An FBI-backed organisation has warned computer users to ignore claims that the Feds are scouring Facebook for terrorists.
A new batch of junk mail messages claims the FBI is on the hunt for Jihadist fans of the social networking site.
The claims are a ruse to try and persuade prospective marks to click a link that promises more information, while actually delivering malware designed to add more Windows drones to the Storm worm botnet.
Virus writers often use the promise of celebrity skin or fake news items, the more sensationalist the better, to dupe the credulous into visiting booby-trapped websites. These social engineering efforts are almost invariably woefully lame, but the latest attack has a rare hint of plausibility and invention. After all, Western anti-terrorism agents have reportedly been keeping tabs of insurgents in Sadville. From there its only a short step to think that would-be suicide bombers may have set up shop on Facebook.
Of course, anyone can see that Washington's spooks have much more important things to do than trawl the web looking for terrorists, and the Feds' assurances will surely put most people's minds at rest. But some gullible types find the idea semi-plausible.
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), a joint partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), has taken the unusual step of warning of the latest Storm front. Trend Micro has a technical analysis of the attack, complete with screenshots of sample messages, here. ®

I don't have words to describe this one..
Parth Maniar,
*Thank you GOD*
Greater the Difficulty, SWEETER the Victory.
Believe in yourself.
Wow... just... wow.
Kind of makes you want to switch to a less targeted OS?
\"Those of us that had been up all night were in no mood for coffee and donuts, we wanted strong drink.\"
Lol you mean like DOS? I'm starting to wonder if they were really just tired of fixing it and said switch to Windows now.
Man....17 years of the same thing sitting there ready to be exploited, and NO ONE fixed it. I wonder if they're going to change those ads about how they take care of problems better than Linux does now. (Remember? With Linux you're waiting on a kid in China to fix your exploit, with Windows, we fix them!"....)....
I don't think I've ever heard of a bug going for this long ever. Anyone know if this is a record?
Wow. Good job Microsoft.
And the ad campaign about "some kid in China" is hysterical. As if Linux is still primarily supported by random freelance coders. They are totally exploiting that misnomer.
Maybe we should go easy on them. After all, Microsoft bloatware is huge and hard to fully patch.
But then again, 17 years?! Wow.
Wasn't it the big Steve who said that originally? The part about "Well yea Linux has customers but do you really want to have to tell your boss the system will be patched once some 12 year old in China is done writing it?" ... I can't remember the exact quote but it was along those lines about a kid in China being the one writing your patches.
I think he was pissed off because people have seen a problem in Linux where there was an exploit possible, and within like 4 hours, there was a patch. The same problem popped up on a few other OSs and it took like a month to get one.
Kind of makes you want to switch to a less targeted OS?
Not really..................you need an authenticated login and physical access from what I can see?
Hell! I am looking at a CD on my desk that will reset the admin password from bootup................no login required.
I am still of the opinion that if someone has unrestricted physical access you are as good as owned.
Anyway, it took 17 years to find it..............hardly earth shattering?
Since it took me lot of time to find words to describe this one (abuse basically). I've decided to switch to Linux. OpenSuse, buddy i love you..
1. I don't believe in security through obscurity as a general principle.
2. I will certainly stay where the money is (Microsoft).
3. What makes you think that Linux is any better?..............if I have physical access and a password you are owned.
Do you still run 16bit applications?...............I do, and have Windows 3.11, 98, 98SE and ME boxes for that. They are mostly games that won't work in compatibility mode anyway, because they want to directly access the hardware and do other things that 2000, XP, Vista and 7 don't allow.
This is the fix:
Click Start, click Run, type gpedit.msc in the Open box, and then click OK.
This opens the Group Policy console.
Expand the Administrative Templates folder, and then click Windows Components.
Click the Application Compatibility folder.
In the details pane, double click the Prevent access to 16-bit applications policy setting. By default, this is set to Not Configured.
Change the policy setting to Enabled, and then click OK.
Impact of Workaround: Users will not be able to run 16-bit applications.
REMEMBER: You have to make the change in both User and Computer settings. If it isn't turned off in Computer settings it will be allowed because they override the User settings
No big deal as far as I am concerned.
Nihil how dare you come in defense of Microsoft.. I write this from my Opensuse using Opera (and after uninstalling Firefox)..

The thing about linux is these distros either lie or spend so much time repackaging stuff they have no idea whats-what themselves. They'll sit there and call something a "local denial of service flaw" for five years intil someone changes a single byte in the return address. People know better than that... you don't just make something seg fault at ring-0.
Meh... people don't want to admit there are more kernal flaws out there than the number of waves in the pacific ocean.

