Worldwide Travel Information (areaflag) World Countries > Europe > Poland
PolandPoland is a country in Central Europe, bordered by Germany to the west; the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south; Ukraine Belarus and Lithuania to the east; and the Baltic Sea and Kaliningrad Oblast, a Russia exclave, to the north.
Poland is a unitary state made up of 16 voivodeship . Poland is a member of the European Union, NATO the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), European Economic Area, International Energy Agency, Council of Europe, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, International Atomic Energy Agency, European Space Agency, G6, Council of the Baltic Sea States, Visegrád Group, Weimar Triangle and Schengen Agreement.
The establishment of a Polish state is often identified with the adoption of Christianity by its ruler Mieszko I in 966, over the territory similar to that of present-day Poland. The Kingdom of Poland was formed in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented a long association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by signing the Union of Lublin, forming the Polish–Lithuania Commonwealth. The Commonwealth ceased to exist in 1795 as the Polish lands were partitioned among the Kingdom of Prussia the Russia Empire, and Old Austria. Poland regained its independence as the Second Polish Republic in 1918.
Two decades later, in September 1939, World War II started with the Nazi Germany and Soviet Union invasion of Poland (Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact). Over six million Polish citizens died in the war. The People's Republic was declared in 1952 although Poland was a client state of the Soviet Union from the closing days of the war. During the Revolutions of 1989, the communist state was overthrown and democratic rule was re-established in the form of the current Poland, constitutionally known as the "Third Polish Republic".
Despite the vast destruction the country experienced in World War II, Poland managed to preserve much of its cultural wealth. There are currently 14 heritage sites inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in Poland. Since the end of the communist period, Poland has achieved a "very high" ranking in terms of human development.

Don't lock us out of our land
When I parked beside the locked gate at the Forest Service's recreation site, a hefty entrance sign that had been bolted together out of four-by-fours lay flat on the gravel. The steel tube where campers were supposed to deposit their fee had an autumn shade of rust spiraling up its trunk. A welcome sign had been replaced by one insisting that the road was closed.
Such a fine campground, decommissioned like so many others as public land agencies struggle to rein in their spending. I locked the truck anyway before climbing over the gate, just in case the ghosts of former campers had taken to haunting the premises.
Five years ago was the last time I'd stayed overnight at this national forest facility in western Colorado, and I had cheerfully assumed that it would always be open, perennial as the wildflowers. Rarely crowded and located only a few miles downstream from a dam, this recreational campground served as an ideal fishing corridor and general pit stop, not to mention a place for quiet contemplation and restoration of the soul. I know, that's a lot to expect from a park, but like much of the public, I spend a considerable amount of time worshipping at the chapel of our national forests.
One feature that always attracted me to this particular spot was a ribbon of concrete that contractors had poured beside the river. It runs the entire length of the campground. At the time of its completion over 15 years ago, I thought, "Wow, the tax dollars must be as slippery as the fish -- strictly catch and release." Now, the unnecessary walkway is striped with weeds. They might be green, but they sure don't resemble money.
Even more impressive is the high sandstone wall that looms across the river. An array of gunshots pock and mar its surface, but nothing short of a cataclysmic event could decommission this monolith made by nature. It was built by the kind of slow upheaval that bureaucrats will never understand. It requires no budget or maintenance. It's just rock, solid and inspirational.
Every Forest Service campground feature I encountered during this comeback tour qualified as being on the path to ruin. The concrete walls of the toilet had been bulldozed flat. The gravel ring road that serviced the campsites was losing its war with the weeds. Those cast-iron fire-rings at empty picnic sites gaped reminded me of burned-out stars.
It may seem logical that as our public-land budgets are downsized, our accessibility to those lands must also be reduced, but logic doesn't originate in the heart. The public may no longer be able to afford rangers or the regular maintenance of hiking trails, visitor centers, museum displays, bookstores, brochures and trail guides, but if it all has to go, then let it go. Accessibility, however, should not be on the table, even if there are no tables.
Just give us a piece of gravel where we can park and maybe a toilet. We'll provide the toilet paper and enough imagination to appreciate the unimproved natural world. If it's too expensive to maintain the toilets, we'll bear that too.
Nothing is more frustrating than austerity, especially after we've had it all. Of course, nature might disagree. I saw disastrous changes when I arrived at this derelict campground, but I also happened to see them on a glorious afternoon. Everything woody was changing color for fall, wildflowers still speckled the landscape, and the sun poured through the thinly filtered canopy of trees, promising an unusually warm morning and a full-service afternoon, especially for mushrooms like puffballs.
It could be that the "public" isn't sophisticated enough to care for its public lands without a government agency to supervise it. It could also be that the passes, permits, stickers and policies in place had improved the public's access. But as I circled this overbuilt and now decaying campground, I couldn't help asking myself: 'How much of this stuff do we really need?' Show me a trail marker; I can find my way.
I yawned, feeling a bit like Rip Van Winkle. As I made my way back to the truck, I uncovered the numbered post from what had been my favorite campsite, tossed into the weeds. I picked it up and took it home with me, then pounded it into the ground beside my driveway. It will be the proof that I have a genuine interest in calling our public lands my home.

