A.3 Installing SSLeay
Samba uses the SSLeay package, written by Eric Young, to provide Secure Sockets Layer support on the server side. Because of U.S. export law, however, the SSLeay package cannot be shipped with Samba distributions that are based in the United States. For that reason, the Samba creators decided to leave it as a separate package entirely. You can download the SSLeay distribution from any of the following sites:
The latest version as of this printing is 0.9.0b. Download it to the same server as the Samba distribution, then uncompress and untar it. You should be left with a directory entitled SSLeay-0.9.0b. After changing to that directory, you will need to configure and build the SSL encryption package in the same way that you did with Samba.
SSLeay uses a Perl-based configure script. This script modifies the Makefile that constructs the utilities and libraries of the SSLeay package. However, the default script is hardcoded to find Perl at /usr/local/bin/perl. You may need to change the configure script to point to the location of the Perl executable file on your Unix system. For example, you can type the following to locate the Perl executable:#
which perl/usr/bin/perl
Then modify the first line of the configure script to force it to use the correct Perl executable. For example, on our Red Hat Linux system:#!/usr/bin/perl # # see PROBLEMS for instructions on what sort of things to do # when tracking a bug -tjh ...
After that, you need to run the configure script by specifying a target platform for the distribution. This target platform can be any of the following:BC-16 BC-32 FreeBSD NetBSD-m86 NetBSD-sparc NetBSD-x86 SINIX-N VC-MSDOS VC-NT VC-W31-16 VC-W31-32 VC-WIN16 VC-WIN32 aix-cc aix-gcc alpha-cc alpha-gcc alpha400-cc cc cray-t90-cc debug debug-irix-cc debug-linux-elf dgux-R3-gcc dgux-R4-gcc dgux-R4-x86-gcc dist gcc hpux-cc hpux-gcc hpux-kr-cc irix-cc irix-gcc linux-aout linux-elf ncr-scde nextstep purify sco5-cc solaris-sparc-cc solaris-sparc-gcc solaris-sparc-sc4 solaris-usparc-sc4 solaris-x86-gcc sunos-cc sunos-gcc unixware-2.0 unixware
For our system, we would enter the following:#
./Configure linux-elfCC =gcc CFLAG =-DL_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -DBN_ASM -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer EX_LIBS = BN_MULW =asm/bn86-elf.o DES_ENC =asm/dx86-elf.o asm/yx86-elf.o BF_ENC =asm/bx86-elf.o CAST_ENC =asm/cx86-elf.o RC4_ENC =asm/rx86-elf.o RC5_ENC =asm/r586-elf.o MD5_OBJ_ASM =asm/mx86-elf.o SHA1_OBJ_ASM =asm/sx86-elf.o RMD160_OBJ_ASM=asm/rm86-elf.o THIRTY_TWO_BIT mode DES_PTR used DES_RISC1 used DES_UNROLL used BN_LLONG mode RC4_INDEX mode
After the package has been configured, you can build it by typing
make. If the build did not successfully complete, consult the documentation that comes with the distribution or the FAQ at http://www.cryptsoft.com/ssleay/ for more information on what may have happened. If the build did complete, type
installto install the libraries on the system. Note that the makefile installs the package in /usr/local/ssl by default. If you decide to install it in another directory, remember the directory when configuring Samba to use SSL.
A.3.1 Configuring SSLeay for Your System
The first thing you need to do is to set the
PATHenvironment variable on your system to include the /bin directory of the SSL distribution. This can be done with the following statement:PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ssl/bin
That's the easy part. Following that, you will need to create a random series of characters that will be used to prime SSLeay's random number generator. The random number generator will be used to create key pairs for both the clients and the server. You can create this random series by filling a text file of a long series of random characters. For example, you can use your favorite editor to create a text file with random characters, or use this command and enter arbitrary characters at the standard input:cat >/tmp/private.txt
The Samba documentation recommends that you type characters for longer than a minute before interrupting the input stream by hitting Control-D. Try not to type only the characters that are under your fingers on the keyboard; throw in some symbols and numbers as well. Once you've completed the random file, you can prime the random number generator with the following command:# ssleay genrsa -rand /tmp/private.txt >/dev/null 2451 semi-random bytes loaded Generating RSA private key, 512 bit long modulus ..+++++ .................................+++++ e is 65537 (0x10001)
You can safely ignore the output of this command. After it has completed, remove the series of characters used to create the key because this could be used to recreate any private keys that were generated from this random number generator:rm -f /tmp/private.txt
The result of this command is the hidden file . rnd, which is stored in your home directory. SSLeay will use this file when creating key pairs in the future.
A.3.2 Configuring Samba to use SSL
At this point, you can compile Samba to use SSL. Recall that in Chapter 2, Installing Samba on a Unix System, we said you have to first run the configure script, which initializes the makefile, before you compile Samba. In order to use SSL with Samba, you will need to reconfigure the makefile:./configure --with-ssl
After that, you can compile Samba with the following commands:#
make clean#
make all
If you encounter an error that says the smbd executable is missing the file ssl.h, you probably didn't install SSLeay in the default directory. Use the configure option
--with-sslincto point to the base directory of the SSL distribution - in this case, the directory that contains include/ssl.h.
On the other hand, if you have a clean compile, you're ready to move on to the next step: creating certificates.
A.3.3 Becoming a Certificate Authority
The SSL protocol requires the use of X.509 certificates in the protocol handshake to ensure that either one or both parties involved in the communication are indeed who they say they are. Certificates in real life, such as those use for SSL connections on public web sites, can cost in the arena of $300 a year. This is because the certificate must have a digital signature placed on it by a certificate authority. A certificate authority is an entity that vouches for the authenticity of a digital certificate by signing it with its own private key. This way, anyone who wishes to check the authenticity of the certificate can simply use the certificate authority's public key to check the signature.
You are allowed to use a public certificate authority with SSLeay. However, you don't have to. Instead, SSLeay will allow you to declare yourself a trusted certificate authority - specifying which clients you choose to trust and which clients you do not. In order to do this, you will need to perform several tasks with the SSLeay distribution.
