I have been working on my family history for over forty years. I consider Findagrave an important research tool. Unlike some others, I do post genealogical information on my memorials. Budding genealogists appreciate any help they can get. I am a native south Georgian.

Dasher Cemetery, Dasher GA
Hi Francine,
Since you are in Southern Georgia, I am hoping that you can point me in the right direction. I am tying to find someone that would have information of people that are buried in the Dasher Cemetery Cemetery. I know there was a H. W. White buried there, but I do not know what the initials stand for. His wife was Lola L. Ousley White. If you know anyone that would have the full names of the people buried in Dasher Cemetery and can refer them to me, I would be very grateful.

Francine, Do you know of any list of those buried in Mt Plesant Cemetary in Waycross, GA that would allow to locate those that were possibly buried with wooden grave markers that are now gone and the grave unmarked? I assume no but thought I would ask. Thanks...Len George

John H. Dasher
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I added pictures to his grave. I added about four. I also found his wife and two children. I have linked them all together. I hope that this will help you in your research. I put up a Family Plot of the Dasher. There is another Dasher in the plot. Im not sure how she would be related.

Back on May 24, the Albemarle boys soccer team opened the Northwest Region tournament with a 2-0 win at home over Woodbridge.
That game started an unlikely run that the Patriots hope to continue on Tuesday, when they host Grassfield at 6 p.m. in the AAA state quarterfinals.
"I think once we one the first regional tournament game against Woodbridge, I think the kids gained some confidence and some belief," coach Scott Jackson said at practice on Monday. "They kind of had a look in their eyes like, 'maybe we can do this.'"
"We've come a long way," said junior defender Matt Sheffield. "I mean, Albemarle hasn't had a team reach this level in like 10 years. And to be on the team and reach this level of competition has just been exciting. It's been great, and we've just been feeding off the adrenaline, game in and game out."
"At the beginning of the season we said we definitely wanted to make regionals. So now that we're into states, it's a little bit of a surprise," admitted junior midfielder Luc Fatton. "But we have a really talented group this year. So we were kind of expecting it, but a lot of things had to go right for it to happen."
The Patriots followed the win over Woodbridge by shutting out Patrick Henry on the road in the regional quarterfinals. Two days later, they blanked perennial power Osbourn Park to clinch a spot in this week's state tournament.
That set up a rematch with Colonial Forge -- a team that had already beaten Albemarle three times this season -- in last Thursday's Northwest Region title game. After falling behind 2-0 at the half, the Patriots rallied for a 3-2 win, giving them a home game in the state quarterfinals.
"It's just a reward," said Jackson. "I mean, we had three brutal road games, and they came out on top in all three. So I think they've earned it. They get to play in front of their peers, which they're really excited about."
"It's going to be crazy," said sophomore goalkeeper Matt Natale. "We have a lot of fans coming. Everyone's supporting us. Being at home, on our home turf, is going to be perfect for us."
"We're really excited," said Sheffield. "We have so many people coming out to the game, that we know of. And we're just going to feed off of that adrenaline. We're definitely going to be ready."

If you thought the Delhi gang rape would cause a serious debate on women's rights in India, you'd be half right. Let's look at the other half: last December's brutal incident seems to have put a spell on India's politicians, holy men and otherwise educated people.
From suggesting that the rape victim should have called her rapists "brother" to blaming her stars, plenty of reasons cited for the crime lay the blame on the women whom men brutalise, or portray women in ways that reveal our skewed attitude toward women and their place in our society. When given an opportunity to figure out ways to improve the education and behaviour of men, and thus try to reduce the number of rapes that occur in India, many people revert to the more traditional method: limit the rights of women.
This is a partial list compiled by me and Robert MacMillan. Please suggest more. We'll keep updating this as long as we have to...
UPDATE: BJP Minister from Madhya Pradesh, Babulal Gaur, commenting on a controversy regarding dresses, said "foreign culture" is not good for India. "Women in foreign countries wear jeans and T-shirts, dance with other men and even drink liquor, but that is their culture. It's good for them, but not for India, where only our traditions and culture are OK." In what looks like an attempt to hedge his bets, he also said, "Let women consider what is good and bad for them." (Business Standard)
Shankaracharya of Puri Swami Nischalananda Saraswati declared western influence responsible for destroying the values and principles of the country. "There is need to change this. Before Independence we were able to maintain our culture and values but in the last 65 years we have lost a great part of it. Such horrific incidents don't happen all of a sudden. They happen when the thin line of culture and values are crossed in the name of civilization and development." (Times of India)

