Power outage affects residents near Manassas Regional Airport
A large power outage affected Manassas residents late Friday night.
City officials had this to say about the outage:
Power is out it parts of the City. Electric crews are investigating the outage. Thank you for your patience.
— Manassas VA (@CityofManassas) July 4, 2015
A large portion of the city near the Manassas Regional Airport was without power about 10 p.m. A witness said a large beacon near the airport — one that can usually be seen from Prince William Parkway — was not active.
We also heard some city residents had trouble accessing the internet from their homes during the outage.
We don't know the cause of the outage. We'll bring you more as we have it.
'Manassas Pete' talks rock n' roll, candles and inspiration
Manassas native Pete Evick – known by many as 'Manassas Pete', has had an interesting assortment of life experiences.
The Stonewall Jackson High School graduate has worked with rockstar Bret Michaels for the last 10 years as his lead guitarist, and co-writer and producer of Michael's last two records.
"I was a huge fan of Poison growing up, and my band was his opening act for a tour, and we got to be buddies then. And then he invited me to be his guitar player and my band to be his band – and we've just seen the world," said Evick.
Despite living the rockstar lifestyle, Evick decided early on that he wanted to keep living in Manassas, and raise his family there.
"Was born and raised [in Manassas] and still live here to this day. Manassas – it's always been my home – it's where I grew up. And even when I raised my kids – I've been in the music business my entire life…and I spent a lot of time in New York, and some time in [Los Angeles] but I never wanted to go live that life. I lived the life in a small town and then once I had kids, I wanted them to have that same kind of life too," Evick commented.
During his music career, he stumbled on to candle making, and began his own company – Shining Sol Candle Company – which manufactures products in Virginia.
"Being a musician, my life has been loud. And we were off tour a little bit, and I was taking a break…I spent a lot of time in Arizona [for music]…and in Arizona they put candles in their fireplace instead of lighting fires…then I happened to go to a candle store and buy a candle that was supposed to smell like a fireplace. And I had never had a hobby in my entire life aside from music…and I just started thinking about if I could make one of those…and finally I was doing something quiet, peaceful," Evick said.
Evick's most recent adventure has been writing a book about his life experience, following a personal tragedy, titled 'The Moments That Make Us.'
"Most musicians at some point in their life, I think, tend to write a book. With such an interesting life you live, you manage to pick up an amazing amount of stories. I started writing this book when I was forced with the fact that my family was going to split up – me and my wife were getting a divorce and had two kids. The book was originally a collection of thoughts and fears about what was going to happen with my children…but after writing, I realized I had written a book that was much more inspiring," said Evick.
Evick still performs and tours with Michaels, and runs Shining Sol Candle Company.

New Virginia traffic laws start today
Starting today, there are some new rules of the road in Virginia.
During their last session, the Virginia General Assembly made amendments to state codes that are meant to increase safety measures for bicycles, postal vehicles, and garbage trucks, among others.
One change is that any vehicle that provides roadside assistance or traffic management aide is now qualified for the "Move Over" law in Virginia, because the vehicle may have blinking or flashing warning lights. The "Move Over law mandates that drivers change lanes to allow certain vehicles, including law enforcement, room on the road to provide assistance.
Another measure is meant to keep postal workers safe. A new regulation passed in the House now requires drivers passing a mail vehicle that has blinking or amber lights on to use caution and a safe speed.
A similar regulation now requires that those passing garbage trucks on roadways that have less than four lanes have to decrease their speed to 10 miles per hour lower than the speed limit. Additionally, drivers must leave two feet of room between where they pass and the left of a vehicle.
An interesting regulation passed this legislative session protects individuals on bicycles and mopeds, as vehicles can now be cited for following too closely.
For those that have been convicted in a federal court for a DUI offense that is similar to one within Virginia law, now has the ability to petition the court in their jurisdiction for restricted driving privileges, which is found in other states. The driving privileges, according to the text of the passed bill, would be restricted to areas including their workplace and church.
Prior to this change, only individuals convicted in a Virginia court of a DUI offense could petition the court.

Manassas City leaders like Georgetown South parking district
Georgetown South has a unique set of rules that govern who can park in the Manassas neighborhood.
For the past 20 years, visitors and guests of neighborhood residents have been required to obtain a special parking pass from the Manassas treasurer's office.
The temporary permit costs $10 each, and it's good for a one-night stay. Each resident is allowed 50 per year.
Some residents want to do away with the parking rules, called a "parking district" by city officials, calling them restrictive and noting they're the only ones of its kind in the city.
City officials say the parking district is effecting in curbing illegal parking in the city, and that many residents who've spoken at various public hearings on the matter want the parking rules enforced.
"I have not seen any advantages of getting rid of the parking district," said Manassas City Manager Patrick Pate.
A spokeswoman for the Georgetown South did not return a request for comment for this story.
City leaders say the parking district has also been effective in curbing the number of cars and work trucks that are parked in the neighborhood but registered in another jurisdiction, like Fairfax County.
Manassas issues special parking permits to work trucks registered elsewhere to operators who have proven to the city treasurer the personal property tax on the vehicle has been paid to its respective jurisdiction.
City police also support keeping the parking district in place.
