Healthy coral reefs are some of the most valuable ecosystems on the planet. They are among the oldest communities of life on Earth and take thousands of years to grow into the immense and complex habitats we see today.
Although they exhibit some of the characteristics of plants and are often mistaken for rocks, corals are animals. They are relatives of jellyfish and anemones.
As with many other types of animals, different species of coral are found in a variety of habitats in various locations around the world. There are more than 800 known species of reef-building coral worldwide and hundreds of species of soft corals and deep-sea corals, and this might only be the tip of the iceberg. Scientists estimate that there may be another one to nine million undiscovered species of organisms living in and around reefs!
CoralBy the Numbers
Coral reef ecosystems provide an estimated $375 billion a year in economic and environmental services such as food, protection for coasts, and tourism. Reef-supported tourism alone generates an estimated $30 billion a year.
Top Three Threats to Coral
Climate change, rampant pollution, and destructive fishing practices are decimating corals faster than they can adapt and regenerate. Individually, each of these three top threats is devastating to corals; collectively they are a perfect storm."
To address the complex nature of the threats that face deep-sea and shallow coral ecosystems, NOAA Fisheries works through the Coral Reef Conservation Program to:
- Preserve, sustain, and restore the condition of corals and the species that depend on them.
- Improve our understanding of the diversity, population, and biology of important coral species.
- Support management and research to promote sustainable use of coral reef resources for the benefit of local communities and the nation.
Useful Links
Coral plays an integral part in advancing medicine. From bone grafts to potential treatments for cancer, healthy corals and their associated species can sustain our lives–if we sustain theirs.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Jason Simpson, OJ Simpson's son, is battling Nicole Brown Simpson allegations. William Dear claims that Jason Simpson murdered Nicole Brown Simpson. For decades, rumors have existed that speculated someone close to Simpson murdered Nicole Brown Simpson.
But now William Dear claims that Jason Simpson carried out the murder. The Dear allegations headline his new book hitting newsstands. The book is entitled O.J. Is Innocent and I Can Prove It.

Just weeks ago, the National Enquirer claimed that Sydney Simpson and Khloe Kardashian were sisters. At the time, the Enquirer's allegation was that OJ Simpson is Khloe Kardashian's secret biological father. A Kardashain rep a the time called the Enquirer story as "ridiculous and laughable".

The bizarre Enquirer report at the time read that OJ Simpson allegedly "used to tell us way back – even before he and Nicole got divorced – that he had a love child with the wife of a wealthy family. But at the time of Khloe's birth, it would have been devastating for the news to come out that America's biggest sports hero had fathered a love child. O.J.'s career as a product spokesman – which earned him well over $10 million – could have ended."

Now William Dear in his new book "O.J. Is Innocent and I Can Prove It" claims that Jason Simpson murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman on June 12, 1994. Dear claims that Jason had "intermittent rage disorder" and that he had allegedly assaulted his girlfriend, twice, prior to the Brown murder.
Jason Simpson has refused to comment about the matter. Simpson is currently 41 years old and lives in Miami where he works as a cook.

There will be a changing of the guard in internal Utah Republican Party politics this spring.
Gone will be the Lockharts, Brambles and Monnahans from the state and Utah County parties; gone also will be James Evans from Salt Lake County party leadership.
It remains to be seen if these changes will be bad or good things.
For sure, some familiar faces that have run the parties and donated a lot of their own time and efforts will be replaced by other volunteer leaders.
Stan Lockhart, a Micron lobbyist who has been closely involved in GOP politics for years, leaves as state party chairman after just one two-year term. Lockhart is also a former chairman of the Utah County Republican Party.
Also not seeking re-election after years of service is Utah County GOP Chairwoman Marian Monnahan and party Secretary Susan Bramble, wife of state Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo.
Lockart's wife is state Rep. Becky Lockhart, R-Provo, current assistant majority whip in the House.
Evans is term-limited out of his Salt Lake County chairmanship after two two-year terms.
The state and Salt Lake and Utah county party leaderships probably all won't be totally new, however.
Todd Weiler seeks re-election as state vice chairman, Rick Votaw wants to be re-elected Utah County GOP vice chairman, as Mark Cluff seeks another term as Salt Lake County GOP vice chairman.
But the top party post of chairman will be new in all three organizations.
In Salt Lake County, which holds its party convention April 25 in the South Towne Center, there are five chairman candidates: Kurtis Constantine, Mark Crockett, Dana Dickson, John Hohlbaugh and Thomas Wright.
In Utah County — the convention is also April 25 — there are two chairman candidates, Taylor Oldroyd and Steven Diamond.
The party candidate filing deadlines have passed for the Salt Lake and Utah county elections, but the state GOP deadline isn't for weeks — the state convention not held until June 13.
Three men have already said they are running for state chairman: Dave Hansen, Tim Bridgewater and Steve Harmsen. They all have extensive histories of work within the GOP.
The state and Salt Lake and Utah county organizations all came under criticism in 2008, accused of playing favorites in intra-party races.
I won't go into all the details of those accusations here, except to say that the general complaint is that party bosses ran insider administrations intent on keeping Republican incumbents in public office to the detriment of GOP challengers. The leaders, not surprisingly, deny those accusations.
It appears that, once again, one of the main complaints against how the state and county Republican parties have been run centers around party operations — like the use of so-called automatic convention delegates and use of party information, like e-mail and telephone records of delegates.
For some time there have been complaints about automatic delegates — the elected GOP officeholders who are appointed delegates to the county and state conventions without having to be elected in the March party neighborhood caucuses (the old mass meetings).
Most of the 2,500 or so delegates to county and state conventions are picked by their Republican neighbors — who attend the mass meetings every even-numbered election year and are voted into each precinct's allotted delegate slots. GOP officeholders don't even have to attend their neighborhood mass meetings to be automatically picked as a convention delegate.
This argument over automatic delegates has gone on for years.

