Upton deal is business as usual for Braves
When the Atlanta Braves were deep into a string of 14 consecutive postseason appearances between 1991 and 2005, general manager John Schuerholz began gathering his staff every Spring Training to toast the accomplishment.
The Braves won just one World Series in that stretch, and Schuerholz fretted that the focus sometimes was too much on what they hadn't done rather than what they had. So he reserved a day to tell his people how proud he was of them, and how proud they should be of all their good work.
"What they did was historic," he said.
Schuerholz saw 14 straight playoff appearances as a tribute not to one person or a handful of people, but to an entire organization. That includes the scouts who went out and found all that talent, the coaches and instructors who helped develop it and the men at the top, especially himself and manager Bobby Cox.
Schuerholz made significant changes to his roster almost every year, but the winning endured. Inside the industry, the Braves came to represent professionalism and a measuring stick for how to run a franchise.
And so it goes.
The Braves showed the world again on Thursday that they remain one of the smartest, most efficient operations in baseball. They're a team built, first and foremost, on the time-tested fundamentals of player development, and even with Schuerholz turning over day-to-day operation of the club to Frank Wren six years ago and Fredi Gonzalez taking over for Cox two years ago, the Braves keep doing things right.
Atlanta is on the verge of wrapping up a very nice offseason by acquiring outfielder Justin Upton from the D-backs. He'll join his brother, B.J. -- signed to a five-year deal earlier this winter -- and Jason Heyward to give Atlanta one of the most dynamic outfields baseball has had in a long time.
Whether the Braves have completely closed the gap on the Washington Nationals in the National League East is an argument that can be debated late into the night. All that's clear is that both teams are really good, and that the Braves have joined the Nationals, Giants, Dodgers, Cardinals and Reds in the "Best Team In the NL" discussion.
Wren was able to make those trades because, like Cox and Paul Snyder and other Atlanta executives before him, he's part of an operation that does everything right. Mid-revenue teams like the Braves can't compete with clubs like the Dodgers in the free-agent game, but they can still hold their own by doing great work in player development.
Thanks to a productive farm system, Atlanta has a manageable enough payroll that Wren could give B.J. Upton $75.2 million over five years. That's because Atlanta has relatively young homegrown players scattered all over the diamond: Heyward, first baseman Freddie Freeman, shortstop Andrelton Simmons and pitchers Mike Minor, Kris Medlen and Craig Kimbrel.
The farm system allowed Wren to win the Justin Upton sweepstakes. He made the deal without giving up prized pitching prospects J.R. Graham and Julio Teheran, Simmons or catcher Christian Bethancourt.
The Diamondbacks did fine, acquiring a pair of prized right-handed pitchers in Zeke Spruill and Randall Delgado, shortstop Nick Ahmed, infielder Brandon Drury and a third baseman, Martin Prado, who'll fill an immediate need.
But Atlanta's end of the deal is the most fascinating. Part of it is putting the Upton brothers in the same outfield to watch how they continue to grow as players and how they drive one another.
Both are high-energy guys; both are still getting better. Their skill levels are off the charts despite the high strikeout totals. They'll be impact players in the outfield and at the plate.
Again, no outfield in baseball is better, and if Medlen, Minor and Tim Hudson have big years and another young pitcher emerges, it could be a special season for the Braves.
The past four years have been frustrating for the Braves, considering the high standards they have for themselves. They've averaged 90 victories, but that number includes the meltdown at the end of 2011 and a '12 season that ended with a Wild Card loss to the Cardinals.
Still, they've reloaded again and appear to be right back in the mix. Just like always.

Nowadays, the different cell phone plans available are abundant. You don't really have to search for a plan that will keep you connected to family and friends while not destroying your budget. However, it is still important to understand just exactly what you need and how much it will cost before choosing a cell phone plan. You may think that one plan is the best, but you may be paying more for the same features than you would if you chose a similar carrier. When you do come across a cell phone plan that you are happy with, you'll want to compare it to other plans before making the switch. You can save both time and money by viewing many different cell phone carriers and features right here at Wirefly. We'll help you find the plan that is best for you and your wallet.
No matter how good the features or price on a cell phone plan look, it makes no sense to purchase that plan if it doesn't work in Jermyn, TX, or where you live or work. To that end, most of the country has become a hub of very fast and robust LTE coverage on all major carriers and MVNOs in the past few years. While AT&T and Verizon have had broad coverage and fast LTE networks in Jermyn, TX, carriers like T-Mobile and Sprint had often lagged behind in terms of coverage, LTE technology, and overall speed. This is not the case any longer.
Now, all four major carriers have the city and its entire suburban area covered with fast LTE technology. In fact, all four carriers score within just a few points of each other in tests of speed, quality of calls, text message reliability and delivery rates, and depth of coverage, in Jermyn, TX. This means that you now have more options to choose from, more features to benefit from, and more price points available than ever before. There is no need to compromise on any one metric, and you can really find the best plan for your needs.
Most Jermyn, TX residents desire cell phone service that gives them all the minutes they want, all the texting they care for, and lets them freely use data. Deciding on a wireless plan is determined by several aspects such as data limitations, available minutes, and texting restrictions.
When you rely on a cellular phone for the majority of your exchanges, it's very reassuring to have a mobile package that accommodates you fully. You can research various companies and plans on this site to determine the amount of money you can save if you already have a cellular plan. The three types of mobile plans are: individual plans, family plans, and prepaid plans.
With an individual plan, you have a single line with a single rate for talking, texting, and data sharing. It doesn't come with any other lines or hardware. If you are a single adult, then a personal cell phone plan could be your smartest option.
Family plans allow you to have a wireless line for every one of your family members. Although family plans cost more, they're still your best option if you require multiple lines. Their prices are cheaper compared to having multiple personal plans also. Family plans usually split texts, minutes, and data usage between members, so you'll want to find a plan that's large enough to accommodate your whole family's requirements.
Prepaid or pay-per-use plans are versatile with regard to their price structures. Pay-per-use service has improved considerably since prepaid mobile phone cards first arrived on the scene. It's easy to buy a no-contract phone at your favorite shopping center in Jermyn, TX and begin using it immediately. You pay just for how much you use it, but there may be extra charges. Additionally, phone costs are often more expensive unless you choose a very basic or inexpensive phone. A lot of prepaid mobile phone plans provide the most recent and cutting-edge smartphones also. Best of all, you aren't obligated to adhere to a contract.
With most contract plans, you'll have to be enrolled for at least two years, although a few service providers have one-year packages available. There is a fee you must pay every month, but you're required to keep on paying until the contract expires. If you decide to terminate it, you will be assessed an early cancellation charge, which means that any time remaining on your term will be added to the charge as a ratio along with an additional penalty.
Renewed competition in the American wireless industry means good things for consumers. In 2016, the price for a gigabyte of data declined drastically and unlimited data plans made a big comeback at major carriers and MVNOs alike. Now that coverage is relatively equal throughout the Jermyn, TX area, you can shop in entirely new ways, including by price, features, data buckets, or the availability of totally unlimited service.
When shopping for new plans, make sure to fully understand the terms and conditions associated with any offer, including promotional terms, billing credits, device financing restrictions, and other carrier-specific policies that may be in place. While these restrictions are uncommon, it's always better to understand their impact while shopping instead of when the 30-day buyer's remorse period has concluded.
So, you know the type of plan you need and you're impressed with the coverage at all four major carriers. Now what? The last step in choosing the best cell phone plan in Jermyn, TX, is to actually find the right mix of price and features. Thanks to relatively uniform coverage across all four major carriers, this process is easier in Jermyn, TX than it is in many other parts of the country. Here's what to know, based on popular types of plans:
Unlimited Data: Sprint and T-Mobile offer no-strings-attached unlimited data plans to all, which also include unlimited talking and texting. AT&T offers unlimited data to Internet or DIRECTV subscribers. Verizon doesn't offer unlimited data at all.
Unlimited Talk and Text: All four carriers have shifted to unlimited talk and text across all plans, except for one prepaid plan at T-Mobile.
Sharing Data: If you want to share data between family members, Sprint, Verizon and AT&T are the right fit. T-Mobile's limited data plans give each line its own data allotment.
International Coverage: Heading to overseas? Only T-Mobile offers free 'roam like home' talk, text, and LTE coverage in all of Mexico and Canada. Data at 2G speeds is also free on Sprint and T-Mobile around the world.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market. Shop with confidence knowing that Wirefly wants to help you find the best prices on cell phones, cell phone plans, TV, and Internet service.

