Lately we've had a surge in sensational stories about pit bulls on the news. It's a terrible shame, as * any * poorly socialized dog has the potential to be dangerous. Many bites from many breeds of dogs go unreported, and very few make the news. Pit Bulls almost always make the news, giving the mistaken impression that they bite more frequently that other dogs. This is false.
Here are some snippets I've found in the past few days:
Along time trainer and expert in Canadian dog bite statistics, Marjorie Darby, points out that "In Ontario, a 'pit bull' killed another dog, and it was front-page news, that reappeared in the media for weeks. The owner was swiftly taken to jail. Around the same time, two Labs killed another dog, and attacked a 'pit bull' without any real media interest. The owner of the Labs was not charged with any serious offense. There are other blatant incidents, as well. One weekend, two off-leash dogs (one of them being a 'pit bull') got into a squabble, and every major media agency reported the incident. That same weekend, a child was mauled by the family's Golden Retriever, and not one media outlet covered the story."
The truth is that Breed Specific Legislation is simply not a practical solution to curbing dog aggression. To quote Ms Darby again: "No matter what dog 'breed' tops the dog bite statistics, the vast majority of bites are still attributed to other breeds." Clearly, banning a single type of dog (instead of creating policies that enforce responsible ownership of any dog) would be ineffective at curbing the majority of dog aggression.
Breed Specific Legislation is also very unfair to the thousands of well socialized dogs belonging to responsible owners. "In the U.S., even extremely conservative estimates suggest that only 0.00002% of the 'pit bull' population has killed. This is much lower than the human population (men, in particular). Whatever someone's views about 'pit bulls' might be, it can't change the fact that at least 99.99998% have never, and will never, kill anyone."
Time and time again studies have shown that there is not a correlation between breed type and aggression. Take for example an excellent five year study which was published in the Cincinnati Law Review in 1982, vol. 53, which specifically considered both Rottweilers and "Pit Bulls" and concluded in part that: "The statistics did not support the assertion that any one breed was dangerous.
When legislation is focused on the type of dog it fails because it is unenforceable, confusing, and costly.
Focusing legislation on dogs that are "vicious" distracts attention from the real problem, which is irresponsible dog ownership." Legal Review (a very large PDF format file)
I could go on and on, but our wonderful employee, Julie says it best. Please read her beautiful letter in response to a call for Breed Specific Legislation in today's Oregonian Opinions section:
Did you know that in the month of October, 2008 alone:
-A 2 year old girl suffered a bite to the face by a golden retriever/lab mix?
-A policeman was taken to the hospital after being bitten on the hand and arm by a police canine?
-A dachshund was viciously attacked and killed by a police canine?
These are only a few of the dog-related incidents that you probably heard nothing about. One major reason?
The dogs weren't pit bulls.
Unfortunately for the dogs that were once America's favorite breed, the media is playing a major role in fueling the public's fear of pit bulls. Stories of pit bull attacks are sensational, and sensational stories sell. Often a dog attack that involves a dog that simply looks like a pit bull, or a dog that is a mix of a pit bull, is reported as a "pit bull attack". This not only skews statistics on dog bites, but creates an obscenely biased view of the breed in the public's eye. What the media fails to consider is that explicitly covering pit bull related incidents only makes it harder for responsible, caring people to own this loyal breed, while simultaneously making it even more attractive for irresponsible people to use and abuse this notably powerful dog.
That said, pit bulls are certainly a powerful breed. They are known for their excellence in weight pulling and their sleek muscular bodies. Yet pit bulls are obviously not the only powerful breed of dog, nor are they anywhere near as big or strong as some. While German Shepard Dogs, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Labradors, and Golden Retrievers, for example, are all quite similar in size and strength to the "pit bull type dog", dogs such as Great Danes, Mastiffs, St. Bernards, and Bernese Mountain dogs dwarf pit bulls. Thanks to the media, you typically won't hear about it if these dogs attack, but the damage is no less. And, for the record, there is nothing about a pit bull's jaws that differs from the jaws of other dogs. Period.
One of the major factors influencing the number of dog bites per breed is the popularity of that breed at that time. Clearly, pit bull terriers are a popular breed, and, sadly, they are often popular with people who want dogs for the wrong reasons. In the seventies, the breed of choice for irresponsible dog owners was the Doberman Pinscher. In the eighties, it was the German Shepard Dog. Now, sadly, the breed of dog that was America's first dog to be decorated a war hero has taken the hit as the target for the most horrifying dog abuse and neglect in our country.
What good will it do to ban pit bulls? People who want guard dogs will not simply give up the idea of having dogs as protection. Another breed will become the choice for abuse, and the aggression will continue. Breed bans worldwide are being overturned because they have proven to be ineffective. The best way to control canine aggression is by assessing dogs as individuals, and by forcing owners' of aggressive dogs to safely control their dogs. Stricter laws for aggressive dogs of any breed and their owners make sense. Banning a dog based solely on its breed does not.
If dogs are supposed to be our best friends, then we must be theirs. Proper, positive training and thorough socialization are necessary for all dogs, regardless of their breed. It is past time for people to educate themselves about responsibly sharing our lives with dogs and demanding that all dogs are treated with kindness and respect. Blaming a breed of dog is doing neither of us any favors.

Happy Birthday! 10 times Lee Jong Hyun was gorgeous eye candy
Today is CNBlue's Lee Jong Hyun's birthday. The sexy Orange Marmalade star has been busy filming the vampire web comic adaptation, which premieres on DramaFever May 18. This being his birthday, we need some candy, and Lee Jong Hyun has provided plenty of that. So here are 10 times Lee Jong Hyun was eye candy for us.
1. When he sang for us in Gentleman's Dignity.
2. When all he can do is laugh whenever he shows up on Running Man
3. The wet look for Vogue Korea
4. Anytime he picks up a guitar
5. Wearing leather. I think we have his vampire look; what do you think?
6. When he's a Blue Romantic
7. When he gets traditional
8. When he looks bored
9. The wet look again. I love that he is the cover of July in this calendar. July is my birthday month. Yay me!
10. And I saved the best for last: Lee Jong Hyun's chocolate abs.
Happy Birthday Jong Hyun. We wish you the best, and we know you'll do great in Orange Marmalade. You can watch the trailer below:
Wendilynn K is co-blogger of the blog As the Kimchi Turns. She is on the drama clubs for Dear Mom and Orange Marmalade (coming soon). She's also a member of the Dramafever video drama club. You can catch her past DCs here.

By me of course, the Tournament will continue.
I'm having some issues with heat faults in my CPU. I have a temperature monitor in the support software for my motherboard and where it normally runs at a steady 86 – 91 F with spikes to 138 under heavy load it now zooms to 130 at boot and pops at 150 (built in safety factor) under any stress at all.
Highly annoying when you need to visit a lot of sites and capture many URLs.
And performance has degraded to the point I have to reboot after each school. Sometimes I get the chance to save but sometimes not which means I have to do it again.
I don't think it's a conventional virus or malware attack despite visiting a lot of pages that could be compromised by a bored Collegian hacker though I'll run some scans as soon as my system gets stabilized enough to do it. Instead I think that the resident portion of one of my usual programs has gone rogue and I'll have to purge my startup package until I find the culprit.
Any way, what it means to you as a reader is that I'll be down all day up to my eyeballs in debugging before I get to the not inconsiderable task of catching up. You can be assured I'll do it however, my system, while honed, is like a shark in that it only swims forward.
Oh and I'll be taking a brief break to watch every minute of the Lady Huskies' glorious but boring and inevitable victory at 11 am on ESPN 2.
Go Huskies!

