IT Weaknesses Paved the Way for Target Hackers
Jan 30, 2014 2:29 PM PT
The Target data breach exposed more than 100 million customers, riled up the United States' intelligence agencies, sparked an investigation by the Justice Department, involved the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, triggered several congressional hearings, and led several banks to re-issue their credit cards.
The hacker has variously been identified as a 17-year-old Russian or one or more other cybercriminals.
The hack apparently consisted of a drive-by SQL injection -- one of the most common attack vectors -- that took advantage of a default password in a third party's IT management software that was used by Target.
There is no such thing as perfect security, but "It is becoming clear that senior management at Target have not embraced security holistically," Craig Speizle, president of the Online Trust Alliance, told the E-Commerce Times.
"All merchants and retailers need to develop defense models to help prevent, detect and isolate a breach incident. Based on public data, it appears Target failed in these efforts," Speizle said.
Target declined to comment for this story.
"We are in the midst of an active and ongoing investigation," spokesperson Molly Snyder told the E-Commerce Times.
How the Hack Went Down
The hackers used memory-scraping malware known as "Reedum," marketed in underground cybercriminal markets as "BlackPOS," according to press reports.
Once the malware enters a system, it can gather credit card information in real time.
The malware reportedly penetrated Target's systems through a default password -- BackupU$r -- in the Best1_user sysadmin account within BMC Software's Performance Assurance for Microsoft Servers application, according to Krebsonsecurity.com.
It then reportedly set up a server in Target's infrastructure to receive all the stolen credit card information.
What's a BlackPOS?
BlackPOS is aimed at point-of-sale systems. Its creator has variously been reported to be a 17-year-old or a 23-year-old, both Russians.
It was used last March to compromise thousands of U.S. bank customers' payment cards. Back then, it was being offered in underground forums as "Dump Memory Grabber by Ree."
BlackPOS infects Windows POS systems that have card readers attached. Once it enters a POS system, it steals payment card Track 1 and Track 2 data, which is information stored on credit cards' magnetic strips. The data can be used to clone the cards.
The stolen data is then uploaded to a remote server by FTP.
Retailers' Security Travails
Sysadmins "either write passwords down or don't change the default ones -- or if they do change them, [they] pick a simple password that they use over and over again," said Michael Suby, a vice president of research at the Stratecast service of Frost & Sullivan.
"If somebody gets into one system, they will probably succeed in getting into multiple doors," he told the E-Commerce Times.
Retailers have relied on PCI compliance to protect credit card information and transactions, but they are vulnerable to advanced cyberthreats, noted Chris Fedde, president of Hexis Cyber Solutions.
Further, they have multiple points of vulnerability, including credit cards, POS terminals and widely distributed networks, he said.
Redressing the Problem
Retailers need to train employees to ensure they are not easy targets, and to implement network perimeter protection like that used in other industries, Fedde suggested.
A vulnerability that's "specifically applicable to Target-like attacks," he told the E-Commerce Times, "consists of security products that sit inside the network and are custom-designed to find and remove the advanced persistent threats now preying on retailers."

Story highlights
- Dubai police deny any torture took place
- Rights group says the three have been tortured and held for seven months
- First hearing was scheduled for Thursday
- It was postponed because witnesses failed to appear
Three British men on holiday in the United Arab Emirates were beaten and subjected to electric shocks by police following their arrest on drug charges last July, a prisoners' rights group claims.
British citizens Grant Cameron, Karl Williams and Suneet Jeerh, all ages 25, have been in detention in Dubai for more than seven months.
They were arrested on charges of possession of the synthetic cannabis, "spice," according to Reprieve, a UK-based organization that provides legal support to prisoners.
Dubai police denied any torture took place.
The suspects were expected to be in a Dubai court Thursday morning for a first hearing in the case, said Marc Calcutt, a lawyer with Reprieve.
But the hearing was postponed until March 14 because witnesses failed to appear, Calcutt said.
Williams told Calcutt about the alleged abuse by Dubai police that he said occurred in a hotel room and the desert when the lawyer visited Dubai and was given "informal access" to Williams and Cameron.
"I remember that the police put a towel on my face so I could not see. They kept telling me I was going to die," Williams said in a statement released by Reprieve. "Then they took off the towel and I could see that there was a gun pointed at my head ... I started to believe that I was going to die in that room."
At one point, the police pulled his pants down and zapped his testicles with electric shocks, Williams alleged
The men were also pressured to sign documents in Arabic, without translation, after multiple beatings, Reprieve alleged.
The UK Foreign Office said it is aware of the allegations.
"We can confirm that we have been providing consular assistance to three British nationals detained in the UAE since July 2012. We have also been in close contact with Reprieve," the Foreign Office said. "The FCO takes all allegations of mistreatment and torture extremely seriously. With the individual's consent, we raise allegations of mistreatment with the relevant authorities and request that they conduct a full impartial and independent investigation."
The men are charged with consumption, which holds a minimum sentence of four years, and possession with intent to distribute, which could lead to 15 years in prison, Calcutt said. If they are charged with trafficking, they could face the death penalty.
Williams and Cameron came to Dubai to visit Jeerh who had moved there from the UK six weeks earlier, according to Calcutt. The three were driving a hired car and when they reached Jeerh's apartment building they were arrested. The three allege they were then taken to the desert and subsequently to William and Cameron's hotel where they claim the beatings and electric shocks occurred.
Calcutt also claims that Williams' hand was kicked until it was broken and says he has X-rays to prove it.

