(le not sure how to start thread, so here's le boring prologue that I put no thought into)
Since the beginning of time, man has always required unity. It started with simple tribes, which led to cities, and eventually turned into civilizations. As time progressed, those civilizations broke off into more and more, and eventually turned into the modern-day world. You- yes you, are a leader of one of these countries. This is not easy, and requires heaps of responsibility.
Will you be an honorable leader, fighting honestly and respecting citizens? Or will you be ruthless, cheating through battles and taking citizens' freedom? Your choice.

Parks and Rec named a finalist for National Gold Medal Award
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Parks and Recreation Department received recognition as a National Gold Medal Award finalist by the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration (AAPRA) and the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA).
Kansas City's Parks and Recreation Department was one of only four communities to receive this prestigious designation within the "Class I" category, which included all U.S. parks and recreation departments serving populations of 250,000 or more.
"We are proud to be named a finalist for this very prestigious award," said John Fierro, president of the Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners. "It's exciting for all of us to be considered one of the top parks and recreation agencies in the nation. I particularly want to acknowledge our outstanding staff and dedicated volunteers for their efforts to help our department earn this recognition."
According to the NRPA, the Gold Medal Awards program honors U.S. communities that demonstrate excellence in parks and recreation through long-range planning, resource management, volunteerism, environmental stewardship, program development, professional development and agency recognition.
The Gold Medal Awards program separates award candidates into five categories, based on community population. Four finalists are chosen from each category. This year's finalists will compete for the Grand Plaque Award honors this summer, which will be announced during the NRPA's Annual Congress & Exposition in Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 1-3, 2011.
The other Class I finalists included Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation Department (N.C.); Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department (Fla.); and Portland Parks and Recreation (Ore.).

Post a reply to the thread: Just an observation about Alistair Overeem
Click here to log in
What Is Quinton Jackson's Nickname?

Will turn www.example.com into [URL]http://www.example.com[/URL].
Overroid was taught a lesson in humility and will not unveil his arrogance until he has another win under his belt. To me, he has seemed more confident than arrogant. When he is acting arrogant, it is always noticeable.
It is said that in most cases, people that are so outspoken and that apparently show a lot of self confidence and talk smack about others, are in reality insecure people. They talk shit and they try to believe what they actually say.
So maybe, that loss humbled him big time.
If you look, most of succesful people are actually very down to earth. They do not need to talk about how great they are, they simply show it.
I'm a big Overeem fan. I don't mind some trash-talking, like when AO fought Lesnar, it was mild, and Overeem was respectful afterwards. But he was too disrespectful to Silva before their fight IMO, I'm not totally upset that he got humbled.
I'm still a fan of Overeem, hopefully he'll just focus on training, and realize his potential.
'Reem had been busy helping Anderson Silva gameplan for Chris Weidman. Now that he's taught him his technique, I'm sure we'll see him in the ring again soon.
I think a loss to Browne spells the end of him as a top 20 fighter.
I'm not a Mir fan by any means, but he's a much, much better fighter than AO. Even though I think they're both guilty of juicing at different points of their careers, Mir has far more heart than AO ever will. I believe AO turned to juice to compensate. I also don't think his striking is nearly as good as he gets credit for.
I think AO peaked and we his current UFC contract might be his last...
I think "the Reem" is way too busy getting coping techniques from Frank burns. He learned to take having no chin in stride So hes the perfect coach for AO.
Sounds a lot like Frank Mir.
However, I've seen Frank come back from MANY beatings. If you watch Reem vs. Shogun, Chuck, Arona etc, you'll see that he wilts under pressure and just looks for a way to get out. He looked the same when Bonjasky dropped him in K-1.
I've said it probably a hundred times but I still think Reem gives JDS fits because of the standup but Cain absolutely demoralizes him with cardio and pressure.
No way does he keep that fight standing.

Hopefully he's being focused for this fight against a beast like Travis Browne.
I'd love to see Overeem back in the Top 3 for a shot at the title.
He's a front-runner. Through and through.

I don't think it's a stretch to apply that to his overall persona both inside and outside of the ring/cage.

