From DocWiki
Many of the finest developers and engineering minds have been working on IPv6 since the early 1990s. Hundreds of RFCs have been written and have detailed some major areas, including expanded addressing, simplified header format, flow labeling, authentication, and privacy. Expanded addressing moves us from 32-bit address to a 128-bit addressing method. It also provides newer unicast and addressing methods, injects hexadecimal into the IP address, and moves from using "." to using ":" as delimiters.
This IP Version 6 information is intended for network professionals with good IP version 4 (IPv4) networking skills and knowledge. It is ideal for anyone, including account managers and system engineers, who is required to analyze IPv6 network requirements and develop strategies for the deployment of IPv6 networks. In addition to the content listed in the Resources and References section, you can also find information on IPv6 implementation details including the roadmap, software configuration, and Statement of Direction at http://www.cisco.com/go/ipv6.
Figure: IPv6 Packet Header Format shows the IPv6 packet header format.
Figure: IPv6 Packet Header Format
Description of IPv6 Packet Header
The simplified header is 40 bits long and the format consists of Version, Class, Flow Label, Payload Length, Next Header, Hop Limit, Source Address, Destination Address, Data, and Payload fields.
Hexadecimal "Hex"
At its simplest, hex numbers are base 16. Decimal is base 10, counting from 0 to 9, as we do in decimal, and then adding a column to make 10. Counting in hex goes from 0 to F before adding a column.
The characters A through F represent the decimal values of 10 through 15, as illustrated in Figure: Hex Characters A Through F Represent the Numbers 10 Through 15.
Figure: Hex Characters A Through F Represent the Numbers 10 Through 15
Counting in hex goes as follows: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 1F 20 21 and up, as far as you want to go.
Addressing Description
Let's look at an example of IPv6 address. The address is an eight-part hex address separated by colons (:). Each part n can equal a 16-bit number and is eight parts long, providing a 128-bit address length (16 * 8 = 128),
Addresses are n:n:n:n:n:n:n:n n = 4 digit hexadecimal integer, 16 * 8 = 128 address.
1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A Unicast address
FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:101 Multicast address
Addressing Methods
Included in IPv6 are a number of methods:
- Unicast
- Multicast
- Anycast
Note that there is no explicit notion of "broadcast" in IPv6.
Unicast is a communication between a single host and a single receiver. Packets sent to a unicast address are delivered to the interface identified by that address, as seen in Figure: Unicast Sends Packets to a Specified Interface.
Figure: Unicast Sends Packets to a Specified Interface
Multicast is communication between a single host and multiple receivers. Packets are sent to all interfaces identified by that address, as seen in Figure: Multicast Sends Packets to a Subnet, and Defined Devices Listen for Multicast Packets.
Figure: Multicast Sends Packets to a Subnet, and Defined Devices Listen for Multicast Packets
Packets sent to an anycast address or list of addresses are delivered to the nearest interface identified by that address. Anycast is a communication between a single sender and a list of addresses, as shown in Figure: Anycast Sends Packets to Specified Interface List and Can Contain End Nodes and Routers.
Figure: Anycast Sends Packets to Specified Interface List and Can Contain End Nodes and Routers
Some of the benefits of IPv6 seem obvious: greater addressing space, built-in QoS, and better routing performance and services. However, a number of barriers must be overcome before the implementation of IPv6. The biggest question for most of us will be what the business need is for moving from current IPv4 to IPv6. The killer app has not appeared yet, but it may be closer than we think. The second consideration is the cost-it may not have much to do with hardware replacement cost. All the larger routers have upgradable OSs IOS; the only necessity is the commitment to upgrading IOS. More likely to do with training and support of minor IP devices such as printers and network faxes, they will support the new address space. IPv6 has schemes to support old and new, however, so this may not even be a barrier. The last issue to consider is training: This will need to happen sooner or later because we all need to start thinking about 128-bit addressing based on MAC addresses in HEX. This involves all new ways of addressing and will be an uncomfortable change for many people.
This conclusion may seem negative, but the greater good will overpower all the up-front issues. The issue is not whether you will have to move to IPv6, but when! We all need IPv6; the increased address space is needed for the growth of IP appliances that we are starting to hear about weekly. IP-ready cars are already shipping today. This requires mobility, which is addressed in IPv6.
Of course, a number of very important features have not been discussed in this section, including QoS, mobile IP, autoconfiguration, and security. All these areas are extremely important, and until IPv6 is finished, you should keep referring to the IETF Web site for the most current information. Several new books on IPv6 also are starting to show up on bookstore shelves and should provide the deeper technical detail on address headers and full packet details.
Review Questions
Q - What is the main reason for IPv6 being developed?
A - The main issue surrounding IPv6 is addressing, or the lack of addressing. Many people believe that we are nearly out of the four billion addresses available in IPv4. IPv6 could be the solution to many problems, but IPv6 is still not fully developed and is not yet a standard.
Q - How many bits does the new expanded addressing provide?
A - The expanded addressing moves us from 32-bit address to a 128-bit addressing method.
Q - What other benefits does expanded addressing provide?
A - It provides newer unicast and addressing methods. Expanded addressing also injects hexadecimal into the IP address and moves from using . to using : as delimiters.
Q - What are the new addressing methods included in IPv6?
A - Unicast, multicast, and anycast.
Q - What is unicast?
A - Unicast is a communication between a single host and a single receiver.
Q - What is multicast?
A - Multicast is communication between a single host and multiple receivers.
Q - What is anycast?
A - Anycast is a communication between a single sender and a list of addresses.