The first thing you need to do is specify a secure location where the certificates of the clients and potentially the server will be stored. We have chosen /etc/certificates as our default. Execute the following commands as
cd /etc#
mkdir certificates#
chmod 700 certificates
Note that we shut out all access to users other than
rootfor this directory. This is very important.
Next, you need to set up the SSLeay scripts and configuration files to use the certificates stored in this directory. In order to do this, first modify the CA.sh script located at /usr/local/ssl/bin/CA.sh to specify the location of the directory you just created. Find the line that contains the following entry:CATOP=./demoCA
Then change it to:CATOP=/etc/certificates
Next, you need to modify the /usr/local/ssl/lib/ssleay.cnf file to specify the same directory. Find the entry:[ CA_default ] dir = ./demoCA # Where everything is kept
Then change it to:[ CA_default ] dir = /etc/certificates # Where everything is kept
Next, run the certificate authority setup script, CA.sh, in order to create the certificates. Be sure to do this as the same user that you used to prime the random number generator above:/usr/local/ssl/bin/CA.sh -newca mkdir: cannot make directory '/etc/certificates': File exists CA certificate filename (or enter to create)
Press the Enter key to create a certificate for the CA. You should then see:Making CA certificate ... Using configuration from /usr/local/ssl/lib/ssleay.cnf Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key .............................+++++ .....................+++++ writing new private key to /etc/certificates/private/cakey.pem Enter PEM pass phrase:
Enter a new pass phrase for your certificate. You will need to enter it twice correctly before SSLeay will accept it:Enter PEM pass phrase: Verifying password - Enter PEM pass phrase:
Be sure to remember this pass phrase. You will need it to sign the client certificates in the future. Once SSLeay has accepted the pass phrase, it will continue on with a series of questions for each of the fields in the X509 certificate:You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
Fill out the remainder of the fields with information about your organization. For example, our certificate looks like this:Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:
USState or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:
CaliforniaLocality Name (eg, city) []:
SebastopolOrganization Name (eg, company) []:
O'ReillyOrganizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
BooksCommon Name (eg, YOUR name) []:
John DoeEmail Address []:
After that, SSLeay will be configured as a certificate authority and can be used to sign certificates for client machines that will be connecting to the Samba server.
A.3.4 Creating Certificates for Clients
It's simple to create a certificate for a client machine. First, you need to generate a public/private key pair for each entity, create a certificate request file, and then use SSLeay to sign the file as a trusted authority.
For our example client
phoenix, this boils down to three SSLeay commands. The first generates a key pair for the client and places it in the file phoenix.key. The private key will be encrypted, in this case using triple DES. Enter a pass phrase when requested below - you'll need it for the next step:# ssleay genrsa -des3 1024 >phoenix.key 1112 semi-random bytes loaded Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus ........................................+++++ .............+++++ e is 65537 (0x10001) Enter PEM pass phrase: Verifying password - Enter PEM pass phrase:
After that command has completed, type in the following command:#
ssleay req -new -key phoenix.key -out phoenix-csrEnter PEM pass phrase:
Enter the pass phrase for the client certificate you just created (not the certificate authority). At this point, you will need to answer the questionnaire again, this time for the client machine. In addition, you must type in a challenge password and an optional company name - those do not matter here. When the command completes, you will have a certificate request in the file phoenix-csr.
Then, you must sign the certificate request as the trusted certificate authority. Type in the following command:#
ssleay ca -days 1000 -inflies phoenix-csr >phoenix.pem
This command will prompt you to enter the PEM pass phrase of the certificate authority. Be sure that you do not enter the PEM pass phrase of the client certificate that you just created. After entering the correct pass phrase, you should see the following:Check that the request matches the signature Signature ok The Subjects Distinguished Name is as follows: ...
This will be followed by the information that you just entered for the client certificate. If there is an error in the fields, the program will notify you. On the other hand, if everything is fine, SSLeay will confirm that it should sign the certificate and commit it to the database. This adds a record of the certificate to the /etc/certificates/newcerts directory.
The operative files at the end of this exercise are the phoenix.key and phoenix.pem files, which reside in the current directory. These files will be passed off to the client with whom the SSL-enabled Samba server will interact, and will be used by SSL Proxy.
A.3.5 Configuring the Samba Server
The next step is to modify the Samba configuration file to include the following setup options. These options assume that you created the certificates directory for the certificate authority at /etc/certificates :[global] ssl = yes ssl server cert = /etc/certificates/cacert.pem ssl server key = /etc/certificates/private/cakey.pem ssl CA certDir = /etc/certificates
At this point, you will need to kill the Samba daemons and restart them manually:#
nmbd -D#
smbd -DEnter PEM pass phrase:
You will need to enter the PEM pass phrase of the certificate authority to start up the Samba daemons. Note that this may present a problem in terms of starting the program using ordinary means. However, you can get around this using advanced scripting languages, such as Expect or Python.
A.3.6 Testing with smbclient
A good way to test whether Samba is working properly is to use the smbclient program. On the Samba server, enter the following command, substituting the appropriate share and user for a connection:#
smbclient //hydra/data -U tom
You should see several debugging statements followed by a line indicating the negotiated cipher, such as:SSL: negotiated cipher: DES-CBC3-SHA
After that, you can enter your password and connect to the share normally. If this works, you can be sure that Samba is correctly supporting SSL connections. Now, on to the client setup.

