ARP Neighbor Cache Fingerprinter is a tool that provides a mechanism for remote operating system detection by extrapolating characteristics of the target system's underlying neighbor cache and general ARP behavior. Given the non-existence of any standard specification for how the neighbor cache should behave, several differences in network stack implementations can be used for unique identification. The main disadvantage of this tool versus traditional fingerprinting is that because it's based on a Layer 2 protocol instead of a Layer 3 protocol, the target machine that is being tested must reside on the same Ethernet broadcast domain (usually the same physical network).
Armitage is a graphical cyber attack management tool for Metasploit that visualizes your targets, recommends exploits, and exposes the advanced capabilities of the framework. Armitage aims to make Metasploit usable for security practitioners who understand hacking but don't use Metasploit every day. If you want to learn Metasploit and grow into the advanced features, Armitage can help you.
Bluepot is a Bluetooth honeypot. It is designed to accept and store any malware sent to it and to interact with common Bluetooth attacks such as "BlueBugging" and "BlueSnarfing". Bluetooth connectivity is provided via hardware Bluetooth dongles. The system also allows monitoring of attacks via a graphical user interface that provides graphs, lists, a dashboard, and further detailed analysis from log files. The system is also highly configurable through said interface.
HackIt! is a strategic game where your goal is to control as many Web sites as you can by hacking them. It is played on an infinite map (the whole Web) where hackers struggle for the control of the Internet. The game involves scanning sites to know who they belong to, hacking your friends' favorite pages, or tracking them to kick them out of the net.
OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is an easy-to-use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in Web applications. It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing as well as being a useful addition to an experienced pen tester's toolbox. ZAP provides automated scanners as well as a set of tools that allow you to find security vulnerabilities manually.
PRADS is a "Passive Real-time Asset Detection System". It passively listens to network traffic and gathers information on hosts and services it sees. This information can be used to map your network, letting you know what services and hosts are alive and used. It can also be used together with your favorite IDS/IPS setup for "event to host/service" correlation. It can help you make sure that your inventory database is up to date. PRADS commes in two versions. One written in Perl, and one written in C. Some features might only be found in one of the versions.
RubyDNS is a high-performance DNS server that can be easily integrated into other projects or used as a stand-alone daemon (via RExec). By default, it uses rule-based pattern matching. Results can be hard-coded, computed, fetched from a remote DNS server, or fetched from a local cache, depending on requirements. In addition, RubyDNS includes a high-performance asynchronous DNS resolver built on top of EventMachine. This module can be used by itself in client applications without using the full RubyDNS server stack.
StopHack is a simple to use and easy to install intrusion prevention system. It is fully adaptable and easily customized to your environment. It is built on top of proven bandwidth arbitration technology so the traffic passing through it won't be slowed down. Every packet is analyzed with regular expression-based behavior anomaly detection, and hackers are blocked immediately. It prevents reflected cross-site scripting, SQL injection, directory traversal, reflected URL redirects, login brute forcing, remote shell execution, and more.

In a year of the improbable, the impossible may have to wait.
On the 25th anniversary of Kirk Gibson's home run Tuesday night, the only fists pumps belonged to the St. Louis Cardinals, and the only brake lights applied were to the Dodgers' journey to the World Series.
In front of another rollicking Dodger Stadium crowd that didn't want to believe what it just saw, the silver anniversary celebration of the organization's most memorable postseason moment only mocked the memory.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Where the Dodgers once won a World Series opener on this night, this time they lost a likely precursor to a season-ender by falling behind three games to one after a 4-2 defeat to the Cardinals in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series.
Tom Lasorda threw out the first pitch, Gibson's ninth-inning homer to beat the Oakland Athletics was the first scoreboard video, and for more than three hours, a full house waved their blue flags and partied like it was 1988.
In many ways, the drama that surrounded the Dodgers' last World Series championship returned. But as Yasiel Puig's vacant stare into an empty field for many long minutes after hitting into a ninth-inning double play would indicate, Tuesday's ending was so very different.
"You're going to be a little bit down," admitted Manager Don Mattingly afterward outside a silent Dodgers clubhouse. "Felt like we needed a win."
He felt it, they all felt it, and now everyone in that solemn clubhouse is really going to feel it. There have been six times the Dodgers have trailed 3-1 in a seven-game series. Not once have they recovered to win the series.
"It is was it is," said A.J. Ellis, matter-of-factly. "We know where we're at."
Simple. Suffocating. Beginning on Wednesday afternoon here in Game 5, they must attempt to rewrite history less than 24 hours after losing a terrible duel with it.
Twenty-five years ago on Tuesday, a pain-staggered Dodgers star became a hero, and something like that could have happened again. But Hanley Ramirez could only endure six innings with his broken rib before being mercifully removed from the game. It was agonizing to watch him swing, something he finally gave up completely when he struck out looking on three pitches in the fifth.
"I couldn't take the pain anymore," Ramirez said simply.
Twenty-five years ago, that injured hero's home run was set up with brilliant baserunning by a Dodgers sub named Mike Davis, and something like that could have happened again. But on this night, after reaching second base with one out in the seventh inning and the Dodgers trailing by two, Nick Punto was stunningly picked off.
With the crowd sitting in shocked silence, he picked himself up, ran off the field, and disappeared into the dugout tunnel as if in shock. Afterward, his eyes were still glazed as he stood in front of his locker and faced the sort of questions the veteran has never faced during a season in which his savvy play help put the Dodgers in the playoffs.
"It was just a bad baseball play, a little too aggressive there," he said. "It was a big play, it put us in a bad spot."
He knew that kid pitcher Carlos Martinez had a tendency to bounce his curveballs. He saw neither the second baseman nor shortstop anywhere in the area. He took a giant lead with the idea that he was going to steal a base and be standing on third with one out, in perfect position to score on a fly ball by Carl Crawford.
The Cardinals, however, out-thought him. Pete Kozma sneaked up behind him from deep in the shortstop position, and, amid 50,000 gasps, Martinez spun and nailed him. The Dodgers never advanced another runner as far as second base.
"That was a lonely place to be, a lonely jog off the field," said Punto. "I don't wish that on anybody."
Twenty-five years ago, the last runs of the games were scored on a home run, and in this case, it actually did happen again. Except the home run was hit in the seventh inning by a 5-foot-9, 165-pound Cardinals pinch-hitter named Shane Robinson, the first pinch homer of his career.
And instead of going into the right-field pavilion, the ball bounced off the top of the left-field fence just beyond the reach of a surprised Crawford. And where Gibson's ball was never found, this one was shortly thrown by a fan on the field.
"I thought I was going to catch it, but that ball kept going," said Crawford. "It just floated out of here."
So, too, are the Dodgers' chances floating away despite holding the Cardinals to eight runs and a .148 average in four games. But during that time, the Dodgers have only scored seven runs and batted .223, including scoring just twice Tuesday against a very hittable Lance Lynn.
They need Ramirez, and despite his best effort of the last two nights, they don't have him. They need Andre Ethier, but, also despite his best efforts, they barely have him because of the microfracture in his left ankle. He had two singles and scored after a walk on Tuesday, but he hobbled everywhere, and his night was epitomized when he could offer no resistance on a tag play by second baseman Matt Carpenter on the Puig grounder which started the ninth-inning double play.
It would be nice to think these Dodgers were at least able to play Tuesday night without noticing the specter of Kirk Gibson and 1988. It would also be wrong.
"We hear it every day from somewhere or another," said Clayton Kershaw earlier this month when asked about 1988. "We hear it every day."
Barring history, the Dodgers will have to spend at least another year listening.

