Apache User Authentication
Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April of 1996. The Netcraft February 2000 Web Server Survey found that over 58% of the web sites on the Internet are using Apache, thus making it more widely used than all other web servers combined. This success can be attributed to the fact that Apache provides a robust and commercial-grade reference implementation of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Also, it is reliable, configurable, highly scalable, well documented, open source and free.
First, you must have Apache and the htpasswd utility installed on your Linux machine. If you do not, you can download the latest copy of Apache (version 1.3.12 is available now) from the Apache Organization web site and install it on your machine. htpasswd comes with Apache.
Authentication is a simple yet very important principle—the client sends its name and password to the server (see Figure 1). Apache checks if the credentials are valid, and if so, returns the requested page (see Figure 2).
If the user is not allowed to access the page or the supplied password is not valid, Apache returns a 401 status (i.e., unauthorized access). The browser will then ask the user to retry their user name and password (see Figure 3).
Restricting access to documents is usually done based on either the host name of the browser or user credentials (user name and password). The decision to adopt either method depends on your environment settings. For example, if you want to restrict documents within a limited environment such as a department, you can use the client host name. Otherwise, if you want to grant access on an individual basis, or if the people who are allowed access are dispersed, you would then require a user name and a password.
In order to set user authentication using a user name and a password, we need to follow two steps. First, we create a file containing the user names and passwords. Then, we inform the server which resources are to be protected and which users are allowed to access them.
The first step towards configuring authentication is to set up a list of users and their corresponding passwords. This list is saved in a file called, for example, users. This file should not be saved under the root directory for security reasons. Therefore, for my setup, I saved it under /etc/httpd. For an organized setting, you can create a directory under /etc/httpd, perhaps called users-files, and save the file in it. The file format is similar to the standard UNIX password file, consisting of a list of user names and an encrypted password for each, separated by a colon.
htpasswd is a utility supplied with the Apache package that allows us to create a user's file containing user passwords in order to add or modify them. On my machine, powered by Red Hat 6.1, Apache 1.3.9 and htpasswd were installed as part of the standard installation. To see how htpasswd works, type htpasswd at the shell prompt and the following messages will be returned:
Usage: htpasswd [-cmdps] passwordfile username<\n> htpasswd -b[cmdps] passwordfile username password -c Create a new file.<\n> -m Force MD5 encryption of the password. -d Force CRYPT encryption of the password (default). -p Do not encrypt the password (plaintext). -s Force SHA encryption of the password. -b Use the password from the command line rather than prompting for it. On Windows and TPF systems the '-m' flag is used by default. On all other systems, the '-p' flag will probably not work.
According to the usage statement, to create a new users file and add the user ibrahim to the file /etc/httpd/users, we type the following command:
htpasswd -c -b /etc/httpd/users ibrahim LJ*2000-ihThe -c flag is only used the first time we use htpasswd to create a new users file. When we run htpasswd with the -b flag (please see the Security Issues section), we will not be prompted to enter a password for ibrahim since it was passed from the command line. Other users can be added to the existing file in the same way, except that the -c argument is not needed since the file already exists. If this option is used when adding other users, the file is over written and the old users are lost.
After I created a "web account" for myself, I added a few other accounts and my /etc/httpd/users file looked like:
ibrahim:40gvm/lYXsk4a chady:XygEnj0pSDx9A julie:3zwRhLJDrr/9s carla:IfPYPtrekJLxE karine:jeM9XkbalFaTA
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.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

UCK 2.0: Tailor Made Ubuntu CDs
Version 2.0 of the Ubuntu Customization Kit (UCK) has just been released. The kit gives useres the ability to create customized Ubuntu Live CDs.
A graphical wizard is available to help users create modified language versions. A collection of scripts helps users to remove or add packages, and change the CD content or initial RAM disk of the live system.
Besides Ubuntu systems with the Gnome desktop, the Customization Kit can also create live CDs with the KDE version Kubuntu, and of Edubuntu. The current version also has enhanced support for the Xfce desktop to produce Xubuntu CDs. The developers have also spread functions over individual scripts and improved logging. The official announcement has more details
The kit is available as a source code archive and as a Debian package on the project homepage. Bug reports can be submitted to the Ubuntu project via a Launchpad system page.

