Facing up to the security challenge: Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) and Registered Traveler (RT).
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
by Steve Parsons
Transportation workers in our nation's maritime transportation environments will soon be issued a "biometric transportation security card" as required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) 2002 (http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-m/mp/pdf/MTSA.pdf).
TSA and USCG are working hand-in-hand to bring the long-awaited TWIC card to the nation's transportation workers, and according to DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff, it will begin this year (http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/display?content=5551).
The current scope of the proposed rule includes maritime facilities, vessels, and outer continental shelf activities; however, the government is soliciting comments from the public on whether or not the TWIC should be expanded to include all modes of transportation as intended.
TSA and USCG recently completed a series of four informative public hearings to give voice to those affected by the proposed rule. The transcripts from the four public hearings as well as comments from affected stakeholders can be found on the DOT Docket Management System (http://dms.dot.gov/search/document.cfm?documentid=398320&docketid=24191).
According to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/14mar20010800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2006/pdf/06-4508.pdf), the TWIC will be issued to more than 750,000 transportation workers. It will be a smart card that is the size of a credit card and will include security features that help make it tamper-resistant and difficult to counterfeit. The card is good for five years and will cost workers or companies between $95 and $149 per card. Those who have recently undergone a security threat assessment by TSA would receive their TWIC at a reduced cost. The replacement cost within the 5-year period is expected to be $36.
The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) indicates that "all of the significant components of the TWIC system align with FIPS 201-1," the implementing standard for Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12), Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/08/20040827-8.html).
TSA's decision to align the TWIC with FIPS 201 is a noteworthy decision, but not a surprise as TSA and its contractors helped write FIPS 201. Although FIPS 201 is targeted for federal employees and contractors, TSA should be commended for its decision to leverage existing investments to support related requirements such as those promulgated by HSPD-12.
Vessel and facility owner/operators have many new responsibilities under the proposed TWIC rule. Affected facilities must submit a TWIC Addendum to their security plans and be operating in accordance with the TWIC provisions, generally within one year after publication of the final rule. The facilities must have at least one operational TWIC reader--a biometric reader--to enable biometric identity verification. During heightened Maritime Security (MARSEC) levels, additional levels of authentication would be required.
Although the Final Rule is not yet published, the TWIC processes can be expected to generally follow those demonstrated during Phase III, Prototype. The first step in the process is expected to be employee certification.
The first step will be a certification by the transportation worker that they have a legitimate need for unescorted access to secure areas. Once the transportation worker certifies their need for unescorted access, the next step is pre-enrollment.
Pre-enrollment is intended to begin the full enrollment process--in advance of actually visiting an enrollment facility. Although pre-enrollment is optional, it is highly recommended because it reduces the time required during full-enrollment. Using a computer with Internet access, applicants can pre-enroll on-line. Once the applicant completes the pre-enrollment process, the next step is enrollment--the applicant's first face-to-face interaction.
The most critical component to any secure identification process is enrollment. TSA or its contractors will serve as Trusted Agents (TAs) during the enrollment process where they will collect biographic and biometric information from applicants. TAs receive special training and undergo background checks before performing their duties. TSA indicates that it intends to use a mix of fixed and mobile enrollment options to reach the intended populations. The mobile enrollment option will be particularly important to enroll hard-to-reach populations and where existing infrastructure (eg, physical space, power, and communications) is not yet available.
During enrollment, the applicant will present the required identity documents to the TA who will, in turn, review and check the documents for authenticity, then scan and retain to support re-issuance. The next step is collection of biometric samples (ie, fingerprints) and a digital photograph.
Using live-scan biometric readers, the applicant's fingers and thumbs will be scanned and collected. The process is similar to the old "ink and roll" process, but today--it's digital. In the case of amputees, missing digits (ie, finger, thumb), or poor samples, TSA is expected to have alternatives available to support biometric-based identity verification.
Once the TA has collected the required information, the applicant's enrollment record is electronically secured and encrypted, then sent to the TSA ID management system (IDMS) for processing.
