THE INTERNAL AUDITOR'S ROLE by Donald L. Morchower IN DEVELOPING EDP SYSTEMS Director, New York Office
Presented before the
Wall Street Association
of Internal Auditors-June 1972
My thoughts on the role of the internal auditor in development of electronic data-processing systems may not be unique or profound, but my experience indicates that many internal auditors are not involved during this phase of EDP systems, when such involvement should begin. It appears to me fundamental to the discharge of internal audit responsibilities to review new computer systems before implementation to make sure that proper management and financial controls and audit trails are incorporated. Yet experience indicates that this responsibility is often overlooked. One positive sign that this situation might be changing is that I have been asked to discuss this subject five or six times over the past few years with groups of internal auditors, so possibly the internal auditor is beginning to realize the importance of determining and undertaking his proper role in this very important activity.
Many of us are aware of problems blamed on or in some way related to computers over the past several years. Of course, systems are designed and programmed by people, and people must interface with computer systems by providing and entering proper input and by understanding and using the output. Yet, it is fairly common to read a newspaper article with the headline "Computer Failure" printed in bold type, wherein the reporter does not really understand the problem or its cause. Even minor problems when handled in a heavy-handed and impersonal manner can cause major difficulties
in an age of consumerism.
Computer systems do not have to be designed or implemented illogically or with errors, nor do they have to be used with insensitivity to people. A customer lost because of repeated incorrect billings and frustrated attempts to resolve the problem is much more difficult to recapture than he was to acquire in the first place. Similarly, it is more difficult to deal with an

acrylic on canvas
157.8 x 363.7 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of the Women's Committee in honour of Winnipeg's Centennial
Painting, Canadian Modern (1910-1979)
Tanglewood's panoramic perspective and stippling technique create a map-like description of a landscape. The analytical way vegetations and landforms are differentiated and described suggests the artist's direct and holistic observation of nature. However, Ivan Eyre's bird's-eye view of a verdant, rolling landscape is entirely invented. The topographical details are used in this painting to suggest a subjective mood. Eyre's painting of a concocted world that is somehow both isolated and claustrophobic is a poetic commentary on the real world. His surreal take on the imagined landscape has been highly influential on younger generations of Prairie artists.

