Officials with Lancaster County's Coalition for Healthy Youth said this year's fourth Prevention of Youth Substance Abuse in Rural Communities conference was another success.
The three-day event, held March 7-10 at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster's Bradley building, drew about 150 drug-prevention specialists, counselors, ministers, school personnel, nonprofit administrators and others from as far away as Washington state.
The conference was funded, in part, by a $20,000 city of Lancaster hospitality tax grant.
Meet Adam Bailey, 13, a seventh-grade student at A.R. Rucker Middle School in Lancaster.
Easy going, with a wide, braces-filled smile, Bailey is tall for his age and slim, a runner on the Lancaster High School cross country team whose favorite class is math.
In his off-time, Baily is a Boy Scout in Troop 72, active in Second Baptist Youth, and like most teenagers, enjoys music. Favorite bands? The Strokes and, believe it or not, The Beatles.
And, oh yeah, he's also a great speller.
Do you have a rising Renoir creating masterpieces at home? Potential Picasso? Mini Matisse? Budding young artists can participate in the Del Webb Library at Indian Land's "Art Studio at the Library," a month-long event in March allowing children the chance to create their own artwork.
University of South Carolina at Lancaster's TRiO program honored Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Thursday with a celebration of his message of service to the community.
The theme for the event, attended by about 40 students and faculty members, was Plan+Serve=Impact.
TRiO Career/Cultural Specialist Matt Williamson said the celebration was an attempt to connect younger students with the civil rights movement.
While much attention has been focused on school closures due to the snow and ice event that gripped Lancaster County last week, one group of people was affected even more than students – their parents.
Faced with the loss of their daily de facto day care, many parents suddenly found themselves scrambling to make arrangements for what they were going to do with their children during the day while they were at work.
For many, like the self-employed photographer Amy Sapp of Frankly, Daisy Photography, it was a tough week.
Sometimes you find the most pleasing surprises in the most unexpected places.
Take, for example, the Art Attack Gift Shop at Lancaster High School.
Tucked between two art classes near the end of a hallway, the shop is located in a former storage room.
Though small, the room is stuffed with an amazing range artwork.
Lancaster District AME Zion Churches
INDIAN LAND – Fifteen teens participated in the Lancaster District AMEZ Churches' sixth annual Oratorical Exposé on Sept. 23.
The purpose of the speaking contest was to emphasize youth development in speaking publicly and to do research to improve personal skills.
He's faced with no running water, fortress-like walls and dark windows that block the sunshine.
He's a prisoner who feels all of life's joys and opportunities have been stripped away, yet he manages to stay positive. Through adversity, he finds himself and even discovers subtle joys amidst the pain.
This is the scenario in "Who Understands Me But Me," a Jimmy Santiago Baca poem recited by a Lancaster County high school student at Bundy Auditorium at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster.
INDIAN LAND – When Indian Land High School Principal Kathy Faris went looking for a program to help take her school to the next level academically, she settled on a collective theme.
Faris wanted an overarching theme that would tie together the school's diverse curriculum across all disciplines and grade levels, and give students a deeper understanding of what they were learning.
There was a whole world of ideas out there – and, ultimately, it was literally the world that the school settled on.
INDIAN LAND – It's 8 a.m. and the children in Traci Deese's class at Indian Land Elementary School are getting ready to go to Italy.
"Make sure you have your plane tickets, passports and suitcases," Deese shouts above the din of excited first-graders. "You cannot go if you do not have your plane ticket."
As the students line up to embark, suitcases in hand, Deese validates their tickets one by one, and they're off – to a classroom just down the hall where they'll learn everything there is to learn about Christmas in Italy.

First incident: Last weekend, our kindly goons detained a group of Ta'ayush activists who visited the Palestinian unrecognized village of Susya. They visited the place after "price tag" pogromchiks sprayed the slogans "price tag" and "death to Arabs" near the viilage. The Civil Administration – staffed, appropriately, by IDF officers and gunmen – denied the villagers permission to delete those slogans. The officer filing that decision…Read More... | 2 Comments

Despite doctors' refusal or ignorance, people are discovering these treatments on their own, thanks to the Internet, and to all the patient advocates who are spreading the word through their websites, blogs and books.
In my book, HONEST MEDICINE, I feature four such treatments that have been effectively treating (and, in some cases, curing) such serious illnesses and conditions as multiple sclerosis, lupus, Crohn's disease, pediatric epilepsy, liver disease, some cancers and non-healing wounds for many years. And even before the publication of my book, I was writing about treatments like these on my award-winning blog.
The treatment that started me on this quest is Silverlon, a simple mesh cloth impregnated with silver ions. Silverlon literally saved Tim's life in 2002, when his doctors' treatments—repeated surgeries—were only making his condition (a non-healing head wound following brain tumor surgery) worse. This experience dramatically changed my understanding of how doctors treat patients, and what we can do to help ourselves get the treatments we need—treatments that can improve and even save lives.
To summarize this paradigm-shifting experience: In 2001, Tim walked into the hospital for a brain tumor surgery in relatively good condition. He sailed through the surgery itself, only to experience skin that wouldn't heal along the suture line.
For eight months, doctors performed yet more surgeries—eight in all—whose sole purpose was to find two pieces of skin that would hold together. They even performed one surgery where they took pieces of skin—grafts—from other parts of his body. None of these surgeries worked. In fact, they only made him worse, until finally, he was severely brain injured and paralyzed from the surgical assaults on his body.
Desperately in search of solutions, through a doctor friend I found Silverlon, and it worked literally overnight.
Yet, to my surprise (shock, really), although Tim's doctors witnessed this miracle firsthand, not one of them showed the slightest interest in learning about this treatment—a treatment which is FDA-approved for ALL non-healing wounds.
To make matters worse, Tim's doctors all warned me that our success might have been a fluke. In any case, they were quite sure it was "anecdotal." Of course, I knew it was neither a fluke, nor anecdotal. I'd seen the benefits of Silverlon firsthand. And so had they.
Upset that Tim's doctors weren't at all interested in learning about Silverlon, I reached out to the National Brain Tumor Foundation, and wrote an article for their newsletter, SEARCH (http://honestmedicine.typepad.com/National-Brain-Tumor-Foundation-Article.pdf). Naïvely, I hoped that other doctors would read my article and become excited about Silverlon—and that our success would be repeated many times over in the years to come for other brain tumor patients with non-healing wounds. It didn't happen then. And it still hasn't happened. I hope that my book and my articles (like this one) will provide the necessary impetus for people to learn about Silverlon and the other treatments I write about.

