RIVERSIDE, Calif. --Lindsay Lohan will have to wait to find out if she'll face battery charges.
The Riverside County District Attorney's Office says further investigation is needed into an alleged fight between Lohan and a Betty Ford Center rehabilitation technician.
Lohan is accused of tussling with rehab worker, Dawn Holland, on Dec.12 after returning to the clinic past curfew and refusing a request to take a breathalyzer test.
A Beverly Hills judge has said that Lohan will be thrown back in jail if she violates probation. Her next scheduled hearing before the judge is Feb. 25.

June 15, 2017 at Constellations in Liverpool.
We return to our favourite place — Constellations a big, beautiful space filled with beer, food and music.
It really is as simple as that.
For those that haven't experienced the expo yet, expect over 300 beers, 20+ bars and over 80 breweries, sumptuous street food and amazing tunes. Come rain or shine our sell out festival never disappoints.
Ollie's Cider Den also makes a welcome return — an expo favourite, it will be back bigger and better.
We set up the festival 5 years ago when we spotted the lack of party atmosphere at traditional beer festivals.
This is not a beer festival.
This is a festival with really, really good beer.
We welcome back many of our old friends, and many new ones as more breweries are added to the line-up. The beer list evolves with the festival so this year will see more featured bars from guest breweries.
Kegs will be spread across 100+ taps and 20+ bars. So. Much. Beer.
We say it every year, we always sell out. We cannot release any more tickets — once there gone there gone. Book online before it's too late.
And tell ya mates.
Address: 35-39 Greenland Street, Liverpool

Special Exhibit: Binding Wounds
Binding Wounds
This exhibit is now closed.
Many histories have been written about medical care during the American Civil War, but the participation and contributions of African Americans as nurses, surgeons, and hospital workers has often been overlooked. Binding Wounds, Pushing Boundaries: African Americans in Civil War Medicine looks at the men and women who served as surgeons and nurses and how their service as medical providers challenged the prescribed notions of race and gender, pushing the boundaries of the role of African Americans in America.
Through historical images and period documents, the exhibit explores the life and experiences of surgeons Alexander T. Augusta and Anderson R. Abbott, and nurses Susie King Taylor and Ann Stokes, as they provided medical care to soldiers and civilians while participating in the fight for freedom. "Binding Wounds, Pushing Boundaries opens the door to this rarely studied part of history and brings a voice to those that have remained silent for nearly 150 years," says Curator Jill L. Newmark.
With a nation divided, the American Civil War was a war to preserve the Union. For African Americans, it was a fight for freedom and a chance for full participation in American society. As all Americans sought ways to participate and contribute to the war effort for the Union, African Americans moved beyond the prejudices they faced to serve as soldiers, nurses, surgeons, laundresses, cooks, and laborers.
African Americans who served as surgeons and nurses for the Union Army found themselves in both new and familiar roles as healers and caretakers. Surgeons were in positions of authority, which had never occurred in the United States, while nurses received paid wages for their work. These men and women came from different backgrounds and life experiences, but their desire to participate in the cause for freedom transcended class, education, and social position.

Dallas is the next city on AT&T's list slated to get U-verse with GigaPower, an ultrahigh-speed service, AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson told the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference last week.
Stephenson said that the company will expand to additional cities with the fiber-to-the-premises-based service after achieving promising results in its initial buildout of the symmetrical 300 megabit-per-second service in Austin.
AT&T competes with Time Warner Cable and a number of smaller cable operators in North Texas. The second-largest U.S. cable operator offers a top residential speed of 75 Mbps in the city.
The company plans to launch the GigaPower service in its headquarters city this summer. Deployment targets in the market will be chosen through online voting, with residents asked to express their interest in the ultrahigh-speed service.
In Austin, market adoption of the high-speed service, which the company plans to boost to 1 gigabit per second this year, has been very encouraging, Stephenson said. "We are so encouraged that we want to begin taking this to other communities," provided the company can get favorable terms and conditions from local governments, he said.
Referring to Comcast's proposed acquisition of Time Warner Cable, Stephenson pointed to "a new competitor, a new structure in the industry" that is driving the company to be "a little more aggressive and assertive in deploying that technology around the country."
Although it provides fiber-fed multi-gigabit service to commercial customers through its Time Warner Cable Business Class unit, Time Warner has not yet followed Comcast's lead in leveraging its Ethernet-based commercial services to offer residential speeds as high as 500 Mbps.
To compete in Dallas, Time Warner Cable will need to do more than it has in Austin, where its only public response to gigabit competition from AT&T and Google Fiber has been to expand the availability of its Wi-Fi network.
And while Stephenson did not specifically mention Dallas in the context of AT&T's business services, he also noted that the company plans to compete more effectively for enterprise spending as well, saying: "And then as you move into the business space, deploying fiber to business locations, a very aggressive deployment, we are going to hit 1 million new business locations with fiber this year. IP broadband, our Ethernet deployments are going great."

