Ok. I have just recently switched back to C/C++ from JAVA, since XP was installed on the Windows box that i used to have, and i wasn't allowed to install any C++ stuff... But now i have a linuxbox and i am having to start all over again. Essentintially. I haven't had time to locate my old C/C++ books to look my questions up in, but for now i have a really basic question that that probably won't answer:
[EDIT] Ignore this question, i found g++ [/EDIT]
Does linux gcc have both C and C++ libraries? How do i tell it to use one/the other of these?
Why does my IRC client not compile under (what i think is) C++? It complains about the last parameter of the accept( ) not being able to cast from an int* to a socklen_t* or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[EDIT] Here is the error from g++
server.c: In function `int main ()':
server.c:71: cannot convert `int *' to `socklen_t *' for argument `3'
to `accept (int, sockaddr *, socklen_t *)'

AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The 15-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson is physically fine after being taken to a hospital early Wednesday, an attorney for Jackson's mother said.
Perry Sanders Jr. wrote in a statement to The Associated Press that Paris Jackson is getting appropriate medical attention and the family is seeking privacy.
"Being a sensitive 15 year old is difficult no matter who you are," he wrote. "It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you. Paris is physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention. Please respect her privacy and the family's privacy."
Sanders declined further comment on Paris' condition or the circumstances that led to her hospitalization.
Fire and sheriff's officials confirmed they transported someone from a home in Paris' suburban Calabasas neighborhood for a possible overdose but did not release any identifying information or additional details.
Paris frequently posts messages about her life on Twitter, where she has more than a million followers.
One of her most recent posts was from the Beatles' song "Yesterday": "yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away now it looks as though they're here to stay." Another post included the question, "I wonder why tears are salty?"
A 20-minute video of the teen applying makeup was posted to YouTube last week. Paris says on Twitter she doesn't know how the video, in which she repeatedly asserts, "I am so weird," ended up on the site.
"I hope you guys liked it tho and didn't think i'm too crazy," she wrote. "i get weird when i'm not around people lol."
Katherine Jackson shares guardianship of her son's three children — Paris and her brothers Prince, 16, and Blanket, 11 — with the singer's nephew, TJ Jackson.

The racy Lady
Gaga, née Stefani Germanotta, entered hard on singles
charts (particularly on iTunes) with the Colby
O'Donis-aided single "Just Dance" off her
recently released debut, The Fame. Now her candor and
showmanship have earned her a Billboard Top 20 album,
comparisons to Madonna, and frequent championing from
that ubiquitous gay force Perez Hilton.
Gaga sees
celebrity behavior as ritualized art form, a Noh drama in
which limousine arrivals, saucy Maxim interview
quotes, and prison mug shots are all equally rehearsed and
mastered. Though Gaga looks like a Gwen Stefani take
on T. Rex, her intentions, to some degree, are as
serious as a textbook. She believes pop music is
vital, never lowbrow. And maybe she would know best, having
worked with and written tracks for Britney Spears, the
Pussycat Dolls, and New Kids on the Block.
The Advocate phoned Lady Gaga to discuss her
influences, her raunchy persona, and the salacious lady she
calls her "total girl-crush." Oh, and the story behind
that highly suggestive "disco stick" she brandishes
onstage like a titanium emblem off a homosexual
You approach fame like a pop archaeologist,
studying its bizarreness and machinations. Now how does
it feel to experience fame so suddenly? Oh, it's really overwhelming and very
exciting. It's interesting, because you usually
think about fame a certain kind of way in your head, but I
really didn't have a real moment of it until I saw myself on
iTunes at number 1. Because that's your music, you
know? So that was a really different moment for me, as
someone who analyzes fame and celebrity obsession and
media culture and, you know, fame as an art form -- it was
kind of a real moment for me to have my first real dose of
Your bluntness and defiance are signature
attributes. What made you this way? Do you always seek
to defy? No, I guess it's just that New York girl
in me. I've got a pinch of some punk in my blood. I've
always been that way; I was always pretty bad-ass
growing up, trying to stay out late. I was always in bands
with boys. I just always wanted to be independent,
making music, and a free woman. It's just kind
of always been in my blood.
You're a fixture on Perez Hilton's site. Do you
devoutly follow celeb gossip as part of your interest in glamour? I used to be more in tune with it than I am now.
Now I'm a lot more focused on, you know, my project,
and more focused on articulating how I'm going to
bring all of my ideas about fame into fruition in my work.
But, yeah, I'm certainly up to date on pop culture -- I read
Perez's site all the time. I have a tremendous
amount of respect for him as a pop culture journalist.
I'm for sure up to date. It's funny, I do a lot of
research, if anything, on YouTube and the internet a lot.
Kind of seeing what other artists are doing, fashion
overseas, things like that.
What artists are you watching out for right now? Right now I'm excited that Marilyn Manson's
working on his new album. I'm kind of gearing up for
The influences you've cited in past interviews are
totems of gay culture -- Madonna, David Bowie, Boy
George, Sinéad O'Connor, Andy Warhol. What
draws you to these people? What do you glean from them? They're performance artists. They go much
further and much beyond being a singer and musician.
It's about being a visionary and a storyteller. I
just use these artists as a template as the kind of artist I
want to be and the kind of figure that I want to be
remembered as.
You must have a favorite Madonna persona. Wow ... hmm. Erotica. I loved her in the
latex with the black lips and all that. It's defiant,
you know? Most remember sort of remember Madonna most
famously for the Like a Virgin bridal gown.
That's a bit more traditional in my eyes.
There's something about the erotic look that was
so inappropriate, so unsuitable for television. Even at,
like, 3 a.m.
If you had to role play, would you be more like the
"straight" rocker David Bowie or the "gay" David
Bowie, flanked by an amorous Mick Jagger? Hello! Gay, gay, gay! Did you even have to ask?
Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay! Yes! With Jagger on the side.
How do the spectacles of your show come together?
And how did your famous prop "the disco stick" come to be? The disco stick has gone through many a
metamorphosis. Originally it was going to be a cane.
Then we started to talk about the club shows and the
fact that I was going to be moving around, you know, from
country to city to city all the time -- and without a
tour bus for the first part of my tour. So I started
to think about ways that we could have a
self-contained show that was still really powerful and felt
like you were watching an artist who's been
around for 10 years.
So we started
playing with ideas about light and fashion and how we could
incorporate them into the show. And so the disco stick
became a light-up invention. And from that came the
glasses, and then I came up with the LCD-screen
glasses and iPod glasses. For me, the philosophy was
"trash sophisticated." It was "How do I create a show, a
traveling show, a circus that still feels like they got in
everything?" And then we throw in a microphone plugged into
an amp. Something I can travel with, something
that's beautiful, something that has strong
imagery that doesn't require a staff of 50 and 80 trucks.
So, you know, for me, it was just wrapping my head
around stuff.
From a fashion
perspective it's incorporating technology into the work.
It's putting stage design into the clothing.
What's your biggest fashion must? I love my sunglasses. They're just great because
no matter what you freaking have on, if your
hair's messed up and you've got no makeup on,
just pop those puppies on and you're good.
You hop on a girl's lap in the video for
"Poker Face." Is sexuality-bending just part of your act? I would say yes. I mean, I think I'm a
free-spirited woman, and I intend to continue to push
sexual boundaries in my work visually and musically.
Let's say you're only allowed one decadent
lesbian fling in your life -- who's it going to
be with? And who dominates during the proceedings? I would say ... Dita von Teese. I have a total
girl-crush on her. And who's dominating? I
think it would have to be an equal love-sharing.
Though your biggest single thus far is "Just
Dance," you said in an interview that you don't
consider yourself a dance artist. Care to explain? I think that, especially since the word
dance is in the title, that sometimes, you
know, I've been called a "dance artist" a lot, but I
make pop music. And it's got a rock 'n' roll heart
and a little R&B flavor in the melodies. The
lyrics are super twisted. I mean, it's not a
dance record -- if you put it up next to an Ida Corr
record or a Bob Sinclair record, it's not dance,
it's pop. I want to challenge people to think
about pop in a less compartmentalized-genre kind of
way and just think of it a song. I think with this album
proving itself in the pop world, we can break out of
boundaries, think outside of the box, and do something
that's a little bit left of center and still
get played on radio.
I take it we can only expect your gay following to
grow exponentially in the near future? I want to keep making great music, and what I
love about the gay community and my gay fans is
there's no getting anything past them. It's
either great music and a great artist and a great dress or
it's not, you know? [Laughs] The gays
are never afraid to go, "Honey ... I didn't like that
outfit." There's a real honesty and trust with my
gay fans. I'm always going to be 150,000% percent loyal.
To me, it doesn't
matter if I make it big-time as a pop sensation, Top
40, playing in clubs, and selling out arenas all over the
world. The gay community is always with me. Always,
always. I'm not moving on or changing. With the gay
community, it's always and forever.
The Fame is in
stores and on iTunes now.

