Since its inception, code and state sharing has been a key component of Windows. In the early days, primarily, it was also a requirement, as Microsoft's engineers fought to overcome the limited memory and disk space found on early PCs. In fact, Microsoft's first two versions of Windows were tuned to run on floppy-based systems; it wasn't until Windows 3.0 in 1990 that hard drives started to become a de facto component of a Windows system. It's somewhat ironic, given the size and complexity of today's Windows, to consider that the original design of this operating system was inherently thrifty with system resources. And to combat the relatively tiny amount of disk space that would likely be available, the early designers of Windows invented DLLs, or dynamic link libraries, which are files that simply contain code that can be shared between multiple applications and the operating system, simultaneously, so that this code wouldn't need to exist on the system in numerous locations.
DLLs were a good idea for the time. But as Windows grew in complexity and size, DLLs started to wear out their welcome and have increasingly become a key source of system instability. The problem has to do with version conflicts: Each DLL is updated with new functionality over time, with newer versions providing (hopefully) a superset of the functionality of earlier versions. To ensure that their applications have the correct versions of DLLs, software developers would ship these DLLs with their applications and install them on a system when the application was installed. Properly written applications will, of course, check to ensure that they are not overwriting a newer version, but this doesn't always happen and, perhaps more disconcertingly, newer versions of DLLs aren't always completely backwards compatible with earlier versions. <% ' Added so can inventory as Connected Home articles. kw = "CH" %>
The end result to this mess is "DLL hell," a condition all Windows users are familiar with though they might not no it by name: You install an application that causes Windows not to boot, perhaps, or a previously working application suddenly refuses to run. Microsoft acknowledges the problem and has been working to fix it since Windows 3.1, but with the runaway success of 32-bit versions of Windows such as Windows 9x and NT/2000, and the complexity that these systems bring to the table, DLL hell has only gotten worse over the years.
Today, the fragility of a Windows system can be tied directly to problems associated with DLL hell and the fact that Windows systems are inherently complex at the code level. But DLL hell isn't the only issue, though it's a convenient name for a boogeyman we all know and understand. Sharing at other levels--such as COM objects and device drivers--also contributes to the underlying fragility of Windows. Internally, Microsoft describes the problem like so:
DLL Hell is not just about DLLs. It?s about sharing. It?s about sharing code in the form of DLLs, COM objects, device drivers. It?s about sharing state in the form of the registry or ad-hoc stores built on top of the file-system. It?s about the complexity of a system that shares almost everything and can?t truly be tested the way that we used to test it. It?s about a market that leaves little for second place products and forces companies to ship as rapidly as possible, before complexity is understood and before problems can be found and fixed. . Sharing is the glue that binds the various dimensions of complexity together. We need to make it possible to selectively break the bonds.
After almost a decade of study, Microsoft has come to the conclusion that sharing is a double-edged sword, with benefits and associated problems that are difficult to reconcile. And though it might be easier to simply fix this problem in tandem with a future platform shift, the problem is severe enough that customers need a fix now, on the current Windows platform. So the company began implementing a series of technologies, over time, that addresses this problem. And those technologies are lumped under the name "Fusion," an internal code-name that Microsoft has never publicly discussed. What's amazing about this technology is that we've already seen three basic examples that were developed under the Fusion umbrella, it's just that we didn't understand that that's what they were. But for Fusion, as Microsoft likes to say, the best is yet to come, and future versions of Fusion may actually solve the DLL hell problem once and for all. But before we get to that, let's take a look at the evolution of Fusion and see where it's taken us so far.
Fusion 1.0: Side-by-side DLLs and Windows File Protection
The first Fusion technology that saw the light of day is "side-by-side DLLs," which debuted with Windows 98 Second Edition in mid-1999. This essentially allows an applications developer to rename system DLLs and make them available in a separate, private location. For example, a developer may need a particular version of COMCTL32.DLL, which typically exists in the SYSTEM or SYSTEM32 folder of a 32-bit Windows system. Rather than replace the version of this DLL that's found in Windows, and foist potential incompatibilities on other applications or even Windows itself, the developer could simply rename the correct version of this DLL and provide it somewhere under the directory structure created to house his application. Then, when the application needed the services of the DLL, it would call the private version. But the operating system and other applications could continue to use the "public" version and there wouldn't be any conflicts.
This is a decent solution to the problem, with one major caveat: It's optional, and the applications developer must manually provide this feature. Still, this itself wouldn't be a kiss of death but for one other issue: It only works on Windows 98 SE (not 95 or the original version of 98) or newer (and on Windows 2000 or newer, but not NT). So anyone implementing this feature would be ignoring the vast majority of the market, as most Windows users aren't yet using the latest and greatest versions. Of course developers could opt to include this feature on systems that were running 98 SE or newer and simply behave normally on legacy Windows systems, but that's a lot of extra work for a relatively small segment of the user base. And it ignores the very basic fact that DLL hell is a problem with Windows and something that should logically be fixed by Microsoft, not by third-party software developers on an application-by-application basis.
In Windows 2000, Microsoft released a second technology that might be considered part of Fusion 1.0, Windows File Protection (WFP). In Windows 2000, Windows File Protection prevents the replacement of protected system files (Specifically, certain .sys, .dll, .ocx, .ttf, .fon, and .exe files) by errant applications. So it's impossible for a poorly written application to install an older version of a key system file on Windows 2000. However, service packs, hot fixes, Windows Update, and other operating system updates can overwrite key system files with newer versions. This feature was also made available in Windows Millennium Edition ("Windows Me"), where it is known as System File Protection (SFP).
Windows File Protection is a good feature and it does work to increase reliability and stability on the Windows 2000 platform. But Windows File Protection does so at the risk of breaking application compatibility: There are numerous instances of newer DLLs not working with older applications that expect a different version. This was a conscious trade-off, of course, and one that Microsoft was quite open about during the development of Windows 2000. But many applications simply won't run on Windows 2000 until they are upgraded to work with the updated DLLs and other system files that are found on that OS. And WFP has another liability: Microsoft has given away the "keys" to WFP by supporting something called "exception packs" so that updated DLLs that are installed on an NT 4.0 system which has been upgraded to Windows 2000 can be migrated to the new OS. This means that a system upgraded to Windows 2000 may be inherently broken from day one, despite WFP.
Going forward, Microsoft wants to create an environment in which legacy applications will continue to install and run correctly, while providing a more elegant platform for new applications that will adhere to new installation and co-existence guidelines. Future versions of Fusion enable just this.
Fusion 2.0: Protecting the Server
First up is Fusion 2.0, technologies that will first be made available with Visual Studio 7 and COM+ 2.0 (both expected in. Q1 2001). And as you might expect, given the products with which this technology will become available, Fusion 2.0 will deal largely with protecting COM+ 2.0 components, on both Web browser clients and the server, from each other, and with protecting the operating system from these COM+ components. Microsoft shipped COM+ 1.0 with Windows 2000 in early 2000; COM+ 2.0 will be available as an add-on to Windows 2000 and it will also ship with Whistler, the follow-up to Windows 2000 due in the first half of 2001. Improvements in this release are geared largely toward Web servers.
Fusion 2.5: Protecting Consumers
Later in 2001, Microsoft will ship its Fusion 2.5 technologies in "Whistler," the follow-up to Windows 2000. Whistler is what Microsoft calls a "Fusion-enabled componentized OS that will provide device driver and OS install/update reliability." With the release of Fusion 2.5 in Whistler, Microsoft will support protected and isolated COM+ 2.0, COM classic, and Win32 components. The focus with this release will be consumer needs, and it's expected that Whistler will usher in a more transparent form of protection for components, including legacy components that don't know about the presence of the feature.
How Fusion works
To counter the problematic side effects of sharing, Microsoft will use Fusion technologies to introduce isolation to Windows. Applications and components, for example, which were written with the assumption that they would share system resources, will automatically be isolated from the rest of the system transparently. That is, they will install as normal, and to the user, nothing changes. But the OS will actually be copying the shared DLLs and other files that the application installs into a private location, so that the application will "think" that it is running normally, as it would on a legacy Windows system. But on Whistler, that application will really be running in a psuedo-clean virtual machine, one in which it is the only installed application. It will be unable to break other applications or the OS.
For new applications, the picture is even brighter. Application installation, maintenance, and removal will be simpler and largely automatic. For the user, setup, concepts like drives and directories, and reboots because of application install will disappear. New installs won't break other applications or the OS, something that will be equally important in the new service-based application model that Microsoft is pushing with Next Generation Windows Services (NGWS). When Whistler is updated with new features and bug fixes, these changes to the system will be safe and incremental. And though this is still up in the air, these features are technically possible to implement on existing Win32 platforms, so there's a chance that Microsoft will retroactively add some Fusion 2.5 technologies to Windows 2000 or even Windows Me. I won't be holding my breath, of course.
To describe the physical makeup, exposed entry points, and dependencies of an application or component, Microsoft is introducing the concept of a manifest that will make these bits self-documenting to the underlying OS. So the manifest is a blueprint, or database, that describes the application or component. This information, which is typically lost during today's installation phase, will be stored by the system to ensure that the application or components always executes correctly. For example, when an application requires a particular version of a dependency (typically a DLL), the system will ensure that the application always uses that version of the DLL when it runs. So an application (or component) will always run in a known correct state. The manifest provides a number of other benefits, however. Setup will be simplified and the system can proactively cache code on demand and delete code that is never used. And the repair of broken applications will be dramatically simplified because the system will always know what the application needs to run correctly.
Incidentally, Microsoft is going to use XML to represent its application manifests. A working group within the company made up of members of the Fusion, IE, COM+, IIS and WBEM teams is currently determining the structure of the manifest and the way that this information will be made available. For example, one question regards the physical location of an application's manifest: Should it somehow be incorporated in binary form into the application's executable file? Or should it be entered into the Registry or other disk-based database?
Windows is fragile today largely because of the code and state sharing features that are fundamental to the architecture of the OS. Microsoft is working to solve this problem by adding code and state isolation to the underlying operating system in a form that will work with legacy applications as well as new applications that have a better understanding of this feature. So in Whistler, sharing will become the exception rather than the default, as it's been in Windows since 1985. Features such as self-repair and self-diagnosis, provided by a new manifest feature, will enable applications, and thus Windows itself, to be more reliable. And installation and maintenance will be much simpler as a welcome side benefit of this new architecture. So, with apologies to Sun Microsystems, Whistler will enable applications that run once to run forever.

