Call Detail Management Information Report
Social Security Administration
Notice of System of Records
Required by the Privacy Act of 1974, As Amended
System number: 60-0363
System name: Call Detail Management Information Report
Security classification: None.
System location: The vendor responsible for providing new telephone systems provides call detail reports, which are immediately available in a web-based report format to management (known as service observers), at their desktops. Reports are also available from the N8NN telephone system automatic call distribution (ACD) equipment that give call details for all calls received or dialed.
Real time queries and reports, as well as historical summary data (half-hourly, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually) are available by telephone extension, unit, branch, division, center, area, region, and national.
The locations of
these records include field offices, teleservice centers, area director and
regional offices, processing centers, Office of Central Operations (OCO) answering
centers, and the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR)
Headquarters and regional hearing offices. Contact the system manager at the address below for the address of these
sites. Records are also located at
Social Security Administration (SSA) central office components. The SSA central office address is Social Security Administration (SSA),
Categories of individuals covered by the system: SSA employees who are assigned telephone numbers.
Categories of records in the system: Call detail reports contain all telephone extensions in SSA offices and include the telephone number(s) of callers to the office. Employees' names may be associated with an extension, but the system of records does not provide the name of the person who called from that number. However, it does provide the number dialed on outgoing calls and the employee's extension. Automatic call distribution equipment also includes the caller's telephone number, the extension of the agent answering the call, unit number, date of call, and all the particulars of the call (e.g., duration, how long it took for the agent to answer the call, how much time was spent working after the call was completed, time on hold, transfer information, and employee skill set [e.g., Spanish speaking, Title II Claims, Title XVI Claims, General Inquiry]).
For offices with upgraded telephone systems, the system provides additional information when the office sets up the system to identify skill groups (e.g., the skill set of the employee assigned to that extension [claims representative, service representative]). In cases of skill group setups, the detail on the website would also provide that an extension that received or made the call is assigned to an employee in a Title II or Title XVI, General Inquiry, Administrative, Family Line, etc. In regional offices, processing centers, OCO call answering sites, components at Headquarters, ODAR Headquarters regional and local offices, the component name, site, division or branch title, section or unit identification, employee name, extension, etc., may be set up for identifying incoming or outgoing call destinations with the same call detail particulars already mentioned.
Authority for maintenance of the system of records: Sections 205(a) and 702(a)(5) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 405(a) and 902(a)(5)).
Purpose(s): This system of records provides immediate online call detail management information. SSA management will use call detail reports for the following purposes:
- to determine office, unit and employee performance and service efficiency (i.e., call-talk time of a claims representatives can help evaluate the average number of claims that can be taken within a specific period of time, which is helpful in determining staffing for that workload);
· for employee performance assessment, and determining any conduct issues and
disciplinary action;
- to validate a complaint from a member of the public (i.e., verify which extension received a call to be able to discuss the problem with the employee assigned to that extension);
- to trace or identify or associate call data regarding the number of a caller threatening the safety of the public, Federal employees, or Federal property;
- as documentation to rebut costs provided on a monthly bill from the telephone company or carrier;
- to help management determine if an employee receives or makes repeated personal calls from or to a number over a period of time;
· to verify numerous calls to or from the same number for litigation purposes; and
- to assist the Office of the Inspector General office representatives in an investigation; and
- to support any other SSA regional or Headquarters employees in their official capacity to provide employee counseling.
Routine uses of records maintained in the systems of records, including categories of users and the purposes of such use: Routine uses disclosures are as indicated below:

Desert and Moon
Photograph by Anissa Martin
National Geographic's Pine Ridge Photo Camp asked a group of youths from South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation to present a portrait of their community's efforts to reconnect their cultural identity to the natural environment.
Guided by National Geographic contributing photographer Maggie Steber, the high school students, all active in the SuAnne Big Crow Boys and Girls Club, spent four days in July 2008 photographing, writing, and discussing the importance of nature in their lives.
Here, a student in a moving vehicle captures a striking desert scene with the moon over a sandstone ridge.

An award-winning photographer, Maggie Steber walked her Photo Camp students through the use of camera equipment and photographic techniques and discussed how to develop a photographic vision.
Here, student Stephanie Clifford used an interesting perspective to frame a pair of hands in the shape of a heart within the landscape of her reservation.
Crosses and Graves

Students at Pine Ridge Photo Camp learned the art of telling a story not only with their photography but also with their writing. In the end, their work was compiled into a multimedia show.
This view of a family burial plot is particularly poignant in Pine Ridge, where poverty and poor health have driven life expectancy there to some of the lowest levels in the country.

Located in southwest South Dakota, the Pine Ridge Reservation is home to the Oglala Lakota Native American tribe. It is the eighth largest reservation in the United States and home to the nation's poorest county.
Wrote one camp participant: "Our lives may be crappy, we may not be with our mom or dad, but we still are strong people, and we're connected with every native, no matter where we may come from!"
Here, Photo Camp student Denna Andrews captures her own pensive gaze in this self-portrait through a window at nighttime.

Once a staple of the Native American diet, bison were hunted to near extinction by white settlers in the 19th century. Some believe reintroducing bison meat as a source of protein could help combat chronically poor health on U.S. reservations.
Here, a young girl feeds a bison at a Pine Ridge ranch owned by "Poker Joe" Merribal.

The theme of Pine Ridge Photo Camp was the environment and conservation.
Bison, like this pair grazing near a field of crops, no longer cover the American West, but are still an important part of Native American culture.

