Workers perform thousands of inspections and maintenance activities, install state-of-the-art equipment to ensure safety and long-term equipment reliability
Operators safely returned Limerick Generating Station Unit 1 to full power today, marking the successful conclusion of the station's spring refueling outage. During the outage, Exelon employees and highly skilled supplemental workers performed more than 13,000 activities, including state-of-the-art equipment upgrades, extensive safety inspections and tests, and numerous plant improvements.
Limerick Unit 1 was taken off line on February 20th. During the outage, workers replaced one-third of the reactor's fuel and performed preventive maintenance activities, all designed to enhance the facility's operational strength and ensure Limerick's ability to provide clean, safe and reliable electricity for another two-year operating cycle.
"Each spring, we meticulously disassemble, inspect, test and reassemble one of our twin reactors to ensure that it continues to run safely at peak performance," said Bill Maguire, Limerick Site Vice President. "Each year, Exelon invests millions to replace spent fuel, upgrade plant equipment and enhance safety at the station."
More than 2,000 skilled workers from local union halls and technical experts from other Exelon Nuclear facilities supported Limerick employees during the refueling outage. These additional workers create a significant economic boost for area hotels, restaurants and other retail businesses well before and during the refueling operations.
Limerick Unit 2 continued to operate at full power during the Unit 1 outage. Limerick Generating Station is located 21 miles northwest of Philadelphia. With both units at full power, the site can produce enough carbon-free electricity for approximately two million homes.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with approximately $33 billion in annual revenues. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is the largest competitive U.S. power generator, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers. Exelon's utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to approximately 6.6 million customers in central Maryland (BGE), northern Illinois (ComEd) and southeastern Pennsylvania (PECO).

mySLU May 22 Upgrade
On May 22, 2013, mySLU is getting an upgrade. The portal will receive some usability improvements and an added layer of security through the use of Central Authentication Service. Here's all you need to know about the upgrade:
What is included in the upgrade?
New product, still mySLU
For the most part, mySLU will still look and feel like the mySLU portal you've used for years. ITS has designed it in a way to make for a simple transition. You'll notice the Tools tab, and all major content, is still there, right where you would expect it to be. Your links to products such as Cognos, Webfocus, Banner Self-Service, Qualtrics, and Blackboard are still there and work (largely) as they have in the past.
A couple features that are not well used in the present mySLU are not moving over:
mySLU Groups -- If you are using the Groups portion of mySLU, please plan to transition to other products such as Google Sites. You will need to backup any content presently in the groups application now that you may need to access in the future.
Bookmarks and Bookmarks Plus -- If you use these content channels in mySLU, please backup and export your bookmarks. There will not be a replacement channel in the new mySLU for these functionalities.
Custom Content Arrangement -- The new mySLU will not have the option to arrange content and/or add other content blocks. We have selected the most used and relevant blocks.
New Single Sign-On Tool (Central Authentication Service)
To improve security and the single sign-on process, a Central Authentication Service (CAS) will be implemented as part of the upgrade. This will allow you to access multiple password-protected web systems after logging in once, improving the concept of a single sign-on portal.
You will also start to log in to other systems, such as Internet Native Banner (inb.slu.edu), using CAS. More applications will be setup to utilize CAS in the coming months. When accessing these systems, you will automatically be redirected to the CAS login screen, unless you have already authenticated to CAS during your session.
What does this mean to you?
One Secure Login
To log in to mySLU, you will still go to myslu.slu.edu, but on this page, you'll click on a login link that will direct you to a new website, https://login.slu.edu, which is where you will actually enter your SLU Net ID and password. That's the CAS.
Don't be alarmed by this new site, login.slu.edu. When you log in on login.slu.edu, you'll be sent back over to mySLU and can carry on just as you would expect.
Log Out AND Close Browser
CAS is a great convenience, needing only to log in once to access all these applications. That being said, when you are done using applications that require you to log in, you must log out of the application AND close your browser to ensure you are fully logged out of all applications. Please note, while most of mySLU will be very familiar and usable, a few features will no longer be available:
What should you to do prepare for the upgrade?
Try It Out, Let Us Know How You Like It
You can experience the new version by visiting the test environment now at mytst.slu.edu. ITS is actively building out mySLU and looking to add content that you think would be useful. There is a link to provide feedback on the bottom of every mySLU page in the test environment. If you find a bug, or just have a suggestion for something you'd like to see added, please feel free to drop us a line.

|"Hands Across the Border" Leads to Meth Labs
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 03 September 2013 05:52
Friday evening, the Sheriff's Office, the Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies from North Carolina joined with law enforcement agencies from Tennessee in a "Hands Across the Border" Project. Officers from North Carolina and Tennessee held a check point
at the North Carolina/Tennessee border just west of Elk Park. During Hands Across the Border, Officers encountered 47 year old Lester Eugene Harmon of Elk River Rd., and discovered that Harmon had an outstanding warrant from Mitchell County for Larceny. Harmon was arrested on the outstanding warrant. Following up on that arrest, Officers went to Harmon's residence attempting to find another wanted person and found evidence in the front yard consistent with a meth lab. A search warrant was issued leading Investigators to locate two labs at the residence. Harmon was then charged with Possession of Precursor Chemicals, Possession of Methamphetamine and Possession with intent to distribute. Harmon is in the Avery County Jail under a $36,000.00 bond.

