February 26, 2015 Securing the Cyber Frontier
By H. Baloch
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home, or correspondence."
We live in a world which has become a manifestation of the era depicted in George Orwell's cult novel 1984. Governments have become exponentially powerful because of their ability to monitor and analyze enormous amounts of data, readily available, on their targets; social media, the Internet, cellular networks, surveillance cameras/CCTV, ATMs and smart IDs augment, manifold, the ability of the state's already omnipresent intelligence agencies.
Every website we visit, every email and instant message we send, every comment posted on social media, every time we make a phone call, whenever we withdraw money from a cash dispenser, or when we cross by a CCTV, we are giving away intelligence. This will soon be the case, in a few months' time at most, when we pass through toll plazas or enter public buildings.
Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple, Skype, Yahoo, AOL, Paltalk and Cisco, to name a few, are in agreement with the United States government to furnish the USG with communication logs it deems relevant for security analysis purposes. Facebook is public about accommodating government requests; it releases an annual report called the Global Governments Request Report which can be found on the Facebook site. First published in the first half of 2013, the report gives the number of disclosure requests it receives from governments and the percentage of requests that were positively responded by Facebook. According to Facebook it only divulges details in accordance with the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Pakistan is extensively amending its cyberspace and security laws and policies to bring in scope any information thought of as valuable by its intelligence apparatus.
Further, social media profiles of users are data dumps, some social networking sites come with powerful embedded tools like Facebook's graph search which allows any Facebook user to search specific details about other users. The timeline feature on Facebook and Twitter are both data archives and can be used for intelligence gathering purposes regarding target users. The state or citizen vigilantes can carry out surveillance, stalking, trolling and Internet bullying through the use of fake social media accounts; Pakistani intelligence agencies and army sympathizers are actively monitoring and trying to counter Baloch liberation activists through the use of fake accounts, groups and pages. Other tools available for mining these massive online databases are free applications or apps available for a small subscription fee.
Research in Motion/RIM's Blackberry smart phones, devices that are known for their impregnable security, according to the Snowden archives were hacked by the US National Security Agency (NSA) in 2009.
Post Mumbai 2008 terrorist attacks, the Indian government asked RIM to provide access to Blackberry messenger and Internet services for surveillance purposes. By 2012 Blackberry agreed to the Indian government's demand following rival Nokia's compliance with the Indian authorities. RIM is a smart phone manufacturer that prioritizes security.
Smart phones can also be compromised through the applications installed on them. Third parties can acquire access to sensitive data through installed applications and so can hackers access the phone's contents through mobile apps.
Further, it does not take an expert to extract sensitive information from a smart phone in case the phone is under physical possession of an unwanted person; smart phones automatically synchronize all contact details available on emails and instant messaging services with those on the phone directory.
Every time we withdraw money from an ATM or use a debit or credit card for making payments or when we participate in online transactions through our bank accounts we are giving away information about our interests, spending behaviors, location and contacts which can be used for finding out connections and even used as data for building correlations.
This is not the full extent of how financial institutes monitor their customers; the surveillance goes further. With an increasingly conflict ridden world the international community has further tightened transaction surveillance regulations to ensure that financial sanctions are enforced. To choke terrorist finances, armies of compliance officers monitor customer details and behavior from the minute a customer submits an account opening application with a bank. Any suspicious activity is disclosed to the government.
The new Pakistani Smart National Identity Card (SNIC), a product of NADRA, comes with an embedded chip which not only stores the card bearer's details but can also used as a radio frequency identity (RFID) for the card bearer. The state is already working on installing RFID readers at toll plazas to keep track of people entering and leaving a certain area within a city or town or an entire province. The SNIC bearer will not even have to be in close proximity with the reader to register her or his presence, the smart chips are activated through induction; provided the transmitters are powerful enough a card bearer can be detected from greater distances, satellites, aerial reconnaissance.
Cellular communications services providers are the weakest link in the chain, with access to crucially sensitive data. Cellular companies can triangulate a user's precise location, track her or his conversations and monitor text messages. The degree of access they provide to the government makes cellular networks riskier as Pakistani intelligence agencies have access to all cellular networks in the country. In the wake of the Peshawar Army Public School massacre, December 2014, the Pakistani authorities increased the powers of law enforcement agencies by concentrating further on cellular and Internet communications. Recently a text message from the authorities was broadcast in Balochistan warning users that all cellular conversations were under surveillance.
Timely and accurate information are game changers, the state's ability to have access to timely information enables it to have a Godlike view of its enemies. Activists must neutralize this advantage by adapting accordingly. Formal technology and cyberspace security teams need to be established with the aim of developing security policies and scrutinizing the security robustness of gadgets and applications. The teams should develop risk mitigation frameworks that should ensure the containment of the threats posed by compromised devices and publish directories of fake accounts. Further, activists must be able to capitalize on this powerful data warehouse available to and for public consumption.