Tasha and Mike were very knowledgable and so great to work with during the entire process. Very easy to get along with and work with. I always felt like she was going to do all she could for me as a customer.
The staff took the time to explain every step of the home buying process. Tasha was very helpful and took her time explaining the home buying process.
Over all, we were satisfied with the outcome. Tasha worked really hard for over come some difficult situations on my behalf. It was comforting to know I had someone on my side to help make this happen.
Hey Kelsi, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the time and hard work you and your team did on setting up my loan. You did a really great job of not only making the process painless but super fast as well. Without your help I'm fairly certain that my purchase would not have went so smoothly. I have been in the house for a few weeks now and absolutely love it! I never realized how fulfilling home ownership is. Its great to come home and pull into your own driveway knowing that this is not only your home, but a sound investment as well. I truly hope to have the pleasure of doing business with you again. I will most definitely be recommending you to anyone I know that is looking for a home loan in this area. The amount of professionalism and great communication you provided were priceless. Please pass this letter along to your branch managers, They need to know what a great asset you are to Primary Residential Mortgage.
Best wishes to you and your team!
Oh my!!!! Just as Eric had described, your team and you are awesome. Thank you!!!!!
Tasha made a complicated loan process very simple and went above and beyond to get me into my home. She kept me constantly informed on the progress, and was very timely and responsive. With something as important and difficult to navigate as a home loan, I wouldn't depend on or trust anyone else to look out for my best interests. Tasha's experience and honesty is irreplaceable. I think sometimes as borrowers we forget how much effort goes into the process behind the scenes. I'm very grateful, and will definitely refer some business to Tasha to show my appreciation.
I am thrilled with our home & I know we would not be here now had it not been for Mike Purkey helping us through everything. We got an awesome rate & closed in 30 days which is amazing. We had the best experience & I highly recommend Mike Purkey & Primary Residential Mortgage to anyone looking to buy or refinance their home. Best customer service we've ever had. Mike was awesome. He went above and beyond what was expected. I used to work in mortgage lending for 10 years and I know how much work it all entails. Mike worked so hard to get me approved. Then when I found the house I wanted he was able to help me close in 30 days on an FHA loan. Even the realtors involved were so impressed with how quickly and easily Mike made this for everyone. In my opinion, he is one of the best loan originators I have ever met.
Professional and efficient. Very easy to work with. Answered all questions in a timely manner.
Awesome service! Tasha is the best! Tasha was efficient, wonderful and competent, I would use her again in a heartbeat.
Tasha really did her research on our situation, especially my husband's self-employment, before we even started the loan process. She was very diligent throughout the process.

What can cosmetic dental work do for your self-esteem that all the pots of cream and eyeliner on Madison Avenue can't? While we agree with the ad men that esthetics motivate how people see us, value us, and respond to us, true natural beauty has to do with good health, not technique with a make-up brush. When you admire the dazzling smile of that Revlon model, will you buy the lipstick - or seek the restorative dentistry that perfected the smile? Dentistry thee smile to health and symmetry. Cosmetics? Sure. But call on cosmetic dentistry for a beautiful smile that won't wash off.
Maybe you've thought about cosmetic dental work - but felt a little vain to consider it.
Or the appearance of your teeth never bothered you much, because your dental health is pretty good.
But fixing a small functional problem can sometimes yield wonderful, unanticipated dividends. Mary, for instance, had a few dental imperfections most of us could live with. But she was hampered from time to time by a lispy "s" sound.
Mary had gapped teeth, a diastema, which caused a slight but noticeable speech defect. She also showed evidence of life in the fast lane, too: teeth worn down, probably from nervous clenching of the jaw muscles or grinding teeth.
In Mary's case - and every case is different - porcelain veneers saved the day. Her cosmetic dentist began with a functional and esthetic evaluation to determine what shape and contour would best solve Mary's diastema problem. More tooth length was proposed, to give her a more youthful, proportioned appearance, too.
Impressions were taken, and sent off to the lab for fabrication. On the next visit, her teeth were cleaned and etched chemically, the dental veneers were cemented into place, and "cured" with a special light to seal them.
Mary's speech problem evaporated. Dentistry fixed that. But cosmetic dentistry did more than perfect her speech.
WHEN FUNCTION = BEAUTYLike an acrylic fingernail, veneers cover the front surface of the teeth. Porcelain dental veneers are strong and, by the way, look great.
As an architect of more that 60 years, I have learned that only the beautiful is practical. And universally, anything that is truly practical, functional, and useful is beautiful.
-Frank Lloyd Wright

