What is the comparison to bluehost.com on avg site loading time?
I've been using bluehost for 6 years and it has gotten so slow on the backend for editing in Wordpress that it eats up a lot of my time. What is the load time like when editing?
Thank you for who takes their time out to help!
As a general reference, if you're unhappy with any hosting provider, talk to the customer support first as they may give you specific insights about your situation. Your site may be not functioning properly because, for example, the wordpress installation has some rogue plugin or theme that slows things down. Or the hosting provider has your site on old/non-performing hardware. Or there are networking issues between your provider and you, which slows things down.
That said, in general, Wordpress instances at DreamHost are highly regarded for speed and reliability. Have a look at our Wordpress hosting options https://www.dreamhost.com/hosting/wordpress/ and try it yourself: there is a 97 days money back guarantee if you're not satisfied.


On September 9, 2011, the Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR) announced certain tax relief provisions to the victims of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene.
Coinciding with certain IRS provisions, the DOR is postponing until October 31, 2011, certain deadlines for individuals who reside, and businesses whose principal place of business is located, in areas which have been affected by the disaster.
The relief also applies to taxpayers not in the disaster area but whose records are located in the disaster area. In addition, certain relief workers may also be entitled to relief.
Special rules apply to paper filing and affected taxpayers should review theDOR website or contact or DOR Headquarters in Atlanta at 1-877-423-6711 for further guidance.


Just my take on the classic IN bits / OUT bits graph. This allows me to get a good idea of a port / device is sending more than it is recieving with a quick glance instead of analyzing the lines.
I imported the template but I can't find it in any drop down menus for any existing or new device. Am I just missing a step?
what should the "Object ID (OID)" be set to? this is blank when I import the template, and snmpget is requiring it. The graph displays, but is blank, otherwise.
You need to perform a SNMP Walk to get the correct OID associated with the interface you would like to monitor.
.. has anyone got an answer for this yet?

Separate : The Story of Plessy V. Ferguson, and America's Journey from Slavery to Segregation
"Absorbing.... Segregation is not one story but many. Luxenberg has written his with energy, elegance and a heart aching for a world without it."--James Goodman, The New York Times Book Review
Separate myth-shattering narrative of one of the most consequential Supreme Court cases of the nineteenth century, Plessy v. Ferguson. The 1896 ruling embraced racial segregation, and its reverberations are still felt today. Drawing on letters, diaries, and archival collections, Steve Luxenberg reveals the origins of racial separation and its pernicious grip on American life. He tells the story through the lives of the people caught up in the case: Louis Martinet, who led the resisters from the mixed-race community of French New Orleans; Albion Tourgée, a best-selling author and the country's best-known white advocate for civil rights; Justice Henry Billings Brown, from antislavery New England, whose majority ruling sanctioned separation; Justice John Harlan, the Southerner from a slaveholding family whose singular dissent cemented his reputation as a steadfast voice for justice. Sweeping, swiftly paced, and richly detailed, Separate is an urgently needed exploration of our nation's most devastating divide. - publisher note

The fish, known as fugu, is an expensive winter delicacy but requires a license to prepare because of the dangers of mishandling. Its liver is mostly toxic and is banned from sale.
Regional health officials on Tuesday said a supermarket in the central city of Gamagori sold five packages of assorted blowfish meat. The inclusion of the liver in the package could have contaminated the other meat with the poison, although nobody has died since the mistake.
The alarm was raised Monday when a buyer of one package took it to a health center. With four other packages sold but unaccounted for, city officials alerted residents via the emergency loudspeakers normally used for earthquakes and other disasters. Two packages have since been returned.

Friday Feature - Keanu "Ballistic"
Hawaii Hip Hop Artist Keanu "Ballistic" released his debut music project- Munky Mixtape on Datpiff in late August. Like many artists I've featured, I met Ballistic at Team Backpack's MULA 2015. As a fellow Hawaii kid, it was inevitable that Ballistic and I Iinked up. As both an avid Hip Hop fan and participant, I love listening to mixtapes/albums front to back. I feel that artists put a lot of time and effort into full-length projects and that listeners should experience it as such. Ballistic definitely put a lot of heart and hardwork into Munky and it is a pleasure to feature him on this platform.
Opening with a Run DMC-styled track, "Munky" (the album's name and the title of track 1) immediately shows off Ballistic's youthful energy and homage to his old school influence. When conversing with Ballistic about his inspiration behind Munky, it was obvious that this young man is uniquely creative. Part comic, part skit-writer, and part rapper, all of these elements come together in Munky. "Munky was a project I had been working on for a little less than two years, independently. The cover art, mixing, mastering, and vocals were all recorded by me," said Ballistic.
He first announced this mixtape back in the summer following MULA 2015 in a heartfelt-vibed video blog. Then, he followed it with a hella funny video of him dressed in a monkey suit while he scares tourists all over Waikiki. (Waikiki is sort of like the Hollywood Blvd of Hawaii.) In his own munky fashion, Ballistic jumped from trees, behind bushes, and even did some breakdancing moves. Just go watch it! Lol.
"Munky Mixtape" is available for free streaming and download via Datpiff. The tape includes original and remix tracks and overall showcases Ballistic's lyrical skill and style. As an up and coming Youtuber, he has shared consistent content on his channel for about 4 years. Currently, Ballistic sports 7,000+ subscribers, 800,000+ views, and has already gotten some looks from MTV and other sponsors. Staying true to his passions, "I plan to pursue a career in music and acting, even if it means only working at Tower Records or doing commercials for GoodWill." At the end of the day, Ballistic just wants people to feel good about themselves and open up to the "Munky" in all of us. Check out Ballistic's Munky Mixtape here!
Jehzan: What is your personal favorite track off your Munky Mixtape?
Ballistic: It would have to be "Stay High" because it's a very personal and emotional song for me. Like many songs, it was inspired by a breakup. One day I was listening to Tove Lo's "Habits" (Stay High) - Hipper Sabotage Remix, and the words poured out of me. I think that a lot of people will be able to relate to this song whether it be about losing a special someone or even a family member or friend. I like where this song takes me.

