The Central Valley ChiliPeppers and the Santa Clara Sporting '94 Boys led the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 CYSA North vs. South Championships.
The Santa Clara Sporting Team '94 Boys, '93 Girls Green, '93 Boys, and '92 Boys teams competed last weekend at the CYSA North vs. South Tournament held in Elk Grove near Sacramento. The CYSA North vs. South Tournament brings together the top-2 teams from the U15-U19 State Premier Division in the CCSL (Northern California) and the Coast Soccer League (Southern California) to compete for the California title. Both the Coast Soccer League and the CCSL provide a state wide soccer league that allow the best teams to compete in the State Premier Divisions across district borders.
All four Santa Clara Sporting teams qualified to compete in the North vs. South Tournament after finishing 1st or 2nd in their age group in the State Premier Division of the new CYSA Cal-Soccer League. In fact, 4 of the 10 teams from Cal-North were from Santa Clara Sporting.
The '92 Boys (U18) won the Fall Season, while the '93 Boys (U17) actually played-up all in the U18 group and finished 2nd overall. The '93 Girls (U17) and the '94 Boys (U16) both finished second overall in the State Premier League, and all four teams represented Northern California in the 9th Annual CYSA North vs. South Tournament.

Santa Clara Sporting '93 Girls Green Team
The '93 Girls were Finalists at the North vs. South Tournament behind the Slammers Team from SoCal in the U17 Girls Division. The Sporting girls tied Slammers 1-1 in their first game on Saturday, then won their second game 2-0 over the LA Legends FC Team from SoCal. The win and tie on Saturday pushed the team into the Championship game on Sunday, which became a rematch with the Slammers Team. Santa Clara and Slammers fought a tough battle on Sunday in the championship game, but the SoCal Team was just too strong and won the game 3-0 over Sporting. It was a good showing by the Sporting '93 Girls who continue to show why they are one of the top teams in their age group. More action photos from Bob Empasis
Santa Clara Sporting '92 Boys Team
The '92 Boys finished the North vs. South Tournament in 3rd place overall. The '92s and the '93 Boys Team both represented Cal-North in the tournament, and battled the LA Legends and the United FC Black Teams in the Boys U19 Age Group. The Sporting '92s finished the weekend with two draws; a 0-0 tie against eventual tournament winners United FC Black, and a 3-3 tie against the LA Legends.
Santa Clara Sporting '93 Boys Team
The '93 Boys held their own playing-up a year, and finished the tournament with a 1-1 tie against United FC Black, and a 0-1 loss to LA Legends. Both games were closely fought at an incredibly fast pace.
Santa Clara Sporting '93 Boys Team
The '94 Boys were Finalists in the U16 age group. They won their first game 2-1 over the South Bay Force Team, then tied Arsenal FC 3-3 in a dramatic and fierce come-from-behind battle. The win and tie on Saturday placed the Sporting 94s on top of the bracket, and gave them a berth to play for the championship title against South Bay Force again. In the Championship match, South Bay Force scored 2 goals in the first half to lead the game at half-time. Sporting found their first goal about 15 minutes into the second half, then equalized the game with a second goal minutes later. But South Bay Force responded quickly after Santa Clara scored to take the lead again 3-2, and eventually scored a forth goal to secure the game when Sporting kept pushing numbers forward to try and tie the game a second time.
It was a great showing by Santa Clara Sporting. Congratulations to all the teams!

|Means to an end
|Patience a virtue for JCSU's Randolph
|Published Thursday, August 29, 2013 8:12 am
Chris Randolph's no longer an understudy.
|Johnson C. Smith defensive end Chris Randolph is ready to take on an expanded role after backing up all-CIAA pick Derrick Johnson for three seasons.
The Johnson C. Smith defensive end is now a starter after the graduation of Derrick Johnson, an all-CIAA pick who tallied 19 sacks over the last two seasons.
Randolph, who had 1.5 sacks during that span, spent the offseason training at an Atlanta-area sports performance facility to seize the opportunity at hand.
"I know I've got some pretty big shoes to fill," said Randolph, a 6-foot-1, 260 pound senior who is physically similar to Johnson. "The year before I got here, Deuce was all-CIAA, he had about 11 sacks for the season, but the training I received this summer … helped me elevate my game a little bit. I feel as if I'm ready for the season."
Randolph, who transferred to JCSU from Chattahoochee (Ga.) Tech in 2011, arrived as a project but gradually earned playing time.
As a sophomore, he appeared in three games and recorded six tackles. Last year, Randolph improved to nine games with 21 tackles (4.5 for loss) and earned his first sack in a Week 8 win at Fayetteville State. He was credited with a half-sack the following week in a win against St. Augustine's.
"He's definitely a speed rusher but he has great power with his hands and feet," Golden Bulls coach Steve Aycock said. "He's definitely one of those guys we can count on to do both well – play run and pass."
Randolph will be counted on to provide a presence for JCSU, which produced 27 sacks during last year's 6-4 campaign. Aycock praised Randolph's offseason work for producing positive results in preseason drills.
"I think he's doing better this year technique-wise," Aycock said. "He's one of those guys who can give a tackle hell week in and week out. He's always had great get-off and been a strong young man but wasn't always using his technique his first couple of years. This year during this camp he's showed a lot of great technique and been solid on what he's been taught."
Randolph is eager to put those attributes when JCSU opens the season Sept. 7 against Livingstone. While he's not drawing comparisons to Johnson, Randolph is excited to take on an expanded role.
"I see myself as a balanced defensive player being able to stop the pass and the run," Randolph said. "Our coaches, the way they have the scheme drawn up for the defensive linemen have us dropping back in coverage (with) the tight end or going against a running back in one-on-one situations, so I feel as if I'm prepared for that, also."
But defensive linemen like statistics, too, and Randolph is looking to improve on last year's modest totals. He'll get plenty of opportunities in new defensive coordinator James Lott's scheme.
"I have goals this year," he said, "like sacks. I'm looking to be in double-digits."
If Randolph can play up to his personal expectations, perhaps he can earn postseason accolades. Aycock believes he's capable of producing.
"I think that's something he's going to have to see, that he has the possibility to be an all-conference guy this year," Aycock said. "But he has the tangibles and everything that he's being taught he's putting it into play."

