I said a while ago that I would do a talent analysis for Graylo and moonkin in general so I thought I would do it know. Since I will be kind of long I am putting the Toon update first.
Toon update:
Graylo – I didn't play a ton over the weekend but Graylo was my main focus. I would describe my weekend play as clean up. I did a lot of farming, dailies, and completed some old quests.
On a strange note, I completed my Elixirs mastery a few weeks ago, but I have yet to get a double proc on items that I make for my self. I have made 11 Flasks of Blinding Light with no procs. On Friday night I made atleast 10 or so Adept's Elixirs and Elixirs of Drainic Wisdom each but no procs. I have made tons of stuff for other people with tons of procs, but none for myself.
I also ran a normal Shattered Halls this weekend and I finally got the [Ivory Idol of the Moongoddess]. I have to say it is about time. Now I need to figure out which idol is best for me to use in raids.
Graypal – He didn't get much action this weekend but I did do a few quests in Searing Gorge. Thanks to a little help from a guildie I was able to do the Overseer group quest. I remember trying that quest with Graylo when I was leveling and having a lot of trouble with it even with a lvl 60+ in the group. So her help is greatly appreciated.
Talent Analysis:
This is purely a raid spec analysis. I don't know much about PvP and some of what I say doesn't necessarily hold true for PvP, Soloing or even 5-man instances.
Here is my current spec: Link
Here is what I think is the optimal spec for SSC raiding: Link
The differences will be explained below and the reason I am not in the optimal spec has a little to do with solo and PvP viability and a little to do with me being cheap and not wanting to respect a lot.
To optimize a moonkin you have to have points put in both the Balance and Resto trees. The feral tree doesn't offer anything of value for raiding. I think moonkin talents fall into three categories. The first is the no-brainers. If you don't have these talents as a raiding moonkin then you're an idiot. The second is the "Unuseful Required" talents, and the third are the debatable/optional talents.
No Brainers – Balance talents: Starlight Wrath, Focused Starlight, Improved Moonfire, Insect Swarm, Nature's Reach, Vengeance, Lunar Guidance, Nature's Grace, Moonglow, Moonfury, Balance of Power, Dreamstate, Moonkin Form, Wrath of Cenarius. Resto Talents: Improved Mark of the Wild, Naturalist, Intensity
"Unuseful Required" talents – Natures Grasp, Control of Nature, & Brambles.
As you know to get to the Tier 4 talents on the balance tree you have to invest 15 points in the first three tiers. Unfortunately, in the first three tiers there are only 5 talents of any real use to a Raiding moonkin and they only use 12 points. So to get to the tier 4 talents you have to invest three points in these talents.
- Natures Grasp – It only works outdoors and if you are getting hit. Since most raids are indoors and you shouldn't be getting hit this talent is useless for raids. It is great for PvP though.
- Control of Nature – Roots only work outdoors and Cyclone isn't a viable CC. This talent is slightly better than Natures Grasp because Cyclone can be used in a raid, but I haven't yet. I have this talent because it is useful in PvP and while soloing. It can also help me get of a heal if I pull agro in an instance.
- Brambles – From a raid perspective this is the best talent of the three. It improves your thorns and helps the tank generate agro. However its contribution is very small and the points would be better spent elsewhere, if it where possible.
Debatable/Optional talents: These are talents that are useful but not necessarily required for a raiding Moonkin.
- Celestial Focus - This is a great talent but is only situational useful. The stun won't work on bosses and is unreliable. The push back resistance is great but as a caster you shouldn't be getting hit. Most raiders give this talent up, but it is useful if you tank the Shaman in the High King fight.
- Improved Fairy Fire – A good talent that helps the raid but not the moonkin at all. The 3% chance to hit for melee is huge if they are not hit capped and you have a lot of melee in raid. It will also improve the tanks threat generation if they are not hit capped. However, as you get to higher levels of raiding more and more people are hit capped. This talent is often given up for Subtlety in the Resto tree.
- Force of Nature – Situational useful but doesn't help a lot since most bosses have an AOE or Cleave attack that will kill the trents quickly. A lot of people keep it because it is only one point and very cool. It is also very useful in PvP and when soloing. However , it can be easily sacrificed for a more useful talent.
- Subtlety (Resto) – The need for this talent is really more dependent on your level of progression and your usual group make up. With a good tank and a paladin in the raid you generally won't need it. I've made it through Kara, Gruul's, Mag, and some of SSC without it being an issue. However, I am finding that threat becomes more of an issue with some of the higher level fights like Tidewalker and VR. Since by this point a lot of Melee are hit capped it is easy to sacrifice Improved Fairy Fire for Subtlety.

Researchers undertake radical new cancer survivorship study
Researchers from the Macmillan Survivorship Research Group (MSRG), at the University of Southampton, have developed the first study of its kind looking at the experiences and needs of people after primary treatment of colorectal cancer.
It is estimated that around two million people are living with, or beyond, cancer in the UK, with this figure rising by 3% each year. On average over 6,000 patients are diagnosed with cancer each year in Hampshire alone.
Whilst increasing cancer survival rates are to be celebrated, the experiences and needs of those who have completed their treatment have been relatively neglected until now.
The University of Southampton, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, has a long standing history of cancer research. It has developed the ColoREctal Wellbeing (CREW) study to look at a number of factors influencing recovery which takes into account the disease itself, the level of treatment patients receive, the support available to them and the range of coping skills they have.
Factors influencing recovery studied within the research include the time it takes a patient to return to feeling 'well', the length of time symptoms of treatment last and the range of things people can do to help return to 'normal' more quickly.
Results from this rigorous theory-informed study will, for the first time, inform health care providers and professionals across the country about what helps or hinders rapid and effective recovery and who has the confidence and ability to manage their own problems. It will also help identify areas for the development of interventions to aid the recovery process of those who may be at risk of experiencing problems.
More than 1,000 patients have been recruited to the study, one of whom is Susan Restorick-Banks from Totton in Hampshire.
Susan was diagnosed with a tumour in her colon in early 2011. She has endured Radiotherapy, surgery to remove the tumour and six months of chemotherapy. She says: "It's been really important for me to participate in this study. By speaking out and giving my views, I feel I'm contributing to the wellbeing of future cancer survivors and it's really the only way researchers have of finding out how people like me cope.
"Whilst I've had a very supportive network around me, and have continued to enjoy life throughout my treatment, I know that other people going through cancer treatment can experience things very differently."
Colorectal cancer has been chosen as the focus for the study as it is one of the most treatable cancers in the UK. It affects both men and women equally and can involve all three forms of basic cancer treatment: surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
The participants, 187 of whom are from Southampton, will be followed over a two-year period establishing the natural history of the recovery of their health and wellbeing and assessing how quickly they recover after colorectal cancer.
Senior Research Fellow at the University of Southampton and chief investigator for the research Dr Deborah Fenlon says: "Up until now the general focus for cancer research has been on cure and prevention for the disease. Macmillan is uniquely concerned with helping to improve the lives of people living with cancer, and for us it is absolutely imperative we understand the experiences of the two million cancer survivors in order to positively inform the professionals who interact and support these survivors, helping them get the best out of life once treatment is over."
Professor Jessica Corner, Dean of Health Sciences at the University of Southampton and Chief Clinician of Macmillan, says, "As a leading health sciences research-based Faculty, and the only research unit funded by Macmillan, we are extremely proud to be undertaking this radical new research. Our ultimate joint-aim is to help improve the lives of people with cancer by informing health care providers and professionals in practice which help care for the two million plus cancer survivors across the UK. Recruiting more than 1000 patients is a real milestone for the study and we are incredibly grateful to Susan and all those participating and involved in the research."
This study forms part of a trio of research projects being undertaken by Health Sciences researchers from the MSRG. Initial research was conducted into how people manage cancer and cancer-related problems followed by creating and testing an online intervention to support self-management.
Ciarán Devane, Chief Executive of Macmillan Cancer Support, says: "We are delighted to congratulate our Macmillan Survivorship Research Group in their recruitment of their 1,000th research participant to the CREW research study. Macmillan is committed to understanding and using evidence, to help the 2 million people living with cancer in the UK. Work with our academic colleagues is helping us to increase our knowledge and will allow us to develop our services in the future.
"The CREW study is important in helping us learn more about bowel cancer patients and their different needs after treatment. The information gained through research will help us support and improve the lives of the increasing numbers of people who are living with and beyond cancer."

