High stakes soccer games normally come down to the ability to convert when a spontaneous offensive opportunity presents itself.
And the ability of the winning team to create more scoring opportunities.
Such was the case, on Tuesday, as OFA claimed a 2-0 Senior Day victory over Canton and the NAC Central Division Boys Soccer title.
A Senior Day win where senior Conor Hannan scored the first goal and set up classmate Rudy Binion for the second.
Also honored with their parents in a Senior Day ceremony were: Martin Arquitt, Pat LaComb, Mike Mallott, Jed McRoberts, Matt Piercey, Aaron Peo and Andrew Roddy.
I thought we played better today than the first time we played (1-1 tie) them, said OFA Coach Matt Morley after the 11-1-2 Devils lifted their division record to 9-0-2 (20 points) and opened a three-point lead over 8-2-1 (17 points) Canton heading into their regular season finale at Potsdam on Friday.
We won more balls in the midfield, created more scoring opportunities and our defense was excellent. Tristan Moore, DaKota Brady and Seth Pinkerton are all starting on defense for the first time this season and they just keep getting better.
Coach Morley felt that the advantage originated from a series of intense practices last week after he challenged his team to get better in the stretch run of the season.
The guys are really pushing each other in practice and that has definitely made us better, said Morley after his team gained an 11-6 shots-on-goal advantage and a 10-3 edge in corner kicks with nine in the first half playing with a stiff wind.
The eventual winning goal came with 14 minutes remaining in the first half and started with a corner kick by Peyton Lalone which created a scramble in front of Canton goalie Scott Wight. The scramble climaxed with Conor Hannan controlling a blocked clearing attempt, drilling a hard shot which Wight blocked and then one-timing the rebound over the prone keeper.
The ball just came to me from 18 and I shot for the far post. He made the save, the ball came back to me and I put it in, said Hannan who set up Rudy Binion for the second goal with 14 minutes left in the game.
The insurance tally also came off a set piece when defender Seth Pinkerton unfurled a long throw-in from the right sideline. Hannan controlled the ball, again shot for the far post and Binion slammed home a point blank drive after the shot deflected off a defender.
The ball hit a defender right in front of the net and went right to me, said Binion.
We played very well today and I definitely think the intense practices had a lot to do with it. We really got after it in practice and I loved it.
Jake Sias stopped six shots in posting his eight shutout of the season and Wight finished with nine stops for Canton.
Sias preserved the shutout with a pivotal save shortly before the first goal when he blocked a short range shot by Jacob Oatman set up by a Jake Facey corner kick.
Oatman returned the favor with a nice cross with one minute remaining in the half which Facey just missed with an attempt to steer it into an open corner of the net.
THROW-INS: OFAs defensive depth has been bolstered by the return of senior Aaron Peo who missed most of the season because of illness...Canton sweeper Evan Lapoint kept his team from going down 3-0 by heading the ball away the net after a shot was chipped over the goalie...OFA, which is ranked 20th in this weeks NYS Class B Poll, has clinched the number one seed for the Section 10 playoffs, OFA sophomore Peyton Lalone was involved in a series of first half threats.
Canton JVs 2 - OFA 0: The JV game was a reversal of the varsity contest the Bears scored a goal in each half.
We pressured them but we just didnt score. But it was a very good game, said OFA Coach Jim Howard.
Justin McCormick stopped 10 shots in the OFA goal supported by excellent defensive play by Will Kroeger, Dylan Jock and Matt Ramm according to Coach Howard who cited Ben Hammond, Max Ahrens, Matt Sholette and Connor Ward for midfield leadership. James Wing and Noah Moore were cited for play in the front line.
Potsdam 5, Salmon River 1: The Sandstoners (10-5, 7-4) received three goals from Ebuka Ononye. Ashler Herrick made three saves in the winning effort while Austin Leroux posted 16 stops for the Shamrocks (5-10, 3-8).
Massena 4, Malone 1: Jason Hammill scored one goal with one assist and Ryan Moffit scored twice as Massena won a preview of the Section 10 Class A Championship Game.Isai Paradones scored the for the Huskies.

NEWPORT–The North Country Falcons played a much improved a game against Colchester on Tuesday, compared to their last outing against Milton, but they ran into a tough Laker pitching staff, led by starter Devon Dessormeau, who limited the Falcons to just one run on one hit and a walk in Colchester's 9-1 win.
Colchester is now 8-2 while North Country is 0-9.
The boys travel to take on Mte. Abe today, where Bryce Carter will make his first varsity start for North Country.

It just seemed too good to be true.
Questioning the validity of the companys bid, the Watertown City Council tabled hiring a Bronx firm to handle security at Roswell P. Flower Memorial Library.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham and Councilwoman Roxanne M. Burns wondered why a security firm from the Bronx would be interested in providing security for the library here.
They also questioned how Denog Protective Security Services Inc., Bronx, could submit such a low bid of $15.35 per hour when Jess Security Services was the next closest with $19.83 and the highest was $30.62 by ICU Security and Private Investigations.
It just raises a red flag, Ms. Burns said.
City Purchasing Manager Amy M. Pastuf also wondered about the bid when she asked about whether the company would be able to hire security guards from so far away and the owner answered he would come up and do the work if he could not find anyone.
It didnt ring true, Ms. Burns said.
I can understand that, Ms. Pastuf said, adding her hands were tied because the firm was the lowest responsible bidder.
Ms. Burns expressed concern because the library has such a valuable collection of items other than books. She plans to do her own research about the company before council members vote on the bid.
In recent years, library officials have talked about increasing security at the Washington Street facility after having to deal with such major incidents as finding a loaded gun in a restroom, several drug deals, fights between patrons, a man selling urine from a dog for urine tests and numerous property thefts.
During this years budget process, council members agreed to pay for additional unarmed security, but not the 65 hours a week that library officials requested. They put $43,000 in the 2013-14 budget to pay for it.
In addition, the librarys board of trustees voted in May to appropriate $25,000 to pay for 10 more security cameras, a keypad lock and staff training.
In other action, the council hired Public Sector HR Consultants LLC to develop an employee handbook and supporting policies for the city. The Glenville firm would be paid $6,500 for the work. City Manager Sharon A. Addison mentioned the project during budget talks this year.
The council also authorized the sale of a variety of Public Works and Parks and Recreation department vehicles and equipment. Anyone interested can view them on Auctions Internationals website.

NEWPORT CITY – After decades, the youth baseball field at Gardner Park now has an official name. It has been informally known as the Cal Ripken Field.
The city council approved the request to name the field The Gary Rowe Youth Baseball Field. Rowe dedicated many hours to youth sports in the city and surrounding area. The council named the field three years to the day of Rowe's death.
A sign identifying the field will hang below the scoreboard. Jack Roberge, who represented the Newport Cal Ripken Baseball League, is providing the sign at no cost. Â

Shunya Ito's first entry in the Female Prisoner Scorpion series, Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion, was essentially a women-in-prison picture that combined the action, violence and titillation typical of that subgenre with a striking number of audacious artistic touches. Ito's second entry, Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41, was a whole other animal entirely. Emboldened, perhaps, by the success of the first film and the amount of creative leeway given him by Toei, Ito this time largely dispensed with genre trappings and delivered a film that was even more obviously the product of a singular directorial vision. Relentlessly bleak and harrowing, yet suffused with a desolate, breathtaking beauty and daring sense of visual invention, Jailhouse 41 is like a nightmare you don't want to wake up from.
Tag Archives: Shunya Ito
Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion
You might think that the women-in-prison genre is so rigid in its conventions that it wouldn't allow room for much experimentation, but leave it to the Japanese to prove that assumption wrong. The first three films in the Female Prisoner Scorpion series, all of which were directed by Shunya Ito, stand out for me as the pinnacle of artistically-rendered 1970s Japanese exploitation. Each film is stuffed full of surrealist imagery, imaginative compositions and breathtaking visual lyricism. Of course, being that they are women-in-prison films, they are also stuffed full of shower scenes, lesbianism and graphic violence. But, unlike the previously discussed Norifumi Suzuki, who was content to just let the sleazier elements of his movies sit uneasily alongside his occasional moments of cinematic inspiration, Ito somehow managed to make all of those elements blend together into a more or less cohesive whole.