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or 18K gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
One of the oldest known gems, turquoise has been prized for thousands of years. The Egyptians believed it had powerful mystical properties, and turquoise jewelry has been found interred with 7,500-year-old mummies. Ancient manuscripts from Persia, India, Afghanistan and Arabia say that the health of a person wearing turquoise could be assessed by variations in the color of the stone. Montezuma's treasure, now displayed in the British Museum, includes a carved serpent covered by a mosaic of turquoise.
Turquoise was especially revered by the Native American culture, an association that dates back to the Aztec empire more than 700 years ago. For the Aztecs, turquoise was reserved for the gods and mere mortals were forbidden to wear it. They believed it to be a gem of good fortune and a commodity more valuable than gold. Native Americans believed turquoise protected people from demons and they even placed turquoise in tombs to guard the dead. The stone's colors were thought to be symbolically blue for the heavens and green for the earth. Often warriors tied turquoise to their bows to ensure accurate shots.
Today, turquoise is still believed to provide protection and bring luck. It is said to also promote prosperity, love, healing, courage and friendship. The stone is thought to relax the mind and ease mental tension.
The gem's opaque turquoise color varies from shades of greenish blue to deep cobalt to sky blue. Some varieties display white or brown matrixes, which are streaks of the mother stone from which they came, while others have veins of color called "spiderwebs" running through them. Generally, the bluer the blue, the more highly valued the stone. A clear, even texture without mottling or veins is also preferred. The most rare and valuable color is an intense azure, but the most common is the mild to medium sky blue. Sometimes imitated by minerals such as chrysocolla, turquoise stones are often dyed or colored with coatings of various resins.
In the 13th century, turquoise was mistakenly believed to have come from the country of Turkey. Hence, its name came from the French word for Turkey, "Turquie." The stone was actually brought to Europe from Persia (now Iran), via Turkey. It is a mineral usually found in association with copper deposits and is sometimes mined as a by-product of copper mining.
Although turquoise is found in desert regions worldwide, the finest and most valuable comes from Iran. Iranian turquoise is a pure robin's egg blue that is free of green overtones, matrix or black veins. Perhaps the most famous turquoise today, however, comes from the southwestern United States. The occurrence in Arizona and New Mexico produces greener shades of the stone with matrix streaks of various colors.
While only ranking between 5.0 and 6.0 on the Mohs Scale of hardness, turquoise remains quite popular for jewelry. In Europe, turquoise rings are given as forget-me-not gifts, while in the United States, the stone is given as traditional 5th and 11th wedding anniversary gifts. It has even become a modern consideration for the December birthstone. When wearing turquoise over the years, the stone will absorb oil from a person's skin, causing a slight change to the color of turquoise.
A selection of our jewelry is made of sterling palladium alloy. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of precious metals. By replacing a portion of the copper content used in standard sterling silver with palladium, this proprietary formula renders a precious metal with superior performance attributes. Sterling palladium is five times more tarnish-resistant than standard sterling silver and has strength similar to that of 14K gold.
Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939, originally as an alternative to platinum for making white gold. Its naturally white color requires no rhodium plating. Additionally, palladium is proportionally much lighter than platinum and is ideal for use in heavier gemstone jewelry. It is a more expensive alloy than nickel, but it seldom causes the allergic reactions that nickel alloy can.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.

About the Guest
Guest Michael Valitutti G.G. (GIA) is a graduate gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America with a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for gemstones and jewelry. Winner of two design competitions and the subject of numerous articles and industry news, Michael introduced Sterling Palladium Alloy to America in 2006 with the launch of Gems en Vogue II.
Before entering the jewelry business, Michael had decided to pursue his MBA. However, before returning to his studies, he took a summer job working for a friend - a jeweler in a swanky area of downtown Toronto. He recalls, "I liked it so much, I decided to pursue this career full time, so I asked for a refund of my tuition and the rest is history." It's no surprise that Michael ended up on TV selling jewelry. More than 30 years ago, he did a pilot for his own TV show. He also worked at the TV station on weekends, working his way up to floor director. Now he is at home on TV and at home in the jewelry business.

