(Newser) – First, Haley Barbour issued a spate of controversial last-minute pardons; then, a judge rejected a number of them, calling back five men who'd been released from prison. But the dust still hasn't settled: Those five men, convicted of murder and robbery, are nowhere to be found. The Mississippi attorney general's office is seeking the convicts, all of whom worked in the governor's mansion under Barbour, and none of whom filed pardon-related paperwork on time, the Clarion-Ledger reports.
The convicts were required to announce their applications for clemency in local newspapers at least 30 days before any pardon. While all five men sent notices to the newspaper, they didn't meet the 30-day requirement. Under a court order, they're required to check in with correctional officials every 24 hours. The prospect of their return to jail has offered victims' families a glimmer of hope. "I want to be excited but I'm afraid to be excited," says the mother of a murder victim. "This whole thing has put a wet blanket on the trust that I have in the people that are supposed to be there serving us."

Latin American volumes reached $69 billion from 107 deals in the year to August 15, up from $64 billion and 108 deals over the same period in 2011, according to Dealogic.
This year could be a record breaker in terms of issuance volumes.
Many expect a busy September with a decent number of cross-border bond deals. There are expectations of a seasonal pick up in issuance, and investor appetite is good. Im not sure if there is a window for super high-yield names, but opportunities for high-quality BB and BBB names exist,...

If you were a normal human sitting at home having a beer and watching national politics peripherally, as normal people do until they focus on an election, chances are pretty good you came to see the two major parties not as the Dems versus the Reps, or the blue versus the bed, but as the Nuts versus the Creeps. The Nuts were for high spending and taxing and the expansion of government no matter what. The Creeps were hypocrites who talked one thing and did another, who went along on the spending spree while lecturing on fiscal solvency.She also has good advice for Scott Brown:
He needs to serve the country the way he campaigned for votes — earnest, open, not beholden to interest or party. And he needs to avoid the Descent of the Congressional Vampires, who'll attempt to claim his victory as their own and suck from his neck until he's a pale and lifeless husk. Not to understate. But they'll want him fund-raising and speaking all over the country, not knowing or perhaps caring that the best work he can do for his party is succeeding in the eyes of his constituents, who couldn't care less about the fortunes of the GOP.

Best Uses
Comments about Ben's 100 Max Formula Insect Repellent - 95 Percent DEET - 1.25 fl. oz.:
I used this product in the Peruvian Amazon jungle. Since it was 100% DEET, I only sprayed my exterior clothing. I used this in combination with a lower DEET concentration lotion which I applied directly to my skin. Between the two products, I had no bug issues. Bugs didn't swarm at all. One bug tried to land on me, but immediately flew away. Just be sure to keep this product away from any plastic material, as it will melt plastic (watchbands, cameras, etc). Only complaint is that that container leaked a little. I had it double-bagged in ziplock bags, so it didn't contaminate anything, but tended to get all over my hands when I pulled it out. I had to be careful not to touch anything until I washed my hands.
Best Uses
Comments about Ben's 100 Max Formula Insect Repellent - 95 Percent DEET - 1.25 fl. oz.:
Works great where there are a lot of mosquitos. I've used it in Guatemala and locally. It is very effective for 10 hours or so. After that you have to remember to reapply it. After putting it on your hands may feel a bit greasy, but that sensation goes away after a short time.
Best Uses
Comments about Ben's 100 Max Formula Insect Repellent - 95 Percent DEET - 1.25 fl. oz.:
I spent a week in the Amazon rainforest, and wasn't bitten once. Everyone I was with had at least a handful of bites, regardless of the type of spray they used. But not me! This is my go-to now.
Some things to note.
- It is a bit greasy when you apply it, but it's worth it for the repellent affect.
- If you have sensitive skin, you might feel a bit of tingling when you apply it. When I put it on my stomach for the first time, it did this. It went away within 10-15 minutes, and didn't leave a rash or anything, but if you know you have sensitive skin you might want to do a test before bringing it with you as your only spray.
- The sprayer on the bottle basically sucks. You get this tiny spray, so I wound up squirting my hands a few times, then rubbing it on me, because otherwise it didn't cover easily.
Best Uses
Comments about Ben's 100 Max Formula Insect Repellent - 95 Percent DEET - 1.25 fl. oz.:
Used this in the Shenandoah National Park when the humidity was near 100% and the mosquitoes, ticks, and chiggers were out in full force trying to make me miserable.
Like another reviewer said, this is strong stuff. I only used it in very limited skin spots where I was getting hit hard, outer ear, calves, thats it. Use just one or two pumps max. After application it really cut down on mosquitoes coming near me, however it was so hot within 2 hours I sweated it off and had to reapply another pumps-worth.
Used in conjunction with permethrin treated clothes the bugs will stay away from you, important in areas like SNP with annual reports of lyme disease.
Best Uses
Comments about Ben's 100 Max Formula Insect Repellent - 95 Percent DEET - 1.25 fl. oz.:
Like it shows, it is a very strong formula with close to 100% DEET. It can be very pungent so wouldn't really recommend spraying directly on person or skin...use the less strong formulas for that. I personally would set up the tent and spray around the outside on the bottom...keeps bugs away for days while on the craig away from the tent. If you want it on your person I would recommend on clothing and not direct skin contact. 100% DEET is not really recommended for direct skin contact and could have potentially harmful reactions as it is a neuro toxin; however, DEET alone is not enough to cause harm just when used in conjunction with other neuro toxins. Would highly recommend this product though great repellent.

