Microsoft repairs dangerous XML Core Services zero-day flaw
The Microsoft XML Core Services vulnerability is being actively targeted by cybercriminals. In addition, Microsoft issued a critical update to Internet Explorer 9.
Microsoft is patching a dangerous zero-day vulnerability in its XML Core Services being actively targeted by cybercriminals over the last month.
A successful attack gives a cybercriminal the ability to take complete control of the victim's system and create new accounts with full user rights.
The software giant issued nine security bulletins, three critical, addressing 16 vulnerabilities across its product line as part of its July 2012 Patch Tuesday.
Microsoft acknowledged that it detected malicious code targeting the XML Core Services vulnerability. Cybercriminals set up malicious sites to lure their victims or conduct drive-by attacks that target Internet Explorer users. A successful attack gives a cybercriminal the ability to upload more malware onto a victim's machine, take complete control of the victim's system, and create new accounts with full user rights, Microsoft said.
An exploit for the vulnerability has made it into the Metasploit toolkit and into the notorious Black Hole automated attack toolkit, wrote Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of vulnerability management vendor Qualys Inc., in a blog post analyzing the July 2012 Microsoft bulletins.
According to MS12-043, the memory corruption vulnerability is rated "critical" for users of XML Core Services 3.0, 4.0 and 6.0 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, and Core Services 5.0 on Microsoft Office 2003, 2007, Microsoft Office Word Viewer, Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack, Microsoft Expression Web, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Groove Server 2007.
Microsoft also issued a critical update to the latest version of its Internet Explorer browser, fixing a pair of flaws that could be exploited remotely by attackers to gain access to a victim's system. Microsoft said it is easy for attackers to reverse engineer the patch and develop an exploit, giving the bulletin an exploitability index rating of "1." The flaws are rated "critical" for Internet Explorer 9 on Windows clients and "moderate" for Internet Explorer 9 on Windows servers. MS12-044 repairs a cached object and an attribute remove remote code execution vulnerability in IE9, fixing the way the browser accesses an object that has been deleted.
A critical Windows vulnerability in Microsoft Data Access Components could enable attackers to gain complete control of a victim's machine. The flaw was addressed in MS12-045 and affects all versions of Windows. It is rated "moderate" for users of Microsoft's server software. An attacker could target the flaw by luring a victim to browse to a malicious website, Microsoft said.
Weak encryption vulnerability fixed
The software maker issued an "important" update to its TLS cryptographic protocol. MS12-049 repairs an information disclosure vulnerability impacting HTTPS traffic. Microsoft said the browser is the primary attack vector. The encryption weakness makes it slightly less difficult for an attacker to crack the encryption algorithm, enabling cybercriminals to decrypt encrypted TLS traffic.
Microsoft also issued four other bulletins rated "important," addressing flaws in Visual Basic for Applications, Windows Kernel Mode Drivers, Windows Shell and Microsoft Office for Mac.
Microsoft extending automated digital certificate feature
Microsoft is extending its automated detection of fraudulent certificates. Digital certificates enable a system to validate the authenticity of the software. The update is in response to the Flame malware toolkit, which used fraudulent Microsoft certificates to spoof the Windows Update mechanism on Windows systems.
According to the security advisory issued today, the feature works on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 systems. It will be automatically applied to systems this month, enabling dynamic updates, allowing Windows clients to be updated with untrusted certificates once per day without requiring user interaction.
The update will also address software digital certificates that uses an outdated, weaker encryption algorithm. "On systems where this hardening package is installed, those certificates using the RSA algorithm with a key length less than 1024 bits will be treated as invalid, even if they are otherwise valid and signed by a trusted certificate authority," Microsoft said in its advisory.