Since our last new tool report in fall 2008, companies have been busier than ever cranking out the latest and greatest. Why all the focus on new products now, with the building economy at a near standstill and the pool of buyers arguably diminished? Some of the projects coming to fruition started as concepts years ago, and no one wants to stand still regardless of the market conditions. Emerging as a leader for the next boom period holds an obvious benefit for all who persevere.
So here are some of the new tool lines that have grabbed our attention since our last report. Catch up on all of our new tool reporting by checking out toolsofthetrade.net/blogs.
1-Ridgid has two totally redesigned tile saws that are replacing its previous model. The new 7- and 10-inch-blade models are built on folding, rolling stands – same as the company's table and miter saws – and they feature a unique water-management system that relies on a garden hose or an attached bucket to supply water instead of the usual flat pan. The models are priced pretty reasonably for the category. Look for the larger tool in our tile-saw test.
Two pressure washers with Subaru engines and Cat pumps are also new. Both models have wheeled fold-down frames, onboard detergent tanks, and multiple spray tips. The larger washer features electronic fuel injection and is rated at 3,300 psi and 3.0 gallons per minute, while the smaller one is rated at 3,000 psi and 2.6 gallons per minute.
A one-hand trim router was also new for spring; it has a threaded micro-adjust mechanism, a rubberized body grip, and a variable-speed motor.
2-Ryobi is introducing five tile saws for less-frequent tile cutters, including three low-cost 7-inch-blade models: two with overhead blades, and one table-saw type. The overhead-blade saws share the garden-hose water-supply feature of brand-mate Ridgid, or they can be plumbed with a pump. In addition, the company has new corded and cordless handheld circular saws for tile.
Also new for summer is a line of painting power tools, including a heat gun, corded and cordless paint sprayers and roller pumps, and a novel paintbrush-cleaning machine.
A six-port charger that works on all of the brand's 18-volt battery packs allows you to leave batteries in the unit indefinitely; it senses when to leave the batteries alone and when to top off their charge automatically, ensuring that your batteries are always ready to go to work when you need them.
Ryobi's biggest departure from its core tool market is the new Tek 4 system, which seeks to replace the disposable alkaline battery market with a compact, rechargeable 4-volt lithium-ion battery pack. Ryobi envisions the creation of a standard-size rechargeable battery format that will someday be included on all brands of consumer electronics, and it is releasing a small line of lifestyle products and tools to kick off the concept.
From a digital multi-tester to a digital camera to a universal cell phone/personal electronics charger, all of the new Tek 4 products fit the same battery. It's an interesting idea. We would never give up our cordless tools, and as we rely on cordless-tool batteries to power everyday gadgets like flashlights, work lights, small vacuums, and job-site radios, it makes sense to have reliable rechargeable battery packs available for even more products. The battery format seems too large for some of the items – such as the headphones – but it's a start.
If this standardized rechargeable format takes over for double-A batteries someday, remember you saw it here first.
3-Milwaukee, too, has entered a whole new arena with its introduction of a business unit dedicated to producing electrical testing and measurement tools. Since its power tools are already favorites among many in the electrical and hvac trades, Milwaukee decided to capitalize on their popularity with a new line of more than a dozen multi-testers, ammeters, temperature sensors, and material and voltage scanners. A new twist to some of these tools is that they can be powered by Milwaukee's M12 cordless power-tool batteries, an idea akin to that of brand-mate Ryobi.
Other developments in the subcompact M12 line include a laser plumb bob, a pocket-sized 3/8-inch-drive impact wrench, and a Power Port gadget that provides up to five charges for cell phones, mp3 players, or other personal electronic devices from one charge of its M12 battery. A two-speed drill/driver with a chuck, a PVC tubing shear that slices pipe and tubing up to 2 inches in diameter, and an improved M-Spector flexible-stalk viewer with a memory card that records photos and videos with sound are the very newest M12s.
The 18-volt M18 line has some exciting new tools as well, including a new compact hammerdrill/driver and three powerful new impact wrenches. The 3/4-inch-drive model has a tremendous 525 foot-pounds of torque, and the 1/2-inch model provides 450 foot-pounds. This is a lot more torque than makers were getting out of much larger cordless impact tools just a few years ago. The 7/16-inch-drive tool is actually an impact drill meant for powering large bits through telephone poles and for other jobs where a super-powerful cordless tool is needed but the reaction torque of a normal drill might topple a worker off his precarious perch. The drill's hexagonal-socket bit holder fits the shanks of many self-feeding bits and auger bits. Another notable new M18 tool is a 3-1/4-inch-capacity mini band saw that is designed to do most of the cutting jobs portable band saws are used for but at about half the weight.
As for corded tools, the mini band saw is available corded, and there is a new 1-3/4-inch SDS-Max rotary hammer and a 14-pound SDS-Max demolition hammer.
4-Bosch had a major new release recently when it announced its entry into the field of pneumatic fastening with its first-ever nailers and compressors. See our First Test and Product Watch sections for more.
On the cordless side, the company's first 14.4- and 18-volt lithium-ion impact drivers and impact wrenches just came out. For each voltage there are 3/8- and 1/2-inch-drive wrenches, and the drivers come with a choice of standard or compact battery packs. Bosch also added a laser-level product line since its acquisition of CST Berger last year. Single- and double-head rotating lasers, multiple line and point generators, and tile layout lasers are all part of the new lineup.
5-DeWalt introduced six newly designed drill/drivers in its premium XRP line. Internal design changes include a new frameless motor and a three-speed transmission in a metal gear case; together, these improvements increase overall efficiency and allow the tools to get up to 30 percent longer runtime per battery charge, says the company. The original Nano branding for DeWalt's lithium-ion products has been dropped in favor of the less-confusing "XRP Lithium Ion."
Also brand new is DeWalt's first true compact 18-volt drill/driver, which combines the company's existing reduced body-size tool with a half-sized lithium-ion battery pack. Can subcompacts be far behind?
6-Porter-Cable is expanding its "tradesman" line of tools – a more economical series of cordless and common corded tools – beyond the heavy-duty routers and sanders that make up the company's traditional tool line. In the corded category, a new drill and jigsaw have appeared recently, and more tools were added to the 18-volt cordless series. Among the highlights are a cordless rotary cutout tool with an attached dust-collection port, a revival of the old DustBuster-style vac, and impact drivers in both 18- and 12-volt models. Compact battery packs compatible with all of Porter-Cable's 18-volt tools are also new.
7-Stanley has long been known for its iconic hand-plane designs, many of which have been around since the 19th century. But times have changed, and the company has redesigned some of its most popular models. Nos. 9-1/2 and 60-1/2 block planes and Nos. 4 (shown) and 62 bench planes were the first out and will soon be followed by a No. 92 shoulder plane. The frog (blade support) and base on all the new block and bench panes are cast as a single piece of ductile iron; and all the new tools feature adjustable mouths and threaded, Norris-type adjusters for their extra-thick A2 irons. Stanley even dusted off its old nostalgic Sweetheart logo – first used early in the last century – to commemorate the new designs.
8-Stiletto is introducing a series of six new titanium pry bars. As with all of the manufacturer's 100 percent titanium tools, the bars weigh 45 percent less than equivalent-sized steel tools, says Stiletto. The curved-end Multifunctional Flat Bars are available in 5-1/4-, 7-1/2-, 11-1/2- and 15-inch lengths. The Multifunctional Glazers Bars, with sharp, straight ends, come in 7-1/2- and 11-1/2-inch lengths.

