It's time for the elephant stampede. Let's fix this mess.
yes this years vote is critical!!!
Despite who wins what (with the exception of the aforementioned stadium tax in ilm), I mostly want to see record numbers at least 10% more than the 2008 record setting election. I want to see people more engaged and involved.
Exercise your right to vote--it preserves your right to complain.
i voted, but i'm not in Wilmington so i can't vote against it. but i would if i could.
[rant] that being said, i am soooooo tired of gratuitous use of the scary red-meat-for-wingnuts S-word. things like public roads, schools, libraries, fire protection, police protection etc etc are socialist in nature and pretty much everybody agrees these are good things. the ballpark, on the other hand, is a bad idea - not because it might be socialist, but because it's a bad deal as written and primarily benefits (as the op points out) a multi-billion dollar sports organization.
all that is socialist is not bad, all that is capitalist is not good. [/rant]

If only the city would be more open to look somewhere else, other than downtown Wilmington. Why pay $14+ million for a chunk of land that does not even meet baseball regulations, not to mention the lack of parking etc. I like how Wilmington is keeping a low down on the group that offered 33.5 acres for free. Problem is, the property is over the bridge, but directly across from PPD & the projected site. Wilmington does not want the community benefits partially going to Brunswick County.
I'm just waiting for Carolina Beach's Hilton & Harris Teeter to pop up - does anyone have a time frame on that one?
Of course I don't have a vote in NC either so I guess its not too important what I think.

Christopher Dorner manhunt: The story in photos
The hunt for Christopher Dorner, the revenge-seeking ex-cop, that began with a deadly rampage that would claim four lives, ended abruptly Tuesday when a man believed to be Dorner bolted from hiding, stole two cars, barricaded himself in a vacant cabin and mounted a last stand in a furious shootout in which he killed one sheriff's deputy and wounded another before the building erupted in flames, authorities said.

Who will win the World Series?
Boston the favorite to repeat, but the Tigers aren't far behind
Baseball's general managers and managers are paid to evaluate. To project. To figure out what makes a winner. To determine what gets you to October and puts you over the top.
They're also experts at keeping things close to the vest. At being loyal to their team above all. At focusing on the best in their own and exploiting the worst in others. So asking them which teams -- other than their own -- will advance to the World Series, especially when they're just now opening up camps for Spring Training, might be in their wheelhouse, but it also might make a few of them squirm a bit. As much as they know, there's plenty they don't want others to know they know. Undeterred, MLB.com's ever-intrepid reporters sought out responses to that query from either the GM or the manager of the teams they cover, asking under the cloak of anonymity so those cards could be kept close to the vest. Even with that caveat, it was clear these competitors are loathe, some more than others, to even discuss the notion that any team but their own could go all the way. "You can't pick your own team, eh?," one said. "That's like, 'Who do you want to go out with? But you can't pick your wife.' " Thankfully, this survey doesn't have such dramatic consequences. And, ultimately, despite the literally hundreds of years of experience in the survey field, the majority rule was probably what a lot of regular Joes and Janes of baseball fandom might pick. As one might expect, the Red Sox reigned overall as the pick to repeat in 2008. Overall, the Red Sox earned 17 votes to make it as World Series champions, followed by the power-charged Tigers with seven. "They're without a doubt the team with the most depth, highest caliber of talent and least weaknesses," one expert said of the Red Sox. "They should be a dominant team again, and the depth of quality Minor League talent offsets the risk of injury." Said another: "Until someone dethrones them, I would have to say they have the best shot. They had the best team in baseball last year and have everyone coming back. There is a lot of talent in a lot of areas on that team."Fall Classic crystal ball | |||||||