Since the moment i purchased the Funny Car, which was only a couple days after it was released, i had questions regarding The et-3s/et-2400 brushless system. Questions that had no answers printed in the owners manual, nor posted anywhere on the Traxxas site. Then I became one of the first few members here to run this Funny Car brushless system in another Traxxas platform when i installed the system into my HR P2DE XL. Because i have been running the system a little while, i tend to get a lot of questions regarding the ET-3s esc, questions that i could not answer due to the lack of specs posted about this esc.
I decided to send an email over to Castle Creations to see if i could get the answers to the most frequently asked questions about the et-3s, that i (and many others) have been seeking... And Castle came through and answered all of em to the best of their knowledge.
Here ya go:

Hey guys,
Now i realize that the et-3s is a MMP based esc because the Castle Link Program states that it is, but i cant find any specs for the et-3s at all, anywhere.
I (as well as many other Traxxas forum members) would really like to know some more information about the et-3s such as;
- Is the et-3s capable of the same max input voltage (6s) as the MMP? (it can be programmed for 6s lipo cut-off in castle link)
-Is the sensor port on the et-3s functional/operational? (options for the sensor port can also be changed in the castle link program)
- What is the function of the capacitor on the battery leads? Glitch buster?
- When trying to run a crawler motor (novak 18.5 sensored) with the et-3s, the lvc activates at anything over half throttle. I read about this happening with MMP controllers with firmware 1.38 paired with novak crawler motors, and the issue was remedied by simply reverting to a previous firmware version (1.32) How can I remedy this for the et-3s since there is no option to install previous firmware versions in the Castle link program?
- We would like to know the detailed specs of the ET-3s such as max voltage, motor limits, motor types it can run, etc. All the good stuff!
- Also, is the et-2400 (blue can) the exact same motor as your 2400? Does it have the same specs as your 2400?
- Do you have any plans to upgrade the internal bec of your land controllers? We have been having glitching, range and brown out issues running Savox high torque servos and a few others and needed to install your external bec. Some of us have all Traxxas tqi telemetry sensors installed as well as led lights, castle quick connect adapters etc and it makes for a LOT of extra wiring which could be lessened by not having to run an external bec.
Re: Speed Controller, 12/3/2012 3:35 PM
Yes, it has the same ratings as the regular Mamba Max Pro. As for the sensor port, we don't really know if it is functional or not. It most likely is but we are not sure. The capacitor is on the ESC to help with the Amp spikes during the run time of the vehicle. As for the LVC with a crawler motor, there isn't any way to revert back to an older version, however; you can flash the existing firmware and see if that helps. There isn't a motor limit on that ESC per say, It all depends on what vehicle your running, what voltage you are running and what gearing you are running. I am really not sure if the Traxxas 2400 and our 2400 are the exact same, I do know that the Traxxas 2400 is based off of our 2400. They haven't let us know of any plans on upgrading the on board BEC on our car and truck ESC's.

So there you have it! Funny Car 4-5-6s lipo speed runs anyone? Should be interesting....
Sure am glad i scooped up 4 more of the et-3s esc's off ebay chop shops when they were selling for 65-70 bucks shipped, cuz now i have a total of 5 MMP's! Total bonus.
Have fun with the new Funny Missile! Lol
Never trust an "Atom", they make up everything.
Awesome news!, i only picked up my funny car last week, havent got to use it yet due to weather etc. Good to know that the esc is basically the MMP! and the motor basically the 2400.
Good job!
So its this pretty much? (Castle Creations Mamba Max Pro 1/10 Scale Short Course Brushless Combo w/Neu-Castle 1415(2400kV)

Thanks for getting answers to the questions that we've been wondering about all this time. No matter its a win for the controller IMO. I own 2 myself and have been really happy with them. Another good thing is it comes with CLL. I just currently have it turned off though.
Gotta love the answer for the Sensor port and the ET-2400 motor.
I call it double SCORE!!

I think i'm more pumped about the esc being able to handle up to 6s lipos, especially for my HR P2de xl which can always use more juice! I think it will take some serious driving skills to top the funny car out on anything more than 3s, but it would be cool to see someone surpass the big 1-0-0 mark. Since we had over 2 feet of snowfall in november, im out of the running... For now. Paddles and skis maybe? lol

I can understand that. 6s Lipo is a lot of juice. haha I think I could see 4s maybe. Want to switch weather for a few days? An abnormally warm start to December for us, been in the 80s so far and mid 70's for the rest of the week. Plus i'd love to have a chance to run paddles on some snow.

While I never called Castle about the ESC.....I did speak with Traxxas and they seem to believe that running the ET-3s on anything more than 3s can hurt the ESC....so I would only imagine 5-6s would only exaggerate that possibility!....If castle says that it can handle 6s I would really like to try it!....but why would Traxxas say otherwise?...it would be a great selling point for the ESC...or maybe they say this because they dont offer a 4-5-6 cell pack?.....
.....I tried hooking up a 6s pack.....no go....it wont even initialize....back to 3s and all is well.

I sent a reply to his email with our findings and i will post his response as soon as i get it. UNTIL THEN, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CONNECTING ANYTHING MORE THAN A 3s LIPO INTO THE ET-3s ESC, as Jack and I may have just been lucky to not have burned up our esc's.
Thank you Jack@HPL for being a guinea pig with me and verifying that it wont work, im just glad nothing catastrophic happened to your esc. Much appreciated.

Well, Daniel over at Castle Creations got back to me right away. Heres the reply:
Re: Speed Controller
I checked with the engineers, I was mistaken. That ESC was programed to be limited to 3s max. It is not able to be reprogrammed.

Oh well, at least we know now. The funny thing about the ET-3s is that the Castle Link Program recognizes it as a MMP, even the Duratrax Element ESC has its own specific programming with a Duratrax logo upon the program startup. But just like the the Et-3s, the element has the option for 4s lipo cutoff, but does not initialize when a 4s is plugged in.
RCTRAIN has tried the sensor port on his Et-3s and it appears to be functional with his crawler motor. Any other info I find on the Et-3s will also be posted here.

good to know!!.....and the sensor port functionality is great....I think with a nice sensored motor it will provide silky smooth launches.....with the current sensorless setup I see hit or miss launches using the 19t pinion ....its a bit too much gear I think.
Just tested the sensor capability of it and it does definitely work if I unplug the sensor cable it cogs if it is plugged in it doesn't cog

If Castle and Traxxas were on deck, they could make money off these escs without even having to sell any more of them. All they would have to do is sell the programming/firmware that unlocks the full power of the esc. As long as it was reasonably priced, id be all over it to unlock the full potential of all the et-3s escs i own. Probably wont happen though, cuz im sure the reasoning behind having a 6s capable esc programmed for 3s max is to cut down on warranty claims and repair services. It will be a lot less likely to kill a 6s capable esc with a 3s lipo. But id void my warranty voluntarily and pay extra for the unlock, especially considering the price i paid for these escs. At least i got myself a mamba monster during the black friday sale for 120 bucks, just incase i feel the 6s urge. Lol

FWIW... the latest MMP ESC I received (only a few days ago from tower) has a 7amp BEC setting. I set mine to 6.5 but it does go up to 7 in the castle link software. This is the newest MMP so im not sure if this is a firmware thing or if its internal... but it is interesting.
Sweet find Pave. I had to go to Castles website to check if they've posted anything new. All I see now it that it has a range between 5-7v for the BEC.
•Switching BEC powers your radio and servo all the way up to the 6S max input. Users may select the output for any voltage between 5V and 7V.

im sure he meant 7v ....alot of the newer high end servos can take it...and they are FAST.
Have you found any way to run 4s? All I need is one more cell. I plan to use this ET-3s in my E-Slayer I am building and need a 4s ESC and I just ordered one of the ET-3s cause of the price.

