NHTSA Approves GM's Next Generation Camera Mirror
When Cadillac first unveiled the hybrid rear-camera mirror system in the Cadillac CT6 sedan, it was a preview of a significant technological leap: A mirror that would support a full-view rear backup camera display. It was unknown if the novel technology would make it through the rigorous screening of the federal government, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has now approved the technology for production vehicles.
Due to initially launch in the CT6—before branching out to the XT5 crossover and the Chevrolet Bolt EV—the Rear Camera Mirror uses an all-new high-dynamic range camera feed system that reduces glare and provides improved visibility in low-light situations. The feed is presented in a 1280x240 in-mirror LCD display with 171 pixels per inch. This potent steup brings a 300 percent improvement in rear vision, which, in turn, helps improve safety, especially when backing up in high traffic volume areas or where small children are present.
"The closest comparison to this kind of rear vision would be driving a convertible with the top down," stated Cadillac CT6 chief engineer Travis Hester. "In addition to the increased field of view, the technology eliminates any rear seat, rear pillar or passenger obstructions, allowing the driver an unimpeded view of the lanes behind and traditional blind-spots." The lens of the camera is treated with a specially designed hydrophobic coating that helps it maintain visibility in poor weather conditions. However, if the lens does somehow get coated in grime, the driver can simply flip a small toggle switch that transforms the display into a traditional rear view mirror.
The NHTSA's Chief Counsel, Paul A. Hemmersbaugh, sent a letter to Brian Latouf, GM's Director of Global Vehicle Safety, which stated, "While the Full Display Mirror is an item of motor vehicle equipment that performs additional driver activated functions, we do not believe that the fact that it performs such functions alters its identity as an item that includes an "inside rear view mirror of unit magnification..." While this is indeed a sign of progress, the agency's slow acceptance of camera technology still appears to exclude camera-based side mirrors. Several automakers have begun an organized effort to replace side mirrors with new camera-based systems that would allow vehicles to be more stylish, while improving aerodynamics due to the elimination of the drag and wind buffeting that comes with traditional side view mirrors.
Despite this organized effort, it appears that the NHTSA is not budging on its requirement for vehicles to have physical side view mirrors; perhaps further advancements in both vehicle and camera technology could help sway their opinion, and at least open the channel for definitive talks on the subject between the NHTSA and automakers.

Expand Reply Retweet Favorite 7m Chris Broussard @Chris_Broussard Bobcats will also talk with Pat Ewing, tho they haven't yet asked for permission from Orlando...they have talked briefly with Nate McMillan Expand Reply Retweet Favorite 8m Chris Broussard @Chris_Broussard ...Bobcats will interview Mike Dunlap, associate head coach at St. John's U, & Cleveland Cavs assistant Nate Tibbetts next week, sources say And Scottley Crue for this one: Sam Amick @sam_amick Regarding Charlotte coaching vacancy, sources say Memphis assistant Dave Joerger will also be interviewed. And then an article from Wojo on Yahoo about our coaching search: Orlando Magic assistant Patrick Ewing will interview for the Charlotte Bobcats head-coaching job, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The Bobcats are working to set up a meeting with Ewing once the Magic are finished in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Ewing is a close friend of Charlotte owner Michael Jordan, and several sources believe the Hall of Fame center will turn out to be a serious candidate for the opening. Charlotte will make pitches to Golden State Warriors assistant Mike Malone and former Portland Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan, but will likely hire its next coach from a pool of candidates like Ewing who have been less in demand for head-coaching jobs. Ewing has worked eight seasons as an NBA assistant, including the past five on Stan Van Gundy's staff with the Magic. Detroit Pistons general manager Joe Dumars interviewed Ewing for his franchise's head-coaching job last spring and was impressed with him. Charlotte officials flew to the Bay Area to meet with Malone on Tuesday. Malone is a coveted candidate who will likely be on the short list of most coaching openings this spring. He was the runner-up for the Warriors' job that went to Mark Jackson last year. The Warriors then made Malone the league's highest-paid assistant at $750,000 a year, hiring him to lead Jackson's staff. Charlotte has to sell candidates like Malone and McMillan that Jordan is willing to make the financial commitment to build a winning organization. Charlotte will have to commit money to coaching salaries, as well as sell a plan to stock the franchise with talent. Most of the better candidates will want to wait until the May 30 draft lottery to see if Charlotte will win the No. 1 overall pick to take Kentucky center Anthony Davis. The Bobcats parted ways with coach Paul Silas after a season that saw them finish with the lowest winning percentage (.106) in NBA history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Girl in Dior Review
Author: Annie Goetzinger
Publisher: NBM Publishing
Despite being a very visual medium, fashion is rarely the focus of graphic novels. But Girl in Dior shows the potential for bringing fashion, and particularly fashion history, to life through a combination of text and artwork. In this book, Goetzinger tells the story of Christian Dior's rise from his first show in 1947 to the end of his life a decade later in 1957. The story is told from the point of view of Clara, an eager young fashion reporter who attends Dior's first show. After this event she becomes wrapped up in his world, ultimately becoming a Dior model and an important part of his inner circle. Though Clara is a fictional character, Goetzinger weaves her in with the famous people who populated Dior's inner circle, such as Lauren Bacall, and uses her to reveal details about Dior's works and his designs. Clara serves as a stand-in for the reader throughout the story, particularly because she is just as in awe of Dior and his world as is the reader. Moreover, because the story is told from the point of view of an outsider, and specifically one with the mind of a journalist, Goetzinger is able to integrate elements of Dior's background without overwhelming the story.
Though the story is enjoyable and informative, it is Goetzinger's artwork that sets this book apart. She brings motion and depth to the illustrations of Dior fashions and, in particular, his shows. Moreover, the style of the art brings to mind classic fashion drawings in a way that complements the topic. By the end of the book, readers will be completely absorbed in the story of Dior's ultimately short career in fashion. Clara's story is also resolved in a way that lends a fairytale element to the book. At times it was difficult to separate fact from fiction, but even this minor issue was alleviated by Goetzinger's decision to include additional information at the end, including a timeline, glossary and bibliography.
This book will appeal to fans of fashion design and history as well as your traditional graphic novel fans, and would make a great suggestion for readers who do not normally think to read graphic novels. The Girl in Dior would be a strong addition to either a public library or academic library's collection.

