Dr. Melvin Morse, a best-selling author on near-death experiences, faces charges of endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangerment and conspiracy. He was arrested in 2012 after the girl, then 11, told authorities she had been waterboarded on four occasions.
Morse, 60, held the girl face-up under a running kitchen faucet until she was unable to breathe and "called it waterboarding," the prosecutor, Melanie Withers, told jurors.
Morse's defense lawyer, Joe Hurley, responded that his client was joking when he used the term "waterboarding" and that the incidents had been attempts to wash the girl's hair, an activity she hated.
Furthermore, Hurley said the girl, the daughter of Morse's now-estranged wife, had a long history of lying to adults, including counselors.
Waterboarding, typically associated with the interrogation of terrorism suspects, involves forcibly holding a cloth over a person's face and flooding it with water to simulate drowning.
Morse shook his head as Withers told the jury at Sussex County Superior Court about what she described as his "bizarre, hostile" treatment of the girl.
Withers said the abuse included force-feeding her until she vomited, forbidding her from using the bathroom until she soiled herself, waking her up for school by throwing cold water on her face and dragging her down steps.
Police were summoned to the family home in Georgetown, Delaware, in July after the girl ran away to the home of a neighbor. A police statement said she had refused to get out of the family car and that Morse dragged her out by the ankles over a gravel driveway.
Withers said in court on Tuesday that Morse had actually ordered the child to remain in a hot car outside the family's home for more than five hours before he "dragged her by her foot across the driveway" and told her that "tomorrow, she would be punished like she had never been punished before."
The girl went to the home of a classmate the next morning, according to prosecutors. The classmate's mother, Elizabeth Riedel, called the police, which set off the investigation.
Riedel testified on Tuesday that the child arrived at her doorstep at 7:30 a.m. and appeared ""disheveled," "scared" and "had an odor to her." Another witness, the girl's school bus driver Bobbi Dean, made similar observations.
"You could tell she was distressed and upset," said Dean, who also testified Tuesday.
In video-recorded police questioning, Morse, who heads the Institute for the Scientific Study of Consciousness and has appeared on "Oprah" and "Good Morning America," acknowledged making the threat, but said he meant the child would be forced to clean her room and throw away her Harry Potter books.
"I have a really good relationship with her," said Morse. "I haven't spanked her in years."
Morse also denied dragging the child across the gravel. Asked by an investigating officer how she got bruises and scratching on her back, Morse said "she was kicking so much, at times, I dropped her."
The girl's mother, Pauline Morse, who witnessed the incidents but did not intervene, was also arrested. She pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in May and agreed to testify against Morse.
Prosecutors plan to call the child to the witness stand this week, possibly on Wednesday.

Barry, how did you get Xvesa to work with Puppy?
Barry, please let me give you a little background to my question first.
As I'm sure you're aware,
, and therefore Puppy,
often doesn't work correctly with Intel's i810-family of graphics chips
(these chips are quite usual in modern PCs and especially in laptops as they are cheaper and more power-efficient than add-on graphics chips).
Distros I've tested using XFree86 are able to support the i810-family with no difficulty at all. Just as an illustration, I'm writing these words using Kanotix (a Knoppix derivative) in
resolution on a 17" screen connected to a laptop
with just such a graphics chip
. Worked straight-out-of-the-box.
Contrast that to what Puppy offers on this same hardware:
At best 640x480x16
, excluding the terrible pseudocolour resolutions. At this resolution, most applications open windows that are larger than the size of the desktop, making the whole setup quite impractical.
OK, so what's my point? Well, I really like Puppy and I'd like to be able to run Puppy on my laptop. However, I've scoured Puppy's forum for help and posted messages about this problem with Xvesa. I've gotten some responses (including some from others in the same boat) but unfortunately no suggestions for solutions. I'm also aware that, due to size constraints, you haven't included other video drivers in Puppy.
Now, to what I really wanted to say, I found a reference to another kdrive server, the
, on the internet. This sounds like a driver that was made to work with i810 chips. I'm not suggesting you include this driver in Puppy, but instead,
make it available for testing with Puppy
This may just be the solution that many of us with i810-equipped PCs are looking for. I would be happy to test the driver on my i810 hardware.
However, if the driver needs to be compiled first, I should point out that I'm mainly hardware-oriented and have very little experience in compiling under Linux.
Some questions:
- Is Xi810 available from the same place you got Xvesa?
- Would it need to be compiled to work with Puppy in a "Puppy compilation environment"?
- If so, could one of the developers compile it and make it available for download?
- Would it need to be re-compiled for new versions of Puppy?
Looking forward to your answers and eventually testing the driver in Puppy.

Post subject: never more intel!
Hi paul
I did see you messages on the forum.
Years ago, I did buy not one but directly 4 PC's with the terrible chip for the reason they are "book-PC's" and kann be placed directly under the monitor and need no place more on the desk or in the room that I can't offer to my PC's. for a long time it was finish with Linux at home (with Corel Linux it was not possible to start the setup of the distribution because all was probably in high resolution mode!)... but it was the same problem with different other hardware i did have...
Today Mandrake move and Mandrake 10.2 works wunderfull on exactly the same PC; all functions excepted the old scanner and the wacom grafik tablett (but I did try only one time to setup the wacom driver because Linux problems are time killer no. one if something don't works properly) and we use Mandrake each day a lot of time. The only one problem is, that mandrake is a terrible big machine for quick daily usage. Start of Mandrake itself, start of OO, start of Firefox. Too heavy for 1 email and 5 row of text and one click on the weather pronostic.
I find that it is the actual problem of Linux at home and i find that the creator of BeatrIX also did recognise that (BeatrIX works perfectly well in high resolution with my i810's and starts very fast, recognise my router etc. what i personaly for the computer of my wife and daughter would need is a good mixture of puppy and beatrIX because beatrIX is a life CD oriented distribution)
i did buy last year a new laptop at last for me and verify don't to get an intel processor any more. never more intel in the life... for me it's fiinished! and our sohn did make the same... i am certain that intel did loose a lot of customers with the i810 and the desinteressment of her problem....