Additional Requirements
Note: The code is not considered to be production quality and has not been tested for secure environments. This code is intended only to convey the basic concepts of a socket policy file server. Adobe does not plan to officially support this code.
With the introduction of Adobe Flash Player 9,0,124,0, Flash Player will not make a socket connection directly to a server without first obtaining explicit permission from that server. This will require some systems and networks to open up ports or run new services in order to support granting permission.
Because this behavior will be new to system and network administrators, this article provides a brief background on why this process is necessary and what they will see on their networks. In addition, this article includes an overview of sample code that Adobe is providing for creating socket policy file servers in testing environments.
Flash Player sockets and socket policy files
The primary audience for this article is a system or network administrator whose web team has approached them to open up firewall ports or to run new system services. This may seem contradictory to many security principles in which less is considered more. This section presents a brief background on socket policy files and what actually traverses the network. It also sets the framework for what the socket policy file server needs to be able to provide to the Flash Player runtime.
Flash Player content is distributed throughout the web and is hosted by direct content providers and advertisers. It is widely used because it contains many features, providing a richer experience than raw HTML. One of these features is the ability to create TCP sockets in order to exchange data with servers. From a network administrator's point of view, the idea that content from the Internet could make socket connections to internal hosts is scary. This is why Flash Player requires permission from the target host before it will allow content to make the network connection.
Flash Player has required the presence of socket policy files since the introduction of the feature within Flash Player. Flash Player 9,0,124,0 introduces two major changes to socket policy files. The first change is that Flash Player will require socket policy files for all sockets. In prior versions of Flash Player, it was possible to connect to ports greater than 1024 if the SWF file was connecting to the same server from which it was hosted. The second change is the introduction of a centralized location for socket policy files that can host a socket master policy file.
Adobe has filed with IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, to reserve port 843 for the purposes of serving socket policy files. By introducing a centralized location for socket policy files, Flash Player enables a system administrator to define what ports are available through one master policy that overrides any other policy file on the host. If Flash Player 9,0,124,0 cannot retrieve a master policy file from port 843, then it requests a socket policy file on the port where it is trying to connect. However, if a policy file is available from a service on TCP port 843, then Flash Player considers that to be the authoritative set of permissions for that system.
Socket policy files define what hosts can connect to a system and to which ports those hosts are permitted to connect. If it is a socket master policy file, then the policy file also defines whether other socket policy files are allowed on the host. The schema for socket policy files is defined at adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd. Below is a sample socket master policy file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<!-- Policy file for xmlsocket://socks.example.com -->
<!-- This is a master-policy file -->
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
<!-- Instead of setting to-ports="*",
administrators can use ranges and commas -->
<!-- This will allow access to ports 123, 456, 457, and 458 -->
<allow-access-from domain="swf.example.com" to-ports="123,456-458" />
Inside the
cross-domain-policy node is a
site-control element. The
site-control element defines which socket policy files are allowed on the server. In this case, the value of
"master-only" says that this is the only policy file on the server that Flash Player should acknowledge. If socket policy files are allowed to be defined on other ports, then the administrator could say
"all". Conversely, if the administrator wanted to deny socket connections to the system altogether, then the value of
"none" could be specified as well. Flash Player defaults to a setting of
"all" if it is unable to retrieve a socket master policy or the socket master policy does not contain a
site-control element.
The next line of XML is the
allow-access-from element. The first field of the element defines the domain that is allowed to connect. The domain specified here should be the domain where the SWF content is hosted. This may be different from where the HTML page is hosted that refers to the SWF content. For instance, if an HTML page hosted on www.example.com includes a reference to a SWF hosted on swf.example.com, then the administrator needs to specify swf.example.com in the
domain field. While it is possible to specify wildcards in the
domain field, such as "*" or "*.example.com", Adobe recommends that only specific domain names be specified.
to-ports field in the
allow-access-from element specifies what ports are available to the Flash content hosted on swf.example.com. Wildcards ("*"), port ranges, and/or individual ports can be specified within this field. Adobe recommends that administrators specify only those ports for which they explicitly want to allow access to that domain.
Socket policy request process
Flash Player checks for a socket policy file in three places for each IP connection. The checks occur in the following order:
- Flash Player first checks port 843 to determine if there is a socket master policy file. If there is no socket master policy file or the socket master policy file has a
site-controltag specifying
"all", then Flash Player proceeds to the next step. If the
site-controltag has a value of
"none", then the process stops and the socket is denied a connection.
- If an ActionScript
Security.loadPolicyFile()command exists within the SWF file, then the Flash Player runtime checks that location. Flash Player checks the destination of the
loadPolicyFile()only after it has checked the master policy file on port 843 for permission to acknowledge other policy files. If the developer has not specified a
loadPolicyFile()command, then Flash Player checks the destination port of the connection.
- The destination port of the connection is the last check made by Flash Player. This check is only performed if the socket master policy file permits Flash Player to check additional locations. If Flash Player still cannot locate a policy file granting permission, then the socket connection is denied.
The request for a policy file is very simple: Flash Player sends the string
<policy-file-request/> followed by a
NULL byte to the port where it is requesting a policy file; no more, no less. Flash developers cannot modify the string that is sent. In return, Flash Player expects to receive the socket policy file as text. Once Flash Player receives the socket policy file, it closes the connection and opens a new connection if the policy file approves the request.
Once Flash Player receives permission, it will remember the result for the lifetime of the SWF file. Flash Player associates each socket policy file to an IP address, and it needs a policy file for each connection to a new IP address. For instance, assume that the developer specifies a hostname for the connection and that a DNS lookup returns multiple IP addresses. Every time the IP address changes for the hostname, Flash Player will check the new IP address for a socket policy file. This helps to protect against DNS rebinding attacks.
Flash Player also checks policy files every time the developer specifies a
Security.loadPolicyFile() command within the code. Flash Player does not check for socket policy files for normal HTTP or HTTPS connections through the browser. Socket policy files apply only when the developer initiates a raw
Socket or
XMLSocket connection in ActionScript.
Sample socket policy file servers
Adobe is providing sample socket policy file servers for use in developer testing. The code is not considered to be production quality and has not been tested for secure environments. This code is intended only to convey the basic concepts of a socket policy file server; Adobe does not plan to officially support this code. Manual configuration changes or additions will likely be necessary in order for the scripts to run as a service on a particular operating system.