I wish someone would wright a custom firmware for the ET-3s. I would be happy with just 4s lipo, I don't need 6s. I want this to happen.
Sorry to dig up an old thread....
First and foremost, let me say that I have the the money to replace anything I break and understand the dangers involved in what I am attempting to do. What I am not 100% sure about is if this will violate forum rules. I have read them, and dont see any problem, but if it will be an issue I can seek help elsewhere.
I have a couple of these laying around. I want to attempt some fancy pants firmware magic (technical term) to unlock the esc. I have a few ideas, hardware expertise, and possibly the equipment to pull it off.
Is this acceptable to discuss here, or should I go elsewhere?
So long as everything is done with safety in mind, I don't think there will be any issue with it.
Since this is the FC subforum, and the FC is the only vehicle that uses the ET-3s ESC, I suppose it's the correct location for such a thread. However, I suggest a new thread be started.
Alt-248 on the number pad = °
here this will save people reading this thread time. this is a link to how to put genuine castle firmware on the et3s. and i can verify its capable of 6s after your done. there no difference between this and the mmp.
have at it.

Giselle begins in the village of Thuringen, located in the German Rhineland. Giselle, a lovely peasant girl with a weak heart and a passion for dancing, is courted by a young man known to her as Loys. He is, in fact, Albrecht, Duke of Silesia, disguised as a peasant. Loys vows eternal love for Giselle, but the mood is shattered by Hilarion, a woodsman. He has long been in love with Giselle, but she rejects him and makes clear her feelings for Loys. Hilarion is suspicious of Loys, and he angrily vows to uncover the true identity of this mystery man and separate the two lovers.
Giselle and Loys are met by friends and villagers on their way from the vineyards, and all join in a dance. But Berthe, Giselle's mother, admonishes the girl for dancing so much, afraid that her daughter's heart will give out. She tells Giselle and the villagers the story of the Wilis, young women who died before their wedding day and must spend eternity dancing. This, she fears, will be Giselle's fate. Berthe leads a reluctant Giselle indoors, and Loys takes his leave.
Horns sound in the distance, signaling the imminent arrival of a hunting party. Hilarion returns and breaks into Loys' hut as the horns sound again. The hunting party arrives, led by the Duke of Courland and his daughter, Bathilde, who are seeking sustenance.
As Giselle sees to her guests, Bathilde engages her in conversation. The noblewoman inquires whether Giselle has a boyfriend, and Giselle explains that she is engaged. Bathilde responds that she is also engaged and asks after Giselle's fiancé. Giselle says that she is looking for him but can't find him. Bathilde is charmed by Giselle, and requests the Duke's permission to present the girl with her necklace. Giselle is so delighted by the gift that, as a gesture of thanks, she dances for Bathilde.
The Duke and Bathilde go to Giselle's cottage for a rest, and the hunting party disperses. Hilarion emerges from Loys' hut holding his rival's sword. He notices the hunting horn hanging outside Giselle's cottage, and on closer examination, he sees that it is branded with the same crest as the sword. He feels vindicated, triumphant. But before he can expose Loys' deception to Giselle, the vintagers return. Hilarion hides the sword and waits.
Giselle's friends return and crown her Queen of the Vintage. Everyone dances in celebration of the harvest, including Giselle and Loys. But their revelry is interrupted by an angry Hilarion, who rushes toward Giselle and denounces Loys as a deceiver. He presents the sword as proof. Giselle does not want to believe him. Hilarion summons the hunting party with the horn, and Loys, or Albrecht, can no longer conceal his identity. Not only is he a nobleman, but he is engaged to Bathilde! Giselle is distraught beyond measure. She stabs herself with Albrecht's sword and sinks into madness. Weakened physically and emotionally, she collapses and dies.
Giselle has been buried in a forest, close to a lake. Hilarion comes to grieve at her grave, but does not linger; he senses the presence of Wilis.
Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis, summons her subjects to appear and assist her in initiating Giselle to their sisterhood. The Wilis hide about the forest as Albrecht, full of remorse and sorrow, comes to mourn at Giselle's grave and seek her forgiveness. She suddenly appears before him, and he runs off in pursuit of her. Meanwhile, Hilarion has been found in the forest by the Wilis. On Myrtha's orders, they make him dance until he is exhausted and then cast him into the lake, where he dies.
Now Albrecht's presence is revealed, and Myrtha commands that he, too, must die. Giselle intervenes, telling him to seek shelter at the cross of her grave, where she stands in protection. But the vengeful Myrtha orders Giselle to dance. She obeys, and Albrecht is soon drawn to her. They beg the Wilis to help them, but their pleas are rebuffed. They begin a pas de deux, and Myrtha now realizes how Albrecht will meet his death. She will see to it that he dances until he dies.
A weary Albrecht pleads to put a halt to his dancing. His entreaty is refused. Giselle again pleads for his life, but she cannot sway Myrtha. Albrecht continues to dance, until he collapses from exhaustion. But the darkness of the forest is broken by the first light of dawn, banishing the Wilis. Giselle returns to the earth. Albrecht, overcome by his love for Giselle and by the generosity of her forgiveness, is left to weep at her grave.

Think back to the year 2000, if you will.
Panic about the impending clock change had just passed, Pepsi Twist was the hot new soda, "Gladiator" was the big blockbuster, and nobody bought Cadillacs.
Well, nobody cool or even remotely young bought Cadillacs, anyway.
The Wreath and Shield brand was relegated almost entirely to the retired crowd without a lot of hope for a future turnaround. Today, 13 years later, there's been a massive shift, as Cadillac has started tearing up showroom floors almost as fast as it finishes hot laps around the Nurburgring.
In 2000, people in the market for an entry-level Caddy could opt for the Catera, a lightly rebadged Opel Omega. Not surprisingly, very few people wanted the car that Car & Driver equated to "a fat guy climbing steps." For 2013, the entry-level Cadillac is the super-capable rear-wheel-drive ATS. What a difference 13 years, a bankruptcy and some fresh new thinking makes! The ATS not only competes with the best from Germany, it is also doing its job of bringing in new, younger buyers.
In fact, one dealer in Texas did something recently that was unheard of 13 years ago: He helped a young mother fit a Cadillac with a child seat for a test drive. There are still plenty of older buyers contributing to Cadillac's bottom line, but that dealer, in a Bloomberg interview, said he's getting, "a pretty diverse group that's coming through the door now who are younger and better educated."
That's exactly what any automaker wants to hear, especially one that's struggled with the label of "old man's car." The ATS helped GM to a 49% increase in Cadillac sales in March, the sixth straight month of growth for the brand. Those numbers were enough for Cadillac to overtake Acura as the fourth best selling luxury brand in America.
Considering the success of the ATS, the coming 2014 Cadillac CTS should keep the momentum going. Assuming, of course, its ultra-popular younger brother doesn't steal potential customers.
Do you still see Cadillac as a car for older people? With the new ATS, the brand may be as youthful as any!