The Atlanta Hawks have matched the offer sheet extended by the Milwaukee Bucks to Jeff Teague, President of Basketball Operations/GM Danny Ferry announced. Per club policy, terms were not disclosed.
"We are happy to bring Jeff back to our team. He has improved each year of his career and continues to get better," Ferry said. "At 25, he's already been a key contributor on a playoff team and we look forward to seeing him develop into even more of a leader on our team."
Teague increased his scoring and assist averages for the third consecutive year, posting career highs with 14.6 points and 7.2 assists in 32.9 minutes per game in 80 games (78 starts) during the 2012-13 season. His 7.2 assists per game ranked 12th in the NBA last season and he shot .881 from the free throw line, the eighth-highest percentage in the league. He is one of just 10 players in the NBA to increase their scoring average in each of the past three seasons.
The four-year veteran from Wake Forest posted 10 games with at least 20 points and 10 assists, tied for the fourth-most in the league last season with Stephen Curry (Golden State) and behind only LeBron James (Miami, 13), Tony Parker (San Antonio, 12), Chris Paul (LA Clippers, 11) and Deron Williams (Brooklyn, 11) . The Hawks posted an 8-2 record in those games.
"I am very excited to have the opportunity to coach Jeff. He has a high level of talent. Keeping him with our group allows us to continue to build and improve going forward," Head Coach Mike Budenholzer said.
The 19th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft by the Hawks, Teague has career averages of 9.0 points on .451 shooting and 4.0 assists in 22.6 minutes per game in 287 games (154 starts). He has also played in 29 postseason games (18 starts) and has averages of 9.4 points on .409 shooting and 3.0 assists in 25.3 minutes per game.

10 of the Best (and Oddest) Deep-Fried Foods
There are some foods that we, as human beings, collectively enjoy when deep fried in vats of cooking oil, like crispy chicken and French fries. A lot of these deep-fry choices make pretty good sense, while others are a bit more dubious, and push the bounds of what can actually be called "food." Here's a list of some of the most delicious deep-fried items around, and a few that might make you think twice before taking your first bite.
Deep-fried turkey got its start in the South, but its appeal has most definitely spread across the nation. If you want a succulent turkey without a dry piece of meat on it, then you need to get hold of a large deep fryer and a lot of oil and dip your bird inside of it. You'll be the most popular person at the summer BBQ parties, as well as on high demand come Thanksgiving. And once you go deep fried with your turkey, you'll never want to go back.
Mars Bars
Apparently the Scottish will deep fry just about anything. They shun fruits and vegetables, but love meat, fat, lard and oil (and dying young, apparently). And what could be worse for your heart than a deep-fried Mars Bar? The only possible answer to that question is two deep-fried Mars Bars. Many fish and chip shops, where fried and oily food is a way of life, will also serve you battered-coated, deep-fried Mars Bars. If you can't make it to Scotland any time soon, we're sure you can manage to create one of these artery-clogging treats at home on your own.
Again, we're stretching the imagination here a bit as to what constitutes "food." No matter what you believe a Twinkie happens to be, you can make it even better by deep-frying the little yellow torpedo. Simply freeze the cake, dip it in batter, and then plop it into the fryer. You can find these delicious, and extremely unhealthy treats in a few restaurants scattered about the country, as well as food stalls at many local county fairs.
Yep, you can deep-fry tarantulas. Just imagine what a great source of crunchy protein these spiders can provide. The delicacy, known as "a-ping" in Cambodia, is on offer from street vendors throughout this Southeast Asian country. Not only are these wok-fried arachnids a great source of nutrition, but they will also make you more beautiful, or so the locals say. The same can't be said for deep-fried Mars Bars or Twinkies.
Hold on a second. How can you fry Coca-Cola, which is a liquid? You can't deep fry water. Well, the trick is to deep-fry Coca-Cola flavored batter. After that you smother the batter in Coca-Cola fountain syrup, and then top off this creation with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a red cherry. A Texan by the name of Abel Gonzales, Jr. invented and debuted this crazy, yet very tasty concoction at the Texas State Fair in 2006.
And here all you thought silkworms were good for was spinning silk. As if we didn't work the poor little creatures to death already, now we get to chow down on them after their main job is done. Fried silkworms are a delicacy in many parts of Asia, but especially in China and Korea. When you see them laid out in the market, you might mistake them for some kind of bean or exotic chili. Look again, and you find heaps of deep-fried insects. When eating these tiny critters, just pop them into your mouth, like you do with popcorn.
Deep-fried Oreos are another very popular food that you'll likely stumble across at fairs and outdoor festivals. If you have a sweet tooth, these batter-dipped cookies will be sure to satisfy. They're best eaten warm, right out of the fryer, with some powdered sugar sprinkled on top.
Folks will do just about anything with canned span, and deep frying is no exception. You can cook up some Spam fritters, or partake of deep-fried Spam on a stick, or make some fried Spam balls or Spam musubi (Spam with rice and nori seaweed, Japanese style). Why not go crazy in the kitchen and come up with your own variation of this extremely versatile product? Spam is definitely no stranger to experimentation.
Ice Cream
Deep-fried ice cream is really, really good. You can get it at fairs, carnivals and quite a few Asia and Mexican restaurants. The breaded ice cream, which is quickly deep fried, gives you a treat that is sweet, as well as hot and cold at the same time. It can be quite a sensation for your taste buds, as many people out there can attest to. Deep-fried ice cream can also become a serious addiction, so watch out!
Why not deep fry your bacon instead of just frying it? You already know this isn't a heart-friendly food, so you might as well enjoy it. The process is pretty straightforward. Dip strips of bacon in batter, and then deep fry them. Easy. Of course, you might want to consult your doctor before you make this an everyday thing.

Samsung D6000 TV - Multiple Vulnerabilities
Luigi Auriemma
Application: Samsung devices with support for remote controllers
Versions: current
Platforms: the vulnerable protocol is used on both TV and blue-ray
devices so both of them should be vulnerable (my tests
were performed only on a D6000 TV with the latest
firmware); the following are the products listed on the
iTunes section of the app but note that I have NOT
tested them:
- TV released in 2010 with Internet@TV feature
Models greater than or equal to LCD 650, LED 6500 and PDP 6500
- TV released in 2011 with AllShare feature
Models greater than or equal to LCD 550, LED 5500 and PDP 5500
- BD released in 2011 with Smart Hub feature
Models greater than or equal to BD-Player D5300
Models greater than or equal to BD-HTS D5000
BD-HDD Combo D6900/8200/8500/8900
Bugs: A] Endless restarts
B] Possible buffer-overflow
Exploitation: remote
Date: 19 Apr 2012
Author: Luigi Auriemma
e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
web: aluigi.org
1) Introduction
2) Bugs
3) The Code
4) Fix
1) Introduction
All the current Samsung TV and BD systems can be controlled remotely
via iPad, Android and other software/devices supporting the protocol
used on TCP port 55000:
The vulnerabilities require only the Ethernet/wi-fi network connected
to be exploited so anyone with access to that network can do it.
I have not tested if there are limitations on Internet or in big WANs.
The remote controller feature is enabled by default like all the other
services (over 40 TCP ports opened on the TV).
2) Bugs
When the controller packet is received on the device it displays a
message on the screen for telling the user that a new "remote" device
has been found and he must select "allow" or "deny" to continue.
The message includes also the name and MAC address specified in the
received packet, they are just normal strings (there is even a field
containing the IP address for unknown reasons).
A] Endless restarts
The controller packet contains a string field used for the name of the
When the user selects one of the two choices (allow/deny) available
after having received an invalid name string (for example containing
line feed and other invalid chars) the device enters in the following
endless loop:
- for about 5 seconds everything seems to work correctly
- then the TV can be no longer controlled manually (both the TV remote
controller and the TV panel become slow and then completely
inactive), it just doesn't accept inputs
- after other 5 seconds the TV restarts automatically
- this situation will continue forever
During these continuous reboots it's not even possible to reset the
device (for example the "EXIT" button for 15 seconds can't work in
this state) or doing other operations allowed by the normal users
without affecting the warranty.
This is not a simple temporary Denial of Service, the TV is just
impossible to be used and reset so it's necessary the manual
intervention of the technical assistance that will reset it via the
service mode (luckily the 5 seconds of activity are enough to reach the
reset option).
The user can avoid the exploiting of the vulnerability by pushing the
EXIT button on the controller when the message with allow/deny is
displayed on the screen.
B] Possible buffer-overflow
By setting some fields like the MAC address to a long string it's
possible to crash the device, probably due to a buffer-overflow
vulnerability (just my guess).
No additional analysis is possible because I can't debug the device and
sincerely I'm not interested in killing my poor TV just for finding
other bugs and understanding them :)
3) The Code
4) Fix
No fix because I wanted to report the problems to Samsung but an e-mail
address doesn't exist for these types of bugs (email@example.com is
not available).
It would have been useful also for having more details about the
problems and knowing if all or only some devices are affected but no

