Another example of how to build Qradar apps safely.
Answer by BradPark (327) | Aug 14, 2018 at 12:34 PM
What is Subprocess? Subprocess in a python module that allows a program to execute shell commands. Processes can be created and ran by using either the synchronous .call() command, or creating an asynchronous pOpen object.
Many times, there is a way to avoid using the subprocess module (or a related module) to preform functions at the os level. For example, os.remove('somefile.txt') is a much safer alternative to using subprocess.call('rm somefile.txt'). https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html
What is Command Injection?
Command injection is the result of allowing unexpected user input into a shell command. For subprocess, this can be caused by asking a user for something simple like a filename, and receiving a malicious string. Example:
We have the following python code set up, attempting to create a file with a name specified by the user: import subprocess
file_name = input('Enter the name of a file')
subprocess.call("touch " + file_name, shell=True)
This code introduces a serious security vulnerability. Nothing is stopping our user from adding a semicolon
; after their filename, and passing in another command. Something like
some_file; rm -rf / #, would be devastating if allowed to run.
Protection Against Malicious Intent
When it comes to protecting against command injection, the single best way to prevent an attack is by never allowing user input as a parameter. This may not always be an option though, so with subprocess there are a couple different things you can consider.
The shell flag in subprocess' call() and Popen() can greatly impact the way in which input is interpreted. When shell=True, The parameters passed to the function can be considered multiple commands to execute. For Example:
filename = "something; ls"
subprocess.call("touch " + filename, shell=True)
The above example will cause two separate shell commands to be executed. 'touch something' will be executed, followed by 'ls'. When shell is set to False, Popen() and call() will consider their input as one continuous command. For the above example, this means 'touch "something; ls"' will be the command executed rather than two seperate commands.
Another method to consider is passing commands into subprocess as an array.
For Example: filename = "something; ls" subprocess.call(["touch ", filename], shell=True) Or subprocess.call(["touch ", filename], shell=False)
The usage of an array protects the system from multiple commands being run whether shell is set to True or False. When an array is used, each index is considered a single parameter.

The gadget show live returned to the NEC for 2016 and I received tickets and decided to take an unofficial review of the event along with trying a more on the go style of recording footage.
This year there were a number of record breaking attempts along with the usual gadget show live experience, and the plethora of stalls with all of your gadgety needs available to purchase. New to this year however there was also a yogscast special event, which it was lead to believe would be through the friday ticket but turned out to require it's own ticket so while I would have attended it seemed I was unable to as a result of the ticket type I had been provided.
There were some new games on show and available to play both in regular form as well as a variety of 3d methods ranging from simple headsets utilizing your smartphone, through a unidirectional treadmill used to traverse a van gogh experience to the advanced 3d experience of the vive which allows you to interact while moving fully around your own room. I did have a press session with esper2 booked which I will be bringing you a review of separately later.
There were some other interesting events going on around the hall with a "robot wars" clone with competition to pit the other competitors as opposed to dismembering their robots.
I felt there weren't as many items which were featured on the show to see around the halls and it felt simply like an excuse to sell gadgets, even if it was a range of products which had been tested during john bentleys trials it would have been something more associated with the show. There were some unique things available to buy such as getting your own 3d printed model made at the show however this would really be something to know in advance so you can ensure you would look as you wish for the model whereas if you show up not ready for a model then you're not going to wish to purchase one as they aren't inexpensive.
Previous years had featured a chance to queue to get something signed by the gadget show crew however this year there was no such stall, as I had stated in previous years the security had been pretty terrible telling you not to queue early telling you to come back at X time then when you came back the queue was "full" so I missed out meeting the crew and getting things signed on my birthday because of that useless security guard ruining the day, so that get's removed by removing the chance to get anything signed entirely but it also removes another step of the actual event being related to the gadget show as you would have to attend the live session in the hall with tickets to such in order to see the presenters whatsoever, while in the hall you could queue for the yogscast to meet them and have things signed it seemed more like the yogscast were the main draw for many attendees on the day I visited.
The day was enjoyable and if you wanted to attend it would be recommended that you purchase the supertheatre tickets in order to get your moneys-worth out of the experience, other previous benefits have included discounts on products for show attendees and special competitions which only attendees could participate in, there were very few of these with most stalls being full retail and offering little in special variety or discount over online purchase, but most of the stalls were things to participate in with the likes of the gaming section, and a very large creativity section encouraging youngsters to learn about engineering and creativity through paperwork, and another large section with driving experiences from learning to drive and be driven in a small circle in a tesla motor car, for a ridiculously long queue and a rather fun remote controlled vehicle race section with prizes, unfortunately I played in the session directly after the finals for that day and won my race which would have placed me in the finals to win the trophy had I been able to play and it would have been good to try out for the trophy but I played too late.
I felt something was lacking during the experience and it was hard to put my finger on exactly what was wrong, but I think there was a distinct lack of upcoming technology or anything particularly special, sure there were a lot of vr experiences but it seemed that the show had been downgraded for a much younger audience as opposed to providing a variety of products to try and buy, also looking for active noise cancelling headphones in any of the audio sections proved rather difficult and I was only able to find one pair at a ridiculously expensive price, however this provides ample ground to learn for next year's event, to provide a wider range of products, more from the show, and perhaps a better chance to interact with the presenters on the show floor, as they would be the main draw for any attendee.

