Welcome to the OWASP Education Project
Web Application Security Education and Awareness is needed throughout the entire organization, each area and level of organizations have specific needs and requirements regarding education. A manager needs other information than a security professional or developer. Novices to the profession require other training than people with several years of experience.
This Education project aims to provide in building blocks of web application security information. These modules can be combined together in education tracks targeting different audiences.
The first list of modules can be found here.
A Web Application Security Primer
We first start with a small project to create a slide deck of WebAppSec intro topics for newbie's. This can be used to bring OWASP chapter visitors up to speed on the topic.
Next to the slide deck we will create some sort of teacher manual with narrative text and maybe complement this with a WebEx (or other) recording.
After the material is created we will organize a 'teach the teacher' session to enable others to use this.
What should be part of this intro?
TOC proposal:
- Why WebAppSec & History
- OWASP Introduction
- Current Trends
- OWASP Top 10: Introduction & Remedies
- OWASP Top 10 2007: RC 1
- Embed within Complete Approach (People, Processes & Tools)
- Good AppSec Resources (not limited to OWASP)
We already have a large part of the above material; it's just a matter of restructuring and recompiling some stuff to a Newbie introduction track of about 4 hours.
Once we get this going, it can provide the base for more advanced tracks.
Goals & Roadmap
Currently the project goals are to create Educational Tracks:
- A Web Application Security Primer Track for beginners (4 hours)
- What developers should know on Web Application Security Track for developers (4 hours)
- Create a consolidation page of OWASP presentations performed in the past with the possibility to add comments
- ...
Further breakdown of tasks and future developments are listed in the road map.
Project Guiding Principles
This project aims to provide in building blocks of web application security knowledge that can easily be integrated in awareness sessions or presentations on this topic. The building blocks provided by this project can then be bundled together in eduction tracks.
An important guideline is therefore that the material produced is modular.
Resources and links
This project is not standalone. There is an awfull lot of information that can be found throughout this site and from other resources on the Internet.
This project will draw pieces of information from:
- The Video's
- The presentations, currently being inventorized in the consolidation page of OWASP presentations¨
- WebGoat
- ...
One of the modules to create will be a Resources module, not limited to OWASP.
Feedback and Participation:
We hope you find the OWASP Education Project useful. Please contribute to the Project by volunteering for one of the Tasks, sending your comments, questions, and suggestions to the mailing list.

How to make convenient and easy to use controls for action/arcade games (as well as other genres), is one of the most serious issues facing iPhone developers. Controls can make or break a game and despite the enormous variety of ways to interact with the iDevice (multitouch, accelerometer and even the compass in the 3GS), there is still no adequate replacement for the good old hardwired D-Pad.
Well, soon there may not be a need to reinvent the wheel. While Apple is making developers sweat over implementing workarounds, a small independent group of developers has set off to improve the built-in Bluetooth stack with the BTstack project. Of course it is only available to the Jailbreaking community, but before you slip off to read the latest review, take a minute to see what BTstack can do. With their recent update they have finally implemented full WiiMote wireless support!

GE Capital, General Electric's lending arm, recently stopped offering consumer financing programs to retailers whose main business is selling guns, in response to the "industry changes, new legislation and tragic events."
The move, said a GE Capital spokesman, expanded on a policy established in 2008. That year, GE Capital stopped offering new consumer financing for purchases of guns from gun shops, but existing relationships with gun shops were grandfathered in and those programs continued.
Fewer than 75 retailers are affected by the recent policy change, a fraction of 1 percent of gun retailers in the United States, said the spokesman, Russell Wilkerson. The terminated financing programs, as a business, were "immaterial" to the company, he said.
The lending cutoff applies only to retailers whose primary business is selling guns, Mr. Wilkerson said. GE Capital is still offering financing to other retailers who sell many different kinds of merchandise, including guns. Those retailers range from Walmart to sporting goods chains.
The change in GE Capital's lending policy to the gun stores was first reported on Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal.
The move by GE Capital comes in the aftermath of the school shooting in Newtown, Conn. General Electric, the giant industrial and finance company, is headquartered in Fairfield, Conn., and some employees have children in the Sandy Hook elementary school, where the tragedy occurred. Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook gunman, was the son of Peter Lanza, an executive at General Electric.