From 1830 until the 1890s, already free and once captive Black people came together in state and national political meetings called "Colored Conventions." Before the War, they strategized about how to achieve educational, labor and legal justice at a moment when Black rights were constricting nationally and locally. After the War, their numbers swelled as they continued to mobilize to ensure that Black citizenship rights and safety, Black labor rights and land, Black education and institutions would be protected under the law.
The delegates to these meetings included the most well-known, if mostly male, writers, organizers, church leaders, newspaper editors, and entrepreneurs in the canon of early African-American leadership—and thousands whose names and histories have long been forgotten. What is left of this phenomenal effort are rare proceedings, newspaper coverage, and petitions that have never before been collected in one place.
This project seeks to not only learn about the lives of male delegates, the places where they met and the social networks that they created, but also to account for the crucial work done by Black women in the broader social networks that made these conventions possible.
ColoredConventions.org endeavors to transform teaching and learning about this historic collective organizing effort—and about the many leaders and places involved in it—bringing them to digital life for a new generation of students and scholars across disciplines and for community researchers interested in the history of activist church, civil rights, educational and entrepreneurial engagement.

TUTORIAL: Dewy Skin
Beauty Trend: A natural fresh glow for the complexion
From the catwalks at the international fashion shows to red carpet looks, the Korean trend "Dewy" is conquering the beauty world. "Dewy Skin" is usually created with liquid textures and ensures a fresh, slightly summery glow. The following steps show you how to achieve this subtle wet-look to give your skin a natural-looking glow:
Step 1
Create a shimmering, summery complexion
For a shimmering complexion, give the liquid Catrice Light Correcting Serum Primer a good shake and use the integrated pipette applicator to apply a drop of the primer under each eye like a tear. Blend underneath the eyes and on the cheeks with your finger. The Primer is suitable for every skin tone and applied pure, it offers a subtle golden shimmer.
Step 2
Give the skin a radiant glow
To enhance the glow effect, apply the Strobe to Glow Highlighter Stick 010 Tomorrowland White Gold in an arch from the cheekbones to the brows and carefully blend with your finger. Thanks to its easy handling, the Highlighter Stick is ideal for creating beautiful reflections of light.
Step 3
Accentuate the cheeks
Next, accentuate the cheeks with just a hint of colour: apply the Strobing Blush 020 Mrs. Rosalie Berry on the cheekbones with a brush and gently blend. The soft, powdery blush with perfectly aligned shades contains light-reflecting pigments to ensure a fresh look.
Step 4
Give the lips a touch of colour
Emphasize the lips with the bold colour of the Ultimate Matt Lippstick 050 Taupless in Love. Thanks to the intensive coverage and matt finish of the lipstick, you can create a gorgeous matt effect with just one application - without drying out the lips.
Step 5
Set shimmering highlights for statement lips
A shimmering accent offers the perfect finishing touch and ensures a unique statement look: using your finger, dab the Art Couleur Eyeshadow 060 Gold is what you came for on the upper lip - emphasize the cupid's bow of the lips and dab the texture slightly beyond the contours of the lips. The highly pigmented eye shadow offers a metallic, shimmering highlight effect to complete the look.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Brandeis University senior Alex Kramer (No. Andover, Mass./No. Andover) won his second University Athletic Association (UAA) title of 2013 today as he captured the 1,500-meter run at the Outdoor Track and Field championships hosted by NYU at Icahn Stadium in New York. Both the Brandeis men and women finished in seventh place as a team at the UAA championships.
Kramer, who won the mile run during the indoor season, captured the "metric mile" with a winning time of 3:56.34 seconds, just over a second faster than runner-up Stephen Ellwood of Emory. His time was about four seconds off his season- and lifetime best, set the previous week at Princeton University, and is currently ranked 13th in Division III. The Judges just missed a second All-UAA performance in the 1,500, as senior Mik Kern (Groton, N.Y./Groton) was fourth with a time of 3:57.74, a season-best in the event. Kern was 0.15 seconds out of third place and his second individual All-UAA honor of 2013.
The Judges also had three second-place finishes to claim All-Association honors. Junior Vincent Asante (Bronx, N.Y./High School for the Arts, Imagination and Inquiry) just missed his fourth career UAA title, placing second in the 100-meter dash. After running a time of 11.01 seconds in the prelims for the fourth-fastest time, he posted the same time in the finals, this time edging two competitors from Washington University by two- and three-hundredths of a second to claim runner-up status. Asante has won two 55-meter dash titles indoors – as a freshman and junior - and a 100 honor outdoors as a rookie.
Junior Amelia Lundkvist (So. Portland, Maine/Cheverus) turned in the best performance for the Brandeis women, coming in second in the 1,500-meter run. Her time of 4:37.87 was two seconds out of the championship but more than half a second ahead of third place. It was the 29th-fastest time in Division III this year, with Emily Cousens of NYU turning the 19th-fastest time to win.
The Judges' final All-Association performance came in the men's 4x800-meter relay. Kern and Kramer ran the opening and third legs, respectively, and were joined by sophomore Michael Rosenbach (Tampa, Fla./Berkeley Prep) and rookie Grady Ward (Essex Junction, Vt./Essex) as they finished with a time of 7:48.47, about 2.5 seconds out of the top spot on the podium. Both Kern and Kramer earned their second relay All-UAA honor, having placed third in the distance medley indoors.
Brandeis's other top scorers were a pair of fifth-place performances. Junior Ed Colvin (Roslindale, Mass./Catholic Memorial School) came in fifth in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 14:53.14, while rookie Adam Berger (Concord, N.H./Concord) was fifth in the triple jump with a distance of 12.89 meters (42 feet, 3.5 inches).
The Brandeis women had two sixth-place finishes in senior Kim Farrington (Shirley, Mass./Ayer) in the triple jump with a distance of 10.75 meters (35 feet, 3.25 inches) and sophomore Alyssa Fenenbock (Upper Saddle River, N.J./Northern Highlands Regional) in the javelin throw with a heave of 30.49 meters (100 feet even).
Rounding out the scorers for the Judges were senior Casey McGown (Clinton, Mass./Clinton), who was seventh in the women's 200-meter dash with a time of 1:00.95; junior Victoria Sanford (Lagrangeville, N.Y./Arlington) who was eighth in the 1,500-meters in 4:44.86; and the men's javelin duo of sophomores Jonathan Gilman (Yardley, Pa./George School) and Jacob Wilhoite (Santa Barbara, Calif./Santa Barbara), who were seventh and eighth, respectively with throws of 47.97 and 47.16 meters (157-4 and 154-8).
Brandeis is back in action next weekend at the New England Division III championships at Colby College.

