EPA has $40 Million Cleanup Plan for River Site
NewsRadio 920 WHJJ and the Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A federal plan to clean up a Superfund site along the Blackstone River in Cumberland and Lincoln would cost more than $40 million.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency project manager David Newton tells The Providence Journal the plan addresses contaminants that continue to leak into the river from the 980-acre site, which used to be home to the Peterson/Puritan aerosol products plant.
A rail accident in 1974 resulted in a large chemical spill at the site, which was also contaminated by municipal waste dumped at the adjoining J.M. Mills Landfill.
The plan, which was released Thursday, calls for capping the former landfill, razing a truck garage and other structures, excavating contaminated soil and other measures.
The EPA says businesses responsible for the contamination would pay for the clean up.

Present: Paul Bingham, Michael Chiarello, Jackie Collier, Debra Dwyer, Kane Gillespie, Bill Godfrey, Norm Goodman, Stalin Mafla-Trujillo, Pamela Wolfskill
Chair's report
Norm Goodman had previously sent to all members a request from Fred Walter, president of the University Senate, to review a proposed arrangement for an Army ROTC program on the campus. After considerable discussion, it was agreed to request more specific information about what is actually under consideration. The AROTC document mentions a "partnership," but exactly what that means in terms of any commitment of university resources and the development of an academic program is unclear. Also, the request from Fred Walter suggested the possibility that at some point what would be required was the establishment of a Department of Military Science within the College of Arts and Sciences. If that is the case, then the proposers would have to follow the procedures outlined in the Guidelines for the creation, modification, or elimination of departments, programs, institutes, schools and colleges, which includes the development of a detailed proposal regarding the academic program, curriculum issues, and resource needs including library resources. Until CAPRA receives clarification of what it is involved, it cannot do an adequate review. Consequently, Norm will request this clarification from Fred Walter.
Subcommittee reports
Satellite campuses subcommittee: It was agreed to include the developments of the SUNY-Korea initiative, which is primarily a Stony Brook University program, in this subcommittee's responsibilities. This is a graduate program that involves several departments in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the College of Business. At present, this initiative is moving ahead rapidly, with the expectation that it will be functioning by March 2012, following the academic calendar of South Korean Universities. At present, the program is geared at the Master's level and enrolls a small number of students though it is expected to expand to about 200 students at some time in the near future. There is also a research connection with CEWIT.
Shared services center subcommittee: As a consequence of his experience with a program like the SSC at the University of Michigan, Provost Assanis is very enthusiastic it. However, the SSC initiative at Stony Brook has met with considerable opposition from a number of academic departments as well as the Arts and Sciences Senate. Dean Squires has been moving on this initiative with deliberation, increasing the consultative process with departmental administrators and staff of those units likely to be affected in the program's further development.
Strategic plan, responsibility management center model, faculty resources: There is as yet no overall campus strategic plan, which makes it difficult to construct an appropriate campus budget. Provost Assanis has the task of melding the strategic plans of the various schools and colleges into an overall campus plan, which he is expected to do by the end of this academic year. Considerable questions were raised about the RCM model and its implementation, among these were: Will it lead to a "race to the bottom"? What is the algorithm for the distribution of resources and how was it chosen? Paul Bingham distributed a paper on "Models of Centralized and Decentralized Budgeting within Universities" by John Douglas Wilson of the Department of Economics at Michigan State University for background reading by members of CAPRA.
Other business
There is a serious problem looming over the effects of the impending rehabilitation of room 100 in the Javits Lecture Center. The effect of this rehab on classroom availability for large courses will be considerable, though as yet there does not seem to be any satisfactory method of dealing with this problem. Paul Bingham will continue to follow this problem for CAPRA and seek further information as to what is being contemplated to deal with it.

The caliber of AMBEX students is exceptional. They exhibit high standards in personal character, scholastics, leadership, and performance talents, including music and athletics.
AMBEX and its students expect and presuppose students are seeking to grow as disciples of Christ through:
- Personal/daily devotions 'quiet time'
- Active involvement & attendance in bible study/chapel/church
- Seeking opportunities to serve & places others before self
- Anticipating and solving problems in accordance with Scripture
- Encouraging others to excel in their spiritual walk, by word and deed
- Students seek academic integrity, rigor, breadth & depth of study in class and in their assignments.
- Students want to socialize with host nationals—endeavoring to make life-long friends.
- They are more than tourists. Students desire to travel locally and regionally but not at the expense of the above.
- Students want to be treated like adults accepting responsibility for their health, welfare, safety and that of their neighbors.
- Students are future leaders of society and the church; seeking leadership training opportunities.
- Students will accept and offer constructive critique in a Christian spirit when invited to do so.
- Students exemplify a spirit of contentment and not one of mumbling and complaining.

I have a 2002 WRX with 62k on the clock. I had the 60k service performed 3 weeks ago. I've noticed in the last week that the turbo boost is "spiking" when at full throttle. Regardless of gear, sometimes, when I go full throttle, the boost gauge goes to ~.11 MPa, then down to ~.09 MPa. Then back up to .11MPa and back down to .09 MPa. This contiues until I lift off the throttle. If I slowly apply pressure to the throttle until full throttle is reached, this does not occur, but sometimes it does, irregardless of the type of throttle application.
I'd like to diagnose this ASAP, so if anyone knows what I am experiencing I would really appreciate a response. Thanks.

Each week in The Moviegoer, Nick Olson examines new and upcoming films.Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke) both has trouble seeing and is increasingly troubled by what he does see. In Scott Derrickson's latest horror film, Sinister, we continually see shots of Ellison fumbling, readjusting, and donning his black-rimmed glasses. More often, we get close-up shots of Ellison looking intently through those glasses as the reflection of sinister images rolls across the lenses, and we see him growing … [Read more...]

