The West Ranch softball team beat Chaminade of West Hills by 11 runs on March 7.
We've been fortunate in our six years of doing the SCV Hoops Finale that on each occasion, special stories have come out.
It was all fun and games in the first half of the Signal's sixth annual SCV Hoops Finale on Saturday evening.
Golden Valley's Keilani Conner was playing with a purpose from the beginning of Saturday night's SCV Hoops Finale girls game at Valencia High School.
Sometimes you have to win in ugly fashion in the Foothill League, and that's exactly how West Ranch baseball head coach Casey Burrill felt after seeing his Wildcats defeat the Saugus Centurions 6-5 on Friday at Saugus High School.
After pitching a scoreless five-inning game against Saugus on Wednesday, Valencia pitcher Kevin Chandler delivered once more on Friday afternoon.
Coming into Foothill League play, UCLA-bound Hart Indians starting pitcher Jack Ralston wasn't sharp.
It's no secret that the Canyon boys track and field's strength is its sprinters.
Valencia boys tennis wasn't going to accept a moral victory by taking Foothill League title favorite West Ranch to the limit on Tuesday.
The start of Foothill League play in boys volleyball couldn't have started with a more intriguing matchup.
Golden Valley just threw the Foothill League for a loop.
If you were to construct the ideal sprint relay team based on sight alone, you'd likely pass on most of Canyon High School's athletes.
While the Foothill League has belonged to Golden Valley the last two years, it will be far from a cake walk for the Grizzlies to pull off a three-peat despite all the talent coming back.
There are two teams in the Foothill League with 2014 state finalist athletes returning to the fold this year - West Ranch senior thrower Nathan Bultman and Saugus senior distance runner Brian Zabilski.
This year's CIF-Southern Section Division II champion in the girls discus toss didn't even know the proper technique for the event a year ago.
When it came to big track and field meets, there was a pretty regular crowd that gathered around the shot put ring.
In the year of the pitcher in the Santa Clarita Valley, a shortstop is the 2015 All-Santa Clarita Valley Baseball Player of the Year.
Sunday's Shane & Brock Vereen Playmaker Football Camp at Valencia High is sold out and cannot take walk-ups.
Davey Woodland thought he and Parker McBride would have a good freshman campaign as West Ranch's No. 1 boys tennis doubles team. He thought they'd compete with every other school's No. 1 team and win two out of three sets in any given match.
Chad LeDuff had won two-straight Foothill League singles titles and lost just one league set over his three years of varsity play entering this season.
The reason why Santa Clarita Christian's Richard Min kept playing football even when times were tough was simple. His mother told him to.
You get the sense recent Saugus graduate Abbey Weitzeil knows she's headed for perpetually bigger and better things in the world of swim by the calmness with which she approaches races on a world stage.
Longtime Santa Clarita Valley Congressman Howard "Buck" McKeon's final appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point was West Ranch graduate and baseball player Hayden Cook.
Editor's note: Today marks the sixth in a series in which we recognize athletes from the local high schools who have proven that success isn't just measured by what one does on a field.
A memorable spring season for Santa Clarita Valley sports was given an exclamation point as the CIF-Southern Section honored some of the area's best athletes with All-CIF nods in baseball, softball and boys volleyball.
Editor's note: Today marks the fifth in a series in which we recognize athletes from the local high schools who have proven that success isn't just measured by what one does on a field.
Editor's note: Today marks the fourth in a series in which we recognize athletes from the local high schools who have proven that success isn't just measured by what one does on a field.
It'd be easy to write off Claire Sue Hyon Lee as just another book worm - a girl with her nose buried so far in a book that she's oblivious to the world around her - someone capable only of rattling off that Washington crossed the Delaware River in 1776 and that Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton squared off in 1804.
CLEVELAND (AP) - Revived by a fresh-faced shooting superstar and a first-year coach who made them believe, the Golden State Warriors again reign supreme.

I am getting out of 1911s, and I have a bunch of nice 1911 holsters to clear out:
From far left, clockwise:
Galco Concealable for 1911 Commander (Havana): $50
Galco Concealable for 1911 Commander (Black): $50
Andrews Leather MacDaniel II for 1911 Commander (Brown): $75
Andrews Leather MacDaniel II for 1911 Commander (Black): $75
J.W. O'Rourke Holster and Dual Mag Pouch (set, boned to fit 1911 with rail): $60
Galco single mag pouch: $25
Kramer IWB#3 Horsehide: currently paired with an Ed Brown Special Forces and not for sale separately (yet)
Tagua 1911 holster, black: $25 (will fit 1911 with rail)
I used all of these holsters to one degree or another, but they are all fully functional with no significant defects. There are cosmetic scuffs as would be expected from gear that has actually been used.