"I was troubled to read emails that say the only reason we have this parking district is for revenue generation by the police], and that is not true," said Councilwoman Sheryl Bass.
The City Council on June 15 had the ability to vote to keep the special parking district in place or to remove it. Instead, the council took the lead of Councilman Ken Elston who suggested city leaders table the issue hold more meetings with Georgetown South community members to hear their concerns on the matter. The first of those meetings was held Monday night, said Pate.
While this is the only special parking district of its kind in the city, leaders have imposed other parking regulations in other neighborhoods. The catch is, the city may only impose such restrictions on publically maintained streets.
"If Georgetown South were built today instead of in the 1960s, it would have privatized streets," said Pate.
Of the 1,700 parking spaces in Georgetown South, the city issued 2,400 temporary parking permits in the past year, Pate added.
The city is looking at adding a similar parking district on public streets near the Point of Woods neighborhood.
McAuliffe tours Manassas, talks jobs, transportation, and doughnuts
Jobs, transportation on McAuliffe priority list
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe had his choice of flavor of doughnut in Manassas on Tuesday.
The executive was on hand for the grand opening of Paradise Donuts on Route 28. McAuliffe shook the hand of new franchise owner Keith Buck, a 24-year veteran of the Naval Reserve, who opened the shop after two years of work.
"My goal is to make Virginia the most vet-friendly state in the country," said McAuliffe.
His appearance came on the heels of him signing new legislation into law Monday at the Woodbridge Campus of Northern Virginia Community College, at that allows military veterans the ability to get college credit for prior military training.
The governor said Virginia has more military veterans under age 25, and all have unique skill sets that are needed to fill jobs in today's workforce.
Many of those jobs — at least 30,000 of them in Northern Virginia — are in the IT field, McAuliffe told crowd gathered at the Hylton Performing Arts Center for the Prince William Chamber of Commerce's annual State of the Chamber event Tuesday.
"Jobs in big data, personal medicine, that's what the new economy will look like," McAuliffe told a crowd of business owners.
Jobs in web coding and cybersecurity will also play a role/ Moving away from traditional four-year degree programs and focusing on two-year training and certification courses will put more people to work faster, he added.
And while Virginia — a state that is so heavily reliant on federal defense spending — has seen the government ratchet back those dollars, McAuliffe said he's convinced a new FBI headquarters will be built in the state. He's also lobbying President Barack Obama for a new cyber defense facility that would house national defense and intelligence under one roof.
The governor also spoke about reducing the number of SOL tests Virginia school children must take, expanding Obamacare in the state, ending veterans homelessness. He also talked about improving transportation along Interstate 66 by adding HOV lanes, and improving Metro.
"In transportation, I"m all in. We just authorized the new cars for the Silver Line because it does no good if the train shows up, and its full," said McAuliffe.

System 2040 plan maps out changes for VRE service
The Virginia Railway Express (VRE) has a plan that includes adding train lines, stations, and even reverse commute capabilities.
While mass transit is one of the major methods that many area residents use to get to work in the area, there is still a lot of congestion that VRE is trying to combat, according to Director of Public Affairs Bryan Jungwirth.
In order to handle congestion and provide more service to riders, VRE has created a System 2040 plan with service improvements and additions up through the year 2040.
One big component of the plan is reverse commuting, which would alleviate some congestion on the roads for commuters coming in to Prince William and Manassas for work.
Currently there are only three trains that are classified as a reverse commute, according to Jungwirth – one from Union Station in Washington, D.C. at 6:25 a.m. to Broad Run, an additional Union Station to Broad Run in the afternoon and a Broad Run to Union Station train in the afternoon.
"We've got some trains that actually can be characterized as a reverse commute, and they're on the Manassas line," said Jungwirth.
In the immediate future, VRE will be adding more cars to existing trains.
"The best things we're definitely going to do – max by 2017 – are adding more cars onto more trains and make the trains longer, which will increase capacity. And that will help with the whole [Route] 66 construction issue," Jungwirth commented.
There are several station expansions and new platforms on the agenda from VRE, with a Fredericksburg train line being added this summer and Gainesville-Haymarket extension coming, said Jungwirth.
Also coming up in the next few years, are VRE's plans to add two more tracks and potentially adding a line that goes from Manassas to Alexandria.
"[System 2040] tries to address all of this different elements, because we're going to need two more tracks going across the Potomac [River] – so either a new bridge or the extension to the existing long bridge. And then we need more train storage up in the [Washington] D.C. area, and we're looking to expanding where we store our trains. Parking lot expansions – we're looking at those as well…We could potentially get additional capacity on the Manassas line…we've thought about ways we could run more service on the Manassas line and doing what we call a fish-hook kind of service to Alexandria, but it would take a lot of construction to make it even feasible," said Jungwirth.
Reverse commuting capabilities should start to become a bigger focus towards the end of the System 2040 plan, said Jungwirth.
"I won't say that reverse commutes aren't on our list of things to do, because it is in the System 2040 plan, but it's the latter part of the plan, so we're talking out to 2030, 2040…all of these other infrastructure improvements would need to occur before that were to happen," said Jungwirth.
