With one of the most in-depth collections of Lebbeus Woods's works in the world, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is the perfect museum to host a retrospective of the architect's career. And after his passing last October, now would be the perfect time for such a retrospective. But the reason and the timing for 'Lebbeus Woods, Architect,' which opened on Feb. 16 and runs through June 2, are purely coincidence. Co-curators Joseph Becker and Jennifer Dunlop Fletcher had been working with Woods on the exhibition before his death, as it was to be the last one in the 1995 Mario Botta building before Snøhetta and EHDD begin work on an expansion. To Becker and Fletcher, Woods represents everything that SFMOMA's architecture and design department stands for: exploring architecture's possibilities as an agent of change and societal exploration. "The potential for architecture is really limitless," Becker says. "It's a larger idea than the city, than the building you sit in, than the glass that keeps you inside as opposed to outside. It's this latent feeling of 'what-if.'" One-hundred-and-seventy-five of Woods's drawings that explore that what-if will be on view, as well as 13 of his models. We talked to Becker about what it was like to work with Woods, and how the exhibition has changed since his passing—now to say more about architecture at large than just about architecture at SFMOMA.
When did you start working on the exhibition?
Last summer, which made for a very compressed timeline for an exhibition. SFMOMA was about to close for an expansion and we really wanted to do this show with Lebbeus [before then]. At the time, he was alive and we were working directly with him.
Why this subject for your last exhibition before the expansion started?
His work occupies a really important part of our collection and design. It was a good moment to put works on view that had been collected by the past four curators. It was a good opportunity to state that SFMOMA's collection of architecture and design is really focused on the questions that architects can pose and the potential of architecture to challenge our perception and our environment. Lebbeus's work has always been about the what-if, but in a very real way: What if we just change a couple things, can you suppose that that would change certain social normative conditions, or hierarchical conditions, or spatial conditions?
At what point in the process did you lose Woods?
He passed away right in the middle. We had planned on perhaps doing an installation with him, but then the exhibition shifted. It's now really devoted to drawings and models. That's the bulk of his career, though he did do a number of spatial installations through exhibitions. Now the exhibition is very focused on key projects from the past 30 or so years that deal with certain recurring themes and also show an evolution of his focus.
Do you think that the exhibition will now have a retrospective feel that it might not have had before?
A lot of people who don't know his work are going to discover it. There has been a lot of attention on his career in lieu of his passing that brings this exhibition a little bit more to the forefront. It's an interesting challenge in that we have to present highly conceptual and theoretical architecture to a public that's varied in its degree of understanding. The goal is to cater both to people who are already familiar with Lebbeus and his projects and to go more in depth, but to give a very approachable presentation for people who don't know anything about him.
SFMOMA as a whole is very committed to presenting really engaging projects, but specifically, within the department of architecture and design, we've always been focused on the more experimental and the more conceptual and visionary architecture works. It's not necessarily about what is just good design out in the world, but rather what projects might ask larger questions or have a larger tie-in to the speculative universe. Our department was established in the early '80s, and since then, we've focused on the hypothetical, the critical. Not only through architecture, but also through industrial design. It blurs the line often of what we would traditionally consider starchitecture and the practice of the architect. We're establishing the fact that Lebbeus Wood is an architect even though there are no built buildings to his name. That's kind of what we've established within our department, to present projects that challenge the notion of what is and what is not [architecture.]
How do you explain to visitors who don't know Woods how we was an architect, though he never built anything?
That has to do with the questions your work is attempting to ask, questions of space and usage and functionality. What does architecture do? What does architecture do for humanity? What are its shortfalls? What are its potentials? Even without building something, he's [Woods is] engaging within the process of architecture, the discourse. As a professor for so many years at Cooper Union, he was able to inspire generations of architects in thinking about what questions to ask and how to answer them. It's not that he never built anything, it's just that he never built a building. But when you think of an architect, you think of an entire building envelope. The built form … might have inhibited him from ever wanting to build a building. It would always be constrained by the rules within which we live, and he was proposing something beyond that: What if we didn't have to deal with gravity? What if we didn't have to deal with government agencies? What kind of architecture would that reveal?

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). With Vbox you can actually import the image of VMware.
GUYs I have downloaded the 32bit GNOME Torrent , Hashs ran perfectly fine. Now when I tried to power on the VM image on my VMWare Worstation 7.0.0.
I got this Error:- http://tinypic.com/r/jrcjyb/6
So I thought Upgrading to VMware Workstation wud be the Solution , Until I found this :-
VMware Workstation 8 needs a 64bit Processor.
Whats the Solution now ?? I did the Upgrade as well to VMware Workstation 7.1.5 but issue still persists.
Anyone knows the fix ??
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). With Vbox you can actually import the image of VMware.
Thanks davidparreira , On Oracle VirtualBox the BT5R3 GNOME 32bit VM image runs fine. But It does not solve my problem , As I am using Vmware workstation for my complete LAB setup.
Is their any Fix for this UP ??
Here is the Config I am using at the Moment:-
Vmware Workstation :- 7.1.5 build 49171
Laptop CPU:- 32bit
I am not able to Run the Latest BT5R3 VM image (32-bit)
Guys Issue Fixed you have to Edit the VMX File of the BT5R3 and edit the Following 2 values, Change it to 7 :--
config.version = "8"
virtualHW.version = "8"
After this the VM image will work nicely with VMware Workstation 7.X
Just curious what is difference between the 7 and the 8...
I Tell you why, in my set up, running VMware 7.14, KDE-32, I have in VMX file:
config.version = "7"
virtualHW.version = "8"
I just have the usual problem with the RTL8187 and the rfkill mask 2, just run an scrip to turn off and back on
and I am good to go.
I have some problem running, Fern_Wifi but only when I try to Hijack the seccion, it take the network down,
no matter what I do and it does not work, but other than that, works great with everything else.
Thanks for the tip

