Procedure for Responding to a Compromised Computer
The purpose of this Procedure is to provide step-by-step instructions for responding to an actual or suspected compromise of Carnegie Mellon's computing resources.
Applies To
This Procedure applies to anyone using Carnegie Mellon's computing resources that suspects that the security or privacy of these resources has been compromised. This Procedure also applies to situations where there has been no compromise but someone suspects their computing resources are actively being attacked. This Procedure does not apply to computing resources owned by students.
A Compromised Computer is defined as any computing resource whose confidentiality, integrity or availability has been adversely impacted, either intentionally or unintentionally, by an untrusted source. A compromise can occur either through manual interaction by the untrusted source or through automation. Gaining unauthorized access to a computer by impersonating a legitimate user or by conducting a brute-force attack would constitute a compromise. Exploiting a loophole in a computer's configuration would also constitute a compromise. Depending on the circumstances, a computer infected with a virus, worm, trojan or other malicious software may be considered a compromise. If the malicious software is detected and removed by antivirus software in a timely manner, it is probably not necessary to follow this process. Some level of judgment will need to be used in these situations. Symptoms of a Compromised Computer include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The computer is experiencing unexpected and unexplainable disk activity
- The computer is experiencing unexpected and unexplainable performance degradation
- The computer's logs (e.g. system logs, application logs, etc.) contain suspicious entries that indicate repeated login failures or connections to unfamiliar services
- A complaint is received from a third-party regarding suspicious activity originating from the computer
Non-public Information is defined as any information that is classified as Private or Restricted information according to the Guidelines for Data Classification.
Personally Identifiable Information is a subset of Non-public Information defined by various state and federal regulations. Examples of Personally Identifiable Information include, but at not limited to, social security numbers, driver's license numbers, health information and certain types of financial account information.
Regulatory Requirements
Carnegie Mellon is required by various state and federal regulations to investigate any incident that may involve the breach of personally identifiable information. Carnegie Mellon is also required to notify an individual if the privacy of their personally identifiable information has been breached. Failure to preserve evidence or conduct an investigation related to a compromised computer could result in unnecessary financial costs for the institution. It is also important that the details of a compromise and the ensuing investigation remain confidential. All communications related to a compromise should be coordinated with the Information Security Office and the Office of General Counsel. Any contact with law enforcement should be immediately referred to or authorized by the Office of General Counsel.
The following steps should be taken to response to an actual or suspected compromised computer:
- Disconnect the computer from the network
Disconnecting the computer from the network prevents a potentially untrusted source from taking further actions on the compromised computer. This also prevents any further leakage of non-public information if that is a potential concern. Shutting down the computer would also have this effect but could destroy evidence that is essential to investigating the compromise. Similarly, rebuilding the computer would destroy all evidence pertinent to an investigation.
- Contact the Information Security Office
Prior to taking any additional action on the compromised computer, the Information Security Office should be contacted. Continuing to use the compromised computer or attempting to investigate the compromise on your own could result in destruction of evidence pertinent to an investigation. The Information Security Office can be contacted by phone at 412-268-2044 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. In the event that the Information Security Office is unavailable to take your call, emergency contact information will be provided in the voice message.
- Notify users of the computer, if any, of a temporary service interruption
If the compromised computer provides some type of service, it is likely that users of this service will be impacted by the interruption brought on by disconnecting the computer from the network. These users should be notified in some manner of the interruption. Options for notification may include an email to the user base or posting a notice to a frequently visited web site. As stated previously, the details of a compromise and the ensuing investigation should be kept confidential. Therefore, the notification of service interruption should not indicate that there has been a compromise.
- Preserve any log information not resident on the compromised computer
All log files, pertaining to a compromised computer, that are stored on a secondary computer or on some type of external media should be preserved immediately. Preservation may include making a copy of the log files and burning them to a CD. If there is no immediate risk of the logs being deleted or overwritten, this step can occur following Step 5. Log files stored locally on the compromised computer will be collected as part of a forensic investigation coordinated by the Information Security Office. This will help ensure that no evidence is destroyed or altered during the collection process.
- Wait for further instructions from the Information Security Office
The Information Security Office will conduct some preliminary investigation prior to determining the best course of action for the Compromised Computer. While waiting further instructions, do not share any details related to the compromise unless absolutely necessary. Additionally, do not attempt to contact law enforcement officials. Such communication must be coordinated with the Information Security Office and the Office of General Counsel due to the potential legal implications of a compromised computer.

Francisco Liriano Somehow Hurt Himself Scaring His Kids
The Pittsburgh Pirates haven't had a winning season since a young pre-rumored-to-be-usin'-PED-homer-swingin' Barry Bonds was roaming the outfield. The injury to newly-signed pitcher Francisco Liriano may prove there's a karmic reason for that.
Liriano, best known for being a brilliant pitcher with the Minnesota Twins before injuries got to him, injured himself yet again on Christmas Day. But it's the way he got hurt that should cause Pirates fans to realize they're team is more of a lost cause than the Romney campaign.
It seems Liriano broke his right arm when he bumped into a door while trying to scare his kids. Apparently, Liriano is working on a post-baseball career as the bogeyman.
Liriano had been close to signing a contract with Pittsburgh at the time, but wound up canceling a trip to go there the day after Christmas because he was in so much pain. He ended up in the hospital where he learned his arm was broken.
The Pirates don't seem too fazed, though, since they recently finalized the contract, which actually calls for an option for a second year. Yes, it's moves like this that explain why the Pirates are the Pirates.
Liriano, who joins the pantheon of ridiculous sports injuries, should be ready to pitch by the middle of next month, which is good, because Pittsburgh technically will still be in contention, since, you know, the regular season still won't have started.
Hey, take heart Pirates fans – at least your team isn't bringing in players the way the Indians did in 'Major League.' Although they did win the pennant, so maybe Pittsburgh should think about that.

Choosing the Right Law School / U. San Francisco vs Golden Gate« on: April 24, 2013, 03:10:52 PM »
So it's my dream to live in the Bay Area and work with Human Rights Law. I've been accepted to both U. San Francisco (no scholarship) and Golden Gate ($30k scholarship). U. San Fran has the better academic/clinical/networking connections to Human Rights but I'm going to graduate with WAY more debt if I choose to go here. My question is this: is it smart to forfeit a law school with the ideal program in favor of a scholarship at a school that does not have EXACTLY what you want to do with law but will save you a boat load of money in the end?
Any advice will be highly appreciated! Thank you!

SEATTLE (AP) — A Portland-area musician has been arrested on charges he raised more than $525,000 for fictitious music projects – including one that purportedly involved Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson and Jack White.
Kasey Anderson of Vancouver, Wash., surrendered to federal officials in Seattle on Tuesday to face wire fraud charges.
Federal prosecutors say Anderson raised money for an album called "Trapped Like a Ghost," to benefit the "West Memphis Three," three men who were convicted of murder in 1994. They say he told investors that many famous musicians had agreed to contribute tracks, and that he fabricated emails supposedly from Springsteen's manager.
Prosecutors say he has repaid $160,000 of the money. Some of the investors sued Anderson in court in Portland.
Anderson made an initial appearance at U.S. District Court in Seattle Tuesday. He did not enter a plea.