Patsy Cline was a mega talent, for her undeniable ability to sing and as a crossover performer who soared up the country charts but who also had several rock 'n' roll hits on mainstream radio.
"Patsy Cline's music really doesn't feel trapped in a certain era, and Cline brought country into mainstream with her success in the pop charts," entertainer Meg McLynn said.
McLynn will perform a tribute concert, "Foolin' Around With Patsy Cline," on Saturday at Historic Everett Theatre.
The concert is presented by Purple Phoenix Productions, www.dduvallmusic.com/purple-phoenix.html, a company that specializes in tributes to iconic American entertainers such as Cline, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Bobby Darin and Rosemary Clooney.
The eight-piece Purple Phoenix Country Band will back up McLynn on stage.
McLynn said the concert will be a classy combination of great hits and great gowns, copying the style of the Las Vegas and Atlantic City showrooms in their 1960s heyday.
"This show fell into my lap, and honestly if I could put everything down and do nothing but Patsy Cline I'd be a very happy lady, wearing beautiful gowns and singing with a band," McLynn said in a phone interview.
McLynn said she has been a fan of Cline since she was a kid growing up in New Jersey, when her dad listened to the country music radio station.
McLynn said she wasn't so much a fan of country music as she was the talent of some of the female singers of the time.
"Those women really made their voices heard and had to stand tall to the men in the industry," McLynn said.
McLynn said she doesn't have a favorite Cline song but in this two-hour set, the audience will certainly hear some of Cline's more than 30 hits which included, "Walkin' After Midnight," "I Fall To Pieces," "She's Got You," "Heartaches," "Sweet Dreams," "Foolin' Around," "So Wrong," "Faded Love," "He Called Me Baby," "Strange," "San Antonio Rose," "Anytime" and her trademark hit "Crazy."
Cline is known as the Queen of Country Music, who became a star in a short six-year spurt from the 1950s to her death in the crash of a private plane in 1963.
She released three albums before her death, and in 1973 was the first female solo artist to be elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Her recording of "Crazy" was named the No. 1 jukebox recording of all time. She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999. In 2002, Country Music Television named her No. 1 on its list of "40 Greatest Women of Country Music," according to Cline's biography.
One Cline song McLynn really enjoys singing isn't a country song but a rock number, "Stupid Cupid."
It's the kind of song that makes you want to dance, she said. She's going to try to turn the vast space between the stage and the first row at Historic Everett into a spot for people to dance.
"I have never played at Everett, but I understand it's a beautiful old Vaudeville type theater so I'm really excited," McLynn said. "I want there to be dancing in that space so I'll be working to get the audience warmed up."
McLynn is no stranger to working an audience. She has entertained audiences all across the country.
She received her bachelor of fine arts from Emerson College and headed to Seattle, where her first performance was at an awards dinner for Bill Gates Sr. Over the next few years, McLynn focused on educational theater until the pull of classical theater took her back to New York, where she received her master of fine arts from Columbia University, according to her biography.
She returned to Seattle in 2010 to focus on musical theater, appearing in "The Who's Tommy," "Pinocchio" and "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson." She has performed with Seattle Opera, Village Theatre and Book-It Rep.
"Foolin' Around With Patsy Cline" starts at 8 p.m. Saturday at Historic Everett Theatre, 2911 Colby Ave., Everett.
General admission is $18.50 and $13.50; 425-58-6766, online at www.etix.com or at the box office.

They met on a Vienna-bound train, and fell in love with each other over a long night's talk "Before Sunrise."
Nine years later, they reconnected in Paris and fell in love all over again, no matter how much more complicated their lives had turned.
And now, nearly a decade after that, they're older, settled, with lives more complicated than ever. Will Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) make it, rekindle their relationship "Before Midnight"?
Any couple that still has this much to say, who can still make each other laugh no matter how grave or loud the argument, has got to have a fighting chance.
"Before Midnight" is just as witty, chatty and close-to-the-bone about relationships as the two earlier Richard Linklater collaborations with these two writing actors. Set at the end of a long summer vacation in Greece, these Parisians live through the romance of that holiday and the quarrels that come once the real world starts intruding on their lives again. Old grievances and new ambitions, lingering guilt and fondly held hopes come to the fore as these two hash it out over a long night away from the kids.
Jesse has just kissed his tweenage son (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick) and put him on a plane back to Chicago, back to the woman Jesse left when he took up with Celine "Before Sunset." He's got three books under his belt, now — and twin daughters from his marriage to Celine. But he's missing his son's formative years and would love to move back to the States.
Celine has her own career, one that she's ready to change. If only she could stop packing for the kids, tending to Jesse's needs and scheduling everyone. She's feeling "oppressed" and resentful.
He's 41, with the same scruffy hair and scraggly goatee. She's pleasingly plump, and OK with it. But something starts the fight between the "fat-(bottomed) middle-aged French woman losing her hair" and the "geographically challenged, football-obsessed doughnut-loving American." And there's no ending it, not easily anyway.
The collaborative script has each actor embellishing lines and buttressing his or her arguments with pointed, on-the-mark zingers. Hawke and Delpy are quite believable as a couple, articulate people with a lot of history.
The debate is salty and sexual. It doesn't stop just because he's taken her top off.
And for the most part, it all seems too real. The occasional arch moment pops out as the argument escalates, more for structural reasons than organic ones. And I would have loved if Linklater ("Bernie," "School of Rock") had sprinkled some flashbacks from earlier films, letting us remember what these two maybe are forgetting — the moist-eyed romance of it all.
But "Before Midnight" is as good a depiction of a couple hitting that 7-to-10-year wall as you'd ever want to see.
And Delpy and Hawke are so engaging as actors in characters that you can't help but root for them.
"Before Midnight" 3 stars
The charming Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke return as Celine and Jesse, who first hooked up almost 20 years ago on a train bound for Vienna. They had twins, split up and get together again, with the same chemistry and twice as much history. With Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick as Jesse's son.
Showing: Alderwood Mall, Egyptian, Sundance, Woodinville, Cascade Mall.

