Anthony Bettini wants toBy Tom Steinert-Threlkeld | Posted 2002-01-01 Print
At the behest of Baseline, Guardent Inc. security consultant Anthony Bettini took a crack at the code that protects the New England Healthcare EDI Network from unauthorized use.cross over...">
Anthony Bettini wants to cross over.
No, not to the afterlife. He's just 22.
Instead, he wants to prove that it's possible to use the 50 characters allowed in two data fields of a Web page at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston to grab data that he could use to gain access to information about patients and medical transactions at the Tufts Health Plan across town.
The objective requires that he figure out a way to put half his script in one of the fields and then use the computer equivalent of an "and" sign to continue his script in the other field.
For four hours, he has been inching closer to figuring out how to cram his sequence of instructions into the maximum 50 numbers and letters available.
Shortly after lunch on his second day of trying, Bettini is able to "throw the code" and get the script to work. Under a certain set of conditions, he now could prove that an attack could be launched against the Tufts server from another part of the New England Healthcare EDI Network.
Not that he wants to. Bettini is a white hat, working for Guardent Inc., a Waltham, Mass., company that assesses the vulnerability of computer networks to attacks from insiders and intruders.
Its task on the first Thursday and Friday of 2002: To find chinks in the armor of NEHEN, the four-year-old medical network that is regarded as a model for how to create a secure means of exchanging patient information electronically between hospitals and insurers.
When he and James Foster, also 22, are done, they will have found three "high risk" vulnerabilities in the NEHEN system, five "medium" risks and five "low" risks.
None will last long, with each of the risks identified in the vulnerability test requested by Baseline being fixed by network administrators before publication. Nor does Guardent even try to prove that an outsider could get unauthorized access to any sort of patient name, address or medical care information.
Indeed, the network uses private leased lines. Also, none of its gateways are "dual-homed"; that is to say, also connected to the Internet, and therefore they are not vulnerable to outside attack.
Beyond that, the attack that Bettini has spent so much time pursuing could be successful only when a fortuitous and complex series of conditions occur at the same time. For instance, a malicious e-mail would have to be sent to a network user using an outmoded and faulty version of Microsoft Outlook, who would open the e-mail at the same time he or she was accessing the health care network for other purposes. Just for starters.
But even obscure chinks are chinks. And Bettini and Foster are acting as the most likely of threats: knowledgeable insiders who may have axes to grind. In that context, it's almost impossible to completely lock down any network, medical or otherwise.
"It's very unusual that you do a test like this," says Jonas Hellgren, a managing director of Guardent, "and you don't find anything. It's very difficult for anyone to keep any application locked down and tight over time."
Yet it's not that hard for Foster and Bettini to find some simple oversights that couldon the wrong fingertipsrepresent what they believe to be a "huge confidentiality leak."
On one Web page belonging to the CareGroup of hospitals, which includes Beth Israel Deaconess, the pair find a file available to all authenticated users, from receptionists on up, that contains passwords to a Tufts file transfer server. In effect, a CareGroup user could be used to potentially compromise a non-CareGroup serversomething that is not supposed to happen on this highly secure electronic infrastructure of New England health care institutions.
The Tufts firewall may still have prevented access. But, from the CareGroup side, the antidote is a quick 20-second fix, limiting access to this file to administrators only.
The original point remains: In secure networks, only administrators should have access to administrative functions. Users should not be able to get such data as other user identification information, passwords or even communication port IDs.
Also of concern to Bettini and Foster are some of the communications channels in the network. Leased data circuits connect gateways between the member institutions to each other. The idea: to remove the pipes from access by outsiders.
This way, there is essentially no way the leased lines between gateways could be compromised, maintains Kristofer Karas, technical security engineer for information security at CareGroup.
A vulnerability here would assume that some individual is sophisticated enough to break into the telephone company's servers and find a way to put a tap on a fiber connection, then use some sort of advanced tools to capture the raw pool of packets that are being relayed along these lines as frames of data and to sort the data into some sort of intelligent output.
"These are all well beyond the techniques of a typical script-kiddie," says Karas.
But the members of the network have chosen to send data unencrypted over those leased lines, which concerns Guardent. That means that a knowledgeable foe could place a sniffer on a compromised server behind a gateway and pull off information about patients and the care they are seeking without having to crack itor the leased lines between gatewaysat all.
A person smart enough to grab packets in some fashion off private lines between gateways probably would be smart enough, Karas notes, to break into a hospital's own internal network and bypass NEHEN altogether. Crackers are famous, he says, for "going for the path of least resistance."
Bettini and Foster indeed are more concerned about CareGroup's internal network, anyway. The highest risk, in their estimation, is in the unencrypted traffic inside CareGroup between one of its older database servers and the gateway that leads out to the New England-wide network.
The risk here is that a malicious insider could put a tap of some sort on traffic to and from the database; and find out what outsiders want to know about CareGroup patients.
But CareGroup Chief Information Officer John Halamka notes that the NEHEN gateway and his hospital organization's database system are connected by private fiber lines. "There is no risk that this could be sniffed or intercepted," he says. "I know of no company in America that encrypts traffic in its data center."
Which brings the Guardent test back to its original conclusion: That medical networks such as this are vulnerable not so much to outside individuals that have some sort of vendetta against patients under their care as to the disgruntled or wrongly curious employee.
The vulnerabilities that Guardent found (and CareGroup fixed) are "subtleties that are largely theoretical in nature that they [cannot] actually exploit," at this juncture, said Halamka. And when insiders go bad and try to use the system in some unauthorized fashion, as happens from time to time, logs and other mechanisms make it easy to redress their actions, he says.
"We fire them," he says.