The report shows Crysis as selling 86,633 units at retail since its November 13 release; the game's potential audience has no doubt been limited by the game's notoriously steep system requirements. Meanwhile, Unreal Tournament III saw considerably flatter sales, tallying 33,995 since its November 19 release. Prior to the release of this data, many gamers had predicted low sales based on the game's sparse player count; at the time of writing, its current online player count is actually below the single-player-oriented Crysis.
It should be noted that Unreal Tournament III in particular released about halfway into the month, with only two full business weeks of availability, though the numbers are undoubtedly lower than publisher Midway and developer Epic expected.

A giant cell tumor is one that is made up of a large number of benign (noncancerous) cells that form an aggressive tumor, usually near the end of the bone near a joint. The location of a giant cell tumor is often in the knee, but can also involve the bones of the arms and the legs, or the flat bones such as the sternum (breastbone) or pelvis.
Giant cell tumors most often occur in young adults when skeletal bone growth is complete. Most occur in the long bones of the legs and arms.
While the exact cause of giant cell tumors remains unknown, in some cases, they have been linked to Paget disease. Paget disease of the bone is a chronic bone disorder in which bones become enlarged and deformed.
The following are the most common symptoms of a giant cell tumor. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of a giant cell tumor may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for giant cell tumors may include the following:
Specific treatment for giant cell tumors will be determined by your doctor based on:
The goal for treatment of a giant cell tumor is to remove the tumor and prevent damage to the affected bone. Treatment may include:
Tumors that cannot be removed surgically can often be controlled and sometimes be destroyed with radiation therapy. New therapies are being sought for giant cell tumors of bone, and recent clinical trials of the drug Denosumab have been promising. For unresectable tumors, ask your doctor about clinical trials.
Giant cell tumors can recur. Follow-up with a doctor may be required for several years.

According to the CDC, vaccine-preventable childhood diseases in the United States are near an all-time low. But, some viruses and bacteria are still active and can cause serious illness. It's important that all children, especially infants and young children, receive recommended immunizations on time. In other countries, many vaccine-preventable diseases are relatively common. Because of travel, these diseases could return to the U.S., resulting in increased, and unnecessary, illness, disability, and death among children.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants be fully immunized or vaccinated to help decrease the risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Immunizations start at birth. The first immunization given is the hepatitis B vaccine. Listed below are some facts about hepatitis B:
The hepatitis B vaccine will prevent this disease. This vaccine is given to nearly all newborns. Additional doses are given before age 18 months. If newborns are exposed to hepatitis B before, during, or after birth, both the vaccine and a special hepatitis B immune globulin dose are given within 12 hours of birth. The CDC recommends that all babies complete the hepatitis B vaccine series between age 6 months and 18 months to be fully protected against hepatitis B infection.

Did you know that "The Future Begins Today?" Well it does, according to the four Bay Area regional agencies meeting right now in Oaktown.
That's right, it's Alphabet Soupalooza 2010 and it's going off at the Marriott City Center in the 510. All your faves are there:
Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG)
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)
Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD)
Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC)
Put them all together and you get ABAGMTCBAAQMDBCDC! (Or OneBayArea.org, take your pick.)
All the deets:
Region Celebrates Earth Day With Launch of 'One Bay Area' Collaborative Effort at ABAG General Assembly and Summit
Regional Agencies and Local Governments Join Together to Chart Course to Meet Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets
OAKLAND, Calif., April 22 — Four Bay Area regional agencies today are launching a major outreach initiative, One Bay Area, at a regional assembly bringing together 350 Bay Area city and county elected officials, regional leaders and community stakeholders at the Oakland Marriott City Center. The regional agency partners — the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) — are coming together in a joint General Assembly and summit to mark the beginning of development of the SB 375 Sustainable Communities Strategy for the Bay Area. SB 375 refers to landmark legislation (authored by Daryl Steinberg and passed by the California Legislature in 2008) requiring regions in California to develop strategies for combating climate change and promoting sustainable communities.
"One Bay Area" harnesses the resources of regional agencies, local governments, county congestion management agencies, local planning and public works directors, city and county managers, public transit agencies, community members and stakeholder groups. These agencies must work together to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced by cars and light trucks in the region over the next 10-25 years. These efforts will be showcased on a new website launched today, located at www.OneBayArea.org.