New firmware coming
Canon has posted a article in their forum indicating that a firmware fix for the 5D Mark III and the 1dx is being tested to speed up autofocus when using the AF assist liight on a Canon Speedlight. Many users have noted that focus is slow to be achieved compared with older models. A quote from their post is given below.
"Canon has confirmed that, depending upon the shooting conditions, it may take slightly longer for the EOS 5D Mark III and EOS-1D X digital SLR cameras to acquire focus when using the Speedlite's AF Assist Beam, compared with that of the EOS 5D Mark II and 1dx digital SLR cameras using the Speedlite's AF Assist Beam. We are developing a firmware update to enhance the focusing feature for the EOS 5D Mark III and the EOS-1D X. The schedule for release of this firmware update will be announced shortly."
Canon has started a new campaign to raise awareness about counterfit products. The ones that affect most photographers are batteries and chargers. Unfortunately, they only give vague hints of things to check for when you suspect that you have a counnterfit product. The main point is that you should buy from a established dealer.
There is a hotline setup to report issues with counterfit batteries.
In the USA, you can report any questionable sources or purchases to
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., January 15, 2013 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has rolled out a consumer-safety initiative that will promote awareness of a consumer electronics industry-wide issue: the risks of using counterfeit accessories for digital cameras and camcorders, especially batteries and chargers. Counterfeit products are fake replicas of the real products, designed to take advantage of the superior value of the real product. These fake accessories are produced in a manner that is increasingly more difficult for average consumers to identify. Purchase of these products can lead to potentially dangerous results. Unlike genuine Canon products, counterfeit accessories may not meet government and industry safety standards and may overheat, smoke, melt, ignite and may cause bodily injury and property damage.
In support of this initiative, a digital campaign, with the tagline, "Play it safe. Power your Canon with Canon Power" was launched on January 8, advising consumers to avoid counterfeits by purchasing products through established retail channels. In addition, the Canon USA Website has been enlisted to educate consumers on the Canon batteries and chargers most frequently counterfeited and to provide helpful tips to spot them.
"Canon takes safety seriously and, as good corporate citizens, we want to inform and educate so that consumers are aware of the risks counterfeit products pose," said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies & Communications Group, Canon U.S.A. "We will be rolling out an initiative over the next few months, encouraging consumers to help play it safe with genuine Canon power when making an investment in a camera or camcorder and its accessories, so that they may continue to enjoy the quality experience they expect from us."
For more information, visit www.usa.canon.com/aboutcounterfeits.
After a decided lack of exciting Canon DSLR announcements at CES, the next big show coming up will be CP+ from January 31 – Feb 3 2013. Canon and Nikon each have huge spaces reserved for their exhibits at the Pacifico Yokohama, Japan exihibition hall and traditionally have made some major announcements at CP+.
Will the long awaited EF 200-400mm f/4 L finally be announced? It was two years ago in 2011 at CP+ that Canon announced that lens development program, so what better place to announnce the lens formally.
Many are also thinking a 70D or the 7D Mark II is due.
We do not have any inside information or leaks at this point, so this is just pure speculation, but Canon is almost certain to announce some new products.
New lenses are the toughest products to predict, but recent new lens rumors beyond the 200-400mm f/4 L might find fufillment at CP+ as well.
Expect more to come and rumors will abound as the show gets near. If there is to be a major announcement, it should happen in the next 10 days.

Associated Press
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A Montgomery judge is considering whether to extend his order that has kept the governor from signing legislation to create private school tax credits.
Gov. Robert Bentley had planned a signing ceremony Tuesday afternoon for what he called the best education bill passed by the Legislature in years. But Circuit Judge Charles Price temporarily put any action on the bill on hold because of a lawsuit filed by the Alabama Education Association. The judge told attorneys to be in his courtroom Wednesday morning for more discussion.
The bill provides tax credits for parents who decide to put their children in private schools rather than failing public schools. AEA contends the Legislature violated the open meetings law and its own operating rules when it passed the bill Feb. 28.

Williamstown, Mass. - April 5, 2012 - The Springfield College women's lacrosse team rallied from an 8-2 deficit with 18:26 left in regulation to tie things at 9-9 with 4:51 to play, only to have Williams College prevail, 10-9, on Thursday evening.
Springfield, which has now lost three of its last four, drops to 5-6 this season.
Meghan Flanagan paced the Pride with three goals, while Kelly Gallo added two goals and an assist. Michelle Dorsey chipped in with two goals, and Kerstin Lindoorth recorded three draw controls, as did Flanagan. Between the pipes, Anne Versprille made nine saves.
Kaitlin Ellis and Margie Fulton each scored hat tricks in the win for Williams, while Sam Weinstein and Lilly Wellenbach added two markers. Emily Whicker was credited with a game-best six draw controls and Ali Pitch posted 12 saves in goal for the win.
After Flanagan scored the game's first on an unassisted strike 1:20 into the game, the Ephs poured in the next four markers to take a 4-1 lead with 17:32 on the clock. After Gallo finally struck back for Springfield at the 15:44 mark, Williams closed out the half with a free-position goal from Wellenbach to take a 5-2 lead.
The Ephs continued to power past the Pride, scoring the first three goals of the second half to earn an 8-2 lead with 18:46 on the clock.
Dorsey found the back of the cage at 16:43, kick-starting a 5-0 burst to make it an 8-7 game following another Flanagan strike. Weinstein scored Williams' first goal in over 10 minutes to give the hosts a two-goal cushion, only to have Gallo and Flanagan bury unassisted goals to tie the game for the first time since 27:39 left in the first half.
Weinstein scored what would prove to be the game-winner on a free-position attempt with 1:58 on the clock.
The Pride will play again on Saturday afternoon when it squares off against Wellesley at 12:00 pm