can't depend on anything these days...except your Depends.
Haha! Now you're trying to change the subject at hand.
Ah Huh !!! --- I knew I could sucker use gize inta a 5-pager --- LOL !!! Well, the time is ripe for "the rest a the story",since Carlos has been bizzy dodgin bullets on here lately --- I'll have y'all know "Inspector Elkie" has finally got the Carlos' new shooter shirt case cracked --- Yup, his new shooter shirt he's been a braggin bout is none other than one a the new Martin Shooter shirts with their brand spankin NEW LOGO. I sore it maself over on AT, that the new owners came up with a new logo design, and Ol' Carlos has done seen to it that he got one a em. I really hated to let the cat otta the bag, but just felt that all Geezers should be aware of the carrot he's been a danglin in front a us here a late.
And no, I ain't never been one a them politician thangs, nor could I ever be, or ever wanna be. The only wannabe I wanna be is a Classic Champion n' 2014 is gonna be "The Year" !!! I gotta feelin the ASA might have one a them perty silver, er gold special buckles fer a prize n' I wanna be the first'n ta git one.

As for the clock, time, Mike might be on CT day light savings time in Hawaii.

An Interview with Carlos Fuente Jr.
A decade after introducing the Fuente Fuente OpusX, Carlos Fuente Jr. discusses its significance and what is to come.
David Savona
From the Print Edition:
Michael Jordan, July/August 2005
(continued from page 2)
Q: Did your grandfather like strong cigars, too?
A: Of course. I'm not saying strong. I don't believe in strong cigars. I really believe in flavor, balance, richness. I think the Fuente Fuente OpusX is very powerful, but it's like a silent power. I believe it's very complex, very rich, but sometimes you don't realize it until you stand up.
Q: You mentioned blending. Can you talk about how different sizes in a brand have different flavors?
A: I don't blend a gran panetela the same way I would blend a double corona. They would be the same tobaccos but in different proportions. With different dimensions and different lengths, you get different cigars. Cigar making is probably the most difficult craft in the world. In the wine industry, you have a crop of grapes, you ferment them, and you mix liquids together and it becomes uniform. With cigars, you're blending solids. That's where it takes not only know-how, but also art. You're blending sometimes as many as five, six, seven different flavors together. I like to refer to them as herbs and spices. The Fuente line is extensive, and that's because it evolved. In Nicaragua, we made a certain type of cigar. Before the Cuban embargo, we made a certain type of cigar. When we moved to the Dominican Republic, a lot of the people wanted them milder. And little by little we toned them down. Around 1982, we started adjusting it back up, and we introduced the Chateau Fuente line.
Q: That's with Connecticut wrapper?
A: Yes, but it was a blend that was very rich and more full-flavored. We kept on bringing more things with more taste, and different shapes. For example, in 1983 we introduced Arturo Fuente Hemingway. It was a shape [perfecto] that was lost on the market. It was really a lost art. But I really have a passion, and my heart is in the past. I wanted to recapture that lost art. My father went back to our warehouse in Ybor City and gathered as many molds as he could find of the perfecto shape, which my grandfather called Arturo Fuente Fancy Tales, and I believe it wasn't made since the '60s. No one knew how to make those shaped cigars. I asked my father, and he said when he was young, he used to make them. My grandfather had taught him. And my father practiced and worked on it, and taught our master roller to make it. It wasn't until about a year later that the cigar was introduced, and it became an instant success. It was the only perfecto shape on the market that I was aware of.
Q: When did you come out with the Hemingway Short Story?
A: It was becoming difficult to smoke in certain areas. We were talking about making a shape that was small but very flavorful. There was only one or two cigarmakers making each of these cigar sizes at that time. It was an instant success. For many years there wasn't a shape like that on the market. The Short Story became perhaps the most imitated shape. My father always taught me you either lead or follow.
Q: What about Don Carlos?
A: The Don Carlos series was launched in 1986. It's an honor and tribute to my father, but I also think of someone very dear to me, a brother, Richard Meerapfel [the recently deceased grower of Cameroon leaf]. We developed Don Carlos for the European market. Today, it's a classic. It's what many people believe is our finest cigar.
I just can't create something new because someone asked me to. A lot of times when we develop new sizes and new blends, most of the times it's during my most difficult moments. Sometimes it happens in the middle of the night. I can't turn it on, I can't turn it off. Don Carlos was developed this way. My father was involved, I was involved, and also Richard Meerapfel with his wrappers. It pays tribute to someone who's probably the most humble man you could meet.
