Is it just me, or has there been an explosion of buzz words lately? Don't get me wrong, the IT industry innovates at a crazy pace normally, but it seems that things have been evolving faster than ever and that a fundamental change in the way things are done is underway. We can attribute this change to one thing: the cloud. Cloud computing is by no means new, but in 2014 it has come into its own.
Cloud computing is accelerating disruption by changing how data centers deploy, develop and consume everything from software and hardware, to how they offer products and services to their customers.
Let's take a look at a few of these hot technologies and why you'll be adopting some of them, whether you realize it now or not.
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) - What Is It Anyway?
There are many different descriptions of SDN floating around, partly because this is relatively new technology, and it means different things to different vendors. Until the market matures, this confusion will probably persist, at least for a while. The following explanation provides a good foundation for understanding SDN.
SDN decouples the system that makes decisions about where traffic is sent (the control plane) from the underlying systems that forward traffic to the selected destination (the data plane). The inventors and vendors of these systems claim that this simplifies networking.[1] Through the controller, network administrators can quickly and easily make and push out decisions on how the underlying systems (switches, routers) of the forwarding plane will handle the traffic.
SDN requires some method for the control plane to communicate with the data plane. One such mechanism, OpenFlow, is often misunderstood to be equivalent to SDN, but other mechanisms could also fit into the concept.
By separating the control plane from the forwarding planes, data centers can reduce costs and provide better agility, and who wouldn't want or need that? It does this by:
- Reducing reliance on expensive purpose-built, ASIC-based networking hardware and associated pay-as-you-grow models that often result in costly overprovisioning. In other words, you can unlock more value from your network.
- SDNs provide increased programmability that enables easier network scalability and system design and management
- Agility and flexibility. Everybody needs it, everybody wants it, SDN can deliver it. SDN enables organizations to quickly deploy new infrastructure, applications, and services faster than a traditional network would allow.
Often people use OpenFlow and SDN interchangeably, but they are not the same. OpenFlow is only a one element in the overall SDN architecture. OpenFlow is an open standard for a communications protocol that enables the control plane to interact with the forwarding plane. As an open standard it's steered by the OpenFlow Consortium. OpenFlow is not the only protocol available or in development for SDN. The open source network OS, ONOS, led by The Open Networking Lab (ON.Lab) is another option.
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)
This is another term that can mean different things to different people, depending on the industry. For our purposes, we'll focus on what it means to the telecom industry. To understand what has propelled the development of NVF, let's take a look at how the telecom industry has traditionally deployed their networks. For more than 30 years, telecoms have been relying on specially built systems, some of which saw them developing their own ASICs (via Cisco, F5 or Juniper) and proprietary operating systems (Cisco IOS, for example), and then having that technology built into base stations, routers and Ethernet switches, all optimized for their use. The proprietary nature of all of this translates into very expensive systems and slower development cycles.
Fast forward to today's NFV initiative, which is spearheaded by several of the major telecommunications service providers. The value of NFV is in creating a standards-based approach to virtualizing key telecom applications, radically changing the way telecom networks are built and managed. By doing this, NFV enables those apps to run on industry standard servers. And that of course translates into big cost savings and more flexibility than was previously possible.
What has made NVF suitable for use with commercial off-the shelf (COTS) equipment are the advances made in underlying technology including SDN, faster fabrics (40Gb Ethernet), and more powerful processors.
NFV can be implemented without SDN, although the two solutions can work together. NFV is able to support SDN by providing the infrastructure upon which the SDN software can be run. Both technologies share a common objective, and that is to run on lower cost COTS servers and switches.

