The Cobourg story / Celebrating our heritage and historical landmarks
Cobourg is a thriving community, expanding with new housing developments, industrial parkland and business incentive programs. Progress and growth are balanced by a strong commitment to preserving the town's rich and colourful heritage.
Architectural sites, tree-lined roads and notable town landmarks give Cobourg its character and charm – they are must-sees on the self-guided walking tour booklets available at the tourist office and kiosk. These streets are made for walking!
You can't miss, of course, the palatial Victoria Hall at the heart of town, with Grecian columns and a rising clock tower overlooking the lake. This 1860 National Historic Site, faithfully restored to its original glory in 1983, houses the court, municipal offices, a gallery and concert hall, and sets the stage for visitors. It was named in honour of Queen Victoria, and her son, the Prince of Wales, attended the official opening ceremonies and grand ball, cementing Cobourg's reputation as a centre of education and commerce along the waterway of Lake Ontario. Guided tours of Victoria Hall are offered year-round.
The town's early days began with the United Empire Loyalists clearing land in the area in 1798. They had left their homes in the American colonies for war and revolution, and Cobourg is reported to have been a military post during the War of 1812. A limestone building downtown, known as the Barracks, may have served as a soldiers' post, and is now the site of the Sifton-Cook Heritage Centre museum filled with artifacts and photos. The settlement was named Cobourg in 1819, marking the marriage of Princess Charlotte to Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, Germany, which is Cobourg's twin city today.
Development and prosperity followed as British immigrants and American industrialists built estate homes here, many of which you'll find along the quiet residential streets. Victoria College, constructed in 1832, later became one of Canada's first universities to grant degrees.
By the early 1900s, Cobourg was renowned as a fashionable resort town, famous for its good air quality to promote health. American tourists travelled across the lake by boat or the popular ferry from Rochester, and many built lavish summer residences. The social scene blossomed with polo matches, garden parties and the prestigious Cobourg Horse Show.
The resort tradition continues with a world-class marina and beach, music and garden tours, a hub of wellness practitioners, and much to see and do.
Check out the events listing or give us a shout at 1-888-262-6874.
Once fall sets, Cobourg is the perfect winter getaway and exploring the local landscape is an adventure. Take in the scenery and the fresh air.
Cobourg is bordered by the lake and trails and forests of Northumberland County. You'll discover something for everybody at fall events; crafts, fresh produce, home baking and entertainment galore! Life is Good in Cobourg!

David Krejci close to return as Bruins shake up lines in practice | 10.12.14 at 11:34 am ET |
David Krejci practiced and took contact Sunday, a promising step as he aims to return from what is believed to be a hip injury. After the practice, Claude Julien said Krejci hadn't been cleared to play, but could be cleared before Monday's game against the Avalanche. Both he and Krejci were optimistic about the center's return.
Krejci was joined on his line by usual linemate Milan Lucic and recent call-up Seth Griffith. It was one of multiple changes Claude Julien made to his lineup a day after saying he would "reevaluate" in wake of back-to-back losses.
By the looks of practice, out from the lineup are Matt Fraser and Bobby Robins. They were joined Gregory Campbell and Simon Gagne in green sweaters.
Jordan Caron appears to be in the lineup, replacing Robins.
The lines were as follows.
Extras: Fraser, Campbell, Robins, Gagne
Bruins send Craig Cunningham to Providence, recall Seth Griffith | 10.12.14 at 10:52 am ET |
The Bruins sent center Craig Cunningham to Providence and recalled right wing Seth Griffith Sunday.
Cunningham had been serving as Boston's fourth-line center as the team's bottom two lines struggled in the opening three games of the regular season. Given that Boston has scored just three goals in three seasons, recalling Griffith provides them with a scorer where they might need it. Griffith scored 33 goals in 54 OHL games two seasons ago before netting 20 in his first professional season last year in Providence.