Manassas man charged with sexual battery of female minor
On June 27, Prince William police from the Special Victims Unit responded to a call for a sexual assault on Lady Jane Loop in Manassas.
According to Prince William police, the victim – a 9-year old girl – was sexually assaulted by 46-year old Manassas man Charles Forsyth, who is a known family member.
The assault took place on more than one occasion between January 2014 and June 2015, according to Prince William police, following an investigation.
Forsyth has been charged with four counts of aggravated sexual battery, six counts of indecent liberties with children, two counts of forcible sodomy and one count of display of grooming or obscene material to children, said Prince William police.
He is being held without bond.
OPTiMO opens 8,500 square foot facility in Manassas
OPTiMO Information Technology – a software and technology solutions provider – have opened a new 8,500 square foot facility in Manassas.
OPTiMO, which was founded in 2008, works within federal, defense and commercial markets, and decided to make the move to serve customers in the Washington, D.C. and Virginia area.
According to OPTiMO's CEO Michael Miguelez, the company chose to open their new location on Battlefield Parkway in Manassas because of its accessibility and commuting time.
"We're delighted to be in Prince William County. We established our first Virginia location in Vienna in 2012 to better serve our federal clients, but we rapidly outgrew that facility. We wanted a location with easy access to Washington, DC that is supported by a solid internet infrastructure, with room to support our growth, while supporting a manageable commute for our engineering teams – Prince William County has it all," said Miguelez.
20 engineers are currently working at the new facility.
Additionally Miguelez stated that the young professionals coming from nearby universities influenced their location decision.
"Prince William County was a clear winner in our site evaluation. We gain direct access to a talent pipeline of young professionals with both Northern Virginia Community College and the George Mason University Science & Technology Campus nearby," said OPTiMO's vice president of engineering Jarrod Norton.
According to the Prince William County Economic Development department, the county's IT sector is growing rapidly.
$100K winning Virginia lottery ticket bought in Manassas, still unclaimed
According to the Virginia Lottery, an individual who purchased a winning lottery ticket in Manassas has not come forward to claim their winnings – and the ticket is about to expire.
The ticket was purchased on January 12 for a Cash 5 night drawing from a 7-Eleven location on Cockrell Road in Manassas, said Virginia Lottery.
The ticket was a winner and is valued at $100,000. Virginia Lottery stated that the winning numbers were 3-7-10-20-25 and that the ticket matched all five numbers.
But the owner of that ticket has not come forward to claim their prize.
More on lottery ticket expiration and unclaimed prizes from the Virginia Lottery:
By law, winning tickets in Virginia expire 180 days after the drawing. In this case, since the 180-day period ends on a Saturday, the winner has until close of business the next business day, which is 5:00 p.m. on Monday, July 13. If it's not claimed by then, this $100,000 ticket will become worthless.
All Virginia Lottery unclaimed prize money goes to the state Literary Fund. The Literary Fund is used solely for educational purposes, such as upgrading technology in schools and teacher retirement funding. Since its inception in 1988, the Lottery has transferred more than $244 million in unclaimed prizes to Virginia's Literary Fund.
Cash 5 drawings are held daily at 1:59 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. The chances of winning the $100,000 top prize are 1 in 278,256.
The owner must reach out to the Virginia Lottery in order to claim their prize.
County supervisors talk on how to address $9M PRTC shortfall
County supervisors are talking about ways to handle the Potomac and Rapphannock Transportation Commission's (PRTC) $9 million dollar annual shortfall.
PRTC provides bus and rail service for residents in Prince William, Manassas and Stafford, including commuter, cross-county and local bus service.
According to PRTC's Interim Executive Director Eric Marx, the organization is facing this large shortfall and may have to make some drastic cuts to service – including eliminating all local service or severely limiting commuter service – unless additional funding can be found.
Currently PRTC's revenue sources include some federal and state funds, and a 2.1% motor fuels tax. Previously, the board of county supervisors chipped in money from the general fund, but stopped doing so after the recession hit the county in 2008.
An independent audit, and more talks
Marx has met with the supervisors to discuss the shortfall, and the board's first step has been to call for an independent audit of PRTC and their budget, to see if efficiencies and cost savings can be found.
"There is an audit that Prince William County is planning, to have their independent auditing firm perform on PRTC, regarding our performance…it will be a way that the county can sort of independently determine how well we are doing. We can say everything we want about how efficient we are, and how productive we are…but having and independent process [provides] verification," said Marx.
The audit will take place this fall, according to Marx.
While Marx stated that the three scenarios that PRTC has offered to address the shortfall are very real, they were meant to be broad and will receive much tweaking from the board.
"I've spoken with most of the [supervisors]…and all of them have listened attentively and asked some questions. But [we're] really not at a point that people are making declarations one way or the other. There are three very broad scenarios, developed to illustrate what the extremes would be in terms of how many cuts would need to be made in order to achieve [certain] levels of savings. I suspect that none of those will be implemented exactly as they are…I suspect there will be a fair amount of give or take, with the policy guidance from the elected officials and the board of county supervisors and the county finance staff," said Marx.
Supervisors share their thoughts
Potomac Local reached out to the county board of supervisors for their thoughts on how to handle the PRTC shortfall.