Capacity and lifetime of laptop batteries have improved much in the last years. Nevertheless modern processors consume much more energy than older ones and each laptop generation introduces more devices hungry for energy. That's why Power Management is more important than ever. Increasing battery run time doesn't necessarily mean buying another battery. Much can be achieved applying intelligent Power Management policies.
Please notice that this guide describes Power Management for
As this guide has become rather long, here's a short overview helping you to find your way through it.
Nearly every component can operate in different states - off, sleep, idle, active to name a few - consuming a different amount of energy. Major parts are consumed by the LCD display, CPU, chipset and hard drives. Often one is able to activate OS-independent Power Management in the BIOS, but an intelligent setup in the operating system adapting to different situations can achieve much more.
Before discussing the details of making individual devices Power Management
aware, make sure certain requirements are met. After controlling BIOS settings,
some kernel options want to be enabled - these are in short ACPI, sleep states
and CPU frequency scaling. As power saving most of the time comes along with
performance loss or increased latency, it should only be enabled when running
on batteries. That's where a new runlevel
First have a look into your BIOS Power Management settings. The best way is to combine BIOS and operating system policies, but for the moment it's better to disable most of the BIOS part. This makes sure it doesn't interfere with your policies. Don't forget to re-check BIOS settings after you configured everything else.
Please check that the
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) support in the kernel is still work in progress. Using a recent kernel will make sure you'll get the most out of it.
There are different kernel sources in Portage. I'd recommend using
Power Management Options ---> [*] Power Management Support [ ] Software Suspend ACPI( Advanced Configuration and Power Interface ) Support ---> [*] ACPI Support [ ] Sleep States [ ] /proc/acpi/sleep (deprecated) [*] AC Adapter [*] Battery <M> Button <M> Video [ ] Generic Hotkey <M> Fan <M> Processor <M> Thermal Zone < > ASUS/Medion Laptop Extras < > IBM ThinkPad Laptop Extras < > Toshiba Laptop Extras (0) Disable ACPI for systems before Jan 1st this year [ ] Debug Statements [*] Power Management Timer Support < > ACPI0004,PNP0A05 and PNP0A06 Container Driver (EXPERIMENTAL) CPU Frequency Scaling ---> [*] CPU Frequency scaling [ ] Enable CPUfreq debugging < > CPU frequency translation statistics [ ] CPU frequency translation statistics details Default CPUFreq governor (userspace) <*> 'performance' governor <*> 'powersave' governor <*> 'ondemand' cpufreq policy governor <*> 'conservative' cpufreq governor <*> CPU frequency table helpers <M> ACPI Processor P-States driver <*> CPUFreq driver for your processor
Decide yourself whether you want to enable Software Suspend, and Sleep States (see below). If you own an ASUS, Medion, IBM Thinkpad or Toshiba laptop, enable the appropriate section.
The kernel has to know how to enable CPU frequency scaling on your processor.
As each type of CPU has a different interface, you've got to choose the right
driver for your processor. Be careful here - enabling
Compile your kernel, make sure the right modules get loaded at startup and boot
into your new ACPI-enabled kernel. Next run
# emerge sys-power/acpid # /etc/init.d/acpid start # rc-update add acpid default
The default policy will be to enable Power Management only when needed -
running on batteries. To make the switch between AC and battery convenient,
create a runlevel
# cd /etc/runlevels # cp -a default battery
Finished. Your new runlevel
Typical ACPI events are closing the lid, changing the power source or pressing the sleep button. An important event is changing the power source, which should cause a runlevel switch. A small script will take care of it.
First you need a script which changes the runlevel to
# emerge powermgmt-base
You are now able to determine the power source by executing
# BEGIN configurationRUNLEVEL_AC="default" RUNLEVEL_BATTERY="battery" # END configurationif [ ! -d "/etc/runlevels/${RUNLEVEL_AC}" ] then logger "${0}: Runlevel ${RUNLEVEL_AC} does not exist. Aborting." exit 1 fi if [ ! -d "/etc/runlevels/${RUNLEVEL_BATTERY}" ] then logger "${0}: Runlevel ${RUNLEVEL_BATTERY} does not exist. Aborting." exit 1 fi if on_ac_power then if [[ "$(</var/lib/init.d/softlevel)" != "${RUNLEVEL_AC}" ]] then logger "Switching to ${RUNLEVEL_AC} runlevel" /sbin/rc ${RUNLEVEL_AC} fi elif [[ "$(</var/lib/init.d/softlevel)" != "${RUNLEVEL_BATTERY}" ]] then logger "Switching to ${RUNLEVEL_BATTERY} runlevel" /sbin/rc ${RUNLEVEL_BATTERY} fi
Dont forget to run
# tail -f /var/log/acpid | grep "received event"
Run the command above and pull the power cable. You should see something like this:
[Tue Sep 20 17:39:06 2005] received event "ac_adapter AC 00000080 00000000" [Tue Sep 20 17:39:06 2005] received event "battery BAT0 00000080 00000001"
The interesting part is the quoted string after
# replace "ac_adapter" below with the event generated on your laptop # For example, ac_adapter.* will match ac_adapter AC 00000080 00000000event=ac_adapter.* action=/etc/acpi/actions/pmg_switch_runlevel.sh %e
# replace "battery" below with the event generated on your laptop # For example, battery.* will match battery BAT0 00000080 00000001event=battery.* action=/etc/acpi/actions/pmg_switch_runlevel.sh %e
Finally acpid has to be restarted to recognize the changes.
# /etc/init.d/acpid restart
Give it a try: Plug AC in and out and watch syslog for the "Switching to AC
mode" or "Switching to battery mode" messages. See the
Due to the nature of the event mechanism, your laptop will boot into runlevel
# Fake acpi event to switch runlevel if running on batteries/etc/acpi/actions/pmg_switch_runlevel.sh "battery/battery"
Prepared like this you can activate Power Management policies for individual devices.
Mobile processors can operate at different frequencies. Some allow changing voltage as well. Most of the time your CPU doesn't need to run at full speed and scaling it down will save much energy - often without any performance decrease.
CPU frequency scaling brings up some technical terms that might be unknown to you. Here's a quick introduction.
First of all, the kernel has to be able to change the processor's frequency.
The CPUfreq processor driver knows the commands to do it on your CPU.
Thus it's important to choose the right one in your kernel. You should already
have done it above. Once the kernel knows how to change frequencies, it has to
know which frequency it should set. This is done according to the policy
which consists of a CPUfreq policy and a governor. A CPUfreq
policy are just two numbers which define a range the frequency has to stay
between - minimal and maximal frequency. The governor now decides which of the
available frequencies in between minimal and maximal frequency to choose. For
example, the powersave governor always chooses the lowest frequency
available, the performance governor the highest one. The userspace
governor makes no decision but chooses whatever the user (or a program in
userspace) wants - which means it reads the frequency from
This doesn't sound like dynamic frequency changes yet and in fact it isn't.
Dynamics however can be accomplished with various approaches. For example, the
ondemand governor makes its decisions depending on the current CPU load.
The same is done by various userland tools like
Decreasing CPU speed and voltage has two advantages: On the one hand less energy is consumed, on the other hand there is thermal improvement as your system doesn't get as hot as running on full speed. The main disadvantage is obviously the loss of performance. Decreasing processor speed is a trade off between performance loss and energy saving.
It's time to test whether CPU frequency changing works. Let's install another
tool which is very handy for debugging purposes:
# emerge cpufrequtils # cpufreq-info
Here is an example output:
cpufrequtils 0.3: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004 Report errors and bugs to email@example.com, please. analyzing CPU 0: driver: centrino CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 hardware limits: 600 MHz - 1.40 GHz available frequency steps: 600 MHz, 800 MHz, 1000 MHz, 1.20 GHz, 1.40 GHz available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, powersave, userspace, performance current policy: frequency should be within 924 MHz and 1.40 GHz. The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency is 1.40 GHz.
Now play around with
The above is quite nice, but not doable in daily life. Better let your system set the appropriate frequency automatically. There are many different approaches to do this. The following table gives a quick overview to help you decide on one of them. It's roughly seperated in three categories kernel for approaches that only need kernel support, daemon for programs that run in the background and graphical for programs that provide a GUI for easy configuration and changes.
|Switch decision
|Kernel governors
|Further governors
While adjusting the frequency to the current load looks simple at a first glance, it's not such a trivial task. A bad algorithm can cause switching between two frequencies all the time or wasting energy when setting frequency to an unnecessary high level.
Which one to choose? If you have no idea about it, try
# emerge cpufreqd
[General] pidfile=/var/run/cpufreqd.pid poll_interval=3 enable_plugins=acpi_ac, acpi_battery enable_remote=1 remote_group=wheel verbosity=5 [/General] [Profile] name=ondemand minfreq=0% maxfreq=100% policy=ondemand [/Profile] [Profile] name=conservative minfreq=0% maxfreq=100% policy=conservative [/Profile] [Profile] name=powersave minfreq=0% maxfreq=100% policy=powersave [/Profile] [Profile] name=performance minfreq=0% maxfreq=100% policy=performance [/Profile] [Rule] name=battery ac=off profile=conservative [/Rule] [Rule] name=battery_low ac=off battery_interval=0-10 profile=powersave [/Rule] [Rule] name=ac ac=on profile=ondemand [/Rule]
Now you can start the cpufreqd daemon. Add it to the
# rc-update add cpufreqd default battery # rc
Sometimes it can be desirable to select another policy than the daemon chooses,
for example when battery power is low, but you know that AC will be available
soon. In that case you can turn on cpufreqd's manual mode with
The last thing to check is that your new policies do a good job. An easy way to do so is monitoring CPU speed while working with your laptop:
# watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo
# watch x86info -mhz
Depending on your setup, CPU speed should increase on heavy load, decrease on
no activity or just stay at the same level. When using
As you can see in
The first thing to check is the standby/suspend/off timings of the display. As
this depends heavily on your windowmanager, I'll let you figure it out
yourself. Just two common places: Blanking the terminal can be done with
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier [...] [...] Option "BlankTime" "5"
# Blank the screen after 5 minutes (Fake)Option "StandbyTime" "10" # Turn off screen after 10 minutes (DPMS)Option "SuspendTime" "20" # Full suspend after 20 minutesOption "OffTime" "30" # Turn off after half an hour[...] EndSection [...] Section "Monitor" Identifier [...] Option "DPMS" "true" [...] EndSection
This is the same for XFree86 and
Probably more important is the backlight dimming. If you have access to the
dimming settings via a tool, write a small script that dims the backlight in
battery mode and place it in your
To be able to set the brightness level, the ibm_acpi module has to be loaded with the experimental parameter.
(Please read the warnings above before doing this!)# echo "options ibm_acpi experimental=1" >> /etc/modules.d/ibm_acpi # /sbin/modules-update # echo ibm_acpi >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 # modprobe ibm_acpi
This should work without error messages and a file
# See /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness for available values # Please read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ibm-acpi.txt # brigthness level in ac mode. Default is 7.BRIGHTNESS_AC=7 # brightness level in battery mode. Default is 4.BRIGHTNESS_BATTERY=4
#!/sbin/runscript set_brightness() { if on_ac_power then LEVEL=${BRIGHTNESS_AC:-7} else LEVEL=${BRIGHTNESS_BATTERY:-4} fi if [ -f /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness ] then ebegin "Setting LCD brightness" echo "level ${LEVEL}" > /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness eend $? elif [[ -e /usr/bin/acpitool && -n $(acpitool -T | grep "LCD brightness") ]] then ebegin "Setting LCD brightness" acpitool -l $LEVEL >/dev/null || ewarn "Unable to set lcd brightness" eend $? else ewarn "Setting LCD brightness is not supported." ewarn "For IBM Thinkpads, check that ibm_acpi is loaded into the kernel" ewarn "For Toshiba laptops, you've got to install app-laptop/acpitool" fi } start() { set_brightness } stop () { set_brightness }
When done, make sure brightness is adjusted automatically by adding it to the battery runlevel.
# chmod +x /etc/init.d/lcd-brightness # rc-update add lcd-brightness battery # rc
Hard disks consume less energy in sleep mode. Therefore it makes sense to
activate power saving features whenever the hard disk is not used for a certain
amount of time. I'll show you two alternative possibilities to do it. First,
laptop-mode will save most energy due to several measures which prevent or at
least delay write accesses. The drawback is that due to the delayed write
accesses a power outage or kernel crash will be more dangerous for data loss.
If you don't like this, you have to make sure that there are no processes which
write to your hard disk frequently. Afterwards you can enable power saving
features of your hard disk with
Recent kernels (2.6.6 and greater, recent 2.4 ones and others with patches)
include the so-called
# emerge laptop-mode-tools
Recent versions (1.11 and later) of laptop-mode-tools include a new tool
# lm-profiler Profiling session started. Time remaining: 600 seconds [4296896.602000] amarokapp Time remaining: 599 seconds [4296897.714000] sort [4296897.970000] mv Time remaining: 598 seconds Time remaining: 597 seconds [4296900.482000] reiserfs/0
After profiling your system for ten minutes, lm-profiler will present a list of services which might have caused disk accesses during that time.
Program: "atd" Reason: standard recommendation (program may not be running) Init script: /etc/init.d/atd (GUESSED) Do you want to disable this service in battery mode? [y/N]: n
To disable atd as suggested in the example above, you would run
If you don't want to use laptop-mode, you must take special care to disable
services that write to your disk frequently -
# rc-update del cupsd battery
You can also use
The second possibility is using a small script and
#!/sbin/runscript depend() { after hdparm } start() { ebegin "Activating Power Management for Hard Drives" hdparm -q -S12 /dev/hda eend $? } stop () { ebegin "Deactivating Power Management for Hard Drives" hdparm -q -S253 /dev/hda eend $? }
# chmod +x /etc/init.d/pmg_hda # /sbin/depscan.sh # rc-update add pmg_hda battery
Another possibility is to deactivate swap in battery mode. Before writing a swapon/swapoff switcher, make sure there is enough RAM and swap isn't used heavily, otherwise you'll be in big problems.
If you don't want to use laptop-mode, it's still possible to minimize disk
access by mounting certain directories as
none /tmp tmpfs size=32m 0 0
In case you own an ATI graphics card supporting PowerPlay (dynamic clock
scaling for the the graphics processing unit GPU), you can activate this
feature in X.org. Open
Section "Device" [...] Option "DynamicClocks" "on" EndSection
Wireless LAN cards consume quite a bit of energy. Put them in Power Management
mode in analogy to the
#!/sbin/runscript start() { ebegin "Activating Power Management for Wireless LAN" iwconfig wlan0 power on eend $? } stop () { ebegin "Deactivating Power Management for Wireless LAN" iwconfig wlan0 power off eend $? }
Starting this script will activate power saving features for wlan0. Save it as
# chmod +x /etc/init.d/pmg_wlan0 # /sbin/depscan.sh # rc-update add pmg_wlan0 battery
There are two problems with USB devices regarding energy consumption: First,
devices like USB mice, digital cameras or USB sticks consume energy while
plugged in. You cannot avoid this (nevertheless remove them in case they're not
needed). Second, when there are USB devices plugged in, the USB host controller
periodically accesses the bus which in turn prevents the CPU from going into
sleep mode. The kernel offers an experimental option to enable suspension of
USB devices through driver calls or one of the
Device Drivers USB support [*] Support for Host-side USB [*] USB suspend/resume (EXPERIMENTAL)
ACPI defines different sleep states. The more important ones are
They can be called whenever the system is not in use, but a shutdown is not wanted due to the long boot time.
The ACPI support for these sleep states is marked experimental for good reason. APM sleep states seem to be more stable, however you can't use APM and ACPI together.
Power Management Options ---> [*] Power Management support ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support ---> [*] ACPI Support [*] Sleep States
Once your kernel is properly configured, you can use the
# emerge hibernate-script
Some configuration has to be done in
To configure sleep, edit
Ready? Now is the last chance to backup any data you want to keep after
executing the next command. Notice that you probably have to hit a special key
# hibernate-ram
If you're still reading, it seems to work. You can also setup standby (S1) in a
similar way by copying
This section introduces hibernation, where a snapshot of the running system is written to disk before powering off. On resume, the snapshot is loaded and you can go on working at exactly the point you called hibernate before.
There are two different implementations for S4. The original one is swsusp,
then there is the newer suspend2 with a nicer interface (including fbsplash
support). A
Suspend2 is not included in the mainline kernel yet, therefore you either have
to patch your kernel sources with the patches provided by
The kernel part for both swusp and suspend2 is as follows:
Power Management Options --->
(hibernate with swsusp)[*] Software Suspend (replace /dev/SWAP with your swap partition)(/dev/SWAP) Default resume partition (hibernate with suspend2)Software Suspend 2 --- Image Storage (you need at least one writer) [*] File Writer [*] Swap Writer --- General Options [*] LZF image compression (replace /dev/SWAP with your swap partition)(swap:/dev/SWAP) Default resume device name [ ] Allow Keep Image Mode
The configuration for swsusp is rather easy. If you didn't store the location
of your swap partition in the kernel config, you can also pass it as a
parameter with the
# rc-update add hibernate-cleanup boot
To activate hibernate with swsusp, use the hibernate script and set
If you experience kernel panics due to uhci or similar, try to compile USB
support as module and unload the modules before sending your laptop to sleep
mode. There are configuration options for this in
# nano -w /etc/hibernate.conf
(Make sure you have a backup of your data)# hibernate
The following section discusses the setup of suspend2 including fbsplash support for a nice graphical progress bar during suspend and resume.
The first part of the configuration is similar to the configuration of swsusp.
In case you didn't store the location of your swap partition in the kernel
config, you have to pass it as a kernel parameter with the
# rc-update add hibernate-cleanup boot
Now edit
# nano -w /etc/hibernate.conf
(Make sure you have a backup of your data)# hibernate
Please configure
# mkdir -p /etc/portage # echo "sys-apps/suspend2-userui fbsplash" >> /etc/portage/package.use # emerge suspend2-userui
The ebuild tells you to make a symlink to the theme you want to use. For
example, to use the
# ln -sfn /etc/splash/livecd-2005.1 /etc/splash/suspend2
If you don't want a black screen in the first part of the resume process, you
have to add the
# mount /boot # mkdir ~/initrd.d # cp /boot/fbsplash-emergence-1024x768 ~/initrd.d/ # cd ~/initrd.d # gunzip -c fbsplash-emergence-1024x768 | cpio -idm --quiet -H newc # rm fbsplash-emergence-1024x768 # cp /usr/sbin/suspend2ui_fbsplash sbin/ # find . | cpio --quiet --dereference -o -H newc | gzip -9 > /boot/fbsplash-suspend2-emergence-1024x768
Afterwards adjust
# suspend2ui_fbsplash -t
Afterwards open
*) # logger "ACPI action $action is not defined"
$ grep capacity /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info design capacity: 47520 mWh last full capacity: 41830 mWh
If the "last full capacity" differs significantly from the design capacity, your battery is probably broken. Try to claim your warranty.

