WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- I'll be the first to admit I'm not a exactly a prophet when it comes to sports predictions. Still, WUSA 9 is giving me this amazing platform to express my opinions on professional basketball. So why wouldn't I venture a few guesses into how the 2011-2012 NBA season will play out? It's a little long so buckle your seat belt.
Memphis Grizzlies
They are the new Spurs. Before you go and say 'The Spurs had Tim Duncan" take a look at Zach Randolph's stats from last season. This team was an eight seed last year and upset the Spurs without their best player in Rudy Gay. Something special is brewing in Tennessee; special enough that the Grizzlies will shock the world and represent the western conference in the finals.
Minnesota Timberwolves
A once drowning franchise will be a team swimming laps in the playoffs this season. The additions of potential rookie superstars Derrick Williams (think Chris Webber) and Ricky Rubio (think Rajon Rondo) to go along with the new proven head coach Rick Adelman are enough reasons to have me buying into the T-Wolves stock. Kevin Love is going to be quite a different player this season too. After honing in on his outside shot and losing 25 pounds, I'd expect Love to take on more of a Dirk Nowitzki role as a scoring small forward.
Indiana Pacers
I think the Pacers will be this year's version of the Memphis Grizzlies. Their front court of Roy Hibbert, Tyler Hansbrough, David West and Lou Amundson may be the deepest and most effective in the eastern conference. And I'm obsessed with the George Hill pickup at guard. Hill is extremely clutch -- taking pressure off of Danny Granger -- and will be team up masterfully with Darren Collison. I can envision this team in the second round of the playoffs or, dare I say, further?
Kobe Bryant
Everyone is counting out basketball's best player since Michael Jordan. The reasons are understandable. He's too old and injured. He has a coach he probably doesn't respect in Mike Brown. He's losing enough money in a divorce that could buy several small third world countries. I'll bet you this though: Kobe loves this new role of being doubted. It's like he's the new Tiger Woods to a lesser degree. He will relish in the media scrutiny. He will bask in today's world of on-demand Twitter doubters. Something tells me the Lakers roster will feature some new addition by the trade deadline. Unlike many experts, I don't foresee a Lakers collapse this season.
Jimmer Fredette
It won't quite meet the hype, but Jimmer will be the NBA's version of Tim Tebow. Fredette is way more exciting of a player than Tebow and has all the potential to get the whole country on his side, minus all the religious shenanigans (no offense). The problem? His Sacramento Kings are full of youth and lazy defenders, meaning the Kings won't have a good record. Jimmer does have natural scoring ability that will translate to the NBA. It is not out of the question to see him averaging 15 points per game this season.
Chicago Bulls
To me, the addition of Richard Hamilton at shooting guard won't be enough for the Bulls to make the leap forward to the NBA finals. Carlos Boozer will stuff a stat sheet, but he'll disappear in the playoffs when you need him the most. There's no questioning the Bulls will bring it defensively, but I can see defenses keeping last year's MVP Derrick Rose away from the rim this season.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Honestly, I find myself rooting for this team in almost every game they play in. I love how someone without muscles like Kevin Durant can be the most talented player in the league. The Thunder have the bench pieces in James Harden and Serge Ibaka. They have a defensive specialist in Thabo Sefolosha. But where are the veterans who will speak up? Durant is not exactly a fiery leader. Remember Russell Westbrook is steering this ship and not Jason Kidd or a true point guard. I get nervous on this teams shot selection late in big games. I expect another playoff disappointment from OKC.
Chris Paul
Is it just me or does Chris Paul look fatter, older and slower? This won't take away from his elite passing skills but my guess is that his knees are nowhere close to being ready for a grueling 66 game schedule in 120 days. The Clippers will obviously improve but with Paul playing at 75 percent, I think people need to tone down the hysteria surrounding the LA ball club.

