PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Four American demining experts were wounded Tuesday by an accidental explosion at Cambodia's main training center for the removal of unexploded ordnance, its director said.
Heng Ratana, the director general of the Cambodian Mine Action Center, said the accident occurred during a break in training sessions in the afternoon in the central province of Kampong Chhnang.
He said the four victims, two of them critically injured, were evacuated by helicopter to a hospital in the capital, Phnom Penh. The names of the men, who Heng Ratana said arrived in Cambodia last week, have not been released.
"Four U.S. personnel were injured today in Kampong Chhnang during a mine clearance training exercise," U.S. Embassy spokesman John Simmons confirmed.
While details of the accident were not clear, Meas Chamrouen, a trainee at the center, said machine gun ammunition had exploded, though the cause was unknown.
An estimated 4 to 6 million land mines and other munitions left over from three decades of armed conflict kill or maim scores of Cambodians each year, even though combat ended in the late 1990s.

States Divided on Meaning of Health Care Ruling
This story was written by staff writers Amy Goldstein and N.C. Aizenman
A day after a federal judge struck down the government's plan to overhaul the health-care system, Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen issued a stern statement: "This means that, for Wisconsin, the federal health care law is dead," and that his state "was relieved of any obligations or duties" to carry out the statute.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D), meanwhile, pointed to the 700 people in his state with serious medical problems who already found insurance under the law. "Who goes to these people," the governor said in an interview, "and tells them, 'Sorry, a judge in Florida has decided we now need to put you out in the cold?' "
Wisconsin and Colorado are among the 26 states joined in the legal challenge that prompted Monday's opinion by U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson in Pensacola, Fla., that the law is invalid because it goes too far in requiring most Americans to buy health insurance. The reactions from Van Hollen and Hickenlooper reflect striking disagreement over the ruling's practical effects, even for the states in which the decision has the greatest direct impact.
Officials in Idaho and Florida, the state that initiated the lawsuit last March, said the ruling gives them the freedom to stop the work they have begun to put the law into effect. "We are not going to spend a lot of time and money with regard to trying to get ready to implement it," Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) told reporters in Tallahassee.
Meanwhile, the governors of Georgia, Iowa and Mississippi said through spokesmen that they did not think the court decision gave them license to stop work on the law, in part because the ruling is destined to be appealed to higher courts. "The state cannot halt midstream, because that would be irresponsible," said Brian C. Robinson, communications director for Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R), inaugurated last month after years in Congress. "It would put us too far behind if our litigation is not successful in the end." Officials in some of the other 26 participating states said they simply have not yet determined what the ruling means in practice.
What's Next in the Health Care Legal Fight?
The interpretations by these states are significant because, under the ruling, only the direct parties to the case potentially are exempt from the law's requirements, according to the plaintiff's attorney, David Rivkin. At issue, he said, are sweeping changes to the nation's health-care system that the law delegates to states. They include an expansion of Medicaid, the public insurance program for low-income Americans, so that it becomes available to people with higher incomes. They also include the design of insurance "exchanges," new-fangled marketplaces through which individuals and small businesses will be able to buy coverage. Both changes are to take effect in 2014 and require a lot of preparations.
However, Rivkin said, the ruling does not touch any provisions of the law that relate to insurance companies and employers, because they are not part of the lawsuit. This means, for instance, that the opinion does not jeopardize some aspects of the law that already have gone into effect, including the ability of young adults to remain longer on their parents' insurance policies.
As states struggled to parse the meaning of the ruling, the decision elated congressional Republicans, who are waging a parallel effort to dismantle the law.
The House, where Republicans became the majority last month, already has passed a bill to repeal the law. On Tuesday, Senate Republican leaders announced that they intend to try Wednesday to force the same measure to a vote in the Senate, where Republicans remain in the minority. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) proposed the repeal legislation as an amendment to an unrelated bill - involving funding for the Federal Aviation Administration - that is the first the Senate will consider since the start of the new Congress. Senate Democrats said Tuesday, however, that they intend to use a parliamentary maneuver to try to obstruct the vote.
Democrats are more receptive to another amendment, sponsored by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), which would eliminate a provision that increases the burden on small businesses in filing tax forms. That provision is the one aspect of the law that President Obama and many congressional Democrats have said they are willing to abolish.
Also Wednesday, Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) is scheduled to lead a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee to examine the constitutionality of the law. Democrats maintain that the law is constitutional, while Republicans, including state officials in 25 of the 26 states participating in the case that led to Monday's ruling, maintain that the insurance requirement and other provisions exceed Congress's constitutional limits.
In his decision, Vinson did not issue an injunction formally blocking the law, reasoning that one was unnecessary because his opinion was "the functional equivalent." Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said the agency is considering whether to request a stay, to clarify that the work of putting the law into practice can go on during court appeals.
Legal scholars interviewed Tuesday, including some who have held senior positions in Republican administrations, said the judge's legal reasoning that his ruling amounted to an injunction was unusual."I think the judge has misread some of the precedents he cites," said William Buzbee, a law professor at Emory University.

