Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for November to Dave Allder, Southwest District Supervisor for the Parks and Recreation Department. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Allder has worked for the City since April 1982. He was nominated by Parks volunteer Rosina Paolini in the categories of safety, productivity and customer relations for his ongoing efforts to keep the parks in his district well maintained and safe despite funding challenges.
Paolini cited Allder's response to the problem of four-wheel vehicles racing through Wilderness Park illegally. Allder's contacts with the group did not stop the violation, so he coordinated an effort involving the Police Department and volunteers including Paolini. After she and another volunteer observed an incident, they contacted Allder who saw the offender leaving the park and drive to a residence. He then called the Police and identified the offender who eventually pled guilty to two misdemeanors - being in the park after hours and operating a vehicle off a roadway.
Chief Assistant City Prosecutor John McQuinn also commended Allder for his role making the conviction possible. McQuinn told him, "The reality that they can be caught is a good way to start changing some behaviors. Without your dedication and the efforts of your volunteers, this case would never have been solved. I appreciate all of the effort. Although the fines were small, the message was much louder."
Paolini wrote, "Dave has a passion for the great outdoors and appreciation for the natural spaces whether it be Antelope Park or Wilderness Park. Dave does what it takes to keep Wilderness Park safe for the families, hikers, riders and animals who enjoy the park." Paolini said Allder returns e-mails and phone calls on weekends to accommodate volunteers and monitors the activity in the park during and after work hours.
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are loss prevention and valor. Consideration also may be given to nominations that demonstrate self-initiated accomplishments or those completed outside of the nominee's job description. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected and appointed officials. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public. Nomination forms are available at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: personnel) or from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program.
All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

User:Mauro Carvalho Chehab
Blocking of User:MarkusR
Hi Mauro,
I completely agree that the linuxtv wiki should not be an advertisement platform, but deleting everything and blocking the user is IMHO not the right solution.
AFAIK this wiki is supposed to be (as far as possible) a one stop shop for people who look for information about tv on linux. For stuff that is not covered by the current kernel drivers we also point people to external projects. Like for support for their Em2880/Em2870 based USB DVB-T devices.
Instead of removing the apparently biased information, it should be replaced by more objective information. CityK already started that. E.g. on the Sundtek page.
In regard to the user that you blocked. Did you try to get in touch with him? I see that you can't send an email to him via the wiki but there's always the User page and a User_Talk page. IMHO blocking a user should be the last resort.
FWIW: The Block user page says
Use the form below to block write access from a specific IP address or username. This should be done only to prevent vandalism, and in accordance with policy. Fill in a specific reason below (for example, citing particular pages that were vandalized).
but that policy page doesn't even exist. So as long as there is no policy to go by, we should allow all information about linux and tv.
Just to annoy you :-) I'll add my favorite quote by Voltaire: I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
cheers --Hlangos 14:47, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

First four-time single-season honoree in A-Sun history
MACON, Ga. (Oct. 22, 2012) – Junior Ramey Kerns (Kings Mountain, N.C.) became the first four-time, single-season Atlantic Sun Player of the Week honoree in conference history Monday following her record-breaking weekend performance.
On the week, Kerns totaled 11 points with five goals and one assist. She tied Erin Ashton for the ETSU single-game goals record on Sunday, netting four in the, 5-1, win against North Florida. The hat trick was the second of the season for Kerns, making her the first Lady Buccaneer in program history to record two in a season. The only ETSU student-athlete to post two in a career was Lisa Gallagher, who did so in 1998 and 2001.
Kerns, who is a senior academically and will be leaving the Lady Bucs at the end of the year, also scored a goal on Friday, moving her season total 20 and tying for seventh most in A-Sun history. Kerns leads the conference in goals and points (44), which are both ETSU single-season records.
Entering last week, Kerns was a goal behind the nation's leading goal scorers. When the NCAA stats come out on Monday, she will more than likely be near the top of the list once again.
Kerns Notes
- Scored five goals and recorded one assist to total 11 points in two games on the weekend.
- Became the first Lady Buc in program history to record two hat tricks in a single-season.
- Netted four goals against UNF on Sunday, tying Erin Ashton for most in a single game in ETSU history.
- Upped her goals total to 20 and her points total to 44, which leads the A-Sun and are both ETSU single-season records.

David Bowie Releases First Single in 10 Years
After 10 years of silence, the 66-year-old David Bowie has released a single looking back at his early years in Berlin. WSJ's Bruce Orwall says the song may be dirge-like but it is classic Bowie and is being well reviewed.