The OpenCompute Project (OCP)
The OCP is a Facebook-led initiative to build computing infrastructures that are energy efficient, easily scalable and low cost. The initiative was born out of the design and build of the massive Facebook data center based in Prineville, Oregon. Following in the footsteps of open source software, the OpenCompute designs are open, shared and available for all to use. The OCP includes software, servers, storage, networking, and data center designs. By utilizing OCP open hardware designs, the OCP claims the Facebook Prineville data center delivered 38 percent better efficiency and was 24 percent less expensive to build and run than other state-of-the-art data centers that use proprietary components. Pretty compelling stuff.
As you can see, there are recurring themes spanning all the aforementioned technologies. In case you missed them: low-cost, energy efficient, non-proprietary, open, scalable, flexible, and agile. Even if you are not looking at redesigning your data center now, you may need to in order to stay competitive.
No matter what technology you choose to deploy, one thing is for sure, the cloud is stressing I/O and I/O bottlenecks will be shifted from where they are today. The further away you get from processing, latency becomes more of a challenge. To plan for the barrage of new technology that's coming your way, look for technologies that reduce latency such as RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE). Also seek out solutions that enable flexible usage of resources and that don't lock you into long-term commitments such as specialized appliances, infrastructure and proprietary software so that you are in a better position to take advantage of new innovations as they become available. Now strap yourself in and get ready for the ride.

I am looking at these cmmg ar15s in the .22lr. Are they a good gun or should I keep looking

What's the price tag?
I don't need No stinking signature.
The dedicated are accurate as any 22lr. The ones that use standard ar uppers and a conversion kit... not so much.
Ive had a cmmg kit for a while now and this applies to the dedicated guns too. My main issue is the magazines are a pain in the butt to load. There is issues with them of vaporized lead blown back into the action and all over the parts and mags. Definately not a gun for letting children shoot or pregnant women shoot.
I dont use my cmmg anymore as i was having a hard time with cleaning that crap off my hands after a long range session. It wasnt until i saw just how much lead gets vaporized on my suppressor baffles with a 22lr i didnt realize the same thing was happening with that stuff coming back into the receiver.
I dont know if the current dedicated cmmg 22lr rifles have a plugged gas port or not to prevent gas/debris blowback. The older ones from a couple years ago where just ar15 uppers with a different chamber and still had ar15 gastubes and barrels
I think the cmmg are a pass solely on the terribly poor designed magazines.
If you want a 22lr ar look and feel get a sw mp15-22 or a colt/umarex 15-22. I think the sw is the better gun as colt doesnt produce their 22 its just labeled colt. Both these have easy load magazines.
Ive still got my cmmg kit its part of my survival gear. Only got to takeone rifle to have center fire and a small cailber conversion kit and mag for small game
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith
The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
"I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
I go along with what Jon said, I'd go with a dedicated .22lr upper on a real AR lower or the M&P15-22 or Colt M4 .22lr. The conversion units that fit in the .223 barrel can cause fouling/leading and accuracy problems. I got the Colt .22lr and have been pleased. Works great with cheap ammo like Federal and Winchester value packs and looks and feels like a real M4. The M&P lower internals are very much like an AR lower while the Colt has the look&feel down pat though some things are just cosmetic. If you shop around you can get the basic M4 Colt for $410 and the S&W for a little less. Either is a great choice.
The biggest issue with assembling an AR isn't so much getting the parts together right - it's getting the right parts together.
US Army 1966-69, VFW Life Member, Retired Geek
The one on the right is my 14 year old son's S&W 15-22. It is a fun gun to shoot and very reliable, 25 round mags are readily availible. I have even seen 50 round drums for it,. but I haven't bought any yet. Most of your AR-15 accesories like grips, sites, ect. will fit right on it. Since this picture was taken, I have removed the front grip. My son decided that it was more accurate if he just gripped the quadrail directly.
thanks for talking me out of the sale. I don't want to dirty up my DD upper/barrel and gas system. I'll go ahead and buy a dedicated SW or Colt. Haha and then I can have another gun to admire!

Distemper over Aura?
A year ago I painted my century-old plaster walls with Aura. I hate the color. Can I successfully use a distemper-like product (like Sydney Harbour) over the Aura without having to use a sealer?
I'd thought of limewash, and figured it was too much work. I want a softer, less regular color, without faux painting. The Aura is a matte surface.
At first, I read the post thinking...WTH!?!?
Then I looked at their website, and it seems like neat paint!
Because of the Lime in the Distemper, I note they suggest 2 coats of their Lime-proof undercoater. This would be MANDATORY with a topcoat(s) like that.
Follow those instructions to the letter...
(this stuff seems interesting!)
Here is a link that might be useful: Link to Distemper's pdf instructions...interesting!