WASHNGTON (MarketWatch) — Entitlement reform is a major sticking point in fiscal cliff negotiations. Republican House Speaker John Boehner has proposed cutting $900 billion in entitlement spending over the next decade, and President Barack Obama's plan doesn't include entitlement reform.
My colleague Rex Nutting wrote earlier this week that "rushing into entitlement 'reform' would be particularly foolish," although America needs to keep health care costs down by changing the way doctors and hospitals are paid, just as Obamacare is going to do. Read Nutting column "How to fix Medicare the right way."
Medicare is clearly unsustainable. Rather than Obamacare, which is criticized for its system of rationing care, and paying doctors on the basis of outcomes, we need to inject more choice into Medicare, turning it into a system of competitive managed care.
Should people pay for staying behind?
Here's a sensitive management question: Is there a better way to enforce mandatory evacuation orders in advance of a hurricane, for the safety of those living near water and those who later have to rescue them?
Medicare is the toughest nut to crack. Social Security trust fund deficits can be solved by gradually raising the retirement age for future generations, means-testing benefits, and changing the growth path of benefits from an index based on wage growth to one based on price growth.
As for Medicaid, several states, such as Indiana and Rhode Island, have successfully reduced its growth through personal accounts and competition.
But Medicare presents the most daunting challenges. The Office of the Actuary of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services has estimated that without the projected Medicare spending cuts under the Affordable Care Act — cuts that may never, if history is any guide, occur — Medicare expenditures as a percent of GDP would grow from 3.7% today to 7.7% in 2050, to 10% in 2080. With the cuts, Medicare spending would be 6.7% of GDP in 2080.
Despite its shaky financial future, Medicare has become an easy target for politicians to plunder revenue for other purposes. On Jan. 1, under the Affordable Care Act, Medicare taxes will rise on income and capital, reducing incentives to work and to invest. Singles with earnings over $200,000 and joint filers who earn more than $250,000 will see Medicare taxes increase to 2.35% from 1.45%, and they will pay a new 3.8% tax on unearned income.
These receipts won't be used to shore up Medicare, but will pay for subsidies for health insurance for those below 400 percent of the poverty line. In addition, $500 billion over the next decade will be "saved" from Medicare and spent on the new program. When Congress robs Peter to pay Paul, Peter is often Medicare.
Meanwhile, Medicare reimbursements are lower than in most insurance plans, and Medicare patients complain that many doctors refuse to take them. In some areas, Medicare patients face shortages of doctors and long waits for appointments.
New iTunes 11 a pleasure to use
iTunes 11 makes major improvements to the most popular program for buying and playing media; 'Black Ops 2' sales top $2 Billion in 15 days; Alan Simpson does 'Gangnam Style'; Netflix strikes a deal with Disney; Zite gets a facelift.
A doctor in suburban Maryland told me that Medicare's reimbursement covers only a small fraction of his fee. With prospective cuts in reimbursement rates, it will not be worth taking Medicare patients. In addition, many private insurance companies calculate reimbursement rates from Medicare's rates, so these will decline also.
Plus, the doctor told me, if, following new Medicare guidelines, he is paid on the outcome of his treatment, then his incentive is to focus on healthy patients and exclude sick ones. Another measure is the number of patients seen, but seeing more patients leaves him less time for existing patients and their problems. If he should make a medical error caused by rushing too many patients into one day, Medicare gives him no protection against lawsuits.
A better way to combine fiscal responsibility with health care reform is to empower seniors to choose from private plans competing for their business. It works with the prescription drug benefit and it could work for all of Medicare. Outside Medicare, competition has lowered prices for Lasik eye surgery and cosmetic procedures.
One way to inject competition into Medicare is premium support, an idea dating back to the 1997 National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare, chaired by two retired members of Congress, Rep. Bill Thomas (R-CA) and Senator John Breaux (D-LA).
Thomas and Breaux have retired from Congress, but the Medicare Commission's premium support idea is now found in the House 2013 budget. Read it here on page 96 of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget Fiscal Year 2013.