Not only is there ZERO quality control in the oh-so-praised native species appreciation project with people selling "unidentified black ants" in plastic bottles, there's actually people KNOWINGLY SELLING INVASIVE ANTS THROUGH THE GAN SYSTEM.
Yes, you can (amongst others) buy red imported fire ants, the worst invasive ant species on the planet, through the GAN project. This gives "Global Nursery" a whole new meaning. And no, it doesn't matter that RIFA is already almost everywhere in Texas, this is a clear violation of GAN rules and obviously nobody at AntsCanada cares about this.
In fact it even is a direct violation if US laws when GAN farmers sell Solenopsis invicta over the borders of the RIFA quarantine zone, which goes straight through the middle of several US states.
Here's an overview of the GAN rules (it's not like it's an entire book or a super complicated legal text, in fact it is pretty straight forwards and almost idiot-proof).
In joining the GAN Project as a GAN farmer I am required to:
1) Raise my ants to the best of my ability, providing the colonies with appropriate care and equipment. New queens are to be raised in the standard test tube setup or other proven method.
2) Inform AntsCanada immediately when a colony I am offering dies or if I have another colony available for sale
3) [Exclusivity] Never sell ants to anyone except through the GAN Project; this also applies to previous GAN Hosts (customers). Any and all ant purchasing transactions must be made through the GAN Project through AntsCanada.com unless express written permission is obtained from AntsCanada.com via email. Any inquiries the GAN Farmers may get personally or online must be directed to AntsCanada.com to make the purchase of the GAN Farmer's colonies.
4) Ensure that the selling of local ants within the GAN FArmer's area is legal
5) Always meet GAN Hosts in a public place with a companion for safety reasons when picking up the colony
6) Provide a current email address for communication, as well as a skype contact, and to let the AntsCanada.com team know if contact information changes
7) Always conduct myself professionally online and in person when working in association with AntsCanada.com, which includes online science or ant-related websites and when meeting GAN Hosts.
8) Make arrangements to meet with GAN Hosts locally
9) Never sell ants that are not native to his/her area
10) Only sell ants with at least 1 worker
So let's see how hard these rules are actually enforced on the GAN store front page.
Well... looks like Mexico doesn't have enough fire ants yet. Also who needs workers.
*9) Never sell ants that are not native to his/her area
*10) Only sell ants with at least 1 worker
Mexico City (1 GAN Farmer)
Species: Solenopsis Invicta
Colony size: Pupae state
Housing: Test tube
Price: $10 USD
Number of colonies available: 20
The US clearly needs more fire ants as well.
And why identify them to the species level, it's not like Solenopsis invicta and Solenopsis molesta are any noticeably different species.
And again, who needs workers when there are eggs.
*9) Never sell ants that are not native to his/her area
*10) Only sell ants with at least 1 worker
Bay Minette (1 GAN Farmer)
Species: Solenopsis invicta
Colony size: Queen
Housing: Test tube
Price: $50 USD
Number of colonies: 15
*9) Never sell ants that are not native to his/her area
Savannah (1 GAN Farmer)
Species: Solenopsis invicta
Colony size: 15-25 workers
Difficulty level/notes: Easy – easy to start with but when the colony size grows they will try and escape and because of their small size they are very good at squeezing into tight places you wouldn't expect they could (like between two pieces of glass). Tip: Seal everything with glue.
Housing: Test tube
Price: $30 USD
Number of colonies available: 1

