Now, I realize that it is possible that I am a wee bit biased when it comes to my son, but, come on, he's sixteen months old and he can count to five! Tell me that's not amazing.* (Sorry the video is squished, Vimeo was being difficult.)
"Fooohhhhh-ahhhhhhh" from Maureen on Vimeo.
In case you are wondering, the crackling sounds are Andrew frying an egg. And the video was taken on a Friday morning during Lent, hence Andrew's question about whether eggs "count," because there's no meat on Fridays during Lent.

Yes, "four" is his favorite. And in all fairness, he'd probably say "four" if I held up any number of fingers and asked him how many. He's still a genius though.

Smithville Marine supports Ranger Boats' Operation Troop Salute.
Whether it's the smooth ride from our patented hulls… the peace of mind from our upright, level flotation… the strength of our patented fiberglass transoms and fiberglass stringers…the added efficiency of a Ranger livewell system, or even the way every part fits together like a solid, one-piece design… we never stop innovating.
"We're always listening, learning, refining, and perfecting. Around here, we call it Signature Quality."
It's a personal commitment to excellence from each of us to every Ranger owner. After all, we're on the water day in and day out. We know how unpredictable things can get. And we also know the importance of trust. The need to know your rig wasn't built on clever ad hype, but on the never-ending lessons of real experience.
Like the lessons we've learned in the frigid, hammering waters of the Great Lakes or the challenging winds of Mead and Okeechobee. Even the sharpened stump beds of Rayburn, Toledo Bend, and Lake Fork have taken their best shots at us.
At Ranger, we've spent more than four decades going one on one with the outdoors and the unforgiving element of time. Through it all, we've listened closely, done our homework, and built a level of quality, innovation, and total performance that has no peers. The Ranger Standard. From resale to reputation, We Still Build 'Em One At A Time So You Can Fish Hard, Run Strong, And Rest Easy.

It's funny how things turn out. By the spring of 1992, Jose was a unanimous MVP, multiple time All-Star, two-time Home Run King, the highest-paid baseball player in the world and was even having an affair with the biggest pop singer of the times, Madonna. He was a young millionaire who owned a fleet of fast cars and mansions in multiple states. Unbeknownst to Jose, however, the tide was turning.
By 1992, younger and better baseball players were about to take over the game. In his home town of Oakland and pretty much every stadium Jose played in, he was being heavily booed. Hell, he was not even the best player on his own team anymore as the once quiet Mark McGwire added 30 lbs. of muscle mysteriously (and grew a wicked goatee). Jose struggled through the season until the A's shipped him to Texas by the All-Star break.
When Jose was at his peak of stardom, it almost seemed like a bother to him. He ignored fans, didn't sign autographs or pose for photographs and was rude to his own teammates and even his manager. The Atheletics clearly saw the writing on the wall because for the decade he played after his original trade, the greatness was for the most part gone. The game of baseball passed Jose by.
That's why it's so refreshing to see Jose Canseco still in the game, at age 52 and for a $2,500 dollar salary. That's what the Diamonds paid him for his services this year. Of course, in typical Jose fashion … he didn't complete his time there. I don't know why and the few outlets that reported on his time in Pittsburgh didn't even bother reporting on his disappearance. We the fans were promised a month, what we got was 5 games.
It's clear that at 52, Jose can no longer play baseball. His .143 average as a hitter and his 0-2 record as a pitcher says everything you need to know. It is pretty awesome that the card below exsists. I don't know its origins or if it is just someone's idea of a custom card but I love seeing Jose on cardboard 30 long years after his debut in wax in 1986. I love cards of retired players but to me, Jose Canseco is still active, for now.

Subcontractors: determining the employment status of the subcontractor
Practical considerations
As mentioned in BIM66200, it is important that the employment status of subcontractors is properly established. The general principles are explained at ESM0100 onwards.
Cases which may merit closer examination include those where some or all of the following features are present:
- the accounts of a self-employed person contain none of the usual indications of normal trading activities such as purchase of supplies, ownership of plant, wages to non-family members or other expenses paid out
- the self-employed person was previously in employment in the same kind of work, perhaps with the same engager
- the worker appears to be working more or less continuously for only one engager
If necessary you should examine the PAYE records to see whether the worker is one of a number of employees who having ceased employment have been re-engaged on a self-employed basis.
For guidance on status generally, see http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/payerti/employee-starting/status.htm (HMRC website). For more detailed advice please refer to the Employment Status Manual.
Construction Industry Scheme
The operation and existence of the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) affects the computation of income chargeable to tax on subcontractors. It is a scheme solely concerned with how payments to subcontractors for construction work must be handled by contractors in the construction industry and certain other businesses. Only persons engaged under contracts which do not amount to contracts of employment fall within the CIS. Being registered as a CIS subcontractor is not proof of self-employed status. The guidance at ESM0100 onwards applies in the normal way.
If you are satisfied that the subcontractor is correctly taxable as a self-employed trader (or, if the subcontractor is trading via a personal service company, you are satisfied that the deemed employment rules do not apply), you should deal with the expenses charged in the accounts in accordance with BIM66210 onwards.

I have a scrolling panel with some content. When you scroll to the bottom of this panel, I have a list that is also scrollable. When I try to scroll the list, the panel it is in scrolls as well.

When planning your child's birthday party, there are so many things to think about. There seems to be so many details that you are over your head on trying to get everything prepared.
For any kind of party where guests are invited, you will want to send out an invitation. To help you out on this step of the birthday party planning
process, here are a few tips.
If you want people to come to your child's party, you should send out kids birthday invitations at least one week prior to the event. This will allow parents to make necessary changes in their schedules so they can bring their children to your party.
To save you a lot of hassle, and to help you better prepare for your party, it is a good idea to have an RSVP number. Knowing how many people are attending will help you better prepare for the amount of food you should have and party favors.
Kids birthday invitations should do the talking. You shouldn't have to explain yourself to parents and what the party is all about in a phone call.
If you are holding a themed event and you want your guests to show up in costume, make sure that is conveyed in the invitation.
If you have particular activities where a change of clothes is needed, make sure that is in the invitation as well.
You can make your invitations as fun as your theme by sending out specially designed kids birthday invitations, or you can even send out something more creative like a party souvenir.
For example, if your child is having a super hero theme, you can send out miniature super hero dolls with the party's details.
It is also a good idea to involve your child as much as possible with the invitations. If he/she is able to write, have them write the details.
If you are making your invitations instead of buying them, get your child to glue things on, or decorate the invitations how he/she wants. Invitation time can be just as much fun as the actual party for your birthday boy or girl.

