Teatro Faenza
Las Nieves Carrera, Bogota, ColombiaMap
Neighborhood: Downtown
Teatro Faenza is one of the oldest theaters in Bogota and is now a National Monument. However, earlier the structure was in the state of abandon and neglect and had lost its former glory. Around 2009, an initiative was taken to restore and retain this treasure of art. Accordingly, the theater was refurbished and now it hosts a variety of events ranging from drama, musicals, concerts and other cultural events. For detailed information, call ahead or check website.

Voldemort: The Psycho Dark Lord of Hogsmeade (Sweeney Todd Gone Potter) by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 41]
Summary: The final installment of my set of Broadway musical spoofs about Voldemort's life!
This is Stephen Sondheim's brilliant musical, Sweeney Todd, but drastically warped and twisted by me. If you ever wanted to hear a song where Voldemort tries to encourage Fenrir to eat various Potterverse characters, this is the fic for you.
My other two spoofs about Voldemort, those of Les Miserables and Wicked, can be found on my profile. I've also got spoofs of Phantom of the Opera, High School Musical, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Enjoy!
Vanity and Pride by Ironic Inspiration
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 20]
What is a story without a scandal?
Underneath every burn hole on the tapestry of the Black family tree, there is a story, and underneath every story, there is a scandal.
In 1924, the Blacks were the most powerful family of the Wizarding World. They were greedy, back-stabbing, malicious, and power-hungry. And Cedrella was no exception. She was her father's favourite daughter; the pride of the Blacks, and it has earned her a conceited nature like no other.
But during her seventh year at Hogwarts, her life begins to become a little more clear, her family a little more conniving. She is arranged to wed the infamous Abraxus Malfoy and has people watching her every move to make sure she follows through. It makes it even more difficult when Septimus Weasley, a blood traitor and fellow classmate, starts to convince her, that for once in her life, she could have what she wanted.
A scandal forms between the two; a forbidden love between Black and Weasley behind the walls of Hogwarts. If they are found out, their lives will be ruined. But even under the opposition, what a Black wants...
a Black gets.

Voldy Therapy by PadfootBaby
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 30]
Summary: A psychiatrist unexpectedly shows up on Voldemorts doorstep one day and claims to be his therapist. A series of frightening and quite disturbing subjects are soon covered, including sunbathing, treacherous followers, unicorns, names, the hippie era, evil bunny rabbits, and hair. After each session, work becomes increasingly frustrating for Voldemort, until he realizes that the therapy has taken away his love for killing things. He angrily attempts to return to the life he used to have, but torturing Harry Potter and his dorky little friends doesnt seem quite as fun as it used to...
Culminates in the final... er... battle? between Lord Voldemort and Harry.

Voldy's Deathpants by Deathpants, Mind_Over_Matter, wendelin the wierd, cmwinters, Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 53]
Summary: The Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters are locked in battle over a highly important magical artifact known to most as Voldy's Deathpants, in bold letters like that. However, they go about battle in a, er, highly unusual way-- a Quidditch match!
Probably the silliest thing that's ever appeared on this site, featuring highly OOC behaviour.
Deathpants is a team of writers consisting of Mind_Over_Matter, cmwinters, wendelin the wierd, and Schmerg_The_Impaler. Our story was written in Round Robin format. This (and our deranged minds) explains its randomness. Enjoy!
The insanity of the Deathpants has gotten to the mods! This ridiculous story WON the 2008 Quicksilver Quill Award for Best Humour Story!
Voldemort's Night Before Christmas by Scheherazade

Israel: New settlement housing after bloody attack
JERUSALEM Israel responded defiantly Sunday to a bloody Palestinian assault against West Bank settlers by approving construction of new settlement housing, retaliating for the stabbing deaths of a father, mother and three small children with a measure that infuriated Palestinians and, together with the attack, threw already shaky peace efforts into a new tailspin.
Even in a country long accustomed to violence, the grisly details of the killings late Friday stunned Israel. Among the victims were a 4-year-old boy and his baby sister. Their pictures leaped from Israel's front pages, pushing news of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami disaster aside.
As Israel's military searched for the Palestinian suspects in a broad sweep in the West Bank, thousands of mourners thronged a Jerusalem cemetery for the funeral.
"There is not a Jewish heart that is not shedding a tear," Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger said in a eulogy, his voice cracking in anguish. "After such horrific pictures, with whom do we have to sit and talk peace?"
Mourners screamed and wailed as the bodies of the three male victims were brought in wrapped in white and black prayer shawls, the two females in blue shrouds. The pouch containing the infant was no larger than a potato sack.
Many rocked back and forth in prayer as speakers addressed the audience, and family members collapsed in grief. Some mourners bore signs in Hebrew reading, "The government demolishes homes, Arabs murder Jews."
The bloodshed, which shattered a lengthy lull in the West Bank, threatened to drive Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking even further out of reach. Peace talks have been stalled since September, and the combination of deadly violence against Israelis and new settlement construction was likely to deepen the mutual distrust.
Officials said assailants cut through a fence surrounding the settlement of Itamar, entered the home of the Fogel family and killed the parents - Udi, 36, and Ruth, 35, - and three of their children, Yoav, 11, Elad, 4 and 3-month-old Hadas. An older daughter who was out with friends came home and discovered the carnage. The attack took place shortly after the family finished the weekly dinner celebrating the Jewish Sabbath.
Footage of the gory scene broadcast on Israeli media showed children's toys in pools of blood and tipped over furniture. A settler group released photos of the dead lying on the floor with bloody wounds. One of the pictures showed the body of a baby and an adult laying on blood soaked sheets, further shocking already traumatized Israelis.
Israel indirectly blamed the Palestinian government for the carnage.
Israel has long contended that Palestinian textbooks and official media are full of hatred toward the Jewish state, and that killers of Israelis are often glorified.
On Sunday, a group of activists from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement dedicated a square in the West Bank city of Ramallah after Dalal Mughrabi, a female militant who carried out a 1978 bus attack that killed 37 Israelis. Aides to Abbas said they tried to stop the ceremony and the move was not officially sanctioned.