Track Tuesday - "No School" By Bombz
I'm not a "trap, lean, edm, drug, gangster, back-packer".. I'm bombzilla the "track slasher" - BOMBZ
One of Hawaii and Las Vegas' finest MCs is back with a new joint for his listeners! Check out Bombz' "No School" music video and track on his Youtube channel or via Facebook. As always, no project is half-assed by this hard-working man. Bombz continues to show unique style and all around artistry with every project. Self-written, self-produced, and self-edited, "No School" pays homage to classic Hip Hop in a fresh manner, allowing Bombz to show off his impressive and clever lyricism. Shot around various spots in Las Vegas, it shows a mirrored lifestyle to his days spent in Honolulu's K-Town (Kalihi). It could probably be said that liquor stores, empty parking lots, and other avenues are where Bombz and his boys got most of their schooling. Hence, "No School" doesn't mean that Bombz lacks knowledge or skill of any sort, because that is certainly not the case.
At a time when most dudes in their mid to late 20s are slaving away at 9-5 jobs or no longer taking time for themselves due to having kids or a family, Bombz pushes harder than ever in his music grind... even if it means no sleep. Needless to say, Bombz is a well-experienced father, husband, and often works overtime at his current job. "No School" is truly a bold statement that Bombz is one of a kind. He doesn't belong to any "school" of rap and being put in a box or labeling him is a big mistake. Take a look at "No School" and you mos' def won't be disappointed. Let's also help this underrated artist get the views he deserves!
Friday Feature - Babii Cris
Straight outta San Francisco, CA stands a multi-talented young female by the name of Cris Cross aka "Babii Cris." But don't you dare let her small stature or baby face smile fool you. There is nothing "baby" about her grind, talent, skill, and passion when it comes to Hip Hop music. While my personal Rap credentials are fairly beginner, I honestly feel a lot of 2Pac when I hear this girl flow. Much like Pac, Babii Cris' passion for Hip Hop goes beyond rap itself. She is a profound lyricist that is building her own army of "young philos" (philosophers), high minded individuals. Impressively, she also serves as part of Hip Hop 4 Change in her Nor-Cal community. This artist works AM to PM and back to AM all over again, of which her skill and work ethic can be seen even through a "screen."
2015 has been a particularly challenging and fulfilling year for this already well-seasoned artist. Most notably, she wrote, produced, mixed, and mastered her very first album entitled "Triple Threat," which is available for digital purchase on almost all online music platforms. "2015 has been a lot of trial and error. I have learned a lot about trust on the business side things, but I also credit my tight circle of connects and family for so many more of the successes we've seen this year," said Babii Cris. It is evident that she lives Hip Hop, from the pen and paper to the mic and to the youth and other artists in her neighborhood.
As a "90s kid" born to teenage parents, Babii Cris grew up listening to late 80s/early 90s Gangsta Rap and was heavily influenced by early millennial artists like Eminem, Amanda Perez, Outkast, and NB Ridahz. She also expresses her mother's family ties in the Hawaiian islands, which expanded her ears to reggae and acoustic- styled music. All of these musical influences can be witnessed throughout the variety of tracks on her album. She remembers having a love for writing poetry and rap from the age of 8, and soon after learned the ropes in recording and editing vocals. Throughout the rest of her youth, she continued honing her skills and have positioned herself for many opportunities. Now as she turns 22, she is able to start building a steady stream of income through her music and work in Hip Hop culture.
Aside of her strong social media buzz especially through successes like this year's Team Backpack Mission Underground 2015 Cypher Draft, Babii Cris is also widely known for hosting a Hip Hop showcase called "Unrapped." In this monthly event hosted at the Honey Hive Gallery in San Francisco, Unrapped is A Hip-Hop community show with rap cyphers, dancing, and a whole lot of networking. Profound graphic designer Espejo Designs and Babii Cris set a platform for artists to support, learn, promote, and build with each other and fans. "We want to give people another platform to be able to UNRAP their art and their talent, from music, to dance, to art, to anything that you do to express yourself," said Babii Cris. For this young MC/Producer/Community Organizer, the grind is seemingly never ending. But with every hard challenge, Babii Cris is only at the beginning of a very promising career in all avenues of creative art.

Industry Employment in California Metropolitan Areas
Vista filtrada
This dataset contains Industry Employment for California metropolitan areas and is derived from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) dataset.
Current Employment by Industry (CES) data reflect jobs by "place of work." It does not include the self-employed, unpaid family workers, and private household employees. Jobs located in the county or the metropolitan area that pay wages and salaries are counted although workers may live outside the area. Jobs are counted regardless of the number of hours worked. Individuals who hold more than one job (i.e. multiple job holders) may be counted more than once. The employment figure is an estimate of the number of jobs in the area (regardless of the place of residence of the workers) rather than a count of jobs held by the residents of the area.

Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) - Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale MD
The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) Survey collects data from a sample of establishments and calculates employment and wage estimates by occupation, industry, and geographic area. The semiannual survey covers all non-farm industries. Data are collected by the Employment Development Department in cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, US Department of Labor. The OES Program estimates employment and wages for over 800 occupations from an annual sample of approx. 34,000 California employers. It also produces employment and wage estimates for statewide, Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), and Balance of State areas. Estimates are a snapshot in time and should not be used as a time series.

Long-Term Occupational Employment Projections - Los Angeles County
Long-term Occupational Projections for a 10-year time horizon are provided for the state and its labor market regions to provide individuals and organizations with an occupational outlook to make informed decisions on individual career and organizational program development. While occupational openings data are presented on an annual basis, numbers of annual openings may fall above or below the average for each year in the 10-year projections period.

Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) - Los Angeles County
The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) Program is a Federal-State cooperative program between the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the California EDD's Labor Market Information Division (LMID). The QCEW program produces a comprehensive tabulation of employment and wage information for workers covered by California Unemployment Insurance (UI) laws and Federal workers covered by the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) program.
The QCEW program serves as a near census of monthly employment and quarterly wage information by 6-digit industry codes from the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) at the national, state, and county levels. At the national level, the QCEW program publishes employment and wage data for nearly every NAICS industry. At the state and local area level, the QCEW program publishes employment and wage data down to the 6-digit NAICS industry level, if disclosure restrictions are met. In accordance with the BLS policy, data provided to the Bureau in confidence are used only for specified statistical purposes and are not published. The BLS withholds publication of Unemployment Insurance law-covered employment and wage data for any industry level when necessary to protect the identity of cooperating employers.
Data from the QCEW program serve as an important input to many BLS programs. The Current Employment Statistics and the Occupational Employment Statistics programs use the QCEW data as the benchmark source for employment. The UI administrative records collected under the QCEW program serve as a sampling frame for the BLS establishment surveys.
In addition, the data serve as an input to other federal and state programs. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the Department of Commerce uses the QCEW data as the base for developing the wage and salary component of personal income.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) and California's EDD use the QCEW data to administer the Unemployment Insurance program. The QCEW data accurately reflect the extent of coverage of California's UI laws and are used to measure UI revenues; national, state and local area employment; and total and UI taxable wage trends.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes new QCEW data in its County Employment and Wages news release on a quarterly basis. The BLS also publishes a subset of its quarterly data through the Create Customized Tables system, and full quarterly industry detail data at all geographic levels.

Local Area Unemployment Statistics - Alameda County
The Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program is a Federal-State cooperative effort in which monthly estimates of total employment and unemployment are prepared for approximately 7,300 areas, including counties, cities and metropolitan statistical areas. These estimates are key indicators of local economic conditions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor is responsible for the concepts, definitions, technical procedures, validation, and publication of the estimates that State employment security agencies prepare under agreement with BLS. Estimates for the remainder of the substate labor market areas are produced through a building-block approach known as the "Handbook method." This procedure also uses data from several sources, including the CPS, the CES program, State UI systems, and the decennial census, to create estimates that are adjusted to the statewide measures of employment and unemployment. Below the labor market area level, estimates are prepared using disaggregation techniques based on inputs from the decennial census, annual population estimates, and current UI data