Swifty & Selena go bowling with Cory
Taylor Swift has been touring. But there was a 6 day break. So she's back in LA and met up with her BFF Selena Gomez last night, among others, and they hit up the bowling alley. Cute. Cory Monteith, or someone who looks a lot like Cory Monteith, was also there. There had been reports that the two are dating...
Curiously those reports surfaced just as gossips started buzzing about her relationship with John Mayer. Click here and here for a refresher. Back in January and February it was slamdunk. My Nashville sources say Swifty was indeed with Douchey...
And then the tour kicked in. Just in time. Because that was when the masturbation and the Jessica Simpson crack/sexual napalm controversy exploded.
So... where's John Mayer now?
Funny that. He's playing LA tomorrow night so he's in town. And so is she.
Totally unrelated right?
No conspiracy, only a coincidence? Please.

If you are stuck on gift ideas for girls, or especially teens, then here is one idea that is sure to make them happy.
If you are not sure just what they are, they are in fact a thin vinyl "skin" that safely sticks to the laptop or notebook and personalizes your teens computer. There are many to choose from now, and they can be changed easily, so you can purchase a few for fun. This makes a great gift idea.
As you can see with some of the example pictures, there are some fun and funky designs now in the skins, and they are easy to apply.
You can get them in all kinds of colors, and they come complete with instructions on how to get them on the laptop just right. They are affordable, some are under 10 dollars. This will put a smile on their face as they open their gift.
Not only are cool computer skins sold in cool colors and designs (literally hundreds to choose from) but these are also great at protecting the surface of the computer and of course being able to quickly identify her own electronics by the cover.
Now that many girls or teens have them, it only makes sense that they will want to personalize them. You can get these in electronic stores, but you may find that the best selection is online in Laptop Skin Stores where there are pages of them to choose from. Tons of great designs and beautiful pictures.
Find a Cool Laptop Skin That Fits
You will need to know the make and model of the computer or notebook you would like to buy a cover for, this helps to get the best fit possible. There are many companies that make the laptop skin customizable to fit.
How to Apply
The trick is to make sure the surface of the computer top is COMPLETELY free of grease and dirt. This is the hardest part as kids handle their laptops and notebooks everyday. Start with a damp cloth, but you can also use a bit of rubbing alcohol to get rid of any grease or fingerprints. Make sure you clean the outer edges well too, as this will be the first place your skin will peel if it is not clean. Take the time to clean it well.
Once you have done that, it is simply a matter of peeling off the backing and placing the skin on the laptop. They come with step by step instructions, but many have you start from one end and slowly apply the skin. It can totally change the look in seconds. This is a great way to spruce up one that has scratches and is looking dull. But for a lot of girls this is a great way to personalize their own computer.
These laptop skins are not restricted to gift ideas for girls but for anyone. There are so many to choose from. There are the designs aimed at younger girls and teens with the pinks and the designs that pop and the 3D effects, but there are also more subtle designs that work well too.
Some are beautiful photographs and vivid scenes. Laptop Skin Stores online can be the best place to find them, as the local electronic stores will have limited options of colors and designs.
So if you are looking for a great gift ideas for girls, especially young teen girls, then this is one gift you won't have to take back, they will love it. If you are concerned about which design to choose, you can always get a gift certificate from the online store and let your teen pick her own.
So, check them out yourself and maybe you will get one for your dull looking laptop!

I hope to see some North Country friends and familiar faces this weekend…on either Friday night 12/6 or Saturday 12/7…9pm to 12mid on both nights, with a bonus 'power hour' Saturday at 4pm.
My thanks to Sam at Tony Cee & Associates' booking agency for this one!

text: A provocative book "The Great Emergence" by Phyllis Tickle attempts to examine the ways religion has changed and is changing today. She especially examines Christianity in what is known as the Western world. She finds that about every 500 years, a shift happens and the old paradigm bursts and a new way of being Christian in the world emerges out of its chrysalis and the new 'butterfly' takes flight. I found this examination useful and set me to wondering and watching to see what will emerge.

As American society ages and baby boomers enter retirement, elder abuse has become alarmingly more common. Elder abuse can take a variety of forms, from physical abuse to financial exploitation. Victims of abuse are often vulnerable and forced to rely on others for care and guidance.
What Is Financial Abuse?
Financial exploitation is a surprisingly prevalent form of elder abuse. It is on the rise in nursing homes, senior living facilities and other caretaking situations. This type of abuse can be committed by friends, caregivers or even family members. Other perpetrators include financial advisers, predatory lenders, bankers and others with access to the elder's funds.
Examples of financial exploitation include:
- Gaining access to the victim's finances and misusing funds
- Persuading the victim to change his or her will or power of attorney in favor of the abuser
- Squandering the victim's life savings
- Stealing the victim's credit cards or engaging in other forms of identity theft
Unscrupulous businesses also sometimes take advantage of vulnerable elders by soliciting funds through mailings or phone calls. Elders are targets of full-fledged scams, including phony charities, fraudulent investment opportunities and fake prize contests.
Whether committed by an individual or business, financial abuse often goes undetected until the damage has already been done.
Pursuing Justice And Relief
Fortunately, the law offers a path to relief and justice for victims of elder abuse. California law creates a special type of claim for elders 65 and older who have been subjected to physical or financial abuse. Victims may be able to recover monetary damages, including actual losses and attorney fees.
If you know or suspect that a loved one has been a victim of elder abuse, it is critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Step-By-Step Legal Guidance
I am Brian J. O'Grady, an elder abuse lawyer serving Silicon Valley and the surrounding areas. As a trial lawyer with more than three decades of experience, I understand how to successfully pursue elder abuse claims. I have handled thousands of cases in personal injury and other areas of law over the course of my career. When you turn to me for help, you can expect honest, straightforward advice and step-by-step guidance from the outset.

