Details of the 'Mega Conspiracy' Behind Megaupload
Some lively new details arrived today in the long saga of Megaupload, the file-sharing site whose founder, Kim Dotcom, is currently suing the New Zealand police while the U.S. government attempts to extradite him to face charges of criminal conspiracy.
The charges against the so-called Mega Conspiracy — what the Justice Department uses as shorthand for "a worldwide criminal enterprise, which operates and administers several Internet websites that reproduce and distribute infringing copies of copyrighted works" — include conspiracy to commit racketeering, copyright infringement, and money laundering. They were laid out in a 191-page summary of evidence released by the Justice Department today.
One interesting detail (among many) is the numbers for for Megavideo, the site's streaming video service.
More on this after the jump…

Last night, hundreds of journalists and members of New York's press freedom community met at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Manhattan for the Committee to Protect Journalists' XXI annual International Press Freedom Awards. At the event--celebrating the extraordinary courage of five journalists from across the globe--guests and award recipients unanimously expressed their commitment to fighting impunity in the murders of journalists.
During the evening, Brian Williams, anchor of "NBC Nightly News" and CPJ board member, spoke of the work that the organization has done since 2007 in its Global Campaign against Impunity, and called on the audience to take action on the eve of the International Day to End Impunity. Remembering the 554 journalists murdered since 1992 without prosecution, Williams said, "We owe it to them to fight to bring their killers to justice."
Thanks to generous donations of approximately $85,000 made last night--matched two to one by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation--CPJ will be able to unrelentingly continue that fight.
Among those honored at the 2011 CPJ awards were Javier Valdez Cárdenas and Umar Cheema, respectively from Mexico and Pakistan, two countries where journalists are routinely murdered and their killers go free. According to CPJ research, since 1992, 27 journalists have been killed in direct retaliation for their work in Mexico, and 41 in Pakistan.
One of those journalists murdered this year was Pakistani reporter Saleem Shahzad, whose tortured body was found on May 30, after he had reported on alleged links between Al-Qaeda and Pakistan's navy. Cheema dedicated his IPFA to Shahzad, his friend, and to all other colleagues killed in the line of duty and lost "in a culture of impunity."
A journalist with Islamabad's The News, Cheema was abducted in September by unknown assailants who stripped, beat, and photographed him in humiliating positions. But in keeping with Pakistan's record of near-perfect impunity in attacks against the press, his case remains unprosecuted and unsolved. Though grateful for the award, Cheema said it did not "mark an end of the troubles." The award," he said, "is a call for continuous struggle."
Valdez, founder of Ríodoce, a weekly that covers crime and corruption in Sinaloa, one of Mexico's most violent states, has also experienced colleagues from across Mexico disappearing or being killed without justice. In his acceptance speech last night, Valdez Cárdenas described Mexico as a country where "it is a danger to be alive and to do journalism." But, like Cheema, he expressed hope for what a united a front could do. "It is important to count on family and friends, journalists and media outlets," he said, grateful for his colleagues' support.
Today, on the International Day to End Impunity, journalists and press freedom groups from around the world are doing just that: standing united in a call for justice for their fallen friends. Today, we are remembering the 32 journalists executed in the southern Philippine town of Maguindanao exactly two years ago. And today, we are demanding that the governments of the Philippines, Pakistan, Mexico and all other countries where journalists are routinely murdered, take action, and prosecute and jail their killers.

BREVARD, N.C. – The King University women's soccer team opened the 2013 season at Brevard College and the Tornados took a lead in the first half. Brevard netted a pair of goals early in the second half to gain separation and take the 3-1 victory.
King (0-1) put pressure on the Tornados early in the game, but play shifted to the other end of the field in the 17th minute when Brevard (1-0) ripped three shots in a one minute span. After the first shot went wide, freshman goalkeeper Nicole Dagher recorded a save, and the final shot was stopped by the Tornado defense to keep the game scoreless.
Brevard then laced a couple more shots before they broke through in the 23rd minute as Sarah Fonger took a pass from Elena Crowe and netted her first goal of the season. Dagher registered two more saves later in the frame to keep the score 1-0 at the break.
The Tornados extended their lead 10 minutes into the second half, netting two goals in a three minute span to take a commanding 3-0 lead. The first goal came on a deflected shot from Kasi Benskin in the 56th minute, and the other came from Katherine Nickels on a fast break pass from Yuki Soga in the 59th minute.
King then put pressure on the Brevard defense, ripping four shots in a five minute stretch. Devon Shanklin may have had the best opportunity to score as she took a penalty kick that was saved by Brevard goalkeeper Brittany Webster to start the spurt. Rachel Thorpe then took back-to-back shots that were both stopped by the Brevard defense in the 64th minute.
The pressure finally paid off in the 89th minute as Shalisa Barnett scored her first career goal. Barnett took a free kick from the top of the box, and buried the shot to get King on the board. However, it wasn't enough as Brevard took the 3-1 victory.
"I am disappointed with result, we didn't match Brevard's intensity throughout the game," head coach Simon Duffy said. "We moved the ball well in the opening 20 minutes, but after that, passes were off and we were second to every ball. Hopefully we can show up in the home opener on Saturday against Bluefield College."
Brevard outshot King 15-9 in the victory while King had four corner kicks to Brevard's one. Dagher registered seven saves in her first career start, and Barnett accounted for King's lone goal. Paula Doran registered her first career assist on Barnett's goal.
King will look to rebound on Saturday in their home opener when they host Bluefield College. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:00 p.m., at Parks Field on the campus of King University. King will provide both live stats and live video with both links being found on KingTornado.com.