WE HAD A LITTLE PREVIEW OF SUMMER for a while, and when the sun came out, we made these. To our chocolate-avocado-banana pudding, we added honey and milk then froze the whole thing in Popsicle molds. The taste is rich and creamy and the ingredients are only good for you.
- 2 VERY ripe bananas
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup milk << use 1/4 cup first, then add more milk as needed to liquify
Put everything into a blender until it's smooth and creamy, adding milk as needed. Pour into freezer molds and freeze for 3-4 hours.

Well I thought that the song I mentioned in my last post would be the next for the YouTube treatment. But I came across this blues number from Eric Clapton - I loved it and as the chord chart was in one of the songbooks from Ukulele Central UK, the club/group I have joined, I decided to make it happen (LOL, Jean Luc Goddard).
So here it is, a first go at "San Francisco Bay Blues" on the ukulele. I used my new Gretch 9120 tenor.
Whilst in the get-up, I decided to replace a video on the Tube which for some reason I do not understand was very unfocused. Focus great now - pity about the vocal.

What's New - September 2008
New titles recently added to the University Library's collection include:
Beyond revenge: the evolution of the forgiveness instinct. McCullough, Michael B. (Main Stax BF 637 .R48 M43 2008).
This book is an analysis of the revenge and forgiveness instinct as well as how these desires occurred during human development. It also debunks the misconception that forgiveness should be likened to an "antidote" or a "cure" for the desire for revenge by stating that forgiveness evolved due our ancestors' needs to preserve relationships with genetic relatives and other valuable relationship partners, making it less of an effort than usually assumed.
Clinical and professional reasoning in occupational therapy. Barbara A. Boyt Schell and John W. Schell. (Main Stax P.M 735 .C54 2008).
Summarizes current theories and research about clinical and professional reasoning and recommends strategies for teaching clinical reasoning in academic and practice settings.
Electronic health records: a practical guide for professionals and organizations. 3rd ed. Margaret K. Amatayakul. (Main Stax RA 976 .A532 2007).
Designed to facilitate appreciation and utilization for the electronic health record by all levels within the heath care environment. This edition includes strategies for intermediary steps for implementing the electronic health record.
Globally speaking: motives for adopting English vocabulary in other languages. Rosenhouse, Judith and Rotem Kowner (eds.). (Main Stax PE 1073 .G56 2008).
The volume examines the motives for lexical borrowing from English during the last century, the processes involved in the penetration of English vocabulary into new environments, and the extent of its integration into twelve languages representing several language families. Many of these absorbing languages are studied here for the first time.
Jesse Owens: a biography. Edmondson, Jacqueline. (Main Stax, Special Collections GV 697 .09 E35 2007).
Author Jacqueline Edmondson explores Owens' struggles and hard-earned accomplishments, as well as how he paved the way for future generations of athletes, including color line shatterer, Jackie Robinson. A timeline, photos, and extensive bibliography of print and electronic sources supplement this biography of one of the greatest Olympic athletes in American history.
Multicultural aspects of disabilities: A guide to understanding and assisting minorities in the rehabilitation process, 2nd ed. Willie V. Bryan. (Main Stax HV 1569.3 .M55B79 2007).
Provides discussion of the roles of culture and diversity for persons with disabilities as they utilize rehabilitation services. This edition adds a new section, "Helping," and a new chapter, "Religion and Diversity."
Patriot fires: forging a new American nationalism in the Civil War North. Lawson, Melinda. (Main Stax E 468.9 .L39 2002).
Considered to be the first comprehensive study of the role that the Civil War played in the shaping of the American cultural and ideological nation-state.
Principles of assessment and outcome measurement for occupational therapist and physiotherapists:
theory, skills and application. Alison Layer Fawcett. (Main Stax RM 701 .F39 2007).
Provides clarity and understanding of the assessment processes, the familiarity with psychometric terms and the identification of test properties for the confident selection, implementation and use of appropriate standardized tests and outcome measures.
Reading educational research: how to avoid getting statistically snookered. Gerald W. Bracey. (Main Stax
Through clarity and humor, Bracey explicitly defines statistical terminology in easy-to-understand language and even offering thirty-two specific principles for assessing the quality of research. Reading Education Research includes four major themes that every classroom teacher will find helpful as they read and discuss research: understanding data and how it is used and misused; uncovering how variables are used in the construction of scientifically based research and manipulated in politically motivated research; drawing conclusions about a study; and deciding whether the data presented is meaningful assessing the data that comes from standardized testing.
Setting leadership priorities: what's necessary, what's nice, and what's got to go. Suzette Lovely. (Main Stax LB 2805 .L65 2006)
Setting Leadership Priorities teaches busy professionals how to distinguish between information, activities, and situations that must be retained, those that might be refined, and many that should be relinquished. Lovely's conclusion, due to twenty years' experience as a teacher and administrator, is that reducing frustration and overload helps administrators by increasing retention rates and improving success on the job, allowing them to redistribute leadership by delegating.
Stress, coning and development. 2nd edition. Aldwin, Carolyn M. (Main Stax BF 575 .575 A42 2007).
Now in a thoroughly revised and significantly expanded second edition, this volume comprehensively examines the nature of psychosocial stress, the strategies individuals use to cope with it, and the implications for adaptation and health across the lifespan.
Transforming school leadership with ISLLC and ELCC. Neil J. Shipman. (Main Stax LB 2831.92 .553 2007)

Activities and suggestions for further reading are found at the end of each chapter.

Readers are introduced to curriculum as knowledge, curriculum as work, and curriculum as professional practice. Author Thomas W. Hewitt discusses curriculum from theoretical and practical perspectives to not only acquaint readers with the study of curriculum, but also help them to become effective curriculum practitioners.

