Man charged after allegedly killing wife with meat cleaver
One woman has been killed and another is in critical condition after a cleaver attack in Vermont.
Police said Aita Gurung, 34, of Burlington, was arrested and charged in the death of his wife, Yogeswari Khadka, 32.
Investigators said Gurung attacked her with a meat cleaver shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday.
"I heard a blood-curdling scream that sounded like it came from a woman," Sam Rollo said. "There was a younger woman laying in the driveway, lifeless, and the pool of blood was bigger than her."
Police said Gurung also attacked Khadka's mother, Thulsa Rimal, 54. She suffered severe injuries to her head.
Rimal was listed in critical, but stable condition at University of Vermont Medical Center.
The couple's 8-year-old child was at school at the time and was not hurt.
Investigators have also not said what may have led to the attack.
Gurung was briefly held at gunpoint outside of a resident's home before police arrived.
Chief Brandon del Pozo and State's Attorney Sarah George also visited the scene.
"The incident does not indicate an ongoing public safety risk to the community," del Pozo said.
Officers said Gurung sought police attention for mental health reasons last Saturday. He told police he had concerns about his deteriorating relationship with his wife.
Gurung was brought to UVM Medical Center for treatment.
His father-in-law told police Gurung was voluntarily admitted for a mental health evaluation. He was discharged Thursday at his own request before the attack.
Gurung will be arraigned Friday.
Police will release more information about the case during a press conference Friday.

Dir: Scott Coffey. US. 2013. 97mins
As an up-and-coming teen actress, Emma Roberts has flirted with big-screen stardom in a series of movie vehicles, and while she has always been an appealing actress never seems to get the attention she deserves. In Scott Coffey's Adult World she is a dynamic and engaging presence brimming with youthful dynamism and passions but balanced and some nice underplaying at times. And if the film somehow lacks a dramatic pace to set it apart from other indie US titles, then credit should go to Roberts for giving it real life.
Emma Roberts is bundle of charm and energy and in particular her sparky and sparring relationship with Cusack's cynical poet is nicely handled and never clichéd.
Coffey, whose debut was 2005 Sundance selection Ellie Parker, does a pretty good job in pulling together the disparate story strands of Adult World. With strong performances by Emma Roberts and John Cusack (relishing play odd and quirky as always) the film deserves to find theatrical attention.
Roberts plays Amy, a naïve and at times awkward young woman determined to make a career as a poet (naturally Sylvia Plath is her heroine), but told by her parents in a bland upstate New York town that they can no longer afford to subsidise her attempts to get published.
She grudgingly take a job at a sex shop called Adult World, where in amidst the sex toys and sticky videos her views on life start to change. She gets along with sweet-natured manager Alex (Evan Peters) and against-all-odds bonds with diva transvestite Rubio (Armando Riesco), but her highpoint comes when she meets reclusive poet Rat Billings (Cusack) at a rare book signing.
A fan of his work – she comes across one of his books in a rather contrived scene where she fishes his book from an abandoned car laden with books – she pursues him and essentially forces him to be her mentor, in exchange for cleaning his ramshackle house. He wants nothing to do with her, but Amy's sheer determined exuberance means she won't take no for an answer.
Her journey towards adulthood – or embracing an 'adult world' – may take a familiar filmic route, but Emma Roberts is bundle of charm and energy and in particular her sparky and sparring relationship with Cusack's cynical poet is nicely handled and never clichéd. The film may end on a nicely predictable high, but it is engagingly watchable and scattered with moments to cherish.