Post subject: Framebuffer in Puppy
I don't know if this pertains, but Barry is including framebuffer support in the next version of Puppy. I googled "framebuffer" last night to find out what the heck it is (it has to do with the memory used by the display driver,) and vesa and i810 were mentioned several times. So, although the connection between framebuffer and various chipsets such as i810/815 is still unclear to me, perhaps the next version of Puppy will somehow make things work right for you.
For what it's worth, my computer has the Intel 815t chipset. The highest resolution Puppy's wizard offers is 800 x 600 x 16, although the monitor is capable of higher resolution, and does work at higher resolutions in Windows and other distros of Linux. At 800 x 600 x 16, some of the application windows are too big for the display.

Okay guys,
I've compiled the Xi810 Kdrive X server.
It's attached, so download and uncompress:
# gunzip Xi810.gz
If you have Puppy running, at whatever resolution you can manage, copy Xi810 to /usr/X11R6/bin
then change X to point to Xi810:
# cd /usr/X11R6/bin
# rm X
# ln -s Xi810 X
Then exit to prompt, restart X by:
# xwin
...then let me know what happens!

Well, I
I followed the directions right. I had a little trouble copying Xi810 to /usr/X11R6/bin from the directory where I gunzipped it, using ROX. I finally opened two ROX windows and dragged it across. After changing X to point to Xi810, I opened rxvt and typed "xwin":
# xwin
This script will run X windows for you...
Starting X, specs in /etc/X11/XF86Config, startup apps /root/.xinitrc...
.....pause for about 10 seconds, then:
Exited from X. Type "xwin" to restart X.
I don't notice anything different at this point, but I haven't rebooted or tried anything else. I wanted to let you know this much before I do, just in case.
Edit #1: When I run Start->Setup->Xvesa video wizard, the only option offered is 640x480x16, which is less than the 800x600x16 I now enjoy. When I click on the "More" button, I get:
/usr/sbin/video-wizard: X: Permission denied
Select video mode from list, etc etc.
Awaiting further instructions before I reboot. I assume that if I power down the computer with the shutoff button, the changes will not be written to the pup001 file.

Yes, to avoid copying, you could download direct to /usr/X11R6/bin.
Okay, well you don't type "xwin" in an rxvt window.
You exit from X to the prompt, then type "xwin".
You may need to check the permissions on Xi810.
From the prompt:
# chmod 755 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xi810
If the new setup fails, you can restore things without X running:
# rm /usr/X11R6/bin/X
# ln -s Xvesa /usr/X11R6/bin/X

Is it possible to scan the pci hardware to tell if a computer has the i810 or similar ?
If so, it might be a good idea to prompt the user to pupget the Xi810 server.
Also would be nice if /usr/X11R6/bin/X was a script to check for installed X810 server and if there is a 810 chip in computer so start that one instead of Xvesa.
Maybe a nice idea for future puppies.

Yes, that's what I did when it didn't seem to work right the first time, but nothing changed.

I assume you mean by using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X server. Anyway, that's what I'm going to try. If you don't hear from me again...

Okay, here's what happened for me:
First I went through the procedure to point X to Xi810 again:
# cd /usr/X11R6/bin
# rm X
# ln -s Xi810 X
Then I exited X by doing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. Figuring I'd save time I went ahead and did
# chmod 755 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xi810
before I did:
# xwin.
But it still did the same thing as when I tried to run xwin from the rxvt window: said it was starting X, then that it was exiting X, then to start X again by typing xwin.
I restored the original configuration per your instructions, which worked perfectly, then tried it one more time only without the
# chmod 755 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xi810.
It still didn't work, and this time, when I enered "xwin," it cycled through the "Start-Exit-Restart" error message about four times rapidly before it stopped.
I don't think I made any mistakes following your instructions, so I must have been mistaken about my hardware. I prefer 800x600 anyway; the larger type is more legible. It's just that so many newer apps are apparently written for higher resolutions and their windows are too big for 800x600. The way Puppy works now suits me well enough. I like it better than Windows 2000 or any of the other Linux distributions I've tried. I'm sorry to waste your time.

Anything stored in /usr is actually in /root/.usr, so from the commandline you can go in there and delete anything to take it back to the original.
If running 800x600, which is what I run at mostly, JWM is good as you can easily resize big windows, such as the Gcombust window.
You might also like to try
bladehunters experimental iso with framebuffer/i810 X support
Jesse, yes, it would be good to autodetect and then suggest to the user to download another X server.

Post subject: Re: Framebuffer in Puppy
First off, many thanks, Barry, for making the Xi810 driver available for testing.
Now, for my experiences with the driver.
I had no problem in running the driver, just did the following:
# gunzip Xi810.gz
# cp Xi810 /usr/X11R6/bin/
# cd /usr/X11R6/bin/
# mv X X-vesa [I like to back these things up
# ln -s Xi810 X
then did a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill X, and executed
# xwin
Unfortunately, this just caused the screen to blink and returned the text "This script will run X windows...<snip>", then the # prompt.
Hmmm...OK, to get to the heart of the matter, I executed
# /usr/X11R6/bin/X
which resulted in:
Fatal Server error:
No matching cards found!
Oops! Looks like this driver is tailor-made to look for the original i810 chipset and it's not finding its signature (the Dell laptop has the i855 chipset which is derived from the i810).
New idea...test the driver on an old PC which has the i815 chipset (the successor to the i810). Here goes (keeping fingers crossed while typing):
# /usr/X11R6/bin/X
resulted in:
Fatal Server error:
No matching cards found!
@&!%#"%.... (creeping back to the drawing board)
Well, this seems to confirm the driver was tailor-made for the i810.
Perhaps someone that has a PC with this chipset can verify this.

