Michael Howard, author of Writing Secure Code is in Wellington to present a free workshop on Wednesday 27 January:
"Everything Developers Need to Know About Security... and more!"
Over the last few years, Michael has heard every plausible and implausible excuse for not paying attention to security. Come to this lighthearted, but deadly serious talk and learn some of the tricks of the trade to help you learn more about security, some of the critical skills you should know, and how to get others to pay attention to security too. Following pizza, in the second part of this presentation Michael will cover some of the tools and processes that you can use to help make developing .NET or ASP.NET applications more secure, such as FxCop, Threat Modelling, the Web protection library and the VSTS SDL template.

[I just sent this email out to all user group attendees]
Merry Christmas!
Because the year is winding up, I wanted to send you an email to thank you for being part of our great .NET user group community in Wellington this year.
The highlight this year has been the branching out of the .NET User Group: Sky Sigal has started the Silverlight user group and Mark Carroll the VSTS user group.
Another great thing we've done this year is increase the number of meetings. It has been 7 years since the first meeting in Nov 2002. In 2003 we met every two months, in 2004 we switched to monthly and this year we've switched to fortnightly (weekly, if you attend Silverlight meetings as well!)
Across the three user groups we had 31 meetings, which is pretty amazing for a 52 week year.
Looking at the stats for the Wellington .NET User Group on it's own: we had 21 meetings with 650 attendees. I went through the list and there were over 250 different people!
It has been so great to welcome new faces to our community, and to see familiar faces offer to present some of their ideas and wisdom for the benefit of others.
We ran a Code Camp again this year at Whitireia in Porirua, which went really well. I was also involved in our biggest Code Camp yet which was in Auckland before TechEd and had over 300 people attend.
I'd like to give an extra big "THANKS" to the speakers who worked so hard to put together sessions this year:
Alex Dean, Amir Shevat, Andrew Tokeley, Andy Prow, Bevan Arps, Bohdan Szymanik, Chakkaradeep Chandran, Chris Klug, Daniel McGaughran, Ivan Towlson, James Hippolite, Kevin Daly, Mike Zeff, Owen Evans, Richard Dingwall, Scott McKenzie, Sky Sigal and Tim Heuer.
Their willingness to share their experiences, put together talks and field the difficult questions really helped us all in our quest for knowledge. Also, thanks to them, I only needed to inflict myself on you as a speaker four times this year :)
I'd like to thank my employer Xero for hosting so many meetings, as well as Intergen and Provoke for hosting us in our times of need. I'd also like to thank Vicky for organising our drinks --- we appreciate it!
The prizes:
I bet you weren't expecting prizes. Aren't you glad you read this far down the email?
The inaugral winner of the "Geek of the year" goes to Bevan Arps. He was the person who attended the most user group meetings, and he presented the most sessions too. Bevan wins a Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 valued at $100.
Please remember Bevan: when your computer is watching you, the whole world can see what you're wearing :)
To draw the winner of the "Lucky Geek" prize, I gave one entry for each meeting you attended, and used Simon Green's famous RandomDraw program to pick a winner.
The winner of the "Lucky Geek" award is Ram Petikam. Ram wins a copy of Rise of Nations / Rise of Legends, which I'm sure his teenage son will enjoy.
Your Challenge:
A lot of geeky stuff is going on in the Microsoft world. Spend a few hours this holiday season trying out something new (maybe even win an MSDN subscription http://bit.ly/6LK8vN ). Tell us what you did in our first meeting of the year, and you may win a prize!
Final thanks:
And the final, biggest THANKS to Microsoft! We appreciated every slice of the almost 400 pizzas we ate this year!
Have a great holiday season, a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. I look forward to seeing you at meetings in the new year.
For your edification, here are the 31 meetings we had this year. How many did you come along to?

To prevent cross-site scripting, it's important to encode data before outputting it.
Up until now, it has been quite hard to ensure you're encoding everywhere throughout your app.
It's great to see the new syntax in ASP.NET 4 to automatically encode:
First Name: <%: Model.FirstName %> Last Name: <%: Model.FirstName %> <form method="post"> <%: Html.TextBox("FirstName") %> <%: Html.TextBox("LastName") %> </form>
(From Phil Haack's blog)
This means that for all new web applications, you can build using <%: %> instead of <%= %>, which is great for ASP.NET MVC applications where that syntax is common.
For older applications you will be able to opt in to the new encoding syntax, but your old code will keep working exactly as it already does (perhaps insecurely, if you're not encoding!)
Here's hoping that we'll be able to replace the standard HtmlEncode with the AntiXSS goodness I described here:
Daniel presented this talk at the Wellington Silverlight user group last Wednesday.
I enjoyed this talk. Daniel went back to basics and showed how to get up and running with Silverlight and WPF development, covered the various layouts you can use in XAML, and went through some of the fundamentals of how XAML and code interact.
I think the part I most appreciated was the content that Daniel left out of his talk. He was very well prepared, and had intentionally kept things simple, which is hard to do when you have deep technical knowledge and enjoy sharing it - I struggle with keeping my talks focussed without diverting on a tangent.
Well done Daniel, I'm looking forward to your next talk!
I attended Richard's Domain Driven Design introduction at the Wellington .NET user group back on the September 23.
Richard introduced Domain Driven Design and the motivations behind using it, covered the 'building blocks' and then gave some examples of how to put it in practice.
Richard has blogged the details of his talk here: Slides from my Domain Driven Design 101 Talk
I enjoyed Richard's slide deck, and his presentation style - simple slides so that my focus was on what he was saying. The parts of his talk that I took the most out of were the encapsulation of business logic into Specifications (different from the testing concept), and the explicit anti-corruption layer when interfacing with any external system.
Thanks Richard!
We got some great feedback from attendees at this year's Code Camp in Auckland. I thought I'd share some stats from the survey sent to attendees.
We counted 300 people there at one time, so we estimate somewhere between 300 and 350 people came along for sessions during the day. Note that approximately half of the attendees responded to the survey that these figures were drawn from.
We had three streams: Development, SQL and Security.
Attendance was roughly:
Although, people could switch between streams as they wished.
Did you also go to TechEd?
How did you find out about Code Camp?
Session feedback:
User groups:
The presenter with the most feedback on his sessions was the AWESOME Ivan Towlson.
We got lots of great general comments, here are a few:
Great work guys! Thoroughly enjoyed. Really enjoyed the day - thanks guys! Thanks for the opportunity for those of us who could not attend TechEd I am a sole operator / consultant with very limited budget, so "free" events are really appreciated. I am very happy to dedicate my time to attendance at events that are run as well as this was. Thanks again. We appreciate international visitors giving up their mornings to our benefit I really enjoyed every session and thought that each one had a valuable piece of information to take away - well done!

