Purpose [top]
Describes the organizational structure, roles, and responsibilities for the management of information security at Channel Islands.
Background [top]
The President delegates to the VP for Technology & Communication the authority to develop, implement, and document the organizational structure of the campus information security program, and the authority to appoint a campus information security officer (ISO). This document describes the information security program and the roles and responsibilities of the ISO, as required by ICSUAM Policy Number 8015.0.
CI participates in the California State University's Virtual Information Security Center (VISC). The VISC enables CI to develop a highly effective and professional information security program while conserving campus resources. This policy delineates the roles and responsibilities of campus personnel and the VISC for information security.
A related standard, "4.0 Information Security Roles and Responsibilities" (currently in draft), provides further guidance and definitions for the roles each campus should define. The T&C Business Practice on the Organization and Management of Information Security complies with ICSUAM Policy Number 8015.0 and is modeled after the draft standard. Policy details have been adapted to fit CI's campus needs, consistent with the ICSUAM Policy 8015.0 and language of the Standard.

The Film:
"Beneath" continues the tradition of having characters stuck in sticky situations in which there seems to be no easy escape from. It's a general premise we've seen several times before in films like "ATM," where we find the characters stuck in a small building containing an ATM while a killer waits for them outside, and "Frozen," where three people get stuck on a ski lift several feet in the air. With "Beneath," we have a group of six friends who are out celebrating their recent graduation. For their one last get together before they go their separate ways, they decide to boat across a lake and have a party. However, things quickly get out of hand when a monstrous fish begins attacking them and their boat. What started out as a fun getaway suddenly turns into a fight for survival as they must find a way to get back to shore before the creature kills them all.
While the "stuck in a sticky situation" premise can make for some nail-biting tension (see "Phone Booth"), most of the time it ends up falling flat on its face, and unfortunately this is another instance where it does just that. The main problem that such a premise has, and to which the others I mentioned up top fall victim to, is that these are situations that can easily be solved by anyone with half a brain. "ATM" gave the characters several chances to escape. "Frozen" had at least a couple of simple solutions that would have seen the characters safely to the ground. Likewise, "Beneath" has a few solutions that would have prevented so much chaos from ensuing, but as with the other films, the other problem is that if the characters find the solution just as easily as the audience, then there wouldn't be much of a film.
However, beyond that, there are several things in this film that simply don't add up. From early on, we are told that one of them knows about the creature in the lake, and yet, he decides not to tell anyone about it. As to why, we can only guess, but once more it probably has something to do with the fact that if he did say something then the situation would never occur. Later on, once their predicament begins, we find the characters acting in the most inane manner possible. Obviously, this isn't anything new, but it does add on to the frustration of how much of what's to come could have been avoided. For example, breaking their one good oar while using it as a weapon against the fish wasn't the smartest thing they could have done. At least they manage to find a solution to that part of their problem later on, but by this point, the characters have broken down so much that all they can do is continue to act like imbeciles.
As for the audience, all we can really do is shake our heads as the petty jealousies erupt among the love triangle, causing them to lose sight of what's a little more important than whether or not one character made out with another. To top off the long list of problems with this film, it's simply too long. Even at just under 90 minutes, it's very stretched out with unnecessary fluff. I would say that it might have worked better as a short film, but given the overarching problems with the premise, I don't think even that would do it. Like other films of this type, "Beneath" has a flawed foundation, and because of that there's little that can be done to save it. With absurdity stacked on top of absurdity, all you get here is a film that's laughably unbelievable.
"Beneath" is presented in a 1.78:1, 1080p High Definition transfer of excellent quality. The picture is crisp and clear and actually looks better than some big-budget films I've seen on Blu-ray. The DTS-HD Master Audio presents another soundtrack that's a little soft, but once adjusted, all sounds come through perfectly clear. Given that this is a Shout! Factory release, it's no surprise that we get pretty good quality in both departments.
Special Features:
- Audio Commentary by Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick
- A Look Behind Beneath: Making the "Fish Movie"
- Outtakes
- Fessenden on Jaws
- From the Web: What the Zeke?
- What's in Black Lake?
The main extras to pay attention to here are the "Making of" featurette and the Outtakes (these are of the non-comedic variety), both of which feature a ton of behind the scenes footage of the film being made. Unfortunately the commentary is extremely dull and bland as Fessenden (director/editor) and Reznick (sound designer) don't have any interesting insights into the making of the film. As for "Fessenden on Jaws," "What the Zeke?," and "What's in Black Lake?," these were all completely pointless additions that don't have anything to do with the making of the film.
Sadly, this is another instance where no amount of great special features could have saved this release from getting denied a recommendation. The film is simply too sloppy and full of holes, many of which should have been easily noticed from the writing of the script through pre-production. Films like this can work, but you need to make sure that the premise is plausible and not one that can easily be gotten out of. As we've clearly seen, this is a common mistake that filmmakers make, which merely turns "Beneath" into another misguided project to toss on the heap.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Saud Al-Faisal, at a press conference today after meeting in Cairo with President of Egypt Hosni Mubarak, affirmed that some of the proposals in the document presented in Tunis by Saudi Arabia, together with Egypt and Syria, had achieved acceptance. He reiterated the Kingdom's concern to take part in summit meetings of the League of Arab States, declaring that what happened in Tunis should be put aside, and that efforts towards Arab solidarity should be continued so that Arabs are able to confront today's major problems such as Palestine and Iraq. In the current circumstances, he said, it is essential to hold a Summit as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, President Mubarak has reiterated that Egypt wants an Arab Summit to be held within three weeks, and believes the cancellation of the Tunis Summit to be unwarranted.

