SEC542: Web App Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking
Mon, April 7 - Sat, April 12, 2014
As a non-penetration tester, I found SEC542 very informative and useful. The exercises proved invaluable to illustrating the topics.
As a research analyst, SEC542's 'attacker perspective' is helpful in understanding what we are up against.
Assess Your Web Apps in Depth
Web applications are a major point of vulnerability in organizations today. Web app holes have resulted in the theft of millions of credit cards, major financial and reputational damage for hundreds of enterprises, and even the compromise of thousands of browsing machines that visited Web sites altered by attackers. In this intermediate to advanced level class, you'll learn the art of exploiting Web applications so you can find flaws in your enterprise's Web apps before the bad guys do. Through detailed, hands-on exercises and training from a seasoned professional, you will be taught the four-step process for Web application penetration testing. You will inject SQL into back-end databases, learning how attackers exfiltrate sensitive data. You will utilize cross-site scripting attacks to dominate a target infrastructure in our unique hands-on laboratory environment. And you will explore various other Web app vulnerabilities in-depth with tried-and-true techniques for finding them using a structured testing regimen. You will learn the tools and methods of the attacker, so that you can be a powerful defender.
On day one, we will study the attacker's view of the Web as well as learn an attack methodology and how the pen-tester uses JavaScript within the test. On day two, we will study the art of reconnaissance, specifically targeted to Web applications. We will also examine the mapping phase as we interact with a real application to determine its internal structure. During day three we will continue our test by starting the discovery phase using the information we gathered on day two. We will focus on application/server-side discovery. On day four we will continue discovery, focusing on client-side portions of the application, such as Flash objects and Java applets. On day five, we will move into the final stage of exploitation. Students will use advanced exploitation methods to gain further access within the application. Day six will be a Capture the Flag event where the students will be able to use the methodology and techniques explored during class to find and exploit the vulnerabilities within an intranet site.
Throughout the class, you will learn the context behind the attacks so that you intuitively understand the real-life applications of our exploitation. In the end, you will be able to assess your own organization's Web applications to find some of the most common and damaging Web application vulnerabilities today.
By knowing your enemy, you can defeat your enemy. General security practitioners, as well as Web site designers, architects, and developers, will benefit from learning the practical art of Web application penetration testing in this class.
Course Syllabus
SEC542.1: Web App Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking: The Attacker's View of the Web
Seth Misenar
Mon Apr 7th, 2014
Understanding the attacker's perspective is key to successful Web application penetration testing. We will begin by thoroughly examining Web technology, including protocols, languages, clients, and server architectures, from the attacker's perspective. In this portion of the class we will also examine different authentication systems, including Basic, Digest, Forms, and Windows Integrated authentication, and discuss how servers use them and how attackers abuse them.
Following this, we will discuss the four steps that make up our process for conducting Web application penetration tests: reconnaissance, mapping, discovery and exploitation. During the next few days, we will delve into each of these steps more deeply. For the first day, we will review the fundamental principles of each phase and discuss how we will use them together as a cyclical attack process. Next, we will cover the types of penetration testing and what pieces need to be part of the report. As the final part of the day, we will explore and learn JavaScript from an attacker's perspective.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
- Overview of the Web from a penetration tester's perspective
- Exploring the various servers and clients
- Discussion of the various Web architectures
- Discover how session state works
- Discussion of the different types of vulnerabilities

SEC542.2: Web Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking: Reconnaissance and Mapping
Seth Misenar
Tue Apr 8th, 2014
On the second day we will start the actual penetration testing process, beginning with the reconnaissance and mapping phases. Reconnaissance includes gathering publicly available information regarding the target application and organization, identifying the machines which support our target application, and building a profile of each server, including operating system, specific software, and configuration. Our discussion will be augmented by practical, hands-on exercises in which we conduct reconnaissance against an in-class target.
In the mapping phase, we will build a "map" or diagram of the application. In order to do this, we identify the components, analyze the relationship between them, and determine how the pieces work together. We will specifically consider how the session management system works within an application. This will help us identify potential vulnerabilities during the next sections.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
- Discover the infrastructure within the application
- Identify the machines and operating systems
- SSL configurations and weaknesses
- Explore virtual hosting and its impact on testing
- Learn methods to identify load balancers
- Software configuration discovery
- Explore external information sources
- Google hacking
- Learn tools to spider a Web site
- Scripting to automate Web requests and spidering
- Application flow charting
- Relationship analysis within an application
- JavaScript for the attacker
SEC542.3: Web Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking: Discovery
Seth Misenar
Wed Apr 9th, 2014
In this section, we will continue to explore our methodology with the discovery phase. We will build upon the information started yesterday, exploring methods to find and verify vulnerabilities within the application. The students will also begin to explore the interactions between the various vulnerabilities.
Manual testing techniques for vulnerability discovery will be the primary approach taken in Day 3. To facilitate manual testing, we kick off the day with an introduction and hands-on exercise with Python.
In addition to custom scripts, major emphasis will be placed on developing in-depth knowledge of interception proxies for web application vulnerability discovery. A highlight of the day will be spending significant time working with both traditional and blind SQL Injection flaws.
Throughout the discovery phase, we will explore both manual and automated methods of discovering vulnerabilities within applications and discuss the circumstances under which each is appropriate.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
- Vulnerability Discovery Overview
- Creating Custom Scripts for Penetration Testing
- Python for Penetration Testing
- Web App Vulnerabilities and Manual Verification Techniques
- Interception Proxies
- Fiddler
- OWASP Zed Attack Proxy
- Burp Suite
- Information Leakage & Directory Browsing
- Username Harvesting
- Command Injection
- Directory Traversal
- SQL Injection
- Blind SQL Injection
SEC542.4: Web Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking: Discovery Continued
Seth Misenar
Thu Apr 10th, 2014
On day four, students will continue exploring the discovery phase of the methodology. We will cover methods to discover key vulnerabilities within web applications such as Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Site Request Forgery. Manual discovery methods will be employed during hands-on exercises.
The day's content will also include a detailed discussion of AJAX in which we will explore how AJAX enlarges the attack surface that penetration testers leverage. We will also explore how AJAX is affected by the vulnerabilities already explored.
After detailing the various vulnerabilities and manual discovery methods, Day 4 will conclude with review of various automated web application vulnerability scanners, such as Skipfish and w3af, to complement our previous coverage of the Burp Suite.
By the end of Day 4, students will be well prepared to move into the exploitation phase of the methodology on Day 5.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
- Cross-Site Scripting Discovery
- Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
- Session Flaws
- Session Fixation
- Logic Attacks
- API Attacks
- Data Binding Attacks
- RatProxy
- Automated Web Application Scanners
- SkipFish
- w3af
SEC542.5: Web Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking: Exploitation
Seth Misenar
Fri Apr 11th, 2014
On the fifth day we will launch actual exploits against real-world applications. In this component, we will build upon the previous three steps, expanding our foothold within the application and extending that to the network on which it resides. As penetration testers, we will specifically focus on ways that we can leverage previously discovered vulnerabilities to gain further access, highlighting the cyclical nature of our four-step attack methodology.
During our exploitation, we will use tools such as the Burp Suite and Paros Proxy to assist us in crafting exploits against real-world applications like Wordpress and AWStats. We will launch an SQL injection attack against Wordpress, intercepting real transactions and modifying them. We will use Cross-Site Scripting attacks against phpMyAdmin and phpBB to steal cookies and sessions from other users.
We are also going to explore the use of attack frameworks, such as AttackAPI and BeEF. We will discuss how the frameworks can assist us in our testing process, gaining access to browser history, port scanning internal networks, and searching for other vulnerable Web applications through zombie browsers.
We will also explore multiple exploit attacks. This is where the student will build complex attack series to gain much greater access within the Web applications. By fully uncovering vulnerabilities within applications using the same resources as attackers, we can provide organizations with the best assessment possible.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
- Explore methods to zombify browsers
- Discuss using zombies to port scan or attack internal networks
- Explore attack frameworks
- AttackAPI
- BeEF
- XSS-Proxy
- Walk through an entire attack scenario
- Exploit the various vulnerabilities discovered
- Leverage the attacks to gain access to the system
- Learn how to pivot our attacks through a Web application
- Understand methods of interacting with a server through SQL injection
- Exploit applications to steal cookies
- Execute commands through Web application vulnerabilities
SEC542.6: Web Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking: Capture the Flag
Seth Misenar
Sat Apr 12th, 2014
During day six of the class students will be placed on a network and given the opportunity to complete an entire penetration test. The goal of this capture the flag event is for the students to explore the techniques, tools, and methodology they have learned over the last five days. They will be able to use these ideas and methods against a realistic intranet application. At the end of the day, they will provide a verbal report of the findings and methodology they followed to complete the test.
Students will be provided with a virtual machine that contains the SamuraiWTF Web penetration testing environment. They will be able to use this both in the class and after leaving and returning to their normal jobs.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6