Doctors have discovered a way for professional football players to see how much damage their brains have suffered through a bruising career before it's too late, according to a new study.
UCLA researchers led a team of scientists that used a chemical marker called FDDNP to measure the degree of brain damage in five retired football players. That marker latches onto the tau proteins that build up in the brain when someone suffers from Alzheimer's or other cognitive impairments like chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Doctors can then perform a routine positron emission tomography (PET) scan to see those chemical markers, highlighting how many tau proteins there are and where they end up.
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, also known as CTE, is caused by repeated head trauma. In the case of football players, CTE can be brought on by helmet-to-helmet collisions and hard tackles. The condition can lead to memory loss, depression, suicidal behavior and dementia, among other symptoms.
Over the last few years, doctors and football players have become particularly concerned about the risk for CTE among athletes. Players who have had three or more concussions are three times more likely to be diagnosed with depression and five times more likely to show mild cognitive impairment, said Dr. Gary Small, UCLA's Parlow-Solomon Professor on Aging and lead author of the new study. Retired NFL players have a higher-than-average risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to a 2012 study of 3,400 retired players by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Did any of you see the couple in the front row seats displaying the 12th man flag yesterday? I think it was right before half time or just at the begining of the 3rd.
It was a good (great) thing....to see.

Inspired by dynamics. Powered by coffee.
This research project focuses on investigating the mechanisms used by geckos to quickly and sturdily climb on walls/ceilings/varied surfaces. By using simple models, we can better understand the phenomena at play, and utilize this understanding to design and fabricate synthetic adhesive devices which function similarly.
This project is focused on the design of passive MEMS-based low-power frequency dividers using the nonlinear response of coupled resonators.
This project focuses on developing tunable oscillators that take advantage of nonlinearity in order to lower phase noise.
The focus of Prof. Kimberly Foster's group is in understanding the physics of microscale devices from experimental dynamic motion behavior of the system. We design, model, analyze and experimentally characterize the dynamics of various MEMS devices.
Present research involves understanding the non-linear and parametric dynamics of MEMS devices and in utilizing the unique properties of such dynamics in small scale to implement novel designs for various applications like switches, sensors and filters. Work is also being done in investigating and fabricating gecko-like adhesive material.
A primary experimental capability of the lab is the laser vibrometer measurement setup which is capable of resolving motion up to ~4nm and a temperature controllable (~80K-300K) vacuum chamber.

The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.Text by Steve Smith.

As more and more folks adopt cell phones, public phone booths across the globe are quickly becoming obsolete. And while mobile phones may be considerably more convenient than their public counterparts, what do you do with all those abandoned booths? Luckily, an Austrian telecommunications company came up with an innovative solution–turn those old-fashioned booths into battery recharging stations for electric cars, scooters and motorbikes.
Telekom Austria unveiled its first phone booth-turned-recharging station yesterday in Vienna. The company hopes to convert 29 more of the country's 13,500 booths by the end of the year and then continue to roll out more and more. It takes about 6.5 hours to recharge an electric car, 80 minutes to juice a scooter and only 20 minutes to charge an electric bicycle.
We hope that these novel new charging stations will spark a greater interest in electric vehicles, because right now, EVs aren't super popular in Austria. The country currently has about 223 registered electric cars and 3,559 hybrid vehicles on the roads. Still, Austria's motor vehicle association, VOeC, says that it expects the country to contain about 405,000 electric vehicles by the year 2020, which is when Telekom Austria's innovation will really come in handy.
Telekom Austria says that initially, using the recharging stations will be free. The company eventually hopes to charge a small fee (a single-digit Euro sum) for the charges, which customers can pay using their mobile phones.

Preseason polls don't mean very much to most teams. And for the Lady Bisons basketball team they mean even less.
So it isn't very surprising that there was little excitement in Allen Arena this week when it was announced that the Lady Bisons had been picked by both the Coaches Poll and the Media Poll to win the Atlantic Sun Conference regular season title.
"I was kind of surprised," said Lady Bisons Coach Frank Bennett who is entering his 26th season as head coach of the Lipscomb program. "If you look at the poll it is pretty wide open. It is an honor that the coaches and media would recognize us this way."
The Lady Bisons have been there before. After tying for the regular season title and winning the tournament championship for the 2003-2004 season the Lady Bisons were selected last season to win the A-Sun regular season title. They finished tied for sixth with a 10-11 record that included a first round loss to Georgia State in the A-Sun Tournament.
"This is a very exciting time,' Bennett said. "We lost a lot of close games last year. Our top two classes have been to the championship before and want to get back. That is a big motivation for the team.
"There are a lot of very good coaches and a lot of very good teams in the conference. The tournament is where things are going to be decided."
In the Coaches Poll the Lady Bisons received two votes for first place. Stetson and Florida Atlantic each had three first place votes. Gardner-Webb had two first place votes. Belmont received one.
In the Media Poll the Lady Bisons also had two first place votes. Stetson had four votes for first. Belmont, ETSU and Florida Atlantic also had two votes each for first place.
"Five teams in each poll received votes for first place," Bennett said. "Florida Atlantic and Stetson received more votes than we did. That, and the fact that we didn't finish as well as we would have liked to last year makes it a little surprising to me. So many teams have lost players. I think it is going to be wide open."
Injuries are more a concern than polls for Bennett. Since last season his players have undergone six surgeries. Junior forward Julie Martin is out for the season after surgery earlier this month for a turf toe injury.
"We've had several practices with six players either out or limited," Bennett said. "That has been the only down side of it. I've been excited about our practices and working with the new players and the returning players. The injuries have been the only damper."