There is a square cake. It contains N toppings - N disjoint axis-aligned squares. The toppings may have different sizes, and they do not necessarily cover the entire cake.
I want to divide the cake into 2 rectangular pieces, by either a horizontal or a vertical cut, such that the number of toppings I destroy (i.e. cross in the interior) is minimized.
What is the number of toppings I will have to destroy, in the worst case?
NOTE: I asked a related question where the toppings may be arbitrary rectangles, and MvG found an example where $\frac{N}{4}$ toppings are destroyed. This example obviously does not work when the toppings must be square.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Soil, Water, & Fertilizer
The Tomato-Vetch Connection (page 3 of 4)
by Jack Ruttle
Start This Fall
Vetch needs to grow for about a month before the very hard frosts (about 22° F) shut down everything in the garden, often around the same time that most deciduous trees are losing their leaves. That means you should plant the vetch one to three weeks before the very first fall frost. You want the plants to get at least four inches tall before they stop growing for the season, though in warmer regions the vetch can keep growing all winter.
Abdul-Baki and Teasdale say that the success of the system depends on using a legume that grows well in your climate to give you the most nitrogen and the biomass you need for weed control and soil fertility. In most places that will mean hairy vetch, which is the most widely adapted winter-hardy legume. It grows quickly in fall, overwinters even in the Far North, and then starts regrowing quickly in the spring. But wherever it's quite warm in the fall when you want to plant (as in parts of zones 9 and 10), other legumes like crimson clover or subterranean clover may do as well or better. Consult your extension agent to confirm which winter legumes have proven themselves in your locale.
After you prepare a seed bed in your future tomato plot, plant the vetch, either by broadcasting or in shallow furrows at the rate of an ounce of seed per 10 square feet. The researchers plant in rows, seven of them across the four-foot-wide bed, or about six inches apart.
The vetch begins to grow again in earnest early the following spring. By the time the weather's warm enough to plant tomatoes, it will be three to four feet tall and beginning to flower. The day before planting tomatoes, use hedge shears or a hand scythe to cut the vetch an inch or two above the ground and lay it in place on the bed. You should end up with a dense mulch that is four to five inches thick. It is important to cut all the vetch and cover the stubble. Stragglers that survive can become tangled in the tomato plants. Plant the tomatoes down the middle of the bed by parting the mulch. Set the plants in place and then tuck the mulch back around them.
Where weekly rainfall is not dependable, it is important to irrigate over the vetch mulch. About 85 percent of the nitrogen in the vetch is in the tops, with the remaining 15 percent in the roots. When cut at the prebloom to bloom stage, vetch is very tender and decays readily, but it cannot rot and release its nutrients without moisture. The researchers lay drip irrigation down the center of the bed on top of the mulch to speed up its decomposition. In gardens, wetting the mulch with a sprinkler of some kind would be ideal. "We are developing a farming system, so we use drip tape, which wets the mulch at individual points," says Dr. Abdul-Baki. Drip emitters that deliver a small spray either in circles or half-circles are available.
The researchers use the stake-and-weave method of training the tomatoes (set a stake every two plants and weave twine back and forth around the stakes and plants). But you can use any tomato training method you like. Enjoy the harvest and the freedom from feeding and weeding that the vetch-mulch method provides. By the end of the season, the mulch will have decayed so much that only traces remain. Some late-season weeds may begin to poke through, but they are easily pulled or cut by hand in the soft soil. Besides, it's almost time to plant vetch again.
Before the first light frosts arrive, prepare to plant more vetch, disturbing the soil as little as possible. Cut the tomato plants and take them to the compost pile. Pull or lightly cultivate to destroy any small weeds. Then plant vetch seed, either in furrows or by broadcasting.

