FreeLink for the Kurobox Pro - Automatic Install
- 1 FreeLink (Debian)
- 2 What to do after FreeLink is installed
- 2.1 Login
- 2.2 Cleanup / Fixes
- 2.3 Update of the Debian repository and packages
- 2.4 Set your Locale
- 2.5 Static IP address
- 2.6 Customized Partitions
- 2.7 Webmin (webbased administration)
- 2.8 Updating your kernel (not always necessary)
- 2.9 Securing Your Linkstation
FreeLink (Debian)
The following procedure creates the following partition scheme, and untars a root file system onto p2 (/dev/sda2). Somehow it rewrites the uboot variables allowing a boot from the hard drive. Serial Console access can be used instead to change these uboot settings.
- p1 : /boot (16MB)
- p2 : /rootfs (3GB)
- p4 : extend (others)
- p5 : swap (128MB)
- p6 : /share (others)
- Use a virgin kurobox pro (ie : no system ever installed on it), if not you will have to change u-boot settings (require a serial console access) to set u-boot to boot on /dev/mtdblock2
- Attention "non-virgins": if you are using a hard disk which has already been used to set up either Freelink or the Kurobox linux distribution, you need to erase the previous data, not just delete the partitions with fdisk: if leftover remnants of the previous installation are there, they may reappear when the identical partitions are recreated, and prevent the new installation from proceeding. It's not clear how thoroughly the old data must be erased: if you have this problem, overwrite the the older data with zeros (empty space too). You have a couple of choices here: {Note ... that either of these methods are best done on another box. (HINT: boot off of a DVD-ROM Ubuntu Distro (or similar) ... and have the drive to be reformatted connected to an open SATA port)}
- One is 'shred' which will allow for multiple re-writes and is used for secure disk wipes. Shred can literally take days on a large terabyte size drive.
- The other method is to use a command like cat /dev/zeros > /dev/sda1 for each partition. If a partition was formally a swap and you have i/o errors performing the zero fill, then simply delete the offending partitions, recombine them, and issue the cat /dev/zero fill on the new partion. Once this is complete you now have a drive filled with 'zeros', and this takes only hours as opposed to days with 'shred'.
- Connect up the blank unformatted hard drive and power on
- Access the Samba share on the kurobox named mtd_device
- Download the FreeLink zip archive: http://downloads.nas-central.org/LSPro_ARM9/Distributions/Freelink/FreeLink_arm9-1.0rev2.zip
- Unzip it and find the hddrootfs.img file
- Rename it to have the .zip extension
- Unzip this file with the following password:
- Rename the resultant file to hddrootfs.tar.gz and copy it over to the Samba Share
- Copy over these files to the samba share from the provided CD-ROM
- Press the red init button on the back till it beeps
- The Info LED will flash and the drive will be partitioned and FreeLink Installed.
- Reboot and use ssh to login to your newly FreeLinked KuroBox Pro with login:root and password:lspro
- You will now need to change a line in the the /usr/local/sbin/kernelmon script: "cat /proc/driver/kernevnt" to "cat /proc/buffalo/kernevnt"
- if you use the console on the serial port, you need to change the permissions on /etc/securetty so it is not world-writable (chmod 0744 /etc/securetty) ; until you do this, root logins on the serial console will not be permitted.
- Format the swap partition (otherwise you won't have any swap memory) using the mkswap command
- Remember to change the /etc/fstab to reflect the location of linux swapand the share. Also remove the ,acl from the xfs declaration. My /etc/fstab looks like this after update:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=20 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs size=10M,mode=1777 0 0 /dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda4 /mnt/disk1 xfs defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 0
What to do after FreeLink is installed
Now that your LinkStation has successfully rebooted, there are some further tasks to do.
Find your LinkStation on the network and open up an SSH session to it. In windows PuTTY is a good client
- login:root
- password: lspro
- login:admin
- password: admin
Please NOTE that if the linkstation re-starts itself 3 times then it goes into EM mode
and therefore you will need to re-start it again before you can proceed. otherwise you may think that the process hasnt worked.
You should then see the following welcome screen:

LinkStation series LS-GL(IESADA) admin@LS-GL7D6:~$
Cleanup / Fixes
Unfortunately there are some small issues with the ARM9-1.0rev2 release, but these are easy to fix. Some of the following changes are mandatory and are marked accordingly.
Don't forget to check out the Debian articles.
Emergency backdoor
For safety and also to provide a 'back-door' entry in the event of a problem, edit the file /usr/local/bin/initsw.sh and add the following lines to the file:
rm -f /etc/hddrootmode rm -f /boot/hddrootmode reboot
Fix hostname and /etc/hosts (mandatory)
Edit /etc/hostname to set your LinkStation Hostname, and make sure /etc/hosts is correct. The default Buffalo hostnames are LS-GLXXX (Pro) or HS-DHGLXXX (Live) where XXX are the last three characters of the MAC address (LS-GL7D6 is the default hostname of the system the FreeLink distribution was developed on). You will find the MAC address on a label on the bottom of the LinkStation.
You must also make sure that /etc/hosts contains the alias "localhost" for 127.0.0.1, i.e., a line:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost $HOSTNAME
where $HOSTNAME is what you put in /etc/hostname (if the alias localhost is missing, the scripts /etc/init.d/kernel-server-nfs and /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd will not work properly, because they call rpcinfo -u localhost .... . A consequence is that nfs v3 gets disabled, and you unexpectedly only get nfs v2 which has limits on file sizes when files are transferred.)
See the Debian Manual for more details about /etc/hostname (e.g. domain is set via /etc/resolv.conf).
Activating your changed hostname without rebooting:
hostname --file /etc/hostname
Allow root login on serial console (if you use it)
root login on console is blocked if /etc/securetty is world-writable
chmod 0744 /etc/securetty
Fix kernelmon script (mandatory check)
There can be an issue with the kernelmon script, that may cause a significant amount of system resources being used and/or having a non-working shutdown button.
This issue mostly occurs when using a newer Linux kernel from Buffalo (e.g from 2.10 Stock FW).
To find out if the kernelmon script is eating up your NAS performance, call "top" and check if the kernelmon script is always at the top of the list with a high CPU load. Normally the script has a CPU usage of 0%.
To determine whether you can fix it, compare the output of "ls /proc/buffalo" and "ls /proc/driver".
If the subdirectory kernevnt is in /proc/buffalo, make this change; if it is in /proc/driver, do not. (Without it, things like the shutdown button might not work.)
This is to ensure that the micon interrupt device is pointing to the correct location in the /proc virtual filesystem that is created by the kernel when it is running.
To fix the script do the following:
- look in the file /usr/local/sbin/kernelmon script: find a line containing "cat /proc/driver/kernevnt", and change it to "cat /proc/buffalo/kernevnt".
The 18.104.22.168 buffalo kernel (the 2.06 LSLIVE firmware and the Freelink-supplied kernel) uses /proc/driver/kernevent while the 220.127.116.11 kernel (the 2.10 LSLIVE firmware) uses /proc/buffalo/kernevent
- if you needed to make this change, reboot your NAS for the change to take effect
Setting timezone (mandatory check)
To get the correct times for your files and schedules you have to set the correct timezone for the system and the users.
a) for the system in general
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata # otherwise use tzconfig, which is deprecated
b) for the user (e.g. root, admin, etc.)
tzselect # then copy/add the given line to the user's .profile in his home directory (e.g. TZ='Europe/Berlin'; export TZ) # if .profile is not available for the user, then just create it (check permissions afterwards)
c) UTC check
grep -e 'UTC' /etc/default/rcS
It should say "UTC=yes" which is the default for Linux/Unix.
Only reason to set it to "UTC=no" is if your machine is running Linux/Unix and a non-UTC-based system (non-UTC-based = local time based). For instance Windows defaults to local time rather than UTC. So if you either use these systems separately side-by-side or via a virtual machine (e.g. Debian on Windows), then "UTC=no" will help having the correct time in both systems.
Update of the Debian repository and packages
You can update your system with APT.
It is recommended, even by the Debian maintainers, to use APTITUDE instead of APT-GET, as it keeps track of automatically installed packages and does smarter and safer decisions when upgrading to a new release. Keep in mind that whenever you are told to use apt-get for maintaining packages, that you replace it with aptitude.
Note as the current UDEV package requires a higher kernel than the 22.214.171.124 kernel of Freelink ARM9 1.0rev2, the UDEV package should not be updated. Therefore hold the current UDEV package back, to avoid upgrades of it.
Holding back for aptitude:
aptitude hold udev
Another way is dselect of the dpkg-package
echo -e "udev hold" | dpkg --set-selections # When updating you HAVE to use # apt-get dselect-upgrade # aptitude dselect-upgrade
A third way would be to pin it via apt.
To get the latest versions of your installed software, first update the package list and then upgrade the packages.
As there are some scripts as left overs from the hotplug package inside the Freelink image, just purge the hotplug package before upgrading. (Maybe when the Freelink image was build the hotplug package was only removed and not purged.)
aptitude update aptitude purge hotplug aptitude upgrade (or aptitude dselect-upgrade if you choosed dselect)
If the internet connection does not work, please check your /etc/resolv.conf and your network settings in /etc/network
If the debian server hangs, you may need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to change the server, for example from "ftp.uk.debian.org" to "ftp.us.debian.org"
If you did a fresh install of Freelink ARM9-1.0rev2 you will get the following error message when updating via apt:
W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs: B5D0C804ADB11277 W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
Then you have to retrieve the public key from the pgp server with this command
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys B5D0C804ADB11277
If your behind a firewall, but can access the internet via port 80
gpg --fetch-keys "http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de/pks/lookup?op=get&options=mr&search=0xB5D0C804ADB11277"
Next add it permanently to your root keyring with
apt-key add /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
You should get an OK message, next retry to update.
