Heb. la'anah, generally rendered "wormwood" (q.v.), Deut. 29:18, Text 17; Prov. 5:4; Jer. 9:15; 23:15. Once it is rendered "hemlock" (Amos 6:12; R.V., "wormwood").

I cover the business of technology.
What will be the biggest new Apple (AAPL) product introduced in the next 5 years?
In the last 5 years, we've seen the introduction of the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Apple TV. Surely there will be many new and exciting products to come in the next 5 years.
And what could make them even more interesting is that they will likely have spent much of their development life without being under the watch of Steve Jobs, who died over a year ago.
But I actually don't think we should expect the same number of world-changing new mobile products in the next 5 years. The existing product line-up is still pretty new and has lots of potential to be improved in the next few years – especially once they release the iPad Mini (soon) and TV (probably next year).
Apple doesn't need to build the next great stylus or talking pen. But what they do need is better glue to tie all these devices together and make them sing.
That's where Artificial Intelligence comes in.
AI seems to be a far off futuristic notion, but it's actually much closer than we think. As Peter Thiel said to Bloomberg TV yesterday, we're probably no more than 10 years away from being shuttled around in driverless cars – especially with 93% of traffic accidents caused by driver error.
How else will the world be different in 10 years from now? Chances are pretty dramatically.
If I had to guess, it will be AI that will be behind most of those changes. AI is the key secret sauce behind Siri, Maps and Passbook (Commerce).
Today, we see the rudimentary basis for how our lives could be made much simpler with Siri, Maps and Passbook. Yet, the gulf between our hopes for what each of these services could be and current reality is still vast. Because of that, the conventional wisdom is that these services "don't work." We write them off.
That's silly and short-sighted. AI will be the horsepower that bridges the gulf and gets them to where we all want them to be. That will take time, the right AI people, data and money. Apple's got all four. Start-ups – and even large companies like Twitter and Facebook (FB) – do not.
In 5 years, I expect that we'll still have smaller, lighter iPhones and iPads. Maybe they'll be emitting holograms in front of us. However, I don't think we'll be wearing some new sunglasses made by Apple.
Instead, we'll be actually using our post-PC devices in a way that makes our life easier:
The tools are now in our hands to make our lives easier in this post-PC era. What's missing is the AI to make those tools sing.
It's coming.
AI will be the biggest new Apple "product" when we look back 5 years from now.

CrApple Loses nearly (day's not over yet ) $100 per share in JUST 3 WEEKS!!!
Question: Will the CrApple Hacks at Forbles keep Pimping CrApple at the urging of CrApple PR????
Thanks Eric,
I follow you religiously on Forbes, CNBC, and I read your blog. You are one of the few who deeply understand Apple. I completely agree that AI is the future. Furthermore, I completely agree that wee will NOT be wearing ridiculous glasses that allow us to text or broadcast our day to day lives (Google Glass). Imagine how annoying and ridiculous they will look…who wants to wear glasses to get data? True innovation will make technology effortless; It will get out of our way and truly help us on a daily basis. iAI is the future!
I think Google is well placed here as well "after all Google's Director of Research, Peter Norvig, co-authored the standard AI teaching text (AI: A Modern Approach), and Google has both data and money." [quoted from: http://universal-machine.blogspot.com]
iphone 5 is disopointing somebody but it still a good phone I think, but I don't think iphone 5s or iphone 6 can last Stimulate users so much :)
I am skeptical about the premise of the article. Oh, I agree that AI is the future, specifically Strong AI being the end goal but what makes you think that Apple will be the next AI king? The reasons you gave are basically because Apple has a lot of money, developers, and they have Siri. Google fits in to the equation better, they have research labs specifically dedicated to AI. As for Strong AI, I doubt if either company will produce it. It will probably be a research lab you have never heard of.
Hi Eric,
Thanks for your insights.
While I agree that AI is the missing link, the next big thing and something that will loop all future devices, commerce, and communications, I beleive that in the current context, Google is better positioned to reach to that level than Apple. Simple and short reason being -Data.
Google has massive amount of data that can be leveraged to power up the smarts of AI. Not to mention that Google is now integrating some real AI brain equivalent into its Algorithms.
Check this link- http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/06/27/google-builds-a-brain-that-can-search-for-cat-videos/
Siri, on the other hand, is a very premitive product.
People have been predicting the advent of useful AI for two decades. I'm not optimistic. We still can't explain human intelligence so how are we going to mimic it in a machine?
I also find the potential uses of such technology as listed above somewhat dubious. Do we really need AI to tell us what to watch on TV or what to buy? Do we need Siri to be our best buddy instead or our spouse? Exactly what mundane tasks am I going to be able to offload to my AI connected devices? Can they take out my trash, wash my dishes, or descale my coffee pot?
I have also never understood why I need to monitor my house so closely. Light switches are pretty simple to operate. So are thermostats. And what good is AI that calls me to let me know the burglars already made off with my stuff?
I'm surprised you didn't mention the refrigerator that is going to call me to let me know I'm out of milk and the smart toilet that will analyze my excrement to let me know when I need to see my physician. Those two seem to be favorites in articles like this.
Technologists (and I am one) tend to be overly optimistic about the promise of new technology. I have heard a lot of empty promises and read about a lot of vaporware over the past twenty years. I'll believe in Apple's (or anyone's) hyper-brilliant AI when I see it.