You might, but more research is needed to know for sure. Ovary removal (oophorectomy), often done in conjunction with hysterectomy, has a dramatic effect on your body before menopause. This abrupt loss of your ovaries is also called surgical menopause, because it triggers all the changes of menopause.
Your ovaries produce most of your body's estrogen, a reproductive hormone that has many functions beyond regulating your menstrual cycle. Estrogen may protect your brain from age-related changes leading to cognitive impairment and dementia.
Some studies have suggested that early oophorectomy may increase your risk of dementia or other cognitive function deficits. Some research suggests that you may help offset this risk by taking hormone therapy (HT) until you reach a natural age of menopause.
More research will be needed before doctors can know for sure whether oophorectomy will increase your risk of dementia and whether HT is necessary.
That's why it's important to talk with your doctor before deciding to have an oophorectomy.
For some women, oophorectomy is worth the long–term risks. If you carry one of the genetic mutations that make you likely to develop breast and ovarian cancers, for example, this surgery may save your life — even if you don't take HT.

text: Shocking no one Farrah Abraham decided not to take a lie detector test and earn herself a very easy $1M from Vivid. All she had to do was answer all the questions truthfully and she walked away with some serous cash. If she lied she forfeited all future royalties from her sex tape. Although I expected her to not take the test if she was smart she would take it. Everyone knows she lies about almost everything. So, she takes the test and answers everything correctly and gets herself $1M and keeps her royalties. So, she would have had a few days of backlash because of the things she said. Who cares? She has $1M plus everything else and as soon as the test is over and the funds deposited she can go right back to lying or say she was on drugs or drunk or whatever else she wants to say and start the whole cycle again. She is probably not going to make $1M more from all of her royalties even with the new footage. She would have to make a brand new tape to make that kind of money again so the $1M would have probably kept her from making another movie for at least a couple of years.

ANAHEIM, Richard Stegemeier, A former CEO of Unocal Corp.: Unless someone
|A hydrogen powered car, an FCX Clarity, fills up at a hydrogen refueling station at UC Irvine (Register file photo).
quickly invents a perpetual motion machine, the "Hydrogen Highway" should begin at Disneyland ["'Hydrogen highway' paved with subsidies," Editorial, Oct. 18].
California is continuously broke but somehow finds a way to spend $220 million on 100 hydrogen refueling stations. Today, each of those stations would serve not even one car. That's bad enough, but the technical justification is a willful falsehood.
Gov. Jerry Brown signed an executive order last year that orders 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles on California's roads by 2025. It further stipulates that they should cost no more than a conventional car ["will be accessible to mainstream consumers"] and that there must be an infrastructure of hydrogen and electric-charging stations to fuel those vehicles.
In other words the transportation industry must suspend any rational economic plan for the future ZEVs including these hydrogen-powered cars. But an overall hydrogen-fuel system emits more CO2 than natural-gas powered cars. That's because the contrived definition of a ZEV assumes that hydrogen fuel appears magically out of nowhere.
Hydrogen is an extremely dangerous gas that was the source of the Hindenburg catastrophe in 1937. Today, more than 95 percent of all hydrogen is produced in oil refineries and chemical plants using natural gas as its feedstock. It takes energy – lots of it – to produce hydrogen.
According to the Department of Energy, it takes 1.6 times as much natural gas energy to produce a pound of hydrogen as there is in the net hydrogen fuel energy delivered at the station.
The consequence, of course, is that a hydrogen-fuel system produces 1.6 times as much CO2 as would happen if a car fleet burned natural gas directly.
The California Air Resources Board, and others that ignore the energy consumed and the CO2 emitted in a hypothetical, future hydrogen-energy economy, are being deliberately dishonest. By a simple analogy, a person could load his SUV on a flat-bed truck and haul it to the top of Mt. Baldy. If the owner coasted down the hill to Pasadena, the car would then be, by California's definition, a zero-emission vehicle.
The hydrogen highway will increase greenhouse gases, not diminish them. When will Californians see that they are being duped?
Respect others' challenges
YORBA LINDA, John Cella: Columnist Suzanne Broughton writes about an older couple who elects not to walk up a hill to see a sunset ["I'm trying to lead by example," OC Family, Oct. 22]. Broughton wrote:
"But I got the feeling as I stood there observing the scene – their unwillingness to even consider walking, their daughter's quick surrender, their solemn cloud – that theirs was a lifetime of deciding to sit in the car."
Could Broughton's statement be more presumptuous? Many people suffer silently with pains, ailments and disabilities that are not readily apparent to others. Perhaps this woman and her husband were once vibrant, productive, active contributors to society but now must live within severe limitations.
Broughton needs to familiarize herself with the world of "invisible illness." Perhaps she could start by tracking down that couple and finding out their reality rather than writing shallow observations and boasting about how hard she is going to try.
Millions of people are facing much greater challenges with much more courage and effort than she seems even vaguely familiar with. Get off your high horse, Ms. Broughton, and count your blessings.
A stint at the bottom of the hill could be in anyone's future.

DAVENPORT, IA -- Hasty Tasty Vending, a Canteen Vending Services franchise based here, has acquired Clinton, IA-based Gateway Vending. The acquisition increases Hasty Tasty's penetration of its previously expanded service area.
Hasty Tasty added CL Swanson Corp.'s Iowa business when Compass Group North America's Canteen Vending Services division acquired the company's vending and dining operations last April. | SEE STORY
Since the CL Swanson locations are an hour away from Hasty Tasty's headquarters, acquiring Gateway, which is closer to them, was an ideal solution, according to Mark Rosset of Chicago-based Professional Vending Consultants, who facilitated the transaction.
Gateway Vending's former owner, Matt Johnson, has joined Hasty Tasty to run the Clinton division from its existing warehouse, and with its same employees.
"And all that business of Swanson's is now neatly folded in to the Gateway warehouse," Rosset said.