What is "heat illness"?
You've undoubtedly heard of heat stroke. Heat illness includes heat stroke, but it is actually an umbrella term for a series of cumulative and progressing conditions that can occur as a result of prolonged exertion in or exposure to hot environments. Factors that contribute to increased risk for heat illness include dehydration, lack of acclimatization, poor physical fitness, overweight or obesity, skin disorders, medications or supplements, fever, and chronic disease. Although the terms "heat illness" and "heat injury" are often used interchangeably, they also are not the same. The Army is currently in the process of redefining and clarifying these terms. Minor heat illnesses include heat rash and heat cramps. Heat rash is the mildest form of heat illness and causes skin irritation such as itchiness or a prickly sensation. Heat cramps, the next stage of heat illness, can cause painful muscle spasms as a result of dehydration and/or excessive sweating in hot temperatures. If you begin to recognize any of these symptoms during exercise or exertion in the heat, or if you suspect that you're becoming less tolerant, rest and recover, if possible in cooler temperatures. Apply cold cloths or cold water to directly to the skin, particularly to the head, neck and groin. Seek medical attention if symptoms are not relieved.
Major heat illnesses, as defined by AR40-501: Standards of Medical Fitness, include heat exhaustion, heat injury, and heat stroke. Heat exhaustion may cause headache, fatigue, dizziness, feeling faint, rapid pulse, nausea, cold skin, and/or heavy sweating and can usually be resolved quickly with recovery in a cool environment, if available. It is important to recognize these symptoms quickly to prevent progression of heat illness. Heat injury is a more severe heat illness. Symptoms may be similar to those of heat exhaustion, but at this stage organ damage can occur. Heat stroke is the most severe, and possibly life threatening, stage of heat illness and occurs when your core temperature continues to rise above 104° F. It is distinguished by injury to the brain, which may include symptoms of irrational behavior, extreme confusion, seizures, or unconsciousness. It is likely that you will not be able to care for yourself in this situation, which is why it is important to recognize early symptoms of heat illness.
If possible, use the buddy system during prolonged heat exertion, in case emergency medical attention is necessary, because permanent injury or death can occur. It's also possible to develop heat illness if you're overdressed in more moderate temperatures, so it's important to always listen to your body and remove layers as necessary, even if you're not in extreme heat. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can be prevented by addressing early symptoms of heat illness, so learn the symptoms and watch for them in yourself and others in your company. Check out other HPRC resources on heat acclimatization and other ways to prevent heat illness.