Author Statement
"Testing the security of Web applications is not as simple as just knowing what SQL injection and cross-site scripting mean. Successful testers understand that methodical, thorough testing is the best means of finding the vulnerabilities within the applications. This requires a deep understanding of how Web applications work and what attack vectors are available. This course provides that understanding by examining the various parts of a Web application penetration. When teaching the class, I especially enjoy the use of real-world exercises and the in-depth exploration of Web penetration testing."

10 of Our Favorite Toys From The '50s… I Wish I Still Had #6!
We LOVED our toys in the 1950s. Some of them may have been pretty simple, but we certainly loved them. Sometimes we wonder if kids these days would appreciate them as much as we did, but we're always happy to find that some of them work just as well today as they did decades ago. We wanted to put together a list of our 10 favorite toys from the 1950s. Take a look at the list below, and let us know what you're favorite toy was as a kid!
#1 Lock & Key Skates
We'll admit that these were a bit more difficult than modern skates, but once you got the hang of them, you could really move! And how fun was it after you did? Enough that they made a song about it! Here's how it went:
I got a brand new pair of roller skates,
You got a brand new key.
I think that we should get together and try them out, to see …
#2 Original Yahtzee
This classic, family-friendly dice game came out in the late 40's, but didn't see much action until 1956 when game developer Edwin Lowe began marketing it across the U.S. Milton Bradley purchased the game and rights to market it in 1973, which brought it in to modern times. Did you play as a kid? We LOVED yelling YAHTZEE!!!

The business aspect of data storage security
Storage professionals are finally beginning to pay attention to security, but they need to consider risk from a business perspective and include people, processes and technologies in their assessments.
But now the phone is ringing off the hook. Users want to know what they should do first, while vendors are assessing how much security is needed in their products and when. This is a huge and very encouraging change, but storage security is a subset of a bigger topic: storage risk management.
I recently had the opportunity to discuss risk management with three storage security services firms: Computer Associates, GlassHouse Technologies and Kasten Chase. Each of these firms offers risk and gap analysis assessments that define problems; measures performance against industry standards like IT Infrastructure Library/IT Service Management (ITIL/ITSM), Committee of Sponsoring Organizations/Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COSO/COBIT), or ISO 17799; and recommends remediation activities to address deficiencies and decrease overall storage risk.
These meetings were eye-openers to say the least. I heard horror stories, as well as a number of common mistakes worth detailing here. Before I do that, however, let me clarify what I mean by risk management as it relates to storage activities and infrastructure.
There's probably an official classification of risk, but to me storage risks can be defined as the following:
- An event or process that can lead to or extend storage downtime
- An event or process that can lead to data corruption or theft
Subtle DR issues lurk around every corner
To meet recovery point objectives and recovery time objectives, strong DR practices depend on meticulous attention to detail. Services professionals I spoke with pointed to the following common areas where this discipline is lacking:
- DR sites are often too close together. I heard several stories of large companies with DR facilities a few miles from production data centers. This model usually had historical roots to when a "disaster" equated to a hard disk crash.
Back in the good old days, you could put your storage professionals in a car and drive them across town to grab some backup tapes. Unfortunately, today's disasters aren't as quaint. Storage professionals need to think in terms of events like Sept. 11 and Hurricane Katrina. Geographic separation is important when an entire area is out of commission and employees are too busy protecting their families to show up for work. This is such an important detail that the SEC once suggested (and nearly mandated) that DR facilities should be located hundreds of miles apart. If your DR facility is a short drive away, you'd better find a more distant location, pronto.
- DR is built around systems not business applications. Storage professionals are trained to ensure that data is available, but raw data isn't very useful without the applications that turn ones and zeros into business processes. To obviate this problem, storage professionals need to map data, files and LUNs to applications to understand data value and properly plan recovery, and then work with IT to establish a map of application interdependencies. This will help to ascertain the data's value and set the process for seamless recovery.
- Testing is too high level. This results from an IT- and storage-centric perspective. I heard numerous stories about how storage professionals did regular DR testing of their storage and system infrastructure, but not all the way up to the application layer. Restoring business applications is certainly a harder task, but ask yourself this question: "Does anything else really matter?"
To me, the downside to the ever-lower price of magnetic disk is the challenge of managing data. Service professionals I spoke with reported that most people have a very limited knowledge about what they have stored and where it lives. Common scenarios include:
- Loads of garbage. I heard identical stories from two different service providers after each one performed a storage assessment to determine the actual content being stored on an enterprise-class storage system. One found an IT administrator's complete music library, while the other found a terabyte of porn. To some extent this waste is understandable as it costs more to police disk utilization and content than it does to just let it go. Nevertheless, an employee's private terabyte directory is a bit excessive. This is especially true when it contains offensive material that could lead to legal trouble. Companies should adopt acceptable-use policies with strict penalties, but the storage team is a last line of defense. Audit storage content on a regular basis to avoid legal problems and unnecessary capital spending.
- Confidential data proliferation is out of control. Many storage professionals have no clue as to how many copies of confidential data exist across the enterprise. One service company told me of an incident where they showed a distraught storage executive 12 copies of the payroll file. To be fair, this isn't solely a storage problem--it's chock full of user access, data replication and privacy policy issues. Nevertheless, the storage team needs to be a part of the solution by proactively monitoring data movement and embracing information lifecycle management tools as they become available.
Processes remain informal
Government regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley and industry mandates like the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard demand defined and auditable controls, but many storage groups just aren't there yet. My meetings revealed that many organizations suffer from the following:
- Willy-nilly processes that depend on individuals (The IT hero syndrome). One or two people on the storage team are considered gurus and they're the firefighters who put out the flames. The problem is that critical data availability depends upon individuals, not documented and repeatable processes. This places the whole organization at risk when the storage superhero is out sick or on vacation. Storage executives should institute formal standard operating procedures and document everything.
- Lax day-to-day operations. When it's time to do a big storage consolidation project, storage professionals tend to be extremely meticulous at managing the details. But this care goes out the window during the daily grind. Storage administrators often make undocumented changes on the fly--behavior that can be the equivalent of a ticking time bomb. When something finally breaks, there's no information documenting technical changes or administrative access. A relatively minor hiccup can become a major headache without this audit trail.
- Fuzzy lines of delineation. The handoff between storage groups and other IT teams is a frequent grey area. The lack of clearly defined responsibilities leads to two untenable consequences: either too many people are involved in redundant activities or critical tasks remain undone as each group assumes that it's the other person's job. Formal processes can help, but strong management, cooperation and communication are also needed.
Bottom line
To paraphrase an old security saying, "The risk management chain is only as strong as its weakest link." You can spend gobs of money, create volumes of documents and hire the best minds in the business, but if you haven't tested your business recovery at the business application layer, you may already be in trouble.
Storage executives need to look at risk from a business perspective and include people, processes and technologies in their assessments and action plans. Testing and auditing are also perennial requirements. If you're lucky, you'll never need this preparation, but there sure seems to be a lot of bad luck around these days.