Earl Carter and Craig Williams from the Cisco Security Blog posted a great article on a recent wave of taxed related spear-phishing attacks (original post found HERE). What is interesting is how attackers leverage current trends as the theme for their malware. For example, we will probably see a bunch of March Madness attacks along with Tax related phishing this month since thats what people are searching for online. This contradictions the old belief that "safe searching" aka not going to adult websites or searching for free software will keep you safe from malware. The reality is the attackers want the most bang for their buck so they will target where the most people are at. In March, thats Tax season and March Madness. Here is the post from Cisco.

Don't Trust All Phone Calls: Phone Scams 2.0
There are many methods criminals will use to steal money that fall outside of normal attack channels. I was having dinner with a buddy from work and heard one of the most outrageous social engineering attack methods he recently experienced. To summarize, he had attackers call his home phone and try to get him to install malicious software. He figured out they were full of it yet went along with the scam for 20 minutes to see where they would take things. This post will cover his experience and variations of this attack seen in the wild.
Lesson learned …. don't trust somebody just because they called you. Make sure to tell your friends and family this message. If you do some Google research, you will find many non-technical people are being tricked by this form of attack. Continue reading
Phishing for Facebook logins with the WiFi Pineapple Mark V from HAK5 (Setup Guide)
I wrote about one of my favorite hot-spot honeypot tools known as the WiFI pineapple Mark IV last year HERE. The pineapple only cost $100 dollars and can be found at the HAK5 store.
To summarize what this bad boy does, it is a small portable attack tool that can run things such as Karma used to spoof trusted SSIDs and SSL strip to remove trusted connections while sniffing traffic. So for example, lets say your home network is PUPPYDOG123. When you're at home, your wireless devices will look for PUPPYDOG123 and connect if they see it. When the pineapple is present and running Karma, it can say back "Hey, I'm PUPPYDOG123 … connect to me". Your device will think its your network and connect. Traffic will go through the Pineapple so you think you are on a trusted network however the pineapple is between aka a man-in-the-middle attack. Continue reading
Cool Penetration Testing Application: Cobalt Strike
If you are familiar with penetration tools, then you should know Metasploit. For those that love GUIs, there is a fantastic open source GUI management for Metasploit known as Armitage (found HERE). The same developers of Armitage created a more advanced penetration testing package for a $2,500 annual cost. The tool is called cobalt Strike (CS) and can be downloaded at www.advancedpentest.com for a 21day trail. They also have a 4-hour lab that lets you try out the core cobalt Strike features. It is worth spending the time to test the tool and get some lab time even though the lab itself is is pretty easy. Continue reading
Dont Just Click Any Link – Avoiding Phishing, Social Engineering And Other Attacks
I've said this many times before … the Internet is full of bad things. Of those bad things, one of the most common threats is Phishing attacks. Wiki defines phishing as "the act of attempting to acquire information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication". The majority of successful phishing attacks clone popular social networking sources and provide hyperlinks with the hope a target will click the link without questioning the authenticity of the source.
I wrote a post about what to look for regarding fraud email and craiglist sales HERE and 2 example craiglist cons HERE. The concepts are generally the same regarding identifying phishing attackers however in some cases, the attack will be a clone of a real message or website, which makes it very difficult to detect. Best practices is THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK! Here are some examples why this is important. Continue reading
How To Educate Your Employees About Social Engineering
A common saying is " Amateurs Hack Systems, Professionals Hack People". Social engineering is the art of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. People fall for social engineering tricks based on their instinct to be helpful and trusting.

RSA NetWitness: An Anatomy Of An Attack

Enforcing Network Policy Internally, Remotely And To Mobile Devices
Many corporations fail to establish and enforce a network policy. A network policy is a set of conditions, limitations, and customized settings designed to control how authorized subjects use network resources. Common examples of a network policy are controlling access to adult, gambling, hacking, blacklisted and other website categories that violate human resource (HR) and security standards. Network Policy requirements can change based on device type, time of day and user role. Its key that network policy is automatically enforced rather than something end-users choose to abide by or most likely will fail when most needed. Continue reading