Misrach and Friedlander in Cantor show
Timing could hardly be better for "Revisiting the South: Richard Misrach's Cancer Alley" and "Lee Friedlander: The Cray Photographs," concurrent exhibitions just opened at Stanford's Cantor Arts Center.
The shows complement each other not merely because they examine the human background to industry. Friedlander's series heightens our sense of history's acceleration by technology, intensifying the warning implicit in Misrach's work that the changes we fear most may come sooner than we can imagine.
The Environmental Protection Agency reported this week that its survey of about 2,000 sites found more than half of the nation's rivers and streams unfit to support aquatic life adequately. Just try not thinking of this when you look at a picture such as Misrach's "Swamp and Pipeline, Geismar, Louisiana" (1998/2012).
Most of us may not know the look of a thriving swamp from that of an imperiled one, but the rusted pipe that cuts through Misrach's picture like a man-made horizon delivers to the eye only forebodings of harm.
26,000 miles of pipe
In a label text, Misrach notes that since the 1930s the oil industry has laced this ecologically sensitive area with an estimated 26,000 miles of pipe, upping exponentially the risk insinuated in the glimpse that his picture provides.
Today that stretch of relatively small-bore pipe - shot in 1998 - also serves to symbolize our paltry imagination of the massive Keystone XL pipeline proposed to bring some of the world's dirtiest crude oil, extracted from Alberta's vast tar sands, across multiple states to refineries on the Gulf of Mexico.
The petrochemical industries on both sides of the border have already invested heavily in the Keystone XL project. It awaits a final decision by President Obama, whose outcome environmental activists have dreaded with new fervor since release of a State Department draft report downplaying the pipeline's ecological threat. (The pipeline requires presidential, not congressional, approval because it would cross a national border.)
In 1998, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta commissioned Misrach to contribute to its "Picturing the South." He chose to shoot the landscape between Baton Rouge and New Orleans known by the locals as "Cancer Alley" because of the high incidence of illness, frequently fatal, attributed to onslaughts of industrial pollution.
The Cantor Center exhibition includes a cluster of color contact prints made from the 1998 negatives, but it owes its impact to the very large inkjet prints made from digital scans of the negatives in 2012. We can hardly help but get lost in images at this scale.
They and the timing of the exhibition confront us with the contradiction that underlies much ecological controversy: We want and depend on a material culture that runs on oil and petroleum by-products and we want a livable planet for all the generations we know and can imagine.
Refinery as cityscape
We cannot have both, and the profit system has long cultivated a myopic, potentially suicidal vision of future priorities.
Pictures such as "View of Exxon Refinery, State Capitol, Baton Rouge, Louisiana" (1998/2012) and "Playground and Shell Refinery. Norco, Louisiana" (1998/2012) show us refineries turned into cityscapes. A few wall labels affirm the toxic stink that the eye intuits in the thick air befogging many of Misrach's images.
The very long view of "Norco Cumulus Cloud, Shell Oil Refinery, Norco, Louisiana" (1998/2012) captures a refinery making its own weather, "created," Misrach writes, "by the commingling of moisture and volatile hydrocarbons that originate in the process of refining gasoline, jet fuel, cooking oil, and other products."
Aperture has issued a massive book, "Petrochemical America" (216 pages; $80), that combines Misrach's photographs with Kate Orff's text and graphics explaining thoroughly the natural and industrial history of Cancer Alley and environs. It serves the exhibition as a catalog, but is even more of a confrontation than Misrach's mammoth prints.
Bemused objectivity
The Friedlander exhibition springs from a 1986 commission. Cray Research Inc., then the world's leading producer of supercomputers, asked the photographer to document its key workplace in Chippewa Falls, Wis. What were they thinking? That he was famous enough to make them look good?
Friedlander approached the project with his characteristic air of bemused, sidelong objectivity. The 79 pictures he produced record him stealing into town through its rural outskirts, pausing to dwell on favorite subjects such as trees, signage, building facades - with more than a nod to Walker Evans (1903-75) - before entering the Cray facility.
There he found people working with glum dedication in an otherwise lifeless environment, assembling massive computer apparatus whose power stands dwarfed today by everyday consumer electronics.
Humor, inadvertent but not unkind, winks from some pictures, such as the one in which the hair of two women, leaning into their work, appears as entangled as the wires they bundle together.
Revisiting the South: Richard Misrach's Cancer Alley: Photographs; Lee Friedlander: The Cray Photographs. Through June 16. Cantor Arts Center, Stanford University, Stanford. (650) 723-4177. www.museum.stanford.edu.

We're so excited about Pixar's first princess movie (not including Bug's Life which was more of an ant monarchy). A whole slew of new Brave concept art and character sculptures take us behind the scenes, and into the mystical Highlands of Scotland.
All of these images came from Mouse Steps who spied this art at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We're really loving the giant bloody bear altercation, along with the various family crests. Smashing.

"PRIMERGY RX600 servers are high-performance systems that do their job very well. Thanks to the excellent support by the Fujitsu experts, our migration from a Solaris environment to x86 servers, running on SUSE Linux couldn't have gone more smoothly. Fujitsu also impressed us with their SAP expertise"
Norbert Poesch, Head of IT Infrastructure Management, EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG
EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG, is one of the largest energy companies in Germany and Europe. EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG generates, trades in, transports and sells energy, and operates in the fields of electricity and gas as well as energy and environmental services. In addition to the use of conventional energies, the increase in energy efficiency and expansion of renewable energies play an important role. EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG's home market is Baden-Württemberg and Germany. The company is headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany.
EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG had originally been running its 350 SAP instances on Solaris platforms. Prompted by a reinvestment project, however, the Group had to decide whether it wanted to continue to use SPARC servers or to migrate to x86 systems. The decision was finally taken to opt for the highly virtualized Intel standard servers. The energy company's IT department soon realized that to implement a migration project of this magnitude as quickly and efficiently as possible, it needed an expert solution partner on board.