We take a look at Cowboys & Aliens, and a closer look at Olivia Wilde.
Welcome To Mos Eisley
Hello. If you have found your way to this place, then you are probably a friend or relative of mine, or you are here by accident, I invite you to stay awhile.
You must be tired after coming all this way. Tatooine is, after all, on the outer rim. We are always trying to bring a new perspective to the universe, so sit down and relax.
I bet you didn't know Mos Eisley had an arts and culture underground. Well here it is. Ya, this is all there is, and by underground, we mean literally, this place is under the hot, dry ground.
I can see you brought your own chair. Stay in it and let your eyes do the work. They can deceive you, but isn't that why you came? If you wanted reality you wouldn't be in Mos Eisley.
1. The Celluloid Dungeon (TM) -- Our dungeon is dedicated to finding and categorizing, cult films, and then hooking them up to a device, the Cultometer (TM), that proves there worth. The term cult covers a wide array, and is often thrown around too loosely. Don't be fooled by someone else's definition of a cult film. If Mos Eisley says its a cult film, then its a cult film. And remember, just because its a "cult", doesn't mean it's a cult "classic".
2. The Theater — We have a theater. There are just a few shows in it right now, but we hope to add more in the future. Turn up your speakers all the way and place them next to your ears to get the true surround sound multiplex effect.
3. The Gallery — The Gallery has much to enjoy, with both photos and drawings, covering a variety of subjects. The gallery images are original to this site and products of the author who reserves all copyrights. (Even the outer rim is not without some law.)
4. and The Rest… — We also have an in house critic, and a in-depth analysis section. These things are wordy, and I only recommend them if you have a class report that you don't feel like writing yourself.
If you can't find what you're looking for just ask. We are glad to take suggestions. We may not listen to those suggestions, but we will take them.
I know you're tired and thirsty. We have no drinks, we don't have music either, but trust me, you don't want to go to the cantina down the road. They had two nasty incidents in one day. A guy lost his arm, and another lost his life.
You can even bring your droids in here.
Feel free to explore and inquire. There's no obligation. You may find some thing new. You may learn something you didn't know.
Things move at a slower pace here but we are always trying to bring you more. See whats new.
Even when you leave, just remember, your welcome back any time.

Rogue Michael Jackson website settles copyright lawsuit
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Canadian memorabilia dealer who worked with Michael Jackson's mother on a tribute book and ran a website using the singer's image and music reached a $2.5 million copyright settlement on Tuesday with Jackson's estate.
Howard Mann, who used michaeljacksonsecretvault.com, MJgives.com and similar domain names to sell Jackson's music and other memorabilia, was also barred from using the "Thriller" singer's image without the permission of his estate.
The two sides announced the settlement in Los Angeles federal court hours before a trial was due to start to determine how much Mann owes the estate.
He was found liable for infringing the dead singer's intellectual property in a court ruling in August. The websites were also ordered shut down.
The estate holds the copyright to Jackson's image and music for the benefit of the singer's mother Katherine and his three children.
Howard Weitzman and Zia Modabber, the attorney's for Jackson's estate, said in a statement that the "settlement seems appropriate for all concerned".
Mann's attorneys could not be reached for comment.
The executors of Jackson's estate filed the case against Mann in January 2011, 18 months after the "Thriller" singer's sudden death in Los Angeles from an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol.
Mann worked with Katherine Jackson on several projects, including a 2010 "Never Can Say Goodbye" coffee table book featuring recollections of her son, and a DVD and calendar featuring what were described as never before seen photos and videos.
All were sold through the "secretvault" website. Mann claimed he obtained the rights to the material at a bankruptcy sale involving members of Jackson's family several years ago.
He also used copyright-protected clips of Jackson's song "Destiny", a logo featuring the self-styled "King of Pop" and art from the posthumous concert movie "This Is It" on his websites.

A festival for the development of innovative new projects initiated by Dartmouth alumni. Vox Theater (www.voxtheater.org) will be in residence at Dartmouth from June 29-July 7, collaborating on seven new works with Dartmouth students, alumni and faculty.
Theater is one of the oldest undergraduate activities at Dartmouth College. The production program is built on a tradition that dates back as far as 1779 and in 1928 it was solidly established with the College's appointment of a Director of Theater. The Department of Drama was formally established in 1967. In the spring of 2001, the department changed its name to the Department of Theater to better reflect the mission of the program at Dartmouth.
Many production opportunities are possible each year in three major productions, directed by faculty or professional guest artists; nine student-directed, designed and acted productions and three original student-written plays. Productions are open to all Dartmouth students; one does not have to be a Theater major, or enrolled in Theater courses, to participate onstage or backstage.
Auditions for the major productions and the student initiated productions are held at the beginning of each term. Information regarding the productions is posted on the bulletin board in Shakespeare Alley in Hopkins Center and the Theater BlitzMail Bulletin.

