Tivo Programming Instructions
Students may access their voicemail box from any resident phone by pressing *5 from on-campus or by dialing (310) 338-7000 from off-campus. Prior to student move-in day, all mailboxes will be set to the default password equal to the 5-digit extension of the telephone. Students will receive automated instructions for mailbox setup the first time they access their mailbox.
Basic Operation
Setting Up
Special Considerations
Voicemail service provides a means by which callers can leave a message in your voicemail "box" if you are unavailable to answer a call. The Voicemail system will automatically answer any call after five rings. If you are on the phone, the call will "camp-on" for the equivalent of five rings, allowing you to answer using the Call Waiting feature before it goes to Voicemail.
Callers who reach your voicemail will then have the option of leaving a private message in either roommate's individual mailbox, or they can leave a message in your shared "main" mailbox which either roommate can access.
To check to see if you have any messages, pick up the handset and you will hear "voicemail, voicemail" several times when there is a message. When the system answers, you will be prompted to enter your "password" followed by # sign. There will be one password for your main mailbox, and each roommate will also have a secret password for their individual mailboxes.
To check for messages in your individual mailbox, press 5#, then enter your secret password. The system tells you how many messages you have and plays the Main Menu. Select 1 to play your messages. After each message you can replay (press 1), save (press 2), or erase the message (press 3). If you wish to check your main mailbox for messages, press * until you are back to the main menu, then follow the system prompts.
When you pick up the handset for the first time, the system will prompt you to set up your mailbox. Your main mailbox password will be the same as your 5-digit campus phone number. When the system requests your password, dial this number and #. You will then hear a tutorial to guide you through all the steps required to set up your main and individual voicemail boxes. During the tutorial you will:
1) Change the password for your main mailbox. Changing your main mailbox password to a number other than your phone extension is strongly advised as the best insurance against others gaining unauthorized access to your mailbox(es). The password may be between four and eight digits in length. Each roommate at that extension should know the main mailbox password.
2) Set up your individual mailboxes. Setting up individual mailboxes within your main mailbox will allow you to receive private messages separately from your roommate(s). Passwords for these mailboxes should be kept private by the individual.
3) Record your main mailbox greeting. The system allows you to replace the default greeting with a personal one recorded in your own voice. The caller will hear this message when they first reach your voicemail. Be sure to indicate that the caller should press 1 if they want to leave a private message for either roommate. If they choose not to leave a private message, they can wait for the tone and leave a message in your main mailbox. Your greeting may last up to 60 seconds.
4) Record your individual mailbox spoken names. After the caller presses 1, the system will prompt them to press another number to leave a message in one of the individual mailboxes. The spoken names recorded here will identify each individual mailbox for the caller. All of the setup operations mentioned above are carried out from the Personal Options menu, which is reached by selecting 9 from the Main menu.
Tips On Using Your Voicemail
You can check your messages even when off campus! Dial 338-7000 from any touch-tone phone. When the system answers, it will ask for your password. Enter either your individual or primary mailbox password. The system will then prompt for your mailbox number. Enter your campus extension and press #. If your mailbox number and password match, you will gain access to your mailbox, just as if calling from your campus phone.
If you are at another on-campus phone and wish to check your messages, dial 87000. When the system answers, follow the directions given above.
If you call someone else and reach their voicemail, you can skip through their personal greeting by pressing #. After the beep, you can immediately begin your message.
Neither you nor the callers to your voicemail box have to listen to all of any prompt before responding. You can begin your next action by pressing a key at any time -- even while a prompt is playing.
To exit from any current operation, press *.
You are limited to a total of ten new and saved messages at any one time between your main and individual mailboxes. If you reach this limit, subsequent callers will not be able to leave messages until you erase messages from your mailbox(es).
In the interest of preserving system disk storage space, any messages not accessed within ten days or saved for more than ten days will be automatically erased by the system.
Callers can leave messages up to 2 minutes long in your mailbox(es).

A local philanthropic chapter will celebrate its founding — and five decades of helping women seeking higher education — on Thursday.
P.E.O. — Philanthropic Education Organization — was founded in 1869 as a campus friendship society by seven students at Iowa Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
Locally, Chapter BH Oneonta P.E.O. Sisterhood was founded 50 years ago, and members will recognize the chapter's anniversary during a meeting Thursday.
"It's a great organization,'' Ginger Heitz, recent past-president of the Oneonta chapter, said. Not only does P.E.O. support women in their pursuit of college and other advanced degrees, she said Tuesday, but the group provides a nurturing environment where friendship is valued.
The local chapter has between 30 and 40 members who are from Oneonta, the Cooperstown area, Laurens and Hartwick, said Heitz, of Fly Creek. The local chapter would welcome hearing from women interested in applying for P.E.O. support, she said.
Today P.E.O. has about 250,000 women in chapters throughout the United States and Canada, according to the P.E.O. New York website. P.E.O.'s mission focuses on supporting six international philanthropic projects — Scholar Award, International Peace Scholarship, Program for Continuing Education, Educational Loan Fund, STAR Scholarship and Cottey College.
The P.E.O. Sisterhood owns and operates Cottey College in Nevada, Mo. Cottey, a college for women, offers two-year and four-year degree programs. Gifts to the P.E.O. Foundation, which qualifies as a charity, are tax deductible, but local and state chapters aren't qualified as charities, the P.E.O. International website said.
Almost 88,000 women have benefited from educational grants, loans, awards, special projects and stewardship of Cottey College, the website said, with support totaling millions of dollars.
Information about assistance to local women wasn't available, several members said.
Sally Tyler, a local P.E.O. sister, said the larger organization reaches out to help women in many phases of life, such as single women or widows.
"Our work is definitely geared toward the education of women,'' Tyler said Tuesday.