Adobe is providing sample code in both Perl and Python. A socket policy file server can be written in any language that support sockets. These two languages were chosen only for their readability and cross-platform support—and because they could convey the concepts in just a few lines of code. The samples include both Python and Perl versions of a standalone script, a Python and Perl server for the xinetd service, and a Python version of a server for the init service. It is not necessary to install all of the files. The different versions are provided merely to offer options for different environments. Some manual steps—such as adding an entry for the "flashpolicy" service on TCP port 843 within the /etc/services file, allowing port 843 within the firewall configuration, or adding permissions to the SELinux configuration—may also need to be performed to make the servers fully operational depending on your environment. Python version 2.5 is required for the Python scripts.
The Standalone folder contains both Perl and a Python standalone socket policy file server scripts. These scripts just run in a loop until the user hits Ctrl+C or closes the window to stop the process. These scripts should be capable of being run within Cygwin on Windows, or natively on Windows using the ActiveState distributions of Perl and Python. Both the flashpolicyd.pl script and flashpolicyd.py script take two arguments. The first argument is the path to the socket policy file in the filesystem. The second optional argument is the TCP port on which the server should listen. If a port is not provided, then the script listens on TCP port 843. This is a sample command line for starting the script:
./flashpolicyd.pl --file=../policyfile.xml --port=843
./flashpolicyd.py --file=../policyfile.xml --port=843
The Perl script will log basic debug information to STDOUT so that the developer can see when a request was received, whether the request was considered valid, and whether a policy file was sent in return; the script will log errors to STDERR. The Python script tracks similar information but it only outputs to STDERR.
Both Perl and Python scripts are provided for running a socket policy server on a Linux machine with xinetd. It is only necessary to install one of the two sets of scripts. The install.sh script requires root privileges on the machine. It will copy the following files:
- Socket policy file (flashpolicy.xml) into /usr/local/etc/
- Policy server script into /usr/local/sbin as the file in.flashpolicyd
- Xinetd control file into /etc/xinetd.d/
The install.sh script will then try to start the service. The xinetd service will run as the user "nobody." The Python policy file server will log to syslog, whereas the Perl version will log to STDERR. These scripts will work with another superserver such as inetd or launchconfigd, but configuration and installer files are not included for such systems.
To install the Python daemon located in the Python_init folder, it is necessary to have root privileges on the Linux machine. Similar to the xinetd scripts, the install.sh script will copy the Python file for the policy file server (flashpolicyd.py) to /usr/local/sbin as flashpolicyd. An init script will be copied into /etc/rc.d/init.d/ that supports basic "start","stop", and "restart" commands. The install.sh script will copy the flashpolicy.xml file to /usr/local/etc/. Finally, it will try to start the service and configure it to start automatically at boot time. The daemon will run as the user root and log to STDERR.
A quick verification of the service can be done by using either Perl or Python in conjunction with the netcat utility:
python -c 'print "<policy-file-request/>%c" % 0' | nc 127.0.0.1 843
perl -e 'printf "<policy-file-request/>%c",0' | nc 127.0.0.1 843
If the socket policy file is returned by running one of the above commands, then the test was successful.
For Flash developers, testing of this functionality requires Flash Player 9,0,115,0 or later. Flash Player 9,0,115,0 introduced socket master policy support and additional logging capabilities for debugging socket connections. Developers may notice a slight difference in results between using Flash Player 9,0,115,0 and using Flash Player 9,0,124,0 (or later) when the socket connection is made to the same domain that is hosting the SWF and the socket connection is to a port greater than 1024. Flash Player 9,0,115,0 was a transitional release that supports both the deprecated behavior and the new Phase II behavior. Therefore, if a socket master policy file is not present on port 843, then Flash Player 9,0,115,0 will assume it needs to apply the deprecated behavior for same-domain connections to ports greater than 1024. Starting with Flash Player 9,0,124,0, only the newer, stricter Phase II behavior is supported and policy files are required for all socket connections. For details on the differences between the two versions and how to configure logging, please see Policy file changes in Flash Player 9: Socket policy files.
Folder layout
The following is a breakdown of the files present within the ZIP file:
- flashpolicy.xml: This is the socket master policy file that is copied into /usr/local/etc/ by the install scripts. This file must be altered to reflect the relevant ports and domains for the server.
- README.txt: A file that contains information regarding the applications and this project.
- install.sh: This file copies the files into the necessary directories in order to be registered as a service. Administrators should verify that the install directories used by the script are compatible with their system.
- in.flashpolicyd.py: This script is copied into the /usr/local/sbin directory by the install script for use with xinetd. It is a policy file service coded in Python and logs to syslog.
- flashpolicyd.xinet: This xinetd control file registers the in.flashpolicyd.py daemon with xinetd to run on port 843 as the user "nobody." It is copied into the /etc/xinetd.d directory as /etc/xinetd.d/flashpolicyd by the install script.
- install.sh: This file copies the files into the necessary directories in order to be registered as a service. Administrators should verify that the install directories used by the script are compatible with their system.
- in.flashpolicyd.pl: This script is copied into the /usr/local/sbin directory by the install script for use with xinetd. It is a policy file service coded in Perl that logs to STDOUT and STDERR.
- flashpolicyd.xinet: This xinetd control file registers the in.flashpolicyd.py daemon with xinetd to run on port 843 as the user "nobody." It is copied into the /etc/xinetd.d directory as /etc/xinetd.d/flashpolicyd by the install script.
- install.sh: This file copies the files into the necessary directories to be registered as a service. Administrators should verify that the install directories used by the script are compatible with their system.
- flashpolicyd.py: This script is copied into the /usr/local/sbin directory by the install script. It is an init-compatible version of the Flash policy server that logs to STDERR. This version supports more than one user connection.
- flashpolicyd.init: This init script supports the basic init commands of
stop, and
restart. It is copied into the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory as /etc/rc.d/init.d/flashpolicyd by the install script. If this method is used, then the service will be run as root. The configuration variables set in the beginning of this script should be reviewed to ensure that the appropriate path variables are used.
- flashpolicyd.pl: This is a standalone, single-threaded Perl script that runs in a loop accepting one user connection at a time until the user hits Ctrl+C.
- flashpolicyd.py: This standalone Python Script will run in a loop until the user hits Ctrl+C. This version supports more than one user connection.
By registering the service with xinetd, an administrator can take advantage of several security controls. Xinetd can be configured to include access controls and denial-of-service (DoS) protections. The Adobe scripts do not configure the security settings in xinetd because these settings are specific to each environment. However, Adobe does encourage taking advantage of these features where appropriate.
Where to go from here
While the socket policy request and response is a fairly simple communication process, the process of setting up a socket policy file server is installation-dependent. For a detailed explanation of the socket policy file changes in the recent versions of Flash Player, please read Policy file changes in Flash Player 9.