This is the acoustic guitar that mounts over a doorway and plays a chord of one's choice when a door is opened or closed. A fully playable 1/2-size acoustic six-string, the guitar mounts above a door with the included mounting hardware with the strings facing down. A plectrum fixed to a flexible spring mounts to an inward-swinging door, such that when the door is opened or closed, the plectrum sweeps across the strings to play a chord. The included pitch pipe and chord chart are keyed to enable tuning to a chord that fits the day's mood or a portal's intended use, whether a major that welcomes expected company, a pensive minor seventh that "guards" a teen's bedroom, or a complex diminished when anticipating an in-law that often arrives unannounced via a back door. The guitar has a spruce laminate top, solid rosewood bridge and fingerboard, and sapele neck, allowing normal play when removed from the mounting board with the included re-usable fasteners. Guitar extends 11 1/4" from wall; mounting board 30 1/2" L x 4" H x 3/4" D. (8 lbs.)

Timeless Gem

Best Uses
This doorbell is installed in our son's room. He plays the guitar. He's a sound sleeper. He's also grumpy when I wake him up. Now when his friends show up, I let them wake him up with the guitar strum. Seems to be working...I'm not yelled at by a grumpy teen anymore.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Says Prophetic Dreams Are Pointing to Imminent Spectacular Changes for Humanity
News | September 20, 2009 | UPDATED: September 22, 2009 | UPDATED: October 1, 2009
Reported by Scott Mowry
Author, speaker and mystic, David Wilcock is offering a bountiful of new positive predications for humanity, based upon an endless stream of prophetic dreams that have been coming to him lately.
He has concluded that the world is about to witness one of the most unprecedented events ever for positive evolutionary change, in all of human history.
His latest prophecy began with a post on his web site on September 11, 2009, entitled, "Awesome New Disclosure Videos!" in which he stated:
"Humanity is at a critical turning-point, the likes of which few could ever imagine. Dream guidance has been increasingly insistent in telling me that a very substantial defeat of the New World Order / negative elite / Neocon faction is imminent — much sooner than we may have thought, if we even dared believe it at all," he wrote.
"The full sequence of events may also include some form of official or semi-official public acknowledgement of the reality of the UFO phenomenon, which would certainly be a tremendous event — probably the most substantial event in modern human history, at least since the founding of any of the major world religions," he continued.
Then, speaking on the Camelot Whistleblower radio program for September 17, 2009, with hosts, Bill Ryan and Kerry Cassidy, David made yet even more bolder statements.
"Everything that western civilization has ever been, at least in modern history, is building up to the moment that is going to occur sometime in the next six months or less," he proclaimed.
"I really can't stress enough that the number of dreams I have gotten on the impending event is probably five times greater than the number of dreams I got about 9/11," he added.
David Wilcock has long relied on his dream interpretations to provide him with guidance for future world events. And it should be noted he has created a stellar track record for his prognostications for over 17 years.
In 2001, mere days before the actual event took place, David had accurately prophesied the 9/11 catastrophe, which he then posted his predictions to his web site for confirmation. And earlier this year, his many prophetic dreams foresaw the death of Michael Jackson, as many as six weeks prior to that tragedy.
However, David is now referencing his most recent series of about fifty recurring dreams that are strongly indicating that we can expect an epochal event of a very positive, and not a negative nature to unfold for humanity. He cited other conformational evidence that is pointing to very similar conclusions.
"...the dream data has so much empirical support based both on articles we are finding and exposure from people on the inside... it is this massive combination of data that I am putting together, all of which is saying the same thing," he said on Camelot Whistleblower radio.
"I never had much this data on one event before," he surmised. "The basic message seems to be that legal and political maneuvers are now being made against these so-called New World Order groups," he said.
"What I am seeing is basically a very substantial defeat of the New World Order, which then will also eliminate their financial ability to harass disclosure groups. Disclosure is absolutely going to happen and is actually being planned, this all came to me in the last four or five days" he added excitedly about two key insiders who have recently stepped forward to provide him this information.
"The things that I have been hearing... it is just going to blow people's minds out of the water," he said confidently. "It is going to hit the public like nothing before. It is going to be amazing."
(See our David Wilcock Radio section for more information on the Camelot Whistleblower radio program from September 17, 2009.)
Then, two days later, appearing at the Awake & Aware in L.A. conference, in Los Angeles, California on September 19, 2009, David, yet again, repeated his assertions during a late evening panel discussion with other speakers.
"I have never, ever in my life had as many dreams about one upcoming future event as I have about what's going to happening in the near future," he reiterated.
He explained the world is undergoing a massive shift away from a patriarchal/masculine consciousness to that of a matriarchal/feminine or lunar consciousness.
"I am being guided as sternly as possible to be telling you that it appears that we are going to have a spectacular defeat of the New World Order and the Illuminati," he said yet again before the audience erupted in rapturous applause, drowning out his words.
He then went on to comment specifically about the world economic crisis and the recent decision by China to no longer honor derivative contracts from the United States and Federal Reserve as of August 31, 2009.
He predicted the corrupt, over inflated economic system currently in place, is about to undergo a radical transformation of its financial priorities, with pressures being exerted by an international alliance of countries.
"So imagine what would happen if your money was now worth 100 times more because the parasite that's been sucking all that money out of the system has now been defeated," he said enthusiastically.
"There is going to be a harrowing economic event, it is gong to seem terrifying if you come from fear," he cautioned. "I would encourage people to hold on to their assets, and not sell. Panic sell is the worst thing you can do," he stressed.
"...this thing (economic event) is going to rearrange the financial structures so much that I think the notion of value of your assets will be much, much higher (than they were before) when this thing gets through. I think it's going to happen a lot faster than we think," he added optimistically.
David then concluded with these most inspiring words:
"The amount of change that you are going to see in the next year is so spectacular, and so positive, that your cynicism probably won't allow you to really take it in. But trust me, and trust the data that we are starting to see, it is at least possible, if not probable, that is what's going to be happening," he said as yet more rapturous applause arose from the audience.
(To view David Wilcock's appearance on the Awake & Aware in L.A. panel discussion, see the links to the Project Camelot video archives below. His words above appear at the very end of Part 2 of the Panel of Speakers:)

Finally, on Sunday, September 20, 2009, David gave the closing speaker presentation at the Awake & Aware in L.A. conference with a lecture entitled, "2012: The Return to Camelot."
During this two-hour presentation, David proffered numerous hardcore scientific data and undeniable proof that an unparalleled awakening of humanity is unfolding upon Planet Earth. He made a very compelling case for the rapid human evolution and offered yet more confirming evidence to support his prediction of this seminal world event to occur within the next six months.