Why the Affordable Care Act is Not Settled Law
Gerard N. Magliocca
Here is my op-ed in the Washington Post.
You could at least point out that an argument that a law is illegitimate because legislative chicanery allowed it to be enacted by simple majority rule is asinine.
"[I]t is not illegitimate for Republicans to use every lawful means at their disposal to stand in its way" is too dodgy. One can use every legitimate and lawful means to reverse any policy one opposes, no matter how "settled" it has been. `Separate but equal' was pretty well settled, scarcely challenged until Shelley v. Kraemer. Legitimate means then included civil disobedience since the Jim Crow laws were in such blatant disregard of the plain meaning of the 14th Amendment and the duty to guarantee equal protection - a failure which the settled doctrine of the United States Supreme Court long accommodated. Even post-war in Sweatt v. Painter the Court merely said that the `equal' node of `separate but equal' should be heeded.
A more appropriate question for this moment is `Is it responsible to disrupt normal non-germane government operations as a wedge to gain an agreement to de facto amend or repeal a law that reforms the health insurance system and expands federal subsidies for those whose income is so low that the private market cannot accommodate them?'
To that I suggest the answer is NO - even if you believe that such subsidies and intervention in the health care market are bad policy.
Agreed, at one time "separate but equal" was as settled as law gets, and yet, here we are. The concept of "settled law" is of no value.
And to that, the answer is yes, it is perfectly appropriate to use such tactics to abolish a law which is destroying the health care financing system, and having numerous other horrible effects advocates gloss over.
Brett says:
"And to that, the answer is yes, it is perfectly appropriate to use such tactics to abolish a law which is destroying the health care financing system, and having numerous other horrible effects advocates gloss over."
Perhaps Brett can detail: (1) exactly how Obamacare is destoying the health care financing system [insurance industry] and (2) the other horrible effects advocates gloss over. Just saying doesn't make it so.
Gerard is in the process of hyping his recently published book with an Op-Ed on what may be his next book. At Concurring Opinions Gerard frequently comes up with streams of consciousness posts on possible book subjects he may be considering, hoping - sometimes beyond hope - that one sticks - his latest being on what is "settled law," the subject of his Op-Ed. As I recall, there wasn't much sticking on his posts on Concurring Opinions on just what is settled law. Justice Sutherland is another recent recurring subject of Gerard's posts at Concurring Opinions that may prompt a future Op-Ed as Gerard pumps his new book on John Bingham. Realizing how busy it must be for a tenured constitutional law professor just preparing for and teaching students, Gerard's multi-tasking is amazing. Whether or not Obamacare is settled or unsettled, maybe Gerard needs a Zantac - presumably available under Obamacare. {I am aware that Zantac is available over the counter and doesn't work on sarcasm.]
More than half of Americans are opposed. But even more critically, congressional Republicans have withheld their stamp of approval.
I would switch the emphasis here.
The reason both Roe and Obaamcare are unsettled is because they do not have majority to supermajority support of the voters.
The Republicans are responding to their constituents. After getting shellacked in the 2008 election, large swaths of congressional Republicans were ready to join or simply stand aside while the Democrats enacted Obamacare. What changed the GOP position was the rise of the Tea Party rebellion raising hell at town hall meetings and eventually by assembling hundreds of thousands outside the capital.
Once again, there are large swaths of congressional Republicans ready to fund the President's preferred government. The GOP solidarity in demanding changes is born of fear of constituents that have been melting down their phones and servers demanding they do what they were elected to do.
The anti-abortion, civil rights and anti-slavery movements similarly challenged the unsettled laws of their days.
If the people do not care, their elected representatives will take the path of least political resistance.
The Daily Beastinadvertently reported on the dilemma faced by a GOP establishment caught between its power brokers and its voters during the Obamacare wars.
Imagine that! The voters are actually driving the train in one of our political parties for once in our democratic republic.

Too bad for you clowns that it's the minority of voters who are in favor of this stupidity.
Hell, not even a majority of Republicans approve of this stupidity.
"Do you approve or disapprove of partially shutting down the government over differences about the 2010 health care law?"
Approve Disapprove Unsure/
No answer
% % %
25 72 3
48 49 3

The GOP did not shut down the government and its voters are blaming the other side.
Get past the CBS spin and go to the actual data.
Blankshot, I posted actual polling data. Not even a majority of Republicans are happy with what you dumbfucks have done.
Did you even read that article? It destroys you.
Interesting. Particularly the question about compromise: 61 percent of DEMOCRATS think the President and Democrats should compromise, rather than sticking to their guns.
Once again, bypass the CBS Democrat media spin, go straight to the data and think for yourself.
As I predicted, Republicans and Democrats are blaming the other party and the Indis are blaming both.
The Democrat position is far worse than in 1995 after which the voters reelected the GOP Congress and Clinton then signed of on the GOP balanced budget plan.
The GOP cannot politically lose this standoff so long as they continue to do what their voters demand.
Blankshot, read the polling numbers for blame. They don't support the idiocy you are posting in here.
44% blame Republicans
35% blame Democrats
Only in some loony alternative universe is that good news for you.
The only folks the GOP needs to be concerned with are the voters who elect them.
No one else matters politically.
Yes, assuming you plan to never control the Senate or White House again those are really great poll numbers for you.
If (unlike in 2012) the voters show up in the majority of the House districts held by the GOP, the Republicans will take the Senate in 2014 and the White House in 2016.
Of course, those voters will not show up if the GOP is not working on their behalf.
Democrats have already compromised by cutting spending as part of the CR that was sent back to the House.
Giving in to extortionists/jihadis is no way of governing. Using the budget process to get what you couldn't achieve legislatively, electorally or legally makes the US ungovernable.
Agreeing to continue last year's sequester slowdown of the increase in federal spending is not a spending cut.
Congress has not actually cut spending since Eisenhower.
Only in the mind of an extortionist/economic terrorist can the Democrats saying "I'd prefer to have spending at $X, but I'll agree to spending at $Y" (where X > Y) not be considered compromise. But then again the ability to lie to oneself such that this is a "Democrat shutdown" is at the key feature of the extortionist's/terrorist's nihilistic world view.
Unknown appears not to be aware of the special definition of "compromise" here wherein Dems are trying to get everything they want unless they agree to "x" -- "x" being an open variable.
The wingnut version of compromise is "give us everything we want and we won't blow up the economy until we want something else."
"You could at least point out that an argument that a law is illegitimate because legislative chicanery allowed it to be enacted by simple majority rule is asinine."
And it wasn't even a 'simple majority'; it got 60% of the Senate.
then included civil disobedience since the Jim Crow laws were in such blatant disregard of the plain meaning of the 14th Amendment and the duty to guarantee equal protection - a failure which the settled doctrine of the United States Supreme Court long accommodated. Even post-war in Sweatt v. Painter the Court merely said that the `equal' node of `separate but equal' should be heeded. Cheap LOL Boosting lol欧服代练 Buy LOL BoostingPost a Comment

