A man killed in a gangland-style attack on a street is named in reports as Alan Ryan, who was well known to Irish police.
11:26, UK, Tuesday 04 September 2012
An Irish crime boss and member of the Real IRA has reportedly been shot dead in a gangland-style attack in Dublin.
Alan Ryan is understood to have been shot at least once in the head on Monday afternoon, close to his home in Clongriffin, in the north of the capital, in an apparent ambush.
Irish police have not gone into detail about the nature of the attack, but the Irish Times reported that a car believed to be carrying two gunmen pulled up and Ryan was shot a number of times - including as he lay on the ground.
The killers fled in a car, thought to have been the same vehicle police later found burnt out.
Ryan was jailed in 1999 after he was caught at a terror training camp in Meath in the Republic.
The 32-year-old was facing charges over an alleged extortion racket.
According to the Irish Times, he and his Real IRA associates had become involved in feuding with a number of major crime gangs from the city.
The Irish Sun reported that one theory being explored was that the killing was in revenge for the murder of a rival gang member, Mika 'The Panda' Kelly.
The Belfast Telegraph said Ryan became a senior figure in the Real IRA in recent years and took charge of a group that was largely based around his home in Dublin.
He was involved in infighting in the terrorist group, the paper reported, and was involved in a serious dispute with the Real IRA's current leader in Dublin, a Cork man living in Tallaght.
He had been pictured at a protest in Dublin against the Queen's recent visit to the Republic.
A man accompanying Ryan on Monday was wounded in the shooting but is expected to recover.

What Hand Sanitizer Can Teach Us About Cybersecurity

I spent the last week at the RSA security conference in fear of getting sick before my talk on Friday, the last day of the conference. During that time I was nearly obsessive about using hand sanitizer to protect me against any germs I might be getting from shaking hands, or touching surfaces.

Security implications of Lizard Squad Attack on Tor
No comments · Posted by Lance Cottrell in Anonymity, Podcast, Tor
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (11.3MB)
Right after the Lizard Squad finished with a DDOS attack on the PSN and XBOX networks, they launched an attack against the Tor anonymity system. The attack was simple, set up enough Tor relays to be able to identify a significant fraction of Tor users and connect them with their activity. They got caught because they were bozos (perhaps intentionally). They did the attack hard and fast, which made it easy to identify the rogue relays, and they bragged about it (which told people to look for the attack). (more…)

The Chaos Computer Club recently announced that their website was being blocked by Vodefone as part of their participation in the "Great Firewall of Britain". This is somewhat concerning as they don't seem to match any of the criteria for blocking that have been announced. This also blocks access to information and tickets for their upcoming conference. Many people predicted (me, EFF, and many others) that this censorship system would inevitable overreach when it was first announced. (more…)

266 participants ran into the frigid water of the Willamette River to raise money for Oregon's Special Olympics in this year's 'Polar Plunge.' 11 O Heroes turned out to show their support and help out. While none of them took the plunge into the river, the O Heroes handed out soup, hot chocolate and coffee after the participants emerged from the cold waters of the river. The O Heroes took pictures with Lane county Special Olympics athletes and cheered them on as they bravely took the chilly swim. Football O Hero JR Maffie even dressed up as the Polar Plunge mascot, which you can probably guess, was a Polar Bear.
Four football heroes and seven women's lacrosse heroes were just a few of the people who came out to help and support. Oregon Law enforcement and Fred Meyer sponsored the plunge, and local news outlets KVAL and KMTR covered the event. Emcee Barry MacGuire from Kool 99.1 was there to narrate and introduce a live band and of course hundreds of people in wet suits, athletic apparel and costumes ranging from mythical creatures to a group of lawyers all plunged into the Willamette River. In addition to all the fun that was had, the efforts of all involved raised over twenty thousand dollars for the Special Olympics.

Originally made in 1974, Mexico's Santo y Blue Demon contra el Dr. Frankenstein is one of the many adventures by Santo, El Emascardo de Plata (Saint, the Man in the Silver Mask), on this outing paired with fellow luchador (wrestler) Blue Demon. The pair's adversary is the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein, who uses chemistry to retain a younger, stronger physique (he is 113 years old but can take on both wrestlers with relative ease).
While Santo and Blue Demon take on a pair of rudos at a wrestling match, Dr. Irving Frankenstein (Jorge Ryssek) and his assistant work diligently on a pair of kidnapped girls. The physicians intend to swap the brains of the women, but when this horrid experiment fails, they simply turn the girls into zombies and send them to their respective families, where the "zombies" go on a killing spree.
The good doctors turn their attention to El Santo, as Dr. Frankenstein wishes to transplant El Santo's brain into one of his henchman zombie bodies. Frankenstein believes that this colossus will have both the strength of 20 men and the agility/wrestling prowess of the great Santo. To snag El Santo, Frankenstein sends his goons, as well as a zombie behemoth by the name of Golem, to kidnap El Santo's lady friend Alicia (Sasha Montenegro). Frankenstein also takes the time to secure the talents of a couple of brain surgeons. The aging surgeons are given a special concoction that makes them young again. In exchange for Frankenstein's mixture, the men agree to help him resurrect the doctor's dead wife, which he keeps in suspended animation.
The goons successfully kidnap Alicia, but soon Santo and Blue Demon fight their way through the goon squad and into Frankenstein's lair. Although the intrepid pair manages to rescue Alicia, Frankenstein and Golem manage to escape. A few days later, Golem and Frankenstein show up again, this time as masked wrestlers. Will El Santo be able to take on the powerful Golem in the ring or will he die?
Fans of the Mexican luchador genre know what to expect from a Santo film: some wrestling matches, some scuffles with goons, and a showcase monster, this time in the form of Golem, who is controlled by Dr. Frankenstein. Those who have never experienced this genre are in for a surprise, as the sheer amount of cheese, low-budget special effects, and heroes in masks will be strange indeed. Many horror fans will be turned off by all the goings-on, but those who like B-movies with wooden acting but from-the-heart performances will become addicted to the genre.
I grew up watching these films at the local drive-in with my parents, so to have these movies out on DVD is a real treat. Get Santo y Blue Demon contra el Dr. Frankenstein and see if the luchador genre is something you just might enjoy.