Re: 1984 c&c 35-3
Thanks guys. Finally got to see her on Friday - it is a beautiful boat. One owner, well mentained, everything appeared to be in as good condition as it possibly could be for the age. It was definitely dry below, but I was concerned about cracks on deck. I noticed cracking in the gel-coat everywhere on deck. I walked around the deck and applied some pressure in a lot of places and never felt any give. How concerning is this on boat this age? I was otherwise blown away by the condition of the boat - it was wonderfully maintained (professionaly, at large yacht yard in Chicago).

Two former Warner Chilcott sales representatives, Lisa Alexander and James Goan, have blown the whistle with a bundle of allegations, including illegal marketing tricks, kickbacks and privacy violations. Federal laws and regulations restrict the way pharmaceutical companies market, sell and distribute their products, and the plaintiffs claim that Warner Chilcott simply trampled over them.
Scope of the allegations
The more than 250-page complaint describes in detail how two whistleblowers exposed Warner Chilcott's disregard for the rules in marketing nine drugs. The allegations include the following:
An example of Warner Chilcott's practices is how it hired young and inexperienced sales reps and directed them to wine-and-dine doctors in violation of state law or get fired.
Violation of the False Claims Act
Plaintiffs also provided evidence that Warner Chilcott violated the False Claims Act. Through its carefully orchestrated scheme of paying kickbacks, falsifying prior authorization requests, making false and misleading promotional claims and other illegal promotional practices, Warner Chilcott caused the submission of false claims to government programs in violation of the federal False Claims Act. In total, the two whistleblowers initiated 33 claims against the pharmaceutical giant.
Whistleblower award
The complaint alleges that Warner Chilcott's illegal conduct caused the United States and qui tam states to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to the defendant for illegal claims. The complaint further states that patients were subjected to unapproved, unsafe uses of Warner Chilcott's drugs. The amount of damages is going to be in the hundreds of millions.

15 Celebrity Moms Who Put Their Kids On Reality Television
Featuring children on reality television has always been a hot button issue, and celebrities are big violators of this epidemic. The latest celebrity mom to add to the list is Rachel Zoe who will feature her baby boy Skylar on the upcoming fourth season of The Rachel Zoe Project.
Along with Zoe, many women have come before her including Bethenny Frankel, Sharon Osbourne, Kourtney Kardashian, and Tori Spelling.
Below, check out the other celebrity moms who more or less forced their children to be on reality television. Because let's be real. None of these kids had a choice in the matter – except for Jack and Kelly Osbourne.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A semi-remote location creates a relaxing vibe for the hotel, but takes away from restaurant and dining options
Away from the hustle and bustle of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, this hotel sits almost exactly between the two cities. Restaurants and bars aren't within walking distance, but shuttles run to Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo regularly, and taxis are always available.
San Jose del Cabo is the quainter, historic option. The waters are rough and there's less of a nightlife, but the area retains its Mexican flair and features numerous restaurants and galleries. Cabo San Lucas presents visitors with stunning scenery and a distinct Mexican charm, especially around the coastline. The large cluster of rock formations on Land's End is famously beautiful, and there's great whale watching January through March (particularly in March). Old churches, charming restaurants, and handicraft vendors prove that this town is more than just a wild spring-break getaway.
One reason why Los Cabos remains a staple in the beach resort world is its California-esque vibe. It almost feels like an extension of Southern California, with similar deluxe accommodations, striking golf courses, and high-end shops.
Melia Cabo is a sprawling, 305-room beachfront all-inclusive in between the cities of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. Common areas feature chic modern decor touches, like bright red lounge chairs in the lobby and flowy fabrics draped across ceilings and outdoor patios. Rooms are spacious, clean, and come with an airy, fresh style (though some feature old tube TVs). The grounds are lovely and feature plenty of lounge seating and cabanas, assorted ping-pong tables, a sprawling pool, and even a swim-able (though small) beach area (unusual around San Jose del Cabo, where waters are rough). The pool's swim-up bar is a perk, but has received some complaints of poor upkeep, and the "separate" kiddy pool is really just separated by some in-water pylons -- though an impeccable 10-person Jacuzzi is perched on a top level overlooking the ocean. Being that it's not within walking distance from Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo much dining, drinking, and entertainment will be done on-site; only two restaurants are available, which may feel a bit limiting on a long vacation.