Submission Portuguese Government Set on Increasing Use of Open Source->
jrepin writes: The government of Portugal wants to increase its use of open source ICT solutions and open ICT standards, aiming to rationalise its IT and reduce costs. A pilot by Portugal's General Inspection of Cultural Activities (IGAC) shows that a switch can cut IT costs by half (to 169,000 from 329,000 euro per year) and reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by 84 %, including an estimate of the cost of licences.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Planning for next month's presidential inauguration is in high gear.
But on Thursday a group of 5th graders took over the planning for the National Park Service.
Fifth graders from the Raymond Education Campus are pretending to plan the presidential inauguration.
They've been split into four committees... just like the real park service employees.
One had to deal with finances. One had to deal with ordering
supplies. One was about security and making sure the visitors and the
president were safe. And one was communication.
The catch: each committee had to approve its plans with the other teams.
But then, something happened.
They realized that before they could present their plan to the real
deputy supervisor, they'd have to compromise.
Live it Learn it is a non-profit organization here in Washington
DC that creates rigorous, academically focused field trips for
students with some of the highest needs .We want them to be able to see the different possibilities for their futures. We want are kids to have a spark of interest. We want to make sure that students are connecting with the real world.
In the end, plans were approved but there is one more thing.
Problem solved. They spent the afternoon building picnic tables
at the maintenence yard.
Today isn't just about hypotheticals, what ifs, when I grow
up. These benches are actually going to be used during the
presidential inauguration. What do you all think of that? Yay!!

When last we saw Wes Pennington and his North Smithfield football troupe, the Northmen were set to embark upon an unprecedented double bye that would encompass three whole weeks between games.
Such an extended furlough brings up the "rest vs. rust" conundrum that the Detroit Tigers had to wrestle with prior to getting ushered out of the World Series in sweeping fashion at the hands of the eventual champion San Francisco Giants. With that serving as the backdrop, how did Pennington and his assistant coaches navigate a tight rope that would strike a balance between down time and revving up to play meaningful football once again?
Come Friday night at Smithfield's Boyle Athletic Complex, break time is officially over when the extremely well-rested Northmen face the host Sentinels in a spicy Division IV matchup, one that figures to go a long way in solving the league's postseason riddle. North Smithfield stands at 3-2, a mark that would earn Pennington & Co. the three seed if the season ended today. Conversely, you have a 3-3 Smithfield squad that's presently residing on the outside of the playoff fence.
The buildup for tonight's clash has been such a long time coming for N.S. that it must be hard to believe that the day is actually at hand. The prolonged layoff, which officially commenced following a 57-8 demolition of the PCD Co-op juggernaut on Saturday, Oct. 13, gave way to a mixture of rest and practice along with taking care of business in the classroom.
During the two weeks in which the Northmen didn't have a game to prepare for, Pennington adhered to a two-off, three-on practice schedule. Players and coaches stayed apart on Mondays and Tuesdays before reconvening Wednesday through Friday. Naturally the head coach envisioned the week leading up to the Smithfield game as a full week of practice/preparation time, but that was before Hurricane Sandy threw a wrench into those calculated plans.
North Smithfield didn't have school Monday or Tuesday. In Pennington's eyes, the interruption was greeted with not a shred of panic, considering the players had become accustomed to having those days off anyways.
"We've been coming in on Wednesdays and having great practices," Pennington stated. "(The break) allowed us to make sure we were 100 percent ready to go once we kickoff Friday. We're a small team [numbers-wise] and a lot of guys play both ways, so it's tough when you're preparing week-in and week-out to spend time going over fundamentals. We were able to do that the first week before focusing on Smithfield the following week."
One player who figured to reap major benefits from "North Smithfield Idle" is Mike Cicerone. The junior made his first-ever varsity start at quarterback against PCD, a move that in turn allowed previous starter Dan Jordan to split to the outside and become more of a downfield threat. In addition, Cam Stone, the team's rock-steady kicker, has emerged as another pass-catching option whose speed gives meaning to the gridiron catchphrase "take the top off the defense."
The impetus for making a switch at QB came after North Smithfield's 20-10 setback to defending Super Bowl champ Mount Pleasant the week prior to the PCD game. Pennington had noticed that the Kilties were concentrating extra hard to negate the Northmen's running attack to the point that eight or nine defenders would line up in the box. The aerial component was in danger of becoming lost in the wash, hence why Pennington was more than ready to move a few pieces around the board and come up with a concoction that would allow North Smithfield to emerge from the one-dimensional perception that Mount Pleasant undoubtedly had.
"After the (Mount Pleasant game), I realized we needed more speed on the edges, which we do now with Dan and Cam along with Justin York and Peter Keenan. Those are four viable guys going down the field to catch balls," said Pennington. "Mike did such a great job (against PCD) that I'm hoping he can carry the load the rest of the way."
The newfangled Northmen could also feature a player or two moving forward that wasn't on the coaching staff's radar at the season's onset. Pennington acknowledged their emergence stems directly from the countless run of first- vs. second-team scrimmages that helped replicate game-esque conditions during the gap between actual contests.
"At the beginning of the season, usually your first team is way ahead of your second team. As the season goes on, (the backups) are able to better challenge (the incumbents)," Pennington noted. "Now our second team is actually rising up and challenging the first team, which in turn is making them work harder. We have some solid juniors and sophomores who now understand what's going on and are able to push our starters."
Having consecutive weekends off presented Pennington a prime chance to scout Smithfield in a leave-no-stone-unturned manner. The problem is that during the two weeks he saw Smithfield in person, the Sentinels delivered two completely different results. Smithfield was blasted by Mount Pleasant, 35-6, two Fridays ago while last Saturday saw previously winless PCD spring a 36-29 surprise on the Sentinels.
"I'm not sure who Smithfield is; I've seen them play well against some teams and I saw them (against the Kilties)," was the assessment Pennington offered when asked about the recent perplexing nature of the Northmen's opponent. "It doesn't take away from our preparation, however."
Football coaches usually refrain from taking a bigger picture look, instead adhering to a week-to-week approach that helps keep all parties grounded and focused on the immediate task. That said, Pennington understands that in the context of tiebreakers, Friday's outcome will allow one team to head down the home stretch feeling mighty confident about the prospect of playing the Tuesday following Thanksgiving.
"In terms of playoffs and seeding, this is a huge game," said Pennington matter-of-factly. "It's not a matter of what Smithfield has done the last few weeks. It's realizing that they're on the hot seat just like us and playing for a playoff spot."
This weekend signals the end of the regular season in Division II, where the only set-in-stone items are the division winners; Cumberland on the II-B side and Johnston in II-A.
Fittingly, the race for playoff spots 2-4 in each sub-division remains up for grabs, and with it the opportunity for one team in each bracket to join the Clippers and Panthers in hosting a quarterfinal-round contest next weekend. St. Raphael is in the discussion to accomplish just that in II-B while Woonsocket finds itself in the mix in II-A.
The Saints and Villa Novans will carry 4-2 records into their respective Saturday afternoon tilts; SRA hosts winless Pilgrim at 4 p.m. at Pariseau Field while Woonsocket welcomes 2-4 Coventry to Barry Field for a 1:30 start. Each aforementioned squad finds itself in a three-way tie for second place, meaning we could be using tiebreaking terminology such as "head-to-head meetings" and "defensive points allowed" in order to separate the crowded pack.
Woonsocket shares the same record as Mount Hope and Westerly; the Novans beat the Bulldogs, but fell to the Huskies. St. Raphael is equal to Rogers and West Warwick with the Saints posting a 1-1 mark against said foes.
Speaking of West Warwick, the Wizards host a Cumberland team on Saturday that has absolutely nothing left to play for in the regular season, meaning it should be interesting to see how Clippers head coach Chris Skurka approaches the task at hand.
As for other clashes this weekend: In Division I, Tolman (2-5) welcomes 0-6 South Kingstown for a Saturday 3 p.m. contest at Max Read Field. The game was originally slated for Friday at Pariseau Field but was pushed back a day in order to give the Rebels additional time to regroup following the hurricane.
One week after garnering its first league win, East Providence (1-4) aims to slow down 4-2 and playoff-bound Portsmouth Friday at Pierce Field.
In Division II-B, Shea will attempt to put an end to its three-game losing streak against league opponents Saturday night at 6 o'clock when 1-5 North Kingstown treks to Max Read Field. The Raiders are 2-4.
In Division III, Burrillville hopes to build off its first league triumph when the Broncos (1-4) venture to Providence's East Side for a matchup against 4-2 Moses Brown on Saturday. At 0-6 in league play and 0-7 overall, Lincoln seeks to break into the win column when 2-4 Classical pays a visit to Ferguson Field on Friday.
Finally, in Division IV, Central Falls (2-4) will be put to the test when 6-0 Mount Pleasant stops by Macomber Stadium Friday.

