Dropbox: No hacking evidence from spam investigation
The investigation into potentially leaked email addresses is ongoing
By Cameron Scott | Published: 09:05, 23 July 2012
Dropbox's ongoing investigation into a possible security breach has not produced any evidence that its systems have been infiltrated, according to an update Friday to the company's user forum.
"As of today, we've found no intrusions into our internal systems and no unauthorized activity in Dropbox accounts," said the update, posted last Friday.
The cloud storage company brought in a team of outside investigators to look into complaints that users were receiving spam at email addresses they used solely for Dropbox. Several users reported receiving the same spam messages, spurring fears that the spammers had obtained their email addresses through Dropbox.
Related Articles on Techworld
Because users sometimes store personal and professional data with cloud storage services like Dropbox, security is a serious issue.
"We've reached out to users who've reported receiving spam messages and are closely investigating those reports. Security is our top priority and we'll let you know if we uncover evidence that these email addresses came from Dropbox," a Dropbox staffer wrote.
Users on the forum indicated that they hadn't received any further spam on Friday, and several users appeared comforted by the update.
But not so for user Jan-Willem G.
"I find it rather disturbing that ... you're already almost excluding a hack after just four days of investigation, while it seems very clear that it is indeed the case that your database servers got hacked. Though it is good news that [there] has been no unauthorized activity in Dropbox accounts (yet)," he wrote.
Security investigations can be slow to yield definitive answers, the Dropbox update noted.

Helicopter company president praising pilot
The president of a helicopter company whose small chopper crash-landed on a downtown Honolulu street is praising the pilot, while the National Transportation Safety Board begins an investigation.
No one was badly hurt when the two-seater helicopter lost power and landed Wednesday afternoon. The NTSB is investigating remotely with help from local authorities and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Mauna Loa Helicopters President Benjamin Fouts says he doesn't know why the engine quit, but pilot Julia Link did a "tremendous" job. He says the company uses the aircraft for flight instruction and aerial photography.
Photographer Karl Hedberg suffered a minor cut to his head.
Fouts says he leases the 1992 helicopter from registered owner HLM Aviation Services. Fouts is part owner of HLM Aviation.

Technically we could see a white Christmas as all we need is one flake of snow to fall on Christmas day. It still hangs in the balance, as we've been flipping between a mild westerly or cold north westerly airflow and it now looks mostly likely we'll have a cold north westerly wind that'll bring a chance of snow in the north, Mainly Scotland and Northern England.
Yesterday was cloudy mild and wet and overnight we had a band of rain which will clear away as we head through the day opening the floodgates to colder weather.

Welcome to Intel Mixx Blog ..
There's a reason why the top after dinner speakers charge an arm and a leg for their time; they happen to be excellent entertainers. Whether they are 'laugh a minute' style speakers, or ones that will educate an audience on a particular subject, there's no doubt that an occasion can be transformed if you book the perfect guest.
A lot of people are under the belief that speakers have to have been in the public spotlight if they are going to be successful in the industry. While this can be true for some events, whereby companies would not dream of hiring anybody but the ultimate A-list celebrity, for smaller occasions a lot of parties will source someone that absolutely nobody in the audience has heard of.
Bearing this in mind, it's certainly possible to make a career in after dinner speaking. If this is something that interests you, take a look through our following five tips and try to implement them at your next, or even first, appointment.
Know your audience
This is unquestionably the top tip that any after dinner speaker can work from. There have been countless examples appearing in the press over the years of after dinner speakers not knowing their audience and saying something that was completely inappropriate for their crowd.
Of course, it's not just about staying within boundaries. You should thoroughly research your event long before the date, to make sure that your performance is going to be satisfactory for the audience. For example, a lot of crowds at social dinners simply want to sit back and let the laughs rolls in. For others, they might be turning up to hear everything you know on a particular subject and while a tint of humour is always welcome, make sure you keep the performance educational.
Avoid scripts
A lot of beginners like to refer to scripts, which is perfectly understandable. However, they can be the death of the after dinner speaker and make many performers too rigid. Instead, take several prompt cards and simply refer to them if you start to struggle.
Analyse the best
If you are just starting out in the industry, find an individual to model yourself on. Admittedly, all after dinner speakers should carry their own style, but at first it can be easier to analyse an expert in the field and try and mimic some of the things that he or she does. There's more information here about the best after dinner speakers in the country and it might even be advisable to find an event they are performing at and invest in watching their display.
Keep track of time
In the early stages of your career, you may want to get your performances over as quickly as possible. In fact, a lot of young speakers worry about the quantity of material in their performance, with many constantly searching for ways to beef up their speech. However, if you look back at all of the speakers you have listened to in your lifetime, you'll probably never recall a time where you thought a performance was too short. Instead, you'll probably remember all of those occasions where a speaker, no matter how successful they may have been, has simply dragged on for too long. Therefore, keep track of time – with a lot of experts suggesting that thirty minutes is more than sufficient for the typical event.
Stay off the booze
The fifth and final tip is hugely important for the success of your career. While the booze might be flowing through the event you are performing at, be the exception and don't indulge. It can hinder your performance significantly and while some will say it helps with nerves, this really should not be an excuse. If you are looking to enter the after dinner speaking industry, you should not be relying on alcohol to get you through each event and you really shouldn't touch it all – even after your session has been concluded and you are mingling with the audience.

Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today!
tjc78 JerseyPosts: 5,025I liked it as much at the end of its run as I did at the beginning.
I like the older front ends better like Lemko's. In 90 it got the composite headlights and wrap around bumpers, that take away from the classic look IMO. Of course, you could get the Chevy 350 which makes up for it a little.
1999 Chevy S10 / 2004 Merc Grand Marquis / 2012 Buick LaCrosse
I like lemko's styling better than the later ones, too, not only with the composite headlights but the wide silver section on the bottom of the sides, and the filled in rear door little window.
I always liked on Caddys, starting in '84 I think, when the side molding was entirely the same color as the car, no chrome beading, which gave you the nick protection but gave the clean look of no side molding.
Oh, the pain! I really want another old Toronado. That was such an awesome car. I had one in Colorado and I'd put 4 luggy snow tires on that thing and I literally chewed Aspen snowdrifts to pieces.
That one is a most....er...unpleasant....color, but the price is...well...negotiable.
I wouldn't care if the car got 4 mpg. This is the car that god would drive.

63 Sting ray (wait, I'm thinking that's not one of your favorites!).
You might be thinking of me. Particularly in silver, I think they look like they came right off the 'Buck Rogers' TV show! Too many fake scoops IMHO and I think the split window is dumb. But what do I know.
I have no large beef with the Stingray except it needs some finessing so that it doesn't drive like a flatbed truck. Nothing a few grand wouldn't fix.
RE: 63 Lincoln---that's a car worth saving if it's a convertible. They were troublesome cars, and the restoration wouldn't be easy, but the value of that model is only going to go up and up. It's one of those "iconic" cars you see on t-shirts and in bad automotive art shows.
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
..black 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible mouldering away under a partially removed tarp near a seedy repair shop at Algon and Oxford Avenue in a marginal neighborhood. Sad to think this forlorn car was once some successful person's pride and joy.
I've always thought that there's nothing worse than an old, beat-up luxury car. 'How far they fall', it seems. Much worse than an old, beat-up econobox.
Most of the old luxury barges have to go through the "can't afford to fix it" stage, and if they survive that, they are usually so messed up that even with a potential value of $80,000, that Lincoln is going to be a break-even proposition. As for the old luxury sedans, their current market value, even in pristine condition, is so little that there's no chance of restoration anymore.
Added to that, today's luxury cars, being mass-produced, robot-built, and grotesquely complex, don't stand a chance of survival IMO, except for the ones that are never allowed to deteriorate----the low mileage "survivors" kept in meticulous storage and used infrequently.
Somewhere around $80K--$100K market value seems to be the cut-off point for dragging old cars in horrible condition out of the weeds. I still see horrendously deteriorated "woodies" being restored, and of course, limited production foreign exotics, but for most old cars, they have to be pretty solid before anyone will take them on anymore.

