With 100% live music, dance and song paying due respect to Irish culture and history, the show generates an electric atmosphere that sweeps audiences away to Ireland, its culture, its pubs, its music and its heart. The music in Celtic Fire is traditional at its core and performed by a talented band of Irish musicians on traditional instruments: Added to guitar and keys, the Irish fiddle drives the frenetic reels, the bodhran beats out the driving rhythms, and the plaintive uileann pipes call back to days of yore with beautiful and haunting slow airs.

Together with his oddly shaped and endearing helper Igor, his curvaceous lab assistant Inga, and, in spite of his incredibly self-involved madcap fiancée Elizabeth, Frankenstein succeeds in creating a monster - but not without scary and quite often hilarious complications. Young Frankenstein is scientifically-proven, monstrously good entertainment. It's ritzy, glitzy and blitzfully funny!

Hemingway the Hunter
Attend "Hemingway the Hunter" a lecture by John Barr, president emeritus of the Poetry Foundation on March 13 at 7pm. Ernest Hemingway's lifelong zeal for the hunting life is reflected in his masterful works of fiction, from his famous account of an African safari in "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" to passages about duck hunting in "Across the River and Into the Trees."

Courage, awe, respect, precision, patience --these were the virtues that Hemingway honored in the hunter, and his ability to translate these qualities into prose has produced some of the strongest accounts of sportsmanship of all time. Join John Barr for an evening at the Hemingway Birthplace Home exploring Hemingway and the hunt. Admission is free; donations to The Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park, gratefully accepted.

Hedda Gabler
Fresh on the heels of last season's critically-acclaimed production of Hamlet—one of the most nuanced men in dramatic literature—comes one of the most complex and fascinating female characters: Hedda Gabler.

To survive, she sets in motion an array of schemes, sowing seeds of calculated destruction in an attempt to make an impact on her husband, friends and lovers. The result is a journey of impulse and emotion that is both achingly desperate and wildly passionate. Actor Kate Fry and Director Kimberly Senior, collaborators on last season's hit drama, The Letters, bring their shared passion to this master work, offering you the unique opportunity to get up close and personal with one of the most extraordinary and seductive characters in the dramatic canon.

August Strindberg's masterpiece tells the deliciously venomous story of a crumbling marriage—laced with black comedy and biting humor. As their 25th anniversary approaches, military captain Edgar and his wife, Alice, face off in a fierce battle of wills. Their sparring proves both harrowing and hilarious, amplified by the voice of celebrated playwright Conor McPherson (The Seafarer, Shining City, Dublin Carol). His adaptation brings lyricism and ferocity to the story of the tyrannical captain and his manipulative wife, and the "innocent" Kurt who stumbles into their midst and quickly finds himself ensnared in the couple's wicked game. In the intimate confines of the Writers' bookstore space, this Dance will leave you gasping at every barbed word and sly seduction.