Brooklyn Decker
On The Red Carpet
From glamorous gowns to flirtatious mini dresses, Decker is known for experimenting with a myriad of looks on the red carpet, however, one thing remains constant throughout: each ensemble is equipped with an indisputable wow factor. Consider the Stella McCartney dress she wore to the Tokyo premiere of Battleship last month, for example. While the dress' dramatic, figure-flattering column silhouette and color-block design are enough to turn heads, the addition of a thick gold metal belt and side cutouts inject the overall look with just the right amount of edge and loads of sex appeal. Speaking of sex appeal, Decker really amped it up at the London Battleship photocall back in March, wearing another body-conscious Stella McCartney creation--this time the designer's provocative Ink Stretch Large Diamond Walsh Dress ($4725)--and Christian Louboutin's Crosspiga Pumps ($795, 212.255.1910). With an athletic-inspired shape and sultry mesh cutouts, the dress emphasizes all the right places without appearing too risqué. Also noteworthy: the Tory Burch slate blue knife-pleated silk tulle and crepe gown with hand-beaded floral appliques she wore to the 2012 Met Gala last week, especially the way she elevated the dress with House of Lavande's statement-making Swarovski Crystal and Resin Earrings ($395). The resulting look was stunning, to say the least.
At Press Events
When Decker isn't gussied up for red carpet events, she's comfortably outfitted in relaxed silhouettes and edgy wardrobe staples. For her appearance at WonderCon in Los Angeles two months ago, the actress turned up in an enviable mix consisting of a white Stella McCartney blazer, Sandro tee, Tory Burch leather Ally Pants ($995, 310.248.2612) in Normandy Blue, and Michael Kors heels. We admire Decker's effortless uptown-meets-downtown pairing, and applaud her decision to upgrade the outfit by simply adding Dannijo's lavish Bea Necklace ($945). Even more casual, yet equally desirable, was the ensemble Decker wore heading to a boat cruise in Australia last month. Decker was snapped in Calvin Klein Collection's Vermilion Silk Crepe de Chine Shirt Dress ($1450, 212.292.9000) paired with Chloe's Studded Leather Ankle Boots ($1290) and aviator sunglasses, which made for a very cool boating ensemble if you ask us!
Get Her Look
Though your calendar may not be filled with glamorous red carpet premieres and exclusive fashion events, incorporating Decker's easygoing fashion sense into your everyday wardrobe is simple to do with the right pieces! To mimic our subject's off-duty style, we suggest picking up pieces with laid-back silhouettes. Start with a shirtdress in a bright hue, like Equipment's Silk Shirtdress ($248) and Calvin Klein's budget-friendly Shirtdress ($80), or try a casual graphic-print tee, like Wildfox's Never Ending Fun Tee ($64). If you go for the former, follow Decker's lead and give the dress a cool-girl spin with low-heeled ankle booties; C Society's Studded Booties ($199) and Jeffrey Campbell's Buckle Back Ankle Boots ($248) are two of our current favorites on the market. Those opting for Decker's noteworthy t-shirt look should balance the top's casual fit with a polished blazer-consider Theory's Stretch Cotton Blazer ($365) or Banana Republic's Sateen One-Button Blazer ($158)-and Urban Outfitters' Emily D Vegan Leather Leggings ($68). To finish, add CC Skye's Neon Multi Chain Necklace ($240), and you'll have an effortlessly enviable look.
Mimicking Decker's dressier selections is easy to do too! Maxi dresses are a must for summer, so take a page from Decker's stylebook and pick one with a figure-flattering, column shape. Mango's Straight Cut Maxi Dress ($80) will certainly do the trick. While the solid color lends itself to loads of interesting accessory options, we like the idea of adding a thick gold belt, like Mettle's The Bold & The Beautiful Belt ($198), a la Decker to give the floor-grazing frock even more interest. If you were smitten with the actress' elegant Met Gala gown, try Reiss' more wearable Kana Embroidered Top Dress ($425). Paired with statement-making shoulder-grazers, like Tom Binns' Faux Real Medium Crystal Earrings ($242), this frock is a lovely pick for a summer wedding or a fancy after-hours fete. Readers looking to emulate Decker's more sultry choice will certainly enjoy T by Alexander Wang's Mesh Combo Tank Dress ($285) and Motel's Cut Out Racer Back Dress ($43); both are reminiscent of her Stella McCartney number, thanks to their athletic-inspired, body-con silhouettes. We also approve of Timo Weiland's Elysia Sweetheart Party Dress ($567), which like Decker, strikes the perfect balance between feminine and edgy accents. Whatever pieces you end up choosing, be sure to keep the rest of your look clean and fuss-free-that goes for your beauty look too!-to fully achieve Decker's signature style.--Jessica Baker

Filed under: Boomer's Health
Gaucher's (go-SHAYZ) disease occurs when certain harmful fatty substances accumulate to excessive levels in your liver, spleen, lungs, bone marrow and, less commonly, brain. This accumulation of fatty material in tissues interferes with how your body works and may cause organ enlargement and bone pain.
Gaucher's disease is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase, which helps the body process the fatty substance glucocerebroside. The disease is sometimes called glucocerebrosidase deficiency.
Gaucher's disease can occur at any age. It's most common in Jewish people of Eastern and Central European descent (Ashkenazi).
Treatment for Gaucher's disease may involve enzyme replacement and other therapies.

