text: Getting to the Heart of a Healthful Diet: Fats by Michael Jubinville, MPHEn Español (Spanish Version)Related Media: Managing High Cholesterol: Cooking Healthy Meals Fat gets a bad rap, mostly for its association with weight gain and heart disease. However, fats are an important part of a balanced diet. Our bodies need fat for warmth, protection, and to carry out vital functions. The fats we eat effect the amount and type of cholesterol in our blood. There are 3 major types of cholesterol in the body, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides. High levels of LDLs (known as bad cholesterol) and triglycerides are a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), which leads to heart attack or stroke. However, high levels of HDLs (known as good cholesterol) reduce the risk of CAD. The trick is to know which fats are good and which are bad and create a balanced diet with this knowledge. Dietary choices can be confusing but some simple fat facts below may help.The Bad You probably have heard about saturated and trans fats. These fats do more harm than good. They raise you bad cholesterol levels and lower your good cholesterol. Limit these fats as much as possible.Saturated fats are associated with animal products, such as red meat, poultry with skin, lard, cream, butter, and whole-fat dairy. It can also be found in in bakery items and fried foods. Fortunately, you can control the amount of saturated fat in your diet without having to completely give up these foods. Look for low fat version of meat and dairy and limit your portion sizes of foods with saturated fats.Most trans fats are additives, that are generally considered the worse type of fat. You can find them in deep fried foods, and bakery items like cookies and donuts. On food labels, trans fats may appear as partially hydrogenated oils. Again, these treats do not have to be completely eliminated, however, look for options that are made with healthier fats. For example, many restaurants have chosen to eliminate or reduce trans fats in their foods. Again, limit your portion sizes. This will allow you to eat your favorite foods without the negative consequences.That's the bad news, now on to the good.The GoodGood fats help lower the bad (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides, while boosting the good (HDL) cholesterol. They should be the preferred choice in your diet. These fats are mostly plant-based and can be found on food labels as monounsaturateded fats or polyunsaturated fats. Monosaturated fats give you energy and help keep your body warm. This type of fat can be found in foods like vegetable oils, avocados, peanut butter, nuts, and seeds. In addition to their fat benefits, monounsaturated fats also contain vitamin E and antioxidants. Polyunsaturated fats may also contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These are heart healthy fatty acids which your body cannot produce on its own. This type of fat can be found in soybean, corn, or safflower oils. It can also be found in dark meat fish, like salmon, or trout. But before you eat too much of a good thing, remember that fats are very high in calories. A little bit goes a long way. In general, calories from all fats should no more than 30% of your total calories. Now you know what is good for you. The next step is to learn to make those changes to your menu.The Scoop on SpreadsSo, which is better? Butter, margarine, or something else? When looking for a spread, keep in mind some differences when you read the label:Compare trans fat content. Try to find spreads with no trans fats.Look for the daily value for saturated fat and choose the lowest amount.Try alternative spreads made with:Soybean oilCanola oilOlive oilIf you find labels that are alike, eat what you think tastes best, but be aware of the fat content. You may find a healthier choice that tastes better than butter if you try different items.How to Make the ChangeMaking the change is not as difficult as you may think. Many food companies have made changes to their product to offer healthier fat choices. The first thing is to learn to read nutrition information on food labels. Try practicing at home before you go to the store. Look at what you already have in your kitchen. Next, you will want to replace as many saturated fats with unsaturated fats as possible. Remember, fats eaten in moderation are a part of a healthy diet, so do not be afraid to add the right ingredients to your menu. Here are some dietary recommendations:Use more fat-free or low-fat dairy like milk, cheese, yogurt, or cream.Look for lean cuts of red meat.Substitute meals of red meat with fish.Replace solid fats in recipes with oil when possible.Try to enhance a meal with a handful nuts, beans, legumes, or seeds when you can.Try using walnuts or sunflower seeds as a snack substitute.Eat food with natural oils, like olives, nuts, avocados, or fish.RESOURCES:American Heart Associationhttp://www.heart.orgInternational Food Information Councilhttp://ific.orgCANADIAN RESOURCES:Dietitians of Canadahttp://www.dietitians.caHeart and Stroke Foundation of Canadahttp://www.heartandstroke.comReferences Booker CS, Mann JI: Trans fatty acids and cardiovascular health: translation of the evidence base.

Faculty Spotlight: Jim Agee
Jim Agee, professor emeritus with the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences, could tell quite a few stories from his time in the field with students and other faculty—and, as it happens, they have a couple of him, too.
Professor Steve West, who co-taught wildlife field techniques with Agee for several years, recalls an overnight trip to Babcock Bench, overlooking the Columbia River. After a day of setting traps for small mammals and some vegetation work, Agee retired early to his tent. West and several students headed out on a night drive to spy reptiles and amphibians that had come out to soak up the last heat from the road. They came across a dead two-foot rattlesnake that had been run over yet looked very alive. A couple students brought the snake back to camp and coiled it right outside Agee's tent. The next morning when he poked his head out, Agee was not impressed. "He was really teed off, but it was hilarious," says West. "We got him for at least 10 seconds."
"What clued me in on the snake was that it was coiled up backwards," says Agee, "but I still had to think about it—and on a full bladder!"
When he wasn't rubbing surprise from his eyes, Agee spent three distinguished decades as a scientist with the National Park Service and a professor with the University of Washington. "Most people would call me a fire ecologist," says Agee, and his career spanned a great many more fields along the way.
Agee, who lives with his wife in Woodinville, Wash., grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. He attended the University of California, Berkeley, which was close enough for him to bus home on the weekends. "I was thinking about going to Humboldt State, but my mom said if I got into UC Berkeley, I was going. So that's where I went, and it was a good choice."
It was certainly a fateful choice in terms of his career direction. "I took a course called 'Range Management,'" says Agee, "and the guy teaching it was one of the pioneers in fire ecology, Harold Biswell."
Biswell was one of the first scientists to talk about fires as a normal, even healthy part of forest ecosystems and management. Agee liked the idea and was hooked. He went on to earn a degree in forest management and then stayed on at Berkeley to study with Biswell for a Master's in Range Management.
At the time, forest fires made for a controversial subject. Biswell had long studied the use of controlled burns to manage grasslands, which was a widely accepted practice. Yet when he turned his theory on forests, Biswell drew fierce professional criticism, says Agee, as he butted against a powerful assumption that forests and fire were simply not compatible. People tried to get him fired. Even the dean warned him to cool it with his forest fire talk.
Despite the pressure and attacks, Biswell continued to advocate for the use of fire in dry forests, and in the end his views became accepted by the majority. By the time Agee earned his Ph.D. from Berkeley in 1973—as Biswell's last graduate student, in fact—fire had finally become an accepted tool of forest management, for the most part. "Fire is still not used at the scale it should be or historically was," says Agee, "but Biswell was one of the pioneers to get people thinking differently about it. And by the time I got a Ph.D., he was kind of a hero."
After he graduated from Berkeley, Agee taught one quarter of a fire management course and then left to work for the National Park Service (NPS) in San Francisco. Agee stayed there for five years until he got a call about a park service job in Seattle with what was then known as the Cooperative Park Studies Unit. The program allowed the NPS to station scientists at universities and have access to labs and—especially important at the time—computers and other technology. In return, you would act like a regular faculty member and teach, advise students, go on field trips, and generally participate in the academic world of the school.
For Agee, that meant placement in 1978 at the University of Washington, where he worked his way up the professor ladder for the next decade. He felt a great spirit of collaboration, and he says his colleagues greatly helped advance his career as a scientist. Yet since he was still an NPS employee, he wasn't eligible for tenure. So when the opportunity came, Agee officially transferred over to the university and became chair of the forest resources management division, which eventually morphed into ecosystem science and conservation.
In 1993, he stepped down as chair to become a "regular old professor" again. That was also the year he published Fire Ecology: Pacific Northwest Forests. Agee considers the book one of his proudest academic achievements, and the text remains popular in the field today.
In the classroom, Agee taught a wide range of courses, including fire management, forest protection, some silviculture, forest ecology and wildlife field techniques. One of his favorites, naturally, was a course in fire ecology. "We'd go over to eastern Washington and look at areas that had burned with prescribed fires or wildfires, and compare the two, and look at the response of animals and plants," he says. "We'd involve field managers over there, and it was a great introduction to what the students were learning in the classroom."
Among his preferred test grounds was nearby Fort Lewis. It used to be an artillery range, and the fort wanted to make sure their prairie land wasn't going to catch fire from ordnance going off—so Agee would head over with a troop of students. "We'd go down and help them ignite prescribed fires, and then watch it burn and see what would happen to the various plants. It was a nice laboratory for us, and only about an hour away from campus."
Agee says field trips were a part of almost every class, and he spent some 20 to 30 days a year in the field. "We had a lot of fun doing those things," he says.
Yet after 30 years of teaching undergraduates and graduates—and organizing countless field excursions—Agee decided to retire in 2007. Though he's not hauling students across the state anymore, he's far from idle. He's taken on several research projects and keeps plenty busy as editor of the journal Fire Ecology. "The time I spend on for the journal is just perfect," he says. "Fills my time and keeps me active."
It also spares him from waking up next to rattlesnakes, which has to be quite a relief.

