Hi guys!!
I have the following scenario: a Windows Xp Professional SP3 with the SGN client installed. I've made a policy for encryption of the c: and d: volumes. The encryption was set to use the machine key.
Question: I would like to know how we remove the encryption of the volumes. I've tried to change the policy to "No Encryption" but it didn't change anything. Is there any tool for booting and remove the encryption like in Safeguard Easy?
I really appreciate any help!!
Happy new year!!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Roberto,
Are you trying to access the encrypted drive for data recovery to re-image or do you want to keep the SGN Client installed but decrypt the drive?
In the event that you are performing data recovery and neither of these suggestion work for you, please take a look through the Recovery Document found in this KB http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/articl
Let us know your results so others can benefit from your experiences. Thanks in advance.

Thank you Roberto, my pleasure to help.

While the SGE decryption option is handy when needing to perform data recovery, when it comes to SGN it really isn't needed anymore. Unless you have another reason for removing the encryption which would be very helpful if you posted so we can give you the best response.
There are a few ways to perform data recovery with SGN. If you use driving slaving then that method will give you quick access to the protected data without removing the protection. Two benefits are saved time and maintaining the protection.
Another way to recovry data is using the WinPE 2.0 disc with the SGN drivers and libraries. Since you metioned you are looking for another method than the C/R to access the encrypted disk try using the WinPE recovery disc with POA authentication. Take a look at this KB Article for details on how to execute the recovery process. KBA #108555
What that KBA overlooks is the situaion when POA is disabled. During the boot process, when the display reads that the auto user is logging in or please wait for auto logon hit the F2 key. That will bring POA up and then login.
Happy holidays!!!

I have a smilar situation. I have SafeGuard Enterprise installed on my laptop (about 2 weeks back). However, my windows got corrupted, and since the drive is encrypted, I am unable to recover any data from the drive. For now my IT support group has provided me with a new hard-drive. Can you please tell me how I can go about recovering the data? The IT support group has installed the SafeGuard Enterprise in my laptop, however when i log into it using my corporate username and password, I am still not allowed to access the old hard drive.
Please help.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Prasad,
If I am reading your post correctly, then you are a non-IT staff employee at your company. It also sounds like you had an issue with your hard drive, IT gave you a new one and you want to read the data from the old encrypted drive. Correct?
Your IT Support group needs to give you access to the BOOT_<machine.name> key so you can read the encrypted drive. If you do not have access to the Management Center there isn't much more I can guide you to do other than to contact your IT Support Group and have them read this discussion.
Thanks for your question and I hope you are able to get to your data with the help of your IT Support Group.

Is it possible to push out decryption via policy, without user intervention (much like you can push out encryption this way)?
Wed 17-Mar-2010 21:26
HI ssij,
Thank you for stopping by the SophosTalk community forum and posting your question.
You can configure the existing security policies or create a separate policy to decrypt a volume. Three things need to happen in order to get the volume decrypting:
The important components to note here are that you are first enabling a User to remove encryption without removing the SGN Client software. This is a User based policy. Second, changing the policy to 'No encryption' is a Computer Based policy which can be applied to Computer and Users in a 'Decryption' group. Lastly, is the action taken to remove the encryption. If your question is asking to be able to change a security policy and without any User action to remove encryption? That is lower security and increases an organization's risk to be non-compliant.
I don't believe that anyone reading this post would want to come into work one day and hear that everyone's computers are decrypting or have already been decrypted. Yikes!! After you change the security policy back to 'Volume based' encryption, make sure you are checking the classified ads for a new career.

DSchwartzberg wrote:On the workstation you want to decrypt, go to My Computer which displays the drive letters and icons. Right-click on the volume you want to decrypt. Click on the 'Encryption' tab added by SGN. The 'Media encrypted' check box should now be enabled. Unselect the checkbox, click 'OK' or 'Apply' and watch the drive decrypt.
Step 3 in your explanation has to be done by either the user or administrator while they are physically sitting in front of the machine. What I was curious about was whether or not this can be done by the server without any intervention by a user or administrator.
Fri 19-Mar-2010 16:25
Hi ssij,
SGN is designed to only allow decryption with some user or administrative action. If you need to reimage a device, then there is no need to decrypt beforehand. Actually, it's most secure to leave the encryption and reimage on top of the disk, followed by encryption. If you are decrypting but want to leave the SGN Client on the device, then the method described previously is to best course of action.
Can you please help me understand why you need to remove the encryption?

Things I liked:Nice not to have to walk out to retrieve paper targets. Size of targets limits range choices.
Things I would have changed:Netting is too tight, pulls wire frame out of position often.
What others should know:Good for lower powered air guns, maybe 500 fps or less at a range of 30-40 feet or less. Higher power guns tend to knock the targets off their posts.
Mark--This target is made for airsoft guns. Are you shooting at it with pellet guns or steel BBs?
Things I liked:This is absolute garbage. Not even decent instructions and when you assemble those few pieces and you don't like the looks of it,or you cannot understand why that thing does not stay stable there is not even a way to see if you mounted anything wrong. The little targets are very feeble and don't even stay straight while the structure that holds the net cannot be stable. The targets don't fall they are just thrown away even with when shot by a very weak gun. Does not work at all
What others should know:This was not expensive but I would not wanted if it was free. Don't buy this product.
Things I liked:i like this product.it's perfect

Shakespeare eats?
Hi all,
I'm heading to Shakespeare on the common tonight and was thinking I'd pick up some take out but I'm blanking on ideas. I wanted something light, summery (I had a Speed's dog for lunch) and easy to eat while sitting on the ground. Any suggestions?
Lamberts has a branch on Tremont (corner of West St., I think) with great deli offerings, salads and fruits.
And of course there's always Chinatown.
On Winter Street, Felafel King should be open late enough that you can get a Middle Eastern salad dinner to take with you. I think they close at 7pm.
The Upper Crust isn't too far for pizza. I've seen a lot of people get eats from there.
I'll be there tonight as well. I'm making Prosciutto and Brie Sandwiches with Rosemary Fig Confit. I made them last year for the same event and they were great. The confit is already made, just need to assemble the sandwiches!