Thanks Flash, I think I'll just wait for the next version of Puppy and see what happens.

Khachmaz is a major city in Northeastern Azerbaijan's Khachmaz region. It is located about 10km from the Caspian Sea, below Khudat, and to the east of Guba. According to allmetsat.com, it is located at 41-28N, 48-48E at an elevation of 27m.
The most northeastern region of Azerbaijan, Xaçmaz (or Khachmaz/Khachmas) is sandwiched between the Caucasus Mountains in Quba (Guba) and Quzar (Gusar), regions to the west, and the Caspian Sea to the east. The southern border greets Devechi and the region stretches north to Russia. Khachmas city is located toward the bottom third of the region. It is about 10km from the Caspian Sea and the border to Devechi. About half that distance to the Guba border to Khachmas's west. It is substantially greater distance to the northern border.
Khachmaz is one of the most ancient regions of Azerbaijan. The antiquity of the city is evidenced by a number of cultural and historical monuments and ancient settlements and barrows of Bronze Age, Mosque-Madrasah, etc. More than 60 monuments of history and culture have been registered in the district. However many scientists believe that their number should be much higher since the region was already densely inhabited in the earliest times. Settlements, mounds and barrows of the Bronze Age have been found in many parts of the region. For a long time Khachmaz was a part of the Caucasian Albania, the Shirvanshahlar state, and the Quba Khanate. Many visitors to this area left valuable clues about Khachmaz's history. Most of them tell about "Niyazabad" which was a huge port and settlement of Khachmaz during the middle ages. Among them are merchants, travellers, doctors, historians and diplomats, like Adam Oleary, Yan Streys, Entermany Bel, knyaz M. Baryatinsky, Eduarde, Loreny Chepmen, Ovliya Chelebi ,etc. In 1810 Quba Khanate was liquidated. And finally according to "Gulustan Treaty " in 1813 between Russia and Persia all khanates of "Northern Azerbaijan" were occupied by Russia except Talish, Nakhchivan, Irevan khanates of Azerbaijan (they were occupied by Russia later after signing " Turkmenchay Treaty " with Persia in 1828, which divided the territory of Azerbaijan and it's people into two parts). Khachmaz administrative region was formed on August 8, 1930. In 1963, the territory of Khachmaz region was liquidated and included into Guba and Gusar administrative regions. However, Khachmaz region was restored again in 1965. Reference: Xachmaz 75th Anniversary, 2005; Farqani Aliyev, local historian

The Khachmaz region is very rich with monuments of history, culture and architecture. There are more than sixty of them in Khachmaz. The most significant are Sarkartapa, ancient city-fortress Khudat, Albanian mosque of early middle age (III-IV centuries), a mosque-madrasa of Shah Abbas of XV-XVI centuries in Garaqurtlu, a village in Khachmaz, ancient settlements and the barrows of the Bronze Age, the famous "Iron gate" of Derbent fortress becoming a symbol of its inaccessibility. The fortifications "Baba-al-Abvat" were constructed in VIII-VII centuries B.C and protected from invasion the northern boundaries of Azerbaijan. Today Khachmaz borders with Russia here. In the village of Shykhlar the tourists can see the earliest monument of the mausoleum of the Middle ages- a mosque of Sheikh Yusif ( XV century ). At the top of the mountain Galadag the ruins of Gaurgala fortress have been kept. Reference: Azerbaijan Tourism Regions, 2005.
Historical Places of Note in Khachmaz
Albanian mosque (early middle age)
The history relates to (III-IV centuries). This church is evidence of the Albanian State of Azerbaijan people. There is a similar mosque in Gabala which had been a capital of Albanian State for centuries.
Historical Places of Note in Khachmaz Rayon
Sarkartapa (Bronze Age)
The Sarkartapa monument (also called "Sarkar gishlaghy "Sarkar winter camp") is a important historical monument of in Khachmaz. 150 monuments have been registered as the result of an archaeological expedition under the direction of Cabbar Khalilov.
The Sarkartapa findings have been spread all over the world and caused the special interest for the participants of the Conference of Archaeologists held in Baku in 1985.
Bostanly (Early middle ages)
Bostanly village is one of the more interesting places of the Khachmaz city. As a result of archaeological excavations many interesting findings were discovered that have been kept at Regional Ethnography Museum. There is a hill 20-25 meters high called "Maidens' Hill". The territory is 500 sq. km. And very close to this monument there is another interesting place which is called "Seven sisters" tombs with Arabian manuscripts on them. Many legends about seven sisters are told among the people.
One of the ancient cities-fortresses –Khudat (Khudat is Charisma) is very attractive for it's parameters. It had been a capital of Guba Khanate in early XVIII centure. In 1735 in concern with transference of the residence of Fatali-khan from Khudat to Guba, the city had lost its importance.
Mosque of Sheikh Yusif (XV)
This Mosque is one of the earliest monuments of mausoleum group that was widely used in construction of XVI-XVII centuries has been kept in the village of Shikhlar. Sheikh Yusif was an outstanding scientist-philosopher of Azerbaijan people. He was buried along with his wife and son and four of his followers in this mosque.
There Are 5 (five) Museums in Khachmaz City.
Was founded in 25 september of 1981 year. This museum is located in the city center. Outside of the Museum you can see some historical monuments too. But the most interesting things that will be amazing for tourists can be seen inside of the museum. The history of ancient Khachmaz is built on archeological, ethnographic, anthropological and written historical resources. Archeological excavations in the territory of Khachmaz revealed patterns of rich material and spiritual culture related to the Early Bronze Age. The museum is very rich with archeological monuments of different periods of history. There are more than 4000 historical exhibits are kept there. Among them special interest cause original scientific works of the well-known orientalist Abuabdullah Mahammad-bin Albukhari " Aljazaily sani" and the " Classification of Koran" of well-known mathematician, philosopher from Chilaqyr Hajaly Effendi. This book is considered to be the second basic book after the "Koran" in the Islamic World.
Veteran's Museum
The museum was founded in 1976. This museum will give you comprehensive information about the people of Khachmaz land, their pictures and belongings. As it is known 8739 people from Khachmaz took part in the Second World War and 2800 of them heroically have perished. Some of them are well-known outside of Azerbaijan. Also, the 230 people who became victims of the Armenian aggression (of the Nagorny Karabakh war) (Mountainous Karabakh) are commemorated.
Heydar Aliyev's Museum
Museum is located in the park after Heydar Aliyev- the National Leader of Azerbaijan people. There you can get valuable information about his life and activities. The Museum of Prominent Figures
This under open sky museum is one of the most interesting places of Khachmaz city for its numerous statues of the most famous in the world prominent figures of Azerbaijan people. It is also a nice park with accompanying water fountains and lights where the people congregate.