Wow, after reading about all the losers who get stupid crap tattooed on them I really had to write in. I really shouldn't say that, though, because I have a few tattoos on me that aren't the most original or meaningful, but I've progressed.
OK- I have a total of 5 tattoos. I will recount the stories of them.
When I was younger I never, ever, thought that I would get a tattoo. I thought they were dumb, and only for people who were on a lower level than myself. Then I went to college. After attending the University of Wisconsin Madison for a semester, I wanted a tattoo. Probably to fit in, or feel different. Not really any deep spiritual meaning or needing. I thought for a few months about what I wanted, and came to a decision. I wanted a Phoenix with the word "Invictus" under it. Invictus is Latin for unconquerable. My wife, girlfriend at the time, had gone to a shop that she said was good. The Blue Lotus is very professional and hospital level clean. I went in and the artist who my wife was tattooed by wasn't there, but I wanted this tattoo today, so I settled for one of the other artists. He told me he couldn't do the phoenix design I had wanted the size I wanted, so I decided to just go with the lettering. The stencil went on my right shoulder and the process began. About ten minutes later it was over. I had my very first tattoo, small as it may be. I paid the man $50, and was on my merry way. I took immaculate care of it, washing and putting lotion on it.
Now, tattooing had me. I was content with what I had, but I really wanted the phoenix. So about six or seven months later I decided to go in and get it. This time bigger and on my back centered between my shoulder blades. This time I did get the artist my wife had gone to. Rich, is great. Very good attitude and very willing to work with you to get what you want. I only wanted to spend $200 so he sized it accordingly. Later I found out that he made it bigger so that it would look better on my back. This is a true mark of an artist and not a businessman. He was willing to take a hit in his pocket just to make sure that it would look better. This tattoo was considerably more painful than my last ten-minute experience. I took about 2.5 hours. The spine and either side of the spine in the soft tissue are very painful areas. We finished and it looked great. I shook Rich's hand and knew I would be back.
My next tattoo was a tribal piece. Yes, I like almost every other tattooed human on the planet has a tribal piece. It covered my left shoulder with broad sweeping lines. It was a much more pleasant spot to be tattooed than my back. I really have no good reason for getting this tattoo other than the fact that I liked the way it looked and I wanted to get another tattoo. It cost me $150, and Rich was now my official tattoo artist.
My next tattoo was born of loss and grief. When my grandfather died, I wanted something to remember him and my grandmother who had passed a year before. I told Rich my idea, an angel with wings spread and hands out, standing on a block with my last name and the dates they died. We spent a few hours drawing it up and tweaking it to my satisfaction. It was BIG, about 13 inches tall, six inches across and it was going right below my phoenix. I wasn't looking forward to another back tattoo, but I was determined to create a lasting memorial to my grandparents. It took about 2 hours and 15 minutes. It was very, very painful. I think your frame of mind has a great deal to do with the amount of pain you feel. I was still upset about my grandparents, and the lower back is even worse than the upper. I have the utmost respect for girls who get tattoos on their lower back. It isn't a walk in the park. By the end I was almost in tears, but then Rich said he was done. I was g! lad, and was ecstatic when I looked in the mirror. It was amazing. Rich was very pleased with how it came out as well.
So after a rather painful experience I took a bit of a break from getting tattooed, but sooner or latter that tattoo bug bites you again. Now I was getting serious about tattooing, so I wanted a back piece. A back piece is a full back tattoo. I had an idea of what I wanted and how to incorporate the phoenix and the angel into one big piece, so I sat down with Rich. We spent a couple hours one day and the a couple the next and came up with a really cool idea. It already looked like the phoenix was rising out of the angel, so we decided to have a run down, burning city scene down by the angel, and a blast wave of light and color all around the phoenix. A banner over the top with the last two lines of the poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley would frame everything up. "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."
All told I think we spent a total of 25 hours on my back broken up in two or three hour sessions. As far as the pain issue goes, it increases as you go towards the center and down on the back. Also when I became engaged to my wife, half way through the back piece, we got matching tattoos. The phrase "love conquers all" in Latin was tattooed on our left arms right above the shirt line.
This brings us to my current project. I love tattoos, and I hated that no one could see mine. I had a f***ing back piece and no one in my Mechanical Engineering classes could see it. No one on the street knew how important tattooing was to me. So I mad a huge decision, I was going to get a sleeve. (A tattoo piece that covers an entire arm, cuff to shoulder.) I chose my right arm since only lonely Invictus was scrawled on the top of my shoulder. The idea for the tattoo came from the Herbert Draper painting, The Lament for Icarus. Rich made a few changes to it, and we began. The arm is so much less painful than the back. These sessions are much easier than my back piece sessions. So, I'm about 17 hours into my sleeve, and have about 13 more to go.
Here is a summary of what I have learned in my tattooing experiences:
1. Bigger is better. They are not just trying to make more money off of you. The parts of your body are bigger than you think, and putting a one inch by one inch tattoo in the middle of a sea of skin isn't going to look as good as a nice big image that fills up the space. Also, the artist will be able to add more detail to a large tattoo.
2. It will cost you some money. I've spent thousands on my tattoos, but in the long run, they are cheaper than anything else you'll buy. They last forever!
3. Odds are you'll want to get another after you're first. I don't know why, but everyone I've ever talked to says that tattoos are addicting.
4. DON'T GET FLASH. Think of something original and your own. Have a general idea and then have your artist design something for you. They will appreciate it, and then you'll have something no one in the world has. Make your tattoo have some sort of meaning, not just "I want that one"
5. All the other crap everyone else always says: research your artist, make sure they are sterile, blah blah, after-care, blah blah blah.
So there you have it, a tattoo addicts confession. I hope you have a good experience with tattoos, and I hope you come to love and respect them as much as I do.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Many people know health care costs seem to be going through the roof, and there is a lot of blame that is passed around for the trend. Some say it is doctors, some pharmaceutical manufacturers and some say it is the hospitals themselves.
And finally many blame insurance companies and the government along with them.
The equality of costs between areas and services have also been questioned nationally and locally. But when the Federal Database of National Healthcare costs was released last Wednesday concerning the charges that hospitals put on customers for many standard procedures, there were some good surprises and some bad ones.
Nationally and along the Wasatch Front between charging health care institutions there were some real discrepancies. In some cases one procedure at one hospital might cost thousands of dollars more than it does at a medical facility only a few miles away.
But locally, when Castleview Hospital is compared to hospitals along the Wasatch Front, their prices were not much out of line, in fact in some cases their charges were lower.
"We are committed to doing all we can to serve the healthcare needs of our community by providing high quality care in the most cost-effective manner," stated Mark Holyoak the CEO of Castleview Hospital. "At Castleview Hospital we support transparency efforts to make information, including pricing information, available to consumers."
The general report covered 100 procedures that are performed in metropolitan hospitals. Consequently Castleview did not figure into all 100, but did match up with 12 of the procedures that it had in common to the Wasatch Front hospitals.
Nationally it appears to some that often patients who don't have health insurance may end up paying much more than they have to when there are more inexpensive options in a local area. The released information could give insurance companies and others the leverage they need to broker deals with hospitals that are nearby to each other yet charge very different prices for services. Medicare and Medicaid also figure into the picture as well.
"It is important to point out that the information regarding charges does not reflect what our hospital is paid by Medicare or other payers. Medicare and Medicaid pay less than the cost of caring for patients," stated Holyoak.
The report revealed two figures. One figure is the figure that hospitals say they would charge for a procedure, and the other the actual average settlements they get for those services.
The case of charity care and non-paid care is a large issue in the health care industry, especially when it comes to hospital stays. Holyoak stated that charity care is a big piece of what the hospital adds to the community, with over $2 million a year in services written off to charity and uncompensated care.
"The hospital bears the burden of these costs," stated the CEO. "This is part of our mission. In addition to charity care, our hospital offers flexibility for patients who do not have health insurance and who are unable to pay the full cost of care."
The Sun Advocate took the information from the report and compared the procedures that are done at Castleview that were reviewed in the report and placed them along side charges for the same procedures at Mountain View Hospital in Payson, the Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, the Intermountain Medical Center (IHC) in Murray and a sister hospital to Castleview in the Uintah Basin, the Ashley Valley Medical Center.
In most cases Castleview is comparable to the Wasatch Front Hospitals. Some final figures are a little higher, while others are a little lower. There were also a number of procedures that Castleview performs that were not reflected in the other hospitals operations, particularly in comparison with the Ashley Valley Medical Center.
For instance in the case of septicemia or severe sepsis without mechanical ventilation (MV) for 96 hours with major complication/cormorbidity (which reflects the highest level of severity) Castleview's claimed charges were $20,561 while when all was said and done they accepted an average payment of $8,272. At the Utah Valley Hospital the claimed charges were $34,603 while accepting $12,880. Mountain View Hospital claimed charges of $33, 418, accepting $11,149. With Intermountain Medical Center the charges were $32,082 with them accepting $13,181. In the case of this procedure/hospitalization, Castleview's charges were below every other hospital it was compared to.
That is not the case with every procedure, but overall it appears the local Carbon County hospital is not out of line with what hospitals that local residents might go to, charge for their procedures.
"The CMS data does not show a complete picture of our hospital's costs or the factors that drive costs, such as severity of cases, lengths of stay and the amount of charity care and uncompensated care we provide," stated Holyoak.
In one case the local hospital seems to be higher than the others; that of major joint replacement. Holyoak felt that was due to the extreme care that doctors at Castleview take when caring for patients with these kinds of procedures.
"Charges for surgical procedures are all based on minutes in surgery," he stated. "Our orthopedic surgeons are very quality driven and meticulous with their surgical skills. Because of this, the surgeries often may take longer than they would elsewhere. Although this could increase the charges, I know that the outcome for the patient will be a quality outcome because of the attention to detail by these surgeons."
The chart on this page provides all the comparisons that were possible for Castleview from the CMS report. For more information about the Medicare program, and data about its payments and charges the Utah Hospital Association has more information.