The Houstralian Austro
Hey, pitchers and catchers report in just about 10 days. Excellent!
But its been a slow month for baseball. So slow, in fact, that I recently saw an article "reporting" that Derek Jeter was hitting in a batting cage with his team's hitting coach. Wow, that's shocking "news"!
To fill a tiny little part of the pre-spring training baseball void, I thought I'd share a picture of Ryan Rowland-Smith that I just slapped together:
For some reason, I was recently thinking about the Australian flag, which of course features six stars. Before long, I figured I should replace those stars with the Houston Astros' star logo in honor of C&S Hall of Famer and new Astro, Ryan Rowland-Smith.
After combining the Australian flag and the Astros' logo, it was only logical to go the extra step and create a nickname for RRS with another Australia-Houston Astros smash up. So, I came up with "The Houstralian." Of course, "Australia" also blends nicely with "Astros" — so I modified RRS's jersey to read "Austros." (I also modified it by adding the "18" from my RRS Mariners jersey).
So there you go MLB play-by-play announcers and color commentators, feel free to start tossing around "Ryan 'The Houstralian' Rowland-Smith" or the more formal "Ryan 'The Houstralian Austro' Rowland-Smith" while commentating.
Is its baseball season yet?

The Southern-fried supernatural romance "Beautiful Creatures" beams with the sort of genteel tweener appeal that neither the "Twilight" saga nor "The Hunger Games" quite achieves.
There's almost a sweetness -- at least a Tim Burtonesque sweetness -- in how writer/director Richard LaGravenese spins the obligatory elements of teen rebellion and romantic destiny wishfulness into an amusing tale of true love between a mortal guy and a more-than-mortal young witch.
"Beautiful Creatures"★ ★
Starring: Alden Ehrenreich, Alice Englert, Viola Davis, Jeremy Irons, Emmy Rossum, Emma Thompson
Directed by: Richard LaGravenese
Other: A Warner Bros. release. Rated PG-13 for sexual situations, violence. 118 minutes
It's a tweener version of "Bewitched" with southern accents.
Reportedly, LaGravenese ditched most of the original source material from the popular quartet of books written by Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia. (I have not read them.) That enabled him to rebuild the story as a cinematic experience freed from the restrictions to stick to established prose.
One of the irksome elements LaGravenese apparently retains is the first-person narration by an intellectually charged high school lad named Ethan Wate (played with corn pone charm by Alden Ehrenreich).
He confesses to us how he hates living in the small town of Gatlin. South Carolina, grouses against the smallness of his life, and, oh yes, mentions how obsessed he has become with the beguiling mystery girl he keeps meeting in his dreams.
(It only takes LaGravenese 29 minutes to abandon the first-person narrative the moment he's forced to tell us about events Ethan couldn't possibly know about.)
One day at school, a new girl comes to class. Oh, no! It's Ethan's literal dream girl,
She's 15-year-old Lena Duchannes (Alice Englert, daughter of iconic Australian filmmaker Jane Campion).
In short order, Ethan learns that Lena is a witch, or to be PC about it, a "caster."
As it turns out, when caster girls turn sweet 16, a ritual called the claiming will determine if they turn to the light side of the force or the dark. (They don't actually call it "the force," but what's the difference?)
Lena worries that she might be destined for darkness, away from her new friend Ethan. She has good reason to fret.
Her dark cousin Ridley (superb "Shameless" star Emmy Rossum) shows up in a slightly ostentatious sports car and outrageous attire, exuding PG-13 level sexuality out of every caster's pore in her skin. She's not a good person, as we see when she lures a local boy to his death on the train tracks with her feminine distractions.
Ridley's not the only bad advertisement for the dark side. Guess who else shows up in Gatlin?
Lena's shapeshifting mommy Sarafine (Brit Emma Thompson, chewing the Southern scenery with delectable relish as she bounces from a quiet Southern belle to an undead wrathful spirit). She wants to draft Lena for the dark team.
Lena's 16th birthday has long been a source of dread for her guardian, Macon Ravenwood (Brit Jeremy Irons, the pinnacle of Southern hospitality and genteel manners), who does what he can to protect her.
Nothing in "Beautiful Creatures" is particularly fresh or inventive. (Although Lena conjuring up some Southern snow for a date with Ethan is a nice touch.)
It almost resembles a made-for-TV movie with easy-to-grasp, not terribly deep characters and its direct story, albeit one captured in Philippe Rousselot's stunningly composed and lighted widescreen images.
The best part of "Beautiful Creatures" is how LaGravenese takes bold potshots at book banning and Bible-thumping while keeping the issues subtle and well under the supernatural radar.
Ethan and Lena name-drop and reference novelists Kurt Vonnegut and Charles Bukowski the way normal teens might mention Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian.
No word on if they've gone dark.

Former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola seems to have turned up the heat on Roberto Mancini after he opened doors for a possible summer switch to Manchester City.
Representatives of the former Barcelona coach, who returned to the soccer scene after a long self-imposed exile, have admitted the English champions are one of the clubs the ex-Spain international would consider.
"The doors are open for them, just like they are open for Manchester City, Chelsea and so on. Pep will listen to offers and then he will evaluate them," The Sun quoted Guardiola's agent Jose Maria Orobitg, as saying.
"But so far we haven't talked about Milan because Guardiola won't be coaching until next season," he added.
A move to the Etihad for Guradiola has become a more viable option with his old Nou Camp bosses Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain now in positions of power at City, the paper said.
However, sources at City have indicated that Mancini's job is not under any immediate threat despite their disappointing showing in the Champions League, it added. (ANI)