Reading FC manager Bowen on Derby County, injury updates, transfer plans and playing youngsters
The boss' full verdict from Hogwood on Thursday lunchtime
Jonathan LowReading FC Reporter
Reading manager Mark Bowen (Image: Berkshire Live)
Get Royals transfer latest, team news, match updates and analysis delivered straight to your inbox
Reading manager Mark Bowen spoke to the press on Thursday lunchtime ahead of his side's game with Derby County on Saturday.
Here is a full transcript of what he had to say at Hogwood.
On facing Derby on Saturday
They are a team which is certainly a bit vulnerable at the moment. We know they have quality but they are going through a period where they are a bit brittle.
I wouldn't say we are in a rich vein of form either though.
They're coming to our place so it's all about starting fast, being in the right frame of mind and taking our game to them.
Being surprised at the league table
It's the nature of it. Everybody knows how close games can be and you can go on a bad run of form.
People will say it's the results but it could be down to some bad luck or wrong decisions. The margins are so small.
We came out of Barnsley disappointed but then they scored five against QPR on Saturday so that's this league.
You try to narrow down the percentages throughout the week to increase your changes of doing well on a weekend.
Past three matches
I am disappointed because I see the work of the lads on the training ground. Maybe it's a fault I have got - I am a man whose glass is half full - so I would say at the start we have to be pushing for the play-offs. Why would any supporter want to hear anything different?
I look at the squad and think we can and should be trying to. But we'll have periods of loss of form, injuries and things going against you.
But at the end of a difficult week last week we picked up points from two away games and if we keep doing that throughout the season we won't be too bad by the end of it.
Five games in 15 days
We're going to be stretched, as will every team. We have to make sure squad players and those on the fringes have enough game time so if they are needed for a match they are ready.
It looks like Swift will be available. He's pain free and has had a significant amount of training sessions but we have to have one eye on exactly how fit he is.
He'll want to play but with so many games coming up we have to factor in the risk-factor as well.
I full expect him to be available and he will probably play some part on Saturday.
Lack of fight, passion and poor results - Reading FC fans' theories on low crowds this season
'You can't be naive and not look down' - Moore admits Reading FC are wary of relegation threat
Puscas - he will see a specialist tomorrow again. He should be able to get away with having injections and strapping it up.
Miazga - he thought he pulled his hamstring but he had a scan and it came back neutral. He hasn't trained with us so we'll see if he's feeling better tomorrow.
Low attendances
Everyone wants to see full stadiums but the fans that do come in are really passionate and get behind the team.
I said when I took over the idea is to get more bums on seats. I'm aware of questions asked last week at Stoke and not having a shot on target.
We'll try and rectify that and be more dynamic but it works both ways.
We've scored 14/15 goals in 10 games and when I came in we had scored 11 in 11. I wouldn't say we are a side which has struggled to score but it was the nature of the beast last Saturday.
Stoke had had 12 shots on average before and then they had none so we were solid defensively.
I'm aware fans want to come and see their side attacking and creating chances which we haven't been bad at in the past 10 games. We'll look to rectify it this week.
Being a nasty side
It's an important part and I have been banging the drum about it this week.
We took our eye off that side of things. There are two sides to the game. Our intensity off the ball at Barnsley wasn't there and against Birmingham too.
We were a bit better at Stoke but we have to get back to that siege mentality. We are at home and I said to the guys - for me, and every game should be - each game is a cup final for us.
If you draw games you stay where you are in the table but if you win games you climb it so we have to get back to doing that.
Chances of Olise and Barrett being involved
I can only judge them on where they are with things. At times I see more from them in terms of their workrate out of possession.
When you put the ball at their feet they are special young players but what determines whether they get in the team is about trust.
I spoke to the youngsters when Jose was here, what gets them in the team and keeps them there is trust.
Michael Olise
We have to trust what we're getting from them when we do and don't have the ball. All young players are the same and I judge them on that.
Their form will go up and down and I accept that but as a team player they have to stand up as a team player and I need to get more consistency into them so they reach a certain percentage.
January transfer plans
We've been talking about what areas we can strengthen going forward. We are looking at where we can improve, who possibly might go out, where we are vulnerable if a bid comes in, so we have to be on top of things which I think we are.
We'll have interest in our players
Injuries affecting plans
Looking at the RB situation with Yiadom being out until the end of January, we have Gunter who is doing a solid job and Howe is waiting for his chance.
It'll depend on their form and how Yiadom is with his situation.

Gunter on why he turned down exits
Barrow goes awol again
Championship free agents
Bowen outlines summer plans
Loader latest
An offer has been put in front of him (by Reading). Him, his family and his advisors are considering it.
Players whose loans expire at the end of the year
Aluko is back in the country - he's allowed to train with us but not play. We'll go into January and see where we are with him.
The others we'll see how their situations pan out.

Recapping the "White Hot" IPOs in 2014: Are We Reaching a Bubble?
By Kyle Anderson, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @KyleAndersonMM - July 2, 2014
With 147 companies already going public this year, the U.S. market is on pace to see more IPOs in 2014 than any year since the dot-com boom of 2000 when 406 companies went public.
In fact, 2014 has seen more IPOs in six months than 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2012 saw all year.
It's been so crazy some analysts are worried we're getting into bubble territory...
The Five Biggest IPOs of 2014
By Kyle Anderson, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @KyleAndersonMM - June 25, 2014
This year has been the busiest for initial public offerings since the dot-com era of 1999 - 2001. And the biggest IPOs of 2014 have raised some serious cash.
So far, 135 IPOs have been held and they've raised a total of $29 billion.
But that $29 billion hasn't exactly been spread out evenly. In fact, 28% of this year's total IPO money has been raised by the top five companies.
Here's a look at the biggest deals on this year's IPO calendar, and how they've fared since they've hit the market….

Stuck in an airport for almost two weeks, Iranian beauty queen says she will be killed if she is deported
By Helen Regan and Joshua Berlinger, CNN
Updated 10:36 PM ET, Mon October 28, 2019
Bahareh Zare Bahari has requested asylum in the Philippines.
(CNN) An Iranian beauty queen who has spent almost two weeks inside Manila's international airport says she will be killed if she is sent back home and is seeking asylum in the Philippines.
Bahareh Zare Bahari, a contestant in the recent Miss Intercontinental pageant in Manila, claims Tehran is attempting to silence her because of her public stand against the government.
In a press release last week, the Philippines Immigration Department said the international police agency Interpol issued a worldwide request to arrest Bahari, known as a red notice. The statement did not specify which country requested the red notice, but Bahari told CNN that an immigration official told her Iran requested one in 2018.
"I have been living here since 2014 and I've not gone back to Iran. I explained to them many times, how can I have a criminal case in Iran when I've been living here?" she told CNN by phone.
Bahari said she has been confined to a passenger room in Terminal 3 of Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport since she arrived from Dubai 12 days ago. "I'm really mentally sick," she said, adding that the uncertainty over her case is wearing her down.

Q: NextGEN Gallery - Permalink Issue - urlencode Hebrew In file products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_imagebrowser/package.module.nextgen_basic_imagebrowser.php, on line 74 you have a check to find the current image.
The relevant code is:
if ($picture->image_slug == $pid)
The thing is that $pid is a clean string, and $picture->image_slug is URL-encoded.
For example, $pid is מיראז-1 while $picture->image_slug is %d7%9e%d7%99%d7%a8%d7%90%d7%96-1.
If you upload an image with a filename in Hebrew/Arabic - the result is that you always only see the first image in the imagebrowser.
The plugin can't show any other image, besides the first. Both with or without AJAX.
I went through all of the filters and actions possible with the plugin,
but it only affects the logic after this part that I was referring to.
Any thoughts on this?

Kerio MailServer 6.1 Offers Alternative to Microsoft
by Dan Muse
The new e-mail server touts improved spam-fighting, double the virus protection and support for Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems.
Looking for an alternative to using Microsoft Outlook and Exchange for e-mail and collaboration? Kerio, a Santa Clara, Calif.-based software provider, today announced MailServer 6.1. Designed to work with all POP3 and IMAP desktop mail clients for Windows, Linux and Mac, the new version supports Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and adds Spam Repellent and dual anti-virus scanning to its malware-fighting repertoire.
SPF is a form of e-mail domain authentication that's designed to stop spammers from forging the "From" fields in an e-mail. Support for SPF complements the company's existing support for Caller ID, a rival authentication technology developed by Microsoft. The new release also includes SpamAssassin 3.0.2.
The new Spam Repellent feature is designed to fight both spam and viruses by inserting a delay in the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) handshake, which causes a virus or spam-sending zombie to give up attempting to connect to the mail server.
Kerio claims that Spam Repellent cuts 60-to-70 percent of spam and viruses before they reach the server. It also eliminates false positives, Kerio Vice President of Marketing Dusan Vitek said, because the technique doesn't affect legitimate e-mail traffic.
To double your virus protection, Kerio 6.1 offers dual anti-virus scanning capbility so that mail administrators can simultaneously use both the built-in McAfee anti-virus software and a third-party anti-virus product through plug-ins for Symantec, Sophos, Grisoft AVG, Eset NOD 32, Computer Associates and VisNetic Antivirus.
For Mac users, Kerio MailServer 6.1 supports the latest version of Mac OS X (aka, Tiger), adding synchronization with Apple's Address Book and iCal applications and improved integration with Microsoft's Entourage groupware client. Vitek said that 16 percent of Kerio MailServer sales are for the Mac version.
Vitek said that the new Webmail client, which is designed to resemble Microsoft Outlook, now includes an HTML editor in the mail composer and supports Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox and Safari 2.0. The company also offers a simplified version of the e-mail client for Palm and PDA devices. "We like choices," Vitek said.
For e-mail administrators, Kerio MailServer 6.1 offer Web-based administration console for all platforms for remote management. "For example, you can manage Linux servers from Windows notebooks."
Prices for Kerio Mail Server 6.1 start at $499 for 20 users, which doesn't include the McAfee anti-virus (with McAfee, the price is $899 for 20 users).