ECU service van to aid veterans across eastern North Carolina

Jack Hibbs, a U.S. Navy veteran, lived on the streets for seven years. Now in his own home, he jumped at the chance to volunteer to help at a Wayne County Veterans Outreach Stand Down event Nov. 6 in Goldsboro when a friend offered to drive him there.
At events like this, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, community and state agencies and other volunteers bring information, services, clothing and food to veterans - particularly homeless veterans - and their families.
U.S. Navy veteran Jack Hibbs interacts with George, a
dog, at a Wayne County veterans outreach event Nov. 6.
A new participant is East Carolina University, which received an $828,956 grant from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services to help equip its existing Operation Re-Entry van with satellite communication and other technology to take medical, psychiatric and behavioral health services to veterans and their families where they live.
The van still has to be outfitted, but the goal is to deploy to eastern North Carolina communities early next year. ECU faculty, staff and students are creating awareness at events this fall.
"It's really about building relationships," said Dr. Paul Toriello, grant project director and chair of the Department of Addictions and Rehabilitation Studies in the College of Allied Health Sciences. "If all we do is to provide a cup of coffee, shake a hand and listen it's important to connect. It's an opportunity to show how much we value veterans. We have these services, but we're not going to pressure anyone. It's up to them to choose their level of engagement."
One-on-one interventions will be delivered through telehealth, Web and application-based systems including motivational interviewing, biofeedback, telepsychiatry consultation and vocational counseling.
Filling a need
Services are needed as more veterans are surviving combat and suicide rates are increasing. Since 2010, suicide has been the second leading cause of death among service members, according to 2012 data from the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center.
Veterans today are living with amputations, traumatic brain injury or post traumatic stress disorder, depression, drug abuse, or some combination of ailments or illnesses.
Often, services that veterans need are not available in rural counties or veterans don't know how or have a way to access services. ECU hopes to break down barriers and help veterans get services that they may not seek on their own.
"ECU, geographically, sits in the center of the third most concentrated military corridor in the country," said Jim Menke, a U.S. Navy retiree and ECU military research liaison and project manager for Operation Re-entry North Carolina, a federally-funded, multi-year, campus wide initiative that is developing model ways to help veterans. "We are a public-service university. It's great to do research, but if you're not translating the research into service and making a difference in people's lives, you're not being as impactful as you can be."
Craven, Cumberland, Onslow and Wayne counties are home to six major military installations – the biggest are Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune - with approximately 125,000 veterans living in the four counties or a neighboring county.
Compared to North Carolina overall, those four counties have poverty levels and unemployment rates at or higher than the state average and median household incomes at or below the state average, according to state labor statistics.
The Fayetteville VA assisted about 2,000 people – who are homeless or at risk for being homeless - from its 21-county service area for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30. "Some may be foreclosed on or evicted or at a high risk to become homeless," said Martin P. Murphy, coordinator of the Health Care for Homeless Veterans Program at the Fayetteville VA. "If they don't have a place to go, they typically stay where they were last deployed, and that is often here."
ECU is working closely with the VA and community partners Le'Chris Health Systems, Waynesboro Family Clinic and Carolina Outreach as well as faith-based and criminal justice agencies to help reach veterans and coordinate services.
ECU doctoral student in addictions and rehabilitation studies Dominiquie Clemmons-James, left, and and Leigh Atherton, director of the Navigate counseling clinic and clinical assistant professor in the Department of Addictions and Rehabilitation Studies, listen to participants at the Wayne County Veterans Outreach Stand Down event.
Murphy said helping at-risk veterans takes a comprehensive effort. "Some of our veterans will probably feel good having an academic perspective and approach," Murphy said. "It will be a way to engage them in the system and help them with things they need."
Dominiquie Clemmons-James, a doctoral student in addictions and rehabilitation studies assigned to ECU's psychophysiology lab led by Dr. Carmen Russoniello, is one of five doctoral and seven master's degree students from across disciplines working on the project.
Clemmons-James is a licensed counselor whose career goal is to bridge the gap between rehabilitation counseling and biofeedback, particularly for military populations. Some are more receptive to biofeedback than talk therapy, she said.
On the van, people will receive the same services, standard of care and confidentiality that they get in clinic at ECU and see results in real time. "We will have the equipment, systems and technology to reach a whole lot more people in a shorter amount of time," she said.
'A sense of purpose'
Eastern North Carolina has a long, proud military connection. Currently 35 percent of the state's population is directly or indirectly connected to the military, and the state ranks fourth in the nation in active military duty personnel per capita. There are approximately 800,000 veterans living in North Carolina, ranking fifth in the nation for military retirees and ninth for veterans, according to 2011 data from the N.C. Institute of Medicine.
The words "homelessness" and "veteran" should never go together because veterans have given so much to their country, Murphy said.
Some veterans may not be living outside or in shelters, but couch surfing and staying with friends or relatives, Menke said.
Employment is often a first step, and several industries in the Pitt County area have stepped up to offer veteran re-integration training for the workforce, Menke said. Vocational counseling will be a key part of ECU's efforts.
"It's very important for veterans to have a sense of purpose," Menke said. "That sense of serving is so ingrained."
Hibbs, the 48-year-old veteran from Kinston, said he wished the ECU van and its planned services or something similar had been available when he was on the streets. He's looking for a full-time job where he can work outside with his hands. "No transportation makes it hard to get a job," he said. In the meantime, he helps with maintenance and repairs at two half-way houses in Kinston.
"A lot of people when they see a homeless person will say 'they want to be out on the street,' and some do, but a lot don't. They just hit a run of bad luck," Hibbs said.
The region that will be served by the Operation Re-entry van is marked on the map above. (Contributed image)