I've always thought that there's nothing worse than an old, beat-up luxury car. 'How far they fall', it seems. Much worse than an old, beat-up econobox.
I remember back in the early 1990's, there was a '68 Sedan DeVille sitting, for sale outside of a local bar/pool hall. I went in to inquire about it. It belonged to a guy who worked there, and he only wanted $500 for it. He let me drive it around the parking lot, but I couldn't take it on the road because it had no tags on it.
Gotta confess, I was oddly drawn to it. It sounded nice, and seemed to run well, and from what little you could tell from parking lot speeds, seemed to drive nice. But, it was a dark primer gray, had some dents here and there, and a pretty trashy interior. I guess to me it was cool in sort of a "reverse chic" sort of way, although it also looked like something a serial killer might drive in a Lifetime Original Movie! :surprise:
Nah, this '68 wasn't quite that nice. Oh, on the subject of old luxury beaters, got my blue NYer back from the mechanic yesterday. It has a new starter, and he tweaked around with a few wires, but said he didn't want to get too involved with it, without my okay. So, I told him I'd try it out and see how it acted, and make the decision from there.
It only stalled out twice on the way home, but on the plus side, it started right back up! Drove it to work today, and it stalled once, but again, started right up. Guess the real test will be when I walk out the door this evening!
A neglected Rolls is probably tops for that, although a vintage Caddy can do it too, seeing as they were so high up at one time. For some reason, a worn neglected MB doesn't give me the exact same feelings, as I guess I assume they have a huge mileage on them, and are just used up - as the cars have a more utilitarian bent in Europe than in NA. I've seen Y2K era high end cars already starting to look a little down on their luck.
Watched part of the movie 'The Salzburg Connection', a spy 'thriller'.
Of course the most of the bad guys drove black Mercs including a fintail that was blown up, although a couple of them drove a VW 411. The 'good guy', Barry Newman, a kind of anti James Bond, rented an orange 2002 and ended up driving a 911 Targa by the end of the movie.
Well, today was about the most drama-free trim home from work in my '79 NY'er, in recent memory. Went out around 4:15 pm to start it up, and it fired right up. Almost like a new car. And I mean, a NEW new car, not a new 1979 car! :P It was idling way too fast, but at some point, it did kick down, because when I got home I was able to shut it off in "park" without it dieseling on.
Oh, and here's a pic I took of it at work, just for the heck of it. Uplanderguy will appreciate what's parked next to it!
ab348 Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, CanadaPosts: 2,379Spotted on the way to work today, on the top level of a car carrier trailer, a '76 Buick Electra 4-door hardtop. Black vinyl roof over burgundy body, chrome Buick road wheels, looked very fresh. Either heading out of town to a new owner or headed in for the same purpose. Never saw this one around here before, so maybe the latter. Unusual to see a big luxo-barge from that era being treated so gently.
2014 Cadillac ATS4 2.0T, 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Holiday Coupe
I can just picture that Buick. A barge, of course, but nicely styled. I always liked how the four-door hardtops in '75 and '76 had that extra window in the "C" pillar--most stylish IMHO on the Pontiac Bonneville, Buick Electra, Olds Ninety-Eight, and Cadillac, a little less so on lesser Chevs-Pontiacs-Buicks-Oldses.
That's an old Pontiac Montana--or maybe even the "TransSport Montana" if it's old enough.
By all accounts, the Uplander, Buick Terraza, and '05-06 Montana were sales duds, but Pontiac actually only built their revised van for two model years! Amazing.
Having had two Ventures before our Uplander, the Ventures rode softer, the Uplander did better in crash tests, and I think the Uplander, with its big tires, aluminum wheels, and revised interior, looked better, but it rode hard I think. I always wondered if the increased crashworthiness contributed to that. It was reliable and cheap to operate in the 94K miles we put on ours.
magnette London UKPosts: 1,954The 3-litre six in the MGC isn't the same engine as the one used in the Autin-Healey. Instead it was the same engine used in the Austin 3-litre (a larger RWD version of the Austin 1800) and it was not suitable for a sportscar, although I've known people with them here who have liked the C because it is more of a tourer.
MG finally got it right using the Rover 3.5 V8 (ex Buick) which was a load faster, lighter etc, but by then it was too late and it never saw any development - the engineers at British Leyland probably deserve medals for what they developed on a budget measured in pence sometimes but the bean-counters should have been charged with treason for the way they ran our car industry...(Guess which ones actually got the knighthoods - with the notable exception of the great engineer Issigonis, of course).
Hmm never heard of that, will have to look out for it. Caught part of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" last week, where the bad guys have a fintail that crashes on ice and blows up (of course).
Nothing particularly odd spotted on the road today, oldest car was a MB W123 I think.
Around our parts, I always saw a lot of '63-64 Cadillacs, which made me assume they sold better than earlier or later models, but just guessing.
The '65 Cadillac is my favorite. Love the instrument panel before a lot of crash padding needed to be added. After a few years, it seems like the separate cornering lights began to sag, though. They were integrated in '66 which took care of the problem.

