How Not to Get Stung By Bees
It is no secret that the author of this article is a big fan of honey bees and bumble bees, and an unabashed promoter of bee-friendly landscaping. That is why I choose to begin this article with a factoid: Honey bees and bumblebees are totally different from wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets. While honeybees and bumblebees (with the exception of the Africanized Honeybee) are not usually aggressive, wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets are. Wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets do play an important role in the ecosystem, which is eating other insect pests. However, they are aggressive enough that most university extension services recommend having their nests removed by a qualified pest control expert.
Honeybees and bumblebees, on the other hand, are extremely valuable as pollinators, and should not be killed. If you notice swarms of honeybees on your property, call a local beekeeper to remove the bees to his hives. Because honeybee populations are dwindling, it is absolutely preferable not to kill them.
Although honeybees and bumblebees are animals that you actually want in your garden, they do sting. As I said, most types of honeybees are not aggressive toward humans, but if provoked they will sting. You can avoid being stung by these highly beneficial insects by doing a few small and easy things, as recommended by the University of Maine Cooperative Extension. Cover as much of your body as you can with light-colored, smooth-finished clothing (this also prevents sunburn when working in the garden). Keep your yard free of sugary garbage, like remnants of soda from a barbecue. If you see a bee, don't swat at it. Remain still, and the honeybee or bumblebee will probably fly away. Swatting at the bee will increase the likelihood of it stinging you. From personal experience: Since every bee sting I have received has happened by stepping on a bee while walking barefoot in the grass, wearing shoes or sandals while playing or working outside is a very simple way to avoid the painful bee sting on the bottom of the foot.
Should you get swarmed by bees, do not run, as running will attract more of them. Instead, seek shelter indoors. If you are outside, move to a shaded area to get away from the bees. Needless to say, if you are allergic to bees, always carry an allergy kit with you, and know how to use it.
If you do get stung by a honeybee, you'll need to remove the stinger. The Indianapolis-area pest control experts at Purdue University recommend that if you are stung by a honeybee, you should scrape the stinger off with a fingernail or other straight edge. Do not remove a honeybee stinger with tweezers or by squeezing it between two fingers, as it will squeeze the venom into the muscle. Wash the affected area with soap and water. Ice can reduce the swelling of a bee sting. Resist the urge to scratch the bee sting, as it will irritate the skin and prolong your discomfort.
With the foregoing advice, you should be able to garden alongside honeybees and bumblebees without incident. Contact your local beekeeper or apiculture expert if you are experiencing an unpleasant or disruptive number of honeybees or bumblebee in your yard.

Asymptote is a powerful descriptive 2D and 3D vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
AuthenticRoast allows you to build highly flexible authentication mechanisms for the Java Web tier. This can be anything from HTTP Basic authentication to authenticating with openid, facebook, or your company's Kerberos setup. The authentication modules can be combined at will and even changed at runtime. This currently works for glassfish and plain Tomcat, and allows you to use all the features of container-managed security without being constrained to the simple login methods provided.
Bletchley is a real-world cryptanalysis framework. It was created to assist with the detection, analysis, and exploitation of cryptographic flaws and aims to help automate the tedious aspects of this analysis while leaving the security expert in control of the process.

C-ICAP Classify is a module that allows classification (labeling) of Web pages, images, and soon video based on content. Labels are placed in HTTP headers. Any PIC-Label META tags are exported into HTTP headers. This allows for creation of very flexible filters according to rules defined by the user, using the ICAP enabled proxy's ACLs. It is not a URL filter, so implementing it with sslBump or similar proxy technologies makes it very difficult to bypass. Text classification is done using Fast Hyperspace (based on Hyperspace from CRM114) and/or a Fast Naive Bayes. Image and video (when implemented) use haar feature detection from the OpenCV library.
CarvPath (libcarvpath) is a library aimed at computer forensic tools that process disk and/or memory dump images or other large data files. The library allows the creation and manipulation of CarvPath annotations, which are a way to annotate partitions, files, alternate streams, processes etc. within a disk or memory image as a string. Entities within a CarvPath notation can be fragmented and/or nested, and allow for the expression of 'sparse' fragments within an entity. The CarvPath annotations resemble a path string in a filesystem, and thus present a basis for the interaction between computer forensics tools and the CarvPath-based user space file-system, CarvFs.