When all else fails, start a war says editorialist "Covert" activities examined See page 2 Romesburg explains expansion Justin Broderick Staff Writer UVCC is a unique institution in the state and the nation, which must be preserved in any four-year manifestation of the school, President Kerry Romesburg said in a public forum Tuesday. "In every case in the nation where a community college becomes a four year, in 100 percent, the community college aspect becomes smaller and smaller, and slowly becomes a traditional four year school. We can not do that," he told the group of students in the ballroom. "Whafs going to make this school different is that we're going to preserve at all costs the community college." To this end, Romesburg outlined the special classifications of bachelor's degrees the four-year school will offer: bachelors of liberal arts, technology, business and education. These degrees will be less specialized than those of universities or even other four year colleges, he said, but stressed that this was in keeping with the school's unique position. Maintaining the community nature of the school is not the only limiting factor in UVCC's expansion. Battles for funding will continue. Where the money will come from is the major question facing the legislature, the board of regents, and the state's other colleges.One source is a given. "If you don't know it already, your tuition is going to go up," Romesburg said, even though he admitted UVCCs tuition is among the highest of comparable schools in the West. Romesburg stressed the cost effectiveness of his "two-plus-two" formula, in which the school's first Council rejects advice wants raises Thomas Epting Editor in Chief Responding to requests from UVCC's student council, student government advisers suggested that council officers should receive no stipends for their service. Several officers rejected the advisers' suggestions and are negotiating the stipend amounts they will receive for spring semester. In a Jan. 16 executive session closed to the public and press council members asked Tom Hover, director of student programs and Ann Richardson, coordinator of student center activities, to suggest "due compensation" for student officers. The request follows several weeks of Jaz Kaner performs for full house Preview of upcoming acts See page 5 0"B imes volume i!ivk..i..Vsss Thomas Eptlng Th Coffey Timet UVCC President Kerry Romesburg addresses some of the issues facing the school in a public forum Tuesday. Although proceeding full-speed with a four year proposal to be submitted to the Board of Regents in September, Romesburg admitted that many questions still need to be resolved, including facilities, faculty, sports programs, and above all, funding the expanded institution. two years would be of the open-door, community college format, after which the student could be admitted to the second two years to finish the bachelor's degree. "Why will this be less expensive to the state? Because the first two years can be funded like a community college," he explained. This would be mostly due to the lower costs of faculty, who are allowed higher class loads in two-year colleges. Such questions as the library, council in-fighting over the con-rti nationality and amounts of the stipend raises four members of the council gave themselves last semester. "Experience has shown us that monetary stipends provided to student officers are more of a dis-satisfier than a motivator," said Hover, reading from his report. "It becomes clear that any amount of monetary award, whether or not that be a wage, salary, or stipend, never satisfies the need or greed for more." Hover argued that officers are servants of the student body. "Each year student officers have requested and received more monetaryreward. However,prior to the days of stipends, student '" . ...... - " . "i"." '- " 1 .

Sports, he added, could be played on the same level as before, even with the school going four-year. Romesburg is confident that the college can be expanded without severely damaging the state'sother schools. The money is there, he believes, citing the state's budget surplus as a possible source, although acknowledging that it will officers spent just as many hours and were just as productive in service to the student body as they are today," said Hover. "Therefore, the advisors recommend dropping the stipend, but do endorse the tuition waiver program including paying for official college travel expense." Student officers currently receive full tuition waivers and free college-related travel. After Hover presented the advisers' recommendations, the council moved to the discussion of a bill sponsored by Madden, Chris Brere ton and Cortney Gibbs. Their bill called for an elimination of stipends but allows $400 per semester in a sponsored account "for the purpose of paying be a fight. Oppositon to theplan, especially by students of the other state schools, is something Romesburg can understand. He said that he believes their concerns will be answered, just as the board of regents' were. "It was a big decision for the Board of R-egents. They had no basis to say no, they had no basis to say yes. They said prepare a model, and then we'll go to the legislature. That's where we are now,"he said. the fees and book expenses in addition to the full tuition wavier," the bill states. Most council members thanked Hover and Richardson, but claimed the need for compensation above the tuition wavier. Following lengthy debate, a vote was called and the bill failed. Brereton, Reese Healey and Tonya Harris voted for the bill to limit stipends. Brian Kelly, Amy Kelly, Ethan Clark and Stan Freeman voted against the bill. David Nielsen abstained. Though he spoke against the bill, studentbody President Kenneth C. Patey doesn't vote unless a tie must be broken. He said the ' stipend raise was justified and in line with state averages.

The McAllister Actwould limit abortions to instances of rape, incest, or when the mother or fetus's live is in danger. Pro-life supporters argue that the act would be a perpetuation of violation to rape and incest victims, who would be required to report incidents within a certain amount of time. Women, men and children joined in songs and chants to kick off the rally. Speakers including a minister, a legislator, U of U law professor Deborah Threhe, and BYU English Professor Eloise Bell delivered messages on various pro-choice views. "The issue is not whether abortion is right or wrong, the' issue is who should decide." said Threhe in her opening remarks. She later noted that "if the government is allowed todecidewhen women should have a child it will lead togovernmentdecidingwhen a women should not have a child." A Utah legislator spoke on parenting by choice saying pregnancy should come from intellectual intent rather than biological result. He also said that he feels the fetus is alive from when the two chromosomes join, but that was not the issue being discussed.