Profile: Aaron Esser
By Kevin Gaffney
"I have the second-best job in the world," said Aaron Esser, Washington State University (WSU) Cooperative Extension agent and the Adams County Extension director. "Farming is the best job of all, but I have the opportunity to be heavily involved in the ag industry, conducting research that improves how growers are operating their farms."
Washington State University Extension Agent Aaron Esser is shown with a John Deere drill donated to the Wilke Research Farm by a local farmer. Esser and his crew will perform repairs and upgrades and put it to work.
Born in North Idaho Palouse country, Esser was raised on a family farm that grew wheat, peas, lentils and barley. Their farm near Genesee utilized both three- and four-year rotation patterns. Some of their farmland actually was on the Washington-Idaho border near Uniontown. With a farming career not in the cards, Esser opted to earn a degree in ag economics at the University of Idaho (UofI).
"That provided me with reasonable in-state tuition at a university with a very good college of agriculture," said Esser.
Esser kept very busy during those years, often leaving campus in the afternoon to go work for farmers until 8 or 9 p.m. By 1995, Esser had completed his bachelor's degree in ag economics and agribusiness with a minor in crop science. Before graduation, he had accepted a position with a large corporate ag company. He soon became disillusioned with their emphasis on company profits over customer service and decided private industry wasn't the career track for him, returning to UofI to earn a master's degree. Esser finished his master's in plant science in 1998 and soon after that, joined the team at WSU Extension.
When he began with WSU, his research focus was working directly with Adams County farmers on best management practices for reducing dust emissions caused by wind erosion. This work continued for nearly 10 years.
"Area farmers have made great strides in reducing wind erosion, and I applaud them for the progress they have made," noted Esser. "Rarely do you see severe dust storms from farmland soil causing problems anymore."
Following that, Esser spent the next eight years concentrating on wireworm research in cereal grains products. That problem has now been greatly mitigated with more grower awareness and better preventive tools to fight the wireworms.
Now in his 24th year with WSU Extension, Esser is centering most of his research work on helping growers adopt minimum tillage and direct seeding systems. Along with that, he is encouraging more intensive crop rotations to improve soil quality, productivity and farm profitability. He makes many public presentations for growers showing the potential value of adopting new farming methods and using precision agricultural equipment. He is sometimes discouraged with the reluctance of some growers, but understands that it is not an easy or quick transition to make.
"I have had growers bring their ag lenders to my seminars, or other farm family members who were resistant to spending the funds to modernize and update their operations," he explained. "Several times, they have changed their minds when they learn that the new equipment and practices can pay off in a year or two and continue to save them money and bring higher yields in future crop years."
Esser stresses that every region has its own unique advantages and challenges.
"The Palouse country certainly has its benefits, but they also have to deal with steep slopes, higher input costs and other issues. Douglas County farmers may have to farm around some rock piles in their fields, but they don't have to deal with sky-high input costs or as many weed problems as some other areas."
Occasionally, Esser will be visiting with people outside the ag industry who complain that most farmers are millionaires. Esser agrees that on paper, many farmers are millionaires, but that doesn't mean they are cash rich. So much of their wealth is tied into the land and the equipment, even large farmers can't afford to spend inappropriately.
"Most of these farms have grown over four or more generations," said Esser. "Great-grandfather started it with almost nothing and scraped by, built the farm up, grandfather built upon that, and so on. These farm families have worked hard for many decades to build these farm businesses. And all this while having no control over the prices they receive for their crops, or what weather conditions Mother Nature hands them each year.
"If it was so easy and profitable, why is less than 2% of the U.S. population involved in production agriculture?" he asked. "I would say it is because it demands long, hard hours of labor, and it is a very complex, sophisticated business."
Esser splits his time between his Ritzville office and the Wilke Research Farm in Davenport, Wash. The Wilke farm was donated to WSU by Buelah Wilke in the 1980s. It is approximately a half-section of farmland with more than 300 acres of viable cropland. Along with all of the research projects Esser conducts, several WSU crop breeders and weed scientists also have plots there, including Mike Pumphrey, Arron Carter, Isaac Madsen and Ian Burke.
The Wilke farm must provide its own funding through research grants, donations of equipment, and crop sale profits. To date, Esser has generated more than $1 million in grants and awards for his research work. Recent equipment donations for the Wilke farm were a seed drill that will need some refurbishing and a John Deere combine that was used for harvest this year.
When asked about the biggest challenges facing Pacific Northwest (PNW) farmers over the next decade, Esser had one answer — weeds.
"Downy brome (cheat grass) and Italian ryegrass will both provide serious problems in dryland wheat country," he believes. "Italian ryegrass also can easily hybridize with other ryegrass varieties, making identification and control more difficult."
Esser also mentioned that several weeds have begun to show herbicide resistance, which could severely affect weed control in the future. Russian thistle, wild oats, Italian ryegrass and cheat grass have all shown herbicide resistance in various regions of the PNW. He has research projects studying the resistance of cheat grass and other weeds on the Wilke farm. He is excited about using soil-active herbicides for control of cheat grass and other weeds. A soil-active herbicide is applied to the topsoil and is absorbed into the weeds either by the roots or by the shoots of the plants using the existing moisture in the soil. Esser believes their use may help in weed control and lessen the use of some of the long-standing products that weeds are developing resistance to.
Esser and his wife, Jodie, have four children: Brooke, Bryce, Blake and Brenik. The youngest, Blake and Brenik, are both in high school. In his spare time, Esser enjoys attending his kids' sports activities and elk hunting. Esser can be reached at his office in Ritzville at (509) 725-4171 or at aarons@wsu.edu.

The mechanic's lien statute attempts to create a reasonable compromise between two competing principles. On the one hand, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers who provide labor and material to a property owner should be compensated for the assistance they provide. On the other hand, a property owner who has already paid a contractor for labor and material, should not have to pay twice for the same goods and services.


Summary data is not a problem: you know how many clicks and opens each of your email campaigns gets, which is enough to tell bad campaigns from good campaigns. And 56% of businesses rely exclusively on Google's web analytics (David Moth, Econsultancy, July 2013) which is pretty good at providing an overview.
But the individual data that you need to target and personalize emails is a whole different story. Google analytics is no help here, your ecommerce system is very unlikely to provide enough browse data, and the open and click data from your ESP is unreliable for detailed decisions. Open reports can be blocked by email clients (so you don't even know which subscribers are reading your emails) and readers are unlikely to click more than one link, even if they go on to browse a whole bunch of products. A good rule-of-thumb is that you need at least 10 relevant data points before you can think of making reliable decisions, such as personalizing email content, and you probably have that much data on very few subscribers.
You know that you should be personalizing emails, and unsubscribing inactive subscribers to improve your deliverability, but you don't have the data. So why not use a paid analytics products? Why do so many email marketers stick stick with Google analytics, althought this only provides summary data, making it useless for targeting and personalising emails? We think it's because the ROI isn't there - the available analytic systems are expensive and were not designed for email marketing. You want something simple to use, cheap to buy and configure, that doesn't require IT support, and that provides real-time ecommerce-based data straight into your ESP. It's as though you want a smartphone, but what you're offered is a flat-pack kit with no manual, just hundreds of components to assemble.
Coming from an email marketing background, we're keenly aware of this problem and Fresh Relevance has given us the opportunity to address it. We took analytics, made them real time, reduced the cost, removed the complexity, put them right in your ESP and that's "Triggered Analytics".
Fresh Relevance provides email-orientated analytics at a very good price (more details).
You choose the analytics that you want, such as "90 day top customer", "7 day new visitor", or "90 day lapsed buyer"
Fresh Relevance loads the data automatically, in real-time.
A good way to start with Triggered Analytics is to treat the following groups of users differently, which should significantly improve the effectiveness of your email marketing.
Disengaged subscribers. These are people who rarely if ever read your marketing emails, and by continuing to mail them you are harming your deliverability, making it more likely that your emails are treated as spam (Why are my emails going into recipients' spam folders?, Mandrill Support). If you have been doing email marketing for a while, these people are probably the bulk of your list.
Top customers. These are your most engaged subscribers, who regularly buy from you.
Everyone else - the regular customers in the middle.
Active visitors. Subscribers who visited your site today.
Your standard marketing is obviously not working for these people, so you should switch over to "win back" campaigns of re-engagement emails, with varied and more impactful titles, sent at a reduced rate to protect your deliverability. If they still don't react after a while, then unsubscribe them. Note that you can't introduce this until Fresh Relevance has had time to collect enough historic data.
You can recognize them using the "90 day sessions count" analytic. You send your re-engagement campaigns to subscribers with a value that's zero or very small. And normal marketing campaigns to subscribers where the value is bigger.
You can recognize people who need to be unsubscribed by checking whether the "180 day sessions count" analytic is zero.
Your standard marketing is working fine, but you are leaving money on the table by under-marketing. Where people are highly engaged with your brand, they are much happier to be contacted than is the case with less engaged subscribers, so if you have something to say then email them more often.
You should also get advice from a consultant on varying the content of emails: such as "platinum card" branding, unique limited-time offers to reward their buying, or requests to comment online about recent purchases because they are presumably more likely to have positive opinions of your brand.
You can recognize them using e.g. "30 days top customer". You send your top-customer campaigns or content to subscribers with a value of true. And normal marketing campaigns to subscribers where the value is false.
These people just arrived at your site and need help to become regular customers. Send them a series of welcome emails, explaining why your company is excellent. If they visited but didn't buy, include an introductory offer coupon in your next email to them.
You can recognize them using e.g. "7 days new visitor" combined with "14 days new buyer".
These people visited your site recently, so right now they are engaged. You should temporarily increase their marketing frequency and also add the details of the products that they've been looking at to emails.
If these recent visitors are not in any special group (see above) you could send them a mid-day email to boost contact frequency, or you could just use browse abandonment to increase the number of contacts.


