Minoan Lines Wifi — Part 2
April 16, 2011
A couple of days ago, we did some presentations about DNS at a FOSS NTUA meeting.
I prepared a presentation about DNS tunneling and how to bypass Captive Portals at Wifi Hotspots, which require authentication.
(We want to do another presentation, to test ICMP/ping tunnel too ;)).
I had blogged on that topic some time ago.
It was about time for a test-drive. 😛
I set up iodine, a DNS tunneling server(and client), and I was ready to test it, since I would be travelling with Minoan Lines the next day.
I first did some tests from my home 24Mbps ADSL connection, and the results weren't very encouraging. Although the tunnel did work, and I could route all of my traffic through the DNS tunnel, and over a second OpenVPN secure tunnel, bandwidth dropped to ~30Kbps, when using the NTUA FTP Server, through the DNS tunnel.
(The tunnel also worked with the NTUA Wifi Captive Portal, although at first we had some 'technical issues', ie I hadn't set up NAT on the server to masquarade and forward the traffic coming from the tunnel :P).
The problem is that the bandwidth of the Minoan Lines(actually Forthnet 'runs' it afaik) Wifi(not inside the 'local' network of course) was ~30Kbps(terrible, I know), without using DNS tunneling. So, I wasn't very optimistic. (I think they have some satelite connection, or something like that from the Wifi to the Internet).
When I was on the ship, I tried to test it. At first, I encountered another technical issue(the local DNS had an IP inside the Wifi local network, and due to NAT the IP our server was 'seeing', was different than the IP of the DNS packets, so we had to run iodined with the -c flag). Luckily, FOSS NTUA members(who had root access on the computer running iodined) are 1337 and fixed that in no time. 😛
And at last, I had a 'working' DNS tunnel, but with extremely high ping times(2sec RTT) to the other end of the tunnel, and when I tried to route all traffic through the tunnel I had a ridiculous 22sec RTT to ntua.gr. Of course even browsing the Web was impossible, since all the HTTP requests timed out before an answer could reach my laptop. 😛
However, because I am a Forthnet customer(for my ADSL connection), I was able to use my Username/Password of my home ADSL connection, and have free access to the Internet, from their hotspot(with the amaing bandwidth of ~30Kbps :P). At least they do the authentication over SSL. 😛
Although DNS tunneling didn't really work in this case(the tunnel itself worked, but due to the bandwidth being so low, I didn't have a 'usable' connection to the Internet), I think that in other hotspots, which provide better bandwidth/connection, it can be a very effective way to bypass the authentication and use them for free. 😉
Probably, there'll be a Part 3, with results from bandwidth benchmarks inside the NTUA Wifi, and maybe some ICMP tunneling stuff.
Cheers! 🙂

So what will happen if you have two firewalls? An ACL being enforced by the AP to block everything and redirect to portal.I understand for redirection to work dns must be let through and this is where the compromise lie. Then i added a second firewall after the ACL to only allow port 53 DNS to a specified DNS via server blocking DNS to any other server.

Amherst Central Schools encourage collaboration across grade levels and at home
Amherst Central Schools wanted to introduce tools to empower students and staff to collaborate and share ideas across classroom and grade levels, both at school and when working from home. The schools also needed a new email platform for students and teachers because their previous system was clunky.
"Learning is meant to be a social and collaborative process. Other devices that we evaluated were designed to be individual devices and didn't foster collaboration like Chromebooks."
Anthony Panella, assistant superintendent of curriculum and Instruction, Amherst Central Schools
In 2010 Amherst Central Schools chose Gmail as its email system and introduced G Suite for Education for all students and teachers. Shortly thereafter, the district launched a device pilot program and rolled out Chromebooks district-wide. Today classrooms for grades 3-12 are outfitted with Chromebook carts with one device for every student. The combination of G Suite for Education and Chromebooks encourage students to collaborate and work in teams and allow teachers to share resources and best practices. Currently, about 70 percent of the district has a 1:1 Chromebook environment. The district's goal is to introduce a 1:1 model district-wide by fall 2018.
Organization Profile
Located in the largest suburb of Buffalo, New York, Amherst Central Schools are known statewide for their music and arts programs. The district educates 2,900 student across two elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. Amherst Central Schools' mission is to prepare its diverse student body to succeed in their future careers and to be productive citizens of the community.