ASCB Kaluza Prize Reflects ASCB's Concern that Young Scientists Are Now a Vulnerable Population
ASCB Post. It is a significant moment for our Society as we have made the training of young scientists a priority.In the midst of the frantic preparations here at the national office for the Annual Meeting and the ASCB Council, plus end-of-year budgeting and all the rest just around the corner, I want to pause to salute the winners of the ASCB Kaluza Prize supported by Beckman Coulter for outstanding graduate student research. The news of the ASCB Kaluza winner and nine additional ASCB Beckman Coulter Distinguished Graduate Student Achievement travel awards broke today in the
The winner, Tina W. Han, was a graduate student at the University of Texas Southwestern when she did her Kaluza-winning research. Han is now a postdoc at UCSF. Her research, together with that of the other nine Kaluza distinguished researchers, simply wowed the selection committee of cell biology superstars. This is a group of scientists who are hard to impress—trust me, I work with them regularly—and who rarely bust out with high praise. But faced with the Kaluza entries, they sang a different song indeed. So my congratulations go to all the winners. I too was impressed by your abundant talent and evident passion which you translated into outstanding results in cell biology. Perhaps in the future this work will open the road to concrete applications in health or other areas that benefit society. I see in these young but already distinguished scientists the thought leaders of the future. It is an honor to ASCB to have you among our members.
I am particularly proud of this initiative because it is the result of a new partnership with a company, Beckman-Coulter, which provided much of the funding for the ASCB Kaluza Prize project. Like many other projects that we are planning for 2014, this initiative with the private sector is not about promoting a specific company or their products; rather, it is about bringing together natural allies and needed resources to support the best science and the brightest scientists. This prize is about promoting cell biology and basic science. It is about strengthening our workforce by accelerating the careers of our younger members.
The ASCB Kaluza Prize supported by Beckman Coulter is geared toward academic researchers who performed outstanding research during their graduate student training. But the ASCB wants to accelerate the careers of its members in areas beyond traditional academia. As proof of that commitment, we will hold a two-week course in 2014 for ASCB members considering a career in industry. In collaboration with the Keck Graduate Institute and with the generous support of another company, EMB Millipore, ASCB will organize the course, "Managing Science in the Biotech Industry: An Intensive Course for Students and Postdocs," for 40 graduate students and postdocs. They will head for the Keck campus in Claremont, California, to learn how science is done in industry and what skills and competencies they will need to succeed. EMD Millipore, our corporate sponsor, will completely underwrite this high-level course so that the 40 young scientists selected will attend at no cost to themselves. Again, this is another initiative that unites common interests to facilitate professional development of young scientists and accelerate their careers.
This year at ASCB we have paid particular attention to young scientists. Many feel lost in the current fog of bad economics and worse political shortsightedness. They are worried and we are worried about their careers, especially over the next five or so years. At ASCB, we recognize that early career scientists are a vulnerable population today. We know that if we lose this generation of scientists, we risk losing a generation's worth of discovery. A country that has tossed away its rising young scientists will end up as a country short on innovation and short on a future. The ASCB has taken this task of protecting young scientists very seriously because we cannot afford to fail. Among those changes, ASCB established a new committee for postdocs and graduate students (COMPASS). And in a matter of months, COMPASS has amazed us. Its members have started several initiatives, including firing up a trainee-focused blog and increasing professional development at the Annual Meeting.
I like to think that our collective efforts have resulted in some small but encouraging gains. ASCB's graduate student membership is up by 9% this year, which is a significant increase in any membership category. But it is especially heartening to learn that it is young scientists who see ASCB as a society that helps them as individuals and speaks for them as a group. It is easy to over-interpret a single change like this. There could be multiple determinants at work here. Still, it is good news that so many graduate students find value in our initiatives. This is what we are about—offering what our members need.
Which brings me to offer a few words directly to the ASCB Kaluza winners. Where your careers will take you and what you will accomplish by the mid-21st century is impossible to imagine in 2013. But I like to think that this year, ASCB and our friends at Beckman Coulter stepped in at the right time with this prize and with some encouragement. Good luck to you all. We honor you with this prize but you honor us with your membership in the ASCB community. Personally, I cannot wait to meet you—or see you again—in New Orleans.