Starting a season 6-0 in the NFL is an impressive feat that usually results in media hype leading into every game. "Will Team X stay unbeaten as they travel to City Y to play Team Y?" With just two perfect teams left in the NFL, one would believe both those teams would garner a large segment on ESPN leading up to each game. If that's what you'd believe would happen, you'd be wrong. While the 6-0 Denver Broncos will continue to bask in the spotlight that revolves around Peyton Manning's incredible season to date, the Kansas City Chiefs will continue to go out every week and play sound football. The Chiefs and the Broncos play in the same division, meaning they'll get two shots at each other. Those game may be the best games of the year too. Beyond sharing a division, however, the two have little in common. The Broncos have achieved a 6-0 mark by piling on inordinate amounts of points on opponents. Although Denver has been hampered by suspect defensive play through much of the year, no one has been able to keep up with Peyton Manning and the Broncos' offense for an entire game. The Chiefs have taken a remarkably different path to 6-0, and considering this is a team led by quarterback Alex Smith, their style comes as no surprise. In his final seasons with the 49ers, Smith established himself as a model of efficiency, allowing the 49ers to win games as a complete team instead of on the back of a few elite players. That model has transferred over well to the Chiefs who have won games by playing great defense and smart offense. The Chiefs have forced opponents to beat them instead of giving away games, and with great talent throughout the roster, no team has been up to the task yet. It's hard to tell exactly why the Chiefs have been able to remain so quiet while winning their first six games. It seems reasonable to surmise that the low key nature of head coach Andy Reid and Alex Smith has kept the Chiefs out of the spotlight. The other part of the equation likely centers around the incredible level of expectations the Broncos had coming into the season. At the end of the day, the lack of attention likely bothers no one inside the Chiefs organization. The future bodes well for the Chiefs too. The team will host the floundering Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns before traveling to Buffalo to take on the Bills. If all goes to plan, there's no reason the Chiefs won't push their record to 9-0 before traveling to Denver in what will almost certainly be the most hyped contest of the season. There are any number of ways teams can win in the NFL, but few ways keep a team off the radar as well as the Chiefs' strategy. It's working for them in a big way, and it's put them in perfect position to make a postseason run. [follow]

Calcium is a mineral that is found naturally in foods. Calcium is necessary for many normal functions of the body, especially bone formation and maintenance. Calcium can also bind to other minerals (such as phosphate) and aid in their removal from the body.
Calcium carbonate is used to prevent and to treat calcium deficiencies.
Calcium carbonate may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about Tums E-X (calcium carbonate)?
Calcium can make it harder for your body to absorb certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all medicines you use, and those you start or stop using during your treatment with calcium carbonate.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Tums E-X (calcium carbonate)?
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medicine if you have other medical conditions, especially:

Do not use this medicine without a doctor's advice if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Your dose needs may be different during pregnancy or while you are nursing.

How should I take Tums E-X (calcium carbonate)?
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Calcium carbonate works best if you take it with food.
Swallow the calcium carbonate tablet or capsule with a full glass of water.
The chewable tablet should be chewed before you swallow it.

Community Banks, Credit Unions Pump Gas and Create Customers
Small banks and credit unions are often known for their personalized customer service and community involvement. Recently, dozens of community banks and credit unions took that ethos to a new level as they participated in a nationwide public relations campaign, pumping free gas for consumers in nearly 40 gas stations across the country.
The "Take Back Your Banking" event, held August 28 and 29, was sponsored by Kasasa, a turn-key, high rewards free checking account product from technology vendor BancVue. Kasasa works exclusively with credit unions and community banks. All the financial institutions that participated were Kasasa customers.
The second annual event was designed to allow representatives from these smaller financial institutions to get directly in front of consumers and pitch the benefits of credit union or community bank membership.
Over 30 banks and credit unions participated in 38 cities across the U.S. and gave about 7,800 customers free gas. The offer was limited to $20 in gas, and was available to the first 200 people that showed up at designated gas stations between 9 and 11 am. Banks and credit unions that partnered with BancVue spoke about the Kasasa rewards programs.
One of the banks that participated, Minnesota-based PioneerBank, saw some immediate results by participating in the event. Four of the customers that got free gas pumped by PioneerBank employees during the event went straight to the PioneerBank across the street from the gas station in North Mankato, Minn., according to the CEO of PioneerBank, David Krause, who was greeting customers at the gas station.
"I was the first one to talk to them and explain to them what we were doing and then directed them on line so they could get their gas pumped," says Krause. "We gave them a couple of other trinkets and giveaways, along with the Kasasa account brochure. We had our personal bankers there explaining our advantages as the gas in being pumped in the car."
BancVue's clients can offer the Kasasa checking account as an alternative product that competes with offers from big banks says Krause. PioneerBank wanted to focus more on gaining deposits and rely less on brokered deposits and Federal Home Loan Banks' advances to fund their loan demand. The bank became a client after meeting with a BancVue representative and attending an information session hosted in Texas. In three years, deposits at PioneerBank have grown by 3,200 Kasasa accounts.
BancVue developed Kasasa after conducting research in 2009 that showed consumers want the service of a community bank with the products offered by big banks, says Gabriel Krajicek, CEO of BancVue.
Krajicek says that the point of developing Kasasa was to keep the brand of each community bank partnered with BancVue but offer a consistent high-rewards product to the consumer without hidden fees.
"If all the Kasasa institutions were one institution, they would have the 11th largest branch network in the country," says Krajicek.