Episode Summary
You're going to find freedom. Freedom from the angst, the hurt, the bitterness and the pain you feel when you hold a grudge against someone else for something, even if it's legitimate, that they have done to you in the past. This episode will speak to a lot of people, some of whom don't want to hear this. Maybe that's you.
I'm covering the five crucial steps you need to take if you want to overcome your grudges and finally have peace in your heart.
This is from the series: 30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself. You can listen to all of the previous items and make sure you keep up to date through that link.
Sponsor – The Law of Attraction is Being Misrepresented
If you know there is more to how this Universe works than a "Law of Attraction" which promises your every whim on a simple wish, then you're going to love this upcoming webinar being hosted by Bob Proctor who you may recognize from the movie The Secret. It's free and it's happening on Tuesday October 28th at 8pm (Pacific Time).
Register for this worldwide event right now so you don't miss out: RESERVE YOUR SPOT
I'll be attending just like you and I'm looking forward to hear what Bob Proctor has to share. As you know, I've been saying for quite some time that The Secret only teases what's behind the Law of Attraction. In fact, I've been tempted to do this sort of class myself, in an effort to help redeem this idea of the Law of Attraction.

A lot of games have gone down to the wire when it comes to bug fixing in their game, so it's good to know that the team is comfortable with their finished product just under a month before it hits shelves. Of course, I'm sure there's a chance we will still see bug fixing as multiplayer rolls out to the public, but that's to be expected anymore. I can't wait to play this game!

It was the essential calm after the storm. Caring for the dairy and working the butter into firm, sweet, tempting yellow rolls were the only tasks that troubled her
a little, but Holcroft assured her that she was learning these important duties faster than he had expected her to. She had several hours a day in which to ply her
needle, and thus was soon enabled to replenish her scanty wardrobe.
One morning at breakfast she appeared in another gown, and although its material was calico, she had the appearance to Holcroft of being unusually well dressed. He
looked pleased, but made no comment. When the cherry blossoms were fully out, an old cracked flower vase--the only one in the house--was filled with them, and they
were placed in the center of the dinner table. He looked at them and her, then smilingly remarked, "I shouldn't wonder if you enjoyed those cherry blows more than
anything else we have for dinner."
"I want something else, though. My appetite almost frightens me."
"That's famous! I needn't be ashamed of mine, then."
One evening, before the week was over, he saw her busy with a rake about the door. Last year's leaves were still scattered about, with twigs and even small boughs
wrested by the winds from the trees. He was provoked with himself that he had neglected the usual spring clearing away of litter, and a little irritated that she
should have tried to do the work herself. He left the horses at the barn and came forward directly. "Alida," he said gravely, "there's no need of your doing such
work; I don't like to see you do it."
"Why," she replied, "I've heard that women in the country often milk and take care of the chickens."
"Yes, but that's very . I wouldn't like people to think I expected such things of you."
"It's very easy work," she said smilingly, "easier than sweeping a room, though something like it. I used to do it at home when I was a girl. I think it does me
good to do something in the open air."
She was persisting, but not in a way that chafed him. Indeed, as he looked into her appealing eyes and face flushed with exercise, he felt that it would be churlish
to say another word.
"Well," he said, laughing, "it makes you look so young and rosy I guess it does you good. I suppose you'll have to have your own way."
"You know I wouldn't do this or anything else if you really didn't want me to."