Bell family (Monotype Imaging library) contains 32 fonts.
Monotype's hot metal Bell series from 1931 was based on original types made by the punchcutter Richard Austin for the foundry of John Bell in the 1780s. The different sizes of Monotype's series were not all based on the same model. As type historian James Mosley wrote on Typophile, "For 18 point and above (the metal type was cut in sizes up to 36 point) Monotype's model was a larger type [than the model used for the text sizes], the 'Great Primer' cut by Austin. This has greater contrast in the capitals and a flat foot to letter a." The digital Bell closely follows the design of the hot metal 18pt version, and is therefore somewhat lighter in color than the text sizes of Monotype's original metal face.

Looks good but no it wouldn't give me a hard time. One shot would incinerate it.
A tip on construction:
You are using lots of plates arranged flat across the ship. Try seeing if you can get some at angles to really fill out the fuselage to make it beefier in the back.

So basically I've been given an assignment, which is the following:
Complete Option 1 or Option 2 below. Either option must include at least three of each of the following:
- drawSquare
- drawHexagon
- drawPolygon
- drawOctagon
- drawEquilateralTriangle
Say and include at least two of the following:
- swingAround
- fillCircle
- fillBox
- Cover the entire "world" (terminal screen)
Option 1:
- Use this object to draw an original graphic design. Your graphic design must include at least two colors other than black and white.
Option 2:
- Use this object to create an interesting animation. Your animation must last two minutes.
And this is what I have so far:
public class CreateASmartTurtle { public static void main() { SmartTurtle OG = new SmartTurtle(); } }
As you can see, I am totally lost on what to do. Can anyone possibly make me an interesting design following those standards? It would be much appreciated, thank you!

CHINO – City Council members have authorized staff to send a letter to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation detailing their concerns with the state's proposal to build additional inmate housing facilities at the California Institution for Men in Chino.
"The City Council and I just recently learned of the CDCR's intention to build up to three 792-bed Level II Correctional Housing Facilities as well as inmate programming space, and related support buildings at existing prisons within the State; five locations are being considered and CIM is on the list of possibilities," said Mayor Dennis Yates at Tuesday's council meeting
Yates added with two existing overcrowded prisons within Chino, the community is already bearing more than its fair share of the state's prisoners, according to a city news release.
"Adding to the current prison population would have significant social and economic effects on the community as this proposed facility would be located in proximity to current and future residents, as well as Chaffey Community College, and Ayala Park, the City's largest park and sports facility," Yates said in a news release.
The council plans to fight CDCR on the placement of any new facilities on prison property until the overcrowding and on-going deferred maintenance issues are addressed.
CDCR plans to have a meeting on this project at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Jan. 30 at City Hall, 13220 Central Ave., Chino.

2013 mini cooper-paceman Model Overview
Vehicle Overview
With two doors and a higher ride height, the 2013 Mini Cooper Paceman could easily be mistaken as a large version of the Cooper Hardtop coupe. The Paceman, however, is essentially a more stylish and less practical two-door version of the four-door Cooper Countryman. While both Mini crossovers share almost identical dimensions, the Paceman does sacrifice a bit of rear head and cargo room due to its sloping roofline that gives it a profile similar to the more expensive Range Rover Evoque.
Powertrain choices are also identical to the Countryman. The base-model 1.4-liter I-4 produces 121-hp and sends power to the front wheel via a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. The Cooper S Paceman
gets a turbocharged 1.6-liter I-4 rated at 184 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque and is offered with the same gearbox choices as the base engine. The S model, however, can be had in front or all-wheel drive. "Power from the turbocharged engine remains more than adequate with a fun, easy-revving character and a healthy mid-range," we noted during our first drive of a Cooper S Paceman. "It's also worth noting that the manual-equipped Paceman gets a new-style clutch assembly said to eliminate the engagement difficulties some experienced in the Countryman."
Finally, the range-topping 208-hp John Cooper Works model includes a six-speed manual gearbox (an automatic is available, too) standard all-wheel drive and an even sportier suspension setup than the Cooper S Paceman. Like all Minis, the Paceman can be personalized with a long list of paint colors, decals, wheels, interior finishes, and options. Among the list of amenities includes a panorama sunroof, navigation, and leather seats.
New for 2013
The Cooper Paceman is the newest addition to the Mini family. Essentially a two-door version of the Cooper Countryman, the 2013 Mini Paceman is a bit more stylish, yet is still one of the most practical Minis on the market today.

Topic: Fan Fic - Brush with Fame
Anger flowed strong and powerfully through Lana's petite form as she continued cleaning tables with a clenched jaw. She hated being a waitress. She hated the continual jibes about her legs and how cute she looked in her outfit. Thankfully the crowd of patrons were dwindling and she was finally getting less attention. It was annoying being the sole human female waitress in such a diner but work was hard to get on Bespin.
Although Bespin was thriving, it was overwhelmed with people of all species wanting to relocate to such a heavenly place. It was anything but heaven for Lana, however it was a better place to be in comparison to Kessel.
Lana let out a sigh as she finished cleaning the tabletop. Normally the droids looked after it but BE23 had broken down so Lana had been stuck with assisting. As she walked back into the kitchen she was glad to see that she had only thirty minutes left of her shift.
Suddenly a food bag was shoved at her. "What's this?" Luna asked.
"Delivery, since you're knocking off soon you get the honours." Sleb the cook told her.
"Let me guess, it's at the space port." Luna said with a frown.
"Bingo, the lady wins again. Landing pad 249, the ship is called The Wolf." Sleb told as he dished out some deep fried potatoes.
"Righto," she said as she retrieved her coat and her wallet. At least she was getting out of the diner.
Lana rode her beat up speeder bike to the landing pad. She didn't pay much heed to the ship that sat there. It was just another one of the many visitors coming to Bespin.
She walked up the ramp and knocked on the metal door. "Where's the damn door bell," she muttered to herself.
A minute passed and Lana considered going back to her speeder bike when the door opened. Her jaw dropped in surprise, there before her stood a man in Mandalorian armour.
It was like thousands of voices cried out for a sequel and were suddenly silenced...