*In a recurring series,*Vanity Fair pulls back the curtain on awards season's most visually enticing films, revealing exclusive details of the creative process of art directors, costume designers, makeup artists, cinematographers, and more. This week, David Gropman—nominated this year for his second Oscar—discusses his production design for Ang Lee'sLife of Pi.
Before Ang Lee boarded the big-screen adaptation of Life of Pi, Yann Martel's best-selling novel was largely considered unfilmable. In addition to the book's structural complications and the obstacles inherent in shooting a film set mostly at sea, the gripping fantasy adventure describes settings and scenarios so magical that they would seem to defy onscreen translation. To pull off this seemingly impossible task—materializing a nonexistent island, re-creating a gorgeous Parisian landmark (on an abandoned airport tarmac no less), and devising complicated set pieces—Lee enlisted production designer David Gropman (The Cider House Rules, Hairspray).
Ironically, the crew eventually ended up filming the majority of Life on Pi's fantastic 3D scenes at an abandoned airport in Taichung, Taiwan. "All of the airport hangars were turned into soundstages, the terminal building became our production offices, and on the tarmac we built the back lot as well as a couple other sets." Because the film's eponymous protagonist, Pi, spends 227 days at sea, the central set piece for Lee and Gropman comprised both a water tank—the largest self-generating wave tank in the world—and the lifeboat that shelters both Pi and Richard Parker, the Bengal tiger that surrealistically becomes Pi's first mate. For inspiration, Gropman pored over archival drawings of steel lifeboats that were manufactured in the 1940s, IMDB anachronisms be damned. "I knew that the period of our movie was the 1970s—and at that point, lifeboats on large vessels and certainly military ships were fiberglass. But I couldn't imagine anything but a steel lifeboat." Gropman hired a yacht company in Taiwan to construct two steel vessels before acquiring five fiberglass variations, of alternating dimensions. "The biggest challenge was figuring out how big to make the lifeboat[s] so that [Lee and his crew members] could do everything they needed to do . . . yet so that the audience still thought you were in a real lifeboat." Ultimately, none of the boats were different by more than a foot in length or width.
For realism, Gropman painted the vessel in authentic, if difficult-to-film, hues—bright white for the lifeboat, off-white for the tarp, and safety orange for the boat's interior. "Thankfully Ang, who would not be someone to go off chart with the reality of that situation, was perfectly all right with those two challenging colors," Gropman says. "The white, orange, and the blue of the sky and the water completely inform the color palette of the film. To me, that image is everything. As proud as I am of all other aspects of the film, I am proud of that . . . that the lifeboat feels so real."
For additional authenticity, the production-design team continually applied different finishes to the fleet to make it seem as though the boat had been distressed at sea. Another production-design indicator of how long Pi and Richard Parker had been adrift was the number of tiger scratches inside the boat. "Tigers have a habit of sort of scratching their claws on wood," Gropman explains. "It's almost like a nervous habit. It was something that Ang had observed early on . . . and he thought it would be a great way to show the passing of time and the distressing of the boat." To approximate an actual tiger's scratches, Gropman constructed "a wooden board with screws coming through it, the screws placed to reflect the space between the tiger's claws. We worked it back and forth just the same way the tiger does."
Gropman's most difficult challenge, however, involved not the sea but the island that Pi discovers after hundreds of days adrift. In the book, the surreal destination is described as being covered in carnivorous algae and populated entirely by meerkats. After studying different islands and their vegetation, Gropman deduced that "the form of plant life that most mimicked what Martel wrote is the banyan tree. Not only is the banyan tree native to India—which is perfect, since its image would have been planted in Pi's imagination—it was the best solution because this type of vegetation, for lack of a better word, keeps procreating and duplicating itself." After filming for a day on a banyan-tree reserve on the southern coast of Taiwan, Gropman created the rest of the island—including the forest bed, the tree that Pi climbs, the landing where the rowboat first washes up, and the small pool where he swims—on the soundstage studio in Taichung.
Another location that proved difficult was the Piscine Molitor, the real swimming pool in Paris that serves as the inspiration for Pi's unconventional full name—Piscine Molitor Patel. Since the pool is derelict now and far from the 1950s-flashback glory in which it is described in the novel, Gropman designed an exact footprint of the structure on the tarmac in Taichung. In addition to the pool, the production-design team built a walkway, a section of the changing rooms, and a balcony that overlooks it— all painted in vibrant colors inspired by historical photos of the landmark. "There is no question that it was Ang's intention to make that [sequence] feel very much like an old postcard," Gropman says of the overall eye- popping effect. If audiences look closely, they will notice that with the help of C.G.I., Lee also inserted the Eiffel Tour, Notre Dame, and other iconic elements of the Parisian skyline—ones that are not actually visible from the pool's location, in the 16th Arrondissement—at the top of the frame to "lovingly elevate" the visual.
Gropman says that he was not hired to work on the film because of his ability to materialize islands and postcard-perfect Parisian swimming pools, however. "Lee was interested in using me because, many years ago, before becoming a production designer, I worked as a theater designer. He wanted to explore the idea of how the film would look if you imagined it as theater sets. Because of the great depth that he gives you [with the 3D format], you almost feel like this whole world is presented to you onstage." The theatricality of the film is best exemplified in its opening moments, which show animals parading about their zoo habitats—zoo habitats that, Gropman says, "were almost designed as little theater sets. The environments almost look like dioramas or re-creations of the country or the area that the different animals come from. We did that very specifically with a lot of painted backdrops and by stacking things, like wings and legs, up to add perspective, like you would on a theater set." In the book, Pi's father owns a zoo in Pondicherry. Since the closest thing to a zoo in that Southern India city is a botanical garden, however, Lee and Gropman used the garden as their primary backdrop, and animals were added digitally later. Other sequences were filmed at the Taipei Zoo, with the aesthetic upgrades of mural backgrounds and composite paintings for added theatricality.
Much has been made about Life of Pi's inventive use of 3D as a means to lure in, as opposed to jar, audiences. When asked how the third dimension informed his design, Gropman says that Lee encouraged him to learn as much about the medium as possible. "I even enrolled in a master class with my art director in 3D so that we could hear all of the dos and don'ts of production design." Laughing, he adds, "And then I would say we pretty much went ahead and broke those rules."
"I understood the principles and took advantage of them," he says. "But really what you are doing as a designer is creating this world where the story is going to take place. That world is going to have dimension or depth regardless of whether you are shooting 3D or not."