Sell crazy someplace else...
Not a good day today.
Been getting bad news on many fronts.
Drudge having an ominous warning and a lot of other things, and quite frankly, I'm tired of the PTB not having a clue - or rather, having a clue and that's why they do what they do - like sending jobs over seas. People think it's just the low paying, manufacturing jobs like assembly and building cheap toys and electronics, but it's more than that. It's software dev jobs, and engineering jobs of all sorts, simply because the overseas people will do the work for less money.
Well, I've worked on projects where the project had to be pulled from the overseas developers, and frankly, if it was up to me, I would have flushed the code down the toilet and started all over again - it would have been cheaper. The client winds up paying more than twice for the crappy job the offshore company did (pardon my language).
Don't get me wrong. I've worked with a number of "offshore" people that came here, learned the trade and honed their skills, and I would say that more than half were great people. Talented people, with good skills. But when you can hire someone for 1.35/hr (maybe it's more, but it sure isn't what a fair days pay in this country is) - you get pretty much code worth 1.35 - or whatever you pay for it.
So what's set Java off today? well, I've been waiting to hear on a job for almost a month. Come to find out that the client went with an "offshore" company. Cost was the driving factor. And sadly, they will get what they paid for, and they will come back to the company that wanted to hire me and want them to fix it. But it will take them 12-18 months to get to that point. Meanwhile, US treasure will have been shipped overseas. US talent will go to waste, and the unemployed that are no longer counted, that aren't on the UC roles, will increase.
My suspicion is that the month delay was so that the other company could get it's bid in and "substantially" underbid the company I was going to work for.
This is becoming worse than the dot com bubble in 2002, I think. Apparently we didn't learn then, because here we are 12 years later, doing the same stupid stuff all over again. But "we're in an economic recovery!" ... yeah, sure.
Sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here.

A full name of the Church is the Church and monastery of St.Francis of Assisi (Bernardine). The building is monumental. In case of need it could have been used not only for prayer but also for defence. This is testified to by 19 aleois in the northern façade. Gothic pointed-arch windows and buttresses stand out on the façade; the 17th-century renaissance pediment is adjusted to the Gothic part with a 19th-century fresco. In the times of the Soviet occupation the Church was closed down and converted into a warehouse. After Lithuania re-established its independence, the Franciscan monks came back to the Church from the underground. The Bernardine complex has been declared to be a monument of Lithuanian cultural heritage, and in 2008 it was granted the status of a cultural project of importance to the state.
2008 Vilnius Bernardine historical – architectural ensemble was reconstructed (lofts of the church, choir and administrative premises of the cloister, the gate of the church, the passage, the basement and the inner courtyard were renovated), tourist observation paths were made.
Tourists are offered two routes – the long and the short ones. The short route starts in the church and leads to the Chapel of St Florian (The Three Kings), along the corridor of the cloister, which is decorated with the newly uncovered frescos, one gets into the gothic courtyard, then the route runs to the presbytery – the monks' choir, the underground crypt, the gothic bell tower. And back to the church.
The long route continues the short one – from the gothic bell tower, along the spiral staircase you climb to the loft of the church from where a spectacular panorama of Vilnius opens. Then the route passes through the balcony of the church and leads back to the church.
Well-ordered heritage of Vilnius Bernardine historical-architectural ensemble, the entire complex of the tourist route and the Lithuanian museum of sacral art created will provide local and foreign tourists with the opportunity to become acquainted with the heritage of sacral art and gothic architecture in Lithuania.
Excursions are organised in the Lithuanian, English and Russian languages for groups consisting of at least eight persons, Tuesdays – Saturdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m, along the established route at the time agreed upon in advance.
Groups are registered on Tuesdays – Saturdays from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. by Email email@example.com or by tel. +370 682 40216. Registration should be made at least two days in advance. Excursions are not organised on Sundays, Mondays and during church services. Admission: donation to the monastery.

Grinding filters are extensively used in various industries. They help the contractor in maintaining uniformity throughout the project. They can also level out all high spots on any surface. Therefore, microfiltration is the key to significantly increase the life of grinding machines and have them remain in the system for many years.
At Barnes International Inc, we provide cutting and grinding fluid filtration systems for machine tool cutting applications. We are composed of highly skilled professionals that are extremely dedicated to producing excellent results. We believe that filtered coolants help increase the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of the manufactured products.
Diligent fluid care will decrease the otherwise necessary disposal costs of contaminated fluids. Only continuous filtration and maintenance can significantly extend the life of the coolant. We hope that our products and our commitment to service will earn your company loyalty for the ongoing future.