And now, it's on to Heme/Neo (Hematology & Neoplasm) - what many other schools refer to as HemeOnc. This is stereotypically the hardest domain of the semester, and at four weeks long, I'm ready to believe it. The exam for this domain is slated at 3.5 hours long. That's a long exam, testing over a huge volume of information.
But enough about that for now. Today, Wife and I took the afternoon off, and it was glorious. We ordered a pizza and spent a few solid hours just chatting, playing with Hobbes, ordering a pizza (and having it delivered!), and watching some TV. We're currently back at it, getting stuff done, but it was a great way to relax after a stressful weekend of studying.
Hobbes is doing great, btw. Here's a photo of him from a couple weeks back:
|Note: It starts at 5 weeks of age, when he only weighed was 8lbs 0.1oz.
He's doing great in his training. Here's a video from a couple weeks ago (he was 3 months 2.5 weeks old or so at the time) of him showing off some tricks. He's even better now, but I've been too busy to make any new videos:
Secondtolastly, it has gotten too cold for my avocado plants that I started growing just before starting medical school, so I moved them inside with a grow light. We'll see how they do over the winter indoors:
Lastly, there's been absolutely no action on the ratmouse trap, so something tells me we were right before - there's a rat living in our sewer pipe. Not sure what to do about that...
Well, that about wraps it up, in a somewhat awkward ending to this rambletrocity of a post. Hah.

A Fail-fast First Test of MySQL Backup Integrity
This morning I was planning to check the integrity of a snapshot of a MySQL database that runs on EC2 using EBS, and I accidentally stumbled upon a fast way to quickly find certain types of problems with a backup.
My plan was to use
CHECK TABLE on all of the tables to verify the integrity of the backup. The simplest way to run
CHECK TABLES on an entire database is like this:
Rather than using that command, I decided to generate a bunch of individual
CHECK TABLE statements dynamically by running a query on the
information_schema.tables table. Why do it that way? It gives me the flexibility to check a specific schema first, or check the smallest or most frequently updated tables first, etc.
So I ran this command to generate my
CHECK TABLE script:
1 2 3 4 5
And I planned to execute the script like this:
However, when I ran the first query it crashed the MySQL server!
1 2 3 4 5 6
Of course that error message doesn't always mean that mysqld crashed. Sometimes it just means your session was killed. But in this case I checked, and mysqld did indeed crash.
It was a harmless crash since it was on a passive server, but it pointed out a problem with the backup so I had to find out exactly what went wrong so I could fix it.
I checked the error log and found the source of the crash:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
I've omitted the rest of the error output (including the backtrace) for brevity, but it's clear which table caused the problem:
After confirming that table is no longer needed I dropped it and re-ran the
information_schema query successfully so I could move on with the rest of my integrity check.
In the future I'll run a quick fail-fast test on
information_schema before doing the more time-consuming check of running
CHECK TABLE on all of the tables. I think this should be sufficient:
Of course I'll still run
CHECK TABLE on all of the tables, but the
information_schema test will help me find some problems faster.

Monta Ellis and Dwyane Wade will forever be equals, at least in Ellis' mind.
The Bucks point guard who, it should be noted, has helped Milwaukee play to the fifth-best record in the Eastern Conference, was asked to compare himself to the two-time champion Heat guard.
Ellis' response was classic.
The only difference between Wade and himself, Ellis said, "is more wins and two championship rings. That's it." As far as "playing" — a category that winning games and championships apparently don't belong to — "Monta Ellis has it all," he says.
Check out Ellis' self-evaluation in the video below.

