| The doubting He would infuse with faith and courage to believe. |
| He would recognize and honor honesty, humility, integrity, faithfulness, compassion, and charity. |
| To you, my dear brothers and sisters, my dear friends, and to all who are searching for answers, truth, and happiness, I do offer the same counsel: keep searching with faith and patience. |

Controversial Pakistani Singer Rabi Pirzada Announces ‘New Beginning’ After Quitting Showbiz Over X-Rated Video Scandal
New Delhi (Sputnik): The singer, who attacked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Kashmir issue, announced that she was done with show business after her leaked private pictures went viral.
Controversial Pakistani singer Rabi Pirazada on Monday shared pictures of “self-drawn sketches” of the Mecca Madina, the Muslim pilgrimage centre in Saudi Arabia, in an apparent attempt to atone for her sins #savesoul.
The Twitterati appeared to empathise with the 30-year-old-singer and encouraged her efforts. While some lauded her decision to quit showbiz, others asked her not to lose hope.
On 4 November, Rabi Pirzada started trending on twitter after her explicit pictures leaked online. However, the images were soon taken down. Rabi took to Twitter to apologise, then announced her exit from show business and sought God’s forgiveness for her “sins”.
“I, Rabi Pirzada am quitting showbiz. May Allah forgive my sins. And soften the hearts of people in my favour,” read her tweet in Urdu.
Earlier, the singer criticised India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Kashmir, threatening him with lions.
Job accomplished wildlife lahore 😡 but listen, i ll keep threatening modi n now with lions, keep burning... pic.twitter.com/NFvrCTyMjn

Evo Morales Vows to Stay in Politics, Hints at Assassination Plot Against Him
The ousted Bolivian president said that Mexico essentially saved his life, revealing that both his and his sisters' houses in Bolivia got ransacked.
Evo Morales, the now-ousted President of Bolivia, has reached Mexico where he was granted political asylum, with Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard welcoming him upon arrival.
The former Bolivian head of state reached Mexico aboard a Mexican Air Force airplane which flew him from the town of Chimore where he initially retreated after his ouster.
Commenting on the current situation, Morales said that Mexico saved his life by providing him refuge, claiming that he was a target of an assassination plot and revealing that both his and his sisters' houses in Bolivia got ransacked.
Morales also mentioned that he has no intent to abandon politics.
Meanwhile, Bolivian indigenous people who support Morales staged a rally in the country's capital of La Paz, in front of the National Congress at Plaza Murillo.
On 10 November, Bolivian President Evo Morales resigned after the national armed forces sided with demonstrators who opposed his serving a fourth term. The protests erupted after international observers found "grave irregularities" in the 20 October election.
Shortly afterwards, Morales fled the country for Mexico, where he was granted political asylum, due to apparent concerns for his safety.
His flight was fraught with complications as the plane he was traveling aboard was denied permission to fuel in Peru, making a stop in Paraguay instead.
Several countries, including Argentina, Venezuela, Cuba, and Mexico described the events in Bolivia as a coup.
Mexico's foreign minister also refused to reveal the names of any Bolivian officials and lawmakers who may have requested asylum, citing the threat they could face.

