PHP and CGI
I am working on a simple CMS that will be placed in the cgi-bin directory. I am running into issues; the script doesn't work, etc. I have done some searching around the web and plenty of places are saying that php can be executed within the cgi-bin directory, but I am having trouble figuring out how to make it work. I have seen plenty of messages about a cgi-php.ini and php.cgi...
Can somebody help me out?
I am writing this into a pre-existing form registration system that allows people to view certain content. I would like to add in a simple cms that will allow the admins to create a heading, simple description paragraph and upload a PDF file into a folder and place the link. Very simple, but it doesn't work in the cgi-bin. It seems to reference a start.cgi and a htmlos.cgi file...

You can run PHP scripts in your main directory or any "other" directory.
The "cgi-bin" has usually been associated with the Perl programming language ...
that's where you're hearing about that. People call it "CGI", but they actually
mean Perl. CGI (common gateway interface) is not a programming language.
So, although Perl is a tremendous (and powerful) programming language, more
people are using PHP for the simple reason that it can be run in any of the other
directories, is easier to learn than Perl, works well with MySQL, and has a ton of
online support ... for those willing to learn it themselves.
Maybe you can elaborate on why your PHP script has to run in the "cgi-bin" directory.
Or, perhaps you didn't try any PHP test scripts in your other directories?
I would say, leave the "cgi-bin" directory alone, unless you're working
with Perl scripting ... and maybe that's what is causing your confusion?

here is my reply
Thanks for your help.
I know all that you have said.
The reason why I was planning on using php within the cgi folder is that my clients already have a login/authetication scripting installed, plus there is a encryption script that turns the address into numbers based on sessions, so that it bcomes semi-secure. I figured I can just add a simple php cms within this as an added feature.
Oh well. Off to building a whole new solution.

This item is part of the Zaida Rugs Traditional collection, which features a distinctive range of hand-stitched wool carpets. The rugs are similar to kelims in terms of weight and flatness but feature a much more intricate construction technique, which ultimately produces vibrant and striking detailing. The woolen threads are naturally dyed and chain-stitched onto a soft cotton canvas backing. The Zaida traditional collection is a truly exceptional top quality and durable range of rugs. Please note that the rugs in this collection do not have a hard backing and as such can be used as throws or wall hangings

text: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding Kelly Rowland's "Kisses Down Low" Bradley Stern March 27, 2013 Kelly Rowland 6 Comments 337 By now, you might have heard some people talk a good game about Kelly Rowland's new single, "Kisses Down Low." I myself, as a proud Rowland Stone, am a big fan. (Did you know? It's now on iTunes.) However, I'm not sure that everyone quite understands the various complexities and nuances of Kelly's Mike WiLL Made It-produced ode to the oral satisfaction of her lady bits, which is steadily rising on the Billboard Hot 100—currently at #80. (Kelly Rowland likes her kisses down low, not her chart numbers.) And so, as with Legendtina's "Your Body" last year, I decided to create a visual guide. Simply click the first photo below and scroll through using your left and right arrows to enjoy the full experience. Feel free to share this entire PowerPoint presentation with your local elementary schools and universities, as well as amongst friends who may benefit from the teachings. And remember: #BuyKissesDownLowOniTunes. "Kisses Down Low" was released on February 1.

I have made Three Tours twice as Quilts of Valor. One I donated to our local quilt guild for inclusion in their QofV mailings and another for the son of a friend of mine who has also served multiple tours in Afghanistan. The pattern was easy to follow and the quilt is beautiful.

This was my first Tour of Duty quilt, and I made it for my son, a graduate of a military academy. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 3 stars was because I replaced one of the fabrics that had a clear linear print -- I knew that if I didn't sew absolutely straight in perfectly straight stitches, I would have never forgiven myself for spoiling the symmetry. This quilt looks just wonderful. The blocks are in clear bright colors, not difficult to assemble. I even followed the suggested quilting directions. My son will be very pleased.

My twin uncles, proud Navy veterans of the Korean War, were turning 85. What to do? Two Quilts of Valor, the amazingly beautiful Three Tours quilt was my gift to each of them, slightly different as they are fraternal twins after all! It was truly a gift of love and I think they stood a little taller when they realized the significance of the title and the background of Quilts of Valor. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Ever noticed how one little hot button issue can turn the most well-meaning, civil adults into a room full of wild animals? I see this happen every time I go to my Homeowner's Association (HOA) meeting.
In fact, purchasing a home in the South OC area often includes being a part of an HOA. The amicable neighbors who smile and give a slight nod as they walk past one another on a daily basis completely change one evening a month in my residence. As the board meets, the residents all gather outside stewing and brooding about "their" issue while those pearly whites shown in that neighborhly smile on Monday transform into a more carnal snarl on Tuesday.
Once inside the meeting, you find nothing but tension. I've experienced everything from neighbors griping on their evening walks to flat out yelling matches. I've seen lawyers pulled in, read about lawsuits from homeowners, lawsuits from the HOA and lawsuits from builders. Have I mentioned that I've only been here two years and from what I hear, this is pretty par for the course?
So what do you do when your neighbor refuses to pick up his dog's "treats" from the public area, the resident anarchist wants to change the parking rules in a way that will negatively affect your ability to actually get a parking spot within three blocks of your home or you just want that tree in a public area trimmed and no one will listen?
Kelly Richardson of the OC Register offers some great tips. How to summarize her suggestions: listen & be respectful.
She offers up a variety of suggestions for the governing board, as well as the community members. I actually found the points pretty ironic because they sound a lot like basic parenting rules! Can you imagine how much more pleasant our HOA meetings would be if we all showed up ready to listen to all sides of the story (instead of seething), followed some basic rules of courtesy and respect (don't interrupt, don't threaten, etc.), and realized that someone wouldn't forgo watching CSI just to go listen to everyone complain at a meeting because it's more fun, but instead because no matter how horribly they behave, they are obviously upset about something.
So next time, let's try not to bear our teeth (spelling error and pun fully intended) and treat each other as respectfully and civilly as we would on the morning after the meetings are over and we might actually see some change in our communities rather than just arguing.