Project Old School, Part VIWritten by on December 18, 2003 Chrome & Flames. Finally!
After many months of cutting, hammering, shaping, filling, welding, sanding, primering, and spraying, Project Old School finally has a coat of black suede on it. We left off last month by torching all four coils 'til the '64 was resting on the bumpstops and bolting on the new red steelies and wide whites from Stockton Wheel and Coker Tire, respectfully. We just had to give you (and ourselves) a little preview of the things to come. Well here it is! While we still have much to do with the interior, drivetrain, and suspension, we have finally conquered the exterior portion of the buildup.
Yeah, I know. We already shaved just about everything off of the truck, right? But there was still a substantial amount of work left--what I like to call "the fun stuff." For starters, we are installing the brand-new Brothers bumpers we picked up. Brothers, who already supplied us with the new front fenders and tailgate filler panel, carries pretty much every reproduction part ever made for the '60-66 trucks--so we knew we would be back. Added to our Brothers parts list were rear bumper brackets, as well as taillight lenses, bezels, and gaskets, a windshield rubber, and door-panel screws. If you recall the earlier stories, we swapped our Chevy frontend for a GMC unit we found at Chevy Truck Salvage in Santa Ana, California. We then supplied the GMC grille and headlight bezels to American Classic Truck Parts as cores, who, in return, sent us restored and re-chromed units that looked better than new. We filled the four headlight buckets with Adjure tri-bar units straight from the Southern Rods catalog.
But before we went bolting-on parts, we still had a few tricks up our sleeves out at Totally Polished. We decided that the front bumper would look better 1.5 inches closer to the body, which meant slicing off the ends of the frame and shortening and trimming accordingly before welding them back on. I also had another bright idea--flip the stock rear bumper and raise it up a bit. This required TP's Chris Daley to heavily modify the new brackets, but I think the final result is pretty cool. And, finally, remember how we were rapidly closing in on our planned debut at Paso Robles? Well, we were down to our last 72 hours when we bolted all the chrome on for the first time. Not only that, but while we were shooting this installment, we were also working on the suspension (which you'll be seeing next month). But in my mind, it wouldn't be a true debut unless Old School was flamed! I called in a favor to an old friend. Lance Laverty has been building show-winning trucks for over twenty years, and, more recently, helping to produce SEMA vehicles for the likes of Gaylord's and Street Scene. He showed up at TP with only a few hours notice with plans to perform one of his trademark flame jobs, which usually consists of several layers of multicolored flames achieved with masking, airbrushing, and pinstriping. I then explained how that wouldn't go with the theme of the truck. I needed a lot of pinstriped flames in white only, and they needed to look good--but not too good--like it was done really fast as an afterthought. Then I told him he had three or so hours to pull it off. He did it in two. What are friends for, right?
Follow along as Chris, Lance, and I, along with anyone else who stopped by on the way to Paso, finally make Old School presentable. And check back next month when we replace the torched coils and rusted drums with Airlift 'bags and CPP discs.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
With the countdown at roughly 72 hours, Faded Kolors' Lance Laverty got busy on Old School. He chalked out, per my instructions, "big, non-overlapping, old-style flames that are not quite symmetrical." To me, most of today's flame jobs have evolved from an art to a science. Old School had to be different. Chris and I managed to stay in Lance's way the entire time while we installed the new windshield (straight out the yellow pages, the '60-66 windshields are still readily available) along with the back window.Lance laid out a traditional set of flames on the hood and behind the front-wheel openings. Then he carried a third section of flames down the center section of the truck--which I suggested should go all the way to end of the bed, and I do believe I heard Lance mention something about my mother.Front and center on the hood, Lance left his trademark, the Faded Kolors' logo outlined with Von Dutch-style striping.Next on the agenda was sectioning the front of the frame so the bumper would fit closer to the body. After some careful measuring, Chris lopped off the end of each framerail.The top edge of the frame had a rise in it that was also trimmed, and the notch on the grille surround had to be enlarged slightly so it would not rub on the frame.Stockton Wheel made the "stock" steelies for Old School. They're actually stock centers with brand-new outer hoops that are 7 inches wide as opposed to the stock 5.5 inches. Stockton also provides a powdercoating service. We ordered ours up in Baron Red. To provide true one-stop shopping, Stockton even has a complete line of hubcaps and trim rings. Here we tried their ring and Chevy cap just for kicks.
We bolted up the tailgate using the stock hinges, but since we shaved the latches, we needed a quick fix to hold it closed.Mom and pop hardware to the rescue! These galvanized latches are not the most high-tech solution in the world, but that's precisely the point. And they work great.The GMC grille from American Classic was next to be installed. We were thoroughly impressed with the restoration and re-chroming job they did. From what they told us, there are not many good examples of this grille left. Using new, stainless hardware, we bolted-in the headlight buckets, which we previously sandblasted and painted. We also attached the center bracket and GMC letters that American Classic provided.Our new tri-bar headlights came from Southern Rods. They fit under the re-chromed bezel between the cup and ring.In order to accommodate the halogen bulb, the tri-bar headlights are larger in back than a standard sealed-beam headlight. The cups had to be opened up slightly.
...while the eight bolts were installed from the backside. The two outer holes were in the wheelwell. The two inner holes were down in front of the radiator.We were ready for our new front bumper from Brothers. It's triple-chrome plated and carries a lifetime warranty. Brothers also has bumpers available in raw steel for painting.Next was the rear bumper. Why are we showing it upside down, you ask? Because that's the way we installed it.We thought the '60-66 rear bumpers were perfectly flat, but the bottom edge actually protrudes out a bit farther than the front. We had to make it flat for our plan to work. So we taped it up to protect the chrome and ground it down.You can see that the inner bumper brackets for the rear had to be heavily modified for the bumper flip. Chris sliced the ends off and determined the correct length and angle before making a second cut. Then the ends were swapped and welded back to the brackets. Like the front, the change in length of the center bracket required the holes to be elongated on the outer brackets.
Brothers also carries the bezels, gaskets, and lenses for '60-66 trucks. We sandblasted our old housings and painted them prior to installation.The gasket and lens was then screwed into the housing. Check out how closely that bumper fits to the bed.I'm not really concentrating on the interior as of yet, but I had to make it Paso--presentable. I bolted the smooth door panels onto the smooth doors with screws from Brothers. Since I had no door glass yet, I put chrome plugs in the window crank holes.I put the gauge panel back in, along with the glovebox door, and put the horn ring and button back on the stock white steering wheel. I threw a black carpet remnant and four-dollar rubber floor mats on the floor, then painted the areas of the floor that weren't covered flat black. Finishing off my no-buck, one-hour interior is the very first part I bought for Old School--the all-important Mexican blanket, in matching colors, of course!
Well, another day, another... night without sleep. This project is really starting to take shape, so don't miss next month when we rip out the stock suspension, set up front discs and airbags, and hit the road for Paso.