Get certificates signed by a third-party for Splunk Web
This topic provides basic examples for creating the third-party signed certificates necessary to configure Splunk Web for SSL authentication and encryption.
There are multiple ways you can create these certificates, depending upon your organization's policies, your network structure and the tools that you are using. If you have already generated these certificates and key, or if you are experienced with third-party certificates, you may prefer to skip this step and go directly to the configuration topic in this manual at Secure Splunk Web with your own certificate.
Before you begin
In this discussion,
$SPLUNK_HOME refers to the Splunk installation directory. On Windows, Splunk software is installed at
C:\Program Files\splunk by default. For most Unix platforms, the default installation directory is at
/opt/splunk; for Mac OS, it is
/Applications/splunk. See the Administration Guide to learn more about working with Windows and *nix.
Create a new private key for Splunk Web
1. Create a new directory to host your own certificates and keys. In this example we will use
We recommend that you place your new certificates in a different directory than
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/auth/splunkweb so that you don't overwrite the existing certificates. This ensures that you can use the certificates that ship with Splunk for other Splunk components as necessary.
2. Generate a new private key. Splunk Web supports 2048-bit keys or larger.
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl genrsa -des3 -out mySplunkWebPrivateKey.key 2048
$SPLUNK_HOME\bin\splunk cmd openssl genrsa -des3 -out mySplunkWebPrivateKey.key 2048
3. Create a password when prompted to enter the passphrase for the original key.
A new private key
mySplunkWebPrivateKey.key is added to your directory. You can use this key to sign your CSR.
4. Remove the password from the private key. Splunk Web does not support private key passwords.
You can use to following command to make sure that your password was successfully removed:
If the password was successfully removed, you can view the certificate contents without providing a password.
Create a Certificate Authority (CA) request and obtain your server certificate
1. Create a new certificate signature request using your private key
In *nix:
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl req -new -key mySplunkWebPrivateKey.key -out mySplunkWebCert.csr
In Windows:
$SPLUNK_HOME\bin\splunk cmd openssl req -new -key mySplunkWebPrivateKey.key -out mySplunkWebCert.csr
Note for Windows platforms: If you see an error similar to this:
Try typing the following in your command prompt then run the
openssl command again:
2. Use the CSR
mySplunkWebCert.csr to request a new signed certificate from your Certificate Authority (CA). The process for requesting a signed certificate varies depending on how your Certificate Authority handles a certificate signature request. Contact your CA for more information.
3. Download the server certificate returned by your Certificate Authority. For this example, let's call it "
4. Download your Certificate Authority's public CA certificate. For this example, let's call it "
5. Make sure that both the server certificate and the public CA certificate are both in PEM format. If the certificates are not in PEM format, convert them using the
openssl command appropriate to your existing file type. Here's an example of a command that you can use for DER formats:
6. Check both certificates to make sure they have the necessary information and are not password protected.
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl x509 -in myCACert.pem -text $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl x509 -in mySplunkWebCert.pem -text
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl x509 -in myCACert.pem -text $SPLUNK_HOME\bin\splunk cmd openssl x509 -in mySplunkWebCert.pem -text
The issuer information for
mySplunkWebCert.pem should be the subject information for
myCACert.pem (unless you are using intermediary certificates).
Combine your certificate and keys into a single file
Combine your server certificate and public certificate, in that order, into a single PEM file.
Set up certificate chains
To use multiple certificates, append the intermediate certificate to the end of the server's certificate file in the following order:
[ server certificate] [ intermediate certificate] [ root certificate (if required) ]
So for example, a certificate chain might look like this:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... (certificate for your server)... -----END CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... (the intermediate certificate)... -----END CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... (the root certificate for the CA)... -----END CERTIFICATE-----
Note that the root CA that signed the intermediate certificate and all intermediary certificates must be in the browser certificate stores.
Next steps
Configure Splunk's
web.conf file to find and use your certificates for authentication. See
Secure Splunk Web with your own certificate for more information.

Nhdpotter, thanks for these suggestions. I've filed a request for the responsible writer to confirm and update the info.
like in the link https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.1/Security/Howtoself-signcertificates
we should not be recommending to do genrsa -des3
We should be recommending aes
@Jworthington splunk
I just did a test with version 7.1.2 on Linux with an encrypted private key. The password in web.conf -> [settings] -> sslPassword was "encrypted" during the restart of Splunk, Splunk web was started without any message in the terminal windows and I could connect to port 8000 and log in. I alos checked, that my newly created certificate was used. I re-checked, commented out "sslPassword" and restarted Splunk again which led to error messages in the terminal window and also in splunkd.log. Removing the comment and restarting led to the same running behaviour as described first.
Hi Xysarah,
My understanding is that we still do not support private key passwords in Splunk Web. I've reached out to our dev team to see if this has been updated in the back end without my knowledge and let you know what I find out. (And update the docs accordingly). Thanks so much for pointing this out!
"Splunk Web does not support private key passwords" from this document is conflicted with the web.conf in "https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.1/Admin/Webconf". The parameter "sslPassword" in web.conf is to protect the private key with password.
So which one is correct? Does Splunk Web does support private key passwords?
I believe there's a mistake in section "Create a new private key for Splunk Web", Step 4, Windows:
To remove the password from private key on a Windows host the command should be:
# openssl rsa -in mySplunkWebPrivateKey.key -out mySplunkWebPrivateKey.key -config $SPLUNK_HOME\openssl.cnf
# openssl rsa -in mySplunkWebPrivate.key -text
This just outputs the contents but doesn't change the password
Useful article. It might be nice to include the commands on how to chain the web and CA certs together though.
Hi Adam,

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that a larger key size is more secure, so I've added that as a recommendation.
My 2045 generation command should have been:
# openssl genrsa -des3 -out mySplunkWebPrivateKey.key 2048
The command
# openssl genrsa -desf3 -out mySplunkWebPrivateKey.key 1024

should be
# openssl genrsa -des3 -out mySplunkWebPrivateKey.key 1024

I changed mine to 2048 per organizational requirements, which I would suggest others do as well
# openssl genrsa -desf3 -out mySplunkWebPrivateKey.key 2048

Categorical Data Modeling
D. A. Work
posted on Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - 4:34 am
my goal is it to estimate a Multi-level Model.
But at first I want to try a basline model: A logistic regression model. Besides the dependend categorical variable I also habe some categorical independent variables with more than two categories. But in the variable statement I`m not able to define those independent variables as categorical variables. The output always says, that only dependent variables can be categorical.
Now I don`t know how to understand the output. How do I have to interpret the findings, while the different categories of the independent (categorical) variables are not printed.
Do I have to add more variables (dummy variables) to the model? Or is it possible to define a reference categorie like it is in SPSS?
Thank you for your help!

posted on Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - 6:23 am
You need to create dummy variables for the categorical independent variables. You can do this using the DEFINE command. The number of dummy variables is the number of categories minus one.

Thank you very much!!
I can`t find the intercept in my Output. My Output statements are stand tech1 tech4.
Shall I nevertheless create "number of categories minus one" dummy variables? Or shall I create "number of categories = number of dummy variables"?
Or do you have another advice?
Again thanks a lot!