Cheney School Board directors voted to table a proposal on elementary school boundary revisions presented at their Jan. 9 board meeting. Board members said they felt they and the public needed time to review and possibly offer different options on the changes, which were presented for the first time at a public meeting in Airway Heights of the Boundary Review Committee just two nights earlier.

If you have ever needed an incentive to play well, then here is something that could help.
Most controllers either vibrate, rumble or otherwise provide something to let you know that you've screwed up. A pair of French hackers have taken things up a notch. The pair has gone as far as inflicting real physical pain to themselves.
Dyak and Furrtek have hacked up dog barking collars to their Sega Genesis controllers that give them a electric shock when punched. For those that aren't familiar, the electric collars are used by dog owners to train them from barking. When a dog barks, the collar will send a zap of electricity to alert them to stop. The pair has now taken that concept to video games.
For more information on how they did it, check out Furrtek.org.

For anyone paying attention, it's not exactly fresh information that Miley Cyrus has been working overtime to seem like a grown up. From her scandalous television appearances to her seemingly put on tough girl image, the former Disney starlet is doing her own thing, and she desperately wants the whole world to know it.
In a new story from 'W' magazine, the 21-year-old works overtime to insure that readers know she is totally independent, cool, and of legal drinking age. Of course, the first thing you'll notice about Miley from the photo spread is that the singer isn't wearing a stitch of clothing. It's a move lots of young women feel obligated to make somewhere along the way in the transition from child star to adult star. And it's nothing new for Miley Cyrus, who's been in the process of taking her clothes off for what seems like years.
No, the diminished shock value of naked Miley Cyrus isn't where the young woman is asserting her independence. That comes in the interview portion, starting with the singer's proclomation: "I don't love kids."
And the singer isn't talking about toddlers and infants, she's talking about her core fan base, a fact that becomes clear when she adds: ""They're so f***ing mean … Sometimes I hear kids with their parents, and I want to go over and, like, smack them myself … Like if they meet me, they'll be like, 'Mom, don't you know how to use an iPhone? Like, can you take the picture?' I'm like, 'Dude, if I ever talked to my mom like that when I was a kid, I would have had no phone, no computer, no TV, no anything.' And so, yeah, kids are just mean."
Later in the interview, the tween goddess confesses that she is no longer interested in making the music that earned her 17 million Twitter followers. She's interested in making her music (or her producer's music, but either way). "If no one buys my album, cool," the singer says. "It's fine. I've got a house, and I've got dogs that I love. I don't need anything else."
That doesn't mean that Miley Cyrus doesn't serve as an example to millions of teens. Just yesterday, Cyrus tweeted that it's been two months since her last cigarette. Accompanied by the hash tag "#proudofmyself," the tweet is an especially timely message to her legions of fans - whether Miley herself cares or not - since the World Health Organization's announcement that cancer cases are expected to start skyrocketing in the next decade.
Being an unintentional good example (at least some of the time) is all well and good, but Miley Cyrus is showing an odd distaste for her fame. In spite of her extremely active presence on social media, the star is less than enthusiastic about her celebrity.
First, there's her paranoid (but probably spot on) assertion that, "I think with, like, Instagram, Twitter, whatever, everyone is a paparazzi now. How scary is that? Like, you're never safe." Then, there's her claim that she never leaves her home. Of course, her home is palatial and stocked with amenities, but it's still something a little pitiful about feeling the need to be cooped up at home for fear of an entire world of smartphone stalkers.

Beer, bangs, graphic tees, and shoes with no socks. Is it the new Abercrombie & Fitch campaign? No, it's summer in the Hamptons—in the '60s.
The New York Daily News recently dug up a trove of photos of college kids living it up on the Long Island shore 40 years ago, and what struck us when we saw them? The prevailing fashions wouldn't be out of place at a beach barbecue today. There are shoes that look a lot like Vans, sunglasses identical to Ray-Bans, and those hip-hugging women's shorts that are currently on sale at American Apparel. Plus boat shoes, espadrilles, and women's bathing attire exactly like the currently popular suits we now call "retro," although back then they were probably cutting edge and a bit daring. Have we progressed at all since the Johnson administration? Not much (except tattoos), but then, why mess around with classic American sportswear? It looked good then, it looks good now.

Does the word Government take a singular or plural verb?
By Mrs. Maria Rita : Vijayawada - India
Nouns such as government, committee, group, clan and family are used to refer both to a whole group as a singular entity and to the members of the group. So these words can take either a singular or plural verbs depending on the contexts.
• The Tamil Nadu government has announced pay hike for its employees.
In the following examples the noun government takes the plural verb as it refers to the members of the cabinet.
• The government are not in favour of implementing the sixth pay commission recommendations.
Similarly, if the noun group is considered as a whole, it can be treated as a single entity.
• The group wants to take the test next Monday.
But when the individuality of its members is emphasized, group is plural.
• The group are not going to support your proposal.
In the above example, the group refers to individual members.

Summer 2014 Think Tank Opportunities
This summer, the Learning Games Lab will not be offering public sessions. We have enjoyed doing so tremendously over the past few years, and believe our Game Lab Consultants have enjoyed it as well. The Learning Games Lab was designed to give developers access to testers for formative evaluation on the products we currently have in development. Based upon our current needs, we will only be hosting two private sessions this summer: one for members currently enrolled in 4-H, and one for expert consultants who have attended our sessions before. Slots in these two sessions are limited and an application must be completed in full. There will be a $50 charge for each session.
- Session 1: Open To Students Enrolled in 4-H, ages 9 and up (1 week session)
Monday, June 16 - Friday, June 20, 8:30am-2:30pm
- Session 2: Open To Returning Game Lab Consultants (ones who have participated in the program before) entering grades 6th, 7th and 8th (2 week session)
- Monday, June 30 - Thursday, July 3, 8:30am-12:00pm
- Monday, July 7 - Friday, July 11, 8:30am-12:00pm