|Pre-K Screenings Underway
|Written by Marshall Ashcraft, WC Schools
|Monday, 26 March 2012 05:47
Parents of a Watauga County child who will be four years old by August 31st of this year are urged to bring that child to the free developmental screenings scheduled two more times. Screenings started this past Saturday at Hardin Park, and will continue from 9:00-12:00 on the mornings of March 31st at Cove Creek School and April 21st
back at Hardin Park School. Every child in Watauga County who will be four years old on or before August 31st is eligible for the free screening, and all four years olds who may attend the Watauga County Schools pre-kindergarten program next fall must be screened prior to enrollment.
The screenings will be offered by appointment Each screening is open to children from anywhere in Watauga County and each will feature health care and child care professionals on site to help parents find out how their child is faring and how to best support the development of their child's potential.
Parents can register their child for screening by calling a school office or by filling out the screening appointment form available from the Parent Links page of the Watauga County Schools (WCS) website. To locate the form online, go to www.watauga.k12.nc.us, choose the Parent Links heading, then click on "forms, menus & other WCS information" and scroll down to the link for the screening appointment form.
Parents will be able to submit applications for a space in the Watauga County Schools pre-kindergarten program at the screenings. The application forms are available now in schools and on the same page of the WCS website as the screening appointment form. As part of the pre-kindergarten application process, parents will have to provide proof of residence in Watauga County, verification of household income, and a copy of the child's certified birth certificate.
The approval of pre-kindergarten applications may be delayed by uncertainties about program funding at the state and local level and by an ongoing court case that involves the level of state support for the program and the criteria that must be applied to determine which students can enroll. Because of these uncertainties, parents seeking to enroll their child in the program are encouraged to make plans for alternative child care arrangements in the event their child cannot attend. Parents will also want to note that after school child care is not available for children in the pre-kindergarten program.
There are currently nine pre-kindergarten classrooms in the WCS system, two at Hardin Park School and one at each of the other elementary schools. Each classroom has a teacher and a teacher assistant and typically serves 18 children. The WCS pre-kindergarten program began eleven years ago with half day programs at Bethel and Parkway and expanded to a full school day in all the elementary schools by fall of 2007.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Next? Hillary vs Jeb, 2016? Another Clinton vs. another Bush? The matchup has a rock-star ring. Both already jockeying for position ... feel like heirs to dynasties with divine right ... two marquee symbols of major political parties ... both fit neatly into the new centrist ideologies emerging from the latest election ... fit for a new age when both parties will be forced by economics as well as political and demographic realities to compromise in the near-term ... to survive as parties and a viable nation in the New America.
But what's best for America? It's obvious: Women are America's new voting power-brokers. For that play, you can bet the early money's on Hillary Clinton vs. Condoleezza Rice in the 2016 presidential race.
Yes, Jeb Bush is an old-guard favorite, even stronger with Marco Rubio on the ticket. But the time has come, 2012 proved women are America's new voting bloc.
So what's really best for 21st century America: a strong woman leader and the Hillary vs. Condi matchup guarantees it. Americans are tired of costly, irrational wars racking up trillions in debt. Men are natural warriors, whether in defense budgeting, stock trading or with some deep psychological need to dominate.
Women think very differently. Their mind-set is exactly what the new America needs for effective 21st century global leadership. So let's start with a survey of the research on why women are better investors.
Men love thrills, playing casino games, chasing bulls, risking crashes
Research proves that women are better investors than men and, by extension, better at handling money, deficits and debt — and likely with fiscal cliffs. A few years ago Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Zweig quoted well-known finance professors Brad Barber and Terrance Odean. Their research proved "women's risk-adjusted returns beat those of men by an average of about one percentage point annually ... women trade less frequently, hold less volatile portfolios."
Men's brains think like aggressive hyperactive kids playing video games: "In the testosterone-poisoned sandbox of the male investor, the most important thing is beating the other guy; the second most important: bragging about it. The long term is somebody else's problem and asking for advice is an admission of inferiority. Worrying about risk is for sissies. Leverage is good, since it raises returns — while the market goes up. Is it any wonder the male-dominated world of Wall Street has boomed and busted every few years for more than two centuries?" And why women outperform men investors.
It's also easy to understand why America's future would be safer if women were in leadership roles. As Zweig put it: Women "put safety first ... are less afflicted than men by overconfidence, or the delusion that they know more than they really do. And they're more likely than men to attribute success to factors outside themselves, like luck or fate."
In a rising market men tell themselves they're geniuses. When falling, they blame Congress and regulators.
Women are also surprised by this rapid power shift
Look closely, 21st century America is an Age of Powerful Women. Their time has arrived. And not only is the power coming at warp speed, women are as shocked by their new power as men are threatened.
When I graduated from the University of Virginia Law School a generation ago we had four women among roughly 300 men. Today, across America women are the majority in law, medicine and business schools. No wonder men are in shock, watching their power erode fast.
Not just women but all America feels this rapid power shift after centuries of entrenched paternalism. This tidal wave is so threatening male politicians have been fighting to return to the good ol' days of subservient women.

Buffalo, NY - If you're hungering for a great meal, then some local restaurants feel they can offer you a great deal with another installment of Restaurant Week.
Starting Monday, you can go out for dinner for the price of $20.13 at one of the 200 participating restaurants in the seven counties around Western New York. The program began four years ago with just 49 restaurants Since then the idea has really caught on with both restaurant owners and the public.
As Mike Andrzejewski of Seabar puts it "It's caught on more importantly with the consumers and the local people. Everybody loves to go out to eat. It gives them a great chance to try something new and visit some new restaurants, make some new friends, and experiment with where they like to dine."
It is suggested you make reservations because some of the restaurants taking part are extremely popular and obviously busy this week. You can find out more at http://www.localrestaurantweek.com

Four Tips for Consistently Restful Sleep
Written by admin on Monday, August 12, 2013 | No Comments
Categories: Car Reviews
Sleep experts say we should get an average of eight hours of restful sleep every night. Yet how many of us actually do? For some of us, we don't get enough sleep simply because we don't make enough time for it. But for others, a lack of sleep is due to the inability to get comfortable and relax.
Before we start relying on medications to help us sleep there are some other things we should try. Remember that sleep medications can cause dependency, which is never a good thing. Below are four tips that may help solve any sleep issues you might have.
1. Sleeping on the Right Bed
You probably know by now that not all beds are created equal. But what you may not know is that not all beds are equally comfortable for all types of sleepers. Therefore, it's incumbent to take the time to look at all of your options when you're shopping for a new bed or a replacement mattress. This might involve several weekends of going to bedding and furniture stores and laying on dozens of different models. But it's well worth the time and effort. Once you find the right bed for you it will change the way you sleep.
The most common type of bed is the inner-spring mattress and box spring combination. While these types of beds have been the market leader for generations they are often uncomfortable for people with back pain, arthritis, and other health problems. For them, a better choice is a foam mattress or an adjustable air mattress. Both of these types of beds are relatively new to the market (within the last 20 to 30 years) but both offer benefits you can't get with an inner-spring mattress.
It's not possible to say that one specific type of mattress is right for everyone. If you have trouble deciding after several weeks of shopping, you might want to consult your doctor and get his advice. He may know why you're suffering from sleep issues and he might be able to recommend a possible solution.
2. Preparing Your Bedroom
Your bedroom should be a place of relaxation, solace, and rest. Therefore, decorate in a way that is soothing and relaxing. For example, experts claim that for most people the colour red is a stimulant. Painting your bedroom walls bright red and accessorizing with red and white combinations may be just visually stimulating enough to interruption sleep. Try more soothing colours like soft grey, peach, mother of pearl, etc.
If the television is too much of a distraction for you, you might want to remove it from your bedroom as well. It doesn't do any good to promise yourself you'll be in bed by 11 o'clock only to stay up until one o'clock watching television. The same can be said for music players, computer game consoles, and anything else that would keep you from sleep.
If outside noise interrupts your sleep you might try getting a white noise machine. A white noise machine plays something that's calming and soothing in the background, such as a waterfall or chirping birds, allowing you to fall asleep while masking the sounds from outdoors. A white noise machine has been a godsend for many people who have trouble sleeping.
3. Prepare Yourself for Sleep
Experts say that moderate exercise actually increases our energy for the first hour or so afterwards. As a general rule you probably should do your daily exercise in the morning rather that night just before you go to bed. If you must do your workout routine in the evening, make sure it's completed at least two hours before bedtime. Furthermore, some people benefit from a cup of tea, a glass of warm milk, or a glass of wine before bedtime. Whatever you do, don't eat large amounts of food just before turning in.
4. Be Consistent
One of the best things you can do to ensure restful sleep is to be as consistent as possible about your bedtime and your wake-up time. The human body much works on a cyclical inner-clock; the more you can stay on that schedule the easier it is for your body to sleep when it's supposed to and remain awake and alert at other times.
If you work a rotating shift you'll probably have a difficult time maintaining a consistent schedule. For the rest of us however, a consistent schedule should be a real possibility. Sweet dreams!