New Jersey resident Frazier OK after Sandy
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
Frazier, who grew up and still lives in Toms River, N.J., about 60 miles from New York City, told the Reds that his home withstood the storm "with a little damage from flooding and debris." His home and family will be fine, he reported to a club spokesperson.
Millions of people on the East Coast are without power after the storm.
According to The Associated Press, the full extent of the damage in New Jersey was unclear. Police and fire officials, some with their own departments flooded, fanned out to rescue hundreds. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said some of the damage along the Jersey Shore was the worst that's been seen. Christie called the cost of the storm's damage "incalculable."
In 128 games during his first full season in the Majors, the 26-year-old Frazier batted .273 with 19 home runs and 67 RBIs and was among the leaders in several categories among National League rookies.

Siberian Stalactites and Stalagmites Suggest Permafrost Thawing
One of the greatest concerns of global warming is the effects temperature will have on snow and icecaps. With Arctic ice melt, many scientists predict sea levels rise, affecting coastlines and populations around the world. Not only will warmer temperatures affect ice caps, but according to a new study the thawing of permafrost in colder regions could eventually lead to the release of 1,000 giga-tonnes of greenhouse gases into the air which has the potential to further accelerate global warming.
Scientists lead by a team from Oxford University studied stalactites and stalagmites from northern caves where the ground is permanently frozen in a layer tens to hundreds of meters thick. Because stalactites and stalagmites only grow when liquid rainwater and snow melt drips into the caves, these formations have recorded decades of changing permafrost conditions, providing insight to researchers who can compare past weather conditions to today.
Evidence from Siberian caves suggests that a global temperature rise of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) could see permanently frozen ground thaw over a large area of Siberia, threatening release of carbon from soils, and damage to natural and human environments.
'The stalactites and stalagmites from these caves are a way of looking back in time to see how warm periods similar to our modern climate affect how far permafrost extends across Siberia,' said Dr Anton Vaks of Oxford University's Department of Earth Sciences, who led the work. 'As permafrost covers 24% of the land surface of the Northern hemisphere significant thawing could affect vast areas and release giga-tonnes of carbon.
'This has huge implications for ecosystems in the region, and for aspects of the human environment. For instance, natural gas facilities in the region, as well as power lines, roads, railways and buildings are all built on permafrost and are vulnerable to thawing. Such a thaw could damage this infrastructure with obvious economic implications.'
Data from the Ledyanaya Lenskaya Cave – near the town of Lensk, showed that stalactite growth occurred about 400,000 years ago, during a period with a global temperature 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than today. Periods when the world was 0.5-1 degrees Celsius warmer than today did not see any stalactite growth in this northernmost cave. Therefore the data suggests that around 1.5 degrees Celsius is the 'tipping point' at which the coldest permafrost regions begin to thaw.
A report of the research, entitled 'Speleothems reveal 500 kyr history of Siberian permafrost', was published last week online in Science Express.

League is still the best show in town
There were wonders and blunders, and next year will be no different, writes Adrian Proszenko.
And so the year ends as many had predicted its first would under an independent commission. With David Gallop overseeing a game finally starting to fulfil its potential.
As is so often the case in rugby league, things are never as they seem. The ''product'', to parrot the marketeers, is stronger than ever.
This is reflected not just in crowd figures, memberships or the $1 billion-plus that networks have spent to beam it into our households. On the field, it remains the Greatest Game of All. Ben Barba is just as dangerous in his own in-goal as that of the opposition. The hits, even though the most destructive have been given the cold shoulder, are somehow bigger. And the standard of the second-tier competitions is such that NSW now pluck players from park football, albeit with less success than their Queensland counterparts.
And Origin! Imagine, for a moment, how big this thing will be when NSW actually win a series. Alas, there are some things beyond the control of even the ARL Commission.
Which brings us to those matters which remain their jurisdiction.
Delays in setting the salary cap for next year have already cost them the chance to welcome back Israel Folau, while Sonny Bill Williams's contract lies unregistered on Ian Schubert's desk. Surely five years of playing rugby is punishment enough for his clandestine exit.
But due credit must go to the Commish for what has been achieved. The aforementioned television deal, now the players have agreed to keep their grubby mitts off most of it, has given league a fighting fund to grow the game and keep the AFL at bay. Welshman David Smith - would he qualify for the Blues or the Maroons under the present eligibility laws? - will take charge of a business which has taken its time to make big decisions, but at least has got them right. A salary cap and collective bargaining agreement are all but in place. Other outstanding big-picture issues are close to resolution. Smith's biggest challenge will be to gain acceptance from the navel gazers.
Rugby league does not throw down the welcome mat for outsiders. How can the likes of Johnathan Thurston and Cameron Smith not know a man of his standing? One astute observer of the game, commenting on the appointment of the Lloyds International executive, stated: ''John Grant and David Smith would better serve the game if they swapped roles.'' They both deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Not so the referees. Nor some of the best and most experienced coaches in the game. Wayne Bennett, Brian Smith and Tim Sheens all missed the finals. Those failures cost two of them their jobs. Smith, for all his toil over more than three decades, is yet to win an NRL premiership. Having joined the Brumbies coaching staff, his chances are not likely to improve.
The introduction of the National Youth Competition has made this a younger man's game, not just on the field but in the coach's box. Rookies Michael Maguire, Geoff Toovey and Trent Robinson are among the prominent youthful clipboard carriers. They may be young, but will become old before their time.
THE AFL CAME but did not conquer the wild, wild west. Nobody did. GWS finished stone motherless, but so too did Parramatta, with Penrith just one rung above them on the ladder. Wests Tigers, the pick of bookies and punters alike, missed the eight. Only the Bulldogs made an impression, although the one on Billy Slater's ear suggests their grand final appearance wasn't necessarily a positive one. Folau's decision to hop to the Waratahs has been hailed a win for rugby, but will be just another gimmick if it doesn't come off. The former Kangaroo has been lampooned for taking the money but, if faced with the prospect of playing for the lowly Giants, Eels or Tahs, wouldn't you?
Ricky Stuart's revolution at Parramatta has only just begun, while Gus Gould's is already in full swing at the foot of the Blue Mountains. Can Stuart get the best out of Chris Sandow? Watching the former halfback trying to get the best out of the current one will be one of the storylines of 2013.
There will be plenty of other fodder for the fans. Newcastle now have an Immortal on the club's honour board (who will be a coaching consultant at Manly), but having a super coach in Bennett and an owner whose bank balance fluctuates like his weight are not necessarily ingredients for success. Kerry Packer once told George Piggins that anyone who thought there was money to be made in football clubs or horses was mad. Nathan Tinkler dabbles in both.
Russell Crowe has learnt the lesson the hard way. Souths will soon continue without the Hollywood star, but will there be a Hollywood ending? With Greg Inglis, the brothers Burgess - four of them, at last count - and halves that ain't half bad, they have two more spots to climb to reach their destination.
In recent years, Wests Tigers players have failed to respond to the voice of Sheens. The majority will now answer to Shane Flanagan. Beau Ryan, Chris Heighington, Andrew Fifita and Bryce Gibbs are just some of the stars to join league's latest merger, the Tiger Sharks. The few who remain at TigerTown will answer to Michael Potter, the game's most experienced coach replaced by one of the least experienced. At least the expectations won't be as lofty.
What to make of the Roosters? SBW, should he find time in his busy schedule, is expected to eventually report to Bondi Junction. James Maloney has also crossed the Tasman. Upon taking the reins, Robinson insists he hadn't accepted a poisoned chalice. Try telling that to Brian Smith, Brad Fittler, Chris Anderson, Ricky Stuart or Graham Murray.
All will be chasing Melbourne. Their past misdeeds, coupled with their location, make it a hard team to embrace. But no one can deny them their moment of glory. No team is tougher, mentally or physically, or better prepared. Craig Bellamy is no longer the greatest coach never to win a premiership, a title handed back to Smith.
Which brings us to the jewel in the crown. Sir Laurie Daley, as he will be known after the 2013 series, will restore order to State of Origin. For seven years, the Blues have been lulling the northerners into a false sense of security. The Maroons have fallen into the trap. Fools!
The lesson is to never take league on face value. Over time myth becomes fact and the two are harder to decipher. Most still believe that Roy Masters, well before Nathan Brown took up the practice, was the man who introduced face slapping to the game. The truth is that it was the invention of hardman Magpies trainer, David Dickman. Masters took the rap and the notoriety that came with it. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
The best yarns, in 2013 and beyond, are yet to be written. About old rivalries and new, about the game off the field and, most importantly, what happens on it. Next year will be like last year, better than the previous. It has to be. A long-time chief executive is now in charge of the other, other football. A team we don't hate - maybe even a Sydney one - is due to win the title. Now there's a product worth purchasing.