Summer 2013
Dr. Stein is the Robert Turell Professor in Cardiovascular Research in the Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison, Wisconsin. He is Director of the Preventive Cardiology Program, Director of the Vascular Health Screening Program, and Associate Director of Adult Echocardiography at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics. Dr. Stein is heavily involved in research on cardiovascular disease in people with HIV infection.
Mascolini: Many people with HIV carry a high burden of classic cardiovascular risk factors. How much do HIV infection and antiretrovirals add to that risk?
Stein: The impact of traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors -- smoking, abnormal lipids, diabetes -- outweighs the impact of HIV infection itself and antiretroviral therapy. In people with HIV and a low overall risk of cardiovascular disease, HIV and antiretrovirals will not greatly increase their risk of heart disease. In HIV-positive people at moderate or higher risk, the excess risk associated with HIV and antiretrovirals can put them over the edge for having a heart attack or developing heart disease.
Data indicating that there's an increased risk of cardiovascular disease with HIV infection have only recently been appreciated. The kind of research studies that we do in the HIV community aren't really optimally designed to determine how much excess cardiovascular disease risk HIV infection confers.
In the HIV community we do a great job conducting antiretroviral studies and looking at how effective a new drug is in treating HIV. We also do a good job assessing the complications of antiretroviral therapy. But because cardiovascular disease takes decades to develop and manifest itself, the HIV community is only now starting to appreciate that risk and starting to study it in a really robust way.
Most of these studies suggest that the excess cardiovascular risk with HIV infection is about 50%.1-4
Although 50% sounds high, it's a relative risk. If you're at low risk -- let's say your MI risk over the next decade is 2% -- and your risk goes up 50% to 3% over a decade, that's a pretty small increase. But if your 10-year risk is 20% or higher because you smoke and have high cholesterol, then that 50% increase with HIV raises your risk to 30% or more. At that point that excess risk with HIV becomes very important.
Mascolini: What about specific antiretrovirals? Should clinicians shy away from lopinavir or abacavir, for example, in people with an already high cardiovascular risk?
Stein: I don't think so. Taking care of patients with HIV infection is very complicated. But one principle overrides everything -- getting optimal viral suppression. And getting optimal control of HIV is the most important predictor of long-term survival. So as a cardiologist I would never tell an HIV treater or a patient with HIV infection that they can't start an antiretroviral because it raises their heart disease risk so much that it will overshadow the risk of uncontrolled HIV infection. There's no drug for treating HIV that I think is prohibitive from the standpoint of heart disease.
Having said that, I will add that there are certain protease inhibitors (ritonavir-boosted lopinavir and perhaps indinavir) and certain nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (abacavir and perhaps didanosine) that have been associated with heart disease. If everything is equal and the same amount of viral suppression can be obtained using a different agent, I would recommend staying away from those agents. But again the most important thing is to suppress the virus.
We and others have shown that obtaining adequate viral suppression is good for endothelial function -- it improves the ability of blood vessels to relax.5,6 When you look at the overall data for cardiovascular disease risk in people with HIV, some data suggest that uncontrolled viremia or inadequate treatment of HIV increases cardiovascular risk.7-9 Start with controlling the virus; then we can address cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Mascolini: Should everyone with HIV be screened regularly for cardiovascular disease?
Stein: All patients with HIV should be regularly screened for modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease, specifically smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, and poor lifestyle choices. In addition to smoking, those poor choices include not getting enough exercise and eating a diet of low nutritional quality. I don't think the next step of screening people with imaging tests usually is indicated. I don't think HIV-positive people routinely need stress tests or calcium scans or carotid ultrasounds. There are very specific indications for those tests.
Mascolini: Unlike US experts, the European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) does recommend an annual ECG for people with HIV.10 What do you think about that?
Stein: We don't recommend screening electrocardiograms in the United States, mainly because they're not very sensitive in picking up disease. And whenever you screen people there's a chance that you'll falsely mislabel someone as having disease. So we try not to screen people with an ECG unless there's a reason. If a patient is having symptoms that are suggestive of heart disease -- shortness of breath or chest discomfort -- doing a 12-lead electrocardiogram would absolutely be indicated. But for someone who doesn't have any symptoms, doing a 12-lead ECG doesn't really have any benefits and has the potential for some harm.
Mascolini: Should HIV-positive children and adolescents be screened?
Stein: First a caveat: I don't treat children and teens because I'm an adult cardiologist. I do recommend that kids with HIV be screened for cardiovascular disease risk factors. Although there's even less data in children with HIV than in adults, it looks like traditional risk factors -- along with uncontrolled HIV -- do predict most of the blood vessel dysfunction seen in kids with HIV. I think controlling the virus is critical in children, then making sure they live a healthy lifestyle.
I would default to the general population recommendations for screening of blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. For kids probably the more important points are making sure they don't start smoking and making sure they get adequate exercise and eat a healthy diet. Although HIV infection seems to cause vascular damage, I don't think having HIV accelerates blood vessel damage so quickly that we need to treat a 12-year-old as if that child is 40.
Mascolini: Some research suggests the Framingham equation lacks sensitivity in predicting cardiovascular disease in HIV-positive people.11,12 Should HIV clinicians use it or take a modified approach?
Stein: The Framingham risk score does a very good job at what it's meant to do, which is predicting 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease in otherwise healthy, predominantly white, young and middle-aged patients.1 It's a little less accurate with certain ethnic minorities, and a European group has found that it's less accurate in patients with HIV.11,12 But it's hard to know what to do with that information because the Framingham risk score is less accurate when used in Europeans because their lifestyle and genetic make-up are different from people in America.
What I say to patients and physicians is that the Framingham score is a good starting place for discussion and it tells you what's going to happen over 10 years. But it's not very precise and it doesn't tell you what's going to happen over your lifetime. We're developing lifetime cardiovascular risk calculators that I think will be more useful for clinicians, and we hope to see them within the next year. Updated lipid guidelines should also be coming out soon.
For now, clinicians should not hang their hat too much on any one number. If the MI risk over the next 10 years is 5%, that's a starting point for discussion. But then ask yourself what it is about the patient that might put them at higher or lower risk. With HIV, for example, that 5% risk over 10 years may be more like 7% or 8%. If a patient smokes 3 packs a day, the risk is probably higher than the Framingham score suggests because the score just counts a person as a smoker or a nonsmoker. On the other hand a patient may have a very healthy lifestyle -- may be lean and exercise regularly and have no one in the family with any heart problems. That profile moves a patient a little bit lower on the risk scale.
The Framingham score should be thought of as a starting point for discussion with recognition that there's error in it and that it's not perfect in people with HIV. It's also not perfect when you move away from the typical young or middle-aged white adult in the United States. For minorities and people of European, Asian, or South American descent, it becomes less accurate.
Mascolini: How aggressive should HIV clinicians be in pharmacologic management of abnormal lipids?
Stein: Let me start with what we know. We know that dyslipidemia predicts cardiovascular disease in patients with HIV. And we know that certain antiretroviral therapies and certain lifestyle habits add to that risk. Treating dyslipidemia in HIV patients is complicated because of the drug interactions between statins and antiretrovirals. Newer antiretroviral agents have less dyslipidemic effects, and some of these newer antiretrovirals have fewer drug interactions -- and that could make prescribing easier.
The question is how low you should go with lipid targets, and I think the answer depends on the patient's baseline cardiovascular disease risk. Patients with higher risk -- people who already have coronary disease, people with multiple risk factors -- need to be treated more aggressively. People who are younger and have a lower risk factor burden can be treated less aggressively.
I think clinicians treating people with HIV can default to the regular US guidelines for treating dyslipidemia14 but be a little bit more aggressive because of that excess risk with HIV infection. With someone at high risk, you're already going to treat them more aggressively, aiming at an LDL cholesterol below 100 mg/dL or even 70 mg/dL if they already have coronary disease. A patient who is solidly at low risk is still at low risk with HIV. It's those people in the middle -- those intermediate-risk patients -- where I'm inclined to be a little bit more aggressive, simply because they have HIV and that increases the risk by about 50%. That may put them over the threshold for treating them more aggressively.

