Numerous terrorist trainees die during lesson on making car bombs
(NEWSER) – The lesson here was not exactly intended: Islamic State of Iraq and Syria militants getting a lesson on making car bombs today accidentally set off their own bomb at a training camp in the countryside north of Baghdad, leaving at least 21 dead and resulting in two dozen arrests, Iraqi officials said. A police officer said the ISIS instructor was giving a lesson when he accidentally used a belt with live explosives; the New York Times notes that those killed were students, though it puts the number of dead at 22 and says another 15 were injured. The instructor is what the Times calls a "prolific recruiter," and an Iraq Army officer dubiously praised him for being "able to kill the bad guys for once."

Saudi Cleric: Driving Hurts Women's Ovaries
(NEWSER) – There are some solid medical reasons behind Saudi Arabia's ban on women drivers, according to a conservative Saudi cleric who has become an international laughingstock. "If a woman drives a car, it could have a negative physiological impact," Sheikh Saleh al-Loheidan told an interviewer. "Medical studies show that it would automatically affect a woman's ovaries and that it pushes the pelvis upward." What's more, he claimed, "for women who continuously drive cars, their children are born with varying degrees of clinical problems."

Taxpayer-funded research lets people experience what it feels like to be a cow
Would experiencing a day in the life of a cow make you less likely to eat meat? How would chopping down a tree affect your paper usage? These are questions that the National Science Foundation awarded universities $748,000 dollars to use virtual reality to answer.
"If somebody becomes an animal, do they gain empathy for that animal and think about its plight?" asked Jeremy Bailenson, director of Stanford University's Virtual Human Interaction Lab. "In this case, empathy toward the animal also coincides with an environmental benefit, which is that [not eating] animals consumes less energy."
Bailenson is heading research at Stanford in which participants don virtual reality helmets and walk on their hands and feet. They are then able to see themselves as a cow in a virtual mirror. They experience what a cow does on its way to being slaughtered and then record what they eat for the next week to see if being a cow reduced meat consumption.
This is just one experiment Bailenson is conducting, but all his experiments are tailored to finding new ways to encourage environmental conservation.
E&E News reports: "Volunteers also have virtually chopped down a tree, a study aimed at examining attitudes toward paper use. Others took a virtual reality shower while eating lumps of coal — literally consuming it — to gain insight into how much was needed to heat the water."
Some researchers argue that virtual reality can alter people's behavior and change their attitudes with respect to environmental issues like global warming.
"It's just a much more compelling way of getting people to understand the effects of their behavior now on the future," Tim Herron of the Decision Theatre lab at the University of British Columbia. "It's about visualizing the data for people. Once people can see it, it's amazing how much it changes things. People begin to really understand the necessity to make some changes now to prevent these sort of things."

My name is R'Lee and I'm an absolute beginner at working with clay. After a long career as a neerdowell, I've retired and decided to turn my talents to clay, as I've always been pretty good with my hands as well as somewhat artistic.
I found the above raku kiln plans at http://www.brackers.com/kilns/bracker
So...I recently bought a 50' (2x25x1.5) roll of 2300 Deg. Kaowool #8 and some refractory cement rated to 2200 deg.
A couple of questions I have are as follows.
1. I found the plans on the web for this raku kiln but I don't want to be limited to just raku. I want to do stoneware as well as porcelain. The plans for the above kiln call for one layer of wool. As the blanket I bought is rated at 2300 deg, I'm wondering...if I double the thickness will this increase the temperature I can take the kiln to?
2. If I can increase the temp by double layering the wool, will it also increase the amount of time it can be held at higher temperatures?
3. How long can I expect the wool to last? (Like how many firings will it take before it looses it's thermal barrier ability's...(give or take?))
4. My plan is to build as carefully as I can (seems like a simple enough plan) with overlapping seams ONLY where absolutely necessary, but I am concerned about heat leakage as I've only a small space to work in ( concrete slab backyard about 25' x 15') and I have a wooden fence. Don't want to burn the place down...
So there you have it. Any input will be deeply appreciated.

Senate amendment would give DOJ power to define who is a journalist
An amendment is moving through the Senate Judiciary Committee that would essentially allow the government to determine who is a journalist for purposes of legal protection of sources. For purposes of protecting a source, a "journalist" under law would be anyone who:
- Works or worked for "an entity or service that disseminates news or information by means of newspaper; nonfiction book; wire service; news agency; news website, mobile application or other news or information service…news program; magazine or other periodical…or through television or radio broadcast…" These people would have to have the "primary intent to investigate events and procure material in order to disseminate to the public news or information." Opinion journalists might not be covered.
- Bloggers and citizen journalists – citizens who commit acts of journalists without working for such an outlet – would not be covered, unless it was determined that "at the inception of the process of gathering the news or information sought, had the primary intent to investigate issues or events and procure material in order to disseminate to the public news or information." In other words, the government – the Department of Justice – would now determine whether primary intent was news distribution or political concerns.

