What's the best way to protect wildlife?
Updated: 2014-08-13 10:19
By Zhu Ping (China Daily)
Killing animals for animals' good. Not many will buy the explanation given by Nature Conservancy to defend Chinese e-commerce tycoon Jack Ma's hunting spree in Britain. Ma, who is also a director on the board of the animal protection group, hunted 11 stags in Britain two years ago. In a recent report on Chinese nouveaux riches, The Sunday Times describes their newfound "wild" hobbies and says that Ma and his 11 traveling companies spent £36,000 pounds to rent a castle and hire a helicopter for their hunting trip.
The hunting story has all the elements of an extravagant potboiler. It describes the naked display of wealth by China's nouveaux riches both at home and abroad, their luxurious lifestyle that is in sharp contrast to the poverty that many people live in, the pleasure they derive from "slaughtering" innocent wild animals and the bad reputation they have earned.
Ma has admitted on his online page that the trip was "quite expensive" but insists that he did so for "environmental protection".
It's lot easier for people to lambast rich people taking part in even controlled hunting than to agree on the best way to protect wildlife. Ma's case once again brought to the fore the controversy surrounding hunting.
These are not the times of hunter-gatherers; very few people across the world hunt for food and fur. By the 19th century hunting had become a fun sport and led to the slaughtering of millions of animals and birds, from Africa and Asia to the New World. And although hunting may become more of a fun sport, it remains controversial. In fact, some animal rights activists believe modern-day hunting is nothing but killing.
But some researchers consider regulated hunting an efficient way of managing wildlife populations, saying it could facilitate the recovery of the ecosystem and help the growth in the numbers of wild animals. Legal hunting, which they say is easier to be regulated, could curb poaching that could affect the sex, birth and mortality rates of wildlife populations.

Control MS Project Sub-Tasks Printing While Project Data Rendering in Java Apps
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
The new version of Aspose.Tasks for Java API renders the sub-tasks to output only if the parent summary task is in expanded form inside Java Apps same like Microsoft Project.
Lane Cove, NSW, Australia., June 10, 2014 - (PressReleasePoint) -
The new version of Aspose.Tasks for Java v6.7.0 has been released. This release provides users with the capability to render sub-tasks based on the parent summary task. The last version of Aspose.Tasks for Java 6.6.0 had the capability to read the "IsExpanded" property of a Summary task but this information was never used to determine the rendering of sub-tasks to output when rendering Project document in Java. Microsoft Project, however, retains the information available in this property and renders the sub-tasks only when the parent task is in expanded form.
With this release, Aspose.Tasks Java API now takes into account this information and renders the sub-tasks to output only if the parent summary task is in expanded form. If the IsExpanded property is set to true, the sub-tasks will be rendered to output and vice versa.
This release also fixes a number of issues that were found and reported with the previous version of Aspose.Tasks. These include issues related to wrong split task count reading, project's calendar reading and Work Type resources. This further aids to the value of the API and brings improvement to the overall functionality. Below is the complete list of new features and important bug fixes included in this release.
- Provide the facility to print expanded/non-expanded summaries only
- Task.Calendar returns ParentProject.Calendar when must be null is now fixed
- Non Work Type resources cause task duration to ZERO is now fixed
- Wrong SplitTask count is read is now fixed
- Read view data from mpp 2013, 2010, 2007 and 2003
- Read specific gantt chart view data for 2003 file format.
Newly added documentation pages and articles
Some new tips and articles have now been added into Aspose.Tasks for Java documentation that may guide user briefly how to use Aspose.Tasks for performing different tasks like the followings.
Overview: Aspose.Tasks for Java
Aspose.Tasks is a non-graphical Java Project management component that enables Java applications to read, write & manage Project documents without utilizing MS Project. It supports reading MS Project Template (MPT) files as well as allows exporting project data to HTML, BMP, PNG, JPEG, PDF, TIFF, XPS, XAML and SVG formats. It reads & writes MS Project documents in both MPP & XML formats. Developers can read & change tasks, recurring tasks, resources, resource assignments, relations & calendars.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says the long-delayed Fulton Street Transit Center is now solidly on track, and gave NY1 an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at some key completed steps. NY1's Transit reporter John Mancini filed the following report.
Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials gave NY1 an exclusive tour of the Fulton Street Transit Center, the massive project that has proceeded in fits and starts since it was first conceived after the September 11th terrorist attacks.
On Tuesday, the MTA marked what its engineers called an important milestone in the $1.4 billion project to link five subway stations to the new PATH station, the World Trade Center and the World Financial Center.
The agency's officials announced the completion of both the underpinning for the historic Corbin Building and the foundation of the main transit center building, and said the hub is right on track to open by June 2014.
"Certainly businesses in and around the area, the growing residential population, everything kind of converges at Fulton Street. So having a brand new transit center connecting 10 different train lines there is really important," said Downtown Alliance Senior Vice President Nicole LaRusso.
Designed to untangle confusing underground connections for 300,000 daily riders, it will be topped by a 120-feet-tall glass structure, allowing light to reach riders 40 feet below street level.
"You're able to see behind me, in effect, all of the buildings surrounding us, the church. When this building will be completed, you will experience the same thing, because everything around us will be glass," said MTA Capital Construction President Michael Horodniceanu.
MTA officials say despite their ongoing budget crisis, these dark and painful days are the right time to build for the future.
"This is probably the first time in maybe 80 years that we are really engaged in such major projects. Quite frankly, although people think that they are not at the right time, actually they're at the perfect time," said Horodniceanu. "Because they provide employment for thousands and thousands of people at a time we can do it, at a lesser cost because there is more competition."
Also, more than 90 percent of the project's funding is coming from Washington, D.C.