---- — A Beverly police sting operation cited seven stores and bars for serving alcohol to minors, an unusually high number of violations that police attribute to the increasing use of fake IDs available online.
The seven violations represent more than 10 percent of the 69 liquor license holders in the city.
"Seven is more than we want to find, but the good news is that most of the businesses are doing the right thing," police Chief Mark Ray said. "Most of the businesses did a good job and did not sell (to minors)."
Police conducted the operation over two days in October using volunteers under 21.
The seven establishments found to have served to underage customers were Alexander's Liquors on Elliott Street, Crossing's Corner Market on Beckford Street, Depot Liquors on Enon Street, Corner Variety on Hale Street, Kitty O'Sheas on Cabot Street, Ryal Side Liquors on Bridge Street and Sports Page Pub on Rantoul Street.
The city's Licensing Board handed out three-day suspensions to six of the license holders during its meeting on Nov. 8. The hearing on the Sports Page Pub was continued to the board's meeting next month.
The board also gave out a three-day license suspension to the Franco-American Club on Park Street, for overserving alcohol to a patron at a Halloween party.
Ray and Sgt. William Page, the Police Department's liaison to the Licensing Board, said some of the violations were due to the proliferation of fake out-of-state IDs that can be purchased easily online. Page said police have confiscated about 40 fake IDs.
"They get them online, coming out of China," Page said.
Ray said the fake IDs are not only illegal, but users are risking identify theft by giving their Social Security numbers and credit card information to the companies that sell them.
Page said police and the Licensing Board plan to hold a seminar for all of the city's liquor license holders in January to teach the proper procedures for checking and identifying proper IDs.
"We're trying to work with these businesses to keep these kids from doing this," he said.

Canisius senior standout running back Qadree Ollison will announce his college decision today in a ceremony at the Delaware Ave. school.
The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Ollison will announce where he is verbally committing from among his five finalists -- Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse and Wisconsin -- at 3:15 p.m. in Canisius' auditorium. Ollison was offered scholarships by 15 Division I (Football Bowl Subdivision) programs.
The announcement comes one day after the Niagara Falls' native's 17th birthday.
Conjecture by many, including myself, has Pitt and Penn State as his finalists. Ollison said during the summer that he would make official visits to both schools.
Last Monday, Ollison made his official visit to Pittsburgh, which included watching Pitt lose to Florida State at Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ollison did not visit Penn State this past Saturday, as was reported (and is still being reported) by some outlets on Twitter; I was told Ollison did not make the trip due to a travel/timing situation that included Canisius playing its opener Friday night in Rochester.
There are also strong ties to both areas at Canisius. Coach Rich Robbins is a Pittsburgh-area native. Acclaimed Penn State senior lineman John Urschel is a Canisius graduate who has been in frequent contact with Ollison.
Ollison, who was the Buffalo News co-Player of the Year (with teammate lineman Ryan Hunter) last season, broke 2012 grad Mercer Timmis' Canisius career points scoring record (he now has 244 to break the mark of 238) after scoring four touchdowns and running for 195 yards on 20 carries in the Crusaders' 42-15 season-opening win at McQuaid.
Ollison is now tied with Timmis atop the all-time touchdown list with 39, and he is 203 yards away from Timmis' career rushing mark.
Today's announcement is just a verbal commitment. The official signing period begins Feb. 5, 2014.

Here's how to maximize study time and minimize stress during EXAMS
1) Snack on 'brain food'
Keep away from junk food and opt for a bowl of nuts instead. You need to fuel your
body while you study so make sure you eat nutritious food that has been proven to
help your brain focus such as fish, nuts, yogurt and blueberries.
2) Take a break
Don't force yourself to sit studying for 24 hours a day. If you were training for a
marathon, you wouldn't try and run 24 hours a day.
3) Explain your answers to others
This is one of my favorites- Explaining material to others is my favorite way to study.
If you really know the material, you should be able to repeat it and teach it to your
friends. This not only proves to yourself that you know it, it raises your confidence!