Date of Stay: September, 2009 - $15.00
This is a very popular campground and is usually full most weekends. Arrive early in the week for a first-come first-serve site. Odds site are reservable. Very clean neat park, with outhouses and water spigots throughout the park. Each site is large and roomy, only one we saw that our 40 ft rig would not fit in. Trees are very close to the road, so not for the squeamish to drive through. Our wide-body motorhome just made it in a few places with careful monitoring to drive through the campground. Sites are large and able to have slideouts. Many are graveled and surrounded by timbers making a deck-area of sorts. The lake is a bit of a walk away, with swimming beach. A large log lodge building is available for family reunions, parties, etc. overlooking the lake. 2 walking paths go wayyy up to an overlook outcropping for spectacular views over the area. Dump station is available, but for $5 fee, even for the campers already staying in the park (first time we have seen that!). More development is ongoing in the back of the park for larger drive through sites and 50 amp service, as government funds allow in the future. All the sites are 30 amp presently. After you stay longer than 2 weeks, the price drops to $10 a night, and seasonal rates are available. Got a very faint sporadic air card and cell phone signal with AT&T. Digital TV stations fade out during the day but come back at night. We camped at Morgan Park in a Motorhome.Undo

I got mother a KelTec P-32 w/Bulldog holster for Christmas. Nice little setup... She loved it! It was a little stiff, so I took it to the range for a work-out. After about 15-20 rounds it locked up solid. This happened three times that session. Had to do some real brain-work to clear it. What happened was that while firing, the rounds got shaken enough to have the rim of the top round, fell behind the rim of the second round, locking things up solid. I first contacted the factory. They call it "Rimlock". Seems to be frequent enough to get a name. She went back, and I'm still waiting.
Before I sent it back, I decided to try another type of ammo. I got a box of FIOCCHI 32APHP 60gr. (a little longer)to replace the Speer 32Auto 60gr GDHP's.
They were long enough to not move back and forth in the mag. I ran off about half a box with no problem. Being happy I went to put things away. I dropped the mag, and racked to clear, but the round wouldn't clear the chamber! Looks like the Fiocchi's were too long?
Two problems in one gun.
Anybody else have problems with K-T's

I had a KelTec P-32 and the hammer spring kept breaking. I sent it back to get fixed then sold it.
As far as the Rimlock, make sure you're using rimless cartridges for a semi-auto, not revolver.
Rimlock is common for many .32 autos, but usually only applies to hollow points because of the shorter OAL. There is a spacer available to go in the mag that holds the HPs forward in the mag. But, then you have to remove it to load FMJ rounds for the range, so many carry them with a HP in the chamber & the top round HP, then the rest are FMJ.
Normal turn around for Keltec repair is 4-5 weeks.
Roger that Ranger. You've got my attention. As per the instructions, 32 Auto. These are "Semi-Rimless" as were other 'off' calibers. Are you telling me that 32 Auto RIM_LESS are the ones to go with? I simply look for 32 AUTO, when I buy ammo. I've bought ammo on-line and in person. I don't think two people could make the same mistake. Have you got rimless rounds to chamber and shoot? Here's a part number for the ammo I am using. Tell me if you think this is improper.

Artillery lends a bit of dignity to what otherwise would be just a savage brawl......
Well, gollygee Gollygee. Experts are never far away. Thank you all for now, and in the future.
Strange how 22's never had that problem. My GS says that the ''mouse-gun" should be back this week. Wonder what they changed.......
Hello rab, I looked at SPEER-Dot and it looks like you have ACP cartridges; therefore, you should not be experiencing rimlock if you are loading the magazine correctly. I was shooting Federal 32 Auto JHP 65 grain P32HS1 and had no problems. If you have a micrometer or calipers measure the OVL of the cartridge, diameter of the case, and diameter of the rim. Just as a reference, the Federal cartridges I was shooting measured 0.897 OVL, case diameter measured 0.337, and rim diameter measured 0.354.

