Jerome Woman Admits to Stealing from Immigrants
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A Jerome woman accused by a federal grand jury of cheating immigrants out of thousands of dollars has agreed to plead guilty to two counts of mail fraud. The Times-News reports that officials filed a plea deal Monday in U.S. District Court in Boise concerning 40-year-old Celia Perez.
She previously pleaded not guilty to 12 counts of mail fraud. Federal prosecutors say Perez cheated immigrants by pretending to be an immigration attorney who could help them file documents. She's accused in court documents of bilking two families trying to earn visas or green cards out of more than $30,000. She's scheduled to change her plea on Wednesday. Mail fraud has a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

text: Almost immediately litespeed started creating .lsz files. From the file names, I'm assuming that litespeed is compressing static files for performance reasons: compress once and then send that compressed file over and over. I also assume this is because the "enable gzip" setting was set to yes. I wasn't expecting these files to get created and it cause a lot of problems immediately with rsync which propagates changes to several servers. Right now I turned off "gzip compression". The php files are already gzipped dynamically, so I think my immediate problem is over. I'm wondering ... can anybody quantify how much using .lsz files help over not having gzip compression on by default? The majority of my static files are graphics (jpg, gif, png) anyway.

None of this is your business.Not the tiniest bit of it.However, I think you *can* do this, which is to write to the uncle or to the wife and say, "I've recently been diagnosed with XYZ disorder, which is hereditary. I'm letting everyone in the family know so that they can consider whether they want to share this info with their own doctors, or be able to recognize symptoms, should they develop."And that's it. No follow-up, nothing.You'll have to give up some privacy to do this. But that is all you can do--you cannot ask to see if they need to know this info. You just drop the info off on their doorstep, so to speak.(My aunt, with whom there is no estrangement, was diagnosed w/ something that is hereditary in the female line. She made a point to give this info to every woman that she is related to. She'd give a baby girl up for adoption many years before, so she forwarded this info to the adoption agency she had worked with. That's about the equivalent of what you're doing.)
I agree with Toots. Let your Uncle/Aunt know that you have the disorder, but leave the ball in their court. As long as you feel everyone is safe, it is their lives.

It's been three years since Christian Olsen was sentenced to death for killing Etta Jean Westbrook, who lived across the street from him in Bryan. Tuesday, that sentence was over-turned and it all hinged on one witness for the defense in the punishment phase of Olsen's trial.
In less than an hour, a jury found Christian Olsen guilty in February 2009. About two weeks later, he headed to death row, but an appeals court ruling will have him coming off.
"We don't like to make these kind of mistakes," Brazos County District Attorney Bill Turner. "We don't like for our office to make those kind of mistakes. In capital cases, they're very strictly scrutinized, and we understand the reason."
Olsen's defense argued that his girlfriend, Kelly Sifuentez, had a huge negative influence on the then-20-year-old, and that he shouldn't die because of it. In fact, the two had been charged in the murder of Sifuentez's mother six months earlier. Sifuentez was later sentenced, while prosecutors didn't pursue a trial for Olsen since he was already on death row.
Defense attorney Billy Carter planned on calling Texas State associate professor Donna Vandiver to help show Sifuentez's influence..
"Ever since that relationship began, Christian Olsen's behavior -- everything he'd been doing in his life -- began spiraling downward," Carter said.
But the prosecution argued Vandiver wasn't qualified to interpret Olsen's psychological or psychiatric records,which she admitted. The defense was going to argue that his girlfriend was a sex offender -- grooming him, manipulating him -- and prosecutors said there wasn't evidence to show that.
The defense said Vandiver was only going to answer hypothetical questions and testify whether Kelly Sifuentez's actions were consistent with sex offenders, a focus of her research.
Judge Steve Smith sided with the prosecution, and the jury never heard Vandiver.
But the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruled "...the trial judge abused his discretion by excluding Dr. Vandiver's testimony." It ruled "...the jury was unable to fully comprehend the mitigating potential of the evidence that was before it," and said "...(Olsen) was unable to explain or rebut the State's" argument that he could be a future danger.
"I was shocked we couldn't present her," Carter said. "She was our most critical witness. As I look back on it, she was the real witness we wanted the jury to hear."
We asked the trial's prosecutor, Shane Phelps, whether he'd make the same argument against Vandiver if given the chance again.
"Given the way the questioning was, I'd probably make the same decision," he said. "From the perspective now, thinking about the family having to go through this again, I wish we had let her talk to the jury, because I don't know if the result would have been any different."
Turner's office will decide whether to retry the punishment phase and seek the death penalty after reviewing things and consulting with Westbrook's family. Otherwise, Christian Olsen would serve life in prison without parole.
According to TDCJ, Olsen remains on death row until a decision is made by Turner. If they go after the death penalty again, he'd be returned to Brazos County until trial.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban says Crimson Tide will need to play at their best to beat Auburn in this year's Iron Bowl.
Not only is this game one of the biggest rivalries in college football, it also comes with tremendous opportunity for the winning team. Alabama comes into the game ranked at #1 and undefeated while Auburn is bringing their 10-1 record and newly-gained #4 ranking. The winner of the game will be given the SEC West nod and play in the SEC Championship.
Alabama winning the SEC title would let them continue on to a BCS Championship berth. Auburn would need to win big enough to jump Ohio State and they could also be looking at a national championship scenario.
"The Iron Bowl is a great rivalry game," said Saban at the beginning of his news conference. "If you're a competitor, it's a great opportunity to compete, to play in a game that means a lot to people."
Coach Saban says his team will need to be at their best to get past Auburn. He says the game will come down to basics and mechanics.
"I think the focus needs to be on playing your best football. Try to do your job, the best you can against a very, very good team," he said.
Saban has nothing but praise for the Auburn team. He notes their tough offense, their returning starters and their ability to score points as obstacles in the game. Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall, according to Saban, stands as a particular challenge for the Tide.
"Nick Marshall does a very good job of implementing their offense. He's very athletic and makes a lot of rushes," said Saban.
Saban feels similarly about the Auburn defense. The coach says the Auburn defense knows how to pass rush and has the ability to create negative plays in the passing game.
"Defensively, they play really, really well," said Saban. "They're hard to score on. That's the most important thing about a good defense."
The Iron Bowl kicks off at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 30 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. CBS will broadcast the game.

