Wrong Info from WSJ's The Journal Editorial Report on FOXNews
The below report is a transcript of The Journal Editorial Report that airs on FOXNews and is hosted by Paul Gigot…unfortunately it's riddled with inaccuracies and fact-check errors. In particular, the Wall Street Journal's John Fund is full of crap:
Gigot: We're a little more than six months away from the start of the 2010 census, and if you think the goal is get an accurate count of U.S. citizens, think again. Instead, the Census Bureau is set to count all people physically present in the country, including–that means large numbers who could be here illegally. That could give states with high rates of illegal immigration a big advantage when it comes to reapportioning congressional seats. One big winner, potentially: California, which stands to gain nine more seats in Congress than it would if only U.S. citizens were counted. States like Ohio, Louisiana, Michigan and Pennsylvania could be among the losers.
We're back with Dan Henninger and John Fund, and Wall Street Journal editorial board member Jason Riley also joins the panel.
All right. John, are the–is the census set to count an awful lot of illegals as part of its count?
Fund: Yes, the Census Bureau says its job is to count everyone in the country–I assume that includes illegal aliens and tourists–and make that part of the census count.
Gigot: Tourists? They're going to catch them at the airport?
Fund: Or the hotel. The problem is the Census Bureau, for the first time, is not going to be asking on the census form if you're a citizen, so there's no way of telling who they're counting, whether they're a citizen or not. And I think this is highly dangerous, because the Census was originally designed to count citizens and permanent residents of the United States. In the last 10 years, we've had a large increase in illegal immigration. There's somewhere between 7 million and 12 million illegal aliens in this country. Adding them into the decision about which states get how many House seats really will dramatically change our politics.
Gigot: All right, Jason, do you agree with that?
Riley: No, I don't. I think the 14th Amendment is pretty clear. It says, quote, "Count the whole number of persons in each state." There may be residents of these states that are illegal, but they're still residents, and according to the Constitution, John, they have to be counted. The idea that Census Bureau administrators can arbitrarily decide not to count certain people is legally dubious and probably unconstitutional.
But the second point to make, I think, is that the census is more than just about reapportioning members of Congress. It's also going to determine federal funds, some $3 trillion in the allocation of federal funds over the next 10 years. Why should border states, who are bearing the brunt of these illegal immigrants, be punished for the federal government's inability to take care of our illegal immigration problem?
Gigot: He has a point, Dan. I mean, Jason says, look, if the people are in the states and they have to pay for the people who are in these states for services whether they're illegal or not, they should be allowed to have that counted because they'll have access to the money.
Henninger: Well, you know, I think, Jason, though, what you're suggesting is something of an abstraction. As a practical matter, the Census Bureau could–
Gigot: Money isn't an abstraction.
Henninger: No, but counting people is real. You have to–the census goes out and takes a physical, in-place head count of the sort we were showing in the video on the screen. You don't mean to think they're going to go out and knock on the doors where the illegal immigrants live and they're going to answer the door and say, "Oh, yeah, I'm be happy to fill this census form"–when they're in hiding? So then it leads you to something we've talked about on this program before called statistical sampling, in which you use statistics to sort of estimate how many people are, which is what a lot of groups representing blacks, Hispanics, even Japanese, have wanted the Census Bureau to do. And they've resisted for years because it's just an inaccurate account.
Riley: And the current director says he won't do that.
Henninger: And this leads to a complete morass if you start trying to count people who are in hiding.
Fund: Paul, and the current Census Bureau director is someone who originally started this sampling process, so he's very much in favor of it. In addition–
Gigot: But he said–wait a minute, John.
Riley: He said, on the record, that he wouldn't do it, John.
Gigot: He has said, on the record, that he will not do it.
Fund: As far as I know, and from my sources inside the Census Department, they are preparing to use sampling techniques next year.
Gigot: John, let me ask you about the constitutional argument here. Eugene Volokh, a conservative constitutional scholar, among others, agrees with Jason and says, Look, if you're going to change and you want to count only citizens, then you've got to have to have a constitutional amendment, because the 14th Amendment says what it says.
Fund: Well, what has been done in the past is you've had two separate numbers, one that could be used, in theory, to apportion the money that these border states, for example, have to bear costs from illegal aliens, and the other to reapportion the House districts. So I think you can do something that I think preserves the original intent of the Constitution and also takes into account the need for federal money to be allocated fairly.
Gigot: Well, but in terms of the allocation of representation, the small states are already–are overrepresented by population in the Senate, so they do get, regardless of the census count, a fairly good representation in the United States.
Fund: But the distortions are now becoming so large. If California has nine more congressmen and -women than it's allowed normally, that's an enormous distortion of our political process. And it's no longer a small one we can ignore.
Riley: I doubt that nine–that California's going to get nine more congressman, John, I think other indications show there's been a lot of outmigration from California and Northeastern states as well.

Comedian, voice actor and television producer Seth Green isn't just the star of Nintendo's Dragon Quest IX commercial, he's also a client, or at least well-coached on the game's merits, as demonstrated in this video clip.
We posted the commercial yesterday, and I have to agree with McWhertor here - it really works. Green is truly believable as a RPG gamer, and despite being 36 years old, doesn't come off as creepy hanging around with high school girls.
I would have been arrested in seconds flat.
Now Nintendo passes us this behind-the-scenes video, showing us that Seth knows Dragon Quest IX and isn't afraid to show it. It's likely coached, but the man sure speaks eloquently about gaming, doesn't he?