"I think they have such great pitching and such great depth. [Daisuke] Matsuzaka is going to get better, and I'm not sure there is a better sixth man in the rotation than either Clay Buchholz or Jon Lester, whoever doesn't win out for that fifth spot. I just think they are too deep and too good not to repeat." "Pitching wins, and when you have great hitting too, it's a tough combination." Tigers
"If their pitching stays healthy, they should win. And in their lineup, they could have [Edgar] Renteria hitting seventh, Pudge [Ivan Rodriguez] eighth and [Marcus] Thames and [Jacque] Jones platooning and hitting ninth. That's 10 or 15 hits every night."
MLB.com POLL
"At the end of the day, it comes down to throwing the baseball. I like the Indians' pitching." Mets
"A lot of people are picking the Mets since they got [Johan] Santana and they're a heck of a team. But they aren't perfect, either. They're going to have to bounce back from what happened last year, and they still haven't addressed their bullpen." #ques_include {width:300px;float:right;margin-left:5px;} #ques_content {border-top:1px solid #4C8CA8;border-left:1px solid #4C8CA8;padding-left:5px;} .ques_schedule {margin-top:5px;font-size:11px;} .ques_dates {font-size:11px;font-style:italic;color:#999;}
"I think putting Brett Myers back in the rotation and [Brad] Lidge in the bullpen is a good move if a change of scenery helps Lidge, and I think their offense if going to score a lot of runs. . . . With [Chase] Utley and [Jimmy] Rollins and [Ryan] Howard, you've got three potential MVP-type guys.
"The Dodgers have some real good young talent in place, their pitching is at the top of the class and Joe [Torre] will have a great influence on the kids over there." D-backs
"Best young team in the league." Rockies
"They're a young group and they gained all that experience. Now, they think they're good." Braves
"Bringing back [Tom] Glavine is a big lift. The Braves have a strong lineup with Chipper [Jones] as the leader. They have a good mix of veterans and young kids who are on the rise. This could be one last one for Bobby Cox." Go figure. The Braves might be the Rockies of 2008. That's the kind of bold approach that makes someone who actually pegged the Rockies a year ago -- eh, not than any in our survey did, mind you -- look like an expert among experts. Still, it's only February, and October's a long way away, as one of the experts who picked the Red Sox to go all the way suggests. "A lot depends on injuries and how a team happens to be playing at the time," he said. "I'm not sure how anybody predicts these things, other than throwing darts against the wall." But, hey, if you have people throwing darts, might as well be the experts.

For Chavez impersonator, cancer no laughing matter
MIAMI (AP) — It's an hour before showtime, and Gustavo Rios is transforming himself into Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
A makeup artist paints his skin a dark olive tone. A plastic mole is glued strategically on the upper right corner of his forehead. Large, latex ears and a short, black wig cover his head as he squints and purses his lips in front of a mirror.
He mimics Chavez with comical, exaggerated precision, his voice billowing in a triumphant tone and his hands prancing in the air. It's a mockery that came with a price in Venezuela, where the boisterous, domineering president has carefully cultivated his image as a widely supported savior: Rios was taunted, threatened, robbed, even had his car set ablaze.
Rios fled Venezuela, and now his act is featured in a Spanish-language show broadcast on U.S. airwaves. Meanwhile, the real Chavez lies ill in a Cuban hospital recovering or suffering — no one seems to know exactly — from complications following cancer surgery in December.
He dresses in the president's iconic red and pokes fun at being in the hospital. On a recent show, he stood chained to an IV but danced to the 1980 hit "Celebration" as he played Nintendo Wii. What he doesn't do: mention the word "cancer." Rios knows what cancer is like. His own father has it.
"Cancer is a very grueling illness," he says, his voice solemn.
Rios first did his Chavez impression on a radio show called "Con Las Pilas Puestas" — "With the Batteries On" — in Maracaibo, a city along the western coast of Venezuela that is his family's hometown. He pretended to talk with the presidents of Cuba, Russia and Iran and Osama bin Laden about conquering the world. On one episode, he schemed to kidnap the president of the United States and torture him with hours of Mexican norteno music, a folk genre that features the accordion and has roots in polka.
Not everyone thought it was funny. Supporters of Chavez, who for years has condemned U.S. capitalism and pushed a socialist platform, called him names: Weakling. Imperialist. Oligarch. On four occasions, his car was robbed. Then it was set on fire outside the studio in midday. There were threatening messages, notes that promised death.
Eventually, he took his wife and 3-year-old son and filed for political asylum in Miami, home to the largest Venezuelan population outside the South American country — most of them fiercely anti-Chavez.
"It was terrible," he says. "Leaving my family was the worst."