I'm about 15 minutes from Goodwill Rd... I could drive out there and look, but chances are, I would have to find a reasonable area and park so I could get out and go look around. Plus by now it wouldve been covered I bet.
On a side note, I saw a 2010+ model white Buick SUV coming out of the plant this morning at 7:30, it was right behind a log truck filled with good sized logs...

CLPrime- so the Orionids hadnt come over the horizon at the time of the sightings and explosion?
1 "meteor" was sighted at 9:28 (if that time can be trusted... the witness specifically stated that they looked at the clock). At that time, the origin of the Orionids, which is just off the extended arm of Orion, was a little below the horizon. Though, meteors can still be seen when the origin is below the horizon...they just have to be traceable back to that origin below the horizon.
2 or 3 were sighted between 10:20 and 10:30. Actually, if I were to hazard a guess, I would guess that 2 objects were observed -- one, a white tail-less object, at about 10:25, and another, described as a red fireball, a couple minutes earlier. The origin of the Orionids at this time was at the horizon.
1 was sighted at about 11:15, just before the explosion, when the origin was a little above the horizon.
All but the last of these objects were seen going from West to East. That means they were heading toward the point where the Orionids come from, when they should have been originating from that direction. Whatever they were, they could not have been Orionid meteors.
The object at 11:15 had no reported direction, so we can't say if that was an Orionid or not.
1 final object was seen just after the explosion in a direction and location consistent with an Orionid meteor.
And we musn't forget the person in Longview, Texas, who reported hearing something "zooming" over their house at the time these "meteors" were being sighted.
At least ten powerful explosions Monday night at Camp Minden after a meteor shower have raised many questions, including whether Louisiana's sinkhole area aquifer explosive-level methane could have traveled north where hit by a meteorite causing the blasts, a possibility according to a physicist and an astrophysicist interviewed by Deborah Dupré Friday. Heavier meteor showers are predicted this weekend.
"If there is enough methane in the air, just about anything (like a rock hitting another rock, causing a spark) could ignite explosions," physicist Steve Knudsen said in an email Friday.
According to a Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality map, Lake Bisteneau is part of the same water system as the sinkhole area where methane has reached explosive level and is life-threatening, according to officials.
A meteor hitting methane could have caused the Camp Minden explosions, but authorities have not publicly released this critically important information. The heaviest of meteorite showers are predicted this weekend.
Burn Ban: Lake Bistineau October 15, 2012 Staff Reports . The Webster Parish Police Jury and Webster Parish Office of Homeland Security have issued a Burn Ban for the Lake Bistineau Lake Bed effective immediately. All camp fires, trash fires, and any other open flames are prohibited on the Lake Bed of Lake Bistineau in Webster Parish. The ban will be in effect until further notice.
Officials advised the Assumption Parish President on Thursday that Bayou Corne sinkhole area has high levels of methane in nearby water wells, posing risks to health, fire and explosion and that residents need to heed the mandatory evacuation order. That day, parish officials postponed Saturday's resident briefing with no explanation.
At approximately 8 a.m. on Friday morning personnel at Camp Minden reported feeling a strong shockwave followed by a loud boom. Approximately two minutes later, another shockwave and a second boom were reported. These reports started the third consecutive response exercise conducted by Camp Minden and Homeland Security.

I was drawn to a couple books at Borders this weekend. I wanted to purchase 10 but limited myself to two. I knew llama llama mad at mama was a must have after reading about it at A Year of Reading. My class loved the first book llama llama red pajama and I can't wait to read Mad at Mama tomorrow.
I also purchased a book called Aaaarrgghh! Spider! I was drawn to the cover which has a glittery web from which a spider, the main character in the story, hangs. I opened the book up immediately was happy to find the story is told by the spider. I also loved the pictures and so did my own children. We found ourselves looking for the "real" pictures within the cartoon type drawings. It reminded me a bit of the illustrating techniques used by Doreen Cronin (Bounce) and Mo Willems (Knufflebunny). The first page spread appears upside down as the spider sits on the ceiling explaining how he wants to be a real family pet. The spider tries what he thinks are clever ways to demonstrate he would make a great family pet. Each time he appears in a new part of the house, the family screams "Aaaarrgghh! Spider! Out you go!" The little girl in the story finally notices the sparkly webs the spider resorts to making in the backyard and the family adopts him for a pet. This is where I felt the story lost me a bit. The spider becomes a real pet and goes everywhere with the family. I did come back to enjoy the ending when the spider feels such a part of the family he invites in all his friends inside and the story ends similarly to how it begins with "Aaaarrgghh! Spiders!

I'm going to check these titles out. I'm especially intersted in the the spider one. Every other October I do a spider-themed month of stories, and I'm always looking for good ones. I've noticed this fall season how obsessed I have become with all things spiders... I am going to be scouring all the post-Halloween sales for deals on spider decorations!

Uncle Walker's Amber Restorative / Spirit Lake
Amid the abundance of indie rock and Americana folk that (somewhat) defines Portland's music scene these days, Spirit Lake has emerged to offer the sweat, the swagger and the fuel of popular rock 'n' roll spiked with a range of other genres.
The group's debut full-length album, "Uncle Walker's Amber Restorative," has a foundation in the the proto-punk sound of the late 60s and early 70s. It's arty, but primitive. It swings with a combination of blues, pop and rock like The Rolling Stones (especially "My My My" and "Walk Back to L.A."), then slowly grinds countrified distortion into its melodies.
The band toes the line between psychedelic and country on the ballads "Hold Your Own" and "Risk/Reward," like Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Elsewhere, the band injects moments of grunge, metal and T-Rex-ish glam into the mix, creating a blend that's smooth but with a kick, kind of like the album's namesake (a Johnny Walker product).
Overall, it's an eclectic set of Brit and American influences that Spirit Lake laid down on its debut. But as the songs course over a multitude of terrains, you realize no matter the components in this blend, in the end it goes down like good rock 'n' roll should.
Spirit Lake plays with Wes Phillips on Saturday at the Wildwood Hotel in Willamina. Music begins at 9 p.m. For more info, call 503-876-7100.

Arno Carstens and Ard Matthews Rocks Ballito
- Written by Press Release
- Published in News
Glorious weather was the order of the day for a very special version of the Marriott Ballito Beats Music Concert that took place this past Sunday afternoon. South African music legends Ard Matthews and Arno Carstens teamed up on stage for the very first time, playing an intimate and entertaining set to eager fans at Sugar Rush Park in Ballito.
Just over 1 200 North Coast locals got to enjoy the unmistakable sounds of two of South Africa's biggest musical legends performing some of their old favourites together in a collaboration that had the crowd singing along, up on their feet and enjoying top quality entertainment with their loved ones. With songs like 'Sugar Man', 'What He Means' and 'Another Universe', it was a musical treat for fans of all ages.
The talented Seb Goldswain opened the show with a set that merged jazz with banjo-sounding country melodies and an array of acoustic effects. Goldswain brought a fresh and unique sound to the grassy lawns of Sugar Rush Park where fans mingled with friends and families, enjoying picnics and the warm sunshine.
"Sunday's show was a great success. With a combined musical expertise that spans 35 years, the collaboration of Ard Matthews and Arno Carstens created a really unique show for our fans and we're thrilled that our final show for the year was such a crowd pleaser," says Marriott Ballito Beats Series Director Stu Berry. "We're so grateful to everyone who came out to the concert on Sunday, and to all our other shows this year. Spending time outdoors with family and friends is important to the local community, and it reaffirms our commitment to bringing the very best family entertainment to Ballito."

