McAfee: Threat FocusBy Baselinemag | Posted 2005-12-13 Print
Antivirus software is the hub of its offerings, though McAfee has also expanded to provide other flavors of security software.
Back in 1997, McAfee Associates was primarily a provider of antivirus software. It changed its name to Network Associates that year, after merging with network analysis tools company Network General. Then last year, after divesting its non-security assets—including help-desk software that it sold to BMC—it changed its name back to McAfee.
Today, antivirus software is, once again, the hub of its offerings. The company claims that 100 million machines use its antivirus package.
Like its key competitor, Symantec, McAfee has also expanded to provide intrusion detection and prevention products, encryption software, and antispyware and antispam software. But according to some customers, McAfee has been slow to develop security products in certain areas.
Humana, a health maintenance organization based in Louisville, Ky., uses McAfee's ePolicy Orchestrator to keep antivirus definition files on desktops up to date, and to manage the McAfee host-based intrusion detection software on servers.
The company was getting "beat to death" by spyware a year and a half ago, says Mike Howell, information-technology security consultant at Humana. At the time, McAfee didn't offer software to find and eliminate spyware. So instead, Howell and his team chose to deploy Webroot Software's antispyware product. "It's not a matter of whether McAfee can do it now—it's a question of whether they had the capability we needed at the right time," he says.
McAfee has now jumped into the market with both feet: In November, the company announced AntiSpyware Enterprise. The main component of the product (set to be available by the start of 2006) is software that resides on personal computers to catch and remove programs that have surreptitiously loaded themselves. According to Steve Crutchfield, McAfee's director of product marketing, "We've seen the problem of spyware rise from the level of nuisance to a major security concern."
Meanwhile, Sappi Fine Paper, a specialty paper manufacturer with North American headquarters in Boston, uses McAfee's Entercept intrusion detection system on about 2,000 servers worldwide. But Jim Cupps, the company's information security officer, notes a limitation of the version of the Entercept software Sappi is using: As an intrusion-detection system, it watches only for specific kinds of attacks and—like antivirus software—must be regularly updated to be effective.
"The biggest danger for us was the period of time between when you get [a vulnerability] out there and when you can patch the machine," Cupps says. "I wasn't covering the gap time with Entercept alone." To plug the gap, Sappi deployed intrusion prevention software from Determina that resides in memory to look for and stop any anomalous activity on 50 of the company's most critical manufacturing servers.
McAfee says the latest version of Entercept provides the same kind of dynamic intrusion-prevention capabilities. However, Cupps notes, "It's generally good to have two different measures in place. You don't want all the eggs in one basket."

March 14, 2007
Ben Davis High School head football coach Tom Allen has accepted a position as special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach at Wabash College. He will also be an assistant track and field coach.
Allen served as the Giants' head coach for three seasons, compiling a 25-12 record after replacing high school coaching icon, Dick Dullaghan.
"It's been my lifelong dream to coach at the collegiate level, and to do so if and when the situation was right," Allen said. "The position at Wabash is the perfect opportunity for me.
"I'm excited about this opportunity because I'm going from a high school with a rich and successful football tradition to a college with a rich and successful football history. I have great admiration for Head Coach Chris Creighton and his staff. I know a number of former Ben Davis players who have had great football careers at Wabash and who are also successes in life."
Allen was the defensive coordinator at Ben Davis from 1998-2003 before being elevated to the head coaches' position after Dullaghan announced his retirement. Allen was part of three state championships won by the Giants. He also served as defensive coordinator at Armwood High School in Sefner, Florida, for two seasons and was the head coach and defensive coordinator at Temple Heights High School in Tampa from 1992-1994.
In addition to his duties as a football coach, Allen will work with the track and field program. He was an assistant track and field coach at Ben Davis for three seasons and has worked as an instructor at the Ben Davis Speed Development Camp since 1998. Allen was also an assistant track and field coach during his time at Armwood High School.
He graduated magna cum laude from Maranatha Baptist Bible College in 1992. Allen received a master of arts from Indiana University.
Allen replaces Jamie Lemmond, who plans to return to the East Coast to teach and coach.
"Tom Allen brings more to our coaching staff than just X's and O's," Creighton said about his new assistant. "We are replacing someone in Jamie Lemmond who is a ten on a ten-point scale as both a coach and a leader of men. Tom is also someone who can help make Wabash men better men.
"Tom has been the head coach and an assistant at one of the most successful high school football programs in the nation. It takes a high-energy person to be successful in a high-profile program like Ben Davis. I feel fortunate to be able to add Tom to our staff."
Wabash earned a share of the 2006 North Coast Athletic Conference football title after posting an 8-2 regular season record and a 6-1 mark in league play. The Little Giants became the first team to win back-to-back titles in the NCAC in five years after going undefeated in the 2005 regular season to win their second league crown.

The euro strengthened to an almost eight-month high versus the dollar after French consumer confidence unexpectedly improved and Italian business sentiment climbed, underpinning demand for the region's assets.
The yen reached a 27-month low against the dollar as John Taylor, founder and chairman of New York-based currency hedge fund FX Concepts LLC, said Japan's currency may weaken to 90 per dollar for the first time since June 2010. The currency fell against all 16 of its major counterparts before a report tomorrow is forecast to show Japanese consumer prices fell. The Dollar Index declined as U.S. lawmakers return to Washington to try to craft a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff.
"We aren't in as desperate times as we were in the middle of this year and there's some upward pressure on the euro," said Simon Smith, chief economist at FxPro Group Ltd. in London. "With the yen being under pressure, the euro is benefiting. The market is looking with a certain degree of caution at the yen because the politicians are talking tough."
The euro appreciated 0.4 percent to $1.3280 at 8:43 a.m. New York time, after rising to $1.3308 on Dec. 19, the highest since April 3. The common currency gained 0.7 percent to 114.04 yen after touching the strongest since Aug. 4, 2011. The yen fell 0.3 percent to 85.87 per dollar, touching the lowest level since Sept. 17, 2010.
Winners, Losers
South Africa's rand has gained 4.8 percent this month against the U.S. currency, the biggest increase of the greenback's major peers. The yen has declined 4 percent.
This year, Norway's krone has advanced 7.6 percent as the yen has fallen 10.4 percent.
An index of French household sentiment rose to 86 in December from 84 in November, the first monthly increase since May, the national statistics office Insee said. Economists forecast an unchanged reading of 84, according to a Bloomberg survey. A gauge of Italian business climbed to 88.9 from 88.5, according to Rome-based national statistics institute Istat.
The euro's 14-day index of relative strength climbed to 70.6 to the dollar. A level of more than than 70 signals its rally may have been too far, too fast.
The euro has appreciated 2.9 percent in the past three months, the second best performer of 10 developed-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes after the Swiss franc. The yen tumbled 11 percent and the dollar dropped 0.1 percent.