Q: I am new to Harvard Online Auctions. How do I
A: Once you find an item you wish to place a bid on, simply enter your bid amount and then input the information needed thereafter. You MUST enter a valid credit card or else your bid will not be confirmed. When you are finished and have submitted correct information, you will receive a confirmation email.
Q: What are the system requirements needed to use Harvard Online Auctions?
A: Any browser can access the Harvard Online Auctions page. If you are having difficulties viewing the page, please send an email to email@example.com
Q: Does it cost to register for Harvard Online Auctions?
A: Not at all. Once you have submitted your first bid amount, your credit card will not be charged until the auction ends and your bid has been named the winner.
Q: Do I need a credit card to place a bid?
A: Yes, but you will only be billed if you bid on and win an auction.
Q: Why didn't I receive my confirmation e-mail after I registered?
A: After you submitted your registration form and bid, you should have received a confirmation e-mail. This process ensures that your e-mail address is valid. You should receive your registration confirmation message within minutes of submitting your bid.
If you did not receive this e-mail, please return to Harvard Online Auctions, login to your account, and verify that you entered your e-mail address correctly; update as necessary.
If you still do not receive this e-mail or need us to re-send it, please email email@example.com.
Q: What are your Terms & Conditions?
A: Harvard reserves the right to set minimum bids, to withdraw any item from auction at any time, for any reason, and to postpone, delay, interrupt, or cancel any auction for any reason, at any time. Harvard does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to its services, and operation of this Site may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of its control, including but not limited to telecommunications network disruptions. Further, Harvard does not guarantee the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of any information on this Site or the results of your use of this Site. Neither Harvard nor any third party provider or distributor (including but not limited to any Harvard, university partner, conference partner, or other partner) shall be responsible for any damage related to any technical problem that results in your bid being omitted or in an auction failing to properly function.
By bidding on an auction item the user agrees to have their credit card billed and complete the transaction. Should the bid placed by a User be the winning bid, the User will have their credit card charged for the amount of the winning bid price and any shipping, handling, taxes, or special charges noted in the auction description. If the credit card is denied, Harvard Auctions will attempt to contact the User to arrange alternative payment, however it will be the sole responsibility of the User to arrange alternative payment. If a credit card is denied, Harvard Auctions will have no obligation to the User with the winning bid and, at Harvard's sole discretion, will have the right to re-list the auction item(s), and/or offer the auction item to the next highest bidder.
Q: What if I forgot my Password?
A: On the sign in page, click on the link "Forgot Password?". You will need to enter the email address that is associated with your account. An email will be sent to that address with the password.
Q: Can I update my registration information?
A: Yes. Simply log in to your account, review your information, and make any necessary changes.
Q: How do I bid on an item I am interested in?
A: When you have located an item you are interested in, click on the item's title link to see its listing page.
On each item listing page there is a field for "Your Bid" as well as a minimum amount that you must enter. Once you have entered in a valid amount, click on "Place Bid".
If you are not already logged in to the system, you will be prompted to either create a new account or log in with an existing account. You will be notified by e-mail if another bidder has surpassed your maximum bid.
When reviewing an item's Bid History after having placed a bid, you should reload, or refresh, your browser so that it displays the most current bid status information. This is especially important during the final minutes of an auction when you should refresh your browser frequently (every 3 - 5 secs).
Q: Do I need to use a credit card to bid?
A: Yes. To ensure fair bidding, a valid credit card will be required to bid on any item. Your credit card information is required only for the first time you place a bid on Harvard Online Auctions. All additional bids will not require credit card verification.
By providing your valid credit card information, you authorize Harvard Online Auctions to authorize your credit card account for $1.00, to verify that the credit card information you provide is valid. This credit verification will occur each time you provide a different credit card in the bidding process. Your card will not be charged this amount, it is simply an authorization to confirm that your card is valid.
Q: Can I ask a question before I place a bid?
A: Yes. Whether you require additional information about the item, the payment terms, would like to determine shipping and handling costs, or have a general question, you may contact Harvard Online Auctions by emailing email@example.com.
Q: What type of auction is this?
A: The type of auction being used is called a "proxy bid" auction. When you place your bid, you can enter in the maximum amount you are willing to spend on that item. The system will then bid automatically, on your behalf, and at the lowest possible bid increments, until your maximum bid amount is reached.
Your maximum bid amount (if you are a current high bidder) will not be shown to other bidders.
Q: Can I increase my maximum bid after I've placed a bid?
A: Yes. You can increase your maximum bid at anytime, regardless of whether or not your maximum bid amount has been outbid. To increase your current bid amount, simply return to the listing and enter and submit a new, higher maximum bid amount.
Q: Every time I bid on an item, it says I have been outbid. Why?
A: When this happens, it means that an earlier bidder has placed a maximum bid amount which is higher than the amount of your maximum bid.
Q: I appear to have been overbid by an amount smaller than the bid increment. How has this occurred?
A: The other bidder had placed a "proxy bid". In some cases, it's possible that another bidder's standing maximum bid is greater than yours, but by less than the bid increment. In this case, the other bidder will be winning at exactly their maximum bid.
For example, an item has a bid increment of $5: The current winning bid is at $40.00. Your bid is $49.00 (proxy bid). Bidder B bids $49.01 (also a proxy bid).
In this case, Bidder B will be winning at exactly $49.01 even though it appears to not meet the minimum increment. It was more than the bid increment when he placed the bid. The bid was only at $40.00 so a bid of $49.01 is a $9.01 bid increment.
Q: Why does it look like some auction users are bidding against themselves?
A: This bidder has entered a proxy bid and someone else is attempting to outbid that person's maximum bid. For example:
User A enters a top bid of $200, but since the minimum bid is only $100, he's the top bidder at $100. User B enters a top bid of $125, but since that doesn't pass User A's top bid, User A remains the highest bidder at User B's top bid PLUS whatever the bid increment is. If the bid increment for this auction is $10, User A would be the top bidder at $135. However, because User B was never the top bidder, his bid won't show up in the bid history, and it will look like User A was bidding against himself, when in fact, someone else's bid activity triggered his proxy bid.
Q: I have confirmed my bid, but it tells me it is invalid: why?
A: There are two reasons why a confirmed bid can be considered invalid:
1) You have entered an invalid value in the "Bid Amount" field. Make sure that your bid amount contains only numbers and decimal points, i.e., 45.00 . Do not enter any dollar signs ($) or commas (,) into the bid amount field.
2) Your bid amount is less than the "Next Bid" value. Make sure that your bid is equal to or greater than the current "Next Bid" value shown on the listing page.
Q: Can I retract a confirmed bid?
A: Only under special circumstances can you retract a bid. To submit a formal bid retraction request, email email@example.com BEFORE the auction ends, and please allow 24-48 business hours for Customer Service to respond.
Q: What do I do if I win an auction?
A: If you are the winning bidder when the auction closes, you will automatically be notified via e-mail that you have won that auction item. Harvard Online Auctions will attempt to charge your credit card at that time. If successful, a Univeristy representative will contact you to discuss fulfillment of the item you won.
If there are problems charging your credit card, Customer Service will contact you directly to attempt to rectify the problem or to acquire new credit card information from you. If your credit card charge goes through, you will be contacted by Harvard Online Auctions regarding fulfillment of your auction. If we are unable to contact you, Harvard reserves the right to contact other bidders to offer them the auction item, or to re-list the item all together.
Q: When will I get my auction item if I win?
A: You will receive an email immediately following the end of the auction if you are the winning bidder. A Harvard representative will then contact you to discuss fulfillment of the item you won.
Q: What is your return policy?
A: All auction sales are final. We do not offer refunds or exchanges.
Q: What if I still have a question?
A: If you still have a question after looking through this FAQ page about a product, payment, or shipping status please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