Microsoft and Yahoo have gotten hot and heavy again on the search-display partnership, Kara Swisher says.
If the companies actually make it to the altar (which they should), it will be interesting to see what prompted this renewed enthusiasm for one another. Some possibilities:
- Yahoo saw its search share declining again (death)
- Microsoft finally dug deep into its pockets for some serious cash (because Microsoft, too, was startled that Bing's first month was such a bust?)
Judging from Kara's description of a "several billion dollar" payment from Microsoft to Yahoo, the second seems more likely (last summer, Microsoft was only offering $1 billion). In any event, if things go well, we might get a deal next week.
Here's Kara:
Unless there is some major glitch, there might finally be a search and online advertising deal struck between Yahoo and Microsoft at long last.
Top executives at Microsoft–including SVP of the Online Audience Business Group Yusuf Mehdi, search head Satya Nadella and top digital exec Qi Lu, as well as others–have all flown down to Silicon Valley from their Redmond, Wash., HQ today to iron out the remaining issues, which seem to have to do with the deployment of technology...
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is also deeply involved in the talks, although he is not with the group...
While BoomTown has gotten several different versions of terms of the latest deal, they all include Microsoft (MSFT) paying Yahoo (YHOO) several billion dollars upfront to take over its search advertising business and guarantee certain payments back to Yahoo.
There is also a display advertising element to the deal, which would likely have Yahoo take the lead in selling premium advertising for the companies.

Terri Harlan of Sew Fantastic used paper piecing to make this Circle of Geese quilt for the MQG Habitat Challenge.
Here's what Terri had to say about working with paper piecing:
"Paper piecing is one of those things I just watched other people do. After doing a few quilt blocks off Flickr, I decided to tackle it with all these great Habitat prints. I am a big fan of open space on quilts, so this pattern fit the bill perfectly. Paper piecing takes patience, which is something I lack sometimes in my quilting. I always get a great idea, and want it to come together by snapping my fingers. Paper piecing is now one of my favorite types of quilting, and it helps calm that storm I get in my head."
Would you like to give paper piecing a try? The block pattern Terri used can be downloaded at Piece by Number.

Artist's Description
In this Gulf coast series, the focus is on the single inhabitant that finds the water's edge a source of nourishment and tranquility. As the sea sweeps the shore with glistening patterns, feathered creatures respond to its rhythms in their own unique way. This is a fleeting glimpse into their world.
About Lucyna A M Green
Since moving from Minnesota, where everything goes dormant for 6 months out of the year, to Texas and then to Mexico Beach , where almost nothing does, change has become a common word in my vocabulary. Straying from my roots geographically, and surviving it, encouraged me to take a chance creatively as well. From the structure and conditions of graphic design and illustration for publishing and print advertising, I embraced the free spirit of fine art. I chose "nature" as a common element for three very distinctive styles of expression. The first, a traditional approach, resulted in cut-paper illustrations of florals and creatures. The second, an electronic approach, yielded hundreds of digital portraits that I call the "PhotoArt...

15th Annual MLK Service Day Puts Students to Work in Community
More than 80 students volunteered at non-profit agencies in the local community on Saturday, Jan. 26, for Hamilton's 15th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Service Day. Hamilton Association for Volunteering, Outreach and Charity (HAVOC) sent groups of students to 19 different sites to spend the afternoon working on various projects.
Students painted, sorted food, shelved books and organized clothing at Country Pantry, Hope House, the Kirkland Town Library and Sculpture Space, among other organizations.
HAVOC's Elizabeth Rodriguez '15 said, "It was exciting to see how many students are passionate about service and will willingly wake up on a Saturday morning to volunteer." She addressed student participants before they embarked on their service trips, quoting Martin Luther King Jr. "'No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.'"
"We tried to remember this quote throughout the day and represent Hamilton with dignity and excellence," said Rodriguez.