I am doing SEM with WLSMV estimation. The outcome variable is an ordinal data. One of the independent variables is also an ordinal data also. After running the model, this ordinal independent variable had no residual variance. Is this the expected outcome? Or, I did something wrong.

Don't specify independent variables as categorical, if by independent you mean covariate (x in Mplus language).

Politicians have allowed good old animosities and pointless diplomatic foot-stamping get in the way of good decision making that is in the long-term interest of the United States. As the Russian government continues its support of the collapsing leadership of Syria's President Bashar al Assad, and tries to supply new and/or repaired helicopters to its forces (the ship, the Alaed carrying them was turned back twice, in June then July), so the House of Representatives decided overwhelmingly by 407-5 votes in July to halt the $171-million purchase of Russian-made Mi-17s for the Afghan Air Force. The completion deadline was Dec. 31, 2016.
The passing of the bill confirmed the "break contract" stance to halt the process of taking up further options for the purchase of another 10 Mi-17s from Russian state arms export company Rosoboronexport. However, the folly of this act means that it this simply derails an ongoing process started in May 2011 with a $367-million deal for delivery of 21 Mi-17V5s to the Afghan military. An additional two Mi-17s were bought for spares this summer at a cost of $46 million.
The architect of this counter-productive bill, Senator John Cornyn, pointed out: "There has never been a competition for supplying rotorcraft for the Afghan National Security Forces. Had there been one, I'm confident American firms would have done exceptionally well."
Last year however, the Chief of Staff of the Afghan Army Abdul Wahhab Wardak said that the choice of the Mi-17 supported a type better suited by way of simplicity to Afghan aircrew and technical staff, and through experience that it was more suited to conditions in Afghanistan.
Would any western helicopter manufacturer be interested in supplying, and more importantly supporting, a fleet of aircraft over time at a price that could compete with the Russian-made Mi-17s? The western trend has been to increase the sophistication of their systems—not build them to be the equivalent of the AK-47. Not only have the Afghan military operated Mi-17s since the 1980s, well before U.S. forces were in Afghanistan, but the process of supplying them with Mi-17 helicopters by the U.S. Army under the Non Standard Rotary Wing program is well under way. In addition, U.S. Army personnel are instructing Afghan trainee pilots to be able to fly the Mi-17 when they gain their wings. The Mi-17 is the right aircraft for Afghanistan on many levels and, if being supported for any time by the American taxpayer, is the cheapest option in the long term by far. It is also the helicopter that the Afghans stand a chance of maintaining after American and other International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) have taken their helicopters home when the drawdown is complete around 2015.
Make no mistake, air power and helicopter support, be it kinetic or logistical, has been a key factor in holding back the Taliban and al-Qaeda. The Afghan National Army will be hard pressed already to continue the counter-insurgency campaign without the high-tech, long reaching ISAF forces. If they can't operate and re-supply from the air, then all of the rural areas that have been so hard won with ISAF and Afghan lives will be quickly vulnerable once again. Road transport becomes vulnerable to Improvised Explosive Devices and other forms of attack; the task to keep these routes open becomes harder and an army barely trained to acceptable standards in most cases will see a crumbling of morale followed by defections. Then it doesn't take too much imagination for the collapse of central government which would leave us all back to the day before 9/11.

You call in dead.
That's what we joked, darkly, when I was in residency. The workload is so huge and the disruption so severe when someone was out, that there was tremendous pressure not to call in sick. In fact, I don't think I was ever directly discouraged from calling in sick, but there was just this understanding, that you had better really be sick if you missed a day.
I absorbed that ethic well, and in the twelve years of my career have taken fewer than twelve days off, I am sure. Most ER docs of my acquaintance share the same approach. I have been administering sick call for our group for a while, and I simply cannot recall anyone ever calling in for what seemed to be a frivolous reason.
But some are more Hard Core than others. I remember one morning, a few years back, when I came on shift. I was surprised to see that the partner who I was supposed to replace was on "the board" as a patient. This guy, I'll call him Bill, was famous in our group. He worked eighteen shifts a month and moonlighted as well. He always came in and got started thirty minutes early. He was an absolute shit magnet and always wound up with the knottiest, most difficult cases and always pulled it off with a smile. We joked that if we got sick, we would never let him care for us, not because he wasn't awesome, but because he would surely find some horrible diagnosis! (In fact, he was responsible for these two of my favorite cases.)
Apparently Bill had fallen ill while on shift. Fever, RLQ abdominal pain, a surgical consult and on the schedule for the OR for an appendectomy. He had a fairly large number of patients to sign out to me -- it had been a busy night. (We double cover at night, so the other doc helped as best he could till I got there.) I got the briefing and went to work, while Bill went upstairs to the OR.
The ER was swamped and I sort of forgot about Bill for a while. Eventually I got the labs and scans all back on one of my "inherited" patients, and I went to the room to let her know she was going to be admitted. Who should come out of the room, but Bill! He was wearing a hospital gown and robe, holding his IV pole, and laughing as he told the patient she was going to be admitted. He wisecracked, "Maybe we'll share a room!"
"What are you doing down here?" I asked, confused. He airily replied, "Oh, you know, I hadn't finished my dictations, and so I was looking in the computer and saw the results on this lady, so I thought I'd come down and dispo her for you, cause I know the story and the exam better. I'll just call the admitting doc and then I'll finish up my charts and go back upstairs."
At that moment, the surgeon rounded the corner. She stood all of five foot three, but her eyes were blazing with fury and she seemed to tower over us both. "What the hell do you think you are doing?!" She spat the words through gritted teeth, and I backed slowly away, lest she view me as an accomplice. "The nurses told me you had 'escaped' from post-op, and I didn't believe them, but this! This! I. Will. Not. Have. It." I think Bill tried, feebly, to explain himself, but she rode right over him in her rage. "You will stop what you are doing right now. You will lie down on this gurney," she gestured at an empty hallway bed, "and you will come back upstairs with me now. And if you so much as think of getting out of bed," she continued, "I will have you put in four-point restraints."
I endured a withering look from her as I helped Bill onto the gurney. He winced a bit, less from the pain than from the tongue-lashing that continued without pause as we got him situated. By this time a curious crowd of sober-looking nurses had gathered around, and watched impassively as the surgeon drafted a couple of idle hands to take her patient back upstairs. Only after they were safely out of sight did we, as one, erupt in hysterical laughter.
Wiping a tear from her eye, the charge nurse observed that only Bill would have pulled a stunt like that. She confessed that the post-op nurses had called down looking for Bill, and it was she that had ratted him out. I heard later that the surgeon had kept him in the hospital an extra day as punishment.
Only Bill.