House Republicans today, in addition to voting on Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) so-called "Plan B" — which extends the Bush tax cuts on income up to $1 million — will also vote on a bill to replace the spending cuts scheduled for the end of the year.
As The Hill reported, the bill closely mirrors a measure passed by House Republicans in May known as the "The Sequester Replacement Reconciliation Act of 2012." (Here is the underlying legislation, which will include these minor tweaks.) That bill voids both the military spending cuts and domestic spending cuts set to take place in 2013 and replaces them with a host of cuts to domestic spending, including:
— Cuts to food stamps that could knock millions of low-income Americans out of the program;
— Cuts to Meals on Wheels, a program that delivers meals to seniors or other individuals who are unable to prepare their own food;
— Cuts funding to health exchanges that will be created under Obamacare and funding for Medicaid included in the same law;
— Cuts to the Dodd-Frank financial reform law that will yield no cost savings, but will make bailouts of big banks more likely;
— Denying the Child Tax Credit to the parents of American children, if the parents are undocumented immigrants.
The White House threatened to veto this set of spending cuts back in May, calling them "a particular burden on the middle-class and the most vulnerable among us."
The inclusion of these cuts is ostensibly to placate House Republicans upset at Boehner for advancing "Plan B," which does nothing on the spending side of the federal government's ledger. Plan B already includes provisions that will cut taxes for some of the wealthiest Americans while raising them for low- and middle-income families.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Hamas on Thursday issued a veiled command for the residents of Gaza to ignore Israeli warnings of impending aerial strikes and to remain in their homes as human shields.
Israel routinely warns Palestinians, even targeted terrorist leaders, of planned strikes on their homes at least 5–10 minutes before the bombs actually fall. Most often, these warnings come in the form of a telephone call or a "knock on the roof" using low-impact mortar shells.
The reason homes are targeted is because Hamas typically hides its weapons in and launches its attacks from nearby civilian population centers. Additionally, Israel has been bombing the homes of senior Hamas officials, arguing that these locations have become terrorist command and control centers.
The latest Hamas directive came in the form of a request that Gazans not "cooperate" with Israel by paying heed to the advanced warnings.
"The goal of these [Israeli warnings] is to create confusion among the citizens. Citizens are not to heed (or cooperate with) these messages and are not to leave their homes," read the order issued by the Hamas Ministry of Interior.
In other words, those who do flee their homes when Israel gives them the chance to do so could be labeled as traitors and therefore face a fate far worse than Israeli bombs.
Hamas has intentionally placed the people it rules between a rock and a hard place.
Jimmy Carter and a number of other "respected" international leaders insist these terrorists, who have as much disdain for their own people as they do for their enemies, are a legitimate governing entity and must be negotiated with.
In a 2009 interview with NBC, Carter insisted Hamas could be trusted. He added that "there won't be peace in the Middle East without Hamas involvement," and urged the US government and Israel to negotiate with the terror group.
And the West wonders why it has been so unsuccessful in brokering peace.

In Madrid, the young video-artist, Álex Pachón, has created an installation at La Abadía in order to show the states of mind that the city creates in its inhabitants and vice versa, the inhabitants' states of mind that condition city life. The installation brings to life the city of our dreams - ideals and longings - together with the city of our nightmares - the city we would prefer not to see.
After having completed his training in audiovisual communication at the Universidade de Passo Fundo (Brazil), the University of Extremadura (Spain) and the Universidade do Minho (Braga, Portugal), Pachón now combines personal projects as a creator with work within the field of visual effects, animation as a digital artist and art direction for the cinema, together assignments within the realms of advertising, the stage arts and events.
He has lived and worked in Madrid, Barcelona, Portugal, Brazil and the United Kingdom, working for clients such as Artfutura, La Fura dels Baus, the Munich Opera, Olympic Broadcast Services, Mediapro, Sogecable, Tigrelab, Mercat de les Flors, Barcelona City Hall and Teatro de La Abadía.
This year he was awarded the Canal+ 2014 Prize for Video Creation for his piece entitled Cracks, in which he combines cinema experimentation, sound art and contemporary dance. Some of his works have been shown on key cultural forms such as Cultura Inquieta and Fubiz, Metrópolis on TVE2, and Canal+ Xtra. His work has also appeared in the American Dance Video Anthology 2014 and at the Contemporary Art Biennial of Taipei, Taiwan.
In Naples, Carmine Maringola has created a photo story about the memory of the deceased.
Carmine Maringola was born in Torre del Greco in the province of Naples in 1974. He graduated with honors in architecture in 1999 at the University of Naples Federico II. He alternates his work between production designer, photographer and actor, living the theatrical experience fully. In 1994, he meets a piece of the Neapolitan Living Theatre with which he starts its experience as an actor and stage designer. Between 1994 and 2001, he participated in various productions with both the Living Theatre and with the investigating team Neapolitan Tutuguri. In 2003, he moved to Palermo where he worked as an actor for the theater company Lelio. In 2005, he meets Emma Dante and joins the company's South West Coast as an actor, stage designer and photographer. He takes photos of shows such as dogs Branch, Le Pulle, The trilogy of goggles. He works for opera houses such as the Opéra Comique in Paris, the Teatro Petruzzelli in Bari. He is currently working towards the creation of the show "Gisela!", which will open the 2015 opera season of the Teatro Massimo of Palermo.