Using a software model of active heart tissue that has been in existence for several years, researchers at the Université de Montréal have performed what they believe to be the largest simulation of electrical activity in the heart yet performed.
The researchers used an SGI Altix system with 768 processors that is part of the Quebec Network for High Performance Computing, a computing resource shared by Canadian scientists. Dr. Mark Potse and Dr Alain Vinet scaled up a 120 million-point model of heart tissue to a model containing 2 billion points. The two-hour simulation modeled only 5 milliseconds of electrical activity in a block of heart tissue. Simulating a full heartbeat would take two weeks.
Modeling the electrical activity of the heart tissue could lead to a better understanding of some heart diseases, including Brugada syndrome and Long-QT syndrome. These diseases can be diagnosed using an ECG (electrocardiogram), but to really study the mechanisms of the disease requires a complex software simulation.
"We have been using the model code for research and not really developing it further, but after the success of the trial I am now thinking about improving the model, making it much larger and much more detailed, and attacking other diseases that we couldn't handle before," said Dr. Potse.

Budget fight a perfect storm of issues roiling US
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — It's a political perfect storm: The pairing of a government shutdown with the rollout of a big chunk of the health care law is illustrating all sorts of partisan and cultural tensions that are roiling America. Big government vs. small. The Republican Party's identity crisis. Sharpening political divisions among Americans. And plenty more.
Dueling images of the government powering itself down just as Americans for the first time are logging on to Obamacare's new health-insurance exchanges bring into high relief a debate that Americans have been having since the birth of the nation. How much government do we really need? How much is too much?
The Founding Fathers rejected the tyranny of kings and apportioned powers among Congress, the states, the executive and the courts in a balance that Americans of diverse beliefs have argued over ever since. Ronald Reagan famously declared government the problem, not the solution — then added to its size. Bill Clinton announced the end of the era of big government — and pared it back. Barack Obama won election — twice — holding out the promise of an activist government that could do so much more for its citizens.
Now, Republicans have turned Obamacare into a political metaphor for what they hold out as the heavy hand of Washington. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said people in his state are telling him that if shutting things down "is the only way to stop the runaway train called the federal government, then we're willing to try it."
Others question whether it's a fair fight.
"There are no Republicans who talk about Obamacare as anything other than socialized medicine, a government takeover of the health care system," says Calvin Mackenzie, a professor of government at Colby College in Maine. "Anybody who's studied Obamacare would find that a hard conclusion to draw."
Sure, there's a huge clash between Republicans and Democrats unfolding in Washington. But the more interesting struggle is playing out within the Republican Party, whose tea party contingent is forcing even conservative members to tack ever farther right and making it harder for Congress to find common ground on all sorts of big problems — not just the budget.
House Speaker John Boehner was reluctant to provoke a shutdown but ultimately bowed to pressure from tea partyers in his caucus insistent on linking the fight over Obamacare with financing for the government.
Obama put the blame for Washington's paralysis all on "one faction of one party, in one house of Congress, in one branch of government." That was an oversimplification, no doubt, but one that summed up the roiling divisions in the Capitol and within the GOP. It laid bare the sense among Democrats that the tea party is not just an opposing force, but a corrosive one.
There are plenty of Republicans who are fine with a government shutdown. But others in the GOP worry that the party is heading for a repeat of the 2012 elections in which GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and a number of conservative candidates for Congress didn't have enough appeal with moderates to produce GOP victories.
The standoff over Obamacare could be a moment of truth for a party trying to determine its direction.
The president accuses GOP critics of Obamacare of trying to keep people uninsured; Republicans say they're waging a principled fight against a mammoth government overreach.
Both arguments oversimplify the debate. At the heart of Obamacare are complicated questions of what kind of health care Americans are entitled to, how much they should have to pay and how to rein in the huge share of U.S. economic activity that is swallowed up by health care costs.
Americans spend nearly 20 cents of every dollar on health care.
What worries economists most is the rate of growth. The nation's health care tab has consistently grown faster than just about everything else, outpacing wages and the gross domestic product. That means it could crowd out other priorities, such as business investment and government spending on education.
Government programs cover more than 100 million Americans — about 1 in 3 people. That share is going to grow as Obama's health care law takes hold.
But unlike many other developed nations, the United States seems likely to keep its mix of employer coverage, government programs and individual responsibility instead of adopting a government-run model for all.
The Obamacare debate touches on a long-running debate in America about the idea of a "nanny state" — when the government goes too far in protecting people from themselves.
Does the mandate to obtain health insurance just concern the person who is forced to get it? Or does it benefit the health care system and the economy to make sure nearly everyone is covered? That's part of the debate over the health care law.
Prohibition said no to making and selling booze — in the Constitution, no less, until another constitutional amendment made it easy to get plastered again. Washington pushed for state motorcycle helmet laws, with mixed success, and mandated seat belts in vehicles.
Hillary Clinton earned plenty of ridicule from the right for asserting that "it takes a village" to raise a child. And in the face of substantial childhood obesity, Michelle Obama has taken some hits for her campaign to get kids to exercise and eat healthy food.
Polling suggests that Americans value personal choice over government involvement when it comes to behavior, but it's not quite that simple. In an Associated Press-NORC Center poll out this year, 8 in 10 favored government policies that make it easier for people to make healthier choices, such as providing nutrition and exercise guidelines, and three-quarters supported government money for farmers markets and bike paths. But most didn't like government mandates on their choices.
RED vs. BLUE
Obama came to national attention almost a decade ago on the strength of a keynote speech to the 2004 Democratic National Convention that rejected the notion of red states and blue states and declared "there's not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America." Many times since he's played on that theme of a nation not split by those party colors, in what can only be called wishful thinking.
What's happened in the budget impasse, the struggle over the health care law and much else in Washington is very much a product of red vs. blue, sometimes to a point where each side can barely talk to the other.
Of today's political divisions, Mackenzie says: "They're about as hard as they can be."
Not because the middle ground has necessarily disappeared but because it is not what counts the most to some ideologues at this time. (Check back on that when the 2014 elections roll around). Republicans who have placed their opposition to the health care law at the center of everything are responding only to a slice of public opinion, Mackenzie says. "They're thinking about the people who elect them and the people who fund them and those people are very supportive of what they're doing."
To be sure, bipartisanship is still a feel-good word in Washington, but it's thrown around loosely. Everyone ideally wants the political cover that can come when hefty chunks of both parties agree on something, and they claim it even when it isn't there.
Several Republican lawmakers did just that after a series of polarizing votes leading to the shutdown, particularly the one on the House resolution that sought to pass a budget only on condition that the health care law be stripped of money. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas claimed a "strong bipartisan majority" in the vote; Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California said: "It was a bipartisan moment because we're all Americans."
It was actually more of a bipolar moment. Only two Democrats voted with the Republican majority and one Republican voted with the Democrats.
This is a political and policy dispute that's also personal.
The tea partyers' disdain for the president is unrestrained, with talk of impeachment all the rage.
Republicans were quick to re-label the Affordable Care Act as Obamacare to personalize their dislike of the thing.
Even Boehner, typically known for his even keel, did a mocking impression of Obama on the House floor as the shutdown neared, parroting the president's voice in saying: "I'm not going to negotiate, I'm not going to negotiate. I'm not going to do this."
Newt Gingrich, the House speaker who orchestrated the last government shutdown in the 1990s, chimed in Tuesday to say that Obama "refuses to behave like an American president. He refuses to deal with the Congress as his equal, which it is in the Constitution."
Obama complained that House Republicans were "trying to mess with me" by passing a bill to cut off money for Obamacare.
But the president and the Democrats themselves have flung out plenty of overheated rhetoric, referring to Republicans as blackmailers, anarchists, extortionists, and more.
Obama offered assurances, though, that "we're not demonizing the other side."