More consumer-friendly provisions of the recently passed fiscal cliff deal that was signed into law by President Barack Obama Thursday morning keep surfacing.
Under a provision authored by Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., underwater homeowners whose banks forgive a portion of their mortgage will not face huge new tax bills this year.
Stabenow's Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Relief Act, which is extended for another year, stops the IRS from taxing mortgage forgiveness as income in the case of a short sale, refinancing or foreclosure, protecting families who own underwater homes and work with their lenders from being unfairly hit with an additional tax bill. The law was first signed by President George W. Bush in 2007 but set to expire at the end of 2012.
Michigan is fifth in the nation in underwater mortgages, with nearly one in three homes underwater (over 440,000 homes across the state), according to a statement released by Stabenow's office.
"It was extremely important that Congress was able to come together to make sure families whose homes are underwater don't get hit with a huge new tax bill they don't deserve," said Stabenow, in the release. "Across Michigan and across the country, many middle-class families are still working to recover from the global financial crisis that sent home values plummeting. If Congress had not included this provision, the housing market could have taken a big hit just as it is starting to turn the corner."
Gary Thomas, president of the National Association of Realtors, said in the same statement that "Realtors are appreciative of Sen. Stabenow's efforts to secure an extension of tax relief for forgiven mortgage debt. The extension will help many troubled borrowers who were uncertain about their future, and is vital to the nation's recovering housing market and economy."
Before Stabenow's original bill was signed into law, if a family owed $150,000 on their home but could only sell it for $100,000, and the bank forgives the remaining $50,000 of the mortgage, the IRS treated this $50,000 as taxable income. "That would mean an average middle class family would have to pay an additional $12,500 in income taxes on top of their regular income taxes," Stabenow said. Stabenow's law "stopped this from happening for five years from 2008 through 2012, but would have expired for 2013 if it had not been extended."

- Simulation of quasistatic deformations using discrete rod models (2008)
- Recently we developed a discrete model of elastic rods with symmetric cross section suitable for a fast simulation of quasistatic deformations [33]. The model is based on Kirchhoff's geometrically exact theory of rods. Unlike simple models of "mass & spring" type typically used in VR applications, our model provides a proper coupling of bending and torsion. The computational approach comprises a variational formulation combined with a finite difference discretization of the continuum model. Approximate solutions of the equilibrium equations for sequentially varying boundary conditions are obtained by means of energy minimization using a nonlinear CG method. As the computational performance of our model yields solution times within the range of milliseconds, our approach proves to be sufficient to simulate an interactive manipulation of such flexible rods in virtual reality applications in real time.
- OPTCAST - Entwicklung adäquater Strukturoptimierungsverfahren für Gießereien (2005)
- Im vorliegenden Bericht werden die Erfahrungen und Ergebnisse aus dem Projekt OptCast zusammengestellt. Das Ziel dieses Projekts bestand (a) in der Anpassung der Methodik der automatischen Strukturoptimierung für Gussteile und (b) in der Entwicklung und Bereitstellung von gießereispezifischen Optimierungstools für Gießereien und Ingenieurbüros. Gießtechnische Restriktionen lassen sich nicht vollständig auf geometrische Restriktionen reduzieren, da die lokalen Eigenschaften nicht nur von der geometrischen Form des Gussteils, sondern auch vom verwendeten Material abhängen. Sie sind jedoch über eine Gießsimulation (Erstarrungssimulation und Eigenspannungsanalyse) adäquat erfassbar. Wegen dieser Erkenntnis wurde ein neuartiges Topologieoptimierungsverfahren unter Verwendung der Level-Set-Technik entwickelt, bei dem keine variable Dichte des Materials eingeführt wird. In jeder Iteration wird ein scharfer Rand des Bauteils berechnet. Somit ist die Gießsimulation in den iterativen Optimierungsprozess integrierbar.
- On the Performance of Certain Iterative Solvers for Coupled Systems Arising in Discretization of Non-Newtonian Flow Equations (2004)
- Iterative solution of large scale systems arising after discretization and linearization of the unsteady non-Newtonian Navier–Stokes equations is studied. cross WLF model is used to account for the non-Newtonian behavior of the fluid. Finite volume method is used to discretize the governing system of PDEs. Viscosity is treated explicitely (e.g., it is taken from the previous time step), while other terms are treated implicitly. Different preconditioners (block–diagonal, block–triangular, relaxed incomplete LU factorization, etc.) are used in conjunction with advanced iterative methods, namely, BiCGStab, CGS, GMRES. The action of the preconditioner in fact requires inverting different blocks. For this purpose, in addition to preconditioned BiCGStab, CGS, GMRES, we use also algebraic multigrid method (AMG). The performance of the iterative solvers is studied with respect to the number of unknowns, characteristic velocity in the basic flow, time step, deviation from Newtonian behavior, etc. Results from numerical experiments are presented and discussed.
- On the frame-invariant description of the phase space of the Folgar-Tucker equation (2003)
- The Folgar-Tucker equation is used in flow simulations of fiber suspensions to predict fiber orientation depending on the local flow. In this paper, a complete, frame-invariant description of the phase space of this differential equation is presented for the first time.
- Multibody dynamics simulation of geometrically exact Cosserat rods (2009)
- In this paper, we present a viscoelastic rod model that is suitable for fast and sufficiently accurate dynamic simulations. It is based on Cosserat's geometrically exact theory of rods and is able to represent extension, shearing ('stiff ' dof), bending and torsion ('soft' dof). For inner dissipation, a consistent damping potential from Antman is chosen. Our discrete model is based on a finite difference discretisation on a staggered grid. The right-hand side function f and the Jacobian ∂f/∂(q, v, t) of the dynamical system q˙ = v, v˙ = f(q, v, t) – after index reduction from three to zero – is free of higher algebraic (e.g. root) or transcendent (e.g. trigonometric or exponential) functions and is therefore cheap to evaluate. For the time integration of the system, we use well established stiff solvers like RADAU5 or DASPK. As our model yields computation times within milliseconds, it is suitable for interactivemanipulation in 'virtual reality' applications. In contrast to fast common VR rod models, our model reflects the structural mechanics solutions sufficiently correct, as comparison with ABAQUS finite element results shows.
- Fast simulation of quasistatic rod deformations for VR applications (2008)
- Summary. We present a model of exible rods | based on Kirchhoff\\\'s geometrically exact theory | which is suitable for the fast simulation of quasistatic deformations within VR or functional DMU applications. Unlike simple models of \\\"mass & spring\\\" type typically used in VR applications, our model provides a proper coupling of bending and torsion. The computational approach comprises a variational formulation combined with a nite dierence discretization of the continuum model. Approximate solutions of the equilibrium equations for sequentially varying boundary conditions are obtained by means of energy minimization using a nonlinear CG method. The computational performance of our model proves to be sucient for the interactive manipulation of exible cables in assembly simulation.
- Discrete Lagrangian mechanics and geometrically exact Cosserat rods (2009)
- Inspired by Kirchhoff's kinetic analogy, the special Cosserat theory of rods is formulatedin the language of Lagrangian mechanics. A static rod corresponds to an abstract Lagrangian system where the energy density takes the role of the Lagrangian function. The equilibrium equations are derived from a variational principle. Noether's theorem relates their first integrals to frame-indifference, isotropy and uniformity. These properties can be formulated in terms of Lie group symmetries. The rotational degrees of freedom, present in the geometrically exact beam theory, are represented in terms of orthonormal director triads. To reduce the number of unknowns, Lagrange multipliers associated with the orthonormality constraints are eliminated using null-space matrices. This is done both in the continuous and in the discrete setting. The discrete equilibrium equations are used to compute discrete rod configurations, where different types of boundary conditions can be handled.
- A discrete mechanics approach to Cosserat rod theory – Part 1: static equilibria (2010)
- A theory of discrete Cosserat rods is formulated in the language of discrete Lagrangian mechanics. By exploiting Kirchho's kinetic analogy, the potential energy density of a rod is a function on the tangent bundle of the conguration manifold and thus formally corresponds to the Lagrangian function of a dynamical system. The equilibrium equations are derived from a variational principle using a formulation that involves null{space matrices. In this formulation, no Lagrange multipliers are necessary to enforce orthonormality of the directors. Noether's theorem relates rst integrals of the equilibrium equations to Lie group actions on the conguration bundle, so{called symmetries. The symmetries relevant for rod mechanics are frame{indierence, isotropy and uniformity. We show that a completely analogous and self{contained theory of discrete rods can be formulated in which the arc{length is a discrete variable ab initio. In this formulation, the potential energy density is dened directly on pairs of points along the arc{length of the rod, in analogy to Veselov's discrete reformulation of Lagrangian mechanics. A discrete version of Noether's theorem then identies exact rst integrals of the discrete equilibrium equations. These exact conservation properties confer the discrete solutions accuracy and robustness, as demonstrated by selected examples of application. Copyright c 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Who knew that the week of finals could include a free massage, cozy visiting time with rescued puppies, and a gingerbread house decorating adventure? Among the most stressful weeks of the year for any student, the last week of the semester is traditionally a time when everything is pushed aside to make room for long hours of studying and finishing off projects and papers.
"During this busy time of year we want to bring students opportunities to unwind an relax without the stress of classes," says Megan Joyce, assistant director of Student Services, "and these events help accomplish that." Many students welcome the distraction. Some even decorated their gingerbread houses to fit their studies, like Whitney White, who is studying for a joint degree in Business Administration and International Environmental Policy Studies (MAIEP/MBA '14). Along with her friend Dawnielle Jacobson (MATI '14), she designed Santa's environmentally friendly dream house. They said their concept was very fitting for someone who steers away from fossil fuels anyway, as Santa relies on reindeer for his travels… "We gave him six solar panels for his house, and we have it oriented towards the south to take advantage of sunlight, and we also added a wind turbine for a little more energy."
To all of our students: keep calm and good luck on those finals!