For Supervisor Mike May, addressing the board's previous general fund contribution is on the table.
"It's a significant amount of money and I don't think the board is going to be able to be in a position to completely backfill a $9 million shortfall. There is a history of using general fund monies to supplement PRTC, and that probably makes some amount of sense – depending on of course, the amount. Historically, it's been $1 to $1.5 million dollars, and so there's a significant difference between that and the $9 million shortfall," said May.
Additionally, May stated that none of the scenarios to cut service that PRTC has put forward would seriously be considered.
"All three scenarios are essentially non-starters. But those all assume a $9 million shortfall, and PRTC resolving it with some level of reductions. I don't think any of the three will be met with a whole lot of support from the board," said May.
Supervisor Maureen Caddigan stated that many of her constituents rely on PRTC and that not finding funding sources for PRTC's shortfall would have a major impact on transit in the area.
"We need transportation, obviously. If you look at Route 1, and [Interstate] 95 and certainly [Route] 66 – where the jobs are…and the traffic is horrendous, so we need [public] transportation to get people around. The OmniRide is doing wonderful, people are really happy…the concern with some of the money now that is needed is for OmniLink. And OmniLink does take care of our neediest people – the people that don't have cars…it's expensive to run the buses, so we are taking a look at it…Route 1 – that is my greatest concern. People get off of 95 and they get onto Route 1, and the traffic is terrible, so I would not cut out any kind of transportation to get people around," said Caddigan.
According to Supervisor John Jenkins, the General Assembly should play a role in solving the shortfall by putting a floor on the motor fuels tax – one of PRTC's major funding sources.
"We have a corporate responsibility, with other jurisdictions, and so it's not one of these things where you can just say, 'You know, we're not going to fund it.' There are two or three options we're going to look at in the future. We have, over the years, in Prince William County, funded from the general fund, a little bit of the operation of the transportation systems, but I don't think we can continue to do that in the current scenario. The General Assembly could put a floor on the amount of [motor fuels] tax that's being cut. One of the things I would like to see done would be for the state General Assembly to come in there and come and give us some real, meaningful revenues to help operate this transit system," Jenkins said.
May also mentioned seeking outside funding sources, including the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA), but that ultimately there would have to be some cuts at PRTC.
"I'm open to working with my colleagues to try and identify funding to help with some of that. I also think we should probably take a look at the possibility of using NVTA funds for a portion of that as well, but there's probably going to have to be some reductions made on the PRTC side as well," May commented.
Marx stated that public hearings could be held in the future to hear from county residents, as to how to address the $9 million shortfall.
Free admission at Manassas Museum, starting July 1
On July 1, the Manassas Museum will be offering free admission.
The decision to provide free admission to the museum came from the Manassas Historic Resources Board and the Manassas City Council, in order to give residents the opportunity to visit the museum.
The museum first opened in 1973, after residents created an exhibit to celebrate the city's Centennial. Due to the popularity of that exhibit, the museum was created – located originally on Main Street – in 1991.
The Manassas Museum is currently on Prince William Street.
"The City of Manassas has a historic heart. We want to share this history with our residents and visitors at no cost," stated City Manager W. Patrick Pate in a release.
According to a city release, some of the city's programs including Spirits of Manassas and the Liberia Holiday tours will still have an admission charge, and the museum will still be accepting donations.
Any programs run by the museum are free for residents with a Manassas Museum Associates members, said a release.
The museum is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Labor Day.
String of armed robberies, carjacking of pizza deliverymen in Woodbridge, Manassas
There have been multiple instances of armed robberies and a carjacking of pizza deliverymen in Woodbridge and Manassas this week.
Armed robbery, carjacking in Manassas
On June 24, Prince William police responded to Saint Croix Lane in Manassas to investigate a robbery.
According to Prince William police, the victim – a 29-year old man – reported to police that he was delivering a pizza when he was flagged down by an individual. The victim stated that the individual said they were the ones that had called for the pizza and they were waiting on a friend to bring the money.
During the incident, another individual approached the victim, displaying a weapon and ordering the victim to the ground, according to Prince William police.
When the victim was on the ground, the two individuals took money, the pizza, a cell phone and car keys, before getting into the victim's car and fleeing the area, stated Prince William police. Another suspect fled on foot.
No one was injured.
Prince William police found the victim's car in a nearby parking lot. When an officer approached the vehicle, one of the individuals jumped from the driver's seat and fled on foot. A K-9 unit and helicopter were used to search for the individual and he was located and arrested. Keep Reading…

Northern Virginia families needed for visiting French teens
Early July is that exciting time of year when French teenagers sponsored by LEC (Loisirs Culturels a L'Etranger, founded in 1972 and based in Paris, France) will be arriving into Dulles Airport for a fun-filled three weeks in the Northern Virginia area.
But to do so they need local families willing to open their hearts and homes now.
LEC has five students, ages 14-19, who still need welcoming homes from July 7–27. They all speak English, are fully insured, bring ample spending money, and would like to participate as a member of an American family – your family!
But what does that entail?
Our families provide room and board, of course, but even more importantly friendship and the desire to include the student in their daily activities, thus giving the student a wonderful introduction to American life.