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Companies in the Funeral Services Industry are often viewed in an unpleasant light, but the products and services they provide are necessary. The morbid nature of the business does not mean that individuals can't profit from investments here.
Members of the industry can loosely be classified under three categories: cemetery owners and operators, funeral homes, and manufacturers of burial and memorial products. Still, it is common for companies to span multiple lines of business, combining, for example, funeral home and cemetery operations.
This is a mature industry. Revenue are determined by the death rate, incremental price increases, product mix, and conditions in the broader economy. Consequently, investors looking for above-average revenue and earnings growth ought to look elsewhere. However, what the industry lacks in growth prospects, it makes up for with stability. Demand for funeral services is inelastic, making the group recession resistant, though not recession proof. Business tends to be consistent, but there is a degree of seasonality in results, with revenues and earnings highest during the winter months, when influenza and pneumonia cases peak. (International operations are not significant.)
Although the Funeral Services Industry is stable, and its long-term prospects are buoyed by the aging baby-boom generation, it still faces challenges. One of the biggest obstacles is the movement away from traditional burials toward cremation. This trend has been going on for years at a slow, but steady, pace. Cremations produce lower revenues and profits than burials.
Funeral home operations are the most diverse subsector of the industry. They act as retailers for burial and memorial products, prepare bodies for cremation or burial, provide space for memorial services, and coordinate various other aspects of the cremation or burial process, depending on the wishes of the family or the deceased.
Revenues fall into two categories, pre-need and at-need. Pre-need revenues are created when funeral service plans are made in advance, while at-need business stems from family members making arrangements after a loved one has passed. Funeral home business is highly dependent on the death rate, although economic factors do come into play. When the economy is strong, pre-need revenue is more plentiful, and consumers are willing to purchase high-end burial and memorial products, which usually carry richer margins than their basic counterparts. In challenging economic periods, revenues are more dependent on the death rate, and operating variables, such as mix and labor costs, have greater influence on margins.
Cemetery operations include sales of interment rights and burial and memorial products, along with grounds maintenance. An interment right gives a customer burial space and perpetual care of that space. As is the case in the funeral home segment, sales here are either pre-need or at-need, with the former showing greater strength during times of economic prosperity. Pre-need sale proceeds are put into merchandise and perpetual-care trusts, and held until services and products are delivered. In the interim, a cemetery operator can collect investment income on the funds.
As well, cemetery revenues are positively correlated with the death rate, which is the dominant factor that drives demand. Companies can push products and services, but there are limits to how much business they can capture. Profitability depends on a variety of factors, such as labor costs and the prices of commodities, e.g., gasoline.
These are the companies that make the burial and memorialization products typically sold through retailers and funeral homes. The offerings include caskets, urns, headstones, etc. Like the rest of the industry, manufacturers' results are dependent on the death rate and the economy, and it is difficult to drive growth. A higher death rate obviously translates into increased sales, and a robust economy typically means that people are willing to spend extra money on ornate offerings, which usually carry higher margins than pedestrian products.
While top-line results are influenced by economic conditions, managers play a greater role in determining bottom-line performance. Sales and the product mix have a significant impact on earnings, but there are other factors. For instance, efficient operations, supported by, say, lean manufacturing techniques, are necessary to support margins. Movements in the commodities markets drive input costs up and down, but managers have sway here, too, given their ability to lock in prices for raw materials over a particular duration.
The Funeral Services Industry is best suited to investors looking for stability and income. Death is one of life's few certainties, so these companies have a steady flow of business, despite a degree of seasonality. However, this is not a growth industry. Companies have no control over the death rate, leaving them with limited options to increase revenues and earnings beyond such methods as incremental price increases, acquisitions, and operating margin expansion.