Emergency planning is a continual cycle of planning, training, exercising, and revision that takes place throughout the four phases of the emergency management cycle such as preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery.
The purpose of the planning process is the development and maintenance of an up-to-date Emergency Management Plan (EMP). An EMP can be defined as a document describing how citizens and property will be protected in a disaster or emergency. Although the emergency planning process is cyclic, EMP development has a definite starting point.
There are four steps in the emergency planning process:

Pikeville, Ky. - Neville Bryce dove in from the one-yard line twice and Austin Williams had a key interception on the first drive of the game as the Tornados ran past Pikeville College on the road, 40-3.
Michael Crumbaker became the second Tornado to break the century mark this season, carrying the ball for 112 yards on 20 carries. Bryce contributed 68 yards on 18 carries, carrying the ball over the goal line twice in the first quarter as the Tornados racked up 22 first downs in the game, 17 of them on the ground. Brevard controlled the clock in their second game of the season, holding onto the ball for 37:22 minutes of the game and piling up 312 yards on the ground to dominate time of possession.
When the Tornados took to the air in the game Crumbaker went 4-6, with an interception, targeting Jeron Sikes three times for 28 yards, with all three catches going for first downs and keeping drives alive.
Pikeville was led by Jeremy Mobley, carrying the ball 12 times for 42 yards. Chase Ellis led the passing attack, going 7-14 with an interception, with his favorite target being Marcus Gilliam who hauled in four passes for 30 yards.
On the defensive side, Prince Simunyu took charge, leading a group which held the Bears to 75 total yards in the game. The sophomore outside linebacker racked up seven total tackles. Four of his tackles were for a loss, forcing the Bears to go back 24 yards and he also recorded a sack of Ellis. Stanley Jones and Donald Hudson each recorded four tackles for the Tornados.
Terry Hunter and Jamar Porter each recorded seven tackles to lead the Bears. John Brown had an interception off Crumbaker, while Nigel Charles recorded a sack.
Pikeville won the toss and chose to open the game with the ball. After a 20-yard return by Anson Cunningham, the Tornados defense took over as Simunyu and John Hardee drove the Bears back seven yards in their first two plays. On the third play, as Ellis dropped back to pass, he targeted Bobby Owens, but pressure forced a lob which Austin Williams jumped for, catching it at the peak and bringing it down to give the Tornados possession on the Pikeville 38.
On first down, Crumbaker faked the entire defense out, carrying the ball down the left sideline for 37 yards before being forced out-of-bounds at the one-yard line. Bryce carried it in from there, giving the Tornados the early 7-0 lead 2:27 into the game.
Following a Pikeville three-and-out, the Tornados started the first of what would be many extended drives on the day. Brevard opened the drive on their own 40 yard-line. 6:28 and 14 plays later, the Tornados punched the ball across the goal line on fourth down as Bryce carried it across the white line to put Brevard up 14-0.
Pikeville got on the board at the beginning of the second quarter after the Tornados first turnover of the season. Kyle Chilton, the Bears All-American kicker put one through the uprights from 44 yards out on a possession caused by a Bryce fumble to make the score 14-3.
Brevard was forced to punt on the ensuing possession after a penalty drove them back from a first down, but a booming 56-yard kick off the foot of sophomore Eric Watts forced Pikeville to start their next possession at their own 20.
On the first play of the drive, Preseason Second Team All-Conference defensive back Michael Gist came up from his safety position to force a fumble out of Bears' Alston Norris which was recovered by Justin Jefferson to give the Tornados excellent field position at the Pikeville 25.
Brevard capitalized on the turnover as Crumbaker carried the ball into the end zone four plays later on a five-yard run off the left tackle to give the Tornados a 21-3 lead with 10:44 left in the first half.
Brevard threatened to put points on the board two more times in the first half, but an interception by John Brown and a 36-yard field goal attempt as the clock was running out forced caused the score to remain 21-3 as the teams went into the locker room.
Both teams swapped possessions to start of the second half, before Brevard went on a long drive, capped off by a five-yard sprint by Shaton Pratt off the pitch from Crumbaker increased the lead to 28-3. The 14 play, 78 yard drive lasted 6:45 as the Tornados started to churn out yards against a tiring Bears defense.
Pikeville put together a drive of their own, starting on their 36 and moving the ball to Brevard's 25 before trotting out Chilton to attempt another kick. A high snap went through the hands of holder Levi Hanks and Salonik Amos picked up the bouncing ball and carried it the remaining 57 yards into the end zone, escorted by the entire defense to give the Tornados a commanding 34-3 lead after the Bears blocked Chase Henry's extra-point attempt with 14:48 left in the game
The Tornados scored one more touchdown in the closing seconds of the game as Derek Church rumbled over the goal line as Brevard marched down the field, using 19 plays to go 80 yards, killing off 10:32 off the clock. Pikeville again blocked the PAT attempt to put the score at 40-3.
Other statistics of note throughout the game, Justin Fleming had 10 carries for 44 yards, Richard Bush had seven carries for 34 yards and Jefferson and Eric Conner both combined for a sack on Ellis.
Brevard sets their sights now on next week as the Tornados head home to Brevard Memorial Stadium to take on the Hawks of Chowan University. Last year's contest was a down-to-the-wire thriller as the Hawks came from behind to defeat the Tornados 23-20. Kickoff for the Brevard College home opener is set for 2 p.m.

When wolves were discovered in the village near Master Shoju's temple, Shoju entered the graveyard nightly for one week and sat in zazen. This put a stop to the wolves' prowling. Overjoyed, the villagers asked him to describe the secret rites he had performed."I didn't have to resort to such things," he said, "nor could I have done so. While I was in zazen a number of wolves gathered round me, licking the tip of my nose and sniffing my windpipe, but because I remained in the right state of mind, I wasn't bitten. As I keep preaching to you, the proper state of mind will make it possible for you to be free in life and death, invulnerable to fire and water. Even wolves are powerless against it. I simply practice what I preach."
What is meditation? Is it a technique that can be practiced? Is it an effort that you have to do? Is it something which the mind can achieve? It is not.
All that the mind can do cannot be meditation. It is something beyond the mind; the mind is absolutely helpless there. The mind cannot penetrate meditation: where mind ends, meditation begins. This has to be remembered, because in our life, whatsoever we do, we do through the mind; whatsoever we achieve, we achieve through the mind. And then when we turn inward we again start thinking in terms of techniques, methods, doings, because the whole of life's experience shows us that everything can be done by the mind.
Yes, except meditation, everything can be done by the mind. Everything is done by the mind except meditation, because meditation is not an achievement. It is already the case, it is your nature. It has not to be achieved, it has only to be recognized, it has only to be remembered. It is there waiting for you - just a turning in and it is available. You have been carrying it always and always.
Meditation is your intrinsic nature. It is you, it is your being. It has nothing to do with your doings. You cannot have it. You cannot not have it. It cannot be possessed, it is not a thing. It is you, it is your being.
Once you understand what meditation is, things become very clear. Otherwise you can go on groping in the dark.
Meditation is a state of clarity, not a state of mind. Mind is confusion. Mind is never clear, it cannot be. Thoughts create clouds around you, they are subtle clouds. A mist is created by them and the clarity is lost. When thoughts disappear, when there are no more clouds around you, when you are in your simple being-ness, clarity happens. Then you can see far away, then you can see to the very end of existence. Then your gaze becomes penetrating, to the very core of being.
Meditation is clarity, absolute clarity of vision. You cannot think about it. You have to drop thinking. When I say you have to drop thinking, don't conclude in a hurry. Because I have to use language, so I say, "Drop thinking" - but if you start dropping you will miss, because again you will reduce it to a doing.
"Drop thinking" simply means don't do anything. Sit. Let thoughts settle themselves. Let mind drop on its own accord. Just sit gazing at the wall in a silent corner, not doing anything at all, relaxed, loose, with no effort, not going anywhere, as if you are falling asleep awake. You are awake and you are relaxing and the whole body is falling into sleep. You remain alert inside and the whole body moves into deep relaxation.