Although the PW backend is really intuitive, ever so often my clients need some assistance. Be it they are not so tech savvy or they are not working in the backend often.
For those cases it is nice to make some help videos available to editors. This is what this module does.
ProcessHelpVideos Module
A Process module to display help videos for the ProcessWire CMS. It can be used to make help videos (screencasts) available to content editors.
This module adds a 'Help Videos" section to the ProcessWire backend. The help videos are accessible through an automatically created page in the Admin page tree. You can add your help videos as pages in the page tree. The module adds a hidden page to the page tree that acts as parent page for the help video pages. All necessary fields and templates will be installed automatically. If there are already a CKEditor field and/or a file field for mp4 files installed in the system, the module will use those. Otherwise it will create the necessary fields. Also the necessary templates for the parent help videos page and it's children are created on module install. The module installs a permission process-helpvideos. Every user role that should have access to the help video section, needs this permission. I use the help video approach on quite a few production sites. It is stable so far and well received by site owners/editors. Up until now I installed required fields, templates and pages manually and then added the module. Now I added all this logic to the install method of the module and it should be ready to share.
The module and further description on how to use it is available on github: https://github.com/gebeer/ProcessHelpVideos
If you like to give it a try, I am happy to receive your comments/suggestions here.

A module created in response to the topic here:

Hello all,
sharing my new module FieldtypeImagePicker. It provides a configurable input field for choosing any type of image from a predefined folder.
The need for it came up because a client had a custom SVG icon set and I wanted the editors to be able to choose an icon in the page editor.
It can also be used to offer a choice of images that are used site-wide without having to upload them to individual pages.
There are no image manipulation methods like with the native PW image field.
Module and full description can be found on github https://github.com/gebeer/FieldtypeImagePicker
Kudos to @Martijn Geerts. I used his module FieldTypeSelectFile as a base to build upon.
Here's how the input field looks like in the page editor:
Hope it can be of use to someone.
If you like to give it a try, I'm happy to hear your comments or suggestions for improvement. Eventually this will go in the module directory soon, too.

"So I've called you boys into my office because I'm concerned about your choices. Joyce, McCully and Key; here's the thing to remember when wanting to be part of the club and play with the big boys. A 6 million dollar sweetener does not make someone your friend. Especially when it's from my purse! I know it's exciting to be cutting fast and loose and ethics is for, well, kittens. I know you think we're all a bunch of Nanas and that you're in the 'real world.' No! I don't care that everyone is doing it. Local body politicians do it when they go fishing with wealthy developers. Developers do it when they hire ex MP's . They say it's not corruption – it's simply 'facilitating deals.' Others call it buying process but that's just semantics and I really do want to get through to you boys that when you leave the house you're representing the whole whanau.
When you're in the club and playing big boys it's easy to get confused and think that you're important, so important that the rules don't apply to you.
But here's the thing; there are always bigger fish than you and we are a little p*&s- fart nation floating in the middle of the Pacific and we can't afford not to play by the rules if we don't want to become the next banana Republic in a land with no bananas.
If you pay 6 million dollars to a private businessman as a 'facilitation fee' because you're afraid he's going to make good on his threat to stand over you for 30 because you reneged on an even bigger deal that this family was unlikely to agree to…. then you clearly don't understand what the problem is with the Trans Pacific Partnership deal. If it really were a partnership and about free trade then it might be worth looking at. The risk is that it is in fact a Trans Pacific Standover Deal, and it could effectively work in exactly the same way. Ask Equador how that worked out for them with the mining companies and their national parks. It is fine if you, McCully want to invest your personal money in a sheep farm in a desert. Go for it. Fill your boots! But if it's whanau money it we need to know about it. Somewhere it needs to be sanctioned that it is a priority –especially when you seem to have no regional development plan for places like Northland that doesn't involve digging stuff up and shipping it out with little sign of jobs – and to be honest adding to climate change doesn't look smart long term. Ask Texas if they're still listening to climate change deniers right now. What happens to boys like you is you end up taking the rap for the really big fish in some grotty prison, in your case McCully in the middle East – and I don't want you to take the rest of us down with you. It's why, in this family we have values. It's what we stand for. Don't like it? Get a job with Fifa."Read More......

Caroline Glick of the Jerusalem Post wonders "How is it that, after three and a half years of absorbing massacre after massacre, Israel now finds itself on trial" at the Hague? Glick thinks that "the answer to this question is found in part in the latest State Department Human Rights Report." The report, "aside from condemning every action Israel has taken to combat terrorism and thereby equating actions aimed at protecting Israeli citizens with terrorism, something even more offensive. [It] very sensitively gives the names of a dozen or so Palestinian children who died during Israeli assaults against Palestinian terrorists who used these children for cover. Yet, grotesquely, while the names of Palestinian children are listed, the report provides not one name of any Israeli victim of Palestinian terrorism."
Glick's description of the State Department's report, as well as related developments regarding the Hague proceeding and the fence, left me feeling quite depressed. If there's a silver lining, though, it's the realization the State Department cannot maintain even the appearance of being an honest broker with respect to Israeli security. One hopes, therefore, that, to the extent possible, Israel will view Foggy Bottom's actions and pronouncements the same way it views those of the "International Court of Justice" at the Hague. There really isn't much difference between the two institutions, at least when it comes to Israel.

Hydrotherapy - water therapy
Hydrotherapy involves using water to treat diseases and ease physical pain. It is one of the oldest forms of medical treatment and the curative properties of water are recorded in the writings of several ancient cultures. Hippocrates advocated the benefits of both hot and cold water and prescribed them for a variety of complaints. In the Roman Empire, water's role in a healthy lifestyle was epitomised by the key role that public baths played in Roman cultural life.
Following a revival in the 1800s, hydrotherapy is often employed today in treatments for a number of conditions, including arthritis, spinal injuries and burns. In the first half of the 1900s some institutions began installing communal baths to help treat children who had suffered muscular, skeletal and nerve damage as a result of diseases such as tuberculosis and polio.
Hydrotherapy embraces a number of treatments that involve using water at a range of temperatures. These can include whole-body steam baths, localised bathing of specific parts of the body, the use of water sprays, water enemas and the application of water-saturated bandages and wraps.

