Securing Web Applications with Servlet Security:Part-1
By Suresh Mandalapu on Nov 03, 2009
The purpose of this blog is to give a brief idea, to the readers, about securing web applications with servlet security.
According to Servlet Spec 3.0 , the servlet security is divided into 4 concepts,
i) Authentication
ii) Authorization
iii) Confidentiality
iv) Data Integrity(or Data Privacy)
1)Authentication: This is the process of verification about the client that he /she is actually the person who he/she is claiming .They are 4 types of authentication mechanisms which are
i) HTTP Basic Authentication:The basic credentials to authenticate an user is by his/her username and password. The user should produce his/her
username and password to authenticate themselves to access a web service resource.
How it works? when the user requests for a restricted resource , the server find that it is a restricted resource and so requests for authentication(username and password).When the user sends his username/password , server checks the credentials given by user against a secure database called realm.After conforming , the sever sends back the response . for ex: the Tomcat 6.0.18 's realm( user's database) is in conf/tomcat-users.xml file and looks like
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="guest"/>
<user username="suresh" password="mandalapu" roles="member,guest"/>
<user username="Sun" password="xwss" roles="manager"/>
The adavantage of this authentication is it is easy to implement and all browsers support it, but the disadvantage is it is not secure because the username/password are not encrypted
ii) HTTP Digest Authentication:The Digest authentication is the same as Basic except that in this case, the password is sent in an encrypted format. This makes it more secure.
How it works? same as basic authnetication
The disadvatage of this authentication is that it is not supported by many servlet containers since the specification does not mandate it.It is not supported by many browsers also.
iii) HTTPS Client cert authentication: HTTPS is HTTP plus secure socket layer.In this method the authentication is performed when the SSL connection is established between the browser and the server. All the data is transmitted in the encrypted form using public-key cryptography, which is handled by the browser and the servlet container
How it works? first ssl is configured between client and server. and the must must have a certificate produced by organizations such as Verizon
iv) FORM based authentication: This is same as basic authentication
How it works? Instead of browser's pop up box , the developers should write an html form to capture username and password . the form action should be j_security_check and the username and password names should be j_username and j_password.
The disadvantage of this method is it not secure, since the username/password are not encrypted
How to implement the above authentication mechanisms?
To implement any of above 4 mechanisms we have to configure then authentication type the Deployment Descriptor (web.xml) of the web application using the <login-config> tag as shown below
The 4 possiable values are BASIC,DIGEST,CLIENT-CERT,FORM
If it is form based authentication then we do not need to specify the realm name
<!--realm-name not required for FORM based authentication -->
For detailed discussion on how container implements FORM based auth. see se. 13.6.3 of the spec 3.0.These are the 4 authentication mechanisms that servlet 3.0 spec. follows..
2) Authorization: Authorization is the process of determining whether the user is permitted to certain resouces that he/she has requested.For ex: for accesing our bank account we need to authenticate ourselves(authentication), but we are not allowed to access some other's account details(we are not Authorised)
Authorization is just maintaing access control!!
The implementation of authorization will be discussed in part-2
3) Confidentiality: is nothing but ensuring that the information is accessed by only intended receipents.This looks similar to authorization but the difference between them is that authorization prevents the information from reaching(accessing) unintended parties , while confidentiality ensures that even if the information falls into the wrong hands, it cannot be usuable for them.
4) Data Integrity: this gives guartantee that the information or data has not been changed by somebody while it is in the transmission between client and server. Data integrity is usually ensured by sending a hashcode or signature of the data along with the data. At the receiving end, the data and its hashcode
are verified.If the data and its hash code are same on the other side also, then we can conform that integrity is maintained ,if they are not the same then some body in between the network might have changed the data so the server has to reject the request.
How to implement Confidentiality and Data Integrity? we have to write <transport-guarantee> tag in the DD(web.xml) as shown below
The legal values are NONE,CONFIDENTIAL,INTEGRAL
NONE------> this is default value which means there is no data protection
CONFIDENTIAL----->the data must not be seen bt anybody in the transmission
INTEGRAL------>the data must not be changed along the transport
we will see the implementation of servlet security and securing web applications declaratively and programmetically in part-2

