A Tale of DXPC: Differential X Protocol Compression
Once upon a time there was a frustrated engineer who needed a faster way to remotely display X clients on his home PC. He had a new daughter, and very much wished to spend time with her without driving back and forth to work. One day a fellow engineer told him about a fantastic little program called DXPC. Could it be true? Were all of his problems solved? No, but at least they were improved.
DXPC stands for Differential X Protocol Compression. It is a small client/server program that runs on both sides of a low bandwidth link (e.g., 28.8K modem PPP link), and is designed to exploit "features" in the X protocol to speed up the remote display of applications across the link. It is capable of compressing the X messages as much as 10:1. However, not all messages receive such great performance. Some messages are not compressed at all. On the average, you can expect as much as 4:1 compression. This sweet little jewel was originally written by Brian Pane and further developed by Zachary Vonler.
DXPC employs six different compression techniques. First, it strips unnecessary data fields. Next, it shrinks fields with a limited number of possibilities (i.e., Boolean). Using similar techniques, it shrinks fields that are typically small, while still handling the cases where they are large. The fourth method uses a cache on each side of the link to store different command types. With this cache, instead of transmitting full coordinates, it transmits a much smaller differential value based on the previously sent command. Additionally, a cache of the last six deltas is stored so that it can do further encoding based on a pattern of deltas. Lastly, DXPC caches large blocks of data that are transmitted more than once (e.g., X resources). DXPC also employs a text compressor and an image compressor. For a more detailed description of these techniques, the authors have included a text file called DESIGN which describes how DXPC works.
DXPC is a client/server application, but the client and server are the same executable. The client side is the remote site or the site where the X applications are executed. The server side is the local site or the site where the X application is displayed. You must be able to compile DXPC and run it on the remote site and the local site. Fortunately, the authors have done most of the porting work for you. DXPC uses autoconf and will compile on most UNIX platforms right out of the "box". Additionally, there are ports to Win32 and OS/2. I compiled it for Red Hat Intel Linux (local) and Solaris 2.5.1 (remote) without a hitch. Well, one speed bump; I had to add the options -lnsl -lsocket to the LIBS line in the Makefile for Solaris. I have sent this little gnat to the authors, so hopefully it will be fixed in the 3.6 release.
Perform the steps below on both your local station and on the remote site. Once you have completed this, you are ready to go.
tar xzvf dxpc-3.5.0.tar.gz cd dxpc-3.5.0 ./configure # optionally add --prefix=/home/bubba make make install make install.man
Now the moment of triumph—let's look at an example. At work, you have a Sun box running Solaris. On this machine, named workhog, you normally run some expensive CAE (Common Applications Environment) tools that are not available for Linux. (If only these vendors realized the power of Linux.) At home, you have a Linux box named linuxrules that you want to be able to use for more than Quake and Netscape. You have already compiled and installed DXPC on both machines, and are sitting at home wanting to do some work. You boot up linuxrules, and establish a PPP connection across that pathetic 28.8K modem to workhog. On the screen are two xterms, or rxvts. One xterm is attached to linuxrules, the other to workhog.
Inside the workhog xterm, type the following three simple commands:
setenv DISPLAY linuxrules:0.0 dxpc -f -s1 setenv DISPLAY unix:8
Then, in the linuxrules xterm, type this one simple command:
dxpc -f workhog -s1Now you are ready to go. In the workhog xterm, start your very expensive CAE tool. Suddenly, it's as if your modem has turned into a T1 line. Well, not quite, but hopefully it is faster than before and fast enough to be useful. The -s1 argument is optional and will report level 1 statistics on the compression ratio. There is also a level 2 statistics argument, -s2, which prints statistics on all message types sent.
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.