Lackey unable to cool off hot-hitting Orioles
Cardinals grab early lead, but new starter struggles to keep O's in yard
BALTIMORE -- The Cardinals' 20-game Interleague schedule concludes on Sunday, though the sendoff can't come soon enough for a club eager to seek safe haven in spacious Marlins Park next week.
This stopover at Oriole Park in Camden Yards has thus far been disastrous, with the Orioles muscling their way to a 10-3 victory with the backing of another three home runs on Saturday. That ups their series tally to nine -- eight different players have contributed -- and boosts their Major League-leading total to 147.
The barrage of blasts has put a stall on the Cardinals' quest to keep pace with the Brewers, while also showcasing how the Orioles have built a comfortable lead in the American League East. Baltimore has scored in 10 of 16 innings on offense while becoming the first team since Colorado in June 2009 to tally double-digit scoring efforts against St. Louis on consecutive days.
Seventeen of those 22 runs have come via the long ball.
"When you're in a place where the ball is jumping, there is an urgency for every pitch," manager Mike Matheny said. "They play to this park well right now. I know that's not something they've necessarily been doing all season, but right now they're feeling it. We're struggling to find it."
After teeing off against three Cardinals pitchers in the series opener, the Orioles had their way with former divisional foe John Lackey on Saturday. In one of the worst statistical starts of Lackey's 12-year career, he gave up nine runs in five-plus innings. He had allowed just seven in his last four starts combined and hadn't endured a nine-run outing since 2011.
"For the most part, I got my butt kicked," Lackey said. "I didn't execute enough pitches. I didn't pitch well enough. … I'm OK with not having more American League starts."
Seemingly unbelievable given the events of the last two days, the Cardinals entered this series with the distinction of having allowed the fewest homers (71) of any pitching staff in the Majors. That means that 11 percent of their season total has come in a two-day span.
Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph blasted the first one on Saturday with a two-run, second-inning homer that gave him a franchise record for most consecutive games (five) with a home run by a catcher.
Lackey, who opened the inning with a 2-0 lead, gave up three runs in the inning. He termed Joseph's hit as a "Baltimore home run," a swipe at the hitter-friendly dimensions in the Orioles' home park.
Nelson Cruz crushed his 30th homer of the season off a flat fastball in the third, and Delmon Young added a two-run shot in the fifth. It marked the 11th time in franchise history that the Cardinals have been stung for nine homers in a series -- and they are not out of it yet. The most recent two-day total of nine home runs allowed came back in May 2003, during a home series against the Pirates.
"We've faced their guy a few times because he was over in the American League, so that probably helps a little bit," Joseph said. "We knew that at some point this team was going to bust out."
The Orioles lead the Majors with 15 three-homer games this season. The Cardinals, in comparison, have had just one.
"This is a little different than Busch," said Daniel Descalso, who contributed a three-hit game in a rare start at short. "This is a little different than Busch. The ball carries well here. It's a fun place to hit in."
Matheny, wanting to limit the stress on his bullpen, tried to get Lackey to carry the game through the sixth. He couldn't. Three straight singles led to another run and Lackey's exit. Lackey, making his second start for the Cardinals since being dealt from Boston, had entered the day with a 3.64 ERA and eight home runs allowed in 12 previous starts at Oriole Park.
"When you have confidence going as an entire lineup, it doesn't matter who is pitching," Matheny said of the Orioles. "John went out there and worked and fought to keep us in there. They just kept swinging it."
The Cardinals' offense set Lackey up with an early lead, using Jhonny Peralta's two-out RBI double and Jon Jay's two-out homer to briefly go ahead, 2-0. Peralta's double nearly scored two, though Matt Holliday was thrown out at the plate to end the inning. The call was confirmed via replay.
The club would only score once more off Baltimore starter Ubaldo Jimenez, who had missed the last month due to a sprained right ankle. He had walked 60 in 99 2/3 innings before Saturday and walked two of the first three batters he faced in his return from the disabled list.
The Cardinals would walk just once more in Jimenez's six-inning start.
"You always hope for more," Matheny said. "We're not going out there to score one an inning. We're hoping for big innings, especially when we do see the ball jump. There was probably more [to be had], but we have to have those big hits in order for that to happen."

An electronic console normally used for switching between and/or combining audio from two turntables. Controls typically at least consist of: one cross fader for switching between and combining tracks, two up faders which control the volume levels of the seperate audio feeds, multiple equilizers on seperate channels for limiting the amount of bass, mid-range, and treble in the output, and a master volume control for limiting the mixer output. Mixers have been in use for decades and have become an essential part of DJing.

Looking for a local Easter egg hunt for your children? Or an Easter parage, Easter brunch or breakfast or other Easter events in Virginia? Just select your area in the list or map below.
February: Easter Sunday will April 1, 2018, so in 2018 most Easter egg hunts will be held on Saturday March 24, 2018 and some on Saturday March 31, 2018. ALWAYS click the links to check date and time with the event's own website, as there are often last minute changes due to weather or logistical problems, just click on the link to the event's website and (in most cases), you want to click on the "events" link or "calendar" link on their website. Or use their site search for "Easter". Do let them know you found them here, so they will update us next year. Since many egg hunts do not publish the current year's dates until the very last minute, we may not get their current information, which is why we have links to their websites, facebook pages and calendars. See their events calendar. There are also Easter breakfasts and brunches and Easter parades to watch!And if you are looking for local children's consignment sales, also often held by churches, click here!

There's no such thing anymore as just eating a steak. Was it grass fed? Did it have a hobby? Now, thanks to a group of Irish chemists, you'll never have to worry again about your Porterhouse's diet. Just your own.
Turns out that the proportion of stable isotopes of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and sulfur found in the posthumous muscle tissue and tail hair of cattle can tell you a lot about what animals ate before landing on your dinner plate—and in some cases, where they ate it:
Certain diets yielded a distinctive signature, the researchers report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. They couldn't tell between animals that ate from a pasture and those that ate grass silage, but there were clear differences between animals that ate pasture grass and those that ate concentrated food products. Using hair and tail samples, they could even follow changes in an animal's diet over the course of its lifetime.
I'd say that having that much info gives you an unfair advantage over your meal, but probably less of one than your steak knife and bib. [Eurekalert via Popsci, Photo credit: BinaryApe via Flickr]