A masculine apartment on the East Coast
An East Coast condo on Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is the perfect location for a modern, masculine bachelor pad with a touch of vintage. The zesty pop of orange gives the place a sense of fun and creates a bright, happy and casual environment. The house is full of inexpensive, fun quirky ideas - like the open metal shelving and the orange chandelier in the kitchen. It just goes to prove a little bit of imagination can go a long way ... how cute are those framed flippers!

Filing a small claims case can be a trying time. If you have a dispute with someone you would like a court to settle, you must notify the individual that you have filed a claim. An affidavit of service is a document that certifies the defendant has been notified of a summons, writ or process. This is called service of process. A defendant must be notified in person by someone other than a party of the dispute. A member of the defendant's household who is 18 or older can receive service on behalf of the defendant. The affidavit of service certifies the date and time the party was notified. The plaintiff must provide the defendant with notification. There are several methods for filing an affidavit of service.
Service by the Sheriff's Office
Find out if your county will accept a fee for sending the sheriff to execute service. If the defendant lives in your county, you may contact the sheriff in your district. If not, you will need to contact the sheriff in the county where the defendant resides.
Provide the sheriff with as much information as you can about the defendant. This will include such things as sex, race, height, weight, hair color, and birth date. Provide the sheriff with the defendant's last known home and work address and information about the defendant's vehicle.
Contact the clerk's office and ask for the "Sheriff's Return of Service." Service of process is only valid if the defendant was notified in person. If the sheriff successfully located the individual, this report will indicate that.
Service by a Private Party
Contact a private process server to secure their services. You should contact the server as soon as possible to begin the process. If the defendant lives in another county, you may have to hire a process server in the county of residence.
Provide the process server with pertinent information required for locating the defendant.This will include such things as sex, race, height, weight, hair color, and birth date. Include the defendant's last known home and work address and information about the defendant's vehicle.

|Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a technique that has been largely used by distributed services. This technique, now more and more used in the context of High-Performance Computing (HPC), allows the execution of routines to be delegated to remote nodes, which can be set aside and dedicated to specific tasks. However, existing RPC frameworks assume a sockets based network interface (usually on top of TCP/IP) which is not appropriate for HPC systems, as this API does not typically map well to the native network transport used on those systems, resulting in lower network performance. In addition, existing RPC frameworks often do not support handling large data arguments, such as those found in read or write calls. We present in this paper an asynchronous RPC interface specifically designed for use in HPC systems that allows asynchronous transfer of parameters and execution requests and direct support of large data arguments. The interface is generic to allow any function call to be shipped. Additionally, the network implementation is abstracted, allowing easy porting to future systems and efficient use of existing native transport mechanisms.

Basata supports social development and ecotourism in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
Focus: Ecotourism, Environment, Waste Management
Geographic Area of Impact: Egypt, South Sinai
Model: Hybrid Non-Profit
Number of Direct Beneficiaries: 65,000 (2010)
Annual Budget: US$ 500,000 (2010)
Percentage Earned Revenue: 25%
Recognition: Social Entrepreneur of the Year, Egypt, 2008
Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and Gulf of Aqaba are particularly vulnerable regions, where the consequences of massive tourism in Sharm El Sheikh and Dahab have had a dramatic impact on both land and sea. From overflowing landfills, hazardous disposal of trash or dumping into the sea, little attention has been paid to waste management and environmental protection. Once these lands were almost solely inhabited by about 15,000 Bedouins, who are now completely omitted from any tourism plans by developers; yet they suffer from the impacts, such as loss of livestock to disease from rubbish dumps.
Innovation and Activities
Sherif El Ghamrawy has fought relentlessly for the sustainability and conservation of Egypt's natural resources. He is the founder of Basata, Egypt's first ecolodge, located on the Red Sea just north of Nuweiba on the Sinai Peninsula. The basic premise of Basata is respect for the environment through cultural diversity and communication.
As commercial development along the Red Sea coastline progressed, so did the need for sensible waste management as well as social and environmental protection. As a result, El Ghamrawy established Hemaya, a local NGO whose purpose is to monitor, regulate and provide awareness of safe waste disposal procedures for the lodge and area.
Hemaya collects the waste of approximately 60,000 people from hotels and camps, households and city streets in the towns of Taba, Nuweiba and Dahab. The collected waste is then sorted: organic material is distributed among the Bedouins as cattle feed, and non-organic waste is packed, shredded or pressed and sent to Cairo for recycling. Only 15% of the collected waste goes to landfills. Half of the income generated from the sale of the recycled waste is distributed among the workers.
Hemaya has expanded its community involvement by providing services related to education and healthcare. In addition, Hemaya campaigns to stop the construction of a 750 MW power plant in Nuweiba, which poses a threat to the environment and local community. In conjunction with local authorities Hemaya has hired local Bedouins as rangers to protect the coral reef and to prevent illegal fishing.
The Entrepreneur
Sherif El Ghamrawy was born in Giza, Egypt, and attended the German School of Cairo. He graduated from Cairo University with a degree in civil engineering, but his passion for the environment and conserving Egypt's natural resources led him to create Basata Ecolodge and Hemaya. He has also worked tirelessly to prevent the construction of a power plant in Nuweiba, which could destroy the natural beauty of the region. El Ghamrawy has received numerous awards for promoting ecotourism and waste management programmes, including the World Travel Market Award for best project in the marine environment. He is also an Ashoka Fellow.