DALLAS - Former President George W. Bush is displaying his portraits of world leaders in the first exhibit of his work as an artist.
The portraits that include everyone from a grim-looking Russian President Vladimir Putin to a smiling likeness of the late Czech playwright and President Vaclav Havel are part of an exhibit opening Saturday at the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas. He even did a self-portrait.
The exhibit called "The Art of Leadership: A President's Personal Diplomacy" runs through June 3.
In an introductory video to the exhibit, Bush says that painting the portraits let him convey his feelings about the subjects.
Bush started painting in 2012. The exhibit also includes gifts given to Bush by many of the world leaders, along with photographs.
Here's a handful of selections:

The Express-Star
The Economic Development Council (EDC) responded to recent questions from local business owners this week stating there was a need for the expenditures to stimulate growth in town.
The EDC gave money to a project to fund $50,000 in dirt work to attract restaurant chain Interurban to the site east of the Best Western across from Walmart, as well as a $100,000 loan to fund a water retention system under the new Hampton Inn site.
The money allocations stimulated several existing business owners in town to ask if the grants were necessary to stimulate growth or whether it created more competition in an already competitive arena.
Ed Hicks, owner of Eduardo's Mexican Restraunt, said, "If they want to come in, I welcome it. But I don't want tax dollars helping my competition. I've opened three restaurants in Chickasha, the first one being Taco Mayo in 1979, and A&E Grill more recently. We took out a $750,000 loan from the bank and opened it up. Not a single dime from any local agency."
Hicks explained that his support of the local Chickasha Football team meals, the thousands donated over time to help fund the local 4th of July firework display, and multiple other countless organizations that his businesses have helped through the past 30 years of being in business are what he feels is one of the fundamental concerns with bringing in other chains that may not contribute to the local economy and general "good" of Chickasha.
"Bring in some manufacturing businesses or something that can really generate some better paying jobs and more people to the area. Something that brings in some more families and really stimulates growth. I just don't see how any of this is a concern of the EDC's to give money to support businesses that we already have," said Hicks.
Christy Elkins the recently board appointed President and CEO for the EDC said; "One of the first things I plan to accomplish is to develop a business retention program and other incentives to help existing businesses not only monetarily but with other technology too. These local businesses are extremely important to me, but they also must realize that the more we have to offer, the more people we can attract overall to the area."
Elkins said she hoped to attract more manufacturing and other higher paying positions to the area soon to help provide a better quality of life to the people of Chickasha.
"It's not that it is not good now, it is... that is why I wanted to move my family here, but I really think we can make it a better place to live. I think if we take a closer look at what is coming out of our technology center and the university and try to embrace them so that we can keep the younger age group wanting to stay here and possibly open a business... that would be great too."
With all the concern, the EDC hopes a recent move on their part will pay off and provide a more clear and concise answer to several of the aforementioned issues. They hired a business out of Texas called Catalyst to provide a retail analysis of Chickasha and to outline what businesses are needed in town, where locals shop, and how often they shop there, as well as the flow of travel of the local population. The company uses technology to capture images of licenses plates at certain key locations in town and compiles data to show the EDC who does what, when, and where. The company will also provide a GAP analysis that will show what items shoppers leave town to find and what type of retailers would be a good fit for the local business scene.
"Once we receive the data back from them we can try to better assess these concerns. I also want to make it very clear that the work done at the Interurban site was going to need to be done regardless of who went into that particular site," said Elkins.
Other new businesses that are coming to town are the Boomerang Dinner and Game Stop.

