I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, a city where the soft pretzel is a source of civic pride. In Philadelphia, soft pretzels are sold by street vendors. In the rest of the country, pretzels are sold in shopping malls. In Philadelphia, soft pretzels are the shape of a fat figure 8 smushed in at the sides; in the rest of the country, they're shaped like tidy bows. In Philadelphia, they come in one flavor — plain — and the customer squirts on yellow mustard from a plastic bottle. Elsewhere, pretzels are an abomination in flavors like asiago cheese and cinnamon sugar.
As you might sense, I have strong feelings about soft pretzels. When I go back to Philly, I often try to sneak one. I hold the warm pretzel in a brown paper sleeve and discreetly pull off pieces and put them in my mouth, so my daughter won't see. That's because she has celiac and can't eat Philly pretzels, since they're not gluten-free.
I was happy to introduce her to a new option: gluten-free soft pretzels from Kim & Scott's Gourmet Pretzels. The Chicago-based company is allergy-aware; they bake all their products in a nut-free facility. Now they've added gluten-free pretzels too, made with an ancient-grain gluten-free flour mix. While they are not Philly-style soft pretzels, they're as close as my daughter is going to get for now. She loved them. Her gluten-eating sister liked them but wasn't as enthusiastic.
The gluten-free pretzels are available in Kim and Scott's Cafe Twist in Chicago, plus they are sold frozen in area Whole Foods and other stores. While the pretzels are made in a facility that processes wheat, they say they take precautions to avoid cross-contamination.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has lost a court battle to prevent his extradition from the United Kingdom to Sweden to face questioning over sexual assault complaints, news outlets are reporting today.
Assange is accused of sexually assaulting two women in Sweden in August 2010, and though he has not been charged with a crime, prosecutors want to question him regarding the allegations. Assange attempted to stay in the UK, but appeals court judges rejected his arguments that it would be "unfair to send him to a country where the language and legal system are alien to him." However, another hearing will be held this month to determine whether Assange, who is under house arrest, may appeal again. Assange's extradition was previously ordered by a British court in February, but he quickly appealed that ruling.
"I have not been charged with any crime in any country," Assange said on the steps of the High Court in London, according to CNN. "Despite this, the European arrest warrant is so restrictive that it prevents UK courts from considering the facts of a case, as judges have made clear here today." A website set up on Assange's behalf is seeking donations for his cause, and has posted a copy of the court judgment against him. The Guardian reports that in order to appeal again, "Assange must persuade the judges there is a wider issue of 'public importance' at stake in the latest decision." If successful, the extradition case could go in front of the United Kingdom's supreme court.

Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers agree to $215M deal, according to AP source
Pitcher Clayton Kershaw agreed Wednesday to a $215 million, seven-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press, a deal that makes the two-time Cy Young Award winner baseball's first player with a $30 million average salary.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not yet been announced.
Kershaw receives the most lucrative deal for a pitcher, breaking the mark of $180 million set by Justin Verlander last March for his seven-year contract with Detroit.
Kershaw would have been eligible for free agency after the upcoming season if the new deal hadn't been reached. He was eligible for salary arbitration, and those figures were set to be exchanged on Friday. He was coming off a two-year, $20 million deal that included $200,000 in bonuses in 2012, a $500,000 escalator to his 2013 base salary, and $300,000 in bonuses last year.
General manager Ned Colletti said last week that both sides had been negotiating.
"It's our desire to sign him here for a very long time," Colletti said.
The average salary of $30.7 million tops the previous high of $27.5 million, set by the New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez as part of a 10-year agreement December 2007. While Roger Clemens had a contract with a listed salary of $28 million with the Yankees in 2007, he joined the team in June and actually made $17.4 million.
The Dodgers had baseball's second-highest payroll at the end of the regular season last fall — more than $236 million.
Kershaw's agreement, first reported by ESPN.com, is baseball's seventh of $200 million or more. Among current contracts, it trails only the agreements of Rodriguez, Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto ($251.5 million over 12 years), Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols ($240 million over 10 years) and Seattle second baseman Robinson Cano ($240 million over 10 years).
A left-hander who turns 26 in March, Kershaw won NL Cy Young Awards in 2011 and 2013. He was 16-9 for the NL West champion Dodgers last year and led the league with 232 strikeouts, and his 1.83 ERA was the best in the major leagues since Pedro Martinez's 1.74 for Boston in 2000. He has led the NL in ERA in each of the last three years.
Kershaw has been a powerful, yet low-key, presence on the team. In the offseason, the Dallas native has worked to build a charitable legacy alongside his wife, Ellen. The couple has made yearly trips to Africa, where his foundation that focuses on helping at-risk children built an orphanage.
The deal signifies further stability for a club that was in turmoil under former owner Frank McCourt, who sold the team to a group that includes Magic Johnson in 2012. The Dodgers signed manager Don Mattingly to a three-year deal last week and now have locked up their ace.
Last year, Kershaw pitched a career-high 259 innings between the regular season and the playoffs. The season ended on a sour note when he pitched a rare clunker in the Dodgers' 9-0 loss to St. Louis in the NL championship series that eliminated them.
Still up for discussion this winter is a new deal for Hanley Ramirez, who hit a team-leading .345 and played hurt during the NLCS. He has one year left on his contract.

At the start of each new retail season I update my wardrobe with accessories before I purchase clothing. Accessories make a simple, bold statement that can make boring old clothes from seasons past feel fresh and updated. With the right accessory you can capture a new trend at the fraction of of the cost of the full ensemble.
So I kicked off the Spring season by purchasing two items that have been on my shopping list for years: a yellow and white, smart casual, Spring scarf, and an off-white, non-patent handbag. I managed to find them both this year and I'm thrilled with how they've vividly integrated and updated my wardrobe.
The scarf is made of a soft, viscose-linen blend and is just the right shape. I like to wear this type of scarf inside the collar of a button-down shirt, or over a knitted top. I tie a Spring scarf once, loosely around my neck, so that the ends look long and streamlined down the front of my body.
You're after a lightweight scarf in a crisp fabric and cheerful colour to signal that Spring is in the air. Woolly scarves seem too Wintery. Don't be put off if my particular scarf is not to your taste, because they come in all shapes, sizes, colours and price points. Old Navy and Target are selling Spring scarves for $12 at the moment.
The second item, a perfect off-white tote complete with Chanel-esque bow, was a lucky find at the right price point. I bought it a few weeks ago when we were in New York City and carried it to my NBC Today Show interview. Like my white watch, the new bag magically transforms my transitional look to clean, crisp and modern. It's wildly versatile and I have to stop myself from wearing it with everything.
During this recession I'm on more of a mission than ever to take advantage of the power of accessories. I plan to hold out as long as possible with my existing Spring wardrobe, only indulging myself occasionally with a new accessory that livens up my wardrobe and lifts my spirits. It's going to be an interesting challenge and I'll keep you posted. Let's save some money!