Andre Agassi can laugh about it now, but in his first Grand Slam event, the 1990 French Open, the balding future champ was worried sick his now infamous hairpiece -- the existence of which was first revealed by Page Six way back in 1993 -- would fall off midmatch. Interviewed by Katie Couric for tonight's "60 Minutes," Agassi says it "scared the heck out of me. I kept envisioning what this would be like if my hair just flew off and landed. Like, what would I do? Would I go over and kill it, or would I -- would I quickly put it back on?" After they stop laughing, Couric asks, "Would you pet it?" Agassi replies: "Would I take it home and name it? . . . I didn't know what I was gonna do. I didn't have a plan for what I was gonna do, which is why I was trying to move less and less."

Terry Richardson's Hands Star in Terry Richardson's Valentino Campaign
Looks like Terry Richardson is just as comfortable in front of the camera as he is behind it. The photographer both shot and stars in Valentino's Fall 2013 accessories campaign.
In the images, which will debut in fashion magazines around the world starting today, Richardson's hands and tattooed forearms are seen holding the brand's Rockstud handbag and shoe — both in signature Valentino red. The house's co-creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri told WWD the images are supposed to evoke "the sensual yet elegant nature of our accessories, described as objects of desire."
While this is the first time Richardson has worked with Chiuri and her partner, Pierpaolo Piccioli, it's certainly not the first time he's appeared in one of his own campaigns. Last August, Richardson lensed an ad for jeweler David Webb that features both him and model Eniko Mihalik.

The Versus Versace Party Draws an A-List Crowd — Who's Best Dressed?
When Donatella Versace throws a party, a star-studded crowd will attend. Case in point: the designer heralded in a new era of Versus Versace and debuted JW Anderson's first capsule collection for the brand on Wednesday night; and to celebrate, Jaime King, Hayden Panettiere, and Heidi Klum dressed up for the occasion. While both Panettiere and Klum selected dresses from Versace's Spring '13 collection, King took the head-to-toe Versus route. And, in doing so, the Hart of Dixie star showed off a much more edged-up, safety pin-included look. Three different plays on evening glamour (with an apropos Versace rocker-girl twist), and only one can be named "best dressed." Vote for your favorite below!
11 Fashion Exhibits You Should See This Year That Aren't About Punk
Punk: Chaos to Couture might be this year's most-celebrated fashion exhibit, but it's certainly not the only one on display. In fact, just this morning, Somerset House in London announced that later this year, it will feature an exhibit on the late Isabella Blow.
Elsewhere in the world, the Rhode Island School of Design in America is highlighting historical and contemporary dandies, and the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf is featuring a show on the legendary Azzedine Alaia. And even the Metropolitan Museum of Art has another fashion exhibit that focuses on clothing in impressionist art.

Sienna Miller Proves Why You Should Love the Fit-and-Flare Dress
Sienna Miller knows how to start (and own) a trend — boho chic, anyone? — but her latest turn toward a more feminine fit-and-flare silhouette is something she has actually loved for years. While Miller's long-sleeved, light blue Matthew Williamson box-pleat dress may be the most recent example of her penchant for the girlier style, she has also stepped out in Topshop, Valentino, and Twenty8Twelve iterations. And it's not hard to see why she loves a fit-and-flare dress — and why, if you haven't converted yet, it's a really flattering choice for most body types. By cinching the smallest part of your waist and letting the skirt flare out over the hips, it creates an illusion of a bombshell-like figure. And for those of you who aren't after a totally body-con fit, this route touches on something halfway to formfitting. All the proof you need, according to Sienna Miller, is right here.
Which British Babe's Daytime Duds Do You Like Best?
Over the past two days, leading ladies Emma Watson and Carey Mulligan have not let us down in the fashion department. From Carey's convex, textured Balenciaga jumpsuit to Emma Watson's, feathery, burgundy Christioher Kane cropped blouse and skirt, both of these British babes have taken their ensembles to fresh new heights in the French Riviera. But...if you had to choose, whose daytime photocall outfit do you prefer?

Pumpkin and chickpea salad recipe
This salad may seem like it has strange ingredients - until you taste them all together .. it will wow taste buds! Bring it to the next barbecue and you'll definitely impress.
Prep Time:
15 mins
Cook Time:
45 mins
- 1.5kg pumpkin, peeled, cut into large cubes
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 8 dried figs, diced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 cup roughly chopped fresh coriander leaves
- 1 large lemon, rind grated, juiced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
Preheat oven to 200°C fan-forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and set aside.
In a bowl, toss the pumpkin with cumin, coriander and vegetable oil until completely coated. Spread pumpkin in a single layer on the baking trays and cook for 20-25 minutes. Remove from trays and cool.
Place pumpkin, chickpeas, figs, onion, coriander leaves, lemon rind, lemon juice and olive oil into a bowl and toss gently to coat. Serve.
- I used soft and juicy semi-dried figs for this recipe.
- You can use the pumpkin while it's still warm if you are in a hurry.
- If you're preparing this salad in advance, it is best to add the coriander just before serving so it keep its fresh taste and crisp texture.
- This recipe was created by Jennifer Cheung for Kidspot, Australia's best recipe finder.

