(IDG News Service) Enterprises worried about cybersecurity should pay more attention to their own employees than to the as-of-yet unrealized threat of cyberterrorism, two cybersecurity experts warned a group of IT professionals Tuesday.
Speaking at the Gartner IT Security Summit 2003, representatives of Gartner Inc. and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) suggested that enterprises should worry more about their intellectual property leaking out through employees or small-time hackers than their entire networks crashing from attacks of organized cyberterrorists.
The threat of cyberterrorism to enterprises may be overstated, but the threat of less organized attacks may be understated in current discussions about cybersecurity, said CSIS director James Lewis.
While a host of security experts have called on the U.S. and its allies to be vigilant against cyberterrorism, think tank director Lewis said he's seen no evidence of large cyberterrorist attacks yet.
The U.S. has counted more than 1,800 physical terrorism attacks since 1995, Lewis noted, but no major cyberterrorism in that time frame. "Kinetic weapons are much more effective right now," Lewis added.
However, enterprises should be worried about attacks, whether they are from inside employees or outsiders because they have more property than individuals do, and fewer ways to protect themselves than nations do. Enterprises are where the money is in cyber attacks, whether it be intellectual property, extortion or financial data, Lewis said, with loss of intellectual property and sensitive data the fastest growing cybersecurity loss.
"You get a lot of attention on cyberterrorism and Osama bin Laden sitting in front of a keyboard, but you ought to be more worried about insiders," Lewis said to close to 1,000 attendees of the Gartner conference. "The primary target is companies, and we probably put not enough effort into thinking about how to protect them."
Individual hackers will increasingly become another threat to both security and privacy because of their access to ever more powerful technology, added Richard Hunter, a vice president at Gartner and co-chairman of the conference. By 2008, Gartner estimates home computers will have 40-GHz processors and 1.3T bytes of storage, he said, leading to both beneficial and dangerous uses of home computers.
"That's enough to do data mining at home," Hunter said. "When we think about an environment that involves governments collecting information, that involves enterprises gathering information, we now have to think about an environment in which individuals are going to have significant power to gather and analyze and use information."
An enterprise's greatest strength and greatest weakness are often its employees, whether they make mistakes in not following security best practices or they have malicious intent, added Casey J. Dunlevy, project lead at the CERT Analysis Center at Carnegie Mellon University. Because of that, it's difficult for companies to come up with accurate threat models that can show them where to put their resources.
Companies need to prioritize their critical assets and should look into creating multidisciplinary teams that consider other security challenges such as physical security when drawing up a plan to protect critical assets, Dunlevy recommended. No company has enough money to "take the fortress mentality and protect everything," he added.
Dunlevy agreed with Lewis that cyberterrorism on its own may not be the top worry of most enterprises, but he suggested that cyber attacks could be a way for terrorists to supplement physical attacks. For example, shutting down a major city's traffic lights would be an effective way to create gridlock and multiply the impact of a physical attack.
"We're not necessarily looking for the 10-foot-tall cyber hacker to come out of the basement," Dunlevy said. "We're talking about people that know enough about technology to utilize it for different ends."
David M. Perry, the global director of education for security vendor Trend Micro Inc., said in an interview that small businesses and individuals should look for the same security protection and attention from vendors that enterprises get. Small- and medium-sized businesses should demand that their Internet service providers act as their enterprise when getting deals with large security vendors, he recommended.
Separately, Gartner released a study Tuesday saying that 2003 will be the first year in history in which most industries will spend 5 percent of their IT budgets on security. Security spending will have grown at a compound annual rate of 28 percent between 2001 and the end of 2003, Gartner said, while IT budgets overall will have grown only 6 percent during the same time.
It's in security vendors' best interest to focus on selling their products to enterprises, not to individuals or smaller businesses, Perry added. "They say (enterprise security) is where the danger is, but what they mean is that's where the money is to sell their products," Perry added.

Who should play Peter Parker's best frienemy?
Even though director Marc Webb has expressed some reluctance about leaping right back into the swing of things (pardon the pun) with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 so soon after The Amazing Spider-Man, plans for the sequel are moving right along. We recently learned that Shailene Woodley (The Descendants) has been offered the role of Mary Jane Watson, Peter Parker's college girlfriend and eventual wife in the Marvel comic books and his paramour in the Sam Raimi-directed trilogy. And, only days ago, Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx (Ray) teased fans by tweeting that he had "dressed up as Electro for Halloween," the villain known to be menacing Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) in the sequel, a bold casting move that Webb seemed to confirm when he later called Foxx an "electrifying" actor.
The only other new character that is known to be appearing in the sequel and that does not yet have an actor's name attached is Harry Osborn, son of Norman Osborn, whose company was directly responsible for the creation of both Spider-Man and the Lizard (Rhys Ifans). In the comic books, as in Raimi's movies, Harry was Peter's friend until his father, wearing the guise of the Green Goblin, is killed during a battle with Spider-Man. Harry then takes up the mantle of the Goblin and sets out to destroy Spider-Man. James Franco got his big break by landing the role of Harry in Raimi's trilogy. Who do you think has what it takes to fill Franco's shoes and go tit for tat with Garfield in the sequel?