The Effects of Motoring on Our Planet – ICE watch
Written by admin on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 | No Comments
Categories: Just for Fun
Many people consider the modern motor car to be one of the best inventions in the history of the world; just imagine where we would be and how different our daily lives would be if we did not have the ability to use vehicles to travel around in. Certainly the environmental health of the plant may have been a lot better, but car manufacturers are increasingly turning to new technologies to refine the way motor vehicles are produced and driven and are constantly working to reduce the impact that driving has on our planet. JenningsKia is one of the few car manufacturers who have responded to the public's growing interest in, and desire for hybrid motor vehicles. Kia introduced their range of hybrid cars after debuting them to motor journalists at the Paris Motor Show in 2008; many car manufacturers are still yet to respond to the need for a hybrid vehicle and this has helped to push Kia to the forefront of the motoring industry.
Environmental concerns
Ask a group of motorists what their biggest concerns are when it comes to motoring and many will raise the issue of the rising fuel costs that is affecting their everyday driving habits; perhaps a more vital concern, and one that should be in the mind of every driver in the country, is the effect that their motoring has on the environment. Hybrid vehicles, such as those manufactured by Kia, are due to become ever more present on our roads as more motorists come to realise the importance of keeping emissions down. A hybrid vehicle combines element of a traditional vehicle motor with an additional electronic element. A traditional vehicle motor consists of an internal combustion engine; however hybrid vehicles have a smaller version of this but also contain one or more electric batteries. These two parts of the engine work in conjunction with each other to reduce the overall emission. There are also electric vehicles that have been developed that fully run from electric batteries; however these need to be refined further in order to make them a viable option for every motorist.
Further information
You might think that as a hybrid vehicle is a fairly new development that they may be some of the most expensive vehicles there are to buy; this is simply not the case. Many hybrid ranges have vehicles that cost the same price as a standard vehicle. Not only are these types of vehicle far more environmentally friendly, they can also help to reduce the costs of your everyday motoring; something most drivers wish they could reduce. As you are using your usually combustion engine in conjunction with an electric battery you will not need to fill up your vehicle with fuel so often; this can help save hundreds of pounds every year. There are also schemes in place that offer good discounts on hybrid vehicles in an effort to encourage more people to consider buying one.
Melting of the ICE caps
The Ice caps at the north and more prominently in the south are in grave danger! This is no joke the current estimate is within 20 years that the majority of ice in these regions will melt raising sea levels massively arround the globe.
The melting of the ICE will occur in our lifetime!
It may be all very well that you can buy a nice watch ticwatches but this is a serious business! Manufacturing is worsening global warming and if anybody watched frozen planet on the TV last week will have seen lots of great and fascinating imagery taken by the frozen ice planet team but the reality is grim.
Ice watches we need to be vigilant and protect our plannet.

Some of the most memorable scenes from the best movies of all time have involved car chases. A lot of money and effort goes into making these original as well as exciting. It is hard to imagine how anything new can be added to these scenes, but filmmakers keep on coming up with novel ideas. This type of action never seems to get boring and so we can probably expect that there will be many more of these to come in future films. This is all great news for those of us who just love a good car chase. Some movie car chases are timeless; here are just five of the greatest car chases of all time.

THERE'S a line in the song Golddigger, which topped the charts a few years ago for Kanye West, which says of a American footballer who gets taken to the cleaners by his ex-girlfriend:
"Wins the Superbowl on a Sunday, then drives off in a Hyundai."
As well as some dubious rhyming, it illustrates the status of the company in many minds, not just rappers with emotional problems Understandably any company which is perceived as budget and wants to move up the ranks, and Hyundai is no different.