Last week I poked a little fun at President Donald Trump. Quite frankly, he's such a fun target I simply can't resist. It's like a shooting gallery at a fair, as more people shoot the targets, the squirrel grabs the acorn or the groundhog pops its head out of the hole. One chuckles and keeps shooting.
It's quite an enjoyable game the media is playing with the president. He lacks the maturity to put an end to it by remaining above it. They pick a little, and then his response supplies more material at which they can pick.
My little shot at the president, however, isn't a reflection of my views regarding illegal immigration.
I don't take issue with rounding up illegal aliens and shipping them back to the places from whence they came. I'm in agreement with the president on the simplest terms of the matter. If a person is not here legally, our country absolutely has the right to ship the individual back.
My disagreement with the president lies in the realm of priorities.
It seems like everyday I read the national news there's a story about some illegal alien getting picked up by authorities. Of course, a biased national media sings a sob story about the guy (or gal) being a good person who has kids who are American citizens. This person usually has never committed a crime.
But wait. He or she did. If the individual is here illegally, his or her very existence within the confines of the borders of our country is illegal. Thus, he or she is a criminal.
The sob story the national media sings is equivalent to saying, "Sure, he robbed the bank, but he is a good guy with kids."
That's hogwash, but I stated all of that simply to ask this. I want everybody to know I'm not just some soft-handed liberal whining because our government is picking on criminals.
Why has the president made this a priority?
I remember the campaigns a little bit. Trump talked a lot about rooting out illegal immigrants. He also spoke at length regarding fixes for the economy.
However, what has Trump achieved?
He has issued some executive orders, and some of the most notable regard immigration. He has neither introduced nor signed any major legislation, and some of the orders are tied up in court already.
Where is a plan to replace Obamacare?
What I'm pointing out is Trump was a man without a plan, and he remains a man without a plan. When asked on the campaign trail how he would achieve any goals, his reply was he would simply do something "huge" or would "make America great again."
He was going to replace the Affordable Care Act with something better, but we have yet to see what that better plan is. Instead, he seems to be letting Congress — part of the establishment against which he ran — lead the way on the matter.
But he's really put the heat on illegals in this country. Many are scared; their existence here is threatened. Again, I don't oppose sending somebody who is here illegally packing.
However, where do we stand as a country in this world in which we live? With questions regarding the president's ties to Russia, North Korea launching missiles in Japan's vicinity and Iran terrorizing naval vessels, our nation looks as weak as ever in the realm of national security.
Trump seemed to believe in the campaign that isolationism was the answer, but we see where that gets us. When countries in hot spots around the world see the U.S. butting out, they will naturally test the waters — or the missiles.
Back to immigration, however. My concern, as it is with everything that spills from the president's mouth or onto the keyboard of his smartphone, is that it is half thought out.
Has Trump considered what to do with anchor babies? It's easy to say, "Send them back with their parents," and I'm not necessarily opposed to that answer. However, our laws must be changed to reflect that.
And since that change hasn't been made, what do we do with them in the meantime? Do our taxpayers foot the bill for the flood of these children into the foster care programs of the state?
Also, who will pick the tomatoes? That's a serious question, and it's an important one for our economy and our very way of life.
When Alabama cracked down on hiring illegal immigrants in 2011, multiple media outlets reported crops rotting in the fields, as good, hard-working Americans opted against the low-paying and back-breaking labor.
I'm sure some of those Americans chose instead to draw from social programs. That's an entirely different matter for another column though.
The president is simply using these knee-jerk fixes to immigration as a means to appease his base. He's not thinking about the long-term.
Again, I'm not opposed to sending illegals packing, but I wish the president would go back and grab the horse before he drags the cart and our country down this road.

Scott Collins's famous security axiom states, "You should be exactly as paranoid as it is cost-effective to be." In other words, you need to expend an appropriate amount of effort to protect valuable network and data assets, just as you protect material assets such as your house. And your security efforts need to consider the whole picture—if you make your house of balsa wood, an expensive lock on the front door won't help.
In terms of the data they hold, your Exchange Server systems are probably among your company's most precious possessions. To effectively protect these servers, begin by understanding potential threats: who might decide to attack your mail system, where an attack might originate, what form it might take, and how it might penetrate your defenses. Then, familiarize yourself with the security tools at your disposal and decide which tools can best defend your systems.
Take the Lead
The following strategies require that you take active responsibility for measuring your network's security posture and fixing its shortcomings, both of which can have a big effect on Exchange Server security. (For example, several Denial of Service—DoS—attacks against Windows NT depend on open remote procedure call—RPC—ports. If your Exchange Server system is accessible from the Internet, you need to know whether the RPC ports are open on the firewall and your Exchange Server box. You need to have a firewall between your Exchange Server machine and the outside world, and you need to properly configure the firewall to pass only the ports you need.) If you aren't directly involved with security, go to your company's security folks and explain that because email is a crucial service, you want to secure your systems as much as possible.
Know the Enemy
One of the phrases insurance agents most frequently hear is, "That won't happen to me." The number-one myth of computer security is disturbingly similar: Most people assume that attackers are external entities that focus their efforts only on high-profile targets such as Microsoft or NASA.
In fact, the biggest source of attempts to penetrate corporate networks is corporate employees. Another common source of attacks is script kiddies or anklebiters—relatively unskilled but malicious attackers who pick sites at random, scan blocks of IP address ranges, then probe specific machines to see what vulnerabilities they can find. As opposed to efforts to steal data, most of these assaults are DoS attacks that range from flooding your Internet connection with bogus packets to actively attempting to destroy data on your servers. (The commonly reported attacks that involve defacement of an organization's Web pages are a DoS subspecies, most often the results of flaws in file-sharing security.) Exchange Server systems are most vulnerable to DoS attacks that target the underlying OS; however, a savvy attacker who can capture authentication credentials can use them to read messages for the mailboxes belonging to those credentials.
Of course, if your organization has a high profile, your risk of becoming a target does multiply. Malicious entities are more likely to single out your company for the publicity value of cracking your network or for access to your network's valuable data. Take a few minutes to think about whether your organization has information that someone might want to steal or compromise or whether a malicious attacker might be particularly interested in your servers. This line of thought will give you an idea of the types of threats—internal, random, or targeted—you might face.
Think Like a Thief
Preventing an attack is better than reacting to one. In 1994, Dan Farmer (a computer-security legend) wrote a highly controversial and influential paper titled "Improving the Security of Your Site by Breaking Into it." Farmer's theory stated that to secure your network, you should use the same software and methods as an attacker—along the lines of acting like a safecracker to measure the strength of a bank safe. Predictably, this approach wasn't too popular in corporate America, but since then the security community has accepted Farmer's essential idea as a valid way to test system security—provided you have permission. Randal Schwartz, a noted Perl expert and UNIX administrator, lost his job and was arrested for performing this type of security analysis on a customer without permission. (See http://www.lightlink.com/spacenka/fors for details about this cautionary tale.)
The best way to find vulnerabilities in your network is to use the tools and thought processes that an attacker would use and fix security weaknesses as you go. Look for vulnerabilities on a test system first. If you configure the test servers identically to your production machines, such a test is a great way to find problems without involving your production resources. The bad guys will find whatever openings you don't find, so you need to thoroughly search for and fix holes.
To help you in your task, you can use network monitoring and scanning tools such as Internet Security Systems' RealSecure product lines. Go to http://www .WindowsITsecurity.com for a good place to start learning about these tools. I also recommend that you subscribe to the Microsoft security notification service at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/notify.asp.
Stop Trouble Before It Starts
After you've analyzed potential threats and holes in your network, you should assess whether you're adequately using the security tools you already have. Of course, if an attack comes from within your network, fancy tools to protect your external perimeter will go only so far. You should always put your Exchange Server machine in a restricted-access location and lock the server's console when you're away from it. And you might consider the built-in security features of Exchange Server and your OS. Windows 2000, NT, Exchange 2000 Server, and Exchange Server 5.5 all have some level of security protection that you can put into place, often with minimal overhead.
By default, anyone on your network can read SMTP traffic that crosses the network because SMTP sends messages and authentication in clear text. Both Exchange 2000 and Exchange Server 5.5 let you use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt SMTP traffic as it passes between mail servers, although a few limitations exist. (You can use SSL only when both servers support SSL, and it doesn't provide authentication between servers.) Using SSL on your internal network might seem like overkill, but many companies combine SSL with internal firewalls to limit the risk of information leaks. Enabling SSL in Exchange Server 5.5 is easy.
- Open Exchange Administrator, right-click the Internet Mail Service (IMS), and choose Properties.
- Go to the Security tab. This tab lists each Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for which you've defined a security policy; your list most likely will contain a single entry named <Default>.
- Select the domain for which you want to modify the security policy, then click Edit. The Edit E-Mail Domain security information dialog box appears.
- Select SASL/SSL security. Make sure to select the SSL encryption check box.
- Click OK.
Exchange 2000 uses the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, which is based on and interoperable with SSL. Enabling TLS for Exchange 2000 is similar to enabling SSL for Exchange Server 5.5.
- Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Exchange System Manager snap-in and navigate to the SMTP virtual server for which you want to turn on TLS.
- Right-click the virtual server and choose Properties to open the Properties dialog box.
- Go to the Access tab.
- Click Authentication. Make sure to select the Enable SSL client authentication check box.
- Go to the Delivery tab and click Outbound Security.
- Select the TLS encryption check box.
- Click OK.
Turning on SSL (or TLS) protects outbound messages (i.e., messages leaving the server through SMTP) but doesn't protect traffic traveling from clients—Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA), POP3, and IMAP4 in particular—to the server. To fix this problem, you can enable the use of SSL with OWA, and you can suggest that POP3 or IMAP4 users use a client (e.g., Microsoft Outlook Express) that supports the use of SSL with POP3 and IMAP4.
If you want to protect network traffic between clients and servers and you're using Win2K, you can use the IP Security (IPSec) protocol to shield all TCP/IP traffic. Unlike SSL, IPSec is transparent to applications, so you don't need to change any Exchange Server settings to use it. And if the client supports IPSec, you get end-to-end traffic encryption. Of course, you first need to enable IPSec, and your network (including routers and firewalls) must permit it to pass. (For details about using IPSec, see Paula Sharick, "Use IPSec to Protect Your LAN Resources," October 2000.)
For Your Eyes Only
Your messaging system faces a slightly more insidious danger than outright attacks: people who read other people's messages. By and large, this is a personnel problem rather than a technical problem, and it isn't always malicious. (Messages that end up bouncing to the postmaster mailbox are a rich source of amusement for administrators at many sites.) However, you can apply technology to limit the chances of this type of snooping.
You often have legitimate reasons to grant a user access to another user's mailbox. For example, when you use Outlook for calendaring, you open other users' calendars. This action causes the system to generate event ID 1016 in the Application log. Any tool that opens a user's mailbox (e.g., Messaging API—MAPI—virus scanners, brick-level backup tools) will generate the same event. Your company's legal or human resources (HR) department might also have reason to monitor specific mailboxes.
In Exchange Server 5.5, the site service account permits unfettered access to all mailboxes on a server. Whoever has access to the site service account name and password can log on and read the contents of any mailbox—without leaving any sign that he or she did so. You probably don't want to permit this broad behavior on your network. Because the site service account is so powerful, choose a strong password and limit access to the account. I also recommend that you monitor the Security log to ensure that the account is being used properly.
Although you could use the account to provide access to a specific mailbox's contents, doing so increases the likelihood that the account will be compromised. A better solution is to grant someone else permissions to the mailbox in question (bearing in mind that this action might cause the alternate recipient to generate return receipts, potentially telling the world that someone other than the recipient is reading the mail). Or you can use message journaling to copy all mail traffic for that mailbox to another mailbox or public folder, from which a designated user can then inspect the messages. (I'll discuss journaling in the next column.)
Exchange 2000 tightens the site service account loophole considerably; the site service account no longer exists, and the Administrator account and the Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins groups are explicitly denied access to individual mailboxes. (See the Microsoft article "XADM: How to Get Service Account Access to All Mailboxes in Exchange 2000" at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q262/0/54.asp for instructions about how to give snooping power to a designated account.) You can also use message journaling in Exchange 2000.
Run, Don't Walk
Next time, I'll discuss related security topics, including the best way to protect your Exchange Server machines and clients against viruses. In the meantime, I suggest that you immediately go to Microsoft's security site (http://www .microsoft.com/technet/security), read the NT security checklists, and evaluate how your current preparations stack up. Also, consider reading a good security book, such as Stefan Norberg's Securing Windows NT/2000 Servers for the Internet (O'Reilly, 2000) or Michael Howard's Designing Secure Web-Based Applications for Microsoft Windows 2000 (Microsoft Press, 2000). For a great general introduction to network security, check out Bruce Schneier's Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World (John Wiley & Sons, 2000). The time you spend researching security now might save you from major problems later.

