my initial idea was to just dump specific info, but like you said it is a pain trying to find what you want,
then I looked into karmetasploit and thought why dont we do this
create a fake ap using airbase-ng, user is redirected to exploitable page and the exploits run in iframes, we dump the whole registry.
and then search the registry in our own time, we can be prepared next time by having the wpa keys, and as you said all sorts of other vital information
now what we need is a single universal way of uploading a payload, my guess would be to create something on the redirected page
Just being mucking around with dlink and dse wireless third party uilitys and they are in the same area.
Just looked up how to read the reg in C, so I will try and write a exe that can be uploaded with metasploit and excuted, the program would read about 10 key folders and send it out a socket(connect using nc on bt to say port 6000) and display the strings etc. I think most av don't detect programs that use that function, just the order and stuff.
Is autopwn included with BT3?
Nvm, didnt realize it was part of Fast Track
I hate Google.
I've been further thinking of this,
if we did somehow manage to dump the wpa hash from the registry we would still need to decrypt it, in windows you can use cain, but even so that takes a long time too.
so unless the user is prompted to give us the wpa key I don't think it is going to work.
POC... Create fake ap, user connects to fake ap, evilgrade, upload msf payload, connect back to pc, this should work, but then what? we still have the problem of obtaining the wpa key
If the wpa keys are stored in the regisrty encrypted or not, it will still need a key in the regisrty or in some place to decode it for the wireless connection.
I'm guessing but it would proable be something like the accountid, and md5
a bit more progress,
we can use this tool http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html, upload it and execute via command line, can save all keys to a text file
gives all keys in hex.
very well explained dude, cheerz for that
we would still need the final stage of getting a msf payload onto our victim if it's a fully patched system,
drive by downloads are an option but need a way to bypass AV's with these
I've been looking into evilgrade and one of our options maybe to have a page that displays JAVA but then says it needs to be updated and have an update link embedded within it --- I know we can deliver payload by directly forcing them to download an exe but that would be too suspicious, instead we let them think it's a real upgrade.
I've also been looking into one time redirection only, we don't want our victim to be constantly viewing the same page, we want them to type any address in, get redirected to the "portal" and then be able to surf happily.
Something similar to nocatsplash, - this seems interesting http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~afedosov/netgreg/
Ok, This thread is exactly what I am trying to do myself. I just have a few problems that I need to solve.
What I have working: Evil Ap, Aireplay is doing a massive DDOS to the victims AP, All clients are not associated and are probing the ESSID.
Ok, so the basics is done
Now I need to get the DHCP server up and running to assign ip address's to the clients.
I downloaded dhcp-3.0.7 from the ISC site, but I am having problems installing it. Not sure if its compatible with Backtrack3. Any ideas here? This is the error is piping to meAfter this I just wanted to see if it would >make and this is that errorCode:bt dhcp-3.0.7 # ./configure System Type: linux-2.2 make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/cap/dhcp-3.0.7/work.linux-2.2' make[1]: Warning: File `Makefile' has modification time 1.4e+04 s in the future Making links in common make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/cap/dhcp-3.0.7/work.linux-2.2/common' make[2]: Warning: File `Makefile' has modification time 1.4e+04 s in the future ln: creating symbolic link `raw.c': Operation not supported ln: creating symbolic link `parse.c': Operation not supported ln: creating symbolic link `nit.c': Operation not supported THIS GOES ON FOR A PAGE ln: creating symbolic link `dhcp-eval.5': Operation not supported make[2]: *** [links] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/cap/dhcp-3.0.7/work.linux-2.2/common' make[1]: *** [links] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/cap/dhcp-3.0.7/work.linux-2.2' make: *** [links] Error 2

Also I would like to add. I think this is one of the best ways of attacking WPA/WPA2 networks. Bruteforcing just does not work very well with all the possible keys you can have unless you put the key in your dictionary file.
I would love to see an in-depth tutorial on this subject. That would be purely awesome.

Seven-Run Third Lifts Orioles Over Rockies, 8-4
Posted by Mike Rice
BALTIMORE (AP) -- The Baltimore Orioles had gone nearly a week without a victory, a stretch that included three one-run defeats in Arizona and a lopsided loss to Colorado at home.
So, when they finally got to add another digit to their win total, the Orioles didn't really care if the outcome was influenced by their opponent's mistakes.
Brian Roberts and Manny Machado both hit two-run doubles during a seven-run third inning fueled by Colorado miscues, and Baltimore defeated the Rockies 8-4 Saturday night to end a four-game skid.
Adam Jones had two hits in Baltimore's highest scoring inning of the season, which featured an error by shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, two walks, a passed ball and a wild pitch. Six of the seven runs were unearned, but when it was done the Orioles had an 8-1 lead.
"It was huge," winning pitcher Bud Norris said. "It was a tough stretch there in Arizona. But just to be back in the win column was huge. To have a seven-run third inning is definitely a help to any starting pitcher going out there. I just wanted to keep putting up zeroes and the bullpen really came in and picked me up, too."
Norris (9-10) gave up four runs and nine hits over 5 2/3 innings to improve to 3-1 since coming to the Orioles in a trade with Houston on July 31. He was followed by a relief corps that allowed only three hits the rest of way.
"This is the big leagues. The third inning with a seven-run lead is never comfortable," said Tommy Hunter, who worked the ninth. "Guys came in and threw the ball well in certain situations and got us to the end of the ballgame with a four-run lead."
Most of the damage in the third inning came against Colorado rookie Chad Bettis (0-2), who allowed seven hits, four walks and eight runs in 2 2/3 innings.
"It was really embarrassing," Bettis said. "I need to be better. I wasn't making the right pitches."
Baltimore's third inning began with a double by Chris Davis and an infield hit by Jones. Nick Markakis followed with an RBI single, and one out later Colorado brought the infield in with runners on second and third. Steve Pearce hit a grounder that got past Tulowitzki, allowing Jones to score.
"I think Tul probably looked up to see if the runner was taking off from third," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "But, he's been as good as you can possibly be at shortstop. He's not going to make every play for six months."
Following the second out, Roberts doubled in two runs, Nate McLouth walked and Machado hit his major league-leading 43rd double.
Adam Ottavino replaced Bettis and walked Davis before Jones delivered an RBI single for a seven-run cushion.
"I've never been a part of a bad seven-run inning, when you're the one scoring it," Roberts said. "Obviously, we needed a little something to kind of jump start us and that was big, to use the extra out they gave us to put some runs on the board. Everyone kind of breathed a little sigh of relief and said, `All right. Now we're ready to go."
Dexter Fowler hit RBI singles in the fourth and sixth innings for the Rockies, who lost for only the second time in eight games. Colorado stranded 11 and went 2 for 12 with runners in scoring position.
Jones had three hits and Davis picked up his 113th RBI to help the Orioles secure their first victory since beating San Francisco last Sunday.
"I think people panic a little more outside the clubhouse than we do inside the clubhouse," Roberts said. "We all still feel like we are in pretty good shape."
Colorado got two hits and two walks in the first inning but scored only once, when Tulowitzki bounced into a double play.
In the bottom half, McLouth drew a leadoff walk, advanced on a single by Machado and came home on a fly ball by Davis.
Although the Orioles left the bases loaded in the second, they made up for it in the third.
Game Notes
Orioles SS J.J. Hardy was late scratch with back spasms. It was the second game he's missed this season. ... The Orioles recalled RHP Josh Stinson from Triple-A Norfolk to fill out an overworked bullpen. He allowed one hit in 1 1/3 innings. ... Colorado activated closer Rafael Betancourt (appendicitis) from the 15-day disabled list and optioned RHP Manuel Corpas to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Betancourt worked a perfect eighth, striking out two. ... Baltimore's Scott Feldman faces 11-game winner Jhoulys Chacin in the series finale. ... Orioles reliever Troy Patton walked the only batter he faced in the sixth inning, ending a run of 26 consecutive appearances without a walk. It was the second-longest streak in club history (Koji Uehara, 36). ... Tulowitzki's error was only the fifth in 15 games this month by the Rockies.

