Romney: Fixing US economy a moral imperative
WASHINGTON – Accusing his rival of a failure of "tragic proportion," Republican Mitt Romney charged Thursday that the nation under President Barack Obama has failed to keep its "moral commitment to help every American help himself."
Casting the need to fix the U.S. economy as a moral imperative — but without offering any new proposals — Romney said free enterprise ideas and less government intrusion would help spur a rebound.
"It has become clear that this president simply doesn't understand or appreciate these fundamental truths of our economic system. Over the last three and a half years, record numbers of Americans have lost their jobs or just disappeared from the workforce or could only find part-time jobs," Romney said, reading from a teleprompter. "Record numbers of Americans are living in poverty today — over 46 million people in this country, living below the poverty line."
That, he said, was unacceptable.
"This is not just a failure of policy. It is a moral failure of tragic proportion. Our government has a moral commitment to help every American help himself," the likely Republican presidential nominee said to applause at a Missouri business that builds military tents. "And that that commitment has been broken."
Obama campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith said Romney delivered a "dishonest" speech that offered no new ideas to help the economy.
"Mitt Romney has promised to use his experience to turn around the economy, but all he has offered to date are negative and dishonest speeches tearing down President Obama," Smith said.
Romney is correct when he refers to the absolute number of 46 million people living in poverty. The Census Bureau reported last September that the ranks of the nation's poor had swelled to a record 46.2 million, or nearly 1 in 6 Americans, as a result of the economic downturn that left millions of people struggling or without jobs and turning to the government for assistance.
Many of the job losses, however, occurred before Obama took office or in the early months of his administration and before his economic policies could be put into place.
Romney also didn't lay out any proposals to help those in poverty. Instead, he said an economy with fewer regulations would add jobs more quickly than the mere 69,000 that were added in May. Since averaging a healthy 252,000 jobs a month from December through February, job growth has slowed to a lackluster average of 96,000 a month. Romney blamed the man he expects to face in the Nov. 6 election.
"President Obama's vision is very different and deeply flawed. ... There is nothing morally right about trying to turn government dependence into a substitute for the dignity of hard work," he said.
Unemployment rose to 8.2 in May, up from 8.1 the previous month, and stands to be a drag on Obama' re-election bid. While the economy has improved since Obama took office in January 2009, recent economic reports provide little reason to celebrate. Romney has been dogged about blaming Obama for the economy although instant turnarounds are impossible and factors beyond a president's control often come into play.
"You see, for three and a half years, President Obama has expanded government instead of empowering the American people. He's put us deeper in debt. He's slowed the recovery, harmed the economy," Romney said. "And he has attacked the cornerstone of American prosperity: our economic freedom."

Egypt's new constitution
Egypt's constituent assembly is working away at the country's new constitution, which they hope to finish and put to a referendum by the end of the year.
Some articles of concern so far are article 8, on religious right and freedoms, which states that "freedom of belief is safeguarded" without specifying that the state is responsible for doing the safeguarding and gives the three heavenly religions (therefore limiting recognized religions to Islam, Christianity and Judaism) the right to practice but only "according to the law and without violating the general order"; and article 36, on women's rights, which states that "the state will take all legislative and amdministrative measure to entench the principle of women's equality with men in the political, cultural, economic and social fields as long as it does not violate the rulings of Islamic Sharia [...]."
The much-discussed article 2 for now remains the same (I believe) as it was in the 1971 constitution, invoking "the principles of Sharia" as "the main source" of law.
Another area of concern is an article that would make the ancient religious institution of Al Azhar the official "reference" for determining whether legislation is in accordance with Sharia. This idea keeps being taken up then taken back then taken up again by Islamist parties, seemingly based on their sense of their capacity to eventually control Al Azhar.
The assembly actually has a pretty good website, where you can look up draft artices (and give them thumbs up or down) and read the minutes of the 12 general assemblies held so far. But sessions haven't been televised (which would have reached a much wider audience), the negotiations over various articles remain an opaque affair and generally there has not been an effort to engage Egyptian society in a real debate over the constitution.
A number of liberal and secular figures — already great underrepresented in the assembly — have boycotted. They are likely to be unhappy with the final result, but it is doubtful that they have the leverage necessary to challenge it -- with the army now largely out of the equation and with President Morsi holding the power to dissolve and reconstitute a new assembly of his own choosing (Morsi recently said he cannot interfere in the constitutional assembly's negotiations, which — given the sword of Damocles he holds over the entire process —is patently disingenuous).
So far as I can tell, there is little indication of the powers of the presidency being dramatically diminished. The upper house of parliament — the Shura Council — which has been largely considered an irrelevant, influence-peddling body, is apparently to stay. And the question of what kind of electoral system Egypt will adopt (individual candidates, party lists, or some combination of the two) remains under discussion.