The US has denounced Russia's policy of aiding the Syrian regime as "morally bankrupt," as tensions between Damascus and Ankara escalate over cargo seized from a Syrian passenger plane.
On the ground, the Syrian army took a pounding at the hands of rebels in northern Syria on Friday, a monitoring group said.
A rebel offensive killed more than 130 soldiers in two days, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights added, while more than 250 troops were taken prisoner as the insurgents advanced.
US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland refused to disclose to reporters what exactly had been in the cargo seized in Turkey on Wednesday, but said: "We have no doubt that this was serious military equipment," aimed at bolstering the Syrian regime.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, however, said that the Syrian Air plane intercepted by Turkey on a flight from Moscow to Damascus was carrying a cargo of dual-purpose radar equipment, and insisted Russia did not violate any laws.
"This cargo is electrical technical equipment for radar stations, this is dual-purpose equipment, but is not forbidden by any international conventions," Lavrov said.
Nuland said that Russia had not violated any embargo on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government, but said "the policy's still morally bankrupt."
"Everybody else on the Security Council is doing what it can unilaterally to ensure that the Assad regime is not getting support from the outside," she said in Washington. "We have been saying for almost a year now that no responsible country ought to be aiding and abetting the war machine of the Assad regime."
As fighting raged on the ground, the tensions between Syria and Turkey grew.
Turkey scrambled a fighter jet on Friday after a Syrian helicopter attacked the rebel-held town of Azmarin near the border, an official in Ankara said.
The Syrian foreign ministry accused Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of lying when he said the jet intercepted on Wednesday was carrying Russian military equipment.
Turkey's allies have warned of the risks embedded in the Syria conflict between the neighbors, which have exchanged cross-border fire amid fears the civil war could spark a regional conflagration.
Amid the growing alarm, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle was due in NATO partner Turkey yesterday for talks with his counterpart, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
"It is important that no one pours oil on the fire. We are counting on moderation and de-escalation," Westerwelle said.
UN-Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi was also scheduled to appear in Istanbul yesterday after talks with Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah on Friday.
Brahimi spokesman Ahmad Fawzi said Brahimi and the king agreed "on the dire need to stop the bloodshed and provide humanitarian aid to the more than 2.5 million Syrians" affected by the fighting, and 348,000 plus refugees in neighboring countries.
The Observatory said on Thursday was one of the deadliest days since the anti-regime revolt erupted in March last year, with at least 240 people killed nationwide.
On Friday, regime warplanes attacked two buildings in the Idlib town of Maaret al-Numan, where intense fighting has raged since rebels overran it on Tuesday after a fierce 48-hour battle, the Britain-based Syrian watchdog said.

Organizers called it "Center Ice White Out," as the mighty Anaheim Ducks held their annual casino night raising needed funds for the Orangewood Children's Foundation and for Court Appointed Special Advocates of Orange County, better known as CASA.
The handsome athletes proudly known as the Ducks took their calling seriously and showed up dressed in all white with an occasional splash of orange at their home turf, the Honda Center. The gentlemen mingled with the crowd of some 650 donors surrounding a sea of gaming tables, ultimately raising $100,000 for the two charities dedicated to serving foster children in Orange County.
The casino night was in the hands of an auxiliary committee known as 44 Women for Children, a small but dynamic group founded by Susan Samueli, wife and partner of Ducks owner Henry Samueli. Kimberly Kirksey, a dedicated 44 Women for Children member, led the event committee that produced the casino night with the important support of title sponsor, the Bill Klein family.
The sold-out crowd gambled at the tables and danced to the music of DJ Serafin. Some of the Ducks rotated in and out as dealers at the blackjack, craps and roulette tables, which were provided by the San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino.
The all-white-with-a-splash-of-orange theme was carried to extremes, including a blood orange specialty cocktail created for the night. The food — a lobster salad, oysters on the half shell, hand-rolled sushi, butternut squash soup — was all orange. A white asparagus soup was served and dessert was what else but white cake and white-hot chocolate to balance the effect of the blood orange cocktails. If that was not enough, white-baked Alaska came out flaming (orange) surrounded by orange fruit, including cantaloupe and the hottest little thing on the fruit market, Cutie tangerines.
Celebrity athletes supporting the evening included Ducks team captain Ryan Getzlaf, National Hockey League 2012 All-Star Corey Perry, Cam Fowler, goalie Jonas Hiller, along with Coach Bruce Boudreau. Also in the crowd were Teemu Selanne, George Parros, major underwriters Jenny and Bill Klein, Dennis Kuhl, chairman of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and from Orangewood, Cal Winslow as well as Gene Howard representing CASA.
Members of 44 Women for Children spotted in the crowd included Kelly Bozza, Andrea Casaw, Carey Clawson, Ginny David, Ann Diem, Hope Dorsey, Lupe Erwin, Sherri Hudson and Stacey Kinney. Additional 44 Women members working the Ducks evening were Mari Kurtz, Joyce Piercey, Kristen Stephen, Linda Thauer and Karen Whitfield.
THE CROWD runs Thursdays and Saturdays. B.W. Cook is editor of the Bay Window, the official publication of the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach.

