The TSM-40-DPS serial console server provides secure in-band and out-of-band access to RS232 serial console and maintenance ports with the added benefit of dual power supplies for failsafe redundant power. 24/7 remote access to servers, routers, switches, firewalls and other network elements reduces costly site visits and truck rolls.
The TSM-40-DPS can remotely monitor network devices, including WTI power switches, constantly watching for significant changes. Administrators are promptly notified via SNMP or email when high temperature, full port buffers, invalid access attempts, communication loss to network equipment or other critical events are detected. Secure SSHv2 encryption, HTTPS/SSL secure web, port-specific password protection, IP packet filtering and other security features allow the TSM-40-DPS to be used in the most secure environments.
Dual Power Inlets for Power Redundancy
The TSM-40-DPS is ideal for mission critical applications, where power redundancy is required in order to ensure uninterrupted access to command functions on vital network devices. The TSM-40-DPS includes two power inlets to allow connection to a primary power source and a secondary power source, providing continued console port access, even if the primary power source fails.
SNMP Control, Monitoring & Configuration
The TSM-40-DPS allows administrators to use managed MIB objects to edit subscriber accounts, set configuration parameters and display unit status. In addition to these MIB based management and control features, SNMP Traps can provide notification when alarm events are detected.
Reverse/Outbound SSH
The TSM-40-DPS allows outbound SSH and Telnet connections to be initiated from a free RS232 serial port. Providing that outbound SSH/Telnet is enabled for the individual subscriber, this provides users and administrators with the ability to connect to other network devices via TCP/IP.
Ping-No-Answer Alarm (Failed Ping Command)
When enabled, the TSM-40-DPS will ping IP addresses or domains, specified by the administrator, according to a set schedule. If the device at that IP address or domain fails to respond, then the Ping-No-Answer alarm can provide notification via Email, Syslog Message or SNMP Trap.
Lost Communication Alarm
The TSM-40 can provide prompt notification via Email, Syslog Message or SNMP trap when serial communication with an attached WTI device is disrupted. The attached WTI device must have the 'Heartbeat' feature enabled.
Security & Co-Location
Secure Shell (SSHv2) encryption and address-specific IP security masks prevent unauthorized access to command and configuration functions. The TSM-40-DPS also provides four different levels of user security; the Administrator, Supervisor, User and View Only level. The Administrator level, which is intended for use by system managers and other administrators, provides complete access to all port connection / disconnection functions, operating features and configuration menus, and also allows access to any port on the switch. The User level is ideal for co-location applications, since users are only permitted to view status and connect to the ports allowed by their user name and password.
Intelligent Port Selection
Each RS232 serial port of the TSM-40-DPS can be individually accessed by number, name, or group via SSH or Telnet sessions. The TSM-40-DPS also allows direct connections using TCP port assignments. Each serial port can be separately configured using simple menu driven commands to set the port password, data rates, flow control and other operating parameters.
The full matrix capability of the TSM-40-DPS allows you to easily connect any two ports on the switch, even when the ports are using different communications settings. Ports can also be connected or disconnected by a third party with supervisor rights, and system managers can swap various RS232 devices between ports at a remote location.
Capture Buffer
"Buffer Mode" allows individual ports to capture and store incoming data, such as error and status messages received from attached console ports. This "snapshot" of the last data received is stored in memory, and can be viewed, saved or erased by the system operator at any time. Console messages can be stored in the TSM-40-DPS port buffers, and sent to a remote location via SYSLOG, or an SNMP message can be generated to alert administrators when new console messages are received.
Includes Enterprise Management Software
All WTI console server products include WTI's convenient Enterprise Management Software, which drastically simplifies the task of managing multiple console servers spread throughout your network infrastructure. The WMU Enterprise Management Software provides a centralized command interface that allows administrators to easily manage, label and control multiple WTI console servers in large network applications, reducing the time required to access console port command functions on connected devices.
Once installed on your PC or laptop, the Enterprise Management Software can search a user-defined IP address range on your network and discover all WTI console servers within the range. Discovered units are then added to the Enterprise Management Software's inventory, allowing administrators to assign a descriptive tag to each console server in order to denote the location or function of the device. In addition to providing a centralized interface for remote console port access, the Enterprise Management Software can also be used to control firmware updates for WTI products and edit and manage user accounts at individual or multiple WTI console servers.

And the American genocide continues, with 333,964 murders in 2011. That's the figure proudly released by Planned Parenthood Federation of America in their report delineating how many abortions they performed in fiscal 2011. Doing some simple math reveals that the number of abortions performed equates to one abortion every 94 seconds.
And Planned Parenthood can be pleased with their progress: the number of abortions they performed in 2011 was up from 2010, when they snuffed out 329,445 lives. And the U.S. government can carry the banner high with the abortion provider; Planned Parenthood received $542.4 million in "government health services grants and reimbursements," including "payments from Medicaid managed care plans."
Planned Parenthood isn't hurting. Its assets total $1.2 billion.

The San Diego area high school students punished for participating in a now-infamous twerking video have had their records cleared.
NBC 7: Students Suspended Over Twerking Video
San Diego Unified School District agreed to erase any record of discipline related to the incident including the sexual harassment charges of any student suspended for producing the controversial video.
U.S. & World
The video, created recently by students in a media class at Scripps Ranch High School, shows teenaged girls twerking or popping their hips in a suggestive dance.
Thirty-two students danced and one student used school property to videotape the group outside class. On April 30, the school suspended all involved.
A confidential settlement was reached between the school district and parents Thursday.
Parents appealed the decision by SRHS Principal Ann Menna to suspend the students and ban some of them from prom, graduation and other school activities.
Attorney Ruth Hargrove represents three of the young women involved. One of her clients was on the verge of having to reveal her record after being granted a scholarship.
She's relieved the suspension will no longer jeopardize students' college applications -- as the matter would have appeared on the widely used "common application."
Many parents defended the students' actions with some dismissing the video as high school antics and others explaining that their daughters thought they were helping a classmate with a school project.
In May, SDUSD board trustees voted not to intervene saying disciplinary action is left up to the individual school, not the district.
Hargrove said there seemed to be a shift in the district's perspective that led to an agreement.
A district spokesperson would not comment in detail about this, just saying a mutual agreement was reached and that students should be mindful of what they post online.
The seniors involved were able to go to prom and walk in the graduation ceremony despite earlier threats from school administrators.
The Scripps Ranch HS student handbook specifically outlines its sexual harassment policy prohibiting "verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature made by someone from or in the educational setting."