A lot has happened since my last post. I really should update more often : /. Baby C, who we had for 3 months, left us to go live with family. We knew from the start that the plan for him was short term for us. It doesn't matter. When a child lives with you and you are their caregiver in the full sense of the word just as any parent is to any child, and then one day they are gone, and you no longer take care of them, and just like that it ends. Your heart breaks.
But God, and experience, has taught us how to love and let go. Its not a place I enjoy, I'm the first to admit. And even still, its not a place I want to continue in. Technically we have had 10 foster children in under 3 years. Sweet Girl S has been with us since Aug. She came at a time when our hearts were literally shattered in the wake of great loss and she has brought us immense joy. To say we don't want to lose her is the greatest understatement of the year. But, yet again, the plan is for this one to leave too.
We had a sweet 4 year old that needed a place to stay for the night while his extended family came to get him after a very difficult day he had. He and Cody spent the evening playing Xbox and I spent the wee hours of the night introducing him to God who was protecting him while his family couldn't. He said he'd not heard of angels or Jesus before :(. Hopefully we planted a seed.
And now we have one of the sweetest baby girls, in my opinion, that we've ever had-baby A. I think she has won me over quicker than any before. She and another sweet girl came to our home on the same day; yep! two babies on the same day! However, because of some special needs that this one has, we decided that the other baby needed to be placed in a different home so we could fully care for this one and give her our 110%. It became clear quickly that it was a smart decision. So, after about a week and 1/2 we were back to two foster children: Sweet Girl S and baby girl A.
We are on that dreaded stretch of counting down our time with S and just beginning our journey with A. What a rollercoaster fostering is. Sometimes I think my heart can't take it anymore. But then I know I just can't stop. To not do what the Lord has so clearly given you as a ministry is worse than to do something painful and to stick with it.
I can't hide that my heart is so very weary. 10 kids and no adoptions. Of course I ask the Lord questions about His plan for us. I cry often over my desires, especially since I'm certain He gave me this one. But I will do everything in my power to obey Him. Because doing His will in His way is the purpose.
Doing His will in His way. This is my purpose.
Every child is so precious and blesses us so very much. That's why we get so attached to them all. And why its so hard to let them go. Fostering allows us to parent many children when so many never get to parent one. For this I give thanks. Jeff and I have, at this point, let 8 children go. But on the flip side we have parented, so far, 12 in our marriage. God has been sweet to us. God gives and takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Two WNCC Students Recognized for Academic Achievements
Phi Theta Kappa introduced State Academic Teams in 1994 as a way to provide scholastic recognition to members, while promoting excellence at two-year colleges. More than 1,800 of the country's finest community college students competed for recognition, spots on the national team, and cash stipends. This All-Nebraska Team is designed to provide the same kind of recognition to the state's two-year college scholars by saluting their academic achievement, leadership, and service.
McAmis, who received an athletic scholarship to play soccer at WNCC, is on track to receive her Associate in Science (AS) degree in May. Although she hasn't made a final decision on which college she is attending this fall, McAmis plans to transfer to a four-year university and major in biology or pre-med/pre-physical therapy/pre-chiropractic care.
"I was raised to believe I can do anything I put my mind to; I'm determined to be as successful as possible within my education, future choices, and my career," said McAmis. "I chose to attend a community college right after high school because I wanted to ease into college. High enrollment numbers at some colleges can be overwhelming when trying to connect with professors, because you can be seen as just a number. Western Nebraska Community College provided me opportunities to connect personally with my professors."
McAmis enjoys volunteering and helping others in need. Her long-term goal for service is to volunteer her time by taking a mission trip to benefit the less fortunate. She is a historian on WNCC's Student Government, president of the National Honor Society of Leadership and Success, an active member of Phi Theta Kappa, and a tutor for Human Anatomy and Physiology. Additionally, she has earned a spot on the Dean's List and President's List.
McKay, who attends WNCC on a full tuition scholarship, is graduating with an Associate of Arts in general studies in May and will continue her studies in elementary education at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. She is pursuing a bachelor's degree in elementary education with a minor in speech pathology. After completing her undergraduate degree, she would like to work in a rural or suburban school setting, specifically with second graders. She plans to also pursue a master's degree to prepare to serve in administration. She enjoys community service projects at the school and looks forward to encouraging students to get involved and volunteer.
"One of the most rewarding experiences I have had at WNCC is as a resident assistant, because I was given the opportunity to bring people together, who are very different and help them learn and grow in their community college experience," said McKay. "I can say with confidence and gratitude, I have personally helped to make our community pleasurable, cohesive, and an environment in which education has been a positive growing experience!"
While at WNCC, McKay has been a vice president of Lambda Pi, a chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, resident assistant, member of National Society of Leadership and Success, and a student coordinator for intramural activities on campus. She was the recipient of a United Airlines scholarship. Some of her volunteer work includes volunteering at the Humane Society and judging a speech competition. She has also been a teacher's aide and daycare assistant. During her high school career, McKay received a Nebraska Chiropractic Physicians Association (NCPA) Academic All-State Award. She was also named to the Minuteman Activities Conference (MAC) All-Conference/All Academic Honor Roll.

Earlier this week, The Colbert Report warned of the addictiveness of Nintendo's Wii. Host Stephen Colbert will wrestle the world of videogames once more Monday, December 4 when Sims creator Will Wright makes an appearance.
The focus of the Colbert Report interview is unknown. The Sims franchise remains one of the most popular in the games industry and Wright's upcoming sandbox title, Spore, has garnered considerable attention. Both are likely to be touched upon during the interview.
An October article in the New York Times by Steven Berlin Johnson titled "The Long Zoom" focused on Wright. Johnson also wrote the book Everything Bad is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture is Actually Making us Smarter. Both could be interview fodder for Colbert, an admitted geek.
Check you local listings and be sure not to miss Wright on the Colbert Report next Monday.

The soap stars said older female performers ought to be given more stage and television roles, arguing that every new TV drama and most plays were male-dominated.
Callard, 53, who plays Rovers Return landlady Liz McDonald, told The Stage: ''The business is very ageist towards women – much more than it is to men. I think it's wrong but unfortunately that's the way it is.
''It's a shame because we have got some of the best actresses in the world.''
Nicholls, 66, who plays Weatherfield hairdresser Audrey Roberts, said roles for people of all age groups were limited outside soap operas.
She added: ''It's because we are in the 'lookist' age and that is why so many people go and have work done. I don't know how you get over it, really.
''Older people feel they have got to start looking better and I think that is sad, because I don't think they should.''
Nicholls claimed older actresses were particularly under-represented in theatre outside the West End.
Actors' union Equity is leading a petition calling for broadcasters to better represent older women, which has so far attracted nearly 9,000 signatures.