I'm happy to be presenting two sessions at TechEd this year. It would be great to see you there!
DEV304 Visual Studio Team System 2010: Odyssey Two
Presenter: Kirk Jackson
Tue 9/15 | 17:10-18:25 | Ballroom 1
Visual Studio 2008 is the best and most productive development environment ever! Microsoft have been busy the past couple of years putting even more great features into your favourite tool, and in Visual Studio 2010 we'll be seeing: new programming languages; diagramming tools and visualisers; new project types; and enhancements to the IDE. Come along and hear about these great features, and learn some new tips to help you make the most of Visual Studio 2010!
SEC313 Hack-Ed: Teaching the Good Guys Bad Tricks
Presenters: Kirk Jackson, Andy Prow
Wed 9/16 | 12:10-13:25 | New Zealand Room 2
You can't fight a war that you don't know you're waging. You can't defend your website against attack unless you know the tricks that the bad guys will use.
Join the "Flight of the Pwnchords*" and learn the tricks that Andy "the hacker" will use and watch as Kirk "the developer" tries to defend his ASP.NET website against them. By the end of this session you will have an understanding of some of the common attacks, such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Domain Request Forgery (CDRF), and will have an appreciation of how layering your defenses (defense-in-depth) can help protect you from exploit chaining.
The session will also give you some practical tips that you can apply straight away in Visual Studio 2008 to help you build secure websites.
(* AKA "New Zealand's fourth most popular comedy hacking duo")
Visual Studio 2010 will have better support for a multi-monitor setup, but it's possible to get part of the way in 2008 already.
Toolbars and property windows (e.g. Solution Explorer, Class View) can be dragged into separate windows (2010 will add the ability to drag documents into separate windows too):
Window positioning gets a bit weird when you switch from one monitor to another, or change resolutions - a common occurrence when you're a laptop user docking and un-docking.
You can create two settings files, one for your single monitor layout, and one for your multi-monitor layout, and use them when starting Visual Studio 2008:
Now you have two or more settings files, you just need to create a shortcut icon for each one somewhere in your start menu.
Edit the target, and add the parameter /resetsettings D:\multimon.vssettings to the end (replace the path with each settings file path).
Now when you launch your new shortcut, it will start Visual Studio 2008 with the correct window layout. Because you only exported and imported the Window Layouts, all the other settings stay the same.
You may also want to make these changes to your shortcut:

See you there on Sunday 13 September,
Today at the Wellington .NET User Group, Kevin presented a talk on "Windows Mobile 6.5 Widgets".
Kevin has kindly provided his slides and samples for download:
I found this interesting. I haven't developed any applications for Windows Mobile, though I have played around a bit with the emulator and deploying code from within Visual Studio.
Widgets seem like a lot simpler application development model than native or compact framework applications. The application development model is similar to Vista sidebar gadgets, as there is a packaged zip file containing the application inside - and the application is 'simply' Javascript and HTML. Widgets can use XHR or DOM manipulation, and have access to a small amount of local storage to store preference information.
Windows Mobile 6.5 treats widgets as first-class application citizens within the OS - they have icons on the revamped start screen, and appear in the uninstall screen. As far as the user knows, they are the same as a native application.
Where the process is currently let down is in deployment and debugging. Currently a widget can only be deployed through the Windows Mobile marketplace, after the developer has signed up and the application has been reviewed (I think!). Debugging from Visual Studio seems non-existent, meaning that development is through trial and error.
I could see an enterprising person (like Kevin) building a Javascript library that simulated the API provided by the widget infrastructure, so that widgets could be developed and tested on a desktop before being deployed on a device. Kevin, am I right that all that is needed is the Widget object and some fake ActiveX controls?
All up, an interesting session.
Today I went to Nelson for lunch, and presented on Caching to the Nelson .NET User Group.
The talk was a repeat of my Wellington and Auckland talk from a few months ago, and covered various places you typically cache data in a .NET app, motivating the discussion of memcached and Velocity.
It was nice to get down to Nelson to briefly soak up the sun and meet a few new people.
View my previous post on Caching for further info.
Thanks for having me Daniel!
So this was a few weeks ago, but I thought I would post some notes here anyway.
Bevan gave a talk at the Wellington .NET User Group titled "Towards Supportability" (view his slides and notes).
Apart from marvelling at his good looking slides, the main thing I took away from his talk was the points he made on documentation. Bevan gave an approach for document systems for the person fighting the fire when all hell breaks loose. When a system is broken, and people are all over the poor systems administrator to fix it, they don't need thick architecture documents, they need something quick and actionable.
The 'Supportability' document structure:
The most important parts are the symptoms and actions - how to diagnose what's wrong and how to recover from it.
Cheers Bevan!
There's a lot of technology groups in Wellington. I decided to get together a list of all of them so that we could see if we clash on our regular meeting days. Please let me know if your group is missing, or the details need updating.
Most of these groups run free events with the support of their sponsors!