nomadlabs needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 115 designs submitted by 42 freelance designers.
nomadlabs is a small software studio started by two recent college grads. a lot of our work will be released for free and/or as open-source under our brand, making our logo highly visible.
we are good programmers with lots of ideas when it comes to projects, but neither of us is a designer, so we are always looking for designers to add some polish to our projects before release.
our projects will target a broad audience with varying tastes and interests, so the logo shouldn't be anything too niche. something with broad appeal that commands strong presence.
we are looking for a logo with a clean, simple aesthetic, without being generic.
like we said, neither of us is a designer, so we don't know exactly what we are looking for, so feel free to take creative license. we will try to provide lots of feedback as quickly as possible to help pin down what works and what doesn't
a lot of our projects require a logo and a favicon, so ideally your submission would contain both a full logo (with both the brandname and graphical element) and a square (logo graphic only) version.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Sevendust Turn to Crowdfunding for New Acoustic Album
Sevendust are ready to rock a new acoustic album for the fans, but they're asking for a little help to further the project. The band is the latest to utilize a PledgeMusic campaign to help fund one of their passion projects.
The band is seeking to raise finances for the album through an early pre-order, explaining in an introductory letter: "We keep hearing from so many of you that you want a studio acoustic album and another full acoustic tour and we've been dying to do it. We are now finally in a position to get you another really special acoustic record with new 7Dust songs and special remakes of older ones that we gather your input on and present you with a worthy acoustic record." The band reveals that every order will come with a download of the record and come with access to exclusive bonus content.
In addition, as with most PledgeMusic campaigns, there are a variety of tiers of donations with each giving fans more rewards for their funding. Included are a variety of signed items (CD, poster, drum sticks, drum head, cymbals, road-used guitars, guitar cabinets) along with specialty items like a private dinner with the band ($2,000), a private acoustic concert at your home ($10,000), a studio visit and BBQ with a listening party or a Skype guitar lesson with Clint Lowery and John Connolly.
With the campaign just launching, Sevendust have almost reached their financial goal and there's still 129 days left. In addition, the band has agreed to donate a percentage of the money raised to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. To make a donation to fund Sevendust's acoustic album, check out the campaign at this location.

I don't know how hard it would be, but I think it would also be interesting to see who has changed their vote from last year.

WTF?!? Bob Nightengale voted for Rafael Palmeiro, but DIDN"T vote for Bagwell. How the holy hell does he explain that???

I don't think he actually gets a vote, but Bob Costas was asked if he would vote for Bagwell on Clubhouse Confidential yesterday. He agreed with the host that Bagwell's numbers made him a slam dunk Hall of Famer, but said "when in doubt, keep him out".

Based on that link it would seem that Larkin is a lock and Bagwell, Morris, and Raines are on the fence. Of course that is only 39 ballots out of 500+ so a lot can still change.

I have a feeling people who vote for Bagwell are more likely to reveal their ballots than those who don't. Just a hunch.

John Heyman revealed his ballot today on MLB Network. He didn't vote for Bagwell.
- December 30, 2011 at 8:05 PM
- Reuben said...
I agree with AstroBrit- I think people who aren't active baseball writers anymore (but still have a vote) are less likely to vote for Bagwell, and of course won't really have a forum to reveal their ballots.
If the "exit polling" figure remains around 60%, I'd expect his actual vote total to be more like 50%. Which is still a decent improvement, I guess.

Let's put this whole thing into perspective: Take the voting away from the baseball writers!
Half of these guys are sloppy, wannabe, second-rate hacks who can't really write and use their "power" to convey their own personal agenda for or against particular players.
It doesn't matter what these guys THINK. The player's actions on the field should be the deal maker - IN or OUT.
If the current HOF'ers were judged for both their on AND off-field shenanigans, Mantle, Cobb and MANY others would still be waiting to be enshrined in Cooperstown.
Give me a break. I believe MLB should start banning sports writers and rescind their voting privileges the very second their voting borders the insane. People like Mr. Bloom for starters!
Let both the players and fans decide.

Bagwell should get in, but I feel he may have lacked some national exposure that some of the writers apparently look for.
Remember, Bagwell played his first nine seasons in the Astrodome, a notorious pitcher's ballpark. Nevertheless, he put up impressive numbers offensively. And what really good first baseman in recent history had his speed?

Jenny Agutter
Born: 20 December 1952
Birthplace: Taunton, Somerset, England
Best Known As: Star of An American Werewolf in London
In Britain, Jenny Agutter is a respected stage actress; in America, she is remembered as the star of the fantasy films Logan's Run (1976) and An American Werewolf in London (1981). Agutter was still a teen when she appeared in the films The Railway Children (1970, as Roberta) and Walkabout (1971, directed by Nicholas Roeg). Her theater career grew apace; in 1974 she played Miranda in Shakespeare's The Tempest at the National Theater, opposite Sir John Gielgud as Prospero. In the mid-1970s she jumped to Hollywood, appearing as Michael York's love interest in the futuristic sci-fi movie Logan's Run (a film made famous by the brief appearance of Farrah Fawcett). Agutter also appeared in The Man in the Iron Mask (1976, TV, with Richard Chamberlain) and Equus (1977, with Richard Burton); finally she played the nurse in the black comedy An American Werewolf in London. She returned to the theater in the 1980s and 1990s, appearing with the Royal Shakespearian Company and elsewhere. In 2000 she starred in a new version of The Railway Children, this time in the grown-up role of Mother. She also appeared in the 2007 West End production of Equus in which Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe made his major stage debut