Tama County farmers are reminded that in order to receive payments from USDA, compliance with Highly Erodible Land Conservation (HELC) and Wetland Conservation
(WC) provisions are required. "As spring field work commences, farmers should remember that some activities could jeopardize the eligibility for benefits now or in the future," said Anna Boecker, County Executive Director for the Tama County FSA Office. "Activities such as breaking out new land, clearing trees or other similar activities to bring land into crop production, including what was Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acreage should be reviewed first."
Farmers with highly erodible soils (HEL determined soils) are reminded to follow tillage, crop residue, and rotation requirements as specified in their conservation plans or following an acceptable conservation system. Producers should notify FSA prior to conducting land clearing or drainage projects to ensure compliance.
Landowners and operators can complete form AD-1026 Highly Erodible Land Conservation (HELC) and Wetland Conservation (WC) Certification to determine whether a referral to Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is necessary.
Persons who produce an agricultural commodity on a field(s) where highly erodible land is predominate, are eligible for benefits under the Highly Erodible Land Conservation (HELC) provisions unless it has been determined by NRCS that an acceptable conservation system is not being actively applied. This conservation system must be adequate for highly erodible land. Under the Wetland Conservation (WC) Provisions, persons are ineligible for benefits if they: plant anagricultural commodity on a wetland that was converted after December 23, 1985 or if they convert a wetland after November 28, 1990, by draining dredging, filling, leveling or any other means for the purpose, or to have the effect, of making the production of an agricultural commodity possible.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 20, 2013
Applied Rigaku Technologies, Inc. today announced a new empirical method for the elemental analysis and measurement of iron (Fe) in mining materials.
Elemental analysis is essential in screening samples at mine sites and throughout the processing of ores, ensuring proper extraction and process control. Major and minor elements are also closely monitored in the ore, concentrates, slags and tails during smelting.
Rigaku EDXRF Application Note #1286 demonstrates the effectiveness of low cost energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis for elemental analysis of metals in ore samples. The new method demonstrates the capabilities of the Rigaku NEX QC EDXRF elemental analyzer in meeting industry demands for a fast and simple technique suitable for measurement along the entire processing line. The report provides details of sample preparation, calibration and repeatability.
For the analysis described in the report, material was ground and dried to a homogeneous powder, which was then prepared by filling a standard 32 mm XRF measurement cell and compacting with a manual sample press. Analysis was carried out using the NEX QC EDXRF analyzer, which utilizes 50 kV direct excitation and a high performance semiconductor detector to provide enhanced sensitivity in a low cost tool ideal for the analysis of ore materials. The NEX QC analyzer is designed to be easily transportable for mine site screening, rugged enough for the smelting operations, and powerful enough for work in a central lab.
The results of the study indicate that the NEX QC EDXRF analyzer is an optimal tool for identifying and quantifying elemental composition of a wide variety of iron materials. With a small footprint and modern touch screen interface, the Rigaku NEX QC analyzer is transportable, rugged and reliable, and ideal for use in iron production.

In partnership with the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation in June 2011, Deutsche Bank will provide funding for solar power stations for rural elementary boarding schools in the province that currently have no access to electricity. By building a 3,600 kilowatt-hour photovoltaic power station, the "Solar Power Lights the Way"project will provide electricity for 500 to 600 students in each school.
With proper maintenance, a solar power station could operate for about 10 years, meeting the school's electricity needs and saving money that would otherwise be spent on conventional fuel sources. This project also aims to promote the use of solar power and combat climate change.

You might recall that I ended the last blog post with the following:
One thing at a time, one thing at a time, one thing at a time…
Why are we so convinced that this is the best way to work? Hopefully my previous post made it clear that the flexibility teams have to respond to changing circumstances by working on one thing at a time is an excellent benefit. There are additional, significant benefits to working on one thing at a time – two of which I explore in this post.
How do you know that what you're creating will do well in the marketplace, meet customers' needs, and generally provide high customer satisfaction? In the old, waterfall days we used to have "beta programs" where customers would be granted access to some pre-release version of the software that they could use in-house and then provide feedback. The biggest problems with beta programs revolve around the lateness of the feedback received from customers. Typically, if customers didn't like something, or wanted something different, it was too late to make any major changes – the team was too busy fixing the backlog of defects, and the committed ship-date was often very close when the beta program started. Customers were often told, "We'll get to that in the next release."
However, by doing one thing at a time, your team has a much greater opportunity to understand, with a fairly high degree of certainty, that what you're creating will meet customers' needs. And the reason this is so is that you can involve your customers in your project throughout the entire lifecycle. When the team completes a small feature, or completes even a small part of a larger feature, that feature can be demo'd to customers. It's common for agile teams to be demo-ing some completed functionality to customers at the end of their very first iteration. And customers love it! It gives the customers the ability to "put their fingerprints" on the product – they get to see what's being built, provide immediate feedback, and then see the development organization respond quickly to that feedback. In other words, customers are able to provide real-time, on-going feedback so that when the product finally does ship, customers will be very comfortable in knowing that the product provides what is actually needed.
One other benefit is that customers can actually request that the product be made available earlier than planned. Say, for example, a team plans on three major features for its next release. By working on one feature at a time, it's quite possible that customers could ask that the product be released as soon as the first two features are complete – or even just the first one! If the feature is needed, and customers can see how they can immediately make use of it, and the team has actually completed the feature, then releasing just the very first feature (instead of waiting until all three planned features are complete) may make the most business sense. But the ability to even have such a business discussion is only possible if one feature at a time is being worked on. If all three features are started in parallel, then the team has created inflexibility since nothing can ship until all three features are completed (yes, dark launches address this problem, but the additional overhead of ensuring what's "dark" doesn't interfere with what's been completed must be considered).
So, to sum up, how do you know? You know because your customers are providing you real-time, on-going feedback throughout the project to help ensure that what you deliver is what they need. It's a win-win situation for everyone!

Another guest post from my husband, K.
We ate dinner at our friend's house last night.
It was a casual dinner party, kids included.
We fed the kids first and then the grown-ups ate.
All this skewed dinner a little late by our early-eating clock.
While we waited, we both noshed on crackers and hummus.
A little bit of cheese, yes please.
We picked at left over hot dog pieces and grilled mushrooms as we cleared the kids plates.
When it was ready, we both ate solid dinners.
We could not refuse the chocolate cake.
Soon after, regret set in.
Both of our stomachs hurt.
My practical wife said,
"We have to learn to eat like old people."