Bruins leaders question work ethic, Claude Julien says he'll reevaluate lineup amidst early skid | 10.11.14 at 11:10 pm ET |
Complain about Chris Kelly's cap hit all you want, but he's the guy who's going to hold the Bruins accountable when they play as poorly as they have the last two games.
"It's tough to put into words," Kelly said after the Bruins were shut out by the Capitals for their second straight loss. "I think we were outworked, outbattled, and obviously outplayed over the course of 120 minutes, not just 60. I think the only positive I can think of is, it's game three. Other than that, it's two poor, poor efforts."
The Bruins barely had the puck in their 2-1 loss to the Red Wings Thursday, with Kelly saying after Saturday's blanking that guys haven't been working hard enough. Zdeno Chara said the B's were "embarrassed" Saturday and that their play is 'not acceptable.'
The Bruins' roster is obviously not at full strength. David Krejci is eligible to come off injured reserve and potentially return to the lineup Monday, but it's no sure thing that he does. Milan Lucic is coming off wrist surgery and is clearly not functioning at full capacity.
The fourth line has been more detrimental than it's been a source of energy. That's been made worse by the fact that the line playing above it (Lucic with Ryan Spooner and Matt Fraser) have done nothing. Bobby Robins and Ryan Spooner have put themselves in tough positions if they want to stay in the lineup. Fraser has also been a non-factor, but deserves to get a look on a line without Spooner, as he has the best shot among Bruins forwards and has shown promise when playing away from his former Providence linemate.
Asked if the weakened roster has to do with the team's struggles so far, Kelly said he didn't care who was playing where or with whom.
"It's a team-wide thing, it's not just a few guys. You guys can see it just as much as we can," Kelly said. "It's not a passing thing or a positioning thing, it's a working thing. It doesn't matter who you're playing with. You could play with two total strangers, and all you have to do is go out and work hard."
If Krejci is able to return for Monday, the Bruins might be wise to keep Lucic and Fraser together and have Krejci replace Spooner, who could either move to the fourth line as a center or wing or serve as an extra forward. They could also consider playing Jordan Caron on the fourth line right wing, a job currently held by Robins.
Asked after the game whether he feels he needs to make lineup changes, Julien hinted at the possibility.
"You certainly have to reevaluate," Julien said. "There's no doubt there, and guys are given chances, and so on and so forth. When you play two games like that, you have to reevaluate, and that's what we're going to do."
Bobby Robins' NHL career off to rough start | 10.11.14 at 10:32 pm ET |
Bobby Robins' dream to play in the NHL was an uphill climb before he got there. Three games into his NHL career, it's still an uphill climb for the 32-year-old.
Robins has been one third of a fourth line that has struggled for the Bruins, but his difficulty thus far hasn't just been limited to poor shifts. The longtime AHL fighter has gotten into two scraps this season, both of which were the result of hits for which he was penalized.
In Wednesday's season-opener, Robins took a minor penalty for charging that led to a fight with Luke Schenn. On Saturday, he took a kneeing penalty for a hit on Matt Niskanen in the offensive zone and then fought Michael Latta. The Capitals scored eight seconds into their power play for what would prove to be the game-winning goal in Washington's 4-0 shutout win.
Robins is a fourth-line player. His job is to be an energy player in the low minutes he receives. He has two minor penalties in three games this season. By comparison, Shawn Thornton, the man who held his job a season ago, had seven minor penalties all regular season (64 games).
"That's definitely not what I'm looking for," Robins said after Saturday's loss. "Refs call it pretty tight in this league, and that's something that I'm going to have to evolve my game and learn from and grow. That's something I'm working on."
Robins said he understands that he needs to make changes "right away," but his spot in the lineup could be in jeopardy for now. Without a doubt, Robins is a good piece to put in and out of your lineup depending on the opponent, but his play thus far and the Bruins' struggles to find offense could hurt his chances of staying in the lineup even if David Krejci doesn't return to the lineup.
Robins isn't alone in putting his spot in jeopardy for now. Ryan Spooner and Matt Fraser have been non-factors so far, though Fraser deserves a longer look, perhaps away from Spooner. The last two seasons have seen the two struggle together at the NHL level, though Fraser looked good on various lines in the preseason.
It took nine years of playing in various lesser leagues across multiple continents for Robins to reach the NHL, so it's hard to think a few bad games will get him down. Still, this should be a learning experience on which Robins should improve if he keeps his spot.
"This league is better, stronger, faster. It's quick." Robins said. "It's a quick league. Mistakes are magnified. When you're playing at the NHL level, you have to be really good every night. You have to be consistent and that's something I'm working on and trying to take pride in being consistently good out there."
Alexander Ovechkin scores twice as Bruins get blanked by Capitals | 10.11.14 at 9:28 pm ET |
The Bruins suffered their second consecutive loss as they fell to the Capitals, 4-0, Saturday at TD Garden. Braden Holtby stopped all 29 Bruins shots he saw.
After a Bobby Robins offensive zone penalty, Alexander Ovechkin scored a power play goal to give Washington a 1-0 lead at 11:26 of the first period. Ovechkin followed up with an even strength tally in front with 1:21 remaining in the first.
Washington extended its lead to 3-0 on its second power-play goal of the night, with Mike Green taking a feed across the zone from Evgeny Kuznetsov and one-timing it past Tuukka Rask. John Carlson beat Rask for Washington's final goal with just over a minute to play in regulation.
The Bruins will next play when they host the Avalanche Monday afternoon at TD Garden. David Krejci, who is eligible to come off injured reserve, could potentially return to the lineup then, though Claude Julien said Saturday morning that the player is day-to-day.
– Rask wasn't to blame for any of Washington's first three goals. Both of Ovechkin's goals were the result of blown coverage, while there wasn't much Rask could have done to get across his net in time to stop Green's one-timer.
The reigning Vezina winner has now allowed nine goals in nine periods this season.
– It's rare to see the Bruins allow a 5-on-5 goal with both Zdeno Chara and Patrice Bergeron on the ice, but such was the case on Ovechkin's second goal of the first period. Ovechkin joins Thomas Vanek, Henrik Zetterberg and Gustav Nyquist in the group of players to score a 5-on-5 goal against Boston's shutdown stars over the last three seasons.
– Bobby Robins fought for the second time in two home games, but both fights came as a result of a hit that got him penalized. On Saturday, it was a Robins knee to Matt Niskanen in the offensive zone that forced Michael Latta to stick up for his teammate, with Ovechkin scoring eight seconds into Washington's power play.
– As it has been thus far this season, Carl Soderberg's line was solid Saturday, facing some tough assignments against Ovechkin's line and not surrendering a goal to the trio. Soderberg also drew a second-period interference penalty on Brooks Orpik.
– At the very least, the Bruins fared better in terms of possession Saturday than they did in Thursday's disaster in Detroit. Specifically, Patrice Bergeron's line and Soderberg's line had good possession numbers in the game.
– The Bruins' bottom six is not good. The third line of Ryan Spooner between Milan Lucic and Matt Fraser has been non-existent through three games, while Craig Cunningham and Bobby Robins might be bringing Daniel Paille down a bit on the fourth line. Claude Julien switched Ryan Spooner and Chris Kelly halfway through the third period. Lucic's line had better shifts with Kelly than with Spooner. A trio of Soderberg with Spooner and Fraser allowed the fourth goal.
The good news is that can change as early as Monday with Krejci's potential return.
– Lucic was given a cross-checking minor and 10 minute misconduct for chasing down Green after taking a hit from Green along the boards late in the game.
– The Bruins have gone 0-for-8 on the power play over the last two games. With Krejci still out, Dougie Hamilton and Reilly Smith have had to double-shift on the point at times so far this season.
– Ovechkin could have secured a hat trick in the opening minutes of the third period, but Adam McQuaid was just able to get his stick on a pass to Ovechkin in front with half the net open.
– The Bruins' lineup in the game was as follows:
Marchand – Bergeron – Smith
Kelly – Soderberg – Eriksson
Lucic – Spooner – Fraser
Paille – Cunningham – Robins
Chara – McQuaid
Seidenberg – Hamilton
Krug – Miller
Brad Marchand thinks NHL's new diving fine policy is 'a little absurd' | 10.11.14 at 1:15 pm ET |
This season, the NHL is hitting accused divers where it hurts. Guess which Bruins player doesn't like that?
Under a new set of rules for this season, players will be given a warning for their first dive, a $2,000 fine for their second, a $3,000 fine for their third, a $4,000 fine for their fourth and a $5,000 fine for any and every dive after that.
They'll also likely find themselves in the doghouse, as coaches will be fined $2,000 if one of their players dives a fourth time, $3,000 if they dive a fifth time and $5,000 for any other dives.
Brad Marchand, a player with a track record of embellishment penalties, was given the first of the 2014-15 season Thursday night when he was sent off for selling a Henrik Zetterberg interference penalty. The penalty came on the first shift of the second period.
There was just one problem: Marchand didn't appear to dive on the play. It looked like, after passing the puck back to the point in the offensive zone, he was trying to avoid Zetterberg by jumping around him.