Q: Can you tell me about your grandfather Arturo?
A: At a very young age, I used to sit on my grandfather's lap, in this old wooden house in Ybor City. Every evening, my grandfather would take me to his room with a cigar in his mouth, and put it on a little night table right by his bed. And he would tell me stories about Cuba, about the folklore, about El Indio, the goddess that protects the tobacco fields. How there was so much pride when he was a young man in Cuba. The tobacco farmers lived a life to make tobacco taste better. It was in their culture, in their veins. My grandfather told me all these stories, and I was like a computer without information, a blank slate. And all these stories are my inspiration.
Q: What kind of man was he?
A: I never saw my grandfather without a cigar. My grandfather, and I say this in a very affectionate way, was a guajido. A guajido is a Cubano from the land, who is affectionate, respects life, and is also very proud. A man with honor. A man above all whose word is his bond. My grandfather was probably the most tender human being I ever met. He was a simple man, but a man everybody loved. Right now, I smell his Old Spice aftershave. I see my grandfather sitting in a wooden chair, caressing tobacco. At a very young age he told me tobacco is like the most beautiful woman. As you caress the tobacco, it becomes more beautiful. It speaks to you. He was a simple, humble man, but a man who left such a deep impact on my life. When it comes to tobacco and cigars, everything I do, I do it with my grandfather in mind, and hope that he is proud.
Q: Let's talk about your tobacco farm, which has grown so much over the years. How many acres are you growing now?
A: The total property is approximately 300 acres. The most we grow in one year is 190 acres. The farm when we started was around 38 acres. We're in negotiations now to buy another property to develop a filler farm at Chateau de la Fuente.
Q: And will that go into your other cigars, besides Fuente Fuente OpusX?
A: Of course. Most of the tobacco that we grow on Chateau de la Fuente does not go on Fuente Fuente OpusX. On Fuente Fuente OpusX we use tobacco from the farm and tobacco from around Santiago.

Post subject: Aloha from NYC!
Greeting from Echo Base, where it's cold and wet lol My job is flying me to the Philippines on January 5th (so, in two weeks!). What does this have to do with HI? I happen to have a 22 hour lay over in Honolulu! I have never been to HI before and am super excited. My main goals of things I want to do in my short time there...
1. See the USS AZ... my grandfather was at Hickam Field when the attacks happened. He had a car an bolted from Hickam towards Wheeler, thinking it would be safer, only to be caught up in everything again. He saved several lives that day and got a purple heart for it (he lived to 80). I think it is my duty to visit the memorial in his honor.
2. Hula hoop on a beach as the sun sets. I am an avid hoop dancer and cannot leave HI without doing this. I'd love to fire hoop on the beach, but I can't bring my fire hoop with me, so I'll settle for regular hooping lol.
3. Watch the sun rise with a view. I live in NYC, my sunrise in the morning consists of watching the shadow on a brick wall outside of my apartment window :-( I want to see something spectacular.
Those are my goals, I'd also love to meet the Hawaiian Outpost and maybe go out for good drinks and grub? Is there any local beer that isn't to be missed (I LOVE local brews when I visit new places). Would anyone like to meet up while I'm there? My plane lands 3:30pm your time on 01/05 and I have to leave 12:45pm your time 01/06 I'll be back again on 01/16 for my return home, but only for about 3 hours, so I'll be staying in the airport.
Also, would I be able to crash on a couch/floor? I'll have my purse and a hula hoop and I can sleep virtually anywhere (I'm storing my larger baggage at one of the places suggested by the airport). I'm not allergic to cats, however - dogs prone to heavy shedding or with very short hair are bad on me. If not, is there a pretty cheap motel/hotel near the airport? Everything I saw was like $100 for a night (YIKES).
Hope to meet some of you

Thanks guys for showing this NYC Girl a good time in paradise, even if it was only for short while :-)
Hooping to the sunset <3 One of my "Bucket List" items crossed off
Local beers and Poi! It was good with the Poki (?), and I can see why you said it was like eating glue lol
OMG Fabrics at the Aloha Stadium Swap meet! I picked up two 4yd pieces for summer dresses
I had a great time, and now that my husband saw all the goodies I brought back and has had a taste of real Kona coffee and those Honolulu Cookie Company cookies, he wants to go now next year. It means skipping D*Con next year, but we never did get a proper Honeymoon, so it will be nice to actually indulge in one after 7 years of marriage lol.