Over at the new Law & Mind Blog, several Harvard Law students have been blogging about about system justification theory. Here is one of those posts, written by first -year student Marty Ehlenbach.
Yale Law Professor Amy Chua's recently published book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has become a seemingly endless source of fodder for Internet blogs and discussion groups. The book, largely meant to be a memoir, recounts the author's methods of raising her two daughters; she allowed them limited time for playdates or TV, and describes grueling methods for both study and music practice. When a short excerpt was published in the Wall Street Journal, the newspaper fielded an enormous number of comments (7670 at this writing) expressing a wide variety of opinions on the topic. Even The Onion has weighed in on the subject.
Why does this book seem to resonate with so many people? One possible explanation is that it makes a distinction between a "Western" and "Chinese" parent in a time when many people seem to be particularly sensitive to any sort of cultural comparison. Chua's stereotypical model of "Western" parenting describes a childhood lacking in any discipline and in some ways signifying a lack of commitment by parents to make their children into the most successful people possible. A New York Times article underscored the idea that there are many different types of skills needed to be a success, and believes that Professor Chua's parenting style does not appropriately develop "soft skills" like communication and teamwork necessary in most business environments.
Blasi and Jost's chapter on System Justification Theory ("SJT") can serve to illuminate certain biases present in the story and in reactions to Chua's assertions. The author, as a Yale professor, is admittedly a fairly elite member of our society, so she is not looking at the system from a position of disadvantage. The story clearly prescribes a particular path to success and shows an ultimate belief in the "winner's" mantra as described by Jost:
I am deserving. My group is deserving. And, fortunately, we live in a system that has the wisdom and justice to reward deserving people.
Chua writes that "tenacious practice, practice, practice is crucial for excellence," but this idea necessarily presupposes that with excellence will come success. It doesn't really address the differences in educational opportunities available to many children, but seems to have faith that the current system will treat people fairly by recognizing hard work. Losers in the system are clearly "lazy, unintelligent, poorly educated, or irresponsible" as described by Jost. Jost and Blasi recognize that system justification theory can be used to analyze ideologies like the Protestant work ethic and a belief in a meritocracy: Chua's entire child-rearing method has aspects of both.
Another interesting connection between Jost's theory and Chua's book is the possibility that Chua could be providing ultimate justification for the type of upbringing that she experienced. The article on SJT shows that even on a micro-level, within a particular family, people still use methods of ego and system justification to perpetuate particular social arrangements. Chua herself was clearly raised by fairly strict Asian parents; she describes her father calling her "garbage" at one point when she was disrespectful. One wonders if this book is simply a way to legitimize her own upbringing and defend her willingness to create a similar type of relationship with her own daughters. Chua's daughter Sophia, in an open letter defending her mother's treatment, says that she "decided to be an easy child to raise": the fact that she called it a "decision" could be an early justification for her own upbringing, and might show an early willingness to conform to her parents' expected behaviors. Many of those commenting on the articles who described themselves as being being raised by parents similar to the "Tiger Mother" also spoke about how much they appreciated their parents' tough love.
Chua's story has important implications, I believe, for our legal system as pertains to victims of abuse. I do not mean to suggest that Chua's methods constitute abuse; her goal was clearly to help her children be successful, and as one article described, shows a fear that success is becoming difficult to obtain in a world of increasing competition and a less than robust job market. This is a legitimate worry. Furthermore, I cannot pretend to understand the complex relationship between another parent and child, because they are quite unique and often complicated. However, recognizing that this justification can satisfy "needs for consistency, coherence, and certainty" as described by Blasi and Jost, and analyzing one woman's story through this lens, leads one to wonder how the legal system could account for a demonstrable bias towards the status quo. Before a real abuse victim can come forward, she or he must be able to recognize that she does not actually deserve the behavior to which she is being subjected, and SJT posits that this recognition is not automatic. Furthermore, we don't want to believe that our system is corrupt, but in many cases it is not the most hardworking who become successful, and frequently injustice is neither obvious nor easily corrected.

WTF Wednesday! Now with more cursing action!
**Note added below. Keepin' y'all on your toes!
The mood has been a little heavy over here at WonderBaby headquarters. Which means that it's time for the weekly WTF Wednesday interlude.
Conveniently brought to you on Tuesdays. Because here in WonderBabylandia we try to keep the masses happy.
And keeping the masses happy is good politics. Someone recently tried to start a revolution here, and so it is imperative that we set about distracting the masses with bread and circuses. Because sooner or later someone else is going to realize that this is, however benevolent, a dictatorship and that dissenters are administered 40 Big Word lashes before being subjected to Hard Pinches from WonderBaby's loyal subjects and then chased out over the drawbridge by shouting Cultish Mommy Bloggers (see below) with sticks and forced to start Their Own Blog.
(Yes, you may visit This Blog. There is currently no embargo, no travel advisory, and, to the best of our knowledge, no vaccinations are necessary. We prefer that you visit blogs with which we have established diplomatic relations - partial list at right, no passport stamps currently available - but we have not established any curtain, Iron or otherwise, with dissenting blogs and will not do so until such blogs become openly hostile. If you do choose to visit This Blog, however, please abide by interblog norms of civility and observe the rules of conduct of that site. For example: no Kool-Aid, and no cursing. Yes, the latter will deaden your self-expression, but rest assured that full cursing freedoms can be enjoyed when you return to WonderBabylandia. Which you fucking better well do. Her Bad Mother gets lonely cursing to herself.)
(Although do please refrain from bringing any plant or animal life back with you upon your return. And wipe your feet.)
In the meantime, to ensure that you remain loyal to WonderBaby, Imperial Leader, and to the cult of Her Bad Mother, we offer you fun and distraction! In the form of WTF Points of Interest, or Things That We Here At WonderBaby Headquarters Have Discovered This Week:
1. The Mystery of the Mutant Seal Block Revealed:
Remember that one? In the foreground? Seemed to be some sort of mutant seal, or earless cat, possibly performing yoga poses?
I think that I know what it is:
A Shmoo. Okay, so the Shmoo lacks the front legs and tail of the mutant block creature, but aren't Shmoos shape-shifters? In any case, they are truly extraordinary creatures, not unlike bulbous-headed Lilliputians. Because they are self-replicating and can produce any imaginable resource - meat, buttons, toothpicks - from their Shmoo bodies, Shmoos can form the the basis of a completely sustainable and self-sufficient economy, one that doesn't rely upon the exchange of commodities. And they are, apparently, more entertaining than television. So, the blocks upon which these Shmoo appear are clearly Communist propaganda. Make of that what you will.
2. In addition to being an unreliable narrator, I have, according to one Paul Larman of Barrie, Ontario, 'saddening' and 'frightening' views on parenting. This was pronounced after the National Post published a letter that I wrote addressing Caitlin Flanagan's recent work, in which I stated, among other things, that happy families require happy mothers, and that happy mothers are - whether SAHM, WAHM, or WOHM or whatever - mothers that have choices and are happy with their choices. This, according to Mr. Larman is a selfish view, and one that saddens and frightens him. More on this later in the week.
**When I post on this, I'll include the letters. So, no need to fuss about with online subscriptions to the Post get up to date. I'll fill you in; I promise. And although I may be many troubling things - saddening, frightening, an unreliable narrator, and burdened with a potty mouth - I always keep my promises. Well, most of them. I'll keep this one. Because I want you to like me, and to not defect to any protest camps.
3. Hammer still hasn't visited my blog. But he's been busy hanging with Sting (who's looking a bit rough and Malcom McDowell-ish these days) and taking random photos of exercise equipment, so that probably explains it. He's busy. Or maybe he's just afraid of...
4. Rampaging Mommy Blogger Cults!
Apparently, I am a member of a cult (see here, and comments here). The insidious Cult of Mommy Bloggers, who quaff emotional KoolAid and propagate nonsense about Empowerment and Disempowerment and chant lamentations for the Great Mother Struggle while choreographing pro-mother dance cheers (Woe Betide the Mothers/Go Mothers Go!) Ours is a great and dangerous cult, one that is dedicated to Mother World Domination and the mocking of Tom Cruise. We are fuelled by a dangerous cocktail of hormones, baby-love and virtual KoolAid, and we are actively recruiting and brainwashing new members.
If you are reading this, and you have a blog, or even if you don't have a blog, but are mesmerized by. My. Big. Words. And. Occasional. Cursing. And. Random. Photographs. Of. Big. Eyed. Child... you have been sucked in and you have become a member of the cult, too.
(Grandmistress Kristen! Note hypnotic use of punctuation above!)
People of the Blogosphere. You have been enslaved by Xenu. I can free you.
But you must send money. Now.
Sucked in yet?