It's no secret that BlackBerry fans love their keyboards, and for BlackBerry 10 we wanted to make sure that the typing experience is unmatched. Who better to show us around the keyboard than Vivek Bhardwaj, our Head of Software Portfolio and demo man extraordinaire!
He explained that we not only wanted to design the keyboard to be BlackBerry visually, but also to show the thought we've put into innovations in touch screen typing. At BlackBerry Jam Americas he told me that his favorite feature was the ability to switch between languages. Now, he's got a new favorite – the spacebar. We'll let him explain:
[ YouTube link for mobile viewing ]
Basically, if you miss hitting the spacebar as you type, the keyboard is designed to recognize that and automatically add spaces between your words when you hit it next. This allows you to keep your train of thought and keep typing without having to go back and add spaces. Typing without interruption? Count me in.
And for those of you who love a physical keyboard, we'll have both full touch and QWERTY models for BlackBerry 10. Let us know what you think of the BlackBerry 10 keyboard below – are you going to go QWERTY or full touch?

10 Small Space Hanging Gardens
As we often say here on Apartment Therapy, the secret to maximizing a small space is to look up. Vertical spaces often go unused — especially when it comes to gardening. And right now I'm loving simple, hanging gardens using new and vintage vessels.
Though we've covered a lot of 'vertical gardens', I'm getting super into the trend of hanging planters — both modern and vintage (the macrame planter in the first picture is my own). You can fill them with a mixture of plants, play with scale and stagger the height of a cluster of them to fill up an otherwise unused space. I particularly love a cluster right by the kitchen window. It just feels like home.
• 1. Roost Macrame Hanging Candle Holder that I repurposed to plant a donkey tail in — now hanging by my kitchen window.
• 2. Jeana Sohn's Restful Corner complete with a hanging string of hearts.
• 3. Reapproproated Vintage Containers house succulents and are hung in a cluster.
• 4. Go Mod with the circle pot from
• 5. Go Big with a hard to kill houseplant cascading in front of a window (from Alex and Cory's Small Cool Entry back in '09)
• 6. Upside down Airplants from Michael McDowell – modern and hard to kill.
• 7. Hanging Poppies spotted over on Design Sponge are dramatic and won't be as long lived as succulents or traditional houseplants, but man are those beautiful. And a nice alternative to having cut flowers.
• 8. Mix and Matched Vintage containers in front of a window from a favorite southern california blog, No Accounting For Taste
• 9. Hanging Herb Garden made possible by planters from boskke makes way more space in the kitchen for an herb garden.
• 10. Hanging Geo Planter from Kelly Lamb is modern and simple for a single succulent or pack it with dozens. Love the sculptural shape.

From Empty to Full
Let me tell you this: My family and I have very differing philosophies when it comes to bike riding. I view a bike ride as a fairly leisurely occupation, an opportunity to notice the birds in the trees and the scent of saltwater in the air. My parents and brother, on the other hand, consider a bike ride an opportunity to zoom from Point A to Point B as quickly as possible. On vacation—vacation!—they ride for about an hour and a half each morning. And on the last day of our trip to Hilton Head earlier this month, I decided to join them. Within the first five minutes, I gave up hope of trying to catch my brother and reconciled myself to being last in line. Two hours and one empty water bottle later, I could barely stand up straight. My parents and brother headed for the pool, and I headed for the couch.
After I recovered (read: slept the sleep of the exhausted), my husband Jonathan and I made a list in preparation for our trip to the local food store. We'd volunteered to prepare supper for the family, so we needed provisions … and my parents, as it turned out, needed a break. On the first day we'd arrived, I'd offered to spend an afternoon with Willie, thereby giving my parents some time to themselves. And that day, my mom finally took me up on the offer, saying, "Honey, do you think you two could take Willie with you to the grocery store?"
Though I'd been the one to offer, I hesitated. Willie was having a great day, but I know firsthand how fast his mood can change. Worst-case supermarket scenarios spun through my mind; I imagined an epic meltdown in the refrigerated section. With willpower, I coached myself back to reality: You'll be with Jonathan. You won't be alone. And Willie has been doing so well. He's not at all on edge today, and he's been fine every day this week. Plus, it's important to help out and give your parents some much-needed respite. It isn't always easy for them to ask …
"Okay, sounds good!" I said. With trepidation, I picked up my purse and let Willie know that he was invited to come with us. He sprang into action, pulling on his shoes and picking up the empty gallon-jug water bottles that needed to be refilled at the store. (How could he move so fast, after a bike ride and a swim?! I wondered.) Soon we were out the door. "Go out! Have fun!" I called to our parents. Even so, I half-expected them to be doing laundry when we came home. But when we returned—after a gloriously uneventful grocery store experience—Mom and Dad were nowhere to be found. "They made a break for it!" I joked with Jonathan. I was simultaneously surprised and proud of them.
Together, the three of us unloaded the groceries; Willie pitched in without being asked. Once the food was put away, Willie raced over to Dad's laptop to watch videos. He needed time to unwind, so I let him be as I took charge of finishing the laundry. My husband made sure that dinner preparations were set in motion; soon, the tantalizing smells of meatloaf, roasted asparagus, and spaghetti squash filled the kitchen. I handed Willie a pile of clothes to fold, so he could help out while staying on the computer. And when the family played Go Fish that night, Willie and I tied for the win.
As I drifted to sleep, I kept picturing Willie filling the water bottles. Though the refill machine seemed confusing to me, he'd known just what to do. I handed Willie empty bottles, and he gave them back to me full. He'd taken charge; all I'd done was hand him bills and coins. It was akin to watching my brother on a bike, seeing him fly far ahead of me and not minding a bit.
It took all three of us to carry the water jugs to the car, but as I walked into the bright afternoon, mine seemed to weigh nothing at all.