The best advice would be to test it out and see
Hi all,
Just sort of out curiosity, I run backtrack on my mac which has no virus protection on it etc etc. I was wondering if I was to install backtrack 5 r3 as a virtual machine on a windows 7 based laptop, will the laptops anti-virus software interfere with backtrack and pen testing? i.e. when running scans such as nmap will the computers anti-virus prevent the nmap scan from getting a three way handshake? Please guys don't give me grief for asking a some what nooby question, like I say, I use a mac and never used bt on a windows machine so in affect, its kind of new to me.
Thanks in advance!
The best advice would be to test it out and see
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
I dont think it should effect nmap scans for example. It would usually only flag malware files. Like metasploit payloads (unless your smart enough to get around the av detection ) And as sickness said it wont hurt just running the scan and seeeing if it works or not. whats the worst that can happen a little window pops up saying there a potential threat you close it and then you have an answer to your question

It's A Rich Man's World
Money is usually equated with security and the ability to have a comfortable life. Yet girls are still persistently raised to believe that they may not have control over this reality. We're often told that we should "marry rich" or at least make sure our husbands (always husbands) can "provide" or "take care of" us. This socialization perpetuates countless gender stereotypes: it relies on notorious stereotypes that frame women as bad at math and therefore incapable of managing their own money and perpetuates the idea that women should marry men who will make enough money to take care of them (ignoring women who would like to marry women or not marry at all).
When I talk to my friends about the "perfect" partner, we still love to paint the …

For water (one of the most important necessities of life) to be formed hydrogen and oxygen atoms need to collide. The earth does not have the required level of heat and energy to allow this collision. However, water was formed at one time during the creation of the Earth and this same water is continuously offered to us in a purified form.
Allah has granted great knowledge and abilities to people in regards to many subjects. For instance, thanks to today's technology, the formation of many things can be viewed in laboratory environment. However, there are certain basic events which the formation of can not be viewed in a lab environment. This basic thing, which is simultaneously a grand blessing, is "water", which covers most of the earth and is one of our most basic needs. Water was formed at one time during the creation of the Earth and then its formation phase was over.
The atoms of Hydrogen and Oxygen gases, which are two molecules that travel freely in the air, need to collide with one another in order to form water by coming together. During this collision, the bonds that form hydrogen and oxygen molecules weaken, and the atoms that form these molecules collide in order to form a new molecule called "water" (H2O). This so-called collision can only happen at a very high temperature, and in a level of high energy. There is no temperature on Earth now high enough to allow for the formation of water. Therefore, the formation of water is impossible. The water that exists on Earth is the water that was formed as a result of high temperatures during the creation of Earth.
The amount of this water never changes. The water that we drink, use and is a part of our life is always the same water. Waters that vaporize due to the Earth's water cycle return to us in purified form through the clouds. Allah revealed this truth in His verses:
"Have you thought about the water that you drink? Is it you who sent it down from the clouds or are We the Sender?" (Surat Al-Waqi'a, 68-69)
If Allah were to dry up all the water He created on Earth, there is no being strong enough to bring it back. If Allah does not send down the water He pulls to the clouds, there is no power to pull it back to Earth. All blessings are from Allah. Almighty Allah is the One Who continuously grants and provides, Who creates out of nothing, and Who is the Owner of superior strength.
"We sent down a measured amount of water from heaven and lodged it firmly in the earth; and We are well able to remove it." (Surat al-Muminun, 18)

Turtle released after swallowing fisherman's hook
Published: Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 9:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 9:33 p.m.
ISLAMADORA — A loggerhead sea turtle that swallowed a fisherman's baited hook has been returned to the ocean off the Florida Keys following successful surgery.
About 100 spectators cheered as the 145-pound turtle nicknamed Sandy slipped out of a fiberglass washtub and into the water Saturday.
The loggerhead sea turtle is classified by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Fisheries Service as a threatened species.
The turtle was hooked by an angler fishing from a bridge last Sunday. Instead of breaking the line and letting the turtle swim away with the hook deep inside its mouth, the fisherman brought the reptile to shore and contacted The Turtle Hospital in Marathon.
The hospital's veterinarian removed the hook and, following antibiotic therapy, the turtle was deemed healthy for release.

LONG BEACH — Despite colder than normal temperatures, things were a little hot in Long Beach last week.
The Long Beach Fire Department said that its arson unit investigated a trio of incidents ending in arrests.
On Feb. 18, Long Beach arson investigators helped in the arrest of Derrick Walker, 54, of Los Angeles who was arrested for alleged arson and insurance fraud involving the burning of his vehicle in Long Beach last August. The LAPD Devonshire Division and LA Fire Arson Investigators assisted with Walker's arrest.
Also Feb. 18, Jeremiah Hyde, 32, was arrested in North Long Beach for illegally burning without a permit in an open area. He also had an outstanding warrant.
On Feb. 15, Sokunthea Tan, 32, was arrested in Central Long Beach for alleged arson of an inhabited structure and vandalism of a vehicle on the 1000 block of Orange Ave.

Fatah, Hamas reach understanding in Cairo
Rival Palestinian groups Hamas and Fatah reached an "understanding" in Cairo on Wednesday to form a transitional unity government and hold elections, Egypt's official MENA news agency reported. The sides "reached a complete understanding after talks on all the points, including the formation of a transitional government with a specific mandate and setting a date for elections," it said.
Egypt will now call a meeting of all Palestinian factions to sign a reconciliation agreement in Cairo, it added. "There has been a comprehensive and final agreement," Azzam al-Ahmad, head of the Fatah delegation, told Egypt's state television
The agreement calls for presidential and legislative elections to be held within a year, Ahmad told AFP.
The factions met in Cairo with Egypt's new intelligence chief Murad Muwafi. The delegation of Hamas included senior members from the territory and its Damascus-based deputy leader, Mussa Abu Marzuk.