Coquille family become 'Healing Helpers' through crisis
COQUILLE, Ore. -- A family in Coquille has turned an unfortunate situation into a positive impact on children all around the world.
Lani-Lee and Michael Almich's daughter Annabelle was born with a congenital heart defect.
Michael says that when they found out, the problem seemed overwhelming. "The doctors just kept listing off all these things that were wrong with her heart," Michael said. "There were like 8 things they listed off, and I can just remember going into another room and just thinking, 'Man, she's gonna die, she's not gonna make it.'"
Despite it all, Annabelle made it.
She had two open heart surgeries by the time she turned 1-year-old.
Lani-Lee told KCBY News that she wanted to do something to help her daughter when she got older. "I wanted to give her something that she could hold on to, and kind of understand why she had these scars down her chest," she said.
So, the Almich family created 'Healing Helpers.'
The concept is simple: stuffed animals that will help sick kids get through surgery.
"She loves it," said Lani-Lee. "She takes it to all her doctor's appointments. It gets pokes before she gets pokes, it gets band aids. It has made such a huge difference."
The Almich family has a patent pending on the little guys, and they've sent about 350 all over the world.
Michael told KCBY News he never thought it would become something so big. "If you had asked me nine months ago, I would have said, "Yea, we'll make a couple and we'll just do this for friends," but it's been awesome," he said. "I never even imagined it would go this far."
Annabelle has one more surgery to go.
There's no doubt her healing helper, 'Abby,' will be right by her side.
Do you know someone with a small child facing surgery? You can get more information about Healing Helpers at their Web site.

Michael Sorg, head of new media at neckermann.de GmbH is responsible for the e-, m- and t-commerce activities (electronic commerce, mobile commerce, tv shopping) of the company. Prior to joining neckermann.de Michael Sorg worked at Hewlett-Packard. Before becoming head of media at neckermann.de he held positions in marketing, direct marketing, sales and IT. In 1998 he established the New Media department at neckermann.de.
Q: Good morning Mr. Sorg, and thank you for taking the time to answer our questions today. neckermann.de decided to use open source software several years ago. Regarding your IT systems, what's most important for your business?
A: For our daily business we need failsafe, scalable, flexible and high-performance systems. In addition it is important for us that the components are cost-effective and secure.
Q: Could you please give some background information about neckermann.de for our readers?
A: With revenue of 1.3 billion Euro neckermann.de GmbH is one of the largest mail order companies in Europe. www.neckermann.de allows customers to choose from an assortment of 250,000 products. neckermann.de generates about 50% of its company revenue through the online-shop.
Q: When did you start exploring open source solutions and why?
A: neckermann.de began to focus on open source software around the time when e-commerce first started to evolve. It was back in 1995 when the first shopping sites went live. At that time the main reasons to consider open source were low costs and fast development cycles which resulted in faster innovation. neckermann.de constantly wins awards for its innovative strength. Among them are "Best Online Shop" (2003 and 2004), most popular shopping site 2005 and the "Konzept-Award" for the first dialogoriented search engine www.n-express.de (2006). In May 2007 neckermann.de also received the intermedia-globe Silver Award and the award "most customer oriented service provider of Germany 2007".
Q: Did you yourself or others in your department express any concerns against the use of open source software?
A: No, we had a many years of experience with open source software. But of course we first completed extensive tests and started with open source in less-critical areas. Based on excellent results there, we then continued to roll-out open source based solutions also for core, mission-critical applications. In addition, we backed our use of open source with support contracts from vendors such as MySQL AB.
Q: What are the key advantages of open source software and of MySQL for you?
A: We can save a lot of money, it helps us be more flexible and agile, and it prevents us from vendor lock-in. And, our innovation continues to accelerate.
Q: There are thousands of open source projects out there in various stages of development. How would a CIO know which ones to select?
A: It is very important to pay attention to the strength of the community, to look at the number of installations, the activity on the mailing lists, etc. A healthy and active community helps guarantee a more reliable and a faster evolving product.
Q: So, do you believe that open source at some point will replace proprietary software altogether?
A: No, there will be a more integrated and complementary co-existence.
Q: Despite the advantages you describe, the acceptance of open source seems to be slower in some regions and vertical industries than in others. What do you attribute this to?
A: In some areas open source is still not fully accepted yet. Some supervising committees are not fully convinced about open source yet. They tend to be conservative organizations that keep using the legacy proprietary technologies instead of innovating with open source solutions.
Q: So what's your advice to a CIO who is curious but still hesitant about using open source software and MySQL?
A: Again I simply just refer to the advantages of open source. We have been able to build a high-performance database system based on MySQL in a very short timeframe that fully meets our very demanding requirements.