Employees very friendly, very clean,
Everything was great.
The price
There was roaches
The room and bathroom were clean. Housekeeping came in daily and made sure everything was fresh. The staff was nice and easy to work with. For the star rating that this hotel is listed as, it was a great place to stay compared to other in the area.
This is an old hotel that the owner is trying to work on. So it feels ran down and well used. But, It also feels like they are doing their best to work with what they have.
Great, breakfast with attendent keeping things very clean.
Stain on room carpet covered with sofa chair.
The staff was veery friendly and helpful.
Staff was courteous
Air conditioning was loud and not working properly
being on the ground floor
infested with cockroaches and people up partying all nite long, keeping us up
That is was close to everything
The room kind of smelled like mildew
Location & staff was very friendly.
Omg, the beds are awful. It's a platform bed with zero support. If you're going to do the wood platform at least put a decent mattress down. It was awful, and after a long drive, hard day, the bed was not at all comforting.
Overall general location was excellent & the hotel in general was also very good.
My room was very roomy and comfortable.
My bathroom could have been a little cleaner.
Cheap and clean
Spring break. Kids were being loud and rowdy in the middle of the night.
Not thing
It smell like cigarette even on the none smoking area , the beds not comfortable u wake up hurting that bad
Breakfast was excellent. Located conveniently behind hotel.
Basketball court. Fast internet. Huge rooms. Brand new. Great stay.
Because tthe property is an extended stay hotel they have limited housekeeping. Gave me a hard time about an extra 30 minutes for checkout.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and comfortable and large.
Easy access to the expressway. Friendly staff.
The hotel room smelled like it had been wet or moldy for days.
Very friendly staff
No coffee
The hotel staff was very friendly.
I had to go to the hotel lobby for coffee.

Gallery: European Commission Sets Rules On Biofuel Production and Use
People are divided on biofuels: on the one hand they are a decent alternative to oil and coal, on the other their creation has resulted in the destruction of forests, damage to biodiversity and the replacement of food crops. To combat this, the European Commission has set up seven schemes to ensure that biofuels used in the EU are produced in an environmentally sustainable way.

ecojujube April 8, 2014 at 11:34 pm
If the concern with land use and food shortage as a result of biofuel production can be mitigated through transparency, supply chain management, and public policy driven by legitimate institutions, why is the concern with deforestation as a result of cellulosic fiber production not being reported in the same light — that it is about managing the process, not about what the final product actually is? I hope to see more balanced perspectives on cellulosic fibers from green media like Inhabitat and Ecouterre, with article titles highlighting process and responsible management instead of end product.

2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek 1st Drive & Off-Road Review
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) Is the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek more than just a taller Subaru Impreza and if so is it off-road worthy? Those are the questions that we try to answer in the video first drive review as we test the new 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek on the beautiful Island of Oahu, Hawaii. At 8.7 inches of ground clearance the new Subaru XV Crosstrek certainly has enough ground clearance to be off-road worthy. When you combine that with Subaru's all-wheel-drive and new body cladding the parts are correct for more than just a another small commuter Crossover in an already crowded market segment. But what happens when the rubber hits the dirt road? Check out this video to find out.
2013 Mercedes-Benz GL First Drive & Review
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The new second generation of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL will be at your local dealership in the fall of this year. For 2013 Mercedes-Benz has completely revamped the model line including the V8 Mercedes-Benz GL 450, 550 and the diesel BlueTec 350. We recently had a chance to drive all three version of the GL in New Mexico both on and off-road and came away impressed by the list of luxury and safety items that are now both standard and available on the biggest 7 passenger luxury SUV in the Mercedes Benz lineup of new cars. Check out this first drive reviews we pul all three to the test.
2012 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Drive & Review: The Fastest Daily Driver Ever
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Camaro ZL1 is the fastest and most powerful production Camaro ever built by Chevrolet. But you probably already knew that. What you might not know is that this almost 600 horsepower car is really a pussy cat to drive. In fact if it got better gas mileage you could easily use it as a daily commuter. It is that easy and relaxed to drive even though under the hood is the supercharged beating heart out of the Cadillac CTS-V. In this review we get to know the fastest production Camaro that GM has ever built by spending a week with it and using it as a daily driver.
TFLcar's Top Ten Most Fun to Drive 2014 Cars
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) What are the most fun to drive new cars of 2014? At the beginning of every year, The Fast Lane Car (TFLcar) selects vehicles that provide one of the most basic, yet rewarding feelings a driver can experience from an automobile -- fun. Having already evaluated these vehicles, the team from TFLCar put together a Top Ten list of vehicles from a variety of categories that are fun to drive. To qualify, these vehicles must be available for purchase in North America and available for the staff of The Fast Lane Car/TFLcar to evaluate prior to the New Year (2014 in this case). The judging is somewhat subjective and each vehicle has its own way of making an impression; however, each vehicle must put a smile on the driver's face. We at The Fast Lane Car understand the importance of consumer recognition of good automotive product. We see the enmity between consumers who prefer to drive and those who would rather be driven. For these drivers, an automobile is a living, breathing extension of their spirit. Like the team at The Fast Lane Car, they can define their favorite automobile by how it imparts a Joie de Vivre. Each member of The Fast Lane Car has had an opportunity to sample interesting vehicles from around the world. We are truly an international team with roots around the globe. Yes, we enjoy frivolity on camera and we live to entertain while we inform; however, we fully acknowledge the significance of worldwide automotive perception. That is why we delve deep within our prolific automotive barometer in choosing these vehicles each year. These automobiles may or may not be the fastest, the most powerful, or the most expensive, but they are certainly the most interesting cars that we've driven in the past year and that's why we're proud to announce they made our 5th annual 2014 Top Ten - Most Fun to Drive Car Awards: Check us out on: Facebook: ( https://www.facebook.com/tflcar ) Twitter: ( https://www.twitter.com/tflcar ) and now even Truck Videos on YouTube at: The Fast Lane Truck ( http://www.youtube.com/user/tflcar )

