Greedy for the truth
Miraculous … Carluccio recommends toast with anchovies in green sauce to sate a salty craving.In Antonio Carluccio's memoir you can hear the gruff voice of that larger-than-life quintessential Italian you'll know from television. But you'll also discover a lifetime of recurring depression and attempts at suicide. This is a man for whom outward bonhomie has hidden a terrible underlying despair.
In conversation with Carluccio, he lets that low voice run on, answering questions as directly and fully as you could hope, so you get a sense of the man who loves people and communication. He says he has come to terms with the difficult parts of his life. So much so he has finally come clean on a crisis that made newspaper headlines four years ago when an injury to his chest (he stabbed himself with scissors) was announced as a kitchen accident. It was, in fact, one of at least four suicide attempts he recounts, since he took an overdose of sleeping pills as his first marriage fell apart in the mid-1970s.
Yes, Carluccio agrees, it takes courage to lay bare this part of his life, but he feels settled enough now to say it happened. The crisis with the scissors, he says, was "the result of the moment", the break-up of a relationship sparking a whisky-fuelled moment of madness.
As we speak, Carluccio is in the garden of his cul-de-sac home in London, where he says the day is a bit murky, but the garden is quiet and he is battling with squirrels for peaches. "I try to defend the peaches with all my guts but I lose the battle," he says. "I know the right one is to share with nature but I am fed up with it."
Writing his memoir has helped him understand his life, he says. And it's all there for the reading – well, most of it. "Absolutely what I wanted to achieve was to write the real thing, and there are some few bits and pieces that I didn't enlarge or go in deep, for example, my relationship with the Conran family [Carluccio married Priscilla Conran, sister of Terence Conran, a big name in design and architecture]. Anyway, I did another version." This second version is an oral history, where Carluccio recorded hours of interviews, now in the British Library with a stipulation they not be made available for 20 years. "If somebody wants to know more of the nitty-gritty they can know it, but in 20 years' time," he says with a small chuckle.
One of the striking things about Carluccio's memoir (among many, including the number of women in his life, the ease with which he fell in love and the inevitable collapse of the relationships, although eventually he settled into a 28-year marriage to Priscilla, from whom he split in 2008) is the circuitous route he took to a career in food.
After moving to London in 1975, he had to find work (he got a job selling Tuscan wine) and learn a difficult language, and he attributes a heart attack at 38 to the stress of it. By this time also, Carluccio had had his first depressive crisis in which he took an overdose of sleeping pills.
"My sadness has often played out in self-destructive ways as it's not in my nature to inflict how I am feeling on others," he writes. "Indeed, I would go to great lengths, often at my most distressed, to keep how I was feeling from those around me, telling jokes and playing the convivial host when I felt quite desperate inside."
He traces this sadness partly to the death of his younger brother in 1960. He was closest to his brother Enrico, whom he looked after.
"Of all my siblings, I found him the most similar in temperament to myself. He was a little quieter than the others … but with a strong imagination and sense of adventure, an urge to fly away and discover new places."
When Enrico drowned while swimming at age 13, Carluccio says his heart was "cauterised with grief". Enrico's death isolated members of the family. His mother seemed to "collapse in on herself as if her life, too, were over", and soon after, she turned to the Jehovah's Witnesses, as did his sister, a conversion that apparently still rankles with Carluccio.
The day after his brother's death, Carluccio bought a bunch of parsley and a kilogram of salted anchovies and set about the methodical task of rinsing and filleting the anchovies for bagna cauda, or salsa verde. He describes this as "perhaps the first time I remember actively turning to the preparation of food in an effort to create some sort of meaning and purpose in my life when otherwise there was none".
In London, Carluccio moved in restaurant circles, through his work selling wine and collecting mushrooms, and through brother-in-law Terence Conran, who owned the Neal Street Restaurant. He was encouraged to enter a newspaper cooking competition, and made it to the final. Conran asked him to manage the Neal Street Restaurant in 1981, and "everything came together, and my professional career started 25 years ago", Carluccio, now 75, says.
He eventually bought the restaurant, taking on Gennaro Contaldo, who became a lifelong friend and his offsider on BBC TV's Two Greedy Italians, and also, briefly, Jamie Oliver as a pastry chef. Carluccio started a string of eponymous delicatessens then cafes in the 1990s, with phenomenal success (he no longer owns the chain). With television shows and books, his success in the food world was complete, but he was not happy. He felt his life was spiralling out of control and he had lost his name to a brand. In 2007, the Neal Street Restaurant was forced to close and Carluccio took to gambling – "sheer, expensive escapism" – but, after an ultimatum from his wife, booked into an addiction centre. But 2008 was to bring another crisis, when his marriage to Priscilla finally ended and depression took hold again, along with gambling and whisky. "It was an instinctive reaction to the intolerable pressure under which I found myself," Carluccio says of the moment when he locked himself in the bathroom and used his body weight to shove scissors into his chest, penetrating the pleural cavity in his lungs.
During his recovery, Carluccio says, "I don't think I have ever felt more abandoned or alone or angry".
At least he had something to look forward to that year, he writes – of all things, an invitation to Tasting Australia in Adelaide, "which went some way to restoring my enthusiasm for life".
Carluccio loves the simplicity and authenticity he finds in Australia's food, in line with his philosophy: "Minimum of fuss and maximum of flavour", a line he truncates to "mof mof".
When Carluccio arrived in Britain in 1975, he confronted the era of freeze-dried mashed potato and instant puddings, but also the beginnings of an interest in Italian food. Carluccio describes what developed as "Britalian" food: dishes such as spag bol, made with minced beef, rather than tagliatelle al ragu bolognese, which he says should be made with minced veal and pork.
Now, in Italy there's a return to some of the traditional food, but he also points disapprovingly to the introduction of ingredients from other countries – oysters with chocolate! Carluccio is down on fusion in any guise, not just in Italy. He wants British cuisine to be true to its roots and he clearly likes food to be recognisable and simple. He's not a fan of dishes that describe a long series of ingredients, many of which appear only fleetingly on the plate. Nor is he a fan of the style epitomised by Heston Blumenthal, whose food he doesn't believe will stand the test of time. For Carluccio, food is not something "banal to play with".
He regrets not having children, but he has a girlfriend now, and he's happy with his lot. Why wouldn't he be, he asks, listing the good things in his life: a lovely garden and house, the ability to travel and meet people as he wants. Writing a memoir, he says, "you see the life running just like a film", which helps you discover the things that make you happy and the things that make you unhappy – and you learn that while you might wish for things to be different, you can't change them.
"I was able to forge a life that was true to me," he writes. "And with my hand on my heart I can say, this is my story and I am happy with it."Anchovies in green sauce
Various salsa verde or green sauces have been developed over the years by non-Italian chefs, which may be delicious, but which do not always correspond to the Italian taste. We normally use parsley, basil or rocket as the green base, and this one is made with parsley. When you come home and feel a little peckish for something salty, these anchovies on toasted bread are miraculous. Naturally the dish can be served as part of an antipasto.
300g perfect anchovy fillets in oil (Italian or Spanish are the best)
Salsa verde
1 fresh white bread roll
About 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 big bunch flat-leaf parsley, very finely chopped, without the stalks
1 small medium-hot chilli, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and pureed
10 little cornichons (mini gherkins), very finely chopped
15 salted capers, soaked, drained and very finely chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil, as required
Drain the anchovies and put a layer of them in the bottom of a narrow ceramic container. You want to have several layers of anchovies, so don't use too large a dish. To start the salsa, cut off the crust from the roll, and soak the inner crumbs in a little vinegar for a few minutes. Squeeze as dry as possible, then finely chop. Put into a bowl with the parsley, chilli, garlic, cornichons and capers and mix well, adding enough olive oil to achieve a sauce consistency. Cover the anchovies with a layer of green sauce, then top with another layer of anchovies. Repeat this until all the anchovies are covered with sauce. Add enough olive oil to cover everything and keep refrigerated for a day, after which you can start to use them. Keep refrigerated for up to a week. Serve with cold meats or as a dip with other canape-type dishes.