God, it was so awful. And right before Christmas made it even worse. Can you imagine the parents who now have to either return or pass on the gifts they bought for their children? I ache so for them all.Why do we have these incidents? I know other countries have had them, but nowhere near the number we have. I thought at first the blame was all on guns, but now I think an even more important part of the equation is the lack of mental health care. Look at health insurance policies. My policy, through work, provides for only 3 visits a year. On a personal note, I've been in counseling for almost two years now; the first year-and-a-half it was weekly; I'm now able to go every two weeks instead; but I STILL have things I'm working through! My church helped me with the cost until I got another job, and I've been paying out of pocket since. Insurance coverage is a joke. 3 visits a year would do nothing for any serious problem.I don't know what the answer is. I'm just so weary of seeing these horrific and UNNECESSARY tragedies played out over and over and over. No child should have to die at school like that! No one should have to be afraid of going to school, or going shopping, or going to a movie. What has happened to our society?
"As per Tony Beasley's comments up thread, mass murders dropped to zero after the Port Arthur Massacre and the tightening of gun laws. "Not zero.The Monash University shooting cause more gun control measures to be enacted making handguns have to be made larger to make them harder to conceal."Two people died in this incident in 2002. Is this a mass murder via guns ? Want constitutes a mass murder ? Semantics, from my point of view any deaths are tragic so you are correct David.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childers_Palace_FireWith respect to this mass killing, your point is that in absence of firearms an enterprising psychopath will find a way. Perhaps. However I am glad that as a nation we have worked to restrict the option of firearms as a method for mass murder.

Miguel,I'm happy I made you smile, and I'm quite aware that you are an American. I did not say you are full of BS, but rather your statement that "Americans who've never experienced living in that kind of society, both pro and against, are purely conjecture." was BS. Both the pro and anti sides can point to gun laws outside the US to make their point (quite well informed views), often supported by detailed stats.As an outsider (non-American) looking at this discussion, I would agree with you that the discussion was being polarized between the pro and anti gun factions. The irony is I don't even see this as a 'gun issue' but rather a 'societal issue'. The mass shootings in the US, and to some extent, Canada, UK and Europe are a symptom of a problem (if one even exists) rather than the problem itself.I would compare it to a natural disaster like a hurricane or tornado. There is loss of life, you greave, but with a natural disaster, there is no immediate reaction to do something so you move on. Even if that something has no bearing the cause of the disaster (a good portion of this discussion on the thread). However, if you notice that the rate of these disasters is increasing, you might come to the realization that there is a fundamental problem (climate change for example) that you might be able to influence if you take the time to understand the problem.I see these mass shootings as a societal natural disaster. There is no quick solution, whether it is banning assault rifles (anti-gun stance) or turning your schools into armed camps (pro-gun) that will prevent these relatively isolated events. However, as a society, if you see the rate of these disasters increasing, there might be an underling problem that might need to be addressed. This might mean universal health care (like Canada and Europe) to address mental health issues; it might be better support in local communities for single parents; addressing how the media contribute to these events, or a hundred other causes that you might find if you really dig into the problem. While the discussion is focused on 'guns', prayer in classrooms (that one made me laugh), or arming your teachers, the problem will not be solved.
"The Monash University shooting cause more gun control measures to be enacted making handguns have to be made larger to make them harder to conceal."Handguns have always been very strongly controlled in Australia - I'm not aware of any size restrictions.
I did not say you are full of BS, but rather your statement that "Americans who've never experienced living in that kind of society, both pro and against, are purely conjecture." was BS. Both the pro and anti sides can point to gun laws outside the US to make their point (quite well informed views), often supported by detailed stats.Right. But looking up statistics and trying to convince others with them is also not how the problem will be solved, no matter how informed. You can't know what is going to happen until you actually go ahead and try something. It's the same as taking statistics for how many car accidents occur and using that to determine whether or not you ought to go and drive your car.While the discussion is focused on 'guns', prayer in classrooms (that one made me laugh), or arming your teachers, the problem will not be solved.That is exactly my earlier point. From the start I have attempted to talk about the way people talk about the issues, not about the guns themselves. I see the main problem as both a misinterpretation and self-deception surrounding the perception of the issue. As long as the perception and way of communicating don't change, the solution to the problem will never be clear.

Michael L.I also noticed that no one acknowledged your Harvard study. I personally thought it was very comprehensive and the results spoke for themselves. However it doesn't support the gun control groups message.They also ignore all the FBI statistics that should the 20 year drop in violent crimes and hand gun deaths. These numbers have even dropped since the AR ban was lifted in 2004. Does this have anything to do with gun ownership, probably not. My guess is stronger sentencing of criminals, better law enforcement, systems that track things better, home security systems, etc.Do we need to improve the process? Sure. Many options have been discussed. Do we need to ban all guns, absolutely not.
Overall, the crime rate in the U.S. was the same in 2009 as in 1968, with the homicide rate being roughly the same as in 1964. Violent crime overall, however, is still at the same level as in 1973, despite having decreased steadily since 1991.[12]Bureau of Justice StatisticsThis implies that the rate on a per capita basis has fallen but on an absolute level hasn't changed since 1973. This was posted pages ago but quickly ignored by the gun owners.
""They want to effectively remove the ability for citizens to protect themselves."This is coming from someone who owns 20 guns. You are delusional by ignoring the root cause of why you need to defend yourself against the apparent zombies running amuck. Honest to God, you represent part of the problem to which there is no solution. Fire away."You are an idiot.We have crime and criminals, not zombies.People are robbed, beaten, raped, stabbed every day in their homesMost violent crimes dont involve a gunRemoving guns, doesnt stop crime. It does remove the ability of citizens to protect themselves at minimal risk.If you dont like guns, great. Live somewhere they arent allowed and be happy there.It is no coincidence that crime correllates significantly with areas that vote democratic. Figure out the reasons for yourself. Liberals are too tolerant and expect too much from the government.

"I also noticed that no one acknowledged your Harvard study."That's not really unusual in these forums. No one acknowledged my American Journal of Public Health study either, which concluded: "On average, guns did not protect those who possessed them from being shot in an assault. Although successful defensive gun uses occur each year, the probability of success may be low for civilian gun users in urban areas. Such users should reconsider their possession of guns or, at least, understand that regular possession necessitates careful safety countermeasures."In the end, I think we know that the vast majority of people are going to trust a study whose conclusion aligns to what they already have a propensity to believe, and find fault with a study whose conclusion goes against what they already have a propensity to believe, especially when the studies are on a wildly contentious issue.