The political news media was hijacked today by a debate over whether Boston donors heckled President Barack Obama last night over his tongue-in-cheek remark about the Red Sox' trade of fan favorite Kevin Youkilis to the Chicago White Sox, or whether they were simply chanting "Yoouuuuuuk."
News reports and accounts have varied, so Business Insider found a third-party source who attended last night's event at Boston's Symphony Hall and confirmed that the crowd was indeed yelling "Youuukk."
"They were 100% yelling 'Youk' and not 'boo,'" Andrew "Mook"Lawrence said in an exclusive interview with BI. "I go to a lot of Red Sox games, and every time Kevin Youkilis gets up, everyone yells 'Youuuukkk.'"
"The K is silent," he explained.
Lawrence, a 25-year-old who works for a small-asset management firm in Boston, assured us that he wasn't just trying to defend Obama. He's a registered Republican, and said that he and the President "don't see eye-to-eye" on a lot of issues. His got his ticket to the fundraiser from an acquaintance who could not attend the event.
"Obviously, it's an incredible opportunity to hear the President of the United States speak," Lawrence said, adding that he was impressed by Obama's stage presence. "He's very good at what he does."
And despite his political opinions, Lawrence said he was "100%" sure that the crowd wasn't booing Obama.
But is he sure the crowd wasn't yelling for him?
"They could have been yelling 'Moooook,'" he laughed. "I never thought about that."

The selection criteria used by the ADOT Aeronautics Group, which is part of the Multimodal Planning Division, consisted of accomplishments in the areas of aviation advocacy and community relations, airport management, special events and recognition as well as innovative activities and programs implemented at the airport.
The current award was presented to the airport manager and staff at the Arizona Airports Association Spring Conference in Flagstaff in early May.
While there are 114 airports across Arizona, 83 airports — including 11 privately owned airfields and 14 American Indian-owned airports — are identified in ADOT's system of airports. These 83 airports vary in size and serve different functions in meeting Arizona's aviation and economic needs. Arizona's total economic impact from this system of airports is $58 billion annually, according to ADOT research. ADOT works with 65 of the 83 airports throughout the federal and state grant process as part of the Airport Development Program.
ADOT's Aeronautics Group within the Multimodal Planning Division accepts applications and nominations for Airport of the Year. The Aeronautics Group looks at accomplishments in the areas of community relations, airport management, airport maintenance activities, and innovative activities and programs implemented at airports.

Gold and Silver prices are mostly flat this morning as investors await a Federal Reserve monetary policy decision. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is scheduled for a press conference at 2:15 p.m. (EDT), though the policy decision should be out closer to 12:30 p.m. (EDT). David Morrison of GFT Markets believes that the markets have "priced in significant action from the (Fed). The expectation is for a further round of large-scale asset purchases similar to 2010's $600 billion QE2 program." He continued, "The language accompanying another round of quantitative easing will be all-important" because if the Fed decides to wait, the markets could be in for disappointment.
Prices remained stable after the weekly jobless claims report was released. Claims rose by 15,000 last week, about 12,000 more than expected. Guy Berger of RBS Securities, Inc. said, "The labor market continues to be disappointing. We'd like to see the hiring side pick up. Companies are very cautious given all the uncertainty."
One of the countries hit hardest by the eurozone debt crisis is Spain, which boasts the third-largest economy in the eurozone. Spain's prime minister Mariano Rajoy suggested to parliament yesterday that Spain may not need to ask for a bailout due to the success of the European Central Bank's bond-buying program. Many experts believe a bailout will be necessary eventually, however, and the delay in asking for one could prove to make things worse by way of conditions for receiving bailout funds. Goldman Sachs analysts wrote, "The more the Spanish administration indulges domestic political interests and is perceived to be taking undue advantage of external support, the more explicit conditionality is likely to be demanded."
At 9 a.m. (EDT), the APMEX Precious Metals spot prices were:

This is that the amount of address space for a program's text segment will never exceed 32 bits. Note that I am *not* talking about the data segment. The reason for this is that it's simply too hard to write a program whose instructions require even close to the 32 bit address space. Such a program would be too complex to understand, assuming it's written by humans. Maybe such a program could be generated by a program, but I'm not talking about this. I once added up the text segment of every executable and shared library on a Linux system. I probably counted some files more than once. Even so, the total text size of all these files was less than 2GB. I'm not proposing doing anything about this, such as coming out with an architecture that uses 32-bit text pointers and 64-bit data pointers. That would add needless complexity. But, it's important to realize that this limit exists, and unless we get much smarter, isn't likely to go away.

Lee County Schools personalizes learning using Google solutions
The state of Florida is at the cutting edge of digital learning, and recent state mandates encourage schools to shift from paper-based to digital education. The School District of Lee County needed to provide students with technology that enables them to access digital textbooks, complete their assignments digitally and conduct online research. They also wanted to provide teachers with tools to use videos, interactive activities and shared documents in their lesson plans while staying within the same budget.
"G Suite for Education changes how teachers teach because they can quickly identify when students are struggling and customize content accordingly."
Dwayne Alton, Director of IT support, The School District of Lee County
The School District of Lee County piloted G Suite for Education and introduced 2,000 Chromebooks one year ago. Today, the entire district uses G Suite and Google Classroom, and the middle schools rolled out 18,000 Chromebooks. Teachers who previously used G Suite served as mentors for others, sharing best practices they learned during the pilot. The district introduced these three technologies without additional budget or technical support.
Organization Profile
Located on the southwest coast of Florida, the School District of Lee County educates 94,000 students and employs 12,000 staff. The district's 120 schools include 44 elementary schools, 16 middle schools, 13 high schools and several special education schools and charter schools. The district's mission is to encourage each student to reach his or her full potential.