The estimated 250,000 cars flooded by Superstorm Sandy on the East Coast will drive up used-car prices, even as far away as California.
The supply shortage comes on the heels of an already tightened used-car market in the wake of the recession, when new car sales dried up. Some experts say prices could rise $700 to $1,000 on the typical used car in the short term. Although those effects will be felt most acutely near the flood zone, the increasingly digital and national market for used cars will spread the price shocks widely.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The final reading for the U.S. manufacturing purchasing managers index in January was 55.8, worse than the flash reading of 56.1 but still a nine-month high, Markit reported Friday. Readings above 50 indicate expansion. The Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing index, due at 10 a.m., is expected to show a reading of 51.0%. "The PMI suggests that...rising production will help the economy return to growth in the first quarter providing there are no set-backs in coming months," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, in a statement.

"America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand." - Harry S. Truman
Your Plan For Independence
Texas will celebrate 177 years of Independence. In 1836, General Sam Houston
and his modest volunteer army surprised and defeated General Santa Anna and his
Mexican army at the Battle of San Jacinto. Ten years later, Texas voluntarily entered the
United States after a majority vote of the people.
On that day in 1836, by most accounts General Houston's army was
outmanned and outgunned. When the final
battle commenced mid afternoon, Houston's army appeared weary and ragged from
over a month in the field. But their
element of surprise, combined with clean and well-oiled rifles created a force
that General Santa Ana's formidable army could not overcome.
Some people believe the FairTax® is weary and ragged and if they just
wait us out we will go away. I have news for them. We're not weary, we're not ragged and we're not going away. In
fact, we've just begun to fight!
We are not intimidated by special interests. We do not fear bullies,
and those who seek to water down the fundamental tenants of the FairTax Plan do
not sway us.
Don't be fooled by the current "tax reform" rhetoric currently coming
out of Capitol Hill. It is nothing more than window dressing for the continued
proliferation of special interests and their treasure chest of exemptions and
loopholes, so lush now that Washington, D.C. has become America's newest "Boomtown."
is only one tax replacement plan created by the people, for people and about
the people. It is the FairTax Plan.
If you are not actively
participating in advancing the FairTax Plan with your Congressional delegation
and in your community, we encourage you to take action today.
Texas is a state today because General Houston, his volunteer army and
the then-people of Texas committed themselves and everything they had to
winning their independence from foreign domination.
Will you make this kind of commitment to the FairTax? Will you develop
a plan for giving of your time, talent and financial resources? If you will,
send me your plan and we will publish 2 or 3 of the best ones we receive in an
upcoming issue of FairTax Friday! You can send your plan to me at: email@example.com
other FairTax news:
Yesterday, Americans for Fair Taxation submitted written testimony for
the record to the House Ways and Means Committee for the Committee's hearing on
itemized deductions and charitable deductions. You can read it at: www.fairtax.org/statement.
In addition, on March 30, Representative Vern
Buchanan (FL-16), a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, will be
hosting a tax reform Town Hall at 11:00 am at the New College of Florida's
Mildred Sainer Pavilion in Sarasota, FL.

Volunteer Spotlight: Oklahoma FairTaxers
We're thrilled
to announce that Congressman Jim Bridenstine, representing OK-01 has
signed onto HR 25! This is another success story from Oklahoma leaders and
Here's the inside story that OK State Director, Bill
Harrington, sent us last week. It's a model of what OK does with a strong
volunteer organization and how national coordination helps our efforts:
"It is 8:06PM and I just got home from a Town hall in Owasso
held by Jim Bridenstine OK-1. There was about 75-100 people in the
meeting (WAG) and the congressman stated that he was a "strong
supporter" of the FairTax and that he would be a cosponsor.
After the meeting I had a short bit of face time with
him. He told me that he had made contact with Woodall and told him that
he wanted to become a cosponsor. Rob filled him in and Jim intends to
follow through upon his return to DC."
The FairTax Act In The News
Fair tax would help
charities - Houma
Would you like to give more to your church or favorite
You are not alone, but with hard times, even though
charitable giving is growing, it is growing so slowly that it will take 10
years to return to the 2007 rate of charitable giving. Because our tax code is
crippling businesses, punishing hard work and repelling foreign investment, in
2011, Americans gave 11 percent less than in 2007.
Fair tax ends the income tax, alternative minimum tax, death
tax, gift tax, payroll tax, capital gains tax and self-employment tax. Grow the
economy, and you grow charitable donations. Beacon Hill Institute's research
shows passage of the fair tax increases giving by 2.4 percent within 10 years
and almost 5 percent within 20 years…

