 2016, Mr Berdymukhamedov succeeded in passing a constitutional amendment allowing him to remain as head of state without an age limit (previously fixed at 70 years) and to extend the presidential term from 5 to 7 years.
Cuts in subsidies and the level of inflation could exacerbate popular discontent, but a very tight security policy limits the risk of mass protests.
Turkmenistan is one of the worst ranked countries in the CIS according to the World Bank's governance indicators. The country is in 192nd place (out of 204) on the Corruption Perceptions Index and 197th regarding the rule of law. The business climate remains very difficult for foreign businesses.

On Tuesday, East Mississippi Community College (Scooba, Miss.) safety Shaquille Fluker became Georgia's 26th commitment of the current class.
He also gave the Bulldogs their fourth and final commitment at the safety commitment for 2013.
While there isn't a ton of film on Fluker at this point, UGASports was sent a private copy of the JUCO standout's film via Hudl.
Here is a breakdown on Fluker as a part of the UGASports Film Study series.
Where he is great: First and foremost, Fluker is completely fearless. He is the type of safety that coaches will warn their receivers about because he is so physical. He does a great job of arriving at the defender at the same time as the football.
When he does unload on a ball carrier or receiver, he does so with a great deal of explosion. At one point in his film he clearly breaks a receivers helmet with a big hit.
As impressive as Fluker is as a hitter, he also takes excellent angles. He has been well coached, and takes excellent angles to the football. This allows him to cover a great deal of real estate in the secondary.
Another hug strength for Fluker is his body type. At 6-foot-1, 200 pounds, Fluke has a very compact body that holds up well when applying to big hit or supporting against the run. That same body type allows him to be quick, fast, and flexible enough to play in space and cover man-to-man when needed.
Where he is good: Despite being a "hit first" defender, Fluker also has solid to very good ball skills. This is another product of taking excellent angles as he gets on top of almost every route.
When he gets on top of the route, which is regularly, he has good hands and can come down with the ball, or he can use his length to knock the ball down.
He isn't a particularly tall safety, but he does have long arms and they help him defend against the pass.
Fluker also has solid flexibility in his lower body. He doesn't have the fluid hips you would want in a corner, but he does have solid to very good hip action for a free safety.
He does most of his intimidation while the ball is in the air, but he can also fit very well against the run and is a solid form tackler in space.
Where he needs work: At this point in his career, Fluker needs to learn to go after the ball a little more. On film, he passed up multiple interceptions for the big hit and while a big hit can affect a game in many ways, an interception gets the ball back for the offense. He has the ability, but he needs to develop the willingness to make plays on the ball.
Fluker's fearlessness and aggressive style of play can also be used against him with pump fakes and play action. He is usually going forward or backward in coverage and rarely chops his feet to make a read on the quarterback or route.
This makes him vulnerable to the double move, pump fake, or exaggerated play action. He will need to learn to break down in space and play those types of plays with more integrity and patience.
Fluker's love for the big hit will almost assuredly get him flagged at the next level as well. On film, goes high on a few wide receivers in such a way that will draw a flag from college officials.
Overall: This is a huge pickup for Georgia for a variety of reasons. First of all, the defensive coaches can breath a sigh of relief because they have filled a huge need at the safety position. In Fluker, they have a physical and fearless defender who has an SEC-ready body. He can help on just about all special teams, and has a very similar skill set to current UGA safety Shawn Williams. UGA fans are going to love how much ground Fluker can cover in the secondary. While he will undoubtedly get a few flags at the college level, he will also bring a great deal of explosiveness and energy to the table with his ability to explode on opposing ball carriers and pass catchers.