Post Syndicated from Bradley M. Kuhn original http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2009/12/06/anatomy-gpl-violation.html
I've been thinking the last few weeks about the evolution of the GPL
violation. After ten years of being involved with GPL enforcement, it
seems like a good time to think about how things have changed.
Roughly, the typical GPL violation tracks almost directly the adoption
and spread of Free Software. When I started finding GPL violations, it
was in a day when Big Iron Unix was still king (although it was only a
few years away from collapse), and the GNU tools were just becoming
state of the art. Indeed, as a sysadmin, I typically took a proprietary
Unix system, and built a /usr/local/ filled with the GNU tools, because
I hated POSIX tools that didn't have all the GNU extensions.
At the time, many vendors were discovering the same frustrations I was
as a sysadmin. Thus, the typical violation in those days was a
third-party vendor incorporating some GNU tools into their products, for
use on some Big Iron Unix. This was the age of the violating backup
product; we saw frequently backup products that violated the GPL on GNU
tar in those days.
As times changed, and computers got truly smaller, the embedded
Unix-like system was born. GNU/Linux and (more commonly) BusyBox/Linux
were the perfect solutions for this space. What was once a joke on
comp.os.linux.advocacy in the 1990s began to turn into a reality: it was
actually nearly possible for Linux to run on your toaster.
The first class of embedded devices that were BusyBox/Linux-based were
the wireless routers. Throughout the 2000s, the typical violation was
always some wireless router. I still occasionally see those types of
products violating the GPL, but I think the near-constant enforcement
done by Erik Andersen, FSF, and Harald Welte throughout the 2000's has
led the wireless router violation to become the exception rather than
the rule. That enforcement also led to the birth of community-focused
development of the OpenWRT and DD-WRT, that all started from that first
enforcement that we (Erik, Harald and FSF (where I was at the time)) all
did together in 2002 to ensure the WRT54G source release.
In 2009, there's a general purpose computer in almost every electronics
product. Putting a computer with 8MB RAM and a reasonable processor in
a device is now a common default. Well, BusyBox/Linux was always the
perfect operating system for that type of computer! So, when you walk
through the aisles of the big electronics vendors today, it's pretty
likely that many of the devices you see are BusyBox/Linux ones.
Some people think that a company can just get away with ignoring the
GPL and the requirements of copyleft. Perhaps if a company has five
customers total, and none of them ask for source, your violation may
never be discovered. But, if you produce a mass market product based on
BusyBox/Linux, some smart software developer is going to eventually buy
one. They are going to get curious, and when they poke, they'll see
what you put in there. And, that developer's next email is going to be
to me to tell me all about that device. In my ten years of enforcement
experience, I find that a company's odds of "getting away"
with a GPL violation are incredibly low. The user community eventually
notices and either publicly shames the company (not my preferred
enforcement method), or they contact someone like me to pursue
enforcement privately and encourage the company in a friendly way to
join the FLOSS community rather than work against it.
I absolutely love that so many companies have adopted BusyBox/Linux as
their default platform for many new products. Since circa 1994 when I
first saw the "can my toaster run Linux?" joke, I've dreamed
of time when it would be impossible to buy a mass-market electronics
product without finding FLOSS inside. I'm delighted we've nearly
reached that era during my lifetime.
However, such innovation is made possible by the commons created by the
GPL. I have dedicated a large portion of my adult life to GPL
enforcement precisely because I believe deeply in the value of that
commons. As I find violator after violator, I look forward to welcoming
them to our community in a friendly way, and ask them to respect the
commons that gave them so much, and give their code back to the
community that got them started.

Since 2009, Americana trio The Boxcar Lilies have been wowing audiences with their standout marriage of superb songwriting and spine-tingling, innovative harmonies.
Based in Western Massachusetts, The Lilies are Jenny Goodspeed, Stephanie Marshall, and Katie Clarke. Each an accomplished performer in her own right, they married their love (read: obsession) for great songwriting and three-part harmonies and in 2011, joined forces with esteemed producer Dave Chalfant (Erin McKeown, The Nields) to record their debut CD Heartwood. Tracks from the record have been played on radio stations both in the U.S. and abroad, including Gene Shay's The Folk Show (WXPN, Philadelphia), WRSI (Northampton, MA), and on Rich Warren's Midnight Special(WFMT, Chicago/Syndicated) when it was named one of "Rich's Picks".
Accompanying themselves on guitar, clawhammer banjo, concert ukulele, and washboard, the Lilies are quickly making a name for themselves as they bring their uniquely warm sound and energetic stage presence to venues across the Northeast, including The Birchmere Music Hall, Club Passim, and Philadelphia's Tin Angel, and opening for legendary performers like Bill Staines and The Seldom Scene. They were recently selected to perform an official showcase at the 2012 International Folk Alliance Conference.