News Roundup: "The Disease Next Door" and other Global Health Stories
Today, Sabin President Dr. Peter Hotez contributed a story to Foreign Policy about how little known neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are wreaking havoc in some of the world's wealthiest nations.
For example, he writes:
More than two-thirds of the reported cases of visceral leishmaniasis, which causes a leukemia-like chronic illness, are found in G-20 countries, led by India, Brazil, China, and Italy. Similarly, 60 percent of those who require treatment for lymphatic filariasis, responsible for elephantiasis, live in India, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Brazil; while more than 70 percent of food-borne trematode infections, which cause liver cancer and severe lung disease, are found in China, South Korea, and Russia...
...Much of the disease burden within G-20 countries falls on the poor in Indonesia and the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), but there are also several serious NTDs found in Eastern and Southern Europe, and in the southern United States, including Chagas disease (heart disease), cysticercosis (seizures and other neurologic illness), and dengue (breakbone fever).

Leonardo DiCaprio may be a serious actor by day, but by night, he's watching MTV's "Jersey Shore" on TiVo.
"It's a funny show!" Leo told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush at the junket for his latest film, "Shutter Island," on Friday. "You gotta admit it."
"Jersey Shore's" DJ Pauly D previously told Access that he recently ran into the Hollywood star, a meeting that Leo confirmed.
"They came up and said hello and I shouted some of the lines to them," Leo said.
As for Leo's own lines, he said that playing the part of Frank Sinatra in director Martin Scorsese's potential film is still up in the air.
"I don't even know if that movie's happening," the star told Billy. "He doesn't need to convince me about anything, usually when that guy calls, before the end of the conversation, you want to have 'Yes' come out of your mouth. Any sort of journey he wants to go on, I'm happy to go with him… [but] the movie's not going as of yet."
If he did take on the role of Old Blue Eyes, Scorsese told Billy on Friday that Sinatra's vocals – not an actor's – would be used during the musical performances.
But Leo joked he had an interest in testing out his own golden pipes.
"I always thought that I had the voice to match," Leo smiled. "Hopefully something happens with it either way — whether I was in it or not, I'd love to see that movie."
Audiences can count on seeing Leo and Scorsese teaming up once more on "Shutter Island," due February 19, and the actor said that after four films together, the director's habits have rubbed off on him.
"Do you obsess as much as he does?" Billy asked.
"I do, definitely," Leo said. "The mantra for me is, pain is temporary, film is forever. So you better give everything you possibly can when you're on set that day or you'll have regrets."
And while Leo has become Scorsese's leading man lately, he added that Robert De Niro – who starred in such Scorsese classics as "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull" may join the duo for another movie in development.
"There is a project that [Scorsese's] been working on [with De Niro] that I haven't seen much from." Leo said. "I did my first movie ['This Boy's Life'] with Robert De Niro and that's what got me into this wacky world. So I'm indebted to him as an actor. It would be amazing, it really would."

The Horrorible Life Of A Hollywood Stunt Performer
Fans of the 1980s action TV series, "The Fall Guy," are likely familiar with the hard-luck life of the average Hollywood stunt performer. Only a relative few can eke out a living from their chosen profession, and instead rely on odd jobs to survive.
Kane Hodder (pictured at left) is well acquainted with the plight of stunt performers. Though he has worked steadily for most of the more than 30 years he's been in the business, the first few years, he'll tell you, were pretty lean. "I starved for 8 years ... because I didn't work enough," Hodder tells AOL Jobs in an interview.
Fans of the "Friday the 13th" horror-movie franchise may recognize Hodder for his portrayals of bloodthirsty antagonist Jason Vorhees in four of the slasher films.
"I have a name in horror," the 56-year-old actor says.
