Item # H-ARK
On Sale Today! Save $3
The Hard Arkansas stone is made of a stone called novaculite. This stone, quarried in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma, is almost pure silica which makes a great surface for sharpening knives and tools. The Hard Arkansas stone is finer than the Soft Arkansas stone so it leaves a finer edge. Because this is a natural stone, the color of the stone varies, but it is usually white. The handsome wooden box keeps the stone safe when not in use. The Hard Arkansas stone is available in many sizes to fit your needs. The 4" x 2" x 1" is a small economical stone that is best used only on smaller knives and tools. The 6" x 2" x 1" is a medium sized stone that is popular due to the good size and value. If you do a lot of sharpening, you'll appreciate the large 8" x 2" x 1" stone; its generous size allows for longer strokes to speed up the sharpening process. We now carry larger 10" x 2" x 1" and the 12" x 2" x 1" stones.
Proudly quarried and made in the USA.
Q. How do the grits of Arkansas Stones Compare to each other?
A. Arkansas Stones are graded not by grit numbers like other types of stone, but by their density and hardness. The less dense, or softer the stone, the coarser it is. The more dense, or harder the stone, the finer it is. The coarsest Arkansas Stone we carry is the Soft Arkansas. The Hard Arkansas is in the middle of the Arkansas stones, and the Hard Black and Hard Translucent Arkansas stones are the finest.
Q. How do the grits of the Arkansas Stones compare to other types of oil stones?
A. The Soft Arkansas is a bit finer than the Fine India and the Fine Crystolon stones, and it makes an excellent next step from those types.
Q. How fine of an Arkansas Stone do I need?
A. The decision of what stone to finish with is a personal one depending on what kind of edge you desire. In general, a Soft Arkansas stone will leave a good edge with a bit of tooth. A Hard Arkansas will leave a more refined edge that is more highly polished. And a Hard Black or Hard Translucent Arkansas will leave a very refined edge that is approaching mirror fine.

Overnight Domestic Disturbance Involves Off Duty Officer
A domestic disturbance involving an off duty San Antonio Police Officer nearly led to a standoff on the city's southwest side overnight, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Police were called to a house in the 100 block of Whitecliff, which is located near Loop 410 and Ray Ellison Drive, just before midnight on a report of a shooting.
Officer Roger Zuniga says when officers arrived, they did not find a shooting victim, but they did find a man holding a gun to the head of a woman.
"Officers arrived, contacted individuals inside, and individuals have been transported downtown to give statements," Zuniga said.
Officers had blocked off several streets, surround the house, and prepared for a possible standoff, when the man put down the gun, came out of the house, and surrendered.
"It seems like a domestic disturbance between a family," Zuniga said. "It appears there was an officer involved in this disturbance."

Why exactly does the capture http module in metasploit serve iframe elements to common sites on every request?
Let's say you have a setup that redirects all http traffic to your local machine, when someone does an http request your machine take the connection, metasploit serves the template and the iframe's get redirected to you as well. The problem with this is these subsequent requests get served the same template so you get some nasty recursion that takes down the browser.
The alternative is to just redirect a single http connection to your site, in this case you never see the requests generated by the template so it has no real purpose.
The way that makes sense is to serve the template only on the first request from an ip and only serve 404 messages for any subsequent requests.
In short, am I completely missing something?

As mobile software company MobileIron gears up for an initial public offering, it has hired a veteran chief financial officer.
MobileIron is one of a cluster of providers that enable big companies to put secure email and other applications on any mobile device or tablet that employees use, a practice known as "bring your own device," or "BYOD." It is the second company in the space to prepare for an IPO, while another competitor was bought out before it could get to that point.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company is set to announce that Todd Ford has been tapped as CFO, according to a person familiar with the plans. Mr. Ford previously was CFO at computer server company Rackable Systems, where he oversaw its growth from a startup to a public company. He also founded an early-stage venture capital firm, Broken Arrow Venture Capital.
MobileIron will also announce that it generated more than $100 million in revenues in 2013, the person said. It now has more than 5,500 customers, according to the company's website.
Based on the revenue multiple seen when competitor AirWatch LLC was acquired last month, MobileIron's market value could be pegged at more than $2 billion, depending on how much its sales grow this year.
The move comes as MobileIron has tapped banks for an IPO, people familiar with the company's plans said. It is working with Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group, Deutsche Bank and Barclays PLC, the people said. They added that the deal could launch in the next few months. The hiring of the banks was previously reported by Bloomberg News.
A spokeswoman for MobileIron declined to comment on potential IPO plans or valuation.
MobileIron, founded in 2007, is run by Chief Executive Bob Tinker, the former head of business development for Cisco Systems's wireless units. It has raised about $150 million from venture capital firms including Foundation Capital, Institutional Venture Partners, Norwest Venture Partners and Sequoia Capital.
MobileIron's software works through the phone or tablet's native apps while the security system runs in the background. It allows customers to control which users have access to company-created apps, and also offers a secure web browser.
"BYOD" offers companies an alternative to tying themselves to device-makers such as Blackberry Ltd., which for years dominated the market for secure corporate mobile email.
But as mobile phones and tablets made by Apple and others have proliferated with employees at all levels, companies such as MobileIron, Good Technology Corp. and AirWatch have sought to step in and secure those devices when used for work.
The three firms compete fiercely, but see a big opportunity. Good and MobileIron executives pointed out a 2012 Blackberry system outage as a boon to sales, according to Fortune.
Good hired bankers for an IPO early last year, the Journal previously reported, but has yet to launch its deal. It's unclear which company will ultimately be the first to make it to market.
Good's system focuses on securing the data accessed by employees, according to a spokeswoman. The company has seen 50% growth in users of the app over the last three quarters, she said. She declined to comment on IPO plans.