IWM's collection covers all aspects of conflict involving Britain, its former Empire and the Commonwealth, from the First World War to the present day. Everything we hold tells a story about the experiences of men, women and children caught up in conflict - from works by great artists, filmmakers and photographers to aircraft, tanks and firearms, and from intensely personal diaries, letters and keepsakes to pamphlets, posters and proclamations. These are among the most important personal, political, cultural and technological items held by any museum, nationally or internationally. Together, they reveal the experiences of conflict for the people who created, used and cared for them.
IWM supports and encourages research into the collection, which is open to the public by appointment. You can find out more about accessing the collections on our Research Facilities page.

Two things are immediately brought to mind by the Gospel reading for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, John 3:16-18. One is the ubiquity of John 3:16 amongst evangelical Christians, a key verse in "the Four Spiritual Laws (see Law 1 at http://www.godlovestheworld.com/). I grew up with this verse as perhaps the most significant verse in the Bible. Some of you might remember the rainbow haired man who held up "John 3:16" at sporting events, and who now sadly spends his life in a California prison. The ubiquity of this verse should not allow us to drain it of its power or beauty, or take its message for granted. The second thing that I recall is my childhood wonder that Jesus was God, or was it, is Jesus God? Or was the question, how can Jesus be God? I recall a great deal of confusion as I puzzled over this great mystery: was Jesus a man or God? Was God Jesus as well? Or was Jesus God? (I admit right now that I must have relegated the Holy Spirit to a position off to the side or on the bench, as I do not recall puzzling to the same degree over the person of the Holy Spirit.) As I began to study early Christianity formally I began to note that there was no easy answer or easy explanation to the relation of the three persons of the Trinity. I read the definitions of the Ecumenical Councils at Nicea, Constantinople, and Chalcedon. I found them all compelling, but it seemed that what they were describing was beyond words. It was a mystery and one that had been studied, examined and explained by numerous great minds in the Church, but always with the sense that there was something that could not be explained or grasped this side of heaven. Love seemed to get to the heart of it, but even more to the heart of the matter is Paul's benediction from 2 Corinthians: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you" (13:13). I am not certain how to explain the relationship amongst the Trinity, but what needs to be explained when you experience the grace, love and fellowship? Paul was not operating with any formal definition of the Trinity when he wrote those words, centuries prior to the Ecumenical Councils. He was operating with a lived experience of the Trinity that defied description or confusion, that imposed itself through the very reality of grace, love, and fellowship on his heart and mind. This is how I understand the Trinity. John W. Martens

Dear Donna, I think the homily must have been based on the last portion of the Gospel reading, John 3:16-18: For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. I am going to try to answer this fully in a blog entry, because I am not certain how to do justice to this question in a short response. On the other hand it needs a full response, since for me it is in many ways the question. It has been a question of mine for so many years, since I was a teenager. It was brought back for me this weekend because I returned to my hometown, Vancouver, B.C., for my 30th High School Reunion. One of my best friends in High School, and still a good friend, was a Sikh. My next door neighbors were Japanese and participated in rituals that were a combination of Shinto and Buddhist. My friend down the street was Hindu. There was every variety of religion and culture on display, including Islam, Judaism and all sorts of Christianities. What I noticed this weekend when informing long lost friends what I did was that not many claimed any sort of formal religious allegiance. The question that started me on my journey to theology was a simple one: all my friends who are Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist and anything, or nothing, else you might name are going to Hell? I found this hard to fathom. I still do. So I will take some time and post on this excellent question in the next day or so.

Thank you John for thinking about my question and responding. I too have many friends not Christian and some say they don't believe in God. In my mind I consider some of these friends ''even more Christ like'' than some Catholics I know. My hope is that I will be in heaven for eternity with all my friends and family not just a choosen few. I trust in the forgiveness, goodness and mercy of our God because I believe God is Love. Keep up your good work and Peace be with you, Donna

Dear John, The homily after Holy Trinity Sunday Gospel did not clarify for me the following..... if a person knows that the man called JESUS walked this earth but they do not believe Him to be God incarnate, will God not accept them into His kingdom even if their works on earth were filled with love and compassion, etc. What happens to ''non-believers'', to children yet to mature, to people of non-Catholic/Christian faith, to people where missionaries have yet to go??? Are ''believers'' guaranteed a place in heaven just because they believe that ''God sent His only Son.....'' Help me further my understanding. Thank you, Donna Carr