2013 UCLA Statistics | 2013 MPSF Statistics | 2013 MPSF Release
NCAA Tournament Program
LOS ANGELES - The No. 3 UCLA women's water polo team (26-6, 3-3 MPSF) is in Boston and ready to face No. 6 seed Princeton (26-5, 5-0 CWPA) in the quarterfinals of the 2013 NCAA Women's Water Polo Championship on Friday, May 10 at 12:30 p.m. (PT)/3:30 p.m. (ET). Harvard's Blodgett Pool is the host site.
Selected to the NCAA Championships for the ninth consecutive year, the Bruins will be facing Princeton for the first time in postseason play. UCLA is 5-0 all-time against the Tigers, but hasn't faced them since a 17-5 win at UC San Diego on March 12, 2005. Coincidentally, the 2005 season was the start of the Bruins' nine-year NCAA Tournament streak, and the start of UCLA's five consecutive NCAA Championships (2005 to 2009). The Bruins ended the 2005 campaign with a perfect 33-0 record.
UCLA finished fourth in the MPSF this season but recently captured third place at the MPSF Tournament in Berkeley, Calif. The Bruins opened with a 4-3 win over No. 5 California on April 26. UCLA met up with No. 1 Stanford in the semifinals and suffered an 11-7 setback. But the Bruins bounced back to beat No. 3 Arizona State, 10-7, in the third-place game, which essentially locked UCLA in for the last at-large berth to the NCAA Championships.
This marks UCLA's 19th postseason tournament appearance and the 12th NCAA Tournament appearance as the Bruins lead the nation in national championships with a total of 11 and seven NCAA titles in school history. The Bruins haven't won the title since 2009, which capped a string of five straight for UCLA.
The Bruins have amassed a record of 49-7 all-time in postseason play and a stellar mark of 26-4 in NCAA Championship competition. UCLA has never lost to a team outside of California in NCAA Championship play and has only lost once to a team outside of its home state in postseason play in school history. The Bruins' suffered a 9-7 defeat to Slippery Rock (PA) in UCLA's first-ever postseason tournament in 1995. Slippery Rock went on to win the national title.
Should the Bruins get by Princeton, they will meet the winner of No. 2 Stanford/No. 7 Iona on May 11 at 7:00 p.m. (ET)/4:00 p.m. (PT) in the semifinals.
The Bruins went 2-5 this year against the 2013 NCAA Championship field. UCLA defeated No. 4 seed Hawai'i, 12-7, in a neutral contest and posted a 22-5 home win over No. 8 seed Pomona-Pitzer. But UCLA lost twice to No. 1 USC (11-10 N, 11-6 H) and three times to No. 2 Stanford (8-5 A, 8-1 A, 11-7 N) during the 2013 season.
The NCAA will webcast every game of the 2013 NCAA Women's Water Polo Championship at Harvard's Blodgett Pool. All games can be watched and heard here:
NCAA Tournament Webcast
Four UCLA women's water polo players have been selected to All-MPSF Teams, as announced by the conference office on May 1, 2013. Rachel Fattal was named the MPSF Newcomer of the Year and also garnered second team All-MPSF honors and was named to the All-MPSF Newcomer Team. Three other Bruins earned all-conference honors in 2013. Sophomores Emily Donohoe and Sami Hill were both named to the All-MPSF second team while senior Gisselle Naranjo picked up All-MPSF honorable mention plaudits.
Sophomore attacker Emily Donohoe leads UCLA in scoring with 63 goals (1.97 goals per game), which ranks eighth in the MPSF. Donohoe, a native of Upland, Calif., is also second on the team with nine field blocks and third in steals with 24 and in exclusions drawn (15). Freshman Rachel Fattal is second on team in scoring with 62 goals (1.94 goals per game), which ranks ninth in the MPSF.
Freshman center Alexa Tielmann is third on the team in scoring with 28 goals while sophomore attacker Danielle Ferraro is fourth with 27 goals. Freshman defender Alys Williams is fifth with 26 goals, while senior attacker Gisselle Naranjo is sixth with 25 goals.
Sami Hill, a redshirt sophomore goalkeeper from Santa Barbara, Calif., is currently second in the MPSF in saves per game at 10.71. She is also third in the MPSF in goals against average, allowing 6.25 per game. Hill is also third on the team with 29 assists and is fourth on the squad with 21 steals.
Freshman Alex Musselman hasn't played enough games to qualify for MPSF rankings, but she has allowed just 5.73 goals per game and is averaging 7.99 saves per game.
Rachel Fattal, a freshman attacker from Seal Beach, Calif., was the first Bruin water polo player, from either gender, to be named MPSF Newcomer of the Year in 2013. Her 62 goals through the MPSF Tournament are the most amongst all freshmen. She leads the Bruins in steals (36), sprints won (44) and field blocks (25) and is second in exclusions drawn (25) and is fifth in assists (25). She was also the only Bruin named to the All-MPSF Tournament Team. Her most clutch outing was undoubtedly in the conference quarterfinals in Berkeley, April 26, against host California. With the Bruins down 3-0 and their NCAA Tournament chances winding down, Fattal proceeded to score once in the second quarter and twice in the fourth to get the team into the semifinals with a 4-3 win over the Golden Bears. She went on to score twice in the third-place win over No. 3 seed Arizona State, perhaps the NCAA at-large deciding game. Fattal was the April 15 MPSF Newcomer of the Week, scoring on 13 of 16 shots in three games.
Freshman attacker Kodi Hill leads the team in assists with 33 on the year. Hill also has 15 goals and is fifth on the squad with 18 steals. She also ranks tied for third on the squad with eight field blocks on the year.
Gisselle Naranjo, a senior attacker from Commerce, Calif., is second on the team in assists with 32 on the year. She has 25 goals and is tied for eighth on the team with 13 steals. She also has drawn 12 exclusions and has recorded six field blocks, which is sixth on the squad.
Brandon Brooks is in his fourth season as UCLA's head women's water polo coach in 2013. He was named the third head coach in program history on June 3, 2009, and has compiled a 97-25 (.795) record.

Coloradoans will rally Tuesday, June 3, 2014 in support of landmark new carbon pollution standards announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The new standards are part of President Barack Obama's Climate Action Plan.
The EPA proposal would set the first-ever limits on carbon pollution from existing power plants. Along with an earlier proposal addressing new power plants, the week's EPA proposal addressing older plants would be a game changer, according to Elisabeth MacNamara, president of the League of Women Voters. She said it would "protect us from the health risks and impacts of climate change."
"Power Plants currently churn out about 40 percent of the carbon pollution in the air we breathe, and contribute to hundreds of thousands of asthma and heart attacks," said John Podesta in a release from the White House.
Colorado organizations lauding the EPA proposal include the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Sierra Club, Conservation Colorado, the Alliance for Sustainable Colorado, Environment Colorado, Blue and Yellow Logic and the Denver Department of Environmental Health.
The rally will take place at 1 p.m. in the Alliance Center, 1536 Wynkoop St.
Chris Arend of Conservation Colorado said the state is well positioned to comply with the proposal. Colorado leads through its efforts to increase renewable energy, invest in energy efficiency and cut carbon pollution.
"As we work to reduce dangerous carbon pollution from power plants, we will modernize the way that we power our state through clean, renewable energy like wind, solar, and energy efficiency. Our state possesses enormous potential to invest in affordable clean energy solutions that will create jobs, protect Colorado families, save consumers and businesses money, and reduce our dependence on dirty power plants. Cutting pollution that harms our families and communities will also save billions of dollars in health, cleanup, and disaster recovery costs," said Roger Singer of the Sierra Club.

In last night's episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Mariah Carey, Jimmy and The Roots sang her legendary holiday classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You" with instruments that you would find in a kindergarten. Following Carly Rae Jepsen and Christina Aguilera's similar performances with toy drums and office supplies, Mimi and her flock of men reimagined the 1994 track with tiny xylophones, flutes, percussions, mini guitars etc. Mariah's voice was top shape, sitting legs crossed, very classy, draped in a red gown, waving her finger around like she is known for.
If you are not in the Christmas mood yet, I promise that you will be after watching this, it is sooooo cute, and festive.
Check it out after the jump and let me know your thoughts! I love Mariahhhh!