Two people were hurt in a three-car accident that happened around 8:35 p.m. Sunday on North Hubbardston Road south of French Road.
Two people were hurt in a three-car accident that happened around 8:35 p.m. Sunday on North Hubbardston Road south of French Road.
A Ford pick-up truck driven by Rose Marie Cunningham, 54, of Carson City was traveling northbound on North Hubbardston Road, when the driver crossed the center line, according to Ionia County Sheriff Dale Miller. Cunningham's truck sideswiped a Jeep Grand Cherokee in the southbound lane driven by Sean Walter Torongeau Jr., 30, of Hubbardston.
Miller said Cunningham returned to the northbound lane, and then re-entered the southbound lane, where her vehicle collided head-on into an Oldsmobile 88 driven by Jeffrey Lee Thelen, 55, of Fowler.
Thelen was transported to Grand Rapids Spectrum Butterworth Hospital by Aero-Med with serious but non-life threatening injuries, Miller said. Cunningham had what appeared to officials at the scene to be minor injuries and was transported to Ionia Sparrow Hospital. Torongeau told police he did not have injuries.
The condition of Thelen and Cunningham was not known Monday.
All vehicles were towed from the scene. Alcohol may be a factor in the accident, and he is awaiting lab results, Miller said.
The sheriff's office is continuing to investigate the incident.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama plans to ask Congress for about $50 billion in additional emergency aid for states hit by Superstorm Sandy, Democrats on Capitol Hill said Wednesday.
House Secretary Shaun Donovan told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee that the administration is still working on a request for a supplemental spending bill to provide the aid and expects to send it to Congress this week.
"We do not have a specific number," Donovan said.
The price tag is expected to be anywhere between $45 billion and $55 billion. Two Senate Democratic aides, speaking on condition of anonymity because the request is still being assembled, put the number in the neighborhood of $50 billion.
"The president isn't going to leave New York, New Jersey or the entire region to fight for itself," Donovan, who is coordinating the government's Sandy recovery efforts for Obama, told reporters after the hearing.
Donovan urged Congress to take action in "the next few weeks" on the administration's upcoming request.
On Tuesday, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Craig Fugate, said the government's disaster relief fund still has $4.8 billion, enough to pay for recovery efforts into early spring. So far the government has spent about $2 billion in the 11 states struck the late October storm, one of the worst ever in the Northeast.
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are together seeking about $83 billion in aid. Donovan described that figure as more of damage estimate, saying some of might be covered by private insurance and other already-funded government programs.
Given the recent budget talks and the strong pressures against new spending, Congress is not expected to approve large amounts of additional money all at once.
The storm devastated coastal communities from North Carolina to Maine, killing more than 120 people. New York and New Jersey were hit the hardest.
Obama can request up to $5.4 billion more without hitting a spending ceiling. Several Republicans have said that more than that should be matched by spending cuts in other federal programs.
Donovan said people who lost homes or businesses are waiting desperately for help. He said it would be a mistake for Congress to quickly approve the $5.4 billion as a "down payment" and defer until next year providing additional funding.
"A down payment simply means that these families, these communities are going to be waiting for months or longer to get on with their lives," he said.
Donovan said requiring spending cuts in other federal programs to cover the cost of additional disaster aid makes no sense. "We believe strongly that the country has to come together even in difficult times and stand behind places that have been devastated," he said.
Officials in the affected state expect the fight for more recovery money will last for months and probably require a series of spending bills. They also fear it will fade as a priority next year.
Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Robert Menendez, D-N.J., voiced disappointment in a joint statement.
"While $50 billion is a significant amount of money, it unfortunately does not meet all of New York and New Jersey's substantial needs," they said. "While we know there will be additional supplementals, the administration needs to come as close as possible to meeting our states' needs in the first request."