CLEVELAND -- Count Joshua Cribbs among those who want General Manager Tom Heckert to do everything possible to keep Peyton Hillis in Cleveland.
Cribbs, the Browns popular wide receiver/return specialist/team ambassador was in Quicken Loans Arena on Saturday night to watch the Monsters beat the Charlotte Checkers, 3-2, in a shootout.
Before the game on "Browns Night" witnessed by 10,916 fans, Cribbs spoke to reporters and predictably was quizzed about all the hoopla surrounding Hillis, who on March 13 will become a free agent if the Browns don't sign the running back before then.
"This sport is about winning and putting ourselves in the best chance to win," Cribbs said. "The coaches and organization leaders, I know they're thinking the same thing.
"If they feel we can win without him, I would have to disagree. A lot of negative things have been said about him in negative ways, but I know him personally and I vouch for that guy. When he suits up he's ready to play."
The legend of Peyton Hillis took a bizarre twist Thursday when ESPN reported he considered retiring and joining the CIA last season. It was a tumultuous season for Hillis, but not that tumultuous.
Hillis said the report was false and said he'd have to be "insane" to think about leaving football to join the CIA. Browns coach Pat Shurmur talked often last season with Hillis, who missed one game with strep throat and five with a hamstring injury. Shurmur said Hillis never once mentioned retiring.
Hillis fired his agent, Kennard McGuire, one day before the CIA story made headlines. Cribbs said he believes the retirement/CIA story was fueled by McGuire after being ousted by Hillis.
"That tends to hurt a person's credibility when you (an agent) get released," Cribbs said. "It happens all the time. Then you try to scorn a guy. I didn't think that was a great move for him to try to get future athletes under his belt to try to slur a guy's good name. We knew better than that."
Asked specifically if Cribbs was saying the rumor came from McGuire, Cribbs answered:
"I guess so. I don't know too much on the matter. You see how it all came down. It's unfortunate his prior agent would do that to him."
A call left for McGuire was not immediately returned.
Heckert has said he wants Hillis back -- at the right price. Hillis made $600,000 last season in the final year of the rookie contract he signed with Denver in 2008.
Hillis rushed for 1,177 yards in 2010 after being acquired from the Broncos for Brady Quinn. His production fell off to 587 yards rushing and three rushing touchdowns last season.
Three hours after Cribbs defended Hillis, the Monsters put the finishing touches on a hard-earned victory over the best team in the AHL Midwest Division.
Charlotte jumped out to a 1-0 lead 1:27 into the first period on a goal by Bobby Sanguinetti. The Monsters evened the score about six minutes later when David van der Gulik skated down the outside of the right post and banked home a pass by Mike Brennan.
The Monsters took a 2-1 lead in the third period on Luke Walker's ninth goal of the season. The Checkers tied the game, 2-2, with 1:37 left to force overtime.
Neither team scored in the five-minute overtime.
Monsters goalie Gerald Coleman stopped all five Checkers in the shootout. Mike Connolly and Patrick Rissmiller scored for the Monsters, who raised their record to 29-25-2-3.
Lake Erie and Charlotte play again at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Q.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Mitt Romney said U.S. President Barack Obama's campaign was a "disgrace" to the presidency and an Obama aide said Romney's criticism "seemed unhinged."
"His campaign and his surrogates have made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the presidency," Romney told a rally of about 5,000 supporters Tuesday night in Chillicothe, Ohio, the last stop on a five-state bus tour.
"Another outrageous charge came a few hours ago in Virginia -- and the White House sinks a little bit lower," Romney said. "This is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like."
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee said Obama's campaign strategy was "to smash America apart and then try to cobble together 51 percent of the pieces. If an American president wins that way, we all lose."
He added, "Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago and let us get about rebuilding and reuniting America."
Romney's Virginia comment referred to a remark Vice President Joe Biden made Tuesday to a Danville, Va., audience some observers said appeared to be roughly half African-American.
Biden said Romney vowed, if he were president, "to let the big banks write their own rules -- unchain Wall Street," Biden said with a flourish.
Then he lowered his voice and said, "They're going to put y'all back in chains."
An Obama aide later told The New York Times the White House stood by those provocative words.
Biden defended his remarks.
"The last time these guys unshackled the economy, to use their term, they put the middle class in shackles," he said in Wytheville, Va. "That's how we got where we are. Nine million jobs lost, wage stagnation, $16 trillion in wealth you all lost, in your home equity, in your 401k's and your pension plans.
"You're the ones that got nailed. All of America except for the very few," Biden said.
"And I'm told when I made that comment earlier today in Danville, Va., the Romney campaign put out a tweet -- you know tweets [through the Twitter microblogging service] -- and went on the air, went on the airwaves, saying 'Biden's outrageous in saying that.'
"I think I said, instead of 'unshackled,' 'unchained' or -- anyway, outrageous to say that, that's what we meant. I'm using their own words," Biden said.
"I got a message for them," he said. "If you want to know what's outrageous, it's their policies, and the effects of their policies on middle-class America. That's what's outrageous."
Romney's campaign started airing a negative TV ad in critical battleground states Tuesday that accuses Obama of raiding $716 billion from Medicare to pay for healthcare reform -- an allegation Romney asserted in his Chillicothe rally speech.
"He is taking your money to finance his risky and unproven takeover of the healthcare system," Romney said. "He is putting Medicare at greater risk. He is putting healthcare at greater risk. He is putting your jobs at greater risk. We will not let Obamacare happen."
Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said, "Gov. Romney's comments tonight seemed unhinged." He said the negative campaign ads were "demonstrably false."
The Obama campaign noted the former Massachusetts governor supports the budget of his running mate, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, which includes the same $716 billion baseline Medicare cuts Obama uses.
"They're spending millions of dollars on a lie to try to distract from the Ryan budget because they know it's absolutely devastating for them with voters of all ages," top aide Stephanie Cutter told The Washington Post.
"Unfortunately, the fact that both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to turn Medicare into a voucher and raise costs for seniors by up to $6,000 blunts everything else in this conversation," she said.
Senior Romney adviser Ed Gillespie told the Post: "Stay tuned. There's a lot more to be had here."
The campaign accusations also flared around energy policy.
Romney said at a coal-mining company earlier Tuesday he would wean the United States from energy sources outside North America if he served two terms as president.
He then questioned Obama's support of coal.
"If you don't believe in coal ... then say it," he said. "If you believe that the whole answer for our energy needs is wind and solar -- why, say that."
Obama has said he favors an "all-of-the-above" energy policy and does not oppose coal or oil drilling, He has championed alternative-energy sources such as wind and solar.
During a speech is Oskaloosa, Obama said Romney has called alternative energy sources "imaginary" and said Ryan calls them a "fad."
"During a speech a few months ago, Gov. Romney even explained his energy policy this way: 'You can't drive a car with a windmill on it,'" Obama said from a podium set in a field of windmills. "I wonder if he actually tried that. That's something I would have liked to see."
Obama added: "I don't know if he's actually tried that. I know he's had other things on his car."
The remark alluded to Romney's once having placed his dog Seamus in a crate mounted to the roof of his station wagon during a family vacation.
The Romney campaign called the remark unpresidential and said Romney was "a strong supporter of wind power" and would find ways of promoting the industry.

