THE ART OF SPAM Laying Plans/The Calculations explores the five fundamental factors (the Way, seasons, terrain, leadership, and management) and seven elements that determine the outcomes of military engagements. By thinking, assessing and comparing these points, a commander can calculate his chances of victory. Habitual deviation from these calculations will ensure failure via improper action. The text stresses that war is a very grave matter for the state, and must not be commenced without due consideration. Waging War/The Challenge explains how to understand the economy of warfare, and how success requires winning decisive engagements quickly. This section advises that successful military campaigns require limiting the cost of competition and conflict. Attack by Stratagem/The Plan of Attack defines the source of strength as unity, not size, and discusses the five factors that are needed to succeed in any war. In order of importance, these critical factors are: Attack, Strategy, Alliances, Army, and Cities. Tactical Dispositions/Positioning explains the importance of defending existing positions until a commander is capable of advancing from those positions in safety. It teaches commanders the importance of recognizing strategic opportunities, and teaches not to create opportunities for the enemy. Energy/Directing explains the use of creativity and timing in building an army's momentum. Weak Points & Strong/Illusion and Reality explains how an army's opportunities come from the openings in the environment caused by the relative weakness of the enemy in a given area. Maneuvering/Engaging The Force explains the dangers of direct conflict and how to win those confrontations when they are forced upon the commander. Variation in Tactics/The Nine Variations focuses on the need for flexibility in an army's responses. It explains how to respond to shifting circumstances successfully. The Army on the March/Moving The Force describes the different situations in which an army finds itself as it moves through new enemy territories, and how to respond to these situations. Much of this section focuses on evaluating the intentions of others. Terrain/Situational Positioning looks at the three general areas of resistance (distance, dangers, and barriers) and the six types of ground positions that arise from them. Each of these six field positions offer certain advantages and disadvantages. The Nine Situations/Nine Terrains describes the nine common situations (or stages) in a campaign, from scattering to deadly, and the specific focus that a commander will need in order to successfully navigate them. The Attack by Fire/Fiery Attack explains the general use of weapons and the specific use of the environment as a weapon. This section examines the five targets for attack, the five types of environmental attack, and the appropriate responses to such attacks. The Use of Spies/The Use of Intelligence focuses on the importance of developing good information sources, and specifies the five types of intelligence sources and how to best manage each of them.

"Please visit taco loco alaska.com" ? Alaska. Are you in Alaska?
it was moderated too fast for me to even see it!
All hail Wini
me kicka de asse.
The only reason I saw it is because I exist on the other half of the world. Though I might doing an exchange program in Colorado next year, so then I couldn't be the gatekeeper of the American night.
We will ALL come visit you. What a mess that would be. Sometimes Doc (Moondog) appears to live in Colorado. My remaining childhood friend lives in Colorado Sorings. what topic are we posting in?
If I go I'll be living in Fort Collins with one of my best friends, but I'm sure she'd be cool with you guys wandering through B-) I believe this is the art of spam, and since we're off topic surely that is one form of spam?
Holy crap. I probably would not visit you in colorado. I hope you enjoy it though. I hope some day I can go there. Travel in a crowded van With a few dope-smokin snowboarders tearin up the bowls and peaks of them firy mountains. I must confess I only snowboarded once, it was failure incarnate.
I don't really expect anyone to actually do it, but it would be awesome! Maybe I'll meet one of you at an AnCo concert. That would be awesome.
speaking of which, we ought to try to arrange a car pool thing next tour for those who are willing and in the same area.
Or we could all follow them their whole tour.
I would gladly go to an Animal Collective show with my brother, and G.O.
actually, organizing a follow-them-the-whole-tour caravan or bus is a fucking ridiculous idea and it'd be really interesting, however it went. i imagine we'd get a lot of facetime with the band members once they realized we were at every show they went to in a bus of our own. lol. "Follow that bus!"
Or depending how many people a old Volkswagen van. Then we could camp!
Or we could just climb on top of the band's tour bus a la [i]Sin Nombre[/i].
Do they have a tour bus? they must... let's do it.
yep yep, i saw it when i saw them in orlando. we totally should.
Just have to wait for them to announce the tour and then we can try to set some plans.
Now I don't know where to move this thread. Reverb? Why did I put it in arrivals?
If I was as free as a bird without responsibilities, i'd be mad into this idea.
lol same deal
although i think your responsibilities outstrip my own. nonetheless.
Dave that's such a good idea. Haha. And claude, I'm in Colorado!
everyone is in colorado! or florida or georgia or minnesota! it's crazy! cept for that girl in maine no one knows HOW she ended up there! hanging out with stephen king!
I feel so left out! Me and Stephen, up here, writing in the woods!
The funny thing is, if I was to live with my parents then I would live close to Baltimore, which would place me with the band! Instead, I'm up here in the forest with none of you (or them)!
My paternal lineage is from Maine. Remember when everyone was from Canada or Australia? And was an only child? I went through some phase in my welcome posts asking about that. Two years, people! I've been here for two years! I can't wait until someone gets married or has a baby or does something momentous and weird.
That's right! You've got the Maine connection! I've been here for two years as well! INSANE! I feel like i've done a lot since i've joined here. I've realized many times that having this place has done so much for me and there are some sad points in those two years where this was my place to turn, and the stability of it really helps in the sometimes heart-wrenching challenge that is life.
Moon Dog we'll definitely have to go do sometime man. What you guys do in the mountains? I would suggest a bar but stupid being 19. Wini! I'm thinking of proposing to the girl I'll be staying with in Colorado, so maybe your dream will come true sooner than you think! Now I feel like I really should... we'll see!
Dave and Tigers, I think if we went on tour with AnCo we'd all be giving up some responsibility or another, isn't that half the fun?
That's so true. My responsibilieties aren't super super important and I'm only getting older. I have no kids, I don't pay rent, only got a part time job, I'd be down. We should if nothing else let each other know what shows we going to in order to say wud up and maybe write a review for this website or somthin. I really really really want to see them. Dag yo! Gettin serious with your lady friend? Life must be really good for you Claude.
I really really want to see them as well and if it's possible to meet-up with someone then I would love to, but my responsibilities do include a kid so...that is solidly not a possibility. Claude - It is certainly exciting that things are going that way with you and your girl! Good luck, if you do pop the question!
I am midwest region
I joined here about half a year ago. I'am sorta an only child being the only child at my parents house. Bring an introvert doesn't help either, so I like being on the board with y'all in the down time. Don't think I'am going to provide major news for everyone. But hey, good luck Claude with your girl.
Thanks guys, it's a bit tough though since her family lives in America and mine in Australia, and my sister has already married an American. So my parents are not going to be happy if I do. Plus her dad is really scary in the way that Christian conservative parents are... so I'll have to ask permission and stuff.
In regards to the giving up responsibilities, I agree with you in general terms. Nevertheless, I've been giving serious thought to joining the Coast Guard, and you can't really ditch that responsibility without going AWOL. That's very exciting that you're thinking about getting engaged. Don't be too intimidated by the hyperconservatism -- they're people just like everyone else, albeit with intense mental rules and compartmentalization. If you come from love, that universal love, you can't go wrong.
It's just kind of frightening to be thinking of doing something that will entirely change the path for the rest of your life, and since I'm 19 a lot people won't take me very seriously. Even though her parents are conservative, they're really nice and I get along with them well, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem, except for the idea that I might be living with her.
There's always the option of living with her for a while before you get hitched to test the waters.
Well that's what I'm going to be doing when I go to America. She was living in a dorm but she's getting an apartment with her best friend. Her best friend is traveling abroad to Italy first semester of 2013 so the plan is for me to stay there while she's gone. I'm so excited if this works out because if it doesn't it might never work between me and her. Even if we don't end up together, it will still be hella fun.
Claude, it isn't that they don't take you seriously. I know it really feels like it, though! It's just that so much changes all the time, especially in romantic love. I try to take everyone seriously all the time, but also take in to account that Things Change all the time. People who like to "kid" get Very Negative Reactions from me. She is a lucky girl. How wonderful to be so loved!
Thanks Wini I kid around a lot but I like to think that I know when to get serious and be tactful.