Premiums of $1.25/bu. are making some waves in soybean country. Last November, Asoyia, a farmer- and employee-owned company in Iowa City, IA, announced that premiums for non-genetically modified (GM), ultralow-linolenic Asoyia soybeans will start at $1.25/bu. with potentially an additional $.40/bu. subject to soybean market volatility. Farmers also can receive a $.20/bu. signing bonus.
Growers who produce Asoyia ultralow-linolenic soybeans, Monsanto's Vistive low-linolenic varieties or Pioneer's low-linolenic soybeans (for Treus soy oil) are fetching premiums from soybean oil processors seeking to capitalize on the rapidly rising demand for heart-healthy oil.
Conventional soybean varieties typically contain 8% linolenic acid. Asoyia's soybeans contain 1% linolenic acid, and Vistive and Pioneer low-linolenic varieties contain less than 3% linolenic acid.
These low-linolenic acid levels make soybean oil more stable so that it needs little to no hydrogenation. Trans fatty acids are formed when vegetable oils undergo hydrogenation. Research suggests that trans fats raise LDL cholesterol levels, causing the arteries to become more rigid and clogged, and increasing the risk of heart disease. This prompted the FDA to adopt trans fat labeling rules. Moreover, several states and cities are enacting legislation that will restrict or ban the use of trans fats.
Extra revenue
Todd Niehaus farms more than 1,000 acres near Martelle, IA, and planted 375 acres to Asoyia (Group III) soybeans for each of the last four years. The eastern Iowa farmer chose to grow the ultralow-linolenic soybeans for the extra revenue they would bring. Between 2004 and today, premiums for Asoyia soybeans have jumped from $.55 to $1.25/bu. "We've been ratcheting up premiums while ensuring we have a sustainable product," says Brett Maxwell, vice president of operations, Asoyia.
To date, Asoyia's ultralow-linolenic soybeans have been non-GM varieties. However, the company is testing ultralow-linolenic Roundup Ready versions and is continuing to improve the disease resistance package and overall yield. These varieties could possibly be released in 2009.
The Iowa company also has been working on the next generation of Asoyia products — Asoyia MO — which feature both low-linolenic and mid-oleic traits. Mid-oleic oil has even better shelf life than low-linolenic oil, which is especially desirable for baked goods, Maxwell says. Asoyia has started seed production and will release some limited quantities of Asoyia MO in 2008.
How does the payback from non-GM low-linolenic soybeans compare to that from Roundup Ready soybeans?
Rich Gassman, crop manager, Amana Farms, Amana, IA, says that last year, with the premiums ($1.00/bu.), the non-GM Asoyia soybeans paid off even when crop protection and extra scouting costs were factored in.
"We do cost accounting down to the field level," Gassman says, adding that the farm does more scouting on the Asoyia soybeans.
Amana Farms, which produces about 8,000 acres of crops, tested the non-GM Asoyia soybeans on 40 acres in 2006 and then grew them (Group III varieties) on 1,200 acres last year, where they yielded an average 52 bu./acre. They yielded about the same as the farm's regular Roundup Ready soybeans, Gassman says. The farm plans to expand the Asoyia acreage to more than 2,000 acres in 2008.
Amana Farms has an advantage in that it has dedicated storage bins for the identity preservation of Asoyia soybeans. The eastern Iowa farming concern has long produced value-added crops, including white and waxy corn hybrids, seed soybeans and food grade soybeans, for which it has had dedicated storage.
To ensure that the soybeans are properly identity preserved, the farm's employees receive written instructions on how planters, bins and combines are to be cleaned.
The farm's dedicated storage also enables it to monitor the best basis prices and then deliver product. For example, it delivered Asoyia soybeans on several dates last year.
Gassman says that producers who are thinking about growing ultralow- or low-linolenic soybeans or, for that matter, any varieties with improved oil quality traits, should make sure they fit into their operations. If growers do not have dedicated storage, for example, they need to be prepared to deliver at harvest. Growers also need to decide what level of scouting they want to do.
Gassman notes that the paperwork associated with identity preservation has not been too difficult because the farm has GPS on its tractors.
Niehaus advises growers to be patient when it comes to the ultralow-linolenic varieties, adding that the genetics continue to improve. In addition to planting ultralow-linolenic varieties for the oil market, he produces seed beans for Asoyia.
Growers need to compare the yields they would get with Asoyia soybeans and those with regular Roundup Ready soybeans and then determine the best payback, Niehaus adds.
Since Niehaus plants 100% of his soybean acreage to Asoyia varieties, identity preservation has not been difficult. It costs more money to spray the Asoyia soybeans, which are not Roundup Ready, but the premium makes up for the cost, he says.
Asoyia's Web site (www.asoyia.com) features an online calculator that enables growers to plug in their own numbers to see if the program will work for them.
Test the waters
Don Geary's advice to producers about low-linolenic soybeans is to start slow and grow from there. Geary farms 1,100 acres with his father Wilbur near Tiffin, OH. Last year, they planted 55 acres to Pioneer's 93M20 (RR) RM 30, an early Group III low-linolenic variety with the Roundup Ready trait. The low-linolenic soybeans yielded 48 bu./acre on average, just slightly lower than the regular Roundup Ready varieties the Gearys planted. "We would like to see more maturity groups for low-linolenic soybeans," Geary notes.
Since the low-linolenic variety was Roundup Ready, the Gearys did not need to change their soybean management system. However, they did plant the low-linolenic soybeans first because they did not have enough bins to store them separately. They delivered the beans right at harvest, receiving a $.55/bu. premium. Farmers with the ability to store them were eligible to receive $.60/bu. premiums.
Storage advantage
Mike Moore, who farms near Clayton, IN, had two bins in which he could store the Beck 326RRL Vistive variety that he grew on 400 acres last year. Moore farms 2,200 acres, about 1,000 of which are planted to soybeans.
With the Roundup Ready trait in the low-linolenic soybeans, Moore did not need to change his herbicide program. However, he did need to pay closer attention to cleaning his planter last spring. The cleaning added about an hour to normal planter filling time, Moore says.
He also cleaned his bins before storing the low-linolenic soybeans. "It was really no different from how we normally clean," he says.
Moore received $.60/bu. premiums for storing the low-linolenic soybeans, which yielded an average 54 bu./acre. He did not have a choice of delivery dates, however. The delivery site only accepted the low-linolenic soybeans three days a month, he says.
The Indiana farmer plans to grow low-linolenic soybeans again this year. But he will deliver them at harvest. "If there's demand for a specialty crop, there is no reason the U.S. should import it," he says. "We should produce here it. It helps keep demand for U.S.-grown product here and the prices up."
"The soybean industry needs to migrate to low-linolenic oil because food processors need oil containing zero trans fats and they like soybean oil's properties," says Asoyia's Maxwell. He concludes that the soybean industry could lose this critical market if it does not make the shift.

We Could See a Little of Everyone in the Season Finale
The Cowboys season finale will take place this Sunday at 3:15 p.m. central time, in Washington. Yes, the time has been changed, hopefully that will allow more regions to tune in to the final game of what has been an exciting record-breaking year for the Dallas Cowboys.
A lot of people believe the Cowboys can take it easy for this game, and some want the Cowboys to go full force. Personally, I'd rest the starters. Especially with the injuries we've encountered in the last two games, it's just not worth the risk. I think Wade and Jerry agree with that theory.
Rumors are that Romo will take limited snaps and is expected to hand the ball over to Brad Johnson early in the game. Terrell Owens is of course out for this game, Sam Hurd will start in his place. The biggest news of the week though – Terry Glenn's return! Glenn practiced with full pads today. He may come out a little rusty, but to know he is eligible to play makes me feel a little better about Terrell Owens absence this week.
Others are speculating Marion Barber to sit out for most of the game and let the 'starter' Julius Jones play almost a full game. Wade Phillips and crew have used both Jones and Barber all season, but differently than Bill Parcells did last year. They have split drives instead of downs for most games. Its been interesting, but despite Jones' starting status, Barber has been more of a star. This was proven when Barber was recently awarded his first Pro Bowl nod.
I'm actually looking forward to seeing some of our backups play. It's good to see what you have and I believe we have excellent depth all around this team. Of course, we wouldn't be where we are – Home Field Advantage, First-Round Bye, No. 1 Seed in the NFC, etc. – without the starters who have been shining all year long. Take a break guys, we need you to rest up for the playoffs. We believe this is the year, we break that 5-time super bowl champs tie, and go all the way for #6!