I think I liked the original look a little better, but the bigger/better tires required me to start removing some fender material for clearance, which meant the fender flares had to come off, and that dampened the look a bit. Plus, with other folks following my idea, it was time for me to take another step away from the ordinary to keep it unique

Have you noticed the torque & speedometer is there in reverse?
Have you noticed the torque & speedometer is there in reverse?
Why wouldn't the speed register while in reverse? You're moving, aren't you?
Have you ever tried this test with a conventional car? I haven't. I have no idea whether this is unusual or not.
My speed also registers in reverse. My Leaf has a digital speedometer too. Will have to see if it registers in reverse. Never paid any attention.
That's exactly the point - who is watching their speedometer in reverse? Purely forum fodder and nothing more.
All I know is that the odometer won't go in reverse. Learned that from Ferris Bueller.
Wife's 2012 Chev Equinox has digitial speedometer that registers in reverse.
Any of the mechanical speedometers aren't going to register speed in reverse due to the way they work, but digital ones should. Note that the LEAF set the speed record for driving a lap in reverse and the Model S should be able to crush it.
You would need to remove the limit Model S has for reverse speed to beat Leaf record.
Just find the right fuse ...
Assuming it isn't computer controlled, which I think the case is. You would probably need to hack the computer in order to remove that limit.
@Timo - what's the limit?
Now the big question is who will get the "reverse" speed record? Anyone tested the 0-60 time in reverse? B-)
@nickjhowe, IIRC 15mph. Something close to that. No speeding tickets in reverse.
I did 15mph in reverse during my 'lift bum off seat' testing. But it was dark and I didn't feel like going much faster. Didn't feel like the car was going to stop me going faster. Will try this weekend.
15 mph limit in reverse? SLT.
SLT? Seriously lazy transit?
Something Like That. ;)

Windows 8 is equipped with an all-new, touch-friendly interface, and Microsoft has showcased a number of Australian developed third-party applications that take advantage of the new design and features, such as the context-aware Charm bar that enables access to settings and sharing through multiple media, such as social networks.
In pictures: Microsoft stages Australian launch for Windows 8
The Westpac banking app for Windows 8 uses Microsoft's Metro design language (although Microsoft dumped the Metro branding for marketing its interface earlier this year) and integrates with the new Windows 8 Start screen.
The Start screen, which uses the 'live tiles' style first seen on Windows Phone 7, lets apps, people and files to be 'pinned' to it. In the case of the Westpac app, a pinned tile can display a gauge that gives a visual indication of a bank account's balance. Microsoft also demonstrated the app's integration with its People contact management app.
Other Australian developed Windows 8 apps available include All The Deals, which aggregates details of deals available to consumers; SBS On Demand, which delivers access to the broadcaster's multimedia library; Take 40 Entertainment, which can play music videos; a Domain real estate app; and a number of games, such as Fruit Ninja from Queensland's Halfbrick Studios.
Microsoft also collected Australian celebrity endorsements for the launch, V8 Supercar driver Rick Kelly and solo sailor Jessica Watson.
Windows 8 Pro will retail for $69.99 in Australia, although users of XP, Vista or Windows 7 systems can upgrade for $39.99 until the end of January 2013; PCs purchased since 2 June and before the end of January 2013 can upgrade for $14.99.
The Enterprise edition of Windows 8 adds features such as Windows To Go, which can create a bootable flash drive with applications and files that belong to a user, AppLocker for permissions management, DirectAccess for seamless VPN-style corporate network access and features to facilitate applications deployment in the enterprise.
However, analysts have predicted that most enterprises won't look at widespread deployment of the new operating system until at least 2014. In addition to the typical concerns about rolling out a new desktop operating system, Windows 8's radical interface overhaul means that training staff may be a big concern for businesses.
However, the touchscreen interface revamp reflects Microsoft grappling with a new era where traditional PCs face growing competition from tablets and smartphones when it comes to activities, such as email and Web browsing, that were once largely the domain of the desktop. Analyst firm Gartner has predicted that tablet sales will hit 119 million units this year, a jump of 98 per cent from 2011.

Pedestrians walking along 18th Street Thursday found themselves with a choice.
"No cellphones," said lettering on one side of the sidewalk. "Cellphones," the other lane said. "Walk at your own risk."
The walkway warnings, which ran about a block, weren't the work of D.C. officials. Instead, they were put there by the brains behind a National Geographic television show as part of a behavior experiment.
A National Geographic Channel spokesman acknowledged the channel was behind the temporary signage and said pedestrians' reactions were being filmed for "Mind Over Masses," a new series. But the spokesman, Chad Sandhas, declined to discuss details of the experiment during the filming, which he said would continue Friday.
A notice on the website of the D.C.'s Office of Motion Picture and Television Development said the new science series "uses what we know about human behavior" to develop "interactive solutions to everyday problems." The notice said the show planned to create "fast and slow lanes" on the sidewalk, "allowing participants to choose."
On Thursday afternoon, many pedestrians seemed to ignore the markings, though there were some who took pictures of the novel signage or stopped to watch someone in a gorilla suit eating a banana that was also somehow part of the filming.
Irene Fadakar, 54, a secretary, said she noticed the markings at the beginning of the sidewalk. But she acknowledged that less than a block later she was back on her phone, walking in the lane marked no cellphones.

The Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA) of Canada announced today (March 7) it is in the process of developing a new Parliamentary Partners Program to assist the group in its overall advocacy efforts.
According to a press release, the purpose of the Parliamentary Partners Program is to identify RVDA Canada members who have a strong personal relationship with a member of parliament or senator, and to facilitate more frequent communication with that individual on legislative issues affecting the RV industry.
"During the past six to eight years, several changes have occurred in the Ottawa lobbying community, which have made it more difficult to impact the legislative process. During that period, a phone call from a constituent was usually all that was needed to get a sponsor for legislation or to get a vote for a bill in committee," said Eleanore Hamm, president of RVDA Canada.
"Today, more than ever, most organizations and public interest groups recognize the importance of grassroots lobbying and have stepped up their local involvement. As a result, parliamentary offices are being bombarded by letters and calls from constituents demanding help on a great number of issues," she added. "This means that a phone call from an RVDA member to a member of parliament or senator generally does not have the same impact as it did several years ago.
"Usually, the constituents cannot speak directly with the member of parliament or senator, but must talk with a staff member who cannot give a commitment on an issue," said Hamm. "The issue is explained to the member, second-hand, by a staff member who often does not fully understand the problem and certainly does not pursue the issue with the emotion of one who is directly affected."
Hamm noted this method of communication does not mean that the importance of grassroots lobbying has diminished in any way.
"Constituent contacts are still the most effective way to communicate opposition or support of an issue. However, in today's environment, direct contact with members and senators is needed to ensure that we effectively deliver our message to Parliament," she added.
Under this program, RVDA Canada will search for the member who has a strong personal relationship with each senator and member of Parliament. If the person agrees to the responsibilities of the position, he or she would be appointed a Parliamentary Partner.
"RVDA Canada firmly believes that the contacts and relationships developed by the Parliamentary Partners program will become a critical component to the association's legislative activities and will help contribute to its success in national advocacy," Hamm explained.
RV dealers interested in becoming a Parliamentary Partner, may contact Hamm at 604.718.6325 or e-mail [email protected] to request an application form.

Pasta with white clam sauce is a classic Italian dish. But it typically shells out way too many calories. Bad pun, GREAT recipe. Check it out...
2 packages House Foods Tofu Shirataki Fettuccine Shaped Noodle Substitute
1 cup chopped onion
2 tsp. chopped garlic
One 6.5-oz. can chopped clams in clam juice (not drained)
2 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping
Optional seasonings: salt, black pepper
Optional topping: chopped fresh parsley
Use a strainer to rinse and drain noodles. Thoroughly pat dry. Roughly cut noodles.
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add noodles and all other ingredients except Parm-style topping. Cook and stir until hot and well mixed, about 3 minutes.
Serve sprinkled with Parm-style topping. Eat up!

HG Alternative: To make this with high-fiber fettuccine or linguine instead of tofu shirataki, prepare 4 oz. uncooked pasta per package directions. Then each serving will have 335 calories, 7g fat, 644mg sodium, 55g carbs, 6g fiber, 6g sugars, 15.5g protein, and a PointsPlus® value of 9*. Still way better than the average linguine with clam sauce!
If you're of the "Eeeew, clams!" persuasion, this fattening dish holds little allure. (Lucky you.) However, lots of people like clams, especially clams bathed in buttery sauce over a pile of noodles. So we decided to get all HG on one of the most popular clam dishes out there, linguine con le vongole, a.k.a. linguine with clams. Even though clams themselves are pretty harmless in terms of calories, the pasta and sauce tend to put things over the top. This meal is a lot like shrimp scampi in that way. Since there aren't yet any linguine-shaped tofu shirataki noodles, we went with fettuccine -- if you prefer spaghetti-shaped tofu shirataki, that'll work too. A little light butter here, some tasty seasonings there... and you've got a super-delish dish that's totally and completely guilt-free. So don't be scared of clams -- they only want to be your delicious dinner...