When most writers want to write about discrimination and oppression, they stick to real-world examples — after all, there are plenty of those. Some writers, however, wonder: "What if it were the other way round?" What if Africans had enslaved Europeans? What if India had colonized England? What if women had all the power and men had to stay in the kitchen? And so on and so forth. There may be a semi-plausible Alternate History explanation for the switch, but just as often it simply is that way. Often this is not just an interesting what-if, but a way of making a point, saying to the privileged group "well, how would you like it if...?" This tends to be Anvilicious, though not always in a bad way. The message may also be that power corrupts, and no matter who's on top, things will always suck for the group on the bottom. On the other hand, in certain cases the barbarism of the now-powerful group can be played up too much and the whole thing can seem as though it came out of some dislike or distrust of the group in question ("Look how much worse things would be if they were in charge"). Or, alternatively, the work may be disparaging towards the now-oppressed group (which is usually an Acceptable Target due to being in power in the real world), and suggest that they deserve to be treated badly.

Stryker Down!!
Me and the flying buddy were at a field. I had the stryker doing some lazy back and forths at a pretty good altitude, and then it happened. It took an uncommanded roll to the left as I was flying it from my left to right, full right stick would not bring it back to level. Throttled it to off to slow it down and she just kept rolling left, then it pitched over and spiraled in from around 400 feet. By this time it was over the neighborhood and I could only watch it head straight down in a roll.
I called out to my buddy that I have little or no control. Hands off the sticks at this point. It just kept rolling. We went looking for it, and all the while I am thinking the worse. Not for the Stryker, but what I may have hit when it went in. We couldn't follow its path for the last 30 to 40 feet when it went behind some trees. So we did the walk of doom to go look for it. Went two blocks away and saw a crowd standing around. Well my first thoughts was that I was going to be hung, drawn and quartered by an angry mob due to hitting someone or something like a window, car, etc. God help me if I would have hit someone.
Well when they saw me and the buddy walk into the culde sac, they were friendly and sad for me. It hit smack dab in the middle of the culde sac, hitting nothing but black top. THANK GOD!!!!.
One of the guys saw that I was shaking, since I really had no ideal what may have happened when she hit. So he saw that I was shaking slightly, and went into his house and brought me back a beer. We stood around and talked a little. Man I dodged a serious bullet there. They were all really nice.
Post crash analysis, and discussion leads us to think that either I was shot down from another park flyer in one of the neighborhoods, or that I had a stripped tooth in one of the S75 servo's since it started to roll and could not command it out of the roll. After collecting the pieces, one servo is fine, the other has a stripped gear. The servo may have failed in the air and locked one of the elevons.
So the airframe, the motor mount, one servo, and the common sense 2100mAh lipo is toast. The pushrods, the brushless motor, one servo, the front landing skid and the Berg 4 receiver were fine. I salvaged the carbon fiber rods to reutilize them in a new build I'll start this weekend. Well at least I have 9 other planes to fly, including the maiden of the Hyperion Cap 232 25e that will happen this weekend.
Sucks when you loose a plane. Its been many years since I've had a catastrophic crash. The last one was a Gentle Lady that after at least 100 hi start launches, the wings folded up after I le it go and for the majority of the hi start lauch was pulling a wingless fuselage. It was a funny site.;