June 9, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Igor Kopylov capped off his outstanding fencing career after being voted to the 2009 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America At-Large First Team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Tuesday. The lone fencer among 45 athletes on the College Division national team, Kopylov became the first male fencer in Institute history to earn a spot on the First Team. In addition, he received the program's first award since 2000 and fourth overall.
MIT's institutional tally now stands at 154 following its ninth honor of the year, maintaining its position as the leader among Division III programs. The men's at-large program includes the sports of fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, tennis, and water polo.
Kopylov graduated as a three-time New England Champ in sabre and recorded a finish of 20th place at the NCAA Championship during his rookie campaign. He was a four-time Northeast Fencing Conference Sabre All-Star and a two-time recipient of the Georges L. Cointe Award which is given by the IFA for excelling in high-level competition with excellence in sportsmanship. Kopylov, a former Computer Science and Engineering major, received the Object Oriented Project Prize in Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs and the David A. Chanen Writing Award for best paper in Computer System Engineering. He worked in the Humans and Automation Lab on a data visualization system and also developed an interface for electronic medical records used by doctors at AthenaHealth.

Several sources report that Murphy was a real sore loser after the Best Supporting Actor was awarded – in an admittedly huge upset – to Arkin. The funnyman was decidedly not smiling as he left his seat, and didn't stick around to see co-star Jennifer Hudson win Best Supporting Actress, or watch the ladies of "Dreamgirls" sing their lungs out.
Meanwhile, Brad Pitt's absence from the show, even though he starred in one film that was nominated for Best Picture ("Babel"), and co-produced the eventual Best Picture winner ("The Departed"), was chalked up, as Page Six reports, to his shooting in New Orleans ... and that he wasn't nominated for anything.
Antonella Barba – the "American Idol" contestant who stirred up plenty of controversy last week with some racy photos – might be something of a sexpot, but she's not a porn star, at least according to her best friend.
In an interview with the Star-Ledger of Newark, Amanda Coluccio, who auditioned with the 20-year-old Barba in Hollywood, says that although some of the salacious snaps – like of Barba in various states of undress – are real, the ones of her engaged in a certain sex act are not. And the proof? Acrylic nail tips. "She's never had tips in her life. She's the least slutty person I know," affirms Coluccio.
One local resident, 17-year-old Mark Dillon, shares an interesting New Jersey-ite custom with the AP: "At least half the people in this town have pictures of their friends on the toilet. I've personally seen at least 20," referring to a pic of Barba mid-micturition.

When she was caught in the middle of the Rosie-Trump fracas, Barbara Walters says she didn't say all those nasty things about Ro to the Donald, as he so famously claimed. But, according to a profile of Babwa in New York magazine, Trump might not have been totally full of hot air. "She thinks she's saying something in private, and she doesn't expect it to be repeated. That's Barbara," says a producer. ...
Oscar winner Helen Mirren, after all her sweet-talking of Queen Elizabeth II at awards shows, may finally get an audience with the monarch herself, reports People. "We are looking at a number of options," says a Buckingham Palace spokesperson, adding frostily, "We are sure that the Queen will be pleased with Dame Helen's success." ... That Van Halen reunion we were all so stoked about? It's been "shut down," says a top official at Live Nation, the concert promoter, to the Los Angeles Times, because of what David Lee Roth calls "fragile politics."

