Federal law allows states to create new welfare policies determining who can receive welfare, what types of clients are exempted from new welfare work requirements, and the value of cash benefits. This project tests nine different theoretical explanations of welfare policy to explain why states have reacted differently to this new authority. We test these explanations on Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) policies promulgated between 1997 and 2000. Our findings confirm the strong role of race in TANF politics that Soss et al. (2001) recently reported, but we also find that other constituent characteristics, and institutions, paternalistic goals, and state resources have a consistent influence on welfare policy. These results indicate that different approaches to welfare are attributable to the unique, and very potent, combination of political characteristics in each state.

text: San Diego, California: August 11-15, 2011 as told by andrea I never wrote a warstory for any of the previous four VGC events I went to, but finally decided that the fifth event was worthy enough. The VGC 2011 metagame came to a close in San Diego this past weekend and I was lucky enough to attend Worlds this year with Chad. Because I have a monopoly on the most VGC pictures from Worlds, I decided to finally reveal them to the public via this warstory. Preface: I suppose I'm finally a familiar face around Smogon by now. I attended Nationals last year and have risen as a popular wifier for giving out free shiny VGC mons to competitors this year and last. I have had a pretty dreadful VGC season this year. In DC, I made it to round three. In Newark I lost round one to a very unfortunate match-up. Nats LCQ I made it to round two. After so many disappointing events I thought that it would be fun to go try one last time but ultimately watch and cheer on everyone else in Worlds. The main reason to go would be to take a fantastic vacation to California and also to see everyone one last time before VGC 2012. Chad and I managed to catch some discounted plane tickets to California and TTS was amazing enough to offer space in his free room. With finances in check, Chad and I were ready for our trip to California. Before we go straight to the event, lets meet our main characters! Andrea "andrea" Shaffer Description: Our protagonist. Stereotypical naive blonde but also a girl on the internet! Original resident chicka that hangs with the boys. Chad "Magnus" Skoch Description: The brawny man himself; tears up the court no matter the sport. Huy "Huy" Ha Description: Burnt out after a rough season. Still pretty ballin' either way. There's a new dynasty in town, amirite? Duy "Bianca222" Ha Description: Hoopster extraordinaire and hard-core America fan. Always down for a good time. Len "Alaka" Deuel Description: Tall, skinny, and able to abide by all correct traffic laws even when the other cars DON'T. Scott "Synre" Glaza Description: One pretty bad dude. Orders bottles of pop and doesn't get them opened. Orders endless lunch but finds the end. Able to trick waitresses into second-guessing what kind of guy he really is. Alan "Dubulous" Sutterlin Description: Another baller. One awesome substitute guardian when you can't trade in games if you're under the age of eighteen! Kathleen "Age of Kings/AoK" Description: Holy goodness another girl on the internet! Knows the best local places to go and is oodles of fun no matter the situation. Danny "TTS" Zollner Description: Best roommate ever. Best person ever period for providing San Diego housing. Carries his trusty laptop wherever he can and able to provide superb commentating skills while streaming. Mike "OmegaDonut" Suleski Description: America's last hope and honorary Ha brother number three. Excellent double date partner. There are about 40 more characters that I don't have pictures for, so stay tuned for shout-outs at the end. ;) Chapter One: Thursday, August 11, 2011 My flight with Chad left Pittsburgh at 3:30 PM, so we left around noon because we were extremely anxious for our first plane ride ever. We landed in Newark at 4:45, just missing seeing ExpertEvan board his flight to San Diego. Instead of getting on with him, our tickets had us sit around in boring Newark til 7 before we went on a 6 hour flight to San Diego. Pics from the airports & plane rides! (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Pics from the airports & plane rides! (open) Pics from the airports & plane rides! (close) Anxious before our first flight. First flight EVER for both of us! Lovely clouds. <3 Huy was kind enough to pick us up once our plane arrived at 10 PM. PBB shouted out the window to flag us down and "Sixonesix" helped us get our bags into the trunk. We made it to the hotel shortly and headed up to Ray Rizzo's room where most Smogonites were already socializing. The room was quite crowded, so we tried to contact TTS and get into the hotel room where we would be staying, however… TTS would not answer his phone! We went down to the room anyways in case he was sleeping; Chad banged on the door, also yelled "housekeeping!" in a girly voice for good measure, but there was no answer. We gave up and went back to Ray's room. About twenty minutes later TTS called to say that he was in the room and was apparently a very very heavy sleeper. He let Chad, Synre, Huy, Duy and I in and we eventually went to bed. Chapter Two: Friday, August 12, 2011 The three hour time zone adjustment really didn't help out for sleeping. I know I was up for sure by 6:30. Chad and I got up, got ready, and went to Starbucks for some breakfast before heading over to the Juniors & Seniors LCQ. There we met up with a whole lot of Smogonites; some new faces and some old ones! We watched Jeremy/AlphaOmega and kamz make it through the LCQ but also watched as Maski get knocked out. I had a ton of last minute trading to do with some fellow Masters LCQers, but afterwards it was time to check out the hotel! Trading with Sixonesix... Trading with Len and PBB! We found this fantastic Pokémon With You promotion that asked for notes and/or artwork for earthquake victims in Japan. Chad and I were the first to create pictures and they let us hang them up on the wall. We got an Oshawott and Snivy hat for contributing artwork. Chad hard at work coloring his Tepig. Our pictures displayed on the wall! There was also some lovely card artwork enlarged and on display by the LCQ registration line. We even got our first pictures with the inflatable starters (even though this was our fourth event this year). Card artwork and Chandrea with the starters. (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Card artwork and Chandrea with the starters. (open) Card artwork and Chandrea with the starters. (close) It was time to get in the LCQ line, but not before Ultimatedra gave me a fantastic present. I had mentioned how much I loved the competitor shirts earlier, so he gifted me with this super amazing XXXXXXL shirt that, well… I'm not sure what I'm going to do with! It might turn into a pillow because the artwork is so gorgeous. A staff member passed by and said that the shirt looked great on me and he asked for a picture. 