Both Marchand and Claude Julien took issue with the call, which in all likelihood shouldn't have been a penalty on either player. Whether Zetterberg even knew Marchand was there when they made contact is up for debate as well.
Dives — whether penalized or not — are reviewed before action is taken by the league's part. The Bruins have yet to hear whether Marchand has received a warning for the play, with Claude Julien saying Saturday that, to his knowledge, Marchand hadn't. The Bruins will know more soon, as a list comes out each week indicating which players have earned a strike.
Whether or not the clock has started on him, Marchand still opposes the league's new approach.
"I think the new rule is a little absurd," Marchand told WEEI.com Saturday. "It's all a judgment call by the referee. How do you judge how guys are on their balance, how they're on their skates? What if they're on one foot and on their turn a guy gets pushed? Does that mean that he has embellished?
"The fact that guys are going to start getting fined for it, I don't agree with that. It's all the discretion of the referee and you've got to try to play within the rules. We're going to try to find that line, but at end of the day, it's up to the referees with what they want to call, and you've got to live with it."
Though certain teams — the Bruins certainly among them – have played the "everyone dives but us" card over the years, the fact is that if you want to look for it, there's proof of selling calls with every team and many, many players throughout the league. Some are known more for it than others, and some of Marchand's more egregious falls, as well as closer calls, have earned him a reputation that might make keeping all of his $4.5 million salary more of an uphill climb this season.
Marchand is correct, however, when he questions what is is viewed as embellishment. He brought up a terrific example of a player grabbing his face when he has not been hit with a stick.
"There's no real definition of embellishing," Marchand said. "Even when a guy sees a stick up on his face, it happens so quick, it might not hit you, but at the same time, you're going to react to a stick up within inches of your face. It's just everyone's natural reaction. Sometimes it hits you, sometimes it may not. Yeah, you might think it's going to hit you and you move your head back and that's [considered] embellishing. It's just a natural reaction; you may not even mean to do it.
"That's where there's such a fine line between that rule. I'm not too fond of all the fining and all that, but if that's where it's going to go, then you've got to live with it."
Marchand knows he has a reputation for many things, and diving is among them. Of all the things for which he's known, Marchand says the "diver" label is the most infuriating.
"It is," he said. "Especially after a play like last game, I think it was an absolutely ridiculous call, and the fact that now I have a strike against me because of something like that [Editor's note: Said strike is TBD]. I don't think you can argue anything; I had my feet completely taken out from under me. What are you supposed to do there? It's a bit of a ridiculous call, but that's how it is."
Julien says that he has 'no doubt' that referees are more inclined to call such penalties on Marchand, but he puts that on the player.
"That's up to him to clean up that situation. He created it, right?' Julien said. "I think he's done a great job this year of staying focused and just playing his game. Whether he gets in the other team's kitchen or not, that's part of his game. But I think it's just about making sure you don't lose the respect of your referees by chirping or by continuing to do things after the whistle when they tell you to stop. I think that's where he's lost those guys a little bit. You can always redeem yourself, or you'd like to think players can, he's really tying to do that."
Julien has gone after other teams – specifically the Canadiens – in the past for embellishing. On Saturday, however, he admitted what many know to be true but don't always want to say: Everyone dives.
"I don't encourage embellishment. I don't want to see it. That doesn't mean it won't happen every once in a while on our team," Julien said. "Like anybody else, I just don't like it. Our players are clear on that. We're not clean; we do make those kind of mistakes every once in a while, and when it becomes an issue, it gets addressed.
"The league is doing a great job of trying to take that out of the game, and I think it's a real important thing to our game to take out because it really tarnishes what this game's all about."
Zdeno Chara gets stick to eye in morning skate | 10.11.14 at 12:06 pm ET |
Both Gregory Campbell and David Krejci participated in Saturday's morning skate, though neither will be on the ice when the Bruins host the Capitals at TD Garden Saturday night. Krejci is on injured reserve and is not eligible to play until Monday at the earliest, while Claude Julien said there is no timetable for Campbell, who has yet to be cleared for contact.
The B's survived an injury scare in practice when Milan Lucic and Zdeno Chara collided and Chara was hit in the eye by Lucic's stick. Chara was down for a moment before getting up and holding a towel over his face. Chara stayed on the ice for the rest of the skate.
Based on morning skate, the lineup for Saturday is unchanged from the first two games:
Marchand – Bergeron – Smith
Kelly – Soderberg – Eriksson
Lucic – Spooner – Fraser
Paille – Cunningham – Robins
Chara – Hamilton
Seidenberg – McQuaid
Krug – Miller

