Pricing Comments
This test is also offered via our exome backbone with CNV detection (click here). The exome-based test may be higher priced, but permits reflex to the entire exome or to any other set of clinically relevant genes.
Targeted Testing
For ordering sequencing of targeted known variants, please proceed to our Targeted Variants landing page.
Turnaround Time
The great majority of tests are completed within 20 days.
Clinical Sensitivity
Based on results from the literature, we estimate that at least one causative mutation will be detected in nearly all PA patients and two causative mutations in the great majority (Rodriguez-Pombo et al. Am J Hum Genet 63:360-369, 1998; Ugarte et al. Hum Mut 14:275-282, 1999).
Clinical Features
Propionic Acidemia (PA) (OMIM 606054) is a severe and often lethal defect in the catabolism of certain amino acids (met, ile, thr, val), odd-numbered chain length fatty acids and cholesterol. PA patients lack substantial activity in the mitochondrial enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase. Clinical onset is usually in infancy or early childhood. Clinical features include food intolerance, vomiting, lethargy, failure to thrive, ketoacidosis, hyperammonemia, and neutropenia.
Propionic Acidemia (PA) is an autosomal recessive condition. Propionyl-CoA carboxylase is comprised of two subunits, alpha and beta, encoded by the PCCA and PCCB genes, respectively. Defects in either gene can cause PA. Roughly 80 different causative mutations in PCCA and 90 in PCCB have been reported to date (Desviat et al. Mol Genet Metab 83:28-37, 2004; www.hgmd.org). See also the individual Test Descriptions for these two genes.
Testing Strategy
For this Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) test, sequencing is accomplished by capturing specific regions with an optimized solution-based hybridization kit, followed by massively parallel sequencing of the captured DNA fragments. Additional Sanger sequencing is performed for regions not captured or with insufficient number of sequence reads.
For Sanger sequencing, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to amplify targeted regions. After purification of the PCR products, cycle sequencing is carried out using the ABI Big Dye Terminator v.3.0 kit. PCR products are resolved by electrophoresis on an ABI 3730xl capillary sequencer. In nearly all cases, cycle sequencing is performed separately in both the forward and reverse directions.
Copy number variants (CNVs) are also detected from NGS data. We utilize a CNV calling algorithm that compares mean read depth and distribution for each target in the test sample against multiple matched controls. Neighboring target read depth and distribution and zygosity of any variants within each target region are used to reinforce CNV calls. All CNVs are confirmed using another technology such as aCGH, MLPA, or PCR before they are reported.
This panel provides 100% coverage of all coding exons of the genes listed, plus ~10 bases of flanking noncoding DNA. We define coverage as ≥20X NGS reads or Sanger sequencing.
In addition to the regions described above, this testing includes coverage of the following variants that reside in deep intronic regions: PCCA c.1285-1416A>G and PCCB c.654+462A>G.
Indications for Test
All PA patients are candidates for this test. Many patients will already have had propionyl-CoA carboxylase enzyme assays performed on lymphocyte or fibroblast specimens. While it is possible to biochemically distinguish the two complementation groups in PA patients (see for example Rodriguez-Pombo et al Am J Hum Genet 63:360-9, 1998), it may be easier to simply perform the DNA tests.

Sequencing and CNV Detection via NextGen Sequencing using PG-Select Capture Probes
Test Procedure
NextGen Sequencing
We use a combination of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Sanger sequencing technologies to cover the full coding regions of the listed genes plus ~10 bases of non-coding DNA flanking each exon. As required, genomic DNA is extracted from the patient specimen. For NGS, patient DNA corresponding to these regions is captured using an optimized set of DNA hybridization probes. Captured DNA is sequenced using Illumina's Reversible Dye Terminator (RDT) platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Regions with insufficient coverage by NGS are covered by Sanger sequencing.
For Sanger sequencing, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is used to amplify targeted regions. After purification of the PCR products, cycle sequencing is carried out using the ABI Big Dye Terminator v.3.0 kit. PCR products are resolved by electrophoresis on an ABI 3730xl capillary sequencer. In nearly all cases, cycle sequencing is performed separately in both the forward and reverse directions.
Patient DNA sequence is aligned to the genomic reference sequence for the indicated gene region(s). All differences from the reference sequences (sequence variants) are assigned to one of five interpretation categories, listed below, per ACMG Guidelines (Richards et al. 2015).
(1) Pathogenic Variants
(2) Likely Pathogenic Variants
(3) Variants of Uncertain Significance
(4) Likely Benign Variants
(5) Benign Variants
Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) recommendations are used to describe sequence variants (http://www.hgvs.org). Rare variants and undocumented variants are nearly always classified as likely benign if there is no indication that they alter protein sequence or disrupt splicing.
Deletion and Duplication Testing via NGS
Analytical Validity
NextGen Sequencing
As of March 2016, 6.36 Mb of sequence (83 genes, 1557 exons) generated in our lab was compared between Sanger and NextGen methodologies. We detected no differences between the two methods. The comparison involved 6400 total sequence variants (differences from the reference sequences). Of these, 6144 were nucleotide substitutions and 256 were insertions or deletions. About 65% of the variants were heterozygous and 35% homozygous. The insertions and deletions ranged in length from 1 to over 100 nucleotides.
In silico validation of insertions and deletions in 20 replicates of 5 genes was also performed. The validation included insertions and deletions of lengths between 1 and 100 nucleotides. Insertions tested in silico: 2200 between 1 and 5 nucleotides, 625 between 6 and 10 nucleotides, 29 between 11 and 20 nucleotides, 25 between 21 and 49 nucleotides, and 23 at or greater than 50 nucleotides, with the largest at 98 nucleotides. All insertions were detected. Deletions tested in silico: 1813 between 1 and 5 nucleotides, 97 between 6 and 10 nucleotides, 32 between 11 and 20 nucleotides, 20 between 21 and 49 nucleotides, and 39 at or greater than 50 nucleotides, with the largest at 96 nucleotides. All deletions less than 50 nucleotides in length were detected, 13 greater than 50 nucleotides in length were missed. Our standard NextGen sequence variant calling algorithms are generally not capable of detecting insertions (duplications) or heterozygous deletions greater than 100 nucleotides. Large homozygous deletions appear to be detectable.
Analytical Limitations
NextGen Sequencing
Interpretation of the test results is limited by the information that is currently available. Better interpretation should be possible in the future as more data and knowledge about human genetics and this specific disorder are accumulated.
When Sanger sequencing does not reveal any difference from the reference sequence, or when a sequence variant is homozygous, we cannot be certain that we were able to detect both patient alleles. Occasionally, a patient may carry an allele which does not amplify, due to a large deletion or insertion. In these cases, the report will contain no information about the second allele. Our Sanger and NGS Sequencing tests are generally not capable of detecting Copy Number Variants (CNVs).
We sequence all coding exons for each given transcript, plus ~10 bp of flanking non-coding DNA for each exon. Test reports contain no information about other portions of the gene, such as regulatory domains, deep intronic regions or any currently uncharacterized alternative exons.
In most cases, we are unable to determine the phase of sequence variants. In particular, when we find two likely causative mutations for recessive disorders, we cannot be certain that the mutations are on different alleles.
Our ability to detect minor sequence variants due to somatic mosaicism is limited. Sequence variants that are present in less than 50% of the patient's nucleated cells may not be detected.
Runs of mononucleotide repeats (eg (A)n or (T)n) with n >8 in the reference sequence are generally not analyzed because of strand slippage during PCR.
Unless otherwise indicated, DNA sequence data is obtained from a specific cell-type (usually leukocytes from whole blood). Test reports contain no information about the DNA sequence in other cell-types.
We cannot be certain that the reference sequences are correct.
Rare, low probability interpretations of sequencing results, such as for example the occurrence of de novo mutations in recessive disorders, are generally not included in the reports.
We have confidence in our ability to track a specimen once it has been received by PreventionGenetics. However, we take no responsibility for any specimen labeling errors that occur before the sample arrives at PreventionGenetics.