THURSDAY, Nov. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Specific DNA variations explain more than 10 percent of the inherited genetic risk for developing heart disease, a new study suggests.
Latest Heart News
Researchers discovered 20 previously unidentified genetic variations in more than 63,000 people with coronary artery disease, which causes more deaths worldwide than any other disease.
These variations were uncommon in a control group of more than 130,000 people without heart disease.
The newly identified mutations bring to 47 the total number of genetic variations that have so far been linked to an increased risk for developing heart disease, according to study co-leader Panos Deloukas, head of the Genetics of Complex Traits in Humans research group at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, in Cambridge, England.
One previous study estimated that 30 percent to 60 percent of heart disease cases might be attributable to genetic risk factors. This new study increases the number of genes likely involved in coronary artery disease.
The study was to be presented Thursday at the American Society of Human Genetics annual meeting in San Francisco.
"We no longer assume that coronary heart disease is triggered by just a handful of genes, each with a strong effect on a person's risk for the disease," Deloukas said in a society news release. "Our research supports the current assumption that heart disease risk is determined by a large group of genes, each with a modest effect on risk."
Deloukas said pinpointing the genetic variations involved in coronary artery disease may lead to improved treatments, and noted that many of the newly identified variations are in genes involved in the body's metabolism of fats as well as in inflammation.
The findings highlight the roles of high cholesterol levels and inflammation in coronary artery disease, Deloukas said.
Research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Re-Nigging All The Way To The White House
Doesn't renege—the root word they altered—mean not to go back on a commitment? Wouldn't that then suggest to American voters to re-elect President Obama—instead of removing him?
[Speaking Truth To Power]
Over the weekend, a racist bumper sticker attacking President Obama, "Don't Re-Nig in 2012," went viral after surfacing on the Internet.
And as we move closer to November, the question is: will racial animus play a primary role in this year's Presidential Election? The racist bumper sticker included, in small print a campaign caption "Stop repeat offenders. Don't reelect Obama." The sticker seems to have originated from a website—which has now been shut down—called Stumpy's Stickers.
The site displayed several other similar stickers including: (1) a picture of an ape which reads "Obama 2012"; (2) a picture of a Black man with a missing tooth which says Don't Renig in 2012; ( 3) an illustration of five Ku Klux Klan members reading "The Original Boys In The Hood"; and, (4) and one featuring a Confederate flag with the message "If this flag has offended you, then it made my day."
Last Friday, ABC News reported the Stumpy's site had been closed. Ironically, another website has also been making a killing hawking similar versions of the racist campaign sticker. The website Stickatude.com is selling a comparable campaign sticker, for $3.00, which reads: "2012 Don't Re-Nig!" Stickatude is run by Georgia businesswoman Paula Smith—who, apparently, doesn't think there's anything wrong with her stickers.
"According to the dictionary [N-word] does not mean Black," Smith said. "It means a low down, lazy, sorry, low down person. That's what the N word means." Smith claims the N-word isn't racist but says she doesn't use it because "I have kids here around me that are Black kids. I call them my own kids. I've helped Black families…to guide them in the right direction."
Smith maintained she isn't a racist, although she admits wanting President Obama removed from the White House. Moreover, she added "And besides Obama is not even Black. He's got a mixture of race. It's his choice of what his nationality is."
To call Mrs. Smith an ignoramus is much too kind. Her patronizing comments, about how she's "helped Black families," are the sort of benevolent racist comments currently in vogue in conservative circles. How can she have the audacity to tell us she helps "Black families," while peddling a sticker that uses a variation of the word nigger? But I guess she's just relaying the idea that President Obama is a "lazy low down person." Perhaps, she is that dumb to the historical use of the word nigger as a racist characterization of Blacks as "lazy" people.
Ironically, these obtuse bigots don't seem to realize their phrasing on this sticker is idiotically incoherent. Doesn't renege—the root word they altered—mean not to go back on a commitment? Wouldn't that then suggest to American voters to re-elect President Obama—instead of removing him?
The truth is this bigoted campaign sticker is just the latest racist rant against President Obama. We've seen these cartoons before. President Obama has been depicted, among other things, as a Black man raping Lady Liberty; as a gold-chain wearing pimp and as a monkey or chimpanzee—which is a historically familiar racist illustration of African-Americans.
As we approach November's elections we will surely seem more of them. Currently, the Republican presidential pretenders have been bloviating incessantly that this election will be a referendum on the economy. That is, largely, a lie.
It's certainly true given the economic woes that many voters will be evaluating fiscal indicators as they contemplate the November vote. However, for scores of others—especially the bigots who make-up a substantial portion of the Republican base—this election will be about one thing and one thing only: voting their racism. For these people, the U.S. Presidency must be ethnically cleansed of the Negro usurper currently occupying the White House.
Some people will say this charge is unfair. They'll argue they're against the president's policies, not his pigmentation. And they'll erect excuses like the supposed need to enact "small government" initiatives—while screaming for the repeal of "Obamacare"—and much pontificating will be made about the need to curb "out-of-control government spending."
All of this is a bunch of bull. Take the furor over the healthcare plan for instance. Republicans—including front-running phony Mr. Mitt Romney—have been telling us the plan will bankrupt America. If this plan is so bad why did then Governor Romney enact a similar plan in Massachusetts in 2006?
Moreover, why did the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing conservative think tank, endorse Romney's healthcare plan? Is it because they helped to craft the bill's components? The truth is this is all about politics—and Republicans don't seem to mind if racism is fermented in the process. By the way, isn't the naming of the healthcare bill as "Obamacare" a subliminal form of racism?
Another red-herring argument Republicans bring up is the need to rein in spending. The hypocrisy of these folks is bewildering. For the last couple years, Republicans have been debating about the need to curb spending and reduce deficits. Aren't these the same people who signed on to promote two costly, unnecessary wars, while giving tax-breaks to the wealthy? And now they lecture us about fiscal responsibility?
Worse of all, if they're telling us there's no money to pay teachers and firefighters—or to properly fund social welfare programs—why are they irresponsibly saber-rattling to precipitate another war against Iran? Do they think we're so dumb we don't realize that it's, largely, Republican policies—tax-breaks for the rich, discredited trickle-down economics and expensive wars—which created this financial crisis?
Unfortunately, there're legions of white Americans who're incapable of rational thought. Ignorance, fear and racism are all they know. The backwardness of these people can be heard when they talk about "taking the country back." Is it the he Jim Crow Era they want to take us back to?
Make no mistake about it, dirty tricks and racism will be used in an attempt to defeat President Obama—and the multicultural demographic shift his presidency represents. Will a repeat of the 2000 Presidential Elections occur—when the Black Floridian vote was stolen? We can make sure that doesn't happen by becoming involved now and fighting all of the voter suppression "laws" that are currently being enacted by Republicans.
"Speaking Truth To Empower."