The problems of almost sure (a.s.) stability and a.s. stabilization are investigated for hybrid stochastic systems (HSSs) with time-varying delays. The different time-varying delays in the drift part and in the diffusion part are considered. Based on nonnegative semimartingale convergence theorem, Hölder's inequality, Doob's martingale inequality, and Chebyshev's inequality, some sufficient conditions are proposed to guarantee that the underlying nonlinear hybrid stochastic delay systems (HSDSs) are almost surely (a.s.) stable. With these conditions, a.s. stabilization problem for a class of nonlinear HSDSs is addressed through designing linear state feedback controllers, which are obtained in terms of the solutions to a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Two numerical simulation examples are given to show the usefulness of the results derived.

Both Israel and Hamas claim victory in the latest clash over the Gaza Strip. And Egypt, which brokered a ceasefire, is basking in its resurgent role as a regional power.
But the biggest question is about Iran: Did Tehran win, or lose, in the Gaza War?
Debate is raging over whether the recent eight-day conflict fought out between Israel and Palestinian terrorist groups has damaged or benefitted the Iranian regime.
[related_links /]
What is clear is that as the Arab Spring transforms the Middle East, Iran is ready to change too, cementing relations with terrorist factions that may well become the biggest threat to Israeli security.
The hand of Iran in the latest conflict was clearly seen in the use of long-range Fajr-5 missiles, presenting a new threat to major Israeli population centres.
We are honoured to announce that we gave them [Palestinian terrorists] the technology of how to make…

Colin Coates is basking in crazy victory
Crusaders defender Colin Coates has admitted he never considered that he might have to take a second penalty in Tuesday night's shoot-out win over Linfield.
The Crues drew 1-1 with the Blues at Windsor Park in the League Cup quarter-final tie before Stephen Baxter's men won a dramatic penalty shoot-out 10-9.
Coates got the ball rolling by scoring Crusaders' first penalty, before winning the match with his second strike in the spot kick competition.
Coates said: "It was a bit strange, really. When you score a goal in a penalty shoot-out you think to yourself, 'Well, I've done my job, I can relax now'.
"But obviously this was different. I realised as the shoot-out went on and the goals kept going in that might I might have to take another.
"When I saw the goalkeepers stepping up I realised I was going to have focus again.
"I can't say I was too nervous though, as I've scored plenty of penalties before and I've been involved in a number of shoot-outs in the past, so I always confident I would score.
"The fact my penalty was to win the tie also made life easier. It meant if I missed we'd still have a chance of winning, so knowing that helped me to relax.
"It was a crazy situation but it was a really exciting way to win a game of football. I'm sure none of us will experience anything like that situation ever again."
This week's League Cup win means Crusaders have not lost to Linfield in three encounters this season. Coates believes those results will give the Crues a lift going into going into next month's County Antrim Shield final against the Blues, but he doesn't believe it will be decisive.
"We've now know that we can compete with Linfield both at Seaview and at Windsor Park. We've gone to Windsor now and drawn on two occasions this season, so that has given us a confidence boost," he said.
"That said, you have to take each game on its own individual merit. Tuesday's win won't affect the County Antrim Shield final and it certainly won't make any difference in the league. You just have to focus on each individual game as it comes along. The only advantage is we now know we're capable of beating Linfield."
It's changed days for Coates and Crusaders. In years gone by the Hatchetmen were often mocked due to their poor performances against Linfield, but now they know they're capable of competing against David Jeffrey's men.
"I've been at Crusaders long enough to remember the occasion when we were 3-0 down inside the first half an hour. It was embarrassing and I'm glad we've put those days behind us," he said.
"But it's not hard to figure out what the difference is. Guys like Declan Caddell and Jordan Owens have matured, while guys like Paul Heatley and Josh Robinson have came in and improved our squad.
"We're now a much more experienced outfit with more quality at our disposal. We've learnt a few harsh lessons, but we're starting to feel the benefit."
On Saturday, the Crues will face Ballinamallard United at Seaview. Defender Coates is confident that playing 120 minutes on Tuesday night will not harm their chances.
"There is a bit of euphoria in the camp at the moment, but I'm sure we will be able to bring ourselves back down and focus on the Ballinamallard game," he said.
"I don't think we will be worn out after the Linfield game because our fitness is good, plus the manager also has plenty of options. He can bring in guys like Eamon McAllister, Paul Leeman or Gary McCutcheon if needs to freshen things up a bit at any stage.
"We've got plenty of depth in our squad now, but Saturday will be tough as Whitey Anderson's teams are always well motivated."

Brum for the win!
Looks like it's a two horse race so far between Brum and Alers.
Out of curiosity when does voting close?
I think (in a biased way) Brum deserves it, he has a 4th CW fight against another tough guy on NYE and if he wins that he will of beaten 4 guy`s on CW this year.
Has to be James Brum he had 3 awesome wins over very hard fighters and what a showman always makes the weigh in exciting and is a really all round nice guy when your not in the cage with him
Team Alers
JAMES BRUM all the way
Alers has 2 FINISHES: TKO and submission over 2 tough opponents Lahdesmaki and Cesar. Brum, while a very nice fellow, has only decision wins against good opponents but not the same caliber fighters as Lahdesmaki and Cesar.
Not bashing Brum, but clearly the better year has been had by Alers