Fat Grafting Procedure
As we grow older our face become more and more affected by the sun, gravity and use of expression muscles (chewing, smiling, etc). Deep tissues loose the ability to maintain a young look and expression marks appear on our faces. Fat grafting can help you fill the defects and regain younger appearance. It can be used to fill expression folds, sunken checks, scars and lips. This procedure is not sufficient to treat deep defects like multiple grooves around the mouse of heavy smokers. It can be done as isolated treatment or as a combination with laser, facelift and botox.
During the procedure the surgeon performs a liposuction from various body parts like thighs, tummy and buttocks and then injects the fat into selected areas needs to be filled. After disinfection of the donor and recipient areas, they are being sedated using local anesthetics. Sedative drugs also can be used, if so you may need an escort to avoid driving under their influence. For liposuction the surgeon uses wide needle or canola. After a short treatment the fat is injected to the desired site. The recipient area is usually bandaged. In order to fill sunken chicks often over filling is required because of absorption process of some of the fat injected. This can make your face appear over swollen immediately after the operation.
If the area treated is extensive it is advisable to restrain from activities after the treatment. Although most of the patients can go back to their daily activities right away. There might be redness, swelling and small hemorrhages around both the donor and the recipient sites. The severity of those symptoms usually depends on the magnitude of the procedure. It is advisable to avoid sun exposure until the above disappear (after approximately 48 hours). There is no limitation to use make-up. The swelling can last for weeks especially if the area is large. Every operation has its ricks. The fat being taken from the patient`s body doesn`t cause allergic responses. There is a small chance of infection.
You must remember that the effect of the injection is only temporary. Due to their biological nature the injected materials disassemble by the body. The duration of the effect depends on genetics, age, skin quality, life style and the area being filled. There are selected cases where the results lasted for a year, but in most cases half of the effect disappears after 3-6 month.

reduction of $200,000, but with estimated required additional costs
well over $1 million for next year. Once again the school division will

Watch Lena Dunham's First Time' Endorsement for Pres. Obama
Lena Dunham, the star and creator of HBO's 'Girls,' has decided to share the details of a very private moment in her life, with a funny (and timely) twist.
College is a place where the masses enter as immature, feeble-minded children, hoping to exit four years later as still-immature, somewhat less feeble-minded adults.
And undoubtedly, over the course of their education, those students will experience myriad "firsts" they never saw coming — some good. and some bad. Among many of those firsts, Dunham has some powerful words for one in particular: voting season.
Dunham's video (a stealth endorsement for President Barack Obama) humorously spins the the pressures of losing ones' virginity to the right guy by putting in the successes of the current POTUS. And while many have come out against the star's comments — the style as well as the content —the truth is it's the young voters who understand it fully.
The upcoming election is said to be the most important in one in recent years, with many left undecided as to which way they will lean. Perhaps putting the idea into terms young people can relate with, as Dunham did, wasn't the worst idea. Anyhow, maybe she's right... perhaps you do want to do it with the guy who brought the troops out of Iraq.
Either way, come November 8th, be sure to get up and cast your vote!

The tablet market is quickly dividing into two camps: those competing against the iPad on the high end, and budget-minded products that compete with the Amazon Kindle Fire.
Priced as low as $199, the Lenovo IdeaPad A1 tablet clearly falls in the latter category. In fact, the spec sheet on this 7-inch tablet reads like the antidote to every complaint against the Kindle Fire. Lenovo's tablet packs more storage, more features, and offers a larger app store than any other tablet we've seen at this price.
So, is the Lenovo A1 the new king of budget tablets?
The Lenovo A1 looks and feels an awful lot like the original Samsung Galaxy Tab from 2010. The paperback book-size tablet measures just under a half-inch thick and weighs 14 ounces.
Aside from the chimed Lenovo logo staring you in the face at the top of the screen, there's really not much to visually distinguish this tablet from any other 7-inch slate made in the last two years. The back is covered in a glossy black plastic that scuffs at the slightest provocation. Also, the backlit Android navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen only seem to light up after you touch them, somewhat defeating the purpose of lighting them up at all.
Another annoyance with the A1 is that Lenovo has locked the home screen orientation to portrait mode. It's not a big dilemma, but it can be annoying when you exit a landscape-designed app and are forced to reorient the tablet in order to navigate around.
For all of my peeves, Lenovo did make some great design choices on the A1. Just like the Apple iPad, the A1 employs a physical volume rocker and screen orientation lock switch on its left edge. As basic as that might sound, it's a feature you will not find on the Kindle Fire. Another convenience is the microSD memory expansion slot on the bottom edge, alongside the Micro-USB charging port and an integrated speaker.
Features and software
The Lenovo A1 does what the Kindle Fire doesn't. It can shoot pictures and video with its front and rear cameras (meager though they are). It can connect to wireless speakers over Bluetooth. It can find you on a map with its integrated GPS. And after filling the A1 up with all of your music and video files, you can simply buy a microSD card to give yourself more room. In many ways, the Lenovo A1 offers the features of a $200 Android 2.3 smartphone, on a $200 7-inch tablet.

Go to Hennessey and they'll add some serious power to your 2014 Corvette – not that it really needs anymore. Now just how fast will Hennessey make your Corvette? This fast.
They've just posted this Instagram video with one of their Corvettes on the SH-130 Toll Road in Texas where they got a Cadillac up to 220 MPH. They were joined this time by Texas State Trooper's Dodge Challenger SRT8.
No word on just how fast Corvette went, but since Hennessey does a 1,000-horse C7 with twin turbos, you can bet it was at least as fast as the Cadillac run.