At age 7, Carter Samuel Martin faced cancer with determination and a smile. Not once did the fight in Carter's eyes fade during his 20-month battle with Ewing's sarcoma--a rare type of bone cancer. Though Carter ultimately lost his battle, he never stopped believing that one day a cure for cancer would be discovered.
For many children who have cancer, innovative therapy represents hope. Innovative therapy focuses on the development of new cancer treatments, and has led to dramatic improvements in cure rates--from a 20 percent chance of survival before the 1960s to nearly 80 percent today.
Thanks to the Carter Samuel Martin Innovative Therapy Research Endowment, the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is able to conduct more clinical trials than ever before, offering hope to patients and their families trying to cope with cancers that have returned or failed to respond to other treatments. By making a donation to the endowed fund, you can help make Carter's vision a reality.
There are several events held throughout the year that benefit the Carter Samuel Martin Innovative Therapy Research Endowment. Visit the pages below to learn about these events and how you can lend your support.

On Monday, April 7, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series visited Texas for the seventh race of the 2014 season. The race had originally been scheduled to be run on Sunday, April 6, but race day would simply turn into nothing more than a long day after heavy rain blanketed the Fort Worth area. After exhaustive attempts at drying the racetrack, NASCAR postponed Sunday's running of the 500-mile event until Monday morning at noon (ET).
The long weekend began Friday, when Casey Mears and his No. 13 GEICO Chevrolet SS started out strong in the Lone Star State, landing 13th on the speed chart in the weekend's first practice session on Friday. On Saturday, they advanced to the second round of Sprint Cup qualifying and finished up in the 20th position, leaving the team optimistic as they approached race day.
On Monday, the radar was clear and racing finally got underway. In order to ensure that the track was safe, the first nine laps of the race were run under caution after green/yellow flags waved simultaneously to indicate the official start of the 334-lap event. On lap 13, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. found himself hard against the outside wall in turn one after getting into the grass and shooting up the racetrack, bringing out the caution just four laps after going green. While Jimmie Johnson absorbed the brunt of the mud and debris that Earnhardt's car spit up, Casey was behind the Johnson's No. 48 car and also took on a grill full of mud.
The race was marred by only seven caution flags, and ended with Penske Racing's Joey Logano taking the checkered flag. Casey Mears would remain at odds with his #13 Chevy and when the checkered flag closed out the Duck Commander 500, the team was credited with a 28th place finish.
"It was a long day for sure, and the changing track conditions didn't help us any, but the guys kept working hard all afternoon," Mears said at his hauler after the race. "We tested Darlington last week and were really fast, so I'm focusing on the good things and thinking positive as we head there in a few days. Darlington is one of my favorite places to race and I'm excited to get the #13 GEICO Chevy on-track Friday."
Darlington Raceway hosted the first 500-mile race in NASCAR history and the first on asphalt on Sept. 4, 1950. – won by Johnny Mantz. There were 75 cars that started that first 500 mile race, opposed to a max of 43 cars that will start the Bojangles Southern 500 this week. In 1950 the pole winning speed was 82.034 mph, the track qualifying record set in May 2013 was nearly 100 mph faster at 181.918 mph. The average race winning speed in 1950 was just 75.250 mph, Matt Kenseth's race winning pace in 2013 was 141.383 mph.
Heading into the "Bojangles Southern 500" race weekend at Darlington Raceway, Germain Racing announced that North Carolina 's Thomas Tire & Automotive will join the team as an associate sponsor on the No. 13 GEICO Chevrolet SS driven by NASCAR Sprint Cup Series winner Casey Mears. Thomas Tire & Automotive will be on board for Saturday's 501.3-mile race to be held in Darlington , SC , at the 1.366-mile race track located just an hour from two Thomas Tire & Automotive locations in Aberdeen , NC .
In addition to his racing duties in Darlington, Mears will also be making a personal appearance at the GEICO display at Darlington Raceway on Saturday afternoon from 3:00 PM - 3:20 PM (EDT). He will be talking to fans and will be available for autographs and photos.
Last season, Marcos Ambrose and the No. 9 Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) team didn't score a top-five finish. In the first seven races this year, the team has earned two and have been in position to make the "Chase". The improvement has the team looking to avenge a difficult race last year at Darlington where they finished 34th.
"We probably left Darlington last year as disappointed as we could be," stated Ambrose. "We just didn't know what was wrong with the car and had a terrible night. When you have races like that, you just want to go back and get better. Now is our time, and our race team is better than ever and we also have a history of running in the top-10 at Darlington. This weekend is a little about avenging last year's race."
Ambrose has five previous NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at Darlington Raceway and knows how to race up front at NASCAR's hardest track. He has tallied two top-10 finishes, including a ninth-place finish with RPM in 2012. He will carry the DEWALT logo with him on the hood this weekend.
"Darlington is so different," continued Ambrose. "It's egg-shaped, and you're just working on the car the whole race. It's 500 miles, and that's a long night at Darlington. The legends of NASCAR defined this track, this race, and it's a 'Crown Jewel' event. With our improvements, I believe we can avenge last year and compete for a win."
Ambrose's teammates in the No. 43 want to win every week, but this week, they have an additional incentive. Crew Chief Trent Owens grew up just a few miles from Darlington Raceway and says a win at the track "Too Tough To Tame" would rank up with a Daytona 500 win.
"The Cup series is the top level of our sport," added Owens. "To be able to go to your hometown, where you graduated high school, and actually perform in front of family and friends is huge. I lived 7 or 8 miles from the track, and my family still lives there. Having my family and friends there to see the race means the most. Our schedule is so busy and so grueling that being able to see everyone and perform in front of them means a lot. It's important to run well there because I'll catch a lot of grief if I don't, but certainly a win at Darlington will be pretty high up on my list."
Aric Almirola will look to continue Owens' success at the track. With consecutive top-10 finishes in the last five seasons as crew chief, Almirola would like to add a Sprint Cup Series top-10 to the list. He has five starts at the 1.36-mile track in all three NASCAR series and just two in the Sprint Cup Series. He tallied his best finish of ninth in the 2010 truck series race.
"Darlington is not my best track, so I'm hoping Trent (Owens) can bring his success with him,"Almirola stated. "It's his home track, so we really want to run well there. They call Darlington the track 'Too Tough To Tame,' and it really lives up to that name. This season, we have really shown strength in our short track program, and I think we will continue that here. We really need to focus on racing the racetrack. I say it every week, but it is especially true here. We get so close to the wall that at any minute it could jump out at you. It's important to stay focused on your race and not let the cars around you change your focus or strategy."
This weekend, the Fresh From Florida campaign will makes its debut on the famed No. 43. The campaign, led by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is focused on building awareness and sales of fresh seafood, produce and other Florida products.
"It's always fun to represent new sponsors in the sport," continued Almirola. "Our sponsor this week is particularly fitting since I too am Fresh From Florida. Growing up in Tampa, I was spoiled with all the good seafood and produce that was grown locally. We had fresh, good food right in our home state. Traveling all the places we do, I have come to appreciate Florida produce. Hopefully, we can take them to victory lane in their first Cup race."
David Ragan, driver of the No. 34 CSX "Play It Safe" Ford, has seven Sprint Cup career starts at Darlington Raceway. He has one top-five and two top-15 finishes at the 1.366-mile oval, with his best finish coming in 2008.
"I think Darlington is one of the tougher racetracks for sure," stated Ragan. "Five hundred miles at Darlington, for me, seems like forever. Your Bristol races are long, your Martinsville races are long, the Coke 600 is a long race, but for me Darlington is the longest night of the year. You are on the verge of wrecking your car every lap it seems like. And it's warm and humid down in South Carolina. So, moving the race up a couple weeks like they did this year might help make it a little cooler for the fans and for the drivers. But mentally it's still going to be tough. But, it's a great racetrack with a lot of history and we look forward to it every year."
David Ragan's teammate, David Reutimann, driver of the No. 35 MDS Transport Ford, David Reutimann, driver of the No. 35 MDS Transport Ford, has 7 Sprint Cup career starts at Darlington Raceway, with his best finish at the track of 11th coming in 2010.
"I'm not sure that I've ever gotten the hang of that place, added Reutimann. "You hear the phrase 'you have to race the racetrack' at some places. I think they came up with that phrase after somebody raced Darlington, because that's just how that place is. You've got to forget about racing other guys and concentrate on the racetrack and not tearing the thing up."
The other guy named David on the team, David Gilliland, driver of the No. 38 A&W All American Food Ford, has seven Sprint Cup career starts at Darlington Raceway, with his top finish at the 1.366-mile oval of 20th coming in 2008.
"Darlington is very, very tough," added a heartened Gilliland. "I enjoy it and always look forward to going there, but it hasn't been one of my better racetracks. The 'Lady in Black' is very, very difficult. On a scale of one to 10 of difficult tracks, it's a 10. We've run really well there before, but just haven't been able to finish it off. That wall just sneaks up and bites me. I'm going to try to give it a little more room this time."
The NASCAR Sprint Cup cars begin the race weekend at the "Track Too Tough Too Tame" for two practice sessions on Friday, April 11th at 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM ET. Qualifying follows Friday night at 6:10 PM (ET). Saturday's 367-lap Bojangles Southern 500 will be broadcast FOX beginning at 6:30 PM (ET). MRN and Sirius XM Ch. 90 will carry the radio coverage of the event. On Saturday night, April 12, RacingLive! will coincide with the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Darlington Raceway, where fans can join ESPN.com's NASCAR experts in dissecting every aspect of the race.