The car stops. Within seconds you're opening the vehicle's passenger door and eyeing the driver.
A short conversation ensues concerning the direction and destination of both parties. But in truth the verbal exchange simply masks the more important stuff, because the decision to accept a lift is never a small one. You're checking out the driver's appearance and the state of the vehicle; you listen to tone; smell the air. And if they've got company, there's many more judgements to make.
Rugby legend
Sometimes the decision is easy and delightful. For example, whilst hitching north of Aberystwyth I opened the door of a large gleaming Mercedes only to set eyes on a world rugby legend sitting at the wheel. Then there's the bizarre, like the time I slung back a minibus door to be greeted by a group of singing builders (with an unusual passion for scaffolding) . And of course, the real challenges; when your sixth sense (which is developed through experience) suggests something isn't right.
And that 'dynamic' of meeting new people is the same in business. Entrepreneurs cannot wait for people to come to them. This necessarily means going out to see people and finding yourself in unfamiliar territory and different situations. This stretches the comfort zone and initially puts you out of control, but with practice and experience patterns of behaviour emerge and confidence grows.
It's accepted that people are typically far less relaxed when they meet others for the first time. These first few critical seconds and minutes can be awkward. But just like the hitchhiker, the entrepreneur has a vested interest in developing their judgement skills, using time efficiently and being liked by people they meet. So get on with it!
Judgement Skills
First opinions about people are typically formed within 7 seconds. As a hitchhiker I rarely spent much time talking about directions before getting in the vehicle. And I reckon I can count on one hand the lift offers I actually rejected. And these ratios reflect almost exactly my first-time meetings with people in business. Within 10 seconds I've decided the person in front of me isn't a complete lunatic and it's likely that the time will be well spent.
As with the hitchhiker, it's important not to just listen to what people say when you first meet them. If you're in their office what does the rest of the room tell you about them? How well do they dress? How much interest do they really take in you? How do they behave towards others who may be around? Answers to these questions provide clues about the person/people with whom you are dealing and you are able to adjust your own behaviour accordingly. You'll find many other articles within this Blog that focus on the issue of Human Behaviour.
Getting people to like you
My unexpected meeting with Welsh rugby legend Gareth Edwards (and scorer of the greatest try in rugby history) will live with me forever. But throughout that memorable journey winding through the valleys, I enjoyed listening to arguably the most talented Welsh rugby player ever to have lived, his take on that famous Barbarians try, how his career started and of course why he picked me up. As such, Gareth did most of the talking and I just listened. This simple dynamic works in a very powerful way and builds relationships because it is based on the following principle:
…the most important person in our own world is ourselves and given the opportunity we typically 'like' to talk about ourselves.
Within the pages of the must read book 'Influence: Science & Practice', author Robert Cialdini devotes a whole chapter to the issue of 'Liking'. Critically, we like people who take a genuine interest in us and the easiest way to demonstrate this is to ask questions and listen to what people say.
The entrepreneur who bothers to take a genuine interest in prospects, customers, suppliers and staff makes people feel good about themselves and thus builds stronger relationships. By contrast, the person who talks endlessly about themselves falls into a common trap. They bore quickly and struggle to build quality relationships.
As a hitchhiker it was always my way to encourage the driver to talk about themselves. Not only was it interesting to learn about their lives, but they typically drove me further (Gareth very kindly went an extra 20 miles).
However, people are different and some are cautious about revealing information. When I hitched some didn't want to talk at all. But by tuning into situations it was possible to adopt appropriate strategies that reflected the needs of the individual with whom I travelled.
Key Learning Points: Regularly meeting new people makes you a better judge of others and situations. Actively seek non-verbal and verbal clues to help you assess others and create a positive influence by asking questions and listening to the answers.

Westchester PD
Actor Rip Torn was arrested in December 2006 in Westchester, New York and charged with drunk driving after his 1995 Chevy Cavalier collided with a tractor-trailer. When state police arrived the 75-year-old actor refused a Breathalyzer before being taken to a Somers police station where the this mug shot was taken.
Actor Elmore "Rip" Torn appeared in court on Monday morning, disheveled and bearded, the Register Citizen reports, and by Tuesday, he is expected to be in a New York alcohol rehab facility.
Torn was arrested on Friday evening after drunkenly breaking into a Connecticut bank while carrying a loaded revolver, according to a statement from police. He was in custody through the weekend, the Register reports. On Monday, his lawyer argued that he did not brandish the weapon.
When Connecticut State Police responded to The Litchfield Bancorp, a bank in Salisbury, Conn., they found a broken window in the rear of the building and an intoxicated Torn walking around inside.
Torn is a resident of the small Connecticut town where the incident took place.
When he appeared in court on Monday, he did not enter a plea and his attorney said he would be able to post his $100,000 bond Monday. He is due back in court on Feb. 17.
Drunken misbehavior is nothing new to the 78-year-old actor. -- He was convicted of drunken driving in 2008, pleaded guilty to being ability-impaired in 2007, and was acquitted by a jury in a 2004 drunken driving case, according to The Register Citizen.
After his 2008 conviction, he avoided jail time by agreeing to attend a state-approved weekend substance abuse program, according to the paper.
For this latest incident, Torn was charged with burglary in the 1st degree, criminal mischief in the 3rd degree, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, trespassing in the 1st degree and possession of a firearm without a permit, and is being held on a $100,000 bond.