The mysterious chillout duo comes clean to RA's Todd L. Burns about their working process, why deaf people love them and what to call their music.
The Cologne sound dead? Not a chance, writes RA's Lee Smith, after another visit to the city's annual C/O Pop festival.
Robag Wruhme is the music maker and Soren Bodner is... the sleepy one? RA's Richard Brophy calls up Wruhme at his Jena home to find out what makes the duo nervous, who's really producing the Wighnomy Brothers material and why his back is hurting.
In the first in a new interview series on RA, we sit down with Daniel Wang, play him some records and record the results.
Straddling the blurry line between house, disco and soul, Chicago's Still Music label group is one of the most vital labels operating today. RA's Thomas D. Cox investigates.

GSA Launches New Federal Acquisition Service
December 6, 2006
Contact: Jon Anderson (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC — Administrator Lurita Doan of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) signed GSA Order ADM 5440.591 Change 2, the agency announced today, approving the regional Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) organization and taking the next step in the FAS organizational implementation process.
"This step puts the Federal Acquisition Service's remaining organizational details in place and positions us for success," Administrator Doan said.
The first GSA order, officially establishing the FAS national organizational structure, set the stage for designing the organizational structure of the 11 FAS regional offices. With this second order, GSA continues to refine FAS. President George W. Bush officially approved the new FAS organization when he signed into law H.R. 2066, the General Services Administration Modernization Act, on October 6, 2006.
"I'm greatly pleased that we've taken this next significant step in formally establishing the new FAS," said FAS Commissioner Jim Williams. "The FAS strategic planning process that we will conduct over the next several months will analyze appropriate FAS service delivery points nationwide and may lead to modifications to the proposed organizational design. Any issues raised in implementing this Order will be handled during that process."
Commissioner Williams also noted this action brings FAS that much closer to achieving goals of improved customer service and focus as well as greater business flexibility for acquisition solutions. The final structure will also provide greater career opportunities for employees, enhanced financial management and accountability, increased efficiencies, greater standardization within FAS and with industry partners—while allowing more innovation and better support for the President's Management Agenda.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 170,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of FirstGov.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? FAS annual sales of $56 billion account for more than one-sixth of the entire federal procurement budget. FAS manages acquisition programs that include information technology, telecommunications, furniture, tools, office products and supply items, and all travel, motor vehicles and credit card services.

Floodwater spilled over Western Washington following days of severe rain. Six rivers were at record water heights. Roads were under so much water that salmon were photographed swimming across Highway 101. Mud and rockslides blocked several highways and an Amtrak train. Over 200 hunters were evacuated from a camp that had been cut off by water. But one of them, a 20 year-old man, was killed when his truck was swept into a river.

Upgrading to a solid state drive is like getting your first Mac; there's no going back.
A solid state drive is a disk drive that is comprised of flash memory. They are super fast, super durable, super quiet, and super power-efficient. Along with that, they are super expensive. The standard storage drive for most computers is a hard disk drive, which is a cheaper alternative to computer storage than solid state storage. Hard disk drives use magnetic technology to store data on a literal hard metal disk. This makes them vulnerable to magnet damage, and since it is comprised of moving parts, it uses more power and it can be detrimental if dropped or not handled correctly. A solid state drive on the other hand, can be dropped, hit, pummeled by magnets, no matter what, it can usually survive. Solid state memory is used today in commercial jet airliners in something called the black box. It is used to store sounds that come from the cockpit; these are also known as CVR/FDR (Cockpit Voice Recorder/Flight Data Recorder)'s and they can be used in the event that there is a plane crash to help learn what caused the crash. Yes; solid state memory takes a huge beating in a plane crash and it survives. They don't use hard disk drives because they are sensitive to movement which could damage the data.
Crucial is a good company for buying solid state drives from. Albeit expensive for equal storage in hard disk drive form, there is no comparison to the speeds of a solid state drive. Just like the iPad, a solid state drive can make your computer have that 'instant on' effect. Anyone who has used a newer generation MacBook Air knows the glory and benefits of flash storage over a traditional hard disk dive. Applications open faster, the operating system boots up faster, and data is written much faster than if you had used a hard disk drive.
I bought a 128GB Crucial solid state drive a couple of weeks ago and I have been toying around with it ever since. The first picture of this review is the underbelly of my 13-inch MacBook pro with the Crucial solid state drive installed in the lower left of the computer case. It's a 2.5 inch solid state memory case with all of the specifications on it and it is connected inside of the computer the same way that a hard disk drive is; with a SATA connector and power supply. Since getting the solid state drive, I've been launching a myriad of applications at once (60 or more) and all of the applications open within 20 seconds. Opening any application, one at a time, only takes less than a mere second. On a hard disk drive, opening certain applications can take upwards of around 20 seconds (Final Cut Pro, Adobe Photoshop, iWork applications). The solid state drive also brings boot speeds to a better speed than with the 5400RPM stock hard disk drive that came with this MacBook Pro. With the stock hard disk drive, booting up to Mac OS X Lion took around 40 seconds. After installing the solid state drive, it takes around 6 seconds. This is a major improvement over the slow 5400RPM hard disk drive.
To show you all some of the benefits of the speed differences, I downloaded an application in the Mac App Store known as Blackmagic Disk Speed Test which can be downloaded for free here. Below are two pictures; the first one is the 5400RPM hard disk drive's read and write speeds. Under that is the solid state drive's read and write speeds:
You can see that the speed increases are not marginal, but quite the contrary. The speed differences are tremendous. Since images alone are not cool enough to show off of the speed differences of the upgrade, I composed a video showing the difference in speed by duplicating a 740MB video file. The test was done on the same MacBook Pro with the same hardware; the only difference being a hard disk drive and a solid state drive. So the test is accurate to a tee. Additionally, duplicating a file with Mac OS X demonstrates both read and write speeds, as the drive has to read the original file to write a copy of it. Here is the comparison:
The solid state drive was done within seconds; the hard disk drive took over a minute. Over time, these speed differences make a huge difference in your computing. I am very happy with the upgrade.
MacBook Pro 13" original hard disk drive specifications:
5400RPM Seagate 320GB; 2.5 inch hard disk drive
MacBook Pro 13" new solid state drive specifications:
NAND Crucial M4 128GB; 2.5 inch solid state drive
All in all, I've noticed better battery life, better speeds, and a better computer. I recommend the Crucial solid state drive upgrade. Crucial manufactures RAM and solid state upgrades for just about any computer on the market. They operate from a company called Micron which produces their memory upgrades. The pricing is great. I got myself an 8GB RAM upgrade for only $50 there; doing so through Apple would have cost me $200. I highly recommend the solid state drive upgrade to anyone who is serious about boosting the speed of their computer. It comes with a price tag; but I couldn't be happier with the end results.
You can pick up a Crucial solid state drive for yourself from Crucial's Web Site or you can order the same 128GB 2.5 inch model that I bought by clicking here.
The cost lineup for one of Crucial's solid state drives are as follows:

Alabama Property Tax Home Page
Amendment 373 of the Constitution provides that all real and personal business property will be assessed at 20% of its fair market value. That is, for property with a fair market value of $1,000,000, the assessed value would be $200,000 ($1,000,000 * 20%). The combined state and local millage rate would then be applied to the assessed value.
Section 214 of the Constitution limits the state millage rate on both real and personal property to 6.5 mills (3 mills for education, 1 mill for relief, and 2.5 mills for general uses). This rate is equivalent to a tax of $6.50 for every $1000 of assessed value.
However, both cities and counties may levy millage rates in addition to the state's 6.5 mills. These local rates vary, but the average rate statewide is 42 mills, including the state's 6.5 mills. For real and personal business property with a fair market value of $1,000,000 the average property tax would be only $8,400 ($1,000,000 * 20% * .042). Click here for "Year 2002 Millage Rates" for all Alabama counties (.pdf format) or (Excel spreadsheet format).
The Tax Incentive Reform Act of 1992 (TIRA) allows qualified industries to receive abatements of non-educational property taxes for new businesses locating to Alabama, and for expansions of existing facilities in Alabama. TIRA is in law at Chapter 9B, Title 40, Code of Alabama 1975. Click here for more information on tax abatements.
All equipment, facilities, or materials constructed or acquired primarily for the control, reduction, or elimination of air or water pollution are statutorily exempt from property taxation. The pollution control exemption is provided in Section 40-9-1(20), Code of Alabama 1975. Click here for more information on property tax exemptions.
All raw materials, finished goods, and stocks of goods, wares, and merchandise held for resale are statutorily exempt from property taxes. The raw materials exemption is provided in Section 40-9-1(13), Code of Alabama 1975. The finished goods exemption is provided in Section 40-1(14), Code of Alabama 1975. The inventory exemption is provided in Section 40-9-1(23), Code of Alabama 1975, and in Amendment 373 to the Alabama Constitution of 1901. Click here for more information on property tax exemptions.
Alabama cities are classified by population, according to the 1970 Census (see Section 11-40-12, Code of Alabama 1975). Class 6 Cities (according to their population in 1970) currently are:
|Alexander City
|Mountain Brook
Alabama law (Sections 11-51-220 through 11-51-241, Code of Alabama 1975) allows the governing body of a Class 6 City to grant two kinds of exemptions from city property taxes, separately from, and in addition to, the "tax abatements" mentioned above.
First, the governing body of a Class 6 City may grant a partial or complete exemption from "city property taxes" (which does not include city educational property taxes) for "any parcel of land or personal property located within the city for a period of not more than 15 years" (see Section 11-51-221, Code of Alabama 1975).
Second, the governing body of a Class 6 City and the board of education of the municipality, "may grant, with respect to any parcel of commercial property located within the municipality, for a period of not more than 15 years, a partial or complete exemption from the portion of the municipal and county ad valorem taxes allocated for municipal educational purposes which exceeds 20 mills" subject to the provision that the property taxes from the parcel of property, for municipal educational purposes, for the year preceding the first year of exemption, do not decrease under the exemption (see Section 11-51-241, Code of Alabama 1975).

The fishtail braid got a new twist on the runway of the Veronica Beard show during Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week. Here's how to get the look!
-Courtney Leiva
If you Bettys have been hopelessly scratching to get the hottest Mercedes-Benz New York fashion Week beauty looks all on your own, we've got a step-by-step guide on how to get the GORGE braids hot off of Veronica Beard's runway. Inspired by cowboy and Western wear, the designing sisters-in-law Veronica Miere Beard and Veronica Swanson Beard worked closely and carefully with Original Mineral's Creative Director, Janelle Chaplin, to successfully interpret cowgirl style. To create long and lush braids a la Veronica Beard, check out Janelle's tips below for the complete beauty scoop:
1. To build the right foundation for the braid, apply O&M's Rootalicious ($24.95, originalmineral.com) onto dry hair. Then, brush the hair with a flat, broad head brush to give it floaty texture.
2. Start your braid by gathering the hair to one side. Next, create a volumized side fishtail braid that has the same dimensions from top to bottom.
Read MBFW Backstage Beauty: Deborah Lippmann's Berry Nails at Richard Chai's Show
3. To give the style some added texture, tease the braid with O&M's K-Gravel texture clay ($22.95, originalmineral.com) and Surf Bomb sea salt texture spray ($21.95, originalmineral.com). This will develop the look's rough texture and give the illusion of a non-styled, gritty 'do.
4. To finish the braid, Janelle recommends using electric cable ties instead of rubber bands or elastic hair ties, as they lock strands in place by giving it a tighter grip while causing less damage.
Add a snappy fedora if you're feeling mysterious. Now go rock that runway!