A stalker who is crazy for the Material Girl was arrested over the weekend for breaking into her London mansion, reports the New York Daily News.
Due to a trip to the United States to attend the funeral of her grandmother, Madonna was not on the premises when Grzegorz Matlok shattered a side window and entered her home.
"Something dreadful has happened here, "a senior police official told London's Sun newspaper. "The security around the world's most famous pop star should be impregnable."
U.S. & World
Eventually, bodyguards for the "Borderline" singer realized that an intruder was in the ten-bedroom house and took him into custody after they discovered him going through her possessions. They turned the 29-year-old Polish immigrant over to the authorities and he was charged with burglary.
The bodyguards told London police that Matlok had been stalking Madonna for some time.

TCs are implemented but haven't been tested. Feel free to report any related bugs!
Okay, Diaspora is now available for people to test whether TCs install correctly. Quite frankly I'm rather surprised we beat Wings of Dawn to be the first TC on Knossos.
This works really well so far! Also got a curious question: Will you consider adding ship models as downloads? (i.e. revamped apollo, anuket, leviathan, etc). Just wondering if that is at all possible

Traditionally pastures have been stocked based on the number of cattle per acre per season. This approach has presented problems in the past because of variation in the cattle's ages and weights. Weights of beef cattle have changed dramatically in the last 15 years because of genetic "improvements" and/or cross breeding such as the Beef Cattle breed known as BEEFALO. Bigger cows tend to wean heavier calves, but bigger cows and calves also consume more forage. Consequently, range/pasture conditions have suffered where cattle numbers or days of grazing per pasture have not been reduced. However, BEEFALO have been studied over the last 30-40 years, and have proven to be the best foragers. Full-blood BEEFALO consist of 37.5% Bison genetics and are extremely winter hardy, have low birth weights, and wean & finish at heavier weights in less time than "traditional" Beef cattle. They also aren't as selective when grazing as other breeds of Beef Cattle. When their done grazing a pasture/paddock, it looks consistently grazed over the entire area. They don't pick and choose forages, they eat everything! As far as forage conversion goes, BEEFALO have consistently proven themselves to be the best converters of forage to meat that the Beef cattle industry has developed. Still in relatively small numbers, herds of BEEFALO are growing due to consumer demand.
The majority of BEEFALO producers are located in Kentucky and the Northeast region of the United States. BEEFALO have lower healthy birth weights, which is perfect for first time heifers. BEEFALO's weaning weights are comparable to the most desirable Angus Breeds on the commercial market today. Beefalo calves finish 2-3 months earlier than "traditional" more common breeds of Angus cattle which is of course the most desirable trait for cattle in any size operation. They are the perfect design of winter hardiness, and grass-fed genetics available today. Our Registered BEEFALO cattle are 37.5% Bison. The balance of their genetics are Red Angus, Hereford, Charolais & Limousine.
They are the most versatile cross-bed Beef cattle available to producers today. We have had no calf mortality since starting our herd and our 26 month old Purebred BEEFALO BULL is defiantly not sterile, which most uneducated folks believe is a characteristic of the BEEFALO Breed. He has produced many heifer calves already this season! We have also never lost a calf. Calf mortality is another common misconception of the breed.
Getting back to stocking rates based on Animal units. The AU equivalent for beef cattle is easily estimated by dividing the average shrunk weight of the class or herd of animals by 1000. Animal unit equivalents for cattle can be based on their average weight for the grazing season or adjusted at monthly intervals. Cows with an average weight of 1200 lb would be equal to 1.2 AU. Our BEEFALO Calves begin foraging when they are about 4 weeks old. By the time our calves are 3 months old they spend as much time grazing as our older heifers & cows. It is generally recommended that the average calf weight should be added to the average cow weight to calculate AU equivalents for pairs when the average age of the calf crop is 3 months.
Yearling cattle with an initial weight of 550 lb and a seasonal gain of 220 lb would be .66 AU (550 + 110)/1000 for the season. Monthly estimates could be calculated by dividing total gain into monthly increments or by using response surface information for seasonal gains in locations similar to your production environment. About 60 to 70 percent of the total summer gain in growing cattle generally occurs in the first half of the summer grazing season. Animal performance in response to a given stocking rate is variable over years because of differences in forage allowance. It must be remembered that cattle graze forage, not acres. Consequently stocking rates often need to be varied from pasture to pasture and from year to year to provide adequate amounts of forage for all livestock.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, senior citizen?
We'll leave that judgment to the masses, but the former California governor turned 65 Monday.
Schwarzenegger achieves Medicare eligibility at a time of multiple transitions in his life. He's moved out of public office and returned to movies, with a vengeance. He's separated from his wife, Maria Shriver. His autobiography, Total Recall, is due out this fall.
U.S. & World
And he's doing even more in terms of working for smarter global policies, including cooperation between the world's region on climate change and energy.
Politically, Schwarzenegger is considered a spent force. He left office highly unpopular with Californians.
And he doesn't seem to have much of a future in California politics, since as a moderate Republican he has no natural home. Democrats dominate the state and he's been a leading internal critic of his own party.
But, for all the evidence one could use to argue that Schwarzenegger is in decline, the following is also true as of this writing. The largest state in the U.S., California, has only one national political figure, and that's Schwarzenegger.
No one has a true national profile or following.
Gov. Jerry Brown could grab that profile, but he's so hunkered down, he doesn't say much to move the national needle.
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein doesn't drive headlines.
And the up-and-coming generation of California politicians has yet to fully emerge, though Gavin Newsom and Antonio Villaraigosa have had their moments of national attention.
Schwarzenegger, even at low ebb, surpasses them all. So the California political question, on this milestone birthday, is whether he's given up politics for good.
Or if, someday soon, he'll be back when he'll be back.
Lead Prop Zero blogger Joe Mathews is California editor at Zocalo Public Square, a fellow at Arizona State University's Center for Social Cohesion, and co-author of California Crackup: How Reform Broke the Golden State and How We Can Fix It (University of California, 2010).

A 24-year-old Dodger fan whose dad works as a security guard at the stadium and who was fatally stabbed after a Dodgers-Giants baseball game in San Francisco was there to celebrate his father's birthday, his family said.
The victim's father was working at Dodgers Stadium the night in 2011 Giants fan Bryan Stowe when was brutally beaten by LA fans. His family said he's stunned that same violence has visited his family.
Jonathan Denver, a plumber's apprentice, traveled to San Francisco from Fort Bragg, Calif., for the Dodgers-Giants game at AT&T Park Wednesday night. Authorities said the fatal stabbing occurred during a rivalry-fueled fight that broke out near the stadium.
"I wish I could tell you how this happened, why this happened. I have no clue why anyone would do this to any family," said Janet Alvarado, the victim's aunt.
Denver's aunt and grandfather spoke to NBC4 Thursday evening from their home in Covina, where they were still trying to make sense of it all.
"It was senseless, completely senseless because he wouldn't hurt anyone. He was a gentle sweet boy. He didn't deserve this," Alvarado said.
Denver grew up a Dodger fan in Southern California and remained one even after moving north several years ago, his aunt said.
"It never dawned on us to worry or be frightened for them," she said.
Denver's father, Robert Preece Jr., works at Dodger stadium and was there the night Giant's fan Bryan Stowe was severely beaten by Dodger fans in March 2011, his family said.
The victim's grandfather says his son was stunned at the violence then and can't believe the long-standing rivalry has now taken the life of his own son.
San Francisco police announced Thursday evening an arrest had been made in the case. Michael Montgomery, 21, of Lodi, has been charged with homicide.

A compelling look at the link between children's artwork and literacy development, this is an easy-to-read, indispensable primer for parents and educators alike. By providing a range of art experiences and alternative ways to teach children critical thinking and visual perception skills, the authors paint a vivid picture of the role that the visual arts play in early childhood development: "It is clear that a pedagogical shift must take place in our homes and schools if we are to meet the literacy needs of today's young learners. This requires thinking 'out of the box' and coming up with new ways to deal with an old problem."
The Impact of Early Art Experiences on Literacy Development lays the foundation for rethinking the way that we engage young children in early literacy learning. Includes over 60 step-by-step art activities designed to enhance early literacy.
122 pgs. (2007) ISBN 978-1-890160-37-1
"The book's timely recognition of multiple definitions of literacy, including the contemporary importance of visual and digital literacies… recognizes both art making and responding to works of art as ways to BUILD THE LANGUAGE SKILLS THAT ALLOW WRITING AND READING TO EMERGE NATURALLY FROM CHILDREN'S EARLIEST MEANS OF SUSTAINED COMMUNICATION…."

