I haven't either. But for there to be decent documentation (or documentation at all) there has to be someone who understands the subject; and for XKB I'm not sure that such a mythical creature could even exist.
I've been wrong before though. Does anyone here know of anything decent, that goes a bit, or a lot, deeper than the usual "dead keys HOWTO"-style stuff?
Ideally, I'd like to know enough to be able to delete everything XKB related from my system and write a keymap definition completely from scratch; and/or doing stuff that "nobody" needs to do, like changing in which way Caps Lock or Num Lock affects what group of keys, etc.

Yes, but I would try to keep them syntactically valid at least, as it would reduce confusion and increase recognition. Otherwise we are going to find annotations with dc:format "html". text/plain should also be a well known media type. Same argument goes for the datetime example - by just showing a proper timestamp with the correct ^^ XSD type, you should recognize the syntax, and we reduce the chance that we will find various unparseable datetime formats and lack of literal types (as you will find in the wild for any of the dc:date properties). We are after all giving examples here, not specifying an abstract template. -- Stian Soiland-Reyes, myGrid team School of Computer Science The University of ManchesterReceived on Monday, 28 January 2013 10:06:38 UTC

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the final installment of a six-day series on ways local residents are reinventing themselves in hard times.
Aneclectic employment background, wide-ranging interests anda desire to explore new possibilities led former Britt Festivals Executive Director Rick Hood to seek outside insights while searching for his perfect career fit.
Hired in January 2007, Hood, 57, an ex-ballet dancer with a master's degree in business administration from Harvard Business School and a dozen years working as a financial wizard for Charles Schwab, said he and the Britt Festivals board came to a mutual agreement in April that he would move on.
Eight months later, after considerable debate and reflection, he's returned to the financial services field.
While he considered his career path, Hood and his wife, Leigh, were determined to stay in the Rogue Valley — an area they'd visited on a whim four years ago and had quickly fallen in love with, he said.
"We really like the seasons, the outdoors and the sense of wildness. Spring is just gorgeous," said Hood. "The people are great here. We have great friends in San Francisco, but we don't have nearly the sense of community down there."
The troubled economy and specific geographic restrictions would create unique challenges, Hood suspected.
After years of one job simply leading to the next, the pause in the momentum of Hood's career path "gave me the opportunity to think about 'What is it I want to do?' " he said.
Seeking some experienced but dispassionate input, Hood called on a friend, Stuart Meyer, to help him figure it all out.
A business coach and career consultant, Meyer, 50, works with individuals to align their passions with their strengths. The former corporate executive splits his time between Ashland and Silicon Valley, Calif. He has clients that include Google, Symantec, Harry & David and Lithia Motors, Meyer said.
"Stuart provides objective reflections," said Hood. "He helps you look back, look inside and look at what you've done with your life. He helps you re-evaluate all the things you thought you knew. And he presented me with an opportunity to learn about where I can and need to grow."
Meyer and Hood began meeting in June. At first, the work was all about assessment, said Meyer. He wanted to know Hood's passions, interests and strengths, and then see where they intersected. One of Hood's passions is landscape design, which reflects his artistic side. But as they walked through the steps necessary to make his dream a successful career, Hood realized this particular passion was best kept as "an avocation, and not a vocation," said Meyer.
"The state of Oregon requires you to pass five exams to accept a dollar to put a plant in the ground," said Hood.
New opportunities in the financial services arena led Hood back to his strengths in financial advising, Meyer said.
"Rick is very good at building relationships and trust," he said.
Meyer said a key to finding a fulfilling career is to target the companies you would like to work for, then be proactive. Approach them with a great plan and pitch for employment.
"Be prepared for a strong interview," said Meyer. "Be proactive where you think your talents are most valued and approach those organizations even if they don't have a posted job."
The Savant Group out of San Francisco had several clients in the Rogue Valley, said Hood. Lunch with one of them led to a contact with the group's founder, Tom Burkhart.
The late-September meeting was serendipitous, said Hood.
"I realized the opportunity I had encountered with the Savant Group was absolutely superb," said Hood. "It coincided with the fact that (Burkhart) was excited about his clients in the Rogue Valley and the opportunity for growth."
The group has clients across the United States, and now Hood is their Medford/Ashland representative. Hood was setting up his home office this week in Ashland and expects to be on the job beginning Monday.
The Savant Group is best suited for the long-term investor. A minimum investment of $500,000 is required, but family members or small groups can combine their funds to create the amount necessary, said Hood.
"(The Savant Group representatives) take a great deal of time with their clients," he said.
Every class of investor took a hit in 2008, from the "hot dot" chaser to those with a "401(k) that's now a 201(k)." But investors with diverse portfolios like those offered at Savant "suffered a lot less than those who wanted to get rich quick," Hood said.
"The proof is in the pudding," he said.
For Meyer, the proof of his success is seeing his clients transition into a new and satisfying career — even when their path leads them back to the future. Hood is again working in the financial services field. But he's doing so with a renewed interest, and in a location that suits his passions.
"Some people choose to do similar things like what they've been doing. Other people make significant changes," said Meyers.
Hood can be reached at email@example.com. Meyer can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I ordered a large, but it was too small for me, especially if I wanted to wear it over a sweater. I ended up sending it back.
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Central WI fisherwoman from WI on Tuesday, January 6, 2015After much agonizing have to send it back. The fit is snug. I ordered a large and I am a solid size 12 in ready wear but jacket would be too tight if I had a heavier sweater underneath. Being a seamstress I figured I could revamp the hood so it didn't look so unwieldy but nope that was not to be. I love the plaid and red is my color but alas back it goes.