Engaging Father Christmas
Gunn, Robin Jones. 2008. Engaging Father Christmas.
Engaging Father Christmas is the sequel to Finding Father Christmas. Both are holiday novellas set in England. I've not read the first one; however, my mother has read it and adored it. Can the second one stand alone? Yes and no. I think it could stand alone. I read it without having read the first one in the series. And I was able to get enjoyment from the reading of it. But there were just a few teeny tiny things that I got confused about. Questions that would have been answered--I suppose technically questions that would never have been asked--if I'd read the first book.
Engaging Father Christmas is a romance. Miranda Carson is in love (with Ian) and visiting her family (and his family) for the Christmas season. Their relationship is strong, and she knows that he is going to proposing...it's just a matter of when and how. Miranda's life hasn't been easy--she never knew who her father was, her mother was an actress. This holiday season could be a lonely one for her--both her parents being dead-but she has sought refuge with her father's family. (In Finding Father Christmas, she set out to discover just WHO her father was. She learned who he was--a married man, a rather famous man too--but she discovered it too late to have met him. He was already dead. She did find her father's wife and her half-brother and his family.)
The novella was cute enough I suppose. And I imagine I would have enjoyed it more if I'd read the first book before reading this one.
Also, I think it comes down to a matter of taste. My mom just loves, loves, loves to read holiday novellas--little short books with pretty covers. In fact, she'll read them in July. She was SO excited that I was getting a chance to review this one. So for the right person in your live--this one will be a great addition.

Square Manor is much more than a place to live; it is a community. It was
founded by the Fonthill community in 2001, and it has itself become a
community of people who know and care about one another. People have moved
to Town Square Manor for a variety of reasons. Some have come to be free
from the cares and stresses of home ownership. Some have come for the safe
environment and the security of being near family and friends. Some have
come for the pleasant surroundings and the benefits of small town living.
When the residents of Town Square Manor look back on their decision, they know that investing themselves and their resources in this community was a wise thing to do. In the heart of Fonthill, life lease retirement living at Town Square Manor is a great way to enjoy the best of what this community has to offer.
Life Lease living is independent living in that residents have their own suites. Yet residents can also take advantage of the many common features including a lounge and kitchen in which they can entertain family and friends. An active volunteer committee arranges a varied program of events which is open to all who live here.
The many advantages of Town Square Manor include:
The development was created by a local Christian, Ecumenical community, namely:
Each church continues to support the work of the Corporation by appointing two directors to the Board.

I recently came back from a trip to Iowa. Normally I tend to visit the states closes to California such as Nevada, Oregon and Arizona. I am going to visit you Utah soon! This trip was to drop off my nephew in Iowa to start his collage career and explore what Iowa had to offer.
Iowa is very beautiful. Everywhere I looked I saw corn fields. There were beautiful blue skies and an occasionally sudden shower, like if the sky just dumped water on us. The people there are very friendly and never pushy. Even when there was traffic I don't believe I heard anyone honk their horn to get someone else move. It was then that I realize how unfriendly city people can be. We are always in a rush to get to places and very impatient in the streets.
I enjoyed the beautiful barns and small towns in Iowa. Everything seem more relaxed. The nights are very quiet in Ames even for a college town. There is so many interesting things to do but I didn't get a chance to visiting all of them.
The only thing I didn't like in Iowa was the food. Maybe I have been spoiled with all the variety of food in California. I am a big foodie and good food is an essential for any trip I make. While eating a microwaved cooked tortilla served with chunks of meat and labeled as a taco I realized how much I missed California. Especially the food.
I fell in love with California all over again. Its not until you leave home that you miss it. I missed the mountains, desserts, beaches and forest California has. My dream to explore California became stronger. My love for California was reinforced. I want to see my backyard and enjoy all the hidden treasures California has to offer. Each state has its own beauty and it is up to the residents of that state to show off their states beauty. I will show off my state, California. Come back for more blogs on California and thank you for visiting.

Windows That Clean Themselves - Simply Clean Self Cleaning Glass "Neat"
Simply-Clean Glass is a special dirt repelling coating (a smooth hydrophilic surface on the outside #1 surface and the LoE on the inside #2 surface) applied to "mirror" quality glass simultaneously. Simply-Clean Glass reduces frequent, strenuous, and expensive exterior window cleaning.
With Simply-Clean® coating on your windows, the sun will actually help to keep the glass clean. As the sun's rays contact the coating, Simply-Clean® is activated, helping break down dust, dirt and other organic deposits. The rain then washes away the residue left behind so you won't have to clean the windows as often.
Note: After installation wash glass surface with 20% vinegar and 80% water solution mix.

09 Nov 5 New Ways to Keep a Hangover from Ruining Your Weekend or Life
Posted at 16:16h in News
Just wave your magic wine wand—yeah, that's a thing now.
Ah, the holidays. Between office parties (open bar!), endless socializing (post-shopping cocktails!), and for better or worse, more family gatherings than usual (can someone please open another bottle of wine?), there's a decent chance you're going to over-imbibe at least once this season. Here, five products and services that claim to help with that hangover, from banishing it after a night out to preventing it in the first place.

