While the focus on universities' inadequate response to sexual assaults during a student's time on campus is an important one, most survivors on campus were survivors before they even stepped foot on our quads. Their need for support is just as important as the women and men who will experience assault once on campus.

According to numerous studies done by numerous institutions and published in numerous publications, the average person will have a much higher earning potential with some sort of math degree. Basically, this means that if I understood what E=MC squared meant, I would be driving a Lexus built in this decade instead of a 15-year-old Buick LeSabre. My math skills are just good enough to realize that when I look at my bank account every two weeks, the numbers referring to what I get arent higher than the numbers referring to what I spend. As it turns out, a 15-year-old car is just like a teenage child. It wants things constantly. It also needs things like gas and fresh oil and brakes that stop completely when you put your foot on that wide pedal.
For all the precision involved in the science of math, in every day life, we all know that numbers mean absolutely nothing. When I sign up for a $40 phone plan, I end up paying $53. In addition to the plan itself, there can be access charges, federal excise taxes, local taxes, state taxes and universal service charges. I understand the state and local taxes, but why exactly does the universe need a cut as well? Is this to deter some intergalactic invasion of some sort? I just want my phone for texting and accessing the Internet, not for searching for signs of intelligent life on Mars. (Although, if I could find signs of life on Mars with my phone, Ill bet I could parlay that into enough cash to buy a slightly used Prius. That would be sweet.)
I have several pairs of pants that are all numerically the same size, but numerically, they dont all fit around my waist the same way. Now, depending on how much carb-loading Ive been doing, I know my waist fluctuates, but that hardly accounts for the huge disparity. Theres some secret formula involved in pants sizing and I have my suspicions that it started with some disgruntled math major who couldnt get a date to the prom. As depressing as it is to put on the size 18 because sometimes the size 16 feels a little tight, its far more depressing to find that the 18 feels tighter in the thighs than the 16. When it comes to my thighs, I really dont appreciate anyone fudging the numbers.
Manipulating numbers never works when I try to do it for my own benefit. For instance, when I go to bed at 2:00 a.m. and get up at 7:00 a.m., I can never make that seem like eight hours of sleep. Strange. I thought when you got older you needed less sleep. Im not sure how much older I need to be to be considered older, but just the other day, I was super excited to see that Fiber One now makes a chocolate flavored cereal. When it comes to numbers in general, the concept is almost always depressing. Personally, Im tired of gaining and losing the same two pounds each week. (Actually, I have no hard evidence that it is the same two. All I know is that it keeps popping up on the digital display on my scale.) Everything about weight involves counting and measuring and making deals with the devil. I can have the 2,000 calorie milk shake if I dont eat anything else of substance all day. Certainly all of my experience with a measuring cup should count toward some sort of degree.
On a brighter note, Im getting a nice big tax refund this year. But think about what a tax refund is to begin with. Its money I lent the government and now theyre graciously returning it to me, which they only do because I ask. And if my dad wasnt an accountant, Id have to pay to ask. I am getting far more back this year than usual because of a school credit. However, compared to the amount I owe the government in student loans, the refund is a drop in the bucket. Also, unlike the money I lent the government, I have to pay them interest. Untangling the math involved in taxes is a thankless endeavor because the tax code is about a thousand pages long. Thats as long as a Stephen King novel. It also happens to be just as scary.
Weather forecasting is another big numbers game that permeates our lives on a daily basis. High temperatures mean that I have to work harder to camouflage the gooey parts of my body. Mold and pollen counts determine whether or not my office is going to sound like a third world countrys TB ward. Meteorologist is a good job if you can get it. Considering how much goes into converting Celsius to Fahrenheit, I imagine theres a considerable amount of math involved in this job. If I could figure out what a barometric pressure does, I could get a car that doesnt have a cassette player.
Ultimately, I consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent person. Its not as though Im completely hopeless when it comes to math either. When I recently had to take Algebra for my online degree, I knew how to find the answers on Google. (Just kidding...a bit.) Often times at work, my job as a graphic designer finds me having to convert fractions into decimal points. Ask anyone their thoughts on fractions and theyll tell you that anyone who can do that on a regular basis cant be too mathematically challenged. Unfortunately, my math abilities arent going to aid me in my quest to become independently wealthy. For the time being, Ill just have to be content with the ability to calculate the point at which repairing my car is more expensive than buying a new one. I just hope that when that time comes, Ill have enough to get a car with one of those fancy CD players. Dare to dream.

Mario Williams played the first seven games of the season with a torn ligament in his left wrist, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported today.
Schefter cited an unnamed team source in his report. If true, then Bills fans should be even more upset with how the organization handled the situation.
Dr. Thomas Hunt, a hand specialist in Birmingham, Ala., performed Williams' surgery last week, although the Bills refused to refer to it as anything other than a "procedure."
It's hard to believe the Bills' medical staff wouldn't be aware their $100 million pass-rusher had a torn ligament, yet Bills coach Chan Gailey claimed Williams' injury was too minor to include him on the injury report because he didn't miss any practices and never was in doubt for games.
The NFL fined the Bills $20,000 for failing to follow policies on reporting injuries, and in announcing the sanction called Williams' injury a sprain.
Williams also described the "procedure" as cleaning out the wrist. Repairing a torn ligament sounds more than custodial.
When it comes to the Bills and how they report their injuries, I have no idea what to accept as true anymore. Several of Ryan Fitzpatrick's teammates have mentioned the injured ribs he played with last year, but he never appeared on an injury report.
Gailey told me last month in Phoenix, while addressing Mark Anderson's knee injury, he deliberately plays dumb to avoid revealing too much information.
"I just don't want to tell you," Gailey said. "That's the bottom line. I know what it is. But it's better to be vague."