What: Boulder City Council meeting
When: 6 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Boulder Municipal Building, 1777 Broadway
More info: To read the complete memo and the rest of the agenda,
click here.
A fifth of the marijuana-growing operations in Boulder provide product to out-of-town dispensaries and don't generate sales tax revenue for the city.
Whether to limit cultivation centers to those that serve Boulder dispensaries or charge additional fees are among proposed changes to the city's medical marijuana rules that the City Council will consider Tuesday.
A proposed ordinance updating the current law would also raise fees for all marijuana licenses and renewals, limit advertising, impose new regulations on manufacturers of infused products and bar landlords from renting to unlicensed growers.
Potential limitations on grow operations linked to out-of-town dispensaries are not in the existing ordinance language, which is scheduled for a first reading Tuesday. Rather, the City Attorney's Office is seeking feedback from the council before drawing up those regulations.
In a memo to the City Council on the proposed changes, city officials described a winnowing process that has reduced an original applicant pool of 125 license requests to 27 dispensaries or medical marijuana centers, 34 cultivation facilities and six infused product manufacturers.
However, administering the city's regulations, including assessing the impact of state and federal court cases, has cost more than the city anticipated. Because the city refunded a portion of the license fee to businesses that were denied, it collected a net amount of $496,350 but spent an estimated $665,000 administering the program, the memo said.
The ordinance proposes increasing the license application fee to $3,790 from $3,115 and the renewal to $2,750 from $2,075.
The ordinance would also prohibit dispensaries within 1,000 feet of a school. The city's current ordinance establishes a 500-foot buffer, but the federal government has targeted dispensaries within a 1,000-foot radius for additional enforcement, forcing several dispensaries to close or merge.
Another provision would ban most marijuana advertising, with the exception of a sign on the same lot as the business and advertising in print publications.
City officials also want to require manufacturers of infused products to disclose their extraction methods in an operating plan. The memo said inspectors have found many manufacturers using equipment that isn't intended for food production, including washing machines.
The ordinance also seeks to give police more tools to pursue unlicensed growers, who are exempt from many state regulations if they are caregivers for five patients or fewer. The memo described situations in which inspectors believed medical marijuana was being grown in a building without a license, but the landlords would not assist the police in verifying the activity.
The ordinance proposes making it illegal for landlords to knowingly rent space to an unlicensed grow operation and requires that landlords allow police to enter a building for the limited purpose of determining if there is a marijuana business there.
The City Council will consider whether to impose minimum fines to discourage the practice.
The council also will take up the question of how to deal with grow operations that are linked to out-of-town dispensaries. Because many towns ban grow operations or stopped allowing new marijuana businesses before the state instituted the requirement that dispensaries grow 70 percent of their own product, Boulder has a number of grow operations that supply marijuana to dispensaries in other cities.
"When a cultivation facility located in Boulder does not have a center in Boulder, the city does not levy or collect a sales tax on the medical marijuana sold," the memo said. "The city only collects a use tax, which is a fraction of the sales tax revenues. The sales tax from the sales of medical marijuana grown in Boulder is realized by another city."
Some officials have also expressed concerns about the amount of industrial space taken up by grow operations. According the memo, a survey of industrial space in Boulder found that grows took up less space than previously believed.
Nonetheless, the City Attorney's Office asked the City Council to weigh in on whether to ban out-of-town grow operations or to impose a fee or tax on cultivation centers.
In a survey on the city's website about some of the new regulations, respondents were nearly evenly divided on making the city's code match the federal 1,000-feet restriction. Slightly more than 45 percent of respondents opposed advertising restrictions, while 40 percent supported them.
Dispensary owners who were contacted for this story did not return calls Friday afternoon.
Boulder attorney Jeff Gard, who has represented several medical marijuana businesses, said his biggest concern is what he perceives as a lack of due process for marijuana businesses accused of violations.
"It looked to me like a wish list from the City Attorney's Office to make it easier to shut it down," Gard said.
Gard said the city should hold hearings when businesses are accused of violations, as now happens with liquor license holders.
He also said information the city is seeking from manufacturers of infused products would force them to reveal proprietary methods.
"It's hard to disclose to the city without disclosing to a competitor," he said.