Even in a season that has been somewhat disappointing overall, it's always helpful to go out with a win rather than a loss.
Coping with injuries and inexperience this fall, the Chestnut Hill College volleyball team was still able to end on a high note, wrapping up the 2012 campaign last Saturday with a 3-1 win over Bloomfield College in front of a large home crowd. With that outcome, the Griffins fell just short of the 10-win mark overall, at 9-20, while improving their standing within the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference to 5-13.
CHC is a member of the conference's southern division and Bloomfield is in the northern sector (located five miles west of the Giants' and Jets' MetLife Stadium), so the teams do not play a home-away series during the regular season. Last Saturday would be the only meeting between the two clubs, and the Chestnut Hill players could see from the Deacons' season mark (4-16, 3-15 before the match) that this would be a prime opportunity to pick up one last, coveted "W."
Before the 2012 campaign even started, senior middle hitter and team co-captain Cassie Benson suffered a rotator cuff injury that would keep her sidelined for the duration. Honored at Senior Day last weekend along with setter Courtney Gallo, Benson was given a ceremonial starting role against Bloomfield, but after the first set she retired to the bench and donned an ice pack.
Bloomfield scored first in all four sets of the match, starting off with a 3-0 lead in the opening round. A side-out gave the Griffins a point and the serve, and with Gallo putting the ball in play CHC proceeded to a 5-3 advantage, with Benson scoring on a put-back along with way.
The Deacons pulled even at 5-all, then Chestnut Hill moved in front again, 9-6, with a scoring block from Benson and two kills from the team's other co-captain, junior outside hitter Alex DePalma. This time the hosts held onto the advantage, breaking the set open with a lengthy serving string.
With the tally 10-8 following a CHC serving error, the Griffins got a side-out on a hit by freshman Rachel Biro, sending fellow rookie Abby Gruver to the service line. There she remained for seven more points, with Biro adding another kill and a successful block to her stats, while DePalma put down a hit and Bloomfield struggled on a few returns. The Deacons never got back in contention, and fell, 25-13.
In the second set, Chestnut Hill overcame an early 0-4 deficit to move ahead, but the visitors stayed close behind. The Griffins brought up set point at 24-20 when a ball smacked by DePalma went out of bounds off of two Bloomfield blockers, but after that the Deacons dug in to avoid going down 0-2 in the match. They blanked the home team the rest of the way and sealed a 26-24 victory with a kill by their most prolific attacker, senior Da'Cheray Thomas.
The visitors' stubbornness didn't bother Chestnut Hill head coach Kim Feeny, who commented, "It's more fun to be challenged, especially if you're able to respond well to that challenge."
Bloomfield took its customary early lead in set three, going up 3-0 and gaining a 6-2 advantage soon after that. As in the opening set, the Griffins answered with a decisive surge, first securing a side-out with a tip to open space by junior Mary Markowski, then reeling off eight more points with freshman Meghan Chiovitti holding serve.
This streak included kills by Gruver and Biro, and one by sophomore Katie Schock, who would increasingly assert herself at the net in the second half of the match. Bloomfield twice fought back to within one point, at 12-11 and then at 16-15, but the Griffins kept the lead. Kills by Markowski and DePalma helped the home team post six of the last seven points in the set for a 25-17 win and a 2-1 lead overall.
The Deacons only went ahead 2-0 initially in the fourth set, but a little later they were up 6-2. The Griffins crept back into it, finally pulling even at 12-12 thanks to a DePalma projectile. Bloomfield inched ahead again a few times, enjoying its last lead at 18-17 before giving away the tying point with a serve into the net.
Biro belted out the next point, then scored another by stuffing the ball down into the Deacons' front row. After a Bloomfield time-out, the CHC freshman jammed the ball down into the visitors once again, then she combined with DePalma for a block that made it 22-18.
DePalma found the floor by tipping the ball just over a Bloomfield block, then the Deacons popped an errant pass way up in the air and back towards the wall of the gym, bringing up match point for the Griffins.
The visitors' Thomas registered one last point for her squad with her 16th kill of the afternoon, then DePalma closed out the deciding set, 25-19, with her 14th kill. Biro and Schock came away with nine kills apiece and Markowski and Gruver each recorded six.
DePalma also led the winners in digs, with 16, and here she was followed by freshman Deanna Bianchini, with an even dozen. A sophomore transfer, Alyssa Tamsing, posted a team-high 18 assists, while Gallo ended her Chestnut Hill career with 17 assists for the day.
The fact that a lot of the best numbers on the stat sheet belonged to underclassmen bodes well for the future, and at present Feeny plans to add two new hitters, a setter, and a libero to the mix.
"I think there's been gradual growth and maturity on the team overall," the Griffins' skipper said. "The freshmen became comfortable playing at this level; they've gotten used to facing the kind of competition they'll be seeing regularly from now on."

Go up in size.Like all the Clarks brand I find them to run short. So I went up in length on this one and it was great. Funny though, I got this same shoe in the black leather and it seemed bigger than the brown suede. No problem though, I know how to make the minor alteration to the black one so it was not sloppy anymore. Probably the difference in the materials and how they stretch.

US Foreign Policy in the 2nd Obama Administration
McLarty Associates Vice Chairman John D. Negroponte share his insights on the current direction of US Foreign Policy.
23 January 2013 -- As the President of the United States Barack Obama was sworn in on for his 2nd term yesterday, a gathering was held at the Tower Club in Makati to aptly discuss his Foreign Policy strategy and focus for the continuation of his presidency.
A joint lunch hosted by the CPR Foundation, AMCHAM, Asia Society Philippines, and ECCP, John D. Negroponte, Vice Chairman of McLarty Associates, spoke to an audience of about 120 eager to learn what the administration's move will be in terms of foreign policy.
Having been assigned as Ambassador to the Philippines under the Clinton administration in 1993 to 1996, Negroponte expressed how the US is well aware that the "economic and political gravity of the world is now in Asia". He mentioned that if the 1990's can be labeled as the year of the Southeast Asian tigers, this decade can be labeled as the year of the Emerging Markets. He said that "He [the President] is probably more familiar with Asia than other parts of the world.". His involvement in several summits involving ASEAN and East Asia displays the intention to revitalize the relationships with Asian nations.
Audience look on as John D. Negroponte talks on the different aspects of current US Foreign Policy.
He mentioned how the initial foreign policy agenda of President Obama included dealing with their financial crises through a stimulus package, withdrawing forces from Iraq, and complete withdrawal from Afghanistan by 2014. These being part of their mission to embark on an "ambitious" agenda of both counterterrorism and nation building.
On the issue with China, however, Negroponte stated that his observation of the President's attitude towards this matter has been fairly typical. Having served in several administrations, he said that Obama has demonstrated the same attitude as the previous US Presidents have done. Negroponte emphasized the need to focus on the positive issues and use these as a starting point to work with China. US-China relations have always been a staple concern for any US President but he suggested that with the current issues, it is better to just focus on the areas where we can mutually benefit from.
Negroponte spoke about the US-Philippine Society which was just formed during Pres. Aquino's visit to Washington last year. Negroponte, who co-chairs the Society, mentioned of plans to have their second Board meeting while he's here in the country.