Crosspicking With The Wrist And Forearm

This crosspicking motion feels much more comfortable and natural to me than the wrist deviation version, but when I try to alternate between two adjacent strings quickly, I find that it's really a doublestop tremolo that I'm doing. How different should it feel to be able to accurately alternate between the two strings?
Hello again CTC team! Troy, do you find crosspicking to be a "high-maintenance" technique, in the sense that you lose it quickly without regular dedicated practice? I ask this because crosspicking seems to require more finely tuned movements, as compared for example to the "Yngwie system". Thanks!
The forearm is one of the big three joints used in picking technique next to elbow and wrist, but outside of Eddie Van Halen's famous tremolo technique, it rarely acts alone. Most often, it's used in combination with the wrist to create a variety of super common and super useful motions. In this broadcast, we're going to look at the ways the wrist and forearm work together to make the kind of "fully escaped" pickstrokes used in crosspicking. Along the way, we'll look at players who utilize motions like this, including Andy Wood, Ardeshir Farah, and Jimmy Herring.
More importantly, combinations of arm and wrist exist in many picking motions, including those used in pickslanting. So the concepts we'll be discussing will make it easier for you to both recognize motions you may already be making, and to harness their power to play an even wider array of things.

MINNEAPOLIS – Drew Crawford scored 17 points and JerShon Cobb pitched in 15 points to help Northwestern win its third game in a row on the road, 55-54 over Minnesota on Saturday.
Tre Demps had 11 points for the Wildcats (12-11, 5-5 Big Ten), who moved into fourth place in the conference with their fifth victory in their last seven games.
The Gophers (15-7, 4-5) had the ball at the end, but DeAndre Mathieu's layup was short and Mo Walker's putback was off, too, before the final buzzer went off. Walker scored 14 points and Austin Hollins had 13 points, six rebounds and three steals, but the Gophers went 3 for 14 from 3-point range, 5 for 9 from the free-throw line and missed multiple short shots down the stretch.
Northwestern's last three-game Big Ten road winning streak, according to the Big Ten Network, was 54 years ago.

Visit the Upcoming features forum to discuss new features, changes or ideas. If you are willing to offer some cash or other compensation to a developer to get something done right away, visit the Help Wanted forum.
When a developer has decided to implement some new feature or change, please edit this wiki to add a brief summary including a link to the original forum topic for this new idea, so other users can post to that topic to discuss this, and where you will post updated progress info. Visit the Contacts Page to find developers who can commit your work to the main LinuxMCE branch, or to request svn write access.
This page lists the features which developers we are working to implement in the next release. There is also a forum dedicated to discussing features here . Please post to this page only those features which have been decided to be included.
Read about the long-term goals and strategy here: History of LinuxMCE, why I started this project, and the goals
Google Summer of Code Ideas:
internet radio Integrate internet radio into the existing media menu option so radio stations can be browsed the same way local media can.
internet tv / videos.google / youtube Integrate these online video sources into the existing media menu option so this video can be browsed the same way local media can.
gsd events The embedded Ruby interpretor presently only handles controlling devices; ie processing commands. The same code could be adapted in reverse to respond to events.
Standardized to be included in Ubuntu LinuxMCE still has a lot of non-standard scripts that Pluto wrote for use in commercial, black-box systems, which need to be rewritten in a more standard manner so that LinuxMCE plays nicely by Ubuntu's rules and be accepted into Ubuntu's main repository and included in their build.
Download audio podcast/video podcast A way with the GUI to subscribe to podcasts, and have them automatically downloaded and aggregated with the media in the home. Including playcount so a list of not listened to podcasts can be created.
Would it be possible to harness Miro/DemocracyTV for this functionality? I've succeeded personally in getting the Miro client to download videos into the LinuxMCE directory structure, but the filenames are non-intuitive and not all of them show up correctly (needs more testing). - dragon_788
Capture video from firewire camera The current plug and play detection engine already recognizes firewire digital camcorders. There should be a very rudimentary, simple 'capture' option that appears on screen to do basic video capture and save it to the managed media. Users can use a video editor like Kino for real editing; this is just for quick capture.
Better organize and manage photos The current UI could use some optimization to make it work better for managing photos.

Evert Pot has posted an update to a previous post around Composer's vulnerability around installing the wrong packages in the case of a conflict. In this latest post he points out, however, that the bug is now fixed.
As an update to my previous post, the composer security problem now appears fixed. Good to see that a quick response was possible after all.
The original issue was caused by the "replace" functionality, allowing the possibility for an incorrect package to be installed instead of the one requested. Other posts with more details include this one from Pádraic Brady and Nils Adermann. if you're a Composer user, it's highly suggested you update your currently installed version (run a "composer self-update").

When it comes to leaking draft picks, networks should give audience what it wants
With the draft approaching, the now-annual debate has emerged regarding whether the networks that broadcast the proceedings -- ESPN and NFL Network -- should avoid tipping picks.
It's a philosophical question that both networks should resolve by asking this simple question: What does the audience want?
Last year, a poll on PFT revealed that more than 78 percent of the 11,500 who responded don't want the picks to be tipped. We're starting that same poll from scratch below, in order to get a fresh reading.
The challenge for the networks comes from the unique nature of the draft. While on one hand ESPN and NFLN have hired a small army of news gatherers, the draft represents pro football's equivalent of the Oscars. And for the same reasons that audience doesn't want George Stephanopoulous scurrying around trying to find out what it written inside the envelopes, the NFL draft audience doesn't want to know whose name is one the card in the hands of the Commissioner until the Commissioner announces its contents from the stage at Radio City Music Hall.
The wishes of the audience apply both to reporting picks and predicting them. While ESPN producer Seth Markman continues to insist that the advance information regarding the identity of each pick that makes its way to the production truck isn't shared with the on-air talent, anyone who has worked in live television knows that good producers want to give their on-air talent the best possible information so that the on-air talent can be prepared to say intelligent things. So if Markman is a good producer (and we assume he is), Markman presses his "all call" button and lets the guys at the desk know who they will be talking about.
And then Chris Berman often feels compelled to create the false impression with the audience that he is clairvoyant.
Even if Berman somehow is merely guessing, he guesses right often enough to undermine the audience experience. Which is what this all comes back to. Networks that care about the audience give the audience what the audience wants. Networks that care only about the network give the audience what the network thinks the audience should want.
When it comes to the first round of the draft, the audience doesn't want to know who the pick will be, via a tip or a guess or a camera placed in the player's home, before the Commissioner announces it. The sooner ESPN and NFLN figure that out and act accordingly, the more enjoyable the draft will be for those watching it on television.