The TWIC IDMS is the secure repository for cardholder information and where all identity vetting and screening is initiated. Pertinent parts of the applicant's enrollment record will be used to conduct a criminal history records check, a name-based terrorist threat assessment, and an immigration check. In addition, the biometric samples collected during enrollment will be used to conduct a one-to-many (1:N) search to ensure that the applicant is not already in the TWIC system--perhaps fraudulently by a different name or alias.
This 1:N search is a critical capability that distinguishes the TWIC Program from other "identity management" programs and is a very strong deterrent to fraudulent or duplicate enrollments.
Once required checks are complete and if the applicant is qualified to receive a TWIC, appropriate parts of the enrollment record are sent to the government's card production facility.
The TWIC is produced (ie, personalized) in a central government card production facility. During personalization, the applicant's information is placed onto the TWIC. This information includes biometric templates, minimal biographical information, and a cardholder-unique ID. Unlike the perpetual and troublesome social security number, the cardholder-unique ID will be re-generated upon re-issuance of the TWIC--at least every five years.
Once the card is produced, it will be shipped to the appropriate enrollment center. Upon receipt at the enrollment center, the Trusted Agent will acknowledge receipt, thereby electronically notifing the applicant that the card is ready for activation and issuance.
Card activation is anticipated to be the last government-controlled step of the application and issuance process. This step is the second face-to-face transaction between the applicant and the TA. The transportation worker will present his personal ID and conduct a biometric 1:1 match to the card and system to confirm that he is the rightful owner of the card. If the one-to-one match is successful, the TA can then issue the TWIC to the worker.
Once the transportation worker has his/her credential, it is an activated TWIC good for access nowhere. This is an important point to make because possession of the TWIC alone does not mean you also have carte blanche access to any secure area of a vessel or facility.
Vessel and Facility owner/operators retain the authority to grant or deny access to their facilities. Typically, Facility Security Officers would register the cardholder and valid TWIC in the local access control system. Once access is granted, the authorized individual could use the TWIC for unescorted access to that area.
The long-awaited TWIC implementation means new opportunities for the nation's transportation industry. The TWIC promises to provide expanded opportunities to enhance security and commerce, especially for Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives (AA&E). These are just a few possibilities:
* Ability to associate (link) vehicle operators/passengers with their conveyance.
* Facilitate secure and efficient access into secured or controlled environments (ie, installations, strategic ports, depots, or staging areas).
* In-cab integration of the TWIC with other commercial applications to include communications, Global Positioning System, and vehicle itself.
* Interoperability and integration with DOD Physical Security programs.
* TWIC as company "badge" for both physical and logical (cyber) access control.
"As envisioned, the TWIC program represents a significant milestone in the adoption of both smart-cards and biometrics," said Paul Collier, Executive Director of the Biometric Foundation. "The strong chain-of-trust model for card issuance, coupled with the biometric ensures positive identification in visitor control, as well as physical and logical access control applications. In addition, the size and scope of the TWIC program not only makes it the largest civil credential program ever deployed by the federal government, but it will also provide a major portion of the necessary infrastructure to foster widespread adoption of biometrics across the entire transportation sector."
Verification and authentication are tomorrow's watchwords as our nation moves to more trustworthy, secure, and reliable forms of personal identification. Whether you are a transportation worker, registered traveler, first responder, licensed vehicle operator, or DOD employee, the trust and veracity of our identity documents and business processes are paramount to protecting individuals and enhancing our nation's security. TWIC moves us in that direction.

Registered Traveler
by Colleen Chamberlain
Congress, in the 2001 Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA), authorized the Registered Traveler (RT) concept as a means to "establish requirements to implement trusted passenger programs and use available technologies to expedite security screening of passengers who participate in such programs."
In 2004, the Transportation Security Administration conducted RT pilot programs at five airports: Minneapolis-St. Paul, Los Angeles, Houston Bush, Boston Logan, and Washington Reagan National. The TSA pilots ended in September 2005. A public-private sub-pilot was established at Orlando International Airport and is still operating today.