I love buying cleansers, I do, but its hard to find something thats effective but also gentle. I find a lot of cleansers really strip the skin and as a result, I get oily quicker as my skin over compensates.
As a quick cheapy purchase I got this for about £7 – yep, I like Marshmallows!
I have been trying so many different products that I didn't get round to using this till a week ago. And I have to say – I love it!
1. Its got a super bouncy foam texture! Its not pathetic foam that disappears in your hand, its actually quite firm
2. It creates a lovely lather on the skin, it doesn't feel thinned out, its works as well as any creamy foam wash.
3. When I rinsed it away my skin felt dry and not dry at all
4. It cleansed well, as I could really work it in. If I had a lot of make up on, I would probably double cleanse.
5. Its affordable
1. You have to buy it online? Its not that easy to get hold of? Thats it, I think its fab!
Biore have a range in the UK but its aimed more at blemished/acne prone skin types – the range that they have in Asia is so much better!
I will be pumping pumping every time I wash my face!

Check this out: A new, "specialist" certification for Small Business Server experts.
While the announcement was made as part of many Microsoft Partner Program-related announcements during that week, what makes this particular announcement "special" is how it fits into the rest of the program. Microsoft is creating a communal area for partners that it's calling the Small Business Specialist Community, which provides registered partners with an array of resources tailored to small business, such as a partner locator tool that's similar to the ones for Microsoft Certified and Gold Partners, training and special offers, use of business marketing materials, and use of a new Small Business Specialist logo.
According to a press release posted on Microsoft's Web site, the goal of the new designation is to provide recognition to a major segment of Microsoft's business outside of the Windows operating system. "We'll make it much easier for the 41 million small businesses around the world to identify those partners in Microsoft's network that are best able to address their specific needs," said Steve Guggenheimer, vice president of small business for the Small and Midmarket Solutions & Partner Group at Microsoft.
The requirements to obtain the Small Business Community specialization are less stringent than a typical competency:

I want to go to Thailand. Sometimes it seems that practically all my friends have already visited this very famous tourist-destination-neighbor of ours (one very good friend just got back). In fact, a lot of them are already off to less visited places around our little Asian block, while I have not even seen the major go-to points…places that are in my own backyard! Criminy.
They say people take for granted that which is familiar…and I suppose I am guilty. All my life I dreamed of far-off destinations, when some of the most exotic where right beside me (instead of a debilitating 18+ hour flight away), not to mention all the incredibly amazing places to visit right here (but that's a whole other story)!
Ah Thailand! What secrets have you shared with everyone but me? When I go, will you be weary of visitors and have no gusto left for a latecomer? Will the cuisine I have heard so much about, whose flavor is incomparable to any of its replications in other countries, still lash out with the same power and heat to slay me? Will all your goodies still be as reasonably-priced? Wait for me Thailand!
Sigh…one day. Meanwhile, I pacify myself with homemade Thai curry.
I love Thai food (another reason I am itching to go!) but I have never really thought of making it at home. Until I saw these recipes on Rice and Noodles…Mae's fabulous site of which I am a big fan. I combined some of her recipes, along with some others from my own cookbooks and this is what I came up with.
Thai Green Curry with Tilapia
(adapted from Mae's recipes)
- 300 grams tilapia fillets
- 1 cup coco evap (Nestle coconut evaporated milk)
- 1 cup water
- One 50-gram package green curry paste (about 2-3 tablespoons)
- 2 stalks of lemongrass (sliced 1 inch diagonally, crushed)
- 1/3 cup dried kaffir lime leaves (not packed)
- One onion, sliced
- 2 slices dried galangal
- 3 pieces calamansi (one for the curry and two for the fish)
- ¼ cup of dried holy basil
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
– Squeeze calamansi on the tilapia and set aside.
– Heat the oil in a pot on medium heat.
– Fry the onions, lemongrass, and galangal until onions are soft.
– Add the curry paste and kaffir lime leaves and sauté a bit.
– Add the coco evap and water. Let simmer until flavors develop, about 20 minutes. Add fish sauce and calamansi/lime to taste.
– While the sauce is simmering, add the tilapia fillets. Stir (carefully! take care not to crush the fillets), cover, and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
– Add the holy basil and stir (carefully!). Simmer a bit more then take off the heat.
The curry came out much better than I expected. I thought my first attempt at Thai cooking at home might not capture the full flavors that I expect of Thai food…plus I was using a lot of dried/not fresh ingredients. Well, I was pleasantly surprised that all those Thai flavors did come forward, without overpowering one another! It should still be tweaked to your taste though, depending on how spicy you like it. The tilapia fillets worked really well with this. They were just the right amount of tender and held the flavors perfectly.
I used dried kaffir lime leaves and dried galangal which I found in Spices 'n Flavours. This was before I found out that you can get fresh kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and holy/Thai basil from Gil Carandang's Herbana Farms stall at the Salcedo Saturday Market. I have, since then, also found fresh galangal at Rustans Supermarket. My good friend who just came back from Thailand brought me back some kaffir lime leaves as well…in a very spiffy-looking blue tin! Thank you Gypsysoul! I will be using these next 🙂
I have yet to try Thai dishes in Thailand, which I am told is one of life's amazing food experiences. Until then I have this…thanks Mae for always inspiring!
To try next time:
– Using fresh kaffir lime leaves/galangal/holy basil
– Adding fresh cilantro at the last minute
– Using real lime instead of calamansi (first I have to find some)
– Substitute the tilapia with prawns or chicken
– Adding a vegetable like kangkong or spinach or eggplant