It should be noted that numerous other whistleblowers and insiders such as Benjamin Fulford, Dr. Pete Peterson, leading economists and others are predicting the collapse of the dollar and the Federal Reserve, possibly by the end of the fiscal year on September 30, 2009.
In addition, Congressman and former Presidential candidate, Ron Paul, has introduced legislation (HR 1207) to audit the Federal Reserve, which is being supported by the Democratic contingent led by Congressman Barney Frank, who is considering opening hearings on this matter and has stated publicly the bill will pass in October. (Don't hold your breath, however, counting on this Congress to do anything of value at this late stage of the game.)
In conclusion, although the forecasts for a tumultuous economic collapse this year or in the near future remain to be seen, nonetheless, David Wilcock's latest set of very bold positive predictions have certainly ramped up the excitement and anticipation levels by a factor of ten!

Just asking what everyone does to condition their shins for muay thai.
I've just started at my Uni club. Some folk are saying to just keep kicking a heavy bag as much as possible while others say it's ok to roll metal bars, glass bottles..... down the shin to kill the nerves.
I realise that guys in thailand have been training since they were young so have years of kicking bags and pads behind them. Is it more of a western thing to condition your shins with bars?

SRI and Georgia Tech have been working on a new tool, BotHunter, that aims to quickly locate bot traffic inside a network. "BotHunter introduces a new kind of passive network perimeter monitoring scheme, designed to recognize the intrusion and coordination dialog that occurs during a successful malware infection. It employs a novel dialog-based correlation engine, which recognizes the communication patterns of malware-infected computers within the network perimeter. A government/military version of this software has been in use successfully for about a month, and a public version has recently been released. A highly interactive honeynet using BotHunter is also run by SRI. Dozens of new infections are detected each day, and the site proves to be very helpful in understanding the behavior of the received malware. It generates a list of potentially evil IP addresses and DNS queries as well."
For more information on this new software, visit the BotHunter site.
An Informational draft RFC by John Curran was recently published, outlining an IPv4 to IPv6 transition plan. The paper provides a clear guidance to organizations regarding specific
expectations that change over time, and vary greatly by organization. A
timeline of the different phases was set with the intention of allowing
enough time for the necessary planning and deployment steps which each
organization must undertake. The author proposes the transition to predominantly IPv6-connectivity by Januaray 2011 in response to meeting the overall requirements of allowing the Internet to scale as
specified in "The Recommendation for the IP Next Generation Protocol"
On the contrary, Randy Bush provides a very informative presentation, IPv6 Transition & Operational Reality, regarding the reality of such a transition. The presentation discusses the different myths about IPv4 and IPv6, the emergence of a market for IPv4 addresses, and the transition from allocation to entitlement among others.
For more background data and interesting comments from Geoff Huston, read his IPv4 Address Report or his ISP column articles on The End of (IPv4) World, and Transition to IPv6.

In order to ensure transparent procurement at reduced costs in Chinese hospitals, the China Medical Equipment Association (CMEA) under the auspice of the Ministry of Health will draw up a recommended list of medical equipment to be used for purchasing decisions. The list will be based on an open and fair assessment of medical equipment considering the needs of the partners involved (including the government, hospitals and manufacturers), according to CMEA. Purchases should be made by the Ministry's International Communication and Cooperation Center.
Furthermore, China earmarked 1.2 bln yuan (about 157.9 million USD) to purchase medical equipment for hospitals in the country's poor rural areas through government procurement and public bidding. As mentioned by an official of the Ministry of Health, the list of new equipment would include electro-cardiographs, ultrasound scanners, operation beds and respiratory mechanics.

A report released Monday by Government Accountability Office (GAO), a congressional research and investigation agency, reveals that cybercrime (computer crime, identity theft and phishing) costs the U.S. economy US$117.5 billion a year.
"These projected losses are based on direct and indirect costs that may include actual money stolen, estimated cost of intellectual property stolen, and recovery cost of repairing or replacing damaged networks and equipment," says the report, released through the offices of Reps. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.), chairman of the committee on Homeland Security, and James R. Langevin (D-R.I.), chairman of the subcommittee on Emerging Threats, Cybersecurity, Science and Technology. However, according to the lead author of the report, GAO Director of IT Management Issues David A. Powner, the staggering losses pegged to cybercrime may even
be worse than estimated. "Whatever is reported by organizations, most of that will likely be underreported because of disincentives to report losses," he says.
The GAO report also acknowledges that certain personnel policies at federal law enforcement agencies may be hurting the fight against cybercrime. "[S]taff rotation policies at key law enforcement agencies may hinder the agencies' abilities to retain analytical and technical capabilities supporting law enforcement," the report observes. "In order to address the challenge of ensuring adequate law enforcement analytical and technical capabilities," it continues, "we are recommending that the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security reassess and modify, as appropriate, current rotation
policies to retain key expertise necessary to investigate and prosecute cybercrime."