When I was a kid, I was fascinated with communication devices. Our rotary-dial telephone shared a party line with neighbors. My brother and I played with tin cans and a string (it worked!) sending cryptic messages. One Christmas, we got walkie-talkies, which allowed us to talk almost 100 yards apart.
Following college graduation, I went to work for Motorola, designing and selling FM 2-way radio systems. I had a powerful radio package in my car, which enabled me to "talk" from Port Angeles to Seattle. Wow!
Today, you and I use cell phones. These devices connect us to others in myriad ways including voice and data. The latest craze, called "texting," involves sending potentially long messages in a condensed format. In fact, an entire conversation might contain just a few carefully selected letters.
IMHO (in my humble opinion) YNBFFL (your new best friend for life) is the WOGI (wisdom of great investors). What follows can serve as a valuable guide as you navigate an everchanging market environment on your journey to building and maintaining sustainable wealth.
During extreme periods of the market, which we unquestionably have now, investors often make decisions that can undermine their own best interests. That is why I believe it can be very valuable to look back in history and study closely the timeless principles that have guided some of history's greatest investors through both good and bad markets.
Though each of these great investors offers perspective on a distinct topic, the common theme is that a disciplined, patient, unemotional investment approach is required to reach and maintain your financial goals.
Avoid self-destructive behavior
Benjamin Graham, called the Father of Value Investing, said, "Individuals who cannot master their emotions are ill-suited to profit from the investment process." Emotions such as fear and greed can lead to such negative behavior as chasing the hot manager - and I don't mean "hot" as in good looking - attempting to time the market or otherwise abandoning their investment plan.
Understand that crises are inevitable
"History provides a crucial insight regarding market crises; they are inevitable, painful and ultimately surmountable," wrote Shelby M.C. Davis, founder of Davis Advisors. Investors who bear in mind that the market has grown despite and because of crises and uncertainty may be less likely to overact when faced with these events, more likely to avoid making drastic changes to their investment plans and better positioned to benefit from the long-term growth potential of equities.
Don't attempt to time the market
Peter Lynch, former manager with Fidelity, noted, "Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections or trying to anticipate corrections than has been lost in the corrections themselves." Moving out of the market with the intention of moving back in when things seem better often leads to disastrous results. History proves that missing just the 60 best trading days over a 15-year period can turn a 10-percent positive average annual return into a -3 percent negative average annual return (15-year period from 1993-2007 represented by the S&P 500 Index. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.)
Don't let emotions
guide your
investment decisions
Warren Buffett put it simply: "I will tell you how to become rich. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful." Counter-emotional investment decisions like buying at times of maximum pessimism (now?) or resisting the euphoria around investments that have outperformed can help build wealth.
Disregard short-term forecasts and predictions
Economist and author John Kenneth Galbraith believed that the function of economic forecasting "is to make astrology look respectable." While prognosticators and forecasters may be compelling, they usually add no real value. Do not waste time and energy focusing on variables that are unknowable and uncontrollable over the short-term, like the direction of interest rates or the level of the stock market. Instead, focus your energy on things you can control, like creating a properly diversified portfolio, determining your true time horizon and setting realistic return expectations.
Finally, history teaches us that you make most of your money in a bear market; you just don't realize it at the time.
I hope these words of wisdom are helpful. Until next time, TTFN.

There's a sucker born every minute, and there's a good chance he lives in Georgia, according to a recent study.
BloombergBusinessweek reports Georgians are No. 1 at being bad with money, earning the Empire State of the South the top ranking in its latest Sucker Index.
It's our love of playing the lottery (Reminder: World record $640 million jackpot drawing tonight!) that's set us up for ridicule.
Americans spend $50 billion a year in tickets for state-run games, which have the worst odds of any form of legal gambling, writes Bloomberg.
Georgia residents spent an average $470.73 on the lottery in 2010, or 1 percent of their personal income, while they received the sixth-highest prize payouts, 63 cents for each dollar spent, the Sucker Index shows. Only Massachusetts had higher spending, $860.70 per adult, more than three times the U.S. average. But Massachusetts players are luckier, they won back 72 cents for each dollar spent.
The article throws salt on the wounds by saying Georgia's per capita income is about 10 percent below the U.S. average, and that lower-income residents tend to buy a disproportionate amount of tickets.
And we're not slowing down: The $640 million frenzy prompted Georgians to buy $6.6 million in Mega Millions tickets on Thursday alone, compared to normal Mega Millions sales of around $2 million for an entire week.
How do the Sucker Index rankings work? Bloomberg took the total spent on ticket sales in each state and subtracted the amount of lottery prizes awarded. The difference was divided by the total personal income of each state's residents.
Using that formula, the top five Sucker Index states are: Georgia, Massachusetts, New York, Michigan, South Carolina.
Georgia Lottery spokeswoman Tandi Reddick said Bloomberg's story is "demeaning" in a guest editorial appearing Sunday in the Augusta Chronicle.
Reddick said the Georgia County Guide reports that Georgia's 10 poorest counties accounted for less than 1 percent of Georgia Lottery sales in fiscal year 2009.
That may be true, but I'd surmise the 10 poorest counties in Georgia represent less than 1 percent of Georgia's wealth as well.
I play the lottery, and will continue to do so. It's fun to think $1 could become $1 million overnight. If I was poor, I'd probably play more.
Hope, the emotion and the scholarship program, is a powerful thing.

This is unsurprising and yet quite sad. This lottery scheme is a means of redistributing income from the poorest to the middle and upper classes by the state government selling false hope to the those most desperate and mathematically illiterate.
I wish the state had citizens who cared enough about education to just pony up the money through state taxes. But the with the mindless and corrupt GOP and the support it enjoys there is no hope for that.