Set in modern day locations from New York City to London, Legendary � The Box is the story of Charles Deckard, a thief who unwittingly opens the mythical Pandora's Box and begins a war only he can end.
Legendary is a Shooter/First-Person Shooter video game for Xbox 360 developed by Spark Unlimited and published by Gamecock Media Group on September 30, 2008. It's rated Mature by the ESRB and 41 of our users have voted it 3.9 out of 5 stars.
Our newest cheats for Legendary were added January 15, 2009. We also have the game available on PC, PlayStation 3, in addition to Xbox 360.
In episode 8, therei s a scene where you will fight two Minotaurs at the same time. Unfortunately, there is no Aniform Control Device to prevent them from temporarily attacking you. When you enter the room, sprint to pick up the weapons, molotovs and ammo on the floor. A Minotaur will bust through the wall right behind you (from the direction you came from), so be sure to dodge his first attack and run into the room he came out from. The reason this room is a great hiding spot is because when the second Minotaur comes to join the battle, only one Minotaur can come into that area at a time, allowing you to only have to deal with one before dealing with the other. Unfortunately, since this room is so small, it'll be hard to shoot them in the back (where they're the most vulnerable). The best thing to do is to use your heavy machine gun, and keep firing at their faces. Also, be sure to use your Animus bursts and Molotovs if they become overwhelming. Since you're not able to shoot at their backs, it will take plenty of ammunition to take care of both of them, which is why it's imperative you pick up the ammo on the floor before the battle starts. If you don't, and you end up running out of ammo during the fight, you're stuck with your axe, and that will get you nowhere against the Minotaurs. It may also help if you can somehow hang on to the rocket launcher you needed just before this scene to destroy the Gryphon before entering the building.
The axe is the easiest way to kill a werewolf. if you keep hacking away, they will back up giving you many free shots. At the end, be sure to chop their head off.

Ask any official in the business of bringing jobs to Muskogee and they will tell you our city has several assets that are valuable attractions to businesses.
We have the Port of Muskogee, Davis Field airport, access to rail and highways, and the area has people ready to work.
It takes vision and leadership to turn assets into real jobs.
Our leaders must go out on a limb and create a plan that will take advantage of our assets.
Our leaders must convince us to be patient — we can't assume jobs are around the corner. We have to prepare for the long-term health and growth of our community.
Our leaders must be more concerned with the next few generations than any upcoming election.
That's what this city needs to grow.
The city has the resources to turn major decisions into reality.
The city has the City of Muskogee Foundation ready to be convinced that paying now will benefit us in the future.
For instance, Davis Field may need a control tower to help bring industry to the area surrounding the airport.
Davis Field might need railroad spur lines built into the airport.
Davis Field might need sewer and utilities built now.
Each one of these ideas are gambles.
We would be spending money now in hopes of attracting business later.
There are no guarantees.
That's why we challenge our mayor, City Council, city manager, the City of Muskogee Foundation, and Action In Muskogee leaders to formulate a plan.
Convince us to be bold and spend now, but be patient as we wait for the payoffs.
True leadership must have vision and courage to move our city forward.
Vision. That's what Muskogee needs today to prepare for our tomorrows.

Adam Melling Powers Way to Victory at Sunset Beach, Re-qualifying for ASP World Tour; Seabass Extends Triple Crown Lead
Adam Melling has a knack for late-season dramatics. Just like last year, he arrived to Hawaii needing at least one huge result in one of the three stops in the Triple Crown of Surfing in order to remain on the prestigious – and lucrative – ASP World Tour. Taking notes from his Oakley teammate, Sebastian "Seabass" Zietz, who won the event at Haleiwa the week prior, Melling found his groove and improved with each heat on his way to winning the Vans World Cup of Surfing at Sunset Beach.

- Antonellis' distillery is a prestigious reality that recovers the century-old tradition of marcs distillation. Antonellis grappa is a distinguishable and remarkable product thanks to its high quality and packaging. Its label, with the uncommon design and graphics, lets you imagine the scents and fragrances even before tasting the grappa. The copper evokes the alembics used to still grappa with a traditional and unchanged method: low temperature vapour to favor the extraction and selection of the best scents and most delicate fragrances.