North Jefferson News
What to do during troubled economic times? Some people save their money, others throw everything out the window and start dancing.
That's what people did at the Gardendale Line Dance Workshop, which was held on Saturday, offering lessons to people interested in learning how to line dance. It was the workshop's fifth year, and its second year being hosted in Gardendale.
For $25, people were given a chance to learn the ropes of line dancing by five instructors.
Directed by Donna Barnett and Jackie Tally, Gardendale Line Dance Workshop drew a crowd of over 150 people.
It was originally anticipated to draw less than 150 but the number of attendants that registered went over the estimated number. A portion of those were from out of state, which included Tennessee and Georgia.
"We're happy here and they seem to love us," said Talley at the workshop. "We've got over 150 people so we're rolling fine. We haven't had any problems, everybody seems to be having a good time."
The first workshop was led by Frank Trace, who hails from Ohio. The others were led by Michael Thompson and Vicki Pierson, who are from Georgia and Tennessee respectively. Barnett and Tally, both Alabama residents, led the last two lessons.
Line dance is a type of dancing in which people organize into lines generally called "walls." Dancers execute their steps collectively. This type is very popular in the country music scene.
Several vendors from out of state were there to offer shirts and jewelry to patrons. Bill and Sherry Shadle from Tennessee sold studded T-shirts with various dance slogans and designs.
Tally teaches not only line dance but also ballroom and fitness classes as well. She owns Smart Moves, which is a fitness business that works with seniors. Instructors from Smart Moves have come to senior centers in north Jefferson to provided exercise.
Barnett has been instructing in dance for 20 years. She is originally from Florida but moved to Alabama several years ago.
Among the directors was Frank Trace, who is internationally recognized.
"We are just pleased to have him here in Alabama," said Tally. "It's his first time to teach in Alabama. He's won major international awards for the dances that he's choreographed."
Trace has won the Crystal Boot Award and won a Dancers Choice Award for choreographing Mama Maria.
The civic center was so pleased with the revenue brought in by the workshop that the directors asked Tally and Barnett to come back, so if anyone is bored next year and wants to get some exercise, it may be worth the money.
The Gardendale Line Dance Workshop will be back next year on July 27.

MOSCOW (AP) -- A Russian security agency says a Russian military officer has been convicted of passing missile secrets to the CIA and sentenced to 13 years in prison.
The Federal Security Service, the main successor to the KGB, said Lt.-Col. Vladimir Nesterets pleaded guilty to charges of passing classified data about missile tests to the CIA for money. It said Nesterets was convicted by a military court Friday.
The agency said that Nesterets worked as a senior engineer at Plesetsk launchpad in northwestern Russia. The facility run by the Russian military is used both for launching satellites into orbit and for testing missiles.
A terse statement issued by the FSB didn't say when Nesterets was arrested or give any further details.

The two operators of the former Puppies Galore pet store in Brick must pay thousands of dollars in fines and restitution, and have both received a lifetime ban from engaging in animal-related businesses.
Maria De Santis, 58, of Jackson, owned Puppies Galore on Hooper Avenue. Nathan "Nat" Sladkin, 72, of Farmingdale, was the store's manager. The animal cruelty cases against both were resolved last week.
On Jan. 26, 2012, authorities removed 39 puppies from the store – which was already closed due to health violations – after receiving a tip from a member of the public. The puppies were found to be sick and malnourished, officials said at the time, and some were taken to emergency animal hospitals for treatment.
The store's operating license was revoked after a special hearing before the Brick Township council a short time later, and a combined 42 counts of animal cruelty were brought against De Santis and Sladkin after the puppies were removed.
As part of a plea bargain with a special prosecutor, De Santis pleaded guilty to two civil counts for failure to provide a living creature with necessary sustenance in the form of veterinary care for sick dogs maintained at her store, as well as a municipal ordinance violation, NJSPCA President Rick Yocum said Monday in a statement on Monday.
She was fined $750 for the violations and ordered to pay $7,500 in restitution to various entities that provided veterinary care and sheltering for the animals, plus the prosecution of the case. She also agreed to a lifetime ban which prohibits her from "engaging in any business that is involved in the sales, brokering, or consulting of any domestic animals including dogs and cats in the State of New Jersey," Yocum said.
Sladkin pleaded guilty to two criminal crulety charges for failure to provide a living creature with necessary sustenance in the form of veterinary care for the sick dogs maintained at the store, as well as a municipal ordinance violation.
Sladkin was fined $1,000 for the violations and, ordered to pay $8,000 in restitution. He, like De Santis, also is now banned from participating in any business that deals with domestic animals.
"We are very pleased with the outcome, believe justice was served and appreciate the lifetime bans placed on both defendants," said Yocum. "I would like to thank the Jersey Shore Animal Shelter who was instrumental in helping us assemble the information to help us prosecute this case. We would also like to thank the special prosecutor assigned to this case for working closely with the NJSPCA and seeing this case to the end."
Yocum credited Lt. Thomas Yanisko of the NJSPCA's Law Enforcement Division for being instrumental in bringing the case to resolution.
Neither De Santis nor Sladkin could be reached for comment. Several phone numbers associated with both had been disconnected or otherwise unavailable when a reporter attempted to call.
The case brings to a close Sladkin's well-documented and controversial participation in the business of selling animals.
A pet store he previously owned in Point Pleasant Beach, Pet Depot, was the frequent site of protests, and he had faced criticism in Pennsylvania on allegations that he sold dogs from so-called "puppy mills." He was also once profiled in the Wall Street Journal.
The Puppies Galore case eventually led to a ban on new puppy stores in Brick Township, as well as a state legislative bill that would more heavily regulate the business overall.

The so-called "manifesto" posted by a rogue LAPD officer wanted for killing an Irvine couple on Sunday and a Riverside police officer early Thursday was still online as of 1 p.m. Feb. 7.
"I know most of you who personally know me are in disbelief to hear from media reports that I am suspected of committing such horrendous murders and have taken drastic and shocking actions in the last couple of days," a post on Pastebin dated Feb. 6 states.
The post is believed to have been composed by Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, the fired Los Angeles Police Department officer wanted for the slayings of a college basketball coach from Walnut, her fiance in Irvine, and a Riverside police officer early Thursday at Magnolia and Arlington avenues in Riverside.
"Outside agencies and individual officers on patrol," the post states. "If you recognize my vehicle, and confirm it is my vehicle thru a dmv/want warrant check. It behoves you to respond to dispatch that your query was for information purposes only.
"If you proceed with a traffic stop or attempt to notify other officers of my location or for backup you will not live to see the medal of valor you were hoping to receive for your actions," the post states.
"Think before you attempt to intervene," the post states. "You will not survive. Your family will receive that medal of valor posthumously. . . .
"No amount of IMINT, MASINT, and ELINT assist you in capturing me. I am off the grid. You better use your feet, tongue and every available DOD/ NON-DOD HUMINT agency, contractor to find me," the post states.
The link to the post is here http://pastebin.com/TAzPRfPy.
Dorner has been identified as a U.S. Navy reservist whose last known address was in La Palma.
He is described as black, 6 feet tall, 270 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He has been driving a gray 2005 Nissan Titan pickup, California license plate 7X03191. Police said Dorner may have switched license plates, possibly to a plate with the number 8D83987 or 8D83997.
Anyone who thinks they have seen Dorner was urged to call 911.