LAKEWOOD - Four people were arrested and five additional suspects were sought Tuesday after investigators from the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control conducted an undercover operation at a bar in Lakewood.
ABC investigators said they discovered illegal drug activity at The Hideaway, a restaurant/bar at 5523 South St. in Lakewood, and began a four-month investigation during which they reportedly were able to purchase marijuana, heroin, Vicodin and Xanax.
Purchases were made from seven different individuals, and it is believed each was done with the knowledge, and in some instances direct aiding and abetting, by various bartenders and/or employees of the bar, according to the agency.
During the last undercover operation at The Hideaway on Dec. 13, the investigators purchased marijuana from a patron and as a result, a felony arrest for sales of marijuana was made, authorities said.
A search warrant was also served at a local residence, resulting in a seizure of about one pound of marijuana, several different types of prescription pills, and paraphernalia.

Price Paid: $24.95
I bought this stove after doing some comparisons of other iso/but stoves. The Classic Trail was bought for quickie weekend get-aways when weight is not important. I was initially looking into a Snow Peak Giga (which I did buy...one for me and one for my son). The snow peaks are for extended trips where every oz counts.
The Classic struck me as a very stable design with no moving parts except for the valve. The Burner also looked to offer a wide flame pattern less likely to burn-in the center of a pot. First impressions when I got it home was that it looks as if the same person that designed the M1 Abrams tank designed the stove. I could probably kick it off a cliff and it would still work.
My first use was at 6,000' feet with lows in the 30's. The stove worked very well. The 4 pot supports offer outstanding stability and wind protection. The flame adjustment is touchy until you know the sweet spots. Adjustability is limited to off, low, med and high…no in between. Boils about 2.7 min and it burns quiet.
This is a no frills stove. As a Scout Leader, I'm going to suggest this stove as the one to buy for the boys. Kids are rough on equipment and this stove can take it. Its only shortcoming is its weight at 8oz.

Price Paid: $25.99
This stove is great, especially for the price. I have taken it on almost every backpacking trip I have been on for the past two years. It boils water for my freeze dried meals very quickly (2 minutes or so) and has a wide range of heat for different kinds of meals. No complaints.

Price Paid: $24.95
I purchased this stove from Gear For Adventure for 2-3 day trips. At first I brought along a back up multi fuel stove, Just In Case. I didn't need it. This little baby can boil, simmer and cook with no problem.
One of the other reviewers said that there were "sweet spots" on the gas control knobs. I didn't find that so with my unit. As a matter of fact I double checked it at home after the trip and found it smooth as can be.
It is a great companion to the Primus Alpine Light, another purchase from Gear for Adventure, which I have found is a really good resource when it comes to accurate descriptions and great prices. Heck they take PayPal!
Happy Trails!

Great stove for the beginning backpacker and weekend warrior! I have several backpacking stoves but I keep going back to the Classic Trail because of the reliability and ease of use.
- Easy to use
- Boils water in approx. 3 minutes
- A bit heavy for the weight-minded hiker
I stumbled upon this neat little stove online and the first thing I noticed was the amazing price compared to other stoves on the market. I had been thinking about a stove I could use for just grab-and-go weekend trips and nights on the river where ultra-light wasn't a concern.
The stove comes in two separate pieces in a decent drawstring bag that makes it convenient to stow. I feel that it is one of the easiest stoves to operate on the market and the output is remarkable.
The first time I used this stove was on a hunting trip and we used it as an additional source for cooking next to our Coleman multi fuel. Everyone in the hunting party was impressed with how quickly it boiled water and the simple setup. I was able to boil water for potatoes and noodles in approximately 3 minutes in sheltered conditions.
One of the nicest features is the large pot stand. When I take this stove in the backcountry I am not concerned about my cook pot dumping or upsetting the stove. I would consider it one of the safest stoves on the market.
I have passed up more high dollar stoves in my gear inventory and taken this little gem to places such as Patagonia, backpacking in the Mojave, canoeing, river rafting and hunting. It is not only for the budget-minded, it is for anyone that enjoys simplicity and downright usefulness.

Handy little stove that does the job. Packs easily and works effortlessly.
- Price
- Ease of use
- Bit heavier than I wanted, but the price offsets that.
Just picked up a Primus trail stove classic. Very simple to use and very straightforward stove.
Didn't use it in very high wind so cannot comment how it works in that type of weather.
Used it 3 times on my last 3-day trip.
I used it at an elevation of about 5500-6000 feet and it wasn't a long wait time for water to boil. Sets up very easy and putting it away is just as simple.
All in all a very decent stove. It was a bit heavier than the PocketRocket and SuperFly I was looking at, but for 25 bucks you cannot complain!

Great little backpacking stove. A stove of this type is necessary for your fast and light arsenal, or really just anyone who backpacks. Not the lightest of this type, but inexpensive and very reliable
- Weight
- Performance
- Simplicity
Put it on top of your canister, turn on the gas, light the gas. Cook. Eat. Repeat. That's the name of the game here. No more pumping, filtering, stabilizing. The canister system made famous by Jetboil remains the go-to for my fast and light system.
This goes inside of my cook set. It's small, stable, and so easy to light at high winds and high altitudes. I do recommend heavy duty "foil" to wrap around the system, then you have your own inexpensive, insulated, lightweight, Jetboil.
The stove is a little bigger than other on-the-canister stoves, but that makes it hold pots better. Less scalding fingers. I have used this on week-longs, 50-milers, snow camps and picnics.
I highly recommend this stove.