Personnel changes in the Nationals Park dugout were the main topic of discussion in the Natosphere this opening weekend, but outside the dugout, another newcomer was introduced to the stadium faithful.
Long-time Nationals in-stadium host Clint Khoury has a new partner-in-crime for the NatsHD segments that appear on the Nationals Park scoreboard before and during the games.
Listeners to The Kane Show on DC's Hot 99.5 FM will recognize the the Nats' new self-described "Hype Girl" as Sarah Fraser, co-host of the top-rated morning drive program. Fraser also hosts her own late morning block called simply "The Sarah Show" from 10am-12pm. She also appears weekly on NBC 4's "Daily Connection," and has filled in as a traffic reporter on WTOP news radio.
A native of Maine, Fraser, 28, moved to the District after graduating from Mt. Holyoke College. On her website HeyFraz.com, she writes that she is taking classes at the DC Improv and working toward her debut as a stand-up comic.
Yes, I know the baseball purists would prefer to do away with in-game hosts altogether, but NatsHD pays the bills, and the kids and casual fans love it.
The co-host job has been a revolving door since Nationals Park opened, but if this opening weekend was any indication, the Nats have finally found a great counterpart to Clint.
Fraser is focused and full of energy — in this fan's eyes, a definite and welcome upgrade!

Your last day of a trip (I have to return to NYC for visa paperwork etc.)you decide you're going to indulge yourself and have something you've been longing to taste (in my case anyway it's usually food). This divine tarte au pomme is from Secco and thanks Gawd they didn't have the mini 5 euros size available. But this tarte is out of this world Fab. I have tasted this tarte FYI on several unforgetable occasions.
SPECULOOS spread or tartiner.
I have been eyeballing this almost daily in every supermarche I enter (I enter many being a fan). Interesting tidbit of information - all supermarches seem to stock the tartiners on the bottom shelf, so you have to kneel down to find them (and praise them appropriately I suppose...).
Then proceed to slather with the Speculoos spread = sheer unadulterated heaven IMHO.
A little background info - my father was a big gingerbread fan (a not so distant cousin of Dutch Speculoos) so naturally I feel a deep genetic attachment to this cookie/spread. Am I wrong? Speculoos ingredients:
flour, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg.
David Lebovitz did an homage to speculoos spread all fans shouldn't miss.
Stuff like that happens on the day of your departure doesn't it?
Bye bye Eiffel Tower, I'm now a big fan.
Happily the AF plane is near empty and we get to snooze all the way

FreeBSD Manual Pages
ACCEPT(2) BSD System Calls Manual ACCEPT(2) NAME accept -- accept a connection on a socket LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> int accept(int s, struct sockaddr * restrict addr, socklen_t * restrict addrlen); DESCRIPTION The argument s is a socket that has been created with socket(2), bound to an address with bind(2), and is listening for connections after a listen(2). The accept() system call extracts the first connection re- quest on the queue of pending connections, creates a new socket, and al- locates a new file descriptor for the socket which inherits the state of the O_NONBLOCK property from the original socket s. If no pending connections are present on the queue, and the original socket is not marked as non-blocking, accept() blocks the caller until a connection is present. If the original socket is marked non-blocking and no pending connections are present on the queue, accept() returns an er- ror as described below. The accepted socket may not be used to accept more connections. The original socket s remains open. The argument addr is a result argument that is filled-in with the address of the connecting entity, as known to the communications layer. The ex- act format of the addr argument is determined by the domain in which the communication is occurring. A null pointer may be specified for addr if the address information is not desired; in this case, addrlen is not used and should also be null. Otherwise, the addrlen argument is a value-re- sult argument; it should initially contain the amount of space pointed to by addr; on return it will contain the actual length (in bytes) of the address returned. This call is used with connection-based socket types, currently with SOCK_STREAM. It is possible to select(2) a socket for the purposes of doing an accept() by selecting it for read. For certain protocols which require an explicit confirmation, such as ISO or DATAKIT, accept() can be thought of as merely dequeueing the next con- nection request and not implying confirmation. Confirmation can be im- plied by a normal read or write on the new file descriptor, and rejection can be implied by closing the new socket. For some applications, performance may be enhanced by using an accept_filter(9) to pre-process incoming connections. RETURN VALUES The call returns -1 on error. If it succeeds, it returns a non-negative integer that is a descriptor for the accepted socket. ERRORS The accept() system call will fail if: [EBADF] The descriptor is invalid. [EINTR] The accept() operation was interrupted. [EMFILE] The per-process descriptor table is full. [ENFILE] The system file table is full. [ENOTSOCK] The descriptor references a file, not a socket. [EINVAL] listen(2) has not been called on the socket descrip- tor. [EINVAL] The addrlen argument is negative. [EFAULT] The addr argument is not in a writable part of the user address space. [EWOULDBLOCK] The socket is marked non-blocking and no connections are present to be accepted. [ECONNABORTED] A connection arrived, but it was closed while waiting on the listen queue. SEE ALSO bind(2), connect(2), getpeername(2), listen(2), select(2), socket(2), accept_filter(9) HISTORY The accept() system call appeared in 4.2BSD. BSD December 11, 1993 BSD

Two articles appearing in The Argus on this day in 1899 have some relevance today. Both dairy farmers and earthquakes have been in the news of late.
At least the dairy farmers of 1899 didn't have to contend with supermarkets selling their milk at discounted prices.
Wartook is a small settlement in the Grampians National Park, north of Halls Gap. A reservoir was built in 1887 to provide water to the Wimmera/Mallee and at one time there was a post office and school. Interestingly, further research at the Seismicity of Western Australia website found that an earthquake was felt in Robe, South Australia on 2 May 1899 which was a magnitude 5.3 quake. Robe is about 300kms south-west of Wartook. An article from the South Australian Register can be seen at the following link Robe Earthquake

Congress Averts Government Shutdown, But Still Divided On Payroll Tax Cut
Update at 1:50 p.m. ET. Government Will Not Shutdown:
The House of Representatives just passed a $1 trillion spending bill that will keep the government running through the fall. Congress, however, is still deadlocked on two major pieces of legislation. The extension of the payroll tax cut, which is a priority for the Obama administration and an extension of jobless benefits to to the long-term unemployed.
Our Original Post Continues:
While it looks like there won't be a partial shutdown of the federal government later today, thanks to a deal on a $1 trillion-plus spending measure, there's still no agreement on extending the program that provides jobless benefits to the long-term unemployed or on extending a cut in the payroll tax.
As NPR's Tamara Keith said on Morning Edition, however, even though Republicans and Democrats have sharp disagreements on how to get those extensions done, lawmakers really, really don't want to go home for the holidays without having some taken action on the payroll tax and unemployment benefit issues. So stay tuned.
According to The Washington Post, the solution that members of Congress come up with on the payroll tax cut extension might basically be to kick the issue down the road. Lawmakers are "considering extending the $120 billion tax break for two months to buy more time to determine how they offset the benefit's cost so it does not add to the federal deficit," the Post says.
The Associated Press says there's talk among lawmakers about also extending the long-term unemployment benefits for another two months.