I've posted but nothing has shown up! Why?
When you posted you would have been presented with an extra screen. Did you read it? If it flashed by too fast, this is what it said:
Thank you for posting!
Please do not re-enter your post, it will appear.
What this message means: Your post has been received, thank you. It may not appear immediately.
What you need to do: Do not re-enter your post.
Kind of obvious, but you'd be amazed... I think the two-second refresh delay must be too short.
Why? Well, PHPBuilder has a very intelligent anti-spam filter - it's so smart it's considered sentient and big chunks of it even have the vote. The upside is a fairly good handle on blocking spam, but the downside is that it can take a while to run.
It is possible that it won't appear at all. That would mean your post looked so much like spam that it got filtered out. If your post hasn't appeared after a full day - and it wasn't spam or some other violation of PHPBuilder's Acceptable Use Policy - then you'll need to ask yourself why it didn't get through the filter, and rewrite your post.
How can I edit my posts?
If your post doesn't have an [✎ Edit Post] button on it, then editing is currently disabled. Some features are disabled for new members, and you need a certain post count before they're unlocked. Also, once a post reaches a certain age, it's no longer editable.
Once again, it's an anti-spam measure, and the reason for some of the vagueness in the details is to avoid giving spammers too much information they could use to game the system.

Who's getting fed up with what is happening in Baseball these days?
We just had one of our pitchers, Ryan Franklin, suspended for 10 days and of course he denies it as well. Do you believe in these denials from the players or do you think that they are lying?
Example (this is just my opinion):
Brett Boone was traded from the Mariners to the Twins. One month later, with a batting average of 137, he was released. He had many good seasons then when the whole steroid thing broke, he was accused of using. I believe that. And now it's come back to kick him in the butt.

Archaeologists say an ancient Chinese arrowhead unearthed in Okayama City in Western Japan is the first of its kind discovered in the country.
The bronze arrowhead has been dated to the Warring States period of ancient Chinese history, 475 B.C. to 221 B.C., China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported Thursday.
Researchers said the Chinese artifact, a "double-winged bronze arrowhead," was unearthed at the Minamigata ruins located in the city center of Okayama.

Great post. (because it's one I agree with - obviously)
..and for the full 'obama deception' film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw
I'd not seen before until Thom mentioned Obama - such a deception.. and I googled it wondering was it a bit of a zeitgeist phrase out there in the public consciousness - and low and behold.
I like the way, the above movie is referenced as a 'conspiracy' theory yet a lot of the content is blatantly true - very little reading between the lines really needed: e.g the 'scaremongering' at the time of widespread/blanket wireless wiretapping....well that's now a gimme for starters isn't it.
I also love KRS One's little burger franchise summary of the current reality of our 'democracies' - comes in about 0:02:50 .
It seems abundantly clear across most of the western world really now (let alone any of the so-called developing nations) that our representative democracy's a real sham, and that if we want REAL democracies - or something approaching them, we either need Direct Democracy (which let's be honest, in our digital, computing, age ..is Entirely f&cking possible from a nuts and bolts or infrastructure point of view ; --OR we need a system that DOES NOT rely on TRUSTING any of our representatives - it needs to work (a la the BitCoin currency network's philosopy of NOT TRUSTING any one party on the network - but VERIFYING all the encrypted transactions) via transparency, open communication and verifiability and accountability - swift accountability.
I'm not a 'commie' or a 'hippy' - I'm just looking for 'fairness' in my world, my society (and it's as much mine as anyone elses, including anyone thinks they're 'in charge')
Those that are De Facto 'in charge' aren't going to concede control. It needs to be taken back from them are shared out again - as ideologically it should have been all along.
Good luck to us all ;-)
Sorry for all the stress quotes and capitals. Not that sorry.

haha, 'The Obama Deception' I linked to above certainly starts interestingly, albeit a little provocatively.. with a lot of well known truths behind the banking collapse, the string pullers of economic and political power; covering really a bunch of the same ground as Inside Job.. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1645089/
but then goes a bit silly.. i.e. proper fictional conspiracy theory stuff -sorry I can be gullible at first- : the Carbon Tax powered new Obama-fiend architectured 'Bank of the World' and personal Presidential conscript Army.. hehe, funny.
But I'll own up, I didn't realise it was a mockumentary at first ..or is it(?!) there's still so much truth within the silliness.

Britain is made up of two countries, with lengthening dole queues alongside "bonus-drunk" bankers still carrying on business as usual despite the state of the economy, the leader of the country's biggest union said today.
Unite general secretary Len McCluskey also stressed he wanted the Olympics to be successful despite sparking controversy by suggesting that strikes could be held during the Games.
Writing on the Labour List website, Mr McCluskey said his remarks about industrial action this summer had been "hyped" and had caused "confusion". But the unions are adamant that strike action remains a possibility.
He said he "couldn't care less" about the criticism his remarks drew from Prime Minister David Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.
"I want a successful Olympic Games in London, but I want much more than just a 'feelgood' fortnight. I want a country to be proud of the whole year round with a decent NHS.
"Because Britain today is two countries. It is the nation which will welcome the world to a magnificent Olympic Games, and it is also a country with a greedy corporate elite and a government assaulting everything it took generations of working people to build.
"A country of lengthening dole queues, with more than a million young people jobless - another 'forgotten generation'.
"But it is also a country where those who caused the crisis - the speculators and bonus-drunk bankers - still carry on business as usual. It is a place where a Unite community activist had to stop a meeting on a housing estate because one person there was overcome for lack of food.
"So if I sound angry, it is because I am. We all should be. The time for quiet words and relying on reasoned argument alone is past."
Mr McCluskey, who will address a protest rally in London tonight against the Government's controversial health reforms, said the NHS was "on the point of privatisation", adding: "We are fighting for the very soul of our NHS against a government who arrogantly ignores the will of the people."
David Cameron has previously described McCluskey's comments about the Olympics as "unpatriotic and unacceptable."