Do you want to bring passion back into your life? Whether it's passion for your partner, your career or your artistic or creative projects; dare to bare your sensual inner god or goddess! Having passion in our lives is our soul's elixir. It keeps us on our purposeful path!
"Passion's Promise" is a seductive, proprietary blend of essential oils that awaken your passion fire through the healing science of aromatherapy. (www.holisticunited.com/profile/vegasholistichealthemporium)"Fragrance is processed in an area of the brain that also processes memory and emotion," says Mindy Green, co-author of Aromatherapy: A Complete Guide to the Healing Art.
When we have not embraced passion, we are depleted and we may feel separate from ourselves. We may feel depression, exhaustion, confusion and a constant sense of sacrifice and guilt.
Essential oils work their physical, emotional and psychological wonders by interacting with the olfactory nerves, or entering through the skin; thus, affecting the limbic system in the brain. In "Passion's Promise" you will experience the sensual side of Sandalwood, Jasmine Absolute, and Ylang-Ylang with a hint of citrus!
"Passion's Promise is calming, comforting; yet sexy--I can honestly say I Love it! I can smell the passion in it and would definitely wear it on a hot date," says Katricia Kelly, Founder of BodyKandy Products. (www.bodykandyproducts.com)
"Passion's Promise" is blended to stimulate the hypothalamus; the area of the brain that regulates our energy levels and sex drive. And, it awakens our Heart Chakra; creating a sense of well-being and self-confidence.
Enjoy the Sensual Side of:
- Sandalwood: Sandalwood is found in India and is highly prized for spiritual ceremonies and meditation. It supports immune function and is values for skin moisturizing.
- Ylang-Ylang: Ylang-Ylang elevates sexual energy in both men and women. It releases feelings of anger, tension and nervous irritability.
- Jasmine Absolute: Jasmine has a long history of allure through the laws of attraction! This seductive scent has been used, across time, to lure and allure.

Clinton lackey George Stephanopoulos seemed to have let his personal feelings about Brexit take over during ABC's This Week on Sunday. The moderator asked rather ridiculous and rude questions to Sir Kim Darroch, Britain's Ambassador to the US, about their relationship with the United States going forward. In one of his early questions, Stephanopoulos wondered why the US would even bother with Britain anymore, "if Britain has less leverage in Europe, is it still going to be the first call of the president of the United States?"

Some of the endless Brexit-result bashing from the New York Times on Saturday got personal. In her "reporter's notebook," European culture correspondent Rachel Donadio didn't hide her contempt for the "open xenophobia" and evident ignorance of the Leave side: "This week, it wasn't Greece that was kicked out. It was Britain that voted to leave, after a campaign of open xenophobia." Also, White House reporters Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Mark Landler sadly revealed just how much the voters of Britain have disappointed President Obama
Liberal Pundit Josh Marshall: American Right Favored Brexit Because of the 'Same…Nonsense That Animates Trumpism'By Tom Johnson | | June 26, 2016 | 11:54 AM EDT
Though the Brexit debate didn't break down along ideological lines, some liberal writers focused their morning-after scorn on pro-Leave conservatives. Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Josh Marshall wrote that American conservatives rooted for Brexit because of "the same turn back…the clock to glory nonsense that animates Trumpism…American conservative glee [over Brexit] is just a retreat to the tribalism at the core [of] its nature." The Washington Monthly's Martin Longman thinks Brexit further decreases the chance of a Trump win: "There's a lot of speculation that something similar could happen here in America in our presidential election. But giving the American people a few months to witness the shitstorm created by this right-wing tantrum in England probably makes that less likely than ever."

Washington Post media blogger Erik Wemple took up a NewsBusters post on Thursday: "NPR issues large correction about stay-at-home mom/gun-control activist." Wemple wrote "NewsBusters, the very vigilant group that monitors the mainstream media for lefty bias, appears to have pushed NPR toward this step."
But the really jaw-dropping part of the piece was Wemple's interview with Shannon Watts, the allegedly inexperienced new politico NPR originally presented. Watts spat: "Here's what happens: There's a story about me and then immediately the gun lobby and the trolls, they try to pick apart who I am."

After Britain's shocking vote to leave the European Union, the country's leftist elites (and the New York Times) shouted bootless cries of "xenophobia" to the rafters. Inside the paper lurked doom-saying, paranoia, and "xenophobia," among other plagues to be visited upon Britain for its reckless leap from the crushing embrace of the European Union, an unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy staffed by wealthy elites.