BOSTON (Reuters) - A drug that prevents premature ovulation during fertility treatments helped reduce the number of hot flashes by up to 80 percent in a small study of women entering menopause, researchers reported on Wednesday.
They said the drug Cetrotide, made by Merck Serono, a subsidiary of the German company Merck, blocked the action of a key brain hormone involved in hot flashes.
Just three women were tested, and more studies are needed, but the findings offer a potential new way to deal with hot flashes or flushes, which can raise a woman's body temperature by as much as 7 degrees Fahrenheit in a matter of minutes.
Hot flashes, which redden the face and interrupt sleep, can occur as often as twice an hour and are debilitating in one in six older women. Hormone treatments relieve them, but carry a risk of cancer, stroke or other problems.
A team led by Dr. Hans de Boer of Rijnstate Hospital in Arnhem, the Netherlands, used injections of Cetrotide, known generically as cetrorelix, to block the receptor of the brain hormone LHRH, which stands for luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone.
His findings were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
"These preliminary findings are very promising and could be a breakthrough in the search for an effective and safe treatment for severe flushes," De Boer said in a telephone interview.
He said a larger test with a placebo and involving 60 women was expected to start in a few months.
In a 65-year-old woman, daily injections of cetrorelix cut the number of hot flashes from about eight per day down to two or fewer, and its effects lasted for six weeks after the drug was discontinued.
When it was resumed, the number of hot flashes plummeted again.
A second woman, aged 49, dropped from more than 20 episodes a day to about 12, and down to five when the dose was doubled to twice a day.
"She had breast cancer and suffered terribly. She couldn't sleep any more because of the hot flashes. All her hot flashes completely disappeared during the night, and during the day there was an 80 percent reduction," de Boer said in the interview.
The treatment initially failed in a 59-year-old overweight woman, but her episodes decreased by 80 percent within five days after her dose was doubled.
The researchers said the effectiveness of the drug was close to what doctors would expect from estrogen-replacement therapy and markedly exceeded the 25 to 30 percent decreases observed with placebo.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev's uncle Ruslan Tsarni said Tsarnaev was buried in this burial plot in Doswell, near Richmond Va.
Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was buried in a Muslim cemetery in Virginia after a Christian woman spearheaded an interfaith effort to find a resting place for his remains, she said in a statement.
The donation of a plot by Al-Barzakh Cemetery in Doswell, Va., quickly sparked new controversy, with Virginia officials complaining they were not notified and questioning whether any laws were broken that might allow them to "undo" the burial.
"I wouldn't have done it this way," said Peter Stefan, the Worcester, Mass., funeral director who had spent a week trying to find someone to take the body off his hands.
"Not telling the town has created a total nightmare."
Stefan accepted Tsarnaev's remains from the medical examiner and prepared them for burial, but cemeteries in several cities refused to take the body for fear of protests, desecration and notoriety.
As a Muslim, the 26-year-old could not be cremated. Efforts to send his body back to Russia, where his parents live, also failed.
Monitoring the impasse from a distance, Richmond, Va., resident Martha Mullen said she decided to send out emails to local religious leaders and received an offer from Al-Barzakh to donate a plot.
"Jesus tells us 'love your enemies,'" she said in a statement. "Not to hate them even after they are dead."
In an interview with NBC station WWBT-TV, Mullen said she was appalled by the furor over burying Tsarnaev, who was killed in a firefight with police after being identified as a suspect in the April 15 bombing that killed three and wounded 200.
Cambridge Police Dept. file
Tamerlan Tsarnaev's body was buried in Virginia, his uncle says.
"Fundamentally, it struck me as wrong," she said. "We've buried other bad people, so the difference only that seemed to me that difference was the fact he was Muslim."
Mullen, a seminary graduate and licensed counselor who attends a United Methodist church, said her pastor blessed her efforts to find a plot for the accused bomber.
On Thursday, officials in Worcester made the surprise announcement that Tsarnaev's body had been moved and entombed. Stefan said he turned over the body to Tsarnaev's uncle "who made all the arrangements."
"I buried him with my own hands," the uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told NBCWashington.com. "It's over."
Maybe not.
Hours after Mullen revealed where the grave is, officials in Caroline County asked the state to investigate whether the burial was done by the books, although they conceded there's no indication any rules were broken.
"If there were, I think we'd try to undo what's been done," Floyd Thomas, chairman of the county board of supervisors, said at a press conference.
As police posted an officer to watch for vandals or protests, some neighbors expressed outrage. The imam of the Islamic Center of Virginia told The Associated Press that his community was upset and that Mullen had only consulted a local Muslim group.
Bukhari Abdel-Alim of Islamic Funeral Services, which manages the 47-plot cemetery, defended the move, saying that while he and his colleagues "strongly disagree" with Tsarnaev's actions, "that does not release us from our obligation to return his body to the earth."
"He can't bury himself," Abdel-Alim said.

The carbon footprint of materials and products is becoming an increasingly important factor in international trade. At present the carbon emissions balance of the South African economy is not well understood, especially the carbon emissions associated with imports and exports. An investigation was done of known economic input-output and life cycle analyses models addressing this shortcoming. The results reveal that South Africa is a major exporter of carbon; at least 129 per cent more carbon is associated with a dollar earned with exports than a dollar spent on imports, and the carbon footprint of the outflows on average, equates 37 per cent of the total carbon emissions of the economy. Such figures have serious policy-related implications in a future where international climate-change trade limitations will become stricter and binding.