Audio UN to establish asteroid defence planDavid Mark
DAVID MARK: In February this year a meteor exploded above Russia injuring 1,000 people. No-one knew it was coming.
Normally when an asteroid is threatening Earth, the best course of action is to send Bruce Willis to deal with the problem. But now the United Nations has decided to take a more scientific approach. It's voted to establish an asteroid defence plan.
How will it work and what will it do?
Dr Alan Duffy is a post-doctoral research fellow from the Astronomy Department at the University of Melbourne.
Dr Duffy, we've been hearing about the threat of asteroids for more than a decade now. Is it just good luck that there has been no serious collision in recent years?
ALAN DUFFY: I think that's right. We're talking about chance here. What's the chance that we're going to get hit by a dangerous asteroid? Earlier this year, Russia lucked out. It did get hit by an asteroid. About a thousand or so people were injured. So this acted as a real wake-up call that it's not just chance. This is going to happen to us sooner or later.
DAVID MARK: So you say Russia lucked out, but injuries to a thousand people could be seen as bad luck, but you see that as a wake-up call?
ALAN DUFFY: I do. This object was about 17 metres across, which is hefty but by the scale of things, if it was 10 times larger, then you could have had an explosion about 1,000 times the size of the atomic blast that took out Hiroshima. So it was bad luck of course for Russia, but it could have been infinitely worse.
DAVID MARK: I understand that only a fraction of those sorts of objects have actually been discovered. What are the actual numbers? How much do we really know about the objects out there that could destroy a city?
ALAN DUFFY: Well our best guess is that we've found barely 1 per cent of all of these objects. That's a terrifying number, and that means that there are possibly a million or so of these killer asteroids out there and one of them does have our name on it. It's just simple probability.
DAVID MARK: Well the UN has acted. It's set up an asteroid defence plan. How exactly will it work? What will it do?
ALAN DUFFY: The first step in its plan is - well, it's actually set up, the International Asteroid Warning Group. So that's a body which will share information between all the member states. Once they find an asteroid, then they'll pass the problem on to the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. They'll actually try to coordinate a mission to deflect this asteroid.
DAVID MARK: So will a UN vote actually make any difference?
ALAN DUFFY: Anything that reduces the time it takes for humanity to deal with this asteroid is a fantastic thing. This is a real positive.
For example, if we see an asteroid coming and we have 10 years to figure out a response, then we can nudge it aside relatively easily. If we leave it, if we're mired in a quagmire of legal issues and who is supposed to deal with it and we leave it until one year, then we have almost no hope.
DAVID MARK: Because you mentioned earlier that if an object is discovered, then a committee would be set up. Now I don't know if committees are generally very good at deflecting asteroids. Normally, Bruce Willis does that sort of thing, but you argue that that will help the cause.
ALAN DUFFY: That's right. It's a committee and as you say, that's never going to strike fear into the hearts of these asteroids, but the committee is necessary. It has to be a global response because it has to be a global share of the blame if it goes wrong because right now if we have Armageddon, we have our Bruce Willis hero who goes up thanks to NASA and then explodes the asteroid and debris hits all over the Earth, well, who's responsible? Actually, in this case, probably NASA.
So this is not going to be undertaken by just any one country, nor should it be, so having a committee is the first and logical step.
DAVID MARK: Now you've mentioned options for what to do if an asteroid is discovered, and you've said that the best option would be deflection. How does that work?
ALAN DUFFY: So there are two ways to deflect an asteroid. The first is you take your spaceship and you fly just beside your asteroid and just gently start to judge it, literally just push into the asteroid, and we're talking an incredibly small amount of force needed, and over time, that builds up and the asteroid just sails by. So if you have 10 years' warning, you can do it very easily, but if you have only a year's warning, you have to nudge it a lot harder.
The second is my favourite, which is the gravity tractor, and as you fly up to the asteroid, it has a tiny bit of gravity and it will pull your spaceship. And your spaceship is a lot smaller and it will have gravity pulling back on the asteroid, and if you just slowly keep inching away from the asteroid, letting gravity do the work, you can actually pull this asteroid out of the path of the Earth.
So it's a very neat idea. It's not been tested, so we would want to try and demonstrate this works before doing it for real.
DAVID MARK: Dr Alan Duffy is an astrophysicist from the University of Melbourne.