How we got started:
No Limit Poker Tables was founded in March of 2005 when the poker boom really started to take off. We play poker too and after getting tired of playing on kitchen and dining room tables we set out to purchase a poker table for our weekly games. After shopping around town at the local billiard stores we became frustrated because all they had to offer were cheaply made overpriced tables or poker tables that ranged from $3,000-$10,000. That is when we decided to build our own poker table. We began to design what we thought was the perfect table. After about 2 weeks the table was complete. We held some large tournaments and we received so many complements on the quality and design we decided to build more tables and market them locally. As the demand grew we decided it was time to go into business. In our first two years we have made over 100 one of kind poker tables. Since the first table built in my basement we have moved our location three times to bigger and better locations to serve our customers better.
About our products:
We offer many different custom poker table options to match your decor. We can build your table any size you would like. We have played on poker tables of all sizes and can recommend the right size table for your game. When you order from us you will receive a one of a kind custom poker table. No Limit Poker Tables was established in March 2005. Since then we have built over 100 Custom pieces of furniture. We only carry products that meet our high standards of quality. We do offer other economical game tables that we do not manufacture. They have been put to the test and are a good second choice to a custom table.
Why we are better than the competition?
One question we are often asked is why do your tables cost more than this guy?
Good Question!
There are a lot of factors that go into building your custom table from the quality of the materials used to the construction and finishing techniques. Many companies use short cuts and purchase cheap materials to be able to offer lower prices and get your business. We will not sacrifice the quality of our products to be able to offer lower prices.
We know there are many other companies out there offering custom tables. We feel that we are the best for the quality of our products, customer service and price. Click here for the FAQ about our tables are the best deal for your money. We will answer any questions you may have about what goes into your table. Many companies hide what goes into there tables because they often cut costs by using cheep lumber or make there tables to thin. Our tables are 1 1/2 " thick. They are built with quality lumber that will withstand the test of time.

The Manipulation Of The Gold MarketSubmitted by Bill Murphy on Wed, 2005-11-16 08:00. Section: Essays
The key to understanding the manipulation of the gold market, this enormous scandal and fraud, is that it can be compared to a murder trial. In the United States a murderer can be put to death if he is found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

A Call to Arms - Ed SteerSubmitted by Administrator on Sat, 2005-03-12 08:00. Section: Essays
"Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences."

A Monthly Review Of Gold From Frank VenerosoSubmitted by cpowell on Mon, 2005-03-07 08:00. Section: Essays
- Gold and Gold Equities: The near term is uncertain. The near-term path of the dollar is unclear. The world is probably decelerating towards disinflation. This could be a negative.
- The ability of the gold futures market to absorb large spec liquidation on a small price break is long term bullish. Perhaps, the official sector is conducting an orderly retreat.
- As opposed to our very positive supply/demand framework, the "official" gold supply/demand framework is not especially constructive. It now diverges so much from historical trends and abundant anecdotal information, that it has become discredited.

On Gold Bugs and Net Shorts
By Dennis Gartman
The Gartman Letter
Tuesday, September 14, 2004
The gold bugs are a strange lot, really. They see conspiracies everywhere and at all times. If the government is not conspiring against the public, then business is conspiring against the government, or business AND the government are conspiring against the public, and, if not that, then all three are conspiring against ghostly, foreign forces that are set to wage some sort of economic war against the country.