From commercial to residential, no other structurally insulated panel system offers a more "do-it-yourself" friendly process than RAY-CORE. With super lightweight panels and easy instructions, if you can pick up a hammer, then you can tackle the most difficult projects and use RAY-CORE. See the Do-It-Yourself users guide.
When Can I Use RAY-CORE Panels?
- Existing structures
- New construction
- Remodels
- Retrofit roof & wall systems
- Additions
- Basement wall insulation panels
Understanding R-Values
As with any insulator (cellulose, fiberglass, polyurethane, and polystyrene a.k.a. EPS or XPS,) when the air temperature drops the R-Value increases. As the air temperature raises the R-Value decreases.
It is important that when you see an R-Value you know at what temperature the product was tested. The apples to apples R-Value ASTM C518 standard comparison is 75°F.
Read more: R-Value curve test data
RAY-CORE Utilizes Proven Framing Practices
RAY-CORE SIP roof & wall panels combine three labor tasks into one smart panel system. This system utilizes conventional proven building materials: premium doug fir members, state-of-the-art rigid polyurethane foam, and foil radiant vapor barrier. This brilliant panel coupled with jobsite materials; rafters for roofs, double top plates, single bottom plate, headers, king studs, and trimmers for walls will meet all local standard building codes. Read More on Roof Panels or Wall Panels.
Very Affordable
On average it will cost about $1350.00 more on a 1500sq foot home to use RAY-CORE's SIP wall panels. This small investment will pay you back in less than three years and keep money in your pocket throughout your life. Read More
Can I Get OSB On My Panels?
Yes sheathing can be nailed to the integrated wood in the factory, although it is recommend to be nailed on the jobsite. This allows for the OSB or Plywood to overlap the panel joints insuring a stronger airtight roof & wall system.
*Unlike most sandwich panels, RAY-CORE advises against injecting polyurethane foam directly to the OSB board. When OSB gets wet during installation or from roof leaks, ice damming, condensation or other common roof problems, it begins to swell, grow mold, mildew and break down. This swelling diminishes the integrity of the sheathing requiring it to be replaced. If the OSB is glued to the foam the whole panel has to be replaced in order to fix the damaged roof decking. This is the case with other SIP sandwich panels. But with RAY-CORE, simply pull up the damaged sheets of OSB and replace them. RAY-CORE is the far superior solution.