1. This position requires that the woman sit with her back to him. The male lies on the bed and the female straddles his torso, kneeling on either side of him. From this position she can put her hands on his knees, giving her the leverage to lift off. This position forces the penis into an uncommon angle, which many women find extremely exciting. If she wants to give him additional stimulation during this position she can reach down with one of her hands and massage his balls. Gentle pulling or massaging is often very desirable for men.

Fine Arts
Art Exhibit: Nina Katchadourian and Annette Lawrence
LocationFine Arts Gallery
Date & Time1:00pm - 5:00pm CST November 8, 2014
1:00pm - 5:00pm CST November 8, 2014
The Fine Arts Gallery presents an exhibition "Contingent Objects: works by Nina Katchadourian and Annette Lawrence" which celebrates the centennial of Marcel Duchamp's landmark artwork "Bottle Rack", 1914. By recontextualizing found objects, these two artists' works make reference to the challenging ideas inherent in Duchamp's oeuvre.
Nina Katchadourian's "Family Gatherings" is a suite of photographs of book groupings from a family's personal library. After studying the character of the library collection, Katchadourian arranged selected books in horizontal stacks so their titles form clever sentences or ideas not necessarily related to the books' contents. Katchadourian's work uses humor to reveal serious contemporaneous issues.
Annette Lawrence exhibits twelve dramatic wall sculptures titled "Free Paper", which she constructed from catalogs received in her mail. Working from her career-long engagement with art as idea, Lawrence dissects and displays the catalogs in stacks on shelves, with each sculpture presenting that month's collection. The sculptures illuminate many topics both intellectual and social, including environmental and commercial mass marketing problems.
Free and open to the public.