Remote Sensing with Linux
ImageLinks Inc., of Melbourne, Florida, processes large satellite and aerial images for commercial businesses. This job requires processing gigabytes of image data through computationally expensive algorithms for three-dimensional projections, image processing and complex data fusions. This article describes the conversion of ImageLinks to Linux and the resulting benefits.
In 1996, ImageLinks was allowed to commercialize previously classified government software. This consisted of over 5,000 source code files of object-oriented C++ code that was developed over a period of 15 years. The business was established on high-end SGI and Sun platforms with associated servers. We were leasing over a half-million dollar's worth of equipment, resulting in a monthly payment of over $15,000. Aside from the equipment, costs there were expensive proprietary-software licenses for compilers, tools and libraries. At the time, even memory upgrades had to be purchased through the vendor at a high cost so as not to invalidate our maintenance agreements.
Several of the technical staff were already using Linux on home machines, and we wondered what would be involved in porting our production software. After a discussion one day at lunch we decided to stop by the local computer parts store, purchased what we needed on the company credit card and started a backroom operation to port all of the code.
We installed Red Hat 5.2 and began the porting process. Over the next couple of months Dave Burken and Ken Melero passed the project back and forth, finding and correcting platform dependencies. At the time, the main roadblock was heavily templated code that the compiler didn't handle correctly. With the release and installation of Red Hat 6.0, the GCC compiler was able to handle the templates directly, and the porting effort was completed rapidly.
Our initial assumption was that a Linux port on Intel platforms would result in a much more cost-effective solution, but we didn't believe that the performance would match the higher-end workstations. Fortunately, we were wrong on the second assumption. The first indications that we would gain significant performance improvements on the Linux platforms were observed with the compilation times. A "make World" to compile all of the source code for our software would take anywhere from 10 to 12 hours on the SGI Indigo 2s. This same compilation was completed in less than two hours on a dual-processor Pentium box—even more telling was the size of the executables that was generated. The output from the gcc tools was generating executables that were approximately half the size of the proprietary compilers. This was an indication of the superior code optimization that was one of the many benefits of the open-source development tools. This performance was quite evident when we deployed a couple of test Linux machines into production. The most extreme example was cross-sensor image fusion runs.
Cross-sensor fusion products are made by combining different classes of satellite images in order to create a new product. For example, we often combine high-resolution black-and-white imagery with low-resolution multispectral (color) imagery. The images are typically acquired from different points of view, at different resolutions, scales and times. All of these factors are taken into consideration as complex transformations are performed in three-dimensional space to project from the satellite image to an internal three-dimensional model of the space. Once this is performed, intelligent resamplers traverse the three-dimensional model to combine the pixels into the desired map projection and scale. This involves the processing of gigabytes of digital image data through complex image processing and three-dimensional transforms. It was not unusual for some of these production runs to take a weekend of processing on the proprietary workstations. With the Linux machines, we have observed almost an order of magnitude increase in performance on these fusions. This dramatic increase is due to the higher performance of commodity hardware coupled with optimized code from the software tools.
The next major benefit came from applying Beowulf clusters to our production runs. Beowulf clusters can be simply explained as a bunch of computers linked together with commodity networking for a cost-effective supercomputing solution. Most installations use Linux boxes with optimized kernels that are linked together with Ethernet communications on a local network. One node is designated as the master node controlling the scheduling of the slave nodes and all communications with the outside world. In the past, supercomputers required the software to be handcrafted for the specific architecture of the supercomputer. Recent advances in parallel libraries such as PVM and MPI have made this task much more generic. With these libraries the programmers can identify areas of the code that can be made parallel. The libraries then take care of the details of mapping it to the super computer architecture. Fortunately, our algorithms are extremely CPU-intensive and coarsely parallel. In other words, the codes are dominated by floating point mathematical computations, and the problems can be split into parts that don't require significant communication between the processors. Our implementation involved segmenting the imagery into tiles and passing them out to different boxes for processing.
We built a 14-node cluster, wired PVM into our code and observed linear scaling in performance as we added processors to the cluster. A trace of the execution shows that there are brief periods of communication data passing to the nodes, then the nodes spend a considerable amount of time performing the necessary calculations. This turns out to be an ideal situation for the application of clustering—to go faster and push more data we can just add more processors. With the Beowulf cluster in place, the complex cross-sensor fusion jobs dropped another order of magnitude. Jobs that took a weekend on the proprietary machines, which were reduced to hours on a single Linux machine, can now run in minutes through the Beowulf cluster.
In addition to performance and cost, also our business has witnessed additional benefits including improved stability, documentation and rapid software updates.
Mark Lucas is the chief technical officer of ImageLinks Inc. He is the founder of remotesensing.org, which promotes open-source development of remote sensing and geographical information systems software. He has a BS in Electrical Engineering, an MS of Computer Science and is a retired officer from the United States Air Force.

I can see our Air Force utilizing Predators to aid us in the war in Iraq and other countries in the Middle East - regardless of anyone's views on the war, the potential to save more lives is always a plus for me. My love for both the Air Force and for Computer Science has led me to a little known program called the Air Force AU-ABC Program, I'm probably going to take my Linux knowledge and gravitate towards this: http://www.americansentinel.edu/Military/AirForce_AU-ABC.php
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

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

Like the title says, I'm lookin for my first 4 wheeldrive. I plan on getting a new truck by the end of the month. What should I look for or stay away from. I am hellbent on a Green or Black in either a 4door or the extended cab.
I will be doing some light off road hunting stuff but primarily daily transportation.
Not sure if I should go New or get a low mileage used truck. 2010, 2011 or 2012.
Any insight would be great. I have seen some great looking rigs on here though.

The Dean of Belfast's St Anne's Cathedral has said a group protesting close to the building are not having a "negative impact" on the cathedral.
The demonstrators are part of a worldwide protest - angry over what they believe is the western world's reliance on corporate greed.
Reverend Canon John Mann said the protesters were not interfering with the day-to-day runnings.
The small group have set up camp in Writer's Square opposite the cathedral on Donegall Street in Belfast city centre.
Reverend Mann added he was in regular contact with the 'Occupy Belfast' protesters.
"The people have been over and spoken to us and we have been over and spoken to them.
"We have shared things that they needed to borrow. I haven't felt any negative impact."
Reverend Mann's comments come after the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in London resigned following an ongoing protest outside its doors — forcing the cathedral to close.
The Right Reverend Graeme Knowles stepped down from his position yesterday following an Occupy London protest.
Last week, folk singer-songwriter Billy Bragg visited the Belfast protesters.