Why we Can't quit Bush and Clinton
It seems almost un-American to double down on the Clinton and Bush dynasties that ran the country for a generation. But looking ahead to 2016, Hillary Clinton is her party's most likely nominee and Jeb Bush is his party's most credible nominee should they decide to run. An appearance by both unannounced contenders at an education summit in Dallas on Monday fueled speculation about what a high-minded campaign they might wage, being policy wonks and all, and having breathed the same rarefied air of the presidency as spouse in Clinton's case and brother and son in Bush's case.
Education has been a central focus for Clinton since she was First Lady of Arkansas, and on the global stage, she has championed access to education for women and girls. Invoking the story of Malala Yousafzai, the Afghani teenager shot by the Taliban, Clinton said, "Her story reminds us that far too many women and girls are denied opportunities to develop their own God-given potential." Clinton thanked Bush, who spoke before she did, for his work as governor on education, and for continuing "that work with passion and dedication in the years since."
The Globalization of Higher Education conference, co-sponsored by Bush and former Democratic Governor Jim Hunt, is just one aspect of Bush's interest in education reform. He is known as one of the principle proponents of Common Core, a set of education standards adopted by some 45 states and poised to be implemented this fall. Like so many other issues, Common Core faces a partisan backlash, and Bush has been urging state officials throughout the country to stay the course.
It's easy to imagine Clinton and Bush debating education policy and respectfully agreeing or disagreeing. Each would happily set aside questions about Benghazi or brother George's presidency; leaving that for others to explore. For a country clamoring for fundamental change, a re-play of Clinton versus Bush seems like someone's idea of a bad joke, but serious people in each party view these two scions as the country's best chance to get out of the muck and mire of hyper-partisanship and rediscover Washington's ability to govern.
"The country is desperate for a less vituperative campaign more focused on issues than on the shortcomings of the candidates," says William Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "It might clear the air and might even produce a governing agenda, a body of ideas that people in both political parties might be prepared to embrace."
Clinton's circle of friends is building an apparatus with "Ready for Hillary," and she stands ready to inherit much of Obama's infrastructure. Bush ran his last competitive race in 1998, an eon ago in political terms. But there's still a potent Bush family network that's built on personal loyalties, has the money to fund a campaign and can tap into a business community yearning for a moderate conservative as opposed to a movement radical. In a recent CBS/New York Times poll of tea party and non-tea party Republicans, Bush fared surprisingly well, coming in a respectable second to Rand Paul with 56 percent for Paul, and 48 percent favoring Bush. Among the non-tea types, he tied with Chris Christie, 39-39 percent. In a party without a frontrunner, and seemingly rudderless, Bush is the closest thing the GOP has to a consensus candidate.

Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Khloé Kardashian may have a new bestie in the broken hearts club!
The 29-year-old star, who stepped out for the first time since her husband, Lamar Odom, was arrested on August 30, looked hot to trot in a tight, leather skirt at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Saturday night and was spotted posing with an unlikely companion … none other than Miley Cyrus!
Khloé and her sisters Kendall, Kylie, and Kourtney popped a pose with the scantily clad "We Can't Stop" singer backstage after her performance and were all smiles as they mugged for the cameras. Cyrus, who could have fit right in with the reality clan with her black and white mesh ensemble and black pasties, seemed to be in high spirits despite her recent breakup.

LISTEN: Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' gets 'lullabied'
Listen to Robin Thicke on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - What do lullabies and David Lee Roth have in common?
If you're scratching your head over that one, we'll connect the dots for you: The legendary frontman's sister Lisa Roth is the Executive Producer of the award-winning Rockabye Baby! lullaby series -- which, if you're not familiar, is the innovative and often hysterical brainchild that sets tunes by what some might call non-child-friendly bands such as Metallica, Kanye West, and dozens of other artists (yes, including Van Halen) to lullabies.
Not only is the music soothing to "hipster-in-training" babies, it puts a grin on tired parents' faces as well. Hey, you need something to make you smile when a colicky Junior is up for the sixth time in one night, right?
The latest in Roth's series to get "lullabied" is Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," which actually lends itself quite well to a lullaby groove. Check out Yahoo Music's exclusive premiere of the song...and don't worry, the video above, as you can guess, does not feature topless women. It does feature a topless teddy bear though! All we can say is: "You're the hottest babe in this crib."