Red Sox announce home opener schedule with festivities to start at 1 p.m.
The Red Sox announced their schedule for their home opener at Fenway Park on Friday, which will include the presentation of World Series rings. Festivities are scheduled to start at 1 p.m., with first pitch slated for 2:05 p.m. Here is the team's press release: The Red Sox open their 114th home season this Friday, April 4, with Opening Day festivities set to begin at 1 p.m. The Red Sox play the National League'ÂÂs Milwaukee Brewers at 2:05 p.m.
The pre-game ceremonies will include the presentation of the World Series rings, presented by Samsung, the performance of the national anthem, a helicopter fly-over, the Ceremonial First Pitch, and the call to 'ÂÂPlay Ball.'ÂÂ
The ceremonies will include a moment of silence in tribute to Lieutenant Edward J. Walsh and Firefighter Michael R. Kennedy, who perished last week when a 9-alarm fire raged through a Back Bay home a mile and a half from Fenway Park. The firefighters were from the station on Boylston Street that also protects the ballpark.
The singing of God Bless America in the middle of the 7th inning will be performed by the Boston Fire Department Quartet.
The Dropkick Murphys, along with Keith Lockhart conducting members of the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra, will perform during the ceremonies. Members of the Hanscom Airforce Base military will line the length of the Green Monster wall as the American flag drops for the anthem.
To maintain the Opening Day tradition of a fly-over at Fenway Park, the United States Coast Guard will fly a single MH-60T helicopter, representing all of our armed forces, at the conclusion of the national anthem.
In honor of the 2013 championship, players will wear special gold-trimmed Red Sox jerseys with gold stitching around the World Series Championship patch on the left sleeve, and around the letters and numbers on the front and back of the jersey.Fenway Park gates will open at 11:35 a.m., 2 ½ hours before the first pitch. For the rest of the regular season, gates will open 1 ½ hours before the game, except for Season Ticket Holders and Red Sox Nation members, who may enter at Gate C 2 ½ hours before each game. As always, and especially on midweek day games, the Red Sox urge fans to take the T. In addition to the familiar Green Line stops at Kenmore Square, the MBTA has also built a new Yawkey station for its Commuter Rail service.
The refurbished station, located just 511 feet from the doorstep of Fenway Park, now has as many as 40 scheduled stops per day, up from only 17 flag stops previously. Yawkey Station is part of the Commuter Rail'ÂÂs Framingham/Worcester line, which runs from Worcester to South Station. The last outbound train from Yawkey Station departs at 11:36 p.m. on weekdays and 11:10 p.m. on weekends. Departure times for the last train leaving Yawkey Station are subject to change based on the length of the game.

"Last issue we awarded Team Ninja's new game, Dead Or Alive 5, a healthy 8.1. This month, we caught up with the quiet, unassuming man behind the series (and the Ninja Gaiden games), and asked him - among other things - why he makes fighting games, how PS3's Uncharted series influenced Dead Or Alive 5, and whether or not the gaming media needs to grow up...", writes CVG.
Its amazing how Uncharted was able to take inspiration from a bunch of games and compile them into a package which then sees other developers getting inspired by Uncharted.
Naughty Dog are truly talented and deserve their props.
god i will hate the day Apple throws it's hat into the video game ring..
people being sued left and right and up the middle..
So Nathan Drake is actually a pair of boobies? Damn, the Unchartede series is getting crazier and crazier ;)
Wow, I know no one cares about this, but when I reviewed the game I said "This may sound crazy, but thanks to all the explosions and fancy camera work DOA 5 almost feels Uncharted-esque." It's amazing how Uncharted is inspiring games across genres.

Owners seek Daisy the Puggle
Staff Reports
A Carson City woman is putting fliers up across Western Nevada searching for a lost pug-beagle mix dog.
Skye Simpson was out in Carson Valley on July 4th hanging fliers with Daisy the Puggle's picture on them.
Daisy was last seen at Stewart in south Carson City. She got out of the yard on Monday.
She has a ping collar with a heart-shaped name tag rhinestones on it. The address on her collar is 1361 Thompson St. If you see Daisy or have any information on where she is, call Aaron Altemirano at 775-721-8778.
Simpson said people may also drop her off at 232 Delahedeh, which is where Simpson lives. Simpson's phone number is 775-220-9300.
Daisy requires her medicine. A reward is being offered for her safe return.

Pension Division and how our experts can help
When you open the morning newspaper, you tend to see a lot of time that the issue that is making the headline is a legal issue. It happens quite frequently.

We all know that no matter how much you and your partner try to win the legal case, inevitably, both will end up on the losing side.
What Mediators Do
When the situation is as sensitive as divorce or separation whatever you like to call it, a wise decision is to seek help from the mediators.
Mediation is a process in which even if you and your ex are getting separated, you will not lose anything. You and your ex will be able to give your relationship a new dimension.
While taking legal steps during separation period, you and your ex-partner tend to hold some grudges against each other, which is absolutely not called for.