I'm back - without a tan; guess you win that one.But you're off track re Flip/r7 dialog on taxes. r7popped up here claiming Treasury was going to disallowPZN's REIT status - and never responded with anythingof substance when questioned about hisinfo.The analysts who worried about taxes also worriedabout OPCO. IMHO (which, trust me, you ought to truston this), you can worry about one but not the other.The REIT tests are mechanically met. But you say thatthe ties between mgmt can be "construed" as effectivecontrol. I might agree, except for the lawsuit, whichsolved all the problems, right?P.S. I wouldn'ttrust Litt about tax matters any more than I'd trusthim about REITs. He's been calling them pretty poorlyin the past year.

Everything was perfectly fine. Thank you!
Nothing, excellent service!
Improve customer parking options.
This U- Haul location is very disorganized, I had made a reservation on line and they still could not find me a truck. This has happened before when renting a moving van from this location. Customer service was very poor. I rented a u-haul truck in Seattle several times, and never had any issues. But, this U-haul site is horrible! Plan on waiting for two hours when picking up your van/ truck.
Truck had damage to driver's door, making it difficult to reach and close when inside. We had reserved a 10-foot box truck weeks in advance. Following on-line warning from U-Haul, checked with our insurance carrier to determine if truck would be covered under our policy. A truck with 4 wheels is covered, but not one with 6 wheels. We called U-Haul and asked about # of wheels on 10-foot box truck. Were told 6 wheels, so cancelled our box truck and rented open pick-up instead. When we picked up our rental truck, could see that small box trucks all had 4 wheels, but none were available by then for our 9-day rental period, so we had to settle for pick-up. The clerk said she didn't know why we were told that, but no apology, just a shrug. We will rent again if needed, but customer service needs some help. We observed that when you're the only game in town, maybe don't feel the need for customer service skills!!
Have better customer service
I did note that the gas gauge was not working properly. I was requested to return the vehicle back with the same gas level. Since the gas gauge was not working correctly, I would not have had to fill the gas tank. I did and believe I put more gas in than I used. Besides the gauge, the vehicle was great and the service was great! See you next year!
Not that I can think of!
The employees were were very helpful and efficient. I have no suggestions. I plan to use U Haul again for my towing and hauling needs.
The building was well maintained and the staff was very accommodating.
Good professional service.
The trailer was 4 hours later than requested time. Five additional days were added onto my due date which was nice. The trailer did leak unfortunately. Some items damaged.
Vehicle seemed to not have had maintenance done in quite some time. Wheel bearings on both front wheels were shot. I waited around for awhile waiting to check the truck back in, and no less than 5 employees walked right past me without saying a word. They made eye contact, and just kept right on going. Professionalism training is needed at this location.
Improve wait times
I read previous reviews that customers had to wait a long time to turn in equipment due to limited staffing, but this was not an issue for me. Good job!
When I rented the equipment I was informed I could drop the truck off at any location. When I went to U-Haul I was told I could not return the truck there and had to go to a second location (that shown above).
The truck we rented was in the best condition of any I have gotten from U-Haul.
Always excellent
personal were very disinterested in me. both checkout and in. Both gals were busy talking to coworkers about other rentals or personal stuff. I DONT CARE!!
my money, my time, my choice. Next time I will chose a differnt locale or company for my business.
The truck shook the entire 2,600 miles that I drove it, no matter what the speed. It required oil twice!
Wash the windshield better, I had to stop at a gas station on the way home and do it so I could see
Nothing! they were courteous, knowledgeable and quick. The pickup was brand new, with just 512 miles on it, so it was clean, unscratched, and everything worked exactly as it should. Thanks!
The employees are always super friendly and helpful
We rent often and are always pleased
Management is great to work with also
I listed this location as average due to the propane refill being RIGHT in the entrance. If a large RV is refilling it can be difficult to get in the lot. The windshield was quite dirty but easily fixed. Overall good experience!
All was good. Thank You
Doing some construction in the parking lot. It was a mess

The location was very nice near the railway station and bus stand. There was no difficulty in parking vehicles. The check in and checkout procedure was good not delayed. The appearance of the hotel was like heritage look. The room was neat, clean kept with the entire ambiance in proper working conditions. We had a good view from the room. The food in the hotel was very tasty in many varieties in veg and non-veg. There were no refreshing activities in the hotel that was fine as it was religious trip with family.