>Running 101>Quad Cities Marathon 2011
Hello~not sure how this exactly works so I am just going to throw it all out there with hopes of getting some good advice!
I am not new to running, been running most of my life. Competed when I was in school, but once out on my own I just ran for the heck of it. I have decided that its time for me to knock something off my bucket-list, and I chose a marathon. I am on a 16 week training program that seems to fit with my own expectations, but seriously its not the run that I am dreading its things like what my diet should be like, what the hay-barn do you wear when you run that long, do you eat while you run, what about drink? I have the bladder of a gerbil and find that if I don't go right before I run and right afterward, I am not at all comfortable. My longest run to date is 7 mi and I did not want for any water before or during and felt fine. This weekend is my 8mi, so I guess we will see. I am open to suggestions and all will be considered unless way beyond crazy! I really want to do this, just a wee bit terrified of the unknown!
I would love to find someone who is familiar with race I am referring to, so that I can get a better idea of what to expect.
Hi bucketlist
I'll be doing the Quad City Marathon if my work schedule permits. I'll be pacing a freind.
It's a small well organized marathon. The final 6 miles gets a little sparse on the crowd support but the bridge crossings are pretty cool and the finish area is always well packed.
Where are you at ? You can drop me a PM if you'd like.
i find the sunshine beckons me to open up the gate and dream and dream ~~robbie williams
BL, best of luck on the journey to your goal. It's all about the journey. Sorry I can't offer Quad Cities info.
My best running friends are: good diet, BodyGlide, comfy shoes, public restrooms (or dense foliage), and water fountains. (Oh, and 3M micropore tape.)
I don't often eat while I run, unless it's seriously long. I'll carry Gu or cash if I'm away much longer than 2 hours or so. If I loop I'll stop back home for a (low-fiber ) sandwich. I no longer carry water since the water fountains are turned back on for the Summer. I also don't try to "make up" calories by adding extra food later. I do try to eat "good" (nutrient-rich) food and let that take care of my energy needs. For me, it's not a disaster to be a little hungry or thirsty on a run. Or even later. Things work out.
I wear what's comfortable. Enhance comfort with BodyGlide, or an alternative, wherever chafing occurs. No need to go overboard buying stuff, just run in it and see if it works. You're gradually increasing your miles, so just watch for discomfort. Eight miles is not that different from seven miles. Twenty won't be that different from eighteen, once you get there.
Keep us posted.
I ran Quad Cities last year and had fun. No complaints about the organization, aid stations, port-a-potties, etc. There are a few hills and the bridges are steeper than you might expect, so get in some runs on rolling terrain if you can. A common complaint about this race is that you get near the finish line around mile 23 or so but then have to run a straight out and back along a seemingly endless row of traffic cones to finish. That was a little tough, but hey, it's a marathon - it's supposed to be hard. Do what the others suggest here and you'll be fine. You can also look the race up on marathonguide.com and you'll find a ton of runners' comments and advice. Good luck, and have fun!
I've not done the QC Marathon, but have done the Half twice (and signed up for the this year, too) and I recommend. I wouldn't call it flat since you have some hills in the first few miles as well as ups/downs on bridges but that has already been mentioned here. Nice race.
Thank you all for the advice! I am still hunting down the right gear (have shoes!) its the top and bottoms that I am finding issues with as my distances get longer. any thoughts? the eating part still a pain. bl
hey, bl -- maybe you can be a bit more specific on your clothing questions. i mean, not to get too personal, but what do you wear now and what have you tried that did or didn't work? mostly, you'll hear that you should wear what's comfortable, but if you'd like people to just throw some ideas around for you to consider, i'm sure they'll oblige. do you want some ideas about the latest fabrics? maybe you just want general feedback on what people have tried that worked?
for the food questions, maybe try the nutrition forum. i think you're worried you are not eating enough to support your mileage, and that you want some advice on how to get enough fuel intake to continue to increase your running. go ahead and post your questions about food in the other forum. i'm sure folks will have some good ideas about how to keep yourself going for the long runs.
I'd use your long runs to test out all the para-running stuff (clothes, eating, drinking).
If you're the type to pee a lot: Drink a bunch of water or sports drink few hours before your long run. Try to void - I was told this is the polite way to say "piss it all out" - before your run.
On the run, practice taking sips just big enough to make the thirst go away. If you can avoid standing on line for the port-a-john, it's to your advantage.
And have a good time. Looking forward to your result.
"If you have the fire, run..." -John Climacus
Well any friend of R2E is automatically suspect but anyway...
Be careful with marathons--I ran one to check it off my bucket list once and it took me 11 years and a dozen more marathons to finally quit the things. Well, at least I hope I've quit them...one day at a time as they say.
As long as you're eating a balanced diet and not avoiding carbs you shouldn't have to make any major adjustments. You may find as you build mileage you are hungrier and you need to snack more. I find when I'm running higher mileage, my body tends to tell me what it needs.
When it comes to hydration, just drink to thirst. You probably will not need to worry about water on any run under about 90 minutes, or even longer in cool weather. I don't carry water either, in the warm months I just plan my routes to pass water fountains if I'm going to be out there a a while, and I accept the fact that I'll finish somewhat dehydrated.
For clothing you kind of need to find what works for you. In general go with lightweight, technical fabrics. You shouldn't have to spend much.
Fear of the unknown is natural but as jpdeaux said it's a gradual process. Right now the thought of a 16 mile run probably seems a bit scary but after you've run 18 and 20 and you back down to "only" 16 it will feel like no big deal. I can't help with quad cities, never ran that one. Good luck.
Runners run.

Ooh. I'll have to check that out. I need new shorts.
How's the training going bucketlist?
Mine not so well. This High Heat and Humidity just sucks it right out you. Combined with my work schedule, RAGBRAI training, and nursing what I hope isn't a running injury has kept me from hitting my mileage goals...but these are all excuses.
If your near the QC Area we are holding a Half Marathon / 10k and 5k in Clinton Iowa on 9/10/11. The Half and 10k will be good race training opportunities for the QC Marathon and Half. Website here. It's far from complete. Hopefully within the next few days more info will be put up. There is a link to the Get Me Registered.
Good Luck, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. It's a well run marathon.
I think everyone else has given the good advice, so I can't really add much. I'd definitely use some long runs as mock marathons, testing out nutrition, shoes, clothing, hydration etc.
I've never trained for a marathon (and in turn, never run a marathon), but I'd agree that building mileage, or intensity, may lead to a need to snack more or a change in your appetite. I don't eat or drink on my runs, or eat breakfast before most of my runs, but, I carry some money on long runs when it's hot in case I need a drink. I also find that because I don't nourish before or during, that I psychologically need to feel nourished when I go to bed the night before anything that might involve effort. So I leave some of my snacking until later in the day on those days.
In terms of clothing, lightweight techinical stuff as Mikey said. Here I'd also have a few long runs in things to see if you get any areas that chafe. My running shorts can often cause chafing (I think caused by the seam of the waistband) and leave me with a really sore back, and some singlet style tops can rub around the underarm. I still wear those shorts, but not for long runs. Running bras can also be prone to rub, especially as they age, so keep an eye out for that kind of thing, and find one that suits you. Bodyglide, lanacane chafing gel and other things like that can help out too.
And definitely "try to void" before running.
Good luck, and sorry I couldn't add anything to what has already been some great advice.
Enjoy the running and your journey to the marathon. Again, the notion that it's a gradual process is really important. If you take things run by run, week by week, you'll be able to turn around and realise just how far you've come.
"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
Ooh. I'll have to check that out. I need new shorts.
Ooh. I'll have to check that out. I need new shorts.
You should stop peeing in yours and they would last longer.

Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for UEFI Specification
The Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) architecture specification describes the primary design elements of an innovative approach to constructing platform firmware for platforms based on Intel architecture.
The design is characterized by a central framework that provides services and infrastructure to combine modular software building block elements.
Together, the infrastructure code (which is known as the foundation) and an appropriate selection of modular building blocks constitute a complete platform software implementation that is designed to initialize the platform and boot shrink-wrap operating systems or other custom application environments.
The foundations comprise the pre-EFI initialization (PEI) and driver execution environment (DXE) phases, which are both described in this specification.
In addition, this specification describes a number of other design elements in an effort to provide a complete set of baseline design and services support for arbitrary building blocks that will customize a particular platform firmware image to the hardware, and the intended purpose and market for that hardware.
Additional design elements include security services, boot-device policy management, runtime services, afterlife, firmware storage, user interface, firmware integrity services, manageability support, legacy compatibility, and boot or resume paths.
Interoperability and component specifications
The interoperability and component specifications describe in greater depth the functional components that complement the PEI and DXE foundations, and that are also architectural in the framework design.
"Architectural," in this context, implies that the functional components provide services that may always be assumed to be present by any code designed and written to operate across a range of platforms that use firmware based on the framework design.

That is all.
No Man's Land?! That's just what I was hoping for.
Oh fuck yes.
Fucking Awesome!
Not familiar with that storyline...
So i looked it up on wiki:
Please be good, please be good, please be good, please be good............
Viewing the Trailer it looks like the villains will be,
1. The Joker (Obviously)
2. Harley Quinn (Obviously)
3. The Penguin (The iceberg lounge is owned by The Penguin )
4. Two Face (From the Uncle Sam posters)
5. The Black Mask (from seeing the Sionis sign, Black Mask's real name is Roman Sionis)
6. Catwoman/maybe ( A quick flash of a black cat jumping on the fire escape)
Given Catwoman's history, it's probably hard to even call her a villain... If she's even in the game, she'll probably be ambiguous at best, serving her own needs.
^ Same goes for Penguin really. If I recall, in recent years he's been more of a shady underworld fence/information broker than a "supervillain".
Frankly, I prefer him that way.
That makes two of us.
Okay where is the preorder button?
Wow...they are rushing this game out. Or was this planned before the first game was released?
I'll wait until they show a release date before thinking that it is being rushed.
Also, short development time does not mean a bad game: Rogue Squadron for the Gamecube had a total development time of around 9 months IIRC and I loved that game.
Who said it is going to be a bad game?
It probably needs a lot less development time since they already have a foundation of assets built and they cut their teeth on the first game already.
I just started playing "Arkham Asylum" last night, and I'm hooked. Can't wait for the sequel!
I can't see AA 2 coming out in 2010 and if it does that probably mean the single player will be about half the length so they won't get £39.99 of me...2011 March/April is the earliest I can see the game coming out.
It looks so cool, it's going to be so much fun to play the new one. I just can't wait.
Separate names with a comma.

HOUSTON - A mother who lost her son in a day care fire has filed a lawsuit against the owner and the state of Texas.
Shomari Dickerson, 3, was killed in the fire at Jackie's Child Care on Crestpark near Waypark on Feb. 24. His 2-year-old sister, Makayla, was severely burned.
Their mother, Tiffany Dickerson, filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the day care owners, Jessica Tata and her parents.
Tata has been charged with 13 state felonies, including manslaughter, abandoning children and reckless injury to a child.
Dickerson is also suing the state of Texas.
"I can certainly see where the plaintiff's lawyer is going in suing the state for, in their estimation, being negligent in licensing Jessica Tata in the first place," KPRC Local 2 legal analyst Brian Wice said. "That's a theory that, I think, could get some traction further on down the road."
Dickerson is asking for actual damages to cover funeral and medical expenses and punitive damages for the loss of a son and for causing psychological damages to the family. A dollar amount was not listed in the lawsuit.
"Her daughter is going to require significant therapy, and who knows what her future is going to hold," said Michael Gallagher, Dickerson's attorney. "She's going to have to deal with disfigurement issues and just the psychological trauma of having to go through the treatment. She deserves to be compensated for that."
Elizabeth Kojah, 20 months, Kendyll Stradford, 20 months, and Elias Castillo were also killed in the fire. Two other children, in addition to Makayla, were injured.
Arson investigators said the fire started in the kitchen after someone left a pot of oil sitting on a hot burner.
Houston Fire Department officials said Tata was grocery shopping at a Target store nearby when the fire stated. Detectives said security video showed her arriving at the store at 1:09 p.m. and driving away from the store at 1:24 p.m. The children had been left home alone, investigators said
Witnesses said Tata returned as smoke began billowing out of the home day care. The first call to 911 was made by someone other than Tata at 1:29 p.m., investigators said.
Tata also faces a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. Investigators said she spent weeks on the run in Nigeria. She was arrested there Saturday.

FTC: National DNC List Coming by Early 2003
"What the FTC wants to do is no boon," said Jon Hamilton, president of JHA Telemanagement. "What the FTC wants to do is make it so simple to opt out that very many people will do so. Clearly, the mission of the FTC seems to be to eliminate telemarketing."
FTC officials said they expect the foundation for a national do-not-call list to be in place by the end of this year or by early 2003, after the completion of necessary changes to the Telemarketing Sales Rule. Consumers would be able to sign up, free of charge, by calling a toll-free hotline.
Industry organizations were quick to respond with concern about the announcement. The Direct Marketing Association reiterated its stance that a national list is unnecessary and inappropriate but said it would continue discussions with the FTC.
DMA president/CEO H. Robert Wientzen said the FTC did not fully explore integrating the proposed DNC list with the Federal Communications Commission, which has authority to regulate banks and telephone carriers over which the FTC has no jurisdiction, and state laws regulating telemarketers. Currently, 20 states have DNC lists of their own, with three more scheduled to become effective by early 2003.
"I was surprised they hadn't figured out more of the details," Wientzen said. "I think they're going to discover that the devil is in the details."
Neither the DMA nor the American Teleservices Association support the FTC's proposal in its present form. The ATA's main complaint was that the FTC's plan seems focused on creating a new privacy bill for consumers rather than preventing fraud, which it said was the original intent of the TSR.
"With do-not-call laws on the books in 20 states, a national do-not-call registry seemed a logical next step," said Matt Mattingley, director of government affairs at the ATA. "The FTC's proposal, however, further complicates the situation and offers many more questions than it answers."
A day after the FTC's announcement, the DMA said it would create a watchdog committee charged with investigating complaints of unethical conduct by telemarketers. A company found to be in violation of the guidelines could be penalized with censure, suspension or expulsion from DMA membership.
If one good thing comes out of the FTC's push for a national DNC list, it may be that the telemarketing industry will finally "get its head out of the sand" and deal with the problems that have given it a bad name, said Hamilton, a 30-year veteran of the industry and recipient of the DMA's Teleservices Excellence Award. High call volumes, poor targeting and ignorance or flouting of telemarketing laws have plagued the business for too long.
But the industry also should use the opportunity to make its case that it provides $662 billion and 6 million jobs to the economy, Hamilton said. The FTC's proposal will put those jobs in jeopardy -- possibly as many as half of them -- he estimated.
"The industry needs to get smaller and more consumer-focused," Hamilton said, "but this will do it in a really harsh way."
The national DNC list heads up the FTC's sweeping program of proposed changes to the TSR. Other proposed changes include:
o Ban on the blocking of caller ID information by telemarketers.
o Prohibition against the sharing of consumer billing information for the purpose of telemarketing because of concerns about consumers receiving unauthorized charges.
o Clarification of the TSR stating that the use of predictive dialers resulting in dead air represents a violation.
o Expand required disclosures for prize and sweepstakes promotions to include informing consumers that purchase will not increase chances of winning.