The Prince of Persia, a seasoned warrior, returns from the Island of Time to Babylon with his love Kaileena. Instead of the peace that he longs for, he finds his homeland ravaged by war and the kingdom turned against him. The Prince is rapidly captured and Kaileena has no choice but to sacrifice herself and unleash the Sands of Time in order to save him. Now cast to the streets and hunted as a fugitive, the Prince soon discovers that past battles have given rise to a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him...
Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is an Action/Adventure video game for PlayStation 2 developed and published by Ubi Soft on December 10, 2005. It's rated Mature by the ESRB and 74 of our users have voted it 4.3 out of 5 stars.
Our newest cheats for Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones were added January 16, 2010. We also have the game available on Xbox, PC, GameCube, in addition to PS2.
You get this when you beat the game and go to a new profile pause the game and enter left, left, right, right, O, square, square, O, up, down. Remember you can only use the cheat once. If you want to use the cheat again you quit the game and go back to the profile and pause the game and enter the cheat.
While in the pause menu, use the directional button and press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Circle, Square, Cirle, Square.
While playing go to the pause screen. Then put in left, left, right, right, circle, square, square, circle, up, and down. You might have to enter this twice if you haven't beat the game.
After you beat the game you get this code: At the pause screen, pressnter X(2), Circle, Square(2), Circle, Up, Down. If done correctly when you return to game you will have a big pastel hammer the kills EVERYTHING!!! (exept bosses!)
After dodging an attack press Triangle then Square to hit him with three attacks.
If you go to the level where you first ride in the chariot, you're supposed to go through the water and turn into the normal prince then go through the chariot race. But, if you keep rolling on the ground as you walk through the water when you're the dark prince, you will continue being the dark prince and will hop on the chariot as him and your health will run out, but you will keep going. However, when you get to the door at the end, you will go right through it and crash, or if you go to the right you will automatically appear on the ground and die anyway.