LA Roadsters Car Club Show
Brandan GilloglywriterJesse Kiserphotographer
The 48th annual LA Roadster's show was Father's Day weekend at the Fairplex in Pomona. HOT ROD staffers visited some of the festivities that helped kick off the show, including a celebration of Alex Xydias on his 90th birthday, while others stuck around to see what the Sunday show had to offer. We rolled in after a late breakfast so we missed a lot of the best deals at the swap meet, but there were still plenty of pre-war steel (and fiberglass) toogle.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Cowboys receiver Miles Austin, cornerback Orlando Scandrick and linebacker Bruce Carter left Thursday's game against Washington due to injuries.
Austin strained his right hip and Scandrick hurt his left hand before halftime. The Cowboys said neither player would return.
Carter injured his left elbow making a tackle in the fourth quarter. He remained sitting on the sideline for several minutes at the end of the play while he was tended to by trainers, and the team almost immediately ruled him out for the game after he walked off the field.
Austin came down hard in the back of the end zone on the opening drive of the game when he took a hit from linebacker London Fletcher on an incomplete pass. Austin also had been knocked to the ground by Fletcher after an earlier incomplete pass.
Dallas was already without receiver Kevin Ogletree, who was inactive because of a concussion sustained Sunday.
Scandrick was hurt when he was trying to make a tackle and was hit by teammate Anthony Spencer. Scandrick ran straight to the sideline holding his arm.
The team initially said Scandrick was being evaluated for a forearm injury.

Ideal vs. Real: What Do I Want Out of a Relationship?
by Tiffany Shavon Jules

As I was approaching my birthday this year, I started to think about when I made the conscious decision to compromise regarding my romantic relationships. During middle school, I remember making a detailed list of the qualities that I wanted in my future mate.
Charge to Independence

PEP Young Women's Leadership Council
It seems as if we've reached a place in life where, for the most part, independent women are recognized and celebrated. Look at women such as Mother Teresa, Hillary Clinton, Beyoncé, and many others. Yet even with these strong role models in our lives, are we prepared to brave the world on our own?

My New Year's Resolution: Practicing Good Consent
by Lani Blechman
PEP Young Women's Leadership Council
This year my new years resolution is to actively practice good consent. (Here's my working definition of consent: making sure it's alright before/during/after you initiate physical or sexual contact.) I didn't hear about consent until I started college a few years ago, but once I did it started changing how I looked at my own sexuality and how I have sex.

I'm a fan of greasy diners that are random and generic - why? Because they're not always greasy and they're not always generic.
Near Northgate Mall we came across P&S Restaurant in a strip mall next to a ghetto quick shop kind of place. What's with the initials? I have no idea - there's P&T, P&S, A&A - ????? Anybody know?
The ham was really good! I never think to order ham - but it was a real treat!
Why Should You Go? It's a cute little diner and if you're up in the Colerain/Northgate area - it's worth a stop. While my review isn't raving - it's very very clean and the service was excellent. They were so friendly and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was - while not my favorite - solid.