So, today is a new day. I got up and felt a bit better, so I sent my mom home for the weekend. John is back home too which is nice. With everything that was going on, I missed him so much. Probably more than I ever had before.
He got home late last night and bought me some really great perfumes and lotions which was sweet. He also met up with some old friends of his and brought home some things from them too;) It seems everyone wants to help me through this , and that's such a wonderful thing. They are a couple John hasn't seen in years, but when they heard about my situation they wanted to help in any way. Very sweet. Makes you think the human race isn't so bad after all. 🙂 🙂
Anyhow, some reflecting today as I prepare for chemo 3-8. I just wish I had more behind me:( Time can't go by fast enough right now. January 16th I found out I had cancer and then the wheels started turning shortly after. It is mid March , and I just want to speed through till the end of May. Oh, well I guess you can't rush these things.

Orion ousts Boilers; Geese vs. Braves at ROWVA
Class 2A Rockridge Regional
Rockridge 75, Mercer County 36
Orion 55, Kewanee 53 OT
Orion ended Kewanee's season with a 55-53 overtime win in Wednesday's Rockridge Regional.
A layup at the buzzer by Dylan Schultz gave Orion the win in a game Kewanee led by nine points in the second half.
In the first half, the Boilers scorched the nets at a 10-for-12 clip, which included 3 for 4 from behind the arc.
Holding the Chargers to just five points on 2-of-11 shooting in the second quarter, Kewanee pulled out to a 24-16 halftime lead.
Dayton Ince had 11 points in the first half for the Boilers, including three 3-pointers. Dalton Nuding added eight in the half.
Early in the third quarter Orion put on a full-court press, forced four Kewanee turnovers and got to within one at 29-28.
But Matt Gustafson hit a three, and an Ince layup and another three by Jared Nimrick built the lead back to eight points.
In the fourth quarter it was the Boilers' turn to go cold, hitting just two of their first 10 shots. Orion cut into the Boilers' lead, and Adam Killion hit a three with just under three minutes left to tie the game at 44. A few seconds later Schultz's layup made it 46-44 Orion. A shot by Donovan Oliver tied it at 46, and Oliver's feed to David Washburn resulted in a 48-46 Kewanee lead.
But Orion's Tyler Nelson tied it again at 48, and Ince's 3-point shot at the buzzer missed.
In overtime, the Boilers fell behind 53-50 but Ince's fifth three of the night tied it.
Starting with 13 seconds left in the game, Orion ran the clock down until a backdoor pass freed Schultz for his game-winner with less than a second left.
Ince led all scorers with 22, Nuding had 12 and Oliver 10. Schultz led the Chargers with 19 points, and Nelson had 14.
Orion will face regional host Rockridge in the championship game Friday night, after the top-seeded Rockets, led by Wisconsin recruit Ethan Happ, crushed Mercer County 75-36.
Class 1A ROWVA Regional
Wethersfield 62, Abingdon 45
Annawan 51, Galva 46
The top-seeded Geese and giant-killer Braves meet for the fourth time Friday night in the title game at ROWVA.
Wethersfield buried Abingdon in the fourth quarter for a 62-45 win, while Annawan upset second-seeded Galva 51-46.
Wethersfield put on a clinic in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Commandos 19-3 to pull away for the win.
"I'm proud of my guys. They just battled and found a way to win it," said Wethersfield coach Jeff Parsons.
Abingdon's Josh Swedlund hit a three with just over five minutes to play in the fourth quarter, putting the Commandos on top 45-43. But the rest of the night belonged to the Geese.
Tyler Litton tied the game 45-all with a putback on the offensive glass, and Matt Jenkins hit a three to put Wethersfield up for keeps at 45-48.
The Geese proceeded to rattle off the last 19 points of the game, including hitting 10 of 12 free throws to ice the victory.
"We hit our free throws, which we've kind of been struggling at lately," said Parsons. "We were concentrating on getting the ball into the hands of our best free throw shooters."
Trevor Lay led the Geese (24-6) with 20 points, followed by Jenkins with 17 and Litton with 10.
"You can't win a regional championship unless you're in the game," said Parsons. "There wasn't any talk about Friday until Wednesday was over with."
In game two, Annawan pulled its second upset at Oneida by knocking out Galva.
The Wildcats pulled even 35-all on a pair of Dexter Ingels free throws early in the fourth quarter, but Annawan outscored Galva 16-11 down the stretch to knock out the No. 2 seed.
Class 2A Bureau Valley Regional
Seneca 42, Hall 40
St. Bede 77, Bureau Valley 40