Ambassador Negroponte held government positions abroad and in Washington between 1960 and 1997 and again from 2001 to 2008.He has been ambassador to Honduras, Mexico, the Philippines, the United Nations, and Iraq. In Washington, he served twice on the National Security Council staff, first as director for Vietnam in the Nixon Administration and then as deputy national security advisor under President Reagan. He has also held a cabinet level position as the first director of national intelligence under President George W. Bush. His most recent position in government was as deputy secretary of state, where he served as the State Department's chief operating officer.

By Mark Loux, Ohio State University Extension herbicide specialist
The warm and relatively dry weather has many growers chomping at the bit to apply herbicides now, whereas this might have been more likely to occur in several weeks in a more typical spring weather pattern. It probably makes sense to apply burndown herbicides now in many no-till fields based on the size of the weeds that are present.
Vegetation in no-till fields is larger than usual for this time of the year due to the warm weather, and lack of fall herbicide application in all but a few fields. Waiting several weeks to apply herbicides will only result in an even more challenging burndown situation. It can make sense to apply burndown herbicides now even where a field will be tilled later, in fields where there is enough vegetation to interfere with spring seedbed preparation.
This is probably the ideal situation for the use of the higher rates of 2,4-D ester in burndown treatments. We have been encouraging use of the higher rates to improve control of marestail, which is fairly advanced in rosette size in some fields already. A reminder that any 2,4-D ester product can be applied 7 days before planting at rates up to 0.5 pound active ingredient per acre. There are several products that can be applied 15 days before planting at rates up to 1 pound of active ingredient per acre (e.g. Weedone 650, E99, Salvo), but otherwise the higher rates require 30 days.
Treating fields now with the 1-pound rate of 2,4-D ester (with glyphosate or other burndown herbicides), with the intention of planting in two weeks or so, can improve control of larger, older weeds. As we move closer to planting, or in especially weedy fields, the addition of Sharpen to glyphosate/2,4-D mixtures can improve control. The addition of products containing chlorimuron (Canopy/Cloak, Valor XLT, Envive, Authority XL) can also improve burndown of some no-till weeds.
One caution about burndown herbicides, especially in a year when weeds are more numerous and larger than usual. We have previously mentioned the alternatives to glyphosate/2,4-D for burndown of marestail, which include Liberty/metribuzin and glyphosate/Sharpen. While the latter two mixtures are effective for burndown of marestail and a number of other weeds, they can struggle some in a situation where the full complement of large no-till weeds is present (they typically work well in fields that have received a fall herbicide application). Glyphosate/2,4-D still has the lowest cost and most utility across a range of no-till burndown situations, and switching to a mixture that does not include 2,4-D should generally occur only where necessary and where the weed spectrum fits the alternative mixtures. Optimum activity from mixtures that contain Sharpen, Liberty or Gramoxone will occur with spray volumes of at least 15 gallons per acre and the appropriate nozzles.
A primary concern of many recent callers about our current situation is whether it is too early to apply residual herbicides. They are undoubtedly aware that applying residual herbicides too early can reduce their effectiveness in late May and early June when the later flushes of marestail and waterhemp are emerging. Applying residual herbicides this early does introduce an element of variability in their activity later in spring, but this depends somewhat on the progress of soybean planting and crop development. The ideal scenario would be that soybeans are planted within the next couple of weeks and conditions are favorable for rapid soybean development and formation of a crop canopy. As a result, the crop is capable of providing control when the residual herbicide activity runs out. The risk of applying this early is that subsequent wet and/or cold weather will prevent timely soybean planting, which ultimately stretches out the time until crop canopy development. In this situation, we are likely to see breaks in residual herbicide activity prior to crop canopy, but the control that does occur is certainly much better than not using residual herbicides at all. It's a little difficult to predict late-season control of marestail, and we sometimes observe effective residual marestail control regardless of the timing of the residual herbicide application. Here are a couple of suggestions relative to the early application of residual herbicides:
1. Increase residual herbicide rates. We have been suggesting increasing residual herbicide rates above the fairly low "Roundup Ready" rates to improve residual marestail control, and this is especially relevant for early application. It's probably feasible to increase rates by 20% to 30% above the low rates for many residual products, or use the higher rates within the rate range for a given soil type (either way, do not exceed the maximum rate for the soil type).
2. Split the residual herbicide. Apply some residual herbicide now with the burndown treatment and the rest when the crop is finally planted. The advantage of this approach is that it places some of the residual closer to the time of late-spring weed emergence, and also compensates for late soybean planting. Where soybean planting is delayed, application of the 2nd half of the residual herbicide can also be delayed, and applied when it is most needed.
There are various ways to split the residual herbicide, but something as basic as half the total amount applied early followed by the rest at planting would work. Or mix up the residual herbicides, applying one type of residual early and switching to another later. For products that are relatively short-lived in soil, such as Valor, Authority and metribuzin, the majority of the residual is best applied close to the time of planting.