Undrafted Girardi is now Rangers' defensive stalwartby Mike G. Morreale
PHILADELPHIA -- There's no better way to celebrate a birthday than by eliminating a division rival from the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the midst of a hostile environment.
That's precisely what New York Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi will have in mind when his team visits Wells Fargo Center to battle the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference First Round series on Tuesday (7:30 p.m. ET; NBCSN, TSN, RDS, MSG, CSN-PH).
Girardi, who turns 30 on Tuesday, hopes his team can officially close out the Flyers. The Rangers hold a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.
"It would be a good way to celebrate your 30th birthday; a series win," Girardi told NHL.com. "But we all know it's not going to come easy. They're going to be coming with everything they got, as if their lives are on the line. We just have to make sure we match their intensity from the start, and hopefully exceed it."
Girardi has certainly exceeded expectations from the moment the Rangers signed the 6-foot-1, 203-pound right-hand shot to a free-agent contract in July 2006. His steady improvement over the years has enabled him to become one of the NHL's top distributors and stay-at-home defensemen.
It's pretty remarkable when you consider he sat through the 2002 and 2003 NHL Drafts spanning 583 players without one of the 30 teams announcing his name.
"I honestly wasn't bothered by it," Girardi said. "I just kept playing and working and knew eventually something would have to give and I'd get a tryout somewhere. I got that with the Rangers and it's been a great ride ever since.
"I just never gave in to [not being drafted]. I never said, 'OK, this might not be for me.' I stuck with it and always saw the dream."
On Feb. 28, the Rangers rewarded Girardi with a six-year, $33 million contract extension that will likely keep him with longtime defense partner Ryan McDonagh through 2020-21. It's something McDonagh doesn't take for granted, either.
"I make some mistakes and Danny's great at recovering and blocking a shot or disrupting an odd-man rush," McDonagh said. "He just gives you that much more confidence to join the rush and be creative. He's also mentally tough. The grind he goes through, the hits that he takes and the way he blocks shots. He's a leader in that aspect."
Girardi led the Rangers in hits (191) and blocked shots (174) in 81 regular-season games, while ranking second among their defensemen in goals (five), assists (19) and points (24). But he would be the first to admit he's no offensive juggernaut from the point; his game is in the trenches.
"I'm at my best when I'm hitting and blocking shots," Girardi said. "When you're hitting and getting hit with the puck, you're more involved in the game. Shot blocking has been our identity the last few years and even this year, with the coaching change, it's still been the same thing. That's kind of been my strength, so when I'm doing that I'm being successful out there."
There's one other thing that sets Girardi apart, and that's his durability for a guy playing such a tenacious role on a daily basis. He's missed just five of 574 regular-season games spanning eight seasons, and has played in all 69 playoff games for New York.
Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said he knew very little about Girardi when he came to New York, other than the fact he logged plenty of minutes and was an avid shot blocker.
"Having coached him for a year, he's a really important player on our team and he needs to continue to play the way he has been in order for us to be successful," Vigneault said.
Girardi is second on the Rangers behind McDonagh in average ice time (23:02) in five playoff games. He is tied for the team lead in hits (18) with Brian Boyle and is tops in blocked shots (14).
"The things he does for us are important, and he plays so many minutes," Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist said. "He's physical and strong on the puck, blocks shots and also has a good shot. He has all the tools."
Girardi's development took flight during his time with the Guelph Storm and London Knights in the Ontario Hockey League from 2002-05. In 2005, his London team won its first Memorial Cup following a 4-0 win against Sidney Crosby's Rimouski Oceanic of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
"At the end of the day, it feels great when you look back on it, knowing I was undrafted and now I'm playing a role like this for the Rangers," Girardi said. "I'm pretty lucky to be in this situation. I've never taken anything for granted, so that's really helped, and I'm just excited about how my career has gone so far. To have another shot in the playoffs and another chance to move on to the next round is special."

Billy Bigelow has been dead for fifteen years, and now outside the pearly gates, he long waived his right to go back to Earth for a day. But he has heard that there is a problem with his family, namely his wife Julie Bigelow née Jordan and the child he never met, that problem with which he would now like to head back to Earth to assist in rectifying. Before he is allowed back to Earth, he has to get the OK from the gatekeeper, to who he tells his story... Immediately attracted to each other, he and Julie met when he worked as a carousel barker. Both stated to the other that they did not believe in love or marriage, but they did get married. Because the shrewish carousel owner, Mrs. Mullin, was attracted to Billy herself, and since she believed he was only of use as a barker if he was single to attract the young women to the carousel, she fired him. With no other job skills and unwilling to take just any job, Billy did not provide for Julie but rather lived off Julie's Aunt Nettie. But...

Quick-Step Floors lights up San Sebastian
Our team animated the race in the final 40 kilometers, when David De La Cruz and Enric Mas went to the attack.
Murgil Tontorra, the last of the day's eight classified climbs, played again a crucial role in the outcome of Clasica San Sebastian, but long before the peloton reached the foot of the 1900m-long hill which averaged 10.2% the race came to life, thanks to a witty move of Quick-Step Floors, who forced a selection after the pack crested Jaizkibel for the second time.
Quick-Step Floors' David De La Cruz and Enric Mas were part of that 15-man group who went clear before the second passage of Arkale (2.7km, 6.4%), the penultimate ascent of the race. The talented neo-pro soon took the front and drove the group on the tough gradients of the climb, his relentless and selfless effort helping the attackers establish a lead of half a minute.
The heavy amount of work laid down by the 23-year-old Spaniard over the hilly terrain of the Basque Country was even more impressive considering he was the only one pulling in that group from which Gianni Moscon (Team Sky) attacked under the 25km-to-go banner. The Italian managed to stay at the front until the last kilometer of Murgil Tontorra, where the pre-race favourites flew past him as they powered ahead from the peloton.
A group of five riders fought for victory in the city center, which was nabbed by Michal Kwiatkowski (Team Sky), who outsprinted Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal) and Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo). Best Quick-Step Floors rider in the race at the end of which our team retained the top spot in the World Tour classification for the 19th consecutive week was Czech Champion Zdenek Stybar.

jayson blair, mark morford and the despair of a would-be writer
While the Times is being raked over the coals (and rightfully so) for Jayson Blair's lying, cheating, stealing and idiocy, SF Gate remains untouched by indignant purists who have amazingly overlooked the fact that the SFG publishes the fantasies and drivel of a man who may not even be from this planet! At least Blair's plagiaristic volumes of work were readable. He wasn't getting paid - like Mark Morford - to throw one retarded monkey into a room with a typewriter and a bong filled with best stuff money can buy and let him have at it.
One one side you have a guy who has obvious deep psychological problems and should never be allowed near a newsroom again. On the other side you have a guy with obvious deep pscyhological problems who should never be allowed out of his straight jacket again.
Really, what's the difference between lies and faked interviews masquerading as real stories a third-grade level name calling pretending to be an editorial?
I suppose the difference is that Mark Morford's near-illiterate syntax abuse calls itself OPINION and therefore is free from scrutiny and obviously free from proofreading or editorial critique.
Turns out it really was all a big joke after all. The war, that is. All a big fat nasty murderous oil-licking lie, a sneaky little power-mad game with you as the sucker and the world as the pawn and BushCo as the slithery war thug, the dungeon master, the prison daddy. You really have to laugh. Because it's just so wonderfully ridiculous. In a rather disgusting, soul-draining sort of way....
No warehouses teeming with nuclear warheads, no underground bunkers packed with vats of boiling biotoxins, no drums of crazy-ass chemical agents that will melt your skin and turn us all into drooling flesh-eating zombies -- unless, of course, you count the sneering vat of conservative biotoxin that is, say, Fox News, in which case, hell yeah baby, we gotcher WMDs right here beeyatch.
I continue to be mystified as to how this guy gets paid for writing this drool. Talk about big jokes and having one put over on you, Morford sits home at night laughing at everyone who buys into the lie that he is a writer. An editorial writer. Even he has to laugh at this great big fallacy.
And who are the people who buy this? How many readers think his crapfest is so worth the paper it's printed on that SFG can justify Morford's existence? Who can he count among his fans besides Ted Rall, whose comics read like picture-book versions of Morford's columns?
I meant to take apart Morford's column and counter-attack his insistence that the war was an unjust failure, but, as usual, I got caught up in the rage that engulfs me every time I get a few paragraphs into one of his screeds. There are so many talented writers struggling to make it in the news business, and people like Mark Morford and Jayson Blair are the ones who make the grade.
Sure, Blair will most likely never work in the news business again, but you can be sure he'll rack up a nice book deal when all is said and done. And Morford, because he's in the moonbat capital of the United States, will forever be that retrarded monkey smoking a bong, pounding on the keyboard and getting a paycheck for it.
With odds like those, I am giving up my dream of becoming a writer. I just don't have the stomach to get rejection notices while Rall and Morford are depositing paychecks.