HIV-infected children in Uganda
200 mg oral tablet taken daily for 3 days under direct supervision at study clinic
Other Name: Camoquin
Drug: Artesunate
50 mg oral tablet taken daily for 3 days under direct supervision at study clinic
Other Name: Arsumax
Detailed Description:
HIV and malaria are two of the most important infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa. By
2000, over 25 million children and adults were living with HIV/AIDS, and 16 million people
had died of the disease. Malaria is also of great importance in Africa, where over 90% of the
500 million annual cases and 2.7 million annual deaths occur primarily in children under the
age of 5. Any interaction between these two diseases is of tremendous public health
importance; however, data in this area, especially information on the relevance of HIV and
malaria coinfection, are limited. Little is known about HIV infection's effects on
antimalarial therapy, the effects of anti-HIV treatment on malaria incidence and treatment
outcomes, and the effect of malaria on HIV disease progression. This study will examine HIV
infected children in Uganda and evaluate these relationships between HIV and malaria.
This study will last 4 years. All participants will receive TMP/SMX as prophylaxis for malaria throughout this study. Children will be treated for all episodes of uncomplicated malaria with amodiaquine and artesunate; this treatment for malaria will be provided. Antiretroviral treatment for HIV, if deemed necessary by the study physician, will not be provided through this study. In the case of missed scheduled visits at the clinic, children and their parents or guardians will be visited at home by study staff, who will then bring the children and their parents and guardians to the clinic for their appointments.
Parents or guardians will be asked to bring children to the study clinic for all medical care. Unless instructed otherwise, the study clinic should be the only place where children in this study receive care and medications for the duration of the study. At each study visit for a new illness, children who have a temperature of 38 C (100.4 F) or greater, report having a fever in the 24 hours prior to the visit, or have suspected malaria will have their blood collected to check for malaria. If the blood is negative for malaria, the child will be treated with standard of care for the non-malaria illness in the Mulago Hospital complex.
If the blood is positive for malaria, the child will be classified as having either uncomplicated or complicated malaria. In cases of uncomplicated malaria, children will undergo medical history, a physical exam, and additional blood collection on the day of diagnosis (Day 0). Doses of amodiaquine and artesunate will be given once a day for 3 days in the study clinic by a study nurse, who will directly observe the child taking the medication. Study visits associated with uncomplicated malaria will occur on Days 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 28, and any other day when the child feels ill; a physical exam and blood collection to check for malaria will occur at all visits. In cases of complicated malaria, children will be treated with quinine and will be referred to the Acute Care Unit of the Mulago Hospital complex.
Regardless of health during the course of the study, children will need to return to the clinic every 30 days to undergo a physical exam and blood collection to check for malaria. If malaria is found, children will undergo the 14-day standardized follow-up period as described above. At least every 3 months, additional blood collection will occur to determine HIV viral load, liver and kidney function, and immune parameters.
As of 07/01/08, all study participants with malaria will receive standard of care treatment through the Pediatric Infectious Disease Clinic. No treatment will be provided by the study.

Catherine the Duchess of York is finding out the hard way that being pregnant can be, shall we say, less than romantic. Between the tenderness in areas that never hurt before and morning, noon and night sickness that for some results in dehydration so severe it can only be helped with a trip to the hospital and an IV; pregnancy can be a royal (no pun intended) pain for any female. Does it make anyone else feel better to know that nausea doesn't give royalty a skate? Not that I would wish HG (Severe Morning Sickness Hyperemesis gravidarum) on anybody. If you have ever suffered from morning sickness; then you know it makes you wonder why those with deep pockets don't go the surrogacy route. Oh well, kudos to them for doing things the old-fashioned way!
Did You Glow When You Were PregnantThe only "glow" that I could lay claim to especially in the first three months that I was pregnant was the red-faced look that came from spending hours at a time with my head hanging over the toilet. I may have also been a tiny bit flushed when my blood pressure shot up from eating too much salt.
I would like to know if somebody out there really experienced the glowing look that people attribute to being pregnant. And if you did; please tell us how you managed it!
Word is that paying close attention to your diet, meditation schedule and exercise regimen will help you to get your "glow" on but since I did good to monitor my caloric intake and nutrition let alone having time for yoga; you can't prove it by me.
Meanwhile, I'm sending up prayers not just for Kate but for all women who are finding out the hard way that those precious babies don't always come easy. I wouldn't have traded the moment I first felt that flutter of life for anything in the world…but glowing wasn't in my wheelhouse.

Be patient, Bay Area: The historic flyover of the space shuttle Endeavour on Friday morning is now set for an hour later than originally planned, so be prepared to wait if you skip out of work or school to catch a glimpse.
The heavily anticipated show is now scheduled to reach the East Bay sometime after 9:30 a.m. before it soars over the Golden Gate Bridge, then turns south toward down the Peninsula over Moffett Field and heads to its new retirement home in a Los Angeles museum, NASA said. Still, even that's ambitious: SFO officials say there is a "strong rumor" that the flight will be delayed about an hour more.
It is set to take off from Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California at 8:15 a.m., heading first to Sacramento and then the Bay Area.
The FAA and NASA are hoping that by starting the 4½-hour flight later than planned, the fog will be gone by the time the Endeavour reaches the Bay Area on the back of a 747 aircraft, at times dipping as low as 1,500 feet.
The National Weather Service is forecasting partly cloudy conditions at Moffett Field on Friday morning, and it could be even cloudier near the Golden Gate Bridge. It should be a typical late-summer day in terms of temperature. The flight was already delayed a day because of weather.

