Still the cartoon ... quite simple algorithms to improve security.
Printable View
Not really relevant, but I had to share this. :)
Nick Helm has won an award for the funniest joke at the Edinburgh Fringe with "I needed a password eight characters long, so I picked Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
I choose passwords based on the sensitivity of the information they protect. For most website such as forums, I typically use 1 of about 3 passwords. At most, if I haven't visited a site in a long time, I know it's going to be one of those 3. The passwords aren't easy to guess, but they're optimized for convenient typing. That doesn't mean I choose seqential keys, but rather I limit the amount of hand movements and contorting wrist twists I have to perform to type the password.
For more sensitive stuff like bank, paypal, web facing servers, domain registration, etc, I always use a slightly longer and harder to guess password, and only ever use the password for that single service. I can remember most of my passwords off the top of my head, but I do keep a copy of them in case I ever forget one.
I also use a password generator. and sometimes I use simple passwords and replace some of the letters with numbers for examble a 2 instead of Z, 5 instead of S and so on.
Do you guys think that makes any different? I don't know much about password security
The cartoon is almost complete :) and offers a good clue on how to set up your password but don't forget if you have a good dictionary you may broke that very easy.
alright, thanks
The cartoon points out that replacing letters with numbers isn't very secure - it's easy to try variations on dictionary words in this manner that it isn't really suitable IMO. I use totally randomly generated passwords with letters, numbers and special characters.
The most important factor in password security is length. The second most important is using different types of character - eg symbols, number, lower and uppercase letters. After that I guess its making sure it isn't based on a dictionary words.
It pisses me off everytime I have to sign up for a site and found out my long password which can be between 32 and 64 (by default) is too long, or some of the characters are invalid. That is bad, very bad!
If one is handling passwords correctly, length and characters contained with the password should be a non-issue. Example, a password should be able ot have an SQL injection attack within, but handled right it won't do a darn thing.
Code php:
<?php $username = some_db_escape( $_POST['username'] ); $password = hash( $_POST['password'] ); # Secured! $sql = some_db_query( 'SELECT WHERE username=$username AND password=$password' );
After hashing, the password will be a fixed length and the default encoding hexadecimal contains a fixed set of characters. The value is no longer a security threat to your application.
And if you were properly using your DB with prepared/parameterized queries, you would never have this sql injection vector.
Also, in 2011, most sites really don't need to hold passwords at all -- OpenID is here. Why would you want to take on the onus of owning the credentials?
Too many posts in this thread for me to read all of them so my apologies if this discussion on calculating password strength has already been posted.
Simple rules I use. Take first three numbers of your birth date, and last three number of the year for example. And in the middle put some sentence which you will remember for sure like "you will never guess this pass". So your password would look like f.e. 056you will never guess this pass979 for someone who is born on 05. 06. 1979. I guess you get the point...
The characters must be between 12 to 16 and that must be settled in a way so it could be different and unique in a way so it should be difficult to be theft.
I also use a mixture of special characters, numbers and upper and lower case letters . It is easy to remember if you make passwords from the words that you remember easily. One should not use the complete word , which they oftenly use . But ,use some part of it in their passwords .

Oscar Hosts James Franco And Anne Hathaway Spoof Grease
Posted on Thu Feb 24, 2011 05:48 AM PDT
No word on whether this bit will be included in Sunday's Oscar telecast, but it's nice to see a little revival of the film's classic carnival scene!
Academy Award hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco re-enacted "You're The One That I Want" and posted the short video online, and the stars also gave us a taste of what to expect at the ceremony this weekend. "I can guarantee that if you're looking for someone to call people out, we're not your hosts," Hathaway tells THR. "I think that humor is really difficult to pull off, and I'm not particularly adept at it. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it. Also, I don't mean to sound overly serious, but I am the youngest host in history and I have no business being cynical or calling anyone out. I certainly haven't earned the right to do that."
Can't WAIT for the Oscars this weekend!

HMP Doncaster - John Biggin
John Biggin is the Director of HMP Doncaster. He says he always wanted to be a Prison Officer from as early as he could recall so he joined as soon as he turned 21. He started his career in the Prison Service in 1986 at HMP Lindholme not long after it had opened. He was then a training officer at Wakefield, was promoted to Principal Officer and served at Pentonville. He then worked at HQ in a consultancy role examining how some prisons became effective and efficient. This sort of self examination was new to the Service at that time. He went back to Pentonville as a governor grade before moving to manage the Court escort programme in London where his job was to oversee the contract then being delivered by Securicor. He was head hunted by that company in 2002 and became responsible for delivering the same contract!

Hope's Cuvée Chardonnay is the utmost dedication to excellence, named in honor of my mother, Hope Signorello. To produce a wine of great significance, it takes a judicious selection of the absolute finest barrels and an intimate understanding of our 30 year old Napa Valley Estate vineyard. The vines are hand harvested at night in small picking trays, allowing us to protect the refined and delicate flavors of Chardonnay. Hope's Cuvée is bottled un-fined and unfiltered allowing this wine to be enjoyed now or for years to come.
Tasting NotesThe Hopes Cuvée Chardonnay emerges from the glass with layers of peach, poached pear and nutmeg. Complex minerality and flavors of ripe white peaches enhance the rich texture on the palate. Oak provides a touch of spice with hints of vanilla. The soft finish remains on the palate long thereafter. Enjoy now through 2016.
Winemaking NotesCareful pressing of whole clusters minimized skin contact. This gentle process helped the wine achieve balance as well as develop a silky mouthfeel and enhances the aging potential. Using native yeasts, the wine fermented in French oak barrels with 100% malolactic fermentation to preserve the natural acidity. Tonnelleries: Francois Freres and Damy. Oak types: Allier, and Troncais. The wine spent 10 months on the lees in French oak (40% new) prior to bottling.