SMEs; Virtual research and development (R&D) teams and new product development: A literature review
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are indeed the engines of global economic growth. Their continued growth is a major subject for the economy and employment of any country. Towards that end, virtual research and development (R&D) could be a viable option to sustain and ease the operations of SMEs. However, literature shows there has not been a great deal of research into the diverse characteristic of virtual R&D teams in SMEs. This article provides a comprehensive literature review on different aspects of virtual R&D teams collected from the reputed publications. The purpose of the literature review is to provide an outline on the structure and dynamics of R&D collaboration in SMEs. Specifying the rationale and relevance of virtual teams, the relationship between virtual R&D team for SMEs and new product development (NPD) has been examined. It concludes with identifying the gaps and feebleness in the existing literature and calls for future research in this area. It is argued to form of virtual R&D team deserves consideration at top level management for venturing into the new product development within SMEs.

Siblings of Jesus are referred to collectively twice in the Gospels. In the account of the "true kindred" (Matt. 12.46–50 par.), Jesus' mother and brothers come to speak to him while he is teaching. Jesus refuses to see them, however, saying that his true sister, brother, and mother are those who do the will of God.
When Jesus teaches at the synagogue in his hometown of Nazareth, the listeners react angrily to his wisdom and mighty works (Matt. 13.53–58; Mark 6.1–6). The crowd doubts that a local person could be endowed with such power, and they cite the presence of his parents, brothers, and sisters as proof. The brothers are listed by name (James, Joseph [Mark reads Joses], Simon, and Judas) but the sisters only as a group. In Luke 4.22, the crowd asks simply, "Is not this Joseph's son?"
References to brothers and sisters of Jesus conflict with some understandings of the virgin birth. For those who feel that Jesus' mother Mary remained a virgin for life, brothers and sisters must be read as cousins or as stepbrothers and stepsisters fathered by Joseph in another, unmentioned, marriage.

Name: Franklin Zollicoffer Rank/Branch: E4/US Army Unit: U.S. Army Installation - Pleiku Date of Birth: 22 November 1950 (Attala County MS) Home City of Record: Kosciusko MS Date of Loss: 24 April 1972 Country of Loss: South Vietnam Loss Coordinates: 143918N 1074711E (ZB001219) Status (in 1973): Killed/Body Not Recovered Category: 3 Aircraft/Vehicle/Ground: Ground Refno: 1833
Source: Compiled from one or more of the following: raw data from U.S. Government agency sources, correspondence with POW/MIA families, published sources, interviews. Updated by the P.O.W. NETWORK in 2007.
Other Personnel in Incident: Robert W. Brownlee; George W. Carter; James E. Hunsicker; Johnny M. Jones; Kenneth J. Yonan; Wade L. Ellen (all missing); Charles M. Lea; Rickey V. Vogel (helicopter crew, rescued); Julius G. Warmath; John P. Keller; Walter H. Ward (helicopter passengers, rescued); Charles W. Gordon, Cao Ky Chi (evaded capture near Dak To)
SYNOPSIS: On the evening of April 23, 1972, Capt. Kenneth J. Yonan accompanied his ARVN counterpart to a water tower located on the northwestern edge of the Tanh Canh base camp compound near Dak To, Kontum Province, South Vietnam. Yonan was an advisor assigned to Advisory Team 22, MACV, and was assisting the ARVN 42nd Regiment based there.
At about 0530 hours on April 24, Capt. Yonan was still in the water tower when Viet Cong attacked the camp perimeter. Although tanks fired at and hit the water tower, two other advisors spoke to Capt. Yonan after the firing and Yonan reported that he was not hit and planned to join the other advisors when it was safe to do so. Radio contact was maintained with Yonan until 0730 hours. The other U.S. advisors began escape and evasion operations from the beleaguered compound.
Team 22 Advisors Maj. George W. Carter, Maj. Julius G. Warmath, and Capt. John P. Keller, were extracted by helicopter. The aircraft was a UH1H from the 52nd Aviation Battalion, 17th Aviation Group, (serial #69-15715) and was flown by Lt. James E. Hunsicker. WO Wade L. Ellen was the co-pilot of the chopper, and SP4 Charles M. Lea, and SP5 Rickey V. Vogel were crewmen. Other persons extracted included 1Lt. Johnny M. Jones, from the 52nd Aviation Battalion; SP4 Franklin Zollicoffer, from the U.S. Army Installation at Pleiku, and Sgt. Walter H. Ward, unit not specified.
The helicopter departed to the northwest from Dak To, but was apparently hit by enemy fire, as it crashed and burned on a small island in the Dak Poko River about 500 meters from the end of the dock to the runway. Because of the rolling terrain, personnel at the airfield did not see the aircraft impact. A pilot flying over the wreckage reported that the helicopter was burning, but they could see no survivors. It was later discovered that five people did survive the crash - Warmath, Keller, Vogel, Ward and Lea. According to their statements, Hunsicker, Ellen, Zollicoffer, Jones and Carter were all dead.
Two other Team 22, MACV Advisors, LtCol. Robert W. Brownlee and Capt. Charles W. Gordon, and their ARVN interpreter, Sgt. Cao Ky Chi, were in a bunker near the airstrip approximately 4 kilometers to the west of the base camp when they were forced to withdraw under heavy enemy attack. They proceeded south of the compound across the Dak Poko River, but LtCol. Brownlee became separated from the others as they were advancing up a hill. Sgt. Chi and Capt. Gordon called out to him, but received no response. From the top of the hill, Sgt. Chi heard the enemy call out to someone in Vietnamese to halt and raise their hands. Sgt. Chi believed the Viet Cong were speaking to LtCol. Brownlee. Gordon and Chi evaded capture and eventually made their way to safety.
A Vietnamese who was captured and subsequently released reported that he had talked to another prisoner who had witnessed LtCol.Brownlee's death. He was told that LtCol. Brownlee had killed himself with his own pistol when communist soldiers told him to raise his hands in an attempt to capture him. Additional hearsay reports of his suicide were reported by another ARVN source.
Yonan never caught up with the others. For three days, helicopter searches were made of the area with no success. Ground search, because of the hostile threat in the area, was not practical.
In April 1988, the Vietnamese "discovered" the remains of Capt. Kenneth J. Yonan and returned them to the U.S. in a spirit of stepped-up cooperation on the POW/MIA issue. For nearly 20 years, this 1969 West Point graduate was a prisoner of war - alive or dead. His family now knows with certainty that he is dead, but may never learn how - or when - he died.
In addition to the reports regarding Brownlee's death, a South Vietnamese soldier reported that he observed the capture of one "big" American from the camp. Another report described the capture of a U.S. Captain stationed at the camp.
Since the war ended, reports and refugee testimony have convinced many authorities that not only do the Vietnamese possess several hundred sets of Americans' remains, more startlingly, they also control hundreds of living American prisoners.
As long as they are allowed to do so, the Vietnamese will return remains at politically expedient intervals. As long as they are allowed to do so, they will hold our men prisoner.
Official data bases do not tell the whole story of this mission.
While Rickey Von Vogel is only noted as "rescued", in reality, Sp5 Vogel was missing from April 24, 1972 until his return to military control May 6, 1972. During that time, despite severe wounds that included bullet wounds and broken bones, he managed to escape and evade capture for almost 2 weeks until his rescue.
Rickey Vogel was awarded the Purple Heart and 3 Air Medals in addition to various Vietnam awards and decorations for his service. After his medical evacuation and recovery, he continued to serve his country until his discharge in 1974.
Rickey Von Vogel Death of SP/4 Franklin Zollicoffer Franklin was wounded beyond our capability to help him, on the second day the N.V.A. sent a 7 man patrol to check our Crash Site for survivor's he begged us to let them kill him! We gagged him with his sock's smeared river mud on our hand's & face's. Remember me & my D.G. Lea are the only to people who could hold a rifle and defend ourselves. To make a long story short they took a smoke break me & my D,G, had a deadly cross-fire ambush set up if we were discovered. Thank God they pushed on across the river, after we ungagged Frank he broke all our heart's trying to shove his colt45 into our hand's begging for the (Coup-De-Grace) bullet of mercy, he was a southern Baptist Minister before becoming a Combat Medic, we refused his request all saying they will get us out, Don't worry! Well by day 3 he got pissed at all of us and said he was going to drag his self to drown in the River, he expired 1/2 way there. He shared a shallow grave with my P.P, Wade Ellen from north Folk VA. This mis-information pisses me off that has been posted. The army told his folk's his chopper crashed into a mountain & died instantly! I asked his mother if she wanted the truth or the army's story. He was her baby of the family. She chose the truth!
In Loving Memory of the finest man I have known. Me & My D.G. Lea buried him side by side with WO/1 Wade Ellen. Shakey This guy had gut's R.I.P. Brother! Lake of The Ozark's , MO. Blessed U.S.A. - Friday, June 18, 2004 at 19:04:55 (PDT)