This editorial ran in thenerve.org, an online publication of the S.C. Policy Council, an independent, nonprofit research group promoting free-market policies and government transparency.
Exactly one year ago, The Nerve's Rick Brundrett published a story on how legislative caucuses – the General Assembly's partisan strategizing organizations – somehow get to avoid being designated as public entities. This despite the fact that they meet, rent-free, in public office space and by definition deal with public business.
A few news items, two from South Carolina and two national:
Item one: S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson called David Pascoe (the special prosecutor that Wilson appointed) a "liar" over his handling of a public corruption case.
It began with a barrage of harsh words from Wilson delivered with great heat and passion and ended with a flurry of papers filed in court. Gov. Nikki Haley called the whole thing "an embarrassing mess." There's no reason to think it won't continue for a while.
I want to thank Principal Chris Thorpe and all the staff at Indian Land Middle School for all the guidance they provide for our kids.
I feel safe letting my child out in the morning, knowing he will get the best of care.
The front-office staff is always very efficient and kind every time I ask for help. And all the great teachers do so much for our kids. And thank you to our special police officer for the great way he keeps us safe and on time.
North Carolina's HB2 law is simple and proper – only use the restroom that matches your biological sex.
Apple and Cisco, among other companies, are insisting that North Carolina force everyone to accept or allow people to use the restroom of their choice. They are threatening to leave the state. Why aren't they threatening to leave Iran or Saudi Arabia, who are actually murdering homosexuals?
How do you feel when you help make someone else's dream come true? That's what you're doing when you volunteer to work on a Habitat home.
Most folks who have done it will tell you it's gratifying and can be downright addicting.
National Volunteer Week is a fitting time to celebrate the people who make the work of Habitat for Humanity of Lancaster County possible. Volunteers are the heartbeat of Habitat. We are grateful for our current volunteers and looking for more.
I have heard a lot of comment over the last few weeks about how the new storage unit buildings that have gone up on U.S. 521 in Indian Land are unattractive, with their flat facades facing the road, parallel to the road and only a few feet back from the road.
Billy McCoy has filed to run for sheriff of Lancaster because, quote, "He (Sheriff Faile) has been in office long enough." Also, he states that Sheriff Faile has relatives who once were sheriff. What does that have to do with Barry Faile?
In my opinion, there is no time limit for the office of sheriff as long as the job is getting done, and that it is. Sheriff Faile and his department are doing an excellent job, so why change?
Billy McCoy, if that is your main reason for running for sheriff of Lancaster, then you should rethink this idea.
We have reached a point where we, as Americans, must make a decision.
Do we adhere strictly to the values that have shaped our nation, or do we accept that as the world changes, so must our value system? If the world functioned in a rational, civilized manner, the old ways would always be the right ways and we could go on forever, avoiding change.
Sadly, we can all see that things, they are a-changing'.

Moretz would play the female lead of Phoebe, while the male lead is currently being cast. Steven Knight ("Eastern Promises") initially adapted the script which Gervasi has since rewritten.
Steven Rales and Beth O'Neil will produce and shooting aims to begin as early as late January.

Five UIC Baseball Alums Win NABF World Series
Aug. 28, 2012
Five former UIC baseball alums were recently crowned 2012 World Series Champions of the National Amateur Baseball Federation (NABF) Major Division as part of the Chicago Clout. Armand Candea (1999), Al Candea (1999), Kevin Renken (1983), Marc Camardo (1983) and Jim Noble (1983) are all members of the Clout squad who won the title with a decisive 8-2 victory over the St. John's-Lefty's Saints in Buffalo, N.Y. on Aug. 19.
The Clout rolled through the Ft. Wayne, Indiana NABF Double-Elimination Regional Tournament the previous weekend with a perfect 4-0 record to advance to the World Series.
Armand Candea earned special recognition by being named World Series MVP as he hit 13-for-21 (.619) during the event. Candea was also honored as league's batting champion.
The Clout, which plays their home games at Pacetti Field in Oak Lawn, Ill., finished the season on a 30-3 run and a best-ever team record of 34-9-1. They are the founding members of the Skyscraper Baseball League and were the first Chicagoland baseball squad to win the NABF Major Division World Series in 2001. Founded in 1914, the National Amateur Baseball Federation is the oldest National Baseball Federation in the United States.

Eve Bunting doesn't disappoint, even with her books for very beginning chapter book readers. "Frog and Friends: Frog Saves the Day" is a book that's just right for those just beginning their adventure into chapter books. It has two stories, and both are stories that will make children laugh.
It can be important to ease some readers gently into chapter books. They are reluctant to leave the pictures behind, but don't want to be left out while their friends are reading chapter books. Beginning chapter books can bridge that gap.
"Frog and Friends" is labeled for grades one and two, but it might be appropriate for hesitant third graders or precocious kindergarteners. It has plenty of text but also illustrations that will help children visualize what is going on in the story.
The stories include one about a green dragon. Kids will be amused when they realize that the green dragon is a train. The animals discuss how horrible it is that the "dragon" ate all the people they see inside. The second story is about a possum with five babies named One, Two, Three, Four and Five. Five slips into the river. Frog saves the baby. It's cleverly written and kids will love the happy and humorous ending.
Perfect for primary classrooms or for reading aloud at home, this book will be enjoyed by kids of many ages.
Please note: This review is based on the final softcover book provided by the publisher, Sleeping Bear Press, for review purposes.