What would a week be like travelling with your family on a boat that had less to do with the destination, and more to do with the travelling itself? It's what I set out to discover; without the gadgets, without a plan, instead outlined roughly in pencil.
I admit, as a parent, it's a tall order to ask your children, aged 10 and 7 to leave their iPads and iPods behind. But that's exactly what I did, when I chartered a boat through San Juan Island Yacht Charters; to experience life for a week on the water, cruising through the San Juan Islands.
The San Juan Islands are pristine and tranquil, situated just offthe northwest tip of Washington State. They are part of the same island chain that extends north into Canada, known as the Gulf Islands. Although there is ferry service provided to some of the San Juan Islands, many islands and marine parks are only accessible via boat.
My hope for this trip was to bring us closer together as a family and to understand the immense beauty and history of these islands.
On Day 1 of arriving to San Juan Island Yacht Charters, we were debriefed for two hours. My husband stepped up to be the skipper, and I was designated to be the safety officer. Our role was to work hand-in-hand, every step of the way. Communication, we were told; is crucial.
We were then led down to board our chartered boat Stardust, which was a 49-foot yacht. It was simply stunning. My children couldn't wait to board it and check it out. They fell in love with their bunk beds, and we relished the privacy of our own room with a queen bed.
Although my husband and I had owned a boat before, we knew very little about handling a vessel of this size, so we opted for a day of instruction.
We were greeted the next morning by Hal, who would be our instructor for the day. Hal was able to break things down, so that we fully understood our boat inside and out. We were provided instruction on the engine room; where we learned about fuel tanks, oil, the various key controllers and the generator on-board. We learned to appreciate the vast differences of manoeuvring a larger boat.
The day went by in a flash, and before we knew it, we were on our own.
The next morning, we headed to Sucia Island to do some exploring. My husband found navigating the boat a breeze, but when we attempted to anchor in the Bay of Sucia Island, we encountered some difficulties.
We misunderstood each other, and disagreed on everything from where to anchor, what our depth was, to how far we were from the other boats. We became even more frustrated when the children engaged in their own heated debate about their own responsibilities.
I won't lie, it was chaos.
After much back and forth, we finally anchored and took the small on-board power boat in to shore.
We were able to relax a bit, after spotting an owl along the way, amid some beautiful trees. The trail around the island was long, but worth it when we arrived on the other side, to discover a beach with some incredible sandstone creations. The children spent more than an hour exploring them, and watching the seals playing in the distance.
The next morning we ventured to Roche Harbour. On our three-hour journey there, my son wanted to learn about navigation from my husband. So, for the next few hours, he learned about navigating the boat, direction and how to read a map.
As we neared Roche Harbour, my daughter spotted some small porpoises, swimming along side of the boat. She grinned ear to ear as she stared down at the water. The appreciation for where she was had finally sunk in.
When we arrived, my husband and I worked together. This time, our communication had improved greatly, and we were able to anchor within minutes.
It was a beautiful day, and much to our delight, we were treated to an afternoon wedding on the island. We walked through a craft market, talked with locals and visited the historic Hotel de Haro. The hotel is breathtaking, and has maintained much of its ambience from when it first opened its doors in 1886.
That night, we played board games with the kids. I couldn't remember the last time we all sat down to play one. We laughed so much it hurt.
We returned to Roche Harbour the next day to swim in the local pool. It's $7 per person to swim for those not staying on the Island or docking at a slip. We opted for lunch at the pool (the burgers are barbecued poolside, so the delicious smell of them draws you in).
Later in the day, we visited the English camp on the island, once used by the British army. The historical "Pig War," had happened here between the Americans and the British.
The site was beautifully maintained, surrounded by pear trees and monuments representing the time that had been spent there by the soldiers. We watched a short film on the historical landmark in the visitor's centre, and on our way back, we encountered some deer, which were drawn to the pear trees.
In the evening, we had some ice cream from the local store, and attended the ceremony taking down the flags. As God Save the Queen played, along with O Canada and the Star Spangled Banner, horns honked in the distance from the vessels representing the various countries, docked in the Marina.
My husband and I were now in a rhythm of our own as we headed to Stuart Island; ensuring we were all working together as a team.
We discovered Stuart Island to be the perfect hidden gem, tucked away, providing a great respite from the hustle and bustle of life. We put a crab trap down, before heading in to explore the island.
Due to its sheltered location, it's a great place to kayak and camp. The island is serene and has so much to offer. After a short hike, we came across the local school at the top, and a small kiosk filled with island gifts, which operates on the honour system.
After our time exploring the island, we ventured back out on the water to see if we had caught any crabs.
When my husband pulled up the trap with three beautiful crabs inside, the children squealed in delight. One ended up being a female, so we gently put her back in, keeping the two, very large male crabs. It would seem dinner would be a decadent one that night.
As we sat out on Stardust on our last night, enveloped by the serenity and star-filled sky that surrounded us, I found myself not wanting it to end.
I watched as the children laughed with one another, staring out over the ocean, as it gently lapped against the boat.
The charter had been a success in so many ways.
But the most important was that we were truly connecting and communicating in a way that only time can give you.
That time for us was on the water.