That reputation has helped Hodder transition smoothly from stunt performer to character actor at a time in life when many people begin to feel the wear and tear that decades of living can take on the human body.
"One thing I've noticed after 35 years of hitting the ground, my knees are pretty bad," he says. "I'm not as mobile as I once was." It limits some of the stunts he can do, says Hodder, who talks about his Hollywood career and life in a new book, called "Unmasked."
The title, of course, is a reference to the hockey mask that Jason wears in most of the "Friday the 13th" movies, which prevents audiences from getting a glimpse of the actor portraying the villain. But the title also refers to experiences in Hodder's life that heretofore were unknown to anyone else -- even his wife and two sons.
In his book, Hodder talks about everything in his life -- "good and bad -- and there's plenty of bad to go along with the good," he says. In doing so, "nobody can say that the book doesn't have heart." (Hodder's biography is written by Michael Aloisi, an author of several books, including thrillers and horror stories.)
Among the more personal details Hodder discusses is the "severe bullying" he endured for two years beginning at age 10 and a stunt that went awry very early in his career, requiring months of hospitalization and leaving Hodder with burn scars on half his body.
It was a horrible psychological setback after it first happened, he says. "It's a horrible injury to go through." What's more, after he left the hospital and the pain subsided, Hodder realized that the scars would be with him for the rest of his life.
"That's hard to deal with at 22, as I was," says Hodder, who devotes some of his time to visiting with juvenile burn victims to show them there is life after such a tragedy.
Though the scars prevented him from getting work in TV commercials, Hodder has been able to use them to enhance bad-guy roles. "I have no problem doing that," he says.
Hodder was inspired to tell his story after reading those of other actors. But he wanted to go beyond a mere memoir of his Hollywood experiences.
"So many times I'll read an actor's biography and all it tells about is his career, and I was always frustrated by that," Hodder says, adding that he wanted to hear more about the authors' personal lives.
Hodder also says that he wrote the book in part because "after 35 years in the business, I have a lot of funny, crazy stories from the set."
Those include the time that Hodder was on the set of "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan." In a scene shot in Times Square in which the Jason character encounters several tough kids carrying a boom box. The script called for Hodder to kick the boom box to "smithereens." In the first take, however, Hodder tripped over the radio and fell "right on my ass," he says.
The embarrassing incident made Hodder mad. "Some bystanders were chuckling until I gave them the long Jason death stare," he says. "Surprisingly, they shut up after that."
Hodder got his start in stunt work during a break from college in the mid-1970s when he attended the University of Nevada, Reno. During a tour of Universal Studios in Hollywood, the young Hodder caught a Wild West stunt show and was immediately hooked.
"I said [to myself], 'Wait a minute, this is something that I would love to do,' " Hodder says, adding that much of what he saw mimicked many of the crazy things he used to do in high school to entertain himself and his friends. But in Hollywood, he realized, people were getting paid "quite well" to do it.
During summer break from his college studies, Hodder enrolled in a stunt school in Santa Monica, Calif. He loved it so much, he says, that he decided not to return to college.
His first job was on the 1970s TV medical drama "Emergency!" After working just two days on the set, he knew that he had made the right career choice.
"When it was over, I didn't want to leave," he says. "It just felt so right to me -- like I belonged there."
For those interested in a career in stunts, Hodder says to be prepared for a long slog. "It takes years to get to the point of working [steadily]," he says, although those with family or friends already in the business might find an easier route.
"It's a fantastic profession and a great career to have," he says, "if you're patient."