Democratic Senate hopeful Paul Sadler unleashed a barrage of criticism against Republican rival Ted Cruz in a televised debate Tuesday, trying to make up a lot of ground in the race's final five weeks.
Sadler questioned whether Cruz has offered enough specifics to put a dent in the national debt, is too beholden to Senate tea party leader Jim DeMint of South Carolina and is so naive he'd be outmaneuvered by insurance industry lobbyists and give up hard-won constraints on health insurers' underwriting practices.
Visibly angry, he repeatedly accused Cruz of lying. The Republican largely kept his cool and cast his little-known Democratic rival as "unapologetically liberal" and a big supporter of gay marriage and President Barack Obama's health care law.
It was an extraordinary exchange in a race that so far has gotten little attention. The two exposed stark differences on health care, foreign policy and immigration. But. for much of their hourlong debate at the Victory Park studios of WFAA-TV (Channel 8), the two men talked over one another — and sometimes insulted each other.
When Sadler pressed Cruz on whether he would support U.S. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas for Senate Republicans' No. 2 leadership position, Cruz struggled to be heard. He has said it would be "presumptuous" to assume he will win and commit to a leadership candidate, though he has endorsed another senator in a separate race for a lesser GOP leadership post.
"I know you believe you're cross-examining," said Cruz, who like Sadler is a lawyer.
Sadler shot back, "Why won't you answer that?"
Cruz answered, "Because you keep interrupting me."
In gun-friendly Texas, Sadler even resorted to the most cutting of swipes when he suggested Cruz, though he professes great zeal for gun owners' rights, doesn't really hunt.
Cruz said he does own a gun. And he countered by noting that Sadler, while in the state Legislature, voted against the state's concealed weapons law.
Afterward, Cruz complained Sadler had slurred his wife, Heidi, by bringing up her work on an advisory panel of the Council on Foreign Relations, and had engaged in personal attacks, at one point calling the former state solicitor general "some troll."
Sadler acknowledged: "I probably shouldn't have said that word."
Their encounter came as an independent poll showed Cruz running well ahead of Sadler, who has not had money for TV advertising.
Cruz led Sadler, 50 percent to 24 percent, in the nonpartisan Texas Lyceum's survey, supervised by University of Texas professor Daron Shaw. The Senate result involved telephone interviews with 666 likely voters, conducted Sept. 10-26. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.7 percentage points.
The two men will meet in one more TV debate, Oct. 19 at KERA-TV (Channel 13) in Dallas.
In a July GOP runoff, Cruz, 41, came out of nowhere to knock off establishment favorite David Dewhurst, the state's three-term lieutenant governor.
Cruz is a rising star nationally, at least among tea party adherents. He spoke at the Republican National Convention last month and has appeared on national television networks' Sunday talk shows — a fact Sadler mentioned in casting Cruz as a self-promoting dandy.
Sadler, 57, a former state House member from East Texas, left elective politics after the 2001 session to help his son Sam, then a teenager, recover from head injuries sustained as a passenger in a car accident.
Sadler's attempt at a political re-entry has been rocky. He raised only about $140,000 for the primary and had to spend part of it to win a July runoff against perennial candidate Grady Yarbrough.
Cruz, fending off Sadler's assertion that he should agree to six televised debates, said "it's not our obligation to help you" win free media coverage.
The two sparred predictably over the causes of the country's $16 trillion debt. While social safety net spending is up because of the severe recession, Cruz accused Obama of leading an unprecedented surge in federal spending. Sadler, though, noted that the national debt doubled under former President George W. Bush, under whom taxes were cut and two wars were begun.
In spite of Sadler's best efforts, Cruz would not say whether he harbors doubts about whether Obama was born in the U.S. and is a Christian.
"As much as Mr. Sadler wants, I'm not going to be drawn into that," the Republican said afterward. "I'm going to focus on Barack Obama's economic record."
At several points, Sadler accused Cruz of making unsubstantiated attacks on Obama, including that the president wants more people dependent on government programs so they'll vote Democratic.
Sadler, though, had difficulty explaining his reversal from May, when he said all Bush-era tax cuts should be allowed to expire for everyone.He now says they should be yanked only from wealthy Americans.
The Democrat said afterward that Congress must examine military spending, taxes and other sensitive topics to come up with a credible debt-reduction plan.
Cruz said the debate gave Texans a view of the two men's stark differences.
"Mr. Sadler supports amnesty for those who are here illegally. I do not," he said. "Mr. Sadler supports Obamacare. I do not. Mr. Sadler has opposed Second Amendment rights. I have fought for Second Amendment rights. … Mr. Sadler has championed in the state of Texas an income tax. … I do not and I oppose that."
Sadler said that as he led a review of the state tax structure in the late 1990s, "I did a review of every single tax available. … So did Lt. Gov. [Bob] Bullock at the time. That's our responsibility. You wouldn't know anything about that. But what you don't do is do your job as a legislator worried that some troll will come along 10 years later or 20 years later and try to run a campaign against you."
Cruz responded: "I do not believe you are a troll."
Cruz seized on the killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya to say Obama has "coddled" U.S. enemies while mistreating allies such as Israel.
Sadler said Cruz would tinker with aid to Middle East countries, inviting meddling by China and other powers.

PUNCH/COUNTERPUNCH: The night's best exchanges
On scheduling more debates
SADLER: "Why can't we have another debate? Why not six? … What are you afraid of?"
CRUZ: "What I am focusing on is building more support for our campaign."
SADLER: "You can build support when we debate."
CRUZ: "We have agreed to this one, and we have agreed to one more."
SADLER: "Well, why don't you agree to six?"
CRUZ: "I understand you are working very hard to get free media coverage, and it's not our obligation to help you in that."
SADLER: "It's your obligation to face the voters."
CRUZ: "We are sitting here right now. You can launch every attack you want to launch at me, right now on television."
SADLER: "The bottom line is you know that I know you don't know enough about government."
On government assistance
CRUZ: "Part of the philosophy of President Obama and this administration is trying to get as many Americans as possible dependent on government so the Democrats can stay in power in perpetuity. … [It's] not succeeding because Americans want to stand on their own feet."
SADLER: "That's the craziest thing I've ever heard in my life. You are really accusing the president of the United States of using a government program to manipulate people to not get a job, to be dependent on government for services. … That's just crazy, Ted. It's crazy."
CRUZ: "I'm impressed that we're a few minutes into it and you've already called me three times crazy on observing that the president has expanded government dependency."
On guns
CRUZ: "Is it true or false that as a state legislator that you voted against the concealed-carry law in the state of Texas?"
SADLER: "I support the Second Amendment."
CRUZ: "Is it true or false? I can engage in the same cross-examination you did."
SADLER: "I voted against the concealed weapons law because I didn't want my 95-year-old step-grandmother, who carries a pistol, to be a felon."
IN THE KNOW: Survey snapshot
Republican Ted Cruz has a large lead in the U.S. Senate race, a poll released Tuesday shows:
Cruz: 50 percent
Sadler: 24 percent
SOURCE: Texas Lyceum poll conducted Sept. 10-26; margin of error 4.7 percentage points, meaning results can vary by that much in either direction.