Crean called on his brother-in-law, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh, who won the Super Bowl last month beating his brother, Jim, and the San Francisco 49ers.
CBS Sports reporter Rachel Nichols spokes with Harbaugh about what he said to the Hoosiers. Harbaugh told Nichols he emphasized how important momentum would be in the contest. He also told the Hoosiers that after watching them at times this season, they remind him of his football team and he thinks they can win the championship.
Harbaugh was hardly going out on a limb there. If the Hoosiers do win it all, it won't be a surprise and won't be anything close to the Ravens pulling out a near-miracle victory at Denver in the playoffs before also beating New England and the 49ers.
But if you need someone to give your team a little added motivation before a game, it's hard to beat the guy who just won the Super Bowl.

(Dwarf Serbian Spruce)
* Full Sun - Part shade * Zones 4-7 * 6' tall * 5' wide
A Compact Dwarf Serbian Spruce on a Standard, grows 3-6 inches per year !
You are bidding on a 24-30 inch tall high grafted, Standard Dwarf Serbian spruce. The spread is about 6 inches right now.
Picea omorika 'Nana' Standard is the Dwarf Serbian Spruce that has those soft green needles on the top-side and the bottom side and retains that bluish color. The rounded form is very easy to maintain, a spread of 5.0′-6.0′, and around 5.0′ for the height.
There are now a lot of these type of evergreen standards out there to use but this one has a 2 tone color effect. There is a nice subtle change from green to blue in the needles.
Evergreens on standards like this make an incredibly strong statement in the immediate area they are placed. Becoming a focal point, or at least an exclamation point, needing a supporting cast to show off this plants interesting characteristics. A mass of low perennials, or ground cover is a safe bet, not a group of 4 or 5 deciduous shrubs with the same rounded shape competing for your attention.
These globes also look great as part of a collection of conifers/evergreens. Though I would put them(evergreen standards) next to some lower, wider spreaders.
The other way to use these dwarf globes is as a pair, flanking a sidewalk or guarding the ends of a bed. I guess you would say this is the standard, typical, ho-hum way to be placed in the landscape. it's true, but it works.
Remember this design tip with these types of shrubs . . . think focal point, then place this type of evergreen where you want someone to look, a place of interest, and appreciate what's happening in that space. Then surround these focals with subordinates to support the uniqueness of the evergreen on a standard.
Care: Prefers deep, moist but well-drained, neutral to acidic soil.
Companion Plants:
Goes well with Weeping norway Spruce, Vanderwolf's Pyramid Pine, Thunderhead Pine as well as Giant Weeping Sequoia. Check out our store for these great plants!
We combine shipping charges on multiple orders and ship as soon as payment is recieved.
Thanks for looking!We combine shipping charges on multiple orders, each additional plant is $2.50.

If you pay for your orders individually you will not receive the shipping discount. We ship Priority Mail, Mon.-Wed .