If you want to change the session id on each log in, make sure to use session_regenerate_id(true) during the log in process.
[Edited by moderator (googleguy at php dot net)]
session_destroy — Destroys all data registered to a session
session_destroy() destroys all of the data associated with the current session. It does not unset any of the global variables associated with the session, or unset the session cookie. To use the session variables again, session_start() has to be called.
Note: You do not have to call session_destroy() from usual code. Cleanup $_SESSION array rather than destroying session data.
In order to kill the session altogether, the session ID must also be unset. If a cookie is used to propagate the session ID (default behavior), then the session cookie must be deleted. setcookie() may be used for that.
When session.use_strict_mode is enabled. You do not have to remove obsolete session ID cookie because session module will not accept session ID cookie when there is no data associated to the session ID and set new session ID cookie. Enabling session.use_strict_mode is recommended for all sites.
Immediate session deletion may cause unwanted results. When there is concurrent requests, other connections may see sudden session data loss. e.g. Requests from JavaScript and/or requests from URL links.
Although current session module does not accept empty session ID cookie, but immediate session deletion may result in empty session ID cookie due to client(browser) side race condition. This will result that the client creates many session ID needlessly.
To avoid these, you must set deletion time-stamp to $_SESSION and reject access while later. Or make sure your application does not have concurrent requests. This applies to session_regenerate_id() also.
TRUE on success or
FALSE on failure.
Example #1 Destroying a session with $_SESSION
// Initialize the session.
// If you are using session_name("something"), don't forget it now!
// Unset all of the session variables.
$_SESSION = array();
// If it's desired to kill the session, also delete the session cookie.
// Note: This will destroy the session, and not just the session data!
if (ini_get("session.use_cookies")) {
$params = session_get_cookie_params();
setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000,
$params["path"], $params["domain"],
$params["secure"], $params["httponly"]
// Finally, destroy the session.
Only use session_unset() for older deprecated code that does not use $_SESSION.
If you want to change the session id on each log in, make sure to use session_regenerate_id(true) during the log in process.
[Edited by moderator (googleguy at php dot net)]
It took me a while to figure out how to destroy a particular session in php. Note I'm not sure if solution provided below is perfect but it seems work for me. Please feel free to post any easier way to destroy a particular session. Because it's quite useful for functionality of force an user offline.
1. If you're using db or memcached to manage session, you can always delete that session entry directly from db or memcached.
2. Using generic php session methods to delete a particular session(by session id).
$session_id_to_destroy = 'nill2if998vhplq9f3pj08vjb1';
// 1. commit session if it's started.
if (session_id()) {
// 2. store current session id
$current_session_id = session_id();
// 3. hijack then destroy session specified.
// 4. restore current session id. If don't restore it, your current session will refer to the session you just destroyed!
I'm using PHP 7.1 and received the following warning when implementing Example #1, above:
PHP message: PHP Warning: session_destroy(): Trying to destroy uninitialized session in...
What I discovered is that clearing $_SESSION and removing the cookie destroys the session, hence the warning. To avoid the warning while still keeping the value of using session_destroy(), do this after everything else:
if (session_status() == PHP_SESSION_ACTIVE) { session_destroy(); }
Note that when you are using a custom session handler, session_destroy will cause a fatal error if you have set the session destroy function used by session_set_save_handler to private.
Fatal error: Call to private method Session::sessDestroy()
where sessDestroy was the function I specified in the 5th parameter of session_set_save_handler.
Even though it isn't all that desirable, the simple solution is to set sessDestroy to public.
For session_destroy() only destroy current session mean that if you specify name or change the save path of session etc ,it will not destroy it mean for example
session_name('testing') ;
session_start() ;
$_SESSION['id'] = '35' ;
session_start() ;
session_destroy() ;
session_destroy only delete the new session which is created by session_start(). correct way is
session_name('testing') ;
session_start() ;
session_destroy() ;
this is also valid for if you change session.save path throught ini_set() , you have to mention in delete.php.
remember session_destroy() function destroy only current session not all .i hope this is worth to mention.
Destroying a session from a background job
I have a thief-protection system that compares country codes from login IPs via whois. This has to run in the background as it is way too processor-hungry to be run in the browser.
What I needed was a way to destroy the web session from the background job. For some reason, a background session_destroy APPEARS to work, but doesnt't actually destroy the web session.
There is a work around, I set the username to NULL and the web code picks up on that, bouncing the user (thief) to a "gotcha" page where his IP is logged.
Yes I know its nasty and dirty, but surprisingly it works.
$sid = the session_id() of the suspicious web session, passed in $argv to the background job
The trick is to "stuff" the $_GET array with the sid, then the session_start in the background job picks this value up (as if it were a genuine trans-sid type thing...?PHPSESSID=blah) and "connects to" the web session. All $_SESSION variable can be viewed (and CHANGED , which is how this kludge works) but for some reason (that no doubt someone will illuminate) they can't be unset...setting the particular variable to NULL works well though:
// prove we are getting the web session data
foreach($_SESSION as $k => $v) echo($k."=".$v);
// now kill the thief
//web session variable now NULL - honestly!

This year, when you hollow out that Halloween pumpkin, save the seeds to make a cool and colorful necklace. Here's how:
- Separate the seeds from the pulp and rinse them well in warm water.
- Spread the seeds out on paper towels to dry completely.
- When the seeds are dry, color them with felt-tip markers, leaving some uncolored if you wish.
- Make holes near the center of each seed, using a big needle or an awl and a block of wood.
- String the seeds with a large-eyed needle and fine elastic, using 125 to 130 seeds for a necklace and far fewer for a matching bracelet. (Measure around your neck or wrist before cutting the elastic, allowing a little extra to tie the finishing knot.)
That's it! Let us know how it works. We'd love to see your handiwork. Just upload yourHalloween pictures here!

The next court appearance for 17-year-old Andrew de Bartolome, who faces charges of attempted murder in connection with a pipe bomb left at Lafayette's Centaurus High School last summer, has been rescheduled for July 14, a spokeswoman for the Boulder County District Attorney's Office said.
Prosecutor Chris Estoll said last month that he and de Bartolome's attorneys were engaged in "fruitful discussions" in working together toward a plea deal, with a hearing on a possible plea deal originally scheduled for this morning.
De Bartolome was arrested May 13, 2013, after a teacher found an explosive device inside Centaurus, forcing an evacuation of the school and the closure of South Boulder Road for several hours.
The device was later detonated by a bomb squad away from the school, and de Bartolome was taken into custody, with police citing evidence that linked him to the device.
At de Bartolome's last appearance, attorney Michael Rafik said that since his client was released from juvenile detention and into the supervision of the Boulder Enhance Supervision Team, he'd been doing "wonderfully" at his new school and may even graduate early.