Happy New Year!
I generally like to say a new year for me, personally, begins with my birthday, but it was great to celebrate the start of 2011 with good friends. It meant more to me this time since I'm moving out of Atlanta in a week!
I realized I had never had my own NYE party... not one where I was the drinking age and could go out... Last night was definitely one long crazy night that I will never forget.. I laughed harder than I have in a long time, and it was just great to be around a group of people I'm so very fond of.
We even had great ideas for meals. My friend HLi decided to make pizzas from scratch for dinner, so we all came up with various ideas. Since I had worked on dessert, I let the boys do all the cooking. They did such a great job (as if I had any doubt). Joe made the yummiest steak pizza, and even a stuffed crust pizza that turned into a calzone... We made so many that I got full pretty quickly.
*I'm more excited now since I just checked the fridge and discovered more pizza dough in the back, with all the precut veggies/meats in ziploc bags... homemade pizza for the rest of the week! YES.
As for dessert, I really wanted to make something unique and delicious since it was the last get-together with my friends, and also the start of a new year!
For Joe's birthday this year, I had wanted to try something challenging since he's had everything I've made, and he already knows I can bake. I thought the amount of effort would show my love, so I went with a 16-layer cake idea....
For the filling, I made white, dark, milk, and mocha mousse layers. I was going for a gradient but I clearly need to work on my leveling skills...
I also decided to pour a half teaspoon of Chambord (raspberry liqueur) over each cake slice. Funnily enough, I think that's why I ended up not liking the cake so much, and why everyone else did... For my ideal cake, I like something crunchy in it, like chocolate chips of some sort.. and definitely no fruit mixed with chocolate (I'm still easing into that)!
I used my favorite chocolate frosting for the outside. It's so classic, silky and smooth just as a frosting should be. I will never make any other chocolate frostings ever again. This is the one! It just makes everything taste better.
Either way, the cake is deliciously serious. He was turning 24 on the 24th so I had considered a 24 layer cake, but I was more just terrified it was going to fall over, so I just went as high as I felt comfortable, and that happened to be about 16!
Joe's extended family was visiting, but the fact that a 9-inch 16 layer cake disappeared within 24 hours of being served is still pretty impressive. He said some of them ate it before and after meals!
They were great for post-gaming after a ridiculous night!
Although the little ones still took me about a day to work on, I had some free time the night before and decided to try some jelly shots. According to my brief research, jello shots are for kids, and jellY shots are the classier version...
I only had Chambord on hand so I made raspberry lemonade shots.
They were delicious! They definitely didn't have a shot in them, or maybe I cut them too small. But they were yummy and fun to eat. And fun to photograph... and fun to poke at. I love anything in jello form. This may be the start of something new on the blog, something... gelatinous...
The ten of us ended up sleeping in my room, and although it was a tight fit, it was fun. We woke up in the morning and HLi made us pancakes! Complete with whipped topping! And some scrambled eggs, which I didn't get to photograph because I pretty much inhaled them. I love eggs.
So, what did YOU do for New Year's? :)

2013 NSRA Street Rod Nationals PlusWritten by on February 3, 2014 Swap Meet and 29 Below
Swap Meet
Despite the fact that there are acres of new parts on display in the nearby air-conditioned buildings, there are those among us who can't resist the opportunity presented by the outdoor swap meet. It's the place to participate in automotive archeology by digging through piles of vintage parts, exploring the intricacies of abandoned projects, or finding that elusive great deal.
While not the biggest swap meet to be found, this year's edition did contain some treasures as well as the usual assortment of "optimistic" asking prices. Sought-after sheetmetal continues to be pricey, however the broadening of the traditional definition of street rods (read 1950s and 1960s cars) seems to have resulted in a "market adjustment" of sorts. Prices on many early cars and parts seemed slightly lower than in the past, while later-model machines and components seemed higher. But then trying to get the best deal possible is part of the process, so asking prices and selling prices are often two different numbers. And swap meets are a game of numbers.
29 Below
One question often asked by those in our hobby is "where will the new crop of street rodders come from?" If this year is any indication, we'd say the seeds have been planted by Vintage Air's 29 Below program.
Over the past 18 years the team at Vintage Air has hosted a special display of street rods owned by the youngsters at the Nats—and while we all like to think of ourselves young at heart, only those under 29 years of age qualify to participate.
Along with Vintage Air, a number of the biggest names in the business support the Below 29 program, including Painless Performance Products, ididit, and Classic Instruments, and each donates gift certificates to participants chosen at random.
This year's winners are:
Kyle Schneider — Plymouth, IN
Vintage Air Complete Universal or SureFit System
Nicholas Dant — Louisville, KY
Vintage Air Maradyne 16-inch HD Electric Fan
Samuel Davis — Williamsburg, KY
ididit Steering Column Certificate
Jerred Gibson — Louisville, KY
Painless Performance Products 65 percent off of a wiring harness
Aaron Peterson — Louisville, KY
Classic Instruments $100 off a complete set of gauges
Harley Samuels — Louisville, KY
Classic Instruments $100 off a complete set of gauges
Congratulations are in order for Jack Chisenhall and Rick Love of Vintage Air and John McLeod of Classic Instruments who put their time and energy into the program, as well as all those who made donations. Thanks to all those involved the new crop of street rodders is growing.

This 1950 Chevy carried a $20,000 asking price and a long list of modifications, including a 350 SBC, 700-R4, IFS, and four-wheel disc brakes, for starters. Along with nice body and paint, this car attracted lots of attention.For someone looking for a vintage powerplant, this 1965 401 Buick V-8 was offered for $1,100. It was said to be a runner with 60,000 miles.Another example of a desirable "later" car was this 1950 Ford Tudor. A solid car with good body and a fair repaint, under the hood was a Flathead bored 0.060-inch oversize with a 4-inch Merc crank. Asking price was $17,900.Offering plenty of headroom, this 1926 Model T Ford is slightly cramped when it uses a chaise lounge. Looking like it was a stocker one day and a street rod the next, the sedan is powered by a V-6 Chevy and carried a $20,000 asking price.Original 1932 Ford five-window coupe bodies are getting harder to find, and this example had two items that are often even more difficult to locate—garnish moldings and a clean title. Asking price for it all was $25,000.For those with larger tastes, this 1957 Buick was available for $5,800. The three portholes in the fender indicate the two-door is a Special series (Century and Roadmaster versions had four). The side trim was battered and held on with screws, but the usually broken grille was in great shape.What could be described as a little different project, this 1962 Nash Metropolitan came with a 350-inch, 335-horse Chevy crate motor. A Mustang frontend and 9-inch Ford rear has been installed, along with disc brakes all around. Asking price was $8,200.This Cragar six-carb log manifold looked like it had never been bolted to an engine and made us wish we had an Olds engine to put it on—asking price was $475. The ARC underdash 45-rpm record player carried a $500 price tag.
When it was time to pick recipients of gift certificates Rick Love was capably assisted by this dapper young man as his older sister looks on.The 29 Below area may be the best indicator yet of where the hobby is going. The wide variety of cars brings new life to the hobby and fits in perfectly with the Street Rod Nationals Plus theme.