Families will receive a weekly stipend of $125 to help cover typical hosting costs. For more information or to apply, please contact Karen Sweer, LEC General Coordinator, at 717-795-7089 or firstname.lastname@example.com TODAY. We need Host families immediately to ensure that every student can visit the US. For more information, please see LEC-USA.com.
It is always fun to observe the group of teens searching for their host families in the airport crowd. Some of the students have corresponded and 'met' their families in advance. They have received pictures, and have heard about some of the upcoming plans for the 20 days that they will be in the Northern Virginia area. Others will shyly meet their American families for the first time once they leave the International Arrivals area.
Either way, excitement is in store for both students and families as both share in the daily activities and traditions of the family and have fun learning about each others' cultures.
Trips to the local swimming pool, bowling alleys, family reunions, and food stores may be just as much fun as trips to amusement parks, museums, the White House and baseball games. Even introducing your student to corn on the cob, American barbecue, or the joys of s'mores can be fun. All are new and exciting to our students! Let your imagination guide you!
Aurelie, a student from Paris who was housed in Chantilly last year, formed a strong bond with her host family who admitted that they had known little about France and had been nervous about opening their home to a student they had never met.
"We decided to go for it," host mother Joan stated, " and the 20 days just flew by. In the end, we wished Aurelie could have stayed much longer!"
Again, please contact Karen Sweer, LEC General Coordinator, at 717-795-7089 or email@example.com TODAY. Please help so we don't disappoint a single student! See you at Dulles on July 7!

Re: Really shabby GL performance issue
Ok, I tried again, and this time it wouldn't compile at all.
I tried re-installing the kernel source, but it still can't compile the nvidia.ko module.
Eventually, I messed around with the wrong setting and cabbaged my system.
So, I have a clean system now, with only the kernel source 2.6 and kernel source stripped 2.6 installed, and it still can't compile.
I would post the nvidia installer log file, but I don't know much about file permissions under Linux, and every time I try to copy it, it's still a root owned file.
Kind of embarrassing, but I've never had to swap file ownership before
Any help would be appreciated

Colgan Air pilots will begin their first contract talks with carrier management on 23 September.
Pilots do not currently have a collective bargaining agreement as they only voted in favour of Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) representation last December after rejecting a bid to unionise in August 2007. Pinnacle Airlines Corp acquired Colganin January 2007.
The start of negotiationsfollowsa fatal Colgan Bombardier Q400 crash this February. US legislators later held hearings in resposne to concerns raised by the crash that scrutinised regional pilot play, fatigue and commuting habits-issues likely to be raised during labour talks.
"The recent scrutiny of our industry and our airline has highlighted a number of issues, such as pilot compensation, pilot scheduling, and the application of our sick leave policy, that are major concerns for our pilots," Colgan master executive council (MEC) chairman Mark Segaloff says in a statement. "During this entire period, our management's response has been to 'get it at the negotiating table.' So, we are calling on our management to come to the table and start addressing these issues in a meaningful dialogue with us."
ALPA expects Colgan negotiations to take about a year to resolve with labour talks likely occurring once a month, a union spokeswoman says.
Colgan was not immediate available for comment.

ESNPKI-005 Helm - Mugaratham Version: 6 ESnet PKI Project March 2010 SubjectAltNames in X.509 Certificates Overview X.509 certificates bind a public key to the contents of the Subject field, the SubjectAltName extension, or both. The SubjectAltName extension has become the preferred location for Email addresses (S/MIME), and is recommended for use in the host identification phase of TLS. SubjectAltName supports a variety of data types. Do current revisions of well- known web browsers support this method of verifying a server connection? We conducted a few experiments with the development version of the DOEGrids CA certificates to see if we can issue host certificates with this feature. [[Also could test openssl – based client; ldap; also could test S/MIME; need to decide on scope for final draft]]. Motivation, method, and the results of these tests are described in detail Table of Contents Overview ................................................................................................................................... 1 Table of Contents ...................................................................................................................... 1 Introduction ............................................................................................................................... 1 X.509 Certificates ..................................................................................................................... 2 Motivation ................................................................................................................................. 2 SSLv3 and TLS ..................................................................................................................... 2 [[S/Mime]] ............................................................................................................................ 3 Tests .......................................................................................................................................... 3 DNS Host name as identifying name - Test Server .............................................................. 3 Test Data ........................................................................................................................... 4 Test Cases ......................................................................................................................... 4 Test Results ....................................................................................................................... 4 Conclusion ................................................................................................................................ 6 Hostname as identifier .......................................................................................................... 6 [[S/MIME?]] ......................................................................................................................... 6 Impact on PKI ....................................................................................................................... 6 Impact on CA ........................................................................................................................ 6 [[SMIME]] ........................................................................................................................ 6 Host and Service certificates ............................................................................................. 