I've been thinking a bit lately about computer interfaces, and I feel like we're going to see a big change in the next 5-10 years, a shift probably as big as the advent of the GUI. And I think that Google is the company best prepared to deliver that future.
Let's imagine what the ideal interface would look like. Ideally, I would just have a computer respond immediately to my every thought. I would think "remind me to get milk on the way home" and the computer would just do it. I would think "make this figure graphic with a bunch of equally sized circles here, here and here" and the computer would just do it. This is obviously still a dream (although perhaps one that is less far off than we think). But the idea is that the computer just does what you want without you having to do a lot of work.
Contrast this to interfaces of yesterday and today. In the 80s and 90s, we had software that had thick instruction manuals and very much made us do all the hard work of trying to get our thoughts of what we were trying to accomplish, trying to remember all these weird key codes to try and get Word (or WordPerfect, hah!) to change some stupid font or something like that. Over time, interfaces have taken a huge step forward, probably because of some combination of better design and more powerful hardware. Nowadays, it's much less common to read the instructions: interfaces are much more "discoverable" and the usage of well-designed program (or app) will usually be fairly obvious. Apple is quite clearly the best at this model. Their apps (and apps in their ecosystem) really do require little to no instruction to use and typically do exactly what you think they will. And they are better in that regard than Google and definitely Microsoft. And don't even get me started on Adobe Illustrator.
But this is very much the interface of today. As computers are getting more powerful, I think there is a change underway towards interfaces that are even closer to the ideal of just think about it and it happens. To me, the best example is Google search. Google search has a seemingly magical ability to know what you're thinking about almost before you even think it. It suggests things that you want before you finish typing, it suggests things you didn't know you want but you do before you finish typing, and it does this on a personal basis and does it super fast. It doesn't care if you misspell or mistype or whatever. It just does what you want, at least for some set of things. It also responds to a variety of different types of input. I can type "weather" and my local weather pops up. If I type "weather boulder CO", it gives me the weather in Boulder. Same if I type "weather 80302". It doesn't care, it just knows. It's another step closer to the computer conforming to you rather than you conforming to the computer.
Apple is trying to make headway in this regard with Siri, and it's true that Siri came out before a similar option from Google. But the internet abounds with example of Google's new voice tool kicking Siri's butt:
One of the most telling moments in this video is when the narrator searches for "How tall is Michael Jordan" and Google shows up instantly while Siri takes 5-6 seconds. It's not about the timing, but the narrator says something like "Those seconds count, because if it takes that long, you might as well just Google it." To me, that's the difference. Google has a HUGE lead in these sort of search queries, probably insurmountable, and Apple is just nowhere close.
Searching for stuff about celebrities, etc., is one thing, but this has real practical consequences as well. Consider the Apple maps fiasco. Many have pointed out that the maps are inaccurate, and perhaps they are. I haven't really noticed anything like that, honestly, and I actually like the new app design and interface a lot. To me, the far bigger problem, however, is that it just doesn't have all that Google magic "I know what you mean" intelligence to it. If I search for "Skirkanich Hall" in Google maps, it knows exactly what I mean. Same thing yields a bunch of random crap in Apple maps. This sort of thing pervades the new Maps app, where you often have to type in the exact address instead of just saying what you mean. To me, that's a huge step back in usability and interface. It's making you conform to the program rather than having the program work for you.
The problem for Apple is that this Google magic is not just about good design (which Apple is rightly famous for). It's about making some real R&D progress in artificial intelligence. Apple certainly has the money to do it, and I think I read something about how they're increasing their R&D budget. But they're comically far behind Google in this regard. So I think the interface of tomorrow will belong to Google.

1978 Ford Bronco - Black StallionPosted in Features on October 21, 2013
The affectionately named Big Broncos were only made for the '78 and '79 model years on the heels of Ford's classic Early Bronco. Big Broncos have created a cult following of their own though, with V-8 engines, strong axles, and excellent suspension, but without the price tag associated with Early Broncos.
Kevin Koehn and his brothers took a Big Bronco and made it even bigger, with 1-ton axles, a stretched wheelbase, and huge 44-inch Pit Bull Rocker tires. The bigger body also provides plenty of room for Kevin and his whole family to get out and hit the trail, whether they are wheeling near their home in British Columbia or taking a road trip to Johnson Valley, where we caught up with him.

The thing that attracts me to XForms is not really the UI bit, but the model. I think this is where the key prospect for reusability lies. I work for a message standards body, and we currently maintain our own XForms like language, that companies in the industry use to build forms based applications. It makes a half-hearted attempt to separate the UI from the model, but fails. So our forms have to be authored entirely with a specific renderer in mind. My hope for XForms is that the model should become fully portable across implementations. My main niggle with XForms is that the binding/validation functionality seems to be there largely to compensate for lack of same in W3C XML Schema; which makes that bit of XForms into a schema language. We have ourselves recognised problems with the expressiveness of W3C XML Schema, and at the moment all the schemas we publish are supplemented by message implementation guidelines; prose documents which tell you about all the data dependencies and validation rules about which W3C XML Schema remain silent. Rather than inventing our own vocabulary to add to what W3C XML Schema already does, we are instead investigating the use of existing schema languages to achieve this. The most obvious candidates to fulfil this function are Relax NG and Schematron, especially as these have, or are about to receive official status from ISO. I do not know for certain, but I strongly suspect that the majority of what is currently prose will in the future be expressed in one or other of these sc! he! ma languages. The data dependencies and validation rules that an XForms application must be capable of enforcing are, at least for the industry in which I work, exactly those which an application generating XML instances without human intervention must enforce (if I am over-simplifying, I would be really grateful if someone would put me straight on this). The differences arise only at the implementation level, it seems. So my hope is that one bundle of schemas will form the basis of any application required to process/generate our messages. Which begs the question: should XForms be adding yet another language for expressing schema-like constraints on XML documents? Given that XForms is required to function without external schemas at all, then the obvious answer is yes. Naturally, I would be very happy if XForms, in addition to what it already does, provided me with a method for linking instances to a) more than one schema; b) expressed in more than one schema language. However, I am reconciled to the fact that, at some point in the not too distant future, I will be looking to provide mappings between the bits that XForms adds to validation and any equivalent functionality provided by non-W3C schema languages. All the best Mark Seaborne Origo Services Ltd Mark, You raise several interesting points relating to schema support in XForms. It seems to me that it would be very useful to have modularisation of schema (the generic term) support in XForms, rather than a "hard-wired" need for W3C XML Schema support. For example, allowing Relax NG to be used, might open up XForms to a range of mobile browsers at the limited functionality end which would have difficulty in supporting XForms because it has difficulty in implementing W3C XML Schema. At the opposite end of the spectrum, it might be useful to be able to plug in Schematron to apply rule-based business logic that W3C XML Schema, at least in version 1.0, can't handle. If XForms is to be universally accepted as a forms language which is generally useful then it seems to me that it should allow a developer to choose a schema language which meets a particular set of business needs, whether or not those happen to be expressible in W3C XML Schema. I guess W3C XML Schema, as applied in XForms, could be interpreted as locking a developer in to a proprietary schema language. Quite possibly these are questions we should have raised a long time ago but it nonetheless seems to me to be good design to allow components - including schema validation components - to be snapped in or out of an XForms design.