I've run a few posts recently on older generations running down Millennials, so I thought—before moving on—that I ought to add this clip. It's from the new HBO series, "The Newsroom," written by Aaron Sorkin (first-wave Xer, born 1961, creator of "West Wing") and starring Jeff Daniels (Boomer, born 1955) as the cynical yet philosophical news anchor. In this clip, Millennials are portrayed as callow, shallow, and out of their depth. The starring Boomer, on the other hand, comes across as deep, passionate, heartfelt—and the flagrant insults he flings at his Millennial audience (e.g., "if you ever wandered into a voting booth") would be rude only if he weren't speaking truth to power, which in the Boomer mind justifies any manner of offensive behavior.
I'd be curious about what you all think:
One complaint about Sorkin as a screen writer is that he loves to create set-piece dialogue situations which sets up his favorite character to rhetorically vanquish an opponent, sometimes lending his shows a preachy tone. That certainly happens here. I've never in my life heard a Millennial ask a Boomer a question like, "Could you say why America is the greatest country in the world?" That's like pitching underhand to Ty Cobb. As one might expect, it triggers this Boomer to unload a truckload of venom. (His initial reluctance, I guess, makes his explosion seem more authentic.) Did you feel you were on the side of the preacher? Or did you feel preached at in this scene?
And what about the substance of his remarks? Are they on target? Here's a Boomer who no doubt recollects America's First Turning greatness in the 1950s with the rising G.I. Generation at the helm–when we were "number one" in everything because the rest of the world was staggering among the rubble of WWII. But, as I recall, it was the explicit intention of the leaders of that era to raise the rest of the world up to our level of productivity, affluence, and education precisely because we thought this would make the world a safer and better place. Among other things, we thought it would foster liberal and democratic values worldwide. That's why we funded the Marshall Plan and created the UN, IMF, World Bank, Bretton Woods, etc. In terms of geopolitical power, we remain the global hegemon. But in other respects, we are merely one of many. Would this result have really disappointed the leaders of the American High? Does it bother Millennials today?
One last point. Jeff Daniels (as anchorman Will McAvoy) does not talk so much about what his own generation has done that embodies a "greater" America (though he does talk about how we once did things for "moral reasons"). Rather, he talks mostly about what he recalls of greatness from the elders of his youth. Here, he epitomizes the Prophet Archetype, which seldom moralizes by invoking its own deeds—but rather by invoking memories of the Heroes it recalls from childhood. There's a wonderful book by George Forgie (Patricide in the House Divided: A Psychological Interpretation of Lincoln and his Age) about how Lincoln's Transcendental Generation–an extreme example of the Prophet Archetype–was forever talking guiltily about their parents' nation-founding greatness. They kept wringing their hands about it even as they led American into the Civil War.
Or, if you want to go back to the Ur-Model of all Prophet Archetypes, look at passages by the wise old Nestor in Homer's Illiad. He complains that all the Achaean warriors arrayed against Troy are mere "boys" compared to the right stuff he recalls from his own youth—the age of Jason and the Argonauts. When I first read this passage from Nestor, it made me think of all those fake re-enactments—like Mike Tyson versus Joe Louis in his prime. I'm suddenly thinking, did some ancient young Dorian wonder, after hearing the Nestor stanzas, about who would have won—Jason or Achilles–if they had been put in the same ring?