This is the last post in my Confessions of a Philosophy Girl series. I hope you've enjoyed it and I'll leave you with my thoughts on the bath and body products including their 3-in-1's since that's where the fun is.
Soul Owner is a foot cream and I never thought I'd say this but… this foot cream is awesome. It has salicylic and glycolic acids in it that help exfoliate the dead icky skin while crazy moisturizing. So slather it on for a couple of nights and then after a warm shower or bath, use a foot rasp and the skin basically just clumps right off. It sounds gross but it's awesome. Carla likes this a lot as well. As a warning to sensitive sniffers, it's very strongly scented.
Cinnamon Buns is a classic. You can't go wrong with this one, everybody who sniffs it falls in love. I never use the same body wash two showers in a row but I went through a 16 ounce bottle of this in no time. I haven't repurchased yet because there are so many body washes out there I have to try but I'm sure I'll repurchase sooner or later.
Do you like peppermint? I mean really peppermint? Like, clear your sinuses and wake you right up peppermint? Then try Candy Cane shower gel. I like peppermint but this is strong even for me. The body scrub is nice, though. It's especially nice in the dead of winter when your nose is clogged up and you need a kick in the butt. Peppermint lovers will love the Candy Cane Suitcase. Grasshopper was another good one but it may have been discontinued. Another minty scent but cut with a little bit of vanilla and something that smells like booze to take the edge off. Yummy to my nose. This was probably replaced with Empowermint, which I'd also like to try. I like mint.
I love margaritas, like a lot and Senorita Margarita was worth trying. The problem with this 3-in-1 is that it smells too much like a real margarita and it's hard for me to use because it's so overwhelming. I swear, you can even smell salt in there. Not for me, despite my love of margaritas. This was the case with Melon Daiquiri as well. I also love daiquiris but not in the shower, I guess. I had a little bottle of this and only used it a few times, wasn't for me. I don't even really remember what it smelled like.
I really want to try Banana and Waffle Cone next, after I get through a reasonable portion of my body wash stash. I never use the 3-in-1's as shampoo, my hair is way too dry and crazy. My skin is dry too but I've never felt stripped or dried out from a 3-in-1. If anything, try Cinnamon Buns… unless you really hate foody scents but I bet you'll love it.

Zen Toothpaste For Sensitive Teeth
Models, celebs, fashionistas and anybody who's anybody these days whitens their teeth so that they can be red carpet and paparazzi ready. The problem, however, is that not everybody's teeth can handle constant bleaching. New from GoSMILE is ZEN Toothpaste, $18, to help alleviate sensitivity in over-processed teeth.
There are of course other reasons for sensitivity such as: gum recession, tooth decay, aging, clenching or grinding of the jaw/teeth. Even overaggressive tooth brushing can cause heightened sensitivity. It causes erosion on your teeth/gums that leads to exposed dentin tubules that have a direct communication to the nerve. Believe it or not, one in five Americans lives with sensitivity in their mouth but now. Thanks to GoSMILE, brushing doesn't have to be painful - it can be ZEN.
This toothpaste is formulated to both strengthen and soothe. It contains a high level of Potassium Nitrate, which is supposed to treat sensitivity because it blocks the exposed dentin tubules. The fluoride in the formula prevents decay and promotes strong tooth enamel. When combined, these two ingredients help to seal any exposed areas, which may cause sensitivity.
What also makes this toothpaste special is its unique blend of white cranberry and lavender oils. The white cranberry extract helps the health of your gums by breaking down the bacteria that sticks to the root surface. Not only does is smell zesty, ZEN-like and relaxing, but it has a yummy flavor.

Mempo Project - Hardened Privacy
The project is temporarily on hold, while we prepare move to newer version of grsecurity.
Due to legal and/or business reasons, grsecurity project will remain fully open in the testing branch, not in the stable branch. And anyway stable branch was getting too old for Debian Jessie.
Expect us back by 2015.12.01.
"⌘ Mempo project aims to provide most secure and yet comfortable out-of-the-box Desktop and Server computer, for professionals, business, journalists, and every-day users avoiding PRISM-like spying. ⌘"
Mempo is a software project and open team of developers working with Debian and other communities and entities for above mentioned goal.
Current status: Mempo does work right now, as extension that secures Debian (in area of kernel and gnupg). Much more things will be released in near future. To use mempo now install Debian Wheezy and then install our kernel package. See: #done. And remember to join us on IRC.
Please write down all checksums of downloaded things that you will run (or build and then run etc) that come from us, on paper. Then you can always check history, if code was trusted.