The bump in support for the Democrats' health care plans that resulted from President Obama's speech to Congress and associated media blitz is now history, as support for those plans is at a new low among voters:
Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That's down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% are opposed to the plan.
It's easiest to follow the trend graphically:
Just as bad for Democrats, if not worse, is the intensity gap: those who strongly oppose the Democrats' proposals outnumber those who strongly support them by nearly two to one. Currently, 46 percent of seniors are "strongly opposed" to the Democrats' plans. Most Democrats still favor some sort of health care reform, but independents have decisively lined up with Republicans in opposing the Democrats' proposals.
At this point, it seems unlikely that there is anything Democrats can do to turn public opinion around. Neither their expensive advertising campaign nor their risible attempt to paint opponents of government medicine as "racists" has succeeded. I assume they will pass something–anything!–within in the next six months or so, just so they can say they did. But it is doubtful that most Democrats will be willing to jam something that transparently means government-controlled medicine down the throats of an unwilling American electorate.

Impressive Renovations & Maintenance
Being a cut above the competition is no easy task. Many contractors claim to do things the right way; we go beyond merely "right".
Don't Just Make It Right, Make It Impressive
Our group of dedicated and talented people truly love doing renovations. We work hard to improve your living space, but beyond that, we strive to ensure that your project has an Impressive touch. We never take short cuts and never cut corners, and while we may not be the least expensive or the fastest renovators out there, if you want an Impressive job at a fair price, we're the company to hire.
A Contractor You can Trust
Impressive Renovations has been in operation since 2003, and has never had to advertise due to positive word of mouth about our company and our work. We have had many repeat customers over the years, and take great pride in the fact that our work is Impressive enough to have a customer call us first when they are ready to start their second or third home renovation project. Through collaboration, communication, dedication and expertise we help transform your vision of your living space into a reality.
Home owners are inundated with choices in the renovation market. Some contractors 'copy cat' other successful contractors with similar slogans, design ideas and practices. It is an overwhelming and often not easy choice for home owners to select, interview and decide between competitors because of the similarity (or complete uselessness) of some contractors.
Our audience is looking for something different. Something and someone that stands out from the crowd. Our audience knows the difference between crown molding and cornice; between hickory and oak; between porcelain and ceramic. Above all, they know the difference between impressive and acceptable.
Our customers know the value of work and products; they aren't afraid to pay for what they want. To them, their home truly is their comfort, and they want what they want and are willing to hold out for the right contractor to get it.
We need a brand identity that embodies our beliefs. We need an identity that goes beyond words, and conveys our brand as the premier home renovator of choice.
Simple and clean, timeless and universal. No architectural columns required. Colors from a modern palette, designs from a designer with a similar state of mind.

The following extract is taken from the 7 March 1942 Beccles and Bungay Newspaper:
The Methodist Church in Station Road was pulled down sometime during the early 1980s after the union of the Methodists and the Congregationalists, becoming the United Reformed Church. Now, sadly, there is private housing on this spot.
The Office of Verger is an ancient one and comes from the meaning 'He who carries the Virge before the procession'. The 'Verge' is the rod of office (Latin -

Drawing upon and extending Emile Durkheim's communicative theory of penality, Joshua Page shows how popular narratives—including racialized narratives—disseminated via mass media and employed by politicians to further their own political interests were key factors in a "legislative penal drama" whose purported happy ending was to deny Pell Grant funding to prisoners.[1] In this unfolding drama, we find villains and heroes. Chief among the villains are those criminals whose social identity is more or less equated with poor, black males—those already incarcerated, as well as those deemed "on their way" by virtue of their skin color and their residing in a socially vilified space (for example, a ghetto). Conversely, the heroes are hard-working, white middle-class families, otherwise known as deserving citizens. These two categories—the legitimate, deserving (white) citizen and the illegitimate, undeserving (black) criminal—are inextricably linked. To define one is to say what the other is not and vice versa.
As the drama plays out, the division between the two poles becomes increasingly rigid. The criminal is understood as being so utterly unlike the citizen that the former no longer deserves full citizenship or basic rights and liberties (even after serving his time). Given this dualistic framework, federal funding for the postsecondary education of inmates can only be seen as outrageous, an affront to the hardworking citizen struggling to send his son or daughter to college. Thus, an overly simplistic zero-sum game is pictured in which federal dollars granted to inmates for postsecondary education translates into dollars taken from qualified citizens on the other side of the prison walls. As Page observes, by framing Pell Grant funding in facile either/or terms and presenting the issue as battle between honorable, working class families and dishonorable, undeserving criminals, lawmakers not only "presented a clear-cut choice to their colleagues" but also obfuscated the social, political, penological, and economic consequences of denying Pell grants and thus funding for postsecondary correctional education (PSCE) to prisoners.[2]
Even though multiple studies have shown that PSCE significantly reduces recidivism and promotes carceral order, President Clinton eventually signed the Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (1994), "which, among other things, prohibited all prisoners from receiving Pell Grants."[3] In order to illustrate the role that both the media and elected officials played in the vilification of inmates, I highlight selections from Page's excellent study. Following Dr. James Gilligan's Erikson Lectures at Harvard University in 1991 in which he drew attention to the high success rate of PSCE in Massachusetts' prisons, namely, over a 25 year period, 100 percent of those who had earned a college degree while in prison successfully reintegrated back into society and were not re-incarcerated.[4] What should have been encouraging news was seen by certain public officials as a direct attack on hardworking middle-class families unable to afford a college education for their children. Republican Governor William Weld (MA) held a press conference in which he expressed a line of thought that would recur often in debates over PSCE. In brief, Weld's claim was that we must put an end to PSCE because if we fail to do so, those who cannot afford a college education will intentionally break the law in order to obtain a free college education in prison. On May 5, 1991 Weld was featured on a special segment of 60 Minutes, entitled "Prison U."[5] This media opportunity allowed Weld and those sharing his sentiments to promulgate an overly negative view of PSCE and inmates while simultaneously assuring white middle-class voters on whose side he and his colleagues stood.
Four months after "Prison U." aired on national television, Republican Senator Jesse Helms (NC) "introduced an amendment to an appropriations bill, which called for the denial of Pell Grants—the main source of funding for PSCE in the USA—to all state and federal prisoners."[6] The Senate passed the proposal with relative ease. Then after a series of modifications and back and forth legislative exchanges, Helms's amendment eventually became part of the Higher Education Act (1992). Two other representatives, Republican Thomas Coleman (MO) and Democrat Bart Gordon (TN) entered the picture in order to push Helms's proposal forward. The Coleman-Gordon measure had no trouble passing either (351–69); however, due to differences between the House and Senate versions of the legislation, the participants voted, agreeing that only those inmates "condemned to death or serving life sentences" would be denied Pell Grants.[7]
The following year, 1993, Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson (TX) took up the torch and advocated for the denial of Pell Grants for all prisoners. Hutchinson's Senate Amendment 1158 was passed and was then presented to the House for final approval.[8] Once again the media was utilized and played a key role in shaping and sorting the good, deserving students from the bad, undeserving prisoner students.[9] On April 19, 1994, NBC's Dateline aired a show entitled "Society's debt?" The show presented stories of hardworking students struggling to pay for college while simultaneously working long hours to cover their tuition costs. In addition to these accounts, crime victims voiced their outrage over "rewarding" criminals with a free college degree for committing horrible crimes such as murder. The show was a success, as it galvanized popular collective sentiments of particular (white) middle and upper class audiences. The division between "us" (the deserving) and "them" (the undeserving) was reinforced and publicly affirmed, allowing politicians across bipartisan boundaries to eventually pass the Gordon-Fields-Holden amendment denying Pell Grants to all convicted felons.[10]
[1] Joshua Page, "Eliminating the Enemy: the import of denying prisoners access to higher education in Clinton's America," Punishment & Society 6 (2004), pp. 357–378.
[2] Page, "Eliminating the Enemy," p. 369. Although in the Senate few raised their voices against the proposals presented between 1991–1993, resistance was offered in the House. For example, members of the Black Caucus presented six solid arguments for retaining Pell Grant funding for prisoners. Their objections to the amendments included the fact that educating prisoners reduces recidivism and is thus a sound economic investment. Likewise, educated prisoners will more easily integrate and contribute to society when released; consequently, educating prisoners helps to create a safer society (see, ibid., 366–68).