Calif. to officially launch greenhouse gas systemBy JASON DEAREN
The Associated Press | November 13,2012AP PHOTO
American flags are seen near the Shell refinery, in Martinez, Calif. On Wednesday, Californias largest greenhouse gas emitters will for the first time begin buying permits in a landmark cap-and-trade system meant to control emissions of heat-trapping gases and spur investment in clean technologies.SAN FRANCISCO Californias largest greenhouse gas emitters will begin buying permits in a landmark cap-and-trade system designed to control emissions of heat-trapping gases and to spur investment in clean technologies.
The program is the most wide-ranging of its kind in the nation and a key part of Californias 2006 climate-change law that dictates standards for cleaner-burning fuels, more efficient automobiles, and increased use of renewable energy.
Under the plan, the California Air Resources Board will auction off pollution permits on Wednesday called allowances to more than 350 businesses, including electric companies, food processors and refineries.
In essence, the auction will put a price on carbon emissions.
The program also places a cap on emissions spewed by individual polluters. Businesses are required to either cut emissions to the cap levels or buy allowances from other companies for each metric ton of carbon discharged over the cap each year.
Businesses can satisfy up to 8 percent of emissions reductions through the purchase of carbon credits from forestry and other certified projects.
It is entirely in line with the notion ... that competitive economics in the 21st century is built upon clean and more efficient ways of generating energy, making products and doing business, Mary Nichols, the air boards chairman, wrote in an email.
However, some of the businesses regulated under the plan say the extra costs will result in higher electricity rates and job losses in an economy already struggling to recover. A coalition of business groups has petitioned Gov. Jerry Brown to delay the program a request he has refused.
The auction will take place, said Evan Westrup, a spokesman for the governor. We will be monitoring the program very closely and the Air Resources Board will make modifications as appropriate.
For the first two years of the program, large industrial emitters will receive 90 percent of their allowances for free in a soft start meant to give companies time to reduce emissions through new technologies or other means. The cap, or number of allowances, will decline over time in an effort to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
The board has estimated that businesses will pay a total of $964 million for allowances in fiscal year 2012-2013. About 23 million allowances will be sold for 2013 emissions, and 39.5 million allowances are being pre-sold Wednesday for 2015 emissions.
The state is still unclear about how the money will be used, but California law dictates it go into a greenhouse gas reduction account, and any programs that use the funds be consistent with the goals of AB32, the climate change law.
Some groups have proposed using part of the money to help businesses regulated under the cap to buy and install energy efficient technology to help save money.
While no one believes Californias cap-and-trade program alone will remedy climate change, the system is designed to show it can be done in the worlds ninth-largest economy and provide a blueprint for other governments, the board said.
Officials believe the re-election of President Barack Obama, who in his acceptance speech voiced support for battling climate change, will embolden states to follow Californias lead.
With the election, we expect states that had dropped their own climate efforts to take a new look at what they can do, and some of these ideas will be adapted or adopted elsewhere, Nichols said.
Business groups say Californias regulations and high taxes are already a threat to their bottom lines, and adding more costs in a bad economy is perilous to growth.
Utilities say ratepayers should expect increases.
The Modesto Irrigation District which provides its customers with a mix of energy from traditional coal-and-natural gas-fired power plants and renewable sources said customers will see bills increase in 2013 due to cap and trade.
We will have on our billing a surcharge that will address cap and trade, and show ratepayers exactly how much more they will pay, said Greg Salyer, resource planning and development manager at the district.
Salyer said the district will not know exactly how much higher rates will go until after Wednesdays auction, which will set prices for each ton of carbon emissions.
Ratepayers will see a bit of relief early on because some of the auction proceeds have been earmarked for return to utility customers. The California Public Utilities Commission will ultimately decide how those rebates are handled next year.
In the end, proponents of Californias ambitious new program say the increases in costs will be offset by gains in the states clean technology sector, and by air quality improvements and other benefits of emission reductions.
That said, even supporters acknowledge that changes in the price of energy are likely to occur.
We dont want to dismiss the idea that there will be changes to the energy price structure because of a program like this, said Timothy OConnor of Environmental Defense Fund.

NPR's business news starts with slower growth in East Asia.
INSKEEP: That prediction comes from a World Bank report released today. The bank warns of a deeper and longer slowdown in the region caused by weak exports and weak domestic demand.
At the center of all this is a greater than slowing of the Chinese economy. The bank cut its annual growth prediction for China to 7.7 percent, which is down about half a point. Though next year, they expect China's economy to rebound a bit, helped by government stimulus measures. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

FAIRMONT — As a four-year-old playing soccer and basketball at the YMCA, Kaitlin Snyder, now a standout guard on Fairmont State University's women's basketball team, always had a playmate — her twin brother, Kyle.
"I think he kept that competitive nature in me," Snyder said.
And although the siblings grew up in a sport-oriented household, they didn't let competition get in the way of their relationship.
"I loved it," Snyder said. "We're best friends."
Snyder remains close with her family and credited them to the success that she has found on the basketball court throughout her career. Snyder's parents, who live in Charleston, find a way to watch their daughter in action as often as they can.
"They come to every home game," Snyder said.
Snyder, a senior who has averaged 17.3 points per game so far this season, said that it's starting to sink in that she won't be returning for another season next school year.
"It's hard. I've done it everyday," Snyder said. "So once the season's over it's one of those things where it's done and you look back and its a memory."
Snyder said she has grown accustomed to preparing for practices and games and enjoying meals with the team.
"It's not going to be like that anymore, so I'm trying to cherish every moment that I can," she said.
In addition to basketball practice and games, Snyder, who is in nursing school and pursing a minor in health science, is kept busy with the academic side of things as well.
"I'm really focused on school," Snyder said.
Snyder demonstrates the same kind of tenacity in the classroom that she does on the court, and last year she was named a second team Capital One Academic All-American.
Still, her presence on the court cannot be denied. In fact, FSU head coach Steve McDonald said that he recruited Snyder for about three years before she decided to come to Fairmont, so he was not surprised that the she was able to make an immediate impact. Not only that, but he said that Snyder's success is at times, contagious.
"Kaitlin's a kid that leads more often than not by example and how hard she plays," McDonald said. "When she's at the right level, we play extremely well because our team just feeds off of her."
And if Snyder's teammates are following her lead, they just might pick up one of her pregame rituals — eating a spoonful of peanut butter and a half a spoonful of honey before walking onto the court.
"It's just for energy purposes," Snyder said.
Snyder, who was named the WVIAC Player of the Year as a junior, said that she also tries to serve as a role model for the rest of her teammates.
"I like to think I have a leadership role," Snyder said. "I do try to be a good role model on and off the court."
According to McDonald, Snyder, along with her fellow teammates, are not only valuable basketball players, but they are also tremendous representatives of the institution and the community.
"When this is all said and done and their careers are over, the type of person you are is much more important than the player you were," he said.
Snyder said that she used to think basketball was at the core of her identity, but has since changed that mentality.
"Basketball's not forever," Snyder said. "I used to think it was. I would think if I didn't have basketball, what would I do, where would I be and would people still perceive me as who I am?"
And while Snyder said that she hopes her team, which has a record of 16-8 prior to today's 1:30 p.m. game against West Liberty, can win the remainder of the season's games with an ultimate goal of making it to the NCAA tournament, she really hopes she and her teammates can enjoy these last few weeks together.
"I hope we can end it well with everybody getting along, having fun and making it the best," Snyder said. "Those are the memories that we are going to remember."