Swiss Summer Powder Stash
JUNGFRAUJOCH, SWITZERLAND, July 2000--The conditions couldn't have been better. Two weeks before arriving in the central Swiss Alps enough snow covered the Alps to close down several of the country's mountain roads. When the skies cleared on the day I ventured into the land of the Jungfrau I knew fresh snow awaited high above the river rafters and ice cream cones in the lower altitudes of Switzerland's summer.
After taking three trains and passing several charming Swiss villages I reached the summit and the highest train station in Europe. Not long after arriving I was renting boots too big and skis too short, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that I was making refreshing turns in July.

Earth Day with intermediate students can be so much fun! They are passionate, aware, and ready to do whatever they can to protect our Earth. These activities and ideas will help you integrate Earth Day throughout your week. (Note: This post contains affiliate links. This means I receive a small commission at no cost to you if you make a purchase through these links.)
While the weather may not always cooperate, I love getting outside with my students when we're celebrating Earth Day. Here are a couple of tried and true favorite ideas.
1. Playground Pick-Up
This would be a great tradition to start with your grade level. I don't know about your school, but our playground is often littered with snack wrappers, juice boxes, and other random pieces of garbage. One year, my students came up with the idea to clean up the playground for Earth Day. My team asked parents for donations of disposable gloves, or we just bought them ourselves since they're fairly inexpensive. We gave groups of four to five students a garbage bag to share, and let them go to town on the playground! Our custodial crew was very appreciative, and the playground looked great!
You could also have students make signs for the playground after the big clean-up to remind other students to take care of their school environment. Another idea would be to sort the trash into recyclables and waste!
You could also have students make signs for the playground after the big clean-up to remind other students to take care of their school environment. Another idea would be to sort the trash into recyclables and waste!
2. Minute to Win It {Earth Day Edition}
I LOVE playing Minute to Win It games with my big kids. They let their too-cool-for-school attitudes fall away and enjoy being KIDS for a little while. Last year, we used several of these ideas from Musings of an Average Mom to spark some fun at recess. It worked out perfectly as a HUGE rainstorm forced us inside for the day!
Some of our favorites were:
- Pop It To the Sky (make sure to ask for CLEAN and empty soda cans)
- Newspaper Airplane
- Pyramid Stack (we used recyclable Solo cups!)
I love to weave holidays and special events throughout our curriculum whenever I can. I know, it's nerdy, but if it makes math or test prep or language arts a little more fun for the day then count me in!
Michael Recycle + Writer's Workshop
I love using any of the Michael Recycle books during Earth Day. One of my favorites is Michael Recycle Meets Litterbug Doug.
Litterbug Doug is lazy, messy, and gross. He hates to recycle! His neighbors are suffering from the stench of his trash piles. Even the army of rats that accompany him are growing weary of His Grossness. Michael Recycle to save the day!
We follow this up with a writer's workshop on Hero stories. Students design their own environmental hero and develop a story in which they are needed to save the day! We use DC Kids' Super Hero Me to design our heroes and go from there!
Make Connections Across Content AreasLast year, I found Here Comes the Garbage Barge and had a burst of creativity. We made it our mentor text for the week and had a blast learning all about what happens to our garbage once it leaves our homes. One of the reasons I really love this book is that it's a part of Storyline Online's library! So if I don't feel like rereading the book, or if more than one student needs to use the text we have an easy way to get around that!
We ended up with so many activities that I put them together in a unit that's perfect for Earth Day, or any time of year that you're studying pollution and conservation! I'm even sharing my favorite lesson and a close reading passage with you!
I was working on the close reading activity from my unit with some fourth-grade friends, and had an "A-HA!" moment in the middle of our work. They were having trouble understanding all of the steps involved in transporting garbage to its final destination. Then I remembered the final scenes from Toy Story 3.
I started pulling up individual clips, starting with the moment the toys fall into the dumpster. We broke it up into segments and suddenly everything in our close reading passage clicked into place! In hindsight, I wish I'd watched the clips and built their background knowledge first. That's the way I ended up writing the lesson, but if you're in a time crunch it could work to do it as you read.
If you're super curious now, make sure you sign up for your FREE copy of the close reading passage and introductory lesson.
I'm challenging you to work at least one of these ideas into your plans for Earth Day. Bring in a little more than a crossword puzzle or word search. Your students will love the memories they'll make with you, and you'll have fun too!