Chasing Rainbows directed by Greg Andermann
The battle between the Evangelical Church and the Gay movement in America or LGBT all started in Hawaii. Both of these diverse groups are actually searching for their true identity. Yet they both share the same hopes, the same desires and want their own piece of the American Dream. They both simply want to be heard, affirmed and become a part of mainstream American culture.

Can I regenerate photos deleted from my Samsung Galaxy?
Last night, my brother had mistakenly deleted the contents of "Photos" folder on my phone. The photos and videos, which I had taken in the last 2-3 months were completely lost. I understand, it was only my fault, I should back them up on PC or somewhere else. Is there is any way I can refurbish them?
Accidents occur so you lost your photographs, music's, videos or notes on your Samsung Galaxy. After, you start to realize that you have made a grave error since these photos are very significant and precious for you and you actually can't lose them. The photos deleted from your Samsung Galaxy haven't been erased permanently, what delete means, is the space that the file lives at is assessed as bare. From now, it can be reused by new files, whereas the deleted file of photos and videos will be still present there until new arrived data overwrites it. Therefore, if you haven't shot any new photos or video clips, you can easily retrieve deleted photos and videos with the help of program known as Samsung Galaxy recovery Tool.
Easy way to regenerate deleted files from Samsung Galaxy
First, you have to download a dependable Samsung Galaxy recovery software named: Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android. This program permits you to retrieve photos, contacts, notes, and videos from Samsung Galaxy phones, like – Galaxy Grand, Galaxy Ace 2, Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE, Galaxy S Advance, Galaxy X Cover 2, Galaxy Grand DUOS, and Galaxy S II plus etc.
Step 1: Connect your Samsung Phone to the PC!
Firstly, connect your Samsung Galaxy phone to the PC with the help of USB cable. After connecting the USB cable, run the program and you'll get the main interface to proceed.
Step2. Enable USB debugging before scanning your Samsung Galaxy
You need to enable USB debugging process before scanning your phone completely. There are three options which are provided for you to follow. Select the right Android OS version for your Samsung Galaxy, and follow the instructions to set it.
- For Android 2.3 or earlier: Enter "Settings" < Click "Applications" < Click "Development" < Check "USB debugging"
- For Android 3.0 to 4.1: Enter "Settings" < Click "Developer options" < Check "USB debugging"
- For Android 4.2 or newer: Enter "Settings" < Click "About Phone" < Tap "Build number" for several times until getting a note "You are under developer mode" < Back to "Settings" < Click "Developer options" < Check "USB debugging"
Step3. Begin to scanning your device
When your galaxy phone is connected as well as detected by the software, press the "Start" button in the following screen below to start analyzing your phone. Before doing the steps, you have to be sure that your Samsung phone's battery is above 20% charged, so that you can easily get a perfect scan result.
After the analyzing process completed, you have to start your device's home screen to press "Allow" button in the screen, so that the scan process will be started. And then you have to press "Start" to scan your phone now.
Step4. Preview and Retrive data from your phone!
The scanning process will take some time to generate the result. As soon as messages, contacts and files are scanned out, the program will remind you about it. In between you can also stop the scan process to get the items back if you only desire to retrieve deleted files, messages, contacts etc. And, for the photos and videos, will take your some more time to scan whole out all of them.
After scanning process is completed, you can preview details of all the data one by one. From the given list, check those you want and press "Recover" button on the screen to save them on your PC.
Please don't save the retrieved data on your Samsung phone again. You can find the another place to save your data files like on your computer or other external disk, for security matters. Moreover, if you desire to trade your photos, contacts and video etc back to your Samsung galaxy phone, well you can use the Wondershare MobileGo for Android, which permits you to manage the full contents on your Android phone effortlessly like notes, contacts, photos, videos, apps, etc.

Fayette and Allegany College of Maryland Partner for Mining Degree
Individuals in the Somerset County area who are looking to fast-track their way to supervisory positions in the mining industry have a new opportunity to get the education they need to do just that. Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus Chancellor Francis Achampong and Allegany College of Maryland President Cynthia Bambara signed a memorandum of understanding to formalize the partnership May 24 in Somerset. With the arrangement, Penn State Fayette will offer the university's Associate Degree in Mining Technology in Somerset County and offer classes at ACM's Somerset Campus.
The partnership evolved in response to requests from the local mining industry in Somerset County, which wanted local residents to have an opportunity to pursue the unique degree program closer to home. Classes may begin as early as June 6 if enough students are enrolled.
Penn State Fayette Chancellor Francis Achampong explains, "Meeting the educational and workforce development needs of our communities is at the core of our mission. Being able to partner with the Alleghany College of Maryland to bring our mining technology program to Somerset County demonstrates our commitment in this regard."
Allegany College of Maryland President Cynthia Bambara adds, "We're delighted to have a memorandum of understanding for the needed program in this area. It's a win-win for the Somerset County campus of Allegany College of Maryland and Penn State Fayette."
Penn State Fayette's mining technology degree program is the only one of its kind in the state and trains students to assume a leadership role in the mining industry. Prospective students have the opportunity to choose a maintenance or production focus—or a combination. The maintenance-oriented track prepares students to become maintenance supervisors, while the production-oriented track educates students to become mine supervisors or engineering aids.
Bringing the mining technology degree program to Somerset County may be a boon to the local economy, as well as individuals— including recent high school graduates—who are looking for a good career.
Anyone interested in learning more about the mining technology degree program in Somerset should call 724-430-4130.
Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus Chancellor Francis Achampong and Allegany College of Maryland President Cynthia Bambara sign a memorandum of understanding to bring Penn State's Associate Degree in Mining Technology to ACM's Somerset Campus. Also attending the signing are (from left): Joe Segilia, Penn State Fayette director of Outreach and Continuing Education; Larry Hunchuck, Penn State Fayette program coordinator and instructor of mining technology; Hank Parke, director of public relations at PBS Coals, Inc; and James Snider, Allegany College of Maryland vice president of Pennsylvania campuses.