|Previous College:
|Bridgewater State 1971
|37th Season
The women's basketball coaches office is located in the Lavietes Pavilion (follow the driving directions to Harvard Stadium.)
Delaney-Smith By the Numbers (Entering 2019-20):
Head Coaching Tenure: 37 Seasons
Overall Record: 602-408 (.596)
Ivy League Record: 354-153 (.698)
Ivy League Titles: 11 (1986, 1988, 1991, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008)
NCAA Tournament Appearances: Six (1996, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2007)
Women's NIT Appearances: Eight (2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019)
The winningest head coach in Ivy League history, The Friends of Harvard Women's Basketball Head Coach Kathy Delaney-Smith will enter her 38th season with Harvard basketball in 2019-20. Delaney-Smith has put Harvard basketball on the map and expanded its reach both nationally and internationally as one of the longest tenured coaches in collegiate women's basketball.
Delaney-Smith's career success cannot be measured by the numbers alone - while, on their own, the numbers are impressive enough. Delaney-Smith owns a 37-year coaching record at Harvard of 602-408 with a 354-153 record in Ivy League play. Those marks include 12 20-win seasons, 11 Ivy titles, a .500 record or better in 30 of the last 31 campaigns and 15 postseason appearances. Her 602 career wins and 408 Ivy League victories are the most of any head coach - men's or women's - in the Ivy League.
Delaney-Smith, one of four active Division I head coaches to spend 37-plus years at one institution, passed Princeton's Pete Carril (514) in overall victories during the 2013-14 season.
With Delaney-Smith leading the way, Harvard has finished lower than fourth in the Ancient Eight only three times and has finished in the top three in the league standings in each of the past 15 years, including shares of the Ivy title in 2005 and 2008 and outright titles in 2002, 2003 and 2007.
She has coached eight Ivy League Players of the Year, including three-time winner Allison Feaster '98 and two-time recipient Hana Peljto '04, six Ivy League Rookies of the Year and 41 first-team All-Ivy League selections. Additionally, all 21 members of Harvard's 1,000 point club have been coached by Delaney-Smith.
Delaney-Smith's involvement in the game on the national level has afforded her the opportunity to coach for USA Basketball three times in her career, including the honor of serving as the head coach of the contingent that won gold at the World University Games in Izmir, Turkey in the summer of 2005. Coaching with Louisiana State's head coach Pokey Chatman and Boston College mentor Cathy Inglese, a dozen of women's college basketball's brightest stars accomplished their mission of bringing home gold for the United States. Delaney-Smith was an assistant coach on the USA Basketball staff at the 2003 FIBA World Championship for Young Women, helping lead the U.S. to a gold medal in that tournament, as well. In 2007, she teamed up with Temple's Dawn Staley and Holy Cross' Bill Gibbons Jr. and coached the USA team to gold at the Pan American Games in Rio de Janerio.
Delaney-Smith has consistently fielded teams that have competed for Ivy titles and taken on formidable opponents on the national basketball scene. Under her tutelage, Harvard has evolved into one of the Northeast's most successful programs. She has directed Harvard to all 11 of its Ivy titles, including the first in school history during the 1985-86 season. In 1996, Delaney-Smith guided the Crimson to its inaugural trip to the NCAA tournament and has brought the Crimson to the NCAAs in five seasons since.
Delaney-Smith and her Crimson team of 1997-98 will forever be the darlings of NCAA lore. The Crimson turned in one of its finest seasons with a record-setting 23-5 overall mark and the first-ever NCAA tournament victory for an Ivy League women's basketball team with a 71-67 win over Stanford. The win halted the Cardinal's 59-game home win streak, and the Crimson became the first No. 16-seed to knock off a No. 1 seed in the history of the men's or women's NCAA basketball tournaments. Delaney-Smith's squad also captured its third straight outright Ivy League title - the first Ivy team to accomplish such a feat.
Harvard has been to the postseason in five of the last six seasons, including in 2018-19 when Delaney-Smith led Harvard to advance to the WNIT, advancing to the second round for the fifth time and hosting two postseason games for the first time in program history.
Delaney-Smith has celebrated career milestones during her recent years with the Crimson, as she earned her 600th career victory during the 2018-19 season, joining a group of just 19 active coaches in Division I with at least 600 wins. Additionally, Harvard announced the endowment of her head coach position as the Friends of Harvard Women's Basketball Head Coach this year, becoming the 23rd head coach position to be endowed at Harvard.
The 2013-14 season was one of more milestones, as Delaney-Smith led Harvard to its 600th program victory – the first team in the Ivy League to pass the plateau – at Brown Feb. 7. Delaney-Smith recorded her 500th victory at Colgate Nov. 23 and passed Carril for most wins by an Ivy League coach.
The 2013-14 squad recorded its 11th 20-win season with a 22-8 record and became the first Ivy League program to receive an at-large berth to a postseason tournament, advancing to the second round of the WNIT for the third-straight season. Winning its first seven games at Lavietes, the Crimson posted its second-longest home win streak in program history (22 games).
The Crimson returned to the WNIT in 2012-13, moving onto the second round for the second consecutive season and fourth time in five years. The Crimson also posted an undefeated record under the roof of Lavietes Pavillion, 11-0, for the second time in program history and first since 1997-98.
In 2011-12, Harvard also became the first Ivy League school to pick up a win in the WNIT when it upset Hofstra, 73-71. The Crimson's appearance in the WNIT was its third in four years and the program's ninth trip to the postseason in 17 years. Harvard also picked up a very impressive victory over the BIG EAST's St. John's during the campaign, topping a Red Storm team which advanced to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 and finished the year ranked 14th by the Associated Press.
Under the direction of Delaney-Smith, the 2002-03 Harvard squad (22-5, 14-0 Ivy) won its second consecutive Ivy League title and the eighth in school history. While the year concluded with a hard-fought 79-69 loss to Kansas State in the first round of the NCAA tournament, it was highlighted by a school-record 16 straight wins, 26 consecutive Ivy League victories and the second undefeated Ivy season in school history.
The Crimson finished the 2001-02 season with a 22-6 overall record and a 13-1 Ivy mark. It was Harvard's sixth 20-win season under Delaney-Smith, and its second-highest win total in school history. Delaney-Smith's squads have finished .500 or better in 16 of the last 17 seasons.
In 2006-07, Delaney-Smith's squad turned a frustrating 2-11 start to the season into an Ivy League championship and a NCAA tournament berth. The Crimson won 12 straight games during Ivy play en route to Delaney-Smith's 10th conference title.
In the 1999-2000 campaign, Delaney-Smith picked up her 250th victory when she guided the Crimson to a win over Sacred Heart in the Harvard Invitational. She then became the first Ivy League women's coach to record 150 Ancient Eight victories with a win over Dartmouth.
Delaney-Smith was named the 1996-97 Ivy League Coach of the Year after her squad recorded a perfect 14-0 conference mark and landed its second straight NCAA appearance. It was the first time in league history that a team had gone undefeated since the institution of double round-robin play in 1982-83.
Delaney-Smith came to Harvard in 1982 after compiling an incredible 204-31 record at Westwood (Mass.) High School, with an unparalleled six undefeated regular seasons and one Massachusetts state title, in addition to 96 straight wins in the regular season. While at Westwood, she coached seven Boston Globe All-Scholastic selections, as well as numerous other players who went on to play in college. She was inducted into the Westwood Hall of Fame in 1996. Prior to her arrival at Harvard, she also served as the New England Junior Olympic Basketball coach from 1980 to 1982.
Delaney Smith has received her fair share of accolades throughout her coaching career, including being named the Boston Herald-American Coach of the Year in 1978-79, and the Boston Globe Coach of the Year in 1979-80. The National High School Coaches Association selected her as Coach of the Year in 1981, and she was the first woman named to the Massachusetts Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame in 1986. The Crimson mentor was also named to the New Agenda Northeast Hall of Fame in 1998.
A 1971 graduate of Bridgewater State, Delaney-Smith was inducted into its Athletic Hall of Fame in October 1999. In addition, Delaney-Smith holds the distinction of being the first Massachusetts high school girl's basketball player to score 1,000 points all while playing for her mother, the late Peg Delaney, at Sacred Heart of Newton.
In recognition of her contribution to the game, Delaney-Smith, along with Feaster, was part of the inaugural class to be inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame in October 2003.
In 1997, she was chosen as a "Leading Woman" by the Patriots' Trail Girl Scout Council, which recognizes women who have succeeded in their professional and public lives. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of the organization. She was also named a 1997 Newton Tab Person of the Year.
In March of 2000, Delaney-Smith received the New England Women's Leadership Award for Sports - another testament to the lives that she has touched through her courage, talents, and accomplishments. The awards were presented by young girls of the Colonel Daniel Marr Boys and Girls Club of Dorchester, who benefit from the leadership of the award winners.
Delaney-Smith was also bestowed with the prestigious Carol Eckman Award at the 2000 Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) convention, held at the Final Four in Philadelphia. The award is presented annually to an active WBCA coach who exemplifies Eckman's spirit, integrity and through sportsmanship, commitment to the student-athlete, honesty, ethical behavior, courage and dedication to purpose. The award is named in honor of the late Carol Eckman, the former West Chester State College coach who is considered the "Mother of the Women's Collegiate Basketball Championship."
Delaney-Smith also served as the chairperson for the Converse Coach of the Year Selection Committee and was honored by Converse as the 1998 Coach of the Year in District I.
Delaney-Smith has been recognized by the Women's Educational and Industrial Union as a "woman who has inspired other women, and has contributed to the quality of life for women and their families." Among her civic involvements is her association with the American Cancer Society, particularly its annual "Relay for Life." Herself a cancer survivor, Delaney-Smith has dedicated much of her spare time to spreading the word of early detection and treatment and has been the featured speaker at several fund-raisers in the Boston area for cancer research. In 2007, she received the Gildna Radnar Award, which recognizes individuals who have demonstrated determination and hope in the face of cancer.
During the summer Delaney-Smith runs a basketball camp, Crimson Elite Weekend at Harvard.
Delaney-Smith resides in Newton, Mass.. Her son, Jared, is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and currently works for Credit Suisse in New York City.