In June 2005, the Registered Traveler Interoperability Consortium (RTIC) was formed by a group of airports in conjunction with the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE). Today, more than 70 airports belong to the RTIC, a roster of which can be found on www.rtconsortium.org. Recognizing the value of the registered traveler concept, the airports agreed to work together to leverage existing airport resources and the AAAE's Transportation Security Clearinghouse (TSC) to facilitate a permanent, interoperable, and vendor-neutral RT program in the United States.
A permanent, interoperable RT program depends on the implementation of a technical, operational, and business model capable of supporting the needs of individual airports, while providing the common infrastructure that allows passengers to use this capability at any participating airport. As a result, the main objective of the RTIC is to develop the common set of technical standards and processes necessary for an open, secure, and industry-driven RT program. In developing these standards, the RTIC will focus on six themes:
* Improving security;
* Expediting passenger processing;
* Creating passenger screening consistency;
* Reducing the passenger "hassle factor;"
* Developing an interoperable system that can be used nationwide; and
* Coordinating with TSA and other partners interested in Registered Traveler.
In October 2005, the airport members of the RTIC announced the formation of a Service Provider Council. The Service Provider Council was established as a way for service providers to participate in the development of the technical standards and processes required for an interoperable RT program.
The Service Provider Council draws on the expertise and experience of more than 60 well known and respected commercial organizations that specialize in, among other things, registered traveler solutions, smartcards, biometrics, identity management, security, and airport management. The Service Provider Council is open to any commercial organization interested in participating. A roster of the Service Provider Council can also be found on www.rtconsortium.org.
In January 2006, the RTIC and its Service Provider Council submitted three detailed responses to the TSA's request for information on RT on 1) technical interoperability, 2) common business processes, and 3) financial standards. The RTIC responses outlined a consensus framework for the rapid deployment of a sustainable, biometrically enabled, and interoperable RT program. In addition, the RTIC responses detailed a public-private business model that utilizes a non-proprietary, open-architecture approach and creates a fair and seamless platform for airports, airlines and RT service providers to interface with TSA and each other.
In April 2006, to follow up on the consensus response to the TSA RFI, the RTIC and its Service Provider Council began to focus its efforts on defining the technical specification needed for an interoperable RT program.
On May 25, 2006, TSA released its Registered Traveler Model. The model is meant to provide stakeholders and interested members of the general public with a basis for discussing and planning for RT. The document is not meant to represent the final product in RT's development, but rather a snapshot of the current concept of the program's structure. The TSA's model incorporated most, if not all, of the RTIC's recommendations from January 2006. In addition, TSA encouraged interested stakeholders to join the RTIC's current effort in drafting open technical standards.
In April 2006, TSA announced that in the second half of the year it will begin an initial phase of Registered Traveler that will test business and technical interoperability at 10 to 20 interested airports. TSA is currently receiving Statements of Interest (SOI) from airports and air carriers indicating their desire to participate in the initial phase.
In July, the RTIC submitted to TSA for its review the specification for technical interoperability standards.
Colleen Chamberlain is Director, Transportation Security Policy with the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE). The Association represents thousands of airport management personnel at public use airports nationwide and assists executives in fulfilling their responsibilities to the airports and communities they serve. The RTIC was formed by the AAAE in collaboration with a group of airports to establish common business rules and technical standards to create a permanent, interoperable, and vendor-neutral RT Program that will bring passenger screening consistency and improved security procedures to air travelers in the United States.
The Federation for Identity and Cross Credentialing Systems (FiXS) is a coalition of government contractors, companies, and non-profit organizations that promotes trust through a federated identity infrastructure and the development of a secure, interoperable, electronic means of authenticating an individual.
* Biometric identification is not solely based on our physical attributes--facial geometry, fingerprints, or retinal images. Unique behaviors also play a part in distinguishing one person from another. Our signature, our voice (which carries a physical component), our gait, and even our keystroke pattern at the computer can measure identity.