And yet every beer + coffee combination I've ever tasted has been, at best, a second-rate imitation of coffee or a second-rate imitation of beer.

I have had three different types of beer-coffee combinations, and I have to agree with greg. All have been I satisfactory.
I have actually had Cool Beanz twice, and in all honesty, it was the best of the three I had previously tried--but that isn't saying much. It was really just less bad than the other two. The second tasting just confirmed my original conclusion: dark beer, or any beer, and coffee do not mix.

text: http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi All, I booted my regular machine today and it failed to boot complaining it was unable to mount the disc and threw me out to a root prompt. So I tried booting into the failsafe kernel and it gave me some more detailled messages from fsck. Basically what I could deduce from the errors was that a file I had ftp-ed onto the machine yesterday was pointing to the same disc block as one of the gdm log files. Fortunately I have a external USB with ubuntu installed so after making a note of which files were clashing, I booted from that and mounted the drive. I deleted one (Hardware)

Kauai Travel Guide
Kauai is one of the least visited of the Hawaiian Islands, so travelers will understand why it's called the "island of discovery." Over 90 percent of Kauai is inaccessible by road, a tantalizing statistic for adventurers looking to for things to do in Kauai unencumbered by the hordes of cars and people that plague Oahu and Maui. There are many excellent scuba and snorkeling locations where divers can spot sea turtles, dolphins, sharks, playing along the colorful reef. If you are a hiker, you cannot pass up the opportunity to take on the Kalalau Trail that traverses the Na Pali Coast. The steep inclines and flashfloods of rain make this red mud trail one of the most dangerous hikes in the world, but the views are unforgettable. If you're not up to hiking, a helicopter ride is the next best way to see Waimea Canyon and the Na Pali coastline.
If you are looking for things to do in Kauai that don't involve throwing yourself from heights, kick back with a shave ice from one of beach trucks and hang out at the beautiful beaches along the coastline. Take a pit stop for lunch in one of the quaint towns like Hanapepe and Koloa and peruse the local shops for crafts like kukui nut necklaces or woven-palm beach hats. If you have never been surfing before, now is as good a time as any to start. Kauai offers a variety of surf lessons and rental boards around the island. Check out the list below to find out what to do in Kauai.
Cliffs rise 4,000 feet out of the ocean. Falling rocks, copious mud, rain, and flash floods are commonplace.
The six-acre Kahuna Valley retreat draws healing masters from around the globe to teach Qigong, Taoism, Reiki, and Hawaiian Kahuna healing. At the spa, choose from hot-stone therapy, deep-tissue massage, or a starlit watsu session with mineral-rich waters from the nearby Makaleha Mountains.
A 1930s Tudor-style mansion and adjacent restored plantation cottages have been transformed into a collection of 10 upscale shopping boutiques. The bedrooms, closets, and even bathrooms of the former home display artwork, antiques, clothing, and handicrafts.
The natural wonders of the towering Na Pali coastal cliffs, the reefs, and marine life are easily accessed from the Spirit of Kauai or the Akialoa, two Coast Guard-certified, customized 55-foot sailing catamarans. The catamarans are operated by Capt.
The seldom-visited and fascinating island of Niihau off the coast of Kauai is inhabited only by a handful of native Hawaiians, and is generally closed off to tourists.
A dark, rock archway constructed in 1920, adds to the charm of Hawaii's first ever Christian church, located by the ocean and the Hulihe'e Palace in Kailua-Kona.
For a funky, homegrown look into the Hawaii of yesteryear, the Tahiti Nui in the beachside hamlet of Hanalei is the real thing. The unpretentious bar-restaurant caters to the locals, and it was the first watering hole to open up on Kauai's north shore a half-century ago.
Island and European styles merge in the Allerton Garden, located in Poipu's Lāwa`i Valley. Allerton and the nearby McBryde Garden are run by the National Tropical Botanical Garden and share a visitor center near the Spouting Horn.
Explore the North Pacific waters and observe marine animals in their native habitat with guidance from the staff at Bubbles Below Scuba Charters.
With its name meaning "bay sprinkling food," the remote Hanakapi'ai Beach on the rugged Na Pali coast sits at the end of the Kalalau Trail, a challeging hike that takes about three hours round trip.
A number of sea tours, from kayaking to sailing charters, explore Kauai's dramatically carved Na Pali Coast, but this is one of the best.