Hey, Begonia fans!
I've got a couple of questions, and I'm hoping some of you can help: 1) I'm considering purchasing two Rexes, Curly Lion and Green Tiger, through mail order (rexbegonias.com). What's attracting me to these cultivars are the seemingly yellow leaves, but yellow seems to be rare color in the Rex world. Does anyone have these plants? If so, can you tell me whether the foliage truly is yellow, or whether the lighting of the online images is enhancing a green leaf? 2) Does anyone know the bloom color and timing (i.e., seasonal, everblooming, etc.) for
3) I purchased an untagged Rex a month ago, and now I'm wondering what it is. Its coloration is that of Camelot, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Corkscrew, and Shirley, but I don't what how to distinguish between these cultivars. Anyone know their differences? If not, is Merry Christmas the most available/common of them? 4) The ABS featured Angel Glow as the "Begonia of the Week" on 6/8/09. Anyone know if it's for sale anywhere? Sorry about the lengthy post, and thanks for any/all help! -Crazy |

1) Curly Lion and Green Tiger are more than likely 'Cowardly Lion' and 'Marmaduke' respectively. They really aren't rexes but that isn't really important. Do a web search for both of these names. Cowardly Lion has some yellow tones to it but is more orangey brown in my opinion and Marmaduke is kind of yellow with red spots. Cowardly Lion is semi-easy to grow and keep. Too much water can make it go downhill fast. Marmaduke is a wonderful performer in summer but is very temperamental indoors during winter. I think it may need a lot more humidity than normal house air. 2)Benitochiba usually blooms (pink) in the spring but may sporadically bloom. It is grown more for its leaves than its blooms anyway. It will usually defoliate in winter for a seasonal dormancy. Looking Glass and Maurice Amey should bloom sporadically given the right conditions. They both have pink blooms too. Again they are grown more for their leaves. These two are notorious for mildew. They grow like weeds outdoors in summer but once cool weather hits, mildew can be a huge problem and may lead to their demise. A lot of times these two are best grown as annuals unless you have the right conditions in your home for them. 3)Rexes come and go. Enjoy them for their beauty. If they have a name that is great. A lot are mis-tagged though. Some are hard to differentiate one from another similar one. Rexes are mildew prone too but usually can be kept through winter since they typically defoliate for a few weeks in winter. 4)Angel Glow is so new in the USA that I don't know if it is widely available. A few people have it. It is a Ross Bolwell (Australia) creation and hopefully it will go into TC soon and be available at next year's ABS convention. |

Dear Cyclist with the red flashing light on the FRONT of your bike,
You can wave your finger and shout about how stupid I am all you want Mr. Dyslexicycle - but the red flashy light goes on the BACK of your bike and the white steady or flashy light goes on the front.
On a dark street if you have the red flashy light on the front it looks very much like you are biking AWAY from my car. I care about you man, use your noggin'.
Thank you.

It's weird how you always kind of assume that all the celebrities are in some wonderful mansion somewhere having a really great time, frolicking in a swimming pool filled with champagne and eating double scoops of caviar out of $150 sugar cones. But then you tell yourself that this isn't really the case. They have to get up at the break of dawn to get to the makeup trailer to have their silicone faces buffed out, and tomorrow there is the Morning Zoo Radio Bumper series they have to do for 13,000 affiliate stations, and after that they've got to annul last weekend's marriage. Surely, being a celebrity is actually much more difficult and much less glamorous than it seems what with the loss of privacy and the unshakable fear that the world will discover you're a fraud and the ever-looming Damaclesian Sword of your impending and inevitable irrelevance. We all experience some dark nights from time to time, but I bet celebrities's dark nights are the darkerest. At least, that's what you think. Then you see a photo that reminds you, nope, you were right the first time, they are all hanging out and it's incredible. So much fun. Have you tried the lobster pizza and the truffle ice cream? Jeff Goldblum simply MUST give you a tour of the place just as soon as he's finished depositing these checks into his personal ATM. Oh, fames.
Caption this photo of Jeff Goldblum playing piano for Jane Lynch and Zooey Deschanel. Winner will receive special placement in this week's Monsters' Ball, which is how Colin Farrell got his start. Click through to enlarge. (Image via Buzzfeed.)
I'm sorry, guys; all I can see in this picture is an open mouth.
Goldblum, Lynch and Deschanel celebrate after placing a successful order for a Happy Hot Dog Man.
All I can think about is the concentric ripples about to be formed in Zooey's glass from impact tremors. I'M FAIRLY ALARMED HERE.
"Are we having fun yet?"
"Yes. Yes we are."
If Goldblum was going to remake La Dolce Vida, they'd have to call it La DOUCHE de Vivre.
If Deschanel was going to remake it, they'd have to call it La Dolce VINO.
If Lynch was going to remake it, they'd have to call it The Sweet Life, OR AT LEAST IT WAS TILL PARTY DOWN WAS CANCELLED .
This terrible joke brought to you by Internet Commenter Weekly.
I look terrible in that picture.
Rarely would someone think that the original Italian poster for La Dolce Vita is not pretentious enough. That's gotta be Goldblum's house.
Celebrities really are just like u… wait. Actually drinking wine from a plastic cup and playing the piano is pretty normal.
Well la dee dah, mister fancypants. Look at you, pouring your wine out of the bottle before you drink it!
Well, not to brag or anything but every once in a while I use an actual wine glass. I keep it next to my diamond studded cocaine chalice and black market moon rock.
Sorry that some of us just have to get down on our knees and drink wine straight out of the hand-carved mahogany box.
I prefer to drink mine out of a can. I feel it is conducive to my violent hand gestures when I speak.
Guys, let's do shots and get crazy!
Oh, That One. Beating me to the plastic cup joke. Always the bridesmaid never the Ball over here.
HEY HUCK I'VE GOT SOME—wait, surely by now Monsters must've used up all the "Monster Balls" jokes forever, right? Nevermind.
"This is a little…uh… haha…a… uh… little, uh, ditty that I like… uh, like to call… uh 'Tie a, uh, a… yellow… uh.. ribbon. Yes. A ribbon'"
I hope this one wins.
Damn, son, looks like the Winwood endorsement carries some weight around here! Facetaco/Winwood in 2012?
Not pictured: M. Ward shinning everyone's shoes.
We're in for either the best movie ever, or the worst orgy ever.
Didn't Requiem for a Dream do both of those?
I'd like one ticket to Lafftown. Fondue cheddar's buying.
You know who was at your birthday party? Not Jane Lynch and not Zooey Deschanel, that's who. Jeff Goldblum was there for a little while, but he wouldn't stop talking about Apple products. And you cried for most of it because the cake icing was wrong. Now be quiet and eat your beans. — Your mom
I think Jeff Goldblum might be sad that the camera diverted everyone's attention from his song.
"Oh, a plastic cup for wine. Why don't you just club me with a brontosaurus bone and drag me back to your mastodon cave by my hair right now and get it over with?"
dino droppings
These people make more money than God and that's not a Steinway grand? Pah! -Me, piano technician
His piano skills are so (the) fly
Well, until his fingernails come out.
Zooey Deschanel sings… AGAIN.
Guys, guys, I was TOTALLY in a musical. This is a little something called "He's Packing His Trunk".
Jeff Goldblum is no longer the only one watching you poop.
That crooked lampshade is driving me crazy.
A gaunt-looking Sally Jessy Raphael (center) is shown just moments before rushing off to Google, "Best way to remove red wine stain from white carpeting".
Good morning, good morning! It's great to stay up late (as long as we don't run out of cocaine)!
"Actually, I can't wait to get out of here." – The piano
"I make better vibrations than that T-Rex ladies"
isnt there some old death cab song that talks about drinking wine from paper cups or something like that? so yeah, um clever quip about that (insert here)
If only we knew the lyrics to what they were singing…LIPSYNCH ENHANCE:
This comment won the competition… for my heart.
Briefly filling my brain's RAM caching with ACTUAL NICKELBACK LYRICS is now vindicated, Brucie.
I hope Gabe picks this one just because you used Impact.
Wait, Photoshop has other fonts besides Impact?