Downed power line starts fire on Disney preserve
KISSIMMEE -- A fire started by a downed power line developed into a 1,200-acre blaze on the Disney Wilderness Preserve Tuesday.
The fire, near the Polk and Osceola county line, was about a mile from the closest homes, and none appeared threatened.
The fire began Monday night and could grow to 1,500 acres before being contained, said Chris Kintner, a spokesman for the Florida Division of Forestry in Lakeland. But Kintner said "it's in a very remote area."
The wilderness preserve is southwest of Walt Disney World, which is centered in Lake Buena Vista in Orange County. Disney donated the preserve to the Nature Conservancy to help preserve other wetlands to offset any damage the theme park resort might cause to wetlands at its own construction sites.
Tractors and a single-engine plane were fighting the flames.
Student who fell from third-floor balcony dies
FORT LAUDERDALE -- A New Jersey teenager who suffered head and leg injuries when he fell from the third-floor balcony of his motel room early Sunday died Monday.
Michael Santiago, 19, was declared brain-dead and taken off life support with his family's consent, Broward General Medical Center spokeswoman Sara Howley said. The boy's parents and sister were at his bedside throughout the day.
Santiago, a Rutgers University student in Fort Lauderdale for spring break, fell from the balcony onto concrete next to the Days Inn motel's swimming pool. Witnesses said Santiago had jumped at least twice from the balcony into the pool and was trying it again when he lost his footing on the railing and fell.
UF student who headed drug ring gets seven years
GAINESVILLE -- A University of Florida student accused of running a drug ring that supplied the Gainesville area with more than 42,000 ecstasy pills two years ago was ordered to serve seven years in federal prison.
Juan Carlos Asse, 24, begged Senior U.S. District Judge Maurice Paul for leniency Monday, saying he had learned from his ordeal.
"I became something I used to be strongly against," Asse said of his involvement in the drug ring. "Getting arrested saved me."
However, Paul said Asse "wasn't just a user who sold to supply his own habit."
Asse, a UF finance major, and six others pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy to possess and distribute ecstasy. Last month, Paul sentenced the other ring leader, Jason Lumley-Anthony, 23, to seven years in prison.
Investigators said the ring, mostly made up of childhood friends, appeared to be linked to various crimes, including rape, aggravated battery and witness tampering.
Ruling: Photo of mayor's injured wife public record
MIAMI -- A police photo taken of Miami Mayor Joe Carollo's wife after she was allegedly hit by an object he threw at her last month must be made available to the public, a judge ruled.
Circuit Judge Bernard Shapiro said Monday that the photo was exempt from the state's public records law, which normally bars disclosure of evidence in an active investigation.
WPLG-TV filed suit last month demanding the photo's release.
The release was put on hold while the city appeals Shapiro's decision.
Also on Tuesday, County Judge Carroll Kelly set a May 2 trial date for Carollo and gave defense attorney Benedict Kuehne until April 20 to request a jury trial.
Carollo faces a misdemeanor simple battery charge for allegedly throwing a cardboard tea canister at his wife, Maria Ledon Carollo, hard enough to create a lump on her head. After a night in jail, he was released on $1,500 bail and ordered to stay away from his wife.
Maria Ledon Carollo filed for divorce last November.

After a rather intriguing stop at the Chanel Mobile Art exhibit in Central Park last Saturday, Robyn and I went down, deep into Chinatown for noodles. Oh yes, oh goodness, we love our noodles, we love our dumplings. Specifically, fried dumplings and generous bowls of hand pulled noodles.
The place is called Lan Zhou Handmade Noodles and there, taped on the walls, like many places in Chinatown, were two menus. One English and one Chinese. The Chinese menu is always larger, and it was no different in this case. Sadly, neither of us could decipher a single character on the bright orange menu. Next to that menu was the English version, a menu less than half the size of the former, boring black ink printed on white paper.
Curiousity aside, the dinner was no less enjoyable as we devoured fried dumplings, crisp and plump, stuffed with pork and chives. Some like dumplings plain, others dipped in shoyu – I've been raised to pair dumplings with black vinegar. To each his/her own.
Above, Robyn's order of "Dry Noodles with Minced Pork Sauce" (Jia Jian Mein)…
…and my "Beef Noodle Soup." The noodles for all dishes are hand-pulled, quite literally the minute after your order is placed. We sat along the wall seats and watched as the man transformed balls of dough into thin strands in a matter of minutes. He adds only a few sprays of water here and there, and an occasional slick of oil to prevent the dough from sticking. The most wonderful part is that, unlike soba or pasta, the making of "hand cut" noodles is indeed done with the hand alone. No knifes, or yardsticks for precision cutting, no forks. Nothing but the hand – I found that most impressive.
And also, unlike soba and pasta, the dishes at Lan Zhou top out at $4.50 a bowl. Four. Fifty. For noodles handmade on the spot! Fresh dumplings skins! The only downside is paying $.75 for a bottle of water (no cups of tap here ;). But at prices like that, there's no reason to complain.
I went home that evening, very stuffed and content…
…I couldn't stop babbling about the noodles to my apartment-mates, so Shann, Steph, Darien, Justin (visiting from Yale for the weekend) and I found ourselves there the next night – celebrating Shann's 23rd birthday.
But this time around, with the aid of Justin's Chinese deciphering skills, we discovered a few of the menus items that just didn't make its way over to the English version.
See? Look how short this menu is!
First off the English menu, rounds of dumplings, both steamed…
…and fried. I cannot decide which I like better – a bit of both is perfect.
Darien and Steph each had the Beef Brisket Soup Noodles…
…and Shann went with the Lamb Soup Noodles.
Justin and I ventured to the Chinese menu, where my stomached settled upon an order of Duck and (fake) Abalone Noodles…
…here's a closer shot. Details, details! :) Mushrooms on the right, and a knob of ginger right above that.
The menu lists Fish Balls in Soup as an order item, but not Fish Ball Noodle Soup. However, with a kind request, they will gladly add a serving of noodles to compose an "entree."
Harboured into the center of each fish ball is a juicy sweet nugget of ground pork – a much welcomed surprise.
Post noodles, Justin tried to make out a few more characters on the menu…"hrm this is…sweet? dessert? I think this says something about sweets." My attention snapped immediately back to his words upon hearing, "dessert." DESSERT?! I encouraged him to prod a bit more, upon which he discovered "mochi" and then "salty." Salty Sweet Mochi? The two items involving mochi were listed side by side. So we ordered both.
These mochi dishes took the longest to arrive – 15 minutes (whereas noodles and dumplings took no more than three minutes). Perhaps this is because it is an infrequently ordered dish? We didn't see them at other tables on either visit. Ten pieces to an order, a single bite of boiled mochi dough…
…encasing sweet porky nuggets, the same meat mix encountered in the fish balls.
The sweet mochi was shaped slightly differently, "so you can distinguish" the server said in Chinese, pointing at one and saying, "tian" (sweet) and the other, "xian" (savoury).
A bite of into the mochi exposed an interior coupling crushed peanuts, coconut, and sesame seeds bound in thick sweet syrup. There were a few more things we could not make out on the menu, including a paragraph on the bottom right. Justin gave it a shot and could only make out, "March 1st…more…more!"
"More what?" Shann asked.
We failed to answer her question that night.
A few days later I told Robyn of our attempts to decipher the menu.
"Oh! I should just ask my mom!"
And so she did…and now we know what the entire menu says!
Check her Flickr for the full translation…she also made a related post Serious Eats New York.
And as for the answer to Shann's question of "more what?" Robyn's mom translation provided, "due to inflation, the menu prices were adjusted accordingly on March 1." More, more indeed :)