Vancouver — Jean-Paul Lemieux and Emily Carr set the standard at a $14.7 million Heffel auction of Canadian art Thursday at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
Lemieux's 1973 painting La plage americaine sold for $1.813 million in an afternoon sale of post-war and contemporary art. Carr's 1930 oil Eagle Totem was the high point of the evening auction of Fine Canadian Art, selling for $1.638 million.
Both doubled their high estimate, and sold to determined telephone bidders.
The winning bidder for the Lemieux painting startled the audience by bidding $800,000 when the previous bid was $550,000. They then dueled with another telephone bidder before taking the painting with a hammer price of $1.55 million.
After Heffel's 17 percent commission is added, the sale price was $1.813 million, the second highest value for a Lemieux painting at auction. (All prices from now include commission.)
"It's not very often that someone will call out a huge increment jump," noted David Heffel, who runs the auction with his brother Robert.
'[But] he knew what he was doing. The buyers and the bidders know the market better than anyone, because they're the ones putting the paddles up. I think at $800,000, he thought it was good value. And in retrospect, it was."
Carr's iconic image Eagle Totem also inspired spirited bidding, with a hammer price of $1.4 million and $1.638 million after commission.
"It was very exciting," said Robert Heffel.
"We were very pleased. I was very happy for the consigner, I think they did extremely well. But at the same time, the purchaser also got the prize, so everybody's happy."
It was the sixth biggest sale of Canadian art in history. The Lawren Harris sketch Lake Superior sold for $526,000, as did J.E.H. Macdonald's Early Autumn, Montreal River, Algoma.
A.Y. Jackson's Morning, Great Bear Lake went for $409,500, and another Jackson, Encampment, Eastern Arctic, sold for $351,000. Harris's early masterpiece Building The Ice House, Hamilton, went for $380,250, as did a Paul-Emile Borduas abstract, Jeunesse, and another Lemieux painting, Le mois du juin.
There were some surprises. Edwin Holgate's luminous painting Great Bug Pond, Cache River drew a hammer price of $550,000, but that didn't meet its reserve and it was withdrawn.
A landmark Emily Carr watercolour from 1908, War Canoes, Alert Bay, sold for $351,000. But many people thought it would go much higher, including the Heffels.
"We had higher hopes for the War Canoes watercolour, considering it's a very important piece," said Robert Heffel. "The purchaser got a real prize."
E.J. Hughes paintings did well, with Englewood going for $292.500 and The Nanaimo Bastion selling for $257,400. Both were painted in 1951. A 1969 Hughes painting, Receding Tide, Departure Bay, sold for $210,600.
It was a good night for British Columbia artists. The Heffels kicked off the auction with B.C. Binning's small but delightful Two Ships Standing Off, with doubled its high estimate at $64,350. Several Gordon Smith paintings also sold in the $40,000 to $60,000 range.
Several of the top items in the sale came from one consigner.
"We were lucky we got this one major estate from Quebec,"said David Heffel.
"Both the Lemieux [paintings] were a part of it, as well as the Borduas, which did really well. The nucleus of our great sales the last few years have been built on foundations of estate consignments that have great paintings fresh to the market, often bought almost directly from the artist."
Records were set for Christopher Pratt's Landing (which sold for $198,900) and Daphne Odjig's Awakening of Spring ($70,200).

And here are the end results. It takes a little bit of time to sew all those seams, but I basically finished this dress in one evening. My daughter wore it to church on Sunday and played in it all day. Perfect for a warm, sunny spring day. The fabric is so soft and durable – I also love the thought that because it's a blend, I won't need to iron it. I will probably make more. Especially considering the fact that the whole dress (elastic thread included) cost less than $6. Nice.

Curian never ceases to stop trying to solve problems that advisors face, and managing client expectations is a big focus.
"One of the things I've found is that advisors believe investors only focus on performance and returns," Keith Johnson, vice president of practice management at Denver-based managed account provider Curian Capital, says. "We know from behavioral finance that's not always the case. The level of service, combined with the level of performance is what drives expectations."
And that, he adds, is "where advisors are missing the boat."
Behavioral finance is something he "loves," he says, because it tells us so much about how investors form expectations. The tenets of behavioral finance that are particularity relevant in forming clients' often-mistaken expectations are:
1) Anchoring — Investors set arbitrary reasons for continuing to hold a stock, even as the price tanks. "They'll hold onto X, even if there is no good reason to hold onto X," Johnson explains.
2) Too many choices, too many voices — With choices, investors and advisors have to have a clear direction of what to do. With voices, the listen to friends, co-workers, relatives and of course the media, the latter of which have an outsize influence on decision-making. "Everyone seems to have an uncle in the business," he quips.
3) Runaway expectations — Clients tend to overemphasize recent trends, which often are not the best way to analyze investments. "They have to be taught to really examine the fundamentals of any investment."
4). Fear of regret — People hate to be wrong, especially when they perceive everyone else to be right, so they'll jump in on an investment trend for that reason, which results in them buying at the wrong time and selling at the wrong time.
5). Fear of loss — Studies show that people feel the sting of a loss twice as much as the euphoria of a gain. That's why portfolio protection is now paramount, Johnson says.
"It's incredibly important for advisors to carefully frame questions in a way to focus more on discovering client expectations, and even before that, they need to ensure they actually ask questions," he concludes. "Too often advisors are so focused on getting their own point across, they sometimes fail to listen."

I think I can get a better deal for my mobile service. What do I do now?
Pat yourself on the back! You're just about to save money and hopefully enjoy better service.
Research company Canstar Blue found that seniors pay on average $21.77 for a mobile plan; if you're paying more there is probably a better deal waiting for you.
Can I keep my phone number when I switch?
Absolutely. In fact did you know it is now a regulation that mobile service providers must allow people to keep their numbers when they change providers? It's one of the main reasons there is now so much competition in the industry.
What plan is right for me?
Look through your bills and work out how you use your phone. If it is generally to make and receive calls and texts, then you don't need to pay for a plan with lots of data.
Canstar Blue looked at what people are paying for mobile plans across Australia and found some big differences, even though the same plans were available nationally.
For example, compared to users in New South Wales, people in Victoria are paying around $10 more for prepaid sim only plans.
This shows that it is worth seeking out value. While a few dollars each week may not seem like much, as Canstar Blue said, over a year it could add up to another week's worth of groceries or a doctor's appointment.
Pennytel, for example, offer $20 per month for unlimited calls and texts and 2GB of data, without being locked into a contract. Plans such as this means you won't get bill shock at the end of the month, and you're free to adjust your plan should you, for example, go travelling and need more data short term.
With inclusions like this for just $20, you have to ask if you still really need that home phone!
Once you have a shortlist of plans, consider what level of customer service you'd like.
Do I really have a choice about customer service?
Definitely. Why choose to be stuck in endless loops of chatbots and transferred between departments? At Pennytel for example, they guarantee that a real person will always answer your call. They also specialise in providing services for the over 50s, so are able offer to an extra level of understanding and support because they know about the common issues for this age group.
How do I change providers?
It's a good idea to check a couple of things before you change to a new provider: whether you're still in a contract and whether your handset is locked. Then you're ready to start saving.
Choose a new provider and order your new sim card. You'll be asked if you want to move (or 'port') your existing number. Simply supply your number and the current provider's name, and your new mobile service provider will do the rest. You won't need to contact your current provider at all.
Once you receive your new sim card and activate it, your old number will move over and soon you'll be ready to go. It's that easy. Get ready for savings.
Great news! Get even more value as Pennytel are currently offering three months half price on your plan charge for orders placed before May 27. T&Cs apply, find out more on their website here.