Military leaders say Congress must stop sequester
WASHINGTON (AP) — The billions of dollars in defense budget cuts scheduled to begin at the end of the week will have a swift and severe impact on military readiness and Congress needs to take fast action to stop them, members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Tuesday in an 11th hour bid to keep the reductions from going into effect.
Testifying before the House Appropriations defense subcommittee, the five uniformed leaders of the military branches described how national security would be put at risk if they are forced to make deep decreases in spending for personnel, training, and equipment modernization programs.
Their appearance marks the fourth time in the last three weeks that top Pentagon's leaders have testified before a congressional oversight committee about how the country's fiscal outlook affects the armed forces. Their warnings of a looming readiness crisis haven't changed, but the pending deadline has made them more urgent.
"If we do not have the resources to train and equip the force, our young men and women will pay the price, potentially with their lives," said Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff.
Despite the dire predictions, many of the cuts to hit the Defense Department and other federal agencies would come in later years and could be partially offset by cuts in programs that are wasteful or behind schedule. Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., criticized Defense Department officials earlier this month for "adding drama" to the budget debate by publicly highlighting the cuts to the readiness accounts. Hunter, a former Marine who served two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, is a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
The automatic cuts, known as a sequester in Washington speak, are scheduled to begin on March 1 and are the result of Congress' failure to trim the deficit by $1.2 trillion over a decade. The Pentagon faces a $46 billion budget reduction through the end of September, and additional cuts would come in future years as long as the sequester remains in effect. The military also has to absorb a $487 billion reduction in defense spending over the next 10 years mandated by the Budget Control Act passed in 2011.
The military's fiscal challenges are further complicated by the lack of a budget for the current fiscal year, according to defense officials. Congress hasn't approved one. Instead, lawmakers have been passing bills called continuing resolutions, which keep spending levels at last year's rates. That means the Pentagon is operating on less money than planned, compounding the financial problem facing the armed forces.
The main problem with the sequester is not the size of the cuts to the defense budget, but rather the across-the-board way they are administered, according to Todd Harrison of the nonpartisan Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments in Washington.
The military has very little flexibility under the law to make smart spending reductions, he said. "High-priority, successful programs must be cut by the same percentage as wasteful, redundant, and low-priority programs," Harrison said.
Yet even with the sequester, the Pentagon will still maintain an annual budget, adjusted for inflation, of well over $500 billion a year for the rest of the decade. That's a modest reduction when compared to the previous drawdowns in defense spending that came after the wars in Korea and Vietnam and the Cold War, Harrison said.
Gen. James Amos, the Marine Corps commandant, told the defense subcommittee that the sequester combined with the lack of a 2013 defense budget will have a "devastating impact" on military readiness and create "unacceptable levels of risk" to the U.S. national security strategy.
Amos said America's allies and enemies are watching to determine whether the country remains able to meet its commitments overseas. "Sequestration viewed solely as a budget issue would be a grave mistake," he said.
Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force chief of staff, said the sequester and the failure to pass a 2013 budget will "combine to render us unable to continue our current and expected level of operations."
The Pentagon has previously announced that it is cutting the U.S. aircraft carrier presence in the Persian Gulf region from two carriers to one, and Adm. Jonathan Greenert highlighted that move as one of the most significant effects of the sequester.
Greenert, the chief of naval operations, also said that if a 2013 budget isn't passed, the Navy will have to stop the refueling overhauls to two other carriers - the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Theodore Roosevelt - and delay the construction of other ships.

Major League Soccer Abusing The DMCA To Censor Controversial Clip Of Player Misconduct
from the copyfraud dept
As Levy notes, the controversy around what happened resulted in a widespread discussion among fans about the incident, including comparisons to the recent controversy over racist statements by fans in the UK. It also resulted in a public apology from Clark. And yet, still, MLS took down the video.
Levy reached out to the guy who posted the video and sent a letter on his behalf, pointing out that MLS clearly broke the law in not considering fair use before issuing the takedown. The letter lays out why the 20-second video (from a 2-hour match) was clearly, without a doubt, fair use, and how the takedown violates the clear language of the DMCA. He notes that the guy who uploaded the video is a big MLS fan (as is Levy), and they don't want to burden MLS with a lawsuit, but would like MLS to take the following steps:
- Explain how it made the decision to issue a DMCA takedown notice to YouTube.
- Promptly inform YouTube that it is withdrawing its takedown notice.
- Express regret to Mr. Vega for the takedown notice.
- Put procedures into place to ensure that fair use receives full consideration before any takedown notice is issued.
- Disclose publicly both what procedures have been adopted, and what standards MLS is providing to its representatives to ensure that they give proper consideration to fair use before issuing takedown notices in the future.

Feel free to move the above as you wish...
That's the whole morale of it all Jesse in a nutshell (and my point in the first place)... Life itself is far from perfect. I think that to trivialize something as minute as toys is just well...
I think I did mention that I do respect people's opinions... though people's constant negativity is a whole other thing... Again it's your choice and opinion... and it's also mine to comment on them.You know how us "easily riled up" folk can get...
You also have to respect my opinions Jesse as I do yours... Is that correct Jesse?
Just as I think my opinion is "the only" from a lot of what you haven written you feel the same about yours.
As I have said elsewhere Jesse let's skip the melodrama... and theatrics...
The litigious society that has been created has made any form of criticism be it constructive or otherwise... slander, libel, etc... Heaven forbid anyone dare step on anyone's toes in the times...
OK, Jesse since that seemed to touch a sore spot... forgive me.
There is at the very least one mutual feeling we then share Jesse.If there is some other insinuation hidden amongst this well... You're not telling me something I don't know. Difference is I can stare that monster in the face because I know he exists...
I guess in the end I'm just a sheep because in a year of 40+ figures I can find only a handful that are not really needed in the line IMHO.
Or maybe I know they are just toys... Nothing more... Nothing less... Removable objects... at the end of the day.
This is just an addendum to the thread that is locked for whatever reason.
It sure is. It does bear out Jesse's point that the license in effect is mostly paid for, and the cost of it has been reduced going forward into the future.
QuoteI personally think that this is an extremely unfair comparison. Just from a business model standpoint, Hasbro and these other companies are completely different animals.First, licensing. Star Wars is a license that is paid from Hasbro to Lucasfilm Ltd. So right off the bat, Hasbro is operating at a loss. The SW license cost them plenty, including a 10% stake in the company that George Lucas now owns. Differences in companies doesn't necessarily make an unfair playing field though Nick. That's a tad shortsighted. So we're to assume that Hasbro's licensing fee means they're in a weaker financial situation right off the bat when compared to a company like 21st Century Toys, BBI, or Dragon?Come on now... We're talking about a public corporation, muliti-national, and with a capital reserve that makes the small private companies like Dragon, BBI, and 21st look like a mom & pop general store up against Wall-Mart.Licensing is not the big crutch everyone claims it to be...Tack onto that the fact other companies DO pay licensing fees too (Though smaller), and it's hard to say Hasbro's licensing issues are a solid excuse as to any shortcomings within the Star Wars brand.I will agree with you that we're comparing 2 very different company styles, but I can't help but laugh when anyone gives the "unfair advantage" to the smaller private companies who struggle financially. Hasbro has a distinct advantage as a large corporation that helps negate licensing as a real issue (If we're doing comparisons here).
I personally think that this is an extremely unfair comparison. Just from a business model standpoint, Hasbro and these other companies are completely different animals.First, licensing. Star Wars is a license that is paid from Hasbro to Lucasfilm Ltd. So right off the bat, Hasbro is operating at a loss. The SW license cost them plenty, including a 10% stake in the company that George Lucas now owns.
LFL's personal approval process can be compared to anything within any other company as well. For 21st Century, their process relies on the strictest historical accuracy in deco or details... For Dragon, their approval process is reported to take up to 20 different tries at a single figure before the heads of Dragon say "OK, now it's ready for production". LFL's maybe strict, but let's face it... Some of what we've seen isn't exactly amazing in accuracy sometimes so how strict can their approval process really be? They stamp it as "OK, you didn't cross our guidelines" likely and they Hasbro starts cranking it out. Star Wars, by its very nature, is going to have more leeway in that regard. It's fiction, and as such some things can be compromised. The companies working on military product tend not to have that luxury.
QuoteThe fact is, the small companies like BBi, Dragon, 21st Century, etc don't have anywhere near the cost factor. Let's face facts: it's far cheaper for these companies to do business than it is for Hasbro. As a result, they can offer a somewhat superiro product at about the same price points.No, there's no "fact" to that at all. Once again, you negate the fact that these are dramatically smaller companies with much higher production costs than Hasbro due to capital restraints. You don't recognize their own licensing fees, and the fact that they're working under the same pressures and overhead that Hasbro is, and doing it from a much smaller company's standpoint.To say they're able to put out product cheaper than Hasbro is simply misinformation... Some of these companies, even with very high sales, are struggling because their profit must be turned right back into the company for its own growth. 21st Century continuously makes profit but has financial issues because their overhead bogs the company down, even with good sales. So they're somehow still able to make things cheaper than Hasbro does? That doesn't really make any sense unless you're looking at it black & white in that Star Wars is just a huge license and 21st's brands aren't. Not a fair analysis by any stretch, but then you'd be correct I guess.