Editorial: Have Sex!
Spring/Summer 2012
Sexuality is an integral part of human identity. A healthy sex life may include relationships that evolve into friendships and sometimes lifelong commitments. And it can contribute to happiness, confidence, and pride. Yet persistent stigmas surrounding aging and HIV often limit the opportunities for sexual expression among older adults, especially those with HIV. When combined with other stigmas, such as homophobia, transphobia, or racism, it's a wonder that many ever get out of their beds, much less into someone else's!
Persistent ignorance and prejudice contribute to many older adults with HIV being afraid to speak openly about their sexuality with their physicians and services providers, who too often, perhaps unwittingly, exhibit biases of their own. For an older adult with HIV who wishes to enjoy a full life that includes a healthy sex life, persistent and pervasive stigmas can lead to social isolation, depression, and selfesteem issues. And they can create other challenges like failing to practice safer sex consistently.
People with HIV of every age face tremendous disclosure challenges in sexual relationships. Widespread myths that fuel HIV stigma lead some to conclude that people with HIV are a public health danger and shouldn't be having sex at all. Facts relating to safer sex, treatment that leads to undetectable viral loads, and other prevention methods are ignored. Worse, where HIV is criminalized, people with HIV are effectively banned from having sex if they aren't prepared to disclose, no matter their sexual behavior or the level of risk, and are frequently prosecuted even when they do.
Notwithstanding the challenges and pervasive myths (including that older adults are either monogamous or asexual), there is substantial evidence that many people remain sexually active well past age 50, and often with multiple partners. And, like others, older adults have unprotected sex. But unlike virtually all other at-risk populations, there are very few HIV or STI prevention interventions targeted to those who are in middle age or beyond. For a host of reasons, many older adults have drastically different experiences with and perceptions about HIV than their younger counterparts, including the belief that they are less at-risk than others.
What to do? Here's a short and smart advocacy and policy agenda for leaders in the U.S. and around the world:
Aging is challenging -- as is living with HIV -- but it doesn't have to be. A coalition of advocates, public health agencies, and service providers must work to ensure that older adults, regardless of their HIV status, are able to age gracefully, soundly, and healthily. And that includes having exciting and healthy sex lives!

WTP Development Status Meeting
Remember, any committer can add an agenda item. Typically, short announcements or news items go in the "Announcements" section at the beginning. Longer items or issues requiring discussion should go in the "Other business" section at end.
Announcements And Special Reports
WTP Calendar
(Weekly Google Calendar updated through June, 2011)
For Indigo/Helios overall dates, see a Simultaneous Release Calendar
Focus on Quality (Neil)
- Focus Item:
- Untargeted severity "Major" and higher bugs opened before March 1st, 2011 (This week - 23; Last week - 23)
- Options:
- Target to a specific release or "future" if planning to fix but not in the next release
- Adjust severity as appropriate
- Untargeted bugs and enhancements with patches attached over 1 year old (This week - 16; Last week - 16)
- Untargeted bugs and enhancements with patches attached (This week - 32; Last week - 30)
- Ready to vote for release latest build?
- Please document your Project's testing and approval by Friday, 5/13, noon (Eastern Time)
- Assumption for now is that the 5/11 build will be our final build for declaration.
- We will not officially release until 5/20 to allow one quiet week.
3.2.4 Schedule
- 5/11 M build final build (one week of buffer following this week, quiet week, until 5/20 (respin would requires +3))
See "references" [1] for detailed explanation of what these dates mean.
Bug Review
- Bugs targeted to 3.2.4 -- still one?
- Ready to declare RC1 latest build?
- can we fix/respin for "releng test" failures?
- RC1 05/12 (for delivery to Indigo+2 on 05/17) (after this build, still PMC +1)
- RC2 05/19 (for delivery to Indigo+2 on 05/24) (after this build, begin PMC +2)
- RC3 05/26 (for delivery to Indigo+2 on 05/31) (after this build, begin PMC +3)
- RC4 06/02 (for delivery to Indigo+2 on 06/07) [Final build]
Bug Review
- Unfixed bugs targeted to the past -- please triage!
Other business
- Time for spring cleaning. Project Leads, our Indigo IP Logs are due 5/18. So, it is a good time to ...
- Review your IP Logs to prepare for the WTP IP Log submission. This should be done before the end of next week. The "Contribution Review" tool can be found here - http://www.eclipse.org/projects/tools/ (on the left side menu). It is useful for identifying patches that may have been committed without being flagged as IP.
- Another maintenance release proposed: Several projects have requested another maintenance release on Helios, so the PMC has agreed it is feasible to have a 3.2.5 release.
- Schedule to be proposed later. And we still need to workout how to balance multiple streams
- (i.e. we don't ask everyone to test every week each of the three: Helios maintenance, Indigo maintenance, and Juno maintenance. ...."
- Committers must make sure the streams are cumlative ... that is, a fix going into Helios maintenance needs to go into Indigo maintenance which needs to go into Juno release
- Nitin - status back regarding Babel maps
- Indigo builds are happening, Helios values are not automatically used
- This means all project must enter for Indigo! - please check - we'll review next week.
- Certainly any "new" maps (such as for Libra) would have to be added ... and doubt if "we" know how to do that for GIT/SVN repos.
- ↑ Our plan dates are on 'Friday' of the week. But, we produce and test the build on Thursday of the week, and ideally declare on Thursday. The dates in the Google Web Tools group calendar are for 'Thursdays' since that's a calendar for committers. We give ourselves the buffer to Friday, as our "public" date, that others can pick up our build, just in case a regression is found on Thursday and we have to respin and retest. [Technically, some might say, we still have till the following Tuesday or Wednesday for some "Simultaneous Release" due dates ... but it's hard to do much in that window, without disrupting everyone ... so we'll not use that buffer, except for the worst emergencies.]