I Am
I am the Great Spirit who thrives on my own blessings
I hunger for justice of my own damaged children.
I am the Great Eagle that watched as my children were slaughtered and driven from their lands,
Which I blessed many times for them.
My spirit was there in the Drum
...as songs were sung for me, and my form took shape from the smoke of the tobacco
...when you offered the Pipe of Peace, in my name.
I have not left you my children,
I have felt your pain and the pain of your ancestors.
I wept when you were disgraced.
I bled when you went into battle against your oppressors, and I mourned until I could no longer stand the pain in my heart
...at the Trail of Tears.
Your numbers dwindled from sickness and you were driven to the Reservations, and now my children you are being bleached from society like sands on a lowly beach
...and cannot remember who you are.
Like a wounded Eagle that could not take to flight
You were weakened and your spirit left you like a dying ember
From a rain soaked fire.
Go then and take all the gifts I have given to you.
Take the Holy Pipe of Peace, the Longbow, the blessed bows of the Cedar, the customs, traditions and countless stories I have whispered to you in your dreams.
Teach these things to your children and to those of you who were bleached from society and don't remember who they are.
Don't ever forget my children that the Great Spirit is here with you
...whenever you hear me whisper in the wind
...whenever you look up and see the Great Eagle soaring the thermals I set before him
...and whenever you see the bright sun shining over the Great Rivers and Streams that I carved out for you
know that I am with you.
and with every prayer and blessing I will bless you and write your destiny in my heart.