Rains a Welcome Change for Troubled Rio Grande
July 12, 2004
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists have rushed to take advantage of the situation by stocking more than a million fish in Amistad and Falcon reservoirs this spring and summer, seizing the chance to rebuild drought-plagued fisheries while the lakes are full.
Last June, the surface area of Falcon Lake near Laredo was 22,318 acres, according to the International Boundary and Water Commission office at Falcon Dam. In late June, the lake surface covered 62,822 acres, nearly three times bigger than it was a year ago.
TPWD has so far stocked about 663,000 Florida largemouth bass and 174,000 native northern bass fingerlings at Falcon earlier this year. At Amistad Reservoir this year, TPWD has stocked 552,000 Florida bass and 42,000 northern bass. All of this is designed to take advantage of recent rainfall that has filled up lake arms and creeks that have been dry for years, areas that provide important fish habitat.
Most of the stocked fish are 1.5-inch fingerlings that should grow to legal, catchable size within 1-2 years. However, TPWD has also stocked hundreds of larger broodfish weighing 5-8 pounds each to help jumpstart lake fisheries.
The locals recall the "good old days" at Lake Falcon and back it up with yellowed Polaroids on tackle shop walls. For two years running during the mid-90s, this massive 87,000-acre reservoir was ranked by TPWD as the number one bass tournament lake in Texas; better than Lake Fork or Sam Rayburn or Toledo Bend.
By 1997, in the midst of what turned out to be a 10-year drought, Falcon's reputation and water level were dropping rapidly. In the summer of 2002 this once mighty impoundment was sitting 54 feet below normal pool level and covered only 13,000 acres. Even if you wanted to go fishing on Falcon, chances were slim you'd be able to access the water at all since most of the boat ramps were high and dry.
The recovery brings new hope from anglers and state fisheries biologists that Falcon could reclaim its glory days.
"While the lake was down we saw all kinds of plant regrowth along the shoreline and when the water increased, that created new habitat," said Jimmy Dean, TPWD's fisheries biologist for Falcon Lake. "It's creating in essence a new lake."
In this unusually wet year, the future looks bright for the border reservoirs, but biologists are cautious about long-term predictions. They point out that the lake levels could drop quickly if dry times return and water is released for downstream irrigation and municipal use.
"They should be catching a lot of smaller fish [at Falcon] and in three years will hopefully be back to catching big fish," Dean noted. "We'll keep our fingers crossed that we continue to get some rain. The need for water can sure come on in a hurry."
Besides Amistad and Falcon, rains have also filled reservoirs on the river's Mexican side, such as El Cuchillo, which delivers water to the densely populated Lower Rio Grande basin.
In the river itself, swift-moving rainwater has done a great service by flushing out huge, floating mats of exotic (non-native) water weeds such as water hyacinth, which suck up and waste water through evapotranspiration. For miles along some stretches of the lower Rio, these aquatic exotics had become so thick they were actually blocking the flow of river water.
"Everything from the tiny invertebrates and filter feeders all the way up through the water column to the big predators like bass are breeding and increasing their numbers [because of the rainwater]," said Ismael "Smiley" Nava, TPWD's borderlands biologist, a new position created last year with federal State Wildlife Grants funding.
But Nava also adds a cautionary note: even if water quantity is higher, water quality remains an issue.
"Regarding water pollution, the saying "the solution to pollution is dilution" has some application herethe rains helped," Nava said.
"But there are still border towns in Mexico that don't have the ability or infrastructure to treat their wastewater or don't treat it very effectively. Nuevo Laredo has a relatively new water treatment plant that effectively treats about 25 million gallons of wastewater daily and has the capacity to treat more. However, because border cities like Nuevo Laredo are expanding so fast, collection lines to service outlying areas have not kept up with that growth."
"As a result," says Nava, "some untreated water is finding its way into the Rio Grande. The good news is that the river has a natural but limited capacity to treat or stabilize pollutants on its way downstream to the Gulf of Mexico. This cleansing is dependent on the pollution sources, length and flow of the river, microbes in the water and other factors."
And when it comes to having enough water, Nava also remains cautious.
"Even though we've had one good year of rain, the last 10 haven't been that great. It's an over-appropriated river. If everyone with a water right permit asked for their allotted volume of water, we wouldn't get a drop past Brownsville."
River water getting "past Brownsville" is important, because it involves the future of the Rio Grande estuary where the river meets the sea.
The good news is "pulses" of floodwater have not only flushed out exotic plants, they've also reestablished the river channel to the estuary, which made headlines several years ago when it dried up to the point that the river no longer reached the ocean. But intermittent pulses are not the key to long-term estuarine health.
"When you have more dependable river inflows, you're going to have good production of commercially important species such as white shrimp and finfish like black drum, red drum and snook," said Randy Blankinship, TPWD coastal fisheries biologist in Brownsville.
"Ecologically speaking, you have production of forage species like striped mullet and croaker, the species the predator fish feed upon. We need to maintain an optimal salinity regime, don't want too little or too much fresh water. We need sustained, dependable river inflow."
Nava, Blankinship and others stress that now, in a wet year, is the time to make plans for future droughts.
"Even though we're getting all that [fresh water], this is not a time to put all our planning efforts on the shelf," Blankinship said. "Now's the time to stick to our guns and continue with planning so that the next time we have a drought, we're in good shape."
Rio Grande inflow studies are in planning stages, research that should provide numbers about the amount of freshwater needed to keep the estuary functioning.
"The next step is to figure out how to provide those flows and inflows, which will be difficult on the Rio Grande because it's over-appropriated, so we're going to have to be innovative," Blankinship said.
"It should be possible to build into water policy provisions various methods of taking into account the effects of drought, such as with the Nueces River, so that you have a variable schedule of water releases where water is provided to the extent that water is available. You're not only saving water in reservoirs for human health and agriculture, but also providing water for estuaries that provide important commercial and recreational benefits for people. The goal is trying to maintain a balance there."