Secure Science Corporation, in their GPCode Evolution Report, describes the more obscure, previously undocumented traits belonging to the most recent Ransom-based Trojan (known as Glamour). "The code is a modified version of the Prg/Ntos family which was detailed in depth during their Encrypted Malware Analysis in November 2006. While a majority of the functionality has not changed since then, this recent variant is distinctive enough to warrant additional research. In particular, the trojan is now equipped with the ability to encrypt a victim's files on disk. The motive for adding this feature is clearly monetary, as the victim is advised that the files will remain encrypted unless $300 is turned over to the authors, in exchange for a decryption utility." According to their report, in the past 8 months, 152,000 victims have been infected, and over 14.5 million records were discovered to be logged by the trojan.

More and more citizens in Singapore are using government services online, of which 98% can be accessed on a 24/7 hour basis. Such e-government services include, inter alia, online business licensing services that allow entrepreneurs to register their business online, which would result in significant company savings.
To protect Singapore's critical infrastructure from cyber attacks the government established a national cyber threat monitoring scheme in March 2007. International collaboration through computer emergency response teams (CERTS) represents another approach of combating the threats from cyberspace. Through both a public education campaign on cybersecurity and a legal environment dealing with computer misuse, spam, electronic transactions, etc. Singapore aims to increase confidence in using its e-government services.

Sophos recently released its global statistics naming the top 12 spam-relaying countries for the period between April to June 2007. The US and China tops the list, while Europe, on the other hand, houses six of the top 12 countries mentioned in the statistics, which when combined, account for even more spam-relaying than the U.S. The statistics reveal as well that the overall global volume of spam rose by 9% during the second quarter, when compared to the same period in 2006.
"'While the US remains top spam dog, the latest chart emphasises the urgent need for joined-up global action to combat this growing problem,' said Carole Theriault, senior security consultant at Sophos. 'For every spam campaign, the spammers, the compromised computers used, and the people being deluged by the unsolicited mail are often located in totally different parts of the world. A consolidated effort is needed not only to pursue and prosecute spammers, but also to convince computer users everywhere of the importance of blocking rather than responding to spam messages. Everyone has a part to play if we are to win the global battle against spam.'"
Statistics on spam relayed by continent, however, show Asia as the top spam-relaying continent with the number of Asian nations relaying smaller amounts of spam. Europe, which topped the chart in the first quarter of 2007, has reduced its percentage by 6.6 percent and fallen to second place. Asia, North America, South America and Africa have all seen rises in spam-relaying activity.

A growing, sophisticated technique of propagating cyber-crime, dubbed as fast-flux service networks, has increasingly been elevating the threats we face today on the Internet. "Fast-flux service networks are a network of compromised computer systems with public DNS records that are constantly changing, in some cases every few minutes. These constantly changing architectures make it much more difficult to track down criminal activities and shut down their operations." Despite the awareness of researchers and ISPs of fast-flux for over a year now, all of the current researches on fast-flux is new.
According to the Honeynet Project & Research Alliance, criminal organizations behind two infamous malware families, Warezov/Stration and Storm, have recently adopted this so-called fast-flux service networks into their infrastructures. "The purpose of this technique is to render the IP-based block list, a popular tool for identifying malicious systems, useless for preventing attacks," says Adam O'Donnell, director of emerging technologies at security vendor Cloudmark.
To fight against fast-flux, "ISPs and users should probe suspicious nodes and use intrusion detection systems; block TCP port 80 and UDP port 53; block access to mother ship and other controller machines when detected; 'blackhole' DNS and BGP route-injection; and
monitor DNS."

The OECD's Ministerial meeting on the Future of the Internet Economy has been opened to an Online Public Consultation, providing an opportunity for all stakeholders to comment on the topics and issues to be discussed at event. The public consultation is scheduled to be open until 14 September 2007, and stakeholders and players may share their views and opinions with the OECD through their Online Questionnaire.
"The Ministerial represents an opportunity for high-level stakeholders from government, business, the technical community, and civil society to consider broad social, economic and technical trends shaping the development of the Internet Economy, and to discuss policies that can respond to evolving societal needs. The participation of all players in the dialogue is important to ensure that the Ministerial is able to benefit from a wide range of viewpoints and expertise."

KPMG, a global network of professional firms providing audit, tax, and advisory services, released a report on Cross-Border Investigations: Effectively Meeting the Challenge.
KPMG, along with the research firm Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates Inc. approached multinational businesses in diverse industries around the world, and asked those charged with the responsibility for cross-border investigations within those companies how they responded to their current challenges. As the trade barriers fall and international commerce expands, and as the speed of conducting business and remitting funds increases, companies that conduct business across international boundaries are recognizing the corresponding increase in the risk of fraud and misconduct. They thus face several challenges such as taking the appropriate first steps, cultural and legal differences, investigation resources, and the availability and
accessibility of electronic data.
The report proposes that an effective approach can lower the risk of the occurrence of fraud or misconduct, thus lowering the possibility of being hit with serious sanctions, can demonstrate to regulators, shareholders, stakeholders, bond-ratings agencies, and the capital markets that the business takes accountability and control seriously, thereby mitigating damage to reputations, can exhibit the business's commitment to overall corporate governance activities, and can assist in a rapid and efficient response before issues spiral beyond control.
This report aims to provide insights into possible responses to the described challenges. It points out as well that an effective cross-border investigations plan demonstrates not only an organization's sound risk management practices, but also its overall commitment to good corporate governance.