WATCH: Deion Sanders testy in TV interview
Deion Sanders is widely considered to be one of the best cornerbacks in NFL history. The Pro Football Hall of Famer also had a reputation for not being the best tackler. When that aspect of the NFL Network analyst's playing career was brought up on live TV during coverage from Super Bowl XLVIII after his "interview" with Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch by New York Giantsvice president of communications Pat Hanlon, Prime Time took exception to the PR man's statement.
Here's how the testy exchange went down according to Bob Raissman of The New York Daily News:
(NFL Network host Rich) Eisen set the confrontation up, crediting Sanders for finding Lynch and getting the interview.
"And he's also tough to tackle when you're trying to interview him," Eisen said.
"Prime got him," Hanlon said smiling. "Hey, they said Prime didn't tackle anybody (when he played). Well, he just 'tackled' Marshawn Lynch... Sorry to bring that up. I'm a Giant." While Hanlon was delivering the word, Faulk — who was taking this whole Lynch thing way too seriously — glared at the PR man.
Then it was Sanders' turn.
"I'm about to go into Beast Mode (on Hanlon). Name one game when you didn't see me (make tackles) — especially against the Giants. Show me the tape," Sanders said. "See, I get offended when people say that."
Hanlon tried to flattery.
"When I think about you, I think about you breaking (kicker) Brad Daluiso's leg (in 1999) returning a kickoff," Hanlon said.
"Let's not get off the subject," Sanders said. "Name me one game... One game when you ever saw me cost my team anything? That (Deion Sanders) hit reel is 59 minutes long. If you want to be the last minute on that hit reel, you can."
Hanlon's PR techniques kicked in.
"We can replay the tape," Hanlon said. "I didn't say you didn't tackle. I said THEY said you didn't tackle."
"Good, that's a good way to get out of it," Sanders said sarcastically. "Well done. That's a good answer."
Somewhere, Tim McCarver is smiling.

Rascal Flatts' Joe Don Rooney expecting third child
Listen to Rascal Flatts on iHeartRadio
Rascal Flatts' current single is called "Rewind" but group member Joe Don Rooney might be eager to fast-forward a few months.
The country star's rep confirms to People that the guitarist and his wife Tiffany Fallon are expecting their third child this summer. Their family already includes five-and-a-half-year-old son Jagger and three-and-a-half-year-old daughter Raquel.
The couple says in a statement that they're "so thrilled and feel so blessed to bring another little angel" into their world. They add that "Jagger and Rocky are very excited too," and will "make a great 'big brother-big sister duo' as the Rooney circus continues."

Pinot Grigio does not have particularly striking characteristics, which is perhaps what makes it so drinkable. It is a rather dry wine with a high acidity and refreshing citrus flavor. Its strongest flavors include lime, pear, green apple, lemon and white nectarine. Its aroma gives off faint honey, floral, almond and spice notes without any aspect of its profile being overpowering. It is similar to an unoaked Chardonnay but often comes off as being less sweet as a side effect of its acidity.
Serve Pinot Grigio ice cold for the most refreshing flavor. Its food pairings make Pinot Grigio an ideal when for when you are thinking of hosting a fine outdoor dinner on a balmy summer evening. Plan for a fresh salad and flaky tilapia or shellfish dish for dinner. Top it off with fresh fruit for dessert to pair well with your Pinot Grigio throughout the evening. This wine also pairs well with sushi for two when you are looking to cozy up for the night. Go fresh when looking to pair this simple wine with food.
Feel like you are baking in the sun on a hot summer's day? Make those scorchers more tolerable with Pinot Grigio from Wine Chateau. Forget lemonade and popsicles. Where is the fun in a non-alcoholic refresher? It's the summer. Time to enjoy the patio or sit poolside with a bottle Pinot Grigio. Bring friends along, too, but remind them to bring their own bottles from Wine Chateau because you will want this one to yourself.

This registry is made available through the Internet with the intent to better assist the public in preventing and protecting against the commission of future criminal sexual acts by convicted sex offenders.
The Sex Offenders Registration Act, MCL 28.721et seq., directs the Michigan State Police (MSP) to develop and maintain a public registry and provides guidelines on the type of offender information available to the public. The legislature has determined that a person who has been convicted of committing an offense covered by this act poses a potential serious menace and danger to the health, safety, morals, and welfare of the people, and particularly the children, of this state. The registration requirements of the Sex Offenders Registration Act are intended to provide the people of this state with an appropriate, comprehensive, and effective means to monitor those persons who pose such a potential danger. The offense link available on the offender details page reflects the current statute and due to continuous legislative changes, may not be indicative of the statute at the time the offender was convicted.
The information contained on the Public Sex Offender Registry (PSOR) can change quickly. The MSP frequently updates the registry in a continuous effort to provide complete and accurate information. While much of the information is obtained from public records, some information, such as physical description and residence, is gathered from the offenders themselves who may fail to provide accurate information. Therefore, the MSP makes no representation, express or implied, that the information contained on the PSOR is accurate. Any individual who believes information contained on the PSOR is not accurate should contact the local law enforcement agency, sheriff's office, or the nearest state police post having jurisdiction over the offender's residence.
Information provided through the PSOR is public information. However, it is your responsibility to make sure the records accessed through the registry pertain to the person about whom you are seeking information. Extreme care should be exercised in using any information obtained from this web site. Information on this site must not be used to unlawfully injure, harass, or commit a crime against any individual named in the registry or residing or working at any reported address.