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go/
With my final count of passports under my belt and the last email sent to parents, all that is left to do is wait until my alarm rings at 3:00 am tomorrow morning to get this show on the road!
In less than 24 hours, I will be leading a team of incredible students and adults on a mission trip to Guatemala. This week we will be doing some construction projects, vacation bible school, and teaching english during the days and partnering with our host church in the evenings for all sorts of ministry, food, fun, and our annual soccer game. (They usually smoke us!)
It has been a long time since I have been this excited for a mission trip. For many reasons this has been one of the hardest trips to prepare for. The logistics were off the charts, the financial cost was quite high, and some of the personalities quite strong. Because of these factors I found it quite difficult to get my head and heart around this trip. I spent the last month having crazy dreams, and anxiety induced sessions at local buffets.
Truth be told, I was a little concerned that I was simply going to spend the trip spinning out of control about things I am trying to control, but know I can't. I lowered my expectations to the absolute bottom as I simply wanted to return with every student I brought. (This is still one of my expectations by the way)
As I reflected on this, I had the awful feeling that maybe I am rounding the corner into the final stretch of my student ministry career. I mean why would I lead a trip of this sort to simply countdown the time for it to be over? And then this realization got to be one more thing to freak out about. But what I have found, is that as we continue to walk with Jesus we never stay in the place we find ourselves right now in this moment! This truth became a reality for me!
By continually wrestling with Jesus, I have died to my anxiety (most of it) and am anticipating God to move in huge ways in and through our group!
I am so thankful to God and his faithfulness and graciousness towards me. The preparation for this trip has again proven all the more how much I am in need of God in every area of my life! Because of God's grace and because of the incredible people who have partnered with me, specifically Amanda, my right arm in ministry, we are ready to go!
But even more than being logistically prepared to go, I am finally spiritually prepared to go. My fear of having such low expectations for this trip has been exchanged for incredibly high expectations for God to show up in huge and awesome ways! I am counting on Him rocking our worlds, blowing our minds, and grabbing a hold of our hearts. I have a renewed passion for my students and for my call as a youth worker.
When we just get from point A to point B we only get to point B. No matter what, in a week this trip will be over and we will be home and accomplished our building projects, vbs, and english classes. But I am convinced that the real ministry that we are to do and the real work that God wants to do in our lives in not at point B, but is all along the journey to point B.
Today, I am looking forward to being present, to keep an open mind and heart, so see what God is up to in the individual lives of our students and my friends in Guatemala. I am looking forward to being sensitive to the subtle movements of God in all the individual moments that will make up this trip!
Please pray that I will practice the ministry of presence this week. I am convinced that getting to point B is not the purpose of this trip. It is the unknown ministry that will happen on the way there that is going to rock our wolds! Pray I don't steam roll those moments in my knee-jerk effort to simply get to the end!
Time to pack!

Our Story
Bulmers is Irish through and through. Made from 17 varieties of Irish apples and produced in Clonmel, Co Tipperary, Ireland's leading cider has all the traits and personality of an iconic brand. While it will never lose its inherent Irishness, the brand has been given a radical make-over. From how our product is crafted to personality, Bulmers is 100% Irish Cider.
Our Campaign
Using statistics to make sharp observations about life in Ireland, our new advertising campaign takes a humorous look at people's thoughts on a wide variety of cultural and societal subjects. From a DJ who only understands what 8% of the buttons on his decks actually do, to a guy in a suit dancing who is 91% sure he's at the wrong party. Regardless of the stats, one thing that always remains the same is Bulmers – 100% Irish Cider.
Our New Look
Our new copper-toned packaging has been inspired by the warm tones of the liquid colour of the cider, the russet skin of a ripe apple and even the beautifully-crafted industrial equipment used in the cider-making process. The new brand identity still features the cider vats, which are synonymous with the Bulmers brand but this time round, the vats have a more contemporary, edgier feel and are manifested in the linear design of the artwork. The effect is a modern and clean look and a radical change of direction for the Bulmers brand.

