Protect your SAN from attack
Think your SAN is secure? Find out the truth by reading Part 1 in our three-part series on storage security.
Pop quiz: Which presents the most security problems: network-attached storage (NAS) or a storage area network (SAN)? Careful, like those tricky SAT questions, the most obvious answer sometimes isn't the correct one.
|Storage security terms
NAS' vulnerabilities, namely NFS and the common Internet file system (CIFS)--which allow someone to search another computer for a file--are well known to hackers and those whose job it is to foil their efforts. In contrast, the biggest security issue with Fibre Channel (FC) is many storage administrators feel it's a safe network and only the bad guys are currently aware of its security issues.
Obviously, if a network has no authentication (see "Storage security terms") all other areas of security are moot. There's no point in creating different levels of authorization if any entity can simply lie about its identity. For example, encryption is meaningless if anyone can pretend to have a key. An audit wouldn't reveal much if the system was compromised--the audit might also be compromised. And you have no ability to verify the integrity of your data.
Prior to the advent of FC, each storage network consisted of direct-attached SCSI drives that could only be reached via the SCSI interface to which they were attached. To compromise the data on a disk or tape drive, a hacker first needed to compromise the host. If the attack on the host was successful, the hacker only has access to that host's data. Unless remote shell (rsh) was enabled without a password, a hacker couldn't hack into one host and reach another host's data--each host had to be hacked separately. Therefore, a storage administrator could establish hosts with different security levels on the same LAN because compromising one host didn't equate to compromising all hosts.
However, depending on the configuration, it's possible to access one host's data from another host if both hosts store their data on the same SAN. If one host is compromised and it's able to see the other host's disks via FC, a hacker can access the other host's data. Depending on their motivation, hackers could also compromise the other host via its storage. In fact, there are a bunch of attacks that are possible if one compromised host is able to access another host's storage. These attacks range from stealing data that wasn't intended for the recipient to basic denial of service (DoS) attacks. A disgruntled employee could compromise data by:
- Mounting another system's data drive(s) on the compromised computer and accessing sensitive information such as customer databases, personnel files and engineering drawings
- Mounting another system's data drive(s) on the compromised computer and simply obliterating the contents via commands such as copy, format, dd, delete and rm
- Mounting another system's operating system drive on the compromised computer and viewing password files to run crypt against them
- Mounting another system's operating system drive on the compromised computer and modifying configuration files to get access to the new computer
- Mounting another system's operating system drive on the compromised computer and obliterating and/or corrupting the contents, resulting in a DoS
- Mounting home directories from one server to a compromised server or placing Trojan horses in other users' profile files, resulting in the user performing unknown tasks the next time they log in
FC networks are extremely insecure, but there are ways to make them more secure. The first thing is to change how zoning is done. Most people use soft zoning because most soft zoning is implemented using world wide name (WWN)-based zoning. In WWN-based zoning, the members of the zone are specified using the WWNs of the host bus adapters (HBAs) that belong in the zone. For example, HBA1, HBA2 and HBA3 are members of Zone ABC.
Port-based zoning is where the members of a zone are specified by the physical port on the switch to which they connect. For example, everyone connected to ports 1, 2 and 3 are members of Zone DEF.
The reason most people use WWN-based zoning is because it makes moves, adds and changes much easier. When you need to physically move a server from one switch to another, it doesn't require a change in your configuration. However, if you specified the members of the zone based on the port to which they are connected, then you'd have to change your zoning configuration if you moved a server from one port to another or from one switch to another.
Why is zoning a security issue? A zone is what gives certain servers access to the disk or tape drives on the SAN. If you use port-based zoning--the more secure of the two types--someone would need to gain physical access to your switch in order to spoof membership to a given zone, and thus read the data within that zone. If you used WWN-based zoning, they'd only need to spoof the WWN of the intended recipient to gain access to the zone. It's pretty easy to spoof a WWN: It's built right into the HBA driver.
The WWN is analogous to the MAC address on an Ethernet card. While changing the MAC address on an Ethernet card takes a bit of skill, changing the MAC address of an HBA is often built right into the driver. Why would vendors do this? Believe it or not, they did it to make things easier on you. If you are using WWN-based zoning--which most people use--what happens if you have to replace an HBA, disk or tape drive? You have to redo your zoning. Therefore, they built it right into the driver to be able to change the new HBA to the WWN of the old HBA.
However, this creates a serious vulnerability if one of the hosts on your SAN is compromised. If the hacker is able to obtain (or guess) the WWNs of other HBAs on the SAN, they'll be able to change the WWN of the HBA on the compromised host, then join any zones they want to join, therefore gaining permission to read or write to any disk on the SAN. Of course, the drives might have a SCSI reserve on them, but a simple SCSI bus reset will fix that.
One quick way to thwart this hacker is to:
- Use port-based zoning on all zones and ensure you have physical control over your switches.
- Use WWN-based zoning, but don't put hosts with different security levels on the same SAN.
- Investigate one of the newer, certificate-based authentication systems that are starting to come onto the market.

Thank you, Thumbs & Ammo, for making my Friday. I haven't been able to stop laughing at these manipulated images of famous gun-toting heroes without their weapons. Who knew so much humor could come from brandishing opposable digits instead of a blaster or an Uzi? You know what other medium features a lot of guns? Video games.
So, consider this a plea for the Photoshop-gifted among you to try your hands at cooking up some riffs on this idea. Post your handiwork (yeah, that's right) in the comments below.

A spokeswoman for Rihanna, who is touring in France, said the singer is safe following a truck attack that left more than 80 dead and injured dozens more in Nice on Thursday.
The "Umbrella" singer is in France as part of the European leg of her Anti World Tour. She is OK despite being in the area when a truck mowed down members of a crowd after a fireworks show on Bastille Day, according to the spokeswoman.
The singer was slated to perform Friday night at the Allianz Stadium in Nice, but her concert has since been canceled. Nice's former mayor and city official Christian Estrosi tweeted that Rihanna's show, along with other planned social events in the city, will no longer take place.

Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The rough translation of the French tweet reads: "Tomorrow the flags of the city will be at half mast. After the cancellation of the Rihanna concert, jazz festival is canceled."
A large truck on Thursday careened down the Riviera city's famed waterfront promenade and through a crowd of citizens who had gathered to watch fireworks on Bastille Day, a French national holiday commemorating the storming of the Bastille and the unity of the French people.
Officials believe the attack was deliberate.