A FINRA arbitration panel has awarded former Merrill Lynch co-president Ahmass L. Fakahany $1.2 million out of the more than $70 million in compensatory damages he sought from his former employer.
Fakahany's claim was first filed in December 2008, months after he officially left Merrill Lynch in February 2008. His departure came as the firm swapped leaders, with Chief Executive E. Stanley O'Neal stepping down in October 2007 as the credit crisis took hold. He was replaced in December 2007 by John Thain.
Fakahany was promoted to the co-president position by O'Neal in May 2007, records show. Fakahany's claim against Merrill Lynch cited quantum meruit, unjust enrichment and promissory estoppel. The case, according to a source familiar with the situation, was tied to Fakahany's bonus compensation.
The respondents, including Bank of America, Merrill Lynch and certain executives including John Thain, denied the allegations. More details about the panel proceedings were not revealed.
In its decision, the FINRA panel awarded $1.2 million in compensatory damages to Fakahany and denied all other relief. In addition to the $70 million in compensatory damages, Fakahany was seeking unspecified attorney's fees, costs and disbursements, interest and other relief.
Fakahany's lawyers were not available for comment on the decision.
The compensation issue addressed by the claim pre-dated Bank of America's acquisition of Merrill Lynch, said Bank of America Spokesman Bill Halldin. Fakahany was never employed by Bank of America, Halldin said.
The FINRA panel charged the respondents in the case to pay $27,600 in fees, including $3,600 for adjournment fees, $1,200 for discovery-related motion fees and $22,800 for hearing session fees. Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, a broker-dealer and investment advisor, and Banc of America Securities were also ordered to pay $10,000 in member surcharge, pre-hearing and hearing process fees.

Tips From an Angel Investor and AttorneyMarch 7, 2013 – In The News
As an experienced Tech and Venture Finance attorney and angel investor, Elizabeth Sigety shares her most memorable moment as an investor, her tips for women entrepreneurs and the most important lesson she's learned as an attorney and as an angel investor in this Q&A with Business Blogger Melissa Gasnick-Cloeter, President and Founder of Own It Ventures.
Her greatest lesson as an attorney for companies seeking investment has been that "the founder has to realistically assess her own strengths and weaknesses and bring people in to fill the gaps. It is very hard to move forward if the founder, though brilliant on the creative or technology side for example, has no sense of operations, finance or marketing. You need to be able to work with others while keeping proper control of your business."

Challenge changing from RAID 0 back to single drive
Hi Everyone,
I have been having a challenge with changing from RAID 0 to a single drive, whilst retaining the data from the RAID array.
To date I have performed the following:
1). Partitioned the single drive so that it closely matches the partitions on the RAID array.
2). Used XXClone to "clone" the contents of each partition on the RAID array to corresponding partitions on the single drive.
I have two partitions, one for the operating system (Win 7) and programs and the other for data.
All appears to be good on the single drive when I boot up from the RAID array and then look at files in Windows Explorer.
However when I remove the RAID array (and set the BIOS to non-raid) I cannot seem to boot from the single drive.
Windows 7 is presenting the following error:
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
I have booted from the Windows 7 install DVD and selected the "Repair" option. From there I have...
1). Selected "Startup Repair"
*** Couldn't do it!
2). Gone to a prompt and issued the "x:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 all" command
*** Rebooted - no improvement
3). Gone to a prompt and issued different flavours of the "bootrec" command
*** Rebooted - no improvement
I notice at the System Recovery Options screen that Win 7 is listed as the OS, the partition size is given as 0, and the Location is given as (Unknown) "local disk"!'
Basically the "Repair" options cannot find the installation...
Can anybody offer advice on how I can go about getting my single drive to boot?
I have Googled this, and it would seem that most people can't get past this speed hump.
I have considered creating a system image, but I figure that I may just end up in the same predicament because the hardware configuration is being changed.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,

I don't think its possible to clone a RAID array to a single HD.
Best to copy off the data and clean install to the single HD while none other are plugged.

Windows 8.1 Pro RTM x64
Moving an OS from a RAIDed install to a nonRAIDed one (or vice-versa) is not possible. You will need to do a clean install. This is because of the way that the boot process works. When the BIOS has finished its POST, control is handed to the code within the boot sector of the HDD. Even on a RAID array, this is always on a single drive. The code there loads the required storage driver into RAM for subsequent use. This driver is either a RAID driver or a nonRAID driver. The correct mode has to be set in the BIOS for this - in other words, the driver that is loaded here MUST match the setting in the BIOS. Only if it does, can your system boot up. In your case, although you have cloned a RAID array onto a single drive and changed the setting in the BIOS accordingly, when you boot up the driver and BIOS settings don't match, yielding the error message you received: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. That is because disabling RAID in the BIOS has effectively removed the hardware from your system.

Thanks for the help
Hi Dwarf,
Thanks for the excellent description of what is happening. I figured that transferring from RAID to non-RAID was a long shot, but I now know why!

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I know this is an old post, but there's an easier way.
If you boot from a CD or USB Stick (flash) that has a Registry editor (Like Gandalf) you can edit the registry to fix the problem.
This is handy if you're going from a RAID to a new SSD or the like.
Note, you have to change the BIOS from RAID to ACHI FIRST after you have removed the RAID drives.
Here's Microsoft's page on the keys to change:

1. This is my absolute favourite cheesecake, strawberries and cream cheesecake. It is such a delicious, fruity treat. Perfect for summer! The recipe I have gone back to again and again is the one from Cake Days by the humming bird bakery. I love this book, it has almost every recipe imaginable, but this one is my favourite by far!
2. Earl grey cupcakes are a little different, but really tasty. It is something that really caught my attention and I couldn't wait to try. I didn't know what the result would be, but I was very pleased with the generous outcome. I also found this recipe in Cake Days book, but you can easily find others on the internet as well.
3. My third favourite is Peach and Raspberry tart. This is such a great tart that is could have as easily come from heaven as it could from your kitchen. It is so great to have as a mid-morning snack, an addition to your afternoon tea or the product of cheeky midnight kitchen-raid.
4. Another great bake for summer are lemonade cupcakes. They are so delicious and exactly what you need on a warm summers day. They aren't just the bog-standard lemon sponge, but something quite different in many ways and that is what I absolutly love about them.
5. I also love raspberry trifle cupcakes, which is a recipe that I first discovered in a book from the supermarket, but humming bird bakery also do an amazing recipe, which I have since used to adapt the original recipe I found. They are so tasty and an amazing suprise when you discover the sweet blob of sticky raspberry jam in the middle of the cupcake. Yum!
6. Strawberry layer cake is another summer favourite of mine and really simple to make. This recipe from the Primrose Bakery book which I have written about along with the actual bakery in an earlier blog post. It is such a great cake one for after lunch or along wth a cup of tea and such a great way to enjoy the summer.
7. I love the blueberry crumble loaf again from Cake Days, and although I have only made it once before, I fell in love with it instantly and can't wait to make it again. The sponge is not dry which can sometimes happen with a crumble sponge, and it is not too sweet either. Such a great flavour, and really easy to do.
8. This next one is a classic, but never fails to please, the Victoria sponge. It is always so delicious, so moist and soft and tastes great with anything. I always like to put thin slices of strawberries through the middle as well as fresh cream and jam. I think it justs adds a fresher, fruitier flavour and another dimension. A Victoria sponge, is so simple to make, yet something that is almost impossible not to love.
9. This one is another classic, the lemon drizzle. I think it is always so delicious and I absolutely love the flavour and smell of lemon. It tastes so good in a cake, and is never hard to pull off. Another great thing is that it looks better messy than it does neat as there is something so delicious about it being so homemade, knowing it has come form your own kitchen. Something that you have baked yourself always tastes so much better than something you have bought from a supermarket.
10. My final one is fruit scones and is something that, in my opinion, is not a proper summer without. It just makes your summer to have a scone with jam and clotted cream and a pot of tea. Somethings, no matter how fancy or delicate, just can't beat a perfect cream tea.
So that's everything, I hope that you liked this blog post and even if you didn't do much baking before, maybe this will inspire you to start. I love it, so hopefully you will/do too. A perfect summer has perfect food.
<3 Ellen

For more than 10 years, Ohio-based Blueprint has played a central role in recalibrating the sound and sensibility of underground backpack hip-hop. As a solo artist and in collaborations with other luminaries including Aesop Rock and RJD2, Blueprint has served as the music's fun-loving conscience. Count Bass D, a veteran progressive hip-hop musician based in Atlanta, and DJ Rare Groove, a noted turntablist from Cincinnati, are among the like-minded artists opening for Blueprint.
Tickets are $8 in advance through www.theriotroom.com.
Yonder Mountain String Band
Friday at Crossroads KC
As recently as two decades ago, bluegrass was primarily the domain of rural Americans. Practitioners of the music heeded the form's prescribed rules and rituals. Thanks in part to longhaired, rock-informed musicians like David Grisman and Jerry Garcia, bluegrass is now beloved by urbanites. Two accomplished ensembles that link the traditional approach to the new sensibility appear at Crossroads KC on Friday. Colorado's Yonder Mountain String Band and New Jersey's Railroad Earth apply acoustic instrumentation including banjos and mandolins to a sound befitting the new millennium.
Tickets range from $29.50 to $61.50 in advance through www.crossroadskc.com.
The Fray
Friday at Starlight Theatre
The Fray has created a few of the most perfectly realized pop songs of the new millennium since emerging from its base in Denver in 2005 with the sterling hit "Over My Head (Cable Car)." Neither innovative nor challenging, the Fray specialize in time-tested songcraft. Barcelona, a trio from Seattle, will complement Friday's headliners at Starlight Theatre with sultry, soul-inflected synth-pop. The show will begin with the frothy pop of the Brooklyn-based duo Oh Honey.
Tickets range from $35 to $85 in advance through www.kcstarlight.com.
Junior Brown
Friday at Knuckleheads
Junior Brown plays guitar like a tobacco-chewing version of Jimi Hendrix, writes hilarious songs like the mean older brother of Brad Paisley and sings with a booming voice that recalls past country greats like Ernest Tubb. Brown's signature songs "My Wife Thinks You're Dead" and "Broke Down South of Dallas" are among the most entertaining compositions in the country canon. The longtime cult favorite will be joined by the 44's and the Roosevelts at Knuckleheads. The 44's are a tough-as-nails blues band from Los Angeles. The Roosevelts are an Austin, Texas-based folk-rock ensemble with a gift for melody.
Tickets are $20 in advance through www.knuckleheadshonkytonk.com.
Tech N9ne
Saturday at the Midland
Tech N9ne appears to be an unstoppable force. "Strangeulation," the latest album by the veteran rapper known as the Kansas City King, debuted at the top of Billboard magazine's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Rap Albums and Independent Albums sales charts in May. His "Independent Grind" tour touches down Saturday at the Midland theater. Aside from his longtime cohort Krizz Kaliko, Freddie Gibbs, a rapper from Indiana, is the most notable artist supporting Tech N9ne on the tour. "Piñata Beats," Gibbs' new collaboration with Madlib, is one of the best-received hip-hop albums of 2014. The show will begin with sets by Georgia's Jarren Benton and Los Angeles' the Psych Ward Druggies.
Tickets are $30 in advance through www.midlandkc.com.
Monday at the Midland
The indigenous music of South Africa rarely makes an appearance on the American pop charts. Kongos have joined Paul Simon, Hugh Masekela and Johnny Clegg's Juluka in an elite group of musicians who have incorporated the distinctive sound into a radio-friendly hit. Originally released in 2011, the accordion-driven Kongos song "Come With Me Now" came to dominate Western radio playlists only in recent months. The band of four brothers describes its complicated origin as "Phoenix by way of London and Johannesburg." Brick + Mortar, a rhythmic rock duo from New Jersey, and Scruffy & the Janitors, a grungy trio from St. Joseph, open the show.
Tickets are $9.65 in advance through www.midlandkc.com.
Conor Oberst
July 2 at Crossroads KC
July 3 at the Bottleneck
Conor Oberst, the indie-rock version of the Oracle of Omaha, is a polarizing figure. Fans proclaim Oberst, 34, as the voice of his generation. Citing his tremulous voice and bellicose perspective, Oberst's detractors dismiss his output as the ongoing tantrum of a whiner. He showcases the gentler side of his complex persona on his new album, "Upside Down Mountain." Oberst seems intent on proving his critics wrong with the new clutch of engaging, country-inflected songs. The selection of Dawes as his tour mates reflects Oberst's new sense of accommodation. The Los Angeles-based band expertly re-creates the golden folk-rock sound of the '70s.
Tickets for Wednesday's show range from $25 to $76.50 in advance through www.crossroadskc.com. Tickets for Thursday's show are $25 in advance through www.thebottlenecklive.com.
Xavier Rudd
July 2 at the Bottleneck
A kaleidoscopic blend of reggae, blues and folk, the music of Xavier Rudd is comforting. Rudd's approach appeals equally to fans of Bob Marley and the Dave Matthews Band, but accents from instruments like the didgeridoo make Rudd's sound entirely distinctive. The native Australian has been honing his style since his startling debut album was released in 2002. Rudd's deeply felt connection to the earth, a trait he obtained from the the indigenous people of his homeland, also permeates his music. Whether he's digging into intercontinental blues or jamming on a transcendental groove, Rudd's loping music is a perfect soundtrack for a balmy summer evening.
Tickets are $19 in advance through www.thebottlenecklive.com.
The Antlers
July 2 at the Riot Room
Much like Animal Collective, the Antlers are one of the most critically unassailable bands in indie rock. The signature sound of the ensemble — an ambient gurgling that suggests isolation — is gloomy yet oddly reassuring. "Hotel," the lead single from the Antlers' new album, "Familiars," resembles a quiet hymn of despair. The acclaimed band's outing at the Riot Room promises to be an impeccably elegant and immaculately fashionable pity party. The Antlers are touring with Yellow Ostrich, another band from Brooklyn. "Cosmos," Yellow Ostrich's new album, is inspired by the television science program.
Tickets are $15 in advance through www.theriotroom.com.