Leaked memo shows Donald Trump's landslide win in Florida
Leaked memo shows Donald Trump's landslide win in Florida, a fiercely contested battleground state.
1. Introduction.
A leaked internal memo (Aug 13, 2016) by Public Policy Polling, a left-wing outfit specializing in lots of push-polling and other Democrat electioneering disguised as opinion surveys, shows Donald Trump is winning by a landslide in Florida, in complete contrast to many published poll results, presumably including its own. It has been suspected all along that most, if not all, the pre-election polling conducted by the dishonest, corrupt mainstream media were intentionally biased. Fortunately, just as the collusion of the dishonest, corrupt mainstream media (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, Politic0, Washington Post, etc.) with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was exposed by the leaked Wikileaks emails, their intentionally biased polling was also exposed by leaked internal memos, including one date Aug 13, 2016, that has never been intended to be released to the American public in its raw form.
Based on information from the leaked memo, a record high of 91% of registered Republican voters versus a record low of 17% registered Democratic voters declare themselves as "likely" to vote in Election 2016, and Trump's supporters gives him %80 approval level while Hillary's supporters gives her only %17 approval level (See Question 12).
However, Published polling data for similar time period (Aug 10, 2016 to Aug 15, 2016) from Monmouth University shows Hillary leading 48 to 39, from CBS News/ YouGov shows Hillary leading 45 to 40, and Fox shows Hillary leading 45 to 44. Are these numbers authentic or fake? Please read the memo in its entirety, including the frantic comments from its author, and be your own judge!
(Click to enlarge)
Dishonest, traitorous, anti-America, anti-Trump, pro-globalist, pro-Hillary CNN (aka Clinton News Network), part of the corrupt mainstream media, has strictly become the Muslim propaganda machine and the mouthpiece for the Islamofascists and the globalists.