The Patrol Division is the lifeblood of a police department. The initial investigation of a call by a trained police officer most times turns up the most important information and evidence that law enforcement needs to solve a case. At present in our department we have 37 Police Officers that are supervised over the three shifts by 8 Patrol Lieutenants. The Patrol Division has two Patrol Captains assigned to it for administrative purposes. Overall responsibility for the Patrol Division is under the direction of Assistant Chief of Police Michael Boehringer.
Patrol Officers are responsible for the initial handling of any call that comes into our dispatch unit. These calls can be as simple as a disabled automobile or as serious as a felony level crime in progress. Our officers generally ride one officer per car and at times multiple cars need to be assigned to a specific call. The responding officer is responsible for working on a case as far as he can within his function as a police officer. Calls that necessitate an immediate arrest are handled and completed by the patrol officer including all booking of the suspect. Calls that need more investigative work done are referred by the officer to one of our specialty units such as the Detective Bureau or Accident Investigation Unit. In these cases the officer will file all his paperwork for the follow up to be done and then may work hand in hand with the follow up officers to complete the case.
Within our Patrol Division we have a number of specialty areas that Patrol Officers are assigned to. For more information on these areas check out the links listed on the bottom of this page. You can also contact any of the supervisors listed above by using the email link that is attached to their name.

In the absence of a (real) princess…
That's what I wrote yesterday when I posted the Taylor Swift arrival photos from Prince William's Winter Whites Gala – click here for a refresher. And that was before they sang together.
Can't get enough of this video.
Bon Jovi calls for Will to get up and join him for Living On A Prayer. He and Taylor come together. And the rest of it is AWKWARD AS F-CK. Look at how uncomfortable he is. That is not where he lives. That is not where he was bred. In this case, a throne is not a stage. And, again, that's what sets celebrity apart from royalty. When you are born to it, you don't have to seek it. I had to look away when the camera came in on him and he stood there nodding, not knowing the words.
By contrast, Taylor has never seemed more alive. She might also be trying to overcompensate for his discomfort. Either way, it's a fascinating study of opposites. Question: would this have happened if Kate had been there?
God it's really, really, really too bad Harry wasn't there. As I noted several weeks ago when I posted about the event invitation – click here for a refresher – that's her Prince Charming. And it would keep us in business for a long, long time.

Kofi Annan visits St. Paul
Annan stressed the importance of individual involvement in global issues to the 2,000 people seated in the Macalester Field House. He said global problems like poverty, inequality, nuclear proliferation, bird flu and AIDS are too big for any one country, no matter how powerful, to tackle alone. He praised the progress at the 2005 World Summit in September that produced, among other things, a set of eight goals to improve the lives of people around the world.
"They represent a set of simple but powerful objectives that everyone from Minnesota to Malasia can support and understand," Annan said.
The goals include cutting the rate of poverty in half, reducing the spread of AIDS and establishing universal primary education by the year 2015.
Annan also expressed regret, however, the summit was not able to produce agreements on reducing the number of nuclear weapons. He was also disappointed the participants would not expand the number of members in the UN Security Council, which, he says, has a narrow power base. The Security Council currently contains only China, France, Britain, Russia and the United States as permanent members.
Following his speech Annan took questions from Macalester students. One student asked Annan to indentify his greatest challenge during his 10 years as Secretary General.
"The greatest challenge was the destructive debate and division among the membership in the lead-up to the Iraq war," Annan replied.
Annan said those divisions have not healed. He also said the UN has so far not been able to fulfill its peacekeeping role in Iraq.
"We failed," he said. "Not only did we fail. At the end of the war I felt we should all do whatever we can to get Iraq right because we can't afford a destabilized Iraq in the center of the Middle East--a very crucial and sensitive part of the world."
Annan has come under fire recently after revelations Saddam Hussein manipulated the UN's Oil-For-Food Program to embezzle millions of dollars. The scandal implicated Annan's son, who headed a company under contract to the program. Senator Norm Coleman, R-MN, launched an investigation of the program and called for Kofi Annan's resignation.
Talking with reporters after his address, Annan said any missteps were overblown.
"The UN has received some unfair and unjustifiable criticism, an organized political campaign against the organization, particularly around the Oil-For-Food, where issues of mismanagement were exaggerated to point the organization [was portrayed] as a den of thieves, which is entirely wrong," he said.
Annan said the UN's work is complex and he treats Senator Coleman's views with what he called "sympathetic understanding."
In the end, Annan said, the UN's worth extends well beyond the issues of security that many people in the United States view as a priority.
"You've seen the action we took on avian flu, you've seen the work we did after the tsunami struck, also the earthquake in Asia, you know the work on economic development, on poverty, the work we're doing on HIV/AIDS," Annan said. "All these are extremely important to many people around the world."
This was Annan's second visit to Macalester since taking over the UN. His speech is the inaugural address to commemorate the start of the Institute for Global Citizenship. He also enjoyed a private tour of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.