1971 Buick Skylark - Wheel To Wheel Powertrain - Chassis Dyno TestingWritten by on January 22, 2007 How To Get The Most From Your Time On The Dyno
'While you might consider buying testing time on a vehicle chassis dyno an expensive luxury, we hope you'll at least read this article to consider the possibilities. If anything, what we experienced in creating this story wasn't what we expected, but the safety, durability, and performance unleashed would have definitely been more painful to discover and resolve without time on the chassis rolls. To learn the most we could possibly learn, we partnered with the pros at Wheel to Wheel Powertrain (W2W), in Madison Heights, Michigan, as we ran a vehicle through its paces on the company's four-wheel-drive Mustang chassis dyno.
The Setup
So we dug up a pretty common vehicle for Car Craft: a barely streetable, cool-to-look-at-and-see-driving, somewhat-fast-at-the-dragstrip and seemingly ready to go faster with a little tuning street/strip machine. This '71 Buick Skylark GS Stage 1 killer is replete with a Dyer's 6-71 wheezer adding to the street cred of this 468ci all-Buford ride. Owner Mike Kunkle bought the car mostly complete about a decade ago and has been tuning on it ever since with the idea of getting into the 10-second club in the quarter-mile.
He has always felt the engine made enough power to go 10s but has never had the engine or vehicle on a dyno. Previous runs at the dragstrip have resulted in tire-smoking elapsed times in the 12s, with trap speeds in the 108-mph range, and after the dyno tune, the car went 11.55 at 114 mph.
The issues this car was faced with were not unusual on the street, making it a good starting point for going to the chassis dyno. The goal was to find out if there were any simple fixes/upgrades that would result in "found" power and improve the chances of a more impressive e.t. Some unexpected finds helped minimize the chances of burning the car to the ground and inadvertently breaking parts, so we'll add that in hindsight-and you should, too-when you test at the chassis dyno.
The Experience
If you haven't seen a chassis dyno in action, here's the deal. There is a lot of setup time, the actual testing is brief but exciting, and the resulting power numbers are usually numbing-but not in a good way. Invariably, enthusiasts think their vehicles make much more power at the wheels than they really do. In fact, as far as we're concerned, there should be a special private room in which to share the power numbers for the first time-as this is usually gut-wrenching.
The testing with this Buick wasn't unusual in any of those respects. W2W dyno operator Rich Gala drove the vehicle onto the chassis dyno and positioned it so the rear wheels were over one set of the dyno rollers (this is a four-wheel-drive dyno, so in this case, only one set of rollers was used). Large straps were used to lock the vehicle down onto these rollers, and powerful fans directed at the radiator and under the vehicle kept everything cool during the runs.
The W2W dyno can record air/fuel ratio O2 sensor data during a run, but this vehicle did not have an O2 sensor bung in the headers. To assist in the tuning, Denny Dera from the W2W fab shop installed a bung in the passenger header. This would prove to be valuable later on.
The Findings
Check out the photos and sidebars to see how the testing went and what you can learn from our pain. Without a doubt, the chassis dyno testing discoveries were more than just horsepower-the car is much safer and consistent. Now, the car should be able to make some laps at the dragstrip with the focus being on getting the car to hook at the line and using all the power it is making.
Kunkle is planning a new engine to produce the 600 rear-wheel horsepower W2W says he'll need to run in the 10s. He's a believer in chassis dynos and looks forward to coming back to the dyno rolls with his new engine installed to debug it before heading out to the dragstrip.
Dyno Testing Results
The chassis dyno is a brutally honest piece of equipment, but it tells you much more than just power output. If a vehicle is unsafe or unreliable, the dyno will expose it. We ran into multiple issues that needed to be resolved, and the vehicle is better for having corrected them.