Your name's Doug ?
"was wondering how the access and roads are for wheelchairs around the Keys?"
Not bad. It's very flat here, so no uphill pushing. Most every corner has a curb cut. Getting across U.S. 1 can be challenging. Most commercial establishments have decent access, or at least a willingness to give you whatever available help you need. Rolling on beaches can be a challenge, however there are tons of places to get close to the water (it's actually more of a challenge to get away from it - but who comes to the Keys to avoid the sea?) that are easily accessed.
Thank you for the sweet comment, I do live on the Gulf of Mex. Love to you and all you love, Daraby
He did it all alone. He was using only half an hour, I would have used two hours. Now he is sleeping again, because next week is a work week, he is going to work in a market selling planks and doors and things like that. But it is nearly midnight here
Yes, I did. He just came out of bed now and said thank you for cleaning my clothes. Now the bad work is left, folding them, I hate to fold clothes, but I think I have to help him. That was one of the reasons I was staying up so late, I had to put the last one inside the dryer.
And I am still surprised he did clean up his room without any fight
How helpful I can be depends on the question, but I'm more than willing to try. The more focused and specific the questions are, the easier it is to give a useful answer.
Welcome to CC DiddlinD! Sorry you need to be here but glad you found us. This is a great site for information to help stay sane living with SCI. What is your injury level and how did you get hurt. I saw on your profile you fell but it stopped short of saying how you fell or what from. Also you did not list your injury level. It helps others to know how to support you to have that info so you may want to get it updated.
Once again welcome and thanks for sharing on my "Pain Thread". Your quote was positive and uplifting!!! We all neeed a hand up some days!!!!
Hi Dude..nice to be asked to be your friend and look forward to getting to know u better...

Modern Family helped out New York City couples looking forward to starting their own families.
On May 12, ABC covered the cost of all marriage licenses and ceremonies for the city of New York at the New York City Clerk's Office to commemorate the two-part season finale to their show Modern Family.
Stonestreet and Ferguson announced the news on "Good Morning America" that morning when talking about their characters' wedding.
The finale will feature the marriage between Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), two characters who made up the prominent gay couple in the show. In a previous episode, Mitchell confronted his father about the wedding, asking him not to attend.
"I actually really applaud the writers for sort of going there with that relationship, because I think it's something very real and a lot of parents sort of have their own evolution with accepting a gay kid, and certainly Jay is going there with Mitchell," Ferguson, who recently married his husband, said, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The Emmy Award-winning show has become a favorite for many because it comically captures the issues families face in the 21st century.
Modern Family airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. on ABC.

The Katharine & George Alexander Community Law Center, a legal program of the Santa Clara University School of Law, has been awarded a $300,000, two-year grant from the US Department of Justice to help victims of human trafficking, a little-known but persistent problem in the South Bay area.
For the past six years, KGACLC has been a member of the South Bay Coalition to End Human Trafficking, which includes at least a half-dozen law enforcement agencies, divisions and task forces. KGACLC provides immigration-related legal representation to victims, who are typically entitled to legal residency if their case is validated and pursued by law enforcement.
Locally, victims of human trafficking tend to be immigrants brought to the U.S. (legally or illegally) under false pretenses by friends, relatives or purported employers, only to be forced to work excessively long hours at little or no pay. KGACLC has counseled more than a dozen such victims who worked in local restaurants, homes, agricultural settings or in sex trades. Victims are men, women, and children from countries throughout the world, but can also include citizens and residents of the United States.
The $300,000 grant will be used partly to continue the work of the South Bay Coalition in conjunction with the Santa Clara County's Office of Women's Policy. The remainder will be shared jointly by KGACLC, Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, Community Solutions, and the YWCA Rape Crisis Center in order to provide comprehensive, coordinated legal and social services to victims of human trafficking.
The Coalition (http://www.sbcteht.com) works in partnership with the San Jose Police Department Human Trafficking Task Force (http://www.sjpd.org/StopHT/), which comprises the San Jose Police Department, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the US Attorney's Office, Immigration & Customs Enforcement, and other law enforcement agencies. The Coalition and Task Force work closely to identify and serve victims of human trafficking through a victim-centered approach.
"This is the closest thing we have in America to modern-day slavery,'' said Lynette Parker, immigration law attorney with the Katharine & George Alexander Community Law Center. "This grant honors the hard work of both the county-wide task force and law enforcement officials in San Jose and Santa Clara County who strive to combat this problem in a highly coordinated, cooperative way. "
The funding is expected to facilitate better tracking of services provided to victims, establish more long-range policies and procedures, and identify and close any potential gaps in services.
Patty Bennett, an Advocacy Manager at Next Door Solutions said the grant will take the Coalition to "the next level of coordination and service" and also help victims with "empowerment money" –to buy clothes and the basic necessities for her clients "to make life just a little easier after their ordeal."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A career night from Simone Hopes helped Tennessee State pull off a regular season series sweep of Jacksonville State for the second consecutive year as the Lady Tigers prevailed, 76-67 in OVC action Wednesday night at the Gentry Center.
Hopes had a career-high 24 points along with 10 rebounds, while Kesi Hess added 18 points in a career-high 38 minutes. Rachel Allen dished out eight assists - one off her career best of nine. TSU (7-10, 3-3 OVC) has now won five straight regular season matchups versus the Gamecocks.
The Lady Tigers would not trail the rest of the contest as the Hess steal was the catalyst for a 15-4 run over the next 4:30. Great defense created easy offensive chances in transition as TSU had six steals over that span; two each for the triple "H "trio of Hess, Hopes and Chelsea Hudson. Hopes also had seven of the 15 points.
TSU held a 39-32 edge at the half, but JSU kept the game within reach during the second half. The Gamecocks cut the Lady Tigers lead down to four on two occasions, but TSU answered with two separate runs of 6-0 and 5-0.
Jacksonville State (0-20, 0-8 OVC) put up one final flurry cutting a nine point TSU lead with four minutes left, down to three in the final minute. The Lady Tigers closed the door on any comeback with a Hopes jumper on the left baseline with 42 seconds left.
Despite JSU shooting 50 percent from the field compared to 41 percent for TSU, the Lady Tigers had eight more offensive rebounds leading to 15 more total shots.
The Lady Tigers go on the road this Saturday to face Morehead State (7-13, 3-3 OVC) starting at 4:15 CST p.m.