I think we were just lucky with the timing, Haggerty explained of their being lumped into the emo resurgence. Right around the time we started the band that all happened. Were not haters of the emo revival, it means there are a lot more kids coming to shows. But I think were more of a crossover band, I dont think were a typical emo band. We take pride in having a pop punk-emo-indie crossover. I like the idea of moving forward and creating something new. I like to think thats where were at.

Krist Novoselic Blogs About Gender Parity and the Hall of Fame
's Krist Novoselic
wrote a blog
about the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I am so happy about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame event and how it went so well. Earlier that week there were three long days of rehearsals in NYC. I feel we conjured the spirit of the band, and we could not have done that alone. This, for me, is a bittersweet notion as we all miss Kurt so much. But considering we were inducted, the show had to go on. Joan Jett was first on my list to be out front. I spoke to Dave about it and he ran with the idea of having all women lead. We felt that would be a good tribute to Kurt and what Nirvana was about.
It was a good balance of females as...

' Lauren Mayberry has reviewed the new
album for
The Talkhouse
I love the feel of it. There is atmosphere. There is ambiance. The shoegaze elements of previous material are alive and well (enhanced by Flood's production and the touches added by Nigel Godrich), exemplified through the Bat For Lashes-esque vocal of Biggy, the woozy, Mooged-up shoegaze of pre-album single Love Is to Die, and the synth-heavy, downtempo Teese.

Beyonce Publishes Essay on Gender Equality
written an essay
titled, "Gender Equality is a Myth!" for the
Shriver Report
We need to stop buying into the myth about gender equality. It isn't a reality yet. Today, women make up half of the U.S. workforce, but the average working woman earns only 77 percent of what the average working man makes. But unless women and men both say this is unacceptable, things will not change. Men have to demand that their wives, daughters, mothers and sisters earn morecommensurate with their qualifications and not their gender. Equality will be achieved when men and women are granted equal pay and equal respect.

How "Chinese Democracy" Was Leaked
The blogger who leaked
Guns n Roses
Chinese Democracy
explains how he did it
Within 30 minutes or so of confirming that the tracks were legit, they were up on Antiquiet.com. I didn't put a ton of thought into this act, but I knew this much: As I've said, If I were to simply announce that I had the tracks, no one would believe it. My intent was not to spread it, but to allow it to be played through a streaming player to obliterate any doubt. I knew I was starting a fire, and that original editorial does a pretty good job of laying out the mindset behind my actions. But I didn't think it through past that.

Letter from the Billboard's Editor: Focus on the Music
letter from the editor
recently posted by Billboard's Bill Werde is a great read. It addresses, amongst other things, how many in the media don't know how to cover music in general if there's no controversy.
And our conversation basically amounted to: It was boring because nothing controversial happened. He expected to shrink coverage of the AMAs. Before I went to sleep that night, I was told that none of the shows planning longer segments would be doing them. It's a sign of the times that celebrity trumps actual culture on TV. If Miley Cyrus cavorts with a foam finger, Im a talking head on the topic for the next three months. If she does a superb job singing a great song like...

They skipped the local band phase. In some situations, one or more members of this new band were in previous acts, whether they were just a local band or a band that had done a few tours and had been picked up by someone, but thats not always the case. Sometimes its just a band funded by kids with wealthy parents. Well nowadays, it seems like everyone who decides to form a band doesnt even try to put in work and gain any sort of success locally. And any bands who really wanna work to build up a local following cant even...

To Reynolds and many others, this seems to be a paradox. As a teenager, it did to me as well. I had the feelings and in a way always knew, but continued to make excuses. Surely its a phase, Im confused, If I was, I would know and be open about it, and of course, I cant be gay, Im a Christian. The odd part is that I never had a true opposition to homosexuality. Even when I was quite young, I can remember supporting the idea of gay marriage, especially in a nation that supposedly does not discriminate based on religion.