text: Share: Comments Print August 5, 2014 at 11:47 AM Ex-cop charged with killing Oregon woman, hiding body in suitcase Posted by John de Leon The Associated Press KENOSHA, Wis. — A former police officer has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse in the death of one of two women whose bodies were found stuffed in suitcases left along a rural Wisconsin highway. Steven Zelich, 52, of West Allis, was charged in the death of Jenny Gamez, a 19-year-old college student from Cottage Grove, Ore. He was charged previously with hiding a corpse in Walworth County, Wis., where the suitcases were found June 5, but the prosecutor there had said homicide charges would have to come in the counties where the women died. A Walworth County detective testified in June that Zelich told investigators he met Gamez at a Kenosha County hotel in 2012 and killed her accidentally during rough sex. Zelich then put Gamez's body in a suitcase that he stored for more than a year in his home and car, Walworth County Sheriff's Detective Jeffrey Recknagel said. The other victim has been identified as Laura Simonson, 37, of Farmington, Minn. Zelich told investigators she died in November at a hotel in Rochester, Minn, Recknagel said. No charges have been filed yet in Minnesota. Zelich eventually moved Gamez's body to the trunk of his car, where he also was storing Simonson's body, a criminal complaint said. He dropped them in Walworth County in early June after they began to smell, Recknagel said. Zelich worked for the police department in the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis from February 1989 until his resignation in August 2001, following an internal investigation that found he stalked women while on duty and used his position to get access to their personal information. His resignation allowed him to avoid discipline and pass state background checks for a private security officer's license. He was working as a licensed private security officer when he was arrested June 25. Comments | More in The Blotter | Topics: Cottage Grove, homicide, suitcase

Today is a very exciting day as it is the start of my festival oddessy for 2011. First stop: Glastonbury. I'm leaving today as I'm part of the amazing Worthy FM crew, the team responsible for Glastonbury's onsite festival radio station. We only broadcast for one week of the year but lots of work has gone on over the last few months to ensure this year our shows are better than ever.
Naturally festival fashion has been on my mind for some time so after checking the weather forecast religiously and still being none the wiser, I put together a few of my thoughts on what to take this year…
Something Waterproof
A waterproof cover-up is essential at any festival but that doesn't mean you can get away with relying on a roll of heavy duty bin liners – not even Kate Moss could make a refuse bag look good. Barbour jackets, parkas and leather biker jackets are all in style this season but if you buy nothing else this year make it mac in a pac. Lightweight and shower proof, these are easy to carry around the festival and come in a vast range of colours and patterns.
Head's Up
If we are blessed with another scorcher this summer then a sun hat will be your new best friend. Boater hats join the humble trilby as a festival essential this year, but if you want to add a touch of glamour look for wide brimmed floppy hats with a 70s vibe. One of these will protect you from the sun, allow you to people watch in piece and, if you add a pair of oversized sunglasses, is a great way of disguising a hangover while you're queuing for the long drops. Headscarves are another great way of covering up while staying chic, not to mention hiding unwashed locks and giving your look a retro feel. If you want to unleash your inner hippy then make like Florence Welch and try sporting a (fake) flower garland – if you can't find one on the high street fear not – there are plenty of stalls selling them at the festival.
Festival Feet
Leave the heels at home! If your feet aren't dry and comfortable you'll have a crap time at Glastonbury. The site is huge and if you're trekking between The Park and the Pyramid stage every day you need a pair of shoes that will go the distance. Wellington boots are a must – Hunter are the best of the bunch – but consider taking a pair of comfortable trainers, plimsoles or espadrilles too. Gladiator sandals are still big news this season so look for feather, beads and fringing details and pray for good weather so you can wear them.
Festival Decade: 70s
Glastonbury Festival was born in the 70s so it only seems right to follow the S/S11 trend this year. Fringing, crochet and lace are popular on waistcoats, dresses and even shorts this year. If you want to go glam try jumpsuits, palazzo pants and maxi dresses but be warned, these won't fair so well in muddy conditions! If you can't find what you're looking for before you arrive, fear not – there are a plenty of vintage stalls on site, not to mention the excellent Oxfam stalls dotted across the festival – you may even find some of your donations for sale.
Have Fun
Finally, have fun! Fancy dress is encouraged and fully appreciated at Glastonbury so just embrace it. Get a temporary tattoo from WaterAid, have your face painted by pixies in the Green Fields or bring your own feathered headdress. Go with the festival flow and whatever you do don't forget the sunscreen – lobster red will never be the festival shade du jour!

Most MPI applications just fail when a node fails. A few periodically write checkpoint files, and a subset ;-) of those can be re-run from the last checkpoint. With the POV-Ray port I used application specific knowledge and explicit code to re-issue the work and handle duplicate results. You can use the same idea (but unique code) with other MPI applications that don't have side effects within the time step. Although the program completes the rendering, there is still much ugliness when a partially-failed MPI program tries to finish. -- Donald Becker becker at scyld.com Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Scyld Beowulf cluster system Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993