College: It Never Really Ends.
Jeff's dorm room was the hottest on the 9th floor of hollywood hall that night. John Mayer with his dreamy guitar sulked in his empty single by the elevators….
I kind of don't have anything snarky to say because I like these people. Well, OK I definitely like Zooey Deschanel the least. Happy?
Oh baby Jeff, Jeff's got what they need, but they say he's just a friend, but they say he's just a friend…

They may be laughing now, but little do they know – they have both just been impregnated by Goldbloom without even realizing it.
Three raw material enthusiasts in the studio, recording the new jingle for Cotton.
Looks like they're FLYing by the seat of their pants making a GLEEful noise with THE NEW GIRL!

And again:
Not pictured: Your miserable fucking life.
Uh… oh-kayyy.
Nice to meet you too, I guess. :/
Has "La Douceur de Vivre" been said yet? I think it should be "La Douceur de Vivre." It roughly translates to "the sweetness of barfing into your own shirt pocket."
Jeff Goldblum Is watching you piano.
look at me now, look at me now, im gettin paper….and i guess fuck all of you too. no rhyme needed. you dont have goldblum on the piano.
almost forgot, they fresher than all you mothafuckers.
Oh look everyone, Zooey Deschanel is singing.

Amanda Ryalls, Marketing and Intelligence Director at Skills for Justice gives a retrospective on the importance of skills during a time of change.
2012 has been an extremely challenging time for employers and employees within the sectors we serve with change of a scale and pace never seen before. As the Sector Skills Council supporting Justice, Legal Services, Local & Central Government, Fire & Rescue and the Armed Forces of the UK, we have witnessed firsthand the requirement to continue to deliver a quality service despite significant cuts to budgets. Having to meet the challenges presented, our sectors have embraced skills and workforce development to find new and different ways of doing things, supporting employees to work creatively with their colleagues.
We have been very successful in working with our employers to secure significant funds from the UK Commission for Employment and Skills to support innovative skills activity as budgets are squeezed. The focus has been to support this essential sector to both rise to today's challenges and be in good shape for tomorrow, across the four UK nations. Without support we would not have been able to carry out the extraordinary work and seize the opportunity to ensure employees and leaders within the sector have the skills they need.
The squeeze on budgets has not been the only driver for change. In working to reduce reoffending the National Offender Management Service has seen the introduction of 'Payment by Results (PbR)' and working prisons as a means to help offenders to develop economically viable skills and enhance their work ethic in support of successful reintroduction back into the community. Our client work has focused on bringing the various service providers together to share and develop resources so that employees have the employment related skills they need to succeed with this.
The police have seen the introduction of Police and Crime Commissioners, giving greater power at the local level to influence the priorities and quality of policing, and the emergence of the new College of Policing. We have supported both of these developments through the employer-led standards and competency frameworkwhich are in place to ensure employees understand 'what good looks like' in terms of the roles they are asked to play.
Interoperability, that is employers and employees working more effectively together in dealing with national and local incidents, has been a major driver for our colleagues in Fire and Rescue and Police. Working with them and the Home Office will continue throughout 2013 as we draw from the successes of the past to develop effective collaborative learning resources to support resilience.
Working with new clients across Local Government, Armed Forces, and Legal Services has presented new challenges:
We have worked and will continue to work with Local governmentas they deliver public sector reform and find innovative ways to empower local communities to contribute more to making and shaping a safe 'Big' society.
With the loss of front line personnel across the Armed Forces, we are working with the four Armed Forces of the UK on two key priorities: working more closely to ensure that the world class skills training which service personnel receive in service is more easily recognised and valued by employers in the wider community, so that they can find sustainable employment as they return to civilian life; and working to ensure that the reservist force is equipped with the skills and training required to be able to perform effectively.
The introduction of Alternative Business Structures within Legal Services alongside the recent Legal Services Act has presented an opportunity for us to work with some of the largest law firms in the UK. With them and other key stakeholders, we have developed an apprenticeship schemewhich will provide a viable alternative route into and through the legal services sector. In so doing, we are helping the sector to recruit from a more diverse pool and to deliver service to the public at a more competitive rate whilst retaining quality.
In Northern Ireland we are developing a joint curriculum for Desertcreat, the new joint college to service Police, the Prison Service and the Fire and Rescue service. We are also working to support activity to help SMEs reduce their vulnerability and the cost of crime to their business.
In Wales we are working with the Police to develop and pilot the very first apprenticeship for a serving Police Officer which, if successful, will signal the way for Police across the UK to recruit from a more diverse pool and equip officers with the skills they need in role.
We are supporting the programme of Scottish Police Reform which will establish a national police service and are developing a policing professional framework. This will enable and facilitate integration and transition across the new unitary service. It will apply the knowledge and experience gained from developing a similar model in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, with a reflection, however, on the differences in approach to policing that exist in Scotland. This 'knowledge transfer' will enable the framework to progress much faster and will result in real savings in terms of time and development costs.
In support of victim centred justice we are also developing standards and a competence assessment frameworkto ensure that the highly important role of the volunteer is supported, recognised and understood.
As the year comes to a close we look forward to 2013. We will continue to voice the opinions of our employers and keep training and skills at the top of the agenda, so that they can continue to keep us all safe and provide the environment we need for individuals and business to thrive in the UK.