Mrs Zainab Ahmed the newly appointed Acting Minister of Finance has assumed duty after President Muhammadu Buhari picked her to oversee the ministry following the resignation of Mrs Kemi Adeosun on, Sept. 14.
The minister who is still studying her new office and reading the handover note was until her appointment, the Minister of State, Budget and National Planning.
It would be recalled that Buhari appointed Ahmed on Friday to oversee the ministry of finance after the resignation of Kemi Adeosun who resigned following the outcome of an investigation into allegation made in an online medium of her Certificate of Exemption from National Youth Service Corp (NYSC).
The certificate was later discovered not to be genuine.

A Hack Used to Plunge Ukraine Into Darkness Could Still Do Way More Damage
Eight years after Stuxnet, hackers are testing another piece of malware designed to take down critical infrastructure.
Late last year, a cyberattack on Ukraine's power grid plunged 20 percent of the nation's capital, Kiev, into darkness. Now security researchers have published details of the malware that they believe may have been used to make that happen.
While the cybersecurity firm ESET won't say that the piece of malware it calls Industroyer is definitely the software that was used to take down Ukraine's power, it sure looks like the number one suspect: it's designed to infiltrate a system and then control electricity substation switches and circuit breakers.
It's unclear how Industroyer finds its way on to infrastructure computers, but once there it scans the network to find hardware that it can take down. It also reports to its master rather cleverly, sending information to control servers that are hidden using the identify obfuscator known as Tor, and then only communicating outside of regular working hours.
Because the commands it leverages were developed decades ago, they were designed to work on computers that sat in isolation. They were never intended for use in a networked world where hackers could inject malware from a distance, so gaining access to the system makes an awful lot possible—and Wired describes in some detail how some of the potential attacks could work.
Perhaps the most worrying part of the research is the potential capability of the malware in the future. The commands it uses to switch off substations are actually used inside all kinds of infrastructure—not just electricity supply networks but traffic control systems, waterworks, and more—and ESET warns that the code could be repurposed to perform attacks on those kinds of systems, too.
That's why, in an article describing the malware, ESET's senior malware researcher, Anton Cherepanov, calls Industroyer the "biggest threat to industrial control systems since Stuxnet." That piece of malware, you may recall, was famously used to sabotage an Iranian nuclear power plant back in 2009.
The bad news is that these kinds of problems look set to become more widespread. As aging energy systems are connected up to the Internet in a bid to modernize, they are becomingly newly vulnerable in much the same way as Kiev's grid. The good news, though, as we recently reported, is that many companies are building new technologies to help overcome these problems. Hopefully, they'll do that rather quickly.

Meet Abrar Ahmed, Pakistan's debutant mystery leg-spinner who stunned England
Abrar Ahmed becomes 13th Pakistani to take five or more wickets on Test debut
By Sports Desk
Abrar Ahmed took a five-for before lunch on debut, Pakistan vs England, 2nd Test, Multan, 1st day, December 9, 2022. —PCB
MULTAN: Debutant mystery leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed stunned England on Friday, grabbing seven wickets as the visitors were bowled all out at 180 shortly after lunch on the opening day of the second Test in Multan.
Abrar became the 13th Pakistani bowler to claim five or more wickets on his first Test appearance.
The 24-year-old — nicknamed "Harry Potter" by friends because he wears glasses similar to those of the fictional boy wizard — dismissed Zak Crawley (19), Ben Duckett (63) and Joe Root (eight) in the first two hours, before sending Ollie Pope (60) and Harry Brook (nine) on their way.
The first session ended with England scoring 180-5, with Ben Stokes and Will Jacks with 14 and zero respectively. Wickets-wise, the session was in complete contrast to the first Test when England smashed 174-0 by lunch on an opening day.
Abrar became the 13th Pakistan bowler to claim a fifer on their Test debut, before him Muhammad Zahid Nazir Jr, Bilal Asif, Arif Butt, Tanvir Ahmed, Shahid Afridi, Shahid Nazir, Wahab Riaz, Yasir Arafat, Shabbir Ahmed, Muhammad Sami, Noman Ali have held this record.
Who is mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed?
Abrar was born in Karachi but his family hails from a small village called Shinkiari in Mansehra district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The 24-year-old developed interest in the game while playing tape-ball cricket in Karachi's Lines Area.
Abrar suffered a major career setback just when he was starting to make a name for himself in the domestic cricket.
After the PSL in 2017, where he was Karachi Kings' emerging pick, Abrar suffered a stage-five stress fracture and was out of action for two years.
"He [Abrar] could have been paralyzed. It was serious. I remember the doctor telling our elder brother and me that he might never be able to play cricket again," his brother Sajid recalled in an interview with The Indian Express.
First-class debut
Abrar made his first-class debut in 2020 while playing for Sindh, against Southern Punjab, in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
He currently has 76 wickets in 26 first-class innings at an average of 25.56 with best match figures of 11-63.
Didn't know Abdul Qadir
Interestingly, Abrar had never heard about legendary Pakistan leg-spinner Abdul Qadir during his early cricket days.
"Who is he, never heard his name," Abrar replied when asked about Qadir by Mushtaq Ahmed, the then head coach of Pakistan's National Cricket Academy in Lahore, five years ago.
West Indies spinner Sunil Narine is Abrar's role model in cricket, according to his coach Mohammad Masroor.
Maiden call-up
Abrar had received maiden call-up in the Test squad ahead of this series following an impressive run in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2022-23. The 24-year-old right-arm spinner won the best bowler of the tournament award and topped the leading wicket-taker chart with 43 scalps in seven matches at an average of 21.95.