Facts and features from within the company!
FFWD Wheels specialises in Hand Built Carbon Wheels which are all assembled at our Head Quarter in the Dutch town of Zwolle. Our wheel builders pay close attention to every wheel and work from start to finish on each wheel. FFWD Wheels are no mass product! FFWD Wheels are of high quality; light, fast and strong! Hand built in the Netherlands.
All parts of the wheels have been selected fort heir high quality standards and reputation. Hubs by DT Swiss, spokes and nipples from Sapim and DT Swiss. Together with our rims the FFWD wheel builders create a durable product to make you go faster.
With one of the three hub options by DT Swiss (FFWD, DT240 or DT180) and Sapim CX-Ray or DT Aerolite spokes wheels are build in a traditional configuration with 20 spokes in the front wheel and 24 spokes in the rear wheel. The spokes are attached to the rim with DT Swiss Pro-Lock brass nipples. All FFWD rims are designed for outside spoke nipples to make service very easy.
During the building process of a wheel, spokes are being stretched to prevent you have to true the wheels after a certain time or distance. By stretching the spokes with lots of force you might not have to true the wheels for years.
Spoke tension for the front and rear wheels are:
It's very important that each spoke has the right tension!
The FFWD carbon rims are designed to offer the best combination of Aerodynamics and strength at the lowest possible weight. To achieve this FFWD rims are built with different types of carbon. Below a 3k carbon layer as finish lies an UniDirectional carbon layer. The UniDirectional carbon offers stiffness and reduces the weight where the 3k layers offers strength and protects from possible impacts to the carbon.
In each FFWD rim there is a carbon reinforcement strip around the spoke holes to work with outside spoke nipples and to enable our wheel builders to put all the tension on the rims.
All FFWD rims are molded with a process we call EcomTM (Equal Compression). This means that the rims are molded with a custom-made air bag that has the inner shape of the rim [1]. This makes sure that the pressure/compression is equal on the entire inner surface of the rim. Result is a practically void less rim section and a smooth wall on the inside of the rim. Without voids, the carbon sheets are completely fused into one system. The rim structure is much better and you can make the rim lighter and stronger.
It is also beneficial for the nipples that have a better seat on the carbon on a smooth surface. This will prevent spoke, nipple or spoke hole failures.
At FFWD Wheels we are constantly working on improvement of our products. In this process of testing different materials we know that sometimes the combination of compounds will make the difference between good or great. It's extremely important for the best performance to use the recommended and supplied brake pads for all FFWD carbon rims.
Go faster with the power to stop!
The FFWD Confidence Brake Technology (CBT) for carbon rims delivers an improved modulation and reliability with an increase in stopping power by 30%. This technology will provide the rider with consistent and responsive braking control in all conditions.
Going faster starts with the confidence that you can!

THE three musicians of Trio Da Kali hail from the Mande culture of Mali, from a heritage of distinguished griots, the caste of specialist hereditary musical artisans.
Their performance offers a rare glimpse into the soul of the griot's art, celebrating the African continent's finest, most subtle and sublime music.
The trio's performance revolves around the soaring, rounded vibrato voice of Hawa Kassé Mady.
Few can match the lyricism and dazzling virtuosity of Lassana Diabeté on the balafon, while Mamadou Kouyaté completes the trio with punchy bass lines on the ngoni, West Africa's oldest string instrument.
Auspiciously, the trio's first international appearance was at the BBC Proms in summer 2013; they have since gone on to collaborate with the celebrated Kronos Quartet, and were most recently seen with Toumani Diabaté at last year's London Jazz Festival.

Former Ladue Financial Adviser Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges
|U.S. Attorney's Office June 07, 2013
ST. LOUIS, MO—Greg J. Campbell pled guilty to diverting over $1.8 million from client retirement accounts to finance his luxury home, cars, and lifestyle.
According to court documents, from June 2006 until October 2011, Campbell was employed as a financial adviser at Merrill Lynch. Campbell managed clients' Loan Management Accounts (LMAs), which were lines of credit collateralized by securities. Beginning in September 2007 and continuing until the end of his employment in October 2011, Campbell fraudulently diverted more than $1.4 million from LMAs to his own personal accounts and the accounts of others and for his own personal use. He used the money for a down payment on a personal residence, mortgage payments, lease payments on luxury vehicles, and living expenses.
In November 2011, Campbell began working as a senior wealth manager for Four Seasons Wealth Management (Four Seasons) in Clayton. Four Seasons was a company that offered securities and advisory services to clients through LPL Financial LLC (LPL), a securities broker-dealer. Campbell was employed at Four Seasons until October 2012 and managed clients' individual retirement accounts (IRAs). Between November 2011 and October 2012, Campbell diverted funds from his clients' IRAs to his own personal accounts. Campbell took various steps to conceal his fraud. He changed the mailing addresses on clients' accounts, without their knowledge, to an address to which he had access so that clients would not receive account statements. In at least one instance, Campbell falsely stated on distribution documents that he was the client's grandson, when he was not related to the client. During his tenure at Four Seasons, Campbell fraudulently diverted more than $360,000 from client accounts.
Campbell used fraudulently diverted funds to pay for personal expenses, including renovations to his personal residence, mortgage payments, vehicle lease payments, and living expenses.
Greg J. Campbell, Ladue, Missouri, pled guilty to two felony counts of wire fraud before United States District Judge Audrey G. Fleissig. Sentencing has been set for September 10, 2013.
Each count of wire fraud carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and/or fines up to $250,000. In determining the actual sentences, a judge is required to consider the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, which provide recommended sentencing ranges.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Reginald Harris is handling the case for the U.S. Attorney's Office.