Craig, Owen and I (all from Xero) went along to the Wellington Summer of Code session last night to demo Visual Studio, the .NET runtime and ASP.NET MVC to 30-ish eager and willing University Students.
It was an interesting time. Allfields hosted us in a couple of their training rooms, which was pretty cool as the students got to follow along using their own copies of Visual Web Developer. The Allfields facility is pretty good - each room had about 20 PCs for students to use, and the guys there set up a video link between the two rooms.
Students: If you're got .NET questions, be sure to sign up to the dot.net.nz mailing lists.
I'm looking forward to meeting with the students again as the programme continues, and hopefully work with one of them at Xero!
If you store, transmit or process credit card data, PCI applies.
How can OWASP help you with PCI compliance?
Credit card data:
Card data attacks have been increasing in sophistication.
PCI-DSS affects anyone who transmits, processes or stores payment card data. E.g. merchants, service providers (e.g. Paymark, DPS).
Look at 12 requirements of PCI-DSS (firewalls, storage etc)
Protecting stored data:
You must not store sensitive authentication data. Principle: if you don't need it, don't store it. Consider outsourcing, truncation, tokenisation.
Tokenisation: Replace PAN with a unique identifier "token"
Truncation: don't store all the data (e.g. first 4, last 4 digits)
Encryption: Encrypt at point of capture, only decrypt when required, use industry standard encryption, protect your keys.
Developing secure applications / Test app was built securely / Use secure coding guidelines:
Standard OWASP guidelines
Annual risk assessment:
Every year, new threats will affect your site. Go and re-assess against the new threats.
Fixing legacy systems: make sure no old data is lying around.
Real life example: it's very easy to mess up (example of reverting to old code)
Parting thoughts: achieve, maintain and validate compliance. Secure development is a key activity. OWASP is a good source. Reduce storage of PAN data.
Bug chaining - an idea that hasn't really propagated yet.
How do we rate how severe a bug is? Consider how easy it is to exploit, where it is accessible from (client-side, server-side, internet, local, mass exploitable, targeted exploit, etc).
Audience attempted to rate the severity of a couple of bugs:
Is attacker considered 'authenticated' once there is an XSS attack? Any subsequent attacks can be treated as authenticated.
When you join together the XSS bug with the file upload bug, then it's critical!
Bug chaining: taking multiple bugs and chaining them together to create exploitable vulnerabilities. Instead of looking at each individual bug, look at how they can be combined together.
There are now frameworks to help chain together exploits - and this is how a lot of worms now work.
Recent examples of chaining exploits: PHPMyAdmin <= 3.1.3; SugarCRM <= 5.2.0e - compromise server through 3 bugs together.
How to deal with this? CVSSv2:
"You can explain this stuff all day, but when network admins actually see you do it, that's when they understand" Brett Moore
VtigerCRM - large open-source CRM system which fixed problems with a security patch, but don't link to the fix (and haven't installed it themselves!).
He wrote a BeEf module for VtigerCRM that can run as an auto-run module (took less than 2 hours to write):
Don't look at severity of individual bugs - need to look at how bugs can be joined together.
Understand the bugs.
Follow the OWASP coding and testing guidelines.
Firefox extensions: They're just software, like ActiveX. Extend, modify and control the browser.
Firefox extension points:
Mozilla security extension model is non-existent. All extensions are fully trusted by Firefox - no boundaries between extensions, they can modify each other without the user knowing. Can be coded in C++ and subject to memory corruption etc.
Extensions are very popular (billion downloads) and can be found everywhere - social networks, search engines, software packages (skype, anti-virus), anti-phishing toolbars.
Biggest problem is the human side of things - Addins.mozilla.org recommend extensions and add a 'recommended' icon next to them. Extension source code isn't read by third parties ("It's not the linux kernel").
There's no protection from an extension with a security problem, it will bypass any other phishing / malware protection extensions.
Extensions aren't signed (even the Mozilla ones), so we can't rely on people checking signatures.
If an extension is originally trusted, then subsequent updates won't go through the same review process.
No current guidelines for testing a Firefox extension, so security-assessement.com havce come up with their own methodology (whitepaper to be released this year, early next year):
They have applied their methodology to different extensions, and some responses have been slow or non-existent!
Here are some extensions that were demoed and had problems. They are all common or Mozilla recommended (all these have been fixed):
Extension developers and vendors haven't got a security disclosure process yet - they don't know how to deal with the issues yet. Some extensions don't even publish an email address for the author.
With shift to web services, where we are relying on client to secure stuff, we have to remember not to trust the client.
Gave a methodology for testing web services:
Tools shown:
If you don't own the 3 OWASP books, you've failed.
We're still facing the same vulnerabilities we already have, because we are doing something wrong. Maybe it's security professionals that are doing something wrong, by not educating developers properly.
Big security companies still having problems with their websites.
Most vulnerabilities are well known.
Security people don't write code. developers do. They don't "get" security:
Sitting down with developers and stepping them through a vulnerability helps show them the light and they understand and think about vulnerabilities.
Talk today designed to show developers exploits in action.
Tools showed:
Problems shown:
Open questions:
Paul raised the question: "Is internet security getting better or worse?"
By 2004 we had bought lots of security products, and now only port 80 is the only open port (default DENY). Hackers started hacking web apps instead.
Classic ASP was easy to hack. until in 2005 when vendors started releasing safer technology frameworks (2005? We were using it in 2002)
Note: ASP.NET doesn't have XSS protection built in, unless you leave ValidateRequest on (which no-one does), as controls only sporadically escape their output.
Paul looked at Security-Assessment's old pen-test projects and compared their vulnerabilities to those run recently.
"In 2003-2005, web application developers were F$%^&* bad"
"Developers fail at anything to do with files"
But the situations hasn't got much better lately. Admin sections are still accessible, SQL injection still found, but less common, file uploads allowing directory traversal.
When developers use framework security controls, they're okay. If they use custom security code, they mess it up.
"Less vulnerabilities in 2009 resulted in a shell"
"Security only works flawlessly when it's already implemented in the framework" - when developers build their own code, they normally mess it up.
Summary: The internet is getting more secure, but we're not there yet! Only need one bug to get in to a system.