Are Your Beneficiary Designations Current?
Continue Reading Below
Building assets for retirement may seem like challenge enough, but once you've got that figured out, you still have to designate beneficiaries. Who will take control of the assets after you're gone?
When was the last time you checked your designations of beneficiary? Most employees and annuitants don't realize that they have several designations to keep current. If you don't have a designation on file, then the funds will be distributed according to the order of precedence, which may mean giving the money to someone that you no longer wish to give it to.
Named beneficiaries on insurance policies and retirement accounts generally supersede instructions in wills, which is why it is important to file and keep your beneficiary designations up to date. By periodically reviewing your beneficiary designations for personal insurance plans, annuities and other financial accounts, you can rest assured that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes.
It is important to review and update your beneficiaries when…
…you experience a major life event such as a birth, marriage, dissolution of marriage or domestic partnership, or death in the family.
…you update your will or estate plan. Consult with your legal advisor when you create a will to make sure that you understand whether the beneficiary designations you make on insurance plans or financial accounts are affected by your will.
…you roll over a 401(k) or Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
…you receive a beneficiary verification notice.
What is a Beneficiary?
A beneficiary is a person or legal entity that is entitled to receive the proceeds from estate, trust, retirement account, life insurance policy, or transfer on death accounts. A beneficiary can be one or more individuals or organizations, such as a trust or charity. You can designate two types of beneficiaries:
- Primary beneficiaries are first in line to receive the designated asset upon your death.
- Secondary (or contingent) beneficiaries receive the asset if there are no surviving primary beneficiaries upon your death.
The Basics
Most retirement plans, annuities, and life insurance policies let you decide what should become of your assets through the designation of beneficiaries in the event of your demise. The primary beneficiary or beneficiaries inherit first. If they are dead or they die with you, your assets go to any secondary beneficiaries you have named. You will need to name names and determine what percentage or amount of your assets go to each beneficiary. Beneficiaries can include those who leap to mind first—spouses, children, and other relatives. This list could also include friends, trusts, charities, and institutions.
Beneficiary designations generally kick in immediately after death and override a will. That means your assets will not have to go through probate, a legal proceeding that can be expensive. However, it also means that you need to ensure that your beneficiary designations reflect your most recent wishes because your will cannot override them.
Spouses can generally inherit assets from one another without generating estate taxes or, in the case of retirement accounts, being forced into taking mandatory taxable payouts. (Unless the inheriting spouse has turned 70½, in which case normal distribution rules apply.) Other heirs, though, may face some consequences. Loading too many assets on to some heirs may make their own estates liable to the federal estate tax.
Underage children, who may include anyone up to age 21 in some states, cannot directly inherit assets from an annuity, a retirement plan or a life insurance policy. Consult with an attorney, if necessary, to set up trusts for them, which can then be named in your beneficiary list.
Where to Start
Keep copies of your beneficiary designation forms. If you do not have copies of your current beneficiary designations, request copies from your account providers or complete a new beneficiary designation form. Since the designations you make can override your will, check with your financial advisor, custodian, or attorney before you submit your beneficiary designation to determine whether it will produce the results that you desire. If you have already submitted your beneficiary designation, you can still check its status. You should not assume that your IRA custodian will notify you if the designation is ambiguous or does not meet requirements. In most cases, the problem is noticed only after the account owner is deceased and the beneficiary is ready to claim the assets. By ensuring that your beneficiary designation is in good order, you help to ensure that your beneficiary will be able to access the assets at any time.

Interesting Links for 16-8-2011
Collected links from around the web
- How cool would this be? That China also expects international travel to be more and more common is indicative of movement in certain other areas as well. Would be great if it can happen, suspect logistics are going to be a headache though.
- Look at that change in fortunes-Nokia once taking a massive slice of smartphone sales profits, now making a loss on them and Apple clearly way out ahead.
- I love this sort of thing, using the opening of a new fashion store to understand more about the dynamics of an environment.
- Follow up from the link the other day about the redesigned map, one of the reasons why changing might be a good idea.
- Still no luck in Edinburgh for Andi. She needs to tour the country and come to West Yorks.
- Actual sales figures as well as market share. Nokia's Symbian, despite the announcement that it's being canned, still outselling iPhone's and only a small drop in total sales. Android through roof, Windows plummetting, Blackberry up in sales, down in %age, to be expected. Hell, Samsung's new Bada outselling MS. App devs and companies advertising apps need to look at actual figures before going large on advertining their iPhone apps. Silly hype believing marketers.
- Google, Motorola, and a Patent War - Patents, create a tax on innovation. it's a tax that Google has just paid heavily.More analysis of the Motorola purchase, even if it's defensive purchasing, it still stinks that so many stupid software patents exist for competing ideas, utterly ridiculous setup that discredits the whole IP system.
- To stop the wall, Adenauer proposed a teritory swap. I think that goes nearer the top of my list of counterfactuals that're worth thinking about.
- Phil Plait goes into more detail on Fuhrer's images, worth a read
- Some absolutely stunning renderings of the planets, including some in scale to each other. Dodgy JS gallery makes seeing them in full size harder though, if you right click and 'view image' you should get the actual full size stuff, really worth it
- Ye gods, the patent wars continue.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health
Teen Depression Study: Understanding Depression in Teenagers
Join a Research Study: Enrolling nationally from around the country
Mental health is an important part of overall health for children as well as adults. For many adults who have mental disorders, symptoms were present—but often not recognized or addressed—in childhood and youth. For a young person with symptoms of a mental disorder, the earlier treatment is started, the more effective it can be. Early treatment can help prevent more severe, lasting problems as a child grows up.
Warning Signs
It can be tough to tell if troubling behavior in a child is just part of growing up or a problem that should be discussed with a health professional. But if there are signs and symptoms that last weeks or months; and if these issues interfere with the child's daily life, not only at home but at school and with friends, you should contact a health professional.
Your child or teen might need help if he or she:
- Often feels anxious or worried
- Has very frequent tantrums or is intensely irritable much of the time
- Has frequent stomachaches or headaches with no physical explanation
- Is in constant motion, can't sit quietly for any length of time
- Has trouble sleeping, including frequent nightmares
- Loses interest in things he or she used to enjoy
- Avoids spending time with friends
- Has trouble doing well in school, or grades decline
- Fears gaining weight; exercises, diets obsessively
- Has low or no energy
- Has spells of intense, inexhaustible activity
- Harms herself/himself, such as cutting or burning her/his skin
- Engages in risky, destructive behavior
- Harms self or others
- Smokes, drinks, or uses drugs
- Has thoughts of suicide
- Thinks his or her mind is controlled or out of control, hears voices
Mental illnesses can be treated. If you are a child or teen, talk to your parents, school counselor, or health care provider. If you are a parent and need help starting a conversation with your child or teen about mental health, visit http://www.mentalhealth.gov/. If you are unsure where to go for help, ask your pediatrician or family doctor or visit NIMH's Help for Mental Illnesses webpage.
It may be helpful for children and teens to save several emergency numbers to their cell phones. The ability to get immediate help for themselves or for a friend can make a difference.
- The phone number for a trusted friend or relative
- The non-emergency number for the local police department
- The Crisis Text Line: 741741
- The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
If you or your child is thinking about harming yourself get help immediately. You can call 911 or the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1.800.273.TALK (8255).