"With a membership to this website, you can dig into your history without having to learn much at all about genealogy. "
Huh? Let's do things without learning anything about them. How's that for a great way to approach life? That mindset along, approaching things without learning about them, is the root cause of 99% of the problems in this country in the first place and something as an educator I find pretty appalling.
Additional words elude me--well, actually they don't, but I am going to refrain.
I rarely read reviews of genealogical sites, books, etc. written by non-genealogists. With all due respect to the author of this piece, they simply don't have the requisite background to adequately review the material being reviewed. There's a reason you don't see reviews of database programs, website development programs, and the like on this site. I know that I don't have the ability to review such things adequately.
I realize this review is written for the layman, but it seems to me that a piece could have been put together that wasn't overly technical and still didn't seem to make it quite so "easy."
I've included a link to the article so others can read it.
Keep in mind that I use Ancestry.com quite a bit and really appreciate the materials that it gives me access to, but this piece is something else.
I think I'm off to review some quilting sites. Stay tuned.

1,000,000th Burial !!!
Durham Records Online is celebrating the millionth burial going online! With the advent of the Stanley Cemetery collection, the count of burial records (church burials plus cemetery registers) passed the 1,000,000 mark. Here is burial number 1,000,000 (at Stanley Cemetery):
- 31 Jul 1901 John Smith Hope, of 24 Jubilee Terrace, Ox Hill, age: 14
The burial collection now numbers 1,006,929.
Stanley Cemetery burials 1891-1977
8,384 burials at Stanley Cemetery between Stanley and Beamish in Lanchester district. Burials in the Old Section are from the opening of the cemetery in Nov 1891 to May 1977. The New Section opened in May 1914 and burials in the Old Section tailed off rapidly after the 1920s. Our transcription of the New Section runs to 20 May 1932, and we have annotated burials in this section with "buried in the New Section".
Because these are municipal cemetery records, not church burial records, they present many more genealogically useful details. Just over half of these records give an occupation, either of the deceased, of the father, or of the husband (but, oddly, they do not actually name the father or husband). Some give information about how or where the person died. Here are some samples:
- 25 Nov 1891 William Ramshaw, of Front Street, Stanley, age: 46, stone quarryman
- 26 Oct 1892 Emma Thorne, of South Moor, age: 17, coalminer's daughter
- 23 Jun 1901 Emily Ann Dunn, of 31 Murray Street, age: 27, married woman
- 24 Mar 1913 Barbara Ann Charlton, of 4 High Street, age: 29, coalminer's wife
- 16 Apr 1930 William Creswell Ramsey, of 20 Shield Field Green, Newcastle, age: 58, killed on the highway at Kip Hill, Stanley, buried by Coroner's Order
- 12 Dec 1957 George Miles Handy, of 26 Beaconsfield Street, Stanley, age: 60, van driver
- 3 May 1914 William Proudlock Taylor, of 17 Garden Terrace, Stanley, age: 21, grocer, buried in the New Section
- 12 Mar 1924 John Coe, of 9 Joicey Terrace, Tanfield Lea, age: 80, retired miner, non parishioner, buried in the New Section
- 26 Mar 1932 Esther Rodham, of 98 Wear Road, Stanley, age: 49, bricklayer's wife, buried in the New Section
Besides street addresses in Stanley, abodes mentioned include Annfield Plain, Beamish, Birtley, Burnhope, Chilton, Consett, Craghead, Cresta, Cross Lanes, Crow's Nest, East Castle Colliery, Stanley, Edmondsley, Fatfield, Greenland, Havannah, High Stanley, Kip Hill, Nettlesworth, No Place, Oakey's Cottages, Ox Hill, Park House, Pea Farm, Plawsworth, Quaking Houses, Shield Row, South Moor, Stanley Bank Head, Stanley Hall, Stanley Hill Top, Tanfield Lea, Tantobie, Twizell, West Kyo, West Stanley, and White-le-Head.
Bishopwearmouth: Bethel Chapel (Congregational) baptisms & burials
At Bethel Chapel on Villiers Street in Bishopwearmouth, a non-conformist Congregationalist (or Independent) chapel:
- 233 baptisms covering 1811 to 1 Aug 1837
- 404 burials from November 1826 to May 1854 (these are all the burials that ever occurred at this site)
Bethel Chapel was built in 1817. The first three baptisms, dated 1811, 1814, and Dec 1817, are all from the same family, so they probably entered them all at once when the chapel opened in 1817.
Mother's maiden names were recorded in nearly all of these baptisms, as well as the child's birth date. The child's order in the family was also provided until the end of 1820. Here are some samples:
- 26 Mar 1819 Robert Brewis Hobson, of Bishopwearmouth, born 22-Feb 1819, 2nd son of Charles Hobson (shipwright) & Elizabeth Brewis
- 22 Jan 1829 Mary Sherwood Gaine, of East Cross Street, Bishopwearmouth, born 24-Oct 1828, [daughter] of Thomas Gaine (master mariner) & Elizabeth Sherwood
- 30 Jul 1837 Elizabeth Rippon, of Northumberland Street, Bishopwearmouth, born 31-May 1837, [daughter] of Thomas Rippon (butcher) & Leah Curry
Most of these burials show the occupation of the deceased or of the deceased's husband or father (but without naming the husband or father). Some samples:
- 14 Mar 1828 Joseph Baird, of Sans Street, Bishopwearmouth, age: 58, ship carpenter, died 10 Mar, vault 87
- 30 Jul 1834 Richard William Frater, of Derwent Street, age: 6 years 6 months, excise man's son, died 27 Jul, vault 57
- 13 Jan 1845 Elizabeth Doxford, of Bedford Street, age: 62, timber merchant's wife, died 7 Jan, vault 47
Here is an interesting article on Villiers Street from the Sunderland Antiquarians:
Here is an interesting article about the surrounding streets, from an 1892 Sunderland history – use your browser to search for "Bethel" to find your place; it occurs several times on the page.
The burials at Bethel Chapel were in underground vaults with alley-ways, which were added to the chapel in 1826. The 1827 Gazetteer of Durham says "Bethel Chapel, in Villiers-street, erected in 1817 and enlarged in 1826, is under the Congregational or Independent order of church government, and the Rev. Thomas Stratten is the present minister. A cemetery, constructed upon a novel plan, has just been attached to this chapel; it consists of long narrow vaults, arched over with brick work, all of which are approached through one entrance, so secured as to preclude the possibility of the bodies being feloniously disinterred." In 2006, a ground-penetrating radar survey was carried out by Ian Farmer Associates at the site of the Bethel Chapel at 12-14 Villiers Street. The report summary says, "A complex presence of interconnecting tunnels and vaults were identified and there may have been three areas used for burial. " Here is an article about locating the crypt in 2010:
Marriage bonds 1827-1828
984 marriage bonds filed in 1827 and 18286 in the Diocese of Durham. These are brand new, not previously in the bond index.
In this period, marriage bonds often provide ages, occupations, place of residence, and sometimes a father or mother for the bride and groom during a period when marriage registers did not provide that information. Please read the Marriage Bonds section of the Transcription Samples page for a description of what information is found in bonds, allegations, and associated documents, and how we present that information.
- 27 Dec 1827 John Iceton (widower), age 45, of Sedgefield, County Durham obtained a licence to marry Margaret Storow (spinster), age 21 and upwards, of Auckland St.Andrew, County Durham, directed to St.Andrew
- 21 Apr 1828 Joseph Heslop (stonemason, bachelor, minor with consent of his father), age 18, of Barnard Castle, County Durham, son of John Heslop, obtained a licence to marry Alice Kane (spinster, with consent of her father ), age 17, of Darlington, County Durham, daughter of John Kane, directed to Darlington
Marriage bonds cover the entire Diocese of Durham i.e. Durham, Northumberland, North Yorkshire. There are a few licences in the collection that were issued by York. Because bonds cover the whole diocese, there is no way to limit your search of bonds to a single district. If you select a district from the District menu, your selection will be ignored when the marriage bonds database is searched.
Whitburn and Gateshead Fell marriage witnesses added
- added 998 witnesses to the 494 marriages at Gateshead Fell St. John, from the start of that parish in 1825 to the beginning of civil registration on 1 July 1837. Also added one marriage missed the first time around.
- added 308 witnesses to the 106 marriages at Whitburn St. Mary from the start of 1813 to the beginning of civil registration on 1 July 1837. There are now the witnesses transcribed for all Whitburn marriages, from when witnesses started appearing in 1754