Mad Dogs Hot Dogs hosted its grand opening at 100 N. Constitution Blvd. in Kutztown on Feb. 18. Northeast Berks Chamber of Commerce members helped Mad Dogs celebrate with a ribbon cutting out front of the hot dog shop.
Attendees enjoyed samples of hot dogs that featured movie-themed toppings. Menu items include movie titles such as Napoleon Dynamite, Gone With The Wind, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
"I like toppings and I like spicy food. I had Good Morning Vietnam and I loved it," said Northeast Berks Chamber Executive Director Lori Donofrio-Galley. "It's not a basic hot dog. You can have a basic hot dog. They also have vegetarian hot dogs. But I like the toppings."
Donofrio-Galley said Mad Dogs adds another place in Kutztown to eat.
"As you know, the college community is very interested in eateries and all different types of food. I think for the most part the other eateries specialize in pizza or certain kinds of sandwiches. This is specializing in hot dogs."
Donofrio-Galley noted that Mad Dogs is also involved in philanthropy and wants to support local non-profits, including Friend.
"We're pleased to add a new member to the Chamber and will continue to partner with them for the benefit of the community," said Donofrio-Galley.
Fleetwood residents Karin and Mark Crossley and their daughter Michaela, 18, said Mad Dogs is great.
"Great original flavors, very unique," said Karin.
"The Rocky dog so far has been really good," said Mark. "It's like a cheese steak and hot dog all in one. It's really good. Hopefully they do well. Totally unique hot dogs."
"I think it'll be a good place for the college students to come and hang out and it's a nice family atmosphere here, too," said Karin.
"It's definitely adding to Main Street," said Michaela.
Owners Melissa Casto and Chris Moyer opened Mad Dogs in January after buying Potts-U Hot Dogs, housed in the same location. The Macungie couple has worked in Kutztown in the past.
"We jumped on it. We thought it was a great opportunity and it's been a blessing so far," said Casto during the grand opening event while Moyer prepared hot dog dishes such as the Breakfast At Tiffany's dog topped with scrambled egg, smashed tater tots, bacon, and American cheese. "Me and Chris, we really enjoy being together and working together. It's just really been a good opportunity for us."
They hope to bring to the community another place for locals to eat, offering unique hot dog topping choices.
"Chris is amazing with his uniqueness of the menu. He did an excellent job. Chris has always been very creative with everything he's done. He's an excellent chef," said Casto.
They both have an affinity for movies.
"We're both big movie buffs," she said. "We watch a lot of movies in our spare time so we incorporated (movies) into the business. In every movie there's something to do with a hot dog or an inspiration for the burger of the week or the hot dog of the week."
Top dogs include the King Kong with two grilled dogs, French fries, cheese sauce, bacon, and chili sauce. Napoleon Dynamite is a grilled dog topped with tater tots, bacon, cheese sauce, and Mad Dog sauce. Rocky is a grilled dog with chopped rib-eye steak, caramelized onion, and wit wiz.
"The Wall Street is the biggest," said Casto, naming one of the more popular choices.
The Wall Street is a grilled dog topped with homemade chili sauce, spicy brown mustard, and raw onion.
"We're always about the community," said Casto who hopes to volunteer at local organizations in the near future.
Mad Dogs held a fundraiser for Friend Inc., Dine to Donate on Feb. 23 and during the grand opening baskets were raffled off to benefit animals at the Sanctuary at Haafsville.
"I love Kutztown. It's such a local feel. It's a very good community," said Casto. "Kutztown has really blessed us. It has such a good hometown feel here. I really like it."