The western New Hampshire town of Washington--the first town in America to name itself after George Washington in 1776--is home to only about 1,100 residents, and the three classic white buildings on Washington Common still serve vital community functions.
On the left in the photo above is the 1840 Congregational Church. The center structure served as Washington Center School between 1883 and 1993; it is now headquarters for Washington's police force. The town hall, on the right, dates to 1787. It is one of the oldest town halls in New England that is still in use.

Arizona Rejects Bills to Make It Worst Neighbor Ever
by Brian Kraker
Arizona took a break from sitting on its stoop and shouting obscenities at anyone nearby to reject five bills aimed at making life more difficult for illegal immigrants. Although having a right wing majority in the state senate, Republicans were split over issues such as laws against the automatic citizenship for American-born children of illegal immigrants.
After passing legislation last year that requires immigrants to carry documentation and permits police officers to detain anyone they believe is illegal, Arizona took a page out of the pre-school playbook with these new bills…
One of the bills would have required hospitals to report people who lack insurance and cannot demonstrate legal status. Another would require schools to report on enrollments of illegal immigrant students.
It appears nobody told Arizona that no one likes a tattle tail. To keep with the elementary school theme, maybe Arizona should consider placing illegal immigrants in the corner for a 15-minute time-out or removing recess privileges.
Personally, I think further legislation on the issue could be avoided, if someone would just give Arizona a nap and a carton of chocolate milk.

By Brandi Watters, Herald Bulletin Staff Writer
ANDERSON, Ind. — When the real estate market tanked, Rick Portwood turned to the thing he knew best — bartending.
The decision paid off as Portwood was chosen as the best bartender in Madison County in The Herald Bulletin's Best of Madison County contest.
As a bartender at the Anderson Applebees restaurant, Portwood's clientele often enjoys a meal while sitting at the bar, Portwood said, causing them to stay longer.
Portwood's nomination and victory in the best bartending category has a lot to do with those who stay at the bar longer than most, he said.
"I have a really strong base of regulars that I've kind of gotten to know."
Even though money is tight for many across the county, Portwood said his regulars continue to stop by and have a drink, chatting with him multiple times a week.
"The loyalty of some people through all these tough times in town has been incredible."
Portwood's manager, Jay Thomas, wasn't surprised that Portwood won the honor of best bartender.
"Ricky has been one of our bartenders for a long time. He has basically kind of taken over his nights and made his people kind of his family. He's got a loyal following of people."
Portwood said he shares the highs and lows of life with his customers, often offering a listening ear to patrons in trouble.
From deaths in the family to days that just won't end, Portwood has heard it all.
He admits that he often grows fond of his customers.
"A lot of people who come in there, especially the older couples, I have an attachment to them."
That kind of attachment pays off, he said.
"Sometimes when the restaurant is empty, I have a full bar."
The customers, Thomas said, seek out Portwood. "He works the same days every week, so they know when he's here and they come in and see him."
The loyalty is understandable, Thomas explained.
"If you're having a rough day, he can always turn your day around."
Though he's flattered by the honor and spends his days in the center of a bar surrounded by people, Portwood said he hasn't told his friends, family or co-workers about his distinction as the county's best bartender. "I haven't really told anybody. I'm kind of awkward when it comes to attention."

NORMAN — By John Marshall
AVONDALE, Ariz. — Danica Patrick had already built quite a following from her IndyCar days, with a big assist from all those television commercials and magazine layouts.
The Daytona 500 took Danicamania to a new, frenzied level.
But now that the Daytona dust has settled, it's time for Patrick to dig in for the rest of the season, her first full one in a Sprint Cup car.
"I need to keep realistic expectations and everyone else does, too," Patrick said from Phoenix International Raceway, the next stop on the Sprint Cup schedule. "Daytona is a very unique place and this is kind of where the bulk of the season starts."
The real start to the season came last weekend at the Daytona 500, where Patrick became the first woman to win the pole at a Sprint Cup race and to lead green-flag laps.
Attention for one of auto racing's most popular drivers reached a fever pitch in Daytona, her face all over the news, everyone watching her every move, the daughters of a few of her fellow drivers wanting the opportunity to meet NASCAR's biggest draw.
Patrick handled it all well, thanks, in part, to having been through it before at the Indianapolis 500 in 2005.
"I feel like now days, having the experience that I had in IndyCar and understanding how media works, what it's like to be busy and do a lot of interviews and things outside the car, and also building a great team helps me manage and tolerate all of that is very different than it was back in 2005," Patrick said.
She wasn't bad on the track, either, leading five laps and entering the final lap in third. Patrick faded as the field turned toward the checkers, dropping to eighth as a handful of veteran drivers dropped to the inside lane and passed her.