Scuffling CarGo given breather in finale
SAN DIEGO -- Thursday afternoon was a good and bad time for Rockies left fielder Carlos Gonzalez to rest.
Gonzalez has a .138 batting average and 13 strikeouts against Padres starter Ian Kennedy. He also entered the day 3-for-24 (.125) through six games on the Rockies' road trip.
It wasn't your typical 3-for-24, at least in San Diego. Gonzalez was robbed on hard-hit balls and outstanding defensive plays on several occasions. Sometimes, he realized, it's good to step away from the frustration.
"For sure, there are going to be a couple of broken-bat hits, and a couple not-hard hits, and you've got to take it that way," said Gonzalez, whose batting average has dropped 106 points to .283 during the trip. "The positive thing is I'm hitting the ball hard, just not finding holes right now. But it's hard, because every time I feel like I hit the ball hard in great situations -- runners on first and second, things like that -- and that's the ballgame.
"What I do is go out and play defense and try to do the same thing to them that they're doing to me. It's tough, but you can't get frustrated. Just continue to swing the bat and good things will happen."
The Rockies don't always sit Gonzalez in unfavorable matchups against right-handed pitching. He went 0-for-4 Saturday against the Giants' Matt Cain to end a 10-game hitting streak, and he's 4-for-44 (.091) in his career against Cain.
"It's a matter of time when everything will come together," Gonzalez said. "Hopefully, we'll stay healthy. If we're all out there and competing at our best level, we're going to be a good team.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 116 diseños de 42 diseñadores freelance.
Nature Bake is a bakery that was started in the 50's and this year, we're creating a fresh image - starting with the logo.
NatureBake (one word)
If you visit the current website http://www.NatureBake.com, you can see what we have had for a while. We want something new!
We really don't need a fancy icon but would rather have the primary focus be on the name itself. Thanks for your work ahead of time. :-)
- Focus on the name with a strong, distinct font- Bread line is sandwich style, healthy, organic, whole grain, all-natural- Want something sophisticated, classic, timeless - we want it to say "adult" sandwich bread rather than "kid" sandwich bread- If you have any icon at all, try to cleverly incorporate it into the name but make sure the name is the star. For any icons you can think whole grain style, sandwich bread, sliced as a loaf or as a sandwich - Make it ready for spot colors, not processed (don't shade and worry about 3D) and needs to transfer well to black and white of course- It's not necessary but it MAY be better if this logo has a sort of "framed in" look (i.e., an oval or rectangle border around the logo) as it will sometimes be incorporated with a forthcoming illustration of the founder. We do not yet have that picture or illustration. - Spelling is "NatureBake" one word - lower or upper case is whatever you want but the "N" and "B" should stand out of course- You can, but it's not necessary to have the "Established 1955" phrase in there.
- Something uninspired- We don't like the current logo. This does NOT mean we don't want bread or wheat in the logo but it doesn't mean we do - it just means we don't like the CURRENT logo - be FRESH- Dated looking- Do not portray white bread

RIT receives $3.2M to advance female faculty
Program details strategies to improve gender equity for female faculty, including women of color and those who are deaf and hard-of-hearing
Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology were awarded $3.2 million from the National Science Foundation for the project "CONNECT: Increasing the Representation and Advancement of Women Faculty at RIT."
RIT's project is part of the foundation's ADVANCE Institutional Transformation initiatives intended to increase representation and advancement of women in academic science, technology, engineering and mathematics—also referred to as STEM—careers, thereby contributing to the development of a more diverse science and engineering workforce.
CONNECT@RIT—Creating Opportunity Networks for Engagement and Collective Transformation—focuses on improving conditions for female STEM faculty, with a particular emphasis on women of color and women who are deaf and hard-of-hearing at the university. It will be undertaken over a five-year period, starting immediately through a series of directed, campus-wide activities.
The university will address issues of recruitment, retention and advancement of female faculty through reassessment of some of its academic and human resource policies, expanding a newly established faculty mentoring program and increasing professional development and leadership opportunities.
New activities would include developing dual-career hire initiatives and the launch of a Connectivity Series—formal professional networking processes—and an Eminent Scholars program. The latter will promote female faculty scholarship and provide mentoring and support to further develop research.
"Adapting the proposed interventions to the unique needs of underrepresented groups such as women of color faculty and deaf and hard-of-hearing women faculty will broaden access to the formal and informal RIT network for all faculty," says Margaret Bailey, grant principal investigator. She also serves as faculty associate to the provost and is a professor of mechanical engineering in RIT's Kate Gleason College of Engineering.
Professional development sessions, electronic newsletters and progress reports will inform the RIT community about the project, promote participation of both men and women, and may provide critical insights to guide social networking initiatives to advance women in industrial, government and nonprofit work settings, Bailey adds.
RIT is one of only a few universities to receive the prestigious ADVANCE grant this year. Since 2001, the National Science Foundation has invested more than $130 million to support ADVANCE projects at nearly 100 institutions of higher education and STEM-related, not-for-profit organizations across the U.S.
In 2008, RIT's research group began the institutional transformation process through EFFORT@RIT to quantify core data that would become the basis for CONNECT@RIT. Findings from that NSF ADVANCE IT-Catalyst funded self-study indicated that RIT had only 23 percent of its female tenured and tenure track faculty in STEM disciplines, below the 30 percent average represented in U.S. colleges and universities, even though the number of female faculty had tripled at RIT over a 15-year period. Further data revealed gender-based, average salary gaps existed at each faculty rank, and that women left the faculty ranks at a rate nearly twice that of their male colleagues.
These findings mirrored national trends for women in STEM careers in academia and in industry. Aware of the trends, RIT had already begun efforts to expand its diversity and gender equity commitments, says RIT Provost Jeremy Haefner.
"Our NSF ADVANCE grant builds on the momentum created by the recent university self-study conducted by this team, as well as efforts within many areas of the university which focus on inclusive excellence, our method for coherently and collaboratively integrating diversity and inclusion into our pursuit of excellence," Haefner says. "The CONNECT@RIT project strengthens the RIT academic culture within a framework of inclusive excellence, to create an environment that promotes innovation and that attracts, retains, and advances more women faculty while giving both female and male faculty more opportunities for success."
According to the NSF program summary provided to the research team, all indications suggest that RIT is well-positioned for the kinds of transformations sought through this grant, including strong upper administrative support, specific intentions to address gender equity in the university's strategic plan and clear methods to integrate grant initiatives into existing university structures.
Participating on the CONNECT@RIT project are Margaret Bailey, faculty associate to the provost, professor of mechanical engineering, Kate Gleason College of Engineering, and grant principal investigator; Sharon Mason, professor of computing, B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences; John-Paul Hatala, assistant professor, human resource development, and Maureen Valentine, associate dean, both from the College of Applied Science and Technology; Carol Marchetti, associate professor of statistics, and Stefi Baum, professor and director of the Center for Imaging Science, both from College of Science; Kijana Crawford, associate professor, sociology, College of Liberal Arts; and Susan Foster, professor, secondary education program, National Technical Institute for the Deaf.

Asda is cutting fuel to new national price cap of 110.7ppl on unleaded and 112.7ppl on diesel.
The cuts of 3ppl off fuel at its 294 filling stations across the UK - including its ten forecourts in Northern Ireland which are Ballyclare, Bangor, Coleraine, Cookstown, Downpatrick, Enniskillen, Newtownards, Omagh, Portadown and Strabane - are effective from tomorrow (November 15).
Asda's latest income tracker for September shows that year on year, fuel prices have increased by 1.4%.
This is the first time in over 3 years that the data has shown an increase in vehicle fuel prices from the previous year. This is one of the contributing factors to the plateau in weekly disposable income for families across the UK.
Asda Senior Director for Petrol Andy Peake said: "Today's latest move shows that Asda is once again leading the way in reducing the price at the pumps to help the millions of motorists across the UK. Our new national price cap of 110.7ppl on unleaded and 112.7ppl on diesel will be welcomed by the millions of drivers who have seen fuel prices rise since Brexit".