One way or another
Originally, I had started a blog item on the newly released, Mideast peace-securing, cancer-curing, saivor-of-all-mankind Head-Up Display from Ubuntu — "head up" what, exactly, is unclear, but not much imagination is needed — in which I promised to try it, but I still wonder aloud about the degree of "innovation" in what appears to be a GUI for the command line, to say nothing of the competing ease between clicking on a menu item versus typing it in a field.
No, I'm going to leave that pinata alone for the moment.
The real news this week is that Cinnamon 1.2, the Linux Mint fork of Gnome 2.x desktop, rolls out and gives an option to those who can't (due to hardware limitations) — or won't (due to the fact they don't like it) — use the latest GNOME 3 version. Linux Mint really nailed it here, but . . . .
I'll get back to that one soon, too.
What causes the bloggus interruptus today is an exchange I had a couple of days ago on a CrunchBang forum — it was completely tongue-in-cheek by both parties — where doing a task had more than one method to fix what a new user wanted to achieve.
In the exchange what was said, in effect (and in jest), is that you can do it the cool, "l33t h4xx0r" way using the command line, or you can use the n00b-oriented, menu-driven program written for the window manager that comes with the program. While poking fun, the subtext here still speaks to a digital caste system where the more experienced are on some sort of higher plane, either real or imagined (and I choose the latter), than the inexperienced.
Naturally, I concur that there is more than one way to a solution: Yes, the command line is the more direct way to get things done. However, not everyone using Linux — even CrunchBang, if the threads on the CrunchBang forum to which I refer are any indication — is that well-versed in using the terminal, and when it comes to tools, some of the menu-driven ones can be a godsend.
The point I'd like to make is that there are folks out there who have made and maintained programs like Obmenu and Obapps in Openbox, to use the example from the forum exchange, that essentially give the keys to those less experienced to change their digital experience without having to traverse the potential landmine the command line can be for new or less-experienced users.
For that reason, when the tools are available I use them, and when asked on a forum about how to do things and I know an option like this exists, I'll make this Plan A in my suggestion. Again, there is more than one solution, and if someone goes to the effort of explaining the commands to use in a terminal, more power to them.
(Let me be clear about one thing, too and point this to the new users: Learning some of the more basic commands — even some simple bash scripting — should be part of a Linux users repertoire, and chances are you'll find it fairly interesting. Or, if you're like me, you'll find it fun. But even if you don't find it fun, it's something you should know, and I would suggest taking the time to look up how the command line works and why.)
Yes, it may be a little less "h4xx0r" to do it from a program, but using these tools gives those who put in the effort a tip of the hat for going the extra mile and providing a method that helps out.
So to those of you who work on developing tools like Obmenu and Obapps — thanks for your efforts and keep up the work that, though anonymous, is vital to the success of distros everywhere.
We now return to writing another blog item, which is already in progress . . . .

bloggus interruptus, wow. That is a reach but……
Again The Free Software Guy has nailed it. There are folks in our community
that berate those of us who don't just write our own software. Even with my
10 or so years using Linux those Uber smart people can lose me with the second
word they speak. Ever notice a lack of social skills at the upper level of Linux?
No, me either.
Good GUIs are a life saver, mint or wintergreen please. Good, completely explained
command line instructions are always appreciated. Choice is good, eh Larry?
HUD, was a great movie. HUD is a great idea for pilots. HUD on the desktop is
something that turns my computer into a My Little Pony toy. Pass.
January 28, 2012 at 9:14 pm
As usual, I completely agree. No one loves xterm and emacs and wget (and even ncurses) more than me, and I've even used google's CLI python tools. Nonetheless, only the most expert users can now get along completely without GUIs. Despite repeated attempts, I have never figured out how to bring up WiFi without NetworkManager or Connman, for example.
January 31, 2012 at 9:32 pm
Nice post, Larry. I bolted from FB (before it becomes FBI, haha) and now "live" at joindiaspora.com and goodreads.com for socializing. I'll be in touch through your blog, though…


text: I really don't have a specific breed in mind to be honest and was hoping on getting some suggestions from some of you. A few breeds that I am interested in are Beagles, Boxers, Labrador Retrievers, & German Short-hair Pointers. Do any of you have these? If so, can you give me some pros/cons of them. Also, if anyone has ever adopted a dog, how was your experience, should I know anything beforehand? We already have a small dog (10-13 lbs) that sort of gets intimidated by larger dogs, but the more often she meets them, she warms up. I saw this guy on PetFinder and am awaiting an email/call back.

Why would you need to change your mac address to a random one?
Hello! I'm quite new to backtrack4 and linux, and I am trying to crack my WEP network - but I am collecting data packets FAR too slow. If somone could tell me what I am doing wrong, it would be very kind.
Here's what I did:
First, I changed my wireless card's mac address randomly. Then I started dumping to a file with airodump-ng (obviously, I specified the network's channel and BSSID). Then, while it was still dumping, I started various attacks, namely injection and fragmentation, and also FakeAuth. Whichever I tried, it made almost no difference in the number of packets coming in. It is very frustrating. After 15 minutes, I got about a 100 data packets. After 1 hour, I got a nice total of ZERO ARPs.
I tried an the injection test with aireplay, and it said it was working. 95%
At this rate, I would never crack it while I am still alive! And yet its supposed to be easy. I am very frustrated. Should I buy another wifi card and try it out? Thanks in advance!
Why would you need to change your mac address to a random one?
I didn't. I was following a guide, like I said I am quite new. Anyway, I was testing things out to see if it works... It said if your card doesnt support chaging the mac address then most probably it isnt supported. Well - I wanted to make it a point that it is capable of doing it.
So, to conclude, my card is "supported", and yet packet injection stays at 0pps (even though when I run the aireplay test it says it works), and packet collection is too slow.
Moreover, I cant use mon0, only wlan0. Does this have anything to do with it? airodump-ng mon0 doesn't work for me.
Do you know if I am doing something wrong? Ill post my card's name and the commands I when I get home.
Perhaps there isn't enough traffic. l assume this is your rig, so you'd be close enough.
l know your learning the command-line process, but have you tried the Gerix tool [in BT4] or Grimwepa [a tool like spoonwep - hosted here], just to see what they do.
A couple things:
1. What car are you using?
2. You will probably need to setup a fake-auth first, and then try to replay the packets. Were you able to successfully fake-auth? If you are and can't find any ARP packets, you will need some usage from an already connected client. Deauth that client, or use fragmentation or chop-chop and see what happens.
If you meant card :PWhat car are you using?
then I am using a RaLink2537 - rt73usb it's a cheap wifi card.