HOUSTON - New research suggests teens with smartphones are more likely to be involved in risky sexually behavior, which includes meeting up with people they meet online using their phones.
According to researchers with the University of Southern California, not only are a third of teens using smartphones, but they're one and a half times more likely than non-smartphone users to be sexually active.
The study surveyed about 1,800 kids ages 12 to 18 in the Los Angeles Public School District.
Many of them are from middle and low income homes.
They found 47 percent of the smartphone users said they were sexually active compared to 35 percent who don't own smartphones.
Seventeen percent of smartphone users admitted to having sex with someone they met online compared to 14 percent of kids without.
Researchers said the results should be a wake-up call for parents.
Amy Birchill Lavergne, executive director of the Nick Finnegan Counseling Center told Local 2, "If you're going to give them this piece of equipment, you should start out by saying, 'Here are the rules for it. Here's how I want you to behave with it.' But, also educating them about the real dangers."
She said she also believes the study is not so much cause and effect, but rather shows that smartphones give teens unprecedented access.
She added, "I think that people should absolutely use parental controls to the extent that they can technologically because kids still need those external inhibitors. They don't have enough of the internal, so they need parents to put controls on them at appropriate levels and release those controls as they demonstrate maturity."
Birchill Lavergne also advises parents to be aware of the signs their child may be engaging in inappropriate behavior.
She explained, "If they are more withdrawn than they were before or if they're more outgoing in a way that seems dangerous or risky to you. I think if teenagers are doing badly in school where before they had a good record. Just those big marked changes that show there's something going on."
The study also found homosexual teens were five times more likely than their heterosexual peers to seek sex partners online.
Many of the teens in the study report engaging in unprotected sex.
The study findings are being presented at the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association.

10 Things We Learned During New York Fashion Week
As New York City marked the beginning of the global myriad of Ready-To-Wear collections for Spring/Summer 2014, there were a few points that became poignant from the jump: Justin Bieber is trying to salvage his almost-tarnished image by popping up on the front row, the Jonas Brothers are desperate to stay relevant, and Kanye West is, well, Kanye West.
But once you got past the circus that NYFW is known to be, there was an endless portfolio of designers who showcased some of the most beautiful and well-made pieces of the season. This is an exciting time for American fashion as it's going through a renaissance.
Music and art are merging into the fashion landscape, streetwear is now high-end, rappers are being embraced by Vogue-worthy cloth-cutters and Anna Wintour, as Hood by Air's Shayne Oliver has learned, still has the power to thrust a burgeoning designer's career in a stratospheric direction. Here, we zoom-in on 10 things we learned during New York Fashion Week. —Safra Ducreay

Anything other than victory over Austria at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna on Tuesday night will effectively end Ireland's hopes of rescuing a Group C campaign which was dealt a major blow by Sweden's 2-1 victory in Dublin on Friday.
That reverse piled the pressure on manager Giovanni Trapattoni amid speculation that he could be relieved of his duties within weeks once the final die is cast.
But asked if the players needed to show their support for the 74-year-old by producing a rousing display, Keane said: "It's for everybody, it's for us as a country to be proud to wear that green jersey.
"Whether that's doing it for the manager or doing it for the country or doing it for yourselves, it doesn't really matter.
"As long as we are all pulling in the same direction, as long as we are going to go out on to that field and give 110 per cent - you always do that for the manager and you always do it for the players around you.
"We are all in this together. We started together, so we will certainly finish together.
"Everyone is behind everybody, and hopefully tomorrow we can show that by giving 110 per cent on the field."
Trapattoni has insisted the debate over his future has not proved a distraction in the run-up to a key encounter, and Keane is equally adamant that the players cannot allow it to affect them either.
He said: "Whatever happens beyond these few games, that's out of our hands and the players' hands.
"As professionals, we have to stand up and be professional in the job that we do, and make sure we give as much as we can to that green jersey and the people back home who are watching us.
"All you can do in life is try your best and do everything you can possible to try to make people happy and do your best for the team, and if that's not good enough, then that's something that other people are going to have to look at."
Ireland's home form has been a particular concern during the current campaign - only the Faroe Islands to date have lost at the Aviva Stadium, with the Republic collecting just a single point from the visits of Germany, Austria and Sweden to Dublin.
However, their results on the road remain hugely impressive - they are yet to lose a qualifier on foreign soil under Trapattoni - and an extension of that record could hardly come at a better time as they look for a response.
Keane said: "I would be disappointed if there wasn't a good response. I think because of the importance of the game - at the end of day, if we don't get anything out of this game, we can forget about it.
"If that doesn't give you that extra bite in your belly, there's certainly a problem."

Why are constraint applied in Database? Will it not be more flexible to be in code?
I'm reading a beginners book on implementing databases, so this is a beginner's question!
Let's say I design a database model, which has this entity model:
Person, Has subtypes: Employee, Student
Student's subtypes: Graduate, Undergraduate
Employee's subtypes: Teacher, Administrator
A registered person on system can be only a Student or Employee; Person entity requires uniqueness of social number (which every person has only one of, of course).
If one day the college decides that teachers (an Employee subtype) can also be Student, taking courses in their free time (
it's very improbable but I can't think of anything else right now. It is possible!), it's much harder to change database design which could have thousands of entries, rather than just changing the logic in code that didn't allow a person be registered both as a student and an employee.
Why do we care about business rules in database design rather than in code?