BERKELEY — UC Berkeley police are looking for a man who reportedly groped a female student Thursday night.
The 21-year-old student was attacked about 7:30 p.m. on a walkway between Barker and Koshland halls, according to a statement police issued Friday evening.
The man, described as Hispanic and in his late 20s or early 30s, allegedly grabbed the student from behind "with both of his hands and grabbed her genital area over her clothing around her waist."
She screamed and he ran toward Hearst Avenue, police said. The attacker is described as about 5-foot 5-inches tall, with shoulder length dark hair and heavy build. He was wearing a turquoise T-shirt and dark pants.
Police searched the area but did not find the man. Anyone with information on the attack is asked to call UC Police at 510-642-0472 or 510-642-6760,

I've started reading Jürgen Habermas, in the hope he will show me how to settle the anger and frustration I feel looking out at the world through the eyes of Illich. Illich was somehow able to think like he did without apparently getting eaten up by it...me on the other hand, I'm still learning.
I've so far read some of his first book, The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere 1962 (English 1989). At the same time I'm referring to a book of essays collected from a conference about Habermas' work, Habermas and the Public Sphere. Edited by Craig Calhorn.
Habermas saw a vibrant public sphere as a positive force keeping authorities within bounds lest their rulings be ridiculed... Today, in contrast, there is scant public debate, few public forums, and political discussion has degenerated from a fact-based rational-critical examination of public matters into a consumer commodity. There is the illusion of a public sphere, according to Habermas. Wikipedia editors June 2010
Chompsky's Manufacturing Consent immediately springs to mind just now, but what I really wanted to note here was the obvious connections this may have to considerations of Gov 2.0 being discussed by bourgeois Australians, and the idea that a new public sphere could be built online, through social media, based on participatory culture.
I think the class of people already in that sphere, discussing social media, connectivity, participation and Gov 2.0, has been up until recently, eclectic and fresh, and not requiring status necessarily (the long tail) - a positive thing according to Habermas. Certainly this absence of status has been the case for discussions about social media up until now, with bloggers over riding journalists, volunteers over riding contracted labor and academics, and individuals bringing politicians and corporations out onto the streets and sometimes into ridicule.
Australian Senator Kate Lundy and her officers have organised speaking events called The Public Sphere, with obvious reference to Habermas' ideals. These events are basically an open mic and wiki - open to seemingly anyone who wants to stand and speak. To a large degree, the design of the events is successful in subverting the barrier of status that limits open dialog and the discovery of innovative ideas in Australian discourse today, but is it really what Habermas describes?
As good as The Public Sphere events are, I think it must go further yet, and be more self conscious of the status and power dynamics implicit in the events. The open mic events are located in Parliament House, The wikis and discussions on the Senator's website, and the banter that goes through the social networks is almost impossible to follow. Habermas acknowledges the decline in the quality of debate when it is spread out from the hands of the elite, but argues that this is a necessary stage to go through, implying that it is possible to grow from it.
I've noticed a sudden change in the type of participation in the discussions about social media, and in particular the Gov 2.0 project. I'm not sure what it is, but perhaps a comparison between 2005 events like Blog Talk Down Under, and 2010 initiatives like Gov 2.0 au and Public Sphere give a faint impression... I want to say the quality of the discussion has degraded, or at least stagnated, but how might I prove such a thing? I can't, its a gut feeling.The opposite might just as well be true if status has any real meaning, because there is a noticeable increase of people with 'status' such as academic, journalist, politician and business people joining the discussion (as others perhaps leave). Recently we're seeing academic papers referencing only the works of other academics, a plethora of johnny-come-lately academic and institution blogs that lack any depth of network or authenticity, and National level conferences hosted and attended by politicians, public servant bosses and big business. To my ears, most of what is said in this new sphere with status, merely parrots what has been said for 7 years, or more if we take it back as far as Cluetrain.. further gets a bit abstract for me.
"Status" seems to be creeping into this new public sphere, and the quality and agenda of the debate is changing.. but into what? Is this the point at which the bosses came and take all the credit? How else could it be?... off to study Habermas some more.

well, this is what happens when you have all-day meetings and a life-after-work: the blog doesn't get updated on the day I run!
I ran yesterday and today, both during the day. yesterday I ran near the office for about 45 minutes (fairly flat, false flats, some downhills) and today ran with Danny in the Experimental Forest near the UNCA campus for 30 minutes (small rolling hills on trails).
It was really nice the last two days, not miserably cold like it was on Tuesday. But as I have been told, I can just bundle up and keep moving. The cold shouldn't be that much of a deterrent!
My brain is fried today, so this entry is going to be short and sweet:
- Knee ache: I discovered that it's because I do something relatively large number of people do: my foot tends to angle out from the time it's behind to the time it comes forward (but hopefully always behind my body, right?!) and as my foot comes down, it hits on the outer heel, no matter how much I have tried for a mid foot strike… My knees were a little achy today, and Danny informed me very politely that it's because of my foot placement. If my foot were really relaxed, it wouldn't be torquing outward and putting pressure on my knee and then putting pressure on my knee again because of where my foot landed: simple story is to keep relaxed, try to imagine hitting my inside opposite calf with the raised foot, and keep the y'chi forward.
- I felt good yesterday and today aerobically. The runs today weren't really super long or fast at all, but I felt like I had a good heart rate and I liked the way I felt when I was done. Nothing to long, nothing too short.
- Arm Swing: been really focusing on keeping my arms down at a true 90 degrees instead of hiked up around my shoulders when I am on the flats. today on the hills, it really helped to run behind Danny so I could mimic what he did. There's great power in mimicry. How else do we learn anything as children?
- I want to make sure that in the next 7 weeks of my training that I don't get injured, keep enjoying myself, make sure I can run 13 generally comfortably, and keep smiling.
I figure that at this point, I've got to try to stick with my training regimen, but I really just want to go have fun with the runs as much as possible. I remember when I first started, I wanted to follow the training regimen so closely, and I am glad I did, but somehow now I feel like I have the skills to know what I need to do, to let my body tell me what it wants to do.
That's an exciting thing.

Israel will only strike Iranian nuclear facilities in September or after the United States presidential elections in November, a White House official told the British Sunday Times newspaper after a meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama last week.
According to the report, Obama has taken Israel's warnings about a possible strike in Iran very seriously. The Washington source added that the president "might visit in the summer to reassure the Israelis that the US commitment to defend Israel is unshakable and thus thwart a possible autumn attack."
Obama insisted that any attack on Iran should be postponed until after the US presidential elections in November, possibly even until next spring. The source revealed that Netanyahu consented to delaying a strike, but wished to know until when. "The question is how much time," he reportedly said.
The White House source added that Netanyahu presented a number of demands Iran must fulfill in order to avoid an Israeli attack, including transferring 150 kilograms (330 pounds) of enriched uranium to a third party, stopping the enrichment process at the Fordow site near Qom and ceasing any further enrichment beyond the 3.5% required for power generation.