|Part 2: System Structure
|Fri, 12 May 2006 17:45:22 +0200
|Wanderlust/2.14.0 (Africa) SEMI/1.14.6 (Maruoka) FLIM/1.14.7 (Sanjō) APEL/10.6 Emacs/21.4 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) MULE/5.0 (SAKAKI)
This is part 2 in a small series of notes explaining my opinion on what is a good system structure for the Hurd. While the ideas in part 1 motivate the system structure presented here, the feasibility of this system structure in turn justifies my opinion as presented in part 1. However, either part can also be taken individually. There will probably not be a third part. Part 2: System Structure ------------------------ I will start with presenting the process hierarchy, explain some abstract design patterns, and then show some specific applications. Note that within this document, I will limit myself to certain types of operations and features. This does not mean that the system itself, by design, contains any measures to forbid or ban other types of operations. Process Hierachy A process is a protection domain. The initial configuration of the machine contains one or more processes with specific, but unspecified, relationships. These processes are called the "root processes". From the initial configuration, processes can be created and destroyed. Resource Management I do not make a disctinction between data and capability pages. Both are, for the course of this discussion, memory pages. Processes require at the very least some memory resources to keep the process state. Memory is allocated from containers, which therefore provide an abstraction for memory reserves. It is required that one of the root processes is a server implementing container objects. A container provides an interface that allows to allocate and return memory frames, and to create new containers with a new reserve limit (thus, containers form a hierarchy). Any successful allocation and deallocation from such a derived container will also be accounted for in all containers from which it is derived. A container can be destroyed, which will return all memory frames allocated from it, and thus recursively destroy all containers derived from it as well. Process Creation And Destruction Any process which has access to a container from which a sufficient amount of memory can be allocated, can convert this memory into a process. The process is destroyed by deallocating the memory from which it was created. Filling In the Gaps The above description is actually mostly complete. What is missing is the description of a somewhat unrelated feature which allows process identification, a description of what the default mechanisms are in the system to support common design patterns, and an illustration that these design patterns are sufficient. Canonical Invariances By default, every process is associated with one memory container, the primary container of the process. This is the container from which the process is allocated, and from which the process does all allocations for its own needs. Primary containers are by default not shared. Canonical Process Creation To create a new process, by default, a process, the parent, creates a new container from its primary container, allocates some memory from it and converts it into a new process, the child. It then prepares the process to get it into a runnable state. This includes the following steps: First, a special executable image (allocated from the primary container of the child) is installed into the child's address space, which runs a cooperative protocol with the parent. Then, the parent provides the primary container of the child, and any other initial state that the child should receive, to the startup code. The startup code finally installs this initial state and starts to execute it. It is clear from this description that the child's existance is completely determined by the parent. Canonical Process Destruction Process destruction can be done either cooperatively, or forcibly. The difference corresponds approximately to the difference between SIGTERM and SIGKILL in Unix. To destroy a process cooperatively, a request message is sent to a special capability implemented by the child process. The child can then begin to tear down the program, and at some time send a request back to the parent process to ask for forced process destruction. Forced process destruction can be done by the parent process without any cooperation by the child process. The parent process simply destroys the primary container of the child (this means that the parent process should retain the primary container capability). Because container destruction works recursively, forced process destruction works recursively as well. Process Hierarchy From the above description it should be clear that containers and processes are organized in the same hierarchical tree structure, where every node corresponds to a process and its primary container, and every edge corresponds to a parent-child relationship. Isolation The ability to subdivide the container's resource reserves provides the ability to completely isolate sibling processes in the process hierarchy. By default, two processes, where neither is an ancestor of the other process, are completely isolated. Also, an ancestor is partially isolated from its child. To overcome this isolation, the two processes need the cooperation of at least all their respective ancestors up to the first common ancestor in the tree. An example should illustrate that: A / \ B C / \ D E In this picture, A is the direct parent of B and C, and C is the direct parent of D and E. A is a common ancestor of B, C, D and E. C is a comon ancestor of D and E. The isolation is by default complete between (B C), (B D), (B E), and (D E). There is partial isolation between (A B), (A C), (A D), (A E), (C D) and (C E). The isolation properties of A are, if it is a root node, defined by the initial configuration. If, for example, B and D should be able to communicate, the explicit or implicit permission needs to be provided by both A and C. Confinement Because of the recursive nature of the process hierarchy, and because the existance of a child is completely determined by its direct parent (which existance is completely determined by _its_ direct parent, etc), processes can be confined, and the confinement extends to all their child processes as well. In the above example, A confines B, C, D and E. C confined D and E. Thus, B and C are only confined by A, whereas D and E are confined by A and C. Meaning Of Words Such As Secure, Want, External, etc Because the existance of a child process is completely defined by its parent, its understanding of what is secure, what its needs are, what is "external" to itself and what is internal, etc, is completely defined by the parent as well. It therefore does not make sense to object to the above model by claiming that the child can not do what it wants to do, because what the child wants to do is completely defined by the parent, as are its abilities to do it. It also does not make sense to object that the child can not determine if a capability it got from the parent is safe to use, because it is the parent which defines for the child if a capability is safe to use or not. Any such objection has, at its root, some assumption that is different from the assumptions made in this model, and thus needs to be analysed and reasoned about outside of the model. Identify Operation An branding operation exists which, at the micro-level, allows a server process to check if a certain capability is implemented by itself. The server can then provide an identify operation to its clients, which allow the clients to check with the server if a certain capability is implemented by it. The client can then refuse to use the capability if it is not authentic. Applications I will now describe some common applications that need to be supported, and how they can be supported in the above system structure. To make this brief, I only include applications that have any significance in the confined+isolated discussion. There are other applications (pipes, daemonization, process management), which are important to discuss, but can be solved in identical ways in both types of system structures, so I am excluding them here. System Services Unix-style suid applications have been proposed as one application for alternative process construction mechanisms. However, suid applications in Unix are, from the perspective of the parent, not confined, only isolated. Thus, they are readily replaced by a system service that is created by the system software, and that runs as a sibling to any user process. Only the ability to invoke the system service needs to be given to the user, not the ability to instantiate it. In fact, no gain can derived from letting the user instantiate system services. In Unix, system services run on durable resources, which the user can not revoke. Thus, the system service needs to acquire its resources from a container that is not derived from the user's primary container. Cut & Paste In "Design of the EROS Trusted Window System", Shap et al describe a uni-directional communication mechanism that can be used for a cut&paste operation in a window manager, that is guaranteed to not allow backflow of information. The main challenge to do this is format conversion, which traditionally requires negotiation between the two parties. In the mechanism proposed, confined constructors are used to allow the sending party to provide format converters that can be used by the receiving party to convert into a format it understands. I think that in the context of a free software operating system, and considering the threat caused by proprietary document formats, it is fully sufficient and in fact appropriate for our needs to replace this mechanism with one in which the format converters are not provided as isolated programs, but where instead at least the binary image of the format converter is provided in read-only fasion to the receiver. Accepting this means, in practice, that in the proposed protocol, the format converter constructor capability can be replaced by the vector of capabilities, which must be transitive read-only, which is put into the constructor by the sending party before sealing. The sending party then can instantiate these programs itself. This alternative mechanism breaks with the principle of least authority, because it values other principles with a higher priority. Suspicious Collaboration Two agents in the system can collaborate suspiciously by means of a third agent. In the process, they rely on the third agent to implement the common will. This third agent can even be a constructor-like service. The validity of the service can either be established by the abovely described "Identify" operation, or, in principle, if the underlying operating system exposes the functionality of a "trusted computing" component, the two agents can even get all the guarantees and restrictions imposed by such a component. There is nothing in the system structure above that can prevent this[1]. The changes needed in the underlying operating system are purely local changes with no effect on the overall system structure. [1] I should add here that my analysis is limited to technical constraints. There may be further legal constraints imposed by software licenses such as the upcoming GPL v3, which draft has an anti-DRM provision. I said earlier that this makes it hard for me to understand why it has been said that the above system structure constitutes a "ban" on this mechanism. I believe, without having inquired further, that the reason must be that the suspicious collaboration in the above sense is a contract with limited scope. Any information that is passed from the mediating agent to either of the two parties will subsequently not be controlled further. This is in fact always true. The only difference is what the scope of the mediating agent is. In "locked down" computer systems, the mediating agent has a scope that extends to all of the operating system. For example, the window manager would be part of the mediating agent, and conspire with other components to not allow some information displayed to be read out or modified. Or it could reduce the quality of the information if such a read out occurs (as is required by HDCP licenses, for example). In the danger of repeating myself here, the differences that surfaced in the discussion are probably rooted in the issue of scope. The scope problem is not visible under a microsope, but is only revealed as emergent behaviour by a macroscopic analysis of the resulting system. Thanks, Marcus