The X-Force Trend and Risk Report for 2011, released Thursday, revealed a 50% decline in spam email compared to 2010, more diligent vendor patching of security vulnerabilities, and fewer Web application vulnerabilities, with half the incidence of cross-site scripting vulnerabilities compared with four years ago.
One attack trend is an increased use of phishing emails that impersonate notifications from social media sites. "The volume of email attributed to phishing was relatively small over the course of 2010 and the first half of 2011, but phishing came back with a vengeance in the second half, reaching volumes that haven't been seen since 2008," according to the report. "Many of these emails impersonate popular social networking sites and mail parcel services, and entice victims to click on links to Web pages that may try to infect their PCs with malware. Some of this activity can also be attributed to advertising click fraud, where spammers use misleading emails to drive traffic to retail websites."
The social media phishing trend caught my attention because I had just embarrassed myself by stumbling across one of those attacks when I met with Tom Cross, X-Force Threat Intelligence Manager, at the South by Southwest conference in Austin earlier this month--more on that after the news.
[ Are data defenders getting better or just luckier? See Data Breach Costs Drop. ]
Cross said the decline in spam detected by IBM's global spam monitoring network reflects takedowns of several large spam botnets. It may or may not last, but, for the time being, that action has made a significant dent in spam volumes, he said.
Overall, Internet security seems to be improving, due to an industry focus on improving the quality of software. IBM saw a 30% decline in new exploit code--widely distributed hacking kits to exploit common software vulnerabilities--presumably because there are fewer new vulnerabilities popping up. Vendors are doing a better job of patching their software promptly when vulnerabilities are discovered. By IBM's count, the percentage of unpatched vulnerabilities declined to 36%, compared with 43% in 2010.
IBM found cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities--errors that make it possible to redirect user input from one site to another--are half as likely to exist in customers' software as they were four years ago. However, IBM says its security scans still find XSS vulnerabilities in about 40% of applications, "still high for something well understood and able to be addressed," according to the report.
Meanwhile, one variety of code-injection attack is on the wane, but attackers have shifted their attention to another. For years, many attacks on Web applications focused on SQL injection--tricking database-driven websites into executing queries of the attacker's design. For example, a dynamic page for displaying a single user's private account information by ID number might be tricked into substituting a wildcard in the query and displaying everyone's private account information.
The good news is the incidence of SQL injection vulnerabilities in public websites dropped by 46% in 2011. The bad news is that the number of shell command injection attacks rose by two to three times in 2011, according to IBM. A shell command vulnerability exists when a Web application passes a command to the Unix shell or other operating system command line in a way that an attacker can manipulate to execute his own commands.
Something Phishy This Way Comes
I mentioned experiencing my own social media pratfall, just prior to a meeting with IBM's Cross. The morning I was to meet him and some of his coworkers for breakfast in Austin, I received a Twitter direct message that appeared to come from one of my social media contacts who works at an IT services firm. Just: "Did you see this tweet about you?"--and then a link.
Half-awake and viewing this on my iPhone, I clicked through and was prompted for my Twitter password, which I entered. The Twitter look-alike site I had just visited--at twitterlogin312707.20m.us--then dumped out back at Twitter.com, which then asked me for my password for real. Okay, I was dumb, but not so dumb that I didn't realize what had just happened. Within a few minutes, I had logged in from my laptop and changed my Twitter password. I did the same on a few other social media websites where I used the same password--also a bad habit, I know, but like most people I can only remember so many passwords.
When I confessed all over breakfast, Cross said I had probably acted quickly enough to avoid problems. As long as I didn't find anything odd in my feed or direct messages (as far as I know, no one has been getting appeals to buy herbal Viagra from me), I was probably all right. I'm just lucky whoever designed this attack didn't have a script ready to log into my account and change my password to some random value before I could get to it.
As for sharing a password between accounts, he thought it was good that I at least limited the practice to a class of accounts (for social media sites) rather than also using it for things like Internet banking.
In recent weeks, I've also been on the receiving end of some odd social media spam on Facebook. A woman I know through local politics started tagging me in photos--photos of women's shoes. At first, I thought she was caught up in some odd social media marketing scheme, abusing the photo tagging notification system (in a way I've seen some other folks do) to draw attention to an image and associated message, regardless of whether I was actually in the photo. But as I saw the complaints piling up on her Facebook wall, and still nothing changed, it dawned on me that her account had been taken over by a bot (or something). She later confirmed to me that she had lost control over her account and had been unable to navigate Facebook's self-service processes for resetting her password.

Predicting 2013's biggest turnaround teams
Five losing clubs from '12 that could make the postseason this October
By Matthew Leach / MLB.com
Most likely, we're not going to see a pair of turnarounds in 2013 like the Orioles' and Athletics' from a season ago. There's a reason those teams captured so much attention: what they did is rare.
Still, it's not all that uncommon for a team to bounce back after a rough season the year before. In each of the past seven Major League seasons, at least one club has made the postseason after having a losing record the previous year. With that in mind, here's a look at five teams that posted sub-.500 records in 2012 but have designs on getting into October in '13.
Loaded for bear: Toronto Blue Jays
Here's the obvious one. No team underwent a more radical transformation than Toronto this winter, and the result is that the Jays aren't just hoping to win. They're expecting it.
The whole team received an overhaul, with Jose Reyes and Melky Cabrera joining the lineup and R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson added to the pitching staff. Plus there's the return from injury of Sergio Santos, and it's expected that Jose Bautista will be healthier and more effective.
The result is a team that should be much improved, even though it was already not bad. Additionally, the rest of the division appears not to have improved much. The Yankees and Orioles had relatively quiet winters, and the Red Sox improved, but not nearly as much as Toronto. The new-look Blue Jays probably have more pressure and higher expectations than any team coming off a 73-89 season in history.
Prognosis: Excellent, arguably the favorite in the American League East.
One step closer: Seattle Mariners
Seattle hung around the fringes of contention last year, but ultimately fell well short in the ferociously competitive AL West. The M's had an aggressive winter, and it was clearly geared toward winning in the short term. They brought in a number of players who can be free agents after the year.
To an extent, they addressed their needs on offense, adding power in the form of Michael Morse and Kendrys Morales. Seattle didn't address it's on-base percentage problems, though, and in fact might have made them worse by trading John Jaso.
The Mariners also traded away some stability in their starting rotation, shipping Jason Vargas to Anaheim in the Morales deal. However, reports indicate they're close to a deal with Joe Saunders, which would help alleviate that situation.
Still, while hopes are high and the plan is to win now, it's hard to see how the M's closed the gap enough to make real noise in the AL West.
Prognosis: Probably improved, but probably not enough to narrow the gap.
Still waiting for the breakthrough: Pittsburgh Pirates
At first glance, it may appear that the Pirates ran in place this winter, but the truth is they're likely better than they were. The main upgrade they made, at catcher, was enormous. The downgrade, in the bullpen, is smaller than it probably seems.
Replacing Rod Barajas with Russell Martin instantly makes Pittsburgh a better offensive and defensive team. Replacing Joel Hanrahan with Mark Melancon in the bullpen might not make that much difference. And if Francisco Liriano's deal ever gets done, he provides an intriguing risk/reward option in the rotation.
The third-place Brewers appear to have improved less than Pittsburgh did, and the second-place Cardinals recently took a big hit with the news that Chris Carpenter will be unavailable. The Bucs, whose minus-23 run differential was the best of any sub-.500 team last year, may at least get back to a winning record in 2013.
Prognosis: Closed the gap on third place, but maybe not on a playoff spot. Could finally top .500, though.
On the rise: Kansas City Royals
Without doubt, this is one of the most intriguing teams in ball. The Royals were thought to be on the verge a year ago, only to have a biblical plague of injuries in their starting rotation, along with a distressing number of young hitters who didn't develop as planned.
They brought in a slew of starters in hopes of securing some innings -- headed, of course, by James Shields. They didn't do much to the lineup, figuring that they would sink or swim with those young hitters, guys like Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas.
The Royals' pitching should be better. Their lineup might be better, but it's not the slam dunk it might have been with Wil Myers still around. The bullpen should still be stout. They're improved; the question is whether the gap was too big.
Prognosis: First is probably not realistic, but dreaming of second place is not unreasonable.
The really long shot: Colorado Rockies
OK, let's be honest here. The Rockies are farther away than any of the teams above. They're in one of the game's toughest divisions, they were 64-98 last year, and they were outscored by 132 runs. They need to improve by an awful lot to get into any kind of contention.
But if you squint, you can see how it happens. A lineup core of Troy Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez, Dexter Fowler and Todd Helton could be championship-caliber if everyone is healthy. Youngsters like Chris Nelson, Wilin Rosario and Josh Rutledge could be nice complementary parts.
As for the rotation, similar caveats apply. It's a long shot -- a whole lot has to go right. But at least the pieces are there, where, if things do go right, it could be a strong unit. Jorge De La Rosa, Jhoulys Chacin and Juan Nicasio have all shown excellent ability in the past.
It's a really long shot. It's a longer shot than drawing to an inside straight-flush. But out of all the teams that had really rough years last year, none has as much chance to be the Orioles or A's of 2013 as the Rockies.
Prognosis: It's probably going to be a long year. But if you're looking for reasons for hope, they're there.