It's begun. Keep Rockland Beautiful (KRB) kicked off the 2012 Great American Cleanup (GAC) on Tuesday with a breakfast for the people and board members of Keep Rockland Beautiful, key sponsors and crucial volunteer organizers. They met at t in New City.
"With the cleanup this year, we're looking at educating people," said Sonia Cairo, director of KRB. "We're off to a very strong start. We already have (more than 40) teams registered."
Thousands of Rockland County residents team up in groups from just a handful of people to hundreds to remove tons of litter from streets, parks and waterways as part of an effort to make communities cleaner, healthier and more beautiful.
"I think it's great. The organization is something Rockland needs and they're doing a great job," said Gary Parahus of Gary's Gutter Service.
"Our goal is to partner with organizations like KRB to minimize the waste that's being generated and find outlets to reuse, recycle and reduce," said Kerri Scales, solid waste educator of the Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority.
There is also a new initiative this year: School Bag-A-Thon. Students can go out and clean up their neighborhoods and pledge dollars will go to support their school's PTA.
"Schools are really hurting for money. This is a way to get more enthusiasm for the clean up and they do it on behalf of the school," said Cairo. "They can get pledges per trash bag they collect or per hour they volunteer for."
"It's great that we have so much support," said R. Spencer Lauterbach, counselor of law in New City and KRB board president. "(Andy Stewart) has brought it to where it is today. The two most important things are to educate kids and to stop throwing things out of our windows."
Cairo is the new director of KRB this year after Andy Stewart was elected as Orangetown Town Supervisor last November.
"Things are well in hand (since I've left)," said Stewart. "I'm excited to start up my clean up team on April 21 at (Orangetown) Town Hall. We do plan on pushing it in Orangetown and getting as many groups as possible." He's going to lead his groups to the Clausland Mountain Trail, do habitat restoration and the rail trail project in Blauvelt.
"O&R has been involved in KRB since the inception," said Michelle Damiani, O&R manager of public affairs, KRB board member and New City resident. "We're continuing on with the mission of KRB in making people aware of their community. I was born and raised in Rockland. I'd like to keep it clean, keep it nice, keep it pretty."
In 2011, over 3,000 volunteers participated in the county and more than 3 million volunteers nationwide. Check out the website to find out how to form a group of join an existing one.
"It's an amazing event and hundreds come out. It's good to see that we're not alone in wanting to keep our towns clean," said Wayne Ballard, Clarkstown highway superintendent. "It helps each other to team up and move forward together to find efficient ways to clean up our community. As an elected official and highway superintendent, we have to find ways to do more with less."
"We also need financial sponsors. Without them, this organization cannot operate," said Sara Tucker of HSBC and a KRB board treasurer. "Our funds have been cut and any business you can spread the word to about sponsoring, we'd very much appreciate." Sponsors can get recognized on a t-shirt or banner.
The KRB website has all the information you'd need from an interactive map and spreadsheet of current cleanups, Bag-a-thon information and photo galleries of clean ups past.
"We're coordinating community clean ups with all types of groups—scouts, school groups—and they all do a full day of clean up," said Donna Drygas, Nanuet resident and is on the KRB Advisory committee. "All the small communities pick a day too."
Community Cleanups (organized to date):
- Nanuet Community Cleanup: April 14 (raindate April 15)
- Stony Point Community Cleanup: April 14
- Congers Community Cleanup: April 21
- Spring Valley Community Cleanup: April 21 (raindate April 22)
- Nyack Community Cleanup: April 22 (raindate April 29)
- Pearl River Community Cleanup: April 28 (raindate April 29)

Are You Financially Prepared for a Hurricane?
This season's storms are just getting started – here's how to get your home, and bank account, ready.
So far, this year's hurricane season has been relatively quiet. But meteorologists say that could soon change. In fact, earlier this year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted an above-average hurricane season, with up to 11 hurricanes that could form in the Atlantic Ocean, and experts say they're still expecting big storms to hit.
To prepare for the possibility that hurricanes will soon bear down on the tropics and parts of the United States, financial experts suggest that anyone in the path of potential storms should get their homes, and their finances, ready. Preparations include securing windows, clearing debris out of gutters, stocking up on food and flashlights, and stashing cash and valuables in easy-to-grab places.
The National Endowment for Financial Education suggests storing all your important documents together, along with cash and credit cards, so you can quickly get them and go if you need to leave your home in a hurry. Banks and ATMs can shut down during emergencies, so it's a good idea to have cash on hand in advance. The nonprofit also recommends keeping your insurance company's contact information handy in case you need to call it on the go and get information about reimbursements and coverage.
[See: 10 Things to Watch When Interest Rates Go Up.]
Now is also a good time to check up on what your homeowners insurance or rental insurance covers. According to the 2010 MetLife Auto & Home Insurance Literacy Survey, many homeowners don't know what their policy covers and sometimes end up paying for repairs that would have been covered by their policies.
The survey of about 1,200 adults found that almost half of all homeowners don't know how much coverage they have for the contents of their home, and one in three don't know how much their home is insured for. MetLife warns that this "knowledge gap" can lead to costly surprises and recommends that homeowners review their policies more closely.
Here's a quick way to test your knowledge on six common coverage gaps:
1. Do you think your insurance policy would reimburse you for earthquake damage?
The answer, according to MetLife, is almost always "no," unless you purchased a separate earthquake policy. Almost 30 percent of survey respondents thought the answer was "yes," and another 30 percent didn't know.
2. If your sump pump backs up and your house floods as a result, will your homeowners insurance policy reimburse you for the damage?
Despite the fact that most people believe the answer is "yes," it is unfortunately not the case. That means homeowners could have to shell out cash for costly repairs, unless they specifically added (and paid extra for) coverage for sump-pump failures.
[Read: The Cost of Keeping Your Home Safe.]
3. If new building codes mean you need to upgrade undamaged parts of your house, will your policy reimburse you for those costs?
While nearly two in three survey respondents said "yes," the answer is "no," according to MetLife. In most cases, policies don't pay for upgrades, even those that are mandated by new laws, in undamaged parts of homes, unless you take out additional "ordinance or law" coverage.
4. If you go away for the winter and your pipes freeze and break, will your policy cover that damage?
While policies remain valid even when you're on vacation or away for a long time, you have to take certain steps to protect your home, or you might be liable for the costs. For example, if you fail to keep the home heated or pipes drained, MetLife explains that any damage that results from freezing might not be covered.
5. Say you have auto and home insurance with the same company, and both your vehicle and house are damaged in a tornado. Will you pay one deductible or two separate ones for each item?
Chances are you need to pay two deductibles, even if both the car and house are damaged by the same storm. (Although MetLife says a handful of insurance companies, including MetLife itself, offer exceptions to this rule.)