As if graduating from high school wasn't enough of an honor, some Metro students could be on their way to graduating as Presidential Scholars!
Five high school seniors in our district have been chosen by the U.S. Department of Education as Presidential Scholar Candidates, meaning they will go through a rigorous national application process. They are among 3,000 candidates in the nation, a number that will shrink to 560 semifinalists and ultimately to 141 Presidential Scholars.
Our candidates are:
They were chosen for outstanding academic achievement, particularly for scoring highly on the ACT or SAT.
Make some room on the trophy shelf because Rose Park Middle Magnet School has received another major award.
The Silver Award from the National Center for Urban School Transformation (NCUST) is given to schools that meet a number of performance criteria, including high achievement, high attendance rates and low suspension rates, among many others. Rose Park is one of just 16 schools nationwide that made the cut, and one of only eight to receive the Silver Award.
"After receiving National Blue Ribbon status and a SCORE Prize, the secret about Rose Park is out," said Director of Schools Dr. Jesse Register. "It's a terrific school, and the faculty and students have earned every distinction they've received. We're proud to have such strong schools serving our neighborhood families."
"The finalists have attained a level of achievement more typically seen in schools that serve very affluent communities," said Joseph F. Johnson, Jr., executive director of the NCUST. "They prove that our nation's urban schools can be wonderful centers of learning that change children's lives. As a nation, we should be seeking out opportunities to applaud and support these schools while we provide systematic, substantive assistance to other schools seeking to attain similar results."
Officials from NCUST visited Rose Park earlier this year to see in person the great story behind the school's data. The winning schools demonstrated the greatest evidence of rigorous content, engaging instruction and positive relationships with students and families.
Three of the eight Silver Award schools will be chosen for the Gold Award – one each for elementary, middle and high – at the NCUST Symposium in May. Each Silver Award school receives a check for $2,500. Gold Award schools receive an additional $2,500.
"This is extremely gratifying," said Rose Park principal Robert Blankenship. "Our students and faculty work so hard to achieve at these levels. To have that recognized on the national stage means a great deal."
It is not a new idea, but it is experiencing a national resurgence: bring families and communities into schools and students will succeed.
Metro Nashville Public Schools is proud to announce Community Achieves, a program that will draw families into greater engagement with their schools by turning 17 schools into hubs for needed services and programs in their communities. They will offer a range of helpful services for families built around four areas of need:
These could take the form of after school programs, health clinics, sports, adult education, job counseling, community events and more. Each school will assess its needs and work with partners to offer programs to meet them.
"Nashville is rich with resources and has a strong tradition of community pride," said Gini Pupo-Walker, director of Parent and Community Partnerships. "We are poised to come together around Community Achieves and rethink the way we engage with the schools in our neighborhoods."
The benefits of high performing Community Schools are many:
"When you help families, you help students," said Tony Majors, executive officer for Support Services. "Through Community Achieves we can keep families involved to increase achievement and decrease the chances of them leaving school. When families are engaged, everyone benefits."
Before coming to work as leaders in the Student Services department, Majors and Pupo-Walker led the Community Schools initiative at Glencliff High School. They turned the school into a source of pride for its students, parents and neighbors by offering needed services. They were honored with the Community Schools National Award for Excellence in 2011 for their efforts. Through Community Achieves they are taking that work to scale, serving thousands more families in Nashville.
Antioch High School hosted this announcement with Dr. Jesse Register and Martin Blank, Director of the Coalition for Community Schools in Washington, D.C. Antioch is one of 17 schools included in Community Achieves program. At Antioch, families already benefit from a robust health clinic and other services. The other 16 schools are:
The work of Community Achieves would not be possible without help from key community partners like Alignment Nashville, United Way, the PENCIL Foundation, YMCA, the Martha O'Bryan Center, the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, the Metro Public Health Department, Conexión Américas, and the Nashville Career Advancement Center. Many more will come on board as the program progresses.

Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
Children who are overweight are now suffering from diseases once seen only in adults, such as hypertension, liver disease and Type 2 diabetes. That's why Children's launched Strong4Life, a wellness movement designed to ignite societal change and reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity and its associated diseases in Georgia.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community.

ATLANTA (Holiday 2011)—Join Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Santa Claus and more than 300,000 spectators along the streets of downtown Atlanta for the largest Christmas parade in the Southeast. Now in its 31st year, the Children's Christmas Parade will kick off the holiday season Saturday, Dec. 3, from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Proceeds from the parade will help fund programs and equipment to serve the patients and families at Children's.
"The Children's Christmas Parade is an ongoing tradition that kicks off the holiday season for so many Atlanta families and organizations", says Lisa Martinez, chairman of this year's parade, "We are thankful for the opportunity to provide the community with a memorable holiday experience that also raises funds to support the healthcare needs of Georgia's children."
This year, three Faces of the Parade will be featured- Thomas Mills, a cerebral palsy patient, Serena Ramlingum, a kidney transplant patient and Anaiah Rucker, an amputee and local hero. All three Children's patients will be prominently seated in horse-drawn carriages to lead Santa and Mrs. Claus, Miss Georgia, award-winning marching bands, floats, dance groups and giant helium balloons along the parade route.
The Children's Christmas Parade begins at Peachtree Street near Baker Street in downtown Atlanta. The route follows Peachtree Street, turns right onto Marietta Street and finishes along Centennial Olympic Park Drive.
The event is free and open to the public. For those seeking front-row access, reserved bleacher seats are now on sale for $12 and can be purchased at www.choa.org/parade. The Children's Christmas Parade will also air live on WSB-TV Channel 2 (ABC) beginning at 10:30 a.m. WSB-TV personalities, Jovita Moore and Justin Farmer, will provide viewers with live updates along the parade route.
The Children's Christmas Parade is made possible by generous supporters, including Aaron's Inc., Georgia's Own Credit Union and Wells Fargo. Promotional support is also provided by Star94, the parade's official radio partner.
Attendees are encouraged to use MARTA for event transportation. The Five Points and Peachtree Center stations are within walking distance of the parade route. For more information, visit www.choa.org/parade.
2011 Beneficiary Services
Proceeds from the 2011 Children's Christmas Parade will help fund programs and equipment to serve the patients and families at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Funding areas include the Children's Emergency Departments, which serve 550 patients each day—some of the busiest in the country, and the transport vehicles that get them there. Proceeds will also help fund clinical research, family support services such as chaplaincy, child life specialists and social work, and the Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit, a professional troupe of entertainers who deliver the healing power of humor to patients and their families. Visit www.choa.org and www.choa.org/friends to learn more about Children's and Friends, the volunteer organization of Children's that helps make fundraising events, such as the parade, possible.