RALEIGH — Who pays more and who pays less under a major tax bill exposed a sharp divide among lawmakers Tuesday, as the House and Senate voted mostly along party lines to give it preliminary approval.
Republicans leading the effort said the legislation would boost the state's economy and give every taxpayer a break once it's fully implemented. But Democrats cited their own numbers to argue that the wealthiest would get the bulk of the tax cuts, while some lower- and middle-class taxpayers may see tax hikes.
The disparate narratives, each backed by their own fiscal analysis, dominated partisan debates in the House and Senate that took place just hours apart.
The House moved first to give the bill preliminary approval, cutting off debate after less than 30 minutes and voting 77-38 with two Democrats in favor. The Senate spent nearly an hour discussing the measure later in the day before voting straight party lines, 32-17.
Both chambers will take final votes Wednesday, sending the measure this week to Gov. Pat McCrory's desk for his signature.
Under House Bill 998, North Carolina's personal and corporate income taxes would decrease to match the lowest rates of neighboring states, not counting Tennessee, which doesn't have a personal income tax. The move shifts the state from a more progressive personal income tax in which higher-income earners pay a larger percentage to a flat 5.75 percent rate in 2015. The corporate tax would fall from 6.9 percent to a 5 percent rate by the same year.
A legislative analysis prepared for Republican bill sponsors looked at specific scenarios to find that the average North Carolina household making roughly $40,000 would see income tax breaks ranging from $80 to $420. Married couples with children would receive the smallest share of the tax cut, with single taxpayers getting more.
At the lower end, a married couple with two children earning $20,000 would essentially break even, while a single taxpayer making $250,000 would save $4,000, or 1.6 percent.
The analysis did not take into account increases in sales tax on some service contracts and amusements where admission is charged, such as movies. The sales tax on electricity also would more than double to 7 percent, though Republican bill sponsors suggested it would have a minimal effect on monthly bills.
"It literally cuts everyone who pays income taxes," said Rep. David Lewis, a Dunn Republican who led the House tax negotiations.
Democrats' figures
But House and Senate Democrats asked legislative staffers to conduct separate analyses and used the numbers to poke holes in the bill.
For a married couple with two children making a combined $1 million, the income tax break is between $12,300 and $18,800, a roughly 20 percent cut. The same family making $4 million a year can get a cut up to $78,000, the analysis found.
Rep. Paul Luebke, a Durham Democrat, used the figures to show the top 1 percent of taxpayers would proportionally get the biggest income tax break. "This is a bill that is helpful if you are millionaire; it does not help you if you are in the middle class," Luebke said.
A few scenarios show that senior citizens on retirement income and small business owners are likely to pay more in income taxes as a result of the legislation.
A married couple with $15,000 in Social Security income and $35,000 from a pension could pay $800 more in income taxes, legislative analysis showed. The bill does maintain the state exemption for Social Security income, despite discussions earlier this year about repealing it, but it removes deductions for medical bills and eliminates a pension tax break in current law.
Another provision tucked into the bill eliminates a $50,000 income exemption for small business owners. It would lead a married couple with two children making $65,000 to pay $2,700 more in taxes, the legislative analysis showed.
Sen. Josh Stein, a Raleigh Democrat, said the scenarios reject Republicans' assertions that everyone benefits. And he said that most of the breaks from a corporate tax cut would go to shareholders outside North Carolina.
"This represents tax breaks for the wealthy and out-of-state corporations," he concluded.
The 'greater good'
To counter the argument, House and Senate Republicans pivoted to tout the plan's economic benefits.
The bill's supporters contend lower income taxes would lead to more jobs and economic growth in a state with the fifth-highest unemployment in the nation. Cary Republican Rep. Nelson Dollar called it possibly the "jobs bill of a generation," even though economists suggest such claims are exaggerated.
Combined with the GOP majority's other actions this session, Dollar said, it "will lead to a strong, healthier economy in North Carolina."
But Republican state Rep. Marilyn Avila of Raleigh acknowledged major tax changes can be difficult.
"Any time you are going to change a bill, whether it has to do with taxes or something else, you cannot avoid a small percentage of people being adversely affected," she said.
Avila said the "greater good" in the plan outweighed any negative effects like tax increases on some payers.