I rescued a beautiful cat today. A beautiful Oriental Shorthair kitten, not more than 9 months old. I gave her a name. Her name was Lily.
Her lifeless body was laying in the middle of Route 5 in the pouring rain.:(:(
Call me crazy, but I could not let her lay there alone in the rain. I turned my car around and scooped her up in a towel. I took her to the vet to be scanned to see if she was "chipped". She wasn't. She was in rigormortis, which means she was hit by a car sometime last night.
Lily was a beautiful black tiger and white Oriental. She was unspayed and had flea dirt. The vet said it didn't look like she belonged to anyone. She was cremated and now is off to the Rainbow Bridge.
This is the part of my job I don't like. NO animal should die alone.
RIP sweet beautiful girl. You were loved, even for a brief moment. Play hard at the Bridge and watch over my RB fur crew.:(:(

I'm not a real experienced Javascript or AJAX programmer, but I understand the general concepts and I just can't seem to find anything that works correctly.

New Mexico is currently experiencing the worst drought in the country according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
In just the past week the percentage of New Mexico under extreme drought shot up from 4 percent to 25 percent. The U.S. Drought Monitor map shows the state blanketed in red.
This is the third consecutive year of historic drought nationwide. In the southwest New Mexico and Texas have been hit the hardest. Average rainfall in New Mexico is down by more than half.
For cattle ranchers that means high feed costs and reducing their herd size. Farmers across the region are switching to crops that require less water like cotton.
Also the danger of wildfire will only intensify as high winds and hot temperatures combine in the coming weeks.

The lights are on
I don't know about any of you, but Last of Us is a needed breath of fresh air for the survival horror genre, I hope it's actually horror-filled
i totally agree with you to the fullest. However not only do i think that but i think it is going to change the perceptions of many games of that genre for years to come
seriously im going to school for game design and this is one of the genres i would love to create a title for
I agree with all, however I truly hope there is regular city we could explore such as a residential neighborhood where we could go into homes and retrieve needed or wanted merchandise. I would also like the option of meeting others that are not infected that we could choose to invite to come with or do with them whatever we see fit.

seems to close everytime I open it...
04-06-2004, 02:19 PM #5trenolletGuest
Remind me not to get applecare. Since it seems to disable the Help Tab and causes repair / restore CD to not boot :-p
Can you boot from the restore Discs? If so, then I'd venture to say the TechTool CD isn't bootable. Maybe it was suppose to be, but it ain't a workin'
I find the best way to see Mac help is to select it from the top menu line after opening Finder
04-07-2004, 04:49 AM #7SeekerGuestah... =)
I just decided to give Apple Tech Support a ring, apparently I can't boot from the TechTools CD but I can run it from my OS so no big deal...
The help preferences apparently got corrupted so all I had to do was delete the com.help.* files under user folder/library/preferences and after tt no more prob.

That is so strange. I have never had any problems booting that disc from my iBook G4. Glad you got it figured out though.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Nearly half the fans at Milwaukee Brewers games come from outside the five-county metropolitan area, and their spending has provided a local boost.
A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report says those fans have an economic impact of about $263 million per year. That's according to a new study by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The Brewers draw about 2.6 million fans each season, about 1 million more than the team attracted in its final years at County Stadium. Officials with the Miller Park stadium district say the stadium's retractable roof is a big reason because it prevents rain-outs.
Don Smiley is the board chairman of the Southeast Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District. He says the parking lot is often filled with cars and buses from throughout the state and the Midwest.

If Mitt Romney is to have any chance of beating President Barack Obama in November, he must win a larger share of the Hispanic vote than current polls suggest he will. And he won't unless he solves his immigration problem.
It's a problem of his own making. He decided that beating up on illegal immigrants would boost his popularity among those suspicious that he was really a moderate Republican. In doing so, he injected an issue into the campaign that had largely fizzled -- and for good reason. Illegal immigration is down to historical lows -- primarily because the U.S. economy continues to be sluggish, so fewer people want to come here.
Romney has plenty of advisers trying to figure out how best to soften his negative image among Hispanic voters. We can expect to see him wolfing down tacos and mumbling a few phrases in Spanish in the days ahead. But neither tactic will do anything but make him look foolish.
What he should do is rid his campaign of the likes of Kris Kobach -- the zealot behind several state anti-illegal immigrant laws being challenged in the courts right now. The Romney campaign already has started to back away from its association with Kobach, but that's just the first step. The next thing he needs to do is to speak honestly and openly to the American people about the true state of immigration to the U.S. -- legal and illegal.
Here's my suggestion for what he should say:
"My fellow Americans, I know I've spent a lot of time talking about illegal immigration during the primaries, and I've used some pretty tough rhetoric. I've suggested that 11 million people who are here illegally -- many of whom have lived in this country for decades -- should self-deport.
"But when I think about what those words really mean, I've come to understand that it would require parents to leave behind their American-born children or else force them to go to a country they've never known and whose language they may not even speak. It would separate husband from wife, brother from sister, and lead to family breakdown and instability in many communities.
"It also would shutter many local businesses, not just those that depend on immigrant labor but those where illegal immigrants buy their food, clothes, cars and washing machines. It would deepen the housing crisis as they left behind mortgages that never would be paid and abandoned rental units that would not be filled. Church pews would be emptier, as would federal, state and local tax coffers.
"It's true that there would be fewer tax dollars expended on educating the children of illegal immigrants or treating them in local emergency rooms. But every careful study that has factored in what illegal immigrants and their adult children ultimately pay in taxes over their life spans and what they take out in services shows a net positive, although a small one.
"So we need to figure out a humane and practical way to deal with this problem -- not one that makes a good sound bite but has no chance of success. I am committed, if I become president, to get the best minds available to come up with some alternatives. I know that most Americans don't like the idea of rewarding law-breakers, so whatever solution we come up with will have to carry heavy penalties for those who've broken the law.
"But we also have to realize that the only way to prevent this problem from recurring when the economy starts booming again -- as it will on my watch -- is to fix our legal immigration laws. Our legal immigration system is broken. The reason so many people have sneaked into the country illegally or remained here after their temporary visas expired is that there are no legal avenues for them to come.
"We need a legal immigration system that is market-based, not one created by a bunch of bureaucrats and anti-population lobbyists. We need to make sure American workers get first crack at jobs -- but when they won't take certain jobs or can't meet the qualifications for others, employers need legal access to workers who can and will. And we need whatever system we create to be flexible enough to accommodate the business cycle, with visas going up during boom times and down during recessions.
"What I promise, my fellow Americans, is to stop pandering to ideologues and hatemongers and come up with a system that is good for America and Americans and reflects the principles and values that have made this country great."
If he had the courage to give such a speech, he'd do more than improve his standing with Hispanics. He'd show leadership befitting a president.