Did you read the last post about my super-human day?
It is 4:00 pm and I've accomplished next to nothing. It's FOUR. OHHHHH. CLOCK. people and nothing! (at least that's how it feels.) Perhaps today is the universe's way of reclaiming balance.
I did clean out the refrigerator and the pantry…things were starting to grow. (not flowers.) It was getting so bad in there, I wouldn't have been surprised if the garbage truck tried to dump there at the end of the day - an easy mistake to make. But alas…the dried-on, sticky-stuck, crumb-filled, trash-laden, leftover-loaded food areas are clean.
I'm going to call it a day.
(Why be an over-achiever.)
Blog to you soon,

First, a reminder about the good news: On April 16, the Free Speech Coalition and the 16 other plaintiffs (including Nina Hartley and Dave Cummings) won a major victory when the Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals overturned Judge Michael Baylson's dismissal of their complaint against the federal recordkeeping and labeling laws, 18 U.S.C. §§2257 and 2257A.
The question now: Where do we go from here?
Fact is, much of the adult entertainment industry has become complacent about 2257, even though the law assumes that all producers are child pornographers and forces them to prove they're not. The major production companies all either have in-house recordkeepers (each of whom draws a full-time salary) or they farm out the work to the handful of third party recordkeeper businesses, some of whom charge upwards of $150 per title, that have cropped up in the wake of the Department of Justice's most recent rewrite of the regulations. Or they could invest $3,000 in the 2257 software package that FSC offers, which automates the filing of the required documents on a company's own computer. (Of course, those last two options aren't cost-effective for the myriad webcam girls and other online content providers, and all three options are problematic for large online DVD distributors and retailers, who need 2257 records for every single one of the tens of thousands of DVD sleeves they post on their sites so consumers have some idea what they're buying.)
And of course, none of that takes into account the number of companies, brick-and-mortar and online, that just don't bother to keep 2257 records but merely put the required label on their packages and hope they'll never come under federal scrutiny.
The fact is, 2257 compliance is a bitch.
"The 2257 statute is particularly burdensome and oppressive against all who are required to comply with its terms," assessed J. Michael Murray, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs in the current lawsuit, "because not only are the penalties for non-compliance or even incomplete or erroneous compliance are so severe—five years in prison for each offense—but because the cost and energy and time that has to go into creating these records, and labeling materials with where the records can be obtained, and making the industry available for searches and seizures without warrants at any time the FBI chooses to knock on their door is just something that needs to be fought as vigorously as possible in order to relieve the industry of those oppressive burdens."
And guess what? The government already knows that there's an excellent chance that any company they inspect will be out of compliance in some way. That's what FBI Special Agent Charles Joyner, the person in charge of the FBI's now-disbanded 2257 inspection team, told AVN back in the summer of 2007, when inspections were in full swing.
"Very poor, with a couple of exceptions" is how Joyner described the results of the 19 compliance inspections his team had conducted thus far. "These are legal businesses. They have attorneys counseling them. Our assumption was they would be in complete compliance, and I was surprised to see that very few are. Most of them are out of compliance. That was a surprise."
And while it's true that many of the 16 non-compliant companies were able to become compliant when Joyner gave them a few weeks to get their records in order, the industry would be foolish to assume that the next team leader will be so generous—or that the next federal administration will be as hands-off regarding adult entertainment as the current one appears to be.
Attorney Jeffrey Douglas, who frequently deals with 2257 compliance issues, agrees.
"I'd say that substantially less than 50 percent of companies are compliant; my best estimate is that 15 to 20 percent are substantially compliant," he warned. "However, more than 95 percent of companies have appropriate IDs on their models, but sadly, that's not enough."
Bottom line: If 2257 is not overturned, some of the most powerful people in the adult industry will find themselves being sentenced by a federal judge for having done nothing more than having a few documents in the wrong (actual or virtual) file folders.
Simply put, it's an outrage, and one that the Free Speech Coalition has sued—twice!—to have overturned, with the latest volley by Murray and associate Lori Baumgardner having succeeded in getting the lawsuit reinstated after it was improperly dismissed by Judge Baylson.
Although the unanimous opinion by the Third Circuit panel (authored by conservative Judge D. Brooks Smith) was very good, giving the plaintiffs much of what they wanted, the concurrence by Judge Marjorie Rendell was outstanding. Not only did she take issue with the majority's facile conclusion that the government had "adequately demonstrated" that 2257 and 2257A "advance a substantial government interest" since in the 25 years of the law's existence, it hasn't turned up one single instance of an underage performer, it's also superfluous because adult producers are already well aware of child pornography laws and all take steps to make sure no minors are in their movies.
Plus, as Judge Rendell wrote (and AVN pointed out years ago), "In the absence of such evidence, it is easy to think of reasons the statutes might not accomplish their desired result. For example, given the substantial federal and state criminal penalties for creating and distributing child pornography ... it is hard to fathom that the statutes' recordkeeping requirements would make anyone who was already inclined to engage in such activities change his behavior. An unscrupulous producer who seeks to distribute images using underage (as opposed to merely young-looking) performers could falsify his records, and a producer who operates underground is not likely to follow the recordkeeping requirements at all. Similarly, a child determined to pass herself off as an adult could easily provide false identification to the producer." [Citations omitted]
Judge Rendell also made the point that the warrantless inspections mandated by the law cannot be justified by any "administrative search" rationale, since the adult industry is not the type of "pervasively regulated" industry for which such searches are permitted, and it's not as if producers, knowing that a search warrant is about to be served, can kludge together a 2257 compliance system in a matter of hours or even days.
"The Fourth Amendment implications of a law that permits the FBI, unannounced and without a warrant, to knock on your door and, on pain of a felony conviction, be permitted to enter private areas of your premises including homes and offices to search through private records and make copies of all those private records and to take anything else they believe is evidence of a felony and to use any further investigative techniques they desire to use is breathtaking," Murray stated.
The point is, this is a winnable fight—but only if adult content producers get on board to fund it.
"The cost of the litigation is extraordinary," said FSC executive director Diane Duke. "We're looking at almost $300,000 in costs already, and understand that FSC's entire budget is less than $500,000 annually, and that also has to take care of rent, salaries and other things. We're at the point now where we do owe our lawyers money, and we hope the industry will support that. Our next steps are the critical ones. The opinion that came down from our appeal was solid, and probably one of the most promising decisions we've had. I think we're now at a turning point for 2257 and I think that this litigation will be the one that determines what the future of 2257 is and the future of recordkeeping for the adult industry."
Duke is asking that producers step up and use some of their profits to save themselves thousands of dollars in the long run—and keep themselves out of prison.
"What we're asking smaller producers is, 'Consider giving FSC an additional $500 a year—less than a cup of coffee a day!—targeted directly to 2257,'" Duke explained. "The mid-sized producers, see if they can do a couple thousand. Larger producers, $20,000. Those are the levels we're going to be asking for. In the long run, that will pay off."
Hey, it's got to be cheaper than paying your attorney anywhere from $250 to $1,000 per hour to keep you out of prison for your "paperwork violation"!