Generally, this is a great place to stay, beatifully decorated with pretty little details. We stayed at a quad room 4, with plenty of space, a table already laid for breakfast. There are 2 shared bathrooms fully equipped with everything you might need. Also there is a fridge and a microwave for guests, though no dishes. The location is pretty good, next to the train station. The only problem is the noise -the room faces 2 busy streets,and it's like trying to sleep in the middle of a highway.

Verify Your Downloaded ISO Images Before Burning Them
md5?? ahh.
Really, there is a RECENT article telling us to verify our lengthy downloads? Wow.
Here, kiddie, I have a tip for you.
I remember posting on some old "Linux-ISO" website, long since deceased, about how they were serving a Mandrake ISO (see? I told you it was an old website) which burned CDs that refused to boot. Refused to boot for everybody. Back when a hotrod 16x cdburner could, in a good afternoon, convert a spindle of blanks into coasters. Collectively on that day, many spindles of CDRs died for no reason.
Bittorrent was, IIRC, not yet out or maybe just not yet popular, so some membership based websites were serving 'new releases' to help members get access to the ISO without needing members to be up at 3am, wait in an FTP queue, etc., etc. for a direct connection.
Although my download from that membership site had the same MD5 as the MD5 the member site posted for that ISO, I had burned it 4 times with no success... people in the forum were also getting a lot of coasters.
I decided to see if Mandrake had a differently named ISO for that MD5, and maybe the membership ISO happened to not match what Mandrake had released or whatever. Hmm. Mandrake shows no ISO with that checksum. Not the same as Mandrake? What have I been served?
Turns out that the bozo who downloaded the ISO for his members never verified the MD5 of his ISO file, which file he in turn served to everyone else. Yes, he calculated an MD5 for the file he was serving to us, but he posted his own MD5 for his clients to work with. That is why Mandrake had no such MD5.
Yup, members all downloaded his ISO, we all calculated the same MD5, but the bozo was serving a corrupt download. He might have known how to calculate the MD5, but he simply assumed that since his other downloads were always a match.... why check his MD5 THIS time? I remember that I had lost $5 in blanks on his bad file.
Oh right, the point... ahem - 'do not assume the MD5 posted on a fourth tier server is the same MD5 posted at the origin of the file, up at tier one. Always get the MD5 data from the creator, not from some re-serving site'.
Keeps everyone on the same page.
Ok, here's your soapbox back.
What happened with u is the
What happened with u is the famous case of "ASSUMPTION".
- You assumed the MD5 on some third-party website to be same as of the original ISO.
- You assumed there would be another ISO on mandrake with same MD5 (if you closely look at properties of hash functions, you would realize that collission is not so easy)
In short, Md5 is still one of the reliable and most widely used methods of checking the integrity of a download. Now, from where you obtain the ISO or to what Md5 checksum you are comparing depends entirely on how educated the user is about hash signatures and download integrity. One can obatain the MD5 checksum from authentic websites and go ahead with download from 3-part sites.
No method of security or integrity is fool proof unless one uses it as it is supposed to be used.
My 2 cents.
MD5 and SHA1 are considered
MD5 and SHA1 are considered broken as researchers were able to generate collisions.
However, these hashing algorithms are still pre-image resistant. Hence its nearly impossible for anyone to take a random iso and make its MD5 and SHA1 hash value match the hash of the actual iso.
So Md5 and SHA1 are still reliable sources of checksum calculation for the purpose of downloads....
After thinking about it, I
After thinking about it, I came to the insight that you're absolutely right! :)
So, I have to change my last statement in my last post to that it's ok as long as you got md5/sha1-checksum from a trusted site (or source).
md5/sh1 broken
Ya'll know that md5 and sha1 is broken right? Sha2 is slightly better though.
But I suppose you can use it if you download from a trusted site and wanna check that the download went ok.
You're right, they are exploitable.
Mitch Frazier is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal.
or... use BitTorrent
One could just use BitTorrent for one's ISO downloads and just forget about {md5,sha1}sum
It's hard to be free... but I love to struggle. Love isn't asked for; it's just given. Respect isn't asked for; it's earned!
Renich Bon Ciric
Why? Does Bit-torrent
Why? Does Bit-torrent automatically check the checksum for each block of data?
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