There has been a great deal of chatter among the public, landscape and horticulture professionals, and university faculty about these observed outbreaks. To clear up some mis-conceptions and provide the facts, Dr. Whitney Cranshaw,Colorado State University Extension Entomologist has provided the following explanation.
In parts of eastern Colorado extremely large numbers of lady beetles are being observed. Their numbers even prompted a June 18, 2009 note on the front page of the Pueblo Chieftain, and the southeastern counties appear to presently (June 19, 2009) have the highest numbers of lady beetles.
This is the result of previously high aphid populations on a wide variety of plants. The lady beetles develop feeding on the aphids. Aphid populations often spike in springs when there is a prolonged period of cool, wet weather. Some reasons for this include:
- Succulent new plant growth, promoted by rains and favorable temperatures, provides host plant conditions on which many kinds of aphids thrive;
- Rainfalls wash off the honeydew that aphids excrete, which is used by lady beetles as a supplementary food and a means to locate their aphid prey.
- Heavy rain falls may also dislodge some of the predators.
- Cool temperature retard the development of predators in relation to the aphids.
Although all insects are "cold-blooded" and develop in relation to temperature, the predatory insects usually have a higher base temperature requirement for activity. That means that cool temperatures slow down the predators quite a bit more than their aphid prey, allowing the aphid populations to largely escape predation and their numbers quickly soar.
Aphids can occur on a very wide variety of plants. Indeed it is hard to find any plant species that does not support one or more of the 350+ species of aphids that occur in Colorado. Oaks, lindens, walnuts, poplars, Norway maple, and most stone fruits are among the trees that often support large numbers of aphids. Spirea, roses, and many flowers can be common aphid hosts in spring. Weeds may now have large numbers of aphids, such as Canada thistle. Furthermore there are a great many native plants where aphids may be abundant; sage is currently supporting tremendous numbers of aphids - and developing lady beetles - in southeastern Colorado.
Ultimately, the predators do catch up. And because large numbers of aphids are present, large numbers of lady beetles are then produced. In the case of many areas this year, truly extraordinarily large numbers of lady beetles.
The most common species of lady beetle presently associated with the spring aphid bloom, by far, is the convergent lady beetle (Hippodamia convergens). A distant second is the seven-spotted lady beetle (Coccinella septempunctata). Green lacewings are also common predators consuming aphids at this time.Convergent lady beetle - Hippodamia convergens Guerin-Meneville. Photo courtesy of Whitney Cranshaw, Colorado State University, Bugwood.orgSevenspotted lady beetle - Coccinella septempunctata (Linnaeus). Photo Courtesy of Frank Peairs, Colorado State University, Bugwood.org
What will happen next? Lady beetles are general predators, although aphids are their preferred host. With the large numbers of lady beetles present they should largely annihilate most every aphid over the next few weeks. They will also incidentally consume some mites, scale insects and perhaps some eggs and young stages of caterpillars and leaf beetles. These types of insects may also be suppressed.
But soon there will not be enough food for the lady beetles to continue to sustain themselves and reproduce. So they will then likely "check out" out for the year. At some point every season lady beetles go into a condition known as diapause where they stop reproduction and slow metabolism. It is in this diapause condition that the insects survive winter. So most of the lady beetles, at least most of the convergent lady beetles, may decide to call it quits for the season and go into their winter dormancy earlier than normal, perhaps by mid-July.
The convergent lady beetle is the species that does migrate to the high country for the "off-season". Hikers may see masses of these lady beetles near prominent points in the foothills and mountains along the Front Range during summer and early fall.
Of course, if the predators largely vacate, that may again open up a late season opportunity for the aphids to rebound. But so much can occur between now and then for this to be very predictable.Two Colorado State University Extension Fact Sheets that may be useful references are 5.594 Lady Beetles and 5.511 Aphids on Shade Trees and Ornamentals.