Hi there how are you doing ?
Just saying hello as i've been up late tonight and noticed youre online
Keep smiling
If you would like to add me to your / friends address book i'll do the same ok ?
Keep in touch
Thanks ;
Hi i am a T4 complete paraplegic, i was injured December 6,2008. and i was wondering if i would benifite from using the RT300?
thanks a lot!
Thanks for responding. I had read where you traveled to learn additional techniques- glad to hear this is improving the crawling benefits.
I do encourage crawling for several reasons (assuming it is performed in a safe manner with proper body mechanics). First, it is a great way to place weight through the arms and legs (close to the ground, decreased fear of falling…). Second, it allows you to focus on trunk control (abs). Third, it allows one to couple the entire body (arms, trunk, and legs). Research has shown that the arms help to activate the legs. Several coordinated patterns between the arms and legs can be attempted in this position. In general, I believe it is a great exercise for strength and conditioning. When done properly you should see improvement in bed mobility, transfers.... I know these may not be the ultimate goal but they are a good measure of improving upper extremity and or trunk strength, both of which are conducive for the progression to walking.
Just wondering if you encourage crawling as a therapy? If you do, what do you think it does for the body?
You are now a moderator.
Hey ww. Thank you for bringing relevance to the Research Forums.
Happy Birthday. Wise.

East Capitol to Pennsylvania. They've started closing off sections of road (some of which is parking) around the Capitol, but not to bicyclists because bicyclists can and will pretty much ride anywhere there's room, even when that room is just 3 feet between two parked tour buses.
I took 15th street. When people describe urban streets as leafy, they typically aren't referencing the ground. But 15th Street is leafy in a different way.
|If this picture looks familiar, it's because I've posted a variant of it each week for the past 4 weeks. Also, is that a Mickey Mouse hand?
DC Department of Public Works has since indicated that they're "on it" so we'll see. Hopefully they mean that they plan to clear it of leaves and not dump more in the cycle track. Wet leaves are the worst.
I like when the cyclist in front of me is so busy chatting with the crossing guard as he rolls through a red light into the middle of the street that he doesn't seem to see or hear or heed in any way the approaching, honking car. Maybe "like" isn't the right word.
I saw this via @JDAntos yesterday and I thought it was really interesting and very much matches my perceptions of traffic risks. What I think is more interesting is the discrepancy between the blue bar (potential cyclists) and the red bar (frequent cyclists) in rank ordering. It's easy to get habituated to "too fast" and "too close" but it's the stuff like getting cut off and getting doored that no matter how frequently you ride (or maybe because of it?) that become and remain your real concerns.
Up and down Massachusetts. Bike is dirty again and the chain is getting gunky once more. There might be snow tomorrow. That could be fun, with the snow angels and the icy slickness and Capitol Sledshare and all that, although I made that last thing up.

There aren't many places Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the politically embattled president of Iran can go these days to find a receptive audience.
But the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the Central Asian security and trade group dominated by Russia and China, is unencumbered with any official US allies among its members and always seems up for a rip-roaring denunciation of the US and all its works by the diminutive Iranian leader.
Upon arriving in Kazakhstan's capital of Astana to attend the SCO's annual summit, where Iran is only an official observer, President Ahmadinejad did not disappoint observers awaiting his fireworks.
"All opinion polls show that the US is the worst country in the world. People everywhere regard this country as their own enemy," he said in one meeting.
He called on the SCO to take a more active role in undermining the US-led global system of "slavers and colonizers" and replacing it with a more just order.
"I believe together we can reform the way the world is managed. We can restore the tranquility of the world," he told the assembled SCO leaders, including Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev and China's President Hu Jintao.
Less impressed with Iran?
But experts say that Russia, which was once Iran's chief arms supplier and political supporter, has soured on its former partner since Mr. Medvedev came to power and began seeking better relations with the West.
Last year, Russia cut off all major arms sales to Iran and backed tough United Nations sanctions aimed at forcing Iran to give up its alleged drive to obtain nuclear weapons.
Even China, still a key economic partner of Iran, appears to be losing patience.
In a sideline meeting with Ahmadinejad, Mr. Hu called upon Iran to "take substantial steps in respect of establishing trust" and "speed up the process of dialogue," in international efforts to curb Iran's nuclear program.
Russian experts say listening to an Ahmadinejad speech is a small price to pay for keeping some diplomatic lines open with Iran which, no matter how it is viewed, is an extremely important regional player.
"Iran understands that Russia doesn't want to see it pushed into a corner and completely isolated," says Georgi Mirsky, an expert with the official Institute of World Economy and Economic Relations in Moscow. "The sanctions against Iran are not working. So there needs to be other avenues."

Amazon said it struck a distribution deal with JK Rowling's new website pottermore.com.
Amazon customers can search for the Harry Potter e-books in the company's Kindle Store, but will be directed to the Pottermore Shop to register and buy them, then add the titles to their Kindle library, the company said.
Users of Amazon's Kindle e-readers and Kindle Fire tablet will be able to read the e-books through those devices and through applications on other devices.
Barnes & Noble made a similar announcement, saying that customers of its Nook e-readers and tablets can buy Harry Potter e-books through the Pottermore Shop.
Sending customers away from Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble's website is a big concession for the companies because JK Rowling's Pottermore site will be able to collect customer information and credit card details. This is valuable information that e-commerce companies usually carefully guard.
"They are her customers now. She knows about them because they have registered with her site," said Mike Shatzkin, head of digital publishing consulting firm The Idea Logical Company. "It's a huge concession. Amazing."
The popularity of Harry Potter means JK Rowling likely had more leverage than other authors with companies like Amazon, he added.
"JK Rowling is the Beatles," Shatzkin said. "Amazon decided that having the Potter books to sell was more important than the control they usually insist on."
This suggests that publishers may struggle to negotiate similar e-book deals for other authors with retailers, he added.
Jim Friedland, an analyst at Cowen & Co, said Amazon likely accepted a smaller cut of the sale price of the Harry Potter e-books. The usual share is 30 percent, while Amazon likely accepted 20 percent or 10 percent, the analyst noted.
Despite that, there is little extra cost for Amazon to sell Harry Potter e-books this way. The deal may also encourage more readers to buy Kindle devices, Friedland said.
Foreign-language versions of the Harry Potter e-books will be available through Kindle Stores worldwide in coming weeks, Amazon added.
The Potter e-books are compatible with other digital platforms including Sony's Reader and Google's Play, Pottermore said in a statement.
"Not only is this phenomenally popular series available in eBook form for the first time, but across an extensive range of devices and platforms, thanks to unique collaborations with leading online retailers," Pottermore CEO Charlie Redmayne said.