She, in fact, was the only one to ask me to stay. We had so many talks where I would tell her how I was feeling, we would pray together, and I would leave again to let her fend for herself and smile while she did it. She was nothing but absolutely supportive of my career and never ONCE asked me to leave.

Noisey: "There's No Emo Revival, You Just Stopped Paying Attention"
If you haven't been keeping up with Dan Ozzi's columns on VICE's
, you should perhaps start doing that. Today's writeup is about the "emo revival" and
how it doesn't exist
people just started paying attention again. Feel free to agree or disagree in the replies...do you think we've entered a specific new "golden age" for the genre or is it just a perceived increase in interest from a new crop of listeners? A clip of the blog is below.
Emos current situation can all be traced back to the early 2000s when whatever dumb, lazy music journalist was the first person to start calling MTV-friendly bands like My Chemical Romance, The Used, and Fall Out Boy emo. For the record: they...

What It Means To Tour With Your Favorite Bands
In light of their tour announcement with
Coheed & Cambria
Balance & Composure
I The Mighty
vocalist Brent Walsh
reflected on how much it means
to tour with his favorite band.
If you know me at all, you know that for the past decade Coheed has been my favorite band, and will most likely be just that for the remainder of my life. Their Keywork logo was the first thing I ever saw fit to be permanently inked on my body. I write the type of music I write because back in high school, when I started really analyzing what type of rock avenue I wanted to take, they opened up my mind. Announcing this tour today has been surreal to say the least.

Signing The Record Deal, What It Means, & Misconceptions
The Downtown Fiction
drummer and current
From Indian Lakes
manager, Eric Jones, wrote a blog about signing a record deal, what it means for bands, the misconceptions behind it, and advice for young bands - check it out
I think a big misconception amongst young bands is that signing to a label is the end-all be-all. That it is the pinnacle of your career. But heres the truth: at best, its a platform to build off of. I wish someone wouldve told that to me when I had first signed. I hate to say it, but I got a little lazy. The entire band did. We waited for the label to make us rich and famous, as if the label could churn out the hits, put a few 0s in our bank accounts,...