Tim and Nick are best friends, neighbors and co-workers, whose equal footing is suddenly tripped up when one of Nick's hare-brained get-rich-quick schemes actually succeeds: the Vaporizer, a spray that literally makes dog poop, or any other kind for that matter, evaporate into thin air--to where, exactly, is anyone's guess. Tim, who had scoffed at Nick's idea and passed on an opportunity to get in on the deal, can only watch as Nick's fortune--and Tim's own envy--grow to equally outrageous proportions. When the flames of jealousy are fanned by an oddball drifter who imposes himself into the situation, Tim's life careens wildly out of control, taking Nick's with it.

The bucolic acreage of the McPolin Farm and the nearby the Richards Ranch along the final stretch of the S.R. 224 entryway has long been a point of pride for Park City leaders, perhaps the most visible example of City Hall's conservation efforts.
And some people might still look with wonderment when they see the open fields so close to Park City neighborhoods. City Hall years ago protected the land from development, and the local government has continued to allow hay cultivation on part of the acreage at the McPolin Farm.
Park City in recent weeks took steps to formalize the relationship with Frank Richards, the longtime Parkite who cultivates hay at the McPolin Farm. Richards uses the hay he harvests to feed his horses.
Hay production has occurred on the land for decades. City Hall says it wanted to ensure it follows its own procurement rules in allowing the production to continue. It recently requested proposals from people interested in producing hay on two City Hall-owned pieces of land. The request indicated City Hall wants to "continue historical agricultural uses" on the land.
Richards submitted the only response to the request. Richards and his family have cultivated hay on the parcels for decades. The hay is harvested once a year in the fall.
The better known parcel is the McPolin Farm. The other one is located on both sides of S.R. 224 at Meadows Drive. It is known as the Peterson parcel. The Peterson parcel sits just south of the McPolin farm acreage.
Heinrich Deters, who is the trails and open space manager at City Hall, said he anticipates the municipal government will negotiate a lease with Richards allowing him to continue producing hay.
Deters said the lease will not involve monetary compensation to City Hall. The municipal government will also not pay a provider for the hay production, he said.
It will cover a term of one year with the possibility of annual renewals on each of the parcels, he said. The lease will require that the hay produced on the land is used in a way that ensures Richards does not make a direct profit. Deters said using the hay to feed the horses owned by Richard will be allowed under the lease.
The agreement, meanwhile, will allow Richards to keep horses on a prized piece of open space owned by City Hall so long as he is alive. City Hall purchased the open space from Richards. It is known as the Richards Ranch.
Deters said he anticipates the agreement will be brought to Mayor Dana Williams and the Park City Council as early as late May. The request issued by City Hall for a hay producer and the talks with the Richards family have not been widely publicized. It seems likely like that an agreement between the two sides will be reached with little difficulty.
Richards, who lives in Thaynes Canyon, said he is happy that the two sides are working toward an agreement.
"I've been taking care of it for many years. It's been a satisfactory arrangement," Richards said, adding, "I am pleased I can continue . . . It's a good thing for them. It's a good thing for me."
The McPolin Farm spreads through 84 acres. Of that, hay production occurs on approximately 15 acres. Upward of four acres of the 27-acre Peterson parcel are used for hay production.
The land is critical to Park City's efforts to keep a rural feel to the S.R. 224 entryway. Park City leaders long ago started purchasing land along the entryway for conservation purposes. They wanted to create a largely undeveloped buffer between Park City neighborhoods and the fast-growing Snyderville Basin.
The purchase of the McPolin Farm, with its iconic white barn surrounded by fields, has been seen for years as the critical conservation deal along the S.R. 224 entryway.
Deters said the land where Richards produces hay and the open space surrounding that acreage offer a "pastoral feel" to the entryway. People enjoy the openness of the land, he said.
"We still want to feel like we live in a small town," Deters said.


text: I just joined. I bought my first handgun yesterday. Went with a cheap one for my first. I got a Hi Point .45. I read a lot of reviews, and it seemed more people were happy with them than not. I've got to decide on what ammo to buy for practice. I'm a very active rifle shooter/hunter and always buy Hornady for my long guns. But their handgun ammo is pretty pricey. I was figuring on buying about the cheapest I could find for my first hundred or so rounds while I familiarize myself with the weapon. I see the gun is +P rated. If I understand that right, that means it's a hotter load, but doesn't change the casing like a magnum round would. Is that right? How different is the trajectory between +P and regular? My goal to begin with is to try to shoot consistent at about 10 yards or so. Thanks.

Reality televisions has taken over the airwaves over the years and while it used to just feature the strange and bizarre, it has since began catching the eye of celebrities to bring their rea lives to the fans in various ways. While everyone knows of the famed brothers Mark Wahlberg and Donnie Wahlberg, and while the latest series Wahlburgers features both of them, the focal point is their chef brother Paul Wahlberg. Now A&E and Lionsgate are bringing the series home with Wahlbrugers the complete first season to DVD.
The series follows the family run restaurant Wahlburgers with Paul taking the lead as the superstar chef and work horse to keep it working with Donnie and Mark helping the business side and their mom Alma holding it all together. While the series does spend a lot of time focusing on their growing restaurant business, but e4ven more so on the family dynamic which is want the fans really want anyway. A lot of these shows tend to advertise the supposed celebrities and end up hardly being in the show, but here all three of the Wahlbergs are there every episode in different capacities making it more compelling to see them in the normal world. This series isn't breaking any new ground in the genre, but if you are a fan of any or all of them it works pretty well. It never feels like they set a bunch of scenarios up but you never know, but it is done well enough that it at least feels authentic. In addition fans of the popular series Entourage will get to meet the real life entourage that the show is based on with all of them making regular appearances around the series as well as a few other recognizable faces.
This isn't one of those reality shows looking for a laugh, but instead just lets things happen organically and make it all about their family. You will either be entertained or not, they let it be what it is and not some over the top insanity like most reality shows. This DVD features all 9 episodes of the first season as well as bonus featurettes not seen on TV. If you haven't seen the show this is the perfect time to get caught up before the new season kicks off August 13th.
Join the Wahlberg family for dinner when Wahlburgers the complete first season comes to DVD on July 22nd.