Help Iranian Free Speech: Translation Help Needed #IranElection #gr88
Are you looking for more ways to help support freedom of speech in Iran? Are you bilingual? In English and ANY OTHER LANGUAGE, whether spoken, written, or signed? Do you feel competent to translate simple text from English to another language? (Written, spoken, or signed) Please read on.
1. A short blog post has been written entitled "Simple Ways to Help Iranian Free Speech" #IranElection #gr88. This blog post gives a few simple ideas how to support freedom of speech in Iran. It also links to two more important posts (currently only in English that I know of) with more ideas for how to help. Please consider translating this blog post, which you can find at http://is.gd/13U0V. If you can translate it to any other language, then I would be happy to post it for you at this blog (just post the translated text in the comments area here, or send me a Word file to ashettle [at] patriot.net). Or you are also welcome to post the translation at your blog instead and I will link to you there. (In fact, if you can help post translations at your blog, either your own or someone else's, that would be a big plus for me.)
Please do include a translation of the headline ("Simple Ways to Help Iranian Free Speech"). Be sure to include all appropriate hypertext links in your translation. But also CONVERT URLs as needed (for example if you're translating the "Simple Ways" post to Esperanto … then set up a "Digg" vote for YOUR Esperanto post and make sure you encourage people to "Digg" YOUR Esperanto translation, not just the english translation! and tell people to tweet YOUR esperanto post, not the English one! and link back to YOUR translation as the "original home" for YOUR language version!)) Also, provide a tweet in the target language with appropriate hashtags if you can (so I can help re-tweet it for you!)
2. Another important post that can use translation assistance is http://is.gd/13TK4 In fact, you may want to translate this one before you translate #1 above (look at both and decide for yourself.) This is another fairly short, simple text to translate.
3. Want to do a third translation exercise? Do you understand computer technology? Consider translating the text at http://iran.sharearchy.com/. This is an important post because it provides instructions for how people can set up their own proxy server so that Iranian bloggers can blog more safely. Your translation could help recruit more people to set up proxy servers. But please only do this one if you understand computers well enough to do a competent technical translation. There is no point in translating these instructions if the end user will still be unable to understand how to set up a proxy server! Also bear in mind that it is a very long post. In addition to instructions for setting up a proxy server, it also has other ideas for how to mobilize support for freedom of speech in Iran.
Ready to volunteer to do a translation? Please say so in the comments area below—and then please follow through with your translation as quickly as possible! If you post a translation at your own blog site or web site please post the link in the comments area below.
Can't translate? Please talk with your bi-lingual friends and see if you can recruit someone to help!
Translation of "Simple Ways to Help Iranian Free Speech" now available en Français"! French translations still needed for http://iran.sharearchy.com/
Translation of "Simple Ways to Help Iranian Free Speech" now available en Español. The same translator is working on a Spanish translation for the "boing boing" post (that lists a few more simple ways to help). Someone is still needed to do a (more ambitious!) Spanish translation for the http://iran.sharearchy.com/ post explaining how to set up proxy servers for Iranian bloggers. You can help publicize the French version by tweeting this tweet:
Moyens simples pour aider les Iraniens la liberté d'expression: http://is.gd/14SL6 #IranElection #gr88 Pls RT
And you can help publicize the German version with this tweet: Einfache Methoden, der Meinungsfreiheit im Iran zu helfen: http://is.gd/15fiS #IranElection #gr88 Pls RT
You also can help "Digg" the French translation at http://is.gd/14XFP and the Spanish translation at http://is.gd/14Xl8.
The "Boing boing" post has now been translated to Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and Turkish, all athttp://ds522.livejournal.com/12843.html . Corrections still wanted for Japanese version.
There also are separate pages for Türkçe, francais and Português. Translations are still needed in Turkish, Portuguese, and Japanese for http://is.gd/13U0V and the more ambitious (but very important) post at http://iran.sharearchy.com/.
At some point I might do a separate blog post to link to all the translations. If so, I will point to where it is from here.
PLEASE MONITOR both the comments area below this post AND ALSO the comments area at the simple ways to help post before starting on your own translation. Please try to avoid duplication, unless you think you can do a better quality translation than an existing one. Thanks! Bear in mind that I only have very limited hours in the day in which I am actively on -line … if you think you can stay on line to update links as relevant more hours than I can (or at least different hours from me) let me know, maybe I can give you some limited authorship access to my blog or something so you can help manage all these translations!

Did you know that it is illegal if any of your registration numbers or letters are obstructed by marks or cracks? If you use your number plates on the UK* roads then it may be time to replace your number plate or plates. If your plates are faded or broken and are hard to read, then you should replace them with road legal number plates which comply to BS AU 145d standards. This includes using the correct spacing, size and legal font and will show the supplier's name and postcode and the BS mark. Certain side badges are allowed on the left hand side and the legal choices available are contained in each of our listings for the road legal number plates available for cars, 4x4's and motorcycles.
Confused or worried you don't have road legal number plates then don't worry as Rockshore are at hand. We now supply Road Legal Number Plates which are made in house and have a choice of side badge all of which will comply with BS AU 145d standards. If you want to personalise your number plates for off-road use or show use then we can supply Show Plates too!
* The information supplied is for UK drivers only. Drivers from overseas countries should consult local law agencies for legal requirements in their own countries.