The OECD Committee for Information, Computer and Communications Policy (ICCP), through its Working Party on Information Security and Privacy (WPISP) has developed the Recommendation on Electronic Authentication and the Guidance for Electronic Authentication. The project was made possible with the participation of Jane Hamilton from Industry Canada and with the support of delegates from Australia, France, Hungary, Korea, Norway, the United States, the OECD Secretariat and the Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) to the OECD. On 12 June 2007, the OECD Council adopted the Recommendation, and the Guidance for Electronic Authentication, was adopted by the ICCP Committee in April and declassified on 12 June 2007 by the OECD Council.
The Recommendation encourages efforts by OECD member countries to establish compatible,
technology-neutral approaches for effective domestic and cross-border electronic authentication of persons and entities. It also reaffirms the important role of electronic authentication in fostering trust online and the continued development of the digital economy.
The OECD Guidance on Electronic Authentication aims to assist OECD member countries and non-member economies in establishing or amend their approaches to electronic authentication with a view to facilitate cross-border authentication. The Guidance sets out the context and importance of electronic authentication for electronic commerce, electronic government and many other social interactions. It provides a number of foundation and operational principles that constitute a common denominator for cross-jurisdictional interoperability.
Both the Recommendation and the Guidance conclude a work stream initiated in response to the "Declaration on Authentication for Electronic Commerce" adopted by Ministers at the Ottawa Ministerial
Conference held on 7-9 October 1998 and serve as a bridge to future OECD work on identity management.
The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector with its Focus Group on Identity Management (FG IdM) works to facilitate the development of a generic Identity Management framework, by fostering participation of all telecommunications and ICT experts on Identity Management.

The Internet Society of New Zealand (InternetNZ) released the ISP Spam Code of Practice in May 2007 for public consultation, and it had been open to comments until 18 June 2007. The Code was developed by the InternetNZ / Telecommunication Carriers' Forum (TCF) / The Marketing Association (MA) Working Party which has representation from a cross section of service providers and other interested parties.
The ISP Spam Code of Practice was created in keeping with the requirements of the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 of the New Zealand government. It had also been developed with regard to the MAs Code of Practice for Direct Marketing and the TCFs SMS Anti-Spam Code, which both deal with Spam related issues, as well as to the TCFs Customer Complaints Code.
Both consumers and service providers are expected to benefit from the adoption of this Code. The Code aims to establish practices that will lead to the minimization of Spam in New Zealand. It also aims to provide information to end users about both preventative and curative steps against Spam. Anticipated benefits to the service providers include the generation of higher levels of customer satisfaction and improved operational efficiency due to the reduced volumes of spam.
Public submissions on the Code can be found here.

The new manual on Prosecuting Computer Crimes has been relesed by the Computer Crime & Intellectual Property Section of the United States Department of Justice in March 2007. This 53-page document discusses different cyber crimes and the corresponding penalties that are seen befit for the offenses. Definitions, background information as well as related statutes can also be found in the manual. Offenses discussed include obtaining national security information, compromising confidentiality, trespassing in a government computer, accessing to defraud and obtain value, damaging a computer or information, trafficking in passwords, and threatening to damage a computer. A legislative history on this subject has also been made available.
"When you've got a full-blown security breach on your hands, what do you do? If you've been smart, you'll already have a computer security incident response team -- and a plan -- in place. But many companies are too resource-strapped to have a full-blown, fully-tested incident response strategy." DarkReading proposes six steps on what to do when your security is breached.
1. Assemble an incident response team.
Experts believe that a computer security incident response team (CSIRT) must already be set up even before an event occurs. If a team is not yet in place, the company must create one quickly, and make sure all the stakeholders are there.
2. Assess the initial damage and the risk for more.
"According to BackGrounD Software, a Canadian forensics firm that does security breach damage assessment, the costs of a breach should include not only the technical costs associated with finding and fixing the breach, but also loss of productivity and loss of business. You'll need a plan that not only outlines your strategy for recovering your systems, but that includes steps for recovering customers."
3. Develop a notification plan.
An important decision to be made is who to notify when. Law enforcement, for instance, are contacted first when there is a potential crime involved. Other parties to be notified are customers that might have been affected by the incident and consultants, such as security experts or a computer forensics firm, who must be called in as early as possible.
4. Begin remediating the problem.
It is very important to fully understand the problem and its potential impact before any remediation is done. Otherwise, evidences might be damaged or the problem might aggravate. BackGrounD Software suggests, "disconnect your server(s) from the network, and if there is a potentially malicious code running, disconnect media devices as quickly as possible (i.e. disks, SAN, NAS). You never know how far the intruder has managed to get, so the faster you disconnect the equipment, the more of a chance you have to save your data." The next steps in remediating the problem then depend on the resources and skills available within the team or the company.
5. Document everything.
Experts also stress the importance of documentation as it is often overlooked. Documentation aids in recovering the affected system and in strategizing against future incidents.
6. Develop a strategy for stopping the next attack.
As DarkReading puts it, "if one attacker finds a vulnerability, there's a good chance that he may have accomplices -- or that another attacker might find the same vulnerability." Thus, it is necessary to develop a strategy to block possible holes still existing in the system.

Gangs of hackers, who are presumed to be based in Eastern Europe, initiated various website assaults now known as "The Italian job." More than 10,000 web pages of popular web sites have been penetrated and infected by this attack, and it is believed to have started in the middle of last month. Most of the infected sites are Italian websites, but the expanse of the attacks has reached Spain and the US as well.
A "tool kit" worth $815 which is sold online in Russia was used by the hackers to embed "keylogger" codes on the computers of those who visited the sites. These codes enable the hackers to access the infected machines and track valuable user information such as bank details and passwords. The gravity of this attack has been evidently tremendous as it was aimed at established websites to steal banking identities.
David Perry, director of Trend Micro, says: "This is a paradigm shift. We can expect to see this kind of thing being replicated now for the next five or six months." He explained that the Italian job has become very effective because the bug has been particularly programmed to adapt to various types of weaknesses in computer security systems. "It looks for a wide spectrum of vulnerabilities in a computer, acting like a sort of Swiss Army knife with many different ways to pierce through the protection."