People who attended programs for adults and young adults
Monthly requests filled for teachers who need special collections for their classrooms.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Thursday evening, the Kanawha County Board of Education is scheduled to consider funding for the Kanawha County Public Library system. It will also determine how current school board members will be remembered.The school board asked for and got the court ruling it wanted: that the board is not required to fund the county library.
So, now what?
Several school board members have said repeatedly that the public library is a valuable part of education. Will a majority of school board members show they mean it by continuing to fund the public library in a substantial way?
The school board agreed to support the library at the current level through the end of the fiscal year on June 30, a responsible approach.
The next question is how much will the school board provide in the 2013-14 budget year? The library has asked for $2.5 million, which is less than the nearly $3 million it currently receives. At that lower level, the library will acquire fewer materials, employ fewer staff and be open for shorter hours.
For more than a century, Kanawha residents have enjoyed the legacy of earlier citizens who established and improved the public library.
In addition to the obvious books, computers and homework help offered to people who visit public library branches, library staffers also contribute to education every day is ways not immediately obvious. They beef up school libraries and classroom collections. They offer programs in schools and other sites tied to the school system's learning goals. They offer programs for young parents and small children to foster literacy. They offer Internet access to people who can't afford it at home. They offer tools and help for job hunters and entrepreneurs.
For decades, Kanawha County has enjoyed a top-notch library that moves and changes with the times, that supports the education of residents of all ages, both in school and out. That has been possible because the library network has been adequately and consistently funded. Most counties in West Virginia do not invest as much in their libraries. While the state consistently ranks in the top 10 in state support for public libraries, West Virginia ranks 49th in local support. Kanawha has long been a happy exception.
In deciding how much to voluntarily fund this important part of public education, school board members will determine their legacy, and show what kind of community they want to leave for those who come afterward.

I was so disappointed to find out that for $50 the DVDs did not even have chapters or subtitles. Without chapters, you cannot stop playing and return to the same position to finish watching the show at a later time. Also, nothing displays in the elapsed time without chapters. I called customer service at WB and registered my complaint, but I doubt if they will change anything for the making of Season 3.

Crooks,October 17, 2010 ByBruce –This review is from: Falcon Crest: Season Two (DVD)Couldn't agree with the first post more. I have already seen the thieves on E-bay try to gouge for this product
as well, but with them you have no clue if it is pirated or not. It is sad that everyone has to be greedy with the fans
that are collectors of this great t.v. show. I got season two a while back at warner bros. store, and thought they
overgcharged as well. I suspect that all future seasons will be relased only through them………….