The modern chassis dyno cell, like this Wheel to Wheel Powertrain (W2W) four-wheel-drive Mustang dyno cell, is designed to provide repeatable testing for every type of vehicle up to big horsepower race cars.Since vehicles spew serious amounts of exhaust during the wide-open-throttle (WOT) testing, W2W uses an evacuation exhaust system that consists of large fans sucking air through these oversized metal hoses and out through the roof.The process of mounting a vehicle onto a chassis dyno differs based on whether the dyno is installed in the floor or above ground (as the W2W dyno is). On an above-ground dyno, the vehicle is pulled onto a lift, as it being performed here, and raised up to the dyno floor.The Buick was backed onto the dyno until the powered tires were on the rolls-the power-absorbing steel drums the tires ride on. This vehicle only has the rear wheels powered, so the front rolls were not used. A four-wheel-drive vehicle would have all its tires on rolls and is much more difficult to strap down, as it actually floats on the rolls during the testing.W2W chassis dyno operator Rich Gala is skilled at strapping vehicles to the dyno. The positioning of the tie-down straps and the tension on them is critical to keep the vehicle in place during the testing. Various recording connections are also hooked up at this point, like engine rpm, manifold vacuum/boost, O2 exhaust gas, and others that the dyno records along with power output for future reference in problem and power research.Since vehicles are designed to shed heat via the air rushing through the radiator and under the vehicle, a chassis dyno needs to have a dramatic amount of air pushed through the radiator and under the vehicle. The W2W dyno uses a series of these high-volume and high-pressure squirrel fans and has a large fan pulling air throughout the entire dyno cell.As Gala put it, "I always make a baseline run without looking at anything as long as the timing is safe, then immediately check that the throttle blades are opening 100 percent. I've had some great finds. On a recent 450hp vehicle test, we gained 30 hp by getting the throttle fully open. I usually find single-digit horsepower with this one check." In this case, Kunkle had addressed the issue the previous year, and the throttle blades were opening 100 percent.OK, so this is the brutal part. Just about every enthusiast believes his vehicle makes more power than it really does. Before going to the dyno, prepare yourself for the reality and try to focus on just making solid improvements in power, reliability, and durability.
Gala used a timing light to determine both the initial and final ignition timing. The Buick had 32 degrees of timing advance in it, which seemed conservative. So a few runs were made with 3 degrees more timing advance in them, which resulted in what appeared to be a 6hp gain.They found a blown-out intake gasket was so gone (see gasket closeup), it's hard to believe the engine ran at all. Kunkle also found a wide spray of fuel and oil on the firewall. A new gasket was installed and the blower case was torqued down onto the one-off intake manifold.The W2W team (now including General Manager Kurt Urban) thought there was a problem with the carburetors because the engine was cycling on idle speed. But on further investigation, a serious vacuum leak was discovered between the blower and intake manifold. The vehicle was removed from the chassis dyno to be tested again another day.During one of the later power runs, when the engine was making good power and Gala was legging it up the rpm band, the engine bay gave off a large flash of fire and a plume of smoke. Gala immediately shut down the car and looked under the hood. After some time inspecting the vehicle, he discovered the dipstick tube was not installed securely, which dumped hot oil out of the engine oil pan onto the headers at high rpm. Ace W2W machinist Bill Blair whittled up a stainless tube that press-fit into the block and held the dipstick at the proper height. Problem solved with a minimum of damage and fright.As the testing progressed, the W2W team kept noticing the boost for the engine was only in the 9-psi range at peak rpm. They felt the engine should be seeing at least 10 psi or more, so they ordered a set of slightly overdriven pulleys from Dyer's Blowers in Summit, Illinois. The crank pulley needed to be redrilled to fit this application, but otherwise, the pulleys bolted on and netted a little boost in overall power. The final analysis was that the 6-71 blower either needed to be spun much harder or an 8-71 blower needed to be called in to service the big-block Buick to more horsepower. But that will be a project for another day. We learned a lot, the car is much more consistent, and it made a little more horsepower along the way.After each major discovery, which included the intake-gasket leak, blown transmission, and leaking dipstick, the vehicle was removed from the chassis dyno, repaired, and brought back. Was this frustrating? Are you kidding? Yes, it sucked, but it was more educational than going to the dragstrip-and everyone is confident the car would've burned to the ground without this dyno day.

I invite you to take part in our annual Friends and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Guyana (FROG) calendar sales drive. Since launching in 2007, we are in our sixth year as a non-profit and are very excited for the challenges and triumphs we will face in the upcoming year.
FROG began when several Guyana RPCVs were looking for opportunities to give back to the people and nation that had given so much to us during our 2+ years of Peace Corps service. FROG is designed to facilitate and improve communication and information exchange in support of economic, educational, cultural, and social development in Guyana. This is accomplished through collaboration with current Guyana Peace Corps Volunteers and by partnering with local non-governmental organizations. Fund raising through activities, like this calendar sale, will help our organization continue to help others and all proceeds will directly benefit those in greatest need.
FROG is currently looking to raise funds for development activities in Guyana through the sale of calendars, and we would like to offer one to you! Last year, 2013, again we raised close to $1,500 through our calendar sales. We have been selling calendars since 2008 and have risen close to $5,500 just from selling calendars. It is a great fund raiser! From the money we raised this year we have funded multiple projects, which are highlighted in our newsletter. Funding all of these proposals is only possible with the help of this fund raiser. If you bought a calendar last year THANK-YOU very much! This year we hope to top our calendar sales of 2012.
"The International Calendar," produced by our fellow RPCVs from Madison, WI, features the richness and diversity of world cultures with its captivating pictures, first-hand stories, indigenous designs, country statistics, holidays, celestial events, regional recipes, book reviews and music and film recommendations.

Commerce City, CO (Sports Network) - Obafemi Martins tallied his first goal
for Seattle Sounders FC as the club claimed its first victory of the season,
1-0, over the Colorado Rapids at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Saturday.
Martins netted the lone goal in the 27th minute after Rapids goalkeeper Clint
Irwin saved a shot from Shalrie Joseph, bringing an end to a five-match
winless streak for Seattle.
Colorado had chances after the break, but was twice denied by the woodwork,
snapping a two-match winning streak.
It took until the 27th minute for the match to really spring to life, and
Joseph's shot was teed up by Steve Zakuani, while Martins was on hand to knock
home the rebound from 10 yards.
The Nigerian nearly turned provider a few minutes later when he played Lamar
Neagle in on goal, only for the shot to come back off the crossbar.
Colorado was much better after the break and Dillon Powers rolled a shot just
wide from the edge of the penalty area before Brian Mullan's right-wing cross
was nodded off the crossbar by Atiba Harris on the hour mark.
Irwin kept the Rapids within a goal when he parried a powerful shot from
Neagle in the 72nd, but the closest the home side came to an equalizer was an
85th-minute volley from Kamani Hill which struck the post.