Live Chats with Experts
Join NIMH as we host or participate in live online chats that cover a variety of mental health topics! An expert in scientific and health issues will be available to answer your questions. Dates, times, topics, and hashtags for our chats will be announced on the NIMH homepage and through Twitter and Facebook.
Clinical Trials
Children are not little adults, yet they are often given medicines and treatments that were only tested in adults. There is a lot of evidence that children's developing brains and bodies can respond to medicines and treatments differently than how adults respond. The way to get the best treatments for children is through research designed specifically for them.
Should your child participate in a clinical study?
Parents and caregivers may have many questions when they are considering enrolling a child in a clinical study, and that children and adolescents also want to know what they will go through. NIMH is committed to ensuring that families trying to decide whether to enroll their child in a clinical study get all the information they need to feel comfortable and make informed decisions. The safety of children remains the utmost priority for all NIMH and NIH research studies.

Vord Gubbins : Hospital Radio DJ Manager Seattle State Emergency Services : Dwarf : American : Texan : age 52I'll be throwing ideas on here, as I have a real bad habit of forgetting them very quickly! Forgive me if this thread fills up!
Potential character/ Contact for the Foundation.
Uses: PR and information for the Angel Foundation.
Expert in Negotiation and Counseling (Holding a Doctorate) : Hosts the prime time radio show 'Speak Up' which deals with social issues and personal problems. Previously a Human/Metahuman rights activist.
Oversees and moderates the hospital radio stations in the Seattle tri State area.
Hospital Radio/Street Foundation Radio: The ability to relay messages that appear mundane (Dedications to Little Jimmy in Ward 12/ The soup kitchen is moving to 47th steet etc) but in fact can be codes used by the trusted foundation members to aid in their missions. This is a virtually unbreakable/undetectable method of relaying sensitive information to field operatives.
Basically a 'dedication' could be handed to an unknowing DJ in one of the hospitals to broadcast and no-one would be any the wiser, hence where Gubbins comes into his own.
Seattle Street Foundation Radio could be established by Gubbins and run by one of his subordinates. Foundation Radio will be created like its parent organisation as a legitimate non-profit making body that will survive on advertisements from such organisations as UNICEF and Amnesty International to name a few. The station will be made by the people, for the people and will not be classed as an easy listening station.
'SSFR Radio, 24/7! Made by the people, for the people!'


text: Cute medieval chapel under the patronage of St. Catharine, whose life is depicted in one of several series of late medieval frescos at all fours walls. The architecture is very simple, but the frescos create a unique athmosphere. There is a lot to see on them. The life of St. Anthony is destroyed and also of Mary Magdalen and a fresco of the Last Judgement. Well preserved is the life of Dorothy, the life of St. Mary, the Passion, the martyrdom of the ten thousand martyrs of Mount Ararat, the twelve apostles and other saints. A visit of this chapel is certainly worthwhile. It is owned by the city and used by several churches; the old-catholics in the Oberaargau assemble here monthly for Eucharist.

Photographer Michael Wolf took these shots back in 2006, showing some Chinese toy factories responsible for the kind of cheap plastic crap that lines store shelves and Christmas stockings all over the world.
If you thought most of the work on that toy car or Disney figure you're giving away was done by robots, you appear to have "cheap toys" confused with "expensive luxury motor vehicles".
The full gallery of images can be seen, along with many other wonderful examples, on Wolf's site.

Hit: Deadmau5's light show
While the Canadian DJ's electronic music felt familiar, his show-stopping light display was anything but. Flashing lights morphed into a vibrant Rubik's Cube, and the DJ's light-up mouth lip-synced Elton John's "Tiny Dancer." It was a spectacle to be seen, even when the music couldn't keep up.