Tracking a Killer
Police Use of DNA and Forensic Genetics
Jordan Reimschisel
Many of us love exciting investigative dramas like Bones and Hawaii Five-0. The twists and turns, momentary dead ends, and dramatic reveal of new clues keeps us on the edge of our seats. But we also know that real life is different. Most of the time.
Late last month, California investigators arrested Joseph James DeAngelo, who they suspect was the notorious killer and rapist known by several monikers including the Golden State Killer and the East Area Rapist. The details that emerged of the decades-long investigation sounded more like a Hollywood script than real life. In a genius move, officers used a DNA sample from one of the original crime scenes and a free database meant for genealogy enthusiasts to come up with a list of suspects, leading to the arrest of DeAngelo at his home near Sacramento.
Even though bringing someone who had committed many horrible atrocities against innocent citizens would be a major benefit to society, numerous articles worrying about the privacy implications of the investigation appeared in its aftermath. For example, some questioned whether police ought to be allowed to use a third party's personal information without their consent (or even knowledge) without a warrant or other oversight, even if such information is freely available.
Again, bringing criminals to justice is a good thing and we should thank all law enforcement involved in this arrest. But as science unlocks more personal secrets encoded in our DNA, we ought to reevaluate how we allow government to use this extremely personal information.
The story of DeAngelo's arrest begins in the 1970s. Between 1974 and 1986, the Golden State Killer terrorized ten California counties, committing multiple rapes, murders, and burglaries. The stories victims tell of these crimes emphasize just how sadistic and vile this serial criminal is. But in 1986, the crime spree stops.
Almost ten years later, an investigator and forensic scientist named Paul Holes discovers the Golden State Killer case file and becomes obsessed.
A colleague tells Holes about a case he was working on in which a kidnapping victim was identified by using a sample of her DNA and a genealogy website. Holes thinks he might be able to do the same thing in the Golden State Killer case.
After some research, Holes finds a genealogy service called GEDmatch, a free, open website where enthusiasts can upload raw genetic data in order to identify potential relatives. Holes obtains a sample of the Golden State Killer's DNA from a duplicate rape kit placed in a freezer by a pathologist working on one of the murders in 1980. A lab sequences the sample and converts it to a format suitable to upload to the GEDmatch database.
The database provides several possible distant relatives of the killer, most about the equivalent of third cousins. Holes and his team then work backwards to construct a family tree that includes these matches. If he goes back far enough he can pinpoint an ancestor that all the matches, and the killer, shared in common. Once there, he can move forward in time to attach a name and a face to the killer.
Holes is eventually able to find that common ancestor. It was a set great-great-great grandparents who lived in the early 1800s. Then he uses publicly available information like census data and newspaper clippings to find members of the intervening generations. As he gets closer to the present, he turns to police databases and tools like LexisNexis. This eventually results in a huge maze of family trees that branch out from those great-great-great grandparents. He begins looking for individuals that match the Golden State Killer's age and gender, and has connections to the locations of the crimes. Eventually he lands on DeAngelo.
The police place DeAngelo under surveillance. To test if their genealogy work has been correct, officers pick up an item containing DeAngelo's DNA that he discards in public. This DNA is sequenced and compared to the DNA from the original 1980 crime scene. The two match. Just for good measure, investigators repeat this process with another discarded item. This evidence is enough for a judge to sign an arrest warrant, which investigators carry out on April 24.
Use of GEDmatch Database
It seems that there are a couple key aspects of the investigation that could lead privacy conscious observers to worry.
The first is the use of the GEDmatch database by Holes and his team.
GEDmatch is a free database open to both amatur and professional genealogy enthusiasts that provides DNA and genealogical analysis tools. Users upload their raw, autosomal DNA (autosomes are the numbered chromosomes as opposed to the X and Y chromosomes) that has already been tested by a company like 23andMe or Ancestry. Since the database can read data from multiple testing companies, users can locate possible relatives from a much broader group of people.
Once the user uploads their data to the database, GEDmatch searches for sections of the user's chromosomes that match other users in the GEDmatch universe. The more matching sections, the more likely the two users are related. The service will then provide the user with a spreadsheet that includes the usernames of matches, an estimation of how closely the two are related, how much DNA is common to both profiles, and any contact information that the match has included. The purpose of the service is to spur collaboration between two relatives who want to explore their family's history and create a family tree.
GEDmatch's site includes a fairly lengthy terms of service and privacy policy page, which was recently updated, perhaps in response to the Golden State Killer case. The page clearly explains that the purpose of the site is collaboration and genealogy research. Thus, sharing is a must. Individuals who desire privacy are encouraged not to use the site.
The policy also specifies that users uploading raw DNA data agree that the raw data is one of a number of options. One of those options is as follows:
DNA obtained and authorized by law enforcement to either: (1) identify a perpetrator of a violent crime against another individual; or (2) identify remains of a deceased individual
It appears that this option was added after DeAngelo's arrest, though a lawyer affiliated with the site stated that the actions of the police still did not technically violate the site's policies. Either way, the addition of this option explicitly legitimizes future investigative uses.
And the police have noticed. Investigators in Washington State used GEDmatch to arrest a suspect in a double murder from 1987.
As indicated above, the privacy section (which was included prior to the Golden State Killer episode) explicitly warns users of the open nature of the database:
In today's world, there are real dangers of identity theft, credit fraud, etc. We try to strike a balance between these conflicting realities and the need to share information with other users. In the end, if you require absolute privacy and security, you agree that you will not provide your personal information, Raw Data, or Genealogy Data to GEDmatch. If you do not agree and you have already provided your personal information, Raw Data, or Genealogy Data, you agree to delete it immediately.
In light of these policies, Holes and his colleagues did not need a warrant to upload the DNA data from the 1980 crime scene to the GEDmatch database, since that DNA was already legally in police custody.
While it seems no part of the use of the database was illegal, it is concerning for several reasons.
Police could link DeAngelo to the crime even though he did not personally upload his data to GEDmatch. Instead, his distant relatives uploaded their own data, something DeAngelo could never expect to control. Using modern technology and DNA from a family member (even a distant one), police can have access to personal information which they never received permission to have and use. And considering that a random American of European background has a 90% chance of finding a third cousin in GEDmatch, and a 94% chance of finding a second cousin in the Ancestory.com database, the police could use these methods to discover personal information of many Americans, whether they committed a crime or not.
Furthermore, the genealogy approach used by investigators in this case is not perfect. In 2015, a filmmaker named Michael Usry opened his front door to find three police officers asking him to accompany them down to the station. He learned that he was a suspect in an almost twenty year-old murder of a young girl. Police had focused on Usry after they used a publicly available version of Ancestry's database and discovered that the DNA of Usry's father (who was in the Ancestry database) bore similarities to the DNA found at the crime scene.
After taking a sample of Usry's DNA and comparing it to the sample found at the crime scene, he was cleared of all suspicion since the samples did not match. But Usry had to wait for thirty three tense days before the sample could be processed.
These false-positives are not uncommon, as Erin Murphy, a New York University law professor notes in a Wired article about the Usry incident. This can create life-ruining consequences for innocent citizens, especially in a digital age where news travels quickly and social media outcries can pressure organizations to take hasty actions. That same Wired article invites readers to imagine if Usry was a school teacher under suspicion of murdering a young girl. If this was leaked to the media during that thirty three day waiting period, Usry would likely face irreparable damage to his career and reputation, even though he was completely innocent.
Law enforcement has already dramatically increased its efforts to use this genealogy method to track down more criminals. Working with several law enforcement agencies, a Virginia company called Parabon NanoLabs acknowledged that have uploaded DNA data from about one hundred crime scenes into GEDmatch. In about twenty of these cases so far, the company says the database has found relatives that are third cousins or closer.
It is extremely important that proper oversight of these efforts is in place to protect the innocent that will inevitably be implicated in these cases. As is, the police do not need any warrants to use the GEDmatch site. States and localities could require that police consult a judge or expert council of some kind at each stage of the investigation, especially as specific citizens are identified and come under suspicion.
Obtaining of DeAngelo's DNA
The second key aspect of the investigation that could raise concerns is the obtaining of DeAngelo's DNA by Holes and his team.
After the genealogy work led Holes to DeAngelo, he needed evidence that he was on the right track. The police placed DeAngelo under surveillance and picked up a couple items that contained his DNA that he discarded in public. They compared this discarded DNA to the DNA sample found at the scene of the original 1980 crime. The samples matched, giving Holes enough evidence to get a judge to sign an arrest warrant for DeAngelo.
The Fourth Amendment provides broad parameters for law enforcement's gathering of evidence. The Amendment reads,
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
The goal of this Amendment is to protect privacy and property rights against unreasonable actions of government. To determine whether a search or seizure is reasonable or unreasonable, a court must decide if the citizen had a reasonable expectation of privacy. For example, courts have afforded great protections against warrantless searches of private homes because Western society has placed an emphasis on the privacy and sanctity of the home.
Police may seize property that is in plain view, in an open field, or has been abandoned. They do not need a warrant to take property in these circumstances because courts have found that the owner does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
The Amendment treats persons differently than it does property. Police cannot seize someone just because she is walking through an open field. In most situations, an arrest warrant is needed to detain or transport someone against her will. Seizing someone is only justified when the officer has probable cause and believes there are exigent circumstances that necessitate immediate action. Exigent circumstances could include harm to others or the destruction of relevant evidence. Unless these conditions are met, officers may not detain someone against their will without getting a warrant.
As law professor Albert Scherr explains in the Georgia Law Review , current DNA gathering jurisprudence creates an "all-or-nothing dynamic." DNA abandoned in public places falls on the "all" side of the equation. Police are free to take and use DNA that has been discarded with no controls imposed by the Fourth Amendment, whether a person is a suspect or not. Considering the vast amount of deeply personal information that is contained in DNA, this is concerning.
Scherr reasonably proposes that courts recognize that DNA belongs to a middle category. Police may still pick up and use discarded property that bears cells with DNA, just as before. But in order to mine the information contained in the DNA, police must get a warrant supported by probable cause.
The Constitution represents a contract between the citizens of the United States and the government of the United States. In this contract, the citizens agree to cede certain natural rights to the government, in order that the public benefits named in the Preamble might be achieved more efficiently.
Perhaps the most consequential right that the citizenry has bestowed upon its government is the authority to coerce wrongdoers. This granting of coercive power absolutely must be accompanied by strict limitations on its use in order to protect the innocent. The authors of the Constitution placed some of these limitations explicitly in the first ten amendments, and the Fourth Amendment is especially important.
The recent arrest of DeAngelo thanks to forensic genetics, and the reports of rapid increases in these techniques, make it clear that courts must rethink their application of the Fourth Amendment. Legislatures at all levels ought to also consider how they might implement new protections that go beyond current jurisprudence.
A government, even one that is well-meaning, can irreparably damage the lives of innocent citizens when it has both unchecked coercive power and access to such intensely personal information as DNA. Strong, clear controls on how police collect and use DNA are needed now more than ever.
June 13, 2018 Update
On June 1, Judge Michael Sweet of the Superior Court of Sacramento County released redacted versions of both the arrest warrant and the search warrant in the Golden State Killer case.
The release came in response to a motion filed by a group of local media companies seeking to unseal two warrants pertaining to the case. DeAngelo's public defender sought to block the motion for fear that the information could poison potential jurors and deny DeAngelo's right to a fair trial. Judge Sweet tried to balance DeAngelo's rights and the public's right to open judicial proceedings by personally going through each page and redacting potentially problematic information before releasing the documents.
The warrants fill in several details about how investigators obtained DNA samples from DeAngelo to link him to the crimes committed by the Golden State Killer.
After investigators begin to suspect DeAngelo based on the results of the GEDmatch search and the construction of a family tree, they place DeAngelo under surveillance. On April 18, the investigators observe DeAngelo get into his car and drive to a Hobby Lobby in Roseville, CA, and park the car in the public lot. While DeAngelo is inside shopping, officers swab the driver's side door handle of the vehicle to collect DNA samples.
The results come back on April 20. DNA from three people is found on the door handle. The DNA of one of these people matches DNA found at several of the original crime scenes.
Immediately, officers begin to watch DeAngelo's home in Citrus Heights around the clock. They see that he is the only male at the home during that time. On the night of April 22, DeAngelo places his garbage can on the street in front of his house for pick up. The next morning investigators take several items from the garbage can in order to test them for DNA. One item, a used tissue, provides a readable sample. This sample also matches the crime scene DNA.
Investigators took this DNA information, as well as a multitude of other evidence, and incorporated it into requests for a warrant to search DeAngelo's person and property and a warrant to arrest DeAngelo. On April 24, the officers submitted these requests to the Superior Court. A judge then signed the warrants and they were executed immediately.
These unsealed documents reveal that the vast majority of this investigation was carried out without any warrant. Importantly, the DNA collection took place without a judge's approval. This is perfectly acceptable in current Fourth Amendment jurisprudence.
It remains to be seen if DeAngelo's lawyers will raise these issues in their arguments or if the judge will use this opportunity to reconsider the issue of surreptitious DNA sampling.
Whether they do or not, the facts of this case that are being revealed make it clear that the treatment of DNA under the Fourth Amendment does, in fact, need to be reconsidered.