From what I understand, from keeping up with numerous ISP customer forums, it's not just lately.
SSH will raise the key changed warning if you've connected before.
SSL will raise a certificate error unless they have some way of getting a fake cert.
Regarding SSL, it is a good thing that idiots like this one here [slashdot.org] don't get there way. Otherwise someone could hijack your bank website, use a self-signed certificate and Firefox would just ignore the authentication error.
someone could hijack your bank website, use a self-signed certificate and Firefox would just ignore the authentication error.
What's to stop somebody from hijacking the bank website, redirecting to a website that uses no SSL at all, and waiting for the passwords to roll in?
Firefox and IE will, by default, warn you about sending unencrypted passwords. Once. And no more than once.
Of course, many or perhaps even most people will notice that the site is unencrypted, but the attacker doesn't need to fool everybody. Even a 20% success rate is plenty good enough.
What's to stop somebody from hijacking the bank website, redirecting to a website that uses no SSL at all, and waiting for the passwords to roll in?
If you normally access your bank's website by way of https, you wouldn't get redirected because the hijacked website's certificate wouldn't be valid. Other than that, you're just describing phishing.

TFA describes the process to make an SSL certificate that appears authentic.
Domain Validation: How SSL Certificate Authorities use DNS to determine whether you get a certificate
* Look up the domain in WHOIS
o DNS address lookup
* Send an email to the mail address on file
o DNS MX record lookup
* Visit the web page and look for a file
o DNS A record lookup
Guess how secure that is in the face of a DNS attack?
That works only on the cheapest certificates. PayPal and other prominent sites use more expensive extended certificates that are not issued after a simple click on an emailed link.
Firefox and IE will, by default, warn you about sending unencrypted passwords.
Firefox will continue to warn you until you check the "Do not warn me in the future" box. Which for most people is after the first time, but it's still the user's choice to disable the notification.
Firefox and IE will, by default, warn you about sending unencrypted passwords.
They warn you about sending any unencrypted information, not just passwords. Most people don't want to see that message every time they use Google, so they turn it off.
What's to stop somebody from hijacking the bank website
A paper trail. Taking money out of someone else's bank account will leave a paper trail. If your going to hijack a financial industry website, hijack a stock broker. It's much easier to launder the money. (think supply and demand)
Slide 65 of his presentation:
Actual data: When a major online bank in New Zealand had its cert expire, 99.5% of users still entered their credentials.
SSL will raise a certificate error unless they have some way of getting a fake cert.
As Kaminsky pointed out, you're correct that browsers do this, but what about other non-browser applications that use SSL? Sure, they SHOULD do this. Do they? Really? Are you sure? How do you know?
You mean all the services that use DNS are at risk?!?!?!
Say it isn't so...!
Here all this time I thought the Internet WAS the Web...

Interesting...if you go to http://220.127.116.11/ [18.104.22.168] you get a 301 redirect to slashdot.org, so using the IP directly doesn't help you, unless you make sure to send the Host header.
If you are reading this on Slashdot, and you are just now realizing that DNS exploits affect more than just the web, then get the hell out of here. Shoo. Leave your card at the door.
Wait, we need to know tech to be here? I thought we just had to be libertarian and anti-copyright.
Nah. Those are just the requirements for upmodding. You can still hang around otherwise, but we might not talk to you.
Did you stop reading Slashdot, like, eight years ago? Libertarians have been outnumbered by the lefties here for a long time now.
No shit.
News for Really Dumb Nerds: Rest of internet uses same DNS system as web pages, not some magical other system to look up domain names.
This flaw, if it exist, is more dangerous for email and FTP. Because those automatically log in, and thus attackers can just wildcard all domains to a password collection server.
Unlike web sites, where you have to mimic each individual website, or built a complicated pass-through, to get people to log in. (Or attempt to steal cookies, which has its own problems.)
I realized that about two minutes after I read about the flaw.
Sorry Kirk, we can't win this battle. Back in the day only professionals, nerds and skilled technicians visited Slashdot. These days the site (for monetary reasons, I'm sure) has to cater to a much larger audience and we have to accept that we, the low-digit-UID crowd, are no longer representative for Slashdot.
The only problem is, our chances are not much better anywhere else. I miss the days when the Internet consisted mostly of early adopters. (Then again, we need the masses because they make it feasible to have actually useful things like Internet banking and on-line pizza orders.)
Everything you said is true. This was just an unwelcome reminder of exactly how far it's fallen. I mean, suppose you went to a website for grape fanatics and read a story about a fungus that affected all grapes and its implications for wine making. You would have to kind of assume that it would also have an effect on grape juice, jelly, and other products. Can't we expect at least that level of general knowledge on here?
BTW, I'm listening to My Chemical Romance and wearing Vans. I have a brother?
The thing that cracks me up is that the one service I've not yet seen mentioned on Slashdot that is affected is exactly the one a geek might have figured on first - the practice of VPN tunneling over DNS servers. (See Freshmeat, as always, for details.) The attack obviously means such VPN tunnels can be spliced into. This means anything that can be reached by such tunnels, even if the endpoints concerned cannot be remotely accessed by any other means, are essentially wide open.
Now, I don't personally know o
The attack obviously means such VPN tunnels can be spliced into. This means anything that can be reached by such tunnels, even if the endpoints concerned cannot be remotely accessed by any other means, are essentially wide open.
Wouldn't the endpoints treat the inserted packet as invalid and drop (and may log) it? Besides that, although I can't speak for a given IP-over-DNS implementation, I know that OpenVPN is typically set up to require certificate authentication. When my home router tries to build a tunnel to the office, they check each other's certs before proceeding. If such a mechanism holds for the DNS-based VPN, I'd think that a worst case scenario would be a denial of service as the initial authentication would fail.
When I started running my own MUSH servers - I had 7 going at one point - I didn't trust external DNS servers to be safe, reliable or up-to-date, so simply zone dumped all the regulars onto my own DNS and ignored the outside DNS tree entirely.
Rubber-soled platform soles and tinfoil bodysuits?
So those 1970's scifi series (such as Blakes' 7 and UFO) were actually prophetic!
Good point. How do we know this really is Slashdot?
Check the stories for horrifying editing mistakes.. if you don't find any by the end of the day, I guess we'll have to notify Taco about being owned.
How do we know this really is Slashdot?
I would have replied earlier but I'm a cowboy who needs to slow down.
I guess that's how we know it's really Slashdot.
Ugh, he may be a great researcher, but those are some terrible slides. Did he say anything that wasn't on a slide?
This is why I've maintained a comprehensive
This might surprise people relatively new to technology, but it should be obvious to anyone who's been in the field for a while.
If you can hijack DNS, you can of course replace any networked service with your own (as man-in-the-middle attack or otherwise). If you change the road signs on an intersection in the countryside, not just cars are vulnerable - all traffic is.
This would have been an interesting and informative story in the early days of Slashdot when we were all still new to the concepts of Internet. Anno 2008, I would have expected more from the editors (maybe not the new recruit, but timothy has been around for a long time). News for nerds has become news for the masses, it seems.
Maybe I should stop reading the main page and start checking only Science, Mobile and YRO.
good thing I still have a nice portable manual typewriter. only problem is, I can't get Google up on it. maybe I need a new ethernet cable??
Bad guy can force the name server to go run to the good guy and look something up It takes time to get the real request (with random number) to the good guy It takes more time to get the real response back from the good guy It takes no time for the bad guy to immediately follow up a request with a fake response Might have the wrong random number, but it'll definitely arrive first
1) Bad guy pretends he's a desktop pc (Stub Resolver)
2) Bad guy as Stub Resolver asks some arbitrary name server for the target's address
2) Bad guy knows the name server will eventually ask the target
3) Bad guy spoofs the target and sends his own replies back to the name server
4) One of the bad guy's spoof replies happens to match the Transaction ID
6) Name server thinks the bad guy's reply cames from target
7) Name server thinks the target lives at the IP address in Bad Guy's spoofed reply
From one of the referenced articles:
"Mr Silva at VeriSign said even though patches have been put in place, this doesn't mean users can sit back and relax.
"The biggest gap in security rests between the keyboard and the back of the chair," he said.
"The look and feel of a website is not what a consumer should trust. They should trust the security behind that website and do simple things like use more secure passwords and change their password regularly." "
Absolutely. Changing your password often on the faked site will go a long ways to ensuring your trust in the Internet is not betrayed.
Dan really does get this. Nothing is safe. DNS affects pretty much everything on the Internet, and it's a big mess waiting to be *further* exploited.
And the PR flaks ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Senior Vice Presidents and Chief Technology Officers at various Internet security firms do not get it. Or their direct reports do not get it, whoever gave them the statement to read that so clearly is so wrong.
Trust No One. Not your ISP, not your bank, not your favorite search engine, not your software vendors. Makes me want to get a regular landline phone again and call people...
I'm a bit leary of the net now with this DNS vulnerability. Right now I have a "An Update is available for your iPhone" dialog on my screen, I am actually reading a bit to make sure an update was released before I click download and install.