And the 2014 winners were:
Raimondo Iemma, Michele Osella and Federico Morando with their paper "Breaking Public Administrations' Data silos: The Case of Open-DAI and a comparison between open data platforms".
This is what the reviewers said about the paper:
"The papers says something which has not been said before. Furthermore, the comparison of open data portals functionality is a very valid actual use case many administrations and companies face today. It's good to see an in-depth comparison so others can decide on quantitative and qualitative figures instead of picking automatically CKAN as the elephant in the room."
"Benchmarking high-end solutions for todays problems was very useful and insightful to read."
"The paper is "esthetically" well written, with good references, and presents a project (still ongoing: pilot services are being developed) for sure relevant: an open source platform designed to expose data as services, directly pulling from legacy databases of the data holder. The comparison with other platforms is well done."
"Open data platforms are a very challenging area – both technically and politically – and this paper provides a good introduction to the main requirements for such platforms and an overview of different implementations"
"I chose this one as it addresses questions often put forward: which approach for OD to use and why."

Strip away the pro-illegal alien rhetoric and name-calling in this piece by NBC Latino contributor Stephen Nuno and you will find an important truth — the immigration reform game is dominated by money, and the pro-amnesty side has nearly all of it.
Nuno points out that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has put together a coalition of like-minded billionaires to sell Schumer-Rubio style immigration reform to Republicans. Michael Bloomberg has been at the forefront of similar efforts. So, according to Nuno, has Rupert Murdoch.
What about the other side in this debate? Nuno aptly describes it as a "cottage industry."
Murdoch's participation prompted a friend of mine to wonder where Fox News stands in all of this. It seemed to us that Marco Rubio has been appearing pretty regularly on Fox News shows to sell his legislation.
And that's fine. Rubio certainly should be heard on Fox, just as he is being heard on conservative Talk Radio.
But has Rubio been asked the kind of tough questions on Fox that he has encountered on Talk Radio? It seemed to us that he has not.
Furthermore, has Fox given roughly equal time to the strong conservative voices that oppose the Schumer-Rubio approach? Again, we didn't think so.
But these are just our impressions. What do Power Line readers think?
The immigration reform debate has died down a little bit in the past week. However, it is sure to heat up again. In the next round, we will try to look more systematically at Fox News' coverage of the debate.

Dr. Joel D. Wallach, BS, DVM, ND
Joel D. Wallach,a biomedical research pioneer, spent decades in the field of Veterinary Medicine observing and researching the effects of individual nutrients on animal health before becoming a Naturopathic Physician in 1982. Today, Dr. Wallach is renowned for his groundbreaking research on the health benefits of selenium and other minerals. He now dedicates his time to lecturing throughout the world on the therapeutic benefits of vitamins and minerals and on advising the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on behalf of the dietary supplement industry.
Dr. Wallach obtained a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Agriculture from the University of Missouri in 1962 with a major in Animal Husbandry (Nutrition) and a minor in Field Crops and Soils. In 1964, he was awarded a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (DVM), also from the University of Missouri. From 1965 to 1968, Dr. Wallach completed a postdoctorate fellowship at The Center for the Biology of Natural Systems at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1982, he obtained a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine (ND) from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon.
Early Work
Dr. Wallach held key positions with leading zoos and universities in the United States and Africa including Director of the Jacksonville Zoological Park in Jacksonville, Florida; Research Veterinarian for the South Africa National Parks Department (where he was a member of the famous "Operation Rhino" team); and Director of Research at the St. Louis Zoological Park in St. Louis, Missouri. At the request of Africa's National Parks and Wildlife Management Department, Dr. Wallach led an expedition to capture and mark elephants in the Wankie Game Preserve in Rhodesia as part of a migration study. He is also one of the founders, and a former editor, of the Journal of Zoo Animal Medicine. He is a prolific author and has published more than 70 scientific papers and thirteen books including the famous textbook "Diseases of Exotic Animals." This book is still used today by leading veterinary schools and is on the Smithsonian Institute's recommended reading list for Zoological Gardens and Aquariums.br>
Groundbreaking research on Trace Minerals
In 1977, Dr. Wallach discovered the world's first known case of non-human cystic fibrosis in a selenium-deficient Rhesus monkey while he was a researcher at the Emory University Yerkes National Primate Center in Atlanta, Georgia. At the time, cystic fibrosis was believed to be the result of a human genetic disorder. Dr. Wallach's monumental discovery set him on a 20-year path of research surrounding the health benefits of selenium and other trace minerals. As a result of this work, he became known as the "Mineral Doctor" and the "Father of Liquid Mineral Supplementation."br>
The founding of Youngevity
In 1997, Dr. Wallach and Ma Lan, MD, MS founded American Longevity, the network marketing company known today as Youngevity. Within five years, the company had a growing and powerful international network of distributors and preferred customers with offices in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. Today, Youngevity is a network-marketing leader providing high-quality, innovative and unique products that benefit health conscious consumers and business owners.
First Amendment Advocate
His tireless efforts and dedication to the public's First Amendment rights to complete information on the therapeutic benefits of nutrition prompted the FDA to establish Qualified Health Claims for Selenium ("may reduce the risk of certain cancers") and Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids ("may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease"). Only a few Qualified Health Claims exist, placing Youngevity in a unique position among dietary supplement and direct marketing companies.
Klaus Schwarz Medalist
In 2011, Dr. Wallach was awarded the Klaus Schwarz Medal for his 1987 discovery of an animal model of cystic fibrosis (CF) in the offspring of a family of inadequately fed rhesus monkeys. The Klaus Schwarz Commemorative Medal honors trace element researchers that have made major discoveries in this field. Dr. Wallach's discovery of this animal model of CF demonstrated that pancreatic lesions histologically identical to those observed in patients with CF can be produced by dietary means, i.e., nutritional imbalances such as selenium deficiency, and that some forms of CF are, in principle, nutritionally preventable.
Honoree – Global Officials of Dignity Awards (G.O.D. Awards)
In 2015, Dr. Wallach was honored at the 3rd annual G.O.D. Awards in recognition for his "Lifetime Achievement of Natural Medicine and Philanthropy." The G.O.D. Awards is an international awards institution that seeks to honor "the greatest humanitarians in the world" from a variety of fields, such as, diplomacy, medicine, business, and entertainment. Honorees of the G.O.D. Awards are individuals who have positively affected human rights, global peace, the environment, education, health and wellness, and poverty. Besides Dr. Wallach, notable honorees from the past five years include: U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (2014); former President of Mexico Vicente Fox (2017); and former Prime Minister of Nepal Khil Raj Regmi (2016).
Dr. Wallach is the author and co-author of more than 70 articles published in peer-reviewed journals covering nutritional and pharmaceutical research. He is also a major contributor to thirteen books including the famous textbook "Diseases of Exotic Animals." This book is still used today by leading veterinary schools and is on the Smithsonian Institute's recommended reading list for Zoological Gardens and Aquariums.