I'm looking to do a cheap vacuum setup because I plan on making only a few boards this winter at a borrowed workshop. I live in an apartment right now so I can't justify expensive equipment yet.
The best I can come up with is this venturi vacuum pump from Harbor Freight ($15): http://www.harborfreight.com/air-vacuum ... 96677.html
I already have a compressor that I can use with this.
Wondering if anyone has experience with this pump.
I was thinking about using it in conjunction with a 5 gallon tank that I already have, similar to: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/ ... 7AodfXcAhw
Any worries of the thing imploding at 28" of vacuum?

BBC One on Saturday aired a trailer that teases the upcoming "Doctor Who" 50th anniversary special, "The Day of the Doctor."
The trailer doesn't actually show any footage from the 75-minute episode, but it celebrates 50 years of the Doctor by presenting all 11 Doctors, including the first, William Hartnell, who is seen in full color for the first time. The network also released an exclusive image of the 11 Doctors.
"I've been running all my lives through time and space, every second of every minute of every day for over 500 years," the current Doctor (Matt Smith) narrates. "I fought for peace in a universe at war. Now the time has come to face the choices I've made in the name of the Doctor.
"Our future depends on one single moment of one impossible day, the day I've been running from all my life, the day of the Doctor."
It shows his companion, Clara (Jenna-Louise Coleman), as well as some iconic "Who" characters such as Sarah Jane Smith and K-9 the robot dog and the Ood. We see classic villains, too, from Daleks to Cybermen.
Smith and Coleman, 10th Doctor David Tennant, Billie Piper and John Hurt, who plays someone being called the dark Doctor, star in "The Day of the Doctor."
It airs at 8 p.m. CT Nov. 23 on BBC America.

Pets, Pets, Pets
There are so many facets of shelter rescue that I love. Sometimes I'm merely the "accidental tourist". While at a Town shelter for a particular dog or cat, I may stumble on another one, often a purebred dog, which can be placed in the best of hands once I contact a dedicated network of guardians. Then I just sit back and watch the magic happen.
Last Wednesday I accompanied my pal, Doris Klem, to a distant Town shelter to retrieve a Last Hope foster who had escaped from his "tentative" owners. (Actually it was a Lets Make a Deal trip. At times you need a co-pilot when you transport a dog. Since this goofy guy likes to slobber the driver and rear view mirror, I promised to go with Doris, if she'd ride with me the next day when I took our exuberant foster German Shepherd to her trainer.)
The Last Hope dog was a fortunate fugitive. Turns out his trial owners weren't searching. Thankfully, the shelter recognized their new inmate. He had spent 6 months with them before Last Hope adopted him, and happened to get loose again in the same Town. The staff called to say they thought Mr. Goofy was back. We went to bail him out.
While there, I noticed Cupcake, a female Bullmastiff lying on a rug. The signs on her cage said that she came in 12/15 as a stray with a fractured pelvis. She was most likely hit by a car. Despite the ingrained "pound" misconception, most Town shelters are evolving from holding tanks to havens. Years ago an injured dog, especially a giant one, would not be kept long. In contrast, while in the Town's custody, Cupcake had xrays and pain meds. The staff was doing all they could to make her comfortable.
I asked about her x-rays, then for permission to take a few photos and call breed rescue. The shelter was extremely accommodating. In the past, and still at times, the mention of "purebred rescue" meets with varied reception at municipal shelters.
Some government run shelters think the public should have first choice of all purebreds, but others, like me, feel that the public has already failed these impounded purebreds at least once. We believe the next placement, when possible, should be with the intervention of those experts who cherish the breed and will do all they can to see that the dog never surfaces in a shelter again.
Soon as I got home, I called a Bullmastiff 's angel, Janell Granier, is director of programs at the Mayor's Alliance for NYC Animals by day. She's also a foster Mom for many orphan also a foster Mom for many orphan kittens and a volunteer for American Bullmastiff
(ABA) Rescueclubs.
res1.htm. Janell
has performed
miracles for Bullmastiffs
pulled from other
LI Town shelters, including
Xander who
now lives happily ever after in Ohio. I emailed her the photos to verify Cupcake's breed. Digitals are a Godsend to rescue work.
By the next day, Janell had made arrangements with the Town shelter to pick up Cupcake. On Friday, using one of her precious vacation days and no co-pilot, Janell drove mucho miles from Manhattan to eastern Suffolk to get Cupcake, and then to New Jersey to bring the appreciative, smooching Bullie to Andrea Kelly, her wonderful new foster Mom.
Cupcake, estimated only to be about 2, has been delivered to the best of hands. She has the support of Janell, Andrea and all of ABA Rescue. Cupcake is now recuperating in a home; on supplements to strengthen her bones; and has an appointment the day after New Year's to see their favorite orthopedic specialist. Once she's better, she'll go to a forever home. I can't think of a happier way to usher in the new rescue year.
… Switching breeds-Yours truly, the accidental tourist, is also a jinx. Told someone Wednesday that I rarely see Weimaraners in the shelter and the next day the Wegman floodgates opened. Two owner surrenders showed up. That's why this week's adoption list is a combo of Islip and Babylon Town Shelters.
Meanwhile Oyster Bay Town Shelter (677-5784) Miller Pl. Syosset has a selection of nice mixed breed dogs and cats deserving of loving homes. "Dora" (#1120) is a playful, young Shepherd mix. "Zoë" (#1084) is squinting in the photo and doesn't show her lovely odd eyes- one blue/ one green. This cat wants to celebrate 2007 with a new best friend. The shelter 's updated Petfinder site is running again.
Dogs: "Sarge" (#1119) - a sturdy Shepherd mix; "Tish" (#1101) - a shy Golden/Shepherd.
Cats: a longhaired gray female; "Kitcha" (#1182) - bubbly black & white; "Bob" (#919) - the big tabby in the lobby.