* The most widely used physical biometric application is the fingerprint; signature and voice rate high on the behavioral side.
* SPOT (Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques), TSA-tested at select airports in the northeast last year, is based squarely on behaviors. Passengers conducting themselves in an unusual or anxious manner were singled out for face-to-face interviews to determine threat potential. The SPOT system has been particularly successful in targeting fake ID holders, persons entering the country illegally, or persons carrying drugs.
* Proponents of phrenology, a theory developed around 1800, claimed that character traits and criminality could be judged on the shape of a person's head. Skull or "head bump" reading is now recognized as a pseudoscience, but the practice did yield current scientific understanding of localized brain function.
* Frontline Biometrics - According to a Government Computer News report (08/16/04), troops in Iraq asked for Biometric ID devices and got them. The request was based on a real need to identify the good guys from the bad who were seeking entry to foreign posts. Fingerprint and iris scanners verify employees and identify prisoners' past crimes and affiliations. Data are shared with other military posts and camps to monitor personnel who have been kicked off military bases elsewhere in the world. The Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) is bottom line to the process. It is a centralized, rules-based access verification system that produces identification cards that include personal information, photographs, and 2-print fingerprints, as well as assigning "rules" governing installation access. DBIDS has provided security at access control points in Korea since 2001, in Germany since 2003, and most recently in Kuwait and Qatar in Southwest Asia. DBIDS is also being employed at Fort Hood, Texas and other stateside bases. Information flows into a biometrics database maintained by DOD's Biometrics Fusion Center in West Virginia.
* R&R Trucking, an NDTA Chairman's Circle Member, is working on a DBIDS pilot program for truckers hauling military cargo on/off military bases.
* Benchmarking Partners (Chair of NDTA's Security Best Practices Committee and a catalyst on Internet-based supply chain collaboration systems) will lead a panel at the NDTA Annual Forum in Memphis in September, 2006, on the business case for biometric credentials and ensuring interoperability. This panel will be based on a two-day roundtable Benchmarking held in May, 2006. Participants included General Norton Schwartz and his TRANSCOM leadership team along with senior leadership from DLA, NORTHCOM, DHS, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, CVS, and the American Red Cross.

tell me about the old Miele steam oven DG4080
Sadly I do not have room for my 27" gaggenau steam oven that I purchased on clearance a few years ago since my kitchen remodel has contracted to the existing space.
Pendng finding a buyer for the gagg, I need to find a steam or speed oven that will work under counter in a 24 inch space, and there is an opportunity to buy a Miele 24" DG4080 steam oven.
Is this the one that only operates at 100 percent steam? I know that would be a step down from the gagg which operates at levels of steam from 10 percent to 100 percent.
If so, can anyone who has this post their experience with it?
Can this oven also be used as a backup convection only oven, or does it operate only in steam fuction? I have downloaded the user manual but cannot figure that information out.
thanks in advance for any info!
The combi unit has an XL after the name. All the models listed above are steam only units. Are you sure you can't figure out a way to fit the 27"? Another thing I can suggest is the AEG steam oven. It was only available inCanada but I think someone on the forum imported one from Euroline appliances. The AEG was a combi oven and I believe it was 24". It is shorter than most of the other 24". Did you also look at the Thermador or Viking? Another option could be the Sharp steam oven. This is 24" and is a Combi unit. It is really small if I remember correctly.
thanks for the help and suggestions homepro1!
Problem with the 27" gaggenau steam oven besides that extra 3 inches is that it can't be installed under counter. :). My existing kitchen just can't fit it in.
Hmm... I did not know that! I have gone searching in the forums and emailed the 2 I found who installed it undercounter, but did not give details of the installation. I cannot drain it into the finished basement in that location so we shall see! Now to think hard about that extra 3 inches...
Thank you! Although I can't for the life of me think of your exterior motive.

Last Friday (September 26), Paul Vallée and I were lucky enough to interview Kevin Closson about the Oracle Exadata Storage Server. A tidied-up stream of the audio is here. The audio quality is a little spotty here and there, so you might like to follow the transcription in this post.