What is Gingivitis? Types, Chronic and ANUG, Symptoms, Causes
Gingivitis is the medical term for inflammation of the gums (gingiva), which is a mild form of gum disease, usually caused by a bacterial infection as a result of plaque formation.
Types of Gingivitis
Gingivitis may be of two types, depending upon the severity of the condition.
Chronic Gingivitis
Chronic gingivitis is the more common type of gingivitis and is closely linked to inadequate oral hygiene. In most cases, a person is unaware that they have chronic gingivitis and do not seek medical treatment until the symptoms become pronounced.
Slight bleeding and mild swelling of the gums are the first signs and symptoms. If attended to in the early stages, gingivitis may be totally reversible with simple measures such as brushing, flossing and cleaning.
Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis (ANUG)
The other form of gingivitis is known as acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG), Vincent's stomatitis, or trench mouth. It is rarely seen these days.
ANUG is more likely to develop in a person with an impaired immune system or in those with severe malnutrition. This is a more acute and invasive form of gingivitis which may cause foul-smelling breath (halitosis), fever and painful gums in addition to other symptoms.
ANUG may develop in people with a history of gingivitis who experience a stressful event and is more common in smokers than in non-smokers.
Causes and Risks of Gingivitis
- Gingivitis is most commonly caused by long-term effects of plaque deposition, usually due to inadequate oral hygiene.
- Gum injury due to any cause. This may include extremely vigorous brushing or flossing.
- Gum irritation caused by misaligned teeth, ill-fitting crowns, dentures, bridges, and braces, or rough edges of fillings. These may also contribute to plaque deposition and difficulty in plaque removal.
- Many types of medication have been associated with gingivitis, including contraceptive pills, phenytoin (drug to control seizures), and heavy metals such as bismuth and lead.
- Hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause.
- Immuno-compromised conditions, as in AIDS or cancer.
- Gingivitis may be the first sign of disease in about 25% of children suffering from leukemia.
- Chronic debilitating disease.
- Uncontrolled diabetes.
- Habits such as smoking or chewing tobacco.
- Severe malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies can cause gingivitis. Examples – scurvy (due to vitamin C deficiency) and pellagra (due to niacin deficiency).
- Gingivitis due to viral infections, such as acute herpetic gingivostomatitis caused by herpes virus.
- Fungal infections may cause gingivitis by overgrowth of fungi, such as Candida albicans in the mouth, resulting in candidiasis or thrush.
- Gingivitis may occur in the gums surrounding the crown of an impacted tooth (a tooth that has not fully erupted). This condition, called pericoronitis, occurs more frequently with the wisdom teeth.
- Blood dyscrasias.
- Allergic reactions.
Pathophysiology of Gingivitis
Less than adequate oral hygiene forms the basis of almost all types of gingivitis, compounded with bacterial invasion. Even after removal by brushing, plaque usually forms again within 24 hours. Plaque build-up can be avoided by brushing and flossing regularly.
Plaque remaining on the teeth for more than 2 or 3 days can harden under the gum line and form tartar, which is more difficult to remove. The marginal gingiva is involved in most types of gingivitis, where there is accumulation of microbial plaques.
Within 4 to 5 days of plaque accumulation there is an acute inflammatory response which causes an increase in gingival fluid and neutrophils. Fibrin deposition and collagen destruction occurs at this stage. Lymohocytic infiltration occurs in about a week's time leading to formation of lesions. An increase in monocytes and plasma cells may be noted at this time.
Without treatment, the lesions may become chronic. Plasma cells and B lymphocytes will be present at this stage. With further progression of the condition, pockets are formed between the gums and the teeth. These pockets cause separation of the tooth from the gums and may bleed while brushing or flossing. With time, the ligaments and bone supporting the tooth are gradually destroyed.
If still left untreated, the tooth will ultimately fall out.
In case of ANUG, there is more acute involvement of tissues. Local tissue destruction is more rapid, along with local and systemic spread of infection. ANUG may be caused by organisms such as Prevotella intermedia, alpha-hemolytic Streptococci, Actinomyces species, or different types of oral Spirochetes.
Symptoms of Chronic Gingivitis
- Red, swollen gums
- Gums may be tender to touch
- Gums that bleed easily on brushing or flossing
- Chronic bad breath
- Sensitive teeth
Symptoms of ANUG
- Infected, painful gums
- Bleeding gums, even on the slightest touch
- Redness and swelling of gums
- A whitish or grey film (pseudomembrane) over the gums
- Mouth sores
- Halitosis or bad breath
- Bad taste in the mouth
- Pain during biting or swallowing
- Generalized weakness
- Lymph node swelling of the head, neck or jaw
- Fever

"Against All Odds" describes how the Morgan Committee rejects the recommendations of the Walker Commission, the Senate debates the issues for two weeks, and the explosion of Mt.

A few years ago, I had an unbelievable experience that was an eye-opener for me. I was working with numerous immigrant groups and in a year that I interacted with them, I found myself invariably fascinated by their never-say-die spirit, determination and strength.
The popular belief is that the challenges encountered by immigrants are over once they move to the country and I unquestionably believed same. And this view was shared by the majority of the individuals I conversed with. I discovered, though, that this is not the actuality. Immigrants are challenged with many hurdles once they set foot on foreign shores.
Moving to a new country brings along a different set of challenges, irrespective of your background, and there are some that are general experiences for migrants around the world. Although immigrants may confront some, or all of these problems, there are countries which provide with an array of provisions that can facilitate the transition smoother.
It's not a surprise that dialect heads the rundown of issues confronting settlers to any nation. The inability to interact and relate to surroundings undeniably influences every aspect of life right from work life and approaching immigration lawyers in Canada to day to day tasks such as purchasing groceries. Therefore, studying a native language is crucial. In countries such as the US and Canada, there is a host of languages such as Spanish and French which are spoken.
If you are not well-versed with the English language but speak and write French fluently, Canada is an ideal alternative for you. Irrespective of the country you opt for, learning at least one official language in that country is necessary. That is precisely where regional or state organisations can guide you with programs on language and culture. Nevertheless, your native language can also be an asset for you as in an increasingly international marketplace, businesses may consider your multi-lingual abilities while selecting you for a particular job profile.
One of the greatest challenges immigrant parents face is parenting and rearing their kids in a different, unknown culture. Guardians regularly notice that their wards instantly get accustomed to the country's traditions which may be in conflict with their own culture. Besides that, children usually manage to get acquainted with English quicker than their parents. That places the parent-child dynamic in a jeopardy.
As far as education is concerned, parents frequently complain about their kids not being able to keep up in school. There are also instances of browbeating and racial discrimination due to the cultural disparity. For children who are not fluent in English, it can be an overwhelming task to keep up. To worsen the problems, parents may not have the knowledge or communication skills to support their children, and so they are unable to effectively convey the problems to the teachers.
Regardless of all of these difficulties, the individuals I worked with were amazingly strong and appreciative of the chance to lead a balanced and healthy life in another country.
Numerous immigrants, especially undocumented, still are sceptical to interact with the locals. The least we can do for them is to make them comfortable and help them as much as possible. I'm sure they will have some astonishing experiences to share.

New Orleans, LA (PRWEB) November 21, 2013
New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity (NOAHH) dedicated its 500th new construction home located at 2525 Delachaise in New Orleans for Denise Brown's family on Friday, November 15, 2013.
Attending the event were Jasmine Haralson of NORA and Julius Feltus, Director of Constituent Services for City Councilperson Latoya Cantrell, in whose district Brown's house is located. Feltus presented Brown with a proclamation from the entire city council.
"This is the best part of the Habitat program," said Jim Pate, Executive Director, NOAHH. "All of the hard work and sweat pays off, especially for our homeowners. Our affiliate is celebrating not just Denise Brown's new home, but 30 years of these moments."
Brown is mother to two daughters. Monetiaka is studying Elementary Education at Xavier University, and Erica is an athlete at Lusher Charter School. Even though Brown had completed her sweat equity—the hours partner families work in lieu of down payments—at her wall raising ceremony in June, but she still found time to help with the construction of her home.
"I am so proud to give my daughters a home to call their own," stated Denise Brown, New Orleans Habitat for Humanity Partner Family. "This is a dream come true for our family."
NOAHH's 500th home since its inception in 1983, this house is a major benchmark for the affiliate and the city. At the wall raising ceremony for the home, NOAHH unveiled a letter of commitment to New Orleans, confirming that that the first 30 years were only the beginning of the affiliate's work. NOAHH's history with the city is one of constant growth, a trend which NOAHH intends to continue.
As an illustration of how far the affiliate has come, the lot, which was purchased from New Orleans Redevelopment Authority (NORA), is located only a block away from the first home NOAHH constructed post-Katrina. In the last 8 years, over 400 new homes have been built, combining for a total of 500 in 30 years.
In addition to 500 newly constructed homes, NOAHH has left a lasting mark on the city many times over. Since Hurricane Katrina amplified the needs of the area and galvanized the affiliate, it has contributed over $307 million in local economic impact, created 3,434 jobs (from 2006 to 2012), gutted 2,400 homes, rehabbed over 230 homes, and completed dozens of A Brush with Kindness projects. NOAHH has also expanded our programs to address other factors that contribute to the poverty housing. In recent years, NOAHH has begun to partner with local organizations to create urban gardens on unused Habitat lots, help with local schools on service learning initiatives and art receptions, and focus on neighborhood clean up initiatives during the spring.
New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity, an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization. NOAHH builds new houses in partnership with sponsors, volunteers, communities, and homeowner families to eliminate poverty housing in the New Orleans area while serving as a catalyst to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Since its inception in 1983 NOAHH has built 500 new homes for low-income families in need of adequate shelter. NOAHH plans to continue to build homes in Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, St. Charles and Plaquemines Parishes. http://www.habitat-nola.org