Soon, it passes. I don't refer to the move from summer's heat to the cold days of winter, but rather to the merciful end to the political season that cannot come too soon for many aviators. Of course, we worry about how various moves by the government may influence our flying, both in costs and in privileges. Yet, the onslaught of ads and constant yammering of the political class tends to distract us from what we really love — flying our airplanes above this beautiful country in relative freedom.
Regretfully it won't end on election day. That's because another, even larger battle looms soon afterward. I now refer to sequestration, a fancy word for a budget cut, or at least that's how many in the FAA regard it. A point of interest is that FAA officials have, for some months, been under travel restrictions, so watching expenses and not being able to do everything is already a part of the culture.
Working to remain within its budget and to use human and other resources carefully takes good stewardship, even if the annual budget is more than $15 billion and the employee count hovers around 50,000. It may be hard for those of us down here in the trenches of aviation to comprehend such volumes of money and personnel, but FAA's supersized budget demands management oversight.

text: Hi to all, I've installed Debian 6 in cluster mode, with mysql replica and file sync (/var/www and /var/vmail) and working very well. Both servers have 2 NIC, two IP addresses (one public, one private). How to configure the replication and file sync with unison to be done, over the private IP interface so that we don't incur any bandwidth charges? And second question is how to make ISPConfig to communicate in both direction? For example if add a new client on master server appear to slave after 1 minute, but don't work from slave to master. Thank you for great piece of software.

November 23, 2012 12:43 ET
OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 23, 2012) - The Honourable Diane Ablonczy, Minister of State of Foreign Affairs (Americas and Consular Affairs), was in Toronto today to announce the launch of the newly revamped Travel.gc.ca, Canada's official "one-stop shop" for international travel information.
"Our government is pleased to announce Travel.gc.ca, a newly revamped tool to help Canadians travel smarter and safer," said Minister Ablonczy. "For the first time ever, we have brought together in one place information from all government departments to help Canadians be informed before, during and after their travels."
Travel.gc.ca is a single website where Canadians will find, easily and efficiently, the information they need to travel or live abroad safely and to make informed decisions. In addition to the website, a new mobile application, Travel Smart, is now available; it allows Canadians anywhere in the world to access Government of Canada information and services on international travel.
Canadians will also be able to access key travel information from anywhere in the world through Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds and email updates. Travel.gc.ca is supported by a social media presence distributing the latest travel advice, crisis updates and emergency contact information. Social media channels will also provide a venue for Canadians to let the Government of Canada know about their travel-related needs and priorities.
"Canadians access Travel.gc.ca and government services from their mobile devices in surprising numbers," added Minister Ablonczy. "The Travel Smart app and social media channels are a natural fit in our age of smart phones."
Travel.gc.ca is managed by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada in collaboration with the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, the Canada Border Services Agency, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the Canada Revenue Agency, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Environment Canada, Health Canada, Passport Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, Public Safety Canada and Transport Canada.
For more information, please visit Travel.gc.ca.
To download the Travel Smart mobile application, please visit Travel.gc.ca/mobile.
Additional press materials are available at Media Kit.
A backgrounder follows.
Follow us on Twitter: @DFAIT_MAECI
Backgrounder - Travel.gc.ca
As part of the Government of Canada's new approach to online services and accessibility, all federal government international travel content and services have been merged into Travel.gc.ca. This single thematic website is an authoritative and comprehensive source of information for Canadians travelling or living abroad, and includes an interactive map of the exact location of Canadian government offices abroad with complete contact information.
Travel.gc.ca integrates regularly updated content and resources from 11 government partners to help Canadians easily and efficiently find the information they need to make informed decisions about international travel.
The following are some of the many topics covered in Travel.gc.ca.
Mobile application, Twitter and Facebook
Canadians can stay connected to Canada and access the most up-to-date travel-related information wherever they may be through the Travel Smart mobile web application, and the Travel.gc.ca Twitter and Facebook channels, RSS feeds and email updates.
Travel documents, passports, consent letters
The site provides continually updated information on a range of travel documents, such as passports, visas, certificates of Canadian citizenship, international driving permits, consent letters for children travelling alone, the Canadian International Health Certificate for Travelling Pets, as well as pre-boarding identification requirements.
Country advice and advisories
Through Travel.gc.ca and the Travel Smart mobile application, Canadians at home and abroad can access travel advice and advisories on safety and security, local laws and customs, entry requirements, health conditions and other important travel issues in destinations around the world. Subscribers to the Travel.gc.ca Twitter and Facebook channels receive the latest travel advice updates, emergency contacts and crisis information, as well as other information Canadians need to travel safely.
Returning to Canada
Travel.gc.ca offers information on what is required when returning to Canada from abroad, which items and products can and cannot be brought into Canada, and duty and taxes.
Registration of Canadians Abroad
By visiting Travel.gc.ca, Canadians can access Registration of Canadians Abroad, a free, confidential service that keeps Canadians connected to Canada in case of an emergency abroad, such as an earthquake or civil unrest, or informed about an emergency at home.
What to pack
Preparation is the key to successful travel, and Travel.gc.ca features information and services that will save travellers time and energy. Before starting to pack for a trip abroad, Canadians should visit the "What to Pack" page, which lists what can and cannot be packed in carry-on and checked baggage. They will save time and ensure a smooth airport security screening process by "packing smart."
Border wait times
Canadians who drive home from the United States should visit Travel.gc.ca to save time by checking the list of wait times at Canada-U.S. border stations from coast to coast. They can also do so before leaving on a trip to the United States.
Travel health
Preparation is the key to healthy travel. Travel.gc.ca offers information to Canadians on how to stay healthy as they travel anywhere in the world. The website offers the latest travel health updates and disease fact sheets, as well as information on vaccinations, travelling with prescription medications, coping with a medical emergency abroad and getting help from Canadian offices abroad.
Airport security screening and wait times
By visiting Travel.gc.ca, Canadians can also check the list of airport security screening wait times before leaving for the airport to make sure they have enough time for the screening process.

CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago-area transportation agency on Wednesday alleged that some of the nation's largest and best known companies including AT&T, Sears Holdings Corp., Verizon and Target are running "sham" offices as part of a scheme with two small northern Illinois communities to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes in Chicago and Cook County.
The Regional Transportation Authority released the names of companies or their subsidiaries that it contends have dozens of small offices in Kankakee and Channahon — some upstairs from a cash for gold business and a hair braiding shop — where it says little if any work is done and often nobody so much as answers a knock on the door. And in many cases, according to the RTA, there are no signs on the street or office directories in the buildings that identify these companies as tenants.
"Whatever work they are doing is just enough to create a sham office in order for these sales transactions to be cited to these cities," said Jordan Matyas, the RTA's chief of staff. "In some places you have 20 companies procuring millions of dollars in goods from these offices where there is minimal staff doing minimal work."
The release of the names Wednesday is the latest chapter in a legal battle between the RTA and small communities over tax incentive programs that the agency characterizes as a scam and the communities defend as sound and legal strategies that provide funds they desperately need to provide city services.
The communities say their tax incentive programs are a perfectly legal way to take advantage of the fact that their sales tax rates are lower than those in and around Chicago.
"They have higher taxes and they're blaming us," said Kankakee's assistant city attorney, L. Patrick Power.
Some companies the RTA names, including AT&T, Sears Holdings Corp.,and Verizon said they have done nothing wrong and are following Illinois tax laws.
"Given the millions of dollars that go uncollected each year in violation of applicable sales and use taxes, we believe a focus on companies that don't comply with applicable sales and use tax law is more appropriate than a focus on those of us who do," Sears Holdings Corp. spokesman Howard Riefs said in a statement, adding that the company "no longer seeks or receives any benefits from Kankakee ..."
Target Corp. issued a statement saying the company closed its Kankakee office in October 2010 but declined to comment further.
In 2011, the RTA, the city of Chicago and Cook County sued Kankakee and Channahon, with the RTA following that lawsuit with another one this year against the community of Sycamore and United Airlines. All the lawsuits alleged that the communities are luring companies there by offering deals that call for them to share a portion of the sales tax with the companies through a rebate, costing Chicago and Cook County tens of millions of dollars. The RTA has not sued any of the approximately 70 companies that it says has entered into the tax rebate agreements with Kankakee or Channahon.
The RTA, which relies on sales tax revenues for much of its funding to oversee three Chicago-area mass transit agencies that provide more than 2 million rides a day, said it needs the money to keep the trains and buses running. The agency also said it is entitled to the funds because the arrangements between Channahon, Kankakee and Sycamore amount to little more than an effort to dodge taxes.
The RTA obtained the names of the companies through Freedom of Information Act requests, and Matyas said a judge issued an order late last week that allows the RTA to release the names to the public.
"We are pushing this case in both the courts and in Springfield because we need Springfield to understand how widespread of a problem this is and how many companies and how much money is involved," he said.
Officials in the communities say they're confident that they will prevail. The village manager of 13,000-resident Channahon, Joe Pena, said a trial court and appellate court have already ruled against the RTA in a similar case involving a small oil company that relocated its sales office outside of Cook County to take advantage of the lower taxes. The RTA hopes to argue the case before the state Supreme Court this summer.
"It's interesting that they are referring to the sham offices in Channahon and they referred to Hartney Oil's office as a sham office," Pena said of the RTA. "The courts have said that's not the case and has ruled against the RTA."

View PSEA's InteractiveLiving Wage Map
A living wage provides the minimal annual income needed to meet an individual's or family's basic needs, including the payment of all applicable federal, state and local taxes, without relying on either public or private assistance. Estimates of the annual income required for a "living wage" assume that the employer provides health care coverage – which is not true for many ESP members.
A living wage can be compared to a floor, not a ceiling! A living wage does not include any amount for savings (for retirement, education or any other purpose) or any provision for insurance (such as renter's insurance) or for luxury items, such as eating a meal outside of the home.Learn More about Living Wage:

This is not happening
I know we all wanted it to after the wedding just because, in the basest, basest terms, you could totally picture Hot Harry on a Horse getting down with Pippa Middleton's tight, taught, perky ass in that white silk bridesmaid gown, right? Come on now. At the root of it all is always Sex. And we wanted Pippa and Harry to have sex. Or we wanted to believe in the possibility of them having sex. And this is why the tabloids keep insisting that "they're almost dating" which is maybe the dumbest headline ever because what, exactly, is "almost dating"?
Unfortunately, according to Harry, he and Pippa are not happening. Harry was apparently overheard at an event this weekend telling people that:
"Pippa? Ha! No, I am not seeing anyone at the moment. I'm 100 per cent single. I'm working a lot at the moment, so dating and watching TV are the last things I have time for."
Here's the thing about Pippa – she, like, races triathlons and trains and gets all fitnessy all the time. There's a discipline that's required in those kinds of activities. I would know. I am surrounded by friends and family who are constantly marathon-ing and competing. It is STRUCTURE. And it's not exactly the kind of lifestyle we all know Hot Harry likes to enjoy. This is why Chelsy was his mate.
Chelsy though doesn't seem to be part of the action right now either. This is the way it is with those two. As I've said often, she's his Camilla.
I'm curious though, per Hot Harry's quote, what he considers "work" when he's "working a lot"? Playing polo and presenting some trophies? Remember, he hasn't quite shipped off to Afghanistan yet. Apparently Harry is considering making polo his official profession when he gets back from his tour of duty over there. Have you ever indulged in Jilly Cooper's books about horse people? That's totally Harry.
And then what? Will there be time for love?
Hopefully by then Leonardo DiCaprio will have tired of Blake Lively. And then...it's the Gossip Wish I've been trying to sell you on: Blake and Hot Harry. And then Hot Harry sneaks around with Chelsy. And their text messages are published! And Blake goes on tv and calls out Chelsy's busted face!
Please. PLEASE if ever there was a Gossip Genie... I want this so bad.