I set a test server with a self signed SSL certificate and http-authentication with personal digital certificates issued by my test CA and everything works fine.
What if I want to authenticate users that have a digital certificate issued by several other trusted CAs in my country? What do I need to do (other than getting a real SSL certificate for the webserver) in order to make apache able to do that?
I suppose it has to do with the "SSLCACertificateFile" directive, but would like to hear someone who is more prepared on the subject.

|Vince Foster: Your Portfolio's Fate Is Linked to the US Dollar
By Vince Foster JAN 27, 2014 11:25 AM
At this stage of the liquidity cycle, the market doesn't care about earnings growth and economic data. The most important metric is the price of the world's reserve currency.
Friday afternoon, with stock prices melting and investors struggling to make sense of the carnage in emerging market currencies, Wall Street's bond dealer strategists were hard at it publishing reports previewing next week's FOMC meeting. Across my Bloomberg terminal the headlines crossed as follows:

Student Leadership Opportunities
Smith students take on leadership roles through the CCC in a variety of ways.
Community Fellows Program
The Community Fellows program is designed for students who are interested in deepening their commitment to a particular long-term community partnership by acting as the liaison between the Smith community and the host agency. Fellows contribute significant hours of work to their community host organization, and collaborate with their community host organization and CCC staff to support and facilitate increased and quality Smith student involvement. Community Fellows serve as the primary contact person for partnering community-based organization.
CCC STRIDE Fellows
CCC STRIDE Fellows assume leadership roles in community service projects, assist faculty and CCC staff in community-based learning courses and research projects, and work in a wide variety of outreach programs for children, teachers and families. They also serve as liaisons to local schools and community organizations, attend meetings in the community and help the center staff and faculty to identify and implement projects with community partners. For more information, see the STRIDE web page.
Graduate Mentoring Program
As part of the School for Social Work-Smith College mentoring partnership, SSW graduate students mentor undergraduates who are working in a variety of community placements.
CSO Executive Board
Being a member of the Community Service Office (CSO) Executive Board offers students a voice in the scope and direction of community service projects throughout the year. Board Members learn the basics of operating a small non-profit organization, attend weekly one-hour board meetings, and spend two hours per week in the office. The Board develops policies, coordinates events, recruits volunteers, and organizes educational gatherings on community needs and volunteering. Ten students are appointed to the Board each academic year, and each member assumes leadership for a specific programming area (e.g., Community Education, Publicity/Newsletter, Outreach, Blood Drive, Short-Term Service Projects). A CSO board position is a one-year commitment.
First Link Team Leaders
First Link is a specialized community service orientation program that engages incoming Smith students in short-term, hands-on community service projects. As facilitators, First Link team leaders play an important role by supporting new students' adjustment to college and linking them with community service projects and pathways. Team Leaders attend an eight- to ten-hour training program on leadership.
Science Center STRIDE Fellow
The Science Center STRIDE Fellow assumes a leadership role by assisting the Science Outreach Coordinator in research, development, and coordination of Science Outreach activities. The goal of outreach programming is to create opportunities for Smith students to explore and enhance science education in the region; undergraduates work with K-12 schools and a number of GED programs. The Science Center STRIDE Fellow is involved in all aspects of outreach work: from research and development of activities to assessment of how activities actually work in the community. For more information, see the STRIDE web page.
January Science Teaching Fellowship Program
In the Howard Hughes Medical Institute-funded Science Teaching Fellowship, undergraduates are introduced to educational pedagogy, lesson planning, classroom management and standards, in preparation for an intensive one-week program during January Interterm. Selected undergraduates work in pairs, with guidance from the Science Center Outreach Coordinator, Smith Science faculty, and K-12 teachers. They research, develop, practice, and teach lessons in a range of fields: life science, chemistry, physics, earth science, space science, and engineering.
Science Center Early Research Associate
Undergraduates in Early Research Associate positions research the best ways to deliver science and engineering lessons/activities for specific grade levels. The need may derive from a request from a local teacher or arise from an area of student interest. The Early Research Associate develops lessons and activities to test in local schools or in GED programs. Once the activity is refined, the Associate works to develop a classroom loaner kit that can be used in the community or with a group visiting campus.
Science Outreach Volunteer
Smith undergraduates looking for short-term leadership opportunities can sign up to deliver science and engineering activities for single or multiple sessions. Throughout the year, local schools, after-school programs, and adult education centers request Smith visits to their institutions or STEM field trips to the Smith campus. Science Outreach Volunteers, with some guidance from the Science Outreach Coordinator, work in teams to plan and develop specific activities that respond to requests by community partners.
Other Smith Leadership Programs and Fellowships
With busy schedules, other students choose to get involved in leadership programs and fellowships during school breaks in the summer and January, as well as during the academic year.
Summer Science and Engineering Program
Undergraduate students work as summer interns for the Smith College Summer Science and Engineering Program (SSEP). The SSEP is a four-week residential program for exceptional high school girls with strong interests in science, engineering, and medicine. Each July, select students from across the country and abroad do hands-on research with Smith faculty in the life and physical sciences and in engineering, and Smith students act as teaching assistants and mentors.
Praxis Internships
The Praxis program allows every Smith student the opportunity to elect an internship funded by the college. Administered by the Career Development Office, the program gives each Smith sophomore or junior access to a one-time stipend that ensures that each student can afford to participate in a summer internship. Some students choose summer work with a community organization for their Praxis internship.
Urban Education Initiative
The Urban Education Initiative is an innovative service learning program that brings Smith students to partner elementary, middle and high schools. For more information, go to the Urban Education Initiative web page.
Project Coach
Project Coach bridges economic, educational, and social divisions facing Springfield's youth by providing under-resourced teens with support and paid employment as sport coaches and teachers of elementary-aged children. For more information, go to the Project Coach page.
Lewis Leadership Program
The Phoebe Reese Lewis Leadership Program is a highly acclaimed, innovative program that provides undergraduate women with hands-on learning experiences and training in practical leadership skills. For more information, go to the Lewis Leadership Program page.