Plasticity Forum Announces Fourth International Conference in Cascais, Portugal
The Plasticity Forum announced on 13th March, 2015, its fourth annual conference will be held June 8 – 9 in Cascais, Portugal. The forum will form part of a global series of events in Portugal on the ocean, our impact on it and the opportunities to our broader communities via strengthened stewardship: The Economist's World Ocean Summit and Portugal's Blue Week. Building on the success of the previous Plasticity Forums in Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong and New York, this year's forum will focus on "Designing for Circularity, Customer Engagement, Reverse Supply Chains and Reaching Scale." Click here to read our press release.
Plastic – A Wasted Opportunity
It's versatile, it's cheap, and it's incredibly convenient. Yet despite being designed to throw away, plastic simply doesn't go away. The 4th annual Plasticity Forum is coming to Europe in 2015, and we hope to see you there, as this forum will bring together decision makers, innovators, brands, international associations, policy makers, and many more. You won't want to miss this big discussion on plastic, and what companies and organizations are doing to reduce its waste impact.
Every year 280 million tons of plastic is produced globally, yet estimates suggest that only 10% each year is actually recycled. Capturing this waste stream presents a significant and untapped business opportunity, as does the redesign of packaging, and the thought process around waste creation.
The Plasticity Forum presents ideas and opens up discussions on how to harness this material in new ways, both "pre" and "post" consumer use. We address design, materials, innovations, re-use, and waste reduction in the aim of encouraging further innovations within plastic use and powerful collaborations between our community which includes producers, users, recyclers, designers, innovators and entrepreneurs.
In June 2015, Portugal will host the Blue Week, a meeting platform for all of those who care about the ocean.The Blue Week has three dimensions: business dynamics, strategic thinking and political discussion. Portugal wants to be a reference in the international discussion and action on the ocean. Its maritime vocation, its strategic position and Portugal's will to build a sustainable blue economy are orientating the country's navigation. Will you join this adventure? Click here to learn more.
The Economist Events' third World Ocean Summit will be held 3rd June, 2015, in Cascais, Portugal. The Summit ambitiously aims to set a new global agenda for the ocean economy, as it will convene more than 250 global leaders from various sectors with direct interests in the oceans and igniting a constructive dialogue on solution. This event will be a great warm-up for Plasticity, since we'll discuss the prevention of plastic in our waters and how to scale solutions in our communities and business environments.

The first Plasticity Forum was held in Rio de Janeiro at the the Rio+20 Earth Summit, and was followed by a highly successful event at the Asia Society in Hong Kong in June, 2013. Plasticity is about bringing together leaders who can learn and collaborate with one another to help scale up some of the great solutions which are now coming to market. The goal is to have a world where plastic is used, but without creating a plastic footprint on our communities. Plasticity Forums showcase sustainable solutions and market opportunities for transforming plastic waste into a valuable resource.

50 things to do in the Twin Cities before you die

I've certainly quibbled with Gardenhire's decisions from time to time, but all of that stuff looks like so much nonsense in the light of the Twins' division series victory over the heavily favored Oakland Athletics. You can go ahead and consider Gardenhire the luckiest man in the world, but how then do you account for the fact that he rode a hobbled horse to a 94-win season and a spot in the American League Championship Series?
As gripping, and to be honest, as unexpected as the Twins victory over the A's in the Divisional Series was, the real story beyond all the tangled plot lines and excruciating drama was Gardenhire's performance in the biggest games of his life. His decision to start Brad Radke in game one was heavily scrutinized and widely derided; conventional wisdom said that Rick Reed, the team's best and most consistent starter down the stretch, deserved the nod. Radke, of course, proceeded to pitch the team through the abysmal opening innings of game one (during which the Twins coughed up four unearned runs behind him) and gutted out five innings to get the win. That game was merely prelude to the veteran's spectacular performance in the pivotal fifth game, in which he dueled Oakland lefty Mark Mulder and held the A's to one run in six and-two-thirds innings. For the series he was 2-0 with a 1.54 ERA.
Gardenhire is not a guy who gets terribly uptight; watching him chuckle in the dugout as his team played like beer league yahoos in the first couple innings of that first game was one of the most encouraging signs in the series. All season, the Twins have followed their manager's lead, and game one was a classic example, as they settled down and once again fought their way back to scratch out a victory on Oakland's turf.
Gardenhire's choice of rookie Michael Cuddyer as his right field starter in the series also raised plenty of eyebrows, including mine. Cuddyer spent most of the season in AAA Edmonton, and hit only .259 in 112 at bats with the Twins. Switch hitter Bobby Kielty's on base percentage alone was almost 100 points higher than Cuddyer's, and he hit .291 for the season.
Cuddyer, of course, rewarded Gardenhire's vote of confidence by going 2-3 with a run, an RBI, and a walk in the first game, and the rookie was 5-13 with three walks in the series.
In the fifth game, with the Twins season on the line, and the left handed Mulder on the hill for Oakland, Gardenhire shook things up for the first time in the postseason, starting switch-hitter Denny Hocking at second base for Luis Rivas, and right-handed Matthew LeCroy for David Ortiz at designated hitter. Both moves paid off immediately, as LeCroy singled and later scored the first run on a two-out single by Hocking in the second inning. In the third LeCroy singled home Cristian Guzman for the Twins second run. For the game Hocking and LeCroy were a combined 4-7 with two RBIs and a run scored. The addition of those two right-handed bats in the line-up for the Twins was huge. It also wasn't a particularly characteristic move by Gardenhire. As they have all year, Minnesota's left-handed hitters struggled against the A's lefthander, going 0-14 in the game five victory. The right-handed bats in the line-up, however, battered Mulder for nine hits in fourteen at bats. And the Twins lefties finally got their shot when Oakland manager Art Howe brought on his closer, the right-handed Billy Koch, to try to keep the game close in the ninth. Koch walked Dustan Mohr, who swings from the right side, and a batch of lefthanders gave the Twins all the insurance runs they would need: A.J. Pierzynski hit a two-run homer, and then, with two out, Guzman reached on an infield single, Corey Koskie walked, and David Ortiz (brought on as a pinch hitter for LeCroy in the eighth) doubled home Guzman for the fifth and ultimately decisive run.