The bizarre inaccuracy of reporting on transgender activists was demonstrated by a recent New York Times blog post (for their "Women of the World" project) headlined "Transgender man opens up about breastfeeding his sons."
He breast-feeds? "He'd undergone surgery to have his breasts removed, but his body still produced milk and he was able to breastfeed — or chestfeed, as he puts it — both of his children. He even started a blog called Milk Junkies and chronicled his experiences."

Concluding his Real Time show on Friday, HBO comedian Bill Maher called on President Barack Obama to go on an "apology tour" around the world to "drive Republicans nuts" and, presumably if Donald Trump loses the presidential election, to send a message that America is "back on our meds." On one of his most anti-America rants, Maher asserted that America "did some bad s***" in its history and has "acted like a nasty drunk" toward other countries. Maher listed Iraq among the list of countries the U.S. should apologize to as he called it "our eternal drunken booty call" which the U.S. invaded because "We were pretty badly hooked on oil at the time, and it made us do some crazy things."

The Washington Post on Friday railed with politically correct anger at the new Civil War-era film Free State of Jones. According to a headline for the Ann Hornaday review, it's the "wrong time for a white Knight's tale." The true story, starring Matthew McConaughey, centers around Netwon Knight, a Missippian who wages war against he Confederacy and the slave-holding class.

As the late Illinois governor Adlai Stevenson observed, the "truth is often unpopular," and people will frequently choose "agreeable fantasy" over "disagreeable fact." This is particularly true of liberal reporters writing about intractable racial problems, like the persistently high-rates of crime and misbehavior among black and inner-city students.

The media missed the story. And its the same story - whether the topic is Donald Trump or the Brexit vote that now has the United Kingdom on the way out of the European Union. For that matter, this story popped up earlier in, of all places, Wisconsin, when Governor Scott Walker took on public employee unions and defeated them in a furious fight that even had him running in - and winning - a recall election forced by his opponents.

The star of "Inside Amy Schumer" and last summer's "Trainwreck" made sure of that. Since rising to "It Comic" status, Schumer has used her platform to speak out on a number of causes. She wants to be taken seriously. Even if she turns serious issues into yuk-yuk satires (that flunk the fact-check test).

After weeks of indecision, ABC decided on May 12 it would renew the Catholic-bashing sitcom The Real O'Neals, loosely based on the childhood of vehement gay sex columnist Dan Savage. But then Noah Galvin, a 22-year-old gay actor playing the fictional version of Savage, gave an interview to New York magazine's Vulture blog that was so rude that The Hollywood Reporter said ABC was reconsidering its options, like reducing the number of episodes ordered for Season 2.
An executive producer who had spent four years getting the series on the air was "begging the network not to take action," said a source to The Hollywood Reporter. One show source added: "He caused a grade-A s--t show. ABC screamed at him all afternoon."

The Washington Post is already working on crafting Obama's presidential legacy story once he leaves office next January – and it isn't just any legacy they are attributing to him – it's an "unusual" legacy. Why? Well, The Post certainly couldn't use Obama Care which was shoved down the throats of Americans and far exceeded projected costs. They couldn't use the issue of Immigration that Obama so passionately ran on during his campaign – especially after it was just smacked down by the Supreme Court earlier this week. No – Obama's "unusual" legacy was being "a good dad," something that had nothing to do with his presidency.

Osama bin Laden routinely referred to his main Western enemies as "crusaders." Conservative-bashing author Neal Gabler, the longtime Fox News Watch panelist, adapted OBL's analogy in a Thursday Salon piece that originally ran at BillMoyers.com. Gabler also griped that if most Americans don't understand just how fanatical Republicans are, blame the media.
"For three decades," Gabler commented, "the MSM have been collaborators with the GOP, pretending" that it's "a normal party," when it's really "closer to a religious cult…It operates on dogma, sees compromise as a moral failing, [and] views enemies as pagans who must be vanquished…That isn't politics; it's a modern version of the medieval Crusades, and as the ancient Crusades did to Europe, it has inflicted untold damage on our country."