Canada's record in bringing Nazi war criminals to justice has earned the country yet another failing grade, according to a report by the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Israel office.
Canada joined Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Australia and Austria with an "F-2: Failure in practice" mark, states Worldwide Investigation and Prosecution of Nazi War Criminals, the centre's annual report.
The mark refers to "countries in which there are no legal obstacles to the investigation and prosecution of suspected Nazi war criminals, but whose efforts (or lack thereof) have resulted in complete failure… primarily due to the absence of political will to proceed."
Canada has been given failing grades for several years. According to data compiled in the report, Canada has not filed a single new case since 2003-04 and there have been no new convictions in four years. Efraim Zuroff, author of the report, said Canada's grade should improve next year, as the report will take into account the recent decision of the federal cabinet to strip Helmut Oberlander of his citizenship. Oberlander was a translator in a Nazi killing squad.
Zuroff said there are currently 1,138 investigations underway in 10 countries. A very small number will ever reach trial, perhaps 10 to 15, he suggested.
The report found that in the year up to March 31, 2012, 10 individuals were convicted on charges related to Nazi war crimes, including Ivan (John) Demjanjuk, a guard at the Sobibor death camp.
During the period under review, cases were initiated against six suspects, five in Italy and one in Spain. Germany, Italy and the United States were the only countries to receive an "A" grade, while Spain, along with Hungary and Serbia, were given "B."
The report noted that in the 18 years since Canada shifted to the civil remedies of denaturalization and deportation, 21 cases have been initiated, of which 10 could be considered successes.
Two of the 10 suspects left the country voluntarily, but "to date… not a single one of the eight persons who appealed against the decision has been deported and seven of the eight have since died in Canada." Six others died in the course of proceedings against them.
"I know Canadians hate being compared to Americans, but the fact is that the Nazi war criminals and collaborators [in the countries] are the same," Zuroff said. The United States has a much better record of deporting Nazi war criminals. From 2001 to March 31, 2012, the United States was responsible for 39 of the 99 convictions registered worldwide.
"The results achieved by the Americans clearly underscores the professional excellence and dedication of the [Justice Department] agency and the critical role played by political will in the prosecution of Holocaust perpetrators," the report states.
Zuroff said the centre's "most wanted" list includes several with ties to Canada. Ladislaus Csizsik-Csatary, who left Canada rather than face deportation, currently lives under house arrest in Hungary. He was charged on July 17, 2012, with torturing Jews in the Kosice, Slovakia, ghetto. Csizsik-Csatary served as a senior Hungarian police officer in Kosice, where he allegedly helped organize the deportation of 15,700 Jews to Auschwitz in the spring of 1944.
Another Canadian high on the list of most wanted is Vladimir Katriuk. Katriuk was stripped of his Canadian citizenship in 1999, but in 2007, a Federal Court reinstated it. The Wiesenthal Center says subsequent research by Swedish historian Per Anders Rudling implicates Katriuk personally in war crimes in Belarus. Zuroff said he has forwarded the new information to Canadian authorities but Rudling has not been contacted by Canadian prosecutors.
Contacted by The CJN, the Justice Department declined to comment on specific cases. However, department spokesperson Stephen Slesso stated, "Since 1987, the government of Canada has upheld its policy to ensure that this country does not become a safe haven for people involved in war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide… The government remains committed to identifying, preventing entry, locating, apprehending, prosecuting, detaining and removing those individuals who pose a safety and security risk or threat to Canada."
Zuroff, author of Operation Last Chance, acknowledged that little time remains to bring Nazi war criminals to justice. It may be that Canadian governments of all political persuasions "never considered this a priority," he said. "And it's possible the Jewish community lost interest and considers it an issue that's going nowhere."
That's an assertion that Shimon Fogel disputes. Fogel, CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) said bringing Nazis to justice "is a priority for us. It has been for the last three decades."
CIJA did push for a fresh look at the Oberlander case, which led to the revocation of his citizenship, but it is aware of only two other suspects – Katriuk and Wasyl Odynsky – who could be subject to legal actions.
"It's not that the government is not willing to investigate cases. There are no cases," Fogel said. "I think the government is not just implicitly but explicitly committed to this."
"I don't think the government is hesitant or shy to do the right thing about alleged Nazi war criminals. The reality is that in 2013, and each year after, it becomes less likely to find people still living that fit in that category," he said.