|Vaccination takes a shot at flu this season
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Flu shots take a good stab at warding off the flu, and reduced-price clinics are under way in Holyoke.
Family Practice of Holyoke sponsors the seasonal clinics at SunSet View Community Center four nights in a two-week period.
Family Practice manager Sheila Robinson said last week's clinics found them giving 104 flu shots on Tuesday and 82 on Thursday.
Flu shot clinics were also scheduled this week at SunSet View on Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30-7 p.m.
Alex Brinkema, age 1, takes it all in stride as his turn comes up for a flu shot at the Tuesday, Oct. 8 clinic coordinated by Melissa Memorial Hospital staff at SunSet View Community Center. Pictured from left are Shawn Borland, Sheila Robinson, Alex and his dad Ross Brinkema and his supportive cousin, Marren Dirks.
With very few exceptions, everyone who is at least 6 months of age should get a flu vaccine this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Robinson said they've had all ages of people at the local flu clinics, including quite a few children. She said the kids have been great in tolerating the shots.
Melissa Memorial Hospital pharmacy director Pat Notter confirmed that the local flu clinics administer the standard three-strand or trivalent vaccines.
CDC explains that the seasonal flu vaccine protects against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season. The trivalent vaccine protects against an influenza A (H1N1) virus, an influenza A (H3N2) virus and an influenza B virus.
Notter said there is an egg-free trivalent shot and a nasal spray vaccine on the market, but those are not available through MMH.
CDC recommends three actions to fight the flu.
—Take time to get a flu vaccine.
—Take everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of germs.
—Take flu antiviral drugs if prescribed by a doctor.
Influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. The seasonal flu season in the United States can begin as early as October and last as late as May.
During this time, flu viruses are circulating in the population. CDC emphasizes that an annual flu vaccine is the best way to reduce the chances for getting season flu and spreading it to others.
When more people get vaccinated against the flu, less flu can spread through that community.
Robinson said that as of Monday, Oct. 14, no reported cases of influenza had been seen at Family Practice of Holyoke.
CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against flu viruses. Vaccination of high-risk persons is especially important to decrease their risk of severe flu illness.
People at high risk of serious flu complications include young children, pregnant women, people 65 years and older and people with chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease.
Vaccination is also important for health care workers and others who live with or care for high-risk people. Notter said the flu vaccine has been offered to all hospital employees as they take their responsibility to the community seriously.
Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body about two weeks after vaccination. These antibodies provide protection against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine.
CDC says a flu vaccine is needed every year because flu viruses are constantly changing. Also, multiple studies conducted over different seasons and across vaccine types and influenza virus subtypes have shown that the body's immunity to influenza viruses declines over time.
Flu-like symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people also may have vomiting and diarrhea. People may be infected with the flu and have respiratory symptoms without a fever.
Preventive actions to stop the spread of germs include such things as avoiding close contact with sick people, washing one's hands often with soap and water and cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu.
If one is sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends staying home for at least 24 hours after a fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. While sick, people should limit contact with others as much as possible.
CDC also says to avoid touching one's eyes, nose and mouth as germs spread this way.
CDC notes that antiviral drugs can treat the flu. They are a prescription medicine but are different from antibiotics. They can make illness milder and shorten the time one is sick. Additionally, they may prevent serious flu complications.

Cyclones Fall To TCU
FORT WORTH, Texas- The Iowa State soccer team (8-8-2) dropped a close match to the TCU Horned Frogs (6-8-3), 1-0, Friday at the Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium.
Turning point of the game
In the 68th minute, TCU's Michelle Prokof found her way through the Cyclone defense to score the games lone goal. Before that point the Cyclones had controlled most of the game, but were unable to score any goals to show for it. Iowa State was able to fire 22 shots with 10 being on goal in comparison to the Horned Frogs who had eight shots with two being on goal.
Discuss it now. Visit our Facebook page to have your say on the turning point of today's game.
Cyclone game ball goes to…
Jessica Reyes. The senior led the way for the Cyclones with five shots with two being on goal. She was able to find teammates for open looks late in the game to give Iowa State the opportunity to tie the game. The Cyclones had a number of shots that bounced off the top of the cross bar instead of finding the back of the net. Iowa State was able to get good looks at the TCU goal, but was unable to capitalize.
Cyclone Nation, who was your player of the game? Tweet the player along with the hashtag #CyclONEgameball to @cycloneSCR and we'll announce the fan's pick later before Sunday's game.
Cyclone notes
* Iowa State was able to fire 14 more shots than the Horned Frogs.
* Senior goalkeeper Maddie Jobe improved her career saves total to 311, the second most in Cyclone history