Technip will develop the process design package of the hydrogen production unit of the plant, based on its steam reformer proprietary technology, and will prepare the FEED for the hydrogen production, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and refining units. Work is scheduled to be completed in early 2014.
Forest BtL awarded Technip with a 5 million contract for front-end engineering and design (FEED) on a new second-generation biomass-to-liquid (BTL) plant to be built on Ajos island, Finland, the companies announced on Thursday. This plant will produce approximately 140,000 tons of biodiesel and naphtha from wood and by-products from the wood-processing industry. This feedstock has many advantages, according to project officials. They noted that since the feedstock is not used for human food, it does not jeopardize the existing local biomass usage and has a low CO2 footprint.
Technip will develop the process design package of the hydrogen production unit of the plant, based on its steam reformer proprietary technology, and will prepare the FEED for the hydrogen production, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and refining units.
Technips operating center in Lyon, France, together with the groups hydrogen technology center in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands, will execute the contract, which is scheduled to be completed in early 2014.
The Ajos BtL project is supported by the European Union NER300 funding program for innovative renewable energy technologies. Technip says the project will be an industrial first and will reinforce its leading position on new-generation biofuels projects.

A searchable database of project activity in the global hydrocarbon processing industry
Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Will previously-planned downstream investments be cut back in 2015 due to lower global oil prices?
Yes 59%
No 11%
Depends how long current prices last 30%

I understand that it was said in a moment of exhaustion and frustration. But fact remains he should not have said. Japan has put a lot of effort into this competition, not only financially. The crowd is bigger than at Worlds! It's also in part a team event, wanting to exude positivity and team spirit. What he said went against all of that. I personally don't think it's 'Lots of drama over nothing'. I would be willing to give Scott al the benefit of the doubt if this had been the first time he'd acted (seemingly at least) as a sore loser.
Anyway; I hope Scott gets himself a nice holiday to recover from this long season, he deserves it. Team Voir has done really well!

This word means a very interesting thing called an erection. This is when the penis (or if the guy or chris crocker has a chode ...) gets very hard and stiff and it makes for very nice sexy time.

Do other people end-up copping a resentment against "All Men" / "All women" in recovery just because a few were practicing the 13th step?
I was just past my 1st year of recovery and started following a woman around who has some time. I did all kinds of stuff for her and helped her with college. She used to sell herself under the bridge for her drug of choice and lived that way for years.
She's also very respected by other women in my area. I was on that emotional pink cloud when I was with her, but we never had sex. We had this wonderful emotional relationship, the kind I never had with any woman before. I felt like she had to be "the one". She did tell me all we could be was friends, but she knew how I felt a little bit and even said stuff like "maybe in 5 yrs" or "Maybe someday". I figured I was cultivating something good. I never made any move on her at all, except friendly intimacy. I respected what she was telling me, even though we'd spend 5 out of 7 days of the week together and even slept together platonically.
When I couldn't restrain my un-requited lust and let her know it after months of this going on, she got angry with me and when I'd share about it in meetings word got back to her and she'd cop a resentment at me about that too. She felt I was damaging her reputation. All I was doing was seeking support for the very extreme emotional pain I was in.
I went from hating myself and feeling as-if I was wrong for wanting her and a bad person - to hating her and feeling she did in-fact wrong me on purpose. I finally came to a place where I realized how silly I was being for desiring a woman with such a past (even if her life looks all rosey now) and realizing that she's sicker than myself. I was not "wrong" because she made me horny. I'm a man.
The whole experience was good and bad. When I drank, I never knew how to initiate sex, or make the first move on a woman. The alcohol just made me lose my inhibitions and fears. It also made me lose my selectivity and I'd wake-up next to some pretty scary ones. I had no sober reference.
Thanks to the steps I have to own what part I played in it and not make that mistake again, however I can't seem to be emotionally available to women in recovery anymore. They must stay on "that" side of the wall until I know for certain where things are going.
I was working on being less shy and introverted and becoming more outgoing and friendly with the women and then that happened and I stopped being that way. Granted, I know what my motive was, however now I don't approach people unless they're men, or unless they approach me (namely the women). The experience threw me right back to being that shy, insecure kid that can't get a girl to go out with him.
I don't go for women I want anymore. The experience had some good come out of it, however it also created and re-enforced fear that I hoped I was getting past.