Beet-Cured Fluke with Pickled Shallot and Herbs
From Chef Quinn Hatfield of Hatfield's
Serves 6
1 2-pound fluke, filleted and skinned
1 cup kosher salt
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup grated raw beet
2 large shallot, sliced into 1/8-inch rings
1 cup water
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup lowfat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped chive
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped chervil
1 lemon, zested
Mixed herbs, such as: baby arugula, Italian parsley, chervil, chive tips, tarragon, Thai basil, opal basil, mache, upland cress
For the Fluke
1. Mix the salt, sugar, and grated beet in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
2. You should have 4 separate fillets from the fluke. Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap, about 3 feet long, on a clean work surface, and form a rectangle of the beet mix in the center, roughly the same size as a fluke fillet.
3. Place the fillet on the beet mix and cover with more beet mix, being sure to leave enough for the other fillets.
4. Roll the plastic around the fish to form a tightly wrapped log with the fish evenly coated by the beet mix.
5. Tie the ends and wrap with more plastic if needed to prevent leakage. Repeat with the other fillets. Place the rolled logs on a sheet tray and put another sheet tray on top. Put weight (about 5 pounds) on top of tray so that the fish is being pressed. Place the trays in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
6. Remove and unwrap the fillets and rinse under cold water. Pat dry. The fillets can hold for up to 24 hours.
7. When ready to serve, slice the fluke with a very sharp knife about 1/4 inch thick on a slight bias. The cure should leave a nice magenta ring but the center should still be white
For the Yogurt
Mix the yogurt, chopped herbs, lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl and reserve.
For the Shallots
Put the water, vinegar, and sugar in a small saucepot. Bring to a boil and add the shallot rings. Allow the pot to return to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Pour the contents into a nonreactive container and allow to cool to room temperature, or refrigerate if not using immediately.
Assembling the Dish
Place the picked herbs in a small bowl and gently dress with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Put the sliced fluke in a separate bowl and toss with a little olive oil to coat. On 6 serving plates, spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the herbed yogurt in an oval shape. Arrange the fluke slices on the yogurt, gently folding them to give a little height. Drape a few shallot rings over the fluke and top with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the dressed herb salad. Serve immediately.

Kansas.com is the Web site of The Wichita Eagle, the largest newspaper in Kansas, serving Wichita, the largest city in Kansas, and the surrounding area.
The predecessor of Kansas.com, WichitaOnline, was launched on Nov. 18, 1996, carrying a selection of news from The Wichita Eagle. In November 1999, Kansas.com was launched as a regional information portal, running parallel to WichitaOnline, which continued to serve up news from The Eagle. Over time, the two sites converged until WichitaOnline was quietly retired in favor of Kansas.com.
Today, Kansas.com reaches, on average, more than 1.1 million unique visitors who view more than 10.7 million pages on the site each month. That makes it the leading local information Web site in Kansas, and the preferred medium for businesses trying to reach local consumers online. Combined, The Wichita Eagle and Kansas.com reach eight out of 10 Wichita-area adults every week.
The Wichita Eagle is owned by McClatchy, one of the nation's leading media companies, headquartered in Sacramento, California.

Gerak Lawan: Stop attempting to revive WTO because Doha is not solution!
Monday (8/6). Gerak Lawan (Indonesian Peoples' Movement against Neocolonialism-imperialism) organise an action in front of Ministry of Commerce, Jakarta, Indonesia. The action aims to protest the 33rd Cairns Group Ministerial Meeting, motored by the Government of Indonesia, on June 7-9, 2009 in Bali. Most of the people who come for the action are peasants, and they say that the meeting will be a desperate attempt to keep the near-dead WTO alive. Should the attempt is a success, liberalisation will be riding on a highway—particularly in the food and agriculture sector.
In the other hand, what lies beneath the meeting is believed to be a neoliberal agenda. As people know, neoliberal agenda, represents in liberalisation, speculation, deregulation, and privatisation, is the cause of the current crises. In the same time, the WTO said that liberalisation is the key to solve the current crises. Moreover, what countries now are trying to in terms of protection would be disaster for global economy. Meanwhile in the real world, this statement from the WTO (and its neoliberal supporters) sure is not even close with the daily facts.
"This meeting will only push for the U.S agenda to revive Doha. We saw it on the message written by the Ministry of Commerce," said Henry Saragih, Chairman of the Peasants Union of Indonesia (SPI). Hopes are high for the U.S to continue talks over the dying WTO. "Our government should be more careful in this objective, not to support the neoliberal agenda by the U.S," he added later. Henry said that the U.S is among the biggest countries who heavily subsidise Transnational Corporations (TNCs) in food and agriculture. "At least US$ 58 billion are paid to those TNCs to keep dumping cheap food and agriculture products to our market," he said.
The action demands that the Government of Indonesia cannot follow this neoliberalism path anymore, and must kick the WTO out of food and agriculture. "Food and agriculture are not commodity, and not for sale," chant the people in the action. "People all across the world should see the real bottom-up alternatives from the people, and not only the top-down liberalisation agenda promoted by the WTO," people said further.
Lastly, there is also a warning for the 'war against protectionism' issue which also will be discussed in the Bali meeting. "The discussion in the meeting would not be substantial, as it would in the WTO system as well," as the statement from Gerak Lawan said. According to food sovereignty concept, subsidy or protection per se are not the enemy. Their merit depends on how much the subsidy or protection cost, who gets them, and what they pay for. So subsidy and protection paid only to a large TNCs leading to dumping and the destruction of rural livelihoods are bad. But subsidy and protection paid to peasants to keep them on the land and support vibrant rural economies, assist with soil conservation, support the sustainable agriculture practices, and direct marketing to local consumers, are good.
Gerak Lawan is an Indonesian coalition aiming to struggle current neocolonialism-imperialism practices in Indonesia. Among the members are Indonesian Peasants Union (SPI), Indonesian Workers Union (SBI), Anti-Debt Coalition (KAU), Indonesian Human Rights Committee for Social Justice (IHCS), Laksi 31 Student Action Committee (KAM LAKSI 31), Circle for Indonesian Democracy (LS-ADI), and Street Children Solidarity for Democracy (SALUD). ****

So, today David came by the house to pick up his Thrive order, later in the day he texted me and said "WHY DO YOU LOOK DIFFERENT?' of course, to me I look the same, but he explained I just look better, happier, bouncier and that I appear to be thinning up and looking more tone! The scales have not said much good news for me, but they never do when I start working out, so I checked out my measurements and he was right, I've lost s Inches! and it's awesome that there Is an obvious change In my physical and emotional appearance from someone who has seen how yucky I have felt the last couple of years, and only having seen me about two weeks ago before Thrive, to, today being a totally different person.
Imagine 8 weeks from now... What could your results be? How good could you feel? It all starts with THRIVE!

The Institute of Local Government Studies (INLOGOV) is the leading UK centre for the study of local public service management, policy and governance. With over 40 years of experience working within local government and the public sector, the Institute of Local Government Studies creates the latest thinking for public servants.
Our staff come from various disciplinary backgrounds and are dedicated to increasing the democratic governance of local communities, working with politicians, managers, communities and partner organisations to enhance practice through academic insight.
We are engaged in policy and management research, continuing professional and management development and consultancy work for central government and other national and local agencies. Our contribution to post experience education is particularly significant.
We draw great strength from our close links with the world of practice in local government, the voluntary sector and other public service agencies, for example those of criminal justice.
Our recent research work includes: the publication of Strong and Prosperous Communities: A Contribution to the Debate, written as a contribution both to the Local Government White Paper and Bill proposals and also to the longer-term debate about the future of local government; working with local strategic partnerships; studies of the impact of new political management structures in local government; an evaluation of local government procurement; leadership in local government and research on the experiences of 'failing' local authorities.
The department is a major centre for research and for postgraduate degrees, offering a range of postgraduate degrees, at Masters, diploma and certificate levels. As well as a range of taught degrees, we also offer study opportunities for research degrees.
We offer two types of research degree: the MPhil (two years full-time or four years part-time) and PhD degrees (three years full-time or six years part-time). Both degrees are awarded on the basis of a submitted thesis, although modules in research methods and in relevant policy subjects are also normally taken during the period of registration. We welcome applications for part-time study as well as full-time.
Our applied research activity feeds directly into our programmes, so our participants are among the first to hear the latest research findings and to reflect on how new thinking might impact on future policy and practice.
As well as access to the University's main library and the increasingly large variety of learning materials and library research services (e.g. e-journals) via the internet. The Programme Handbook, issued at the outset, provides details and advice on the Programme, and copies of learning materials and presentations are provided in a handbook for each module.