Other Thoughts: This all-in one computer is good for just about anything,except what i was wanting it for.Which was playing games at median to high graphics,but if you play any graphic intensive game higher than low,there is a drastic drop in frame rate.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Hyundai Azera
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.5
Hyundai's evolution from an entry-level upstart to a full-line manufacturer of quality automobiles is nothing short of amazing, as evidenced by the 2011 Azera. Designed to compete with the Buick Lucerne and Toyota Avalon, the Azera offers a desirable array of features, including a huge rear seat and a choice of two strong V6 engines, all at an unbeatable price. One of the most powerful V6 Hyundai has ever built, the company takes pride in pointing out the Azera Limited equipped with the 3.8-liter engine offers more standard horsepower than the BMW 528i.
If getting the most bang for your buck is more important than the name affixed to your next car's trunk, the 2011 Hyundai Azera may be your next vehicle. It offers a spacious interior, supple ride and high-end amenities at a value price.
If you believe status symbols are worth the extra cash, the Azera's Hyundai logo won't impress like one from BMW, Mercedes or Cadillac.
For 2011, improvements to both V6 engines provide more power and better fuel economy, while a new six-speed automatic replaces last year's five-speed unit. Other minor enhancements include revised front and rear fascias, new alloy wheels and the addition of Hyundai's EZ Lane Change Assist one-touch triple turn signal stalk.
Driving Impressions The 2011 Hyundai Azera equipped with the 3.8-liter engine has the kind of remarkable acceleration that can get you going quickly and easily. When we found ourselves in a sudden...
traffic jam, the brakes were strong, sure and precise. The Azera also handled well in parking situations and was agile to maneuver. We thought the suspension, however, was a little bouncy and a somewhat harsh on broken pavement; we also feel that for a near-luxury model the cabin had a bit too much road noise. On the other hand, the visibility is excellent, engine response terrific and we like the manual-shift mode of the automatic.Value
The Hyundai Azera offers a lot of features and power for not a lot out-of-pocket expense.
Power Rear Sunshade
One very interesting and thoughtful feature on the Limited Edition is the rear sunshade that automatically rolls up when the car is in reverse gear, so you can see what's behind you.
The 2011 Hyundai Azera GLS uses a suede-like seat-surface material that could pass for the real deal and is just as soft to the touch. The Limited Edition adds plush leather seating surfaces and just the right aesthetic touches of wood trim. The cabin is comfortably cozy but has a big, open feeling. The beige interior – beige-on-beige with unexciting vinyl – is not exactly stimulating, but the soft curved shapes of the dash are easy on the eyes and the controls are simple to understand and operate. The rear seat is roomy enough for three, with a 40/60-split seatback that pulls down easily for additional storage. The trunk is huge, with enough room to accommodate a family's worth of summer vacation luggage or a couple of sets of golf clubs.
ExteriorDrawing on the increasingly sophisticated Hyundai design lines, the Azera's profile wouldn't look out of place in a line-up of more expensive Lexus or Mercedes models. The Azera has look-at-me appeal, with a squared-off rear end and wraparound bank of LED taillights that spell drama, and a front that forms into a stylish V with all lines flowing smoothly. The Azera's attention to detail can be seen in its smaller design elements, such as the LED accent lighting surrounding the front headlamps, clear lens integrated side mirror turn signals, and the tastefully restrained chrome trim on the grille and rear trunk lid. The form is classic and looks expensive.
The Azera GLS's impressive list of standard features includes a 3.3-liter DOHC V6 engine with 260 horsepower, six-speed automatic with SHIFTRONIC manual control, electronic stability control and traction control. Eight airbags, active front head restraints, LED tail and brake lamps and a six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with MP3 capability add to the mix. The Azera Limited receives a 283-horsepower 3.8-liter V6, leather-trimmed seating with heated front seats, a power sunroof, 315-watt Infinity sound system with six-disc in-dash CD changer and 10 speakers, USB/auxiliary audio inputs, power folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals, power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, wood trim on the steering wheel, a power rear sunshade and memory for the driver's seat, mirrors and steering wheel.
The GLS options list includes the Premium Package, which adds leather seating, heated front seats and a power sunroof. The Azera Limited offers the Navigation Package, which adds an Infinity 605-watt Logic 7 Surround Sound audio system combined with an LG navigation unit.
The standard 3.3-liter V6 may not be as powerful as the available 3.8-liter, but it does offer acceptable levels of performance and smoothness. If you can swing the extra cost, the all-aluminum 3.8-liter DOHC V6 engine, which delivers 283 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque, is the best choice. Both engines use Hyundai's new Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (DCVVT) and a variable intake system, which helps each cylinder to breathe more efficiently at low and high rpm. They have an alloy block and cylinder heads for light weight and overall efficiency, and is coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission, with SHIFTRONIC manual control, that includes a sixth gear for highway cruising.
3.3-liter V6
260 horsepower @ 6200 rpm
233 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4500 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/28
3.8-liter V6
283 horsepower @ 6200 rpm
263 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4500 rpm

Review this carBy Califlynn on Sunday, January 26, 2014
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 66,000
overall rating 4 of 10rating detailsPros: "Nice looking"
Cons: "See multitude of problems above"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"I love the look of my car. The interior and exterior are well appointed. It is a substantial car with lots of safety features. Those are the Pros. The following are the cons: The black paint on the side of the rear windows is actually a plastic tape. Puckered and had to be done twice. Air bag light on when no one in seat. Finally fixed after 5 visits. Factory recall on seatbelt. Timing chain leaked and car turned off. No longer under warranty-$2000. Undercarriage fell off going 70 miles an hour and dragged on the ground. Later, second piece came off. Replaced neither. Latest problem not worth fixing is related to the timing chain tensioner. My mechanic said it would take thousands to fix. Not worth it, he states."