How Mitt Romney would govern
Mitt Romney's transition team — dubbed the "Readiness Project" — has stepped up its activities as the nominee has surged in the polls, planning a series of modest but quick accomplishments should he win and bracing for the likelihood Romney would butt heads with House Republicans as he seeks a fiscal "grand bargain."
The team is plotting out a delicate exercise of power for a possible President Romney — wanting to show speedy action to improve the economy while taking pains to avoid over-promising, given the narrow margins Republicans will enjoy in Congress, even if they take back the Senate.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Romney's budget math haunted by Ryan)
The difference would be felt most immediately and acutely on health reform. Romney's repeated promise to "repeal Obamacare" is sure to be curtailed, even with a Republican Senate, his advisers admit. One official said that under a Democratic Senate, "we would just have to try to grind out changes by starving Obamacare through regulations."
"In the campaign, there's a lot of bravado about jamming things down people's throats," a Romney official said. "But that's not really Romney. That's not his style. He's a pragmatist."
Working with government-issued emails and office space on C Street Southwest, Romney's team is calling its opening legislative agenda a "200-day plan," rather than the storied 100-day lingo of President John F. Kennedy, because the current toxic climate makes it too tough to promise much in only three months, aides say.
( Also on POLITICO: 'Discovery' show on White House transitions)
The aides and advisers insisted on confidentiality because they wanted to avoid seeming presumptuous and don't want to be seen as measuring the drapes, even though that is the precise mandate of the transition crew.
One Republican official who talks frequently to top campaign aides said Romney doesn't plan "an ideological crusade — he wants to come across as a problem solver, primarily on the economic side."
"That's very different from [George W.] Bush in '01," the Republican official said. "Everything Romney does is going to be focused on bringing down barriers to economic growth and providing certainty to businesses on taxes and regulation. He realizes that until you do that, you can't make a lot of sweeping, revolutionary changes."
Already, Romney aides know they have promised more than they can pull off. Talk of immigration reform in the first year — a Romney promise from the second presidential debate — caused aides to roll their eyes.
( Also on POLITICO: What the campaigns really meant)
Conservatives do expect Romney to make a handful of changes by executive decree in the first 48 hours if he is elected president, however. Among them: Re-implementing the "Mexico City policy" that prohibits federally funded nongovernmental organizations from promoting or performing abortions and issuing waivers to states that don't want to participate in elements of the Affordable Care Act.
One of the biggest worries for a Romney administration, according to the aides, will be keeping conservative lawmakers happy when the most urgent task, dealing with the nation's fiscal emergency, is going to immediately alienate the loud, powerful wing of House Republicans that is resistant to raising revenues, even though their leaders recognize it is a mathematical necessity.

3.5 stars (out of 4)
When she first started making albums in the '80s, Sam Phillips showed a knack for shaping first-rate songs steeped in melody with psychedelic and chamber-rock textures. On "Push Any Button" (Littlebox), she's once again making concise pop songs with a folk foundation, centered on acoustic guitar and voice but colored with strings, horns, keyboards and the occasional backward guitar effect. The 10 tracks breeze past in 29 minutes, and the singer-songwriter doesn't waste any of them.
A dark undertow unsettles the album even at its brightest and most upbeat. Nothing is ever as easy or obvious as it seems for the adult characters portrayed in the lyrics, and those ambiguities give the songs a bittersweet resonance. "When I'm Alone" locks into a fast-strumming groove as if trying to push through a heartbreaking past, the narrator finally realizing she can move on after a break-up. Horns swing as "All Over Me" offers a world-weary celebration, of sorts: "The dark is gone" but "I'm not holding on to anything." The brisk, countryish bouyancy of "You Know I Won't" offsets a tale of turmoil and resilience.
Phillips never resorts to histrionics as a vocalist, and her songs are stripped of excess. She delivers a line such as "Never could go with the crowd" with dry understatement. It's as close to a career summation as we'll get from this brilliant if underappreciated artist. All the more reason to savor "Can't See Straight," with its keyboard ornamentation and offbeat glow. "This world is so beautiful," she sings, "for no reason at all."