Welcome the the 85th edition of Log Buffer, the weekly review of database blogs. Here we go!
I chose to talk about a technique I used at a client's site to report the topmost space-wasting objects in an Oracle database. I was looking for a way to detect these objects without having to run some expensive analyze statements or dbms_stats jobs. I found out that I can use the dbms_space package to do this. It worked very well for me and I'm sure lots of DBAs could use this technique too.
Indeed, while the technique we discuss here is basic, it gives a good overview and is very easy to use. So let get focused… We will use iostat utility. There is much to say about IO monitoring and interpreting results. Perhaps this is only the first of a series of posts about IO statistics. At Pythian we often come across different environments with specific characteristics and various requirements that our clients have. So stay tune — more to come.

Attitude of AO MODS, according to beast
Because they have obtained that level they are arrogant. You have to kep in mind when you talk about these guys they are kind of dorks who probably didn't excel at much and this is their only outlet to flex their muscles. Their egos would suffer no less so the the forum suffers some more. Watch one way or another they will probably repond to this post with a threat. But there are better forums out there. Private messege Zev.

Need Bathroom Cabinet Builder
Well, it's not really a cabinet I need. I have a reclaimed fireclay sink that I am using in a bathroom, and want to have it supported bu something like the structures in the attached photo. The sink has an intergral backsplash, apron, and weighs about 200 lbs.
How do I find someone to build this?
What kind of wood do you want to use? MY DH built vanities out of IPE lumber we had leftover from our deck, and it wasn't very hard to do once he did the design. It is very heavy and strong - he told me to crawl underneath if there was ever a tornado and it would be the safest place in the house. I think any good carpenter or DIY'er could do it.
What I was trying to say was that I don't think it takes a cabinet maker to construct something like that. Just someone who is handy and has attention to detail. The hard part may be finding the right wood, something strong. All we did to our Ipe vanity was apply a coat of furniture oil and it has been in our vacation rental for 2+ years and looks like new.
Good luck with your project!

Union Minister for Human Resource Development Kapil Sibal said on Saturday that the government aimed to send 30 per cent of the school going population to colleges by 2020. At present, a mere 12.4 per cent of India's 220 million school going population could get higher education.
Inaugurating a two-day India-U.S. Summit on Higher Education organised by the Indo-American Society here, he said that in the U.S. 30 per cent of the school going population reached college.
Mr. Sibal said that to accommodate 60 million students in colleges by 2020, the country would need 800 more universities and 35,000 more colleges.
He also invited the American Universities to establish educational institutes and places of excellence in India, instead of focussing on taking Indian students to the U.S. He said that the current number of students going to the U.S. for higher education was like a drop in the ocean.
"It is a bad economic model which will not work in the long term," he said.
He suggested that instead, the American universities should invest, where there was human resource. "The output for dollar will be much more here," he said.
He also invited American students to learn courses in liberal arts and humanities in India. He said that India had the knowledge acquired through experience, which allowed communities to understand and live peacefully with each other.
"The world has this lesson to learn from a civilisation like ours," he said.
He also lamented the government control in higher education and said that the need of the hour was to give freedom to the academic community. "We should set benchmarks and goals, but let the universities decide the syllabi and the creative modes of teaching."
The university-level unions must be transformed into constructive forces. "We should keep politics away from higher education," he said. The delegates included 16 Vice-Chancellors and 30 Deans.
He appealed to the academia to think differently and implement more creative, sustainable and inclusive models of education. "We need to think of different economic models because all wealth of nations is built through investment in human minds."
He said that the agenda of the government was to focus on the three foundation pillars of education — expansion, inclusion and quality.

Richard Hoy | December 8, 2000 | Comments
Last week Richard launched into a series about creating an advertising program on a small web site. Today he's tackling a major issue: What will you offer advertisers?
Last week I launched into a series about creating an advertising program on a small web site. Let's address a major question: What will you offer advertisers?