As a student of a previous institution, you will be familiar with the steps necessary for completing a degree: enrolling in major coursework, completing a sufficient number of credits with satisfactory grades, meeting general knowledge requirements through electives and required courses, and potentially completing a culminating project or thesis.
While a number of the steps for obtaining a graduate degree are identical, how a graduate student obtains a degree is based on a different set of expectations throughout the program. In fact, there are expectations for graduate students, departments, and the entire institution, as students progress towards graduation. These expectations can be positive, by allowing you to create your own ability to manage and meet the university's goals, and they can be negative, in showing you precisely which conduct is prohibited, especially for future professionals in the your field of study. Let's look at the expectations for students first.
Graduate students have their own set of academic expectations, all of which are structured to make graduate students active participants in their own education. There are three general expectations of graduate students at UF:
How you pursue and satisfy these three expectations will vary throughout your graduate career. Some may carry more emphasis later in your degree program (e.g. when you seek professional development guidance in preparation for a new career in your area of study), or may be practiced differently within your program of study compared to many others (e.g. how to work well with your advisor as a distance learning master's degree student may differ significantly from doing so as an on-campus master's or doctoral student). Let's discuss each of the expectations separately.
Graduate students will be held responsible for meeting academic requirements set by their own graduate program, as well as any college-level, or university-level, requirements that must be met in order to qualify for graduation. You should:
For our Ph.D students, you should develop an individualized development plan (IDP) with their advisor, and check-in periodically with your advisor on your progress.
For Master's and distance learning students, you may work directly with your graduate coordinator or graduate staff member to confirm your academic progress, or schedule a chat session to discuss coursework and degree requirements. In some cases, the graduate coordinator will also be your advisor for meeting program-specific requirements.
To be a successful graduate student, you must master the ability to not only comprehend the relevant literature in your field, but also acquire the skills to synthesize previous research to produce new insights.
Some degree programs will require that you become a regular contributor to research, and publish your findings to build knowledge in your respective field. Others will train you to understand and monitor the current research literature, and create applications of your acquired knowledge for a future professional career outside of academia. All programs will required that you uphold the ethical and quality standards of published work and professional engagement set by peers and colleagues.
Many graduate programs provide professional development training and background information that is specific to the aims they have identified for their graduates. It is important to work with your advisor, graduate staff and graduate coordinator to both know about and to pursue skills that can prepare you for your future career and personal goals.
Programs may offer workshops on specific topics for professional development, especially if there are unique skills to be developed (e.g. writing an article and preparing it for publication may have different norms in different fields of study). The Graduate School and its partners (particularly the Career Resource Center) also hold professional development workshops throughout the year on a variety of topics for developing skills in your program as well as for your future career plans.
For the expectations set by your program, please consult your departmental handbook or visit our listing of graduate program handbooks.
As a graduate student at UF, you can expect to have support within your graduate program, and within the institution, to pursue and complete your degree program. You can find this support throughout a variety of resources on campus, based on the role they play in your graduate career.
You should receive a stated policy handbook or set of policies from your graduate program, to follow throughout your graduate career. It will outline program-specific requirements for your major, as well as exam/project policies, enrollment procedures, committee requirements, and other regulations you will need to follow to successfully complete your degree.
Your college will support your academic pursuits, and provide structure for related graduate degree programs. They will also review and evaluate petitions and exemptions, should you require an adjustment to existing Graduate School or university policy. The Dean's Office will be your conduit for navigating petitions and other requests that may need approval outside your department.
The Graduate School will outline relevant policy for the general requirements for graduate degrees of all types at UF. You will find updated documentation available in the Graduate Catalog and Graduate Handbook, for maintaining your status as a graduate student.
As students at the University of Florida, you are expected to produce your own academic work and participate in the academic community in ways that preserve it as a location for open and inclusive dialogue and research.
To do so, students must follow the Student Honor Code, and commit to producing their own work throughout their academic careers. Similarly, acting responsibly at UF requires following the Code of Conduct, which outlines the potential academic violations that may result in disciplinary charges from a campus-wide committee.
For any questions about the procedure for reporting academic dishonesty, appealing a decision, or managing conflict within the classroom, please contact the Student Conduct & Conflict Resolution unit, in the Dean of Students Office.
Graduate students at UF are expected to follow appropriate protocol for research practices on campus. For those students funded by federal grants or fellowships from the NIH, NSF, or USDA NIFA, you must complete Responsible Conduct for Research training in accordance with UF policy.
Students who are conducting or assisting with research on human subjects may also be required to submit a proposal for approval by UF's Institutional Review Board (IRB).
The next page in this series will discuss how to maintain your progress as a graduate student.

A terrifying-looking prehistoric fish has been spotted in rivers in Derbyshire and Yorkshire.
Sea lampreys – which are snake-like creatures with a circular disc of razor-sharp teeth instead of jaws – are slowy returning to the rivers Derwent and Ouse after the Environment Agency installed new aids to allow them to swim upstream using their sucker-like mouths.
The fish predate dinosaurs by 200 million years and can grow up to 3ft long.
Industrial pollution and man-made barriers had reduced their numbers over the past 200 years, the agency said.
Environment Agency fisheries expert Simon Toms said: "For the last 200 hundred years, some rivers have not been capable of supporting lamprey species as a result of water quality, poor habitat and manmade barriers.
"Now that water quality has improved and some of these barriers have been removed we are seeing lampreys return to the upper reaches of rivers such as the Ouse and Derwent, where they were absent as recently as 30 years ago.
"These are fascinating fish, living fossils, which have a special place in the history and traditions of this country.
"We hope that with a helping hand from us they will be able to thrive in England's rivers once again."
During the Middle Ages lampreys were widely eaten by the upper classes throughout Europe. It is thought King Henry I died from overindulging on lampreys.
Lamprey pie also features in the TV series Game of Thrones. In The Prince of Winterfell episode, Tyrion Lannister dines on lamprey pie while talking over plans for the Battle of the Blackwater with his sister Queen Cersei.