I would like to create a web form with something like a text area. The user should be able to type/edit text fonts, colours, and make the text appear in various styles as they type. Also if the user draws an html table, it should appear in the box as they continue to type.
I know that there are simple text boxes and text areas in html but they don't have the above functionality. Is there some component that exists for this purpose or is it something created using one's own code like with Java?
Any inputs on this would really be appreciated.

Superbowl report featuring sports arenas on the ballot: fans v. foes
February 1, 2014
By Josh Altic
As the Seahawks and the Broncos face off tomorrow in the biggest game of the year, two factions of political thought face off in several cities around the nation about the public funding of the construction and renovation of sports arenas. One side consists of those who believe public funds have no place being spent on sports stadiums and those who simply want public approval of any such projects before they are authorized. The other side generally believes it is in the city's best interest to encourage large sporting events and attract professional sports teams and that it belongs to the city government to make decisions about subsidizing such efforts.
In Sacramento, CA, and Columbus, OH, two separate, local groups are seeking to put similar initiative ballot measures on the ballot. Both measures would require voter approval in a city wide referendum before the city could fund or subsidize in anyway the construction of the proposed sports arenas. In Minneapolis, the Vikings will be getting a new $1 billion stadium, nearly half of which will be paid for by the city after a legal struggle involving a potential ballot referendum and a failed lawsuit. The Vikings hope to host Superbowl 52 in 2018. And, with a look back on 2013, plans to renovate the Sun Life Stadium of the Miami Dolphins fell through even as voters were casting early ballots for a referendum to authorize city contributions.
Sacramento Kings
The group Sacramento Taxpayer's Opposed to Pork (STOP) turned in more than enough valid signatures to put their initiative on the ballot. This initiative measure, if it reaches the ballot and is approved, would alter the city charter to prohibit the city from contributing funds or subsidizing in anyway the construction of a sports arena without voter approval. The measure specifically targets the use of $258 million from the city's general fund to subsidize the construction of a $450 million Sacramento Kings sports arena in Downtown Sacramento. A vote on this measure, however, would not explicitly approve or reject the proposed Kings arena funding. A "yes" vote would effectively put a stop to the city funding the arena until a public vote authorized it, adding the same requirement for future construction projects. A "no" vote would allow the city to continue with its planned funding of the arena. If the initiative is approved, it will trigger a November referendum specifically concerning the Kings stadium construction.[1]
As of January 24, 2014, the STOP initiative has been put on hold by the City Clerk Shirley Concolino, who said that the petitions circulated for the initiative had major legal flaws and violations of city election code that made it impossible for it to be put on the ballot.[2] But on January 29, 2014, STOP, combined with Voters for a Fair Arena Deal, sued the city, arguing that their initiative had "substantial compliance" with the election laws and that the courts should overturn the city clerk's ruling against the initiative. Jim Cathcart, STOP co-founder, said, "The city should not stand in the way of democracy." Stay tuned to Ballotpedia's article on this initiative for the outcome of the lawsuit.[3]
Columbus Blue Jackets