One disclaimer: Any advice I give after this point assumes you've aggregated an audience advertisers want to reach. Specifically, your site is focused on a niche, it has at least 30,000 visitors a month, and you have the email addresses of at least 5,000 of those visitors. If you have these things, I'd say you have something worthy of an advertiser's attention.
I've seen two successful ways small sites tackle the issue of what to offer: a paid directory and content sponsorship.
The Paid Directory Model
The paid directory model works just way it sounds -- advertisers pay to have a link. The link usually leads either to a single web page about the advertisers or directly to the advertisers themselves.
The first trick with a paid directory model is figuring out how to make the directory the most viewed page on the site so that you are selling the same impression over and over again. (We'll talk about how to do that in a future installment.)
The second trick is to give the advertisers exposure across the site's multiple ad vehicles, including everything in the price. Give them plugs in your email mailings. Give them banner ads on the site. Give them the ability to insert their messages into any communication you have with your audience.
So the offer goes something like this:
The pros of the paid directory model are:
The cons of the paid directory model are:
The Sponsorship Model
The sponsorship model consists of selling an advertiser the exclusive right to advertise on one or more particular pieces of content. The tricks in this case are creating the content and getting the advertiser to leverage every opportunity within the pages of the content.
First, the content has to change with some frequency to keep the audience interested. And second, someone has to work with the advertiser to make sure its brand image is properly represented throughout the content area.
In the sponsorship of content model, then, your offer would be something like this:
The pros of the sponsorship model are:
The cons of the sponsorship model are:
So mull over these ideas until next week, when we'll talk about how to build a site to accommodate each model.

Giant Dracena Marginata care
Purchased 3 10+ feet tall Dragon Plants from craigslist . These are over 40 years old. I had them outside until a week ago. There are some yellow leaves but I have read that lower yellow on each shoot is normal for growth. I want to be sure I am watering enough and giving them good care. Do these look normal? Any helpful hints? They are in a 22 inch wide pot and seem to be packed in there. I think they were repotted some time ago - at least a year maybe two. Should I repot? With the soil so deep how do I know when it�s ready to water? Also, during the summer some of the tips turned brown and dry.
Your Dracaena marginata is huge. Soon it'll reach the ceiling. Hope you have another spot with higher ceilings.
This is how I grow mine. In summer, my marginata is grown like a tropical...during winter, it's cared for as a succulent.
Did you mention the material of its container? Clay, plastic?
Watering shouldn't be done by schedule.
There's two ways to test soil. Insert a long, thin stick deep within soil, to the bottom. If stick comes out clean, without soil/mud, give it a drink.
If stick comes out wet/muddy, don't water.. Re-test 4 or so days later.
The second way to test soil might be more difficult since your tree is gigantic.
Lift the entire pot. lol.
I weight 110-119lbs, depending on time of year..when I worked at a plant store, I lifted trees twice my weight. It was a 'x'itch lifting ceramic, self-watering 20" containers.
If the container feels light, it's probably dry. The thing is, you'd have to check weight after watering to compare.
I wouldn't repot yet. Wait until spring. For one, it'll be less messy if done outside.
I don't know your location, but here in IL, Dracaena's slow down growth this time of year.
Another reason not to pot.
'Some of the tips turned brown and dry.'
Did the previous owners keep marginata in or outdoors?
It's possible leaves browned and/or dried because it wasn't used to sun.
Even if your tree was in shade, it probably got more light than accustomed.
Also, being outside, Dracs need more water. I'd have used at least 1-gallon per drink.
More, if roots are tight and water runs through.
Which direction is window facing?
Anyway, your Drac is beautiful..can't believe you found it on Craigslist. I'm afraid to buy from CL's since the movie came out..lol.
Good luck, Toni
Thanks for the response! I donâÂÂt know the movie but I think we had a craigslist killer in Philly.
The window is North. They were on a deck facing west for half the summer. Lots of sun. The family I bought them from kept them in the yard during summer but it was a shady yard. I thought the water comes out quickly for a big container (plastic terra cotta look planter 22 inches) so the tight roots you mentioned are probably the case.