Just leaked: http://screenshots.winfuture.de/1172043314.jpg
As you see, R600 driver will be released on the 14th of march, it's the Catalyst 7.3, and all AMD drivers are released at the same time as you know. Kernel 2.6.20 support is something that is just a logic step.
Actually the R600 launch has been delayed (http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=37768). You are correct though in your Kernel 2.6.20 support, as I believe was mentioned in a previous Phoronix article.

so does the linux team have some deadlines for their drivers? i mean deadlines like e.g. 10th of may, instead of 1 release/month :]
hmm this release is a bit dissapointing. i suppose they're focusing on R600 support more than anything else now. if the documents shown are true, that is.

For the first time in history, the authority of the federal government is being put behind a sustained national PSA campaign to reduce stigma and encourage support of people with mental illnesses. It is also the first time that the tremendous leverage of the Ad Council—the folks who created Smokey the Bear—is being made available to the entire mental health community. The PSAs are specifically targeted to 18-25 year olds. Starting today, resources will be available at www.whatadifference.org. An Ad Council fact sheet also is available now on the NAMI Web site. In recent months, many NAMI state leaders participated in regional training meetings in DC, LA and Chicago around these PSAs. Special thanks goes to these NAMI state leaders and StigmaBusters who have been involved in preparations for the launch for three years, and to all In Our Own Voice presenters, who have been a model for a key part of the grassroots campaign. The work is not yet complete, however. Grassroots action still is needed to ensure placement of these PSAs in the media.

Bedard, Pirates roughed up in Wrigley opener
CHICAGO -- Clint Hurdle considered the present his Pirates players had given him for his 55th birthday, and the Pittsburgh manager said, "You shouldn't have."
They really shouldn't have. But the Bucs can't take back their worst game of the season, Monday night's 14-4 loss to the Cubs, as if it was a sweater of the wrong color. "In 162 games, you're gonna have them. There's no way around it," Hurdle said, unconcerned, after the Bucs missed taking advantage of the end of the Cincinnati Reds' 10-game winning streak. Early in this game, while his team still had it in control, Hurdle had looked up at the center-field scoreboard and the "9" in the Angels' sixth inning jumped out at him. "Hey, that was probably a hard inning," Hurdle remembered saying at the time. "Then we walk, play and pitch through one an inning later." That did happen, as Anthony Rizzo's three-run homer and a two-run blow by Starlin Castro fueled a festive nine-run fifth at Wrigley Field. That was an inning after Darwin Barney had hit a go-ahead three-run homer. Thereafter, the only intrigue remaining for the Bucs was: Would they hit a home run for a 20th consecutive road game to tie MLB's longest streak of this century? No, they would not, adding to the "total loss" tone of the night. The tone-setter was Erik Bedard, whose start turned into a dark checklist of season lows. Most runs allowed? Check. Most runs allowed in one inning? Check.
Biggest margin of defeat? Check. "They hit good pitches. They hit bad pitches. Unfortunately, some of them went over the fence," said Bedard, who, pitching with two extra days of rest, felt stronger than usual in getting seven of his 13 outs on strikes. "The harder you throw them, the harder they hit them." "His fastball velocity spiked a few times," said Hurdle, citing speeds up to 93 mph. "He was fresh, with those couple extra days of rest. Really, he just got a couple pitches in the wrong spots that they connected with. Three-run homers will finish you in a hurry." Through one out in the fourth, Bedard (5-12) appeared in complete control. He had a 2-1 lead, and of the 13 batters he had faced, only three had reached base. From that point on, however, the lefty got only three more outs -- and gave up eight more runs. Six of them resulted from the three-run homers in back-to-back innings by Barney and Rizzo. The Cubs' fifth-inning assault continued against the first arm of relief as they added four more runs against Chris Resop. Tony Watson followed with two sharp innings, allowing one run while picking up three strikeouts, and Jared Hughes put up a zero in the eighth. Before Watson and Hughes quieted things down, the Bucs had already bookended Sunday's 9-5 loss in Houston with another disappointing effort. For a team that had begun the day with the Majors' best record since May 25 (38-19), such back-to-back losses clearly have been rare. But it did happen in mid-June, when the Pirates were swept in Baltimore while being outscored 27-13. "They were looking at us cross-eyed when we left Baltimore. 'Man, your pitchers are getting really hammered,'" Hurdle recalled. He volunteered that recollection because he also recalls how the Pirates recoiled: 14 wins out of their next 20 games. "Sometimes these things grab you," Hurdle said. "We shower well. We'll get 'em tomorrow." In the first, Chicago's leadoff batter Reed Johnson (not for long; he would be removed in the middle of the game upon being dealt to the Braves) took a funky, half-hearted swing at a strike three that sailed by catcher Michael McKenry for a wild pitch that enabled Johnson to reach first, from where he promptly scored on Castro's ringing double into the left-field corner. The Bucs capitalized on their first baserunner to tie the game. Clint Barmes singled with one away in the third, moved up on Bedard's sacrifice bunt and came home as Starling Marte lined a single to left. The Pirates took a brief lead, in typical advantageous fashion, in the fourth when the Cubs were not able to get two outs on an ideal smash to third by McKenry with the bases loaded and one out. The devolution of the double play began when second baseman Barney took Joe Mather's throw for the forceout but let it trickle out of his glove before relaying it to first. Thus Andrew McCutchen, who had begun the inning with a walk, scored from third for a 2-1 lead. Bedard couldn't keep it through the bottom of the inning. With one out, Jeff Baker singled, Geovany Soto walked and Barney made amends, smoking the full-count pitch over the ivy in left-center for his fifth homer and a 4-2 Chicago edge. "I actually felt really good out there," Bedard said following his 20th start -- a level he had reached only once previously since 2007. "So that's the positive out of it. We'll get them next time."