6 References ................................................................................................................................. 6 Introduction X.509 certificates are used in a wide variety of applications, providing a means to assure identity, secure communications, encrypt data, sign data (such as other certificates), and deliver authorization information based on these capabilities [ref1]. The DOEGrids Certificate Authority issues certificates that are used by to identify subscribers in Grid applications; on an experimental basis, they are used in S/MIME based email to sign and/or encrypt data. They may also be used to encrypt data [ref2]. We discuss techniques used to Helm - Mugaratham ESNPKI-005 [Page 1] Overview Helm - Mugaratham SubjectAltNames in X.509 Certificates March 2010 name the entity that owns the X.509 certificate. The X.509 section will describe the naming techniques available in the X.509 certificate. The standards bodies responsible for X.509 and for the various protocols and services that use X.509 certificates have been specifying how and why to use different naming techniques. But do the protocols and applications use these naming techniques? And why bother? The motivation section will discuss why we are interested in this problem. We have performed several experiments using our own custom certificates used in popular browsers [[and??]] to see how naming techniques are supported and how they interact. The tests section describes our methods and catalogues the results. Results show poor support in browsers for some naming choices [[and?]] [[and s/mime?]. Conclusions sums up these results and discusses changes to our service. X.509 Certificates X.509 certificates are defined by the ITU in a slowly-changing ITU-T Recommendation document as part of its Directory (X.500) series [ref]. DOEGrids certificates are used in web-based and Grid contexts, and these particular domains are further refined by the IETF PKIX working group"s Certificate Profile documents [refs] and the IETF TLS specifications [refs]. TLS itself is only partly implemented in most environments and so the SSLv3 specification is more cogent [ref]. X.509 certificates bind the name of an entity in the real world, such as human being named "Barbara Jennings", to a public key. The name is referred to as the "Subject", and both subject field and public key are part of the certificate contents. This binding is usually done by a third party, and many other things may be added to the certificate, but we are only concerned with the subject name here. The subject name is in the form of an X.500 or LDAP directory name and is often identical to the entity"s directory name. Because of that close association the X.509 certificate subject name is often called the distinguished name, which really has meaning only in the directory. There is an alternate representation of the subject name available in X.509v3 and later certificates, in the form of an X.509 extension called "SubjectAltName". This extension is defined fully in the X.509 document. It is a structure supporting several different identified name types as well as multiple entries. [[insert representation from X.509 126.96.36.199]]. [[We are interested here in which types: dnsname, rfc822name, ipaddress; what is happening in ipv6?]] X.509 certificates contain a large number of fields and extensions, many optionally. We are only concerned here with the interaction between the subject field and the subjectaltname extension. Motivation SSLv3 and TLS TLS does not specify a particular naming convention or rule for X.509 certificate subjects [ref]. However, certain protocols which employ TLS to support security services have adopted a hostname check as part of the identification phase of the protocol. This is the standard practice in web servers. A web server using SSL will present a certificate to the client, and this certificate will contain a fully qualified domain name in the CN component of the subject field. [[Discuss the way sslv3 describes this and the informational rfc for TLS]]. Helm - Mugaratham ESNPKI-005 [Page 2] X.509 Certificates Helm - Mugaratham SubjectAltNames in X.509 Certificates March 2010 An internet draft for LDAPv3 requires the same behavior for an LDAP server using TLS. Note that this is currently a standards-track draft [ref]. The Common Name (CN) of the Subject DN can be a descriptive server name or fully qualified domain name, if the entity is server or service. In addition to that the "SubjectAltName" extension may contain additional Domain Names, rfc822names,or ipAddresses. It became customary for clients, such as browsers, to do an additional check on the certificate it receives from the server. This test checks a hostname in the certificate subject against the hostname it determines through some means. [[Describe web host name check, ldap hostname check, and globus hostname check; web based is, "Does the cert contain a name that matches the URL I use to connect?" The Globus hostname check is more like tcpwrappers [ref], which is (connecton-ip->name = cert-hostname ? good : bad) … I think. Must check details]] It is often desireable for one server to support multiple names. An ISP might offer a virtual hosting service. Services might consolidate onto a single server, or a single service might be deployed on multiple platforms. There are many scenarios where a certificate containing multiple identities would improve the efficiency of the operation without any loss of assurance. The obvious solution would be to add multiple names to the certificate subject. This does not work in a directory based PKI, because the resulting subject name does not describe a sensible directory entry. Besides the architectural objection, in practice it simply does not work [[should we also include this case in experiments]]. Ipaddresses, DNS names, and email addresses also represent structured naming systems that are outside the control of the directory, and objections have been raised to having such information in directory relative distinguished names [ref: Steve Kent correspondence]. SubjectAltName extension was developed and added to the X.509 standard to provide a way to deal with these problems. New IETF RFC"s promote the use of this extension as a container for one or more server host names, client email addresses &c [refs]. The acceptance of these standards or recommendations by IETF security working groups suggests these uses should be deployed in the DOEGrids CA"s if possible. The use and impact on Globus software is unclear; however, Globus makes use of openssl software to support GSI [refs]. [[If openssl clients do something good , bad, or indifferent with SubjectAltName we can expect Globus might act accordingly. We may also be able to help Globus developers with this.]] . [[S/Mime]] Tests [[Need to list plan, other tests, decide what we will and won"t do &c. See above for note on checking multi-cn case.]] DNS Host name as identifying name - Test Server Server with Multiple hostname (beryl.es.net, ldap.doegrids.org & ldap.doesciencegrid.org ) Each hostname corresponds to different IPaddress Helm - Mugaratham ESNPKI-005 [Page 3] Tests Helm - Mugaratham SubjectAltNames in X.509 Certificates March 2010 Running iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition 6.0 Test Data Certificate X: Subject: CN=beryl.es.net,OU=Services,O=doegrids.org Certificate A: Subject: CN=beryl.es.net, OU=services, O=doegrids.org.