Miss Me Frayed Skinny Stretch Jean 3 3
Love I bought these in store and I love them! They go perfect with a pair of boots and love the pockets. The fit is true to size.. Can't wait to wear these in the Spring with a pair of wedges ;) February 15, 2013
I love MM and Buckle! These and a few other pairs of Miss Me's are probably the best fitting jeans I own (next to my Suki's). I'm pretty small-waisted, very tall, and have a very thick trunk.These Miss Me's fit like a glove, and make me look so slender, down below. The fabric is amazingly high quality, the length is perfect (I always order the longs, being 6' tall). And the detailing is super high quality, as well. Nothing has fallen off of these jeans, and they've probably been through the wash about 5 times since I bought them 4 months ago.Amazing products and vendors! I love Buckle! Happy, for life customer! September 3, 2013
Awesome Detail and Quality I love the jeans. They look amazing. The detail is excellent and the quality is outstanding. I've already washed them a few times and none of the rhinestones have come loose or fallen off. The detailed stitching is solid, no loose strings. The denim is soft.It would be nice if they came in 31" length, though. You definitely don't want to wear them if you've got more than a little muffin top going on. ; ) My daughter said they make me look taller and skinnier...that's all I needed to hear! I'm 5'5" and about 130ish. I got size 29 and they fit quite nicely. April 29, 2013