What is an ontology?
An ontology is a hierachical, organized dictionary of terms. It provides a standard set of labels for researchers to apply to genes, and its structure allows for reasoning about terms.
Which ontologies does GREAT provide?
GREAT uses numerous ontologies covering a wide range of topics, which allows you to examine many aspects of your input set. Currently, GREAT includes the Gene Ontology (GO) and other ontologies covering phenotypes and human disease, pathways, gene expression, regulatory motifs, and gene families.
To see a description and statistics for an ontology, choose from the list below:
Gene Ontology (GO)
Phenotype Data and Human Disease
- MGI Phenotype - data about mouse genotype - phenotype associations primarily obtained by curators from the literature
- MSigDB Cancer Neighborhood - gene sets defined by correlated expression profiles with cancer-associated genes
- MSigDB Cancer Modules - gene sets with an altered expression in a variety of cancer conditions
Pathway Data
- Panther Pathway - primarily signaling pathways
- Pathway Commons - a collection of pathways from multiple sources
- BioCyc Pathway - metabolic pathways
- MSigDB Pathway - gene sets from pathway databases
Gene Expression
- MGI Expression___Detected - genes detected as expressed in data with a focus on gene expression during mouse development
- MGI Expression___Not Detected - genes detected as not expressed in data with a focus on gene expression during mouse development
- MSigDB Perturbation - gene sets that change their expression after genetic and chemical perturbations
Regulatory Motifs
- MSigDB miRNA Motifs - gene sets that share a 3'-UTR microRNA binding motif
- MSigDB Transcription Factor Motifs - gene sets that share a transcription factor binding motif
- miRNA Targets - genes that are downregulated in a microRNA overexpression experiment
- Transcription Factor Targets - genes identified by a transcription factor ChIP-chip experiment
Gene Families
- InterPro - protein domains, families and functional sites
- TreeFam - gene families of paralogs
- HGNC Gene Families - gene sets based on sequence similarity, data from the literature, and manual curation
Can I use other ontologies?
Currently, GREAT only supports the listed ontologies.

Cerberus, Supervalu Close to Deal
Cerberus Capital Management LP and Supervalu Inc. are close to a deal in which the buyout firm and its partners will buy some parts of the grocer and take a stake in others, a person with knowledge of the plan said.
Rather than a straightforward buyout, which was earlier considered, Cerberus is close to buying some parts of Supervalu and taking a stake the remainder, which is expected to remain public, the person said. As currently envisioned, Cerberus would contribute around $500 million in equity, the person said, several hundred million less than initially discussed.
The deal structure is designed in part to bridge a gap between how much cash Cerberus was willing to put up and the amount of cash that banks arranging financing for the deal have wanted Cerberus to commit.
A deal could be announced as soon as next week, said the person, who added that terms weren't final and a deal could still fall through.

A sprinkling of snow sent UK transport into meltdown, with a major holiday airport shut for more than two hours and road and rail journeys delayed. Forecasters said the snow had amounted to no more than "one or two centimetres in places" but nevertheless air and train passengers endured a difficult morning. Stansted airport in Essex was shut from about 6am to 8.30am, as passengers complained of being given incorrect information. Luton and Aberdeen were among the airports affected by the wintry conditions that also caused considerable problems on the railways.
The snow was heavier in northern parts of the country. Up to 40 cars were stranded on the A171 between Guisborough and Whitby in blizzard conditionsPicture: Paul Kingston / NNP

When Southington resident Liz Dietz wanted to pursue a bike trip across the nation last summer, she knew it would become the adventure of a lifetime, seeing popular landmarks and meeting new faces in unfamiliar places.
But she struggled to find a biking partner. After consulting multiple friends, no one came through until Liz contacted the person who knows her best: her mother, Sharon Vocke, an energy columnist for the Observer.
"To be honest, I never thought she would go with me," said Liz, who attends Williams College in Massachusetts. "So many potential bike companions had fallen through that I figured it was not going to happen."
Liz said she felt shocked and excited when she told her mother through a text message she had no choice but to take on the challenge too.
"Oh I know—I have been planning on it for a month," Sharon told her daughter through a text message.
The mother and daughter adventure launched July 9, and continued through the end of August. Carrying all their belongings in knapsacks strapped behind their backs while pedaling over a thousand miles, Sharon and Liz traveled from Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado up through the Tetons and Yellowstone in Wyoming, and into Montana where they rented a car to see Glacier National Park. Then they pedaled their way to Idaho, Washington state, and Victoria, Canada. They landed in Portland, Ore. last.
"It was completely a whole new adventure," said Sharon, who serves as the co-owner of EverGreen Energy, a local company that specializes in the installation of renewable energy sources like solar panels.
"Somehow we survived that first day," she said.
With their dissembled bikes in boxes, Sharon and Liz first flew into Denver, Colo., where a shuttle brought them to a campground. They assembled the bikes back together upon arriving to the campsite, but Sharon realized that she did not tighten her handlebars enough—until she started biking down a mountain.
"My handlebars fell off," she said.
Although Liz and Sharon experienced setbacks along the way, including low air pressure in their tires, they did not give up on their journey. Sharon said one of their biggest struggles took place in Yellowstone, Wyo., where they could not find any shoulders on the roadways.
"We stopped for a few minutes at the top of a particularly delightful hill, mostly to cherish the fact that we were still alive," Liz said in her Tumblir blog, "Irrational National." "Mom, in her maternal (and totally understandable) worry wanted to continue up Yellowstone National Parkway before the afternoon turned it into Yellowstone National Parking Lot, but I was all kinds of absolutely not."
For Liz and Sharon, the perseverance to pedal through Yellowstone was worth it. During their time at Yellowstone National Park, they met Nat and Tamara—unforgettable strangers who welcomed the mother and daughter with open arms.
"They were beyond extraordinary," Sharon said. "They invited us to stay with them in their campsite, they cooked for us."
Along the way, Sharon and Liz met other people who made a lasting impression, including Daniel, who just finished serving in the Air Force, and decided to travel around for a year before settling down into a civilian job.
"He was logistically fantastic- he helped me with some bike repairs, since he was a mechanic, and let us stay with the hosts he arranged for himself," said Liz, who encountered Daniel on a bike route through Montana. "He was also a fascinating person, who made some of the long days of biking go much more quickly during the week or so he was with us."
Sharon and Liz also met ranchers in Wyoming, where they spend long hours branding cows for a living. Although they work from dawn until dusk, Sharon said it was amazing to see how the cowboys and cowgirls love their job.
"It is very different—they are very passionate about what they do," Sharon said. "It is a hard life—they work from the moment they wake up until the moment they go to bed."
Out of all the places they visited, Sharon and Liz both agreed that the North Cascades National Park in Washington was one of their favorite spots.
"It is like nothing we have ever seen in the Northeast," Sharon said. "The combination of astounding beauty and the fact that we actually made it to the Cascades was the coolest," Liz added. "The trip through the Cascades is bisected by a pair of mountain passes—first Washington Pass, where you climb over the last significant mountain of the country, and Rainy Pass, where it literally started to rain as soon as we hit it."
When the mother-daughter bike trip ended, Liz and Sharon said they hope to have another adventure like that in the near future. Looking back on the trip, Sharon and Liz said not only did they enjoy spending time together, but they also learned more about themselves.
"I am stronger than I know—I can push beyond pain," Sharon said. "The day to day things- bills, phone calls, Facebook, grocery shopping- that normally comprise an enormous amount of stress sort of drop away," Liz said. "I became a little less stressed over the details."