Suddenly the Twins are far behind, but neither Ivy nor Reynolds seems too concerned. She notes that her nickname, T.C., is the same as that of the Twins mascot, and ponders another wine cooler. He talks about seeing his first game at Met Stadium when he was six years old and half-jokingly cries out, "Let's rally!" when the Twins come up to bat again.
But the rally never comes, and the inning ends without the Twins scoring. Ivy and Reynolds stand up to return to their seats. They'll be back, Reynolds promises, maybe in the sixth, the next rally inning.

The Soho Hotel
4 Richmond Mews, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Soho
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
London's Soho Hotel is impossibly glamorous and opulent, a luxury boutique that is at once classic and original—classic in the now-familiar London sense of overstated and outsized comfort, robust and enveloping furnishing and fixtures (as compared to the papier-mache set construction in lesser boutiques) and original in its avoidance of worn-out tropes like featureless white rooms, cheap 'Zen' minimalism and off-the-rack hotel-standard furniture.
The only complaint one could possibly lodge is that the hotel's immediate surroundings are a bit less than scenic; and it's true that the neighboring buildings are all drab apartment blocks, which does little for the hotel's views. But the Soho location is obviously highly desirable, and nobody seems to grumble—in fact one could argue that the 'arty' districts in any town are likely to be the most artlessly planned.
Once inside, though, there's plenty to look at—the rooms are decorated in a rich, idiosyncratic style, modern yet decidedly warm, and more spacious than any London hotel room has a right to be. Wide loft-style windows let in plenty of sunlight, and the fifth-floor suites (the penthouses and the Wallpaper*-approved Soho Suite) open onto private terraces with stunning panoramic views of the city.
The hotel's public spaces include two private cinemas, featuring garish leather armchairs by Poltrona Frau, and two separate drawing rooms with fireplaces and honor bars. A restaurant and fitness center ensure you don't absolutely have to venture outside, and if on business, you can reserve one of the event rooms and have your appointments brought to you—though to be a shut-in would be to entirely miss the point, as the location is easily half of the hotel's appeal. Otherwise it would just be called The Hotel…
How to get there:
The Soho Hotel is a 10-minute walk from both the Leicester Square and Tottenham Court Road tube stations. If you're arriving from Heathrow Airport the most convenient transfer option to central London is the Heathrow Express train, which leaves Heathrow Airport every 15 minutes and takes 15 minutes to arrive at Paddington Station. One-way fares are available from £18 and round-trip fares from £32. By black cab, The Soho Hotel is approximately a 45 minute ride from Heathrow Airport (depending on traffic) and can cost upwards of £50.

What I liked:
I love this hotel and once again it exceeded my expectations.
The room was fantastic, really spacious and with a wonderful bathroom. The location is also great.
As always the service from all the staff was superb and they consistently made us feel really welcome and looked after.
The bar had a great atmosphere and we really enjoyed stopping in there for a few hours for some food and wine.
What the hotel could do better:
The only small point is that given the stairs at the entrance to the hotel is surprised me that there was no bellboy to help with the luggage.

- Excerpt from Recent Changes to California Privacy Law Have Nationwide Implications:
Several key developments have taken place in the privacy arena in the last few weeks. California expanded both its privacy policy and data breach notification laws in ways that will have national implications. The FTC made its first foray into regulating the "Internet of Things" by bringing an enforcement against a home security camera manufacturer. And, the Fifth Circuit gave new life to plaintiffs in data breach cases by finding that the economic loss doctrine did not bar data breach negligence claims in certain situations. We address each of these developments below.