James Lofton on the comeback game.
"It's funny, because we had played them week before. They were a good team; obviously, when somone is up on you like that, you're not thinking, 'We can come back.'
"When we started second half the way we did, it was, 'OK, this is about over, I guess."
On the special bond that team had:
"I remember when I got there in '89. The had made the AFC championship game the year before. So a fire had been lit, from the time Jim Kelly arrived, and it was just starting to grow. I think everyone could sense that. I remember being on the sidelines and hearing that MIghty Taco song. I remember actually singing it. You had the "Let's Go Buffalo" chants. There was a wave of enthusiasm."
"We found unique ways to win every week. Yeah, we had a great offense, but good defensive players and really special special teams players in Steve Tasker and Mark Pike. So there were a lot of elements that always added up, and then a unique coach in Marv Levy.
"He was probably the smallest coach in the NFL, we never talk about this. He also he seemed like the oldest and he was the smartest."
On feeling like the crowd lifted the team.
"You certainly could. I always go back to the first time we ran the no-huddle. It was the 1990 season, the home opener against the Colts. We moved down the field, gained 50 yards or whatever, and we had to call timeout because the crowd was too loud. We couldn't even hear Jim screaming the signals out. They were going crazy. It was like, what are we watching? We love it, we don't know what it is and we're crazy about it.There was that infectious quality about the city all the time.
"Remember how everybody seemed to have a TV or radio show? That speaks volumes about the interest in that team."
Lofton said one of the reasons Andre Reed was able to roam free and score three TDs was that the Oilers paid close attention to him.
"The week before, we had gone down there and I caught seven or eight passes (it was actually six for 75 yards). They decided to roll coverages over toward me. They kind of left Andre singled up in the slot, and people don't normally do that. He had two or three TDs on plays that should have been covered by standard coverages."

The Seattle Seahakws host the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football this week, which you can watch on KONG 6/16.
Who could forget the last time these two met on MNF at CenturyLink (formerly Qwest) Field? It was November 27, 2006. A snowstorm made the game even more awesome, but ultimately paralyzed traffic. Some fans didn't get home until early the next morning.
The Seahawks won 34-24.

Born Natalie Hershlag in Jerusalem, Israel, on June 9, 1981, the only child and her family immigrated to the United States when she was still a toddler; first to Washington D.C. and Connecticut before settling on New York's Long Island. Portman loved dancing and singing lessons as a child, and was already dreaming of the Broadway stage when she was discovered at age 10 by a modeling scout at a local pizza place. When she expressed her interests in acting rather than modeling, she was put in touch with acting agents and began developing her dramatic skills at theater camps. In 1993, she landed her first professional acting job in an off-Broadway musical production. Less than a year later, the... Continue Bio >>

First, it was the Democrats who skipped NY 27 in reserving airtime for this fall's big race involving incumbent Democrat Kathleen C. Hochul.
Now, Republicans appear to be putting the race on the back burner, too.
Roll Call, the Capitol Hill newspaper, reported Wednesday that the National Republican Congressional Committee -- the panel charged with electing more Republicans to the House of Representatives -- has also failed to reserve any airtime in the Hochul district. The seat is considered vulnerable in 2012 because of the significant Republican advantage provided by reapportionment, but so far neither party is gearing up for an "air war" on television.
The move does not preclude, however, purchase of airtime in the future.
Meanwhile, Washington sources familiar with the Democratic counterpart to the NRCC -- the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee -- say nothing should be read into the fact that they also have reserved no airtime for the Hochul effort. They say New York is not yet on their radar screen, and to stay tuned.

GOP also biding time on Hochul district airtime

Campaign Finance & Elections
Can the government play favorites when it comes to freedom of speech? The Goldwater Institute didn't think so, and challenged Arizona's system of public campaign financing all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The resulting victory struck down similar provisions in states across the U.S., preventing governments from gaming the political system in favor of government-funded candidates, and keeping elections free and open.