Yesterface was inspired by my fascination with beauty's rich history and all its glamorous icons, including singer, actress and cabaret star Eartha Kitt who sang the enduring 1953 Christmas smash hit (and one of my favourite singles of all time) Santa Baby.
From her feline features to her striking name, everything about Eartha Kitt oozed charm, beauty and charisma. Kitt embodied a type of glamour specific to the 50s, where female Hollywood screenstars were feminine, dough-eyed and softly-spoken yet had an abundance of sass, humour and sex appeal too – Marilyn Monroe being an obvious example.
Kitt, who was actually conceived of rape, was of African-American descent on her mother's side and German on her father's. She spoke four languages, sang in seven, and was politically outspoken; her anti-war statements were met with extreme divided opinion in America.
When asked about the Vietnam War at a White House Luncheon, Kitt remarked to President Johnson's wife: "You send the best of this country off to be shot and maimed. No wonder the kids rebel and take pot." What a gal. She also became a vocal advocate for homosexual rights and publicly supported same-sex marriage. Cool just does not cover it when it comes to Kitt.
Before marrying, Kitt dated cosmetics magnate Charles Revson, who created and managed Revlon for five decades, and a banking heir (apt choices for someone who sang about wanting sables, yachts and Tiffany decorations). It was also alleged that Kitt had an affair in 1957 with Orson Welles who once called her "the most exciting woman in the world", but she categorically denied this in a 2001 interview with Vanity Fair.
Kitt eventually married real estate associate John William Mcdonald, with whom she had her only child, Kitt Mcdonald, but they divorced in 1965 and Kitt went on to have other lovers. During her long and successful career, the self-proclaimed sex kitten played the role of Catwoman and was also the spokesperson for MAC Cosmetics' Smoke Signals collection in 2007, for which she re-recorded "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes".
Eartha Kitt died from colon cancer on Christmas Day in 2008 at her home in Conneticut, a fitting date perhaps for somebody who sang one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time. But while she may be gone, every Christmas when Santa Baby comes on the radio I'm reminded of her unique voice, remarkable character and unforgettable beauty.

Ok… so like many of you out there in Internet-land you've probably read this article from the "Experts" at yahoo telling you that you should not rinse your dishes because it doesn't make a difference.
I don't know about their experts, but I'll go ahead and tell you that unlike them, I actually am an expert. I have 5 kids, the youngest of which is 18 years old. I've had them from birth to grown-up and we've had them all in the house every day. If you add the 2 – 7 kids they bring with them in the house at any given time we always have a TON of dishes.
That said the "Experts" over at Yahoo must live in wonderfully clean homes with maids and nanny's and new $5,000 commercial dishwashers. For the rest of us however, we have to fight and pull teeth with everyone in the house to put their dishes in the sink let alone the dishwasher and stuff might sit for a day before it gets washed – because after cooking for 1000 people you just want to go to bed and do the dishes in the morning.
The "Experts" at Yahoo say pre-rinsing doesn't make a difference and the avg dishwasher (modern) uses 5 gallons to wash your dishes vs. 27 gallons for you to hand wash them while the water is running.
I don't know about you but sometimes engineer's like Yahoo's "Experts" can be pretty stupid. If you have to wash your dishes 5 times in the dishwasher because you didn't pre-rinse them you are still using 25 gallons of water and it took 8 hours to do it. How is that better?
The answer is simple. Fill your sink up with warm water. Rinse your dishes, don't be afraid to use a scrub brush to get stuck on stuff off. Do it real fast, you don't have to get it clean you just have to get the big stuff off. Load your dish washer. Empty your sink. You don't have to worry about the dirty water in your sink the dishes are going to get sanitized in the dish washer. This is the best way to get it done right the first time without using 27 gallons of water. The reason I use a dishwasher at all is because pyschologically I feel better if my dishes go through the machine. I know they have been scalded with hot water for a period of time and that (I hope the engineer would be the expert on this one) because of that scalding they are safer and have less bacteria on them then if I did them by hand.
I don't know why Yahoo feels that an engineer is an expert in household matters. Engineers that make dishwashers know how to make dishwashers, that's great. It's clear they don't know how to wash dishes. (LOL!)
Anyway, in my Expert opinion this is the best way to do your dishes outside of hiring someone else to do them for you.

In the Nebraska spring game, Red inserted an undersized but plucky tailback by the name of Jack Hoffman for a crucial fourth-down carry. It's worth mentioning that Jack is 7 years old and has suffered from brain cancer, and because the good folks at Nebraska realize what a bullshit deal it is to be 7 and to have brain cancer, they did the one thing well within their power: They handed off to Jack and helped him take it 69 yards to the house.
This display of humankind's capacity for empathy and love alas inspired some lowlife to troll the video's page on YouTube (naturally). In fact, as of this writing, two people have seen fit to assign a thumbs-down to the video. The only upside to this sort of slurking is watching well-meaning Huskers fans fall headlong into this simplest of traps. Hereforth, decent human beings' comments in response:
Who downvotes this stuff? I almost teared up from joy seeing this!
Whoever downvoted this video needs to get a life!
how are there multiple dislikes??!?!?!? i mean really?!??!?
How the hell would you dislike this!?!?!
The two that disliked this video to to hell
Some people just have no class...or heart.
How could you make a bad comment on this?
What kind of sick fuck would thumbs down this video?
But, in case there was any question,
That was the most fucking cutest thing ive ever seen
Nebraska fans, just remember: Do not feed the trolls. Oh, and work on your secondary. It appears to have some serious holes.