Although "fud" is widely accepted in Scotland as being a slang term for the female reproductive organs, it is generally used as a pejorative to describe someone who has just done something stupid, often in situations where they've either been impulsive or it was blindingly obvious beforehand that it was a stupid thing to do. It can also be used to describe someone who irritates everyone because they try to impress everyone all the time & invariably talk a load of pish.

Mail By Design: Keeping the USPS and Your Customers Happy
Quick printers who offer design services to their customers have a big task when asked to prepare something that will be mailed. If your quick print shop offers mailing services, then mail piece design is part of the technical expertise your customers have a right to expect from you. And if you don't offer mailing services, then you need to know about mail piece design as a defense—to keep a mail house or the USPS from blaming you for extra postage requirements.
So what is a mail piece? For most quick printers, it is one of four things:
- Postcard: A single ply, unfolded card. Depending on the size, postcards can be mailed first class using the subclass card, or they can be letter mail sent as first class presort or standard mail. Although postcards that are large enough may fall into the flat mail category, this is not common.
- Self-mailer: A folded single sheet or unbound multiple sheets. A tri-fold brochure is a self-mailer; so is a four-page newsletter that prints 11x17" and folds down to 8.5x11" or 8.5x5.5". Self-mailers can be mailed as first class presort or standard mail in either the letter or flat category.
- Booklet: Bound folded sheets, with or without a cover, such as an eight-page newsletter with two staples in the spine. As with a self-mailer, a booklet can be mailed as first class presort or standard mail in either the letter or flat category.
- Envelope with enclosures: Depending on their size, envelopes can be letter mail (for example, a #10 or 6x9" envelope) or flat mail (for example, a 9x12" envelope). Envelopes can be mailed as first class presort or standard mail.
Mail Piece Design
When a printer says "design a mail piece," we mean the artwork—the color palette, symmetry, perspective, graphic elements, typography—in other words, the aesthetics of the mail piece. When the USPS says "design a mail piece," it means how efficiently it can be processed on high-speed equipment—the physical characteristics of the mail piece, the postage payment method, and whether the address includes machine readable postage coding.
The job of our graphic designers and CSRs is to understand the USPS requirements for card, letter, and flat mail and to either design to be compatible with them or explain to customers the postage implications of deviating from the requirements.
Determining Postage: Physical Characteristics
The physical characteristics of a mail piece are what determine the amount of postage required to mail it. Those characteristics are shape, size, thickness, weight, and flexibility. The shape that works best for USPS high speed mail processing equipment is a rectangle, and rectangular shape is determined by the aspect ratio (i.e.: the relationship of the long side to the short side, with the long side defined as the side parallel to the address). To compute the aspect ratio, divide the long side by the short side. If the answer falls between 1.3 and 2.5, then the mail piece is a rectangle. Other shapes can still be mailed, but at a higher postage rate.
Here is a tip about shape: A postcard that measures 4.25x5.5" (i.e.: one-quarter of an 8.5x11" sheet) has an aspect ratio of 1.29. If a bulk mail acceptance clerk allows rounding up, then the postcard meets the minimum requirement of 1.3. But without rounding, the postcard is not considered a rectangle. If, however, the postcard is trimmed to 4.125x5.5", then the aspect ratio is 1.33—within acceptable tolerance. Since we all have excellent cutters in our binderies, don't try the patience of the bulk mail acceptance clerk. Be sure your graphic designer sets the size and trim marks for 4.125x5.5".
The USPS processes mail on two types of equipment: letter sorting and flat sorting. Letter sorting equipment runs at speeds up to 40,000 pieces per hour and is substantially faster than flat sorting equipment. So, just as the USPS prefers rectangular mail, it prefers letter mail. Here are the dimensions of letter mail and flat mail:
- Letter mail is between 5" and 11.5" long, 3.5" to 6.125" high, 0.007" to 0.25" thick, and not more than 3.5 ounces in weight.
- Flat mail is between 11.5" and 15" long, 6.125" and 12" high, 0.25" to 0.75" thick, and not more than 13 ounces in weight.
- Card mail is a subcategory of letter mail with physical dimensions of between 5" and 6" long, 3.5" and 4.25" high, and 7 points to 0.25" thick. What your customers call a postcard could, depending on its size, be either a card or a letter. For example, a postcard measuring 4.25x6" is considered a card, while a postcard measuring 5.5x8.5" is considered letter mail.
Here is a tip about thickness: 7 point stock or a sheet of 20-pound bond that is trifolded will meet the minimum requirements. However, these are both so thin that the mail piece could arrive looking battered. Instead of meeting the minimum, select stock that is thick enough to travel well through the mail stream—at least 9 points for card stock and 60-pound offset for trifolds.
Determining Postage: The Address Panel
The address panel of a mail piece includes the return address, the indicia, and space for the outbound address and barcode. It also could include these optional elements: postal endorsements (tells the USPS what to do with mail that is undeliverable as addressed), teaser copy, and graphics.
The size of the address panel is important. It needs to be wide enough to comfortably contain the longest line in the outbound address, tall enough to comfortably contain the number of address lines (usually three or four, but sometimes more), as well as the postal coding lines (usually two) and barcode. At a minimum, make the address panel 2" high and 4.125" wide, but allow more room when possible.
For flat mail being mailed at the standard mail rate, locate the address panel in the upper half of the mail piece. This requirement applies both to envelopes and self-mailers, such as newsletters. It does not apply to flat mail being mailed at the first class presort rate, but to keep it simple, use the upper half of the mail piece for any flat.
For letter mail, locate the address panel 0.5" from the right edge and 0.625" (5/8") inch from the bottom of the mail piece. (The USPS designates the bottom 5/8" of the mail piece as a clear zone that must be free of all writing or graphics.) If you add the minimum dimensions of the address panel to the dimension from the right and bottom edges of the mail piece, then the minimum size for an address panel (measured from the right side and bottom edge of the mail piece) is 4.625" wide by 2.625" high.
Locate the indicia in the upper right corner and the return address in the upper left corner. Be sure that the last line of the return address is at least 2.75" from the bottom edge of the mail piece. Any lower and it will be in the MLOCR (multi-line optical character reader) clear area, which could result in the return address being confused with the outbound address and the mail mistakenly delivered back to the return address.
For a folded, unbound, letter size self-mailer, orient the address panel so the fold is at the bottom. Most self-mailers with a bottom fold require only one wafer seal (or tab).
Keep the area where the outbound address will appear clear of graphic design. Avoid any background or use a very faint screen. If the mail piece is a flood print, whether it is a solid ink color or a graphic element, knock out the area for the outbound address. The MLOCR requires good contrast between the background and the outbound address; insufficient contrast may render the mail piece not mailable at the best postage rates.
Here are two tips for the address panel: It does not have to be the entire face of an envelope or self-mailer, nor the entire right half of a postcard. It can have a landscape orientation (that is, parallel with the longest edge) to qualify as letter mail, even if the mail piece itself has a portrait orientation.
Recommending Paper and Coatings
When recommending the paper for a mail piece, make sure it is thick enough (at least 9 point), has sufficient flexibility to make the turns around the belts, rollers, conveyor wheels and drums of the USPS high speed mail processing equipment, and has sufficient opacity that printing on one side won't show through to the address panel. Avoid stocks with patterns or dark fibers, fluorescent colors, and synthetic papers unless you know the mail house can address on synthetics (very few can).
Aqueous and UV coatings provide a special challenge for inkjet addressing—each requires a special ink formulary and a dryer to cure the ink. Before applying an aqueous or UV coating after printing, check to be sure the mail house can address on the coating.
Help From the USPS
The USPS offers much assistance for designing mail. Quick Service Guides summarize the requirements from the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM), two templates make it easy to determine aspect ratio and mail category (letter or flat), and a Mailpiece Design Analyst (MDA) is available to answer questions and determine the extent to which a mail piece meets design requirements.
Download PDFs of Quick Service Guide 201, 201b, 301, 301b, 602, 810, 811, and 820 from the Postal Explorer web site http://pe.usps.com/text/qsg300/q000.htm.
Order Notice 67, Automation Template and Notice 3-A, Letter-size Mail Dimensional Standards Template from the business center that services your ZIP code or from your MDA. Find your MDA at http://pe.usps.gov/mpdesign/mpdfr_mda_lookup.asp.
Train Your Staff
Train your CSRs to ask customers at job intake whether postage savings should be considered when designing the mail piece. If so, be sure the CSR conveys that information to the graphic designer. Train your graphic designer in the physical characteristics of mail pieces, address panel requirements, and the format for indicia.
Take these steps, and you'll earn the best postage rates for your customers and the gratitude of the bulk mail acceptance clerk.