Clicked, sealed, deliveredPosted on Written by Reagan Haynes
YachtCloser offers an automated and simpler way to close and execute boat deals online
Automating everything involved in a yacht brokerage transaction seems like an obvious concept, but until recently no one in the business had done it.
The idea occurred a few years ago to YachtCloser LLC president Brad Parker. He was heading into a movie theater with his wife and three children when he got a call from a prospective buyer who wanted to get on a plane the next day to do a sea trial on a yacht he was brokering. Parker panicked. He was nowhere near home, did not have the documentation he needed to get the deal moving and had no scanner or fax machine available even if he had the necessary paperwork.
Needless to say, the night out with the family was a bust. In order to make that deal happen right there I would have to send a contract to the buyer to sign and put in an initial offer, send that to the seller for the seller to print out, sign and fax back to me, Parker says.
Such transactions can be further slowed when there are multiple sellers and buyers, which Parker says is common, and its also typical that all of them are in separate locations, he says. He scrambled to get everything in motion so the buyer could get his plane ticket the following day, then told himself, There has got to be a better way.
After months of development and testing, Parker introduced YachtCloser in January. The website (www.yacht closer.com) enables brokers to close and execute deals completely online. For a process thats often comparable to buying a house, thats saying a lot. YachtCloser is designed by someone who lives and breathes and understands every step of the process, Parker says. Its amazing that nothing like this existed sooner.
Traditionally in yacht brokerage, if a seller accepts an offer, a contract is drawn up and, if there are conditions to the sale, an additional contract is drawn up, Parker explains. Then there is state registration, title work, documentation all of which is done manually. All of those documents must be faxed back and forth and can be barely legible by the time everything is done. I used to just think, We sell million-dollar yachts, and I cant believe Im sending a contract that looks like this. I cant even read this, Parker says.
Parker fully automated the process, often accomplishing in a few minutes what in the past would have taken several days. His system relies heavily on the federal Electronic Signatures Act, which took effect in 2000 and gives electronic contracts the same weight as those executed on paper. We have taken every single one of those contracts and automated them, he says. All you have to do is put the information in once and [the software] will automatically fill out every piece of registration.
The information is stored in one place with reminders of important dates and expiration deadlines for each contract. Sales managers can access each brokers sales and determine where each deal stands. A broker also can check a few boxes to have e-mails sent to buyers recommending insurance providers or transportation companies. The attached insurance form will already be 85 percent filled out, making it easier for the buyer to put in a few pieces of information and send it off with a click.
The amount of functionality and integration we have with these companies, its going to be completely new for this industry, Parker says. With everyone else, theyre just a link on someone elses website, but this gives actual connectivity to the deal itself. Think about it: If an insurance company has an opportunity to get in front of the buyer of a yacht, the purchase and sale agreement is a perfect time. It gives these resources a unique and targeted opportunity to be at the right place at the right time.
Parker hasnt implemented a subscription service for those companies but plans to do so soon. For now, he is charging brokerage companies $199 a month for each location, regardless of the number of users. So far, its working. Everyone he has pitched the service to has subscribed, so Parker has spent no money on advertising.
We currently have about $197 million in contracted boats that have been executed through our system, and based on some of the brokerages that have signed up we see that number doubling or tripling in the next two weeks, Parker said in early February.
For Jenny Wicker, a broker at Denison Yacht Sales in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., the system has been extremely valuable. This is the third brokerage firm Ive been with and the first that doesnt have someone specifically handling closing, Wicker says. This is my secretary for my closers. I dont have to have anyone keeping up with my paperwork. Its made [closings] much less of a nightmare.
When she was handling everything on her own it was easy to overlook certain steps in the process or miss dates, she says. The first deal she did with YachtCloser was after a sea trial while she and the prospective buyer were in the car. He was driving and telling Wicker what he liked about the yacht and what his conditions would be. I sat and pulled up YachtCloser on the phone and changed the conditions [of his offer], Wicker says. When the buyer asked when he would have a copy of the changed terms, Wicker was able to tell him, Its already in your e-mail.
Wicker initially checked with a lawyer to make sure everything about YachtClosers contracts was legally sound before she used the software because she was new to e-signature. The lawyer told her it was the best way to do business today.
On a per-sale basis, YachtCloser saves Wicker about 10 hours, or at least a full days worth of work, she says. I cant believe nobodys done this, she adds. It amazes me that nobodys come up with this, and I dont know if theres anything like this in the real estate industry, but if not [Parker] should go for it.
Asked whether he would consider expanding to other industries, Parker answers quickly: Yes.

how to vent to outside
I have a 30" cabinet under which a OTR microwave is going to go.The microwave vents up into the cabinet and I need to join the exhaust vent to the existing vent pipe in the ceiling. The exhaust vent to the roof is in the soffit towards the right of the cabinet. Its a square shape vent which is about 5x5 inches. The vent hole to the roof actually overlaps the edge of two adjacent wall cabinets.
I am having a very hard time bending a vent pipe to fit it around the vent hole. I have uploaded some pics of my situation. I have tried all the suggestions given by home depot but nothing has worked
Please take look and give me some urgent advice.
Is there access to the top of the soffit?
I would move the duct work to the center of the cabinet top---
There is access to soffit through attic but the duct is solid alluminium and goes straight up to the roof. If I have to move it without changing the roof opening location I will need to bend it which I feel will be even more complicated.
Any other options ?
are you having a hard time getting the pipe in place ?
getting the round pipe to fit the square pipe ?

How about constructing your own duct out of some 3/4" mdf?
With difficulty I am able to connect a 6" duct pipe to the microwave adapter....but my biggest challenge is how to connect it to the vent in the soffit.
The vent is square, its broken on some sides and its not centered above the hole and with such a small space I am not able to bend the pipe to go over it. Even if I did I wouldn't know how to connect them. I have tried all the 45 degree 90 degree adapters, flexible and semi-flexible pipes etc but I am not able to make the connection happen.
please help.
How do you make your own duct with mdf ? Is that an approved material to use for venting ?
This may be a dumb question, but it that an outside wall?
just in case it is...
Our micro is on an outside wall so
we vented it straight out the wall behind the micro.
I would go to a real HVAC/Plumbing supply to see if they have a 5X5 sheet metal adaptor that would fit. If you can't locate the correct product, take detailed measurements and go to a sheet metal shop and have them fabricate what you need.
BTW, MDF is not the correct material to construct a vent for this application.
The garage is on the other side of the wall. The vent goes straight up and into the attic and then vents out at the roof.
I will try to find a HVAC/Plumbing supply store but I was hoping to do DIY this.
Well, you'll be DIYing it...just with the right parts !