Only a Subject field that contains a CN=fully qualified domain name (such as CN=foo.es.net) can be expected to be managed well by clients.

UNDATED – (DRG News) This week brings more meetings as part of AARP South Dakota's statewide listening tour on Medicare and Social Security. AARP South Dakota's Cathy McLeer says the gatherings are coming up in central South Dakota to give people a chance to weigh in on the debate in Washington, D.C. about Medicare and Social Security.
The "You've Earned a Say" van is stopping for listening sessions in every South Dakota county this summer. The meetings started in April and 41 counties have already been visited. AARP will end with a gathering August 30 at the State Fair. McLeer says the effort gives people a chance to fill out a questionnaire about Medicare and Social Security, hear options being proposed in the nation's capital and join a discussion on the programs.
McLeer says many people express how important they feel Social Security and Medicare are in their lives and for future generations.
The next meetings on the tour will be Wednesday from noon to one at the Lodestar Casino in Fort Thompson and in Gettysburg from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Senior Center. Other sessions will be Thursday in Mobridge from 8-9 a.m. at the Wrangler Inn, in Herreid from 11:45 to 12:45 p.m. at Ruthie's and in McLaughlin from 5-6 at the City Hall Meeting Room. On Friday, there will be a meeting in Timber Lake from 8-9 a.m. at the Community Center and in Fort Pierre from 3-4 p.m. at Perkins. To register for the meetings, call 1-877-926-8300 or to see the full schedule, visit www.aarp.org/sd.

Coast Guard rescues 3 women from human trafficking in Zamboanga
Government operatives this week rescued in Zamboanga City three Filipina would-be victims of human trafficking bound for Sabah.
The Philippine Coast Guard said it, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, and the police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group rescued the three from the M/V Mary Joy on Monday.
In a press statement Thursday, the Coast Guard identified the three women as Rodecar Sanchez, 35, from Cebu City, and Louella Marie Zapata, 21, and Jenna Salas Marin, 23, both from San Fernando, Pampanga.
According to the Coast Guard, the three were about to be sent to Sabah via Sulu.
However, a joint team of Coast Guard Station Zamboanga, Field Station Southwestern Mindanao Operatives, CIDG Group-9, DSWD, Philippines Charter of Transnational Crime and Visayan Forum Foundation Inc. intercepted them.
The operatives arrested the suspected traffickers identified as Benhar Mukin and Estrella Hasan, both from Zamboanga City.
According to the three victims, one Shon Joon Sin recruited them in Pampanga and promised them decent jobs with good salarie in Sabah.
Hasan and Mukin were to accompany the three to Sabah via Jolo aboard M/V Mary Joy.
The three were brought to the Visayan Forum Foundation Inc. while the two suspects were detained at the CIDG Group-9 office.
The suspects will undergo preliminary investigation for violating the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2012, the Coast Guard said. — JDS, GMA News

InterContinental Hong Kong
|InterContinental Hong Kong
InterContinental Hong Kong in 2011
|General information
|Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
Hong Kong
|June 2001
|InterContinental Hong Kong official website
InterContinental Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港洲際酒店) is an InterContinental hotel in Hong Kong. It is located on 18 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, on the former site of Holt's Wharf.
The hotel was opened as The Regent Hong Kong (Chinese: 麗晶酒店) and it was originally owned and managed by New World Development.
In June 2001, New World sold the hotel to Six Continents plc for £241 million. Six Continents (now InterContinental Hotels Group PLC) then rebranded the property as the InterContinental Hong Kong.
The Presidential Suite, billed at US$13,715 per night, is listed at number 15 on World's 15 most expensive hotel suites complied by CNN Travel in 2012.[1]
Japanese restaurant 'Nobu', part of the restaurant concept by chef Nobuyuki "Nobu" Matsuhisa is based at the hotel, since December 2006.[2][3] The restaurant was listed at no. 15 on Asia's Top 20 Restaurants of the Miele Guide in the 2009/2010 edition.[4] It was also listed at no. 16 for the 2008/2009[5] and 2010/2011 editions.[6]

The OHLwriters hot stove has returned. As always a question will be posed to the OHLwriters crew and they will do their best to answer.
This week's question
With the OHL season passing its quarter pole mark last week what has been the biggest surprise of the season good or bad?
Dwayne Williams ( @notsoheavyd)
One interesting thing that has happened so far this year is that there isn't a rookie in the scoring race. Connor Brown (Erie) is leading the way with 42 points. The closest rookie sits at #46 - underager Travis Konecny of the Ottawa 67's.