TOPEKA — Shawnee County's election commissioner has released the names of voters who cast provisional ballots in this week's elections to the candidates in a tight Kansas House race.
But Friday's action by Election Commissioner Andrew Howell may not end a legal battle over disclosure of the names.
Howell faced an order from Shawnee County District Court Judge Rebecca Crotty to release the names to Democratic state Rep. Ann Mah and Republican challenger Ken Corbet. The Topeka residents are separated by 27 votes out of nearly 11,000 cast, with Corbet leading.
Howell confirmed he emailed lists to both.
Secretary of State Kris Kobach went to federal court to block the disclosure. He didn't get an order by Friday evening but said he's looking at ways to keep the names from being used.

Writing for MD
View the 2014 Editorial Calendar
View the 2013 Editorial Calendar
Monthly Developments Magazine welcomes unsolicited submissions on topics of interest to our readers. We will also respond to queries on whether a given article or topic is of interest, and can give writers guidance on how to proceed. Unfortunately we cannot offer payment for accepted articles. Authors are provided with a complimentary copy of the printed issue in which their article appears.
How to Submit
Please send a brief summary of your article's topic and main points to be covered to Chad Brobst, Managing Editor, at email@example.com. Summaries should be sent at least one month prior to deadline. Articles should be sent as an MS Word document. We will normally edit for conciseness and style.
Writer Guidelines
Audience: MD's primary audience is professional staff of U.S.-based NGOs engaged in international relief and development. Government officials, members of Congress, multi-lateral agency staff, southern NGO leaders, media, university professors and students and job-hunters also read MD.
Core themes include: sustainable development, disaster relief, refugees, environment, women, policy, communications, and news on our members' activities. MD also aims to cover other key topics including: southern NGOs, hunger, health, HIV/AIDS, education, grassroots constituency building, human rights-based approaches to development, youth, country-specific overviews, ethical standards, non-profit sector issues and volunteering. MD includes news and commentary on rapidly changing global events that affect international humanitarian work.
Content and Style: Monthly Developments articles are written in a clear, accessible, journalistic style. Writers should strive to capture the most interesting, relevant and current aspects of their story. Our most successful articles are written in a casual magazine style, rather than one more fitting an academic journal. We recommend author's pretend they are talking to a busy NGO worker over a cup of coffee and have five minutes to get the person from clueless to sold using plain English.
All articles should begin with a "catchy" lead paragraph that makes the reader want to know more. This can be done in many ways: tell one individual's compelling personal story; use a provocative quote; summarize a new trend; give a "real life" example of an abstract theory; or put a theme into historical context. Whenever possible, use direct quotes from individuals whose opinions the reader will respect or who are of interest to the reader. Incorporate the comments or viewpoints of southern NGOs whenever possible.
Be sure to mention any planned follow-up to the story: future meetings, upcoming reports, resolutions or recommendations. When possible, stories should end with the name and contact information (usually email or phone) of a contact person for those wishing further information. Please also provide relevant Internet URLs.
Articles will run with bylines—writer's name, organizational affiliation and email address should be included with the submission.
People are much more likely to read stories that have pictures. We encourage writers to submit photographs or other illustrations to go with their story. Illustrations need to be of high quality and camera-ready. Photos should be high-resolution (300 dpi minimum and at least 3" x 5" size) and must be submitted electronically.
While we understand that many contributors wish to promote their organization's programs and initiatives, please bear in mind that your submission should read more like a news story, and less like a press release or promotional piece. Please focus your stories on the compelling, overarching issue that is being addressed, and incorporate your organization's projects in an accompanying sidebar if necessary.
Article submission does not guarantee inclusion in Monthly Developments Magazine. InterAction reserves the right to reject submissions for any reason.
Some additional pointers:
- The article should focus on what is most exciting, innovative, unusual or controversial about the subject you are writing about.
- The article should be succinct—do not quote numerous people saying the same things.
- Avoid bureaucratic and official language, which is often found in government and UN documents, official summaries of conferences, etc. Try to rephrase the main points in direct, newsy language.
- Try to include a variety of perspectives and people. For example, be sure to include the voices of southern participants when possible.
- On matters of journalistic style (e.g., whether a person's title is capitalized), please consult the Associated Press Style Manual, readily available in bookstores. MD will in almost all cases use AP style, which tends to be less formal than, say, U.S. government style.
- Be careful about attribution. When using quotes that originally appeared in a newspaper, TV news story, etc., give credit to that source. Try to work attribution gracefully into the story [e.g. "...Shah told The New York Times February 14]. When taking information from Web sites or other Internet resources (emails, newsgroups), credit the source. Avoid plagiarism—when in doubt, give attribution.
- MD does not include footnote/endnote references. Any necessary attributions should be made within the article text itself.
- Please include contact information or a web site URL so readers can get involved or find out more about it.
- Abbreviations and acronyms—spell out the complete phrase or name the first time it's used. Not everyone knows what MBFR stands for. There is no need to spell the full name of NGO or USAID.
Length: Please be concise. Typical articles in MD are in the 1200 to 2000 word range.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Drivers along one busy road in Charleston have been noticing a mistake on a street sign.
The word Sissonville has an extra "i" on a sign recently installed at the corner of Sissonville and Chandler drives.
City officials tell WSAZ.com construction crews have been upgrading the road in that area. New street signs were needed and the contractor on the project mistakenly put up the misspelled sign.
Officials say the city will have the sign replaced very soon.