National Post ·
KIMMIRUT, Nunavut - When Lloyd McDougall found Constable Douglas Scott just before midnight on Monday, the young RCMP officer was slumped over in the driver's seat of his police SUV. There was blood in the vehicle, shattered glass in the passenger-side window, and a bullet hole through the Mountie's head.
"I didn't think anybody could survive a wound like that," says Mr. McDougall, Kimmirut's municipal bylaw officer. "So I didn't bother with CPR. I got in my truck and went back to the RCMP house. I told Doug's partner, 'Call backup -- call the plane -- we need the SWAT team, now.' "
There were two crashed vehicles at the scene: a pickup truck and the police SUV.
Mr. McDougall said a witness to the shooting told him he saw a man climb out of the truck -- with a child in one arm and a hunting rifle in the other -- and walk over to Const. Scott's four-by-four, firing into the passenger-side window.
"The constable didn't do anything to defend himself," said Mr. McDougall, "because [the shooter] had his baby in his arms. Doug didn't want to hurt the baby."
Const. Scott was the second Mountie in as many months to die after responding alone to a call in Canada's northern territories. The latest tragedy -- Const. Scott was a rookie, 20-year-old officer on the threshold of his career -- makes as little sense to the 400 souls of this Arctic outpost as it does to anyone else in Canada.
Kimmirut hugs a picturesque ocean inlet on the rugged southern shore of Baffin Island. The community, once called Lake Harbour, is little more than a clutch of plywood homes and buildings sprouting from the permafrost in the vast icy wastes of Nunavut.
Up Here magazine once dubbed this the "friendliest town in the North." Today, it is a place of profound sorrow, anger, and confusion.
"I'm still in shock over what happened," said Saqiqtaq Temela, who works in the hamlet office and spoke his last words to Const. Scott on the night he died.
"I'm shaking my head. We're all puzzled about why this could happen."
Pingoatuk Kolola, known here as "Ping," was charged this week with Const. Scott's murder. The 37-year-old maintenance worker with the Kimmirut Housing Association was a quiet, occasionally brooding man, yet he wasn't known as a troublemaker.
Mr. Kolola and his pregnant girlfriend, Oolitua Judea, lived with their nine-month-old son in Tasilik, a small "subdivision" of new duplexes near the hockey arena on a hill overlooking the village.
Residents say Mr. Kolola was known for little else except going to work, looking after his family and minding his business -- until Monday night.
The trouble started about 10:30 p.m., when Mr. Kolola's girlfriend arrived at Mr. McDougall's door, frightened and crying. She told the bylaw officer and his wife that Mr. Kolola was drunk and threatening her.
At that moment he was searching for her, tearing around the hamlet's snowy roads in his blue, Housing Association pickup, with his baby son on board.
Like many northern towns, Kimmirut is a dry community; alcohol is officially forbidden. But Mr. Mc-Dougall says Mr. Kolola and his girlfriend were fighting over a bottle of vodka she had been hiding from him in their duplex.
Mr. McDougall got dressed to deal with the disturbance.
Soon after 11 p.m., Const. Scott also climbed into his RCMP 4-by-4 to respond to a complaint about Mr. Kolola, who was racing around town at high speed, honking his horn.
Two other men, who worked with Mr. Kolola at the housing association, were also trying to defuse the situation that night. Along with Const. Scott, the co-workers were chasing Mr. Kolola through the village on trucks and snowmobiles, in the hopes of catching him and calming him down.
Before Mr. McDougall could join them, one of the co-workers burst into his house with astonishing news.
"The cop's been shot in the head."
Mr. McDougall jumped in his truck and drove to the Tasilik subdivision. On the icy gravel road leading to the duplexes, he saw Mr. Kolola's blue pickup, crashed into a new home under construction. A few metres away on the road was Const. Scott's 4-by-4.
Mr. Kolola was nowhere in sight. The windows in his duplex were dark. Mr. McDougall walked over to the RCMP truck and saw Const. Scott's lifeless body inside.
Meanwhile, Mr. Kolola had barricaded himself inside the duplex along with his baby and his boss -- who had been awoken by Mr. Kolola's co-workers and asked to help.
Word spread quickly around town that a Mountie had been killed and the shooter was still free.
Joe Arlooktoo, the hamlet Mayor, said he locked himself in his house and found a hiding place. Mr. Arlooktoo feared the killer might come after him and other hamlet officials.
By 12:30 a.m., an emergency squad of combat-clad Mounties from Iqaluit were in place around Mr. Kolola's home, not far from where Const. Scott lay dead in his vehicle.
By 4 a.m.,Mr. Kolola surrendered and was whisked away in custody to Iqaluit.
"Everybody is sad now," said Namonai Ikkidluak, a local mother. "Those Mounties are only here to help us. They're important people in our community. And now Doug has been taken away from us."
Among the worst affected residents are the children at Qaqqalik School, who revered Const. Scott.
Principal Larry Collins, a native Newfoundlander, called Const. Scott the "Pied Piper of Kimmirut" for the throng of children that trailed after the Mountie every time he appeared in public.
"He had a vibrant and caring personality," Mr. Collins said. "He always had time to talk to the little ones, and they seemed to have an affection for him.
"He was the kind of guy that as soon as you met him, you felt you'd known him all your life."
Mr. Collins ran into Const. Scott's RCMP partner the night of the murder. "He looked at me and said, 'He's gone,' " Mr. Collins remembered.
"I was devastated. I thought it was a mistake. Unbelievable."

Hi I am trying to work out why PHP is returning an 'msword' file type when it should be 'excel' so have tested on my Ubuntu box using both the 'file' and 'mimetype' commands. As you can see from the results below they return different results. Can anybody explain why?
root@dev:~# file --mime-type 1.xls
1.xls: application/msword
root@dev:~# mimetype 1.xls

I should also note the file in question is returning 'msword' on a Windows Server. It was generated using PHPExcel.
Thanks for your help.