Glasgow Attractions
Visitors to Glasgow may at first be overwhelmed by the variety of things to do and see here. There are many different attractions for tourists to choose from, whether they want to visit museums, learn more at the science center, or see the artwork of native Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
This city has a huge variety of museums, so you are sure to find a place that will be interesting to you. To learn all about the history of Glasgow and Scotland, you can visit places such as the People's Palace, which details daily life in Glasgow throughout history. It has items of interest for both children and adults, so it's a great family place. The Tall Ship at the harbour is a good place to go if you are interested in learning about the city's sailing history. You can tour a real, restored tall ship, the Glenlee, and learn all about it. The Tall Ship is a fun, educational experience for both children and adults.
If you are interested in art, there are quite a few museums with a variety of artistic offers. For contemporary art, stop by the Gallery of Modern Art. Here you will find a beautiful building which holds contemporary art from local people in Scotland as well as people of international fame from around the world. Another good option for contemporary art is the CCA, which has film, video, and sound art, as well as more traditional art forms.
Fans of Charles Rennie Mackintosh have several options while visiting this city. You can visit The Mackintosh House, where you can get a glimpse of the house that the artist lived and worked in. Also try to visit The Lighthouse, which was designed by Mackintosh, and the Glasgow School of Art, where he attended school. If you're a big fan and really want to see all of the important places relating to this artist, you can also get The Mackintosh Trail Ticket, which gives you entry to all of the attractions relating to him, as well as unlimited rides on the city buses for the day.
The Glasgow Science Centre is another great place to go for anyone interested in science, technology, or how the world works. They have over 300 exhibits and attractions at the science center, many of which are interactive or hands on. The science center also has an IMAX theatre, so you would be able to spend the whole day in this one building if you wanted to.

Andy Greenberg, Forbes Staff
Covering the worlds of data security, privacy and hacker culture.
After months of inaction and even a warning from the Department of Homeland Security, Oracle has finally released a fix for yet another security vulnerability in its ubiquitous and notoriously buggy Java software. But there's already been a fix available that's remain simpler and far more effective: Kick your Java habit altogether.
Despite Oracle's new patch, which the company posted to its website Sunday–more than four months after it was informed about the bug by Polish security firm Security Explorations–Java watchers in the security industry are recommending that users give up on the endless cycle of the program's bugs and fixes and instead turn it off in their browsers for good. "Users should simply disable it," says H.D. Moore, chief security officer at the security firm Rapid7 who has tested numerous Java exploitation techniques over the last year. "The amount of utility it offers is so much smaller than the risk it creates for users. It's much safer to leave it off."
The Department of Homeland Security took the rare step of issuing a warning to users late last week that a new flaw in Java had been integrated into multiple common "exploit kits," commonly-available software that would allow cybercriminal hackers to infect users' machines with malware via a Java applet when they visit an infected website.
The bug was just the latest in a series that wracked Oracle for much of 2012. In August a flaw in the software, also reported months earlier by Security Explorations, was exploited by hackers installing malware including the Poison Ivy trojan on target PCs. When Oracle released a patch, Security Explorations quickly found another flaw in the fix that would allow the new security measures to be bypassed. And the company followed that revelation with the discovery of yet another critical bug in the program.
Russian security firm Kaspersky reported in its third quarter analysis of security threats that Java was exploited in fully 56% of all known attacks that took advantage of vulnerabilities in software. And last summer, a Java vulnerability was used by the Flashback malware to create the first known large-scale botnet of Macs, which numbered more than 600,000 at its peak.
Apple, for its part, responded to Oracle's security failings by disabling the Java plug-in by default in all browsers on Mac OSX. Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer at software vulnerability analysis firm Qualys, says users of other operating systems should take the same step, only enabling Java on the rare occasions that they encounter a trusted website that requires the program. (A useful guide to uninstalling the program can be found on KrebsOnSecurity.)
Java in many ways goes against all the security trends that have made browsers harder to exploit in recent years. It still requires manual updates, despite several browsers' moves to automatically download and install new versions of themselves. And despite modern browsers' attempts to prevent websites from gaining access to a PC beyond a limited "sandbox," Java can in many cases allow attackers to escape those restrictions, access the full hard disk and making network connections with remote servers. "The attack surface is so big," Kandek says. "In many ways, you don't want Java to be able to do all the things that it does anymore."
As for Oracle's failure to maintain the security of the software, Kandek blames Oracle's focus on its corporate customers–Java, after all, was a partly consumer-facing addition to Oracle's product line acquired along with Sun Microsystems in 2009. He expects that Oracle will eventually wake up to the need for more vigilance in quickly detecting and blocking attacks on its consumer software, just as Microsoft has done over the last decade.
If it wants to maintain Java's hold in consumers' browsers, it had better. "I don't see these attacks against Java stopping," says Kandek. "It would be great if we could all just turn it off."

