RIPLEY – It's a new region for Ripley High School's tennis teams in 2013.
Which perhaps means seeing more qualifiers to the State Tournament than in years past.
"I think they broke up the strongest region in the state," veteran head coach Greg Varney said.
Ripley moves from the powerful Region 4, which featured the bulk of the state's top Class AAA programs to a still very competitive Region 3. Besides Ripley, Region 3 will consist of Beckley, Capital, GW, Greenbrier East, Oak Hill, Princeton, Riverside, Shady Spring and South Charleston.
On the Lady Viking side of the net, Varney welcomes back senior Emily Munson, who last year as a junior broke a Ripley High dry spell by qualifying for the State Tournament in Charleston. She became the first Ripley tennis player to compete in the capital city since 2003.
"I think she is one of the top five girls in the state," Varney said. "She's the hardest working player (boy or girl) I've ever coached. She's really gotten better (from last season). I look for her to win this year at the State Tournament. How far she goes is up to her. She's a future college player."
Sophomore Meghan Frampton returns for the Lady Vikings. Last season she teamed with Munson in doubles.
Sophomores Tyler Barickman and Arin Shatto, who were varsity starters last season in both singles and doubles, also return.
Senior Kaitlin White's is back on the court and that has Varney excited. "She was my No. 1 in middle school but never played varsity. She worked all last summer. She is going to be a major help to us," Varney said. "She's the missing piece of the puzzle that we needed going into a new region and picking her up is a big deal."
Varney said a "big surprise" has been freshman Brooke King. "She was my No. 1 player off the middle school. In our challenges, she's looked really good and really strong."
The Lady Viking squad also includes sophomores Kristin Fike and Caleigh Neal along with ninth graders Olivia Poe and Caisey Adcock.
"I feel like on the girls side we should be extremely successful," Varney said.
Competition has been the key word in the preseason for his Viking boys team.
"Anybody who played for us last year has got to fight for playing time," Varney said. "I think our boys have a shot at a .500 record or better."
Senior Baylee VanKirk returns after playing at No. 1 singles a year ago.
Junior Logan Reynolds is also back. "He could be our No. 1 or No. 2. He's really improved and could be a great tennis player," Varney said. "He's really caught my eye. He hits the ball extremely long, which in tennis is a big deal."
There are several newcomers, including senior Casey Smith. "He was my No. 1 in middle school but hasn't played varsity. He is a backboard. He gets the ball back, he's going to play for us."
Another senior, Jacob Haynes, is out for the first time. "He reminds me of Evan Koontz from last year," Varney said. "He just has to learn to play. He is so quick and athletic."
Senior Jordan Ullom will also see action according to Varney. "He's been a nice surprise."
Other seniors out are Tyler Bailey and Robert Celerio, a foreign exchange student from Mexico. The roster also includes junior Parker Lively and sophomore Tristin Davis.
Freshmen on the roster are J.J. Mahan, Chance Ranson and Derrick Hill. "I look for Mahan to play some. He is strong and hits the ball hard. Hill could be in our top four and I think Ranson will help us down the road," Varney said.
Ripley is slated to open the season at Parkersburg South, Wednesday March 20.

How to elevate your administrator rights to the rights of the system.
**Note: i did not list this info to illegally break into a computer, this is lame and in no way can that be called
hacking. I am absolutely not responsible for the (mis)use of this knowledge / listed tools and i do not encourage
illegal actions with this text.**
Why would we want this?:
It might happen sometime that you would like to access a folder that is created by Windows and when you double click
you get "Access Denied". This can be very frustrating, especially when you have accidentally moved some
important files from to it (This happened to someone not so long ago).
Or you might want to learn more about how the Windows registry works and you will find out that with this technique
you are able to view more keys then with your normal administrator account. This is done to protect the important
files from Windows, but hey, we would like to know more wouldn't we ;-)?
one of those keys is located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\, here you can see for yourself what the difference
would be. (ALWAYS create a backup from the registry before messing with it!).
One other reason might that you would like to access the files from another account on your computer which might have
access rights set or might be encrypted using the NTFS encryption called EFS (Encrypted files system).
This of course should only be done with permission from the owner of those files.
There might be other reasons you could think of, but these are the ones i use them for.
How does it work?:
Well, it's pretty simple, in Windows there are several services running in the background which run under the system account.
We could use one of those services to elevate our rights by normal means. This will be the "schedular" service.
The schedular is a service which allows you to run any program at a particular time for a given number of times.
It allows you to schedule a task and that task will be a child process of the schedular service.
This means it will inherit the same rights as the parent process (schedular).
So if the schedular is running as a system account, anything we will start from it will also be run from the system
You could start the schedular by typing the following command at the command prompt "at XX:XX < option > < application >",
where XX:XX stands for the time you wish the program to start (run the command without the " quotes).
Let's use this knowledge:
Now we would like to elevate our rights so we decide to start the schedular 1 minute from now with the following command:
"at XX:XX /interactive taskmgr" (run the command without the " quotes), where XX:XX is the current time + 1 minute,
e.g. 14:34. This command will let the taskmanager popup in 1 minute.
When the taskmanager is popped up, you could use this to start any other command from it which also will inherit the
system rights.
This is what i usually do:
kill explorer.exe, and then click on the button "new task" in the taskmanager and type "explorer.exe" (without quotes)
and hit < enter >. Now the taskbar and desktop will be loaded again, but now with the system rights.
This means you have a complete GUI running under the system account!!
Now you can access whatever you like from there and you will eventually see you can access a lot more then you can with
your administrator account!
This however is not forever, when you log off (or shut down) the computer, you will have your normal rights back again,
so you would have to perform this action anytime you need it.
Be careful what you do with it, cause when you do something wrong, you could end up destroying your Windows and you would
have to reinstall again!!

