Science Scoops: Order! Order!
by Stephen James O'Meara
If you thought finding several new species of insects was exciting, get this: Danish and German scientists have recently discovered a new order of insects! In biology, an order is a primary classification of related animals, which is then subdivided into genera and species. Several new insect species are found each year. But the discovery of a new insect order is not so common. In fact, it's the first time such a discovery has been made since 1915!
The first member of this new insect order was discovered by an international team of entomologists (scientists who study insects) that went to the Brandberg Mountains in Namibia, Africa. The new insect, which looks something like a cross between a stick insect and a praying mantis, was immediately recognized by one team member, Oliver Zompro (Max-Planck-Institute in Plön, Germany). You see, the previous year, Zompro had discovered this same life form in a 45-million-year-old piece of amber that was in a collection at the British Natural History Museum in London. So the newly discovered insect order has been around for at least 45 million years!
The new insect has jaws with three small teeth and long antennae. The scientists say that based on the insect's stomach contents, it appears to be a carnivore (flesh-eater). Indeed, rows of spines on its front and middle legs indicate that the animal held on to its prey with its legs, as some insect-eating locusts do. It has been given the provisional name "Gladiator." This new order, christened "Mantophasmatodea," brings the number of insect orders known throughout the world to 31.
- order: A group of animals or plants that are similar in many ways. Rodents such as rats, mice, hamsters, and beavers belong to the same order.
- Taxonomists divide these kingdoms into subcategories called phylums or divisions. A phylum distinguishes amongst animals with different evolutionary traits. A division distinguishes amongst plants with different evolutionary traits. Taxonomists then divide the phylums and divisions into classes. Then taxonomists divide the classes into orders. Organisms in the same order share certain characteristics. An order is divided into families. Families are divided into genuses, and finally, genuses are divided into species.
Print a copy of the chart titled: Classification (PDF file). This chart is separated into two columns. In the first column, write the word "Human" at the top. Using an encyclopedia, look up the information for the biological classification of a human. In the second column, write the word "Eastern Lowland Gorilla" at the top. Using an encyclopedia, look up the information for the biological classification of a gorilla.
[anno: Chart for human should contain the following information:
Kingdom: Animal; Phylum: Chordata; Class: Mammal; Order: Primate; Family: Hominid; Genus: Homo; Species: Homo sapien.
Chart for Eastern lowland gorilla should contain the following information:
Kingdom: Animal; Phylum: Chordata; Class: Mammal; Order: Primate; Family: Hominid; Genus: Gorilla; Species: Gorilla gorilla.
Note: students may use scientific or common classification names.]
- Study your chart after you have completed it. What conclusions might you draw from the information that you found?
[anno: Answers will vary but could include the conclusion that humans and gorillas are closely related.]

newbie: changing permissions with chmod and octal date: 1.10.98 original 8.3.99 updated What: 'chmod' is a utility to set the mode (chmod = CHange MODe) of a file or directory. The 'mode' dictates who on the system may access a file. The mode is also known as 'permissions'. literal syntax: "Set the mode of that file to..." "What are the permissions on that directory?" Why: Many people don't fully understand the importance of file permissions on a Unix system. Furthermore, using Alpha notation may cause incorrect permissions because you are not fully qualifying the permissions of the file, only adding or removing permissions. Over time, or via the use of scripts and utilities, these permissions can be set to undesirable modes that may not be suitable for a secure environment. Info: CHMOD(1V) is used to change the permissions (mode) of a file or files. Only the owner of a file (or the super-user) may change its mode. Lets start out by looking at a common directory entry in unix. We are going to use "ls -alF" to obtain the list. (More on 'ls' in a later file). -rw-r--r-- 1 jericho 2520 Jan 9 09:46 .plan lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 9 Oct 1 19:42 .rhosts -> /dev/null drwx------ 4 jericho 4096 Jan 9 10:29 bin/ -rw------- 1 jericho 1349 Jan 6 14:49 header.file.2 Above are 4 different kinds of entries we may find. The first part of each entry is the file permissions associated with that file. It determines who can read, write, or execute a file. There are 10 flags for each file, as listed below: --------------------------------------------------- | ft | ur | uw | ux | gr | gw | gx | or | ow | ox | --------------------------------------------------- ft - file type. This tells you what kind of 'file' you are listing. Take into account the word 'file' is vague, and does not necessarily mean "text file" necessarily. Unix treats everything as a file (directories, links, etc), and denotes these special permissions to differentiate one from another. Common file types: - regular file d directory l symbolic link c character device b block device s socket device Character devices, Block devices, and Sockets are frequently found in the /dev directory, and will be talked about later. The kinds of files we will