Justin Verlander turned in a great performance to beat the Toronto Blue Jays. He hasn't been the same Verlander we've seen in years past this season. Some thought it could have been the big contract extension the Tigers gave him before the season started.
People were left wondering if Verlander was another case of a guy getting paid and then not performing to the level that got him to the top money. Verlander has suffered this season, even though he has 9 wins this season he hasn't been able to dominate hitters like he did in past seasons.
Justin Verlander threw a good game and he held the Blue Jays to only three hits all singles. "He threw exceptionally well," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said "He looked like he was in command the whole game."
That is something the Tigers manager hasn't been able to say much this season about Verlander. The guy has struggle to stay in control in most of his outings this season. Verlaander is a guy who usually gets stronger as the game goes on.
Yesterday he was able to do that for the first time since early June. Now the question becomes if he will be able to repeat that kind of performance in the second half of the season. The Tigers are going to need him to perform at that kind of level as they get closer to post season play.
It may be too early to say Justin Verlander is back.

LSC-PA gets third recruit
Published 12:44 pm, Monday, July 8, 2013
If heritage is any precursor for future success, the Lamar State College-Port Arthur basketball team is getting a winner in sophomore guard David "D.J." Blanks.
Blanks played at St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School in Akron, Ohio, the same high school as 2013 NBA MVP LeBron James. During his senior season at SVSM, Blanks averaged nearly 20 points a game and as a junior, he helped lead his school to the 2011 Division II Ohio state championship. He played for the King James Shooting Stars AAU team throughout his prep years.
Blanks is transferring from Glenville State University, a NCAA Division II program in West Virginia, where he averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 assists and 4 rebounds in 21 games. He was also named to the WVIAC All-Freshman team and was the recipient of the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, awarded to any student-athlete who maintains a 3.0 or better grade point average during the fall and spring semesters.
The Hawks lost three sophomores to graduation and Blanks represents the third recruit to sign with the team so far in the off-season. Jovan "Jo-Jo" Mooring of Illinois and Eric Dunham of Missouri signed earlier this summer. Both are point guards.

For Rodriguez, Opt-Out Controversy Has a Way of Sticking Around
By JACK CURRY
Published: April 2, 2008
Alex Rodriguez called his off-season ''the greatest opt-out in the history of baseball,'' but he said it sheepishly, not proudly. Rodriguez used words like ''chaotic'' and ''whacked out'' to describe how he went from opting out of his last three years with the Yankees to eventually returning to them.
In the end, after Rodriguez's initial decision was disclosed during the decisive World Series game, after he angrily broke with Scott Boras, his agent, and after he made peace with the Steinbrenner family, he returned to the Yankees for a 10-year extension that could pay him more than $300 million.
''It's behind me,'' Rodriguez said. ''You look in the rear-view mirror and it feels like it's been years passed, and it's only been a few months. But that's a good thing.''
Good things continued for him as the Yankees began their season by silencing the Toronto Blue Jays, 3-2, at Yankee Stadium. Rodriguez doubled off Roy Halladay to drive in the first run of the first inning and singled and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh. Rodriguez made the first game of 2008 feel like so many games from 2007.
''For me,'' Rodriguez said, ''I feel like it was Game 163.''
As Rodriguez spoke happily about being ''more integrated'' with the Yankees than ever before, he acknowledged that there will be some residue that sticks to him because of how messily his situation unfolded.
Some of that residue is peeling off. Two people connected with the Yankees said Boras told the team that Detroit was prepared to overwhelm Rodriguez by offering him $40 million a year. The Tigers said that was untrue.
Boras, who has a strong relationship with Mike Ilitch, the Tigers' owner, brokered deals with Detroit for the free agents Iv?Rodr?ez, Magglio Ord? and Kenny Rogers. All three players received more lucrative contracts from the Tigers than they had been offered elsewhere. Since those players helped Detroit reach the 2006 World Series, Ilitch must consider the Boras collaborations prudent.
In addition, the Tigers acquired third baseman Miguel Cabrera from the Florida Marlins in December (two weeks after Rodriguez agreed to re-sign) and invested $152.3 million in him last week. Presumably, Ilitch had allotted a hefty amount to improve a potent team at third base.
Initially, Rodriguez would not say if the Tigers were one of the teams that he had been told was interested in him. Asked if he was swayed by a mammoth proposal from the Tigers, he said: ''There was no temptation. I wanted to be a Yankee. And I want to finish my career here and be a world champion in New York. That's what it came down to.''
Dave Dombrowski, the general manager of the Tigers, said Detroit never made an offer to Rodriguez. ''That is not true,'' he said. He added, ''If it was made, I didn't hear about it.''
Boras would not comment specifically on Rodriguez's off-season, but said that the basis for negotiations was the $32 million Rodriguez was scheduled to earn in the ninth and 10th years of his original 10-year, $252 million contract.
When Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman was asked about Detroit's supposed interest in Rodriguez, he said, ''It doesn't really matter now anyway.''
What matters to Rodriguez is trying to somehow duplicate his incredible 2007. Rodriguez smashed 54 homers, drove in 156 runs and batted .314 to win his third American League Most Valuable Player award.
Since Rodriguez's extension ties him to the Yankees longer than the contracts of Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera, he is now the face of the franchise. While Rodriguez will say this is Jeter's team, the finances say it is Rodriguez's.
''I don't feel that way, and I haven't thought about that,'' Rodriguez said, who added: ''They've won four championships each. I certainly feel more like their group, more united as one.''
And it almost did not happen. After Rodriguez opted out, Boras, who had set $350 million as an opening bid from the Yankees, could have received some informal indications about which teams might pursue Rodriguez. While Rodriguez called the handling of his opt-out one of the worst moments of his career, he accepted responsibility for it because, he said, ''I pay people to work for me.''
As Hank Steinbrenner, the Yankees' senior vice president, pledged to move forward, the Yankees talked about trying to replace Rodriguez. The St. Louis Cardinals were trying to unload third baseman Scott Rolen, so they contacted the Yankees. The Yankees were curious enough about Rolen to ask Tino Martinez for a scouting report on Rolen. Martinez called Rolen a great player and a great teammate.
But the Yankees were concerned about Rolen's surgically repaired shoulder. In addition, within a week of opting out, Rodriguez informed the Yankees through friends at Goldman Sachs that he wanted to remain.
''It felt incredible to look in the mirror and say I controlled my own destiny,'' Rodriguez said. ''When I made that call to Hank, he could have told me to take a hike. At the end of the day, I made the call and I ended up in a place I wanted to be.''
Eighteen miles away from where Rodriguez started the season, Jos?anseco signed copies of his book in Ridgewood, N.J. In the book, Canseco said he introduced Rodriguez to a steroid supplier he called Max. Canseco has refused to further identify Max.
As flimsy as Canseco's charges might seem, Rodriguez will probably hear steroids chants when the Yankees play the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park in nine days. There is no guarantee he will not be booed at Yankee Stadium, either.
''When you're in play, you're in play,'' Rodriguez said. ''People are always going to have opinions. That's O.K. That's healthy. By the way, when they stop, there's a problem. That means they don't care anymore.''