Questions About My Order
I placed an order and didn't get a confirmation email. What should I do?
This is a problem commonly caused by an overactive spam filter. Our system generates a receipt email with every purchase and sends it to the email address that you signed up with. If you didn't get this email chances are that either your order was not processed for some reason or that the email was gobbled up in various spam filters either on your server or email client.
Try going into your spam filter and searching for the message. Or (this is much easier, by the way) try logging into your account to see the details of your purchase. You can do that here. If the system doesn't recognize your email address, chances are your order did not go through. This can be due to a bad connection or a glitch within our system. You should try your purchase again.
This is probably due to either an incorrect email address or incorrect password. You may only login with the information you signed up with originally at checkout. Try to recover your password by going here. If the system doesn't recongize your email address you should try signing up with another email and password as it probably didn't register with the system the first time.
I forgot my password.
No problem. Go here and we'll send it to the email address we have on file. Make sure that you enter the email address that you signed up with at checkout.
How do I download my purchases?
Downloading your purchases is easy. When you completed checkout we sent you a receipt email at the bottom of which is the download information including a download password. You will need this password to get your purchases. When you have your download password copy/paste it into the box on this page. You will then be prompted to save the download on your drive.
If you did not get the receipt email with your download password at the bottom, never fear. Simply login to your account here and go to "My Account History". Your order information and password will be listed here. To retrieve your product, click directly on the download password and you will be taken to the download area.
Our products are delivered in .zip format, which means that you must have an unzipping program such as WinZip or Stuffit to unpack the products once they have been downloaded to your computer.
My download password has expired. What do I do?
You should try to download your purchase as soon as possible after checking out. Download passwords are only valid for one week after the purchase is made. If you have missed the deadline for downloading your product we will have to reset your password. To request a password extension please send an email to us by clicking "Contact" and we'll be happy to do that for you. Don't forget to include your order number so we can find your original receipt.
When I tried to download my purchase I got an IP address error. What is this?
For copyright reasons we restrict downloads to only one I.P. address. An I.P. address is a unique number assigned to your computer that identifies that particular computer to us. (Please know that I.P. addresses do not give us any personally identifiable information about you and are not used in any way to track your web activity, to spam, or otherwise infringe on your privacy.)
When you download your product the order is marked as delivered and will void the download password. But, you ask, what if the download didn't complete due to connection troubles? This is a common problem due to slow connections or ones that cut out frequently. If you were not able to download the product fully the first time we will have to reset your download password so that you may have another "go" at it. If this is the case please email us by clicking "Contact" above and we will arrange to reset your download.
But I have two computers. One at my studio and one at home. Can't I download the product twice so that I have it in both locations?
We have no problem with you keeping the product on both your studio and home computer. What we recommend is that you download the product to your main computer and use a thumb drive or other portable drive to copy the product to another machine.

Soccer Locker supplies casual, seasoned, and new soccer players with all the equipment and apparel necessary to practice at home, scrimmage during practice, or play a game. Browse gear from Under Armour, Nike, Adidas, and other top-flight brands that keep players looking professional on the field. In addition to its apparel, Soccer Locker stocks replica jerseys and shorts from several international football clubs, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and the U.S. National team. You'll also find essential equipment, from duffel bags and nets to shin guards and goalkeeper gloves that protect players during heated games of patty-cake.
At Downtown Soccer Miami's two outdoor mini fields, players of all ages can practice and show off their skills with youth and adult leagues, training, pick-up games, and tournaments. The brightly lit, grassy pitches accommodate up to two matches at once, hosting after-work pick-up games. Corporate leagues help co-workers build cohesion and office-supply-punting skills.
Fernando Nicolas "Nico" Clavijo knows a thing or two about soccer. The son of former USA World Cup player and National Soccer Hall of Famer Fernando Clavijo, Nico was exposed to world-class play from a very young age. He grew up to start a successful career of his own, playing for C.A. Atenas in Uruguay, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, and currently, a professional beach team that competes internationally in front of pods of vuvuzela-blowing whales.
Nico pools all of that experience into Clavijo Soccer Academy, where he dribbles wisdom into open ears during private and group lessons. He uses the facility to school young players, especially, in an effort to bolster the USA soccer presence amongst global powers such as Brazil, Spain, and Argentina.
Florida Crushers' licensed coaches have a knack for spotting athletic ability. They seek out girls and boys with the potential to excel as soccer players and help them hone their skills through their childhood and teenage years. Training can start for players as young as four years old. Coaches use fun games and activities to instill the fundamentals of coordination, ball movement, and confidence. As players progress, coaches introduce game strategy and reveal how to crack open a soccer ball to access the creamy filling inside. They also ready players for tournament play.
Gábor Pásztor has always loved sports, his passion and athleticism leading him to compete in international track-and-field meets on behalf of his home country, Hungary. Today, he brings his speed, endurance, and coordination skills to the United States to help a new generation of soccer and track-and-field stars hone their natural abilities at Citius Athletic Club Miami. At his club, he helms US Soccer Federation–registered soccer teams in competitive play against other local organizations. And he's serious about the sport: He holds practice with four different age groups of students—ranging ages 3–13—three times a week.
In addition to prepping youths for league play, he and his coaches lead fundamentals classes for beginning soccer players. The fundamentals classes cover the same skills and techniques as the competitive practices, but students aren't required to compete in games or maintain perfect pitch during the "National Anthem."
Led by veteran players Clint Dempsey, Tim Howard, and Carlos Bocanegra, the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team faces off against CONCACAF rival Honduras. Holding an 11-3-3 series advantage against the Central American team dating back to 1965, the U.S. team will attempt to kick its way to victory like a kangaroo escaping the circus. With both teams angling for World Cup berths in 2014, the international friendly match will offer players and coaches a chance to size each other up in the vast Sun Life Stadium, which ensconces spectators in a patriotic red and blue color scheme. Today's deal also includes an American flag, allowing fans to excitedly wave banners during dazzling plays or to carefully examine stars to ensure that Hawaii is, in fact, a state.