Maybe their budget doesn't stretch so far as to be able to employ 1 guy to do nothing but manage a mail server.
Exchange is a big pain in the ass, and it doesn't scale very well. I hate it, and all I have to do with it is keep it from ever touching the web directly.
E2k7 is a major leap forward in terms of scalability and touch requirement's. Its probably easier to architect correctly as well compared with e2k3. E2k3 and prior could actually scale pretty well but you had to be an exchange guru to do it right and spend a lot of energy managing the environment. They also worked ok for small single server shops out of box with little touch. It was the vast space in the middle they handled poorly.
E2K7 strikes me as something that would be a bit of bare for anyone not a
Let me start by saying that I never want to see the words "bare" and "it professional" in the same sentence. Ew. Ew. Ewwwwwwwwwwww.
That being said, I'll acknowledge that Exchange is actually improving pretty dramatically between releases. Even 2k3 is so far ahead of earlier Exchange releases as to be almost unrecognizable. We run about 300 users on a pretty small hardware footprint, and, provided you run everything through an antivirus before you send it to the users, it all works with little supervision.
Like sendmail has never had critical vulnerabilities in its address parsing code?
The irony is that the error is in MS's proprietary TNEF format. This is a binary format so it should be easy to parse.
Offtopic, but why can't slashdot link to the meat [microsoft.com] rather than some ad-laden rehash?
yeah but qmail hasn't
yeah but qmail hasn't
Of course, it has about 5% of the features of Exchange or Postfix or Exim or Sendmail or...
Sendmail is infinitely more configurable and complex than Exchange Server's SMTP MTA. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending sendmail's history, but using flaws in something as complex as humans to justify flaws in unrelated bacteria doesn't cut it.
This requires creating very specific timing conditions using SMTP connection layer commands and delivering specific email payload. Someone with specific network programming skills would be required to create a successful exploit.
My reading of this is that it took a specific email and an active attack at the same time. The Exchange vulnerability only requires specifica
Offtopic, but why can't slashdot link to the meat rather than some ad-laden rehash?
I think you answered your own question.
Like sendmail has never had critical vulnerabilities in its address parsing code?
I find it extraordinarily funny that Sendmail... probably the most insecure example of a popular open source program, is what you've chosen to compare to Exchange. Years ago there used to be a sendmail vulnerability every week!
Hell, even sendmail is more secure these days. I still won't use it though, mostly because it's a bear to configure and postfix is far better for anything I've used it for.
It is possible... this is usually the symptom of buffer overflow error in the server code. An attacker discovers the hole, takes advantage of the vulnerable buffer to "smash the stack", and dupe the process to execute the shellcode (concise machine code that does whatever an attacker wants) planted in the "specially crafted" mail text.
There are other possibilities but buffer overflows are among the most common ones. I didn't RTFA and neither do I know whether this is one but yes, taking over the server by m
> this is usually the symptom of buffer overflow error in the server code.
I really don't understand much about MS technologies, but why their Exchange server is not rewritten in C# so at least buffer overflows can be avoided?
Thank goodness my Exchange server is behind a firewall *and* a Postfix SMTP proxy running on a Linux box. There's no direct exposure of Exchange to the outside world.
Unluckily for you, this vulnerability will still affect you. If you read the security announcement by Microsoft, a possible workaround is to block all TNEF / winmail.dat attachments, which will break all incoming RTF mail. Depending on what your business exactly does, this might not be a viable workaround.
Wow, you have a firewall that stops email from getting to a mail server! I gotta get me one of those...It would reduce my workload by 95%! Since I don't answer any of my phones, the only way people could contact me with problems would be by ambushing me on the way to the bathroom.
It would keep the CEO from ever contacting me, that's for sure. God knows he'd never be caught down here with people who do work.
No, I have a Postfix server exposed on port 25, while the Exchange server sits unexposed behind the firewall. The Postfix server receives, processes (if necessary, to turf spam, etc) and then passes on mail to the Exchange server. The Exchange server then passes mail off to the Postfix for outgoing transmission.
i do the same thing with sendmail - and guess what? unless you are sure to strip everything of all possiable TNEF data then if one of the "special" e-mails passes your spam filtering it will go right on to the exchange server where it will be proccessed and you will be screwed.
this isn't someone sending a malformed SMTP message that effects only exchange's SMTP MTA.. this is specialy formatted content inside a perfectly ligit e-mail. no normal or even abnormal spam filter would catch this if it was directe
Well the firewall won't help you with this vulnerability because even after the message is handled though the other mail gateway it can still be a threat. It is however very common to not let exchange speak directly the the outside world. I for one block all smtp at my edge firewall except to and from a cluster of Barracuda Spam filters. They also used to be configured as a smart host in the E2K3 world. In 2k7 i simply don't use the edge transport rule and let the hub transport server treat them as a sen
I was more referring to the firewall aspect; struck me as funny. I once went to a property to do a security audit, and found that their firewall literally blocked EVERYTHING. No ports open at all inbound OR outbound. They paid for a broadband connection, but the individual computers were all on dialup, because they thought that's just how teh interwebs worked.
We run a secure proxy for OWA, sendmail proxy for DMZ'd email handling, a SAV gateway for virus scanning, and upstream of our internal systems we pay
It's all closed source, so there aren't any real vulnerabilities. Even the certified professionals [slashdot.org] say so. They're certified what more do you need !
As if you could spread havoc through email [google.com] on a proprietary system. Bah.
the IE fix ONLY affects IE 7. If you're running IE 6 (or even 5) on any platform, you don't have a patch to install.
Could it be, *gasp*, that IE 6 is more secure than IE 7? The mind wobbles.*
*For you yungins, go look up Kelly Bundy and the above phrase.
How about no.
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/11/ [secunia.com]
22 unpatched vulnerabilities, some of which are critical.
*For you yungins, go look up Kelly Bundy and the above phrase.
I just did. The top result [google.com] is your post!
And the next thing we will hear is that Kelly Bundy has been citing smooth wombat for all these years.
That is both hilarious and scary. Thanks!
Kelly Bundy.. hmm, can't remember how I know that name....
Oh geez, Peg, why can't you remember that? I'm going to the Nudie Bar.
Or it could be that they no longer support IE 5 and 6 and so won't release a patch even if they are affected?
The other possibility is that the bug is in the code responsible for the much better standards compliance in IE7, in which case IE5 and IE6 are only more secure because they don't support the feature, which doesn't really count.
Could it be, *gasp*, that IE 6 is more secure than IE 7? The mind wobbles.*
Is a bear catholic?
Why in the world would an e-mail delivery system ever consider executing external code? Exchange should simply look at the delivery address. If it is a local address, place the message in the user's mailbox. If an external address, forward to the next hop. What's so difficult with that task?
CommuniGate Pro has never had this problem. IronPort appliances don't have this problem. Exchange should stick to its sole job as a delivery agent and stop trying to be so smart.
Can't we live without OLE?
Why in the world would an e-mail delivery system ever consider executing external code?
Exploits such as the ones mentioned aren't because the system is executing external code intentionally, rather, a carefully crafted message will overflow a buffer and change the values of some CPU registers. If the values change in such a way that a pointer moves execution to a part of the carefully crafted message, that message is now external code that is being run.
Exploits such as the ones mentioned aren't because the system is executing external code intentionally, rather, a carefully crafted message will overflow a buffer and change the values of some CPU registers.
But that overflow would be impossible if Exchange wasn't trying to act on the contents of messages flowing through it. For instance, it's impossible to make Postfix choke on an attachment since it doesn't try to process them (with the minor exception of filtering on the headers of encapsulated emails if you specifically enable that functionality).
Exchange needs to be so smart so that it can open up the TNEF document and scan it for content which would route it depending on a user rule, an Antivirus scan need, or a content filter the admin may have.
And yes, CommunicateGate PRO has had it's share of serious problems just like almost any software;
http://secunia.com/advisories/search/?search=CommuniGate [secunia.com]
One of these allows file access as root.
....What "carefully crafted message" would I need to send to take over an Exchange Server?
To: email@example.com
Subject: H3ll0
I 0wn you Now. Please reply back with passwords.
My buddy figured out how to craft the message. He emailed me the message this morning at work. Hmm, maybe that's why its such a quiet day.
... and Exchange 2003 stopped delivering messages to mailboxes.
Rolled it back, and everything worked fine ^H^H^H^H just as it used to.
I may be missing the point of these "fixes", but surely "security updates" should actually be tested at some stage?
Yes, they should. Namely by you. In your testing environment. Before deploying it to production.
I had the same with exchange 2007. Calendaring stopped working so I reinstalled rollup 5 and everything went back to normal.
As for your comment, one day when you move into the "real world" you will realize that you dont always have the resources to test every single patch that comes down the line. Id much rather have a microsoft patch fubar the machine than have a haxxor pwning it because i was busy testing a patch. At least when i have to explain to management why the email was down for 30 minutes, I can blame microsoft instead of saying that we got exploited (which would then become MY fault).
Not everyone can afford to have redundant everything. Especially machines that are only used for testing, and therefor not in a production environment, where it is easier to find bugs. Sure, if your exchange server services 2000+ users, or generates tens of thousands of dollars a day then maybe you can afford another machine to test on. Most people in the Real World do not have those luxuries.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Baseball season is upon Tennessee Tech as they kick off the 2011 season with the Caravelle Resort Tournament at Watson Stadium, Vrooman Field in Conway, S.C. The team will commence the tournament facing off against Virginia Tech on Saturday at 10 a.m.
The Golden Eagles will be looking to continue the momentum that carried them through the end of last season to an OVC Championship and OVC Tournament runner-up spot with a 31-25 overall record, 14-6 in-conference.
They return 20 letter-winners and are joined by 10 newcomers but, more significantly, return an entire starting field with Austin Wulf, Chad Oberacker and Casanova Donaldson manning the outfield and Zephan Guyear, Devin Rivers, Chad Hayes and Frankie Beech covering the dirt. Junior Ben Burgess is also back to man his post at the dish.
Another letterman returning for TTU is junior Matt Shepherd, a right-handed pitcher who will start off on the hill against the Hokies. Shepherd pitched 45.1 innings for the Golden Eagles last season, notching 38 strikeouts en route to a 1-1 record.
The Hokies out of the ACC finished sixth in their conference last year with a 16-14 ACC record and a 40-22 overall stand. They return 14 lettermen from last season, including four position player starters and one starting pitcher.
Joe Mantiply will take the mound for the Hokies Saturday morning; the sophomore righty out of Danville, VA., returns from his 2010 debut having amassed a 4-1 record with a 5.62 ERA. He pitched 57.2 innings for VA Tech, striking out 59 on the season and allowing 36 earned runs on 67 hits.
Play on Saturday will continue when Tech takes on the hosting Chanticleers of Coastal Carolina at 2 p.m., and will wrap up with a game between the Golden Eagles and the Eagles of Boston College on Sunday, again at 10 a.m.
Fans who won't be in South Carolina for the tournament can follow the Tennessee Tech/Virginia Tech match up via Live Stats on Coastal Carolina's website.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — The Bucknell University Symphony Band will present its annual fall concert Friday, Nov. 9, at 7:30 p.m. in the Weis Center for the Performing Arts.
The Band will perform Aaron's Copland's "Lincoln's Portrait," a video and audio presentation with rare Lincoln photos, speeches, letters and folk songs. "Lincoln's Portrait" will be narrated by 1978 Bucknell graduate Harvey Edwards, a teacher at Selinsgrove High School and 2007 Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year finalist.
The American Brass Quintet will join the Band for "Shadowcatcher," a concerto based on American Indian legends, written for the quintet by Eric Ewazen, theory professor at the Juilliard School of Music.
The program also includes works by Verdi and Bernstein.
"Rolls Royce of brass quintets"
The American Brass Quintet, called "the Rolls Royce of brass quintets" by the Baltimore Sun, has been internationally recognized as one of the premier music ensembles in the world today. Now in its 48th season, the ensemble has performed in Europe, Central and South America, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and all 50 of the United States.
Admission to the Nov. 9 concert is free. Members of the band and the quintet will be available to meet with the audience following the concert.
Quintet at Weis Center, too
The quintet's discography of more than 50 recordings and numerous commissioned works includes "2 Elements" by Grammy Award-winning composer-pianist Billy Childs, who will perform with the American Brass Quintet Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. in the Weis Center for the Performing Arts.
Tickets to the Nov. 10 concert, which includes the Pennsylvania premiere of both movements, 'Water' and 'Fire' of Childs' "2 Elements," are $20, and are available from the Campus Box Office at http://www.bucknell/edu/boxoffice/ or by calling 570-577-1000.