Indian troops kill Pakistani soldier in Kashmir
ISLAMABAD Indian troops shot and killed a Pakistani soldier who crossed the makeshift border separating Indian and Pakistani held Kashmir, officials said Friday, in a development that threatened to upset the delicate ceasefire in a region claimed by both countries.
The incident in Kashmir evoked similar episodes in January, in which three Pakistani soldiers and two Indian soldiers were killed. The deaths have ratcheted up tensions in an area where the two countries have long battled for dominance.
A Pakistani military official initially told reporters in a text message Friday that the soldier was reported killed on Thursday night after he'd accidentally crossed the line of control that separates the Pakistani- and the Indian-held sides of Kashmir, but gave no details. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with military protocol.
In a more strident statement later Friday, the Pakistani military accused the Indian troops of killing the soldier after he identified himself and explained why he was accidentally in their territory.
The statement, from the public relations arm of the Pakistani military, said that civilians had seen the Pakistani soldier being questioned by the Indian military and told Pakistani officials. Pakistani officials then approached the Indians, asking them to hand over the soldier. But when generals from both sides spoke this morning, the Indian side reported that the Pakistani soldier had been killed, according to the statement.
"We condemn such an inhuman and brutal act of killing our soldier after he had identified himself and explained his position," the statement read. Inter Services Public Relations said that in previous incidents, when Indian soldiers have strayed into Pakistani territory, they have been returned.
Pakistan's foreign ministry also condemned the killing.
"The killing of our soldier who had lost his way and inadvertently crossed the Line of Control, goes against the understanding reached between Pakistan and India on speedy return of inadvertent line crossers and has the potential to further vitiate the atmosphere," it said in a statement.
Pakistan has asked India to carry out a thorough investigation into the incident and ensure it does not recur. But the Indians blamed the Pakistani soldier, saying he had begun firing when confronted by their troops.
Lt. Col. Rajesh Kalia, a spokesman for the Indian army in Kashmir, said the soldier was killed in a firefight with Indian troops in which an Indian soldier was injured. He said Indian troops had seen "suspicious movement" in the Nowshera sector of the line of control.
"Our troops challenged him. This individual resorted to indiscriminate firing. Our troops retaliated. In the ensuing firefight, he was killed, and one of our soldiers was injured," Kalia said.
Kalia added that Indian forces realized the dead man was a soldier "after the Pakistan army contacted our officers."
"We are returning his body with full respect as a soldier deserves," he said.
Pakistan and India have fought two of their three wars over the Muslim-dominated region that each claim as their own. Any incident along the line adds to the tensions.

Gasoline fell a third consecutive day as refinery maintenance lessened. Crack spreads and calendar spreads weakened.
May gasoline's premium to June narrowed 0.66 cent to 1.28 cents a gallon amid speculation that supplies will rise as spring maintenance ends. The May gasoline crack spread versus West Texas Intermediate slipped $1.39 to $31.80 a barrel and the premium to Brent dropped $1.69 to $17.49. Philadelphia Energy Solutions restarted units late last week at the largest refinery along the U.S. East Coast.
"We have more refineries coming out of maintenance and gasoline is not being helped by technical factors," said Amrita Sen, chief oil market strategist at Energy Aspects Ltd., a research company in London.
Gasoline for May delivery fell 4.75 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $3.0542 a gallon at 10:05 a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Trading volume on the Nymex was 109 percent above the 100-day average.
Gasoline traded below the 20-day, 30-day and 40-day moving averages. Prices have fallen 6.5 percent from the 2013 intraday high of $3.2672 reached on March 11.
"We're getting more in line with reality," said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago. "You have weaker crude prices, weaker demand and you're going to see a lot of production coming online shortly."
Ultra-low-sulfur-diesel for May delivery rose 1.68 cents to $3.0855 a gallon on volume that was 36 percent above the 100-day average 10:09 a.m. ULSD traded at a 3.13-cent premium to gasoline.
Gasoline at the pump, averaged nationwide, rose 0.3 cent to $3.637 a gallon, AAA said today on its website. Prices are 28.8 cents below a year earlier after falling in March for the first time in 10 years, according to AAA data.

The History of the R.A.T. program
posted June 10, 2014
Hello everyone! So far on the R.A.T. Blog we have learned more about your four fantastic R.A.T. Leaders, have been given a history of how our lovely school came to be, and now we are going to discover the origins of the R.A.T. Program! I'm sure you all have been wondering how our founders came up with the acronym (R.A.T. stands for Rookie Auburn Tiger for those who didn't know), how the program was initially developed, and how it came to be the fun-filled establishment that it is today!
Once upon a time, in the loveliest village on the Plains, the founders of our noble school sought a way to distinguish new students. All freshmen at Auburn University used to be called R.A.T.s. The story goes that when freshmen rode into town on the train, they scattered as soon as they got off, and the locals said that it looked like "rats scattering". The name stuck, the acronym was made up, and the R.A.T.s were given beanies to wear. I'm sure that they could not imagine then that we would still be calling freshman this term of endearment all these many years later!
While the university has dropped this term, the Auburn University Marching Band happily carries on the tradition. In fact, as late as the mid-eighties, freshmen and first year members of the marching band still had to wear the beanies! In the beginning of the R.A.T. program, there were three R.A.T. Leaders, one chosen from each of the musical service organizations at the time- Kappa Kappa Psi, Phi Mu Alpha, and Tau Beta Sigma—to serve as Freshman Advisers in the marching band. Their job, as ours is today, was to help the freshmen assimilate to college and to ensure that they have an enjoyable time at Preseason Camp.
In 1995, the AUMB decided to open the position to the entire band. The band choose two band members, one guy and one girl, to fill the roles of R.A.T. leader. When Dr. Good came to be the marching band director, R.A.T. Leaders were chosen from each of the 4 main groups of the band: brass, woodwind, percussion, and Tiger Eyes. They not only served as freshmen advisers, but also liaisons to each of the sections. Today, R.A.T. Leaders can come from any section in the band. I'm from the flag line, Adam plays saxophone, Jessica plays trumpet, and Drew plays mellophone.
We have a long history of wonderful traditions to uphold and the best part is that those who join us at Preseason camp will become a part of those traditions! I hope you have enjoyed learning the history of the R.A.T. Program. Be on the lookout for next week's blog post, a guest piece on Auburn traditions by the AUMB Drum Majors, which is sure to be just as interesting and informative!