To find out more about us, click on the questions below. Please don't hesitate to contact us directly if there is anything else you would like to know.
Who are Anglia Research?
We are a large, well-established probate research company with a proudly guarded reputation for thoroughness and integrity.
We employ more accredited genealogists* than any other UK probate research company. These are people who can piece together the most complex family tree, often based on a very small amount of information. Our in-house experts liaise with a global network of over 200 agents to trace missing beneficiaries or next-of-kin worldwide. Over many thousands of assignments, we have achieved a success rate that is the envy of our competitors.
*members of AGRA, ASGRA and AGI. For more details, please see our accreditation page.
What services do you provide?
Whether you are a named executor or are acting on behalf of a personal representative, whether you are faced with an intestacy or need to trace a person or a document, we can assist. For example, we can trace:
- legal beneficiaries in cases of intestacy,
- missing heirs named in a will,
- missing shareholders,
- pension fund holders and their legal beneficiaries,
- relevant grants and civil records.
We can also help you locate other relevant people such as trustees, executors and title holders.
You can find a full list of our services here. Every assignment receives our prompt and diligent attention, and our results are presented clearly and concisely.
What added value can you offer us?
The world of probate produces many unusual and sometimes unique situations. Contact us concerning any problem and we will reply quickly with a free assessment.
Once instructed, we often 'tidy up' small, low-value aspects of an estate without charge, and we can assist you in obtaining some of the lesser-known grants, such as ad colligenda bona.
How do you find entitled heirs?
Our research methods are as varied as the cases we work on. Our staff have access to an unrivalled range of resources, including a traditional 8,000 volume in-house library, supplemented by a series of proprietary databases which have been developed and refined over recent years to complement traditional genealogical techniques.
Can you assist with obtaining missing beneficiary indemnity insurance?
Yes. Our research findings are supported by fully-documented family trees and reports, which are presented in an attractive, easy-to-follow format. This makes applications for missing beneficiary indemnity insurance straightforward and easily understandable by all parties. We are registered with the Financial Conduct Authority, which means that we can source competitive insurance quotes for you if required.
Can we be assured of confidentiality?
We are a well-kept secret and we treat your information in the same way. Anglia Research has always opted to be a low-profile company, so you won't find your cases used for publicity on the BBC or in any other media. Nor are we a trust corporation, so we are not in competition with you. Your clients' details are safe with us.
How are you regulated?
Probate genealogy is unregulated. Many smaller firms have little experience in the field and are not as thorough as they should be. Others acquire impressive-looking 'credentials' which, under scrutiny, amount to very little. Anglia Research has the following credentials:
- We employ more accredited genealogists* than any other UK probate research company.
- We are registered with, and therefore regulated by, the Financial Conduct Authority.
- We are fully compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office and our registration number is Z9338731.
- We carry professional indemnity insurance (full details upon request).
- We have internal service standards monitoring, a comprehensive complaints procedure and a clear and transparent code of conduct.
- Our internal supervisory and compliance structure is similar to that of a law firm. We employ several qualified solicitors in-house and CILEx-qualified staff. Please see our staff page for further details.
- We are retained by public trustee departments for governments throughout the world.
*members of AGRA, ASGRA and AGI. For more details, please see our accreditation page.
How much do you charge?
We offer a range of charges, designed to meet the needs of clients on a case by case basis. We do not seek to tie you into a particular model just to suit our business; we recognise your duty to your client.
Our fee structure is transparent and, as a matter of principle, we never incur additional charges without clearing this with clients in advance. Generally, we agree a fixed fee, time charged or a contingency basis approach. You can find more information about our fee structure here.