look at for now are regular files, directories, and take a brief look at symbolic links. For the other nine entries, you have different combinations of the following: u = user r = read g = group w = write o = other x = execute Permissions control access for a file or directory by breaking it down into three access categories: user, group, and other. User: Controlls access for the owner of the file. Group: Controlls access for all members of the group that owns the file. Other: Controlls access to anyone else on the system, regardless of them owning the file or being in a group that owns a file. In the syntax above, read means the ability to read the contents of that file, write means modifying, removing, or appending to a file, and execute means 'running' the file (or if it is a directory, the ability to enter it). When using chmod to set or change file permissions, there are two notations that are recognized: Alpha: Use of the + and - operators to change one of the three types of access for each category. r, w, and x which represent read, write and execute respectively. Alpha notation is also known as 'Symbolic Mode'. For example: chmod u+rw,g+r,o+r filename Octal: Use of a three or four digit octal number to change the absolute permissions of a file. Using octal notation sets all access permissions each time it is used. Octal notation is also known as 'Absolute Mode'. For example: chmod 644 filename Changing the permissions: (we will get to the 'why' after this) Many people that are new to unix will use Alpha representation to change the permission of a file. Lets say we have a file called 'readme' with permissions of -rw-r--r-- .. that means I (user) can read/write, while people in the group or other can only read it. Using alpha notation, I may do the following: chmod go-r readme What we are saying here is to remove the 'read' ability for 'group' and 'other'. That changes the file from -rw-r--r-- to -rw------- . If we were to do: chmod go+rx readme We are now adding read and execute privilege for group and other. So now it would go from -rw------- to -rw-r-xr-x . This would make it so even though we own the file, we can't execute it ourselves. This little oversight would cause us to have to chmod again. While this doesn't sound particularly bad, consider it from a security standpoint. If an admin uses alpha notation, it would be easy for him to overlook permissions that could lead to problems. Because of the chance for accidentally setting incorrect permissions, it is a good idea to learn and use Octal Notation whenever possible. Why is it called "absolute mode"? Because every time you set the mode of the file, you are fully qualifying the permissions. Instead of adding or removing permissions, you are giving the file its new permissions, as if from scratch. Instead of the r/w/x and u/g/o method described above, we use numbers and placement to determine the new mode. Below are the basic modes and their Octal representation. While this looks like a lot to remember, I will show how it is actually easier and more efficient than Alpha. 400 Read by owner. 200 Write by owner. 100 Execute (search in directory) by owner. 040 Read by group. 020 Write by group. 010 Execute (search) by group. 004 Read by others. 002 Write by others. 001 Execute (search) by others. 4000 Set user ID on execution. (SUID) 2000 Set group ID on execution (SGID) 1000 Sticky bit, (see chmod(2V) for more information). We will go into SUID, SGID, and sticky bit in the future. As a user, you will have little need to set those yourself. As an admin, they will become very important to functionality and security of your system. Whenever you set the mode with Octal notation, you will always use either three or four numbers to do so. The only time you use four is if you are dealing with a special mode like SUID or SGID. In all other cases, you are using three. The first number deals with r/w/x privs for the user, the second number deals with r/w/x privs for group, and the third for other. Look at the above list and see how they form together with the examples below: 444 = -r--r--r-- (readable to everyone) 110 = ---x--x--- (executable to user/group) 421 = -r---w---x (read/user, write/group, execute/other) Now, we need to look at setting multiple flags for a single category. What if we want the user to read AND write? If you notice the numbers used, you may have noticed they skipped the use of 3. Why? Because any combination of adding 1, 2, and 4 will create new numbers with no duplication. 1+2 = 3, 1+4 = 5, 2+4 = 6, and 1+2+4 = 7. By adding the base 1/2/4 numbers, we obtain the numeric representation for assigning multiple attributes to a file. For example, if we want read and write, we add 4 and 2, and apply that. 644 = -rw-r--r-- (read/write user, read group/other) If we want to give read/write/exec to user, we add up 4, 2, and 1 and apply that. 755 = -rwxr-xr-x (r/w/x user, r/x for group and other) Other: There are other options with chmod that are nice to know. Take into account that not all versions of chmod will conform to the options I will describe. You can "man chmod" on your system to see what those options are. -f Force. chmod will not complain if it fails to change the mode of a file. -R Recursively descend through directory arguments, set- ting the mode for each file as described above. When symbolic links are encountered, their mode is not changed and they are not traversed. (remember, unix is case sensitive. 