It is time for
Congress to pass HR:25 The Fair Tax! – Star
News Online
…A day does not go by when reading the News Paper or tuning
in to the TV News report one sees a story where some Representative or Senator
is wringing their hands in desperation over the current wasteful failure known
as the Federal Tax System. Most make statements blaming the other Party or
claiming there are no Bills or solutions for them to support or bring to their
Constituents. This is a false statement based in ignorance at best, a lie at
worst. Currently 60 Representatives and 7 Senators are Co-sponsors of HR:25 or
S:22! Representative Walter Jones, Mike McIntyre and Senator Kay Hagan are not
supporters? They don't seem to know about HR:25 or S:22 when I have asked why
they are not Co-sponsors?
HR:25 The Fair Tax is the solution. HR:25 is a very simple

Standing at a podium in front of piles of pipes in Cushing, Okla., last week, President Obama unveiled an executive order meant to speed federal permitting of pipeline infrastructure, including the southern portion of the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline. Critics immediately jumped on the move, accusing Obama of being "the rooster taking credit for the dawn" and arguing that no federal action is actually needed for that portion of the Keystone pipeline to move forward. National Journal's Energy & Environment Insiders agree.
More than 70 percent of Insiders said that Obama's executive order was unnecessary, with some even saying the move smacks of federal overreach.
Insiders overwhelmingly agreed that the southern portion of the Keystone XL pipeline, which will run from Cushing to refineries in Port Arthur, Texas, only needs local approval. States typically handle the siting of interstate oil pipelines, while the only federal involvement normally comes from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Obama's involvement in the approval process is "not even remotely necessary," said one Insider, arguing that Obama's campaign likely thought it was "politically necessary to invent an executive action to [stanch] the coming decline in the polls."
The Cushing campaign stop came just a day after Gallup released a poll showing that nearly 60 percent of Americans think the U.S. government should approve the entire Keystone project, which Obama rejected in late January.
"The Cushing event was all show ... but a well-executed one," said another Insider.
Still, by rejecting the permit for the full pipeline—which would run from Canada to the Gulf Coast—and then going full-force in supporting the southern section of the pipeline, Obama is sending out inconsistent messages to the public, Insiders said.
"This is a local permitting decision. The president getting involved looks like federal government interfering in the traditionally local decision of land-use planning—and it likely won't actually change the permitting process, which is already under way," said one Insider. "Not great optics—and I say this as a fan of the president."
Even some of the 29 percent of Insiders who said the Obama administration should be involved argued that it is not legally necessary but noted that it is politically important.
"It is necessary in a political sense, to demonstrate that the administration is doing everything it can to lower high gas prices," said one Insider. "But even without the administration's involvement, the southern portion of Keystone will get built and, shockingly, gas prices will remain high."
Insiders overwhelmingly agreed that the southern portion of the pipeline won't do much for oil prices. Asked whether prices will go up or down once this piece of the pipeline is completed, 75 percent of Insiders chose "neither," a mere 14 percent said prices would go down, and 11 percent said they would go up.
"You need to connect the hose to the spigot if you want to water the lawn," one Insider said, arguing that only the approval of the full Keystone XL pipeline project would affect prices.
Insiders said that aside from some efficiencies in delivery, this portion of the pipeline won't have much of an impact.
"It will only have an impact on the price of oil if investors see the construction as a sign of things to come in terms of fostering more domestic development," said one Insider.
Is it necessary for the Obama administration to get involved in the permitting process for the southern portion of the Keystone XL pipeline?
(28 votes)
- Yes 29%
- No 71%
"As a legal matter, it is not necessary for the president to intervene. However, doing so at the presidential level is a tacit admission that the agencies responsible for approving the southern portion of the pipeline are taking an excessive amount of time."
"The GOP consistently misrepresents the president's position on energy issues. This was his plant-the-flag moment."