On Friday's CBS Evening News, Steve Hartman hinted that the Bible Belt — and specifically, Alabama — was a dangerous place for homosexuals. Hartman pointed out that "a lot of people came out after Orlando" terrorist attack, but touted how "few took as big a risk as Jesse Johnson. Jesse's family lives in Jemison, Alabama, in the heart of the Bible Belt. Fly a flag here, and it better have just red, white, and blue."

When Mother's Day was invented just over 100 years ago, early and multiple motherhood was the near-universal destiny of most women. That all changed 50 years ago with the invention of "the Pill," as oral birth control soon became known.
In 1961, 400,000 women used it. Today 100 million women pop that little magic pellet into their mouths to start their day, confident they won't get pregnant no matter where their fancy leads them.
Contraception didn't begin with the Pill. But real sexual freedom did. Pre-Pill contraception was messy, risky, cumbersome and anti-romantic. By automating and distancing safe readiness for spontaneous sex from the act itself, women felt truly liberated from nature's implacable laws.
Everyone agrees that the Pill coincided with, and arguably caused, the greatest paradigm shift in relations between the sexes in all of human history. Societies in which the Pill is freely available are so different from pre-Pill days in so many ways that we have hardly even begun to take the honest cultural measure of what has been gained and what has been lost in the transition.
At the heart of the debate between those who think the Pill is woman's best friend and those who think it is society's worst enemy is the Pill's cultural separation of sex from procreation. In the West the Pill has undeniably diminished marriage as the social institution that has governed men's and women's sexuality for all of recorded human history (and still does for billions). Men and women always had sex outside marriage, but never with honour before the Pill removed all social stigmas against premarital, promiscuous sex. (If anyone is stigmatized today, it is those who still see marriage as the primary conduit for sexual activity.)
Are women happier today than they were before the Pill? They should be, but, according to a 2009 study in the American Economic Journal, "The paradox of declining female happiness," "[W]omen's happiness has declined both absolutely and relative to men [over the past 35 years] .... and [the decline] is pervasive across demographic groups and industrialized countries."
How can an innovation so liberating in principle not have resulted in expanded happiness for its targeted demographic? I found a provocative answer to that question in an analysis of the Pill's influence by Denver economist Timothy Reichart in the May issue of First Things magazine.
As an economist, Reichart thinks in the language of marketplaces. His most pertinent and helpful observation is that there used to be only a "marriage market" for both men and women, to which all their sexual thinking was directed, and in which sex and morality were inextricably linked. Reliable contraception, however, created a separate, morality-neutral "sexual market," which all young men and women now feel bound to explore before marriage, resulting in a decline in the marriage market and therefore a decline in women's and children's well-being.
In the marriage market, the costs and benefits are equally divided between men and women. But in the sex market, while young women flourish for a while, men's benefits eventually rise and women's fall. That's because women in their thirties defer to their biological clocks and actively seek to enter the marriage market, while men have no such constraints.
So, forced by their biological clocks (one of nature's few remaining trump cards in the battle between technology and natural law), women leave a market where they had bargaining power to enter a market of male scarcity, where marriage-minded women are in oversupply. The competition for available men is intense, which results in women striking bad deals at the margins in order to satisfy their need for children. Reichart argues that such marriages, embarked on with a lower level of commitment than pre-Pill days, leave little wiggle room for disappointment, which, coupled with greater opportunity for infidelity, especially for men (women in the sex market like older men), in turn produces higher divorce rates. All observers agree that divorce hurts women and children more than it does men.
Only one institution stood, and stands, foursquare against the Pill. The Roman Catholic Church predicted that foolproof contraception would lead to the classic "tragedy of the commons": family breakdown, the early sexualization of children, rampant abortion and women's disinvestment from the home.
But, as the old saying goes, being right won't make you president. Women (even the majority of Catholic women) will not live their individual lives to serve "the commons."
Mother's Day ain't what it used to be and never will be again.