Cinco de Mayo is coming up and while I love Mexican food, it's needless to say that I don't eat it very often because of all the tummy-upsetting tomatoes, peppers and spices. However, I do like a good taco every now and then. I came up with my own low-FODMAP taco seasoning that works for both chicken and beef. See my recipe at the bottom of this post!
The slow cooker works great for making chicken tacos. The low, slow method makes the chicken so tender and easy to shred. This recipe for Crock Pot Chicken Taco Meat from Food.com calls for chicken breasts, but I think next time I will try chicken thighs. I find that they tend to stay more moist in the slow cooker.
I talked about chili powder in my Grilled Mexican Lime Chicken blog last week, how to be sure to get ancho chili powder without any onion and garlic to keep it low-FODMAP. This is assuming that you can tolerate chili powder of course. So far I think I can tolerate chili powder in small to moderate amounts, like this recipe. (I found plain ancho pepper in a packet in the produce department. You may have to consult with a grocery store clerk to locate its whereabouts.) Salt, pepper, cumin and oregano round out the seasonings. Instead of onion, I used dried chives to add onion flavor. You could also add just the green parts of green onions to your meat while it cooks to add some more onion flavor.
Taco Shell and Wrap Options
Gluten-Free and Low-FODMAP ideas for taco shells abound. You can serve tacos on 100% corn tortillas, hard or soft. There are also a number of gluten-free soft tortillas. I've tried La Tortilla Ivory Teff Wraps and they are very good (warning - La Tortilla Ivory Teff Wraps contain honey - not for the elimination phase of the diet). Personally, I have been eating taco salads. Just a bed of romaine lettuce topped with the meat and toppings. I'm not eating dairy right now, but I usually eat my taco salad with shredded cheddar, a small dollop of sour cream, olives and a little fresh diced tomatoes. You could also serve the meat on rice. Or you could use big lettuce leaves as the taco shell. There are a lot of possibilities, so have fun experimenting!
serves 8
- Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot. Combine the taco seasoning and chicken broth and pour over top of the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
- Shred chicken with two forks and serve in the flavorful juices if desired.
- See my ideas above for how to serve this meat.
Low-FODMAP, Gluten-Free
makes 4 tablespoons total
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
To make beef tacos, brown 1 lb. ground beef and drain grease. Add 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mix and 3/4 cup water. Simmer until thickened and bubbly. Ground chicken or turkey may be used instead. For a richer flavor, try using my Low-FODMAP Beef Broth instead of water.
This seasoning mix recipe can be easily multiplied and stored in an airtight container. Just measure out 2 tablespoons of the mix per one pound of meat!
* Make sure the chili powder does not contain garlic or onion. I have found pure ancho chili powder at Target in the Archer Farms brand. Some people are sensitive to spicy foods, so use only as tolerated. Paprika is a good alternative to chili powder in this recipe if you are unable to tolerate or find pure chili powder.
Update 5/4/14: I apologize, I had the proportions of my meat to seasonings mixed up. One recipe of seasoning mix is enough to make 2 lbs. of ground beef tacos. Sorry if there was any inconvenience!
Update 1/12/16: Note added about ancho chili powder.
Update 5/4/16: Chili powder was recently tested by Monash and is low in FODMAPs for a one- teaspoon serving size.

Poisonous are a band from Brazil that plays a very heavy, dark and evil form of early 90's style death metal and this is a review of their 201o album "Perdition's Den" which was originally released by Blood Harvest then re-issued by Metalhit.com in 2012 which was released by Metalhit.com.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown into the music, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars, as for the synths which are only utilized briefly they bring a very dark and ritualistic sound to the music.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast death metal riffs that are very dark, raw and primitive sounding the the mid 80's and early 90's tradition, while the lead guitars are very dark and primitive sounding old school death metal guitar leads.
Vocals are all deep demonic death metal growls as well as a brief use of spoken word ritualistic passages, while the lyrics cover dark, anti christian and occult themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound with the band going for more of the classic death metal sound instead of the more modern day technical approach.
In my opinion Poisonous are a very great sounding evil old school style death metal band and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Worthless Christ" "Demons" "Under The Blessing Of Death" and "The Black Vomit" which is a Sarcofago cover. RECOMMENDED BUY.

Two Christmas proposals for Coronation Street
- Bang Showbiz
- 15 December 2015
'Coronation Street' is set for two marriage proposals this Christmas as Tyrone proposes to Fiz and Tracy's former husband Robert pops the question
'Coronation Street' will feature two festive marriage proposals.
Mechanic Tyrone Dobbs is set to get down on one knee to pop the question to his partner Fiz Brown while Robert Preston will ask his ex-wife Tracy Barlow to marry him again.
Actor Les Dennis, who plays Michael Rodwell, told ITV's 'This Morning' about Tyrone's proposal: "There won't be a dry eye in the house. I think everybody will be watching and loving it. It's so moving... "
Alan Halsall (Tyrone) added: "It's a very very romantic setting, so Tyrone does the right thing and gets down on one knee..."
However, he revealed that Jennie McAlpine (Fiz) forgot about Tyrone's first proposal and she admitted: "I did, I forgot he proposed on a white horse."
Alan protested: "How can you forget I rode a white horse up and down white cobbles?!"
Meanwhile, Tracy is set to be torn between two Robs, her former husband Robert and ex -fiance Rob Donovan, who is currently in prison.
Kate Ford, who plays Tracy, told Radio Times: "She's tidying up around the house and she finds a box with a ring in it. She's totally shocked, but it's a beautiful ring and she thinks, 'yay he's going to propose'. But then half of her is torn over Rob.
"She's in conflict because Rob's mentioned that he might get released from prison, so the shine is taken off it in a way, because she's thinking she can't accept his proposal until she knows what's going on with Rob."

Absolutely the Muslim women who saved non-Muslims from a terrorist attack are heroes! Why wouldn't they be? Anyone who saves lives is someone I would consider to be a hero. The religious preference of either the person who did the saving or the people who were saved really should have no relevance on whether or not the person should be considered a hero.
In my opinion, it matters not what religious affiliation these women are, but rather, their willingness to recognize that humanity as a collective, is related and worth saving. I agree that these women are heroes for their willingness to put their own lives on the line to save other human beings who may or may not practice their cultural upbringing.
Anyone who saves anyone else from death or injury is a hero. Why even bring race or religion into this? The question should be: Are the women who saved those people from a terrorist attack heroes? The answer is yes. The fact you had to bring religion into it shows how closed minded some people are.
The Muslim women who saved non-Muslims from a terrorist attack are definitely heroes. Anyone who is willing to save other people should be considered a hero. It should not matter if the person who saves the other person is Muslim or Christian. We should recognize heroic acts as heroic acts.