The University of Hawaiʻi gave the community its first look at the preliminary conceptual design for the Daniel K. Inouye Center for Democratic Leadership.
The concepts are the result of a year-long discussion and a workshop that solicited input from a diverse group of public-private partners, community and university leaders.
"I want to see somewhere the soul of Hawaiʻi articulated in that building. And in this transparency of this very beautiful building, that there will still be the heart and soul of Hawaiʻi expressed in it," said Momi Cazimero, Daniel K. Inouye workshop participant.
Architects laid out the preliminary conceptual design at a formal presentation and explained a few unique features of the building, such as the rooftop wind scoop.
"The idea is to capture those beautiful Mānoa winds that come through the campus and naturally ventilate our great innovation zone. So we have this beautiful innovation zone on the ground level with televisions that can broadcast live on the great lawn," said Janine Clifford, Clifford Planning and Architecture architect.
The preliminary design concept includes a three-story structure with a gathering place for civic engagement and possible exhibition space on the ground level.
"And to create a space for the telling of the Dan Inouye story. And to capture the lessons on leadership and courage and humanity. And to inspire succeeding generations to step forward and lead," said Jennifer Sabas, Daniel K. Inouye Institute director.
The second floor is envisioned as an innovation zone for classrooms and presentations. And the third floor would serve as a support and preservation space for items such as Senator Inouye's congressional papers.
"I see the middle schoolers and the high schoolers and the school busses at the end of McCarthy Mall and students learning about democracy, about public service. And many of them being inspired to follow in the senator's footsteps," said Tom Apple, UH Mānoa chancellor.
"This is going to be a great place for the community. We are going to have featured speakers and activities that will draw people in and really help elevate the dialog around all kinds of issues that Hawaiʻi is confronted with in our public sphere," said UH Mānoa College of Social Sciences Dean Denise Konan.
The design development phase will take at least another year and groundbreaking is at least a year and a half away. No cost estimate will be available until various options are explored and the final design is complete.

Working with Design Patterns: Flyweight
The original Design Patterns book contains 23 patterns that identify named solutions to common software development problems. Over the years, I've found a need for many of these patterns over and over again. I'm continually recognizing patterns such as the command and template method. I've found only minimal use for some of the patterns, however, such as flyweight. Yet, flyweight is a design pattern that Java itself heavily depends upon.
Wikipedia indicates that the flyweight pattern is appropriate when "many objects must be manipulated and these cannot afford to have extraneous data." In Java, String objects are managed as flyweight. Java puts all fixed String literals into a literal pool. For redundant literals, Java keeps only one copy in the pool. I can demonstrate this with a simple "language test" written in JUnit:
@Test public void pool() { String author = "Henry David Thoreau"; String authorCopy = "Henry David Thoreau"; assertTrue(author.equals(authorCopy)); assertTrue(author == authorCopy); }
The two String objects are, of course, semantically equal because their contents are the same. I demonstrate the equality by calling .equals() in the first assertion. The two objects are also located in the same location in memory! The second assertion compares the references (addresses) of author and authorCopy.
Even though the two String objects are created separately, under the covers Java is storing them in the same location, to save space. Most applications heavily use Strings. The payback can be significant: Profiling reveals that String objects often represent anywhere from a third to a half of all objects created in a typical application.
As an aside, the use of flyweight in Java to minimize String storage often causes beginning programmers to make a dangerous mistake. When comparing two references to determine whether or not they hold the same character sequences, novice Java programmers will often code:
if (author == authorCopy)
As our test demonstrates, the comparison can work—it can return true even if the two objects were created at separate times during execution of the Java application. Unfortunately, Java does not automatically put dynamically created Strings into the literal pool. The last assertion in the following test fails:
@Test public void pool() { String author = "Henry David Thoreau"; String authorCopy = "Henry David Thoreau"; assertTrue(author.equals(authorCopy)); assertTrue(author == authorCopy); StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder("Henry"); builder.append(" David Thoreau"); assertTrue(author.equals(builder.toString())); // this assertion fails! assertTrue(author == builder.toString()); }
The String literal "Henry David Thoreau" appears in the literal pool because Java was able to extract it during compile time. However, at compile time, Java cannot guarantee that execution of the code would result in " David Thoreau" getting concatenated to the "Henry" literal. Theoretically, the compiler could figure things out in this case, but that would dramatically increase compile time. And, such a tactic would work only in the simplest cases. (You can force a dynamically created string into the literal pool by creating a new String using String's .intern() method.)
The chief lesson? You should almost always compare String references using .equals.
Time Objects
I've been working on a scheduling application that supports appointments. It contains a Time class that encapsulates a time of day, expressed using hour (presuming a 24-hour clock) and minute.
public class Time { private byte hour; private byte minute; public Time(byte hour, byte minute) { this.hour = hour; this.minute = minute; } public byte hour() { return hour; } public byte minute() { return minute; } public String toString() { return hour + ":" + minute; } }
My application must support very large numbers of appointments, perhaps millions, and I'm concerned about the memory requirement. The reality is, however, that appointments during a business day typically start either on the hour, or at quarter hour intervals past the hour. If I use the flyweight pattern so that I only store unique Time instances, I can reduce the maximum number of typical time objects to 96 (24 hours times four possible times per hour). The appointment application will still support odd times, but predictable use suggests that flyweight will dramatically minimize object creation and memory usage.
The key to making flyweight work is by controlling object instantiation using a factory method. The job of a factory method is simply to create objects: given input criteria, return an object of appropriate type. I design a TimeFactory class by writing a simple unit test:
import static org.junit.Assert.*; import org.junit.*; public class TimeFactoryTest { private static final byte HOUR = 23; private static final byte MINUTE = 59; @Test public void create() { Time time = TimeFactory.create(HOUR, MINUTE); assertEquals("23:59", time.toString()); } }
The code to get this test passing is trivial:
public class TimeFactory { public static Time create(byte hour, byte minute) { return new Time(hour, minute); } }
The stage is set for a second test:
@Test public void reuseOfMemory() { Time time1 = TimeFactory.create(HOUR, MINUTE); Time time2 = TimeFactory.create(HOUR, MINUTE); assertSame(time1, time2); }
In other words: If I create two time objects, each with the same hour and minute, they should be the same object in memory. JUnit's assertSame method is equivalent to stating:
assertTrue(time1 == time2);
in this example. The test fails because the create method returns distinct Time instances. The failing reuseOfMemory test drives me to change the implementation in TimeFactory:
import java.util.*; public class TimeFactory { private static Map<String,Time> times = new HashMap<String,Time>(); public static Time create(byte hour, byte minute) { String key = hour + ":" + minute; Time time = times.get(key); if (time == null) { time = new Time(hour, minute); times.put(key, time); } return time; } }