Arizona Has Some of the Highest Rates of Poverty
PHOENIX (AP) _ New figures from the Census Bureau show Arizona has some of the highest rates of poverty in the country.
Nineteen percent of the state's residents were living in poverty in 2012.
That was the fifth-highest rate behind only Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico and Arkansas.
More than 1 in 7 Americans were living in poverty, not statistically different from the 46.2 million of 2011 and the sixth straight year the rate had failed to improve, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday.
Mississippi has the highest rates of poverty while New Hampshire has the lowest.

Chris - from Danville, CA
There are a number of reasons your cookies could be spreading. First, make sure the fat you are using (butter, margarine, vegetable shortening) is correct. A recipe that calls for butter should only be made with sticks of real butter – not low fat butter. Also, margarine needs to be a stick and be at least 70% fat; it should never be from a tub and should not be referred to as a "spread".
When making your cookies, make sure the butter or margarine are not over-softened. It should be soft to the touch but not appear oily or melted. Butter or margarine can be taken from the refrigerator (not the freezer), then cut into 8-10 pieces and placed in the mixer bowl. When beaten with an electric mixer, it will soften to the perfect consistency.
If your cookie dough seems soft before forming, refrigerate it for 20 minutes before placing the dough onto the cookie sheet. Finally, always make sure your cookie sheet is at room temperature, not warm, before placing your unbaked cookies on it.

Depending on their design and series, SKF cam rollers are fitted with one of the cages shown in table 1. Double row cam rollers are equipped with two cages. The standard cage is not identified in the bearing designation.
The lubricants generally used for rolling bearings do not have a detrimental effect on cage properties. However, some synthetic oils and greases with a synthetic oil base and lubricants containing EP additives, when used at high temperatures, can have a detrimental effect on polyamide cages.

— Israel is right to be concerned about Iran's push to join the league of nations that possess nuclear weapons, but diplomacy - not military intervention - remains the "preferred solution" to averting a potential arms race in the Middle East, President Barack Obama said Sunday.
During a live interview with TODAY's Matt Lauer, the president left the military option open if there's evidence that economic sanctions and diplomatic efforts fail to convince the Iranian regime to give up its nuclear ambitions and threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic gateway to the oil-rich Persian Gulf.
"I don't think Israel has made a decision. I think they, like us, think Iran has to stand down their nuclear weapons program," said Obama, speaking from the Blue Room of the White House. "Until they do, I think Israel is going to be very concerned, and we are as well."
Although Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said publicly that Israel could be poised to make a preventive strike against Iran as early as late spring or early summer, Obama said the U.S. has close ties to Israel and will make sure that all diplomatic efforts are exhausted.
"We are going to make sure we work in lock step and work to resolve this, hopefully diplomatically," said Obama, who spoke about Iran, the economy and the Super Bowl during the five-minute interview.
"We're not taking any options off the table," Obama said. "Our preferred solution is diplomatic, we're going to keep on pushing on that front ... [but] I've been very clear that we're going to do everything we can to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and creating an arms race, a nuclear arms race, in a volatile region."
Obama said the international pressure on Iran through sanctions is working and Iran needs to say, "We will pursue peaceful nuclear power, we will not pursue a nuclear weapon ."
Obama: I deserve another term
During the interview, which will be broadcast in its entirety on TODAY Monday, Obama also talked about his re-election bid. He was reminded of a comment he made to Lauer three years ago, during an interview before the 2009 Super Bowl about the economic crisis, in which he said, "If I don't have this done in three years, then it's going to be a one-term proposition."
Lauer noted a new report showing U.S. unemployment has fallen below 9 percent, but many Americas still don't feel the poor economy has turned around, and asked Obama if he's made his case for re-election.
"I deserve a second term, but we're not done," Obama replied. "We've got to boost up American manufacturing, so that all our manufacturing is building again and selling overseas. We've got to make sure that we're pushing American energy ... and we've got to make sure the skills of American workers are the best in the world.
"We've made progress, and the thing right now is to just make sure we don't starting turning in a new direction that could throw that progress off."
But the president was less forceful in making a prediction on the 2012 Super Bowl. While he confidently picked Pittsburgh to beat Arizona before the 2009 Super Bowl, Obama refused to use a crystal ball on tonight's game, despite much goading from Lauer.
"You're not going to get to me," a laughing Obama told Lauer. "I say to look for a great game.
"I think this is going to be tough. I can't call it."
Lauer asked Obama whether his female-centric household members - wife Michelle, daughters Malia and Sasha - are fans of Super Bowl quarterback Tom Brady, who leads the glamorous life as a model with wife Gisele Bundchen when he's not winning football games.
"I think they know he's a goodlooking guy, there's no doubt about it," Obama said. But he added Malia and Sasha don't decorate their White House bedrooms with his posters.
"The girls are 13 and 10; they're not quite at the age yet they start putting up the pictures of guys yet. When that happens, I may call some executive privilege and say that's not appropriate."
(Tune in to TODAY at 7 a.m. ET on Monday to see more of Matt's interview with President Obama.)