'Mammoth's penis' found on north Norfolk coast
An amateur metal detector got the internet talking with his unusual find.
An amateur metal detector got the internet talking with an unusual find in north Norfolk.
Robert Mee unearthed a phallus-shaped fossil on the same stretch of coastline where the skeleton of a mammoth was discovered 27 years ago - prompting claims it is a mammoth penis.
He made the discovery following a visit to Hunstanton - just 30 miles from where the West Runton mammoth, which last walked on the Norfolk coast more than 700,000 years ago and is often referred to as an elephant, was found.
Mr Mee shared a snap of his find on a social media page for fossil hunters in Norfolk and appealed for help to identify it.
Commenting on the post, Aylmerton Field Study Centre trainee instructor Niall Thorogood, who found a baby mammoth tooth on West Runton Beach in April, said: "Odd shape."
Richard Rockett said: "It looks like a fossilised phallus."
Alison Cramp added: "Elephant penis?"
Some experts have dismissed it as a trace fossil, such as faeces left behind by animals, rather than the preserved remains of the body of the actual animal itself.
Over the past 27 years north Norfolk's eroding coastline has yielded up scores of prehistoric treasures including the oldest human footprints found outside Africa, and the most complete skeleton of a mammoth anywhere in the world.
Work has begun on branding a stretch from West Runton to Happisburgh as the Deep History Coast, reflecting its global importance in the story of life on earth.

My 100th post
I dedicate my 100th post to my mother.
When I was little Tori and I called her "mama"...for a while it was "mommy". I'm not sure how old we were when we started to refer to her as "mother" but we were pretty young when it started. When Andrew was a baby he started calling her "mother"...we had to remind him that she was "Nana" to him. People look at us funny when they hear us call her "mother", it sounds so formal...but I couldn't imagine calling her anything else.
She has taken very good care of me since the day I was born. Somehow I think it was probably easier back then because I couldn't think for myself. Once I started "thinking" for myself things got a lot harder.
She used these hands to lift me up out of my crib, to comb my hair in to the shape of a palm tree, to cook me dinner, and to give me a bath every single night of my childhood. In the early 90's when I was diagnosed with cancer she did the same things for me. Fortunately I didn't have enough hair for her to comb in to the shape of a palm tree. In this picture she is using these hands to fish money out of her wallet so she can buy me dinner.
This is the look that I got when I told her that I hadn't cleaned my room, when I disagreed with something she said, when I told her that I hadn't gotten that noise on my car checked out, when I walked down Pacific Coast Highway after dark, (when I was 47 years old!). I also got this look when I said, "Hey..I'm going to take a bus trip across the country all by myself!", or when I said, "I have a great idea! I'm going to move in with a man who is 18 years older than me, who is the mortal enemy of my father, and play house!"
This is the look that says, "We are SUAVE groupies!! Aye carumba!" (We have matching hair do's!)
My mom has worn many hats in her life. She's been a daughter, a little sister,a baton twirler, a wife, a grieving young mother, a mother of twins, a maid, a taxi driver, a seamstress, a cook, a gardener, a relentless cheerleader, a dog trainer, boo boo monitor, a Mc Donalds employee, a traffic clerk, a customer service rep, an aunt, a friend, a band booster president, a Kingsmen bingo worker, a shopper, a care giver, a cat rescuer, a grandma...but I think I like this hat the best:
How many "Nana's" know what a "myspace" pose is? This one does:
I do what I can to make her happy but it's not easy. She doesn't like anyone to spend money on her so you kind of have to sneak it in on her. It took 66 years but she finally sat still long enough to wear a Hilton robe:
My mom has been one of the few constants in my life. She has done whatever it takes to provide for me and my sister. It is because of her that Christmases in the Wyatt house are gift giving orgies for the kids. It is because of her that I like to go places and do things. My dad always said, "If the wheels are rolling then Nancy's in the car!" It is because of her that I learned to revere my grandparents. It is because of her that I have the self esteem to do things like this:
And that's all I've got to say about that. (or else I will start to cry.)

If you asked anyone how to define "wild swimming" I can imagine you would get as many different answers as places you can do it. For me swimming is just, well, swimming wherever I do it and whatever I wear. However, if I was to picture the wild side of my passion I guess it would have to be swimming in the sea. I live in London and as much as I love swimming outdoors, most of the time I am confined to lidos or the handful of open water venues around the capital. I rarely have time to make it to the coast. I had been tempted all summer by a number of swim events taking place in the sea but never got around to entering any, and so many also sell out so quickly.