San Antonio Spurs' first-round NBA Draft pick Kyle Anderson
Q: Kyle, what is your first reaction to being drafted by the San Antonio Spurs?
A: My first reaction is 'Wow.' It's a great organization. Guys really care about developing their players. That's something that you can see from the outside looking in, watching such a great time like that and great coaches. I'm just really excited to be a part of it.
Q: You have been described as the best passer in this draft, the way the Spurs play, is that sort of tailor-made for your game?
A: Yeah, I think so. Watching the Spurs since last year's playoffs, you know, I can really tell how much and how well they share the ball. Everybody gets everybody involve.d I think that's one of my best attirbutes coming into this league. I think that I could fit in with the offense really well, you know, once I get to learn it and everything.
Q: Did you work out for them at all?
A: No, no I didn't.
Q: What was your first contact with the Spurs?
A: A meeting with the front office guys at the NBA Combine. That was the first time that I got to sit down and speak with them. And, you know, before my name was called today was the second time. Two good talks with them.
Q: What was your impression of them?
A: Well, you know, just guys who are about business. And that is somewhere where you want to be, where it's very business related. They let me know what they are about, and I think that I can offer what they are about. It's an amazing feeling. I think that I can fit into their system. I am going to work my tail off this summer and just find my spot out there to be a great teammate.
Q: In 25 words or less, give us a quick scouting report on Kyle.
A: Well, just a guy – on the court or off the court?
Q: On the court.
A: On the court, just a guy who is unselfish, who likes to get his teammates involved. I think that I can make shots and I can rebound the ball well. I'm a great teammate. That's what you saw a lot with the Spurs in the postseason.
Q: Do you like that nickname "Slow Mo"?
A: It's cool, yeah, I love it. I love it. I really embrace it.
Q: At any point during the playoffs or the NBA Finals, if you were watching the Spurs, did it ever cross your mind that this would be a team that you would fit in with perfectly? And did you ever have that thought while you were watching?
A: Yes sir, I was watching them since the postseason last year and the great regular season they had last year, I could tell from the way that they play that their half-court system is very good. They all share the ball really well. I think that's what I can do. So, you know, watching them play a bunch of times, I always thought that I could fit in with the Spurs very well.
Q: What is your take on Boris Diaw? Some people say that you resemble him a little bit.
A: Man, he's a great player to watch. I've watched him this postseason, and he's great. The way he can share the ball, to knock down open shots, he's a great teammate. Those qualities and characteristics can take your very far in the league. I've followed him since he was in Phoenix. To watch him win an NBA title this year, and to watch him be a key component was amazing, really. You can tell that he really knows how to play the game.
Q: Have you been in contact with any of the current players, or do you know any of them?
A: No. I don't know any of them. I'm just looking forward to being able to meet all of them.
Q: And I'm assuming that you are planning on being at the Summer League later this month?
A: Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Q: Do you speak any foreign languages?
A: No, no. No foreign languages for me.
Q: You better learn.
A: Yeah, yeah I will.
Q: If you had to pick a player who you were most looking to learn from right now, on this roster, who would it be, outside of Boris?
A: It would have to be Tim Duncan. Just a guy who is one of the all-time greats to play this game. He has won so many championships. Just a great player in general. That's someone who I'm really looking forward to learning from.
Q: He may not talk to you the first year.
A: That's cool, I understand that I've got to earn my spot. That's cool. I can learn from a distance.
Q: How old were you when Tim Duncan was drafted in 1997?
A: How old was I? I was four years old. 1993. I was four years old.
Q: Cool, Kyle. Thank you very much. I think we are done for now. Congratulations.
A: Ok, sounds good. Thank you.