Obama urges Congress to 'compromise' on cuts
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing a Friday deadline, President Barack Obama said Monday that Congress can avert sweeping across-the-board cuts with "just a little bit of compromise," as he sought to stick lawmakers with the blame if the budget ax falls.
Speaking to the nation's governors, Obama acknowledged that the impact of the $85 billion in cuts may not be felt immediately. But he also said the uncertainty already is impacting the economy, as the Pentagon and other agencies get ready to furlough employees.
"At some point we've got to do some governing," Obama said. "And certainly what we can't do is keep careening from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis."
Despite Obama's urgent rhetoric, there is little indication that the White House and Congress will reach a deal by Friday. Obama wants to offset the so-called sequester through a combination of targeted spending cuts and revenue increases, but Republicans oppose any plan that would include tax hikes.
The $85 billion budget-cutting mechanism could affect everything from commercial flights to classrooms to meat inspections. Domestic and defense spending alike would be trimmed, leading to furloughs for hundreds of thousands of government workers and contractors.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said the cuts would harm the readiness of U.S. fighting forces. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said travelers could see delayed flights. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said 70,000 fewer children from low-income families would have access to Head Start programs. And furloughed meat inspectors could leave plants idled.

Authentic means: "of undisputed origin, made or done in a traditional way".
But I'm confused because every product made had some origin from a previous product or idea. The way I see it, buy authentic actually just means buy real but why should people buy real?
So, what does it mean to buy authentic?

Use MX records, provided by the G Suite Setup Wizard, to verify your domain (if you haven't already verified it) and to set up Gmail as your professional email.
After you've switched to Google's MX records, you can receive your email in your Gmail inbox or through an email client like MS Outlook.
How it works
- Keep setup instructions open and sign in to your domain host in another window or tab. Your host manages technical settings for your domain.
- You'll then update the MX record settings to direct your email to your G Suite account. It's like registering a new address with the post office so that your mail gets delivered.
- If you already use email with your domain (your email address ends with @yourdomain.com), you'll start receiving messages in Gmail instead of with your old email provider.
G Suite MX setup for your domain host (Recommended)
Get step-by-step MX setup instructions for your domain host. You'll find instructions for GoDaddy™, Enom™, 1&1 IONOS®, Dreamhost™, and many other domain hosts. Who is my domain host?
G Suite MX setup (Generic steps)
If you can't find instructions for your domain host, use these general steps.
Note: If people already have email with your domain (such as firstname.lastname@example.com), create their user accounts in the Google Admin console before you set up your MX records. That way, they'll continue to receive email.
- Sign in to your domain's account at your domain host. Who is my domain host?
Need help? Contact your domain host's Support team. Domain hosts are experts with MX records, and setup is a common task.
- Go to the section where you can update your domain's MX records. It might be called something like "DNS Management," "Mail Settings," or "Advanced Settings."
- Delete any existing MX records.
If you can't delete the existing records, change their priority number to 20 or higher.
- Add new MX records for the Google mail servers.
If your domain host limits the number of MX records, just add the first 2 records in this table.Values for G Suite MX records

Skip this step if you already verified your domain by another method (such as TXT record, HTML file, or meta tag).
If you need to verify your domain:
- Find the unique MX verification record provided by the G Suite Setup Wizard.
- Copy the entire record (ends in mx-verification.google.com) and paste it in the Value/Answer/Destination/Target column.
- Make sure the record's priority is set to Low or to 15 or greater.

It's no fun to wait, but the time for MX records to take effect depends on your domain host. We have no control over this. In the meantime, you can get your email messages at your old email client.
To start using Gmail
- Sign in to admin.google.com with your G Suite user name and password.

Making changes in California's taxation system is tantamount to a 90 pound weakling bench pressing half a ton. Just as the physical laws of nature prevent the latter, the pressures of interest group politics in California inhibit the former.
Given such constraints, it's easy to see why almost any proposal to alter California's revenue structure would almost immediately hit a huge political wall of resistance. Still, every once in a while a new idea merits some thought, if nothing else.
The days of cutting and cutting alone are over. If California is to provide basic services and be modestly competitive, we will have to find revenue somewhere. Expanding the sales tax base won't solve all of our problems, but it may well become part of the solution if legislators and the governor are willing to stop shielding services and beginning protecting the public good.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Looking at the sales tax is one place to start. Revenues from the sales tax have fallen considerably over the past quarter century, while dependence upon the the personal income tax has skyrocketed. In 1985, each of these taxes amounted to 35 percent of the state's revenues. Today income taxes amount to 56 percent of the state's take, while sales taxes have shrunk to 26 percent. This lopsided arrangement is most problematic when the economy suffers recession. During such periods, like the one we are going through now, income taxes fall precipitously with people out of work. Sales taxes fall, too, but not to the same degree.
But the big problem with sales taxes is the extent to which this revenue tool is limited in application. In fact, sales taxes in California are levied on only about 40 percent of the areas where they are commonly applied in other states. One recent study by the California
Board of Equalization finds that application of the sales taxes to a few basic and currently untaxed services would bring in over $2 billion annually. They include auto repairs and services ($1 billion), amusements and gambling ($650 million) sports and movie
tickets ($258 million) dry cleaning and laundry ($187 million), and car washes ($39 million).
Left out are the billions more that could be collected from taxation on services by physicians, lawyers, accountants, electricians and plumbers, not to mention the $1-2 billion that could be captured by applying sales taxes to on line purchases. Add it all up and
California could bring in another $4 to $5 billion annually without increasing any tax rates.
Perhaps some of these categories should be left out, maybe others not mentioned should be included. Either way, it seems that these service areas--long protected by interest groups--are long overdue for a close look.