Homes evacuated Tuesday night
Published: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 8:41 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 8:41 a.m.
Homes in the 600 block of 10th street were evacuated late Tuesday night after vandals left soda bottles in the street. The bottles burst from the reacting chemicals they contained.
Wilmington Police Cpl. Kevin Smith said about 9:30 p.m. police were called out to incidents on both 10th Street and the 1300 block of Queen Street. One bottle exploded on Queen and one on 10th. Smith said two bottles on 10th street didn't explode.
Often called acid bombs, the explosives are actually soda bottles in which someone mixes common household chemicals, like vinegar and baking soda. The opposing chemicals cause a gas which inflates the bottle until it burst, often causing a loud popping noise and could injure someone.
Smith said because law enforcement is "sensitive" after the Boston Marathon bombings of April 15, homes in the area were evacuated for about an hour.
"These kinds of things are indicative of juveniles," he said.
A bomb squad team member was called out to render the remaining bottles safe, and residents were let back into their homes by 11 p.m., Smith said.
The incident in under investigation. Perpetrators of such pranks could be charge with misdemeanor vandalism, or even felony going armed in terror of the public, Smith said.

text: By Russ PankoninThe Imperial Republican Irrigators will get the opportunity to comment on a slight reduction in annual allocation and increased limits on carryforward use during a hearing on the issue Tuesday, Feb. 12. The hearing will begin at 10 a.m. at the Upper Republican Natural Resources District headquarters in Imperial. The two primary issues in the proposed rules focus on the new allocation for the next five years and carryforward use. On a split vote, the board is recommending a 12.5-inch allocation for the next five-year period. The proposal also carries a provision that limits the use of carryforward to a total of five inches during the allocation period. Additional carryforward can be used but those inches will count double instead of a one-to-one basis. The previous five-year allocation ending in 2012 was 13 inches per year. The slight reduction in allocation is proposed to help the URNRD hit its pumping targets outlined in its Integrated Management Plan. The district's pumping allocation from the state stands at 425,000 acre-feet. The current IMP also calls for a 1 percent reduction in that allotment. Due to drought conditions last summer, the pumping across the district averaged 18 inches in 2012. This exceeds the district's average pumping of just under 12 inches per year. The hearing will also address pooling rules. Pooling allows farmers to put or "pool" tracts together so the combined allocation can be shared amongst all the tracts in the pool. Presently, the actual use on each tract is charged against a tract. This allows for more pumping on one tract than another. Even if a tract goes into negative allocation balance, pumping can continue on that tract as long as overall pool average remains positive. Going forward, the allocation on each tract will be averaged across all tracts in the pool, which can be or no greater size than a township (six miles square) or a floating township. Tracts being added to a pool can bring in no more than three years of annualized allocation.Hearing on Land Acquisition On Tuesday, Feb. 5, the URNRD will hold a hearing in Benkelman to address the possibility of further land acquisition. The meeting will be held a the Benkelman Community Center, 908 Huron Street, beginning at 6 p.m. URNRD Manager Jasper Fanning said the NRD wants to outline the possibility the district acquiring property for the retirement of irrigated acres or to offset pumping by the district.

Aston Villa star heaps praise on Tottenham playmaker

Richard Dunne describes Luka Modric as "brilliant" ahead of this evening's Euro clash
Aston Villa centre half believes that the Republic of Ireland must nullify the threat of Croatian Luka Modric if they are to register a positive result.
Both sides begin their Euro 2012 campaign in Poznan this evening and having come up against the Spurs star in the Premier League on a regular basis, Dunne knows just how good the midfielder is.
"Modric is brilliant," Dunne told the Telegraph.
"The Croatian side is technically very good, but he's the one that really makes them tick.
"When we played them in Dublin last year, he was the one that passed and moved and created the chances.
"I know, having played against and seen him at Tottenham for a long time, he's one of the top players in the tournament, so we'll have to look after him."

|HHS upsets Meeker to advance to state consolation championship
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Odds were against the Dragon basketball team entering the state tournament. With a seventh-seed, Holyoke had to upset a school ranked higher than them to extend their season to Saturday for a shot at placing.
In the first round of the tournament, the Dragons were pitted against No. 2 Lutheran Thursday, March 13. Holyoke fell 42-77 to move to the consolation bracket where they faced sixth-seeded Meeker Friday, March 14. With a 69-54 Dragon victory, Holyoke advanced to the state consolation championship.
Tanner Smith drives to the hoop in the first round of the state basketball tournament Thursday night.
Holyoke 69, Meeker 54
Determined not to go 0-2 at the state tournament, Holyoke boys persevered through a back-and-forth dual with Meeker Friday to upset the Cowboys 69-54.
"I couldn't be more proud of how the guys responded after Thursday's letdown," coach Scott Dille said. "The kids really wanted to do well Thursday and put on a good performance and I think they felt like they let themselves down. But they woke up ready to go Friday."
Holyoke promptly pulled ahead as Tito Fierro sank a jump shot and made a transition layup and Logan Tharp knocked down a pair of free throws in the first two minutes. Meeker responded with a seven-point run to take the lead.

These are just two of the ways protected areas — in their many forms including national parks, marine reserves and community conserved areas — support human life. Not only are they key to securing our water and food supplies, they also reduce the impact of disasters and help us recover from them.
Healthy forests stabilise soils, helping to prevent landslides and avalanches, wetlands and river basins purify water and reduce flooding, while mangroves and coral reefs protect coastlines from storms. All these 'services' help sustain the wellbeing and livelihoods of millions of people around the world.
The IUCN World Parks Congress, taking place in November, will showcase the many ways in which we can safeguard ecosystems – our life support. It will highlight the successes and challenges of various approaches, be they government legislation, economic incentives or community-led initiatives.