Health & Safety - Electricity at Work
Electricity can kill!
Each year about 1000 accidents at work involving electric shock or burns are reported to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). About 30 of these are fatal, however nearly a quarter of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable equipment. Those using electricity may not be the only ones at risk: poor electrical installations and faulty electrical appliances can lead to fires which may also cause death or injury to others. Most accidents can be avoided by careful planning and straightforward precautions. The main duty of employers is to identify the hazard and reduce the risk of the hazard occurring.
Legislation in the Workplace
Under the Health & Safety etc. Act 1974 employers are responsible for ensuring the safety and health of their employees and the public, if they are at risk from those work activities. This responsibility is made more specific under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
What are the Hazards Associated with Electricity?
The main hazards are:
- contact with live parts causing shock and burns (normal mains voltage, 230 volts AC, can kill)
- faults which could cause fires
- fire or explosion where electricity could be the source of ignition e.g. in a spray paint booth.
How can the Hazards be Reduced and Controlled?
1. Ensure that the electrical installation is safe and then maintain in a safe condition
- install new electrical systems to a suitable standard, e.g. BS 7671
- existing installations should be properly maintained
- provide enough socket-outlets - never overloading socket or outlets as this can cause fires.
2. Provide safe and suitable equipment
- choose equipment that is suitable for its working environment
- ensure that equipment is safe when supplied and then maintain it in a safe condition
- provide a switch near each to cut off power in an emergency
- for portable equipment, use socket-outlets which are close by for easy disconnection in an emergency
- the ends of flexible cables should always be firmly fixed into the plug using the cable clamp
- replace damaged sections using connectors or cable couplers - do not use strip connector blocks covered in insulating tape
- trailing or extension leads are intended as a temporary measure - do not use as a permanent source of supply.
3. Reduce the voltage
One of the best ways of reducing the risk of injury when using electrical equipment is to limit the supply voltage to the lowest needed to get the job done.
Alternatively, where electrically powered tools are used, battery operated are safest.
Portable tools are readily available which are designed to be run from a 110 volts centre-tapped-to-earth supply.
4. Provide a safety device
If equipment operating at 230 volts or higher is used, an RCD (residual current device) can provide additional safety. The best place for an RCD is built into the main switchboard or the socket-outlet. If this is not possible a plug incorporating an RCD, or a plug-in RCD adaptor, can also provide additional safety.
5. Carry out preventative maintenance
All electrical equipment and installations should be maintained to prevent danger, this includes an appropriate system of visual inspection. It is recommended that fixed installations are inspected and tested periodically by a competent person. Equipment users can help by reporting any damage or defects they find.
6. Work safely
Make sure that people who are working with electricity are competent to do the job. Even simple tasks such as wiring a plug can lead to danger - ensure that people know what they are doing before they start.
Check that:
- suspect or faulty equipment is taken out of use, labelled 'DO NOT USE' and kept secure until examined by a competent person
- tools and power socket-outlets are switched off before plugging in or unplugging
- equipment is switched off and/or unplugged before cleaning or making adjustments.
For additional information contact |Environmental Services or visit the |HSE website.

SBBG Docents
The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is supported by a dedicated and knowledgeable team of Docents. The work of the Education Department is largely carried out by these experienced and enthusiastic volunteers who have embraced the vision and mission of the Garden, and share it with our visitors and community. Some of the unique opportunities for Docents include receiving reduced prices on classes for continuing education, early class registration, and special field trips and lectures. The monthly volunteer newsletter Sage Remarks keeps all our volunteers informed.
Prospective docents must participate in the California Naturalist Program within one year of beginning as a Garden volunteer. The Garden holds a Docent training course at the end of the California Naturalist program, in January and June. Subjects include native plant identification and horticulture, Garden history, and Native American uses of plants. Trainees are assigned veteran Docents as mentors, and learn to lead tours for both children and adults and to present outreach programs in the schools and community.
Please contact Education Program Manager, or phone (805) 682-4726 ext. 111

I'm really curious if any one out there has any apple head dolls they've made, to post pictures of. I've made a few and they're so fun with each individual personality. I'm not familiar enough to post anything yet, so maybe someone can pave the way and maybe get the subject going. Please post or e-mail me about them. There certainly is no right or wrong way about these little "folks." Just plain ol' fun. |

Hey! I have made apple head dolls, and they are fun to make and do dry up to become unique characters. I carved several then hung them in my dad's shop for a long, long time. He has pot-bellied stove in there so it was very dry. My best doll of the bunch turned out to look like she was singing, so I made her a choir robe and put a song book in her hands like she was singing. I entered her in a contest, but she didn't win. I heard they had gobs of apple heads in a previous contest so mine was passe'. |

NSA WhistleBlower Outs Himself
samzenpus posted about a year and a half ago | from the man-behind-the-curtain dept.
860An anonymous reader writes "The individual responsible for one of the most significant leaks in US political history is Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old former technical assistant for the CIA and current employee of the defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. Snowden has been working at the National Security Agency for the last four years as an employee of various outside contractors, including Booz Allen and Dell. The Guardian, after several days of interviews, is revealing his identity at his request. From the moment he decided to disclose numerous top-secret documents to the public, he was determined not to opt for the protection of anonymity. 'I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong,' he said."

- Posted by jeffrey_gardener 8 (email@example.com) on Thu, Oct 10, 13 at 21:10
No, this is not a jelly palm. It will be good through zone 6. Eventually it will begin to add offsets that can be left alone as part of the plant or planted as an individual plant. It can be grown in a pot or outside. If grown outside, it should be above zone 6. Let me know if you have any other questions. |
Thank you! I was looking for some edible fruit. No other questions. |

@sevenseas - Good points. I was actually reading a story a while back about a guy who had completely changed his life by doing yoga.
He was in a war, Vietnam I think, and was wounded. He lost a lot of his ability to walk and gave up trying to recover. He eventually gained a lot of weight and lost even more movement. At one point, he decided enough was enough and contacted a former professional wrestler who had started an extreme yoga program.
The guy worked really hard and eventually gained his whole life back. He went from not being able to move without crutches to running full speed and doing handstands. I think it is just a testament to what yoga and hard work can accomplish.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 A psalm of Asaf: How good God is to Isra'el, to those who are pure in heart! | 1 Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. |
2 But as for me, I lost my balance, my feet nearly slipped, | 2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. |
3 when I grew envious of the arrogant and saw how the wicked prosper. | 3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. |
4 For when their death comes, it is painless; and meanwhile, their bodies are healthy; | 4 They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. |
5 they don't have ordinary people's troubles, they aren't plagued like others. | 5 They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills. |
6 So for them, pride is a necklace; and violence clothes them like a robe. | 6 Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence. |
7 Their eyes peep out through folds of fat; evil thoughts overflow from their hearts. | 7 From their callous hearts comes iniquity; the evil conceits of their minds know no limits. |
8 They scoff and speak with malice, they loftily utter threats. | 8 They scoff, and speak with malice; in their arrogance they threaten oppression. |
9 They set their mouths against heaven; their tongues swagger through the earth. | 9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth. |