August 10-12, 2016.
Survey of 715 Florida voters.
<The sample size could be larger to stabilize correlation or increase predictive accuracy of the survey>
STRATEGY IMPLICATIONS: It is of paramount importance that the Hillary Clinton campaign continue to promote the narrative that Trump is or has reached terminal levels in polling. The only number in this survey going in the right direction is the belief that Mr. Trump will lose the election.
This, however, will not be sufficient if his voter's morale and enthusiasm are high<Any demoralized Trump supporter spotted anywhere?>. As we have seen, purchasing 'Republican Disapproval,' both from former policy makers and from the '#NeverTrump' press-faction continues to be effective in convincing voters that Mr. Trump could be dangerous <Likely not anymore after the leak!>.
Liberal/Democratic voters are fortunately immune to any negative information or evidence against Mrs. Clinton. Apparently her lack of honesty and corrupt nature are "factored in" to her support<Perhaps because Hillary Clinton and many of her supporters likely share common sociopathic traits, as previously described>. Our recommendations are to keep her out of the public eye as much as possible<good luck!> and, potentially, use a body-double for activities such as driving or climbing stairs<be careful, it's getting into fraudulent territory> should these be in the public eye.
The Media is doing all it can to help Mrs. Clinton <At least CNN has confirmed, and so did the public with its eye> and, as such, Mr. Trump has had difficulties in promoting his message and brand but this cannot be reliably continued over the next three months <or two, or one … >.
Biased, corrupt CNN admits to being the biggest promoters of Hillary Clinton's campaign.
Dishonest, corrupt CNN & MSNBC timely cut reporters & guest speakers out of video feeds on live national TV to protect Hillary Clinton by suppressing the truth.
Visibly upset Donald Trump's supporter to CNN reporters: "I am a patriot and you are traitors!" Kissimmee, Florida. Aug 12, 2016.
It is our conclusion that a polling-driven narrative can only go so far with rallies, yard-signs, and digital media indicators, all of which show a substantial and even overwhelming body of support for Mr. Trump.
§ While a candidate's poor handling of sensitive information was an across-the-board detractor for Republicans and Independents, it actually made some Democrats more likely to vote for the candidate.
§ For FBI charges of corruption, theft, or even murder, this increased the candidates standing across Democratic voters. Being indicted by the FBI could be beneficial to Hillary for her base. <Birds of the same feather (or weasels of same fur?) flock together, indeed!>. It was, however, absolutely toxic for Independents<or any decent human beings>.
§ Low trust in traditional media is causing a shift in data-sources that is
going to fracture the narrative badly <as it should be!>.
CONCLUSIONS: We have a set of target sample-weights from NS that will meet the sponsor's needs nicely. The question is going to be how far we can maintain this charade. It might be time to find other jobs …
Hillary's popularity numbers have crashed to fatal levels at %17 (11% undecided).
Trump's approval has increased dramatically with working minorities. He is up 12 points with African Americans and 32 points with Latinos. For minorities without employment, he is still underwater but has improved by 8 points.
Hillary's emails continue to be the largest source of her trust issues as well as concerns about her failing health. However, the number one factor in her decline has been exposure to her at the DNC. <If so, why did her polls show a post-DNC bounce? Oh wait, nevermind>72% of Democrats and 93% of Republicans find her voice "grating." Independents are split 64-36 against her<Maybe that's why Bill tried to escape by sleeping through her speech?>.
Bill Clinton sleeps through Hillary Clinton's speech at Democratic National Convention (DNC). Philadelphia. Jul 28, 2016.
4. Trump is expected to win the election by 94% of Democrats—but only 34% of Republicans believe Mr. Trump most likely to win due to media messaging <Apparently, even Democrats don't believe the BS from Democrats-run media probably because they know their own crap too well>. Despite this, the enthusiasm for Mr. Trump is high with a record 91% of registered [Republican?] voters declaring themselves "likely" whereas a record low of 17% registered Democratic voters have declared themselves "likely" to vote in the next election <parallel with relative sizes of rallies and online participation. Average crowd size of Trump rallies is 10,000 to 20,000. That of Hillary is 200 to 1,000>.
3. Analysis.
The document shows planned, intentional manipulation of PPP pre-election poll, and that while the specific post-manipulation data from this survey are not yet known, the pre-manipulation, raw data indicate that Donald Trump's numbers are rising substantially while those of Hillary Clinton are collapsing!
Why the fake polls? The Islamofascists, the globalists, and their puppets, including Hillary Clinton and the Democrats, all enemies of America, want American patriots and Trump's supporters to feel sufficiently discouraged and demoralized by the pre-election fake poll results, mistakenly thinking that their votes would not count nor make a difference when their candidate, Donald Trump, was already so far behind and not having any remote chance to win, so that they would not show up at the voting stations to cast their ballots for Donald Trump by Election Day on November 8, 2016.
Americans increasingly distrust dishonest, corrupt, agenda-filled mainstream media (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, Washington Post, New York Times, Politico, Huffington Post, etc.) and start using alternative news sources (Brietbart, HeatStreet, Weekly Standard, National Review, InfoWars, News Max, World News Daily, etc.) more and more.
How many times have Conservatives scratched their heads and wondered who on earth could possibly supported such a corrupt, immoral candidate like Mrs. Hillary Clinton with a horrendous track record and under multiple simultaneous FBI criminal investigations for U.S. Presidency? The answer is provided in this survey, indeed. It's not due individual lack of intelligence, but a collective lack of a moral yardstick. It's not due to the ignorance of facts and law & order, but rather the acceptance and approval of evilness and chaos. It's not due to the lack of insights to higher principles, but rather the submissions to self-interests and the lowest common denominator.
The lies, deceptions, propaganda, fact-twisting, and mis-characterization spread by the corrupt, dishonest mainstream media have actually produced result for them by successfully convincing the Republican voters with their intentionally biased pre-election polls that their supporting candidate will not win. However, if the affected voters plan to cast their votes by November, as they most likely will based on the measured level of enthusiasm, regardless of the pre-election polls, neutral or biased, all indications point to a landslide win in Florida, traditionally a battleground state, or "Purple State", by Donald Trump.
Contributed to the predicted overwhelming victory are Republican voters' enthusiasm and Donald Trump's operational preparedness, such as opening of 23 RNC "Victory Offices" (in the process of opening 25 field offices) in the Sunshine State, as part of his outreach effort to open field offices in all 50 states, including traditional Blue States, traditionally Democrats' strongholds.
4. Conclusion.
Just as the "media message" and falsehood-spreading stratagems from the dishonest pollsters and corrupt mainstream media hired by DNC and Hillary Clinton's campaign have worked by successfully convincing the Republican voters that Hillary Clinton is winning the Presidential race, Donald Trump's genuine and authentic messages have resonated with his supporters and substantially increased their loyalty and enthusiasm to elect him as the next President of the United States. With 29 electoral votes and as a battleground state, Florida can very well determine the outcome of perhaps the most critical election in U.S. history in the time of threatening global instability brought on by the globalists, Islamofascists, and their dhimmi minions.
5. Recommendations.
Donald Trump's supporters can simply ignore the fake polls conducted by the dishonest pollsters as well as the falsehood constantly promulgated by the shamelessly corrupt, brazenly traitorous mainstream media while continuing listening, understanding, spreading, and explaining The Donald's policies and messages to others still skeptical. Together, American patriots can energize, re-calibrate, and solidify their convictions of casting ballots for the right Presidential candidate, who is unequivocally and unquestionably Mr. Donald Trump by all contests. The honest doubters with morals, Independents, and former Bernie supporters, should understand that Donald Trump might or might not be the perfect candidate, but the alternative to a Donald Trump's Presidency is a Hillary Clinton's Presidency which is synonymous with the immediate or eventual destruction of America, and perhaps the world, just based on her own track record of following orders from the globalists and Islamofascists, creating and assisting ISIS that has tortured and killed millions of Christians, Yazadis, and non-Muslims in the Middle East, all in exchange for more wealth and power.

This recipe turned out great. I used regular ketchup since I didn't have any spicy ketchup on hand. Also used pork ribs and not the baby backs.
May 25, 2011
For several years I have not been able to make ribbs or chicken without the family wanting this sauce.
May 8, 2011
The sauce is absolutely delicious! When I make it, I usually double the recipe and use it for when I grill chicken. The only thing I do different is bake my ribs in a pan tightly covered with aluminum foil at 300 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours and then grill them for 20 minutes basting with the sauce. They are fall-off-the-bone delicious!