Table of Contents
with amd(8)
A bridge can be used to combine different physical networks into one logical network, i.e. connect them at layer 2 of the ISO-OSI model, not at layer 3, which is what a router would do. The NetBSD "bridge" driver provides bridge functionality on NetBSD systems.
In this example two physical networks are going to be combined in one logical network, 192.168.1.0, using a NetBSD bridge. The NetBSD machine which is going to act as bridge has two interfaces, ne0 and ne1, which are each connected to one physical network.
The first step is to make sure support for the "bridge" is compiled in the running kernel. Support is included in the GENERIC kernel.
When the system is ready the bridge can be created, this can be done using the brconfig(8) command. First of a bridge interface has to be created. With the following ifconfig command the "bridge0" interface will be created:
$ ifconfig bridge0 create
Please make sure that at this point both the ne0 and ne1 interfaces are up. The next step is to add the ne0 and ne1 interfaces to the bridge.
$ brconfig bridge0 add ne0 add ne1 up
This configuration can be automatically set up by creating
/etc/ifconfig.interface file, in
this case
with the following contents:
create !brconfig $int add ne0 add ne1 up
After setting up the bridge the bridge configuration can be displayed using the brconfig -a command. Remember that if you want to give the bridge machine an IP address you can only allocate an IP address to one of the interfaces which are part of the bridge.
Now that the network is working it is possible to share files and directories over the network using the Network File System (NFS). From the point of view of file sharing, the computer which gives access to its files and directories is called the server, and the computer using these files and directories is the client. A computer can be client and server at the same time.
A kernel must be compiled with the appropriate options for the client and the server (the options are easy to find in the kernel configuration file. See Section 23.1, "A walk through the kernel configuration" for more information on NFS related kernel options.
The server must enable the
nfs_server daemons in
rpcbind=yes mountd=yes nfs_server=yes lockd=yes statd=yes
The client must enable the
nfs_client daemons in
rpcbind=yes nfs_client=yes lockd=yes statd=yes
The server must list the exported directories in
/etc/exports and then run the command
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid
(hup mountd may work too!).
A client host can access a remote directory through NFS if:
The server host exports the directory to the client. The list of filesystems a NFS server exports can be checked with the showmount -e command, see showmount(8):
showmount -e 192.168.1.2Exports list on 192.168.1.2: /home host1 host2 host3
The client host mounts the remote directory with the command mount 192.168.1.2:/home /home
The mount command has a rich set of options for remote directories which are not very intuitive (to say the least).
The scenario described here is the following: five client machines (cli1, ..., cli5) share some directories on a server (buzz.toys.org). Some of the directories exported by the server are reserved for a specific client, the other directories are common for all client machines. All the clients boot from the server and must mount the directories.
The directories exported from the server are:
the five root directories for the five client machines. Each client has its own root directory.
Five swap directories for the five swap machines.
/usr directory; common for all client
/usr/src directory for all
client machines.
The following file systems exist on the server
/dev/ra0a on / /dev/ra0f on /usr /dev/ra1a on /usr/src /dev/ra2a on /export
Each client needs the following file systems
buzz:/export/cli?/root on / buzz:/export/common/usr on /usr buzz:/usr/src on /usr/src
The server configuration is the following:
# /etc/exports /usr/src -network 192.168.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 /export -alldirs -maproot=root -network 192.168.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
On the client machines
X/root / nfs rw
buzz:/export/common/usr /usr nfs ro,nodev,nosuid
buzz:/usr/src /usr/src nfs rw,nodev,nosuid
Each client machine has its number substituted to the
X" character in the
first line of the previous example.
The problem with NFS (and other) mounts is, that you usually
have to be root to make them, which can be rather
inconvenient for users. Using amd(8) you can set up a
certain directory (Commonly
under which one
can make any NFS-mount as a normal user, as long as the
filesystem about to be accessed is actually exported by the
NFS server.
To check if a certain server exports a filesystem, and which
ones, use the showmount-command with the
(export) switch:
showmount -e wuarchive.wustl.eduExports list on wuarchive.wustl.edu: /export/home onc.wustl.edu /export/local onc.wustl.edu /export/adm/log onc.wustl.edu /usr onc.wustl.edu / onc.wustl.edu /archive Everyone
If you then want to mount a directory to access anything
below it (for example
just change into that directory:
cd /net/wuarchive.wustl.edu/archive/systems/unix/NetBSD
The filesystem will be mounted (by amd), and you can a access any files just as if the directory was mounted by the superuser of your system.
You can set up such a
/net directory with the
following steps (including basic amd
/etc/rc.conf, set the following variable:
mkdir /amd
mkdir /net
put the following into
[ /net ] map_name = /etc/amd/net map_type = file
/usr/share/examples/amd/net as example,
put the following into
/defaults type:=host;rhost:=${key};fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/root * host==${key};type:=link;fs:=/ \ host!=${key};opts:=ro,soft,intr,nodev,nosuid,noconn
Reboot, or (re)start amd by hand:
sh /etc/rc.d/amd restart
This section will concentrate on how to get network connectivity for IPv6 and - as that is rarely available directly - talk at length about the alternatives to native IPv6 connectivity as a transitional method until native IPv6 peers are available.
Finding an ISP that offers IPv6 natively needs quite some luck. What you need next is a router that will be able to handle the traffic. To date, not all router manufacturers offer IPv6 or hardware accelerated IPv6 features, and gateway NAT boxes only rarely support IPv6 and also block IPv6 tunnels. An alternative approach involves configuring a standard PC running NetBSD to act as a router. The base NetBSD system contains a complete IPv6 routing solution, and for special routing needs software like Zebra can provide additional routing protocols. This solution is rather common for sites that want IPv6 connectivity today. The drawbacks are that you need an ISP that supports IPv6 and that you may need a dedicated uplink only for IPv6.
IPv6 to-the-door may be rare, but you can still get IPv6 connectivity by using tunnels. Instead of talking IPv6 on the wire, the IPv6 packets are encapsulated in IPv4 packets, as shown in Figure 28.1, "A frequently used method for transition is tunneling IPv6 in IPv4 packets". Using the existing IPv4 infrastructure, the encapsulated packets are sent to a IPv6-capable uplink that will then remove the encapsulation, and forward the IPv6 packets.
When using tunnels, there are two possibilities. One is to use a so-called "configured" tunnel, the other is called an "automatic" tunnel. A "configured" tunnel is one that required preparation from both ends of the tunnel, usually connected with some kind of registration to exchange setup information. An example for such a configured tunnel is the IPv6-over-IPv4 encapsulation described in [RFC1933], and that's implemented e.g. by the gif(4) device found in NetBSD.
An "automatic" tunnel consists of a public server that has some kind of IPv6 connectivity, e.g. via 6Bone. That server has made its connectivity data public, and also runs a tunneling protocol that does not require an explicit registration of the sites using it as uplink. A well-used example of such a protocol is the 6to4 mechanism described in [RFC3056], and that is implemented in the stf(4) device found in NetBSD's. Another mechanism that does not require registration of IPv6-information is the 6over4 mechanism, which implements transporting of IPv6 over a multicast-enabled IPv4 network, instead of e.g. ethernet or FDDI. 6over4 is documented in [RFC2529]. It's main drawback is that you do need existing multicast infrastructure. If you don't have that, setting it up is about as much effort as setting up a configured IPv6 tunnel directly, so it's usually not worth bothering in that case.
6to4 is an easy way to get IPv6 connectivity for hosts that only have an IPv4 uplink, especially if you have the background given in Section 22.7, "Next generation Internet protocol - IPv6". It can be used with static as well as dynamically assigned IPv4 addresses, e.g. as found in modem dialup scenarios today. When using dynamic IPv4 addresses, a change of IP addresses will be a problem for incoming traffic, i.e. you can't run persistent servers.
Example configurations given in this section is for NetBSD 1.5.2.
The 6to4 IPv6 setup on your side doesn't consist of a single IPv6 address; Instead, you get a whole /48 network! The IPv6 addresses are derived from your (single) IPv4 address. The address prefix "2002:" is reserved for 6to4 based addresses (i.e. IPv6 addresses derived from IPv4 addresses). The next 32 bits are your IPv4 address. This results in a /48 network that you can use for your very own purpose. It leaves 16 bits space for 216 IPv6 subnets, which can take up to 264 nodes each. Figure 28.2, "6to4 derives an IPv6 from an IPv4 address" illustrates the building of your IPv6 address (range) from your IPv4 address.
Thanks to the 6to4 prefix and your worldwide unique IPv4 address, this address block is unique, and it's mapped to your machine carrying the IPv4 address in question.
In contrast to the configured "IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel" setup, you do not have to register at a 6bone-gateway, which would only then forward your IPv6 traffic encapsulated in IPv4. Instead, as your IPv6 address is derived from your IPv4 address, inbound traffic can be sent through the nearest 6to4 relay router. De-encapsulation of the packet is done via a 6to4-capable network interface, which then forwards the resulting IPv6 packet according to your routing setup (in case you have more than one machine connected on your 6to4 assigned network).
To transmit IPv6 packets, the 6to4 router will encapsulate them inside IPv4 packets; a system performing these functions is called a 6to4 border router. These packets have a default route to the 6to4 relay anycast prefix. This anycast prefix will route the tunnel to a 6to4 relay router. Figure 28.3, "Request and reply can be routed via different gateways in 6to4" illustrates this.
In contrast to the "configured tunnel" setup, you usually can't setup packet filters to block 6to4-packets from unauthorized sources, as this is exactly how (and why) 6to4 works at all. As such, malicious users can send packets with invalid/hazardous IPv6 payload. If you don't already filter on your border gateways anyways, packets with the following characteristics should not be allowed as valid 6to4 packets, and some firewalling seems to be justified for them:
unspecified IPv4 source/destination address: 0.0.0.0/8
loopback address in outer (v4) source/destination: 127.0.0.0/8
IPv4 multicast in source/destination: 126.96.36.199/4
limited broadcasts: 255.0.0.0/8
subnet broadcast address as source/destination: depends on your IPv4 setup
The NetBSD stf(4) manual page documents some common configuration mistakes intercepted by default by the KAME stack as well as some further advice on filtering, but keep in mind that because of the requirement of these filters, 6to4 is not perfectly secure. Still, if forged 6to4 packets become a problem, you can use IPsec authentication to ensure the IPv6 packets are not modified.
In order to setup and configure IPv6 over 6to4, a few bits of configuration data must be known in advance. These are:
Your local IPv4 address. It can be determined using either the 'ifconfig -a' or 'netstat -i' commands on most Unix systems. If you use a NATing gateway or something, be sure to use the official, outside-visible address, not your private (10/8 or 192.168/16) one.
We will use 18.104.22.168 as the local IPv4 address in our example.
Your local IPv6 address, as derived from the IPv4 address. See Figure 28.2, "6to4 derives an IPv6 from an IPv4 address" on how to do that.
For our example, this is 2002:3ee0:3972:0001::1 (22.214.171.124 == 0x3ee03972, 0001::1 arbitrarily chosen).
The 6to4 IPv6 relay anycast address. which is 2002:c058:6301::, or the IPv6 address of a specific 6to4 relay router you want to use. The IPv6 address will do, as it also contains the IPv4 address in the usual 6to4 translation.
To process 6to4 packets, the operating system kernel needs to know about them. For that a driver has to be compiled in that knows about 6to4, and how to handle it. In NetBSD 4.0 and newer, the driver is already present in GENERIC kernel configurations, so the procedure below is usually unnecessary.
For a NetBSD kernel, put the following into your kernel config file to prepare it for using IPv6 and 6to4, e.g. on NetBSD use:
options INET6 # IPv6 pseudo-device stf # 6to4 IPv6 over IPv4 encapsulation
Note that the stf(4) device is not enabled by default on NetBSD releases older than 4.0. Rebuild your kernel, then reboot your system to use the new kernel. Please consult Chapter 31, Compiling the kernel for further information on configuring, building and installing a new kernel!
This section describes the commands to setup 6to4. In short, the steps performed here are:
Configure interface
Set default route
Setup Router Advertisement, if wanted
The first step in setting up 6to4 is creating the 6to4 interface and assigning an IPv6 address to it. This is achieved with the ifconfig(8) command. Assuming the example configuration above, the commands for NetBSD are:
ifconfig stf0 create
ifconfig stf0 inet6 2002:3ee0:3972:1::1 prefixlen 16 alias
After configuring the 6to4 device with these commands, routing needs to be setup, to forward all tunneled IPv6 traffic to the 6to4 relay router. The best way to do this is by setting a default route, the command to do so is, for NetBSD:
route add -inet6 default 2002:c058:6301::
Note that NetBSD's stf(4) device determines the IPv4 address of the 6to4 uplink from the routing table. Using this feature, it is easy to setup your own 6to4 (uplink) gateway if you have an IPv6 uplink, e.g. via 6Bone.
After these commands, you are connected to the IPv6-enabled world - Congratulations! Assuming name resolution is still done via IPv4, you can now ping an IPv6-site like www.kame.net or www6.NetBSD.org:
/sbin/ping6 www.kame.net
As a final step in setting up IPv6 via 6to4, you will want to setup Router Advertisement if you have several hosts on your network. While it is possible to setup 6to4 on each node, doing so will result in very expensive routing from one node to the other - packets will be sent to the remote 6to4 gateway, which will then route the packets back to the neighbor node. Instead, setting up 6to4 on one machine and talking native IPv6 on-wire is the preferred method of handling things.
The first step to do so is to assign an IPv6-address to your ethernet. In the following example we will assume subnet "2" of the IPv6-net is used for the local ethernet and the MAC address of the ethernet interface is 12:34:56:78:9a:bc, i.e. your local gateway's ethernet interface's IP address will be 2002:3ee0:3972:2:1234:56ff:fe78:9abc. Assign this address to your ethernet interface, e.g.
ifconfig ne0 inet6 alias 2002:3ee0:3972:2:1234:56ff:fe78:9abc
Here, "ne0" is an example for your ethernet card interface. This will most likely be different for your setup, depending on what kind of card is used.
Next thing that needs to be ensured for setting up the
router is that it will actually forward packets from the
local 6to4 device to the ethernet device and back. To enable
IPv6 packet forwarding, set "ip6mode=router" in NetBSD's
/etc/rc.conf, which will result in the
"net.inet6.ip6.forwarding" sysctl being set to "1":
sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1
To setup router advertisement on BSD, the file
/etc/rtadvd.conf needs to be checked. It allows
configuration of many things, but usually the default config
of not containing any data is ok. With that default, IPv6
addresses found on all of the router's network interfaces
will be advertised.
After checking the router advertisement configuration is correct and IPv6 forwarding is turned on, the daemon handling it can be started. Under NetBSD, it is called 'rtadvd'. Start it up either manually (for testing it the first time) or via the system's startup scripts, and see all your local nodes automagically configure the advertised subnet address in addition to their already-existing link local address.
So far, we have described how 6to4 works and how to set it up manually. For an automated way to make everything happen e.g. when going online, the 'hf6to4' package is convenient. It will determine your IPv6 address from the IPv4 address you got assigned by your provider, then set things up that you are connected.
Steps to setup the pkgsrc/net/hf6to4 package are:
Install the package either by compiling it from pkgsrc, or by pkg_add'ing the 6to4-1.2 package.
cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/hf6to4
make install
Make sure you have the stf(4) pseudo-device in your kernel, see above.
Configure the 'hf6to4' package. First, copy
/usr/pkg/share/examples/hf6to4/hf6to4.conf to
/usr/pkg/etc/hf6to4.conf, then adjust
the variables. Note that the file is in /bin/sh syntax.
cd /usr/pkg/etc
cp ../share/examples/hf6to4/hf6to4.conf hf6to4.conf
vi hf6to4.conf
Please see the hf6to4(8) manpage for an explanation of all
the variables you can set in
hf6to4.conf. If you have dialup IP
via PPP, and don't want to run Router Advertizing for
other IPv6 machines on your home or office network, you
don't need to configure anything. If you want to setup
Router Advertising, you need to set the
in_if to the internal (ethernet)
interface, e.g.
$in_if="rtk0"; # Inside (ethernet) interface
Now dial up, then start the 6to4 command manually:
/usr/pkg/sbin/hf6to4 start
After that, you should be connected, use ping6(8): to see if everything works:

the command each time
you go online:
logger -p user.info -t ip-up Configuring 6to4 IPv6 /usr/pkg/sbin/hf6to4 stop /usr/pkg/sbin/hf6to4 start
If you want to route IPv6 for your LAN, you can instruct 6to4.pl to setup Router Advertising for you too:
/usr/pkg/sbin/hf6to4 rtadvd-start
You can put that command into
/etc/ppp/ip-up as well to make it
If you have changed
to setup 6to4 automatically, you will most likely want
to change
/etc/ppp/ip-down too, to
shut it down when you go offline. Here's what to put
logger -p user.info -t ip-down Shutting down 6to4 IPv6 /usr/pkg/sbin/hf6to4 rtadvd-stop /usr/pkg/sbin/hf6to4 stop
It is normally not necessary to pick a specific 6to4 relay router, but if necessary, you may find a list of known working routers at http://www.kfu.com/~nsayer/6to4/. In tests, only 6to4.kfu.com and 6to4.ipv6.microsoft.com were found working. Cisco has one that requires registration, see http://www.cisco.com/ipv6/.
There's also an experimental 6to4 server located in Germany, 6to4.ipv6.fh-regensburg.de. This server runs under NetBSD 1.6 and was setup using the configuration steps described above. The whole configuration of the machine can be seen at http://www.feyrer.de/IPv6/netstart.local.
The 6to4 protocol encapsulates IPv6 packets in IPv4, and gives them their own IP type, which most firewalls block as unknown, as their payload type is directly "TCP", "UDP" or "ICMP". Usually, you want to setup your 6to4 gateway on the same machine that is directly connected to the (IPv4) internet, and which usually runs the firewall. For the case that you want to run your 6to4 gateway behind a firewall, you need to drill a hole into the firewall, to let 6to4 packets through. Here is how to do this!
The example assumes that you use the "ppp0" interface on your firewall to connect to the Internet.
Put the following lines into
/etc/ipf.conf to allow your IPfilter
firewall let all 6to4 packets pass (lines broken with \ due to
space restrictions; please put them lines continued that way
all in one line):
# Handle traffic by different rulesets block in quick on ppp0 all head 1 block out quick on ppp0 all head 2 ### Incoming packets: # allow some IPv4: pass in log quick on ppp0 proto tcp from any to any \ port = www flags S keep state keep frags group 1 pass in quick on ppp0 proto tcp from any to any \ port = ssh keep state group 1 pass in quick on ppp0 proto tcp from any to any \ port = mail keep state group 1 pass in log quick on ppp0 proto tcp from any to any \ port = ftp keep state group 1 pass in log quick on ppp0 proto tcp from any to any \ port = ftp-data keep state group 1 pass in log quick on ppp0 proto icmp from any to any group 1 # allow all IPv6: pass in quick on ppp0 proto ipv6 from any to any group 1 pass in log quick on ppp0 proto ipv6-route from any to any group 1 pass in log quick on ppp0 proto ipv6-frag from any to any group 1 pass in log quick on ppp0 proto ipv6-icmp from any to any group 1 pass in log quick on ppp0 proto ipv6-nonxt from any to any group 1 pass in log quick on ppp0 proto ipv6-opts from any to any group 1 # block rest: blockin log quick on ppp0 all group 1 ### Outgoing packets: # allow usual stuff: pass out quick on ppp0 proto tcp from any to any flags S \ keep state keep frags group 2 pass out quick on ppp0 proto udp from any to any \ keep state keep frags group 2 pass out quick on ppp0 proto icmp from any to any \ keep state group 2 # allow all IPv6: pass out quick on ppp0 proto ipv6 from any to any group 2 pass out log quick on ppp0 proto ipv6-route from any to any group 2 pass out log quick on ppp0 proto ipv6-frag from any to any group 2 pass out log quick on ppp0 proto ipv6-icmp from any to any group 2 pass out log quick on ppp0 proto ipv6-nonxt from any to any group 2 pass out log quick on ppp0 proto ipv6-opts from any to any group 2 # block rest: block out log quick on ppp0 all group 2
Now any host on your network can send (the "out" rules) and receive (the "in" rules) v4-encapsulated IPv6 packets, allowing setup of any of them as a 6to4 gateway. Of course you only want to do this on one host and use native IPv6 between your hosts, and you may also want to enforce this with more restrictive rulesets, please see ipf.conf(5) for more information on IPFilter rules.
After your firewall lets pass encapsulated IPv6 packets, you
may want to set up your 6to4 gateway to monitor the IPv6
traffic, or even restrict it. To do so, you need to setup
IPfilter on your 6to4 gateway as well. For basic monitoring,
enable "ipfilter=yes" in
and put the following into
pass in log quick on stf0 from any to any pass out log quick on stf0 from any to any
This logs all (IPv6) traffic going in and out of your "stf0" tunneling interface. You can add filter rules as well if needed.
If you are more interested in traffic stats than a general overview of your network traffic, using MRTG in conjunction with the "net-snmp" package is recommended instead of analyzing IPfilter log files.
Compared to where IPv4 is today, IPv6 is still in its early steps. It is working, there are all sort of services and clients available, only the userbase is missing. It is hoped the information provided here helps people better understand what IPv6 is, and to start playing with it.
A few links should be mentioned here for interested parties:
An example script to setup 6to4 on BSD based machines is available at http://www.NetBSD.org/packages/net/hf6to4/. The script determines your IPv6 address and sets up 6to4 and (if wanted) router advertising. It was designed to work in dialup setups with changing IPv4 addresses.
Given that there isn't a standard for IPv6 in Linux land today, there are different setup instructions for most distributions. The setup of IPv6 on Debian GNU/Linux can be found at http://people.debian.org/~csmall/ipv6/setup.html.
The BSD Unix implementations have their own IPv6 documentation each, interesting URLs are http://www.NetBSD.org/docs/network/ipv6/ for NetBSD, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html for FreeBSD.
Projects working on implementing IPv6 protocol stacks for free Unix like operating systems are KAME for BSD and USAGI for Linux. Their web sites can be found at http://www.kame.net/ and http://www.linux-ipv6.org/. A list of host and router implementations can be found at http://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng/html/ipng-implementations.html.
Besides the official RFC archive at ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes, information on IPv6 can be found at several web sites. First and foremost, the 6Bone's web page at http://www.6bone.net/ must be mentioned. 6Bone was started as the testbed for IPv6, and is now an important part of the IPv6-connected world. Other web pages that contain IPv6-related contents include http://www.ipv6.org/, http://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng/html/ and http://www.ipv6forum.com/. Most of these sites carry further links - be sure to have a look!