Good afternoon, I'm configuring a new install of LSWS 4.1.12 and I'm having some trouble with some static content. For pages with a number of static resources (like a category page of an eCommerce site), an image or two will randomly not load. In Chrome, it reports this simply as "(failed)" in the Network viewer. In Firefox, it displays part of the image that it downloaded, and reports "image is corrupt or truncated" in Firebug. It doesn't seem to be any sort of per-connection limits, since transmission is happening; they're just.... stopping. What's interesting to me is that for the most part, they seem to be stopping on common byte sizes: 4096 and 8192. I don't know if that's useful information. Also I've only seen it happen with images. I don't know if that has anything to do with where in the DOM they're located (the top) whereas the images that fail are generally in the second half of requests for a page. There are no logs being generated anywhere that I've found, so it's not something I have any current insight into. Anyone have any configuration settings I may be able to try? Thanks!
are these static files served straight or via php ? access log (i.e. /usr/local/lsws/logs/access.log) should show if the images files are served
Thanks for the response. a) They are static, being served directly by the filesystem. b) They are being served. See the following (sanitized) log: 220.127.116.11 - - [19/Apr/2012:13:07:06 -0500] "GET /media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/165x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/m/y/my_image.png HTTP/1.1" 200 4096 "[referer]" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_3) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.162 Safari/535.19" As you can see, it only served 4096 bytes. The file itself is 19059 bytes.
No, I always get the full file on direct access. And just to be clear, it's only one or two (out of anywhere between 30 - 40) that only has partial content on a page load, not every image. Hitting a single file directly seems to be just fine. Though maybe I can set up ab to try to hit the same image repeatedly and see if any thread gets a different content size. If I 'downgrade' to 4.1.11, would I be able to keep my settings, or would I have to go through re-compiling PHP and setting up my vhosts?
all your settings is there, no need re-compile PHP etc, and your 4.1.12 still there. switching between lsws versions is just one button click: lsws admin console->Actions->Version Manager->SwitchTo
Great, thank you. I was able to find the download for 4.1.11, installed and switched to it (didn't have it previously). In any case, it seems your suspicion may be correct - I spent a good 15 minutes clicking around the same pages as before, but not seeing any of the same image truncation issues as I did with 4.1.12. Out of curiosity, does that indicate an issue with LSWS, or my environment?
This is an issue with 4.1.12 I am seeing this also on my websites. It seems a bug in LSWS itself. Please fix this ASAP. This is a rather urgent bug that needs attention. I also get random images being truncated, upon refresh most of them load just fine.
to help troubleshoot, check server access log for the image in question and verify if it was served partial and fully served on browser refresh.
I did a force reinstall already and the issue still persists. I checked the log files and the file is actually served partially for some unknown reason. This is a static image. I have exactly the same problem that the thread starter has. I am thinking it must be a bug that needs fixing, oh btw i am on Cpanel/WHM 184.108.40.206