Mark and Terrie Wood submitted a petition requesting speed bumps on the western portion of Northwest First Street, where motorists come off West Main Street (U.S. Highway 64) at a high rate of speed, Mark Wood said.
The petition included signatures from 11 of 16 residents along the street who had no objections to speed bumps. Police Chief Tim Whittenberg said patrols are conducted in the area when school lets out, because buses exit Atkins Middle School and cross Northwest First Street to start their routes.
After Alderwoman Joann Spence said she was against any more speed bumps on city streets because motorists "will just speed between the speed bumps," the council asked Whittenberg if signs could be put up to enforce the current 25 mph limit. They agreed to try this route first to see if it works to slow down motorists on the street.
In other business, Mayor Jerry Don Barrett said because there were questions and some lingering confusion on the transfer of the Southwest Atkins Water Association sytem and customers, he would ask the association's chairman to clear up any issues.
Terry Gardner said the water plant's computer software needed to be updated. Aldermen voted unanimously to follow the recommendation of Deputy City Clerk Barbara Gardner and transfer CD funds.
Van Tyson told council members the Planning Commission accepted five permits during its monthly meeting April 1, including nine sign permits for the new Casey's General Store being constructed on North Church Street (State Highway 105) near the Interstate 40 interchange. The permits totaled $51,050.
All council members were present — including Dave Belcher, Spence, Raymond Staggs, Nell Warren, Sean Rehm and Raymond Pierce — as well as City Attorney Bill Swain.
The Atkins City Council meets at 7 p.m. the second Tuesday of each month at Atkins City Hall.

According to the Star Ledger, Judge Gerard Lynch agreed with the defense on that final point that it was Dolan who unilaterally fired Browne Sanders five months after a number of alleged misstatements by Browne Sanders at a financial planning meeting in August 2005. Thomas, it was made clear -- time and time again -- was on the sideline the entire time, having nothing to do with her dismissal. Apparently, there was enough evidence for the defense to ask the judge for a dismissal. But the judge refused stating 'The jury can handle it'.
This should all be over soon.

CHICAGO -- Triton Industries Inc. reports that it has received AS 9100:C/ISO9001:2008 certification from Quality Systems Registrars, an internationally recognized independent auditor of industry regulations and aerospace management systems.
Triton, founded in 1961, manages entire projects from prototype design to specification, fabrication and testing at its centrally located production facility in Chicago. The company currently provides custom metal fabrication services to several industries, including vending, foodservice, gaming, medical, agricultural, security, transportation and oil and gas.
AS9100C certification is awarded following a review of management systems and operations. These certification standards, published by the Society of Automotive Engineers, define the requirements for the aerospace and defense industry. Triton is certified to ISO 9001:2008, and now AS 9100:C.
"Triton can take a component from prototype to production in a matter of days," said company president Brent Wortell. "We have an in-house staff of experienced engineers and fabricators whose dedication to a precision, quality product exceeds the expectations of our current clientele and brings satisfaction and reliability to our new partners."
Triton attained its certification on the first inspection, Wortell reported; there were no nonconformity issues, citations or exceptions. "We've expanded our staff of skilled metal workers and upgraded our equipment to include the Amada FOM-2 laser, which is one of the world's fastest cutting laser systems," he continued. "Everything we've done in the last year clearly demonstrates our commitment to growing and remaining competitive on a global scale."
Triton's certification information is available on the Online Aerospace Supplier Information System (OASIS) system, managed by the International Aerospace Quality Group.