November 25, 2011
When the leaders of the Soviet Union wanted to increase their power, they explained to the masses all of the things that they were entitled to. That was made clear in the Soviet constitution. To pay for all of these things, the rate of taxation was increased, not only to 100% of income, but 100% of possessions.
The very wealthy were eliminated. The people who had created jobs were eliminated. Everything was under the control of the government. Within a few years, Russia became one of the poorest nations of the world. The politicians, to help maintain their power, promised entitlements to everybody. Nobody had any personal responsibility; everyone turned to government for all of their needs. Government gave to the people as government saw fit. Government determined where people should live and provided only government approved food. Government limited the amount of health care people could have.
Even before our current socialist regime in America , our gutless politicians never met special interest group it was not willing to fund with taxpayers' money. Even now, with the economic collapse of a few European countries to learn from, our politicians continue to squander our money, seize our wealth and income to gain for their friends lucrative loans and grants; at the same time guaranteeing for themselves re-election and lucrative pensions.
Our country will survive if we can stop the entitlement mentality. We need to explain to people they are not entitled to the benefit of someone else's labor. We should restore the system whereby individuals can keep what they have earned and if they don't work, they shouldn't eat.
Yours truly,
Floyd Coates

I've developed a keen interest in the way our country regards human life as we approach the end of it. This is one of the reasons I'm so interested in holding discussion groups, Death Cafes, for persons of all ages. We, as a whole, seem to shy away from real conversations about death – with family members and within ourselves. And yet we all know we can't be here forever (heavens, what a thought….all of us never leaving….!).
Our rapidly-evolving medical research and methods have enabled a lifespan that was inconceivable just a few decades ago. But just because we're learning how to increase the quantity of years doesn't mean we've learned how to improve the quality of those years.
When we allow ourselves to consider how we'd like to conduct our final years, months, days, we are giving ourselves permission to create the scenario we'd like to experience. We can plan ahead for so many details, from drafting distribution of assets and Advance Directives to deciding whether we'd like laughter and celebrating or religious passages and protocol to follow our passing.
These are thoughts I'd like to explore with you all as I look ahead at putting together this newsletter for the Cleveland Memorial Society. I find myself reading all kinds of literature about all things related to the end of life: home hospice, palliative care, medical interventions to prolong life, dying with dignity (laws and ethics), funerals, coffins, urns, and some strange and unique ideas about "going out with a bang"!
I welcome your input, any articles you all may come across you'd like for me to share on your behalf, notices about lectures or discussion groups, books or webinars, personal experiences or rumination you have had on end of life issues. I'll get you started with this rather unique way to memorialize yourself when the inevitable happens (i.e., you die)….see the article about coffins!

"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." Luke 21:25-27
"Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. . . . Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places." Matthew 24:6-7.
"Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God? The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered. How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field. The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness." Joel 1:15-20

The predawn sky may be full of meteors as the Earth passes through a debris stream from Halley's Comet. This happens every October, NASA says.
"We expect to see about 20 meteors per hour when the shower peaks on Tuesday morning, Oct 21st," Bill Cooke, the head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office, said in a NASA press release. "With no moon to spoil the show, observing conditions should be ideal."

Sunsets are always pretty. One sunset this month could be out of this world. On Thursday, Oct. 23rd, the setting sun across eastern parts of the USA will be red, beautiful and … crescent-shaped.
"It's a partial solar eclipse," explains longtime NASA eclipse expert Fred Espenak. In other words, the New Moon is going to 'take a bite' out of the sun.

Penelec to Conduct Storm Restoration Drill to Help Employees Prepare for Severe Weather Events
Penelec to Conduct Storm Restoration Drill to Help Employees Prepare for Severe Weather Events
PR Newswire
READING, Pa., April 6, 2018
READING, Pa., April 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania Electric Company (Penelec), a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE), will conduct an emergency readiness drill on April 10 to review the company's storm restoration process.
About 150 company employees from the Operations, Engineering, Communications, External Affairs, Customer Support, Facilities, Distribution and Transmission Control and Planning & Analysis groups will participate in the drill that will be held at Penelec's Distribution Control Center in Erie, Pa.
"FirstEnergy's storm restoration process has been recognized by electric industry organizations for its effectiveness numerous times over the years, which is proof that these training exercises work," said Scott Wyman, regional president of Penelec. "The employee training, along with infrastructure investments and tree trimming, combine to help enhance service reliability for our customers."
A team of FirstEnergy and Penelec employees has been preparing for weeks for the drill, which will roughly follow the same time schedule and number of customer outages as an actual storm that occurred in the past. Storm drills are becoming more common in the utility industry in the wake of severe weather over the last several years.
Penelec serves approximately 600,000 customers in 31 Pennsylvania counties. Follow Penelec on Twitter @Penelec and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/PenelecElectric.
FirstEnergy is dedicated to safety, reliability and operational excellence. Its 10 electric distribution companies form one of the nation's largest investor-owned electric systems, serving customers in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland and New York. The company's transmission subsidiaries operate more than 24,000 miles of transmission lines that connect the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Enter your zip code to search used Fortwo listings in your area.N/A
Find a 2013 Fortwo near you:
Note: This review was created when the 2013 Smart Fortwo was new.
While the 2013 Smart Fortwo has some of the highest fuel economy ratings in the class and is very easy to park, most critics dislike the Fortwo's performance. It comes with an underpowered, 70-horsepower, three-cylinder engine that reviewers say only delivers enough power for city driving. All models have a five-speed automated manual transmission, and critics dislike it. One auto reviewer even says it's one of the worst transmissions on the market. Even when test drivers stick to city streets, most are disappointed with the Fortwo's ride quality. It exhibits lots of body roll when cornering, and its suspension picks up too many road imperfections. According to the EPA, the Fortwo gets 34/38 mpg city/highway, which is good for the class, but low for such a small car.
The two-seat Smart Fortwo is one of the smallest cars on the market, but according to reviewers, it has a surprising amount of cabin space. They say that tall adults will have plenty of head- and legroom. Visibility is also good, but only in the coupe model. One test driver reports that when the convertible top is folded down, it hampers rear visibility. The Fortwo doesn't have much cargo space, but reviewers say the available room is useful. Test drivers point out that the Fortwo's cabin is made with a lot of hard plastics, but that's common for a lot of small cars. The Fortwo, however, lacks standard features that are expected in this class. Air conditioning and a radio, for example, are optional. These amenities, as well as a surround sound system and navigation, can be added. Overall, reviewers think the Fortwo's interior features are straightforward and easy to use.
The Scion iQ is more expensive than the Smart Fortwo, but it has a lot more standard features including an upscale stereo, Bluetooth and 11 airbags, which is more than what the Fortwo offers. Though the iQ has four seats, reviewers don't recommend sitting anyone in the back seats. However, that means the iQ's folding rear seats expand the cargo area, offering more overall cargo room than the Fortwo.
The Mazda2 is more powerful than the Smart Fortwo, and test drivers like the Mazda2's sharp handling. Though the Mazda2 is more expensive than the Fortwo, it offers seats for five, more cargo space and more standard features.
Compare the Fortwo, iQ and Mazda2 »
The 2013 Smart Fortwo seats two people. It's available in coupe and cabriolet (convertible) models. The coupe comes in passion and pure trims, while the cabriolet is only available in the passion trim. There's also an all-electric version called the Fortwo Electric Drive, but it's reviewed separately. The base Fortwo doesn't come with a stereo or air conditioning, but these features are optional. A navigation system and a surround sound system are also available. The Fortwo hasn't changed much since the 2008 model year, so this overview uses research and reviews from 2008 to 2013.