Havoc, should of bought a DX6. But hey serously sorry for your loss. I had the same thing happin but my dad was flying.
|May 24, 2007, 10:15 AM
Well we have pretty much come to the conclusion that I must have had a stripped servo that locked an aileron in an up position. It was just after a dive of several hundred feet followed by a sharp pullout. Thats when the plane started to roll on its own and went into the spiral of death.
So tomorrow I'm getting a new stryker body kit and then going to go with some stronger servos with either karb or metal gears.
Thanks for the kind words.

Ok, WD-40 is out of the picture. haha
|May 25, 2007, 03:21 PM
(Water Displacement formula number 40, or WD-40)
I probably put more in than I should. I pull the shaft and backwash the bearing from the inside out, which cleans and lubricates.
I am sure that is WRONG by the book, but I am yet to regret it.

Oil of esther?
Hey, I am always looking for something better. Can you eleborate?
I have debated oil of esther, but never used it in an open system like this.
|May 25, 2007, 11:31 PM
I notice when my plane runs slow a couple drops of oil does the trick...I just use 3-in-1 oil and it works fine for me...Today was a totally calm day and it was just before dark so I thought id go out flying...Im flying around and see that I have a minute left before it was gonna cut off so I took it up real high...it was up perty high but still visible and then the battery cut off...to my amazment it didnt come down...I was flying up there for about 10-15 minutes with no motor and could have stayed longer but I was worried the battery would go dead and id lose control...Probably never happen again but next time Im out flying (with full charge) Im gonna look for them thermals/updrafts and see how long I can keep it up there...

dx6 "parkflyer" range?
Has anyone flying a Stryker with a dx6 ever had problems with limited range? Isn't 1/2 a mile the limit for most FM radios anyway?
I do tend to take my Stryker to a panoramic slope and really let it get out there and I don't have an intuitive idea of how far out it is, but I doubt it's over 1/2 mile...

Maidened the Stryker (finally)
Finally had some time off for this holiday weekend, and (for once) the weather cooperated. I like to maiden new planes in dead calm weather so that I can easily trim the plane during flight. There were NO winds at all today in my flight area, not even the slightest breeze. I posted some photos/specs of my F-27 Stryker a few pages back in this thread, but I'll reiterate the specs anyway...
* Mega 16/25/4 long can motor
* HS-65HB servos
* 4S 2200mAh LiPo
* 7x7 Graupner speed prop
F-27B - all stock airframe parts used
I'll start off by stating that the Stryker launches with ease. Quick comparison - every time I loft my FunJet into the air, I get nervous for a few seconds because the thing has a tendency to torque roll immediately. The Stryker goes into the air very smoothly, no noticeable torque roll or wobble from a typical hand launch. With that Mega 16/25/4 and a 4S LiPo, the F-27 Stryker screams across the sky at ballistic speeds. The Mega 16/25/4 provides ~50 oz. of thrust when equipped with a 7x7 Graupner speed, propelling the 27 oz. airframe through the sky at incredible speeds.
I had to add several clicks of down trim because the Stryker (thanks to its delta wing characteristics) definitely had a tendency to nose-up when I punched the throttle. The best way to trim the Stryker is to compromise - you don't want too much down trim, because you'll nose down during docile flight. I am considering mixing throttle with a little down elevator, but I'm fine with handling it manually for now. After a few clicks of down trim, it was flying nice and level, perfect hands-off gliding as well.
I'll post some video some time in the next week. I am interested in getting a Doppler reading - on some of the low-altitude passes I did today, I would estimate the Stryker traveling at ~80-90mph, but want to confirm that. The 4S 2200mAh LiPo still had juice after more than 12 minutes of high-throttle flight, although I did limit WOT to short 5-10 second bursts.
Bottom line - the Stryker is incredibly easy to fly, and I believe the Mega 16/25/4 is a good motor, especially if you're looking for power. I could certainly tell that the Stryker wasn't intended to be pushed this far (due to its nosing-up tendencies), but it's a load of fun and impressive to watch at high speeds.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — What looked like a rout soon turned into another Kansas-Texas classic.
And in the end, the Jayhawks walked away with another hard-fought win over the Longhorns.
Jeff Withey made a layup and free throw with 37 seconds to play and Thomas Robinson added a free throw with 8 seconds left, giving No. 7 Kansas a 69-66 win Saturday after Texas rallied from a big early deficit.
Texas had a last chance to force overtime, but J'Covan Brown's 3-pointer with 2 seconds to play bounced off the rim. Brown led Texas with 24 points.