Arkadiy Turevskiy, MathWorks
Design a PID controller for a DC motor modeled in Simulink®. Create a closed-loop system by using the PID Controller block, then tune the gains of PID Controller block using the PID Tuner.
In this demonstration you will see how to quickly tune a PID controller for a plant modeled in Simulink.
In this particular case we modeled a DC motor.
In this block dialog you see the parameters that define the behavior of the motor: damping, inertia, back EMF, resistance and inductance. Looking under block mask we see Simscape and SimElectronics blocks we used to model the motor.
We will now design a digital control system that will control the rotation speed of the motor shaft. The controller will calculate the error signal between the desired speed and the measured speed and use this error signal to calculate the voltage request to command to the motor. Notice that we are modeling sensor noise in the measurement channel and because our control system is digital we are also modeling an A/D converter with a sampling time of 0.02 seconds using a Zero Order Hold block.
We now need to add the compensator. To do that we go to the Simulink library browser, Discrete sub-library, take the Discrete PID Controller block and add it to our model. Let's now connect this block to the rest of our model and open the block dialog. Here we can specify the type of controller we want to use: PID, PI, PD, Proportional, or simply Integral. We will stay with PID.
We can specify the sampling time, in this case we'll use the same one as we used in our A/D converter. And if we know the gains of the PID controller, we can type them in here. In this case we don't know what the gains should be yet, so let's apply the sampling time changes and try running the simulation with default gain values. Let's also add voltage to our scope.
Running the simulation, we see that our control system is not doing all that well. Blue line shows the desired speed, and red line shows the actual measured speed. As we see, our control system is not tracking very well. Let's try to improve that performance. To do that we'll go back to the block dialog and press the "Tune" button. This launches PID Tuner which linearizes the plant, calculates PID gains and opens the graphical user interface.
In the graphical user interface we see two lines: dashed line shows the closed loop step response of our system for the current gain values and solid line shows the same response for calculated gain values.
So let's simply accept the gains tool calculated for us. When we do that we see that all block parameters, PID gains, get updated. Let's press "OK", go back to our simulation and rerun it. As we see, we indeed improved the performance of our control system. It is now tracking very well. With zero steady state error, it's relatively fast and has relatively little overshoot.
If we want to improve the performance of our control system, we can come back to the PID Tuner graphical user interface and for example try to make the overshoot a little lower if we want that, or if we want faster response we could try to use a slider here to move it to the right to make the system response faster. For example, let's try this design. We now go back to our model and rerun the simulation with this design.
We see that we indeed get much faster response but at the expense of much noisier and much higher voltage request signal so we are probably sacrificing actuator life to achieve this faster response. Now this is the trade-off you can decide on as an engineer, but you now have this tool at your disposal that lets you quickly design and tune PID controllers for plants modeled in Simulink.
This concludes the demo.