The other thread about whether we trusted our car mechanics made me think about what the dealer told me on my last visit. I can't recall exactly but I think he said one of the motor mounts was cracked on my 2002 Volvo S60. He said it should be replaced at some point but it didn't need to be done immediately.
Can someone tell me about when I why I need to fix the motor mount? I don't want to defer too much maintenance and not be taking proper care of the car I want to last another 100,000 miles. Repairs aren't cheap but neither are new cars!
A broken motor mount will often lead to excess vibration and noise. If the motor shifts position, there could be problems with the linkage to the tranmission. I suppose in an extreme case, jamming on the brakes will slow the car but the motor could keep going into the radiator and beyond.
Unless you are planning to get rid of the car, look at it, and if you confirm that it is cracked, replace it. It can't heal itself.
I definitely don't want to be putting any extra wear and tear on anything related to the transmission. Penny wise and pound foolish.
Motor mounts also prevent engine torque from allowing the engine to lift off the mount and slightly rotating during hard acceleration [if it breaks on the correct side] It could stay just cracked for a long time and do it's job, but why did it crack to begin with? Old? fatigued? etc. I would get it fixed soon if possible.
They sent out a coupon ($25 off $150) so maybe I'll go ahead and get it done before the coupon expires.
Is 11 year-old car with 155,000 miles a good excuse for a cracked motor mount?
Ok. I'm making an appointment tomorrow!
I would have the mechanic or dealer show you the cracked mount and if it is indeed cracked, get it replaced pronto. If you have any doubts, take it to another shop and have it checked out and get a second opinion.
I have been told that on my 11 year old honda civic, 86000 miles. Took it to a second garage that I actually trust, and they laughed after inspecting it. All motor mounts looked and felt solid. Maybe the dealer used x-ray tomography or ultrasound and the independent garage only had a pair of eyeballs and a screwdriver to poke it?
Verifying the condition of the motor mounts is often a straightforward flashlight and hand mirror job. (Although you may need to drive two wheels up on a curb to get in position on the ground to see a mount at the rear of the engine.) Have a buddy grab the engine with both hands and try to shake it with enough force so you can see the mount move a little as you inspect it.
This is a picture of a motorcycle mount, but the "cracked" condition of the unit on the left is plainly evident.
How they work...The inner metal part connects to the engine with a bolt. More bolts connect the outer metal part to the vehicle frame. (Or vice versa.) Over a period of years and miles, the heat and the vibration of the engine causes the rubber doughnut of cushioning material in between the metal pieces to get stiff and crack.
Without the cushion intact, the movement of the inner and outer pieces is greater. This leads to the vibration, sound effects and collateral damage described by the other posters.
Consider getting all of the motor mounts changed at the same time. The brand new mount will be stronger and more resilient than the older one, which will amplify the stresses on the old one and hasten its failure.
BTW, any competent mechanic can change motor mounts. I personally wouldn't feel at all inclined to use a high-priced dealer or brand-specialist mechanic.
Back in the old days when we had carburetors under our car hoods, a broken motor mount (nearly always on the driver's side of the engine), the carb/throttle linkage would/could get stuck, causing the gas pedal to get stuck, with the pedal not coming back up even when you took your foot off of it. Not a good thing. I speak from experience.
When I was a teenager, I had a '67 Ford Custom 500. That was my first car. It had no AC, no power steering or brakes, no automatic transmission (had 3 on the tree), no radio....had basically just an engine, seats & a steering wheel...lol. Being a typical teenage boy, I drove the crap outta it. I was constantly revving the engine (289 v-8) & dumping the clutch, so I could burn the tires off at a premature rate. Of course I didn't care about that, because....I was a dumb teenage boy.
All that clutch abuse caused my driver's side motor mount to break. The reason being that the engine naturally torques from one side to the other when it's revved....lifting up on one side, trying to rotate to the other side. Anyhow...it broke the motor mount.
Being the inventive, yet poor teenager I was, I had previously purchased & installed a classy chrome barefoot-shaped gas pedal for my cool car. It looked like a foot, including toes.
Still available, Marty, for only $14.95 at the Moon Eyes web site.
Wow, man! The sixties will never end!
Oh. Back to motor mounts. I'd get it fixed. It's not a major bill and the repercussions from not fixing it can and probably will make you buy a new car sooner rather than later.
I always have someone sit in the car and put in gear and then put it back in neutral with the brake being held. if the motor shifts then you have a weak or broken mount. like walt34 said if its bad get it fixed. sooner rather than later it will cause other problems.