~by Shannon Modrell
Do you ever suffer from comparison-itis?
Do you tend to avoid doing things because "it won't be perfect"?
Do you ever worry that what you say or do won't meet the approval of others?
There's an old saying about criticism and gaining the acceptance and approval of others and it's a powerful mantra for kicking self-doubt right out the door. It's called the 4 SW's:
"Some Will, Some Won't, So What, Someone's Waiting"
I see too many people hiding who they authentically are and not sharing their authentic gifts in the world because they feel they don't measure up to some standard of how they should be or how they should express. Meanwhile the world isn't getting the unique benefits of what they have to offer.
Brent and I watched a movie last weekend about the amazing Temple Grandin, PhD. To say that Temple had obstacles to overcome is a gross understatement.
Temple is famous for having designed livestock handling facilities that are more humane, more effective and produce better meat for less money. The systems Temple designed are used worldwide by major corporations. Temple revolutionized the livestock industry!
But here's the catch:
Temple is autistic.
And a woman.
A woman who effected massive change in a VERY male dominated, machismo, slow to change industry.
In the 1960's, no less!
How did she accomplish this? Her autism positioned her for several unique tendencies and abilities:
1) Difficulty relating to people led to a deep kinship with animals.
2) She possessed abilities to perceive patterns of behavior in the animals that enabled her to piece together clues to why current methods of handling were creating stress in the animals, causing unnecessary injuries, and eating up profits.
3) She taught herself to draft the blueprints of her unconventional designs and translate those scale drawings into 3 dimensional form in exquisite detail in her mind, executing a completely operational and successful prototype – with no training or experience. This was key in convincing ranchers to spend obscene amounts of money on systems that seemed outrageously ineffective by their own standards. (These are all common traits in persons with autism)
So what would seem to many like a death-sentence for productivity (they actually said that about autism back then) turned out to be the exact formula for Temple to create a massive contribution to the world. BTW, she is now considered "the most accomplished and well known adult with autism in the world" (see her website) She's the author of numerous groundbreaking and books and articles on animal welfare and autism advocacy.
What if Temple said "I can't convince a bunch of ranchers to treat livestock more humanely, I'm autistic, I'm a woman, and I have no engineering experience!" What if Helen Keller said "I can't write inspiring books or fight for women's suffrage, I'm deaf AND blind, no one will believe in me!" What if Einstein said "I can't influence the world of physics, I'm dyslexic and failed in school!"
What we think is our greatest weakness usually turns out to be our greatest strength.
So the next time you're tempted to hold yourself back in life because you think you don't have what it takes, or believe no one would benefit from your contribution, I hope you'll remember Temple Grandin…and the 4 SW's:
Some Will, Some Won't, So What? Someone's Waiting!

Plant functional traits and patterns of community assembly during natural rain forest regeneration
The global reduction in tropical old-growth forests urges a more complete understanding of how these forests can regenerate following disturbance. Plant functional traits are morphological and physiological characteristics of species which will likely illuminate successional pathways due to their importance in plant performance. Community level measures of functional trait values are valuable in assessing mechanisms of community assembly during secondary forest regeneration. Preliminary results of functional traits from dominant species in one secondary and one mature forest at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica show predicted trends of community assembly in functional traits. Further research will clarify patterns and elucidate conservation and management strategies.

A conditional autoregressive (CAR) model for detecting site dependence in evolution of DNA sequences
ABSTRACT: Most methods for phylogenetic analysis assume that every site in a DNA sequence evolves independently. However, this assumption is violated in many cases, especially for DNA sequences coding for proteins and those with secondary or tertiary structure after transcription. Although the auto-discrete-gamma model and hidden Markov-chain model implemented separately by Yang (1995a) and Felsenstein and Churchill (1996) allow rates to be correlated across adjacent sites, they cannot model more complex correlation scenarios. Here, we describe an approach to modeling the dependence of evolutionary rates among DNA sequence sites using a conditional autoregressive (CAR) model. CAR models allow a priori knowledge of a molecule's secondary or tertiary structure to be used for explaining the correlated evolution in them, and are capable of being extended to many situations involving spatial correlations. We implemented the model in a fully Bayesian approach, with all parameters of the model considered as random variables. The marginal likelihood is calculated by Steppingstone sampling for comparing the CAR model with alternative models.
Karolina Fučíková
What Bracteacoccus is not.
Traditionally, the classification of coccoid green algae depended on subtle morphological differences, without much information about the potential variation or plasticity of these traits. The use of molecular sequence data provides a high number of characters that are not subject to phenotypic plasticity and therefore are assumed to provide a more direct measure of phylogenetic relationships. Molecular phylogenetic studies of coccoids often yield unexpected results, uncovering cryptic diversity as well as placing taxa in dramatically different positions from those expected under the morphological paradigm. As part of a monographic study of the chlorophycean genus Bracteacoccus, several strains deposited in culture collections under this generic name were found to belong to other green algal genera. Although morphologically similar to young cells of Bracteacoccus, these algae were demonstrated to belong to the genera Myrmecia and Pseudomuriella based on 18S and rbcL sequence data. These cases may represent two of potentially many discrepancies of morphological and sequence data.

Fire, climate, & biomass (from space)
The U.S. Climate Change Science Program has recognized the need to understand the ecological impacts of global climate change on phenology and disturbance regimes (such as fire). In the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, analysis of the historical (1980-2006) fire record reveals that increased temperatures and decreased precipitation increases fire probability and that the mean fire return time has shortened by four years since 1950. But before we can make projections about future fire regimes under a different climate, we must understand how biomass (fuel load) accumulation is also affected by climate change. We show that remotely sensed data can be used to monitor post-fire biomass accumulation in this system, which opens possibilities to use the satellite data archive to investigate how biomass accumulation rates are affected by weather.