About The Dubliner
The Dubliner's owners don't beat around the bush; they declare their Irish allegiance loud and proud with their pub's very name, which appears on a shamrock-bedecked sign. They whip up classic bangers and mash or shepherd's pie to be enjoyed alongside an eternally-on-tap Guinness or Harp. Their rotating taps, however, feature some local, seasonal brews such as the Fremont Pale Ale or Elysian's Immortal IPA. The menu, too, diverges from strictly Emerald Isle eats with bacon-wrapped bratwursts and edemame appetizers.
While dining on a fusion of Irish and American cuisine, six televisions keep the eyes occupied. A single pool table—free to use on Sundays—settles contests of skill or provides a stage for reenactments of Riverdance. On Tuesdays, Miss Brittany hosts a karaoke night, followed by Wednesday's trivia challenges with Geeks Who Drink. Weekends occasionally give way to the live musical stylings of local bands.

Jason Isaacs' mid-scene sleep
- Bang Showbiz
- 14 April 2017
Jason Isaacs was overcome with jet lag and accidentally fell asleep mid-scene while shooting 'Red Dog: True Blue'
Jason Isaacs accidentally fell asleep mid-scene while shooting 'Red Dog: True Blue'.
The 53-year-old actor is a "terrible insomniac" who finds it impossible to nap, but was hit hard by jet lag when he flew to Australia to shoot the family comedy.
He said: "I never go for a nap. I wish I could. I'm a terrible insomniac.
"But I have fallen asleep in a scene.
"In fact, on 'Red Dog', I had just got to Australia from England, and we had a scene in which I'm watching the original 'Red Dog' with the kids.
"There was a long tracking shot, and when they got to the end they thought I was taking a very long, dramatic, pause. And then they all realised I was fast asleep."
Jason - who has daughters Lilly and Ruby with partner Emma Hewitt - also tries to get mobile phone use incorporated into his scenes because he hates being parted with his device for any length of time.
He said: "I try to make sure my character uses my phone.
"I'm always going, 'Well, maybe he'd use this phone' so I can have it there.
"I'm a 'Words With Friends' addict and I FaceTime my kids.
"I'm mostly way, so I want to be available whenever they can deign to spare me eight seconds to ask me where something is in the house."
And the 'Harry Potter' star admits he hates shopping for clothes so much, his wardrobe mainly consists of his old costumes.
He told Total Film magazine: "I don't like to shop for clothes. I only wear things characters have worn before, that they tell me I can take home at the end of a shoot.
"It's just because I don't like to shop for clothes. At the end, I go, 'Can I have those jeans? Because they fit me.' "

President Jeffrey Lyon Will Lead Panel of Experts Live at HostingCon; DDoS Protection and Mitigation Will Drive Discussion for Practical Defense Strategies
President Jeffrey Lyon Will Lead Panel of Experts Live at HostingCon; DDoS Protection and Mitigation Will Drive Discussion for Practical Defense Strategies
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 8, 2012) - Black Lotus, a leader in availability security and provider of distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection, today announced that its president, Jeffrey Lyon, will moderate a DDoS panel discussion at HostingCon 2012 in Boston, Mass. on July 17th, 2012. Experts from Arbor Networks, CloudFlare and NSFOCUS will participate in the panel to share DDoS attack vectors and practical defense strategies that can be employed by any company.
The session, "Technology Strategies and Practices for Defending Against DDoS Attacks," will be community driven, allowing attendees to submit discussion inputs and questions on Facebook. This panel will address the mainstream occurrence of DDoS attacks, a problem once considered exclusive to criminal enterprises and online gaming. Experts will prepare the common web host to deal with DDoS threats, offering pragmatic strategies for hosts to protect themselves and customers against denial of service attacks. The panel will include:
"This DDoS mitigation panel is unique in its discussion of the trends and strategies affecting hosting companies, as opposed to focusing on a single company or technology," said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of CloudFlare. "The HostingCon panel will be an opportunity to hear insider perspectives on availability security and protection against denial of service attacks."
"Hosting providers often have a higher risk of DDoS attacks than other online businesses because, in effect, they aggregate the risk of all their customers," stated Carlos Morales, vice president of global sales engineering and operations at Arbor Networks. "An attack on one customer can affect others and potentially the entire hosting operation because of the heavy reliance on shared infrastructure. The overall impact of a DDoS attack is a function of the time it takes to detect the attack, the time needed to mitigate it and the extent of service degradation both before and after mitigation."
HostingCon 2012 is the leading conference and trade show for the hosted services and internet infrastructure industry, held this year on July 16-18 at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center in Boston, Mass. This year, attendees for HostingCon are expected to exceed 2,000 professionals.
Attendees can meet the Black Lotus team to learn more about the recently announced integration of the patent-pending Human Behavior Analysis (HBA) technology from Black Lotus with the NSFOCUS ADS DDoS mitigation system. Black Lotus's HBA is engineered to determine whether a single visit to a website is a real person or part of a botnet attack. The Black Lotus solution can identify when abnormal spikes in traffic are organic in nature, or the result of DDoS. In the event of a malicious attack, traffic is temporarily blocked, protecting the web host and its customers.
"This year's show is going to be absolutely incredible," stated Jeffrey Lyon, President & CEO at Black Lotus Communications. "We're looking forward to a historical event which, for the first time ever, brings numerous DDoS mitigation professionals under a single roof to talk about practical DDoS protection solutions that can be employed by any hosting provider."
About Black Lotus Communications
Black Lotus Communications is a Los Angeles, California based security innovator which pioneered the first commercially viable DDoS mitigation solutions in 1999, weeks after the first known DDoS attacks. These advanced solutions enhance the security posture of SMB and Enterprise clients while reducing capital expenditures, managing risk, ensuring compliance, and improving earnings and retention. Breakthrough developments at Black Lotus include the world's first DDoS protected hosting network, the first IPv6 DDoS mitigation environment, and the first highly effective Layer 7 attack mitigation strategy.