Keppinger to remain starter despite slow start
CHICAGO -- There is no dilemma for White Sox manager Robin Ventura in regard to filling third base in his starting lineup.
Yes, Jeff Keppinger has one single in 21 at-bats to start this season and is mired in a 0-for-19 funk. And yes, Conor Gillaspie made an immediate impact with two hits, two runs scored and strong defensive play during Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Mariners.
All of those facts basically add up to Gillaspie potentially getting a start at third base on Sunday against right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma, but Keppinger and his .288 career average are certainly staying as the starter at the position.
"We don't have any dilemmas," Ventura said. "Probably tomorrow, get [Gillaspie] in there and give him a couple at-bats here and there. I think with Kep, it's just a small sample. You know his track record and it'll change."
Gillaspie picked up his first career triple, and first hit with the White Sox, but wasn't pushing for any extra at-bats based on his strong effort against one of the game's best in Felix Hernandez.
"My job is to come in when I'm asked," Gillaspie said. "If guys need a breather or whatever, come in and do the best job I can and contribute. Whether it's getting hits, making plays or hitting a 20-hopper to second to score a run, that's my role on this team. I've got to keep working hard and keep trying to do it."

MasterCard, Visa Warn Banks of Massive Data Theft
MasterCard and Visa are notifying banks and credit unions about a possible security breach earlier this year at an unnamed credit card processor, according to a report on Krebs On Security.
While the exact size of the breach is unknown, the massive breach may involve more than 10 million compromised card numbers, sources told Brian Krebs, a security researcher behind Krebs on Security. The breach is believed to have happened between Jan. 21 and Feb. 25, Krebs wrote.
To be clear, it was a credit card payment processor, still unidentified, that was breached. MasterCard and Visa's systems were not compromised.
"We are investigating a potential data breach and as a result, have alerted payment card issuers regarding accounts that may be at risk," MasterCard said in a statement.
A payment processor acts as a middleman between merchants and financial organizations that issue credit cards to complete the credit card transaction. After a consumer makes a purchase with a credit card, the merchant (such as a restaurant and retailer) transmits the information to the payment processor, which then works with the appropriate bank or credit union to obtain the funds from the consumer's account.
How Did the Breach Happen?
Details of the attack are still sketchy at this point, although there are plenty of guesses. The likeliest scenario at this time has the attackers specifically targeting the employees at the payment processor. Assuming the data was encrypted, as they should have been under Payment Card Industry (PCI) rules, then the easiest way for the criminals to get access to the data is to somehow gain access to an employee account or computer, Anup Ghosh, founder and chief scientist of Invincea, said in an interview.
Attackers target employees at companies to get confidential information using spear phishing tactics every single day, Ghosh said. "Why would it not happen at a payment processor?" he asked. "It's the most successful way to get on the network," he said.
There's also a rumor that the gang breached the company systems by correctly guessing a user's knowledge-based-authentication (KBA) questions used by an application. It appears the attackers took over an administrative account that was not protected sufficiently, said Avivah Litan, a vice-president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.
KBA questions are commonly used as a secondary line of authentication after username and passwords, and are questions such as "Your mother's maiden name," "The color of your first car," or "Your first pet's name." Security experts have long complained that these systems are easy to bypass if the attacker spends some time researching the victim's social networking activity.
"I've spoken with folks in the card business who are seeing signs of this breach mushroom," Litan said.
The stolen data may include full Track 1 and Track 2 information, which would make it easy for criminals to create counterfeit cards. Krebs also cited a warning from PSCU, a firm that provides financial services to credit unions, stating that 876 accounts have already been identified as having fraudulent activity, out of more than 56,000 out of PSCU customers that may be affected by the breach.

Lehigh guard and preseason All-American C.J. McCollum said rehabilitation for a broken left foot is going well, and that he's started working out in a pool.
But the star senior gave no indication in a statement Saturday of whether he's hoping to return to the court this year for the Mountain Hawks.
McCollum was hurt three weeks ago during a 59-55 loss at Virginia Commonwealth. He said this has been a ``humbling and maturing experience,'' but he's focusing on academics and becoming a better student of the game.
McCollum, at the time of his injury, was leading the country in scoring at 25.7 points.
Still, Lehigh (14-4, 4-0 Patriot) has bounced back with five straight victories since McCollum went down, including a 65-62 win Wednesday at league rival Bucknell.
The Mountain Hawks host Lafayette on Sunday. McCollum had initially scheduled a news conference before the game to give an update on his recovery.
McCollum said he didn't want ``to be a distraction or deflect attention that rightfully belongs to my team. I am focusing on my academics and being the best supporter I can for my teammates. The focus should be on them and the success we're having as a program.''
The injury, he added, may have been a ``blessing in disguise ... This has been a very humbling and maturing experience and this adversity will only make me stronger.''
McCollum and Lehigh gained notoriety after stunning powerhouse Duke in the NCAA tournament last season. His injury was thought to be a blow to Lehigh's chances to win the Patriot League and return to the NCAAs.
But the Mountain Hawk still have savvy veterans from last year's run including senior forwards Gabe Knutson and Holden Greiner, and junior guard Mackey McKnight. They re-branded themselves the conference favorites after beating the Bison on the road.
The school had said McCollum's recovery time of eight to 10 weeks could make him available again by early March, in time for the Patriot League tournament. The team has also warned that could depend on the healing process, and coach Brett Reed has said McCollum's long-term future takes precedence.
McCollum, who has averaged 21.3 points over his Lehigh career, has been considered a potential first-round pick in the NBA draft. Last March, he scored 30 points when 15th-seeded Lehigh upset Duke 75-70.
``Everything is going well and I've heard nothing but positive feedback from trainers and team physicians,'' McCollum said. ``I will continue to be a positive influence on them, helping in every way possible from the sideline.''