Historial de Versiones de FrostWire 4.17.2
- Fixes a newly introduced bug in Windows which would make FrostWire(tm) take over the .bittorrent file association without asking the user.
- Reduces DHT network load. The LimeWire team found out that the Mojito "store forwarding" feature would not provide extra data availability, so it's been turned off from the DHT on all new FrostWires.
- FrostWire.ico has been updated. Now when FrostWire(tm) is associated to .bittorrent files, .bittorrent files will use the FrostWire(tm) icon.

Smart Phone vs. Computer – Which Device Do You Use for Facebook? [POLL]
More and more people are getting smart phones. So, it makes sense that more people are using their phones to see what's happening on Facebook.
According to a new report from comScore:
Facebook users spent an average of 441 minutes — or 7 hours, 21 minutes — accessing the social network via smartphones during the month. By comparison, users spent 391 minutes — or 6 hours, 31 minutes — checking out Facebook on PCs.

Chocolate Almond Coffee Cake Ring
Saturday, January 6, 2008
It's time for our Saturday morning coffee hour open houses, which we've been doing for over ten years now. Every Saturday morning in January, Jim goes to a bakery and buys a bunch of doughnuts. Most Saturday mornings, I make something else. Sometimes it's more popular than the doughnuts, and sometimes not. Today it was a hit.
I had intended to make Danish, using Rose's recipe from The Pie and Pastry Bible. But the more I read the directions, the more scared I got. They're a lot like making croissants, only more complicated--and it was hard enough to get up my nerve to make croissants (although they actually turned out quite well).
But when I fell victim to Danish-cowardice, I decided that I should at least try something a little bit snazzy. I remembered that my friend Karen had been talking about the coffee cake rings that our mothers used to make, where you roll up the dough, fill it with something, and snip the dough into sections, turning the filled part up. I looked on the internet for something like that, and the first recipe I came across was the almond-chocolate version from Cooks Country. Cooks Country is kind of a down-home version of Cooks Illustrated--a little too down-homey for me, but this recipe sounded intriguing, and, with a filling of chopped bittersweet chocolate, cream cheese, and almond paste, a little more interesting than the rolls my mother used to make.
After you spread the filling on the nice buttery dough, which you've rolled into a rectangle about 9" by 18", you roll up the dough.
Then you turn the rectangle into a ring, and make about ten or eleven partial cuts through the dough.
After you've made the cuts, you gently turn the sections so you can see the chocolate-almond filling on top.
So far, so good. I really don't have a Martha-Stewartish artistic, decorative touch, which is one reason I prefer bread to most other baked products. If breads are going to be beautiful, they do it on their own. They don't require symmetrical arrangements of fruit, like some pies, and they don't need to be deftly iced. They just need to be taken out of the oven. A lot can go wrong with a coffee cake like this. The filling can ooze out and burn, for example. You can cut too deeply into the coffee cake so that it falls apart instead remaining in lovely slices. You can make a mess out of the pieces when you turn them. You can glop on the frosting instead of drizzling it decoratively. None of that happened (except for the frosting glopping, and even that wasn't too bad).
People were very impressed with this outcome, even with the few blobs of frosting (I thinned it a bit and then it drizzled more easily).
My friend Bridget, who is an excellent baker, asked me where I'd bought it. I chose to take that as a compliment, even though I suppose she may have wondered if I'd picked it up at SuperAmerica. My neighbor Barb, a chef and caterer, said the dough was light and tasty. My neighbor Greg asked for the recipe. This week the homemade treat beat out the doughnuts. We'll see about next week.

Oh my gosh Marie, when I opened up you site and saw this picture I said "that's my Blooming Coffee Ring". Every Christmas and Easter this lovely bread is served as one of the desserts. The only difference is the filling - mine is a cinnamon-nut filling otherwise they look identical, with the icing drizzled all over. Your ring looks beautiful.
- Lewis said...
Those look amazing! I can see why they were such a hit!
- Melinda said...
I am wanting a slice of that cake action! I would choose the cake over the donuts this time.
Do you remember when I told you that it is difficult to get donuts here? Suddenly, since summer time, Krispy Kreme are everywhere!
In Tesco's, a shop in Reading. Their marketing people must read your blog, Marie.
That also looks tempting, are you going to post the recipe?
- evil cake lady said...
well i am just as nervous about rose's danish recipes as i am about her croissant! but this coffee ring looks delicious, yum!
- MyKitchenInHalfCups said...
Stunning! This is one shape/filling that is on my must try list. Yes, one of the reasons I love baking bread is the love you put in making it rewards you with beauty out of the oven.
- breadbasketcase said...
Yes, the cinnamon/nut combination is the one my mother used to make, and I loved that too. But the chocolate almond combination is quite good too.
Thanks! I made two rings and had only one piece left. Just as well or I would probably have eaten it.
Jim is of the opinion that Krispy Kremes are not real doughnuts. He's tried every doughnut shop in Minneapolis, and he now goes to one shop for the cake doughnuts and one shop for the raised doughnuts. He's definitely become a doughnut aficianado.
You should be able to get to the recipe by clicking on the underlined "almond chocolate ring." If that doesn't work, just google chocolate almond coffee cake, and you'll get the Cook's Country recipe.
I needed something like the 82-recipe challenge to force myself to make the croissants. I'm not sure how to force myself to try the Danish.
And sometimes even when you're in a snit, and not baking with very much love, the bread still turns out beautiful, which is very forgiving of it.
- pinknest said...
*gasp* i LOVE this. i love coffee rings like this, and CRAVE them. it looks so delicious.
- breadbasketcase said...
If you make this, you should really serve it wearing an apron. It's that kind of recipe.