A Memorable Ride in a Horse - Drawn Sleigh - Sliding About Town in Deep Snow
By Alfred Opp, Vancouver, British Columbia
Edited by Connie Dahlke, Walla Walla, Washington
In Bessarabia we had long winters with lots of snow. Sometimes we had snow-drifts as high as a house. Our house was near the end of town which gave it easy access to the winds. One winter a snow-drift hit our house that reached from the ground to the roof. Dad had to shovel a tunnel to get out.
On one memorable outing, my grandparents took me along to visit Tante Emma in her uptown home. The street was packed with snow, which made walking difficult. Grandpa pulled his horse-drawn sleigh out from the barn for us to ride in. While it was good for us to get out and around, it was also good for the horses to get their idle legs in shape.
It is wonderful to recall these memories at this snowy time of year. This year my good wife Helgard decorated our coffee table in the front room with a spread Tante Emma made about 70 years ago. It looks as good as new. The spread is 26 x 26 inches in white cotton. The edges are nicely crocheted. The spread shows fine needlework with fir twigs and red candles burning brightly symbolizing the Advent time and Christmas. The needlework is so fine that it looks as though it is painted. Emma was an arts and crafts teacher who was married to Grandma Zacher's brother Oskar Mueller, a school teacher who passed away quite young. Emma not only gave classes in arts and crafts, she also gave lectures on fine cooking and baking. She was a charming lady who only spoke in classic German. Her house was a fun place to visit. Her afternoon tea with all the baked goodies was something that I looked forward to. She was also good with children and told us many stories.
That day I visited Aunt Emma with my grandparents, she let me look at some of her children's books. I especially remember that she made me comfortable sitting on her leather sofa - I was not allowed to sit on ours at home. She gave me two books to look at - one was titled "The Struwelpeter" about a boy who didn't take a bath, didn't comb his hair and refused to have his nails cut. The book showed how messy he looked, with the others laughing at him. The other book was "Artur mit dem langen Arm" (Arthur with the long arm) - the story of a boy who didn't listen to his parents when told to not hang onto a wagon that was in motion. The boy was not listening to what his parents said, and so he did it again, only this time his arm got stuck to the wagon, pulling him along and stretching his arm to twice it's normal length. He walked home ashamed, dragging along his long arm.
Grandpa had an old horse that he didn't feel deserved to be retired or even put down. He used this horse on short outings or light fieldwork. "Maschka" the horse also needed to exercise her legs to keep them from getting stiff. I was about seven at the time, and had some horse experience by then, thanks to grandpa. "Maschka" had a bit of a joint problem that needed a foot-bath from time to time. After grandpa showed me how it was done, he then trusted me enough to do that job. All I had to do was to give the leg a tap, and the foot went in the canvas pail filled up with the warm liquid. Did the horse ever love that! I then kept watch until the time was up.
Grandpa harnessed "Maschka" onto my sled so that we could go up and down the road. Was I ever proud of that! My friends joined their sleds onto mine - sometimes as many as 10 sleds in one long line. The horse had a blanket on to keep warm. I was not allowed to have "Maschka" go fast, although I was tempted. We all had fun, and so did "Maschka." After that, I took "Maschka" home and Grandpa took off the harness and put her into her stall. I gave her some oats for being my buddy that day.
Christmas, snow, sleigh rides, visits and the pure fun we had are memories that I cherish so very much. Even in the summertime with all the animals around us, we felt so good. As kids, we had to work from an early age. We learned to be responsible for the tasks that were given to us. That was a tool passed on to us that helped us to get along in life.