To speed up the process of checking for updated packages, you can easily update apt's repository list with a cron job, which is already prepared by Debian. Just add the following lines to /etc/apt/apt.conf, then your NAS will update the list every morning and you can directly use the upgrade command.
APT { // Options for /etc/cron.daily/apt Periodic { // same as defining APT::Periodic::xyz Update-Package-Lists 1 ; Download-Upgradeable-Packages 1 ; Autoclean 1 ; }; };
If the file /etc/apt/apt.conf does not exist, then just create it via the following command and add the lines from above.
touch /etc/apt/apt.conf
To undo the holding of UDEV use
aptitude unhold udev
or for dpkg's dselect
echo -e "udev install" | dpkg --set-selections
Set your Locale
You may notice when installing from apt or in other situations that there are some errors about not having the correct locale.
You can fix this with
aptitude install locales
This will give you a few choices on what to set for your default locale.
Static IP address
You can set up a static IP address instead of DHCP. This is done by editing /etc/network/interfaces.
If you also want to state your local DNS server (e.g. your router) and local domain, then you can not directly modify /etc/resolv.conf, as Freelink 1.0rev2 comes with the resolvconf package installed. Instead you have to define all DNS data in /etc/network/interfaces for each interface.
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 #iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.100 network 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1 dns-domain lan
NOTE: Do not blindly copy these lines into your file, rather choose the correct IP address and additional information based on your local network settings. If you don't know what these are, then don't modify this file.
To activate your changes without rebooting:
invoke-rc.d networking restart
To see that the change of the domain has occured:
hostname -f
For more information about DNS settings via resolvconf see the README file:
zcat /usr/share/doc/resolvconf/README.gz
Customized Partitions
You may not have enough space to install all the Applications you want to. If you have customised partitions, you will have enough space to install other applications (like webmin) Here you can see, how to do this:
Webmin (webbased administration)
Look here for instructions on how to install webmin:
You can reach Webmin via:
Updating your kernel (not always necessary)
For users who want to prepare the Linkstation for an updated kernel:
Securing Your Linkstation
Limit and/or remove the "guest" account
Note that the Guest account is a common attack point. This account can be used for system testing, but can be compromised due to default password in a Debian install. Further the Guest account by default in Debian 2.6 is capable of executing BASH scripts allowing system reconfiguration.
You can simply lock the Guest account ...
passwd guest -l
Change and protect your passwords
Anyone who can see your NAS on the network can of-course log into it as the root user (=full control!) with the default password, and make it their own.
Therefore change the passwords for the users root and admin using (as root):
passwd passwd admin
Please do not use the same password for both accounts.
As /etc/passwd and /etc/group must be world-readable the passwords in them can be read and cracked. Therefore it is recommended to turn on shadow passwords, so only user root can see the encrypted passwords.
pwconv (for user passwords) grpconv (for group passwords)
You should avoid group passwords, as those shared passwords are a typical security breach.
It is just as important to change the ssh server keys (see section below).
Limit which users and IPs can have access to SSH and su/sudo
If you don't want the trouble of using a ssh key pair (see below) then limit the range of IP and users that can have ssh access vis the sshd configuration file /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
Before your box has an active ssh port open to the internet, initially it is recommended that you basically shut off root access and only allow access via su or sudo for given users. This makes access to the box narrow and root execution via two passwords, via ssh and then su/sudo.
You can add the following line to /etc/ssh/sshd_config to disable root ssh access.
PermitRootLogin no
... and then restrict access to su via execution access of /bin/su.
For sudo - you can restrict user execution access via the sudo configuration file /etc/sudoers.
Create Unique SSH server keys for your machine
Due to the way that Freelink is currently installed, you will be using the ssh server keys that are distributed with the freelink archive. As these are publicly available, unless you change these, then your Linkstation will be vulnerable to both "Man-In-The-Middle" attacks - whereby someone impersonates your machine, and passes data along to the real machine (recording, and potentially altering data as they do so), and eaves-dropping (whereby they can decode the encrypted ssh data, as long as they can read the data that is being exchanged between the linkstation, and the machine which they are logging in from).
rm /etc/ssh/*host*key* dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
Whereupon you should see:
Creating SSH2 RSA key; this may take some time ... Creating SSH2 DSA key; this may take some time ... Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd.
After this is finished, you can log out, and log back in again. When you try to, you will see a message like:
$ ssh root@linkstation @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)! It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed. The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is e2:74:96:43:fd:21:57:9e:94:ca:fa:8b:64:05:0c:23. Please contact your system administrator. Add correct host key in /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message. Offending key in /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts:56 RSA host key for linkstation has changed and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed.
You are seeing this message because you have changed the host key (if someone really was doing a man-in-the-middle attack with the old key, you wouldn't see this message, as they would have the correct key to not-trigger the error report). Remove the old key from your ssh known_hosts file (in this case line 56 of /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts), and log in again... This time it should proceed as normal.
Your Linkstation is now secure - ideally, you should not have placed the Linkstation on an untrusted network before you reach this stage.