2010 Academy of Achievement Summit
Additional presentations on Friday were made by: Donald Graham, Chairman of the Washington Post Company, which also publishes Newsweek and Slate; former Mayor of Indianapolis, Steven Goldsmith, now a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School; Michelle Rhee, Chancellor of the D.C. schools, who began her career as a young leader of the Teach for America program; and Karen Ignagni, President and CEO of AHIP -- America's Health Insurance Plans.
For Friday's luncheon the assembly moved to historic Blair House. Known as the President's Guest House, this mansion, originally built in 1824, has welcomed foreign heads of state since its acquisition by the federal government during World War II. Its splendid interior is rarely seen by the general public, but the Summit Fellows were treated to a rare tour of its spacious rooms and tranquil courtyard. At Blair House, the Fellows received a summary of defense issues from the President's National Security Advisor, General James L. Jones.
The national security theme was developed further as the company was taken on a bus trip to Langley, Virginia, and the offices of the Central Intelligence Agency, where the Fellows received a tour and briefing, followed by a visit with one of America's most respected public servants, CIA Director Leon Panetta. A former U.S. Congressman, Director of the Office of Management and Budget and Chief of Staff to President Clinton, Panetta helped dispel some of the aura of mystery surrounding the nation's intelligence services.
At the end of the long day, the Summit participants returned to the Willard Hotel for a reception in the Crystal Room and a final dinner in the elegant Willard Room. Over dinner, David Gergen introduced a series of speakers drawn from the ranks of the Reynolds Fellows, and from the other programs that enjoy the support of the Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation.
The administrative home of the NYU Reynolds Program is the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. The current class of 36 Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation Fellows at New York University were represented at the Summit by Magogodi Makhene. Ms. Makhene grew up in Soweto, South Africa during the last years of apartheid. As a Reynolds Graduate Fellow at New York University's Gallatin School, she is studying the use of private equity and venture capital as vehicles for economic development in sub-Saharan Africa. The final speaker of the Summit, Cesar Francia, grew up in Caracas, Venezuela. He studied International Politics as a Reynolds Fellow at New York University and he will soon be returning to NYU to earn a Master's in Public Administration. He is currently serving as a full-time aide in the office of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

BBC: Thai Army Preparing For Resistance To Coup
Thailand's army chief announced a military takeover of the government, saying the coup was necessary to restore stability and order after six months of political deadlock and turmoil.
The BBC's Jonathan Head told Here & Now's Robin Young that the move was, "surprising and very hard to understand" because the head of the Thai Army, General Prayuth has said many times that he did not think that a coup would solve Thailand's problems.
Head was present at the Thai Army Club, waiting for the country's political rivals to wrap up talks in the afternoon: "Suddenly, troops in trucks raced across and blocked the exits to the Army Club. I was there watching it. We were a bit baffled by this. Soldiers took up positions as though they were going to have to fight. Looking very, very tense, a lot of soldiers."
Head says this coup is very different from the one he witnessed in Thailand eight years ago. "I think the Army knows there is a high likelihood of resistance and they are moving very fast to consolidate control."

Cleansing is my favorite part of my skincare routine. There is something about removing all the dirt, oil and makeup from my face that is so liberating and I feel refreshed instantly. Typically I use my hand when applying and removing cleansers, but after I was introduced to a few different tools to help make the process easier, I was hooked. Even though there are tons of devices out there to help you cleanse your skin better, the two I enjoy the most and find the least abrasive to my skin are muslin cloths and konjac sponges. Both are more mild than a cleansing brush, and can offer a slight exfoliation without irritating the skin or stripping it.
Muslin Cloth
Muslin is a soft, tightly woven light fabric usually made from cotton. It is stiffer than a typically cotton cloth and thinner than a traditional terrycloth towel, but absolutely fantastic at cleansing the face. I find that muslin cloths work really well when paired with cleansing balms, but in a pinch can be effective with just about any cleanser. I like to apply my cleansers with dry hands to a dry face, massage it around to remove my makeup, place the muslin cloth under warm water and hold it against my face for a few seconds. This really helps to warm up the cleanser on the face, emulsify it and make it easier to remove using gentle circular motions around the entire face. The water softens the cloth so it's easy to work with, but the stiff fibers really help to give a light exfoliation which always takes my normal cleanser results to the next level. Many brands offer muslin cloths with their cleansers, such as Liz Earle and Eve Lom and they also offer then separately as well, so, you don't have to keep reusing the same one forever. I find that my muslin cloths can last me a few weeks if I use them 1-3x/week, but once they begin to look too ragged then I know it's time to toss them. A set of 3 is available at Sephora and retails for $22.
Konjac Sponge
Besides the muslin cloth, I enjoy using Konjac Sponges as a way to remove my cleanser and give a light exfoliation. Konjac sponges are made from the root of the Konjac plant. It feels like a rock to the touch, but as soon as you add water it become spongey and soft. I find that because the sponge is oval in shape, it does a great job at getting to more targeted areas of the face where I have larger pores. I am able to spend a few extra seconds there massaging the sponge over my skin to help break up any congestion. Though the sponge can create a slight lather, I don't use it in place of my cleanser but rather as a complement. There are many different options to try, but I prefer the Boscia Konjac Sponge ($15) or the one from Dr. Sponge.
Both the muslin cloth and the konjac sponge are great options to add to any skincare routine to enhance the cleansing experience. They add slight exfoliating properties – the muslin cloth is my favorite to use with thicker balms, while the konjac sponge is easy for me to use with gels and milks. The muslin cloth tends to give me an overall exfoliation and helps with any texture issues I may be having, while the konjac sponge is smaller and easier to use when I want to target areas with clogged pores or congested skin. Either would be suitable for all skin types, though I would recommend doing a patch test if you have extremely sensitive skin.