I am just trying to develop a PHP script to export a list of zones from DNS. Using the API I can get lists for a particular client, but I am not sure how to get a list of all zones from ISPConfig. Is there a function to accomplish this? Or even a function to get a list of all client ID's so I could then in turn pass that off to the dns_zone_get_by_user() function?
I want to import these zones to my vps providers DNS servers as a slave zone using their API so when clients add zones their slaves are added automatically.

Goldfarb Branham Law Firm LLP Investigates Shareholder Claims Against Lincoln Educational Services Corporation
Goldfarb Branham LLP is investigating Lincoln Educational Services Corp. (NASDAQ: LINC) due to allegations that the company improperly inflated its financial results by manipulative recruiting tactics. Concerned investors should contact Hamilton Lindley at 877-583-2855 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The complaint alleges that despite extensive positive statements by defendants in press releases and SEC filings, those statements were false because: (1) defendants had propped up the Company's results by fraudulently inducing students to enroll in Lincoln's scholastic and educational programs and engaged in other manipulative recruiting tactics; (2) defendants had materially overstated the Company's growth prospects by failing to properly disclose that defendants had engaged in illicit and improper recruiting activities, which also had the effect of artificially inflating the Company's reported results and future growth prospects; and (3) Lincoln did not maintain adequate systems of internal operational or financial controls, which would have permitted Lincoln's reported operational statements and foreseeable growth prospects to be true, accurate or reliable. Following these disclosures, shares of the Company collapsed -- falling over $4.30, or 20% in a single trading day, on unusually high trading volume.
If you own Lincoln Educational Services common stock and would like more information regarding your rights as a shareholder, please call the firm at 877-583-2855 or
firstname.lastname@example.com. Goldfarb Branham LLP provides nimble, creative and aggressive representation of its clients. The firm has represented shareholders in securities litigation across the country.