Two second half rallies evaporate in loss
The Taft varsity girls basketball team ended their stretch of home games on a sour note following a 41-37 loss to the Wasco Tigers Wednesday night.
Wasco scored the first basket of the game but Taft answered with the next nine. The Lady Tigers woke their offense up in the final 1:58 of the quarter with a three free throws.
The Lady Tigers fed off that mini comeback in the second quarter by scoring 15 points while Taft was held to four. Despite the point difference, the Lady Wildcats hung with Wasco until late in the quarter when the Lady Tigers went on a 7-0 run thanks in part to a three-pointer to lead 20-13 at the halftime break.
Taft caught fire in the the first minute of the third quarter with Kennedy Kunce scoring four of the six points. The Lady Wildcats followed up with two free throws to cut the advantage to one at 20-19.
After Wasco extended the lead to six, the Lady Wildcats bounced back to take a 27-25 lead. However, the Lady Wildcats were held to two points the rest of the quarter. In the meantime, Wasco took over the lead at 30-29.
Like the fourth quarter, Taft came alive by taking over the lead at 36-30 58 seconds into the fourth. Taft was held to one point the rest of the way while the Lady Tigers came back to win by four.

Below are some tidbits on baseball and sportscard collecting.
Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
Like all collectibles, some sports cards increase in value and a few can become very valuable. Determining a card's value is based on a number of factors including the popularity of the player, the card's scarcity, it's condition, and demand among collectors. A card can be scarce but if there's no demand for it, it's value may not be to great.
Q: What are some of the ways to collect cards ? There are several different ways to collect cards. For example, you can try to collect all the cards in a given set. Or you can focus on cards of your favorite team or even just your favorite player.
Some people only collect Rookie cards while others only collect cards of Hall-of-Famers. Because of the high cost of vintage sports cards today a growingly popular way to collect sportscards is "Type Collecting".
"Type Collecting" is collecting just one of each "type" (or different issue) made. To keep costs down, on some of the scarcer more expensive issues you can simply add a less expensive "common" to your collection. While on more common or recent issues you can select your favorite player or a card from your favorite team.
No matter how you collect - the key is to have fun !

1971 O-Pee-Chee BaseballAlso referred to as OPC or Topps Canada, most vintage OPC sets were near replicas of the Topps cards from that year. Exactly same in design they usually only differed with the addition of French to the backs and some fronts.
To the benefit of collector's OPC made several changes in their 1971 set. The most obvious and useful was a complete redesign of the card backs and the addition of another player photo ! Additionly, over 20 cards were changed including the inclusion of what could be considered the first "Traded" cards. Another difference: Topps cards #202 and #289 were changed to allow the addition of 2 more Expos to the set.
The 1971 OPC set is legendary for its short print run, estimated at perhaps just 5% of Topps' Production. This issue is considered quite elusive, even in Canada.

Tomorrow, Microsoft will release all 6 versions of Windows Vista; some of us will rush out to buy themselves a copy, some of us will, like, not do that. OSNews will be bombarded with Vista related articles until old CRT monitors will have faint imprints of the word 'Vista' scattered across their tubes. So, to start the whole barrage of Vista articles off, here is a promotional video of Windows 386, released in the late 80s. This video is nothing short of brilliant. I suggest you make yourself a nice, warm tea (or coffee, if it's morning) and sit back to enjoy the wonders of multitasking, the 'just like OS/2' interface, the 80s music, and, lest I forget, the fashion in spectacles. Update: I am currently watching the 1982 classic The Thing, and there's a character in there named 'Windows'. Coincidence? I think not!

Quote: "Satanism, as a philosophy, can be potentially taken and learned from by a large percentage of the population, but this does not make one a Satanist, but perchance Satanic. Qualities such as cowardice, insecurity, self-loathing, drug addiction, stupidity, constant life failures, unconditional niceness, and lack of direction (and, believe me, there are MANY more) are clear indicators that the person in question and the title of Satanist are NOT compatible. For such a person, Satanism isn't a direct reflection of one's core (as it is with Satanists), it can only be a human improvement program at best, which is valid. This is one distinction that many, be they Satanic hopeful or earnest researcher, would be better off to recognize."- Rev. Matt G Paradise's Satanism FAQ
Quote:Or is this question simply in the spirit of questioning all things?
Quote:So you are saying one proves one's worth to the CoS through POSTING on LttD? Interesting. Sounds like "online Satanism" to me, if that is the case.

Ag banquet brings focus on agriculture awareness to public
The 29th Annual Agriculture Appreciation Banquet brought focus to local farmers, agriculture producers and students pursuing agriculture degrees. The banquet also also shed light on agriculture awareness.
This year was no exception as the Boonville High School Commons was filled Tuesday evening with local individuals who have spent their entire life in agriculture. The banquet's keynote speaker of the night included resident Matt Boatright, who was the former Deputy Director of the Missouri Department of Agriculture. Boatright focused his discussion on the importance of bringing agriculture education to the general public. These words were echoed by Boonville Area Chamber of Commerce Board President Craig Meyer.
"Since we are such an agriculture based community we need to be ambassadors to those communities who do not know as much as we do," Meyer said.
Meyer also said awareness within the community has grown considerably in the past couple of years especially with the Farmer's Pick Buffet at the Isle of Capri Casino Buffet, which purchases all of their produce from locally owned farms. He also said there are people, especially small children who do not know where fresh produce comes from, including eggs as an example.
The AFA Scholarship was awarded to three students in the community. These students included Kathryn Rodman, Jack Lang and Kendra Stinson. The AFA Scholarship is given each year and awarded to students pursuing fields in agriculture.
"I am very proud of the three individuals who were chosen. It was very tough to choose since all eight candidates were very strong," Reynolds said.
AFA Scholarship Co-Chairs Lance Reynolds and Marty James send out applications in December to schools within Cooper County. Once applications are returned the students are then called in for an interview. Other crucial points include writing a 300-500 word essay on the future of agriculture. Reynolds said choosing the three individuals is also based on community involvement and accomplishments. Reynolds said they have the money to give to three students annually because of the large support they get within the community including a match from the AFA as well. The scholarship includes $4,200 with $3,200 being used for academics.
Other awards included the Service to Agriculture Award, which was given to Gordon Shay. The Woman in Agriculture Award was given to Barbara Twenter. The Production Agriculture Award was given to Cloverleaf Farms. Special Recognition was given to the Isle of Capri Farmer's Pick Buffet. The winner of the SWCD Conservation Farmer was given to Bob Widel. Other highlights of the night included the grade school poster winners and a conservation update from the Cooper County University Extension Office by Todd Lorenz.
Fourth grade poster contest winners included Marina Firman, Celsey Wood, Amanda Newbold, Julianne Brumagen and Jordan Birk. Fifth grade poster contest winners included Clint Moore, Ashlya Twenter, Carson Dee, Josie Johnson, and Bekah Taylor. Sixth grade winners included Baily Brimer and Georgia Wright.