Staying Safe with Online Backup and Remote Access Services/
As a lawyer, you have an ethical duty to ensure that your clients' electronic information. What steps are reasonable to protect data and documents in your firm?
As a lawyer, you have an ethical duty to ensure that your clients' electronic information is not lost, destroyed, or disclosed inadvertently. Some states have ethical opinions specifically addressing electronic information. In other states, the existing rules and opinions applicable to paper documents logically extend to electronic documents.
You do not need an ethics board to tell you that you should protect your clients' confidential materials from destruction and disclosure. But it is all too easy to become complacent. Focusing on your ethical duties regarding electronic information may motivate you to make some changes to protect your clients, your practice, and your professional status.
Duty to Back Up Clients' Data
You have a duty to take reasonable steps to protect the electronic information of your clients. The American Bar Association's Model Rule of Professional Conduct 1.15 obligates you to ensure that client property is appropriately safeguarded. This duty has been interpreted to extend not only to client funds and personal property but also to papers and the client's file itself (see Florida Bar Ethics Committee Opinion 63-3). It also has been extended to a client's electronic information (see Arizona Opinion 05-04).
What steps are reasonable to protect your data and documents? They are not spelled out precisely by opinions interpreting the ethical rules. The existing opinions indicate that the materials you need to back up include electronic communications, financial data, and documents that you have generated or received in the course of representing your clients. But they do not specify particular backup methods.
Duty to Maintain Off–Site Backups
In my opinion you have an obligation to maintain secure off-site backups of your clients' electronic data and documents as one of your "reasonable steps" to protect your clients and your practice. This opinion, from a lawyer and consultant who has used and studied backup devices and services since the 1970s, is based on the opinions interpreting the Rules of Professional Conduct and on the development that backing up computers to off-site locations has become the norm in the legal profession as well as the business world.
Offices that have gone mostly or completely paperless are not the current norm, so you are not obligated to scan all of your clients' paper materials into electronic files and back them up. But as part of your "reasonable steps," you must protect all of the important electronic materials that are important to your representation of your clients.
In your office, your data, backup disks, tapes, and papers are exposed to destruction and loss from a long list of threats: building fires, theft, floods, tornados, hurricanes, and earthquakes, among others. Despite your appreciation of these threats, no precautions can guarantee they will not destroy everything in your office. Therefore, off-site backups are critical to protect your practice and your clients' information.
Electronic off-site backups make practical sense, too. Compared to making and transporting paper client file materials, it is far less costly and time consuming to back up and transfer electronic information off-site. Electronic backups reduce both the hard and soft costs of retrieving and storing information and protecting it from destruction and improper access.
Problems with Traditional Off–Site Backup
Tape backup systems have long been the most popular method for maintaining off-site backups. You can meet your ethical duties by regularly creating, rotating off-site, and testing backup tapes; however, tape backup systems have significant disadvantages.
Information on backup tapes is vulnerable to undetected mechanical defects in backup units and to deterioration and defects in the tapes. Compatible backup units and software may be difficult to obtain or unavailable in the event of an emergency that destroys the original unit. The time-consuming nature of performing test restores from backup tapes means that these vital verification procedures are performed infrequently or not at all.
My colleagues in the field of legal technology consulting and I have sad stories to tell about law firms that discovered to their horror that their backup tapes were bad or badly out-of-date. The most significant limitation of backup tape systems is their repeated exposure to human errors and oversights. Tapes must be manually ejected, reloaded, and rotated physically off-site. Too often these mundane operations are performed erratically or improperly.
Backing up to external hard drives suffers from most of the disadvantages of tape cartridges. A hard drive typically has a useful life of three years and is susceptible to damage from shock, dust, water, and other environmental factors. Most drives are not designed to be archived and left in a powered-off state for long periods of time. And again, rotating these backup volumes leaves too much room for human errors and oversights.
The problems with traditional off-site backup methods do not make them worthless. Keep using them if you have them in place and add an online system to provide superior backup protection.
Why Online Backups?
A number of lawyers have said: "I wouldn't trust my confidential data to the Internet!" That fear may be natural, but it is not well-founded. The right online backup services give lawyers much more safety and security than traditional backup systems.
Today's encryption technology affords complete confidentiality to information transmitted across the Internet. Strong encryption methods have been exposed to the brightest minds and the best hackers since 1993, yet they have not been broken.
The science of encryption has advanced to the point where it has become usable, affordable, and unbreakable. Using a modern computer that processes 400,000 12-character passwords per second, it would take 42 billion years to break Blowfish strong encryption. Even though computer processing power continues to double every 18 months, the mathematics of encryption science proves that strong encryption will remain safe far into the future.
When competently designed and implemented, online backup systems have compelling advantages. Only online backup systems deliver these crucial protections:
- Automatic operation, eliminating reliance on manual rotation by people
- Unattended electronic transfer to off-site locations
- Efficient creation of redundant backups in different locations
- Option for continuous, 24/7 backup of new information
- Fast, secure access to any backed–up file
- Instant capability to perform selective test restores
Rotating tape or hard drive backups cannot deliver the peace of mind you get from online systems. You can select and remotely access any backed-up document in a full-featured online backup system. Performing that test shows you immediately that your backup system really is working.
Your Specific Backup System Duties
What are your specific obligations regarding backup systems?
A firm acts within the ethical rules if it subscribes to an online backup service provided it ensures that the security of the data transmission and storage is adequate for the sensitivity of the records (Opinion 99-03, Ethics Committee, ND, www.sband.org/data/ethics/99-03.pdf).
According to the ABA's Model Rule on Financial Recordkeeping (www.abanet.org/cpr/clientpro/fpreface.html ), "If trust records are computerized, a system of regular and frequent (preferably daily) back-up procedures is essential." Many states have followed the Model Rule, for example, Minnesota: "Electronic records should be regularly backed up by an appropriate storage device" (Maintenance of Books and Records, Appendix 1, Minnesota Rules of Profession Conduct).
Either you must competently set up and run a reasonable backup system or you must hire a competent vendor to do so. Arizona Ethics Opinion 05-04 states that, consistent with the attorney's duty to prevent the loss or destruction of a client's electronic information, an attorney must either be competent to evaluate the threat to client electronic files and deploy appropriate computer hardware and software, or retain an expert consultant who has that competence. Presumably your use of a reputable online backup company would satisfy your duty to take reasonable protective steps.
The bargain-priced, consumer-oriented online backup companies do not measure up. They have standard terms of service that disclaim any responsibility for the security of their services. You should select a vendor that either allows you to keep the only password to your encrypted data or a vendor that will make a written commitment to keep your information confidential. Many online backup companies do not give you the exclusive option to keep the only password. They can access your data either with your password or with a "back door" to your data. If your vendor retains the ability to access your clients' confidential data, you have added duties. You must:
- Inform the vendor of your obligation to protect the confidentiality of the data
- Ensure that the vendor has an enforceable obligation to preserve the confidentiality and security of the confidential information (New Jersey Opinion 701)
Duties Regarding Remote Access Services
When communicating with clients, attorneys have an ethical duty to protect their confidential communications from disclosure to others. Virtual meeting services allow attorneys to confer with clients by telephone while sharing control of the same computer screen. When using these services, attorneys must take reasonable steps to prevent the interception of confidential information.
Although there does not appear to be an ethics opinion directly addressing the issue, Massachusetts Opinion 05-04 supports this duty. It states: "A law firm may provide a third-party software vendor with access to confidential client information stored on the firm's computer system. . . ." The opinion requires that the firm make "reasonable efforts" to ensure that any independent service provider protect confidential information.
Current encryption technology can be used to secure remote access sessions. For example, two popular remote access services illustrate the kinds of features and protections that are important for attorneys.
GoToMyPC (www.gotomypc.com) from Citrix Online is best known as a service that enables you to access your unattended computer while you are out of the office, but it may also be used for a virtual meeting with one client. GoToMeeting (www.gotomeeting.com ), also from Citrix Online, allows you to share your screen with up to 15 other people. Each of these services encrypts the streams of information exchanged between the participating computers using end-to-end 128-bit AES encryption, the standard selected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and used by the U.S. government to protect sensitive information.
Although unencrypted information transferred across the Internet is inherently insecure, end-to-end encryption keeps the transfer stream secure from the moment it leaves one computer until it arrives at another. Not all vendors provide this level of protection, so make sure you use a service that uses both strong encryption—128-bit AES or better—and end-to-end encryption.
Based on advances in ease of use and security, virtual meetings are well worth the small effort and cost to set them up. Using a remote access or virtual meeting service, attorneys and clients can make changes to documents and immediately see the results. Diagrams, charts, spreadsheets, and photographs can all be shared, changed, and discussed together. Travel time and the associated unproductive expenses are eliminated.
Action Steps
Safeguarding your clients' electronic information is your ethical duty—and with the tools available today, it's not that hard to do. Just remember the following key points: Back up your electronic client information and vital law practice data using an automatic, encrypted online backup service; choose an online backup service that gives you exclusive access to your files or a written assurance of confidentiality; periodically check your backups by restoring files from them; and, finally, use remote access and virtual meeting services that provide end-to-end strong encryption.