[ a male-female dog couple enters, and Big Dog is attracted to the scent of the bitch ]
Big Dog: Ahhhh.. [ raises his leg and begins to hump the bitch's backside ]
Male Dog: Excuse me! But the lady came with me!
[ the two dogs began to growl and bark at one another, starting an upset throughout the restaurant as the dogs join the chorus; Big Dog quickly retreats back to his table, and the barking ceases ]
Bartender: And your Bitch's Piss Martini.
Big Dog: Thank you. May I have an olive with that?
[ Bartender tosses the olvie directly into Big Dog's mouth ]
Maitre'D: En-joyyyy. [ as the other patrons' bowls of food are distributed ] Bon appetit, everyone!
[ to pass the time while still waiting for their table, Skippy and Daisy proceed to chase each other in a circle, sniffing at each other's butt ]
Maitre'D: I'm sorry! Excuse me, please! But because of the new butt-sniffing ban, I'll have to ask you to do that outside!
Skippy: You can't sniff a butt in a bar any more?! God, this is absurd!
Daisy: Ridiciulous!

QPR boss Harry Redknapp was delighted to break their winning duck in victory over Fulham - thanks to two-goal Adel Taarabt.
The Rs dominated for much of the game but conceded a late goal through a deflected Mladen Petric strike and Redknapp admitted the goal led to a tense final few moments at Loftus Road.
"We deserved it (the win)," he said. "I thought we were the better team and it would have been a travesty if we had conceded another goal in those hectic couple of minutes went they pushed (Brede) Hangeland up and bombed it into our box.
"When you have not won, psychologically the players must have been thinking 'oh my God' when they have got the goal and they think an equaliser is going to come, it must have been difficult.
"It was difficult for me watching that last four minutes and they must have felt the same but we hung in there and got the result we deserved."
The result moves QPR onto 10 points and above Reading into 19th place and Redknapp felt it was a necessity to end the winless run before they were cut adrift.
"At least it keeps us in there, if we hadn't won today it would have been absolutely desperate," he said.
"It is going to be tough, we are not going to kid ourselves but we have had one win but we are on a good run, we have had four games and taken six points.
"If you can take six points from every four games you will stay up - hopefully that can kick-start our season now and keep us going."

The Southern Baptist Convention is a denomination that represents American Christianity to so many people.
This week during its annual convention, it wrestled with a topic brought up by Arlington pastor Dwight McKissic -- to denounce views of the alt-right and white supremacists.
"More and more of the alt-right people were identifying themselves as part of the Southern Baptist Convention, and I went 'Whoa!'" said Pastor Dwight McKissic of the Cornerstone Baptist Church.
Christine Wicker has been researching and writing on religion for years. She was also raised Southern Baptist. Wicker says it appears the pastor was trying to make a strong statement.
"I think he's trying to get them to reclaim their position," Wicker said.
This is all happening at a polarizing time too, politically and socially, even for the church.
"They [the church] are in a big struggle to figure out who they are -- to leave the 50's. Trump has come in and said look back to the good ole days," Wicker said.
The resolution didn't pass the first two times. Pastor McKissic heard from black pastors who represent 20 percent of the convention.
"I was aware of many who said they were going to leave, especially younger ones from all over the nation. I was pleading with them, 'not so fast'" said the pastor.
It prompted Alt-Right Leader Richard Spencer to prematurely put out this tweet: "So apparently the Southern Baptists Convention didn't denounce the Alt-Right after all. Interesting development!"
Later Wednesday night, Spencer tweeted: "Jesus never complained about racism. Paul enjoined slaves to return to their masters. Have these fundies ever read their bibles?"
By Wednesday afternoon, it got the required two-thirds majority vote. A full denouncement with some tweaks to the language of the resolution.
"The church should be the moral guardian of society," the pastor said.
The pastor is pleased with the vote but says he still wonders why it took so long to happen.

MPD charges man after shooting outside bar
Published 5:00 pm, Sunday, March 13, 2011
A Midland man has been arrested in connection with a shooting and stabbing outside Lone Star Bar in the 600 block of West Wall Street early Sunday morning.
Robert Medellin, 39, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and booked into the Midland County jail at 1:58 a.m. Sunday. Midland Police Department Public Information Officer Tasa Watts said she was unsure of what weapon Medellin allegedly used during the altercation.
Midland police and fire departments responded to a call about a shooting and stabbing around 1 a.m., according to an MPD report.
One individual was beaten, another stabbed, and a third shot. All three were transported to Midland Memorial Hospital and have been treated and released.
The names of the other two individuals involved have not been released, and officials did not say which injuries were suffered by Medellin.
Although bar patrons offered conflicting second-hand reports Sunday afternoon of the morning's altercation, none said they saw the events unfold outside the bar.
Authorities late Sunday said the investigation is continuing and there is a possibility of other charges pending in the case. An early report considered all three individuals to be suspects.
Medellin was being held on a $10,000 bond.
Sara Higgins can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