Provitamin A Carotenoid
Provitamin A Carotenoid
Provitamin A carotenoids are inactive substances found in plant pigments which can be transformed by the body into vitamin A.
Deep yellow plant pigments contain alpha-, beta-, and gamma-carotene. Of the three, beta-carotene is the most important in human nutrition, as it is the most common precursor of vitamin A.

Cherokee County sheriff's deputies arrested a Haskell man Sunday after he ran off the road and was stuck in a ditch.
Robert Grady Dixon, 29, was booked for driving while under the influence of alcohol.
Callers told deputies Dixon ran off the road and was stuck. Dixon smelled of alcohol, according to Deputy Josh Girdner, and claimed he ran off the road trying to avoid a deer that ran out in front of him.
Dixon told Girdner he had been in the ditch for about an hour. He also allegedly admitted he had consumed a couple of beers earlier that day.
Dixon refused to take a state's test to determine his breath-alcohol content, and was arrested. Girdner said Dixon then admitted, while being taken to jail, that he hadn't swerved to miss a deer, but instead fell asleep behind the wheel and ran off the road.
He also changed his mind and agreed to take the state's test. According to Girdner, Dixon had a BAC of .13.

Haskell man arrested after running off road

Native wit
Sherman Alexie Jr., self-professed "res" American Indian, dislikes casinos, mascots and Oklahoma for stealing his favorite basketball team.
Northeastern State University welcomed the celebrated poet, writer and filmmaker to campus Wednesday, and the audience was treated to 90 minutes of witty and unblinking observation from the perspective of an American Indian all-too-familiar with life on a reservation.
Alexie, named one of the 21st Century's top 20 writers by The New Yorker, delivered what was essentially a standup monologue to a packed house in the auditorium of the W. Roger Webb Educational Technology Center. Some of Alexie's best-known works are "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven," a book of short stories, and the film "Smoke Signals."
Woman serving time for burning baby seeks judicial review
A Cherokee County mother sentenced to 17 years in prison for burning her 14-month-old baby with an iron is asking for a judicial review.
Court records show Jodi Leann Rock, 21, requested a copy of her judgment and sentence, and this week filed an application for a judicial review. Copies of her request have been submitted to a judge and the District Attorney's Office.
Concerns expressed as SB 573 awaits House vote
With an Oklahoma Senate bill now awaiting a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives, some parents are voicing concerns about the futures of rural K-8 schools in Cherokee County.
Senate Bill 573 calls for a commission to establish charter schools throughout the state. A charter school receives taxpayer funding, but functions independently. They can be founded by an array of interests, including teachers, parents, universities and nonprofits. In Oklahoma, tribal entities can establish charter schools.
Man gets suspended sentence for possession
A 37-year-old Webbers Falls man has been given a suspended sentence on drug-possession charges.
Dusty Kayl Skaggs was charged with endeavoring to manufacture methamphetamine earlier this year after he and 43-year-old Misty Hayes Paden, of Muskogee, were arrested during execution of a search warrant.
NSU students observe Earth Day
Students and members of the community converged on Northeastern State University's Second Century Square on Tuesday to spend an afternoon celebrating Earth Day.
The event featured tables sponsored by campus organizations, prizes and music by Chris Espinoza. NSU's Earth Day theme was "Gather Here. Go Green," and was organized by the Committee for Sustainability and the Northeastern Student Government Association (NSGA).
Rural smallholders host annual show
More and more, many people are showing growing interest in learning the sources of their food, including meat. As such, interest in farm-to-table living is increasing.
Saturday, the Rural Smallholders Association held its annual spring show at the Cherokee County Fairgrounds, promoting the farming of sheep and goats, along with giving the general public a sample of their products.
Wanted man nabbed during traffic stop
Cherokee County sheriff's deputies arrested a wanted man this week after a traffic stop near South Muskogee and Willis Road.
Hurley D. Pitts, 40, was being sought by authorities on a motion to revoke a previous sentence.
Sheriff's Deputy Jarrick Snyder said he stopped a car after it ran off the road a couple of times. A woman was behind the wheel, and Pitts was sitting in the passenger seat.
Communiversity Band performs Sunday
Musicians from on and off the Northeastern State University campus have made their final preparations for an upcoming performance of the NSU Communiversity Band.
The ensemble performs Sunday, April 27, at 7 p.m., in the NSU Center for the Performing Arts. The conductor is Dr. Norman Wika, associate professor of music and band program director. Guest conductor is student Kameron Parmain. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students and seniors.
"Everything has come together very well this semester," Wika said.
"We have about 40 musicians, and everyone who started the rehearsals has stuck with it. This could be the best Community Band concert yet."
Council concerned over reports of land contamination
Negotiations involving the purchase of nearly 20 homes on 7 acres of land near Basin Avenue hit a snag Monday night when concerns surfaced over potential contamination of the area.
Tahlequah Mayor Jason Nichols had proposed the city purchase the homes and duplexes as a large step in a greenbelt project, which would establish a solid park and trail system from the downtown area to the site of the city's old solid waste transfer station.
Until Monday, details of the negotiations had been mostly discussed behind closed doors, though Nichols confirmed the list price for the property to be $480,000.
Council tables cell tower permit apps
Tahlequah city councilors on Monday opted to hold off on approval of two special-use permit applications that would help AT&T install a couple of 150-foot cell towers within the city.
Branch Communications is asking for the permits as it attempts to construct two monopole cell towers – one on Commercial Road near Green Country Funeral Home, and another at the Tahlequah Public Schools bus barn on Pendleton Street. Other towers are being built outside of the city limits.
Members of the city's planning and zoning board gave their OK for both permits last month.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"So happy we went with this save the date. Its very unique! And we have had a lot of compliments! The design team were very friendly and I really enjoyed being able to chat with someone about my concerns online. really neat that this website offers that! Cant wait to order my invites!"
"We are beyond pleased with our decision to work with Wedding Paper Divas. Not only did the color and texture of the Save the Date exceed our expectations, we were beyond thrilled. Katie not only took the time to make me feel like an important client on the phone, she immediately sent the prototype of our card immediately. On top of that she sent a personalized hand written thank you card. The quality of work and personalized professionalism means so much. I cannot thank you Katie enough for your help. I will recommend to all my friends, family, and clients to start a working relationship with your company. We cannot wait to order our invitations.