"i purchased this car for a 2400 mile cross country trip. After doing my homework on KBB, this was my first choice. I looked at Toyota, Honda and all the American cars, but this is such a steal for 6 cylinder sedans. The car performed flawless. I ran 10 hours a day for 8 days and always felt comfortable. Easy to drive and was able to get out of the way of trucks. Unfortunately my brother took it for a drive, and now it seems to get borrowed frequently!"

"I LOVE this car. When we went to pick it up, a couple who had just purchased one told us that if we drove it, we would buy it. They were absolutely correct. My family liked this car so much that my sister bought an Azera, and my brother-in-law and niece each bought Sonatas. I would not hesitate to buy another Azera, and recommend Hyundai to anyone I know that is looking for a car. Excellent value, comfort, style and reliability for the price. Great warranty as well."

Happy New Year from Retirement Services!
This message is to bring you the latest news concerning Services Online (SOL) that will benefit you and your family.
Last summer, we introduced for the first time, the opportunity for annuitants and survivors to receive the annual notice and IRS 1099R from us using your SOL account. I'm pleased to say this has been a big success. Thousands of you signed up to receive these mailings using SOL. We are expecting even greater enrollment this year. Simply go to www.ServicesOnline.opm.gov to sign up. If you do not remember your password, instructions are provided on how to obtain another one. Remember, after 15 months of non-usage, your SOL password will expire.
Several of you have participated in our customer satisfaction survey. Overall satisfaction with SOL is eighty-seven percent with ninety-one percent of annuitants completing their transaction(s).
Retirement Services thanks you for helping to reduce our carbon footprint by reducing the number of mailings we send every year.
OPM will continue to keep your transactions on SOL secure and easy for you to access as we move toward a modern and responsive system that meets your needs now and in the future.
Just as I promised, we've added another new feature to Services Online (SOL). Now, you can see your current Federal Employees Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) coverage on line.
To view and download your FEGLI or Verification of Life Insurance you will first need to log into SOL. If you have forgotten your password or have not logged onto SOL within the last 15 months simply log in to www.ServicesOnline.opm.gov and click the "forgot password link" to request a password.
Once you log in to SOL, select the Verification of Life Insurance (FEGLI) link. Then follow the easy on screen instructions to print your FEGLI coverage information.
While you can see your coverage amount, you will not be able to see your FEGLI designation of beneficiary election. If you are not sure who you designated as your beneficiary, or you have had a significant life change, such as a marriage, divorce, or death, you may want to consider completing a new designation of beneficiary form. You should also file a new designation of beneficiary form whenever a beneficiary's address changes. Failure to do so may mean that the Office of Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance cannot locate your beneficiary and, therefore, cannot pay the life insurance death benefits due. You can download the Designation of Beneficiary form at http://www.opm.gov/Forms/pdf_fill/sf2823.pdf. If you have questions, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 1(888) 767-6738 for further assistance.
Don't forget to access SOL to opt-in to receive your information electronically. You must opt-in by December 9, 2013, to ensure prompt delivery.
For updates, reminders, information about the resources available on our website and online tools to help you manage your retirement account, follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/fedretireinfo.

Who has influence over your decisions in life? Is it you—or is someone else giving you positive or negative feedback that affects your choices and your self-image? Dr. Robin asks: Who is in your ear?
While we all need role models in life, Dr. Robin says that is very different than having someone "in your ear" who has influence over your daily life or feeds you a negative feeling of self-worth. If someone builds you up and gives you life, it is okay to keep them around, Dr. Robin says. However, if the person who has influence over you is tearing you down and diminishing your life, you need to get them out of your ear and stop listening to what they have to say, she says. "Clean your spirit out because what comes into our ear feeds down deep into your soul and into your spirit," she says. Published on July 31, 2008