I posted awhile an image that showed off the giant picture I made for my girls' room – finally, the tutorial is here! It was so cheap – around $13 (that's $8 for the print, and another $5 worth of an $11 foam board because you won't need to use the whole board….)
I put the image on a jump drive data stick thingy and took it with me to the office store. I'm sure you could email them the image as well.
Then head off to the office store and ask for "the biggest engineer's print you can make" and hand over your jump drive. Mine is 4 feet by 3 feet, which didn't seem that big til I hung it in their room and BAM, it's gigantic, but I'm okay with it. Anyways, it was about $8.
They warned me that it wouldn't be "photo-quality" – – but hey, for $8, it was good enough for me!
I snapped a quick picture of the picture so you can see the quality — up close it's not dead-on crisp, but who's looking that close anyways. And it's not pixely at all…this is the bangs of the daughter on the right…
Update: Some readers have reported that their office store will no longer do a photo as an Engineer print – I hope that's not widespread, because these are AWESOME.
Now that you have your picture, you'll need to put it on something – so I talk about that next…

When asked by patrons to recommend a "good book", I used to always ask, what do you like to read? I don't use this tactic much anymore because I've learned something over the years… readers want to know about what other readers like to read. Often folks secretly desire to learn about something new to them. They don't always want to read things that are just like the last book they read, even when they loved that last book they read. In that spirit, I'd like to recommend four very different titles that I've enjoyed in the past few months. All were enjoyed as audiobooks but they are also available as print books. I hope you find a new favorite.
The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg- I will buy this book today! I just recommended it to a close friend this past week as we discussed how to break a shared habit. Duhigg states in the prologue, "We know why habits emerge, how they change, and the science behind their mechanics… Transforming a habit isn't necessarily easy or quick. It isn't always simple. But it is possible. And now we understand how." I was hooked and I had to listen to the end. The practical advice and clearly explained neuroscience / psychological evidence was compelling. His explanation of how to break a habit by studying it's cycle or "loop" will encourage you to tackle whatever issue you want to deal with and overcome. If you subscribe to the Self-Help NextReads newsletter that I created and edit (shameless plug for signing up here), you'll recognize it as a featured title from the January 2013 edition. The Power of Habit was also named one of the best books of the year by The Wall Street Journal- Financial Times.
Political Suicide by Michael Palmer- I just loved this title and when it was returned to my branch, I decided to give it a try. I had never read a book by Palmer before but I devoured this one in a couple of days. Once again, I "read" this as an audiobook but the action was so intense that I often stayed in the car or drove around the block to finish a chapter. What begins as a seemingly hopeless defense of a fellow doctor who has been accused of murdering the wife of his lover, becomes an intense, complicated investigation of a top secret military project aimed at radically changing how soldiers are prepared for and engage in counter-terrorist operations. If you are interested in military drama and political intrigue then you should love this latest offering by Palmer. This is Palmer's second Dr. Lou Welcome thriller (after 2011's Oath of Office). He is reminiscent of Michael Crichton and Robin Cook.
The Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell- Oh what more can I say about the one author on this list who has captured my literary heart so completely that I've read and own every book he's written. Gladwell's book has been widely quoted and cited in five short years since its publication. His keen observations of how timing, community and plain old good luck are more often than not the real impetus behind highly successful people are laid out in an engaging read. I found myself thinking very differently about the opportunities for success that I've had due to the people around me and the time period in which I am living. This will be a discussion starter with your friends and family. I highly recommend listening to this as an audiobook because it is read by the author.
The Jefferson Key by Steve Berry. This was recommended to me by my supervisor and was the first Berry title I've read. Oh my! The action and historical detail were equally rich. This book and indeed all of Berry's books revolves around a strong sense of place. Bath, NC and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello home are just as important as any of the people in terms of moving the plot along. You will never read the Constitution in the same way either. Hint: start with Article I, Section 8. Government sanctioned piracy, articles of marque, attempted assassination and a race to decipher a centuries-old code. Are you excited yet? Read the book and you will understand. If you enjoyed The Da Vinci Code or the National Treasure movies, you'll enjoy this offering. If you didn't like either one, that's OK. This is so extremely well-written; you will be recommending it to your friends! The Jefferson Key is the 7th book in the Cotton Malone series.