The news comes one day after Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said he would "absolutely" welcome Austin back in Dallas. With Austin, talent has never been a question. He's been a very productive receiver if and when he's healthy -- and that's always been a big if.
Austin is just 29, but an assortment of lingering ailments have kept him off the field and contributed greatly to his departure from the Cowboys in March. Bennett, who has just 185 career catches in six seasons with the Bears, was released by the team this offseason after refusing to take a pay cut.
Still, the Browns have to take a chance. They just drafted Johnny Manziel and boast one of the best receivers in the league, but Josh Gordon is facing a potential suspension. The wide receiver group after Gordon leaves much to be desired: the unproven Andrew Hawkins, Nate Burleson, who once again is on the mend with a broken arm, and the pedestrian Greg Little.
Austin, a two-time Pro Bowl wideout, adds size, a sure pair of hands and dynamic route-running to the corps. Bennett has experience in the slot. Manziel and Co. will have to hope at least one of the new veteran additions pans out.
The "Around The League Podcast" predicts which rookie quarterbacks will start first and what veterans are in trouble after the draft.

Second Place: Jim Duncan, NBC-12
Third Place: David Tolleris, WXRisk.com
You take your weather seriously, and — boom — you like to get it from NBC-12's Andrew Frieden. There's no other way to explain the number of votes he received — among the highest haul of any category in our survey. "He was one of the first meteorologists anywhere to break weather forecasting down to different parts of the day," NBC-12's news director, Nancy Kent Smith, says. He puts it in context, too, she says. "He does not just tell you that it will rain tomorrow. He puts in the extra effort to tell you if it will rain during the afternoon soccer game or the evening fireworks show." It doesn't hurt that he has a big team of meteorologists on his side, including second-place Jim Duncan, a fixture of forecasters. Third-place winner, David Tolleris, perhaps stands out for not being on television. His forecasts are followed closely by people and businesses alike.

In the flurry of excitement on photo shoot day, Pat stood focused at the large kitchen island stretching out homemade pizza dough. As Laurie slid the dough onto a Hamilton Beach searing grill, Pat moved on to slice fresh mozzarella and bright red tomatoes. Our talented home economists were working together to create a flavorful grilled margherita pizza that was as pleasing to the eye as it was to the taste buds. After the pizza was arranged and professionally photographed, those lucky enough to be helping out in the consumer test kitchen all grabbed a slice of the fresh, Italian creation.
The pizza recipe had undergone a strenuous process of testing and approval to ensure it can be recreated and enjoyed by home cooks like you. Our home economists Pat and Laurie say one of their favorite parts about working in the consumer test kitchen is developing the recipes that are included in your Use & Care guides and posted to our Everyday Good Thinking blog.
At Hamilton Beach, our products are carefully tested just the way you'll use them at home: in a real kitchen with real recipes, made with food that's readily available in everyday grocery stores. In our spacious consumer test kitchen in the suburbs of Richmond, Virginia, our home economists test products, develop guides, create recipes, and more. The homey kitchen might remind you of your own cooking space, except it has two desks in the back – a workspace where Pat and Laurie write FAQ guides, research recipes, and support our consumer affairs team. While many companies outsource this work, at Hamilton Beach we are proud to have an in-house test kitchen run by our skilled team. With a newly renovated kitchen and all the appliances they could possibly need, our home economists work hard to advocate for the consumer and ensure all our products are perfectly suited for a home kitchen.
Our test kitchen experts do more than just cook. They are a multi-tasking, multi-talented team whose expertise extends far beyond recipes. They collaborate with our engineers and test new products to ensure our appliances will work flawlessly when used in your kitchen. Test kitchen manager Pat says, "We step into the consumers' shoes and test products as people will want to use them in their homes."
After extensively testing each product, Pat and Laurie develop the Use & Care guides, helpful tips, and recipes that are included with the products you buy. After they carefully construct a Use & Care guide that is consumer-friendly, eight different departments within Hamilton Beach review the guide to ensure accuracy and safety. Although you might be tempted to tuck it away somewhere, Pat explains "your Use & Care guide is a valuable resource to inspire and instruct – think of it as your peek into the test kitchen."
Since our home economists work intimately with the products and understand exactly how they work, they partner with our consumer affairs team to answer questions from people like you. Pat and Laurie help train our consumer affairs representatives to make sure they have expert knowledge of each and every Hamilton Beach product so the information you receive is clear and accurate.
The test kitchen focuses on the "end game," meaning what consumers will do once they have a Hamilton Beach product at home. This focus leads to one of the best parts about working in the consumer test kitchen – creating recipes like the grilled margherita pizza they worked so hard to perfect. They walk a recipe through its many stages of development before it reaches you: conception, testing, approval, photography, and finally, publication. Our social media team and home economists orchestrate the photography of the recipes right here in our consumer test kitchen. The photos you see on Everyday Good Thinking are recipes made by Pat and Laurie using Hamilton Beach appliances, and they are as delicious as they look – those nearby share in the feast as soon as photography is complete. Home economist Laurie says, "I love the creativity of recipe development and trying to make each recipe unique to Hamilton Beach." Try out a Hamilton Beach tested recipe today; you'll be glad you did.

The Ravens finished their first week of training camp, and it was a solid and productive week. QB Steve McNair played reasonably well, and you had to be impressed with receivers Derrick Mason, Mark Clayton and tight end Todd Heap. Two other young receivers that were impressive were rookies Demetrius Williams and tight end Quinn Sypniewski. The Ravens' depth at running back was impressive, but you still want to see Jamal Lewis, Mike Anderson and Musa Smith in more live action. Two obvious weaknesses were at fullback and on the offensive line. On the line, there is a lack of quickness and intensity.
Defensively, middle linebacker Ray Lewis looked good. He seemed to be carrying more muscle in his chest than in previous years. He looked like he had swallowed a suitcase. Like the old Ray, he set the tone in practice flying around to the ball. This defense wants to be good. You can feel that attitude coming from the veterans such as Chris McAlister, Samari Rolle and Ed Reed. Watch out for defensive tackle Haloti Ngata. The big boy can play. Overall, this team is set and solid. The Ravens have a quarterback and some good skill players. The defense can still bring it. Now, if the offensive line can play...
It was just a good, solid week with the Ravens showing a good work ethic in the heat. Of course, there was some excitement over my column about the play-calling. As usual, it turned into something major because it involved Billick and myself. It was just a miscommunication between me and Jim Fassel. I should have pressed him more on a question, and he could have been more clear on the answer. The bottom line is that I'll take the blame. Regardless, Jim, Brian and I have talked about the situation and it's cleared up. As a matter of fact, Billick and I joked around about writing a book together when we've both retired. We have laughed about this whole thing.
We all still have good working relationships. There were no intended cheap shots even though the story has grown arms, legs and a life of its own while the three major guys involved have talked and moved on. It's life as usual.