Great stove at a Killer Price.
This is one of those instances where you can actually save a little money and not sacrifice on quality. My Primus has performed flawlessly up to 11K feet over its first 50 or so uses and I don't expect anything to change.
It's a solid piece of equipment that boils fast, burns evenly and, so far, has worked in a variety of conditions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tough little stove.
I bought this and compared it with Pocket Rocket,…
Price Paid: $25
I bought this and compared it with Pocket Rocket, SnowPeak Giga, and Coleman Peak canister stove. First, this stove is FAR more stable when it comes to holding a can or pot or pan. The stove boiled 2 cups of water 45 seconds to a minute faster than the others. (4700 feet) This stove has far better at flame control (simmering) than the others. The SnowPeak Giga and PocketRocket cool down faster (able to touch metal to put away).
In my opinion, the stability, the faster cook time, and ability to simmer makes the 3 or 4 extra ounces in weight ok with me. I like it!

American Art Deco blares its vintage visage in a platinum-topped signed ring by Elias Rees & Son of New York. The company had an outstanding reputation for their settings, especially those incorporating diamonds.
Quite distinctive, an open work oval incorporates a web like foliate form set with three (3) natural demantoids and eight (8) old European cut diamonds with a total estimated diamond weight of .10 carats. The luscious green contrast against a network of platinum-topped 14k yellow gold affords an eye-popping bolt of color. Split shoulders and a banded shank of 14k yellow gold affords yet another counterpoint of color so desired during this era.

Senate Panel: Homeland Security Data Centers Mainly Terrorize Citizens
Jason Mick
October 3, 2012 7:33 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Report finds that while the centers may lead to civil liberties violations, they don't do much to catch terrorists
In a new 146-page report
by the
Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation
, a bipartisan panel of senators calls into question the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
's (DHS) claims that so-called "Fusion" data centers have successfully been employed to stop terrorists.
I. Surprise! The Fed. Government Wasted Taxpayer Money on Abusive Scheme
While the DHS claimed that the centers were used to stop the Afghan immigrant Najibullah Zazi's 2009 plot to bomb the New York subway, the Senate "could identify nothing that uncovered a terrorist threat, nor could it identify a contribution any fusion center made to disrupt an active terrorist plot."
Contrast that with what DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a 2010 speech in which she commented, "It was a fusion center near Denver that played the key role in 'fusing' the information that came from the public with evidence that came in following the [subway plot] suspect's arrest by the FBI."
The Senate committee said that the 2009 plot and others -- like a 2010 effort to place a car bomb in Times Square -- were not cracked by the Fusion centers at all. The officers involved in the cases would have done the exact same thing they did to crack those cases, with or without the data center. For example, in the subway plot, the Colorado state troopers who solved the cases were working
their state's data center, but their detective work to discover and stop the plot came from the agency they were primarily reporting to -- the
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation
The Senate concludes that when all the privileged details of the investigations were considered, there was no sign that the pricey data centers were successful at fighting any known terrorist plot.
So what
the data centers accomplish? According to the panel the legacy is mostly negative. They claim the Fusion centers -- whose objective is ostensibly to share national intelligence with state/local law enforcement and analyze potential terrorist threats -- in the end mostly ended up violating U.S. citizens' civil liberties.
"Fusion" data centers did little to stop terrorism, but did violate civil liberties and waste taxpayer dollars, according to the Senate. [Image Source: The LA Times]
Writes the panel, "[DHS liaisons] forwarded 'intelligence' of uneven quality — oftentimes shoddy, rarely timely, sometimes endangering citizens' civil liberties and Privacy Act protections, occasionally taken from already-published public sources, and more often than not unrelated to terrorism."
One example of such a shoddy effort is in the case of the Illinois Statewide Terrorism and Intelligence Center's recent claims that a Russian hacker had stolen sensitive usernames and passwords from a state utility. Those claims would haunt an IT worker from the utility, who had merely been doing his employer's bidding by remotely (and securely) managing systems while abroad on vacation.
Because of the poor detective work, it took some time for authorities to realize the devious "hacker" was merely a figment of agents' overactive imaginations. And in the meantime the employee faced unwelcome scrutiny, for basically doing his job.
II. Trading Freedom for Security
It's a story that Americans have grown
all too accustomed to
in the post-9/11 "police state" era: unwilling to be troubled with solid detective work, and with a wealth of
new abusable privileges
, citizens' civil liberties are trampled even as the government does little to ensure their safety.
Worst of all, the Senators were unable to even able to figure out how much was spent on the data centers, only able to ascertain it was between $289M to $1.4B USD in taxpayer money arguably down the drain.
Of course the bipartisan panel can only wave the finger at
Presidents George W. Bush
Barack Obama
who signed the funding bills and Fusion center plans into law. After, all it was the House and Senate who passed the funding and authorizations that called for the centers in the first place.
Some defend the Fusion centers. For example the
Los Angeles Police Department
's (LAPD) counterterrorism chief, Deputy Chief Michael Downing,
Los Angeles Times
that despite a lot of "white noise", "There are occasionally gold nuggets."
Unsurprisingly DHS spokesman Michael Chandler also labeled the investigation as "fundamentally flawed", commenting, "The committee report on federal support for fusion centers is out of date, inaccurate and misleading.
The DHS claims the Senate is wrong and that the "Fusion" centers are great. [Image Source: CyTalk]
Whether or not the centers were as useless as the Senators' report claims, the report does make clear the key problem was that the centers were tasking state/local law enforcement agents with investigation responsibilities that they were incapable of handling, rather than leaving their use up to the various sophisticated federal law enforcement agencies that know how to best make use of those mid-level skilled resources. The results ranged from mistakes to potential abuse.
Thus the U.S. is left to grapple once again with the question of whether its politicians are playing a game of Security Theater.
For those interested, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation members include:
Sen. Carl Levin
Sen. Thomas R. Carper
Sen. Claire McCaskill
Sen. Mary L. Landrieu
Sen. Jon Tester
Sen. Mark Begich
Sen. Tom Coburn
Sen. Susan M. Collins
Sen. Scott Brown
Sen. John McCain
Sen. Rand Paul