6XL for the win. He said it looked good on me! Afterwards there wasn't much more to do but sit and wait for the line to move. We got in line around 11 and registration didn't even start til 1, but there was plenty of time for practice battles. We sat with AoK and played the people around us to get ready for the event. Vicky, Lauren, and Mike "OmegaDonut" Suleski waiting in line. ExpertEvan *cough*Jeff*Cough* and Shinkou waiting in line, too! Soon enough, registration began and we sat down at our round one tables. AoK was paired versus a guy she played in line earlier, I was across from a very friendly guy we had also been next to in line, and Chad was led away to another table versus a Japanese father. Ohmygosh. Guys. My first ever legitimate warstory. My Team Hank (Musharna) @ Leftovers Nature: Modest EVs: 252 HP/252 SpA -Trick Room -Helping Hand -HP Fighting 70 -Psychic Dean (Vanilluxe) @ Nevermeltice Nature: Brave EVs: 252 Atk/252 HP -Ice Shard -Icicle Spear -Substitute -Explosion Dr. Venture (Zoroark) @ Focus Sash EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe Nature: Adamant -Night Slash -Sucker Punch -Counter -Protect BrokSamson (Conkeldurr) @ Sitrus Berry EVs: 252 HP/196 SpDef/Everything else in Attack Nature: Careful -Mach Punch -Drain Punch -Payback -Protect Level 48 <3marn0rz (Amoonguss) @ Lum Berry EVs: 252 HP/126 Def/126 SpDef Nature: Relaxed -Protect -Rage Powder -Spore -Giga Drain TheMonarch (Jellicent) @Water Gem EVs: 252 HP/252 SpA Nature: Quiet -Water Spout -Shadow Ball -Protect -Trick Room My team is fun and guess what else… It doesn't have standard garbage on it! (Well, except maybe Amoonguss.) The metagame sucks this year with everything speed-tying and being the same, so why not use different stuff and have some fun? My favorite combo became Musharna/Amoonguss in the front with Zoroark as the third slot and Conkeldurr in the back. This is significant because Zoroark can be disguised as your last pokemon! I loved swapping him in and taking a couple psychic attacks as my opponent blindly stared into space, wondering why Conkeldurr wasn't getting hit. It seems that once most people deduce that Zoroark isn't leading, they think he doesn't exist. Even better than using him as the third slot was swapping out a lead for my fourth slot, then switching in Zoroark as Musharna or Amoonguss. Your opponent gets really confused. Round One Round One Pics (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Round One Pics (open) Round One Pics (close) Kathleen with our good luck charms. <3 Me with the good luck charms! (Stolen from AoK. <3 <3) Synre giving his opponent the stink-eye! So my opponent was really friendly beforehand and I started out Amoonguss/Musharna versus Volcarona/Haxorus. I went for some STAB Ice Shards while trying to Trick Room or something but this Haxorus was bulky as heck! It was taking 12-25% from ice cream. I asked if his Haxorus was bulky and he said that he EVd it very carefully to take minimal damage. Volcarona was taking maybe 20% from Psychics and I asked again why he only EVd in his defenses. He laughed and said he had an HP boosting nature (at which I laughed on the inside, n00b). He ended up 4-0ing me with his bulky stuff but I had to call for a hack check during the last couple turns. He assured me that he caught the stuff himself and doesn't hack and gave his girlfriend thumbs up when he won as we both waited on Marilland to come over. I felt terrible on the inside, but I would have felt worse if I let a hacker get away with knocking me out of the LCQ and I was sure that there was no way his stuff could take that little from my attacks. In the meantime, AoK beat her opponent and moved on to round two. Finally Marilland came over and took my cart- I was clean of course! He pops in my opponents game and goes "Ohhh… well there it is!" His leads had 600 EVs in every stat. >_> Round Two I sat beside AoK again and she had to play Mrs. Arnold! A guy about my age came over and we chatted about how we were happy to make it past round one. I don't remember much of the battle… I do believe I won 3-0. Me versus a very nice guy and Kathleen versus Mrs. Arnold! Round Three The staff member led me to a television screen. Soon enough, I saw an SPF member come over and sit down. It was Tween Star! I was prepared for a tough match, and it sure was! Let me give a nice summary. Turn one, his Thundurus Thunder Waves and Fully Paralyzes my Musharna as I attempt to Trick Room. I Protect Amoonguss against a Psychic from opposing Musharna. Turn two, Musharna is again fully paralyzed. I switch Vanilluxe into a critical hit Psychic to save my shroom (it would have survived the Psychic Gem otherwise) and Musharna is Fully Paralyzed. Turn Three I Protect Shroom versus another Psychic and Musharna finally gets Trick Room up! Turn Four I attempt to Spore the Musharna but I think he switches? My Musharna is Fully Paralyzed again and Thundurus Thunder Waves my Mushroom for another Full Paralysis. Turn Five I attack his mons but mine die to a crit something and I don't remember. Blah blah blah end of match- I lose to 6 FPs and 2 crits on things that mattered overall. Not bad for my last VGC 2011 match! <3 Round three is starting! Thinking hard. What most of my match looked like! I congratulated Tween Star and wished him luck onto his journey to the Top 8, hoping the hax gods remained on his side. If anything, I'm glad I lost to hax (and yes, folks, this is what real legitimate hax looks like) instead of me losing for being a lousy player. There was nothing I could do nor Tween Star to prevent the outcome, and I was sad to see him get knocked out round four. =[ Also also I am tired of seeing people say they lose to hax in their warstories just because they were outplayed and there was one minor flinch or critical hit on something that doesn't change the outcome of the game. If you would like a video tutorial on hax, go watch champ Ray Rizzo's round two Finals match! [/rant] Anyways, I was glad that my match was on TV so others can attest to the lousy match I had. Chad and I watched as fellow Ducks and Smogonites made their way into the top 12 and then the top 8 after byes were given out. Congrats go out to fellow Ducks OD, tad38, and Sixonesix! =D Round Four matches. Right before the top 12 matches. After all the matches concluded, we socialized with our fellow internet friends before heading out to lunch. Chad, Synre, Dubs, and I hopped into Alaka's car and drove to Lucha Liebre, a Gourmet Taco Shop that Paul "makiri" Hornak had seen on Man vs. Food. Alaka's car and/or driving skills were officially dubbed Mario Kart during the first five minutes of the ride. (We still love you, Len! Thank you for being a wonderful driver all weekend. <3) Of course, we were the first to arrive and stand in line. (This became a reoccurring theme for Len/Chad/Andrea.) The rest of the Smogon crew eventually showed up. I ordered a quesadilla and Chad ordered the Surfin' California burrito which was quite a work of art and also extremely delicious. We crammed three tables together and talked about the morning's events and tomorrow's tournament. Greyson "Greysong" Garren bought a pink Lucha Liebra shirt and Paul attempted to buy one of the Luchadore masks. It was a fantastic meal! Everyone else getting in line. Delicious burrito and quesadilla! Greysong's pink shirt! Heading towards making history... the first ever organized athletic activity Smogon has ever seen... Basketball. Yes, the first time our group allotted time for sports at a Smocon. We drove Dubs to his hotel to change into his clothes and it was really amusing. Alaka knew where Dubs' hotel more than he did and even though we all pointed out which way he would have to walk down the street to get into the building, Dubs still went the wrong way. Twenty seconds after he got out of the car we all heard some feet running and looked to the right to see Dubs sprinting down the sidewalk towards the front door. Pretty funny stuff! At the court, we met up with some familiar faces. AoK, Supe, Synre, gec and I all sat and watched on the sidelines. There was a five minute warm-up period where the boys tried to make a basket to qualify as team captain… It took quite some time but Chad and Tyler emerged victorious! Video: First Basket! Teams were chosen and pretty soon the spectators figured out why we play video games over sports. Video: Game One Begins Video: Team Selection for Game Two Video: Game Two Starts Video: On to Game Three!