I bought the manual and have read it cover to cover. It was a big help on setting up the downloadable files (attributes and options). Everything seems to work until downloading any file I have available for download. They all download with 0 bytes.
I created the files using WinZip. I tried both regular .zip files and self-extracting .exe files. I uploaded to server via WS_FTPpro into the directory /downloads. I set up all attributes and do have a green dot indicating the file is valid. I checked both the files on server and compared sizes wtih the uploaded sizes, and they all match When the download is presented to the customer, it has the correct size listed in the download list, but when it is download, it is ZERO.
I am no expert at any of this, and would not even have attempted setting this up if there had not been a book available, and at this point I don't know whether I am doing something wrong with WinZip, or if I should contact my host, or if I have something incorrect in ZenCart.
Also, I have Redirect Downloads set to False (I tried True after reading another thread here, but that only caused a 404).
My site is www.DragonflyDigitals.com/shop, and I do have some freebie downloads available. (Not a plug, I really need some help.)
thanks in advance

BAMIYAN, Afghanistan -- Army Maj. Kenton Barber never planned to hand out a truckload of warm clothes to the desperate cave-dwellers in the cliffs where the famed Bamiyan Buddhas once stood.
Nor did he plan to team up with Afghanistans growing Scouting movement, an aspiring Eagle Scout from Maryland, an international charity or a multiagency federal aid program. He certainly hadnt planned to use military planes for transport.
All hed wanted was to put shoes and maybe a coat on a couple of the barefoot street kids he saw standing in the snow last winter outside NATOs downtown Kabul base.
He asked his wife to collect some clothes around the house, maybe buy a few things at Walmart. Nothing more grand than that.
But his wife asked neighbors in suburban Washington to help. Then one of them mentioned the informal clothing drive to Barbara Ferry, the librarian at National Geographic, whose 13-year-old son, John, was looking for an Eagle Scout project. She asked Barber to talk to him.
Last week, a year and many hurdles after Barber saw those kids in the snow, a truck loaded with bags of warm clothes, trailed by a minibus packed with Afghan Scouts, arrived at the caves. It completed Johns project. And what a project it had become.
These Scouts, Im very happy with them, said Marza, whose family of six lives in a small cave and who, like many Afghans, uses just one name. Other people never came to ask what our lives are like. But they did, and now we have clothes that will keep my children warm.
The caves stretch for miles on either side of the empty niches where the immense Buddhas stood, before the Taliban blew them up in 2001. Most estimates put the population at several hundred families, displaced by fighting, food shortages, or just plain poverty. A 2009 survey by the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission found that three-quarters of them had been there for 10 years.
Poor doesnt begin to describe their lives, which get even harder in winter, when there are no jobs at the valleys potato farms. That means no money for food, let alone firewood or coal, at a place 9,200 feet above sea level, where the average high temperature in January is below freezing and nights often dip into the single digits or even lower. Many children sleep with sheep in their rooms to stay warm.
Marzas cave is little bigger than a walk-in closet, the stone bare except the floor, which is covered by several rough-woven dirty carpets. The closest thing to furniture is a shelf hacked into the rock for their few trinkets. Their luxury is a small stove, in which the family burns brush or animal dung a few times a week. Most meals are just tea and bread. If they have money for boiled potatoes, thats a feast.
With as many as eight people crowding each cave, respiratory and intestinal problems seem universal. When dozens of residents of the cave community known as Patokhlama, just east of the Buddha niches, lined up to receive the Scouts bags of clothes, the chorus of coughs was non-stop. Most kids had runny noses.
Marza said her family has lived in the cave 10 years. But district school officials refuse to consider them residents, so her children cant go to government schools, she said. Education is the only way out for her children. Im very sad, she said. I worry they will end up like us.

I tuned in to watch a football game, not a presidental address. Every single channel was showing the address - its not like the world would have ended if NBC showed the game. Let people go to CNBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, CNN, etc. to watch the presidental address.
I am also irritated that some of you say people with my opinion should put things in perspective. If the Presidental address was so important, then why was the game being played then? Why didnt they pause the game so the players and fans in the stadium could watch the address, or not start the game until after the address?

It`s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, especially at Joplins Northpark Mall. Art students from Joplin High School created these Christmas scenes to be displayed while parents and children wait in line to see Santa. The students drew scenes from the book �Twas the Night Before Christmas. Many of the drawings measure 8 feet tall. Art teachers say many of the students came in on the weekends to complete the project. The artwork will be revealed to the public this Saturday and stay up throughout Christmas. The display is located in the food court section of the mall. Jolly old Saint Nick arrives at 11:00am this Saturday.