|Girls finish 2012 with win over Sedgwick Co., 2 losses
|Written by Darci Tomky
With three games in five days, the Lady Dragons stayed busy last week, finishing with a strong 50-30 win over Sedgwick County Saturday, Dec. 15 in Julesburg.
Earlier in the week, HHS traveled to Yuma on Tuesday, Dec. 11, where they fell to the Indians 35-50. Holyoke was also defeated at home by Brush 27-40 on Friday, Dec. 14.
Looking back on the busy week, coach Arlan Scholl said the girls played well in stretches but seemed to struggle at times to shoot the ball with any consistency. "We played a good first half in both the Yuma and Brush games, but could not finish for the win in the second half of both of those games," he said.
Chandler Gerk lays in a bucket against Brush Friday, Dec. 14. The
"The Sedgwick County game finally proved to be a complete game for us as we played two consistent halves of basketball."
Scholl said they started the season practicing to work against pressure, but they still seem to struggle a bit with breaking defensive presses. Knowing that many of the tough teams they are about to face will use the press against them, the girls need to continue to work to get better in this phase of the game.
"I was very pleased with the effort and hard work that the girls displayed on the court," added Scholl, "and if they continue to give that kind of effort, good things will happen for this team."
Holyoke 50, Sedgwick County 30
Holyoke sure took the ball and ran with it during their win over Sedgwick County Saturday. They scored 20 points in the first quarter alone, with half of those scored by junior Audi Peña, giving the Dragons a 15-point lead.
They led 26-15 at halftime, followed up by a consistent second half, putting up another 24 points. Final scores left Holyoke in the lead, 50-30.
Top scorer for the Dragons was Peña with 19 points. She was 100 percent from behind the arc, sinking three for three. She also put in four two pointers and went two for two in free throws.
Also scoring double digits was Erin Vieselmeyer with 11.
Maddie King and Erin Vieselmeyer had 12 and 11 rebounds, respectively, and they each had one block. Peña and Megan Vieselmeyer each grabbed three steals, and Chandler Gerk had six assists for the Dragons.
Holyoke 35, Yuma 50
Holyoke came home with a 35-50 loss to Yuma last Tuesday, but the first half of the game proved they could keep up with the Indians.
The Dragons trailed by one at the end of the first quarter and by two at halftime, heading into the second half with a very manageable 17-19 score.
Yuma really took off in the second half, putting up 13 and 18 points compared to Holyoke's 6 and 12.
Maddie King goes up for two of her six points against Brush Friday
Leading Dragon scoring was Peña and Erin Vieselmeyer with nine points apiece. Peña landed three two-pointers and one three-pointer while Vieselmeyer had one two-pointer, one three-point shot and landed 100 percent four for four from the line.
Erin Vieselmeyer and Gerk each brought down eight rebounds, and Gerk had five steals and two assists.
Holyoke 27, Brush 40
Friday's game against Brush was a repeat of Tuesday. The Dragons played well in the first half, leading 15-14 at halftime.
But Brush turned up the intensity in the second half. HHS managed to score six in both the third and fourth quarters, but that just couldn't compete with the Beetdiggers' 11 and 15 points, giving Brush the 40-27 win.
Erin Vieselmeyer led with eight points including two two-pointers and four for six in free throws. She also led rebounds with nine.
King and Erin Vieselmeyer each had two blocks, and Gerk grabbed four steals.
Upcoming action
Basketball starts up again with two home games Jan. 4-5. The Dragons play Chase County, Neb. beginning at 4 p.m. on Friday and Shining Mountain beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
Tuesday, Jan. 8 they travel to Wiggins for 4 p.m. games.

I couldn't help myself. The Best Buy employee walking around the games area with a Playstation 3 under his arm was just too tempting. I was there to buy a Nintendo Gameboy Advance game for my oldest and I had to ask, "How many of those PS3's do you have?". The BB guy said "6". I said, "I'll take it". And walked out of the store with 1 game, 3 Blu-Ray movies, an HDMI cable and a 60 gig PS3.
Somehow I'll rationalize this as a purchase for the kids, but who's kidding who? I know what a stand alone Blu-Ray DVD player costs right now, so in my mind, this was a good deal. Besides, we used our old PS2 for movies 90% of the time anyway.

KLEM News PM Update May 20, 2010
Dave Horken has served as an elementary principal in the Le Mars Community School District for 27 years. He'll retire at the end of this school year.
A retirement open house, open to the public, is at the Education Service Center, Large Board Room, this afternoon from 4-5:30.
(LE MARS)--Plans for the Plymouth County Courthouse annex were finalized at the Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday morning. Architect Dale Mc Kinney of M+ Architects, Sioux City, updated the board on last minute adjustments to the annex plans.
"But, everything that we talked about at the last meeting, including the storage underneath the ramp and stairs, that's all been done. And I think we have all of I-T Shawn's Olson's things covered as well," McKinney told the board.
"I think it looks good," Supervisor Jim Henrich said.
"I think it looks great," Supervisor Craig Anderson, the board's liaison for the project said
"I like it," Supervisor Don Kass added.
"What's the roof material?" Auditor Stacey Feldman asked.
"Steel, raised metal steel," Anderson answered. "Twenty-two to twenty-four gauge steel," Kass added
Supervisor Craig Anderson asked Mc Kinney about the next steps.
"What's next, Dale?" Anderson asked.
"I think if we're ready to go it would be pulling the trigger on when we want to take bids," McKinney said. "I think in past projects we've done together we've set a Wednesday or a Thursday bid date with Stacey at the auditor's office accepting those bids and then put the package together and attended the following Tuesday board meeting with recommendations to you for you to review and accept or reject, whatever you choose to do."
Bids for the board's review are due by 2 pm, June 17 at the Plymouth County Courthouse. (News report by Dave Ruden)

Singer Aretha Franklin is in negotiations to bring her life story to the small screen.
Producers at Lifetime network are currently working on several biopics including films about Whitney Houston and Aaliyah, which is now on hold following the departure of star Zendaya Coleman, and they are hoping to team up with the Queen of Soul for a TV movie about her life and career.
Franklin tells Billboard.com, "We're very, very close to signatures on one agreement. It's just a matter of our coming to terms and agreeing about what we're doing to do."
While the film is still in the planning stages, Franklin has already begun thinking about who she would want to portray her if the project comes to fruition with Broadway star Audra McDonald and Jennifer Hudson leading her list.
She continues, "Right now it could be one of several people. There's always the producers' book, who the producer wants you to consider, and sometimes unknown names.
"Audra's got a great voice to work with, but she's very Broadway oriented, but that doesn't mean she cannot perform in the arena of soul, so that's why I'm interested in hearing how she would sing my things. The singing is certainly going to be a very, very integral and important part of it."