This is probably the worst thing that could have happened to Verizon. It had planned a business strategy to ensure more profit, but it backfired very badly. Verizon had decided that it would increase its ETF (Early Termination Fees) for its handsets, and make it $350. This motion was taken last year. But Verizon forgot that no one likes ETFs. Verizon customers were positively fuming at this ploy, and this plan didn't impress any of Verizon's fans at all. So, the state of California decided to uphold an appeal against Verizon. The state of California decided that this fee was unfair to customers, and decided to appeal in favor of the users. As a result, Verizon will now have to pay $21 million as settlement fee. It will have to award refunds to 175,000 customers.
Both Verizon and AT&T have very high fees. So, signing a contract and committing to an ETF is a very tricky thing for them. They charge $350 and $325 respectively. They are so money-minded, that it would seem that even after you die, Verizon would want to collect its termination fees. There is one thing these carriers can do to cope with these changes. They can charge a lower fee each month, and start a contract. Therefore, if the user decides to leave, then the user's cost will be prorated.
Although this whole thing may seem to be a win for customers, there is nothing to be very happy about. It does not look like things are going to be improving, any time soon in the near future. The cellphone carriers claim that there is only one way they can offer such heavy subsidies. They can only do this by ensuring that the ETFs are in place. This is a precaution they must take, if, just in case a customer tries to run with a smartphone, 2-3 months into the contract.

Hi Gurus,
Anyone here has a working firewall script for Apache Webserver that they can share? Or perhaps, comment on my script?
I have a script but doesn't allow my clients to access my webserver.
First here's my initial firewall entries:
IPADDR=`ifconfig eth0 | fgrep -i inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d " " -f 1`
LOCAL_INTERFACE_1="eth1" # Internal LAN interface
INTRANET="192.168.0.0/16" # Private IP Addr Range
Now, here's my firewall rule for apache:
# ------------------------------------------------------------------
# HTTP client (80)
# ------------------------------------------------------------------
iptables -A INPUT -i $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp ! --syn \
--source-port 80 \
-d $IPADDR --destination-port $UNPRIVPORTS -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp \
-s $IPADDR --source-port $UNPRIVPORTS \
--destination-port 80 -j ACCEPT
I will appreciate any help.
Thanks alot!
Just to make sure I understand your setup: You're running a firewall on the same machine that acts as webserver and the IP of that machine is $IPADDR.
iptables -A INPUT -i $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp ! --syn --source-port 80 -d $IPADDR --destination-port $UNPRIVPORTS -j ACCEPT
First: [...] -p tcp ! --syn [...]
Why did you do that? A packet with the syn flag is the first packet in a tcp/ip handshake that requests a new connection to be established. If you deny these packets (! --syn -j ACCEPT is the same as --syn -j DROP (provided your default policy for the INPUT chain is DROP)) no connections will ever be established.
Also what's up with your ports? We're talking about a webserver here, right? --source-port 80 should be --destination-port 80
Third: Are your client sitting on the LAN (and thus access the web server via $LOCAL_INTERFACE) or do they come from the outside?
iptables -A OUTPUT -o $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp \
-s $IPADDR --source-port $UNPRIVPORTS \
--destination-port 80 -j ACCEPT
This allows http connections from the webserver to other webservers. Is that what you want?
Also, what's $UNPRIVPORTS?

East Carbon officials convened a special council meeting Thursday as their interlocal agreement with Sunnyside was due to run out at midnight. They met to discuss a offer submitted on Sept.17 by Sunnyside attorney Craig Bunnell, in which Sunnyside accepted the price increase for protection but requested several changes within the agreement as a whole. As the meeting concluded East Carbon officials extended the current contract by 30 days to allow for further negotiation.
After opening the meeting, city officials adjourned to a closed session to discuss the offer with their attorney before returning to the council chambers in order to address the contract.
"There are some changes they would like made to the agreement but did agree to the price increase," said East Carbon Attorney Jeremiah Humes. "They took issue with the 4 percent increase and suggested that the mayors from both cities get together and decide on a number that is fair year by year. However, I would like to see the increase tied to the consumer price index, I have seen many contracts tied to that number and it would seem that Sunnyside should be comfortable with that number."
Additionally, Sunnyside requested a quarterly report that Humes suggested by statistical in nature in order to provide the city with crime rates and trends.
The contract also requested that Sunnyside receive 20 percent of the total patrol time done by the department.
"That is less than we are doing now," said East Carbon councilmember Terry Harrison. "We will maintain what we are doing now which is more than 20 percent."
The largest debate concerning the contract came over Sunnyside's request that their court cases be heard in Price rather than within East Carbon justice court.
"It's a huge burden for our officers to have to come into court and all criminal matters should be dealt with here in East Carbon," said Humes. "It allows for our officers to be available for any type of emergency that may happen within the city. Civil matters could be negotiated, but I would recommend to the council that all criminal cases be tried here."
Following extension of the current contract for further negotiation, East Carbon Police Chief Sam Leonard addressed the council concerning the law enforcement department's stance on the requested changes.
"I have a concern that, if we take Sunnyside's criminal cases to Price, we are going to run into the same problem that we used to," explained Leonard. "I have concern with all of our officers being in court at the same time. It used to happen and I would say a little prayer that nothing would happen while we were gone."
According to the chief, certain court dates can tie several officers up for five to six hour at a time, leaving the community with almost no police service.
"The whole council is sensitive to that issue," said Councilmember Harrison. "We have gone as far as to put a full-time animal control officer on duty to limit the amount of time that our officers are out of the city."
Leonard was not the only law enforcement officer in attendance who took issue with attending court in Price.
"I would much rather come in on my day off and appear here than have to go down to Price and wait for five or six hours to testify for 30 seconds and then be sent home," said East Carbon Police Sgt. Phillip Holt.
Lastly, East Carbon officials discussed the sensitive nature of many police documents and how important it would be that everyone respect the chain of evidence.
"We don't have a problem with Sunnyside seeing anything that goes on inside the department but these documents would have to be give extreme care, in fact I think the reports would be sealed, marked confidential and hand delivered to the mayor," concluded LaFontaine.