I've bought this product for years and love it but after reading some reviews I've come to realize that I too can relate to a few reviews. my t-zone (forehead and nose) does get a little oily through out the day and I've noticed its in those areas where my face isn't dry like my cheeks or chin.. I usually apply loose powder to fix it.

I love the way my skin looks the first part of the day, but after a while if you don't use a powder, it causes your skin to get oily. It has also caused some breakouts. I wish I could get the same look without the breakouts because I LOVE the look and feel of the foundation. =/

Packaging: I agree with other reviewers that the cap gets messy - poorly designed so it tends to leak little by little no matter how carefully I clean and close it.
Pros: price, light-medium coverage, slight luminosity (not too much)
Cons: Parabens ick. I find it accentuates my fine lines (will try with more moisturizer and a primer and update my review).
Given the parabens, I wouldn't order this again.

I've come to really like this product! I tried the matte wear first and it didn't really work for me. This can give me medium coverage, but I like to wear it a bit lighter and use concealer for my trouble spots. When I first apply it and for the first few hours, it gives my skin a really nice glow. After a while it can get pretty oily, especially around my t-zone, but if I use primer and setting spray it's not too bad. The color is a perfect match too. (: I'd definitely get this again!

I bought this product when i was having horrible breakouts and my skin was very oily,It didn't do much for me but make me breakout even more and make me look like a mess.Plus It was flakey and too shimmery.I decided to give it a other shot a few months later, I have to say It actually surprised me!I love the natural look It gives,It blends well and I didn't have to pile It on.I understand It's not a full coverage but I still wished It covered redness more,and It wasn't so shimmery.In my expierence It's best applied with a sponge.

This is a good foundation for my skin 3 seasons of the year. I stray, but keep coming back. As others have mentioned, the tube gets messy and that annoys me. I like the formulation, it is creamy, applies easily, and is fragrance free. I get medium coverage, but it gets a bit "makeupy" if I apply too much. This gives my skin a beautiful luminous finish (and I'm very dry in winter, dry in Spring and Fall), and lasts all day. It evens my skin tone and I can use it as a light under eye concealer. It has many shades and even the pink shades seem to be more neutral toned. I have already replaced. I get many compliments on my "beautiful skin" when I am wearing this.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Sensitive, Fair Hair: Red, Curly, Fine Eyes: Blue
This foundation makes my face feel sticky, and remains to be sticky through the whole day, even with powder over it! Even if I wear primer underneath, it still applies splotchy and quickly wears off. It's a complete ripoff for the $22USD I pay for it about every two months. I have found a cheaper foundation that works much better. Timewise also makes my face itchy when I first put it on. It also settles into every possible wrinkle, and I don't even have many because I'm 15! I have to wear foundation because of a skin condition I have called Rosacea that makes my face very red and splotchy, and this doesn't cover it very well at all, especially on my nose and cheeks, which is the worst, and coincidentally that is where the foundation wears off the easiest. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody ever. It's just not good. I'm going to go back to my Neutrogena Shine Control Foundation.

I have a few foundations love, Mac Face and Body, Origins Vitazing, and now...Timewise Luminous Wear Foundation. The co.or chart is a tad bit confusing so I can see where color matching error can happen, but its worth the experimenting. I apply this with a beauty blender and I feel this leads to the best results. The finish is the perfect amounts of dewy without looking like an oil slick. I've found this lasts several hours when worn with a good skin care system and primer. Plus the age fighting benefits are a plus! My skin can be extremely dry or combo and this works great. If you have an oily T-zone swear a mattifier! Great foundation, I get complements all the time!

Not the best foundation... but not the worst . I would not recommend this foundation for people with oily skin ( which I have).. it also made me break out a little bit so I immediately stopped using it.. On the flip side its super quick, super blendable, does not oxidize at all and if you get the right color it will match perfectly. I got this foundation from a friend who's mom is a Mary Kay consultant and she accidently got the wrong color so she gave it too me and the color was great. its also a little too sparkly for my taste.. I recommend this for people that have dry non acne prone skin. Oily skin people beware!

I was completely IN LOVE with the medium coverage foundation before they discontinued it and tried this. it's a little bit on the greasy side if you ask me and the colour is a little too light on my skin and the colour up from that was much to dark. I want my medium foundation back! It was so muh nicer and set nicely on my skin and fit my shade perfectly.