HAMPTON TWP — A 28-year-old Saxonburg native was killed this morning following a multiple vehicle and school bus crash in Hampton Township.
John Krauland Jr., of Gibsonia was a 2003 graduate of Knoch High School and a later graduate of Slippery Rock University.
During his Knoch days, he was an All-Conference football player.
"I'm just shocked, and we're all shocked to hear this news," said Mike King, Knoch football coach and athletic director. "He was a kid that loved life and was very true to himself in everything that he did. I just feel really bad for the family, and I'm thinking of them right now."
He also worked for the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh. Bishop David Zubik is making a statement regarding his tragic death this afternoon. A prayer service is also being held for him and his family at the Diocese office today.
Police report that Krauland was stopped at a red light on East Hardies Road at Route 8 when a school bus that was turning onto East Hardies was hit by a pickup and pushed onto Krauland's car.

Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
(part 4)
Test Issue - a preliminary offering issued as a test to see if a product would be accepted by collectors.
Tobacco Card - typically from the early 1900s, these were cards issued with tobacco products. The most famous of which is the "T-206" Honus Wagner card.
Traded/Update Set - a set issued after the original issue primarily featuring rookies or players who were traded since the original issue came out.
Trimmed Card - a card reduced in size from when it was issued, usually to hide an imperfection such as damaged edges or corners. Trimmed cards usually have very little value but in some cases such as the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, even trimmed cards can go for thousands of dollars. The most famous 'trimmed' card to date is the T206 Honus Wagner purchased by Wayne Gretzky. The card was actually too large and was trimmed down to it's proper size.
Unauthorized Issue - a card release which is not licensed by a league, a player's association, or by a player.
Variation - a card that was printed by the manufacturer in two or more different ways.
Wax - a universal collecting term for factory-sealed packs or boxes. The term "wax" most often refers to sealed material that was originally released in the early 1990's or back -- a time when packs were wrapped and sealed in wax paper wrappers. It can casually reference modern era packs or boxes that no longer use actual wax paper.
1967 Topps WHO AM I ?NM/MINT to MINT COMPLETE 1976 Crane Potato Chip Football Discs Set.
It's easy to see why the 1967 Topps "Who Am I? set is a favorite of both sports and non- sport collectors. The set's 44 cards feature mostly important figures from world history but what makes this set even more popular was the inclusion of 4 of baseball's most popular players: Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax !!!
The players picture on the front is covered with a scratch-off disguise with silly, exaggerated features like hair, moustaches, hats, noses... and clues to help kids identify the famous person pictured. The backs contained additional clues and instructions to "Scratch off disguise on front to discover Who I Am. Use a coin or fingernail."
Cards with their scratch-off coating intact are worth many, many times cards with the coatings removed. For example, NM/MINT Babe Ruth with the coating is in the $200-$400 range while a NM/MINT Ruth with the coating removed is closer to $25.

1967 Topps Who Am I? checklist and prices
1964 Topps Stand-UpsTopps most popular 1960's test issue !!!
Blank-backed and unnumbered, these standard size cards were called "Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around the player's picture. The background section then could be folded in half, so the card could stand up by itself while the player's picture stood alone. Directions for folding are on the background and when folded only the green background remains. 1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular standup issues.
Thanks to the green and yellow borders and the likelihood that most cards have been heavily folded, 1964 Stand-Ups are extremely difficult to obtain in top grades.
The 77 card set features color photographs of the player on yellow and green backgrounds. 22 of the 77 cards were single printed making them twice as scarce and much higher in demand.
The set is packed with Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and more !!!