Was $149.95 NOW $89.95
Handmade in Somerset, England by Owen Barry, renowned shearling and leather craftsmen whose origins date back to the early 1800s, this is the genuine shearling ivy cap. A staple of casual dress since 1571 when an Act of Parliament compelled men to wear "flat caps" on Sundays and holidays, the ivy cap still retains favor among English gentlemen today. The shearling is tanned from the thick, rich coat of merino sheep that roam wind-swept fields, resulting in a soft, smooth shearling interior and suede leather exterior with a supple nap finish. Artisans hand-sew the cap with double-stitched seams to ensure durability and the shearling interior swaths the head in warmth, insulates it from wind, and naturally wicks moisture away. Shearling-lined ear flaps can be worn around ears or tucked under the hat. (1 1/4 lbs.)
To get the proper fit in a hat, we recommend that you measure your head to determine your proper hat size.
Lifetime Guarantee
The Genuine Englishmen's Shearling Lined Ivy Cap comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

I purchased this good looking cap as a gift. It made sense to me because of the occasional need for the ear flaps and the connecting piece that covers the baack of the neck. Alas, it was too small and when I tried to order a larger size, (XL), it was sold out in both colors. The cap is being returned and I have ordered another item from another source. However, when and if this cap appears in the HS catalog again, I will purchase it.

Gary Bauer claimed Republicans too "gentlemanly" to block judicial nominees
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
Gary L. Bauer, former Republican presidential candidate and president of conservative advocacy organization American Values, falsely claimed that "conservatives never use" the tactics "liberals get away with" to block some of President Bush's judicial nominations because conservatives "approach the controversy in a much more gentlemanly fashion."
On the February 25 edition of Family News in Focus, Focus on the Family's daily radio broadcast, substitute host Keith Peters played a clip from an interview with Bauer, in which they discussed how "to get President Bush's judicial nominees past the Democrat filibuster blockade":
PETERS: Conservatives waging these battles may be too nice.
BAUER: What we have is an uneven playing field where the liberals get away with these kinds of tactics, and the conservatives never use these tactics because they approach the controversy in a much more gentlemanly fashion.
PETERS: He says they must take whatever steps necessary to restore balance to our court system.
In fact, while Democratic senators used the filibuster to block 10 of Bush's 229 first-term judicial nominees, it was Republicans who first initiated a filibuster against a judicial nominee in 1968, forcing Democratic president Lyndon Johnson to withdraw the nomination of Associate Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas to be chief justice. It was, according to a "Historical Minute Essay" on the U.S. Senate website, "the first filibuster in Senate history on a Supreme Court nomination." While conservatives have recently insisted that no filibuster actually occurred during the Fortas nomination process in order to claim that Democrats' filibustering is "unprecedented," a June 5, 2003, Congressional Research Service report described it as "[t]he first clear-cut example of the use of a filibuster against a nomination" and noted that a cloture vote took place:
The first clear-cut example of the use of a filibuster against a nomination, including taking a cloture vote, occurred in 1968 over President Lyndon B. Johnson's decision to elevate Associate Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas to be Chief Justice. Senators spoke for several days on the motion to proceed to the nomination. The vote to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed failed, 45-43, on October 1, and, at Fortas's request, President Johnson withdrew the nomination on October 4.
A June 29, 2003, report by the progressive advocacy organization People for the American Way (PFAW) also pointed out: "As recently as 2000, cloture votes were necessary to obtain votes on the nominations of both Richard Paez and Marsha Berzon to the Ninth Circuit." PFAW noted that current Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, now a primary critic of Democrats' opposition to Bush's judicial nominees, "was among those voting against cloture" -- in other words, supporting a filibuster -- on the Paez nomination.
Moreover, the Republican-controlled Senate prevented approximately 60 of former president Bill Clinton's nominees from receiving a vote on the Senate floor, and in many cases, even a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee. And despite Democrats' opposition to a few of Bush's nominees, The Washington Post pointed out in a December 13, 2003, article that "confirmation of Bush nominees exceeds in most cases the first-term experience of presidents dating to Ronald Reagan."
Senate Republicans under Clinton strictly enforced a "blue slip" rule, which, as The Washington Post explained, is a process in which a senator from a nominee's home state can block a nominee by failing to turn in "blue approval papers that senators are asked to submit on nominees for federal judgeships in their states." Senate Republicans, led by Judiciary Chairman Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and former senator Jesse Helms (R-NC), used the "blue slip" to block Clinton nominees, but Hatch relaxed the policy after Bush became president. Washington Monthly blogger Kevin Drum has tracked Senate Republicans' manipulation of the "blue slip" rule. Additionally, an August 14, 2001, CNN report noted that even Attorney General and then-White House counsel Alberto Gonzales has said that Republican senators' "partisanship over judicial nominations" during the Clinton era was "improper" and "wrong."
Family News in Focus is produced by Focus on the Family, the conservative organization led by James C. Dobson, Ph.D. According to the group's website, Focus on the Family radio programs are broadcast "in 25 languages on over 8,300 radio facilities heard in 164 countries." The regular host of Family News in Focus is Bob Ditmer. According to his bio on the program's website, Ditmer has "worked as a broadcast journalist in some of the top secular stations and markets" and "has a B.S. in Religion from Liberty University," the school founded by Moral Majority founder and right-wing pundit Reverend Jerry Falwell, who serves as its chancellor.