"According to TransCanada, it is awaiting permits for the southern portion of the Keystone pipeline to be approved by the Army Corps of Engineers. So the administration is involved, no question. The Corps has promised expedited treatment for these permits, pursuant to a commitment President Obama made in February. Some of the president's environmental supporters probably wish the Corps would restart the analysis from square zero and push back what Obama's critics are calling the 'dawn.' As I see it, President Obama can defensibly claim credit for helping southern Keystone to move forward expeditiously."
"Pipelines not crossing international borders are the province of state regulators, not federal, save for minimal siting permits from [the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service] and [Army Corps of Engineers]. The activities by those agencies [were] either near complete or done prior to the White House shutting them down last fall. The Cushing event was all show ... but a well-executed one."
"The president's announcement on expediting permitting seems mostly about just saving TransCanada from government rules that would have required a redo on some processes. It may not have been necessary, but it can't hurt to have the president tell his agencies to make this a priority and work efficiently. Shouldn't that happen all the time?"
"Obama's Cushing campaign stop will turn out to be his Dukakis-in-the-tank moment come November. Everybody knows that the feds have no impact on whether or not this portion of the project moves forward."
"White House involvement is the only reason that all federal permits are not issued already. Further White House meddling will not be beneficial."
"Legally, no. Politically, yes, since our commander in chief is now trying to win the nickname 'President Pipeline.' "
"It actually hurts Obama because it highlights the fact that he said no to the larger pipeline, the only action that required his support."
What will be the effect on oil prices once the southern portion is actually built?
(28 votes)
- Prices will go up 11%
- Prices will go down 14%
- Neither 75%
Prices will go up
"Oil prices will continue to rise because oil is traded in a global market where the completion of one pipeline in the U.S. is not enough to overcome growing demand from China and India and continuing uncertainty about Iran and the Middle East."
"By clearing out the 'Cushing glut,' two things will happen: The oversupply of oil that is keeping Midwestern gasoline prices relatively low will end (thus raising those prices), and the oil now sitting in Cushing will go to the Gulf—where it will mostly be converted into diesel for export, NOT for domestic gasoline. The shocking thing is that the Obama administration ought to know this; the galling thing is that no one seems interested in asking them about it."
Prices will go down
"It will be a very modest effect. Gasoline prices are largely set by Gulf Coast refineries, so they will be helped a little by extra supply. The bigger effect will be to reduce the very generous profit margins currently enjoyed by mid-continent refineries that currently have the excess crude to themselves, but charge gasoline prices keyed to the Gulf Coast anyway. They will come back closer to the national average for refining margins."
"The prices for crude at the Gulf Coast should go down, helping millions of gasoline consumers. They might even go down further when we can get pipelines to connect the Gulf Coast to the Bakken and the Canadian oil sands. Wait, I think one of those was proposed!"
"More supply will always help serve as a pressure relief on prices although the impact may not be as linear as everyone thinks. What is needed is the completion of the entire [Keystone] XL project to create sustained price impact."
"You need to connect the hose to the spigot if you want to water the lawn."
"No impact at all, but our oil will get to China more quickly."
"The refiners in the mid-continent are making a killing. Anything that de-bottlenecks will reduce refiners' margin, and have almost no effect on price."
"No, this will create some efficiencies in delivery, but if it's more than a few cents per gallon at the gasoline pump, I would be surprised."
"It will only have an impact on the price of oil if investors see the construction as a sign of things to come in terms of fostering more domestic development."
"Despite some of his words trying to explain the reality of industry manipulation of gas prices, all of his actions—from southern Keystone to Arctic drilling to delay on [Environmental Protection Agency] rules—indicate the president is scared of the gas-price mob."
"This will help alleviate the bottleneck of Bakken crude, but until the northern part of the Keystone that Obama has actively opposed is built and Canada's 700,000 barrels a day begin flowing into the Houston refineries, it will not impact the price of crude."