PITTSBURG — The California Theatre is ready for a close-up.
A $7.6 million project to restore the beaux-arts theater on Railroad Avenue in Old Town to its former glory after years of neglect is nearing completion. It first opened in 1920 and served as a venue for vaudeville acts, silent films, live entertainment and Hollywood movies before closing in 1954.
To herald its reopening, there will be an opening gala on Jan. 19 with entertainment by the Junius Courtney Big Band featuring vocalist Denise Perrier, Pittsburg Community Theatre, the Black Diamond Ballet Theatre and other local entertainers. A video about the theater's history will also be shown.
The gala opening will provide an opportunity to showcase the building's new life following its restoration.
"We really want to put the California Theatre through its paces," said Jill Hecht, assistant to city manager Joe Sbranti.
Count Rosemarie DiMaggio among those who will be attending the gala.
"We've been waiting for this for years," said the 74-year-old Pittsburg native and resident and curator of the Pittsburg Historical Society.
She recalls going to the theater as a little girl during World War II.
"It was like going to Hollywood. It was something else," she said. "It was a small theater, but when you are little it looks big. On Saturdays, they had seven cartoons, and they had serials that continued every week. And on Sundays, what they always played was a double feature."
The idea behind the restoration work was to recapture the art-deco style and interior murals of the building, Hecht said. The architect was A.W. Cornelius, who also designed the Curran and Orpheum theaters in San Francisco.
The city purchased the building in 1970. Over the years, it fell into disrepair and sustained heavy water damage from leaks in its roof. In 2003, redevelopment funds became available for its restoration. Planning and design work commenced, and in May 2010 construction got under way, which included restoration, rehabilitation and seismic strengthening on the theater's main auditorium, which has seating for 300. (Work may commence on the balcony at a later time if funding is found.)
Old photos were used to help guide the restoration work. The glorious interior is painted in soft peach hues and features a stunning ceiling medallion for audience members to gaze upon. The original water fountain is in the lobby.
"We restored murals, we restored light fixtures and a chandelier, and uncovered some of the original medallion that was hiding behind layers of paint," said Dick Abono, project engineer for the city of Pittsburg.
Benicia artist Beate Bruhl helped bring the ceiling back to its original appearance while standing on a scaffolding platform during the painting restoration. On the building's exterior, Pittsburg sculptor J. Robert Greigo recreated lions' heads, arch features, urns and two life-size female sculptures on either side of theater.
Finishing touches are now being done and all the work should be completed by the second week of January, Abono said.
"It's taken a couple of years of hard work. It's kind of a labor of love for the people who have worked on it," said Rose Mary Tumbaga, of the Pittsburg Arts & Community Foundation, which is in charge of the opening gala.
While the theater will have its gala opening in January, other events and performances will not start until later in the year, Hecht said.
In response to a request from the city, potential theater operators have submitted proposals to manage the theater's day-to-day operations, which will include ticket sales and programming. The City Council is expected to select a theater operator in February.
Community groups will be able to work with the theater operator to develop programming and the operator will be receptive to ideas for events locals will be interested in paying to attend, according to Hecht. Some dates will be set aside each year for community events, including fundraisers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new hearing date has been set for a Virginia man accused of opening fire inside the headquarters of a conservative Christian lobbying group.
Online court records had shown a status conference for Floyd Lee Corkins II in Washington's federal court on Monday. But instead, Corkins will appear Oct. 26 for a new hearing.
Corkins is charged with shooting and wounding a security guard last month in the lobby of the Family Research Council.
Authorities say Corkins told the guard that he didn't like the group's policies before shooting him.
The guard survived and was able to help restrain Corkins, whom authorities say was also carrying sandwiches from Chick-fil-A.
The fast-food chain made headlines over the summer when its president affirmed his opposition to same-sex marriage.

Title I Part A, originally enacted in 1965, as part of the war on poverty to help the most disadvantaged students, is the largest federal investment in elementary and secondary education. Title I funding helps improve teaching and learning in schools with the highest concentration of poverty (based on the number of free/reduced lunch students at the schools) to help them meet challenging state academic standards.
Title I Part C (Migrant) provides supplemental educational and social services to migrant children and their families. At the preschool level, the focus is on language development and school readiness. Dropout prevention is the goal at the elementary, middle and high school levels. After-school tutoring, advocacy, counseling, social services and summer programs are provided. Parent involvement is a major focus.
Each Title I school develops a School Improvement Plan to improve the total school program after conducting a needs assessment and receiving input from the school staff, parents, and community. Each school's plan includes goals in reading, math, writing, and other subject areas. A School Improvement Plan is developed to improve the total school program after conducting a needs assessment and receiving input from the school staff, parents, and community. All of the school plans include goals in reading, math, writing, and other subject areas.
Increasing parent involvement is a major focus of all Title I schools. Each school has developed a compact-an agreement between the home and school sharing the responsibility to improve student learning-that defines their goals and expectations. Family Learning Centers are available at some Title I schools where parents can participate in parent workshops or receive one-on-one assistance and support. Many schools have a trained parent involvement liaison on staff to further assist families.
At the beginning of every school year, parents of students who attend Title I schools receive a notification (Right To Know Letter) informing parents that they have the right to request information on the professional qualifications of their child(ren)'s classroom teachers and paraprofessionals providing instructional support. In addition, schools must notify parents if their child is taught for four consecutive weeks (Parent Notification Letter) by a teacher who is not State-Certified.
Parents are encouraged to be active and involved participants in their child's education through participation in parent conferences, School Advisory Council (SAC), parent-teacher organizations (PTA/PTO), parent workshops, school events, volunteering, and other school activities.