But will it float? Evolution of inflorescence architecture in Nymphoides (Menyanthaceae)
The genus Nymphoides includes about 40-50 species distributed worldwide, the majority of which have floating leaves supporting flowers that must be pollinated above water. The evolutionary origin of the floating-leaved habit in this group is particularly interesting because of its association with the specialized inflorescence architecture. Several broad inflorescence types exist in Nymphoides, with the most specialized consisting of a single cluster of flowers supported by a single floating leaf. The nearest relatives of Nymphoides do not have floating leaves obligately associated with their inflorescences, and these represent a valuable point of comparison when reconstructing the evolution of inflorescence architecture in Nymphoides. Published morphological accounts of inflorescences in Nymphoides describe them as consisting of successive sympodial units, in which the apex terminates and growth continues from an axillary bud. I have developed a hypothesis about how the different inflorescence types evolved through successive reduction in the number of leaves and flowers per sympodial unit. Ultimately, the most derived morphology (the clustered-flower type) represents several sympodial units, each consisting of a single bract and a single flower.
Roland de Gouvenain
Population ecology and life history traits of Cupressus forbesii: human influences from changes in fire regime
We use the Tecate cypress (Cupressus forebesii Jeps.), a fire-adapted short-lived tree species endemic to southern California and northern Baja, Mexico, as a model to examine whether more than a century of fire regime difference across the US-Mexico international border has selected for different reproductive life history traits, produced different population demographics, and generated different genetic variability among perennial plant populations. Our hypotheses are that Baja populations, being subjected to a more variable and fine grained fire regime, should exhibit multiple age classes, older tree age at maturity, facultative serotiny, and greater among-population genetic variability. California populations on the other hand, being subjected to a very narrow variation in mostly stand-replacement fire regime resulting from strict fire suppression management, should exhibit fewer age classes, younger tree age at maturity, obligate serotiny, and lower among-population genetic variability. Preliminary data indicate that Baja populations may exhibit multiple age classes including adults and young seedlings, even though no stand-replacement fire has occurred there in at least 35 years, a phenomenon not observed on the US side of the border.

Evolutionary Insights About Nectarivores' Bills Structures
Studying specialized nectarivorous birds, I have found a set of morphological traits that seems to be involved in their feeding performance and social organization. Features improving feeding efficiency include structures finely tuned by physical laws in the nectar extraction process. Traits related to social systems are proposed sexually dimorphic weapons employed in fights for resources.

Pelargonium community structure in South Africa: The influence of phylogeny, body plan and climate.
I investigated the roles that phylogeny, body plan and climate play in the structuring of small scale Pelargonium communities. I found that there is no evidence that genetic relatedness predicts how close individuals live to each other.

First of all, I Have been gone a loooooooooooooooong time, but I'm coming back, to brikwars, to the forum, to . A lot of things have happened on Praëtoria, Leaders rise and fall, empires conquer and are conquered, and there have been LOADS of Predators (The're basically a long bloodline of heros.) There was also a long time of small scale batlles (Cuz peace sucks but we're not at war).
But not anymore.
Ragnablok is coming, the immortal war is heating up. We cannot remain idle.
It is time to act.
Predator 24#

'I'm telling you, the world should be tolerant...'
'...they shouldn't kill us cuz we're pe' BOOM! Headshot.
'Two kills confirmed.'
DeathSqaud 1: 'What are we even looking for by the way?'
DeathSqaud 2: 'Don't ask me. I'm not sqaudlead.'
Predator: 'We're here for to pay a visit to my great-great-granddad.' (The first Predator/the one I showed you before I went.)
'Charge set!'
'Clear left!'
'Clear right!'
'I've been expecting you.'
'Put on the armor. Everything will become...clearer'
The Paranormal being vanishes, but leaves his armor behind
'Best do as he says.'
(This is the first time since birth his face is seen. Those who put on his helmet at birth get shot.)
Suddenly Predator enters a paranormal state, and the presence of two well known figures becomes clear (A little bit of explaining, Warhead and Natalya are here, but only in mind, not in body, if predator tried to kill them, then they would just vanish, but Warhead and Natalya do have control over this being.:end of boring shit:)
Natalya of the Assyrian Star Empire
Warhead of the immortal empire
'Join the immortal alliance! You can have all the power you want, and you get out of this 'tight spot' '
'Don't listen to him! They will take over the galaxy, and kill all who apose them!'
'I apreciate both offers, but this is not a decision to be taken lightly. You'll hear from me after I think this through.'
Predator takes both weapons, and his mind slowly goes back to normal.
'Grab the valuables, and put them in the chinook. Once we recover I need to go on a...field trip.'
What do you guys think?

It looks like CBS is attaching it's own little "we don't condone" statement to the live feeds now.Logged in tonight, and before the feeds, this window popped up.
On the plus side, she makes Dan and Shelley look tame, and I thought they played a real dirty game.
I don't think she should be pulled because that will reinforce in her mind her "victim" status. She really doesn't seem to comprehend just how wrong her words and actions are so pulling her from the game is just going to "prove" to her that CBS set her up to look bad. She may never get it, but I think leaving her in there to feel the criticism of her housemates until she is evicted and comes out to face the music is the best chance of ever getting her to realize that she may need to change her ways. Her comments are inexcusable, but it sadly is a realistic portrayal of the way some people feel and (even though I like watching the show) Big Brother really is a microcosm of this country and a lot of the things that are going wrong in it.
Why haven't we heard outrage regarding Amanda? She has said horrible racial comments but I haven't seen any backlash from it in the media. I'm ready for her to go home.
Quote from: bee1233 on July 30, 2013, 07:55:20 PMWhy haven't we heard outrage regarding Amanda? She has said horrible racial comments but I haven't seen any backlash from it in the media. I'm ready for her to go home. Good question. Lately she's been "talking" as if she is Chinese or perhaps a Vietnamese person who works in a nail salon. It's racist speech just as bad as what Aaryn said.