Sharp fined for botched kidney removal
San Diego The state fined two local hospitals Thursday for preventable errors that led to one patient's death and caused another to rely on dialysis for the rest of his life.
The California Department of Public Health fined Sharp Memorial Hospital $100,000 for an incident in which surgeons mistakenly removed a 53-year-old man's healthy kidney. It also levied a $50,000 penalty against Alvarado Hospital for a case involving an elderly patient who fell out of bed, hit her head on the floor and died.
Sharp and Alvarado were among nine hospitals in the state that were fined a total of $775,000 on Thursday for errors that put patients in "immediate jeopardy" of serious injury or death.
Sharp HealthCare officials said they regret the surgical mistake. Dan Gross, the network's executive vice president of hospital operations, said the patient received an apology quickly after the mix-up was discovered.
"More than anything, we have made a commitment to (him) to do everything in our power to have this not happen again," Gross said.
The patient, Paul Kibbett of Escondido, sued Sharp and several doctors for unspecified damages on Aug. 7, 2012, alleging medical negligence and battery.
His attorney, Virginia Nelson, said the problems started on Jan. 3, 2012, at Palomar Medical Center, where Kibbett, who suffers from cerebral palsy, had a CT scan that detected a cancerous mass in his right kidney.
There was an initial scan mix-up that identified the left kidney as needing removal, but that mistake was quickly corrected, according to the state's report on the Kibbett incident. But by the time Kibbett underwent surgery at Sharp Memorial on Jan. 19, 2012, his medical records again listed the left kidney as requiring removal.
Though Sharp Memorial policy said physicians should have the patient's X-rays or CT scans present in the operating room before surgery begins, the lead surgeon in this procedure, according to the state, "forgot the necessary login information needed to access the images remotely."
That surgeon, whom Kibbett identified in his lawsuit as Dr. Evan Vapnek, decided to remove the left kidney without the radiological verification, according to the state report.
Dr. Geoffrey Stiles, Sharp Memorial's chief medical officer, said it wasn't possible to reattach the healthy kidney. And it was still necessary to remove the cancerous right kidney. Stiles said the patient doesn't qualify for a transplanted kidney from a donor, meaning that he will need ongoing dialysis to survive.
Kibbett's lawsuit names Sharp, Vapnek and doctors Thomas Jones and James Roberts as defendants. Two other parties were initially listed, but have settled or are in the process of being dismissed from the suit, Nelson said.
Nelson also said Kibbett lives with his sister and legal guardian, Karen Brousseau, who declined to discuss the case Thursday.
"He and his family will live with the awful consequences of this for the rest of his life," Nelson said.
Vapnek said in an email that Sharp provided to U-T San Diego this week: "Helping patients heal is my life's work, and I have never felt such personal anguish as I did when we discovered the wrong kidney had been removed. I have expressed my sincere regret to the patient and the family over this tragic incident, and Sharp has been diligently providing the additional care required. With the assistance of my colleagues and the staff at Sharp, I have rededicated my practice to make every effort possible to prevent such an error from happening again."
Gross, the Sharp operations executive, said Vapnek's record is otherwise unblemished, adding that he has retained his operating privileges at Sharp Memorial.
Jones and Roberts didn't respond Thursday evening to a request for comment.

FORT MEADE, Md. (WUSA) --- Military members and their families in Maryland will have access to a new and expanded USO center. It is the largest military installation in the state.
USO of Metropolitan Washington (USO-Metro) celebrated the grand opening of the center, Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013.
Business leaders, senior military leaders, representatives of elected officials and WWE Superstar David Otunga all joined in the joyous occasion.
The new center is designed to meet the needs of the garrison's growing population. USO-Metro serves more than 500,000 troops and their families living in the Washington-Baltimore region.
"Thanks to the incredibly generous support of many local companies and the surrounding community, USO-Metro can continue to fulfill its mission of lifting the spirits of America's troops and their families," said Elaine Rogers, President and CEO of USO-Metro.
"This Fort Meade USO Center will provide so much comfort and joy to our Fort Meade military community through a whole host of our signature programs and events."
USO Centers provide a "home-away-from-home" for military service members and their families. The Fort Meade USO Center is staffed by volunteers and offers complimentary programs and services including community events, emergency housing, food assistance and holiday programs.
The Center, located at 8612 6th Armored Cavalry Road, features cable television, Wi-Fi, video gaming, a computer lab, a theatre room, a food pantry and a large patio and outdoor seating area.
"The USO's new location near the Defense Information School student barracks is a great location fitting of the amazing work the USO continues to do for the Fort, and gives them better exposure to Fort Meade's growing and diverse service member population," said Fort Meade Garrison Commander Col. Edward C. Rothstein.

1931 Ford Highboy Roadster - Livin' The DreamWritten by Chuck Vranas on November 13, 2009 Paul Howard's '31 Ford Highboy Roadster Is Everything He Had Hoped For
By the time Paul Howard of West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, was ready to enter high school, he was a regular at the Elm Square Pharmacy where he would buy countless "little pages," studying what was happening in the world of hot rodding. Knowing that his parents believed hot rods were the Devil's handiwork, he would stash his magazine collection under his mattress. While letting them believe he was doing homework, he was really absorbing everything he could from countless features and tech articles; everything from Bonneville to the dry lakes.
When he got his license, Paul already had some of the parts to build his first hot rod: a '34 Ford pickup. While the sheetmetal left a lot to be desired (with signature East Coast deterioration), it had a strong flathead and more than enough attitude to wake the neighbors whenever he hit the local streets.
After graduating from high school, Paul enlisted in the Air Force and began work as an aircraft mechanic. While home on leave, he purchased a stock '30 Model A roadster, which served as his transportation for many years. After completing his tour, he met his wife Marge, settled down, and started a family. As life moved on, he sold his cars but never forgot his roots in hot rodding.
Flashing forward to 1990, Paul received a call from an old friend who offered him a complete flathead drivetrain freshly plucked from an old Ford that was getting modernized. Harkening back to his youth this was the jump start he'd been waiting for: to finally have a chance to build the hot rod of his dreams. Suddenly his years of reading and studying books by Don Montgomery became real and his passion for the prewar-styled, lakes-influenced Model A roadster was about to come to life. Paul just so happened to have a mint '31 Ford frame, which had been stored in his parents' basement for decades. This would act as a perfect base for the project. Wasting no time, he prepared a list of needed parts and began to scour local swap meets while also networking with friends, like Brian Foley, to locate everything to build the rolling chassis. Working in his small home garage, Paul began the fabrication and assembly process, beginning with the frontend. Wanting the car to be a study in simplicity, he expertly matched a '32 Ford axle with a '34 Ford wishbone and '40 Ford spindles combined with a '32 Ford spring and Pete and Jakes shocks. Out back, a '39 Ford rearend spinning 3.78:1 gears was secured into place along with split '39 Ford 'bones. Using a Model A spring minus a few leafs and Pete and Jakes shocks keeps everything grounded while '40 Ford brakes at the corners ensure plenty of stopping power. To maintain the classic look, the chassis rolls on a set of original Ford steelies sized 16x4 in front and 16x5 in back wrapped with Coker Firestone bias-ply piecrust tread; 4.50 fore and 7.00 aft.
Hoping to cover thousands of miles with the car once completed, Paul enlisted Walt DuPont to handle the flathead V-8 build. Starting with a '41 Ford block, Walt machined it to 239 ci and began to fill it with all the right stuff, including an 8BA crank and rods, 8:1 slugs, and a Literio L-100 stick. He then topped it with Edelbrock finned aluminum heads, and made sure there was plenty of deep breathing, thanks to a Thickstun PM-7 intake topped with a pair of Holley 94-series carbs. Headers from Patrick's matched up with exhaust fashioned from '36 Ford driveshaft tubes, which lets the engine exhale a hearty note since there are no mufflers. The transmission is the only concession to anything modern via a Borg Warner T5 coupled to a vintage shift handle while a custom driveshaft by Cape Cod Axle & Driveshaft provides the final link.
Living in the rust belt, there was a slim chance Paul would find a decent body to work with, so he contacted Brookville Roadster to order one of their '31 Ford roadster bodies. Once it was fitted to the chassis, he had Russell Daly chop the windshield and top 3 inches to give the car a signature look. After the hood top was louvered by Roy Idman the car was disassembled and sent over to Coffey's Hot Rod & Custom to work their magic and massage everything to perfection. With the bodywork completed, Bob Coffey laid down a lustrous coating of DuPont black gloss followed by Alex Olivera who lettered the doors and pinstriped the car. To complete the interior, Paul built a custom bench seat, which he covered with a LeBaron Bonney red vinyl pleated material. The Model A dash was filled with stock gauges while a simple underdash panel houses Stewart Warner instruments. A '39 Ford steering wheel sets the path while a '37 Chevrolet heater keeps the confines of the interior cozy for those early morning starts. Completing the car is a bitchin' top in black cloth by Fred Carello.
Paul's wife Marge gets plenty of credit for all of her support throughout the build making sure that the project never got stalled. To date Paul has accumulated over 50,000 miles on his roadster. When asked what his finest moment with the car was thus far, he quickly responded telling us about his road trip to Bonneville in 2008 with the Rolling Bones for the 60th anniversary of Speed Week. Talk about living the dream.