http://davidthompson.typepad.com/davidthompson/2007/02/blunting_the_se.html I would love to hear any thought-provoking responses from anyone who believes in the theory of cultural equivalence.
Most liberals, Bush Haters, progressives, socialists and left over Commies are always siding with the enemy of the America, if the White Christian Blue Collar Conservative American starts waving the flag these people get outraged. They will take the side of the Muslim because the Muslim is now the enemy of America, if you remember back after the attack on our country these people were complaining that we were waving to many Flags before the dust had even settled following 9/11, they wanted the showing of the pictures of 9/11 stopped because they made America MAD and because they offended the "Silent Muslim" and the "Silent Arabs" living in America, we now have a segment of the populace in America that will immediately support our enemy and blame their own country for everything that is wrong in the world, they are mostly if not all "new democrats" the gang of back stabbing skunks led by the Grinning She Devil Pelosi. Many of these New Traitors and Haters are outraged that America had the audacity to WIN WWII. I am no fan of the Christaian Pat Robinson's or Jerry Fallwell's but I will take them any day compared to the Bloodthirsty Savages From The Middle East. We are at war with the Radical Muslim Religion and they will be trying to kill you Progressive Liberal Bush Hating Democrats long after Bush and Aunt Nancy are gone, they will be killing your Grandchildren, so you better tap their phones, look in their sneakers and PROFILE them for the next fifty years, maybe more. GOD WILLING DEATH TO AMERICA TEAR AND CARVE THEIR INFEDEL BODIES UP KILL THEIR WOMEN AND CHILDREN----PRAISE ALLAH. HARRY BOY SAYS "F-CK YOU AND YOUR DONKEYS"
Extremist religious views whether it be Islam, Christian or Jew serves no one's purpose.. particularly when they influence gov't.. unfortunately in this country this line has gotten fuzzier and I think we are worse off for it. When candidates have to appeal to a specific religious right wing group of people, who are in the minority we all suffer.. for no reason except for some votes. I would like to see someone in this country with some big gonads just tell them they are respected, but there is a division between church and state.. I don't tell you what to believe, don't force your opinions on me. Probably will never happen as all candidates are panderer's. As far as Islam goes cannot understand, from my secular ways, how a life can be so dictated by a belief.. is it what you are supposed to do(cultural &family thing), forced to do(no choice& gov't intervention) or a true belief system. I also do not understand violence associated with any religion, as it seems counter to the base of religion. Do not care for any religious ifluence on the way my country is run, it is impossible for this to be implemented as religion enters so many facets of life, but it can be controlled.
Islam was founded 6 centuries after Christianity, and they're about 6 centuries behind. Christianity circa 1407 = Islam circa today.
It's hard to compare cultures. Judeo-Christian culture doesn't commit crimes in the name of God the way that Islamic culture does, but nonetheless Judeo-Christian culture managed to create and empower Hitler, King Leopold, Mussolini, Stalin, Franco, Pinochet, and others. While no Christian in his right mind would want to consider any of those men Christians, there are many Arabs who feel the same way about their own extremists. I think it makes sense that cultural equivalence exists, but the comparisons are more complex than just the modes of attack. While Muslim culture has given rise to psychopaths who intentionally kill women and children, become suicide bombers, and target civilians; Judeo-Christian culture has given rise to psychopaths who lead state militaries to commit terrible crimes. Both religions give rise to good and bad.
Stalin studied to be a priest, but my real point is that somehow Judeo-Christian culture produced its own share of people every bit as bad as Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein (who, by the way, was very secular up until the '91 war). So, when we're talking about cultural equivalence, I think it's fair to say that Judeo-Christian culture has produced as many, if not more, evil people as Islamic culture.
A culture is dominated by a worldview. Everyone has a philosophy or worldview. Each worldview is fixed upon something which it worships. For instance, enviromentalists worship nature. Humanists worship man. Islam worships Allah. Communism worships the state. For some, money is their "god." William James, the pragmatic, worshiped the pragmatic method and attributed the pronouns "she" and her" to his worldview. Pragmatism was his goddess. To combine Communism and Christianity as one culture is to ignore history. After all, it is Communism that said Christianity is the opium of the massess.
Stalin did not come of age in a Communist country. He came of age in a nation that was predominantly Christian. I'm not saying Stalin was a Christian, but he was a byproduct of that culture.

Dear Marygrove Alumni and Friends,
This is the October 2011 issue of Marygrove Minute -- Marygrove College's way of keeping you up-to-date on the College's news and events. Marygrove Minute is meant to supplement The Tower Times, our alumni print publication, which is published three times annually.
Marygrove Minute is a collaborative effort between Marygrove's Alumni Relations and Communications and Marketing departments. We hope you enjoy it!
Join us for an engaging perspective from two speakers —Kiva donor and a Kiva recipient. Detroit is the first Kiva City in the United States, a program where Kiva works with community organizations to provide microloans to small businesses. Kiva Detroit is the product of a partnership between Michigan Corps, ACCION USA, Knight Foundation and Kiva International.
co-chair of the Kiva Detroit Board became involved with Kiva while he was a professor at the University of Michigan. An entrepreneur, a pastor, and former elected political official, he also serves on the Knight Foundation Advisory Board.
co-chair of Kiva Detroit, is an inaugural recipient of a Kiva Detroit loan, which is being used to launch Thrive Detroit Street newspaper. She is a Project Manager and Program Director for the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program, funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
What used to be a dusty, cramped room for storage will now be filled with hope, healing, and laughter. Marygrove's Women's Center, now established in room 030 of the Liberal Arts Building, offers a sanctuary of resources, from assault crisis hotlines and Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender/Questioning (LGBTQ) support networks to information on academic curriculum and programming in women's studies. Where stacked chairs once collected dust, now sit several shelves of books available for check-out, from history to self-help. Two cozy couches and lounge chairs have replaced the area once reserved for cluttered desks and printers. The once barren walls now wear the proud artwork of female artists, including a cycling display of canvas paintings.
"We envision that the Women's Center might come to be known among students as a kind of oasis where they can stop by to browse and stay to study regardless of their majors, in a safe, rigorous, and supportive environment," said Darcy Brandel, assistant professor of English.
The Center is open to men and women from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. Work-study students, like Veronica Johnson will greet you with a big, warm smile, offering aid and resources. Johnson, a social work major, has a drive to help those who need it most.