Mumfest visitors will have literally 300-plus choices of vendors all through the streets of downtown New Bern today and Sunday.
Mumfest visitors will have literally 300-plus choices of vendors all through the streets of downtown New Bern today and Sunday.
About half of those come from outside the area, including other parts of North Carolina and from as far away as Florida, Virginia, New England and the Midwest.
But, since its inception 33 years ago, local organizations and individuals have been the backbone of the festival, according to Susan Moffat-Thomas, executive director of Swiss Bear Downtown Development, which produces the event.
�We have tremendous support locally, due to arts and crafts and businesses and nonprofits,� she said. �When Mumfest first started, it was so small, it was just a couple of blocks and it was primarily local because there was absolutely no money to advertise. Advertising was primarily with the poster. As we grew and began to draw numbers that would support vendors, then more and more vendors were interested and started coming from out of town.�
The early Mumfests had some local artists and a few nonprofits selling food. It has grown to perhaps the largest one-venue gathering of the year for area nonprofits, with upwards of 40 groups and churches on hand to offer information about their various community causes.
In some cases, nonprofits and commercial enterprises combine forces for a common good.
The Coastal Photo Club will provide free photography service to the Food Bank of Eastern North Carolina to raise money during Mumfest. Pinecone Perennials is providing material for the backdrop.
According to photo club member Judy Hills, the photo-taking will be available, for a charge, at the Beasley Broadcasting booth at Craven and Middle streets.
The photo club will have a 9:30 a.m. meeting this morning in downtown at Bear Towne Java on Middle Street, and then fan out and photograph the festival.
The Coastal Carolina Railroaders have been a part of Mumfest for many, many years.
�They are a nonprofit and their exhibits bring joy to many big and little kids during festival weekend,� Moffat-Thomas said. �The same is the case with the Fairfield Harbor Chorus. They have performed at festival for many years. Also, we provide the opportunity for the dance companies also as it gives the kids a chance to perform for the public rather than just an annual recital.�
Nonprofits have remained an important element in the festival through more than three decades, giving the event more places, opportunities and services for the visitors.
�They have partnered with us providing venues � Civic Theater, the Arts Council and Tryon Palace to name a few,� Moffat-Thomas added. �Craven Community College provides its talented ENCORE. CarolinaEast provides services � blood pressure, blood sugar and other medical tests - that are important to the community. The New Bern Lion�s Club has provided all the volunteers to sell carbonated soda and water to raise funds for helping the sight impaired.�
Downtown churches use it as an opportunity to raise funds. First Baptist charges for parking to raise funds for the children�s programs, Christ Church sells pumpkins, to name a few.
The Rotary sells banners and uses the funds for community service projects, the Boy Scouts man parking lots to raise money and the Coastal Women�s Shelter has partnered with New Bern Parks and Recreation, with proceeds from the Sunday morning 5k Run, which will benefit their organization.
The Sudan Shriners will have a booth for the 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children. Shriners operate 22 hospitals. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today, they will host orthopedic screening for the Greenville, S.C., hospital. The Greenville hospital has outstanding results treating children with Cerebral Palsy, Spinal Bifida, and multiple other orthopedic issues.
The N.C. Song writer�s Co-op is providing all of the talent/entertainment on the Sunday Main Stage to gain awareness and recruit members.
�The list is endless,� said Moffat Thomas. �The majority that have booths in the festival use the event as a means of gaining visibility, recruiting volunteers, and sells raffle tickets or ask for contributions to assist their cause.�
The Morehead City Rotary Club has had a booth for many, many years selling raffle tickets for a Harley Motorcycle.
Reilly�s Army is a nonprofit that will be a part of the festival for the first time, helping pay for services to people who have a child with cancer. The provide volunteers to stay with the child during the hospital stay so the parents can still go to work.