WASHINGTON (USA Today) -- Democrat Daniel Inouye, the U.S. Senate's most senior member and a Medal of Honor recipient for his bravery during World War II, has died. He was 88.
He died of respiratory complications, according to the Associated Press.
As president pro tempore of the Senate, Inouye was third in line of presidential succession -- after Vice President Biden and House Speaker John Boehner. First elected to the Senate in 1962, Inouye's tenure is second only to Democrat Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
Perhaps more than any other politician, Inouye has been a dominating presence in Hawaii's history. He has represented Hawaii continuously since it achieved statehood in 1959, first in the U.S. House and then in the U.S. Senate, where he used his seat on the powerful Appropriations Committee to send federal dollars back home for a host of projects. Inouye has served on the commitee since 1971, and became chairman in 2009.
Inouye was a proud supporter of "earmarks," the special pet projects of senators, which were banned in the Senate in 2010. Inouye won approval for $392.4 million in earmarks in fiscal 2010, according to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics.
Throughout his life, Inouye was a witness to some of the nation's most historic moments, first as a teen-aged Red Cross volunteer who tended to the wounded when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. He was keynote speaker at the tumultuous 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Inouye would later serve as a member of the Senate committee investigating the Watergate scandal in the 1970s and chairman in the 1980s of the panel investigating the Reagan administration's sale of arms to Iran, whose proceeds were used to fund Nicraguan rebels in what became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
Yet it was on the battlefields in Europe during World War II where Inouye first earned distinction. At a time when the federal government placed thousands of Japanese Americans into relocation camps, Inouye and his Asian-American peers petitioned the White House for the right to serve in the military. He dropped out of school to join the Army's 442nd Regimental Combat Team, made up of second-generation Japanese-Americans known as Nisei.
In 1944, Inouye narrowly avoided death in France when a bullet struck him in the chest and hit two silver dollars he carried in his shirt pocket for good luck. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross in 1945 for his heroism in 1945 during a battle in Italy near the town of Terenzo. Inouye and his unit were pinned down by fire. Already wounded by a bullet to his mid-section, Inouye was lobbing hand grenades at the enemy when his right arm was almost completely severed by an enemy grenade launcher.
With his left arm, Inouye reached over to pry the live grenade out of his debilitated arm. Hours later while receiving treatment at an Army hospital, Inouye's right arm was amputated. During his recovery in the hospital, Inouye became friends with a fellow American soldier named Bob Dole -- who later became a U.S. senator from Kansas. Inouye and Dole would often work together on issues when Dole was Senate Republican leader.
More than a half-century after the battle at Terenzo, President Bill Clinton awarded Inouye and 21 other Japanese-American soldiers the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest civilian honor. At the ceremony in 2000, Clinton said the nation owes "an unrepayable debt" to Inouye and his fellow soldiers. "Rarely has a nation been so well-served by a people it ill-treated," Clinton said.
Inouye won election to a ninth Senate term in 2010 with 75% of the vote.
He is survived by his wife, Irene, a son, Ken, and a granddaughter named Maggie. Inouye's first wife, Margaret, died in 2006.