Exploiting a little known feature built into Firewire port specifications,
Adam Boileau released the source code to a utility authored in 2006 that allows anyone to bypass the Windows
Authentication dialog box on any PC with a Firewire port.
The tool is a simple, 200-line script written in the Python
programming language exploits features built into Firewire that allow
direct access to a computer's memory. By targeting specific places that Windows
consistently stores its vital authentication functions, Boileau's tool is able
to overwrite Windows' secured code with patches that skip Windows' password
check entirely.
Boileau says he decided to release the script now, two years
after it was initially unveiled, because Microsoft had not acted to patch the
vulnerability. Boileau considers his tool a "party-trick demo script thats been
lying around my [home folder] for two years gathering dust," and considers it "a
pity to write code and have no one use it."
"Besides," says Boileau, "according to Microsoft's
definition, it never was a Security Vulnerability anyway – screensavers and
login prompts are … about the Feeling of Security."
Boileau also notes that he's seen others successfully modify
the script to hack Windows Vista's password-check code, as well as use a laptop's
PCMCIA port to plug in a Firewire card and attack the laptop after Windows
auto-installed the card's drivers.
It's important to note that Firewire's provisions for direct
memory access, called DMA, are useful in other contexts, like in the use of
software debuggers. Nowadays, a sizable percentage of the world's software checks
for the presence of programs monitoring memory directly – which is what a
debugger does – and will frequently act differently or refuse to start up if it
detects their presence.
Firewire ports are therefore usable as high-speed
debugging devices, allowing developers and hackers alike to passively monitor anywhere
in a computer's memory and make changes where needed, whether its reprogramming
a password check or seeding buggy software with correct data. It might also
allow forensic investigators to grab an encrypted hard drive's decryption key
directly from memory, while the computer is running.
Also important is that the same technique has been known to
work on other operating systems, including Mac OS X and Linux – and in fact
some people have used modified iPods to run Firewire DMA attacks on the fly.
Common security thought dictates that a computer is essentially lost if it is in your opponent's possession, and that security on a physical machine will be subverted with time: for computers equipped with
Firewire, the thought couldn't be more true.

National Organization Honors Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra
ITHACA, NY — By taking second place in the Collegiate Orchestras category, the Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jeffery Meyer, is one of 24 American orchestras to be honored with a 2011–2012 ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) Award for Adventurous Programming. ASCAP and the League of American Orchestras present the awards annually to orchestras of all sizes for programs that challenge the audience, build the repertoire and increase interest in music of our time.
"This is the second time that the Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra has been distinguished with this national award," said Meyer. "Ithaca College music students who go through the orchestral program learn about orchestral playing not only by studying and performing the major works of the standard orchestral repertoire, but also through substantial contact with the diverse landscape of fascinating and demanding music of the late 20th century and the music of our time."
This aspect of the students' education and training, Meyer added, opens their ears and minds to new music, which is essential for our art form to survive and thrive in the future.
"This depth of orchestral experience is one that very few music schools in the country provide, and as these students become the professionals of tomorrow, they will have a unique and meaningful impact upon the communities in which they will work."
Composed of approximately 90 to 100 musicians, the Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra is dedicated to performing symphonic repertoire from the baroque through the 20th century, as well as contemporary works of our time. The ensemble presents five to eight concerts a year, including the annual concerto concert, at which winners of the School of Music's annual concerto competition perform with the orchestra.
The orchestra has garnered numerous honors and prizes, including recognition in two categories in the 2011 American Prize. Having performed to high acclaim in venues such as the Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall and Alice Tully Hall, the ensemble has collaborated with such prominent composers as Jennifer Higdon and Pulitzer Prize winner Karel Husa. Guest conductors have included Daniel Hege (Syracuse Symphony), Jose-Luis Novo (Annapolis Symphony) and Larry Rachleff (Rice University) among others.
Established in 1914, ASCAP is the leading U.S. Performing Rights Organization representing the world's largest repertory, totaling over 8.5 million copyrighted musical works of every style and genre from more than 410,000 songwriter, composer and music publisher members.
The League of American Orchestras supports and champions America's orchestras and the vitality of the music they perform. Its membership of nearly 900 orchestras across North America runs the gamut from world-renowned symphonies and community groups to summer festivals and youth ensembles.
For more information, contact Molly O'Shea Polk, marketing communications manager in the music school, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (607) 274-3370.