The Anisotropic World
What is the design of our Universe? Why it is not things that are important but the symmetry principles? What is the origin of the inconceivable effectiveness of mathematics in natural science? Is there any scientific proof of the Pythagoras idea that everything is number? These and other questions confront the authors of the educational film "Anisotropic World". The answers could be probably found in substituting the usual space-time geometry by the Finsler one in which, speaking figuratively, the analogue of the Pythagoras theorem deals not with the squares of cathetuses and hypothenuses but with the fourth powers of them. The points of view of professional physicists united by the wish to find a natural extension of Einstein's relativity theory which would not contradict the latter's concepts are also presented in the film. In a sense, it is the continuation of the film "Geometry of the Universe from different view points", and also the popular exposition of the research which could be partially found on http://www.polynumbers.ru, http://www.hyper-complex.ru

NM 3rd case of the plague this year reported
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico Department of Health has confirmed the third human case of the plague this year.
They say it's a 52-year-old man from Santa Fe County and his home will undergo an environmental investigation.
Plague is a bacterial disease of rodents and is generally transmitted to humans through the bites of infected fleas.
It can also be transmitted by direct contact with infected animals including rodents, wildlife and pets.
The first two human plague cases in New Mexico this year were in 15-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl.
Authorities say both Torrance County residents have recovered.
There was one human plague case in New Mexico last year, two in 2011 and no cases in 2010.
In 2009, there were six cases of the plague and one person died.

Glenwood Veterinary Clinic has provided services to Glenwood Springs and the western slope of Colorado since 1936. From a one-man country practice we have evolved into an 4 veterinarian full service mixed animal practice. We are well established as an equine referral center for western Colorado and parts of Utah and Wyoming, and we provide 24/7 emergency services for horses who need that level of care.
GVC is proud to offer a long-standing and well-received externship program for both domestic and international veterinary students. We thoroughly enjoy having externs and are looking forward to your visit. The veterinarians and staff at GVC feel a strong commitment to give back to the profession by contributing to the education of veterinary students and veterinary technician students. We hope that GVC's externship program will offer you the opportunity to observe a wide variety of cases, expose you to new procedures and protocols, and provide you a chance to work with our veterinarians and staff. We are also happy to provide insight for you on issues related to business, practice management, and career placement as it interests you.
We do not prepare formal extern schedules, but assign externs to clinicians each day based on caseload, the particular interests of individual externs, and the manpower needs for the day. Externs are not expected to be technicians at GVC, but we appreciate your help as it is needed. While our externships and internship are equine oriented, students who are interested in mixed practice will have ample opportunity to be involved in other species as well. Our goal is for students to leave here with a broad exposure to all aspects of equine general practice, as well as sports medicine, surgery, and in-depth lameness diagnosis. We do our best to give students as much hands-on experience as possible, depending on experience, the patient, and the sensibilities of our clients regarding student involvement with cases.
GVC provides basic housing and cooking facilities for visiting students free of charge. Housing is here at the clinic, which keeps students close to the action for night and weekend emergencies. A car is not necessary, but is recommended if students would like to explore the area during any down time. Shopping and other services/amenities are within walking or biking distance, or by public transportation. Most students get here by flying either to Denver, Vail/Eagle, Aspen, or Grand Junction, then arranging for transportation from there. Public transportation is available from all of these airports except Vail/Eagle, and car rentals are available from all airport options, including 1-way rentals. Many students use either a Greyhound bus or the Colorado Mountain Express to get here from Denver, and there is now a service called Bustang, operated by the Colorado Department of Transportation, which is relatively fast and affordable.
We encourage students to visit for 2-3 weeks to gain maximum exposure to the practice. Externships of less than 2 weeks or more than 3 weeks will be considered on an individual basis. Many students like to visit early in their vet school years to get a feel for GVC then come back as seniors if they are interested in the internship. Students are expected to participate in our weekly Journal Club, where they summarize a recent article from the veterinary literature, followed by discussion with the rest of the group. Students are also often asked to provide input from either their veterinary school experience or from literature searches that may be integrated into case management.
Students may apply for externships by emailing our externship coordinator (firstname.lastname@example.com). Please include 2-3 options for dates, preferably with Friday arrival and Sunday departure, although this can be flexible based on your travel requirements. That email should also include an attachment of your CV as well as a paragraph telling a bit about yourself (equine experience, etc) and your professional goals (i.e. what you want to do after graduation). Externships are required for internship candidates, and we encourage 2 visits if possible (1 early in vet school and 1 during your 4th year) for those who are highly motivated to be an intern in our practice. A detailed document with more specific externship guidelines will be provided upon confirmation of your visit. We have no more than 2 externs at one time to maximize the quality of the experience, so application well in advance of your anticipated arrival is strongly encouraged.
You can find out more information at www.glenwoodvet.com or visit our Facebook, Instagram or Twitter pages.
Must be a current veterinary student. Any year is acceptable.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Tyler Kennedy and James Neal both scored goals to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-1 on Saturday.
Claude Giroux scored for the Flyers in the first game for both teams since the end of the 113-day NHL lockout.
Chris Kunitz added an empty-netter in the final seconds for the Penguins.
About 20,000 fans filled the Wells Fargo Center and they were welcomed back and thanked by the team in videotaped messages throughout the game.
The rivalry started early in this abbreviated season. The Flyers eliminated the Penguins in six games last season in an Eastern Conference first-round playoff series. Counting the 2012 regular-season finale, the Penguins have played the Flyers eight straight games.

Right, time for May's Political Compass. It comes at a particularly lovely (if busy – exams) time, as I've just…well, read.
I've also, if I've posted this at the right time, just hit 10,000 posts on twitter! What synchronicity.
So, here goes.
Hmm…. a little more economically left and socially liberal. I seem to drift around a few squares, but I'm starting to find exactly where I lay.
I'd always support my country, whether it was right or wrong.
Disagree -> Strongly Disagree
No one chooses his or her country of birth, so it's foolish to be proud of it.
Strongly Disagree -> Disagree
Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races.
Disagree -> Strongly Disagree
These three are causing me quite a lot of trouble. I think it, essentially, stems from the fact that, intuitively, they're horrendous aggressive-nationalist things to say, but, actually, they're either a) not that bad or b) have liberal interpretations.
No broadcasting institution, however independent its content, should receive public funding.
Disagree -> Strongly Disagree
I think that an independent media is utterly crucial. Yes, government funding is always a concern. Look at Al Jazeera's slow drift from critic of Middle Eastern politics to media relations officers for Qatar's foreign ministry. But, in principle, I'm firmly in favour of the need for an independent broadcaster.
Well, that's it for another month. Who knows where I'll be in June!