Sam Worthington is a bad drunk
TMZ reports that Sam Worthington was arrested in Atlanta the other night. He showed up at a restaurant and was asked for ID. He became aggressive when he was refused entry for not having any. Apparently he was so ragey they had to pepper spray and cuff him until the cops arrived. No charges have been filed because the witness didn't show up but it was all caught on surveillance. His mug shot is below.
So...is it fair to say Sam Worthington is a bad drunk? I mean, when you have to be subdued, that's, like, C.O.P.S. territory. Which is super unsexy. And I've never understood why some people find this attractive, as if the violent side that comes out under the influence of alcohol is some kind of desirable masculinity. You know how you can smell that on a person? I've never been hot on Sam Worthington, and I wonder if this is what I was vibing. I dated one of those -- a major regret. Sam has Bad Drunk Face too, right? Something about a permanently swollen, slightly red nose...

Fire away: Supes revisit commercial open burns
July 2 marked the Board of Supervisors' first chance to revisit Albemarle's commercial open fire policy, nine months after a public outcry about a massive fire pile in the developing Belvedere community off Rio Road.
"This is something we put together in response to complaints board members have received from citizens," says fire marshal James Barber. "My office investigates all of those complaints."
On the Board's agenda were two options: banning commercial open fires altogether, or putting them under stricter regulations. Proposals include demanding that brush fires take place in a pit and that burners employ an "air curtain," or blower.
"It makes the burning process more efficient by making the fire hotter," says Barber.
In addition, the Board is considering expanding the existing 500-feet notification radius, a standard among similar Virginia counties, to force commercial burners to obtain the written permission of all dwellers within 1,000 feet.
By contrast, Henrico County requires permission from neighbors within only 300 feet while Prince William already requires it from all dwellers within 1,000 feet.
For now, the Board has decided to emphasize stricter enforcement under existing regulations for a trial period of 60-90 days. Open burn applicants already pay a $325 administrative fee and attest that all neighbors within 500 feet have given permission. The County now wants evidence of such permissions.
According to Supervisor Kenneth Boyd, the Board will meet after this trial period of stringent enforcement to decide whether a new ordinance is necessary. "There is no need to increase legislation if enforcement will do just as well," says Boyd. If a new ordinance does seem necessary, the Board will hold a public hearing.
Barber says that if supervisors ban open burning altogether, contractors will be forced to use other methods of disposal. He notes that contractors worry that alternatives– include grinding material and trucking it offsite– will drive up their expenses.
For neighbor Robin Hoffman, just getting the board to consider a ban is "a miracle."
"People feel absolutely no responsibility," says Hoffman, blasting Stonehaus Inc., the development company whose fire pit blanketed her Huntington Road home and yard with ash last fall.
Stonehaus did not return the Hook's calls by press time.
"You can't stop progress, but you need to protect the ones around the new development," says another Huntington Road resident, G.L. Kirby, who served 35 years as a volunteer in the Charlottesville fire department. "My concern was the ashes were coming in on cars, and my windows were full of soot.
"They certainly need to put in a deeper fire pit, and before they leave to go off the job, they need to have someone watch it or put it out," says Kirby, noting that smoke can exacerbate health conditions such as asthma and emphysema.
Over at Fairview Pool, which was being pelted with ash last year, swim director J.J. Bean says the problem has subsided.
"With any kind of neighborhood construction site, you're going to have dirt and dust," says Bean, adding that the development offered the use of its water truck to wash away particles. "The people at the worksite were very receptive to helping us out," he adds.
The revisiting of the open burning policy will not affect burning for non-commercial purposes, Barber says. This means that, as long as they comply with any applicable regulations such as neighborhood association rules or fire codes, backyard bonfires can continue to blaze.
According to Boyd, the Board will have another session regarding open burning within 60 to 90 days, and will provide time for public comment. As of now, no draft ordinances exist.

This year's Geminid meteor shower peaked Friday, igniting early morning skies in one of the most spectacular cosmic light shows of 2013. Astrophotographer Juan Carlos Casado captured 50 meteors in this composite image of the shower raining over the Canary Islands' Teide volcano.
Geminid meteors flooded skies the world over Friday night, shining bright even against the glow emanating from last week's waxing gibbous moon. For more images of the shower, check visit Universe Today and Spaceweather's realtime photo gallery.

Art and design lecture series features internationally acclaimed artist Mark Dion
Loyola press release - October 8, 2012
The Department of Art and Design at Loyola University New Orleans will continue its free lecture series this month with internationally acclaimed artist Mark Dion on Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 6:30 p.m. in Miller Hall, Room 114. Dion's work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history, knowledge and the natural world. According to Dion, an artist's job is "to go against the grain of dominant culture, to challenge perception and convention."
Appropriating archaeological and other scientific methods of collecting, ordering and exhibiting objects, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between objective, rational scientific methods and subjective, irrational influences.
A Massachusetts native, Dion received a Bachelor of Fine Arts and an honorary doctorate from the University of Hartford, School of Art, Connecticut. He has had major exhibitions at the Miami Art Museum in Florida, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and Tate Gallery in London, England. His work "Neukom Vivarium," a permanent outdoor installation and learning lab for the Olympic Sculpture Park, was commissioned by the Seattle Art Museum. Dion's appearance is part of the Mark Grote Visiting Artist and Biever Grant Lecture Series.

Last night, the spectacular glass-vaulted Paul Hamlyn Hall at the Royal Opera House was transformed for the GQ Men Of The Year Awards.
The Awards, this year hosted by comedian and actor Rob Brydon, celebrate the very best in film, music, TV, books and politics. Guests this year included Hollywood star Samuel L. Jackson, 'Doctor Who' actor Matt Smith and comedian Russell Brand.
Michael Douglas was presented with the Legend award, while Noel Gallagher won the Icon Award. Other winners include Boris Johnson (the Politician Award), Elton John (the Genius Award), and Emma Watson (the Woman Award). View the full list of winners.
The Awards, which are now in their 16th year, have taken place at the Royal Opera House for several years. With 570 attendees, this year's ceremony was the largest dinner ever held in the Paul Hamlyn Hall: in preparation, an extension to the Balconies Restaurant was built – a construction that had to be removed by 9am the next morning.
The Paul Hamlyn Hall, which was originally used as an flower market when first opened in 1860, is now synonymous with some of the capital's most glamorous awards ceremonies, including the annual BAFTAs. It is also a popular venue for weddings.
Other front of house areas of the Royal Opera House are also available for hire, including the ballet studios and opulent Crush Room. Find out more about venue hire.