I have always had a deep feeling for Pontius Pilate and consider him one of the most tragic figures in the NT. His reply to Jesus is one of my favorite verses, and one of my favorite quotes period - What is Truth? My path to Orthodoxy began when I begged God to answer that question for me. I really hope that he is a Saint. If he is condemned for what he did, how much more should I be condemned for what I have done.
From the Scriptures we can surmise that Pilate must have had a fairly good Roman educ- ation, for the questions directed at Christ are poignant and thought- provoking: 'Are you the King of the Jews?' (John 18:33); 'Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you done?' (John 18:35); and, 'What is truth?' (John 18:38).Pilate seems sincere as he tries to understand the man before him but he becomes perplexed, in particular, with the latter question that Christ does not answer, 'What is truth?' He is also quick to inform the Jews, 'I find no crime in him' (John 18:38).Ironically, it is this last phrase that reveals Pilate as both a man of virtue and of cowardice. For Pilate is wise and good enough to understand that the man in front of him is innocent, but has not the strength of character to stand up for the truth when pressed.Although some may feel sympathetic toward Pilate, and have even considered his defence of Christ's innocence to be a mark of saintliness, there can be no excuse for Pilate having Christ scourged, when he knew Christ to be an innocent man.This view is cemented when Pilate addresses the crowd, after the scourging: 'See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him' (John 19:4). And yet again shortly after, 'Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him' (John 19:6).The shallowness of Pilate's commitment to justice is revealed when he is tested by the Jews regarding his loyalty to Caesar. For this reason alone, his concern for personal security and ambition, Pilate knowingly accepts false witness and sentences to death a man not only innocent of crime, but one completely free of sin.From the Gospel accounts Pilate cements for himself a place in history for villainy, for a man who kills in error is distinct from one who kills with the knowledge that what he does is wrong. Pilate's tunnel-vision in permitting a sentence of guilt for Christ arises from a pre- existing condition of pride. He will risk only so much for the truth and no further; he cannot see the full canvas being painted out in front of him, for he chooses not too.What other reason did the Procurator have for sentencing Christ to be executed while insisting that a plate be placed on the cross, written in three languages, that Christ was King of the Jews, had he not had more than a mere suspicion that somewhere in what he ordered written was that truth he so desired to find.When Pilate addressed the crowd with 'Ecce homo'(Behold the man') he knew that he was condemning to death an innocent man. He knew that he had had an encounter with the Truth, but he also knew that for him, the Truth was not worth dying for, but rather it was better off dead.
By the time Tiberius Caesar (42 BC - 37 AD) reached his mid-sixties, he had wearied of daily Imperial duties. He entered semi-retirement on the Island of Capri in 26 AD. There, out of the public eye, he embraced a life of unmentionable depravity and cruelty. Still, even for a degraded and absentee emperor there were the problems of government. As his personal conduit for management of Rome from Capri, Tiberius left a regent in the capitol. This was Aelius Sejanus, who had been captain of the Praetorian Guard. Sejanus had shown himself to be politically capable and apparently loyal to Tiberius, but he was a cunning and ruthless man.During the 5 years that Sejanus administered the Empire, he artfully engineered the banishment, imprisonment, suicide or other elimination of many of his own opponents and Tiberius' potential successors. As chronicled extensively by the Roman senator and historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus (12), Tacitus Sejanus apparently expected that he might one day plot and murder his way to the throne. He very nearly did. Unfortunately for Sejanus, Tiberius had a trusted sister-in-law, Antonia. She was not a political player, which gave her opinions a certain weight. While nearly all communication from Rome filtered through Sejanus, Antonia managed to place a secret letter before Tiberius in which she described Sejanus' web of plots in convincing detail.Tiberius responded by plotting his own surprise. He sent an emissary with a lengthy letter to be read before the Roman Senate with Sejanus present. In the turnabout ending of the missive, Tiberius loosed a scathing denunciation of Sejanus and demanded his arrest. The shocked mastermind was dragged out and executed the same day: October 18, 31 AD.Why does this date matter? Because Roman and Biblical history intersect. During his glory days, Sejanus first influenced and then himself made appointments of many Imperial officials, including one Pontius Pilate. Pilate was made Prefect of Judea about the time that Tiberius gave up Rome for Capri. Sejanus was a notorious anti-Semite (13), and Pilate followed his benefactor's anti-Jewish policies as he governed Judea. A few examples will illustrate Pilate's treatment of the Jews.The Romans were well aware that the Jews shunned all graven images. Tacitus, though himself disdainful of Jewry (14), accurately comments in The Histories, Book V: "...the Jews have purely mental conceptions of Deity, as one in essence. They call those profane who make representations of God in human shape out of perishable materials. They believe that Being to be supreme and eternal, neither capable of representation, nor of decay. They therefore do not allow any images to stand in their cities, much less in their temples."Of course, this rejection of graven images comes from the Ten Commandments, recorded in the Book of Exodus, Chapter 20: 4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God..."Knowing this, Pilate proceeded to install images of Tiberius in the Jewish temple at Jerusalem, a massive offense. From Josephus, Wars, Book II, Chapter 9: "Now Pilate, who was sent as procurator into Judea by Tiberius, sent by night those images of Caesar that are called ensigns into Jerusalem. This excited a very great tumult among the Jews when it was day; for those that were near them were astonished at the sight of them, as indications that their laws were trodden under foot; for those laws do not permit any sort of image to be brought into the city. Nay, besides the indignation which the citizens had themselves at this procedure, a vast number of people came running out of the country. These came zealously to Pilate to Cesarea, and besought him to carry those ensigns out of Jerusalem, and to preserve them their ancient laws inviolable; but upon Pilate's denial of their request, they fell down prostrate upon the ground, and continued immovable in that posture for five days and as many nights. On the next day Pilate sat upon his tribunal, in the open market-place, and called to him the multitude, as desirous to give them an answer; and then gave a signal to the soldiers, that they should all by agreement at once encompass the Jews with their weapons; so the band of soldiers stood round about the Jews in three ranks. The Jews were under the utmost consternation at that unexpected sight. Pilate also said to them that they should be cut in pieces, unless they would admit of Caesar's images, and gave intimation to the soldiers to draw their naked swords. Hereupon the Jews, as it were at one signal, fell down in vast numbers together, and exposed their necks bare, and cried out that they were sooner ready to be slain, than that their law should be transgressed."Other examples of Pilate's intentional mistreatment of the Jews have come down to us in ancient histories. Philo reports that Pilate also proposed to set up a colossal idol in the holy of holies itself, the most sacred part of the temple at Jerusalem (15). Josephus reports that Pilate seized religious offerings made by worshiping Jews to pay for Roman work projects (16). The Book of Luke tells us that Pilate killed Jewish worshipers, mingling his victims' blood with that of their religious sacrifices, a hideous desecration (17). And at the crucifixion, Pilate posted a notice on Christ's cross which declared him "The King of the Jews," thereby mocking the Jewish leadership even as he gave them their way (18).But all this raises a large question about the execution of Jesus. Pilate's pattern was to avoid doing "anything which could be acceptable to his subjects" the Jews (19). So, why would he now give in to the clamor against Jesus? Why not release Jesus, if only to irritate the priests who called for his death? The Biblical record does reflect Pilate's intention to release Jesus, and that he almost did. But something had changed. Something made Pilate respond to the Jewish leaders, grudgingly, rather than treat them with his customary vicious disdain.What had changed was Sejanus. He was dead. Even worse for Pilate, after the surprise execution in the Fall of 31 AD, Tiberius began to root out Sejanus's appointees and allies. Many were tried, tortured at length and executed in ways designed to maximize terror. In De Vita Caesarum: Tiberius, Suetonius describes treatment of Sejanus' allies with tortures unmentionable here. One of the milder descriptions from LXII: "At Capri they still point out the scene of his executions, from which he used to order that those who had been condemned after long and exquisite tortures be cast headlong into the sea before his eyes, while a band of marines waited below for the bodies and broke their bones with boathooks and oars, to prevent any breath of life from remaining in them."Tacitus records in The Annals, Book V: "Executions were now a stimulus to [Tiberius'] fury, and he ordered the death of all who were lying in prison under accusation of complicity with Sejanus. There lay, singly or in heaps, the unnumbered dead, of every age and sex, the illustrious with the obscure. Kinsfolk and friends were not allowed to be near them, to weep over them, or even to gaze on them too long. Spies were set round them, who noted the sorrow of each mourner and followed the rotting corpses, till they were dragged to the Tiber, where, floating or driven on the bank, no one dared to burn or to touch them. The force of terror had utterly extinguished the sense of human fellowship, and, with the growth of cruelty, pity was thrust aside."Tiberius also issued countermands to Sejanus' orders and policies, including his anti-Semitic policies. The new official line was to "let the Jews alone" (20). But this was not a casual change of direction. The new mandate arrived amidst the vigorous extermination of many officials Sejanus had put in place. Officials like Pilate.After October 18, 31 AD, Pilate lived in a lethal political context. If Jesus' "trial" happened after this date, Pilate's strange ambivalence toward Jesus and the Jewish leadership is not strange after all—at this moment of history, his prejudices could cost him his life. Knowing this context, we can also understand why Pilate would genuinely dread the chant of those Jews who demanded Christ's execution. The Book of John, Chapter 19: 12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jews kept shouting, "If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. "
Pontius Pilate is a Saint in our Church because he REPENTED at the tomb of Our Lord. His actions prior to his repentance should not be excused or rationalized. His question, "What is truth?" is not evidence of a sincere heart that longed to know Truth, but rather demonstrates a cynical sophistry that seeks to exuse oneself from responsibility and guilt. Pilate was as guilty of Our Lord's death as the Jews, and as guilty as I am. He was the ultimate politrickster, foolishly seeking to appease good and evil at the same time. There is nothing remotely righteous or noble about such cowardice. So, let us not view his actions prior to his conversion as anything less than repugnant. The injustices of the world are facilitated by the mentality of Pilate- the refusal to recognize that not stopping evil is tantamount to committing evil. But in spite of his evil actions, Pilate later repented in sincerinty of heart and was ultiamtely martyred for his faith. So we must honor his repentance and emulate his subsequent faithful and righteous actions; but we must not view his cowardly acquiescence and facilitation of Christ's death as anything less than pure evil.Selam
Christ my God, set my heart on fire with love in You, that in its flame I may love You with all my heart, with all my mind, and with all my soul and with all my strength, and my neighbor as myself, so that by keeping Your commandments I may glorify You the Giver of every good and perfect gift. Amen.

The University of Western Sydney and University of Technology, Sydney have kicked off a joint project to outsource their primary data centres following separate reviews of their IT strategies.
Tender documents issued last week indicated that the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) sought to improve its IT infrastructure and capacity planning by moving its production environment to a "modern data centre facility".
UTS planned to demote its in-house, primary data centre in Sydney's CBD to a high-capacity disaster recovery and development site, replacing an existing secondary data centre at its Kuring-Gai campus in the city's north.
The university approached the market for a data centre host last year but later agreed to partner with the University of Western Sydney (UWS) on the project, due to their "similar requirements and desired outcomes".
Like UTS, UWS planned to outsource its production environment and demote its primary data centre in Parramatta to a disaster recovery site, after determining that both its Parramatta and Kingswood facilities were nearing capacity.
The universities sought a tier-three co-location host for a three- or five-year contract, commencing 2 July.
The site was to be "located within the Greater Sydney area", at an "appropriate distance" from the soon-to-be-secondary data centres in Parramatta and Broadway in the Sydney CBD.
That distance would ensure that neither university suffered outages at both primary and secondary data centres due to natural disasters, road closures, or failures in power or communications links.
Additionally, the site was to be carrier-neutral and include – or be willing to install – points of presence for research network operator AARNet.
Both universities required "caged or technically secured" spaces, with UWS leasing space for 20 racks and UTS leasing space for 11 racks in the first year and five additional racks in a subsequent expansion phase.
According to tender documents, UTS racks drew an average of 4kW and a maximum of 15kW of power, while UWS racks drew an average of 5kW and a maximum of 8kW.
The universities required a 24x7x365 access control system and CCTV monitoring with digital recording of all entry and exit doorways.
Citing a service availability target of 99.98 percent, no more than one critical fault per quarter and no more than three non-critical faults per month, the universities called for information on tenderers' performance during the past year and any service level rebates offered.
Vendors were invited to bid for the project until 30 April.