Amid tight polls, Dems hope to pull off Texas shocker, reclaim gov.'s office after 16 yearsBy Jay Root, AP

Democrats eye Texas gov.'s office amid tight polls
TYLER, Texas — People tell Bill White he picked the wrong election to stage a rescue of the troubled Texas Democratic Party. It's a Republican year in a Republican state.
But the former Houston mayor with the bald head and oversized ears, a lawyerly man who speaks so slowly and deliberately that reporters hardly need tape recorders, has not yet faded into the familiar doom Democrats have come to expect from their gubernatorial candidates every four years.
A Democratic shocker in conservative Texas remains about as likely as a blizzard in Houston. Still, a series of recent polls shows a stubbornly tight race, in the single digits, leaving White within striking distance of longtime Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who is seeking re-election to an unprecedented third term in November. A decent showing by Libertarian Kathie Glass, courting many of the same tea party conservatives Perry has charmed, could also help White if she draws enough votes away from the governor.
"White has made some inroads in what is a very bad national environment for Democrats," said University of Texas pollster and political scientist Jim Henson. "But it's a very hard slog for him."
Texas hasn't had a Democratic governor since George W. Bush defeated Ann Richards in 1994, and it's been just as long since any Democrat won statewide office. But Democrats insist Perry is vulnerable. The same anti-incumbent fervor that threatens to upend the Democratic-controlled Congress is turning voters against Perry, they say.
The Democratic Governor's Association considers Texas among its "top tier" races and has showered more resources on White than any Texas Democratic candidate in the group's history, giving him more than $2 million so far, officials say.
Some political observers are "shocked" that the second-longest serving governor in the United States has a fight on his hands, said Nathan Daschle, director of the association. "But it makes sense when you think about it through the lens of a change election, why voters would start to look for an alternative," he said.
And White sees himself as the perfectly bland alternative to a smooth-talking opponent sometimes known as "Gov. Goodhair." He likes to describe the race as the "workhorse vs. the showhorse." Stylistically, there's no question that White's droning voice and plain appearance offer a stark contrast to the handsome, gun-toting, backslapping Perry, who shot a coyote while out on his morning jog earlier this year.
Perry is also a highly disciplined candidate who leaves the day-to-day details of his campaign to the professionals. Not White. He immerses himself in campaign minutiae, from the wording of press releases to the scripts of his television ads.
"I think people deserve to hear the voice of the person they're voting for, rather than something that has been sanitized, poll-tested and crafted to manipulate people," he said in an interview with The Associated Press. "They like authenticity."
But White sticks to his own script, and it is difficult to draw the Harvard-educated businessman and lawyer away from his own talking points. Asked to name some living Democrats he admires, White mentioned one Democrat and one Republican — underscoring his theme of bipartisan outreach. (They were Democrat Mike Beebe of Arkansas and Indiana's GOP Gov. Mitch Daniels).
If White can seem stiff in interviews, he is more relaxed and natural when pressing the flesh with voters. On a recent swing through Tyler, a reliable Republican stronghold, White spoke passionately to retired educators, grabbing a wireless microphone and — town hall style — beginning his remarks by saying he wanted to "just have a talk." He later choked up when talking about his father, a retired teacher from San Antonio.
"I haven't supported a Democrat for governor in a long time," said Wayne Berryman, 71, a retired education administrator who came to see White speak. "I hope there are a lot more just like me."
White needs people like Berryman, who voted for Perry in the last two elections but says he is tired of him now. Before Perry, no governor had served a full eight consecutive years. Now Perry is looking at a total of 14 if he's re-elected.
Tyler, which hasn't seen a well-funded Democratic candidate in town in years, would seem an unlikely place for the Democrat to be spending valuable campaign time. But he has been here five times since May, and has visited 73 counties (Texas has 254) just since July 1.
It's part of his strategy to peel away disillusioned Perry supporters and independents, and to limit his losses in the suburbs and rural areas that are staunch Republican strongholds. White is looking to carry Houston, where he was a popular mayor, while running up the scoreboard in the Democratic strongholds of south Texas and Austin.
Perry has retained a lead in the polls, and analysts such as Henson predict undecided voters will break his way in coming weeks. The governor, who got his start in the state House in 1985 and has never lost an election, isn't taking anything for granted.
Last week, Perry began running a barrage of negative TV ads against White, seeking to tar him as a tax-and-spend liberal in the mold of President Barack Obama. The president has dismal approval ratings in Texas, which makes it tough for White no matter how many times he visits Tyler.
Retired Tyler football coach and assistant principal Dick Lindsay, 84, said he wasn't thrilled with Perry but can't vote for White because of "what's going on in Washington."
"I won't support (White)," Lindsay said. "If he was something besides a Democrat, I could vote for him."