I got this recipe from this taste of home subscription I get every 2 months. The first time I tried this recipe, myself and the crowd I made them for was crazy over them. They were eaten instantly with regret there wasnt more to share. I make this for lots of occassions and there isnt one rib left ever. I would reccommend this with out a doubt. I only change a couple of things to work better for me. I use chili sauce in place of the ketchup to tone down the kick a bit. I also cook the ribs first in a electric roaster on low untl the ribs fall off the bone, then I let them cool. I place them on Tinfoil, then dump the sauce over the ribs, wrap them up and put them on the grill for about 10 mins a side. Finger licking good. thank so much for sharing this recipe. I also freeze very well this way for occassions down the road. They take awhile to make. So do them again and freeze them

A trip to Kauai, one of the most beautiful islands which makes up Hawaii, could be the family holiday of a lifetime. Also known as the "Garden Isle" with over 50 miles of beaches and scenery which ranges from canyons to waterfalls and wooded valleys, the island has something for everyone, of every age. With such a diverse and beautiful island, to check into a sterile hotel would be pointless. To fully experience life on Kauai, investigate a villa, cottage or apartment rental for your holiday accommodation.
Kauai is an incredibly diverse island, and you can find just about every activity you can think of somewhere. You can play golf at Kauai Lagoons Golf Club near Kalapaki Beach, or catch some surf. You can go to Kilauea Lighthouse for some whale watching, or explore the staggering Napali Coast. This 17 mile stretch of coastline full of wooded valleys and staggering 3,000 foot cliffs can't be reached by car, so you need to either take a helicopter tour, a boat tour or just hike if your feet are up to it. The inaccessibility of this natural beauty spot is probably the main reason it has remained so unspoiled, and it is well worth the effort. If your family is keen on water sports, you can also go snorkeling off Poipu Beach, or take a kayak down the Wailua River. The most adventurous family members can even enjoy ziplining over some of the lush wooded valleys of Kauai!
Kauai has a wide range of choices for holiday rentals. Depending on whether you'd rather be in town sampling the nightlife of Coconut Coast or Lihue, or getting away from it all out in the countryside, there are a wide range of rental apartments and cottages catering to a range of budgets. Whether you are looking for a cottage or an apartment for your holiday rental accommodation, however, it will work out better vaue than a hotel, with cottages within ten minutes of Lihue Airport working out at just over $1,000 a week for a family of four. Quite apart from the money saving aspect, renting cottages in this way can give the children a taste of the real culture and lifestyle of both Kauai and Hawaii as a whole.

The Future of this Forum:
The Inkscape Project opened its first official forum on its website this month (August 2019). https://inkscape.org/forums/ In an effort to combine all the different forums into one, this forum will no longer be accepting new members or new messages. However, it will remain open for a little while, for existing members, to have access to their contents, if they need them.
Any potential new members should register on the new forum, and post their message there. There is a special board for questions about using Inkscape for cutting machines (of all kinds). (https://inkscape.org/forums/cutplot/)
If you have any questions or comments (and you're an existing member) you can post them here.
Although I've been planning to put this forum in read-only mode, at the time of this transition, unfortunately, my personal circumstances have changed, and I won't be able to host this forum much longer. I'm not sure about the time frame. It could be as soon as the end of 2019, or as long as a year from now. If anyone is interested in taking it over, please contact me.

Three Hierarchs Chapel
A proper tour of St. Vladimir's Seminary should begin with the chapel, which serves as the center of the Seminary's life and purpose. Three Hierarchs Chapel—whose patrons are the three holy hierarchs Ss. Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom—is where the Seminary gathers for prayer and participates in communal worship, with services following the daily, weekly, and yearly liturgical cycles of the Church.
The Kunett Auditorium is located in the chapel undercroft and is used for social functions.

Antivirus can introduce dangerous network security holes into any OS
AV software is one of the most basic security steps available. It's also yet another gateway for security breaches.
Dangerous flaws abound in most, if not all, applications, but experts say those that hit hardest are found in security products designed to protect you -- in this case antivirus. Research shows that these flaws often require no user interaction -- regardless of operating system -- and privilege level is typically high: system, root or even kernel.
So far this year, independent security researcher Alex Wheeler has uncovered security bugs in Symantec,
"It's important to note these AV bugs were reachable by default [normal installations] and required no interaction from the user to exploit them, which is the best scenario for an attacker," said Wheeler, who spoke about his discoveries during this summer's Black Hat Briefings in Las Vegas. "In many of the high-risk bugs being published today in client software -- for example Internet Explorer, iTunes and Mozilla -- the attacker must entice a user to do something in order to exploit the flaw, like view an image, listen to a song or visit a Web page."
AV programs typically run with high privileges, including system, root or even kernel, Wheeler said. This allows an attacker to basically do anything at will, including:
- installing a rootkit to spy on the users of the system and execute programs without being detected;
- exploiting any trusted relationships with other systems to compromise them as well, which is extremely useful when the AV library is running on a gateway system protecting an entire enterprise or ISP network;
- stealing passwords, financial data, etc.; and
- modifying or remove existing data, like an e-mail or document sent to the user.
"These bugs were in core libraries that the vendors used in all their AV products," Wheeler said. Working with Internet Security Systems researcher Neel Mehta, the duo realized the severity of the situation. "So the bugs affected any AV product the vendor was selling, which for larger vendors was sometimes more than 30 different products. Further, these libraries run on pretty much any modern OS: Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac, etc. So it's not just Windows systems that are vulnerable, even though Windows systems account for the majority of virus risk."
Why AV is vulnerable
"AV engines are made so they scan all the data before the user even has a chance to do anything with it, which from an attacker's perspective is exactly what you want," Wheeler said. "You want to be able to trigger a vulnerability without the user having to do anything. These bugs require nothing from the user. It's the antivirus itself that exposes them."
According to Wheeler, the AV engine has to mimic any application that creates files on a computer, like Microsoft Office programs. But it has to enforce more error conditions than the actual product does, identifying bad files and corrupt data. If you put an exploit or any malicious code in a file the virus engine will identify it as a bad file and decide not to scan it any further, but the application will still open it and process it. Wheeler said any differences between how AV handles those sorts of files and how the actual application handles it are potentially exploitable because the exact functionality has to be mimicked, not just something close to it.
"I think it's a natural inclination for AV developers to put more checks in their products than other applications do because they want to be secure. Application developers may not have thought of putting in checks for all those types of conditions," Wheeler said. "The end result is the product will be less strict than the AV engine."
Colliding file formats
And the problem doesn't end there. Wheeler said that because Microsoft Office applications all use slightly different internal structures and storage areas for file formats, an attacker might be able to make such a file also look like an executable. If both formats can be matched, the AV engine has to make a decision on which format to scan first -- something he says AV vendors haven't planned. An attacker could use this technique to evade detection.
"Using a security product is supposed to protect you -- not hurt you -- so having flaws in it kind of defeats the purpose," Wheeler concluded. "I think we're just scratching the surface with AV flaws right now."