OUTBREAK A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1995 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): ***
OUTBREAK is a detective story and a thriller about a germ. It was produced and directed by Wolfgang Petersen of DAS BOOT and IN THE LINE OF FIRE fame. This is a director who knows how to create great tension that really grabs the audience's attention and holds it through out the entire movie. He is also a master at action sequences and the military helicopter scenes in this flick were evidence of his abilities as well as that of the cinematographer.
OUTBREAK starts in a remote village in Zaire. From the very beginning of the show we know that there is a virus of cataclysmic proportions. It works so fast that if you are not dead in twenty-four hours after being exposed, you are safe.  Go to the bathroom before entering, you don't want to miss any of the details. It is complex and yet quite easy to follow.
The germ detective work had much the flavor of the movie AND THE BAND PLAYED ON about the hunt for the source of the AIDS illness. OUTBREAK at its best was almost as good. Petersen is a master director.
After seeing this movie, I should warn you that you may never want to fly in airplanes again. You certainly will find yourself leaving any theater where someone coughs.
Sad to say, we also learn from the beginning that there is a subplot in the show that is going to have us believe that our military has some covert operations of massively evil proportions going on. Without this ridiculous and unnecessary sojourn into again lambasting our own generals, the movie had a perfectly plausible ring to it.
The acting was uneven. Dustin Hoffman, whom I have not seen in many movies recently, stars as the military chief of biological research. His research was on finding the causes of and curing viral infections--not on developing killer germs. Hoffman delivers star quality work. He is totally believable and never goes overboard with his acing which he has been known to do in other films.
Also excellent in the show was Hoffman's sidekick played by Cuba Gooding Jr. He played the aggressive green recruit character in fresh and interesting ways. He enliven every scene he was in.
Rene Russo who was so excellent in Petersen's last show, IN THE LINE OF FIRE, was given a poorly written part as Hoffman's domestic counterpart--the head of germ research at the CDC. She was also his ex-wife. (Believably, having an ex-wife as beautiful as Russo, Hoffman spent most of the movie trying to get her back.) Russo's acting was not credible and moreover, I would just as soon have seen her whole part eliminated. The germ research had the energy to stand on its own and did not need a romantic second subplot to add excitement to the movie.
Another tragedy of the film was the wasting of Morgan Freeman as Hoffman's commanding general. This was the weakest character Freeman has ever been asked to play--very one dimensional. This brilliant actor (GLORY, DRIVING MISS DAISY, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, etc.) did not seem to care about the show and gave a pedestrian performance. Finally, the less said about Donald Sutherland's part as the Major General who was Freeman's boss, the better. Both characters were cliches that should not have been in a movie of this caliber.
OUTBREAK runs an exciting 2:00. It is rated R for bleeding eyeballs and other makeup effects that you see on Halloween masks. There was a 10 year old behind me that loved the movie. I recommend this tension filled detective story to everyone above the age of about 9, and I award it ***. Absent the unnecessary diabolical military subplot, I would have been able to give the movie another half star.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

Getting Help
Troubleshooting
The Ptolemy II Troubleshooting Guide
has hints about solving problems.
Ptolemy Mailing Lists
The Ptolemy mailing lists are run by the Majordomo mailing list
server. This server can automatically subscribe you to mailing
lists and it can send you monthly archive files for each of the
lists. To find out more about our Majordomo sever, send an email
letter to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with the word "help"
in the body of the letter.
Ptolemy Interest Mailing list
This moderated mailing list is for Ptolemy announcements only. Thus,
you cannot post to this group. The amount of mail here is kept very
light (a few messages a year).
To subscribe to the ptolemy-interest mailing list, send mail to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with the word subscribe
in the body (not the subject) of the letter.
All mail to ptolemy-interest also goes to ptolemy-hackers, so if you
subscribe to ptolemy-hackers, there is no need to subscribe to
ptolemy-interest too.
Ptolemy Hackers Mailing list
This is a discussion list for Ptolemy questions, bug reports, and to
share Ptolemy additions and applications. Since this is a discussion
group, mail volume can sometimes be heavy. All mail sent to Ptolemy-
hackers is automatically cross posted to the
comp.soft-sys.ptolemy
newsgroup.
To subscribe to the ptolemy-hackers mailing list, send mail to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with the word subscribe
in the body of the letter.
To stop receiving email from the mailing list, put
the word unsubscribe
the body of your message.
The ptII account
Ptolemy is distributed without support or warranty. However, if you
really need to contact a human being with a Ptolemy II question, you can
send email to:
ptII at eecs berkeley edu
comp.soft-sys.ptolemy
Just like the ptolemy-hackers mailing list, the
comp.soft-sys.ptolemy
newsgroup is a forum of the discussion of Ptolemy questions, bug
reports, additions, and applications. Note that all mail sent to the
ptolemy-hackers mailing list is automatically posted to the
comp.soft-sys.ptolemy newsgroup as well.
The name is chosen to correspond to similar newsgroups for the Khoros
and Matlab systems, which are also under comp.soft-sys.