First Marijuana Dispensary Opens In Arizona
Arizona's first marijuana dispensary has opened after a judge rules that the Feds cannot prohibit dispensaries from opening up in the state.
"This is a big court ruling for the 2010 Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, and the one on which would-be operators of dispensaries have been waiting."
The decision was made by Superior Court Judge Michael Gordon. A new dispensary has just opened in Tucson, but won't be officially opening its doors until later this month.
The planned medical marijuana dispensary, White Mountain Health Center, was denied zoning information by the county, which was required by the state. The center has now been given the green light.
The judge wrote:
"… in the final analysis, the Court finds that federal law does not preempt the AMMA. In so doing, the Court notes that Arizona, if it had wished to do so, could have fully decriminalized the possession, use and sale of marijuana under State law.
In its wisdom, Arizona took a far narrower and deliberative course opting to allow only the chronically ill access to it and only after a licensed physician certified that it might well relieve its citizens of suffering."
Arizonians may be getting what the want for Christmas after all- about 6 ounces. That is, if their physician allows it.

WORCESTER, Mass. – Sophomore Stephanie Okpoebo (Chelmsford, Mass.) sprinted her way to the top of the podium as the Holy Cross women's track and field team wrapped up the final day of action at the Patriot League Outdoor Championship on Saturday at the Hart Track. Okpoebo set new personal best times in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes to take home first place in both events. She crossed the finish line in 12.00 seconds flat in the 100-meter and at 24.71 seconds in the 200-meter. Okpoebo was also the final leg of the 4x100-meter relay team that set a new Holy Cross record with a time of 47.02 seconds. Other members of the record setting team included freshman Brianna Tabin (South Hadley, Mass.), junior Melanie Forte (Milford, N.H.) and freshman Katie Bobinski (Torrington, Conn.).
Junior Brittany Gorski (Tewksbury, Mass.) finished in second place in the 400-meter hurdles and set a new personal best time of 1:03.01 in the process. Sophomore Amanda Waldron (Walpole, Mass.) also recorded the best time of her career in the 5,000-meter run crossing the finish line in 10th place with a time of 17:49.29. The Crusaders also set season-best marks in two events. Senior Katelyn Hartnett (Danvers, Mass.) finished fourth in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:11.58 and the 4x400-meter relay team comprised of Okpoebo, freshman Fiorella Johnson (Redding, Conn.), Hartnett and Gorski finished in fourth place with a time of 3:52.36.

Holy Cross tallied three other top-10 finishes on the second day of competition including senior Alexandria Culkeen (Beverly, Mass.) who took seventh in the shot put with a throw of 12.24 meters and senior Paige Sutherland (Groveland, Mass.) who crossed the finish line 10th overall in the 1,500-meter run at 4:41.58. Johnson also finished 10th in the 400-meter run with a time of 58.50 seconds.
The Crusaders finished the meet in sixth place with a team total of 55 points. Okpoebo was involved in earning 32 of those points, recording 20 points for her two first place finishes and adding 8 points with the 4x100 and 4 points with the 4x400-meter relay teams. Navy won the title with 156.50 points knocking off second place finisher and defending champion Bucknell (133.50). Lehigh rounded out the top-three with 118 points followed by Army (83), Lafayette (79), Holy Cross, Colgate (51) and American (6).

APPS Act Implications: What Developers Should Know About User Privacy, Consent
Aleecia McDonald, director of privacy at the Center for Internet and Society, spoke with Shane Schick from Fierce Developer about the APPS Act and offered up four suggestions for developers to keep in mind prior to it's possible passage.
Let's be honest for a moment: When was the last time you, or anyone you know, took the time during the installation of a software program to read all the way through the user license agreement before clicking on the "I agree" button? And on a smartphone screen? If the answer was "recently," Joe Santilli would like to meet you.
An experienced entrepreneur and developer, Santilli is among those who have been closely following the introduction of the Application Privacy, Protection and Security (APPS) Act of 2013 by Congressman Hank Johnson, which would mandate greater transparency around the way developers collect, use and store personal information about their customers. Among other things, the APPS Act would require developers to ensure apps have "consented terms and conditions, reasonable data security of collected data, and users with control to cease data collection by opting out of the service or deleting the user's personal data to the greatest extent possible."
According to Aleecia McDonald, director of privacy at the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School, the APPS Act is fairly well-tailored to many of the concerns raised by consumer protection groups. But she said that some questions around enforcement and penalties remain.
How to be proactive about the APPS Act
Though she estimated developers would have about a year to comply with the APPS Act if it passes, Aleecia McDonald offered four suggestions for developers to mull in the meantime:
1. Develop a good privacy policy. It's age-old advice but it remains critical, she said, even for developers who don't have a legal team. Plenty of templates and tools from the likes of PrivacyChoice and TrustE can help with this, she added.
2. Figure out a recording mechanism for consent. A new telecom act in the Netherland requires consent be given any time someone uses technology that relies on unique identifiers, like a website cookie. "Even if you have a single customer in the Netherlands, you need to be compliant with this," she said. "This is a big deal for a lot of companies."
3. Ensure data security on the back end. If something goes haywire with an app, you won't just lose customers--you may have to shell out big bucks to inform them of a breach. "Data breach notification is really costly," she said, noting it could require sending a physical letter to everyone affected by a hacker. "This could wipe out all your profits."
4. Create a deletion process. This isn't necessarily enshrined in many laws today, but developers should think about some kind of "eraser" button that would allow consumers to remove their personal details at any time. This is different than opting out or uninstalling an app.