AIC Women Win Rugby Northeast |
Colleges - Women's College | ||
American International College, St. Michael's College and Stonehill College women had established themselves as Rugby Northeast's frontrunners. AIC and Stonehill played each other in week one, but SMC had yet to play either of their fellow league leaders until Saturday. The league was eager to see how SMC measured up, but the result was anticlimactic as the Yellow Jackets trounced St. Michael's 44-0. Fans might have preferred a closer match and more exciting stretch to the finish line, but AIC coach Josh Macy had prepared his team for the win. "The team is feeling confident but wary," Macy said prior to the match. "St. Michael's is an unknown being way up in Burlington, VT. We know they're strong out wide and we're readying ourselves for a great game. We've won all year by playing physical and maintaining possession, and I'm certain we'll have those two advantages this weekend. In our short history, our girls have always risen to challenges well and this week is no different." Mother Nature played into AIC's hands. The snowstorm slowed down SMC's outside attack and paved the way for AIC's forward-oriented game plan (see video clip). "The conditions played into our hand as the more physical team," Macy said. "The girls maintained possession and played the ball in the first channel almost the entire game." No. 8 Jess Davis led her team with three tries, and a number of forwards stepped up to account for a couple of disciplinary player suspensions and injuries (AIC only had two subs). "These next two weeks in our league are an exhibition of conference success," Macy said. "Win and you're in the championship. It could be any of the three of us. We couldn't have made this story up if we tried." This Saturday, Stonehill College and St. Michael's College, both at 4-1, will play each other for the final berth to the RNE championship. The playoffs are only game long, and the winner moves straight to the national DII college championship in the spring. |

Why Choose a Neurosurgeon?
A Neurosurgeon is a specialist who is trained to diagnose, evaluate and perform surgery on the entire nervous system, composed of the brain, spinal cord and spinal column, as well as the nerves that travel through all parts of the body (hands, lags, arms, face).
Neurosurgeon can provide a high level of expertise. All neurosurgeons in the United States complete a six to seven year residency program. By the time physicians graduate from a neurosurgery program, they have performed hundreds of procedures. Many patients choose a neurosurgeon for the extra measure of safety then undergoing treatment.

I do a lot of drywall repairs in my business, and I get these annoying tiny bubbles as I apply joint compound. It seems to happen almost always when the joint compound is going over the surrounding area of the patch that has the wall paint on it. Someone said it was due to thinning the compound too much, but I'm not sure I agree with that since it happens with the premix compound without adding water. It also seems to happen with the setting type of compound. Unfortunately, these bubbles are hard to detect until I put primer on the patch, and they look like freckles all over the place. Can anyone help me with this? —Toolmanbrooks
It is a pretty common problem when going over paint. It's not due to thinning, it's because the water only has one way out. Patch the best you can; very light coat of primer; very tight coat of compound; then sand, prime, and paint. Only way I've been able to solve it. —tjbnwi1
Add a couple of squirts of dish-washing liquid to your compound to reduce the surface tension. —RogerP, Northwest lower Mich.
When joint compound dries, it has to be able to do two things: evaporate and be absorbed. The tiny bubbles, called "pocks," are trapped air bubbles created because there is a barrier—such as paint or primer or a harder mud, plaster, etc.—that will not let it be absorbed [into the drywall]. Thus, it has only one way to go and that is outward. When it dries from the outside in, the small amount of heat generated causes air bubbles that "pock" out of the skin. Adding dish soap or No-Pock Pro can help, but the compound may still "pock," just not as bad.
The only recourse is thinner coats with some type of air assist drying and work the bubbles out with your knife. I have in the past used a wallpaper perforator to make small holes so the moisture can be absorbed; it also helps to degloss or scuff up the area too. Thinning the mud is not better, it's actually worse because it adds more water [that has to evaporate or be absorbed].