Railroad Commission of Texas, Oil and Gas Division:
An Inventory of Oil and Gas Division Special Permits and Rule 37 Case Files at the Texas State Archives, 1926-2000, bulk 1926-1936
Agency History
The Railroad Commission of Texas regulates the exploration, production, and transportation of oil and natural gas in Texas. Its statutory role is to prevent waste of the state's natural resources, to protect the correlative rights of different interest owners, to prevent pollution, and to provide safety in matters such as hydrogen sulfide. It oversees hazardous materials pipelines and natural gas pipelines and distribution systems as well as propane, butane, compressed natural gas, and liquefied natural gas. It works to make sure a continuous, safe supply of natural gas is available to Texas consumers at the lowest reasonable price. Additionally, the Commission regulates surface mining for coal, uranium, and iron ore gravel, and conducts a program for reclaiming lands that were mined and abandoned before 1975.
The Railroad Commission of Texas had its origin in the demands of the shipping public in the late 1880s that insisted that railroads be subject to regulation based on public interest. An advocate for governmental regulation, Attorney General James Stephen Hogg ran for Governor in 1890 with the issue of railroad regulation as the focal point of the campaign. Hogg was elected Governor in the general election and the voters also approved an amendment to Article X, Section 2 of the Texas Constitution that empowered the Legislature to enact statutes creating regulatory agencies. These elections paved the way for the Legislature to enact on April 3, 1891 "An Act to Establish a Railroad Commission of the State of Texas," that later was placed in the Texas Revised Civil Statutes under article 6444 et seq. (House Bills 1, 3, and 58, 22nd Texas Legislature, Regular Session).
The Commission originally consisted of three members appointed by the Governor for three-year terms. Governor Hogg appointed the first three Commissioners in 1891 including John H. Reagan, who resigned as U.S. Senator from Texas to serve as the first Chairman. The Texas Constitution, Article XIX, Section 30 was amended in 1894 to provide for elective six-year overlapping terms for the Commissioners. That same year John H. Reagan was elected and served until his retirement in 1903.
The Texas Railroad Commission was the first regulatory agency created in the State of Texas and originally had jurisdiction over the rates and operations of railroads, terminals, wharves and express companies. The legal focus was on intrastate passenger and freight activities. Interstate jurisdiction fell under the U.S. Interstate Commerce Commission. For the first twenty-five years of its existence, the Railroad Commission was largely concerned with regulating railroads, setting rates, receiving complaints, and making investigations. As other controversies arose where the Legislature deemed that the public interest could best be served by regulation, additional duties were assigned to the Railroad Commission.
The Railroad Commission's authority was broadened beginning in 1917 with the passage of the Pipeline Petroleum Law (Senate Bill 68, 35th Legislature, Regular Session) that declared pipelines to be common carriers like railroads and placed them under the Commission's jurisdiction. This was the first act to designate the Railroad Commission as the agency to administer conservation laws relating to oil and gas. The Commission's regulatory and enforcement powers in oil and gas were increased by the Oil and Gas Conservation Law (Senate Bill 350 of the 36th Legislature, Regular Session), effective June 18, 1919. This act gave the Railroad Commission jurisdiction to regulate the production of oil and gas. Acting upon this legislation, the Commission adopted in 1919 the first statewide rules regulating the oil and gas industry to promote conservation and safety, including Rule 37. This rule requires minimum distances between wells at drilling sites in order to protect field pressure and correlative rights.
The Oil and Gas Division works to prevent the waste of oil, gas, and geothermal resources and to prevent the pollution of fresh water from oil and gas operations. The division holds statewide hearings on market demand and provides for equitable production among operators by establishing monthly production allowables. It issues drilling permits, reviews and approves oil and gas well completions, collects data on oil and gas operations, and promotes public safety. It also protects underground drinking water through regulation of the underground injection of fluids in oil field operations, a program approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. It oversees well plugging operations, site remediation, underground hydrocarbon storage, hazardous waste management, and maintains a large amount of data on wells - their location, production, etc. The division also investigates complaints and conducts other investigations. This division maintains 10 district offices where field enforcement and support personnel monitor oil and gas operations. The commission does not have the authority to set oil and gas prices at the wellhead. The departments within the Oil and Gas Division are: Administration, Technical Permitting, Field Operations, Administrative Compliance, and the Oil Field Cleanup Program, which includes Site Remediation and Well Plugging.

Scope and Contents of the Records
The Railroad Commission, through its Oil and Gas Division, regulates the exploration, production, and transportation of oil and natural gas in Texas. Records present include permits for drilling, applications to drill, correspondence, memos, telegrams, transcripts from hearings and other legal documents, plats, maps, charts, graphs, and photographs. Dates covered are 1926-2000, the bulk dating 1926-1936. These are special permits issued by the Oil and Gas Division of the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) as exceptions to the Division's drilling rules. The permits were intended usually for individual wells rather than an entire field or reservoir. Examples include drilling with compressed air and drilling to offset drainage by neighboring wells.
The majority of the records are hearing files concerning Rule 37, a rule that requires minimum distances between wells at drilling sites in order to protect field pressure and correlative rights. Rule 37 hearings are not regular hearings and they have their own unique docketing system. The files are individual applications by fee owners, leaseholders, and oil and gas companies for permits to drill on parcels of land too small to meet Rule 37's minimum distance requirements. An application to drill includes the following types of data - date, name of company or operator, name of lease, location of lease, field name, number of acres in lease, distance to nearest lease, depth of well, spacing pattern, density pattern, etc. The application to drill also notes if Rule 37 is involved, and if so, then the names and addresses of all offsetting operators or unleased mineral interest owners of each adjacent tract are provided, along with a plat. The correspondence is from the applicant to the RRC explaining why the exception should be granted. There can be waivers from adjacent property/lease holders of oil, gas or mineral rights, letters of objection from oil and gas companies, neighbors, etc. When there are serious objections, a hearing is held. Hearing transcripts may be present, along with permits to drill issued by the Railroad Commission.
Records include a numerical list to the special permits and Rule 37 case files, produced by the Railroad Commission for cases # 1 to #8,999, listing the applicant, case number, well number, lease, county, and disposition of the request. Also present is an index on microfiche to the microfilmed Rule 37 cases or dockets, giving the docket number, microfilm reel, and frame on the reel where the docket appears. The first entry is case or docket # 8163, through # 247,949, with a few scattered cases listed after that.
In addition to the special permit and Rule 37 case files for 1926-1936 (file numbers 2980-16,348), the Archives also holds the oversize exhibits from the Rule 37 hearings, which include maps, photographs, graphs, charts, etc., dating 1935-2000 (file numbers 8163-223,980). Most of the Rule 37 case files, from 1921 until about 2000 are on microfilm at the Railroad Commission. Cases from 2000 onward are still in their original paper format at the Railroad Commission. The Rule 37 oversize exhibits were not filmed. Not all of the Rule 37 cases or dockets had oversize exhibits, so files are not present for all case numbers.
Hearing schedules are posted on the RRC site, see http://www.rrc.state.tx.us/meetings/hearings/index.php
This finding aid describes one series of the Railroad Commission of Texas records. See Railroad Commission of Texas: An Overview of Records for more records series.