"Social Media" is everywhere, and seemingly everyone wants us to like them on Facebook. [Even here in Minnesota, and especially in men's style, we promise! Read on and we'll tell you all about it.]
Wikipedia defines the concept as:
"web-based and mobile technologies used to turn communication into interactive dialogue between organizations, communities, and individuals."
That's basically a fancy way to say that we are doing a whole lot more talking to each other through technology. We share things via a hyperlink, rather than passing a book or newspaper across the table. As new ways to connect continue to spring up and change our relationship dynamics, they also change how businesses interact with us. And even, how they market to us.
Marketing becomes more of a two-way street as businesses monitor what's being said about them on Twitter, Facebook, and various review sites around the internet. They check out what their target market is posting about, and what they are "liking." With the rise of Pinterest (described as "a content sharing service that allows members to "pin" images, videos and other objects to their pinboard" by the site itself), regular people are aggregating content from around the web to create a visual depiction of what's cool/interesting/fun to them.
Is it any wonder that the effects of this seismic change are being felt, even in men's style?
Pinboards like this one on men's style from Tim Baker aside, Pinterest has often been seen as a domain for women (and especially creative, artsy types). In the wake of Pinterest's explosion in popularity though, more overtly men-oriented sites are beginning to pop-up and gain traction - like Gentlemint and Manteresting, for example. These though, are not ostensibly dedicated to style, although they do feature some style-related shares.
But men's style is making its mark in the world of social media, and you don't have to look any farther than Minnesota to get started. In 2010, some of the stylish guys in the Twin Cities saw what some of their lady friends were doing with the #summerofdresses movement, and started their own movement: #summerofdapper, launching a wave of stylish guys on the summer and a whole lot of press. With their user supported blog, they are about to open their third summer of capturing great sartorial moments brought to you by guys just like you.
And to think, it used to be that The Sartorialist was one of the only places you could see "real" style happening. (Frankly, it's still a fantastic site for inspiration, ideas, and killing a few minutes. But you now have a source for Minnesota style as well!) And, others have started to figure out (just like the Dapper guys) that a picture is worth a thousand words. Retailers and magazines like JCrew and GQ have launched their own Tumblr sites to highlight style trends and fashion advice. [Tumblr is a microblogging site, like Twitter, that is heavy on image-driven posts.] But regular guys are also pulling together their own Tumblr blogs - like Man of Style, 30 and Broke, and He Got Style.
Even this column is evidence in the growing wave of social media and how it has changed the way we get information. So tell us, here at Minneapolis Men's Style, what do you think? Are there sites that inspire you, or do you not even notice all of the online inspiration now available to you? Sound off in the comments below, and tell us what you think.
For more on men's style, check out Bethany's other work, or subscribe via email to get it delivered piping hot to your inbox. Have a question or comment? Email her at email@example.com and you may just see it here.

If you don't keep daily tabs in your finances including your plastic credit card, you could be in for some serious trouble should you discover it missing one day. Luckily, today's credit card companies have a much better policy and protocol in place for such emergencies but there is still a risk that if you don't act fast when a credit card has been lost or stolen, you could lose more than your card.
Here is what you need to know about handling an MIA credit card:
Check Your Stuff Regularly
If you are busy all the time, running from one place to the next, it may be hard to remember what you did during any one day. Get into the habit of sitting down each night and check through your wallet to ensure all of your debit and credit cards are accounted for if they were used during the day. The sooner you know something is amiss, the faster you can act. If you don't realize your card has been missing for a period of time, you may be out of luck when the time allowance per the credit card agreement has already passed, leaving you liable for the fraudulent charges. Get on The Phone
When you do realize a credit card is missing, you need to act immediately by calling your credit card company and reporting it. By reporting a missing or stolen card that has been subsequently used fraudulently, you will only be held responsible for a small portion of liability (usually up to $50). In many cases, depending on your card, you may not be required to pay anything at all.
Make A List
In case you ever lose just one card or a whole wallet full of information, you should always have a back up list of your credit cards, the company contact number, your account number, and other identifying pieces of information photocopied and listed on a separate sheet of paper, stored safely at home. In the event you lose something, you'll have a handy list to reference.
Carry Only What You Need
Get out of the habit of carrying everything you have on your person at one time. In the event you lose your purse or become the victim of a theft or mugging, you don't lose access to all of your financial resources. Instead of having to cancel all of your credit cards at one time, you might only have one or two to worry about.
Fraud Can Be Slick
Con artists have so much more technology and inventive ways to steal your money. Many don't even need the actual card to steal from you. The only way to protect yourself is to consistently check your monthly statement for unauthorized charges and report anything unusual immediately. Never give information about your credit cards or finances over the internet or over the phone, unless you initiated the phone all. Shred all of your old credit cards and information rather than toss them in the trash for others to easily find.
Follow Up
When you have to report a lost or stolen card, make sure you stay up on your credit card company to ensure the matter is being taken care of properly.

Northern Iowa Clips UMass, 7-5
March 22, 2004
BRADENTON, Fla. - UNI defeated Massachusetts, 7-5, in a rescheduled game at the IMG Baseball Academy in Bradenton, Fla. All nine Panthers were able to get a hit in the victory, with senior Seth Moulton leading the team with three. UMass senior Mike Athas (Holyoke, Mass.) led the Minutemen with three hits and an RBI.
Southpaw Jake Hansen had a good outing on the mound, striking out eight batters.
The Panthers didn't take long to find their rhythm today as the first four batters had hits. Moulton lead the game off with an infield single, Pat Moran moved him to second on his single to left field, while Dan Grant cleared the bases with a home run. The seniors blast went about 400 feet over the scoreboard in right center and he gave UNI the early 3-0 lead. Sean LaCoste and Joe Burgett rounded out the Panthers five hits in the first inning.
The Minutemen added two runs in the third inning, but UNI responded with two of its own in the fourth. John Winter scored from third on a wild pitch and Moran's single into left scored Jose Guzman. UMass scored three to tie the game up in the bottom of the sixth off of four hits.
In the top of the seventh, UNI knew it needed to respond as the game was scheduled to go just seven innings. LaCoste and Armando Lara starting things off with singles, when Winter had the game winning RBIs with his single into center. Drew Wold came into the game in the bottom half to close down the Minutemen for his first save as a Panther.