omg! My dad's an er doc and he did something similar to this a few years ago, or so the nurses told me. He rushed himself in after having an allergic reaction to something (in his tiny bermuda shorts, unfortunately, aahh). Anyway. I guess it was a busy night so once he's settled in...he offers to start signing orders/charts from his bed. lol I guess he was kind of dopey from the meds because the nurse telling the story was like "Yeah, everyone got a cardiac work-up that night."ReplyDelete

Lol, Hannah! Gotta admire that kind of dedication, both your dad and Bill. :)ReplyDelete

The first part of the story, you could have been writing about my dad (who's name happens to be Bill). although he almost passed out in the on-call room & didn't tell anyone until after the nurses decided he simply looked too ill to continue, & admitted him. Turns out he had a bleeding ulcer - I guess he knew the ulcer was there, but didn't expect it to bleed...? Anyway, he was in the hospital for about three days, and I swear they ran every possible test on him (I heard of, at the least, an upper GI, a lower GI, and endoscopy, if those are all real tests), saying "who knows when he'll give us a chance to examine him again?"ReplyDelete
This situation happened recently to one of our PAs. She developed the same symptoms: RLQ pain, nausea, fever.ReplyDelete
We triaged her and put her in a bed, only to have her tell us to give it to someone else. She accepted antinausea meds, drank her gastrografin, and then saw patients. As she said, "What the hell else am I going to do for the next two hours while I wait for the CT scan?!?"

Had one of our PCP's once dx with an appy. early in the am. Scheduled himself for evening surgery, and went back to work for the day. He said, I work right across the street, If it gets worse, I'll come back. Only a doctor, I guess. I've definitely seen one of our ER docs walking around with an IV in for Toradol/Reglan when suffering a kidney stone.ReplyDelete

Description of the illustration delete_obsolete_nodes.eps
This figure illustrates the removal of obsolete nodes from a topology, as explained in text before and after the illustration. In this case, only one node (N2) is removed, because the other nodes do not satisfy all criteria for obsolete nodes.
In the top part of the illustration (Before Removing Obsolete Nodes), edge E1 is between nodes N1 and N2, and edge E2 is between nodes N2 and N3. In the bottom part of the illustration (After Removing Obsolete Nodes), edge E1 is between nodes N1 and N3, and edge E2 does not exist because it has been removed.

Hi Archinect!
I was in New Haven today, to interview Michelle Addington. I haven't been here since I was a prospective student, so it is somehow fitting to be back now that my M.Arch.I degree is done. It was also great to spend some time with Michelle, as her work is so interesting and her move from the Harvard to Yale was one thing that I lamented while signing on at the GSD. The results of the interview will have to wait until the next issue of ArchitectureBoston, but for now, some photos from around YSOA:
All the lamps at 90 degrees!
Rudolph Hall.
Rudolph Hall. <3
Something awesome in YSOA's end of the year show.
Looks like some Neri Oxman! But it's not.
Yale's campus feels like another era.
YSOA puts the light back into skylight.
Prices you would not find in Cambridge.
Project you would not find at the GSD.
YSOA's patio. New Haven--at least around Yale's campus and East Rock--strikes me as picture-perfect with its mix of New England vernacular, neo-Gothic, modern, and contemporary architecture. What a sweet town. I've heard New Yorkers say that when they come through Cambridge, MA, so let's say that New Haven is to Boston what Boston is to New York, and what New York is to...Hong Kong.
Thanks for reading!
P.S. I am also super-excited to have my writing on flooring materials appear in June 2013's issue of Azure Magazine! Sorry, I know it's not totally legible below, but it's the largest size that the blogs allow and probably more legal-ish this way, anyways.

I have this code, and inside the 'saveImage()' function i explain in comments what my problem is. this code is meant to go to an image url and save that image to my desktop.
the main dilemma is I can't go directly to an image url (such as website.com/image.jpg)
I can get to a webpage that has multiple images on it, but need to single out a specific one.
import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.OutputStream; import java.net.URL; public class main { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { String numString = "WarCraft_"; String imageUrl = "http://sonsofthestorm.com/viewer.php?artist=raneman&cat=warcraft&art=1"; String destinationFile = "C:\\Users\\Turtle\\Desktop\\image.jpg"; saveImage(imageUrl, destinationFile); }//end main public static void saveImage(String imageUrl, String destinationFile) throws IOException { // somewhere around here, i need the program to look at this website url, (imageUrl) // find any images that start with the words: "WarCraft_" (numString) // and get that image, or set imageUrl to that image's url.

Hello And Welcome,
I am so glad to have you here.
My name is Julia and I am a Certified Facilitator of Access Consciousness.
Using the tools of Access has changed my life entirely. I have been on this journey for the past 7 years, and using the tools of Access has given me financial freedom, happiness and relationships that I always knew were possible but didn't know where to find.
I grew up on a farm in rural Canada and I always knew something different and magical was possible.
I looked around me and I didn't see people creating the things they knew were possible.
As Voltaire said, "It is the Best of All Possible Worlds"
What if your life was the best of all possible worlds, rather than something you are satisfied with?
What if you never had to be held down or attached to this reality again? What is it that you truly desire as your life and future?
Welcome on the journey to a totally different life.
I would love for you to come and play!

cairo initiation.
The captain said the pyramids were best seen from our left. I was sitting on the other side of the plane and all I saw was a sea of yellowish sand. One of the first things that strike me as I get out of the plane in Cairo is the dust, so fine that it encases my tongue like film. I taste it and see that the sunlight is filtered through it. I had read that Egypt is not a country but a river, and Cairo, I said to myself, isn't a city but a desert.