Mineral Wells Index
By CHRIS AGEE
According to police, a man helped seal his own fate by returning to the spot they say he left evidence of a suspected crime.
The ordeal began April 17 at a retailer in the 600 block of Farm-to-Market Road 1821 North.
When the store's loss prevention staff noticed a man who appeared to be concealing merchandise in a shopping cart, they followed him until he abandoned the cart and left the store.
Mineral Wells police officers were dispatched and collected a number of driver's licenses and Social Security cards from the cart. The reported offense is described as fraudulent use or possession of identifying information between 5
and 10 items.
Officers were dispatched to the location later that week when a man believed to be the suspect returned to the same store.
After police determined Aaron Russell Ehrle, 31, of Mineral Wells, was the same individual loss prevention identified earlier, officers linked him to a vehicle in the parking lot and collected further evidence.
He was arrested at the scene and faces charges stemming from an off bond warrant for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
Erhle has since been released on $30,000 bond, according to county records.

The LaCHIP Affordable Plan is a LaCHIP health insurance plan for uninsured children in moderate-income families whose income is too much to qualify for regular LaCHIP but still below a slightly higher income limit. A monthly premium is charged for each household that has at least one child enrolled in the LaCHIP Affordable Plan.
The premium is $50 per month per household
There are no premiums due for any household that has at least one LaCHIP Affordable Plan child who is a verified member of a federally recognized Native American tribe or is an Alaskan native.
Children must be under age 19 and not covered by health insurance. There is an income limit for family income based on household size.
Families that already have access to insurance through the Office of Group Benefits through their employers are not eligible for the LaCHIP Affordable Plan. However, they are eligible to apply for regular LaCHIP.
Those interested in applying are encouraged to call the LaCHIP hotline at 1‐877‐2LaCHIP (252‐2447) or at any of the DHH Medicaid/LaCHIP Eligibility offices or Certified Medicaid/LaCHIP application centers throughout the state, or can apply online. The LaCHIP Affordable Plan uses this application .
DHH Medicaid/LaCHIP will mail the first invoice with the eligibility approval notice. The Office of Group Benefits (OGB) will mail all subsequent invoices on the first day of each month. No payments will be received by DHH Medicaid/LaCHIP staff; OGB will collect all premiums for the LaCHIP Affordable Plan. The first premium payment must be submitted to OGB by sending a check or a money order in the mail. You will be able to enroll your child in a Bayou Health plan once OGB informs DHH that the first LaCHIP Affordable Plan premium has been received.
After OGB receives the first payment by mail, your LaCHIP Affordable Plan membership is activated. There are a few payment options once your membership is activated:
Federal restrictions require that the income of individuals enrolling in the LaCHIP Affordable Plan not exceed 250 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). For that reason, deductions cannot be applied to the program. DHH counts the income of natural or adoptive parents living in the home, and siblings and half‐siblings under 18 (if they are included in the family size and its benefits the child being determined eligible for coverage). We do not count the income of step‐parents, grandparents or caregivers.
No. The LaCHIP and the LaCHIP Affordable Plans are only available to uninsured children.
LaCHIP Affordable Plan members receive the same services as regular LaCHIP members. LaCHIP Affordable Plan members only have access to these same benefits as long as the monthly premiums due are timely made.
LaCHIP Affordable Plan members have the choice to enroll in the same Bayou Health plans as the regular LaCHIP plan members. Contact a Bayou Health representative to find out which plan your doctor is enrolled in.
Yes. A child applying for the LaCHIP Affordable Plan must be uninsured for the 12 months prior to enrollment.
Yes. Applicants who lose insurance coverage involuntarily are not subjected to the 12‐month waiting period. Reasons for involuntary loss include:
Consult a LaCHIP customer service agent by phone (1‐877‐252‐2447) or e‐mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) to discuss your request for exemption.
When a premium is not paid, the Louisiana Office of Group Benefits (OGB) informs DHH Medicaid/LaCHIP Eligibility of the past due premium. Medicaid will advise the family in writing that the case will be closed. If the premium is not paid within 10 days from the date of this notice, coverage will end. The LaCHIP Affordable Plan membership cannot be reactivated until all past due premiums are paid in full.
If any person in the household has a reduction in income during the eligibility period, they should call their caseworker and report the change. A reduction in income could mean the children are eligible for comprehensive health benefits at no cost through regular Medicaid/LaCHIP. Your child/ren can be placed in a no-cost LaCHIP program as early as the month after you report your income change to your caseworker.
If you are longer eligible for a no-cost LaCHIP program, your children will automatically be evaluated for the LaCHIP Affordable Plan. Your caseworker will contact you to ask if you want to be enrolled in the LaCHIP Affordable Plan, which has costs not in regular LaCHIP. DHH will hold your start date beginning one month after you agree to enroll in the program. The benefits for the membership will activate as soon as OGB notifies DHH that they received your first payment for enrollment in the LaCHIP Affordable Plan.
No. There is no retroactive coverage with the LaCHIP Affordable Plan. Coverage can begin no earlier than the month after your case worker has received everything required to be able to determine your eligibility in the LaCHIP Affordable Plan.
However, your case worker can look at your expenses and determine if you qualify for the "spend-down" medically needy program. This Medicaid program may help cover a portion of bills.