(Burhinus grallarius)
Eerie wailing calls at night are often the only sign that bush stone-curlew are about. Not only have they become very rare in southern pastoral areas due to disturbance and predation, but they also come out to feed only at night. During the day they rest squatting down on their feet, head out and legs folded forward under the body, blending beautifully in with the ground. If disturbed, rather than fly they prefer to crouch, freeze or stalk stealthily off.
Open wooded rangelands, edges of forest and watercourses inland is where you can find the bush stone-curlew throughout Australia. They do avoid sandy or treeless deserts and heavy forest areas.
Most feeding is done on the ground, the birds puttering along, hunch-shouldered on spindly legs, turning over litter and picking up a variety of insects with their bills.
The bush stone-curlew usually breeds once during July and January. Their nest is a scrape or small clearing on bare ground, often near bush or a fallen limb. Two light stone to buff eggs with brown blotches are laid and incubated by both parents. Babies are full grown in about 50 days and the parents teach them to eat food by dropping it in front of them. If danger threatens, the parents will carry their young off under their wings.
Bird Call
Bush stone-curlews make a somewhat eerie, wailing noise at night, which is actually pretty cool! This call has been responsible for many a phone call to the police, from people thinking someone was screaming in the bush. For this reason the bush stone-curlew is also known as the 'Screaming Woman Bird'.
Bush Stone Curlew Profiles
Age: 17 Years (DOB 29/9/2002)
Sex: Male
Feathers was born and breed right here at Australia Zoo. He is definitely a favourite amongst the staff with those long legs and big staring eyes. He shares his time here being looked after by the Free Flight Bird Show team and receives lots of love and walks from the Roving crew every day.
Feathers was originally thought to be a star in the free flight show but the bright lights and fame were not his style. He now spends his day wandering the zoo grounds greeting patrons and having his photo taken. He is quite a character and often can't control his excitement doing crazy jumps and kicks in the air.
There are two species of curlews, bush-stone curlews, like Feathers, and also, beach curlews. They are also known as thick-knee curlews.
They will find and eat things such as insects, small reptiles and rodents. Feathers favourite snack when he is out and about is definitely crickets and cockroaches. So if you are lucky enough to adopt Feathers make sure you're not afraid of creepy crawlies.

Assad regime not welcome at Olympics
Dozens of officials in Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime will be blocked from attending the London Olympics, Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed Wednesday as he pledged to make the event "the greatest show on Earth."
Cameron said those subject to international travel bans and asset freezes would not be able to attend the sporting spectacle, which takes place from July 27 to Aug. 12.
"I don't think we should punish the athletes for the sins of the regime, so Syria will be taking part in the Games and that is right," Cameron told reporters as he held talks with International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge, who was in town for the IOC's final inspection visit before the games.
"But let's be absolutely clear, Britain has led efforts within the European Union and elsewhere to institute asset bans, travel freezes and punishing sanctions against this despicable regime. Anyone covered by one of those travel bans will not be welcome in London," Cameron said.
A total of 41 organizations and 127 people linked to the Syrian regime have had European Union sanctions imposed upon them, including Assad's British-born wife, Asma. Diplomats have conceded they could not prevent her from entering Britain, but insist they do not expect her to try to travel to the U.K.
Britain's Home Office, which is responsible for border control, will need to decide whether to grant a visa to attend the Olympics to Syrian Olympic Committee president Gen. Mowaffak Joumaa, a close Assad aide who is not currently covered by sanctions.
The ministry can deny entry if it feels an individual's presence in Britain would not be "conducive to the public good."
Cameron said he, Rogge and London organizing committee chairman Sebastian Coe used their talks to discuss transport, security planning and attempts to make sure ordinary people benefit from the legacy of the London Olympics.
The British leader – who said he runs and plays tennis once a week – insisted a key goal was to raise public participation in sports, particularly among young people. Cameron later played a game of badminton in the garden of his Downing Street home with Coe and two schoolgirls.
A key benefit from the Olympics would be "the inspiration people will feel when they see great British athletes, whether rowing in a race, riding on a bicycle or running on the track," Cameron said. "It's well known that this has a transformational effect."
"That's the bit you can't touch, but it is very, very powerful and I think can bring the country together," he said.
Rogge also met with former British Olympic stars Denise Lewis, Darren Campbell and Princess Anne, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth II, who competed in equestrian events at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
"London has raised the bar on how to deliver a lasting legacy. We can already see tangible results in the remarkable regeneration of east London," Rogge said.
The IOC delegation is meeting with London organizers through Friday to check on preparations, the 10th and final visit by the full coordination group since the British capital was awarded the games in July 2005.
"We are happy at the IOC," Rogge told reporters, when asked about London's readiness to host the events.
Coe told Cameron he was so happy with preparations so far that he "was delirious."

Little Rock's Josh Hagins made big shot for his hero Derek Fisher
Little Rock senior guard Josh Hagins came up the court with venom in his eyes and a Goliath to slay. Despite being smothered by a Purdue defender, Hagins pulled up about five feet beyond the three-point line and drained a contested jumper to tie and send the game to overtime.
After the clutch three, Hagins immediately trotted to the Little Rock fan section where a loud and heavily engaged crowd roared. Hagins pointed to former Lakers and Little Rock guard Derek Fisher and said "this was for you, this was for you." Fisher smiled and pointed back at Hagins, who was then mobbed his teammates.
"Obviously, I want to follow in his footsteps," Hagins said. "But, you know, Derek Fisher, man, he means everything to Arkansas-Little Rock."
Hagins said Fisher met with the team and shook his hand before the game. Hagins is hopeful that he can leave a portion of the impact that Fisher left on Little Rock.
Little Rock took down Purdue 85-83 in double overtime. Hagins had 31 points, but none more important than the three at the end of regulation. The Trojans, 30-4, are tied for the fewest losses in the NCAA. First-year coach Chris Beard, with the help of seniors like Hagins, has engineered the turnaround.