BARRIE, Ontario -- In a land of snow and ice it's easy to forget that many of Canada's ski destinations are often overlooked as golf options.
Horseshoe Valley has been known as a skiing spot for years -- one of the Greater Toronto Area's most accessible in an elevation-challenged province -- but it's probably a better golf and resort destination. That's because two 18-hole courses and Horseshoe Resort's emerging reputation as an 'adventure' hangout have turned it into a handy destination for both day-trippers and holidaymakers.
Intersected by Horseshoe Valley Road, the resort just outside Barrie, Ontario, has two golf courses -- one a stalwart for decades, the other now open for about 10 years and maturing nicely -- on a property that offers its guests and the public much more than just golf.
Horseshoe Resort's Valley Course
The first 18 holes make up the Valley Course. It starts out literally at the foot of one of the ski hills and has a reputation for its great conditioning and intelligent but tough design. It's not unfair, but the Valley forces players to be accurate off the tee; any perception that the course plays leisurely due to its relatively short length of 6,204 yards (par 70) is a flawed approach.
Your strategy for playing the Valley should be to use an iron off the tee when necessary and take your medicine when you get into trouble. There is no shame in taking a bogey knowing a double or a dreaded 'other' was a distinct possibility if not for common sense winning the day.
Wind is another tricky variable on the Valley. It may seem relatively benign but as soon as your ball ascends above the thick canopy of trees, you could be in for a surprise.
The Valley has one of the best finishing holes in the area -- a sharp, left-turning par 5 with a tee box perched at the highest point on the course. The view from here is lovely, just like your chance at a birdie or eagle will be if you cut the corner over the trees at the correct angle and taken proper account of the aforementioned wind.
Horseshoe Resort's Highlands Course
Further up Horseshoe Valley Road, the Highlands Course has been open for a few years now and is longer at 6,901 yards from the tips, with more room to take chances off the tee without sacrificing much of a scenic feel still evident on many holes.
There's plenty of variety as you cut your way through the property overlooking the valley below, and like its Valley counterpart down the road, the Highlands is in outstanding shape.
On the back, the Highlands layout has benefited enormously from the maturing that has taken place since it opened. The finishing stretch is a terrific risk-reward trio of two par 4s and a par 5. The par-4 14th is the best hole on the course, a straight-ahead 438-yard gem that forces you to hit it right-center off the fairway as everything kicks left if you get caught on the wrong side of the slope.
The Highlands was the venue the Canadian Tour twice held its season-ending championship a few years back. Before that, the Valley has been the site of many AJGA events, meaning both golf courses at Horseshoe Resort have seen many present-day stars from both the LPGA and PGA tours pass through in the relatively recent past.
Horseshoe Resort off course
Adrenaline junkies have always taken a liking to Horseshoe Resort, but many related pursuits are available to those who don't necessarily crave it but want to test their nerve while on vacation. The resort has done a wonderful job at bridging the gap between dedicated thrill-seekers (who still flock to the area) and weekend warriors and vacationers in the mood to have their heart rate pick-up without having the bejesus scared out of them. Treetop climbing, mountain biking and motorized off-roading are available in abundance. If you really want to hit your adrenaline sweet spot, the Zip Flyer is a must. You go up the chairlift and fly over the valley at speeds of up to 45 km/h while descending more than 2,000 feet.
Who knew simple gravity could be so much fun?
Horseshoe Resort's overall strength is that it's just a good spot to hang out. Whether it's playing golf, lounging in one of the three restaurant/bars on the property, visiting the spa or being fortunate enough to reside in one of the immaculate homes that dot the fairways around both golf courses, Horseshoe Resort just makes you feel relaxed no matter what it is you're doing -- unless you've just taken a double, or flying through the air above the treetops, of course.

A twisted Long Island rapist who forced his victim to wear an assortment of panties during a brutal gunpoint attack last year plotted to have her murdered from prison so she couldn't testify at trial, prosecutors said today.
Patrick O'Sullivan, 21, of East Moriches, entered a posh Stony Brook home last year through an unlocked door and sexually assaulted and humiliated a woman who was house-sitting during an agonizing 45-minute attack, Suffolk prosecutors said.
He now faces new conspiracy raps after he allegedly offered a fellow inmate in Riverhead jail a total of $20,000 to kill the woman and an additional witness.
O'Sullivan conveyed the offer on a piece of paper that he fashioned into an airplane and sent to the inmate.
"Without a vic's statement the DA's case against me would lose all the power, right? Write me back. Use this sheet . . . I'll flush it when it's full," he wrote according to Suffolk DA Tom Spota.
The prospective hit man told his lawyer about the offer who in turn contacted the DA's office.
The alleged victim — who had her hands duct-taped behind her back — finally managed to use her tongue to dial 911 to alert authorities after the hellish Novemebr 2012 encounter, officials said.
O'Sullivan — who has been jailed for the past year — went from room to room wearing a mask in the large home and rummaged through drawers to retrieve underwear that he forced his bound victim to wear during the depraved attack.
Facing a heavy prison term, the alleged rapist plotted to murder the girl he had already traumatized so she wouldn't be able to testify at his trial, Spota said today.
He faces life in prison for the rape rap and up to 25 years on the new conspiracy charges.

No Mom?
Due to many reasons, some brides may find themselves navigating the engagement and wedding process without a mother. The role of mother-of-the-bride is often seen as a critical one, and if you are missing that, you may feel anxious or self-conscious. As you are meeting your fiancé's friends and family at various wedding events, you may encounter questions about your relatives. There is no need to be embarrassed or, even, overly-sensitive regarding an absentee or deceased parent. Most questions will just be curiosity, and certainly not meant with any malicious intent. Keep your replies simple and direct. If you or your mother made a decision for her not to be involved in your life, give a response like, "My mother won't be joining us for the wedding". If your mother is deceased, handle it the way you have undoubtedly answered the questions before with a brief statement, such as, "My mother passed away".
As for the actual events, feel free to select an "adopted"MOB. If you would like to have the support of an older woman during this very emotional and busy time, it is totally understandable. Ask a relative you have a close relationship with, or a family friend. Also, if you are very close to the MOG, ask her if she would like to fill in on traditional MOB tasks and honors.