DNS Behavior Changes
Changes to .com/.net/.edu Name Servers in Preparation for DNSSEC
On March 1, 2010, Verisign made two changes that affect the behavior of the authoritative name servers for the .com, .net and .edu zones ([a-m].gtld-servers.net). The changes are a prerequisite for deploying DNSSEC in these three zones. The two changes are
New Referral Behavior and Glue No Longer Promoted to Authoritative Status.
New Referral Behavior
In the past, when queried for an existing A or AAAA record serving as glue (an address record at or below NS records at a delegation point), the authoritative name servers for .com and .net would respond with the glue record in the answer section. However, the answer would not marked authoritative, (i.e., the AA bit was not set.) While this behavior conformed to the DNS standards, recent authoritative servers did not respond this way. Instead, when queried for a name at or below a delegation point, recent authoritative servers responded with a referral to the delegated zone. This behavior was also supported by the DNS standards.
The [a-m].gtld-servers.net servers have now changed to the latter referral behavior: queries for glue records result in referrals rather than non-authoritative answers.
Note that this change affects the resolution of certain domains under .com and .net that depend upon one another. For example, the following configuration of mutually interdependent "example.com" and "example.net" zones worked fine in the past:
example.com. NS ns1.example.net.
example.com. NS ns2.example.net.
example.net. NS ns1.example.com.
example.net. NS ns2.example.com.
These two domains were configured in a "cycle:" all of example.com's servers are in the example.net domain, and all of example.net's servers are in the example.com domain. Such a cyclic configuration used to resolve because [a-m].gtld-servers.net were authoritative for both the .com and .net zones, and because these servers returned queries for glue as non-authoritative answers as described above.
To illustrate exactly why this configuration worked, consider the steps an iterative resolver (the portion of a recursive name server that sends queries) would follow to resolve any data at "www.example.com":
- The iterative resolver queries a .com authoritative name server for "www.example.com" and receives a referral to "example.com" listing only name servers in "example.net."
- Even though the referral includes A records for "ns1.example.net" and "ns2.example.net" in the additional section of the DNS message, modern iterative resolvers ignore these records as a defense against cache poisoning.
- Having discarded the A records for "ns1.example.net" and "ns2.example.net," the iterative resolver now has the names but no addresses for any "example.com" name servers. It must temporarily suspend the query for "www.example.com" to look up the address of one of the "example.com" name servers. Let's assume it chooses to resolve "ns1.example.net."
- The iterative resolver eventually queries a .net authoritative name server for the A records for "ns1.example.net." With the current referral behavior of [a-m].gtld-servers.net, the .net server returns a non-authoritative answer for the A record for "ns1.example.net." The iterative resolver uses this address to contact this "example.com" name server and resolve "www.example.com".
As of March 1, 2010, however, the .net server does not return the A record for "ns1.example.net"; instead, it returns a referral to "example.net". But recall that all of the "example.net" name servers are in the "example.com" domain. The only reason the iterative resolver is attempting to resolve "ns1.example.net" now is to resolve the initial query, "www.example.com", also obviously in the "example.com" domain. Thus with each domain depending on the other, resolution can no longer succeed.
Verisign has created two lists of .com and .net domains that may be affected by this change:
List 1: Domains participating in cycles
Domains on this list are mutually interdependent as described above. For example, given the scenario described above, both "example.com" and "example.net" would be on list #1.
List 2: Domains that depend exclusively on domains in cycles
Domains on this list are not actively part of a cycle as those in list #1. Instead, all of the domains in list #2 use exclusively name servers from domains that are part of a cycle. In other words, a domain in list #2 has all its name servers from one or more domains in list #1. Continuing the example above, if the domain "foo.com" had name servers "ns1.example.com" and "ns2.example.com", then "foo.com" would appear in list #2.
If a domain appears in one of the two lists, the March 1 change requires that at least one of its name servers be changed to either break the cycle (for domains in list #1) or remove the domain's dependency on a cycle (for domains in list #2).
Glue No Longer Promoted to Authoritative Status
In the .com/.net registry system, a domain can be placed on an administrative hold status. A domain on hold is not published: the NS records delegating the domain are removed from the .com or .net zone. For example, registrars sometimes place a domain on hold if it is about to expire but the registrant has not responded to requests to renew it, or if it is being used for malicious activity.
Before the change, when a domain was placed on hold, its NS records were removed from the zone but not any of the A and AAAA records of name servers in that domain. For example, consider if the domain "example.com" existed in the registry along with the name server "ns.example.com". (An important note: whether or not the "example.com" zone itself actually uses "ns.example.com" as one of its authoritative name servers is irrelevant to the behavior described here. The important point is that "ns.example.com" is in the "example.com" domain, i.e., below it in the DNS name space.)
It used to be that if the "example.com" domain was placed on hold, the NS records delegating it were removed from the .com zone. The A and AAAA records for "ns.example.com" remained in the zone. In fact, since these records were no longer below a delegation point, they were promoted to become authoritative data.
As of March 1, 2010, when a domain goes on hold, the NS records delegating the domain are removed from the zone, and the A and AAAA records for name servers below the domain are no longer be promoted to authoritative status. These A and AAAA records are not actually be removed: although they are not returned when queried for directly, they appear in the additional section of referrals that reference them.
In the example above, if "example.com" went on hold, its NS records would be removed from the zone. But if the "example.net" domain uses "ns.example.com" as a name server, a referral response to "example.net" will include the A and AAAA records for "ns.example.com" in the additional section.
If you have questions about these changes, please contact Verisign's registry customer service group.Back to top