On Tuesday I took an early morning train to Nagasaki from Fukuoka -- a two hour trip on the Komome Limited Express -- with only the vaguest plan, other than to explore the roots of western trade with Japan. The Portuguese got things rolling in the late 1500s but some 60 years later trade had become a Dutch monopoly when the Tokugawa Shogunate closed the country to foreigners, save for a tightly controlled portal on an artificial Island about 125 by 80 meters. Between these dates it would appear the Jesuits insinuated themselves sufficiently well in Nagasaki to effect the conversion of a number of important Daimyos, and for a time, Nagasaki came under their (the Jesuit's) administration. Apparently, they left with the Portuguese as the Japanese became ever more leery of foreign influence. Christianity remains, however. One of the churches in Nagasaki is a designated National Treasure, and another, once the largest in East Asia, was destroyed in the atomic blast of 1945.
The small crescent-shaped Island of Dejima (pronounced deh she muh, no accent) became a high-rent prison for the un-trusted but irresistible Dutch traders. The "sea gate" at one end had two portals -- one for imports, the other for exports, and the ever-guarded "land gate" at the center of the concave curve, restricted the ingress of Japanese and egress of the Dutch. Talk about Island fever....
The Thousand Autumns of Jakob DeGroet is a recent and engaging historical fiction about life in Dejima, and provided the impetus for my visit. I am confused by my memory of the details of the book, and their inconsistency with the history of the enclave as I now know it (a most superficial knowledge, to be sure). In any case, it was a good enough read to motivate me to visit Nagasaki.
The tourist information desk at the train station provided an English language map, and happily the majority of the points of interest are strung along a trolley line that runs along the backbone of the city. It wasn't Dejima that drew my first attentions when I arrived, though. I found myself drawn to the Atom Bomb Museum, and of course, to stand at the point that some 26,000 days ago was the embodiment of hell on earth.
I am happy to leave to others the parsing of morality in the events that led to the bombing and the results. The calculus of irony prevails. Nagasaki was a secondary target, clouds and haze having obscured (and saved) Kokura, the first choice. Kyoto was taken off the short list due to religious reasons (talk about irony!). Existing bomb shelters in Nagasaki would have averted many of the casualties, but people had become blase about air raids. The blast destroyed the largest church in East Asia. Survivors were sometimes shunned and ridiculed by their own citizenry, and many took their own lives for it. The entries go on and on and on, but the litany (for me) gives rise more to numbness than grief. The exhibits don't... cannot... bring home the enormity of the event, nor does this ungraspable cataclysm give purchase to the larger context that spawned it. For me, the crux of the experience was seeing the exuberance of school kids at the museum on a field trip. When will we ever learn? The answer is pretty evident, museums notwithstanding.
A broken bell from the Urakami Cathedral, destroyed in the blast.

CLAIM: The president says he will veto any legislation that contains earmarks.
- "[B]ecause the American people deserve to know that special interests aren't larding up legislation with pet projects, both parties in Congress should know this: if a bill comes to my desk with earmarks inside, I will veto it." (President Obama, State of the Union Address, January 25, 2011)
FACT: Republicans have already adopted a ban on earmarks; will President Obama finally urge Senate Democrats to do the same?
- On November 18, 2010, House Republicans unanimously adopted a measure by freshman Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) to ban earmarks for the 112th Congress. Senate Republicans voluntarily adopted a similar ban on earmarks.
- President Obama has said we can't afford "wasteful earmark spending… during these tough economic times" – despite having repeatedly signed into law Democratic bills loaded with thousands of earmarks.
- According to Politico, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid "told reporters that we have a 'constitutional duty to dole out congressionally-directed spending'."
- The Heritage Foundation explained that "earmarks are often used to buy votes" for more government spending and other job-destroying policies.
KEEPING THE PLEDGE: In the Pledge to America, the new majority promised to "curb Washington's spending habits" and fundamentally change the way Congress spends taxpayer dollars to help end the job-crushing spending binge and eliminate some of the uncertainty facing job creators.
- After Republicans adopted the full ban on earmarks, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said, "This earmark ban shows the American people we are listening and we are dead serious about ending business as usual in Washington. … We hope President Obama will follow through on his support for an earmark ban by pressing Democratic leaders to join House and Senate Republicans in taking this critical step to restore public trust."