The Little Black Box: Arcam rPac
Hey guys,
I have seen this little box recently and it intrigued me a lot. It has an impressive build quality.
It has a very thick aluminum case and it feels like a tank can get over it and wouldn't hurt it.
Ok…Now I am curios..would it hurt it? Why am I thinking of this?
Because of this crazy video(where they run a tank over a 5000EUR dac, chord qbd76) :
Hmm…All i need now is a tank… Does anybody know a guy…with a tank?
I managed to get a test unit and while I had a good feeling about this small box, it still managed to surprise me.
Let's get to business shall we? For testing, I have used Sennheiser HD800, Focal Spirit One, Audeze LCD2, Fiio E17 and Burson Conductor.
Here are my impressions on some songs:
Pink Floyd – Time
The treble is really detailed and sparkly at the beginning. The bells were nicely separated and had a very present ring. The presentation was detailed and I just loved the drums coming from every direction which you can easily pinpoint. The voice was natural and had a nice texture.
Sons de la frontera – Al jardin de la alegria
This was a nice surprise. The sound was airy, articulate, controlled & detailed. Loved how the guitar strings snapped with full extension as they were right near me. During the test I liked the sound presentation so much as I listened to 4-5 other songs from that album.
Rodrigo Y Gabriela (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) Angry And Dead Man Alive
Wow…I just loved this song…I really got caught in the moment. I don't know about you but I just love articulate sound and this combo, rPac+Spirit One, was just awesome. The guitars gave me goosebumps. The drums…had a very very good impact and round full sound.
Leonard Cohen – The Traitor
Again loved the guitars. rPac goes very well with the articulate nature of the Focal Spirit One. Leonard's voice seemed natural and present as it should be throughout the song.
Dire Straits – Sultans of Swing
Really nice PRAT. Really toe tapping! I really feel that the separation of instruments is quite good in this small package. The sound articulate as always and the bass was fast and with good extension.
Infected Mushroom – Army of Mushrooms – Wanted To
The PRAT was awesome. I really love the well extended bass with the rPac. The sound was fast, energetic and really engaging.
Amandine Beyer & Gli Ingogniti – The Four Seasons – L autunno Allegro
The sound was quite open and dynamic. On this piece, however I realized the background wasn't quite black. I changed the stock usb cable with a Chord Usb Silver Plus and the problem was solved. The difference was quite noticeable.
Comparison to Fiio E17
Given the price point you would ask yourself how it would compare to FIIO E17.
These units are pretty close but there are some differences between them and it may be a matter of choice after all.
Sound wise
The rPac had a more detailed sound with better decay, the sound was more articulated & better rounded at both ends, with better instrument separation, better bass extension and more energetic.
E17 has a warmer presentation & a cleaner sound than the rPac and that is mainly because the E17 runs on battery while the arcam is powered by the USB. I have tried a better cable with rPac and it really improves the sound.
Sound wise, I prefer the rPac to E17.
I have tried Sennheiser HD800 with both units. rPac was maxed out for normal listening, while the E17 had more until reaching maximum, so it seemed like e17 had more juice. However I felt that the control was quite better on the rPac, and it did reach a good normal listening volume. So rPac quite impressed me with this. I ended up listening to a whole bunch of songs with the pretentious HD800 & the arcam unit (never expected this…wow) . There I was…minding my own business when the rPac surprised me as hell with this.
Build quality
The e17 is almost half the size of the rPac.
Both have a very sturdy aluminium case, but the rPac really looks impenetrable.
While the E17 has a usb input, SPDIF In, aux out & headphones out, the rPac has only the USB In, headphones out and RCA out.
The E17 has a nice menu while the rPac has only volume buttons on it having a rather spartan but pleasant design .
While you can use Fiio separately as amplifier and as dac, the rPac could be used just an external dac with other devices.
Also the E17 has a battery than can become really handy in some situations, and also contributes to a cleaner sound.
I really loved this little box and I recommend it with ease to anybody who wants portable sound. Don't forget that it really benefits from a good USB cable.
- Excellent build quality
- Good amplification and DAC with good instrument separation, wide soundstage, articulated & detailed sound, excellent PRAT, good decay, well extended & punchy bass, nicely overall rounded sound, sparkly but not bright treble
- rca out
- no battery
- can't be used just as amp (only as dac)
- has only volume buttons with no screen or menu (i don't find this upsetting but there might be people that would)

Personal Sessions
New Appointment
- Couples Counselling with Anaiya and Pete
- 1 Hour
- £144.00
- Anaiya Sophia and Pete Wilson are a committed couple who draw upon their individual and combined experiences to create a safe and loving space for the session to unfold. With Anaiya's Passion for Sacred Embodiment and Pete's Invitation to Truth, together the two most essential forces of this era (Birth of Divine Human) are present within the field.
- Oracle Soul Session with Anaiya
- 1 Hour
- £55.00
SOUL ORACLE sessions with Anaiya ~ Dearest Friends, I have taken a step recently - to dare to utter what I sense when I sit before you. To be open enough, lucid and surrendered enough to allow the transmission to flow.
I used to do this in-person 20 odd years ago, and stepped back, because of the enormity of it all, and how I would often cry, and become overwhelmed by the beauty and fierceness of love that was spoken to the other person. I have decided to get over that and offer my voice to utter what must be said.
This can be done in 2 ways, either an online session (that gets recorded) where I will speak all that I sense within your soul and the many reasons you are here at this time. Or by sending me a photo and/or a short voice recording. During these sessions, I will tune into the challenges you face and the medicine you bring. And to be open enough to serve whatever needs to come through. Before every session, there will be an opening prayer. I often offer a couple of transmissions and 'homework' as an aftercare gesture. All sessions will be recorded and sent to you.