Teen dead after gun mishandled in SE Houston
A teen died Saturday night after he was accidentally shot at his southeast Houston home.
A friend of 17-year-old Corbin George brought a gun to the house in the 11400 block of Panay "for safekeeping," said Houston Police Department spokeswoman Jodi Silva.
"George grabs the gun from the friend and gets accidentally shot," Silva said.
The teen was transported to Ben Taub General Hospital where he was briefly treated before being pronounced dead, she said.
Silva did not provide any further information about the incident except to say the case will go before a Harris County grand jury, which will review whether the friend could face charges.

President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) yesterday defended the Chinese Nationalist Party's (KMT) Sun Yat-sen Scholarship program and stressed the advantages of studying abroad.
Ma, who doubles as KMT chairman, yesterday met with 10 recipients of the scholarship at the KMT headquarters, and encouraged them to dedicate their knowledge and talents to the nation after completing what he called a "formal learning process" as compared with working holidays or short-term language courses.
"Studying abroad is a major force for modernizing the nation. Although Taiwan has developed over the years, there is still a lot to learn from advanced countries. Most importantly, you should nurture yourself and become a talent that the nation needs," he said.
Ma, a recipient of the scholarship in 1974, said his family was not able to finance his graduate studies at New York University, and expressed his gratitude for the scholarship giving him the opportunity to broaden his horizons and complete his studies.
"That's why I decided to reinstate the scholarship in 2010. The scholarship does not aim to train KMT members. Our goal is to cultivate talents for the country, so that more young people will receive a good education and make contributions to Taiwan," he said.
The KMT launched the scholarship program in 1960 to send outstanding young party members abroad for advanced studies. The KMT used the program to cultivate talent within its own ranks, encouraging its members to apply for the program, while assigning political missions to scholarship recipients.
Many of the recipients became KMT heavyweights and top politicians, including Ma, Taiwan's Representative to the US King Pu-tsung (金溥聰) and former Straits Exchange Foundation chairman Chiang Pin-kung (江丙坤).

North Shore Nostalgia: Remembering the General Glover HousePosted: January 23rd, 2013 | Author: KN | Filed under: News | Tags: Anthony Anathas, North Shore Nostalgia, The Essex Room, The General Glover House | 1 Comment »
I am one of four siblings, and with six at the table during dinner when I was growing up, things could get rowdy at times. Upon seeing a display of shocking manners, my father would shake his head and say, "You'll never get to the General Glover that way."
For years, the General Glover remained a mythic place in our minds—a posh eatery we were sure to be kicked out of. However, like many who lived on the North Shore, we did end up going to the General Glover for various celebratory meals over the years.
Named after the famed Revolutionary War general who was born in Salem and lived in Marblehead, the General Glover was an upscale steak house on Route 1A in Swampscott. It was opened in 1957 by restaurant legend Anthony Anathas. (Anathas opened Anthony's in Lynn in 1937 and Hawthorne by the Sea in Swampscott in 1946. He would go on to open Anthony's Pier 4 in Boston in 1963.)
Theme restaurants flourished across American roadsides in the 1950s, and the General Glover reflected New England's favorite theme: the colonial inn. The vast Essex Room featured a huge fireplace, seascapes, and exposed beams hung with all manner of lanterns and copper pots. As kids, we loved that the waitresses were dressed in colonial style, with long dresses and aprons topped by a frilled white cap.
During meals, there was a battalion of those waitresses making their way around the dining room offering various foodstuffs from baskets or trays. The popovers were legendary—fresh, hot, and crisp. The menu consisted of standard steak house fare, and I recall everything being quite good, especially the prime rib, but those popovers are forever remembered as a paragon of baked goods.
The General Glover closed in the late '90s, and the building has been standing derelict ever since. The Anathas family still owns the property and sporadically uses some of the buildings on it, but the restaurant stands as a deserted reminder of the past. Walking by it recently, we saw the old captain's chairs stacked by a window, ghosts of the once memorable Essex Room.
Fortunately, the building hasn't become a hazard like its counterpart in Lynn. City officials have been trying to get the Anathas family to address the crumbling vacant building that once housed the original Anthony's and has become a danger to pedestrians. It's mystifying that they have let these properties fall into disrepair.
While I have no idea what the future holds for the General Glover House property, I am happy I that had a chance to be a part of its past.