Nocturnal Rainbows
Nocturnal Rainbows
You think you original? You ain′t original.
You were programmed to be you. You're a slave and you don′t even know it.
The shit you think of ain't even your thoughts.Let's step out the box for a minute
How do we know if God exists?
How do we know what′s positive?
Are you the definition of an angel or the opposite?
If you lost your wallet and I found it, I would not commit
To stealing it, but if the tables turned then you would pocket it
See I been me for so long, but I still don′t know who Hopsin is
How come I'm the one my teachers used to have a problem with?
I show my music to different labels, they ain′t too fond of it
But in the underground I seem to get so many compliments
Say my name and it's like people get afraid and shook
But if you take a look you′ll see I'm nothing like an angry crook
I′m learning hands-on, you busy with your face in books
I'm here to benefit the world so Heaven's where we′re safely put
I′m not a devil, not speakin' in tongues
I just wanna touch your heart, I try to reach it in songs
I′m from where a child's future′s in the streets with the bums
Because it's hard to become something so unique where I′m from
When the sun's down
Nocturnal rainbows soar in the air so high
It may seem so that I can't see
But the darkness provides the light for me
I don′t wanna be lonely
And the moon is my only homie
If there′s a higher power then show me
Instead of nocturnal rainbows
Obama's president, so? What′s he represent?
Just because the nigga's half black don′t mean he's Heaven-sent
You′re clueless to evidence and all the minds he's messin' with
His charm and smile hasn′t got my ass up out this debt for shit
Frontin′ like he's truly Jesus
And all you fools believe it
The change he′s making isn't good, that′s just how you conceived it
It's like we all broker than ever, it′s due to reasons
Dealing with self-beneficial plans and the movement he's with
Illuminati, or whatever the fuck they go by
They're the reason weird shit happens, and we don′t know why
Why did Michael Jackson start his tour than have to go die?
How did rap music go from really good to so dry?
Real artists get shelved and wack one′s get famous
To leave masses brainless, a smart mind is dangerous
In their eyes there probably ain't no real shit in your playlist
You′re just a product of what the government has created
When the sun's down
Nocturnal rainbows soar in the air so high
It may seem so that I can′t see
But the darkness provides the light for me
I don't wanna be lonely
And the moon is my only homie
If there′s a higher power then show me
Instead of nocturnal rainbows
We're all smart and we know what's bad and good for us
But yet when you got offered some marijuana, you took a puff
Your brain′s a fucking powerhouse, but what? That wasn′t good enough?
It's people like you who talk that "should′ve, could've, would′ve" stuff
You probably threw your life away cuz you would rather get high
With no license or car, so you bum rides to get by
Saying "I should've did this" or "I shouldn′t have hung with this guy"
"I'm broke as fuck, my rent's high. Ah, I should′ve realized"
I ain′t being cruel, these situations that I address
I more than likely could be someone you admire, yes
But it's because the blood, sweat and all the time that I invest
We play the same game, difference is you never try your best
You don′t have a skill, you set yourself up for a higher mess
I work around the clock, you slack off a lot for time to rest
Keep bullshittin' till your life is gone
Cause living′s naturally hell, you have to work to put a smile on
So high,

Will Eva Longoria Be Godmother to Victoria Beckham's Daughter?
Here in the States, we may not have thought of Victoria Beckham much since the end of the Spice Girls' reign, but in the UK, she and her husband, Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder David Beckham, are the focus of such intense scrutiny that a bit of a tabloid ruckus has erupted over whether or not Eva Longoria will be named their unborn daughter's godmother.
Although the Beckhams' representatives insist that "Victoria has not asked Eva to be a godmother and no christening plans have been discussed at this time," that hasn't quelled speculation in the pages of The Sun. According to the paper's source, "Victoria ran it past David and they both want Eva ... She's extremely honoured."

That didn't take long. Four days after Spotify promised to bring the Pink Floyd discography to its music service if—and only if—the classic track "Wish You Were Here" was streamed one million times, the company announced Monday that the milestone was shattered. All the Pink Floyd tunes you could ever want are now available to soothe your savage breast over on play.spotify.com or via the Spotify desktop application.
Well, sort of. Purists will quickly note that the digital discography consists of remastered versions of the original tunes, but to be fair, diehard Floyd fans probably weren't holding out for Spotify streaming to get their psychedelic fix.
It's also worth mentioning that the Spotify discography rocks the regular "Discovery" editions of Pink Floyd's remastered albums, rather than the beefed-up "Immersion" and "Experience" editions that were released in recent years.
Even so, it's hard to complain. Pink Floyd is on Spotify!
From "The Pied Piper at the Gates of Dawn" to "The Wall" to "The Dark Side of the Moon" to "Ummagumma," it's all here and open to premium subscribers and ad-supported free listeners alike. In fact, Spotify is the only streaming-music service that lets you listen to Pink Floyd as much as you want, absolutely free, as I've already discussed. (A premium Spotify subscription unlocks the ability to listen in at the higher-quality 320 kbps bitrate, though—twice the fidelity of ad-supported Spotify songs.)
Shoring up the streaming sound
The Pink Floyd addition comes mere months after Metallica, another longtime Spotify holdout, landed on the streaming-music service.
Only a few big-name bands are left refusing to cross the digital divide, most notably AC/DC, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin.
Spotify listeners aren't totally abandoned in a classic rock pinch, however: If you ever find yourself needing to scratch that Kashmir itch, the service sports the sultry cover tunes of "Led Zepagain."
On second thought, you might just want to stick with Pink Floyd. The playlist (above left) should get your week off to a beautiful sonic start.

It was populated by various Native American tribes; Creoles, who descended from original French and Spanish settlers; Acadians, exiles from Canada; and African slaves. The livelihood of the original settlers varied from fur trappers, hunters, soldiers and farmers. Spanish land grants divided the farms into narrow strips of property, each with its own river frontage. Long before sugar cane became the staple crop that it is in West Baton Rouge, indigo was the area's primary crop. Today, the land is still divided the same way it was in early nineteenth century.
The earliest settlement in West Baton Rouge Parish was Brusly Landing, located 4 miles south of where you are presently standing. Dr. Michele Mahier developed the town of Sainte Michele early in the 1800's. Although today, Sainte Michele is entirely located under the waters of the Mississippi, it was the precursor of today's Town of Port Allen.
Where were you on April 30, 1803? On this day in our nation's history, Robert Livingston and James Monroe were busy closing the "Real Estate Deal of the Millennium!" For the amazing price of $15 million, President Thomas Jefferson overcame his initial apprehension about the Constitutional limits placed on the executive branch of government, authorizing his emissaries to purchase the entire Louisiana Territory from France. Imagine the amount of land - what the United States acquired covered an area larger than the European countries of Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal combined!
Before Napoleon could change his mind, Jefferson, the cautious visionary, decided to take a risk in favor of his dreams of an "Empire of Liberty' that would expand the new Republic westward. Applauding Jefferson's boldness, General Horatio Gates wrote to the President later that summer, "Let the land rejoice, for you have bought Louisiana for a song."
Louisiana, as originally settled, was the land drained by the Mighty Mississippi and her tributaries, stretching over 800.000 square miles! Did you know 17 states resulted from this purchase? Did you know Yellowstone National Park was once part of Louisiana? Although his original motivation was to acquire the Port of New Orleans and it's associated trading rights, Thomas Jefferson soon realized his Louisiana Purchase would greatly benefit this newly formed sovereign nation. With this one purchase, he had obtained a territory for a price calculated at about four cents an acre, whose natural resources amounted to riches far beyond anyone's wildest dreams! Mr. Jefferson withstood the criticism of his peers who feared the new Republic was growing too quickly and would be too vast to govern properly. He wrote:
However our interests may restrain us within our own limits, it is impossible not too look forward to distant times, when our rapid multiplication will expand itself beyond those limits and cover the whole northern, if not southern, continent, when a people speaking the same language, governed in similar forms and similar laws..."
President Thomas Jefferson sent an expedition westward to find and map a transcontinental water route to the Pacific Ocean. With approval from Congress, Captain Meriwether Lewis and William Clark embarked on their legendary 3-year journey from St. Charles, Missouri to explore the uncharted West. Their expedition included 33 party members, known as the Corps of Discovery.

In an interview (at http://www.alainconnes.org/docs/Inteng.pdf) Connes remarks that
I had been working on non-standard analysis, but after a while I had found a catch in the theory.... The point is that as soon as you have a non-standard number, you get a non-measurable set. And in Choquet's circle, having well studied the Polish school, we knew that every set you can name is measurable; so it seemed utterly doomed to failure to try to use non-standard analysis to do physics.
What does he mean; what is he referring to?