For the past seven years, Darnella Parks and her entire family — from toddler nieces to her 84-year-old grandmother — have attended Artscape. They come for the crafts, the food and, most of all, the live entertainment.
But this year, the 33-year-old Towson resident and her family are skipping Friday's opening night — not because of the heat or the crowds, but because of the music.
Brian McKnight, the 16-time Grammy nominee who for years built a reputation as a clean-cut, R&B ladies' man, is scheduled to take Artscape's main stage Friday night. But lately he's been making headlines for an out-of-character, sexually explicit song, "If Ur Ready to Learn," in which he offers women his extensive knowledge of the female reproductive system.
"Why bring him amid all of this [controversy]? We want to go to Artscape and have a good time," Parks said. "He kind of disgusted me."
The video for "If Ur Ready to Learn," released in late April, quickly spread online, and some longtime fans were offended and perplexed. Suddenly, Artscape's decision to book McKnight became a contentious topic online, catching the attention of the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts, the nonprofit organization responsible for the family-friendly Artscape, billed as the country's largest free arts festival.
After Artscape received backlash for the lyrics of Washington rapper Wale's performance in 2010, events director Sheila Goodwin said, the festival wanted to avoid another controversy and immediately contacted McKnight's manager.
"Of course we were concerned," Goodwin said. McKnight's "management confirmed he would never play that song in concert. Never."
McKnight was booked for the city's annual three-day event a week before the release of his controversial song, according to 24-7 Entertainment talent buyer Paul Manna.
In a recent interview with The Baltimore Sun, McKnight said the song was a parody of the raunchy R&B topping the charts today. But because McKnight sang the song with no indication it was a satire, the joke, for many, was lost in translation.
"If I learned anything from this experiment, it's that people aren't very smart and they take themselves very seriously," McKnight said.
McKnight, who later filmed a second video for the song with the Will Ferrell-owned Funny or Die website, says he will never perform "If Ur Ready to Learn" in concert, including his set at Artscape. He also won't perform "YouPorn Anthem," the more-graphic follow-up song he wrote as a commercial for the adult website of the same name.
"Even though people have been asking for it during shows, 'If Ur Ready to Learn' is a song that's musically incredible to me, but it should only be used in the bedroom," said McKnight, who also said it's one of the cleverest things he's ever written.
The lyrics of "If Ur Ready to Learn" — many of which can't be printed here — are sexually explicit and blunt, a jarring detour for a singer responsible for the modern slow-dance standard "Back at One" and other PG-rated love songs.
"The things you don't know about your physiology, you don't have to be ashamed," McKnight sings. It's a song about female anatomy and how McKnight can be the woman's teacher. The second verse is sung from the perspective of a vibrator, according to McKnight.
Artscape is standing by the decision to book McKnight. Goodwin says the festival had pursued McKnight as a performer for years.
"We've been trying to get him and this year the price was right," she said. "He's a great adult contemporary urban act. He'd be great to have on any bill."
Not everyone agrees.
In a letter to The Sun published online last month, Baltimore resident Brad Smith said he and his family would not attend this year's Artscape unless McKnight's performance was canceled, and that he would "advis[e] everyone I know to do the same."
"Why in the world anyone would think this man to be an appropriate musical act for a wonderful family event like Artscape is beyond me, but it's clear that it is absolutely irresponsible and unacceptable for Artscape's organizers to retain Brian McKnight's 'talents' in any way," Smith wrote.
Although Parks says the "tacky" song didn't personally offend her, she believes promoting McKnight for an event targeting families and children sends the wrong message to the community.
"I'm offended by [Artscape] bringing him," she said.
Smith, Parks and some others are vocal, but their view also appears to be in the minority. Ellise Griffin, a 30-year-old from Mount Vernon who regularly attends Artscape, says she considers McKnight a good choice for the event.
"Despite his most recent songs, which I think are hilarious, he's an excellent writer and singer," Griffin said. "He fits with who's going to be there. They generally have performers that don't have outrageous hits but they're names you recognize."
Some have suggested McKnight's recent, sexually charged output has been an attempt to grab headlines, but McKnight balks at the idea.
"People talk about relevance, but do you think I care about relevance?" he said. "I don't have to talk about my stats." McKnight has multiplatinum albums, but none released since 2003 has sold more than 500,000 copies.
McKnight, who says he's "not very serious about much of anything," considers the controversy to be proof of his sense of humor.
"When Funny or Die called me, it was more validation to myself that I guess I am as funny as I thought," he said. "These are guys who I think are comedic geniuses."
For Parks, McKnight's joke completely missed the mark. It, along with McKnight's defense of the song in interviews and on Twitter, changed her opinion of the singer.
"I had some vision in my mind of the type of person he was, and now that I've seen a little look into his personality, I think he's just creepy," Parks said.

Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake Head Coach Jeff Cassar
On the team's overall performance:
"I felt like things were going good right from the get-go. Right from the first whistle, we kept applied pressure and kept it on. We knew it wasn't going to be an easy game, but we didn't want to let [D.C. United] gain any confidence. We wanted to keep our foot on the gas."
On GK Nick Rimando's performance tonight for his record-setting 113th clean sheet in MLS play:
"I don't really know what to say. What an amazing career so far, but there's so much left for him. It couldn't happen to a better person. He's a leader within our team and locker room. He's a fantastic goalkeeper. It's an amazing individual award, but as I'm sure Nick [Rimando] said, there's a lot of people that were involved in it. I think there's more to come. I think there's a lot more to come."
On how it felt to see an RSL defender finally score this season:
"The players have been working with our staff. Tonight, it really happened for us. It starts with excellent service from Javi [Morales], then it finishes with committed and aggressive runs in the box. Two fantastic finishes from Chris [Schuler]. It's something we've been working on – both offensively and defensively – and tonight was a great night for it."
On whether the 2013 U.S. Open Cup final loss to D.C. United served as motivation for tonight:
"It wasn't really on my mind too much. It was more on my heart, just that feeling that they came here and beat us and won a trophy on our field. That wasn't really our focus. Our focus was on ourselves, in getting three points, and getting back to where we want to be – that's the MLS playoffs and the MLS Cup."
On the performances of DF Abdoulie Mansally and DF Carlos Salcedo:
"They were both very good, very good. The first little bit was a little bit rough for [Abdoulie] Mansally – a couple of balls I wasn't pleased with. His reaction after that was fantastic. He really got forward at the right times. It was a smart game from him in those regards. Carlos [Salcedo], to have to step into a position that he typically isn't familiar with, right now is playing with a lot of confidence. He came into the Colorado game, had a fantastic performance, then carried that into the Homegrown All-Star Game, had another solid performance, then moved right into this game. Carlos [Salcedo] is feeling confident right now. Our whole back line is feeling confident. It was just amazing for [Salcedo and Mansally] to step into that situation."
On how his club recovered from a rough May/June stretch:
"It's just staying focused. The guys are staying focused, they're working on a few things. We're learning from our mistakes in the past, and everyone is unbelievably committed right now – on both sides of the ball. It's helping out our offense and it's helping out our defense. I think it's just everyone coming together right now. We just want to stay humble and keep working hard."
On why he believes GK Nick Rimando's future is still bright:
"He's taking care of his body, and as long as he's staying healthy and fit, I'm sure there's a lot more performances like tonight. He's been working hard with Daryl Shore, our goalkeeper coach, and they're starting to build a really nice relationship. Our back line is very good right now. Our whole team is playing good team defense, so I expect more shutouts. I expect more good performances from the team."
On why MF Javier Morales came off during the second half:
"He took a knock. He gave me that look, like he was going to be fine, and then I think he went another three or four minutes, then had to come off. I haven't spoken to him, I haven't spoken to the trainers, but it looks like it had something to do with a hip pointer. We'll evaluate him tonight and tomorrow to see how he's doing."
Real Salt Lake GK Nick Rimando
On getting the record against D.C.:
"It doesn't really make a difference that I got it against D.C. It's good to have a friend in town, in Ben [Olsen]. We had breakfast this morning. As much as he didn't want me to get that shutout, I know he's proud of me. It shows that he is a class guy that losing the way he did, that he still came over and congratulated me. Obviously getting the win is very important. D.C. is a team that I have a lot of respect for and have a lot of memories there. D.C. or any other team in the league, as long as I got the record."
On the momentum gained from the win vs. Colorado:
"We had a sense of movement off the ball and confidence on the field that we haven't had for a while. I think a game like that, in Colorado, against our rivals, with ten [players] does change seasons. Being ten men down, being on the road, those are the kinds of games that you need to win in MLS and I think it definitely carried over today."
On his sense of relief after getting the record to himself:
"First of all, I don't think that any shutout is just for myself. I might have my name on the shutout but it's a committed effort from the team. This is not only my record. My name is on it but there are a lot of guys that should be getting credit for this too. Nat Borchers, Eddie Pope, Ryan Nelson, Chris Schuler, Tony Beltran, there are a lot of players. Man, I've been around a long time. But there are a lot of people that need to get credit for the record that I achieved tonight."
On what we can expect from him in the future:
"I think I'm in good form right now. I'm happy, I'm fit, I feel like I can help any team. Especially playing with Real Salt Lake, it comes naturally being on that field. I feel good and I don't see myself slowing up any time soon."
Real Salt Lake DF Chris Schuler
On notching a brace for his first goals of the season:
"You know it feels pretty good when you can go up early in the game and we're able to control it for the entire game since we got those big goals early."
On shutting down the attack of D.C.:
"I thought that they had a lot of threats. Eddie Johnson is one of the top forwards in the league in my book and I mean [Fabian] Espindola was out here for so long. It feels really good to shut those guys out, especially for 90 minutes. For Nicky [Rimando], too, breaking the all-time shutout record."
On jumping ahead of Seattle in the Western Conference:
"It shows that we're playing consistent. It's a long MLS season; it's not easy to stay on the gas the whole time. Being on top of the table is always a good thing. At any point in time it's good to be in first place. Seattle has been playing really well and that is a testament to the quality that they have so it's going to be a good game."
Real Salt Lake DF Carlos Salcedo
On the upcoming game against Xolos Tijuana:
"They're a pretty good team. They have good players up top, and I've watched a couple of games from La Liga, so I think they're coming here to play their game. That is to knock the ball around. They're good on their wins."
On what RSL needs to do in order to win the Tijuana game:
"We just need to do what we have been doing, which is to keep the zero and I think that's going to lead us to win the game, because we just need one chance and one goal to win the game. We need good possession like we've been having the last couple of week."
On thoughts on play against a familiar team and old friends:
"I was just talking to Nat [Borchers] about that. I would love to play that game, because I have a couple of friends on Xolos, and that would be great for me to play in that game. I know teammates from the national team as well from Xolos."
D.C. United
D.C. United Head Coach Ben Olsen
On the match as a whole:
"It was an extremely poor first half, obviously. We were just off the pace. They came in hungrier than we did; they came in with more energy, more commitment, and we're not a good enough team to not have a chip on our shoulder when we play. I think hopefully we learned that lesson tonight. I want to congratulate Nick Rimando. There's nobody better to have that award. He's a dear friend and I'm extremely excited for him."
On giving up two set piece goals:
"It's not like us. We've been pretty good with that stuff this year. Again, it's just important to learn from this and move on to try and fix it next week."
On if the altitude affected his team at all:
D.C. United MF Lewis Neal
On the experience of returning to face Real Salt Lake:
"Obviously, coming back to Salt Lake, I have some good memories from last season, but they were soon wiped away after tonight's performance. [Real] Salt Lake came out, as we knew they would, firing on all cylinders. [They scored] a flood of goals, we started so slow and so sluggish. We were climbing a heavy mountain then, and we didn't turn up tonight at all. None of our guys were up to standards that we have been most of the season. Overall, pretty good memories, but tonight, leaving with a bit of a sour taste in our mouths."
On giving up a couple set piece goals:
"It's just as a team, we've got to make sure we're picking our guys up - our marks we've been given before the game, and make sure that we don't let them get to the ball. [They had] good deliveries in, and [Chris] Schuler's not an easy guy to defend, in all fairness, to anybody. He's got that physique, and the height, and the strength to get up and power the ball in the back of the net like he did. It's not always easy. We've got to do better on those situations."
On if the altitude affected them at all:
"I think we were pretty good - we can't use that as an excuse. I think everyone felt pretty good in that respect."
On what specifically they need to improve looking ahead:
"We've got a hell of schedule coming up. We've just got to make sure, as much as this hurts - the defeat here and the performance is not good - we've got to try and put this one behind us very, very quickly. Move on to the home game against Colorado, and we play Champions' League midweek - you know, two home games and we've got to make sure we're back firing on all cylinders and make sure we go out there and get the points because we've got a very, very tough road trip - KC, LA, NY so it's going to be difficult period for us."
D.C. United FW Fabian Espindola
On coming back to his former MLS club:
"It feels great. It's good to be back here. I always liked the people here, so it's great to be back."
On the match as a whole:
"I think we had no chance against them. [They are] great with the ball. They managed the entire game. They were the better team."
On conceding a couple set piece goals:
"Set pieces are sometimes tough. You lose your mark, half a mistake, and the ball is in, so I don't think we did great, and then the one that [Chris] Schuler scored - he's huge."
On what they need to improve moving forward:
"After this game, we've got to do everything better."