You've been hearing about it for decades. Equipping all students with computers has long been a holy grail for classrooms around the world, but it just hasn't happened. Sure, many classrooms have a computer, but most students still read out of textbooks, write with pencils on paper, and take notes off of a chalkboard. But there are signs that change is afoot. The rise of touch tablets has triggered a land grab in schools all around the country. Education officials with money to spend are overwhelmingly opting for tablets over PCs, and all of the major players in the tech industry – from Apple to Amazon, and even Microsoft – are gearing up for a fight.
Touch tablets offer a cheap, and more intuitive alternative to laptops and desktop PCs. They also dispense with the need to carry around bags full of books. Tablets may be the next big thing in education, and everyone wants in.
The stage is set
The integration of technology into the classroom has been slow so far, but things are changing. Adoption of tablets and has already taken off in higher education, and is beginning to filter all the way down to kindergarten classrooms. Here are some key trends.
- IT spending is up: The Center for Digital Education estimated education spending on IT reached $19.7 billion in 2010-11 and it's expected to rise again in 2011-12. Despite school budget cuts, officials are spending more money on tech than ever before. Traditional educational publishers are devoting more attention and budget to the digital world and tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon are trying to push their devices into schools.
- Hardware spending is up: According to an Education Technology Market Watch report, there's a clear move to channel funding into technology and the bulk of that spending (55 to 60 percent) in middle schools (K12) is on hardware.
- Digital textbooks taking off: Project Tomorrow reports that 27 percent of middle school and 35 percent of high school students use digital textbooks. On top of that, the Pearson Foundation reports that 58 percent of college students prefer a digital format for textbooks. Tablets and e-readers are the ideal windows for that content.
- iPad tests: In McAllen, Texas, public school officials have opted for iPads over desktop PCs and plan to distribute 25,000 iPads over the next few years. The total spend of $20 million in the McAllen district covers the cost of the iPads and also the Wi-Fi network and training needed to support their use. The program includes iPads for third grade and upwards and iPods for pre-kindergarten up to second grade. San Diego distributed 26,000 iPads to students this year and Chicago public schools have around 20,000 iPads.
- Worldwide adoption: Further afield in Scotland, the government recently announced plans to spend £60 million ($95 million) on tablets for universities, colleges, and schools. It's fast becoming a worldwide trend.
- Bring Your Own Tablet: There is also a mirroring of the BYOD trend which is sweeping through the business world. Many students will soon have their own tablets or smartphones and will choose to use them for school work. Some educational establishments are looking at voucher systems to enable students to buy their own devices. Budgets in education are always tight and so any solution that can help reduce the cost is bound to be explored. If students were expected to bring their own devices, then those with parents who can't afford tablets could be equipped from a smaller school-owned pool of devices.
- Promising case studies: A Learning Untethered case study offers a valuable insight into the pros and cons of tablet implementation in the classroom. The project involved equipping a 5th grade class of 27 students with 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab devices at a cost of around $200 per student. Though there were a number of technical issues the results were overwhelmingly positive with greater student engagement.
Contenders for the top classroom tablet
The numbers are beginning to add up and it's looking like tablets are going to become commonplace in schools – but which tablets will win? Will Apple's lead with the iPad push it into a lasting position of dominance in the classroom, or will new competitors like the Nook, Kindle, and even Microsoft Surface make a sizable dent in Apple's plans? Let's take a look at how some of the best options compare on price, usability, and ecosystem.
Apple's iPad
In an investor call this summer, Apple CEO Tim Cook said "Education tends to be a conservative institution, but we're not seeing that at all on the iPad." He went on to explain that "The adoption of the iPad in education is something I've never seen in any technology."
That came on the back of the revelation that Apple had sold almost one million iPads to high schools and colleges in that quarter alone. The company has made a concerted push to interest the education market and the attempt to offer digital school textbooks with iBooks 2 and iTunes U was a big part of that.
Obvious drawbacks to the iPad are the price and the closed nature of Apple's ecosystem. On the other hand, there are a lot of high quality educational apps, and the iPad is easy to use. The cost could be reduced by investing in older generation iPads or even considering the new iPad Mini.
Apple got a head start in the tablet market with the iPad and the education sector is no different. Whether it can maintain that lead remains to be seen.
Amazon's Kindle
Competition in the education market is set to increase in the coming year and Amazon wants in. The online retailer has been selling Kindle devices to U.S. schools at bulk discounts. Considering they are already break-even devices with relatively low price tags, that cost saving could be a huge incentive for schools and colleges.
Kindle trials have been running in more than one hundred schools in Florida and Texas. The basic Kindle e-readers are being used as an alternative to heavy bags full of books, but Amazon is also looking to push the Kindle Fire tablets. The Whispercast service allows educators to easily manage fleets of Kindle devices, and the ability for teachers to restrict access and set limits could be a real selling point for Amazon's tablets.
Barnes & Noble's Nook
The bookseller Barnes & Noble is just as serious as Amazon when it comes to catering for education and its line of Nook e-readers and tablets are very similar to the Kindle range in terms of functionality and price. Barnes & Noble also offers discounts tailored services for educators, customized school accessories, and charging carts designed for classrooms.
Nook trials have been undertaken in a Colorado high school and Chicago Public Schools also purchased some Nook readers.
Of course, the closed eco-system argument about Apple also applies to Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
Google's Nexus 7 and other Android tablets
Whether it's the Nexus 7 from Google, a Samsung Galaxy Tab, or another open Android tablet, there are some cost-effective options out there. You can get a relatively powerful 10.1-inch Android tablet for a few hundred dollars and the Google Play Store offers a decent range of educational apps. Ambitious educators and school systems could also develop their own apps and integrate directly into school services more easily than they could with an iPad.
Imposing restrictions on what students can do with open Android tablets will be an obvious concern, but there are fleet management options out there that offer educators more customization options than closed ecosystem devices like the Nook, Kindle, or iPad.
Microsoft Surface
The Microsoft Surface may be the new kid on the block, but it has some clear advantages over the competition. Its detachable keyboard covers solve the typing issue present with standard touch tablets. Touchscreens are best for consumption, but students need to learn typing skills and they need to be able to actually work on their tablets. In a recent interview, Bill Gates reiterated this point. When asked about tablets in higher education, he pointed out that, "Just giving people devices has a really horrible track record. You really have to change the curriculum and the teacher." He also went on to say that, "…it's never going to work on a device where you don't have a keyboard-type input. Students aren't there just to read things. They're actually supposed to be able to write and communicate. And so it's going to be more in the PC realm – it's going to be a low-cost PC that lets them be highly interactive." Perhaps he's alluding to an education push from Microsoft?
There's also the native support for Microsoft's Office suite of software, which is still the standard in most workplaces and educational establishments around the world. Familiarity shouldn't be underestimated as a potential draw. Windows is found everywhere and that doesn't look likely to change in the near future.
The Surface also offers great enterprise management solutions and security that will work well for schools. Microsoft is much more experienced when it comes to fleet management; many schools may see it as a safe pair of hands when compared to Android.
Price will be an issue, but the Surface is a more well-rounded device than the iPad, so we won't be surprised if it is able to muscle into the education market.
Are we getting ahead of ourselves?
Are tablets really the answer for education? We think so, but the truth is that touch devices are so popular right now that they're being touted as the answer to everything. A few years back, before tablets burst onto the scene, there was a push to equip students with netbooks, but it was met with mixed results. Having an entire school filled with tablet-equipped students has obvious benefits, but cost and device management are serious hurdles to overcome.
We'd love to hear your opinions on this. If you're a student using a tablet or e-reader for your studies or an educator with experience of employing tablets in the classroom then please weigh in. Are tablets the future of education? Which device would get your recommendation? Post a comment.