It Takes A Village
This story appears in the January 1999 issue of HomeOfficeMag.com. Subscribe »
If you were running your business 25 miles from where you live, you wouldn't give a second thought to hiring people to help you run your home . . . or your business. You wouldn't give up a day's work and perhaps a handsome commission to stay home waiting for the carpet cleaners. Nor would you scrimp on having the technical support you need to keep your computer system up and running if it were the heart of your operation.
Why, then, do some people treat themselves differently when they run a business from their home?
If you're tired of being so self-sufficient and are contemplating hiring help, you're probably asking yourself this question: Is it worth it to pay for people whom you have to manage when one of the reasons you're running your business from home is to simplify your life? Most certainly, says Jennifer White, president of The JWC Group, a Cincinnati success coaching firm, and author of Work Less, Make More (Kendall/Hunt Publishing). If you focus on what's important to you --regarding your business and your personal life--you'll get more pleasure out of and be more successful with both.
White calls this hired help the "support team, not the sabotage team." To her, a support team is composed of people who support you and what you're trying to do. They're the people who allow you to focus on your top priorities by taking over your other responsibilities. "If you spend 80 percent of your time focused on things you do well and enjoy, your business will be profitable," White says. "When people stick to that ratio, they have no problem integrating their home and personal lives with their businesses."
Patricia Schiff Estess is a contributing writer to Entrepreneurmagazine and the author of Kids, Money & Values (Betterway Press).
Help Wanted
Who are these "life helpers"? Every homebased business owner's list is different, of course, but some of the most important support people include:
*A child-care provider, for those with young children. The hand that uses the computer often can't be the one that rocks the cradle, too.
*A person to handle housekeeping. You want someone who has the same gusto while vacuuming and ironing that you have when working on a deal.
*An accountant or bookkeeper (or both, depending on the size of your business) who understands accounting isn't your forte or your primary interest and doesn't chastise you for not doing more of it. You'll need someone who's smart enough about your business to offer financial advice when needed.
*A technical support person who's on call when your computer crashes and lets you know what new programs have been released to help you operate more efficiently.
*An assistant who comes in on a regular, part- or full-time basis to do anything and everything you might need, including walking the dog, getting a mailing out or going shopping. This person understands that, for you, marketing doesn't mean going to the grocery store.
*A personal trainer, either at a gym or one who comes to your home, to help you keep you strong and physically fit.
Finding the Right People
You have to set minimum standards, and be resolute in not settling, no matter how long it takes to find these people. Having someone who's going to work with you in your home is different from hiring an office employee. As White points out, "This is someone to whom you may give the keys to your front door."
So what should you look for?
*A person you'd like to have around. "Trust is the most essential thing for me," says Susan Trainer, CEO of Trainer Public Relations in Danville, California, and an employer of eight. "I'm trusting these people with my most precious commodities: my family and my business."
*A person who's comfortable with how you work and think. If you're serious when you say "This needs to be done right away," and an assistant is too much of a perfectionist to stop what she's working on to handle this urgent matter, you're going to go out of your mind. The same is true if you're concerned about your children when they're on the play equipment in the backyard and your child-care provider is cavalier about their safety--the match is obviously wrong.
*Someone with a track record. "Simply saying you can do something is different from actually doing it," says White. Someone's prior experience reassures you he or she can handle the job.
*Someone who's coachable. Even though experience is important, your way of operating may be what makes your business (and your home) successful. You want someone who understands the rationale behind your thinking and who's in tune with you and your desire for success.
*Someone who's willing to commit to the long term. Interviewing and coaching are time-consuming tasks. Unless you want someone for a temporary assignment, it's best to hire people who see this job as something they want to do for quite a while.
You can, of course, advertise for life helpers. And that sometimes works well. But an even better way of finding them is to talk to people you trust who know you fairly well. People won't usually refer someone unless they're pretty certain about that person's character and ability.
Keep in mind that recognizing you need help to operate a successful business out of your home isn't a sign of weakness--it's a sign you have your priorities in order. "I'm not interested in the `corner office,' " says Trainer. "I care about earning a good living and maintaining autonomy in my life. Having the right people in my life has made that possible."
She calls them her eight M's. And while Susan Trainer can't explain why all her life helpers have either first or last names beginning with the letter "m," she does know that without them, she wouldn't have the time or energy necessary to run Trainer Public Relations, her company in Danville, California.
"Some people might think all this life and business support is a bit frivolous, but it makes good economic sense for me," says Trainer. "Without [my support team], I wouldn't be able to focus on work, which is very lucrative, and my husband and four kids, who are very fulfilling."
Here are Trainer's eight Ms and, in her own words, what they do for her:
"Marina Malayan is my Alice of the `Brady Bunch.' She does the shopping, goes to the dry cleaners, makes breakfast for the kids, schedules carpet cleaning and does everything [a spouse] would do.
"Maureen Yajko watches my three- and four-year-old [children] during the day. She was the first person I hired.
"Mary Miller is my accountant who works with me every quarter.
"Bev Meyer is my bookkeeper, but never comes into the office. We communicate solely through voice mail, fax and e-mail.
"Martin Harris is the billing person who works with us `remotely' every day.
"Melanie Bentley is a personal shopper who finds my work and non-work wardrobes. She understands my style and is very considerate about staying within my budget.
"Michelle Biggs is the fitness trainer I see [twice a week] who ensures I stay feeling good about myself.
"Marta Zelaya-Cuevas is the hairdresser I see once every six weeks. She manages an important part of my overall image."

Replication AgentsSnapshot Agent - usually resides on the distributor server, it is used in all types of replication. The Snapshot Agent makes a copy of the schema objects and the data in the tables to published and stores them in snapshot files in the snapshot folder, information about the snapshot is stored in the distribution database.
Log Reader Agent - This is used in transactional replication. The log reader agent monitors the transaction log of all databases involved in replication. it monitors changes in the data marked for replication in the publication database's transaction log and sends them to the distributor server. The transactions are held here until they are are ready to be sent to the subscribers.
Queue Reader Agent - is used with transactional replication and updateable subscribers publication type... The agent is run at the distributor and moves changes made at the subscriber back to the publisher.
Distribution Agent - is used in both snapshot and transactional replication. Its role is to move the snapshot and transactions stored at the distributor to the subscribing servers. In pull replication this agent lives on the subscribers and in push scenario it resides on the distributor server.
Merge Agent - surprisingly is used in Merge Replication. Unless you are using MERGE replication you will not be utilising this agent. This agent applies the initial snapshot to the subscriber servers. changes made after the initial synchronisation are monitored and merged to the subscribers ...This is the agent that is responsible for resolving update conflicts.
So these are the replication agents I will try and point out the how they work with each type of replication when we look at setting up and configuring replication.

The Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training, which has been investigating complaints that Curt Schilling's video game company did not pay hundreds of workers, has suspended its probe in light of the firms' bankruptcy filing last week, a spokeswoman said.
38 Studios LLC, founded by the former Red Sox pitcher, acknowledged in bankruptcy filings that it owed workers more than $2 million. But it seems unlikely workers will recoup their lost pay in bankruptcy court since the Providence company owes more than $150 million and has less than $22 million in assets, most of which is likely to be claimed by the state's economic development agency.
The agency gave the company a $75 million state-backed loan and is expected to be among the first to be repaid.
Theoretically, the labor department could go after Schilling and other officers personally to try to recoup employees' pay if workers are unsuccessful in the bankruptcy process. But historically, the agency has ended its efforts once a company files for bankruptcy protection.
Separately, several state and federal law enforcement agencies have also launched their own investigations into 38 Studios. Neither Schilling nor a spokesman for the company could be immediately reached.