Getting divorced is not only an emotional factor, but it also has some financial consequences as well. Thus, it is very much important to know the financial consequences once you get separated from your ex.
The financial assets accumulated by you and your ex will get divided according to the laws of your state. The assets acquired by you and your ex-spouse during your marriage will be considered as a joint marital asset and will get divided equally.
The division of other assets will be decided by the court.
Pension Splitting Old Trafford
One financial asset that needs to get divided in order to make your and your ex-spouse's future secured is the pension. In this regard, you should know that any pension earned by you or your ex will be considered as a joint asset.
Which pensions will get divided will be decided in terms of where you live in the United Kingdom.
If you are in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland, the total pension earned by you and your ex will get divided whereas if you are in Scotland that division will be based upon the total pension earned during your marriage or the time you two were together in your Civil Relationship.
Also, if you two had children then the division of pension plays a huge factor in their upbringing.
Role of Financial Advisors in Pension Splitting
Financial advisors play a huge in making the whole process of pension splitting smoother. They will guide you through every step and will make sure that you and your ex are satisfied with the division. Pension splitting can be complicated and confusing.

Turismo de Canarias
Natural pools in Agaete, Gran Canaria
Ana del Castillo
Cliffs and beach
- Wspólnota autonomiczna: Canary Islands
- Prowincja/Wyspa: Gran Canaria
On the northwestern coast of the island of Gran Canary stand the whitewashed houses of Agaete. Jagged crags of volcanic rock plunge into the Atlantic ocean creating spectacular cliff faces, while ravines jut back into the island's interior. The spring temperatures of the Canary Islands are more humid here, covering the entire terrain in lush vegetation and beautifully highlighting the contrast between the houses, ocean and mountains. A seafaring atmosphere, excellent beaches and a gastronomy without compare are other options this village provides.
The island of Gran Canary is said to be a continent in miniature because of the great variety of landscapes and the number of microclimates it possesses. The town of Agaete is a fine example of this orographical diversity since in only a few square kilometres, we can enjoy its beaches nestling between cliffs, the seafaring flavour of the Port of las Nieves, the historic heritage in town and the spectacular views which await us in its valley and ravine. Around the old seafaring enclave of Puerto de las Nieves there are spectacular beaches to suit all tastes. Some of them run in front of the promenade, where you'll find pavement cafés and restaurants to try the fresh fish. Other beaches are more isolated and nudism is common on them. Its marina makes it easy to do the most varied water sports. In the cliff area, where the crags of Faneque and Tirma meet the sea, stands the so-called God's Finger: a striking needle of volcanic rock which is separated from the shelf of the island. Hermitage of las Nieves In the Port of las Nieves you can visit the hermitage of the same name, built in the 17th century when Agaete was a strong sugar cane exporting centre. Erected around it are the fishermen's houses which gave rise to the current layout of the town. Inside, it houses a Flemish triptych of great historic value dedicated to Nuestra Señora de las Nieves. Between this port and the current town of Agaete you can see the Casa Fuerte, ordered to be built at the end of the 15th century to hasten the conquest of the island, and which was later the residence of the governor of these lands. Its historical importance means it has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest. And prominent in town, among the whitewashed houses, is the church of la Concepción. Rebuilt in the 19th century, its most characteristic features are the red stonework and the white wall faces. Next door you have the Huerto de las Flores, a delightful botanical gardens with more than a hundred species from around the world. Other emblematic places of interest are the City Hall and the current Municipal Arts Centre, both old mansions from the 19th century built by the island's middle classes. The pre-Hispanic legacy of the Gaunches is patently clear in the archaeological site known as the necropolis of Maipés. There are more than six hundred burial mounds here, which have been declared a Site of Cultural Interest and a Historic-Artistic Monument. Valley of Agaete The valley of Agaete, meanwhile, leads to the ravine of the same name. Hillsides covered in vegetation give way to tropical fruit plantations where the terrain levels out. The pine groves which follow frame the houses which arise at the edge of the ravine, as is the case of Los Berrazales (the site of a spring of medicinal waters) and Hornillo. In the wildest areas, the terrain is cut into artificial terraces to allow cultivation, on the very edge of precipices more than 100 metres deep. The rugged geography of the island of Gran Canary offers the traveller a great many landscapes in a small area. A large number of beaches are dotted all along the island's northern coast, while travelling inland will lead us to the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, passing interesting towns on the way. In Gáldar, the old Guanche capital, the aboriginal cave paintings of Cueva Pintada await you. In town, the most striking buildings are the City Hall and the church of Santiago de los Caballeros. The journey can continue on to Guía, famous for its cheeses and for the pre-Hispanic cave of Cenobio de Valerón. Pine forests escort the traveller until the Tile ravine, at the foot of Moya. La Caldera de los Pinos de Gáldar is the greenest area on the island and home to the volcano which dominates the entire nothern sector of Gran Canary. To see a fine exhibition of traditional Canary Island architecture we must continue on to Teror, site of the Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Pino, patron of the island. Outstanding in Arucas, meanwhile, are the basilica of San Juan and the Gourié Mansion. The Mountain of Arucas has excellent views of the coastline. Las Palmas Only Las Palmas de Gran Canaria remains on this northern route. Its chief points of interest are shared between Las Palmas and Puerto de la Luz. A colonial past mixed with the Guanche legacy and the fact that, like all the Canary Islands, it is situated only a short distance from Africa have made this a racially diverse city. There is a great variety of culture available in the beachfront area and around the port, excellent places to try the island's cuisine. Both Puerto de las Nieves and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria can boast the best fresh fish on the island. Their ports guarantee the excellent quality of this raw material for a great many tasty recipes. Local fish, such as jewfish grouper, sama, morena or vieja, form the main ingredient of roasts, stews or grills. "Papas arrugadas" potatoes, of an excellent quality and flavour, and "mojo verde" with coriander (a pepper sauce) accompany every dish. Watercress stew with roasted maize meal, roast leg of pork, Guía cheeses or local desserts will complete any tasting.

The Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria might seem like an odd venue to stage a call for resistance. Nine hundred people in tuxedos and gowns. Champagne and cocktails. Bill Cunningham snapping photos. This combination is generally more likely to coax a boozy nostalgia than foment a revolution. But the journalists honored last night at CPJ's annual International Press Freedom Awards had a clear message to their colleagues: Fight the power.
"A journalist who gives in to intimidation, who becomes obedient, has already lost the fight for that right" to freedom of expression, said Eynulla Fatullayev. This former editor of two newspapers in Azerbaijan was in prison when he was bestowed with CPJ's International Press Freedom Award in 2009. Fatullayev was put behind bars for successfully investigating the murder of a friend, colleague and government critic. He was kept in solitary confinement for two of his four years in prison.
Fatullayev emerged from prison undeterred. "The state's actions against me failed to shut me up and today I am determined to restart my newspapers."
The four journalists honored with this year's press freedom award made equally stark portraits of what it means to be courageous in the face of a brutal threat.
In the year of the Arab Spring, when thousands rose in protest against authoritarian governments, journalists became targets. Bahraini newspaper editor Mansoor al-Jamri told of the death of a colleague in prison, attacks to his printing press and a hate campaign launched against him by the official media. He resisted.
"I have been leading a recovery process so that we continue to perform our duty as journalists truthfully, and credibly report the events that matter," al-Jamri said.
"The people of Bahrain want human rights and democracy as much as anyone else," he said.
While millions of television viewers witnessed the toppling of governments in Tunisia and Egypt, a calcified dictatorship in Europe remained hidden in plain view. Last winter in Belarus, Natalya Radina, the editor of the independent news website Charter 97, was beaten and held in a KGB prison cell for more than a month. She was released on bail, and fled the country. She now edits Charter 97 in exile.
"We have the power to destroy the prison in the heart of Europe as well," Radina told the audience of journalists, media executives and press freedom advocates last night. "Please do not forget about Belarus."
In Mexico, where the drug war has claimed countless lives and all but silenced the press, reporter and editor Javier Valdez Cárdenas described living in a constant state of hyper-awareness: checking his rear-view mirror, going out alone so as not to endanger his family, losing sleep at night. But he remains dedicated to telling the stories of the powerless.
"I dedicate this award to the brave journalists, and to the children and youths who are living a slow death," Valdez, fighting tears, told the audience. "I have preferred to give a face and a name to the victims, to create a portrait of this sad and desolate panorama, these leaps and bounds and short cuts towards the Apocalypse, instead of counting deaths and reducing them to numbers."
Last night, no image of resistance was more vivid than that of Pakistani journalist Umar Cheema. Photos of a tormented man flashed on a screen above the room: His eyebrows shaved, his head battered and bald, the skin on his back striped and red, his eyes haunted. This is how the kidnappers left Cheema in September 2010 after seven hours of torture for his reporting on the government, threatening to destroy him if he ever told the media. It's not how he looked yesterday. As he crossed the stage in a shiny tuxedo to claim his award from David Rohde, he wore the smile of a man who prevailed.
"I can't finish without thanking my attackers," he said, "who helped me in discovering the strength of character that I possessed but didn't realize before."
In case there was anyone in the Grand Ballroom who thought the fight to tell the truth is no longer relevant here in the U.S., former CBS News anchor Dan Rather had breaking news.
"We are living in an age when big money owns everything ... including the news," said Rather, who last night received the Burton Benjamin Memorial Award for lifetime achievement in defending press freedom. "That cash bought a lot of silence for a long time. Enough time for unchecked power to get this country tangled into messes all around the world."
He called on his colleagues to restore the media to its role in service of the public, to once again ask hard questions, give megaphones to whistleblowers, and demand access to those who challenge power as well as those in power.
"As the people of our nation begin rising up in concern about the economy and where the country is headed, they expect the business of the news to be about inquiry and accountability," Rather said.
"Tonight, if I can convince you of anything, it is to buck the current system."

Can I change the design of the dress?
At this time, we are unable to make changes to the designs of our dresses, such as adding/removing a slit, adjusting the length of a knee-length dress to floor-length, or adding sleeves. If we were to make a change to the pattern or design of a dress, it could negatively affect the quality of the design.
Can I order this dress in a color not listed?
Because some of our fabrics take on dye a bit differently, we're not able to offer all of our fabrics in every color. If the color you're looking for isn't listed on the dress order page, it means we're not able to make it in that color. We recommend checking some similar styles.