We're sure you'll find Le Fresne as charming as we do. The day we first spotted the house, even with a tumbledown roof and the neighbour's cows living inside, we knew it could be turned into a beautiful family home. We spent 7 years restoring the place to its former glory, and now our own family is grown you will find Le Fresne has been maintained to a high standard and provides everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable holiday.
Why Normandy? When we first came here 17 years ago we fell in love with the area and the French way of life and we want you to love it too. We found Vezins to be ideally placed for all that Normandy has to offer, from lush rolling countryside to rivers and lakes, and still only 20 minutes from glorious beaches.

Last Patch Tuesday, Microsoft released security updates that brought some of the pass-the-hash (PtH) mitigations introduced in Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 to Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. This is great news for computer admins fighting the good fight against credential thieves.
[ Two former CIOs show you how to rethink your security strategy for today's world. Bonus: Available in PDF and e-book versions. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
Before we cover those mitigations -- and other techniques to frustrate hackers -- let's review how credential theft normally occurs:
- Bad guy gains admin access to one network computer
- Bad guy obtains the passwords (or Kerberos tickets) or password hashes to all the accounts on the local computer, including the local Administrator
- Bad guy uses local Administrator credentials to move to other computers sharing the same logon name and password, or simply uses the local user's credentials, if they belong to a privileged domain group (such as Domain Admins or Enterprise Admins)
- Bad guy obtains password hashes from domain controller
- Bad guy owns network and takes data at will
This scenario is repeated thousands of times each day and has occurred multiple times in most companies. Though many companies consider credential theft attacks their No. 1 problem, I slightly disagree; I think preventing the initial compromise and preventing the bad guy from obtaining elevated credentials needs to be the top priority. But that's two sides of the same problem.
A few years ago, there wasn't a lot of information on how to prevent PtH attacks, and Windows lacked specific mitigations. Microsoft rose to the occasion and has released three white papers (I'm an author or contributor on all three) that should be must-reads by any Windows or Active Directory administrator:
- Best Practices for Securing Active Directory
- Mitigating Pass-the-Hash (PtH) Attacks and Other Credential Theft Techniques (version 2.0)
- Mitigating Pass-the-Hash (Pth) Attacks and Other Credential Theft Techniques (version 1.0)
Both version 1.0 of the PtH white paper and "Best Practices for Securing Active Directory" came out before Microsoft had pushed out the new Windows PtH mitigations. Still, they contain useful information you won't find anywhere else, including recommendations you should definitely follow. In particular, the Active Directory white paper contain the "secrets" to maintaining a very low-risk Active Directory environment. Learn it and you'll be an AD security expert, too.
In Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 releases, Microsoft released a slew of new features specifically created to stop or minimize PtH attacks, which version 2 of the PtH whitepaper covers in good detail. Here's a recap of the new Windows PtH mitigations:
- Strengthened LSASS to prevent hash dumps
- Many processes that once stored credentials in memory no longer do so
- Better methods to restrict local accounts from going over the network
- Programs are prevented from leaving credentials in memory after a user logs out
- Allows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections without putting the user's credentials on the remotely controlled computer
- A new Protected Users group, with member's credentials that can't be used in remote PtH attacks
- Several other OS changes that make PtH attacks far more difficult to achieve
Most of these protections are now available in all of Microsoft's supported operating systems. If your company is worried about PtH attacks, you should implement these mitigations. Yes, hackers and malware writers are already working overtime to defeat these defenses, but enabling them can only help you and reduce risk.

Shaler girls volleyball team ready for section stretch
With a solid team returning to the court this season, the Shaler Lady Titans volleyball squad needs to focus on some of the little things in order to put together another successful season, according to coach Kris Ruppert.
"We lack size, but if we stick with our system, serve tough and not make unforced errors, the size will even out," Ruppert said.
The Lady Titans do have one of the more talented setters in he section in Annie Bozzo.
"Annie spent a lot of time on her setting skills," Ruppert said. "Her location is important."
With an already good player improving, the players behind Bozzo will benefit.
Lizzy Klein was named one of the Fabulous 50 as a sophomore and has done a good job as an outside hitter again this season.
Nicole Pilewski will play either outside or libero, depending on the situation, and her sister Natalie is another setter who has improved, according to Ruppert.
Senior Liz Rhodes is the lone senior starter and a middle hitter for the team. Julia Burnesser is back on the right side, and Hannah Bradford will help on the outside.
"Our defense is solid, and we will have to be good at handling the ball," Ruppert said. "We have a close core of girls who genuinely like each other. They spend time together off the court, and they are just an all-around fun group."
The fun has transferred to the court: Shaler has won three straight games by a final score of 3-0. Shaler defeated Gateway, Plum and McKeesport and will turn its attention to Woodland Hills at 7 p.m. Sept. 19 before preparing for a Sept. 24 game against Oakland Catholic.

That way, it can be done completely on the fly and worked into any situation. It's handy, since we have an alarm system that I can monitor remotely from work, so I occasionally call when something just doesn't look right, and I can confirm that she's not under duress. Done in person, it means something is very wrong and we need to be on maximum alert, passing situational information as needed and ready to respond without question to any order.

How Do You 'Read' A Rye Starter?
I am new to sourdough growing and am wondering if someone can help me out with ways in which to determine when a sourdough starter has reached it's peak and is ready to be fed again or used in a recipe....
I have a kamut starter that is easy to read. It gets a dome on top. My rye starter doesn't do that. It stays flat. So far I have been smelling it but would like to know if there are other clues on which to make my judgment as to it's readiness.