SACRAMENTO (AP) — An Oklahoma man has been arrested on California charges that he operated a website for so-called revenge porn and extorted money from the victims, the California Attorney General's Office said Friday.
Casey E. Meyering, 28, was arrested Thursday in Tulsa on five felony extortion charges filed in Napa County.
It's the latest of several arrests in California involving websites that post compromising photographs, which often are submitted by former lovers attempting to shame the victims after breakups. Photos also can be stolen or hacked from victims' computers.
Meyering owned and operated a website that solicited anonymous postings of private photographs of women, according to the attorney general's office. More than 400 were on the site's California forum.
Prosecutors allege the site required victims to pay $250 to remove the pictures.
Meyering is awaiting the appointment of a defense attorney as he fights extradition to California, said Nicholas Pacilio, a spokesman for the attorney general's office. He is entitled to an extradition hearing within 10 days of his arrest.
A Napa County judge set his bond at $100,000.
The investigation began when a woman from Northern California found nude photos of her on the website and said they were stolen from her computer, according to prosecutors. They said the website encouraged posters to identify the victims by their city and state and sometimes used their partial or full names. At least one victim was under age 18 when her photographs were taken, prosecutors allege.
Victims who wanted their photos removed were forced to pay $250 through an account registered to Meyering at a non-existent Beverly Hills address, they said. Investigators said they traced the money transfer to Meyering's bank account in Tulsa.
"This behavior is the very definition of predatory, and this website made a game out of humiliating victims for profit," Attorney General Kamala Harris said in a statement. "These actions at their core are about one individual exploiting the privacy and trust of others for financial gain."

Alaska Department of Law Internship Program
- Introduction
- Intern Experiences
- Frequently Asked Questions
- How to Apply
- Alaska News Sources
- Alaska Travel Information
The Alaska Department of Law, under direction of the Attorney General, is the largest law firm in the state. The Alaska Department of Law has volunteer summer intern positions available for students enrolled in accredited law schools. Past interns have come from schools across the country, including University of California, Hastings and Berkeley, Columbia, Vermont, University of Oregon, McGeorge, Rutgers, NYU, Yale, University of Idaho, Stanford, Brooklyn, Boston College, Georgetown, Cornell, Emory and University of Washington.
We ask for a ten-week commitment for the program. We do not offer a stipend or salary, but many law schools provide financial aid to students who intern for public agencies such as the Department of Law.
Internships are available in both the Civil Division and the Criminal Division.
Civil Division Internships:
We have thirteen different sections in the Department of Law, all representing different agencies of the State and the Governor's office. As an intern, you will be assigned to one of our sections and during your internship you may do legal research, writing, and courtroom work in the trial court under the direction of experienced trial lawyers. We also make available as many learning opportunities as possible, including attendance at depositions, client meetings, witness preparation and other day to day attorney activities. We place our interns in our Anchorage, Juneau and Fairbanks offices. Second and third-year students working in the Fairbanks office or in the Human Services section, who have completed at least one-half of the course work required for a law degree, are eligible for a "legal intern permit" under Alaska Bar Rule 44, allowing you to appear in court.
During the internship, you will receive feedback of both your written and courtroom work from attorneys who have supervised and observed you. We strive to provide every intern interested with a substantive writing sample at the end of the internship.
Criminal Division Internships:
The Criminal Division prosecutes violations of state criminal law committed by adults and a large percentage of the serious crimes committed by juveniles. The day-to-day prosecution services are carried out by twelve regional district attorney's offices. Our priority is to assign interns to Anchorage, Fairbanks, Kenai, and Palmer, but other possible locations include Bethel, Dillingham, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Kotzebue, Juneau, Nome, and Sitka.
Second and third-year students who have completed at least one-half of the course work required for a law degree are eligible for a "legal intern permit" under Alaska Bar Rule 44, allowing you to appear in court. You may also have the opportunity to travel to a court in an outlying area.
Intern Experiences
Read about the experiences of past summer interns at the Department of Law.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Alaska Department of Law pay its interns?
The internship program at the Alaska Department of Law is a volunteer program. Check with your law school to see if financial aid is available for students who intern for public agencies such as the Department of Law. We will also work with you if you would like to do an externship.
How long is the internship and when would it start?
Our preference is to ask students to commit to an internship of at least ten weeks. The exact start and end dates of your internship are flexible, but we prefer to have all interns start within a two week period which is established based on the intern's school schedules.
How does the application process work?
See "How to Apply," below.
When should I apply?
We accept applications for intern positions at any time. Acceptance is on a rolling basis but we typically fill our intern positions by mid February. For web applicants, it is best to have your application materials in by the end of December.
What areas of law would I be working in?
The Department of Law has two divisions, one that handles the civil work of the State and one that handles the criminal work.
Civil Division
The Civil Division of the Department of Law is divided into 13 statewide sections:
- Child Protection
- Commercial and Fair Business
- Environmental Law
- Human Services
- Information and Project Support
- Labor and State Affairs
- Legislation and Regulations
- Natural Resources
- Opinions, Appeals, and Ethics
- Regulatory Affairs and Public Advocacy
- Special Litigation
- Torts and Workers' Compensation
- Transportation
Not all sections will necessarily take an intern for a given summer, but you should communicate your preferences in your cover letter. If you are interested in more than one section, list all of the sections in which you have an interest in the cover letter.
Criminal Division
The Criminal Division has District Attorney Offices in the larger cities of Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau as well as the smaller towns of Barrow, Bethel, Dillingham, Kenai, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Kotzebue, Nome, Palmer and Sitka. All offices handle the same types of criminal cases. Applicants may indicate a preference for location.
Where in Alaska would I work?
The Civil Division has seven offices throughout the state but internships generally are available only in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau. Where interns are placed depends on the needs of the sections in each city; however, the majority of our interns are in Anchorage.
What kinds of projects am I likely to work on?
Civil Division
As an intern in the Civil Division, you may do legal research, writing, and courtroom work in the trial court under the direction of experienced trial and appellate lawyers. Work projects will vary by section, but we want interns to get as many different legal experiences as possible, so if an opportunity arises in a different section, supervisors generally are willing to let interns participate. We also include interns in as many other aspects of attorney work as possible. In past years this has included having interns accompany attorneys in mediation, arbitration, depositions, witness preparation, motion practice and client meetings.
In addition, second and third-year student interns in the Fairbanks office, in the Human Services Section in Anchorage, and in the Criminal Division who have completed at least one-half of the course work required for a law degree are eligible for a "legal intern permit" under Alaska Bar Rule 44. This allows the intern to appear in court.
Criminal Division
An internship in a District Attorney Office provides the opportunity to do legal research, writing and courtroom work in felony and misdemeanor criminal prosecutions under the direction of experienced trial lawyers. With a legal intern permit you may expect to handle at least one misdemeanor jury trial, under supervision. Other duties include screening and charging cases, presenting cases to the grand jury and petit jury, writing and responding to motion work and appearing at evidentiary and sentencing hearings.
How do I find out about housing?
There are a number of places that advertise short-term housing, including the Anchorage Daily News and Craigslist. In past years, many interns have obtained housing at the University of Alaska, Anchorage. More information on this can be found at http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/ccs/guesthousing/
Do I need a car?
Not necessarily. Many housing options are within walking, bus or bicycling distance from the office. Many of our interns bring bicycles from home, and others have bought bicycles on Craigslist. Some interns have even bought older cars when they arrived and resold them at the end of the summer.
Can I get work study credit?
Check with your school to see whether it allows school credit for the internship. Interns have, in the past, earned credit toward school.
Can I take time off during my internship?
Some sections will approve leave in the middle of the internship (i.e. a one-week vacation) as long as the full term of the internship is ten weeks.