Thus declares easily recognizable Half-Life NPC Dr. Isaac Kleiner, set against one of the main menu screens of Half-Life 2: Episode One that you get after booting up the game about halfway through. It is an interesting counterpart to the first menu screen of Valve's last game in its Half-Life series. In the original Half-Life 2, there was a strikingly serene picture of City 17, punctuated by ominous bursts of Combine radio chatter suggesting that the ostensibly peaceful scene is merely the calm before the storm. Not so in that of Episode One, which for me loaded up to a scene that is equally static, but now a product of the chaos that erupted at the end of Half-Life 2. Rubble and dead Combine soldiers littered the streets, ash rained from the sky, and an instructional monologue from Dr. Kleiner was being broadcast via one of the screens that used to air Dr. Breen's comforting messages. Kleiner discussed evacuation of the city, the triumph of human will over the Combine--and, to explain that quote above, which I found difficult to resist including, the fact that due to the events of the end of Half-Life 2, humans' reproductive functions are no longer being suppressed and now is indeed the perfect time to ensure that the race is repopulated as soon as possible.
In many ways, the game is quite clearly a direct followup to the 2004 game: the story picks up right afterward, though improved visually the game is clearly running on the same graphics engine, the setting of City 17 is quite familiar, and there are no new main characters introduced. However, the actual pacing and gameplay dynamic of the game is different in many ways. Its loading screen, with Kleiner's both dire and hopeful address lightened up with the occasional bit of levity, is somewhat reflective of that dynamic. Throughout essentially the whole game, you'll be accompanied by Eli Vance's daughter Alyx from Half-Life 2. Fortunately, she always seems to be able to care of herself; I never found myself frustrated because of dumb buddy AI. Her presence has a significant effect on the tone, cracking jokes during slower moments and sounding genuinely apprehensive during more nervewracking sequences. She's always strong and resolute, but serves to amplify or augment the emotions of a given scene with a broad range of comments; despite the shorter length of Episode One, she no doubt has significantly more lines of speech than in her debut game.
In Half-Life and, to a slightly lesser degree, Half-Life 2, the bulk of gameplay is tackled alone, but it's not just that; the games have a deliberate feeling of isolation and desperation brought on by the excellent pacing and sense that a lot of things really are going wrong and, well, you better hurry it up and get to wherever it is you're going and killing whatever it is that needs to be killed so that whatever it is that's going wrong will end up fixed. That kind of strong but ambiguous sense of purpose and direction is a common theme in the Half-Life universe, and is largely explored by way of Gordon's crucial but still unexplained relationship with the mysterious G-Man. Episode One, though, begins to imply a loss of control on the part of the G-Man--and Alyx is there to give Gordon's puzzle-solving and rampaging a more direct sense of purpose.
Previously in Half-Life games, you'd get to a puzzle section, figure it out, think "Well, it's lucky that all these useful components were right here," then continue on to the next firefight or puzzle, perhaps noticing how convenient it is that everything always seems to fall into place for Gordon. This time around, though, it doesn't feel quite so deliberately engineered, which fits the game's theme of loss of control. Alyx is there to vocalize reactions, which sometimes give you hints on how you might proceed, and which sometimes echo the thoughts you're having. She'll often become frustrated at having to take a long detour, just like you probably are, but those human reactions in a sense remove a lot of the "deus ex machina" feeling of the games; when the game itself has this character that usually feels the same way you do about what's going on, the whole thing somehow feels more believable. Furthermore, she'll sometimes help you out with puzzles or, more frequently, back you up with firepower while you figure out how to proceed. Some players may miss the isolation of the other Half-Life games, which allows them to be paced more at the player's will, but this is definitely a well implemented gameplay change.
Speaking of pacing, Valve clearly had a goal of high gameplay density in Episode One. We've known for months now that these episodic titles will deliver fewer hours of content than we saw in previous Half-Life epics, but to compensate for that, this game is truly non-stop from start to finish. For the record, it took me five hours, almost to the minute. Again, because Alyx is helping you, there is less of a need to separate combat and puzzle-solving. During many puzzles, the combat doesn't fully stop; for example, there are a few scenarios in which Alyx will do her best to hold off waves of enemies while you figure out a way to block off their means of approach. There are a few moments of complete calm, but for the most part this is a game that you will most likely not want to stop playing. The whole time, you'll feel compelled to "just finish this part," which will lead into the next part very fluidly, and so on. Without the sharp divisions of gameplay that segmented Half-Life 2, everything feels more organic and urgent. Plus, while in Half-Life 2, you're working towards a grand goal, in Episode One you're mainly trying to fix or just run away from the ramifications of that goal, which adds to the urgency.
Alyx has been outfitted with a whole lot of new animations, and along with the rest of the game is visually updated in terms of polygon count and additional visual effects. She has some great "dynamically scripted" actions, for example delivering a strong kick to an enemy that happens to get too close. Quite often, you'll hear Alyx but not see her, since you're dealing with enemies or puzzles yourself, which makes it all the more enjoyable when you happen to glance over and see her smash an enemy with the butt of her rifle as a finishing move. She's also got plenty fo say about what's happening; the first time we encountered those horrible black headcrabs, the spindly-legged poisonous ones, I muttered a curse under my breath. I was a bit startled when she exclaimed "I hate those things!" immediately afterwards.
To befit her role as a strong action heroine, Alyx has been outfitted with some new shaders, such as subtle rim lighting that makes her stand out in the game environments. High dynamic range lighting, introduced to the Source engine in the free Lost Coast level, has also been added to the game. It is used to much better effect than in Lost Coast, where HDR seemed to be deliberately exaggerated to show off what the the technology was capable of. Here, it is more subtle and natural. While most of the visual improvements are beautiful, I have to admit I have somewhat mixed feelings about some of them, particular the highlights on Alyx. One of the things I really love about the look of Half-Life 2 is its lack of reliance on a lot of the really obvious pixel shaders that most first person shooters pack on to replace an absense of real art direction. The game's muted color palette and impressive but subtle lighting gave everything a sort of documentary-like feel which, for me, greatly enhanced the overall atmosphere of the game. That feeling is not quite as present in Episode One, coming off a bit more like an action film rather than the raw depiction of events that one would want to make an action film about. This is a minor complaint, really, and one I do not expect everyone to share.
Unsurprisingly, all aspects of audio are up to the staggeringly high Valve standard. Most first person shooters make an effort to go all out with the weapon sound effects, while things like music and voice acting are best left undiscussed, but this has never been the case with Half-Life. Alyx voice, which you'll be hearing quite a lot during the game, is excellently acted and recorded, as are those of the other familiar characters you'll encounter. The rest of the sound design is essentially what you would expect; you'll recognize most of the sounds, but they're still just as effective. The game's music, however, deserves a special mention. Music has always been used minimally in Half-Life games, and that doesn't change here. However, it does seem that the range of instrumentation has been improved on the part of the composer, and there is one memorable piece in particular that is more chaotic than anything I remember from past Half-Life soundtracks. As usual, the decisions of when to break out the rare instances of music are still somewhat of a mystery to me, but that just makes it all the more exciting when one of the driving beat-heavy tracks kicks in and you feel endowed with a particularly strong heroic purpose.
All in all, Half-Life 2: Episode One doesn't offer a revolutionary experience over its predecessor. What it does offer is significant improvements in just about every meaningful area of gameplay: pacing, variety of puzzles, overall density, and so on. It's a much shorter experience, but it is by no means like five hours taken out of a larger game. No, this is a larger game compressed into a five hour block. That in itself is something of an achievement; it really is absolutely packed with action to a degree that you simply never see in games that take twenty hours to complete, because that kind of development would be impractical. It makes up for the fact that a lot of assets have been reused, if touched up, and the weapon selection is identical to that of the previous game. You'll be doing so many new things in those environments, and you'll be in so many different situations with those weapons, and it's packed so full that you won't feel short changed.
It all really illustrates how little evolution usually goes on in the world of single-player shooters. While most developers spend time thinking up new weapons and making new environments, the actual game experience isn't changing all that much. Probably because they wanted to get a product out in 18 months instead of six years like it took last time, Valve has hung on to the existing weapons and many of the environment design, but that development time went into improving and polishing the gameplay to an astonishing level of quality. There are a couple specific puzzles that are used perhaps once too often, and it continues to be a bit frustrating that the super gravity gun can pick up this huge boulder here but not that little bit of rubble over there, but these are complaints that are made more out of a sense of duty to have a few complaints than because they're significant flaws. It is hard to describe without spoiling specific scenarios just how much you'll be doing in the game. As you would expect, of course, there are still some great old fashioned battle sequences, and the game ramps up to these. Early in the game, there is a great deal of puzzle solving, as the working relationship with Alyx is introduced. As the game progresses, however, it gets more and more frantic, and towards the end there are two battles that stick in my mind as some of the most memorable I've had in recent gaming memory.
Oh, and regarding the story, in case you were wondering, you're not going to get tons and tons of answers; you'll get a few explanations and hints, but mainly--and you should be used to this by now--more questions. Roll on, Episode Two.