Forum Post: Alternative Money Systems
Posted 4 years ago on July 12, 2013, 2:43 p.m. EST by OWSJoe28
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
Hello All,
Are many of you familiar with Venmo or any other money systems like it? Venmo offers a very interestingly new concept in Money Exchange. I am wondering what others exist like it. If we could start a movement and get Venmo systems in our stores, we could quickly cut off funds for transactions these large banking systems are eating up, just because we need to make a transaction. Instead of using credit card you could use Venmo and no money has to be made on us just needing to buy things. Also Venmo offers us a Social Aspect to money that if everyone adopts then we will have transparency in our Money System. Check it out, I am looking for others to see what all they offer. This could be the beginning of something new and a desperate change we need to our Money system. If we can educate ourselves about the money system up front, then they can't take advantage of us again.

Skype Fixes Flaw Allowing Easy Account Hijack
Skype has fixed a flaw that allowed a hacker to hijack legitimate accounts using only the account owner's email address. The issue was a hole in the process for resetting a user's password, said Brian Laing, director of U.S. marketing and products at AhnLab. "This is something Skype should not have allowed."
Skype on Wednesday fixed a vulnerability that allowed users' accounts to be hijacked using the password reset process.
The vulnerability was published two months ago on the Russian site Xeksec.
Skype has fixed the problem by updating the password reset process.
How the Hack Worked
To exploit the vulnerability, all a hacker needed to know a victim's email address. By entering that address on Skype's sign-in page, hackers would receive a warning that an account with that email address already exists.
The hacker could then create a new Skype account tied to another email address and Skype would email a reminder of the original username associated with that account. It would also send a password reset token that could be used to freeze out the actual owner of the Skype account.
From there, the hacker could run the Skype application with the new credentials.
The vulnerability has been publicized on several Russian forums and blogs, and was being actively exploited in the wild, Kaspersky Labs said.
Who Got Hit
The vulnerability affected some users with multiple Skype accounts registered to the same email address.
Skype suspended the password reset feature temporarily on Wednesday morning prior to updating the process and is reaching out to a small number of users who may have been impacted.
Skype declined to provide further details.
Logic Problems
The Skype vulnerability is an example of a flaw that emerges "due to inherent logic issues in the overall system, which do not typically require any custom code to exploit," said Brian Laing, director of U.S. marketing and products at AhnLab.
"Given that this is a process issue, the coding change to resolve [it] should be relatively quick and easy for them to do and should not require that they change anything in the client," Laing told TechNewsWorld. "Unless someone mistakenly changes something on the back end, it should be a permanent fix."
Although logic problems "can often be the hardest for people to find, especially if the development team does not have a security mindset driving some of their testing and architecture, this is something [Skype] should not have allowed," Laing stated. "If [Skype] knew about it before, they should have addressed it immediately."
It's standard practice that, for password resets, an email is sent to the email address, Laing pointed out. "Additionally, many services require an acknowledgement email sent to the email address used to set up an account. The fact that [Skype] don't require this broadly adopted standard shows that some of their security is not adequate."
Skype and Microsoft
Whether this latest vulnerability will impact Microsoft's plans to replace Windows Live Messenger with Skype remains to be seen.
"My guess is that this [vulnerability] won't impact [Microsoft's plans] at all," Laing said. "IM client use tends to be dictated by your social group more than any product choice."
Microsoft declined to provide further details.

Insurance firm AIG has labelled Hanover Group Holdings' court claim against it as "misconceived".
Hanover and AIG are in an insurance stoush involving a directors and officers liability (D&O) policy worth up to $20 million.
The dispute is over whether this policy - which Hanover took out with AIG - covers claims involving two 2007 prospectuses, one issued by Hanover Finance and the other by United Finance.
Six former Hanover directors and promoters are being sued by the Financial Markets Authority over allegedly misleading or untrue statements made in these prospectuses and the insurance policy would be used to cover costs for this case or any damages that could be payable.
Although Hanover insurance broker Grant Dawson told the court yesterday that in 2007 AIG intended to provide cover for all prospectuses Hanover issued, this was disputed this morning.
The lawyer for AIG, Andrea Challis, said Hanover's claim was "misconceived".
Challis said in her opening submissions that Dawson had misinterpreted an email from the insurance giant.
While Hanover claimed AIG mislead it regarding the cover, Challis denied this.
"It was not AIG who misrepresented anything...." she said.
"In this instance, Hanover's remedy is against the broker, not AIG."
The case, being heard in the High Court at Auckland, continues today with AIG underwriter Vince Barker giving evidence.