|In a hackerspace a computer is needed everywhere, included behind the bar. So this project was born.
|Koen, Koert, berz, Warddr
|Den Bunker
- It allows everyone to play their favorite music.
- Stock management for the bar
- General purpose computing
The computer is situated next to the refrigerator. Its audio jack is connected to the amplifier to play music.
The touchscreen is a 17" LCD which connects using VGA. The touchscreen also has a serial port, which is connected to a serial-to-usb adapter.
It is fancy.
- We have a serial barcode scanner, but we don't use it at the moment
- Is this still available? Yes!!!
- Berz tried using debian (concerned with the system's reliability) but couldn't get the touchscreen (which isn't supported by the kernel) configured
- The barputer runs Xubuntu, which comes with Utouch, under we got the touchscreen working quickly
Install the needed packages:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-elographics xserver-xorg-input-evdev-dev utouch sudo apt-get install xinput-calibrator
Recognize the device at boot
echo 'inputattach -elo /dev/ttyS2' >> /etc/rc.local
Calibrate the touchscreen, and put the output here: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
This is the config I last used, but if you've got smaller finger feel free to optimize it:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "calibration" MatchProduct "Elo Serial TouchScreen" Option "Calibration" "4015 -4 6 4026" EndSection
The technical aspect of the setup is documented here, if you just want to play some music, check out How to play music
We use MPD (Music Player Daemon) as a music server. This allows us to use various clients at the same time, including over the network and on portable devices.
MPD can play audio streams. The list of streams is populated by scanning /home/barputer/Music/streams Aditionally MPD scans for music in /home/barputer/Music/shares. However no music is kept on barputer, and we intend to keep it this way. Instead, this directory is dynamically populated by mounting available music directories over the network.
Raf is the name of the script that mounts the shared music dirs, and is an abbreviation of Remote Audio Folders. It scans the network for available samba shares, keeps only those whose name contains the string 'music' to prevent mounting the wrong shares, mounts and updates the MPD library if necessary. It also scans if all the mounted shares are still accessible and unmounts them if they are not. Raf is invoked automatically by cron, keeping the MPD library up to date.
If you're impatient, you can force a sync by executing the following command on barputer:
# RAF sync
To add music to the MPD library we originally used djmount, a program which automatically mounts UPNP shares. This setup was copied from Whitespace and is documented here.
Forwarding sound through pulseaudio
Pulseaudio has replaced ALSA and OSS quite some time ago as the default sound server on linux. Since pulseaudio has networking built in by default, you can forward sound to barputer instead of your laptop speakers if you are running pulseaudio too (ie: run linux).
The CLI way
PULSE_SERVER=192.168.42.103 rhythmbox
This should start rhythmbox while sending the resulting audio to barputer. Warning: barputer's ip might change.
The GUI way (GNOME)
You will need to have paprefs, pavucontrol and avahi installed. Avahi needs to be running to discover network devices. Launch paprefs and tell pulseaudio to make remote audio servers available locally. Reboot to or restart Pulseaudio. Launch pavucontrol. Under the 'playback' tab you will see all programs playing audio listed. If Avahi detects barputer's pulseaudio server you should be able to select it to play one of these streams
Point of sales & Stock management
Using the vwcr application made by Koert. It's not completely finished yet, but it can be used (and is being used).
Every once in a while we make a full snapshot. These are full images that can be restored to the drive. The last image was made on 17/05/'12. The images are made using FSarchiver. We can't use Norton Ghost or Clonezilla since they don't have support for EXT4, which we use for barputer's root filesystem. Backup procedure:
- Boot a live cd which has FSarchver (you can use System Resque CD).
- Check the partition's name
- Mount the backup partition on /mnt: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
- make an archive: fsarchiver savefs --compress=4 /mnt/images$(date +%F) /dev/sdb1
- The first time we used --compress=5, which took a long time. So we should probably use level 4 or even 3.
A backup of all the files on the root drive is taken every hour. These backups are rotated. Every fifth hourly backup is kept for 25 hours and is called a 'recent' backup. Every fifth recent backup is kept for 125 hours and called a 'medium' backup. Every fifth medium backup is called an 'old' backup and is kept indefinably. One hour in this context refers to an hour the computer is turned on. The snapshots are made and rotated automatically.
This scheme uses rsync for snapshotting, rsnapshot for rotating, and space usage is kept down using hardlinks (every version of a file is only saved once).
$ sudo du -hs /media/backup/incremental/* 4.0K /media/backup/incremental/counter 3.8G /media/backup/incremental/hourly.0 138M /media/backup/incremental/hourly.1 71M /media/backup/incremental/hourly.2 123M /media/backup/incremental/hourly.3 72M /media/backup/incremental/hourly.4 82M /media/backup/incremental/young.0
*MOAR DOCUMENTING (on this page and How to play music)

- have barputer power itself on automatically when the space opens
- have barputer power itself off automatically when the space closes
- barputer hangs sometimes when booting, we don't know why