By Nathan Petrashek
The non-waiver trade deadline is less than a month away, and the Brewers are securely locked away deep down in the division's dungeons. The end of July should raise their spirits a bit, with games against fellow inmates like the Cubs and Marlins, but first they'll have to face the Reds and Diamondbacks. In short: hope for any type of sustained winning is dim. The Brewers remind me a bit of those pirates of Disneyworld, frantically trying to get the cell key from the guard's dog. The desperation is palpable.
Soon the Brewers will begin trading off what they can. It's fun to conjure up grand scenarios involving high-end prospects for players like Yovani Gallardo and Aramis Ramirez, but the reality is likely to be more mundane. It takes a prefect alignment of interests to make trades of that caliber work, and it seems the front office is still evaluating whether to take the full plunge on rebuilding.
So with preliminary matters out of the way, here are the three players the Brewers are most likely to trade before July 31. And they're all relievers.
RHP Francisco Rodriguez
Rodriguez blew up a bit against the Pirates on Sunday, but that shouldn't deter many suitors. After failing to secure a major-league deal to begin the season, K-Rod has shown he still has plenty left in the tank with a sparkling .96 ERA and 19 strikeouts over 18.2 innings. His 2.69 FIP suggests he has benefited from some excellent defense, but it shouldn't hurt his stock much. Teams like Cleveland and Detroit should be looking for cheap relief help, and with with K-Rod due somewhere around $1MM for the rest of the season, he fits the bill.
LHP Tom Gorzelanny
Milwaukee took a stab at Gorzelanny hoping he could replicate his 2.88 ERA 2012 season with Washington, and he's more than delivered. Gorzelanny has never been a hard thrower, but his velocity is up just a tick this year over past seasons, which is important given how frequently he uses his fastballs. All four of his pitches rank above average, and his 8.8 K/9, 2.31 ERA, and 1.07 WHIP could certainly play in long relief. Gorzelanny performs much better against righties than lefties, so its possible some teams could see him as a LOOGY. He's slightly more than a rental, as he's signed through 2014. He's earning $2.6MM this year and will make $2.8MM in 2014.
LHP Michael Goznalez
Oh, Mike Gonzalez. As much as he's frustrated Brewers fans, there's actually a reasonable chance a contender will view him as useful, as the results don't necessarily reflect what the eye sees. A 3.30 ERA isn't terrible, nor is Gonzalez's 12 K/9. He's not the typical southpaw, though, as he's struggled against lefties, but held right-handed batters to just a .228 average. That's the exact opposite of last year, so it's possible interested teams may not quite know what to make of him. Gonzalez is currently signed to a 1-year, $2.25MM contract.
That might not be the most exciting list, as the three relievers aren't standout names and won't draw a whole lot of intriguing prospects back. But those factors also make them the most likely to be moved at the deadline.

Android Provides More Eyeballs to Advertisers, While iPhone Offers Most Revenue to App Creators, Study Finds
There are many ways of measuring smartphone success, but using almost any metric shows both the iPhone and Android doing pretty darn well.
That said, new numbers from Millennial Media offer up an interesting take–just how are the smartphone leaders doing in terms of making money for others. The report looks at both how many ads are being viewed on various devices as well as how much app revenue is being generated via the various smartphone operating systems.
In terms of advertising impressions, Android is the clear leader, with devices running that operating system accounting for nearly half of all ad impressions shown last month. Measured on that basis, 14 of the top 20 devices run Android, though the iPhone still tops the list and the BlackBerry Curve is the second most common phone model.
However, in terms of app revenue by platform, the numbers are largely reversed, with iOS apps generating 47 percent of revenue, as compared to 36 percent of revenue generated by Android apps. BlackBerry apps accounted for 7 percent of sales, while WebOS, Windows Phone, Symbian and other operating systems combined for just 10 percent of app revenue.
The report is chock full of other interesting stats as well.
For example, non-phone devices such as the iPad, iPod Touch and Galaxy Tab are seeing strong ad growth. The number of ads seen on such devices grew 21 percent month-over-month and such devices now make up 17 percent of the total mobile ad market, as compared to 64 percent for smartphones and 19 percent for feature phones.
The iPhone, meanwhile, saw its number of ad impressions grow 17 percent from a month earlier, amid adoption of the Verizon iPhone, which now accounts for 8.2 percent of ads shown to iPhones.
The report also breaks out ad impressions based on the type of phone. On that basis, 59 percent of ads were viewed on touch-screen only devices, 17 percent on models with both a keyboard and touchscreen, 13 percent on phones with a keyboard but no touchscreen and 11 percent on those sad little phones that have only a traditional phone keypad.

How is your week going? Mine has been pretty good so far! I don't think a lot of Packer fans can say that today after that horrible referee call last night. I don't watch football, but even I was shocked and angry when I saw that play on the news this morning. My favorite headline was "Clueless in Seattle."
I've had quite a calm come over me lately. I don't know if it was that week of vacation I took, that I am still feeling sort of out it from this never-ending cold virus or that meditation is the cause of it. Whatever it is, I am thankful for the feeling.
To keep my calm feeling, I went for a walk outside in the gorgeous fall weather during my lunch break today. My destination was Starbucks and a Pumpkin Spice Latte was my treat.
I have only had two this season and they have hit the spot! For some reason, they taste much better than I remembered them tasting last year. I think it's my imagination though.
It was so calm and quiet at Starbucks. I just chilled in a chair and played on my iPhone and watched people.
This sounds odd, but I know I am not the only girl that does this. I spotted a girl who was dressed so cute in a typical fall outfit: brown boots, dark tights, a skirt and a crossbody purse. She looked effortless. I think I need to dress like that more often, especially in fall because I love wearing dresses or skirts with tights and tall boots. I looked down at my boring outfit and thought to myself, you can do better.
While walking, I listened to a great new podcast: From the Inside Out by Trish Blackwell.
The episode I listened to was about patience. I think I am a pretty patient person, but I know that everyone could find ways to be more patient and it was a good reminder to work on that.
Dinner tonight was kind of my go-to meal: quinoa with whatever I can find to dump in it. I mixed together Trader Joe's roasted red peppers, quark from Clock Shadow, feta cheese, various spices, sea salt and cooked chickpeas. I made enough for leftovers for our lunches too.
Instead of going to the gym, I took advantage of the crisp and beautiful weather and went for a bike ride. There won't be many more evenings left to do that, so I figured I should spend some time outside.
Craig suggested I also do Wii Fit, which I haven't done in ages. I got a half hour in on there and it felt great to have fun while playing various balance and cardio levels.
My favorite is catching the fish in the penguin balance game. 🙂 I also did step aerobics on there for 10 minutes, which got me sweating! It was a good reminder to pull out the Wii more in the winter months, when I don't feel like going to the gym.
Do you listen to podcasts? If so, do you have a favorite you subscribe to? I have a mixture of fitness, travel, language, vegetarian, NPR and nutrition podcasts on my iPhone.