From the Missouri Department of Conservation
-- Hunters with front-loading firearms shot 12,940 deer during Missouri's 11-day muzzleloader season, bringing this year's firearms deer harvest total to more than 230,000 statewide.
The muzzleloader harvest was the third-largest in the season's 23-year history, and well above the 10-year average of 11,312. Top muzzleloader harvest counties were Oregon with 277 deer killed, Macon with 268 and Franklin with 267.
Snowfall, which makes deer more visible to hunters, may have boosted this year's muzzleloader harvest, according to Lonnie Hansen, a Department of Conservation resource scientist.
"We had snow on the ground for both weekends of this year's muzzleloader season," Hansen said. "The weather during some of the season was pretty extreme, and that might actually have held down the harvest a little. Overall, though, the weather probably was a help to hunters."
The final segment of Missouri's firearms deer season was late youth portion Jan. 1 and 2. The harvest during last year's late youth hunt was 1,706.

If it's just Facebook, then it'll be claimed as a Facebook security breach and not anything related to NSA.
You would want some sort of release of data that collates Facebook accounts to traffic offenses and something to do with cellphone data.
Oh yeah, it is closer to 15 years ago. This is in 2001. ADSL wasn't common enough in New Zealand until about 2004.
I remember dial up plans that were capped at like, 150 hours of usage. So unlimited time based access isn't something I would have thought of as weird about ten years ago.
ADSL came along and it shifted from time based restriction to data cap.
I didn't even mean it that way. But it works.
I have access to unlimited amounts of petrol because I am allowed to purchase as many tanks as I need.
So really, it's cheaper to lay new than to upgrade existing.
How does it bypass that?
But how many people actually reset phone and reset data? I'd imagine a lot of people simply manually delete their photos and unhook their Internet accounts from the phone. Hardly a wipe.
It's when most of the time they are only divisible by itself (and one), and only when the number feels like it will it be divided by another number.
Hey, don't we all want flying cars?
The more cordial the buyer's secretary, the greater the odds that the competition already has the order.

I got up today, showered, threw on a black t-shirt and left the house. It's a beautiful sunny day–a little inappropriate for Friday the 13th but I'm not complaining. On my way to the caffeine store, I passed by a lot of colorfully dressed people on the street. One woman was dressed head to toe on bright bright red. It got me thinking about black.
Black is not an arbitrary color I choose for my clothes. It's not a 100% conscious decision at this point, but it's part of my uniform. Artists and musicians tend to wear a lot of black. As I was walking, I thought what if the original black wearing artists had chosen that bright red color or orange or yellow or pink instead. The world would look quite different. Imagine hundreds of Berklee kids on the streets near where I live, running around sporting pastel pink shirts. For now, though, it's still black. Happy Friday the 13th!