Mempo system structure
Learn more about it on Mempo webpage.
See below for Download and Install instructions.
Install Mempo
This is work in progress, but it's usable right now
- If you are more advanced user-developer then try all steps.
If you just want to use the results of our work then apply only "green" points (only β=beta and R=Released are ready to use by everyone)
kernel/grsecurity install SameKernel#grsecurity - but you must do setfattr in next point (even if it's not released yet)!
kernel/grsecurity/paxflags install grsecurity/setfattr - needed if you used our kernel
kernel/grsecurity/rbac - in future we will provide RBAC profiles allowing to turn RBAC on by default and protect most important applications at least.
distro/repo: - in near future we will publish a debian-repository with created .deb files, starting with kernel. It should be available over http, as well as over Freenet and I2P.
priv/net/ - in near future provide one-click install for I2P, Freenet
In future installation will be made very easy for everyone.
Now Mempo exists as source code in various repositories. Later we will release ready .deb (signed and verifiable) and finally own .deb-repository, or in Debian repositories.
https://github.com/mempo/ (official, medium-security)
https://github.com/rfree/ (beta, medium-security)
https://github.com/vyrly/ (beta, low-security)
By low-security we mean that code is not so thoroughly reviewed yet, or it's developed/uploaded from not super-secured computers, but we do develop only on Linux/FOSS, encryption is always used etc - but still we know it's less than perfect.
So this is same as "normal/high" security by common standards
Integration with Debian
Mempo team will:
Upgrade existing software from upstream
Publish mempo-deb software, e.g. own version of Mempo/mempo-deb/tar and recommend Mempo users to upgrade immediately if they need given feature (build custom *.deb and install it) and ask them to help get them to Debian experimental
Upstream will be given patches and we will help to merge them
Debian experimental will be helped to package new software when upstream accepts it. In case of rejection or delay by upstream (if they not care about privacy&security to the same level as Mempo) to provide it as Debian custom patches
Debian stable - we hope most of Mempo work could, in time, reach Debian Stable to improve standard Debian security too.
Install with Debian:
If you are dedicated to security then install Debian Stable, and then add Mempo software on top (as of 2014-01 most software is experimental, contact as quickly for help and guidance)
- If you are a regular Debian user who wants to improve security a bit, then use Debian Stable and try some of our packages. Try to help get them to upstream, to Experimental, to Testing, to Backports etc.
Done work
SameKernel - Hardened (grsecurity) and verifiable kernel!
mempo-deb fixed libpoco Debian library
mempo-deb upgraded gnupg for higher max key length
Current work
As of 2014-02:
Fixing/patching other Debian software as mempo-deb
Planning - see mempo.org website hosted in Github
As of 2014-01 it is intended for Mempo to:
- Support and work inside of Debian project
- In addition release distribution (remix/selection of packages) that includes:
- - New software that is not yet accepted into Debian
- - Versions newer then in Debian
- - Release often
Mempo aims to be always Open FOSS, and put security as primary matter (e.g. at expense of usability or performance).
Project is in planning and prototyping stage, be patient
Found a bug or problem? Why not help us by getting involved:
Get Involved
Micro tasks:
Please idle on our IRC channel #mempo and discuss topics that come along
Help us with current projects e.g. SameKernel by reviewing and refactoring our code
Just report on IRC and ask what to do, stating your skills. Be ready to wait up to 24 hours for a reply and free to ask again each few hours
- Please try to edit our pages on Debian Wiki: our extra guidelines: short, precise, with detailed information (create paragraphs and subpages if looks too long). Links should never change! Consult us on #mempo before editing mission, general statements etc.
Please check for bugs: ?SameKernel/#bugs and try to figure them out
Wheezy 64bit, 10 GB HDD, root
1. Build our SameKernel by following instructions there. 2. Contact us with the *.deb files created there and sha1sum of them. 3. If build instructions where not clear tell us.
Wheezy, user
1) Build our Mempo/mempo-deb by following instructions there. 2) Tell us if it worked ; Extra: 3) If on amd64, check the checksums of files are they as expected 4) With root you can install the .deb with dpkg -i foo.deb and use the created programs and test if they work fully (review sources first, or use it on test computer)
The project is a huge amount of work. If you want our work to progress faster, you can do any of the following:
get involved and fix some things
donate money to sponsor work of our developers
- spread the word so other people would join the effort for secure and private happy future
Security topics
insecure-download we consider to be any download of code that will be executed in any possibly permissible or important way (sources, libraries, binary executable, scripts - but usually not images, music, etc) if that code is not strongly verified with cryptography.
- * PGP downloads are medium secure
- * Checksummed downloads (+PGP best) are most secure
- * (assuming trusted source of fingerprints/checksums)
Keys (gnupg, pgp)
First you have to get our signature from keyserver by using:
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 45953F23
To get our source code, download it from git and then verify the tag using:
LANG=C git tag -v `git describe --tags`
It should be signed (for now at least) by the same key as is published on our github account on github.com/mempo/ [[https://github.com/mempo/deterministic-kernel/blob/master/README.md|in README][, that is the key:
how ever this wiki page here (unless you are viewing hard-copy of it from trusted source) might have been edited too... So best to verify from multiply sources (as always).
Privacy is strongly protected by software that is included in Mempo. You can also contact us to discuss development or report bugs in a secure and privacy-respecting way. For anonymous talk try tor (with OFTC) or i2p (irc2p) in the Contact section.
If you would donate, then such resources would be given to our developers mostly, also partially to hardware, other expenses (servers,domains) people who will help us, and other FOSS projects (debian, grsecurity and other places we take software from).
the addresses are written on github under user mempo whom you can trust. (will pgp-sign too in future).
dogecoin in donate.txt
noblecoin in donate.txt
Contact with us: variety of ways, for secure and privacy respecting communication.