Up to Speed: 5 Things You Need to Know About Benghazi
One year ago a band of Libyan fighters gathered around the exterior gates of the United States mission in Benghazi, Libya, and proceeded to torch the compound. The initial wave of attacks ended up killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and a communications specialist, Sean Smith, who both died of smoke inhalation. A second wave killed two former Navy SEALs, Glenn Doherty and Tyrone Woods. The attacks sparked a series of investigations in Congress as well as a State Department independent review, which faulted mid-level officials for not providing adequate security before the attack and for failing to account for a series of warnings about the deteriorating security environment in Benghazi. Nonetheless many questions remain unanswered. Below, five facts to bring you up to speed.
1. The Killers Are at Large
In July, President Obama confirmed that at least one suspect, a militia leader in Benghazi named Ahmed Abu Khattala, had been indicted in secret by a grand jury. But Khattala has yet to be arrested and no other indictments have been filed. In an interview with The New York Times last fall, he said he was at the U.S. mission on the night of the attack and that U.S. guards shot first. This past weekend, Obama's chief of staff, Denis McDonough, was asked on Fox News Sunday why reporters were able to gain access to Khattala but not law enforcement. His response: "The United States government does what it says, and we will do what we say in this instance, as we do in every other instance."
2. The Investigation Is Stymied
It's no surprise, given that no one has been arrested, that the investigation is not going well. From the beginning Obama has treated the Benghazi attack as a criminal act and not an act of war. This means that instead of deploying special operations and covert action, as he's done in the hunt for al Qaeda in Pakistan and Yemen, Obama has made the FBI the lead agency to track down the Benghazi killers. There have been numerous stumbles. The Bureau was not able to gain access to the Benghazi compound until more than three weeks after the crime. And when some special operations forces in October had the suspected culprits in their sights, no order was given to kill or capture them. The U.S. persuaded Turkey to send Ali Ani al-Harzi to Tunisia, a suspect who fled Libya for Turkey, but the Tunisian authorities released him, reportedly because they didn't have enough evidence to hold him. Rep. Frank Wolf, a Republican who is pushing for a special investigation into Benghazi, told The Daily Beast that the FBI only had three hours to interview al-Harzi after waiting for weeks to get access to the suspect. "Now he is gone, and missing," he said.
3. It Could Hurt Hillary in 2016
If the former first lady and secretary of State runs for president in 2016, the Republican attack will likely start with Benghazi. It was under her leadership that the State Department declined to send all the diplomatic security resources requested by officials in the field—something that might have saved lives that fateful night. It also didn't request more back up on the night itself, beyond the CIA contractors who arrived from the nearby annex and later from Tripoli. Yet the State Department's Accountability Review Board failed to hold any senior officials at the State Department or the CIA accountable. The four State Department employees who were singled out went back to work this summer. Greg Hicks, the former deputy chief of mission at the embassy in Benghazi and one of the whistleblowers who testified before Congress in May, says he has been punished for going public. In an interview with ABC News on Sunday, Hicks said he was given a desk job that is the equivalent of being "put in closet."

Teen's Urine Ruins 38M Gallons of Portland's Water
(NEWSER) – Rest assured, Portland, Oregon: The water you drink is very, very clean. How sanitary? This sanitary: Water Bureau administrators are willing to flush 38 million gallons of the stuff and clean the open-air reservoir in order to make sure there's not the most miniscule amount of human urine in it.
The Oregonian reports that a 19-year-old man peed in Mt. Tabor Reservoir 5, which supplies the city with drinking water, around 1am yesterday. He was caught on surveillance video leaning against a fence in order to "get his little wee wee right up to the iron bars," said Water Bureau administrator David Shaff; the man then pulled up his pants seconds later.

Cops: Guy burned down house to impress woman
(NEWSER) – Well, this is one way to try and score a date: Police say a North Dakota man burned down a farmhouse ... to impress a lady. It was a very strange chain of events that ultimately led to this discovery, which got Fredrick Bohjanen Jr. charged with arson and other felonies last week. From the Park Rapids Enterprise:
- Police responded to a call about a stolen tractor battery on October 8, one of several similar incidents reported in the area over the course of a few days. The owner of the tractor said he saw Bohjanen loading batteries into a truck with his father.
- According to Bohjanen's father, his son said he'd been given the batteries; he was planning to sell them to get some of his money back after bailing Bohjanen out of jail.