New York, February 12, 2010—The Committee to Protect Journalists today called on the Costa Rican legislature to remove criminal defamation provisions from its penal code after a recent Supreme Court decision eliminated prison terms from its 1902 Printing Press Law.
The provisions were eliminated from the Printing Press Law—known as Ley de Imprenta—which imposed prison sentences of up to 120 days for defamation in print media.
The court made the ruling while it was reviewing a defamation case against José Luis Jiménez Robleto, a reporter with the San José-daily Diario Extra, according to local news reports. Jiménez had been accused by a former Costa Rican official after publishing a news story on alleged embezzlement, the press reported. The journalist was sentenced in March 2004 to 50 days in prison based on the outdated 1902 press law. His conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court.
The court's decision about the press law, issued on December 18, was made public this week. Costa Rican journalists said it was a victory for freedom of the press. The daily La Nación described it as "historic." The paper's editor, Armando González, said that the court set an important precedent.
"We consider the Supreme Court's decision an important step
forward toward what we hope will be the total elimination of criminal
defamation in
Laws that criminalize speech are incompatible with the
rights established under Article 13 of the American Convention on Human Rights,
There is growing international consensus that journalists
should not be jailed for criminal defamation. In November, the Argentine
Congress repealed
criminal defamation provisions in the penal code. In April 2009,

From Viewers Like You...
About two months ago, a viewer of the podcast that Ryan co-hosts on the This Week in Tech network, This Week in Computer Hardware, wrote in with some information that immediately excited the staff here at PC Perspective. Ryan for a long time has been of the opinion that the proliferation of 1080p displays, and prohibitive cost of high resolution monitors has been holding the industry back as a whole. With talk of 4K displays being introduced for consumers this year, a major topic on the podcast in the weeks prior to this viewer email had centered around why we haven't seen affordable 2560x1440 (or 2560x1600) displays.
This brings us back to the knowledge which the listener Jeremy bestowed upon us. Jeremy brought to our attention that various eBay sellers were reselling and exporting generic 27", IPS, LED backlight, 2560x1440 monitors from South Korea. What is remarkable about these displays however is that various models can be found for just around, or even under $350. Everyone listening, including Ryan and his co-host Patrick Norton became immediately interested in these monitors, and I went into research mode.
Continue reading our review of the 27-in Achieva Shimian 2560x1440 monitor!
Just Delivered: Achieva Shimian 27" 2560x1440p Display
Subject: Displays | June 27, 2012 - 06:15 PM | Ken Addison
Tagged: yamakasi, shimian, korean, just delivered, catleap, achieva, 27, 1440p
If you've been paying attention to either the PC Perspective Podcast or This Week in Computer Hardware for the past few weeks, our talk of a new crop of low cost, 2560x1600, 27" monitors rising out of South Korea has been unavoidable.
Well, late last week I decided that it was time I get out of the 1080p era, and into the world of higher resolution displays.
After an impressive shipment time of only 3 days, I recieved a package directly from Seoul this afternoon, and rushed straight to the office to open it and inform PC Perspective readers.
For those of you not in the know, we recieved a tip a few weeks back from a reader about inexpensive 2560x1440 displays popping up on eBay for around $350. Of course this excited the staff at PC Perspective, and we immediately went into research mode, looking for all of the information we could find about these displays. While the initial impressions we saw all over forums were generally positive, we decided to give these displays the real PC Perpsective review treatment.
While the Yamakasi Catleap is the most well known of these monitors, I decided to go with the $315 (Shipped!) Achieva Shiminan, for reasons to be expanded upon later in the full review.
However, before we began our strenuous testing process, I wanted to give the dedicated PC Per readers a sneak peak of such an interesting product. Out of the box, we hooked it up an AMD Radeon 7950 on our GPU testbed, which had no issues at all.
Also, just because the poorly translated eBay listings said it would not work, despite our best inclinations, I plugged this display into my Late 2011 MacBook Air with Intel HD 3000 graphics. Even using the not so reliable Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI adapter, my MacBook detected the display with no issue. While I certainly won't be gaming on this machine, the display has been working flawlessly so far.
I know readers must have a million questions about these displays, so feel free to leave them in the comments of this post, and I will try to address them all in the full review coming soon!

HOUSTON - A woman suspected of stealing merchandise from a Walmart store is fatally shot by a deputy after he was nearly run over, investigators say.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said the incident happened at the Walmart on West Road and the North Freeway at around 9:45 p.m. on Thursday.
According to investigators, the loss prevention team noticed several women taking merchandise off the shelves and stuffing it in to their purses and alerted an off-duty deputy.
The women paid for some smaller items and then tried to leave the store with the merchandise that was not paid for, officials said.
Deputy Louis Campbell, who was working an approved extra job, confronted the women at the door and one of the suspects hit him with her purse before fleeing to their car, deputies said.
Campbell caught up to the car that the women were in and told the woman who hit him to get out of the car, investigators said. She refused to get out of the car and the deputy opened the door, investigators said.
"When the vehicle took off, he was between the door frame and the driver," said Deputy Thomas Gilliland. " He discharged his weapon at that point."
According to investigators, the suspects kept driving and ended up about a mile away at The Worthington Apartment complex in the 1300 block of Greens Parkway, which is about a mile away from the Walmart.
The woman, identified as Shelly Marie Frey, died at apartment complex.
"They had her body out laying in the middle of the ground," witness Kesha Sapp said. "Her kids were like, 'mama, mama.' She had kids in the car, so they shouldn't be shooting in the car."
Detectives said three women and two children were inside the car.
Sapp said she was angry that a deputy would open fire on the women, even if they really did shoplift.
"They should have cameras at Walmart to see what happened," she said.
The other two women in the car have been charged. Detectives said the driver, Tiasa Andrews, 29, has been charged with robbery and aggravated assault of a public servant. Yolanda Craig, 38, has been charged with robbery.
Campbell has been with the Harris County Sheriff's Office for 26 years. He is assigned to the detentions bureau.

USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced that the ranking period cut-off date for the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) is Jan. 13, 2012. Producers interested in CSP should submit applications to their local NRCS office by the deadline so that their applications can be considered during the first ranking period of 2012.
CSP is offered in all 50 states, through continuous sign-ups. The program provides conservation benefits including improvement of water and soil quality, wildlife habitat enhancements and adoption of conservation activities that address the effects of climate change. Eligible lands include cropland, pastureland, rangeland, non-industrial private forest land and agricultural land under the jurisdiction of an Indian tribe.
A CSP self-screening checklist is available to help potential applicants determine if CSP is suitable for their operation. The checklist highlights basic information about CSP eligibility requirements, contract obligations and potential payments. It is available from local NRCS offices and on the CSP website at www.or.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/csp/.
As part of the CSP application process, applicants will work with NRCS field personnel to complete the resource inventory using a Conservation Measurement Tool (CMT). The CMT determines the conservation performance for existing and new conservation activities. The applicant's conservation performance will be used to determine eligibility, ranking and payments.
Additional information on CSP can be found on the NCC's home page, www.cotton.org, by clicking on the Conservation icon. Producers interested in signing up during this ranking period should contact their local NRCS office.

Stemler1932 needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 14 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
Three Knights, Inc.
I have written stories for my three boys for years. they are called the Three Knights and they are all about three boys that fight battles for a king (I am not the King) they also defend a Princess (My wife is the princess). I have a tattoo of Three Knights (Horses) on a chess board and my wife wants a tattoo designed fore her. She wants a Queen (Chess Piece). I am thinking that adding elements of our family Crest "Lewis Family" see attached and possibly made more feminine with a strand of flowers like "Lilly of the Valley". Also, one thought I had was that the queen could be adorned with a smock which has the family crest or something.
Me, my wife and the artist. If you win we will send you a picture of the finished product.
Needs to be easily made into a tattoo not to filled with color so that it is too bold. It should be a happy looking image with some but not too much color. It will most likely start under her arm and extend down her side and top of her lower back.

Capping of its first quarter as an independent public company following its late September spinoff from Tyco International (NYSE:TYC), security systems maker ADT (NYSE:ADT) revealed weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter sales on Tuesday but forecast higher revenue next year.
Looking toward fiscal 2013, the largest U.S. maker of electronic security and monitoring systems sees recurring revenue growth of 4.9% to 5.2%.
Continue Reading Below
Revenue for the three-month period ended Sept. 28 climbed 2.3% to $812 million from $794 million a year ago, missing the Street's $818.2 million.
Recurring revenue, which comprised more than 90% of total revenue during the quarter, was up 5.2%, driven by higher spending per customer as ADT raised prices.
ADT also added 284,000 new customers, closing the period with 6.4 million accounts, up 1.1% from a year ago. Shares of ADT climbed more than 4% to a 52-week high of $45 Tuesday morning.
"We delivered solid recurring revenue growth fueled by the continued success of Pulse in the residential and small business security markets," ADT chief executive Naren Gursahaney said in a statement.
The Boca Raton, Fla.-based security company reported net income of $94 million, or 40 cents a share, compared with $93 million, or 39 cents.
Excluding one-time items, ADT earned 43 cents, matching average analyst estimates in a Thomson Reuters poll.
Tyco completed its spinoff of ADT in September and the two began trading as individual companies on Oct. 1. The move was expected to give ADT the ability to expand its portfolio of residential fire and burglar alarms to include remotely activated home management services, while allowing Tyco to focus on its remaining core brands.
"We are excited about the opportunities ahead of us to build on our leadership position and drive ongoing profitable growth," Gursahaney said.
The company's board has approved a $2 billion share repurchase program expiring in three years. It also declared a quarterly dividend of 12.5 cents, payable Dec. 18 to shareholders of record on Dec. 10.