'R' is not 'r') If you use wildcards, most implementations of chmod will not set permissions of files that contain a . at the beginning of the file name if you use wildcards. For instance, 'chmod 755 *' would set the permissions on all the files in the current directory to -rwxr-xr-x EXCEPT files containing a . at the beginning of their name. In order to wildcard chmod these files, you would have to 'chmod 755 .*' So when is it good to know alpha notation? You may not know the current permissions when writing a script that calls chmod to perform a mode change. This would make it awkward to reset the permissions via Octal notation. Making chmod add or remove permissions would then be more efficient. For example: chmod u-x readme Remove execute permissions for user. chmod go-rwx readme Remove all right for group/other. What does this have to do with system penetration? First and foremost, every unix user and security professional should know how to use the system they are attacking or securing. You can not effectively test or secure a unix box if you don't know how to use it as a standard user would. Second, when you compile programs or run scripts on a system, you have to be able to permission them in order to run them. Carole Fennelly writes in reminding us that there are a few times where alpha notation may be the better option. There is an option to chmod (-R) that will traverse a directory structure to change the modes of all files and subdirectories in the tree. For example, if you are in the directory /usr/local/httpd, you could enter: chmod -R 755 * Which will go through and make every file and subdirectory under /usr/local/httpd "rwxr-xr-x" . This may not be what you want. If you only want to make sure that there is no file or directory that is world writable and you want to preserve the other permissions, it is better to use the command: chmod -R o-w * For large directory trees, it is unlikely that every file and subdirectory should have the same permission and the octal (absolute) value could cause problems. Hopefully this covers basic use of 'chmod', and helps you use it more effectively. Additional Reference: 'man chmod' O'Reilly Unix in a Nutshell (ISBN 1-56592-001-5 $9.99)

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler announced today that the City has received a proposal for the development of City-owned land on the south side of "Q" Street between 13th and 14th streets. The proposal includes retail and residential space as well as public parking.
The City is now accepting additional proposals from other developers interested in the site, known as the Catalyst One site, in the Downtown Master Plan. The deadline for submission is noon Friday, October 30. Further details of the initial proposal will not be released until after the deadline.
This site is adjacent to the proposed Civic Plaza at 13th and "P" streets, and we are looking for a high-quality proposal that will strengthen our downtown core," Mayor Beutler said. "We are excited about moving forward on the Catalyst One site, and are pleased to have an exciting option to consider.
Rather than issue a Request For Proposals (RFP) for a specific site, the City issued an Invitation for Redevelopment Proposals (IFRP) in February for the entire downtown area. City Urban Development Director Dave Landis said this new approach allows developers to submit proposals for any site in downtown. He said the process adds more flexibility and timeliness to project consideration and encourages the private sector to initiate creative proposals.
Those wanting more information can contact Dallas McGee in Urban Development at 441-7857.

Saturday was another exact date in U.S. military history, one with mixed feelings.
Less than five years since the end of The Big War, also known as World War II, America and many other nations were at war again.
On June 25, 1950, North Korean troops came pouring across the 38th parallel dividing line between North and South Korea. Only a token American force was stationed in Korea, as no attack was expected.
Wrong again.
The few troops in the tiny country were quickly pushed back down the peninsula with seemingly no way to stem the communists' advance.
America had occupation forces in Japan, and the decision was made to immediately send a task force, approximately battalion-sized, to Korea to try to at least slow down the attackers. One U.S. general in Korea was quoted as saying the North Koreans would "turn around and go back when they found out who was fighting."
Not exactly.
A 540-man force was put together and named Task Force Smith, after the infantry lieutenant colonel who commanded it. No less than the top U.S. commander in the Far East, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, called it "an arrogant display of strength."
The first engagement was around 8:30 a.m. July 5 when 33 North Korean tanks, Soviet WWII T-34s, attacked the hastily dug in task force. The Americans lacked antitank mines, and the 2.36-inch rocket launchers failed to penetrate the tanks' armor.
But, somehow task force members managed to knock out four tanks, kill 42 men, and wound 85.
Heavy rain precluded air support, communications broke down, and the task force was far too small to put up any sort of defense against the attackers. Within a few hours, it suffered 150 casualties and lost all equipment except some individual small arms weapons.
Another casualty was American morale, as word quickly spread to other units in the 24th Infantry Division that was moving into positions below Osan.
After much study, there are two ways to view Task Force Smith.
One, by an officer who was not there, former Command and General Staff College deputy commandant and later chief of staff of the Army, Gen. (Ret.) Gordon Sullivan, during a speech to students, said "No more Task Force Smiths."