Although cruise ships get most of the attention when it comes to norovirus outbreaks, a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) study, released yesterday, found that the majority of cases are linked to food service settings. Food service workers who handle food with bare hands are blamed for the food contamination that is responsible for 64 percent of the country's norovirus cases. Catering and banquet facilities accounted for 17 percent of outbreaks. Only 1 percent of cases are attributed to cruise ships.
The CDC study looked at data from state, territory and local health departments between 2009 and 2012 on norovirus outbreaks reported through the National Outbreak Reporting System. Over the four-year period, health departments reported 1,008 norovirus outbreaks. Contamination in private residences, healthcare facilities, schools and daycare were linked to 6 percent of outbreak reports.
Norovirus is highly contagious, and can be spread wherever groups of people gather and food is served. Approximately 20 million people contract the virus each year through direct contact with infected people or through contaminated food. While infection is generally not life threatening — most people experience a few uncomfortable days of diarrhea and vomiting — the very young and the elderly can develop serious complications. Severe dehydration and malnutrition, which can be fatal, threatens those with compromised immune systems.
To reduce incidents of contamination, The CDC is recommending that food service managers provide training for employees in proper hygiene, regular hand washing and proper food handling. Kitchen managers and food service workers should obtain certification in food safety. Because 90 percent of contamination comes from handling ready-to-eat foods, such as fruit and sandwiches, with bare hands, use of disposable gloves and utensils are recommended rather than directly touching food.
CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden urges food service businesses to implement policies that encourage sick employees to stay home. In a CDC telebriefing, Frieden notes that employees understandably fear losing their jobs if they must call in sick, therefore the burden of keeping ill workers away from food meant for public consumption falls on management. Dr. Frieden recommends offering paid sick leave and having in place a system to call in substitute workers.
"It is vital that food service workers stay home if they are sick; otherwise, they risk contaminating food that many people will eat." — Dr. Aron Hall, CDC Division of Viral Diseases
This study does clear up the misconception that norovirus outbreaks are primarily a hazard of cruise travel. Incidents of outbreaks onboard cruise ships do regularly make the news. Ships are required to report illnesses to health officials, unlike restaurants, and therefore norovirus outbreaks at sea do receive more media attention.