Tips and Tricks for Traveling with Kids
Tips and Tricks for Traveling with Kids
Real life parents explain the ins and outs of taking their adventurous families around the world.
Katie Arnold
The author of Outside Online's Raising Rippers, Katie Arnold is the resident expert when it comes to taking kids on adventures of all kinds. With two daughters ages six and four, Katie tells us just what it takes to raft a river and survive an earthquake abroad with the whole family.
How often do you travel as a family?
KATIE: We try to travel somewhere or leave town on an adventure every month, whether it's a self-guided raft trip in New Mexico or Utah, a trip to our summer cottage in Ontario for a month, a beach adventure in Nicaragua, or backcountry ski trip in Colorado. We travel locally and with the seasons, and try to get out of the country at least once or twice a year.
Did you wait to start traveling until the kids were a certain age?
KATIE: No, we started right away – when both of our daughters were one month old. I grew up spending my summers on a remote lake in Ontario, Canada, at an island cottage that's been in our family for four generations. The girls were born in July, and we applied for their passports within days of coming home from the hospital—an adventure in itself—and were on a plane to Canada a month later.
What is the most memorable travel story involving the whole family?
KATIE: There are so many. But most recently, we experienced a 6.7 magnitude earthquake in Nicaragua. It was nap time and the girls slept right through it, but my husband Steve and I yanked them from their beds when the walls started shaking and carried them outside. We come home from every trip with unforgettable memories.
"As long as we all come home alive, the trip is a success!"
Tell us, is it worth it?
KATIE: Absolutely. Even on the harder trips when our three year old gets the stomach bug and is throwing up on slick rock on the hike down from Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, and it rains the whole time, or we get blasted by sand storm while rafting the Rio Grande for three days, it's always worth it. We're building resiliency which will serve us in life and in our travels and adventures.
Sam Moulton
As the man behind Outside Magazine's Buyer's Guide, Sam knows a few tricks to keep the kids happy on long trips. Read on to find out which gear you should put on your next packing list (and see all of Sam's recommendations in this summer's Buyer's Guide).
Describe your family and their introduction to travel.
SAM: We've got two kids, age five and three. They're at great ages now. We went to Snowmass skiing as a family last year. The cut-off for ski school was that they had to be 2.5 years old and potty trained, so my son Beck just made the cut. My daughter Lily spent her first night in a tent when she was just a few months old. Kids are remarkably adaptable, especially when they're really young.
"You just (gently) throw them in a pack and go."
Where's the farthest place you've ever taken them?
SAM: We took Lily to Mexico when she just over a year-old, and have taken both kids all over the country by plane and all over the West on road trips. Snacks are key.
What's your favorite gear related to family travel?
SAM: I'm a huge fan of the ENO double hammock. The kids will play in it for hours. The other key thing with car camping I've found is water. In New Mexico, in summer, that often means a very small creek. But that's all it takes. To little kids, a few inches of water and some small downed logs and rocks is all you need. We turn it into an expedition, get walking sticks, and go exploring.
Sandy Cunningham
With her entire life rooted in travel, Sandy has brought up her two daughters with the same sense of adventure and wanderlust as her own. The President of Outside GO shares her method for packing the family and how to unplug.
What's your secret for getting the girls packed?
SANDY: As soon as my kids hit five and seven, I would give them a list of what they needed to pack. They would lay their favorite items out on the bed with a few fancy glitter shirts (thrown in for good measure) which I was happy to let them take, even if we were going on Safari. The fact that they owned their own packing meant they would be responsible for everything throughout the trip. It worked wonders!
How do you keep the kids off their phones?
SANDY: Let them at their phones and iPads on the plane ride as you enjoy that second glass of Pinot Noir, but when you touchdown, lock the mechanical devices away and let the kids be kids. You would be amazed at how much fun they will have – and how much happier you will be!
Outside GO is an adventure travel company with decades of experience. We'd love to help you plan your next trip. Rest assured it will be authentic, stylish, and built around your wildest dreams.

Portrait of Madge Elliot, September 16 1935
There are quite a few rather poignant portraits of Aboriginal women from various parts of Australia, and I've noticed that for some reason they are often dressed in fairly funky repeat-printed garments:
Methodist Mission Station in Welpa, Queensland, 1957
Portrait of Nancy, Central Australia, 1946
Methodist Mission Station in Welpa, Queensland, 1957
I find the clothes quite appealing thought I suspect these weren't fashionable garments - perhaps missions gave them out?
p.s. How much does the woman in the last photo look like Grace Zabriskie?