Five year-old Tony Amorim sat with his dad in a van in Danbury, Conn., in 1989.
"Do you want to come with me," his father asked him, "or do you want to stay with your mother?"
Tony loved them both, but the boy couldn't imagine living without his father.
"I want to go with you," Tony answered.
Right then and there Tony's father drove away and took him to the far-away land of Florida.
Last week, I interviewed Tony, now 28, on the phone. I couldn't call him directly because he is in Norfolk County Correctional Center awaiting his deportation hearing scheduled for today.
Tony's voice was tight. He was eager to share his story — his whole story.
On the face of it, his case is simple. According to a Notice to Appear, issued to him by the Department of Homeland Security, Tony is a native and citizen of Brazil who entered the U.S. through Orlando, Fla., on a Nonimmigrant Visitor for Pleasure Visa in 1985. In 1995, Tony was granted Lawful Permanent Resident status by an immigration judge. He was 11 years old. In 2004 he was arrested and convicted for possession of narcotics. Four years later he was arrested and convicted again for possession of narcotics with intent to sell and for possession of a pistol.
It sounds like Tony is the poster child for the kind of person who should be deported: two felony convictions and possession of a gun. But you haven't heard the whole story.
Tony's mother Recili brought him to the United States from Brazil in 1985 when he was 20 months old. In a phone interview with Tony's sister, Lilly, she explained that they came from the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, where she remembered they lived in a tiny apartment. Chickens ran around outside, they were poor, and violence was rampant, she said.
Lilly said when they came to the U.S., they were not planning to stay. She said they were coming to visit family, but the prospect of going back to Pernambuco felt more and more daunting with each day.
The family settled down in Danbury, Conn., where they could live close to relatives.
"I worked 60 hours each week at $300 per week to feed my family." Recili said in a recent telephone interview. "… I was supposed to be a lawyer in Brazil." She added that her mother was a lawyer in Brazil.
Tony said leaving with his father at five years old marks the starting point of his downward spiral. He said they moved around frequently and were eventually brought back to Connecticut to live with their mother.
When his father came to visit in his fifth-grade year, Tony said something in him snapped.
"I was just mad," Tony said. "So, everything my dad told me to do, I did the opposite."
Tony said he started using drugs.
About his first arrest in 2004, Tony explains: "In high school I would sell drugs a little bit. Deep down inside I really hated it, but I had a good friend of mine who was doing it."
After his arrest, Tony said he tried to reform himself, attending Gibbs College to earn his associate degree, but then he couldn't find work. He said he fell into deep depression and started self-medicating with drugs again. It wasn't long before he sold again.
"Three days before my arrest in October 2007," Tony said, his voice lightening, "I had a dream. I was getting caught; I was going to jail. I was sitting outside, smoking a cigarette and in my dream I heard a voice saying, 'You're not happy. What are you gonna do when you're 30?' I went to go pray. I said, 'God, I don't know you. Jesus, I don't know you. I don't want to sell drugs. Please show me a career."
Three days later Tony was arrested. He said when he went home that night, after being released on bail, he immediately started reading the Bible. He started with Proverbs and Ecclesiastes; the books of wisdom.
"When I was reading Proverbs I was like 'Whoa!' and then I read Ecclesiastes and I said, 'Whoa!"
Tony wanted a complete change. He said he changed his phone number and cut off all relations with old friends, read his Bible and started attending Victory Christian Center in Danbury.
When his sentence came he served six months in jail in Bridgeport, Conn. He recounts that during this time in jail, he took the opportunity to go deeper with God. He was transferred to a halfway house for another six months and entered a drug program where said he had revelation after revelation about his relationship with his father.
Soon after coming home, he said he found a job with a landscaper at his church and joined a local ministry called Jiu Jjitsu for Christ, which helps at-risk youth and adults to choose health instead of drugs and violence. The group's motto is "Fighting like David. Living like Christ."
Tony's voice raced with excitement as he shared his ascent at work. He said he began working for a structural steel and miscellaneous metal company, and moved up from Estimating Assistant to Junior Estimator in a short time. He said he took a new position at another company and cleaned up his credit enough to buy a new car.
Tony said it was the day after he bought his new car, while driving to work, when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent picked him up and detained him.
ICE was focused on his two convictions. It didn't matter that Tony had already served his debt to society. It didn't matter that Tony is not undocumented. And it didn't matter that he was currently helping to transform his entire neighborhood and the lives of so many at-risk youth. It didn't even matter that he was the principle breadwinner for his mother and sister, who have both been naturalized citizens since 2005. None of that mattered. Tony has felony convictions on his record, so he must be detained, according the law.
Ben Winograd is a staff attorney with the American Immigration Council, an organization that specializes in immigration law. In a recent interview Winograd explained: "The reason Tony is required to be held in detention is because he has been charged with an aggravated felony. One consequence of being convicted of an aggravated felony is that you are subject to mandatory unreviewable detention."
But Winograd went on to explain: "An aggravated felony does not have to be 'aggravated' or a 'felony' to be considered an aggravated felony for the purpose of federal immigration law."
A fact sheet on aggravated felonies published in 2012 by the Council explains: "… an 'aggravated felony' is simply an offense that Congress sees fit to label as such, and today includes many nonviolent and seemingly minor offenses."
Further, to obtain a bond from an immigration judge, detainees "must demonstrate with substantial likelihood that the crime in question does not qualify as an 'aggravated felony.'"
Drug trafficking is considered an aggravated felony, but Winograd explained: "As it happens there is a case currently before the Supreme Court that seeks to determine what it takes to be a drug trafficker under the immigration laws."
While a sign of hope, the Supreme Court's ruling will likely come down too late to impact Tony's hearing. But there is still reason to hope: according to Winograd there are rare cases in which someone has been convicted of an "aggravated felony" and has not been deported. "But," Winograd added, "it would be a challenge."
When asked if there should be room for the recognition of "redemption" in immigration law, Winograd answered: "Absolutely. Prior to 1996 Tony would have been able to go to the court and throw himself on the court's mercy. But, in '96 Congress passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which made immigration laws more punitive toward immigrants in all respects."
What does this all mean for Tony?
This young man who has known no other country than America and claims the New England Patriots as his football team of choice — this man's fate is being guided by Supreme Court rulings and congressional legislation enacted during times of great prejudice and fear-mongering aimed at immigrants and other non-white people.
In essence, Tony's case reveals the need to review the legitimacy of the social assumptions and prejudiced premises upon which much of our current immigration system rests.
Is there room for redemption in our legal system? Should the judge who hears Tony's case be able to take into consideration his previous circumstances and his redemption?
As a Christian who believes in the reality of the transformational power of the cross and the reality of Christ's resurrection, I believe in forgiveness. I believe in redemption: Tony's redemption and the redemption of our immigration system.
Keith Gaillard, a former New York police officer who has known Tony for three years, explained in a telephone interview, "I've always felt that certain laws need to be revisited, revised, or taken on a case-by-case basis. Tony has been doing well. They should at least take a look at his background."
I asked Tony, "As you face the possibility of being deported what are the things that go through your mind?"
He answered: "If I think beyond these walls, then I go crazy. I do everything I can to keep my mind inside. I read my Bible and when I have feelings of depression I rebuke it."
Then Tony shared a verse that he has taped above his bed: "What is impossible with man is possible with God. — Luke 18:27"