other users: please consider also contacting following users available e.g. on IRC: vyrly, rfree, ?KaDee
provided (packaged, distributed) fix to Debian libpoco that was stopping external open-source program (FMS) from working in Debian 7 https://github.com/mempo/mempo-deb
provided verification build script wrapper for Freenet https://github.com/mempo/freenet-extra
There will be variants, as planned in https://github.com/mempo/deterministic-kernel/blob/master/doc/mempo-variant.txt - versions of Mempo that very in security level (e.g. versions of kernel).
Variant desk
(previously was named as variant good)
Good protection. For Desktop. All grsecurity is used, except kmem/IOports.
Therefore video cards should work (on open-source drivers, binary blobs might not work).
binary gfx drivers will mostly not run (and would ruin security anyway)
Variant serv
Previously was called variant goodsrv.
Extra protection. For Server (or compatible desktop). All grsecurity is used, including kmem/IOports.
Therefore video cards only with best drivers will work (might require new/patched Xorg to not use IOports) - recommended for Intel gfx (as of 2013-11 probably requires patching Xorg). most gfx drivers might not work (in graphical mode) until patched binary gfx drivers are basically guaranteed to not run (and would ruin security anyway)
- Convince GCC upstream to enable security hardening flags by default
- - or write wrapper script and set gcc_secure and alike compilers to be used for building sensitive/all packages?
- see dpkg-buildflags, but that is useless for binaries built by users, the compiler should do hardening by default
- anyone has any such flags that could be added to the Mempo/mempo-deb package gnupg application and/or libpoco library? If yes then please form the git repo and try it and notify us here+irc.
- - Same question for kernel flags, is it secure on this front by default? Does grsecurity turn on all the needed flags, in addition to enabling some static check plugins?
Various ideas by other people, we should look into this all:
14:35 < spender> setfattr -n user.pax.flags -v "m" /usr/sbin/grub-probe 14:36 < spender> or just setfattr -x user.pax.flags /usr/sbin/grub-probe 13:57 <+minipli> dv-: ...and to not forget updating the flags on grub2 updates, you can try installing http://r00tworld.net/~minipli/grsec/pax-mark-v0.0.1.deb 13:57 <+minipli> it's a little hacky, but does the trick 13:57 < rfree_> dv-: I overall do https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mempo/deterministic-kernel/master/apps/grsec-setpax/postinstall/fs_attr_grsecurity_standard_debian.sh 13:58 < coredumb> spender: thanks for your help! 13:58 < rfree_> minipli: oh cool, is that a package that installs hooks so it re-applies setfattr after other packages are updated too? 13:59 <+minipli> rfree_: yeah, it uses the dpkg hook from apt 14:00 <+minipli> but instead of setfattr, it uses paxctl 14:00 <+minipli> but one can easily change that, it's simple shell script 14:00 < rfree_> cool minipli, let me steal your code 14:00 < spender> HMM 14:01 <+minipli> it's not optimal, though 14:01 <+minipli> it just runs after the dpkg run, e.g., after all packages have been installed/updated Arach recommends to consider using 0install. Arach recommends to use LXDE as very lightweight DE. 17:02 <Arach> Only as a base. 0install or alike FTW. 17:03 <Arach> Openwall is just a saner base, but that's not what I think is the most important or time-consuming. 17:04 <Arach> Because in the end you actually *could* write some sane and reusable RBAC for a *base* system for pretty much any distro out there. 17:05 <Arach> As long as you provide applications using decentralized package managers without the deps hell the other problems, which distro you'll choose for the base wouldn't really matter. 17:05 <Arach> *and the other 17:06 <Arach> To use or not to use DEs is another question, and we indeed wasted tons of time on it. Arach and others recommend to isolate X programs with Xnested like solutions, or Waylend; 15:36 <Arach> VNC into a separate X11 session might be a better idea, as in better sort of shit. 15:36 <Arach> But still better. 15:37 <Arach> Xorg is capable of running unprivileged sessions with VNC driver. 15:38 <Arach> Maybe not out of the box (didn't check that for ages), but still may be a (poor man's) way to go. 15:38 <rfree_> so what would be best option? wayland? 15:38 <Arach> The point is: you run X11, unprivileged, without access to actual input devices, and, unlike in case of Xephyr, with all the extensions available, such as XKB. 15:39 <Arach> And use some sort of hardened VNC client to connect to it. 15:39 <Arach> But that won't work for resource-critical stuff like video, flash, etc. 15:39 <Arach> Above usable state. 15:39 <Arach> Wayland seems like the next best thing, yes. 15:40 <Arach> But not without support from some other tools. 15:40 <Arach> I didn't investigate those topics. 15:45 <Arach> http://www.mupuf.org/blog/2014/02/19/wayland-compositors-why-and-how-to-handle/ Arach rised concnern that virtualization (kvm, qemu) can actually lower security. 15:30 <Arach> And btw, heavy virtualization DECREASES security. 15:30 <Arach> Both of host and guest systems. 15:30 <rfree_> oh? how? 15:31 <rfree_> there were some bugs in vm engines... afair grsec would protect from them? and when there are no bugs, it's good isolation 15:31 <Arach> Because it introduces vulnerabilities in hypervisor which exploitation could lead to otherwise non-existent privilege escalation in guest or even to guest-to-host privilege escalation. 15:32 <rfree_> even in kvm, instead xen? 15:32 <Arach> And that's a fucking truism for YEARS. 15:32 <Arach> Especially KVM and Xen. 15:32 <rfree_> so what would you use for additional isolation? 15:34 <Arach> Separate users, SECCOMP (both modes, v1 preferably, but that's just an utopian dream in 99.99% of cases), RBAC, graphical server-level isolation (like in qubes or like it's made possible in Wayland, or with some sort of X11 proxy like Xnest or Xephyr, but written in security in mind, with some seamless integration features). 15:34 <Arach> *with security 15:34 <rfree_> I read that paper about holes in kvm, right. Wasnt the conclusion that they are fixed now; and, would not pax/rbac/grsec protect this use case? 15:35 <Arach> I suggest you asking spender and/or pipacs, what they think about security through virtualization.
SystemD is controversial choice for new init system on Debian 8(?).
Many claim it has various downsides, including security implications of running too much of tools on privileged position as PID1.
16:36 <Arach> There is consensus between credible security people: systemd is shit. 16:37 <Arach> Fucktons of shit in pid 1? Srsly. 16:37 <Arach> The only counter-argument here is "b-b-but the features!.." 16:37 <Arach> Which is pretty much speaking for itself. 16:38 <rfree> ok so the main argument is lack of isolation to separate processes (homefully with lower privilages, e.g. other uid, dropping CAP, and also option to easier contain it with rbac)? 16:38 <Arach> Everything Poettering did is shit and has terrible security record, yet people don't give a shit for security, so here we are "from the Pride Rock to the pit of shame" (c). 16:39 <Arach> Isolation != security. 16:39 <Arach> Isolate shit, let it be pwned and let your pid 1 receive commands from it. Yeah, problem solved. 16:40 <Arach> I fucking despise that "main argument" idiocy. 16:40 <Arach> Devil is in the details, damn it. 16:40 <rfree> yeah 16:41 <rfree> but what you just written "let it be pwned and let your pid 1 receive commands from it. Yeah, problem solved." seems to a bit defat your own argument that there should be more separated things instead all in pid 1 16:41 <rfree> I guess you mean that this must be done still, but that this is not enough 16:41 <Arach> The closes to the truth overview is: it's easier to write something from scratch than to fix systemd's security. 16:41 <rfree> I was not implying that isolation is enough. So, yeap 16:42 <Arach> Separation doesn't imply verifiable authenticity. 16:43 <rfree> yea 16:43 <Arach> I could suggest architectural changes, but they are not transparent, they would require visible changes in systemd and its philosophy (if there's such a thing, formally or not). 16:43 <Arach> And the author(s) obviously doesn't care that much about security. 16:43 <rfree> so which system instead of systemd? the cgroup idea is a positive change, anything does that too? 16:43 <Arach> So good luck "cooperating" with him. 16:44 <Arach> A fucking runit could do the job, with more or less init.d-alike tricks to resolve deps, etc. 16:44 <Arach> OpenRC has some support for cgroups. Though I don't care. 16:46 <Arach> And OpenRC doen't persist as some sort of daemons. It just uses the cgroup's event handler invocation capabilities provided by the kernel. 16:46 <Arach> I'm not saying that's to any extent a superior approach, but there is such a thing. ... 16:50 <rfree> I suppose this is one example http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits /21323/ ... 16:52 <Arach> Well, probably. At least OpenRC doesn't persist with tons of shitty privileged code ready to process untrusted input.

dbus is accused by some security researchers as being potential source of security issues, in current state.
The implementation seems to not mind security too much.
It was told that grsecurity plans to allow some ACL/control over DBus communications in future
16:53 <Arach> Speaking of dbus, you should be aware that this thing is much more serious problem than any vuln in systemd. 16:53 <rfree> is there a replacement? 16:54 <Arach> Yes. "Throw it out and forget this nightmare. Write some basic stuff from scratch, with security in mind. Take OCaml of Ada for the task, not to be a part of the same ages-old fucking problem." 16:55 <rfree> so it's messaging system between varioud daemons (and apps) 16:55 <Arach> I'd avoid any IPC that was designed without security constraints in mind, that is supposed to be used by mutually trusted applications. 16:56 <Arach> Yes, a messaging system. So what? 16:56 <rfree> so replacmenet should... 1) have no implementation mistakes (low level vulns leading to say arbitrary code execution) 2) have strong authentication/authorization and encryption of the communication 3) provide proper ACL (mostly result of 2) to not leak data or take dbus commands from malicious programs ? 16:56 <Arach> Don't you feel suspicious to such things by default? 16:56 <Arach> Where's your security mindset? 16:56 <Arach> Our conversations is so fucking sad, you have no idea... 16:57 <rfree> well I have no idea indeed why you bitch so much all the time :& 16:57 <rfree> you present a problem, so we look at solution 16:57 <Arach> The question is: should there be a replacement at all? 16:57 <rfree> I assume if we just rip out all communication between processes, some of this stuff actually is usefull for non-bullshit reasons 16:58 <Arach> Should there be a "universal", bloated, single-point-of-failure-or-breach protocol and a bunch of daemons? 16:58 <rfree> so limited reasonable IPC or "dbus" would be nice. you know users would like to ... I guess this is what dbus is used for... do things like be notified about usb disk they inserted, eject cd, and so on 16:58 <rfree> * yes, this all things should be limited too on mempo 16:58 <Arach> Aren't unix domain socket files enough? What happened with minimalistic protocols designed to perform some single task in the most simple way? 16:59 <rfree> (e.g. white list devices) 16:59 <Arach> There's some good news about dbus, however. 16:59 <rfree> if a well-written dbus thing would exist, it could be better then each of 10 apps writting manual communication with 10 other apps, resulting in 100 comm channels 16:59 <rfree> because reducing code both meaning work for developers, and possible bugs, places to check 17:00 <rfree> either way. Ok we'll look into dbus too. 17:00 <Arach> It's currently being moved to the kernel. It's lowest layer. And spender is going to introduce dbus restricting capabilities to RBAC. 17:00 <rfree> btw I assume what we write here can be published, if you would need it hidden tell me; if you want credit/link then tell me too 17:01 <Arach> Other than that, it's still an the IPC used by modern DEs without any significant and consistent notion of trust between parties. 17:01 <Arach> And that's not even dbus' fault.