Yesterday we posted about a new strain of highly advanced malware (APT), dubbed Flame. It is potentially the most advanced malware to date, at least in terms of functionality combined with the ability to stay hidden over a long period of time. It's also unusually large (20 MB), whereas most attacks contain small files (under 1MB). The file is so large because it incorporates a broad set of capabilities including recording audio, taking screenshots, compiling a list of nearby Bluetooth devices, and more. It even includes some rare techniques not commonly found in malware, such as using the LUA scripting language for some of its functions. The primary function of Flame is to...
Ever been to a webinar that tells you what to do, but fails to say how? Well, this week I'm determined to change that. I'm hosting a webinar that will help eliminate DLP fears and provide a guide on managing risk. As a Websense expert on DLP, I'm going to give real-world practical advice on how anyone can understand, apply, and realize real measurable DLP results.
Here's the webinar link. Join me on Thursday, April 5th at 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. EST. You'll learn:
- Guiding principles of security and risk management
- Data breach trends from the last six years
- Nine-step DLP methodology and execution strategy
- Success factors in addressing the web DLP challenge
While CIOs don't need to be convinced that data loss protection is important—many are afraid of failure. They have heard horror stories about deployment complexities and operational nightmares. Recent high-profile data breach headlines have also made them question the true value and effectiveness of DLP. Could you blame them? Well, this webinar is designed to give you a road map to DLP success.
Register for the webinar here: http://www.websense.com/content/brighttalk-webcast.aspx
If you have any questions on DLP or the webinar, feel free to post a comment.
I've had a few customers ask me recently about how we compare to OpenDNS. We only run across Open DNS once in a while, typically for extremely price-conscious customers. But cheap comes at a cost and when the solution is insufficient the savings can't be justified.
Open DNS works by using their cloud-based DNS servers as URL filter databases. Since the huge majority of web requests require DNS resolution to match an IP address to a URL domain name, they provide filtering by having an objectionable URL map to a block page location rather than to the web site.
OpenDNS sells to a lot of schools, so let's look at a relevant example...

Adobe Photoshop Tips: March 1: Straighten Up and Crop Right |
I recently acquired a huge cache of family photos from a relative. In order to share them with my extended family, I have been scanning them six at a time on a flatbed scanner. Photoshop and PSE have a few very handy features which make quick work of separating and straightening scanned photos. Even if you are not careful in your placement of photos on the scanner, Photoshop can crop, straighten and save them in a flash! Don't own a scanner? Read on to see how this technique works with photographed and digitally-designed files, too. Import from scanner: First, take advantage of the import feature that allows you to scan your photos directly into Photoshop. Connect your scanner to the computer and select File > Import. From the options, select your scanner name. This activates the scanner and scanner driver. Arrange your photos on your scanner bed and scan the entire set as one image. When the scan is performed, your image will appear in the large editing window. Separate the photos: Here's where the real magic begins. With the scanned image selected, let the software do the time-consuming tasks for you: In PSE, select Image > Divide Scanned Photos. In PS, select File > Automate > Crop and Straighten Photos. Watch in amazement as Photoshop detects the boundaries of the photos, crops and straightens them. When the action is complete, you'll have the original file and a set of individual photos. Don't' have a scanner? The good news is that this feature isn't exclusive to scanned photos. Use File > Open to select a document containing more than one item that you have scanned, photographed or created digitally at another time. Save the photos: Finally, save the group of images with just a few clicks. In PSE, select File > Process Multiple Files. Process files from Opened Files. Select a destination, file naming convention, size and file format. When you have made your selections click OK to allow PSE to process all of the images with one click. In PS, select File > Scripts > Image Processor. Use open images, select a destination, file format and size. You can even choose to run an action on each of the images from this dialog box. When your selections are complete, click Run to process all of the images with one click. |