Christian Book Marketing Author's Press Release
Christian author Thomas G. Thompson presents, Christ's Humanity A Thing To be Grasped.
Have you ever questioned the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ? Let this book settle the score as to any doubt that resides in your mind about Christ and His humanity or His divinity. This work offers sound orthodox doctrine through presentation and analysis of Scripture, revealing the person as of Jesus Christ to be the Son of God, with a divine nature, but in human form. Therefore, He was fully God and fully man, making Him the perfect sacrificial Lamb sent to take away the sins of the world. Basing the book on the scripture, "He did not think existing in the form of and being equal to God as something to be grasped, but emptied himself taking the form of a slave." The author unveils to the reader that the sacrifice of Christ, as the true Son of God, is something to ponder, understand and fully grasp.
With such chapters such as: God, the Unity and Trinity: Christ as God and man; the Biblical Doctrine; Reasonable Questions; Christ's Humiliation and Exaltation; Christ as a Prophet, and subjects such as the atonement: justification and sanctification, the author gives the reader knowledge as to Christ's divinity and humanity that builds from a firm scriptural understanding of the trinity.
This is a work that is to be relished in one's mind and provokes deep appreciation as the book reveals an understanding of who Christ was and how His humanity relates to us. This is what makes the sacrifice complete – He was fully God and fully man. Offering biblical truth through the scriptures, the author does not give his opinion, but rather feeds the reader the Word of God about Christ. From reading this piece, the reader will discover a deeper knowing of the humanity of Jesus Christ and that it is something to be pondered on, as He "emptied himself" for mankind.
It is the author's earnest desire that the body of Christ be uplifted by a more full and true understanding of Christ's humanity. Readers will be enriched, enlightened and inspired by this book that is rich with scriptural truths.
Get your copy on Amazon or visit the author's website at Christ's Humanity where you will find out more about the author, the book and some great ministry.

Diagram model.
with LTL Architects and Megan Griscom
Designed as part of a collaborative charrette sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art, this project proposes a new landscape diffusing the relationship between land and water in the face of projected sea-level rise due to global warming. The site, currently home to Liberty State Park, is composed entirely of landfill and will be largely under water at high tide by 2060. Rather than take defensive measures to either protect the site or return it to an increasingly indeterminate state of nature, Intertidal envisions a land-water testing ground, trying out new relationships between land and water, new forms of amphibious agriculture, aquaculture, recreation, bioremediation, hydrological testing on a site that is in a state of perpetual construction.
The essence of the project is a cut-and-fill logic that removes land to create three giant inlets on the site, and moves it to adjacent areas to create subtle new shifts in topography that work with tides and seasonal floods to create dramatic differences in land-form and -use between low and high water. The inlets are delimited by four large pier formations, each subdivided by a wedge-form cross grain that creates a smooth gradient between land and water. Each wedge becomes a petri dish, an isolated test-bed for the amphibious programs listed above. The programs situated within a given wedge are organized according to water flows - from dry to wet, high to low, and fresh to saline. While programs bleed across the petri-dish boundaries to form new and unexpected relationships, the result is a landscape of radical differentiation that takes transformation as a normative condition, rather than a means to an end.

We know, Christmas was so last week, but indulge us. This is so good it doesn't matter what time of the year you watch it.
This is "8-Bit Holiday", by Andrew Jive, and shows what the video game characters of yesteryear get up to in the dead of night while we humans sleep and wait for Santa.