Samsung Nexus S Review
For the most part, Google remains content on letting OEMs do the heavy lifting when it comes to promoting and selling phones that run the company's Android smartphone OS. There are certain times, however, that Google wants to be the big boy to show everybody how it's done. This is where the Nexus lineup comes to play.
Nexus phones are manufactured by an OEM (The Nexus One was made by HTC and the Nexus S is made by Samsung), but are the only phones that Google actually plays any part in producing, marketing, or selling. They want Nexus to be pure and unadulterated "vanilla" Android, typically acting as the phone leading the charge into the latest and greatest Android firmware update so that developers can use the phone as a living emulator for the Market apps they are developing. No special user interfaces to mess around with and bog them down, and usually complete with the best features that mobile technology has to offer at the time. Anytime a Nexus phone is launched, the tech world looks in with great anticipation.
The Nexus One was launched last year to much fanfare for developers and tech media, but wasn't popular with the general public. It wasn't heavily marketed, was only available online through Google and T-Mobile directly, and when launched was available at full subsidy ONLY for brand new customers. T-Mobile upgrades were done for an extra $100. Eventually it launched on AT&T, but was only available unsubsidized for $529 and only on the Google Phone Webstore. The avenues of selling this product were niche, to say the least.
Though the Nexus One was top of the line, it ended up being considered by many to be a failure due to underachieving sales and lack of public interest.
Now here comes Google's second attempt at Nexus. Called the Nexus S, manufactured by Samsung and renamed to avoid being an official sequel to the One and being branded more closely to the Galaxy S lineup. Heck, the "S" on the box even uses the same exact logo. It's as if Samsung just wanted to release this phone as a Galaxy S in the first place.
But this is where it gets weird. Though there was more S branding involved on this phone, there are actually quite a few key differences between the Nexus S and the Galaxy S series.
To me, the real questions are: why is the Nexus S relevant? Why does it matter? What does it bring to the table that no other Android does? Let's discuss the Nexus S and break it down.
In this review, I endeavor to answer the above questions, show off what makes the Nexus S unique, and my usual likes/dislikes of the device itself. Buckle up, everyone, it's going to be a long and bumpy ride.
First Impressions
When first laying eyes on it, I could immediately see the resemblence between the Nexus S and the rest of the Galaxy S series. In fact, the Nexus S is pretty much the same design as the Samsung Fascinate, except for Contour display and front-facing camera.
I am also intrigued by the curved display, but not so sure if it makes a huge difference to my opinion of the phone that it's included. But to note, it's easy to be deceived by this curved "display"; it's not actually the display that's curved, merely the glass above it which gives it the curved look. I myself was originally of the belief that it was the display itself. So it's still intriguing, but more as a design concept rather than innovation in screen display technology.
For me, seeing the Nexus S for the first time was more of a "meh" experience. Sure, the inclusion of Gingerbread is a huge deal, but what else does the phone bring to the table?
Hardware and Design of the Nexus S
At least Samsung was going for something different in the design of the Nexus S, something that would make it stand out over some of the phone maker's latest design innovations. To me, one of the big successes for the Galaxy S lineup is the fact that every single version of it uses a unique design. The Captivate, for instance, is much more square on front and sharp on the edges, along with a metal backing and very little glossy plastic; while on the other hand, the Fascinate has rounded corners, rounded on the sides, and all of it is glossy plastic.
The Nexus S goes the glossy plastic route, but adds in a few different design elements. The major one is the "Contour" display. In theory, the phone's contours allow for an easier one-handed experience on the phone. Having the inward curve would also seem to make it more comfortable to hold it up to your ear. I didn't see a noticeable improvement on either.
One quick note on port placement: while the power button on the right and volume keys on the left are a natural fit in my hands, the headphone jack is on the bottom next to the MicroUSB. This completely confuses me, and just doesn't feel like it should be there. I understand the desire to have the design be as minimal as possible, thus keeping the top of the phone totally clean and port-free, but I always prefer the 3.5 mm jack on the top of every phone I use because it's out of the way. Placing the port anywhere else makes the headphones feel intrusive.
Android 2.3 Gingerbread Software on the Nexus S
The biggest reason for the phone's very existence is that it's the first phone with Android 2.3, also known as Gingerbread. Both Nexus phones have been geared toward developers because this is a great way to test out the latest firmware updates on a real-life emulator before it becomes available on any other device.
Why should we care about Gingerbread? Just like every other Android firmware update, several improvements and added features get thrown in, making the Android experience better each time. Here are some features and improvements that come packaged with Gingerbread:
NFC: Near-Field Communications, aka NFC, is a relatively new concept to mobile phones outside of Asia. But with Gingerbread now allowing the feature, look for NFC to start exploding in popularity over the next year. NFC is similar to Bluetooth in many ways, but on an even more secure basis. Right now NFC tags can be found in certain restaurants and retail shops, and when you swipe your phone across one of these tags it will download coupons, advertisements, and other information. Once it's running at full speed, however, NFC-equipped phones can act as your wallet, making transactions and completing payments. There are many possibilities with NFC, and it certainly will be a huge part of the future of smartphones.
Improved copy/paste: With Gingerbread it's now much easier to copy and paste, because you can now easily select a word or entire phrase by dragging a set of "bounding arrows" (similar to the blue dots found on iOS when doing copy and paste) to your preferred selection.
New and improved keyboard: There are a few improvements in the keyboard. First, the keys are reshaped and repositioned. This makes the keys larger and easier to see. It also adds in a built-in dictionary, with the ability to correct your words from dictionary suggestions, and even gives you the option to switch from text input to voice input when replacing that word.
Finally, the new keyboard also enables multitouch key-chording. This means that you can enter entire strings of numbers and symbols by just holding down the ?123 button as long as you need, and then just let go when you need to go back to letters. This will allow for faster typing when letters, numbers and symbols are all involved. There are also certain keys that when held down, a pop-up menu will appear that offers several different symbol and character options.
Improvements in gaming development: Gingerbread offers gyroscope support, 3D vector detection, and several other gaming-related APIs for developers to create even better and more realistic and challenging games.
Internet Calling: Gingerbread now supports SIP calling through VoIP apps. It also lets you choose between answering a call through Skype or the phone when it's one of your Skype contacts calling.
Access to multiple cameras on one device: Developers will now be able to take full advantage of both the rear and front cameras.
Improved power management: The Nexus S has much better battery life than its Android brethren, mainly due to improvements in the way Gingerbread manages running apps. It uses a smart app manager program that will shut down background apps if they've kept the device awake too long or are just using up too much CPU. This same app also gives you more access to those running apps, letting you see exactly how the battery is being used.
Subtle orange light when at end of list: This may sound trivial, because it is, but I love it. Scrolling to the bottom or top of a list, you'll now see a small orange light on either the bottom or top of your screen, showing you that you can't scroll any further beyond that point. Again, a small thing, but yet a clever addition to Android.
Here are some other screenshots of Gingerbread.