Frequently Asked Questions
A properly snug harness, pack, or collar should mean you can fit only two fingers between your pet and the product at any point.
Start with the product loose, so it is easy to slip on your pet, then tighten once it's on.
Your product may be the improper size or improperly fitted if you see any of the following:
- Losing fur around harness area
- Chafing around harness area
- Wiggling free
- Back piece of harness rotating to sides
- Dog strongly resisting walking
It is important to refer to the size chart for each specific brand to find their sizing requirements. Below is a short guide to measuring your pet.
- Chest: Measure around the body of the dog with a flexible cloth tape measure. You should be starting at the bottom of the rib cage and going up and over the back and then back down to where you started.
- Neck: Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your Pet's neck and take that measurement. The part right on top of his shoulders, not where he would normally wear his collar which is narrower.
- Weight: While chest and neck measurements are the most accurate ways to fit a dog, many harness companies use weight to guide sizing. If you're having trouble getting your furry friend on the scale, weigh yourself first, then pick up your pet and weigh the two of you together. The difference will be the weight of your pet.
We 100% guarantee any purchase at Only Natural Pet. Return any product for any reason within 60 days of receipt for a refund equal to the amount paid for the product (not including shipping charges). The refund will be issued back to the original method of payment.

A dragon is a legendary creature, typically scaled or fire-spewing and with serpentine, reptilian or avian traits, that features in the myths of many cultures around world. The two most well-known cultural traditions of dragon are
The European dragon, derived from European folk traditions and ultimately related to Balkans and Western Asian mythologies. Most are depicted as reptilian creatures with animal-level intelligence, and are uniquely six-limbed (four legs and a separate set of wings).
The Chinese dragon, with counterparts in Japan (namely the Japanese dragon), Korea and other East Asian and South Asian countries. Most are depicted as serpentine creatures with above-average intelligence, and are quadrupeds (four legs and wingless).
The two traditions may have evolved separately, but have influenced each other to a certain extent, particularly with the cross-cultural contact of recent centuries. The English word dragon and Latin word draco derives from Greek (drakon), "dragon, serpent of huge size, water-snake"

Architectural Styles Found in La Jolla
Everyone has different architectural tastes, and our diverse offerings allow us to cater to your needs and wants. We can create seamless uniformity throughout your home, even in the landscape design, for a consistent look inside and out.
Some of the architectural styles we have experience with include:
- Mission Style
- Spanish Colonial or Ranch Style
- Italian Renaissance Revival Style

Eco-Friendly Architecture in La Jolla
Not all architecture companies emphasize eco-friendly design, but it's one of our main focuses here at Eco Minded Solutions. When you build a home with us, you can expect to benefit in the following ways:
- Lower water and electricity usage for long-term savings
- Better indoor air quality thanks to the use of chemical-free building products
- Impressive structural durability designed to last many lifetimes
- Less demolition and construction waste
- A lower carbon footprint for years to come
What Is Green Architecture?
Perhaps you want to benefit from "green" home-building techniques, but you're not sure what they are. Several components must come together to make a home as environmentally friendly as possible. These include:
- Building design and space planning: Exterior features such as the roof style, overhangs, and window placement affect heat gain from the sun. Then, interior elements such as stairwells and vaulted ceilings influence heating and cooling demand. With the right design and efficient use of space, you can live in luxury while reducing energy consumption.
- Building materials and systems: By including Energy Star-rated windows and doors, high-efficiency appliances and HVAC equipment, low-flow plumbing fixtures, vapor barriers, thermal insulation, radiant barriers, and other high-performance building systems, you can make your home more efficient. Some of these systems are mandated in the California Building Standards Code, but others are optional upgrades we encourage you to consider.
- Interior and exterior finishes: The materials you choose to finish your house impact its overall sustainability. For example, recycled paper countertops are more eco-friendly than granite, and reclaimed wood won't emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like laminated wood.
- Demolition and construction techniques: Bringing a design plan to life requires careful planning to minimize waste. When demolishing your old home and building a new one in its place, we'll donate functional used appliances, clean the job site daily, and recycle as much construction waste as possible.
The team of LEED-certified designers, engineers, and architects at Eco Minded Solutions bring all of these components together to create beautiful, energy-efficient homes in La Jolla.

I was very distraught by the disrespect shown to the people when the Navajo Nation disregarded the time honored practice to display the U.S. flag at an official meeting called by the Navajo Nation. The only flags presented were the Navajo Nation, the state of Arizona and the flag of Israel.
The U.S. flag has great significance for many of us. My sons, father-in-law, other family members, friends, colleagues, and many others deserving of respect that comes with defending and having defended the United States, the people, their communities and families and the freedom we are blessed with are represented by the U.S. flag.
As a former law enforcement officer, elected public official, employee of the Navajo Nation, the state of Arizona and the U.S. government, I took an oath to protect the United States, as did family, friends, colleagues and many others. Many of them lost their lives in the service of their country, many families lost loved ones serving this country, and many were injured or had loved ones injured as a result of their commitment to the people.
Blatant disregard of this was disheartening to say the least. Public officials represent the people. Public officials made promises before they took office to make certain they knew what would be expected of them, these oaths were made before the people they represent. It was unfortunate that Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly and his office ignored the oaths they made.
Since this is an election year we need to carefully consider the ability, the integrity, and the commitment of the people that are asking for our votes. We need to make certain that we elect and hire people that will not undermine the integrity of the people. One person that comes to mind is Chris Deschene. He is a veteran. While this may sound like a political speech, it is not. I am trying to say be careful who you elect. Protect the Navajo people's government, freedoms, sovereignty, and resources by making certain the person that receives your political support will put the interests of the people before their own, that they respect the people, our governments and the future of the people.
Be certain that the person you vote for will not compromise or undermine the integrity of the Navajo people or our government. Support the person that will not put the Navajo Nation in a position that is questioned by the federal government or the people.

Letter writers deceived into believing a lie
When terror came upon this country and we were deliberately attacked by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001, I was moved to learn about the Middle East area and this ideology of radical Islam, because all of the hijackers were Arab Muslims.
Sept. 11 should have been a wake-up call to all Americans, however, it doesn't appear that we have learned anything from history.
I vividly remember the footage I saw on the news. Palestinian Arabs cheering and celebrating the fall of the Twin Towers, meanwhile our true friend and ally Israel was grieving with us.
Fast-forward 12 years to today. I'm stunned at what I've been reading in the Navajo Times because people are deceived into believing a lie rather than searching the truth for themselves. Sadly, there is a sense of apathy directed at the nation of Israel.
I will provide you two answers: 1) There's an increasing amount of anti-Semitism on the college campus which seems designed to provide students with a one-sided view of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Instructors are indoctrinating students in antagonism towards Israel; 2) The liberal media is much to blame because they are very biased against Israel. There is no fair reporting and footages are "one-sided" to promote their pro-Arab propaganda.
This is an opportunity to share what I have uncovered. I'm going to be "politically incorrect" when I make this statement: "There never has been a Palestine and never has been a Palestinian people."
The people referred to as Palestinians are Arab people who are from the neighboring Arabic countries of Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and Iraq who read, write, subtract, speak, think, worship and live Arabic. There is no Palestinian language period.
These Arabs were migrant workers who came to Israel looking for work in the mid-19th century and the Jewish landowners hired them. Much like the migrant Mexicans who come to this country looking for work. The migrant Arab workers remained in Israel because they were displaced by their own Arab people.
Much of history has been ignored. In AD 135, the Roman Emperor Hadrian removed the name "Judea" and renamed it Palaestina. Hadrian was outraged at the Jewish nation and wanted to erase the name Judea and any Jewish presence. He coined up Palaestina because it was a reference to the Philistines who were ancient enemies of Israel. The name was eventually shortened to Palestine.
During World War II the Arabs aligned themselves with Germany against England. When World War II ended the name Palestine was revived under the British Mandate of Palestine. The British violated the mandate under the League of Nations unilaterally granting most of the land to the Arabs and downsizing Israel.
There has been suffering on both sides of the Arab-Israeli conflict. If you want to protest don't protest the only ally and friend we have in the Middle East, but protest Hamas. There is no difference between Hamas, Fatah, ISIS, Al-Qaeda and the 9/11 hijackers. They are terrorists sharing the same radical ideology.
You also have to realize that the Gaza Arabs voted Hamas in as their elected leaders knowing that they were a terrorist organization. Hamas is responsible for all the casualties and destruction in Gaza. Israel has always wanted peace but during every cease fire, Hamas has fired rockets into Israel.
There are more pressing issues on the Navajo Reservation to focus on. Our Navajo people are still without water and electricity in the Bennett Freeze. Our Navajo people are still suffering and without water due to the contamination caused by uranium mining. The list goes on and on.
I'm aware that there may be some who will disagree, but I recall what a wise Navajo judge wrote in a letter to the Navajo Times: "You can disagree, but disagree respectfully."
Don't resort to name calling because there is already too much violence and hatred in this world.