The Columbus Coalition for Responsive Government is the organization behind the initiative in Columbus targeting the city's payments on its purchase contract for the Columbus Blue Jackets' Nationwide Arena.[4] It was in 2011 that the city and the county of Franklin agreed to pay about $250 million to purchase, operate and maintain the sports arena through 2039, ensuring the Blue Jackets team would remain in the city at least through the end of the contract.[5] The measure proposed and petitioned by the Columbus Coalition for Responsive Government would amend the ordinance authorizing the contract to suspend all payments until a public election was held on the issue.[6][7]
According to the statement of estimated fiscal impact accompanying the question on the ballot, the ballot measure "will result in savings for the City of Columbus in amounts ranging from $3.9 to $7.9 million per year, and totaling approximately $131,165,157 over the then-remaining period of the lease."[5] Proponents of the initiative argue that using millions of dollars in public funding to subsidize the arena to ensure its survival amounts to a public bailout and should be approved by the voters. Jonathan Beard, president of the coalition behind the initiative, said, "This is not about the Blue Jackets — we say, 'Go Jackets.' This is about what we believe to have been an abuse of the public's trust in Columbus City Council."[8]
OSU law professor Stephanie Hoffer believes that if the measure is approved and stands up in court, it could cut off funding required by the Convention Facilities Authority to pay its bills and could even force the CFA to sell the arena and surrounding properties. She went on to say, "And that's a really disastrous situation for the city. Not because of the legal consequences under this contract or under the law, but just because it really throws that particular area of the city into turmoil."[9]
Minneapolis Vikings
The new $1 billion, city subsidized Minneapolis Vikings stadium, the planned construction of which has prompted the city to announced its bid for the 2018 Superbowl, will go forward, despite a ballot referendum and lawsuit seeking to stop it. The city of Minneapolis is expected to sell $468 million in city bonds on February 3, 2014, to go towards the new arena. Opponents of the city's funding of the arena pointed out that, according to the city charter, any expenditure for a sports venue exceeding $10 million requires voter approval in a public referendum. The city, instead of complying with this mandate and holding a referendum, took a legal detour around this road block by using city revenue that is controlled by state law and, therefore, does not require a city referendum.[10] A lawsuit was filed on January 10, 2014, by arena opponents, but the courts dismissed it, allowing the stadium plans to go forward. The stadium is supposed to debut in 2016 and football fans may be watching the biggest game of the year in Minneapolis four years from tomorrow. Backers are hopeful of hosting the Superbowl in either 2018, 2019 or 2020.[11]
Miami Dolphins Stadium
In Miami-Dade County, Florida, Stephen Ross, the owner of the Dolphins team, agreed to pay $4,784,337 to provide the costs of having a special referendum election concerning the public subsidy of a project to improve and modernize the Sun Life Stadium. This referendum required approval of a bill in the state legislature. State lawmakers, however, failed to vote on this bill, making the May 14, 2013, election irrelevant, even though many voters had already cast early ballots.[12]
If the election had happened and the measure had been approved, it would have authorized the Miami-Dade County to increase the local hotel tax from 6% to 7%, allowing for $7.5 million a year to be put into improving and modernizing the Sun Life Stadium under the following conditions:
• Dolphins remaining long-term in County;
• Private funding for majority of costs;
• Stadium owners paying County at least 112,000,000 dollars in 30 years;
• Stadium owners paying penalties up to 120,000,000 dollars for not bringing premier football and soccer events to stadium; and
• Award, in May 2013, of Super Bowl.[13][14]
According to the Dolphins CEO, Mike Dee, the Dolphins have canceled all stadium renovations since they are unwilling to go forward without public funding and support. See Ballotpedia's article on this failed referendum for the reactions of both Mike Dee and the legislature.[15]