Robbery may have been the motive for Saturdays shooting death of a Connecticut man who was in the area to attend a family funeral.
Sean Edwards, 21, of New Haven, Conn., was gunned down in the parking lot of Club Isis in Pawleys Island at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday. He was pronounced dead at Waccamaw Community Hospital at 3:31 a.m., according to Coroner Kenny Johnson.
A Pawleys Island police officer was the first law enforcement official on the scene. When he arrived, he found Edwards on the ground with a faint pulse. He was between a car and a trash container when authorities arrived, according to an incident report.
The drivers side door on Edwards vehicle was open.
Johnson said an autopsy revealed Edwards died from a single gunshot wound to the chest.
Sheriffs Office spokeswoman Carrie Cuthbertson said investigators are following leads on a possible suspect but no arrests have been made.
Edwards arrived in town Friday afternoon with other family members to attend the funeral of his aunt Merve Milton which took place Sunday, according to Edwards cousin, William Clark.
Clark said because Edwards only recently turned 21, it was his first time at Club Isis.
He was accompanied by some other family members but they were inside the club when the shooting took place, Clark said.
He said, so far, investigators have released very little information to the family.
They say they think he was robbed but they are not telling us anything else, Clark said. No one has a clue who did it.
Clark described Edwards who lived in Connecticut his entire life as a jolly person who did not start trouble.
He was very wise. He had his high school diploma, Clark said, adding Edwards was working in maintenance at a hospital in his hometown.
The was the second murder in Pawleys Island this year and both are unresolved.
James Earl Richardson Jr., 18, was found shot to death at the corner of Parkersville Road and Julian Rutledge Drive on May 25.
He suffered multiple gunshots to the torso, according to Johnson.
The Sheriffs Office is urging anyone with information about either murder to call 546-5101.

For those of you who follow me on social media (hello!) this might be old news, but I wanted to share my review of a fun studio I fit crashed while in Boston last week. I was in town for an overnight business trip and knew I wanted to sneak in a workout early in the morning before my meetings. I crashed Barry's Bootcamp last time I visited and wanted to try something just as unique. Finding fun workouts while traveling is always a challenge – in fact, one of the sparks behind this blog was my deep frustration over not being able to find honest fitness class reviews while visiting Chicago a few years ago.
Whenever I visit a new city, I try to do my homework and find someplace new to crash. Let me tell you, it's not easy, but I've learned a few tricks of the trade. And there's something truly energizing and fun about experiencing the city through fitness – I think it's safe to say it's one of my favorite forms of tourism. So, to come full circle, I may have been in Boston for less than 24 hours but made an extra effort to squeeze in a sweat.
To give you the full flavor of what my experience was like, let me set the scene for you.
It's 5:45 a.m. when my alarm goes off. How rude. It's mocking me by marking the time when I should have awoken refreshed, renewed, and ready to flit out of dreamland and down to Newbury Street for my workout.
Instead, I've been up since a 2:30 a.m. siren sent me blearily bolting out of bed and into my sneakers. Wrapped in half-sleep and a crumpled robe, I methodically followed the tide of hotel guests down the stairs. A few of us locked eyes and exchanged silent complaints about the annoyingly crass alarm that set us on this troubled course to begin with. But on the course we went, such as fire alarms go. And after a few moments outside in the cold and rain, we were assured by hotel management that it was a false alarm, all was well, and we should get some sleep. Sleep? Ha. I instead laid achingly awake in a dark hotel room for two hours until my alarm suggested that yes, indeed, it was now time to start the day. Good morning sunshine! Harumph.
So I dug my spandex out of my suitcase, tied on my sneakers once again, and slowly traipsed through the still-falling rain to my workout class at Btone Fitness. Honestly, if I didn't have a previously-scheduled class to attend, I would have rolled over and tried to snag a cat nap. But I was truly excited to crash this trendy little boutique megaformer studio that I just had to power through and make the most of it.
Btone sits above fashionable Newbury Street in a wood-floored, cozy space that's bookended by windows and flooded with natural light. It has a stylish and fully-stocked locker room with showers, a couch to hang out on, and storage for your belongings. Btone offers a few different boutique-style classes, including spin on Real Ryder bikes, barre blast, and the signature tone class on the megaformer. They offer a $5 drop-in deal for first-timers, so if you're visiting or new to Boston, how can you say no?
Our instructor Lisa introduced herself as I got set up on my megaformer, asked if I had any questions, and talked through the upcoming class. I love the personal touch of making newcomers feel welcome. She mentioned another visitor from DC had stopped by earlier in the week – if you're reading this, leave a comment below, I want to compare notes! Despite my severe lack of sleep, I was looking forward to finding how Btone might differ from classes at other megaformer studios I've crashed like Solidcore in DC, Sculpt in Bethesda, and Firebrand in Portland. While the machine is always the same, I've come to find that different studios approach teaching the megaformer in subtly unique ways, making it a fun adventure at every new location.
The class itself wasn't particularly memorable. Perhaps it was because my head was in a bit of a fog. Perhaps it was because everyone was feeling the early-morning start time. But the class seemed to lag and lacked a certain zesty energy that I'm used to. I didn't break a sweat, which was really surprising. I wasn't sore the next day, which was even more surprising. Transitions were slow and the music was just loud enough to be heard but not really felt. I left feeling accomplished but not especially tuckered out.
This might have been a unique case, and as with any studio, overall class awesomeness depends on the particular time of day, the energy from the students, and the instructor. Maybe DC just has crazy-hard, wildly-energetic megaformer classes that have now ruined me from enjoying any others. Who knows!
At any rate, I said my thank yous and good byes and ducked back into the rain for a quick jaunt to the nearest coffee shop for an extra-grande cup of joe. Extra. Grande. After the night I had and an early morning fit crash, it was a grande kind of day.
Until next time, Boston!
6 Comments on Boston: Crashing Btone Fitness
thanks for crashing! there is such a variety of instructors and yes the early am times tend to have a quieter delivery. hope to see you back in boston soon!
Hi Meaghan,
I may be one of the few people who really don't understand the megaformer craze – I've done it three times now (twice in DC and once in San Francisco), and I just thought it was so dangerous and awkward. Anyway, can I recommend you try a reformer pilates class at the beautiful Toolbox Pilates & Art Studio in Dupont Circle? It's a delightful and beautifully restored two-story carriage house located within the interior of the block that is bordered by Q and R Streets and Connecticut Avenue and 19th Street. I am in no way affiliated with the space, but I take classes there and love it. Plus, the studio is GORGEOUS and will photograph so well for your blog! Great job and keep up the good work
There's another blogger I follow – Nicole from Pumps & Iron – who actually teaches at one of the btone locations in Boston. You should reach out to her if you're in the market to give this type of class another try. I haven't tried her class in person, but based on the workouts she posts on her blog, she seems like the type to lead a super energetic and tiring class!