SPDY (pronounced "SPeeDY") is a new networking protocol whose goal is to speed up the web. It is Google's alternative to the HTTP protocol and a candidate for HTTP/2.0. SPDY augments HTTP with several speed-related features such as stream multiplexing and header compression. To use SPDY, you need a web server and a browser (like Google Chrome and upcoming versions of Firefox) that both support SPDY. mod_spdy is an open-source Apache module that adds support for the SPDY protocol to the Apache HTTPD server. This tutorial explains how to use mod_spdy with Apache2 on Ubuntu 12.04.
I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Preliminary Note
SPDY runs over HTTPS, so we need an HTTPS-enabled web site to test SPDY. Please note that SPDY will fall back to HTTPS if the user's browser does not support SPDY or if things go wrong, so installing mod_spdy doesn't hurt your existing setup.
I'm assuming that you have a working LAMP setup, as described on Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (LAMP).
For testing purposes I wil lsimply enable the default SSL web site that comes with Ubuntu's Apache package (you don't need to do this if you already have an SSL web site on your server).
To enable SSL, just run:
a2enmod ssl
To enable the default SSL web site, run:
a2ensite default-ssl
Restart Apache afterwards:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Go to the default SSL web site's URL (e.g. https://www.example.com) and test if it works (I'm using the default self-signed certificate here, that's why I have a certificate warning, but this has no effect on using SPDY):
2 Installing mod_spdy
Google provides Debian/Ubuntu packages for mod_spdy on https://developers.google.com/speed/spdy/mod_spdy/. Simply download the correct one for your architecture (32- or 64-bit) to your server...
cd /tmp
cd /tmp
... and install it as follows:
dpkg -i mod-spdy-*.deb
(This will also add the Google mod_spdy repository to the apt sources so that the module will be kept up-to-date:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mod-spdy.list
Restart Apache afterwards:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
The good thing is, mod_spdy needs no configuration, it works out of the box!
(In fact, there is a configuration file, /etc/apache2/mods-available/spdy.conf, but the default settings should be ok.
cat /etc/apache2/mods-available/spdy.conf
You can learn more about the configuration options on https://developers.google.com/speed/spdy/mod_spdy/install.
3 Testing
Now let's test if SPDY is working. We need a browser with SPDY support. e.g. Google Chrome. Open Chrome and reload your SSL web site (e.g. https://www.example.com) - it is important that you reload it so that it can use SPDY (the first time you loaded it in chapter 1 it used normal HTTPS). Afterwards, open a new tab and type in the URL
If everything went well, your SSL vhost should now be listed in the table which means SPDY support is working.
(Because of SPDY's fallback mechanism to HTTPS, your SSL vhost will still work in any other browser that does not support SPDY.)

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Can you monetize being the "worst" though? I'd argue yes… That guy who ranted "Leave Britney Alone!" seemed to do OK…

Nice term you came up with – "Car Smash Marketing" …. great analogy with the attention paid to road side car wrecks. The question here is – Was the smash an accident or done on purpose? Going by her age, and the amount of innocence per mt ton infused by her on screen it doesnt look as if she knew how bad or good this song was.
But Rebecca has certainly got the internet marketers thinking, some even pulling their hair out… How badly can you spoof yourself in order to go insanely viral?
While cleaning up my files last week I stumbled across a 1992 edition of The Economist with a feature article on the music business.
At the end of one of the articles an author states "The digital transmission of music is a passport to something. The question is, what?"
Mind-boggling to think that only 19 years ago there were no MP3s, no iPods and no clue, even from the top industry journalist what was to come in the ensuring 20 years. What surprises are we staring at right now that we don't yet see?

The problem is when you fail at being "worst" and you are only seen as "bad"
As a startup entrepreneur, I've been wondering the same thing myself… how to draw attention to oneself without being
Here are the three issues I find most troubling about noise marketing:
1) the noise has to be REALLY REALLY loud (and increasingly louder by the second)
2) putting anything on the internet or via some SNS means that it's recorded and can be accessed infinitely into the future… for something like that to follow you around like herpes, seems like there'd be some payback when you're no longer craving attention, but a positive image
3) How to take attention and connect it to your business… in other words, yes you have people's attention, but how then to get them to buy your product, or visit your site, download your app, whatever the case may be… it seems like this is at least as important as getting the attention in the first place (sort of like for CTR for web ads)
Anyway, thanks for the thought provoking post!

Spotting and Tissue Discharge
Hi everyone! I am nine weeks pregnant and two nights ago I had a small amount of spotting which only lasted for about half an hour which I am quite concerned about. I have had some spotting earlier on in the pregnancy but everything checked out fine after that (ultrasound detecting heartbeat at seven weeks and HCG levels have been progressing normally) but this was quite different. The blood was darker than previously, it included a couple of tiny blood clots and a small amount of something looking like tissue passed as well. It was not accompanied by cramping but have had a few sharper pains here and there higher in my abdomen which i attributed to my uterus stretching. Since then I have not spotted but am so scared that I have had the beginnings of a miscarriage or a possible missed miscarriage. Would love to hear thoughts on this and if anyone had something similar happen?
29th April 2011 08:14 AM #2
Hi - I am sorry you are experiencing some bleeding and know how concerning it is. It is reassuring that your bleeding has stopped now. I would certainly contact your midwife or doctor for advise. Just let them know what you've experienced - they may want to do further tests. Just so you know if you were going to miscarry typically the bleeding would increase not stop, it generally gets heavier. The bleeding is usually bright red and accompanied by cramping.