November 25, 2013--- At one of Buddhism's most revered pilgrimage sites, a National Geographic archaeologist's team has uncovered evidence that the Buddha lived in the sixth century B.C., much earlier than some scholars had believed. The excavation at Lumbini, Nepal, long identified as the birthplace of the Buddha, revealed a previously unknown timber shrine once stood there, it's walls mirroring more recent brick temples.
A documentary on Coningham's exploration of the Buddha’s life, “Buried Secrets of the Buddha,” will premiere internationally on the National Geographic Channel.

Voice of ROBIN CONINGHAM, ARCHAEOLOGIST, DURHAM UNIVERSITY & NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC GRANTEE:
The Maya Devi Temple is one of the most sacred temples within the Buddhist world.
Once you actually go through the doorways you get this walkway around the edge of the temple, because right in front of you in the middle of the temple actually is an archaeological site.
Vert seldom of archaeology get the opportunity of interfacing with the very beginnings of one of the worl'd's great religions.
There are two major significant findings from these excavations. First is the world's earliest Buddhist structure. And it's not built in brick. It's not built in stone. It's actually built timber. So it is really exciting because gives us for the first time an understanding of what did an early Buddhist structure look like.
The second really significant point is there is a debate as to when the Buddha actually lived, when he was born and when he died. Some have him born in the the 6th Century [or] 7th Century. Some have him born as early as 300 B.C.. From that very early timber structure, we have burnt charcoal from within the post holes. And that date from that earlier structure is the 6th Century B.C.. And those have actually for the first time given us a calendrical date with which we can now begin to understand that lifetime of the Buddha himself.

Scott Weiland countersues former Stone Temple Pilots bandmates
Listen to Stone Temple Pilots on iHeartRadio
Scott Weiland is demanding a hefty severance package after being terminated by his one-time Stone Temple Pilots bandmates. According to "Rolling Stone," the axed frontman has filed a countersuit against the group asking for at least $5 million in compensatory damages.
The other members of STP originally sued Weiland last month accusing him of misusing the band's name to promote his solo work. But now Weiland - who also claims the band conspired against him - is demanding that the new Stone Temple Pilots lineup perform under a different name.
The group made their live debut with Linkin Park's Chester Bennington on vocals a few weeks ago, and also released a new single title "Out of Time."

A degree in business from Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh,
NY, takes grads along the road of success.
And all the way to the Magic Kingdom in Orlando, FL.
Nicole Corbett of New Windsor, NY majored in business management
and administration. At the end of the summer, she will begin
working fulltime for Disney Retail.
Lodging and hospitality is the path that Corbett is pursuing, so
working at Disney will be a great career boost, she said.
Graduating this May, she interns with the Hudson Valley
Renegades Pitch for Kids Fund this summer, as an event planner and
social media intern.
She noted that Mount faculty such as Matson Attsunyo, James
Griesemer, and Shelley Love, "all genuinely cared about my
well-being and getting a great education. They've taught me
everything about the business world, and it will be sad to say
Senior Brittany Shantwell's internship at Freedom Ford in
Beacon, NY, has evolved into a fulltime position after
Shantwell, an accounting major from Middletown, NY, lauds
professors Louis Fortunato and Tracey Niemotko for being "very
knowledgeable and very helpful."
With the ultimate goal of working in the banking industry,
Shantwell "handles all types of accounting tasks and cash receipts"
at Freedom Ford.
The business program at Mount Saint Mary College incorporates
technology, international vision, and modern organizational science
to prepare students for careers in a global economy.
With a liberal arts core to develop critical thinking, students
learn accounting, management, finance, economics, and
Mount students also get real world experience through community
service, for example, participating in the IRS VITA program
assisting low income individuals with tax forms.
Accounting students teamed up with PathStone Community
Improvement of Newburgh to provide the service. Seniors who
volunteered their time were Joe Canary, Newburgh, NY; Leonora Liz,
New York, NY; and Noelle Shalian, Salisbury Mills, NY.
They completed on-line training plus on-site training with an
IRS representative. The accounting program at the Mount offers a
sequence of specialized instruction in accounting theory, cost
management, budgeting, auditing, taxation, accounting systems, and
accounting as a management tool.
Successful alumni with business degrees include Tyler Tumminia
'09, MBA, senior vice president of marketing and operations for
Goldklang Group, sports entertainment ownership consulting firm in
Fishkill, NY, and Sam Firempong '02, vice president of ICG Global
Expense, Citigroup.
Nicole Corbett commented that without Mount Saint Mary College's
business program and the college career center, "I would be so
lost. I owe everything to the Mount because they have prepared me
well for my career."

Cutting-Edge Social Media Brand Targets Indie Musicians, Fans & Lifestyle
SANTA MONICA, CA — ShockBoxTV is an Internet content channel, the brainchild of entrepreneurs and die-hard music fans Matt Prater and James Tuverson. Using a multi-platform approach driven by social media and old fashioned word-of-mouth, ShockBoxTV supports and promotes "everything indie music" from all over the world.
Launching in late Summer 2012 and already sporting thousands of fans on its Facebook and Twitter pages, ShockBoxTV develops its content directly from fans, putting independent musicians in the spotlight with two dynamic new web-series, each with multiple episodes available online.
Says Matt Prater, an award-winning web series writer and producer, "ShockBoxTV features bands and artists who carve their paths by writing and producing their own music, making music videos, setting up tours and marketing themselves, making it all happen on their own. We celebrate that spirit."
Prater teamed up with marketing expert James Tuverson, whose experience includes managing indie bands as well as lifestyle marketing for musical instrument retailer Guitar Center and video game publishers Activision and Vivendi Games. "I've been servicing this community for years -- young, hip guys and girls who love music and use the latest technologies to communicate their vision and entertain. With ShockBoxTV, the shows are all about the audience. The viewers tell us what they want to see."
ShockBoxTV's premiere series "Kick A$$ Band of the Week!" features independent artists and bands from all over the world. Hosted by Prater from his L.A. loft, the series showcases clips of professionally produced music videos from each of the bands featured.
"On Tha Beat" is a series that takes the experience a step further by capturing candid interviews with up-and-coming artists at famous venues. With Prater hosting and Tuverson behind the lens, the pair attend local shows to grab footage of artists on stage and after the show. "No one else is making this kind of effort to promote independent artists," claims Tuverson. "The bands love it. We love it. And so do the fans." Matt and James insist that the next step is to take "On Tha Beat" on the road.
With additional scripted and non-scripted projects in the works, Prater and Tuverson continue to build ShockBoxTV into a global brand, using their fans as a beacon to influence programming as well as new avenues such as merchandising, live webcasting, a national concert tour and eventually a record label.