Books are like people. They have something to say. They don't always look perfect but you accept them for all their faults. You don't need to follow what they say but you are willing to listen and learn.
I can't resist a good book… especially an old one. While looking for that one good sale that won't break the bank, end my marriage, or leave me lonely on Father's day, I stopped by a Brookfield sale on South Mountain Road. The first sale of the day and without realizing it, I broke the first commandment of "picking." I arrived before the sale had begun. I apologized once I figured out what I had done, and the friendly owner, though exasperated from all the other early birds, absolved me of my sin.
There were a lot of items spread over several makeshift tables, but before I could settle in to dig, I was distracted by my daughter's ability to pick out the one thing I didn't want her to have. Fortunately, she did her own inspection and found the 60-piece Mousetrap style game to be incomplete and she passed on it. Whew!
The next item was a bag of miniature wooden doll furniture that looked expensive. I allowed my daughter to take it to be priced and when she came back and said "$2" I knew that something was up. I thought it might be the power of her dimples — they are irresistible to most and have melted many a shopkeeper. We learned, however, that a friend had taken over the cash box and when the owner returned, the doll furniture was recalled (we hadn't exchanged cash for the item yet). It was a point to grow on as I explained to my daughter that it is better to know you got a good deal than to think that you might have benefited from someone's mistake. She understood and settled for an odd wooden piggy bank.
Though I scoured the place, I couldn't find anything until I noticed a lone leather-bound book in a box. By just the feel of it in my hand I knew it was old. Books can be a 'dig' unto themselves — Who owned it? Where did it come from? What's written or tucked between the pages? The title page was a little hard to read due to an error in printing, but it was a copy of the New Testament published in 1828.
Old Bibles are a mixed bag — millions upon millions have been printed and I see one at almost every large sale I visit. Sometimes the centerpiece of the family's valuables, they often are the best source of information about the home and the people that lived there. The center sections contain lined pages that were used to record significant events (births, deaths, marriages) that were updated as the Bible was passed down from generation to generation. When I find a Bible, I usually go to this center section to see if it will help me put the pieces of the story together. (See image.)
This little 4x6 edition of the New Testament I had found was curious and I showed it to the owner to make sure it was meant for the sale pile. I broke the ice by saying, "Well, that's the oldest New Testament I've ever seen," and asked if there were any other books of similar age. When she replied to the negative I decided to set the book aside.
When it was time to pay for my daughter's piggy bank I was told, "You can have the book." Sometimes you never know what you are going to pay when you pick something up, even though I put it down.
Books are like people, once you get to know them, you can't put them down.
Would you like an invitation to the Havana Yacht Club? Click here and bring your time machine because it will be 1952 when you get there.
Greg Van Antwerp is a Brookfield resident and blogger, who can be found on the weekends in search of a good "dig" or a good story. You can read more about his adventures by visiting his blog.