His point was the U.S. Army should maintain fighting forces at a higher level, and equip them with adequate weapons to defeat any potential adversary.
Another view was from one who was in Task Force Smith, former Leavenworth resident Lt. Col. (Ret.) Duane Scott, a field artillery officer who was a WWII veteran and a lieutenant in Task Force Smith.
In a talk to CGSC students, he said task force members were proud of their stop-gap action and did the best they could with what they had. Even with inadequate weapons, he said troops still did yeoman work in slowing the North Korean onslaught.
Scott lived in retirement in Leavenworth County until his death several years ago.
But, a bad start to a surprise war was only the beginning.
The Korean War became the first one America lost. Technically, one can argue we haven't lost yet, as a 1953 armistice is still in effect. We and other nations still have troops in Korea, but since the armistice is now 61 years old, my take is we stand scant chance of having the North Koreans and their ally China now surrender to the United Nations.
To end on a neat touch of historical trivia, I remind readers the U.S. Army has not won a war in which pack mules were not used. Iraq wasn't a war, nor is what has been happening in Afghanistan, but it may not be a good sign that pack mules were not used in either place.
Just a point to ponder.

June 15, 2012
June 15, 2012 (Fullerton, CA) - The Cal South Board of Directors has announced that the organization will provide over $150,000 in subsidies and entry fee payments to its Affiliate Member teams, youth and adult, advancing to regional competition series this summer.
At their monthly meeting on May 5, 2012, the Board of Directors discussed the distribution of monetary support to teams advancing through the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series, the US Youth Soccer Presidents Cup Series and the United States Adult Soccer Association National Cups Series.
A motion was passed to provide a subsidy of $3,500 to each team attending the 2012 US Youth Far West Regional Championships in Phoenix, Arizona (June 18-24) and the 2012 US Youth Soccer Region IV Presidents Cup in Arvada, Colorado (June 13-17), which gained their spots as either State Cup or National Cup champions or were chosen as wild cards prior to the date of the board meeting. The amount of $3,500 was also allocated to the three adult teams from Cal South which attended the USASA Region IV National Cups Finals and the first round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
Teams attending the Far West Regionals due to their success in the Far West Regional League will receive $1,000 per team. The Board of Directors also agreed that Cal South would cover the payment of the $500 per team entry fees for all of its teams attending the regional and national championships.
Overall, 37 Cal South youth and adult teams will receive checks for $3,500 and 11 youth teams will receive $1,000 each for attending the regional events, which does not include the $500 per team entry fees paid by Cal South directly to US Youth Soccer.
"Our teams have worked hard to advance to this year's regional competitions. We are proud of their accomplishment and pleased to support their continuing effort toward a National Championship," said Cal South President Johnnie Garza. "On behalf of our Board of Directors and our entire Cal South family, we wish them continued success in their pursuit of excellence in Denver and Phoenix."
The annual Cal South team subsidies are discretionary in nature and based upon the success and affiliate member support of the State and National Cup events. Teams that successfully advance from the regional events will earn their spot at the 2012 US Youth Soccer National Championships in Rock Hill, South Carolina, the 2012 US Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup in Sacramento, California, and the USASA National Cup Finals in Chicago, Illinois. All three championship events will be held in July.

Of all the ways to usher in the season, the Holiday Pops ranks among the most graceful and elegant. That notion coursed through Wednesday's opening night at Symphony Hall, an evening that at its heart was a communal celebration, even ending in a sing-a-long far more lighthearted than most performances at the hallowed venue.
Conductor Keith Lockhart, looking festive with a splash of red from his vest and bow tie peeking out from his black tuxedo, led the Boston Pops Orchestra and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus in a program that struck a tasteful balance between the sacred and the secular.
Reverent and stately, "Hallelujah Chorus" and "Waltz of the Flowers" from The Nutcracker prefaced a rendition of "The Christmas Song" that was as warm and glowing as those chestnuts roasting on an open fire.
The program put a premium on diverse moods, from the swing and sway of "Holly Jolly Jingle," which opened the second half, to the jazzy overtones of "Frosty All the Way!" Baritone James Demler guided a somber "Fantasia on Christmas Carols." He later got to loosen up a bit on the comical "Christmas Is a Comin'."
"Songs Mama Taught Me," a salute to Hanukkah, was a nice addition to the repertoire.
Boston Bruins forward Shawn Thornton was the guest narrator for " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas."
"Don't make him mad, ladies and gentlemen," Lockhart joked after noting Thornton's reputation as a tough guy. Thornton kept perfect pace with the orchestra.