'IB'- Chapter SeventeenChapter SeventeenDib's eyes widened in shock at the split second where Zim's old self had just flashed across his face. His jaw gaped as those words rung mercilessly through his head, and he could honestly admit to himself that those words were sincere. It was then that he had the sudden desire to help the suffering Irken rather than fight him and try to rid himself of him for good. A moment later, the boy grabbed hold of the Irken's arms and pulled him towards his chest before standing. "I'll… try, Zim.." He whispered before running downstairs and screaming at the computer. "Help me fix him!! There has to be some way to stop this!""Are you crazy??" The computer questioned. "That thing is vicious!!" It cautioned him, as if the boy wasn't already aware. Zim was already screeching and gurgling again from being restrained, thrashing back and forth in his arms.Dib bit his lip, clutching the alien tighter as if trying to keep h
'IB' - Chapter EightChapter EightDib's hurried pace soon slowed to a steady walk as he got closer to Zim's base. He delayed getting there as he was both afraid and nervous of what he may find here. He actually started to second guess if this was the best thing to do, but he arrived before he knew it. Once it were visible across the road from him, Dib stopped and stared at it for a short time. He drew in a deep breath, whispering unsure words of encouragement before starting closer towards it.Zim's base looked pretty similar on the outside, except for where his gnomes keeping his house protected had been destroyed. Though, it did seem to have an eerie aura around it which was something that hadn't been present in the past.Dib had made it to the front door now, staring upon it as if there were something fairly interesting about it. In reality, he was just preparing himself for what he was sure would be a quite shocking sight. Finally, he pushed the door open and flicked on the lights wi
'IB' - Chapter TwelveChapter TwelveDib remained in an almost trance-like state for a few moments as he recalled a few memories of Zim. He took another deep breath before speaking again in a quiet tone. "Zim... He was pretty interesting.""Yes? What is his personality like?" The doctor questioned, beginning to write again at the others decision to elaborate more on the subject.Dib slowly looked back to the doctor, shifting in his seat as he considered the question. "Well, he was loud and obnoxious and would often insult the human race whenever he had the chance to. But, he was very proud of his race and his leaders. He made every attempt to take over Earth even if he failed every time. But I liked that about him..." Dib's voice trailed off some as his gaze lowered. "I admired that about him actually.."Dr.Gaul hummed and nodded his head a bit. "Well, I can only chalk this up as more schizophrenia from how you say this. You seem very fond of this little delusion as
'IB' Chapter 16Chapter SixteenDib bit down firmly on his lip before shakily stepping forward and pulling him slowly up the creaky stairs. Since it was dark, he squinted his eyes in an attempt to see a bit clearer in the small amount of light that he had. As he slowly made his way up the stairs, whispering the Irken's name in an attempt to draw him out from his hiding place. In a situation such as this, Dib preferred to know where Zim was rather than him be out of sight with the possibility of a surprise attack.After a minute of crawling painfully slow up the stairs, he finally made it to the top with the sight of the illuminated room at the end of the hallway; the same room his sister's decomposing body lay on the metal table.That light was still on, but there weren't any sounds. Either the Irken was being especially quiet, or he wasn't there at all.Dib's feet were planted deeply where he stood, hesitating to go any closer to the room. Memories and dreadful images of what l
'IB' - Chapter FifteenChapter FifteenAfter hours of seemingly endless play, Dib and his small puppy finally fell asleep on the living room floor only to be awoken by the sun only a couple hours later. Dib groaned in annoyance as the rays shone in through the window, reaching for a blanket next to him to place over his face. Einstein stretched a bit with a yawn as he curled up under his neck where it was warmer. It seemed like nothing could disturb the two.Dib lay silently now and enjoyed the peaceful moment, his mind almost completely clear of thought for the first time in quite a while. However, the thought of Zim still managed to creep its way into his mind, for he began to wonder where the alien was or what exactly he was doing since there hadn't been a trace of him in a couple days. The thought was short lived though as he managed to push the thought aside and focus again on his small friend. Even though the small dog was a lot of work, he had no regrets in bringing him home; he pr
'IB' - Chapter SixChapter SixResolve came in the form of first sunlight beaming through the shattered hole that was at one point a window. It immediately melted away the shadows and extinguished the coolness that the night had brought. Everything was completely visible now and revealed to the paranoid human.However, even after the sun had come up, Dib took a while to convince himself that there wasn't actually anything there, and that it had all just been a crazy delusion in his head. After several more minutes of watching everything around him, he had finally convinced himself that he was alone now, which actually relaxed him and made him realize how tired he actually was. It was too late to try and sleep now though since he had to get ready for another dreadful day of school.He didn't try too hard, though, as he decided to stay in the bloodied and torn cloths from the night before and only ran his hands over his hair in an attempt to smooth it out. He was far too tired and stressed to be concerned
'IB' - Chapter FourChapter FourSoon all of Zim's tremors just seemed to halt. He pulled himself back up onto all fours, extending his head up with his neck still cocked at an awkward angle so he could see Dib's face. He parted his lips into the grin again, beginning to screech out in a single laughter with that eerie 'e' sound again.The sight of that haunting grin seemed to paralyze the boy as he slowly let himself down to the floor, wrapping himself in a fetal position as he rocked himself very stiffly as if to comfort himself. Violent shivers also shook him as the cackle rung in his ears as they only intensified the dread he was already feeling.Zim slowly began to drag himself over to him, seeing him as wounded prey now. His limbs still had trouble taking turns, looking even more like a creature in dire need of an exorcism.Dib's eyes expanded as the other drew closer to him. He didn't blink now since in his mind, blinking only made him made him more vulnerable than he already was, even though he wo
'IB' - Chapter ThirteenChapter ThirteenMorning came early for the traumatized boy, his alarm blaring loudly in his ear that morning. It was another school day, but would he dare even risk it? The answer was an obvious no as he slammed the top of his blaring alarm with a tight fist, then covered himself back in his blankets. After lying there for several minutes to think over his situation, he considered that maybe some human interaction would help clear his mind... Maybe someone would finally talk to him.That was a shot in the dark though when it was really considered. What would make today any different from the others to the point someone would speak to him? Especially now that word was getting around that Dib was falling deeper into a psychosis that left him dangerous to others.He made his final decision to skip again today. In fact, he was even considering the possibility of not going anymore all together. It wasn't doing him any good anyway and with his current being; he was in no mood for peop