Pestano dealt for Angels' prospect Clevinger
CINCINNATI -- Vinnie Pestano received some bittersweet news on Thursday. The reliever has only known the Indians organization during his professional career, but it was becoming increasingly clear that a fresh start might do him some good.
On Thursday, Cleveland traded Pestano to the Angels in a Minor League deal for Class A right-hander Michael Clevinger. Pestano, who has been with Triple-A Columbus for the past few weeks, will join Los Angeles' Triple-A Salt Lake affiliate.
"I saw the writing on the wall a little bit," Pestano said in a phone interview on Thursday. "There are some other guys that [the Indians] are more fond of. It's part of the game and I get that. I'm excited for a new opportunity. It's good to feel wanted. You're always pitching for 29 other teams -- not just your own.
"I'm glad to get a fresh start with somebody else and an opportunity to impact their club. I'm not upset or mad or anything."
Pestano, 29, was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on July 12 after posting a 1.42 ERA in his most recent 10 appearances for Cleveland, which was using the former setup man nearly exclusively against right-handed batters. At Triple-A this season, the right-hander posted a 1.78 ERA with 37 strikeouts and 12 walks in 30 1/3 innings (32 games).
"I was getting a lot of swings and misses from righties," Pestano said of his work in the Minors. "In Cleveland, I was able to do that after I got called back up [on June 20]. So, I was just looking to carry that forward when I came back down. I've felt like I've been in a good spot for a while with where things are at."
Prospect acquired by Indians
Michael Clevinger, RHP: A fourth-round pick in 2011 out of Seminole State (Fla.) CC, Clevinger was establishing himself as the best pitching prospect in the Angels system the following year when he blew out his elbow. He missed much of the 2012 season and most of 2013 after Tommy John surgery, and he has been knocked around in the hitter-friendly high Class A California League this year. At his best, Clevinger shows the potential for four average or better pitches -- a low-90s fastball, a sharp slider, a curveball and a deceptive changeup. His delivery features more effort than scouts would like, which hampers his control and command. If he eventually has to move to the bullpen, he has hit 96 mph in a relief role in the past.Top 20 Prospects: Angels | Indians
-- Jim Callis
Pestano -- selected by the Indians in the 20th round of the 2006 First-Year Player Draft -- quickly became a fan favorite and energetic clubhouse presence during ascension to the setup role in the 2011-12 seasons. In those two years, the righty turned in a 2.45 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP and 160 strikeouts in 132 innings (137 games). He also set Cleveland's single-season holds record with 36 in the 2012 campaign.
Across the 2013-14 seasons, Pestano had a 4.26 ERA with a 1.62 WHIP, 50 strikeouts and 22 walks in only 44 1/3 innings (50 appearances) for Cleveland. During that span, he dealt with an elbow injury and diminished velocity, leading to trips to and from Triple-A.
The 23-year-old Clevinger has split his season between Class A (low) Burlington and Class A (high) Inland Empire, where he went a combined 4-3 with a 4.31 ERA in 18 starts. Clevinger (a fourth-round pick in the 2011 Draft) has 85 strikeouts against 32 walks in 79 1/3 innings this year.
"Vinnie was a very valuable member of the organization who made some great contributions to our bullpen throughout his time with us," Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said. "As we've had Major League bullpen opportunities over the course of the last month, we've promoted other pitchers from Columbus, so we thought it made sense to give Vinnie a fresh start with the Angels.
"In return, we acquired a young pitcher who we think has a chance to help our Major League team in the next few years."
As for Pestano, who was raised near from Angel Stadium, he is looking forward to his next big league chance in his old stomping grounds.
"I grew up 10 minutes away from the stadium and I played in college 10 minutes away, to," said Pestano, who attended Cal-State Fullerton. "I've been in the shadow of that halo for a while, so it'll be nice to get back out there."