So when are you bringing religion into the discussion?In 2010, according to the UNODC, 67.5% of all homicides in the United States were perpetrated using a firearm, so in fact, YES most violent crimes do involve the use of a gun.The only idiot here is the one who owns over 20 guns for the reasons you mention. You posted previously that it is all about protecting yourself using the same force that would be used against you. Are you expecting a mob of at least 20 gun toting criminals at your door or would one hand gun do the job?This is where the argument for protection fails. How much weaponry do you need to BE protected versus FEEL protected?As far as moving, it would seem that you may want to take your own advice. Sounds like your local streets are crime ridden cesspools. Where is Robo Cop when you need him?
Its looking more and more like the solution to our gun problem will be to do nothing.I don't think anyone is proposing to ban all guns, Brad. Not even me. I used to own a shotgun, and I really didn't see a problem with it, other than the fact that those doves had an uncanny ability to dodge my shot. I did get rid of it, though, when I had my first son. I have not discouraged them from learning to shoot a shotgun or rifle. I just thought, and still think, that we were better off with no guns in the house with curious boys running around.I think action on handguns makes more sense than long guns. A lot of people have made good arguments on gun control not having a short term effect because there are already so many weapons out there. I kind of agree with that. I think its more of a long term solution. IMO, handgun control will, over time, change people's perceptions regarding them, which is what I think is really needed to make things better. I think a good argument can be made that other first world countries have such better gun homicide rates than us because of differing perceptions of gun use. Changing those perceptions will take time. Looking at the numbers, its hard to believe there is no correlation between gun control and gun homicide rates among first world countries. Maybe my kids will see some benefit from changes.
My favorite article on the American Journal of Public Health gun study - http://www.forbes.com/sites/modeledbehavior/2012/12/20/a-useless-study-on-gun-possession/. I'm not sure I've ever seen a study whose finding endorsed gun control, where the methodology wasn't skewed to force a bias towards gun control. Kleck couldn't do it, and he was a liberal, Democrat card-carrying ACLU member. But at least he was intellectually honest enough to admit his findings.It's a shame this won't do anything to change how we deal with the mentally ill, or the desenitizing effect of violent video games, etc. 20 guns? Piker.
I just saw the NRA has taken a new, important stand: We need more guns in the schools.And Joe, you can pry my game controller from my cold, dead hands. :)
Ben C.You just completely miss quoted what the NRA said. I'm not an NRA member and have no intentions of becoming one. Below are some quotes from MSNBC (very liberal site):"With all the money in the federal budget can't we afford to put a police officer in every single school?"""And he noted that there are millions of active and retired police officers, military veterans, and private security guards – "an extraordinary corps of patriotic, trained, qualified citizens" – who should devise a protection plan for every school.""He criticized Congress for not creating a national database of the mentally ill and called for increased federal prosecution of those who illegally possess guns."My county has resource officers in all the schools and yes they are armed. I went to my son's elementary school Christmas party yesterday and the resource officer (county deputy) was walking the halls. His quote was put a "POLICE OFFICER" in every school, not put more guns in schools. Come on Ben. If you don't like the suggestion, then at least say I don't think we need an armed Police Officer in schools. For all I know the NRA believes all the teachers, staff, etc should pack a gun, but that's not what he said.He also suggested that maybe a group of qualified law enforcement, military and security experts would be a good resource for helping develop a plan for better securing our schools. I personally think they would do a better job than a bunch of politicians and school administrators.
Brad, I was trying a little bit of humor along with a little of the truth. That's why I didn't use quotes around it. I truly just saw the headline. It translated about as well as sarcasm usually does on here. I should have know better than to try to inject a little levity on a gun control thread without being a little more obvious. I just thought is was funny that anyone thought the NRA was going to budge a bit on gun control issues. To be fair, they do want more guns in the schools so long as they are in the hands of authorities. I'm pretty sure my principal would have shot at me once or twice in 9th grade if he had a gun back then.

Ben,And I hope you know that I was harassing you some.... I was giving you the Keyshaun Johnson "Come on man". If you haven't seen him do it on the NFL pregame shows then you are probably lost.We all know what lobbyist agendas are on both sides of every political issue.... Unfortunately
Football. Unlike you guys, we live in a basketball state. Getting better at obvious humor?
Police in the schools, police in the malls, police in the theatres. Funny how the freedom to bear arms is looking more and more like the freedom to live in a police state.
I think ALL Americans of all colours, ages and creeds, should be forced to carry sub-machine guns around all day. Eventually they would all kill each other and then the country could be invaded (again), this time by some people who are SANE, and the country could start fresh. NEWSTART.I was thinking of applying for a professorship in a US university, but when I read about armed invader drills, I realised I didn't want to normalize myself to this kind of mad behaviour.If it wasn't so tragic, it would be ridiculous. Somebody needs to step up and objectively re-evaluate this learned behaviour, and change it for the good of everyone. It IS learned behaviour, and therefore, can be unlearned.