There's this funny beer style--actually, I'm not prepared to acknowledge that it is a style--called "pre-prohibition lager." I have no data, but it has the aroma of a "style" that was probably a broad and changing spectrum of different examples brewed in different places at different times. But through the inevitable process of calcification, it has come to stand for this wide rane. Or I could be wrong--but a fifteen-minute spin around the intertubes doesn't dissuade me.
The key features of this style, such as it is now retrospectively characterized, are the use of corn (apparently rice is a permissible, but less-tasty, variant) and pretty assertive hopping. The sources I've seen suggest noble hops would have been used, but this seems the weakest of the contentions--it was more an assumption than a finding. (As always, folks like Bill Schneller can weigh in to correct gross errors on my part. We're all used to gross errors on my part.)
Whatever the historical precedent, though, this is a very good description of Fort George's 1811 Lager, which I tried for the first time on Tuesday. If you want to immediately predispose your customers against your beer, here are two suggestions: 1) brew a lager; 2) add corn. Cardinal sins!
I hope customers are so mesmerized by the shiny blue cans that they ignore the prominent word "lager" and don't read blogs like this. Because, if they manage to get the beer into their glass, they're in for a treat. Despite people's expectations about canned lager, this is quite a lively and assertive beer. I'm not sure what the hops are, but noble sounds about right--or maybe Sterlings or a mixture of nobles and bastard American varieties like Mt. Hood. In any case, it's zesty and spicy, but buoyed by a lovely, summery sweetness. As is de rigueur for an Oregon beer (nod to Stan Hieronymus), it is as cloudy as November Portland skies. And, although it is packed with flavor, the volume doesn't blast at IPA levels, so it has that moreishness you want from a summer tipple. Great beer.
There are far too few crisp, hoppy lagers in this town, and I am delighted to learn that Fort George has added another--"pre-prohibition" or not.
Update. Two tweets from the brewery, which I'll post in order so you can see that my own failures of fact are not entirely unprecedented.

@Beervana Thanks for the good word! BTW - The hops used are Galena and Czech Saaz.

Hyundai's Mistra concept midsize sedan making its debut at the Shanghai auto show this week is a precursor to an all-new model for the Chinese market that will go into serial production there later this year.
The Mistra measures 186 ins. (472 cm) long, 72 ins. (182 cm) wide and 58 ins. (147 cm) high.
A Hyundai spokesman declines to disclose what engines and transmissions will be offered in the production vehicle, but says the concept reveals the car's "understated sporty" design.
The Mistra's name in Chinese is Mingtu, which means integrity and quality, and the new vehicle targets young urban dwellers, he says.
The concept sedan features a wide front grille and air intake, long hood and oversize rear bumper that is preferred by Chinese buyers and 19-in. aluminum-alloy wheels. The exterior is finished in an elegant jade green, called "Frost Jade" meant to entice younger consumers.
The vehicle was designed and developed jointly by the Hyundai's research and development center in Namyang, South Korea, and the Beijing Hyundai technical center in China.
The new entry will be positioned in the Chinese market between the Hyundai Sonata and Elantra. It embodies Chinese customer preferences based on extensive market research throughout the development process, Hyundai says.
"Hyundai has achieved remarkable growth in the past decade, in line with the Chinese auto market's rapid growth," Sung Kee Choi, president of Beijing Hyundai said when the concept vehicle was unveiled at the auto show over the weekend.