12. Document specifications
13. Other Documents: MIT's Specifications for Thesis Preparation, etc.
The Institute publishes an online document, Specifications for Thesis Preparation outlining detailed rules for theses. Be careful when using it to distinguish between the more stringent requirements for Ph.D. theses and those for the M.Eng. thesis. We also recommend The Mayfield Handbook.
14. Writing an Abstract,
You must include an abstract right after your title page, which includes your thesis title, your name, your thesis supervisor, the degree and the date (see the sample in Appendix C). Those students who found it difficult to get their thesis title short enough should have no difficulty writing an abstract. Start by writing out a full title, with all the adjectives and phrases you cut from the title. Describe your methods or procedures in a couple of sentences, and your conclusions or results in another sentence or two. It should be no longer than 150 words. It may be helpful to refer back to your Thesis Proposal.
15. Word Processors, Printers, and Paper
- Wordprocessing. Students generally wordprocess their theses themselves, rather than having someone prepare them. Most theses go through many draft versions, with minor and major revisions. Supervisors won't accept handwritten material at any stage. Please note that the "Course VI" thesis documents online are NOT official or correct, especially for the title page. Check to be sure that your title page is exactly like the one in section 26 or section 27. And DO BACKUPS!
- Printers. There are lots of printers around MIT (such as those in the Athena Clusters) that produce excellent copy. CopyTech has a thesis printer that uses acid-free paper. Whatever printer you plan to use, don't wait until just hours before the deadline, when you haven't slept in a week, to find an alternative. Have a contingency plan ready.
- Double-sided Printing. Theses should generally be doubled-sided, including all prefatory material, but single-sided will be accepted.
- Paper. The two original copies that you submit must be on acid-free paper. [Acid-free paper is often indicated by an infinity symbol.] There are thesis printers that use this kind of paper. Otherwise, you can obtain water-marked acid-free paper at University Stationery on Mass. Ave. or the Coop, and put it in your printer for the final few copies.
- Type. Font size should be between ten and twelve, and the bulk of the paper should not be single-spaced, although peripheral parts like the abstract, title page, acknowledgments, and appendices should be single-spaced. All print must be dark black (not gray or any other color).
- Margins. There must be at least one-inch margins on the top and bottom and both sides, with all text, charts, photographs, and code INSIDE the margins. This includes appendices of code (try using a copier to reduce material to make it fit). Lack of control over your formatter (TEX or LATEX, for example) is NOT an excuse for failure to adhere to these rules. Find assistance from on-line consultants, friends, or SIPB. For pages of code, remember that there are good quality photocopiers available that will reduce your code so that it fits within the margins.
- Format. While no specific format is required, it is important to structure your paper clearly and logically. Use the Mayfield Guide or your favorite guide to technical writing.
- Corrections. Do not use correction fluid; hand corrections and labels are never permitted.
- Figures. Charts, tables, and graphs should be capable of being photocopied clearly, and may not be hand-labeled. No material may be taped or glued to pages. Color figures are permitted, but must make sense when photocopied in black and white. (Please check).
- Supplementary Media. You may submit supplementary media with your thesis, but the written part must make sense by itself.
16. Title Page, Copyright, and Patenting
Make your title page look EXACTLY like the sample one in section 26 of this guide. Use the name "Dennis M. Freeman" for the third signature, precisely as shown. Check that this title is as shown, as online templates are incorrect. If you own the copyright, copyright your thesis by placing a copyright notice on the title page, with your name and the year, as shown on the sample in section 26. The author must, as a condition of the degree, grant nonexclusive permission to the Institute to reproduce and distribute publicly copies of the thesis. A statement to this effect must appear on the title page. (See the sample title page in section 26.) You must submit correct title pages. If MIT holds the copyright, grant it to MIT and omit the permissions sentence.
VI-A students must have an extra line on the thesis title page for their company thesis supervisor's name and signature, (See section 27) and MIT holds the copyright on all VI-A theses.
If you hold the copyright and wish to register your copyright (certainly a good idea if you're planning to use your thesis for commercial purposes), contact the Research and Intellectual Property Office for assistance. Use the date on which you hope to submit the document and don't worry too much about that date.
Patent Holds: Your thesis can be held until a specific date not more than three months from your thesis submission date. Requests for longer periods must be reviewed and approved by the Vice President for Research and Associate Provost (Room 3-234).