The Pops' take on "The 12 Days of Christmas" was remarkable. A juggernaut of disparate influences, it spliced the original melody with snippets of everything from "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Why the name Soho? Soho is a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York. By the mid-20th century, artists moved into this area to have large spaces in which they could both live and work, in what were called loft spaces. In 1968 artists and activists were forming an organization to legalize their living in a manufacturing zone. Seeking to identify their group geographically, they consulted a city Planning Commission map that described the area as "South of the Houstan", "Houstan being Houston Street. This was shortened to "SoHo". Many of these buildings, especially the upper stories which became known as lofts, attracted artists who valued the spaces for their large areas and large windows admitting natural light. SoHo boasts the greatest collection of cast-iron architecture in the world. The strength of the cast iron permitted high ceilings with sleek supporting columns, and interiors became more expansive and functional. The Soho of today in Manhattan is noted for its galleries, restaurants and artists' lofts,
OCC has adopted the Soho concept of living in our developments which consist of modern, trendy and sophisticated living spaces. Light and optimization of space, as well as luxurious finishes have become our signature.

DENVER—Gov. John Hickenlooper has decided not to convene a special session of the state Legislature to deal with issues involving Colorado floods.
Some issues of concern included laws to address looting and potential fraud, but the governor has decided those issues do not require lawmakers to come back to work before the regular session convenes in January.
The governor plans to be in Evans, Milliken, Loveland and Commerce City on Thursday to meet with elected officials, community and business leaders to discuss flood damage.
The damage to state highways alone is about $430 million, officials said, with 200 miles of roads and 50 bridges destroyed.
The flooding also caused eight confirmed deaths and damaged or destroyed nearly 1,800 homes.

Hello everyone,
So it's been almost 6weeks since Winston's decompression surgery for CM & SM and he's doing ok. Surgery wounds have healed nicely. He had a recheck with the regular neurologist yesterday & I explained to her that he's still scratching his head & rubbing his head in the floor periodically. She did say its not even 6 weeks & it is going to take a long time for him to feel a lot better. She also said she would like to try using Amantadine on him. It's a anti flu drug that they've used with some success. She is going to consult the neurosurgeon & let me know if we can start that. He's still on 100mg of Gabapentin 3X a day along with Tramadol 3X a day & omeprazole once a day. I was wondering if any of you have used Amantadine?

MICHIGAN -- A Mid-Michigan dog is in the running for a very unique award, given to the pet with America's weirdest insurance claim at the Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI) company.
VPI reviews more than a million claims nationwide for the VPI Hambone Award, and then narrows the field to just 12 nominees - all with quirky claims that ended well.
The Hambone Award is named in honor of a VPI-insured dog that got stuck in a refrigerator, and ate an entire Thanksgiving ham while waiting for someone to find him. The dog was eventually found, with a licked-clean ham bone and a mild case of hypothermia.
This year's winner could be a miniature dachshund from Charlotte, who miraculously survived a backyard brawl with a wild animal.
Seven-year-old Nathan is one of Bob Bashore's five dachshunds. Nicknamed "Little Big Man," he holds a special place in Bashore's heart.
"It's nice to come home after work and someone wants to see you, lick your face," Bashore said. "It takes a lot of stress out of daily life. Even though we have so many, each one is very unique and loves you in a little different way."
But back in march, Bashore and his wife almost lost their beloved pet after a backyard brawl with a vicious muskrat, a large rodent Bashore says was about the size of the dachshund.
"There was a bunch of screaming and yelping and my wife thought something was wrong," Bashore said. "She went running and found the poor dogs trying to attack the muskrat. She came back into the house, and he was lying on the carpet with a pool of blood starting to surround him."
The canine's confrontation left Nathan with a severe bite dangerously close to his jugular. Bashore's wife immediately took the dog to the Michigan State University veterinary hospital, where a surgeon operated on his injured neck.
"The doctors didn't think he was going to make it with the amount of blood they figured he had lost," Bashore said. "But miraculously he did."
So now Nathan can continue to chase backyard critters at home in Charlotte.
"He's basically fearless," said Bashore. "This won't slow him down. These guys always seem to be getting into some sort of trouble. I'm just glad it didn't end his life."
And as for that attacking rodent?
"We went hunting for the muskrat, and never found him," Bashore said with a smile.
The winner will be announced today - visit www.vpihamboneaward.com for more information on the contest.
Nathan is up against a cat that survived an 11-story fall from an apartment building, and a pot-bellied pig that accidentally overdosed on human medication, among others.