Never miss another jab
25 April 2014 -- Immunization prevents an estimated 2-3 million deaths every year. Yet 1 in 5 children still misses out. As working parents, there is often so much to juggle at home and professionally that it is all too easy for vaccinations to fall off of the 'to do' list. WHO has helped develop a new app that contains information on vaccines, the diseases they prevent and the immunization schedule of the country.
Measles: know the risks, check your status, protect yourself
22 April 2014 -- Measles is a highly contagious, serious disease caused by a virus. In 1980, before widespread vaccination, measles caused an estimated 2.6 million deaths each year. It remains one of the leading causes of death among young children globally, despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine. This fact file examines measles within the context of World Immunization Week (24-30 April) and this year's slogan: "Immunize for a healthy future: Know, Check, Protect".
World Immunization Week 2014: Know, Check, Protect
17 April 2014 -- Immunize for a healthy future: Know, Check, Protect. This is the message of this year's World Immunization Week, on 24-30 April. This short video encourages you to ask your local health clinic which vaccines you need, check whether your vaccinations are up-to-date, and to get the vaccines you need, when you need them.
World Immunization Week 2014: pick your poster, spread the word
24 March 2014 -- Immunization protects against an increasing number of diseases, from infancy to old age. With the slogan "Immunize for a healthy future: Know, Check, Protect" for this year's World Immunization Week, we encourage you to check whether you and your family are up-to-date with the vaccines you need. Help us spread the word by choosing one or more posters from our online, multilingual toolbox. Print, post in your office, school, or health-care centre, and share on social media to make this year's campaign truly global.

Rich guys who blow all their money on expensive whores
Rich guys who blow all their money on expensive whores are a very important part of a healthy economy. It is estimated by the World Economy Organization that tens of billions of dollars are spent annually on expensive whores. This helps to spur the economy because the money spent on whores goes to support the lingerie and lipstick industries, and the money that is given to pimps is spent on
fancy obnoxious clothing, over-sized clocks, shades, spinners for cars, canes, and dental work. This money, in turn, trickles down to the rest of the economy.
The effect is so powerful that it is believed that the most recent recession in the United States was caused by a pro-abstinence program pandering to rich people in hopes of championing (and thereby donating large heaps of cash to) their cause. The group reported a 75 percent pledge rate among the rich in 2008, although whether the rich, sex addicted playboys actually held to their word is not known.
The Painful Aftermath of Rich Abstinence[edit]
The sudden drop in whore employment created disastrous results. One in five whores died of either starvation or knife-induced layoffs. Asian whores, trannies, and midgets particularly experienced a dramatic death toll of 83 percent. Researchers in the field agree that this is due to the higher price of these specialty groups, because a person can get a regular old fatty brunette practically anywhere.
As pimps had less money to spend on giant clocks and spinners, the automotive and watch industries took a nose dive. Rolex had to fire 30 percent of its workforce, and many inner city dentists permanently closed up shop. This lack of nearby dentistry created additional health problems with consumers, as good dentistry became both difficult to find and more expensive. Adding to the misery of the whores, dental premiums became unaffordable, due to the high volume of work they had in the past. Before rich abstinence, most high quality whores visited the dentist two or three times a week, because of a mix of issues, including damages after servicing well endowed or eccentric rich men, as well as check-ups to inspect for herpes.
Insurance companies also took a hit. Rich people who blow all their money on expensive whores tend to have very high insurance rates due to their risk of spreading disease. They are also less likely to have any qualms about spending whatever cash is necessary to keep their health in line. With the advent of rich abstinence, however, insurance prices increased for the regular Joe Blow Schmoes.
It even caused gas prices to rise...
Societal Snubbing[edit]
Many rich guys who blow all their money on expensive whores are looked down on by certain members of society for their excessive consumerism and loose morals. The main groups offended include churches, schools, [1] and rich wives.
The people who do shun rich playboys are often times unaware of the positive side effects of such behavior. All three of the above mentioned groups can benefit in some way from a rich guy blowing his money on whores. Whores, while promiscuous, like to believe that they have some good in them too. Because of this psychological need to feel better about themselves, whores flock to the church like they're giving away semen-flavored lollipops.
For some reason, whores tend to have a lot of babies, and these babies eventually grow to be small children. Small children tend to need to go to school. When a rich person blows a lot of money on a whore, that woman is likely to spend her middle age, non-whoring, floopy dessert cooch years trying to regain her self-respect by participating more in the local community. There is no better way for a parent to do this than to financially support her school. Ex-whores are one of the biggest supporters of after-school activities, as well as of course sex education.
As for the wives of rich people who blow all their money on expensive whores, it seems as though it is all downside to be in this situation. Nothing could be further from the truth. The majority of rich wives do not marry for love in the first place, but for money and/or political power. There is a kind of silent agreement between rich couples that they'll only pretend to love each other in public so that it is easier to get elected mayor or get their kids into Yale. Most rich wives are quite happy alone at home with their soaps and will actually kick their rich husbands out of the house so that they can actually get some sleep and not be kept up all night by snoring. This also serves as a blank check for their rich spouses in return to procreate with whomever they gosh darn well feel like, although usually they just drink bourbon and pass out half naked somewhere in their mansions. [2]
The Cuban Missile Crisis was narrowly averted when then president John F. Kennedy presented Fidel Castro with a "peace offering" of an expensive whore. Castro enjoyed the whore so much that he immediately converted to democracy. [citation needed] [3]
Additional positive outcomes to rich guys blowing all their money on expensive whores[edit]
Disease Control[edit]
Because rich people have the money to have their whores vaccinated, rich people who blow all their money on expensive whores help to prevent the spread of STD's. [4]
The Gay whales in Darfur[edit]
It is a little known fact that most expensive whores have a soft spot in their callous, abused hearts for the gay whales in Darfur, who they feel they share a kind of isolated kinship with. Many whores frequently compare their own distress to the distress of the gays whales, and hence frequently contribute to the cause.
At first glance it may seem strange that an entire subgroup of the world's population, whores namely, would have such a compassion with the creatures when there's no precedent for it. Scientists at the Darfurian Gay Whale Association say they are still researching this phenomena but it is taking longer than expected due to lack of research funds, such as money to keep both psychologists and the people they are polling fed long enough to extract information.
The scientists do say that having a compassion for the Gay Whales in Darfur is not uncommon among most subgroups, because the whole thing is just "Sad, so very very sad." After all the Gay Whales in Darfur are whales that are gay and live in Darfur. Who wouldn't have compassion on them?
Preventing War[edit]
Since rich people usually have a profound influence in politics, rich people who don't get laid tend to use politics as their alternative Freudian outlet, which is why many politicians talk of the need to "carpet bomb" countries, or "waterboard" terrorists. They also enjoy shooting stuff and invading, which exemplifies further Freudian symbolism.
When politicians are able to have sex in real life, the need to "do it" to the rest of the world shrinks. This explains why the United States currently is in a state of constant war. If these particular rich men blew all their money on whores, international relations in the United States would dramatically improve.
Sexually Conspicuous Consumption[edit]
It has been said that money makes the world go around. More accurately, shit-tons of money arbitrarily stuffed down the asshole of Nancy the hooker in a Motel 8 in Nevada, room 372[5] is likely the solution for many problems in the near future.
Without the blind, reckless, lust of many rich people, the economy would likely be in even worse shape than it is currently. And these negative effects on the economy would trickle down onto the rest of the world. We experience many of the blessings we do today because of rich people blowing their money on expensive whores, and we have much to be grateful for.
- ↑ but only if the rich people do it near a school, which happens more often than you think.
- ↑ This once happened with Hilary Clinton and her butler hid a few dollars in her ass as a joke. The joke backfired because the next day she gave it to him as a tip.