"I like it when comedies have some heat and some zing," says director Robert Walsh of "Bank Job," which opens the 2017 Gloucester Stage Company season this Friday. "I'm not opposed to doing fluffy, goofy stuff, but when a comedy has a message, that makes it a little more interesting."
If you go...
WHAT: "Bank Job," at the Gloucester Stage Company
WHERE: Gorton Theatre, 267 East Main St., Gloucester
WHEN: May 19 through June 10
TICKETS: $32-$42. Visit www.gloucesterstage.com or call 978-281-4433.
Don't rob banks. People will laugh at you.
"I like it when comedies have some heat and some zing," says director Robert Walsh of "Bank Job," which opens the 2017 Gloucester Stage Company season this Friday. "I'm not opposed to doing fluffy, goofy stuff, but when a comedy has a message, that makes it a little more interesting."
"Bank Job," by playwright John Kolvenbach, debuted just last year at Kansas City's Living Room Theatre. It involves two brothers who rob a bank — or at least try to.
"If I laugh out loud when I'm reading the script — well, that's pretty much how I tell it's funny," Walsh says.
"We have a great cast for this one," he says. "We're lucky — usually, when you open in May, the other theaters have snatched up all the good actors."
Paul Melendy and Nael Nacer star as the bank robbing brothers. Johnny Lee Davenport returns to the GSC stage as Dale, the conniving security guard, and Richard McElvain returns as well in the role of Francis, the brothers' father. Shuyi Jia makes her GSC debut as Jill, a hapless bank customer stuck in a bathroom stall.
"It's like a little Rubik's Cube when you put the season together," Walsh says. "But there's no formula. I'm still scratching my head about last season — some of the plays that I thought would click — well, I was surprised that they didn't do better.
"The feedback I get from audiences is that they like variety, and not being fed one thing all the time. And I think one of our responsibilities, and our mission, is to present new work. So long as we keep the quality of production high, we'll continue to get high marks."
Staging comedy is always hard — it helps in this case to have a great cast. "Fitting 'Bank Job' into a thrust stage presents a few visual challenges," Walsh says. "There's a couple special effects, and other things that have to happen physically, that have me holding my breath. But the rest of it is fun, with lots of twists and turns."
Kolvenbach has had a number of successes before "Bank Job," with plays presented in New York, London and Chicago. GSC general manager Jeff Zinn has directed two of his works, "Love Song" and "On an Average Day," at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater.
"I'm interested in bringing in certain directors," Walsh says, "and Jeff and I talk over the possibilities. But the competition is hard too. But from what I hear from audiences, it's not unwise to open a season with a comedy like 'Bank Job.'
"John's work is delightful," Walsh says. "It's offbeat, and it's funny and warm."

Madalina Ghenea — Crush of the Day
We may have mentioned Madalina Ghenea's name around here before, but can you blame us for bringing her up again? The Romanian supermodel is beyond hot. We can barely stand to glance at a picture of her without having to excuse ourselves by saying, "I'll be in my bunk."
The model-actress had been romantically linked to stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Gerard Butler, and she's set to woo another Hollywood A-lister, on the big screen anyway. Ghenea is co-starring with Jude Law in the upcoming crime thriller 'Dom Hemingway.'
The movie will mark Ghenea's U.S.-English language film debut. We're willing to bet she'll win a huge fan base when the flick hits theaters, and we're looking forward to seeing this tall, sexy beauty steaming up the box office for years to come.

Adam Lambert's 'Aftermath' Remix: Exclusive First Listen!
Check out this exclusive first listen of Adam Lambert's new Billboard remix of "Aftermath"!
The 29-year-old entertainer will perform an acoustic version of "Aftermath" TONIGHT (March 10) on American Idol!
After his performance, you can buy the remix on AdamOfficial.com – a portion of the proceeds will benefit The Trevor Project, a crisis intervention and suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ youth.
"["Aftermath"]…was written about finding the courage to be honest with yourself and the people who love you. It's about facing adversity and taking risks in the name of personal liberation. The song takes on different meanings to different listeners," Adam said in a statement. "I hope this song inspires people to be who they truly want to be… And dance!"

The 2013 Winter X Games are coming this weekend. Are you ready for them? Well if you're not, or even if you are we've prepared a little handy guide to help you get up to speed. We have a feeling this year's going to be one X Games you don't want to miss out on…
The Street Jam:
PHOTOS: Aaron Blatt
The Street Jam rules. It gives a chance for dudes who normally wouldn't be in the X Games becasue they are out busting in the street a chance to get some big time exposure. The dudes in this years jam are :
Forest Bailey (He won it last year)
If you're in Aspen it's going down on Friday from 1:30-3:00 in the afternoon. Or if you're watching it on TV it's on at 3-5 in the afternoon on ESPN.
Here's a video of what went down last year. It was heavy and a killer way to kick off the X-Games.
Big Air:
PHOTOS: Aaron Blatt
Big air is for sure a crowd please-er. Watching dudes send it over a huge jump and do crazy spins and flips is a pretty amazing spectacle. It's not an event you can miss. This video should show you what we're talking about…
The dudes sending the jump this year are:
Mark McMorris ( He won it last year)
If you're in Aspen it's going down on Friday from 8:30-10 at night. Or if you're watching it on TV it's on at 10:30-12:30 at night on ESPN.
PHOTOS: Aaron Blatt
Slopestyle is cool. For those of you who don't know what it is ( we're guessing you all know what it is, but what the hell) it's rails and jumps. It's supposed to be like riding a snowboard park, but no snowboard parks look like slopestyle courses these days. Two pretty crazy rail set ups followed by four big jumps, it's a guarantee you're going to see some technical and crazy tricks go down.
The invited riders for the girls are:
Jamie Anderson ( She won it last year)
Silje Norendal
And for the guys it's:
Mark McMorris ( He won it last year)
The guys are hitting the slope course first this year with it going down live on Saturday from 12-1:15 in the afternoon, and the ladies following up at 1:30-2:45. It's going to be on ESPN and ABC from 2-6.
PHOTOS: Aaron Blatt
Superpipe is an event that people love, which is funny becasue no one ever rides the pipe when they go to the resort. The reason for that is that it's really, really hard. So when you see people who are good at it it's pretty awesome to watch. These people are all really good at it.
Invited women are:
Kelly Clark ( She won it last year)
The invited guys are:
Shaun White ( He won it last year. With a perfect score…)
The ladies are hitting the pipe first. They drop in on Saturday at 7:15-8:30, with it showing on ESPN on Saturday from 9-11 at night. The guys close out the X Games when they drop in on Sunday from 7:45-9:00 at night, with it showing live on ESPN. So make sure you watch it!