I am userbase, as basic as you can ever imagine. I do not code, I do not perform fancy fixes on bugs, I use my ubuntu desktop for what it is: a desktop. No eye-candy killer machine, no extreme gaming zone, no kernel compiler, no network and hacking gear.
I barely maintain a blog, I do not even host it myself (apologies for the downtimes, my free host is … free, they install wordpress and upgrade it, I am forever in debt), but I contribute to the Ubuntu project doing what I know and like the best: building bridges between worlds.
Strait to the point: we have a Dev-Link forum on UF. Some identified developers use it, to get feedback from the userbase. I think it is a great great great and underused idea.
The Ubuntu users crowd is diverse. Some of them are long time Linux addicts, some are coming from the other side of the fence, from the Windows world. Most of the new users gather on the forums. Mailing lists and IRC do not belong to their world. These channels do not mix up very much. Newcomers know how to use a web browser, and an IRC client is a whole new tool they need to learn.
Dev-Link is an ideal bridge, but why is it so little used by the devs? Once again, thanks to the ones (Henrik, Hobbsee, RAOF, ago, jasonspiro, asac, MetalMusicAddict, bmartin, DoctorMO, tepsipakki, bryceharrington, gnomefreak…) who use it. Forums are not a dev world, is that it? What is a userbase for a Ubuntu dev? Couple links to think about:
- A dev eye on the user testing. As Jason Spiro once told me in an email: developers and users never use their PCs the same way.
- Development decisions and user feedback. Discussion currently going on.
- On the relationship between mailing-lists and the forums. This thread is more about the Development Idea Pool on UF. Please read down the whole thread.
How to either bring the userbase to the dev prefered channels (ie ml or IRC) or get the devs to use their web browser?

What happens when the answer to, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" is "To be a fashion designer--and to save the world?"
If you're Treana Peake, you figure out how to do both.
Four years ago Peake, 40, decided to use the profits from her successful Vancouver-based fashion label, Obakki, to fund the Obakki Foundation, which works to bring water, food and education to people in developing countries. One hundred percent of her company's net profits now go into the foundation. To date, it has raised $2.67 million from donors and Obakki Designs--enough to drill 400 wells in South Sudan and build 12 schools in Cameroon, with more to come.
Daily Worth: Which passion came first for you – fashion or philanthropy?
Treana Peake: I've actually been doing philanthropy ever since I was in grade school. I was always coming up with ways to fundraise. I would assume the role of a promoter, and I'd throw a concert or I would write a script and audition kids to join this play, and then I would [give away] the proceeds from the show.
Where did that passion for philanthropy come from?
I was really drawn to other cultures in different parts of the world and always thought, if there's a way for me to help, I should. I honestly don't know where I got that from, but I remember having those feelings at a very young age.
What gave you the notion that you could merge philanthropy with business?
My goal from the beginning in 2005 was to build up this company and then use the money that I made to fund my philanthropic efforts. But I didn't vocalize that publicly because I didn't think they would believe me.
What changed?
I was at this crossroads where people were paying less and less attention to the philanthropic work I was doing. I realized in order to have people hear my story on the philanthropy side, I needed to apply some more creativity to it and give it another bit of a spin. [The fashion] was also a superficial product, and I thought, "I want to give my fashion a purpose." So it seemed like a natural merge of the two.
If your goal is to do good in the world, why not just donate to an existing organization?
A lot of us write checks for various organizations and, while they're very worthy organizations and have great reputations and are doing a lot of really good work, you never really know where your money's going.
Obakki Designs itself covers all the administrative fees of the foundation so that, if somebody gives $100, $100 actually gets to the project. It was really important to me to do it that way.