Gears of War 3 wrapped up the trilogy in a fairly definite fashion, tying up most—if not all—of the loose ends that had been established over the course of three games. The book had been closed on Dom, Marcus, and the rest of the Delta Squad, leaving the prospects for any further expansion in the universe on shaky ground. So Epic decided to go backwards and bring it back to the beginning, literally, with RAAM's Shadow.
RAAM's Shadow is set during Emergence Day, the iconic event in the Gears universe where the Locust horde burst forth from their subterranean homes on the planet Sera to overrun the human population on the surface. The game primarily follows the Zeta Squad as they try to evacuate survivors from the city of Ilima before the Locust can unleash the "Kryllstorm," a mob of flesh-eating predators that are basically piranha with wings. Gears vets will remember the Kryll with a mixture of emotions, primarily fear and anger mixed with nostalgia.
RAAM's Shadow plays pretty much as you'd expect, with the Zeta Squad acting as fairly cookie cutter analogues for Marcus and the gang. However, that changes when your perspective shifts partway through the campaign and you step into the black shitkickers of General RAAM.
RAAM, the final boss of the first Gears of War, is a wonderfully different experience. He moves at a plodding pace, and has only two weapons: a swarm of Kryll that block bullets and can be directed to reduce foes to gibs within seconds, and a massive knife that impales enemies or separates head from body with shocking ease. There is no use of cover, as the cloud of damage-soaking Kryll that surround you basically make into a hulking black tank…with a knife. It's as badass as it sounds.
In addition to the single player campaign, which last a decently lengthy 4 hours or so, there are also six new multiplayer characters and a "chocolate" weapons pack to round out your 15 dollars well spent.
RAAM's Shadow is now available on Xbox Live for 1200 MSP ($15.00).