Harbaugh not fazed by defending title
Harbaugh: Ravens will 'become the best football team'
Who will be most important newcomer?
Will trying to repeat change Harbaugh?
Will the defense be better in 2013?
How much will Boldin be missed?
Are the Ravens vulnerable at ILB?
Can Flacco have his best season?
Having made the playoffs the past five seasons, coach John Harbaugh figures the Ravens know how to prepare to defend a championship.
There is a prevailing cliché that the Ravens will get every opponent's "best shot" in 2013, as reigning Super Bowl champs. However, when was the last time the Ravens were considered a soft touch on anyone's schedule? Being perennial contenders makes the Ravens, particularly core players like Joe Flacco, Ray Rice, Haloti Ngata, and Terrell Suggs, more prepared for what lies ahead.
"I feel like we get everyone's best shot for the last five years," Harbaugh said Tuesday after rookies and quarterbacks practiced to open training camp. "I feel like people are always ready to play the Ravens. They understand what kind of game they're gonna be in."
Quarterback Joe Flacco believes the Ravens' winning tradition will help set the tone.
"I think we got a good culture in our locker room," Flacco said. "Everybody knows how to work. I think it's gotten passed down from generation to generation. That definitely helps."
Having made numerous offseason personnel changes, the Ravens will have a different cast, trying to reach the same destination. That's one reason why training camp will be important, because the new personnel needs to gel quickly, particularly on defense.
"We've got a lot of guys that are hungry because they haven't been there before, so we'll just see how that mix plays out," said Harbaugh. "I think we can be a very good football team. But we have to prove it."

An uninvited guest to a wedding in Canada earlier this week stole the show. Usually people talk about the cake, the dress, or the ring- but not this time.
A wedding photographer captured a tornado in the background of one couples' pictures and social media has been taken by storm. It's what some are calling "extreme". Another recent example happened in Oregon where a couple was forced to shorten their wedding ceremony due to a raging wildfire.
Kerry Brooks, a professional photographer in Huntsville with more than 17 years of experience, believes it all comes back to a safety issue. "It's probably a negative precedent. You might have people who would have, in any other circumstance, gone and sought shelter. Or just avoided the situation altogether," said Brooks.
Brooks added, "You're inviting danger and I think that is something that should be considered when looking at those photos."
The most daring thing Brooks has photographed was when a couple requested pictures of them walking across the top of a waterfall with their dog.
"You're always trying to provide your client with something that they can't get somewhere else," said Brooks, but don't look for him to have any tornadoes in his pictures. "No, I don't really feel like I need to rely on some natural occurrence to make an outstanding photograph," stated Brooks.
Do you think these recent events are setting a bad precedent? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Right now, you'd think the Web was still made up mainly of people who write. Look at all those earnest websites with opinions from people like me. The reality is though that the Web, the surfing public and to an increasing extent our work lives, are made up of people who play games or who make videos.
There's been an interesting debate here on Forbes about which web-type of social software will win out in the workplace – in future what will we all be using to communicate and collaborate with at work? Will it be Microsoft's [MSFT] new social suite, based on Sharepoint, or will it be something from Oracle or SAP? I'd like to think it will be YouTube, and maybe tools like visual.ly. (See also this piece on YouTube and H+).
As YouTube artist What'sUpElle says: "I recently met with a 7 million dollar start-up who boasted the same number of followers (100,000) as me after a year and I realized that perhaps I can take my "bedroom" business seriously" (well, not just the bedroom but the trend towards empowered individuals).
YouTube used to be wonderfully anarchic but of late Google [GOOG] has brought some order into it, provided a few more tools, and community to producers, and begun to help people with a creative leaning to build their audiences more systematically.
YouTube is all about the frontier of communications, a million smart people seeking creative differentiation, using visual means to send messages to an audience that slowly comes into focus. It's a great analogy for a new business world.
To get more of a feeling for the visual frontier, I put a few questions to four creative acts at different stages in their development on YouTube. They are: the visual special effects (VFX) team Corridor Digital, who currently have 880,000 YouTube subscribers; musical parody artist Dave Days; newcomer Swoozie; and What'sUpElle, all of whom are with talent management and media company Big Frame.
Starting with Elle, a Stanford grad who writes, directs and produces all of her videos and has created social media ads for brands such as Mattel [MAT], Keurig, popchips and Levi's, and I'm told has collaborated with Ashton Kutcher.
Q: Did you ever try the conventional route of auditioning for parts, roles or gigs?
What'sUpElle: Yes. For example, after 5 rounds of auditions, MTV flew me to New York City for a full-blown screen test. My contact lens fell out, I couldn't read the teleprompter, and I think I cried the whole plane ride home. Auditioning was never my thing.
Sam Gorski of Corridor Digital: We tried the freelance visual effects route, but because our skills were so wide (shooting, directing, editing, visual effects, sound, music) it was difficult for us to specialize so much on the 'professional' level and we found the process unexciting. However, YouTube was a good option for us – we have been doing 3-5 minute action videos for years, so it was only natural for us to continue now that there is an actual
platform for that!
Swoozie: Yes. Whenever I heard about Hollywood and gaming crossing paths, I auditioned (i.e reality shows or televised video gaming leagues). I got casted for one on DIRECTV and one on the SYFY channel but each only lasted for about a year or two and left me hungry for more; they were so much fun!
What's your real talent and when do you think, this is what I've got to do?
Swoozie: I'd say my real talent is storytelling. When I do it, I feel like it's the reason I'm "here". The moment things started to click was while working at the Hard Rock Hotel as a lifeguard. I was at my post on top the water slide reading TIME magazine and there was an article about YouTubers who were making a living from their bedrooms.
What'sUpElle: I'm unsure of my real talent… I guess what I enjoy the most is being as creative as possible.