Why pick on Oracle and Java when Microsoft was and still is the biggest threat out there!
CrApple Troll. Pissed that you bought CrApple at $710 in Sept and it's lost $210 TANKING since?? Color yourself stupid.
Quote: "It (Java) still requires manual updates…"
Not so Joe. Not since, I believe, Java 6. See here. This is a screen grab from my installation:
Quote: "And despite modern browsers' attempts to prevent websites from gaining access to a PC beyond a limited "sandbox," Java can in many cases allow attackers to escape those restrictions"
Now you're talking, but the exploit is more likely to occur by downloading the malware files though the browser HTML code and then opening them with the applet, so this is a fault of the browser, not Java.
Java by default blocks offsite linking unless the applet is Signed, however, a programmer can self-sign an applet which then enables mischief.
Else, an applet is signed by Verified Certificate, through the in-house JNLP program or though trusted agents such as Verisign, so the matter of Self-Signage" when inserted in a web page needs to be eliminated.
Quote: "Java can in many cases allow attackers to escape those restrictions, access the full hard disk and making network connections with remote servers."
Technically, No. The Java system relies on a Policy/Permissions file which by default is set to disallow applets from writing any and all applet data to a user's hard drive.
So if this is an issue, it is possibly due to the Java Policy/Permissions file not being set to Read-Only, or Hidden, or secured as a jar with Computer I.D. embedded at installation if and when compiled (a suggestion!), else it is again the fault of the browser and/or the OS in allowing access to the files through the system, since the applet up front is blocked from doing so.
Either something else has accessed the files outside of the applet, else the user may have edited the Policy file to allow for I/O access to the hard drive.
Anyone, correct me if I am wrong. Java is too important a programming tool for study by the people of interest to be so callously tossed aside in favor of blind security.
And yes, Oracle needs to get their act together.
It's better still to uninstall the thing completely from your system, and just wash your hands of it.
Java is dead, long live Flash. (I hear those guys are still doing well.)
EASY TO SAY, NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO DO!! Yah we all know the Oracle has F'd up Java Script and the Tards Give JS the priority of Ear Wax at a Cardiology Conference. BUT major sites use JS unfortunately, like Farsebook, Twitter, various Google tools, etc and gobs of others, and they AREN'T GOING TO STOP ANY TIME SOON. Turn it off in your Browser and Farcebook has a Shit Fit, wants you to use it's crumby "mobile" version.
SO GET REAL!! OracleTards need to be Embarrassed into getting their shit together in a Bad Publicity Barrage!
This news just adds to their once-upon-a-time of being "unbreakable", doesn't it ?

May 5: Jury selection in the first-degree murder trial begins. It takes eight weeks to seat the 12 jurors and four alternates.
July 1: Durham District Attorney Jim Hardin says a blow poke, a fireplace tool, is likely the murder weapon. Defense attorney David Rudolf says the death came from an accidental fall.
July 14: A retired Durham police sergeant testifies that when he arrived at the scene of Kathleen Peterson's death, the amount of blood immediately made him suspicious.
Aug. 11: Brent Wolgamott, a former male escort, testifies that Mike Peterson arranged to pay him for sex three months before Kathleen Peterson's death.
Aug. 18: SBI agent Duane Deaver testifies that the blood spatters on the walls of the staircase, as well as the blood on Mike Peterson's shorts and sneakers, are evidence of a beating.
Aug. 22: Judge Orlando Hudson rules that evidence about the 1985 death of Mike Peterson's friend Elizabeth Ratliff in Germany is admissible.
Sept. 4: Assistant medical examiner Deborah Radisch testifies that the lacerations on Kathleen Peterson's head were consistent with a beating, not a fall.
Sept. 15: Forensic expert Henry Lee testifies that the blood spatters at the death scene are consistent with a fall, not a beating.
Sept. 17: The defense displays drawings re-enacting an accidental fall that could have caused the injuries Kathleen Peterson suffered.
Sept. 23: Rudolf surprises the courtroom by offering a blow poke that he says was found in the Peterson house over the weekend.
Oct. 10: After 14 hours of deliberations over four days, the jury finds Peterson guilty of first-degree murder. Hudson sentences him to life in prison without parole. Rudolf immediately appeals.
"The Staircase," produced by French documentary crew Maha films, airs on the Sundance Channel and later is named winner one of the 13 winners of the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards.
Henry Lee includes the Peterson case in his book "Dr. Henry Lee's Forensic Files."
April 18: Attorney Tom Maher argues before a three-judge panel at the state Court of Appeals for a new trial, saying that the trial judge should not have allowed evidence about Peterson's bisexuality and the death of Elizabeth Ratliff.

March 10: Judge Orlando Hudson rejects Peterson's appeal for a new hearing, saying he did not think the outcome of the trial would have been different had the trial lawyers known about the tire iron.
August: The N&O series "Agents' Secrets" questions SBI investigative tactics, including those used by Deaver. An audit ordered in the spring by Attorney General Roy Cooper finds more than 200 cases where official SBI lab reports did not reflect the results obtained in the lab. The most serious mistakes were contained in reports written by Deaver.
February: Rudolf asks for a new trial because of the new information affecting Deaver's credibility.
Dec. 14: Hudson grants motion for new trial.

Valley Center resident Christian Faelschle, 16, checks his answers while taking the written test for his provisional permit at the Escondido DMV. Far fewer drivers are getting licenses at the age of 16 today than a decade ago.
Ah, Sweet 16. The end of high school is in sight and the long, achy wait for the ticket to freedom ---- a driver's license ---- is finally over. Or not.
A mix of more restrictive teen-driving laws and the sagging economy might be causing more California 16-year-olds to wait until they're older to get their driver's licenses, reports the North County Times.
Department of Motor Vehicles data showed that while on Dec. 31, 1998, there were 112,332 drivers at the age of 16, there were just 66,174 on the same day in 2010.
And, no, it isn't that California is facing a teenager shortage. In fact, from 2000 to 2010, the state's 15- to 19-year-old age group grew by nearly 400,000 to 2.8 million, according to U.S. Census data.