ONE MORE YEAR FOR PETROV IN RUSSIAKabanov moves, Gregoire and Kessel are free
It's going to be another year, and likely a few years after that, when we learn whether the Islanders' no-risk/high reward drafting of a pair of unique young men from Russia named Kirill will ever pay off at the NHL level.
A source close to Petrov told Point Blank that the big right wing will fulfill the fourth and final year of his Kontinental Hockey League contract in 2011-12. In an added twist, apparently in Russia a player can be traded for himself. A year after Petrov was dealt to Yugra – a good move for the sake of his development – he has been "loaned" back to his original team, Kazan Ak Bars.
Petrov has legitimate reasons for wanting to stay home at least one more year. According to the source, Petrov's mother is seriously ill and recently underwent her second surgery in the last year. As of this date, Petrov is not only committed to playing in Kazan this season, but he is very questionable for the Islanders' prospect camp next month. He had a very positive couple of weeks on Long Island last summer.
After a strong start with Yugra and with increased icetime after two years spent mainly on the bench with Ak Bars, the 6-3, 205-pound right wing tailed off. He finished the season with 8 goals and 11 assists for 19 points in 48 games. At Kazan, one of the most competitive teams in the league and a franchise that tends to lean on experienced players, Petrov could be in a battle just to claim a spot on the third line.
The Islanders had some idea of what they were getting into, which is why they had no problem using one of their three third round picks in the 2008 NHL draft to take a flyer on the talented Petrov. Scouts from other NHL teams told Point Blank that the information prior to draft weekend on Petrov's commitment to the KHL was very sketchy. Some were told he had a one-year deal with Kazan. Others were informed that he was under contract for three years or possibly more. It wasn't until after the draft that it was confirmed that Kazan had him locked up for four seasons. Considering the low price, the Islanders have no regrets.
Although the roadblocks in his development, in part, caused Petrov to slip to No. 8 in our recent Scouts' Poll of the top Islanders' prospects, he is just 21 years old. If the Islanders are able to bring him to New York in 2012 and begin his North American development, they still could have a quality big forward to help close out the slow and steady rebuild.
While Petrov's stock slipped, Kirill Kabanov's rose with a head-turning performance in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoffs with the Lewiston Maineiacs. Some of the credit for Kabanov's maturity over the last year, since his selection in the third round of the 2010 draft, was given to Lewiston president Bill Schurmann (who worked with the player in Moncton) and head coach Jean-Francois Houle.
Alas, while the lovably high-maintenance Kabanov may still be part-maniac, he is no longer a Maineiac. The Lewiston franchise went bust earlier this week, and all of its players were made available in a QMJHL dispersal draft today. Kabanov is now a member of the Montreal Juniors, who drafted him off Lewiston's 35-player eligibility list. Montreal has a good team. As for the city…well, it brings to mind Nino Niederreiter's favorite word: it's fantastic. Kabanov's going to love it there.
Besides dispatching Doug Weight and Eric Cairns to Montreal on occasion, the Islanders might want to convince the Juniors to bring on Houle as a coach.
In other prospect news, collegiate draft picks/dropouts Jason Gregoire and Blake Kessel have officially Wheeler-ed their way into free agency. The Islanders could still sign the players, but they are now free to speak with every NHL team. Gregoire and Kessel rated "honorable mentions" outside of the top ten in our recent Scouts' Poll of prospects. They are, without question, solid NHL prospects and will receive offers from other clubs.

There are lots of things that interest us at any given moment (like homemade marshmallows or Alexander Wang's fall bag collection), but one thing we're consistently curious about is the process of what happens when musicians marry models. Call us crazy, but it seems to inevitably result in two things: dramatic divorce and beautiful children with big personalities and amazing style, though not necessarily in that order. To feed our fascination with this phenomenon, we naturally keep tabs on Mick Jagger's offspring (all seven of them), in particular, the four kids he had with the stunning supermodel, Jerry Hall. Of those siblings, we've been most intrigued by the youngest girl and subject of today's story-Georgia May Jagger.
Having inherited her parents' best physical features-her father's lips and mom's blonde locks (Georgia's endearing Lauren Hutton-like smile comes as an added bonus)-Jagger caught the attention of London's esteemed Independent Talent Agency (they rep Alexa Chung and Lily Allen) earlier this year. Since signing with them, she has already appeared in the British fashion and art magazine Dazed & Confused and was featured in the launch campaign for Uniqlos' Oxford Street flagship store. While we are intrigued by young Jagger's unfolding potential and recognize that she will surely make waves in the modeling world, her preternatural personal style is what won our affections.
Compare Jagger to her stateside peers and you'll find that most pale in comparison to her developed sense of color and artistic flair. She dolls up with a dexterity that is wise beyond her years and puts the Disney stars of this world to shame. Jagger tends to select interesting and vibrant dresses that flatter her shape and has a real gift for sleuthing out (and wearing) exceptional shoes. Not to mention, how many high school juniors can combine a blue body-conscious dress and bright aqua heels with such staggering cool results? Further cementing her fashion sense, Jagger demonstrates an ability to get her accessories just right (and for every outfit too!). Already ahead of the fall trends with her black lace tights, we also love her thoughtfully chosen orange statement necklaces and black satin headband in the outfits above. In the fashion world, true stylesetters only come around every so often, and we are certain that this one will continue to blossom as a significant muse for her generation. -Jessica Amento