I've heard that TT2 code is ugly because it uses '[%' instead of the more familiar '<', and that it 'FOR' is a heavy burden for the eyes of the programmer because it is "shouting" at him, but I think that the features that make TT2 code standout in the text being templated make it easier to parse and understand and they help my eyes in their work.
Beside that purely ergonomical argument I don't see any purpose of the mini language and I think I am not that thrilled by the future direction of TT.

the sigils thing is surely a matter of taste. I personally find them useful although it is true with perl they are slightly less consistent then one might hope. I know this was a big early focus of Perl6, but not sure if everyone agrees that was successful. I think like a lot of perl programmers I tend to use refs a lot, so my code is scatter with '$'. I don't know if this is good or not.
The TT2 thing I think the biggest problem is for template authors that are more designers the big html editors don't have great hilighting support for the syntax and that is problematic. That I think is more a reflection on the priority (or lack of it) given to Perl by some of the companies that author these tools.
AFAIK you can use lowercase in TT2, there's a switch in there somewhere. Personally I've been moving away from TT style templating, although Xslate has some interesting features.
I think anyone of the mindset that are better than [tags] should be forced to work with HTML::Template for a project. They will see the error in their ways

I don't my $ but -> is ugly... at least for object access... looking forward to Perl 6 . accessor... though I kind alike the . as a concatenation.
[% is just ... too much couldn't it have been just one character? case insensitivity in the names would be alright. Though my biggest complaint is how much finicking I have to do to get the [%- right.
I guess you know that you can change the tags in TT to be <% aned %> or anything else using the START_TAG and END_TAG options. Dancer defaults to that which tripped me as I was not expecting it.
Which is just what I think is the source of the "bla is ugly" comments of many people. "I am not used to it..." or "I did not expect it..." and so now "I hate it". Very human reaction.
- Illusori said...
Mini-language template systems provide you with a layer of sandboxing from the application code, and provide a simpler learning curve than learning perl, and specifically which subset of perl you can use within the template.
You may not find that useful, many people however, rather like being able to allow their designers to perform basic tasks in the template, rather than having to pull a full-time developer of their current project to deal with it.
As Gabor said in TT it's just configurable.
My personal feeling first days about [% was a bit wtf ...
But as soon as you get familiar to it, it's excellent, like everything in TT in general.
The same for sigils... it's easy to blame sigils, verbose syntax, etc (it's easy to blame anything). But when you get used to, you loose them in other languages.
- zby said...
Thanks for the comments. I think the main point here is that it is easy to have this 'what the fuck' feeling for trivial reasons, but it is not that easy to retract this. Human mind is very good in rationalizing.

ICS Value, June 2014 = 2197 (Base = 1000, March 2011)
The Index of Cyber Security is a measure of risk. A higher index value indicates a perception of increasing risk, while a lower index value indicates the opposite.
Introduction - June 2014
The Index of Cyber Security rose by 1.1% over the previous month. The increase is largely due to an increase in phishing and social engineering attempts, a worsening of the public perception of the state of cyber security and increased targeting of counterparties.
Key findings
The top sub-indices for the Index did not change from last month.
- Public perception of the state of cyber insecurity was the worst perceived sub-index in the minds of security practitioners.
- Risk from counterparties, ie the risk from information compromise as a result of sharing information with insecure third parties (counterparties, vendors, partners etc), was rated as the number two risk by our respondents.
- The threat from attacks by nation states was rated the number three risk by our respondents.
All risk indicators were up when compared to the previous month.
Detailed report
As before, in the coming days, we will share with our respondents the detailed report from this survey, outlining each of the component sub-indices that constitute the aggregate index. We continue to expand our respondent base each month and are looking for qualified referrals to security practitioners. If you would like to participate in this project, or know of someone who might be a valuable contributor to this effort, please do let us know.