Day #1 NACs
It is Sunday afternoon and we are sitting on a screened porch by the water, in a house two doors down from the Lake Norman Yacht club. The wind is gorgeous! About 10 mph steady from the northeast. The women and the juniors' championships are finished, though I couldn't tell much from my view. We are all wishing we could bottle some of this lovely air and save it for the coming days because most models predict maybe 6 or 8 tomorrow and then absolutely nothing, with the wind boxing the compass, until Friday. Plus temperatures in the 90s…Yikes! Well, time will tell, of course. It's been wet and cool in North Carolina, just like in the Midwest (best line I heard today was from Stuart Cofield of Privateer Yacht Club in Chattanooga , "last summer was so hot and dry fishermen had to check their catch for ticks!"). LYNC has gotten so much rain in the last few days that the usual field where we park is a swamp and they had to reorganize all the parking places so they didn't tear up their field. Best part of the regatta so far? The Loch Ness/dragon-style gumball dispenser (in keeping with the theme of the regatta "Loch Norman"). You put a penny in it and turn the contraption and a gumball comes out. Green, blue or yellow and that tells you what measurement you get. Yellow is the biggest pain in the neck; you have to get your boat weighed, among other things. We have about 70 boats registered, based on my last information and there are several boats representing our district: Frank (who will become President of FSSA at the end of the regatta) and Marianne Gerry, Ryan Malmgren, Bill Vogler, and Ben and myself.

I have known many bright, insightful, inspired and successful people who suffer from dyslexia, and that information is important for teachers - especially English and literacy instructors - to remember.
" Interestingly a study by Charlotte Gill called Dyslexics Bank of Disability found that "self-made millionaires are four times more likely than the rest of the population to be dyslexic." The reason, of course, is that dyslexics struggle with basic linear sequential reasoning that is the foundation of standard literacy. Instead - and perhaps because of their "disability" - dyslexics are big picture thinkers who thrive in the challenge of creation and innovation and synthesis. In other words, because they can't read, they have adapted in other ways to simply "figure it out on their own."

For anyone that's had an issue with getting XDebug to work with the Debian linux distribution, you might want to check out this helpful hint Carsten Lucke has posted about.
This week I started to setup a Debian-based (Etch) web-server with PHP 5.2 in a virtual-machine with VMWare. Part of this setup was getting XDebug2 integrated. It's really awesome and my students definitely need to learn about it. [...] Building went well as usual but when I tried to integrate the extension inside php.ini it was all weird.
His system kept throwing him an error when he tried to load the shared module using the zend_extension directive, hand things happened. Loading it normally worked (so he knew it wasn't the module) and he finally figured out the problem:
But I need to enable it as Zend extension. Whatever. I finally used the full path to xdebug.so to load it [...] that worked.

Call me a heretic but I don't see great value in games that have players stealing cars and beating up innocent bystanders. I'd rather see children have fun playing games while also learning important skills as a byproduct. In that spirit, I've started a list of educational iPad game apps for casual home use. They don't necessarily help you master long division or prepare for an upcoming geography test. The accent is primarily on having fun. The second important criterion is that time spent playing is productive and that something of value is learned.

Maybe the bond between Jay Cutler and Greg Olsen isn't as strong as when the two frequented Chicago hotspots a few years back, but the Bears quarterback obviously still has a great appreciation for his former tight end.
"He'd be great in this offense,'' Cutler said of Olsen, now with the Panthers team visiting Soldier Field on Sunday. "Greg definitely would fit what we're doing right now as a tight end getting down the field, hitting the seams … just doing a lot of stuff.''

Wow, that might be the funniest thing I've read in a while. Do the breaks include 15 other teams all contracting bird flu and dropping dead?
Ok, let's look at Lloyd's "entire body of work," including his west coast record, his Notre Dame record, his OSU record, and shared titles, both Big Ten & National.

You're lonely, and this guy is bucking for a Section 8! :-)
We could sweep the home games (primarily because they include Vanderbilt, CMU and Ball State), but they won't be a picnic.
At ND. At Minnesota (night game). At PSU (night game). At OSU. We're lucky to go 2-2 in that stretch. Very lucky.
Llllloyd only makes it to Phoenix if he buys his air ticket now.
Best offensive skill players in the country? Wow! Who are these guys? Henne? 60% completion pct isn't a top talent. Hart? Great team player, not a top talent. Grady? Talk to me when he's actually done something. Manningham? On his way, but not there yet. Breaston? Other than his last Rose Bowl performance, has this guy actually done anything?
We've been looking through rose-colored glasses too often. This is an unproven offense, with a weak offensive line - and a defense that gets shredded when the game is on the line. Phoenix is out of the question. Pasadena is doubtful. Tampa seems about right.

tosu fans ask me all the time how i/we "feel" about carr, and it's always a conflicting answer for me. if you had told me in '95 that over the next 11 seaasons our next coach would win 5 conference titles, play in 3 rose bowls, 1 orange (& be 2-2 in these 4 games), play in 5 other new years day bowls, have a .500 record against nd, 6-5 against tosu, an outstanding record against moosu, psu, and wisconsin, and have a 12-0 championship season w/ a heisman trophy winner to boot, my reaction would have been an unqualified: "GREAT"! i keep trying to remind myself of that, but it gets harder every year.
who'd a thunk the "good" part of his record would all happen in the first 5-6 years, and the negatives would all take place in the last 5?
this season is going to be a real watershed, not just for carr going forward, but how he gets remembered in the long run. the column is right in that all the talent is there and despite the brutal road schedule, this could be a big year (if not a '97, certainly an '03 is possible). likewise, if the coaching shuffle doesn't get results (which leaves only carr to blame this season), we could easily drop 5 games again. either way, my guess this is going to be defining for lloyd's future and past.
one last thought- in another post/comment string (about $witzer/tressel$'s K), someone drew the comparison to his and carr's record. i think it's more relevant than most people would credit.
unless you're urban meyer or nick saban and move on every 3-5 years, things tend to catch up w/ you. remember when bob stoops was the flavor of the month? larry coker/butch davis? the more successful you are early, the tougher it gets to live up to expectations.
sweaterboy's standing in the same shoes carr did after 5 seasons. even if he doesn't "crash" (the way M fans feel carr has), the odds are against his next 5 years being as good as the first 5. and how happy will that make people?
ask the average tosu fan on the street what he thinks about not playing for, let alone winning, another NC for 5 years, and after the "fuck you"'s are over, they'll gape at you like you're crazy. tosu went 30 years between NC's last time, and 23 years between attempts, but they expect to win, let alone play for, one every year now. despite 10-2 last season, most are disappointed they didn't play in pasadena. they'll be disappointed if they don't make it to tempe this season. no coach can live up to those expectations.
simple moral is that if you stay in one place long enough, people get disappointed in you eventually. just ask lloyd.