The guys loved the cold water after playing basketball so hard, but I just sat in the hot tub and tried to stay warm. It started getting dark so Chad and I left to go to bed. California was amazing so far.

My wife and I had supper at the Eden restaurant. The food was above average, but not outstanding. I had the duck and found it a little on the tough side. My wife had the sea bass and said it was very good, but again not outstanding. BUT, the service was impeccable. Overall, it's a little pricey but well worth it.

Jim Hendry Fired
This is one of those times I wish I could adjust the headline size so it could fill the whole front page.
Anyway, ninja Hendry finally bit the bullet as Ricketts wasn't kidding when he said a major announcement was coming. Hendry says he was informed as of July 22nd that he wouldn't be retained for next year.
"He never missed a beat; it's a credit to his character that we were able to operate the way we did and get the job done," Ricketts said. "We had the trade deadline coming up and I didn't think it made any sense to change horses in mid-stream."
Followed by this little quip...
Hendry, 56, said Cubs Chairman notified him July 22 that he wouldn't be retained. He indicated that was one factor in deciding not to trade away veteran players at the deadline, figuring he should leave those decisions to his successor.
That, along with just naming Randy Bush as the interim sort of defeats the whole purpose of keeping him an extra month, but who am I to question the reasonings of billionaires.
Hendry conveniently leaves with a 749-748 record as a GM, I guess the gift of a winning record is better than a gold watch. Ricketts says the search for the new GM starts today (shouldn't it have started on July 22nd?) and it will be a private process and be a search outside of the organization. And that the new GM will report directly to Ricketts, rather than using Crane Kenney as a buffer.
It's step one of the process and for that I am glad. Unfortunately, it's really step two of the process where the real excitement or possible dissappointment lives.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
Playing "the kids" will probably help. No one wants to see Skinny Dick and Koyie Hill play, not even their mothers.
Along those lines, from Muskett:
Cubs pitcher Andrew Cashner, who threw 32 pitches in a live batting-practice session on Friday, is expected to begin a Minor League rehab assignment on Tuesday.
Cashner has been on the disabled list since April 6 with a strained right rotator cuff he suffered during his first and only start this season on April 5. Friday was his third live BP session.
If all goes well, the right-hander expects to be back with the Cubs on Sept. 1.
"That's what I'm shooting for," Cashner said. "[I want to] be ready to roll and ready to come right out of the bullpen."
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
I actually just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
Q-ball, "I'd love to get cashner in there but how am I suppose to sit Ramon Ortiz and grabow after all they've done for us."
actually Q-ball, now that his "inner voice" has been cut off from the Borg Collective has been stopped from having any thoughts.
Q-ball, "...background noise: Led Zep's, When the Levee Breaks..."

If Q-Ball starts cooking meth I wouldn't be surprised.