Mourinho urges Real Madrid star Ronaldo to resist £55M Man Utd return
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is urging Cristiano Ronaldo to snub a return to Manchester United. United are thought to be lining up a £55m bid to bring Ronaldo back to Old Trafford this summer.
The complex deal will involve club sponsors Chevrolet or Nike helping to fund the Portuguese superstar's massive wages, in order to comply with UEFA's new Financial Fair Play rules, says the Daily Star.
But Real boss Mourinho has told Ronaldo "it would be good" for him to stay at the Spanish giants.
When asked about the importance of Real hanging onto their star player, Mourinho claimed "it would be fantastic for the club and vital".
"When you have a player with these characteristics, you have to do all that is possible not to lose him," he added.
"It's obvious that he can play wherever he wants to play.
"It would be good for Real Madrid as well as Ronaldo if he continued."
Can United convince Ronaldo to leave Real this summer? Give us your shout below...

3. The system of claim 1 wherein said pits are arranged in a self-clocking bar code.
This is a continuation of co-pending application Ser. No. 492,691 filed May 11, 1983, which is a continuation of Ser. No. 238,833 filed Feb. 22, 1981, now abandoned.
The invention relates to personal identification cards and more particularly to a data card which can be used in an automatic teller machine and the like.
In metropolitan areas, electronic fund transfer systems allow bank customers to transact business at all hours of the day and from many locations. However, one of the problems which is encountered is with security. Normally, a bank has centralized data processing and all automatic teller machines (ATMs) are linked to this computer (CPU) by dedicated communication lines, such as telephone or microwave links.
Frequently, for purposes of security, the ATM is installed within the walls of the bank. This is done for two reasons. First, the ATMs have a lot of money. Second, access to the ATMs is strictly controlled, including access to the communication links. Thus, there is not only a requirement for physical security on account of the money involved, but there is also a requirement for communications security because communication devices grant access to the money. It is widely recognized that communications security is one of the weak links in ATM banking. In order to improve communications security, most banks have adopted data encryption between the ATM and the CPU. The problem with data encryption is that it makes system maintenance more complicated and makes the ATM machines themselves more cumbersome. Furthermore, a new security problem is created, namely security for the encryption system. The security for the cryptographic devices must be almost as great as for the ATM itself, since these devices contain the clear data. A solution is to build such devices into the ATM so that data emerging from the ATM is encrypted.
While encrypted ATMs are now used in large metropolitan areas, electronic fund transfer systems are not used in smaller isolated communities where a communications link to the CPU in a metropolitan area is quite expensive and in many instances prohibit use of ATMs. Many such communities still use modernized versions of paper passbook banking and for the foreseeable future it appears that this method of banking will remain as the primary method of doing banking business. In these communities, as well as in metropolitan areas, it would be desirable to revert to more simplified ATMs, namely ones without expensive telecommunications links to a CPU which require data encryption devices. Accordingly, it was an object of the invention to devise a banking card for facilitating electronic passbook banking in cooperation with an ATM, not connected to a remote CPU and without an external data encryption system.
The above objects have been met with a high information capacity data card for use with a card reader associated with ATMs and similar devices. The data card is a wallet-size card, such as a credit card with a data strip on the card, preferably parallel to the lengthwise dimension of the card. The strip comprises a high resolution, high capacity, reflective laser recording material. The laser recording material is intended as a record for passbook banking. In other words, a passbook type of record will be contained on the strip, with all deposits, withdrawals, interest payments and service charges. This data can be entered by an ATM which reads the strip for user identification and current data, then updates the current data with laser writing.
One of the chief advantages of the present invention is the high information capacity of laser recording media strips. Typically, high resolution laser recording materials record pits having dimensions on the order of several microns or tens of microns. A high capacity laser recording material strip enables a credit card to carry the equivalent of scores of pages of text, more than ample for passbook banking applications, identification and similar uses.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of one side of a data card in accord with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a partial side sectional view taken along lines 2--2 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a detail of laser writing on a portion of the laser recording strip illustrated by dashed lines in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of an apparatus for reading and writing on the optical recording media strip illustrated in FIG. 1.
With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a data card 11 is illustrated having a size common to most credit cards. The width dimension of such a card is approximately 54 mm and the length dimension is approximately 85 mm. These dimensions are not critical, but preferred because such a size easily fits into a wallet and has historically been adopted as a convenient size for automatic teller machines and the like. The card's base 13 is a dielectric, usually a plastic material such as polyvinyl chloride or similar material. The surface finish of the base should have low specular reflectivity, preferably less than 10%. Base 13 has a shallow groove which carries strip 15. The strip is about 15 millimeters wide and extends the length of the card. Alternatively, the strip may have other sizes and orientations. The strip is relatively thin, approximately 100-500 microns, although this is not critical. The strip may be applied to the card by any convenient method which achieves flatness. The strip is adhered to the card with an adhesive and covered by a transparent laminating sheet 19 which serves to keep strip 15 flat, as well as protecting the strip from dust and scratches. Sheet 19 is a thin, transparent plastic sheet laminating material or a coating, such as a transparent laquer.
The opposite side of base 13 may have user identification indicia embossed on the surface of the card. Other indicia such as card expiration data, card number and the like may be optionally provided.