Hi can you please let me know what happened after that? I'm so scared because I'm having dark brown spotting with some tissues.....
22nd December 2014 06:35 AM #4
Dear Kelly,
I'm sorry to hear about your concerns. How many weeks pregnant are you? Dark brown spotting is usually old blood coming out of the uterus lining and this is just a normal part of pregnancy for many women. However, it is best to be on the safe side and to see your midwife or doctor. As Jane says above, a miscarriage usually involves bright red (i.e. fresh) bleeding which increases in flow and abdominal cramping.
Bleeding occurs in around 1 in 4 pregnancies and the majority of these go on to have a healthy baby. However, bleeding does always need to be checked out in pregnancy.
Thinking of you,

Album of the Day 1/24/12: William Elliot Whitmore - Field Songs
People talk all the time about artists painting a picture of a certain place or people with their songs. Few artists actually do it well and even fewer do it as well as William Elliot Whitmore.
According to his bio, William Elliot Whitmore was born somewhere along the Mississippi River and has a "an intense love and spiritual understanding of the land..." I'm going to have to fully agree with the second half of that last sentence because it really does coming soaring through his music. His newest album, Field Songs, is just that. It's eight modern day spirituals that you could imagine field hands singing to each other under a torrid summer sun or perhaps around a bonfire after the long day's work was finally completed. Whitmore successfully pulls off the magic trick that almost every roots/Americana/country/blues musician aspires to at some point in their career. During multiple points on this album he transports you to a different time and place where times are hard and money is short yet hope and love abounds. The music on this album is sparse, stark and sorrowful yet beautiful and uplifting all at the same time.
I believe it was the late, great Etta James who once said that the Blues and Country music were 'kissing cousins'. (Don't quote me on who actually said that, I could be wrong here.) Historically speaking a truer musical statement could not be made. Whitmore's music (and especially this album) is the perfect child of the marriage between acoustic Delta Blues and old school country music. The album consists solely of a man, his spectacularly soulful voice, his guitar, his banjo and his unmatched ability to tell a story. It's as much equal parts Charlie Patton and Robert Johnson as it is The Carter Family and Bill Monroe. For those not in the know this is actually Whitmore's seventh album dating back to 2003 so you have a lot of material to draw from in your musical exploration. So get to it!Copyright © 2014, Daily Press

South Africa
N Y Times Review
Winner of the Sundance Institute Audience Engagement Award
When the South African government promises to 'eradicate the slums' and begins evicting
shack dwellers from their homes, three friends who live in Durban's vast shantytowns
refuse to be moved. DEAR MANDELA follows their journey from their shacks to the highest
court in the land as they invoke Nelson Mandela's example and become leaders in an
inspiring social movement.
Mazwi, an enlightened schoolboy; Zama, an AIDS orphan and Mnikelo, a mischievous
shopkeeper are part of a new generation who feel betrayed by the broken promises of
Mandela's own political party, the African National Congress. Determined to stop the
evictions, they met with their communities by candlelight and discovered that the new
innocuous-sounding 'Slums Act' legalized the evictions and violated the rights enshrined in
the country's landmark Constitution. With the help of pro bono lawyers, they challenged
the Slums Act all the way to the hallowed Constitutional Court.
The extraordinary achievements of the shack dwellers did not come without a price. As the
beloved Mandela's portrait beams down from schoolroom chalkboards and shack walls,
Mazwi, Zama and Mnikelo learn of the sacrifices that come with leadership. Shack
demolitions, assassination attempts and government repression test their resolve to
continue. By turns devastating, inspiring and funny, DEAR MANDELA offers a new
perspective on the role that young people can play in political change and is a fascinating
portrait of South Africa coming of age.