Echoes of Violence: A Study Makes a Connection Between Recent Abuse and Mortality
November/December 2012
Interview with Kathleen M. Weber, R.N. on the study, "The Effect of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) on Mortality: A Longitudinal Study of U.S. Women with and at Risk for HIV," at the 19th International AIDS Conference, July 2012 in Washington, D.C.
Enid Vázquez: Your findings were clear and fascinating, and I wanted to talk with you about the experiences and inspirations for the study, but let me start by asking if this is the first time there was a correlation found between abuse and survival?
Kathleen Weber, Cook County Health and Hospital Systems: This is the first time we saw a correlation between recent abuse and mortality. Even in this analysis, when we looked at just history of abuse alone without looking at current abuse separately, there was no correlation. And part of that is that 78% of our women have a history of abuse, so a sample of those who have never been abused is quite small. But the women who had experienced current abuse in addition to having a history of abuse were the women with whom we saw that increased mortality risk. It's been a long time and we really needed to have enough "dust," unfortunately, to occur to be able to actually look at this and then to control for all the other things that are associated with death like smoking, substance abuse, and depression. So in this model, all of those things are actually controlled for -- you need a longer period of time and a greater number of deaths to be able to do that, statistically. This is really the first time we've seen this in the WIHS data.
EV: In terms of the inspirations for the study, do you think they relate to critical consciousness as raised by Gwendolyn Kelso, for example, and why women stay in bad relationships after you give them referrals for help?
KM: When you look at the WIHS study and you look at the graphs, the abuse is definitely decreasing over time, which is a good thing. For women in the WIHS there was a reduction over the 17-year period in which this was looked at. It is telling us that women are accessing some services because every six months [when the women are seen], when they answer "yes" about being in an abusive relationship, they do get a referral. I think in the process of asking women regularly about abuse raises their awareness that maybe this isn't the experience other people are having -- otherwise they wouldn't see me here [at a referral site]. It brings the discussion to the table, not just in the WIHS study but in the provider relationship.
So we're thinking if over time you keep asking people about their experience, they start thinking about their experience, and then slowly seek access to available services or look for opportunities to get services. In a Cook County-related study in JAMA [Journal of the American Medical Association] in August, where they looked at whether referrals actually reduced violence, they didn't find any substantive randomized, controlled clinical trials, but we know from working with women that it takes a long time. You can't just say, "Here's a postcard and the address of a place where you can get help." It might take years and years of a relationship with a service provider and really concrete support to get women the help they need. You know, a postcard alone is better than nothing, but it's probably not the most effective approach to get women out of an abusive relationship, right?
EV: Some people don't get that. What are some other approaches?
KW: You asked about Gwen's research. She's looking at our Chicago WIHS in terms of racial and sexual discrimination. Sometimes, as you get a sense of what's happening and you become more involved socio-politically, things start to change for women as they become more empowered. Part of the study is an offshoot of a bigger study Mardge Cohen [M.D., CORE Center in Chicago, where WIHS is conducted] is conducting in collaboration with the Boston [University] group looking at gender roles and this concept of self-silencing, what women do in terms of a tendency to silence themselves to be in a relationship or caring for their children at the expense of taking care of themselves. If those are the expectations you feel you're supposed to fulfill as a woman, as a mother, as a partner, you can see where that might be setting yourself up for situations where you're more likely to be abused or in an abusive relationship and not able to get out. So that's been some of the work that's been happening here locally. It's starting to look more at women, gender roles, and particular cultures, what the norms might be, or the expectations. It gets complicated when women are single and they have HIV and the stigma of HIV might also play a part in that relationship.
EV: I was thinking your group started this study because there's a clear relationship between past abuse and addiction, HIV infection, and other concerns.
KM: Mardge had looked at the connection [of abuse, substance use, and race] to antiviral therapy in a study she did. In terms of WIHS, you ask questions and you get a sense of how much abuse has happened. In collaboration with the Boston University group, we started this study to have women do these biographical narratives. When the women started to tell their stories in an unscripted way, it was just incredible how many women had horrifying experiences as early as childhood and then beyond. We felt this was something to be aware of, and if you're not working with women closely you don't have an appreciation of how difficult these women's lives really are.
For us, on some level, people laugh. It's like, "Duh, stress is a bad thing. Abuse is a bad thing." But nobody ever really believes you until you show it.
EV: It needs to be documented.