HOUSTON -- Take your time as you are driving overnight and early Thursday morning because it's a rainy and windy mess out there, said KHOU 11 News Chief Meteorologist David Paul.
Lows overnight Wednesday will hover around 60 degrees with fog , drizzle and wind gusts up to 25 mph.
The storms will move into the Houston area early Thursday morning. By 6 a.m., individual thundershowers will begin popping up in the north and west counties.
From 9 a.m. to noon, the strongest storms will move in. We could see tornadic activity in the northern counties. While the tornadic threat is slight, if we do see tornadoes, it will be in a line from College Station to Conroe to Liberty and the surrounding areas to the north and east.
The cold air moving in could also produce nickel or quarter-sized hail.
By 3 p.m., the storms will move out and temps will be in the 70's.
There's a slight chance for a sprinkle Friday morning, but then the day will improve and we'll have sunshine and temps near 70 in the afternoon.
There will be a mix of clouds and sun on Saturday with a high near 70 degrees. There's another slight rain chance on Sunday and a high of 71 degrees.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the finest efforts I have ever tasted from La Croix de Gay, this dark ruby/purple-tinged 2009 offers up aromas of crushed raspberries, black cherries, vanillin, truffles, and caramel. Deep, richly fruity, and medium to full-bodied, with more substance and generosity than most vintages..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Austere wine, its tannins pushing forward to give power and structure. It is dense, concentrated, with layer upon layer of bitter coffee and dark fruit flavors, acidity and sweet tannins."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2007 Latour (the first wine made in the newly renovated cellars) exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sweet, expansive bouquet of black fruits and spring flowers interwoven with a striking minerality. The wine's dense, medium to full-bodied flavors are surprisingly evolved, with..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... The wine exhibits a good dark ruby/garnet color, a sweet nose of cedar, chocolate, cassis, and spices, good ripe fruit and extraction, and a weighty, large-scaled, tannic finish ... but this is clearly the second-best Mouton of the decade."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Full medium-deep red. Medicinal, austere nose of plum and chocolate ... Fat and plump, ... a very satisfying drink ..."

The Skinny: Sandburg's 55-50 boys basketball victory over Lockport on Friday night in Lockport was a tale of two halves. Sandburg's offense and defense were clicking in the first half as the Eagels built a 30-10 lead. Sandburg's defense limited the Porters to less than 25-percent shooting in the first half and the Eagles dominated on the boards. Lockport, using an up-tempo offense and relying heavily on the fastbreak, began to build momentum in the second half after trailing by 21 midway through the third quarter. The Porters put together a 14-5 run to close out the game, but it was too little, too late.
Patch MVP: Sandburg's Nick Lehnerer had 17 points, five rebounds and one assist.
Key Stats: Sandburg and Lockport were even in shooting percentage from inside the three-point arc by the end of the game, with both teams shooting a tidy 50 percent. However, the Eagles were 2-of-3 from the three-point arc and the Porters were 6-of-22. Sandburg also was 15-of-21 from the free throw line. The Eagles outrebounded the Porters 34-11.
Sandburg Leaders: Ken Payonk had 16 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks. Malek Harris had 13 points, 10 rebounds, one block and one steal. Joe Kuligoski had two points, five rebounds, one steal and one block.
Lockport Leaders: Courtney Cole had 21 points to lead all scores and three steals. Dexter Taylor had 14 points and two rebounds. Kyle Ward had 10 points, three rebounds and two steals.
Quotable: Sandburg coach Todd Allen: "I thought the guys did a nice job coming out at halftime. Lockport made a little run, and we responded. For about three quarters, we played really well, but Lockport played a great fourth quarter. They played hard and made their shots. It's tough to win here, and I thought the kids did a nice job here to get it done."
Team Records: Sandburg is 1-3 overall and 1-0 in the Southwest Suburban Blue. Lockport falls to 3-1 and 0-1 in the SWSC Blue.
What's Next: Both teams will face Bolingbrook next. The Porters will face the Raiders in Bolingbrook on Dec. 6. The Eagles will host the Raiders on Dec. 9.

The perils of hope and the freedom from expectation
They say a wise man hopes for the best but prepares for the worst. Or if they don't, I do. Similarly, a foolish man ignores the worst and prepares for the best, secure in his own superiority.
I am a foolish man.

"Operations Engineer" - by Dave Konopka on 02-DEC-2013
Reviewer Rating:
A must read for anyone in operations or systems administration. Plenty of worthwhile tips and processes. It is an extremely easy read too. The only knock is that now that the book is a few years old some of the references are badly dated.