Thanks for your reply Jimmy, I tried those programs out, but personally, I prefer a CLI
I think I found out what was the problem,thanks to duracell....
While trying to authenticate, I was getting this:
aireplay-ng -1 0 -a <Mac address of AP> -h <mac address on allow list> -e <AP name(Bssid)> wlan0
Big problem for an intruder.Code:18:37:05 Sending Authentication Request (Open System) [ACK] 18:37:05 Authentication successful 18:37:05 Sending Association Request [ACK] 18:37:05 Got a deauthentication packet! (Waiting 3 seconds) !
Note: I am between the router and my other computer, which is downloading files. Also, I forgot to mention that I have MAC filtering on my router. I tried changing my mac using macchanger wlan0 --mac=<the mac> to a mac address that was on the "allow list" of my router - but the results didn't even change! I think it isn't being fooled by the macchanger...
Don't get mad if I said anything stupid
Once Mac filtering was removed from the router, the fake auth worked instantly. So it's definitely the problem.
Looks like there's no way to get around it! Anyone have any ideas?

Hey muts, any changes from the one you released at the con?
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

Slipknot's Corey Taylor robbed of $36K in musical equipment
Listen to Slipknot on iHeartRadio
Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor is still trying to recover thousands of dollars worth of musical equipment that was stolen while he was on tour in Europe over the past month.
According to the "Des Moines Register," the rocker reported a theft totaling more than $36,000 to West Des Moines police this past Sunday. Taylor reportedly told the cops he believes a friend stole the equipment, although no charges have been filed yet. Police say some of the missing gear has been recovered, but Taylor sent out a tweet Tuesday morning asking anyone with information on the theft to contact the West Des Moines PD.
He also thanked everyone for their concern, adding that he appreciates everything the Des Moines community is doing for him.
Thank you all for your concerns. I appreciate them and all that the Des Moines community is doing for me. If you have any info please (cont)— The Boogie Knight (@CoreyTaylorRock) July 9, 2013

We offer a guide to help the public and local officials further understand potential problems associated with previously mined areas.
These problems may be associated with both underground and surface mined sites and can result in serious damage to improvements.
Previously mined land may have many attractive features for development as residential, industrial and recreational sites.
Hidden dangers such as dangerous mine openings, unstable highwalls, and unpredictable ground movement have resulted in serious damages to improvements on these sites. Additional problems can result from subsidence, mine spoils, mine impoundments, and landslides.
The Indiana Division of Reclamation always suggests obtaining assistance from a qualified engineer for specific site evaluation before you buy or build on previously mined land. A list of resources is provided at the end of this booklet for additional information.

Casey Foothills
Number of bedrooms per dwelling
Dwellings with 4 bedrooms were the most common in Casey Foothills in 2011.
The Number of Bedrooms in a dwelling is an indicator of the size of dwellings, and when combined with Dwelling Type information, provides insight into the role Casey Foothills plays in the housing market. For example, an area of high density dwellings that are predominantly 1-2 bedroom are likely to attract students, single workers and young couples, whereas a high density area with dwellings that are predominantly 2-3 bedroom may attract more empty nesters and some families.
In combination with Household Type and Household Size, the Number of Bedrooms can also indicate issues around housing affordability, overcrowding and other socio-economic factors.
Derived from the Census question:
'How many bedrooms are there in this dwelling?'
Occupied private dwellings

Overall, 3.0% of households were in dwellings with 2 bedrooms or less, and 70.8% of 4 or more bedroom dwellings, compared with 8.0% and 39.8% for the City of Casey respectively.
The major differences between the number of bedrooms per dwelling of Casey Foothills and the City of Casey were:
- A larger percentage of 5 or more bedroom dwellings (21.2% compared to 5.4%)
- A larger percentage of 4 bedroom dwellings (49.6% compared to 34.4%)
- A smaller percentage of 3 bedroom dwellings (22.6% compared to 48.3%)

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by links18, Nov 29, 2012.
Hope not. We need them to lose here.
You thought I was taking a shot at you? It isn't just from you. I've been hearing this for 6 years. I just wanted to put it out there again that I think it's horse hockey.
Drew looked pretty sharp on that last drive.
Yep, that's what the completely unknowledgeable fans will say.
Plenty of times. I've even been told that Romo isn't really 6'2". He's actually 6'1". Seriously.
Brees isn't throwing to a hamstring injury and a dude who can't spell c-a-t.
I'm about 6'2" and have stood right next to him. Same height.
Even so, players heights and weights are always skewed somewhat right? That's not breaking news.
I was asking when someone (media, Cowboys players, etc.) have said that he's having trouble seeing over the OL. Never heard that before.
They won a playoff game last year. In 2009, they ranked 25th in team defense in YPG and 20th in PPG.
Fans, mostly on this board. Though, I have heard all manner of criticism about Romo in real life as well.
Amazing what offense looks like with blocking.
You can say that again.
Anyway, didn't mean to hijack the thread here.
Saints will probably win this one.
Dying laughing over here! Hilarious, but true.
The Falcons offense needs to find its ON switch.
The Saints defense isn't any better than the Cowboys. Why didn't the Cowboys have more success?
The Falcons are a 10-1 Joke
I just checked the score on espn and saw the Saints cut the lead to 17-13 and I was like let me turn to the game and Brees throws another INT
Terrible throw by Brees there...
Terrible for him. Good for us.
What's with the 'Vintage" thing?
Few minutes ago "That's vintage NO offense"
Now "That's vintage Rodney White catch"
everything vintage?
For those interested:
Here is the play that got Brees in the record books, breaking Unitas' old record.
They need to give Turner the ball on a draw play

School suspends 2 kids for using pencils as faux guns
(Billy Hallowell) The angst surrounding two seven-year-old students who were suspended for pointing pencils at one another and making gun sounds has led the Suffolk School Board in Suffolk, Va., to rethink its zero tolerance policy on firearms and weapons.
One of the kids, Christopher Marshall, claims that he was merely pretending to be his father, a former marine, when he used a pencil as a faux gun, WAVY-TV reports.
Now, under amended policies, so-called "ordinary objects" will no longer be considered weapons, meaning that the pencil, under the new policy, wouldn't be considered a threat.
Suffolk schools change weapons policy
Moving forward, under new rules, the school district will allow school principals to determine punishment on a special case-specific basis. Rather than a zero tolerance policy, officials will examine the punishment and the crime more in-depth, looking at student age, intention and the weapon being used in each instance.
Christopher's father, Paul, said that he and his family deserve an apology.
"The school board could have done the right thing, not just on paper like they did at the meeting last night, but they could have actually apologized, said 'hey you know it's unfortunate that it happened, but we're coming to you to say things will be changed to mitigate the problem in the future,'" he said in an interview with WAVY-TV.
The school board voted unanimously on the new provisions.