Worried You'll Have Nothing To Leave Your Loved Ones?
We've all be affected by recent changes in the economy one way or the other, but a new survey has shown how the downturn has made it difficult for some people to make financial provisions for after they've gone.
Engage Mutual, which provides products such as over 50 life cover, conducted the poll and spoke to 3,000 people across Britain. Principally, researchers wanted to know about the nation's plans to leave a will behind when they die.
Major Concerns of Leaving a Will Include:
- That one-third of people who have already made a will are worried that when the time comes, they will have spent everything they had planned to pass on.
- Some 20 per cent of respondents admitted that they had re-jigged the contents of their will after a change of heart over who should receive inheritance.
Reasons Why You Need a Will
Discussing the study, Karl Elliott, a spokesman for Engage Mutual, said: "Wills are an important part of life planning and are there to ensure that your wishes are carried out when you die. It can be a complex process, and sometimes life's twists and turns can make it more so, but a will can be changed to account for changes of mind."
Other Ways to Pretect Your Loved Ones
Some people may also decide to look at taking out an over 50s life insurance plan to give their loved ones a little "financial help" when they're gone. Different providers offer different policies, but in most cases you will need to fall into a certain age bracket, usually between 50 and 80. You'll also need to be a resident of the UK. Once the cover is set up, the benefits are payable upon your death, provided that you've stuck to the terms and conditions and have maintained your monthly premiums.
When you take out this type of cover, there are a few important points to remember:
- An over 50s life insurance plan is not a savings plan and carries no cash-in value.
- The policy only pays out when you die and any benefits.
- While free from income and capital gains tax, may be subject to inheritance tax – unless the policy has been written in trust.
Appling Onine is Easy
When it comes to applying, you can sort out the cover online, over the phone or by post. Providers will offer you the opportunity to get a quote that outlines how much cover you could arrange based on a specific monthly premium. It should also be remembered that you could pay more in premiums than the plan pays out in death, but this will depend on how long the premiums have been paid.
Will Resources
When looking to complete a will, the following resources are available and will worth taking a look at: (excuse the pun!!)

(Interestingly, my downstairs neighbor is from Yemen, and is currently blasting traditional Jewish-Yemin music – which sounds like Arab music to me.)
The government of Yemen has fled the country, as regional Shia Islamic militias have overthrown the Sunni Islamic government. Somehow Al Qaeda is in this mix, as is ISIS, the United States, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
- ISIS is blowing things up.
- Al Qaeda is attacking people.
- Shia Islamists are uprising and overthrowing the government.
- Saudi Arabia is bombing the Shia Islamists.
- Iran is supplying the Shia Islamists.
- The government is running for their lives.
- The United States is doing an emergency evacuation of covert military bases, the embassy, and a navy refueling military location.
The White House as stated that "everything is wonderful, this is exactly what we were hoping for". Actual quote: "A White House spokesman said American efforts in Yemen are a "template that has succeeded," even as President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi was forced to flee the country by boat. The spokesman told reporters that U.S. officials were not aware of Hadi's destination but insisted that American officials still had a level of control over the chaotic situation. "We have the ability to continue to apply pressure on the extremists," Earnest told reporters. "They are still in the crosshairs of U.S. security forces."
What's going on there? Here's a bit of feedback given to me by a Shia contact…
QUESTION - Why are the Saudi's against the Yemini's fighting their government? And why are the Iranians for it? Is this a local civil war, or international?
This is not a civil/local war. This is an ideological international war. Wahhabism (Saudi Arabia's from of Islam) is extremism where Sunnism (Iraq & Yemen's form) and Shiaism (Iran's form) isn't.
QUESTION - Is Al Qaeda Sunni or Wahhabi? How is Iranian Shiaism not extremism with Iran's world terror and support of (Sunni) Hamas? How does it make sense that Iran, while bombing ISIS in Iraq, condemns Saudi bombing of Shia Islamists in Yemen as dangerous?
ISIS are barbaric foreign terrorists whereas the Houthis (Shia's in Yemen) have been there for centuries and are uprising.
Saudis are Wahhabis and ideologically the fathers of ISIS therefore would never bomb them. (Since the Houthis in Yemen are Shia Islamics, it's ideologically ok to bomb them to keep them from gaining control of Yemen.)
On the other hand ISIS is after Shia genocide hence Iran cannot stand by and watch considering they are the Shia world leaders.
As far as Iran supporting the Houthis, supporting the oppressed can never be terrorism.
Those fighting on their homeland against a foreign occupying army are freedom fighters not terrorists; there's your difference.
QUESTION - What was Al Qaeda doing in Yemen? Wasn't the government already Sunni and Islamic?
Al Qaeda is also Wahhabi - Sunni extremism. ISIS along with these other terrorist groups (Al Qaeda) want to create a so called "Islamic" government, which is very different to what it is. (This doesn't mean the [now on the run] government of Yemen did not support Islam as the official state religion and give ability of Islamic institutions to pressure the people on religion, they did.)Ee