June's MBWales 2012 Challenge is to take on a Welsh MTB event. We've a wealth of events here in Wales and they are not just for the hardcore.
At lots of our events there is plenty to do for spectators and supporting family and friends. We're talking real ale quaffing, festival vibes, family friendly campsites, outdoor hotubs and tasty Welsh burgers all before you even begin to fettle with your bike. That said there's no reason not to take your events seriously and believe me plenty of people do.
In the next few days I'll be updating you with top tips from our very own cycling fanatic and MTB champion, Huw Thomas, who is currently the UK and European 24 Hour Solo MTB Champion. I recently spoke to Huw and he shared his pearls of wisdom that have helped him reach the top of his game. Take on Huw's advice and who knows where you'll be come 2014…
To help you decide which type of event might be the one for you I've compiled a list or annual events and tried to outline what you can expect form each one. Read away, book you place and maybe start a little training but most of all have fun!
If I've missed any out please do let me know and I'll add them to the list. You can also stay up to date with Welsh MTB Events via out MBWales events page.
The Torq Roughride – Usually taking place in May the Roughride offers a 75km route and a shorter 48km option. Most of the climbs and descents are on good quality moorland tracks and the vast majority of riding is across wild East Radnorshire moorland with fantastic views. Event organisers proudly boast of no forestry roads, no bike-carrying bogs and very little farmland. Website:roughride.co.uk
Howies Dyfi Enduro – It was the eleventh year of the Dyfi Enduro in 2012 and it has become a highlight in the Welsh MTB event calendar. It takes place in May and this year saw the 700+ entries sell out in less than 2 hours of being released. You gotta be quick to be in it! Starting in Machynllyth the 60km route heads out into the Dyfi Forests best hidden trails. It has a reputation for long unrelenting fire road climbs and long rough technical descents. The events complimented by it's festival vibe which includes a wealth of camping spots, great food and drink, DJ's and things for children to do too. Website:summitcycles.co.uk/enduro12/ Rider write up:2012 overview from Shem ap Geraint
Howies Coed y Brenin Enduro – First hosted in 2011 it's a newcomer to the event scene but it's organized by the same people responsible for the Dyfi Enduro so you can be sure you're in for a treat. It's a fantastic 55km course (with the option of a shorter 30km cut-off). There's some long hard climbs but you are rewarded with Coed y Brenin's best singletrack descents (some of which aren't usually open to the public). Website:www.summitcycles.co.uk/enduro12/ Rider write up:2011's inagural event overview from Patrick Bird
CRC MTB Marathon Series – 2012 is the 13th season of the Chain Reaction Cycles MTB Marathon Series. They offer a broad range of courses and locations so enthusiasts, novices and intermediates alike can join. Whatever your skill or fitness level, they will have the right course length and level of difficulty for your ability with the choice of course length to progress over time. Typical distances range from 25km to 100km. Events are held across the UK with multiple events throughout the year in Wales. Website: www.mtb-marathon.co.uk
Back Mountain 3 Days – As the name suggests this is a 3 day bike stage endurance event taking place in the stunning Brecon Beacons. It takes place in June and is only open to a limited number of riders to maintain a level of intimacy. Across the three days riders are asked to cover a rather impressive 160km (or more), which traverses moorland, forests, valleys, hilltops and scale steep cliffs both ways. There will almost certainly be hike a bike' sections for all riders. Website:blackmountains3day.co.uk Rider write up:2011 overview from Josh Ibbett
Other Endurance events worth a mention:
· Mawddach Gold Rush
· Brecon Beast
· Dyfi Winter Warmer
Fetish UK Gravity Enduro - This is the first national enduro series and in 2012 they have taken enduro racingto the next level with five rounds spread across the UK. In 2012 there are two rounds held in Wales, one at the awesome Coed y Brenin trail centre and the other at technical Dyfi Forest. It's neither a downhill race nor a cross country race, but a mix of the two. The timed sections are usually pointing down but there are short climbs and flat sections too. These events have a real mountain bikers vibe to them. And where else can your everyday rider rub shoulders and compete with the likes of Tracey Moseley and Neil Donohue. Website: ukgravityenduro.com/ Rider write up:2012 Coed y Brenin participant Anthony Oram
WDMBA - The WDMBA is a group set up in 2008 to promote downhill mountain bike racing in Wales. The WDMBA in Association with Gravity Sport LTD have released the dates for its 2012 Downhill MTB Race Series. The courses cater for riders of all abilities with various line options available. Whatever your reason is for attending the series, be it for the serious competition or just to have the experience of racing DH, they aim to make it as fun as possible for everyone. Website:wdmba.co.uk/
Halo British Downhill Series – This series is your chance to rub shoulders with the likes of Steve Peat, Danny Hart and Gee Atherton. There's a total of six races with two each in Scotland, England and Wales. A prize fund of £15k cash will ensure the top riders take all the risks to thrill the crowds whilst the other riders aged between twelve and fifty years of age plus will race their own age groups for over £35k worth of prizes. To enter you will need to have a valid British Cycling membership and a Race License. There's plenty for spectators at these events with camping, a large marquee, food, refreshments, retail outlets and a pro pits. Website: halobritishdownhillseries.com
Welsh Ride Thing - I'm certainly not aware of another event like it in the UK. Participants take on a 3 day bikepacking trip devising their own route which integrates a number of allotted grid references. If you've never heard of the phrase bikepacking before it's sometimes called off road touring or cycle camping. It all comes down to loading up your bike and heading off on a self propelled, 2 wheeled, over night adventure. Bikepacking was our April challenge you can find out a little more about it by reading our article. Website:bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk Rider write up: Those a whole forum dedicated to the WRT and bike packing http://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpBB3/index.php
Real Ale Wobble – From the people who brought you the World Bog Snorkelling championships, comes the Real Ale Wobble. Perfect for those not wanting to take their mountain biking too seriously. A choice of 15, 25 or 35 miles distances is available over two days. Free real ale is provided for riders to quaff at checkpoints so you can be sure all routes will be off road! Website: green-events.co.uk/
Red Kite Mountain Bike Bash – 3 days of fun and exhilarating guided riding catering for all abilities and with the opportunity to try out more unusual activities such as mountain bike chariot racing and chainless downhill. Website:green-events.co.uk/