Cavs Take Wiggins First In NBA Draft
(Brooklyn, NY) -- Andrew Wiggins is the number-one pick in this year's NBA Draft. The Cleveland Cavaliers selected the forward out of Kansas with the first selection. It's the second straight year and third in the last four the Cavs have had the top pick. Duke guard Jabari Parker went second overall to the Milwaukee Bucks, while the Philadelphia 76ers selected Kansas center Joel Embiid at number-three. Embiid had been projected to go first overall until recent surgery for a stress fracture in his foot.
The Orlando Magic selected Arizona forward Aaron Gordon fourth, while the Utah Jazz took Australian guard Dante Exum with the fifth pick. The Magic also had the 12th pick and chose Croatian forward Dario Saric but traded him to Philadelphia for point guard Elfrid Payton, who was selected 10th out of Louisiana-Lafayette. The Magic also sent the Sixers a 2015 second-round pick and a future first-round pick in the deal. The Denver Nuggets chose Creighton forward Doug McDermott with the 11th pick but traded him to Chicago for picks 16 and 19. Denver ended up with Jusuf Nurkic out of Croatia and Michigan State guard Gary Harris. The Phoenix Suns held three picks in the first round and grabbed NC State forward T.J. Warren, Syracuse guard Tyler Ennis and Serbian forward Bogdan Bogdanovic.
The NBA showed its class by drafting former Baylor big man Isaiah Austin. The pick was made prior to Chicago selecting at number 16. Austin's basketball career was cut short this past week after being diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, an illness that creates problems in connective tissues throughout the body.

Scarlett Johansson is engaged!
(Yahoo!) - Scarlett Johansson is giving marriage another shot.
The "Under the Skin" actress, 28, is engaged to French journalist Romain Dauriac, omg! confirms. Dauriac reportedly popped the question about a month ago with a vintage Art Deco ring.
"I can confirm that Scarlett and Romain are engaged," a rep for Johansson tells us. "They haven't chosen a date for the wedding."
Scarlett and Romain were first spotted kissing on the streets of NYC in November 2012, shortly after she split with advertising executive Nate Naylor one month prior. Previously, Scarlett dated actors Sean Penn and Jared Leto. She was also married to Ryan Reynolds for two years before they called it quits in 2010. (Reynolds wed Blake Lively in September 2012.)
"Well, it wasn't that long ago. But I think I've had a fair amount of time to process the experience and be able to move forward," Scarlett told Marie Claire this past May about her marriage. "I continue to get to know myself better as I get older, and that helps me in my relationships."
She continued: "I don't like jealous behavior. I don't mind an occasional check-in, but when somebody is passive-aggressively jealous, it's really unattractive because it shows a sort of insecurity … Oh, controlling behavior is awful. Nobody's going to say they love that."
Guess we know what kind of guy Romain Dauriac is not.

Millions Will Lose Current Policy Under ObamaCare
(NEWSER) – NBC News and the White House are locked in a showdown over whether millions of Americans will see cancellation letters from their health insurers due to ObamaCare: Despite President Obama's assurances that "if you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health plan," an NBC investigation finds that many of these policies are ineligible under the Affordable Care Act's standards—and the administration has known that for years. ObamaCare regulations "grandfathered in" policies that were up and running by March 23, 2010, but regulations added since state that changes to things like the deductible, co-pay, or benefits make a policy ineligible for that grandfathering. Translation: Up to 75% of the 14 million Americans who buy insurance individually may have their insurance cancelled.

This is the inflatable reindeer that stands nearly two stories tall. The reindeer's underbelly is 6 1/4' above ground at the highest point, allowing guests to walk underneath, and each hoof is the size of an armchair. The reindeer's head sways side-to-side to greet revelers scampering underfoot, and it has five clear interior lights that cast a festive, holiday glow. It has two, three-pointed 4'-long antlers, a red and green scarf around its neck, and its hindquarters and tail are elevated above its head in a playful stance that suggests he's about to dash through the snow. Made of durable tear-resistant polyester, the reindeer remains in place with the included stakes and tethers. The integrated fan inflates the reindeer in five minutes and maintains inflation. Folds to 23 1/4" x 17 3/4" for convenient storage. Plugs into AC with a 5' cord. 18 1/2' H x 16 1/2' L x 10 1/2' W. (20 lbs.)

BIG BIG BIG Reindeer!
By dianne the travel agent
from Monroe LA
We are a travel agency located next door to a very busy and popular holiday store, so we added signs to the reindeer sides promoting holiday gift certificates. This MASSIVE Reindeer should grab us the attention we desire while spreading holiday cheer. ONLY CON is we fear vandalism or theft because its so darn cute, so we take it home and show it off in our neighborhood at night. Luckily, it is just that easy to transport and take up and down!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

True Attention Grabber
By Greggie G
from Suffolk County
Best Uses
Easy to use right out of the box. Just plug it in and it quickly inflates to full size. Once it's inflated, set the tie down strings and ground stakes. That's all there is to it. It's a really big lawn ornament that will have everyone looking at it. Every car slows coming down the street to see it. It can be seen from the intersection 6 houses away. All the neighbors kids have pictures next to it.You won't be able to use a timer for it because it needs help to stand up fully. Otherwise it'll be kneeling. You'll have to cut about a foot off of each tie down string and use the short pieces to help stake the feet, otherwise the stakes pull out.