Bond Liquidity Risk in $3.5 Trillion Funds Defused by Cash
The record $3.5 trillion stockpiled in U.S. fixed-income funds is raising the specter the bond market will buckle under the strain of redemptions once interest rates rise. Simple math suggests there's little need to worry.
While fund assets have almost doubled since the financial crisis, their size as a portion of all U.S. mutual funds is still in line with the 21 percent average over the past three decades, according to Investment Company Institute. Debt fund managers also hold almost 9 percent of assets in cash, close to the highest in a quarter-century and more than the maximum rate of outflows in 1994 -- one of the worst years for bonds.
With St. Louis Fed President James Bullard saying Aug. 15 that markets are probably mistaken if they expect rate increases to occur more slowly than policy makers forecast, money managers such as BlackRock Inc. (BLK) have called on regulators to forestall a potential liquidity crisis that may deepen a selloff if too many investors try to get out at once. While a tumble in bonds economists have predicted all year may finally materialize, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) says withdrawals are unlikely to unleash a flood of selling that upends debt markets.
"The worries are overblown," Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, the London-based global-market strategist at JPMorgan, the top-ranked firm for U.S. fixed-income research by Institutional Investor magazine, said by telephone on Aug. 14. "If you look at history, it's clear investors aren't over-invested and bond funds are well positioned."
Bond Enthusiasm
The stakes have never been higher for the Federal Reserve to engineer a soft landing from almost six years of near-zero benchmark rates as the amount of outstanding public debt reaches a record $17.7 trillion, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
In the U.S., debt securities of all types, from Treasuries to junk bonds, have rallied this year and confounded forecasters who foresaw losses as the Fed scaled back its extraordinary stimulus that has supported the U.S. economy since 2008.
The 4.9 percent average return is the most since 2011 on a year-to-date basis, data compiled by Bank of America Corp. show.
Yields on 10-year Treasuries, the benchmark for trillions of dollars of securities, fell to the lowest since June 2013 last week as the deepening conflict between Russia and Ukraine boosted demand for haven assets. Yields (USGG10YR) dropped 0.69 percentage point this year through Aug. 15 and ended at 2.34 percent last week. They were at 2.39 percent as of 2:57 p.m. in New York.
'Systemic Risk'
The bond market has been supported by individuals pouring money into fixed-income mutual funds, which has boosted their assets by $1.77 trillion since the start of 2008, according to Washington-based ICI, the industry's trade association.
The enthusiasm for bonds has raised the risk a sudden jump in yields could cause a flood of redemptions and magnify losses, according to BlackRock, the world's largest money manager.
The New York-based firm, which oversees $4.32 trillion, published a report in May saying regulators should consider limits on some withdrawals and standardize provisions that would let funds under duress hand over bonds instead of cash.
"Minimizing 'run risk' will mitigate systemic risk," the report said. Spokeswoman Tara McDonnell said on Aug. 15 the firm still held this view while declining to comment further.
While the surge in bond demand since the financial crisis has given credibility to the notion that the risks to investors have rarely been greater, it doesn't tell the whole story.
Bond funds account for 22 percent of the $15.66 trillion U.S. mutual fund industry, just 1 percentage point more than the average since 1984, according to ICI.
More Prepared
At the same time, fixed-income funds have increased their cash cushions to 8.7 percent of assets from 7.3 percent a year ago. That's more than the historical average of 5.4 percent. On a quarterly basis, the funds have had more liquid assets only once in the past 30 years -- in the second quarter of 2011.
During 1994, when U.S. debt securities lost 2.75 percent in the worst year on record, outflows never exceeded 6 percent of bond fund assets in any quarter, according to JPMorgan.
Bond managers are more prepared to meet redemptions after last year's 2.25 percent selloff, dubbed the "taper tantrum," caused yields on 10-year Treasuries to surge about 1.4 percentage points in four months and triggered the longest stretch of outflows from bond funds since 2000.
Former Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke rattled investors when he said in May 2013 the bank could taper its $85 billion-a-month bond buying program if it saw indications of sustained growth.
Less Willing
"The risk of a system-wide cash depletion seems unlikely" as bond funds have boosted liquidity, Ira Jersey, a New York-based interest-rate strategist at Credit Suisse Group AG, said by telephone Aug. 14. The Zurich-based firm is one of 22 primary dealers that trade with the Fed.
Robert Tipp, the chief investment strategist at Prudential Financial Inc.'s fixed-income unit, which oversees $335 billion, is less certain funds can cope with a wave of redemptions without disruptions, especially as the Fed starts raising rates.
The Fed is poised to end its bond purchases by October and futures contracts show that traders anticipate the benchmark rate will rise to 0.64 percent at the end of next year. Fed policy makers expect the target rate to reach 1.13 percent at the end of 2015, based on the median estimate.
"The market is trading too dovishly," the Fed's Bullard said in an interview last week on SiriusXM satellite radio. "I think that's probably a mistake."
Because yields on U.S. debt securities are so low, the potential for losses when they rise is now close to an all-time high, based on a bond-market metric known as duration.
'Valid Case'
The risk that funds won't be able to sell when they need to the most has also emerged as regulations designed to curb risk-taking made dealers less willing to hold bonds.
They have cut inventories of all types of debt securities by almost half in the past 16 months, Fed data show.
"It's a valid concern that so much money has come into bond funds, especially given the yield levels," Tipp said by telephone from Newark, New Jersey, on Aug. 13. "There could be significant dislocations. At this point, it's hard to tell how bad things can get when we turn the other way."
With inflation under control and wage growth still tepid, there's little need for the kind of rate increases that would spur a sustained exodus, said Jennifer Vail, head of fixed-income research at Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank Wealth Management, which oversees $112 billion.
Average hourly earnings were unchanged last month, even as American employers added jobs at a pace not seen since 1997. Consumer prices using the Fed's preferred measure have risen less than its 2 percent target for 26 straight months.
Bull Thesis
A growing number of retirees and pensions are also buying bonds for steady, low-risk income in a demographic shift that's set to underpin debt demand for years to come. At the same time, bonds in the U.S. are yielding the most in five years versus the rest of the world, which may lure foreign buyers.
"Bonds are not a bubble," Vail said in a telephone interview on Aug. 12. "Demand generally hasn't waned."
For James Kochan, chief fixed-income strategist at Wells Fargo Funds Management LLC, having extra cash means clients who want out can get their money while managers have the ability to snap up more bonds at higher yields whenever prices drop.
Just a week after record withdrawals from junk-bond funds pushed yields to an almost six-month high of 6.3 percent, demand reappeared as investors deposited $680 million in the week ended Aug. 13, according to Lipper. Toward the end of June, yields on junk bonds had fallen to a record 5.69 percent.
"The reality is we are living in such a low-yield global environment," Kochan said by telephone from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, on Aug. 13. "Having cash on hand allows bond managers to ability to wait for higher yields to jump back in."