My whole family thinks this parasheet is terrific. The little sack it folds up into is lightweight and easy to carry. The sand pockets anchor it easily on the beach no matter how windy the day is. It stays cool and dries very fast. At the end of the day you just stuff it back into its sack, where it's all ready for the next trip. Compared with the cost of other large beach blankets, I found the parasheet at about $40 to be a very good value.
I live near Siesta Beach, Sarasota FL where the sand is very fine and soft and sticks to towels and blankets. I was amazed that NO SAND sticks to this great product. I love the pockets in the four corners that you can fill with sand to hold it down on windy days. Also it's huge and can fit 3 people comfortably.
I live near the beach and was looking for a light weight beach blanket. Something big enough for two adults. The blanket is lightweight and has an attached carrying bag. Just fold stuff and go. Nothing sticks to it and it washes up great. Would definately recommend it for those that love the outdoors, lakes, beaches, secluded romantic spots.
This is a great beach blanket. We purchased this and took it on our vacation with us. Packing it was very easy (we were on a motorcycle) and it fits inside of the pouch that is attached to it.The sand does not stick to the blanket at all, we really enjoyed using this at the beach!
OMG! So worth the price. I llive on the beach, and really.. the sand does NOT stick to this...at all. spills bead up and roll off.. Love it!, Matches the Caribe cabana perfectly. and super easy to roll up and stuff back into attached storage pocket.
Bought this to use for various trips - park, concerts and beach... it has found a great use at all of them. so happy I got this. it rolls up to almost nothing and can fit in your backpack or suitcase, very happy "camper"!!
This is a great beach blanket that you can easily carry with you. It is easy to shake the sand off and put away too. Price is right!
My husband and I both love this. We live on the beaches of west Michigan and used it all summer long. Perfect for laying out, picnicing on sand...will be very helpful next summer when we taken out ten month old to the beach. Easy to fold up, clean, store etc.
this is the perfect beach blanket for 2 without taking up too much space in your bag, Easy to pull out and so simple to bag up again. You don't go home with sand and that is a HUGe plus
Cleans easy, very lightweight. Packed it in a suitcase for vacation and it didn't way anything down. Washes easy too!

There are at least nine reasons to see "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," and here's one more: It's a can't-miss affair for fans of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
The ABC and Marvel TV series focuses on the miraculously resurrected Agent Phil Coulson and his hand-selected squad of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, as they travel the globe and work together to stop nefarious forces, like the as-yet unidentified Clairvoyant. The events of this weekend's "Captain America" sequel are sure to shake the foundation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but no property will feel those effects more profoundly and immediately than "S.H.I.E.L.D." — as soon as tonight's new episode, titled "End of the Beginning."
"Anyone who sees this movie is going to want to see our show," said Chloe Bennet, who plays computer hacker Skye . "There's a huge, huge tie-in."
Indeed there is: "Winter Soldier" features some game-changing shifts in the greater Marvel Universe that "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," by its very title and nature, cannot avoid.
"One thing that Marvel has been very clear about is, we're all connected," said Clark Gregg, the man behind Coulson, and the actor who has logged the most screen-time in the live-action Marvel Universe by leaps and bounds. "There's nothing that happens on our show that isn't true in the bigger world of the Marvel movies, and there's nothing that isn't true in the Marvel movies that isn't true for us."
To hear it from Elizabeth Henstridge, the actress who plays S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist Jemma Simmons, the "Captain America" fallout has been seeded throughout the entire first season of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," adding a lot of re-watch value.
"Looking back on it, our show has been leading up to this," she said. "Once we get to the end of the season, and you start rewatching, you'll see all of these little clues along the way."
We won't spoil the big "Captain America" twist for you here, though it's not hard to find online, since the film was released internationally last week. Suffice it to say, if you're an "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." loyalist, then "Winter Soldier" is required viewing. And that's not the only thing that's required.
"Everyone should go get Depends adult diapers," said Bennet, "because they're all going to be sh—ing themselves."
Prepare for the "Captain America" fallout with tonight's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," airing at 8PM ET/PT.

On Jan. 15, when the DVD version of box office smash Pearl Harbor hits the shelves, audiences will be able to see a more violent version of the film, a version truer to director Michael Bay's vision, reports USA Today.
"I would have liked to have made this movie more violent," Bay is cited as saying at the movie's opening in May by the national newspaper.
Bay was forced to keep the horror in Harbor to a minimum--if 45 minutes of a Japanese suicide bombing run is a "minimum"--based upon his agreement with Disney that the film would be able to garner a PG-13 rating. The deluxe DVD set, containing three disks, will include an R-rated version of the film that has not been seen yet.
The Pearl Harbor deluxe DVD set will be initially priced at $39.99.

I've been noticing more and more people with skin tight clothing wearing huge OWB holsters. I notice it a lot during the summer months around here. Just the other day it got really warm and i saw a dude doing it with what appeared to be a 1911...I swear i could almost read the model number and brand of his holster through his shirt.
Do people do this out of laziness? Or possibly trying to look cool or intimidating? Maybe some just like pushing the limits of what's allowed...Is it a comfort thing?
Does anyone else notice people doing this? Do you ever carry "concealed" like this?

Two executives of Sonova Holding AG resigned Wednesday following an inquiry into the Swiss hearing-aid manufacturer's timeliness in issuing a profit warning, leading investigators to suspect insider trading.
Sonova, the leader in its industry in terms of sales, is the parent company to Santa Clarita-based Advanced Bionics, manufacturer of the profitable HiRes Cochlear Implant, which Sonova acquired in 2009.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
Advanced Bionics executives were not available for comment.
According to a company release, Sonova Chief Executive Officer Valentin Chapero and Chief Financial Officer Oliver Walker resigned today. Andy Rihs also stepped down from his position as chairman, but remains on the board.
On March 16, Sonova slashed its earnings forecast in light of the November recall of its Advanced Bionics cochlear implant, slowed production of traditional products and the strength of the Swiss franc.
Yet before the announcement was made, Sonova had hired the law firm Homburger AG to look into recent activity by company directors and managers who sold about 2.4 million shares and warrants beginning February 1. One non-executive reportedly sold shares worth nearly 40 million francs (about $43 million).
The Homburger investigation concluded that Sonova executives had failed to institute a blackout period for trading shares and options before its March 16 announcement.
On Wednesday, Sonova stock fell as much as 9.4 percent, according to data supplied by the SIX Swiss Exchange.