Improper string length checking
This is a Vulnerability. To view all vulnerabilities, please see the Vulnerability Category page.
Last revision (mm/dd/yy): 09/25/2008
Vulnerabilities Table of Contents
Improper string length checking takes place when wide or multi-byte character strings are mistaken for standard character strings.
- Access control: This flaw is exploited most frequently when it results in a buffer overflow condition, which leads to arbitrary code execution.
- Availability: Even if the flaw remains unexploded, the probability that the process will crash due to the writing of data over arbitrary memory may result in a crash.
Exposure period
- Requirements specification: A language which is not subject to this flaw may be chosen.
- Implementation: Misuse of string functions at implementation time is the most common cause of this problem.
- Build: Compile-time mitigation techniques may serve to complicate exploitation.
- Language: C, C++, Assembly
- Platform: All
Required resources
Likelihood of exploit
There are several ways in which improper string length checking may result in an exploitable condition. All of these however involve the introduction of buffer overflow conditions in order to reach an exploitable state.
The first of these issues takes place when the output of a wide or multi-byte character string, string-length function is used as a size for the allocation of memory. While this will result in an output of the number of characters in the string, note that the characters are most likely not a single byte, as they are with standard character strings. So, using the size returned as the size sent to new or malloc and copying the string to this newly allocated memory will result in a buffer overflow.
Another common way these strings are misused involves the mixing of standard string and wide or multi-byte string functions on a single string. Invariably, this mismatched information will result in the creation of a possibly exploitable buffer overflow condition.
Again, if a language subject to these flaws must be used, the most effective mitigation technique is to pay careful attention to the code at implementation time and ensure that these flaws do not occur.
Risk Factors
The following example would be exploitable if any of the commented incorrect malloc calls were used.
#include <stdio.h> #include <strings.h> #include <wchar.h> int main() { wchar_t wideString[] = L"The spazzy orange tiger jumped " \ "over the tawny jaguar."; wchar_t *newString; printf("Strlen() output: %d\nWcslen() output: %d\n", strlen(wideString), wcslen(wideString)); /* Very wrong for obvious reasons // newString = (wchar_t *) malloc(strlen(wideString)); */ /* Wrong because wide characters aren't 1 byte long! // newString = (wchar_t *) malloc(wcslen(wideString)); */ /* correct! */ newString = (wchar_t *) malloc(wcslen(wideString) * sizeof(wchar_t)); /* ... */ }
The output from the printf() statement would be:
Strlen() output: 0 Wcslen() output: 53
Related Attacks
Related Vulnerabilities
- Buffer Overflow (and related issues)
Related Controls
- Requirements specification: A language which is not subject to this flaw may be chosen.
- Implementation: Ensure that if wide or multi-byte strings are in use that all functions which interact with these strings are wide and multi-byte character compatible, and that the maximum character size is taken into account when memory is allocated.
- Build: Use of canary-style overflow prevention techniques at compile time may serve to complicate exploitation but cannot mitigate it fully; nor will this technique have any effect on process stability. This is not a complete mitigation technique.

The Darryl Starbird National Rod and Custom car show - Starbird's Witchita ShindigWritten by on April 30, 2007 Shines For 50 Years
When anything lasts 50 years in this day and age, it's quite a feat. Those select few things that have reached the 50-year milestone have found a way to weave themselves into everyday Americana.
Disneyland and the '57 Chevy, which have both reached the half-century mark, have become symbols of Americana, amusement, and enthusiasm. In Wichita, Kansas, the heart of the Sunflower State, a happening that has entwined itself into everyday lives can now claim 2007 as its 50th anniversary: the Darryl Starbird National Rod and Custom Car Show.
In '57, Darryl Starbird, the owner/operator of the Star Kustom Shop in Wichita, Kansas, saw a way to not only promote the up-and-coming custom shop, but to also fill a void in the Midwest hot rod scene. Starbird's revelation? To put on an indoor car show in the middle of winter to keep the scene alive. At the ripe old age of 24, Darryl and his wife, Donna, put everything on the line and took out a loan to rent out the now non-existent Wichita Forum and put on the first ever Auto Capades. (The name was later changed after the Starbirds received a cease and desist letter from the Ice Capades.) Not sure what to expect, the newfound promoters decided to set registration fees at $5 a vehicle and general admission at 98 cents. Much to the Starbirds' surprise, over 100 vehicles appeared in the inaugural show, and just a hair over 1,000 spectators walked through the doors of the Forum. At the time, Darryl and Donna were flabbergasted over the turnout, but little did they know that show would later spawn a 16-city show circuit dubbed the Star Car Caravan, and more importantly, turn into an annual family and hot rod tradition for 50 years.
The Darryl Starbird National Rod and Custom Car Show celebrated its 50th anniversary January 19-21 at the Century II Convention Center, which sits atop the old Forum in downtown Wichita. The show showcased some of the best cars and trucks the country has to offer and provided entertainment to all those who attended. This year's show was over five times the size of the inaugural show, and it displayed over 500 vehicles from all walks of the automotive life. Not to mention Darryl "The Bubble Top King" Starbird himself brought more than 25 of his own creations to celebrate the 50th anniversary. In fact, 90 percent of the center hall was filled with Starbird cars! Also thrown in the mix was the largest display of bubble top creations ever. There were a grand total of nine bubble tops, five of which were the Bubble Top Kings, on display in the center hall. In addition to that, some of the biggest names in customizing history, such as George Barris, Bill Hines, Joe Bailon, Jerry and Elden Titus, and Starbird, were on hand to meet and greet.
CCT attended the 50th anniversary Darryl Starbird National Rod and Custom Car Show, but seeing as how we were about to walk right into Kustom City, we were a little up in the air about what the custom classic truck scene would be. As it turns out, there was no need to worry at all, because the Wichita area is packed with custom haulers. There was a wide variety of all different styles and makes of trucks that, quite frankly, made us a little trigger happy with our cameras. For information about next year's show, log onto www.darrylstarbird.com, and be sure to check out the CCT Web site (www.customclassictrucks.com) for expanded coverage of the Starbird show.