: The Talk of a Lifetime
Shann Hall-LochmannVanBennekom
Mylee was exhausted. She had spent most of the day looking after her roommate, Abbey. She didn�t really mind; she loved Abbey and believed God put her on earth to watch over her. She knew that Abbey was destined for greatness.
Abbey had a serious medical problem that left her in a great deal of pain. When Mylee was ready to move out on her own, she�d heard that Abbey needed someone to watch over her. Mylee had no doubt that God brought them together. They needed each other. Mylee had been searching for a home and Abbey had been praying for a friend.
Mylee stretched and yawned. She wanted to crawl into bed and fall asleep, but she knew Abbey needed her. The pain was becoming unbearable. Mylee shuddered when she heard the agony of Abbey�s screams.
Abbey�s husband and kids were home, but she hated when her kids heard her screams. Mylee paced back and forth in front of the bedroom door. She listened intently, but didn�t hear anyone coming. She didn�t know how anyone could sleep through the ruckus, but she was glad that they did.
Mylee took a deep breath, then pushed the door open and entered the sickroom. Abbey was sprawled out on the bed. Mylee carefully settled in next to her. She looked at Mylee and grumbled, �What, I was in the hospital for a week and nobody could even bother to put clean sheets on my bed?� Mylee just looked at her with her green eyes shooting sparks. �I know, Mylee, it�s not your job, but the kids could have managed to do it.�
Mylee shook her head and listened. �You�re so sweet to listen to my ranting.� Abbey gave Mylee a big hug. �I don�t know what I�d do if it weren�t for you. It must be hard on you when I go into the hospital.�
Mylee�s eyes flew wide open when she saw Abbey reach for the pill bottle. She raised her eyebrows and gave her the look. She growled, �Take it easy on the pain pills. You just took some not that long ago.�
Abbey pushed Mylee aside. �You don�t understand; it hurts so badly. I just want it to stop.� Abbey let the tears fall freely. Her whole body heaved with each sob.
Mylee wrapped herself around her dear friend. She could see the pain and fear in her eyes. She gently nudged the pill bottle from Abbey. �What, afraid you�ll be out on the streets if I die of an overdose?� As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Abbey wanted to reach out and grab them back. It was too late, though. She had gone overboard and hurt her friend�s feelings. �I�m sorry, that was a hateful thing to say. I didn�t mean it; I just feel like I�m nothing but a burden. Maybe it would be easier on everyone if I just drifted off to sleep and never woke up.�
Abbey sighed when Mylee turned her back to her. The words cut through her like a knife. Abbey picked up the pill bottle again. She carelessly fingered the cap, �Are you sure it wouldn�t be better for me to just take the whole bottle? You wouldn�t have to stand guard every time I have a flare-up. The kids wouldn�t have to see me all puffy and ugly. Mark is young enough to get remarried and live a normal life.�
Mylee turned around swiftly and batted the bottle across the room. She hissed, �Don�t ever think that again. God has big plans for you.�
Abbey shook her head. �Thank you, Mylee, you saved my life. I was letting pity pick apart my soul. The Devil works overtime when I�m at my lowest. I can�t leave my family the legacy of suicide. They would think I lied when I told them God will always give us the strength to endure any problem. Thanks for listening.�
Abbey bowed her head. �Dear Jesus, thank you for providing me my every need. If Mylee hadn�t knocked those pills out of my hand, I would have killed myself. Please forgive me. I know I still have work to do. Amen.�
Abbey scooped up Mylee and scratched her behind her ears. �I think the pain has subsided enough for both of us to get some rest.� Abbey flopped back onto the bed with Mylee on her stomach. After listening to Mylee purr, Abbey closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Nice story of how important it is to receive support from others. People need "people" everywhere.(Yes, God uses animals to help us too.) Good writing and smooth read. Blessings. :)
AnneRene' Capp
I absolutey and positively
this. One moment I'm laughing (because I have cats just like Mylee) and could picture her body language, p e r f e c t l y! Also felt the warmth of her comfort. The next, my heart is thumping to the bottom of my stomach as I feel the depth of your aloneness, discouragement and agony. Great ending too! This was definitely worth the extra one week wait. :)
Tiara Huffman
Oh my goodness! the whole time you made me think Mylee was a sweet young lady! but Ladies don't purr! I loved it. Oh sweet Abbey my heart goes out to her,and if Mylee hadn't I WANT to jump in there and knock the pill bottle clear across the room! You did a great job....I almost just gave away the author that would have been bad.
Barbara Lynn Culler
I like the way you made Mylee seem like a human at first.
For anyone following your posts on the forum, they would have immediatly known who wrote this piece.
I wonder tho,in this story, is just knocking a bottle of pills out of your hands reason enough to believe you have reason to go on? That is, unless Mylee actually did bat them out, and then I would take that as a sign!
God does have a plan for you, and He is already using you as greeter and an enourager!
Laury Hubrich
Well now, I had no idea it was a pet. Caught me off guard:) I could really relate to Abbey and her pain and thoughts. I think you maybe should have left it hanging, though. You tidied up the story too quickly. Very good writing!
Genia Gilbert
Hey... my brain is so dull today that I had to go back an reread it after I realized who Mylee was. Good "conversation" idea! Well written, and point well made about needing to tell things out honestly. I also liked your conclusion that God indeed has a great purpose, even when we can't figure it out.
Carol Penhorwood
I hear the depth of despair and feel for the one who lives with pain. It is not an easy road, but it's a path with many witnesses watching how one deals with pain.
Loved the surprise ending (but then I love cats) but wish it could have been longer so that the "problem" could have been dealt with more completely.
Dee Yoder
I had hints and clues that MAYBE this was a kitty, and I was glad to read it was! I have also had a cat who helped me thorugh some very tough days...nothing like that soft fur and lovely purr to bring solace. And, yes, a conversation with your pet is definitley rewarding. Sometimes, a good vent with a sweet animal kingdom friend is just the right medicine! Enjoyed this sweet and honest read.
Joan Campbell
This is filled with so much emotion and depth, that the surprise ending catches your reader completely off guard (unless they are wide awake, which I'm not because it's almost 11 pm here!) I loved it. I also love how you deal with your own struggles through your writing - it's a real blessing to others!
Gregory Kane
A lot of people have already commented on the message underpinning this moral tale. Let me then make a comment about sentence structure. Take a fresh look at your story and count how many times you have a sentence beginning with the name Mylee. I appreciate that you are playing a game with the reader but think about using a pronoun a bit more or maybe starting with a participle. Anything really to break up the sense of repetition. Hope this helps. Gregory
Mona Purvis
As I read it the second time through, I thought about how little it takes sometimes to make a real difference. You point that out so well. Simple story on the surface, but still waters run deep.
Caitlyn Meissner
I thought something was weird at the beginning, but didn't know what it was till the end. Good story! You kept me interested all the way through. :)
Lollie Hofer
Not much more I can add that hasn't been said but still wanted to comment. I liked the surprise at the end...I so didn't see it coming. I could hear and feel the anguish of the mc. Some good points were made about your sentence structure. Overall, well done.
Nichole Hall
I had no idea Mylee was a cat! That was a sweet surprise. I could relate to the mc's pain as I have an illness that keeps me in bed a lot of the time. I could really relate to the thought process of how the illness effects the rest of the family. As a mom I found that to be a natural feeling. In time I've come to realize that God uses my illness to bless me through my children (especially when I'm having a hard time). Good job writing this in a very realistic way!
Colin Swann
A very interesting story of the loving care for another human being who is suffering. Lovely!
Terri Schroeder
This story is great. I thought it was a cat right away, then I decided--no, it's not a cat. Then it turns out to be a cat after all! I liked the mystery effect of it. Great story and I can relate--my little fur buddy is a dog though.
Beth LaBuff
I didn't have a clue that it was anyone other than a human until the end. :) I was so intent on concentrating on the pain of your MC, wishing there was relief for her. I'm a cat-lover, so this warmed my heart!
Edmond Ng
It's sad to know a pet is better company than the people we love and care, yet it is out of love we seldom want to trouble people with our cares. A good read with a clear message for all of us to learn to be more sensitive to the needs of others.
T. F. Chezum
Very well written. My cat Moose is my fury nurse / guardian. There is definitely a special bond between animal and human ... especially when the human needs extra encouragement.
Loren T. Lowery
I see so much potential in this story. I agree with Gregory regarding the overuse of names and substituting pronouns or simply rearranging the sentence structure. I'm a huge fan of those who can write giving animals human qualities(Anthropomorphism) because I truly believe that they can teach us a lot. I hope you keep it up!
Amy Michelle Wiley
Since I know you, I figured out right away that it was an animal, but I'm not sure I would have otherwise. You had a POV switch in the middle of the story, and I agree about the varied sentence structure, but otherwise very well-done. Don't you love how God cares enough about us to even use our pets to reach out to us and show us His love?