non-sport cards and card collecting.
(part 1)
Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in 1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny.
The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets.
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!! The set even contains seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield and Dave Parker.

1962 Topps Baseball BucksAnother Hit Topps Test Issue from the 1960's !!!
The 1962 Topps Bucks were one of Topps most creative Test Issues. Each "Buck" resembled U.S. currency and measured 1 3/4" x 4 1/8" but instead of George Washington staring at you, it could be Mickey Mantle !!! A drawing of the player's home park along with a brief write-up also appeared on the front. The backs included team and league logos.
The 1962 Topps Bucks test issue was sold in it's own 1 cent wax packs and was not an insert in 1962 Topps wax packs. Most examples exist with a fold line but it should not be overly noticeable. Player selection was great as the set is packed with numerous Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Stan Musial, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron and more !!!

Ready for a festive luncheon or dinner, this orange and blue setting is lively yet sophisticated. Alternating bands of pattern and careful layering give the plates a rich, multi-dimensional look. Stemware, chair backs, even the fresh-cut centerpiece repeat and echo the dual color theme creating a unified, almost rhythmic flow. Off white cutlery handles and a single ivory plate at each setting give contrast and add a light, airiness. Whimsical place card holders replicate the actual chairs in miniature.
Think summer patios and fiestas year round. Mexican blue glassware sits atop wicker placemats giving an immediate casual, fun-loving ambiance. Rattan chairs have no hesitation snuggling up against an antique, dark-stained table from another era and another land. Orange tiger lilies add visual drama and perfume the air with their distinctive fragrance.
A luscious blend of brown and metals give this place setting a glimmering formality. But make no mistake, there's no stuffiness here. Chinaware has a casual, country pattern with each setting accented by a fresh apple or pear. Delicate napkins seem to float like the wings of fairies who have merely paused to light on the amber of the wine glasses. A square, glass dinner plate adds texture to each setting without adding visual weight.