One of Sandusky's most decrepit, decaying structures will soon receive a massive makeover.
State planners informed city officials about their plans to rehabilitate the Camp Street underpass by October 2014.
The $2 million project should start in April 2014, city project engineer Jane Cullen said.
"It's in dire need of repair," Erie Regional Planning director Steve Poggiali said.
Sandusky's former engineer Todd Roth told the Register in March 2012 the project should've started by now.
Among the bridge's most notable deficiencies: The walls leading into the underpass, or what locals calls a "subway," continue to rot.
If crews don't improve the dilapidated walls before 2014 ends, erosion will eventually advance toward the structure's middle portion.
Ignoring improvements would compromise the structure supporting railroad tracks spanning above Camp Street, where hundreds of cars and dozens of people walk by each day.
"The upkeep of all the subways is important," city commissioner Wes Poole said. "We need to upgrade the infrastructure as much as possible in this community."
It's not known today whether Camp Street will remain open to traffic just before or during construction.
Not since the 1930s — when the structure debuted — has the Camp Street underpass received such a major upgrade.

(Media availability en route to Tallinn, Estonia.)
Q: We wanted to ask you if you could tell us a little bit about the situation that happened today in the Philippines? Were you and other U.S. authorities fully consulted, adequately consulted, in advance?
Rumsfeld: The situation in the Philippines as you'll recall is that we went in to do some training. We've been doing it. The Philippine government has been planning for some time to try and deal with their hostage problem which has been going on now for a good year plus. They have on occasion made plans to do something and for whatever reason made other plans. It's not an easy thing to do. They've had intelligence from time to time that looked good and then wasn't so good. I'm told by folks in the Pentagon that we learned about it when the public did -- that is to say, when the, I believe, the Filipino army made an announcement as to what took place.
Q: Was that sufficient for you?
Rumsfeld: We were asked for assistance with respect, I believe, to medical evacuations and have been involved in that.
Q: Two medical evacuations?
Rumsfeld: I don't know. I'm told there was Mrs. Burnham and some Filipinos and I believe there were some Philippine military who needed to be evacuated, but I do not know that. They could have been the hostage takers.
Q: How many U.S. helicopters went in?
Rumsfeld: Oh, to the medical evacuation? I don't know.
Q: Mr. Secretary, do you whether Mr. Burnham's body has been recovered yet?
Rumsfeld: (Nods head, indicating no)
Q: It hasn't, or you don't know?
Rumsfeld: I don't know.
Q: Do you know how he was shot? Was he shot by --?
Q: Do you regret the way -- now knowing the outcome, do you regret that it took place?
Rumsfeld: No. You know every hostage situation is a dangerous situation and I have no more facts than you do at the moment. Obviously, one would hope and pray that hostages that are taken would end up being released alive. The Burnhams have not been well and have been in captivity a very long time and it seems to me that the attempt that was made to save their lives was understandable.
Q: What does that say about the future of operations there -- U.S. operations, training operations or other operations?
Rumsfeld: Oh, we'll continue to do the training.
Q: Did the helicopters go in after the shooting had stopped? Were any U.S. forces in a combat situation?
Rumsfeld: I'm told there were no U.S. forces involved at all, in any aspect.
Q: Well they did the medevac, or am I missing something?
Rumsfeld: Not until after it was over.
Q: Okay, that's what I wanted to know.
Q: Sir, any news on the India-Pakistan situation? Do you know or believe that Mr. Armitage's mission may have cooled things off, number one and number two, are you and Armitage working on some sort of coordinated one-two punch diplomatically?
Rumsfeld: You can be sure that the United States government is well wired together. The president's been involved and Secretary Powell has been involved. Rich is now involved. There is an awful lot of cable traffic, an awful lot of phone calls that take place. I'll be meeting with Rich Armitage (inaudible) either in person or by telephone.
Q: Will that be this weekend?
Rumsfeld: I don't know. It'll be after he's completed his situation and when I'm free; then the two of us can connect either physically or by phone.
Q: What about the first part of my question? That is, do you think his mission may have cooled things off?
Rumsfeld: Oh, it's way too soon to tell. I certainly hope so.
Q: There is a report this morning that the U.S. and Britain is reviewing the idea of putting troops along the line of control. Has that reached your attention in any way?
Rumsfeld: I've been reading about it in the papers.
Q: Is it an idea you would support?
Rumsfeld: I'd want sit down and talk to Rich and talk to Colin and see where we are with it. If and when it becomes time, it would be a government decision not an individual's decision.
Q: To be clearer, was your response to Tom's question, no, there is no such plan under consideration to use U.S. troops in that way?
Rumsfeld: No, not that I know of, but that's not for me to (inaudible).
Q: Sir, do you have anything specific in mind right now that you want to talk to the heads of state about India and Pakistan, or is it largely --?
Rumsfeld: You bet.
Q: So it's not just dependent on what --
Rumsfeld: No.
Q: And could you give us any sense of the kind of message you're going to put out, without going into specifics?
Rumsfeld: Oh, I don't want to get into it because I'm going investing a lot of time between now and then on the subject and reading cable traffic and thinking it through and talking to the people who have been involved and developing an approach that will be current and appropriate.
Q: Have you spoken to any of the Indian and Pakistani leaders?
Q: [Norway Minister of Defense] Devold just told us that for the United States and Europe to come together politically wise, that there needs to be more intelligence sharing between the two countries. And she said that she thinks with your briefing yesterday, that that has started. Is this a change? Are you going to be sharing more intelligence with the European countries to try and get them to our way of thinking?
Rumsfeld: Any time you see roughly like-thinking people looking at the world differently you have to ask yourself, are they working off the same set of facts? In 1973 and 4 and 5, I started a series of intelligence briefings for NATO countries that began with the U.S. briefing and then migrated into a NATO-developed briefing on the subject. It was briefed in capitals across the entire North Atlantic Treaty Organization. I consider it very important and we are doing it now. We intend to brief this briefing in capitals. Lord Robertson is thinking about the possibility of developing a NATO briefing that's rooted in all of the countries' intelligence and thinking about having them then brief capitals. But there is no question but that if everyone has roughly the same understanding of the circumstance, reasonable people tend to find their way to roughly the same decision. So I think her point is a good one.
Q: Have you seen within the last several days any specific changes in the disposition of Indian or Pakistani military forces both conventional and nuclear? Have they come down in either of those in their level of readiness and alertness?
Rumsfeld: I'm probably you know 12 hours out of date, or 15 out of it.
Q: We'll take it.
Rumsfeld: I've got a bunch of cables to read up there and I'm going to be on the phone in a few minutes with CentCom, which keeps their eye on Pakistan --
Q: But you know there is this (inaudible) -- so what's the latest?
Rumsfeld: -- and I have not seen anything significant in terms of adjustments up or down on either side, and I guess that's current as of last night at about eleven o'clock.
Q: I've certainly heard you many times express great respect for the sovereignty of other nations. The Philippines is a sovereign state. But given the incredible level of military cooperation and the fact that these were American citizens, are you surprised you weren't alerted first? Do you wish you were alerted first?
Rumsfeld: All I said was, to my knowledge, I'm told by people at the Pentagon that to their knowledge that this was a Philippine operation. And that's understandable. In the United States we do operations; other countries don't come in and do operations in the United States. Also, as you recall, they have a constitution that to some extent prohibits foreign forces from operating in other than exercise or training modes, if I'm not mistaken. I don't know quite what the language is and there is some debate about it, so that is an aspect of it, I am sure.
Q: But don't you think you should have been consulted (inaudible) than participate?
Rumsfeld: Look, you know when something does not go perfectly there are always a lot of people who come along want to flash back and say this or say that. I'm not one of those people. I'm just not built that way. You can be darn sure the people trying to do it cared deeply and wanted to do it and wanted it to succeed fully.
You can also be sure if you look at the past hostage situations over the past two decades, that they tend to be situations where it is very, very fortunate that it works out very well, and in a number of cases it works out imperfectly. That's just the nature of it.
On the other hand, hostage takers ought not to be rewarded. It encourages them and makes them believe that that's a business they can engage in and either win political points or earn money. And the money then goes to other terrorist activities such as taking more hostages. We have hostages taken all the time. How many were there in Colombia just in the last 12 months? There have been others in the Philippines; there have been others in other countries. It is a world where people have decided that they can make money or make a political point by taking hostages. And I agree with the policy that says that we have to avoid rewarding hostage takers because that's the way to have more of it. We don't want more of it we want less of it.
Q: So go after them is what you're saying?
Rumsfeld: I tend to have that view.
Q: Sir, on India and Pakistan, as far as we know President Musharraf does not have final control over nuclear weapons and it's in the hands of the military. Is that something that concerns you?
Rumsfeld: I think you better check your facts.
Q: Does that mean he does actually have --?
Rumsfeld: I think you better check your facts. I think the premise of your question ought to be checked.
Q: Do you believe he has control over the nuclear arsenal?
Rumsfeld: I think, without revealing anything, I think intelligent people can make a reasonable assumption that leaders of countries with nuclear weapons are not inattentive to the management of those weapons.
Q: Have you spoken to any officials in India or Pakistan during this trip about the situation?
Rumsfeld: On the phone, no, I have not yet.
Thank you.