Sadly, reasonable counterproposals to the legislation by Democratic Representative Albert Wynn (MA) as well as "opposition from Attorney General Janet Reno, the Clinton Administration, the North American Association of Wardens and Superintendents, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the American Correctional Association, the Association of State Correctional Administrators, every major educational organization in the nation and numerous civil rights organization" fell on deaf ears (ibid., p. 359).

Residents Of 3 Atlantic County Towns OK To Return
Gov. Chris Christie is lifting some of his mandatory evacuation orders in Atlantic County.
The governor Thursday granted a county request to allow people back on the barrier island communities of Brigantine Beach, Margate City and Longport Borough.
Atlantic City and Ventnor remain off-limits at the request of municipal officials, who say public health and safety issues remain. Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson says Ventnor City is expereincing a "serious problem with their sewage."
"Their waste system has backed up and they're not positive where the source of the problem is."he says.
In addition to Atlantic City being under a boil water advisory, Levinson notes the signalization in the city and the electric has not been turned on in all places. He notes both Ventnor and Atlantic City's requests to stay under the travel ban came from city officials.
The towns released from the evacuation order will still have 6 p.m.- to-6 a.m. curfews until further notice.
Evacuation orders in other parts of the state remain in effect.

WEA issues plea to talk: Teachers share thoughts, experiences with board
Wapakoneta Education Association (WEA) members re-enforced their position on contract negotiations Saturday during a public forum with Wapakoneta City School Board of Education members.
Board members officially conducted two meetings, the first being the district's annual re-organizational meeting. The second meeting was used for discussing employment of personnel and negotiations, all discussed in executive session. However, the public comment section of each meeting highlighted the morning's talks.
WEA members, wearing buttons supporting their cause with phrases such as "I work here, I live here, I work here," and "I don't want to strike, but I will," made up all but a handful of attendees at the meeting of approximately 115 people.
WEA members reiterated the point that they feel the board is offering incomplete or misinformation to the public to support administrations side of the standoff.
WEA Crisis Chair and Wapakoneta Middle School teacher Todd Crow continued the plea for the school board to return to the negotiating table.
"We know collective bargaining works, even in these difficult economic times," Crow said. "WEA has worked hard to identify cost savings to the district, but bargaining requires mutual respect and sense of a shared mission, including shared sacrifices. We want to return our focus to what we do best, teaching the students of the Wapakoneta City Schools."
A retired teacher from the district also shared her thoughts on the negotiations.
"The main problem is that the public is getting just enough information to be outraged," Priscilla Elshire said.
Elshire discussed wording in the final contract offer made by the school board to the teachers. Many teachers fear that the wording in the contract eliminating step-increases over the length of the two-year contract could be dictated to mean that step increases were eliminated permanently.
"In other words, the steps are gone forever," Elshire said.
Elshire argued that the contract read like a mini-Senate Bill 5, something she said voters had rejected.
She also revealed her sentiments about Bill Pepple, the school district's representing attorney.
"I believe you are all reasonable men," Elshire said. "I don't believe the same about Mr. Pepple."
After her comment about Pepple, another woman who could not be identified left the meeting.
A Wapakoneta Middle School teacher said she came to the district thinking she could make a difference and felt that the district had given up on the teachers.
"I came to Wapakoneta not because I wanted a job…," the woman said. "I believed I could make a difference here. Why has the school board given up on the teachers. The greatest impact is going to be felt by our future teachers."
Wapakoneta High School teacher Carrie Becker felt that teachers are being painted negatively in the midst of the negotiations.
"There are people out there who believe people teach so they can get off in the summers…," Becker said. "I haven't met a teacher who is not consumed by her career choice. Common sense, courtesy and cooperation are losing the race. The WEA and the BOE should be working towards a common goal."
Amy Crow, whose husband is a Wapakoneta Middle School teacher in the district, said the negotiations are putting unneeded stress on the students.
She addressed the board with buttons of several students on the front of her shirt. She said she spoke with several of the students.
She also felt that athletics is being given a higher priority.
"The new turf on the football field got more coverage and support than the teachers," Crow said.
She said children have concerns about the school remaining open if the teachers strike. She shared one student who told her that she felt embarrassed to graduate from Wapakoneta High School because of the attention and another who feared being able to play sports if they had to go to another school.
Francene Slife, who has children that teach in the district, said board members need to get back to the negotiating table.
"All I hear is name calling," Slife said. "I want to see some reasoning here. Whatever the issues are …, let's just get together guys."
Others commented that the issue is quickly dividing the community and that documents recently made available online were full of discrepancy.