The National Archives of Ireland has now added the Calendar of Wills from 1858-1922 to its new genealogy platform at www.willcalendars.nationalarchives.ie/search/cwa/home.jsp
The calendars for the north are already online from 1858-1943 in a database format at the PRONI website at www.proni.gov.uk/index/search_the_archives/will_calendars.htm, but this is the first time the entries for the Republic of Ireland - or at least the counties that became the Republic - have gone online. The original northern images are also included up to 1917. The records for the Republic from 1923-1982 are already online via the National Archives of Ireland catalogue, or via a handy link on this blog (see top menu bar!).
As with the PRONI site, there is also a short gap after 1920 - my understanding from the PRONI team is that their version of these comes in a handwritten format, and have not been microfilmed. Something to do with a wee bit of trouble about that time!

(from MZone wire reports) Ann Arbor, MI -- Simmering tensions between Michigan fans supporting Rich Rodriguez and those opposing the beleaguered head coach erupted in hostilities yesterday marking what many consider the start of a civil war amongst the Wolverine faithful.
The initial battle broke out on the main Michigan message boards at Scout.com and Rivals.com in the wake of Michigan's 38-28 loss to Iowa on Saturday. Following the defeat, those against Rodriguez began comparing the 2010 campaign to the clusterfuck that was the
"Rich Rodriguez is the worst coach to ever have coached any sport in the history of sports, including the ancient Greek Olympics. And he probably kills puppies, too," said Rivals poster "9-4AndAVictoryOverFlorida-InANewYearsBowl-DoesntSeemSoFuckingBadNow_DoesIt851" as he fired a cannon shot at the pro-Rich front lines.
|Gen. Brian Cook surveys the battlefield
A second front in the expanding conflict opened up in the Maize and Blue blogosphere when the website Genuinely Sarcastic was so disgusted with Michigan's performance last weekend that they refused to put up a new post following the Iowa game. Instead, the bloggers simply left up their MSU game diatribe, "Disillusionment," which slammed Rodriguez and the direction of the football program under him. Brian Cook, Supreme Commander of the pro-Rich Rod forces at MGoBlog, ordered the anti-Rich Rod rant removed. When Genuinely Sarcastic refused, Cook and his army of some 75,000 plus daily readers encircled the curiously-named site and threatened to cut off their Internet traffic by removing them from his links section.
Faced with a cyber Siege of Stalingrad that would leave its traffic flow on par with this Florida Gator site, Genuinely Sarcastic was able to dispatch a cavalry rider to the MZone in a desperate plea for help. Military experts theorize that the MZone was picked because it's founder, the strikingly handsome and noted lothario, Colonel Fielding Yost, is said to sympathize with the "What the &^%$! is Rich Rod doing to our &^%$! football program?!" faction of Michigan fans.
However, having only recently returned to the blogosphere after being AWOL for 2+ years, Colonel Yost and his meager readership were no match for the Mighty MGoBlog, and calls for reinforcements from the Wolverine Liberation Army went unanswered.

VATICAN CITY — On my way to the Vatican press hall this morning, waiting for the crosswalk light to turn green, I was kind of shocked to see a large convoy of black vehicles with U.S. plates and insignia speed by.
Big burly men with flak jackets leaned out of SUVs and scoped pedestrians — I suddenly realized it probably wouldn't be a very good idea to stick my hand in my bag just then to pull out my sunglasses. So I just squinted in the glare trying to catch a glimpse of who the visiting dignitary might be.
Turns out Lynne Cheney, wife of U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, was being escorted away from the Vatican after an unofficial visit to the tomb of St. Peter. The event was planned at the last minute, according to an official at the Fabbrica di San Pietro, the office responsible for the upkeep of St. Peter's Basilica and the vast necropolis below.
The vice president, who has been meeting with Italian officials this week to discuss U.S. concerns over Russia's actions against Georgia, did not take part in the private tour of the Vatican necropolis.
The second-century subterranean burial ground includes the spot where St. Peter's tomb has been venerated since early Christian times. For the past decade, the Vatican has been using state-of-the-art techniques to repair, restore and conserve the tombs and funerary artwork.
After making obligatory reservations in writing in advance, most visitors interested in seeing the necropolis have a long wait to get in on a tour. However, exceptions are obviously made for visiting VIPs.
One official at the Fabbrica told me they were quite proud so many high-level government officials and their family members from around the world have come to visit the underground mausoleums and the tomb of St. Peter, adding it was hoped these government leaders "get inspired" by the life and example of the martyr buried there.

Ex-cellent: Sizemore belts clutch homer off CC
NEW YORK -- Perhaps the full-fledged offensive revival they seek will come soon. For now, the Red Sox are just hoping to come up with enough timely hits to win.

NEW YORK -- Perhaps the full-fledged offensive revival they seek will come soon. For now, the Red Sox are just hoping to come up with enough timely hits to win.
They were able to do that Friday night at Yankee Stadium, as the big swing of the night -- a three-run homer by Grady Sizemore -- paved the way for a 4-2 victory over the Yankees.View Full Game Coverage
"Yeah, I was just trying to look for a good pitch," said Sizemore. "I wasn't really sitting on anything. I was just trying to hit the ball over the plate and get something good to hit."
Entering the top of the sixth, the Red Sox had only come up with one hit on the night, marking three straight games they had one hit in the first five innings.
But Jonny Gomes tied the game by leading off the sixth with a shot against CC Sabathia.
"CC is such a competitor and bulldog out there," said Gomes. "Once he gets the lead, you have to do what you can to jump him. So coming out in the sixth, he's going to be pounding the strike zone. So I want to try and be aggressive in the count."
With one out, David Ortiz had good fortune on his side, trying to pull back his swing but tapping an infield bleeder past the mound for a hit. Mike Napoli kept the rally going with a single.
Up stepped Sizemore, who belted an 0-1 slider from his former Indians teammate and easily cleared the wall in right.
"You face your friends all the time," Sabathia said. "Me and Grady are really close, and we have been for a long time. That's what makes it even more frustrating, giving up the home run to him. It just is what it is. You go out and compete against your friends and try to get the best of them. He got the best of me tonight."
The Red Sox no longer look at Sizemore as the feel-good comeback story. They look at him as a key ingredient in their lineup.
"To be completely honest with you, I'm not surprised one bit," Gomes said of Sizemore. "I'll tell you right now, if he's healthy, that's what you're going to see. If the tables were turned and he wasn't doing good, I would be completely surprised, to be completely honest. He's a heck of a player."
For Boston, the rally was the type they've lacked of late.
"Jonny leads off that sixth inning with a solo home run off of CC, who really kept us in check with a lot of offspeed pitches here tonight and then Grady gets the 0-1 breaking ball that he hits out of the ballpark and finally we've got a little bit of breathing room," said manager John Farrell.
And the bullpen took it home, despite the absence of closer Koji Uehara, who didn't pitch because of some right shoulder soreness he felt in pregame warm-ups.
Edward Mujica, who saved 37 games for the Cardinals last year, came on for the save, redeeming himself from a tough performance in the home opener. The righty fired a 1-2-3 ninth, ending the game with a punchout of Brett Gardner.
"I'm prepared for whatever situation," said Mujica. "Everybody in the bullpen is prepared for whatever situation. They gave me that opportunity today. I went over there and did my job."
For the third time in as many tries this season, Jon Lester produced a solid start. But this time he got a win to show for it.
The power lefty gave up six hits and two runs over 6 2/3 innings, walking two and striking out six. He threw 113 pitches, 71 of them for strikes.
"I felt all right," said Lester. "I had some grinds in there throughout the game. That's the Yankees. They're going to grind away at you and make you throw a bunch of pitches. Overall, none of that really matters. We won the game, at the end, that's all that matters."
Junichi Tazawa got four big outs, including a flyout to right by Derek Jeter that helped Lester out of a jam in the seventh.
"Well, when you think back to last October, we put him in some of the highest leverage situations with men on base and he excelled in it," said Farrell. "Tonight is no different. He was completely calm and confident."
Lester mowed the Yankees down early, with one exception. Alfonso Soriano led off the second with a towering homer to left to make it 1-0.
The Yankees threatened to come back in the seventh, as Ichiro Suzuki started a two-out rally with a single to right. Lester walked Brian Roberts. Kelly Johnson came to the plate 0-for-14 lifetime against Lester, but he ended that drought with an RBI single to right to make it a 4-2 game.
From there, the Red Sox snuffed out the drama, with the interim closer sealing the game.
"Koji is running a pretty historical career these past five years. It doesn't hurt to hand the ball off to a guy who had 30-plus saves last year," said Gomes. "We're in a good spot with a deep bullpen."