Did the last guy leave you something "special" buried under the paint? Replace that battered doorskin with a new one from YearOne.
For a hobby that openly prides itself on brotherhood, integrity, charity, and social responsibility, hot rodding sure is filled with an apparently limitless number of scoundrels who will sell you a car whose body is loaded with unseen rot and mayhem. If you've ever handed over your hard-earned Benjamins to one of Craigslist's finer proponents, congratulations! You've experienced that special thrill of finding a prize in the bottom of your automotive Crackerjacks.
We know that pain. Being gainfully employed at a well-known car magazine is no vaccination against buying a pooch packed with poor quality bodywork. Our '68 was thusly ravaged. After stripping off all the paint, we uncovered the full extent of the carnage. It looked like the Nova had hit an iceberg on its starboard side, starting at the fender and gashing all the way to the quarter-panel. Unlike the Titanic, the Nova hadn't slipped to the bottom of the sea, but found itself in the hands of a jackleg with an unbridled passion for putty.
Up to a point, it's more economical to repair a damaged doorskin. Nevertheless, when the rust or physical damage is too extensive, your best bet is to replace the doorskin. Even a high-quality doorskin like the one we got from YearOne isn't that expensive (under $180), and the tools and techniques required to replace it aren't that extensive, so the threshold of making the decision to replace it is actually pretty low. (Note: Such is not the case for the quarter-panel, which we also needed to replace. That operation is far more complex. We'll have that for you in a later issue.)
With these tips, you'll be armed with the knowledge and confidence to replace a doorskin the right way. It's so easy—especially with the doorskin installation tool from Eastwood—that the job can be done in about three hours, not including paint. This is one job you should not be afraid to take on at home; the only tool of note that you want to make sure to have on hand is a good MIG welder; we like the dual-voltage Millermatic 211 with Autoset. It's got foolproof automatic settings for wire feed and amperage; it's the perfect tool for this job since only minimal welding skill is required, and all you'll be doing are small spot welds.
As mentioned in last month's paint stripping story ("Life's A Blast"), we're getting some great help from Outlaw Motorsports, and shop owner Ron Aschtgen walked us through the doorskin replacement procedure, a job he's tackled on muscle car restorations many times. On a scale of 1 to 10, replacing a doorskin is about a 4, so follow along, and don't be afraid to dive right in!
|Passenger-side doorskin, '68-69 Nova

|Spray-on Rust Converter
Tools You'll Need

Tears and anger among Ukrainians in US, Canada
NEW YORK (AP) — The news of conflict and bloodshed in another part of the world hit close to home for Ukrainians living in the United States and Canada, as they worried about what would come next for their violence-torn homeland.
Late reports Wednesday of a truce between President Viktor Yanukovych and protest leaders were met with caution, amid tears and anger.
"I wish that Yanukovych and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin would hang in the Maidan," said Chrystyna Pevny of Queens, referring to the protesters' camp in Kiev's Independence Square.
"I think that even that is too good for them," the 80-year-old said as she left the Ukrainian Museum on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
The cautionary fears appeared to have been borne out when the truce collapsed hours later, with fierce clashes erupting between protesters and police.
Ukraine is divided over whether the nation of 46 million will have closer ties to the West or to Russia. The protests began in late November after Yanukovych turned away from a long-anticipated deal for closer ties with the European Union. After Yanukovych shelved the agreement with the EU, Russia announced a $15 billion bailout for economically battered Ukraine.
Protesters accuse Yanukovych of ignoring their demands to enact constitutional reforms that would limit the president's power — a key opposition demand.
The United States raised the prospect of joining partners in Europe to impose sanctions against Ukraine, and the European Union called a meeting of its 28 member countries on Thursday.
Later Wednesday, Yanukovych and leaders of the protests agreed halt the violence and to hold talks on ending the bloodshed. But as the foreign ministers of three European countries met with Yanukovych, after their meeting with the opposition leaders, clashes broke out again Thursday. Neither side appeared willing to compromise.
Yaakov Dov Bleich, who is the chief rabbi of Kiev and Ukraine but splits his time between there and New York City, reacted cautiously. He noted the enormity of clashes between government forces and protesters this week that have left 28 people dead and 287 hospitalized. Protesters say the number is actually much higher.
"I think it's going to be very hard to rebuild trust between people and the president," Bleich said.
In the Pittsburgh area, Ukrainian churches and social clubs organized weekend memorials for those who died and called for a stronger response by the U.S. and the European Union.
"It's disheartening for everybody, to see people struggling who want freedom," said the Rev. Timothy Tomson, pastor of St. Mary Ukrainian Orthodox Church in McKees Rocks.
In Canada, home to more than 1 million people of Ukrainian descent, there was fear the violence could spread. Before news of the truce was announced, Toronto resident Steve Andrusiak feared the country was "on the brink of a civil war. This isn't going to go away."
Pavlo Bandrisky, vice president of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America's Illinois division, said that Ukrainians in the U.S. are worried about their loved ones, but that the violence they all fear will only unite the people there more. There are about a million Americans of Ukrainian descent.
"We're all disgusted," said Bandrisky, whose parents came to the U.S. in 1949 after years in World War II labor camps. "People have been coming out in freezing rain, snow and subzero temperatures, but now that there's blood on the streets ... there's no turning back."
Associated Press writers Kevin Begos in Pittsburgh, Rob Gillies in Toronto and Tammy Webber in Chicago contributed to this report.

As everybody surely knows, Scarlett Johansson is the sexiest woman alive. But whereas many women would be thrilled to hold such a title, Johansson wants more. What she really wants is to sing, and she's doing so on her new album, Anywhere I Lay My Head.
What's immediately interesting is that the record isn't the expected repository for the likes of Stargate and their ilk; rather, it's made up entirely of Tom Waits covers. And Johansson has attracted major cred players such as TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek, who produced, and David Bowie, who contributes vocals to two tracks, Falling Down and Fannin Street.
For his part, Bowie waxes enthusiastic as to Johansson's skills behind a mic. "Scarlett's performances are mystical and twice cool," he says. "She creates a mood that could have been summoned by someone like Margery Latimer or Jeanette Winterson."
Which is exactly what we were thinking, especially while staring at the photo above. But the big question is, What do you think? Rhino Records and Atco Entertainment have released six of Johansson's tracks for an exclusive preview. Check them out and tell us your thoughts. If you can pull yourself away from the photo, that is.