July 18, 2012
By Scott Kotick, Seminoles.com
Today we conclude our countdown of the top players to watch for 2012 with another member of the Seminole defense.
It's not often that the number one recruit in the nation is a lifelong Seminole and is even a Florida State legacy. So our final player to watch this season is freshman defensive end Mario Edwards, Jr.
Edwards comes to Tallahassee as arguably one of the most powerful ends to come out of high school. He's 6-4, 295 pounds, but moves like an true end with great speed off the edge.
So it's that combination of size and speed that made him the number one player coming out of high school and gave him the great expectations coming to Florida State.
It's unclear how much time Edwards will see the field this fall with veterans Brandon Jenkins, Bjoern Werner, and Tank Carradine all ahead of the freshman. But there's no question that Edwards along with fellow freshman Chris Casher are the future star defensive ends at Florida State.
But with the talent that Coach Fisher has brought in once again, both Edwards and Casher will provide great depth to an already loaded defensive end unit and will surely see their fair share of big plays throughout the year.
Edwards has a great opportunity this season, as he'll certainly become a crowd favorite while still learning from guys like Werner and Jenkins. It's going to be fun to watch him in a garnet and gold uniform, and the sky is the limit for him throughout his career.
Thanks for joining us on our 12 for 12 countdown and we'll have plenty of great content here on Seminoles.com as we head up to ACC Kickoff this weekend and as we approach the beginning of fall camp on August 6th.

When it comes to campaign contributions, Republican Brad Curnutt has a strong lead in the race to be the next Limestone County circuit clerk.
Curnutt raised a total of $25,445 in contributions between Jan. 31 and Oct. 26, compared to zero contributions raised by opponent Democrat Kris Allen between Jan. 31 and June 30, the last time Allen reported, according to documents at the Alabama Secretary of State's office.
Allen, a Decatur car salesman who lives in Athens, believes his 15 years of customer-service training would make him the best choice for circuit clerk.
Curnutt, who worked for the Limestone County Sheriff's Department for 18 years before taking a leave of absence to run for office, believes his law-enforcement background would make him the best choice for circuit clerk.
Curnutt's campaign total including $13,465 in itemized donations and $9,330 in cash donations that did not have to be itemized. Among his contributors were:
Individuals: Randy Goode, $350; Walter Curnutt, $500; Chisolm Downs, $300; Josh McLaughlin, $300; Dr. James and Sharon Walker, $400; Brenda Owens, $200; Matt Haney, $2,500; Kip Bates, $20; Bucky Patton, $40; Kim Bertels, $100; and David Ruf Farm, $150.
Businesses: Sunrise Janitorial Service, $400; Jiffy Foods, $250; CR Mechanical, $2,000; CCS Garbage, $200; Cottonhead Farms, $250; and McCurry Motors, $500.
Political Action Committees: Alabama Realtors PAC/Athens-Limestone Association of Realtors, $1,005; Limestone County Republican Party/Executive Committee, $3,000; and Limestone County Republican Executive Committee, $1,000.
In-kind (itemized): Alicia Looney, $50 for advertising.
In-kind (non-itemized): $200.
Loans: Brad Curnutt to himself, $2,400.
Cash donations (non itemized): $9,330.
Because these two candidates are running for a state office, their campaign finance reports are available online at the Secretary of State's office at http://arc-sos.state.al.us/CGI/ELCNAME.MBR/INPUT.
(One week's report for Curnutt is incorrect. The March 9 report should list a total of $185 under contributions, not $6,394.07. The latter number includes the $185 in contributions added to the beginning balance of $6,209.07 from the previous month. The detailed report for the month correctly reflects $185 in contributions.)