- Critical problem with LUKS, it is allaged that in the past and perhaps still today the installer by default creates low quality encryption with /dev/urandom instead /dev/random
is this still the case? [https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2013/09/msg00440.html]
solution use: --use-random in the installer
- also use this for the cryptsetup by default when user creates more LUKS partitions
provide guide about re-encrypting with secure master key: [http://asalor.blogspot.com/2012/08/re-encryption-of-luks-device-cryptsetup.html]
With debian, though if they say NO like with grsecurity we will continue work.
With Tails, they could use our kernel?
We can include Tails in easy VM.
With Openwall Linux: they could use our kernel?
We could include Openwall Linux in VM for dedicated server.

Ideas 2
Even more ideas and drafts
sl1nk various ideas (evil maid, IP, MitM)
#mempo @ irc.freenode.org
<sl1nk> Meanwhile download Debian, i looked your "Threats to security and anonymity" (https://rawgithub.com/mempo/*). I saw that you don't have a solution for Identity Spoofing, Man-in-the-middle attack, Evil Maid attack, phishing, DNS poisoning. <sl1nk> That makes three categories of attacks, network, web and password <sl1nk> There are two ways to stop the "evil maid" attack: keeping your boot partition on a flash drive you carry at all times, or using a checksum value of the boot sector and boot partition to detect it and change you passphrase. <sl1nk> The only totally secure defense is to copy /boot onto a flash drive, install GRUB on that drive, and debug this until you can boot from the flash drive with the encrypted disk as the root filesytem. <sl1nk> IP spoofing is a technique where a host sends out packets which claim to be from another host. Since packet filtering makes decisions based on this source address, IP spoofing is uses to fool packet filters. It is also used to hide the identity of attackers using SYN attacks, Teardrop, Ping of Death and others... <sl1nk> The best way to protect from IP spoofing is called Source Address Verification, and it is done by the routing code, and not firewalling at all. <sl1nk> turning on Source Address Verification at every boot is the right solution for you <sl1nk> To do that, insert the following lines somewhere in your init scripts, before any network interfaces are initialized http://pastecode.ru/8312/ <iRelay> Title: Pastecode Без названия (at pastecode.ru) <sl1nk> If you cannot do this, you can manually insert rules to protect every interface. <sl1nk> MitM-Attack, uses a technique called ARP spoofing, so you need to filtre/block it. <sl1nk> With HTTPS or VPN for example. <sl1nk> For Phishing and DNS poisoning is other way... ;.;

How to use VPN and Tor
The VPN-Tor model:
<rfree> hi hilby <rfree> hilby, a friend did such configuration, it worked <rfree> hilby, you just get and run an VPN network as usual, to have all network going via a VPN on your computer. Then, you turn on the tor server/client on this computer :) <rfree> and that's all. <rfree> there are things to watch over for: <rfree> 1) would be cool to get the VPN anonymously. In general, using bitcoin to buy it, how ever bitcoin is usually not really anonymous... how ever, anyway you are still on tor anyway so you should be not easily discovered as the VPN user <rfree> 2) timing attack. Wait some time (hours, days, weeks?) before following this instruction or someone reading this convo could exepct that the next tor from vpn user is the same guy as hilby here (if that is a problem for you) <rfree> 3) cover traffic helps a lot. I don't remember if you can be a tor relay while on VPN, perhaps on some... if you could then it would help. If not, at least have some random tor requests in background like start bunch of tor using applications otherwise your main activity will stand out too much <rfree> there is also #tor over at irc.oftc.net where more people should have tips on this subject
Another option would be the Tor-VPN model. But removes your privacy in that way that if you access few things X0..X9 using this, then there will be full correlation, all 10 servers (and the ISP and for example rogue government or other adversaries spying on their traffic from backbone) will correlate and profile you. If on any site you would take action connecting you to real life then you are busted. Though it can be good in that way that the end sites see you just as a "VPN user" not as "Tor user" which some sites ban.
Advantage over just VPN, is that if adversary bribes, subpoenas or otherwise gets VPN operator data/logs, he does not have your IP.
How ever you would also need to make perfectly anonymous payment from bitcoin not connected to you in any way, sent from Tor to bitcoin (or other crypto currency) network, and register etc from Tor to remain protected.
Yet another option is VPN-Tor-VPN. This sounds like secure option, but research is needed.

Questions regarding Puff Pastry Dough
I tried my hand at puff pastry and had a not bad first attempt but have a couple of questions.
First, how cold should the butter be? out of the refridge cold, or room temperature?
Second, I did have butter break through the dough when I was rolling it out. I put flour down and kept rolling. Is that the right thing to do? Why did it break through? Too warm, too cold the butter?
Third, I tried to make turnovers and when I wet and sealed the dough the filling still leaked out when baking. What is the trick to prevent that?
Thanks in advance. It still tasted good but I would like to make better.

All-pro Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis suffered a torn ACL in Gang Green's Week 3 victory against the Miami Dolphins and will have what will likely be season-ending surgery on his injured left knee.
A somber head coach Rex Ryan won't definitely rule Revis out for the season, saying Monday he just found out about the results of the MRI exam, calling it "horrible."
"Obviously that's a significant injury and something we are going to have to overcome as a football team, we understand that," Ryan said. "He's such a great player and a great teammate -- we're going to lose that presence."
Recovery from a torn ACL for a football player typically takes six months to a year. Ryan said Revis may have to wait several weeks before having surgery as doctors try to "get the knee healthy" before the procedure.
Revis was injured in the third quarter of the Jets' 23-20 overtime victory at Miami, falling awkwardly and grabbing at his knee even before he hit the grass. It was a non-contact injury, and he wound up covering his face with gloved hands in obvious pain.
It was Revis' first game back after missing a week with a concussion suffered in the season opener against Buffalo. In his two starts this season, Revis recorded four solo tackles, three assists, a fumble recovery, an interception and three passes defended.
The 27-year-old first-round draft pick out of Pittsburgh is widely considered the best shut-down cornerback in the league. His position on the field has been nicknamed "Revis Island," a phrase he trademarked, because opposing wide receivers tend to disappear when he covers them one-on-one.
Revis is a four-time Pro Bowler, a three-time all-pro player and 2009 AFC Defensive Player of the year.
Jet 2010 first-round pick Kyle Wilson will take over for Revis, starting opposite Antonio Cromartie. Ryan said those players and the rest of the defense will have to step up, together, to fill the gaping void left by their star corner.
"This is a team game, and as a team, we have to step up," Ryan said. "We accept the challenge."