Revision as of 11:13, 20 January 2013
Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary end From Wikipedia:Preboot Execution Environment:
- The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE, also known as Pre-Execution Environment; sometimes pronounced "pixie") is an environment to boot computers using a network interface independently of data storage devices (like hard disks) or installed operating systems.
In this guide, PXE is used to boot the installation media with an appropriate option-rom that supports PXE on the target.
Download the latest official install media from here.
Next mount the image:
# mkdir -p /mnt/archiso # mount -o loop,ro archlinux-20*-dual.iso /mnt/archiso
Server setup
You'll need to setup a DHCP, TFTP, and HTTP server to configure networking, load pxelinux/kernel/initramfs, and finally load the root filesystem (respectively).
Bring up your wired NIC, and assign it an address appropriately.
# ip link set eth0 up # ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0
You'll need both a DHCP and TFTP server to configure networking on the install target and to facilitate the transfer of files between the PXE server and client; dnsmasq does both, and is extremely easy to set up.
Install dnsmasq:
# pacman -S dnsmasq
Configure dnsmasq:
# vim /etc/dnsmasq.conf
port=0 interface=eth0 bind-interfaces dhcp-range=192.168.0.50,192.168.0.150,12h dhcp-boot=/arch/boot/syslinux/pxelinux.0 dhcp-option-force=209,boot/syslinux/archiso.cfg dhcp-option-force=210,/arch/ enable-tftp tftp-root=/mnt/archiso
Start dnsmasq:
# systemctl start dnsmasq.service
Thanks to recent changes in archiso, it is now possible to boot from HTTP (archiso_pxe_http initcpio hook) or NFS (archiso_pxe_nfs initcpio hook); among all alternatives, darkhttpd is by far the most trivial to setup (and the lightest-weight).
First, install darkhttpd:
# pacman -S darkhttpd
Then start darkhttpd using our /mnt/archiso as the document root:
# darkhttpd /mnt/archiso
darkhttpd/1.8, copyright (c) 2003-2011 Emil Mikulic. listening on: http://0.0.0.0:80/
For this portion you'll need to figure out how to tell the client to attempt a PXE boot; in the corner of the screen along with the normal post messages, usually there will be some hint on which key to press to try PXE booting first. On an IBM x3650 F12 brings up a boot menu, the first option of which is Network; on a Dell PE 1950/2950 pressing F12 initiates PXE booting directly.
Looking at
/var/log/messages.log on the PXE server will provide some additional insight to what exactly is going on during the early stages of the PXE boot process:
# grep dnsmasq /var/log/messages.log | cut -d' ' -f5-
dnsmasq-dhcp[2544]: DHCPDISCOVER(eth1) 00:1a:64:6a:a2:4d dnsmasq-dhcp[2544]: DHCPOFFER(eth1) 192.168.0.110 00:1a:64:6a:a2:4d dnsmasq-dhcp[2544]: DHCPREQUEST(eth1) 192.168.0.110 00:1a:64:6a:a2:4d dnsmasq-dhcp[2544]: DHCPACK(eth1) 192.168.0.110 00:1a:64:6a:a2:4d dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/pxelinux.0 to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/whichsys.c32 to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso_pxe_choose.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/ifcpu64.c32 to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso_pxe_both_inc.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso_head.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso_pxe32.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso_pxe64.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/archiso_tail.cfg to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/vesamenu.c32 to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/splash.png to 192.168.0.110
After you load
pxelinux.0 and
archiso.cfg via TFTP, you'll (hopefully) be presented with a syslinux boot menu with several options, two of which are of potential usefulness to us.
Select either
Boot Arch Linux (x86_64) (HTTP)
Boot Arch Linux (i686) (HTTP)
depending on your CPU architecture.
Next the kernel and initramfs (appropriate for the architecture you selected) will be transferred, again via TFTP:
dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz to 192.168.0.110 dnsmasq-tftp[2544]: sent /mnt/archiso/arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img to 192.168.0.110
If all goes well, you should then see activity on darkhttpd coming from the PXE-target; at this point the kernel would be loaded on the PXE-target, and in init:
1348347586 192.168.0.110 "GET /arch/aitab" 200 678 "" "curl/7.27.0" 1348347587 192.168.0.110 "GET /arch/x86_64/root-image.fs.sfs" 200 107860206 "" "curl/7.27.0" 1348347588 192.168.0.110 "GET /arch/x86_64/usr-lib-modules.fs.sfs" 200 36819181 "" "curl/7.27.0" 1348347588 192.168.0.110 "GET /arch/any/usr-share.fs.sfs" 200 63693037 "" "curl/7.27.0"
After the root filesystem is downloaded via HTTP, you'll eventually end up at a root zsh prompt with that fancy grml config.
Unless you want all traffic to be routed through your PXE server (which won't work anyway unless you set it up properly), you'll want to kill dnsmasq and get a new lease on the install target, as appropriate for your network layout.
# systemctl stop dnsmasq.service
You can also kill darkhttpd; the target has already downloaded the root filesystem, so it's no longer needed. While you're at it, you can also unmount the installation image:
# umount /mnt/archiso
At this point you can follow the official installation guide.
Alternate Methods
As implied in the syslinux menu, there are several other alternatives:
You will need to setup a NFS server with the root export at the root of your mounted installation media--that would be
/mnt/archiso if you followed the earlier sections of this guide.
Install nbd and configure it:
# vim /etc/nbd-server/config
[generic] [archiso] readonly = true exportname = /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201208
Low memory
copytoram initramfs option can be used to control whether the root filesystem should be copied to ram in its entirety in early-boot.
It highly recommended to leave this option alone, and should only be disabled if entirely necessary (systems with less than ~256MB physical memory). Append
copytoram=n to your kernel line if you wish to do so.