|Summary: The Exim Mail Transfer Agent, a Replacement for sendmail
Exim is a mail transport agent (MTA) developed at the University of Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the Internet. It is freely available under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence. In style, it is similar to Smail 3, but its facilities are more extensive. In particular, it has options for verifying incoming sender and recipient addresses, for refusing mail from specified hosts, networks, or senders, and for controlling mail relaying.
* Thu Oct 25 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - update to 4.80.1 - SECURITY: protect DKIM DNS decoding from remote exploit; CVE-2012-5671; (bnc#786652). * Sun Aug 19 2012 email@example.com - update to 4.80 - Bugzilla 949 - Documentation tweak. - Bugzilla 1093 - eximstats DATA reject detection regexps improved. - Bugzilla 1169 - primary_hostname spelling was incorrect in docs. - Implemented gsasl authenticator. - Implemented heimdal_gssapi authenticator with "server_keytab" option. - Local/Makefile support for (AUTH|LOOKUP)_*_PC=foo to use `pkg-config foo` for cflags/libs. - Swapped $auth1/$auth2 for gsasl GSSAPI mechanism, to be more consistent with rest of GSASL and with heimdal_gssapi. - Local/Makefile support for USE_(GNUTLS|OPENSSL)_PC=foo to use `pkg-config foo` for cflags/libs for the TLS implementation. - New expansion variable $tls_bits; Cyrus SASL server connection properties get this fed in as external SSF. A number of robustness and debugging improvements to the cyrus_sasl authenticator. - cyrus_sasl server now expands the server_realm option. - Bugzilla 1214 - Log authentication information in reject log. - Added dbmjz lookup type. - Let heimdal_gssapi authenticator take a SASL message without an authzid. - MAIL args handles TAB as well as SP, for better interop with non-compliant senders. - Bugzilla 1237 - fix cases where printf format usage not indicated. - tls_peerdn now print-escaped for spool files. Observed some $tls_peerdn in wild which contained \n, which resulted in spool file corruption. - TLS fixes for OpenSSL: support TLS 1.1 & 1.2; new "openssl_options" values; set SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY so that OpenSSL will retry a read or write after TLS renegotiation, which otherwise led to messages "Got SSL error 2". - Bugzilla 1239 - fix DKIM verification when signature was not inserted as a tracking header (ie: a signed header comes before the signature). - Bugzilla 660 - Multi-valued attributes from ldap now parseable as a comma-sep list; embedded commas doubled. - Refactored ACL "verify =" logic to table-driven dispatch. - LDAP: Check for errors of TLS initialisation, to give correct diagnostics. - Removed "dont_insert_empty_fragments" fron "openssl_options". Removed SSL_clear() after SSL_new() which led to protocol negotiation failures. We appear to now support TLS1.1+ with Exim. - OpenSSL: new expansion var $tls_sni, which if used in tls_certificate lets Exim select keys and certificates based upon TLS SNI from client. Also option tls_sni on SMTP Transports. Also clear $tls_bits correctly before an outbound SMTP session. New log_selector, +tls_sni. - Bugzilla 1122 - check localhost_number expansion for failure, avoid NULL dereference. - Revert part of NM/04, it broke log_path containing %D expansions. Left warnings. Added "eximon gdb" invocation mode. - Defaulting "accept_8bitmime" to true, not false. - Added -bw for inetd wait mode support. - Added PCRE_CONFIG=yes support to Makefile for using pcre-config to locate the relevant includes and libraries. Made this the default. - Fixed headers_only on smtp transports (was not sending trailing dot). Bugzilla 1246, report and most of solution from Tomasz Kusy. - ${eval } now uses 64-bit and supports a "g" suffix (like to "k" and "m"). This may cause build issues on older platforms. - Revamped GnuTLS support, passing tls_require_ciphers to gnutls_priority_init, ignoring Exim options gnutls_require_kx, gnutls_require_mac & gnutls_require_protocols (no longer supported). Added SNI support via GnuTLS too. Made ${randint:..} supplier available, if using not-too-old GnuTLS. - Added EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP for OpenSSL. - Applied dnsdb SPF support patch from Janne Snabb. Applied second patch from Janne, implementing suggestion to default multiple-strings-in-record handling to match SPF spec. - Added expansion variable $tod_epoch_l for a higher-precision time. - Fix DCC dcc_header content corruption (stack memory referenced, read-only, out of scope). Patch from Wolfgang Breyha, report from Stuart Northfield. - Fix three issues highlighted by clang analyser static analysis. Only crash-plausible issue would require the Cambridge-specific iplookup router and a misconfiguration. Report from Marcin MirosÅ'aw. - Another attempt to deal with PCRE_PRERELEASE, this one less buggy. - %D in printf continues to cause issues (-Wformat=security), so for now guard some of the printf checks behind WANT_DEEPER_PRINTF_CHECKS. As part of this, removing so much warning spew let me fix some minor real issues in debug logging. - GnuTLS was always using default tls_require_ciphers, due to a missing assignment on my part. Fixed. - Added tls_dh_max_bits option, defaulting to current hard-coded limit of NSS, for GnuTLS/NSS interop. - Validate tls_require_ciphers on startup, since debugging an invalid string otherwise requires a connection and a bunch more work and it's relatively easy to get wrong. Should also expose TLS library linkage problems. - Pull in <features.h> on Linux, for some portability edge-cases of 64-bit ${eval} (JH/03). - Define _GNU_SOURCE in exim.h; it's needed for some releases of protection layer was required, which is not implemented. Bugzilla 1254 - Overhaul DH prime handling, supply RFC-specified DH primes as built into Exim, default to IKE id 23 from RFC 5114 (2048 bit). Make tls_dhparam take prime identifiers. Also unbreak combination of OpenSSL+DH_params+TLSSNI. - Disable SSLv2 by default in OpenSSL support. * Sat Mar 17 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - Disable format-security and missing-format-attribute warnings via CFLAGS on pre-11.2 systems. * Wed Mar 07 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - Remove obsoleted Authors lines from spec file. * Wed Mar 07 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - update to 4.77 - DKIM Verification: Fix relaxed canon for empty headers w/o whitespace trailer - Fix a couple more cases where we did not log the error message when unlink() failed. See also change 4.74-TF/03. - Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat. - The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are not safe for signals. - The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety. Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code. Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies exiwhat. - Improved ratelimit ACL condition. - Removed obsolete $Cambridge$ CVS revision strings. - Removed a few PCRE remnants. - Automatically extract Exim's version number from tags in the git repository when doing development or release builds. - Raise smtp_cmd_buffer_size to 16kB. Bugzilla 879. Patch from Paul Fisher. - Implement SSL-on-connect outbound with protocol=smtps on smtp transport. Heavily based on revision 40f9a89a from Simon Arlott's tree. Bugzilla 97. - Use .dylib instead of .so for dynamic library loading on MacOS. - Variable $av_failed, true if the AV scanner deferred. Bugzilla 1078. Patch from John Horne. - Stop make process more reliably on build failure. Bugzilla 1087. Patch from Heiko Schlittermann. - Make maildir_use_size_file an _expandable_ boolean. Bugzilla 1089. Patch from Heiko Schlittermann. - Handle ${run} returning more data than OS pipe buffer size. Bugzilla 1131. Patch from Holger WeiÃź. - Handle IPv6 addresses with SPF. Bugzilla 860. Patch from Wolfgang Breyha. - GnuTLS: support TLS 1.2 & 1.1. Bugzilla 1156. Use gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2() [patch from Andreas Metzler]. Bugzilla 1095. - match_* no longer expand right-hand-side by default. New compile-time build option, EXPAND_LISTMATCH_RHS. New expansion conditions, "inlist", "inlisti". - fix uninitialised greeting string from PP/03 (smtps client support). - shell and compiler warnings fixes for RC1-RC4 changes. - fix log_write() format string regression from TF/03. Bugzilla 1152. Patch from Dmitry Isaikin. - update to 4.77 - The new ldap_require_cert option would segfault if used. Fixed. - Harmonised TLS library version reporting; only show if debugging. Layout now matches that introduced for other libraries in 4.74 PP/03. - New openssl_options items: no_sslv2 no_sslv3 no_ticket no_tlsv1 - New "dns_use_edns0" global option. - Don't segfault on misconfiguration of ref:name exim-user as uid. Bugzilla 1098. - Extra paranoia around buffer usage at the STARTTLS transition. nb: Exim is not vulnerable to http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/555316 - Updated PolarSSL code to 0.14.2. Bugzilla 1097. Patch from Andreas Metzler. - Catch divide-by-zero in ${eval:...}. Fixes bugzilla 1102. - Condition negation of bool{}/bool_lax{} did not negate. Fixed. Bugzilla 1104. - Bugzilla 1106: CVE-2011-1764 - DKIM log line was subject to a format-string attack -- SECURITY: remote arbitrary code execution. - SECURITY - DKIM signature header parsing was double-expanded, second time unintentionally subject to list matching rules, letting the header cause arbitrary Exim lookups (of items which can occur in lists, *not* arbitrary string expansion). This allowed for information disclosure. - Fix another SIGFPE (x86) in ${eval:...} expansion, this time related to INT_MIN/-1 -- value coerced to INT_MAX. * Wed Mar 07 2012 email@example.com - Package /var/log/exim owned by user and group mail; (bnc#670711). * Fri May 20 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Fixed another remote code execution issue (CVE-2011-1407 / bnc#694798) - Fixed STARTTLS command injection (bnc#695144) * Mon May 09 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - check format strings * Sat May 07 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - The new ldap_require_cert option would segfault if used; use upstream patch to address the ldap_set_option() issue; (beo#230); (beo#1108). * Fri May 06 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Cast third arg to void * when calling ldap_set_option(). * Fri May 06 2011 email@example.com - update to 4.75 - Workround for PCRE version dependency in version reporting Bugzilla 1073 - Permit LOOKUP_foo enabling on the make command-line. Also via indented variable definition in the Makefile. - Restore caching of spamd results with expanded spamd_address. - Build issue: lookups-Makefile now exports LC_ALL=C Improves build reliability. - Fix wide character breakage in the rfc2047 coding; Fixes bug 1064. - Allow underscore in dnslist lookups; Fixes bug 1026. - Bugzilla 230: Support TLS-enabled LDAP (in addition to ldaps). - Fixed exiqgrep to cope with mailq missing size issue Fixes bug 943. - Bugzilla 1083: when lookup expansion defers, escape the output which is logged, to avoid truncation. - Bugzilla 1042: implement freeze_signal on pipe transports. - Bugzilla 1061: restrict error messages sent over SMTP to not reveal SQL string expansion failure details. - Bugzilla 486: implement %M datestamping in log filenames. - New lookups functionality failed to compile on old gcc which rejects extern declarations in function scope. - Use sig_atomic_t for flags set from signal handlers. Check getgroups() return and improve debugging. Fixed developed for diagnosis in bug 927 (which turned out to be a kernel bug). - Bugzilla 1055: Update $message_linecount for maildir_tag. - Bugzilla 1056: Improved spamd server selection. - Bugzilla 1086: Deal with maildir quota file races. - Bugzilla 1019: DKIM multiple signature generation fix. - Fix to spam.c to accommodate older gcc versions which dislike variable declaration deep within a block. - Make DISABLE_DKIM build knob functional. - Bugzilla 968: child_open_uid: restore default SIGPIPE handler * Fri May 06 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Don't pass DKIM compound log line as format string; (beo#1106); (bnc#692227). * Thu Mar 10 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - postgresql-enabled build when build_with_pgsql is defined (which is done in a linked package named server:mail/exim-postgresql) * Fri Feb 04 2011 email@example.com - Workround for PCRE version dependancy in version reporting; (beo#1073). * Fri Feb 04 2011 email@example.com - update to 4.74 - Failure to get a lock on a hints database can have serious consequences so log it to the panic log. - Log LMTP confirmation messages in the same way as SMTP, controlled using the smtp_confirmation log selector. - Include the error message when we fail to unlink a spool file. - Bugzilla 139: Support dynamically loaded lookups as modules. - Bugzilla 139: Documentation and portability issues. Avoid GNU Makefile-isms, let Exim continue to build on BSD. Handle per-OS dynamic-module compilation flags. - Let /dev/null have normal permissions. The 4.73 fixes were a little too stringent and complained about the permissions on /dev/null. Exempt it from some checks. - Report version information for many libraries, including Exim version information for dynamically loaded libraries. Created version.h, now support a version extension string for distributors who patch heavily. Dynamic module ABI change. - CVE-2011-0017 - check return value of setuid/setgid. This is a privilege escalation vulnerability whereby the Exim run-time user can cause root to append content of the attacker's choosing to arbitrary files. - Bugzilla 1041: merged DCC maintainer's fixes for return code. - Bugzilla 1071: fix delivery logging with untrusted macros. If dropping privileges for untrusted macros, we disabled normal logging on the basis that it would fail; for the Exim run-time user, this is not the case, and it resulted in successful deliveries going unlogged. - update to 4.73 - Date: & Message-Id: revert to normally being appended to a message, only prepend for the Resent-* case. Fixes regression introduced in Exim 4.70 by NM/22 for Bugzilla 607. - Include check_rfc2047_length in configure.default because we're seeing increasing numbers of administrators be bitten by this. - Added DISABLE_DKIM and comment to src/EDITME - Bugzilla 994: added openssl_options main configuration option. - Bugzilla 995: provide better SSL diagnostics on failed reads. - Bugzilla 834: provide a permit_coredump option for pipe transports. - Adjust NTLM authentication to handle SASL Initial Response. - If TLS negotiated an anonymous cipher, we could end up with SSL but without a peer certificate, leading to a segfault because of an assumption that peers always have certificates. Be a little more paranoid. Problem reported by Martin Tscholak. - Bugzilla 926: switch ClamAV to use the new zINSTREAM API for content filtering; old API available if built with WITH_OLD_CLAMAV_STREAM=yes NB: ClamAV planning to remove STREAM in "middle of 2010". CL also introduces -bmalware, various -d+acl logging additions and more caution in buffer sizes. - Implemented reverse_ip expansion operator. - Bugzilla 937: provide a "debug" ACL control. - Bugzilla 922: Documentation dusting, patch provided by John Horne. - Bugzilla 973: Implement --version. - Bugzilla 752: Refuse to build/run if Exim user is root/0. - Build without WITH_CONTENT_SCAN. Path from Andreas Metzler. - Bugzilla 816: support multiple condition rules on Routers. - Add bool_lax{} expansion operator and use that for combining multiple condition rules, instead of bool{}. Make both bool{} and bool_lax{} ignore trailing whitespace. - prevent non-panic DKIM error from being sent to paniclog - added tcp_wrappers_daemon_name to allow host entries other than "exim" to be used - Fix malware regression for cmdline scanner introduced in PP/08. Notification from Dr Andrew Aitchison. - Change ClamAV response parsing to be more robust and to handle ClamAV's ExtendedDetectionInfo response format. Notification from John Horne. - OpenSSL 1.0.0a compatibility const-ness change, should be backwards compatible. - Added a CONTRIBUTING file. Fixed the documentation build to use http: XSL and documented dependency on system catalogs, with examples of how it normally works. - Added Valgrind hooks in store.c to help it capture out-of-bounds store access. - Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - partial fix: restrict default behaviour of CONFIGURE_OWNER and CONFIGURE_GROUP options to no longer allow a configuration file which is writeable by the Exim user or group. - Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - part two: extend checks for writeability of configuration files to cover files specified with the -C option if they are going to be used with root privileges, not just the default configuration file. - Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - part three: remove ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY option (effectively making it always true). - Add TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE option to allow alternative configuration files to be used while preserving root privileges. - Set FD_CLOEXEC on SMTP sockets after forking in the daemon, to ensure that rogue child processes cannot use them. - Bugzilla 1047: change the default for system_filter_user to be the Exim run-time user, instead of root. - Add WHITELIST_D_MACROS option to let some macros be overriden by the Exim run-time user without dropping privileges. - Remove use of va_copy() which breaks pre-C99 systems. Duplicate the result string, instead of calling string_vformat() twice with the same arguments. - Allow TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE only for Exim or CONFIGURE_OWNER, not for other users. Others should always drop root privileges if they use - C on the command line, even for a whitelisted configure file. - Turn TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE into TRUSTED_CONFIG_FILE. No prefixes. - Fixed bug #1002 - Message loss when using multiple deliveries * Fri Feb 04 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Check return values of setgid/setuid; CVE-2011-0017; (bnc#668599). * Fri Dec 10 2010 email@example.com - Fix memory corruption in string_format code for pre-11.3 systems; CVE-2010-4344; (beo#787); (bnc#658731). - Fix remote root vulnerability; CVE-2010-4345; (bnc#658731). * Wed Jul 14 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - fix mysql provides to be versioned again * Tue Jun 08 2010 email@example.com - update to 4.72 - installed exipick 20100104.1, adding $max_received_linelength, $data_path, and $header_path variables; fixed documentation bugs and typos - installed exipick 20100222.0, added --input-dir and --finput to allow exipick to access non-standard spools, including the "frozen" queue (Finput) - Bugzilla 965: Support mysql stored procedures.