This paper describes a proven and language-independent technique for teaching computer programming. The technique employs typical-use examples and minimal examples to illustrate language features and programming concepts. Both types of examples are presented to students in the class-room and are made available on-line.
A typical-use example is a simplified version of a real application. It may be short, but is rarely short enough to be presented in its entirety. A minimal example is focused on a single feature or programming concept. It is a complete executable program, crafted to be as short as possible. Minimal examples rarely compute useful results, because so much is left out. However, minimal examples can illustrate key language features with impressive brevity and clarity, because everything not directly relevant is left out.
Keywords: Programming, C++, Perl, Make
We present a technique for teaching programming by example. Our approach is novel in so far as we make heavy use of minimal examples as well as the more traditional typical-use examples.
A typical-use example is a simplified version of a real application. It is short, but usually not short enough to be presented in its entirety in the class-room. A minimal example is focused on a single feature or programming concept. It is a complete executable program, crafted to be as short as possible. It is instrumented for observability with no attempt to do anything other than to illustrate a point.
Minimal examples advantage both student and teacher. For the student, they facilitate self-study. Students can quickly read, modify, and observe programs and program behaviour. Minimal examples can also be used by students to focus their questions to the instructor and for problem isolation during debugging.
For the instructor, minimal examples are ideal for class presentation as they often fit on a single transparency. Once the examples have been prepared, they can be easily modified for use in exams. A question based on a minimal example usually takes the form: given a program, provide the exact output. These questions are revealing since there is no way to determine the correct output without a thorough understanding of the source code. The answers are easy to grade as they are short and there is only one correct answer.
Our first goal in presenting this work is to demonstrate the use of minimal examples in teaching programming. Our second goal is to promote a certain kind of paper for contributions to WCCCE in the future. Often new teaching proposals, even very good ones, require a substantial change in our current approach. Most of us attending WCCCE are so busy that we cannot find time for such change, and so we often neglect promising teaching proposals because we lack the time to implement them. However, many instructors know of simple, "standalone" techniques that can be thoroughly explained in 20 minutes and can be put into practice with only a small change in our current approach. Like the "little language" approach popularized by languages like Awk, these "little papers" can offer surprisingly good results for modest effort. We hope that this little paper will be followed by others like it at future WCCCE meetings.
We have applied minimal examples with excellent results to learning and teaching C++. Our standard approach to a tricky C++ feature is to develop a small set of minimal examples that answer the most important questions about the feature. Usually, the shorter the example, the quicker we can learn from it and the more confidence we have in the answers it yields. As instructors, developing the examples nearly always exposes misunderstandings we have about the feature.
In the remainder of this section, we present minimal examples illustrating (1) constructors and destructors, (2) exceptions, and (3) assignment versus initialization. We have written dozens of other minimal examples illustrating templates, inheritance, virtual functions, and other C++ features.
Throughout the paper, each minimal example is presented in the same format:
|Driving question:
the question that the minimal example is designed to answer.
Often an example is developed in response to some confusion about
a language feature.
Initially, the question is usually vague and ill formed;
the question and the "minimal answer" are developed iteratively.
the complete source code of the example.
the exact program output.
a brief discussion of the main points illustrated.
#include <iostream.h> class C { public: C(int i0) : i(i0) { cout << "C: " << i << endl; } ~C() { cout << "~C: " << i << endl; } private: int i; }; C c1(1); // static int main() { cout << "main start" << endl; C c2(2); // automatic cout << "main middle" << endl; C* C3 = new C(3); // dynamic cout << "main end" << endl; }
C: 1 main start C: 2 main middle C: 3 main end ~C: 2 ~C: 1
#include <iostream.h> class X {}; void f() { cout << "before throw" << endl; throw X(); cout << "after throw" << endl; } int main() { cout << "main start" << endl; try { cout << "before call to f" << endl; f(); cout << "after call to f" << endl; } catch (X) { cout << "X caught" << endl; } cout << "main end" << endl; }
main start before call to f before throw X caught main end
#include <iostream.h> class C { public: C(int i0) : i(i0) { cout << "C(int) i: " << i << endl; } C(C& c0) : i(c0.i) { cout << "C(C&) i: " << i << endl; } void operator=(C& rhs) { cout << "operator=(C&) lhs: " << i << " rhs: " << rhs.i << endl; } private: int i; }; int main() { C c0(0); // initialization C c1 = 1 // initialization C c2 = c1 // initialization c0 = c1; // assignment }
C(int) i: 0 C(int) i: 1 C(C&) i: 1 operator=(C&) lhs: 0 rhs: 1
It cannot be overemphasized that assignment and initialization are different operations. [Stroustrup93,page 239]However, because the "=" symbol may appear in both assignment and initialization, even experienced C++ programmers sometimes confuse the two. This example is based on the class C, instrumented for observability. Here it is the constructors and the operator= function that are instrumented. (With its void return type, this operator= is unconventional but is sufficient for our purposes.) In main are four simple statements showing that the distinguishing characteristic of initialization and assignment is not the "=" symbol. Rather, the crucial issue is whether the object is being created for the first time (initialization), or already existed and is being overwritten (assignment).
Perl [Wall91] is a public-domain language developed by Larry Wall, and has been ported to the Unix, DOS, and Macintosh platforms. Perl is a blend of the Unix shell languages, and the Unix awk, sed, and grep utilities. It is widely used by programmers, systems administrators and database administrators.
An array in Perl is a sequence of scalars. How are arrays of composites (multi-dimensional arrays) emulated?
$;=A; $x{1,1}=a; $x{1,2}=b; $x{2,1}=c; foreach $key (keys(%x)) { print "x{$key} = ",$x{$key},"\n"; }
x{1A1} = a x{2A1} = c x{1A2} = b
Perl emulates multi-dimensional arrays using associative arrays. An associative array in Perl consists of zero or more key/value pairs. Each key and each value must be a scalar: a string or a number. A multi-dimensional reference is joined into a string that is then used in the normal way to index an associative array. For example, x{1,1} is translated by Perl into x{join($;,1,1)}. The effect of this is to join the strings "1" and "1" together into a single string. The join function uses the value of the special variable $; as a separator. Above, we assigned $; the value "A" (the value of $; defaults to null). Consequently, the join-produced string is "1A1" and the the value of x{1,1} is the scalar associated with the string "1A1".
What strings are matched by the Perl metacharacters +, *, ^ and []?
@a = ('bb', 'bb*', ' *', ' +', '^b', '[^b]*', ); $s0 = "aa*bbb+1234?"; foreach $s (@a) { if ($s0 =~ /$s/) { print "$s: $`!$&!$'\n"; } else { print "no match\n"; } }
bb: aa*!bb!b+1234? bb*: aa*!bbb!+1234? *: !!aa*bbb+1234? no match no match [^b]*: !aa*!bbb+1234?
The string $s0 is matched against all the patterns in @a. For each pattern, the pattern and the value of $s0 are written out on a single line . In the output, $s0 is partitioned such that the substring matched by the pattern is enclosed by a pair of exclamation marks ('!'). Note the distinction between "no match" and a match on the empty string.
The meanings of the six patterns in @a are as follows:
| 'bb':
matched by a string with two consecutive 'b's.
| 'bb*':
matched by a string with a single 'b' followed by
zero or more consecutive occurrences of b.
| ' *':
matched by a string with zero or more consecutive blanks.
| ' +':
matched by a string with one or more consecutive blanks.
| '^b':
matched by a string with 'b' as the first character in the
| '[^b]*':
matched by a string with zero or more consecutive occurrences of any
character other than a 'b'.
Make is a Unix tool that streamlines the process of generating and maintaining
object files and executable programs.
Make allows the programmer to compile programs consistently
and eliminates unnecessary recompilation of
modules that are unaffected by source code changes.
Make reads a user-created program that contains information on
what files to build and how to build them.
Make programs take the form:
target...: [dependency ... ] [rule] ...
In what order are targets processed by make?
a: b c touch a c: touch c b: touch b
touch b touch c touch a
Once make begins, it processes targets as it encounters them in a depth-first dependency scan. In the above example, let us assume that the files a, b and c do not exist in the current directory. Make starts with target a. Target a has dependencies b and c. They have not been checked yet. Consequently, make defers processing a until b and c have been checked against any dependencies they might have. Next, b is checked. It has no dependencies so make considers it out of date and builds it by executing its associated rule. Next, c is checked. It has no dependencies so make considers it out of date and builds it by executing its associated rule. Finally, the way is clear to process a. Since at least one of a's dependencies have been modified, a is considered out of date and must be built by executing its associated rule.
We have presented minimal examples in C++, Perl, and Make, showing how just a dozen or so carefully chosen lines can yield impressive clarity. With minimal examples, the guiding principle is "more is less". We trim the examples brutally, asking the same question about every keystroke: "Can it be omitted?".
We routinely "instrument" the examples, using print statements to make selected aspects of program behavior visible. Frequently, an example is little more than a few uses of a language feature, plus the appropriate instrumentation.
While this paper emphasizes minimal examples, it is important to note that they are most effective in combination with typical-use examples. In this paper, we have emphasized minimal examples because most readers are already familiar with typical-use examples.
We have used minimal examples successfully in first, second, third, and fourth year courses, and in industrial short courses. Across programming languages and skill levels, we have found minimal examples to be an effective technique: enjoyable to create and present, and revealing and easy to grade on exams.