Clay Aiken Gossip
Clay Aiken gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Celebrities Holding The Mic
Rick Davis/ Splash News
I've been the first to say we should treat entertainers like entertainers, not role models. But in the wake of the Orlando massacre, there are reactions that make me think that, sometimes, I should revise my opinion – including my opinion on some of the stars having the reactions in the first place. Full Story
Gaybe Claybe made a Baby???
Shiloh Jolie Pitt! TMZ is reporting that Clay Aiken will be a father. The baby mother's name is Jaymes Foster. Just to clarify, because in this case there should be clarification, Jaymes is a woman. A Woman. Full Story
Kelly Ripa hates the Maybe Gaybe Claybe
Last week I received a piece of critique mail from someone defending Maybe Gaybe Claybe – saying that my comparison of Aiken to the KFed was unwarranted, that while KFed is a talentless golddigging piece of sh-t, Clay has worked hard and gives back and has already addressed repeatedly the question of his sexuality and as such, does not deserve to be lumped into the same Federline category. Full Story
KFed: the Black Marker Message
Praise Goddess – I think this just cost him $5 million. AT LEAST. Today is a great day. Today we learned that KFed is poh. Today we learned that he can't afford to eat, that he has to resort to smuggling booze out of restaurants because he's too broke to pay for his own. And today we learned via Us Weekly that this piece of sh-t left a very pointed message for Britney on his dressing room door in Chicago – a true poet he is: Today I'm a free man Ladies look out F--k a wife Give me my kids B-tch! --Kevin Federline But let"s not be angry, gossips. Full Story
KFed & The Clay
So what do KFed and Clay Aiken have in common? On the surface…not much. Kevin doesn't troll the web for cock, although he pimps himself in other ways. And while I don't know whose music is worse, something tells me Clay's peculiar brand of elevator cheese isn't exactly what Federation Records has in mind. Full Story
Hugh Jackman: A new candidate for SMA
And a new candidate has emerged. Click here for People's latest video leading up to the unveiling on November 17. While all the previously listed frontrunners are also included, Hugh's image is the last to appear, leading many to believe that McDreamy's rash of bad press has resulted in a set of new odds with Jackman leading the way. Full Story
ClayClay in Canada
I normally stay away from Clay Aiken, partly because his appeal is America-restricted, mostly because his fans are a whole new dimension of crazy that makes the others seem downright high-functioning. I mean, these are people who call themselves Claymates, women who have repeatedly laid eyes on him and felt loin quiveration. Full Story
Team Aniston"s clever spin
Without a doubt, the biggest story of the day: Us Weekly"s bold pronouncement that Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn are engaged. Not exactly a surprise considering it"s been building for months now but what WAS surprising was the fanfare surrounding the report and the clever way it"s been launched around the world.

Wireless LAN best practices
In part one of this series, security expert Roberta Bragg discussed wireless security features. In this article, Bragg provides the steps to a more secure wireless LAN.
In part one of this article, I told you that you must evolve wireless security on all fronts. It does little good to harden one area of your system only to have something untoward happen in some other area. And the holes, or potential holes, are legion.
This sounds like a daunting task, but the good news is that you may already have much of your security in place. Here are the steps to a more secure wireless LAN.
Host systems: You have specific security technologies for host protection, and you have to apply them. Unfamiliarity with wireless technologies doesn't mean you needn't apply sound security practices to your network, your user community and especially the host systems themselves.
Think untrusted network!
You wouldn't put Windows clients or servers unprotected on the Internet, so you shouldn't expose them to a wireless network either. Specifically, remember to harden NTFS and registry permissions, not to use the FAT file system, to use group policy to apply strong account policies for accounts (local account databases exist -- they need strong account polices as well), to reduce user rights and to set security options that protect the system. Consider using the user access right to the system from the network to establish a group, say the local administrators group, that will be the only group able to access this computer from the network. If the host is a server, consider establishing a group that includes only those who should be connecting to it. Remember also, if wireless networks open holes to your internal network, it may be time to implement those host-security lockdown policies for all machines, not just those with wireless network cards. A good guide that teaches host-based security is the Microsoft Security Operations Guide.
Finally, remember that when Alice connects her computer to an access point (AP), it's the same as if she had cabled it to a hub; she's on a LAN with every other wireless networked computer that has a connection to the AP. A personal firewall on Alice's computer will go a long way toward protecting her system. Alternatively, you might consider an IPsec policy that allows only approved protocols in to and out of Alice's machine.
Network defense: Unless the wireless LAN is self-contained -- a small network in a meeting room without Internet connections, for example -- the AP is connected to some network. It serves as a bridge for wireless clients to enable their connections to your local wired network. So think of it as just that -- a bridge from "untrusted" to "trusted." It's not that you should immediately consider all wireless users in your organization untrustworthy; it's the unwanted connections you want to avoid. To do so, use 802.1x where you can, and set up a VPN where you can't. That way, "Ian the Intruder" may be able to make a connection to the AP but will not be able to access your network, because he cannot provide appropriate credentials to either the VPN or the RADIUS server.
You may also consider setting up a firewall. Just remember that placement is important here. If a single firewall is available, you don't want to put the firewall between the AP and users attempting to connect to it. Instead, you want the firewall between the AP and your internal network.
Wireless LAN configuration: Use 802.1x if it's available. If it's not, configure WEP. Yes, the protocol is crackable, but it still can provide a reasonable speed bump to would-be listeners. Those cracking programs have to capture a lot of data before they can work, and not every wireless script kiddie will have the tools or the patience to use them. It's like the locks that most of us have on our front doors. No serious burglar has a problem getting past them, but we still lock our doors, because we know we're going to keep most people out, and because it doesn't take much effort to turn the latch as we exit the house.
Unlike your door lock, WEP can even have its keys changed easily -- and you should have them changed. I know that doesn't scale well, but think of the tons of small businesses that have only a few legitimate clients -- places where expensive third-party tools or new hardware and software are out of the question. Change the SSID from the factory default, for goodness' sake!
If you can, turn off the SSID broadcast. Users who need to connect should know the SSID or have it preconfigured in their clients. If you can, configure clients with static IP addresses and turn off DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) on the AP. Don't give the attacker a free address on your network. Where DHCP must be used, limit the scope to the number of clients you have. Why provide extra addresses for would-be attackers? Reserve addresses for specific systems if you can. Require a MAC address for access. Granted, MAC addresses can be spoofed, but first an attacker has to determine which MAC addresses are legal. That's not going to be easy for most people.
Use data encryption on the files stored on the host. If an attacker does get past your defenses, that makes it harder for him to get any useful information. Just please, please, read the information about saving encryption keys, and then follow through -- save the encryption keys to avoid data loss.
Special protection for mobile systems: One aspect of wireless security that few people are bothering to address is the hazard of toting a wireless network card-equipped laptop, PDA or other device. Wireless APs are appearing in airports, coffee shops, convention centers and other public gathering places. In addition, many private APs are connect-able from public places. Who's to judge whether all users connecting to these APs have the best of intentions? When users access these stations, they expose their systems to intrusions. Strong host protection and a personal firewall are the bare minimum that should be enforced here. In addition, pay special attention to the configuration of the client. Windows XP, for example, by default, automatically attempts to locate a nearby wireless LAN and discover the necessary information for configuration. An attack could be in progress and result in a successful compromise long before the user even knows the system is available. If possible, turn off wireless cards when users are not at their home offices or when they can connect to "friendly" APs.
And, if users must access networks in hazardous territories, have them carry an extra hard drive, one that is configured with a locked-down OS and little else. Users can surf the provided facilities and access the Internet, but no corporate data is exposed on their systems. This is actually a technique used by security gurus at security conferences; they want to see what's going on, but they don't want to compromise their systems.
User education: Don't forget that a lot of your problems with wireless security will come not from managed APs and locked-down hosts but from rogue APs hidden by users under their desks, or provided by individual departments in conference rooms. You should, of course, be monitoring for these systems, but user education can prevent their implementation. Knowledgeable users are your best frontline defense. If they have an appreciation for the risks and know how to mitigate them, I think you'll find them willing participants.
You should also have a security policy that addresses the issue of who implements a wireless LAN and what its minimal configurations should be. Still, you're going to need to keep an eye out for them and rip them out of your network when found.
Don't be tempted to think that, if you follow these recommendations, you'll have secured your wireless infrastructure. Nothing could be farther from the truth, for two reasons. First, technology is just changing so fast that you could let the security gap widen because of lack of knowledge or complacency. Second, other wireless technologies exist and require their own security standards, and you'll have to be aware of them. But that is a subject for another time.