School Board President Willie Sammetinger acknowledged that it is a rocky period for the district but that the district would ultimately prevail.
"We appreciate your comments," Sammetinger told the large contingent. "We know this is a difficult time. Somehow we will get through it. The sun will still come up tomorrow like it has the last 3,000 years."
After the meeting, Sammetinger said he could not address the negotiations due to legal restraints, but school board members are hopeful of a resolution.
"At some point there will be a resolution," Sammetinger said. "At this point, I don't know what that is."
Sammetinger said that board members are hearing a lot from community members.
"There is a lot of misinformation out there," Sammetinger said. "A lot of 'he said she said,' however, the information we are getting has been overwhelmingly in support of the board. Don't budge seems to be the theme."
Sammetinger estimated that 90 to 95 percent of the comments coming in from the public are in support of the board's position.
The teacher's union gave their negotiating team the authority to issue a 10-day strike notice in December if they saw fit.
To date, no notice has yet been given to the board.
School administrators have acknowledged that they currently are putting a plan in place to hire substitutes to ensure classes continue should the union decide to strike.

It looks like TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington really is going to give the gadget business a shot with CrunchPad, his tablet PC startup.
And he's getting help.
We've heard -- but haven't been able to confirm -- that Arrington has recruited Keith Teare to join the effort.
Teare previously worked at Fotonauts, a photo startup, and is one of Arrington's business partners at TechCrunch. He was also CEO of Edgeio, the defunct online classified ad company he started with Arrington. We assume his title at CrunchPad will be CEO, but don't know. (If you do, let us know.) (Update: Techmeme's Gabe Rivera tweets that Teare denies being CrunchPad's CEO. He has not, as far as we know, denied involvement in the project.)
We've also heard from a source in the gadget industry that the CrunchPad team has been "hanging around at Intel, trying to get their help." That makes sense: The NYT reported earlier this month that the CrunchPad will run on an Intel Atom chip, the chip used to power netbook and mobile Internet devices ("MIDs").
Meanwhile, here's what a Silicon Valley bigwig familiar with the hardware business had to say when we asked about the CrunchPad:
"None of the people I've been able to reach... have heard anything specific about the TechCrunch netbook. That doesn't actually shock me. It'll be very interesting to see whether there are serious players who will undertake that now.
The current situation in netbooks is, they're struggling to find a use case besides the personal computer, downsized. I think the downsized personal computer is a real use case, but it's not one that's likely to engender a huge amount of innovation. It'll just create more devices that look like very tiny PCs.
The TechCrunch thing really is... he's looking for a different center of gravity on what the product can do. Whether any of the guys who manufacture stuff will be willing to do that for their own account, I don't know. An interesting question would be whether Michael Arrington can generate enough capital to do this on his account, which would be a very interesting thing."
So far, Arrington hasn't announced any investors, though angel investor Ron Conway told the San Francisco BusinessTimes earlier this month that he "wants to invest" in CrunchPad.
Arrington is planning to hold an event at the end of this month or the beginning of next month to make a "big announcement" about the CrunchPad, the NYT says. Earlier this month, the NYT reported that Arrington is closing in on acquiring Fusion Garage, a Singapore-based design team that's been TechCrunch's partner so far.

Swimming Classes and playground picsPosted by Holy Cross Anglican School at 6:59 PM
Holy Cross Volunteers Offer Swimming Classes
Volunteers to Holy Cross Anglican School from St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Pacific Palisades, California taught swimming classes the week of July 20 - 24. Almost 50 Island children participated in this program and learned vital water survival skills. The group stayed at the Tides and the management there graciously offered their pool and dock for swimming lessons. Classes were held each morning from 9am until 11:30 with a mid-morning snack served by the volunteers.
Saturday morning was the culmination of a week of fun and learning as the First Annual Swim Meet was held. Prizes were awarded and all participants received new bathing suits and delicious ice cream cones from Manelly's.
In the afternoons the team came to Holy Cross and helped ready the school for reopening (August 31). Major projects included constructing a deck around the upper division classrooms, erecting a playground slide and lots of painting.

Anil Kumble: There's no one who can replace Dravid
Former India captain Anil Kumble reckons that Virat Kohli has the "right game" to fit in at the crucial No 3 slot in the Test squad even though it will be impossible for anyone to step into Rahul Dravid's shoes.
"I have followed Virat closely since his India Under-19 days and he has matured a lot. I am impressed in the manner he has improved in the past one year in terms of game, discipline and overall fitness.
"He has quickly adapted to the rigours of international cricket, and for a 23-year-old to do that is phenomenal. He has a Test hundred in Australia and I believe he has the right game to fit in at No 3," he said.
"However, there is no one who can replace Rahul Dravid. He has been an achiever for the past 16 years and it's certainly not easy to score 23,000 international runs," he added.