An Introduction to Using Linux as a Multipurpose Firewall
We currently have a Linux PC, connected in the middle of two networks. It can see both, and both can see it. The PC is also wide open with all the default ports turned on. We want to restrict this as much as possible. People are always looking for new ways of breaking into systems. The more we lock down this firewall to the outside, the less vulnerable we are to attacks. Nothing is perfect, and the only true way to be sure people are kept out is to unplug your Ethernet connection when you are not there. Since that's undesirable for most of us, this is the next best thing.
What needs to be done now is disabling all services we don't need. If you are making this a true firewall, you can disable almost everything except TELNET and FTP, and these two will be limited to ports from only inside your LAN and trusted outside IP addresses.
The file /etc/inetd.conf, as shown in Listing 3, is where these ports are configured. This file affects traffic terminating at the firewall, not passing through it. Disabling something like POP3 or IMAP is acceptable, since when you go to get your mail from a PC inside your network, this traffic will pass through the firewall (but not stop) on its way to your ISP's POP3 or IMAP mail server.
Remember, the more ports and addresses you choose to leave open, the more closely you will need to watch your firewall for break-in attempts. We have left TELNET and FTP open, so we'll want to restrict the originating IP addresses on both networks to those we want to let in.
This is done by editing the files /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow. By editing these files, you can deny access to everyone except a few specific addresses or range of addresses, or you can allow everyone in by default and disable problem IP addresses down the road when you discover unwanted access from those points. If this is the case, be sure to watch your system logs closely. See the "Setting Services" sidebar for more details. In one sense, we could have left inetd.conf alone and restricted people from those ports via the /etc/hosts.deny table; however, it is always best to lock down ports in multiple ways.
By default, most UNIX systems do not allow root to log in from anywhere but the console. If your system is not set up that way, it should be. You will at least want to slow down someone who might want in your system. If they can't log in directly as root, this is an additional security benefit. Check the file /etc/securetty. In Red Hat 6.0, look for pty1, pty2, etc. entries in the table. In Slackware, look for ttyp0, ttyp1, etc. entries in the table. If these entries are in place, root login is allowed on those TELNET ttys; therefore, remove the entries. The other remaining entries in the table cover your various consoles and serial ports.
Since you can't log in remotely as root and you do not have a console with a monitor and keyboard, it would be best to add a second user to the firewall to ensure you can "su to root" to do work on the firewall.
useradd -g 100 -d /home/USER -s /bin/tcsh -c\ 'YOURNAME' USER passwd USER
The -g controls which group this user will belong to. In this example, 100 was used, as this is the user's group in Red Hat 6.0. If this does not work for you, check out /etc/group to find a suitable group. YOURNAME is whatever you want to put in the Name field of the user account, and USER is the ID chosen for the user, i.e., I may choose to use jeff as my ID.
In a small system, the only processes we want running are ones that pertain to the operation of the firewall. This means disabling processes: all but one or two consoles, Sendmail and anything else you don't need. You can see what is running right now by typing:
ps -xa
To keep Sendmail from starting next time, you will need to move or edit the file where it starts. Linux usually starts up in runlevel 3. In Red Hat 6.0, you can check that by looking at /etc/inittab and looking for the line that reads id:3:initdefault:. The 3 indicates runlevel 3. Therefore, in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d, there is a file called S80sendmail. Move this file to 80sendmail, as follows:
mv /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80sendmail\ /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/80sendmail
Some programs like elm require that sendmail be running to operate properly. This opens up a potential hole to to the outside world since it also means port 25 will be open to possible attacks and possibly even mail relaying—allowing others on the Internet to use your firewall to send out spam mail. Turning off port 25 access is the easiest way to prevent this problem. Other solutions can be found at http://www.sendmail.org/.
In Slackware, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.M and change the line:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q15m
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bm -q15m
In Red Hat 6.0, edit /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80sendmail and change the line:
daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail $([ "$DAEMON" = yes ] && echo -bd) \
daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail $([ "$DAEMON" = yes ] && echo -bm) \
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.

COLLINSVILLE — After their quarterback went down in the second quarter, the O'Fallon Panthers went to the Wildcat offense.
The Panthers scored four touchdowns in the second half to erase a 7-0 halftime deficit and beat the Collinsville Kahoks 27-13 Friday.
Versatile wide receiver Klayton Gettis replaced Camden Bauer behind center running a version of the Wildcat offense after Bauer sustained a possible concussion.
"You lose a quarterback and you're trying to find something that works," O'Fallon coach Brandon Joggerst said. "It's just the Wildcat package. We practiced it a little in the summer. We haven't used it all year, and we didn't come into the game planning to use it. We thought it was our best chance at the time to move the ball. Klayton made some great decisions and we were able to get some big chunks of yards and get a little bit of momentum."
Gettis threw a 62-yard touchdown pass to Tae'Mon Franklin and had an 18-yard touchdown run.
"When our quarterback went down, I knew our offensive coordinator would look to me to score touchdowns and help the team out," Gettis said. "I just stepped up when I was supposed to and did my job."
The Panthers also got their running game going as Kentrail Moran carried 21 times for 195 yards and scored the victory-clinching touchdown with 2:01 left to play.
The Panthers improved to 4-2 overall, 3-1 in the SWC, while the Kahoks fell to 1-5 overall, 0-4 in the SWC.
The Kahoks' coaching staff refused comment after the game.
Collinsville grabbed a 7-0 lead when Jamal Wellmaker broke loose around the right side for a 51-yard touchdown run with 8:01 left in the first quarter. Josh Calvin added the extra-point.
O'Fallon tight end Jacob Chapple appeared headed for the end zone after catching a pass over the middle early in the second quarter, but he lost the ball at the Collinsville 18 and the Kahoks' Ben Stephens fell on it.
"It was like a perfect storm in the first half," Joggerst said. "That's what we told our kids. Everything that could have gone wrong did. Good teams find ways to win, and I think we did that tonight."
The Panthers didn't get on the scoreboard until Moran threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Patrick Riley off a halfback pass with 5:34 remaining in the third quarter.
The extra-point kick was blocked by Collinsville's Brandon Fisher.
The Kahoks went up 10-6 on a 40-yard field goal by Calvin with 1:04 left in the third quarter, but the Panthers pulled in front 13-10 on Gettis' touchdown pass to Franklin on the final play of the third period.
Calvin connected on a 32-yard field goal to tie the score at 13-13 with 6:55 remaining.
Gettis' 18-yard touchdown run with 5:25 left put the Panthers ahead to stay.
An interception by Franklin with 1:26 on the clock sealed the win.