Action Pack pagination for Active Record collections
DEPRECATION WARNING: Pagination will be moved to a plugin in Rails 2.0. Install the classic_pagination plugin for forward compatibility:
script/plugin install svn://errtheblog.com/svn/plugins/classic_pagination
The Pagination module aids in the process of paging large collections of Active Record objects. It offers macro-style automatic fetching of your model for multiple views, or explicit fetching for single actions. And if the magic isn't flexible enough for your needs, you can create your own paginators with a minimal amount of code.
The Pagination module can handle as much or as little as you wish. In the controller, have it automatically query your model for pagination; or, if you prefer, create Paginator objects yourself.
Pagination is included automatically for all controllers.
For help rendering pagination links, see ActionView::Helpers::PaginationHelper.
Automatic pagination for every action in a controller
class PersonController < ApplicationController model :person paginate :people, :order => 'last_name, first_name', :per_page => 20 # ... end
Each action in this controller now has access to a @people instance variable, which is an ordered collection of model objects for the current page (at most 20, sorted by last name and first name), and a @person_pages Paginator instance. The current page is determined by the params[:page] variable.
Pagination for a single action
def list @person_pages, @people = paginate :people, :order => 'last_name, first_name' end
Like the previous example, but explicitly creates @person_pages and @people for a single action, and uses the default of 10 items per page.
Custom/"classic" pagination
def list @person_pages = Paginator.new self, Person.count, 10, params[:page] @people = Person.find :all, :order => 'last_name, first_name', :limit => @person_pages.items_per_page, :offset => @person_pages.current.offset end
Explicitly creates the paginator from the previous example and uses Paginator#to_sql to retrieve @people from the model.
OPTIONS = Hash.new
DEFAULT_OPTIONS = { :class_name => nil, :singular_name => nil, :per_page => 10, :conditions => nil, :order_by => nil, :order => nil, :join => nil, :joins => nil, :count => nil, :include => nil, :select => nil, :parameter => 'page'

Nov. 8, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) announced its All-Conference teams for men's soccer on Tuesday afternoon, and for the second straight year, senior co-captain Ryan Sheffler garnered First Team honors. He is joined on the all-star squad by senior teammate Alex Morgan, who was named to the Second Team.
MIT has had at least one member of its men's soccer team named to the All-Conference First Team each year since the NEWMAC's inception in 1998.
Sheffler recorded seven goals and four assists for 18 points this season, leading the Engineers in all three categories. He finished the campaign tied for third in the NEWMAC in both goals and overall points. The Beaumont, Texas, native also entered the MIT record books in a number of categories - he finished his career tied for seventh all-time in career goals (20), tied for fourth in career assists (17) and eighth in career points (57).
Morgan, who earned Rookie of the Year honors in 2003, totaled 11 points on four goals and three assists.
Babson's sophomore forward Tim Winn was named Player of the Year after leading the NEWMAC in goals, assists and overall points. His coach, Jon Anderson, earned Coach of the Year plaudits, while Springfield forward Adrian Schippers was honored as the Rookie of the Year.

The L Series BlackBerry 10 phone has been leaked again, this time appearing in CrackBerry.com's forums, where a handful of pictures showed the phone up close, as well as being compared to a BlackBerry Bold 9700.
Research in Motion's L Series handset is one of two phones on which it will launch the BlackBerry 10 operating system next year, where it will be joined by the more traditional QWERTY keyboard-equipped N Series.
In the snaps, the L Series — marked as an evaluation unit — looks the same as it did back in September, when both it and the N Series phone last appeared. The long, black chassis remains, while the front has the slight look of Sony's Xperia range to it, thanks to the edgeless screen. Sitting next to the Bold, it also looks quite long.
The source of the leak hasn't provided any more information on the specification, but if previous rumors are correct, that's a 4.2-inch screen with a 1280 x 768 pixel resolution, and a dual-core processor should be hiding inside.
RIM has already announced when the L Series will be made official, as it will be holding an ambitious, global launch event for BlackBerry 10 on January 30 next year, where both phones and the new software will finally make their public debut.
There were concerns RIM would miss the first quarter release date, which it has continually stood by, but according to the company's COO Kristian Tear, BB10 handsets will on sale within 30 days of that event. This means it'll make its self-imposed deadline, but only by a whisker.
Despite the fact the OS is still a bit of a mystery, and there are several months to go until we get to try it out, the company's stock has been performing well; perhaps assisted by BlackBerry 10 gaining government security clearance and RIM drip-feeding us details on new, interesting features such as BBM Voice.
Will the L Series be enough to tempt iOS, Android and even Windows Phone fans away and into RIM's waiting arms? We'll find out next year.

A rape survivor and the man who raped her teamed up to write a book and tell their story
Before they begin their story, they are careful to say their journey of reconciliation and forgiveness is not meant to be set as an example for others to follow, but to demonstrate that healing and forgiveness are possible.
In the talk, they begin with how they met - Tom Stranger was an exchange student in Iceland from Australia and he and Thordis Elva began a romantic relationship. Then they describe how the rape happened.
Watch their full TED Talk below. The video below may contain descriptions that are emotional triggers for some.
It's jarring it to see a self-professed rapist take the mic, and the audience questioned Elva on why she decided to give Stranger a voice in the matter.
"I understand those who are inclined to criticize me as someone who enabled a perpetrator to have a voice in this discussion," Elva says during a Q&A follow-up. "But I believe that a lot can be learned by listening to those who have been a part of the problem — if they're willing to become part of the solution — about what ideas and attitudes drove their violent actions, so we can work on uprooting them effectively."
Overall, Elva and Stranger has one primary theme that they wish to address regarding sexual violence.
"It's about time that we stop treating sexual violence as a women's issue," Elva said near the end of the TED Talk. "Just imagine all the suffering we could alleviate if we dare to face this issue together."

Conducting Market Research? Here are 5 Official Sources of Free Data That Can Help
Conducting Market Research? Here are 5 Official Sources of Free Data That Can Help
Are you writing a business plan? Planning to expand into new markets?
Then it's worth knowing that Uncle Sam offers access to free data that can help you understand your market and analyze consumer trends and demographics. In fact, the federal government is the largest producer of data in the U.S. with numerous offices dedicated to collecting, analyzing and providing free access to their findings – good news for budget-conscious small business owners.
Here are five government sources of market data and statistics that may boost your market research efforts:
1. Business Data and Statistics from SBA.gov
A good place to start is SBA.gov's Business Data and Statistics page, where you'll find a collection of resources providing free access to information about business and economic conditions and indicators collected by the U.S. government. Whether you sell to businesses or consumers, these sites include data and statistics on income, employment, trade, and manufacturing, and plenty more.
2. The U.S. Census Bureau
The U.S. Census Bureau (www.census.gov) maintains a vast repository of information that is quick and easy to navigate, thanks to a variety of Data Access Tools. For example, with The American FactFinder, just enter a city and state and the tool will generate multiple options for viewing social, economic, household and demographic data for your town or future location.
The main site has also been newly re-launched to make it very simple to find the data you need, including a neat interactive map that shows a mash-up of economic and demographic statistics for any town, city, or state in America.
If you like what you see but are not sure how to use and interpret the data, the Census Bureau hosts seminars across the country to help business owners learn more about business and industry data on the site. Learn more.
3. FedStats.gov
If you want data but don't know which agency maintains or produces it, head on over to FedStats.gov. This no-frills data-driven site provides access to a full range of official statistical information produced by the federal government without having to know in advance which federal agency produces which particular statistic. Data is available on wide-ranging topics, including economic and population trends, crime, education, health care, aviation safety, energy use, and farm production.
4. Small Business Statistics
Interested in statistics about how small business is doing? The SBA Office of Advocacy conducts and publishes its own research on topics such as the small business economy.
5. EconomicIndicators.gov
For briefings on retail sales, durable goods, manufacturing, construction, new home sales, and more, Economicindicators.gov provides access to daily releases of key economic indicators from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Census Bureau. This is probably your best bet if you're looking for one site that says it all.