Snare rolls, and travelling hi hats make this a true southern icon.

security VS reliability .. what implicature ?
Hi BDS Lovers !!
Security VS Reliability ..
while reading the errata page a week ago , a question came into my mind concerning the dividing line between a security issue , and a reliability issue ..
what does each involve ? what can a reliability fix be which a sec fix can't and vice versa ?
I'm sure the OpenBSD Team does not swap the two terms , nor do they use them gratuitously..
Last edited by daemonfowl; 27th March 2012 at 03:51 PM.
Per the Computing Dictionary:
As for OpenBSD, let us look at this simple Venn Diagram, linked from Wikipedia for expediency:
Assume that the set on the left is Reliability, and the set on the right is Security. The union of the two is where Reliability and Security are the same. In software terms, this is often areas where coding errors impact both. The effort to eliminate those problems is described as a drive for code correctness.
OpenBSD's security goals are described in www.openbsd.org/security.html, where the Project's Audit program is described. The text discusses the effort to establish and maintain code correctness:
"We are not so much looking for security holes, as we are looking for basic software bugs....During our ongoing auditing process we find many bugs, and endeavor to fix them even though exploitability is not proven. We fix the bug, and we move on to find other bugs to fix. We have fixed many simple and obvious careless programming errors in code and only months later discovered that the problems were in fact exploitable."In summary, then, while the size of the union of the two sets is non-deterministic, I believe it is quite large, and I appreciate the Project's effort to strive for correctness as a cornerstone of both proactive security and reliability.
Last edited by jggimi; 27th March 2012 at 05:54 PM. Reason: clarity
Thanks very much Jgimmi !!
I bet the intersectional sphere is the outcome of the OpenBSD Team's strife to put coding parameters back on track .. so .. reliability is code correctness and security is system-wide correctness and both make up what might be technically labelled {a mature & stable OS} .. I am right here ? am I right to say that Tanenbaum diapproves of linux kernel because of this very issue ? code correctness .. while praising NetBSD .. the more one tries to patch and fix issues the more it gets worse until it reaches windows-like cases .. underneath .. I remember he used the word spaghetti .. as analogy ..
In what way am I wrong to characterize MacOsX (for instance) as a {reliabe+insecure} OS ?
Last edited by daemonfowl; 27th March 2012 at 08:36 PM.
I honestly don't know, Daemonfowl. I perceive knf(9) and the audit program as ways to manage both problem/error sets, beyond their union. But these alone do nothing for third party applications (ports/packages), and in many cases, that's what we depend upon.
We rely on security technologies developed by and included with OpenBSD to help protect us from bugs in the OS or in third party applications, and those may have security implications. Example technologies that come to mind: ProPolice, W^X, strlcopy, malloc randomness. There are more. Most of these will function without modifications to third party software. Some, like strlcopy and its sister function strlcat, require active implementation in the source code, either by the port maintainer or conducted in upstream development by the 3rd party.
Some of these technologies will stop a flawed application from functioning, reducing the application's reliability but increasing the security and reliability of the overall system. This would be in a problem space where, from the flawed application user's perspective, the sets do not have a union.
I have no experience as a user of OS X (other than casually using someone else's workstation for short periods) and therefore do not know anything about either its reliability or its security. I know that it has closed source components, and, like any closed source program, reliability can be subjective, and perhaps anecdotal.
I can't talk to Andrew T.'s public pronouncements, since I haven't read them.
concerning Tanenbaum's statement , look here please :
People can easily get infatuated with Mac .. it's like Pandora's charm .. even Larry Wall courted the OS : "Apple has always been, tried to be, at least, the arbiter of good taste" .
as far as usability is concerned .. I confess Mac is super-easy super-user-friendly (yet a GUI-jailed user-friendliness ) .. that it allows fast data transfer (usb , firewire .. ) .. that it offers a superfast (but also super-expolitable) Safari .. that it has a charming GUI .. Yet .. for some , an fvwm with an xsetroot -solid springgreen would outmatch all GUIs ..
Diogenes once said : " What a lot of things I don't need .. " :-)
Much of their argument centered around Tanenbaum advocating microkernel design as being the next step in OS implementation while Torvalds advocated a simpler monolithic structure because it is easier to implement. Much of their debate was fueled by their respective egos, & because the feud was so public, this may have led to the rise of Linux because:
"The spaghetti down there" I think may have been a reference to the scheduler. I'm getting that from the huge comments, I haven't started to read the interview... But from them, I can see that everyone responding appears to interprets the interview from their own history; and their own biases.

Back to Consulting Rankings
Which firms fare best on these individual rankings of key employment factors?
When it comes to a satisfying work experience, there are many
different factors that come into play--everything from a job's
ability to challenge an employee and the training and mentoring on
offer to the number of hours spent working or travelling each week,
and the compensation that the employee takes home for doing their
job. All told, we have identified 22 separate "Best to Work For"
factors--each of which is represented by its own ranking. These
rankings help to build a picture of the firms consultants find the
most amenable to a fulfilling, satisfying work experience.
Survey respondents were asked to rate their own firm across a
variety of factors that affect their daily working lives. Those
factors are:
Ability to Challenge
Exit Opportunities
Firm Culture
Firm Leadership
Formal Training
Hours in the Office
Informal Training
Interaction with Clients
Internal Mobility
International Opportunities
Overall Business Outlook
Promotion Policies
Relationships with Supervisors
Travel Requirements
Vacation Policies