An online authentication method based on recognizing faces — an idea so offbeat that even the vendor behind it has largely abandoned its efforts to sell it to banks — may be getting a second chance after Facebook Inc. devised a similar system for extreme security cases.
Most people are hardwired to recognize the faces of people they've seen before, and this instinct can be adapted for the purpose of online authentication. In one implementation consumers are asked to verify their identities by selecting a familiar face out of a "Brady Bunch"-style grid. The advantage of this over passwords is that consumers cannot easily write down or describe the right face in a way that is useful to hackers.
Facebook began using a similar system, based on its own database of faces from photos that users have uploaded to its social networking site, to secure the accounts of Tunisian citizens against government intrusion in January during that country's unrest. Facebook asked users to verify the faces of their friends as part of a strengthened login process. It plans to offer this feature as an extra layer of security to all its customers later this year, and it may spark renewed interest among financial services companies in facial recognition security procedures.
"It is not a bad idea for the banks," said Avivah Litan, a vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner Inc.
Litan said banks in general need to improve all layers of their customer-facing security.
Royal Credit Union Inc. in Eau Claire, Wis., has employed such a system to secure its customers' online banking sessions since 2008. It uses a product from Passfaces Corp. that works by training users to recognize randomly assigned faces in several screens that display grids of nine faces each. Users click on the face they recognize, scrolling along three to five screens. The faces appear in different positions on the grids for each login.
RCU previously used the Passmark system, now owned by EMC Corp.'s RSA Security. That system presents a static image for each login — its purpose is to authenticate the website to the user, assuring customers that they are not at a phisher's spoof site.
Jim Watts, RCU's chief information officer, said the $1.25 billion-asset credit union switched because it wanted to add more layers of security than Passmark offered. Watts said the credit union was intrigued with the idea that people are wired to remember faces, even after months of not using an account, and thought this might be useful to its 135,000 members.
"The value is that it is very secure, and the members can be assured they are logging on to our online banking system when they recognize their faces," Watts said.
RCU piloted the technology with a test group of customers more than 60 years old, under the assumption that older people would have the most difficulty remembering faces. It then rolled out the product to the rest of its members, making it optional for the first two months.
Watts said customer adoption problems were not an issue with Passfaces. The credit union prepared the call center for more calls, which he said subsided after about two weeks.
"I don't know how many [hacker attacks] we prevented, but we have not had one since we implemented the system," Watts said.
At the same time, Watts said, credit unions and banks might not be the best candidates to use Facebook's method of securing logins by asking users to identify the faces of people they know.
"If I am a bad guy stalking you, I may recognize the same faces as you," Watts said. "It's the randomness of this that is helpful."
Industry experts agreed. Julie Conroy McNelley, senior risk and fraud analyst for Aite Group in Boston, said it might pose a host of problems for banks and consumers to use a security system that depends on identifying the faces of people they know.
Some of those challenges include first asking the customer to upload the images, which McNelley said many might resist out of privacy concerns and out of reluctance to enroll by providing enough photos.
"You have an attrition risk that financial institutions are striving to bridge," McNelley said. "How can we make the situation secure, without putting so many barriers in front of the consumer that you lose them?"
Another issue, according to Litan, is that "anything that goes through the browser can be defeated, whether that's recognizing faces or answering questions."
At the same time, experts said, anonymous faces might function much like "captchas," the distorted letters that websites often ask consumers to decipher to make sure they are not bots or malware trying to access accounts.
And that raises another issue: Watts says the Passfaces system prevents account aggregation sites from gathering information from the credit union's online service, because aggregation engines can't recognize faces either. Such sites are increasingly popular.
"A human has to be there to recognize the faces," Watts said.
Paul Barrett, a co-founder of Passfaces and its chief executive, said that roughly 12 credit unions and two banks are using the Oak Hill, Va., company's technology but that it has had more traction with nonfinancial companies.
"We haven't kept a strong focus on banking, and our most recent sales have been in health care," Barrett said. He said doctors are more demanding about security procedures than bank consumers, who tend to passively accept what the banks give them.
Another barrier has been that banks typically work with third-party vendors for their online banking services, and these vendors favor standard security procedures, such as passwords and knowledge-based authentication.
"The banks go with what their providers give them," Barrett said. "We had some instances where a bank basically would use us, but the providers would not."
In those cases, the providers got the final say, and Passfaces lost its prospective customer.
What was interesting about the new security measure from Facebook, Barrett said, is that it required minimal extra steps for consumers, because users already recognize the faces of people they know. "Facebook obviously already has lots of faces, which could be used in the process, without taking users through a training process."
The drawback, he said, was that hackers might target individual users through Facebook to get to know their friends' faces.