Prices jump 7.3% for back-to-school supplies
Nearly every basic item on Huntington National Bank's annual Backpack Index has risen in cost since last year.
CINCINNATI -- Parents, you aren't imagining it. School supplies are more expensive this year.
Huntington National Bank's annual Backpack Index shows school supply prices jumped an average of 7.3% this year, far outpacing inflation at 1.8%.
Almost every basic item has risen in cost since last year, some by up to $10, according to the analysis.
"We're not sure what's driving (the increases). Maybe plastic is more expensive," said Mark Reitzes, president of the Southern Ohio/Kentucky region for Huntington.
The findings come as back-to-school shopping kicks into high gear.
"I'm kind of dreading it," said Lawren Nunn of Westwood. She has three daughters in the Cincinnati Public Schools district, grades 5, 8 and 9. "It's almost August, and I haven't really seen a really good sale."
Parents will pay $10 more for a graphing calculator, $4 more for Post-it notes or scissors and nearly $7 more for a three-hole punch. The analysis compared a cross-section of online retailers.
Compared side-by-side with the same school supplies last year, parents would spend:
• $577 for elementary school students, a 5.3% increase from 2012.
• $763 for middle school students, a 5.3% increase from 2012.
• $1,223 for high school students, up 9.5% from 2012.
Parents look for sales
As the cost of back-to-school supplies rises, many parents are trying to be thrifty.
Those numbers include test fees and extracurricular spending, though those costs have remained relatively flat from 2012.
But the costs for basic supplies were up about $40 to $50 per grade category: $161.27 for elementary school (a 33% increase, from $120.87), $198 for middle school (a 32% increase) and $893 for high school (a 5% increase).
After a record-breaking 2012, the National Retail Federation estimates families will spend an average $634.78 on back-to-school shopping this year, down almost 8% from $688.62 last year. Total spending is expected to be $26.7 billion.
The retail group expects parents will spend the most on clothes and shoes, and fewer families will buy electronics than last year. Those who do buy a new tablet or smartphone for their child will spend less.
Economics experts are skeptical. It all depends where you shop, they say.
"I got a pack of pens for 14 cents at Kroger last night," said Janet Harrah, senior director for economic analysis at Northern Kentucky University. Huntington's index lists a pack of 12 pens at $6.49.
An online search by The Cincinnati Enquirer found various prices at different stores. The Enquirer found a four-pack of dry erase markers for $2.50 at Wal-Mart and $5.99 – the price listed in the Huntington Index – at Staples and Office Depot.
The graphing calculator, listed by Huntington as $119, was on sale for $99 at Staples and regularly priced at $97 at Wal-Mart. It was listed at $119 and higher at some stores.
Experts also noted the prices may vary according to brand. Some stores may be carrying a more expensive brand than last year's.
Teachers look for help
Mariemont parent Robyn Robinson expects to spend less this year, but only because her son's list is shorter.
"Since he's going into sixth grade, his list is cut in half," she said.
Although her school has a program in which parents can pay $40 to forgo shopping and have the school provide the basics, Robinson prefers to do it herself, even though she usually spends more than that.
"He'll find fun erasers, that sort of thing and we'll get it. It's a fun thing to do, just you and him," she said.
Nunn, the Westwood mom, said she used to get excited about back-to-school shopping, but that's faded. She's trying to reuse what she can this year but still expects to spend more than she did last year.
A survey by the online coupon website RetailMeNot found that nearly nine in 10 teachers use their own money to pay for classroom supplies for students. Half said their school doesn't provide them with the classroom supplies they need.
Teachers spent an average of $347 of their own money in the 2012-13 school year to buy school supplies and instructional materials for their class, according to a survey by the National School Supply and Equipment Association. That's up from $314 in 2009-10.
Crayons to Computers, a local free store for teachers, says it's seen a rise in customers. About 80 to 100 teachers began shopping there for the first time last school year, said President and CEO Susan Frankel. Daily sales increased 6 percent. "That's significant," she said.
The increase, she said, is likely because the number of low-income families is rising.
"If families are deciding between food and school supplies, they'll buy food," she said.
Schools ask for contributions
Some schools are asking parents to contribute to classroom supply lists.
"I'm getting a lot of customers saying they're buying for a school or teacher or family member or friend," said Scott Rakel, shift manager of the Fairfield Township Wal-Mart.
"There's been a lot more charitable donations."

Solunar theory states that fish are more active- and therefore are more willing to feed - at specific times during the day (e.g. around when the Moon is either Up or Down and when it either Rises or Sets).
The effects of these events change with the position of the Moon with respect to Earth and are also amplified when they are closer to dawn to dask (i.e. when the Sun Rises or Sets).
In fact, when the Moon is up during nigh time its influence on fish is due to the sunlight which reflects off the Moon's surg (Moonlight) which, caveat weather conditions, is bigger when the moon is within the first and third quarter and maximum when is full.
While there is consensus on the combined effects of Moon and Sun (i.e. Solunar theory) on fishing, opinions on moonlight's effects differ. Certain nocturnal fish, like the eel for instance, may be deterred from moonlight, because it may be easier for predators to spot them. Other diurnal species instead may confuse moonlight for sunlight, therefore being more active in these conditions.
The appearance of the Moon in the sky changes over time depending on its position respect to Earth and Sun.
When the Moon's position is between the Earth and Sun (i.e. the three celestial objects are roughly aligned) the portion of the Moon that is illuminated by the Sun is exactly on the back side of the moon (that we cannot see from Earth). That is when we have a New Moon.
Conversely, when the Earth is in between the Moon and the Sun, all the visible section of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun (e.g. Moon's shadowed portion is entirely hidden from our view). That is when we have a Full Moon.
Similarly, the First Quarter and the Third Quarter moons happen when the Moon is at about ninety (90) degrees with respect to a line passing between Earth and Sun. In this conditions only half of the Moon will be illuminated by Sunlight.
Between New and Full Moon the sunlit portion of the Moon is always increasing, also known as Waxing period. While between Full and New Moon the sunlit portion is decreasing, and that period is known as Waning. In addition, the phase when less than half of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun is called Crescent, while that when more than half of the Moon is illuminated is defined as Gibbous.

POSTED: Feb 10, 2013 7:55 PM ET
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Magic rookie forward Andrew Nicholson has been chosen as a replacement for the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge game at the All-Star weekend in Houston.
Nicholson replaces Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond, who can't play because of a back injury.
Nicholson has appeared in 48 games this season for Orlando and made his 14th start against Portland on Sunday night. The 19th overall pick in last year's draft entered the game averaging 7.6 points and 3.5 rebounds.
His scoring average is 10th among rookies this season.
Nicholson, who will play for Shaquille O'Neal's "Team Shaq", joins Orlando teammate and second-year center Nikola Vucevic, who was previously selected for the game. Vucevic will be playing on Charles Barkley's "Team Chuck".

Power beaming is a critical for space-based solar power. It also would be nice if our laptops and cell phones didn't need to be plugged in, becoming truly wireless.
Intel recently brought the concept closer to reality with a live demo illuminating a 60 watt bulb on stage at an annual meeting in San Francisco of the company's developers. Their goal is simple, free computers and other devices from power cords.

Texas judge in video beating has suspension lifted
AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas Supreme Court has lifted the suspension of a judge shown in a video beating his teenage daughter.
The state high court made the decision Tuesday in regards to the suspension of Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams. The justices had suspended Adams with pay in November 2011 while the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct investigated. The commission issued a public warning to Adams on Sept. 6.
Adams' older daughter, Hillary Adams, uploaded the 2004 video to YouTube just over a year ago. The video shows William Adams repeatedly whipping his then-16-year-old daughter with a belt for illegally downloading music.
The Aransas County district attorney said then that too much time had passed to bring criminal charges against the judge. Adams doesn't come up for re-election until 2014.