Yahoo Messenger Flaw allows injection of JavaScript into IM Windows Dec 05 2003 01:35PM
Chet Simpson (secure ytunnelpro com)
Title: Yahoo Messenger Flaw allows injection of JavaScript into IM Windows
Author: Chet Simpson (secure (at) ytunnelpro (dot) com [email concealed])
Date: December 5th, 2003
Host Platforms tested: WindowsME and WindowsXP (sp1a)
Target Applications tested: Yahoo Messenger 5.5 (Build 1249)
Yahoo Messenger 5.6 (Build 1355)
Target Applications affected: ??All?? versions of Yahoo Messenger
Components Affected: ypager.exe
Prerequisites: The IMVironment feature must be enabled
Possible Dangers: Password Theft
XSS Cookie Exploits
Application/System crashes
Example included: Yes
A vulnerability found in ypager.exe allows a website to inject [malicious] html,
scripts, and possibly activex controls into a Yahoo Messenger IM window.
Yahoo Messenger installs a special URL handler to automatically launch any URL
starting with "ymsgr:". For Netscape, the YAuto.dll file is used. For Internet
Explorer the main executable (ypager.exe) is launched. The Messenger specific
URL protocol allows for automatically opening Instant Messages, Chatrooms,
and File Transfer sessions. The exploit documented here is specific to the
functionality provided by this URL protocol to initiate an Instant Messenging
session with another user. The format to initiate this session is as follows:
One of the features of this undocumented URL protocol is the ability to
specify the "IMVironment" that should be used during the IM session.
When Yahoo Messenger attempts to load an IMVironment, the name of the
IMVironment is displayed at the top of the text area in the IM window.
If the IMVironment cannot be found or an error occurs a message will be
displayed at the bottom of the same window stating that the IMVironment
cannot be loaded. Although the message at the top of the window is filtered
to prevent injection of HTML and scripts the error message is not.
By placing an IFRAME tag in place of the IMVironment name an additional
web page can be loaded in the context of Yahoo Messenger. This is extremely
dangerous as the IE HTML Control does not necessarily adhere to the current
security and privacy settings selected by the user. This allows a webpage
containing scripts to be loaded and provides an environment which to execute
malicious scripts.
Example Scripts:
There are three (3) files included with in the example archive which
demonstrate the flaw outlined in this document:
ymsgr1.html - This is the primary 'host' file containing a Yahoo
Messenger link which initiates a Yahoo Messenger
IM session. Run this first and click on the link.
ymsgr2.html - This file is loaded by Yahoo Messenger into the IM
window once it opens and the IMVironment fails to load.
The sample JavaScript contained in this file may not
work in all cases but was chosen to show the severity
of this flaw. Once loaded it will attempt to gather the
Yahoo ID and if available the encoded password stored in
the system registry.
on all systems as some anti-virus software may block it.
ymsgr2p.html - Same as ymsgr2.html but displays the Yahoo ID and encoded
password in a popup window. This will not work with
popup or ad blockers.
ymsgr3.php - This file is accessed by ymsgr2.html and is responsible
for displaying the Yahoo ID and encoded password gathered
by the included script.
Take note that the chosen script may not work on all configurations. During
testing the IFRAME injection was blocked by Y!TunnelPro and by McAfee
Anti-Virus. Norton Anti-Virus Pro 2004 and IMSecurePro did not appear to
stop the script.
A demo of this script can be seen at the following URL:
The archive containing this file and the example scripts can be found here:
http://www.ubabble.com/ymsgr.zip - Zip format
http://www.ubabble.com/ymsgr.tgz - GZipped Tarball
Side Effects:
This exploit has an extremely nasty side effect. If the IFRAME is added to
the ymsgr URL in certain ways the IMVironment information will be saved in
such a way that Messenger will no longer log in. This requires that either
the IMVironment keys in the registry be cleaned or Yahoo Messenger to be
completely uninstalled.
Work around:
Until Yahoo can fix the problem the exploit can be avoided by turning off
IMVironments in the Yahoo Messenger preferences.

(Reuters) - FedExCup champion Brandt Snedeker maintained his sizzling form this season by moving into a two-way tie for the lead with fellow American James Hahn after the third round of the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Saturday.
Snedeker, helped by a run of five birdies in six holes around the turn, fired a four-under-par 68 at the hosting Pebble Beach Golf Links on a glorious sun-splashed winter's day.
That left him at 12-under 202 and level with PGA Tour rookie Hahn who carded a six-under 66 at Spyglass Hill, the most difficult of the three venues being used this week.
American Chris Kirk was a further stroke back after a six-under 64 at Monterey Peninsula but it was not a good day for defending champion Phil Mickelson who triple-bogeyed the last at Pebble Beach for a 73 to finish right on the cutline.
Snedeker was delighted to remain on track for his first victory of the year, despite losing momentum over the closing stretch where he failed to take advantage of a few good birdie opportunities.
"I played great, pretty much from start to finish," he told CBS. "A couple of hiccups here and there but I'm in great shape going into tomorrow.
"I let probably three or four (birdie chances) slide on the back nine which I needed to make. I just need to start making some putts," added Snedeker, who has recorded three top-three finishes in his first four events on the 2013 PGA Tour.
Hahn ended his round on a rousing note with birdies on his last three holes to draw level with Snedeker at the top.
"My attitude was good today," the 31-year-old said. "I started off well and I just told myself I was going to give myself a lot of (birdie) looks.
"Spyglass is one of my favorite golf courses in the rotation so you can't have a bad day out there."
Snedeker, co-leader overnight with fellow American Ted Potter Jr., made a fast start to the third round with a birdie at the par-five second to move a stroke in front at nine under.
Though he bogeyed the short fifth, he rebounded in style with four consecutive birdies to reach the turn in four-under 32, three ahead of the field.
"I hit a lot of irons real close on the front nine ... and that was a great way to finish (the nine) but I didn't really make a putt," Snedeker said. "I had a bunch of six or eight-footers."
Snedeker surprisingly bogeyed the par-four 10th after finding the middle of the fairway off the tee but immediately recovered by rolling in a 12-footer to birdie the 11th.
Known as one of the best putters in the game, Snedeker missed birdie attempts from eight feet at the 17th and from 11 feet at the last to remain three shots in front.
Four-times champion Mickelson, who won last week's Phoenix Open after a dominant display in the Arizona desert, was two under for the day with three holes to play before his round unraveled.
The American left-hander ran up a three-putt bogey at 16, but then recovered by sinking a nine-footer to birdie the 17th before making a mess of the last.
Mickelson hit two shots into the ocean while playing the 18th, slipping on rocks while looking for his errant drive, before completing his back nine in two-over 38.
"I got lucky I didn't get hurt," the world number 10 said. "It was a beautiful day here at Pebble, we got perfect weather and I just couldn't get going.
"And then to finish with a triple, it doesn't feel great."
The three-round cut fell at one-under 213 with former world number one David Duval and triple major champion Padraig Harrington of Ireland among those failing to advance.