The Mountain
"Our mountain is like nothing you have skied before!" read signs at the base and top of the 100-passenger Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) tram, which stretches 4,139-feet from the base area to the 10,450-foot summit of Rendezvous Mountain. The sign continues: "It is huge. With variable terrain from groomed slopes to dangerous cliff areas and dangerously variable weather and snow conditions. You must always exercise extreme caution. You could become lost. You could make a mistake and suffer personal injury or death. Protect yourself—understand the trail map and ask questions before you proceed. Obey all trail signs and markers. Please think and be careful. Give this special mountain the respect it demands!"
These signs aren't being overly dramatic. Even the most skilled skiers can find themselves in trouble around JHMR's 2,500 acres. The named runs are well marked though, so most often you have to go looking for trouble. You also have to look hard to find lift lines. Not counting the tram on a powder morning, a long line at JHMR is 5 minutes.
Starting just below the existing Thunder Lift, Marmot lift rises 1,200 feet across Rendezvous Mountain to the top of the Bridger Gondola. Formerly, the only way to get from Thunder to the Gondola was to ski all the way down to the base area and then take the gondola up. The Marmot lift not only shines when you're starving at the base of Thunder, but also during early and late season. It'll let you stay most all day at mid- and upper-elevations.
Powder Day
People joke that a "powder day" at JHMR is more a "powder hour." Locals here are hard-charging and can track out the area fast. In 1999, when JHMR opened the gates to lift-accessed backcountry, it was one of only a very few resorts to allow skiers and snowboarders to exit in-bounds terrain. The Headwall and Casper Bowl are inbounds but still require a 20-minute hike from the top of the Bridger Gondola.
If hiking isn't your thing, Saratoga Bowl and Moran Woods, off Apres Vous and Casper, respectively, aren't as steep or as long as the Hobacks (off the Sublette Quad), but, because of that, do usually offer fresh tracks for longer. The trees to either side of Pepi's Ridge (Sublette Quad) can hold powder for a while, too.
If you have the necessary backcountry gear—transceiver, shovel, probe—and skills, go ahead and aim for some true backcountry. Rock Springs and Cody Bowl, both just south of the resort boundaries and accessed through marked gates, are good starters, albeit fairly easy to get to, so fresh powder doesn't last long there.
Backcountry runs in Granite Canyon, to the north of the resort in Grand Teton National Park and accessed from the top of the tram or the Apres Vous lift, are more committing. They require route finding skills, or better yet, someone who knows the area and is willing to let you follow them. Know that even though you don't need climbing skins to get out of Granite Canyon, they're never a bad thing to have in your backcountry pack in case you do get lost. The way back to the resort from Granite Canyon is a traverse, but not completely downhill. Expect to expend some serious energy before popping out near the bottom of the Apres Vous lift.
Groomers & Family
Consider this fair warning: The ski area's only beginner terrain is off the Eagle's Rest double chair and the high-speed quad Teewinot lift next to the gondola in the base area. Together, the two lifts make for a nice learner's area. Once you're beyond beginner, you'll most likely find it boring, although the resort does a great job of cutting tracks into the woods between the wide-open runs.
Once you're an intermediate skier, you have quite a few choices at JHMR. If you don't want to worry about having to pay particular attention to a trail map (and perhaps ending up above a cliff), Apres Vous Mountain is your best bet. The smaller and less cliffy of the resort's two mountains is serviced by a high-speed quad from the top of the Teewinot lift and, heading skier's right from the top of the lift, has an array of groomed intermediate runs stretching its entire face.
The easiest intermediate runs on the mountain, which are still a big jump in difficulty for those coming from skiing the resort's green runs, are off the Casper Bowl Triple Chair. Easy Does It, Lift Line and Camp Ground are the most mellow runs off this lift.
Horn's Hole Traverse to Amphitheater from the top of the high-speed quad Thunder Chair is another of the resort's more mellow intermediate runs. The Bridger Gondola accesses a lot of intermediate groomers, but they are substantially steeper than the runs mentioned off Casper and Thunder. Gondola intermediates are generally moderately steeper than the intermediate runs off the Apres Vous lift.
Corbet's Couloir might be the resort's most famous run, but the fresh waffles topped with everything from Nutella to strawberries served up at Corbet's Cabin are worthy of some serious contemplation, too. Have one before heading over to Corbett's. The mandatory air to get into the famous couloir is less intimidating on a full stomach.
With lessons for all ages and abilities, JHMR's Mountain Sports School is awesome. Adults signing up for group lessons at intermediate levels and higher often end up with a semi-private lesson.
Under the Mangy Moose, the Rocky Mountain Oyster Café serves 1/4-pound grass-fed, antibiotic- and hormone-free beef burgers starting at $4.50. A buffalo burger is $6.50.
The Snake River Lodge & Spa allows spa day guests to use its pool and outdoor hot tub, which might just be Teton Village's best. The Four Seasons pool is one to plunge into as well, but the only way you can use it is if you're an overnight guest at the property.
If you can tear yourself away from the mountain for a day off, Grand Teton National Park is literally right next to JHMR. Yellowstone National Park is about an hour away, and numerous outfitters in Jackson offer day-long snowmobile trips to Old Faithful, which is a much less touristy in winter.
Few resorts in the country can compete with JHMR. Twelve miles away, Snow King Resort is smart enough not to try. Jackson's "town hill," Snow King is still a local's favorite. It offers two-hour lift tickets, night skiing, 1,500-feet of vertical, a tubing park and, from both mid-mountain and the summit, fantastic views of the Tetons. It is north facing so usually pretty chilly.
Back at JHMR, the best views of Corbet's Couloir—other than those heart-pounding looks you get standing at its lip—are from the southern deck at Couloir atop the Bridger Gondola.
If you're staying in Jackson and driving out to the Village, a short detour to Nora's Fish Creek Inn in Wilson at the base of Teton Pass is eminently worthwhile. In a cozy log cabin with a Tulakivi wood-burning stove, Nora's has everything from Banana Bread French Toast to a number of egg concoctions on the menu. There's usually a wait for a table–and everyone who walks in the door is subject to the same wait, even the occasional celebrity (David Letterman, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Harrison Ford)–but seats at the U-shaped bar turn over fairly quickly.
If your legs are aching to take a break from the mountain, Teton Thai is, without a doubt, the valley's best Thai food. Formerly hidden in a side alley just off Jackson's Town Square, Teton Thai has moved into a new building next to the $5 parking lot at the Village. From the base area, it's a five-minute walk, or you can hitch a ride on one of JHMR's big red buses constantly shuttling between the base area and the lot. You can't really go wrong with anything here, although expect prices to be a couple of dollars more than you'd pay at a Thai place back home.