In one of the more audacious and ethically questionable research projects in recent memory, an anonymous hacker built a botnet of more than 420,000 Internet-connected devices and used it to perform one of the most comprehensive surveys ever to measure the insecurity of the global network.
In all, the nine-month scanning project found 420 million IPv4 addresses that responded to probes and 36 million more addresses that had one or more ports open. A large percentage of the unsecured devices bore the hallmarks of broadband modems, network routers, and other devices with embedded operating systems that typically aren't intended to be exposed to the outside world. The researcher found a total of 1.3 billion addresses in use, including 141 million that were behind a firewall and 729 million that returned reverse domain name system records. There were no signs of life from the remaining 2.3 billion IPv4 addresses.
Continually scanning almost 4 billion addresses for nine months is a big job. In true guerilla research fashion, the unknown hacker developed a small scanning program that scoured the Internet for devices that could be logged into using no account credentials at all or the usernames and passwords of either "root" or "admin." When the program encountered unsecured devices, it installed itself on them and used them to conduct additional scans. The viral growth of the botnet allowed it to infect about 100,000 devices within a day of the program's release. The critical mass allowed the hacker to scan the Internet quickly and cheaply. With about 4,000 clients, it could scan one port on all 3.6 billion addresses in a single day. Because the project ran 1,000 unique probes on 742 separate ports, and possibly because the binary was uninstalled each time an infected device was restarted, the hacker commandeered a total of 420,000 devices to perform the survey.
More than nine terabytes of data
"A lot of devices and services we have seen during our research should never be connected to the public Internet at all," the guerilla researcher concluded in a 5,000-word report titled Internet Census 2012: Port scanning /0 using insecure embedded devices. "As a rule of thumb, if you believe that 'nobody would connect to the Internet, really nobody,' there are at least 1,000 people who did. Whenever you think 'that shouldn't be on the Internet but will probably be found a few times' it's there a few hundred thousand times. Like half a million printers, or a million Webcams, or devices that have root as a root password."
In all, the botnet, which the researcher named "Carna" after the Roman goddess of physical health, collected more than 9TB worth of data. It performed 52 billion ICMP ping probes, 180 billion service probe records, and 2.8 billion SYN scan records for 660 million IPs with 71 billion ports tested. The researcher said he took precautions to prevent his program from disrupting the normal operation of the infected devices.
"Our binaries were running with the lowest possible priority and included a watchdog that would stop the executable in case anything went wrong," he wrote. "Our scanner was limited to 128 simultaneous connections and had a connection timeout of 12 seconds."
He continued: "We used the devices as a tool to work at the Internet scale. We did this in the least invasive way possible and with the maximum respect to the privacy of the regular device users."
The researcher found that his scanning program wasn't the only unauthorized code hitching a free ride on some of the commandeered devices. Competing botnet programs such as one known as Aidra infected as many as 30,000 embedded devices including the Linux-powered Dreambox TV receiver and other devices that run on a MIPS hardware. The scanning software detected capabilities in Aidra that forced compromised devices to carry out a variety of denial-of-service attacks on targets selected by the malicious botnet operators.
"Apparently its author only built it for a few platforms, so a majority of our target devices could not be infected with Aidra," the researcher reported. "Since Aidra was clearly made for malicious actions and we could actually see their Internet scale deployment at that moment, we decided to let our bot stop
telnet after deployment and applied the same
iptable rules Aidra does, if
iptables was available. This step was required to block Aidra from exploiting these machines for malicious activity."
The changes didn't survive reboots, however, allowing Aidra to resume control of the embedded devices once they were restarted. The scanning program was programmed to install itself on uninfected devices, so it's possible it may have repeatedly disrupted the malicious bot software only to be foiled each time a device was rebooted.
Breaking the law
The research project almost certainly violated federal statutes prohibiting the unauthorized access of protected computers and possibly other hacking offenses. And since the unknown researcher is willing to take ethical and legal liberties in his work, it's impossible to verify that he carried out the project in the manner described in the paper. Still, the findings closely resemble those of HD Moore, the CSO of security firm Rapid7 and chief architect of the Metasploit software framework used by hackers and penetration testers. Over a 12-month period last year, he used ethical and legal means to probe up to 18 ports of every IPv4 Internet address three or four times each day. The conclusion: there are about 1.3 billion addresses that respond to various scans, with about 500 million to 600 million of them coming from embedded devices that were never intended to be reachable on the Internet.
Over three months in mid-2012, the researcher sent an astounding 4 trillion service probes, 175 billion of which were sent back and saved. In mid-December the researcher probed the top 30 ports, providing about 5 billion additional saved service probes. A detailed list of the probes sent to specific ports is here.
"This looks pretty accurate," Moore said of the guerilla report, which included a wealth of raw data to document the findings. "Embedded devices really are one of the most common devices on the Internet, and the security of these devices is terrible. I ran into a number of active botnets using those devices to propagate."
The only way to ultimately confirm the veracity of the findings is to go through the data in precise detail, which is something fellow researchers have yet to do publicly.
Moore said there were advantages and disadvantages to each of the studies. While use of an illicit botnet may have provided greater visibility into the overall Internet population, it amounted to a much briefer snapshot in time. Moore's approach, by contrast, was more limited since it probed just 18 ports. But because it surveyed devices every day for a year, its results are less likely to reflect anomalies resulting from seasonal differences in Internet usage.
Putting aside the ethical and legal concerns of taking unauthorized control of hundreds of millions of devices, the researcher builds a compelling case for taking on the project.
"We would also like to mention that building and running a gigantic botnet and then watching it as it scans nothing less than the whole Internet at rates of billions of IPs per hour over and over again is really as much fun as it sounds like," he wrote. What's more, with the advent of IPv6, the opportunity may never come again, since the next-generation routing system offers orders of magnitude more addresses that are impossible to be scanned en masse.
The researcher concluded by explaining the ultimate reason he took on the project.
"I did not want to ask myself for the rest of my life how much fun it could have been or if the infrastructure I imagined in my head would have worked as expected," he explained. "I saw the chance to really work on an Internet scale, command hundred thousands of devices with a click of my mouse, portscan and map the whole Internet in a way nobody had done before, basically have fun with computers and the Internet in a way very few people ever will. I decided it would be worth my time."

Police raided the Melbourne offices of the assisted-suicide advocacy organization Exit International last Thursday, seizing documents related to the alleged assisted suicide of Exit International member Frank Ward. In response to this and to the raid of another Exit International member's home, Exit International has told its 4,000 members to be wary not to attract police activity, reports James Tillman, LifeSiteNews.com.
"We haven't had any incidents like this for a long time," said Dr. Philip Nitschke, head of Exit International.
The raid highlights the dubious legal status of Exit International's activities. Because assisting or even encouraging suicide is illegal in Australia, Exit International bills its workshops, books, suicide equipment, and all its activities as merely providing people with knowledge and equipment to allow them to do what they want, not as actually assisting them in the act of suicide. According to Nitschke, such was the extent of Exit International's contact with Ward.
"[Police] were suggesting we were involved in his death but we were not," Nitschke told Television New Zealand. "We would never be actively involved in something like that, helping him end his life, which would be committing a crime."
According to Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, such protestations of innocence are dubious.
"I think that this raid is long-overdue," he told LifeSiteNews.com (LSN). "Nitschke has been skirting the law for many years."
Frank Ward killed himself last June by inhaling helium, which causes asphyxia. This method of suicide is among those promoted by Dr. Nitschke. Schadenberg described to LSN how at a Right-to-Die Conference he saw Nitschke demonstrate "how a device that he claimed to have invented would regulate the flow of gas to ensure that … the act would result in their death."
"Nitschke was not concerned that he was aiding suicide by knowingly selling a device to ensure the success of a suicide."
A widespread dissemination of information on how to kill oneself, however, is precisely what Nitschke desires. In an interview
with National Review he said that someone needs to provide the knowledge of how to kill oneself "to anyone who wants it, including the depressed, the elderly bereaved, [and] the troubled teen."
"If we are to remain consistent and we believe that the individual has the right to dispose of their life, we should not erect artificial barriers in the way of sub-groups who don't meet our criteria," he said.
The second raid on Thursday was directly related to this desire of Nitschke. Police came to the home of an elderly Exit International member in Sydney to search for the euthanasia drug Nembutal and information concerning its acquisition. They left with a small quantity of the drug and the "Peaceful Pill Handbook," a book by Nitschke and a co-author on how to kill oneself that was banned by the Australian government.
Nembutal is used by veterinarians to euthanize animals, and is tightly controlled in most places around the world. Nitschke's organization, however, has striven to make it available to as many people as possible.
"Last year Nitschke was encouraging people to order Nembutal by mail order from a source that he had discovered," Schadenberg said. "Once again, he wasn't concerned that people with chronic depression would access this information to kill themselves." Members of Exit International also travel to Mexico to buy the drug, where it is easily obtained.
Nitschke explained that because of the raids Exit Internatonal had sent an alert to its 4,000 members "warning them about the fact that … people should be very careful if they've gone to great lengths to get these drugs so that they don't find themselves subject of any form of police activity"
Schadenberg, however, thinks it high time that such activity began in earnest.
"It is simply about time that his offices were investigated, especially now that he has set up an office in Bellingham, Washington state, where he intends to launch his group into the United States," he said.
"He intends to grow his group Exit International and he is doing this through his recent series of speaking engagements throughout the United States, Britain and Canada."
Report from the Christian Telegraph