|In a time of ever-increasing energy prices, this week President Bush overturned a long-standing executive order banning offshore oil exploration in certain parts of the country. The move is largely symbolic at this point, as additional congressional action would be needed to fully open up offshore oil drilling. Offshore drilling has also turned into an election-year issue, with presumptive Republican presidential candidate John McCain supporting ending the drilling ban, while the campaiGn of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama is saying that opening up offshore drilling "would merely prolong the failed energy policies we have seen from Washington for thirty years." In this segment, we'll talk about the realities of offshore oil drilling. How much oil might there be? When would it be available? And what other consequences might offshore drilling have?

The spring allergy season is here -- and it's arrived early.
The spring allergy season is here -- and it's arrived early.
A wet winter and a few early warming spells followed by immediate cold snaps have resulted in short, intense bursts of tree pollen, said Dr. Summit Shah of Premier Allergy, which has several offices in greater Columbus.
Strong wind gusts then spread around the misery.
The good news, Shah said, is the full force of the season is about four weeks away.
"One of the key things we tell our patients, especially in the spring or fall time: Knowing is half the battle," he said.
"If you find out what you're allergic to, you can find a safe and effective treatment plan to combat your allergies."
Dr. Charity Fox, assistant professor of internal medicine at Ohio State University Medical Center, said April is a good time to undergo scratch testing, when a series of allergens are placed on a patient's skin, which is then pierced.
If the skin swells at the site of the scratch, the patient is determined to have a hypersensitivity to that allergen.
Establishing whether the patient is truly allergic to pollen, as opposed to merely sensitive to it, will help set a proper drug-therapy regimen, Fox said.
"Pollen can be an irritant, so it doesn't mean you have high allergy antibodies," she said. "And with the rapid temperature shifts, that's pretty hard on the nose."
Some over-the-counter medications are effective in treating both sensitivities as well as allergies, Fox said.
But there are a variety of inexpensive prescription medications -- nasal antihistamines and steroids, eye drops and pills -- that carry fewer side effects, she said.
Some allergy medications, particularly nasal steroids, take time to become effective, so it's best to start a drug therapy well before pollen counts reach a durable peak, Fox said.
"The pollen absolutely won't wait," she said, noting tree pollen is followed by grass pollen and mold spores, with ragweed showing up toward the beginning of fall.
Another option is immunotherapy treatment, or shots, which start at a low dose so the patient can build a tolerance and maintenance becomes less frequent.
"They will put you in remission, so to speak," Fox said. "They diminish the number of cells and the reactivity of cells that are driving the allergic response."
Allergies aren't only annoying, they carry risk factor for other diseases, such as chronic sinus infections, recurrent ear infections in children and obstructive sleep apnea, Fox said.
Others who don't want to take medication can go the avoidance route, such as staying indoors in the morning, when the pollen count is high, and during high-wind episodes, she said.
"You can run the air conditioner in the summer and your HVAC system to help remove pollen with good filters," Fox said, "but there's a limit on how much avoidance you can do.
"That's always the first step, to get some kind of environmental control, but that's usually in and of itself not enough."