Thats not strictly true guitarjock, the question was ..
Timeline layout for their brand / business on facebook.
That doesnt necessarily mean their envato stuff.
I dont see this as any different to the lets build up our social networks thread.
We use the new timeline, for a new business we are working on. Has bugger all to do with envato, so i am sure that wouldnt be classed as self promotion. As its a facebook link.
Either way, if ppl cant post links then the only logical acceptable replies to this thread are , yes or no. Which is kinda pointless, unless you work for fb and are canvassing opinion, then its time to add polls to envato.Plus, if we are to post what kind of content we include in our timeline, at some point someone is gonna cross the lines of envato acceptable post policy.
I suppose you are right. I just tend to keep links to my items out of the threads, unless it's in the item request section, or item discussion section. That seems to be the best way to keep from crossing the line. But I do agree with you.
That makes sense.
I suppose, ppl need a healthy mix of content.

MATTHEW HATTON will face brilliant Mexican youngster Saul Alvarez on Saturday March 5.
The European welterweight champion will face the undefeated star at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Alvarez, 20, is unbeaten in 36 professional contests and the hottest prospect in Golden Boy Promotions stable.
Matthew, 29, said: There is a lot of hype surrounding Alvarez and a lot of knowledgeable people are tipping him for greatness.
It is a big step up in class for me, but I have proven myself at European level and I am ready to move on.
Matthew and trainer Bob Shannon will fly out to California ten days before the clash, and older brother Ricky will be ringside cheering for him on fight night.
Manchesters Hatton added: So many fighters say they want to face the best, but when the opportunity comes along their mouths go dry, but this is what I am all about.
I will take on all-comers and the experience I have of fighting in big Las Vegas bills on my brothers undercard will be a great help. I am going there to win and prove that I belong in world class.
I know that Saul is the house fighter, but Golden Boy Promotions are very fair people and I have some good friends there so I know we will be looked after.
A lot of fighters spend weeks in America before a fight, but I will do all my hard training in our Hatton Health and Fitness facility.
Matthew has just handful of amateur fights before turning professional in September 2000. He boasts a record of 41 wins, four losses and two draws.
He is on a nine fight unbeaten streak and picked up the European 147lb championship last March, outpointing former WBC world title challenger Gianluca Branco.
In Matthews first defence he outpointed former WBA world champion Yuriy Nuzhnenko and back in November became the first man to beat Switzerlands Roberto Belge stopping him in three rounds.
The majority of Matthews fights have taken place in England, but this will be his seventh appearance in the United States. He has also boxed in Ireland and Monaco.

The Aquarium was great...however when we ordered tickets through Viator did we miss the SENIOR rate?
I don't remember seeing that posted. If that means an extra $15 for the aquarium...o.k. but i want to know if it was on your rate listing.