Context and Gift of the Givers involvement in Mauritania
Mauritania, located in West Africa, is one of the world's poorest countries and is ranked 161 out of 187 on the 2014 UNDP Human Development Index. It has a population of 3.5 million people (July 2014 Est), half of whom depend on livestock and agriculture for a livelihood. The southern area of the country is part of the Sahel region, which also includes Chad, Mali, Gambia, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Niger. According to the World Food Programme (WFP), the Sahel is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate variation and unpredictable rainfall, where the annual five to six month "lean season" always brings hunger.
Gift of the Givers has been involved in Mauritania since 2011 and has a dedicated South African staff member based in the country who oversees projects. We have successfully completed three solar powered wells in the south and have annual feeding projects during Ramadaan and at Eid al-Adha at four locations in the country. We have also supported education projects through the donation of solar panels and teaching aids. To date our biggest project has been the building of a mosque in Tiguent, the town located halfway between the capital Nouakchott and Rosso, the border crossing with Senegal.

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't posted for a while. The 12th May was the date of my last post. Well, in the last few weeks I have been on holiday. Me and the family took a trip to the USA and the Sunshine state to celebrate my birthday, as I recently turned 30.
We spent time in the theme parks in Orlando riding rollercoaster's and generally having fun, and we took a trip out to Tampa. The weather has been very hot and very sunny and we have all had a great time. We did intend to visit the beach but with the current oil disaster affecting the region we decided to give the beach a miss… which is a shame, I have been before and it is a beautiful place and I hope that the disaster does not have too much of an impact on the region.
My holidays and time off never fail to recharge my batteries and I always return home with fresh ideas and renewed motivation to develop my business and career.
I have few new business ideas that I will share with you shortly. On a career note I will be taking the upgrade exam for the MCITP SQL Server 2008 in the near future. I guess certification is whole debate on its own, before I left a few of the blogs a I follow were discussing the possibility of PASS offering a middle ground certification between MCITP and the MCM. Over the last few weeks I have lost touch with developments here but will pick up properly when I get home.
I also have a few more ideas for blog posts and articles and I will get them written up as soon as I can.
I have scheduled this post to go-live on Tuesday morning at 0705 UK which is the time my flight is scheduled to land at London Gatwick Airport. I then have a drive home and I know my wife (and I definitely will) will want to go and pick up our two golden retrievers, we have both missed them.

Click this link for the latest CW renewal / cancellation information: [rssinpage rssfeed='http://feeds.feedburner.com/TvbythenumbersCancel/renewCwShows' rssitems='1′ rssformat='Y']
Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts the network's decision on renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows by the end of the 2012-13 season in May, 2013. (includes results from December 31, 2012- January 13, 2013):
|Renew/ Cancel Index
|Gossip Girl*
|final season complete
|Emily Owens, M.D.
|Nikita (F)
|🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
|😐 😐 😐
|Hart Of Dixie
|😐 😐 😐
|Beauty And The Beast
|😐 😐 😐
|Vampire Diaries
Although last night's relatively weak start for The Carrie Diaries may make the question in the headline moot, this was already written, so go with it.
Since it premiered just last night, The Carrie Diaries ratings haven't yet been incorporated into the table above or predictions yet, but with nothing happening last week on the CW save the burn off the the doomed Emily Owens, MD, it's worth posing the question:
If The Carrie Diaries gets renewed, what additional show gets canceled?
Yes, fans of 90210, Hart Of Dixie, Beauty & The Beast, even before The Carrie Diaries premiered one of those shows was certain to be canceled, if The Carrie Diaries is renewed, another one will be as well.
But which one will it be? If you're trying to read the tea leaves of the latest remarks of CW Chief Mark Pedowitz, you have my sympathies.
I could make a reasonable argument for all three. 90210 gets its series wrap up this season instead of next. The CW can jettison Hart Of Dixie instead of being "albatrossed" with it for two more seasons (ala, Nikita). Beauty & The Beast was already top of the "next to cancel" list.
How can Nikita with the lowest ratings on the network be "likely to be renewed"? The pull of a fourth season for syndication purposes is one of the strongest forces in the TV universe. Read more about it here.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
From now through the end of the broadcast season in May, the Renew/Cancel Index values will only be calculated using new episodes airing during 2013. However, until new episodes of a show air in 2013, I will keep the "old" Fall predictions in the table.
Want to know what the CW Renew/Cancel Index table looked like at the end of the Fall season? Click here.
- 😳 – certain to be cancelled by May, 2013
- 😥 :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2013
- 😐 😐 😐 – toss up between renewal or cancellation by May, 2013
- 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 – more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2013
- – certain to be renewed by May, 2012
The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.

Common Birth Defect May Raise Risk of Testicular CancerIf testes don't descend, these males may need to be monitored for later malignancy.
THURSDAY, Nov. 29, 2012 (HealthDay News) — Boys whose testes have not descended at birth have an increased risk of developing testicular cancer later in life, a new study says.
The findings raise the question of whether these boys should be regularly monitored to lower their potential risk for testicular cancer, the researchers said.
When testes fail to descend into the scrotum and remain in the abdomen, the condition is called cryptorchidism. It's the most common birth defect in boys and affects about 6 percent of newborn males.
Researchers analyzed 12 studies published between 1980 and 2010 that examined the link between cryptorchidism and testicular cancer. Based on the collective findings of those studies, the researchers calculated that boys with cryptorchidism were nearly three times more likely to develop testicular cancer later in life than those without cryptorchidism.
The findings are published online Nov. 28 in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.
It's not known how certain aspects of cryptorchidism and surgery to correct the disorder may affect the risk of developing testicular cancer, said Robert Carachi, of the department of surgical pediatrics at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow, Scotland, and colleagues.
The most important question raised by the study is whether the increased risk of testicular cancer is significant enough to require regular follow-up for males born with cryptorchidism, the researchers said in a journal news release.
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 20 to 45. Worldwide rates of the cancer have increased substantially over the past few decades.

With recurrent use of the internet, security of a system is becoming an increasingly important concern as most of the viruses and spywares slip on to a computer via internet. Sometimes they make their way through browsers or sometimes as bundlers, and make the system vulnerable to harmful threats. Softwares like anti-spywares and firewalls prevent and remove computer viruses. Usually, such softwares include a "real-time" protection feature which endeavors to block incoming viruses before they infect a computer. Some of the softwares can also scan the computer for infections and even require regular updating to remain effective against new threats.