Tattoo Stories: Dave's Bavarian "Capo Girl"
During our calendar contest, I asked y'all to tell me, on the Needles & Sins Syndicate Group on Facebook, what you'd like to see more of on the site. A few people said they wanted more personal tattoo stories from collectors, as well as the artist interviews. Well, I hear ya!
Here's a great story from Dave Copeland. Dave & I started chatting about the artists in my "Color Tattoo Art" book and how he was collecting work from many of them. I asked him to send me a pic of one of the tattoos, and he graciously sent his latest one, which was done by the wonderful Joe Capobianco -- renowned for his signature style of pin-ups, which are so distinct, people call them "Capo Girls." [Check my Q&A with Joe from a couple of years ago about how he developed his style.]
Dave also shared the story behind the tattoo (which just won "Best Large Color" at the DC Tattoo Expo):
"I was in the Army for 14 years, and my first duty station was Augsburg, Germany in Bavaria. While there, I learned fluent German, I got married, had my son, and all in all had the most enjoyable years of my life. One of the biggest things we'd do (before the marriage and kid) was to go to festivals (fests) and drink copious amounts of German beer from the 1 liter beer mugs (Mass). The women at the fests wore dirndls--and traditionally in Bavaria, they wore blue and white dirndls. One of my favorite places to go was a full-time fest haus in Munich called The Hofbrauhaus (hence the HB on the mug). I later did another tour in Mainz where the tradition continued, but Bavaria was always my favorite part of Germany. I even speak German with Bavarian accent.
When deciding on my tattoo, I wanted either a hula pin-up for my time in Hawaii, or a beer pin-up for my time in Germany. I saw that Joe has done a ton of hula tattoos, but I didn't see a beer girl in his repertoire, so that's what I went with. He is going to do the other side with a Hawaiian theme, and I'll be hard-pressed to not have a pinup on that side, given how well this one turned out.
Maybe this is more detail than you care to hear, but Joe was a super cool dude on top of being a great artist. He was very humble and down to earth, and talking with him was like talking with an old friend. Sometimes, trying to connect with your artist can be difficult, but Joe made it easy. He gladly signed the "Color Tattoo Art" book and his own book and drew me some purdy pictures to go with his signature.
Joe's Hope Gallery was awesome and the people there were awesome. The shop is ultra-professional, and this is literally, the first time I had an artist meet with me and start on time. Joe does all his own setup and break down, and the air of pretension that comes with a lot of artists, simply wasn't there. It was also pretty cool to get tattooed while listening to a mix of doo-wop and music from across many decades, and not be bombarded by constant death metal.
All in all, by far the best shop I have been in."

Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum won Republican primaries in Mississippi and Alabama Tuesday night. The victories underscore his appeal with the conservative base of the Republican Party.
And last night brought another turn among many in the Republican presidential race.
RICK SANTORUM: We did it again.
MONTAGNE: Rick Santorum emerged victorious from competitive contests in Alabama and Mississippi, reflecting his appeal with the conservative base of the Republican Party. NPR's Debbie Elliott reports.
DEBBIE ELLIOTT, BYLINE: They weren't whistling Dixie when news came that Santorum swept Alabama and Mississippi, but a couple of his supporters did offer this anthem to their candidate.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (Singing) ...victory tonight, got a man who understands that God gave the Bill of Rights.
ELLIOTT: There will be justice for the unborn, factories back on our shores, they sang. Santorum held his election night rally in Lafayette, Louisiana. He came to Cajun county to lay claim to the next Deep South state up for grabs in the GOP presidential race. The primary here is next week. Santorum said Southern conservatives stuck with him even though the odds and the establishment were against his candidacy.
SANTORUM: The time is now for conservatives to pull together. The time is now to make sure, to make sure that we have the best chance to win this election. And the best chance to win this election is to nominate a conservative to go up against Barack Obama, who can take him on on every issue.
ELLIOTT: Pressure is mounting for former Speaker Newt Gingrich to drop out so that the conservative vote isn't split. Santorum wants a head to head contest with the more moderate Mitt Romney. Santorum supporter Kevin Roberts is headmaster of a Catholic school in Lafayette.
KEVIN ROBERTS: He just needs to get out of the way as a gentleman. You know, as a historian he knows it's time to step aside.
ELLIOTT: Even though Gingrich's Southern strategy doesn't appear to be working, he says he's staying in the race.

Yumi Tamura has a knack for doing something different. Her shojo/action/romance/drama/shonen-ai blockbuster, Chicago, was as enjoyable as it was hard to categorize. One book into Basara, not only do I get the same feeling of refreshing originality emanating from the work, but it seems to possess even greater depth to the world and characters than her other domestically available release.
This is a good sign.
Touted by Viz as "one of the most popular shojo manga of the 90s," I can easily see how Basara earned that claim.
While this is a fantasy (or perhaps science fiction) story, the realism with which it is presented makes it more of an alternate future than a far-off fairy tale. This is not escapist storytelling, but rather a prophetic vision of a destiny that may await mankind. Basara is a fictional story set in a real location (albeit one that has been modified by Yumi Tamura's imagination) brought to life by real characters.
With all of the new releases from Viz, there really wasn't anything in particular about this manga that nabbed my attention. When I read it, I was simply working my way through the 15 other manga I had just purchased. Excel Saga was the most anticipated book of the bunch, and I read that first. Seeing as the remainder of my stack was essentially unknown to me, I read Basara merely when I got to it.
That won't happen with the second volume, I can assure you.
In this post-apocalyptic (isn't that an oxymoron?) world, the formerly great nations of earth have been reduced to tribal and feudal status following a great cataclysm. As power-hungry warlords try to claim more land of what was once Japan, helpless unincorporated villagers can do nothing but surrender to the brutal warriors or be slaughtered for resisting.
Thus comes into play Yumi Tamura's handy definition of "Basara." She explains that a Basara is "a free but noble spirit who disavows established authority and rejects the restriction of convention." Such a soul is exactly what the troubled people of the future need.
Twins Sasara and Tatara, children of a tribal lord, know that they are a special pair. Tatara is suspected of being the "child of destiny," the boy destined to lead his people to freedom. Sasara is...well, she actually isn't special. In fact, she feels as if she is as common as they come, and she would've lived her life completely unnoticed if she didn't happen to be Tatara's twin sister.
However, when fate offers the two an unexpected and tragic twist, Sasara discovers she may be more special than she was raised to believe.
The unfurling of the fast-paced story is filled with believable unpredictability and emotional ups and downs aplenty. You may not know where Tamura is taking you, but your destination will entrance you as will the ride to get there. As I said, I'm only into the first book and already quite a bit has happened, and the story has earned my rabid dedication.
Fancy screen tones aren't employed as much as traditional shading, and while Tamura's illustrations capture details well, there's an impressionistic quality to her work that elevates the visuals beyond the look of a more realistically-penciled manga. By keeping some elements hazy, a reader's imagination is occasionally allowed to fill in certain scenes in the way that only a unique human mind can.
This is gritty shojo, with the large, expressive eyes frequently appearing alongside depictions of the brutality of Basara's setting. Being a story of war, it has the potential to get rather messy, and the Older Teen rating is appropriate.
Included in the work is a cute section from the author called "Tam Tam Time," where we learn how weird the author is (not that weird is bad!) and a heartfelt note from the editor of this edition. Another interesting addition to the release is a section recommending other titles readers may be interested in. While there are still a few pages devoted to promoting other books, there are three in particular (Vagabond, Chicago, and Banana Fish) that are treated to a lengthy description. Personally, I'd have to say that fans of Basara looking for more may want to check out my favorite post-apocalyptic work of all time - Battle Angel Alita.
So now, among other things, I'm forced to suffer and wait not only for the newest Battle Angel, Love Hina, GTO, and Excel Saga, but for the next installment of Basara, as well.
Good thing there are truckloads of other manga arriving weekly to keep me occupied.