Syria threatens retaliation for Israeli airstrikeBy BASSEM MROUE
The Associated Press | February 01,2013BEIRUT Syria threatened Thursday to retaliate for an Israeli airstrike and its ally Iran said the Jewish state will regret the attack.
Syria sent a letter to the U.N. Secretary-General stressing the countrys right to defend itself, its territory and sovereignty and holding Israel and its supporters accountable.
Israel and those who protect it at the Security Council are fully responsible for the repercussions of this aggression, the letter from Syrias Foreign Ministry said.
U.S. officials said Israel launched a rare airstrike inside Syria on Wednesday. The target was a convoy believed to be carrying anti-aircraft weapons bound for Hezbollah, the powerful Lebanese militant group allied with Syria and Iran.
In Israel, a lawmaker close to hard-line Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stopped short of confirming involvement in the strike. But he hinted that Israel could carry out similar missions in the future.
The attack has inflamed regional tensions already running high over Syrias 22-month-old civil war.
Israeli leaders in the days leading up to the airstrike had been publicly expressing concern that Syrian President Bashar Assad may be losing his grip on the country and its arsenal of conventional and nonconventional weapons.
Regional security officials said Wednesday that the targeted shipment included sophisticated Russian-made SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles, which if acquired by Hezbollah would enhance its military capabilities by enabling the militants to shoot down Israeli jets, helicopters and surveillance drones.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
The Syrian military denied there was any weapons convoy and said low-flying Israeli jets had crossed into their country over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights to bomb a scientific research center near Damascus.
It said the target was in the area of Jamraya, northwest of Damascus and about 10 miles from the Lebanese border.
Maj. Gen. Abdul-Aziz Jassem al-Shallal, who in December became one of the most senior Syrian army officers to defect, told The Associated Press by telephone from Turkey that the site they said was targeted is a major and well-known center to develop weapons known as the Scientific Research Center.
Al-Shallal, who until his defection was commander of the military police, said no chemical or nonconventional weapons are at the site. He added that foreign experts, including Russians and Iranians, are usually present at such centers.
Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul-Karim Ali threatened retribution for the Israeli airstrike, saying Damascus has the option and the capacity to surprise in retaliation.
He told Hezbollahs al-Ahd news website that it was up to the relevant authorities to prepare the retaliation and choose the time and place.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry summoned Major-General Iqbal Singh Singha, the head of mission and force commander for United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) on the Golan Heights, to complain about the Israeli violation.
The force was established in 1974 following the disengagement of Israeli and Syrian forces in the area and has remained there since to maintain the cease-fire. Israel captured the Golan, a strategic plateau, from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war.
At U.N. headquarters in New York, deputy U.N. spokesman Eduardo del Buey said: UNDOF did not observe any planes flying over the area of separation, and therefore was not able to confirm the incident. UNDOF also reported bad weather conditions, he said.
Hezbollah condemned the attack as barbaric aggression and said it expresses full solidarity with Syrias command, army and people.
The group did not mention any weapons convoy in the statement but said the strike aimed to prevent Arab and Muslim forces from developing their military capabilities.
In Iran, the countrys top nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, said the Zionist regime will regret its aggression against Syria, Iran state television said.
The semi-official Fars news agency quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian as saying the raid will have significant implications for Israel.
Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi condemned the airstrike on state television, calling it a clear violation of Syrian sovereignty. Iran is Syrias strongest ally in the Middle East, and has provided Assads government with military and political backing for years.
Russia, Syrias most important international ally, said this appeared to be an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation. Moscow said it was taking urgent measures to clarify the situation in all its details.
If this information is confirmed, we have a case of unprovoked attacks on targets in the territory of a sovereign state, which grossly violates the U.N. Charter and is unacceptable, Russias Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Whatever the motives, this is not justified.
Incoming Israeli lawmaker Tzachi Hanegbi, who is close to Prime Minister Netanyahu, said pinpoint strikes are not enough to counter the threat of Hezbollah obtaining sophisticated weaponry from Syria.
Israels preference would be if a Western entity would control these weapons systems, Hanegbi said. But because it appears the world is not prepared to do what was done in Libya or other places, then Israel finds itself like it has many times in the past facing a dilemma that only it knows how to respond to, he added.
He was referring to NATOs 2011 military intervention in Libya that helped oust dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
Even if there are reports about pinpoint operations, these are not significant solutions to the threat itself because we are talking about very substantial capabilities that could reach Hezbollah, he said.
Syrias civil war has sapped Assads power and threatens to deprive Hezbollah of a key supporter, in addition to its land corridor to Iran. The two countries provide Hezbollah with the bulk of its funding and arms.
Earlier this week, Netanyahu warned of the dangers of Syrias deadly weapons, saying the country is increasingly coming apart.
The same day, Israel moved a battery of its new Iron Dome rocket defense system to the northern city of Haifa, which was battered by Hezbollah rocket fire in the 2006 war. The Israeli army called that move routine.
The Israeli army wont say whether Iron Dome was sent north in connection to this operation. It does note that it has deployed the system in the north before.
A U.N. diplomat confirmed that the organization received a letter from the Syrian ambassador but said it did not contain a request for a Security Council meeting.
A U.N. statement said Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed grave concern over reports of Israeli airstrikes on Syria but said the U.N. does not have details of the reported incident and cannot independently verify what happened.
The Secretary-General calls on all concerned to prevent tensions or their escalation in the region, and to strictly abide by international law, in particular in respect of territorial integrity and sovereignty of all countries in the region, the statement said.MORE IN Wire NewsBENGHAZI, Libya Islamic hard-line militias, including the group accused by the United States...

Those underinflated tires could kill you.
A new government study warns as many as one in 20 crashes could be linked to tire-related problems.
The reports by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that underinflated tires were the biggest problem.
A tire 25% below its rated pressure was found to be three times more likely to be involved in a crash.
Underinflated tires reduce a vehicle's stability and make it more difficult for a driver to maintain control during unexpected events.