"The Bayhawks love playing under bridges."
Kip Turner was confused. The goalie had no clue what head coach Dave Cottle was talking about.
WATCH: Kip Turner 2013 highlights
Turner and the rest of the Bayhawks were riding the bus on their way to their semifinal playoff match-up against the Hamilton Nationals at PPL Park in Philadelphia. Sitting next to Cottle in the front row of the bus, Turner waited for the coach to explain himself.
"We're undefeated when we play under bridges."
What Cottle was referring to happened back in June. The Bayhawks traveled to Icahn Stadium to defeat the New York Lizards. Located in New York City, the stadium sits beneath the Triborough Bridge, an obscure fact the Bayhawks coach remembered nearly three months later. Driving in Philly with the stadium in the distance, Cottle noted that PPL Park sat just beneath the Commodore Barry Bridge.
Turner laughed with the rest of his teammates after Cottle explained, but the joke stayed with him the rest of the weekend. "It was such a subtle comment, but it stuck with me," Turner says. "It's just his subtle way of setting us up for success."
Success is exactly what Turner and his teammates enjoyed, as the Bayhawks won their third title in four years the next day, defeating the Charlotte Hounds 10-9. Turner was a major factor in the victory; making 14 saves on 22 shots.
"It didn't hit me until the last 45 seconds that we were going to win," Turner says. "It's such a good feeling knowing. It's like you're floating on cloud 9 for the next two hours. You don't really realize what's going on. It's just pure happiness."
Turner wasn't immediately excited after the game, however. With two seconds left, Matt Danowski fired a rocket from midfield that ricocheted off a player in front and beat Turner top corner. The two-pointer didn't affect the outcome of the game, but it still frustrated him. The reaction perfectly encapsulated Turner; a perfectionist, always playing until the last whistle. Coach Cottle agrees.
"He's a competitor and he's accountable. I like those two adjectives for him. He'll assume responsibility when it's his fault. When guys in front of him make a mistake, he encourages them and in turn, they play harder in front of him."
Destined to be a goalie
Growing up in Severna Park, Maryland, Kip Turner was the youngest of five children, the runt of the litter, or in his family, goalie. Starting when he was just five years old, Kip was always told by his older brothers, "you, goal, now." He would sit in the net while kids twice his age fired tennis balls at him.
For Christmas when he was six, Kip received a large present from his parents. It was street hockey pads, a blocker and a glove: "It was over after that." Kip officially became a goalie.
For high school, Turner attended The Severn School where he played three sports: hockey, soccer, and of course, lacrosse. Turner played goalie in both hockey and lacrosse, earning All-Conference honors and Team MVP in both sports, but he was always better at lacrosse.
In Turner's junior year, Severn found itself in a tightly contested battle with fellow powerhouse Loyola Blakefield when the ball squirted out near the top of the restraining box where Turner went to chase it. He was beaten to the ball by a "little lefty attackman that I knew was a year younger." Turner put all his weight behind him and plowed into the kid like a linebacker, knocking the attackman to the ground. The two got in each other's faces, but were separated by officials soon after. The other player's name? Ben Rubeor, future teammate at both the University of Virginia and now with the Chesapeake Bayhawks.
"I remember that incident," Rubeor says with a laugh. "Then when I went down on my official visit to Virginia, [Kip] was my host. He's certainly a fierce competitor on the field, but off the field he's one of the nicest guys, so we got along pretty well."
In his senior year of high school, Turner narrowed his college choices down to Penn State and the University of Virginia. However, Kip had made up his mind years before, declaring he would play lacrosse at UVA when he was just six years old. He followed through on that declaration, joining the Cavaliers in 2003, but what was the deciding factor for Turner at such a young age?
"It was the colors," Turner says while smiling. "I'm a big orange and blue guy. At that age, I didn't know diddly about lacrosse so it was the colors. Then when I got to the university for my official visit, I fell in love with it because of all it has to offer. It had exactly what I wanted in a university."
Turner played the backup role his freshman year, playing behind All-American and former MLL star Tillman Johnson, whom Turner proclaims "the best there ever was." Turner then took over the starting role his sophomore year, leading the Cavaliers to an NCAA title in 2006. It was just the first of many championships he would win on the big stage.
Turning Pro
After his monster 2006 collegiate season, the Boston Cannons selected Turner with the second overall pick in the draft. It was the highest a goalie had ever been picked, something Turner considered "humbling." Although, to be honest, Turner was surprised he was drafted so highly.
"I didn't know if I was going to play Major League Lacrosse at all because I didn't know if I was even going to be picked. But [Boston GM] Billy Daye called me and said, 'you're coming to Boston two overall. We want you.' I was like, 'wow, this is amazing.'"
Turner called Harvard Stadium his home for the next five seasons, a place where his great-grandfather scored the first touchdown the stadium had ever seen. A place he calls "the coolest place you could play, with an incredible atmosphere and the fans right on top of you." An organization in the Cannons he had, and still has, great respect for.
In 2010 while still playing with the Cannons, Turner took an assistant coaching job at Brown University to coach with Lars Tiffany, who was one of the main reasons Turner strongly considered Penn State (Tiffany was an assistant at PSU at the time). Coaching has proved to be difficult for Turner, but extremely rewarding. The job has helped him become better as a pro and allows him to teach the sport that he loves.
"Being an MLL player, it's almost like going to school and getting your master's in lacrosse," Turner says. "That's what I equate it to, because I'm learning stuff from players and coaches that I can apply to my job at Brown. It also helps with recruiting because kids know that you're still playing."
But it wasn't all peaches and cream for Turner in Beantown. In 2011, Turner was being outplayed by newcomer Jordan Burke, and lost his starting job. Turner did his best to support Burke in spite of him taking his starting gig. "Jordan's very talented, a very good goalie and a good guy. I just wanted to be a good teammate for him."
The Cannons went on to win the MLL title that year with Turner as the backup. It was the first title for both Turner and the Cannons, who had "both gotten the monkey off our back." But for Turner, it brought on an offseason of uncertainty, where he began to question his future in Major League Lacrosse.
"After the championship, it was two months of 'what am I going to do next? Should I just retire? This coaching thing is pretty tough.' I had just moved to the Boston area, to Providence for my job at Brown. It was tough."
But the then 26-year-old Turner decided to stick it out for a bit. Later that offseason, he found himself at a recruiting event down in Maryland with Cottle. Major League Lacrosse was expanding in the 2011-12 offseason, and with the expansion came a supplemental draft. Cottle told Turner he was likely going to pick him up in the draft, but again, doubt crept into Turner's mind.
"My first thought when he told me that was, 'am I even going to play? I don't know if I'm that good anymore.' I called coach Cottle and he said, 'hey, you're going to have to earn it, but we want you as our starter.' After that, I was like, 'alright, I'm in.'"
It was right place, right time for the goalie that can often say the same about his positioning. He was back in a starting role, and boy did it show. Turner led the league in goals against average in 2012, posting a 7-4 record to go along with it. In the playoffs, he became nearly unbeatable. His unreal 7.56 goals against average and incredible .634 save percentage led to his first MLL title as a starter, also earning him the nickname Mr. August. Not only was winning the championship a great accomplishment for Turner, but whom the Bayhawks beat on the way to that championship made it even more enjoyable.
"Even though I have a lot of friends on that team, it was sweet beating Boston in the semifinals. It was extra sweet for me. 2012 was a bit of a revenge title. I wanted to win one for the Bayhawks, but I also wanted to win one for me."
USA dreams
So what's next for Turner? He's accomplished nearly everything one can in the sport of lacrosse. National Championships, MLL titles, personal accolades, but there's something missing; an appearance for Team USA.
Turner caught his first glimpse of USA lacrosse when he was just eight years old. The youngin handed out fliers outside his neighborhood store Behind the Back for a free ticket. Next year, it may be an eight-year-old handing out fliers to see Kip Turner play for Team USA.
"That's the dream of dreams if you will," Turner says of making Team USA. "For me, there couldn't be a better finish to the last couple of years than that. And it's not just making the team, but winning the gold. That's the ultimate goal."
But for now, Turner will continue his assistant coaching job at Brown, enjoy the offseason and wait until next year to try and go back-to-back-to-back with the Bayhawks. Right now, he's just happy to still be playing the sport that he loves, and to be performing for fans that appreciate him so much.
"We get to do what we love and have great fans come and watch us. It's a pretty special thing what we have with our fans. [The MLL] is not about getting paid, it's about relishing the moment of playing in front of these fans. It's so cool to give back."