Recommendations on a 22 - 26 ft weekender?
With regards to your questions about Grampians the answer very much depends on the model. The Grampian Classic 22 and the Grampian Classic 31''s were very nice boats. The Classic 22 was a very nice, light weight daysailor/overnighter designed by C&C. I actually owned one and really thought these were fun boats to sail. They were reasonably well built and fairly inexpensive but not particularly "heavy or comfortable". The Classic 31''s were heavier more traditional VanDyne designs and were also very nice boats. They come up for sail at pretty reasonable prices from time to time.
At some point in the late 1960''s Grampian totally retooled its line coming out with the Grampian 23, 26 and 30. These were not very good boats and I would say that with the posible exception of being inexpensive they would not meet any of your desired criteria,"Heavy, well built, comfortable, inexpensive, and fun to sail". They were pretty much value oriented boats with mediocre designs and pretty shoddy workmanship.

Two fairly simple steps you must take to protect yourself from a dangerous computer attack called pharming: Internet ScamBusters #274
Today we tell you about an Internet security threat you probably
know nothing about — and we recommend you take two actions
that are very important to protect yourself.
By now you know about phishing. However, you probably haven't
heard about pharming, a cunning, fairly new way of directing
you to spoof sites or even of taking control of your PC in a
way that can't be spotted or stopped by Internet security
We'll explain the two key ways in which pharming works, and
what you can do to beat them — including what you must do to
protect yourself if you have a home network.
Before we begin, you may want to spend a moment looking at this
week's most popular articles from our other sites:

things to keep in mind.