F07 Gran Turismo (2010 - 2017)
The 5 Series Gran Turismo - 535i, 550i and 550i xDrive model.
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
Is there something wrong with the 5 series steering?
In articles about the F10 LCI update, they often mention the steering getting fixed. Like this: "Mechanically, the F10 LCI will received reworked steering, and the 550i will come with the new and more powerful N63Tu engine. Production for the F10 LCI as beginning in July 2013, with deliveries starting in August/September of 2013."
Sometimes there's a mention of the N55 engine being replaced in the 535i as per the 4 series Coupe but the 4 series Coupe has the N55 so caveat emptor.
Is there a "problem" with the 5 series steering in general (F10 and F07) or is it limited to just the F10?
The F07, at least in my version, still has the hydraulic steering, so no, it does not have the same issues as the electric pump on the F10's. Now, whether those issues are an issue for you or not depends on your perceptions and how you drive. It's not a problem in function, it's about the feel. The electric motor disconnects you more from the wheels. Most vehicles will go to this system, if they haven't already, since there's more parasitic loss from running the power steering hydraulic pump constantly verses the electrical load on the electrically assisted systems. I expect this to constantly improve as processor power and force feedback technology and experience continue to evolve...some of those enhancements may be able to be done in software as an upgrade, but some will require hardware updates, probably limited to running changes or new model designations. But, it's not an issue with the F07, at least on my x-drive model.
Thanks. THe 2013 have Servotronic steering and I can't find anything in the BMWUSA specs that says if that's hydraulic or not. I know there's complaints about feel of electric systems and on the Q5, a notchiness at center that develops at certain speeds. If it is hydraulic, I suppose it could fall prey to efficient dynamics for better mileage in the 2014 LCI. Yours is a 2011?
Just leaving breadcrumbs for anyone that comes along later. Excerpted from a C&D comparison of EPS vs HPS using two BMW 5 series cars: http://www.caranddriver.com/features...n-test-feature
"Makers are moving aggressively to EPS because eliminating an engine-driven hydraulic pump increases gas mileage by about 1 mpg. Before hydraulic power steering (HPS) goes the way of the buggy whip, though, we wanted to understand the differences so we concocted this test. BMW conveniently offers both types of assist on 5-series models equipped with four-wheel drive. (HPS survives here because the slightly *bulkier EPS unit fits in only the four-cylinder model.) A $61,125 BMW 528i xDrive served as our EPS lab rat while its 535i xDrive ($69,695) sibling stood up for HPS. Beyond the type of steering assistance, the notable differences are six cylinders in the 535i xDrive versus four in the 528i xDrive, 143 pounds more weight on the more expensive BMWs front axle, and 19-inch 40-series tires (535i) versus 18-inch 45-series rubber on the 528i. The basic run-flat, all-season tire design and 245-mm *section width are common to both.?
I know this question is a few months old but I thought I'd chip in.
It's true that a lot of the criticism of BMW's steering generally has more recently been associated with the move to electrically-powered assistance as opposed to the more traditional hydraulic system.
But I think this is a red herring. If you search for 'vague steering', 'steering wander', 'steering correction', steering problems' etc. it's BMWs that come up every time, and you'll see a grand history of ongoing issues with the steering on various BMW models, both 2 and 4 wheel drive, and with both hydraulic and electric power steering, sometimes necessitating replacement of the steering racks and columns, even on the recent F30.
My E60 (hydraulic steering) had alignment issues from new, which were corrected by the dealer, but it's always had a tendency to wander, requiring constant correction to keep it in a straight line and avoid drifting out of lane. Even when driving around town at low speed the car wanders vaguely around requiring excessive and constant steering input. Never driven another car like this in my life. Vague and disconnected steering just isn't what we expect from BMW, and although my car isn't as bad as some reports I've read about the new F10, I have to say it's pretty wierd. And we're not talking about tramlining here, which is typical of almost every BMW I've driven since the 90s.
My dealership sypathised with the issue but were unable to find anything wrong with the car or provide a solution despite several investigations, and eventually confirmed that it was all 'in spec' and that this is a characteristic of the vehicle. They did suggest that, if I wanted to spend some real cash, the only thing left would be to try replacing... you guessed it... the rack and column, but couldn't guarantee any improvement as they were unable to identfy a fault with the existing parts... I did have the alignment checked on the KDS system, which was all fine...
This is a story I have read so many times whilst searching for an improvement over the past couple of years, which is why I remain convinced that there is something deeper behind all this than just the move to electrical assistance. And if such issues affecting so many models are as widely reported to dealers as they are discussed on the internet, how come BMW haven't done anything to address it in this modern day of such highly advanced technology and know-how?!
As far as I see it, the power, emissions, economy, technology and prestige that we all love about our cars goes straight out the window if your car has steering issues. I still have my car as I have learnt to live with it as it is, and I still love everything else about it. But with these issues becoming so widespread and it seems affecting every new model, I really am now thinking twice about buying yet another BMW.
Time for a change, I think.