One of the things that happens when you travel as much as we do, is we tend to do very little research before we arrive places. This results in us often being stuck in a situation entirely unprepared, like when we had a layover in Doha airport and did not know that we needed to get a visa on arrival, or when we were shocked at how expensive a ticket to Petra was. The same thing happened when we were booking a Korean DMZ Tour. But, here we share our tips on how to visit the DMZ in Korea.
Book Your Korean DMZ and JSA Tour Here
I swear I saw a television program once (and it might have been Anthony Bourdain), where you could take a train up towards the Korean DMZ, and just have a look around. I thought, in the back of my mind, that this would always be an option. We tried to work with Viator on booking a Korean DMZ tour with them, but they were sold out by the time we got around to it. Once I started doing some research, I realized we had to take a tour, but we had yet to book one.
When we first arrived at the Courtyard Seoul Times Square, I suddenly became a little panicked about booking a Korean DMZ tour. I learned that they don't do tours every day and you need to send a copy of your passport 48 hours in advanced. I was afraid we would run out of time during our week in Seoul because we had not planned ahead.
So, I thought I would share my tips for booking a DMZ Korea tour, so that you could learn from my mistakes.
This is the most popular Korean DMZ tour with our readers:
Book This Korean DMZ and JSA Tour
Top Tips for Booking a Korean DMZ Tour, aka Don't Do What I Did
1. Book Your DMZ Tour Well in Advance
First, because tours book up, and second, because you need to reserve a minimum of 3 days in advance in order to receive security clearance. DMZ tours from Seoul run Tuesday through Friday, except holidays and during military events and exercises. There is no way of really knowing ahead of time when this will happen. Tours can even be canceled day of. It's important to remember that the DMZ zone is an active military zone, and military activities trump a Korea DMZ tour.
So, book your DMZ tour from Seoul in advance, and try to choose your first full day in South Korea, in case you need to reschedule. When we were there, the US and South Korea joint military exercises were going on, meaning the available days during our week in Seoul were quite limited. We were lucky to have gotten in at all.
2. Decide Which DMZ Tour to Book
When we arrived in Seoul, we sat down with a brochure from a Korean tour company to see what our options were. There is a DMZ Tour, a JSA DMZ Tour, and a combo tour. At the time, I had no idea what all these acronyms really meant. Do your research ahead of time and decide which tour you want to do. For example, the JSA Tour is not open to families with children under a certain age, but there are no restrictions on the DMZ Tour.
We assumed we were going to book a "DMZ Tour" and it was what we kept talking about it. In fact, when I started to learn the difference and was encouraging Eric to book the JSA Tour, I thought we would end up in a fight. He was fixated on the concept of the DMZ and seeing North Korea. When I suggested the JSA tour instead, he disagreed. We were steps away from a fight on this one.
Here's the difference. Generally, a DMZ Tour stops at the Dora Observatory, Dorsan Street, and visits a tunnel that was dug to transport spies into South Korea. All cool stuff. But, not what I wanted to do. It does not stop at the JSA, the Joint Security Area. To me, that would be the best part of a DMZ Korea tour.
I wanted to do the JSA Tour, which makes a stop at the Mt. Odu Unification Observatory, allowing a clear view into North Korea (weather permitting). Then, the most exciting part, as if seeing into North Korea was not enough, the tour stops at the famous JSA. This is the tour that takes you into the conference room that reaches across the MDL, or the Military Demarcation Line, which straddles both North Korea and South Korea. I had seen the blue buildings on TV and that's where I wanted to go.
Key Tip: The JSA Tours visit the blue conference room buildings below!
There is a combined DMZ JSA Tour, which incorporates all of the above, but that is a very long day. The tour departs at 8am, which means check in is just after 7am. It's the perfect tour for someone who wants to make the most of their visit.
3. Booking a Korean DMZ Tour
Tour operators, like Viator, and a Korean company named Cosmo, all sell the DMZ tours. But, you might not know who will actually operate your tour until you arrive. There are only about a half dozen companies that are licensed to operate the DMZ tours. All tours meet at the Lotte Hotel Seoul, or a similar hotel like Hotel President, where tours can also be booked. Although we booked through Cosmo, a different company ran our tour, with a slightly altered itinerary than what we saw with Cosmo. In our case, it meant we had a North Korean defector on our tour bus, which was amazing. Just roll with it. All tours are about 95% the same.
4. Bring Your Passport on the DMZ Tour
When booking the Korean DMZ tour, you need to provide your passport number, and possibly a photo copy, for a security check. This is what you need at least 48 hours before the date of the DMZ visit, to allow for the security check. It is also mandatory to bring your passport with you, as it will be inspected by your "DMZ host" at least once, and maybe even twice, before you are allowed into the Joint Security Area.