My 1st Blow Out LotionThis is my first time using a blow out lotion. I also use the straightening spray in the matching bottle. I am mixed (black/white) and have very curly (but I must admit tolerable for the most part) hair. My hair turned out VERY straight and shiny when I used the products. I mean it looked REALLY good-none of my normal bang flyaways or anything, but sometimes my hair looks better than others so I thought maybe I was just having a good hair month and eventually got a new product and started using that...because I am pathetic when it comes to hair products and that's what I do. Well I eventually got bored with that product and busted this one out again and I again noticed that my hair looked REALLY good. I was like holy crap I guess this stuff does work! I guess I didn't notice when my hair was just okay because that's how it normally is, but I noticed the positive difference when I used this. I also noticed that my hair looked better after being slept on. I would definitely recommend giving this a try. Oh and it is also very lightweight.

EUGENE – The Oregon Ducks are set to host their last two home matches of the year at the Student Tennis Center, beginning with No. 7 Stanford at noon on Friday, April 11. The Ducks will then honor their seniors in their final home match at the STC against No. 5 California at noon on April 13.
This will be the second and third top-10 team the Ducks have faced this season, all of which came in Pac-12 play. UO has struggled a bit in conference play, having dropped six of its last seven matches, and hasn't won in conference play since its upset of No. 60 Colorado in early March.
Head coach Paul Reber and assistant coach Maja Kovacheck will honor their three seniors. Lana Buttner, Lena Macomson and Rabea Stueckemann are set to play their lost home match at the Student Tennis Center when the Ducks host the No. 6th-ranked Golden Bears.
The trio of seniors has combined for 69 singles victories in a Duck uniform. Heading into this week's matches, Buttner is 36-47, Macomson is 3-24, and Stueckemann is 30-41 in singles play.
Stanford enters Friday's noontime match up with a 14-1 overall record and 6-1 mark in Pac-12 play. The Cardinal's lone loss came at the hands of conference foe, then-No. 3 UCLA, at home but rebounded the next day with a 4-0 sweep of USC.
Stanford's roster boasts a trio of players with 30-plus wins including a pair of players with 24 wins. The Cardinal's pair of Stacey Tan and Ellen Tsay are 31-9 overall in doubles play with a 9-1 record in conference play. The duo predominantly plays at No. 2 doubles and is currently 21-9 in that slot. Kristie Ahn and Nicole Gibbs who normally occupies the No. 1 doubles slot are 18-6 together on the year with an 8-1 mark in Pac-12 play.
The Cardinal's roster also has six players ranked by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. Kristie Ahn (4th), Carol Zhao (22nd), Taylor Davidson (28th), Ellen Tsay (39th), Caroline Doyle (41st) and Krista Hardebeck (47th) are all ranked in the top 50 for singles.
Although they have yet to play a set together, Ahn and Zhao is the seventh-ranked doubles pair according to the ITA. The same goes for Tsay and Davidson who are the No. 31-ranked doubles pair by the ITA, but have yet to play a set together.
The Ducks and the Bears are set to clash at noon on Sunday, April 13, at the Student Tennis Center for UO's senior day. California is scheduled to play No. 48 Washington State before heading south to Eugene. The Bears are riding an eight-match winning streak heading into their matchup with the Cougars.
Cal currently sits atop the Pac-12 standings at 7-0 in conference play and 14-4 overall. Before its current win-streak, California had dropped three-straight matches at the end of February to Duke, UCLA and USC. Both matches against the Bruins and Trojans were during non-conference play.
The Bears have six players that are ranked in singles by the ITA with Zsofi Susanyi being their highest ranked singles player, coming in at No. 21. Anett Schutting (24th), Denise Starr (30th), Lynn Chi (35th), Klara Fabikova (94th) and Maegan Manasse (100th) are the other five ranked singles players for the Golden Bears.
There are also four Cal teams that are ranked in doubles. Manasse and Starr (5-0) are ranked No. 37 according to the ITA. Manasse is also ranked No. 44 in doubles with Schutting, who are 4-5 together at doubles No. 1 and 10-5 overall. Starr and Kelly Chui dropped 17 spots in the rankings and are now ranked No. 63 in the nation with a 4-4 overall record. Chi and Schutting are the fourth Cal team ranked by the ITA, coming in at No. 71 with a 9-5 overall record and 4-1 mark playing at doubles No. 1.
The Ducks continued to struggle in conference play, losing to No. 40 Washington last Sunday, 4-1, at the Student Tennis Center. Oregon nearly stole the doubles point from the Huskies but Nicole Long and Sofia Hager weren't able to complete the comeback and fell to UW's pair in Elianne Douglas-Miron and Riko Shimizu 8-7 (10-8).
Marlou Kluiving and Allie Hueffner dominated their doubles No. 3 match, sinking Andjela Nemcevic and Julija Lukac 8-3. Jasmine Minor and Lina Åkesson were outmatched by Grace Ysidora and Natali Coronel, 8-4, at doubles No. 2 setting up Long/Hager for a dramatic finish at doubles No. 1.
Jasmine Minor awarded the Ducks their lone point of the match, defeating Ysidora 6-1, 6-4 at singles No. 2, and also snapped her five-match losing streak.
Long was leading Douglas-Miron, who is ranked No. 107 by the ITA, at singles No. 1, 7-5, 5-3, before their match was abandoned when the Huskies clinched the match.
For the first time since the 2010 season, Oregon will have five freshmen on the roster. Lina Åkesson, Allie Hueffner, Kadie Hueffner, Marlou Kluiving and Maja Salibasic look to compete with the six upperclassmen for one of the six spots in singles action.
Åkesson hails from Bunkeflostrand, Sweden, where she compiled a 23-19 mark in the ITF junior girl's circuit and reached as high as No. 562 in rankings. Allie and Kadie Hueffner come to Oregon having won back-to-back OSAA State Championships their junior and senior year in doubles play. Allie also compiled a 21-18 record in singles play competing in multiple United States Tennis Association matches while Kadie had a 23-15 mark.
Kluiving, a native of Eext, Netherlands, joins the Ducks with experience in the ITF circuit as well as experience with the Dutch National Team. She was ranked No. 46 in singles play and No. 40 for doubles in the Netherlands. Salibasic rounds out the group of freshmen for Oregon, hailing from Lukavac, Bosnia and Herzegovina. She was once the top-ranked junior player in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 10, 12, 14 and 16 under categories in addition to her experience in ITF tournaments.
The Oregon women's tennis team will have a nice mix of upper classmen and underclassmen representation this year with a trio of seniors and juniors and five freshmen. Lana Buttner, Lana Buttner and Rabea Stueckemann represent the senior class while Sofia Hager, Nicole Long and Jasmine Minor.
Head coach Paul Reber announced the signing of five-star athlete Alyssa Tobita of Mililani High School. The Mililani, Hawaii, native is a three-time Hawaii High School Athletic Association champion. Tobita also led the Trojans to their sixth-straight Oahu Interscholastic Association title last spring, her third since attending Mililani. She enters the 2014 season, her senior campaign, seeking her fourth-straight singles title.
In front of a crowd of over 200 friends, family, teammates and members of the UO community, the Oregon men's tennis team hosted a court dedication ceremony in honor of Alex Rovello on Nov. 9, 2013, at the Student Tennis Center. The program officially named the center court on the north side of the facility the Alex Rovello Court, a fitting tribute to the remarkable career and life of Rovello, who passed away in a diving accident.