January 2007 - Operating System Vulnerability Scorecard
Starting today, I plan on posting a monthly vulnerability scorecard for common server and workstation Operating System (OS) products. I'm going to keep these scorecards pretty clean of discussion, but you can review my methodology, sources and assumptions on this page. When folks have interesting feedback, comments or questions, I'll consider starting separate posts for discussion and those can become references for future scorecards.
For workstation OSes, the product vulnerabilities analyzed include those applying to Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2, a subset of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 WS (rhel4ws), a subset of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, and Mac OS Xv10. For server OSes, the product vulnerabilities analyzed will include those applying to Windows Server 2003, a subset of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 AS (rhel4as), and Sun Solaris 10. Note that the analysis for the Linux distributions excludes many optional packages in order to define more comparable product builds. See Methodology, Sources and Assumptions for more details.
For each of the server and workstation OSes, the charts use a stacked barchart with highest severity vulnerabilities on the bottom and lowest severity on the top. This allows an easy visual comparison if readers just want to compare just High severity, High + Medium severity, desiring to exclude lower severity vulnerabilities from comparison.
Workstation OS Vulnerability Charts
By workstation OS, I mean an operating system product that forms the basis for a computer users normal day-to-day computer-based activity, such as is comparable to Windows XP or Mac OS X, including a graphical windowing system and Internet browser, but excluding higher level applications such as Word, Excel or Powerpoint (which do not ship with Windows).
The first chart represents the total High, Medium and Low severity issues fixed for the various products over the past 3 months, ending in January 2007. Note that Windows Vista has only been available to business customers for 2 of those 3 months, having been released at the end of November. Examining the 3-month chart, we see that the Windows OS had the lowest number of total and High severity vulnerabilities fixed.
Next to get a view of 2007 year-to-date, we have a chart that just includes the vulnerabilities fixed for the products during January 2007. (In the next scorecard post, it will include January and February)
The results are largely self-explanatory, but I will note that for those that contend the Low severity issues for a product might not matter, one can exclude either the green or green and yellow portions as desired.
Server OS Vulnerability Charts
For server OSes, I am considering products that form the basis for a server in the network that would not typically be a day-to-day workstation for an individual user. This means that, where possible, it is assumed that an administrator would choose not to install optional components like the graphical windowing system, Internet browser and so on. On Windows Server 2003, those components are counted, since the user does not have an option to not install them.
Examining the 3-month chart, we see that, similar to the Workstations, the Windows platform has had to fix less total and less High severity issues than the other platforms.
Next, looking at how 2007 is starting off for Server OSes, we see similar results to the 3-month view, but without the smoothing that as time provides to cumulative totals over longer periods of time.
Vulnerability != Risk
Security professionals will correctly note that vulnerabilities represent only part of the security picture, with the risk equation also needing an understanding of the potential threats and value of the information at risk. However, number and quality of attackers are elements largely orthogonal to factors that vendors have ability to influence. Vulnerabilities, on the other hand, are a factor that vendors can influence directly by investing in process, testing and other best practice Q&A techniques to reduce bugs and raise quality of shipping products.
To put it into user terms, imagine that you are a CSO tasked with protecting some valuable company information on a company server. You assume that the information is the target and that potential attackers will attempt to attack whichever platform you select to host the information. In that case, the threat and value of the information is fixed, and the risk equation depends primarily on the vulnerability of the system you select (until you implement further mitigating actions).

A Mission High School student athlete and her coach have been selected for honors by the Texas Girls Coaches Association (TGCA). Outstanding girls track athlete Vanessa Rodriguez has been selected as a TGCA All Star. Her coach, Irene Gallegos, has been selected to be the TGCA Track and Field All Stars coach for conferences 4A and 5A.
Each year at the UIL State Track and Field Meet the Texas Girls Coaches Association (TGCA) Track Committee selects 15 girls from conferences 1A, 2A and 3A and 15 from conferences 4A and 5A as TGCA Track and Field All Stars. Selections are made from nominations submitted by member coaches with only high school seniors being eligible to be selected.
Rodriguez, who won the long jump and the 200m dash district championships this year and also placed second in the triple jump, is one of only two Valley girls to be selected as a TGCA All Star. She also placed second in the long jump, fourth in the triple jump and first in the 200m dash at the area meet, which made her a three event regional qualifier. She will be attending the TGCA Summer Clinic in Austin.
Lady Eagles' head track coach Gallegos was happy about being selected for this honor.
"I was selected by my TGCA Track Committee peers to be the TGCA Track All Star Coach at the summer clinic," explained Gallegos. "As such I was able to nominate a track assistant to help me and that will be Coach Sandra Guerrero from Sharyland.
"I am very excited about this because it gives us an opportunity to have athletes and coaches from down here in the Valley, and not just from other parts of the state, recognized," said Gallegos.
The 30 girls selected as all stars will be part of the three-day-long program aimed at helping anybody that teaches girls' sports become better coaches.
"Being that it's a clinic, the all stars will participate in demo sessions that coaches such as myself will put on," explained Gallegos. "Each coach will have a certain demo to do. My session will be on warming up, grass drills and things like that. And I will use a couple of girls, especially Vanessa, as part of my demo."
"I will be representing 4A and Sandra Guerrero will be representing 5A," added Gallegos. "She will be my assistant during my demo, but as part of the staff she will also be putting on a demo of her own to the clinic."
The track and cross country all star girls and coaches will be recognized and honored at the awards presentation ceremony during the half-time of the All Stars basketball game on Friday, July 12, at 11 a.m. at the Burger Activity Center in Austin.