Specs and features of the Nexus S
The choice of hardware components for the Nexus S is confusing. In some ways the S is portrayed as a top-of-the-line phone with best-in-market components, but there are a few specs on the Nexus S that aren't even as good as the Galaxy S.
Front-facing Camera: Yes – VGA (Galaxy S has none)
Rear-facing Camera: 5 MP with LED flash
Video capture: 480p; no HD video capture (Galaxy S has 720p HD)
Processor/RAM: 1 GHz Hummingbird; 512 MB RAM (both same as Galaxy S)
Internal memory: 16 GB (MicroSD adds 32 GB max)
Battery life: superb (much better than Galaxy S)
High-speed internet: Max 7.2 Mbps; no 4G (HSPA+ or LTE) access
HDMI: None (Same as GS, but Droid X, EVO 4G, and Atrix 4G all have this)
Mobile hotspot: Yes
Where Does the Nexus S Miss?
When the Nexus S was officially announced, there was an impression amongst the tech community that this would be Google's true flagship device, throwing in the best that Android has to offer all into one handset. The simple truth is, however, that it isn't top of the line at all.
Sure, it has Gingerbread, the Contour display, and the front-facing camera. But look at the upper echelon of Androids announced at CES two weeks ago: most have dual-core processors, front-facing camera of at least 1.3 MP, some sort of 4G technology (LTE, HSPA+, or WiMax), and there were some that added in HDMI support and full 1080p HD video capture. Oh, and a few of them will come Gingerbread, the rest will likely be upgraded to it within a few months.
The Nexus S doesn't have HDMI. It doesn't have 4G of any kind. Heck, it doesn't even have HD video capture. You may argue that you don't care to use any of those things anyway, and that's acceptable. The reason I find it a frustration (besides the fact that I do use them, and on a regular basis) is because this is supposed to be a top-notch phone but doesn't offer many specs that are already prevalent in several other Android phones. What can the Nexus S offer me that these other phones cannot, besides Gingerbread? Within a couple months after launch, the Nexus S is already becoming obsolete.
I noticed it was very easy to transfer music over to the Nexus S, as it just involved dragging and dropping files in my Windows Explorer. I could easily find it in the stock Android music player, but was disappointed by the lack of audio EQ capabilities. No huge issue, though — my solution to the problem was to download one of many music players available in the Android Market. Doing so allowed me to have easy access to EQ settings as well as a plethora of other audio preferences.
Where does the Nexus S Hit the Spot?
On the other hand, one area where the Nexus S holds a special charm over any other Android phone is the fact that it's completely vanilla Android. In other words, customizable. There isn't a proprietary UI getting in the way of you being able to fully enjoy your own Android experience exactly the way you want it.
And the Gingerbread really is a significant update to Android. The battery life, if nothing else, make the Nexus S experience a great one. Not to mention the improved multi-touch keyboard and gaming improvements. Plus the Gingerbread UI is the easiest and most robust of any other vanilla Android version out there.
Overall impressions of the Nexus S
When reviewing phones I prefer to be as fair as possible. Every phone has its good and bad points, and it's only fair to make sure I mention both sides. All that truly frustrates me about the Nexus S is the fact that it should have better specs than it actually does. It's actually a great phone — processor speed is faster than usual because it runs vanilla Android, battery life has improved, and call quality was perfectly fine — and it just happens to use Gingerbread and have some cool design elements. But the hype on this phone was completely over the top, and unfortunately it just doesn't live up to that hype. If the expectations were lower, the outlook of the Nexus S would be much more highly regarded.
I was very impressed by the performance of the Nexus S, as mentioned above. One thing that I enjoyed about having Gingerbread on the Nexus S is that this is arguably the best stock Android experience I've seen so far. I didn't miss having any special UI experiences at all, because the stock user interface was well polished.
But it may not be enough. If you're looking for the latest and greatest, be on the lookout for some of those devices announced at CES: the Motorola Atrix 4G, the LG Revolution, the Droid Bionic, to name just a few. I can, however, recommend the Nexus S to developers who want Gingerbread right now to test their apps, to Android purists who prefer to put their own customizations on their phones instead of letting the OEMs do it, and to anyone wanting a great quality Android phone without caring about the nitpicky hardware specs.
The Samsung Nexus S can be purchased at Best Buy.