Now, more than ever, we need the United Nations
October 22, 2010 by Gerald Martone
|Women displaced by violence in Darfur, Sudan Photo: Gerald Martone/The IRC
October 24 is United Nations Day.
On this day in 1945, fifty nations gathered in San Francisco to finalize the Charter of the United Nations. Little did they know that the United Nations would go on to win the Nobel Peace Prize – seven times.
Although the United Nations offers no quick fixes, it is one place where all nations of the world can come together, set international standards, and take collective action.
The treaties and international agreements brokered by the United Nations make the world go round. The work of the UN has improved the international cooperation needed to allow ships and planes to cross borders; to regulate telecommunications, broadcasting, and postal service; to oversee international trade and labor laws; to coordinate response to epidemics; and to enforce court judgments across borders.
The United Nations helps to advance human rights and fundamental freedoms for all people, improve the standards of living worldwide, promote social progress, resolve conflict and prevent security threats, address climate change, and assist refugees and people uprooted by war and disasters. There is simply no other single global institution with a mandate as broad as this.
It is a cruel irony that at a time of the most monumental technological advances in the history of human civilization, we also have the greatest number of people who do not have enough food, water, medicine, and shelter. For addressing the worrisome mega-trends that the world faces, the United Nations might simply be one of the most important institutions we have.
It's hard to imagine a global meeting place with a membership of 192 countries. This near universal representation encompasses a diversity which includes almost every political system, ethnicity, religion, race, and nationality in the world -- with more than half of the UN's membership consisting of nations that have less than 10 million people.
But the United Nations is also a formidable implementer of programs on the ground. The UN conducts multibillion dollar peacekeeping missions, humanitarian relief operations, and countless other complex mediation and dispute settlement interventions.
Here in the United States, some of the biggest problems we face cannot be solved by our country alone. The global economic crisis, national security, global warming, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, migration, narcotics trafficking, organized crime, and the spread of diseases are problems that require intensive international cooperation.
Global problems require global solutions. If the United Nations didn't exist, we would have to invent it.
The world is learning the hard way that we can't innovate our way out of climate change, we can't fund ourselves out of global poverty, we can't legislate our way out of international crime, and we can't fight our way out of extremism. For many of today's conflicts, there are no military solutions.
Although it often seems like a bloated bureaucracy at times, the United Nations is actually a good value on the dollar. The UN has a smaller budget than the University of Pennsylvania and utilizes fewer staff than Disney World.
For every American, the United Nations only costs about two dollars of our taxes each year. And the United States derives significant economic benefit from the UN's purchase of American goods and services and employment of thousands of U.S. citizens both here and abroad. Over 3.5 billion dollars is pumped back into the U.S. economy each year. For every dollar the U.S. invests in the United Nations, about $1.50 is returned.
But the United Nations cannot solve all the world's problems. It is only as effective as its board of directors – the member states – allow it to be. Many countries will first act in their own national self-interest before taking the larger problems of the world into account. The term "international community" sometimes seems like an oxymoron. It is ironic that some of the world's greatest democracies are also some of the greatest opponents to global democracy.
Each year armed violence costs the world up to $400 billion in lost productivity. And some of the worst of these situations arise from weak and ungoverned regions of the world. President George W. Bush recognized that America is now threatened more by failing states than by conquering ones.
United Nations Peacekeepers have been called on to intervene in some of the most intractable and unrelenting conflicts in the world. Since Peacekeepers were first conceived, they have been dispatched over sixty times to maintain peace and security.
UN Peacekeepers are currently deployed in fifteen conflicts around the world on four different continents. With over 100,000 troops, they are the second largest deployed military force in the world. And it is a relatively cost-effective intervention for maintaining peace and security. According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, United Nations Peacekeeping is eight times less expensive – just 12 cents on the dollar – than deploying a comparable force of U.S. troops.
Like his predecessors, President Obama noted that the United Nations is imperfect but it is also indispensable. The UN is invaluable in promoting U.S. interests abroad. And the collateral damage from unilateral actions are just too costly.
Based on current trends, the world can expect to be confronted with a major emergency of human displacement every sixteen months and a massive emergency every two years. As the United Nations' second secretary-general -- Dag Hammarskjöld -- once said, the UN wasn't created to bring us to heaven but to save us from hell.
Now, more than ever, we need the United Nations.

ISA to pfSense or Windows to FreeBSD - FQDN and DNS
I am currently doing the migration from ISA to pfSense firewall and I have a webserver hosting different sites, when trying to duplicate the rules of ISA, I noticed the FQDN of the sites was declared in the firewall rules of ISA (I was not the one who setup the ISA server).
What does this mean, FQDN in firewall rules?
Do I really have to declare the FQDN in pfSense, instead of just forward port 80 to the webserver?
All domains were set to our own NS servers (NS1 in W2k3 Active Directory, NS2 in Freebsd), is it safe and wise to use the pfSense gateway as the NS server to replace the current NS1 server?
As you noticed, my ultimate goal is to replace the current windows boxes to BSD boxes. Any ideas and info would be greatly appreciated... Thank you in advance.