Meet The 17-Year-Old Who Blew The Lid Off Racial Profiling With His iPod
"We're going to go out there and violate some rights." Hear the secret police recordings that will take your breath away. In a bad way.
Alvin: Yo, I just got stopped like two blocks ago, yo.
Officer 1: You know why? You look very suspicious.
Alvin: Because you're always looking I'm craz-
Alvin: Why are you try-
Officer 1: You fuckin' with me? You fuckin' took the shit. Take a fuckin' walk.
Alvin: Yo, why you push me like that for?
Officer 1: Shut your fuckin' mouth before I slap you.
Alvin: Why you push me like that for? Why you push me like that?
Officer 2: That's exactly how some shit will go down, just like that. Just like that. People don't like police because of the harassment, and what civilian's don't understand is that the police department is forcing us to do these unreasonable stops or you're going to get penalized.
Female Reporter 1: The mayor seemed completely unapologetic about the practice. He said it has to go forward, it's necessary. Do you have the same ...
Ray Kelly: I think the mayor's absolutely correct.
Male Reporter: Some people are very hurt by it and upset when they're stopped unnecessarily.
Ray Kelly: I understand that. At the very least, you're taking away people's time, so I understand people may not be happy with it. I can also assure you that I go to the communities, communities of color. People want more.
Male Reporter: [inaudible 00:02:05]
Ray Kelly: Absolutely.
Officer 1: I had this captain who walked into the precinct and gave a speech about harassing the public. His words were, "We're going to go out there, and we're going to violate some rights." We hear it from the captain down. We want 250s. This is stop, question and, frisk.
Victim: Yeah, 116th Street between Madison and Park. He just stops me. and then pushes me. telling me he's going to punch me in my face.
Alvin: I was walking home from my girlfriend's house, and a cop car went past me. A couple of seconds later, I heard the car turn around, and they just popped out. They all jumped out of the car.
I decided to record it because I was getting stopped a lot, and I didn't have evidence of cop being disrespectful or anything, so I would hit the button and record the whole thing.
Officer 1: Oh you again, man.
Alvin: I just got stopped like two blocks ago.
Officer 1: You know why? You look very suspicious.
Alvin: Because you're always looking I'm crazy.
Officer 1: Because you keep looking back at us, man. Don't do that shit.
Sergeant: Why does he have an empty book bag?
Alvin: Because you're always looking crazy, yo, coming up the block. Always.
Officer 1: Cops are looking for a jogger, man.
Alvin: [inaudible 00:03:20]
Officer 1: Listen to me. Our job is to look for suspicious behavior. When you keep looking at us like that, looking back ...
Alvin: Because you're always stopping ... I just got stopped like two blocks away.
Sergeant: Put your hands up.
Officer 1: Because you keep doing that shit, man. Listen to me. When you were walking the block with your hood up, and you keep looking back at us like that ...
Sergeant: Why do you have a fuckin' empty book bag?
Officer 1: We think you might have something.
Alvin: Because I have my hoodie in there.
Sergeant: They do that. You have your hoodie on your body. Why you a fuckin' wise ass?
Alvin: well, It was cold.
Sergeant: You want me to smack you?
Alvin: You're going to smack me?
Sergeant: Yeah.
Alvin: You're going to smack me?
Officer 1: You a wise ass?
Alvin: No, you asked me why I had a book bag on.
Officer 1: Who the fuck are you talking to?
Alvin: You asked me why I had a book bag on.
Officer 1: Who the fuck do you think you're talking to man?
Alvin: You asked me if I had a book bag on.
Officer 1: Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?
Sergeant: Shut your fuckin' mouth. Come on.
Alvin: Why are you touching me for?
He was holding me. He was going through my pockets. He was going up, down, he was going through my sweater. That's when he told me keep my hands on my head, so I was like this the whole time.
Officer 1: You want to go to jail?
Alvin: What for?
Officer 1: Shut your fuckin' mouth, kid.
Alvin: What am I getting arrested for?
Officer 1: Shut your mouth.
Alvin: What am I getting arrested for?
Officer 1: For being a fucking mutt! You know that?
Alvin: That's a law, being a mutt?
Officer 1: Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?
Sergeant: Do you want to go to jail?
Alvin: Because you're over here telling me, why I have a book bag, why I have a book bag on? I said, "For my hoodie."
He decided to take my hand from here, and he put it behind my back, like that.
Why you putting my arm all the way back there?
Officer 1: Shut your fuckin' mouth.
Alvin: You're asking the questions.
Officer 1: Weren't you a fuckin Explorer at one point?
Alvin: I was.
Sergeant: Your dad's on the job?
Officer 1: Show some fuckin' respect.
Alvin: Because you're always stopping me for no reason.
Sergeant: Do you want somebody talking to your dad like this?
Alvin: Why? Why are you pushing me?
Sergeant: I will break your fuckin' arm off right now.
Alvin: You're going to break my arm.
Sergeant: Yeah.
Alvin: For what?
Sergeant: Dude, I am going to fuckin' break your arm, and then I'm going to punch you in the fuckin' face.
Officer 1: Who's your father? Your father got a job?
Alvin: You're going to punch me in my face?
He don't got a phone.
Officer 1: In traffic?
Alvin: Yep.
Officer 1: He's a traffic cop?
Sergeant: Figures.
Officer 1: A traffic cop.
Alvin: Okay, he's a traffic ...
Officer 1: Shut the fuck up.
Alvin: why you push me like that for?
Officer 1: Shut your fuckin' mouth.
Alvin: Why you push me like that for?
While the sergeant's holding me like this, he's like, "I'm going to break your arm." I'm like, "You're going to break my arm?" He's like, "Yeah, and I'm going to punch you in the face."
I was like, "You're going to punch me in the face," and he's like, "Yeah."
He's like, "And then I'm going to arrest you." I'm like, "You're going to arrest me for what?" He's like, "For being a mutt."
He grabbed me by my book bag, and he started pushing me down. I'm going backwards down the hill, and he just kept pushing me and pushing me. He looked like he was going to hit me. I felt like they was trying to make me resist or fight back.
Recording: What are doing?
Why you push me like that for?
Put your book down. I swear to God. Why you push me like that for?
Take a fuckin' walk. Why you ...
Take a fuckin' walk. Why you ...
You fuckin mutt! You fuckin' took the shit. Take a fuckin' walk. Yo, why you touch me like that?