A CASE for STEM
News & Events
The campus hosted the CASE Conference for Advancing STEM education, shining a light on green technology, classroom teaching strategies, microbial ecology, climate change, astronomy and much more.
Dr. Arthur Goldstein, dean of the Bartlett College of Science and Mathematics, delivered welcoming remarks to the participants in the conference, which was sponsored by CASE, BSU's Center for the Advancement of STEM Education.
"As a dean, I spend a good deal of time trying to solve problems, but every now and I you get a chance to do something that is really enjoyable and thrilling, and watching over the creation and evolution of the Center for the Advancement of STEM Education is one of those things for me," he said.
The dean recalled how when he came to Bridgewater he was quite surprised to find all of the various K-12 outreach projects as vigorous and as successful as they were, but operating independently from each other. This led to the establishment of CASE, a center focused on the teaching of science, technology, engineering and math.
"We care a lot about this and I'm sure that's obvious," Dr. Goldstein said. "We care so much because we're really passionate about science and mathematics and we want to see the next generation of students come through the public school system and into higher education and become scientists and mathematicians and engineers.
He continued: "We believe that is what our country needs and it's what humanity needs. If we help you do your jobs better, and give you some of the tools that you need to be even more effective than you already are, we know you will touch hundreds of students over the course of your careers."
The conference included keynote addresses by Allison Scheff, executive director of STEM and the governor's STEM advisory council for the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education; and Dr. Julie Huber, associate scientist and associate director of the Josephine Bay Paul Center at the Marine Biological Laboratory.
The event also included workshops on a host of topics related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. (Story and photos by David K. Wilson, '71, University News)

Carla - from Calgary, Alberta
The easiest way would be to use colored fondant and cut arched strips for your rainbow . Not sure how large the rainbow will be, but use a small bowl or custard cup as a guide for yoour arch, and use a knife to cut the rolled out fondant.
You could also use logs of colored fondant. Arrange them in an arched pattern on your cake.
Finally, if the cake is covered in fondant, you could use icing color thinned with clear vanilla extract, and paint the rainbow on the cake.

This tied the game up for the first time at 4-4.
Bonnie showed his presence on the field again after receiving a flipped pass from Alsharif Blackman in the attack zone. Andrew Bonnie ripped it from the top of the box to tie the game for the second time at 7-7 with 25 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Mathew Dropuljic put Brevard in the lead at the 9:26 mark of the last quarter only to have Tusculum answer back with a goal to tie 8-8 at the 5:34 mark.

Elton John To Marry Partner David Furnish
The ban on gay marriage in England and Wales ended on Saturday. One of the country's most famous people will take advantage of that in May.
Elton John will marry his longtime partner, David Furnish.
The couple was legally united in a civil partnership in 2005 and have been together for 20 years. They have two sons together, Zachary and Elijah.
Furnish explained the plan to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, "We don't feel the need to take an extra step legally. But since we're committed for life, we feel it's really important to take that step, and take advantage of that amazing change in legislation. We all live by example...I think what we'll do is go to a registry office in England in May, and take the boys with us, and a couple of witnesses."

Alarm Clock Doubles as Barista for Easy Morning Awakening
The Barisieur wakes up users with the smell of freshly brewed coffee
For coffee drinkers, there's nothing like that first cup of their favorite hot beverage to kick off their day. That is why an alarm clock that automatically brews you coffee to wake you up could be a coffee lover's dream come true.
Designed by London-based industrial designer Josh Renouf, the Barisieur is an alarm clock that doubles as a coffee brewer.
The alarm clock looks like one of those classic rectangular digital alarm clock with a chemistry set on top of it. The base of the Barisieur is American walnut with a digital clock display. There are knobs on the side and a switch for the coffee brewer next to the digital display. A small drawer on the front serves as storage for the sugar and ground coffee beans.
The sleek device has stainless steel ball bearings inside a bespoke hand blown glass beaker that boils water through induction heating. The boiling water is pushed out of the beaker through a slim glass tube and is poured over the ground coffee which is placed in a sustainable stainless steel coffee filter. The coffee then drips through the filter and into a glass cup. In the middle of the tray is a small glass container that holds the milk or cream.
The Barisieur basically wakes up users with the gently clinking of metal against metal and metal against glass, as well as with the smell of freshly brewed coffee. The unique device moves away from loud ringing alarms to simply nudge the user awake by engaging not just their sense of hearing but also their sense of smell and even taste. For coffee drinkers, waking up to grab a freshly brewed cup of coffee waiting at their bedside may be all the boost they need to start the day right.
The dual function alarm clock also encourages users to start a night time ritual of preparing the alarm clock for tomorrow before going to sleep – a ritual that the designer describes as a signal to the body and mind that it is time to unwind and relax.
Renouf exhibited the Barisieur at New Designers 2014.

Michael Clinton, president of marketing at Hearst, just ran a marathon in Antarctica.
But what a flawed hero is our Rupert.Like Hearst, he was never a pioneer or much of an innovator as a newspaper publisher.
In any event, her efforts to apologize and/or clarify were dismissed as not enough, and she resigned from Hearst.
His boss, Will Hearst, had become a good friend and was a generous employer.
New Hearst newspapers president Steve Swartz announces Hearst papers will charge for some content.
Nevertheless, Mr. Hearst is far and away the most promising journalist whom I have yet come across.
Hearst would offer the pick of his newspapers to any reporter who could rescue her.
But although the Hearst newspapers argued most persuasively on behalf of this course it did not prevail.
Mr. Hearst died about this time and it was feared a sale would not be made.
Out in the Bay, we had with us a reporter for the Hearst papers.

These are the inflatable remote-controlled shark and clownfish that swim through the air with the same graceful movements as underwater. Unlike other neutrally buoyant aircraft with dedicated vector propellers, they use reciprocating tail fins that provide forward motion, just as a real shark's or clownfish's tail pushes against water. Deft control of the infrared remote transmitter's rocker-arm switch moves the tail back and forth for propulsion indoors up to 10' away within line of sight. Faster switching results in vigorous "swimming" while holding the switch in the left or right position executes wide, arcing turns. A weighted ventral pod slides forward and backward on a fixed rail at the remote's command, raising or lowering its pitch for climbs or descents. Mylar construction; helium available at any party supply store. Requires four AAA batteries. Ages 8 and up. 57" L x 24" W x 36" H. (6 oz.)