(Resting RNA, MUGA, Gated Blood Pool Scan [Resting], Gated Cardiac Scan, Resting Gated Blood Pool Scan, Cardiac Blood Pool Imaging)
Resting radionuclide angiogram (RNA) is a type of nuclear medicine procedure. This means that a tiny amount of a radioactive substance, called a radionuclide (radiopharmaceutical or radioactive tracer), is used during the procedure to assist in the examination of the tissue under study. Specifically, resting RNA evaluates the heart's chambers in motion.
A radionuclide (usually technetium) will be injected into an arm vein to "tag" the blood cells so their progress through the heart can be traced with a scanner. A special camera (gamma camera) will make recordings of the heart wall at work, like a motion picture. These recordings will be synchronized with the heartbeat by using the electrocardiogram (ECG, or recording of the heart's electrical activity).
A doctor specially trained in nuclear cardiology will study the films to evaluate the heart's pumping function and ejection fraction (the volume of blood pumped out with each heartbeat).
If the heart muscle does not move in a normal manner, and/or a less-than-normal amount of blood is pumped out by the heart, this may indicate one or more of the following:
Other related procedures that may be used to assess the heart include resting or exercise electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), Holter monitor, signal-averaged ECG, cardiac catheterization, chest X-ray, computed tomography (CT scan) of the chest, echocardiography, electrophysiological studies, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart, myocardial perfusion scans, and cardiac CT scan. Please see these procedures for additional information.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the narrowing of the coronary arteries (the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle), caused by a buildup of fatty material within the walls of the arteries. This process leads the inside of the arteries to become rough and narrowed, limiting the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
To better understand how coronary artery disease affects the heart, a review of basic heart anatomy and function follows.
The heart is basically a pump. The heart is made up of specialized muscle tissue called the myocardium. The heart's primary function is to pump blood throughout the body, so that the body's tissues can receive oxygen and nutrients and have waste substances taken away.
Like any pump, the heart requires fuel in order to work. The myocardium requires oxygen and nutrients, just like any other tissue in the body. However, the blood that passes through the heart's chambers is only passing through on its trip through the body. This blood does not give oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium. The myocardium receives its oxygen and nutrients from the coronary arteries, which lie on the outside of the heart.
When the heart tissue does not receive an adequate blood supply, it cannot function as well as it should. If the myocardium's blood supply is decreased for a length of time, a condition called ischemia may develop. Ischemia can decrease the heart's pumping ability because the heart muscle becomes weakened due to a lack of oxygen.
If the blood supply to the heart muscle continues to decrease as a result of increasing obstruction of a coronary artery, a myocardial infarction, or heart attack, may occur. If the blood flow cannot be restored to the particular area of the heart muscle affected, the tissue dies.
Fortunately, the technology is available to restore blood flow to heart tissue when coronary artery blockages are diagnosed. One of several procedures used to diagnose and evaluate coronary artery disease is RNA.
Reasons for your doctor to request a resting RNA include, but are not limited to, the following:
If a screening examination (such as an ECG) suggests a possibility of some type of heart disease process that needs to be explored further, a resting RNA may be performed.
There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend a resting RNA procedure.
The amount of the radionuclide injected into your vein for the procedure is small enough that there is no need for precautions against radioactive exposure. The injection of the radionuclide may cause some sight discomfort. Allergic reactions to the radionuclide are rare.
If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, you should notify your health care provider due to the risk of injury to the fetus from myocardial perfusion scan. Radiation exposure during pregnancy may lead to birth defects. If you are lactating, or breastfeeding, you should notify your health care provider due to the risk of contaminating breast milk with the radionuclide.
Patients who are allergic to or sensitive to medications, contrast dyes, iodine, or latex should notify their doctor.
There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to the procedure.
Nicotine in cigarettes may cause spasm in the coronary arteries, which could affect the test results.
A resting RNA may be performed on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices.
Generally, a resting RNA follows this process:
You should move slowly when getting up from the scanner table to avoid any dizziness or lightheadedness from lying flat for the length of the procedure.
You will be instructed to drink plenty of fluids and empty your bladder frequently for 24 to 48 hours after the test to help flush the remaining radionuclide from your body.
The IV site will be checked for any signs of redness or swelling. If you notice any pain, redness, and/or swelling at the IV site after you return home following your procedure, you should notify your doctor as this may indicate an infection or other type of reaction.
Your doctor may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.