Price Disclaimer
5. Dress Conservative at the DMZ Border
There is a fairly strict dress code for tourists going into the Joint Security Area. No ripped jeans, no camouflage, no leather pants or skirts, no "commercial" military clothing. One important thing to remember is that when you are standing on the South Korean side of the Joint Security Area, the North Koreans can see you, and often take photos of the tourists. If tourists are not dressed appropriately, the North Koreans say the folks on the south are poor. If tourists are wearing commercial military clothing, the North Koreans can say the folks on the south are the aggressors.
6. Pack Light For Your Trip to the DMZ From Seoul
Also, due to security concerns, you have to leave your bags on the bus before entering the JSA. You are allowed to bring your camera, in your hand, and wallets, but everything else stayed on the bus. We each put our passport in our pocket, I carried my wallet in my jacket, and I only brought my iPhone with me. You are not allowed to use a telephoto lens at the JSA either. Don't bring anything with you that you would not feel comfortable leaving on the bus.
7. Don't Drink During Your DMZ Tour
We were warned numerous times not to drink alcohol during the tour, especially at lunch. The concern being, supposedly, that if you are intoxicated at the DMZ, and you stumble or fall because of it, you can cause an international incident. I think this is also why small children are not allowed on the JSA Tour, because of the unpredictability of their behavior.
8. Realize Where You Are Going – DMZ Korea Map
Even though the DMZ definition is "Demilitarized Zone," the Korean DMZ is the most militarized border area in the world. One one side of the line there is a 4 million man strong, nuclear capable army, protecting an aggressive country. Although incidents are rare in the JSA, they do happen. This is why you will be asked to sign a disclaimer before being escorted into the JSA. It is also why there are so many rules and regulations on being a tourist in the DMZ.
That said, it is one of the most unique places you can visit it the entire world. If you take the precautions, follow the rules, and do your research, it will be an incredibly rewarding experience, and one you will never forget.

Dear Editor
Dear Editor, In an effort to help keep post-menopausal women from experiencing excruciating pain for months, like I recently did, I wanted to share a short story. Last June, I began experiencing a burning sensation in my mouth, like I had eaten a jalapeño. I went to my doctor to see if he could diagnose and fix my problem, to no avail.

AOS to 40k conversion question
Posted 03 August 2017 - 02:18 PM
Also curious if ork arms fit Goblins at all. I want to run mobs of gretchin but would love to slap guns on AOS goblins and night goblins to add variety.
Posted 03 August 2017 - 03:06 PM
Hi and welcome to da Waaagh!, spotted these the other day that a chap on Deviant Art had knocked up
suggesting that they ork up quite nicely, also worth noting that his warboss is the maw-krusha rider which makes me wonder if the beastie wouldn't make a decent base for a SnakeBite GorkaMorkanaut
Sadly (unless you can find some really small orks) grots are way too weedy to look anything like right with ork arms on them. On the other hand - throwing spears and bows and arrers do make reasonable stand ins for SnakeBite grot blastaz
Posted 05 August 2017 - 01:57 AM
Yeah savage orruks are same scale as 40k orks, no worries there.
As Badfang said, ork arms are too big for grots, even more so for the current night goblins that are smaller than goblins (since Battle for Skull Pass, before they were same size).
Human-sized arms work well with goblins, I did some ammo runts a while back for Kaptin Badrukk, the arms are Empire (most likely, they was looted), bodies, legs and heads are from grots. The human fists are smaller than grots', so I swapped both arms for symmetry. Chaos marauder or Catchacan jungle fighter or maybe even beakie scout arms might work as well. You might also concider keeping the gobling arms and doing weapon swaps for some human scale guns, most independent makers have some interesting choises, like AK47:s or tommy guns. The guard lasguns would work sizevice, too.
Posted 06 August 2017 - 05:45 AM
Posted 07 August 2017 - 03:41 PM
Do you think bows and Spears are acceptable as grot blasters? I hadn't thought of that. Also I was considering mounting guns on night gobbo squigs and mixing them in, not sure how yet but they seem about grot size and I think it would be funny.

In this The English We Speak podcast: Li is finding the instructions for building a wardrobe confusing so Rob is lending a hand. Will he find them crystal clear?
Li: Welcome to The English We Speak, I'm Li and with me is Rob. Hi Rob.
Rob: Hello Li.
Li: So Rob, thanks for offering to help me build my new wardrobe. It's come in a hundred pieces and I don't know where to begin.
Rob: No problem Li, I'm happy to lend a hand. I'm great at building furniture!
Li: Good because the instructions seem to be so confusing. This bit here… doesn't fit… here.
Rob: Let's have a look. Give it to me. Let's have a look at these instructions. Yes, simple, it's crystal clear!
Li: Crystal clear? The instructions are crystal clear? Rob, my wardrobe may look fancy but there are no crystals in it.
Rob: I know that. I just mean the instructions are obvious – they are simple and clear to understand. If we say something is crystal clear we simply mean it is absolutely clear. Is that clear?
Li: It is. You mean it's easy to understand. I suppose, literally it means as clear as a crystal?
Rob: Exactly. Let's hear some examples of this idiom in action:
- The man's directions were crystal clear and we arrived at the station early.
- Mum made it crystal clear that we wouldn't be going to the party.
Li: So in those examples, crystal clear was used to mean extremely clear or easy to understand. But Rob, what I can't understand is why you find these instructions crystal clear and I can't?
Rob: That's easy – you had them upside down.
Li: Silly me!
Rob: But if you just put that piece of wood in there… and put a screw in there… and hook the doors onto there… your wardrobe will be complete. Is that clear?
Li: Crystal clear!
Rob: Good. But as I'm here now, I'll finish it for you. (Noises of Rob building wardrobe) There you go… what do you think?
Li: (Tapping the wood) Yes, it seems quite solid… oh no…
(Wardrobe collapse)
Li: Oh dear. Now I know what is really crystal clear.
Rob: Oh yes, what's that?
Li: I will never ask for you to help me build a wardrobe again. Is that clear?
Rob: Crystal!
Both: Bye.