The obvious question, then, is … why continue? Both Kirsten Powers and Ron Fournier have spent the last day offering cris des coeurs over the incompetence of the White House, as the National Journal columnist did yesterday and Powers did last night on Fox News Special Report (via RCP and Truth Revolt):
KIRSTEN POWERS: Well, I think his explanation is probably the true explanation, that they need to do this, but at the same time, it's now gotten to the point where it seems like there's an exemption made for pretty much everybody except for individuals. A lot of people who have really been screwed over by the law, you know, who are left without insurance or with extremely expensive insurance. So, I think that Ron Fournier of The National Journal wrote something that ran today about —
BRET BAIER: This was after he expressed himself last night on the panel.
POWERS: The headline is why I'm getting tired of defending Obamacare. And I'm going to say amen, brother, because it's exactly how I feel. People who have supported the law, who support universal health care, are constantly put in the position of having to defend this president, who has really incompetently put this together, rolled it out, and that's why he has to do this. It's why he has to keep doing this, because it's not working.
The objection from both assumes that this project had a hope of succeeding in the first place. Let's not forget that ObamaCare passed nearly four years ago, and HHS had 42 months of lead time until its rollout date. Four months after that, the White House keeps shifting deadlines, plainly to avoid the political consequences of its utter failure and ineptitude. How long is long enough to climb off the bandwagon?
Fournier's argument on that question rests on a supposed lack of alternatives:
I want the ACA to work because the GOP has not offered a serious alternative that can pass Congress.
That, however, is a circular argument — because a Congress controlled by Democrats in one chamber will not pass any kind of replacement for ObamaCare, no matter how "serious" or workable it might be. Harry Reid wouldn't even bring it onto the agenda, let alone schedule a floor vote, and Democrats would close ranks with the White House even if he did. Fournier's argument boils down to the acceptance that Democrats won't change their minds, so we may as well keep cheering on the failure, and hope that the incompetents that produced it over four years can fix it in six months. That's absurd, but it's the final fig leaf for less-partisan supporters of ObamaCare.
Fournier's colleague Sam Baker argues that Obama's doing most of the damage to his law now, not Republicans:
Republicans have done everything they can think of to strike down Obamacare, but they've still only managed to come in second place. For all the House votes to repeal, defund, or weaken Obamacare, some of the most significant setbacks for the law have come from the administration itself.
Monday's delay in the law's employer mandate was just the latest in a series of self-inflicted wounds, just like the HealthCare.gov launch and delays in several programs that simply weren't ready for prime time.
To be clear, the self-inflicted wounds haven't been fatal. Obamacare is moving forward—and the doomsayers' prophecies have fallen flat: People are signing up, premiums are lower than expected, and the law's basic survival is assured. It gets stronger every month as more people pour into new insurance marketplaces in each state.
But the law does have a specific vision of the future of health insurance. And to hit that vision, it relies on a delicate balance of popular carrots—think coverage for those with preexisting conditions—and unpopular sticks, such as the ever-controversial individual mandate. And the administration keeps chipping away at unpopular parts—sometimes directly, and sometimes by handing Republicans a political weapon.
By the way, who's going to fix the website, which defenders have mostly cited as the main obstacle on the path to Nirvana? The names have changed, but the faces look awfully familiar:
After denigrating the work of CGI and replacing it as the largest contractor on the federal health care website, the Obama administration is negotiating with the company to extend its work on the project for a few months.
And the new prime contractor, Accenture, is trying to recruit and hire CGI employees to work under its supervision.
I'm sure that will work out well…