Aussie actress Bojana Novakovic, soon to be seen opposite Keanu Reeves in "Generation Um", has joined the cast of "Teenage Kicks". The film, written and to be directed by Craig Boreham, is raising the last slice of it's budget over at Pozible.
"Teenage Kicks" is a journey through the minefield of adolescence as Miklos Varga, played by young up and comer Miles Szanto ("Love My Way", "The Elephant Princess"), searches for a way to navigate his guilt over his brother's death and his explosive sexuality to find the man he can be. The film has its roots in the team's award winning short film, Drowning, that did impressive business on the festival circuit and collected quite few fans along the way.
Novakovic, whose credits include "Edge of Darkness" and "Burning Man", will play Annuska, a young pregnant woman who forms a precarious relationship with the younger brother of her recently deceased boyfriend, seeing in him a glimmer of the man she lost.
"Teenage Kicks is a special, powerful film and we are delighted to be involved with casting. Bojana is magical as Annushka and together with Miles Szanto as Mik there's no doubt it's an exciting cast" says Marianne Jade at Maura Fay Casting.
Curious Distribution will release "Teenage Kicks" downunder.

35th Anniversary of Apollo 13 Splashdown 197
from the that's-the-mangled-tin-anniversary dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Not to mention, we're (probably) not talking a simple "scroll down a bunch of pages and replace appropriate variables." While I'm pretty sure they weren't forced to use punch cards to program the simulation, we're still talking about mid-to-late 60's technology here, even if it was state-of-the-art for its time.
This year marks the 35th anniversary of Apollo 13, but it's also the 10th anniversary of Ron Howard's "Apollo 13".
There's an Apollo 13 Anniversary Edition DVD [apollo13dvd.com] out, which includes the IMAX version!
There's more info at IMDB [imdb.com] and Google Reviews [google.com].
Good quote:
From now on, we live in a world where man has walked on the moon. And it's not a miracle, we just decided to go.
The skin was too thin, too fragile and far too ineffective to be used over the whole shuttle. If it had been, the disaster might never have happened. Which indicates that once NASA had the skin, they didn't put enough funds into R&D to improve on it.
The first shuttle explosion was also due to insufficient R&D. NASA had been expecting a fuel tank explosion, from day 1. On the launch pad, the crew have special escape wires they can slide down to deep bunkers, in the event of an explosion being considered likely. The lack of escape equiptment in the capsule was also due to not bothering to find ways of making something light enough to carry. (At least some of the crew survived the explosion itself. Death in those cases was likely caused by the impact with the water.)
You can't build a reliable telecoms company with just tin cans and string. Why Congress believes you can build a manned space program from not much more, I don't know.

... closest shop to our hotel entrance is a liquor store. Not, of course, that Beijing isn't known for showing off - who could forget the military exercise that was the 2008 Olympics and the more recent dazzle of the World Expo in another of China's most well known cities, Shanghai. Curiously enough, traveling through Dubai at the moment you will regularly see advertisements for the upcoming 2020 World Expo there! Seems like a fairly simple formula really, this world domination ...
A very Personal Beijing
Our final stop in China was its capital – Beijing. Beside looking forward to the city we were excited to met Roman, Kevin's cousin, and Hitomi, his girlfriend. They were so kind to let us stay with them for the next week. Once again it was awesome to have local tour guides with all their insight. For sure we also need to mention Xiao their hyperactive but super cute cat (we carry some battle scars as souvenir).
During a first dinner we had plenty of time to catch up. We got ...
The Great Wall and Forbidden City and onto Xi'an
... for a night cap. There was hardly a soul about in the Hotel. Peter asked reception where the 'bar' was. I think it was lost in translation as the bell boy escorted us to the 3rd floor.....to the 'Spa!' He knocked on various doors as there was clearly someone there, whilst we tried to tell him we wanted the 'bar'. I turned around to see a scantily clad young 'lady' totter round the corner into the spa in high heels and fishnets!! We retreated to our room sfor a nightcap ...

Market Tour
I began today with a market tour offered through The Hutong where I have been taking cooking classes. This one-hour excursion takes you through a big Chinese market and explains the various vegetables, tofu, fresh noodles, baked goods, meats, and spices. It was a great tour though lots of information and no easy way to remember it ...

I've been dabbling around a bit with C and I find that being able to directly manipulate bits is fascinating and powerful (and dangerous I suppose). I was curious as to what the best way would be to compare different bits in C would be. For instance, the number 15 is represented in binary as:
And the number 13 is represented as:
How would you compare what bits are different without counting them? It would be easy to use shifts to determine that 15 contains 4 1s and 13 contains 3 1s, but how would you output the difference between the two (ex that the 2^1 spot is different between the two)? I just can't think of an easy way to do this. Any pointers would be much appreciated!
EDIT: I should have clarified that I know XOR is the right way to go about this problem, but I had an issue with implementation. I guess my issue was comparing one bit at a time (and not generating the difference per say). The solution I came up with is:
void compare(int vector1, int vector2) {
int count = 0;
unsigned int xor = vector1 ^ vector2;
while (count < bit_length) {
if (xor % 2 == 1) { //would indicicate a difference
printf("%d ", count);
xor >>= 1;