In 1912, a large part of the business section of Findley Lake was wiped out by a fire which started at 2 a.m. Sunday and destroyed or seriously damaged eight of the business blocks on Main Street in the center of the village. Findley Lake was a thriving inland town on the shore of Findley Lake and this fire loss was a very serious blow to its resources and prosperity. The origin of the fire was a mystery but there were strong suspicions that it was of incendiary origin. Lost in the blaze were the W.L. Nuttall general store, William Coulthard general store, Barmore Hardware Co., Johnson Meat Market, I.O.O.F lodge, Findley Lake Grange, the old U.B. Church, William Barton restaurant and living quarters and Findley Lake Telephone Co. The Jones Harness Shop was slightly damaged.
The Republican campaign in Chautauqua County, as far as public meetings were concerned, would open Wednesday evening of this week, Oct. 9, when Surrogate Harley M. Crosby of Falconer and Elezer Green of Jamestown, a former district attorney of Chautauqua County, would address a rally in Grange hall at Ashville. The Ashville Cornet band would give a program of selections and there would also be some good singing. This rally would be the first of a series to be held during the week.
In 1937, Mr. and Mrs. Asa Westervelt, who had been the guests of the latter's uncle, Judson Morgan, had returned to their home in McCune, Kansas. Mrs. Westervelt was a native of New York state, being a daughter of Mrs. Alvira Morgan Peters and James Peters, who used to live on Ravlin Hill at French Creek, but it was Mr. Westervelt's first visit to the east. He paid high tribute to the people in the east generally because of the friendly, helpful spirit manifested in the neighborhoods where he visited. He also remarked about the beautiful complexions of the women who looked much younger than their ages. The lovely coloring of the native trees, many of which he saw for the first time, which covered the hills and valleys, was also greatly admired.
More than 20 residents of the South Stockton-Burnhams Road district were present at the hearing called at Falconer in regard to improving the seven miles of road which served the district and Pleasant Valley community. It was generally conceded that the road should be improved either as a graveled road or with black top. It was reported that such improvement would provide a much shorter road between Jamestown and Fredonia and would do away with the hills between Sinclairville and Cassadaga.
In 1987, the Greg Springer family on Smith Road in Leon was a living example that being prepared for a fire was the best preventive measure. They survived a fire that destroyed their home because they had a planned escape route. Springer told The Post-Journal he, his wife, Romona and 1-year-old son, Wesley, were saved because they had a prepared escape routine, a plan he learned as a child while living with his parents. The Springer family was in bed the night of Aug. 27 when a sudden thunderstorm sounded in the distance. Springer was awakened about midnight by a slight smell of smoke. He went downstairs, saw no fire and continued to the basement. "When I opened the cellar door it (the basement) was all in flames." He said he went upstairs to wake his wife and get their son, then 10 months old, out of the house.
A Jamestown building long considered for consolidation of Chautauqua County's spread-out offices in the city was being recommended for such a use once again. The structure was the Unigard Building at 110 E. Fourth St., unanimously recommended for the purpose in the report of the South County Office Building Task Force to County Executive John A. Glenzer. The county executive said that while thanking Jamestown insurance man Timothy B. Magnuson and his committee for a "super job," he still had a lot of questions he wanted to discuss with John R. Luensman, county planning and development director.