Police arrested five people over the weekend during a sobriety checkpoint in North Laurel, according to a statement from the Howard County Police Department (HCPD).
Between Friday night and Saturday morning, police said 690 vehicles passed through the checkpoint, which was on Route 1 northbound at Davis Avenue and staffed by Maryland State Police and HCPD.
Three drivers, including one 18-year-old, were charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, said police. The teen was given an additional charge related to being underage, according to Sherry Llewellyn, spokeswoman for HCPD.
Two people were arrested for driving on suspended licenses, said police.
All drivers were provided with literature on the dangers of drinking and driving, said police. Of the 690 vehicles checked, police pulled over seven vehicles for further evaluation based on probable cause, said Llewellyn.
"Some of them did not meet the legal limit for impairment or intoxication and they were permitted to go on their way," she said.
Police would not disclose the hours of the checkpoint. "We don't release the exact hours," said Llewellyn.
"The location and times are determined using data that identifies an area as having a higher incidence of DUI problems and vehicle collisions," said Llewellyn.
Last month, a woman was charged with DUI where the checkpoint was set up—Davis Avenue at Route 1—after police said she hit a police car with her Chevrolet Cruze. Police said the collision was not a factor in determining where to have the sobriety checkpoint.
"The checkpoint was not related to the officer's vehicle that was struck by the drunk driver," said Llewellyn. "In fact, the checkpoint location was identified weeks earlier.
HCPD conducts three to four DUI checkpoints annually, said Lllewellyn. The last one was planned for the fourth of July weekend but was cancelled due to weather, according to police. In March, police said a checkpoint on MD 175 at Columbia Gateway Drive .
Alcohol was involved in 25 percent of fatal crashes in Howard County in 2011, according to police.

5 Tips for Choosing an M.B.A. Concentration
Your business degree focus can shape your career, so use these tips to help you choose a path.
We rely on search engines and social networks to guide us in many of life's decisions, from what smart phone to buy to where to get your brakes checked to which restaurant to hit for happy hour. But some decisions call for more than a Google search—and selecting an M.B.A. concentration might be one of them.
While choosing a degree focus is not required in all M.B.A. programs, focusing on finance versus marketing, for example, can shape the trajectory of your career, business school officials say.
[Find out which M.B.A. programs provide the best financial value.]
Combining your degree focus with internships and clubs in the same vein can bolster your résumé, says Mark Friedfeld, assistant director of the M.B.A. career management team at the University of California—Berkeley Haas School of Business.
Since choosing a specialty can be a point of anxiety, business school deans, students, and career advisers offer the following tips for selecting a degree focus:
1. Do your homework: Researching your dream company before you start your M.B.A. can help provide clarity and direction, says Kevin Lieberum, a first-year M.B.A. student at Washington University in St. Louis's Olin Business School.
Lieberum's goal is to work in the automotive industry, he says. Before starting at Olin, he sought out representatives from major car manufacturers at career fairs to discuss his interests and what role he could play within their companies. These conversations helped him decide on a finance concentration, he says.
And once you arrive on campus, take advantage of guest speakers and industry seminars, recommends Joe Fox, associate dean for the M.B.A. program at Olin.
"You really develop a greater appreciation for that general area, some of the specific companies that compete in that area, who the people are, why they got into that area, and what their career's been like," he says.
Listening to speakers talk about their work experience also helps students understand the issues facing the industry, and what day-to-day life can be like in a certain role, Fox says.
2. Look to the past: The majority of business school students have some prior work experience, business school officials say. Analyzing what you liked—and disliked—about your pre-M.B.A. employment can help students hone in on a concentration, says Friedfeld of the Haas School of Business.
Points of pride in previous jobs can often shine a light onto what roles will give you satisfaction in the future, he says.

"A student said, 'I'm really, really proud that all the junior members of my team were up for promotions earlier than the average time.' That can be a light-bulb moment," Friedfeld says. "Obviously, you want to be in a role where development is a big part of your job."
3. Be bold: Students unsure of their direction often hesitate to explore opportunities and pathways, says Fox from Olin Business School.
"They say, 'Oh, I'm not sure what I want to do yet; I can't network with anyone,'" he says. "Well, by not networking with anyone, you almost guarantee you're not going to get the insight that you need."
Instead of shying away from opportunities, students should be aggressive and proactively seek out recruiters, faculty members, and other university resources at their disposal, Fox adds.
4. Embrace change: Nothing is set in stone, Fox notes.
Internships are a great way to test the waters in a new role or industry. If it isn't a good fit, students can still change course without losing much ground, he says. "They work in this field for a summer and say, 'Oh no, that's not for me,'" Fox says. "They still have a full year to redirect themselves."
[Read about on-demand career coaching for M.B.A. students.]
It's even OK to change directions after graduation, says Lieberum, an Olin M.B.A. student.
"Focusing on one thing doesn't mean you're locked into that for the rest of your life," Lieberum says. "There is room to grow both within a concentration, and laterally into other functions as your experience, knowledge, and interests grow."