Right now I have a "An Update is available for your iPhone" dialog on my screen, I am actually reading a bit to make sure an update was released before I click download and install.
Because if someone hacked Apple's update servers, there's no way they could've hacked Apple's web servers, right?
Sure they could, but why bother with the security door when you can go through the paper wall?
I RTFA. At this point, we're hanging all of our eggs into the encyrption basket. If someone proves P=NP and breaks SSL, the whole internet is hosed. Now again, why are we telling people that this stuff is safe, when -we- know that it is not?
1. The internet will have to balkanized into those countries that have laws to go after hackers and those who do not.
2. Consumers will eventually only choose content that is actually hosted by their ISPs because that will be the only content that is safe.
3. ISPs will increasingly look to disallow traffic coming from "non-trusted" ISPs in order to protect themselves.
The saga continues...
4. Create some new trust mechanism that supposedly cannot be broken.
5. Include a significant financial barrier to this trust mechanism.
6a. Profit!! For some, and bankrupcy for others.
6b. Small, independant software developers, web sites, blogs, etc. are closed out of the Internet and fade away.
6c. We have an "Internet" ruled by whomever controls #4 and #5, above. This can be a government, one or more large corporations, etc.
6d. More profit for those who survive.
Then we have no competiti
Factorization is not NP-complete. On the other hand, a polynomial algorithm doesn't have to be low-order. Shor's happens to be n^3 for a quantum computer, but consider if it would be, say, n^12 in number of bits. That's 10^39 for 2048 bits. A single computer in one year might be able to go through 10^17 of those. Oh, only 10^22 computer years.
The only real problem would be finding an algorithm that's on par with the normal multiplication, since cracking would be comparable to the workload for normal authen
If you had a proof that P=NP, you could still rewrite FACTOR to take advantage of it. In my own quest to make FACTOR, I turned it into a travelling salesman problem. this is no big deal... you can use a solution to an NP-Complete problem to solve anything, its just going to be a slow way to do it.
But, I was thinking in terms of attacking digital signatures in particular. SSL works, IIRC, by two levels of keys. There's an public key for the AEP/DES whatever encrypted payload that follows. Your SSL certi
And, of course, if P=NP, then one has to imagine that there might be a new wave of assaults on even non-public key crypto.
And don't forget the many bonuses; busses and trains might run on time!!! Air travel might be more efficient! All manner of logistic operations could become more efficient
Ken Silva, chief technology officer at Verisign, said: "We have anticipated these flaws in DNS for many years and we have basically engineered around them."
He believed there had been "some hype" around how the DNS flaw will affect consumers. He added that while it was an interesting way to exploit DNS on weak servers, there were other ways to misdirect people that remained.
Here we should point out that Verisign are the pig-fuckers who stopped returning NXDOMAIN for
"It's been overplayed in a sense. I think it has served to confuse the consumer into believing there is somehow now a way to misdirect them to a wrong site.
Well, Mr Silva, it IS a way to misdirect them to a wrong site.
Always consider the source when evaluating a comment.
Verisign are in the business of addressing this exact problem. In Mr. Silva's ideal world, everyone has a Verisign certificate and then (in theory, anyway) there is no way for someone to be directed to the wrong site because the certificate validation will alert the user.
Has anyone priced a Verisign certificate lately? Verisign stand to profit significantly from this, and Mr. Silva's downplaying of the risk is exactly what he should do. People will want t
How will a browser alert a user that the site they are browsing to, www.example.com, that has been redirected to 220.127.116.11 instead of the real address 188.8.131.52? This occurs BEFORE a SSL handshake and so cannot be covered by an SSL authentication check. The site can have a certificate that is granted to www.exmple.com (which the browser will be redirected to once going to 220.127.116.11) and will have a valid, paid for, certificate.
By the way, if anyone's looking for a cheaper SSL cert than Verisign, I've recently been going with RapidSSLOnline [rapidsslonline.com], which is a reseller for RapidSSL, also known as GeoTrust, which is accepted by all modern browsers (which does NOT include Netscape 4, or anything with a CA bundle stolen from Netscape 4).
As Kaminsky points out, they verify your identity by... relying on DNS. Specifically, they send e-mail to a common address at your domain (email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, etc.) or a contact address
WTF? What geek or nerd would even read a PPP, much less trust anything in it?
And is it even possible to transfer actual information via Power Point? I've heard rumors that it can be done, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually do it.
And is it even possible to transfer actual information via Power Point? I've heard rumors that it can be done, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually do it.
I saw a great Power Point presentation on that subject once, it was very convincing.
last time I looked at the insides of a lottery machine (every chance I get) - I saw cables that looked a lot like ethernet. wonder if any of them use DNS to call home...
Kaminsky makes a point about how this bug can be used to spoof Certification Authorities who issue SSL certificates. For the cheap "domain control only validated" certificates, ownership of the domain is validated by sending an e-mail to the domain. If you can spoof DNS from the viewpoint of a CA, you can buy a valid SSL cert for a domain you don't own. Now you can spoof some banking site, and the spoofed site will properly display an SSL cert.
He also makes the point that DNS cache poisoning can be used to fake MX records in DNS, which will result in e-mail being diverted to the attacker, who can then look at it. If the attacker creates a high-priority MX record, they can read the mail, then disconnect without acknowledging receipt. The originating mailer will then resend to the next-priority MX record, the real one. So the mail reaches its destination without anything in the headers to indicate it was snooped.