My mother sent this for my 11 year old for his birthday. I delayed and delayed getting it blown up with helium bc I thought it would be such a pain. I also sort of resented (A LITTLE!!) having to do work on a gift. But I took it to Party City or something, they blew it up in about 3 nanoseconds, and we were off. Even leaving the store with the blown up shark had me laughing. We got home, the directions were a little involved, but explained well and very doable. It took maybe 20 minutes to set it up. It does have to be done properly, but again, it is doable. The directions are pretty clear. I wish I could attach a video of this thing. It is HUGE, and moves through the air as if it is in the sea - slowly, powerfully, and with determination. Not only was my 11 year old laughing like crazy - so were my 18 year old, 17 year old and 14 year old - as well as me. With trepidation, I checked the price as I couldn't believe that my mother was giving something like this as a birthday present. I was very surprised at how reasonable this thing was for what you get. I will be interested to see how easily we can re-blow it up with helium once this first helium is no longer effective. If you are tired of remote control planes, airplanes and cars that break after two or three playing sessions - try this. You will NOT be disappointed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Here is what the gift recipient said about the Air Shark.Ralph, here you go;Air shark was a really neat gift! I flies very well! We live in Denver and it took a little extra helium, but non the less did very well! The only issue was after a day or so, the fins and tail wouldn't stay attached, therefore that limited the time we could use it. Otherwise, we would still be using it. Thanks! PpMahalo

I purchased the Air Swimmer Clownfish for a 2-year old's birthday party. It was an enormous hit for everyone from the babies to the grownups. I would give 5 stars but putting it together is not easy. The written instructions that are in the package are completely different that the video online. Once put together it's amazing.
The kids loved the "Nemo" clownfish!

Even with a magnifying glass, it was hard to get the micro plug to connect in the tail assembly, but it eventually did connect OK.

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
Cool and fun toy but the adhesive on the two sided tape and the extra tape DO NOT hold. After about 8 hours parts started falling off. Also the putty was dried out and it was hard to form it properly for ballast. The toy needs better quality control. As a side note, as the instructions say you need two people to assemble and you definitely do. I would recommend from the aspect of it being fun and entertaining for all ages but the quality is poor and therefore I would not recommend overall.

GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) — After persistent drought conditions, a popular north Georgia lake is beginning the summer recreation season with a full pool of water.
Lake Lanier, northeast of Atlanta, is at 1,072.29 feet. That is the highest it has been since Feb. 8, 2010, when the lake was at 1,072.34.
The last time Lanier was higher on May 1 was in 2003, The Times of Gainesville reported (http://bit.ly/YlRPjP).
With summer tourism season about to get under way, "you can't get better than that," said Stacey Dickson, president of the Lake Lanier Convention & Visitors Bureau.
"Also, a fuller lake means a safer lake, making the lake a better, more enjoyable experience," Dickson told the Gainesville newspaper.
The water level was far lower just a few months ago.
During the devastating 2007-09 drought, the water level was drained to 1,050.79 feet above sea level.
Then, on Dec. 18, The lake dropped to 1,056.33 feet, nearly 14 feet below the winter full pool of 1,070 feet.
Since that date, however, the lake began a steady upward climb.
Much of that can be attributed to higher amounts of rainfall.
According to National Weather Service data, Gainesville had received 24.83 inches of rain this year as of Tuesday, and the normal year-to-date rainfall amount through Tuesday was 19.19 inches, a surplus of 5.64 inches.
Because of increased rainfall and a full lake, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will increase the minimum flow at Peachtree Creek near Vinings northwest of Atlanta to 750 cubic feet per second from 650 cfs, which had been the flow since late December.
"The good news is that the extended drought forecast for the Southeast region is much better this year than what we saw this time last year," said Joanna Cloud, executive director of the Gainesville-based Lake Lanier Association.
"So, hopefully we will see higher lake levels as we move into summer and fall," she said. Still, "this puts the pressure back on all of us to once again step up our conservation efforts."

The George Clooney Cover History
A man helps a drunk up at a bar and offers to take him home. On the way to the car, the drunk falls down three times. As they walk up to his house, he falls down four more times. After ringing the bell, the man says, "Here's your husband!"
The drunk's wife says, "Where's his wheelchair?"
About the Jokester:
Ari Graynor called in a favor for this interview. From Woody Allen. She said she needed a joke, and he responded with the Henny Youngman bit above. The 28-year-old, best known as the inebriated sidekick in Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, has a new project: a raunchy slapstick with Jonah Hill called The Sitter. The movie taps into a skill Graynor perfected in a recent play, Trust, and starts with an equally intimate scene. "I had to fake orgasm over and over and over again." Her secret? "It's all about the breath. Breath and joy." And here we thought it was all pity.
I was in Albuquerque shooting a movie called Ten Year. I had just moved out of a home — out of a relationship — and didn't have a place. It was like, Oh shit, I need to have something when I move to L.A. Within 24 hours on Craigslist, that place presented itself. I've been in 20 different sublets and apartments over the past eight years. That one is definitely my favorite.

Which Hollywood Starlet Should Play Wonder Woman?
Which brunette bombshell of Tinseltown should fill the heroine's shoes on the small screen?
-Faye Brennan
According to E! Online, Wonder Woman will be returning to the small screen thanks to the creator of Ally McBeal, David E. Kelley. You may have heard the comic book franchise would be turned into a movie, but director Joss Whedon's plans for that (back in 2005) didn't pan out.
So, now it's Kelley's turn to take a stab at WW, which we think could be pretty successful as a TV show, considering the 1970s series The New Adventures of Wonder Woman did well with Lynda Carter as the star. The only question is: who would play the sexy heroine now?
Read 6 Chick Flicks We Can't Wait For
We agree with E! Online that it would have to be a hot young starlet with the brunette locks and the kick-butt attitude of Wonder Woman herself. The site created a poll of potential actresses, and so far Evangeline Lilly is in the lead, followed by Megan Fox and Ashley Greene. To see the other choices, click here.
Who do you think would be perfect for Wonder Woman? Are you excited the franchise is being resurrected, or is this a comic book storyline that should be left in the past? (E! Online)