Florida Senate seeking public's health care views
Published: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 2:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 2:41 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Senate is providing a page on its website so citizens can get information on the federal health care overhaul and express their views on the subject.
Senate leaders announced the creation of the page (http://www.flsenate.gov/topics/ppaca ) on Monday.
Tea party and religious activists flooded the room when a select committee on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act met for the first time last week. They denounced the law as unconstitutional although it's been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The state is facing a key decision on whether to expand its Medicaid program with the federal government picking up nearly all of the cost.
Florida also must decide whether it'll set up a health exchange to help consumers get insurance or let the federal government do it.

Salt Lake County's elected officials lined up Tuesday to tell the County Council why they unanimously supported Mayor Peter Corroon's proposed 17.5 percent property tax hike for the 2013 budget.
Starting with Sheriff Jim Winder, a Democrat, and continuing on through Recorder Gary Ott, a Republican, six elected officials described how four years of trimming personnel and projects have left them on the verge of being unable to carry out their legal duties.
"The reality is, we're running out of money," said Winder, who oversees a budget of about$97 million and manages around 730 employees. "The [mayor's $788 million] budget is realistic and appropriate to maintain service levels we need."
Recognizing that the council will face considerable political pressure while pondering whether to approve all or part of Corroon's proposed $31 million tax hike, Winder pledged, "I will stand with you, as I have with the mayor and his staff, to support what is tragic but necessary revenue for this county."
Council members kept their thoughts about the tax increase to themselves as they listened to the officials' presentations Tuesday, peppering each with a few questions before moving on to the next agency.
The 2½-hour review was the council's second budget session since Corroon released his budget on Thursday. The council will spend the next month going over details of the retiring mayor's final budget proposal, department by department.
In mid-December, after a Dec. 11 public hearing, the council will decide whether to go along with all or part of the requested property tax increase, which would be the county's first since 2001.
The proposed increase amounts to $64 a year on a $238,000 home, the county median value. It would appear on tax bills that go out about this time next year.
Corroon called last week for the double-digit boost, saying the inevitable could be delayed no longer. Eleven years without an increase have stripped Salt Lake County of a quarter of its purchasing power, he said, leaving the county with two choices: Raise taxes to keep service levels where they are now, or cut back even more, an option he deemed no longer possible.
Citing the full support of the elected officials, Corroon specified that the tax hike was needed largely for two issues: to finish restoring the compensation packages of 3,600 county employees, whose wages and benefits were reduced when the Great Recession exploded four years ago, and to take care of badly needed deferred-maintenance projects around the county.
The elected officials backed Corroon completely Tuesday.
Without a tax increase, Democratic District Attorney Sim Gill said, his office would be forced to lay off personnel.
"We don't have discretion if you want to cut our budget," he said. "I can't round up the criminals and tell them to cut their bad behavior 10 percent."
County Surveyor Reid Demman, a Republican, said he now has five fewer employees to monitor 850 square miles, coordinating a public land survey system that "is the very foundation of property-tax collections. ... I simply can't take any more cuts and perform my statutory duties."
Cut any deeper now and the savings will be counterproductive, warned County Treasurer Wayne Cushing, with the backing of County Assessor Lee Gardner, inhibiting the county's ability to collect taxes that are due. Both belong to the GOP.
"We need a tax increase," Gardner said. "I need to publicly state that.
"I don't see a good alternative for where we are at this juncture," he said, imploring the council not to take a shortcut that might reduce protests this year but result in another tax increase proposal next year or the year after.

Young Harris, Ga. – The Brevard College Tornados fell to the Young Harris Mountain Lions in 74-50 in nonconference action at YHC Basketball Arena on Sunday afternoon.
The Mountain Lions got off to a quick start thanks to some hot shooting early, jumping out to a 17-5 lead after hitting eight of their first 11 shots from the floor.
Young Harris kept BC at bay for the rest of the first half, and took a 36-26 lead into the half.
Senior Candice Fritz scored six straight points to open the second half to bring the Tornados within four at points 36-32, but Ladondra Johnson answered with four straight points to swell the Young Harris lead to eight.
The 6-0 run is as close as the Tornados would come to leading, and the Mountain Lions worked the ball inside to increase their advantage in the second half. Young Harris outscored BC 49-19 in the paint on the afternoon.
Freshman Tuccoa Brackett led the BC offense with 12 points, while Micheala Watkins finished with 10.
BC returns to the hardwood on Saturday, December 8th as they take on the Lees-McRae Bobcats in Williams Gymnasium at 2 p.m.

sorry for the late reply mr. Phoneywar - I wish I had more time to play around with this project. unfortunately it got shelved a while back and I just haven't had the energy to get started again.
The good news, however, is that I can inherit some old IBM servers and a NORTEL switch from my employer so I do have the possibility of making something useful out of this.
However, I am far from a pro when it comes to honeynets and it would require a lot of work.. maybe if enough people of this forum would be interested in a coop project we could get something started?

Co-stars and pals Tyrese and Ludacris chatted with TheGrio about who they'd love to lock lips with should there be yet another "Fast & Furious" sequel.
Hands down? It's Halle Berry!
"We're both fighting over Halle Berry being in the franchise and having sex scenes," Ludacris said. "Yes we need that."
"She does these big franchise type movies," Tyrese added. "We've seen Jordana pregnant, she's pregnant right now. We could really make use of Halle Berry in this movie. Give me some of that Halle Berry bottom lip c'mon."
The latest film hits theaters on Friday. Halle? Are you reading? The boys are waiting for you.