If you're not in Chicago today, you're lucky. It's 11 degrees with a wind chill of minus-7. Not so sure if it's Bear weather anymore, since the Bears haven't had that much success in cold weather as of late. Let's just hope it affects the visitors from Texas more than the Bears.
Glad to be back with you after a few weeks of schedule shuffling. Since my CBS feed is awful here at the office, I need to go back to using rabbit ears to get a cleaner picture. Sigh.
Adam Caldarelli checks in from Soldier Field: Greetings from the Frozen Tundra South. You can tell it's winter in Chicago because every possible surface is covered with its traditional seasonal white layer of road salt. In keeping with this week's them, I polled eight anonymous meteorologists and they all voted Tom Skilling's forecast for today the most-overrated of the month. Game-time temperature is about 71 degrees. No need for that parka wait, that's in the press box. Outside's another story. It's a bit nippier. Skilling's calling for a high of 16, but the thermometer in my car read 22 as I pulled up to Soldier Field. Maybe this is some kind of psychological ploy for the visiting warm-blooded Houston Texans. There's certainly some kind of Siberian clipper coming out of the northwest--17 mph, the press box guy says--that's got the lake, the players and the fans all agitated and certainly will drop the windchill to a Yukon Territory level. Soon we'll have play-by-play of this traditional matchup of the 5-8 Chicago Bears and the 5-8 Houston Texans, so sit tight, put another log on the fire and help yourself to more glog.
As per usual, send your questions to Adam and he'll get the answers in the locker room after this game. Just use the form on the right.
Adam: Inside Soldier Field the fans-not many of them--are filing in. Apparently blaze orange and Carharts are the new rage this winter. The turf looks like one would expect a living organism without the benefit of a hat and mittens on a day like this would look and these poor guys trying to wave the gigantic Bears flags are struggling. The Texans are wearing their traditional white jerseys with the red trim and gray pants. The Bears, in yet another mind trick, are wearing Speedos.
Football next
Adam: OK, now it's official: ChicagoTribune.com is reporting it's cold out. Seriously, it's game-time and this place is half-filled. Not that I blame the people who stayed home. But Bears fans' reputation as tough and mean has taken a major hit today. Doing some last minute shopping at the American Girl store, are we?
The Bears receive and will start at their own 28. Look for lots of running plays. Slight delay as Cameron Worrell is hurt. Jones carries on first down for a few. Worrell walked off the field on his own. A screen to Jason McKie gets 5 and the Bears face third-and-3. A screen to Jones and he finds room along the sideline and gets to the Bears 48. Jones runs off tackle left and gains 6 more. A reverse to Bernard Berrian and he gains 3. Texans QB David Carr said Berrian was his favorite receiver at Fresno State. Jones goes up the middle and gets the first down at the Houston 37. Hutchinson throws one in the flat for Wade, but it's behind him and almost picked off. Jones carries for 5. Sweep to Jones and he trips just shy of the first down marker and it'll be fourth-and-1.
Adam: Got to go for it, Lovie. You're 5-8.
They do go for it....and Jones goes wide and after it looked like he wouldn't make it, he does find some space and runs to the 23.
Adam: Great individual effort by Jones to pick up that first down.
Jones gets the call again and picks up 2. Jones again...and he gains 6 more. Jones gets the call again and he fumbles and the Texans grab it. Jason Babin recovers.
Adam: Cue the sound when PacMan dies. That sums up that drive. Jones was taking it right at the Texans. He carried the ball eight times and five straight on that drive before fumbling. I don't recall Jones fumbling that much this season.
Not sure what happened there as the ball really popped out. He was not hit on the play.
Houston starts at the 35 and they go to Domanick Davis, their top rusher, and he gets just a yard. Davis carries out to the 43. On third and short, Davis sweeps to his left and he has a big hole and runs all the way to the Bears 34.
Adam: On an unrelated note, anyone see that Atlanta-Carolina game last night? Dez White? Who knew?
Carr finds Andre Johnson for a short gain to the 30. Davis gets nothing on second down. Davis gets 26 on a draw play and Kris Brown comes on to try a 43-yard field goal and he pushes it right.
Hutchinson finds Jones out near the sideline and they get 5. Jones carries and he'll lose a couple. Chad throws for Wade and it's complete, but for no gain. Maynard punts and J.J. Moses returns it to the Houston 25.
Davis gains 2 and then 4 more and it's third-and-4 and that's the quarter.
Second quarter
Carr is under pressure and throws one wide and low intended for Johnson and Houston will kick. Chad Stanley shanks the punt and the Bears will begin at their own 48.
Adam: Today is the first time the Bears are letting a select few fans sit on the field. Is that some kind of reward or a punishment? I think the seats come with blankets, which is nice.
A-Train comes on and breaks away for a 13-yard gain to the Texans 39. Thomas again and he'll get 3 more. A-Train gets a yard. Chad slips going back to pass, but still gets rid of the ball, but the pass for Terrell is broken up. Paul Edinger will try a 53-yarder. Wonder if it's a fake? It is, and Edinger tries a pass and it's picked off, but Aaron Glenn is taken down near the 15. No harn done.
Adam: Oh, dear. That's going to kill Edinger's passer rating. You can't throw into triple coverge like that. I guess he was giving defensive tackle Israel Idonije a chance to make a play.
Don Criqui on CBS called him Edin-ger instead of Edin-Jer. Nice.
Carr looks for Johnson and he's double-covered and it's incomplete. Tank Johnson nailed Carr on the play.
Adam: Like the Panthers used Julias Peppers last night, I don't see that role in Idonije's future. Though, he's from Manitoba and may be the only guy who doesn't mind the weather.
Davis gets a yard and now Houston is called for a false start. From the 12, Carr tosses one to Davis and he's taken down at the 14 and the frosty crowd loves it. Stanley's punt is fumbled by R.W., but he falls on it just inside the 50.