Erol Alkan: Another "Bugged Out" Mix & "Bugged In" Selection
In 2004, DJ Erol Alkan released a continuous-mix album titled Bugged Out. Featuring emerging and established artists like Justice, Steve Bug, and Roman Flugel, it helped to define the parameters of what would come to be called electro-house. Alongside that album, he also released a more laid-back compilation aimed more at the home listener than the club denizen, and titled it Bugged In. Eight years later, he follows up with this similarly configured two-disc set, one that looks simultaneously backward and forward. The opening three tracks on the Bugged Out disc span three decades of house music, from its foundations (represented by DJ Ron Hardy) to a ten-year-old track by Smith n Hack, and then a recent tune by In Flagranti. Some things change, and (with house music in particular) some remain the same, notably the relentlessly thumping four-beats-to-the-bar kick drum - a pattern that is nicely broken up halfway through disc one by Unovidual & Tara Cross' fine "Like I Am/Comme Je Suis." Despite the rhythmic samey-ness, Alkan is a genius at textural variation and the mix is very enjoyable. Disc two starts out with a hoary old chestnut from the Jan Hammer Group - a 1977 tune titled "Don't You Know." It then proceeds to range all over the place, from a cassette field recording of a Los Angeles street musician performing "Major Tom (Coming Home)" to the Make-Up's goofy "I Am Pentagon," and Bibio's neo-hippy anthem "All the Flowers." Here the focus is on actual songs and the grooves are much more subtle, but they're still undeniably present, making this pair of discs a nicely complementary set. ~ Rick Anderson, Rovi

Every summer and winter Olympics will be fertile ground for the transition on the shelves of the video game competition. After so next-gen debut with Beijing 2008 Developer Eurocom tries again shifting the focus on winter sports forthcoming Vancouver 2010. The title does not offer any Olympic sport, but a sample of competitions more attractive, selected with a taste for speed.
Road to victory
The disciplines involved are all over 14, divided between skiing, Jumping, Snowboarding, Skating, Bobsleigh, Luge and Skeleton. The menu allows you to select three main ways: Olympic Games, Sports Training and Challenges. The first allows you to face the discipline that you want in the official competition, although there is actually a real career simply selecting the specialty and competence, without any real progression. Training repeats the same specialty offering the opportunity to practice without worrying about the final outcome, and includes a useful guide that shows step by step commands to each discipline. Challenges proposed instead individual races to be completed by meeting special requirements, such as reaching a certain speed with Bob or complete a slalom within a time limit of reducing snowmen; events are placed in a pyramid structure where the only aim is to complete with an increasing level of challenge: This mode takes a bit 'of originality in a formula usually standard and offers some of the challenges prove quite fun to tackle.
Each of the sports offered by Vancouver 2010 presents a set of custom controls and you should write a subsidiary to their layout before launching into the race. As expected, the aim of development is to embrace a wider catchment area as possible, so the commands will be reduced to a few simple keys that most often fail to make sufficiently immersive gaming experience while offering a level of acceptable challenge, making it different every discipline. Some specialties, such as skating, make less than others in terms of controls and general feel, leaves full odious typical button mashing production of other times. Fortunately this is not a dominant feature of the title. On balance, the subjects appear to be more fun skiing and snowboarding, where the feeling on the controls is well balanced and has the capacity to intervene directly in the path of the skier. Unlike the competitions in bobsleigh, skeleton and luge are much more driven and easy to master, thanks to the possibility of angular, but not bend directly.
To bring together almost all the disciplines offered is undoubtedly the speed returned to Vancouver in 2010 a strong impact due to a slight blur and proper compartment sound: the amalgamation of these elements can make the challenges to be sufficiently realistic and adrenaline. Appreciable in this regard the presence of a subjective view, which allows you to enjoy maximum sense of speed.
With a good book of rules and a set of checks each time different and mostly fun to master, what's really missing is the title of Eurocom cohesion between the proposed events, which would increase the sense of challenge and progression, the lack of this important detail is likely to bring down the interest in the gampelay in a relatively short time, a pity if we consider the general discrete implementation.
Another big no licenses are for real athletes, replaced by anonymous models that differ in various countries, the total absence of any option to customize also prevents the player the chance to recreate their heroes at hand.
Alongside the single player mode there is also a sector that can compete in multiplayer online events, of course, fans will find it funny, but some how specifically dedicated certainly would not have spoiled.
Technical sector
Stylistically, Vancouver 2010 is a nice game, and there is a certain ability to mask some very good technical deficiencies of the other party. The impact speed is undoubtedly the best of these devices, as overshadows the low definition that characterizes the performance of the boundary elements of the track, managing to bring to bear not at all missed. The smooth frame rate shows no signs of slowing, the models of the athletes are well modeled and animation go from good to fair never too disfiguring. The music propose a sui generis soft rock, perfect to accompany the menus and compensate in part the appeal completely dry.
Overall a good performance style, which scontenterà anyone who decides to approach the title.
Vancouver 2010 shows the different steps forward made by Eurocom compared to the utter failure of Beijing 2008. The disciplines are well represented, mostly well-implemented controls and procedures Challenges witness the willingness to propose something even vaguely innovative and over the top for the genre. A missing are those elements that could provide depth and longevity to the title, like a career mode that boosts progress, some customization options and licenses, which might please the fans of this or quell'atleta. Ultimately recommend the title for the accustomed sports productions dedicated to the Olympics, which will be in this winter edition 2010 several steps forward than usual, as players accustomed to producing sports most popular and dedicated to individual sports will not find sufficient reasons for this title purchase.

Robin Williams Plays UCB!
'It was surreal to see him with his head under my friend's shirt.'
Last night, popular hipster comedian Robin Williams turned up unannounced at New York's Upright Citizens Brigade's typically student-attended Harold Night to perform with the Bangs team (price of admission: $5). According to UCB's Charlie Todd, Williams played an out-of-work Sean Connery auditioning at a casting call for Hugh Jackman types, and an underage drinker trying to sneak past a bar's bouncer by hiding in his friend's hoodie. "He really rose to the moment," says Todd. "It was surreal to see him with his head under my friend's shirt."

Writing Competition
Eligible students participate in a writing competition held at the end of the Spring semester (May - June) for acceptance in the Fall semester.
The competition is administered under the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct ("The Honor Code"), and violations of these rules will be dealt with accordingly. Participants may NOT discuss the competition materials or their paper with anyone, including editing, proofreading and typing. To do so would be an Honor Code violation.
The competition papers are judged anonymously, therefore, the assigned packet number is used on the paper in place of the student's name.
Papers are scored by the current Editorial Board members. Scoring is based upon the quality of the paper as measured by the grammar, spelling, punctuation, style, Bluebook citation form, and most importantly, organization and composition.
Acceptees are required to attend training sessions before classes begin. Details are included in the acceptance letter.
Current and prospective journal members may reference the LibGuide, Student Legal Journals, for assistance.
Staff Member Responsibilities
As a NRJ staff member (2L), the student is involved in extensive cite-checking and proofreading of articles for publication. Students are also required to write a case note of publishable quality during their first year on staff.
After successful completion of these requirements, the student is eligible for appointment to a position on the Editorial Board (3L members). A third-year student who does not get a board appointment has the option to become an assistant editor or a staff writer and write a comment for possible publication in the Law Review.
As of Spring 1998, the faculty voted to allow case notes and comments written for law journals to satisfy the advanced writing requirement on the same basis as all other writing; namely a faculty member and a second reader must sign off on the written product. Please see your advisor about these requirements.