Back down in Teton Village, Il Villaggio Osteria (or just Osteria) inside Hotel Terra, has a very different vibe -- more hip than haute -- and what might very possibly be the world's best boar ravioli. The pizzas, cooked to order in a wood-fired oven, are pretty close to perfect. The fried olives stuffed with housemade sausage are out-of-this-world good. Located between Teton Village and Jackson on the Moose Wilson Road, Q Roadhouse has the most sophisticated menu of any roadhouse we've ever seen: ginger lime salad, grilled South Carolina quail, quinoa not-so meatloaf (sauteed kale, green beans, smoked tomato and chipotle sauce), and sweet tea brined chicken fried chicken. In Jackson, locals love the casual option Snake River Brewery (aka "the Brew Pub"). The Brew Pub has at least seven of its award-winning beers on tap at all times and the portions of everything – but especially the pastas – are huge.

Families and those who prefer the soothing sounds of a live pianist to the press of the crowds often at the Moose might want to head to the Four Seasons Lounge instead. The soothing space – not to mention its sushi and sake menu – can't help but relax. In Wilson, the Stagecoach Bar is the place to be Thursday nights and Sunday Night. Every Thursday, the 'Coach channels the 70s, drawing most every 20-something in the valley to its dance floor, with Disco Night. Sunday nights are a completely different crowd. The Stagecoach Band takes the stage with its mix of swing, country, western, and anything else it pleases.
Smack on the Town Square in Jackson under bright neon lights, you'd never call The Million Dollar Cowboy Saloon a ski bar, but it is a classic valley watering hole and has live music a couple of times a week. It's also got some of the best people watching around: real and wanna-be cowboys mingle with co-eds, the occasionally Hollywood star, and the valley's best western swing dancers. Sadly, you have to do your people watching from a saddle. There are no normal bar stools here.

Pilotpoint needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 37 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Pilot Point is a small town of 5,000 people in North Texas. At its center lies an authentic and charming town square established in the 1850's with a gazebo as its focus, surrounded by vintage buildings. The square has suffered from urban development, has some dilapidated and abandoned buildings, and is in need of revitalization.
4Square is a grassroots organization established to revitalize the town square.
The primary implication of the name is positive support. "We are 'For' our 'Square'." The name also implies:
1. The four corners of the town square.
2. The Main Street Program created by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, utilizes a 4-point approach to revitalization - organization, promotion, design, and economic restructuring.
3. By definition the word "foursquare" means an effort marked by firm, unwavering conviction.
A bank on the square was used in the filming of 1967 Academy Award winning movie Bonnie Clyde. http://texashideout.tripod.com/movie2.html
for more information see
Although anyone can join the 4Square organization, we want to especially motivate young people living in Pilot Point ages 16 - 34 to join the organization and activity participate in supporting the square.
These people have not been involved. It's hasn't been a "cool" thing to do and the task seems overwhelming. 4Square will provide a focus and a rallying point.
We are looking for a hip, contemporary look that will appeal to our target group of people 16 - 34.
At the same time, we are in Texas, which has many iconic symbols, which resonate with people of all ages. Don't hesitate to try to use them. If you want to accept the challenge of blending Texas traditional icons with a contemporary look have at it. Invent something. We will provide feedback.
Include the name 4Square in the logo. We prefer that spelling but are open to other approaches.
If you can work the words "Pilot Point" into the logo so much the better but it is not a firm requirement.
Tying in an image of a square or four points of a square seems like a good idea but not mandatory.
The Gazebo has been used in images since it was built in 1976. A picture of it is attached.
We want to excite and motivate citizens to urgent action and have fun doing it!. Your logo will be the catalyst for that effort.
The challenge: Create an image that when you put it on a t-shirt, you'll like to wear it and your friends will say, "I want one!"
Have fun. Go for it.

Auburn in Trouble Following Investigative Report That Alleges Altered Grades, Payouts
Auburn's 2011 BCS National Championship may be in jeopardy after reports that the program paid players, and altered grades under former head coach Gene Chizik.
The report was done by Roopstigo.com, which was published by former New York Times and Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts. The report published that a few Auburn football players said the program altered grades to ensure eligibility, and offered several thousand dollars to try to get future NFL picks to return for their senior seasons.
Roberts spoke to three players that told her that at least nine players had grades altered.
Mike Blanc, an Auburn player told Roopstigo, "Three players say that before the BCS Championship game the team was told that as many as nine of their teammates would not be able to play in the title game because they were academically ineligible. We thought we would be without Mike Dyer because he said he was one of them, but Auburn found a way to make those dudes eligible."
Mike McNeil, another former Auburn player, told Roopstigo that he was given an F for attendance in a computer science class. "I had B work but I missed too many classes; and I went to the instructor and said I really need this grade." McNeil added that the professor said he was sorry but he wouldn't change it. McNeil then went to the person over him, and they backed the instructor. McNeil took it a step further and told his counselor with the athletic department. Then, within days the grade was changed from a F to a C, and he did not miss a game.
Last year, NCAA investigators visited Auburn and found that one signee had high school transcripts that were found to be forged.
Players on Twitter disputed the reports, including Blanc which said, "Man this article is outrageous and isn't true. The media will do anything for a juicy story."
Neiko Thorpe said, "While I spoke to Selena Roberts about Mike, I have just read her article and not only am I misquoted but my words are very out of context. We didn't talk about NCAA violations or recruiting. I'm proud to have played at Auburn and the opportunities it gave me.
These reports are just allegations and speculation right now, and likely the NCAA will investigate the Auburn 2011 football team that won a national championship.

Carlos Rodriguez Andino stepped down after Honduran foreign minister Arturo Corrales received a report drafted by a special commission appointed to investigate the December 20 incident in Bogota.
"In order to safeguard national interests and good relations with the Republic of Colombia, we asked for the ambassador's irrevocable resignation and Mr Rodriguez stepped down, effective immediately," the foreign ministry said.
According to Honduran media reports, the ambassador's bodyguard and close friend Jorge Mendoza organised a party at the embassy to celebrate Christmas that turned into a booze-fuelled orgy with prostitutes.
Reports said the prostitutes stole embassy computers and mobile phones, and defecated on the desks of the ambassador and the commercial attache, after they were asked to leave without being paid.
"A scandal in our foreign service is a stain on the country's name. Diplomatic missions are sacred," said Rodolfo Zelaya, MP.
Colombian police said they are also investigating the incident at the embassy, which is located in an upscale Bogota neighbourhood.
The police chief for the northern part of Bogota, Jose Baquero, said officers were seeking to question two prostitutes who were taken to the embassy in a vehicle about the party and the alleged theft.
The party began around 10pm and ended at almost 5am the next morning, according to police.
The US Secret Service was embroiled in a similar scandal involving prostitutes and its agents last April in the Colombian city of Cartagena, where President Barack Obama attended the Summit of the Americas.
More than two dozen Secret Service agents and military personnel, tasked with preparing security for Obama's high-profile visit, were sent home. Nine have since left the agency as it seeks to repair its tarnished reputation.