Her triumph came in 1986, when she shared the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine with her student, the biochemist Stanley Cohen, for their contributions to the understanding of growth factors in human development.
By the 1950s, the pattern of cell growth and differentiation had long been established, and scientists knew that the addition of blood or organ extracts to cells in culture resulted in their successful growth. They did not know, however, the identity of the active substances, just as cancer researchers understood little of the unregulated growth of tumour cells.
In 1952, Rita Levi-Montalcini found that when tumours from mice were transplanted to chick embryos, they induced potent growth of the chick embryo nervous system . She concluded that the tumour released a nerve growth-promoting factor (NGF) which had a selective action on certain types of nerve cells.
Following this discovery, she began to measure the effect of NGF on cells in culture, and discovered that a sensory or sympathetic nerve cell reacted within 30 seconds of the addition of minute quantities of NGF. Just one billionth part of a gram of NGF per millilitre of culture medium exerted a potent growth-promoting effect.
In 1953 the biochemist Stanley Cohen joined her research group at Washington University, St Louis, and together they purified a nerve growth-promoting extract. Rita Levi-Montalcini's discovery improved scientific understanding of the processes involved in certain physical malformations and diseases. It has led to improved therapeutic agents and could be central to eventual treatments for diseases such as multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's as well as psychiatric disorders such as depression or anorexia.
Rita Levi-Montalcini was born, with her twin sister Paola, in Turin on April 22 1909, the youngest of four children. Her father, Adamo Levi, was an electrical engineer and mathematician, and her mother, Adele Montalcini, a talented painter. Their elder brother, Gino, would become a prominent Italian architect and professor at the University of Turin.
Though the family was cultured, Rita's father took a traditional view of a woman's place and decided that his three daughters should not go to university. But Rita was convinced she could not be content with a merely domestic role and, at the age of 20, begged her father to be allowed to try for university. Eventually he relented and within eight months she had rectified her deficiencies in Latin, Greek and Mathematics, graduated from high school, and enrolled at the medical school in Turin, where she studied under the histologist Giuseppe Levi.
In 1936 she graduated with a summa cum laude degree in Medicine and Surgery, and began postgraduate work in neurology and psychiatry. But that year, Mussolini issued the Manifesto per la Difesa della Razza, signed by 10 Italian scientists, which called for laws barring academic and professional careers to non-Aryan citizens. She therefore left Italy for Belgium, where she worked as a guest of a neurological institute in Brussels. In 1940, on the eve of the German invasion of Belgium, she returned to the relative safety of Turin.
Realising it would not be possible to pursue her scientific interests openly, Rita Levi-Montalcini built a small research unit in her bedroom. By this time, inspired by a 1934 article by Viktor Hamburger reporting on the effects of limb amputation in chick embryos, she had become interested in the mechanisms controlling the development of the vertebrate nervous system. She had barely begun work when her former teacher, Giuseppe Levi, who had also escaped from Belgium, returned to Turin and joined her in her work.
Forced to leave Turin by the heavy Allied bombing of the city in 1941, she moved her laboratory to a cottage in Piemonte. But the invasion of Italy by the German Army in 1943 forced her to move again and she remained in hiding in Florence until the Allies liberated the city in August 1944. She was then taken on by the Allied armies as a volunteer physician and assigned to a refugee camp, where she had to treat cases of typhoid and other infectious diseases.
When the war ended she returned with her family to Turin and resumed her academic career at the University. In 1947 she received an invitation from Viktor Hamburger to join him at Washington University, St Louis, where he was a professor. She planned to remain in America for a year but, as a result of the success of her research, decided to postpone her return.
She continued her research on NGF for some 30 years. In 1956 she was appointed Associate Professor and in 1958 full Professor of Neurobiology at Washington University, a position she held until her retirement in 1977. In 1962 she established a research unit in Rome, and from then on, she divided her time between Italy and America. From 1969 to 1978 she was Director of the Institute of Cell Biology of the Italian National Council of Research.
After her retirement in 1979 she became an emeritus professor at the Institute, and from 1989 to 1995, by now well into her eighties, she worked at the Italian National Council of Research Institute of Neurobiology, testing new hypotheses on the action of NGF.
From 1993 to 1998 she was President of the Institute of the Italian Encyclopaedia. She was the author of numerous scientific publications, four bestsellers, and a short autobiography, In Praise of Imperfection. In 1992 she created, together with her twin sister, the Levi-Montalcini Foundation, in memory of their father, to assist young people in the difficult choices regarding their fields of study.
Rita Levi-Montalcini was a member of many scientific academies, including the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, the Pontifical Academy, the Accademia delle Scienze, the American National Academy of Sciences, and the Royal Society.
She was unmarried.
Rita Levi-Montalcini, born April 22 1909, died December 30 2012


text: I keep my Dell Axim + headphones stored in a small organizer pouch. I (stupidly) put a bottle of water in my purse the other day that wasn't completely closed. Everything got fairly well soaked - the textbook I had in there, my wallet, etc. But my Axim was perfectly fine, because the pouch pretty much kept the water out - it was maybe slightly damp inside, but that's it. These basic pouches are really a million times more useful than I initially thought!