Better randomness defaults. * Bugzilla 847: Enable DNSDB lookup by default. * Bugzilla 915: Flag broken perl installation during build. * Sat Nov 14 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - update to 4.70 This release is a combination feature and bug fix release. The major new features are:- * Native DKIM support without an external library. * Experimental DCC support via dccifd (contributed by Wolfgang Breyha). Other changes:- * PCRE is no longer included with the Exim distribution. You will need a separate PCRE library (and matching headers) to compile Exim. You will need to change your Local/Makefile to support this. Most modern systems have a packaged PCRE library, alternatively PCRE can be found at http://www.pcre.org/ * Experimental Yahoo! Domainkeys support dropped in favor of native DKIM support. * The documentation has been updated and regenerated. As usual, all changes are in the doc/ChangeLog file: http://vcs.exim.org/viewvc/exim/exim-doc/doc-txt/ChangeLog?view=markup&pathrev=exim_4_70 * Tue Jun 09 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - silence some rpmlint warnings, by removing executable permissions from utilities packaged under documentation. - in the exim-mysql package, remove the versioned Provides, because rpmlint doesn't like it at all.

1. You should check out our children's book project on Moai Martial Arts. It's called Cranky Kenny Learns Karate, and it'll probably sweep the Newbery, Caldecott, and other children's literature awards. You might want to plan on reserving your copy once they're available.
2. This site is undergoing some heavy maintenance on the back-end, and we might experience some homepage and e-mail blackouts in the next few weeks. You should be used to that you no-good alcoholic.