Nick & Bee Say: Merry Christmas everybody! While no doubt many of you reading this will have been wearing warm winter clothes for weeks, and preparing for some snow, us in So Cal have been a little…hotter. We're used to that though, seeing as we spent Christmas 2013 in Cartagena, Colombia. So we've still managed to get into the holiday vibe, and this year have incorporated a very special film into the festivities (spoiler it's Star Wars!)
Here's the latest in our Los Angeles YouTube escapades, a little Christmas bonus for you. We have a few blogs to come in the new year about weekend escapes from L.A. but in the meantime have a brilliant Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Car Wars
Pop quiz! Quick! Which industry is evolving faster? Automobiles or computers?
If you answered the latter, you are CORRECT! You, sir or madam, have a keen eye for the obvious. Congratulations!
The hoary comparison goes something like this: if cars evolved as fast as computers, your car would get 300 mpg, cost $1000, and you could conveniently fly it from New York to Paris for dinner. Clearly, cars do none of those things. Caught somewhere between the innovations of Henry Ford and Steve Jobs are the electronics in your car's dashboard. The AM/FM/CD receiver there is a little more evolved than your internal-combustion engine, but not by much. In fact, nothing dates a car as quickly as its dashboard entertainment.
Car makers struggle to develop proprietary in-vehicle-infotainment (IVI) technology while not obviously revealing how behind the times they are thanks in part to the long lead times of vehicle development. The painful fact is that even in a new car, the phone you toss onto the center console blows away anything the car maker built into the dashboard. Everyone knows the current situation isn't tenable; something needs to change.
Car makers are hedging their bets, and as a result, their product offerings are all over the map. All of them have developed proprietary IVI; the systems are handsomely profitable and they also help distinguish one model and brand from another, but they embarrassingly lag phone and tablet development. A possible fix may come in the form of GENIVI, an open-source car-electronics platform that would let car makers innovate more quickly at lower cost. Another possibility is Tizen, a project within Linux that would integrate devices with IVI.
Car makers are also wisely partnering with the computer software giants Microsoft, Apple, and Google. Microsoft powers Ford's MyFord Touch system; to accommodate more apps, Ford will begin increasing screen size in the Fiesta from 4 to 6.5 inches and streamline the voice commands. Chevrolet has just announced that the MyLink on the Spark and Sonic will be fully integrated with Apple's Siri on iPhone 4S and 5 – complete with a Siri steering-wheel button. "Siri, I'm driving the wrong way down a one-way street at 120 mph and I'm really buzzed, can you tell me what temperature I should serve gazpacho?"
The other option is to drop an Android-based, smartphone-like device into the dashboard. Google is reportedly chomping at the bit to extend its Android invasion into the car ecosystem. Unlike Apple, it does have good maps….. With still another approach, Sprint is showing its Velocity system in some Chrysler UConnect Access vehicles; Chrysler has selected Sprint to run its vehicle wireless connectivity. Today, 4% of U.S. vehicles are connected to the internet; within 10 years, the number could jump to 90%. Another reason why car makers want to get this sorted out asap.
Parenthetically, the National Transportation Safely Board wants to mandate collision-avoidance systems in future cars. With the driver distractions that are accompanying increasingly smart dashboards, that might not be a bad idea.
One thing is for sure: the days of a dumb 6-disc CD changer and a USB port are long gone. Your dashboard will be powered by a sophisticated operating system, be completely conversant with your phone, and will provide terrific connectivity. The part about flying to Paris is still a few years off.

Today tado° presented its next generation software at IFA in Berlin - transforming tado° into the Smart Climate Assistant.
The unique features of the Smart Climate Assistant make your life more comfortable whilst reducing your energy bill. In addition, you can access a brand new Energy Savings Report (more information) which shows how much energy tado° has saved you on a month-by-month basis.
Open Window Detection: Sudden changes in temperature or humidity when a window is opened are detected by the tado° Open Window Detection, and the heating is turned off automatically to not waste energy.
"Repair Services" Button (available: Autumn 2017*): Access immediate help from an engineer in your area as soon as a problem occurs with your heating and air conditioning.
Geofencing: Presence detection ensures that the heating is automatically turned down when the last person leaves home, and that it is already comfortably warm by the time the first person returns. Furthermore, you can now adjust the geofencing radius which switches your tado° to home mode.
Weather Adaptation: When sunshine is predicted, tado° turns the heating down to take advantage of the solar gain and avoid overshooting the set temperature, for higher efficiency and comfort at home. The new climate report now visualises these effects.