A person is considered matt'in it when they refuse to put a shirt on, even after being asked by a large group of people. During the shirtless time period, the person may perform physical exercises in the middle of a room such as sit-ups or push-ups and say that they have to get their work out in. Said person does not have to be fat, and is often very skinny.

You are right. Cosmopolitan is a nice fragrance for many products. Maybe try the vanilla stabilizer next time.

Ask any adviser about whether they deal with insistent clients, and more often than not you get a categorical "no". Bodies such as the Personal Finance Society have made their stance clear, in that the future risk of liability is just too great.
The debate is loaded, but the picture is a more nuanced one than the commentary might suggest. Just because firms are saying no to insistent clients, does not mean they are saying no to final salary pension transfers. In fact, defined benefit to defined contribution transfer business is being written at a record rate, and when you factor in not just the transactions but the level of enquiries, it is clear demand for DB transfers is sky high.
Members of DB schemes have heard what pension freedoms have to offer, and they want a piece of it for themselves. The flexibility is a big pull factor here, but the enticing transfer values currently on offer are also holding sway.
Headlines about the poor pensions prospects for BHS and Tata Steel do not help to instill public confidence in the pensions system, and all of this fans the flames for demand to transfer out of DB schemes.
From speaking to advisers at our recent Money Marketing In Focus regional events, it is clear there are some very competent advisers recommending DB transfers, who are backed by a robust advice process.
But separately, advisers have also raised concerns about how the pension transfer market is working. Firms charging £40,000 to carry out a transfer for example, or charging only at the point of transfer.
There are two opposite problems facing the pension transfer market at the moment, strangely with both happening at the same time.
There are firms who will not touch DB transfers with a bargepole, even if suitable advice would be to transfer. At the other end of the spectrum, the demand for pension transfers is such that, if not done right, we risk building up problems for the future.
Increasingly, advisers are being urged to consider the rationale for carrying out transfers, rather than assuming a position of blanket rejection. As the critical yield figure becomes less relevant, advisers and providers want greater regulatory assurances on this complex area of the market.
Judging from the conversations I have had with advisers, the debate around DB transfers looks set to run and run.

As a small-business owner, mother of four children and a wife of 15 years, one of the questions I often hear is, "how do you keep it all together?"
In short, how am I able to balance the important demands of Airfoil's business with my equally important responsibilities at home?
It's a good question – one that's been a popular storyline, blog and news subject in recent weeks – including this excellent post from PRBreakfastClub that really hits the nail on the head for me.
The simple answer is I do my very best.
The better answer is I make choices every day.
Some days, this means I am "on" 24/7 because that is what my clients and our business demands. Other days, I choose to be a wife/mother first.
At the end of the day, it's my choice … and I am accountable for it.
[Full disclosure: I don't always make the right call. I make what I believe is the right decision, assume responsibility, and move on.]
Frankly, I agree with the PRBreakfastClub author and his stance that all of this chatter about work/life balance is nonsense.
Seems like a lot of people are holding out for some Zen-like work/personal state of being. I wish them luck. It's going to be a very long wait!
Ultimately, it comes down to this – finding what works best for you and your business, and doing whatever you have to do in order to be successful with both.
The choice is yours to make.
-- Janet Tyler

text: I infrequently read the forum now, have been well before I even had an account, and have slowly started to creep back in after a month or so cool down. The group of people using the forum is the same, with a few ad ins here and there, and you can always tell when someone is banned and than they come back because there is a shit fire storm. But this is not what I came here for. Is there the possibility to "hire" or even just allow access with some sort of mutual benefit for some of the trusted, frequent, members to have limited moderator controls too: CLOSE THREADS OR DELETE THREADS (maybe just close until a real moderator can look it over, some of these are just getting out of hand: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/craigslist-other-classified-ads-sites/181894-pva-script-look.html) TEMPORARY BAN USERS (do not allow permanent bans, but allow limited mods to temp ban people and report them to higher up, people who are banned keep coming back: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/shit-list/181547-jstover77-john-stover-dont-deal-guy.html) Its just getting out of hand a bit and info is getting lost in translation because of the amount of BS circulating around BHW. Thoughts from members and Mods on limited Mod positions?