Welcome to VolSched, the online solution for volunteer scheduling.
Finding and keeping track of volunteers is an integral part of organizing any event. VolSched makes this task a bit easier. Create an event, add jobs that need doing, add shifts for which volunteers can sign up, and give the handy URL to potential volunteers. They can decide what they want to help with and when they want to help, and you can see who has signed up. You even get the option of making your event findable to people without the URL, so you can recruit volunteers using VolSched itself. Your volunteers only need to enter their contact information once to volunteer for all the events you (and others using VolSched) hold.
Best of all, VolSched is entirely free to use. Sign up for an account and get started today!
This page displays a summary of your events and shifts, if you have any.

The Imposters
Comedy is the most volatile topic to write about. There have been innumerable instances where I laughed wholeheartedly at a film, only to stare blankly at a second viewing. I don't know the criteria for making comedy "timeless", and very few comedies make me laugh over repeated viewings.
That said, _The Impostors_ made me laugh a whole lot. It is light, whimsical entertainment--a throw-back to the silent comedies of Keaton and Chaplin. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's a relief. It's about two unemployed actors who find themselves in crazy circumstances beyond their control.
Stanley Tucci and Oliver Platt (his credits are erratic--from Flatliners & The Three Musketeers to Bulworth and Simon Birch) play their own rendition of Laurel and Hardy, unemployed actors who, in running from Jeremy Burtom, an irate established actor (Alfred Molina--Boogie Nights) hide in a crate, only to find themselves as stowaways on that very same ship that Burtom is on. Ha ha.
Afterwards there are deceptions, takeover plots, mistaken identities, cross-dressings, broken hearts, and the worst subtitles joke I+ve seen since _Monty Python and the Holy Grail_. It+s so bad, that you can+t help but laugh at the inanity of it all.
The great cast includes Lily Taylor (Ransom), Billy Connolly (Mrs. Brown), Steve Buscemi (Fargo), Hope Davis (Next Stop Wonderland), Campbell Scott (The Spanish Prisoner) and Isabella Rossellini (Big Night). They are all given roles that best exploits (or drastically alters) their standard screen personas.
Granted, ensemble casts don't mean as much as they used to. (Take a "Cannonball Run" film, or a Leslie Nielson film, and count the recognizable actors with the "doin' this for a paycheck" mentality). Here, however, it appears that the cast is game. The atmosphere is contagious. The actors are having fun. We have fun too.
_The Imposters_ was produced, directed, and written by Tucci, who enthralled moviegoers with _Big Night_ two years ago. I felt _BN_ was overrated, but I liked _The Impostors_ a good deal more. Tucci has crafted a very light, very funny comedy that works in its own right.

Roland U-20 / U-220
Timbre Patch Editor
This patch editor ought to work properly with both the U-20 and the U-220. However it has only been tested with the U-220. Please let me know of any discrepancies you discover.
Communicating with Edisyn
Set Edisyn's MIDI channel to the same as your desired part's Channel (typically 1...6). Set Edisyn's Synth ID to the same as the Roland Device ID (typically 17). Set the unit's Part Change to "On" or "Dir". On the U-220, set the Timbre Change, Rhythm Change, and Rhythm Ins. Assign all to "Dir". Turn on Sysex receive.
About the Menu
Edisyn's MIDI channel is set to the Control Channel of your part so Edisyn can change timbres and play sounds on it. You can however send to the timbre of any part by setting the Part number in the menu: and in fact you need to have this set up as well. By default, you'd send to Part 1.
You can set up your synthesizer's Multimode patch to nicely audition Part 1 by selecting "Set up Test Patch for Part 1 Only". This sets Part 1 to be on Channel 1, with all voices, and shuts off all other parts and the rhythm channel. Alternatively you can set up each Part to be on the same numbered channel (Part 2 is channel 2, etc.), and the Rhythm part to be Channel 10, and distribute voices among all of them, by selecting "Set Up Test Patch for All Parts".
You can also call up the current Multimode patch with "Show Current Patch".
Gotchas
- Bulk downloads from the U-220 will not be understood by Edisyn. Here's why. Roland breaks its patch sysex into multiple messages, each 138 bytes long. But Roland stupidly made it very difficult to distinguish between sysex for a single patch and sysex for a message that's part of a bulk dump of patches. Edisyn must assume that the sysex is for a single patch. However while Edisyn can't figure out bulk downloads sent from the synthesizer, it can figure out bulk files loaded from disk (because it gets all of them at once and realizes what's happening).
- No, honestly, positive values mean shorter attack, decay, and release, and negative values mean longer ones. Yes, this makes no sense at all. Also making no sense: sustain going -7 to +7 instead of just 0 to 14.
- If you are presently editing a timbre patch, the U-220 refuses to change patches, so Edisyn can load a new one but it can't get the U-220 to switch to it. Thus Edisyn is forced to send the patch back to the U-220 to change its parameters. This means that loading a patch will tak
e twice as long as it needs to.
Thanks
Thanks to Keith<EMAIL_ADDRESS>for his extraordinary service in loaning stuff, providing materials, and debugging. If you are a U-220 owner, llamamusic.com is a fantastic resource.