Trevor: I'm mad just hearing that. Not many words really could describe that. It's just disturbing, but that's exactly what's happening. I could relate to what he's doing because I know that situation. They just don't got no respect for us, and they wonder why we don't have respect for them.
For them to call him a name like that, that's just crazy.
Interviewer: I think that during stops that some police officers try to provoke so that they can justify an arrest?
Officer 2: Of course they do. A lot of police officers be trying to set civilians off, and then once they start talking, start cursing, they can lock them up for anything.
There was two minorities leaning against the wall. They weren't doing anything. My sergeant ordered me to write them, "Blocking pedestrian traffic" If you're a certain ethnicity standing on the corner, lieutenants, sergeants, they have no problem searching you, violating your rights, and racial profiling.
There was one statement that the sergeant said about what he used to do. He used to stop a guy walking down the street with baggy pants, his underwear hanging out. He'd just stop him. He says, "I know he's probably up to nothing, but I just stopped him anyway just to get a 250."
Trevor: There's one cop that everybody in the neighborhood knows. It happened to us like three times already. He was like, "Now, come here."
They got out of the car, they threw my friend on the car. I'm still walking. He spun me around and punched me in my stomach. They started patting us down, and they just left us there.
Ray Kelly: What we're trying to do is make certain that it's done as professionally as possible; proper respect is shown, and done according to the law.
Julio Valentin: This goes all the way up to Commissioner's office. I'd say even the Mayor's office, where they're trying to be proactive and say, "Look, we're stopping people. We're getting drugs and guns off the streets."
Of the 600,000 people that were stopped last year, only 1% of those that were stopped were carrying weapons.
Reporter 1: The NYPDs controversial Stop and Frisk policy ...
Reporter 2: NYPD program known as Stop and Frisk also ..
Reporter 3: Last year, New York police officers stopped and interrogated people nearly 686,00 times.
Reporter 4: A federal judge ruled today that a lawsuit raised serious questions about quotas, racial profiling, and constitutional rights.
Julio Valentin: The public isn't aware of what's happening, but everything is being looked at as far as numbers. It's a number game.
What did you get last year? You have to match it, and give me more this year.
Officer 3: We're just looking at your activity based on other people's activity within your command. They feel that you've been below standard.
All I'm asking you is to avoid anything further. Do a little bit more.
Officer 2: I'll work on it.
Officer 3: It's not that hard to a 250. I ain't going to lie. When I was doing my first 250 first time coming out, I was big on not "I'm not stopping nobody for no 250." But then I kept getting hit and hit hard about, "You need to do 250s, you need to do 250s."
So, I started doing them just to keep the heat off of myself because I didn't want to be in no type of monitoring or anything like that. I did the 250s just to do them.
So, will you use your ...
Officer 4: Yes, I'll do some writing.
Officer 2: They're trying to keep all of this stuff quiet. This is my proof that they're putting pressure on me to write summonses.
Julio Valentin: Commanders are trying to be proactive or show that they're being proactive. Here you have a system where people are told, "Get those numbers to where they should be, and you're going to get your promotion."
Officer 2: The Commanding Officer wants to become a Deputy Inspector. The Executive Officer wants to become a Commanding Officer. If you do well by keeping arrests up and the summonses up, you will be promoted to the next rank.
They put pressure on the police officers to generate numbers and arrests.
Julio Valentin: Let's be real, it is a quota. Nobody wants to call it that, but that's what it is. They call it a performance objective, they call it a goal. They can mask it however they want. It's a quota, and it does exist.
Officer 4: Some of us under the stress make them up. Some of us under the stress stop innocent people and search them. There are certain units out there that will just run around and stop everybody.
Officer 2: What happens to the officer if they don't do what the police department tells them to do as far as these quotas, they will come after you. Come after you meaning transfers, give you low evaluations.
Officer 4: They give you unwanted assignments, put you in a post which is very dangerous, high crime, by yourself, in a corner. This is a form of retaliation.
Officer 2: Basically, a change of tours, put you on a midnight. They make you look bad on paperwork, and that paperwork will trail you for the rest of your police career.
Officer 4: Knowing that your livelihood's at stake, you meet the quota.
Julio Valentin: It does create this feeling of, "Hey listen, I've got to get my numbers." When you put that pressure on the officer, this us-
versus-them mentality does exist.
Officer 2: When I came into this police department, I wanted to help people, but the civilian population is being hunted. Instead of being protected by us, they're being hunted, and we're being hated.
Officer 4: The police department is pushing the new guys to be bounty hunters, and I use that word because that's exactly what it is. They're hunting.
Officer 2: There's a lot of officers who are fed up and want to do something about it, and there's people who are scared.
Julio Valentin: There's a lot of officers that would like to tell their story, but nobody wants to hear the truth. Nobody wants to hear the bad.
Officer 4: We need police, but the police department needs to change things.
Alvin: At one point, I did want to be a cop to help people and mostly just be able to wear a badge and the uniform, be proud of it, but now I feel like I'm not sure because they're not there to help people any more. They're just there to stop them, humiliate them, make them feel bad.
There's no excuses for the way they treated me.
Officer 2: This one individual who was thinking about doing NYPD, the first thing I told him is, "Definitely not. This job -- racial profiles
-- will force you to do things that you don't want to do." We're supposed to be the best in the world. We're the best at making money, and we're the best at arresting and summonsing everybody.