11 Then they ask, "How does God know? Does the Most High really have knowledge?" | 11 They say, "How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?" |
12 Yes, this is what the wicked are like; those free of misfortune keep increasing their wealth. | 12 This is what the wicked are like-- always carefree, they increase in wealth. |
13 It's all for nothing that I've kept my heart clean and washed my hands, staying free of guilt; | 13 Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure; in vain have I washed my hands in innocence. |
14 for all day long I am plagued; my punishment comes every morning. | 14 All day long I have been plagued; I have been punished every morning. |
15 If I had said, "I will talk like them,"I would have betrayed a generation of your children. | 15 If I had said, "I will speak thus," I would have betrayed your children. |
16 When I tried to understand all this, I found it too hard for me - | 16 When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me |

20 They are like a dream when one awakens; Adonai, when you rouse yourself, you will despise their phantoms. | 20 As a dream when one awakes, so when you arise, O Lord, you will despise them as fantasies. |
21 When I had a sour attitude and felt stung by pained emotions, | 21 When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered, |
22 I was too stupid to understand; I was like a brute beast with you. | 22 I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you. |
23 Nevertheless, I am always with you; you hold my right hand. | 23 Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. |
24 You will guide me with your advice; and afterwards, you will receive me with honor. | 24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. |

27 Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who adulterously leave you. | 27 Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you. |
28 But for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made Adonai ELOHIM my refuge, so that I can tell of all your works. | 28 But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds. |

"Marijuana prohibition was a failed experiment," says Mason Tvert at 3D Cannabis
Despite the snow, the holiday and the long lines, 3D Cannabis Center was abuzz with excitement yesterday morning with the start of recreational marijuana sales. Attempting to navigate both the media's hungry demand for more information on this historic event and the public's hungry demand for their first purchase of state government-approved marijuana, 3D hosted a press conference at 7:30 a.m. with those behind the A-64 campaign, followed by a strobe-light frenzy of camera flashes for what was presented as "the first sale in Colorado." Toni Fox and Mason Tvert.
"A lot of folks have been referring to what's happening in Colorado as an 'experiment with legalized marijuana'" Marijuana Policy Project's Mason Tvert said early New Year's morning, speaking before a crowded room of reporters from around the globe. "But in fact the experiment was marijuana prohibition, and that experiment dramatically failed. Colorado has developed a far more sensible approach, and in doing so we're setting an example for the rest of the nation and the rest of the world. Lawmakers and voters around this country are watching what's happening here, and are interested in taking similar actions and adopting similar laws."
"In Colorado, we expect over 400 million dollars in sales next year," said Betty Aldworth, deputy director of the National Cannabis Industry Association, told the crowd. "Across the nation the marijuana industry will create $2.34 billion of economic activity. We'll be creating thousands of jobs and generating millions of dollars in tax revenue, all in regulated stores like this one. Today in Colorado we shift marijuana from the underground and into a regulated market, where we can provide advances for our community and create a stronger Colorado."
Sensible Colorado's Brian Vicente announced that the day's first purchaser of recreational marijuana would be a local veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, Sean Azzariti, highlighting the need for Colorado's MMJ regulators to include PTSD in their list of qualifying ailments, Brandon Marshall Toni Fox making the first sale at 3D.
As with many dispensaries, the sales floor at 3D isn't large, so only photographers were allowed in the room for Azzariti's groundbreaking purchase. (For the record, he bought an eighth of Bubba Kush and an edible truffle.) Meanwhile, outside in the lobby, reporters from Vice, ABC, NBC, the Washington Post, Al Jazeera and the German Press Agency, to name only a few, busied themselves with gobbling up as many interviews as possible, turning every Colorado pothead and political junkie into a pundit for the day.
Taking a moment to catch up with Tvert, we asked the A-64 co-director whether the marijuana black market could survive in spite of legalization, considering the significantly higher prices at the stores -- often twice the price of street-weed. "The black market is virtually at its last gasp, at least in Colorado," he said. "No one would ever consider calling around to their friends or walking down the street looking for some illegal alcohol just because it might be cheaper; they just stop at the store."

EDIT: My eyeshadow's name has no E at the end. I'm aware of the multiple spelling of blonde.. kthx. =)
I got this on sale for $3, and it was the only yellow eye shadow left. I've been wanting "Yellow Punk" but cannot find it. =(
It's a shimmery dark yellow. It has a tinge of orange to it. It was inexpensive, and temporarily killed my desire for a yellow eyeshadow. I still want a matte yellow.

This is my 1st NYX pearl e/s & the packaging is really nice, plus you get a large amount of product for an amazingly price. The pearls are the shimmer line of NYX. This one looks yellow in the pan but as the other reviewer said delivers a soft gold glow. The pan is large enough that you can touch it with a larger brush & use it lightly as a highlighter for glam events. The texture is excellent - no difference from HE. Definitely makes me want to check out more nyx shadows.