I would like to understand what differences and relations are between metaphor and idiom, and between metaphoric and idiomatic. Following are quotes from me asking two people on this site:
zpletan said after this answer:
I would say that something smelling fishy is a metaphor that has become idiomatic. But maybe I'm wrong. :) Metaphor is "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable," while idiom is "a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words." (New Oxford English Dictionary)
Nico said in one comment following his reply:
idiomatic means: Peculiar to or characteristic of a particular language (OED). So you could have an idiomatic English metaphor/simile/allegory etc. as opposed to a French or Spanish one. However idiomatic is not restricted to figures of speech, you can say that putting the verb at the end of the sentence is idiomatic of German.
It looks like different people have different opinions. So are there consensus opinion on this question?

Expert Reviews
2009 Acura TSX
With the 2009 TSX, Acura has done a full remake of its entry-luxury level sedan. More than just bolting a slick new body on an old platform, the TSX is new from the ground up, as in, longer, wider and lower. In a couple measures, it's roomier, too.
Technology is what sets the new TSX apart. Acura's superb navigation system comes standard and can be operated using voice-recognition. The standard navigation system is the equal of anything in the class, while an optional system displays real-time traffic with congestion re-routing and local and national weather. An airlines display lets you track a flight's progress across the country. The top-line audio system sets a standard for the class, too, with superbly crisp surround sound. Hands-free, Bluetooth cell phone architecture is built right into the car's electronics.
The 2009 Acura TSX is a four-door, five-passenger sedan designed to competed with Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series sedans. It comes with one engine, a 2.4-liter inline-4, and a choice of transmissions, a six-speed manual and a five-speed SportShift sequential automatic. Although horsepower is off slightly, torque is increased by enough to make up any difference in sheer acceleration. Just as important, fuel economy is unchanged with the manual and improved with the automatic. The TSX stays with a front-wheel-drive configuration, whereas true sporty sedans are rear-wheel drive. That said, the TSX is one of the better-handling front-wheel-drive sedans and in its class, hard to beat as an everyday driver that can still be fun on a mountain road.
Styling stays true to Acura themes for 2009, but cleans up here and there to give the car a more aggressive, more buff look and to emphasize its more planted stance. The wider part, where it adds a couple inches between the wheels side to side, translates directly into a sportier driving feel.
Everything inside that matters is powered, including the adjustments on both front seats. Dual-zone climate control and heated seats and outside mirrors are standard. Safety hasn't been overlooked either, with everything from a full array of airbags to electronic stability control to tire pressure monitors included at no extra cost.
Model LineupAcura TSX ($28,960); TSX with Technology Package ($32,060)
Walk Around
While it's not quite the case that if you've seen one Acura, you've seen them all, there's still a consistency to the marque's styling that ties all its models together. The '09 TSX is no exception to that rule. Although it stretches the mold a bit, as it should, there's still no mistaking it for anything but one of Honda's luxury line.
The front end nicely blends elements from Acura's other two sedans, the sporty TL and the more serious RL, and from the MDX sport utility. The headlight housings, for instance, with their squinty lenses curling around the front fenders to reach deep into the arcs of the front wheelwells, look like a direct lift from the TL. The elongated, pentagonal chrome bar topping the similarly outlined grille pulls from both the MDX grille and the single bar slicing across the grille on the current TSX. The gaping lower air intake is a new design cue and shaves visual mass from what might otherwise be an overpowering front bumper while adding function by pumping needed cooling air into the engine compartment and reducing front end lift. Hood sculpting defines the TSX's centerline and front fenders.
The side view departs a bit more from the family look, but keeps just enough of the cues to stay true to its design DNA. This is especially evident in the side lenses of the headlight and taillight housings and the silhouette of the trailing lip of the trunk lid, all of which closely mirror the '08 TSX. In much sharper relief, though, are the sculpted character lines in the door panels. These add visual bulk and combine with edgy wheel arches remindful, again, of the MDX to make a stronger statement about the car's sporty aspirations. Door handles embedded in the upper crease give the view a cleaner look.
The rear aspect, sad to say, suggests of recent Toyota Camrys more than of the previous TSX in its overly busy styling. A deeply cut horizontal line slices straight across the rear vertical of the trunk lid, itself looking almost concave against the gently convex vertical of the '08. Taillights bridge the seam between trunk and fenders as before but bracket a license plate recess that's inverted from the '08 TSX, visually pushing the trailing lip higher and seeming to add sheet metal across the lower reaches of the trunk lid. The rear bumper cups the trunk opening with unflattering sedan like bulk, which makes the hot rod-spec dual exhaust tips look a little lame.
Liking the new Acura TSX interior is easy. It's comfortable without being plush, sporty without being sparse. Communication between driver and car is, for the most part, open and easy and unabridged.
The front seats are supportive, with enough side bolstering for reasonably rambunctious motoring on twisty roads. The bottom cushion could be deeper, but this is a common shortcoming in today's cars, save for a few, like the BMW 3 Series and new 1 Series with their extendable thigh supports. The front seat passenger still gets shortchanged with no height adjustment, which leaves even taller people feeling as if they're sitting in a hole. The three inches tacked onto the TSX's width went mostly to more padding for side impact protection, but front-seat hip room is up by a solid inch.