Summary of On Painting Summary of On Painting Reviews for On Painting An Excerpt from On Painting
Artist, architect, poet and philosopher, Leon Battista Alberti revolutionized the history of art with his theories of perspective in On Painting (1435). Inspired by the order and beauty inherent in nature, his groundbreaking work sets out the principles of distance, dimension and proportion; instructs the painter on how to use the rules of composition, representation, light and colour to create work that is graceful and pleasing to the eye; and stipulates the moral and artistic pre-requisites of the successful painter. On Painting had an immediate and profound influence on Italian Renaissance artists including Ghiberti, Fra Angelico and Veneziano and on later figures such as Leonardo da Vinci, and remains a compelling theory of art.

To reduce design problems found late in development, engineers use Model-Based Design to capture, communicate, and validate system and subsystem specifications, develop rigorous acceptance tests, and generate AUTOSAR-compliant code.
Engineers at OEMs and suppliers deliver complex comfort and convenience systems that interact with each other and the rest of the vehicle. Using Simulink and Stateflow®, they create executable specifications that enable them to find errors before hardware implementation when they are easiest to isolate and less costly to fix.
To deal with the growth in the number of electronic control units on the average vehicle, engineers use system design and simulation for developing components that comply with the AUTOSAR standard. MathWorks products enable engineers to:
"For the BCM project, we used virtual integration and test with executable functional models in Simulink to identify more than 95% of requirements issues before implementation—compared with just 30% before we started using Model-Based Design."Read the story

The top-of-the-line FabricSkin Keyboard Folio for iPad Air is a sturdy spill-resistant case companion that's thinner than the previous version for iPad, but it's not the best keyboard accessory we've seen.
For a durable case with a very good keyboard that feels like it can take a beating, the FabricSkin is your bet. But it's a pricey accessory for a year-old iPad.
Logitech's simple and functional Keyboard Folio offers a keyboard plus iPad protection, but it's too thick for its own good.
The HP Elitebook Folio 9470m does a serviceable job at being a good thin all-around Windows 8 business laptop, but it doesn't rise from the pack, and it doesn't take any chances.
Belkin's iPad 2- and third-gen-iPad-friendly YourType Folio + Keyboard case takes a solid if uninspired folio case design and adds a keyboard for one of the better protective solutions around.
Logitech's clever Solar Keyboard Folio hooks iPad users up with a quality typing experience on the go, no USB charger required: it really does work as advertised.
When it comes to Windows ultrabooks, the HP Folio 13 is the best of the bunch in terms of performance, price, and ergonomics, provided you can live with a less-than-razor-thin design. This laptop is targeted at small businesses but it's really for anyone who wants a reliable ultrabook that isn't a MacBook Air.
Expensive but solid, the FabricSkin case also has a splash-resistant keyboard.
$150 is a lot to pay for a keyboard case. The Fabricskin, however, has a keyboard that's made to withstand getting a bit messy, and feels durable, too.
No need for extra cables: Logitech's clever iPad case charges itself, and even automatically turns itself on.

TODAY - Monday, February 14 at 11:30am, U.S. Senator Benjamin L. Cardin with join officials from Maryland, Prince George's County and Dimensions Healthcare System to celebrate the start of prenatal services at the Greater Baden Walker Mill Health Center in Capitol Heights with a ribbon-cutting for their newly expanded and renovated facility. Greater Baden received $400,000 in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to double the size of its facility in 2010. Greater Baden will utilize a state grant from the Maryland Community Health Resources Commission to expand access to new prenatal services for at-risk women and reduce health disparities in this underserved community
Maryland currently ranks 39th in the country in infant mortality and despite a 37% decline from 1982 to 2000, studies show virtually no change in the state's infant mortality rates in the last decade. The infant mortality rate in Prince George's County (11.7 deaths per 1000 births) remains well above the State's average of 8 deaths per 1000 births. Across Maryland, the percent of women receiving prenatal care in the first trimester of pregnancy has been dropping since 2000, reaching a low of 79.5% in 2007. Among White women in the state, 82% received early prenatal care, compared with 73.5% of African-American women and only 63% of Hispanic women.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Steve Mistler email@example.com
Staff Writer
A campaign finance watchdog group published a report Thursday showing that 23 of the top 25 beneficiaries of two business equipment tax-break programs have given $2.3 million to political committees and candidates since 2000 and received a total of $135 million in tax relief over the last four years.
Verso Paper is among the companies that have received tax breaks and made campaign contributions.
Press Herald File Photo/Shawn Patrick Ouellette
State lawmakers are considering changes to programs that reimburse businesses for taxes paid to municipalities on equipment investments. A spokesman for Maine Citizens for Clean Elections, which issued the report, said recent attempts to change tax-break programs have met fierce resistance from the business community, although the companies may have had other reasons for trying to influence public policy through campaign donations.
The programs cost the state $68.9 million in tax revenue last year, and questions have been raised about their public benefits. A report in 2006 by the Legislature's nonpartisan Office of Program Evaluation and Government Accountability identified the programs as "high risk" investments because of undefined goals, overlaps with other tax breaks and a lack of independent audits.
B.J. McCollister, program director for Maine Citizens for Clean Elections, said the report is not a "smoking gun" but shows that "the businesses that are benefiting from these tax breaks are also making sizable campaign contributions to benefit the very lawmakers who determine the future of the programs."
Businesses have traditionally defended the programs, the first of which was introduced in 1995 by independent Gov. Angus King, who said the tax breaks would attract business and encourage growth in Maine.
Dana Connors, president of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, said he doesn't see the connection between the defense of tax programs and political donations.
"I'm not aware of a business that uses this issue as a litmus test for supporting a candidate," he said. "Businesses use a host of reasons for political giving."
Connors' group has been at the forefront of defending the programs, arguing that they level the playing field between Maine and states that don't tax business equipment at all. He said businesses that invest in infrastructure are doing so to remain competitive and create jobs.
In 2011, a study affiliated with the Council of State Chambers of Commerce showed that the two equipment reimbursement programs, combined with "one of the lowest" state and local sales tax rates in the country, helped put Maine at the top of all states for lowest taxes on new business investment.
Many states offer a variety of tax credits to provide incentives for businesses, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Credits for machinery and equipment are among the most common incentives, although at least 30 states tax such purchases.
While states have looked to tax breaks to increase their competitiveness in luring businesses and jobs, Maine is among several states that are re-evaluating the programs, some of which don't have defined goals or metrics for success.
The report by Maine Citizens for Clean Elections lists the biggest beneficiaries of the programs in 2012, along with their political contributions to candidates, party committees and political action committees since 2000.
The top five beneficiaries in fiscal year 2012 and their contributions are:
• Verso Paper, which received $4 million in tax reimbursement in 2012 and made $204,773 in political contributions since 2000.
• Bath Iron Works, which received $3.4 million and contributed $104,600.
• S.D. Warren/Sappi Paper, which received $2.8 million and contributed $51,000.
• Katahdin Paper/Cate St. Capital, which received $2.4 million and contributed $2,000.
• National Semiconductor, which received $1.9 million and contributed $135,200.
Among the top 25 tax rebate beneficiaries, the leading political donor since 2000 was Nestle Waters North America, which received a $1.8 million equipment purchase rebate in fiscal year 2012.