We absolutely love renting a little beach house on the North Shore of Oahu near Haleiwa. It is a little slice of heaven. In the winter you can watch the surfers from your own lanai. You definitely don't get the nightlife that you would in Honolulu, but it is one of the beast places in the world to unwind. The cost of renting some of these homes are less than what you pay for a hotel in Honolulu. So many people go to Oahu and just stay in Honolulu that they miss out on this simple beauty. report a problem

Just wanted to post an update of the idea I cooked up a ways back to upgrade my current armor carrier. I have a new low vis one coming tomorrow that holds standard plates, so maybe these will go in that, not sure yet. At any rate, here's where I'm at now.
I have a US Palm Defender with one Level IIIa soft panel in the front. Pretty entry level, my first foray into body armor. It has mag pouches and a holster; my idea is to have it as a 'bump in the night' rig that can hold my HK USP45, a couple spare mags and a Surefire flashlight. Everything in one place, quick to don and offering some protection. Turns out there's plenty of room for 10" x 12" steel plates in there. I initially put the steel plates in the front and back panels of the carrier, with the stock kevlar plate over the front. My thinking is that it might stop a round on its own but mostly it would contain splatter. But I wanted to do something like the poster did in the thread I linked.
So I picked up some 350 denier kevlar fabric, some Loktite spray adhesives and set out to wrap my plates. First minor hurdle, and one that I should have foreseen- anything made to stop bullets is probably gonna be tough to cut with regular scissors! So I picked up a pair of shears made for kevlar and went to work.
Here's a few pics of what I have so far:
Right now I have five layers IIRC. I have enough kevlar to make maybe 15 wraps; I will divide them between the two panels. Spall/splatter is probably a bigger deal on the front plate for a couple reasons. First off, I don't plan to clear my house if there's a break in but rather hunker down in a safe room. If I do have to confront an intruder chances are the threat will be in front of me given the layout of my home. Secondly there's more important body stuff on the front side; spatter there would hit my chin, neck, and arms, and maybe my legs. In back probably crap would possibly hit by butt/hips but probably not my legs or arms. The plan is to do maybe 8-9 layers on the front plate and 4-6 on the back.
I realize a lot (most?) of you don't care much about armor but I think it's a sensible option, and it's kind of cool to monkey around with!
One last note: The kevlar doesn't have to stop bullets! It's glued over Brinell 500 steel plate armor. The kevlar's job is just to contain bullet fragments and mitigate splash.

Ride With Pride: Well, It Won't Fix Itself: Part 3
The ego-inflating way to fix a flat...
By Scott Sutherland
When I'm in the middle of a race and I get a flat, I have to fix it myself," says ultradistance mountain-biking champion John Stamstad. "Not to win, but just to finish." Where Stamstad rides, that can be quite a haul. He won last year's lung-searing Leadville 100 (that's miles) mountain-bike race and is the defending two-time champion of Alaska's 200-mile Iditabike. But even if your rides are shorter, some Stamstad-style self-sufficiency is a good idea. "I carry two spare tubes, one or two tire levers, speed patches, and a pump," says Stamstad. Similarily armed, you're ready to heal your tread.
1. Hang your bike by its saddle from a tree limb or fence post. If you must leave it on the ground, keep your chain out of the dirt.
2. For a flat in the rear, move your chain onto the smallest rear cog to get it out of the way before taking the wheel off. Then, for either tire, undo the brake, loosen the quick-release skewer, and remove the wheel.
3. Use the tire levers to pry the tire from the rim. Remove the bead on one side of the rim only.
4. Make sure that whatever caused the flat isn't still stuck there. Pump air into the tube to determine the area of the puncture and check the tire -- inside and out -- for the culprit. Remove the tube.
5. If you patch the tube, rough the puncture site with the sandpaper provided in the patch kit (this will help the patch to hold). Glue a patch in place.
6. Inflate the new or patched tube just enough to give it shape, and then seat it inside the rim (it's easiest if you start at the valve). Reinstall the tire's bead inside the rim -- by hand if possible, with levers if necessary.
7. Check to make sure the tire's bead isn't pinching the tube. "If you inflate the tube while it's pinched," says Stamstad, "you'll have another flat in no time."
8. Inflate the tube, reinstall the wheel, and wipe your grungy hands on your shorts.

POSTED: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 - 5:38pm
UPDATED: Friday, August 2, 2013 - 1:20pm
Efforts to block Obamacare during upcoming debt ceiling negotiations have caused a very public disagreement among Republicans.
We know where Texas' junior Senator stands, but how about our senior Senator?
Senator Cornyn's position on the upcoming debt ceiling strategy has been evolving.
And that's an issue some of our viewers have questions about.
The fight over health care reform has produced a new strategy.
Senator's Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio and 13 others sent a letter to the Democratic leadership saying they would tie a vote for the debt ceiling increase to a defunding of Obamacare.
Some in their own party feel that's a losing position.
The fight has gotten ugly with Senator Cruz calling Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma a part of the "Surrender Caucus."
So, the big question for some Texans is, where does our senior Senator John Cornyn stand?
He initially signed the debt ceiling letter, then asked that his name be removed.
Today, his office gave me this statement…
"After reviewing Sen. Lee's letter, Sen. Cornyn feels the best approach to defund Obamacare is Sen. Cruz's bill to do so and Sen. Cornyn is an original cosponsor of this bill. If there is a government shutdown as Sen. Lee's letter promotes, most of Obamacare would still be funded and we would still have the same problem on our hands."
They are referring to Cruz's "Defund Obamacare Act of 2013," proposed earlier in the month, not the debt ceiling strategy.
Cornyn's office told us, he would not be available for a comment.

text: Hi y'all. First I wanna thank you for making a great livecd. Then I'd like to tell how I used it with my Toshiba Satellite 200cds. It cannot boot from cd, and smart boot manager doesn't recognize the cd drive. I tried making a two-floppy system that could chroot into the cd. It became kinda good, but no matter what I tried, it had the kernel bug of not proceeding into init on 586. Tried several kernel versions.. Then I gave up for some months. I got used to DSL, a nice small distro. By messing with it I learned lots of booting live cds. -- So now I was able to boot LFS livecd (6.2-3) on this lappy! I booted a single-floppyer known to boot well and have iso9660 fs support, Zool 4. In it I copied the contents of /boot/isolinux of the livecd into /boot of the HD. Then I booted DSL with it's boot floppy to install grub. And by DSL methods: set up grub to boot that livecd kernel, with the same initramfs, and it booted. So, solution for non-cd-booting comps: Boot from HD with the same files and load the data from CD, like one of DSL's possible installs. I only subscribed to tell this, so if you have comments or stuff, please CC me. I'm now off to building LFS 6.2 on this lappy: P1-100Mhz!