SUBSCRIBE NOW and receive a risk-free issue plus a free downloadable booklet: Lost Skills of the Old West
Trade a suit for spurs and join a cattle drive to deliver the herd on time.
By Amy Arden
A Montana cowboy named E.C. "Teddy Blue" Abbott published a memoir almost a century ago and relates this anecdote:
"I heard a story once about a school teacher who asked one of these old Texas cow dogs to tell her all about how he punched cows on the trail. She said: 'Oh Mister So-and-So, didn't the boys used to have a lot of fun riding their ponies?'
He said: 'Madam, there wasn't any boys or ponies. They was all horses and men.'"
This story rings in my ears as I stand in a parking lot outside the rodeo grounds in Reno, Nev. It's a bright June morning, and I'm one of dozens of weekend warriors here to partake in the Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive. Part historical re-enactment, part cowboy camp, this annual five-day event will have us horseback and driving 300 head through nearly 100 miles of Nevada wilderness. We'll rise at dawn, ride through rattlesnake- and jackrabbit-infested desert, and sleep under the stars. And hopefully, we'll come away knowing a thing or two about what it takes to be cowboys and cowgirls.
The Reno Rodeo Association founded the Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive in 1991, when participants would bring their own horses and bathe from a bucket at night. Today, the event has swelled to accommodate 65 paying guests, who are provided horses to ride and trailers for showering. Participants range in age from teenagers to retirees and are drawn by escapism, adventure, or just a simple love of horses. But the end goal remains the same. People crave a journey that approximates the epic cattle drives of the Old West. We all want to claim a piece of those legendary times and bring the herd into town.
A middle-aged woman remarks that, "Adventures are what keep me going," as we stand in line waiting to board the buses that will take us to our first camp.
Females were practically unheard of on trail drives in Teddy Blue's day, but on this trip women are fully prepared for the physically and mentally demanding journey and outnumber men nearly two to one. There's Sena Schmidt, a blonde twenty-something matchmaker from Los Angeles; Carolyn Beaston-Gaughn, who spent days driving here from her home in Illinois, is outfitted in a matching leather vest and chinks and wears sterling silver rings that flash on her fingers; Michelle Nichols of Reno has had the cattle drive on her wish list for years. "I put it on the calendar every December," she says. "And this year I finally decided to suck it up and do it."
After introductions to the cattle-drive staff and a last swig of coffee, we raise a hurrah to the bright blue sky and board the buses. We stop at a general store for supplies on the way to tiny Doyle, Calif., and witness a mock gunfight. And although it's not even noon yet, our entourage descends on the town's small saloon. Some aspects of cowboy trail life will never change.
During our first evening in camp, the staff arranges a "Cowboy Olympics." We break into teams and perform chores like saddling, roping, nailing, and milking, as well as a few goofier tasks like tossing dried cow pies. When my turn comes, I grab a hammer and drive nails as fast as I can to fasten a horseshoe onto a two-by-four. It may not be shoeing a horse, exactly, or fixing a broken wagon wheel, but the friendly competition gets everyone chatting and breaks the ice. The winning team is awarded silver fasteners for their bandannas.
I'm wearing the full Western ensemble, of course (jeans, long-sleeved shirt, boots, cowboy hat, wild rag, etc.). The first time I catch sight of my shadow on the ground, I feel spooked. That black outline of a rider with the trademark cowboy silhouette is my doppelganger, my alternate self. It takes me a moment to recognize her, but I like what I see.
After we pack up our tents and bedrolls the next morning, we're divided into teams of 8–10 people and assigned a position around the herd. Teams take up the right and left wings up front; right and left swing and flank on each side; and the drag position in the rear. (Positions rotate throughout the course of the drive.) Trail boss Brad Sidener, 50, explains that drag acts as the gas to move the cows along, the wings act as the brakes, and that all of us are responsible for making sure that there are no gaps through which cows can escape. After a few days on the trail, participants who didn't know wing from drag are riding confidently, alert for the cows' next moves.
Roadside shoot-outs can be staged, but there's no way to simulate herding cattle without doing it. Russ Abbott, 58, who traveled from Chicago with his daughter Paige, 18, says that: "You get to get in there and mingle with the cattle and give them a little push. It's real fun. A real Western cattle drive—not the pretend stuff."
Paige chimes in that she likes cows: "And I like the herding, especially when they get loose and it goes crazy, and you get to catch a cow." The herd is energetic and eager to bolt, and we learn through trial and error (mostly error) how to arrange ourselves into a moving fence to keep the animals contained.
We cover nearly 12 miles on our first day and ride through a wide valley blanketed with green-gray sagebrush, yellow mule's ear flowers, and spiky blue lupine blossoms. Heavy spring rains have made the terrain gloriously verdant, and frisky jackrabbits leap through the underbrush. To the west, the snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains puncture the sky.
Each evening, when we gather in the mess tent, cattle boss Randy Bell, 55, and trail boss Brad Sidener review the day's drive and dispense advice. They note what went well and what could have been done better. Bell makes diagrams and drawings on a whiteboard, and I find myself thinking about locker-room strategy sessions and reviewing game tape. In fact, Sidener's day job is as a physical therapist in Reno. He first came out on the drive 18 years ago as a wrangler, assisting guests and caring for the horses.
"I literally had to try out," he says, laughing, about applying for the job. Now, in his fifth and final year as trail boss, Sidener coordinates everything for the drive, from the livestock and camp amenities to the necessary permits and insurance.
The route, which varies slightly from year to year, traverses a mix of public and private lands and requires cooperation from state and federal agencies as well as individual owners. This year's route began in the Red Rock Valley and traveled north along the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, passing through several smaller ranges before our final camp in the Hungry Valley. The drive ended with a southward push around Sun Valley and into the city of Reno itself to the Reno Rodeo Arena. Generally remote, the trail did occasionally pass a house or ranch in the distance.
Navigating the mix of terrain, however, is easier than balancing the services required for an experience that costs $1,600. Guests bring their own tents and sleeping bags but are provided portable showers, medical staff, and hearty, catered meals. A crew of 35 volunteers, plus wranglers, assists with transportation, horses, and logistics. Most of the participants' baggage travels in mule-drawn wagons, but several large trucks are required for moving the camp's mess tent and catering facilities.
Nonetheless, the experience is transformative. Animals and wilderness will do that. "There's something that happens to people out here, some kind of magic," says Sidener. "I joke about it, but here we're living the dream. Everybody wants to be a cowboy."
Bill Crossland, 65, operates one of several mule-drawn covered wagons that haul baggage for participants and volunteers. A single team of mules can pull a wagon weighing 2,500 pounds over roadless terrain for hours at a time.
"I love Americana kind of stuff," says Crossland, an attorney by trade in Fresno, Calif. "I got a mule, then a pair of mules, then I got into this wagon thing." Crossland has been transporting baggage on the Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive for eight years. When I asked him what he gets from being on the cattle drive that he doesn't get from his day job, his answer is simple: "Sanity."
It takes only seconds for an orderly herd to transform into a chaos of stampeding steers, and although participants are encouraged to be proactive and "work the cows," a string of professional cowboys patrols the far perimeter and lends backup assistance as needed. The guests tend to allow the wings and drag to spread too far apart, and the cows make a habit of bolting through. But after numerous breakouts, we learn that the cows are usually just as eager to bolt back into the herd after they've had a fleeting experience of running free—and being hassled by a gang of cowboys. My best moments are when I'm chasing cows alone, galloping my horse alongside a steer's shoulder and turning it back into the herd. I yell as the wind whips in my face, and I feel positively alive.
"It's work, but I don't mind that," says first-timer Debbie Bardon, 63, a professional researcher from California. "I feel like we're learning, and it gives you such an appreciation for cowboys and the work that they do."
Her husband, Dan, 64 and retired, says: "They used to drive cattle into the High Sierras in the summer. My dad went on one of those trips. I was too young to go, so I envied him that."
The drive even inspires participants to cross oceans to attend. Robyn Blackall, 53, and Kim McConville, 49, flew from Australia. McConville's grandfather worked on ranches in the United States in the early 1900s and developed an interest in rodeo. When he returned to Australia, he brought the fledgling sport with him and put on traveling bucking-horse shows.
"The drive is much bigger than we expected," says McConville. "The staff does an amazing job."
On the next-to-last night of the drive, it feels like I've time-traveled back to the glory days of the Old West. Couples two-step around the campfire ringed by the white canvas of the covered wagons. Everything seems to glow in the twilight. The crackling flames, the brilliant orange and pink of the sunset, and the deepening dusk on the hills create an otherworldly sense of serenity.
On the last day, we get up before dawn as usual, and the full moon shines bright enough to cast shadows. The landscape dawns less scenic as civilization encroaches. Shotgun shells, broken bottles, and trash remind us that we're leaving the tranquility of the wilderness and returning to the busyness of modern life. We drive the herd for several hours, and the day gets hotter and the riders and cattle more restless. We stop to water the cattle before finally trading earth for asphalt and entering the city limits. Crowds line the sidewalks to watch, and the cheers and friendly faces buoy our sense of accomplishment. We got the herd into town. We've done our job!
We deliver the cattle to the Reno Rodeo grounds, where they will be used in stock events and other rodeos. It's a bittersweet moment, when we are free of our duties and re-enter reality. It feels like stepping out of a myth. I'm tired, filthy, and sunburned. But I can say this much: Now there's a cowboy in my family.