DAVIS, Calif. – In a battle between a pair of Big West Conference leaders on Saturday, UC Davis came out on top with two narrow victories over visiting UC Santa Barbara at La Rue Field. The Aggies edged out UCSB, 4-2, in game one before topping the Gauchos, 4-3, in extra innings during the second game of the doubleheader.
With the losses, UCSB falls to 23-28 on the season and 8-6 in Big West play. The Aggies improve to 20-25 and 10-4 in league, which keeps them in a tie for first with Long Beach State and Pacific.
In the second game of the doubleheader, UCSB battled back from a three-run deficit to tie the contest and send it into extra innings before succumbing to the Aggies in the bottom of the ninth.
UC Davis had gained the early advantage in the bottom of the third when Amy Nunez scored on a two-out throwing error by the Gauchos. A two-out two run home run by Nunez in the next inning pushed the Aggie lead to 3-0.
In the sixth, Jessica Soria led off with her second triple of the season and a ground out to second base from Allison Taylor sent her home one out later to put UCSB on the scoreboard.
Lainey DePompa opened the seventh inning with a double to right center field and one out later, Jenessa Jeppesen hit an infield single to put runners on the corners. Lauren Boser's two-RBI double to left field tied the game and forced extra innings.
Pitcher Andriana Collins retired six consecutive batters to keep the Gauchos in the game, but UCSB couldn't manage to bring its base runners home, stranding two in the eighth inning and leaving the bases loaded in the ninth.
UC Davis' Rachel Miller drew a walk to lead off in the bottom of the ninth and was able to advance on a Gaucho error. Kylie Fan walked before Kelly Schulze provided the game-winning heroics in the form of a timely single to left center field, which drove Miller home.
Collins (5-14) suffered the loss after tossing the last four innings. She allowed just one unearned run on two hits. Boser led the Gauchos' offensive effort going 3-for-4 with two RBI and a double.
In game one, UCSB got off to a strong start. With one out, Kathryn Pilpil hit a triple to center field and came home on a sacrifice fly belted to left field by Taylor to put the Gauchos out to a 1-0 lead.
UCSB led until the bottom of the second when Schulze drove Kylie Fan home with an RBI double hit to right center field. After advancing on a sacrifice bunt by JJ Wagoner, Schulze scored on an illegal pitch to put the Aggies up, 2-1.
UC Davis scored two more runs in the third when Schulze hit a two-out double to right field.
The Gauchos chipped away at the deficit when Keilani Jennings belted a 1-0 pitch over the center field fence to put the Gauchos within two runs.
Pitcher Shelby Wisdom held off the Aggies through the next three innings to keep the Gauchos in the game. In the top of the seventh with two outs, Lauren Boser started a rally with a single hit to left center. Jeppesen drew a walk and an error allowed McKenzie Kane to reach first and load the bases. Aggie pitcher Justine Vela was able to squelch the comeback with a strikeout to end the game.
Wisdom (18-14) suffered the loss after allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits. She struck out eight and allowed two walks.
UCSB will conclude its series with UC Davis on Sunday at La Rue Field with a noon game.