ALTHOUGH the domestic transfer window is now closed, John McGlynn fears that Hearts may still have to listen to offers from other countries – in particular for Marius Zaliukas.
Young Boys of Bern have been watching the Hearts captain, and have two weeks to bid before the Swiss window closes. Former international striker Stephane Chapuisat, their chief scout, has indicated they would be more interested in recruiting the centre-half when he becomes a free agent in the summer, but, even if they stick to that intention, there is also the Russian market to consider – one with which Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov has many contacts.
The financial position at Tynecastle has eased considerably since the club faced a winding-up order late last year, thanks in part to the fee received from China for Ryan McGowan. And more revenue is guaranteed from the League Cup now that Hearts have reached the final.
But, as he prepared to travel north yesterday for this afternoon's re- arranged league match at Ross County, McGlynn warned that there were still difficulties to be faced, and accepted that the prospect of further cash from the transfer narket would have to be considered. "I am not the financial director and I don't know the state of play as we speak, but I still think there's an acceptance that we're not totally out of the woods," McGlynn said. "We still need fans to turn up at the games in big, big numbers. That would be the best way to back the football club.
"Of course, the cup final helps but it doesn't necessarily mean we're home and dry. I still think we've got a few testing months to come, so it's very important that the fans realise that.
"We got great backing on Wednesday night and we need that to continue by the fans turning up in large numbers. Hopefully they're enjoying what they're seeing, because the younger lads are coming through and it's players that they can relate to. They're bound to like the style of football and the way the players are working extremely hard for each other as well."
Hearts did remarkably well in the window given the SPL transfer restrictions under which they are operating. They lost McGowan, but signed Danny Wilson and Michael Ngoo on loan from Liverpool. The risk for McGlynn now, however, is that he could lose another player to a foreign league without the opportunity to replace him.
"It does make it very complicated and difficult. It would be beneficial if there was one [window] across the board and everyone was governed by that.
"You are stretched. When the window closes you think that's it, great, then somebody else has got another two weeks. We could certainly do without it. Depending on your circumstances it may not really worry you but, in our situation, there is a player who has obviously attracted attention and that could mean that we lose him. That would be a bit of a blow.
"One window closes, another stays open. The lad [Chapuisat] has come out and said he's got interest. We just need to wait and see.
"I'm not going to be losing any sleep over it. We just need to get organised and get ready for Ross County then prepare for Dundee United after it."
Although that concern remains, McGlynn has been delighted by his two new recruits, and Hearts have succeeded in preventing the large-scale exodus of first-team players that had been predicted by some. "Danny and Michael have been good additions. I think everyone can see that immediately and recognise that they're good players," McGlynn continued.
"So we've brought in quality, which was key to what we're trying to do. I've said we weren't going to bring in people who would stifle the younger lads coming through – they needed to be better.
"And I think that's what's happened. We have brought in two really good players, and the last couple of performances have been encouraging.
"I'm happy to have the squad that we have now. It gives a real chance, based on recent form, that we can start to climb the table.
"We take nothing for granted, because the younger lads have done exceptionally well but we all realise there can be inconsistencies. I've got to be very happy with the squad that we have now, bearing in mind that we could have lost more. Players' contracts are running out at the end of the season and they could have gone at this time for very little money. And of course players can sign pre-contracts."
Jamie Hamill hopes to be back training on Monday after a long-term injury, and Hearts have no new worries following Wednesday's 1-0 win over Dundee. Scott Robinson, sent off in last week's semi-final win over Inverness, serves the second half of his two-match suspension today.

i used to do this to my ex-wife and it was amazing to see all my cum hitting her in the face and dripping on to her tits then i would lick it off them.i do miss that about her . all i do now is blow over gf tits.
who's the first girl? Man, these girls are all such sluts. Proof that all girls really want a load in their face. Beautiful.
Outstanding facial cumshot cumpilation! Many pretty faces drenched in cum. I love it when I shoot my load on a girl's face and in her hair. The guys in this video are very creative in shooting their huge loads in cum lines on the girls' foreheads, cheeks and hair.
como se llama la de los 3:00 minutos
fantastico direi!!!
whos at 1:26?
name of the first girl??
first girl please!
this is goooood stuff maaaaan, at 1.45
A good sequence of shots mainly with reasonable lighting and little overacting from the girls. The "had my vitamins" catch phrase keeps the tone light but without detracting from the eroticism 3 star rating
Beautiful shots of cum on beautiful girls!
I could feed the whole Africa with that cum.

Lucky- Thanks. I took your advice and it felt GOOD. So many BIG shots of cum here.
All WP 51 cumpilations are extremely hot and superb to wank to.
Please excuse me for bad English! But what they do or can eat, why they have so many sperm?
lovely smile at 1:26... that's how it goes the whole thing