The Daily Star
---- — Too often, the machinations of government seem intangible to the average citizen. Many politicians try gamely to make clear statements about what this bill or that one will mean to their constituents, but to little avail. (Sen. Charles Schumer can be counted on to provide a "county-by-county breakdown" of just about any statistic you like.)
But, despite talk by Republicans that President Barack Obama is using sequestration as a bogeyman to scare the country onto his side, this is one instance where the workings of government are about to get all too tangible.
Under the package of broad cuts known as the sequester, senior citizens who rely on programs such as Meals on Wheels will see those services cut by* 4 million meals. Think of your mother, or your grandfather, for whom those daily deliveries may provide the only balanced, hot meal they eat all day. And now think about that meal going away. What will that mean for your mother's health? Who will make sure your grandfather is getting enough to eat during the day?
Thousands of working parents with young children in Head Start or subsidized child care will suddenly find themselves without a place to take their kids in the morning. Think about what this would mean to you if you were in that situation. Would you have a backup plan for child care? Could you afford to miss work to stay home with your child indefinitely until you lined something up?
The already-stretched-thin Home Energy Assistance Program will dry up for more than 400,000 households. While spring may be around the corner according to the calendar, we're still facing many cold days and nights before we can shut off the furnace or clean out the woodstove for the season. Think about the family relying on HEAP to buy that next delivery of fuel oil. What will they have to sacrifice to keep their home heated? Will it be clothes? Or will it be food, or medicine?
Otsego County Department of Social Services Deputy Commissioner Eve Bouboulis told The Daily Star that assistance with home heating and child care are big issues for the local area.
"They are really needed in this county," she said.
Republicans have questioned these figures, provided by President Obama. Kansas Republican Rep. Tim Huelskamp said the overall dangers of sequestration are greatly exaggerated.
"Most Americans are going to wake up Friday morning and yawn," Huelskamp predicted.
We pray that Huelskamp is right. But we'd really prefer not to find out. We wonder if Huelskamp and his Republican colleagues in Congress really have any idea what these cuts will mean to the millions of Americans who rely on these programs. The cuts may seem abstract and intangible to them. To us, they seem all too real.
*Editor's note: This story was changed at 10:30 a.m. March 1 to correct an error in the amount of money to be cut from senior feeding programs.

Glasgow Daily Times
Glasgow High School students will have the option of graduating early next school year provided they meet certain criteria.
The Glasgow Board of Education approved on second reading a policy on Monday regarding early graduation, as well as an application and verification form students must complete when seeking to graduate early.
In presenting the policy and application and verification form to the school board, Michelle Tinsley, supervisor of instruction/district assessment coordinator for the school district, shared a situation involving a student where early graduation could have been beneficial.
"Although I can't state a name, but when I was a counselor at Glasgow High School there was a student who had lost a parent and had the burden of taking care of a sibling," she said, adding at that time there was no policy regarding early graduation in place, so the student remained in school and took care of a lot of adult activities.
"I would have been right by the student's side if they wanted early graduation," she said.
To graduate early students must complete a minimum of 22 credits and all other state and local requirements.
For the full story, read the Nov. 16 print or e-Edition of the Glasgow Daily Times.

Young man looking to give readers something they enjoy. Of the women who have seen my work they tend to enjoy it so figured I'd make them available for others to view.
I currently hold a full time job as well as write on the side. When I'm not doing both I enjoy hanging out with my horses and just enjoying their magnificence, or riding when I have the additional time. Love to go out on long trail rides through the trees and pastures and teaching my horses new and fun things to do. Enjoy swimming with my horses during the summer time and taking long slow walks back to the barn.

Ottumwa Courier
---- — OTTUMWA – Attorneys for former Ottumwa Transit Administration director Pam Ward say they anticipate calling a witness who won't be in the courtroom, and prosecutors say they have no objections.
Court documents filed in the case show the defense wants to call Pat Piras, owner of Pat Piras Consulting. The company specializes in transportation planning, public policy and analysis. Piras has been a speaker at transportation conferences over the years.
Piras is willing to testify but has requested that she not be required to travel to Des Moines, where the trial will be held, citing health issues. As an alternative, Piras requested she be allowed to go to a federal courthouse in California and testify by teleconference.
The defense says Piras' testimony "would probably be less than one hour to an hour and one-half even including cross-examination."
Prosecutors responded that they have no objection to the arrangement, though they reserved the right to challenge any testimony Piras may offer.
Piras is expected to testify Friday, June 7. Ward's trial is scheduled to begin June 3.

Letterman is a big fan of the young British indie rockers, but couldn't resist cracking a joke about the record's title. "I'm being told it's their Christmas album," Letterman quipped.

Nick Castellanos drove in the tying and go-ahead runs with a double in the sixth inning and Max Scherzer won his fourth straight decision, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels last night. Scherzer, who is now 12-3, tied teammate Rick Porcello and New York's Masahiro Tanaka for the league lead in wins. He allowed three runs and six hits over seven innings and struck out eleven. It was the fourth time this season and 22nd in his career that the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner had double digits in strikeouts.
Marshawn Lynch is not expected to be present for the first day of the Seattle Seahawks' training camp according to close friend and former teammate Michael Robinson. Appearing on NFL Network last night, Robinson said he spoke with Lynch and Seattle's star running back plans to hold out of the camp that begins Friday. At dispute is Lynch's contract. Lynch can make up to $5.5 million this season in base pay and roster bonuses. It's the third year of a four-year contract Lynch signed with Seattle before the 2012 season. Lynch nearly skipped June's mandatory minicamp because he wants the final two years of his contract reworked. He ultimately showed to avoid a hefty fine, but did not participate with what coach Pete Carroll said was an ankle issue.
David Clouse of Friend stepped on the gas pedal and never looked back during yesterday's final round of the 106th Nebraska Amateur Championship at Norfolk Country Club.