Modified Mustangs & FordsNews & Views
The Video Age Is Upon Us - Tuned Up
Thanks to the rapidly evolving technology, just about everyone can shoot a personal video of some sort.
My wife and I share a growing interest in our ancestry, and knowing that all we have from our childhood are a few old photos, we can't help but produce both photography and video of our family. I can tell you that a photo of my daughter's first steps isn't nearly as thought provoking as watching the video; luckily, I have both. Even at six years old, she has grown and changed so much that it's easy to forget what she was like as a toddler, and videos allow us to revisit those times at the click of the computer's mouse.
From an automotive standpoint, I have owned 36 vehicles and only have video of maybe three of the most recent ones. Some I don't even have pictures of. My father used to regale me with tales of his Tri-Power GTO, LS6 Chevelles, and numerous drag cars, but he only has a handful of faded pictures to remember them by. I plan to do better.
In 2006, Google purchased YouTube for a measly $1.65 billion. Yes, that was billion with a "B." There are hundreds of thousands of videos on YouTube, not to mention other sites that aggregate YouTube videos on their own pages, and there are millions of people watching them every day. They are a great way to see cars alive and in motion.
You can listen to exhaust notes, lopey cam profiles, and more. If you're looking to buy a car that's not in driving distance, sellers can perform walk-around videos to give you an idea of what the car looks like rather than sending you dozens of images that clog up your email inbox. If you are selling a car, you can shoot your own video, upload it, and then direct potential buyers to it.
Photo GalleryView Photo Gallery
Your car videos can also serve as tuning tools for both car and driver. You can mount cameras underneath the car to see how a suspension is working, how a tire is contacting the pavement and whether or not it's sticking or spinning. From inside the car, you can pick up what the driver is doing and sometimes capture other elements you may not have noticed during your time behind the wheel. Things like missed shift points, your hand moving the steering wheel during gear changes, how you approached a corner or apex, and more. Passing a competitor right at the finish and posting your win online is always an excellent way to start a bench racing session as well.
More video education can be had in how-to videos that people record and post online. I've found that aspect incredibly useful, even for something as simple as how to take apart a door panel. It just might save you from breaking that dealer-only door clip or bezel.
Our cover article on the latest digital action cams is quite a departure from our normal tech features, but the subject is becoming increasingly popular as people learn how to use the cameras, how to edit the videos, and how they can enjoy watching them on their big high-definition TVs. Action cams lend themselves better to action videography, but you can use them for just about anything, and they're really simple to use for the most part. You'll spend more time changing their locations, once you've made one or two videos, than you will turning it on and pressing the record button. And you never know what you might capture on video, as MM&F tech editor, Mark Houlahan, found out during one of his video testdrives—you can check that out, as well as the rest of his video coverage accompanying the video story on our website at www.mustangandfords.com

3 tips to get the kids to STAY at the kiddie table

Getting the kids to stay seated at the kids' table is one of the most challenging tasks of any parent during holiday festivities.
Whether you're a parent or simply a host to guests with children, these 3 kiddie table ideas will help you keep those tiny bums in their seats!
1. Available in playful and grown-up prints, these placemats from Modern-Twist are "the bee's knees." Nurturing the inner artist in every child, the mats are doodle-friendly with the use of washable or dry erase markers.
2. Make the kids feel like important guests. Use these adorable picture frames from DwellStudio as place cards.
3. Use craft paper instead of a table cloth and let the kids go wild with the new DwellStudio Stamp Sets. Available sets in Baby Farm, Baby Zoo and Baby City.

Yes, Jaegermonkey might not be as fast as v8, but things like the audio data API, -moz-calc(), -moz-any(), support for ES5 Harmony, etc. are, in my opinion at least, more important. :)

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

I really need to check the copyright holders before I use these tracks. Sony and UMG are fine (they only block in germany and japan) but EMI are useless cocksuckers who really don't deserve the free advertising I give them.
Sounds like you got yourself a honest to god phobia there. Dunno how to fix that.

"Nunsense" is a fun-filled romp, combined with music, and performed by the Sun City Community Theatre. It features five surviving nuns of The Little Sisters of Hoboken who are holding a benefit to help bury the 57 nuns who died from very bad vichyssoise. Sister Mary Amnesia, played by Nancy Laws, can't remember who she is ever since a crucifix fell on her head. She leads the audience in a hilarious question and answer session (please pay attention). Sister Mary Regina is the Mother Superior and is played by Mae McMichael. Can you believe she used to be in a circus? Sister Hubert, the Mistress of the Novices, is played by Gwyneth Saunders. Unfortunately she only has one novice now, Sister Mary Leo played by Joanne Murray, who really wanted to be a ballerina. Sister Robert Anne, the convents' chauffeur, is played by Nancy Austin.
Carol Wroblewski, the director of the play, assembled a cast which sings and dances its way through their way through the production. You just can't miss this show, even if you are not Catholic. Don't wait too long to purchase your tickets as this show will definitely be sold out. The production runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 27-29, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 30, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $23 and the public is invited and may call 645-2700 weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to reserve your tickets.
What: Nunsense
Where: Sun City's Magnolia Hall
When: 7:30 p.m. June 27-29, 2 p.m. June 30

The library invites faculty members, Instructional Academic Staff, and all library users to recommend materials for the library collection. Please forward all requests to your campus librarian.
We adhere to the principles expressed in the Collection Development Policy of the UW Colleges. Our top priority is to provide materials that directly support the freshman/sophomore instructional program. All formats are welcome.
A collection that supports teaching and learning must be regularly reviewed for its currency, relevancy, and quality. Faculty expertise is a valuable resource when the library considers materials for deselection, or weeding. Please contact Anthony Sigismondi if you notice dated, outmoded, or discredited materials or materials in poor condition in your field of specialty.