fray. gather. flourish.
How do we find hope after our world is shattered? In the Chestnut Street Singers' sixth season, we begin with the end—the end of the world, the unraveling of life and love as we know it. In the winter, we draw together and see a glimmer of hope in the Epiphany, and the promise of new life is fulfilled in verdant spring. Subscribe today.
fray | as shadows fall
Sunday, November 1 at 2 PM, First Unitarian Church
Saturday, November 7 at 7 PM, Grace Church in Haddonfield (tickets)
Composers have always been drawn to the question of what happens when the world comes apart around us. In the music of Poulenc, Whitacre, Gesualdo, and many more, we explore upheaval in all sizes, from the death of love to the apocalypse.
gather | in the stillness born
Sunday, January 10 at 2 PM, First Unitarian Church
When all seems lost and the hopeless cold of winter surrounds us, a child is born in a manger. With works by Howells, Gjeilo, Palestrina, and Pärt, our first ever Christmas concert tells the simple story of three magi finding the world's salvation in a mother's arms.
flourish | reckless hope rises
Sunday, May 15 at 5 PM, First Unitarian Church
The cycle completes itself in the spring: here is renewal, new life, and joy practically bursting from our lungs! Our season's final concert centers around Bach's Jesu, meine Freude and its promise that paradise grows from the good we sow in the darkest of times.

Canyoneering Tidwell Canyon – Rope Retrieval & Crack Canyon Rain
Last time around, Tim and I hiked through Tidwell slot canyon in Southern Utah in the dead of winter [Documented Here] and managed to get our rope along with the pull cord stuck on one 200ft rappel. I reached out to other canyoneering peeps via Meetup.com and gathered a small crew to head back down and see if the ropes were still living on the cliff ledge. Turns out a party had gone through and extended the rappel along with taking the ropes but it still was one hell of a trip. Roughly 18 miles, 14 hours, and five rappels. A smaller and much more enjoyable day trip down Crack Canyon the week before. Anna, Avenue, and myself all snugged inside the Trango 3 while the rain decided to poor! Here are the photos from both adventures! Enjoy.

Most of us have probably seen the standard demo when it comes to emphasizing the need for sharable SQL, aka, using bind variables where appropriate. The demo traditionally compares two similar scripts, where one of them generates a lot of SQL statements with literals, and the other recasts the same script with bind variables for dramatic improvement.
Here's a simple version I've whipped up:
So there are some cool features that are built into the GPIOZero library/module. One of the challenges I think many of us that have a lot of projects that we want to work on, is that we end up having to translate it to the version of RPI that we just happen to be working on or have available.
Quite often you can get into trouble with Oracle when you start combining different features.In this case of one my clients it is the combination of user-defined PL/SQL functions that can raise exceptions (think of currency conversion and a non-existent currency code gets passed into the function), DML error logging and attempting to improve performance by wrapping the PL/SQL function call into a scalar subquery to benefit from the built-in scalar subquery caching feature of the SQL runtime engine.As long as the scalar subquery didn't get used everything worked as expected, but after adding the scalar subquery after some while it became obvious that wrong results occurred - in that particular case here it meant rows that should have been rejected and written to the error logging table due to the exception raised in the user-defined PL/SQL function suddenly showed up in the target table, and what was even more worrying - they included a co
A nice little feature in 12c is the FETCH FIRST n ROWS syntax, which is a simple shorthand to avoid using inline views and the like to get a subset of the rows from what would normally be a larger resultset.
Here's a simple example showing the syntax
SQL> select *
2 from t
3 order by 1
4 fetch first 8 rows only;
8 rows selected.
You can also use the keyword "PERCENT" to retrieve a percentage of the rows, as show below
I came across another strange SQL performance issue: Problem was that a SQL statement was running for about 3+ hours in an User Acceptance (UA) database, compared to 1 hour in a development database. I ruled out usual culprits such as statistics, degree of parallelism etc. Reviewing the SQL Monitor output posted below, you can see that the SQL statement has already done 6 Billion buffer gets and steps 21 through 27 were executed 3 Billion times so far.
Statistics and execution plan
Here's an execution plan from a recent OTN database forum posting:
So after over two years at Oracle, I'm moving on. Yes, for those of you who haven't seen the tweets and the posts, you heard right.
How many times have you had maintenance or a release complete and everyone is sure that everything's been put back the way it should have been, all t's crossed, all i's dotted and then you release it to the customers only to find out that NOPE, something was forgotten in the moving parts of technology?
This note is about a little detail I hadn't noticed about the merge command until a question came up on the OTN database forum a few days ago. The question was about the impact of the clustering_factor on the optimizer's choice of execution plan – but the example supplied in the question displayed an oddity I couldn't explain. Here's the code and execution plan as originally supplied:
I will be teaching 5 days on my Oracle security classes in Paris from 20th June to 24th June with Oracle University at their offices and training suite. Details of the Oracle Security Event and how to register on Oracles....[Read More]