Late on 24 January 1882, Mrs Ellen Gamble of Colac was lonely. Calling at her son's home, a few doors from her own cottage, she tried to persuade him to drink rum with her. He refused, so she suggested her six-year-old granddaughter, Mary Ann, go home with her for company. Thankfully, the child was already asleep and her mother refused. Ellen returned to her empty home and continued to drink. Her husband lived elsewhere in the town, probably because of her intemperance. At some point in the late hours of the day, an incident occurred, most likely involving a candle, which would see her small weatherboard cottage quickly go up in flames. With the fire doused, little remained. That night my ggg grandmother made the news. It may not have been the first time, but it would be the last.
How did a woman, in her late fifties and mother of seven come to live this seemingly lonely, drunken existence?
Ellen Barry was born in Ireland around 1823, the daughter of Edward Barry and Johanna Gould. It was some time before I had any leads on her arrival in Australia, but I knew it was early as I had found her marriage in 1844 to Thomas Gamble. Thanks to the website Came to Port Phillip by 1847, I was able to find out more not only of her arrival, but her character.
There are three "Ellen Barrys" listed on the site. One is a seventeen-year-old from Tipperary, Ireland arriving in December 1840 aboard the Orient with her older sister Mary. I decided to trace Mary Barry and found her marriage to Robert Walker in 1841, time spent in Colac in 1852 and her death in 1905. Her parents were Edward Barry and Johanna Gould. Through Mary, I had found my Ellen.
The girls were bounty passengers. Something that made me think I had found the right girls was a report on the voyage. Mary, nineteen, and a group of up to twenty girls were disruptive during the trip and Mary's bounty was withheld from the immigration agent, Mr Marshall. Allegations included them causing problems among the married couples and distracting the crew from their work. One can only imagine the behaviour they were engaging in.
Bawdy Irish girls were not the only cargo on the ship making the news. A pipe organ for St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney was a much-anticipated arrival, as reported in the Australian Chronicle (Sydney 1839-1849) on 26 January 26 1841. Sadly too, it came to a fiery end in 1865 when the Cathedral was destroyed by fire, as reported in the Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser on 1 July 1865.
Also on board was a pure bred Durham bull imported by none other than immigration agent, Mr Marshall. It appears to have been better cared for than the human cargo.
After finding a reference to Ellen in the book "St Mary's Geelong: It's Founding Community", a check of the Orient passenger list was called for as the Biographical Index in the book, lists Ellen, (Helen in the book) as arriving on the Thetis in 1842 with a sister Mary. The passenger lists are available online at NSW State Records. The list for the Orient shows Ellen, seventeen and Mary, nineteen from Tipperary, Ireland, Roman Catholic, neither able to read or write and their occupations were housemaids. The passenger list for the Thetis had only an Anne Barry aged twenty-seven from Clare, no Ellen or Mary.
Ellen stayed in Melbourne after her arrival and in 1844 she married Thomas Gamble at St Francis Catholic Church, Victoria's first Catholic church.
Their first child, Matthew, my gg grandfather, was born in Newtown in 1845. "St Mary's Geelong: It's Founding Community" mentions early church records showing his birthplace as the Newtown which became Collingwood.
Edward was born in 1847. The Ancestry Australian Birth Index shows his birthplace as Ashbourne, near Woodend. I tend to think it is Ashby, Geelong, later to become Geelong West, as third son Mark Thomas was born in 1851 at Kildare, Geelong, now also known as Geelong West.
Soon after, the Gamble family moved to Colac as brickmaker Thomas had a job opportunity in the town. The move would see him set up a brick making business in Colac.
Thanks to the wonderful Geelong and District database, I was able to find the also wonderful, award-winning online Colac Court of Petty Sessions register 1849-1865. It is a pleasure to read the digital images of the register and to see the original handwriting. Ellen appeared seven times from 1851 to 1860. Most offences stemmed from drunkenness.
- December 1851 – faced the Colac court for being drunk – charge dismissed.
- Monday 9 October 1854 – faced court for being drunk on Rice's Licensed Premises – fined £2
- 2 January 1856 – unknown charge – fined £2
- 30 May 1857 – fined 2/7 for breaking glass
- 5 July 1857 – drunk and using obscene language – dismissed
- 22 July 1857 – drunk in a public place £1 fine – if not paid "to be locked up for one week"
- 30 October 1860 – drunk
Ellen was aged twenty-five to thirty-four during this time and by 1861 she had seven children, the eldest fifteen and four under five. She had babies in 1851, 1856 and 1857 when five of the offences were committed.
It seems Ellen left a legacy. Her son William Gamble faced court for a domestic dispute with his wife's sister and husband. A grandson, Robert Gamble, faced court for petty crimes and at one stage was in imprisoned in a reformatory and escaped! Another grandson, Joseph Henry Gamble, my great-grandfather also battled with alcohol, committed petty crimes and died alone, estranged from his family.
That brings us back to 1882 and the night Ellen died in such sad circumstances, which saw her reported in the papers as either an old or elderly woman. Sadly her last newspaper account was not a glowing obituary such as those posted at Passing of the Pioneers. She was a pioneer, one of the early ones, normally held in high regard, yet Ellen was remembered as an old drunken woman who died in a fire. To date, I have found twelve different newspaper reports on her death and I am sure I will find more, not only of that fateful day but her earlier activities.
There is a reference to Ellen in the book "Wild and Wondrous Women of Geelong", this time as a victim of an attack by another woman, but I doubt it was without provocation. That is how I like to remember Ellen, one of my favourite ancestors, as a "Wild and Wondrous Woman".

It should come as no surprise that every character in a movie called
is either rotten to the core, or a liar, or a schemer, or the bearer of seriously damaging secrets. What is surprising — and frustrating, really — is that these characters never feel like real people, despite a series of twists that should reveal hidden, unexpected facets of their personalities and despite being played by big-name stars including Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta-Jones. They're all still conniving, only with varying alliances and targets. At the center of these dizzying double crosses is Wahlberg as Billy Taggart, a former New York police detective who got kicked off the force after a questionable shooting. Seven years later, Billy is barely getting by as a private eye in Brooklyn. He is, however, sober these days and enjoying life with his gorgeous actress-girlfriend (Natalie Martinez) who's just starred in her first film. (Clips of the movie, which we see at the premiere, have the glossy, stilted look of a commercial for erectile dysfunction medication, just one of many elements of director Allen Hughes' film that feel distractingly unconvincing.) Then one day, New York City Mayor Nicholas Hostetler (Crowe), who'd always been on Billy's side, hires Billy to investigate whether his wife (Zeta-Jones) is having an affair. Hostetler is up for re-election in a week and doesn't want to lose to his young, well-financed challenger, Jack Valliant (Barry Pepper), over scandalous revelations that he's being cuckolded. But Billy's digging, with the help of his wisecracking assistant (Alona Tal, who shares some amusing banter with Wahlberg), leads to layers upon layers of discoveries that indicate that the mayor is setting him up. These involve Valliant, Valliant's campaign manager (Kyle Chandler), the police commissioner (Jeffrey Wright) and some wealthy, well-connected land developers. Everything is simultaneously too complicated and overly spelled-out in Brian Tucker's script, and none of it is terribly intriguing. Hughes, best known as one-half of the filmmaking Hughes Brothers ("Menace II Society," "The Book of Eli"), has come up with a forgettable piece of pulp with some uncomfortable injections of humor and a weird homophobic streak. For a supposedly great detective, Wahlberg's character always seems sort of startled and one step behind. When Billy finally does fall off the wagon — which is no big shocker, given how much he talks about his sobriety — neither the drinking nor the recovery feels authentic. Crowe is singularly sleazy behind his inconsistent New York accent. And Zeta-Jones, despite being confident and well-coifed at all times, feels underused in a poorly developed (but theoretically pivotal) supporting part. Everyone involved here has made and will make vastly better films. Time to deposit that paycheck and move on. "Broken City" — rated R for pervasive language, some violence and sexual content — opens today. Running time: 1 hour, 48 minutes. One and a half stars out of four

Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic
Icon Group International, 2008 - 339 pagine
This edition is written in English. However, there is a running Korean thesaurus at the bottom of each page for the more difficult English words highlighted in the text. There are many editions of Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic. This edition would be useful if you would like to enrich your Korean-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to "difficult, yet commonly used" English words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Korean, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English without using the notes as a pure translation crutch.