5 Tips to Plan a Vacation in Dubai Resorts
I have friends who go to Dubai for vacations every year. They love the shopping and of course the Dubai resorts are sensational. Here"s an overview for how to plan your Dubai trip.
A vacation in Dubai can be the ultimate in luxury – if you plan ahead. Here's how to find the best Dubai hotels, resorts, transportation and attractions to have the time of your life.
Dubai Tourism
Why go to Dubai
Dubai is the largest of the United Arab Emirates (in terms of population). It's considered the "Shopping Capital of the Middle East" and draws shoppers from Eastern Europe, Africa and India. It is known for its market districts (or souks) located near the docks where native boats (called dhows) import their wares. There are also modern shopping malls throughout the nation.
But there's much more to Dubai than shopping, many people come to explore the old city, to experience pearl diving, to explore the Al Fahidi Fort and to watch sporting events like the Dubai World Cup, the richest horse race in the world. Dubai has built a reputation as an excellent port for cruise ships and a prime destination for business conferences.
In addition, Dubai boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in the world with beautiful sandy beaches lined with palm trees. Eco-tourism is becoming increasingly popular, as everyone wants to preserve Dubai's beauty.
Book your flight
travel agent or favorite online travel site should be able to easily arrange for your trip to Dubai. Hotel, flight/cruise, accommodation packages are readily available. Most major airlines, including Delta, United, British Airways, Lufthansa and Air India offer service to Dubai as do most major cruise ship lines. Be sure to book your flight well in advance in order to get the best price.
Dubai Resorts
One of the best ways to visit Dubai is to stay in one of its many luxury resorts. For example, Atlantis, the Palm hotel is the height of luxury. Situated on Palm Jumeirah, a man-made island, that features waterpark, white sandy beaches, world-class cuisine, a spa, boutiques and – best of all – a world-class marine habitat to explore. Dubai hotels, especially the many resorts, provide an all-in-one travel experience: food, accommodations, family activities, couples activities, it's all there. You won't have to worry about a thing, just live in the lap of luxury.
Arrange cabs
Anything that is not in your all-inclusive Dubai hotel can easily be found nearby. Most people get around by taxi, the most familiar being the cream-colored Dubai Transportation Company cabs. There are many other cab companies too, all with courteous drivers and reasonable fares. Your hotel may also have its own transportation service as well. If not, the concierge will easily be able to help you arrange transportation to any place you want to go.
Tourist spots
Once you've checked in at your hotel, you'll want to take in the sights. When in Dubai, don't miss:
- the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower, which has incredible views at the top.
- the Dubai Fountains, with more than 6,600 WET superlights and 25 color projectors and a system that can shoot water 500 feet into the air for the most spectacular water display in the world
- Global Village, a multi-cultural entertainment and shopping attraction
- Dubai Creek, the historic center of the city
- Dubai Marina, where visitors can view the luxury yachts, visit amazing skyscrapers and taste the very best gourmet cuisine
- Wild Wadi, a water park with 30 rides the whole family can enjoy
Food Specialties
Part of the fun of traveling is the chance to sample new foods. Dubai is world-renowned for its Arabian, Iranian, Lebanese and Moroccan cuisine. Be sure to try:
- Wara enab (leaves stuffed with rice)
- Kousa Mahshi, stuffed zucchini
- Hummus (a delicious chickpea paste)
- Tabbouleh (a spread of mint, parsley and crushed wheat)
- Ghuzi (roast lamb with rice and nuts).
- Any of the many types of seafood
- Mehalabeya (a pudding of rosewater and pistachios)
- Shawarma (a bread pocket filled with lamb and salad – a delightful snack)
No matter which Dubai hotel you choose, you will won't have a care in the world. Every hotel has all the luxury and necessary amenities you need: beauty salons and spas, fitness centers, business and nursery facilities, medical centers, movies, porters, internet, cable television, nightclubs and more.
Whether you are planning a trip to Dubai for romance, family fun, business or just to explore another part of the world, you'll find plenty to see and do. Start making your travel plans today.
Check out Dubai hotels and restaurants and plan your vacation well.

Apple to invest in manufacturing Macs in U.S.
San Francisco - Apple plans to spend more than $100 million next year on building Mac computers in the United States, shifting a small portion of manufacturing away from China, the country that has handled assembly of its products for years.
"Next year we're going to bring some production to the U.S.," Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek. "This doesn't mean that Apple will do it ourselves, but we'll be working with people and we'll be investing our money."
Apple, which until the late 1990s made and assembled many products in the U.S., moved manufacturing to Asia to take advantage of lower labor costs. The planned investment makes up a sliver of Apple's $121.3 billion in cash, and probably won't meaningfully affect profit margins. Still, it reflects pressure on companies to create even a modest number of domestic jobs as the unemployment rate hovers near 8 percent.
"I don't think we have a responsibility to create a certain kind of job," Cook said. "But I think we do have a responsibility to create jobs."
While Cook didn't outline where the manufacturing would happen or how much would be produced in the U.S., he said the company will work with partners and that the operations would include more than just final assembly.
Many of the parts that go into the iPhone and iPad already are made in the U.S. This includes the display glass, which is made in Kentucky, Cook said.
Apple also has created jobs in the mobile-software industry through the introduction of the iPhone in 2007, which fueled an explosion in creation of applications, he said.
Besides building a new headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., Apple is working on a campus in Austin, Texas, and building new data centers in Nevada and Oregon while expanding an existing one in Maiden, N.C., he said.
Before shifting work abroad, Apple had handled manufacturing in such locations as as Elk Grove, near Sacramento.
Mac desktop and laptop computers-once Apple's cornerstone-have been dwarfed by the iPhone and iPad more recently. With sales of $23.2 billion on 18.2 million units last year, Macs accounted for just 15 percent of total revenue. The device is currently manufactured mostly in China.
Apple and its manufacturing partner Foxconn Technology Group have faced criticism from labor- and worker-rights groups for the conditions at facilities where Apple products are made. Cook defended Apple's practices, including enlisting the Fair Labor Association to audit Foxconn's factories.
"We're doing a number of things that I think are really great, really different, and industry-leading," Cook said. "No one is looking at this as deeply as we are or going as deep in the supply chain."