From GlusterDocumentation
- 1 Purpose
- 1.1 Automatically Deploying GlusterFS with Puppet-Gluster+Vagrant
- 1.2 Really Really Quick Start Guide
- 1.3 Step 1 – Have at least two nodes
- 1.4 Step 2 - Format and mount the bricks
- 1.5 Step 3 - Installing GlusterFS
- 1.6 Step 4 - Configure SELinux and iptables
- 1.7 Step 5 - Configure the trusted pool
- 1.8 Step 6 - Set up a GlusterFS volume
- 1.9 Step 7 - Testing the GlusterFS volume
- 2 Wrap Up
This document is intended to give you a step by step guide to setting up GlusterFS for the first time. For this tutorial, we will assume you are using Fedora 20 virtual machines (other distributions and methods can be found in the new user guide, below. We also do not explain the steps in detail here, this guide is just to help you get it up and running as soon as possible. After you deploy GlusterFS by following these steps, we recommend that you read the GlusterFS Admin Guide to learn how to administer GlusterFS and how to select a volume type that fits your needs. Read the GlusterFS New User Guide for a more detailed explanation of the steps we took here. We want you to be successful in as short a time as possible.
If you would like a more detailed walk through with instructions for installing using different methods (in local virtual machines, EC2 and baremetal) and different distributions, then have a look at the Getting Started with GlusterFS guide.
Automatically Deploying GlusterFS with Puppet-Gluster+Vagrant
If you'd like to deploy GlusterFS automatically using Puppet-Gluster+Vagrant, have a look at this article.
Really Really Quick Start Guide
If you want the bare minumum steps to getting started with GlusterFS, take a look at the Really Really Quick Start Guide.
Step 1 – Have at least two nodes
- Fedora 20 on two nodes named "server1" and "server2"
- A working network connection
- At two virtual disks, one for the OS installation, and one to be used to serve GlusterFS storage (sdb). This will emulate a real world deployment, where you would want to separate GlusterFS storage from the OS install.
- Note: GlusterFS stores its dynamically generated configuration files at /var/lib/glusterd. If at any point in time GlusterFS is unable to write to these files, it will at minimum cause erratic behavior for your system; or worse, take your system offline completely. It is advisable to create separate partitions for directories such as /var/log to ensure this does not happen.
Step 2 - Format and mount the bricks
(on both nodes): Note: These examples are going to assume the brick is going to reside on /dev/sdb1.
mkfs.xfs -i size=512 /dev/sdb1 mkdir -p /data/brick1 vi /etc/fstab
Add the following:
/dev/sdb1 /data/brick1 xfs defaults 1 2
Save the file and exit
mount -a && mount
You should now see sdb1 mounted at /data/brick1
Step 3 - Installing GlusterFS
(on both servers) Install the software
yum install glusterfs-server
Start the GlusterFS management daemon:
service glusterd start service glusterd status glusterd.service - LSB: glusterfs server Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/glusterd) Active: active (running) since Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:02:11 -0700; 2s ago Process: 19254 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/glusterd start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/glusterd.service ├ 19260 /usr/sbin/glusterd -p /run/glusterd.pid ├ 19304 /usr/sbin/glusterfsd --xlator-option georep-server.listen-port=24009 -s localhost... └ 19309 /usr/sbin/glusterfs -f /var/lib/glusterd/nfs/nfs-server.vol -p /var/lib/glusterd/...
Step 4 - Configure SELinux and iptables
This is only appicable to Fedora 19 or previous versions. Fedora 20 and later should work fine with SELinux
Change SELinux to either "permissive" or "disabled" mode To put SELinux in permissive mode
setenforce 0
To see the current mode of SELinux
To make the SELinux changes permanent
Change "/etc/selinux/config" and make "SELINUX=disabled" or "SELINUX=permissive" in it
Remove all iptable rules, so that it does not interfere with Gluster
iptables -F
Step 5 - Configure the trusted pool
From "server1"
gluster peer probe server2
Note: When using hostnames, the first server needs to be probed from one other server to set its hostname.
From "server2"
gluster peer probe server1
Note: Once this pool has been established, only trusted members may probe new servers into the pool. A new server cannot probe the pool, it must be probed from the pool.
Step 6 - Set up a GlusterFS volume
On both server1 and server2:
mkdir /data/brick1/gv0
From any single server:
gluster volume create gv0 replica 2 server1:/data/brick1/gv0 server2:/data/brick1/gv0 gluster volume start gv0
Confirm that the volume shows "Started":
gluster volume info
Note: If the volume is not started, clues as to what went wrong will be in log files under /var/log/glusterfs on one or both of the servers - usually in etc-glusterfs-glusterd.vol.log
Step 7 - Testing the GlusterFS volume
For this step, we will use one of the servers to mount the volume. Typically, you would do this from an external machine, known as a "client". Since using the method here would require additional packages be installed on the client machine, we will use the servers as a simple place to test first.
mount -t glusterfs server1:/gv0 /mnt for i in `seq -w 1 100`; do cp -rp /var/log/messages /mnt/copy-test-$i; done
First, check the mount point:
ls -lA /mnt | wc -l
You should see 100 files returned. Next, check the GlusterFS mount points on each server:
ls -lA /data/brick1/gv0
You should see 100 per server using the method we listed here. Without replication, in a distribute only volume (not detailed here), you should see about 50 each.
Wrap Up
So, that's it, about as fast as it can be shown. Make sure to have a look at the Admin Guide and New User guide to help you get a deeper understanding, but this is a great start to have a place to test things out.