Back in the '70s, when Chris Middendorf was just barely out of high school, his Chevy was a regular at the Wichita show, but for the last 25 years the Chevy has been hibernating in the garage......For the 50th anniversary Darryl Starbird National Rod and Custom Car Show, Chris just had to bring the Chevy out of retirement......The truck is exactly the same as the day it was put away, including the dual headlights, red crushed velvet interior, smoke stacks, and true-to-form outrageous '70s bed. Talk about one bitchin' blast from the past!Nothing like unloading when the weather is in the mid-teens and there's snow and ice covering the ground. Maybe that's what The Mamas & the Papas meant by California Dreamin'!Two of the Starbird creations on hand were the '70s-built experimental trucks "Cecil The Diesel" and "Trik Truk." Cecil The Diesel is a wild exaggeration of a Model T pickup with an all-handmade body and a Mercedes diesel powerplant......The all-handbuilt Trik Truk is even wilder at that, with dual controls, a pivoting steering assembly, and four front wheels that, yes, all turn simultaneously.From the outside, this '53 F-100 looks like a combination of house paint, rattlecan paint, and rust, but the truth of the matter is for the past several years the flathead-powered Ford has run the gauntlet at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Dig the woodwork in this bed! Kinda fitting that the '66 Chevy is dubbed "Got Wood." All those flames were laser-cut from various exotic woods for a precise fit.

Santa Clara, CA (Sports Network) - The San Jose Earthquakes were clearly
the best team in Major League Soccer during the regular season last year,
running away with the Supporters' Shield with 66 points.
But they faltered in the postseason for the second consecutive year, losing
3-2 on aggregate to the eventual champion Los Angeles Galaxy.
Despite the playoff setback, it was a successful campaign, one which the
Quakes will look to repeat in 2013 with a largely unaltered roster.
San Jose was carried by U.S. international Chris Wondolowski up top.
Wondolowski had an incredible offensive year, bagging 27 goals to tie Roy
Lassiter for the single-season goal scoring record.
The magic in Wondolowski's boots ran out a bit in the postseason, but he
likely won't have to reproduce his exceptional numbers from last season in
order for the Earthquakes to have a successful campaign.
Luckily for Frank Yallop's club the side has plenty of viable options in
attack to help Wondo with the scoring burden.
In addition to Wondolowski, Alan Gordon and Steven Lenhart will be counted on
to put the ball in the back of the net this season. Gordon had an outstanding
2012 season in which he played in 23 matches and scored 13 goals to go with
seven assists. The California native benefited from playing with Wondolowski
and should have another productive year in 2013.
Lenhart, meanwhile, has thrived in Northern California since coming over from
the Columbus Crew following the 2010 season. In two seasons with San Jose,
Lenhart has netted 15 goals and added five assists.
He has built on his reputation as a player that does a lot of dirty work
in front of goal that won't show up on a box score. He will track back to
clear balls off the line, win important balls in the air and provide energy
off the bench late in the game.
The Florida native has also thrived as a player that most opponents do not
want to face, one of those players that other teams would consider a pest. But
he certainly is a player you would want on your team.
Joining the club up top is gritty forward Mike Fucito, who was acquired in a
trade from the Portland Timbers in January. The four-year MLS veteran has
played 36 career regular-season matches for Seattle Sounders FC (2009-11),
Montreal (2012) and Portland (2012), recording three goals and two assists.
"Mikes the type of player that we like," Yallop said. "He's hard working,
aggressive and I always liked him from his days in Seattle. To see him on our
team is great."
The majority of the Earthquakes midfield returns as Sam Cronin, Marvin Chavez,
Brad Ring and San Garza will patrol the middle of the park. Khari Stephenson,
however, will not be returning to the club this season, as the Jamaica native
was released following the 2012 term.
Defensively, San Jose is solid with Jason Hernandez, U.S. international Steven
Beitashour, Justin Morrow and Dan Gargan likely to get starting spots.
Beitashour started 33 of the club's 34 games last season, but will be out for
the first 4-6 weeks of 2013 after undergoing surgery to correct a sports
Veteran defender Ramiro Corrales returns for his 11th season with the
Earthquakes, but will have a slightly different role this term. Corrales, the
only active player remaining to play every season since the league's inception
in 1996, will assume the role of player-coach for 2013.
Corrales ranks fifth in club history with 30 assists and is ninth in goals
with 16.
"Ramiro has proven over the years that he's an excellent player in our league
and on our team. We're excited to have him for this season and beyond," said
With the majority of the roster intact, San Jose should be near the top of
the Western Conference again, but they will need offensive contributions from
players not named Wondolowski to make a deep run in the MLS playoffs.
2012 IN REVIEW: San Jose ran away with the Supporters Shield crown, losing
just six times en route to a 66-point season. But they ran out of gas in the
playoffs against Los Angeles.
ACQUISITIONS: Dan Gargan (D), Ty Harden (D), Mike Fucito (F).
LOSSES: Khari Stephenson (M), Ike Opara (D), Joey Gjertsen (D/M), Tim Ward
OUTLOOK: Wondolowski, Gordon and Lenhart should drive an effective offense,
while the defense and veteran goalkeeper Jon Busch should do a nice job
keeping the ball out of the net. Wondolowski will probably not put up the kind
of numbers he did in 2012, but the balanced attack should allow San Jose to
easily reach the postseason again. It's whether that offense can produce once