Even for experienced bakers, Passover is the greatest annual challenge. Passover bakers cannot use flour, yeast or even pure vanilla. Very few bakeries make kosher for Passover desserts, and those packaged Passover cookies and cakes have been sitting on the shelves in my local stores since January. In short, for this holiday, you really need to bake yourself, and that is why I included a Passover chapter in The Kosher Baker.
During Passover, you need to satisfy two distinct baking needs: You need elegant desserts to serve at the Seders, Shabbat and holiday days, and you cannot survive without snack food to get you through the week. For the Seders I give you the easy yet elegant Chocolate Almond Cake with Ganache Glaze. You can dress up the slices with puréed and strained strawberries or raspberries. To snack on, I present my Whole Wheat Passover Granola made with whole wheat matzoh farfel, nuts and dried fruit. You can eat it straight, on yogurt or ice cream, or in milk as a tastier alternative to pink and blue Passover breakfast cereals. The recipe makes almost seven cups of granola, and I ate six of them myself.
I won the get-out-of-Passover-free card this year and am headed to sunny Boca Raton where I will be baking exclusively chocolate desserts because any other dessert is against my mother's beliefs. And lest you think I am a slacker, I have been baking Passover desserts for two months already, teaching classes at home in Maryland/DC, Chicago and around New York, and creating new recipes for you. Look for more of my Passover desserts in the Passover issue of Kosher Inspired Magazine, Washington Jewish Week and the Washington Post. Trust me, the better the sweets, the happier you will be.
Two weeks out you are likely already making your lists and checking them thrice, have been to the store multiple times already and also to the bank for a home equity loan to pay for all this food. Tell me how you get through Passover. Here are my top ten survival tips to make your holiday enjoyable:
1. Save receipts from year to year so you have a shopping list of what you actually use, and edit during the holiday – if you buy 3 jars of jam and use two, change the list
2. The more chocolate you eat, the less you miss bread and pasta
3. Double snack food recipes
4. Eat healthy – plan meals around protein and vegetables
5. Stay away from kugel – wouldn't you rather have your Passover "carbs" in the form of dessert?
6. If you must eat kugel, every portion consumed demands 45 minutes of exercise
7. Don't get frustrated in your kitchen; make sure you have the equipment you need to make what you like
8. A method of making really good coffee during Passover is essential to shalom bayit (peace in the home)
9. Plan a Passover away every 5 years – during the holiday, dream about how next year you might get the get-out-of-Passover-free-card
10. The Kosher Baker has over 20 Passover recipes
Whole Wheat Passover Granola
3 cups whole wheat matzoh farfel
1 cup dried coconut flakes
1 cup pecan halves, chopped into ½ inch pieces
½ cup cashews, chopped into ½ inch pieces
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/3 cup chopped apricots (about 10 halves)
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper, making sure the paper goes ½ inch up the sides. In a large bowl, mix together the farfel, coconut, chopped pecans and cashews, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
Place the honey, oil and brown sugar into a glass measuring cup or microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 45 seconds, until the honey and sugar can be dissolved. Stir well. Pour over the farfel mixture and toss to coat. Spread on the prepared baking pan and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every ten minutes, until the farfel and nuts are browned. Let cool on the pan for 30 minutes. Mix in the fruit. Store in a freezer bag or airtight container.
Chocolate Almond Cake with Chocolate Glaze
Makes one 10-inch cake, 12 to 16 servings
1 cup whole almonds
Parve margarine for greasing pans
10 ounces parve semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup ground walnuts
3 large eggs plus 2 whites
3/4 cup sugar
7 ounces parve semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped or broken into 1-inch pieces
1 cup parve whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the almonds on a parchment-lined jelly roll pan and toast for 15 minutes, or until the almonds are browned and fragrant.
Take a 10-inch springform pan and detach the bottom. Trace the bottom onto a piece of parchment and cut out. Cover the top of the pan bottom with aluminum foil and then wrap the excess foil under the bottom. Attach the pan sides to the bottom, lock in place, and then unwrap the foil and wrap up around the sides of the pan. Grease the bottom and sides of the pan. Press the parchment circle into the bottom of the pan. Grease the top of the parchment circle.
Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the toasted almonds, ground walnuts, whole eggs, egg whites, and sugar and process until the mixture becomes a smooth batter. Make sure there are no large chocolate chunks in the batter.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes or until set. Let cool for 20 minutes.
To make the glaze: Melt the chocolate either on the stovetop or in the microwave. In a small saucepan over low heat, bring the cream and vanilla just to a boil. Pour the cream into the melted chocolate. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed or vigorously by hand with a whisk for 2 minutes to thicken the glaze.
Release the sides of the pan. Use a wide knife or long metal spatula to separate the parchment circle from the foil and slide the cake and parchment onto a serving platter. Place small pieces of waxed paper under and around the bottom of the cake to catch any extra glaze. Pour the glaze over the cake and use a silicone spatula to smooth the top and cover all over the sides. Store in the refrigerator until serving. Remove the waxed paper pieces, decorate with fruit, shaved chocolate, or nuts and serve.

Forty Under 40
Antoinette T. Bacon, 36
Assistant U.S. Attorney, Office of the United States Attorney
If you ask her, Antoinette Bacon will tell you the most productive and important time she has spent in the last few years has been the one hour a week in which she turns a group of young kids — some of whom had to be shown how to jump into a swimming pool — into a swim team.
She taught those kids about everything from loyalty to nutrition to gaining a sense of accomplishment, to the actual swimming.
"Imagine if everyone in Cleveland gave one hour a week," she said.
"I'd rather have my legacy not be Dimora; I'd rather have my legacy be a kid going to college," she said.
The North Royalton native had to give up that coaching recently to spend more time on her day job. Ms. Bacon, 36, is an assistant U.S. attorney, who along with fellow assistant attorney Ann Rowland has been leading the prosecution of dozens of public officials and businesspeople charged in the Cuyahoga County corruption case. Their work includes preparing for the coming trial of former county commissioner Jimmy Dimora.
But Ms. Bacon would rather keep that information to herself. No one on her swim team knew what work it was that sometimes made her late for practice. For a long time, even her friends and neighbors didn't know what she did for a living beyond what she would call "white-collar work for the Department of Justice."
Ms. Bacon has spent most of professional career as a federal prosecutor. A graduate of American University in Washington, D.C., and the University of Virginia School of Law, Ms. Bacon clerked for a Virginia U.S. District Court judge after her graduation from law school in 2000, then moved into the U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust division in Washington.
She transferred to the antitrust division's Cleveland office in 2002. Though some of her work in antitrust involved the kind of price-fixing cases that are the division's meat and potatoes, she got her feet wet there investigating corruption. It was a short jump to handling corruption cases in the separate office of the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.
"Toni is intense and she brings a real striving for excellence to everything she does," said Steven Dettelbach, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio and Ms. Bacon's boss.
Beyond the office, Ms. Bacon spends her time with her husband, Jim. "I used to have a pet turtle," she said. Then, defensively, she elaborated, "They're resilient — they have personalities."

SANTA CRUZ – A 20-year-old Santa Cruz man was arrested Saturday night after a man saw him breaking into a car, knocked a knife out of his hand and detained him, police said.
About 11:15 p.m., a 23-year-old man went to get something from his car and noticed the window had been shattered and some items were missing, police spokesman Zach Friend said. The car owner then heard a car alarm sounding nearby and saw a man in a hooded sweatshirt walking quickly away, Friend said.
The car owner stopped the man, began to ask him what he was doing, and then prevented him from leaving, and the suspect pulled out a knife, Friend said.
The car owner knocked the weapon out of his hand, and with help from a friend, was able to hold him until police arrived. The victim suffered some abrasions while struggling with the suspect, Friend said.
Ramon Suarez-Talamantes was arrested on suspicion of burglary, possession of stolen property and assault, police said.
Police say he broke into a Honda CRV and a Volkswagen sedan.
Santa Cruz police ask anyone with information to call the anonymous tipline at 420-5995 or leave a tip at www.santacruzpolice.com or on its cellphone application at http://m.santacruzpolice.com.