Source: Boston Common Magazine
Boston Common Magazine
Spring 2006 Issue
hes made her mark in big-studio productions like Spider Man 2, Seabiscuit, and Catch Me if You Can, and in indie films like The Baxter and The Sisters. (And who could forget her, um, orgasmic and seriously funny performance as a sexual adventuress opposite Steve Carell in The 40-Year-Old Virgin?) Now, fresh-faced Pittsfield native Elizabeth Banks is set to break out on her own in this summers Invincible, as the love interest of Vince Papale (played by Mark Wahlberg), a Philadelphia Eagles fan who answered an open tryout and made the team. And equally high-profile projects are sure to follow. We caught up with the actress in California as she was celebrating her 32nd birthday.
Boston Common: With five movies out last year, you seem to be one of the busiest actresses in Hollywood. What are you working on currently?
Elizabeth Banks: I was supposed to start work on a movie February 15, but it just got pushed, so I dont know whats happening with it. Its David O. Russells new movie [The H-Man Cometh] starring Vince Vaughn and myself. So well see. In the fall I finished Invincible with Mark Wahlberg, my fellow Massachusetts actor.
BC: Did you know Mark Wahlberg before shooting Invincible?
EB: No, Id never met him. I met him in New York City maybe a month and a half before we started filming, and he was very funny. I said, Oh, where are you from in Boston? My moms from Winthrop. And he said, I went to jail in Winthrop. That was the first thing out of his mouth. I thought it was very funny.
BC: Was he great to work with?
EB: He was. He is a doll. He has a great reputation and he totally lives up to it. He was a total sweetheart. And he was really good in the movie. I was so proud of him, and I was excited to work with him.
BC: Invincible is based on a true story, right?
EB: Yeah. I always find it really interesting to play real people. Vince Papale, who Mark plays, and his wife Janet, who I play, were there every day on the set and bringing their kids by and visiting us all the time. It was a really cool experience to be telling this familys story and theyre right there. It was the same with Seabiscuityou feel this real obligation to make a great movie because its about someones life, and you know all their friends and family are going to go see it.
BC: Invincible was shot in Philadelphia, and you went to the University of Pennsylvania.
EB: We filmed almost the whole thing in Philly. I love Philly. I spent my summer at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in western Massachusetts, which is where I grew up, and then I spent my fall in Philadelphia, which is where I went to college, so I considered 2005 [when Invincible was shot] my homecoming year. It was neat.

In a five-part series, NBC News' Jay Barbree lays out a vision of spaceflight in the 20-teens for the 2012 presidential candidates.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — There's a house in Earth orbit.
It's called the International Space Station with five bedrooms, two baths, a gym and a 360-degree bay window.
It got there thanks to more than a decade of construction flights by America's space shuttles and Russia's big Proton rockets and Soyuz spacecraft.
It cost $100 billion, and it's owned by 15 nations. A crew of six live aboard, taking care of maintenance chores, doing science as best they can — passing the days on a fixed orbital track inclined 51.6 degrees with the equator, at heights about 250 miles.
Then and now
Forty-three years ago, on July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Hours after the landing, Neil Armstrong took humanity's first steps on a celestial body beyond Earth. "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," Armstrong said. Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent 21 hours and 36 minutes on the moon's surface.
One year ago, on July 20, 2011, the four crew members of the shuttle Atlantis spent their final full day in space. Atlantis commander Chris Ferguson noted the Apollo 11 anniversary and said "I consider myself fortunate that I was there to actually remember the event." Atlantis made the final landing of the space shuttle program the next day.
For the past decade this international orbiting outpost has been teaching us how to live in space, doing it within hours of Earth's safety. It's akin to learning how to stand clinging to the rails of one's crib. As members of the Earth-moon system, we are not yet free of our cradle.
If we wish to be free, we should start by moving about our entire home.
The fact is that Earth and the moon make up one celestial system. Neither world could survive without the other. It is the center of this dual system, rather than the center of Earth itself, that describes an elliptical orbit around the sun in accordance with Kepler's laws. It is also more accurate to say that Earth and moon together revolve about their common center of mass, rather than to say the moon revolves about Earth. This common center of mass lies beneath Earth's surface, about 3,000 miles from our planet's central point.
The Hubble Space Telescope has detailed a long-anticipated galactic smash-up between our neighboring galaxy Andromeda and our Milky Way. But not to worry, say astronomers — our sun and Earth-moon system should easily survive what will be a galactic merger proceeding at 1.2 million miles per hour.
If the Earth-moon system is our home, shouldn't we be caretakers of both worlds? You wouldn't manicure your front yard and leave your back to become overgrown with weeds. Shouldn't exploration of our own place and the Earth-moon system's Lagrange points (all five of them) be our baby steps? Wouldn't it be silly to go trotting off to asteroids and Mars, millions of miles away, before we knew our way around our own neighborhood?
NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden was asked, "When are we going to Mars?" He answered, "I don't know how to get to Mars."
Everyone laughed, knowing that one day we would know.
For now, as Neil Armstrong says, "The lunar vicinity is an exceptional location to learn about traveling to more distant places."
From the earth to the moon?
Wouldn't it be great if we could use the International Space Station to chart a new orbit stretching from Earth to the moon? The simple answer is that we are fast approaching having the technology — technology we can afford. The costs could be covered by the 15 nations supporting what might well become the International Space Vehicle. Turning the ISS into the ISV could recoup much of the group's $100 billion investment. Even more members could join, reducing the costs for all — promoting harmony, keeping disagreements at a minimum among many of Earth's people.
You may say that moving the station can't be done. You might think the rocket power needed would rip the fragile space station apart. That's correct, if you use rocketry from the space shuttle era.
Gene McCall, retired chief scientist for the Air Force Space Command, suggests a different way to do it.
"Low thrust systems applied continuously for days, or even months, can move the space station to the moon without disturbing a crew member's drink," McCall told me in an email. "The Ad Astra VASMIR engine is, for example, an initial step in the right direction. A constant thrust only 10 times that achieved so far by Astronaut Hall Of Fame Member Dr. Franklin R. Chang Diaz could move the ISS to the moon. It is truly amazing an engine with only 11 pounds of thrust can move a million-pound object over a distance of 240,000 miles. The key is that space is not only airless, it is also frictionless.
"The station is an ideal structure for accommodating people and cargo in a slow trip from the Earth to the moon. The house-size space platform could, after scouting the best places for humans to live on the lunar landscape, be used to help establish scientific outposts and to supply goods and people while teaching us how to go into, and how to live in space.
"And within a few years when we have the SLS heavy-lift rockets and the big Orion spacecraft we can go farther – as Neil Armstrong says, 'Learning how to fly to, and remain at, the Earth-moon Lagrangian points would be a superb precursor to flying to, and remaining at, much farther distances.'"
"The naysayers will surface immediately," McCall said, "but perhaps there will be enough qualified and competent forward thinkers to study the problems in a positive way and to accomplish one of the great future goals of humankind."
McCall pointed out that the Russians are already thinking about trips to the moon, and building a new six-person spaceship called the Advanced Crew Vehicle for the task. That just goes to show that Americans aren't the only ones thinking about the Earth-moon system.

Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: "Astronaut Abby" is at the controls of a social-media machine that is launching the 15-year-old from Minnesota to Kazakhstan this month for the liftoff of the International Space Station's next crew.
- Buzz Aldrin's vision for journey to Mars
- Giant black hole may be cooking up meals
- Watch a 'ring of fire' solar eclipse online
- Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Once we know how to live and care for our own system, once we've established an affordable, science-driven method of learning, moving steadily outward in logical increments, we will have taught ourselves how to reach Mars.
The question will be who should go? Will it be a global effort, or a task for Earth's leading nation?
It's likely the first Martians are already here. They are our sons and daughters, our grandsons and granddaughters, even our great-grandsons and great-granddaughters in their first years of school. They will grow up thinking about deep-space travel, and in the 2030s or 2040s they will decide to take the flight.
Will it be a return or a one-way trip? Will they establish a basic colony, being joined later by others, or will they return to family and friends on mother Earth?
God, what an exciting time it will be!
What a future for those who will live it!
How the Armstrongs, the Aldrins, the Glenns — all of us who were here for Mercury, Gemini and Apollo — would like to be around for the 21st century's greatest adventure!
Our mortality says we can't, but our spirits won't be far away.