Special Guests
Congressman Dennis Kucinich has been in Congress for 18 years working as a tireless advocate for peace and for worker rights, civil rights and human rights. He has brought a strong progressive voice to the national scene through his service in Congress and campaigns for public office, raising the visibility of real alternatives to an economy and politics dominated by giant corporations and the military-industrial complex. Congressman Kucinich has written and co-sponsored legislation to create a national health care system, preserve Social Security, lower the costs of prescription drugs, provide economic development through infrastructure improvements, abolish the death penalty, provide universal prekindergarten to all 3, 4, and 5 year olds, create a Department of Peace, regulate genetically engineered foods, repeal the USA PATRIOT Act, and provide tax relief to working class families. He also has served as UN representative for Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament. This will be his first speaking engagement after leaving Congress
Daniel Ellsberg is best known for having worked on the top secret study of U.S. Decision-making in Vietnam , known as the Pentagon Papers, and for releasing them to the public. His trial, on twelve felony counts posing a possible sentence of 115 years was dismissed in 1973 on grounds of governmental misconduct against him, which led to the convictions of several White House aides and figured in the impeachment proceedings against President Nixon. Less well known is his work for the Rand Corporation and as a consultant to the Defense Department and the White House, specializing in problems of the command and control of nuclear weapons, nuclear war plans, and crisis decision-making. Since the end of the Vietnam War, Ellsberg has been a lecturer, writer and activist of the nuclear era, wrongful U.S. interventions and the urgent need for patriotic whistleblowing. In December 2006 he was awarded the 2006 Right Livelihood Award, known as the "Alternative Nobel Prize," in Stockholm, Sweden, "…for putting peace and truth first, at considerable personal risk, and dedicating his life to inspiring others to follow his example." He is the author of three books: Papers on the War (1971), Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers (2002), and Risk, Ambiguity and Decision (2001), and is at work on an account of his experience in the world of nuclear weapons and war planning.
Congresswoman Barbara Lee is a forceful and progressive voice in Congress, dedicated to social and economic justice, international peace, and civil and human rights. First elected in 1998 to represent California's 9th Congressional District, the Democratic lawmaker has established a reputation for principled and independent stands, unafraid to take on the tough issues and speak her mind for her constituents, for a more just America, and for a safer world. In 2001, Lee was the only vote in Congress against the war, just days after 9/11. An early and outspoken opponent of the Iraq War, the congresswoman repeatedly proposed legislation seeking early U.S. troop withdrawal. In 2007, she successfully blocked funds from being used to establish permanent military bases in Iraq. Her 2008 amendment requiring that any U.S. agreement to defend Iraq be expressly authorized by Congress or be included in a Senate approved treaty was stripped from a defense bill under the threat of a veto by President Bush.
Rose Aguilar is the host of KALW's Your Call and author of the book Red Highways: A Journey into the Heartland. In addition to hosting Your Call, Rose provides a weekly commentary about undercover activism for KPFK's Uprising, and writes about politics and social issues for Truthout and Al Jazeera English. Before joining KALW, Rose was a reporter and weekend host for CNET Radio where she covered technology's impact on society.
Jackie Cabasso in 1984, as a consequence of her first arrest and trial for protesting nuclear weapons development at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab, became Executive Director of the Oakland-based Western States Legal Foundation, where in addition to organizing, speaking, and writing, she still designs T-shirts and fliers. Committed to nonviolence and international law, Jackie has been working for nuclear disarmament, peace and environmental sustainability at the local, national and international levels for more than 30 years. In 1995 she was a "founding mother" of the Abolition 2000 Global Network to Eliminate Nuclear Weapons. She currently serves on the Steering Committee of United for Peace and Justice and as North American Coordinator of Mayors for Peace. She was the 2008 recipient of the International Peace Bureau's Sean MacBride Peace Award.

WSLF, an Oakland-based non-profit, public interest organization founded in 1982, seeks to abolish nuclear weapons as an essential step in making possible a more secure, just, and environmentally sustainable word. Originally founded to provide legal assistance to peaceful protesters at California's Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant (hence, our name), WSLF's program has evolved to encompass a broad range of research, advocacy and organizing. Grounded in commitments to nonviolence and international law, WSLF provides information, analysis and advocacy that is professional in quality and rooted in the values of the social movements we serve. In our work with local, national and international networks and coalitions, WSLF has increasingly sought to link nuclear disarmament with global and domestic issues of peace, justice and sustainability. Jackie Cabasso, our Executive Director, a recipient of the International Peace Bureau's Sean MacBride Peace Prize, and Andy Lichterman, our Senior Research Analyst, have been working tirelessly for half their lives organizing and speaking out for nuclear disarmament and peace

Beat the Streak Report: Monday, August 15
Annnnd down goes Dan Uggla. The Braves second baseman saw his 33-game hitting streak go up in smoke after an 0-for-3 effort against Matt Garza, Darwin Barney and the rest of the Cubs on Sunday afternoon.

GL to all
Ichiro and Granderson take people down on your list.
Ackley and Granderson take down two people were at 20.
Helton and Spilboroghs didnt play so they dont move.
ALL IN ALL in the 20 games or more. only two people lost streaks
57 people over 20 games….. rundown looks like this:
Braun 7, Cano 6, VMartinez 5, Hamilton 5, Cabrera 4 Young 5, Pujols 3, Wright 3, Holliday, Castro, Spilborghs, and Fielder at 2
So a ground rule double is not an extra base hit? Hmmmm. Really?
Lol. If you read the comments on that prop, there's alot of pi$$ed off ppl. I think the ruling on a GRD is single than awarded a 2nd base. B/c maybe the fielder could've made a play at second if the ball doesn't bounce out. I dunno, but I'm not complaining as I had No there.
I didn't pick that prop so it matters not to me.
I have a streak of four, but it's listed as two on every BTS page. Is anybody else seeing a glitch like this?