worst… just in case.
Now, here we go…
Pharming: How You Can Avoid This Growing Threat
First we had phishing, now we've got pharming — a newer
buzzword in Internet scams and a computer attack threat that's
especially dangerous for people who use home networks.
Why? Because even the best anti-virus software and firewalls
can't detect or stop pharming once it hits your system.
Phishing vs. Pharming
Let's start by explaining the difference between phishing and
"Phishing" is when you get what seems to be a legit email
inviting you to click a link that takes you to a website that
also looks genuine. In fact, it's a spoof, set up to look like
your bank or PayPal or some other site you trust, that asks you
to key in your user name, password or other important
information. Then they've got you; you're hooked and ready to
reel in!
ScamBusters subscribers already know never to click these types
of links. Instead, you should open your browser and navigate to
the website from there.
If you're not familiar with phishing, you can read more about it
at Phishing Scams:
How You Can Protect Yourself.
But here's the killer…
"Pharming" happens when you actually do key the correct address
into your browser and still go to a spoof site. Now, that is scary.
How does it happen? It's all down to the way the Internet
When you type a website address into your browser — let's say
www.scambusters.org — the browser, via the Internet, contacts
an international computer directory (DNS) server that looks up
this name and converts it to a sequence of numbers, which is
actually its real Web address.
It's like when you make a phone call. If you want to call Mrs.
Doe, knowing her name is not enough. You need to look up her
number in a directory and then key that in. It's the same with
the Internet — but instead of a phone number your browser
needs this special sequence of numbers for the site you want.
This special sequence is called an Internet Protocol (or IP)
address and every website and computer has an IP address, even
yours, that uniquely identifies it on the Internet, just as
your phone number uniquely identifies you.
Incidentally, you can find your current IP address by visiting
href="http://www.whatismyip.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Find My IP Address
The First Type of Pharming
Awhile back, hackers and scammers found a way of breaking into
and altering the directory servers so that when your browser
asked for the IP address of a site you wanted to visit, the
server gave the wrong number and directed you to a spoof site
that, of course, looked like the real thing.
The possible harvesting of vast amounts of information this way
from unsuspecting victims earned its name — pharming.
Fortunately, it's never happened on a huge scale because of
security being tightened on the address directory servers
But this kind of pharming threat remains and, for now, the
simple way to avoid it is to follow a rule we've given here
many times before: Look for a security sign on any website
where you're being asked to provide sensitive or confidential
information. This will be signaled by a letter "s" as in "https" in
the address box of your browser and/or a padlock icon.
Pharming scammers don't spoof the security setting. If they try
to, by inserting a phony "s" or a padlock, you'll get a warning
that the site may not be what it appears to be. If you get this
warning, don't click "Continue"! (The site could well be
legitimate with this warning since sometimes legitimate sites
aren't configured properly, but you need to be EXTRA careful.)
Perhaps the best recommendation we can make on dealing with
this aspect of pharming is to use OpenDNS for your computer and
router. We've been using them since they started.
What is OpenDNS? Among other things, OpenDNS is a powerful
tool for combatting phishing and pharming. It works by
providing a safer and faster DNS service, providing an
alternate to your ISP's DNS service.
maintains a current list of malicious sites, and blocks access to
these sites when you try to access them through their service.
The Second Type of Pharming
Unfortunately, that's not the end of the story. There's another
more deadly form of pharming that's starting to show up.
Instead of attacking the IP address of directory servers, the
hackers have found a way to invade home and small business
networks and do their pharming there.
It works something like this: You visit a shady website — of
course you may not know it's shady but then you also know that
there are some that definitely are!
The website, set up for pharming, reads the IP address of your
network, which is publicly visible, and from that can quickly
guess what the specific IP identity of your network router is.
Then it guesses the router's name and password, logs on and
reprograms it. That's an awful lot of guessing but, sadly, many
home network users make it easy for pharming criminals by
leaving the network name and password unchanged from when the
router was made.
For example: how many users have a network that is called
something like Linksys or Dlink, the same as the brand of
router they're using? Quite a lot, in our experience. And if
they haven't changed the name of the network, chances are they
haven't changed the password either.
Let's guess — it's "admin" isn't it?
You don't see a thing happening. When the rogue page you've
summoned pops up on your screen, it starts to run an invisible
program to unlock your router.
Then, you're in trouble. Your Internet security software can't
spot what it's doing — it's not a virus. And it's too late for
your firewall to stop it — you requested the page right under
its nose!
This means that the pharming criminal can control your
computer, turn it into a "zombie," install a key logger or
redirect you to a spoof website when you key in a legit
You've basically given him the key to your network door.
Actually, a hacker can even sit in a car outside your house and
log on to an unprotected wireless network, again using the
default name and password, and take control that way.
Below we give you specific actions you can and should take.
So, the message is clear: If you have a home or small business
network that uses a default name and password, you should
return the device to its original factory settings and then
change the name and password when you set it up again.
If you don't know how to do this, there'll be an explanation in
your router manual. And if you can't find that, visit the
router manufacturer's website and find out how to do it.
In addition, here are some useful articles on changing your
router password.
Ask Leo's: href="http://ask-leo.com/change_your_password_no_not_that_one.html"
target="_blank">Change Your Password – No, not that one…
For Linksys:

For DLink:

That way, you'll shut out the pharming community, so you can
"graze" the Internet in peace!