Initial Analysis of trojan.osx.boonana.a
The initial infection vector of the Boonana trojan is through a message on social networking sites similar to "Is this you in this video?" which includes a link to an external site. Upon clicking the link, a java applet will attempt to load in the user's web browser.
The web browser will then prompt the user to allow content signed by an untrusted certificate to run.
When the user accepts the certificate, the applet loads.
Once the applet is loaded, it displays a fake YouTube interface to simulate a "video" by displaying a random picture from a site like hotornot.com, and installs itself in a hidden directory named ".jnana" in the user's Home folder. At this time it starts running in the background and communicating with a variety of servers.
(Side note: There appears to be a counter on the page indicating "hits" or site access, which increases with each visit. This does not indicate the number of successful infections, but this is just one of many distribution sites.)
During our testing, the malicious Java applet communicated with a Command & Control server, and presented an installer window at a random time after accessing the malicious site. This installer did not indicate that it had been downloaded from the web which indicates it is avoiding the quarantine flag typically set by programs such as Safari.
The installer does require authentication by the user to install its payload. The installer does a few things. First, it copies the contents of the hidden .jnana directory from the user's Home folder to /var/root/.jnana/. Next, it installs a process to run at startup along with a parameters file in /Library/StartupItems/OSXDriverUpdates/. The two files are called "OSXDriverUpdates" and "StartupParameters.plist."
The installer also replaces the "sudoers" file in /etc with a modified copy that allows any command to be run as root without a password.
Once installed and running, the malware starts a launchd task to ensure it relaunches automatically if it exits. The launchd task is installed at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/jnana.plist.
When running, the malware attempts to connect to a number of sites, including sites to obtain the current IP address for the infected computer, as well as search portals, and other command and control servers.
Manual Removal
To manually remove the malware from infected machines, run the following terminal commands. Make sure to unload the launchd task in order to stop attempts to respawn the process:
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/jnana.plist
Make sure the java process is no longer running:
killall java
Remove the files:
sudo rm -rf ~/.jnana/
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/OSXDriverUpdates/
sudo rm -rf /var/root/.jnana/
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/LaunchAgents/jnana.plist
Finally, either manually edit the /etc/sudoers file, or restore it from a known good copy, making sure to set appropriate ownership and permissions.
Threat level
Due to the fact that the Command and Control servers for the malware are still active, gathering information such as IP addresses (most likely for control purposes), as well as the modification of the sudoers file to allow passwordless access, we maintain a threat level rating of critical for trojan.osx.boonana.a. In many cases, especially with botnets, the malware might not initially exhibit malicious behavior, but can become active at any time as the command and control servers are updated.
This post will be updated as further information becomes available.

Dirt pushed aside as his marks are left in the corners of my mind. From behind her eyes I once saw everything, but now only black caverns remain on her face, her smile just a fractured line, no words leave her, the hornets fly free as the attempted escape fails again.
Where did the day go ? Who covered the light that was meant to guide us ? Grey crosses fill the gaps left behind, an unsettling heavy breath repeats its secrets.
I'm lost in this place.
Who is it that follows my body covering the footprints I thought I was leaving to follow back ?
All I see are the bones of dead animals.
I'll try to build myself a shelter from the evil coursing though me, as I don't want you to see the side of me that I can't explain.
Her faceless body stands watching me from every doorway, behind each broken promise, between the ivory handles of every knife you've hidden from my desire to be free.
And behind her stands me, I see myself from this hole and I know I'll not hear my own screams.

Increasingly, professors with academic-freedom complaints have been turning to younger groups, like the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which has a track record of moving quickly. It does not perform lengthy investigations. It simply sends an e-mail message to reporters, publicizing a professor's problem with administrators. It uses news-media exposure to persuade colleges to change their policies. Some accuse FIRE of taking up primarily conservative causes, but it does get attention—and frequently gets results.

Coordinator for Strategic Military Affairs named to governor's team
PHOENIX – Governor Jan Brewer today announced Patt Parker as the new Coordinator for Strategic Military Affairs, a role in which she will advise the governor on issues regarding the state's military operations.
Ms. Parker will serve as the central coordinator for state, federal and local officials regarding executive, legislative and federal actions necessary to sustaining Arizona's current military operations and enhancing our preparedness to respond to potential new missions. In coordination with the Military Affairs Commission and other entities, Ms. Parker will assist Arizona military officials and communities in identifying and appropriating resources for the planning and improvement of our state's military installations, with the overall objective of protecting and enhancing the economic and defense interests of Arizona.
"Patt brings years of experience and expertise in public service, leadership and training and military affairs – including a keen familiarity with issues related to Base Realignment and Closure," said Governor Brewer. "She is a welcome addition to this administration, and will play a valuable role in Arizona's continued efforts to protect and strengthen our critical military operations and installations."
"The Governor's announcement of Patt Parker joining her staff is welcomed news, and underscores the importance the Governor places on Arizona being a military-friendly state," said Lisa Atkins, Co-Chair of the Arizona Military Affairs Commission. Arizonans are grateful for the men, women and families who choose to serve, and our commitment to national defense is reflected by a strong track record of protecting and enhancing the military installations and missions located in our state. Patt's leadership and experience will be invaluable to advancing that mission."
Prior to joining Governor Brewer's administration, Ms. Parker worked for the Department of Business and Economic Development in Baltimore, Maryland. She served as Deputy Director of Military and Federal Affairs, where she developed strategy related to BRAC, and was appointed as a member of the Governor's Emergency Management Agency and Veterans Task Force. She previously was the President/Owner of Dio Sicuro, LLC, a Leadership Development and Coaching company in Huntingtown, Maryland; Special Assistant to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of the Army, Pentagon; and worked in Intelligence Operations for the U.S. Department of Defense. Ms. Parker received numerous awards for her work, including the Civilian Sustained Superior Award; DCI's Meritorious Unit Citation; National Intelligence Meritorious Unit Citation; and Commander's Award for Civilian Service.
"Governor Brewer's appointment is both appropriate and timely," said Ron Shoopman, President of the Southern Arizona Leadership Council and Brigadier General (ret.). "Defense cuts and sequestration now threaten the future of Arizona's military installations. State leadership is essential if we are to protect our defense assets and preserve the proud role Arizona plays in defending our nation."
Ms. Parker is actively involved in volunteer and community organizations, including for the National, Maryland and Arizona Federations of Republican Women, Dodie Londen Excellence in Public Service Series, Prescott Chamber of Commerce and more. She received her Masters of Science in National Security Strategy through the National Defense University's National War College; Masters of Business Administration from Marymount University; Masters in Organizational Effectiveness from Army Management Staff College; and Bachelor of Arts in Education and History from Marymount University.