Ubuntu Quantal User Administration
User Administration
Users and Groups
- Note: The Unity user interface does not currently have a GUI method to modify user and group settings. For an introduction to managing users and groups from the CLI (command-line interface) see the Ubuntu Server Guide and this brief tutorial.
Manage Users and Groups with the Gnome2 GUI
- Gnome2 (the user interface for older versions of Ubuntu) included a GUI for managing users and groups. That Users and Group Management Tool from Gnome2 can be installed as part of Gnome System Tools:
sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools
You can then launch it from Unity Dash, by pressing ALT+F2, or by creating a menu item with the command:
- Change user and group settings
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Users and Groups
- Add New Users
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Users and Groups -> Add
- Remove Users
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Users and Groups -> user -> Delete
- Modify Users
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Users and Groups -> user -> Advanced Settings
- or
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Users and Groups -> user -> Manage Groups
It is quite often necessary to have extra privileges to do certain tasks. These privileges are assigned to your user by belonging to certain groups. The tasks are allowed to be performed by any user belonging to the group associated with that task.
- Example: a "sudoer" is a user who can perform certain administrative tasks, such as updating the system. To become a "sudoer" a user must belong to the "sudo" group.
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Users and Groups -> user -> Manage Groups --> sudo -> Properties -> Group Members -> user (ticked)
To become an administrator, you must belong to the adm, admin, and sudo groups. To be a virtualbox user, you must belong to the virtualbox group. To change printer settings you must belong to lpadmin. To use the cdrom, you must belong to cdrom. To use hot-pluggable devices, you must belong to plugdev. To share Samba folders (on a Windows-based network), you must belong to sambashare. To access NTFS files using the virtual filesystem fuse, you must belong to the fuse group. To use many games, you must belong to the games group. The list is long, and not always obvious.
Unfortunately, while this is the feature that gives Linux such a high-level of security, it can also take diligence to remember to add your user to certain groups. It is not uncommon for programs and functions on your system not to work merely because you don't have privileges to do so because you forgot to add your user to the appropriate group(s).
Of most importance, you must already be an administrator in order to change membership in groups. Therefore, if you create a new user and intend to give that user administrative privileges (by assigning the user to the administrative groups), you must do so from your original administrator account (the one you set up at installation) or from another administrative user account.
Timekpr (Parental controls)
Timekpr is a program to track and control the computer usage of user accounts. It is available from a Launchpad PPA.
- If updating, remove any prior versions:
sudo dpkg --purge timekpr
- Add the timekpr third-party repositories:
deb deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timekpr-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main deb-src deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timekpr-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main
- Install:
sudo apt-get install timekpr
- When prompted which default display manager to use, select "kdm"
- Start:
- K menu -> System -> Timekpr Control Panel
Web content filtering
DansGuardian provides web filtering capability, similar to NetNanny. It is useful for limiting objectionable content in publicly accessible workstations, or for filtering objectionable content for younger users. It integrates with ClamAV, and uses several criteria for filtering websites (which is difficult to modify). It is used with Tinyproxy (best for individual users) or the Squid proxy (best for a network server). Install:
sudo apt-get install dansguardian tinyproxy
- or
sudo apt-get install dansguardian squid
See these installation instructions for setup details. In brief,
- Edit the dansguardian configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf
- comment out the UNCONFIGURED line:
- If using tinyproxy instead of Squid, change the proxyport to 8888:
proxyport 8888
- Reinstall dansguardian:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall dansguardian
- Set your browser to use the localhost:8080 proxy. For example, in Firefox:
- Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings
- Manual proxy configuration -> HTTP proxy: localhost -> Port: 8080
- A Webmin module is available to administer settings. Also, a GUI to change Dansguardian settings called Webstrict is in development.
- A GUI for use with IPCop (based on the webmin module) is also available.
System Administration
Automating Tasks
- Cron is a system daemon that runs tasks in the background according to instructions found in a crontab file. To edit the crontab file for the current user:
crontab -e
Tasks that normally require administrative (sudo) privileges should be added to the root user's crontab:
sudo crontab -e
Add commands using the format specified here (or see the Ubuntu Community Help). The crontab command format can also be found using:
man crontab
- Scheduled/automated tasks (cron events) can also be edited using the GNOME schedule GUI interface.
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Task Scheduler
- If the GNOME Schedule task scheduler is not installed, install it:
sudo apt-get install gnome-schedule
Boot Menu
Login Menu settings