flintlonggone I agree. If a girl walking to school ends up with two guns pointed at her we need some extra good guys. Bring in the national guard indeed and whoever else will help. Those creeps stole her shoes. My gosh that is awful.
Oh and BPhammer I read your posts you are a rock star!
I remember back when McCree Bldg was a Montgomery Ward department store. Man I'm getting old!
Good for you Bettle! And even if "its only things" its YOUR things and no one has a right to steal them. LOL you should wait in the bait house for them. Get that show in production!
LMOA! thats a good one.
Thank you Kayla for reporting such a great story.
My heart goes out to this lady. Imagine living almost 100 years and then having to suffer this. I wonder if these crimes were happening in Bloomfield Hills or Manhattan what would be done? What would the Mayor say? Children cannot even walk to school without being robbed at gunpoint. Flint is, once again, one of the most violent and dangerous cities in our country. Its time for our officials to stop making excuses and protect people. Isn't it a basic human right to be safe from brazen criminals? Citizens of Flint are arming themselves and are put in the position to kill someone to protect themselves. The perpetrator of this crime is a soul-less slime bag! What on earth are we going to do? It seems so hopeless......
Rock on locojo! Better yet, let him live to be 91 years old, and THEN beat the crap out of him so he can know how it feels....
Good for you Born and Raised! Good luck in your new place....my husband is from England and when we are at our home here I am in culture shock as I am used to Murder City USA (Flint). I grew up in the North End and lived Downtown for years. I have never seen the City in the state its in before. Criminals are brazen and they keep upping the stakes....with the current leadership in City Hall there does not appear to be much hope. Sure hope you do well....
ALG I am so sorry this happened to your relative...my thoughts are with you...is she alright?
He (the shoplifter) is probably a nutter.
Here we go and its not even Summer yet....
Wow....does it appear to anyone else that the crime wave is steadily moving outwards from Flint? This is the second or third report closer to Flint Twp Miller Rd area.....so sad about that 91 yr old woman.
I wish people would realize the importance of spaying/neutering their pets. So many well meaning folks say "oh, its cruel not to let them have at least one litter." They of course don't realize that overpopulation is the main reason these animals must euthanized. So many animals have to be destroyed as they are unwanted.
The biggest problem with Comcast is the same problem with Consumers Energy; they have no real competitors in their arena of business. This is, of course, intended. You can't easily dismiss their services and use another company. They have you coming and going.
So this is the new thing for dirt bags.... work in pairs to approach and rob people walking. Excuses and bull crap coming from City Hall leaders. The crime in Flint is a public health hazard. If they can't protect their citizens they should admit they are stumped and bring in the National Guard or whatever needs to be done. I am staggered they continue to get away with this.
Hey was this Dayne Walling's house? Was it his little girl robbed by thugs walking to school? Oh, was it his 91 year old grandma that was home invaded? Would he make excuses or would he find some sort of action, any action, to protect them?
My God! This must be the new "job" in Flint. Don't go to work somewhere just stalk around any chosen neighborhood and rob people when they take out the trash or mow their lawn etc.
I voted for Dayne. I will be on the fence at this point. The real mistake he made was that he did not negotiate fruitfully with the Police and Fire Dept Unions. If you don't have the experience and diplomacy to do this, simply hire someone to handle the table negotiations who does. This crime wave started when he publicly tried to get into a pissing match with the Unions. He does not seem like a person who gets out of bed in the morning thinking "hey I want to be the Mayor of Murder City USA." But he has some work to do if he is re-elected and learn to ask for help if you need it. He needs to ask for help protecting Flint Citizens from crime. I might vote for him again but would like assurance he is going to address the public health hazard of crime. If citizens were dropping like flies from the flu, or some disease, he would call the CDC, well our crime wave is just a deadly and just as contagious.