One of three early enrollees for the spring semester, DeMarcus Walker is going to be thrown to the Division I fire March 20 when the Seminoles start practice.
Despite his inexperience as a college student-athlete, Walker will be asked to contribute, push for playing time and provide depth to a defensive ends depth chart that is looking for a host of youngsters to step up in the wake of off-season losses of Brandon Jenkins, Toshmon Stevens, Tank Carradine and Bjoern Werner.
Walker appears prepared for the tall task. A standout pass rusher from Jacksonville, Fla. with ideal size and motor, Walker was one of the nation's top defensive ends prospects and had scholarship offers from many of the nation's top programs.
[Video: Walker's official highlight reel]
At 6-foot-3 and 265 pounds, Walker could also be a force at defensive tackle if he keeps growing and getting stronger.
"Demarcus is a big physical guy; strong," FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. "Was coached very well in high school and because of his size and girth and his demeanor and frame has a chance."
Recruited by new FSU defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt when he was the secondary coach at Alabama, Walker gave a verbal pledge to the Crimson Tide Aug. 24, 2012 and appeared ready to join the defending national champions' treasure trove of defensive talent in Tuscaloosa.
But when Pruitt was hired by the Seminoles, Walker quietly started reconsidering his allegiance to Alabama. He eventually shocked everyone when he de-committed from the Crimson Tide on the night of their national championship victory over Notre Dame and enrolled at Florida State Jan. 9.
The recruiting flip was met with a great deal of excitement from FSU fans but perhaps nobody was more thrilled with Walker's decision than new 'Noles defensive ends coach Sal Sunseri. When he was the defensive coordinator at Tennessee last year, Sunseri put Walker through an NFL-style work out when he was on campus for a summer visit and came away impressed.
"I immediately told Jeremy, I said, 'No matter what we do we've got to get this young man in the program,'" Sunseri said. "He's explosive [and] he's strong. Let me just tell you this, he is every bit 260-270 right now and this young man can run. The thing that is exciting about him is that he's doing everything right right now and we are going to keep that going.
"He's an explosive young man; he's a dang good football player."
Walker will wear No. 44 at Florida State.

Staff-recommended reading from the
KPL catalog.
Our #1 priority is service to young children, birth to five, to prepare them to enter school ready to learn. We have several new services to support these youngest patrons as well as their older siblings.
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten…. it sounds like a tremendous number but if you think about five years, a few books each night before bed, it is quite doable. Daily reading and regular library visits are great preparation for school.
We are distributing the Kalamazoo Early Learning 2014 Calendar. Paper copies are available at all library locations as well as our website. Each of the 365 days has an activity…. January 27: Talk about different materials: paper, cloth, wood, metal, etc. March 12: start each day at the window and talk about the weather.
Ebooks for children are now available through our website. Some parents want to introduce their young children to technology, others do not. Picture books on an iPad won't replace the print picture book experience, but can be a nice complement.
We've made some changes in the children's room at Central. Some materials have been relocated for ease in use, but the biggest change is The Story Place, an activity room with fun toys where families can stay and play on their library visit. We will also use the room for storytimes and other programs for young children.
Even if you don't have young children in your home, I hope you will visit our new room and read more about these new services on our website. Share them with children and parents you know.
The Friends of KPL will hold their first Bag-of-Books Sale of the year on Saturday, January 25, at the Central Library. The sale begins at 9 am when the library opens and will end at 3:30 pm. Books are 10¢ each or $2.00 for a grocery bag full. Just like a library, books are arranged by categories including fiction, nonfiction, mystery, science fiction, among others... ...they aren't in alphabetical order by author though!
The sale will be in the auditorium; the Friends Bookstore on the lower level will also be open, so shop both places for inexpensive winter reading.
Of course while you are at the library, browse the shelves for a book or movie to borrow. You need your library card for that, money not needed.
We are good partners…. the Friends of KPL and KPL.
I like book lists... "best of" and favorites from reviewers, friends, and our staff. I always add more titles to my "list of books-to-read-sometime."
Here is another one: 2014 Michigan Notable Books
This list is announced each year by the Library of Michigan. The twenty books focusing on the state, notable residents, and events in our state's history are selected by a committee of folks from libraries, bookstores and related organizations.
I've read a few of these books and have added a few more to my list.

Riders in this news : Adeline BAUD ; Jessica LINDELL VIKARBY ; Lara GUT ; Maria PIETILAE-HOLMNER ; Marie-Michele GAGNON
It was the first giant slalom of the season and the first victory for Lara Gut. After she has won the first run, the racer of the Team Rossignol has kept the lead and finished ahead of Austrian's Kathrin Zettel (+0.84) and Germany's Viktoria Rebensburg (+1.28). It's her first victory in this discipline and Lara Gut was very satisfied: "It's the first race of the season and there's already a win, it's amazing. I'm pretty happy to bring a giant slalom victory back to Switzerland. It's a really nice feeling."
The results are good for all the Team Rossignol and most of the girls are happy to see that they could confirm their summer trainings. Maria Pietilae-Holmner ends 7th after two strong runs, Jessica Lindell Vikarby is 8th, Marie-Michele Gagnon 10th. The Canadian racer was happy to finish in the Top 10: "Overall I'm really happy to start the season like that – attacking. Especially in the first run, I made quite a few mistakes but I was still charging. I'm really happy with 10th. I was super excited to race today. I loved the crowd, the ambiance. I was just really happy to stop training and start racing."
Please also note the very good performance of Adeline Baud, 20th on the finish. She just comes back from a knee injury!
The next stage for the ladies will be in Levi for slalom (16th November).