What is a regular expression? In a nutshell, regular expressions provide a simple way to transform raw data into something useable. In the preface of Mastering Regular Expressions (O'Reilly & Associates), Jeffrey Friedl writes:
"There's a good reason that regular expressions are found in so many diverse applications: they are extremely powerful. At a low level, a regular expression describes a chunk of text. You might use it to verify a user's input, or perhaps to sift through large amounts of data. On a higher level, regular expressions allow you to master your data. Control it. Put it to work for you. To master regular expressions is to master your data."
You may not know this, but regular expressions are found in the Microsft Visual Studio text search tool. It provides a very powerful way to search for complex patterns in your code (or any text file for that matter). Here are a few links on the web to help you get started with regular expressions if you've never used them before.
Regular expressions, while seemingly difficult to learn, are one of the most powerful tools in a programmer's arsenal, yet many programmers never take advantage of them. You can certainly write your own text parsers that will get the job done, but doing it that way takes more time, is far more error prone, and is nowhere near as fun (IMHO).
Regex++ is a regular expression library available from http://www.boost.org. Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. Take a look at the website to learn more. We are only concerned with Regex++ for our purposes, but you may find many of their libraries useful. The original Regex++ author's website is http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/John_Maddock/
Note: The following instructions will only work if you have Visual Studio 6 or 7 installed.
To install Regex++, complete the following steps (Detailed instructions are also availabe in the Regex++ download itself):
nmake -fvc6.mak
nmake -fvc6.mak install
nmake -fvc6.mak clean
Now that your library is built and in place, it is ready to use. The project that I've included above is intended to demonstrate how you can simply parse HTML. All you need to do now is open the project and ensure that project settings are pointing to the appropriate regex++ lib and include directories. But first a short discussion
Note: To add the Regex++ library to your project select Project | Settings.... In the ensuing dialog, select the C/C++ tab. In the Category drop down list, select Preprocessor. In the Additional include directories: edit box enter C:\Regex++. Now select the Link tab. In the Category drop down list, select Input. In the Additional library path: edit box enter C:\Regex++.
HTML parsers are nothing new. There is really no reason someone should have to write their own (that I can think of, at least) since the wheel has already been invented. That being said, the example we are going to be using does just that--parses HTML. I do this because parsing HTML provides a good pedagogical example. Specifically, it parses form elements in an HTML document. This is a fairly complex task to accomplish, however, using regular expressions makes it simple. We are going to want our parser to be generic enough to parse what will amount to key value pairs in any given input field. For instance, in the HTML:
<input type="text" name="address" size=30 maxlength = "100">
<input name="address" type="text" maxlength="100" size="30">
In the sample application example I build a single string from the HTML input file (we'll read the whole file into a CString variable). While this may cause problems on very large files, for our purposes we'll assume that the file is fairly small. We'll need the whole string in order to match across line barriers--but more on that later.
In the ParseFile method we:
Note: The code snippets in this article contain regular expressions that use escape characters. Because these are C/C++ strings being used, these escape characters have to be escaped twice. That is, the regex whitespace escape character (\s) will actually look like this: \\s. And a quotation mark would look like this: \\\" -- the first escapes the backslash and the second escapes the quotation mark.
BOOL CRegexTestDlg::ParseFile(CString filename)
if (filename.IsEmpty())
return FALSE;
CString finalstring;
CStdioFile htmlfile;
CString inString = "";
CString wholeFileString = "";
std::string wholeFileStr = "";
// Read entire file into a string.
if (htmlfile.Open(filename, CFile::modeRead |
CFile::typeText, NULL))
while (htmlfile.ReadString(inString))
wholeFileString += inString;
catch (CFileException e)
MessageBox("The file " + filename +
" could not be opened for reading",
"File Open Failed",
return FALSE;
// Need to convert string to a STL string for use in RegEx
wholeFileStr = wholeFileString.GetBuffer(10);
// Create our regular expression object
// TRUE means that we want a match to be case-insensitive
boost::RegEx expr("(<\s*(textarea|input|select)\\s*[^>]+>[^<>]*(</(select|textarea)>)?)",
// Create a vector to hold all matches
std::vector<std::string> v;
// Pass the vector and the STL string that hold the file contents
// to the RegEx.Grep method.
expr.Grep(v, wholeFileStr);
// Create char array to hold actual type (e.g. input, select, textarea).
char actualType[100];
// vector v is now full of all matches. We iterate through them.
for(int i = 0; i < v.size(); i++)
// Get the object at the current index and typecast to string
std::string line = (std::string)v[i];
// Get a pointer to the beginning of the character arrray
const char *buf = line.c_str();
// Create some temporary storage variables
char name[100];
char typeName[100];
// Build output string.
finalstring += "input, textarea, select?: ";
GetActualType(buf, actualType);
finalstring += actualType;
finalstring += " -- ";
GetValue("name", buf, name);
finalstring += "name: ";
finalstring += name;
finalstring += " -- ";
finalstring += "input type is: ";
// If it's an input, get the type of input
// (e.g. text, password, checkbox, radio, etc.)
if(_stricmp("input", actualType) == 0)
GetValue("type", buf, typeName);
finalstring += typeName;
// Otherwise, it doesn't apply.
finalstring += "N/A";
finalstring += "\r\n";
// Populate text field with items
return TRUE;
In this method notice specifically the lines:
// Create our regular expression object
boost::RegEx expr("(<\\s*(textarea|input|select)\\s*[^>]+>[^<>]*(</(select|textarea)>)?)",
// Create a vector to hold all matches
std::vector<std::string> v;
// Pass the vector and the STL string that hold the file contents
// to the RegEx.Grep method.
expr.Grep(v, wholeFileStr);
The expr object gets constructed with a pattern. I will break down the pattern as follows:
(<\s* // Match on an open tag "<" and zero or
// more white space characters
(textarea|input|select)\s+[^>]+> // 1. Match on either textarea, input, or select
1 2 3
// 2. look for one or more spaces next
// 3. Match on one or more characters that
// are not a ">" until we find the end ">"
[^<>]* // Match on zero or more characters that are not
// "<" or ">"
(</(select|textarea)>)?) // Match on an end tag "</" and either a select or
// a text area. The question mark means that everything
// inside the quotes is optional(e.g. 0 or 1 occurrences).
Note: In this previous description escape characters are not escaped twice. This is the way the actual regular expression would look if you printed it out.
Just as a reminder the regex operators above mean:
The Grep method takes a reference to the vector created above it. After the Grep call, the vector will contain all matches found. Using Grep() as opposed to Search() (which is another useful method), will allow you to match across line barriers. This is important for a file you read in--especially HTML files that allow for a fairly loose format. For instance this:
<input type="text" name="name">
is the same as this:
<input type="text"
in any web browser. We need to account for this. If you are wondering about case-sensitivity, look at the instantiation of the RegEx object. The second parameter is a boolean. This indicates whether you would like it to be case-insensitive--which we do in the example code.
If you would like further information about the boost Regex++ library API, take a look at:
In the GetActualType method we extract the type of input field we're dealing with on the current line. Remember that in the ParseFile method we made sure that there was at least one input type of some sort, so this line is pretty much guaranteed to have one. Here is the method implementation:
BOOL CRegexTestDlg::GetActualType(const char *line, char *type)
// Create a pattern to look for.
char* pattern = "<\\s*((input|textarea|select))\\s*";
// Create RegEx object with pattern. Should be case-insensitive
RegEx exp(pattern, TRUE);
// Search for the pattern. Use Search, not Grep since we have a single line.
// If found, copy the text of the first expression match to the
// type variable.
strcpy(type, exp[1].c_str());
return TRUE;
// We didn't find anything. Just copy an empty string.
strcpy(type, "");
return FALSE;
Take a look at the pattern itself:
char* pattern = "<\\s*((input|textarea|select))\\s*";
Here we are saying look for an opening brace "<" and possibly some white space. Then look for either "input", "textarea", or "Select". Then there may be some more white space. Notice the two sets of parentheses around input|textarea|select. The inner set of parens tell us that this is a set of possible values. The pipe (|) (a.k.a. "or") here tells us that a match could contain any one of the three values. The outer parens captures what we did find into a special variable. So, if you ran this HTML code through our parser:
<input type= "text" name="email" size="20">
exp[1] would now contain the word "input". If your line had other parens for capturing a part of the match, they would be placed in exp[n] where n is the current set of parens counted left to right, outside to inside.
In the GetValue method we pass in a key to look for and a pointer to the variable we want to populate with the value.
void CRegexTestDlg::GetValue(char *key, const char *str, char *val)
char* tmpStr = "\\s*=\\s*\\\"?([^\"<>]+)\\\"?";
char final[100];
// We need to build the string so we know exactly what we're looking for.
strcpy(final, key);
strcat(final, tmpStr);
// Create the RegEx object with the pattern.
RegEx exp(final);
// Search for the
// If found, copy what we found.
strcpy(val, exp[1].c_str());
// Otherwise copy a string with the no<key> where <key> is the key passed in.
sprintf(val, "no%s", key);
Take a look at this expression:
char* tmpStr = "\\s*=\\s*\\\"?([^\"<>]+)\\\"?";
This is our most complex pattern yet. First we look for some possible whitespace, an equals sign, and some more possible whitespace. Then we're looking for an opening quote. The question mark means 0 or 1 of the previous expression, so if the HTML didn't include an opening quote, we are accounting for that. That is if the line looked like either of the following (notice the quotation marks), it would still find a match:
<input type="text" name="email">
<input type=text name=email>
Next we're looking for any character(s) except a quotation mark ("), an opening brace (<), or a closing brace (>). This is our value. Notice that there are parens around this value because we want to capture that value into our special variable exp[n]. Next we are looking for a closing quotation mark and a possible close quote.
This is the end of our need for regular expressions. We now have the value we were looking for and can format it and output it in the list box. What you do with the values is up to you, but now you have all you need to parse HTML accurately and effectively. The example code may need some tweaking, but in general it gets the job done.
The example application I've included parses an HTML file that contains a form. For convenience sake, I've included an HTML form file in the project. The filename is contact_form.html and it can be found in the root directory of the project. When you run the application, simply click the "Browse..." button and select this file. Then click "Try It!"
While we could have built our parser using strtok or other tokenizers, these are not completely ideal for HTML since HTML can be so free form (e.g. a space here, quotes there, but not there, line wrap, etc.). Regular expressions are perfectly suited for just this sort of text parsing.
Regex++ is a very robust regular expression library that you will find very useful in your applications. Take a look at the example project and familiarize yourself with regular expression syntax. This will give you the ability to create powerful text parsers with minimal coding and will enable you to "master your data".