Hanley Ramirez underwent surgery today on his ailing left shoulder.
Orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews performed what the team called "an open repair" of the shoulder. The Marlins said in a statement that they "anticipate" Ramirez being ready for opening day 2012.
But there's no guarantee that he will.
It appears that the surgery should correct once and for all the discomfort and pop-outs thatHanley has endured over the years. But a team source two weeks ago said an open surgery can require a longer recovery time — four to eight months.
That window means Ramirez's recovery could end as early as February or as late as May. The good news is that the 2011 season isn't over, so Ramirez has the entire off-season to rest.
Ramirez had arthroscopic surgery on the same shoulder in October 2007 and he was ready for spring training. He went on to bat .301 with a career-high 33 home runs that year.

Yesterday, my husband and I took off on our bikes and rode the beautiful countryside of Central Minnesota. Our destination… a small town in Central Minnesota called Sauk Centre. Sauk Centre's claim to fame is that it was the birthplace and home of famed author Sinclair Lewis.
However, there is something much more important about this small town than being the birthplace of a famous author. Tucked away slightly off Highway 71, there is some sprawling acreage with several old buildings that once housed a Girl's School in the early 1900's and later a boy's correctional facility. As we parked our bikes, we see a bonfire burning in the middle of the grounds, and as I walked the lawns, I noted signs signifying the mission of this place, a mission committed to making a difference in the lives of Vets… Promises Made. Promises Kept.
The Eagle's Healing Nest
The Eagle's Healing Nest was born out of the commitment of a mom to her child. Melony Butler's child came home from combat in the Middle East with injuries that could not be seen with the naked eye… the "invisible wounds of war"… those types of wounds that can result in self-medication (drug and alcohol addiction), homelessness, and… suicide.
The Veteran's Administration's, as with any Federal Government program, was mired in red tape and a cookie cutter approach as the result of rules and regulations. A program that was just unable to be tailored to fit the individual needs of men and women returning from war.
As I am writing this post, I just heard a statistic on CBS' Sunday Morning show… "one of six Veterans has chemical dependency issues". That is a staggering statistic… one of six of our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers are struggling with addiction. Addiction… an approach to deal with pain that we know does not work. Self medication does not cure the invisible injuries of war… it only causes further damage.
It was important for me to visit the "Nest" this weekend… this weekend of Memorial Day. Memorial Day, a day to remember those who have died defending our great country… our country which stands for Freedom… Independence…, and Pride.
I have always had a great sense of patriotism because my Dad was a proud Veteran of WWII, a man who came home home from Europe a proud and patriotic Captain in the Army Corp of Engineers… a man who ultimately ended up weakened and broken as his alcoholism slowly chipped away his self-worth. However, he never stopped being a proud Veteran of Foreign Wars… a patriotic and proud American.
For those who have not served on foreign lands, we cannot understand the impact of war on the psyche. We have not experienced what the men and women who serve have seen or had to do when they have been called into action. Only Vets can understand what Vets are going through… and that is the beauty of the Eagle's Healing Nest.
Melony and her staff give the tools and resources to help those Vets who have tumbled into the depths of depression, PTSD, chemical dependency, and homelessness, but it is the Vets who are calling the "Nest" home who are the ones helping each other… Vets helping Vets heal…
I am humbled that I was able to visit and tour this place of honor. I am grateful that I was told about this beautiful place of HOPE… this wonderful place of healing. I walked away committed to creating awareness for this organization that helps save lives for those who have fought for my freedom… and yours.
On this Memorial Day, I would ask that you embrace your patriotism by placing your hand over your heart and bow your head in honor for all those who have served and given their lives for our country. To shake the hands of those in uniform and thank them for their sacrifices. I ask you to check out eagleshealingnest.com and learn more about this great non-profit organization…
If you would like to help refurbish some of the older buildings so that more Vets can find healing, I will be starting a campaign to raise some funds to help provide materials to update countertops and floors in some of the buildings. You can send me a message through this blog page and I will let you know how and where to donate.
As I close this blog post, I would like to share my morning meditation reading from Marianne Williamson's A Year of Miracles: Daily Devotions and Reflections: "Breakdowns often precede the greatest breakthroughs. And when the pain is greatest is often when we're on the brink of the greatest realization…". Our Vets at Eagle's Healing Nest are at their greatest pain when they walk onto the grounds, and it is through their work at the Nest where they find their greatest realizations and can come back into the land of the living…
My post today is written in honor of all who have given the greatest sacrifice… their lives.
In honor of their families who have given the greatest sacrifice… their loved one's lives.
To my friend, Jill Stephensen aka "Ben Kopp's mom"… for keeping Ben's light burning brightly,
giving Hope, Faith and Love to others…