October 2009
Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009 -- On-site hockey arena
I heard a rumor that UAF was giving consideration to building an on-site hockey arena to facilitate the Nanook Hockey games to avoid the fees charged by the Carlson Center? Have the UAF executives given this idea any thought.Ā
UAF has explored the possible construction ofĀa multiuse facility that could house a sheet of ice and/or an indoor field, butĀthere is no funding available to design or construct this type of facility. UAF's top five capital priorities for new construction are as follows:
1. Life Sciences Classroom and Laboratory Facility
2. Energy Technology Facility
3. Engineering Expansion
4. University Fire Station and Student Firefighter Training Center
5. Student Services Residential Facilities.Ā
The UA Board of Regents is expected to vote on the capital request at their next meeting in Fairbanks Oct. 30, 2009.
Monday, Oct. 26, 2009 -- Student and staff rates
As both a full-time staff member and a degree-seeking student, every semester I run into problems with differences in rates for student and staff parking decals, gym access and museum admission. Is there a set policy on which set of rates I ought to be paying? I get a different set of answers each time I ask, and depending on who I call in which office... I pay plenty of student fees still which makes me think I ought to be treated as a student and I argue such, but its frustrating that my rates depend on how vehemently I can argue and how well I stand my ground.
I don't park on campus any more because I moved closer to campus and the buses are so handy (and free, thanks!) so I no longer care specifically about the parking decal issue, but I can't be the only employee-student with this problem....
Thank you for your question. It does get a bit confusing. We've included information from the various departments below.
Full-time students (12 or more credit hours) get free admission to the museum; the PolarExpress cards are swiped at the admission desk when they want to visit. The key distinction is the difference between a being full-time student and being a degree-seeking student.
Student Recreation Center
Student taking 9 or more credits are required to pay the $75/semester SRC fee. This gives students access to the SRC and Patty Center recreational facilities. This fee is not waived and is part of student fees. Students taking 3-8 credits have the option of purchasing the SRC fee for the $75/semester fee.Ā This must be paid at the business office.
Many students think they have paid for the SRC membership with the $8/credit hour fee for Athletics & Recreation fee charged to anyone taking 3-12 credits but the membership to the SRC is a separate fee.
The employee status supersedes that of an employee taking classes as a student. The fact that employees can use tuition waivers to attend class implies that they are an employee of the university and therefore are granted a waiver from paying tuition, but still must purchase a decal at the employee rate. Students are not allowed tuition waivers unless they are sponsored by an employee (family member) and can purchase a decal at the student rate. Unfortunately, the Banner system recognizes student employees as staff, so if a student has ever held a student job, it does not allow them to purchase a student decal online so they must contact either the Business Office or Parking Services to purchase the student decal.Ā
Friday, Oct. 23, 2009 -- Soft closure
Where can I find out information on the proposed 'soft closure'? ĀHow will the soft closure work? ĀWill all department/units need to participate? ĀWhat effect will soft closure have on those enployees who have already used a majority of their allotted 10 days of Leave Without Pay?
I am wondering about the holiday soft closure that is coming up in December. Can you provide the latest details and where comments can be sent on the matter? Thank you.
From Kris Racina, UAF Human Resources
In an effort to achieve energy and payroll savings Chancellor Rogers implemented the option for UAF departments to extend the winter break for the three additionalworkdays, Dec. 21-23, 2009, preceding the system-wide holiday closure. This year, Dec. 24, 25, 31 and Jan. 1 are paid holidays, and the university will be closed Dec. 28, 29 and 30 as part of the normal holiday closure.
Department closure or reduced business hours, Dec. 21-23, is encouraged. However, there may be departments performing essential services that will need to remain open and employees in those departments may not be able to take leave during this time. Supervisors are in the process of deciding whether business hours can be reduced during the extra three days. Check with your supervisor on your department's status.
For reduced business hours there will be no forced leave. Employees may choose to work even if the department is closed; take annual leave or leave without pay; or take sick leave upon submission of evidence of illness or a professional appointment or treatment as indicated in university regulation R04.06.130 C.7. However, administrative leave is not an option during the closure.
Employees should be aware that retirement eligibility (PERS and TRS) may be affected if your leave without pay exceeds 10 days in a calendar year.
Once the business hours for your department have been determined, please coordinate with your supervisor regarding your leave. If after that you have additional questions, please contact Human Resources at 474-7700.
Friday, Oct. 23, 2009 -- Replace the flag
Please have someone replace the US and Alaska State flags on the Bunnell Bldg. It is disrespectful for them to be so torn and the Alaska State flag to be hanging at half mass and resting the roof the the Bldg
I would rather not have flags then to have these flow.ĀThank you.
Thank you for your suggestion. There is a work order in place to replace the flags. Facilities Services will check on the status.
Friday, Oct. 23, 2009 -- Biking discounts
In order to support sustainability and to achieve a healthy work environment, would you consider offering parking discounts to students, staff and faculty who ride their bikes to UAF?
For instance, I rode my bike to work 2-3 times per week this summer. I was only parking on campus half of the time, but I had to pay for a full summer parking permit.Ā
From Martin Klein, Parking and Transportation Services
Thursday, Oct. 22, 2009 -- Athletic teams
I heard that the Athletics Department is considering replacing the swim team with a women's hockey team (Division II) or just adding the hockey and keeping the swim team. Have either of these plans been considered, or is it a meritless rumor?
From Forrest Karr, ĀAthletics and Recreation
Thursday, Oct. 22, 2009 -- H1N1 flu clinics on campus
Will the H1N1 vaccine be made available for employees like the standard flu shot?
UAF is currently working with local health providers to organize employee H1N1 vaccination clinics on theĀFairbanks campus, but due to the need to coordinate with multiple agencies, no specific dates and times have been set.Ā
The State of Alaska has pre-registered more than 300 private healthĀcare providers who will distribute H1N1 vaccine when it becomesĀavailable, this will be in addition to the many mass-dispensingĀclinics which will be held.
The UAF Center for Health and Counseling has preregistered and plansĀto offer both the seasonal and H1N1 vaccines to students. InformationĀwill be posted onĀhttp://twitter.com/UAFHealth_Couns.
The focus at this time for H1N1 vaccination distribution is on high-risk groups including:
• pregnant women;
• anyone who lives with or cares for children younger than 6 months old;
• health-care and emergency service workers;
• everyone age 6 months–24 years old; and
• adults age 25–64 who have chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.
Other actions that can help prevent the spread of viruses include:
• Cough or sneeze into your sleeve, or cover your nose and mouth with Āa tissue. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
• Disinfect hard surfaces using a diluted bleach solution orĀcommercial sanitizer.
• Stay home if you get sick.
Frequent updates are also posted atĀhttp://www.uaf.edu/alert/.
Friday, Oct. 16, 2009 -- ARRV research vessel
Regarding the question and response below I would like to hear the Chancellor's new view on the matter after he visited the Kodiak facility. ĀThe Seward community has long anticipated and supported this vessel and worked very hard on getting it. ĀIt would be a shame to see the University move it elsewhere after long promises. Ā
I have heard rumor that the ARRV (new research vessel) may home port in Homer or Juneau. Is that correct?ĀĀĀ
Seward is currently the planned homeport for the ARRV, however the communities of Kodiak and Juneau have expressed interest. Chancellor Rogers visited Seward and will also visit Kodiak to hear their request. A final decision will be made after hearing from interested communities.
During the proposal process for the Alaska Region Research Vessel, Seward was listed as the planned home port facility. The university has also received requests from Juneau and Kodiak to be considered as the home port for the ARRV. ĀAfter the Chancellor visited Seward and Kodiak, the university decided to prepare a decision matrix comparing the needs for home porting the vessel with the facilities available or that could be made available in each location. Total cost of operating the vessel from each location is being evaluated. When the evaluation is complete, a final decision will be made on the home port location.
Thursday, Oct. 15, 2009 -- UAF Health Center for UAF staff
Is it possible to open up the health center for UAF staff and faculty to use? There would probably be some initial costs to develop additional infrastructure, but in the long run the university would save money in lost productivity of employees taking sick leave and in heath care costs. Although the health center could not treat major illnesses, employees could get acute problems addressed and have on-site access to wellness care with savings for the employee and the university (the insurer). Maybe one way to fund this would be to divert all or part of the WIN benefit funding to the health center.
The primary issue in considering the population we serve here at UAF is one of facilities. Our current space has only four exam rooms, which are at capacity just seeing students. If the center were to open its services to see a significantly larger population, expanded facilities would have to be available to allow for an increased number of providers, support staff, lab equipment, etc. The medical staff would need to grow in size and there would be a significantly different demand in the type of services required. Perhaps in the future, this could be a possibility, but not in the foreseeable future given the priority given to the construction of academic facilities.
In addition, the Health Center currently deals with a relatively young and healthy population. The addition of faculty and staff to the patient load would change both the level of demand and the type of issues seen. It might also require adding staff to handle insurance from staff and faculty.
Thursday, Oct. 15, 2009 -- Coin changer for metered parking
Why aren't there change machines for the parking meters on campus, as not everyone carries quarters with them?
Parking Services and the Parking Circulation Committee have explored the pros and cons of installing a coin changer machine over the years.ĀThe obvious advantage of having a coin changer is the convenience to customers using the meter lots.
The disadvantages are more involved, including location, management, security, troubleshooting, accessibility to customers, and the fact that the coin machine could not be outside due to extreme weather conditions.
There are several questions to be addressed:
1) Where would we install a machine that would be accessible to customer in all metered lots and spaces? The coin machine would need an open area and possibly an electrical outlet depending on the type of coin machine.
2) Troubleshooting a machine that malfunctioned and the management of how and when to refund.
3) Installing a machine in a location that would deter vandalism.
In weighing all of the options, Parking Services and the Parking Circulation Committee decided to take a more aggressive approach by advertising metered parking through signage, campus map, parking website and brochures so that customers can prepare before parking in a metered space.
Please feel free to contact Parking directly at 474-PARK or 474-RIDE.Ā
Thursday, Oct. 15, 2009 -- Account codes on Financial Services website
On the financial services website, the format for the list of account codes has changed to a very un-user friendly format. Is an effort being made to return to a more efficient and easier to read format? THANKS!
Monday, Oct. 5, 2009 -- Campus switch to Google Calendar
Why is the conversion from Meeting Maker to Google Calendar being done so quickly? ĀWhat is the rush?
Thursday, Oct. 1, 2009 -- Disc golf course on UAF campus
I noticed a new disc golf course put up on campus. ĀWhere can I find a map of all the baskets? ĀIs there a set direction of play, beginning or end? ĀĀ
When will the map of the frisbee golf course be posted (and where)? I had read in Statewide Voice that the course was scheduled to be completed in the spring, but have noticed some holes are already in - when will it be ready to go?Ā ĀĀ Ā
Thursday, Oct. 1, 2009 -- Recycling office supplies
Is there a clearinghouse for office and other supplies on the Fairbanks campus? ĀIt's a shame to waste anything we have paid for, but the space is needed for other uses. The alternative is to throw away perfectly good materials.
Surplus items are handled by the UAF Property. Just download the surplus forms and fax it to them to come pick up your items. These items are available for other departments to pick up at no cost to the department and twice a year the Property Office has a public auction to recycle the remaining items.Ā Ā