Rise & Fall Falls In Price (In Fact, To Free)
This is unexpected. Midway have released 2006's Stainless Steel Games' swansong Rise & Fall for free. Nought. Nada. Bar a couple of gigs of bandwidth, of course. It's an interesting one, certainly – its idea was merging a traditional RTS with a more hands-on hero mode. You built up the ability and then, when the moment was right and battle was joined, you took control of your hero in a first person fashion. It actually divided the RPS team's affections. I thought it was mediocre at best while Tim Stone totally adored it. And even I agree at this price, it's certainly amusing enough to take the chance on, in case you're in Tim's corner rather than mine. Get it from here. Also, some a video beneath the cut to help you make up your mind.

"The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it is robbing the human race... of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth." (John Stuart Mill)Errollyn Wallen and playwright Bonnie Greer (pictured: Errollyn, left, and Bonnie, in rehearsals), opens tonight at the ROH Linbury Studio. It's the story of the run-up to Bonnie's appearance on the BBC's Question Time alongside...That Politician. What emerged from her experience is a picture of the state of the nation: how we see ourselves, our country, our fellow human beings and freedom of speech. My article about it is in today's Independent. As we point out in the feature, it's not every day you hear the words of John Stuart Mill being sung at Covent Garden.
Here's a taster, from Bonnie:
"Any organisations or groups of people that prevent others from expressing a legitimate opinion, whether in print or in person, are absolute enemies of democracy...That's the reason I said yes. I'm the daughter of a man who grew up under racial segregation and couldn't speak out, so there's no way I'm going to be part of anything that won't allow a person to speak his or her mind. I think some of the great and the good were upset that I did this [appearing on Question Time]– and they were even more upset that it turned out to be OK. This is about freedom of speech and expression; about saying yes to the tumultuous nature of democracy."

On the left is my great great grandmother, Georgia Francis Ann Purser. She was born October 7, 1871, in Searcy, White County, Arkansas, and died July 14, 1956, in Henderson County, Texas. She was married to William Calhoun Hunt.
Next to Georgia is her oldest child, and my great grandfather, James William "Earl" Hunt. James was born January 1, 1891, in Lee County, Texas, and died April 7, 1961, in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He was married to Ethel Modena Martindale.
Next to Earl is his youngest child, and my Grandma Edith's younger brother, George Lee Hunt. Uncle George was born January 11, 1927, in Oklahoma, and died November 1987 in Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma.
Standing in front are George's two sons. I think they are Lester Wayne Hunt and James Lee Hunt, but I'm not entirely sure (if any Hunt cousins are reading this and know for sure, please feel free to let me know!).

Stonington won't fight woman's effort to obtain Haberek phone records
Stonington - The town will no longer oppose attempts by a Pawcatuck woman to obtain evidence from a cellphone company that she claims will show that First Selectman Ed Haberek sent her "sexually graphic photos of himself" on his town-issued BlackBerry in 2010.
Haberek and Town Attorney Thomas Londregan announced the change in strategy Wednesday night during a Board of Finance meeting, at which members sought answers about the lawsuit filed by Tracy Swain and the financial damage it could do to the town.
"My concern is the well-being of the taxpayers because this could cost the town a lot of money," Board of Finance Chairman Glenn Frishman said.
The board wanted to discuss the issue because members are concerned the town is spending money budgeted for legal fees on what they feel is an issue stemming from Haberek's alleged personal conduct.
So far, the town has paid town labor attorney Michael Satti $467 for work he did on the case through Dec. 21. Satti has not yet billed the town for motions he has filed since then.
Board of Finance members Andrew Rines and Dudley Wheeler asked Londregan if not opposing the release of the records would get the town out of the lawsuit.
"I think this will go a long way towards doing that, but I don't know," Londregan said.
Swain's suit also charges that the town allowed Haberek to contact Swain inappropriately, let him transmit graphic photos of himself using town equipment, failed to monitor Haberek's communications and failed to enforce a policy regarding proper use of town equipment and electronic communications.
Satti said the town already has given Swain's attorney records of the calls made from his BlackBerry. But the action by Swain against Verizon, the town's cellphone provider, seeks copies of the alleged photos, as well as the content of emails and text messages sent from that number.
Also at Wednesday's meeting, Londregan said it is up to the Board of Selectmen, of which Haberek is a member, to determine whether the town should fight Swain's lawsuit or settle with her.
Some finance board members are concerned that Haberek appears to have a conflict of interest in this decision because it is his alleged conduct that led to the suit. In addition, if Swain's allegations are true, the images could become public as evidence.
But Haberek pointed out that he is named in most every lawsuit filed against the town by virtue of being the town's chief elected official.
After the meeting, Haberek said it is too early to say whether he would recuse himself from selectmen's discussion about how to handle the case.
Londregan also told finance board members that it is too early for them to begin talking about the potential financial impact on the town because the case has just been filed, and no negotiations have been held.
Swain's suit states that prior to Jan. 12, 2010, Haberek had extensive telephone, email, text message and Facebook communication with her. When Swain told him on that date to stop sending the messages, he allegedly sent her the photos of himself. Swain has said that Haberek told her he sent those messages while he was in his office.
In the lawsuit, Swain's attorney, Scott Camassar, said Swain has sued the town in part because it has interfered with her effort to obtain evidence about Haberek from Verizon.
In court documents, Camassar argued "the wrongs perpetuated by Mr. Haberek in sending photos to the plaintiff constitute a private civil matter between him and the plaintiff."
But over the past month, Satti, the town's labor attorney, has filed several motions in the case - called Swain vs. Cellco Partnership - seeking to prevent the disclosure of the phone records and stopping Haberek's deposition.
Satti explained to the finance board Wednesday that he filed an appearance and motions in the case because Swain's action against Verizon was seeking information from a phone number issued to the town, and the town was never informed of the action until Haberek had been subpoenaed for a deposition.
"If I thought for a moment this was personal in nature, I would not have got the town involved. I would have said 'go see a private attorney,'" he said.
Two years ago, Swain complained about the alleged incident to state police, who investigated and determined no crime had been committed.
During that probe, state police seized Haberek's BlackBerry and computer, and obtained a search warrant for hundreds of pages of his Facebook messages and postings. The Day requested access to that information, but the state Freedom of Information Commission ruled that state police did not have to release it.