What do you do when a record snow storm slams into some parts of Oklahoma but skips some cities, and leads to loud complaints about your weather-predicting skills?
You sing the blues; or the blues with a bit of a country twang.
Several members of the News 9 Weather Team – including Chief Meteorologist Gary England and meteorologists Mike Armstrong, Matt Mahler and Lacey Swope – came up with their own version of the country classic "Take This Job and Shove It." The weather team's version, called "Take This Snow and Toss It," came after days of watching the storm system march toward Oklahoma, bringing with it the promise of record snowfall totals.
While the storm dumped nearly two feet of snow in northwestern Oklahoma, and led to power outages and highway closings, the system defied predictions and just skimmed Oklahoma City, leaving barely a trace of snow.
"We get it. There's people in Oklahoma City [who wanted] to see the snow, too," said News 9 Meteorologist Michael Armstrong. "It's been particularly bad in some areas, but in the metro it wasn't too bad."
After long days of watching the weather, the News 9 Weather Team decided to blow off some steam with a little music.
"When you deal with a big storm, when it's all said and done, you have to have a little bit of an outlet. And so we had a little bit of fun."

Admission to the Major |
The Deaf Studies major provides students with a solid proficiency in American Sign Language and a deep understanding of the culture and community of people who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing. This immersion into Deaf culture begins with the very first courses in American Sign Language (ASL) which are taught by instructors who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Students are expected to continue their immersion through required attendance at Deaf community events, held on and off campus, silent lunches and dinners, and guest speaker events. During the Senior year, all students complete a 3 unit internship at an agency, organization or school that serves the Deaf community. The Deaf Studies faculty suggests additional ways to improve and maintain ASLD skills, including involvement with the ASL Club on campus and the option of completing a semester as a "visiting student" at Gallaudet University. A semester at Gallaudet is typically completed during the Junior year, after ASL 4 and before taking the final 30 credits at Towson. For more information please contact the Deaf Studies Program Coordinator. All DFST majors take 35 to 37 units of core courses designed to introduce students to Deaf culture, and provide an intensive push towards fluency in American Sign Language. Each ASL class must be passed with a grade of B or better in order to progress to the next level. Students then select one of two major focus areas, or can elect to complete one of two combined majors that are outlined below. All students complete an internship experience before graduation. Students must pass the American Sign Language Proficiency Interview (ASLPI), a standardized screening of ASL skills, before registering for the internship course. Deaf Studies - Human Services Area of Focus: This area of focus is for students who want careers in agencies or organizations that provide services to individuals who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. The B.S. degree prepares students for entry-level work in social service agencies, and non-profit organizations. This focus area is also beneficial for students who want to continue post-baccalaureate studies in interpreter training programs. Deaf Studies - Deaf Culture Area of Focus: This area of focus is for students who want to learn more about the history, language, and culture of Deaf people. Students will gain a solid understanding of the Deaf community with a grounding in anthropological and sociological methods of studying cultures. Deaf Studies - Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Combined Major: Speech-language pathologists and audiologists provide services to individuals with difficulty communicating. This includes communication across all modalities, including American Sign Language. This unique combined degree program prepares students to work with Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals who use American Sign Language as their first language. Students who want certification to practice as speech-language pathologists or audiologists must continue their education at the graduate level. This degree program has multiple sequenced requirements. Students who decide to enter this program after their freshman year should realize that they may not be able to graduate on time.Deaf Studies - Elementary Education Combined Major: The current educational environment focuses on including Deaf and Hard of Hearing children in inclusive classroom settings. This combined degree leads to full certification in elementary education, with the benefits of gaining proficiency in American Sign Language and learning about Deaf culture. Teachers with this combined degree will be prepared to include Deaf and Hard of Hearing children in their elementary classrooms. Students wanting teaching certification for the Deaf or Hard of Hearing can continue their training at the graduate level. This degree program has multiple sequenced requirements. Students who decide to enter this program after their freshman year should realize that they will not be able to graduate on time. Students from the ASL Club worked with the Curtis National Hand Center at Union Memorial Hospital to celebrate the amazing things our hands can do.