I recently read an interesting study about the effect of different types of music on kenneled dogs. ("Behavioral effect of auditory stimulation on kenneled dogs," by Kogan, Schoenfeld-Tacher & Simon, J of Veterinary Behavior 7, 2012, 268-275.) The authors' goal was to determine if different types of music, as has been reported in other species, had different types of effects on dogs, and the results indeed confirmed that this was true. The results suggested that 1) "classical music" increases the amount of time the dogs spent sleeping, and 2) "heavy metal" music increased body shaking (or trembling). Surprisingly however, "psychoacoustically designed" music, a piano piece specifically designed to calm dogs, resulted in no statistically significant change in behavior from Read More
Thunder Phobia and Your Dog: Good Sounds, Bad Sounds
5 AM. I wake up to Lassie's nails clicking on the floor (wasn't I going to trim them last night?) as a boom of thunder shakes the farmhouse. Damn. Why is it that Lassie's slight discomfort of storms has become more serious as her hearing degrades? Surely it should go the other way around.We pad downstairs and lay down together on the carpet, she spooning against me as I stroked her head. (And no, it won't make her more afraid of storms.... check out my column coming out in Bark magazine soon.) "Eaa-a-a-a-a-a-a-sy" I crooned, using my voice to help her calm herself. Why didn't I bring the CD home from "Through a Dog's Ear," a new and fantastic book about the effect of sound on dogs? The CD has music designed by the authors to calm dogs, and both it and the book are invaluable Read More

VERO BEACH -- Baldingers to their left. Baldingers to their right. Baldingers everywhere the Dolphins go.
This is the third straight week Miami is playing one of the brothers Baldinger.
They got nose tackle Gary, 26, when they played Buffalo. Then, guard Brian, 32, of Indianapolis, last Sunday. This Saturday, it`s tackle Rich, 31, of Kansas City, in the AFC wild-card game.
``I guess I`ll have to call my brother Brian and get some inside tips on the Dolphins,`` Rich said jokingly Wednesday.
That might be tough. Brian, the only one of the Baldingers out of the playoffs, is vacationing in Cancun, Mexico.
``When you think about it, it`s pretty remarkable,`` said Rich. ``Three brothers in the NFL at the same time. There have been lots of twos, but I don`t know that there ever were three brothers.``
Rich and Gary might confront each other as early as next week. If the Chiefs beat the Dolphins and Cincinnati defeats Houston this weekend, Kansas City would play in Buffalo.
``Gary used to be with the Chiefs,`` said Rich. ``We`ve hit each other in practice, but never in a real game. We might have to wink to let each other know which way the offense and defense is moving.``
-- Chiefs wide receiver Todd McNair lived so close to Dolphins linebacker David Griggs when they were children in Pennsauken, N.J., ``I could hit his house with a stone from my place.``
Although they aren`t related by family, they call each other cousin and played football together in the streets and in high school.

Self-defense umbrella given out to women in India
Married women, living alone in India, risk being attacked when they go to collect remittances from their husbands who work abroad. Vodafone will send "self-defense umbrellas" to recipients of money sent with their M-Pesa mobile money transfer service. It comes with pictorial references of self-defense techniques and how they can be used to fight off an attacker.
Seriously, how helpful is this? Surely there must be a better way of protecting women than pictures on an umbrella.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has granted the Texas Physics Consortium, a group of Texas Physics Departments, permission to offer a joint BS degree in physics. The Consortium, consisting of Midwestern State University, Prairie View A&M University, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, Tarleton State University, Texas Southern University, West Texas A&M University, Texas A&M University-Commerce, and Texas A&M University-Central Texas, was formed in 2011-12 in response to the Coordinating Board's decision to close undergraduate degree programs with fewer than five graduates per year (averaged over three years). The Consortium will pool faculty expertise and institutional resources to provide access to quality upper-level undergraduate and graduate physics courses while maintaining the intimate student-faculty interaction of a small department. The Consortium members attended the AAPT SPIN-UP Regional Workshop in Austin, TX in May 2012 (funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation), where they developed strategic plans for enhancing their undergraduate programs. The national AAPT office worked with the Texas Sections of APS and AAPT to build support for the Consortium's plans. The Consortium's program will become the third largest producer of B.S. Physics Graduates in Texas. Read more.

Physlet Physics contains a collection of exercises spanning the introductory physics sequence. These exercises use computer animations generated in Java applets to show physics content. We call these Java applets Physlets (Physics content simulated with Java applets). The second edition to Physlet Physics represents a major change in how the 800 Physlet-based interactive materials are delivered to teachers and students alike. Instead of accessing materials off of the CD that came with the first edition, now users simply access the Physlet Physics 2E ComPADRE site at http://compadre.org/Physlets. This new edition is compatible with Java 6 and 7 and offers improved speed and security. This new partnership with ComPADRE also allows us to update materials and therefore provide the best materials to teachers and students. Housing the material on ComPADRE also lowers the barrier for adoption, since these materials are now available under a Creative Commons open source license.