On Saturday, August 8th, I had the pleasure of guest deejaying on Travel Tips For Aztlan on KPFK 90.7 FM in Los Angeles. Travel Tips is one of L.A.'s longest running Latin Alternative radio programs. My co-host, Mari G., and I filled in for regular hosts Mark Torres and Mariluz Gonzalez, who took a much-needed Saturday night off. Hopefully we will do more fill-in spots for Mark and Mariluz in the future, as Mari G. and I have plenty of music to share. So, what did we play? We played lots of Cumbia, both traditional and remixes. We played a boat load of Toy Selectah remixes and Bersa Discos tracks. We played music from Mexico that is sadly not out in the U.S.
Below is our set list from that night. I marked certain releases that Amoeba Hollywood currently has in stock, just in case you would like to pick up a copy for yourself.
[Hour 1]
1. Das Pop - "Underground" (Busy P Remix)
2. Quantic & his Combo Barbaro - "Un Canto a Mi Tierra" (from the Traditions in Transition CD/LP)
3. Banda de Turistas - "Un Verdadero Cajon de Madera"

Dialysis access is achieved through one of three procedures used to prepare a patient for dialysis treatments. The procedures include insertion of a fistula, graft or catheter that will be used to connect dialysis equipment to the patient's blood supply.
The most common type of dialysis access is a fistula. A fistula is created during a minor surgical procedure and creates a passageway using the patient's own tissue to connect a vein to an artery that is nearby. It is typically in the arm. This creates a large blood vessel which increases the speed of the blood flow and improves the efficiency and expediency of dialysis; a treatment for removing waste and extra fluid from the blood when the patient's kidneys have failed—usually as result of kidney disease.
Needles are used to remove the blood so it can be filtered through the dialysis machine and the purified blood is quickly returned to the patient by needle insertion. It must be placed several months before a patient begins dialysis in order to ensure the vein has time to mature and provide increased blood flow. The time period for maturation of the fistula is typically between three and six months.
Because the fistula is created with the patient's own tissue, this procedure is likely than the others to encounter issues with infection and clotting and is generally the preferred choice for permanent vascular access.
A graft is the second most common choice for dialysis access. A minor surgical procedure is needed to place a small surgical tube which connects the vein and a nearby artery. The graft is usually inserted in the bend of the arm or the upper arm, but it may also be placed in the leg or chest wall. A graft is normally healed and ready for dialysis use in two to six weeks following placement. Grafts are often used when a patient has small veins that will not develop a fistula properly.
The third option for dialysis access is placement of a catheter. A catheter is often used for temporary access in cases where patients must start dialysis immediately and there is not time to wait for the more permanent vascular access that is granted with a fistula and graft. A catheter is a tube that is inserted in the vein of the chest, neck or leg (near the groin) of a patient. It is two-chambered and allows for two-way flow of blood which eliminates the necessity of needle insertion.
It is not ideal for permanent access due to the higher risk of infection and clotting – as compared to fistula and graft placement. However, it can be used for extended periods of time when fistula and graft surgery is unsuccessful. In these cases the catheter will be tunneled under the skin to increase comfort and reduce infection risk, but a tunneled catheter is still prone to infection.
Dialysis Access Maintenance
To reduce risk of infection for fistula and graft access, it is important that a patient takes special care of the site. Patients must monitor the site for signs of infection, redness, and excess bleeding. It is also a good idea to wash the site with antibacterial soap daily and try to prevent scratching or damage to the skin surrounding the site. If anything unusual is noted like redness, swelling and heat, a patient should contact the dialysis care provider at once.
As for catheter care, patients must ensure the site stays clean and dry and that a clean dressing is applied daily. A protective cover should be used when the patient showers. It is important to notify the dialysis care provider immediately if the patience notices that the catheter's placement has changed or if the edge (cuff) is showing from under the skin.

Watch These Lobsters Scare People — Daily Distraction
[onescreen item="4997308"]
Lobsters are delicious, no argument here, but they are also quite monstrous-looking. If one catches you by surprise, it's perfectly understandable to shriek in terror. Like these people.
The huge claws, the antennae, all those legs—they're like something out of an H.P. Lovecraft tale. Except really, really tasty.
The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you're eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say "aaahhh" or not believe what you just watched.

Top Tips on weather, equipment hire and coming prepared more
The 19th Volvo China Open is just a month away and all the signs are that we are in for an intriguing contest. The field of international golf stars, including defending champion Branden Grace, Ryder Cup star Paul Lawrie, long-hitting Álvaro Quirós, Scott Jamieson and Thomas Björn, 13-time winner on the European Tour, will be challenged by China's rising stars with Andy Zhang and Jim Liu leading the way. The youngest player ever to compete on The European Tour, Ye Wo-cheng, will be rubbing shoulders with experienced stars and proven winners at Tianjin Binhai Lake Golf Club from May 2-5.
In recent years, the ever-strengthening international challenge at the Volvo China Open has produced some fine champions, not least last year's outstanding winner, South Africa's Branden Grace. He will be keen to return to the winner's circle after a prolific year in 2012 and is looking forward to the challenge.
He said: "I can't wait to defend my title and I hope I can keep up the trend of playing my best golf in Volvo's tournaments! Obviously I know and enjoy the course at Binhai Lake, and I am extremely keen to successfully defend a title for the first time. The welcome I had here last year was unbelievable and I'm really looking forward to returning and doing all I can to win the 19th Volvo China Open."
Grace will be defending his title against stars such as Álvaro Quirós who is keen to get back on the winning trail. The Spaniard commented: "With injury, I've been out of contention for way too long, but I feel I am in really good shape now. It's always special to play an Open, and I would love to win the Volvo China Open and get back in the winner's circle."
Another established star and favourite of the fans is former Open Champion and Ryder Cup hero Paul Lawrie. He is enjoying a sustained renaissance in his career and is keen to do well at Binhai Lake.
He said: "I know that there are plenty of amazing young talents making their move at the moment, so it's going to be an exciting week at Binhai Lake for sure." The Scotsman continued, "Winning would be amazing and would also mean securing a spot in the Volvo World Match Play, so there's a lot at stake."
With the likes of multiple European Tour winner Thomas Björn from Denmark and Scotland's Scott Jamieson, who recently won the Nelson Mandela Championship presented by ISPS Handa, there is undoubtedly strength in depth in the field at Tianjin.
However, there is a storm rising amongst the host nation's younger players with 12 year old Ye Wo-cheng re-writing the history books after gaining his place in Western China Qualifying last month.
After making history, he said: "Playing in the Volvo China Open will be a fantastic experience for me so I am doing everything I can to be well prepared. It is amazing that I will get to play on The European Tour, and compete with some of my big idols."
Also in the field are Andy Zhang, the youngest competitor in the history of the US Open, and Jim Liu, who in 2010 took Tiger Woods' record as the youngest ever winner of the US Junior Amateur. 15 year-old Bai Zheng-kai is also in the field courtesy of his win in the Volvo China Junior Match Play Championship.
The China Golf Association can be very happy with the progress of its emerging stars and rightly proud to see so many of their young golfers moving onto the world stage. It may now only be a matter of time before there is the first Chinese winner of a Major, and the strong relationship between the CGA and Volvo has been a vital factor.
Per Ericsson, President of Volvo Event Management echoes these thoughts, said: "We have very much enjoyed our relationship with golf in China over many years and it really seems to be paying dividends in terms of the incredible young talent here."
Ericsson added: "We are very proud of our strong position in golf here, especially as Volvo's core businesses in this key market constantly keep developing."
The closing date for entry is two weeks prior to the event, with players confirming their participation until then.