I'm not really a systems administrator by trade, however, I have been conscripted into acting like one from time to time.

Most of those servers have been patched, but for reasons that I am not going to go into now, one of them is stil

SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Two instructors at a South Texas base that provides basic training for the Air Force face separate court-martials on charges arising from a sex scandal.
Staff Sgt. Eddy Soto and Staff Sgt. Donald Davis have been scheduled for military trials to begin Monday at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.
Soto is accused of adultery, having unprofessional relationships with a trainee and a trainee's spouse and making a false official statement. Davis is charged with abusive sexual contact, assault and battery and having a sexual relationship with a trainee.
In all, 32 basic-training instructors have been under investigation at Lackland, with six being convicted of misconduct. Investigators say more than 40 women at Lackland had inappropriate contact with instructors or were sexually harassed or raped.

Spoilers galore.
Sunday night's "Breaking Bad" high-octane hour opened with a flashback to the first cook session, before Walt was good at lying, back when he had to practice first what fabrication he would tell Skyler on the phone. You know, when they were first thinking of the name Holly for the coming baby. Just a cold reminder of how far we've come.
Okay, poets, let's deconstruct. "Ozymandias" refers to the Percy Bysshe Shelley poem about the inevitable decay of empires. Walt, who long ago proclaimed himself not just in the drug business but in the empire business, is about to see his empire crumble.
Hank is wounded, but, even as Walt pleads with Uncle Jack to save Hank's life, we know, "There's no scenario where this man lives." Not even the $80 million scenario? No, not even that.
The inevitable demise of Hank ends in deathly silence. (We knew it was coming since he celebrated his victory over Walt a tad too early, before last week's shootout; also because tragedy demands this consequence.) We're left with the indelible sight of Walt crying as he falls to the desert floor. The burial of federal agents Hank Schrader and Steve Gomez in what was the money's hiding place is just cleanup as usual for Uncle Jack's neo-Nazi crew.
Walt knows a living Jesse Pinkman remains a threat. So he contracts for that death. First there will be torture.
Walt finally told Jesse that he watched Jesse's girlfriend Jane (the tattoo artist played by Krysten Ritter) die, and did nothing. "I watched her overdose and choke to death. I could have saved her but I didn't." The psychological torture is just the beginning. But the belated confession had less dramatic urgency than it should have.
Better was the Sysiphisean shot of Walt pushing his barrel full of cash uphill, to an Indian's hut in the desert.
The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards will be held on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Chat with us, read more about the nominees and cast your own vote:
Thinking that Hank has Walt under arrest, Marie pressures Sklyer to tell Junior (Flynn) everything.
When she does R.J. Mitte turns in a beautifully distraught performance. "Why would you go along?" Junior wants to know.
More lying and Walt packs, demanding the family follow suit. In perhaps the most climactic scene of the hour, after Walt and Skyler fight over a knife and Junior protects his mom from the madman who is his father, once again Walt invokes the idea of "family." Heartbreaking, really. At long last, after so many dodges and lies, police and federal agents, it's Walt's own son who calls the cops on him.
Having abducted 18-month-old Holly, Walt phones Skyler with another ploy. He tells her she's ungrateful. He blames her for telling Junior the truth, he calls her a "stupid bitch." Tearfully, she apologizes. All with the cops listening. This is Walt's way of leaving the family free of any responsibility for his acts. They can't be blamed if they where under threat of violence. He knows the police are on the line, he wants them to think Skyler was blameless.
After an ironically tender scene of Walt changing a diaper and cooing to the baby, Walt's most evil-genius self beams through: "Toe the line," he warns Skyler, "or you will wind up just like Hank."
He abandons the baby at a fire station. And he's off, presumably with help from Saul and a new identity.
Two episodes left and zero sympathy remaining for the desperate, sick, empire builder.