Boa: an Embedded Web Server
Most of the world thinks of a web server as something on the Internet that can help find a football score, access a bank account or find an airplane flight. That's well and good but, in the embedded world, there are lots of places where a web server could come in handy. A common example is a network-connected printer. Being able to inquire about the status of the printer is useful, and if a small enough web server is available, it could offer a convenient interface.
This isn't just theory. Tektronics, for example, includes a web server in its 780 color laser printer. Their server allows you to configure the printer, access documentation, inquire about printer status--including toner levels--and includes links for ordering supplies. I am sure the cost of the web server is offset by supplies revenue and decreased support costs.
The most popular web server for traditional web sites is Apache. Apache is full-featured, very configurable and very reliable. It has proven itself in the general-purpose web server market and has been adopted by major players, including IBM.
Apache's design requires it to spawn (fork and exec) a separate task for each simultaneous connection. This is not necessarily a bad design, but in the embedded world, it is likely that you will need something that uses fewer resources--an average memory footprint in the tens of thousands of bytes rather than in the megabytes, for example.
Boa is a tiny web server that also offers extremely high performance. It is specifically designed to run on UNIX-like systems, which includes Linux, as well as the *BSD systems. To get all the legal stuff out of the way, Boa is available for free and is covered by the GNU Public License (GPL). The source code for Boa, as well as documentation, can be found at http://www.boa.org/.
The following point taken from the Boa web site shows why I have decided to write about Boa:
Boa currently seems to be the favorite web server in the embedded crowd, and embedded Linux, despite all the marketing hype, really is a big deal. Supposedly, an older version of Boa, v0.92q, runs in 32K address space on m68k, like used in uClinux. See http://www.uclinux.net/.
Unlike traditional web servers, Boa is single-tasking. What this means is that it internally multiplexes all of the ongoing HTTP connections rather than the more traditional forking of multiple copies for each connection. It must, of course, fork separate processes to execute CGI scripts, but that is well defined and under the control of the system designer.
My use of Boa has been to handle very low-volume HTTP connections on the order of a few hundred to a few thousand pages served per day. The Boa web page, however, claims that tests show Boa capable of handling several thousand hits per second on a 300MHz Pentium and dozens of hits per second on a 20MHz 386/SX. Thus, for most applications, it's unlikely that performance is going to be an issue.
Of course, in an embedded application, it is likely that the primary job of the processor will be handling something other than running a web server. What this means is that running Boa is not likely to significantly decrease the resources available for the primary purpose of the embedded CPU.
This small size and high performance doesn't come for free. However, what Boa doesn't do generally woudn't be missed for an embedded system. Here is the short list:
The REMOTE_HOSTNAME environment variable is not set. What this means is that a CGI program doesn't have the name of the accessing host available. The REMOTE_ADDR variable is available, so if the CGI program actually cares, it can do its own lookup.
Boa does not support server-side includes. SSI is slow because the text of each requested document must be searched for each request.
The ability to change root directories (chroot) is not available.
Rather than offering access control features, Boa just uses Linux/UNIX filesystem permissions to determine what can be served. This is generally not a problem as Boa can be configured to run as any user ID you desire.
Because Boa is so compact, it is also very easy to install and configure. The details are on the Boa web site, but if you are familiar with installing typical tarballs, Boa will be no surprise. The basic steps are:
Download the software.
Unpack using tar xvzf.
Optionally edit the defines.h file in the src directory to change the default SERVER_ROOT. This isn't mandatory; you can also specify the server root on the command line when you start Boa.
Run the configure script (./configure) and then type make to build the executable. Recently, I built Boa on my laptop. The make step took less than 11 seconds.
Edit the configuration file, boa.conf, to set up your local configuration.
Make sure the appropriate directories (such as the log directory) exist and have the proper permissions.
Start Boa from the command line. Use the -c command-line option to specify the server root if you didn't set SERVER_ROOT to the desired directory location in define.h.
That's it. You should have a working version of Boa. Point your web browser at it and see what happens. If it doesn't work, check the error_log file.

Apache embedded webserver
Boa is a really good webserver but it doesn't offers all the options and the modules of an apache webserver, so who says apache can't be embedded?, I have done it with, foXServe a software platform for fox LX 832 SBC. I have also ported mod_ssl for cryptographt, mod_dav for mounting it as a web drive and PHP for pre-processing so a full mini server in just 66mmx72mm and with a lot more then BOA!!! Apache 1.3.x if right configured is not bigger than BOA. Consider also that Apache architecture is more scalable than BOA and can support more connections if fine tuned!

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Art gallery owner charged with theft
Date: August 28, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The owner of a St. Armands Circle art gallery has been charged with selling more than $250,000 worth of art on consignment and not paying the owners of those works of art.
Robert Preiss, owner of R&R Bond Gallery, was arrested Aug. 28 on grand theft and scheme to defraud charges.
Police say he sold several pieces of art, including the Salvador Dali sculpture, "Winged Triton 2/19," and never told the owners that they were sold and kept the proceeds for himself.
Preiss was jailed on a $25,000 bond.
Contact Robin Roy at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- This case bears striking similarity to the case of Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama V. Tamara Bane Gallery (owned by Robert Bane and Tamara Feuer-Bane). this case was reported in the LA Times in between the 2007 federal court trial and bankruptcy. In this case, that has dragged on for years in Chapter 7, Bane et al committed numerous art and financial frauds including embezzling. Like, Salander, Bane and his wife live a lavish lifestyle in a Beverly Hills compound and there is extensive first class traveling abroad. The art fraudsters really know how to abuse the system in particular the courts' process that they cut holes in. Google "Tamara Bane Gallery" or visit sorayama.net