Select Tech Skills in High DemandBy Ericka Chickowski | Posted 2008-04-23 Print
Baseline takes a look at specific areas of IT job shortages.
Select Tech Skills in High Demand
For all the talk of the need for IT candidates to develop their business acumen, there are also a number of specific technical skills that headhunters and CIOs say are in short supply. Security is one example.
A recent survey of 3,500 IT professionals and employers conducted by CompTIA found that 74 percent of respondents listed security skills as the top qualifications needed by their IT departments, but only 57 percent said their employees were proficient in security. This 17-point gap between need and proficiency was the largest among the 10 categories listed in the survey, including soft skills and networking skills and Web-based technology.
"Security is top of mind and at the top of lists for everybody that we surveyed for every geography, every industry and every size of business," Ostrowski says. "So everybody has security on their minds and rightfully so because it has gotten a lot of attention recently and a security breach could be catastrophic for business."
Some wonder how long this skill shortfall will persist, though. As a recruiter, Martineau says he's seen the critical need for security pros cool down in the past few years as awareness and training have improved.
"I don't think they're nearly as hot as they used to be; a couple of years ago, yeah, everyone and their brother was out there getting their CISSPs [Certified Information Systems Security Professional certification]," he says. "We're not seeing the need as much anymore."
*Is there really an IT labor shortage? Some punch serious holes in to the figures.
However, Martineau has the hardest time finding senior developers with sufficient Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) skills and Web 2.0 application skills. Janet Miller, a headhunter for the high-tech recruiting firm Computer Management, has had similar experiences.
"It seems like there are plenty of networking people; there aren't enough software developers with the right specific skills," she explains.
For example, service-oriented architecture (SOA) and .NET developers are in high demand, but COBOL programmers can't find a job, and even C++ developers have seen things dry up, she says. In most instances, Martineau believes that the need in these particular developer competencies comes in conjunction with senior-level experience or additional management skills.
"We have lots clients who are looking for people who have hands on Java/J2EE skills, but who've also been managing people over the last few years. So they need strong management skills and strong tactical skills," he says. "A lot of times, those people don't exist. Those are the searches I'm not interested in."
One of the difficulties and opportunities of tech is that it changes fast. New needs for technical proficiency consistently crop up. The trick is to foresee what the next big need will be and train people before it becomes an issue.
CompTIA predicts that the next large gap will likely be in wireless skills.
"Those people who obtain some training or skill development in the wireless computing and communications area are going to be in good shape in the not-too-distant future," Ostrowski says. "Five years from now, everybody is going to want wireless people because everybody wants to improve mobile computing, and those skills are going to be very relevant."

Improving Navigation Interactions
During his internship at Willow Garage David Lu from Washington University in St. Louis spent the first three months of 2013 improving the navigation stack, a solution that many robots use to move around without colliding into obstacles. Specifically, he made the costmap functionality more flexible to allow for custom adjustments to be made, allowing for the robot to navigate with increased awareness about specific things in its context, like the presence of people.
The costmap is the data structure that represents places that are safe for the robot to be in a grid of cells. Usually, the values in the costmap are binary, representing free space or places where the robot would be in collision. The ROS Navigation stack had the capacity to represent intermediate values, but with the exception of some values to make sure the robot's didn't drive immediately next to obstacles, it primarily used the two values.
The new structure created by David allows for extensive customization of the values that go into the costmap. The different parts of the costmap (the static map, the sensed obstacles and the inflated areas) are all separated into distinct layers of the costmap. Each layer is represented as a ROS plugin that can be compiled independently. Through the parameter server, users can specify additional plugins to be included with functionality they can design.
One use case of special interest for David and his collaborators was the personal space case mentioned above. By integrating a special "social" costmap plugin, the values around sensed people is increased proportional to a normal distribution, causing the robot to tend to drive further away from the person. By taking these proxemic concerns and other social navigation issues into account, David looks to improve human-robot interaction by making the navigation stack create more friendly navigation behaviors.
These changes will be integrated into the core navigation stack in an upcoming distro. For more information, see the costmap and navigation wiki pages.