FROM MR FRED KUMA. REPUBLIC OF BENIN. WEST AFRICA. TEL:229 08 69 05. Dear Friend, I am MR FRED KUMA, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Continental Trust Bank cotonou republic of benin in west Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction . During our investigation and auditing in this bank,my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died in a plane crash on the 26th December 1998 on airline transafrik International with aircraft Lockheed L-100-30 at location Vila Nova,Angola with registration number S9-CAO and since his untimely death the funds has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development. Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was US$24.1M (Twenty Four million One Hundred Thousand united states dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through my a friends who works with the Ministry of Information here in Cotonou-Benin. It is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased,get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit yourself to this great business opportunity. In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designated bank account. May I at this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free as I have made arrangements for a successful arrangement as an insider of the bank before contacting you. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have been adviced to keep this a top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary information will be sent to you on your acceptance to champion this transaction with me. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible on my personal mobile phone 229 08 69 05 stating your wish in this deal. Yours faithfully, DR FRED KUMA TEL:229 08 69 05.

Rotting carcasses in Saudi Arabia
Arab News | Submitted by: Munkustrap
"The enormity of the number of cattle sacrificed every year is mindboggling, and the dynamics of their orderly disposal are a nightmare to any civic body... This Haj season, pilgrims sacrificed more than 670,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and cows, resulting in 10,000 tons in remains. Some 4,000 tons were recycled to make oils and fertilizers, while the remaining 6,000 tons was left to be destroyed."

Don't mention the Pigs...
BBC | Submitted by: Tobermory
"A West Yorkshire head teacher has banned books containing stories about pigs from the classroom in case they offend Muslim children... Mrs Harris said in a statement: 'Recently I have been aware of an occasion where young Muslim children in class were read stories about pigs. We try to be sensitive to the fact that for Muslims talk of pigs is offensive.'" To which one po-faced BBC hack added: "Muslim leaders say there is no objection to children looking at pictures of pigs."

A criminal investigation is now under way into the deaths which have both been classified as homicides... Former prisoners at the base claim that detainees are chained to the ceiling, shackled so tightly that the blood flow stops, kept naked and hooded and kicked to keep them awake for days on end."

Al-Jazeera is struggling. WTF?
Guardian | Submitted by: Ann Onymous
"The lengths some authorities go to in order to hit back are astonishing. In Egypt, they once dragged Qassem's brother, a pop star, out of his home in his pyjamas and bundled him on a plane to Jordan... "In Algiers," Qassem says, "they cut off the electricity supply so that people could not watch the programme because we were talking about the military generals and how they are wasting the money of Algerians."

Veterans statue "too dykey"

"Some state lawmakers and veterans say a statue honoring West Virginia's female veterans is not feminine enough. The statue, designed by sculptor Joseph Mullins, depicts a muscular woman wearing a casual uniform of pants and a T-shirt. It will be placed on the Capitol grounds when completed." Shouldn't a statue to female veterans be dykey?

Big surprise: no freedom for Sirhan Sirhan. "His mental skills, his ability to cope in prison seem to be eroding... He seems to be far more angry and agitated than he has been in years past." His sentence was commuted in 1972, and the parole hearings are a formality. Nobody expects him to be released.