Gerald Udell, director of the Center for Business and Economic Development at Southwest Missouri State University, in Springfield, Mo., is betting that you're not. When Wal-Mart hired him to rate small companies as potential suppliers, Udell found that many were ill equipped to perform in the big leagues. One entrepreneur he talked with innocently said, "Tell me what button I have to push."
Whether you're talking about the U.S. government or a major corporation, all large buyers have at least one thing in common with Wal-Mart: they expect more -- a lot more -- from their suppliers. Yet when Udell assessed 2,200 small companies, most came up woefully short in critical areas of management. It's significant that many, for example, "failed" finance and accounting. A whopping 68% did no cash-flow analysis at all, a deadly shortcoming when large sums of money pass in and out of a business.
So would your company pass the major-league-readiness test? Or would you be booted back to the minors? To find out, answer the four questions that Udell uses in his "venture assessment," below.

4 points: Four strikes and you're out.

[JURIST] All convicted federal felons must provide DNA samples to a federal database available to police departments throughout the country, a divided panel of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled [opinion, PDF] Thursday. Judge Margaret McKeown, writing for the majority, upheld a 2004 amendment [summary] to the DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act (DNA Act) [summary], requiring any felon in custody, or on probation, parole, or supervised release to submit DNA samples to the FBI's Combined DNA Indexing System (CODIS) [official website; FBI backgrounder, PDF]. The original act, passed in 2000, only required DNA samples from convicted felons of qualifying offenses, relating mostly to violent and sexual crimes. The 2004 amendment extended the qualifying crimes to cover a nonviolent drug offender convicted in Washington. Thomas Kriesel served his prison sentence, and later refused to submit his DNA sample to the CODIS database while under three additional years of supervised release. The Ninth Circuit upheld the 2004 amendment, writing that:
[T]he DNA Act is constitutional because the government's significant interests in identifying supervised releases, preventing recidivism, and solving past crimes outweigh the diminished privacy interests that may be advanced by a convicted felon currently serving a term of supervised release.

Memoir; Veteran Voices: A Photo Chronicle of WWII Veterans
A successful commercial/editorial photographer in Orlando, Florida, Eric Dusenbery says he was greatly influenced by his father when honoring World War II veterans in his book, Veteran Voices. According to Dusenbery, he grew up listening to his father's WWII experiences in the South Pacific. "He was in New Guinea, the Philippines, and eventually went to Japan for a while," he says. His father also showed him war souvenirs and ribbons—"As a kid, I was in awe of the stuff and thought they were the coolest things I'd ever seen."
As the veterans were getting older, Dusenbery decided that their stories "needed to be told." He began with his father and sought other veterans via his church in Orlando, through Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) meetings in central Florida, and Internet searches. Eventually, he says, word of mouth and referrals from other vets became a major source of finding them. Dusenbery set about the task of photographing these veterans and documenting their oral histories.
The result is a compilation of "then and now" photographs, in
which a current environmental portrait of the veteran (photographed by Dusenbery)
appears next to a WWII-era photo of the person in uniform. These images illustrate
47 veterans' memories of serving in the war.
"When I listened to their stories, I was struck speechless at what they went through," he says, adding that he felt that "my effort was just a small contribution." Most of the veterans were thrilled to be included in Veteran Voices. "It was a big ego boost for some." Dusenbery says he also learned a lot about the military while doing this project. "The historical angle was something I hadn't considered, but I heard about D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, and other events," he says.

Although gas prices in the U.S. have been high in recent years, it might put things into perspective to compare current gas prices on a global level. Europeans pay more than twice as much as Americans per gallon. The countries with natural oil resources, however, pay next to nothing with less than ten percent of the U.S. prices per gallon.

Hewlett-Packard will expand its HDTV retail presence with the introduction of five SKUs into Best Buy starting this month.
Jan Luc Blackborn, HP's consumer digital entertainment director, said the rollout will take place over a period of several months, but by late summer three LCD and two plasma models will be on sale throughout the Best Buy chain. All five models were introduced in January at International CES and include one that is Wi-Fi equipped.
"This is the next step in our TV strategy to place HP on a national stage and bring the IT experience to the HDTV arena," Blackborn said.
Prior to this announcement HP's TV line had only sold through specialty and regional retailers.
Best Buy opted not to pick up any of HP's rear-projection units, Blackborn said.