On a given day at St. Edmund's Academy, the eighth grader you see on the playdeck racing his Kindergarten buddy may have just turned in a 16-page research paper on the Great Depression and its impacts on banking in America. The fourth grader who performed her first solo in the Spring Concert displayed her unique invention in the fourth grade Invention Convention last week. And the teacher who helps two first graders work through their conflict after math class will be on the basketball court coaching the junior varsity boys after school.
Odd combinations? We don't think so.
At St. Edmund's Academy, we call them well-rounded students and teachers who combine their passion for their work with their compassion for others. As an independent, coeducational school for students in Preschool through 8th grade, St. Edmund's Academy teaches students to follow our six Core Values while pursuing success in a rigorous academic curriculum as well as in athletics and the arts. Understanding that every child is an individual with unique strengths, St. Edmund's Academy is a school where the racers and writers, the athletes and inventors, the mathematicians and musicians can thrive.
St. Edmund's Academy provides an exceptional independent school experience for Preschool through 8th grade students combining rigorous academic curriculum with enduring Core Values and rich tradition in a nurturing environment.
A St. Edmund's Academy education is best understood through its six Core Values, which are woven into the daily life of the school. These values articulate the high expectations of St. Edmund's Academy students and help build a strong sense of self for its students.
St. Edmund's Academy's Preschool through 8th grade program has many benefits, starting with the social interaction among its students. We believe, and research shows, that it is good for younger students to have older role models to help them grasp the purpose and progression of their education. Our Upper School students (Grades 5-8) are given special opportunities to mature as leaders with a sense of accountability.
Research also demonstrates that eighth graders in Preschool through 8th grade schools post higher test scores, display higher grades in ninth grade, and are less likely to succumb to negative peer pressure. This doesn't surprise us. Our faculty and administrators, trained in child development and elementary/middle school education, form strong bonds with our students. Those relationships help drive home to our students that their ideas and actions matter. Students leave St. Edmund's Academy as strong members of our community, well-rounded and well-prepared for the challenges of secondary school.

Robert D. Manning, a professor in the college
of business at Rochester Institute of Technology, founder
of Creditcardnation.com
and author of the forthcoming "Give Yourself Credit!",
agrees society's pressures are squeezing this generation dry.
"It's not only having difficulties managing current financial
demands, it's a generation expected to assume a much larger
obligation of its cost of retirement," he says. He sprinkles
adjectives such as "novel," "unique" and
"unprecedented" throughout his assessment of their
"Clearly this is a generation that has
been set out in a life raft and told to row to shore. They
don't know if they have the will or the imperative to make
it worth their while," he says.
"Twenty-five years ago, nobody would have
offered a college freshman who's never had a job a $50,000
credit card limit," he says. "These kids are being
told that staying out of debt is an old-school, parental value,
so rebelling is to enjoy a lifestyle now and get into debt.
"But the margin of financial error is so
small that any problem -- lose a job, get sick, family crisis
-- and they have no recourse but to declare bankruptcy."
Ninfo refuses to let parents off the hook, either.
He assigns blame at the personal level, using examples such
as his own family members who sent their daughters off to
college having used only $10-per-bottle Scott Miller Salon
shampoo. "Yet my sister thinks they'll use a $2 bottle
of Prell from CVS when they get to campus. My nieces don't
know Prell exists and couldn't find CVS if their lives depended
on it," he says.
He's full of stories in this ilk. For instance,
in the old days, parents treated students to a nice restaurant
when they visited, and the next day the kids returned to the
dorm cafeteria line. Today's scholars return to the restaurant
because that's the familiar standard of living. And don't
get him started on how college students get sucked into expensive
lifestyles keeping up with the Joneses on campus. He's heard
case after case of kids trying to blend in with their Lexus-driving
No wonder he's seen bankruptcies among the under-25
crowd soar 96 percent in the last 10 years.
If he sounds harsh with his wants-vs.-needs
handouts and "if you can eat it, pay cash" rules,
it's because he's also wise to the consequences. Bankruptcy
can mean the petitioner loses out on student loans for graduate
school, is passed over for jobs because of credit card problems
and pays higher insurance rates. "The consequences are
much greater for them than their parents," Ninfo says.
"They can't afford to have a strike against them."
But just-say-no programs won't work for
a generation that Draut sees as driven to economic hardship
by a starting salary too low to cover rent, utilities and
health care. "A lot of young people I talk to know very
well the difference between wants and needs, and are still
in credit card trouble," she says. Even the crazy, out-of-control
spending sprees reflect the economic insecurity of this country
in her book.
Meanwhile, Manning says the real answer lies
in a society that starts smelling the coffee. "It's essential
Americans recognize the promise of unlimited resources is
over. The government will not be there for this generation,
so they need to start targeting their financial goals in five-
and 10-year increments."
True reform, he believes, will happen only through
an awareness-building, skill-building and behavioral-change
approach. So far, he rates Americans as "barely at the
awareness level." Yet he pooh-poohs most literacy programs'
effectiveness because they lack a sense of urgency.
Ninfo agrees. "Ninety-nine percent of my
bankruptcies can balance their checkbook, they just don't.
So we don't teach that because it's not the problem. It's
the addictiveness of credit cards we're addressing,"
he says. His group pours on the real disaster stories, which
he claims gets their attention.
Officials at Junior Achievement also have
jumped into the gap, offering a personal financial literacy
program for middle schoolers beginning in March 2005. Yet
spokeswoman Stephanie Bell admits the cure will be a few years
coming. "Issues like mounting personal debt took a while
to get to this point, so it will take a while to fix these

how can you hide public highlights
Want to highlight a page, but there are already unrelated public highlights on it, which I can't seem to remove. Besides which, they're totally breaking the formatting of the page. Using the Chrome extension.
4 comments
Starfruit2000 commented
I'm using Firefox and I also seem to have the same/similar issues - all my highlights are listed in my Diigo as public! I tried to find a way to set it private but there is no options offered in settings. This seems like a serious bleach of privacy.
I also had a hard time finding this forum on Diigo - I duckduckgo-ed, I googled - why is it so hard?
Gene Tognetti commented
I'm trying to also highlight a part of a page with some public notes (re-highlight for my purposes) in a PRIVATE file I need. Can't do it. This needs to be fixed...
Ms. Ronning commented
I'm having the exact same problem...anything here?
jbetonio commented
Same question for chrome. I just moved from firefox and while I could put up with not having all the features of the toolbar, this hiding of public notes is a big one for me. Nothing in the diigo highlighter extension options, no options when looking at a public note.

The Imvuselelo campaign is a campaign aimed at building strong and vibrant ANC branches, which are capable of providing leadership to all sectors of the population and which are visible in community development efforts and struggles at ward level.
The ANC is in an alliance with the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). Each Alliance partner is an independent organisation with its own constitution, membership and programmes. The Alliance is founded on a common commitment to the objectives of the National Democratic Revolution, and the need to unite the largest possible cross-section of South Africans behind these objectives.