Yellowtail, California – U.S. California, Gillnet (Hiramasa)
California Yellowtail are found and caught commercially off California and Baja California, Mexico. They reach sexual maturity at an early age, but are relatively slow growing and known to form spawning aggregations
Catches of California Yellowtail have fluctuated greatly over the years, tending to be greater during El Nino events when waters are warmer and much less during cool, La Nina events. Abundance levels of California Yellowtail populations are not known.
California Yellowtail are captured with both set and drift gillnets and handlines. The gillnet fisheries catch some unintended species of concern, including humpback whales and white sharks.
Management of the California Yellowtail fisheries is moderately effective. Management regulations include a minimum size limit and restricted fishing areas.

|Sounds good, right?
|Important inside shot.
Here's the breakdown map, so you can see what I'm talking about, they're not too complicated, and unlike their deep fried prototype, I'm willing to make this simpler kind a lot more. Plus, the Soy Curls get the best texture once they soak up the buffalo sauce.
The recipe for these is below, but if you want a neat n clean .pdf you can print off, just click on the photo above! Also, in case you're a fan of following blogs 'n such on Facebook, I finally made a Cake Maker to the Stars page over yonder.
Buffalo Salad Rolls
Longer Directions:
- 2 cups Soy Curls
- Boiling water to cover
- 2 tablespoons sorghum flour (any type of flour would work)
- 2 tablespoons fine cornmeal
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- hefty pinch ground chipotle powder
- salt to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons canola oil, for baking
- Preheat oven to 425F and grease a parchment lined baking sheet with 2 tablespoons canola oil.
- Hydrate the Soy Curls in enough boiling water to cover. Let rest until softened (about 10 minutes), then drain and squeeze out very well. Transfer to a medium-large bowl.
- Combine the Soy Curls with the flour, cornmeal, spices and salt. Mix well until they're all covered, you only have a little flour mix left over in the bottom of the bowl.
- Spread evenly over the prepared sheet and bake stirring occasionally until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons natural ketchup
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or agave)
- 2 ½ tablespoons hot sauce (like Red Hot)
- Mix well with a fork until the ingredients are emulsified.
- When the Soy Curls have cooled to a manageable temperature, toss them with enough of the sauce to coat well. While they rest and absorb the sauce, prepare the rest of your ingredients and boil your noodles.
- 1-2 celery stalks, finely sliced
- 1-2 carrots, shredded or julienned
- 1/3 package of white rice noodles (vermicelli), boiled until tender and drained
- rice paper wrappers
- fresh basil, mint or cilantro
- Fill a pan or try large enough to accommodate your wrappers with warm water. Place a piece of parchment on a cookie sheet, and lay out a clean smooth towel to create a nice work surface.
- Place a rice paper in the warm water. When the paper is just pliable, remove it from the water and place it on top of the towel(you don't want the paper super soft, because it'll get sticky and hard to work with, you just want it flexible enough that you can bend it to your will, you mind find you just want to soak one paper at a time).
- Now fill your papers, but just use a little of each, or they'll be too big and bust open. Place a little bit of everything greens, noodles, herbs, veggies and Soy Curls) on your paper.
- Fold the bottom of the wrapper up over the filling, towards the top of the paper. Then fold in each side making sure the paper is not getting bunched up. Gently pick up the bottom of the wrapper and roll up firmly.
- Cut each salad roll in half and serve with ranch dressing for dipping.
|Since these have been long eaten, you will have to make your own.

- OMC, or Otara Millionaires Club, was a New Zealand music group. They were best known for their 1996 hit "How Bizarre", named one of the greatest New Zealand songs of all time by the Australasian Performing Right Association. The full name of the band is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Otara's status as one of the poorest suburbs of Auckland.

KMeleonWiki > Documentation > MozillaBugs
Take a look at the files in a normal install of K-Meleon. There is one kmeleon.exe and a few dll's in the kplugins directory; That's K-Meleon! The rest (more or less) is Mozilla/Gecko/GRE. And about 50% of what's inside the kmeleon.exe is code "borrowed" from mfcEmded.exe (the official test application for embedding Mozilla on Windows).
K-Meleon is a native Windows user interface on top of Gecko. We don't do any networking, caching, rendering, javascript, etc.. Only the user interface (and reading/writing bookmarks, and maybe some more:)
All bugs that might be dependent on Mozilla/Gecko components ought to be tested against mfcEmbed before reported to K-Meleon BTS. Things that work in mfcEmbed but not in K-Meleon are our fault. Things that doesn't work in Mozilla are clearly Mozilla bugs, and things that work in Mozilla but not in mfcEmbed are bugs with the embedding of Gecko.
As a rule of thumb:
The latest mfcEmbed that uses the same Mozilla base as K-Meleon 0.8 seems to be from October 7: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/2003-10-07-16-1.5/embed-win32.zip
There are several bugs marked as Mozilla Bug, but without a link to a bug in bugzilla. We need help finding/filing bugzilla bugs as well as finding bugs reported in K-Meleon that depend on Mozilla features.

EmilPRO is a graphical disassembler for most architectures. It supports quick navigation through the code, visualizing jump destinations, and easy lookup of symbols and addresses. It also supports cross-referencing symbols and displays data (or instructions) in a hexview. Instruction types can be easily edited by the user and shared with others via a Web service. For binaries with debugging information, the high-level source code is shown in addition to the disassembled instructions. EmilPRO can open binaries of many formats, including ELF, Mach-O, and PE executables, with or without symbols.
libdwarf reads and/or writes DWARF debugging information in Elf object files. dwarfdump uses libdwarf to read object files and print the DWARF content in a readable fashion. libdwarf implements the DWARF2 (and later) standard by providing function interfaces that abstract away many DWARF implementation details (the writer code only emits DWARF2 so far). The source also includes implementations of a few tree search (tsearch) algorithms (balanced, red-black, and binary).
LibreS3 is a robust open source implementation of the Amazon S3 service, supporting a subset of the S3 REST API. Standard S3 client libraries and tools (for example python-boto, s3cmd, DragonDisk, etc.) can be used to access it. LibreS3 uses Skylable SX as the storage backend, which automatically provides data deduplication and replication.
Embedthis ESP is a blazing fast C language Web framework. It is extremely efficient and accesses hardware and system data with ease to create compelling management interfaces. It is not a traditional low-level environment, but a powerhouse MVC framework in a tiny footprint with most things you'd expect from an enterprise Web framework including MVC, scaffolds, templates, WebSockets, integrated databases, database migrations, and more. ESP offers "script-like" productivity: if Web pages or controllers are modified during development, the code is transparently recompiled and reloaded.