Your Sedentary Lifestyle Is Turning You Into a Nervous Wreck
- By Sarah Goodyear

- Leave a comment
The link between a sedentary lifestyle and anxiety was reinforced recently by new research comparing sedentary mice and mice that exercise. The study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience and covered in the New York Times, where I first learned about it, suggests that habitual inactivity can cause increased anxiety in animals that don't move around much.
Researchers at Princeton University compared the behavior and brains of mice that were allowed to exercise on wheels in their cages to those who instead "sat quietly." The mice that were active showed more inclination to explore new environments when given the chance, an indication of less anxiety. When dunked in cold water, as stressful for mice as it is for humans, the running mice reacted more calmly than the sedentary ones.
This effect has been observed before, but the new study delves deeper into the mechanisms behind it. Analysis of the rodents' brains revealed that the running sparked the creation of excitable neurons that prompt activity, and resulted in a huge new supply of neurons that produce GABA, which has a soothing effect on the nervous system.

Felix Sanchez. This guy made me cry when he cried….
At the Beijing Olympics, the morning of the preliminary heat, he got the news that his grandma had died. He ran, but ended up doing horribly. He cried the whole day. He vowed that he would win a medal for her before he retired. And today in London, he won the gold. That picture on the ground is of himself and his grandma.
As soon as he finished the race, he took out the picture of his grandma and kissed it.
These are the moments that make the Olympics.

"But who can say what's best? That's why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives."
"I didn't have much to say to anybody but kept to myself and my books. With my eyes closed, I would touch a familiar book and draw it's fragrance deep inside me. This was enough to make me happy."
So, won't you join me for a reading of Norwegian Wood in November? We'll post on November 30, giving ourselves the full month to read. I so look forward to hearing your thoughts should you participate. After all, "If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking." ~Haruki Murakami (Norwegian Wood)

Level-5 dismiss Professor Layton Wii plan
No move from DS yet
Speaking to the Official Nintendo Magazine this week, Level-5 boss Akihiro Hino has revealed that the firm has no plans to release a Professor Layton game on the Wii - despite the title's DS success.
A Wii version has been rumoured for some time, with some critics seeing the move as inevitable.
"This trilogy comes to a conclusion with Professor Layton and the Last Time Travel, but we will be releasing the first title of the new trilogy, Professor Layton and the Flute of Malevolent Destiny in Japan," Hino-san explained.
"We currently have no plans for a Wii release."

Staff Reports
The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — A Pennsylvania man who was led to federal authorities by members of the City of Tonawanda Police Department after a local child sent him lewd acts over the Internet pleaded guilty to production of child pornography in U.S. District Court on Friday.
U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. said that Randall Lose, 36, of Howard, Pa., entered the plea before U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara, which carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 15 years in prison, a maximum penalty of 30 years, a fine of $250,000, or both.
During the investigation, it was determined that the defendant, who resided in Pennsylvania, used the Internet to communicate with a minor female living in Tonawanda. Lose instructed her to engage in various sexual acts on camera, which he then viewed and recorded via Skype.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Maura K. O'Donnell, who is handling the case, stated that the investigation was initiated by the City of Tonawanda Police Department after receiving a complaint from the parent of the juvenile victim. The information was then forwarded to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The plea is the culmination of an investigation on the part of special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge Steven L. Lanser and the City of Tonawanda Police Department, under the direction of Chief William Strassburg.
Sentencing is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. on Jan. 27 before Arcara.

Wonder Woman, Superman and Spider-Man use their superpowers for good to aid seemingly helpless humans in their time of need.
But believe it or not, you have what you need to save yourself from one of the biggest dangers to your existence - artery-clogging, brain-fogging fat. And your weapon for self-defense? Your nose.
A new set of studies demonstrates that you can sniff out the fat content in foods, whether you're overweight or normal weight, male or female, young or old. Your all-too-neglected olfactory sense can be one more tool to help you avoid unhealthy foods and weight gain. So how can you cultivate your fat-sniffing powers?
Try an at home fat-sniffing test. Sniff the difference between a pat of butter, a tablespoon of canola oil and a French fry. Notice the heaviness of the butter and the French fry smell? See how much lighter the canola oil is?
The dynamic duo of Healthy Aromas and Good Tastes are also packed with smells, strong and subtle. Check them out, too. Cilantro, cabbage, onions, broccoli, green peppers and mushrooms all have distinct and pleasing aromas.
Now take what you've learned out into the world. Pay attention to different food smells. Learn to identify those that are healthy and those that are not.
You'll know you've mastered your super power of smell when the scent of frying bacon conjures up images of wrinkles or impotence, which is what's caused by eating bacon fat.