Tunisia has avoided large-scale turbulence since protests toppled dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali two years ago, but a political shoving match that prompted Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali to resign last night shows how complicated democratic change can be.
Mr. Jebali's decision was brought on in large part by opposition from within his own party. His move adds a new wobble to political shakiness that – coupled with periodic rioting and labor strikes – has prolonged an economic slump and sense of disorder. Tourism and foreign investment are down, and unemployment is up.
Hours before Jebali announced his resignation, Standard and Poor's rating agency downgraded Tunisia's credit rating for the third time since Mr. Ben Ali's removal: from BB to BB-.
Resolving such problems requires long-term policies that are all the more difficult to maintain amid political ups-and-downs, says Henry Smith, a North Africa analyst at Control Risks, a British risk assessment firm.
"Ministerial changes, unease among civil servants, and bureaucratic delays will continue to slow business operations, while the causes of security threats will be unmet during this period," Mr. Smith says.
For now, the immediate future is murky. Jebali may be asked to return, or someone else might take over. Meanwhile, a new constitution and preparations for elections expected this summer are long overdue.
Cultural clash
Tunisia's current trouble goes back at least two years. Demonstrations over unemployment and corruption became an uprising against Ben Ali's two-decade rule. He fled the country in January 2011 as his regime collapsed.
Overnight, a culture war broke out between secularists and the moderate Islamist Ennahda (Al Nahda) party. Ennahda ultimately formed a coalition government with two secularist parties after winning October 2011 elections.
Today, many say that government has failed. Ennahda has taken most of the heat. Opposition parties accuse it of lenience toward violent groups, from hardline Salafi Muslims to unruly pro-government demonstrators. Ordinary Tunisians increasingly blame it for economic malaise.
Ennahda has also refused a demand since last summer from its coalition partners – the Congrès pour la République (CPR) and Ettakatol parties – that it relinquish powerful ministries, including foreign affairs and justice.
Tunisian tempers snapped on Feb. 6 after an unknown gunman killed Chokri Belaid, an opposition party leader and fervent government critic. Thousands hit the streets in protest, with some blaming Ennahda and many calling for a new government.
For Jebali, the crisis warranted desperate measures. He proposed replacing the government with a caretaker cabinet of apolitical technocrats – bypassing a possible vote by Tunisia's constituent assembly – to steer the country to elections. He pledged to step down if too many parties opposed him.
The stiffest challenge came from his own party, Ennahda. It wants a mixed cabinet of technocrats and politicians subject to a vote by the assembly, where it holds 89 of 217 seats. The CPR also rejected Jebali's proposal.
Some other parties backed Jebali, while still more have appeared to vacillate. The Ettakatol party first warmed to his proposal, then backed off. Nida Tounes, a rising opposition force, supported it at first but later said it recognized the proposal had failed.
Last night Jebali went on TV to admit his proposal's defeat and announce his resignation.
"This is a big disappointment," he said. "Our people are disillusioned by the political class. We must restore confidence."
'Little Constitution' not up to the task
What might happen next is unclear – an ambiguity compounded by Tunisia's lack of a constitution. The country runs, for now, on a temporary procedural law often known here as the "Little Constitution."
"The problem is that the scenario of a prime minister resigning isn't envisaged," says Amna Guellali, a trained lawyer and Tunis-based researcher for Human Rights Watch.
In theory, either articles 15 of the Little Constitution (on forming a government) or 19 (on removing it by no-confidence vote in the assembly) might be applied, Ms. Guellali says. "But there's no consensual understanding of how this would take place."
Jebali's fortunes are also in question. In theory, he may be asked to return at the head of a new government. For now, he remains Ennahda's secretary general and appears to have the party's support, even if his proposal does not.
Parties from across the spectrum agree broadly that a new government line-up is needed. Many including Ennahda say they want to form a broad coalition to build the next cabinet.
Yesterday Jebali expressed openness to leading a new government provided it was free of partisan power-plays and made finishing the constitution and holding elections its top priorities.
But even these, while necessary, are only a start to solving problems, says Mr. Smith, from Control Risks. "Fragmented party politics, fragile coalition governments, and structural socio-economic problems will drive instability beyond the transition."

Hang Fire and Misfire Situations
Sometimes a muzzleloader will not fire immediately when the trigger is pulled. This is known as "hang fire" and requires great caution because the gun might fire some time after the cap or flint created the initial sparks.
Other times a muzzleloader may not fire at all. This is known as a "misfire" and also requires great caution.
Keep these safety tips in mind if a hang fire or misfire occurs.
- Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction, preferably downrange.
- Don't take it anywhere that it could injure someone or damage property if it fires.
- If a muzzleloader doesn't fire properly, consider obtaining help from an experienced shooter to unload it using a ball discharger.
Some types of firearms may be discharged by an inexperienced shooter as follows if caution is used.