Gladiators of Global Rallycross Primed for Battle in Saturday Doubleheader at Bristol Motor Speedway
Outfitted to withstand 70-ft. jumps yet still capable of rocketing from 0 to 60 mph in just under two seconds, Global Rallycross Super Cars are set to launch from the Bristol Motor Speedway starting line on Saturday in what drivers are confident will be an impressive show.
"Everything is so close," said current Rallycross points leader Toomas Heikkinen. "This is a great track. It's going to be a really great race."
The series inaugural trip around the World's Fastest Half Mile features a custom-designed course which challenges drivers to pilot their cars on both dirt and concrete while navigating drift turns, jumps and water elements.
"I saw when we drove in today that you call this place the Last Great Coliseum," said Olsbergs MSE team owner Anders Ericksson. "It's fitting. These guys are gladiators."
The warriors of Global Rallycross are featured in this weekend's doubleheader at BMS. Beginning at 2:30 p.m. with the Monster Truck Pit Party/Global Rallycross Paddock party, fans get up-close-and-personal with the stars of the sports and their awe-inspiring machines.
At 4:30 p.m., Global Rallycross takes to the track and after competing in a series of elimination heat races, ten drivers will battle in a winner-take-all final to determine the Bristol's GRC champion.
Following GRC action, some of the biggest names in monster trucks rumble into the Bristol Motor Speedway bull ring, pulverizing any obstacle in their way during the Thompson Metal Monster Truck Madness presented by Beef O'Brady's. Bigfoot, War Wizard, Samson, Stone Crusher and more will race around the infield during two qualifying rounds and eliminations. After a racing champion is crowned, the trucks return for everyone's favorite event - freestyle, where drivers perform stunts and moves you never thought possible.
In addition to the thrill of freestyle, the night's action also includes high-flying stunts from motocross Team FMX as well as crowd-favorite Megasuarus's transformation into a fire-breathing, car-crunching machine.
After the trucks and Megasaurus finish leveling the course, spectators may re-enter the pits for a post-event party with the drivers.
Tickets to experience this one-of-a-kind show are just $25 for adults and $5 for kids 10 and under so CLICK HERE or call (423)-BRISTOL and reserve your seats today.

Edible flowers are wonderful decorations for cakes, cupcakes and more. I made these gum paste flowers for the bottom tier of a wedding cake, and I love the vibrant colors. Gum paste flowers are easy to create and make a big impression. Keep reading for a step-by-step on making the yellow Gerber Daisy in this photo. There are so many different techniques for making beautiful edible flowers, and I am excited to share my tips on making this simple and sweet yellow Gerber Daisy.
To make this sunny yellow Gerber Daisy, start with some bright yellow gum paste. I make my gum paste by simply adding Tylose powder (1.5 tsp per pound) to my fondant. I generally add the Tylose after I have mixed my color into the fondant, but you can add the Tylose to uncolored fondant and then color it as well. The color used to make this vibrant shade of yellow is AmeriColor Lemon Yellow. Once you have your gum paste colored, you need to roll it out to about 1/16″ and cut out the flower shape using the largest cutter from this daisy cutter set. I like to use my small fondant rolling pin with the pink bands for rolling out gum paste; it makes it easy to get that perfectly uniform thickness that you need when working with small detailed items like flowers. Once you have your flowers cut out, place them gently into your flower forming cups. These cups help your flowers to form into a natural cupped shape while drying. If you don't have flower forming cups, not to worry, you can use a regular drinking glass. Just cover the top of the glass loosely with plastic wrap and then push down lightly to create a little hammock for your flower.
To make the small feathered petals that surround the center of the flower, use the smallest cutter from the Wilton fondant daisy shapes cut out set. Roll your gum paste as thin as possible to make these shapes. Cut the six-pointed flowers in half and then cut each point down the center to make two points.
Push the outside points of the cut flowers inward so that the little petals are bunched together. For the base of the Gerber Daisy, stick two large daisy cut outs together, using a bit of water, so that the petals are staggered. Now you are ready to stick the feathered petal pieces to the rest of the flower.
Use a tiny bit of water to stick the feathered petal pieces to the center of the flower. If necessary, use small pieces of parchment paper between the top and bottom daisy cut outs to keep the flower petals from sticking to each other while drying. The parchment can also help add dimension and texture to the flower. Stick a few pieces of parchment between the petals and remove them once the flower is dry.
Continue to work your way all around the center of the daisy until the tiny petals make a full circle.
Continue adding more small feathered petals until you have several layers of texture. There are three full circles of feathered petals on this flower.
For the center, roll a small ball of dark brown gum paste and flatten the ball into a small circle. To get the texture shown on the center of this flower, press the gum paste circle against the bottom of a medium sieve. The harder you press, the more pronounced the texture will be. Luckily if you overdo it, you can just re-roll the ball and try again. Attach the center using a dab of water, and your sunny yellow Gerber Daisy is complete! Experiment with different color combinations and designs. The fun thing about edible flowers is that there are no rules! You can make them look as realistic or whimsical as you like, so just have fun!