The high resolution laser recording material which forms strip 15 may be any of the reflective recording materials which have been developed for use as direct read-after-write (DRAW) optical disks, so long as the materials can be formed on thin substrates. An advantage of reflective materials over transmissive materials is that the read/write equipment is all on one side of the card and automatic focus is easier. For example, the high resolution material described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,230,939 issued to de Bont, et al. teaches a thin metallic recording layer of reflective metals such as Bi, Te, Ind, Sn, Cu, Al, Pt, Au, Rh, As, Sb, Ge, Se, Ga. Materials which are preferred are those having high reflectivity and low melting point, particularly Cd, Sn, Tl, Ind, Bi and amalgams. Suspensions of reflective metal particles in organic colloids also form low melting temperature laser recording media. The laser recording material which is selected should be compatible with the laser which is used for writing on it. Some materials are more sensitive than others at certain wavelengths. Good sensitivity to infrared light is preferred because infrared is affected least by scratches and dirt on the transparent laminating sheet. The selected recording material should have a favorable signal-to-noise ratio with the read/write system with which it is used. A large number of highly reflective laser recording materials have been used for optical data disk applications. Reflectivity should be at least 15% and preferably greater than 25%. Reflectivity of about 50% is preferred with reflectivity of a pit in the reflective material being less than 10%.
With reference to FIG. 3, a magnified view of laser writing on the laser recording material strip 15 may be seen. The dashed line 33, corresponds to the dashed line 33 in FIG. 1. The oblong pits 35 are aligned in a path and have generally similar dimensions. The pits are generally circular or oval in shape with the axis of the oval perpendicular to the lengthwise dimension of the strip. A second group of pits 37 is shown aligned in a second path. The pits 37 have similar dimensions to the pits 35. The spacing between paths is not critical, except that the optics of the readback system should be able to easily distinguish between paths.
Presently, in optical disk technology, tracks which are separated by only a few microns may be resolved. The spacing and pattern of the pits along each path is selected for easy decoding. For example, oval pits of the type shown can be clustered and spaced in accord with self-clocking bar codes. If variations in the dimensions of a pit are required, such dimensions can be achieved by clustering pits, such as the double pit 39. Such variations are used in the ETAB bar code which is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,245,152. While the American Bankers' Association has not yet adopted any particular code, the strip material is such that many machine and eye readable codes can be accommodated. Some optical codes such as the Universal Product Code are both machine and eye readable. Such codes could also be accommodated, although a great deal more laser writing would be required, than with circular or oval pits, and a much lower information density would be achieved. The pits illustrated in FIG. 3 have a recommended size of approximately 5 microns by 20 microns, or circular pits 5 microns or 10 microns in diameter. Generally, the smallest dimension of a pit should be less than 50 microns. In the preferred embodiment the largest dimension would also be less than 50 microns. Of course, to offset lower densities from larger pits, the size of the strip 15 could be expanded to the point where it covers a large extent of the card. In FIG. 1, the laser recording strip 15 could completely cover a single side of the card. A minimum information capacity of 250,000 bits is indicated and a storage capacity of over one million bits is preferable.
In FIG. 4, a side view of the lengthwise dimension of a card 41 is shown. The card is usually received in a movable holder 42 which brings the card into the beam trajectory. A laser light source 43, preferably a pulsed semiconductor laser of infrared wavelength emits a beam 45 which passes through collimating and focussing optics 47. The beam is sampled by a beam splitter 49 which transmits a portion of the beam through a focusing lens 51 to a photodetector 53. The detector 53 confirms laser writing and is not essential. The beam is then directed to a first servo controlled mirror 55 which is mounted for rotation along the axis 57 in the direction indicated by the arrows A. The purpose of the mirror 55 is to find the lateral edges of the laser recording material in a coarse mode of operation and then in a fine mode of operation identify data paths which exist predetermined distances from the edges.
From mirror 55, the beam is directed toward mirror 61. This mirror is mounted for rotation at pivot 63. The purpose of mirror 55 is for fine control of motion of the beam along the length of the card. Coarse control of the lengthwise position of the card relative to the beam is achieved by motion of movable holder 42. The position of the holder may be established by a linear motor adjusted by a closed loop position servo system of the type used in magnetic disk drives. Reference postion information may be prerecorded on the card so that position error signals may be generated and used as feedback in motor control. Upon reading one data path, the mirror 55 is slightly rotated. The motor moves holder 41 lengthwise so that the path can be read, and so on. As light is scattered and reflected from the pits, the reflectivity of the beam changes relative to surrounding material where no pits exist. The beam should deliver sufficient laser pulse energy to the surface of the recording material to create pits. Typically, 5-10 milliwatts is required, depending on the recording material. The wavelength of the laser should be compatible with the recording material. In the read mode, power is lowered to about 5% of the record power.
Differences in reflectivity between a pit and surrounding material are detected by light detector 65 which may be a photodiode. Light is focussed onto detector 65 by beam splitter 67 and focusing lens 69. Servo motors, not shown, control the positions of the mirrors and drive the mirrors in accord with instructions received from control circuits, as well as from feedback devices. The detector 65 produces electrical signals corresponding to pits. These signals are processed and recorded for subsequent display as useful information regarding the transaction recorded on the card.
In operation, the card of the present invention could be used just like a passbook. First the card is read to determine previously recorded information. Next, a user enters his transaction and if validated by an ATM, the ATM then causes data to be written on the first strip by means of the laser. The data represents a passbook entry with a new account status. Operating in this mode, a user may use the card of the present invention in free standing ATMs in isolated locations. While it is necessary for the ATM to make a record of each transaction, there is no need to transmit transaction data using telecommunication links to a CPU at a distant location.