Col. Craig J. Agena, Chief of the Bilateral Coordination Action Team's U.S. contingency at Camp Sendai, visited the Nobiru and Rikuzen-Ono train stations in Higashi Matsushira with other U.S. and Japanese military members, as well as city officials.
The stations were destroyed in the March tsunami brought on by a 9.0 earthquake off the northeast coast of Japan.
Col. Agena inspected the sites and spoke to Japanese officials in order to help facilitate bilateral operations set to clear wreckage and debris as part of a joint effort to restore local transportation.
Agena, who attended the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center's Japanese school as part of the Foreign Area Officer (FAO) program in 1991 and 1992, was called to duty in support of Operation Tomodachi shortly after the disaster struck.

FHFA falls short on cybersecurity
Tuesday - 5/4/2010, 9:30am EDT
Naba Barkakati, Chief Technologist, GAO
Click below to hear the interview
Cybersecurity Update - Tune in weekdays at 30 minutes past the hour for the latest cybersecurity news on The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Jane Norris (6-10 a.m.) and The Daily Debrief with Chris Dorobek and Amy Morris (3-7 p.m.). Listen live at FederalNewsRadio.com or on the radio at 1500 and 820 AM in the Washington, D.C. metro area.
- The Federal Housing Finance Agency is being urged to improve its information security controls. The Government Accountability Office says the agency needs to do a better job at protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of financial information stored on its databases and networks. Naba Barkakati, the Chief Technologist at the GAO, joins us with an inside look at GAO's report. Hear more about it in the audio above.
- Security experts in the world's public and private sectors worry their networks are not safe. 7-in-10 public officials in a poll from the nonpartisan EastWest Institute say networks outside outside of government could use some help. About 4-in-10 private sector experts say public networks are not secure enough. The poll surveyed almost 140 people in several countries, including the US, Russia and China.
- Organizations slow to adopt IP version 6 are in danger of falling behind in their ability to sustain presence on the internet. That's because the exhaustion of remaining IP version 4 addresses is accelerating. InfoWorld reports predictions that IP version 4 would last until the end of next year have been overtaken by an apparent rush to buy up the remaining blocks. Some experts now say the exhaustion will occur this year, and are warning of a black market in IP version 4 addresses. New hardware and software is IP version 6 only, meaning some users and applications could end up isolated in islands of version 4.

Similar Items:From Studio artists to gigging musicians, Gibson's Les Paul Studio is pure rock tone.
Since 1983, Gibson USA has been proving not only that less is sometimes more, but also that less can sometimes knock your socks off – when it comes in the form of the popular no-nonsense Les Paul Studio model, at least. Originally designed as a model for studio artists but adopted wholeheartedly by countless players of all stripes, the 2013 Les Paul Studio combines stripped-down appointments with the full tonal splendor and unrivaled playability of a Les Paul Standard.
All the elements of the legendary Les Paul Standard are still there, including that fat and sweet maple-and-mahogany tone through two genuine Gibson humbucking pickups. By eliminating a little of the window dressing – namely, building the guitar without binding around the body top or fingerboard, and applying an elegant gold silkscreened logo in place of an inlay – the Les Paul Studio weighs in at a price that players have found irresistible for three decades.
Crucial elements of the Les Paul Studio's design include the carved maple top and mahogany body, glued-in mahogany neck with back-angled headstock, granadillo fingerboard, Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece – all design points that have been making Les Pauls the most desirable tone monsters available since the late 1950s. For electronics, a set of Gibson's 498T and 490R Alnico humbucking pickups squeeze every drop of tone from the instrument, and now feature coil-taps for an even broader range of tonal possibilities.
With these classic ingredients, the Les Paul Studio gives you all the sonic versatility you could ask for, from sultry, warm bluesy tones to powerful crunch to sizzling lead tones. Finally, the Les Paul Studio is supremely playable too, thanks to its slim-taper 60's neck profile and a chambered mahogany body that reduces the weight while enhancing resonance, making it outstandingly comfortable strapped on or seated. Includes case.
Don't settle for less. Order your Les today.

Comments about Gibson 2013 Les Paul Studio Left-Handed Electric Guitar:
This is the real deal. However, the axe being reviewed is actually a 2012 radiant red model. The guitar coming out of the box is without any obvious imperfection(s). Set-up is imminently playable. Intonation is spot on. Every fret, every string, every note - no problem. Perfect? For those with OCD and other attention to perfection, one may be able to find something. For those who want a fine instrument, the Studio is one to own. MF is also to be commended for their customer service from inquiry to delivery.

Comments about Gibson 2013 Les Paul Studio Left-Handed Electric Guitar:
An iconic instrument . . . with only two things they didn't get right:
1. Out-of-the-box I had to have the guitar serviced. The truss rod had to be adjusted. There is still a sligh buzz on the thick strings at the first fret.
2. Mine is an all-black Studio model with perfectly polished chrome hardware. Why on earth do they put the headstock lettering "Gibson" and "Les Paul Model" in gold? I've seen Gibsons with silver lettering; I cannot understand why they wouldn't notice or care about this!