I suppose you can use chicken or even lamb but pork is the best meat, and belly pork the best cut (because of the fat), for this recipe.
optional: dash of soy sauce & pinch of 5-spice powder
Agreed, one of the under-rated ingredient in Chinese cooking. Seldom can we find Nam Yue chicken or pork in dai chow restaurants nowadays.
Oh wow. I've GOT to try this. Thank you for posting this, Terri!
This makes me salivated !! yummy! recently I found another brand of Nam Yue, very good taste!
im gonna bookmark this for my next bbq!
Oooh I love the smell of nam yue..I tried your recipe for nan lu pai gu last year and it was soooo lovely! will bookmark this one for this weekend;)
hard to get quality nam yue. and those China's brandsss always copy the label and make the consumer so confusing. only can get it from local wet market, just wonder why no super market put this on the rack.
j2k: what's dai chow?
ccc: for your next bbq!
sonia: name of the brand?
joe: yes, do so :)
jade: happy tt you did well n liked it:)
gill: we can get nam yue in supermarkets n not wet markets, other way round.
Looks really appetising, Terri! And it's very similar to my siew yoke recipe. Do you remove the skin?
I find in Pen Mal, nam yue sold in small earthern jars tastes better than those in glass jars with red covers. Here, the nam yue is also quite nice. I will check whether they are from Guilin or not. :)
Hi Terri
This dish looked oh-so-yummy @u@! But I am afraid I will have to skip this as too much "samcam" pork will definitely kill my wife... she loves roast pork so this will be killing her softly hahaha!
kat: your siew yoke looks SOOO yummy!
johanathan: but but your wife can afford to eat as much fatty pork as she wants, she's so slim.
If my wife hears you comment her being slim I guess she'll be on cloud nine the whole day! But I am afraid that you are or still looked slimmer than her hahaah
Wow that looks like an amazing meal!

Test Coverage tools
SD supplies test (or code) coverage tools for arbitrary procedural languages, including C, C++, Java, C#, PHP, and many more. Such tools provide statistics and detail information about which parts of an application program have been executed (usually by a test suite). This information is invaluable to software teams to help determine the readiness of software for actual use. The type of coverage information collected is branch coverage, which subsumes statement coverage.
Test coverage tools may also be used to locate application functionality. One simply exercises the functionality of interest, and the test coverage tool indicates what part of the application code is executed. This a a very effective way to locate functionality in a large, poorly understood system.
SD's test coverage tools operate by inserting language-specific probes for each basic block in the source files of interest before compilation/execution. At execution time, the probes record which blocks get executed ("coverage data"). On completion of execution, the coverage data is typically written to a test coverage vector file. Finally, the test coverage data is used to generate a detailed test coverage report (huge Java example), or can be displayed on top of browsable source text (FORTRAN example below) for the system under test, enabling a test engineer to see what code has (green) or has not (red) been executed.
Aside: There are tools from other vendors that instrument binaries or class files rather than source. Such tools typically don't give answers that are as precise as those of source code instrumentation and this causes grief for test engineers (see this Stack Overflow complaint about instrumenting Java class files). The basic reason for imprecision from binary/classfile instrumentation tools is that the binary code simply does not have the same shape as the source code, loses information, and often contains additional artifacts introduced by compilation. Not-the-same shape comes from optimizing away code (that is logically executed even if it is optimized away), and splitting/shuffling source code blocks. Most binary files have at best source-code-line resolution; column positions are lost. Yet in source code often multiple conditionals happen within single source lines. Newly introduced code artifacts (e.g., extra jump table entries on case statements) have no corresponding place in the source code, yet contribute (or not) to what has been covered, in ways that are completely opaque to people looking the source code. The differences between binary and source may seem small, until you a well into testing and tricky question about why some modules aren't getting covered well come up. Bottom line: source code instrumentation produces better, less confusing answers.
Typical Features
- Not dependent on any particular compiler or object formats
- Works with tens of thousands of files
- Very low probe overhead (one or two machine instructions per executed probe)
- Can accumulate coverage data from multiple execution runs
- Browsable source files overlayed with collected coverage information
- Produces coverage report by application, subsystem and file
- Test Coverage delta computation and display, to enable test case minimization
- Can operate with custom/embedded application execution environments
- Consistent style and operation across different languages
- Probe installer and display tool operate on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8
- Application under test can execute in arbitrary native enviroment including embedded WinCE
- Test coverage data from multiple subsystems can be combined into single comprehensive display and summary reports
- Test coverage data from multiple languages can be combined into single comprehensive display and summary reports
- Incremental test coverage (C#, C, C++, Java), telling which tests need to be re-run when source code base changes
Available for the following languages
- C++ (ANSI, MSVC6, MSVS2005-MSVS2012, GNU 3/4/5, and C++14)
- COBOL (IBM Enterprise)
- Java: client, Server (J2EE), embedded, and RealTime Java, Java 1.2-1.6, Java 7 and 8
- PARLANSE (yes, we use our own tools!)
- PHP4 and PHP5
- PL/SQL 10g and 11g
Semantic Designs also provides profiling tools.
Enhancing test coverage by removing dead or redundant code
A key question for most testing organizations is, "how to get the coverage higher?" The usual answer is "write more tests", which is clearly a lot of work. Another way that takes less effort and has other quality payoff is to remove dead or redundant code. SD provides tools to complement test coverage tools to help with that task.
Thumbs up to Test Coverage tool
"LSI has integrated Semantic Designs' Test Coverage tool into its special firmware build to measure effectiveness of its internal testing. Fantastic support from Sematic Designs and the simplicity of the tool ensured we were able to integrate the tool in our process in just couple of days. Great thing about this tool is, IT JUST WORKS as expected and as advertised. We are already seeing measurable benefits of using the tool. Today, we have quantifiable data to assess our testing methodologies and track the improvements."
-- Abhijeet Aphale, Lead Engineer, LSI Corporation
Unusual Requirements?
Your language not listed, runs in an unusual environment, or you have some custom need? SD can configure a test coverage tool for you! These test coverage tools are based on DMS, and inherit DMS's language agility and scalability. A white paper on how test coverage is implemented with DMS is available: TestCoverage.pdf

text: In February 2010, North Carolina exonerated Gregory F. Taylor after he served 17 years of a life sentence for a murder he did not commit. Because of North Carolina's provisions providing for formal review of innocence inquiries,1 Taylor was able to present exculpatory evidence to demonstrate his innocence. Had it not been for North Carolina's forensics laboratory, however, Taylor would likely not have been convicted and sentenced to prison. Although the innocence review panel did not disclose the precise basis of its finding, Taylor's defense team uncovered evidence that the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) Crime Laboratory had failed to disclose exculpatory evidence of serological testing performed on Taylor's car, which was used at trial to (falsely) link him to the crime. While testimony and SBI reports admitted at trial indicated blood had been found on Taylor's car, confirmatory tests performed by SBI prior to trial had been negative for the presence of blood.