Hayden Panettiere has red hair now. You can't see it very well as she had it pulled back at the premiere of Temple Grandin in New York last night but it's there, it's dark, and she looks washed out. The dress doesn't help either. Not the best choice, right? Lolita is only 20, was easily one of the youngest, if not the youngest, on the carpet. She totally fit in with all the middle aged folks. And this serves her well. As you know, Lo likes 'em older. Milo was much older, and the latest, a boxer called Wladimir Klitschko, with whom she spent New Year's in Miami, holed up for weeks at their hotel, is 33. He's also 6 ft 6 to her 5 ft 1. I've always wondered how that works. This is not perverted.
Anyway, about Temple Grandin, the HBO biopic about the autism activist premieres on February 6. Have you read Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time? Chances are you have. I finished that book and ended up researching Asperger Syndrome some more and then at a friend's recommendation read Temple Grandin's Thinking in Pictures: and Other Reports from My Life with Autism. Since I love dogs, of course I had to read her Animals Make Us Human last year, and her latest Making Animals Happy is due out soon…
She's amazing. And I cannot wait to see this movie. HBO doesn't usually f-ck up their movies. By the looks of it, Claire Danes is contending for an Emmy and a Globe and a SAG next year. The trailer is below. But if you haven't already, I also recommend the BBC doc on Grandin, The Woman Who Thinks Like a Cow. SO GOOD.

1 / 35
|Since the last two trips resulted in having exhibitions in Hamburg and Malmö, there was some pressure to do the same trick in 2010. This was hard since the last two exhibitions just happened, without us even looking for it. In that sence it wasnt really a surprise that actually putting effort into finding a gallery resulted in getting nothing in both Paris and Zürich. So when we arrived in Hamburg we decided to try something different and organized a small one day exhibition in a clothing store called Human Empire. We made some posters for the show that we put up in the city and made a small copyzine with pictures we made during the trip. During the exhibtion we made drawings for six hours straight and had a small vernissage after completing eighteen drawings. Having just a few days to prepare was a beautiful way to work, and it was good to see how much we could produce (and sell) in such a short amount of time.

CLAYTON — Rohan Dennis of Australia bolted to the front within the final 300 yards to win the hot and hilly third stage and reduce Bradley Wiggins' race lead at the Tour of California on Tuesday.
Dennis, 23, who began the stage in second with a 44-second deficit to Wiggins, completed the 108.5-mile road race to Mount Diablo in 4 hours, 56 minutes and 2 seconds.
Wiggins of Britain, who assumed the race lead with his dominating Stage 2 time trial win in Folsom, finished ninth in the stage, trailing the leader by 20 seconds.
Wiggins, the 2012 Tour de France winner who's competing in the event for the first time since 2008, leads Dennis by 24 seconds with five stages left.
"This is the first time I have ridden in this type of heat in almost two years," said Wiggins, who faltered in the waning meters. "It takes an adjustment. Actually, I am a bit knackered from it."
Tiago Machado of Portugal was second in Stage 3, trailing Dennis by 6 seconds.
American Lawson Craddock was third, another 2 seconds back, in the stage that ended with a 4½-mile climb with as much as a 17 percent grade. Temperatures reached into the mid-90s.
Machado is third overall, trailing by 1 minute and 5 seconds.
Dennis, 23, came into prominence last fall when he claimed the inaugural Tour of Alberta.
The heat took its toll, with the original field of 128 now at 114 with 11 riders eliminated by time and two others not finishing. One rider didn't start the stage.
Mark Cavendish of Britain, who assumed the race lead after winning Stage 1, finished last in the stage nearly 21 minutes behind.
Wiggins went to the front of the lead group of 23 riders with about 2½ miles left.
"My mission was to be in a position to limit any losses and not explode," Wiggins said. "It is why I was riding tempo making sure no one got up the road. We did this climb a little over a week ago. I knew how it kicked up the last 300 meters. It was a tough climb. Every day is a tough day when you're in yellow."
Several riders tried short, but unsustained attacks before Dennis' final move.
Eight riders escaped from the 127-rider field early in the stage. The group crested Mt. Hamilton together after 21 miles and built more than a six-minute margin. The group was reduced to seven as its cushion was 4:20 with 30 miles left. With 20 miles left, the gap was 3:20.
With five miles left and the steepest part of the day reaming, only three riders remained in front and their lead was about one minute. The leaders were absorbed a few minutes later before the series of short solo bursts.
The eight-day race continues Wednesday with the flat 102.6-mile Monterey to Cambria road race. The estimated 720-mile event continues through Sunday in Thousand Oaks.

- Nonstick vegetable oil spray
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 2 3/4 to 3-pound kabocha squash, halved crosswise, seeded
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1 cup (or more) low-salt chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
Recipe Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil inside each kabocha squash half and brush to coat. Place squash halves, cut side down, on prepared baking sheet. Roast until squash is very tender when pierced with knife, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool slightly. Scoop out squash flesh into bowl and mash until almost smooth.
Melt butter in skillet over medium-high heat until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and thyme and stir 1 minute. Add butter mixture and 1 cup broth to squash and mash until smooth. Season generously with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Add more broth if desired and rewarm in microwave before continuing.)
Stir 2 tablespoons parsley into squash. Sprinkle squash with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and serve.