It's hard to believe how quickly time flies, but the member of the Hartz family with the best underbite, Bosco, the Chihuahua mix, turned five in April. Since his adoption from RBARI in
Oakland, NJ over three years ago, he has held his own as the yappiest pup in the office, so it was no wonder that a large crowd of friends gathered for his birthday pawty. Tessa, Leo, Bones, Stella and even the newest pup at Hartz, CC, joined in the fun. Pupcakes and biscuits were served to his canine guests while his human guests enjoyed cupcakes. Bosco did not make any specific birthday wishes, but he is looking forward to another fun year of sprinting into the office each morning to visit with friends, testing new toys and begging for Hartz chicken chews. He and his owner Jen, recently moved right next to a dog park, so Bosco is psyched about spending the summer at the park making new friends.

Foodies rejoice! Denver Restaurant Week is back! The eighth annual Denver Restaurant Week (DRW) returns to the Mile High. The DRW kicked off with nearly 300 restaurants participating on February 25 and continues through March 9. The budget-friendly city-wide festival celebrates the culinary feats of Denver area restaurants by offering multi-course meals for the "Mile High" fixed-price of $52.80 for two; $26.40 for one (tax and gratuity not included.)
Reservations are highly encouraged (when possible) as last year Denver Restaurant Week, sponsored by VISIT DENVER, prepared more than 360,000 meals served, and DRW diners viewed more than 8 million page views of menus at the Denver Restaurant Week site in 2011.
Again this year, DRW diners can pre-plan their dining experience by searching the Denver Restaurant Week for restaurants and their menus. Start with searching all Denver Restaurant Week menus to find your perfect Mile High City restaurant. Or pick a neighborhood and geographically choose your restaurant. Perhaps you're hungering for a specific type of food, be it Italian, Mexican, American or Chinese, you can also search by cuisine to find the perfect spot for your meal.
Choose from fine dining experiences at Elway's Cherry Creek or Elway's Downtown at the Ritz-Carlton; EDGE Restaurant at Four Seasons; Bella Bistro in Arvada; or the chef inspired Colterra Food and Wine in Niwot. Looking for more casual? How about Maggiano's Little Italy, Carrabbas Italian Grill, La Sandia Cantina & Tequila Bar, or Outback Steakhouse? During DRW, the Mile High City is your oyster.
This year for the first time, DRW invites diners to "Get Social." Who doesn't have a restaurant on their "must-visit" list? Perhaps the restaurant is out of reach of your budget? Or maybe it's just too far to drive?
Whatever the reason for getting dining out, DRW gives you the opportunity to expand your restaurant experiences online by creating your Must-Dine List at http://www.denver.org/denverrestaurant/must-dine; and follow the directions to connect to your Facebook page, and add your restaurant wish list. Then begin earing your Denver Restaurant Week badges when you dine at your listed restaurants.
Whether you're a Denver local, or an out-of-town traveler, don't forget to "Make a Night of It" during DRW. Several hotel deals are also offered on the DRW website to experience the Mile High City's restaurants and hotels through March 7.
What: Denver Restaurant Week
When: February 25 – March 7, 2012