At age 54, Clouse, also the 1999 Champion, becomes the oldest winner, surpassing Tom Olson of Omaha who won in 1997 at age 51. Rylee Reinertson of Gibbon finished eagle-par-birdie on his final three holes, part of a back nine 31 (-5), to claim Runner-Up honors, along with Low Junior Amateur honors with a 282 (-6).

News Briefs:
President Barack Obama has signed a disaster declaration for Nebraska, ordering federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the area affected by severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and flooding from June 14 to June 21. Federal funding also is available to state and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations in a dozen counties including Cedar, Cuming, Dakota, Dixon, Stanton, Thurston, and Wayne. The federal money may be used for emergency work and for repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the severe storms and flooding. Federal Emergency Management Agency officials say additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.
Five public school districts in Pierce and Knox counties are considering merging, but so far officials are meeting in private to discuss the possibilities. Reporters were turned away from Wednesday's meeting of representatives from the Bloomfield, Creighton, Osmond, Plainview and Wausa districts. None of the districts sent enough board members to the meeting to require that it be made public under state law. Plainview News Publisher Brook Curtiss plans to file a complaint with the Nebraska Attorney General's office over the closed meetings. Plainview Superintendent Richard Alt says all of the districts involved will consider whether to make future meetings open to the public.
Nebraska Sen. Mike Johanns says he's pleased EPA Administration Gina McCarthy met with Republicans on the Senate Agriculture Committee. But Johanns says he's not optimistic the meeting will convince McCarthy to keep the EPA from regulating waterways on farms. Johanns says there is little incentive for the President to scale back on its efforts to add federal regulations. "The Obama Administration recognizes that they only have a couple of years left," said Johanns. "I just think you're going to see a blizzard of regulations over the next two years and five months." Johanns says a proposed expansion of the Clean Water Act could cost farmers in both permit fees and fines.
The Nebraska state treasurer is reminding businesses and organizations of the Nov. 1 deadline for remitting unclaimed property to the state. Treasurer Don Stenberg says businesses and organizations must also submit unclaimed property reports by Nov. 1. The annual report covers the fiscal year that ended June 30. State law requires a business or organization to file a report with the Unclaimed Property Division if the total value of the unclaimed property is greater than $10. Examples of unclaimed property include health claim payments, dividends, life insurance proceeds, stocks, safety deposit boxes and unused gift certificates.
There are a lot of activities this weekend in Northeast Nebraska. Tilden Prairie Days runs from Friday through Sunday. Nebraska Rocks will rock the Norfolk City Auditorium Saturday night from 6 to midnight. Plainview hosts its annual DCARBQ Saturday and the Wayne County Fair runs through Sunday.

UPDATE 12/3/12 @ 10:20 p.m.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It's a holiday season filled with heartbreak and uncertainty for a group of people on Charleston's West Side who can no longer spend it at home.
After flames destroyed their apartment building along Beuhring Avenue, many fear they could be homeless for the holidays. Firefighters say the blaze didn't appear to be an accident, stirring strong emotions from everyone involved.
"Because of one person, this whole place burned down," victim Samuel Ballangee said. "We're all out of apartments ... wouldn't you be?"
"We have nowhere else to go," said another victim, who didn't wish to be identified. "The Salvation Army is trying to help us, but after a few days we have to find somewhere else to live."
Victims say they're being put up at the Super 8 Motel in Dunbar for three days. After that, they're not sure what will happen.
Still, they're grateful that everyone in the building made it out OK, and that they're still able to share Christmas with the ones they love.
"They say on Christmas it's better to give than receive, and I'm just thankful I'm alive," one victim said.
Witness tell WSAZ.com the fire started in a second floor apartment. We're told everyone got out safely.
Emergency crews are administering first aid to several pets that were inside of the building when the fire started.
Keep clicking WSAZ.com for the latest information.
That's on Charleston's West Side.
The call came in shortly after 11 Monday morning.
There is no word of any injuries.