The rear seat is more like a bench than twin buckets, and space for the lower extremities is snug, measuring by the tape a mere one-tenth of an inch roomier than the '08. This despite the addition of more than two inches to the '09's overall length and almost an inch and a half to its wheelbase. Rear head restraints adjust for height, which is a plus for its occupants, although that even when at their lowest position they obstruct the visibility out the back window from the inside rear view mirror is a minus. All four doors have dual inside pulls, one horizontal and one angled up, for easy closing by passengers of any stature.
Gauges tell their tales with easy-to-scan graphics and floating needles. The steering wheel sports push buttons and toggles controlling more than a dozen functions, not counting the horn, making it look like it would be just as comfortable in a jet fighter cockpit as in a car. This may be just fine for fighter pilot Walter Mittys who fantasize about mixing it up with the other side's Top Guns, but for the rest of us, who just want to drive the car, it's a bit much. The center stack, however, with either the base sound and navigation system or the optional Technology Package, is one of the more intuitively arranged that we've seen, with large, finger-friendly buttons and a reasonably easy-to-learn multi-function joystick-like knob for the multi-layered information center-cum-map screen. The high-end audio setup does force the relocation of the CD changer down into the bowels of the center stack, where it's not as easily accessed as with the base system, which parks it at the top of the stack, but that's a minor complaint, and one that won't even show up on the technophiles' radar.
Storage is more than adequate. Every door has a molded-in space for a water bottle, the front doors room for the proverbial map, although given a navigation system is standard, think guidebook or CDs. The glove box has a partitioned nook for the owner's manual and associated booklets, leaving the rest for smallish flat items. The front center console hosts a bi-level storage bin and two cup holders. The fold-down center armrest has two more. There's a bin in the front footwells on each side of what once was called the transmission hump.
Trunk space is down from the '08, by between more than one-half a square foot to a couple tenths of a square foot, primarily because the navigation system becomes standard for '09 and the trunk houses some of its hardware. The usable space, however, is awkwardly shaped by the need to accommodate the rear suspension components, which is just as well, as the opening itself isn't particularly commodious.
Driving Impressions
Driving the new TSX doesn't deliver as much fun as an honest-to-goodness sporty sedan could/should for one simple reason: front-wheel drive. Not that it suffers too much torque steer or any of the other dynamics peculiar to front-wheel-drive cars, but that any car burdened with a front/rear weight bias of 60/40 simply cannot deliver the responsiveness and agility of a rear-wheel-drive car, like the two aforementioned BMWs, or an all-wheel-drive car, like the Audi A4 Quattro or the new Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X.
Nevertheless, the TSX is an enjoyable, moderately sporty car. Suspension balance is good, with spring rates and shock absorber tuning well matched at all four corners. The car takes corners at speed with noticeably more confidence and less body lean than the previous-generation model, thanks in part to '09's two-and-one-half inch wider track. Only when the corners start arriving in rapid succession and require quick steering adjustments first one way then the other do the car's limitations become apparent. Adding to the disappointment is the steering's numb feeling. There's no lack of precision or response to steering inputs, just very little tactile feedback from that all-important contact patch between tire and pavement.
Horsepower is down slightly from '08, but torque is up slightly, so any difference between the '08's and the '09's response to the pressure of the driver's right foot on the gas pedal is measurable only by a stopwatch. As in, sprightly, but definitely still not neck-snapping. Interestingly, the '09's fuel economy improves by two miles per gallon, to 21/30 city/highway, over the '08's with the SportShift five-speed automatic; it's unchanged with the manual gearbox, which, strangely, is rated by the U.S. EPA at one mpg less in the city and two mpg less on the highway.
The SportShift automatic's adaptive programming leaves a bit to be desired, however. Although it initially holds a lower gear longer when the car's on a grade or when it's being pushed hard through a series of corners, it often gives up too soon. Time after time, during our test drive on the two-lane roads in the mountains east of San Diego, just as we readied to ease back into the gas during the transition from one corner to the next, it shifted up a gear, dumping the engine out of the sweet part of its power curve. It was similarly impatient on grades, not waiting long enough before shifting up a gear and then shifting back down a moment or two later when it realized its error. Never was there any indication of brake fade on those roads, and ride quality over anything but the worst pavement was better than average. There was little wind noise, and the longer wheelbase and wider track minimized the dreaded rocking-horse effect over freeway expansion joints.
Gear spacing in the six-speed manual easily kept the engine in the best part of its power curve, although we still don't see the need for a transmission this mechanically complex for everyday driving; save for brief periods of testing the car's limits, we mostly ignored second, fourth and fifth gear. Clutch action was smoothly managed, and the curved shape of gas pedal brings its lower portion close enough to the arc of the brake pedal to permit relatively comfortable heel-and-toe downshifts.
The 2009 Acura TSX is kind of like the little engine that thought it could, but found out it couldn't. As decent a car as it is, and it is a very decent car, it's not the full-fledged sporty sedan it could be, and that Acura seems to want it to be. With all-wheel drive and just a little more power, it could give BMW and Audi a real run for their money.