Stateful firewall
In computing, a stateful firewall (any firewall that performs stateful packet inspection (SPI) or stateful inspection) is a firewall that keeps track of the state of network connections (such as TCP streams, UDP communication) traveling across it. The firewall is programmed to distinguish legitimate packets for different types of connections. Only packets matching a known active connection will be allowed by the firewall; others will be rejected.
Stateful inspection, also referred to as Dynamic Packet Filtering, is a security feature often included in business networks. Check Point Software introduced stateful inspection in the use of its FireWall-1 in 1994.1 2
Before the advent of stateful firewalls, a stateless firewall, a firewall that treats each network frame (or packet) in isolation, was normal. Such packet filters operate at the Network Layer (layer 3) and function more efficiently because they only look at the header part of a packet. A drawback of pure packet filters is that they are stateless; they have no memory of previous packets which makes them vulnerable to spoofing attacks. Such a firewall has no way of knowing if any given packet is part of an existing connection, is trying to establish a new connection, or is just a rogue packet. Modern firewalls are connection-aware (or state-aware), offering network administrators finer-grained control of network traffic.
The classic example of a network operation that may fail with a stateless firewall is the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). By design, such protocols need to be able to open connections to arbitrary high ports to function properly. Since a stateless firewall has no way of knowing that the packet destined to the protected network (to some host's destination port 4970, for example) is part of a legitimate FTP session, it will drop the packet. Stateful firewalls solve this problem by maintaining a table of open connections and intelligently associating new connection requests with existing legitimate connections.
Early attempts at producing firewalls operated at the Application Layer, which is the very top of the seven-layer OSI model. This method required exorbitant amounts of computing power and is rarely used in modern implementations.citation needed
A stateful firewall keeps track of the state of network connections (such as TCP streams or UDP communication) and is able to hold significant attributes of each connection in memory. These attributes are collectively known as the state of the connection, and may include such details as the IP addresses and ports involved in the connection and the sequence numbers of the packets traversing the connection. Stateful inspection monitors incoming and outgoing packets over time, as well as the state of the connection, and stores the data in dynamic state tables. This cumulative data is evaluated, so that filtering decisions would not only be based on administrator-defined rules, but also on context that has been built by previous connections as well as previous packets belonging to the same connection.
The most CPU intensive checking is performed at the time of setup of the connection. Entries are created only for TCP connections or UDP streams that satisfy a defined security policy. After that, all packets (for that session) are processed rapidly because it is simple and fast to determine whether it belongs to an existing, pre-screened session. Packets associated with these sessions are permitted to pass through the firewall. Sessions that do not match any policy are denied, as packets that do not match an existing table entry.
In order to prevent the state table from filling up, sessions will time out if no traffic has passed for a certain period. These stale connections are removed from the state table. Many applications therefore send keepalive messages periodically in order to stop a firewall from dropping the connection during periods of no user-activity, though some firewalls can be instructed to send these messages for applications.
The stateful firewall depends on the three-way handshake sometimes described as "SYN,SYN-ACK,ACK" (showing the order of SYNchronization bit and ACKnowledge bit use) of the TCP protocol when the protocol being used is TCP; when the protocol is UDP, the stateful firewall does not depend on anything related to TCP. When a client initiates a new connection, it sends a packet with the SYN bit set in the packet header. All packets with the SYN bit set are considered by the firewall as NEW connections. If the service which the client has requested is available on the server, the service will reply to the SYN packet with a packet in which both the SYN and the ACK bit are set. The client will then respond with a packet in which only the ACK bit is set, and the connection will enter the ESTABLISHED state. Such a firewall will pass all outgoing packets through but will only allow incoming packets if they are part of an ESTABLISHED connection, ensuring that hackers cannot start unsolicited connections with the protected machine.
Many stateful firewalls are able to track the state of flows in connectionless protocols. UDP hole punching is the technique associated with UDP. Such sessions usually get the ESTABLISHED state immediately after the first packet is seen by the firewall. Sessions in connectionless protocols can only end by time-out.
By keeping track of the connection state, stateful firewalls provide added efficiency in terms of packet inspection. This is because for existing connections the firewall need only check the state table, instead of checking the packet against the firewall's rule set, which can be extensive. Also, the concept of deep packet inspection is unrelated to stateful firewalls, because of its stateful feature, which checks incoming traffic against its state table first instead of jumping to the firewall's rule set. In this case if the state table is matched, then it does not need deep packet inspection.
Application-level filters
Packet filtering alone is not regarded as providing enough protection. In order to effectively block peer-to-peer-related network traffic, what is needed is a firewall that does application filtering, which can be regarded as an extension to stateful packet inspection. Stateful packet inspection can determine what type of protocol is being sent over each port, but application-level filters look at what a protocol is being used for. For example, an application-level filter might be able to tell the difference between HTTP traffic used to access a Web page and HTTP traffic used for file sharing, whereas a firewall that is only performing packet filtering would treat all HTTP traffic equally.
Application layer firewalls are generally slower than stateful inspection. Application-layer firewalls are sometimes implemented using application proxies. Two TCP connections are established: one between the packet source and the firewall, another between the firewall and the packet destination. Application proxies intercept arriving packets on behalf of the destination, examine application payload, and then relay permitted packets to the destination. Suspicious data is dropped and the client and server never communicate directly with each other. Proxies necessarily involve more protocol stack overhead than inspecting packets at the network layer. Furthermore, because a unique proxy is required for each application, proxy firewalls can be less flexible and slower to upgrade than stateful inspection firewalls. Nevertheless, because application-level proxies are application-aware, the proxies can more easily handle complex protocols like H.323 or SIP, which are used for videoconferencing and VoIP (Voice over IP).
There is a risk that vulnerabilities in individual protocol decoders could allow an attacker to gain control over the firewall. This concern highlights the need to keep firewall software updated.3

Price Plunge has the 2010 H&R Block at Home Deluxe with State Tax Software + eFile (Windows / Mac box version) for $21 + $2 shipping = $23 shipped. Includes five free federal e-files and imports from TurboTax and Quicken.
Welcome to Ben's Bargains. Please Register, Sign in or Sign in with Facebook
FYI, Sam's Club B&M has TurboTax Deluxe Federal + Efile (no state) for $29. Above Plus State for $39. No coupon required. I tried H&R B but for myself it wasn't worth the savings. They say it will import from Turbotax, but in my experience it only imported the most simple stuff (like names, addresses), but not complex stuff (like depreciation schedules, carry-overs etc).