Disaster pricing
The rock slide that severed the main highway connecting the eastern and western parts of Colorado has caused another calamity — sky-high airfares between Denver and Grand Junction.
The Grand Junction Sentinel had a story today that said the fare, which is usually $400 if bought two weeks in advance, is from the high $700s to nearly $900.
People quoted in the story said the high end price is a function of people getting "walk up" fares for the last remaining seats. I am no travel expert, but those prices seem crazy high to me.
I did a quick search on Travelocity.com to see what it would cost to fly to London this weekend. I found I could get a round trip flight AND a hotel for $963 per person, double occupancy.
The cost disparity is startling. After all, it's only 327 miles from Denver to Grand Junction and a whopping 4,672 miles from Denver to London.
Now, I know that if you need to get around the rock-choked section of I-70 in Glenwood Canyon, the cost of getting to London is really not that relevant. But maybe it's worth thinking about going somewhere else for a few days until that mess gets cleared up.

Sarah Wallace, a veteran educator of the Lincoln County School System with 34 years experience, has been named as the new principal of Lincoln County High School, according to an announcement made last week by Dr. Wanda Shelton, director of schools with the Lincoln County Department of Education.
Mrs. Wallace, who takes the position with for the 2013-14 academic year, accepted the position of leading Lincoln County High School as it enters its 34th year of serving the youth of this county. Mrs. Wallace's educational experience encompasses both elementary and secondary levels of service.
Upon leaving the classroom, Mrs. Wallace began her administrative experience as assistant principal of Central Junior High School. From there, she would assume the role of principal of Flintville Elementary School from 1997-2005. In 2005, Mrs. Wallace embarked on a new and unique educational experience – the opening of Ninth Grade Academy. She has served in this capacity as the only principal since its inception.
A major highlight during these years was being named recipient of the Elisa Luna Award last spring. The commissioner of education presented the award to Mrs. Wallace in a ceremony in Nashville.
Mrs. Wallace has expressed how excited she is as she accepts this new position and new challenge.
"I am so thrilled over the prospects of working with the youth of this county for several more years," she said. "The large majority of these young people were a part of our NGA family as ninth graders. Not only do I have a relationship with them but with their parents as well."
"Mrs. Wallace loves her school, her staff, and her job," said Shelton. "She sees LCHS as a new challenge. With her high academic standards, all of our Falcons will soar."

I attended the Reds Caravan stop at the Town Centre Mall today. It was supposed to begin at 3:15, but the bus didn't arrive until 3:25 PM. I got there at 3:00 and the line wrapped from Macy's the entire width of the mall, around a planter, and down the mall. I waited patiently. Marty Brenneman, Chris Welsh, Lee May, and Brandon Phillips came walking in, by the crowd, and up to the makeshift stage. A couple of us yelled at Marty as he came in and he smiled and responded, "what's up guys?" Oh yeah, Gapper was there too.
After Marty introduced everyone (including an absent Brandon Phillips who mysterously disappeared for a little while), the line started moving as people brought bats, balls, etc for autographs. Marty mentioned that they were "Team A" of the caravan. He mentioned that Brantley and Grande were "Team B" and they had Yonder Alonzo with them and before the caravan was over, he might want to ask for a trade. Since I'm really not into autographs, i just followed the line to speak to Marty, Chris, Brandon and Lee May. There were some Reds officials there too, but pressed for time, i concentrated on those four.
Marty seems like a nice guy as does Chris. Both were talkative. Brandon smiled constantly and offered to sign my group ticket brochure. I asked about the 2009 Reds and got few answers, even if Suddenlink would be carrying the Fox Ohio 100+ game schedule. No one, including Welsh had an answer. Typical because the sponsor of the event was local radio station WCHS.
A nice trip. I recommend it when it comes to your town.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Alexei Ramirez homered and drove in four runs, Dayan Viciedo and Paul Konerko also went deep and the Chicago White Sox climbed out of a five-run hole before holding on for a wild 7-6 win over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.
Zach Putnam worked two shutout innings in relief of Scott Carroll, and Ronald Belisario also threw two scoreless innings before Scott Downs and Jake Petricka bailed out Matt Lindstrom.
Lindstrom, normally the White Sox closer, gave up a leadoff single to Nori Aoki in the ninth, then appeared to hurt his foot fielding a sacrifice bunt by Alcides Escobar that resulted in an error. Downs entered and struck out Eric Hosmer, then Petricka picked off pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson at second base before getting Billy Butler on a groundout to end the game.

Release Notes: This release adds a new central node mode (a single node can be placed on the display center, useful for routers and proxies), re-enables fullscreen mode, adds a German translation, and updates the Spanish translation.
Release Notes: A critical bug triggered by RPC traffic that could be exploited to make EtherApe crash just by sending a suitable packet was fixed. No packet data is involved other than the IP addresses, so privilege escalation should not happen.
Release Notes: EtherApe gains several traffic statistics and can now export them. OS X compatibility was improved. Italian and Swedish translations have been added.
Release Notes: IPv6 support was added. EtherApe now computes average packet size to better estimate network usage. A new option, --min-delay, allows slow-motion replay of a capture file. Note that the non-threaded name resolver is deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
Release Notes: This release adds support for 802.11 WLAN, LLC-SNAP, Radiotap and PPI encapsulation, and 802.1Q VLAN tagging. VLAN tags are decoded but ignored, showing all traffic as being in a normal LAN. EtherApe now uses gnome-doc-utils. Note that this release will be the last mirrored on the CVS repository, which will be shut down on March 2010.
Release Notes: New functionality: a node listing window, substantial performance enhancements, and some improvements here and there. New timing defaults: out of the box, Etherape will react faster to traffic changes and give a better "feel" of current the network state. Most of the UI now uses directly GTK+ instead of Gnome. Bonobo dock and several other deprecated widgets were removed. This is the first release done using Mercurial as an SCM. To ease the transition, this time it will also be available on the old CVS repository.
Release Notes: Some newer distributions (e.g. Fedora Core 5) weren't able to correctly build the previous release. A critical bug in the preferences dialog was fixed, and Debian compatibility was improved.
Release Notes: The manual was completely rewritten with docbook-XML. OS X support was improved. There is now a 'zero-delay' (-z) option for playing captured files without accounting for timestamps. Several bugs, including one preventing conversations from expiring properly.
Release Notes: Extensive refactoring in this release allows tighter memory control and improves protocol dissector robustness. Protocol details are now available on all detail dialogs. A new detail dialog was provided for links. protocol aging was introduced along with a new, more portable method for obtaining the available capture interfaces. The preferences dialog was tidied up by removing unneeded entries. Several outstanding bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: The ability to resolve names using not only DNS, but also /etc/hosts was added. A new multithreaded name resolver allows etherape to fully support every name resolution configuration, while maintaining the asynch resolving capabilities of the old algorithm. A couple of bugs were fixed, and other tweaks were were done to build on Mac OS X and with gcc4.