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Yakkety yak: Men talk just as much as women!
Q. Why are women such big talkers? Or are they? –J. Rivers
A. You'd certainly think so based on media reports putting them at 20,000 words per day vs. only 7,000 for men, even though not a single study has systematically recorded the natural conversations of large groups of people, say Matthias Mehl and colleagues in Science magazine. A British study estimated the numbers at 8,800 vs. 6,100, though its authors admitted a possible flaw in that participants could manually turn off their recorders whenever they chose to.
Then Mehl introduced electronically activated recorders that track real-world minute-to-minute interactions, turning on every 12.5 minutes for 30-second talk samples. And here, averaged over six groups of university students– five U.S and one Mexico– the women spoke about 16,200 words per day, the men 15,700, which is not a statistically significant difference. In other words, both average about 16,000 words per day, though with very large individual differences.
"Thus we conclude on the basis of available empirical evidence that the widespread and highly publicized stereotype about female talkativeness is unfounded," Mehl writes.
Q. You've no doubt encountered this word countless times, having read it, spoken it, written it, heard it. Sure would be nice if you successfully identified this common adjective. –P. Roget
A. Nice it is, from Right, Wrong, and Risky: A Dictionary of Today's American English Usage, by Mark Davidson. It's a kind of "shaggy, all-purpose" term, though originally signifying "simple-minded, stupid" (c. 1290), from the Latin for "ignorant, not knowing."
In the 14th century, Chaucer used it to mean "wanton, licentious," then from the 15th to the 18th century, it took on the sense of "coy, reserved, diffident." In the 16th century, it acquired two still current senses, "fussy" and "precise." In the 18th century, the word began its modern career as a compliment that damns with faint praise, meaning "agreeable, pleasant, courteous, considerate."
Q. What's the slick trick to passing a solid wire through a solid piece of ice, without applying heat or using legerdemain? This is one even the great Harry Houdini might have appreciated. –J. Frost
A. You put the ice under pressure, thereby reducing its melting point, then remove the pressure and the ice refreezes, a process called "regelation," says Alain Hache in The Physics of Hockey. To do this, take a long ice
block supported at both ends and hang on it two weights, connected by a thin wire. Because of pressure melting, the ice under the wire liquefies, allowing the wire to cut into it. As the wire passes through, the water above it is no longer under pressure and refreezes instantly. "The result is a wire that seems to magically penetrate the solid ice," Hache writes. "Eventually the wire cuts completely through and the masses fall away, leaving the ice block intact. Yes, Houdini certainly would have been impressed!"
Q. Are you Shakespearean scholar enough to decode this one: "In one of the bard's best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten." –S. Colley
A. It'll take some checking, but this is an anagram for the opening of Hamlet's famous soliloquy, "To be or not to be, that is the question, whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," says Richard Wiseman in Quirkology: How We Discover the Big Truths in Small Things. Given the large number of combinations of letters in the words, and the huge amount of text in plays and books, it's not surprising (by the "law of large numbers") that once in a while amazing anagrams do emerge. "What is perhaps more surprising is that some people are prepared to invest significant amounts of their time looking for them," Wiseman says.

Do some kinds of shellfish
live past the outgrowing of their shells?
Is there the possibility for them
Of easing out slowly
from the constraining tightness?
Such a beautiful shell
spiral bound, glistening with stars.
Is there a shellfish
that releases it's hold
and slides free
into the weightless wonder
of the moving tides,
Homeless in the immensity?
What wonder
To feel this easing in the human experience.
The unhooking from the moorings
The smooth glide out into the total vulnerability
with the willingness to be another's dinner
no more protection is needed
There is nothing to do
But find the current
And go.

Hi all!
I'm using an iGesture NumPad (firmware 1.6 on WinXP Pro SP2). Most of the time, the pad works as it should: two-finger pointing, index is left-button, pinkie is right, and thumb is middle. It's a new device, I bought it new only a few months ago, and it has worked fine until recently. I haven't done any obvious pc-setup changes or anything else that might damage the pad (transporting it, hitting it, etc.).
Once in a while it "flips" so that index is right-button, pinkie is left, and thumb is also right. It can start acting like this in the middle of a working session, so it's not static because I walk around, or some (un)intentional software configuration change. I just mouse around, and the next time I click, it does the wrong button. - I then need to work "left-handed"; using the pinkie for left instead.
- Checking the FW tools' Feature Selector, the "Thumb/Index/Pinky Clicking" is still "enabled outside game mode" and it is still set up with the proper fingers.
- Also, the settings to "swap left/right" and "swap middle/right" are OFF.
- Doing a "palm" gesture to reset it won't change anything; it just goes on being flipped.
- [ edit: ] the system diagnostics also don't show anything awry; firmware v1.6 is there and no bad sensors or such.
After some time, it may flip back to normal again, and leave me puzzled about the reason.
I don't know what to do to make this stop. How can I find out what's going on, and how can I prevent this from happening again?