Calling Lena Dunham a "little fat chick" might have been the smartest move Howard Stern's made in the last several years. Not only did his remarks get repeated by Ms. Dunham while she was on Letterman on Friday, but his very public apology on Monday gave him some extra leverage to pull the Girls creator and star (and recent two-time Golden Globe winner) onto his program today.
Here's what went down.
Stern lavished her with praise: "I realize: not only am I addicted, but I totally get you. I'm in love with you and your character."
… but refused to "apologize" for his weight comments: "It's not about apologizing, although I want to say I'm a fan of yours … I love you and I think you're terrific."
Lena insisted she supported Howard, despite the negative comments: "I'm a big fan of your particular brand of free speech."
There was a little scuffle over word choice when describing her body:
Dunham: "I'm not super thin, but I'm thin for, like, Detroit."
Stern replied that she wasn't "obese or anything," then realized his terrible choice of words.
Dunham: (laughing) "Howard Stern says I'm 'not obese or anything' … I appreciate it and I appreciate your effort to rectify [this], but whether you'd done that or not, I'd have remained a [Howard Stern] enthusiast."
Now it's time to talk about Donald Glover and race!
Dunham: "Donald was an actor we always wanted to work with. On HBO, you have 10 episodes. You start with 10 episodes. And it takes you a while to set up your world, to set up your main characters … While I understand the criticism, I felt like we had had only 10 episodes to dig in."
As for the idea that her show was "too white"? "[Diversity on television is] a conversation that needs to happen. I'm glad to take one for the team."
Mr. Stern admitted that he hadn't watched enough episodes of Girls when he made that initial comment. But even last week he had begun changing his mind…specifically once he started a man-crushing on Adam Driver's character in this scene from Season One:

RME Digi96/8 Pro computer soundcard
Pro Digital Audio
The Digi96/8 Pro is a small printed-circuit card that fits in one of the PCI slots in a PC or a Power Mac. It was recommended to me by a Swiss programmer, Hans-Peter Widmer, who has developed a suite of FFT-based audio measurement tools (footnote 1) that make use of it. As well as using it to evaluate the Widmer software, I found the RME card an excellent way of adding digital audio to my PC.
The Digi96/8 Pro is a development of an earlier RME card, the Digi96 (no longer available), which offered just digital I/O. The Pro adds a 96kHz-capable unbalanced stereo analog output, on a standard tip-ring-sleeve ¼" jack. (The tip is the left channel, the ring the right.) The analog section is specified as using 20-bit DACs, and a rear pushbutton switches between a full-scale output of +4dBu or -10dBV. Additional 6dB attenuation steps are available via the driver program, and the latest version of the card offers a stepless, software-controlled volume control to make it easy to set playback level for headphones.
A full complement of digital inputs and outputs is available—TosLink optical, S/PDIF electrical, and AES/EBU electrical—with the electrical data interfaces transformer-coupled to separate the computer's noisy electrical ground from the ground of the downstream playback gear. Because of the lack of real estate on the slim card panel, the electrical I/O is via a miniature D connector; also supplied is an adapter with short flying leads terminated in RCA in-line jacks and male/female XLRs. The optical I/O can be used to send audio data to and from an 8-track ADAT MDM recorder, and convert between ADAT and S/PDIF formats. The Digi96/8 Pro can also handle a non-audio bitstream, such as a Dolby AC-3-encoded 5.1 soundtrack.
For monitoring while recording, the Digi96/8 Pro offers "zero latency," ie, no time delay, this achieved by hard-switching the digital input data to the output. The card also offers what RME calls "Enhanced Full Duplex" operation, in which simultaneous record and playback are possible, even if the input and output data have different sample rates!
Installation & Setup
Installing the Digi96/8 Pro was painless; Windows 98's plug'n'play wizard recognized the new hardware and installed the driver. It was then just a matter of selecting the RME card's digital I/O as the preferred Record and Playback devices in the Windows Control Panel's Multimedia menu. Every time the computer is turned on, the RME card performs a hardware self-test.
RME Driver software (v4.4) setup screen
On rebooting the computer after installation, a small green icon appears on the task bar; a single click opens the card's control panel, shown in the screen shot. At the top left of the screen is a self-explanatory section for selecting the digital input. When AutoSelect is on, the card switches between its inputs every half-second, stopping when it finds a valid signal. (A red LED on the card's panel lights up until lock is obtained.) The format of the data found on the chosen input is shown at the bottom left of the display. When set to Automatic, the output monitors either the digital input or—if Play is selected on the chosen audio program—the internal data playback. (To us old guys with memories of three-head tape decks, the monitor switching is intuitive.)

Moscow, June 13, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists is deeply disturbed by reported threats against Sergey Sokolov, deputy editor of the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, by Russia's top investigating official, Aleksandr Bastrykin.
"Novaya Gazeta, through its award-winning critical coverage, has made many enemies in Russia and has paid the highest possible price--five of its journalists have been murdered," CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. "It is absolutely unacceptable that Russia's top investigating official would threaten the life of a journalist in clear response to his critical writing. We call on President Vladimir Putin to order an independent review of this alleged misconduct."
Dmitry Muratov, editor of Novaya Gazeta, wrote in an open letter, published in Novaya Gazeta today, that Bastrykin invited Sokolov on June 4 to join him on a flight to Nalchik, the capital of the North Caucasus republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. Once in the city, Bastrykin took Sokolov to a meeting, where he reportedly demanded an apology from Sokolov for an article he had written that was harshly critical of Bastrykin's and other law enforcement's alleged misconduct in a criminal case, the letter said. Muratov wrote that Sokolov apologized for the emotional tone of the article, but did not apologize for its content, which caused Bastrykin to reject the apology and demand that the journalist leave the room.
The letter said that when the group returned to Moscow, Bastrykin's guards put Sokolov in a car and drove him to a forest outside of the city. Muratov wrote that Bastrykin asked his guards to leave them alone, and then threatened the journalist's life.
"We are outraged not only by this alleged threat, but also by what it bodes for the investigations into the cases of the many murdered journalists in Russia," said Ognianova. Twenty journalists have been murdered in direct retaliation for their work in Russia since 2000, with 18 cases remaining unsolved. This record has earned Russia ninth place on CPJ's 2012 Impunity Index. A CPJ delegation met with Bastrykin to discuss this record of impunity in September 2010.
Novaya Gazeta is known for its investigative reports into official corruption, human rights abuses, and government wrongdoing, according to CPJ research. The paper's staff has repeatedly been targeted in the past. In the most recent case, Elena Milashina, a special correspondent for Novaya Gazeta, was attacked outside her home in April, CPJ research shows.