It is with great sadness that we must announce that Torero Bar and Kitchen will be closing its doors after dinner service this Saturday May 6th.
A few years ago we were approached by a group of investors with a mutual goal of developing a section of downtown that had not been established yet. Their trust in us allowed us to work on creating the concept of Torero.
Our goal from the outset was to provide Tulsa with a unique dining experience that gave the feeling of being a part of our family with an emphasis on excellent food and great service.
We want to express our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to everyone in Tulsa who joined us on this journey and thank you for being a part of this restaurant. We look forward to seeing you all in the future and invite all of you to join us over the next few days so that we can see you again for another great meal.
SincerelyChip, Noah, and Ian

Juniper Networks, Inc. Information for VU#229804
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol does not specify unique LSA lookup identifiers
- Vendor Information Help Date Notified: 10 May 2013
- Statement Date:
- Date Updated: 03 Dec 2013
Vendor Statement
All Juniper Networks platforms running Junos Operating System software, JunosE Operating System software, and ScreenOS software
A vulnerability has been discovered in the OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol that allows a remote attacker to insert, update, or delete routes in the OSPF database. Juniper has worked to provide fixes for all supported code that is vulnerable to this issue.
The issue lies in the OSPF protocol (RFC 2328: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2328.txt). OSPF does not specify that the 'Link State ID' and 'Advertising Router' fields need to match when a router receives an OSPF link-state advertisement (LSA). This limitation of the protocol specification would allow for an attacker to inject false routes into the OSPF database. This issue doesn't exist if the OSPF configuration of a router is set to use MD5 Authentication, or if a filter is used to block external parties from sending OSPF link-state update (LSU) packets. This issue also does not apply to passive OSPF interfaces or interfaces that are not configured for OSPF.
This issue was discovered by an external security researcher.
No other Juniper Networks products or platforms are affected by this issue.
This issue has been assigned CVE-2013-0149.
Releases containing (or will contain) the fix specifically include: 13.1R3, 13.2X50-D10, 12.3R3, 12.2R5, 12.1R7, 12.1X45-D10, 12.1X44-D15, 11.4R8, 10.4R15, and all subsequent releases. In addition, all Junos OS software releases built on or after 2013-07-25 will also have fixed this specific issue.
Customers can confirm the build date of any Junos OS release by issuing the command 'show version detail'.
All JunosE software releases built on or after 2013-07-25 have fixed this specific issue. Please contact JTAC to request a patch or hotfix for fixes on all other supported releases of code.
Software updates to ScreenOS have been released to resolve this issue. Releases containing the fix include ScreenOS 5.4.0r28a, 6.2.0r17a, and 6.3.0r14a.
This issue is being tracked as PR 878639 (Junos), CQ95773 (JunosE), and PR 895456 (ScreenOS).
KB16765 - "In which releases are vulnerabilities fixed?" describes which release vulnerabilities are fixed as per our End of Engineering and End of Life support policies.
Juniper recommends that customers use MD5 authentication when configuring OSPF. MD5 authentication completely mitigates this issue as the router will not accept an LSA without the correct MD5 auth value.
It is good security practice to limit the exploitable attack surface of critical infrastructure networking equipment. Use access lists or firewall filters on physical interfaces (not loopback) to limit access to the router via OSPF unless necessary.
Customers can request a hotfix for this issue on JunosE may do so by contacting JTAC.

7.8 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:C)
This issue could allow an remote attacker the ability to modify an OSPF database. For the issue to take place the attacker would need to have unfiltered access to an OSPF interface that is not using MD5 authentication. The attacker would be able to add routes, overwrite routes, and also clear the OSPF database. This attack could potentially allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or reroute traffic.
Juniper SIRT would like to acknowledge and thank Gabi Nakibly for responsibly reporting this vulnerability to CERT/CC who coordinated the multi-vendor response.

A public consultation to get people's views on a new development in Gateford has been held.
Residents were invited to Gateford Park Primary School to view the plans for 670 new homes, a primary school and a park which are currently in the pipeline.
Following this consultation the developers, Lands Improvement, will submit a planning application and then if planning is granted building work could start in 2015.
The main concern for residents is that the plans do not include anymore roads to accommodate for the extra houses and school.
Nick Sapsford said: "I understand the need for housing but my problem is regards to the traffic."
"Traffic coming in and out of Gateford Road can be very heavy."
"It is something that needs to be looked at."
"They are looking at putting in traffic lights but I am not convinced that is going to help the situation."
"It is nice to see a school and community areas."
Residents who were at the consultation were invited to complete feedback forms which will be collated and taken into consideration during the next stage of the application.
Land Improvements managing director, Kevin Moriarty, said: "We need to find out what the problems are and see if they are things we can incorporate into the scheme."
"We have to make sure it's right."

God no Mojang, don't start THAT shit... Minecraft started out on PC, there should be no content that doesn't come to PC.
How about firstly increasing the world size that is currently 1000x1000. The world size on 360 is piddly and depressingly not even approaching what i was expecting- and really i wasn't expecting anything quite so grand as it is on the pc
You are essentially fenced into one not particularly big island. It robs the game of what it is and that is to adventure out in a chosen direction. Limits yes but not this extreme. 4JS is going to recieve a lot of grief over this i'm sure and it seems wierdly overlooked MS and 4JS- not to mention notch. Unless they're banking on people not noticing it somehow
The port otherwise looks very well done but this aspect is crap. A shame then but maybe it will be patched to increase this at some stage. I'm not optimistic
I thought Minecraft was about making your own stuff, and not using DLC?!?!
Here's an idea...
Bring it to PS3.
You're going to lose SO many sales by not doing this.
Bring it to Vita.
Even if you have to give us the Pocket Edition, give us a Vita version. It would have been a phenomenal launch title and a reason for people to buy the thing. I bought it for Katamari alone...and I LOVE my Vita. You are just sitting on SO MUCH MONEY!
Bring it to 3DS. (The 3D on the PC version is fantastic!)
Unfortunately, Fortress Craft is much better than the 360 version of Minecraft.
That's not to downplay Fortress Craft either. It's an AMAZING game.