The foundations classes are there to ensure that all participants understand the principals of scaling and know how to perform the movements safely. Using the correct technique ensures you get the most out of the program and are not a danger to yourself or other athletes. Some of the movements are complex and require a high-degree of coordination and body control: these movements are best taught in a special series of progressions which allows people to learn the movement patterns more easily. Athletes who have not gone through the learning progressions often develop flawed movements patterns which affects their performance in the longer term.
To fulfil the CM2 Foundations requirement you must attend five Foundations classes. These don't have to be consecutive, you can mix and match to suit your schedule. Five is the minimum number of classes you are required to attend but you can continue to do the Foundations classes for as long as you feel necessary.
These classes are also appropriate for any athletes who may have moved on to the mainstream classes but feel they need more work mastering the basics or developing the technique to move onto the next progression in certain movements.

More Info... by email
Beaumontia is a plant genus that is part of the Apocynaceae family. It contains about nine species of climbing vines that are native to southeast Asia. The plants feature leathery leaves and long, branching stems that have a woody texture. Landscapers utilize these plants as wall cover or for trellises. The plants within the Beaumontia genus are prone to insect infestation, particularly from the whitefly.
This genus is named after Lady Diana Beaumont of Bretton Hall, Yorkshire. Most of the species in this genus have common names that describe the shape of the flower. For example, Beaumontia grandiflora and Beaumontia jerdoniana are both commonly called Easter lily vine, herald's trumpet, or Nepal trumpet flower.
A majority of the plants in the Beaumontia genus grow in forests on mountain slopes, along river banks, or in the valleys of southeast Asia. B. grandiflora is widely spread, populating the landscapes of China, Nepal, India, and several other southeastern Asian countries. B. pitardii is endemic to southern China and Vietnam. B. khasiana grows in India and Myanmar.
The Easter lily vine can grow up to 65 feet (20 m) in length. It features woody stems that are covered with leaves that range in size from 1-6 inches (3-15 cm). The stems are commonly cut and used as rope, while the leaves are used in a variety of herbal medicines.
Distributed along the stem are white, trumpet-shaped flowers. The flowers are fragrant, and they generally attract butterflies and other insects. This plant blooms during the summer and early fall.
When growing the Easter lily vine, it is important to avoid over-watering. Generally, the soil should dry out for a few days between waterings. Too much water can lead to fungal growth.
Adding a fertilizer to the soil every four weeks during the spring typically improves flower growth and the overall appearance of the vine. It is recommended to use a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium and either add it directly into the soil or mix it with water. Both methods ensure the plant gets the nutrients it needs.
It is recommended to treat the Easter Lily Vine with fungicide during the early spring to reduce the chance of fungal infection. Also, applying preventive insecticide is also recommended since the flowers and buds attract whiteflies. The whitefly is a gnat-like orange insect with wings. It typically causes brown spots on leaves, which leads to curling, and eventually the leaf will drop.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

The purpose of the AFCA has always been to maintain the highest possible standards in the game of football and in the football coaching profession. In 1996, the Board of Trustees, with the support from the NCAA, sought to further serve that purpose by establishing the Professional Development Series (PDS) to assist football coaches in their professional growth. The PDS provides AFCA members an opportunity to participate in ongoing lectures that follow a designed curriculum for career football coaches.
Participants will be provided with a way to track their attendance and will be presented with an AFCA/NCAA Professional Development Series Certificate of Completion following the convention. PDS credit can be used as professional development hours towards salary points and recertification. In addition to earning PDS credit participants will also be eligible to receive college credit for completing the Professional Development Series.
The American Football Coaches Association is proud to stand in partnership with Nike to sponsor the Nike Coach of the Year Clinic which provides coaches with opportunities for professional advancement and educational lectures from the nation's top college football coaches.
The AFCA has committed to partnering with United States Sports Academy (USSA) to provide coaches with the opportunity to earn continuing education credit from the USSA, by attending the Professional Development lectures at the annual AFCA convention. The United States Sports Academy (USSA) is an accredited, independent, not-for-profit sports educational degree granting institution.