Opec ministers rarely agree on anything, other than they like high, not low oil prices, Oil reporters, analysts and industry executives in Vienna for the cartel's meeting usually spend quite a lot of time – and
coffees – pondering the latest disagreement.
But even for the cartel's standards of division, today's meeting has seen a more profound split than usual on what force is behind the large rise in oil prices above $60 a barrel from February's four-year low of
$32.70 a barrel.
The ministers are divided into two camps on the issue: the "fundamentals" and the speculative "bubble".
Ali Naimi, Saudi oil minister and Opec's de facto leader, believes that fundamentals of supply and demand are mostly behind the price rise and, probably because of his firmly belief that better times are around the
corner, has exhibited a particular good humour since he arrived to Vienna on Tuesday.
"You notice there is a lot of optimism in what I say because I am seeing the recovery. That's very important," he told reporters accompanying him in his morning jog.
"The price rise is a function of optimism that better things are coming in the future," Mr Naimi said, adding that customers were already demanding more oil from the kingdom. Saudi Arabia has so far refused to
pump more. Mr Naimi conceded, nevertheless, that the rise was not all "purely fundamental", suggesting that speculative money was also a factor driving prices.
Speculative money is exactly what Chakib Khelil, Algeria's oil minister – an influential voice in Opec and a former senior World Bank official – thinks is behind the price increase, in sharp contrast with Mr Naimi.
The Oil markets may be in a "bubble" because prices are higher than fundamentals would indicate, Mr Khelil said arriving in Vienna.
The Algerian minister is not alone. Abdullah al Attiyah, Qatar oil minister, also thinks something is wrong. "This price of oil now is functional but not related to demand and supply. We should not be too optimistic," he said.
Abdalla Salem El-Badri, Opec's secretary general, agrees with the speculator's camp. "It is not the fundamentals behind the oil price rise," he said, warning that it was "sentiment" in spite of weak demand
and high inventories what was propelling oil prices.
Opec's own economists also see the price recovery as shaky, "due more to market sentiment than fundamentals", and are urging caution to the ministers. "Considerable risks remain as oil market fundamentals are far from balanced due to the persistent contraction in demand and growing supply overhang," Opec's economist said.
Opec ministers, nonetheless, did agree in a point: whatever is behind the rise in prices, it is more than welcome. Oil at $60 a barrel looks a lot better than at $30 a barrel.

DevRel contains a demonstration of Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI), which is a major reliability issue for nanoscale MOS devices. When a device is stressed at negative voltage, depassivation of SiH bonds in the interface occurs. As a result, interface traps are generated (reaction) and the resulting hydrogen species diffuses away from the interface (diffusion). Hence, device characteristics (threshold voltage, mobility, drain current, etc) degrades with time and such degradation satisfies a power law (~ time^n) formula.
Implementing such Reaction-diffusion (RD) model, DevRel shows how threshold voltage of a PMOS device can change with time at different voltages and temperatures.

General Assembly 2009 Event 4065
< Part I
Sponsored by the General Assembly (GA) Planning Committee and Diverse and Revolutionary Unitarian Universalist Multicultural Ministries (DRUUMM). Speakers: Jorge Zeballos and the Rev. Clyde Grubbs.
In this second part of this two-part workshop, the participants separated into two working groups: a person-of-color caucus and a white caucus. Each caucus was asked to address two questions:
The responses are listed on pages 3 through 7 of the workshop notes (PDF, 7 pages) generated by and for this pair of workshops. Those generated by the white caucus are listed in the columns marked "W;" those by the people-of-color caucus are in the column marked "POC."
Returning to the larger group, the participants noted some similarities in the two lists, and some differences between them. But the primary question became "What can we do to move forward?"
One answer to that, as a starting point, is that there are many organizations and other resources currently available within Unitarian Universalism (UUism) that interested persons and congregations can join, work with, or go to for additional information and research. Some of these are:

Over 100 Bolivar County kids will have a brighter holiday thanks to McCain's Shop With a Cop program.
The program runs completely on public donations and is made possible thanks to McCain's hours of commitment and sincere dedication.
Each year he collects funding to take as many children as possible on a shopping extravaganza.
The program, now in its 17th year, has impacted thousands of children.
This Christmas marks the third year Cleveland sisters Adrianna Darby, 12, and Alexis Darby, 9, will have a happier holiday thanks to Shop With a Cop.
Sharon Blaylock, the girls' grandmother, said McCain's efforts have been a blessing.
"My grandkids are raised by a single mother on a fixed income and no child support," said Blaylock. "Without the program our Christmas wouldn't be nearly as fun.
"It just inspires me to see them pick out something they wouldn't otherwise get.
Alexis said there's nothing like having all the toy aisles to choose from.
"It's a lot of fun because I get to pick my gift — thanks to Mr. Mike," said Alexis. "I'm not sure yet what I'll get this time."
Adrianna, who will age out of the program this year, is looking forward to her final opportunity.
"I really want to say thanks to Captain Mike for helping us the last three Christmases," said Adrianna. "He's given us a lot of money."
McCain said he is thrilled donations from Shop With a Cop bring joy to shoppers who come back multiple years.
"What I like about it is that I know for three years they got something good for Christmas," he said. "My biggest fear is that there's children out there who don't get things for Christmas — I can't imagine that."
And perhaps the most heartwarming part of the program is when kids decide to pick out gifts for loved ones — instead of themselves.
"It happens every year. Those kids were thinking about somebody else, and to me, that's the coolest thing," said McCain.
McCain said he didn't expect so much success when the program began in 1995, but it's become a tradition he proudly directs.
"When it all began, I never dreamed it would have gone this far," McCain said. "It continues to be a special program for me and all the kids involved."
The program only works when people find the spirit to give, and McCain said he's continuously impressed how giving the community becomes.
"It's amazing that even with the economic challenges we face, so many people find it in their hearts to provide for the children who need it most," he said. "I'm just so appreciative that people keep on giving through the tough times.
"This little community really pulls together, and the amount of donations we collect is unreal."
Guardians and their happy shoppers have been meeting McCain every afternoon this week to choose their items using $50 gift cards. This year 120 youth took part.
McCain's last round of registered participants will be meeting at Walmart on Saturday.
"It's really a heart-warming experience to see their faces light up when they get to go shopping for something that they really want," added McCain. "I'm 55 but I feel 25 when I'm out here with the kids."
Contact McCain at the Cleveland Police Department at 843-3611 for more details.

marksb commented on the blog post Climate Change Nearing "Irreversible" Stage
Have a friend just got her PhD in, of all things, the history of ports. She says the future of ports–how to prepare for rising seas, how to rebuild to keep docks active, when to do it, how much, where's the money–is on everyone's minds. But nobody's talking about it in any significant way, like maybe it'll go away or be someone else's problem years down the line.
The costs are a nightmare and no one in any organization wants to even think about funding the changes, let alone start making plans.
I'm afraid that's everyone's direction: to even start thinking out loud about what to do would admit the immense cost and radical changes that will have to be made to accommodate to a new reality.
Said one frog to the other, "Seems to be getting a little warm in here, doesn't it?" "Yeah, but we're not boiling yet, so whatever."