Hurricane Sandy sparked 94 fires across New York City, but none of them as bad as the one in Breezy Point.
Searing through 126 homes in the seaside Queens neighborhood, the blaze ranks among the worst in New York City history. Spread by hurricane winds, flames raged for 10 hours, sweeping from home-to-home, according to area media.
For the community's battered volunteer fire department, the storm and subsequent fire came with an especially heavy toll.
"(Breezy Point) was inundated with floodwaters and winds," said Moon Township Fire Chief John Scott. "And the fire department lost everything. Lost buildings, lost trucks, lost all of their equipment.
"They were devastated," said Scott, who estimated that the department sustained more than $2 million in hurricane-related damages.
Now, Moon Township will offer up its former 1989 pumper rescue firetruck to Breezy Point's volunteer fire company—one of nine volunteer departments in the city not a part of the New York Fire Department.
The truck, valued between $8,000 and $10,000, should be awarded to Breezy Point in the coming months—Moon firefighters will deliver it themselves, Scott said.
It was ideal timing for the donation, he said. Moon's fire company has just received a new truck, and planned to sell off two older vehicles in its place.
One of the vehicles has been sold to Neville Island's volunteer fire department, at a discounted price, Scott said.
The other vehicle is a perfect fit for Breezy Point—the Moon Board of Supervisors approved the donation Wednesday in a 4-to-0 vote.
"I think this is a really great opportunity that our firefighters are giving to this department in Breezy Point, New York," said Supervisor Jim Vitale at the meeting.
Scott said he was at a meeting for area fire chiefs when he learned of the Breezy Point fire department and its struggle in the weeks since Hurricane Sandy.
He said the department has been in communication with Breezy Point's fire chief—the Rockaways fire company is eager to receive the vehicle.
"(The Moon Township Volunteer Fire Department) is really excited about the donation," Scott said.

Designers' best
Now that spring appears to have officially sprung, mother-daughter designers Catherine and Justine Macfee, who are based in California, offer some tips for sprucing up your outdoor spaces.
Let it grow: Surround yourself with lush vegetation and beautiful foliage! Keep things manicured and healthy so they're inviting, but let your garden and patio area mesh together. Stone walkways through your flora are a nice touch for allowing your guests to walk without getting their shoes dirty.
Bring the indoors outside: Teak is always a great option for outdoor furniture, but think about mixing that with other accents like metal, rattan or petrified wood.
Seek balance: Decor in your outdoor space should complement the interiors of the home while keeping the integrity of the outdoors. Choose colors that accentuate the greenery of your yard and add personality and style to your space. Maybe a classic stripe or a bright burnt orange.
Get comfortable: Big comfy chairs are a must. A defined lounging area with plenty of seating options where you can laze all day and into the night. Furnish your outdoor space with the same detail as your interior space.
Check out the Macfee's blog at http://justinemacfee.com/.
Best recipe
Raleigh reader Jeanie DeGroff shared her friend Karen Deuel's recipe for Artichoke Chicken. "She made it especially for us when my husband, Tom, was really sick. Every time I make it I think of him and all the people that loved him. Now I make it when I want to make someone feel special and loved."
You will need:
1 14-ounce can water-packed artichokes, well drained and chopped
3/4 cup Romano cheese
3/4 cup mayonnaise
Garlic to taste, minced
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Combine first four ingredients. Place chicken in a greased 11 by 7 by 2-inch baking dish. Spread mixture over chicken and bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
Best for meatloaf
To freeze uncooked meatloaf, wrap it in a large sheet of aluminum foil and cover with plastic wrap. You can store it this way for up to three months. To prepare, thaw overnight in the fridge and cook according to the recipe. Thanks to Real Simple magazine for the simple idea.
Best Easter craft
Make memories and art with the kiddos with an Easter craft featured on Pinterest and from the SassyDealz website.
Take a potato, cut it in half lengthwise and carve shallow lines, zig zags, squiggly, wavy lines or other designs in it.
Dip the carved potatoes into washable paints spread on a paper plate, then lift the potatoes, wipe lightly on the side of the paper plate and press the potato hard (stamp it) onto card stock, construction or other paper.
This would be an easy way to make personalized Easter gift wrap or greeting cards. You can see the finished product at http://tinyurl.com/pn32q58.
Best for fabrics
Make your own reusable fabric softener sheet with this tip from the Mattern Family blog: "Soak a hand towel in fabric softener. Squeeze out any remaining drops from the towel. Hang it over a (protected) chair (or outside on a clothesline) to dry. My house smelled super clean for the three days while this towel was drying completely. ... After the towel dries, you just throw it in your dryer along with clothes and use it as a dryer sheet" for about a month before washing the towel and soaking it again."

By AAJ Exchange
The AAJ Exchange's newly updated Litigation Packet, DePuy Hip Implant, educates members on the recall of the popular metal-on-metal hip implants and litigation surrounding the recall.
The DePuy Hip Implant Litigation Packet provides resources for attorneys investigating cases against DePuy Orthopaedics and injuries caused by ASR and ASR XL hip implants. The packet contains case screening material including client intake and questionnaire and also includes complaint, information on state court actions and multidistrict litigation (MDL), and the 510(k) premarket notification procedure. The packet also includes AAJ Education speaker papers and other important resources about the hip implant recall.
The AAJ Exchange recently updated the Reglan/Metoclopramide Litigation Packet. Reglan, or its generic equivalent Metoclopramide, is a dopamine antagonist/neuroleptic drug used to treat patients with gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), diabetic gastroparesis, and to prevent nausea and vomiting related to chemotherapy. The FDA estimates that more than 2 million Americans are taking a form of this drug.
The Reglan/Metoclopramide Litigation Packet provides AAJ plaintiff attorneys the tools to pursue Reglan/Metoclopramide claims on behalf of their injured clients. The packet addresses the link between Reglan/Metoclopramide and tardive dyskinesia and other related disorders. It also contains initial client intake material and court documents including complaints and written discovery. The packet also contains a litigation update which specifically addresses generic manufacturers and preemption, timeline of events and other resources including an AAJ Education speaker paper, an abbreviated medical glossary, and survey of journal articles.