Americans contemplating retirement can almost despair seeing how Social Security's fuse may be two years shorter than official estimates and is in need of shoring up at precisely the time when political paralysis in our nation's capital has grown ever more entrenched.
And yet, stepping back and seeing beyond the maelstrom of partisan clashes in Washington, one can look at the experience of retirement income systems overseas for possible solutions, or at least benchmarks, that may help us solve our own seemingly intractable problems.
To that end, AdvisorOne spoke with Wharton professor and Pension Research Council executive director Olivia Mitchell, one of the foremost authorities on U.S. and international private and social insurance.
AdvisorOne: Are there other retirement systems that policymakers should be more familiar with?
Olivia Mitchell: The Australian one is of particular interest to me because it is mandatory. When it was put into place, they said it would be a good idea to establish a 12% contribution rate, but they put it at 9%. But the 12% rate will be phased in fully by 2020.
In the U.S., 3% or 4% is a more typical workplace rate. We should revisit the question of how much we should be contributing. The Chileans have had a mandatory contribution rate of 10%. I tell my students and adult daughters they should be contributing 20% of their income for three reasons: Longevity is increasing, returns are not as strong anymore, and we're going to need a lot of money in retirement.
This notion that you can get by on 3% or 4% is very misleading. So the lesson from these countries is, yes, we should be contributing more.
AdvisorOne: With the Social Security insolvency looming, is there a reason not to pursue high, mandatory contributions?
Olivia Mitchell: In the U.S., there are social safety net programs like SSI for those who are destitute in old age, or Medicaid for those who run out of money and need to go to a nursing home.
The question does come up: How much should we be encouraging or mandating low-wage workers to save when there are so many benefits they [stand to lose] in old age?
Many of these folks don't have the ability to save. And if they were forced to do so, they wouldn't be able to pay their bills.
In the U.S., if you do save, then you may be less likely to get the Medicaid benefits; you'll be asked to pay a higher Medicare premium.
AdvisorOne: Does Australia's experience with means testing hold lessons for the U.S.?
Olivia Mitchell: Australia's Age Pension scheme [its Social Security equivalent—eds.] is a means-tested benefit program such that if you have too much income or too much assets, you don't get this benefit.
It becomes an issue when you get to be retirement age and you decide whether you want to take Superannuation [Australia's workplace-based retirement account] benefits as a lump sum or payout scheme.
You can take the money as young as 55 and take it in a lump sum. So a couple may take their trip around world at 55, and then at 65 they're entitled and take their age pension, their means-tested bit. The problem is that taking a lump sum may increase the possibility that people spend down their assets.
The Australian system is good with the accumulation phase. Like the U.S., I think they still need to contemplate how to better structure the payout phase.
In the U.S., people quite high up the income scale dispose of [their] assets and rely on the generosity of the taxpayer [to qualify for Medicaid nursing home care].
The tension is inevitable between wanting to provide for the old and poor and wanting to provide incentives to save.
AdvisorOne: Is there an example of a country that is more successful at encouraging saving?
Olivia Mitchell: New Zealand has the "demogrant." Once you reach retirement age, you're entitled to a flat amount of money no matter what. It's not means-tested, so it doesn't discourage saving. On the other hand, it's not hugely generous so there's some incentive to keep working and maintain one's productivity as long as possible.
AdvisorOne: To what extent has means testing taken root in the U.S.?
Olivia Mitchell: We've already moved down the path of means testing, in effect, with more and more of Social Security benefits being subject to tax and means testing for the prescription drug portion of Medicare. The nose of the camel is already under the tent. I suspect that benefits may become more means-tested down the road.
AdvisorOne: So what is to be done?
Olivia Mitchell: It seems to me fairly clear there has to be entitlement system reform. It wasn't a huge topic of debate in the presidential election. And subsequent to the election, I still haven't heard too much about it.
When the 1983 Greenspan Commission met to fix Social Security, they were about two months away from running out of money for Social Security. They put a number of reforms in place, which were to take effect gradually in the future.
We should similarly announce today changes for the future and give people some advance notice. Our only choices are to work more, save more or consume less.
AdvisorOne: You have recently proposed a policy that would strengthen Social Security without raising costs or cutting benefits by incentivizing longer work careers. Tell us about your plan.
Olivia Mitchell: Some folks have proposed increasing the early and normal retirement ages. I've been working on a way to provide an incentive for more people to work longer without people being punished for it.
Currently, if you delay taking Social Security till age 66 instead of 62, you get a [modest-seeming] benefit increase. What would happen if instead of giving a few extra dollars per month, you'd give them a lump sum? It could be $50,000 or $60,000. I believe there would be substantial interest in delaying retirement if you gave people a reward for doing so. And it would have a [positive] effect on system solvency.

The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy has had municipal governments, regulators and consumers looking at utilities in a new light. Of the utilities serving New Jersey, Ohio-based First Energy, parent of Jersey Central Power & Light, has attracted the most heat. The company has been sued by a group of 21 individuals and one corporation.
The progressive mayor of West Windsor, Shing-Fu Hsueh, fired a salvo at JCP&L in the form of a letter to Gov. Chris Christie. He complained about JCPL's customer support in West Windsor and compared it unfavorably with New Jersey-based PSE&G. Both utilities service clients in the area. The mild-mannered mayor was so incensed that he also advocated charging unresponsive utility companies heftier fines of $25,000 per incident.
The mayor also made the larger point that municipalities should not have to coordinate relief efforts with two utility companies, and he asked the governor to look into the feasibility of rationalizing utility service so that — at least in West Windsor — they would only have to deal with PSE&G.
Would it make technical and logistical sense for the governor and Board of Public Utilities President Robert Hanna to work toward this? After all, streamlining the number of utility jurisdictions to one per municipality could make sense for the utilities as well.
To get a wider perspective on this, I checked in with Cranbury Mayor David Cook and East Windsor Mayor Janice Mironov. They both lead adjoining communities, but had a more charitable view of JCP&L, while they acknowledged the trials and tribulations that both utilities and their clients had to contend with.
Cook confirmed that Cranbury was mostly PSE&G country, but had around 200 JCP&L users. According to Mironov, East Windsor is virtually all serviced by JCP&L, except for possibly one PSE&G customer. Mironov, who recently led an effort on energy tax reform, was more interested in setting uniform standards that all utilities would be required to follow.
I have suggested to William Dressel, executive director of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities, that he consider getting the League involved in this conversation. That said, the League is still reeling from Christie's recent veto of bipartisan energy tax reform legislation, and therefore may not want to take its eye off that ball.
In any event, thanks to Hsueh for his letter of constructive criticism to the "powers that be." New Jersey municipalities served by more than one utility should at least insist on common performance standards and procedures.