Bride or Grooms Name:
Seattle is the center of a great, thriving metropolitan area that combines business, residence, industry, and nature – but it is only the center. Hundreds of thousands of people live, work, and get married in the suburbs beyond the city limits. If you're looking for a spectacular site for photos of your wedding day a little closer to where you live, without fighting the city's notorious traffic jams, here are some options to consider.
Just across Lake Washington from the city of Seattle is Bellevue Botanical Garden, a lush oasis in one of the city's biggest and fastest-changing suburbs. The garden, of course, changes every week; you and your photographer may need to plan in advance to take advantage of whatever is particularly blooming and beautiful on your wedding day. Try the Dahlia Garden for a riot of color against the bride in white and groom in black, or for a slightly more rugged backdrop, position the wedding party around the Alpine Rock Garden.
Another suburb that shares Lake Washington frontage with Bellevue is Kirkland, home to several lakefront parks with excellent photo possibilities. Marina Park offers a chance for the wedding party to pose in front of the sentimental bronze "Coming Home" statue, or the bobbing forest of boat masts at anchor, or at water's edge with a view of Seattle sloping down to the far edge of the lake.
For a slightly wilder look along the water, head north to Juanita Bay Park, which functions more as a wildlife preserve than as a pleasure zone for humans. There are boardwalks through the marshy areas to avoid damaging delicate shoes; this would be a great place to photograph a bride and groom who love the natural splendor of the Pacific Northwest.
While Seattle occupies the center of Puget Sound, Tacoma, near the southern end, is an independent metropolis that just happens to have a much larger city close by. The biggest concentration of natural beauty you'll find locally is in Point Defiance Park, 700 acres of forests, gardens, and spectacular views across the water to the Olympic Peninsula. The rose garden, the park's focal point, is an obvious place to shoot wedding photos, but give some consideration as well to Point Defiance Park's half-dozen other theme gardens. In particular, spend some time taking photos in the rhododendron garden, artfully entwined with old-growth forest, or use the waterfall and pond in the Northwest native plant garden as backdrops. For a really exotic photo setting, take the wedding party to the zoo and aquarium on park property and get some pictures of groomsmen and gorillas or bridesmaids and sharks.
Like every place in the greater Seattle area, Tacoma has plenty of natural beauty, but it also has some spectacular man-made photo settings. Your obvious destination point is the Bridge of Glass, a 500-foot pedestrian walkway over a busy highway designed by internationally known glass artist Dale Chihuly. Position the wedding party under the brightly colored and infinitely varied Seaform Pavilion, or have your photographer get a vertical shot around the base of the Crystal Towers. Depending on the photo angle, you can also capture the bustle and skyline of downtown along with the delicate, undulating glass artwork in this dramatic public space.
At one end of the bridge, you'll find the Museum of Glass, another destination rich in photo possibilities. Chihuly may be the most famous glass artist, but this cutting-edge museum shows that he's far from the only one. Get some photos of the wedding party on the rooftop plazas, where glass sculptures mingle with water displays and a reflecting pool under the sunny (or cloudy) Pacific Northwest skies. Your photographer can also get some dramatic effects by spacing the wedding party along the spiral staircase that winds up the steel-tiled cone at the center of the museum.
The mild, steady climate of the Seattle area lends itself very well to the mass production of tulips, daffodils and other bulb flowers. If you're planning a spring wedding (March and April are peak bulb season), you can get some gorgeous photos at bulb farms within a reasonable drive of Seattle. Drive north to Mount Vernon to find Roozengarde, home to a spectacular three-acre show garden of tulips and daffodils. Particularly when professionals grow them, these flowers are every bit as bright, showy and luxuriant as roses. Maybe they're perfect for the wedding ceremony as well, but fields of tulips are only one option for photos of your big day in greater Seattle.

Established in 1840 and intended for the British market – where a comic book featuring a character named "Mr. Punch" was in fashion – Don Manuel López, owner of the J. Valle y Cía, established the Punch cigar brand.
The comedian Mr. Punch, who wore an unmistakably sly smile and who always had a cigar in his hand, still adorns the box decoration of these outstanding Cuban cigars. The Punch cigar soon became a Habano of indisputable quality in the marketplace.
The tremendous popularity of Punch cigars amongst the British also trapped Sir Winston Churchill who gave into the temptation to visit the Monte y Zulueta factory during his stay in Havana. The British statesman ended up giving his name to a size of this brand. All the Punch cigars boast strong aromas of mainly fruity and woody tastes.

First, a note about the ricotta: The last time I needed a good, fresh ricotta, I was a little lazy and didn't plan ahead. This time, I thought to stop by Mandola's Italian Market which is only a few blocks from home. They no longer make fresh ricotta daily, but they will make it for you with 24 hours notice. I picked it up on Sunday morning, and it had just been made and was still warm. The chef screwed up and packed two pounds instead of one, so I was given an extra pound of fresh ricotta because it was my lucky day. Our Sunday breakfast included a treat of some still warm, very fresh ricotta on multi-grain bread, and after making the ravioli, there's still some left for another use.
When I realized my slip, feeling kind of stupid, I had a bite and discovered, oh yeah, this tastes great too. I kind of knew it would be good, but that first bite took me by surprise because it was even better than I imagined. The chives and parsley in the cheese mixture did their appropriate herbal thing, and of course the cheeses were excellent. And, browned butter never hurts. With the cheese filling, butter, and herbs, the beet flavor of the pasta was barely noticeable. But, when tasting a bit of pasta with no cheese, a subtle beet earthiness was there. It was definitely worth the trouble because the ravioli were even more delicious than they were pretty.