QuoteRegarding GI Joe: GI Joe is able to make more money than Star Wars because Hasbro owns all the rights to GI Joe. As a result, they don't have to pay any licensing fees, and has free reign over this property. A very different business model.Actually it's the same business model since it's Hasbro producing a toy line (Even same markets, trying to balance between older and younger/newer collectors). It has a distinct overhead I'm sure, with a lot of similarities too, but you're right there's no cost for licensing...Of course, does licensing suddenly become the key overhead cost t hough? No, so I don't think one rather small overhead variance is what makes G.I. Joe more profitable than Star Wars.
Regarding GI Joe: GI Joe is able to make more money than Star Wars because Hasbro owns all the rights to GI Joe. As a result, they don't have to pay any licensing fees, and has free reign over this property. A very different business model.
I never said that other companies weren't paying licensing fees. But, when the Star Wars license ticks in at half a billions dollars and 10% ownership in your company, that's a hefty cost. The other licensing fees that the companies you're talking about pale in comparison.
You're leaving out a lot of other steps. First Hasbro has to approve something at the departmental level. Next, they no doubt have a corporate safety standards department that it has to go through. These are after all approved for children what, ages 5 and up? THEN, it proceeds to LFL. Lucasfilm has been renowned for being sticklers for what will and will not go out. This delays the process, and in the long run costs more money.
The fact is that the bottom line is the core fact. Are the smaller companies having a harder time getting by? Yes. They have a smaller market share. They're fundamentally smaller companies. They have higher production costs because they can't manufacture in the quantity level that Hasbro does at a comparable expense level. But, the core issue once again is the licensing. Are any of these other companies able or willing to shell out the kind of capital needed to produce a viable line? Are they able to stick it out to see an eventual profit? Probably not.
GI Joe is an intellectual property that is wholly owned by Hasbro. As a result, Hasbro does not have to factor in licensing payments in their costs. Hasbro owns all the rights to GI Joe. They're therefore able to spend more money on R&D, manufacturing, marketing and other costs because there isn't the looming spector of licensing. And if they play smart businessmen in GI Joe and keep their costs down, they can get a much higher profit margin out of the GI Joe line because they have a dramatically lower overhead.
And I have to restate, I and just about any other business person would agree that half a billions dollars is not a small overhead variance.
BUT when I need a therapist Jesse I'll get one...In this hobby I have made a few very good friends...That is good enough for me. I need not be a star and loved by all. That was never my intention.See like I said I can stare that monster down. I'm much more in tune w/ the realization of me not making the world like/love me... Just don't try to psychoanalyze me thank you very much.
I guess people also can not see why we are getting such items as the TRU multipacks... Those are money makers for Hasbro any way you slice and dice it. The molds are all made therefore at this point those sets equal a pure cash cow.
Regardless of what one thinks this is a tough line for Hasbro and YES LF is not that easy on their approvals. Some pieces may get brought back to them three times before they are ok to run w/...I have a good friend that worked at LF and told me about some of how they work...
As I mentioned over head for a company like Hasbro is much bigger than any of the smaller companies. Hasbro has different divisions around the world...To me it's apples and oranges...
So don't take it so much as me trying to analyze you, but me trying to make sure the warnings are clear as to how we operate here.
Hopefully no one makes me regret the decision to re-open this topic...

ANAHEIM – Authorities responded to a multiple-car crash on the westbound 91 freeway early Friday that caused a delay of traffic for about 45 minutes.
The crash involved a silver Ford F-150 and a red sedan. It happened just west of East Street around 7:35 a.m., according to a CHP report.
Later CHP reports show a silver Volkswagen was also involved in the collision.
Anaheim firefighters blocked all lanes on the freeway to tow the vehicles out of traffic lanes to the right shoulder, officials said.
A SigAlert was declared at 7:53 a.m., but removed at 8:02 a.m.
No injuries were reported as a result of the accident.

Fall Winter 2013 Fashion Trends: Analysts weigh in on styles, clothes
With so many messages being broadcast from the runways at fashion weeks in New York and Europe, it can be hard to translate the thousands of outfits into coherent statements that will help us all as we shop when the next season's clothes arrive in stores. That's the job of analysts, fashion directors and retailers, and we checked in with a few to see what they thought of New York Fashion Week.
First up is Sharon Graubard of Stylesight, a company which covers the shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris like an army going into battle. Graubard sends out the troops and sends intelligent runway "flashes" on what's trending. Some of her observations on New York, which she shared with me during a phone interview earlier this week, included:
"One trend I feel strongly about is the big coat. I think it is going to be a key item for fall. The fashion-forward (customer) will do jumbo over jumbo, but most women will wear it with a slim pant or skirt and high boots."