Seriously, who needs drones?
marksb commented on the blog post ACLU FOIAs CIA for Documents on Juan Cole
NPR/APR Marketplace was openly discussing the question of did Murdoch's US employees illegally access the phones of 9/11 victim's families? I have no idea if there's fire behind the smoke, but the question was being asked on fairly respectable media outlet.
Interesting…will this scandal make Fox's usual antics be publicly discussed–finally?
Tim Rutten, the media critic at the LA Times, looked at Murdoch and his properties–as well as other US media idiocy–today.
Fox News played a key role in legitimizing the notion of partisan news coverage and political commentary as not just normative but somehow inevitable.
News Corp.'s unquestioned financial success has taken other media organizations — many essentially unmoored from their own values by the stress of technological change — down these same paths. Pre-Murdoch, could we really imagine a dubious gossip website and syndicated TV program such as TMZ being regularly quoted by mainstream media? Would CNN have given license to one of its news personalities to campaign for a guilty verdict in a criminal trial — and to excoriate a jury for disagreeing with her — as it has done with Nancy Grace in the Casey Anthony trial?
The seeds of Murdoch's British newspapers' abuse of trust and power were sown in a media culture whose essentials — salacious celebrity coverage, gossip, overt partisanship — have infiltrated our own under his influence. The meltdown in London ought to be a wake-up call.
More of this, please.

Maybe the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. The place seems pretty much without a coordinated hand on the tiller these days.

Everybody seems to be singing from different hymnals.
marksb commented on the blog post Media Starting to Investigate Michele Bachmann's "Pray Away the Gay" Clinic
The media–and financial establishment–are taking measures to protect themselves from Teh Crazy.
Yesterday's release of the Fed notes said, in part,"Some participants noted that if economic growth remained too slow to make satisfactory progress toward reducing the unemployment rate and if inflation returned to relatively low levels after the effects of recent transitory shocks dissipated, it would be appropriate to provide additional monetary policy accommodation….A few members noted that, depending on how economic conditions evolve, the Committee might have to consider providing additional monetary policy stimulus, especially if economic growth remained too slow to meaningfully reduce the unemployment rate in the medium run."
The "medium term" would be 2012.
What I get is that if a new round of back-office stimulus (QE3) is needed to reduce unemployment and make it at least look like the economy is on the mend, and that's what's needed to keep Obama in power compared to whatever crazy the GOP puts up, well, let's get it done.Now the media is going after the craziest of Bachmann's many crazy aspects.
The fix is starting, IMHO. -

marksb commented on the blog post Our Unilateral Counterterrorism Operations in Somalia
OK, all good points, and I'm wondering if we are seeing this "devine knowledge" thing that conservatives act out. I mean the way they KNOW they are right–like they have an absolute knowledge from God–and anyone with a different viewpoint (especially if it's "liberal") are not only wrong, but evil.
To my memory, CIA members have always been among the most conservative folks in government. I follows that perhaps they are acting based on their understanding of what is "right", since there is basically no strategic policy in regard to Somalia. It's a complete vacuum in terms of leadership and government control; that vacuum invites the CIA to run their version of the truth, as they see it should be.
It's just a theory.
marksb commented on the blog post Our Unilateral Counterterrorism Operations in Somalia
I read this and I don't see a "policy" at work. Seems more like a rogue operation. The thing that I wonder is if the CIA leadership in charge of this operation is coordinating in any useful way with the folks in the Administration and State that are charged with strategic policy. Who is dictating the mission, the rules of engagement, the communications channels, the coordination with the U.S. State Dept?

marksb commented on the blog post Feingold For Governor: Scott Walker & WI GOP's War On Good Beer
Red Tail Ale goes back to the Mendocino back-to-the-land/grow-your-own movement in the 70′s and early 80′s. My (then future) wife and I used to travel up there in maybe '84 and stop in at the Hopland Brewery back when it was the first or second licensed microbrewery in CA. Great food, great beer, great music.
Now it's moved up to Ukiah after being purchased by a (relatively small) company and becoming the Mendocino Brewing Company, and it's popularity has declined. I think that's because the sales group sucks, but perhaps that's just my view as a retailer.
Great beer, great memories.

Silly, didn't you know that if we don't have "boots on the ground", actually attacking an enemy, that it doesn't count as "hostilities"?
'Cause, you know, it all depends on what the definition of is, is. And torture isn't actually torture if we do it and it's for our Good Cause, and the people being tortured haven't worn the uniform of an actual declared enemy, and tapping data lines isn't illegal data mining if we are looking for specific terrorist targets, and and and.

Yeah. That'll scare the hackers. Since we have no way to secure the network at the moment, without killing contractor commerce.
marksb commented on the blog post Feingold For Governor: Scott Walker & WI GOP's War On Good Beer
Well that's stupid–and predictable. In addition to ice and other industrial products, I retail beer. Kegs of beer. What could be better than rolling up to a WWII warehouse and buying a bunch of ice, a keg of Stone IPA or Sierra Nevada, or Firestone DBA, or maybe something from a NorCal craft brewery like Lagunitas or Lost Coast or…the list is long and lovely, and includes a couple of excellent local brews.
Once upon a time the craft market in my ice house was small and specialized, but over the last few years the major breweries have had their sales seriously kicked in the teeth by the craft breweries (and the Mexican brews, especially Pacifico and Modelo.)
I'm not surprised that a state government bought and run by major corporate interests would go after craft brews. Makes as much sense as anything else they've done. Yup. Go after quality jobs, quality people, and quality beer.

In terms of contractors, the unkown would be who the actual operator of the monitoring would be, since the machines, code, and platforms are going to be from a very small group of vendors. Custom code and monitoring platforms could come into the picture, but only if they've been working for a couple of years of development on the blacker side of budgets, or are starting now for delivery in two years or so.
Of course the contractor is important, as you point out with HB Gary, since these kind of traffic analysis systems can be used for anyone, anywhere, and it would be soooo easy to throw some political targets into the mix…

The program uses NSA-developed "signatures," or fingerprints of malicious code, and sequences of suspicious network behavior to filter the Internet traffic flowing to major defense contractors. That allows the Internet providers to disable the threats before an attack can penetrate a contractor's servers. The trial is testing two particular sets of signatures and behavior patterns that the NSA has detected as threats.
Hm. This sounds to me like monitoring packet flow, watching for specific addresses and key words (pre-identified). If these are noticed, the traffic is sucked up for analysis.
I'm curious about "behavior patterns" and what that means. Who the email is sent to? What the email pertains to? It sounds like content monitoring to me, key words, patterns of words, maybe even usage and language.
In other words, it sounds like the Same Old Thing, and this is an attempt to legitimize it using some rather nifty law-enforcement-specific terms that no one who doesn't have something to hide would complain about…right?