You can change the Login menu settings from the GUI interface:
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Login Manager
You can choose an integrated theme or select individual components of the login screen/process.
Automating bootup options
StartupManager is a GUI to manage settings for Grub (Grub Legacy), Grub 2, Usplash, and Splashy.
GRUB boot manager settings
Quantal comes with Grub2, a difficult boot manager to customize. (Grub2 is also known as grub-pc.) See the evolving instructions at the Ubuntu wiki or Ubuntu forums. In brief, some settings can be edited:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub sudo grub-mkconfig --output=/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Alternatively, use the command:
sudo update-grub
Grub2 background image, colors, fonts
- See this Ubuntu Forums thread.
- Any background image can be used for Grub2 by placing the image in the /boot/grub folder and then reconfiguring Grub2:
sudo update-grub
The image ought to be the same size as the Grub2 startup resolution specified in /etc/default/grub (e.g. 1024x768).
- A selection of splashimages can be installed into the /usr/share/images/grub folder:
sudo apt-get install grub2-splashimages
- One of the images can be linked to the /boot/grub folder and used as the splash image. For example:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/images/grub/Plasma-lamp.tga /boot/grub sudo update-grub
Change the default menu item
- There are several ways to change the default Grub2 menu item, but only one is reliable. The menu items in Grub2 change name and position in the list with every kernel upgrade. However, if you choose the default menu item by name, you can reliably set it as the default. For example, if you wish to boot a Windows OS as the default and the Grub 2 menu lists it as Microsoft Windows 98SE Ancient Edition (on /dev/sda1) then edit /etc/default/grub:
sudo kate /etc/default/grub
and change the entry to resemble:
GRUB_DEFAULT="Microsoft Windows 98SE Ancient Edition (on /dev/sda1)"
then regenerate the Grub2 config file:
sudo update-grub
To find out the names of the menu items, use:
sudo grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg
- Note: There is a bug in Grub2 v.1.99 such that if the GRUB_DEFAULT option is used, the Grub2 menu can not be entered (for manually selecting a menu item). If the default option is a non-Linux OS, there will then be no way start a Linux OS (and therefore no way to subsequently change the /etc/default/grub configuration file). Use this option with great care.
Protecting Grub2 from cracking
- See this section of the Grub Manual for important information on securing Grub2.
- To add password protection, in the /etc/grub.d/40_custom configuration file, add the lines:
set superusers="user1" #password_pbkdf2 user1 grub.pbkdf2.sha512.10000.biglongstring password user1 insecurecleartextpassword
and change your password to something other than insecurecleartextpassword, or use the pbkdf2-encrypted method described here. You can then password-lock menu items as well. For detailed info see this blog.
GRUB Legacy
The older version of GRUB ("Grub Legacy") is available, for use with a boot partition, for example. Install:
sudo apt-get install grub
- If you have multiple operating systems (OS) on your computer, you may be using the GRUB Legacy boot manager (in a boot partition, for example). You can edit the options for GRUB Legacy in the menu.lst configuration file. (See this detailed info.)
sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
- (gedit can also be used instead of nano as the text editor.)
Chainloading Grub2 from Grub Legacy
- To chainload Grub2 (installed in this example with the OS in the /dev/sda7 partition) from Grub Legacy (stored in a boot partition, for example), use an entry of this format in the Grub Legacy /boot/grub/menu.lst configuration file:
title (K)Ubuntu Quantal OS (chainloader) rootnoverify (hd0,6) chainloader +1
- Grub2 is erratic, however. In many situations I don't bother to chainload it at all. Instead, it is possible to bypass Grub2 entirely and load the OS directly using Grub Legacy (stored in a boot partition, for example) using an entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst of the format:
title (K)Ubuntu Oneiric OS (chainloader) rootnoverify (hd0,6) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 ro initrd /initrd.img
- My old method for chainloading Grub2 (installed in this example in the /dev/sda7 partition) from Grub Legacy used an entry in the Grub Legacy configuration file (/boot/grub/menu.lst) with this format:
title (K)Ubuntu Maverick OS (chainloader) rootnoverify (hd0,6) kernel /boot/grub/core.img
- This method, however, requires a current core.img to have been created with grub-mkimg (part of the grub-install process). When there are substantial changes to the partition or the kernel, the core.img must be re-created by re-installing Grub2 into the OS partition (in this example /dev/sda7 corresponds to (hd0,6) ):
sudo grub-install /dev/sda7
Protecting Grub Legacy from cracking
- See this section of the Grub Manual for important information on securing Grub Legacy.
- To add password protection, in the /boot/grub/menu.lst configuration file, uncomment (remove the hashmark) from the line:
#password topsecret
and change your password to something other than topsecret, or use the md5-encrypted method described here. You can then password-lock menu items by adding the descriptor lock below the title of any item menu.
Default Applications
In previous version of ubuntu, you could choose which program to use as your default program for a specific task.
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Default Applications
or by right-clicking on any file and choosing the "Open with Other Application..." option.