The biggest surprise for me is how far and how hard the Kitchener Rangers have fallen in the standings this season. Last year they finished at the #4 spot in the Western Conference with 39 wins, 87 points and a .640 winning percentage. This season they are in the #9 spot with the same amount of points as Sarnia (but have played three fewer games than the Sting). In 17 games this season, Kitchener has 5 wins, 11 points and a winning percentage of only .324. It is also interesting that last season's #9 team (Windsor Spitfires) have played only one more game this season but have double the points (22). Kitchener's top scoring trio have 35 points combined (three players in the league have 35 points or greater). The rest of this month, the Rangers have 8 games - 2 vs. Eastern Conference teams. Twice they will host the Owen Sound Attack. They also go up against nationally ranked Greyhounds (home), Otters (away) and Storm (away).
Dominic Tiano ( @dominictiano)
The biggest surprise for me is a disappointment for me and that is attendance at the quarter mark of the OHL season. While most expected, and rightfully so, an increase in attendance last season because of the National Hockey League's lockout, the numbers border on disappointment.
During the 2011-2012 season, the season prior to the NHL lockout, OHL teams averaged 3916 fans per game. During the lockout season, those teams average 4019 fans per game, an increase of 103 fans per game. Five teams actually saw a drop in attendance while 4 more remained pretty much stagnant.
Do date this season, teams are averaging 3767 fans per game, a drop of 252 per game from last season and down 149 from the pre NHL lockout season. Those numbers are also skewed a little with the increase in attendance with the move of the Battalion from Brampton to North Bay and the increased capacity in Kitchener and of course Ottawa not playing in their regular home.
Comparing this season to date to the pre-lockout season, there is a drop of 149 fans per game, again skewed for the above mentioned reasons. Twelve teams are seeing a decrease while three more are stagnant.
While on ice performance plays a role in attendance - as teams suffer on the ice so does attendance - it must also be remembered that as one teams performance drops on the ice another improves, and rational says they should balance each other out. The game is more exciting and there are plenty of great players in the OHL this season, which is why I am surprised and disappointed with the numbers to date.
Peter Kneulman ( @peterkneulman)
For me the biggest surprise would be the Windsor Spitfires. At the beginning of the year I had them pegged at finishing 9th in the Western Conference but they have proven me wrong at that front. The front office has made some astute moves by picking up Alex Fotinos from Barrie and signing FA forward Cristiano DiGiacinto from Hamilton of the OJHL. On top of this you are seeing some of the best hockey of their OHL careers out of Nick Ebert and Brady Vail while Slater Koekkoek and Kerby Rychel are doing what you would expect. What it all adds up to is the 2nd place team in the West division and the 5th place team in the Western Conference with a +22 goal differential. While I don't know if they will keep this up as I ultimately feel they will have a big sell off you can't help but be impressed with what they have accomplished thus far.

Library bond defeated in WeathersfieldBy Patrick OGrady
Correspondent | March 06,2014WEATHERSFIELD At town meeting Tuesday, voters defeated a $1.3 million bond article to expand the 112-year-old Proctor Library, re-elected two Select Board members and passed the town and school budgets.
The bond for the library, which would have more than doubled the usable space, was defeated 365-302.
Ernie Shand, chairman of the library trustees, said Tuesday night he couldnt pinpoint a reason for the defeat but believes supporters will come back next year and try again.
One of the first things I thought of was to do more fundraising, Shand said.
The trustees had raised about $53,000 and pledged to continue with the effort to bring down the overall cost to taxpayers.
I heard more people say we did a good job presenting it (Monday night) and it changed some minds, Shand said. People who were against dont tell you why. We will just have to work on it again.
At Monday nights informational meeting, residents expressed mixed views with some saying a library is an essential piece to any community and Proctor Library, built in 1902, is in dire need of more space. Others thought the cost was too high and work could be done to bring it down.
The library bond was one of four articles defeated on the combined town and school warnings with 16 articles. Voters also turned down an $18,000 loan toward the purchase of a police cruiser by a vote of 338-329. Article 18, asking for $5,000 to be deposited in the police cruiser reserve fund, lost 348-311. Article 20, asking for $800 for a Weathersfield Directory of businesses, was voted down 357-261.
Select Board Chairman Dan Boyer defeated business owner Mike Todd, 300-288, for a three-year board seat and in the only other contested race on the ballot, Selectman John Arrison received 239 votes while Charles Horton recieved 214 and Lynn Esty received 178 for a two-year seat.
The town budget of $1.22 million passed, 411-253, and the school budget was approved, 387-279. Voters also passed Article 5 on the school warning, 377-289, to raise $45,000 toward the purchase of a new school bus.
The town budget and separate appropriations are expected to add just fewer than 4 cents to the town tax rate, bringing it to around 60 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, and the residential school tax rate will also rise a little less than 4 cents from just less than $1.66 to nearly $1.70. Combined, the approved spending would add less than $160 a year in taxes on a property valued at $200,000.
Also approved easily was the highway budget of $1 million, $160,000 toward the purchase of a new grader, $115,000 for a truck/snowplow, $231,000 for the solid-waste budget and money for three reserve funds for fire apparatus, highway maintenance and future acquisition of highway maintenance and repair equipment.
Incumbents Nate McKeen and Sandra S. Dockum along with Robin H. Tindall were elected to the School Board in uncontested races.
Turnout amounted to 670 voters, or 32 percent of the towns 2,062 registered voters.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...