Roger Magnusson, Lawrence O. Gostin, and David Studdert recently posted their paper, "Can Law Improve Prevention and Treatment of Cancer?" on SSRN:
The December 2011 issue of Public Health (the Journal of the Royal Society for Public Health) contains a symposium entitled: Legislate, Regulate, Litigate? Legal approaches to the prevention and treatment of cancer. This symposium explores the possibilities for using law and regulation – both internationally and at the national level – as the policy instrument for preventing and improving the treatment of cancer and other leading non-communicable diseases (NCDs). In this editorial, we argue that there is an urgent need for more legal scholarship on cancer and other leading NCDs, as well as greater dialogue between lawyers, public health practitioners and policy-makers about priorities for law reform, and feasible legal strategies for reducing the prevalence of leading risk factors. The editorial discusses two important challenges that frequently stand in the way of a more effective use of law in this area. The first is the tendency to dismiss risk factors for NCDs as purely a matter of individual 'personal responsibility'; the second is the fact that effective regulatory responses to risks for cancer and NCDs will in many cases provoke conflict with the tobacco, alcohol and food industries. After briefly identifying some of the strategies that law can deploy in the prevention of NCDs, we briefly introduce each of the ten papers that make up the symposium.

For those saying the Nats need a new Bullpen, help has arrived.
Help drowning your sorrows, that is…
At 5:00pm Friday, two hours before the Washington Nationals take on the Philadelphia Phillies, The Bullpen will open its doors to the public, with food, drinks, and live music just outside the centerfield gates of Nationals Park. After a series of delays and rounds of approval by neighborhood groups and DC commissions, this marks an important milestone in the development of the Half Street neighborhood.
The Bullpen is on Half Street between M and N streets, between the Metro station and the stadium. Opening Friday will be a beer garden, local food vendors including Rocklands and Surfside, and interactive sports games for children. The bullpen will be open two hours before and after Washington Nationals home games.


text:
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has admitted that the National Security Agency should have disclosed more about the bulk data collection that it has engaged in for more than a decade. He made the surprising statements in an interview with The Daily Beast.
The bulk data program is designed to collect certain information on all US phone calls, although there have been recent disagreements about how much cell phone data is swept up. In the interview, Clapper said the controversy could have been avoided if more information about the program was disclosed at its outset, back in 2001. He suggests the public, still shaken from the 9/11 attacks, would have been on board with such a program. Clapper said:
I probably shouldn't say this, but I will. Had we been transparent about this from the outset right after 9/11—which is the genesis of the 215 program—and said both to the American people and to their elected representatives, we need to cover this gap, we need to make sure this never happens to us again, so here is what we are going to set up, here is how it's going to work, and why we have to do it, and here are the safeguards… We wouldn't have had the problem we had.
What did us in here, what worked against us was this shocking revelation. I don't think it would be of any greater concern to most Americans than fingerprints. Well people kind of accept that because they know about it. But had we been transparent about it and say here's one more thing we have to do as citizens for the common good, just like we have to go to airports two hours early and take our shoes off, all the other things we do for the common good, this is one more thing.
Since the NSA leaks began, Clapper has become one of the most controversial figures in US intelligence. Last month, several members of Congress said that President Obama should fire Clapper. It was Clapper who was asked by Senator Ron Wyden last year, before the Snowden leaks, whether the NSA gathered "any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?" Clapper responded: "Not wittingly."
Clapper addressed that statement in the interview, saying he misunderstood Wyden's question. He believed Wyden was referring to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which the NSA treats as the basis for PRISM and other data-collection programs.
"I was not even thinking of what he was asking about, which is, of course, we now all know as section 215 of the Patriot Act governing the acquisition and storage of telephony business records metadata," Clapper told The Daily Beast. "Wasn't even thinking of that."
He also reiterated his position that the bulk data collection should continue, comparing it to a kind of "fire insurance."
"For me it was not some massive assault on civil liberties and privacy because of what we actually do and the safeguards that are put on this," said Clapper. "To guard against perhaps, these days, low probability but a very (high) impact thing if it happens. I buy fire insurance ever since I retired, the wife and I bought a house out here and we buy fire insurance every year. Never had a fire. But I am not gonna quit buying my fire insurance; same kind of thing."