Rizzoli & Isles' Lee Thompson Young Dead at 29
Lee Thompson Young, who is best known for his work on Rizzoli & Isles and on the Disney Channel, has been found dead at age 29, sources confirm to JustJared.com.
The cause of death is currently unclear and his body was discovered at his home after he didn't show up at work this morning and staffers on Rizzoli & Isles called his landlord to check up on him. He was reportedly discovered with a gunshot wound that appeared to be self-inflicted, pointing to a possible suicide, TMZ.
Lee made it big as the title character on the Disney Channel's The Famous Jett Jackson and then played Chris Corner in the 2004 movie Friday Night Lights. He was a lead role on TNT's Rizzoli & Isles for the past three seasons as Detective Barry Frost.
We send out our thoughts and prayers to Lee's family and friends during this difficult time.

College of Earth, Ocean, & Environment
The Center for Carbon-free Power Integration (CCPI) at the University of Delaware (UD) fosters interdisciplinary and collaborative scientific research; engages decision makers, industry and civil society and acts as an "honest broker" among them; and enhances the education of the present generation of students with the goal of facilitating the transition to power generation using carbon-free geophysical flows.
These power sources include surface wind, geostrophic winds, and ocean currents. CCPI's primary areas of inquiry are offshore wind power as a means of electricity generation and grid-integrated vehicle (GIV) technology as a means of electricity storage using vehicle-to-grid power (V2G). In 2013, CCPI researchers began to explore marine geothermal resources as another potentially fruitful carbon-free energy source. Please follow the links for additional information about the UD Wind Power Program and the V2G program.
The Center's focus is on electricity and transportation because these two sectors account for the largest fractions of human CO2 emissions, responsible for approximately sixty percent of the carbon and seventy percent of the CO2 emissions in the United States. Acting locally, CCPI researchers conceived of and were instrumental in the development of the 2 MW wind turbine on UD's coastal campus in Lewes, Delaware, and in the related establishment of the partnership between UD and turbine's manufacturer. We remain involved in the business of running the wind turbine and with use the wind turbine as a research and educational platform. Likewise, CCPI researchers also have implemented a pilot V2G project at UD's main campus, and continue to work with industrial partners and automobile manufacturers to provide V2G capable electric vehicles.
Founded in 2008, CCPI traces its V2G roots to the mid-1990s and its offshore wind power roots to 2003. As well, CCPI researchers have appointments in four colleges—Earth, Ocean and Environment (CEOE); Engineering; Business and Economics; and Agriculture and Natural Resources, with the center housed administratively within CEOE.
Below we provide reports summarizing Center activities since 2010.

Best: Puppy Linux
(in other words, Puppy doesn't need antivirus, unless you're scanning a Windows system, or using it as a email server for your Windows network).
For scanning Windows, I use Clam (or ClamWin -- which runs on Windows), I've always liked F-Prot (though their new active Windows software killed my machine performance), and there are a few live-boot CD virus scanners (if I recall correctly, AVG and Avast both have one -- perhaps some others)

Yeah, antivirus is overkill. On the topic of security, it doesn't hurt to use a firewall. By default you are logged in as root on puppy, so being a bit careful might be smart.

Sorry to throw this at you.....the best antivirus I can think of, is to remove the browser, and not plug in a usb stick
Seriously, viruses are for that other OS, in 99.99999% of cases, and come from outside the PC
I've never used F-prot in 4 years, if that's a clue
I do use Firefox, [previously firepup] with WOT plugin to warn me of unsafe sites, and turn on the firewall

it depends on what you are going to do with antivirus.
I scanned one young lady`s laptop with Vista and broken hdd. She had downloaded over 1000 mp3 and wma music songs. LiveCD Bitdefender and f-prot from puppy both found (same ?) 60 trojans which I removed. And she had f-secure antivirus enabled. After I had setup a new hdd to her laptop and copied the rest music, I used newly installed Vista and ms security client and it found still one trojan more.
So If you scan highly infected files, use 2 or more virus scanners one after another in windows OS.
I agree that above recommendations are enough with puppy.
Savefile backup is highly recommended so that you can experiment safely with the other savefile. Or use pfix=ram.

Airm don't worry, what you said does not bother to me.
Obviously a wise user is the best AV
Activating puppy firewall was the first thin I do after setting up the internet connection
But sometimes my friends send me documents, photos, etc and other times i download a binary file o a pet made for someone An I was wondering if I should check those files for viruses (I know that the viruses a .doc file may have can't make damage on Puppy)
I was told that a bin file needs that I granted permission to be an executable file, but sometimes I install a pet or unpack some application files which comes with some executables files ¿Is this a risk?
Besides being a root user made me more vulnerable ¿Doesn't it?
I had another disk with WIN98 SE and clam AV
I'm only trying to learn more about security on Linux, that is a reliable system a is

It is a known bug and Tasmod has released a patch.pet for it. Also there is f-prot commandline package pet for lucid 5.1.1.
To uninstall, usually you go to PPM aka puppy package manager and uninstall it, but if you are using puppy 4.3.1 and use X-F-prot launcher it might be that you have to track files and remove them manually.
Use Pfind and search for f-prot and similar keywords

Thanks for answering me
¿Where can i get that patch pet from?
I should tell you that XFprot didn't appear in PPM
I followed you advice
"Use Pfind and search for f-prot and similar keywords"
And I got this:
¿You say that I have to delete all of them to uninstall f-prot without left looses ends?
Thanks in advance
PS I'm thinking about installing clamp because is a Open Source program

This website has 8 downloadable antivirus live CDs. I haven't tried any of them (yet) and I don't know if they are up to date.
I'm currently downloading the AVG live CD from
and will test it on CDRW. Looks like something I should add to my toolkit.

Hi mgl,
I thought that I should let you know I found that, while the XFProt Gui doesn't appear to work, FProt itself has been installed via the Puppy 4.3.1 menu. So you can run FProt from the command line if the XFProt Front end GUI will not work for you. You need to open a terminal:
If you wish to perform a normal scan, please type the following and press Enter:
f-prot /(type path of file(s) to be scanned)
Further directions and the command line scan options can be found here:
I actually found it just as convenient to use the terminal, since you can open it in whatever directory you are in by right clicking and opening the terminal there. Then the path you have to type is much shorter!
Note that you can scan any thing you like, such as your downloads, but I doubt you'll find a problem on the Linux side of things. From Puppy I've used both F-Prot and ClamAV to scan windows partitions and removed various threats to my family's Windows PCs despite their PCs being supposedly protected and clean. Most of my family are all addicted to Windows I'm afraid. Too bad really.
I've been running Puppy for a few years now as a frugal install and not had any problems so every time I get called to the rescue I never miss a chance to rub it in a little that I don't have the issues they do.
My spouse loves Puppy Linux though so I made one convert!