USCIS Field Office, Orlando, Florida
Army Private First Class Silvestre Santana Herrera - World War II
Silvestre Santana Herrera was born in Mexico, and entered the United States as a child after his parents were killed in an accident. Raised by an uncle he always thought was his father, Herrera did not learn his true nationality until the day he received his draft notice. Despite the fact that he was a Mexican national, Herrera answered the draft to service, and studied to become an American citizen while fighting in Europe. One year after his action, Mexico awarded Herrera the Premier Merito Militar, making his the only person in history ever awarded the highest medals for valor of both the United States and Mexico.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

text: Kimberly is fun to be around, so easy to joke with, and constantly makes me laugh. Lucky for me, she was one of my closest friends in middle school and made those sometimes awkward years a little bit more enjoyable. We drifted in our later years and reunited at her engagements after maybe 8 years of not seeing each other? Doesn't even seem possible with how easy it was to pick back up. One thing that my job does is allow me to become friends, real friends, with my clients. I'm so happy that in this case, it brought an old friend back to me. And I'm extra happy because as soon as I met Kimberly's fiance, Clark, I immediately felt like I won the friend jackpot. I absolutely can't wait to celebrate them at their January wedding and maybe, just maybe, do some wobbling on the dance floor.

Before Night Falls
You're going out. To something special. Here's how to wear a tuxedo. Or maybe it's a dark suit. Or even something in between.

An accountant sits at his computer, feverishly entering in data from numerous sources.
He checks his company's income versus its expenses, and tallies expected utility costs. He figures in advertising money and revenue from sales. And at the end of the day success is finally measured in his company's ability to pay back its loan.
Not the scenario one would expect of a group of 65 elementary and middle school students, but this is just a sample of a typical day at Experiencia's Exchange City.
Exchange City is a hands-on learning program that combines eight weeks of classroom curriculum with an interactive government and free enterprise component. Students learn and apply math, civics, social studies, language arts and technology in real-life roles as citizens of a miniature city.
At the heart of every Exchange City is a bank — except in Michigan. Thanks to credit union sponsorships, students here do all their Exchange City financial transactions at a credit union. "Everyone involved in credit unions in Michigan should be thrilled that Michigan credit unions sponsor Exchange City CU," said Taylor Community CU (DR) President/CEO Phillip Matos.
"For the price of that annual sponsorship, public and private school teachers throughout Southeast Michigan teach thousands of children annually that credit unions are the place to save and borrow, both for their personal and future business needs. Ten to 15 years from now, the thousands of young adults who are now receiving the credit union message through Exchange City will be knocking on credit union doors for financial services."
In addition to the credit union, Exchange City contains a broadcast studio, a sign shop, city hall, post office, various retail outlets, a distribution center and a snack bar.
Students fill a range of roles within the shops of Exchange City and operate their enterprises according to the business model that each group of students design.
"The students, or 'citizens,' decide pretty much everything when it comes to running their shops," said Southeast Michigan Executive Director Marilyn Opdyke. "They set prices for their goods or service, decide how to sell them and how much to spend on advertising. They must anticipate variables such as utilities, taxes — the whole works. One of the primary measures of success for a shop is paying back its loan to the credit union.
"Each shop has an accountant who tracks expenses and earnings, and little by little they write checks to the credit union to pay off that loan."
Herlong Academy student Danielle Smart, who served as Exchange City CU president, learned a lot about how credit unions function during her visit to Exchange City. "I wanted to be credit union president because it's a job with some authority," she said. "It was hard work, but I knew I could do it because I'm good at math and good with computers. So far, I've recorded all of the loans and have taken payments. It's hard to finish my work while people are coming in to make their loan payments."
Fifth grader Rachel Smart was the accountant for the broadcast shop, which was the first business to completely pay back its loan. "It was important to us to pay back our loan," she said. "All of our money came in from our advertising and I feel we did a good job."
The Exchange City experience, combined with more than 40 hours of classroom course work, is beginning to show remarkable results in Michigan. According to a 2005 University of Missouri study of 352 fifth graders from six Taylor elementary schools, financial literacy and civic concept mean scores of students who completed the Exchange City course improved 51 percent.
Students were tested on their understanding of several financial concepts, including taxes, opportunity costs, supply and demand, personal finance, check writing and business economics.
In addition to Exchange City, Experiencia facilitates EarthWorks, a simulated environment that portrays North American habitats for third and fourth graders and several summer camp programs.
There are plenty of opportunities for credit unions to participate in Exchange City. "The credit unions have been wonderful providing volunteers to assist in the Exchange City CU and with their sponsorship," said Opdyke.

FALLS VILLAGE — The Board of Selectmen agreed an upgrading of local cemeteries would be a good idea.
Sextant Kent Allyn, who took over the job formerly held by the late Peter Lawson, came before members Monday to say he'd done a physical assessment of the plots in the seven cemeteries as best he could and found a need to repair many stones.