A COUNCILLOR has launched a scathing attack on his own council's decision to 'squander' up to £25,000 on new Christmas lights.
Peter Webb, of Upton-upon-Severn Town Council, said the decision to commit the funds from reserves was reprehensible and accused those responsible of spending public money without due care and diligence.
Members of the council's hall and finance committee agreed to commit £25,000 for the new state-of-the-art lights and a huge Christmas tree on the riverside, but will also be receiving donations – potentially up to £6,000 – from the Upton Tourism and Trade Association (UTTA), which initiated the scheme, to offset some of the cost.
But Coun Webb said the decision was rushed through without proper checks, reporting requirements or any agreements to repay the funds to reserves.
He said he was staggered by the decision to shell out the money at one stroke when so many other areas of the town are in need.
"The open spaces committee has been asking for funds to refurbish the woefully inadequate children's playground; the town band, mainly young people, are in dire financial straits; Upton in Bloom struggles year on year to find funds to enhance the town and encourage visitors; the library is at risk because of withdrawal of funds and the tourist information centre has lost its prime position in the town," he said.
"This is public money being spent in an improvident manner without due care and diligence and which is even more reprehensible during these times of constraint and budgetary control."
Speaking at a full council meeting, Coun Webb said the decision should be revoked unless the council wished to be "indicted by parishioners with their total lack of respect for their money and for the hard-working people whose money they are squandering."
Coun Webb was told that as his comments were listed as a personal statement on the agenda, there would be no further discussion.
He has since submitted a list of questions on how the decision was taken and the specifics of the scheme to the hall and finance committee.
Town mayor Andrea Morgan was sorry to hear of Coun Webb's disappointment, but said: "The decision to purchase the Christmas lights was taken legally and democratically."
She said proper checks had been carried out, with most of the preliminary work being undertaken by UTTA which had met with the Christmas lights supplier and considered references.