Hey, Santa's in the crowd. From the 42 of Houston, Jones goes straight ahead for a few. Chad throws a screen to McKie and the pass is low and he can't hold it. Chad has time to throw and he finds Clark in the middle of the field to the Texans 28. Reverse to Berrian and he's going to lose a bundle back to the 38. That's a 10-yard loss. Here's a screen to A-Train and he has room and almost gets it all back. An 20-yard gain to the 18 and the Bears are a foot short. Let's see if they can hang on to the football on this drive. Oh my...false start on the Bears on Kreutz. Now it's third-and-5.
Adam: For one of the leaders of the Bears and Pro-Bowler, Olin Kreutz sure false starts a lot--in crucial situations.
Thomas carries and can only reach the 20. Edinger comes on and hooks one like one of my golf drives and we're still scoreless. That was a 37-yard attempt.
Adam: Even after the 5-yard penalty the Bears ran the same play as if it were fourth-and-inches. I'm thinking scoreless draw today.
It seems like a season-long problem for the Bears. They always make a mistake at the worst time. Even something as simple as a false start when you only need a foot for a first down. Then they run again and don't make it and miss the field goal.
Adam: Chris, the reason Criqui keeps mispronouncing Edigner's name is because the press box announcer keeps doing the same.
Carr goes to Gaffney near the sideline and Houston will have a first down. A big pickup there. Texans take a timeout. From the Bears 43, Carr and Gaffney hook up again and that's a gain of 11 more. Carr goes to pass and is forced to run and he goes out at the 31. Davis gets the call and he's gang-tackled right at the 31. Only 4 minutes to play in the half. Texans are called for a false start and so it's back to the 36. On third down, the Bears get good pressure on the QB and he fires incomplete. Houston will punt. It's a touchback.
From the 20, the Bears are called for holding after Chad completed a pass. Great. Chad is rushed and he almost falls down and he finds Terrell for the first down at the 30. Nice play by Chad. On first down, Hutchinson, running backwards, throws incomplete. Jones carries and he'll get about 4. Glad to see the Bears using Jones and Thomas. We're at the two-minute warning.
On the board on the right of this page, "a fan" wants to know if the Bears can make the playoffs if they win out. The answer is yes, but they'll need some major help.
Adam: One positive about this game? It's rolling right along.
Hutchinson goes back to pass and linebacker Kailee Wong is in his face, forcing Chad to throw it away. CBS said Thomas Jones was wide open, but Chad had no chance. Bears punt.
Adam: Manitoban and Israel Idonije fan, Andrew T., checks in with an e-mail from the Great White North: "Thanks for the Manitoba plug. Just so you know, up here in Idonije's province, it's hovering around -40 with the wind. You guys have it good!"
Texans start at their 33. carr has time and it's a short pass to Davis for 9 and they're in the two-minute drill. Davis gets the first to the 43. On first down, Carr is under pressure, but throws and it's almost picked by R.W. Now Alex Brown breaks up a Carr pass and it'll be third down. Carr finds Andre Johnson open on the sidelines for a gain of 28 to the Bears 28. Davis sweeps right and gets about 8, but Houston is called for holding. That's big. Back to the 38 with 34 seconds left. Carr goes for it all and Corey Bradford makes a diving grab in the end zone for the TD. A perfect pass and an incredible catch. Bradford is called for excessive celebration and they'll mark off 15 yards on the kickoff. The PAT is good.
Texans 7, Bears 0
Adam: Corey Bradford should be fined for that. He could've taken someone's eye out with a stunt like that. Where are the Detroit Piston fans when you need them? He tried to throw the ball against the wall but it sailed high and nearly nailed a fan.
Houston has to kick from the 15 and Adrian Peterson returns it all the way to the Texans 46 with :22 left. Chad looks downfield and throws and it's picked off by Dunta Robinson and he goes down the sidelines to the Bears 36. Carr throws incomplete and then on the last play of the half, he is forced to run and goes out of bounds.
Third quarter
Texans start at the 25 and they lose 3 on the first play. Carr hits Bradford across the middle and he close to the first. He has it at the 35. Davis carries for no gain. Davis again and he's across the 40. Carr rolls out and will keep it, but he'll run out of bounds short of the first. McQuarters takes the punt at the 15 and is hit immediately.
Send your game questions to Adam and he'll get the answers in the locker room. Just use the form on the right.
Boy, CBS is really promoting "60 Minutes" with Ricky Williams tonight. Who cares?
Bears lose 4 on a run and then are forced to call a timeout. Chad looks for Jones wide and it's too short. Third-and-long. Not good. Chad finds Jones, but it's low and it's only a 4-yard gain. After the punt, Houston will start at their own 47.
Adam: The half start yet?
Domanick Davis sweeps left and rushes to the Bears 44. He had 201 yards in total offense against the Colts last week. He has 61 yards rushing today. Now he carries for 5 more. Time for a big play by the defense. Davis won't go anywhere this time as the Bears put up a wall and he loses 2. Carr looks for Bradford about 10 yards downfield and it falls to the turf. Stanley kicks.
Looking at the NFL scoreboard, Dallas leads 7-6 at Philadelphia in the third quarter. Wow. Terrell Owens had to leave the game with an ankle injury. Vikes in front of Detroit 14-13 in the third.
Bears start at the 20. Hutchinson has to throw quickly and it's almost picked off in the flat. Jones finds some room to run and gains 8. Jones goes straight ahead and he gets blasted and will come up just shy. Where's A-Train there? With 6 minutes to go in the quarter, Maynard's punt goes out of bounds at the Texans 19.
Davis runs right and there's nowhere to go and he'll lose a few. Carr looks to his left and then throws right out of bounds. On third-and-12, Carr is flushed from the pocket and he has to throw it away. No intentional grounding because he was out of the pocket. From the 4, Stanley punts and R.W. calls a fair catch at the Houston 48, so a good place to start. Maybe they should look long.
Chad fakes the handoff and he rolls right and tries to dump one toward the sideline and it's knocked away. Hutchinson looks for Wade and he's double-covered and it's almost intercepted near the 25. Now Hutchinson is hit as he throws and here comes yet another punt. Jueff George anyone? At this point, why not?