LinkedIn launches HTML5 site, revamps apps
Maybe everyone really is shifting to building mobile sites in HTML5. Adobe Systems recently debuted its Edge tool set in public preview mode for developers interested in creating motion and interactive graphics written natively in the language.
Although this isn't quite the same as Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and others being relatively forced into HTML5 by Flash-resistant Apple for selling products on mobile sites, LinkedIn is getting on board with HTML5 with a new "experience" that can be viewed in nearly any mobile Web browser.

Fun but unappealing.
Breakout games are always fun.
However the graphics don't do the game justice, there are a lot of more interesting looking games so there's really no incentive for playing this one.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars March 21, 2008
Good Breakout-style Game
I liked it. It was good. The physics engine was well-made and I didn't expect the bar to have inertia. However, I was sort of expecting the power ups (or downs) to time out. And when the didn't, I was like, "Crap. I'm stuck with a fluctuating bar."
Overall, a good game. Thank you!
Rated 4 / 5 stars March 19, 2008
big glitch
lvl 13 has a blue brick on the far left hand side all the way at the top that no matter how you hit it, even with a dead on hit it will not break. I thought that it was a good game until then but to be honest this glitch really made the game rather bad. if you would fix it you would have a killer game.

Last month, the court also sentenced [JURIST report] Fahim Ahmad [JURIST news archive], the leader of the "Toronto 18", to 16 years in prison for his role in the terrorist organization. Ahmad's sentence was greater than the 12 years suggested by the defense but less than the 18 years requested by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC) [official website]. The sentence follows an unanticipated change to a guilty plea mid-trial [JURIST report] in May. In February, Toronto 18 member Shareef Abdelhaleem was convicted [JURIST report] after a Canadian judge found that virtually no evidence existed to support his claims of entrapment. In January, Amin Mohamed Durrani was released [JURIST report] after pleading guilty to participating in and assisting a terrorist group. Also in January, a Canadian court sentenced [JURIST report] two members of the group, Zakaria Amara and Saad Gaya [JURIST op-ed], to life and 12 years in prison, respectively, for their roles in the plot. Abdelhaleem was the first adult to be tried among the "Toronto 18," originally arrested and charged under Section 83 [Canadian DOJ backgrounder] of the Anti-Terrorism Act [text], Canada's post-9/11 legislation.
Earlier this year, the COE addressed reform for the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website] at the Interlaken Conference [official website; fact sheet, PDF] with a joint declaration [text, PDF; press release] released in February to undertake reforms [JURIST report] of the ECHR by the end of 2011 in order to address the increasing number of complaints. The ECHR currently has a backlog of approximately 120,000 cases, of which an estimated 90 percent are inadmissible or lack a legal basis. The declaration's Action Plan recognizes the need to preserve the right of individual petition, but considers changes to procedures that will reduce repetitive cases and filter admissible cases. Some of the measures proposed aim to increase efficiency [BBC report] by reducing the number of judges required to carry out some of these procedures.
The Muslim Brotherhood has previously been targeted by the Egyptian government. In April, Attorney General Abdul Magid Mahmoud announced that five international MB members will be tried in an Egyptian criminal court [JURIST report] on charges of money laundering. Egypt has also used the emergency laws extensively against other opposition parties. In July 2009, the trial of 26 individuals with alleged ties to Hezbollah was transferred to a court [JURIST report] established under the emergency laws. In February 2009, a military court utilized the laws during a trial in which it sentenced [JURIST report] opposition leader Magdy Ahmed Hussein to two years in prison. The emergency laws have been in effect continuously since the 1981 assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat and were renewed [JURIST report] most recently in May.