I wrote this document because I saw many people having problems with upgrading across OS versions. Using the following procedure, I was able to get around the "Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr" error caused by a newer version of perl. This is a 64 bit to 64 bit migration. I cant speak for a 32bit to 64 bit migration.
Additional goals were:
* Establish a way to upgrade the hardware (new cpu, larger hard drives, etc)
* Have a way to recover back to the starting point without having to go into full disaster recovery mode. If I upgrade in place, and the upgrade goes bad, I am faced with restoring from backup. With the following procedure, the "old" machine is not destroyed - it is just turned off. If the upgrade goes bad, I turn off the "new" machine and turn back on the "old" machine and I am immedately back to where I was before I started.
I tested this procedure multiple times by building two test machines and doing the following process multiple times while correcting the instructions each time until I could complete the process with no loss of data or any errors. Any feedback would be apriciated.
The total time to complete this on my production server was 3 1/2 hours (excluding the time to install Centos 6 on the new machine), however 2 1/2 hours of that was copying 44 gig of data from the old server to the new server. The long time for copying the files was due to (a) I dont have the most screaming latest processor/drives/etc and (b) I was upgrading from one virtual machine to another virtual machine - both of which were on the same box.
Although I only did this w/ the open source version, I would expect this to work just as well with the network edition. The following is from my own experience. I canot speak for any other Linux versions or even gaurantee it will work for you. YMMV.
=First Install Centos 6.2 on new machine=
==Installation Requirements==
* Assign this machine a new ip address - not the same ip address as the old server - but it must be routable so the new server can rsync to the old server. We will change the ip address later.
* during the Centos install - select the "Server" option
* name the new server the SAME as the old server! If the old server is named "mail.mydomain.com" you MUST name the new server "mail.mydomain.com" ANY change to this and the upgrade WONT WORK
==Post install actions==
* Edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux and change SELINUX=enforcing to be SELINUX=disabled
* Edit /etc/hosts and put a line in that reads ip.address.new.server fqdn.ofold.server
* execute the following:
yum -y install openssh-clients nc vim-enhanced sysstat telnet logwatch bind-utils gmp libstdc++.so.6
chkconfig postfix off
service postfix stop
yum -y update
* execute visudo - find the line "Defaults requiretty" and remark it out (put a # at the start of the line)
* configure ip tables to accept inbound ssh connections - and nothing else.
* reboot
=Install OLD version of Zimbra Open Source Edition on new server=
Get the EXACT same version you have on the old server (hopefully you saved the original tar file) and copy it on to the new server. Yes the old version is for Centos 5 and we are putting this on Centos 6 - but we wont be running it - just installing it.
* get the uid and gid for zimbra on the old server.
* create a group zimbra on the new server with the same gid as on the old server. Create a user zimbra with the same uid as on the old server. There are ways to get around not using the same uid and gid, however the work requred to get around if far more work than just creating a user with the correct uid/gid
* Start the install with the command "./install.sh -s --platform-override" Do NOT leave off the -s !
* Install the exact same modules as you have on the old server. Dont be trying to add or remove features at this time! If you dont remember the modules you have on the old server - go to the old server and execute "rpm -qa | grep zimbra" Make note if the following show up in your list:
** My list may be longer than yours as I have all modules installed. There will be some other RPMS listed in your list that are not above, but they will be installed automatically
==Copy the data from the old server to the new server==
The following may seem weird, but it works!
* on the old server, stop the zimbra server and fix it so it will not restart. Execute:
su -
service zimbra stop
chkconfig zimbra off
* On the new server
su -
rm -rf /opt/zimbra
rsync -aP old.server.ip.address:/opt/zimbra /opt
* Do NOT start zimbra on the new server
* Turn off the old server
* change the ip address on the new server to be the same as the old server. Confirm that the ip address change is working correctly via ssh (either ssh to the server and confirm you are on the new server or ssh from the new server to some other system where it will confirm what your ip address is)
=Upgrade new server to 7.1.3=
Yes - you read that correctly. I could not upgrade my server directly from 7.1.1 to 7.2. When I attempted to do so, the upgrade failed. So after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I discovered if I upgraded first to 7.1.3, I then could upgrade to 7.2
* from the zcs-7.1.3_GA_3346.RHEL6_64.20110928134428 directory execute:
su -
./install.sh --platform-override
* When prompted "Do you want to verify message store database integrity? [Y]" answer NO <--THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! If you answer yes your upgrade will fail.
* When prompted "Do you wish to upgrade? [Y]" answer yes
* if there are no errors during the install, procede to upgrade to version 7.2
=Upgrade to version 7.2=
* untar the 7.2 version and start the install using the command "./install.sh --platform-overide"
* This time, when prompted "Do you want to verify message store database integrity? [Y]" answer yes
* If you get the following message, and the errors are only "You can't use locks with log tables" dont worry. This is a "feature" of mysql.
Database errors found.
/opt/zimbra/mysql/bin/mysqlcheck --defaults-file=/opt/zimbra/conf/my.cnf -S /opt/zimbra/db/mysql.sock -A -C -s -u root --auto-repair --password=XXXXXXXX
Error : You can't use locks with log tables.
Error : You can't use locks with log tables.
* When prompted "Do you wish to upgrade? [Y]" answer yes
* When it is complete, review the logs (especially the /var/log/zimbra.log file for errors)
* using telnet, connect via port 110 to simulate a pop3 connection (see http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/...y_using_telnet) Use the list command to dermine the number of emails in the mailbox
* using telnet send an email to the above pop3 account (see How to Send Email Using Telnet: 12 steps - wikiHow)
* use telnet again to connect to pop3 on the same account. The number of emails in the mailbox should have increased.
* After you are satisified that everything is working, open up the needed ports in iptables. (If need be, refer to the iptables settings on the old server)
* Congradulations, you have upgraded to 7.2 on Centos 6!

(USA Today) -- NBC sports anchor Bob Costas channeled his inner Edward R. Murrow and Howard Cosell during halftime of last night's "Sunday Night Football" game between Philadelphia and Dallas, calling for stricter gun control in the wake of Saturday's murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher.
The 90-second segment, which quoted heavily from a column by FOX Sports columnist Jason Whitlock, ended with Costas making the following declaration.
'In the coming days, Jovan Belcher's actions and their possible connection to football will be analyzed. Who knows? But here, wrote Jason Whitlock, is what I believe. If Jovan Belcher didn't possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.''