Re: Jim Hendry Fired
I think the time has come to stop worrying about what was and start worrying about what comes next. I don't know much about Josh Byrnes, so I looked him up.
I found this:
Carlos Gonzalez, Brett Anderson, Chris Carter, Aaron Cunningham, Dana Eveland, and Greg Smith to the A's for Dan Haren on December 14, 2007.
on wikipedia. Now, I was okay with the Garza deal, but this is insane...!
Anybody else scared of the Josh Byrnes possibility besides me?
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
i'm just waiting to see who it is before i even give a fuuuuuuuu...
i wanna know what's up with 3rd/RF/1st and 2 pitching slots...and how much money mr. unnamed has to work with.
it's not like there's a lot of system to trade away for anything that's going to be gold, but they probably can't fill all that without doing some trading.
whoever the GM is, they have a lot to do and the cubs should probably find out who it is and get them into the fold asap.
...also, i think josh b. made his bed with a slew of bad trades...as bad as that trade was, the trade that got rid of d.haren was also horrible. joe saunders for one of the best starters under a reasonable multiple-year contract...way to go. i dunno if anyone really wants him as a GM...at least i'd be shocked.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
I'm sort of stoked that Ricketts seems interested in a sabre guy, even though I've often disputed the absolutes that some people put on stats. Good, old school scouting is still important, but Ricketts seems aware of this, too. His emphasis on player development, and shrewdly keeping Hendry around to sweet talk the draftees was another thing I was impressed by. I don't buy the argument that all the draft picks would have signed no matter who was in charge, as one columnist I saw suggested. I saw a report that Dillon Maples was landed specifically because of Hendry's college recruiter like sales job on the Cubs. That shows huge class on Hendry's part, doing that after being fired, and smarts on Ricketts' part for knowing Hendry had the kind of character to do that kind of thing.
I, for one, thought Ricketts was an idiot up until a few days ago. Instead, he's starting to look like a pretty sharp suit.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
Yeah, Ricketts has changed a lot in the last few days!
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
i'm glad hendry is finally gone. and i'm not sure if my joy is anti-climactic or premature. it's only 1 move of a whole host of moves that need to be made.
crane kenney contributes nothing, and probably detracts from, the baseball operation. unless he miraculously pulls off a complete publicly financed wrigley renovation, he needs to be dispatched. if only to remove a potential roadblock for a genuine baseball president to interview and be hired.
quade is already a dead-man walking, no sense wasting words about it.
fleita has been around for eons. wilken has been around plenty long enough. they are both hendry guys. the only reason to keep them now is for continuity until the new full-time gm is interviewed and hired. then they need to walk the plank. i'm hoping ricketts' press conference vote-of-confidence is just as terminal for them as it was earlier this summer for hendry.
hendry's dismissal was the best well-kept secret i can recall. i am hopeful ricketts is playing possum when he says "the search can now begin". i am hopeful he has more good secrets, and will keep them well until september 30.
and then the demolition can truly begin. glad hendry has been dismissed, but it's only the first mile of the marathon.
also, good to see old-timers like manny trillo and 10 man jump in. all we need now is a little news from ruz.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
imo, fleita (notoriously cranky, yet mostly fair...) and wilken are pretty good baseball guys and cubs guys.
quade/crane...meh, *shrug* whatever...don't care either way whether they stay or go. quade has his supporters, but there doesn't seem to be anything he does especially well as a manager aside from not looking/acting like he's out of his league or lost.

Re: Jim Hendry Fired
this is old news (about the suspension) but the specific drug (methylhexaneamine, a stimulant) that got Cubs AA catcher, Luis Flores suspended, was reported in this link.
Luis Flores, playing with Double-A Tennessee, was suspended by Major League Baseball for 50 games after testing positive for Methylhexaneamine, a banned stimulant found in some energy drinks.
some info on the methylhexaneamine...
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
Ugh. These kids need to stay away from both energy drinks and the unregulated supplements. Maybe the Cubs need to install some offseason curricula on GNC and the drug testing policies. (They could create a course on hydration and energy while they are at it.)
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
they took away their adderall. everyone is sad...except the 10%+ of MLB that has a prescription. =p
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
Here's a reason why I think we should all be talking about how strangely unproductive Marlon Byrd has been:
Colvin's R/PA in 2011: .0696
Byrd's R/PA in 2011: .120
Colvin's RBI/PA in 2011: .101
Byrd's RBI/PA in 2011: .062
Colvin R/PA in 2010 and 2011: .130
Byrd R/PA in 2010 and 2011: .128
Colvin RBI/PA in 2010 and 2011: .130
Byrd RBI/PA in 2010 and 2011: .090
Meanwhile, Colvin has practically hit himself out of the majors, and Byrd's production hasn't been questioned by anyone in the mainstream media or in the front office. We could look at these numbers and say they are just runs and RBI, and absolutely agree that these often vary drastically, but I suspect that if we take a close look at Byrd's approach and what he actually brings to the table, we'll find that his batting average severely skews our perception of his actual value.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
I guess that is a more fair way of looking at it. Still, I'm awe-struck at Byrd's 2011. But I suppose that doesn't necessarily indicate that his overall game is as poor as I perceived it to be--he just hasn't driven in runs this year.
Colvin's skillset, I would argue, still proves him more offensively productive in 2010 and nearly so in 2011; they may have been close in driving in runners on base in 2010, but Colvin could drive himself in at any given time, and he also appears to be the better baserunner, and--remarkably--he's had a higher walk rate with the Cubs than has Byrd.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
I think that's probably why I find myself so annoyed by him. He'd be fine as the #7 hitter and if he and Fukudome hadn't kept Colvin from playing time in 2010 and to begin 2011.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
I think we can all agree that he's not the problem with the team. He shouldn't be batting 3rd unless he's in AAA, but he's still a really nice 4th outfielder or a "second division" starter.

Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...
I'm sorry - I was probably not looking at the correct line, or spot, or...who knows!
I could blame it on the weed, but I stopped smoking many years ago.
Fortunately, I can rely on the rest of you sober and astute folks to bring the correct info forth.
Oh yeah! It just felt like one for some reason.
Agreed. I was not including Fowler or Heyward.
I'm just not a fan of 2016 Coghlan.....
@Dusty Contreras if it's a Lester or Arrieta start. TLS is good PH too. You also forgot about Heyward, assume Fowler is CF.
I expect Soler to get optioned as well when activated and Cahill to replace Grimm. It wouldn't surprise me if Coghlan and/or Soler is included in a trade.
Maybe Coghlan is up to see if he can get on track before someone acquires him.
This move could also be to assure that we have as much OF depth as possible to maximize Joe's ability to rest players in September once we've clinched.
Maddon basically said as much...Fowler still kind of sore, they're being proactive, etc.
La Stella at 2B...Baez at 3B, or vice versa. Zobrist in RF, Bryant in LF No one gets bumped.
If Coghlan is leading off, I assume Fowler is getting the day off. Who is supposed to lead off, then? Someone has to get on base for Bryant and Rizzo. Coghlan's OBP is .346 with the Cubs. Jackson's was .304. LaStella can lead off, but then he has to play second or third, and bump Zobrist or Baez.
Unless he gets hot, Coghlan will likely change places with Soler soon.
I suspect the Cubs asked Chris Coghlan if he would accept an Optional Assignment to the minors and he refused (Coghlan has one minor league option left), so either you keep LaStella on the 25 and release Coghlan, or option LaStella to AAA for about a month and have both LaStella and Coghlan available in September-October. (As an Article XIX-A player, Coghlan must give his permission before he can be optioned to the minors, while LaStella has not accrued enough MLB Service Time to refuse an optional assignment).

The Tao of Linux Security: the Five Phases of a Secure Deployment
SSH is the standard remote access protocol in use on Linux systems today. In its default configuration, it has some settings that you definitely need to lock down. Add the following lines to /etc/ssh/sshd.config:
PermitRootLogin no X11DisplayForwarding no
The first line prevents root from logging in to the server via SSH, which never should be done. The second line disables X forwarding, which would allow users to launch an X session from your server. In the example case, X isn't installed, so this should not be a problem. You could lock down SSH further by chrooting it or using TCP Wrappers; however, due to space constraints, I have omitted those configuration steps.
Rather than go into a long discussion on the proper configuration of a a firewall, I have created the following script with comments to secure the Debian system. It restricts traffic (statefully) only to new SSH, HTTP and SSL connections. Change the IP address in this example to your server's address. For more details on the options available in iptables, consult the man page. When building your own firewalls, keep in mind the goal of shrinking the attack surface by opening only necessary ports in iptables:
#!/bin/sh PATH=/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin #FLUSH PREVIOUS TABLE ENTRIES iptables --flush #CHANGE DEFAULT POLICIES FROM #ACCEPT TO DROP iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -P OUTPUT DROP #ALLOW LOCAL LOOPBACK TRAFFIC iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT #ALLOW ESTABLISHED CONNECTIONS iptables -A INPUT -m state --state \ ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state \ ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT #ALLOW DEFINED TRAFFIC # #SSH - 22 iptables -A INPUT -d 192.168.1.2 -p tcp \ --dport 22 --sport 1024:65535 -m state \ --state NEW -j ACCEPT #HTTP - APACHE -80 iptables -A INPUT -d 192.168.1.2 -p tcp \ --dport 80 --sport 1024:65535 -m state \ --state NEW -j ACCEPT #SSL - 443 iptables -A INPUT -d 192.168.1.2 -p tcp \ --dport 443 --sport 1024:65535 -m state \ --state NEW -j ACCEPT
Save this script locally, and copy or move it to the /etc/network/if-up.d directory so that it runs when the network comes up after boot. If you want to apply this configuration on a Red Hat-based system, you simply could run the above script and use the iptables-save command to keep the rule set across reboots.
Although you could take these steps and many more, there is a tool that makes this process much easier, Bastille (Figures 7 and 8). Bastille uses question/answer responses to script your preferred security settings and apply them to the actual system. There also are a multitude of manual security checklists available for most distributions and applications that can be found on the Internet. Some of the best checklists are the benchmarks put out by the Center for Internet Security. These benchmarks contain detailed settings and descriptions of "best practices" relating to specific operating systems and popular applications. They are excellent companions to Bastille.
The last phase of the tao is an ongoing process. Regular monitoring of your system will verify that your security goals are being met over time. The most useful tool for this is built right in to the system, syslog. From the /var/log/messages file, you can view a variety of security-related information for both the system and some applications. Many applications use their own log files. Be sure to look through those as well. If you have multiple systems, you should use a central syslog server to collect the logs. This easily can be configured in the syslog.conf file.
A newer alternative to syslog is called Splunk (Figure 9). Splunk has both free (limited to 500MB daily) and enterprise versions. The nice thing about Splunk is its super-easy install, and you can search through logs using Google-like commands through a streamlined Web-based interface.
As useful as logs are, they do not provide a complete picture of how well your security is working. Only regular auditing can accomplish this. Doing so tells you if your security is still in place and functioning. I am not suggesting penetration testing for every system, but active testing of your settings is good insurance. Create checklists or scripts to test those settings that are important to maintaining your security goals. In lieu of a checklist, you could run Bastille using the --assess switch to get a security report of your current configuration. You also can use the CIS benchmarks (which rely on Bastille) as baseline checklists for an audit. If you can afford it, have an outside consultant come in and verify your security with his or her own tests to give you peace of mind, especially if you work in a heavily regulated industry.
Thanks a lot
Thank a lot, i thing this is wonderfull