Hi all,
After beta testing Zimbra a few months ago and being strong-armed into staying with Exchange, I am beginning to despise Outlook. We have Exchange 2003 Standard and will upgrade to Exchange 2010 at some point this year. Is it possible for me to use Zimbra Desktop to pull in my Exchange mail instead of Outlook? Id love to hear from anyone who has done this successfully if it is indeed possible.
In addition, would I be able to use conversation view functionality of Zimbra Desktop, or does that only work if I have a Zimbra back end?

Born on Apr. 29, 1958 in Santa Ana, CA, Pfeiffer was raised by her demanding father, Richard, a heating-and-air conditioning contractor, and her mother, Donna, a homemaker. Pfeiffer often described herself as being "out of control" in her youth, wrecking her first car (a '65 Mustang), skipping classes from Fountain Valley High School (though she maintained a solid B average) to hang out with surfers at Huntington Beach, and failing at bagging groceries for a local supermarket. After high school, Pfeiffer studied to be a courtroom stenographer and entered a beauty pageant, emerging as Miss Orange County in 1978. As a result, she landed a bit part on the hit 1970s show, "Fantasy Island" (ABC, ... Continue Bio >>

It might be quite instructive and it will be fun trying to spot all the errors. A Yay from me!
Basically, make the best bad you can. Break all the 'rules', with river violations galore, climatic impossibility, inconsistent scales and people who wear hats on their feet. Rivers can flow upstream (without any of that silly tidal boare nonsense), rain shadows occuring on the winward sides of mountains... Just make it all so terribly wrong, and the wronger it is, the better the outcome! Turn all the conventions and rules on their heads, and make the best awful map ever!

Let me know what you reckon!

There should be an addendum -
The point of this is not to make a bad looking map, but to make a logically impossible map.
I feel like a map contest like this is going to be flooded with MS paint and crayon scribblings, and the truly clever subversions of 'proper' mapmaking techniques will be lost among the clutter.

Hi all,
my plan is to offer to the users of our social network an email address with their vanity names - just like email@example.com.
So basically this is about replacing the social network private messaging system by a full featured webmail client. Contacts would be the "friends", calendar and other groupware features would not be used.
Zimbra offers the worlds coolest webmail client. Maybe this is a completely dumb idea, but do you consider Zimbra Community Edition a good starting point? Or can you point me to a client project with a better fit (e.g. less features)?
Thanks in advance,

SHADYSIDE - Two of the valley's premier teams, featuring three of the premier players, locked up Saturday afternoon in Shadyside.
Wheeling Park and Robert Morris signee Emily Puskarich crossed the river to take on the Tigers, who feature Karli Bonar and Hayley Holenka.
Neither the game nor the players disappointed as Wheeling Park used a strong effort from the foul line in the fourth quarter to fend off the now reeling Tigers, 61-56 before a large turnout.
Article Photos
Wheeling Park's Haley Robb puts up a shot as Shadyside's Karli Bonar defends.
"We're in a tough stretch of games right now," said Shadyside head coach Tina Yates, who watched her team fall to 3-3 after dropping its second straight. "We have to continue to fight. We don't have any games where we can just show up and expect an easy win. We're going to get through this."
The Patriots, who were without point guard Marissa Tucker because of a knee injury, are now 4-1 on the season and will visit University on Thursday.
"We had girls step it up and makes plays," Wheeling Park coach Dee Davis said. "I was happy with how the (Haley and Chloe) Robbs defended Bonar and Holenka. They sacrificed their offense to play defense. We know defense wins big games like these."
It was actually Robb's offense that ignited the Patriots to a lead entering the fourth quarter. With the game tied at 40 and 6.5 seconds showing on the clock, Robb went coast-to-coast and dropped in a floater.
Shadyside tied the game at 44-44 on back-to-back buckets from sophomore Kenzie Fielding and Holenka before Puskarich, who torched the Tigers for 30, got free on the interior for a soft lay-in.
The hosts never got closer than one the remainder of the game. The Park lead swelled to as many as eight at 59-51.
Park, which led by as many as 11 in the first half, was able to close it out with a sharp 15 of 16 effort from the line in the fourth. Puskarich and Robb were good on their combined 14 tries.
"We'd make a run and then we'd let up a little bit and (Shadyside) came right back with a run," Davis said. "I was just hoping we'd have the last run. Our foul shooting definitely helped us tremendously. We usually shoot them pretty well."
Puskarich was as good as advertised. Allowing the game come to her, she displayed the entire aresenal. She shot the ball well from 3-point land, drove to the bucket, played on the interior and handled things well on the glass and blocked three shots.
"We lost to Morgantown and Emily tried to do too much, so we told her to just relax," Davis said. "We just want her to play her game. She's an all-around player."
Puskarich's scoring was complemented by Robb's 15. Kendra Johnson scored 10 points on the interior.
Battling against several different defensive looks, Bonar found her way to 16 points. Senior Kristen Fijalkowski had a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Fielding was also impressive on the interior with a double-double of her own. She had 11 points and 11 boards.
"In the long run, these games are going to help us," Yates said. "We're not shooting the ball right now, so we have to make the most of the opportunities we get. We're going to keep digging and plugging away at this. We need everyone involved and once the other girls start doing it, it'll make life easier for Karli and Hayley."
Shadyside was guilty of 11 turnovers, which was one less than Wheeling Park.