Vandals Strike Berkeley Marine Recruiting Center
The United States Marine Corps Officer Selection Office in downtown Berkeley came under attack once again last week, when a group of vandals broke the building's windows with sledgehammers and splashed them with red paint.
Officers at the recruiting center at 64 Shattuck Square were not able to say whether the incident was related to protests taking place throughout the rest of the country on the eve of the sixth anniversary of the Iraq war.
Berkeley Police Department spokesperson, Officer Andrew Frankel, said the police received a call at 8:54 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18, from an eyewitness who reported that three suspects were breaking the Marine Corps office's plate-glass windows and splashing them with red paint.
Eyewitnesses saw the suspects leave the scene immediately after the crime, Frankel said. Berkeley police officers combed the neighborhood for suspects and talked to eyewitnesses but were unable to find the culprits.
However, an hour later, police officers arrested a man on an unrelated warrant whom they consider a "person of interest" in the incident.
Frankel said the man was a Berkeley resident but declined to release his name and age, as the incident is still under investigation.
Captain John-Paul Wheatcroft, who has been in charge of the Marine recruiting center since Captain Richard Lund left about a year ago, confirmed that the office had been vandalized but directed all queries to Staff Sergeant Matt Deboard.
Deboard said that, according to eyewitness accounts, a group of vandals attacked the recruiting station around 8 p.m., hitting its windows with sledgehammers and "slopping gooey thick red paint on them."
He said police arrived immediately after they were called.
"We boarded up the windows as best as we could to prevent further damage," he said. "The landlord is in the process of cleaning them up. He is paying for it."
Deboard said nobody was present at the office when it was vandalized.
The Berkeley Marine recruiting center was catapulted into the national and international limelight in September 2007, when the antiwar group Code Pink first rallied outside its office in an attempt to drive the recruiters out of town.
The Marines responded that they would stay in Berkeley as long as they had a valid lease.
In January 2008, the Berkeley City Council came under heavy criticism when it called the downtown Marines "uninvited and unwelcome intruders."
The council rescinded its statement in February, explaining that while it continued to oppose the war in Iraq, it respected the men and women of the U.S. military.

As the saying goes, all good things must eventually come to an end.
FC Dallas' 19-game unbeaten streak fell by the wayside Saturday night at Rio Tinto Stadium after a 2-0 defeat to reigning MLS Cup champion Real Salt Lake.
Unfortunately for Dallas, who could very well play RSL in the conference semifinals, both goals were conceded after defensive errors.
"We haven't had many defensive lapses this year," Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman said. "But tonight we had two, and they cost us."
WATCH: Full match highlights
On the first by Ned Grabavoy, the Salt Lake veteran had a few steps on center back Ugo Ihemelu and was able to head the ball past FCD goalkeeper Dario Sala following an impeccable service from teammate Robbie Russell.
"That was one of those balls we had the ability to win, but didn't," Hyndman said. "They took the ball out wide and it looked like Ugo and Grabavoy got to the ball at the same time. Dario [Sala] was in no man's land. It was a goal that was stoppable."
The game marked Ihemelu's first start since suffering a concussion against Philadelphia on Aug. 8. All in all, Hyndman was pleased with his veteran center back's performance in his first action in over two months.
"He was fine — it was a difficult game," the FCD manager said. "He had to face two good forwards. I was most worried about his heading and the contact but he did fine."
Ihemelu wasn't the only starter back in the first XI following a long absence. Captain Daniel Hernandez also returned for his first action since Sept. 16 against New York. He has been out with a right hamstring injury.
"I don't know if any of our midfielders had a good game." Hyndman said. "They put a lot of pressure on us the whole game. Dax [McCarty] and Daniel [Hernandez] spent a lot of time chasing the game. It was a very difficult day."
WATCH: Hyndman talks to MLSsoccer.com postgame
RSL added a second goal from Javier Morales, who also got the secondary assist on Grabavoy's tally, just before full time. On the play, Robbie Findley spotted Morales, who was running free behind the Dallas defense and easily punched in Findley's cross to make it 2-0.
Last week, Hyndman and several FCD players lamented how flat they were in a 2-2 draw to Colorado. And though they performed quite well in the opening 15 minutes on Saturday night, FCD were plagued by inconsistent play.
"We knew how important this game was, and we wanted to keep the streak alive," Hyndman said. "We did everything we possibly could. We had a few chances but just couldn't put any of them away."

The Halloween treats came a day late for plenty of die-hard Apple fans when the new iPad Air hit stores Friday.
The new iPad Air, a thinner, lighter and faster-running version of its previous large tablet computers, went on sale Friday with a starting price of $499. The company also unveiled an updated version of its iPad Mini recently. It goes on sale sometime in November.
At Apple's flagship store in New York City on Fifth Avenue, soggy weather couldn't keep aspiring owners from the new gadjet.
U.S. & World
"I got here around eight and around 8:15 it started raining, but by the time it started raining I was halfway through the line, so I waited another 15, 20 minutes, got in there and everything was pretty easy," Queens resident Joshua Wahhab said.
Apple is expecting strong sales of both models — so much so that CEO Tim Cook told analysts during the company's most recent earnings conference call that "this is going to be an iPad Christmas" as he predicted year-over-year growth.
The new 9.7-inch iPad Air, which weighs just one pound and is 20 percent thinner than the previous model, was presented as "the lightest full size tablet in the world." It is up to eight times faster than the older generation and boasts 10 hours of battery life, Apple said.
"This one is way thinner," Wahhab said. "I have a Mac. I have an iPhone. It just works well together. I like iOS more than I like Android in general, so I figured I'd get the iPad. And it's sexy."