The arbotiX robocontroller is an advanced control solution for small-to-medium size robots. It incorporates a powerful AVR microcontroller, XBEE wireless radio, dual motor drivers, and 3-pin servo-style headers for IO.
The arbotiX robocontroller is specifically designed to control robots built using Bioloid servos, although it is also a very high-end solution for powerful rovers. It is not intended to be a drop-in replacement for a CM-5, rather it is intended as a high level development tool for building more sophisticated robots.
See the user manual here.
robocontroller Specifications
- 16MHz AVR microcontroller (ATMEGA644p).
- 2 serial ports, 1 dedicated to Bioloid servo controller, the other to the XBEE radio
- 32 I/O, 8 of which can function as analog inputs
- Servo style 3-pin headers (gnd, vcc, signal) on all 8 analog inputs, and 8 of the digital IO
- Dual 1A motor drivers, with combined motor/encoder header.
- XBEE radio sold separately. A typical setup will require 2 XBEE radios and an XBEE explorer to be able to wirelessly control your robot from your computer.
- This board requires either an FTDI cable or ISP. We recommend the Sparkfun FTDI breakout.
- 2.8"x2.8" with mounting holes designed to match many Bioloid configurations.
The arbotiX can be used with the Arduino IDE. We've also released open source library and sample programs to help with controlling Dynamixel AX-12 servos:
BioloidController - this is a Bioloid bus library for use with the Arduino/Sanguino environment. It allows easy manipulation of poses, the storage of poses in FLASH, and full interaction with AX-12 servos.
PyPose - this is the stock pose & capture software. Written in Python, uses pySerial to communicate with an arbotiX board running the pypose sketch. After you have done pose and capture, PyPose can automatically create a C header file with the poses ready to load with the Bioloid Library.
Other Libraries - there are several other, smaller, libraries that have been made to make using the arbotiX extremely easy.
See more on using the arbotiX software
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where can I get one?
A: The arbotiX is distributed exclusively through Trossen Robotics.
Q: How does the arbotiX compare to the Arduino?
A: The arbotiX is compatible with the Sanguino, the big brother of the Arduino. It uses a larger chip, the ATMEGA644P, whose most important feature is the second serial port. This second serial port allows us to use one serial port for the XBEE radio, and the other for controlling our Bioloid servos.
Q: Can I run my Arduino code on the arbotiX?
A: Maybe. It would depend on what libraries you have used. The core libraries of the Arduino environment have been ported to the ATMEGA644P.
Q: Can I use my arbotiX code on my Arduino?
A: Most likely no. The bioloid library depends on the second serial port existing.
Q: Why not just get a Sanguino?
A: The arbotiX is specifically designed for robotics. If you're like us, you don't want to spend hours soldering together a controller on perfboard. The arbotiX makes connections to most hardware simple.
Q: Is this board plug and play?
A: No. While there are libraries and sample code to show how to implement a robot, you will have to do some programming to make the robot work. This is not a drop-in replacement for the CM-5 Bioloid controller, this is a board for people who want to go beyond the CM-5.
Q: Can the arbotiX control a multi-legged robot built of traditional PWM servos?
A: No. The arbotiX is designed for controlling AX-12 Bioloid servos. It can control 2 traditional PWM servos using the hardware servo library, however control of more than 2 will require coding on your part. Additionally, you will need to sort out a way to provide power to your servos, since the onboard regulator that powers the analog and digital I/O headers only outputs 1A.

I am having problems with my dated NVIDIA GeForce 5200 AGP (128MB) card in my son's computer. Nothing past driver 8776 will work on it with any stability, and I cannot get 8776 to install on any kernel more recent than 126.96.36.199 (I tried symlinking /usr/src/linux-22.214.171.124/include/linux/autoconf.h to config.h in the same directory, as advised on one forum, but it made no difference). No changes I have made in xorg.conf have made a dent either – stability has become horrible with hardware acceleration enabled. AFAIK, everything else on the system is working fine, so I cannot blame any contributing factors on its apparent degredation.
Well, it _was_ a cheap card, and it held up pretty good over time. I am now shopping online for a 7300 GS AGP card – they go for about Y13,000 locally (maybe $110). I'll see if I can find one online for less. I found a card for my main system, but it is about $380, a supoerclocked 7800 GS AGP (256MB) from EVGA. I lust for this card.
So, I will wait for prices to drop a little over the next couple months before I go for that one.

From the Allergic Living archives. First published in the magazine in 2006.
It is known that teenagers with food allergies face the biggest risks of reactions of any age group. To understand what it feels like to be an adolescent with life-threatening allergies, Allergic Living and Anaphylaxis Canada held an informal discussion with six Ontario students. The participants proved insightful, opinionated and concerned about awareness. Moderators were Gwen Smith of Allergic Living and Adil Mamodaly of Anaphylaxis Canada. Following is the full transcript of the discussion that appears in the Fall 2006 issue ofAllergic Living magazine.
Profiles of the Participants
Julia, 16
- Grade 11
- Allergies: Milk and dairy, tree nuts; has asthma
- Lives in: Toronto
- Reactions: Has had more than 5 "Milk is in everything and hard to avoid; tree nut isn't as hard."
- Auto-injector: EpiPen in her backpack
David, 15
- Grade 10
- Allergies: peanuts, soy, raw apples; has asthma and oral allergy syndrome
- Lives in: Toronto
- Reactions: 3 anaphylactic reactions when younger, asthma sometimes flares
- Auto-injector: in his backpack, also carries puffer
Dylan, 16
- Grade 11
- Allergies: peanuts
- Lives in: Aurora, Ont.
- Reactions: None, but positive skin test and oral challenge at age 9
- Auto-injector: always on him
Jason, 18, Dylan's brother
- Started university this fall
- Allergies: peanuts, tree nuts
- Lives in: Aurora, Ont.
- Reactions: 1 severe, anaphylactic reaction: "It's not fresh in my head; I was 18 months old."
- Auto-injector: always on him
Gardner, 15
- Grade 10
- Allergies: peanuts, tree nuts, penicillin
- Lives in: Bowmanville, Ont.
- Reactions: 1 anaphylactic episode at age 1 1/2
- Auto-injector: clips on two-dose Twinject
Pat, 17
- Started college this fall
- Allergies: shellfish
- Lives in: Aurora, Ont.
- Reactions: 1 minor; throat tightened after eating shrimp. Skin test was positive.
- Auto-injector: only carries EpiPen when eating at restaurant
Gwen Smith: Are teachers and fellow students aware of your
life-threatening allergies?
Gardner: In senior public school, everyone knew I was allergic. You
go to high school, and only the same people know. And I don't really
tell a lot of people about my allergies. The teachers also know.
David: My close group of friends knows, that's probably it.
Dylan: In Grade 9, I didn't want to tell anyone, it was that fitting
in thing. But this year, I'm telling more people. I get paranoid some
days because I've been noticing more and more people eating peanut
butter stuff from the vending machines: Snickers bars or Reese's
Pat: People don't bring shrimp to school, so it really doesn't come
up, except when all my friends go to the Mandarin [restaurant], I
can't go.
GS: Have you noticed any change with the implementation of Sabrina's
Law in Ontario, which requires schools to have a plan in place to
protect anaphylactic students?
David: Absolutely nothing. If I were to ask anyone about Sabrina's
Law, I doubt anyone would know. I haven't heard a thing about it in
my school.
Jason: The only thing that changed is that the principal called me
down and asked me to bring an EpiPen to put in the school office. And
he asked everyone known to be anaphylactic to do the same. We all
kind of ignored it because there were a lot of us – two pages of
names – and how many EpiPens do they need in one office? There were
people I knew on the list that I didn't know had allergies – it was
really weird.
Usually I just let teachers know that I'm allergic and ask that if
they see people sneaking in food, to make sure that they're not
eating it in class. The main thing that concerns me is: was the
person sitting at the desk before me eating something.
Julia: My teacher knew about Sabrina's Law, so I asked if she was
going to inform other teachers. And she said, 'Do you want to help
me?' So [in November 2005] I had to talk in front of all the teachers
and tell them how to use an EpiPen and what symptoms to look for.
None of the teachers had been trained.
Also, I don't eat from the cafeteria; I bring lunch. I can't eat
what's in there with the cooking oils, cheese; there's so much
Gardner: My school is fairly peanut-free. Our cafeteria has a sticker
on it calling it a "peanut and tree-nut-free area". In February,
though, I started to get, like, severe paranoia. Every time I ate
something, even if I took a bite of stuff I brought from home, I
thought my throat was closing in on me. It got bad to the point that
I got scared off eating, so I don't eat at school anymore."
GS: Did it feel like a reaction?
Gardner: I don't know, because I've never had one [he last reacted as
a toddler]. I get up early and have a lot for breakfast and then eat
when I get home. I don't think it was too healthy, though, because I
lost about 10 pounds after starting high school. And then my system
got used to it and the weight got back up.
Adil Mamodaly: So what do you do at lunchtime?
Gardner: I'll still sit with my friends, and hang out, have a drink.
AM: Is there anything you'd like to see happen at your high school on
David: I would just like to see the principal make a reference to it
in one of her speeches because very few people know about it at my
school. If I were to ask maybe 200 kids, I'd be very surprised if
even 10 of them knew what anaphylaxis was.
Julia: For me, it's the follow-through. I did that teacher training,
I went away and now I'm regretting not following through. But I think
they should have followed through.
Jason: Yeah, the follow-through. They also hadn't talked to me [about
anaphylaxis] since. When there are people in your school who can die
that easily, it should be a pretty big priority.
Since I started going to high school, they hadn't mentioned it
[anaphylaxis] at all. Well, I had one teacher mention to the class
that I was allergic, but other than that, it was me mentioning it to
the entire class. There's a complete lack of awareness at the high
school level, as far as I can tell. The administration and teachers
might know about allergies, but they don't make sure the students
know. That would be the whole point – I don't hang out with the
principal at lunch, I hang out with my friends.
AM: Would you want the teacher to explain anaphlaxis in general or to
point you out?
Jason: I don't mind being singled out.
David: The more you can say about it (anaphylaxis), the better. I
don't care if you single me out. In fact, I'd encourage them to
single me out. If no one knows what's wrong with me and I'm on the
floor, nothing is going to happen.