Johns Hopkins HIV Treatment Short Guide
May 31, 2002
The 2002 Abbreviated Guide to Medical Management of HIV Infection, by John G. Bartlett, M.D. of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, is a quick reference for medical professionals -- "intended for bedside clinical management decisions. The parent text, Medical Management of HIV Infection, provides the scientific foundation for recommendations." It came out six months later and is more up to date than the parent edition from which it was derived. Well-informed patients may use either book to check on details, understand background of their treatment and why certain tests and other procedures are important, and find recommended information sources. No guideline can consider all individual cases, however, and experienced physicians will often have good reasons for doing things differently; we would certainly trust a specialist's decision over a document. But for the increasing number of patients who are getting inadequate care due to financial obstacles and a dysfunctional medical system, references like these can help in advocating for oneself.
The Abbreviated Guide is easy to get hold of. It is free on the Web, or you can order copies for $5.
Some of the topics covered:

A webpage for registering parapsychological experiments has been implemented by the Koestler Parapsychology Unit (KPU) at the University of Edinburgh, with Jim Kennedy advising on the development of the registry. The value of study registration for a controversial area such as parapsychology has been mentioned many times over the years. Prospective registration of experiments provides a database for research synthesis that is not subject to possible reporting or publication biases. Registration also increases confidence by providing clear evidence that the key hypotheses and analyses were planned prior to conducting the experiment. Among other benefits, registration should be of value to editors and reviewers during the publication process. Registration of experiments is a well-established practice in medical research and enhances the credibility of a study.
The KPU registry webpage is at:http://www.koestler-parapsychology.psy.ed.ac.uk/TrialRegistry.html
Other options for study registration may become available in the future. The KPU registry webpage is also intended to serve as a resource that provides information about other registration options as they become available.
Register with the Parapsychological Association website to participate in the discussion, or sign in if you already have an account.
The Parapsychological Association is an international professional organization of scientists and scholars engaged in the study of psi (or 'psychic') experiences, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, psychic healing, and precognition. The primary objective of the PA is to achieve a scientific understanding of these experiences.
First established in 1957, the PA has been an affiliated organization of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) since 1969. The PA is a non-profit, non-adjudicating organization that endorses no ideologies or beliefs other than the value of rigorous scientific and scholarly inquiry.

Reviewed By Curtis H (Arvada, CO) Reviewed for a 2008 Infiniti M35 —4/4/2015 6:31 AM
Bought this for a 2008 Infiniti M35x and have been happy with it so far. The factory air system was too restrictive and this CAI really opened it up. For the install, the drive side wheel well had to come off and supposed to stay off but I didn't like that. I ended up modifying the wheel well cover by cutting a hole in the bottom of it and added "vent" holes as well so I could put the cover back on the car and still get the necessary air flow. Overall seems to be a great quality and I love it.

Stripe CTF 2 – Web Challenges
I participated in the Stripe CTF Web Attacks and thus far it was the most well designed CTF I have ever encountered (and I have participated in a couple dozen). This is the second Stripe CTF, the first was exploitation based and this one was web based.
Some Concepts
CTF stands for Capture the Flag, its a genre of games where you have to get past enemy lines and take their flag and bring it back to your base to win a score. Usually hacking games are CTF like, you have to hack a system, find the flag (its a random string) and bring it to your home to get scores for that level.
There are plenty of servers for a CTF host, since many attackers try to just break the servers instead of solving the challenges. Also every participant's environment has to be secluded to achieve best challenge experiences, so lots of cautious programming on the host side is required.
There are almost always lots of bugs on CTFs due to huge codebases, and hackers tend to hack systems in a way that the host didn't plan of, and get the score; thus the host people have to watch the event and remove those bugs asap, and to respond to questions and feedbacks of the participants.
How did I do
I participated in this CTF a couple days ago, at midnight. Unfortunately my beloved uncle had just passed away and he had no sons, so I had to take care of much of funeral stuff. I only had a couple hours at midnight (at the cost of not sleeping for the funeral) to participate in this, so I did. I was able to solve 8 out of 9 challenges in almost 3 hours, and left for the funeral chores afterwards.
The 8th question was a little lengthy and I returned to it after almost 30 hours (after the funeral and a brief rest) and solved it in a few hours. Below I'm going to discuss the questions and their answers (how to hack them) as an educational document.
I'm going to copy the challenges from Stripe-CTF, then provide the solutions in a section below each of them.