The main source of sound in an acoustic guitar is the string, which is plucked or strummed with the finger or with a pick. The string vibrates at a necessary frequency and also creates many harmonics at various different frequencies. The frequencies produced can depend on string length, mass, and tension. The string causes the soundboard and sound box to vibrate, and as these have their own resonances at certain frequencies, they amplify some string harmonics more strongly than others, hence affecting the timbre produced by the instrument.
A great introductory acoustic, priced for anyone to afford. It comes this amazing deal acoustic guitar. The Rogue guitar is an ideal instrument for the beginner, or young musician. The body depth and width bring out balanced tone and plenty of projection to be heard from across the room.

Website Latency Study Highlights Differences in Response Times during Recent DDoS Attacks against Two Banks
February 25, 2013 (PRLEAP.COM) Business NewsHOLLYWOOD, FL Prolexic, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, today released results of a website performance case study that documented variations in load times during live DDoS attacks. The study tracked performance of two financial institutions; one website had average website load times of two seconds or less, while the other experienced multiple site outages and lengthy delays in server response times.
The headline-making attacks were publicly announced on underground hacker sites before they started. Based on that information, Prolexic was able to track the same DDoS attack against two financial services companies simultaneously. One firm used Prolexic's PLXrouted DDoS protection service while the other financial institution was engaged with another DDoS protection provider. Response time how long a page takes to load on a website was tracked for both firms using the Compuware Gomez Application Performance Monitor, from multiple worldwide locations.
Data shows that the user experience was far superior with Prolexic. The Prolexic client suffered zero outages and pages typically loaded in a tolerable two seconds, even though the financial services firm was under a significant DDoS attack. In contrast, the firm that did not use Prolexic suffered three separate outages and website users had to endure page-loading times as high as 50 seconds in some cases, making the site unusable.
"Minimizing the impact of an attack is job number one for DDoS mitigation providers," said Stuart Scholly, president at Prolexic. "Even if your website is under a severe attack, Prolexic can help ensure the user experience is maintained at acceptable levels."
The public can learn more about Prolexic's performance under attack conditions in Booth 2539 at the RSA Conference, Feb. 25 March 1 in San Francisco, or by viewing our website latency video at prolexic.com/latency.

The Seventh (7th) Eothinon (Morning Orthros Gospel Reading)
Sermon delivered March 14, 2010
Today we continue our series on the Eleven (11) Eothina, the Sunday Orthros gospel readings. We are now on the Seventh (7th) one from John 20:1-10, the first of five post-resurrectional accounts taken from the Gospel of John. We only read this passage liturgically in the Sunday Orthros cycle, so perhaps four to five times a year. Let's hear it again before we examine it in more detail:
Now the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him." Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb. So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed. For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. 1Then the disciples went away again to their own homes (John 20:1-10).
"The first day of the week" (v.1) is Sunday. The Greek "mia twv Sabbatwv" translates literally as "first of seven." That day of course is Sunday or "Kyriake" in Greek, the Lord's Day, the Day of Resurrection. Sunday is also known as the Eighth Day or the new and unending day of God's eternal kingdom. Jewish festal cycles were typically seven days. This is probably why Jesus and John the Baptist were circumcised on the eighth day according to the ancient custom of the Mosaic Law. In Orthodox Christianity festal cycles are typically eight days long. The Apodosis or Leave-taking or completion of major Feasts occurs on the eighth day. One example would be the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos which begins on August 15th and ends on August 23rd.
In previous weeks we spoke about Mary Magdalene and the women myrrhbearers as the first witnesses to the resurrection so I will not go over this again. Instead, let us understand what appears to be a foot race between Peter and the 'other disciple' (v.3). Who is the other disciple? Remember the appearance of the risen Lord to the two disciples in the Fifth Eothinon (Luke 24:12-35) and how one was identified as Cleopas but the other was not referred to by name? It is believed that this disciple is the evangelist Luke because it was common at that time for authors not to refer to themselves by name in their own writings. So, in today's passage we are quite certain that the other disciple is the John the Evangelist.
We hear that Peter and John both ran together but John outran Peter and came to the tomb first. Yet, it was Peter who entered the tomb first (v.6). It seems that John wants to say, "Even though Peter entered the tomb first I beat in the race." However, listen to how St. Gregory of Nazianzus (4th cent.) interprets this element of the story. "Be a Peter or a John. Hasten to the sepulcher, running together. Running against one another, vying in the noble race. And even if you are beaten in speed, win the victory of showing who wants it more. Not just looking into the tomb but going in." The Orthodox Study Bible notes this: "The response of Peter & John ('the other disciple') reveals each one's disposition. John's reaching the tomb 'first' indicates his faith his lofty and full of understanding, and indeed, he is the first to have 'believed' (v.8). Peter's faith, on the other hand, is more direct and bold, shown by his immediate entrance 'into the tomb.'"
What did Peter see when he entered the tomb? "He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself" (vv.6-7). I'm sure many of us have seen the email circulating titled "Why Did Jesus Fold the Napkin?" It states that the Jewish custom at the time was to fold your napkin if you were returning to the table for dinner. If you were done, you would throw it aside not folded. It concludes that the message in the scriptural passage is that Jesus is returning.
However, while we believe that, yes, Jesus will return at the Parousia, the Second Coming to give final judgment and establish His kingdom forever, this is not the message of this passage. First, of all the Greek word that has been translated as either 'napkin' or 'handkerchief' is 'soudarion'. The only other place this word is used in the scripture is to refer to the burial cloth covering Lazaros face (John 11;44). The main message of the neatly folded burial clothes is to show that Jesus body was not taken by thieves because if it were, they would not have had or taken the time to fold the clothes. In other words, Jesus resurrection is real, not fake. The 'soudarion' or face cloth is mentioned is to note that it was in a different place, separate from the rest of the burial clothes.
Fr. Paul Tarazi, in his The New Testament: An Introduction; Johannine Writings, states the meaning is: "The effect is to stress the separation between the coverings of the body and of the head after the Resurrection. Jesus, the head of the Church, is alone glorified now while His believers must be content to wait for their turn. He shows the way that the members or 'body' will eventually follow." (see Jn.13:33,36 "Where I am going you cannot follow me no; but you shall follow afterward"; 14:2-3 "And when I god and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also").
When John enters the tomb after Peter it simply says that, "he saw and believed" (v.8). Tarazi also postulates that like the rest of this passage and the whole of John's gospel, there is a strong message being sent to the evangelist's readers. He states that "There are no new themes from earlier in John which include: 1) Priority of Pauline Gentile Church as first to accept gospel represented by Mary Magdalene as the first to the tomb and first to see the resurrected Lord; 2) Peter's vacillation in that both he and the "beloved disciple" enter and see the empty tomb but only the 'beloved' believes. Jesus' body was bound in linen clothes to symbolize the attempt to bind His Church in the teachings of Judaism. As we see the linen clothes left behind the irrelevance of Judaism is made manifest."
This may seem shocking to most modern readers because little attention has been paid or given to the struggle within the first century Church between the followers of Paul and the followers of Peter who were typically Judaizing Christians. We know that Peter and Paul later reconciled and Christianity goes the way of St. Paul leaving behind most of the Mosaic Law.