Prouty named MLBPA general counsel
Former chief legal counsel replaces executive director Weiner
Prouty, 54, joined the MLBPA in 2008 after 22 years at UNITE HERE, an international union representing clothing, textile, laundry, hotel and restaurant workers, where he had served as general counsel since 2001. He is a graduate of Bowdoin College and Harvard Law School.
Prouty becomes just the fourth individual to hold the post of MLBPA general counsel in the 47-year history of the Union. (MLBPA general counsels: Richard Moss, 1966-77; Donald Fehr, 1977-2004; Michael Weiner, 2004-13)
"I am confident that Dave will excel in his new role and that the players will continue to receive the high level of legal representation they have come to expect from their union," said Weiner. "The experience gained while serving as general counsel for UNITE HERE prior to joining the MLBPA will serve Dave well in his new role."
"I am honored by the opportunity to serve the MLBPA membership as their general counsel," said Prouty. "It's quite a privilege to follow in the footsteps of Dick Moss, Don Fehr and Michael Weiner, and quite a challenge to strive to uphold the legacy of Marvin Miller and this great union. I look forward to doing my best to assist the players in the manner set forth by these impressive men."

Apparently, Scott Disick didn't put a ring on it just yet.
A rep for Kourtney Kardashian has denied a report by Life & Style magazine stating that the 31-year-old reality star is engaged, telling Access Hollywood on Wednesday that the story is "not true."

The mag also claims Scott's proposal to the eldest Kardashian sister (and his baby mama) will be featured on the season finale of Kourtney's latest E! reality show, "Kourtney & Kim Take New York."
However, a publicist for the show also told Access the story is "not true" on Wednesday.

Additionally, Kourtney took to Twitter to combat the story, Tweeting, "WOW!! Where do the mags come up with this stuff? And claiming exclusives? Come on now."
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian announced they had landed yet another reality show in October — this time they're taking a bite out of The Big Apple.
The new series, which also features sister Khloe, follow the siblings (and Kourtney's boyfriend Scott Disick) as they navigate life in the big city and bring their clothing store, Dash, to the nation's fashion capital.

Newly single Kim is also looking for romance on the new series and, according to the network, is "optimistic at the prospects of finding lasting love" in NYC.
"Kourtney and Kim Take New York" airs on Sundays at 10 PM on E!.

Captain Antilles disappoints me. I remember when some other site (MouseDroid, maybe?) had the preliminary photo of him back in April and someone noted the lack of articulation and that it might be better once we got the final release version. Too bad it doesn't look like that is going to be the case. Edited TextSix figures that aren't bad (although Antilles could definitely have been better), so here's hoping we can find them!

I give up; the spammers have won.
Forum members have received large amounts of personal messages in recent days, all of which were sent by spammers in the attempt to trick members into visiting questionable websites.
I've worked hard to stop this bad behaviour, but all my attempts have not been sufficiently effective. I've failed to protect you --my forum members-- from bad stuff, and for that I deeply and humbly apologize.
As a final measure to regain peace and sanity, I've now completely turned off the capability to send personal messages between forum members.
The sad consequence of this means that innocent forum members are punished as well; we can no longer send messages to each through the forum. The only way to discuss, now, is to post publicly in the forum, or to send personal e-mail if the address of the recipient is known. I'm aware that this is a severe limitation, and I regret that no better solution can be found.
You're most welcome to reply to this post; I will take all your comments to heart. You can also reach me by e-mail on the address:

Last week, on December 12, 2012, Laura Sorvetti and I went to San Francisco to join the Book Club of California in celebrating 100 years. Since its founding in 1912 the Book Club of California (BCC) has printed fine editions focusing on California history and literature. It was started by a group of book collectors, sellers, scholars, writers, printers and entrepreneurs. It was a fun field trip!
Laura recently joined The Book Club of California; first as a member, then as a director on the board. She said that for a long time she had admired the organization from afar, but then after working with Catherine Trujillo on the Pressing Forward exhibit last spring, she was ready to jump right in and get involved. Laura said, "The first time I visited the club rooms on Sutter Street and met many of the gracious and passionate members, I couldn't express how excited I was: "I found printing-book people like me!""
The celebration was held in the Julia Morgan Ballroom at the Merchants Exchange Building. Many were dressed in period garb. I loved looking out at the sea of hats and imagining that I was visiting another era, an era when they served poached celery as an appetizer…
Here's more from Laura:
Any Californian who makes it to their 100th birthday is in pretty good shape. The Book Club, on their hundredth-year birthday, is still remarkably young, and it is the members who maintain that youthful and passionate character. Even at the centennial luncheon, a time for reflection and maybe a pat on the back for making it this far, the invited speakers were already planning for the next hundred years. While they acknowledged the importance of continuing the traditions of The Book Club, they are considering how we can gracefully move into the 21st century future, participating in the continued history of the book & fine printing in California. Smart move, sustainably speaking. I am looking forward to contributing to the next century's work.
And just think: in another hundred years they'll be telling the story of our historic luncheon.
As part of the centennial celebration, Kennedy Library hosted an exhibit about the BCC called Pressing Forward. You can learn more about opening reception — Tom Killion talking about his woodcut process, Erin Zamrzla showing us how to make handmade books — in an earlier post.