Super Bowl 2013 Coaches' Press Conference: "What Have You Learned From Your Mom?"
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past two weeks (or just arrived from another planet), you probably know that this year's Super Bowl not only matches up the 49ers and the Ravens, but two brothers, John (Ravens) and Jim (49ers). The Harbaughs are also the son of coaching legend Jack Harbaugh, who along with his wife Jackie held his own press conference yesterday. Yes, this is the Super Bowl. Everything and everybody gets a press conference.
Friday morning at 8:30 a.m. Central Time -- that is damn early in New Orleans especially for the many media folks (not me) who were at the EA Madden blowout with Big Boi and Li'l Wayne on Thursday night -- the Super Bros held a first of its kind press conference. For thirty minutes, the Harbaughs held court at the media center, talking about their experiences and answering questions from the throngs of reporters from around the world (and around the internet).
If you didn't see it, don't worry. We were there to bring you all the highlights and a few extra nuggets of snark.
Before we get to the press conference, let's take care of some important business. How about we set some over/under prop bets? How many mentions of "Dad" or "Jack Harbaugh"? I'll set the over/under at 10 and take the over. How many mentions of "Family"? I think Vegas has taken that one off the board. What about "Competition"? Let's set that at five (and also take the over). And will someone ask Jim Harbaugh about being Ray Lewis' very first sack victim in the NFL? If I were a betting woman, I'd say $100 pays $80 on that one.
Since we're in New Orleans (and it's five o'clock somewhere), we can also play a Super Bros Presser drinking game, where you drink every time they mention one of the bingo buzzwords -- Dad, Jack, Jackie, Mom, Family, Competition, Honor. (I would advise strongly against the drinking game. It's still early even by New Orleans standards and it's probably best to pace yourself).
8:30 a.m. - John kicks off (see what I did there?) with a boring opening statement about what an honor it is to be here and how exciting this moment is. (*yawn*)
8:32 a.m. - We have our first reference to dad Jack and mom Jackie. Drink!
8:33 a.m. - Shoutout to Grandpa Joe! The Harbaugh's grandfather Joe Sepidi is 97 years old and here in New Orleans for the game. That is impressive. Uncle Bob Sepidi and cousin Chad are also in the house. John asks, "Any other family members out there?"
8:34 a.m. - John says that today's practice will be just like any other practice. "It will be a normal Friday practice with things we do on Friday, and we'll be moving on from there." Jim responds. "I concur."
Heads up: we may have a late entry into the Super Bros Press Conference Bingo Buzzword Drinking Game - "concur." Proceed with caution.
8:36 a.m. - An intrepid reporter asks which one of the brothers was the risky/gutsiest growing up. Jim mentions competition.
(Checks Buzzword Bingo list - yup. That's your cue to drink!)
8:39 a.m. - Jim talks about a big game earlier in the season with Alex Smith and Randy Moss making big plays. Remember Alex Smith? Good times, good times. Also, just a friendly reminder that Randy Moss is back in the Super Bowl. Jim concludes: "The way our players have played, that is why we're here, not because of any coaching decisions or any way that we were when we were kids. Really a credit to those men, and looking forward to the game.
8:40 a.m. - "I concur." - John Harbaugh
8:41 a.m. - Here's a good question about whether the brothers could work together. Jim doesn't even hesitate. "Definitely, I would work for him." John immediately responds. "I concur." (DING DING DING! We have a new buzzword).
8:43 a.m. - John shows some brotherly love. "You always try to get great coaches, and there are none better than Jim Harbaugh, and I mean that seriously. There's no better coach in the National Football League than this guy right here." Aw, brotherly love is awesome.
8:44 a.m. - Jim actually has another suggestion for a great coach. "Jack Harbaugh." DRINK.
8:44 a.m. - Jim talks about working with his dad at Western Kentucky and at the University of San Diego as well as at Stanford. That's three mentions of "Dad" and/or "Jack" in one answer. Take an extra drink.
8:45 a.m. - We have another reference to Jack and Jackie. It's 8:45 a.m. and I'm already drunk (if I were drinking, of course).
Super Bros Press Conference Buzzword Bingo Update: four references to "Jack" or "Dad", three "concur", two "Jackies", one "honor", one "competition."
8:46 a.m. - A reporter asks a question which includes a specific reference to Jack in the question. That's a shot, my friends.
8:47 a.m. - It's a cruel cruel world. One of these brothers will lose on Sunday. Have they thought about the disappointment? John says that he has thought about it. Then mentions hard work, competition (drink!), adversity and disappointment. I guess checking one off the Buzzword Bingo list isn't terrible.
8:49 a.m. - Awwww, here's a question about whether John wants to protect his younger brother. I think we all have an idea of what the answer is going to be. (Spoiler alert: John said no.)
Bonus points for use of "Band of Brothers" in John's response. Take an optional shot for that one. (Band of Brothers is an outstanding mini-series. Highly recommend. And you get to see Damian Lewis before he became a terrorist in 'Homeland'.)
8:50 a.m. - There's some talk about being from Toledo. Honestly, I have nothing to add or say about this. Let's just move on.
8:51 a.m. - Someone asks a question about the players rising to the moment. Right, because if they weren't playing the Super Bowl they wouldn't give a damn. The best way to come at this weaksauce is with some skilled cliche speak. John Harbaugh brings it.