Well, I read the transcript of Christie's newsconference.
Stupid hardly covers it. People often feel that "no-one will know; we can get away with this" and it is seldom the case. There is an element of failure of leadership in this. Part of Christie's job us to lead his staff, and these people obviously didn't get the message. Is that partly Christie's fault? I have no idea: it has been over 40 years since I was near New Jersey. But it is something that he should give some thought to.

I thought I would write a little howto on how to get cpu frequency scaling to work directly with the kernel modules. These modules are generally more efficient for performance computing and battery life.
kernel >= 2.6.9
Step 1: Enable BIOS Support
Enter your BIOS at boot and make sure Cool'n'Quiet (AMD) or SpeedStep (Intel) is enable for you CPU. Some BIOS may not have option at all. If that is the case it is probably enabled by default. Other BIOS may have the option but it is listed as another name altogether. If that is the case check your BIOS manual for more info.
Step 2: Remove Userspace Scaling Software
cpudynCode:sudo apt-get remove powernowd
Step 3: Install CPU ModuleCode:sudo apt-get remove cpudyn
Identify your cpu type by runnig the command
You can also Check the following linksCode:cat /proc/cpuinfo
AMD CPU Chart - http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/...05/page20.html
Intel CPU Chart - http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/...05/page21.html
AMD Sempron/Athlon/MP ( K7 )
Socket Types: A, Slot A
AMD Duron/Sempron/Athlon/Opteron 64 ( K8 )Code:sudo modprobe powernow-k7
Socket Types: 754, 939, 940, S1 ( 638 ), AM2 ( 940 ), F ( 1207 )
Intel Core DuoCode:sudo modprobe powernow-k8
Intel Pentium MCode:sudo modprobe speedstep-centrino
Others (Unknown)Code:sudo modprobe speedstep-centrino
I'm not entirely sure which cpus are supported using this module. If your cpu doesn't work with one of the above methods try this one.
Step 4: Scaling ModulesCode:sudo modprobe acpi-cpufreq
Step 5: Testing/ConfigurationCode:sudo modprobe cpufreq_conservative sudo modprobe cpufreq_ondemand sudo modprobe cpufreq_powersave sudo modprobe cpufreq_stats sudo modprobe cpufreq_userspace
Show Available Governors
You should see output similar toCode:cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
conservativeCode:powersave conservative ondemand performance
Description: CPU frequency is scaled based on load in incremental steps up and down.
Advanced Configuration OptionsCode:sudo -s echo conservative > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
ondemandCode:cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative
Description: CPU frequency is scaled based on load.
Advanced Configuration OptionsCode:sudo -s echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
performanceCode:cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand
Description: CPU only runs at max frequency regardless of load.
Configuration Dir: N/A
powersaveCode:sudo -s echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Description: CPU only runs at min frequency regardless of load.
Configuration Dir: N/A
Step 6: Load Modules at BootCode:sudo -s echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Add the following lines to the end of /etc/modules
Step 7: Configure Modules at BootCode:cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_stats cpufreq_userspace [Module from Step 3]
This step needs to be done in order for the modules to retain your settings.
Make sure you have sysfsutils installed
Then add the following lines to /etc/sysfs.confCode:sudo apt-get install sysfsutils
Where ondemand can be changed to another governor type (i.e. conservative, powersave, etc.). You can also add other configuration options that are specific to the governor selected.Code:devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor=ondemand

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The dollar gave up gains in late afternoon trading Thursday, through stayed at a new high against the Japanese yen, as Washington leaders' latest comments plans to avert the fiscal cliff kept traders on their toes.

The dollar index DXY, -0.92%, which tracks the U.S. unit against a basket of six major currencies, spent most of the U.S. session higher and lately traded at 79.622 from 79.609 in late North American trading on Wednesday.
The euro EURUSD, +0.8614% turned back up to $1.3242, compared with $1.3224 late Wednesday.
The dollar gained earlier in the session as comments from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid lowered hopes that a deal can be struck to blunt the effects of the U.S. going over the so-called fiscal cliff, pushing the S&P 500 Index SPX, -2.59% down more than 1% intraday. Read: Obama returns to Washington as cliff approaches.
Late in the session, stocks recovered following reports that House Republican House Republican leaders have told their members they plan to reconvene the House on Sunday. The S&P 500 Index ended down just 0.1%. See: U.S. stocks drop as budget talks stall.
The dollar tends to move in the opposite direction as U.S. stocks, as traders see more need for the former as a safe haven when equities fall.
"The probability of a deal before the end of the year remains slim, said Eric Viloria, senior currency strategy at Forex.com.
Earlier, a report showed consumer confidence is being weighed down by worries about the fiscal cliff — billions in automatic spending cuts and tax increases. Read: Fiscal-cliff concerns sink consumer expectations.
Japanese yen
Against Japan's currency, the dollar USDJPY, +0.01% rose to 86.06 yen from ¥85.63 in the prior session. It hasn't closed above ¥86 since August 2010, according to FactSet.
The greenback has benefited from movement by Japan's leaders to loosen monetary policy even further in the hopes of sparking economic growth in the long-struggling country, where deflation is a bigger risk than inflation.Read: Dollar climbs vs. yen Wednesday after Bank of Japan minutes.
Sworn in this week, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has already made comments on setting an inflation target of 2%, maintaining a dollar-yen level in an ¥85-to-¥90 range and appointing a Bank of Japan governor whose views were aligned to those of Abe's newly elected government. Read: Japan stocks hit post-earthquake high.
Analysts also noted comments made by John Taylor, founder and chairman of currency hedge fund FX Concepts, that further depreciation of the yen versus the dollar is one of the surest bets going into the new year, according to Bloomberg News.
"I, like everyone else, am queasy at the notion that selling the yen is a 'sure thing,'" said Kit Juckes, currency strategist at Societe Generale. "But if everyone is simply going to take Mr. Abe at his word, then we can go a lot further before this move is done."
Also boosting the dollar, U.S. Treasury yields edged higher, which makes the greenback and U.S.-denominated assets more attractive to Japanese investors — one of the largest holders of U.S. bonds. See more: Treasurys gain as Reid doubts cliff can be averted.
Among other major currencies Thursday, the British pound GBPUSD, +0.2531% turned down to $1.6112 versus $1.6135 a day earlier, while the Australian dollar AUDUSD, -0.0148% edged up 0.1% to $1.0379.