SLR Gear, an offshoot website of the Imaging Resource, one of the web's most-trusted resources for all things digital photography, has just posted an in-depth review of the new Panasonic 42.4mm f1.2 ASPH lens, which was designed to be the Micro Four Thirds king of the night.
So, how does it do in practice? Short answer: very well.
Optically, the lens is really good. In terms of sharpness, the lens is good right from the get-go at f1.2, a very impressive feat indeed! The lens does sharpen when stopped down, albeit slightly, peaking in sharpness around f4. In practical terms, though, you probably won't notice any difference in sharpness from f1.2 to f4, though. As for chromatic aberration, vignetting, and distortion, all are very well controlled and should not present any real problems in real-life shooting. The vignetting measurements are especially impressive considering that this is a f1.2 lens, showing less than a stop of falloff
Mechanically, the lens uses all-metal construction and AF via a stepping drive motor, which results in silent, fast (though not as fast as other Panasonic lenses) AF. As for manual focusing capability, this is controlled via an electronic focus ring, which is wide and smooth to rotate. As for what electronic focusing means, it is basically a glorified focus button as there's no mechanical movements of anything inside the lens. Additionally, the lens also features an aperture ring (also electronic) for controlling the lens aperture, too.
If there is one nitpick on this lens, it is, well, there really isn't one aside from the size and weight, which is plainly obvious by reading the specifications. On the other hand, as SLR Gear notes, this is a serious lens for serious shooters who aren't likely to care, anyway. .
Overall conclusion: the Panasonic 42.5mm f1.2 is a great lens "one of the best we've ever tested."

This past weekend, we used an entire loaf of bread for nothing but toast. Usually we're in it for the carbs, but this time, the bread was just a vehicle for the delicious L'Epicurien 3 Citrus Jam ($13). If you ever wanted to experience summer in a jar, this is how to do it! This sweet and tangy orange/lemon/grapefruit jam is impossible to put away. We're trying to stop eating it long enough to make a few jam tarts, but we'll probably have to order another jar for that!

About Me:
The Oxymoron... I silently scream when people are clearly confused about who I may be Now then? Are you saying that I am the larger half of this virtual reality? Am I a genuine imitation? Because I give my unbiased opinion of what is now old news. I am a student teacher….a near miss…..an original copy of what I was supposed to be. If I allow their thoughts to slip me into a great depression… I run the risk of crash landing into deafening silence. Yet I refuse to come to a rolling stop…. It would being sweet sorrow to the followers who know me….the ones that I care to share with. Maybe even the odds…. Since I choose to look through the rose tinted ones and not plastic glasses… This working holiday brings no payday…but it is fine with me…. So I will continue to free trade through this life and live it with fun…. So choose what you want…I choose to stay the oxymoron. Corrie

I recently had the world's scariest rash on my face! Nothing serious, but just unpleasant. It was ugly and lasted about 5 days in which I hid out in my apartment as much as I could and avoided makeup or any other irritants at all cost.
So today was my first day of being back in the world of the living which means getting ready for my day like a normal person and reintroducing myself to my daily routine. Oh yes - and today I was savoring every moment of getting ready. So I figured, what better time than now to share with the world my daily hair and makeup routine and give some shout-outs to some of my favorite products!
Lierac Hydra Chrono+ Intense Rehydrating Balm
Especially during the winter, I spare no opportunity to get a little extra moisture on my skin. That why I love Lierac Hydra Chrono+ Intense Rehydrating Balm. This balm is Incredibly creamy, luxurious and thankfully infuses the skin with moisture. Over the last few weeks I have seen such a dramatic change in my skin.
Available on Lierac Paris for $52.
Coola Calm Glow Eye Gel
I have been really diligent lately about letting each products do what they do best. That means using a face moisturizer for just my face and an eye cream under my eyes. And I love it!

Hydrating Face Oil with Kola Nut
I make sure to use this every night as part of my PM routine, but now with the weather so cold and my heat blasting 24/7 I work it into my AM routine as well. Nyakio Hydrating Face Oil With Kola Nut is fabulous! Despite what people think this oil calms and balances the moisture content in my skin and makes it supple and super soft. I add it only to my most dry patches of skin in the AM like my neck and forehead. I can practically hear my skin going "gulp gulp gulp ahhhh!" as it drinks down this elixir!

Mina Organics Leave-In Argan Oil
Mina Organics is fabulous! Their complete line of hair and skin products are infused with nutrient rich organic argan oil and organic macadamia nut oil! Healthy goodness that does wonders!

Laura Mercier is one of my favorite skincare companies and I have loved their Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer with Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen.
This perfect blend of skincare and makeup offers hydration to skin thus softening fine lines and wrinkles. But wait, there's more! It also has a light-reflecting sheer hint of color that masks imperfections and gives skin a radiant, healthy, dewy glow.

For those stubborn problem areas and the blemishes that just won't quit I use Hourglass Illusion Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free cover up.

Oh and as a wonderful little bonus it has Instalift® at 3% which lifts and visibly tightens the skin within one hour of application. The Hyaluronic Filling Spheres™ at 3% help minimize the appearance of wrinkles while increasing skin's hydration levels to deliver a healthy, dewy radiance.

This highlighter, shadow and shimmer diffuses light so your skin looks softer and younger while adding a subtle glow.