Tape review from Sunday's 38-14 loss to Seattle indicates solid play from the Chicago Bears defensive interior, who were playing without injured starter Henry Melton. Amobi Okoye, Matt Toeaina, Anthony Adams and rookie Stephen Paea were part of a rotation that helped Chicago hold Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch to 42 yards on 20 carries. Lynch, one of the NFL's most explosive runners, was held to only 2.1 yards per carry – after gaining 100 or more yards in five of his previous six contests. The Bears defensive tackles continually demonstrated quickness off the snap, lateral movement and hustle to chase down the play.
Examining the group individually, Melton has enjoyed a breakout campaign in his third season. The third-year pro out of Texas has always possessed uncanny athletic ability but the uncertainty of where he fit, either at end or tackle, didn't allow him the focus necessary to be consistent in his first two NFL seasons. At 6-3, 295, he bulked up this offseason to play the interior, yet still maintained his quickness.
Melton possesses a quick first step and uses his hands well to gain leverage against opposing linemen. He burst out of the gate this year with an impressive season-opening two-sack performance against Atlanta, and ranks second on the Bears in sacks (7) behind only Julius Peppers (10). Melton still disappears at times, especially against the run, and was on the receiving end of coach Lovie Smith's rare player criticism after the bye week for his uninspired play. Yet he's responded since then with a number of solid efforts and is currently third in the NFL for most sacks amongst defensive tackles.
DT Matt Toeaina
Jerry Lai/US Presswire
Toeaina is an experienced run stuffer and try hard guy who has evolved into a solid two-down contributor. A fourth-year pro out of Oregon, Toeaina has the frame (6-2, 308) and strength that allows him to occupy two blockers, creating opportunities for his line mates. He doesn't offer a pass rush threat – only 2.0 his entire career – but his determination and pursuit show up on tape every game.
Okoye has turned into a solid free-agent acquisition. The 23-year-old is a former first-round draft pick of the Houston Texans. He's earned plenty of playing time this season with the Bears due to his ability to push the pocket inside. Okoye came into the league as a 19-year-old, so his arrow is still pointing up. He's more of a pass-rush threat, able to beat the single blocks when the offensive line double-teams Peppers on the outside. Playing the 3-technique formally occupied by Tommie Harris, Okoye can sometimes get engulfed in the run game when guards lock onto him, but his four sacks and 24 tackles have made him a solid contributor.
Nagging injuries and a lack of consistent production has cost Anthony Adams considerable playing time this season. With Toeaina and Paea getting most of the reps, Adams has been inactive for a handful of games. When he's on the field though, the veteran defender can still make an impact. Adams routinely uses his sneaky quickness to penetrate the line of scrimmage and beat the block. At his size (6-0, 310), he's a better athlete than for which he's given credit. Adams possesses the strength and initial step to track down plays to the flanks.
Stephen Paea's rookie season appeared lost until the Sunday night contest on Oct. 16 against Minnesota. He didn't excite in training camp and was inactive throughout the season's first month. However, given the opportunity against the Vikings, Paea turned in a two-tackle, one-sack outing. He's been steady ever since, demonstrating the initial quickness, strength and high motor he flashed during a star-studded career at Oregon State. Paea is still rounding into shape after a knee injury in last year's Senior Bowl shelved him until late in the spring. The 2011 second rounder should be a key contributor for the defense going forward and figures to improve dramatically following a full offseason of team programs.
While many other parts of the team will need attention this coming offseason, defensive tackle is one of the few spots with which Bears brass can feel comfortable leaving untouched.

Waitress Who Posted Pastor's Tip-less Receipt Fired
Yesterday, we brought you the story of a St. Louis-area man claiming to be a pastor who—following an unsuccessful attempt to dodge paying a restaurant's auto-gratuity policy—chose to leave no tip whatsoever, writing in the margin of the receipt, "I give God 10%, why should you get 18?" Today comes word that the waitress who posted a picture of the receipt to Reddit was fired from Applebee's for the deed. "I originally posted the note as a lighthearted joke," Chelsea, the waitress, told The Consumerist. "I thought the note was insulting, but it was also comical. I posted it to Reddit because I thought other users would find it entertaining." The picture went viral, and along with it, the pastor's signature (although nobody seems to be able to read the signature—the identity of the pastor remains a mystery). Nevertheless, according to Chelsea, the alleged pastor got wind of it and promptly called the Applebee's, lovingly demanding that everyone in the entire place be fired. That didn't happen, but Chelsea did lose her job. "I was just trying to make a joke," she said. "But I came home today unemployed" ...
UPDATE: The Smoking Gun is reporting that the pastor, Alois Bell, has apologized for a "lapse in [his] character and judgment," saying, "My heart is really broken, I've brought embarrassment to my church and ministry." Thanks for the tip.

"Yesterday, we brought you the story of a St. Louis-area man" - You may want to edit that. This person is a woman.
As a Christian who's worked in an environment heavily reliant on tips before, this breaks my heart. Firstly that God could be (poorly, I might add) used to justify a failure to "render unto Caesar what is his", then furthermore this apparently insincere apology amidst demanding the termination of Miss Welch. It sounds to me like Pastor Bell is more sorry she got caught, than apologetic for the action itself.
As a minister, I've done some boneheaded stuff. Christians are known for being cheap....we shouldn't be. The fact that he did something wrong and stupid followed by more wrongness and stupidity THEN followed with an apology reveals some ugly character but he is human. Make it right, don't be cheap or preachy with a tip.
Seriously? She shouldn't have lost her job.
First of all, the pastor was wrong for writing that self-righteous note on the receipt. Invoking God in addition to her ignorance to the restaurant's policy and/or her stinginess makes it worse, and reflects horribly on believers in an already hostile environment.
However, I believe the waitress was rightfully fired for posting the receipt online. When she made the decision to put something like that on the internet, it created public backlash against both the consumer *and* the business. Right or wrong, putting someone's name and info on the internet is highly unprofessional.
Yet, despite all of this, I am humbled. After reading the original article, I admittedly developed a little sympathy for the pastor: her church was small, she was a mother of three, etc. Although her actions created a huge backlash, she's a real person, like the waitress.
Earlier this week, I vented ferociously at another driver who honked at me. No one Youtubed me, thank God. But what about the other drivers who witnessed it? What negative effect did my outburst have on them?
I'm humbled because while it's easy to judge people on the internet, under wildly different circumstances I, or any other believer, could have easily been the object of derision on Reddit.