Small businesses bearing up under flu threat
The flu can devastate a small business that depends on each and every employee to show up for work, and that is why Centrix of Shelton encouraged its 105 staffers to get their flu shots through its wellness program.
The company, which makes dental instruments, has been fortunate so far as the flu takes its toll on other businesses, said Centrix President William Dragan Jr.
"We have not had significant lost-work time due to illness so far this winter," said Dragan, whose father started the business in 1970. "Our goal is to help our employees improve their lives and, in the process, reduce lost-work days and hopefully lower health-insurance costs."
Dragan may have just been lucky because participation in the flu-vaccination offering in October was not as high as it could have been.
"We had 26 of 95 Shelton-based employees take advantage of our in-house flu clinic. I don't know if others got flu shots on their own," said Dragan, whose company offers an expansive wellness program for employees. "We emphasize wellness and healthy lifestyle for all employees, including having annual visits by the Griffin Hospital health van."
The Derby-based hospital's Occupational Medicine Center operates a van that travels to companies throughout the lower Naugatuck River Valley, providing health screenings and flu shots to their employees.
"We did it at 30 companies this year, starting in October," said Ken Roberts, spokesman for Griffin Hospital. "The flu can run into April. What's different this year is that people are contacting us even now about flu clinics. It usually ends in December."
The flu arrived earlier than normal in late 2012, he said, and there has been a slowdown in flu reports, according to Roberts, who said he knows of one landlord who paid for flu shots for his tenants' employees.
R.D. Scinto, a Shelton-based commercial real estate developer, made arrangements with the Occupational Medicine Center to provide shots for employees at the 38 commercial buildings he owns in the region. An estimated 1,500 workers participated.
Still, a flu shot isn't 100 percent effective because it doesn't block all influenza strains, Roberts said, urging people to wash their hands as much as possible even after getting a shot.
His recommendation comes as the state Department of Health reported Friday that 17 people have died from the flu in Connecticut this season, while there have been 3,248 confirmed cases of the illness. Of the eight counties, Fairfield County has the most confirmed cases with 902.
Management at Kimchuk, a Danbury-based electronics manufacturer, has taken steps to ensure that its employees are not a part of those statistics.
The Danbury office of the Visiting Nurse Association has been providing Kimchuk with flu vaccination services since 2009. Its staff visited the company on Oct. 4 to administer shots. As with other companies, it was on a voluntary basis, and nearly 80 of the 140 employees participated.
"We had a huge turnout this year," said Janet Cannon, the company's human resources manager, noting that since then Kimchuk has expanded its staff to about 200 since the visit. "We also have sanitizing dispensers throughout the building and have brochures on wellness at our bulletin boards."
The efforts may be paying dividends because Cannon said she has not seen an unusual number of absences.
That's good news because a study conducted by Pepperdine University's Private Capital Markets Project reveals that small businesses suffer more financially than a large company when an employee misses work.
"Our theory is that small businesses are already stretched thin. When people are sick they don't have coverage, and it could impact or stop their business," said Craig Everett, Ph.D., associate director of the Private Capital Markets Project. "They're missing deadlines and meetings. As manufacturing has transformed to leaner and leaner, this bites you on the bottom."
While the flu may not severely affect a company, that business -- particularly a small manufacturer -- could be affected when a supplier is hit by the illness, Everett said.
Chambers of commerce in the region, including the Stamford Chamber, said they have not heard reports of small businesses being hit hard by the flu.
But for those affected, it could mean a loss of business, said Barbara Seiter, vice president of the Stamford chamber.
"It's critical for them when they are running on a shoestring. It's critical for them when just one person is out," she said.
Catering businesses like David's Soundview Catering in Stamford are always conscious about illness spreading among their near-40 employees and customers, said Cassandra Owolo, events sales manager.
"We're constantly washing and sterilizing anyway, despite the flu. We wash our hands so many times a day, its crazy," she said, noting that one employee stayed home on Thursday and Friday because her children have the flu.
In Norwalk, Hannes Precision Industries, a seven-employee CNC Swiss screw machine shop, has learned to adjust over the years when a worker is out, as employees have learned to operate several machines.
"We've had a couple of days when people have been out. We work around that," said John Flaherty, operations manager. "It (flu season) may be a little worse this year."
The flu has not affected the small staff at Connections Public Relations in Westport, but it forced the firm to postpone one of its most anticipated events -- Wine, Women & Wisdom, a program which had been scheduled for Jan. 17 featuring author Lee Woodruff and speakers from the Yale Fertility & Endocrinology Center in Westport.
Typically, the event draws more than 150 people paying $45 per ticket.
"We were not sick, but we were concerned about the people coming. We were greatly affected by the flu," said Robin Scarella, co-owner of the three-member firm that hopes to host the event in May. "We kept finding people who wanted to come but didn't want to be with other people. People didn't want to use a credit card to reserve a spot because they thought they were getting sick. People don't want to shake hands."
That may not be a bad idea, based on the following recommendations from the Travelers Risk Control Team.
Employees should be urged to keep their hands clean, cover their mouths and nose when sneezing and avoid touching their eyes, nose or mouth.
Businesses should set up protocols for employees who are sick and urge them to stay home to prevent others from catching the illness.
They should make sure that employees have easy access to hand sanitizers, alcohol-based gels and water and hand soap, and purchase cleaning supplies to make sure the office is sterile.
Businesses should have a contingency plan, including a communications strategy to outline steps employees need to take to stay healthy and what to if they become infected, such as how to report to their manager or employer.