The Default Applications menu has now been removed from Ubuntu, however. For a GUI that will allow this and multiple similar Ubuntu system tweaks, install Ubuntu Tweak:
wget http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-tweak/0.5.x/0.5.8/+download/ubuntu-tweak_0.5.8-1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i ubuntu-tweak_0.5.8-1_all.deb
Kill a process
Sometimes a program (or "process") just freezes. To "kill" (or end) the program/process:
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> System Monitor -> highlight the errant process -> Kill process
From the command line:
sudo killall process
- where process is the name of the frozen program, such as firefox.
Enabling NUM LOCK On Startup
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard ->"turn on Numlock on Startup"
Working with Menus
Create an encrypted folder
You can create a folder whose contents are encrypted. See these instructions.
Create a symlink from a file to another location
A symbolic link (also known as a symlink) is a method in Linux of referring to a file (or directory) in one location from another location. Usage:
ln -s /path/to/source /path/to/destination
If /path/to/destination requires superuser rights, then use:
sudo ln -s /path/to/source /path/to/destination
This is similar to, but more powerful than, creating Shortcuts, with which former Windows users may be familiar.
Assign a root password
To be able to log in as root directly, you must assign a root password. This can be done with:
sudo passwd root
Afterwards, you can use
to get a root prompt. You would then use the root password.
Get a root prompt without using a root password
If you have not set a root password (or don't know it), you can obtain root user privileges anyway. From the command-line Terminal:
sudo -s
- or
sudo su
- or
sudo bash
You will use your own user password instead of a root password.
You could also get a prompt to become any other user on the computer by typing:
sudo su <username>
Use the File Manager as root
sudo nautilus
- or
gksudo nautilus
Manually Mount and Unmount a device
To manually mount a device:
mount /dev/hda
replace /dev/hda with the location of the device.
To manually unmount a device:
umount /dev/hda
replace /dev/hda with the location of the device.
Windows Compatibility
Mounting NTFS Partitions (with read/write privileges)
Find out the name of your ntfs partition:
sudo fdisk -l
Method 1: In this example, the NTFS drive is listed by fdisk as /dev/sda2, but yours may differ.
Make a mount point for the drive:
sudo mkdir /media/WindowsNTFS
Edit fstab:
sudo nano /etc/fstab
Comment out the automatically added lines by Ubuntu installation:
#/dev/sda2 auto nouser,atime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 #/dev/sda2 /mnt auto user,atime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
and instead add the line:
/dev/sda2 /media/WindowsNTFS ntfs-3g quiet,defaults,rw 0 0
Note: There are many ways to mount the drive, depending on your needs. The fstab file controls this process. See How to edit and understand fstab and Intro to using fstab.
In this example, I indicated that the file system was an ntfs-3g filesystem, so did not use the auto option (which detects the filesystem automatically). I used rw to specify read/write privileges for all users, but umask=0 and umask=000 are accepted by some kernels.
Method 2: Edit fstab:
sudo nano /etc/fstab
When Ubuntu installation finishes, it mounts all ntfs partitions automatically with ntfsprogs, adding a line similar to the following to fstab:
UUID=8466268666267956 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,gid=46 0 1
Change this line to:
UUID=8466268666267956 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g defaults,nls=utf8,locale=zh_CN.UTF-8,rw,gid=46 0 1
In this example, I have a Chinese-language Windows installation on my first partition, so I set the locale parameter (locale=zh_CN.UTF-8) so that my Chinese documents can display correctly. Setting rw (same as umask=0 or umask=000) lets me read/write the partition without sudo. gid=46 specifies that the drive will belong to the group of hot-pluggable devices (plugdev) and is not necessary unless your ntfs drive is a hot-pluggable one (such as an external USB drive). nls=utf8 is the default and is optional for most ntfs users, but there are other options for Chinese (and other specialized character-set users).
Mounting FAT32 Partitions
Follow the above instructions, but use vfat instead of ntfs-3g.
In other words, if you have made a mount point directory /mnt/WindowsFAT32 and your FAT32 drive is /dev/sda3, then edit the /etc/fstab file to include the line:
/dev/sda3 /mnt/WindowsFAT32 vfat quiet,defaults,rw 0 0
Synchronize clock to network time server
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) allows time synchronization of your computer to time servers on the Internet.To enable it:
- Applications menu -> System Settings -> Date & Time
- Check the "Set date and time automatically" option
- Choose an ntp time server near you.

Marine Biologist: 6th-Grader Stole My Idea
(NEWSER) – Using only six fish and six tanks, a 6th-grade science fair entrant was able to demonstrate last year what is being hailed as a remarkable discovery: Lionfish, an invasive species found up and down the Florida coast, can also survive in nearly fresh water. There's just one catch: That student may have stolen her idea from a former graduate student her scientist father may have once worked with, reports UPI. Zack Jud, a marine biologist who published very similar results in 2011, says the recent news surprised him because his years of work leading to similar findings are being ignored. He calls now-13-year-old Lauren Arrington the daughter of his "former supervisor's best friend." Arrington's dad, Albrey Arrington, has a PhD in fish ecology and is reportedly listed on Jud's 2011 research paper as a contributing author.