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

TURF; Neighbors Think Outside the Block
Published: September 18, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
His group recently worked to secure historic designation for the Gansevoort Market neighborhood, where meatpacking warehouses intermingle with bars and chic boutiques. While historic designation will give the neighborhood some protection, only zoning can guarantee height restrictions for buildings outside the historic district.
Standing one day this week on the border of the district, where a 34-story hotel is planned, Mr. Berman raised his voice above the din of idling meat trucks. ''To say that it would stick out like a sore thumb would be a vast understatement,'' he said.
Without zoning controls, developers and architects ''just insert buildings as sculpture,'' said Simeon Bankoff, executive director of the Historic Districts Council, a nonprofit group that helps neighborhoods secure historic designation. Contextual zoning does not mean stopping development, he said, but ''looking at the place as a whole, as an ecosystem.''
Striking a balance within an ecosystem is not easy, all sides concede. ''If every place had contextual zoning, we would never have the Empire State Building or the Guggenheim, which are two of the most uncontextual buildings that there could possibly be,'' said Andrew Dolkart, an associate professor of historic preservation at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. ''Neighborhoods change, and somehow there has to be a balance between these things.''
Pressure to generate new housing is also felt by the planning department, which is ''focused on balancing growth with neighborhood preservation,'' said Rachaele Raynoff, a spokeswoman.
The scales tipped in favor of preservation recently when the city rezoned part of the South Street Seaport Historic District, making it impossible for developers of a proposed 400-apartment complex to proceed with their project. The City Planning Commission originally proposed lowering the height limit of new buildings in the area to 170 feet from 210 feet. Then, in April, the City Council voted to cut it down even more, to 120 feet. Last month a partnership controlled by the developer, Milstein Properties, sued the city.
James M. Yasser, the senior vice president of Milstein Properties, said the neighborhood would suffer. ''I'm not saying we were the panacea for the lack of economic activity over there, but building after building along those blocks has collapsed over the years,'' Mr. Yasser said. ''That's what happens when there is no economic stimulus in an older neighborhood.''
Proponents of the rezoning said Milstein had alternatives. ''You could have very nice and lucrative town houses,'' said Alan Gerson, a council member who lobbied for the council's zoning revision.
Of course, it is often the historic character of an up-and-coming neighborhood that attracts developers in the first place. One of the developers of the Fort Greene condominium, David Weiss, said he and his partners were drawn to ''the beauty and preservation and attention that the neighbors have given to their own community.''
That's precisely what angers residents on the streets that will abut the new building. ''This is our hard work that created this neighborhood,'' said Paul Palazzo, a lighting designer who has lived there since 1984.
It's not just the building itself that worries residents, but the kind of people the new condos are pitched to. ''The thing we love about Fort Greene is that it is mixed income,'' said Renee Turman, a 34-year-old renter who attended a meeting of residents in Mr. Palazzo's living room last week. The building, she said, ''is going to destroy that community because only one kind of person will be able to afford that kind of building.''
She and other neighbors are pressing the developer to change the building's facade to look more like other buildings on the street. ''We are asking for a sympathetic melding with that streetscape of 1850's town houses,'' Mr. Palazzo said. He and his neighbors would also like the building to be lower.
But that is unlikely, given the current rules, which would allow the building to rise even five stories higher than the developers plan. Under strict height restrictions, buying the land, which cost $3 million, ''would not have been worth it,'' Jonathan Jacobs, one of Mr. Weiss's partners, said.
Standing a block from the site of the protests on Monday, Mr. Jacobs said, ''We can't be living in the past here.'' Pointing at a seven-story home for the elderly built in 1929, he added, ''When this building was built, I am sure the people in all the brownstones said, 'Wow, look at this modern building.' ''

Czar Nicholas II- Background Information
- Born May 6, 1868 near St. Petersburg (1)
- Full name is Nikolai Aleksadrovich Romanov (1)
- Became Czar after his father died on October 20, 1894 (2)
- Crowned Czar May 14, 1896 (2)
- Married Alexandra Feodorovna and had five children (2)
- Struggled to hold power during the 1905 and 1917 revolutions (2)
- Japan attacked Russia in 1904-05 and over 400,000 men were killed by the attack (2)
- Czar Nicholas II always considered himself a military man and was a Colonel in the Life Guards (3)
Czar Nicholas' Failure
- Had many admirable qualities but he was seen as a failure (3)
- Very hesitant to come to conclusions which led to his failure (3)
- Entered World War 1 on August 1, 1914 and suffered a great loss (2)
- "Loss of territory, massive casualties and confusion at home were the main reasons for the second Russian Revolution in February 1917" (2).
- March 2, 1917 he was abdicated
- July 17, 1918 the royal family was shot and killed (2)
Czar Nicholas II and Mr. JonesIn the story "Animal Farm," Czar Nicholas II is represented by Mr. Jones, who was the main farmer of the Manor Farm.
- "Mr. Jones although a hard master, had been a capable farmer, but of the late he had fallen on evil days" (p.18). This quote helps prove that Mr. Jones represents the Czar because he was the master of the farm much like the Czar was the master of Russia.
- "When Mr. Jones got back he immediately went to sleep on the drawing room sofa with the News of the World over his face, so that when evening came, the animals were still unfed" (p.19). The quote here proves that Mr. Jones is Czar Nicholas II because when the Czar ruled Russia many people were poor and starved.
- "Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being butted and kicked from all sides" (p.19). This quote describes how Czar Nicholas II was taken from his power and forced to move to Ekaterinburg. It also shows the start of the rebellion.
- "Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannotrun fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals" (p.29). This quote refers to how Czar Nicholas II did not do much to earn his wealth and yet he still ruled everybody in Russia.
- "Mr.Jones of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the nigh, but was too drunk to remember to shut the popholes" (p.25). Czar Nicholas II was a bad ruler according to many and this quote shows that Jones was not doing what he should do as the leader of the farm.