It may seem strange that programming, which has long been a bastion of exact algorithms behaving in precisely the same manner every time, occasionally turns to probability to solve some of its more difficult problems.
In some people's minds, algorithms should be proveably correct at all times and for all inputs (as with defect-free programming and formal methods). Probabilistic algorithms give up this property. There is always a chance that the algorithm will produce a false result. But this chance can be made as small as desired. If the chance of the software failing is made smaller than the chance of the hardware failing (or of the user spontaneously combusting, or whatever), there's little to worry about.
The Dining Philosophers Problem
Imagine a bevy of philosophers sitting around a large, round table. In the middle of the table is a bowl of spaghetti. Between each pair of philosophers is a single fork. (If you prefer your philosophers Chinese, substitute a bowl of rice and a single chopstick.) All these philosophers do is one of two things: think and eat. (They already have tenure, so publishing is not important.)
To eat, they need to use the fork on either side of them, which they can only pick up if their neighbor isn't using it. (Hygienists are requested to keep their hangups to themselves.) There is no communication between the philosophers. (Arguments are not conducive to their digestion.) Is there any protocol that can be implemented to ensure that all the philosophers can eat, and that none ever dies of starvation? Imagine that the philosophers have this simple eating protocol:
IF hungry REPEAT (take left fork if available) UNTIL (holding left fork) REPEAT (take right fork if available) UNTIL (holding right fork) REPEAT eat UNTIL NOT hungry (drop right fork) (drop left fork)
This is all well and good. When philosophers are hungry, they start grabbing forks. When they have both of them, they start eating. When finished eating, they drop both forks. No problem, until everyone gets hungry at the same time. In that case, everyone grabs for their left forks and waits for their right fork to become available. But since that fork has been grabbed by another philosopher, the system locks up forever. All the philosophers starve while waiting for the colleague on their right to drop his or her fork. In fact, you can prove that any deterministic algorithm for the philosophers has the potential to lock up the system. There are solutions that involve additional resources: buying more forks, limiting the number of philosophers at the table so there is always an empty seat, or hiring a waiter to make sure that everyone gets the chance to eat. Some solutions also require each philosopher to follow a different algorithm. But no fully distributed, fully symmetric solution to the problem exists that does not involve additional processors. To solve the problem we need something more.
D. Lehman and M.O. Rabin found that something more in probability. Each philosopher randomly picks up either the left fork first or the right fork first and drops the fork if the other is not available. The procedure is repeated until the philosopher has both forks. Then he or she eats until content and drops both forks. This method ensures that every philosopher gets the chance to eat. Although theoretically possible, in reality, no philosopher will ever starve:
IF hungry (flip a coin to choose left or right at random) IF left THEN REPEAT (take left fork if available) UNTIL (holding left fork) ELSE REPEAT (take right fork if available) UNTIL (holding right fork) IF (other fork is available) THEN (pick up other fork) REPEAT eat UNTIL NOT hungry (drop left fork) (drop right fork) ELSE (drop fork) (exit and re-enter procedure)
Big deal, you might rightly say. We now know how to hold dinner parties for philosophers. Send your solution off to Miss Manners. What in the world does it have to do with programming?
Plenty. This kind of problem comes up all the time in computer networks, where different processors compete for shared resources. How do you make sure that every processor can access a file server or printer in such a way that the system doesn't lock up? Probabilistic algorithms.

Approximately 407,000 American service men and women died while serving in World War II (WWII), including 292,000 battle-related deaths and 115,000 other deaths. The total includes 79,000 who were missing in action and never recovered. Another 672,000 suffered non-fatal wounds. This is the WWII Disabled American Veterans card of Frank R. Dahowski, Jr. (1910-1988). Frank was employed by the Luey and Abercrombie grocery business of Greenfield before enlisting in 1942. During WWII he was an Army sergeant; due to his permanent debilitating war-time injury, he left the service as a disabled veteran, unable to work when he returned home. This card entitled Frank to medical and financial benefits.

http://mmajunkie.com Hector Lombard (29-2-1) is headed back to his second home.
Sources close to negotiations today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that the Bellator middleweight champion has received permission to take a fight against "The Ultimate Fighter 7" veteran Jesse Taylor (19-6) late this summer.
The bout is targeted for an Australian Fighting Championship event expected for Aug. 27, likely in Melbourne, Australia. The promotion's broadcast plans are unknown at this time.
Lombard most recently was seen in the cage this past month at Bellator 44, where he knocked out Falaniko Vitale in a non-title bout. The two got off to a very slow start while circling each other for two rounds without much offense. Lombard, though, eventually landed a crushing right hand.
The Cuban native has defended his Bellator belt once with a decision victory over Alexander Shlemenko at Bellator 34. He also holds the middleweight title in the Australia-based Cage Fighting Championship and has defended it seven times during an unbeaten streak that's stretched nearly four years.
An emigrant to Australia from his native country, Lombard, a former Olympian in Judo, spends the bulk of his time in Coconut Creek, Fla., where he moved several years ago to train with American Top Team.
Taylor, meanwhile, enjoys a five-fight win streak that includes a win under the AFC banner. He most recently dispatched UFC and PRIDE vet Denis Kang at "Battlefield Fight League 8: Island Beatdown" this past month and defeated former UFC middleweight champ Murilo Bustamante 11 months before at "Impact FC 2: The Uprising 2."
Since his release from the UFC in 2008, Taylor has gone 13-3 while shuffling between welterweight, middleweight and even light heavyweight.

LU alumnus brings message of love
Dr. Randy Rebold, LU alumnus and seven-time Emmy award winning songwriter and producer, energized Monday morning convocation with a talk on Christian love.
"We are the body. The Jesus in me loves the Jesus in you," he said. "But He tells me that I should tell you (I love you) … we're not even doing that. Let's start communicating that we love one another."
He said he did not learn this from his family, who shied away from affection, but from his wife. He learned to say those three words and eight letters, "I love you," and not have to "qualify it."
Rebold graduated from LU in 1976 with a degree in youth work and was ordained in 1980 at Thomas Road Baptist Church. He is the president/founder of Primary Focus, an organization that sends teams of college-aged young people to perform musical assemblies at elementary schools throughout the United States. The teams teach positive choices and key principles to building character. When Primary Focus is not in schools, it is performing as Living Proof, with a contemporary Christian concert format, at churches.
Rebold's organization, based out of Knoxville, Tenn., has a need for more people who are willing to spend a year in service. In exchange, he said, students will be able to attend a year at Liberty tuition-free (or enroll in DLP classes free). For more information on Primary Focus, go to www.primaryfocus.org.