"It's going to be 60 minutes of great football, because you've got two fundamentally very sound football teams playing whose total focus is on this one moment, this one game. Within that plays will come. Plays will come to guys and guys will make plays. The guys that make those plays will end up winning the game." Brilliant stuff, John. Top notch. Bravo.
8:52 a.m. - When asked about their commonalities and differences in philosophies, Jim brings a funny. "Philosophical commonalities? I would be hard-pressed to spell philosophical right now." John follows quickly with "I know he can't spell commonalities."
And that concludes your spelling humor portion of the Super Bros press conference.
8:53 a.m. - Now we have a question about whether we'll see the first post-game Super Bowl "bear hug." Really, dude? This is what you're asking about? *sigh* John shuts that weak question down faster than Ray Lewis shuts down prosecutor questions.
"I've given absolutely no consideration to the postgame handshake or bear hug or anything else. I haven't thought about that for one second. Have you, Jim?" Shocker, Jim concurs. "I have not."
8:54 a.m. - In case you were worried about the next generation of Harbaugh boys continuing the coaching legacy, have no fear. Jim's son, Jay, is working for the Ravens this season. GASP.
Jim, ever the proud father, has nothing but gracious things to say. "I'm really really thankful and proud at the same time that Jay is doing what he loves to do. That is a real blessing and he's doing it with the Baltimore Ravens with a tremendous organization, great coaches around to mentor him and to teach him, especially John being there and hiring him and I hear he's doing a phenomenal job which again I'm really proud of." Aw, Jim Harbaugh, proud papa.
8:55 a.m. - Another Jack Harbaugh reference in the question. I can't keep track anymore. Time to drink. Again.
8:56 a.m. - Lots of mentions of pride and proud. So proud. Ooh there's a mention of competition and competing. Drink up!
8:55 a.m. - On a serious note, there's a question about how important the game is to the city of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and whether the players feed off the energy.
John is the first to respond. " I think our guys really understand the whole dynamic here, just like everybody does. Everybody in America understands (Hurricane) Katrina and New Orleans and the renaissance as you put it and all those things."
Jim talks about how great the staff has been at their hotel (the Marriott on Canal Street). "I like the way they talk." BREAKING: Jim Harbaugh is a sucker for a southern drawl.
8:57 a.m. - Family reference! DRINK ALL OF THE DRINKS.
8:58 a.m. - We have another reference to Jack (how many is that? I think it's around 237).
8:58 a.m. - The best question of the press conference is here. "What have you learned from your mother that you've applied in your coaching careers?" YES. Time for Jackie to get some props. And the Super Bros do not disappoint.
Jim answers first. "There is no one in the family who has more competitive fire than my mother. She competes like a maniac." (Anybody else immediately think of the song from "Flashdance"? No? Just me? Ok then.)
"She took us to games and played catch with us, shot baskets with us, and just believed in us," Jim said. Jackie Harbaugh, MVP of the family.
8:59 a.m. - John continued to praise his mom. "She basically made it very clear that we were to have each other's back no matter what, and that was our mom. She was with us every day. Dad worked a lot...There were a lot of things going on in our world during the '70s, and mom was always tuned in on those kinds of things and brought up conversation that helped make us well-rounded people as we grew up."
One thing is clear: the Harbaugh boys love their mom. It's really cool to see.
9:00 a.m. - It wouldn't be Super Bowl week without talking about Mike Ditka. As you might remember, Ditka coached the legendary 1985 Bears to their Super Bowl win over the Patriots right here at the Superdome in 1986. Good times, good times.
But back to the press conference. A reporter asks Jim about what he took from his experience playing for Ditka in Chicago. "I look back on that, and what do they mean to me with shaping the rest of my life with the Chicago Bear organization and the people I met there and what the organization and Coach Ditka did for me? I don't think there is a percentage to put on it. Those were signature years for me."
When the subject of Jim's interception on an audible resulted in Ditka's public berating of the quarterback on the sidelines, Jim didn't even hesitate. "It was more than fair. I shouldn't have thrown the interception. Still kicking myself for that."
Yes, I think Jim Harbaugh might be a bit of a perfectionist. Just a hunch.
9:02 a.m. The final question of the Super Bros press conference is a rambling and nearly incomprehensible question about whether close relationships with their players helped get the coaches to the Super Bowl. It's actually the perfect last question, setting up the brothers perfectly for some good cliches and talk about Jack. That works for me.
Let's have John bring us home. "What brought us here is guys playing really well and playing good football games. Just like they do, we have a rough, tough, hard-playing football team that made plays when they had to." Strong cliche work, John.
Let's wrap this up for one final homage to Jack Harbaugh. "We learned growing up that if you're going to be a teacher, all great teachers make it about their students, right? Our dad told us that coaches are teachers first, which I know that they are."
Take a final drink in honor of Jack Harbaugh.
And that wraps up the Super Bros Press Conference. In a stunner, nobody asked Jim about being the first sack victim of Ray Lewis. Maybe that's why I don't actually gamble.
Thanks for playing and reading along with the Super Bros Bingo Buzzwords Drinking Game. You might want to seek emergency medical attention.