Kumble still embarrassed about Tendulkar mix-ups
Kumble paid glowing tributes to Sachin Tendulkar for achieving the historic feat of scoring 100 international centuries, saying he could quickly adapt to different conditions which is the hallmark of a great player.
"I have been witness to 80 of those 100 hundreds and, at least on 20 occasions, I have been at the other end. I would invariably arrive when he would be in his 80s and the second new-ball would be due. My job on each and every occasion was to ensure that I don't give my wicket easily which would help him to get his hundred."
Tendulkar, after completing his 100th ton, recollected a funny incident during his highest Test knock of 248 in Bangladesh, involving him and Kumble when both had some horrible mix-ups.
"Don't talk about it. I still get embarrassed when I watch the footages of that match," he smiled.
Image: Sachin Tendulkar and Anil Kumble
'The brilliant thing about Sachin is his adaptability'
For Kumble, one memorable incident was Tendulkar's maiden Test hundred at Old Trafford in 1990, which was incidentally his debut Test.
"I was made to stand at the Old Trafford balcony for more than three hours as it was Kiran More's diktat. Since Sachin was scoring runs and we were playing to save the Test, everyone got superstitious. It was difficult standing there for two hours, but I was instructed by Kiran to stand at the same position for hours. Only during tea break did I get a chance to sit," he said.
"Obviously, the 242 at Sydney was another Herculean effort where he didn't hit a single cover drive till he reached 200. The 100 against Pakistan and the 155 against Australia (both in Chennai) where Shane Warne was bowling from round the wicket were some of the knocks I would never forget.
"The brilliant thing about Sachin is his adaptability. He could quickly adapt in any given condition. That's the hallmark of a great player," Kumble said.
Image: Sachin Tendulkar
Kumble bats for Test cricket
For someone, who has close to 1000 international wickets, (619 Tests and 337 in ODIs) the longer version still remains priority.
"If you are able to consistently perform in longer version, that performance would help you do well in T20s and One-days, but it's never the other way round," he explained.
Talking about young leggie Rahul Sharma, who has travelled with the Indian team for last six months, and played only five games (3 ODIs and 2 T20s), Kumble said it was a tricky situation.
"It's again the 'chicken and egg' theory. You need to bowl lot of overs in matches, but, again, you need to pick your best squad. Ideally, it would have been great had Rahul played a few first-class matches, but problem nowadays is lack of tour games.
"When I went to England in 1990, we had nine first-class tour games apart from two ODIs and three Tests. Everyone got a chance, which is not the case now.
"Thankfully, the players during international matches at home are released to play Ranji Trophy. That's how likes of Ajinkya (Rahane) and Rohit (Sharma) got to play for Mumbai."
Image: Anil Kumble
NCA has done a lot of good for Indian cricket
Kumble was reluctant to talk about his brief one-year stint as chairman of the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. He resigned from the post last December.
"I don't want to talk about that phase. I wanted to do a few things but we were not on the same page. But NCA has done a lot of good for Indian cricket. It's because of NCA that we have brilliant fielders like Virat, Suresh Raina, Manoj Tiwary, to name a few."
The BCCI wants Ranji Trophy matches to be played at neutral venues, but Kumble for one wants cricket to be shifted to smaller centres which will produce good competitive wickets.
"Recently during a one-day match between Goa and Karnataka, I entered the stadium at around 11:30 and saw 55 for two on the board. I thought the match must have started late and then realised it was over. Just because it was a bit more challenging surface, batsmen couldn't cope with it.
"Now if you produce a turning track and match is over within two days, people raise questions. But what about the batsmen's ability to face quality spinners on turning tracks," he concluded.

EDMONTON, AB – Mark Arcobello '10, wearing his collegiate jersey No. 26 as a rookie with the Edmonton Oilers, is making history in the big league.
The former Yale forward began by making club history when he assisted on Taylor Hall's two goals, eight seconds apart. It was the fastest consecutive goals by an Oiler since Wayne Gretzky had a nine-second outburst during the team's dynasty years.
The ex-Bulldog star is coming off a 2012-13 season in which he was the American Hockey League's all-star game MVP and was among the league's top scorers. Arcobello got one game in an Edmonton uniform last winter, spending the majority of the year in Oklahoma City.
The consecutive goals record wasn't the only news for Arcobello during the new NHL campaign. After 10 games, the Milford, Conn., native had accumulated a league-high 10 assists, which also made him the league's rookie points leader by the middle of this past week.
Only two rookies – Sydney Crosby and Patrick Kane - have had 10 assists in their first 10 games in the last 20 years.
Here's what the leaderboard looked like after the Oct. 22 games.
Most Assists:
10 – Mark Arcobello.
10 – Sydney Crosby.
10 – Henrik Sedin.
10 – Joe Thornton.
Rookie Scoring Leaders:
10 – Mark Arcobello.
10 – Tomas Hertl.
9 – Sean Monahan.
7 – Alexsander Barkov.
7 – Nathan MacKinnon

A group of residents and Ferrisburgh Central School officials is working to create both a year-round town recreation center on school property and a bicycle and pedestrian path that could link neighborhoods to the school.
Tim Bicknell, an FCS board member and a physician with a practice in Vergennes, has helped lead an effort that has included three meetings to discuss design and funding ideas.