Midsize companies should get ready this month as Microsoft introduces a new purchasing scheme that changes the way it deals with its volume licensing customers.
The company says the purpose of the new Microsoft Products and Services Agreement (MPSA) is to make buying and managing volume licenses easier, according to a blog by Richard Smith, the general manager of Microsoft's World Wide Licensing & Pricing.
BACKGROUND:An Independent View of Microsoft Software License Agreements
SECURITY:Microsoft bulks up security; brings encrypted email to Office 365 Enterprise bundles
MPSA replaces Microsoft Business and Services Agreements, Select Plus Agreements and Microsoft Online Services purchasing terms and conditions. The program will include a new website that offers a new set of options for making purchases and keeping track of agreements easier, according to Smith.
An online seminar on the MPSA is scheduled for December 10 for UK customers, according to the blog Software Ruminations.
Customers using hybrid clouds based on Microsoft products want more flexible licensing to accommodate their unique needs, Smith writes in his blog.
The contract structure for volume licenses changes under MPSA so there will be one agreement covering all of a customer's organizations and individual entities in a way that "delivers the best overall value based on total volume," as Smith describes it.
Buying all Microsoft software and online services as a single package means fewer terms and conditions to manage, he writes. MPSA will include Web-based tools for choosing payment options and give customers an overall view of what they've bought and licensed. Eventually the tools will be expanded to gather business intelligence to help customers plan future purchases, he says.
Microsoft has piloted MPSA during the past year, and this month becomes available in the US, U.K., Germany and Canada, with more to come, including Australia presumably, next year.

Older Unemployed Face a Tough Road
By Rick Levinson , January 02, 2014 04:16 PM
What's the prognosis for the older long-term unemployed? Grim.
That's the takeaway from " Set for Life," a new American Public Television documentary underwritten by the AARP Foundation. The hour-long program tracks several primary breadwinners who have lost their jobs, the effect that has on their families and their efforts to land a new one.
The program catalogs the dismantling of the American Dream - an informal compact that assured workers of relative job stability, health care, and the opportunity to own an affordable home. The Great Recession of 2008 turned those assumptions on their head creating prolonged unemployment for millions, repeated layoffs and home foreclosures.

The statistics for older jobless workers paint a dismal picture. Those aged 55 and older were unemployed for about 51 weeks as of November 2013, about three months longer than their younger counterparts, according to AARP. And when older workers do land a new job, it's often for less money.
The families in Set for Life also face health problems (several lack health insurance) and the specter of losing their homes.
Adding to the pain, Congress let extended unemployment benefits lapse at the end of 2013, affecting about 1.3 million job seekers, according to AARP. AARP is pressing for a restoration of those benefits through 2014 and an emergency three-month extension has been proposed. It remains unclear if that will pass in Congress.
Meanwhile, check your local listings for airings of Set for Life. A note of caution, though, while the program is eye-opening, it's pretty heart-wrenching.