Hardcover: 430 pages
Amateur astronomers today are exceptionally fortunate to be living in an era when high quality, and very large, optics are so affordable. In the first half of the 20th century the telescope deluxe for the amateur was the 6-inch refractor. However, such telescopes were so expensive that very few amateurs could afford them: the majority of stargazers had to content themselves with instruments in the 60mm range. Consequently, most observing guides published during that time emphasized double and multiple stars, with honorable mention for variable stars and planetary nebulae, objects which do well in long focal length refractors. Webb's 1858 Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes and Olcott's 1936 Field Book of the Skies were not superceded for so many decades simply because the average amateur instrument did not dramatically improve during the century after Webb. By the 1950s the mass-produced or homemade 6-inch parabolic mirror brought medium-sized optics into the price range of the average amateur, and with it the emission nebulae, open clusters, and galaxies that had been seen only as amorphous blobs-if seen at all-in small refractors. The 1948 Skalnate Pleso Atlas of the Heavens had already displaced the classic Norton's Star Atlas as the frontline sky-chart for amateurs, but the observing guides badly needed rewriting. However, not until the 1970s and Burnham's Celestial Handbook was there an observing guide worthy of the 6-inch Newtonian reflector or of the more expensive, but increasingly popular, 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope.
By the early 80s another revolution in amateur optics was underway thanks to the inexpensive and easily-constructed mounting for large aperture Newtonian reflectors invented by John Dobson. With these big "light buckets" one can see scores of emission nebulae, hundreds of star clusters, and thousands of galaxies, and with details visible in virtually all of them.
But once again observing literature has failed to keep pace with the optics. The purpose of The Night Sky Observer's Guide is to close this rewidened gap by providing the owner of a medium or large aperture telescope with some idea of what to look for in such instruments-both what objects can be seen, and what details may be seen within these objects. The Night Sky Observer's Guide endeavors to assist the observer in the act of observing-in truly seeing what there is to see in each of the objects described in these pages-because the first step in astronomy is to actually look with attention at what is in the night sky. It began in 1987 when George Kepple and Glen Sanner, founded the Observers Guide, a bi-monthly magazine that set out to describe, with their readers as active participants, what could be seen with telescopes 8-inches and larger from mid-northern latitudes. Unlike an ordinary magazine it would have a finite life because each issue was devoted to one-or occasionally several smaller constellations. When completed in the early 1990s 64 constellations had been covered.
The object descriptions in The Night Sky Observer's Guide derive from those in the original Observer's Guide, but the editors have reviewed and edited each so it will conform to a set style. In those instances where inconsistencies arose the editors re-observed the object and rewrote the original Observer's Guide description. The Night Sky Observer's Guide also includes many photographs and maps that did not appear in the magazine. Though both the Observer's Guide and now The Night Sky Observer's Guide were aimed at amateurs especially interested in observing galaxies, nebulae and clusters, neither the magazine nor these volumes have neglected double and variable stars. Data tables for doubles and variables within a constellation are provided near its beginning, and these stars are labelled on maps and finder charts. Moreover, the most famous or visually impressive doubles and variables are given written descriptions similar to those for other deep-sky objects. Splitting doubles and plotting variable star light curves are not nearly as popular with amateurs today as they were thirty or forty years ago, so doubles and variables are not emphasized in these volumes. Nevertheless, double stars in particular offer the observer many fine, and even spectacular, sights in the eyepiece.
Each chapter is devoted to a constellation. The first page is devoted to general comments about the constellation. The second page is a map of the constellation which faces a stellar data table which usually fills the entire page. The remaining pages of each chapter contain photographs, sketches and finding charts - and all of these pages include writen descriptions of objects as seen through different sized instruments.