"Get Over It": That was the mantra of my household growing up. Needless to say, strong expressions of emotion were not encouraged. Crying was for the faint of heart. Years of therapy, meditation and other practices have helped me move beyond stoicism. I now have no problems crying. In fact, crying helps me solve problems. I enjoy a good cry every now and again. My spiritual mentors tell me it's cleansing and healing and it definitely feels like that. But the CPA/left brain part of me can't help but wonder: What really goes on in the body when we cry emotional tears—I-just-broke-up-with-my-boyfriend tears?
Cry and wash the stress right out of your bod (literally)
A study by Dr William H. Frey II, a biochemist at the St Paul-Ramsey Medical Centre in Minnesota, has shown that emotional tears contain adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), the culprit of increases in cortisol, that infamous stress hormone linked to greater levels of abdominal or visceral fat. This lovely layer of fat is not only unattractive but also plays a major role in a host of health problems. Such fat has been shown to increase risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. In women, it is also associated with breast cancer and the need for gallbladder surgery.
Clears the body, clears the mind
Sigmund Freud stated that blocked-up emotions can physically and psychologically hinder us. I believe (and the science backs the belief up) that we store emotions in the body. When you let your emotional gunk fester internally, it can result in aches and pains and other discomfort. That's when a good cry can help. Did you ever become emotional in a yoga pose? That's the result of yoga loosening up the emotional garbage you are storing–garbage that is ready to be released!
Acknowledge your emotions via crying and you can say goodbye to your destructive coping mechanisms
Not being a big fan of being emotionally expressive led me to resort to alcohol and occasional food fests when I wasn't facing my emotions head on. If you are able to sit with your emotions in a calm and grounded place, and let the tears out, you will not only feel better but also will be less likely to escape via "coping" mechanisms that are not so great for you.
In summary, cry until the cows come home. You will feel better emotionally and you will literally be cleansing your body of internal stress. What could be better than that?
I hope this helped you!! Please let me know how crying has worked for you: Are there specific times when a cry helped you move forward in your life? Are there specific emotions that crying is good at dissolving?
Stacy Slawitsky turned to yoga and mindfulness as a means to relieve the stress of a demanding job at a Big 4 Accounting Firm. Her passion to share the benefits of these practices with others led her to start ZenConnect. She conducts stress management programs for companies throughout the Boston area.

100% Waterproof Welded
Backpack liners
High Frequency radio waves WELD
the seams of a highly polyurethane
coated nylon fabric to form 100%
waterproof liners. These liners are
then sewn into our backpacks using
the welded tabs. By using a waterproof
liner on the inside, we can give you more
cycling specific features for your pack on
the outside like blinker mounts, pockets,
pocket attachment points, compression
straps and lock holsters. These liners also

are created in Autocad to ensure an
exact fit. Multiple prototypes are then
made and tested until we are happy
with every detail.
Once the production sample is
finalized, a marker is created
and multiple layers of fabric are
cut with a stack cutter.
These cut pieces are bundled with
webbing and buckles, delivered
to home sewers and sewn into
the constituent parts.
The parts from the home sewers
are picked up and go through a QC
procedure at our factory. Our
In House sewers take these parts
and sew them into complete packs
for each order, Proudly attach a
Made in America label and initial the
serial #.
Lastly we attach the waist belts,
insert the foam back and frame,
do the final Quality Control and
again sign the serial #s. Small
controlled runs like this ensure
you get the highest quality backpack.
The best warranty is a
Well Made Backpack
For this reason we use the best
materials and construction techniques available.
If you wash your pack occasionally
and don't drag it over pavement
or throw it under a bus, you stand
an excellent chance that you
never have to use this warranty.