I will be posting many more questions. Lowes discounts all their ugly/dying stuff so I have gone on a few sprees.
Phillip Markoff was jailed and committed suicide in a MA prison.
I didn't know there was a second or copycat Craigslist kller
See how your marginata does in the north window. It 'might' need a brighter window during winter.
Post away. That's one reason we'e here. To ask questions, give advice and look at others' plants. Toni

Download counters
Hi, anyone use a download counter, would pref a java script one, or a link to a site with JS code. Also how do you hide the location of your downloadable files? or is this like the NRClick impossibilites? Thanks
What do you mean with a download counter?
A script that 'counts' how many times a file is downloaded from the server? Or just how many times the link to the file is clicked?
Because both option require interaction with a file (open file, read number, write number +1, close file) and cannot be done with Java Script because of safety rules.
You can write a scrip t with P HP, quite easy... If you need help, i can try to write you one (=fun :-) )
Yep was looking for "A script that 'counts' how many times a file is downloaded from the server"
If you need help, i can try to write you one (=fun :-) )
Sure would appreciate it, or if you know of one somewhere, Ived never used PHP before.
(HTML) http://productfinder.support.hp.com/tps/ProductFinder?h_returntext=Return+to+Drivers+and+Downloads+Search&h_returnurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hp.com%2Fsupport%2Fsoftware&h_tool=software&h_query=scanner+3200 (/HTML)
Try here
Here is a link that might be useful: HP
Why download a counter script when you can get them for free from http://www.hitometer.com
You tell hitometer the URL of your page and it creates the code for you. You cut and paste it into your HTML code and you have a counter. Then, you go to the hitometer site and you get complete stats on visits to your page - not only how many hits but the platform viewers are using, the referring pages (google.com for instance), the monitor resolution they are using, whether they are unique visitors or repeat visitors, the counts by day, week, month with graphs. With all this for free why would anyone want to use their own counter script?
2 different things...my first posting and some follow ups-
Posted by Dale (email@example.com) on Sun, Sep 9, 01 at 20:01
Hi, anyone use a download counter
[Neils]A script that 'counts' how many times a file is downloaded from the server?

Minnesota Wild
Wild Send Kuemper On AHL Conditioning Assignment
The Minnesota Wild have assigned goalie Darcy Kuemper to their AHL affiliate for a conditioning assignment. The move was made Monday. Kuemper can stay with the Iowa Wild up to two weeks.
TCF Bank Stadium To Host Outdoor NHL Game
At long last, Minnesota will finally get the chance to host an outdoor NHL game next season. The Wild will play the Chicago Blackhawks in one of the NHL's two "Stadium Series" games. The match-up is set for Feb. 21, 2016 at TCF Bank Stadium. "A real thrill," Wild CEO Matt Majka said. "And happiness. And a little relief maybe, too, because we've been waiting a long time."
Red Wings Earn Rare Shootout Win, 5-4 Over Minnesota Wild

Minnesota is living up to its name as the state of hockey. Thousands of athletes are lacing up their skates around the state for the 9th annual Hockey Day Minnesota. The premier games are happening at Holman Field in St. Paul where high school hockey teams are competing on an outdoor rink.
Wild Blog: Back On The Bandwagon?
Alright Wild fans, are you back on the bandwagon yet? I, of course, never got off. But was last night's win enough to get you back to believing in this team? It was enough for WCCO-TV reporter Rachel Slavik, who sent me the following text after last night's game:
Wild Snap 6-Game Skid In Dubnyk's Debut: Beat Sabres 7-0

Wild Blog: Wild Acquire Goaltender, Still A Lot Of Work To Do
On Jan. 2, the Minnesota Wild defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs by a score of 3-1. The hope at the time was that winning the first game in 2015 would be a springboard to another playoff berth much like last year, when Minnesota defeated Buffalo in their first game of 2014. Instead, the Wild have lost six-straight games and find themselves eight points out from the final playoff spot.