EPIC is the leading Risk Management and problem gambling consultancy in the UK. We commit to being at the forefront of all issues, offering our advice, expertise and views.
Problem gambling is potentially the most destructive addiction in both the UK and globally. The latest surveys suggest that there are around 1/2 million problem gamblers in the UK, with 60,000 between the ages of 11-15, but the reality is that there are many more due to it being the 'hidden addiction'. The effects of problem gambling go beyond the gambler themselves with family and friends, workplaces, the community and society also experiencing huge negative effects. EPIC believes that the UK should adopt a four step approach that would see a huge reduction in the issue over the next decade.

Here is the link to the downloadable PDF version of the guidebook for the 2011 Edible Garden Tour, including the food literacy treasure hunt entry form and feedback form. Printed versions are also available in Powell River at Mother Nature, Springtime Nursery, Breakwater Books, and Kingfisher Used Books.
Hello and welcome to Powell River's Third Annual Edible Garden Tour, kicking off the sixth annual 50-Mile Eat-Local Challenge. The Edible Garden Tour is a great way to see how other people in the region are producing some of their own food. Please respect the gardens you're visiting. No grazing without permission! But definitely ask lots of questions.
Please be aware that the gardens are split up into two sets:
- From 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon: a morning set of five gardens in Lund and Wildwood;
- From 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM: an afternoon set of five more gardens in Westview, Cranberry, and Townsite.
There is no fixed order for the gardens, but be sure to visit the morning gardens in the morning and the afternoon ones in the afternoon! See the maps for the overall layout of the tour, and plan your day.
Note that the Lund gardens involve some forest walks, uneven ground, and possibly a bit of puddle-jumping. Wear good walking shoes. Those with limited mobility might want to drive as close to the Lund gardens as possible.
There is a one-hour lunch break between noon and 1:00 PM; Owen Gaskell and Daphne Wilson have graciously offered up their garden as a place to have a picnic lunch and meet some of the other people on the tour. Be sure to pack a picnic lunch and something to sit on. Then visit their garden and continue on from there into the afternoon gardens.
At most of the gardens you will see a display or demonstration from some local community groups connected to growing and food production.
This year, we have provided little stamps at each garden (look for the blue box). This lets you stamp your guidebook for each garden you visit so you have a record of the places you saw.
Once again this year, we are featuring a food literacy treasure hunt to test your knowledge of food and gardening. The description of each garden in this guidebook contains a clue. When you have found the answer for each clue, write it into your guidebook in the space provided. Once you have found at least four answers, you can leave your guidebook at the last garden you visit. We'll be collecting these and drawing for prizes, including a $50 gift certificate for Sunshine Organics/Ecossentials and a free Good Food Box. (Write your name and contact info somewhere on your guidebook, so we can find you!) If you don't want to hand in this guidebook, you can find a handy entry form in each garden where you stamp your guidebook and donate.
Please feel free to leave a donation at one (or more!) of the gardens you visit. All donations will support next year's Edible Garden Tour and other local food projects in the region. Thank you!
As this guidebook goes to print, we are still working on bus and carpool service. Please check the Transition Town Powell River website for information closer to the date of the Edible Garden Tour.
The Third Annual Edible Garden Tour is brought to you by Transition Town Powell River and the Powell River Food Security Project, with help and support from the Powell River Literacy Council and Skookum Gleaners. We acknowledge the support and participation of the gardeners who have generously opened up their garden to the public.

06/29/2017 13:55 to 01/01/2018 17:00 Important Message! Effective July 1, 2017 the State Board of Equalization has been restructured to better serve taxpayers. Learn more about the restructuring
Date: September 10, 2002
Customer & Taxpayer Services Division
Last Day To File For Assessment Appeal
Apply For Value Reduction In Selected Counties By Monday, September 16, 2002
John Chiang, Chair, State Board of Equalization (BOE) wishes to remind property taxpayers of the final dates to file an application for an assessment reduction for property on the 2002 regular assessment roll. This year taxpayers in Alameda, Orange, San Luis Obispo, Santa Clara, and Sutter Counties have until Monday, September 16, 2002, to file an assessment appeal application. This is one day past the usual September 15 deadline which falls on a Sunday this year.
Revenue and Taxation Code section 1603 was recently amended to extend the filing deadline, under certain circumstances, for the other 53 California counties. If the county assessor did not provide a notice of assessed value by August 1, 2002, to all taxpayers with real property on the local secured roll (for example, your home), then the final date to file an assessment appeal application for all real property on the local secured roll is extended to December 2, 2002. This is two days past the actual November 30 deadline, which falls on a Saturday this year. This law change did not affect personal property, but some counties have extended that filing period to December 2 also.
Questions regarding these dates and the property tax assessment appeals process should be directed to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors or Assessment Appeals Board(s) in the county where the property is located. The form for assessment appeals may be obtained from the Clerk.
Questions regarding the assessment of a taxpayer's property should be directed to the County Assessor's Office. If the taxpayer does not agree with the assessor and wishes to appeal, the formal appeal process begins with the filing of a timely application.
Further information is also available in the BOE's Publication 30, Residential Property Assessment Appeals. This pamphlet can be obtained by calling the BOE's toll-free Customer Service Information Center at 1-800-400-7115 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding State holidays. The pamphlet is also available for downloading from the BOE's Web site, at www.boe.ca.gov/proptaxes/pubcont.htm.

Single Ladies has been renewed for a third season, but there will be one change to the set when filming begins: show creator and executive producer Stacy A. Littlejohn will not be returning. Per a Deadline Hollywood report, Littlejohn explains "After two incredible seasons of Single Ladies, I have decided to entrust the show to the safe hands of VH1. Having fostered it from its inception, I've found great satisfaction in seeing these characters come to life on the screen, and am proud of what the show has become. But after two all-consuming seasons immersed in its production in the great city of Atlanta, I've decided it's time to shift my focus to my life in Los Angeles and the creation of new projects."
We here at VH1 wish Littlejohn all the best and can't wait to tune in to her next project.