Tech Launching Border Security Education Program
SOCORRO, N.M. Sept. 29, 2009 – New Mexico Tech is expanding its law enforcement education program to include a new initiative for border area officers.
The university won a competitive grant for $994,000 from the Department of Justice to educate non-federal law enforcement officers in New Mexico and Arizona to combat drug trafficking and related violence in border areas.
|New Mexico Tech's largest division, Energetic Materials Research Testing Center, has developed a reputation for excelling at field training for first responders. A new Department of Justice grant will allow the university to expand its educational programs. EMRTC file photo
Dave Williams, associate director of Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center, or EMRTC, is in charge of the program. He said that most state, local and tribal police officers in the United States have not had to deal with the extreme level of threats their counterparts across the border in Mexico have faced.
"County deputies, local police officers, tribal officers and state troopers are on the front lines in the war on drug trafficking," Williams said. "This program will be designed to equip officers with the skills, knowledge and awareness to deal with the most dangerous criminals they may encounter."
New Mexico Tech President Dr. Daniel H. Lopez thanked the New Mexico Congressional delegation for their support of legislation which is providing special funding to combat criminal narcotics activity along the Southwest border. He also acknowledged the assistance of the Department of Public Safety.
"Without the endorsement of Secretary Denko on our grant application in this highly competitive program, we might not have been successful," Lopez said. "We look forward to the Department of Public Safety playing a key role in this new and challenging program."
Through EMRTC, Tech will develop the curriculum and deliver training programs aimed to control, reduce, and prevent narcotics activities and violent crime throughout the Southwest.
Tech Vice President of Research Dr. Van Romero said the new education program fits in well with one of EMRTC's specialties – delivering advanced education for professionals.
Over the past decade, EMRTC has hosted more than 10,000 first-responders for its week-long classes about response to terrorist situations. The first-responder training was expanded in 2003 when the university purchased the former mining town of Playas in southwest New Mexico and converted the village into real-life training center. Williams said the new program will call on many of the same world-renowned subject matter experts and educational program developers.
"New Mexico Tech's primary mission is to educate the next generation of scientists and engineers," Romero said. "In recent years, we've branched out into educational activities that are vital to national security. This new program fits into our educational mission and is also in our area of expertise."
Tech will conduct a needs assessment summit and will develop the curricula related to narcotics-related victim/kidnapping negotiation and rescue tactics, high-risk drug warrant service, high-risk highway drug interdiction operations, and officer drug war survival.
On-site training will be provided to 1,350 law enforcement personnel and an additional 3,000 law enforcement personnel will be trained through a training CD and online training which will be made available under this program.
"New Mexico Tech has unique resources and facilities at the Playas Training and Research Center and the expertise required to train law enforcement officers," Williams said. "This new program will complement Tech's existing programs."
New Mexico Tech operates a graduate-level professional law enforcement curriculum at the International Law Enforcement Academy in Roswell, a program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. Tech also operates the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium First Responder program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The new program will call for hiring seven new full-time employees, 99 new part-time positions and retaining 12 existing positions that were not permanent.
The program will include performance-based training at the Playas Research Training Center and shorter on-site classes for law enforcement agencies in Arizona and New Mexico.
"Part of our strategy is to train the trainer," Williams said. "Some departments will send a small contingent of officers, who will then take the new knowledge and skills back to the rest of their department."
The original proposal called for $1.6 million; the project was funded for $994,000. Williams said New Mexico Tech will request more Department funds after demonstrating that the class is successful and effective.
Romero said the New Mexico Congressional delegates are working on providing the Department of Justice with additional funding in fiscal year 2010 for Southwest border counter-narcotics and law enforcement programs.
"The first phase of the project will use Arizona and New Mexico to determine what is needed," Williams said. "We will develop the course and refine it with pilot sessions to get the program finalized. If we get supplemental funds, we can expand the program to communities in Texas and California."

Virtual machines require some form of installation media, whether it be a template, assembly, ISO file, or mounted ISO file. Different domain types may require slightly different installation source files. Table 7.2, "Virtual machine installation sources" lists the installation sources available for HVM and PVM guests.
Table 7.2 Virtual machine installation sources
Installation Source
Template (clone)
ISO file in repository
Mounted ISO file on NFS, HTTP or FTP server
When you create an HVM guest from an ISO file, you must supply an ISO file which has been preloaded into a storage repository that is presented to the Oracle VM Server on which the virtual machine is to be deployed. See Section 7.5.5, "ISO Files (CD/DVD Images)" for information on importing ISO files.
When you create a PVM guest from an ISO file, you cannot use an ISO file from a repository to install the operating system. Oracle VM requires that the ISO file is mounted so that its internal filesystem contents are available during the installation of the operating system for a PVM guest. The mounted ISO file can be made available via an NFS, HTTP or FTP server. When you specify the location of the installation media in the Network Boot Path field in the Create Virtual Machine wizard, you enter the NFS, HTTP or FTP path to the mounted ISO file. The following examples show how to create and use mounted ISO files on an NFS share, and on an HTTP server.
Example 7.1 Creating an installation tree on an NFS share
This example creates an installation tree for paravirtualized guests by mounting an ISO file. The installation tree is made available via an NFS share. On the NFS server, enter
# mkdir -p /isos/EL5u6-x86_64 # mount -o ro,loop /path/Enterprise-R5-U6-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso /isos/EL5u6-x86_64 # exportfs *:/isos/EL5u6-x86_64/
When you create the virtual machine, enter the installation location in the Network Boot Path field in the Create Virtual Machine wizard as:
Example 7.2 Creating an installation tree on an HTTP server
This example creates an installation tree from an ISO file that can be accessed via HTTP. On the HTTP server, enter
# cd /var/www/html # mkdir EL5u6-x86_64 # mount -o ro,loop /path/Enterprise-R5-U6-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso EL5u6-x86_64
When you create the virtual machine, enter the installation location in the Network Boot Path field in the Create Virtual Machine wizard as:
If you have multiple ISO files, you can mount each ISO file and copy the contents into a single directory. All the ISO files are then available from the same location.

#1 Actors strike looms over Hollywood07-01-2008, 03:23 PM
Hollywood is preparing for another crippling strike after the largest actors union failed to agree on a new contract with the US entertainment industrys key studios and networks .
The 120,000-member Screen Actors Guild has been locked in talks with the studios for several weeks, with both sides working towards a deadline of midnight on Monday night.
Hollywood studios, facing an expiring contract and what they declared to be a ``de facto strike as film and television production slow, made a final offer to the guild and ended negotiations.
The proposal is worth $250 million to SAG members and is similar to agreements reached with directors, writers and a smaller actors union, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the studios negotiating agent, said on Monday. The union said it was`reviewing the complex package and will prepare a response to management once that analysis is complete.
So soon after the writers, people will be worn out with the effort of not caring about Hollywood.
This will not impact my life on any level. It's difficult to think of a more overrated profession. What is acting other than directed lying? How many great amateur liars are there?
If anything, dumping them all for a time could actually improve things. Commercials will now feature dogs instead of improbably perky actors. Loud voice-overs on infomercials can be replaced text. We will no longer fear inane movie remakes of inane sitcoms. This whole idea has a lot of potential. :)
The X-Files movie is already complete. I don't care about anything else.:)Loyalty Binds Me- Motto of Richard III

Vision of the Seas - Alaskaby Kuki,
The Vision's passengers tendered into Juneau, as the pier was already filled with the Dawn Princess, the Ryndam, and the NCL Sky. We were in one of the early groups getting off for shore excursions, and the process was fairly painless.
We were taken by bus to the Telemaco offices and landing pads to prepare for our excursion. They gave us Glacier boots that slid over our footwear, and climbed aboard our chopper for an amazing ride above Mendenhall Glacier, and over to Norris Glacier, where the dog camp is located. As we landed the sled dogs started barking wildly. I imagined they were begging not to be chosen for my sled. Each group was supplied with a musher (sled driver). Brian was our guy. He has us help hook up the team. At one point Tommy, one of the beautiful sled dogs, jumped up on me. Obviously begging me to spare him the ardous task. This team of dogs was amazing, carrying us across the snow covered glacier with ease. Brian stopped the sled a number of times to allow us time to relax, enjoy the view, and change positions. On one portion of the ride I was seated immediately behind the dogs. At that time a Kuki thought ocurred to me. That's why everyone wants to be the lead dog. For the others, the view never changes.

Tonight is Novel Quest, and I can't get wait to get our table mates into the game. They're all RCI rookies, so they don't know what to expect. Shhhhh, don't tell!
The adventure continues.....Next Installment Go to the Beginning of Kuki's Adventure

After receiving the Playstation 3 version of the Biohazard 5 demo, I spent most of the day creating a little article which compares the two. Keep in mind that the game has several weeks still until release, so most of the "issues" could end up being fixed and polished.