I just got back from attending my first Houston Quilt Festival. I had a blast from start to finish and the show seemed to fly by. I just wanted to share some of my show highlights with all of you!
One of my favorite things was the graffiti wall in the Make It University!™ section. It was amazing to see the progress made throughout the show! This wouldn't have been possible without Ilovetocreate.com who sponsored the wall! At the beginning the wall was blank, and progress could be clearly seen every day!
One of my favorite parts of the wall was this amazing face drawn by our very own Muppin (aka Cheryl Sleboda)!
Another part of the show that I loved was seeing all of the kids, who are the next generation of quilting and mixed media artists, who were so excited to participate in all that the festival had to offer!
Artists came and shared their techniques with passerbys in the Open Studios section
We had a fun filled time on Saturday night with Surviving the Runway: Carmen Miranda style.
We even got a security gaurd to join in on the festivities!
Overall it was a great show filled with new techniques, fun, laughter, friends, and of course art!
Lindsey, I'm glad you had a great time at your first Houston Quilt Festival. I was great meeting you and participating with the workshops at Make It University. We loved the ATC trading wall and all the fabulous friends we have made at quilt festival. Look forward to seeing you next year.
It was so great having you be part of festival in Houston Lindsey! Looking forward to the next one.
It's always great to see you, and don't forget to look up Pee Wee's Big Adventure for that Tequila dance! :)

iCal: Print Active To Do Items
I am running Version 4.0 (1362) of iCal and would like to print only the active items of my To Do List. I can print the To Do by selecting File>Print>List and then limiting to the To Do, but it prints all items including those that have been marked as completed. This makes for a very long and unusable list.
Is there a way to filter the print to only print the items that are not complete?
Don't know, but are you given the choice of how many pages to print? Once you've done it, you'll have a pretty good idea of how many pages the active items fill. Then just print that many. Did you search iCal Help for a better answer than that?
Doesn't really work as it sorts by date and I don't see any way to change the way the print outs sort. Funny thing is that I just want to print a simple list of my To Do items - nothing fancy. I've searched the Help as well as posted to Apple's Support Community, but no one has answered.
Seems crazy that it's not possible to just print a simple list. Lots of Widgets that collate the info, but none that print. Also several nice expanded To Do programs from 3rd parties, but I don't want to pay $50 just to be able to print.
Thanks for your ideas...
Oh. I don't mark things as completed. (Since I've no use for that, I haven't even noticed that option!) If they're done, they're deleted. Those won't print. ;)
And Help says you can sort them (only) by due date, calendar, priority, or name.
So, how about pending ones being high priority, and when you mark one completed, also change it to low priority? Will that work?
This thread is a couple of months old, but if you haven't found a solution you could try the AppleScript at the following link:
It should let you select the calendars you want a list for, choose whether to include completed items or not, and outputs a simple HTML table that opens in TextEdit so you can print it.
I say 'should' because it works for me in 10.5.8, and I did some testing of it on a couple of 10.6.x machines, and it didn't seem to misbehave, but one never knows. :)

After hearing some of the services he provides—laser therapy, hormone replacement therapy, and stem cell therapy—one might be surprised to learn that Dr. David Bieber's patients aren't people. They're pets. Dr. Bieber has been researching the use of testosterone for restoring mobility in geriatric pups since 2008 and has developed an injection therapy known as Dogosterone. He and his team at Sheridan West Animal Clinic also care for furry friends with regular check-ups, vaccines, and complimentary scratches behind the ears.

Education is ALWAYS the answer. The more people are exposed to the extremely negative effects, the less likely they will experiment with the drug/chemical. Unfortunately, there are always people that are looking for escape from their problems. Even if we outlawed all drugs (including alcohol, nicotine, prescription drugs, etc) and made them impossible to obtain (which is of course impossible to do), those people searching to get high will experiment with other sources (ie: huffing/inhalants, which can be accomplished using numerous common household items ~ and is extremely dangerous!).
Bath salt users are either: 1.) unaware of the dangerous effects because they are totally ignorant of the information 2.) they are aware of what is being reported but don't believe it to be true (ie: they don't trust the sources), or 3.) they are aware and just don't care.
If they are unaware, then they need to be made aware (so society definitely needs to continue to educate everybody). If they don't believe, then they still need to be educated so they will understand and believe. If they fall into the "I know but don't care" category, then we will always be stuck dealing with these individuals and the havoc they often create for society, regardless of what form of escape they choose. BOTTOM LINE: The primary solution to the problems associated with drug and substance abuse is education!
Congratulations Matt! Best wishes on a long, successful career in baseball.