Need something that evokes a feeling of cool software, easy, fun to use, and helpful. A little Skype-ish texture/look would be good too.
A sample (basic & blocky) logo provided for the basic idea. I like the color scheme and logo I've picked, but if you think you have better ideas, I'd sure like to see them.
Need something that evokes a feeling of cool software, easy, fun to use, and helpful. A little Skype-ish texture/look would be good too.
I like the color scheme and logo I've described, but if you think you have a better idea, I'd sure like to see them! Something basically as on the header of the current website, but with a more professional font / logo. Sample logo is at the top of this page http://www.headdetail.com. The current logo is essentially a light-blue arrow which swoops from the front of a person's head to the back. The arrow has the overall shape of a brain. I'd like this, or variations on this theme. The "person" in the icon could look more MSN-ish. Maybe that brain texture could show up in the arrow too?
The capitalization of HeadDetail is not decided. Feel free to experiment with that too.
- Delivery in a vector-based format. Either Photoshop PSD or Fireworks CS3 file, etc.
- Web 2.0 style logo / Skype style
- Prefer using green & light-blue. Other colors would be interesting to see (orange?)
- the graphic should be able to stand alone & also look good beside the text
- should look OK in both greyscale & color
- Prefer a logo that the graphic part can be used in an icon (i.e. still looks good when shrunk down)
- evokes imagery of memories & remembering people better
- nothing too complex (i.e. not too many parts)
- no fluorescent colors (the light blue on my example is supposed to be just a light blue)

I often run commands using subshells, and sometimes would like to have the subshells expanded before I run something.. This way I could verify what I'm doing, and possibly edit what's about to happen as well.
For example, how can I get the following command line to be expanded before I run it, so I can edit the results of the subshell?
$ find -name "test.txt"
$ mv $(!!) /tmp/new.txt
I'd like to see the subshell expanded before I run the command, like so:
$ mv /tmp/test.txt /tmp/new.txt
Is there some way to do this?


text: Print OverviewCongenital heart disease (congenital heart defect) is one or more abnormalities in your heart's structure that you're born with. This most common of birth defects can alter the way blood flows through your heart. Defects range from simple, which might cause no problems, to complex, which can cause life-threatening complications. Advances in diagnosis and treatment mean most babies who once died of congenital heart disease survive well into adulthood. However, signs and symptoms of the condition can occur in adults later in life, even those who had treatment as a child. If you have congenital heart disease you might need care throughout your life. Check with your doctor to determine how often you should be seen as an adult. Adult congenital heart disease: What patients and families should know Adult congenital heart disease care at Mayo Clinic Types Atrial septal defect (ASD) Atrioventricular canal defect Bicuspid aortic valve Coarctation of the aorta Congenital mitral valve anomalies Double-outlet right ventricle Ebstein anomaly Eisenmenger syndrome Hypoplastic left heart syndrome Long QT syndrome Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) Patent foramen ovale Pulmonary atresia Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septum defect Pulmonary valve stenosis Tetralogy of Fallot Total anomalous pulmonary venous return Transposition of the great arteries Tricuspid atresia Truncus arteriosus Vascular rings Ventricular septal defect (VSD) Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome SymptomsSome congenital heart defects cause no signs or symptoms. For some people, signs or symptoms occur later in life. They can recur years after you've had treatment for a heart defect. Common congenital heart disease symptoms you might have as an adult include: Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) A bluish tint to the skin, lips and fingernails (cyanosis) Shortness of breath Tiring quickly upon exertion Swelling of body tissue or organs (edema) When to see a doctor If you're having worrisome symptoms, such as chest pain or shortness of breath, seek emergency medical attention. If you have signs or symptoms of congenital heart disease or were treated for a congenital heart defect as a child, make an appointment to see your doctor. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic CausesResearchers aren't sure what causes most congenital heart disease, which develops in the womb. Heredity might play a role in some congenital heart disease. How the heart works The heart is divided into two chambers on the right and two on the left. To pump blood through the body, the heart uses its left and right sides differently. The right side of the heart moves blood to the lungs through certain blood vessels (pulmonary arteries). In the lungs, blood picks up oxygen and then returns to the left side through the pulmonary veins. The left side of the heart then pumps the blood through the aorta and out to the rest of the body. Congenital heart disease can affect any of the heart's structures, including valves, chambers, the wall of tissue that separates the chambers (septum) and arteries. Why congenital heart disease resurfaces in adulthood For some adults, problems with their heart defects arise later in life, even if treated in childhood. Repairing defects improves heart function, but might not make the heart completely normal. Even if the treatment you received in childhood was successful, a problem can occur or worsen as you age. It's also possible that problems in your heart, which weren't serious enough to repair when you were a child, have worsened and now require treatment. Then there are complications of childhood surgeries to correct congenital heart disease that can occur later, such as scar tissue in your heart that contributes to an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Risk factorsCertain environmental and genetic risk factors might play a role in the development of your heart defect, including: German measles (rubella). Your mother having had rubella while pregnant could have affected your heart development. Diabetes. Your mother having type 1 or type 2 diabetes might have interfered with the development of your heart. Gestational diabetes generally doesn't increase the risk of developing a heart defect. Medications. Taking certain medications while pregnant can cause congenital heart and other birth defects. They include isotretinoin (Amnesteem, Claravis, others), used to treat acne; and lithium, used to treat bipolar disorder. Drinking alcohol while pregnant also contributes to the risk of heart defects. Heredity. Congenital heart disease appears to run in families and is associated with many genetic syndromes. For instance, children with Down syndrome often have heart defects. Genetic testing can detect Down syndrome and other disorders during a baby's development. Smoking. A mother who smokes while pregnant increases her risk of having a child with a congenital heart defect. ComplicationsCongenital heart disease complications that might develop years after the initial treatment include: Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Arrhythmias occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats don't function properly, causing your heart to beat too fast, too slowly or irregularly. In some people, severe arrhythmias can cause sudden cardiac death if not treated. Heart infection (endocarditis). Your heart comprises four chambers and four valves, which are lined by a thin membrane called the endocardium. Endocarditis is an infection of this inner lining, which generally occurs when bacteria or other germs enter your bloodstream and lodge in your heart. Untreated, endocarditis can damage or destroy your heart valves or trigger a stroke. If you have an artificial (prosthetic) heart valve or your heart was repaired with prosthetic material, or if your heart defect wasn't completely repaired, your doctor might prescribe ongoing antibiotics to lower your risk of developing endocarditis. Stroke. Stroke occurs when the blood supply to a part of your brain is interrupted or severely reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen. A congenital heart defect can allow a blood clot to pass through your heart and travel to your brain. Certain heart arrhythmias also can increase your chance of blood clot formation leading to a stroke. Heart failure. Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, means your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs. Some types of congenital heart disease can lead to heart failure. Over time, certain conditions such as coronary artery disease or high blood pressure gradually sap your heart of its strength, leaving it too weak or too stiff to fill and pump efficiently. Pulmonary hypertension. This is a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in your lungs. Some congenital heart defects cause more blood to flow to the lungs, causing pressure to build and making your heart work harder. This eventually causes your heart muscle to weaken and sometimes to fail. Heart valve problems. In some types of congenital heart disease, the heart valves are abnormal.