Health care law hurting workers
It's every day you read, talk or listen about the Obama health-care law. It affects every working middle-class person. Like always.
I am a teaching assistant in an elementary school. My hours have been cut by 53⁄4 hours per week, and I lost six paid days.
Thanks, politicians. This health-care law has cost me personally $250 a month, plus six paid days. And guess what? I have no health case. Thanks again for nothing. Oh, I've also lost my heat bill and water bill. Maybe I can get funding for that.
Thank God for my husband's full-time job with benefits. For now. What if I were single?
I don't think these overpaid, educated idiots running our nation have a clue what goes on in the real world with all the cuts, the laws, the rip-offs or whatever they are called.
They need to sit back and listen to "We the People." Maybe they would if their six-figure salaries and health care was affected. Fat chance.
Here's an idea. Let's all quit paying our taxes and handle our own money. What are they going to do? Build more prisons? I think not.
I realize this country was built on "United We Stand, Divided We Fall," but, hey, politicians, wake up!
Revolutions have happened before. We the people are sick of it.

Great fun when 'Wheel' rolled in
A thank you to WTWO for bringing the "Wheel of Fortune" group to Terre Haute. Also to all the Wheel crew who did such a good job entertaining us Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
I couldn't be there on Sunday, but Friday, I was at Glidden's and Saturday at Wabash Valley Fairgrounds. Terre Haute does not do enough to entertain people of all wage groups. And this was free, so all could come.
We laughed and some cried. Marty was so funny. Tracy made a great Vanna, and we all had fun.
Glidden Furniture, WTWO and all other people who helped were so appreciated. God bless you all for bringing joy to our town.
Thank you so much. It was a wonderful time.

Terre Haute
Trampling our civil liberties
Let's see. Our federal government is listening in on our phone conversations, monitoring our email and pretty much trampling on our civil liberties, all in the name of the war on terrorism.
And yet, our southern border is still pretty much an open sieve, allowing who knows into our country.
Apparently, it's going to stay this way, although I hope not.
What is wrong with this picture?

Ski-resort operators, by definition, view the world through a bright-colored lens.
To them, the cup always is half-full rather than half-empty. If they struggle through a few bad years, they insist better times are ahead. The snow-dumping storm they desperately need will arrive because their patience can outwait any stubborn weather system.
That said, the 2013-14 season – the season that hasn't yet started – has furrowed the brow of Dodge Ridge owner Sally Helm. When she was asked if there was a chance Dodge wouldn't open at all this year, Helm hesitated.
"Why would you possibly think we wouldn't open? she asked.
Helm had a very good point.
Dodge has cranked on its ski lifts every year since its opening in 1950. The late early Earl Purdy, the original owner until he sold to the Helm family in 1977, reported only one truly bad year – in 1963 when snow didn't arrive until March.
Dodge's average opening dates are the second week in December. That point was passed long ago, of course, but late-January startups aren't unusual for the Valley's most convenient ski/snowboarding venue.
But while most resorts have opened – though they operate at less than full capacity – the cozy resort near Pinecrest still waits. That ridge of high pressure, like an imaginary bubble, hangs over Northern California this winter and refuses to budge. A promising snowfall at Dodge in December has melted and the Christmas holidays have passed.
"We remain hopeful and optimistic and are ready at a moment's notice," Helm said. "If we got snow overnight, we would open the next day."
Until then, Dodge Ridge's 25-person fulltime crew continues to work while its seasonal staff of about 300 stay on hold. The Helms have rejoiced and agonized over the whims of Mother Nature for nearly 40 years. Minus a water source, Dodge possesses no snowmaking capacity. It is dependent on snowflakes falling from the sky.
The Dodge archives tell the story of lean seasons happening every 10 to 15 years – the January opening in its inaugural season, the 1963 drought and other short seasons that Sally Helm remembers in '77, '91, '00 and '12. What's different is the close proximity of the dry years in '12 and now.
Conversely, the '11 season played out like a winter wonderland – a record snowfall prompting an opening before Thanksgiving and a record 152 operating days. Last year, major storms in December and February were enough to nurse Dodge through the season. Ultimately, skiers, snowboarders and all cold-weather enthusiasts understand – some years it's steak, other years it's bologna.
"It's like being a farmer. We keep hoping for opportunities," Helm said. "We don't look at this at all as a tough year at Dodge. It's all about timing for us."
Elsewhere in the Sierra, ski resorts also look to the sky with anxiety. Many are open but are limited due to snow shortages. Bear Valley off Highway 4 east of Arnold has ignited only three beginner-level chairs – Cub, Super Cub and Kuma – near its mid-mountain lodge. Officials at Badger Pass at Yosemite National Park still hope for the storm that will allow them to open.
Tahoe resorts received a 3-inch dusting (Bear Valley got 2 inches) over the weekend, though everyone wished for much more. Arguably the venue that is doing the best is Northstar-at-Tahoe, which has opened 15 of its 20 chairs. Consider the ratios at other snow playgrounds – four of 15 at Kirkwood, 11 of 30 at Squaw Valley USA, six of 13 at Sugar Bowl, five of 14 at Sierra-at-Tahoe and 18 of 30 at Heavenly.
"Everyone is suffering in some way, even the places with a lot of snowmaking," Helm said. "You feel like a fish out of water."
Don't think fish, Sally. Think snow.