United Slurps of America: Pennsylvania
Every state in the US produces wine. Why not taste them? In the next 50 weeks We will do just that…welcome to the United Slurps of America.
This week our eager palates travel to the state of "Virtue, Liberty and Independence:" Pennsylvania. For this premier edition of USA, wine blogger and Pennsylvanian 1 Wine Dude virtually tasted with us. Joe Roberts is a terrific, unique voice in the wine blog world and We are honored to have him join Us.
By way of background, last week a rather hunky UPS driver (what is it with the hot delivery guys in this neighborhood?) asked for Her signature for a box that looked suspiciously like wine. And to our delight, it was. Penns Woods Winery in Pennsylvania had shipped Us three bottles to taste, no strings attached. Fantastic. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to launch USA. We're very grateful to receive samples from wineries (go ahead…ship them our way), but the feelings of joy for free booze also comes mixed with anxiety: what if We don't like it? We pledge to always be honest in our reviews, but biting the hand that imbibes you seems harsh. Luckily for Us, We greatly enjoyed the two unique bottles reviewed below. Seek them out.
That said, let us begin:
Merlot, Reserve, Penns Woods 2005 (Pennsylvania, received as a sample, retails for $38)
She said: Very deep garnet, verging on opaque. In the nose strong wiffs of currants and blackberries with an earthy undertone. Extremely ripe and extracted fruit hits the palate immediately. Jammy stuff. There is a pleasant chalky texture, but more than any other sensation I get is lush fruit. Prefer less extraction and more structure in Merlot, but I am impressed that the wine does not get overwhelmed by the jamminess. As the bottle remained open the finish became increasingly Port-like. Very interesting wine.
He said: Very, very dark in color. She says "garnet" and I don't really know what She means. Kevin Garnet is quite dark, but it seems racist to describe wine that way, darling. Dark cherry, tobacco, cola, cedar and a lot of chocolate in my nose-piece. In the mouth there is a lot of fruit, but seems balanced nicely with the chalky tannins. More creamy chocolate and dark fruit flavors throughout. I am not normally a merlot drinker, but I definitely enjoyed this "big" wine. I would (and will) pair it with an American Spirit.
1WineDude said: Robust & full of dark fruits. Flirting dangerously close to over-extraction, but thoroughly enjoyable. The Merlot might blow your mind in terms of how ripe the fruit is, coming from the Right Coast. This is because Gino Razzi (the winemaker) has spent a sh*tload of money on his small operation and equipment, and he has a horizontal fermentation vessel that can extract everything that the grapes have to offer in terms of fruit – I think you can literally dial-in the manner and depth of extraction on this machine. Of course, you need to be careful that you don't create an over-extracted Frankenwine Monster when you're using that thing.
Chardonnay, Reserve, Penns Woods 2007 (Pennsylvania, received as a sample, retails for $33.50)
She said: Jumping to the bottom line: I loved this wine. It has a terrific balance of fruit/oak/acid with a deliciously long finish…a true delight. Now the specifics. Color is a pale yellow with golden hue. On the nose: apples, lemon curd, hint of wood. Great mouthfeel; very rich and full. The wine is obviously oaked, but the flavors do not overwhelm (not overburdened by butter, vanilla etc.). On the palate I taste pear and apple. There is a tangy creaminess which recalls brie and lemon curd. Some toasty notes and hazelnuts. In the finish I also sense crushed shells, but it is not a strong minerality. The finish lingers and lingers with a refreshing mix of acid and fruit (peach fuzz?). Fantastic. Where do I find it in LA?
He said: Pale gold-green in color, but as I have said before, I am colorblind so this part means almost nothing to me. Wow, very aromatic and smells damn good. Very crisp on the nose with honey and créme brûlée evident. Initial butterscotch in the mouth and very creamy, an excellent mouthfeel (a word I'm still uncomfortable with.) Getting a little something tangy, apple I think. I can taste and feel this in my entire mouth, which gives way to a long aftertaste with a nice acidity. It almost feels and tastes like a Bellini in the finish.I would drink this with anything in a cream sauce, but I would be more than happy just to drink it by itself. This wine is excellent.
1WineDude said: Vanilla, tropical fruit, VG acidity. Might be the best E. Coast Chard. I've EVER tasted. Period. I love what winemaker Gino Razzi is doing, and his `07 Chard made my Top 10 Most Interesting Wines of 2009 list because it's the most balanced and nuanced white wine from the East Coast U.S. that I've ever tasted. I've been following this one from its inception in stainless steel through barrel sampling and at multiple points after being bottled. The amount of fruit that Gino has been able to coax out of these PA grapes is astonishing, and it was clear early on just how special this Chardonnay vintage was, and that the wine was capable of standing up to as much oak treatment as Gino was willing to give it. It's drinking beautifully now, a minor triumph really, and a new benchmark for PA and East Coast wines.
We Said: First of all, thank you to Jason Malumed of Penns Woods Winery, and Joe Roberts of 1WineDude for being involved for the premier edition of USA. Neither of US have ever tasted a Pennsylvanian wine, and it's nice to get out of our oenological comfort zone; i.e. California and France. If We had to critique something about these wines, it would be the labels. We are both designers and can't help but notice these things and how We would like to make them better (and, umm, We're for hire). Thankfully, the wine inside both bottles is terrific and that is what is really important.
In addition to the Merlot and Chardonnay, We also received a bottle featuring a grape neither one of Us had heard of: Traminette. We plan on tasting and reviewing it at a later date. 1WineDude gave us some insight as to what We may discover:
I tasted it while it was still fermenting in the tank and sitting on the lees (the wine, that is, not me!) and at the time Gino told me he was trying to make something simple and really fruity and refreshing. Then, he ended up leaving on the lees so long that it gained this interesting creamy texture and more complexity. I was like "Gino… if you were trying to make a simple wine, you failed spectacularly. This is one of most complex takes on Traminette I've ever tasted – you're INCAPABLE of making a simple wine, man!!!" We had a good laugh over that.
We're intrigued. Will be opening the bottle sooner rather than later.
1 down, 49 to go.
We want United Slurps of America to be a collaborative project. Wineries or bloggers from states other than California who would like to be involved, contact us.