The Nakba, or "day of catastrophe," remains the central issue of struggle for the Palestinian people. Commemorated each May 15th, the Nakba began in May 1948 when the State of Israel was founded on Palestinian lands, leading to the forcible expulsion of 75% of the indigenous population. Today, over 5 million Palestinian refugees remain in refugee camps in countries around the world, unable to return to their land and homes. They are the oldest and largest refugee population in the world.
With the announcement, just one day before the Nakba, that Israel has settled with hundreds of Palestinian political prisoners on hunger strike, we reflect on 64 years of Israeli occupation—and Palestinian resistance—with a survey of Verso's responses to this struggle.

Warren Wolf's Wolfpack Live From Berklee: Watch Now
March 19, 2014. Posted by Tim Wilkins.Add new comment | Filed under: Berklee, Live Music Blogging, living with music, The Checkout
Watch video from WBGO's live broadcast of vibraphonist Warren Wolf's Wolfpack at the Berklee College of Music's Cafe 939 in Boston on Wednesday, March 5 at 8 p.m.
Every month, WBGO brings Berklee alumni back to their alma mater to present the fruits of their labor, with live audio and video broadcasts. Tune in April 4 to hear the Matthew Stevens Quintet!
This concert features Wolf on vibes and marimba, Tim Green on saxophone, Alex Brown on piano, Kris Funn on bass, and Billy Williams Jr. on drums.
Wolf has always been something of a wunderkind - he started in music at age three on piano and drums in his native Baltimore, where he attended the Peabody Institute's preparatory program and the Baltimore School For The Arts, where he concentrated on classical music.
He graduated from Berklee in 2001, and by 2003 was teaching at the school. In addition to leading his own ensembles, he plays in the "Inside Straight" band led by bassist Christian McBride, who first took notice of the talented teenager a jazz camp in Colorado.

From the Editor - Security One Step at a Time
As I write this, yet another e-mail worm is spreading among non-Linux computers and incidentally filling my mailbox with "YOU HAVE A VIRUS" bounces from dumb software that somehow doesn't yet get the concept that worms forge mail. There's nothing like a worm attack that spares Linux to bring out the smug superiority in Linux users.
Cut it out. The attack path here is one step long. All that's keeping us safe is that most programs for Linux don't make it easy to run attachments from incoming mail. But combine the right vulnerability in a common desktop app with a little social engineering, and you've got a Linux worm.
Last year, the not-so-dramatically-named CAN-2003-0434 vulnerability allowed humble PDF files to run arbitrary commands as you. Linux users and distributions dealt with it quickly enough that it didn't turn into a vector for spreading a worm. With today's larger Linux user base and more desktop standardization, the next vulnerability will be a bigger risk.
Now that we've scared you, we'll cover the tools you could use to prevent not just a mail worm, but other attacks we don't know about yet. Run a local firewall and don't let programs on your company's desktops reach outside SMTP servers. Deploy exactly the firewall policy you want, on every host, with the advanced iptables advice in Chris Lowth's Kernel Korner on page 24. As you move your business apps to PHP, design them for security with Xavier Spriet's battle-tested designs on page 54.
And, make the next move in the spam wars. Deal with forgery where it starts. Although the US has essentially legalized spam, all the ISP advertising we've seen recently has used spam filtering as a selling point. Sender Permitted From, which Meng Weng Wong covers on page 62, lets you pop up out of the weeds and get mail through to customers who use strict spam filtering. SPF is a "look at me, I'm legit" measure you can deploy in a few minutes for a simple mail configuration.
Finally, in our cover story, Ibrahim Haddad and Miroslaw Zakrzewski explain a promising example of how to apply the kernel's Linux Security Module (LSM) interface to add process-level access control for telecom apps running on clusters (page 68). Developers can carry out this level of work, free of restrictions, because of the freedom that the GPL licensing consensus gives all of us. Keep your systems secure and enjoy this month's issue.

Re: From the Editor, April 2004: Security One Step at a Time
Hi Don,
I need to see if you could e-mail me about setting up a firewall on my PC. I think it is setup but I'm just not sure? When I installed Fedora Redhat I asked for high security to be installed. How do I check to see from the command line if it is installed?
Thank you,
Rob McLachlan @ email@example.com
Re: From the Editor, April 2004: Security One Step at a Time
from a root prompt:
select Firewall Configuration and just use one of the settings High preferably... I mostly use custom myself or write my own iptables rules...
Re: From the Editor, April 2004: Security One Step at a Time
No problem! Just post your IP and I am sure that plenty of people would be happy to test to see if your network is vulnerable.
Re: From the Editor, April 2004: Security One Step at a Time

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.