SPOILERS!!! DWTS Season 12, Week 7 – The Results
Well, well, well….I am somewhat happy to have been wrong because I do think that Romeo has been steadily improving. But I was starting to like Kendra as well…that's right folks, my number 2 choice based on the numbers has exited the ballroom. Hee – I also called it right re: Mark and Chelsea being in jeopardy up to the last minute. Watch your hands, boy. 🙂
Tomorrow, I'm going to run all the numbers a different way that will show how the extra judge skewed the results and actually gave Romeo the shot at staying around over Kendra. He made it easier, anyway.

DR Congo: 70 children, one aircraft and many happy families
12-11-2011 Feature
Patrick had been separated from his parents for more than six years. He, his younger brothers and some 70 other children were reunited with their loved ones in September this year. Espérance Tshibuabua, of the ICRC's Kinshasa delegation, met him on the plane specially chartered by the ICRC for a major operation to reunite families across the country.
1 September 2011 was a big day for Patrick: he was about to be reunited with his mother, from whom he had been separated more than six years previously. His two younger brothers were also on the plane: Trésor, aged 14, and seven-year-old Maurice. Despite his height and age, Patrick comes across as shy. "When fighting broke out in Goma we fled", he explains. "Our father had gone to work and our mother was at the market."
After running away the three boys followed groups of the population that were moving from place to place in a region caught in the grip of violence. Eventually, after several months of wandering from village to village, they reached Katanga province. "Maman took care of us", says Patrick. The woman he calls Maman was in fact an inhabitant of Goma who fled the war in the Kivu region together with Patrick and his two brothers.
To reunite the 70 children with their families the ICRC plane has to make some four trips a day, taking off from Lubumbashi for destinations including Kamina, Mbuji Mayi, Kindu, Moba and Manono. Patrick and his brothers are not alone on board: several other children will be making the journey with them. Their faces show neither joy nor sadness. If anything, they seem almost helpless. I imagine that they must be wondering what it will look like, the place where the plane will land, their house, their village… We take off and the youngest of the children, who are only two years old, start dozing off – while the older ones struggle with airsickness.
Alphonsine is in the seat right in front of Patrick. She boarded the aircraft in Kindu, the capital of Maniema province. She was 13 when she was separated from her parents. Population movements triggered by the fighting carried her far away from her family, until she ended up alone in another village. In 2010 her mother contacted the ICRC in the hope of finding her child. On 1 September Alphonsine lands in Goma and his met by her mother, tears of joy in her eyes.
Mireille, who is 17, started her journey in Angola and ended up in Mwinyampulo, in Kasai Occidental province, where she was given shelter in a convent. She stayed there for almost a year before returning to Luiza. In Angola she had lost all contact with her parents. To survive she took to selling water packaged in plastic bags.
Mireille was eventually located by a volunteer of theLuiza branch of the Red Cross Society of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was the beginning of a long voyage: by bicycle from Mwinyampulo to Luiza, by motorbike from Luiza to Kananga, capital of Kasai Occidental province, and by plane from Kananga to Lubumbashi via Mbuji-Mayi. She was delighted to be reunited with her brother and admitted that she'd been unhappy while separated from her loved ones, whom by now she barely knew.
Organized by the ICRC and the Red Cross Society of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this particular operation to reunite children with their families began at the end of August 2011 and lasted more than a week. During that period, the ICRC plane made four trips a day to carry children from and to the Equateur, Province Orientale and North Kivu provinces.

Mom of abandoned baby says she's homeless
A 20-year-old woman was arrested by police, who claim she abandoned a baby on a subway.
NEW YORK — A woman has been arrested on charges she abandoned her baby at a Manhattan subway station.
Police said Tuesday that Frankea Dabbs told them that she's homeless and felt she could no longer take care of the little girl.
Police say she pushed the baby's stroller onto a subway platform on Monday and then got back on a train. She was found early Tuesday near Central Park.
The mother has told detectives in a preliminary interview that she's from North Carolina and came to New York last week. She says the baby's father died recently.
NYPD spokesman Stephen Davis says the woman says she thought she was leaving the baby in a "safe space."
The baby is about 10 months old and appears to be in good condition.

ISTANBUL, Turkey, June 24 (UPI) -- Turkey's foreign minister Sunday issued a harsh rebuke to Syria for shooting down an unarmed Turkish military jet that briefly strayed into Syrian airspace.
Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Friday's incident was inexcusable and he has requested a NATO meeting to discuss a response, the BBC said.
That meeting is scheduled for Tuesday. The Turks have also consulted with the United Nations and European Union, the report said.
Davutoglu said the F-4 Phantom jet was in international airspace when it was shot down over the Mediterranean Sea after briefly straying into Syrian territory at high speed on a training mission, CNN reported.
"You have to first send a caution, a warning," he said. "If the warning doesn't work, you scramble your planes, you send a stronger signal, you force the plane to land. There wasn't enough time to do any of that in the time that our plane was in Syrian airspace."
The Turkish navy was searching Sunday for the two pilots who went down in the burning jet, although their chances of survival were considered slim, the reports said.
The wreckage of the jet was located Sunday afternoon at a depth of 3,000 feet, although the aviators weren't found, Russia's RIA Novosti news agency reported.

The Scottish practice Rural Design is specialised in contemporary architecture for the Highlands of Scotland. On Isle of Skye, an island close to the Scottish westcoast, they realised this holiday house.
Here is what the architects explain:
"On first visiting the site it was difficult to see how any proposal could succeed if it disrupted a landscape that did not lend itself to intervention. The decision to lift the building off the ground on small piloti released the design from convention and allowed it to relate to the wider context – the views to the north and the sun from the south. The form of the house deliberately narrows to the north, reducing its surface area, and leans into the weather. The entrance bridge lifts one off the landscape and immediately upon entering one is connected with the view through the fully-glazed elevation to the north. The other windows are secondary and draw light into the two storey volume. Simple timber construction reinforces the character of the house as a visitor in the ancient landscape."