Taking Advantage of Linux Capabilities
A common topic of discussion nowadays is security, and for good reason. Security is becoming more important as the world becomes further networked. Like all good systems, Linux is evolving in order to address increasingly important security concerns.
One aspect of security is user privileges. UNIX-style user privileges come in two varieties, user and root. Regular users are absolutely powerless; they cannot modify any processes or files but their own. Access to hardware and most network specifications also are denied. Root, on the other hand, can do anything from modifying all processes and files to having unrestricted network and hardware access. In some cases root can even physically damage hardware.
Sometimes a middle ground is desired. A utility needs special privileges to perform its function, but unquestionable god-like root access is overkill. The ping utility is setuid root simply so it can send and receive ICMP messages. The danger lies in the fact that ping can be exploited before it has dropped its root privileges, giving the attacker root access to your server.
Fortunately, such a middle ground now exists, and it's called POSIX capabilities. Capabilities divide system access into logical groups that may be individually granted to, or removed from, different processes. Capabilities allow system administrators to fine-tune what a process is allowed to do, which may help them significantly reduce security risks to their system. The best part is that your system already supports it. If you're lucky, no patching should be necessary.
A list of all the capabilities that your system is, well, capable of, is available in /usr/include/linux/capability.h, starting with CAP_CHOWN. They're pretty self-explanatory and well commented. Capability checks are sprinkled throughout the kernel source, and grepping for them can make for some fun midnight reading.
Each capability is nothing more than a bit in a bitmap. With 32 bits in a capability set, and 28 sets currently defined, there are currently discussions as to how to expand this number. Some purists believe that additional capabilities would be too confusing, while others argue that there should be many more, even a capability for each system call. Time and Linus will ultimately decide how this exciting feature develops.
As of kernel 2.4.17, the file /proc/sys/kernel/cap-bound contains a single 32-bit integer that defines the current global capability set. The global capability set determines what every process on the system is allowed to do. If a capability is stripped from the system, it is impossible for any process, even root processes, to regain them.
For example, many crackers' rootkits (a set of tools that cover up their activities and install backdoors into the system) will load kernel modules that hide illicit processes and files from the system administrator. To counter this, the administrator could simply remove the CAP_SYS_MODULE capability from the system as the last step in the system startup process. This step would prevent any kernel modules from being loaded or unloaded. Once a capability has been removed, it cannot be re-added. The system must be restarted (which means you might have to use the power button if you've removed the CAP_SYS_BOOT capability) to regain the full-capability set.
Okay, I lied. There are two ways to add back a capability:
init can re-add capabilities, in theory; there's no actual implementation to my knowledge. This is to facilitate capability-aware systems in the event that init needs to change runlevels.
If a process is capable of CAP_SYS_RAWIO, it can modify kernel memory through /dev/mem. Among other things, it can modify kernel memory to grant itself whatever access it desires. Remove CAP_SYS_RAWIO, but be careful: by removing CAP_SYS_RAWIO, programs such as X most likely will fail to run.
Editing cap-bound by hand is kind of tedious. Fortunately for you, there's a utility called lcap that provides a friendlier interface to cap-bound. Here's how one would remove CAP_SYS_CHOWN:
lcap CAP_SYS_CHOWNOnce done, it becomes impossible to change a file's owner:
chown nobody test.txt chown: changing ownership of `test.txt': Operation not permittedHere's how you would remove all capabilities except CAP_SYS_BOOT, CAP_SYS_KILL and CAP_SYS_NICE:
lcap -z CAP_SYS_BOOT CAP_SYS_KILL CAP_SYS_NICEOne thing to note: modifying cap-bound restricts the capabilities of future processes only. Okay, not exactly future processes but any process that calls exec(2) (see the function compute_creds in the kernel source file fs/exec.c). Currently running processes keep the capabilities with which they started.
Modifying the capabilities of an existing process leads us into the next section, and here's the catch I spoke about above. Running lcap with no arguments lists what your system is capable of. If you see that CAP_SETPCAP is disabled, you need to make a change to your kernel. It's simple enough to describe here. In the kernel source tree, edit include/linux/capability.h. You're changing the lines:
#define CAP_INIT_EFF_SET to_cap_t(~0 & ~CAP_TO_MASK(CAP_SETPCAP)) #define CAP_INIT_INH_SET to_cap_t(0)
so that they read:
#define CAP_INIT_EFF_SET to_cap_t(~0) #define CAP_INIT_INH_SET to_cap_t(~0)and then recompile.
There's actually a reason that CAP_SETPCAP is disabled by default: it's deemed a security risk to leave it enabled on a production system (a patch exists for this condition but has yet to be applied as of this writing). To be on the safe side, make sure to remove this capability when you're done playing.
Doesn't work for me.
# execcap 'cap_net_raw=ep' /sbin/sucap nobody nobody /bin/ping www.yahoo.com
Caps: =ep cap_setpcap-ep
Caps: =
[debug] uid:65534, real uid:65534

Two-star general stripped of star and retired
Thursday - 8/28/2014, 9:11am EDT
A two-star Army general blamed for failing to properly investigate sexual assault and other allegations against a colonel on his staff will be retired with one star the Army announced Wednesday. The Associated Press's Robert Burns writes, "The decision by Army Secretary John M. McHugh comes more than a year after Maj. Gen. Michael T. Harrison was suspended from his duties as commander of U.S. Army forces in Japan. His case has been cited as evidence of why sex-crime victims say they don't trust the military to protect them, despite efforts by senior Pentagon officials, including Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, to make commanders accountable."

The previous article explained the first challenge which is co-existence:
Challenges of Migration from GroupWise to Exchange 2010: Co-Existence
In this article I will talk about one of the most annoying problems that may affect the migration which is meeting request between Exchange and GroupWise.
Meeting requests from GroupWise to Exchange working fine. However meeting requests from Exchange to GroupWise delivered as normal email without Accept/Deny buttons.
The following snapshot shows how GroupWise client receive the meeting request from Exchange:
As in the previous snapshot, meeting requests appear as normal email to the recipient.
From Exchange Management Console (EMC), open the properties of the mail contact created for GroupWise recipient and for Use MAPI rich text format select "Never", as the following snapshot
As expected GroupWise will never understand the MAPI format and will treat the meeting request as normal email.
This can be done for bulk users by simply execute the following cmdlet:
Get-MailContact |Set-MailContact -UseMapiRichTextFormat:never
After executing the cmdlet now the meeting request is a meeting request in GroupWise client:
Thanks Mohamed. This is an important step to ensure seamless coexistence. When using Coexistence Manager for GroupWise (www.quest.com/coexistence-manager-for-groupwise) to synchronize directories, this property is automatically set to ensure GroupWise users receive proper invitations.
Gentlemen, I've done this but it breaks another function with our GW 2012 and Exchange 2010 environment. That is, when an Exchange user accepts an email and selects to send a reply back the GroupWise user does not receive a notification. Any thoughts?