Symantec recently reported that it has detected phishing sites hosted on government servers. In the last month, it has found phony sites hosted on government servers in Thailand, Indonesia, Hungary, Bangladesh, Argentina, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, China, Brazil, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Columbia and Malaysia. This new disturbing trend compromises the credibilty of government-hosted sites and jeopardizes the security within government online transactions.
Basically, these phishing sites managed by data thieves are used to mimic authentic business or government sites in order to gather valuable information from users such as credit card details or account passwords. These information are in demand in the underground market, and these could easily result to identity theft or account fraud.
Government servers that are involved in low-risk jobs are often the target of this sort of scams. However, despite these servers being relatively low-risk, this still poses a problem. "Under the Federal Information Security Management Act, information technology security in the federal government is based on a philosophy of risk management. It does not aim for absolute security which is impossible anyway but for the proper level of security. Administrators do a risk-based assessment of their IT systems, prioritizing them by their vulnerabilities, their role in the agencys mission and the criticality of that mission." Nonetheless, the impact and dangers of these phishing sites that are faced by the citizens should very well be considered in the process of risk-assessment as well.
The Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) released on 26th June 2007 Toward a Safer and More Secure Cyberspace, "a broad research agenda that includes traditional, problem-specific studies as well as unconventional ideas necessary to combat current
and future cybersecurity threats. The report examines the
vulnerabilities of the Internet and offers a strategy for future
research aimed at countering cyber attacks. The report also explores the nature of online threats and some of the reasons why past research for improving cybersecurity has had less impact than anticipated."

OECD recently released their Communications Outlook Report, a discussion and an analysis of market structures and recent policy developments. Among the topics discussed was the chapter on main trends in pricing in telecommunication services. It has been noted that with the dramatic increase in Broadband speeds, subscription costs have either remained constant or have been reduced. Based on monthly subscriptions, Sweden has the cheapest broadband plan with $10.47 a month, and US ranks fourth with $15.93 a month. With regard to the newest broadband technology: Fiber, Japan NTT residential connection (100 Mbps down/up) costs $49 a month, and in the US, Verizon FiOS (30 megabits down/5 megabits up) costs $191.20.

Fit the decorating bag with tip 5 and fill 1/2 full with medium consistency icing. Hold the bag and tip at 45° angle at 3:00 slightly above the surface of your cake.
Squeeze as you lift tip slightly so that icing fans out.
Relax pressure as you draw the tip down and bring the bead to a point.
To make a bead border, start the end of your next bead so that the fanned out end covers the tail of the preceding bead to form an even chain.

Technology is now so ingrained in our culture that we're surprised when it's not immediately available. Whether that's because we take the system for granted or simply don't plan ahead, the nearest party may take the brunt of our frustration. Who better to blame than the techs, whether or not they have magical powers to fix all things? Not that you're the worst offender -- there are always less reasonable users to deal with.
Enter User 1, who we'll call "Angelica." An account executive, Angelica was a self-regarded person of importance who believed the tech team was at her beck and call. Rules did not apply to her. She was high-strung and needy, armed with many demanding, last-minute requests. You get the picture.
[ More about the IT job on InfoWorld: "11 signs your IT project is doomed." | Get your weekly dose of workplace shenanigans by following Off the Record on Twitter and subscribing to the Off the Record newsletter. ]
Angelica had planned a weeklong vacation in another state to see her in-laws, coincidentally timed with Labor Day. As a career-oriented power seller, Angelica had planned on taking her laptop with her and working while on vacation. Not for nothing, she was the primary point of contact for several lucrative accounts, so keeping the customer happy was her bread and butter. However, on the Wednesday of that week, her RSA token had expired. True to form, she didn't bother to let IT know until around 4:45 p.m. on the Friday preceding that long weekend.
Hey, it's only network security
Standard company policy dictated a mandatory 48-hour period between the request of a new token and the issuance of the token so that all the proper approvals could be documented and the network team could prep the token. From there, Tier II desktop support still had to install the token on the user's PC.
The VPN software was set to give popup notices of an impending token expiration for an entire week ahead of time, and Angelica had been through the token renewal process on several occasion before -- this should've been old news for her. When Angelica called the help desk, she got the standard response that, in short, she was out of luck. If she had contacted them earlier in the week (as she should have), they could have helped her, but now it was too late.
This "type A" personality salesperson wasn't about to take that one sitting down. After an angry call to the director of IT, all policies were waived, the network team issued her a token, and at 7 p.m. desktop support was installing it on her laptop. Crisis averted -- her token was renewed and she could work to her heart's content during her vacation.
The worst-laid plans almost always go astray
Naturally, it wouldn't be that simple. She had also failed to do her homework about where she was traveling. Her in-laws were located in the heart of West Virginia, and on this trip she had opted to stay with them rather than getting a hotel room. Therein lay the problem: They did not own a computer, so they had no Internet connection. However, even if they wanted an Internet connection, no modern broadband connections existed in the remote hollow where they lived. Cellular service? Ha! That's a good one.

The Kentucky Derby, also known as America's Race, has been around for 137 years. This annual springtime sports party brings thrilling horse races to millions of Derby fans.
However, this May 5th, the horses won't be the only ones captivating attendees and catching eyes at the Kentucky Derby. You can turn heads, too, by following a few Kentucky Derby outfit guidelines. Yes, this include ladies who will be watching at various viewing parties throughout Scottsdale, including Bourbon Steak at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess and the Saguaro's Derby Dandy Party (details are down below).
Showstopping hats
As you might have already guessed, a large part of this event is the fashion, especially the ostentatious hats. The bigger, the better as there are no rules when it comes to what you can put on these fun and, at times, zany hats.
Fruits, flowers, birds, feathers, gems — you name it! With such a creative accessory atop your head, you'll need an understated yet still bright and cheery outfit.
Channel your inner Southern Belle or locate the perfect touring hat with the selection of hats at ladydianehats.com or Mumbo Jumbo Boutique.
For those with long hair, I suggest putting it in a side ponytail or braid while wearing one of these creations to both frame your face, and let the hat do the talking.
Dressing to impress
Two-piece suits in pastel shades of pale yellow, pink, light blue and cream are perfectly acceptable and will give you a preppy-chic look. If you're willing to be bold, dresses with floral prints à la Lilly Pulitzer are a great choice too.
Balancing act
Whatever your choice, be sure to maintain balance between your hat and the rest of your outfit. If your hat is the creative kind, try keeping your outfit simple. If you opt for a classy, understated hat, then you can choose an outfit that's a little more out there.
Men, this includes you, too
Men, of course, are not to be left behind. The typical Derby outfit for men consists of seersucker suits, a light-colored collared shirt made from breathable material, loud and flashy ties or bows. A sports jacket in a neutral color such as navy blue, brown, tan, grey, cream or white and a pair of mismatched trousers, also in a neutral color, can take the place of a suit.
As for hats, men can join in on the fun with derby hats made of straw adorned with a colorful ribbon. Fedoras are also common.
The Kentucky Derby has always been famous for its distinct fashion. Bright, fun colors, larger than life hats and intricate fascinators are all part of the Kentucky Derby experience. Overall, think semi-formal-Southern when getting ready for the Kentucky Derby, and let the race begin!