Australia 25 Wales 23: Wallabies snatch series victory with last-ditch penalty
Substitute Mike Harris broke Welsh hearts with an injury-time penalty to snatch a dramatic win for Australia in Melbourne.
Wales appeared on course to keep the series alive with an historic first win over the Wallabies in Australia since 1969 as the faultless boot of Leigh Halfpenny kept the Grand Slam champions in front.
But with the clock in the red New Zealand referee Chris Pollock penalised Wales after Australia launched a powerful rolling maul and Harris showed nerves of steel to crush Welsh dreams.
Kicking king: Mike Harris of the Wallabies slots home the winning penalty goal
Wales, accused of making a slow start last week, came flying out of the blocks with a series of powerful pick and drives.
Mike Phillips, Halfpenny and Alex Cuthbert were all prominent in the build up as Wales roared into the Wallabies half before George North powered over from close range.
Halfpenny, who kicked all before him in Brisbane, maintained his 100 per cent record Down Under to stretch Wales' early lead to seven points.
Party time: Australia celebrate after recording their second victory over Wales
Wales continued to dominate the early exchanges but the Wallabies fought their way back into the encounter and began to strangle the visitors of possession.
Berrick Barnes, who only rejoined the Wallabies squad four hours prior to kick-off following the birth of his first child, Archie, hit back for the hosts and added a second penalty on the half-hour mark to cut Wales' lead to one point.
Wales did themselves no favours and lost a succession of lineouts on their own throw as the pressure mounted.
Flying: Rob Horne of the Wallabies scores a try against Wales in Melbourne
They looked to have survived unscathed after Phillips burst out of his own half with a trademark break. He found Rhys Priestland in support but the fly-half was unable to release Sam Warburton for the try.
Wales were penalised at the following phase and after pouncing on loose ball from the ensuing lineout, Phillips handed the Wallabies another opportunity to attack after his box-kick went out on the full.
And the Tri-Nations champions took full advantage with Barnes beating Warburton on the outside and dummying past Ashley Beck to release Rob Horne for the crucial try.
Going nowhere: Australia's Digby Ioane (C) is tackled by Wales' Ashley Beck
Barnes added the extras on the stroke of half-time as Wales entered the interval trailing 13-7.
But the Dragons again started the half firing and an uncharacteristic mistake from last week's Wallaby hero Will Genia gave the opportunity to score.
The livewire scrum-half threw an aimless pass which was hacked through by Beck and Jonathan Davies beat Rob Simmons in the foot race to score.
Halfpenny expertly slotted the conversion to regain the lead, and the full-back exchanged penalties with Barnes as Wales kept their noses in front.
False dawn: Wales' Jonathan Davies scores a try against Australia
Barmes knocked over another penalty but Australia were dealt a blow when Cooper Vuna was sent to the sin-bin after a clumsy challenge on Halfpenny in the air.
The diminutive full-back came crashing down to earth but got straight back to his feet and slotted a monster penalty to regain the slender lead.
Barnes hit-back after Bradley Davies was penalised at the break down but Halfpenny was again on target after the Welsh pack flexed its muscle at scrum time.
Wales continued to dominate the battle up front but they fell foul of the scrum lottery and Barnes stepped up to slot the simple penalty.
Chance: Wales' Alex Cuthbert (left) and George North (right) congratulate Jonathan Davies
But amazingly the fly-half, who appeared to be carrying a knock, pushed his effort wide and quickly departed to be replaced by Harris.
Australia frantically hammered at Wales but Rob Howley's men held strong as mistakes creeped into the Wallabies game.
But Wales were penalised with the clock ticking and Australia kicked to the corner. They launched a rolling maul and Wales were penalised, with New Zealand-born fly-half Harris writing his name in Wallaby history.