President Barrack Hussein Obama has introduced many things since his rise to office, and they have been enforced to a great extent also. His most recent enforcement is to boost mobile services for the good of the people.
President Obama, along with his colleagues in the White House have issued a memorandum, which asks the executive departments and agencies to boost mobile services, so much so that 500 MHz of spectrum will be made available within the next ten years. The spectrum made available will be coming from commercial, as well as federal bands. The memorandum has been issued to the Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of Commerce is to work together with the Federal Communications Commission to make Obama's drive possible.
According to the President, the era in global wireless technology can only advance if there are more spectrums available. There will be multiple new developments in the fields of wireless devices, networks, new applications, which will help in the progress of economy. But to experiment with these devices and to successfully use them, more spectrums are needed. Since there is a shortage of spectrum, the available quantity should be used more efficiently.
There has been the issue of scarcity of licensed spectrum available. No new operators are being able to provide wireless broadband services due to shortage of licensed spectrum. And if unlicensed spectrum is used, then there could be no guarantee of either connectivity or that of quality. As more and more people are using unlocked smartphones and other wireless devices to access the web on the go, it could pose a serious problem for providers. The President's drive will be a beacon of hope for consumers and providers alike.
The Obama-led government sees the phone Internet as a major help in bridging the digital divide. The digital divide is in rural areas mostly, and Obama wants to overcome these shortcomings and encourage jobs and innovation.

Kaman: Clippers "Lied to me a couple of times"
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sun, 08/10/08, 08:11am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
From Chris Tomasson in this morning's Rocky Mountain News:
A lot of people were wondering what Kaman was doing when he decided to play for Germany in the Olympics. He's didn't speak a word of German, and he only had been to the country changing planes in the airport.You can understand the Clippers' concern about their starting center -- who missed 26 games last season -- risking injury by playing in the Olympics. Kaman's comments suggest that if he were to go down, the Clippers' insurance policy might not cover any of his 5 years/$52.5M contract. And Kaman, it's fair to say, has some puerile instincts. Chris' flakiness makes him endearing...but it also renders him a little dim. Having said that, whether they have a reasonable cause for concern, the Clippers have a propensity for pissing off their players, whether it's Andre Miller, Elton Brand, Chris Kaman, or others.
But Kaman was eligible because his great grandparents were from Germany before emigrating to the U.S. Even Kaman's father had reservations about him playing.
"My dad is kind of negative, (saying), 'You're not German, you're American,''' said Kaman, who scored 24 points for the Germans in the opener while teammate Dirk Nowitzki, the Dallas star, added 23. "I had to get in his face a little.''
His employer also wasn't happy. With Kaman recovering from an ankle injury sustained late last season, he said the Clippers didn't want him to play.
"The Clippers made it very difficult for me to go over here, with the insurance, with them not wanting me to go,'' Kaman said. "I was a little disappointed in that at the time with the way they handled stuff. They lied to me a couple of times.''
Kaman declined to say in what manner the Clippers lied. But he said he's now on better terms with them.
By joining Germany, Kaman never can play for Team USA. He said he doesn't have any immediate regrets, but doesn't deny he could have some down the road.
"I still have citizenship in the United States, so it's not like I'm a traitor,'' Kaman said.
On the matter of Chris playing for the Germans -- beyond the implication to his health and readiness for 2008-09 -- who cares? The premise that he's disloyal or treasonous for suiting up for another country in an athletic competition is...quaint, I guess. Call me a post-nationalist, but when I look at Chris Kaman, I see a guy who has an armament subsystem in his home, hunts any chance he gets, and traveled the continent in an RV last off-season. What's more American than that?

The holiday season can be a festive time of connecting with family and friends and reflecting over our successes and accomplishments of the past year. The commercialization of the holiday season can lead to emotional highs and lows. We have great expectations about the holiday season, but when the great expectation doesn't happen the "Blue Dude" moves in…the blues depression.
I had the expectation that he would give me a ring and propose to me, but he didn't. I have been living with my boyfriend for two years and I expected that we would get married this year but we didn't. I had the expectation that my family would come to visit me over the holidays but they didn't. I had the expectation that me and my family would all get along better, but we argued the entire time. My expectation was to be debt free and financially independent, but it hasn't happened. I expected to be finished with my degree and have a better paying career, but it hasn't happened. A lot has happened, but what you expected hasn't happened yet. The "Blue Dude" moves in…the blues, depression.
We compete with holiday gifts by trying to "out-give the giver". We go above and beyond our financial means to make people feel loved, appreciated and wanted. However, one thing happens: the credit card bills arrive by mid January and the "Blue Dude" moves in… the blues, depression.
Military servicemembers and their families are definitely facing the Blue Dude because deployments mean not being together with loved one and friends. Maybe you were not expecting a deployment or maybe you were expecting to be home from deployment by now. The "Blue Dude" moves in…the blues, depression.
You can make the Blue Dude Mooove Over by if you do these 3 things.
1. Show people you love them by giving them the gift of "you". For example, send them a framed photo of you. You can find very inexpensive picture frames. Most people tend to recycle gifts by giving them to other people, or by throwing them in the back of the closet. Family and true friends will love the picture and in return you won't have a maxed out credit card.
2. It's okay to say "no". Go ahead and practice right now. Say the word "no" three times to yourself. It may take some getting used to. The holiday season is a time to become over burdened with many activities and events. Remember, the holidays are also a time for rest and relaxation too. There is a great emotional build up to Thanksgiving Day. Our emotions go up and up. Finally the day comes and "aaaahhh," we emotionally tumble back down. The same emotional roller coaster happens with Christmas and New Year's Day too. Avoid the emotional roller coaster by taking time out for yourself. Take care of yourself, and say no to frivolous events and activities.
3. Remember that life happens. It's normal when things don't work out exactly like we expect them to, so don't blame and beat yourself up too bad. However, don't go overboard and commercialize the holiday season. It will only lead to the blues and even depression.
This holiday season make the Blue Dude Mooove Over.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Because many people are sick with the flu and other respiratory illnesses, Buffalo Bishop Richard Malone is urging people to use common sense when attending mass this weekend.
Malone says if you're sick it's OK to not shake hands with others during the sign of peace.
He also says don't drink wine from the chalice at Communion either so that germs are not spread from person to person.