AL roundup: Yankees split doubleheader with Indians
Credit: AP
CLEVELAND — Vidal Nuno pitched five innings of three-hit ball to win his first major league start, Vernon Wells and Lyle Overbay had two RBIs apiece and the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 7-0 Monday for a doubleheader split.
Justin Masterson pitched a four-hitter for his third career shutout as the Indians won the opener 1-0 and stopped the Yankees' five-game winning streak.
Pitching in just his second game for the Yankees, Nuno (1-1) walked three and struck out three. The former Cleveland draft pick became the only left-hander other than CC Sabathia or Andy Pettitte to start for New York since 2008.
Yankees rookie Adam Warren finished the five-hitter for his first big league save.
New York chased Trevor Bauer (1-2) during a six-run seventh and handed the Indians just their third loss in 16 games.
In the opener, Masterson (6-2) gave up four singles — only one reached the outfield — for his third career shutout and second this season. The right-hander also blanked the Chicago White Sox on April 12.
Jason Kipnis homered in the first inning off David Phelps (1-2) for the Indians, outscored 25-7 by the Yankees in two losses last month. Consecutive postponements back then forced the teams back to Progressive Field for a one-admission twinbill.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Yoenis Cespedes and Brandon Moss hit consecutive home runs and A.J. Griffin matched his season high with eight strikeouts to lead Oakland over Texas.
It was Texas' first trip to Oakland since being swept in the final three games of the 2012 regular season and coughing up the AL West title to the surprising A's. The Rangers (24-14) arrived in the Bay Area having won seven of nine and began the day with the best record in the majors, but again ran into their division nemesis.
Griffin (4-3) went seven innings and didn't walk a batter for the first time this season. He improved to 3-0 in four starts against division opponents.
Mitch Moreland homered to give the Rangers the lead in the second, then Eric Sogard and John Jaso hit RBI singles for the A's in the bottom half. Texas had its four-game winning streak snapped.
Justin Grimm (2-3) lost his third straight.
DETROIT (AP) — Andy Dirks hit his first career grand slam, part of a six-run fourth inning for Detroit against Houston.
Victor Martinez also homered for the Tigers, who swept four straight in Houston earlier this month and opened this three-game series at Comerica Park with another convincing victory.
Anibal Sanchez (4-3) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings for the Tigers. He struck out eight with one walk.
Bud Norris (4-4) allowed seven runs and nine hits in five innings before leaving with lower back spasms. Houston has lost five straight and 15 of 18 — and the Astros also lost standout second baseman Jose Altuve in the second with a jaw injury after he collided with right fielder Jimmy Paredes on a popup.
Dirks finished a triple shy of the cycle — a fine performance in the leadoff spot after Austin Jackson went on the disabled list earlier in the day with a pulled left hamstring.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Billy Butler broke out of a severe slump with five hits and five RBIs, and Kansas City kept Joe Blanton winless in eight starts this season with a victory over Los Angeles.
Butler's hit total tied his career high, established on July 27, 2009, at Baltimore. The designated hitter has three games with five or more RBIs in the majors. He began the day in a 4-for-35 rut with a .228 average and one RBI in 23 at-bats over his previous six games.
Luis Mendoza (1-2) allowed three runs and six hits over six innings, striking out six and walking none as the Royals began a nine-game road trip following a three-game sweep by the Yankees. The right-hander was staked to a 10-1 lead and took a three-hitter into the sixth before giving up a pair of runs.
Luke Hochevar pitched three innings for his first save in seven big league seasons.
Blanton (0-7) threw 99 pitches through 4 2-3 innings, giving up seven runs and 12 hits with seven strikeouts and no walks.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Twins rookie Aaron Hicks hit two home runs and made a leaping catch in center field to take a tying home run away from Adam Dunn in Minnesota's victory over Chicago.
Justin Morneau extended his hitting streak to nine games with three hits and four RBIs, including a three-run double that capped the scoring in the eighth inning. Trevor Plouffe had a two-run double in the third.
Hicks, who missed the previous two games with a sore right elbow, led off the fourth with a solo homer to center that gave the Twins a 5-2 lead. He robbed Dunn of a two-run shot in the sixth and connected again in the bottom half.
Dunn and Hicks entered the game tied for the lowest batting average in the majors (.137) among qualifiers. When the night was over, Hicks' average was .152 and Dunn's .133.
Twins starter Pedro Hernandez (2-0) allowed three runs and six hits in 5 1-3 innings.
Hector Santiago (1-2) yielded six runs — three earned — and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings. He had only allowed one earned run in his previous two starts.