No art form lives and dies by word of mouth quite like the Broadway show. A single bad review can end a run, yet a simple I heard it was good is often enough motivation to shell out $100 for a seat. And this fall, you've likely heard that quite a few shows are supposed to be good (as though any shows are not supposed to be good). But let the expectant beware! Your hopes may be highbut not too high, as they no doubt were for the new Philip Roth novel you're now thinking about skipping. Or for the Mets' playoff chances. Or the sight of Sir Ian McKellen as Lear, prancing about in the buff. Life may be full of disappointments, but just think: If you'd gone in expecting nothing, you likely would have been amazed.

Many Hacks Claimed, Few Confirmed on Anon's Day of Mayhem
Nov 6, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Anonymous has been celebrating Guy Fawkes Day by engaging in various acts of mayhem online and turning out in person at sites across the globe to protest. Some of the reported hacks have turned out to be unsubstantiated.
The attack claims include Symantec and ImageShack. PayPal also was reported to have been hacked, but a spokesperson says that's not true.
Anonymous has also announced that it's going to launch phase two of Operation maZynga, an attack it launched against Zynga last week.
Further, the collective held a march Monday night on Trafalgar Square in London.
Also to mark the day Monday, Anonymous said it would bring TYLER, its peer-to-peer Wikileaks project for whistleblowers everywhere, out of beta.
The Anonymous Hacks
Anonymous posted data taken from Symantec, ImageShack, several self-proclaimed hackers and at least one PayPal user on Pastebin. The posting purports to list the names and email addresses of several people hosted on a Symantec domain, data from at least one PayPal user, and information about several ImageShack's servers.
Symantec's complete database, as well as data from more than 4,000 user accounts -- many of which appeared to be owned by Symantec employees or related companies -- reportedly have been put up on the Pastebin site.
"The Symantec leak is most worrying as encrypted passwords are visible with emails," Ken Baylor, research vice president at NSS Labs, told TechNewsWorld. "Once they are cracked, they will be leveraged to break into corporate accounts and likely the users' personal accounts, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter accounts for social engineering and further data theft."
Anonymous has owned ImageShack's servers for years, from the ground up, the collective claims. However, it ended its hack of that company when an admin set up an intrusion detector.
The group struck at Symantec because, although it claims to own "all the other major AV corporations, yours just pissed us off the most."
Anonymous also reportedly published the VMware ESX Server kernel's source code, and hit several Australian sites as well as the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Lack of Evidence
Symantec "is investigating the recent claims made online regarding the security of our networks," spokesperson Mike Bradshaw told TechNewsWorld. "We have found no evidence that customer information was exposed or impacted." The company "will continue to monitor the situation and aggressively investigate these and any related claims."
Whether PayPal was actually hacked remains an open question as well. Anonymous was reported to have hacked 28,000 PayPal accounts, but PayPal also denies this claim.
"It appears that the exploit was not directed at PayPal after all," spokesperson Dave Garcia told TechNewsWorld. "The original story that started this and was retweeted by some of the Anonymous Twitter handles has now been updated."
Preserving the 5th Estate
There also have been reports, which Anonymous itself denied, that had it attacking various NBC sites and targeting Facebook. It repeated that denial Monday in response to a query.
Keeping Things in ContextSymantec has been hacked before, and it could be that this is because it, like many other companies, "focuses on perimeter security and protecting key systems," NSS Labs' Baylor suggested. "What [enterprises] forget is, they have multiple development servers which are extremely vulnerable, and can be used as gateway systems, as many [of these] share accounts and passwords with their key systems."
Websites are attacked "millions of times a day," and "it takes only one lucky hit" to compromise them, Baylor continued. Businesses need to move away from passwords and toward multifactor authentication, cut down on password reuse and put in better controls against botnets.

This is my first time using the CityPASS but I already love it. CityPASS is the Holy Grail for tourists for countless reasons. First of all, you save money on attractions you WOULD G TO ANYWAY. All in all it was the best money I have ever spent on traveling.
We used CityPASS Chicago recently and it was a not only a vacation saver but a marriage saver. My husband and I would typically argue about which way to go and what to do next. The CityPASS was easy to use and offered detailed information as well as discounts.
My family came to visit us from Colombia. It was their first time in the states and I wanted to make sure their first vacation was more than what they expected it to be. When I came across the Chicago CityPASS online I knew it was just what I needed to make their trip memorable. They call them the "little magic booklets," because it had everything they wanted to see in Chicago.
This pass is a great way to see all the best sites in Chicago. I had planned to visit all these places anyway, so why not get a discount for it! Also, it was great to walk past all the huge lines and get in more quickly.
I feel like a VIP when I use this CityPASS in Chicago!
We have purchased CityPASS now for three cities, Southern California, New York and now Chicago. We have a family of 5 and this makes planning so easy and affordable!! Not to mention not standing in line for tickets!!!
The CityPASS was the perfect way to plan our stay in Chicago. I was able to show my daughter my favorite places in Chicago, and a few others as well. The CityPASS provided a better price, and skipping to the front of the line was like icing on the cake!.
After doing much research about CityPASS and other group admission passes of the like, I knew I had to get the CityPASS. Chicago CityPASS gets you into 5 of the top sightseeing places - with an upgraded admission!