Adam: There's a kid who looks about 12 right below the press box without his shirt on. He's getting high-fives from people in the crowd. I don't spot his parents but if they're located, we'll be sure to notify DCFS.
The temperature is now down to 10 and the wind chill is -6. Houston starts at the 14 and Carr is under pressure and he throws complete, but the receiver came back into play after stepping out of bounds, so that's a 5-yard penalty. Back to the 9. Carr throws to Mark Bruener and he had it, but dropped it. It was close to a reception with and a fumble. Delay of game on Houston. From the 4, it's second-and-19. The crowd's into the game now and Carr takes a timeout. Carr goes to throw and he's almost out of the end zone and he throws it into the ground. That's a safety because he was still in the pocket. Adewale Ogunleye gets credit for the safety.
Texans 7, Bears 2
Adam: Strange dichotomy up here in the heights of Soldier Field: The kid's still out there, but some dandy in a man-fur just asked him to move so he and his fur-clad wife/girlfriend could get to their seats. If they really cared, they'd loan the kid their spare muff. Meanwhile, the 2 points puts the Bears three safeties down.
Houston will get a free kick from the 20. McQuarters takes the kick at the 40 and returns it to the Bears 49.
On the board, "dale goter" wants to know if we need the Vikings to win or lose today against the Lions. A loss would help. It might be easier for the Bears to win the NFC North than the wild card.
The Bears run for 1 and then two straight incompletions, including another drop by Terrell. The pass was low, but he's got to make that play. Maynard punts.
Adam: Does Terrell have more drops than catches this season? He may need to go to warm weather. Georgia-raised Dez White always said he didn't like the cold and look at him now. Of course, Terrell played in Ann Arbor, so maybe not.
Jonathan Wells is on for Domanick Davis, and from the 10, he gets 4 yards. Here's a run and they lose the 4 yards they just gained. Carr is forced out of the pocket yet again and he's in the end zone, but this time he runs and goes out at the 4. Stanley punts from the end zone and R.W. calls a fair catch at the Texans 34.
They have to take advantage here. Jones gets 3 and then is hit in the backfield and loses 3 and that's the quarter.
Fourth quarter
On third-and-10, Chad completes to Terrell, but he's going to be 2 yards short at the 26. Edinger comes on and just barely makes the 43-yard FG. Baseball score.
Texans 7, Bears 5
Gaffney drops the kick at the 15, picks it up, and brings it back to the 21. Carr looks for Johnson and it's tipped by Mike Green. Davis rushed and will get 3. Let's see if they can get to Carr here. Not quite. Carr has all day and finds Gaffney past Azumah and it's a huge gain...all the way to the Bears 7. A 69-yard gain there at the worst time--again. Davis gets nothing. On second-and-goal, Carr finds Davis and he gets to the 3. Timeout Houston with 11:45 to go. Carr rolls out and the pass is off the hands of Gaffney in the end zone. Whew. Kris Brown makes the FG with a line drive and no spin.
Texans 10, Bears 5
Bears start at the 35 and Jones catches a screen, but he loses 2. Chad goes deep for Berrian and it's underthrown badly and almost picked off. Now Hutchinson is rushed and sacked, but Houston is called for a 5-yard facemask penalty, so they'll replay the down from the 38.
Adam: Joe from Slingerlands, N.Y., wants to know what a muff is. It's something often worn by NFL quarterbacks and punters to keep your hands warm.
Hutchinson looks to the sideline and his wobbly pass is too high. Punt.
Adam: Qasim Mitchell got the hook again, but Marc Colombo's not faring much better at left tackle.
Houston is at their own 43 after the kick. Davis gains 3. Carr's pass attempt is tipped by Azumah and Green just missed the INT. Carr completes to Gaffney and that'll be a first at the Bears 46. They just made it. Carr is slow getting up. Davis carries and the Bears are offsides. Now Davis rushes and gets the first at the 34. Carr has his pass tipped with 7:30 left. Davis will get a couple and a big play is upcoming with the Texans close to field goal range.
Adam: They just announced there were 17,763 no-shows today.
Can you blame them?
Adam: That's an average crowd for the White Sox.
Carr tries for Bradford, but the pass is thrown out of bounds near the 5. Houston lines up to punt after taking a delay of game. The Bears declined the penalty and there's a timeout on the field. The Texans change their mind and will go for it, and Carr completes to Bradford for a first at the 25. Huge.
Adam: What's up with that? The Texans take a delay penalty, call timeout and the Bears keep their punt team on the field, so the Texans go for it and make it.
Davis carries for 4 and then 3. On the naked bootleg, Carr will run and he'll make the first easily at the 12. Only 4:28 left. Davis goes up the middle and finds daylight and the end zone and this one's over. PAT is good.
Texans 17, Bears 5
At least the Bulls are starting to win some games.
Bears will start at the 36. Chad throws to Wade and he makes the grab, finds running room, and runs to the Houston 38. But Terrell was called for a penalty, so the ball's at the Bears 45. On the next play, the Bears are called for holding. A short toss to Jones gets a couple. Hutchinson finds Jones again for 6 more. Chad looks for Terrell down the sideline and Terrell is drilled and that's an unsportsmanslike call against Houston. He was out of bounds when he was hit helmet-to-helmet. Bears will be at the Texans 31. Hutchinson is sacked and he fumbles and Charlie Anderson picks it up and will have a gimmie touchdown. he goes untouched the other way for the score.
Texans 24, Bears 5
Well, it's time to look ahead to the draft and the 2005 season. Hutchinson finds Gage (where's he been?) to the Texans 38. Houston is then called for a 5-yard penalty and we're finally at the two-minute warning. Chad goes to pass and drops the ball, but he picks it up for a loss of 3. On the next play, Hutchinson throws incomplete, but the Texans are called for roughing the QB. From the 20, Chad avoids the blitz, but he throws incomplete. This will be the fewest points the Texans have ever allowed in their three years in the league. After two more incompletes, Jones runs on fourth down and comes up short and the Texans will take a few knees and that's it.
Merry Christmas everybody!
Final: Texans 24, Bears 5