This Woman Can Explain What's At Stake In Texas' Abortion Case
CREDIT: Bonyen Lee-Gilmore
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case that's being described as a "turning point" for abortion clinics. Depending how the justice rule, they could essentially reverse decades of progress under Roe v. Wade.
The case, called Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, challenges HB2 — a controversial Texas law that, if upheld, would give all states legal cover to shut down abortion clinics unless they comply with medically unnecessary restrictions. Pro-choice activists and lawmakers have protested the Texas law for months, upset that the Supreme Court would even hear such a case and afraid of the devastating impact this restrictive law could have on crucial women's health care.
Some women are already living that reality.
Jackie Casteel lives in Missouri, one of the 22 states that already imposes onerous restrictions on clinics. In fact, her state is home to some of the most oppressive laws in the country — easily comparable to Texas' HB2 — that have left the entire state with only one abortion provider.
These laws, known broadly as the "Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers," or TRAP, impose costly and unnecessary restrictions on clinics to limit access to abortion under the guise that they simply exist to improve women's health. But both the American Medical Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have come out against these laws because they aren't necessary for patients' safety — and, in fact, "jeopardize women's health by restricting access to abortion providers."
Casteel had an abortion in 2003. Though she struggled with the financial burden of paying for the procedure, and had to take days off work to make the appointment, she was lucky in one way. It was months before the state's TRAP restrictions became law. Today, Missouri women face even tougher obstacles blocking them from an abortion, like a mandatory 72-hour waiting period between a visit with an a doctor and the actual procedure. And this depends on if their abortion clinic hasn't been shuttered because its hallway was a few inches too narrow.
"I'm not sure if I would have gotten an abortion if the TRAP laws existed. I didn't have a job at the time. I can't imagine having to drive to a further clinic and pay for a hotel to wait 72 hours — it's already too expensive just paying for the procedure. I would have probably done something else," said Casteel, who now helps women advocate for their reproductive rights in Columbia, MO.
"I might have even tried a DIY approach if I couldn't see a doctor."
A study of the Texas law that's coming before the court this week confirms Casteel's point. Researchers found that many women couldn't afford to take time off to make a trip to the nearest clinic, forcing them to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term. Texas' law has even forced thousands of women to attempt to conduct their own illegal abortion.
Casteel came to Washington, D.C. to rally with other pro-choice supporters on Wednesday on the steps of the Supreme Court. It took her a decade before she opened up about her abortion story with coworkers and friends, and on the eve of the arguments, she admits she's still a bit nervous to talk about her abortion with others.
"Each time I tell my story is a little scary," Casteel said. "But I've realized how important it is to be brave and share. I know I won't be alone."
She said she wants her own story — and ones she's heard from other women living under Missouri's TRAP laws — to illustrate how this case's decision could play out across the entire country.
"This law could make it really, really difficult for people in the most need, like I was, to get a safe abortion," she said. "This is a personal decision, not a political one. There's a real person behind each story. That's why I need to share mine."
Casteel said she doesn't want to see women forced into raising a child when they aren't prepared. When she became pregnant at 19, Casteel said she was "being reckless" with her body. It was in no shape to nurture a growing fetus, let alone raise a child.
"I didn't want it. It wasn't the right time for me to be a parent at all," she said. "The biggest way to make change in our world is to give children what they need to be healthy and happy. Let's not leave that up to politics."

Product Description
From Booklist
*Starred Review* Captain Laurence had commanded a ship in the Royal Navy (see His Majesty's Dragon, 2006) but was relegated to the aviator corps after bonding with the hatchling from the dragon egg his ship found aboard a French prize his ship had seized. He and Temeraire, the hatchling, are a team now. In Throne of Jade (2006), the admiralty want sent Temeraire to China with Laurence. Temeraire is a Celestial, hence among the very finest of dragons. Indeed, Temeraire, or Lung Tien Xiang, is an imperial prince. At the end of Throne of Jade, the British party, including Temeraire, is free to return to England. In Black Powder War, urgent orders lead them overland to Turkey, where they encounter a vengeful Lung they had worsted in Peking. Laurence and Temeraire reach German lands in time for the battle of Jena, where they face Napoleon's corps, a ferocious French dragon, and the disgruntled Lung. Novik's magical eighteenth century, peopled with sympathetic characters, induces avid reading. Long may she write! Frieda Murray

Continued as well is a deepening of relationship between the main protagonists which highlights the biases and prejudices of one of them, which absent this foundation some of the future conflicts would not be as believable and illustrative of the dilemmas portrayed.
Novik demonstrates again why she is so effective in this genre. In a completely fictional fantasy setting, Novik draws the reader in to begin to see the themes and issues that were part of the actual human experience of that day and age. Never mind that the human experience is personified in a dragon!
This is yet another highly entertaining and readable offering that will not disappoint.
5 stars.