If this sounds even half-decent, I could see it being perfect for college kids or really broke grad students. Most kids will probably have a crappy all-in-one bookshelf system or maybe and iPod doc with an aux in they couse use initially to get the general idea. That's a $250 cover charge. Not a crazy barrier to entry at all! Two words: gateway drug.
U-Turn Audio Orbit on Kickstarter
U-Turn Audio is funding their project through Kickstarter and hopes to raise $60,000 by Monday, January 21, 2013. As I write, 90 backers have pledged $15,666. (Is that a multiple of 33.3?)
Visit U-Turn Audio's Kickstarter page for more info.
Some may argue that, even if U-Turn Audio reaches their goal, the company will face a difficult challenge in matching the performance of well-established entry-level turntables such as the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon ($399), Rega RP1 ($445), and Music Hall MMF-2.2 ($449), but I would argue that at just $150, the U-Turn Audio Orbit doesn't have to compete with those models.
Don't forget: To the person on a strictly limited budget, there is an enormous difference between $150 and $400. The U-Turn Audio Orbit, therefore, merely has to be better than the plastic USB turntables currently flooding the market. I think it stands a chance.
I think the turntable pictured has an upgraded platter. I wasn't able to tell which platter comes with the $150 model. Maybe MDF?
........deleting my on topic post while letting your resident trolls ChrisS and Reagadude spew their crap on all the other threads on here. Pathetic much? yes you are Stereophile.
I suppose any criticism about a product, even if it isn't in production yet is a no no. Silly me for presuming I could speak about it unless I'm on the cheerleading squad.
Thanks for deleting my on topic post...
It wasn't on-topic, and you have been warned that when you post flames, I will delete them without notice. I have also today deleted similar posts by RegaDude and ChrisS.

Editor, Stereophile
I think their goal is a noble one and I applaud them. However, a second hand Rega or Project is going to be major competition and more importantly they are a one trick pony. I remember a company called Revolver in the 80's that came out with a very good and affordable turntable but that is all they made and couldn't compete with the likes of Rega who had diversified into other products. I wish them well I really do but I wonder if the same might be at play here.
I don't know if the Orbit is "the motherlode" but any outfit who highlights the Pixies has more than a clue about how to present good music and I wish them well. (Don't try and work through the logic. Just go with it.)
the price has risen to $179, and the warranty is alarmingly short at 90 days. the Pro-ject Debut Carbon at $399 with a 2 year warranty seems to be the much better option

The DVLA has released images of some of the scam messages sent to drivers by criminal gangs trying to rip them off.
Fraudsters regularly target British motorists with fake messages in efforts to steal bank details from the unwary.
The messages usually come as text messages or emails, claiming to be from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency and often relate to vehicle tax.
In an effort to help drivers spot and avoid the cons, the licensing agency, tweeted a selection of the most recent messages.
Threatening fines
Some claim that a motorist's latest car tax payment is overdue or has failed due to a problem with incorrect bank account details, threatening that this is their "last chance" to pay and avoid a £1,000 fine. They then contain a link to a fake DVLA website where victims are asked to make a payment or enter their bank details.
? #SCAM WARNING: we don't send texts or emails about a vehicle tax refund.
If you get one of these, it"s not from #DVLA.
Just delete it.? https://t.co/X5RpAUXvU3 #beawareofwhatyoushare pic.twitter.com/edyLsrmil4

Other message take the opposite approach and inform the driver that they are due a car tax refund but again contain a link to a phishing website designed to steal their bank details.
The DVLA says it never contacts drivers regarding payment information via text or email and drivers should ignore any such messages.
A DVLA spokesman said: "We don't send emails or text messages that ask you to confirm your personal details or payment information, such as for a vehicle tax refund. If you get anything like this, don't open any links and delete the email or text immediately.
"The only official place to find our services and information is on gov.uk."

He also warned of other third-party websites either trying to steal drivers' details or charging fees for services which are free through the official DVLA website.
The spokesman added: "To try and pass themselves off as genuine, these sites might include 'DVLA' in their web address (URL). They might also design their site to appear as if it's DVLA – for example, using DVLA's old 'green triangle' logo, which we no longer use.
"Don't be fooled by these sites – even if they appear at the top of search engine results. Always double check you're using gov.uk."