Two children wander
Through worlds they don't know,
Playing hide-and-seek.
One is a boy and one is a girl.
The girl is a ghost who still stares through his eyes,
And her brother's a boy
Who can't stay awake.
Perhaps she's fed him poison,
An apple from all the fables,
Self-knowledge that grows on a tree.
Some may call her monster,
Some may say she's murdered;
But all she wants
Is the life she lost
Before she was even born...
Crisscross lines leave it all confused,
The question of who is who;
The mask is the maze, and every cut corner
Just leads to another wall.
The easy route is what she always seeks,
But she's forced to turn around.
Spinning her secrets,
And spinning in circles,
She can't seem to capture
A direction, one road,
So she claims there's no way out.
When they ask who she is, she smiles and lies,
Because that's what she's trained to do.
Her reasoning falls to shattered glass
When she admits that she's afraid.
Were it not for fear, these starless shoals
Would finally see some light.
The shattered glass makes misery's mirror,
A reflection remade by her own design.
She gathers pieces of her own soul, now broken,
In the hopes that it may be mended.
But she's half of what she should be,
And her stars will never shine
Without someone to set them awake and ablaze,
An image upon the waves...
For this is where she wanders,
The shores and shoals of starlight.
Her ghostly form ripples,
Sparkling like water,
As she stares through tearless eyes.
She's become so used to a starless sky
That her mind has drifted to darker lands.
But a whisper is carried
By a sudden gust of wind,
Neither warm nor cold,
Neither good nor bad.
It is simply meant to be heard.
And when she hears it,
Those words softly spoken,
Her eyes turn upward
Toward the starry sky...
She hadn't seen the stars,
But they'd been watching all along...
You are not forgotten,
The stars seem to say.
You have not vanished...
You are here in this world,
You exist in this world,
And we will never leave you...
So as she lies there, on starlit sand,
On the shores of starlight shoals...
The ghostly girl, who no one saw,
Can finally shed some tears.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A computer worm is a standalone malware computer program that replicates itself in order to spread to other computers.[1] Often, it uses a computer network to spread itself, relying on security failures on the target computer to access it. Unlike a computer virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program.[2] Worms almost always cause at least some harm to the network, even if only by consuming bandwidth, whereas viruses almost always corrupt or modify files on a targeted computer.
Many worms that have been created are designed only to spread, and do not attempt to change the systems they pass through. However, as the Morris worm and Mydoom showed, even these "payload free" worms can cause major disruption by increasing network traffic and other unintended effects. A "payload" is code in the worm designed to do more than spread the worm—it might delete files on a host system (e.g., the ExploreZip worm), encrypt files in a cryptoviral extortion attack, or send documents via e-mail. A very common payload for worms is to install a backdoor in the infected computer to allow the creation of a "zombie" computer under control of the worm author. Networks of such machines are often referred to as botnets and are very commonly used by spam senders for sending junk email or to cloak their website's address.[3] Spammers are therefore thought to be a source of funding for the creation of such worms,[4][5] and the worm writers have been caught selling lists of IP addresses of infected machines.[6] Others try to blackmail companies with threatened DoS attacks.[7]
Backdoors can be exploited by other malware, including worms. Examples include Doomjuice, which can spread using the backdoor opened by Mydoom, and at least one instance of malware taking advantage of the rootkit and backdoor installed by the Sony/BMG DRM software utilized by millions of music CDs prior to late 2005.[8][dubious ]
Beginning with the very first research into worms at Xerox PARC, there have been attempts to create useful worms. Those worms allowed testing by John Shoch and Jon Hupp of the Ethernet principles on their network of Xerox Alto computers. The Nachi family of worms tried to download and install patches from Microsoft's website to fix vulnerabilities in the host system—by exploiting those same vulnerabilities.[9] In practice, although this may have made these systems more secure, it generated considerable network traffic, rebooted the machine in the course of patching it, and did its work without the consent of the computer's owner or user. Regardless of their payload or their writers' intentions, most security experts regard all worms as malware.
Several worms, like XSS worms, have been written to research how worms spread. For example, the effects of changes in social activity or user behavior. One study proposed what seems to be the first computer worm that operates on the second layer of the OSI model (Data link Layer), it utilizes topology information such as Content-addressable memory (CAM) tables and Spanning Tree information stored in switches to propagate and probe for vulnerable nodes until the enterprise network is covered.[10]
Worms spread by exploiting vulnerabilities in operating systems. Vendors with security problems supply regular security updates[11] (see "Patch Tuesday"), and if these are installed to a machine then the majority of worms are unable to spread to it. If a vulnerability is disclosed before the security patch released by the vendor, a zero-day attack is possible.
Users need to be wary of opening unexpected email,[citation needed] and should not run attached files or programs, or visit web sites that are linked to such emails. However, as with the ILOVEYOU worm, and with the increased growth and efficiency of phishing attacks, it remains possible to trick the end-user into running malicious code.
Anti-virus and anti-spyware software are helpful, but must be kept up-to-date with new pattern files at least every few days. The use of a firewall is also recommended.
In the April–June, 2008, issue of IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing, computer scientists describe a potential new way to combat internet worms. The researchers discovered how to contain the kind of worm that scans the Internet randomly, looking for vulnerable hosts to infect. They found that the key is for software to monitor the number of scans that machines on a network sends out. When a machine starts sending out too many scans, it is a sign that it has been infected, allowing administrators to take it off line and check it for malware.[12][13] In addition, machine learning techniques can be used to detect new worms, by analyzing the behavior of the suspected computer.[14]
The actual term "worm" was first used in John Brunner's 1975 novel, The Shockwave Rider. In that novel, Nichlas Haflinger designs and sets off a data-gathering worm in an act of revenge against the powerful men who run a national electronic information web that induces mass conformity. "You have the biggest-ever worm loose in the net, and it automatically sabotages any attempt to monitor it... There's never been a worm with that tough a head or that long a tail!"[15]
On November 2, 1988, Robert Tappan Morris, a Cornell University computer science graduate student, unleashed what became known as the Morris worm, disrupting a large number of computers then on the Internet, guessed at the time to be one tenth of all those connected[16] During the Morris appeal process, the U.S. Court of Appeals estimated the cost of removing the virus from each installation was in the range of $200–53,000, and prompting the formation of the CERT Coordination Center[17] and Phage mailing list.[18] Morris himself became the first person tried and convicted under the 1986 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.[19]