"Overall I'm very happy with my save the dates, the pictures looked better online then when it was printed but still very satisfied. Also, it was very worth the extra $$ to get the return address printed on the envelopes. Curving the corners makes a huge difference and makes it look much more expensive than it is. Delivery was supposed to be Wednesday, it was Thursday not a huge issue but still should be mentioned."
"I loved this! It makes my colors perfectly and came out beautifully. They shipped it fast and it was packages so meticulously. I love it!"
"My fiance and I chose the lovingly laced cards for our save the dates and we couldn't be happier with them. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved our save the dates:) The printing quality of our photo was perfect. This was the perfect save the date for us; the burlap and lace pattern matches the theme of our vintage-rustic wedding to a T! The designers were so amazing to work with, and I feel like they took all of our requests to heart. The only "negative feedback we got from some family members is that our last name wasn't on the card, only our first names, which wasn't an issue for us."
"for this card, all I did was add our picture! The card is so beautiful I did not want to change it! The paper is durable and perfect. Everyone has loved our save the dates! They came in so quickly after ordering. Great product!"
"I loved everything about this save the date. The designer made sure the font color and placement was perfect with the picture we chose. It was also printed and shipped very quickly."

Fall 2006 Environment & Society News Archive
Kathleen Tierney is a member of the Committee on Disaster Research in the Social Sciences: Future Challenges and Opportunities, which was responsible for writing the following report, which was released in mid-August. Committee activities were funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation and the National Research Council.
Facing Hazards and Disasters: Understanding Human Dimensions. 2006. National Academies Press, Washington, DC. 408 pp. ISBN 0-309-10178-6. www.nap.edu/
The report provides over thirty recommendations regarding research needs in the field of hazards and disasters.
In September, 2006, the Natural Hazards Center launched a new, updated and reorganized web site, at http://www.colorado.edu/hazards/
Lee Alston hosted the ISNIE (International Society of New Institutional Economics) 10th Annual Conference, "Institutions: Economic, Political and Social Behavior," Sept 21-24, 2006 at the Millennium House Hotel in Boulder. The program included over 50 panel sessions and a keynote lecture by the 1993 Economics Nobel Laureate Douglass C. North. The program for the conference can be found on the ISNIE website: www.isnie.org.
Chuck Howe gave the opening plenary talk at the annual Illinois State Water Conference at the University of Illinois in Urbana on Oct 4th. The topic was "Sharing Western Water Lessons with the Midwest", emphasizing that the semi-arid regions have evolved institutions and agencies to deal with water scarce situations. The "riparian water law" of the eastern states that evolved in England when water was used to power mills and that has been adopted by states east of the Mississippi is not suited to water scarcity. In the light of climate change and the likelihood of more frequent, more intense droughts in the upper Midwest, consideration of adoption of versions of the western institutions is appropriate now, before Midwestern water systems come under stress. In particular, the use of water withdrawal permits (somewhat akin to western water rights) that are tradable and divisible would be a desirable and probably acceptable first step.
Gilbert F. White remembered
With great sadness, we have to report that our dear friend, colleague, and mentor, Gilbert F. White, known worldwide as the "father of floodplain management" and one of the most distinguished and internationally recognized faculty members at the University of Colorado at Boulder, died on Oct. 5 at his home in Boulder. He was 94.
The world is a better place for having had Gilbert in its midst. Gilbert was that rare combination - a distinguished scientist and an outstanding humanitarian committed to translating scientific evidence into policy and programs to better people's lives. His was a life to celebrate.
Gilbert's family is planning a memorial on Saturday, November 11 at 1pm at the Spice of Life Event Center, 5706 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder.
Memorial gifts can be made to the Gilbert F. White Graduate Research Fellowship in Natural Hazards Mitigation. Checks should be made payable to the University of Colorado Foundation and sent to the Natural Hazards Center, University of Colorado, 482 UCB, Boulder, CO 80309-0482.
Alternatively, contributions can also be made to the Gilbert White Fellowships, Resources for the Future, 1616 P Street NW, Washington, DC 20036.

The Natural Hazards Center welcomes 2 REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) students, Nick Passanante and Ashly Barlau. Nick is a sophomore in the Political Science department at CU. His major academic interests include the American Political system, with particular interest in how specific social aspects of society (ie- terrorism, natural disasters, cultural aspects of individual geographic areas) impact political legislation, political leaders and political "language" and vice versa. Ashly is a junior in the Anthropology department at CU. Her main focus is the physical aspect of her field, perhaps in forensic anthropology, but is also interested in the cultural aspects. The Center looks forward to working with these two talented undergraduate researchers!
Sophia Liu is one of two current doctoral students to be transferred immediately into the interdisciplinary doctorate degree program in Technology, Media and Society, unanimously approved by the CU Board of Regents. Sophia is working as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Natural Hazards Center in the Environment and Society Program. Her current project is researching how people use technology such as cell phones to communicate in the midst of natural disasters.