The run blocking was below average, and the Bears clearly missed Lance Louis after he was injured. Gabe Carimi did well, though, considering the circumstances. He also made some nice blocks at tight end early in the game.
New right tackle Jonathan Scott played like a veteran and was pretty consistent. Fill-in guard Edwin Williams had a nice game.
Wide receivers
Grade: 7.5
This was a gritty performance by Marshall and company. Most of their work was in the middle of the field, and Marshall and Earl Bennett helped others by blocking with intensity.
Marshall's physical play is ideal as cold weather sets in. By breaking tackles, he gained 7 yards after contact on one play and 12 on another.
He also was fierce on passes in traffic, at one point coming up with a catch when four defenders were within a step and a half of him. He outwrestled Winfield for a ball they both appeared to catch.
Running backs
Grade: 5.5
The long run of the day was an 8-yarder, but both Bush and Matt Forte ran physically. On Bush's second touchdown run, he dragged linebacker Chad Greenway and safety Jamarca Sanford into the end zone. Forte plowed over safety Harrison Smith on his way to converting a third-and-5.
Tight ends
Grade: 5.5
That was a fine catch for a 13-yard touchdown by Spaeth, extending his arms and diving. Davis caught one but dropped two more.
Defensive line
Grade: 6.5
The front four put decent pressure on Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder but did not finish enough plays. They sacked him only twice, and the second sack was a coverage sack.
Defensive tackle Henry Melton sacked Ponder on the first play from scrimmage for a loss of 9 by putting a swim move on center John Sullivan and then sliding around guard Brandon Fusco.
Defensive ends Israel Idonije and Shea McClellin also stood out with consistent rush. They shared a sack, and Idonije had three pressures while McClellin had two.
Credit defensive tackle Nate Collins with forcing the throw that Chris Conte intercepted.
Julius Peppers was handled well by rookie tackle Matt Kalil, and Peppers had a minimal impact for the second straight game.

Since taking office in March, 2011, the former generals who make up Burma's first civilian government in forty-nine years have released almost seven hundred activists and monks and artists, and taken more steps in the direction of democracy than Burma has seen in four decades. They have relaxed media censorship, legalized the right to unionize, and allowed members of the main opposition party to compete for office; they have also distanced themselves from Burma's longtime patron, China. Burma's opening has so far defied the narrative logic we've come to associate with political transformation. The world has witnessed more than a hundred attempts to end authoritarianism in the past twenty-five years, but the top-down, bloodless variety is rare. The writer travelled to Burma in March when the country was preparing for the first major test of the new era: a special election. Although less than seven per cent of the parliamentary seats were being contested, it was the first time that the dissident Aung San Suu Kyi had endorsed the legitimacy of an election since 1990, when her party's victory was ignored by the government, a signal event in Burma's descent into misery. In that election, Aung San Suu Kyi had already been placed under house arrest, where she remained for fifteen of the next twenty-one years, as she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (in absentia) and became one of the world's most famous political prisoners. When the regime finally released her, in November, 2010, she was met at her front gate by a frenzy of admirers, who seemed to be heralding not only her long-awaited entry into politics but also the prospect of a new era in Burmese history. Discusses the regime of Senior General Than Shwe, who came to power in 1992. In January, 2011, Than Shwe anointed a successor, General Thein Sein. After an exchange of secret messages, the President met Suu Kyi for dinner last August, and when she returned home she told Tin Oo, the deputy leader of the National League for Democracy, "I have the feeling that I can work with him." Her endorsement was a turning point. The world took notice, and the President cleared the way for Suu Kyi's supporters to register as a political party and for former political prisoners to run for office. The opposition took forty-three of the forty-five contested seats, even winning neighborhoods in the capital that are home to civil servants. Three days after the election, Secretary of State Clinton announced that the United States was suspending sanctions against Burma and would be appointing an Ambassador to the country for the first time in twenty-two years. Considers whether economic sanctions helped bring about the changes. Tells about the shift in Burma's relations with China. Writer travels to northern Burma, where the Kachin Independence Army is fighting an insurgency against the government.