- 6 slices bacon fried and crumbled
- 1 large onion and 1cup celery diced and sautéed
- 1 cup carrots and 1potatoes diced and boiled until tender
- 4 Tblsp. butter or bacon drippings
- 1 - 1 lb. can of cream style corn
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 2½ cups milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- Simmer 30 to 40 minutes. Serves 6
Terri's Notes
-can use bits of ham instead of bacon
-I use the already cooked bacon that I stash when it's on sale!
-If I'm in a hurry, I cheat and put the carrots, onions, potatoes and celery all in the pot, with a cup of water and cook them all together until tender. It does sacrifice a little flavor, but it's quick.

Hi Maria... this is me virtually SLAPPING you right now.
"Where did you get a pregnancy belly button ring? I hope I need one."
What kind of attitude is that? Your baby doesn't like it, I don't like it. Stop it!
What you should have said, was, "Where did you get a pregnancy belly button ring? I'm going to be needing one soon!"
I held the most positive attitude right from the start... you owe your baby all the crazy faith you have.
Anyway, to answer your question, I got it at a piercing kiosk in the mall. I feel I got it a little too late, because the bar was starting to irritate my skin as my belly stretched. Your best bet would be to get one as soon as possible, 16 weeks at the latest.
The metal* bar (from my normal belly button ring) was starting to irritate my skin
Oh Maria.
I wish you would have put a warning up like "do not watch at work" because I totally just watched it at work and I am now balling. Tears of joy <3
Oh Maria!!! I AM SO EXCITED AND HAPPY FOR YOU!!
I will be praying my little heart out for a safe, AMAZING, HEALTHY pregnancy!!!!!!!
Can you move to FL so we can be friends? Haha :)
I think you are WONDERFUL!!!!!
Congratulations to you + Steve!
I love that you have this all documented. SO AMAZING <3
I have been stalking your blog since I've read this post waiting to see what you've heard and EVERYTHING :) It is WONDERFUL ... and you deserve every bit of your happiness. I am so happy that you documented this and shared it with all of us who have been with you through this journey!

Oh Maria,
You are such a blessing. What a miracle and I am so happy for you.

I feel so blessed to have been able to witness your video and that special moment. I can't stop crying. Thanks for sending the message of hope and sharing. So happy for you and Steve.

As Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) students return to class this week, they'll be returning to a University ranked in the Top 5% nationally of Master's Universities in a survey conducted by Washington Monthly Magazine for its "2013 College Rankings."
TAMIU is the only A&M campus in the ranking's Top 100.
TAMIU's ranking (23 out of 684 institutions), is based on the University's contribution in three broad categories: Social Mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), Research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs) and Service (encouraging students to give something back to their country).
TAMIU president Dr. Ray Keck noted the ranking is also up 18 points over last year's 41 ranking.
"This ranking, like last year's, shows that every day our students, faculty, staff and partners bring to life the mission of this University: to help the people of our city and region to realize their infinite possibilities. Being recognized in this way for doing just that is something we can all be proud of," Dr. Keck said.
Keck said the survey is also noteworthy because of how it measures universities' contributions.
"For example, I think it's impressive to note that our students' contributions back to their community in service projects is measured to indicate what universities do to further their mission in the communities they call home," Keck said.
The Washington, D.C.-based Washington Monthly covers politics, government, culture and the media with a special focus on the Beltway.
Of the 2013 College Rankings, the Editors write on their web site:
"We designed the Washington Monthly college rankings to embody the American higher education compact at the institutional level. Instead of lauding colleges for closing their doors to all but an elite few, we give high marks to institutions that enroll low-income students, help them graduate, and don't charge them an arm and a leg to attend."
Since 1969 the magazine has launched the careers of top journalists including Nicholas Lemann, Dean of the Columbia School of Journalism; Jonathan Alter of Newsweek, Katherine Boo and Nicholas Thompson of the New Yorker; James Fallows and James Bennet of the Atlantic and Michael Kinsley, founder of Slate, among others.

Wife of
Michael Callahan
Born 1806 in Co. Cork
Died Jan. 2 1880
Rest in peace
Location: Frankfort Cemetery, Frankfort, Franklin County, Kentucky
Photo taken: March 2009
Ellen Callahan is, unfortunately, largely anonymous to history. While no Ellen, married to Michael, can be found living in Franklin County around 1880, there is such a family recorded in Owenton, Owen County, as far back as 1850. While it's not impossible that Ellen would have been buried in the (at that time) new State Cemetery at Frankfort - 30 miles distant from her home - it does seem unlikely. The fact that the Ellen in Owenton lists her age such that a birth year of 1810 seems more reasonable than 1806 further lessens the likelihood that this is indeed her resting place.