Social networking software is a new approach in some academic and public libraries today in order to make libraries not only "cool" in the public's eyes, but also as a third space in which potential library users can participate in an collaborative exchange with their libraries. It also may allow users to build relationships with the library staff and other library users.
Examples of social networking software include MySpace.com, Friendster.com, and Facebook.com. These sites allows users to create pages in which others (potential library users) can view and provide feedback. Some academic and public libraries have created MySpace or Facebook pages in an attempt to promote and extend their library services such as reader's advisory, and third party applications can add increasing usability to to pages.
Examples of libraries using social networking software include:
While most libraries have switched from MySpace to Facebook, the libraries listed have kept their MySpace pages active by connecting it to both their Twitter and Facebook pages.

3rd Party Facebook Application for the Library
Increasingly, applications are being developed by third party software companies which add greater functionality to Facebook pages. For the library, these applications can create legitimate research portals out of their Facebook pages, transforming what was once a marketing tool into what can now be a research tool.
- My Delicious adds Delicious links to a Facebook page (the official Delicious app is now defunct).
- Delicious Box adds Delicious links to a Facebook page(the official Delicious app is now defunct).
- JSTOR app allows patrons to search your library's JSTOR account directly though Facebook.
- San Francisco PL has created a Widgetbox to allow users to search their OPAC through Facebook, and other libraries are following suit.

Not all libraries, however, use social networking software to promote their services, some libraries view social networking software as too new, too trendy. Some libraries even have the websites for MySpace.com and Facebook.com banned in their libraries. This may be due to funding issues (See the ALA's site about DOPA http://www.ala.org/ala/washoff/WOissues/techinttele/iwa/iwa.htm) or it may be due to a library's management.

don't think Teddy B. shaves, at least I've never noticed anything out of the
ordinary with him/Louisville. He just plays for a defensive minded coach
that doesn't have the killer instant when it comes to blowing opponents out…
The game is about to start. I've got BYU +2.5 on a 3-team 10-point teaser, and I also have Boise State +17.5 on a 3-team teaser. Let's go BYU to win by 17 points or less!
Good luck to everyone's wagers on this game.
Where did you find those scores ? Out of a guy Jack Box ??
It's only 10-0 BYU and the 1st half is almost over! Good night kid.Looooooooooowwww scoring game boys.
Boise State can't tackle at all…
piece of work W8! After a daxn near perfect first half, that little crooked
axx Mormon mysteriously couldn't find his rhythm in the second half… That kid is crooked as a dog's hind leg…
any rate, excellent piece of work BYU and Under backers!

"Nintendo registers all [pokemon name].com names, even prior to the Pokemon being officially announced. If you look at the whois information for yveltal.com, fennekin.com, etc, then you can see that they were all registered on December 21 (well ahead of the announcement) with Melbourne IT.
These whois services usually offer a reverse IP lookup tool, which I believe would show all other domains registered by the company. domaintools.com shows "44,447 other sites hosted on this server.", which if you buy a report, you can see the list. From there (I think), it would simply be a case of looking which domains were registered on December 21, and we might get the rest of the Pokemon names?
I'm not sure if there are any free alternatives for reverse IP lookups. Everywhere I look seems to take a fee. Any ideas? It's not worth any of us regular folk to pay $x00 to (possibly) find out some Pokemon names, but perhaps fansite owners would see it as a worthwhile investment to break a big story?
Just wanted to put this idea out there"
I think They actually registered all of them..Think if this leak was true and someone took chespike.com then game freak should have to change the name or buy it from the owner.. nahh imo they do this stuff before announcing the games..

Automap is a fast map-based PHP autoloader. It resolves symbols using map files. These files are created offline by a program (included) which scans your script files and extracts their symbols. At runtime, map files are loaded by the main script and then used to resolve undefined symbols and load the corresponding PHP script files. An optional PECL extension is available to make it faster still.
Jailer is a database subsetting and browsing tool. It is a tool for data exporting, schema browsing, and rendering. It exports consistent, referentially intact row-sets from relational databases. It removes obsolete data without violating integrity. It is DBMS agnostic (by using JDBC), platform independent, and generates DbUnit datasets, hierarchically structured XML, and topologically sorted SQL-DML.
DKPro WSD provides UIMA components which encapsulate corpus readers, linguistic annotators, lexical semantic resources, WSD algorithms, and evaluation and reporting tools. You configure the components, or write new ones, and arrange them into a data processing pipeline. DKPro WSD is modular and flexible. Components which provide the same functionality can be freely swapped. You can easily run the same algorithm on different data sets, or test several different algorithms on the same data set.