Feature more articles written by Diné
I found myself very confused after reading the article, "Five years later, town still reeling from '09 artifact raids" (July 31, 2014).
I live in Monument Valley, Utah, and am Diné. I occasionally shop in Blanding, Utah (the town referenced in Alysa Landry's article). I feel that this article was very biased in the case of Dr. Redd and the other 23 people that were indicted in the case. The way Landry wrote the article it sounded as though she was defending Dr. Redd and the white "victims" -- excuse me -- citizens of Blanding.
In the article, there were only a couple of sentences explaining that ancestral Puebloan ruins and artifacts are sacred. They are sacred and are not to be taken and sold. It was wrong that those people dug up ancestral Puebloan artifacts and sold them.
It is unfortunate that three people killed themselves that were involved in this case. However, it was their choice to do that. They had a choice to kill themselves just as the two people in the case who killed themselves made the choice to dig up artifacts and sell them. The author of this article wrote it as if she was in support of the Blanding citizens that were "terrorized" by the U.S. government. Well, citizens of Blanding, "Welcome to what it feels like to be an American Indian."
After having read the article, I decided to research the author, Alysa Landry, to see who she was and what her background is because I found it hard to believe that a Diné person would write such a slanted, biased, pro-white article defending the white citizens of Blanding. My results: I found Ms. Landry's LinkedIn profile and saw that she is a white female according to her bio picture and that she had attended Brigham Young University for her bachelor's degree.
It all clicked, I had found my answer ... it is common knowledge that Blanding is a predominantly Mormon community and BYU is a Mormon university. It all began to make sense.
Navajo Times, as a Diné citizen, I would like to read more articles written by Diné people because after all, the title of your newspaper is the Navajo Times. The racist attitudes of Blanding and of border towns surrounding the Navajo Nation has seeped its way into an article of a newspaper written for Diné people.
We, as Diné people, deal with enough racism and discrimination and it does not need to be in a Diné newspaper. If I wanted to read discriminative articles with racist undertones against Diné people I would read the Farmington Daily Times, but, oh wait, Landry has written for that newspaper as well. Please feature more pro-Diné articles written by Diné people. Ahéhee'.

Surprised at tone of Zah's guest column
First the usual disclaimer -- the views in this letter are my personal thoughts and not those of any present or former employer or client.
I was surprised at the tone of Peterson Zah's guest column in the July 31, 2014, Navajo Times which attacked the Navajo Nation Supreme Court over its June 20, 2014, opinion in the Navajo Nation Oil and Gas Company case and also attacked Louis Denetsosie, Paul Frye and Harrison Tsosie ("Navajo Supreme Court abuses its power").
Zah is one of the great Navajo leaders over the last half-century and perhaps the only Navajo Nation chairman or president during this period who had substantial and long-lasting achievements during this period and whose personal integrity was unquestioned, so when he lashes out at the Supreme Court (which, as he notes, his first administration created) and lawyers he worked with in the past like Denetsosie and Frye, his comments are certainly worth reading and thinking about.
It is certainly unusual for a court to find it lacks jurisdiction over a complaint Ñ as the Supreme Court did Ñ and then make substantive rulings on issues raised by the pleadings. (Of course since the court found jurisdiction over the counterclaim, the remand of the counterclaim back to the district court to hear the counterclaim is not unusual and makes sense.)
Given the dilemma the court and Navajo Nation faced with two groups each claiming to be the legitimate leaders of NNOG, and given the strictures of the Navajo Sovereign Immunity Act such that there was no apparent way to achieve a quick resolution of the dispute, it is not surprising that the Supreme Court fashioned a remedy which would let some group be "in charge" of NNOG and thus be able to protect its business and assets and be responsible for running the corporation. (After all NNOG is not some private entity, but rather is owned by the Navajo Nation on behalf of the Diné people.)
And it ought to be remembered that the Supreme Court acted only after having implored the two factions to meet and work out their differences in a way that permitted NNOG to operate in the best interests of the Navajo Nation and the Diné people and that advice and direction was ignored.
That the Supreme Court (like Council Delegate Leonard Tsosie) recognized that corporate procedures for removal of directors needed to be complied with should certainly not be a surprise to Zah or anyone else, since this is generally true in all American jurisdictions. So instead of running off to federal District Court, the "shareholder representatives" would have been well advised to consider if there really were valid grounds to remove the members of the NNOG Board and, if so, pursue that removal in a proper legal mannerÑan option still open to them.
Finally, Zah is a great man and a great Navajo leader. But sometimes great men and great leaders make great mistakes. This is one of those times.

School board members become dysfunctional
I would like to praise the author of the letter of the week about the elected school board in last week's Navajo Times ("Don't pick school board members who have been around 'for years,'" by Kern Collymore). It is long overdue and it really hits the prime spot for most school board members.
It is absolutely true most of them become dysfunctional after the second term or so. And some are elected with no knowledge of education and its school policies and applicable mandates intended to improve our children's education. And that is the reason the reservation schools are falling farther and farther behind.
Some of them are afforded training opportunities off the reservation with the intent of educating them on these important mandates and instead they make it a paid vacation by taking joy and party out of it. They return empty-handed and only a few benefit.
It's embarrassing to see our elected officials do these types of nonsense. They don't realize the value of the precious dollars spent on them and get nothing in return. They need to be changed often like diapers. They gain wealth using our children, which I think is naive, insane and unacceptable.
Finally, it's sad to see them being controlled by the principals and administrators. They tend to get geared into administrative functions, right or wrong. The end result is usually terminating good teachers and support staff caused by the principal. They need to stick to their legislative functions.
Presently, term limit for the president and tribal Council is being placed before voters in the coming election. It would have been nice if the school board members were included.
I would like to urge the voters and parents to elect new action oriented people who are willing to learn about the current school policies and mandates so the schools in their district can start getting passing grades with the "No Child Left Behind" legislation.

Grand Canyon is a unique place
Today I learned about the proposal for the Grand Canyon Escalade on the Navajo Reservation. Although I live 2,000 miles away, I am deeply concerned.
Over the past 50 years I have backpacked in the Grand Canyon several times, always being careful to leave no trace of where I had been. The Grand Canyon is one of nature's unique places on our small earth. It is profoundly beautiful and sacred to me.
I recognize the right of the Navajo Nation to do as it sees fit within the reservation but I do ask that it seriously consider how a gondola would desecrate the Grand Canyon. This one-and-only canyon is a gift to all the peoples of the world and this larger view should be taken in our care of it.
I understand the project has been tabled for a year. May the tabling continue forever.