Carla Birnberg is a personal trainer, mom, blogger and fitness fiend. She's been blogging since 2001, and she launched MizFitOnline in 2007 to share health and fitness knowledge with people who don't have time or money for their own personal trainer. Besides her thoughtful advice and witty tweets, we love Mizfit's tagline: "Because fitness isn't about fitting in."
Lisa Cain may have a doctorate in evolutionary biology, but her real obsession is healthy food, specifically healthy snacks. She and her husband Matt try their best to stay away from too much packaged stuff and instead focus on creating recipes with fresh veggies from their backyard garden. She shares lots of tips for incorporating fresh ingredients and her recipes are so creative, like this zero-guilt chunky onion dip or these DIY peanut butter cups.
According to the CDC, four out of five African-American women are overweight or obese, an unacceptable statistic if you ask the ladies behind Black Girls Run. Toni Carey and Ashley Hicks launched the site in 2009 to encourage African-American women to make exercise and healthy eating a priority. Besides the inspiring blog, you can organize a running group and stay motivated by joining the BGR network.
Lisa Collier Cool is an award-winning health journalist and author whose work has appeared in the Journal. She blogs about the day's health news for Yahoo!, which means writing about everything from new research on redheads to how to get six-pack abs.
FitBottomedGirls started as a way for two fitness-obsessed friends to stay in touch. Now it's an online fitness mecca. Jenn Walters updates multiple times each day with everything from DVD reviews to tidbits on healthy eating to personal exercise triumphs (and trials).
Even before the Fitbottomed Girls got pregnant, they thought a site for busy moms to get fitness advice was a great idea. So after Erin Whitehead gave birth to their daughter, she and Walters launched their sister site for FitBottomed Mamas. She posts tons of advice for fitting exercise into your schedule, working out when you're pregnant or recently post-partum and staying healthy while managing the demands of a growing family.

Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
There have been a slew of Saturday Night Live alumni that haven't accomplished much of anything after they departed from the long-running late night show. For every Tina Fey or Eddie Murphy, there have been countless cast members whose careers stalled. Fey's good friend and sometime collaborator Amy Poehler, has had tremendous success with her hit show Parks and Recreation. I just love this show for its bumbling characters and madcap storylines, all of which center around the Parks and Recreation Department in the fictional city of Pawnee, Indiana. Longtime fans of the show The Office will recognize many similarities between the two series, including how the show is formatted, filmed and narrated. Here's to hoping that the quirky, smart plotlines continue to stay fresh and hilarious.
The newly released film Submarine is a sharply written, sweetly-toned, dark comedy reminiscent of the quirky films of Wes Anderson (see: Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaum's) and the lively joie de vivre of the French New Wave. The film doesn't cover new ground in terms of themes and subject matter, but it sustains your interest and deserves to be seen for the beautifully rendered cinematography (the gray, sunless beauty of the Welsh coast is its own character) and the strong acting performances, especially the work of Sally Hawkins and Noah Taylor as the protagonist's parents. The movie is an adaptation of the novel by author Joe Dunthorne, who also co-wrote the screenplay.
Oliver Tate is an angst-filled and precocious teen who sits in class, fantasizing about his own death and how his schoolmates will remember him (heroically of course). Cut from a similar cloth as Harold from Harold and Maude and possessive of the qualities of a slightly neurotic, hormonally-driven teenager (see: every coming of age movie over the past fifty years) who speaks with a rapid-fire deadpan, Oliver sets out to address his two biggest concerns as a 15 year-old: saving his parents' marriage from a new age "mystic" and figuring out his relationship with his firework's-obsessed, anti-romantic romantic girlfriend Jordana. In between these two goals, Oliver plays movies in his head and listens to the records of French crooners. He constructs mental films of his existential woes (what tormented teen doesn't?) and not surprisingly, has a Woody Allen photo on his bedroom wall and reads Catcher in the Rye and Nietzsche (because as we all know, most teens are reading The Birth of Tragedy). His problems range from the domestic to the romantic, both conflicts driving him to actions both absurdly funny and achingly real. Some of the best parts of the movie are when Oliver attempts to intervene in his parents' rocky marriage, spying on them both while conceiving of ways to bring them closer. The soundtrack, written by Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys is fantastic as well.
Over the past couple of months, I've been compiling my Best of 2011 list, an annual ritual of sorts, comprised of my favorite books, movies and music published throughout the year. But what about all of the great movies and music from years gone by that I've recently embraced and enjoyed? Well, here is a list of films that I've recently viewed, some of which are well known classics and others that are gems just waiting to be discovered and checked out. Compared to recently released films, they hold up quite well. All That Heaven Allows: The great director Douglas Sirk's classic tale of domestic and social conflict between a restless widow (Jane Wyman) and a close minded society that refuses to accept her love for a younger man played by Rock Hudson. The vibrant Technicolor and use of innovative filming techniques makes this seemingly conventional melodrama an influential touchstone for contemporary directors like Todd Haynes (his great movie Far From Heaven is a reworked homage to Sirk's classic) and Ranier Fassbinder. A Streetcar Named Desire: A stunning movie when you consider the time period in which it was made. Everything you've read about Marlon Brando's visceral performance is accurate. His explosive screen presence set the stage for younger method actors to take more expressive approaches to acting. What I didn't know was how mesmerizing Vivian Leigh was going to be as the doomed Blanche DuBois.Night of the Hunter: A perfectly rendered performance by Robert Mitchum as the creepy murderer posing as a preacher (famously adorned with the words hate and love tattooed on his knuckles) makes Night of the Hunter one of the 1950's most influential films. Mitchum's deranged killer faces off against two children and an ornery grandmother as he tries to secure a large sum of stolen money. The famous ditty sung by Mitchum throughout the film was referenced by the Joel and Ethan Coen in their 2010 film True Grit during the closing credits. Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore: One of the director Martin Scorsese's lesser known films from the 1970's but a strong, poignant film nonetheless. Driven by the award-winning, tour de force performance of Ellen Burstyn, Alice tells the story of a young mother in search of a career as a torch singer. Unsuccessful in love and singing, Alice ends up in the American Southwest working as a waitress at Mel's Diner (later to be spun off as a television sitcom). Kris Kristofferson plays a man who shows an interest in Alice and her son. Will Alice settle down and marry or will she head off to California to strike it big as a singer? Her quirky, talkative son provides the movie's comedic and lighthearted touches. Cameos by future stars include a very young Jodie Foster and Scorsese regular Harvey Keitel. The Big Sleep: A lively if often convoluted whodunit, this first adaptation of the Raymond Chandler classic, was a major success at the box offices when it was released in 1946. Starring Hollywood's hottest couple at the time, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, this Phillip Marlowe-centered, detective thriller is one of the few book adaptations that translates well to the big screen in large part to the great chemistry between the two stars and the crackling dialogue, filled with gritty innuendo.
Produced by Nickelodeon studios – which gave the world SpongeBob and slime – Rango was heavily promoted on Nick's cable channel (and elsewhere) just prior to its theatrical release last March. Why not? The film is populated by talking animals, its lead character (voiced by Johnny Depp, star of Rango director Gore Verbinski's Pirates of the Caribbean series) is naively charming and quirky, and, hey, it's animated! Must be a kids' flick.
Not so fast. It's not that kids won't enjoy Rango – my first-grader did – it's just that Rango may really be a cult film for adults disguised as a kids' flick. (Yes, my kid enjoyed it, but didn't talk about it much past the day we saw it.) While most decent kids' films in the last decade have plenty of references kids may not get, the entirety of Rango will make the most sense to adults who have grown up with, well, films for grown-ups.
Our hapless title hero, a domesticated lizard who, like Bolt and so many other animated big-screen pets, gets separated from his cushy lifestyle in the film's opening moments, is thrown into a gritty western scenario more evocative of Anthony Mann than Woody's Roundup. Townspeople are terrorized by villains who control the town's water supply (shades of Chinatown), so when the goofy stranger arrives on the scene, they look to him as their last great hope (echoes of High Noon). Nothing here the kids can't enjoy, but what's up with that Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas reference?
Rango's classic western types are thoroughly engaging characters that should have their audience really caring about their fates, whether or not it cares about westerns. That said, familiarity with the western genre should make the film even more enjoyable. If that sounds like your kind of film, then don't wait for the kids to pick it up from our collection.
Movies for: Kids, Teens & Tweens

Weight loss aim for super slimmer
4:35pm Monday 7th January 2013 in News By Gavin Havery, Reporter (Derwentside & Tyneside)
SUPER slimmer Maxine Ford has set herself a new weight loss challenge for the New Year.
Last year she shed more than nine stones in nine months with the Slimming World group in Consett after weighing in at 28 stones.
She is determined to reach her target of 13 stones during 2013.
Ms Ford said: "I was in so much pain, my knees and other joints ached permanently. It was a struggle to walk yet alone doing normal everyday things.
"I had to take charge. The lighter I have become the easier it is now to exercise. It really has changed my life."

My mom was born in 1921, about the time when women received the right to vote. The voter ID amendment, if passed, would create barriers that would successfully take that right away from her.
She has had no need for a photo ID for the past 10 years. The effort and cost to get one is something many elderly people will not attempt.
For 70 some years, my mom made the decision to vote or not. If there is passage of the voter ID amendment, the government could refuse her that right.
Amendments were offered to exempt people in nursing homes and veterans homes. Voter fraud is not an issue in these sites, so why these exemptions were denied is a puzzle. Unless, the intent is to suppress the rights of the elderly to vote.
This bill needs much more work, including how much would this cost and would these dollars come for human services budgets, once again targeting our elderly.
Vote no on the voter ID.