Hi all,
I just got my iPad, and I love it, but I want to use it as a surrogate laptop when I go to meetings and printing to the network printers is one of the things I'm having issues working around.
I work at a large corporate HQ and meetings aren't always close to my desk. I also want to avoid having to have another computer on all the time. We use an enterprise printing management server and usually find and access the printers using the MS printer setup and directory services. It also pushes drivers to the client.
Is there any way to interact with this kind of setup without using a remote controlled PC?

New face, old thinking for the Fed?
When Ben Bernanke hands over command at the Federal Reserve, it likely won't be to someone who'll change policy and solve our problems. Only a revolt in the bond market is likely to force real change.
Now that the election is past, I am looking for the market, the media, and (if we're lucky) even politicians to focus on different -- if not more important -- things.
More likely, however, is that the news will now become dominated by the political posturing, bickering, leaks, brokering of agreements, accusations and brinkmanship surrounding the upcoming automatic tax hikes and spending cuts otherwise -- and inaccurately -- known as the fiscal cliff.
The logrolling should certainly get interesting. But it is nearly impossible to see how the twists and turns in this process will work out, other than to say it will probably result in a last-minute kick of the proverbial can down the road, with most of the tax hikes sticking but few of the recommended spending cuts taking effect.
In other words, thinking about this will be a waste of time for investors until we get closer to the final compromise, as the outcomes will be uninvestible until then.
She has such small shoes to fill
Second, with the election decided, there is no longer any angst that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will be replaced by someone who tends toward tighter monetary policy. And based on stories we've seen, he most likely will not seek another term.
I suspect current Fed board member Janet Yellen (read her Fed bio) or perhaps William Dudley (read his Fed bio), the president of the New York Fed, will be his replacement. Both are potentially even more reckless than Bernanke.
At this juncture I would say the leading candidate would be Yellen, and I bring this up because on Tuesday she gave a speech in which she said that the Fed ought to tie its zero-interest-rate policy to hitting its targets on inflation and full employment, rather than just picking some date. I would not at all be surprised if that is the direction the Fed goes, even before she has the chance to become the first female Fed chief.
Of course, the inflation that is a consequence of unbridled money printing, both here and around the world, has so far been ignored as folks continue to worry about some sort of deflationary accident in Europe, or perhaps even in America.
Meanwhile, inflation is making headlines, as I have noticed in Election Night exit polls as well as recent headlines about the inflation rate in Great Britain, which is running at about 2%, while their 10-year bonds yield not much more than ours, at 1.75%.
It's time to play 'The Price Is Wrong'
I cannot imagine that this situation of inflation outpacing bond yields will go on indefinitely. At some point, bond markets here and around the world will crack under the weight of inflation or stagflation. But there is a psychological component to how either of those problems is perceived, and for the moment it would appear that most folks think inflation is temporary.
Thus, bonds continue to price in a substantial bona fide decline in prices, otherwise known as deflation, which has not happened and will not happen. The only real question is when psychology will change, and that is not knowable in advance.
Nonetheless, I have decided to take advantage of the recent spike in the bond market by getting short a modest amount of 10-year bonds. I will risk a small loss to see if the bond market is actually in the process of having a "failed rally." But I will use a stop order to limit my losses if I'm wrong, because this is all guesswork.
As for the postelection economy, there is one thing I do know: If you liked the last four years, you're going to love the next four.
King World News
My latest interview with Eric King covered a lot of ground, from class warfare, to the fiscal cliff, to real estate, to the prospects for precious metals miners. Interested readers can listen to it here.
The ultimate definition of Tyranny is the abuse of a power that no one person or small group of people should even have over others. I can't think of a better example of that than the money printing and expansion of the monetary base that the Federal Reserve has done in the last four years, and continues to do at an ever faster pace. Janet Yellen and her kind are financial assassins.