Judo champ takes life over Olympics
A Russian judo official says a four-time European judo champion who committed suicide had been depressed since failing to win a medal at last year's London Olympics.
TRAGIC SPORTS DEATHSRemembering the many athletes sports lost way too soon.
Authorities said Elena Ivashchenko died on Saturday at age 28 after jumping off the balcony of a 15th-floor apartment in the Siberian city of Tyumen.
The director of a Tyumen judo center, Vyacheslav Yurlov, told the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti that her depression had started after she was eliminated in the quarterfinals at the London Games.
Yurlov also said Ivashchenko needed several operations to treat a leg injury and had another one scheduled.
Ivashchenko won gold at the European Judo Championships in 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2012.

Diverse Voices Line Up Behind The Campaign To Fix The Debt
Groups Representing Latinos, Young Professionals, National Parks, Women, and Minority-Owned Businesses Echo National Campaign's Call for Bipartisan, Comprehensive Deal to Avert Cliff, Bring Down Debt
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, the Campaign to Fix the Debt announced five new partners, each representing a broad swath of America and each displaying its commitment to a comprehensive, bipartisan agreement that will avert the "fiscal cliff" and begin bending down the unsustainable trajectory of the U.S. national debt. These partner organizations are the Minority Business Roundtable, the Puerto Rican Coalition, Women Impacting Public Policy, Gen Next, and the National Parks Conservation Association.
"CEOs of America's small, minority and women companies have joined Campaign to Fix the Debt to urge the President and Congressional leaders to stand up for them and pass legislation in this lame-duck session to avert the 'fiscal cliff' crisis. That means reprioritizing their commitment to fairer taxes, reforming the tax code, reducing regulatory barriers and cutting wasteful government spending," said Roger Campos, President and CEO of the Minority Business Roundtable.
The business groups' participation with the Campaign reflects the fact that falling off the fiscal cliff would be profoundly damaging to small business and start-ups, for whom policy and economic certainty is vital in order to attract funding and new customers. As such, the Campaign to Fix the Debt has amassed more than 2,500 small businesses – at least 50 in each state – under its Small Business Leadership Council.The Campaign is also raising awareness of how the fiscal cliff and the out-of-control national debt are affecting communities of every economic status. Going off the cliff would raise federal income taxes on people in all tax brackets, and it would curtail important programs that benefit working families, education funding, and other services upon which people of all income levels rely.

(Graphic: Business Wire)
Western Gas Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) ("WES" or the "Partnership") today announced that it has agreed to acquire a 33.75% interest in both the Liberty and Rome gas gathering systems from Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC) for total consideration of $490 million (the "Anadarko Acquisition"). The Partnership also announced that it has agreed to acquire a 33.75% interest in the Larry's Creek, Seely and Warrensville gas gathering systems from an affiliate of Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE: CHK) for total consideration of $133.5 million (the "Third-Party Acquisition"). The assets in both the Anadarko Acquisition and the Third-Party Acquisition serve production from the Marcellus shale in north-central Pennsylvania and have current total combined throughput of over 1.2 Bcf/d.
"These immediately accretive Marcellus acquisitions further enhance both our geographic diversity and our fee-based asset portfolio," said Chief Operating Officer, Danny Rea. "We expect that the high quality of the underlying resources in combination with the large inventory of wells not yet connected to the systems will provide significant near-term growth."
The Partnership intends to finance the Anadarko Acquisition with approximately $220 million of cash on hand, the borrowing of $246 million on its revolving credit facility and the issuance of 449,129 common units to Anadarko at an implied price of approximately $54.55 per unit. The transaction will be immediately accretive to the Partnership, with the acquisition price representing an approximate 7.6 times multiple of the assets' forecasted 2013 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). The transaction is expected to close on March 1, 2013.
The Partnership intends to finance the Third-Party Acquisition with borrowings on its revolving credit facility. The transaction will be immediately accretive to the Partnership, with the acquisition price representing an approximate 9.7 times multiple of the assets' forecasted 2013 EBITDA. The acquisition is expected to close by March 15, 2013.