By COLLEEN LEDDY
I don't read as frequently as I used to which is a sad situation for a woman who works in a library. Worse yet is choosing less than satisfying books so when I do have a little time to read I am stuck with something like "It Looked Different on the Model: Epic tales of impending shame and infamy."
That's the book I had on hand after completing "Schuyler's Monster" by Robert Rummel-Hudson. It's a memoir about dealing with his daughter's diagnosis of bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria (a very rare neurological disorder).
Somehow, after days of plowing through the agony of Robert coming to terms with his daughter's disorder and fighting for her right to proper educational services, "It Looked Different on the Model" just seems trite and shallow and hardly worth the time.
Maybe it's just the mood I've been in while reading, but Notaro's escapades in the dressing room trying to take off a blouse that's stuck on her head and to her arms just didn't make me laugh. And usually I find anybody stuck in their clothes funny.
Well, that's not altogether true. When I get my head stuck taking off a tight necked turtleneck, I get claustrophobic and start to yell and almost cry depending on how long I'm trapped. But when it's trying on Spandex body squeezers in the dressing room with my daughter Rosie, I laugh hysterically.
From Midnight Musings, April 30, 2008, a couple months before Rosie's wedding:
I shimmied and I struggled, and I tugged and I sucked, and I huffed and I puffed, but I still could not get that thing to go past my upper thigh. Flesh oozed out over the waistband in quantities I didn't even know existed. I was stuck at half mast, laughing uncontrollably at my predicament, thankful that the bathroom had been our first stop.
Rosie was laughing just as hard—until other customers entered the otherwise empty changing room. And then she went into silent laughter mode which just made me laugh harder every time I looked at her.
The sight of myself in the mirror was even funnier—half-naked cross-legged woman struggling to pull up an impossibly tight straight jacket device—and then Rosie came from behind and yanked it up, breaking the logjam.
"The package says it'll make you 10 pounds lighter in 10 seconds, but I think it took you a lot longer," she said.
That episode was probably one of the funniest in my life, ranking right up there with the bathing suit fiasco while on vacation with Rosie and Maddie six years ago.
From Midnight Musings, August 3, 2005:
On our last night in Puerto Rico, we stayed at the Hilton in San Juan. Maddie had found a great rate on the Internet and it was the perfect ending to the trip. After a late afternoon and evening in Old San Juan we hurried back to swim in the huge stunning pool. I hurried the girls along, since, for once, I was dressed first, clad in my new two-piece bathing suit (pink tank top, black bottoms) and bright blue sarong worn as a skirt.
Rosie and Maddie stepped into the pool first and as they told me how wonderful the water was, I undid the knot on my sarong and opened the cloth out from my body, ready to drop it on the lounge chair and walk into the pool.
With a look of shock, awe and amazement, Rozee pulled me up short.
"Mom! You're wearing your underwear!" she said. Sure enough, there I stood—pink bathing suit top and my big old white underpants...
But, back to the books...
So, imagine how excited I was to learn that David had finished the book he interloaned recently, "The Psychopath Test" by Jon Ronson, the same guy who wrote "The Men Who Stare at Goats," which was made into a movie. David had mentioned snippets here and there as he was reading it and it sounded intriguing.
How intriguing? So intriguing I read more than half of it Sunday night. I couldn't put it down. It's kind of the literary equivalent of choosing the wrong meal in a restaurant. David almost always orders the better meal and I sit there eyeing it with great regret all through dinner. His books are almost always better than mine. Or at least more surprisingly substantial and meaty.
Hmm, which should worry me more—that my funniest moments in life have to do with undergarments or that I work in a library and can't pick out satisfying books?
need help on the ending...