Love this, but can't make up my mind whether the circles on the right are joining the masses and attempting to get to the Inner Circle or whether they are breaking away to be individuals having realised it's not all it's cracked up to be :)
Wow, Alice, what a great interpretation. This was a watercolor that I originally posted with a black background for the "Us & Them" program. I never really decided which way they were going. I like to leave it up to personal interpretation. I also like it flipped sideways and seeing them "bubble up." thanks for your kind words!

The African Development Bank contributes to the conservation of the Congo Basin ecosystems
27 March 2009 | News story
The support program for the conservation of the Congo Basin ecosystems (PACEBCo) has been approved by the Board of Directors of the African Development Bank (ADB). This program aims to ensure the regeneration of the ecosystems, improvement of human wellbeing and the reinforcement of institutions in charge of the Convergence Plan of the Central African Forest Commission (COMIFAC).
PACEBCo takes the convergence plan of COMIFAC as a starting point and sets up adaptation measures to address climate change. It will have to contribute to sustainable and concerted management of forest resources, protected areas rich in biological diversity and ecosystems in Central Africa for the wellbeing of the population and the planet as a whole.
Centered on the supply of regional public goods through regional co-operation, it will be implemented over a period of five years (2009-2014). This includes four components: reinforcement of the capacities of COMIFAC institutions; sustainable management of biodiversity and adaptation to climate change; sustainably fostering the wellbeing of the population; Program management and coordination.
PACEBCo has adopted the landscape approach. Landscapes are made up of homogeneous geographical entities consisting of three macro-zones which are: extraction zone, protected areas and community zones. Thus, the solution adopted in this program for the sustainable conservation of forests in Central Africa is the direct implication of the communities' in its management. This will help insure the satisfaction of their own needs in the conservation processes. The program promotes regular consultation and the participation of all active stakeholders; These include development partners, Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and partner organizations.
The beneficiaries of this program will be the population of the ten Member States of COMIFAC: Burundi, Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Chad and Sao Tome & Principe; the people living in the six ecological landscapes retained in these COMIFAC countries will benefit directly from the program. Particularly vulnerable population of the selected landscapes (indigenous population in particular, Pygmies, women, young people) will benefit through the micro-projects financed by the FDL (Local Development fund). The Economic Community of Central African States (CEEAC), the Executive Secretariat of COMIFAC, its national coordinators, specialized organizations and the administrations in charge of forests will also profit from this program.
In the long run, capacities will be reinforced in such main fields as access to the new Carbon markets; the monitoring of the environment (training and research grants for the Network of Forestry and Environmental training Institutions in Central Africa, the Postgraduate Regional School of Development and Integrated Management of Forests and tropical areas, and Community development (local development fund - FDL). It should be noted that this will be the very first introduction of FDL in the Congo Basin and will thus constitute a pilot experiment.

I'm not an extraordinarily gifted photographer, but in my own world I can completely relate to what drives & inspires Scott Schumann, aka 'the Sartorialist'.
I like his approach. Simple, honest, no unnecessary thrills, but a keen eye for his in-the-moment subject & the setting. His photos of people on bicycles are of equal quality. I should add 'naturally', as these aren't even a different genre, only a charming additive.
The late Ed van der Elsken, a street photographer / filmmaker from Amsterdam, is my absolute hero. The following sequence of two pictures boils down what he was about:
He was known for being a 'man of the people', a bit quirky, a bit of a clown. Following people in the streets, teasing, interjecting, his lens dancing around them, not unlike a performance artist...with either a photo or film camera. His films where often mesmerizing, 'Fietsen' ('Bicycles' or 'Cycling'), shot in 1965, is up there with the best & saves me from using more words to describe him & do him justice:
Through two and a half years of Amsterdamize I've lived to experience (recognize) a few moments that I'd like to describe as 'Eddies', either being the 'voyeur' of private moments in the public domain or me in turn acknowledged by my subjects. I treasure them & they inspire me to keep looking out for the obvious, which often reveals a thing of beauty...& a thousand words.
People (on bicycles), they're a gift that keeps on giving.

97 Orchard: An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenement (Paperback)
In 97 Orchard, Jane Ziegelman explores the culinary life that was the heart and soul of New York's Lower East Side around the turn of the twentieth centurya city within a city, where Germans, Irish, Italians, and Eastern European Jews attempted to forge a new life. Through the experiences of five families, all of them residents of 97 Orchard Street, Ziegelman takes readers on a vivid and unforgettable tour, from impossibly cramped tenement apartments, down dimly lit stairwells, beyond the front stoops where housewives congregated, and out into the hubbub of the dirty, teeming streets. Ziegelman shows how immigrant cooks brought their ingenuity to the daily task of feeding their families, preserving traditions from home but always ready to improvise. 97 Orchard lays bare the roots of our collective culinary heritage.
About the Author
Jane Ziegelman is the director of the Tenement Museum's culinary center and the founder and director of Kids Cook!, a multiethnic cooking program for children. Her writing on food has appeared in numerous publications, and she is the coauthor of Foie Gras: A Passion. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