The Levy County Drug Task Force arrested a local repeat offender on methamphetamine related charges on Monday, Aug. 10. Task force investigators went to Northwest 125th Street, Chiefland, in order to execute an arrest warrant. There, investigators located and arrested 35-year-old Nevina Tease on an outstanding violation of probation warrant.
Teen drivers who have procrastinated and not enrolled in the summer Teen Driver Improvement Program better get on the move as there are only a few classes remaining.
The class, offered by the Levy County Sheriff's Office's Community Relations Division, is open to all Levy County students who have a current operators license, learners permit or who are about to get their learners permit and it is free. It just takes four hours.
On July 5, 2014, deputies from the Levy County Sheriff's Office responded to the area of 3571 NE 218th Avenue in Williston to the report of a deceased person. The investigation revealed that Leo Rives, 31, had been found dead beside his vehicle.
After following up on initial leads, the case has remained unsolved. With the passing of the first anniversary of Rives' murder, LCSO Investigators are asking the public for its assistance in closing this case for the friends and family of Rives.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
•Aug. 2, Justin Adkins, 20, Archer, DUI. Bond $1,000.

Levy County Sheriff Bobby McCallum has a message for those using and selling drugs: Quit now.
On Monday, McCallum announced the arrest of 65 people and that his department is seeking two others on various drug charges in Operation Melting Pot.
There are 74 cases and 135 charges against the 67 individuals named in warrants. A sheriff's office press release said investigators made 72 controlled purchases of illegal drugs from 67 different suspects. It was the largest roundup since one several years ago that netted 40 suspects.
Chris Anderson was recognized for completing his EMT training and getting his state license at the Fanning Springs City Council Meeting on July 7.
The meeting also happened to mark his five year anniversary with the Fanning Springs Fire Department.
Levy County Department of Public Safety (LCDPS) Paramedics Stephen Ferguson, Humberto Jimenez and Joe Brooks volunteered to represent Levy County in the Bill Shearer International Advanced Life Support (ALS) Competition at CLINCON 2015 in Orlando on July 9-10.

POCANTICO HILLS, N.Y.–The Obama family feted its longtime chef and friend, Sam Kass, on Saturday night as he married MSNBC's Alex Wagner.
The Obamas' excursion to the wedding in Westchester County, N.Y., was a testament to the close relationship the president and first lady have developed with Mr. Kass, who not only cooks for the family but has become a high-profile advocate for Michelle Obama's efforts to combat childhood obesity.
Mr. Kass's official title is senior policy adviser for nutrition policy and executive director of the Let's Move! program. He wed Ms. Wagner at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, a noted farm-to-table restaurant north of New York City.
President Barack Obama, Mrs. Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha flew on Air Force One to Westchester County on Saturday to attend the nuptials.
Mr. Kass first met the Obama family in Chicago and is one of the first lady's longest-serving advisers. He helped develop the White House vegetable garden and has been a visible proponent of the first lady's initiatives aimed at making healthier foods available to kids–a push that has spurred some opposition to new standards for school lunches.
While Mr. Kass works in the East Wing for Mrs. Obama, he also is a friend and frequent golf buddy of the president's. Last week, Mr. Obama ventured to Mr. Kass's Washington apartment for dinner, spending nearly five hours there on a Monday evening.
The wedding of Mr. Kass and Ms. Wagner, who hosts the program "Now With Alex Wagner" on MSNBC, was expected to draw a mix of White House staffers and media personalities. Senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett traveled to the wedding with the president.
On Friday, the president traveled to fundraisers in Rhode Island and Westchester County. He was scheduled to stay overnight in New York before attending Saturday's nuptials, but a last-minute change of plans brought him back to the White House late Friday.
The Obama family was expected to return to Washington late Saturday.

I don't have a problem with apple being able to decrypt iPhones. The problem I have is that means one bad leak. And everyone can find out how they do it. One slip of the mouth from an inside employee and you now have that information out to the world. That's what scares me.
They will give it up eventually if they can. Its all just a matter of working through the request backlogs. Just Sayin...
Attachment 637520
You're assuming everybody who wants privacy is a criminal. The United States is corrupt. People have banks, credit card #'s and more on their phone. Their life savings is in fingers' reach. Of course we will want as much privacy/secure device as we can get. Wake up and stop thinking like a cop.
It's quite likely that all law enforcement requests to Apple on this matter have a legitimate warrant to back them up, however, it's still very important to remain vigilant. The NDAA and CISPA are extremely offensive to the freedom of the people of the United States. Don't let the latest jailbreak tweak distract your from the slow dismantling of our "unalienable" rights.
People are so blind and open to just bending over and giving away your rights. Take a look at what the government is getting away with lately... pitiful.
Lol, lots of posters here look like they have lots to hide Don't do the crime then you have nothing to worry about. Only criminals would worry about such a thing;/