Are the racing stripes VIA313 only, or applicable to this style universally?
Craig, You mentioned that the pan was from Detroit Style Pizza Co?? I live literally 2 miles from there; does he sell his pans?I know that the owner recently re-opened it as his own place, as it was Cloverleaf. It's one of my favorite pizza places, but we only get it seldomly due to price (big family to feed).I'm trying to find a great Detroit recipe for home and even went as far as taking a picture from the lobby of DSPC that is a Detroit News or Free Press article with a "detroit" style dough recipe from the 80s. Mine didn't turn out too well.Anyways, great pics. Keep the info coming!!
Yes - from their website. I posted the link in here someplace I think.
http://detroitstylepizza.co/detroit-style-pizza-pans/I recently ordered some but haven't received them yet.
Those look mahvelous! The Brothers, being GDY are afraid to put the Japs to their pies, they forget where they are now.
1) The crumb seems a bit tighter than before, is it still as tender?2) The cheese brownitization looks stellar, new blend, or new method?3) Killer looking pies, no lies.
Craig,Very nice, as usual. Now that you have acclimatized to the Detroit style, with your personalized spin on it, have you come to any conclusions as to that style as compared with the other styles you have had?Peter
I prepped my WFO oven for Zane to cook DS at the Driveway Throwdown, but he only did one in it then used the kitchen oven. Although it worked fine, my door is a PIA and you can't keep an eye on the pie like you can in the kitchen. It is a delicate dance to get the WFO to 550 degrees within a small time window anyway.

I am a Physics graduate student working on a Monte Carlo simulation I wrote in C++. I've reached the point where my major concern is how fast the program runs since I need to do lots of data averaging to get clean results. I'm trying to optimize for speed and have a couple of specific questions. When I began writing the simulation I had more experience with Fortran than C++, and my code is likely somewhat oddly structured for an object oriented language.
My major question is if it makes a significant performance difference to make a function a member of a class rather than pass the class object to the function by pointer. My program is currently structured such that I have 3 classes that divide up different types of data, and I pass one or more of these class objects to global functions by pointer. The functions do work on the data. These functions perform the major work of the program and are called millions of times.
I've been considering reworking the whole thing, perhaps lumping all of the data structures into one class, and making all the functions member functions. This would be worth the effort if I gained a 10% performance increase, probably not worth it for a 1% increase.
Other than that I have heard that references can be better optimized by the compiler than pointers, and that arrays with dimensions that are a power of 2 can be manipulated more quickly. If anyone has any advice regarding these it would be appreciated.
I know which functions are slow due to their calculation burden, and it is possible no structural changes can significantly speed things up, but if anyone has any advice it would be appreciated.

Hi! My name is Megan, but I go by various nicknames that change from time to time. I know more about Harry Potter than American History (boooring!), algebra (eww!), and English (remind me why I have to take this when I've been speaking it all my life?!) combined.
In my spare time, I enjoy fangirling Sirius, writing fanfiction (obviously!) and reading HP!
Some random facts about me:
I'm 14 years old (as of November 10!).
I live in the US, though I personally think the UK is way cooler.
I like muffins rather more than the next person.
I am getting my walk-in closet painted Gryffindor colors.
I am almost completely ambidextrous.
I still sometimes cry over the Marauders (and Lily, can't forget her!) all being dead, but I am NOT an emo!
I pity you, as you must be extraordinarily bored to be reading all this (Might I suggest my story?...).
That's pretty much all. Although I will keep posting chapters for the unnaturally large thrill I get over seeing myself on the Internet, reviews would be great!

This works for me. Since the site went down, there are less links, and the feeds get taken down during the broadcast.
Like I said, myp2p.eu works a lot better I find. Quality and quantity. It's free, all you need is to download sopcast, free as well.
For a CL game you'll have 50 links. The thing is they're broadcasted using a variety of viewers. Some use media player like the atdhe links. I suggest downloading the sopcast viewer because it's the common denominator And the quality is perfect.
You'll thank me later.
I worry about Tottenham against Real. The injuries they have had over the last couple of months have really started to wear on the team. Bale still isn't 100% and Tottenham has little chance without him.
I'd love for them to keep charging ahead. It's been a great run so far.
Great news for those who don't have FSC, like myself. MSG+ is showing the Inter vs. Schalke match live tomorrow and showing a replay of the Real Madrid vs. Tottenham match at 8:00.
Schalke 4 - 2 Inter in Milan !!
Game is a cracker (for BD )
Woof. What a disaster for Tottenham. Bale gets a little dinged up, another injury, Crouch is functionally retarded and gets sent off in the 15th minute, and they have scored a goal since March 6th and haven't won a game since beating AC Milan on February 15th.
Right now, they are closer to not playing in the Europa league, then making the Champions league next season.

It seems like a week can't pass this season without Celtics forward/center Kevin Garnett provoking someone or drawing headlines with his antics.
Following Chicago's dramatic 100-99 overtime victory over Boston on Friday night, Bulls center Joakim Noah sounded off on Garnett's rough play, according to ESPNChicago.com.
"(I was) just playing defense," Noah said. "Just playing sound defense, just contesting his shots. He's a helluva competitor. He's always on some bulls---. Always on some bulls---."
"Just trying to throw elbows," Noah said of Garnett. "Cheap shots, just trying to get you off your game. But he's a vet. He's been doing this a long time, but it's all right."
Noah and Garnett have tangled before. NBA.com reported in April 2010 that Noah referred to Garnett as a "dirty player" following a playoff game between the Celtics and the Heat.
"He's unbelievable, that guy," Noah said Sunday after the Bulls' practice at Quicken Loans Arena. "No, I'm going to say it: He's a dirty player, man. He's a dirty player. That's messed up, man."
Following a game earlier this month, Garnett was pursued to the Celtics team bus by Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony following some rough play that resulted in double technicals and trash talk that Anthony deemed to have crossed the line. Anthony was eventually suspended one game for his post-game actions; Garnett was not disciplined.
One week before that, Garnett was ejected for a flagrant foul two to the face of Pacers forward Tyler Hansbrough.
On Christmas, Garnett was on the receiving end of some rough play, when Nets forward Gerald Wallace yanked on his shorts during an exchange that resulted in double technicals. Earlier this season, in a non-violent exchange, Garnett gave a cold shoulder to Heat guard Ray Allen, who left Boston to join Miami in summer free agency.
One angle to watch: it's very likely that Garnett, Anthony and Noah are all members of the 2013 Eastern Conference All-Star team. Garnett and Anthony were both selected as starters by a fan vote and Noah is one of the most deserving candidates to be selected as a reserve by the coaches. Reserve selections will be announced on Thursday.