(Police at the scene initially claimed that the asthmatic, 350-pound Garner had suffered a heart attack).
She had earlier offered a terse description of how her asthmatic brother had come to die.
For example, I cannot imagine trying to treat a diabetic patient without insulin, or an asthmatic patient without bronchodilators.
The sunburned hacendados had the bodies of people who live outdoors, for even the asthmatic Count had been a stockman.
The organ is asthmatic and the wheezing gets on my gray matter.
His head was bowed, his shoulders heaved horribly, and from him came a sound like an asthmatic horse whinnying.
"That's truth enough," said an asthmatic voice from the backstairs.
He used to do it himself; but now that he is getting old, he does not like the trouble, and it makes him asthmatic.
He was short-breathed, asthmatic and possessed a tempestuous temper.
In fact, as my physician advises the inhalation of tobacco smoke for my asthmatic difficulties, I will join you.

Detroit • Toting his tiny aluminum bat, 5-year-old Gage Brookens wandered toward the cage and watched Austin Jackson, Omar Infante and a few other Tigers take batting practice on a chilly afternoon at Comerica Park.
Maybe that's what these slumping Detroit hitters need in this World Series. Metal bats, rather than their weak wood.
"Oh, I don't know if they'd allow that," kidded Gage's grandpop, Tigers first base coach Tom Brookens. "But the hitters definitely wouldn't mind."
Something better change for Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder and the Tigers real soon or their year is going to end real shortly. They totaled only three runs and 10 hits in San Francisco while falling into a 2-0 deficit against the Giants.
Game 3 is Saturday night, with Anibal Sanchez starting for Detroit against Ryan Vogelsong.
The Tigers are hoping that a switch in scenery the ivy hanging on the center-field backdrop at Comerica has turned to autumn colors since the AL championship series and a flip in pitchers might help. Throttled by left-handed starters Barry Zito and Madison Bumgarner at AT&T Park, the Tigers are eager to see a right-hander. Any right-hander, in fact: Detroit batted .275 against righties, .253 vs. lefties.
"Sometimes you can't explain it," Tigers catcher Alex Avila said before a workout Friday. "In our case, we've had trouble all year with left-handed pitching, which is strange because we have a lot of good hitters on the team."
"It'll be a nice change, obviously, to face a right-hander because we've had more success."
The Tigers will see Vogelsong, followed by fellow right-hander Matt Cain in Game 4.
"We've gone through spurts this whole season where we've thrown the ball like this as a staff," Vogelsong said. "We obviously had our downtime there in the middle of September and at the end of August."
"And we're just all kind of hitting our stride here at the same time. It's up to me and Matt now to keep it going over here in Detroit."
Tigers manager Jim Leyland plans to insert speedy rookie Quintin Berry and Andy Dirks in his outfield.
A few big hits would certainly energize the Tigers. So might a few breaks, they believe.
"The ball just hasn't rolled our way yet," Berry said. "They got a hit off the third-base bag. They had a bunt that wouldn't go foul. They made great catches in left field.
"But no excuses. We're back at home, this is our chance."
No mistaking that the series has shifted from California to Michigan.
In San Francisco, it was downright balmy in the 60s, and made for a pair of picture-perfect settings to play ball.
At Comerica, it was in the mid-40s and the lights were turned on while the Tigers worked out.
The forecast was for Game 3 was for temperatures to drop into the upper 30s in the later innings.
"We have got heaters in the dugout for both teams, obviously. Ours is going to be a little warmer than theirs, I think, tomorrow night," Leyland said. "But that's all right. We're not going to tell them that. I'm just kidding."

Report: Stones Strike Tour Deal With AEG Live
A Rolling Stones tour appears to be closer to fruition. Pollstar.com says the group has hammered out a deal with AEG Live to launch an 18-date arena tour throughout North America in May and June. The Stones were originally said to be working with tour promoter Paul Dainty and Virgin Music, which the band used to stage their shows in London, New York, and New Jersey last fall. The group will reportedly hit major markets on the tour, and play multiple nights in a number of cities. The Stones are expected to make an official tour announcement in early April.
The trek would mark the Stones' return to the road following a six-year hiatus. The band's last extended outing was their "A Bigger Bang" tour, a two-year run that began in August 2005 and came to a close in August 2007.

Wunderkind: A profile of Nikolai Fedak, the 23-year-old behind the website New York YIMBY, casts his as a battle between progress and preservationists. "In a city that is knee-deep in preservationists willing to do almost anything to keep new construction from erasing the past, it might seem surprising to find a young man who has made a career out of promoting the new," the story reads. Yet it is more often provincialism, not preservation, that inspires communities to organize against growth and in favor of such anti-urban policies as mandatory parking minimums.

Size & Fit Details
Girls' star crown headband
Girls' star crown headband is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Missmeliss from Your majesty... My little girl's current obsession is playing "pincess" with anything the resembles a crown. I tried to get her one for her birthday last year, but they were back ordered, so when this one was on promotion earlier this year, I grabbed it as a mid winter pick me up. The quality is wonderful! It sparkles and is comfortable (yes, i've had to wear it). Most importantly, it takes the beating that a toddler can put on it and still be worn (much to my chagrin) as headband for church on Easter. Top notch.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ctips from Gorgeous! This is a very well-made headband. I was surprised at how secure the beading is on it. As most kids items go, they don't last long. This, however, I think will last as long as my daughter will wear it. I purchased for a birthday party, but would be just as cute with a messy bun & shorts. After a few hours, it did give her a headache, but i think it will stretch a little over time. Glad I purchased it!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by parkbenchview from Vintage Charm You don't have to be a little girl to wear this lovely headband. I ordered the silver one for myself (there's a bit of gold coloring mixed in, giving it more dimension). Since most shoppers seem to buy it for their young daughters, I was worried that it might wind up being too tight on my head. Luckily, it fits perfectly (and I am not a small gal, by any means) & is ultra-comfortable. I'll be wearing this vintage-looking charmer to a 1930s black tie dinner dance. Why not? I'm still young at heart.