Mango and lemon make a delicious pair in this Mango Marmalade.
A great "beginner's" marmalade -- for those who are just getting started or renewing their skills after a long break. Nice for holiday meals and gifts!
An all-natural recipe with no added pectin. Classic, tart and beautiful. Includes tips for preparing the fruit.
Two fancy season fruits - blood oranges and Meyer lemons, both make fabulous marmalades. Both adhere to a 2/2/1 ratio of fruit, sugar and water. Yum!
These kumquats are a hybrid with mandarine oranges. They are plump and fragrant and make a beautiful marmalade. Look for them at your local farmers market!
Marmalade captures the bittersweet tangy brilliance that is citrus & preserve it for later in the year – like summer. This is the lazy version, where you spend a little time on each step & wait days before finishing the batch.
I love using honey in my sweet spreads. Honey adds a mellowness that can't be found when using sugar alone. Be sure to use a mild flavored honey here as we still want the lemon flavor to shine through.

Traffic School in San Pablo
One way to deal with a San Pablo traffic ticket for an infraction is to attend traffic school in San Pablo. As you may know, one of the first steps to take traffic school is to contact the Contra Costa traffic court and ask the court to allow you to attend traffic school. As long as you meet the traffic school eligibility requirements in Contra Costa traffic court would allow you to keep the DMV points off your driving record. The seconds step is to pay the full amount of the bail as well as the traffic school administrative court fee ($50 to $60) to the Contra Costa traffic court. The third step is to sign up for a traffic school course.
What is the downside of taking traffic school in San Pablo?
The only downside is that the State of California requires the full traffic ticket fine for the violation and the court fee ($50 to $60) if the person decides to go to traffic school. The only way to not pay the full fine is to fight and beat the traffic ticket. In Contra Costa traffic court traffic tickets can be contested with trial by written declaration. If you have decided to contest your traffic ticket we can help you do that. The trial by written declaration does not require for you to appear in court. Just sign up online, send us a copy of your ticket and let us do all the work for you to contest your traffic ticket. Whatever your decision, we can help you fight your traffic ticket in San Pablo. Let us help you keep your DMV record clean.

Farewell Wigan Athletic, a flawed yet loveable Premier League team
Despite their frankly astonishing FA Cup triumph, the axe has finally fallen on one of the Premier League's most appreciated sides. A neutral's favourite throughout this season in particular, Wigan Athletic have become the latest victims of relegation to the Championship.
Perennial escapologists, Wigan have clung on to Premier League status by their fingernails for the last eight years. Promoted in 2005 and expected to go straight back down, they managed to frustrate expectations for longer than any could have envisaged; finally, though, their luck ran out with a 4-1 capitulation to Arsenal on May 14th. As so often, their defensive organisation proved their undoing.
Eminently watchable, occasionally scintillating in attack and often shambolic in defence, they will be missed by most. It is likely, too, that their eviction will be long-lasting. Yet with Wigan there was always hope, and it is a shame that their penultimate match proved a bridge too far for an already stretched squad.
Their squad contains talent that deserved better. Even their much-criticised defence, the Premier League's joint worst, is not utterly hopeless. Ivan Ramis, signed in the summer of 2012 from this year's La Liga strugglers Real Mallorca, looked promising before succumbing to injury. But it is clear that their real stars operate further up the field.
James McCarthy has been earning rave reviews all season for his consistently composed, impressive performances in the middle of the park. By all accounts an extremely pleasant, modest man – his national team manager Giovanni Trapattoni has jokingly threatened to punch him for being too shy – McCarthy turned down overtures from Liverpool and Arsenal in favour of regular playing time at Wigan, and looks set to depart following another excellent season.
McCarthy is a midfield general of moderate stature but exceptional authority, dictating play and distributing precisely off both feet. His 12 caps in a currently poor Ireland side will multiply many times over before his career draws to a close.
Ivorian striker Arouna Kone has long ploughed a lonely furrow up front, and his 11 goals in 36 games for a club of comparatively low standing tell their own story. Creative attacking player Shaun Maloney too has finally begun to fulfil his enormous potential, scoring arguably their most important league goal of the season with his dipping free-kick against QPR in early April.
Much has been made recently of winger Callum McManaman, who has done well to perform strongly in the face of media condemnation for an (admittedly) dreadful tackle on Newcastle's Massadio Haidara. Wigan's FA Cup success will have been particularly sweet for McManaman. His man-of-the-match performance, throughout which his pace and persistence tortured City left-back Gael Clichy, was discussed in glowing terms by the British media.
Wigan Athletic – The entertainers?
Opinion divides over the root of Wigan's relative successes. While languishing in a lowly league position, fans and pundits alike agree that Wigan's approach is entertaining and not entirely ineffective.
Manager Roberto Martinez, a true football man renowned even during his comparatively undistinguished playing career as a student of the game, is regularly in the frame for more prestigious positions and it is hoped by many that he remains in his job.
Chairman Dave Whelan, even in this era of cut-throat competition, has repeatedly and openly demonstrated real faith in his manager, something perhaps belying his popular perception as an opinionated, right-wing rent-a-gob. Certainly, his shrewd stewardship has done Wigan proud.
A solid structure remains in place if Martinez does not depart, something that bodes well for the club's future.
Martinez' tactical approach earns much praise, although his detractors point to relegation as evidence of his deficiencies. It is commented often that while Wigan are an attractive side to watch, they can be embarrassingly easy to break down.
Is this, though, something that could be expected? The side has never been of more than sporadic footballing quality. Moreover, it almost always loses key players at season's end.
Eight years without relegation, in view of these circumstances, is in my mind an underrated achievement. Much was made, after all, of Blackpool's footballing approach during the 2010/11 season, but their maiden adventure in the top flight proved to be their last.
It is true that Wigan have survived narrowly on multiple occasions, but performances such as their 3-0 defeat of David Moyes' well-drilled Everton side indicate that on their day Wigan were a cut above other relegation candidates in terms of style and end product. The Premier League, after all, is not without its teams whose philosophy consists of simply hoofing it to the big man up top.
Wigan, though, are the only side in the league to regularly play with a back three and espouse a free-flowing, attacking style that comes unstuck primarily because of the paucity of quality within the ranks.
With 47 league goals (the equal of Swansea, more than Newcastle, Sunderland, Norwich, West Ham and others) Wigan did have firepower. 73 goals conceded however was the league's joint worst tally. It is this as much as their periodic attacking flair that endears them to neutrals. Fans love goals, after all.
Some say Martinez' tactical approach is simply too open, others point to poor-quality defenders, arguing no feats of tactical alchemy could turn the likes of Gary Caldwell and Emmerson Boyce into gold-standard players. Yet regardless of the reason why, Wigan's games have not often been boring.
Natural order
But even more than this it could be argued Wigan's very existence as a top-flight football team is a surprise. Wigan are without doubt the Premier League's least fashionable club.
Opposition fans sometimes consider Wigan's poor away attendance a personal slight; a sign of disrespect. But this view fails to take into account the difficulties Wigan have had in establishing a support base.
Not only are they surrounded by nine 'bigger' clubs, one of which (yesteryear's Lancashire giants Preston North End) plays in League One, they inhabit also a part of Greater Manchester solidly wedded to the sport of rugby league.
Further complicating the issue is Wigan's dearth of home-grown talent. As a consequence of their circumstances, their young talent is in large part composed of cast-offs from these larger clubs. Some have succeeded at Wigan through poor judgement on the part of others. It is frankly astonishing, for example, that Liverpool deemed the young Leighton Baines insufficiently talented, or Everton Callum McManaman.
Even so, a club reliant on talent slipping through the net takes its own life into its hands. This fact almost makes their slickness and success perverse, particularly within the context of the comparatively unreconstructed English league.
As such, many neutrals will hope that they haven't seen the last of Wigan, existing and playing as they do so precariously.