Bridget's Simply Spectacular Sugar Cookies
Although we've probably seen a million and a half different sugar cookies over the last several months, none — and we mean none — compare to those of Bridget over at Bake 350. She fills and floods with all the artistry we could ever hope to achieve. Check out a few favorites from Harry Potter to the Holidays!
This is Bridget. She's as adorable as her cookies are and you can really learn the world by following her techniques. She works very clean and keeps everything simple (which is a plus when decorating a cookie takes several different steps).
Recently she was the guest over at a workshop put on by Ree Drummond where she taught all sorts of tips and pro secrets. Check out an account of the events, including a few insider tricks over at The Pioneer Woman and make sure you check out Bridget's cookie archives over at Bake 350 where there's literally a cookie for every season, event or holiday — beer and hotdog cookies, yes please!
Thanks Bridget!

One day a friend of mine asked me if I could design a logo for their new company, which I did. She also knew my watercolours and my style so she asked me if I could translate the new logo into a watercolour painting. In other words, this is my first commissioned work. The original is sold in other words, she was very enthusiastic about the result, but I'd like to share this work with the rest of you and make it available as cards, prints, etc. I hope you enjoy it.

Helloween's "Halloween"
Ah, It's Helloween
Welcome to Forgotten Videos. Well, for some forgotten, for others just filed away, and for others still, a totally brand-new discovery. Whichever category you fall into, each week we'll feature a video that's possibly been collecting dust when what it really deserves is a fresh look. Or, we'll be giving a fresh look at a video that deserves to be collecting dust. We're not here to judge, we just want to take you on a little trip down memory lane. Yep, you'll remember when hair was really that big, when drums were that up front in the mix, when video was young(er) and so were you.
Don't let the dark and eerie forest, pseudo fog or pumpkin-headed man scare you away, "Halloween" was the creation of one of the most influential (and aptly titled) heavy metal bands to come out of Europe in the '80s. Thrashing onto the scene from Hamburg, Germany, Helloween — originally called Second Hell (which funny enough still flirted with the spooky Halloween theme) — was formed by bassist Markus Grosskpf, guitarist/vocalist Kai Hansen, drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg, and guitarist Michael Weikath. When Hansen decided his vocals weren't quite what the world, and trick-or-treaters, was looking for, the band called on teenage vocalist Michael Kiske, whose high-pitched delivery was likened to that of Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson and Judas Priest's Rob Halford.
The new lineup proved to be sinfully good and Helloween released the album that features this ghoulish track, Keeper Of The Seven Keys — Pt. 1. The album may have only peaked in the triple digits on the Billboard 200, but "Halloween" makes up for it by offering perfect a game plan for anyone looking to celebrate on Oct. 31: "Meet the others at the store/Knock on other people's door/Trick-or-treat, they have no choice/Little ghosts are makin' lots of noise." And the track isn't without plenty of excitement for the ghostly celebration as well: "Ah, it's Halloween/Ah, it's Halloween tonight."
The band tried a few tricks of their own in the years that followed with Hansen's eventual departure, the addition of guitarist Roland Grapow, the eventual ousting of both Kiske and Schwichtenberg, and the drafting of new singer Andi Deris and drummer Uli Kusch. In 2008 the new Helloween released Keeper Of The Seven Keys — The Legacy on…you guessed it, Oct. 31. We hope on this Oct. 31 you find a little room for Helloween on your heavy metal Halloween playlist.
How will you celebrate Halloween? Got a freakish Forgotten Video recommendation? Leave us a comment.

Baltimore Man Indicted on Gun and Drug Conspiracy Charges Resulting in Two Murders
Baltimore, Maryland - A federal grand jury has indicted Kyle Stevens, a/k/a "Cappo," age 22, of Remington, Maryland, on two counts of use of a firearm in furtherance of a drug conspiracy related to two murders and one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine and oxycodone. The indictment was returned on January 17, 2013, and unsealed on January 29, 2013, upon Stevens' arrest.
The indictment was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Stephen E. Vogt of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Special Agent in Charge Steven L. Gerido of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - Baltimore Field Division; Chief James W. Johnson of the Baltimore County Police Department; Colonel Marcus L. Brown, Superintendent of the Maryland State Police; Commissioner Anthony W. Batts of the Baltimore Police Department; Anne Arundel County Police Chief Larry W. Tolliver; Secretary Gary D. Maynard of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services; Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger; Baltimore City State's Attorney Gregg L. Bernstein; and Anne Arundel County State's Attorney Frank R. Weathersbee.
The three-count indictment alleges that beginning in 2005 Stevens was part of a conspiracy to distribute heroin, powder and crack cocaine, and oxycodone. Further, the indictment alleges that in furtherance of the drug conspiracy, on January 24, 2006, Stevens used a .45 caliber semiautomatic handgun to murder James Wright, a/k/a Ronnie Mo; and on September 21, 2007, used a .380 caliber semiautomatic handgun to murder Keith Ray, a/k/a Keithy.
Stevens faces a maximum sentence of life in prison for each of two counts of use of a firearm in furtherance of a drug conspiracy, and for the drug conspiracy charge. Stevens had his initial appearance on January 29, 2013 in U.S. District Court in Baltimore. Stevens is detained. A detention hearing is scheduled for Monday, February 4, 2013, at 11:30 a.m., before U.S. Magistrate Judge Beth P. Gesner, Courtroom 7B, U.S. District Court in Baltimore.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceedings.
Mr. Rosenstein praised the FBI, ATF, Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services; Baltimore County Police Department; Anne Arundel County Police Department; Baltimore City Police Department; the Maryland State Police; Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office; Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office; and Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's Office for their assistance in this investigation and prosecution.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorneys Robert R. Harding and Christopher J. Romano, who are prosecuting this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.