Technology Policies
Since 2010, when the Monterey Institute became part of Middlebury, we have taken steps to integrate information technology services to provide students, faculty and staff with an optimal infrastructure for teaching, learning, communication and information management. Many of the tools used at the Institute, from email to Banner to the Institute's web site, are now managed by Middlebury's department of Library and Information Services (LIS).
As technology services and network infrastructure are gradually becoming more integrated, it makes sense for us to align policies for the use of these resources to the extent possible given the differences in scope and scale of our campus computing environments. In matters pertaining to privacy, security, and responsible use of computing facilities, Monterey Institute faculty, staff and students are subject to Middlebury Library and Information Services policies.
In particular, the following policies related to shared resources, as described in the Middlebury Handbook, apply to Monterey Institute faculty, staff, and students:

avast! Free Antivirus 2014 has several advanced modules that provide additional protection from malware:
- Online Security / Browser Protection (previously known as WebRep) - provides community-based Web Reputation system as a browser extension for Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. It also blocks known Phishing sites that try to steal your user names and passwords. Additional SiteCorrect feature blocks visiting malicious sites if you make a spelling error in safe site's address - one example in the past was google.com vs googkle.com.
In Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, the extension also works as Ad Blocker and Tracking Protection. - Browser Cleanup - removes browser toolbars that do not want to go away or have bad reputation among users.
- Site Blocking - prevents access to defined web sites for parental control.
- Software Updater - detects and notifies when updates are needed for common programs, such as browsers and add-ons.
avast! Online Security browser extension
avast! Free Antivirus also provides web reputation, anti-phishing, SiteCorrect and Ad Blocker with tracking protection. Two latter ones are available for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox only; IE users can use the built-in Tracking Protection in Internet Explorer 9, 10 and 11 easily.
The web reputation system is similar to WOT Safe Surfing Tool - a browser add-on that displays reputation ratings for web sites you visit and for search results of major search engines (Google, Yahoo!, Bing). The plugin also protects from entering phishing sites.
The color of letter "a" in browser toolbar shows how safe the site is:
- green ones are safe,
- yellow ones have bad reputation (but they are not malicious per sé),
- red ones are unsafe and will be blocked,
- grey ones have not been rated yet.
In Chrome and Firefox, the number shows how many ads and trackers have been disabled on the current web page.
Here are a few examples of search engine results that have yellow and red rating:
Enabling avast! Online Security browser extension
Nowadays, each extension/plug-in/add-on must be manually approved. Here are steps you need to take after installing or upgrading to avast! Free Antivirus 2014.