Or alien pr0n. Which might be less fascinating than we hope
It is unlikely that real aliens resemble humans in dorky Hollywood outfits.
To be fair, it's probably differently fascinating than we hope.
It couldn't be much weirder than the japanese stuff.
Well if you don't find the actual and brutal reality of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq9IKsH9BXg [youtube.com] at least a little bit exciting then SETI is not for you.
I was horrified, I was electrified, I was shocked!!!! Even worse, now I want to watch the whole documentary on space aliens and their impact on Earth humans, especially the sultry ones, with some popcorn on a raining day. Damn you for infecting my brain with such horror.
No, it's using space as a backup medium.
You broadcast your data in a specific direction [which travels at light-speed], and then use your FTL spaceship to get ahead of the beam after several hundred years to retrieve the data.
LOFAR has delivered its first EU-UK radio 'pictures.'
What the hell is "EU-UK" supposed to mean? Did the Conservatives pass a bill without anyone noticing or something?
In addition to being an initialism for European Union, EU is also a shorthand for Europe.
Traditionally, the UK & Northern Ireland aren't considered as "Europe" in a similar way to Norway/Sweden/Finland
in which tradition? the Europe I know of contains the British Islands, and meets Asia at the Ural mountains.
The Great British tradition of considering themselves superior to and different from the rest of the world. (To be fair, that is mostly an English trait)
Hey, hey, nobody beats the US in considering themselves superior to the rest of the world. America! Fuck Yeah!
"I learned it from watching you! (UK)"
(probably just dated myself on that last quote...)
The Great British tradition of considering themselves superior to and different from the rest of the world.
Are there any countries at all that don't consider themselves "superior to and different from the rest of the world"?
in which tradition? the Europe I know of contains the British Islands, and meets Asia at the Ural mountains.
It completely depends on context.
If I'm in Britain, and I say to someone I'm thinking of taking a holiday in Europe then it means I'm not going to the UK or Ireland (since I'd say I was going to e.g. Wales). I'm going to multiple countries, otherwise I'd just name the country.
If I say "Europe is going to have do X because China's doing Y" that includes the UK and Ireland. It might mean just the EU (or EEA, EC,
If I'm speaking to someone who isn't European, or if I'm not in Europe, then the UK is included when I say "Europe".
Some British people don't like the EU. It's usually obvious whether they include the UK when they say "Europe", and will depend on whether they're comparing football to baseball, or regurgitating what they read in the Daily Mail.
(FWIW, I've been "to America" four times. Two of those trips included Canada as well as the USA, but I don't usually mention that unless questioned further. Canadians might not like that.)
I understand it depends on context. But for this particular story, saying "EU-UK" seems kind of stupid. Everything started in the Netherlands, and it involves a bunch of countries from Europe. In fact, they're all from the EU, so that would be enough. I can see that this title is the submitter's contribution, anyway, as the original article specifically uses "EU-wide".
Regarding your trips to "America": if you told me that, I would assume you were talking about a trip that included latin America. I expect pe
What the idiot submitter meant was the UK section of the EU LOFAR antenna had been expanded, which I understood automatically. It's like talking about MS. Which effen division of MS are you talking about? India? EU? Japan? China? NorAm (North America)? S. America? What division?
That's what I understood the poster to mean. Of course, I also speak Amglish instead of the Queen's English and yes I'm one of those revolting colonists
"I'm one of those revolting colonists"
Up with colons!!
Canada, with 10% of the U.S.A.'s population, lined up right against the border and overwhelmed by their southern neighbour's television, music, and economics... well, we tend to like differentiating ourself whenever possible.
You can go 'to the Americas' which would mean North, South, and Central America... That'd be a bit of a trip.
'America' singular is generally taken to mean the United States of America only and to include Canada in that instead of mentioning it separately would be likely be taken either
Funny but a lot of Mexicans I know like to point out that they are Americans because Mexico is part of North America. As a US citizen a actually tired to stop using American when I was referring to my nationality out of respect for Mexico and Canada and all the rest of the nations of North and South America. Interesting the differences in perception.
BTW Canada is a great nation and I am glad we share a boarder with you guys. I have been to Windsor on business and went to Victoria for my honeymoon. I hope yo
Finns will say they live in Europe. However, Europe (especially the EU) is sometimes contrasted with Finland. This was particularly notable when Finland was going to join the EU. Also now, when populistic EU-critical groups have become more popular recently.
There is also the term "manner-Eurooppa", ie. 'continental Europe', which doesn't include Finland, Norway or Sweden. The UK isn't part of that either but Denmark probably is.
Oh, really?
PS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe [wikipedia.org]
It's even written clearly on passports as "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". I think it would be quite tough for someone to claim it's only traditionally linked with the UK. Linked with Great Britain, now, that's a different matter - Northern Ireland isn't in Great Britain but we'd habitually call the Northern Irish "British" even though in an absurdly pedantic manner of thinking, they're not. Although you could swing it by pointing out that Ireland is part of the British Isles - wh
I'd say that might be debatable - that comes from common usage. If we're being lunatically pedantic I don't think we can use "Britain" as a synonym of "United Kingdom". Though I highly doubt all that many Northern Irish people are gonna care too much, unless they'd be... unreasonable... about it all.
Not part of "Continental Europe". Nobody would claim they are not part of Europe.
LOFAR antenna work just above and just below the FM radio bands (the black boxes - HBAs - work at higher freqs, and the spindly things - LBAs - work at lower freqs). What's more LOFAR electronics are designed to supress radiation in the FM frequencies because they are so enourmous compared to the astronomical signals we're looking for.
... instead of a PR puff piece, see the LOFAR web site [lofar.org].
..they haven't been LO-FING around!
The '70s just called. They want their sense of humor back.
The 90s just called. They want their 'X just called and wants its Y back' jokes back.
Yes, but you have to realise that the British never like to give any credit to the Dutch for anything...
- The world's largest radiotelescope [lofar.org] is based in the Netherlands.
- The world's highest rate of cycling [blogspot.com] is in the Netherlands.
- The Dutch crime rate is so low that they're having to import prisoners from other countries [vorige.nrc.nl] to avoid making prison officers redundant.
- The Dutch manage to be the world's second largest agricultural exporter [rovinginsight.org] despite having just 0.03% [wikipedia.org] of the world's
One of the most interesting consequences is that they can save data from each of the receivers (given enough storage; I worked briefly on the LOFAR data storage and it's a big problem since there's terabyte upon terabyte of data flooding off these things and you'd rapidly run out of space if you kept it all for too long) and then basically point a radio telescope *in software*. The stations themselves have absolutely no pointing at all, they really are just dumb receivers. But with the data put onto a compu
His strength is a legend, his skills conquer all, Armed with his power, we never will fall! LOFAR!
Wait, if it's " low frequency radio array telescope ", wouldn't it be "LOFART"?
Don't blame me, but they're the ones who chose the name, I'm just sayin'.
Yup, especially since LOFAR used to refer to a type of sonobouy used by the US Navy... It probably is still in use (although those were older designs even in the 80s/90s - so maybe they moved on).
In some ways yes - in other no. See here: http://blog.lofar-uk.org/2011/02/lofar-largest-telescope-in-world.html

Interesting to hear Jocelyn Bell in this short video.
She is the lady, who as a grad student discovered pulsars. Her supervisor, Anthony Hewish, got awarded the Nobel prize for it together with Martin Ryle, but not she. To be fair, Hewish had co-invented the radio-telescope modality (aperture synthesis) that made the discovery possible. Nonetheless this spectacular discovery certainly contributed to his Nobel prize.
Ms Bell is quite famous in radioastronomy circles and has done lots of good work.
How likely is it to catch a Extraterrestrial bimbo sunbathing nude with that

Of the Hill People ?
Came here looking for this. I was not teh disappoint.
The most common interpretation of this is going to be "overall visible mass". Brings up images of those monster dishes.
But of course this is referring to "largest DISTRIBUTED antenna system". While I realize this is one way to say it, that's like me telling someone I have the "largest computer in the world" because I have three PCs networked together, one in the USA, one in Netherlands, and one in Australia.
If you're going to say "largest", don't be such a headline whore and at least throw in "distributed" somewhere in the headline. "Most widely distributed" actually is closer on the mark.
Their telescope so old they built a moat around it? I wonder if there are crocodiles.
Much have I have seen, and much have I done, for I am LOFAR of the Hill People!
You know, I will do battle with my telescope, and lose. I will do battle with my telescope, and win.. and yet, I still lose! And I am supposed to feel great sorrow for it! I swear, by Zeena's teats, if I had my telescope's advantage on the field of war, I would be a god.
Experience varies directly with equipment ruined.