Whenever the NBA stages its annual All-Star Game there are always disgruntled fans who will automatically label the game as a waste of time. Most of the people who believe this tend to be angered the fact that the defense is not as tight as during the regular season, dunking is plentiful, the passing can be a bit outrageous and players are not afraid to generally show off their skills. And while each of these claims has some truth to them, the fact that the players show off their tremendous skills during the game should be celebrated, not derided.
On most occasions the thought of Kyrie Irving throwing up an alley-oop for LeBron James is only a pipe dream, but in the NBA All-Star Game it was a regular occurrence. Additionally, everyone knows that Stephen Curry has ball handling skills that shouldn't even be legal in a video game, but only once a year do you get to see him routinely dribble between the legs at full speed and put spin on passes that reminisce a bowler. Finally, for those that love to see a shooting spectacle, every player is your favorite during the 2014 NBA All-Star Game, as the two teams combined for an astounding 100 three-point attempts.
This expression of talent that seems suited for Rucker Park surely turns off people who want to see the fundamentals utilized at all times, but why? The NBA All-Star Game is a compilation of the best talents in the world, and they should be able to utilize this in a fashion that makes fans, commentators and fellow players drop their jaws in unison. The fact that the game turns into a de facto skills competition should be viewed as a positive, not a negative. After all, even if the NBA couldn't get LeBron James and Blake Griffin to square off in the Slam Dunk Contest, they surely convinced them to battle for the title during the actual All-Star Game.
And best of all for those who love to see defense and fundamental laden basketball, there is always the fourth quarter, when the two teams ratchet up their play in an effort to win. During the 2014 NBA All-Star Game fans got to see Kevin Durant guard James, Paul George on Griffin and Kevin Love on Carmelo Anthony, which is a trio of dream scenarios. The fact that these guys all know the time to step up their games and begin to play for the win is a testament to each, and to the fact that they are genuinely interested in entertaining fans.
All in all, the 2014 NBA All-Star Game was truly a win-win for everyone involved, as the players got to face off against the best of their peers, basketball fans were given a level of skill to watch that left jaws on the ground, and even detractors of the event were given a tight knit and hard fought fourth quarter. The fact that the game ended as a 163-155 win for the Eastern Conference should not be the main point, but the fact that every player involved put on a show.

Hugh Hefner Claims He's Slept With "Over a Thousand" Women, Says Marriage to Crystal Harris Is "Made in Heaven"
Everyone comes with baggage from past relationships, but Hugh Hefner's romantic history is a little -- okay, a lot -- more crowded than others'. In a new interview with Esquire magazine, the 86-year-old Playboy founder confesses to sleeping with many, many women over the years. Too many to count, in fact.
PHOTOS: Hugh Hefner's girlfriends
"How could I possibly know? Over a thousand, I'm sure," the mogul says of the number of ladies he's taken to bed. "There were chunks of my life when I was married, and when I was married I never cheated. But I made up for it when I wasn't married. You have to keep your hand in."
Hefner's hand is out of the game now, thanks to the magazine publisher's relationship with wife Crystal Harris. Speaking about his 26-year-old bride, whom he wed in December, the multi-millionaire gushes that he's a happy, committed, one-woman man.
PHOTOS: Playboy's sexiest celeb models
"All our friends think it's made in heaven," he tells Esquire of his third marriage. (Hef was wed twice before, to Mildred Williams from 1949 to 1959, and to Kimberley Conrad from 1989 to 2010.) "It's only people who don't know us, who simply see us as stereotypes in terms of age and beauty."
PHOTOS: Stunning star weddings
"I just feel very, very fortunate to have found her at this stage in my life. I saved the best till last," he says of the model.
Later, musing about his plans for the future, he adds: "I want the rest of my life to be very much like it is now. I want it to be like this."

SummaryExtremely bug-ridden game but its actually quite fun!
The GoodThe game was fun to play as I played it all the way through with only the last and final patch from Origin. Its an experience worth going through only if you have been an Ultima fan from way back in the beginning. Truly an interesting experience.
The BadI did not like the way the game was handled and released by Origin. Its got a lot of bugs and playability might be impossible for some people. The storyline disappointed me a little bit as well but it was acceptable overall.
The Bottom LineIts basically a Tomb-Raider like RPG set in the Ultima world. Its definitely worth experiencing if you've been a fan of the series. The sheer vast size of the world can seem quite amazing at times and the landscapes simply look marvelous.
This is the final game in the Ultima series. You once again become the Avatar and are warped to Britannia on your quest for the final battle between you and the Guardian. A long epic-like journey you will take through land, sea's and dungeons like no other Ultima and it culminates with a surprising ending.
Might be great for fans of the series but not much fun for everyone else. I personally liked it in a strange sort of twisted way as I've been contemplating finishing it again!

The study of the economic, social and environmental factors relating to the "life cycle" of structures.
University Center
Networking is the process of identifying and developing relationships with others for the purpose of establishing ongoing communication, cooperation, and/or mutual assistance. Successful networking typically occurs in three stages: identifying the relevant relationships, developing those relationships, and utilizing the relationships to enhance the effectiveness of specific endeavors. Working effectively with communities generally involves working together with a large number of other organizations or individuals. Networking serves to build relationships with others who may have information, expertise, access, or resources required for the successful implementation of community and economic development strategies.
More than a quarter-century of involvement with a wide variety of community-based organizations, political leaders, and involved citizens has resulted in an extensive network of relationships that contribute to the effectiveness of the CCED and similar groups. Many students new to CCED bring with them their own existing networks, which can be utilized to further the mission of the CCED.