Jerry Seinfeld once did a comedy bit about rooting for professional sports teams.
"You're actually rooting for the clothes, when you get right down to it," he said in a monologue during his 1990s sitcom. "You are standing and cheering and yelling for your clothes to beat the clothes from another city."
As a professional sports writer for the better part of 10 years, I understand where Seinfeld was coming from. With 17 high schools and a Division I college athletic program to cover, sometimes seeing the teams and players as nothing more than series of different colors and uniform numbers is a good method to keep everything organized in my brain.
Over the course of the last decade, I incorporated this attitude into my everyday sports viewing. I still enjoy watching pro sports but rarely do I wear a Red Sox cap when I enjoy a game at Fenway Park. I don't even cover pro sports, but I just figure wearing a Patriots or Bruins jersey around town won't do my reputation as an unbiased sports journalist any favors.
All of this went out the window, however, when I met my best friend from college in San Francisco for the Red Sox-Giants series.
I met John Valdez on my first day at the University of New Mexico in 1994, and in almost 20 years I don't believe I've ever had a conversation with the guy that wasn't about sports. Of course, living in New Mexico, Valdez is free to root for any team he chooses, and his passions have always been with the Giants and the Miami Dolphins. (He claims to like the Giants because the "SF" on their hats were the same design as his native Santa Fe High School. As for the Dolphins, I think he said something once about being a fan of the show "Flipper" when he was a kid, but I'm not sure).
Valdez is not a rational fan. As far as Valdez is concerned, the Giants can do no wrong. Every April, he predicts a 162-0 season. Even during the Giants' current woes (they were 59-73 as of Wednesday morning and well out of the pennant race), Valdez is convinced that the Giants will go undefeated in September, make the playoffs and repeat as World Series champions. The disgust and indifference toward the Red Sox that most Boston fans felt during the disastrous 2012 season would be preposterous to Valdez. He bleeds orange and black.
I knew Valdez would be dressed to the nines in Giants gear for the series at AT&T Park, and for me, this was no time to stick to my principles as a sports writer and rational sports fan. I had to, for lack of a better term, represent.
There was no way I was paying retail prices for a Red Sox jersey, so I went to eBay and ordered a couple at a discount. The return address on the package was South Korea, so they must have been knockoffs. I got a smart-looking road grey and a snazzy red batting-practice jersey. I also dug some of my old caps out of the closet that I hadn't worn in a decade and ran them through the wash with some OxiClean. I also picked up a few Red Sox T-shirts at discount — those of Kevin Youkilis, Ryan Dempster and Will Middlebrooks. Dempster was in the news during the week for plunking A-Rod and Middlebrooks hit a home run on the day I wore his shirt, so that was an appropriate choice. As for Youk, there's always nostalgia.
Turned out the jerseys were a fairly wise clothing choice, given the notoriously fickle weather in San Francisco, and the batting-practice jersey was light enough to be cool during the hot afternoon, but kept me warm at night when the temperatures fell. The road grey proved to be a little heavy during our second day in the city as we did the whole tourist bit (cruised the Bay, got a sundae at Ghirardelli Square, strolled through Chinatown) but was nice at the game.
Valdez, of course, showed up with a Giants road jersey, a pullover hoodie, numerous T-shirts and by the end of the series had obtained an orange-and-black wig.
Luckily for me, the Red Sox won two out of three from the Giants, earning bragging rights for the series and justifying my choice of clothing. Valdez had to catch an early flight back to Albuquerque, so he bolted in the seventh inning of the final game after Stephen Drew hit a three-run homer to give the Red Sox an 11-1 lead.
The jerseys are now back in my closet, and I probably won't wear them again until Valdez comes out to Boston should the Giants play at Fenway in a few years. By that time, each team's roster will probably feature a number of new faces. But it doesn't matter, because like Seinfeld said, in the end, we stay loyal to the clothes.

Access to specific physical destinations on the broker is controlled by authorization rules with a resource type of queue or topic, as the case may be. These rules regulate access to the following operations:
Sending messages to a queue: produce operation
Receiving messages from a queue: consume operation
Publishing messages to a topic: produce operation
Subscribing to and consuming messages from a topic: consume operation
Browsing a queue: browse operation
By default, all users and groups are authorized to perform all of these operations on any physical destination. You can change this by editing the default authorization rules in the access control properties file or overriding them with more specific rules of your own. For example, the rule
denies all members of the user group the ability to subscribe to the topic Admissions.
The final section of the access control file, includes authorization rules that specify for which users and groups the broker will auto-create a physical destination.
When a client creates a message producer or consumer for a physical destination that does not already exist, the broker will auto-create the destination (provided that the broker's imq.autocreate.queue or imq.autocreate.topic property is set to true).
A separate section of the access control file controls the ability of users and groups to perform such auto-creation. This is governed by authorization rules with a resourceType of queue or topic and an operation element of create. the resourceVariant element is omitted, since these rules apply to all queues or all topics, rather than any specific destination.
The default access control file contains the rules
queue.create.allow.user=* topic.create.allow.user=*
authorizing all users to have physical destinations auto-created for them by the broker. You can edit the file to restrict such authorization for specific users. For example, the rule
denies user Snoopy the ability to auto-create topic destinations.
Note that the effect of such auto-creation rules must be congruent with that of other physical destination access rules. For example, if you change the destination authorization rule to prohibit any user from sending a message to a queue, but enable the auto-creation of queue destinations, the broker will create the physical destination if it does not exist, but will not deliver a message to it.

From Puff Daddy and the Family's No Way Out album, this song features most of Bad Boy's star lyricists (no Mase). The original appeared on a random DJ Clue mixtape, making this the more popular version
The theme is similar yet somewhat the opposite of Wu-Tang's C.R.E.A.M., which also centers around the all-importance of money. Wu focuses on the struggles of making cash and how it controls them while Bad Boy brags about the pleasures of spending it. It's an excellent indicator of the changes hip-hop underwent from the early to the late 90's
The main beat features a sample from Love Unlimited's "I Did it For Love", while Biggie rhymes over a different beat featuring a sample from The Jackson 5's "It's Great to be Here".
In 2008, it was ranked number 32 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.

Market Place
Our showroom warehouse is not open to the public on a regular basis as our crew is regularly working at client's homes doing appraisals and getting homes ready for an onsite estate sale. However, many of our clients live in gated communities or high-rises where an onsite sale is not possible. So at any given time, our warehouse is full of quality items. If you add your name to our email list, you will get notifications (usually on Wednesday evenings) of our weekly sales and we do occasionally open the showroom when we have a Saturday available.
We will offer a "catalog" of sorts on this page where you can see some of the interesting items we have on consignment in our showroom. Please call or email for arrangements to purchase any of these items. We also usually have active listings on eBay for interesting small items – our seller listing is (as expected) JLATreasures.