Concrete alb preparation for Laminate (click together) flooring
To make a long story short...we moved into a house in which we had to remove all the old carpeting and old tile underneath it...which left us walking on the concrete slab. We ended up painting the slab with concrete paint until we had the funds to replace all the flooring. Anyway we want to install bamboo Laminate (no glue flooring) in 3 of the rooms....I understand the concrete slab should be real close to level...so down to the home improvement store to obtain the necessary items...when bam...it hit me...it would appear that I must remove the paint from the concrete slab in order to use the Self Leveling Compound because it must adhere to the slab....I really do not wnat to remove it.....its a job I would not look forward to doing. Is there something I can use to level the areas of my concrete slab without having to remove the paint? Initially I was thinking I could use Red Guard on top of this paint which would be taky upon drying that would allow the Self Leveling Compound to adhere to it.....not sure that the right way to go.
Any suggestions?
RedGard is not "tacky" when it dries. The paint would be a bond-breaker for the RedGard anyway maybe. You also can't use any chemical strippers 'cause that too would be a problem for the Self Leveller maybe.
The only acceptable way to remove sealers and paints from concrete in preparation for the addition of any Portland products is to mechanically abrade the surface. Shot blast, sand blast, grind, something like that.
Don't confuse the condition of "level" with the condition of "plane" or "flat". Your floor doesn't necessarily have to be as level as it does flat. If the surface is "rugged" for some reason then I see why you want to use SLC but if it's just crooked and flat that's a different story and may be acceptable for your intended flooring.:)

Crunched for time in the morning? Try these some of these 60 quick breakfast ideas!
Some mornings (OK, most mornings if you're in my home) you need a quick breakfast. There's just not much time to prepare a big meal, especially when you need to rush out the door.
Just because you're crunched for time, though, you shouldn't have to sacrifice a healthy start to your day.
One rule of thumb to use is to plan and prepare your breakfasts ahead of time:
- If you want to make pancakes or waffles for your family, mix the batter ahead of time and then store it in the fridge until you use it.
- Make pancakes, waffles, casseroles and quiches ahead of time and reheat in the morning. You can also make muffins and breakfast cookies ahead of time.
- Combine your oatmeal ingredients the night before and heat all night in your Crock-Pot.
- Using freezer cooking to help with breakfasts is an excellent way to save time – simply prepare and freeze your food ahead of time, then warm up while you're getting ready for your day.

Should old plumbing be replaced?
My house was built in 1953 and I've lived in it since 1980. I now want to use it as a rental. The electric has not been upgraded, so it will definitly need work, but what about the plumbing? The water line into the house was repaired around 1985 and the sewer line was completely reworked three years ago.
Other than replacing the bathroom sink and upgrading faucets in the kitchen, my inclination is to let sleeping dogs lie.
If everything is in good shape, I don't see much of a reason to change. You can always replace portions of the plumbing system if and when the need arises.
Thanks to both of you for responding.
If the electric upgrade involves tearing into walls, I'll take a look at the exposed plumbing. Otherwise, I'll just wait.
I'd do a water test to see if the lead solder used to join your pipes are leaching into the supply.