If what the police say is true, this guy needs to go back to robbery 101.
Zackary Dexter Pace, 24, is accused of robbing the Jack's restaurant in Pinson, Ala. where he worked, according to Al.com.
Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies said Pace finished his shift Friday only to return moments later with a gun, wearing a disguise that was so bad his fellow employees thought he was kidding.
"The disguise was a basic black mask showing his eyes," Chief Deputy Randy Christian said in an email to The Huffington Post. "The employees recognized him immediately by his eyes and the poor attempt he made at trying to disguising his voice and the way he was dressed. In fact, at first they told him to stop joking before they realized he was serious."
Pace allegedly went one step further to ensure he was arrested, showing up Monday to Jack's while a sheriff's detective was doing employee interviews about the robbery, in which an undisclosed amount of money was taken.
Pace is charged with first degree robbery.
As foolhardy as Christian said this robbery was, he can think of one other that might challenge it for the worst robbery attempt in Jefferson County.
"The suspect was going to rob a quick cash business and was filling out an application waiting for another customer to leave," Christian said. "When the customer left, he pulled his gun and robbed the clerk. As luck would have it, when our detective got there he found that the suspect had written his real social security number on the application."
Christian sums up both cases nicely.
"You can't make this stuff up."

East Carter's Conner Staton hasn't lost a 62nd District in his high school career. As a senior, he wasn't going to let that change.
Staton pitched a complete game — one that was interrupted by an hour and 40-minute rain delay — to lead East Carter over Morgan County, 5-1, in the 62nd District championship on Tuesday at West Carter High School.
After play was halted because of lightning, East Carter coach Jeremiah Shearer originally was going to take Staton out of the game. But the senior found a way to talk his coach into letting him back on the mound.
"I was thinking while I was out there warming up (after the weather delay) that it was my senior year and I want to try and come out there and finish this game," Staton said. "I told him my arm was feeling fine, but at first he told me no. He then brought me back in and asked me how my arm was feeling and I told him it was better than before we started and he said he was going to put me back in.
"It gave me butterflies because I knew I had a chance go out and finish the game."
Staton not only finished the game, but he shut the door on Morgan County. In the final three innings after the delay, the senior allowed no hits and struck out four.
Overall, he allowed just two hits and struck out eight to pick up the win.
"We were leaning another way but Conner talked me out of it," Shearer said. "I told him there are not a whole lot of pitchers I would have left out there, but he's a competitor and you could see on his face that he had it."
East Carter took an early 1-0 lead but was finding itself losing momentum heading into the fourth.
After hitting a double off the left-field fence, Morgan County's Zach Bartley found himself at third. Staton then threw a wild pitch that allowed Bartley to score and tie the game up at 1-1.
The Cougars put a scare in East Carter with runners on first and third with two outs, as Larrin Collins hit a line drive to deep center field.
But before it could plate the two runs, center fielder Cole Brammer made a spectacular diving catch that saved East Carter from falling behind 3-1.
"That was the turning point in the game," Shearer said. "He saved two runs, and instead of going down 3-1 in the rain delay, we're tied at 1-1."
In the bottom of the fourth, with two on and two out, lightning struck to prompt the lengthy delay.
After the delay, Morgan County coach Mark Easterling also decided to let Collins, the Cougars' starter, back on the mound.
Brammer doubled to right field off Collins on a ball that was hard to handle because of the wet grass. It plated a pair of runs.
"That grass was a little wet and they put the ball in play and it gets by our outfielder," Easterling said. "It's a big momentum break right there in the game. East Carter is a good, solid team and they took advantage of situations we didn't."
East Carter added two more runs in the fifth, one on a run-scoring double by Cody McDavid and another by a Cole Boggs single up the middle.
After sitting around for almost two hours, the Raiders picked up five hits and four runs when they were able to take the field again. That's pretty good if you ask Shearer.
"We talked about putting the pressure on Morgan County," Shearer said. "We wanted to try and hit some balls on the ground and have them make some plays, and I thought we did that in the later innings and woke the bats up."
The win marked the sixth straight 62nd District title for East Carter (17-16) and the 15th in the past 17 seasons. It will also be the Raiders' 17th straight trip to the 16th Region Tournament.
Said Staton: "I wasn't going to be the first one in six years to lose. That wasn't going to happen. I wanted to win this for my team and my school."
Morgan County (18-8) will also move on to the 16th Region Tournament, held at Ashland, starting on Monday.
Collins, Kelsey (5) and Stamper. Staton and Wells. W — Staton. L — Collins. 2B — Bartley (M), McDavid (E), Brammer (E).
All-Tournament Team
Tanner Tackett (West Carter); Ryan Hanson (Morgan County); Larrin Collins (Morgan County); Zach Bartley (Morgan County); Conner Staton (East Carter); Cole Brammer (East Carter); Jesse James (East Carter); Derek Keller (East Carter).

Zach Lokken (Durango, Colo.) placed 9th in the Under-23 men's canoe final on Sunday, as the Junior Slalom World Championships came to a close.

18-year-old man arrested on suspicion of stealing from a car in Gillingstool, Thornbury
3:31pm Thursday 24th January 2013 in News By Marion Sauvebois
AN 18-year-old man from Thornbury was arrested on suspicion of theft in the early hours of this morning.
Patrolling officers spotted a man acting strangely by a car in Gillingstool after around 1am today, Thursday 24.
They arrested an 18-year-old nearby at about 1.15am on suspicion of theft from a vehicle and going equipped for theft.
He was later released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Neighbourhood PC Natalie Draper said: "Thornbury is a lower crime area, but I'd still ask people to be security-conscious. "Always make sure your car is locked when you leave it, with nothing left on view inside. It's best to take your sat nav and mobile phone with you, and it's a good idea to register your car stereo system at www.immobilise.com"

Original recipe yields 1 dozen
- In a small saucepan, heat milk, water and butter until very warm, 120 degrees F (50 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 3/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Mix milk mixture into flour mixture, and then mix in egg. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into smooth balls, and place on a greased baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Cover, and let rise for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- For Hot Dog Buns: Shape each piece into a 6x4 inch rectangle. Starting with the longer side, roll up tightly, and pinch edges and ends to seal. Let rise about 20 to 25 minutes. Bake as above. These buns are pretty big. I usually make 16 instead of 12.

I've been making this recipe for a few years now. It's even easier if you have a bread maker. Just throw all of the ingredients into the bread maker, making sure to slightly beat the egg first. Run it on the dough cycle. Once that's complete, follow the rest of the recipe from step 3.
Great recipe! I have started a baking/cooking business and I made these to go with shredded bbq beef for sandwiches. After a few trys I got them exactly how I wanted them and they get rave reviews from the members of the social club I cook for. After the dough is mixed and kneaded I do let it rise in a greased, covered bowl for about an hour. Punch it down and turn it out and cut it into 8 pieces. I form them into balls and put on the greased sheet and flatten. Cover them with a light dish towel and let rise again about another hour. After this rising I brush some egg white on 4 of them and sprinkle with sesame seeds then bake as directed. I make onion rolls from this too. I just add 2 Tablespoons dried minced onion and 1/2 Teaspoon onion salt (decrease regular salt to 1 Teaspoon)to the flour mix (before the milk and eggs are added) and after the second rising I bursh egg white on them and sprinkle more dried minced onion on top and bake. The onion rolls in particular are fabulous with the shredded beef sandwiches!
Instant yeast conversion: 1 package instant yeast is about 1 Tablespoon; to substitute regular dry yeast use 1 tbsp + 1 tsp (4 tsp total). Let it proof before adding to recipe, and use 2 rises. If using quick-rise yeast, use the same amount (4 tsp), add it directly with the flour, but omit the first rise; instead let it rest for 10 min. I substituted 1 cup of white flour with: 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup oat bran, and 1/4 cup flax meal. I also used sucanat (raw sugar) instead of white. Gives a very different flavour and it's a bit heavy, but still very yummy and better than store-bought!