Pittsburg, Kan. - Don Hansen's Football Gazette has released its 2009 NCAA Division II All-Super Region Two squad yesterday, marking the seventh year Football Gazette has selected NCAA Division II All-Region teams. Brevard College's Stanley Jones, Michael Gist and Justin Jefferson were selected to the team after their contributions guided the Tornados to a 7-4 record in the Tornados fourth year on the playing field.
Jones, a senior inside linebacker from Spartanburg, S.C., led the South Atlantic Conference in tackles and tackles per game this season with 116 total tackles with an average of 10.5 per game to go with four sacks and 12 tackles for loss in being named to the Don Hansen's All-Super Region Two squad as a First Team selection. Jones finishes his collegiate career as the modern-day record holder in tackles for the Tornados with 344 tackles in his career. Jones was also named SAC Defensive Player of the Week this season on his 16 tackle-three sack performance in week three against Chowan and was named a member of the 2009 All-SAC First Team by the coaches in the South Atlantic Conference.
Gist and Jefferson were both selected to Don Hansen's All-Super Region Two Third Team.
Gist, a 2009 All-SAC First Teamer as the sophomore from North Augusta, Ga. finished second in the South Atlantic Conference in interceptions with five on the season, in which he accumulated 157 return yards, including an 87-yard interception return for a touchdown against Southern Virginia that sealed the win for the Tornados. Gist finished the season with 59 tackles and was seventh in the SAC in passes defended with 11.
Jefferson, a senior defensive end from Greensboro, N.C., was an All-SAC Second Team selection, finishing the season tied for the most quarterback sacks in the South Atlantic Conference with nine on the season. Jefferson had arguably his best game of the season also against Chowan as he recorded eight tackles and 3.5 sacks in the game as the Tornados dropped the Hawks quarterback nine times in the game. Jefferson, who also works with the Brevard College men's basketball team as a Student Assistant, finished the season with 51 tackles and was fourth in the conference in both tackles for loss and fumble recoveries with 12.5 tackles for loss on the season and three recoveries.
The national publication, an authority on small college football, has selected NCAA Division II All-America teams since 1988.
The first-team and second-team All-Region selections advance to a national ballot from which the 2009 NCAA Division II Football Gazette All-America team will be named in later this month.
National Quarterfinalist University of North Alabama of the Gulf South Conference led the way with 11 honorees, including a pair of first-team selections. National semifinalist Carson-Newman College was next with eight selections and two first-teamers as well. GSC-member Arkansas Tech had three first-team selections among its five honorees. The University of North Carolina-Pembroke, an independent, along with GSC-member University of West Alabama also had five selections to the squad.
A total of 93 players earned some form of Football Gazette All-Super Region Two honors. Players from 27 schools in Super Region Two earned All-Region accolades.

Sorry my ignorance but timstewart tut. is only for RTL8187L ?
What is the difference between RTL8187L and RTL8187b ?
I have an RTL8187b and I can't connect to the internet buy wireless...
Anyone with this chipset can connect to wireless network?
I followed the instructions here from timstewart. Everything worked without errors (thanks for that tut ^^)
Now i have some problems/Questions.
the ./wlan0up does not exist when i try (no such file or dir. ) am i in the wrong dir ??
second thing : before i patched, the comand airmon-ng start wlan0 made a mon0 interface , now it doesn't anymore ..
and the last thing : when i do the steps
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 ap bssid,
is the one with the bssid the last step, then i get a error (Interface wlan0 doesn't support IP addresses)
Should i re-install everything or am i getting something wrong ?
Sorry my ignorance but timstewart tut. is only for RTL8187L ?
What is the difference between RTL8187L and RTL8187b ?
I have an RTL8187b and I can't connect to the internet buy wireless...
Anyone with this chipset can connect to wireless network?
Forget ./wlan0up
The mac80211 drivers produce mon0. The ieee80211 drivers dont. You just use wlan0.
Is it the bssid or essid you are trying to set? To set essid and wep key use:
iwconfig wlan0 essid <AP essid> key <wep key>
try iwconfig --help for a list of (hopefully) useable parameters
I don't think you need to reinstall. Just read a bit more. Good luck.
Obviously the rtl8187l and the rtl8187b are different chipsets as they do need different drivers. Use the forum search or go lego for the answer. Other people have managed to sort it.
You will have more luck searching in the BT3 sections for WPA and rtl8187. I would think you will need to use wpasupplicant with the old drivers. To be honest, anyone starting with BT would be better starting with BT3 as there is a lot more help. BT4b is Ubuntu based and very new. Its all a learning curve. Nothing whatsoever wrong with BT3 though.
I bought an Alfa AWUS036H i can crack perfectly with the old drivers but i cant connect to any wireless network!!
I do:
And the globe (network manager) stays green. I create a new connection with everything, globe disappear and appear another "thing"... But it cant connect, the other thing that substitutes the globe stays there and it says (Device: wlan0 state: Disconnected).Code:/etc/init.d/networking start /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
Do you know why??
I don't use newtork manager with bt3 (or bt4). I prefer to use the command line.
In BT3, after you have cracked your network make sure your Alfa is back to managed mode. Then set the essid and network key (for wep anyway - wpa is a bit more involded, but you can read up on that).
either unplug and re-insert the Alfa or
# airmon-ng stop wlan0
or even
# iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid <your essid> key <your wep key>
If you now type 'iwconfig' you will see the channel your Alfa is on at that point and also if the access point (AP) is still 'Not-Associated'. After one or two more 'iwconfig' commands you will see the channel number increase and when this number matches the channel that your AP is transmitting on the 'Not-Associated' bit should change to the bssid (mac address) of your AP. Your Alfa is now connected to your AP. All thats left is to get or set an IP address and gateway etc.
# dhcpcd wlan0
(or whatever you use) or set it manually.
Now wep is working. thanks timstewart
To connect to wpa I use the ndiswrapper driver and wpa_supplincant. Is this the only way?
Using backtrack for the first time is like being 10 years old again with the keys to a Ferrari.