University of Maryland receives federal grant to curb stormwater runoff into Chesapeake Bay
Social marketing will boost engagement in two watershed communities.
by Catherine Krikstan
September 25, 2012
The University of Maryland has received close to $700,000 in federal funding to help communities reduce stormwater runoff.
Using a software program to pinpoint pollution hot spots and an innovative brand of social marketing to boost citizen engagement, the university will embark on a multi-year project to increase the adoption of conservation practices in two watershed communities: the Wilde Lake watershed in Howard County, Md., and the Watts Branch watershed in Washington, D.C., whose waters flow into the Patuxent and Anacostia rivers, respectively.
Stormwater runoff, or rainfall that picks up pollutants as it flows across paved roads, parking lots, lawns and golf courses, is the fastest growing source of pollution into the Chesapeake Bay. Best management practices can reduce the flow of stormwater into creeks, streams and rivers, from the green roofs that trap and filter stormwater to the permeable pavement that allows stormwater to trickle underground rather than rush into storm drains.
But best management practices cannot work without the citizens who put them into action.
"We need to work with communities, rather than take a top-down approach [to stormwater management]," said project lead and assistant professor Paul Leisnham. "For the long-term successful implementation of these practices ... we need communities to be involved."
The university has partnered with local schools, religious organizations and grassroots associations (among them the Maryland Sea Grant, the Anacostia Watershed Society and Groundwork Anacostia) in hopes of breaking down barriers to the adoption of best management practices and increasing community involvement—and thus, investment—in local, long-term environmental conservation.

U.S. Senator Ben Cardin commended the project at a Bladensburg Waterfront Park event as a creative and results-driven way to reduce stormwater runoff.
"It's going to allow us to make a difference in our [local] watershed, which will make a difference in the Chesapeake Bay," Cardin said.
The funding, which totaled $691,674, was awarded through the Sustainable Chesapeake Grant program administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
The following activities engage students in a number of ways that let them explore the impact of World War II on the people who lived through it. Students will also have an opportunity to examine the past military and home front experience of people in their community, state or region and be able to compare it with the events at Floyd Bennett Field.
Activity 1: Graphic Design
Activity 2: Oral History Interview
Ask your students to research in the community or their families to identify either a) World War II veterans (remembering that the Air Force was the Army Air Force, in contrast to the Naval aviators who flew out of Floyd Bennett Field) or b) women who worked in farms, factories or shipyards during World War II. Veterans may not have been stationed overseas or in combat positions. Medical personnel, including female nurses, should not be overlooked. Home front workers may have worked for large corporations such as Grumman or General Motors, or simply have operated a tractor on the family farm. Some civilians, for example Red Cross workers and USO performers, were not involved in wartime production but certainly have wonderful experiences to share. Students may find that local organizations that serve veterans and senior citizens are a good resource for locating these individuals in their communities.
Organize a class project to participate in the Veterans History Project of the Library of Congress by having students interview people they identified who have lived through World War II and donate the interviews to the Library of Congress or some other repository such as a university or historical society. See the Veterans History Project Website [http://www.loc.gov/folklife/vets/] or for more information write to The Veterans History Project, American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, 101 Independence Ave., SE, Washington, DC 20540.
Prepare students in the technique of conducting oral history interviews. The Veterans History Project Website offers in depth instructions on how to conduct an oral history and they include samples online. It would be courteous for students to follow up by thanking participants, as well. After conducting the interview, students may report their findings to class in an oral form or through written transcription of the interview.
Activity 3: World War II in the Local Community

The power of a Java persistence solution like DataNucleus is demonstrated when persisting relationships between objects. There are many types of relationships.
When the relation is unidirectional you simply set the related field to refer to the other object. For example we have classes A and B and the class A has a field of type B. So we set it like this
A a = new A(); B b = new B(); a.setB(b); // "a" knows about "b"
When the relation is bidirectional you have to set both sides of the relation. For example, we have classes A and B and the class A has a collection of elements of type B, and B has a field of type A. So we set it like this
A a = new A(); B b1 = new B(); a.addElement(b1); // "a" knows about "b1" b1.setA(a); // "b1" knows about "a"
So it is really simple, with only 1 real rule. With a bidirectional relation you must set both sides of the relation
To persist an object with JPA you call the EntityManager method persist . The object passed in will be persisted. By default all related objects will not be persisted with that object. You can however change this by specifying the cascade PERSIST property for that field. With this the related object(s) would also be persisted (or updated with any new values if they are already persistent). This process is called persistence-by-reachability . With JDO the default is to persist all reachables, whereas with JPA you have to explicitly set this behaviour. For example we have classes A and B and class A has a field of type B and this field has the cascade property PERSIST set. To persist them we could do
A a = new A(); B b = new B(); a.setB(b); // "a" knows about "b" em.persist(a);
As we have mentioned above, it is for the user to set both sides of a bidirectional relation. If they dont and object A knows about B, but B doesnt know about A then what is the persistence solution to do ? It doesnt know which side of the relation is correct. JPA doesnt define the behaviour currently for this situation. DataNucleus has two ways of handling this situation. If you have the persistence property "datanucleus.manageRelationships" set to true then it will make sure that the other side of the relation is set correctly, correcting obvious omissions, and giving exceptions for obvious errors. If you set that persistence property to false then it will assume that your objects have their bidirectional relationships consistent and will just persist what it finds.

Pennsylvania auto insurance law requires Bodily Injury Liability insurance coverage which pays for the other parties' medical expenses if you injure someone in a car accident. You must buy bodily injury liability coverage of at least 15/30: $15,000 pays for injuries to one person while the $30,000 represents the total available for one accident.
If you damage someone's property in a car accident and you are at fault, the property damage liability coverage pays for it. You must buy at least $5000 of property damage liability coverage. Some companies offer a single limit of $35,000 which meets the bodily injury liability and property damage liability minimum requirements. A minimum medical benefits coverage of $5,000 is also required. These pays medical bills for you and others covered on you policy regardless of fault.