Santa Ana (El Salvador)
Santa Ana is the second largest city of El Salvador and a very important one in terms of agriculture, coffee production(coffee is in all the stores) and more. Santa Ana has a mall, restaurants, good paved roads and nice people you can talk to. It also has some of the best architecture in El Salvador, including the Cathedral of Santa Ana, a marvel of neo-gothic architecture, the Teatro de Santa Ana, beautifully decorated theatre of the early 1900's; and the Palacio Municipal, or in Spanish, the Municipal Palace, in front of the main plaza with giant palm trees shooting out from its courtyards.
Get in
You can enter the city through the Pan-American Highway, which also has an exit leading towards the mall and the city center. Many buses have stops in Santa Ana, and there is a large bus terminal in the city. Also, taxis can take you there from San Salvador or the Airport. Also, people in El Salvador are simply amazing!
Most buses headed towards San Salvador from Guatemala City stop along 25 Calle Poniente in Santa Ana. Be sure to let the conductor know you want to stop in Santa Ana. Entering from Guatemala may be to your advantage, because tourists from the United States rarely pay the $10 for a tourist card. Four bus lines headed from Guatemala stop through Santa Ana on their way to San Salvador : Tica, Galgos, Melva, and Pezzarossi.
A Metrocentro Mall is located in Santa Ana. The mall here has department stores such as Siman. Also there are many shops and a cinema in the two floors that are in the mall.
You can also buy things in the city center such as handcrafted goods, electronics, furniture, and many more items found in stores across the city. There are also car dealerships here, but tourists don't really come to Santa Ana to buy cars.
Santa Ana has many places to eat. Many of the chain restaurants such as Pollo Campero, Nash, Biggest, Burger King, McDonald's, Subway, Pizza Hut, and Mr. Donut have locations in the city and in Metrocentro. Of course, there are more typical foods such as pupusas and tacos in which you can buy in establishments in the downtown area.
A recommended restaurant right next to the cathedral on the main square is "Los Horcones" - a fascinating structure with charming decorations and a first floor with tables looking onto the square below. Good prices and reasonable food.
One of the nicest restaurants you can visit in Santa Ana is "Alantigua", which is located across from Telecom, three blocks east from the Central Park. Visiting "Alantigua" is like time-travelling to the late 1800s, the restaurant is located in a restored house dating back to the late 1800s. Many of the original items of the house are still preserved. (Apr. 2010: this restaurant is now closed)
For the sweet tooth, don't miss Pasteleria Ban-Ban. Serves up probably the best desserts in all of El Salvador. Locations in the downtown area and Metrocentro.
Santa Ana is also famous for its famous sherberts. Sin Rival is considered the best brand, with several stores scattered throughout the city.

Memphis' 6th District is undeniably Ford territory.

If you're an investor looking to spend some cash in the multifamily market, chances are the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence - maybe several states away.
That's been proven recently in Memphis, where several apartment properties have been snapped up quietly by out-of-town investment companies.

For metalsmith artist Jennifer Crupi, the term 'meaningless gestures' is, well, probably meaningless.
Crupi creates her conceptual metalwork to model and reveal human gesture and its close relative, body language.
Indeed, during the 20 years of exhibiting her art, Crupi's shows have increasingly included the word 'gesture' in their title. The big difference in 'Jennifer Crupi: A Display of Gestures' is this show will be her first on the West Coast in a career based in New York and New Jersey.
The exhibition, which features approximately 15 of Crupi's handcrafted works of art made from sterling silver and aluminum, runs June 28 through Oct. 5 at the Museum of Craft and Design in San Francisco.
"The Museum continually has an eye on the unconventional," says executive director Joann Edwards, who's excited about bringing Crupi's unusual vision westward. "We love the opportunity to engage creatives and our audience by presenting forward-looking exhibitions."
Crupi's style of wearable art may be forward-looking, but some of it also looks positively medieval.
"Jennifer's work, in general, speaks to meaningful gestures, as the wearer or viewer interacts with it," says Edwards. "It is intended to visually demonstrate how we communicate with one another through movement, body language, and choice of object for wearing."
In addition to the 15 handcrafted pieces, the show will include framed displays and Plexiglas-encased photos, etchings, and narratives prepared by the artist, who is a professor at Kean University in Jersey.
Crupi's work is part of the permanent collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Craft in Oregon, and the Samuel Dorskey Museum of Art in New York.

Sometimes in a family system, it is not just one person who is having problems and difficulty. And others reactions and actions can be influenced on another. I have worked in Family Therapy for 20 years, in people's homes, schools, community, and an outpatient setting. Construction of a family genogram where all members share their history, strengths, weaknesses, wants and needs can be beneficial. I help families learn and use positive communication and respect each other. Expressing feelings appropriately and assertively, not aggressively, is the key to a happy and healthy family. All need to help to make the family unti work.

Acer XS Fairway Wood - Custom Assembled
Base Price $59.95Golf Tips Magazine gave The Acer XS Fairway Woods a "Best Buy" award in their 2013 Annual Buyer's Guide. Golf Tips said "Wow Factor: As usual, these woods are value-minded, but that doesn't mean they skimp on performance. They're both really long and forgiving." Far from ordinary, the Acer XS is a high-performance series of fairway woods featuring a forged body coupled with a very thin, high-strength forged face for explosive distance, sound and feel at impact. This midsized design is highly functional off of the ground or the tee as the forging process allow freedom in reducing thickness in the crown so we can maintain a lower center of gravity without sacrificing face height. Comes with Free Acer headcover! Learn More

Acer XV Fairway Wood - Custom Assembled
Base Price $64.95The Acer XV fairways woods feature cup-face construction or where part of the faceplate wraps around and becomes incorporated into the sole, crown and skirt area of the head. This pushes the weld back away from the actual face so the areas around the perimeter could be made thinner creating more face deflection for higher ball speeds to areas other than the center of the face. Even when you miss-hit the ball, the XV with cup-face technology provides you that extra spring-like effect for longer shots. These also feature the same Power Chamber as the matching driver. In addition, these low profile heads coupled with the Gravity Port moved toward the face promotes a higher launch with lower spin. Learn More