Chateau De Nages Costieres de Nimes Reserve 2005 Rose Rhone Wine
Great rasberry nose that follows through to the palate. There are also notes of cranberry and orange peel as well as lots of excellent acidity backing the whole truckload. It sold for $7.99 at my local BAWS. I would buy it again at that price or more. It made an excellent match to my wife's Maryland crab cakes. I can still taste them as I type this note. The fresh green beans, tomatoes and crusty bread with olive oil made for an excellent way to celebrate a great summer evening.

New Catholic Dictionary – Saint Alphonsus Liguori
(Teutonic: adalfuns, willing) Confessor, Doctor of the Church. Bishop of Sant' Agata dei Goti, born Marianella, near Naples, Italy, 1696; died Nocera de' Pagani, Italy, 1787. He took his degree of Doctor of Laws at sixteen, and practised successfully for eight years. Humiliated by failure to win an important case, he entered a missionary society of secular priests, the "Neapolitan Propaganda," was ordained 21 December 1726, and devoted his time to missionary labors among the poor. In 1732, with the help of bishop Thomas Falcoia of Castellamare, he founded the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer at Scala. He occupied the See of Sant' Agata dei Goti, 1762-1775, when he was permitted to retire. Enfeebled by illness and the constant struggle for recognition of his congregation by the civil authorities, Alphonsus continued to work diligently and practise mortification. As a moral theologian he advocated a middle course between rigorism and laxity. The fruits of his labors are treatises on theology, dogma, and asceticism, poetry, musical compositions, and letters. Canonized, 1839. Emblems: image of Virgin, rosary, monstrance. Feast, Roman Calendar, 2 August.

Only eight weeks remain in the 2013 MLS regular season, and both conferences are stuck in some of the tightest playoff races the league has ever seen. Following the Dynamo's loss to Montreal over the weekend, let's check in on results around the Eastern Conference and how they affect Houston's position.
New England Revolution 5, Philadelphia Union 1
Entering the weekend, the Dynamo sat in the fifth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. New England's win at home over the Union now has them level with the Dynamo at 36 points and in fifth place by virtue of tiebreakers. The Dynamo, though hold one game in hand over New England.
Philadelphia remains on 38 points, good for 4th place in the conference standings. The Dynamo have one game remaining against both New England and Philadelphia.
Chicago Fire 1, Sporting Kansas City 0
Chicago pulled out a win against their Midwest rivals to keep their name in the playoff race, while Sporting stay close to the pack after starting the weekend tied for the conference lead.
The Fire are two points behind the Dynamo in seventh place with the win, and have played the same number of games. The two teams match up this weekend at Toyota Park.
Kansas City stays just three points ahead of the Dynamo, while Houston holds two games in hand. Houston and Sporting still have one match remaining against each other.
Chivas USA 3, New York Red Bulls 2
Upset of the weekend. Co-Eastern Conference leaders New York drop a stunning result at Western Conference bottom dwellers Chivas USA. As with Kansas City, it keeps the Red Bulls within three points with two games in hand for the Dynamo.
The Dynamo face New York on September 8 at BBVA Compass Stadium (TICKETS) and then once more at home in their penultimate regular season match.
Real Salt Lake 4, Columbus Crew 0
Columbus has been hanging just on the edge of playoff contention for a while now, with back-to-back wins keeping them in the conversation. The Crew now are seven points adrift of the final playoff spot and have played 25 games, only giving them an advantage over New York, Kansas City and Philadelphia.
A mere five points separate top-seeded Montreal and the Dynamo with ten games left for both teams. All but one of the final ten matches for the Dynamo are against Eastern Conference opponents, with six of those against teams currently above them in the standings.
Despite the loss in Montreal, the Dynamo are tied with Kansas City and New York for the second best points per game (PPG) average in the conference. The Dynamo will look to capitalize down the stretch with games in hand and matches against teams in front of them as they aim for their seventh playoff appearance in eight seasons.

Medications That Reduce Libido
A drop in libido can be caused by medications. Medications are designed to have an impact on your body, and some medications can disrupt the delicate balancing act that is the body itself. As a result, medicine prescribed by your doctor can reduce your libido, perhaps even substantially.
At the top of the list of medications and drugs that can cause a reduction in libido are birth control pills, thyroid medications as well as mood related drugs such as anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications. Another type of medication that can cause a loss of libido or reduction of libido is anti-hypertensive medication. This can impact men in particular. In general, any drug or even herb that impacts one's hormone levels or brain chemistry can have a considerable impact on libido. If you experience a sudden decrease in libido, it may be due to the medicine you are taking or be the result of a new medication. Discuss any loss of libido with your doctor as soon as possible.
How You Can Address and Prevent a Loss of Libido
Some of the best ways to safeguard against a loss of libido just so happen to be some of the ways that one can maintain overall good health as well. Being overweight and eating fast food and processed foods may very well impact both one's overall health and one's libido. Maintaining a healthy weight and eating a diet that is rich and packed with vitamins and minerals will help one maintain a healthy libido throughout life.
Omega-3 fatty acids as found in cold-water fish, like wild Alaskan salmon, as well as in nuts like walnuts can help to potentially keep one's libido functioning properly. Why? Omega-3 fatty acids are good for both the mind and the heart, which is key for good circulation. Maintaining a healthy circulatory system is important for a strong libido.
Other easy steps to consider are consuming foods that are anti-inflammatory in nature. A good example, and one that is time tested, is the spice turmeric. Turmeric has been shown to fight inflammation as well as cancer.
A reduction in libido isn't something that you just have to live with and learn to adapt to; instead by being proactive and working with your doctor, you can find ways around this serious problem. Above all else, don't ignore a significant reduction in libido, as it may indicate a serious issue.
Please note that there are many different reasons that people may experience a drop in libido, so you can?t just assume what might be causing the issue. Please consult with your healthcare professional if you experience any drops in your libido.