Preservation Department |
Information is recorded in a variety of formats, including books and journals, film, magnetic media, and optical disk. Print collections line the shelves of academic and research libraries, threatened by premature deterioration from being published on poor quality paper, careless handling, or inappropriate storage conditions. Electronic resources are also at risk, especially from software and hardware obsolescence and a lack of much needed standards to help ensure files are maintained for the long term.
Student and staff make phase boxes and other enclosures, perform simple repairs, and assist with reformatting projects. The University community is encouraged to contact the Preservation Department with questions about collections care. |
With special state funding the University at Albany Libraries established its own professionally staffed Preservation Department in 1987. The Department is charged with coordinating efforts to prolong the useful life of the University Libraries' collections and the information they contain through in-house programs, vendor services and special cooperative projects with the ten other major research libraries in the state. Preservation Librarian Karen E.K. Brown is a professional paper conservator/librarian who joined the Library faculty in the summer of 2001.
It is the responsibility of our research libraries to acquire information, organize it, make it available, and preserve it, regardless of format. The University at Albany Libraries have a well established preservation program that is effectively dealing with resources in traditional formats and is currently working with others in the University community and beyond to provide, organize, and preserve scholarly electronic materials with the same long-term commitment.
As books begin to deteriorate physically, they are inspected by the staff of the Preservation Department. Those having only minor structural damages may be rebound by a commercial bindery or repaired in-house. However, more sophisticated preservation treatment differs depending on whether an individiual item is valuable primarily for the information it contains or has significance as an art object or historical artifact.
Those with intrinsic value are likely to be transferred to the M.E. Grenander Department of Special Collections & Archives to insure proper storage and handling.
If the paper on which a book is printed has deteriorated to the point where its pages are too brittle to use without loss of information, or if a book is irreparable due to mold or vandalism, a decision is made by a library subject specialist about its value. Books which no longer have value for teaching or research are withdrawn from the collection. Those still useful for research and study, but which have no historic or artistic value, may be replaced, or reformatted as a microfilm or preservation photocopy. Photocopied material that is no longer protected by U.S. Copyright law is now scanned and made available as .pdf files through the Libraries' online catalog. Some volumes may be simply enclosed in a custom-made phase box or portfolio and returned to the shelf.
Futher information can be found on our Staff FAQs page.
The longevity of books, even those printed on acidic paper, can be extended considerably by reducing the amount of physical stress to which they are subjected. Some ways of doing this include providing adequate shelving; using bookends where necessary for support; maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels; and keeping the library clean. Every library user can help prolong the useful life of the University Libraries' books by observing a few simple measures:
Click here for care and handling guidelines for digital capture.
If you have questions about preventing damage to our collections, or should damage occur when you have materials checked out, our Patron FAQs can help.
The Preservation Laboratory is located on the third floor of the Science Library, SL310. The staff is happy to assist if you have questions or problems regarding care of the collections.
The Preservation Department offers workshops and other programs on a broad range of subjects for the Univerisity and the wider Albany area community. We will also organize staff training opportunities as problems or challenges arise.
In May 2013 Emily Holmes from Columbia University gave in introductory seminar on the "Fundamentals of Digital Preservation", attracting almost 60 archivists, curators, librarians, and students to the University at Albany campus to explore the issues and challenges. A pdf copy of her slides will be made available until June 1.
One of our most recent programs focused on first response to water emergencies in the Libraries, "The Preservation Poseidon Adventure". We invite you to contact the Preservation Department if you have ideas or recommendations for future workshops.
These selected resources are recommended to assist research of preservation-related topics.

Writer's Conference
The 9th annual Columbus State Writers Conference on May 5th was a great success! Certainly, we were saddened that our initial keynote speaker, Elizabeth Alexander, had to cancel her appearance due to a death in the family. However, Naomi Wolf delivered a very thought-provoking and educational speech, in addition to a special workshop earlier in the day. Additionally, seventeen other professional writers conducted engaging workshops on a range of writing-related matters.
We look forward to next year's conference. Details regarding presentation proposals will be updated on the conference's website this fall.
Thanks to all who participated for a wonderful conference!

Teachers across Devon set to strike in national protest over pay and conditions
Teachers in Exeter are set to strike over pay, pensions and working conditions.
The industrial action will start in the summer term, according to the National Union of Teachers (NUT) and NASUWT.
They have already been taking part in industrial action short of striking in recent months.
Initially strikes will take place on June 27 in the north-west of the country but the action spreads across the country including a one day national strike before the end of the autumn term.

A South West NUT spokesman said: "The attacks on pay and pensions in combination with increasing workload are making teaching an unsustainable option for many.

A sopeksman for the Department for Education said: "We are very disappointed that the NUT and NASUWT have decided to take strike action, which less than a quarter of teachers actually voted for."

After claiming the Enda McGuill Memorial Cup on Wednesday evening, Cork City completed the second part of a memorable double. Speaking to extratime.ie, manager Stuart Ashton hailed it as a "fantastic" achievement.
"Obviously it is a fantastic achievement. Winning the double is an excellent achievement for the lads and for the club. We are delighted. It caps off a wonderful season. This is probably the highlight but the double is a wonderful achievement."
Ashton went on to praise Dundalk and spoke of how it isn't easy being a manager in these situations.
"It was a hard fought game tonight. We expected that. Fair play to Dundalk, they made a great game of it. From a managers point of view it was a heart-stopping game. The game really could have gone either way.
"We had chances in the first half, where we could have been two or three up at half-time and then the second half they had two or three chances and could have equalised in the last minute to take it into extra-time. It was probably too open a game from a managers point of view, it's not easy on the touchline but I am delighted we managed to get the right result.
The Cork City boss admitted it was a great game of football and was pleased that both teams put on a good show. He also spoke of how important the league is and can be.
"It truly was a great game of football. It was a great game for the crowd, a real roller coaster. As you know, the League of Ireland have brought this (under)19's league in. It's about getting players into the first-team. We have one or two on the verge of that, hopefully. One or two more may go into the first-team we hope.
"We'll try doing it the right way. Trying to play properly and over the season I think we've done that and got the rewards. The league can be a very important part of their development and that's what the league can do."
Despite this year's success, Ashton is already looking ahead to next year and what prospects he has for the squad - both individually and collectively.
"As a group, only seven or eight of them will be underage again next year and the rest will join the first-team squad straight away. They'll have a few days off now and then they'll go into the squad. From there, it's up to them where they take their careers themselves.
"The hard work has just started and it's a big step up as we all know. They know that, but hopefully a few of them will go on to make great careers for themselves."