Google Chrome users will see the "avast! Online Security" added dialog. Click Enable extension.
Mozilla Firefox users must take a few more steps. First, in the avast! Online Security notification, tick the Allow this installation check box and click Continue.
Next, in the bottom of the same dialog, click Restart Firefox.
Configuring avast! Online Security browser extension
To change the settings of avast! Online Security, click its button in browser toolbar and then click Settings in the bottom right.
In Internet Explorer, dark boxes mean enabled features. siteCorrectAuto and SafeZone are premium options only available in paid versions of avast! Antivirus 2014.
Make sure that you have at least Phishing and siteCorrect enabled here. You can also click Reset Settings to Default if these features are disabled.
Those very concerned about their privacy can disable communityIQ to prevent avast! from sending anonymous data about detected malware and sites with bad reputation.
Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox users have more settings available in avast! Online Security.
Please ensure that at least Antiphishing and SiteCorrect check boxes are ticked here.
Do not track blocks social networks and ad tracking by default. Web analytics and others are harmless for most people, so leave these check boxes unticked.
CommunityIQ is again up to you; and Reset to default is available for those who mess up settings.
Click Save after making changes.
Please note that you cannot create exclusions in avast! Online Security browser extension - all settings are global and either on or off.
Here's how Online Security report for currently open web page looks after clicking its toolbar button. To see further details about an item, stop mouse pointer on a switch button. This reveals which trackers were (or were not) blocked. You can enable or disable any category or individual sub-items by flipping its switch (the category switch turns yellow and has exclamation mark after disabling any sub-item).
Rating sites with avast! Online Security
If you use the browser protection plug-in, please help avast! by providing your own rating to unrated sites or sites with few votes.
Click the extension's toolbar button and then click the Rate Now button on the top right.
Choose either Positive or Negative. The latter will spawn another question about the site category, but answering this is optional - just click Done.
Your opinion will then be reviewed by avast! team. Click the Online Security toolbar button again to hide the sidebar.
Disabling avast! Online Security browser extension
If you do not like or need the browser add-on, you can turn it off easily.
In Internet Explorer, open Tools menu (press Alt key once to reveal menus) and click Manage add-ons. IE 9 and newer also support keyboard shortcut Alt+X.
In Manage Add-ons window, make sure that Toolbars and Extensions is selected on the left. Find and click avast! Online Security and then click Disable in the bottom right. Make sure you turn off both listed items!
In Google Chrome, click Customize and control Google Chrome button (the three bars on top right), expand Tools menu and click Extensions.
Then clear the Enabled check box for avast! Online Security extension.
In Mozilla Firefox, click the orange Firefox button and select Add-ons from the right.
Open Extensions tab from the left and click Disable button for avast! Online Security.
As usual, Firefox requires a restart for the change to take effect. Click Restart now.
Using avast! Browser Cleanup for getting rid of stubborn toolbars and add-ons
avast! Browser Cleanup is a godsend for those who have been struggling with browser toolbars and plugins/addons that do not want to uninstall properly, or come back alive from nowhere. Browser Cleanup uses reputation services to determine which toolbars and addons cause trouble or are malicious.
First, open avast! user interface by clicking its icon in Taskbar Notification Area (aka System Tray).
Open Tools tab from the left and click Browser Cleanup.
Click the huge Start Browser Cleanup button on the right.
In case some toolbar or extension with poor reputation has been detected, it is recommended to use the Remove all add-ons button, but you can also delete only some of the detections.
In this case, the infamous Ask Toolbar was detected and is finally about to be removed properly.
After the cleanup is complete, a success message appears. Click OK.
If scanning result reads "Your browsers appears to be free from add-ons that have a poor reputation", everything is fine with the installed web browser(s). No further action is required.
Configuring avast! Site Blocking - denying access to unwanted sites
Site Blocking feature is useful for parents protecting their kids from addiction to some online games or websites; or any user who needs to block his/her computer from accessing some certain site (for example, to help cleaning malware).
This feature must be used with avast! password protection, otherwise it is absolutely useless.
In avast! Free Antivirus 2014 main window, click Settings tab on the left.
Then, in avast! Settings window, open Active Protection tab from the left and click the cogwheel icon for Web Shield.
In avast! Web Shield Settings window, open Site Blocking tab.
First, tick the Enable site blocking box. Then, under URLs to block, type a web site address. For example, facebook.com. Note that avast! adds an asterisk (*) to the end of the address. The asterisk means that any sub-address (e.g. facebook.com/avast) of the site will also be blocked.
As wildcards, such as asterisks and question marks are supported, it is not recommended to use the "www." prefix. Instead, replace it with "*.", for example "*.facebook.com" - this will prevent opening any subsites of Facebook. E.G., specifying "www.facebook.com" will deny access to http://www.facebook.com, but not to http://facebook.com; while using "*.facebook.com" will block both.
To change an entry, simply click it and make your corrections. To delete an entry, click the delete button to the right of the entry.
When a user tries to open a blocked site, a blocking message will be displayed by avast! Web Shield:
Sadly, there is a huge limitation to avast! Site Blocking - it does not support secure connections (HTTPS). So you can block http://www.facebook.com, but not https://www.facebook.com.
Using avast! Software Updater for manually updating important programs and add-ons
Shortly after installing avast! Free Antivirus 2014, many users encounter notifications from avast! Software Updater: "The software update status of your computer is CRITICAL".
In such case, click Show details to open Software Updater.
This feature checks if there are any security updates available for most important programs, such as web browsers and common add-ons. Free version of avast! will not apply these updates automatically (only paid version of avast! does). To get free automated updating, use Secunia PSI.
Software Updater button is available in avast! main window, Tools tab.
Click Update for the program that requires it - this will download the latest version and you can install it on your own.
Please note that most browsers have automatic updating function available. After updating a program manually, you can click Refresh in avast! Software Updater if the warning dialogs still appear.
If there is some software that you cannot or do not want to update, click the Ignore Updates link instead.
To resume warnings about the program later, click Stop ignoring.
To configure the feature, click Settings in the left part of avast! user interface, open the Tools tab and click Customize.
If you have multiple users on your Windows PC, it is strongly recommended to tick the Allow update of system-wide products for administrators only check box. This will prevent avast! from notifying standard (non-administrator) users about programs that require administrative rights during installation.
To speed up updating, enable the Automatically download updates if possible option. avast! will then save installers quietly and you'll spare some time. This one is not recommended if your primary/system hard drive is tight on space.
Notifications (popups) enabled should be turned on if you want to use avast! Software Updater.
The Database reset (troubleshooting) section allows clearing avast!'s list of installed products and versions. This comes in handy if avast! Software Updater thinks falsely that some latest programs are not up-to-date, or detects software that is not installed.
Just click Reset database now in such cases.
The action will be confirmed, click Yes. Then click OK in success dialog.
And then you can also clear the Enable Software Updater check box altogether if you use alternative programs, such as Secunia PSI, for this task.