La Stanza del Duca
Typical Tuscan Restaurant
There is a club inside IL BORGHETTO – "La stanza del Duca" (The Duke's Room) – whose sole purpose is to let our guests know of our dishes, cooked according to local traditional Tuscan cuisine and a selection of fine Tuscan wines.
For us dinnertime is not only a moment in which to offer our guests our typical cuisine but also an occasion to get to know each other better, exchange opinions in front of tasty typical dishes expertly cooked by "Mamma Silvana" helped by other chefs.
We are very pleased to give you a description of the preparation of our dishes but the best way to appreciate them is to taste them because a lot depends on who cooks and a lot depends on the fresh products used according to the season, therefore also the recipes change according to the period of the year and the products that are available at that moment.
We always offer a fixed menu for dinner
and it is different every evening, made up of assorted starters, a first course of pasta, a second course of meat and vegetables, and dessert.
As regarding the wines, you will find a vast assortment in our wine list.
Our starters
are always a taste of typical local products, grown and produced in the Tuscan farms which dot our countryside, such as salamis and cheese accompanied by crostini (toasted rounds of bread) or "bruschette" (garlic bread)
Our first courses
vary from the most simple recipes such as pasta with freshly-picked tomatoes and basil or with the vegetables in season, to more traditional recipes such as tagliatelle with a meat sauce or mushrooms or the "zuppa di pane" (bread soup), pasta with saffron, fresh home-made pasta such as ravioli, lasagne, "pici", pancakes served with various kinds of meat and vegetable sauces.
As a second course
we propose various kinds of meats such as chicken, pork, veal, wild boar, rabbit either grilled or cooked in a pan with herbs.
Each second course is accompanied by vegetables going from the traditional roast potatoes, green peas, assorted grilled, sautèd or fried vegetables to vegetable flans with artichokes or spinach, varying according to what is freshly growing in our Tuscan countryside at the time.
The desserts
ending our dinner are: fresh fruit salad with ice-cream, fruit mousse, "panna cotta", "tiramisù", amaretto cream, fruit tarts, sorbets of various flavours.
After dinner, coffee, cappuccino or tea are served according to one's liking.
Please come to try and … Buon Appetito!!

While no one would deny the role of the legislative branch under the constitutional system, seldom do most people listen to what lawmakers actually say on the floor of the Legislative Yuan, apart from watching edited video clips on television.
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Liu Chao-hao's (劉櫂豪) questioning of Prosecutor-General Huang Shih-ming (黃世銘) on Sept. 25 became a rare exception as the video recording of his 13-minute-long question-and-answer session went viral on the Internet, attracting more than 430,000 hits.
The phenomenon occurred at the peak of the fiercest political strife in recent memory, with President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九), Premier Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺), Huang and Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng (王金平) at the center of the storm, which maybe sparked people's unusual interest in what one lawmaker had to say.
However, it was Liu's eloquence and pointed questioning, which often left Huang speechless, as well as his ability to explain the legal and political complexity of the controversy in a simple way that caught people's attention. The judge-turned-lawmaker, who is an experienced politician, became an instant hit.
Meanwhile, several international media outlets have again brought up the legislature's notorious reputation for brawls and endless boycotts when they reported the Chinese Nationalist Party's (KMT) internal power struggle and the current tensions between the administrative and legislative branches, which escalated due to the prosecutors' alleged wiretapping of the legislature's switchboard.
More than half of the respondents in a recent survey conducted by Taiwan Indicators Survey Research said they do not oppose the use of police power to ensure the legislative proceedings run smoothly.
Liu's questioning and the legislature's shameful standing in the public eye appear to reflect how good and how bad the lawmaking body can be amid the public's call for legislative reform in reaction to the political crisis, which began with an allegation over improper lobbying.
With the now famous Liu interpellation, lawmakers should be able to realize that they do not have to resort to extreme measures — such as humiliating government officials or physical confrontation — to get noticed. Other than Liu, DPP legislators Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴), Lee Chun-yi (李俊俋) and Tuan Yi-kang (段宜康) are known for their sharp questioning ability, but most other legislators have gotten little attention.
The opposition perhaps should also learn a lesson about how people view the legislature. Despite the opposition boycotts of the podium or pushing and shoving (which often have sensible justifications), the legislature has never been "at a standstill" as the ruling party describes it. Meetings of subcommittees proceeded as usual. Still people seemed to be exhausted by what they read in newspapers and see on television about this most important democratic institution.
The question worth asking is why the DPP, which could not have possibly been unaware of people's disgust of boycotts and physical confrontations, still took those actions in the legislature.
At the very least, the tradition of partisanship is one of the main reasons why sensible discussions are absent in the legislature, where party position and policies are always the top priority.
If the DPP has a thing or two to learn about about how their efforts to protect the public interests end up unappreciated, the KMT — the perennial majority party — has much to learn about what is best for the nation.

Current Research: My research focuses on biodiversity inventorying in the Upper Midwest, particularly in South Dakota, and on spider and beetle systematics and taxonomy. Spiders are of ecological, medical, and economic importance, and a thorough understanding of the abundance and distribution of each species in a given region can help us make better decisions regarding biodiversity conservation, medical diagnoses of potential spider bites, and integrated pest management (IPM) implementation for crop protection. Knowledge of the spider fauna of South Dakota and the rest of the Upper Midwest is woefully inadequate, so my lab works to collect and identify spiders in this region while also educating the general public about the integral roles these ubiquitous predators play in ecosystems. Currently, I am working on an inventory of the spiders of the Fort Pierre National Grassland, as well as the spider and beetle faunas in pristine prairie remnants and reseeded CRP land. These projects are part of a broader research initiative for my lab, the South Dakota Spider Survey (SDSS). The goal of the SDSS is to catalog the abundance and distribution of spider species throughout the state to provide detailed imaging of each species for easier identification in general and medical settings, and accurate information regarding each species, including detailed maps of known collection locations for each county, current taxonomy (scientific species names and family information), and relevant scientific literature.