Astros sign first-overall Draft pick RHP Mark Appel
Introduced today at Minute Maid Park press conference
HOUSTON, TX - The Houston Astros today announced the signing of right-handed pitcher Mark Appel, who was selected with the first overall pick in the 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The official announcement was made by Astros Director of Amateur Scouting Mike Elias.
Appel was introduced today at a press conference at Minute Maid Park and later dressed and took the field during batting practice with the Astros Major League club.
Appel, 21, went 10-4 with four complete games and a 2.12 ERA (25ER/106.1IP) as a senior this season at Stanford University. He recorded 130 strikeouts in his 106.1 innings pitched and allowed just a .203 opponent's batting average. Appel is one of just 10 semifinalists for the National Pitcher of the Year Award as named by the College Baseball Hall of Fame.
"Drafting and signing Mark Appel was a top priority for our organization this year," Luhnow said. " We are an organization focused on winning championships in the future and we expect Mark to be a big part of that effort."
Appel finished his Stanford career as the program's all-time strikeout leader and his 372 career strikeouts rank second among active NCAA hurlers. The Pac-12 Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year this season is sixth in program history with 28 career wins and fourth with 377.2 innings pitched.
Appel grew up an Astros fan in West Houston before moving to California at the age of 12. He played his youth ball at the Post Oak Little League and attended Astros games at the Astrodome and Minute Maid Park. Most of Appel's extended family lives in the Houston-area, including his parents.
Appel becomes the third right-handed pitcher selected first overall in the draft in the last five years, joining Gerrit Cole (2011-PIT) and Stephen Strasburg (2009-WSH). He is also the third right-handed pitcher taken by Houston in the first round in the last five years, a list that also includes Lance McCullers (2012-supplemental) and Mike Foltynewicz (2010).
"Mark has been one of the premier talents in college baseball for the past few years, and he cemented that status this spring with his best season yet," Elias said. "He possesses a bulldog mentality, an ideal pitcher's frame, an elite track record, and he commands three plus pitches - everything we look for in a pitcher. We feel the potential is there for him to become a mainstay at the very forefront of our rotation for a long time."
The Astros have signed 23 of their 40 draft picks this season, including seven of their top 10.

I have installed 12.1. (I had been running KDE 4.6.5 in 11.4.) When I opened Kontact I agreed to let it migrate the mail but 'Migration to KMail 2 failed. In case you want to try again, run 'kmail-migrator --interactive' manually.'
So I ran 'kmail-migrator --interactive' with this resultWhenever I tried to open Kontact I encountered this error message: 'KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. Failed to fetch the resource collection.'Code:kmail-migrator(6725) main: Migration of kmailrc has already run, not running it again
I have uninstalled Kontact and rebooted and installed it again. Same errors. I can see no entries in the calendar or addressbook or mail parts of Kontact.
Opening kmail2 from the command line gives this message:
I tried some workarounds for this error which I found by googling:Code:kmail2(6653)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsRequestJobPrivate::resourceScanResult: Failed to request resource "akonadi_maildir_resource_0" : "Unknown error. (Failed to fetch the resource collection.)"
creating an empty folder ~/Maildir
moving ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail
but still the same 'Failed to fetch the resource collection' error.
Would really appreciate some help.