State orders increase in prom chaperones
CNN | Submitted by: xdfgf
"A new state law requires a tenfold increase in the number of school chaperones at dances booked at hotels, banquet halls or other places where liquor is sold. It requires one adult at least 25 years old for every five students." We call those events bridge tournaments. Changes like this cause unauthorized proms to take their place, and the school left out of the loop.

Pentagon uses psychics
Pravda | Submitted by: xdfgf
We want Pravda's drugs: "God knows for how much time they have been in the way of intelligence officers at the Fort Meade base in Maryland." Masters of "occult science" must help the CIA and the Pentagon determine places where captured hostages are kept, where headquarters and armament storehouses of international terrorist organizations are situated; they must also distantly influence upon conduct of leaders of these groups and upon decisions they take; these people also train telepathic sharpshooters and do other work of this kind. This is a national program code named Jedi."

OWASP A9
Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities
Created by James Forster -
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Contents
What is it?
Solution
Examples
What is it?
Usage of third-party libraries, commercial and open-source, has increased in applications over time.
Even the most utilised and trusted components can contain vulnerabilities that compromise their security.
Using these libraries introduces their security flaws into the application using them (obviously).
Impact
Having multiple dependancies on libaries with security flaws can lead to a compounded impact on the application.
It was estimated that 26% of all downloads from the 'central' repository contained a vulnerability.
More information on it's prevalence can be found
here
.
Exploits
3rd party libraries are often open source, making the finding security flaws in them easier than a hidden application.
They are also used by multiple applications making the flaw exploitable in multiple attacks.
Updates and fixes
Currently when a security flaw in a 3rd party library is discovered it is patched relatively quickly.
The flaw is documented, but no reporting service exists for all people using the libary to update their dependancies.
Projects can therefore be using out of date insecure libraries.
Undiscovered vulnerabilities
Libaries that have vulunerabilities in them that have yet to be discovered are tricky.
Fixing these relies on someone reporting them or QA finding it, or an attack happens that brings the flaw to their attention.
Solution!
There are very few ways to prevent utilisation of vulnerable third party software; short of never using any third party dependancies at all.
Following the four simple steps outlined below allows at least an extra degree of control and security.
Additionally GDS guidelines on third party libraries can be found
here
.
Inventory
Look up known faults and vulnerabilities for the version you use as well as how out of date it is.
Remember to check the dependancies of your dependancies.
Analyze
Always check the status of your build when you update to a newer version of a library.
Check reviews, process, licenses and other aspects of the library project.
Control
Set standards such as only having authorised libraries and dependancies in projects.
Use developer discretion!
Monitor
Keep a constant track of the known vunerabilities in a library and try to use the most up to date.
Having to alter your code to take into account of an update is no excuse not to do so.
Tools
There are some automated tools that can keep you informed of the latest news and versions of dependancies.
While these are useful and can be a time-saver, they are no substitute for performing the checks yourself.
Tools (cont.)
SBT can be used to keep dependancies up to date by using 'latest-integration' in place of the version number.
OWASP's Dependency Check is a tool that examines dependancies for any publically reported vulnerabilities for java libraries.
Sonatype's CLM is an automatic tool designed to manage dependancies throughout the development lifecycle.
"Bobby" is an in house tool created to perform a similar function as Dependancy Check for scala libraries.
Examples
What will follow are two famous examples of third party libraries introducing vulnerabilities.
There are typically no reports on more recent cases until the problem has been fixed to avoid more people attempting to exploit it.
Spring MVC (2013)
Using an HTML request the intruder could directly inject code and execute it server side, potentially even taking control of the server.
This was a previously fixed issue that re-emerged due to the discovery of additional issues relating to the flaw.
At the time an estimated 1.3 million instances of the flawed component had been downloaded.
Apache CXF (2012)
The vulnerability occurred whenever a user submitted a request without providing any identity token.
This allowed any web service to be executed with full permission without authentication.
This was also the second emergence of the issue with a prior occurance of a similar fault in 2010.
An estimated 4.2 million downloads of the framework occurred within a 12 month period in 2013 (before the problem was patched).