Attorney general issues resource guide for veterans, service members
Online Staff Report
CHICAGO — In recognition of Veterans Day, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D) released a new, comprehensive guide on the many legal protections, rights and benefits for military service members, veterans and their families.
Madigan's Legal Rights of Illinois Service Members guide was created by her Military and Veterans' Rights Bureau as a complete resource for service members and veterans to understand the legal protections and benefits afforded them, particularly related to employment issues and consumer protections.
"Under the law, veterans and military service members are entitled to certain benefits that reward their commitment to our country," Madigan said. "We developed this comprehensive guide so service members and their families can arm themselves with knowledge and information to ensure they receive the benefits they have earned through their service and sacrifice."
Madigan's office also has begun tracking complaints received from veterans and military service members to better identify potential consumer fraud schemes that seek to take advantage of them and their families. Madigan said initial complaints have largely concerned problems with home improvement contractors, used car sales and credit-related problems, including debt collection, debt settlement and payday loans.
The Attorney General urges service members and veterans to contact her Military and Veterans' Rights Bureau directly at (800) 382-3000 to file complaints or learn more about their legal rights.
Madigan's guide can be obtained by contacting the hotline or visiting http://www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/rights/veterans.html.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) was in Washington D.C. last week participating in the semi-annual meeting of the Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography.
The Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography is a group of the worlds most prominent financial institutions, internet industry leaders, and child protection agencies working together with the shared goal to eliminate commercial child pornography. Founding members of the coalition include AOL, American Express, Bank of America, Chase, Citigroup, Discover, Visa, Wells Fargo, and Yahoo among others. ASACP has been an active member of the coalition and its Analytics Working Group since the coalitions inception in early 2006.
ASACPs Executive Director Joan Irvine traveled to Washington, DC for the November 13th meeting of the coalition. On the agenda was a discussion of accomplishments and challenges with speakers from PayPal, Mastercard, Global Payments Direct, and Microsoft. Also on hand was the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) to help to outline the 2008 priorities.
"ASACPs online CP reporting hotline has been around for over a decade and we have learned a lot; therefore, we always have a lot to contribute," said Irvine. "I am always warmly greeted with appreciation for ASACPs diligent reporting to the coalition and am reminded of the absolute need to work together as a community if we are to stop the sexual exploitation of children. Of course our ability to contribute to this process is due to the support of the Adult Entertainment Industry and I make sure this is known to all involved." While in D.C. Irvine also met with senior staff members from the offices of Senator John McCain, Representative Linda Sanchez, and Representative Melissa Bean. Irvine commended Rep. Melissa Beans focus on educating parents on how to protect their children. However, Irvine expressed concern that McCains Safe Act of 2007 would likely overburden small hosting/ISP companies with more regulations on how they need to monitor for child pornography or be in violation of the law. There is no need for this since law abiding companies already monitor for CP. In addition, data from ASACPs hotline shows that it is usually either larger mainstream free hosting companies or hosting companies in Russia where most of the commercial CP sites are hosted. Representative Linda Sanchez on the other hand is working on legislation that would make it easier to report child pornography. This in turn would be of great benefit in stopping the sexual exploitation of children online and ASACP applauds Sanchezs efforts.
In December Irvine will be back in D.C. to attend the Family Online Safety Institutes (FOSI) annual conference. Formerly known as the Internet Content Rating Association (ICRA), Irvine plans to inform attendees of the industry support for the development of the Restricted to Adults (RTA) website label/meta-tag.
Founded in 1996, the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating child pornography from the Internet. ASACP also works to help parents prevent children from viewing age- inappropriate material online. Companies and individuals interested in supporting ASACP may go to www.ASACP.org for more information on how to get involved.