Of course the journey overland is hard, and involves a meeting with a large group of feral dragons-who turn out to be not so feral after all. While they tell Temeraire a soap opera story about dragons he continues on his quest to get better treatment, including city residences and pay, for the British dragons. Laurence is worried about such thoughts, because he knows that nothing like that will ever come to pass and he doesn't want Temeraire to desert for China and a better life.
Once in the Ottoman Empire there are problems, and the shadow of the mad and evil white Celestial dragon hangs over Laurence's head as she follows them west. Soon problems from Napoleon and the eggs overthrow any of Laurence's concerns about Temeraire, and everyone's lives are thrown into peril.
Temeraire really gets a personality in this book, and even Laurence's worrying and duty bound personality begins to improve. The feral dragons are a riot, and the action in this book is breathtaking. This one actually had me up all night reading, and it won't disappoint anyone who even sort of liked "His Majesty's Dragon" or "Throne of Jade". This book ranks an easy four stars, and the letter at the end of it, from an unknown person talking of the dragons as stupid beasts casts a great shadow of drama for future books, as does the prequel for the next.
Do not miss any of it. You will see how expertly the dragons are used in battle. How Lien, the outcast albino dragon, who lost her captain, the perfidious prince Yongxing (read THRONE OF JADE), defected to the side of the French, in order to effect a most ingenious revenge on Temeraire and Laurence.
Most noteworthy is the development of the dragon psyche. We are introduced to the feral dragons of the Turkish mountains . . dragons in their natural state who have never known the harness but consequently aren't that well-fed either. (Comic relief after a particularly intense journey through the desert). And Temeraire beg us to consider the emancipation of all dragons though his fascinating discussions with Laurence concerning the issues of choice and freedom. THere's also the dragon eggs themselves-- whose value-- figures a greal deal in all the books. How do the dragons feel about separation from their eggs?
5 Stars! (Some heartbreak in the fate of some members of Temeraire's crew.) I do so hate these moments when I have to whip out a hanky for characters in a Fantasy! But I guess that tells you how well-written this book truly is!
I look forward to more, Ms. Novik! Consider me a life-long fan!
While this theme is the most intriguing, and gives the whole series a political and social edge that serves at least allegorically to encourage thinking about the kinds of oppressions with which our own history has been replete, it still continues to stretch credibility the extent to which the abilities and intelligence of dragons are, it seems, only just becoming known. The parallel with slavery, that is alluded to here, and the delusions about slaves that for so long justified the practice in the minds of their oppressors makes some sense of the way dragons are treated here -- and if you combine that with the idea that in their affections dragons are something like dogs, who become attached to the first person they imprint upon, and therefore less likely to revolt than they might otherwise, it can be further explained, but the dragons are not stupid and it is really difficult to credit that human beings would not know more about such powerful beings.
Still, there is inevitably some need to suspend disbelief in a story about dragons, and Novik treads a fine line between immersing us in a fantasy realm and developing parallels with our own history. It remains much more fun to read than most science fiction/fantasy I have seen in some time, and it is a bit silly to complain that there is more to come.
This novel is fairly intersting and creative, and the new dragon friends absolutely delightful. My problem with this novel is that it doesn't deliver what was promised, doesn't really seem to go anywhere, and relies too heavy on the "stupid boss" theme. The reader is left at the end with another (untrue) promise that the next book will delve into T--'s attempts to reform Brittish law concerning dragons (it doesn't, either). The overall feel of the novel is "the continuing adventures of L-- and T-- as they meander through life", and it feels somewhat like an awkward middle child, mainly consisting of backdrop for future plot lines. The novel has all of the usual sequel problems -- the unique premises being conveyed in the first two novels, the third novel was left in a weaker position. Readers who prefer books with multiple sequels may disagree on this issue and should probably add one star to my rating.
"Black Powder War" is an entertaining read and pleasant escape, though perhaps not worth keeping on your shelf after. It will appeal to readers who enjoyed The Hero Strikes Back or Forged Without Fire: A Champion for Catlover or perhaps The Hawk Eternal (A Novel of the Hawk Queen).
This book was however severely wanting in any kind of satisfactory ending. Maybe it is because I rarely read fantasy, and tend to stay away from "endless" epic adventure stories...but I would have imagined that three books would have contained enough pages to have fully told a complete story. With this book's ending, I really get the feeling that I am being strung along. I know this is probably wise marketing, and that some fantasy readers love a series that promises never to end. I however, and I am sure some others of you out there, want an engaging tale told over one, or at most a few, books.
As it is Novik seems to have taken at most two books worth of material, stretched it out to three, and STILL not managed to tie anything of consequence up in the process.
So, while the book was still on the whole enjoyable, this is a warning to others like me who were hoping for a nice trilogy and not a never-ending story.

The last thing I did that was very fun was White Water Rafting and our boat flipped and we all almost died. (maybe exaggerating) We survived and called ourselves team death. Aside from that I really enjoy dancing, drinking (lightweight), singing, hooting, hollering.
Backyard BBQ's. My boss recently had a Yakitori BBQ and all the food was delicious (Cmon, bacon wrapped asparagus, how can you go wrong?). There's just something about homemade bbq that just tops what you find at a restaurant. Favorite Asian food...ok...this is back in 97', in Hong Kong over in Mong Kok just right after you go down the stairs from the KCR...there was this noodle place next to where all the minibuses were at and you can pick fish ball or stewed beef with rice noodle and soup. It was so hole in the wall that you can easily pass it. Hands down best noodles i've ever had in my life. I often wonder if its still there.
I'm shy.
I actually look forward to more events with Asian Groupting now that I've gotten to know some of the members. Really a great group.

Many people thought it was celibacy, not sexual orientation, that mattered when it came to priestly discipline.
I share the feeling of many people in thinking it is unjust to bar celibate homosexuals from the priesthood. But Rome may have had multiple reasons for issuing such a divisive instruction. Among those possible reasons is the way in which the debate over homosexuality, and especially over the influence, status, and authority of homosexual priests and ministers, has roiled nearly every Protestant denomination. Most conspicuous among those churches where attitudes toward homosexuality pose a serious threat to ecclesial unity is the Anglican Communion.
At its 2003 General Convention, the Episcopal Church of the United States of America (ECUSA) voted to approve the consecration of Gene Robinson, an active homosexual living in a committed relationship, as bishop of New Hampshire. At the same time, the Anglican Church of Canada authorized the blessing of same-sex unions. A firestorm erupted, both in North America and worldwide across the Anglican Communion of thirty-eight loosely...