CANTON Thursday proved eventful for jurors in a St. Lawrence County murder trial.
First, they heard from a forensic scientist who said that DNA tests excluded two of three defendants from contact with a leather glove found at the crime scene, but that the third could not be excluded.
Ogdensburg residents Anthony W. Lalonde, Michael D. Durand and Michael S. Thorpe are charged with second-degree murder and first-degree robbery in the Nov. 18, 2010, death of Ralph E. Gene Lawton, 83, who lived at 930 Ford St., Ogdensburg.
Later, after lunch, jurors heard the prosecution formally rest its case, although Chief Assistant District Attorney Amanda N. Nissen is expected to present one final witness today.
Finally, the afternoon ended with Thorpe briefly on the stand, perhaps the only member of the trio who will testify. Lawyers for both sides said they could be finished with witness testimony today, with closing arguments expected Monday and the case heading to the jury after that.
Andrea Allard, a forensic scientist with the state police crime lab in Albany, testified Thursday about performing DNA examinations on evidence submitted to her office by Ogdensburg police.
A leather glove that police found on a kitchen chair in Mr. Lawtons apartment has figured prominently in previous testimony.
Ms. Allard said DNA tests were performed on swabs taken from inside the gloves fingers, as well as on fabric taken from its inner palm.
Genetic material from at least two people was discovered, she said.
However, finger-swab tests ruled out Durand and Thorpe as contributors to that DNA, Ms. Allard said.
The tests also ruled out Mr. Lawton; his roommate, Guy C. Bartlett, as well as Victor R. Gardner and Andrew C. Wells, two people linked by previous testimony to knowledge of plans to rob Mr. Lawton.
Among them, only Lalonde could not be ruled out. I was able to determine that he could not be excluded as a contributor, Ms. Allard said.
As for the palm test, Mr. Lawton, Durand and Thorpe were excluded, she said, but I was unable to determine if someone could be included in the profile.
Thorpes attorney, William John Galvin, asked whether a woman could have been among the DNA contributors. Ms. Allard said it was possible.
Under questioning by Durands attorney, Gary W. Miles, Ms. Allard also acknowledged that testing does not reveal when DNA came into contact with an object.
Another item tested by Ms. Allard was an ax handle police found around the corner, outside a Denny Street home. Investigators have said the masked intruders the night of the killing menaced Mr. Lawton and Mr. Bartlett with a wooden object. Ms. Allard said one of Mr. Lawtons hairs was found on the handle, but other DNA on the item came from at least two donors, of whom Mr. Lawton and Mr. Bartlett could not be excluded.
Thorpe, 26, was called to the stand about 3:50 p.m., following testimony by a friend of Mr. Lawton and by Karen Durand, Thorpes ex-girlfriend and sister of suspect Michael Durand. Thorpe was questioned by his attorney, Lloyd G. Grandy II, for about 15 minutes, and cross-examined by Ms. Nissen for about 10 minutes.
Thorpe said that he called Mr. Lawton several times on Nov. 18, 2010, to set up a time to buy OxyContin from him that day, and that they had previously engaged in drug transactions.
Thorpe, then living at 807 Ford St., testified that he drove Ms. Durands car a block and a half to 930 Ford St. about 5:30 p.m. and went upstairs, where he saw Mr. Lawton and Mr. Bartlett eating pizza.
After talking about the pizza and a debt he owed Mr. Lawton, Thorpe said, he paid $40 for 40 milligrams of OxyContin, went home and then smoked the pill in his bedroom.
Thorpe said that he played no part in the planning or execution of any robbery, and that Michael Durand was at his and Ms. Durands apartment the whole time.
Mr. Miles said he did not intend to call any witnesses. Mr. Grandy will have a chance to call witnesses today; he declined to comment on whether Lalonde will take the stand.

Trigger System contributes to exceptional accuracy and its classic, Controlled Round Feed action continues to make the Ultimate Shadow's receiver the most reliable and smoothest cycling in the industry.
The Ultimate Shadow is offered in a 22", 24" or 26" blued barrel and available in popular standard calibers and three WSM calibers.

By MARIE STINSONCastle Dale
I am writing in reference to the people protesting in front of the Price Courthouse on Jan. 7. They were holding up signs saying that DCFS "steals" children for money.
I am a foster parent and have had seven girls in my home in the past two years, and they all have been pulled from their homes for different reasons, so I know from experience that the state does not just "steal" children.
These kids that are in foster care are here because of the irresponsibility of the parents either by no supervision, drug abuse, sexual abuse, alcohol abuse, domestic violence and, for some teenagers, they get into trouble.
So you people that are complaining of your children being taken by the state should be ashamed of even complaining because it is mainly your fault that they are in care in the first place.
And as for the fact that we as foster parents get paid to take care of your children, you should have to pay for your children, and in my opinion we don't get enough to do what we do. The payment I get pays for food, shampoo, soap, feminine napkins, make-up and clothing for these kids. I do foster care to help the children and their families, not for the money.
So in my opinion shut up and stop complaining and do the right things to get your kids back and keep them.