Rearward Glance - from the 1960s to the presentA solo exhibition of Liu Kuo-sung at Galerie du Mondeand concurrently at Art Basel HK 2014Curated by Zhu Hongzi09 May – 30 June, 2014
In celebration of Galerie du Monde's 40th anniversary in 2014, and the gallery's continuing emphasis in presenting outstanding works of art by contemporary ink painting artists, we take great pleasure in proposing this exceptional exhibition of paintings by the eminent artist Liu Kuo-sung , curated by Zhu Hongzi, who also curated his retrospective exhibition at NAMOC in 2011.
The "Rearward Glance" can be a gaze or a glimpse triggered by an instant impulse. What you see, in the exhibition, are works by an 82-year-old daring reformer and a thinking artist who commands our spontaneous respect. This exhibition will be comprised of significant works from the 1960s to the current decade.
Many of Liu's works challenge people's experience of art appreciation, for he has given up pursuing "the charm of brushwork" in traditional Chinese painting and does not strive for the delicacy of modeling or straightforward descriptiveness in Western painting.
Liu Kuo-sung has set an example of reforming zhongfeng (the use of the middle part of the brush tip) and also the brush itself. His decades of practice have been accompanied by theoretical reflections. It's fair to say that it is him and his successors who have opened up the vibrant area of "Modern ink painting", from which have sprung vitality and possibilities for the progress of the genre.
The curator, Zhu Hongzi, stated about Liu Kuo-sung: "Some quasi-descriptive traces are visible in his works of the 1960s, for which he was accepted by the international art community, and the abstract expressionist works inspired by the wild cursive style' in Chinese calligraphy. However, viewers of the 'outer space' series of the 1970s can only marvel at the artist's uncanny workmanship. The technical secret to Liu's artistic expression lies in 'production', which embodies the high rationality of an artist; uncontrolled randomness is retained in such rationality by complex and varied means which are inconceivable yet suited to and united with the artistic expression. The circles and crescents that appear frequently in the 'outer space' series are apparently some concepts adapted from hard-edge art to edge art to express his rebellion and challenge against the nature of traditional painting. What's special about it is that, through adaptation to the convention of painting, he hides such rebellion and challenge in almost undiscoverable corners in a cool and uninhibited style, which is blended with the rational process of production that combines control and randomness to form a 'kernel' with a special appeal that has run through all the stages of his career. In comparison, there are more tender sentiments in the recent Jiuzhaigou series, which includes The Heavenly Yellow River. These works frequently reveal his amiability, which is a simple beauty arrived at after all the vicissitudes, a reflection of his life in his twilight years."
Liu Kuo-sung owes his artistic achievements to innovation, which he thinks is the earliest legacy of Chinese painting. Breaking with obstacles set by the dominance of literati painting for over a thousand years, he has created a new realm for Chinese ink painting, where the modern spirit is expressed in modern time and space. His artistic practice is an important result of the reform of Chinese painting in the 20th century forming a cultural landscape of the Modern ink painting movement.
Rearward Glance - from the 1960s to the present – A solo exhibition of Liu Kuo-sung at Galerie du Monde and concurrently at Art Basel HK 2014
09 May – 30 June, 2014 (15 May – 18 May, 2014, Art Basel HK)

www.gonzaga.edu/womens-gender-studies THE PROGRAM
and practice together.
As a program that spans and intersects with several different academic disciplines, Women's and Gender Studies complements Gonzaga's wide array of majors. The program, a 21-credit minor, is comprised of three required courses and four electives. The required courses are:
Gonzaga's Women's and Gender Studies program is an inter- and multi-disciplinary program that develops student capacity to understand the world through a range of theories and methodologies that includes gender as a central analytic component. The program seeks to:
• WGST 201: Sex, Gender, and Society • WGST 401: Feminist Thought/Gender Theory • WGST 499: Symposium in Women's and Gender Studies
• examine and question the constructions of gender identity and the impact these processes have on lived experiences of persons both locally and transnationally • foster understanding of the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and class • cultivate the conviction that one has an ethical obligation to combat sexism, heterosexism, and other forms of intersecting discrimination such as racism and classism • encourage students to respect and value difference as we strive for a more just, equal society
The skills developed in Women's and Gender Studies courses are applicable to many careers. Gonzaga graduates who have completed the minor work in business, education, journalism, government, international development, law, public relations, social services, and research. Women's and Gender Studies graduates from Gonzaga have also entered graduate programs in art history, counseling, literature, media studies, political science, social work, sociology, and women's and gender studies.
This three-course sequence is designed to train students to work with the concepts, methods, and theories of feminist/gender studies scholarship and to apply these to understanding and eliminating the problems created by gender inequality. Women's and Gender Studies students are encouraged to develop models of gender justice and to work toward realizing them. The program currently offers stand-alone and cross-listed courses in art, biology, classical civilizations, communication, English literature, history, philosophy, political science, religious studies, foreign languages, psychology, and sociology. Faculty members trained in feminist scholarship and pedagogy teach every course, and they seek to create a community of learners in which both professors and students take responsibility for the educational experience. Beyond the classroom, Women's and Gender Studies students and faculty have organized events such as a pop culture lecture series and "Take a Stand," a dramatic production featuring
stories about sexual violence written and performed by students. In addition, the program sponsors films, discussions, and social events. The program also annually publishes The Fringe, a collection of essays, art, poetry, and photography.
THE POTENTIAL Students participating in Women's and Gender Studies courses are encouraged to contribute their ideas and talents inside and outside of the classroom. Service-learning opportunities, where students combine experiences of classroom lectures with work in community organizations, allow students to bring theory
Recent graduates are pursuing a multitude of interesting experiences: • • • • • • • • • •
studying overseas as a Fulbright Scholar working for the Peace Corps in Africa pursuing a law degree at Georgetown working in community outreach for women's health education serving on the staff of a U.S. Senator volunteering with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps coordinating volunteers in programs for troubled teens in the Pacific Northwest testifying at the United Nations studying culinary arts in San Diego teaching with Teach for America
Overall, the shared educational journey found in the Women's and Gender Studies curriculum has inspired its graduates to fight for gender justice in a global society.