Q: I'd like to build a pond but my soil doesn't hold water. What types of liners are there?
Jasper- Colrain, MA
A: If you have a natural- or clay bottom pond that doesn't hold much – if any – water, a pond liner may be your only leak-proof option. But before we outline the different types of liners you can use, let's first discuss what's currently in your pond.
Many ponds will contain some water. If your pond is more than 25 percent full and you want to install a liner, we recommend you either drain the pond before laying the liner or plan to put two feet or more sand or soil on top of the liner once its installed.
If your pond is less than 25 percent full, you have several liner options, which we've outlined below.
Liner Types
Two types of liners are used in pond and reservoir applications: poly vinyl chloride (PVC) and reinforced polyethylene (RPE).
- PVC is widely used in irrigation reservoirs, detention ponds and golf course ponds. PVC liner is very flexible and cost effective. When installing this type of liner, we recommend your pond's slope to be 3:1 for cover soil to stay in place, and we suggest you cover the liner with 12 inches of sand or clean soil to protect it from degrading in the sun.
- RPE is widely used for more durable applications for water activities or in areas that get a lot of wildlife visitors, like agriculture ponds, irrigation reservoirs and golf course ponds. As with the PVC, we suggest you cover the liner with one foot of sand or clean soil where liner could be exposed to sunlight.
Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) liners are mainly used in small water gardens. The synthetic rubber isn't durable enough to handle large applications like your half-acre pond. Stick with PVC or RPE instead.
Liner Thickness
In addition to coming in different material types, liners come in different thicknesses. PVC comes in 20 and 30 millimeter thicknesses; RPE comes in 30, 36 and 45 millimeter thicknesses. The higher the number, the more durable and puncture-resistant the liner.
If you have livestock, deer or other wildlife coming in the pond, you'll need at least a 30 millimeter RPE liner to withstand those hooves and claws.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
When you're ready to order your liner, get the measurements of your pond, including its length, width and maximum depth. Plug those numbers into an online calculator, and you'll find out what size liner you require.

You forgot to put they don't work as a comp in your con section.
1911 .45 Barrel Bushing Compensator, Blued - 1104834, Replacement Parts at Sportsman's Guide
i ordered one of these for my 7" barrel project from SMG.
the bad --
#1 made in CHINA
#2 the park finish is like they just put a little candle smut on it
#3 the part is oversized and undersized in every way -- the biggest PITA is the flange is oversized to the point it won't even fit the wrench!!!--
#4 the slots for the comp ain't cut even-- it is like they are slanted to the side-- don't know if it was made this way or what--
typical SMG/CHINA quality-- LOL!
now the GOOD
#1 the 1.25" length of the comp covers the 7" barrel on a 6" slide about perfect--
#2 the barrel bushing is a bit undersized so it fits undersized barrels like rotos about perfect ==
#3 the part of the bushing/comp that fits inside the slide is way oversized and has to be fit to the slide-- normally this would be a PITA but-- remember that wore out 1943 rand? this bushing comp fits that perfectly no slack and tight as a drum.
#4 the steel they used seems pretty strong , no flexing or deflection when the spring plug contacts the flange.
so in spite of it being a crude, china made part, it can be fitted and the oversized areas and undersized areas can be made to fit. they can be handy for tightening up a slide with a loose bushing slot and they seem to be a nearly perfect match for a ROTO barrel.
no i wouldn't put on on a storm lake-- but they seem fine for a roto--
being that the outside of the bushing is soo oversized --i even ordered another one for my 1943 remington--
You forgot to put they don't work as a comp in your con section.
yea but comps suck to start with-- probably better it don't work--lol--