If you've never talked about retirement with your spouse, you're not alone. But it's a crucial conversation if you want your retirement dreams to become reality. Thirty-six percent of couples
If you've never talked about retirement with your spouse, you're not alone. But it's a crucial conversation if you want your retirement dreams to become reality.
Thirty-six percent of couples say they haven't even thought about a retirement plan, and 47% of couples disagree about how much money they'll need in retirement, according to a Fidelity Investments survey of 1,051 couples in 2015.
'People are more comfortable talking about sex than money,' says John Schwartz, author of 'This Is the Year I Put My Financial Life in Order' and a reporter who covers climate change for The New York Times.
'It's so emotionally fraught that it's a topic a lot of people just avoid,' he says.How to begin
The million-dollar question that undergirds all other retirement questions is: Are your savings on track to support your desired future lifestyle? Working together to determine this, perhaps using a retirement calculator, can help start the conversation.
Thinking about retirement can be tough for some people. They might associate it with getting old, or a relative's gloomy nursing home experience. If that's true for your spouse, plan your conversations carefully.
Don't bring up retirement when either of you is stressed or tired, says Syble Solomon, financial behavior specialist and creator of Money Habitudes, an online game for figuring out your attitude toward money.
Instead, talk about it on vacation, or over a nice meal.
Mary Ballin, a certified financial planner with Mosaic Financial Partners in Walnut Creek, California, recommends 'money dates,' where couples set aside time 'to get away from the house and the load of laundry and the pile of dishes and the kids' to discuss any money topic.The power of open-ended questions
Don't make demands when you talk with your spouse about retirement. Instead, ask open-ended, nonthreatening questions.
'One way to start is when you see what's happening to people you know,' Solomon says. If your neighbors just sold their house to travel around the country in an RV, ask your spouse, 'What do you think about that?'
Another idea is to envision what retirement might look like. Ask your spouse, 'When you think about retirement, when you wake up in the morning, what time of day do you think you would wake up? What would you see out the window?' Solomon says " maybe it's the beach, the mountains, or your current view.
'You start talking about what are people's images, their expectations, their dreams,' Solomon says.
But don't be surprised if you disagree on some points " or even many points.
'You might have two totally different ideas about what you want to do in retirement,' says Shelly-Ann Eweka, a director of financial planning at TIAA in Denver.
'There's going to be some compromises,' she says.Getting specific
After some initial discussions, you might be ready to address some more concrete questions together. Here are three questions to ask each other:1. What will we do in retirement?
People often forget to consider their day-to-day lives, says Rick Kahler, founder of Kahler Financial Group in Rapid City, South Dakota.
'What I find they don't talk about is, 'What are our days going to look like?'' he says.
For example, maybe you want to travel and your spouse prefers to stay home and garden.
Differences around discretionary spending aren't necessarily a problem, says Jill Fopiano, chief executive officer at O'Brien Wealth Partners.
'In some cases, one of the spouses travels a lot and the other doesn't,' she says.
A trickier problem is disagreeing over major financial decisions, she says; for example, one spouse wants to downsize to a smaller house and the other doesn't. Resolving those issues may take considerable time and compromise.2. When will we retire?
Half of the couples surveyed by Fidelity disagreed on when they'll retire " a worrisome finding given that your retirement age is important in determining how much you need to save.
The good news? Figuring out at what age you want to retire can lead to deeper conversations. Having to wrestle with that and similar questions 'got us talking about money and our expectations and our desires,' Schwartz says about him and his wife. 'It was a really valuable conversation.'
Another important question: Will you retire at the same time? The answer can have serious implications for how and when you tap retirement savings and claim Social Security. Here are some ideas on when to take Social Security benefits.3. What are our top priorities?
Your financial situation will determine what you can do in retirement, so it makes sense to prioritize what's most important.
'Start prioritizing,' Eweka says, 'and then ask: 'What is it going to take for us to afford it?''
'Realistically,' she adds, 'if you have five things on your list, you may be able to get three of them done. That's why you prioritize. Or, you may be lucky " you might be able to do all five.'And if you're behind?
The sooner you start saving, the better, because the power of compounding means your investment returns start building on themselves, making your job a lot easier.
One rule of thumb: If you have a 401(k) or similar plan at work, save enough there to get any company match. That's free money you don't want to pass up.
If you don't have a workplace plan, then setting up an IRA or Roth IRA is the next best thing. (We review IRA providers here.)
If you're saving something now, consider bumping up your savings rate just a little bit every year. Even small increases can have a big effect over time. See how 1% savings hikes can spice up your retired life by $1 million.