GOSHEN/BRANDON — After a couple of weeks on the job as the new executive director of the Moosalamoo Association, Brandon resident Jenny Nixon Carter is getting her hands around the organization's expanding mission, while also getting a handle on the national recreation area's busy summer activities.
VERGENNES — The annual Memorial Day parade in Vergennes is a tradition that honors the men and women of the armed forces who died overseas in service of America.
This year the parade marshal will be longtime resident and World War II veteran Richard Poquette.
Like many of his generation, the Vermont native was swept up by the monumental events that rocked the globe. He answered the call and served his country in some of the biggest battles in both the European and Pacific theaters of World War II.
BRISTOL — The Middlebury Union High School baseball team on Tuesday picked up both a rare win over rival Mount Abraham and a boost heading into next week's Division II playoffs, 8-7 in Bristol.
The Tigers are just 3-11. But junior co-captain Marshall Hastings — a three-year starter at second base who drilled a two-run double, scored three runs and made a key defensive play — made a couple points about that record.
Some proposed rule changes intended to improve sports can be charitably dismissed as well-meaning, but misguided.
Periodically, for example, someone suggest raising the height of the basketball hoop to decrease the advantage enjoyed by taller players. Most recently, several other commenters on Charlie Pierce's boston.com blog had to disabuse an otherwise intelligent fellow poster of that notion.
When it comes to stress, I am really moving up in the world. More than 20 years ago I was working for a radiology lab in California as a medical records technician. One day I happened to catch a news report that listed the least stressful jobs in America and medical records technician came in a close second to musical instrument repairman. When I heard the news I felt my blood pressure drop 25 points and watched the life line on the palm of my hand grow by an inch and a half. Kicking stress to the curb had me feeling groovy.
The decision by a town committee, after 17 months of study, to renovate and rebuild the two existing fire stations in Middlebury and East Middlebury has ample merits and deserves the town's initial support, along with go-ahead plans to firm up any details the public will need to make an informed vote at town meeting next March.
In local business news, the discovery of a contaminant underneath the foundation of the Conner Homes building on Route 7 south in Middlebury, and the consequent and reasonable decision by Middlebury-based Green Mountain Beverage to call off the deal to purchase the building, poses new challenges for both enterprises — and the town.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Halloween! I'm glad my birthday is in the same month and not too far away from the Big Candy Day that I have often had Halloween birthday parties. Usually I trick my house out with some really cool decorations, do my pumpkin carving, and play my cd with Monster Mash, purple people eater, and such. This year, I got my light-up signs in the my windows and my string of ghost lights up, though not in their usual place on my mantle,and the girls and I did get a few pumpkins carved, but that was all the trickin' out I did this year. And I think that's why I've been slogging through this month. I'm bummed….
This was confirmed by my friend, Momma Lime. She said the same thing happened to her last year when she didn't put up her Halloween decorations. And the 31st was a bust last year. The neighborhood gathering was ill-planned and uncoordinated, which for me, who had gotten my stuff up early and had been pumped all month waiting for the day, was a big disappointment(the kids didn't care, but I did). So, this year, it's me, the Debbie Downer of Halloween Decor. I think it's because Halloween kicks off the decorating season in our house, where we regularly change our decorations from October through the new year. And we love to decorate; Halloween, Thanksgiving, and especially Christmas. Our kick-off was more like a stubbed toe this go around. To top off my sluggishness, it snowed today. Truly an Eeyore moment for me.
So, thank you Momma Lime for bringing me into the jack-o-lantern light about why I have to start the holiday season off right with my Halloween decorations up, to light the way into the new year. Getting my fall decorations and spirits ready to go for November and getting giddy about what December brings.

The Woot Ads: A Step in the Right Direction
Congrats to Google For Allowing the Woot Ads
It's a hot topic: The Woot Suicide Ads. The ads sprung up in midst of the financial crisis (economic meltdown) and there are plenty of people up in arms about it. Why? Believe it or not, the Woot ads are a step in the right direction, the place where PPC ads need to be headed. Check out the story that's made it to Sphinn's Hot Topics: "Google Allows Ads Mocking Suicide"
I hate to qualify answers, but in light of looking like a complete and utter heartless monster, this is a case where I must. Do I find the ads distasteful? Yes. Do I think it's a good thing to "joke" about suicide and encourage it? No. However, the ad, in itself, is brilliant. The marketing behind it is brilliant. And, before you start condemning Google (and Woot), think about what it means for PPC advertisers.
Why The Ads Work and Why Need More Like Them
1) Ads That Are More Like Ads
If you do any amount of searching on search engines, then you've read standard PPC ads; for example,
Exactly. The same robotic tone, with the same robotic savings, deals, and calls to action. It's not that these ads don't work; people still click on them. It's that they aren't conversational. There's nothing that sets them apart, nothing that makes them unique. They all sound the same, and while the text indicates they offer different deals, they aren't offering different deals.
The Woot Ads were unique, were conversational, and had a subconscious, subliminal language that was speaking to users on level that the "traditional" PPC ads cannot and never will achieve. It gave the ad an edge over other ads. More importantly, it give Woot an edge over other competitors vying for the same marketplace and consumer. Finally, it was an ad that actually functioned like an "ad".
2) Allowing Google To Become Big Brother
I've been in the search marketing game for a few years now. And the love/hate relationship with Google is constant among us. What the Smackdown! blog is doing is empowering Google to limit the creative freedom of advertisers. When you boil it down, that's exactly what it comes to.
While the entire theme of this blog is based solely on what Google is doing, and disecting and criticizing it, this post has done completely the opposite. Here's what it looks like when you search for "goog" today:
Business is about competitive edge and occupying space within a marketplace. If all our PPC ads look alike, sound alike, and talk alike, then there's no advantage. Accordingly, (follow me on this) you feed into the Google money machine: you allow them to curb creative language that can lead to advantage within the marketplace, which in turn, sets the trap for Google to base ads displayed solely on bidding wars and their phantom AdWords algorithm. They are going to do this anyway, but now you've given Google consent that this is how you want ads to look and sound.
I, for one, applaud Woot for having the courage and the creativity to break the mold. It was genius. Like it or not, it was. And, now that people have made a big enough stink about it, you've allowed Google to become hyper-vigilant against anything that doesn't fit the traditional standard. I thought Google had finally loosened up the reigns a bit. My mistake. It was probably just a bunch of disgruntled employees who watched their friends get laid off because Google Stock fell through the floor.