Q: NDde Server and Context for multiple Topics and Items. Do I need multiple instances? I've checked out this question: Codeplex NDde Server how to send multiple items, and this Alternative Of client.Advise += OnAdvise; in vb.net NDDE, and a bunch of other sources, when dealing with this problem; however it seems that either I don't understand some basics, or it's something not explicitly supported in the way I have been trying to do it.
I'm struggling to write a class library that would send some values, about half-a-dozen, to an application that preferrably consumes DDE imputs, several at a time.
What is a source for perplexion for me is, whether I need to just do something like this, to be able to send my items by hot link
        public AutoServer(string service, string ItemDataLabel)
            : base(service)
        {
            // Create a timer that will be used to advise clients of new data.
            _Timer.Elapsed += this.OnTimerElapsed;
            _Timer.Interval = 30;
            _Timer.SynchronizingObject = this.Context;

            DataLabel = ItemDataLabel;
            //OnAdvise(Symbol, DataLabel, 1);
        }

        private void OnTimerElapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs args)
        {
            // Advise all topic name and item name pairs.

            OnAdvise(Current, DataLabel, 1);

            Advise(Current, DataLabel);
        }

        public string Data;
        public string DataLabel;

}
and put there in this fashion several OnAdvises with different string labels, writing out what On Advise should do in case with every label combination, inside OnAdvice itself?
The other option seems to register several Server instances, with writing out in OnAdvice all the details for each case of parameter combinations.
But here comes the most difficult. I tried both approaches, and I'm getting exception that says: Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created. In other words it comes out that I need a Context for each Server, respectively for each item (all that thing with multiple OnAdvices together doesn't seem to work).
Then would it be right to put form and context initialization in a single method with respective server registration, and so many likewise methods as the items are, and run them together at once?
For example:
namespace lookout_DDE
{
    public partial class lookout_DDE_class : AutoGroup
    {

        public partial class ServerContextForm : Form
        {
            private DdeContext context = null;

            private void ContextRunner()
            {
                context = new DdeContext(this);
                context.Initialize();
            }
        }
    }
}

and
namespace lookout_DDE
{
    public partial class lookout_DDE_class : AutoGroup
    {
        public partial class ServerContextForm : Form
        {
            public ServerContextForm()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
                ContextRunner();
            }
        }
    }
}

and
        [STAThread]
        partial void RunServer()
        {

            using (ServerContextForm ContextForm = new ServerContextForm())
            {
                Application.Run(ContextForm);
                ServerStarter("A1");
            }
            using (ServerContextForm ContextForm = new ServerContextForm())
            {
                Application.Run(ContextForm);

                ServerStarter("A2");
            }
            using (ServerContextForm ContextForm = new ServerContextForm())
            {
                Application.Run(ContextForm);

                ServerStarter("A3");
            }
            using (ServerContextForm ContextForm = new ServerContextForm())
            {
                Application.Run(ContextForm);

                ServerStarter("A4");
            }
            using (ServerContextForm ContextForm = new ServerContextForm())
            {
                Application.Run(ContextForm);

                ServerStarter("A5");
            }
}

Just figured out I have to keep Forms for the contexts to run, so instead of \using\ separate methods would be needed.
So maybe the best way to restate the question would be, whether I need to use multiple forms with contexts, and server instances registered, in order to run multiple items, or somehow I should implement OnAdvice inside Server class?
See, I'm new to C# and programming in general, however, I'm trying to learn programming " in the process". If you can help, please advice. :)

A: Till now figured out partial solution:
1) There need to be several Server instances, because OnAdvice can be subscribed once by the client application. (And who knows how it does it if you didn't write it)
2) Each Server can require a separate (preferable) context, and respectively, a form, however there can be potentially a single context. Didn't test the last one.
Now, I recollected a bad/good joke about word "potentially". Guess what.
And what a pity of having no opinions at all!


Scientific papers are not mystery novels. It is important to present the key results in the abstract of the manuscript and to have the introduction of the paper make clear both the impetus for the study and what is be presented in the manuscript.
Authors need to give the greatest attention to the parts of paper most likely to be read. Most people do not read a scientific paper from beginning to end but rather first focus on the title, then the abstract, and next the figures and tables. If the information presented is of interest, then the conclusion will be perused. Only those studies that have particular pertinence to the reader will be read in their entirety.
Organization of the material is critical. Almost all scientific papers should follow the standard format: introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion.
Authors should check that the methods are complete and that most figures and tables are presented in the results section.
Each paragraph should start with a strong topic sentence, which presents the main idea and hence is an overview of what is to come. The concluding sentence should summarize the paragraph and provide a logical flow to the next one.

Google is not ours. Which feels confusing, because we are its unpaid content-providers, in one way or another. We generate product for Google, our every search a minuscule contribution. Google is made of us, a sort of coral reef of human minds and their products.
Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon* prison design is a perennial metaphor in discussions of digital surveillance and data mining, but it doesn't really suit an entity like Google. Bentham's all-seeing eye looks down from a central viewpoint, the gaze of a Victorian warder. In Google, we are at once the surveilled and the individual retinal cells of the surveillant, however many millions of us, constantly if unconsciously participatory. We are part of a post-geographical, post-national super-state, one that handily says no to China. Or yes, depending on profit considerations and strategy.
The title of this post comes from his oft-cited quote in 2003 in The Economist.
*About the Panopticon from wikipedia: The Panopticon is a type of prison building designed by English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in 1785. The concept of the design is to allow an observer to observe (-opticon) all (pan-) prisoners without the incarcerated being able to tell whether they are being watched, thereby conveying what one architect has called the "sentiment of an invisible omniscience."
Anyone who travels California's byways sees the many faces of agriculture. A huge entwined business, farming and ranching are the state's dominant land use. Yet few Californians understand what animals and crops are raised or how agriculture reflects our relationship with nature. This fascinating and gorgeously illustrated field guide gathers essential information about agriculture and its environmental context, and answers the perennial question posed by California travelers: "What is that, and why is it growing here?" Paul F. Starrs's lively text explores the full range of the state's agriculture, deftly balancing agribusiness triumphalism with the pride of boutique producers, sketching meanwhile the darker shadows that can envelop California farming. Documented with diverse maps and Peter Goin's insightful photographs, this book captures the industry's energy and ingenuity and its wildly diverse iconography, from the mysteries of forbidden crops (like marijuana) to the majesties of scale in food production.


Candidate Volodymyr Zelenskiy continues to maintain his lead ahead of incumbent President Petro Poroshenko and opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, according to the latest polls by the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation, along with the Razumkov Center.
27.6% of respondents say they will vote for Zelenskiy, compared to 18.2% for Poroshenko and 12.8% for Tymoshenko.
Over 30 million Ukrainians are eligible to vote in the nation's presidential election on March 31, in which will be a serious test for President Poroshenko who is struggling with accusations of corruption.
Ukraine's central election commission registered a staggering 44 candidates – a new record for the fledgling democracy, however five candidates dropped out of the race since, reducing the number 39. One of the founders and leader of the Socialist Party of Ukraine Oleksandr Moroz said on March 27 that he also wants to withdraw from the race branding it a "pseudo-democratic cover for the oligarchs' battles for power in favor of personal interests." However, he seems to be way past the March 7 deadline.