I was wondering who the winners are for the 3 sets of 4 tickets each to Joe's show (and who won the grand prize which included the meet~n~greet and signed guitar). Can't find that info anywhere on syracuse.com. Hopefully they actually did give them away.
Who are the winners of the Joe Bonamassa contest? I assume it's not me since I've heard nothing, but then again I've seen nothing about any winners so far.
I've heard a lot of things attributed to Ron Paul (both good and bad) by the media and individuals, but everything I've heard directly from Ron Paul (from videos of him talking as well as his written word) makes sense. I've seen many of his positions taken out of context to portray him as crazy. I originally believed he was a nut-job and ignored him (as it appears the media and political establishment wants us to do), but due to the incompetence of the rest of the fools paraded out by the Republican party over the last year, I finally decided to take my own look at what he stands for.
Instead of just passing on unfounded rumor, it'd be informative if everyone could post links to Ron Paul's actual words (whether written or recorded) so the real facts can be presented. It's too bad the media won't do their job, but maybe "we the people" can provide the facts for voters to see and make informed decisions. I already know what we'd get with Romney or Obama and don't like either choice. How about some real facts about Paul? If he is a nut let's find out and write him off, but if he's saying things that will help our country then let's find that out before it's too late and we're stuck with a president who will continue with the same failed policies (Romney and Obama).
Officiating was lousy but the worst examples happened early enough that S.U. could have overcome them. In the end the better team won. Too many missed shots, not enough rebounds, and poor games for several players were the difference in this game. Unfortunately we lost, but S.U. had a great season. I'm not going to hammer on the players. Everyone has an off-night. Ohio played better and won an exciting game.
To all the team: Thanks for the exciting season! Can't wait for next year.
Ronnie was an amazing guitarist! Saw him perform @ War Memorial in 1980 (Gamma opened up for ACDC & they stole the show imho), and again in Feb. 1981 @ Cayuga Community College (Gamma headlined). Was so looking forward to finally see him perform again after all these years. Was going to see him here @ the Westcott and also traveling to Pennsylvania to catch the show there. What a sad day! Rest in peace Ronnie!
My 1st concert. The highlight for me was "Starrider".
That U2 show was a great concert. I'd guess that there were less than 200 people there. I was only about 20 feet from the front of the stage, and there was nobody in front of me for at least 5 feet. I remember the stagehands freaking out when Bono climbed on top of the speaker stacks waving the white flag (they seemed to think he was going to fall and break his neck). Non-student tickets were only $8. A little less than they charge now. ;^p
Great show, but couldn't believe they didn't play my favorite song, their 1st hit, "Hold On". After all Malmsteen's crazy antics on guitar, it was nice to see Emmitt sitting on the stool and just playing great guitar.
BTW ~ this was not the correct date for the show. It was rescheduled for May 22nd.
Loudest concert I've ever been to. Iommi hit a note on his guitar that felt like someone drove a nail from one ear thru my brain and out the other ear. Vert painful. Otherwise a great show.
As I recall, Journey was supposed to have an opening act (I can't remember who, but I think it was a good band) that ended up not being able to open and Journey decided not to replace them. I figured that meant they would play longer, but they just did their normal set. A short concert overall.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this the tour where Joe Perry (guitarist) had left the band for his solo stuff?
Great idea putting this together! Never realized all the great shows I missed before I turned 16 and was allowed to go to concerts. I'm sure this was a lot of work to compile this list. I always wanted to try and find any newspaper reviews of the shows I saw way back when, but never found an easy way to do so.
Either way, thanks for all the info.
Those are some scary numbers. Where did you get your source? I'm very interested in what all those costs really are.
Congratulations Matt! Best wishes on a successful future!
Nice idea (free and all), but I'm bummed to hear this. I was hoping for the Gary Hoey Band as headliner this year. They tore the place up last year. MUCH better than Kenny Wayne Shepherd (who headlined). Hopefully SOMEBODY figures out a way to get them back to Syracuse. They were also amazing at the Inner Harbor 2 years ago. Keeping fingers crossed...
I'd have to go with seeing "Rat Race Choir"on November 18th, 1987. Yeah, I know that NOBODY knows who that was, but it was a group of "ok" musicians that did a couple bar gigs with John Entwistle (bassist from "The Who" for anybody who doesn't know who he is/was) back in '87.
Also saw "Steppenwolf" there (back in the 80's???) which was really great! If anybody knows the date (or even just the year) of that show I'd really appreciate knowing it too.

Within a small Massachusetts fishing village, three reunited friends struggle to find happiness in Tom O'Brien's new film "Fairhaven."
"Fairhaven" features O'Brien, who also wrote the film with co-star Chris Messina, as Jon, a former high school football star who, like his hero Tom Brady did in a real "60 Minutes" interview, questions whether he really can have it all in life. Jon openly grapples with the uneasiness this brings him and seeks understanding from others, from a meditation coach to a therapist. He is not alone in his search—Dave (Messina) feels similarly distraught and hides behind a façade of a carefree life. However, having to return to Fairhaven for his father's funeral forces Dave to realize that he cannot run away from his problems. Meanwhile, responsible, single father Sam (Rich Sommer) tries to move on from his ex-wife Kate (Sarah Paulson). As he takes back the part of himself he had lost in his love for Kate, Sam begins to find happiness again in who he is.
Sommer, best known for his portrayal of Harry Crane on "Mad Men," shared in an interview how the film's cast worked together to bring the screenplay to life as a sincere, relatable story.
The Harvard Crimson: You've had a diverse array of roles in your acting experience, most notably a part on "Mad Men." How does playing Sam compare?
Rich Sommer: It's frankly my favorite performance of mine. We were able to do with it what we wanted, and I was able to get out of Sam what I haven't been able to do with other characters. I portrayed him how I wanted to portray him.
THC: What was it like working with the other cast members of "Fairhaven"?
RS: We were kind of isolated in this very small town in the middle of winter. We luckily all hit it off so quickly; for a movie like this, it's imperative. I feel this is an intimate movie, and you can only get there if you are willing to be open with each other and trust each other.
THC: Jon seems to remain stuck on Tom Brady's question of whether there is more to life. What central questions does "Fairhaven" explore?