The De Tomaso "Pantera" was a mid-engined, production "Musclecar" made and designed in Italy (with support from the Ford Motor Company, mostly for powertrain components) and destined mainly for the U.S. market. It was produced from 1971 to 1991 and evolved over it's 20 year-run into one of the worlds most unique exotics ever produced! This was also, in-part, due it's odd (at the time) blending of "Italian" design, handling and craftsmanship and good-ole American V8, raw musclepower! I say, odd, because the "purists" do not consider it a "real" Italian sporstcar due to it's half-breed combination of Italian and American components. However, it has remained a cult-status vehicle in it's own right and has stood the test of time as one of the most respected, feared (by other makes that cross it's path) and sought after marques of it's time! Although this car was designed in Italy at Ghia (another company owned by De Tomaso at the time) by a US-born designer, named Tom Tjaarda, it is steeped in "Italian" history and exoticar styling. The De Tomaso Car Company of Modena, Italy, was founded in 1959 by Alejandro De Tomaso, an Argentinian-born immigrant and at one time, also owned the likes of the Maserati and Moto-Guzzi brands.
The "Pantera", meaning panther in Italian, replaced the short-lived "Mangusta" model, which was De Tomaso's second-ever production vehicle (which also was powered by mid-engined Ford V8) introduced in 1966 and running through 1971. Their first, was the even shorter-lived, "Vallelunga" mid-engined model, which used a European Ford, Cortina 4-cyl powerplant. The "Pantera" would also be the first De Tomaso vehicle to use an updated steel "moncoque" chassis, which replaced the aluminum "backbone" chassis of earlier De Tomaso mid-engined vehicles. The V-8 supplied by Ford was the 351C (Cleveland) model and was/is considered by most, to be the best of the Ford small-block, V-8 family. It made it's first, official public debut in Modena, Italy in March of 1970 and then made it's U.S. debut a few weeks later at the New York Motor Show to rave reviews. Production was brisk ,at first, and from 1971 through 1973 Modena pushed out over 6,100 units (some 7,260 total production in over 20 years)! But once the big oil "crisis" reared it's ugly head (also in 1973) and the oil embargo started, not to mention the poor fit, finish and quality control problems they were experiencing at De Tomaso, the Ford Motor Company decided to pull the plug on importing these Italian/American musclecars, which they sold through their Lincoln-Mercury dealerships. De Tomaso continued to build the "Pantera", mostly by hand (at about 100 per year) until 1991 (some say a few models trickled out until 1993), at which time all production ended and the "era of the Pantera" was over. More than a footnote in automotive history, the "Pantera" is a legendary vehicle which seemed flawed only by it's human "handlers" of the day.
Check out this fine example of the best of the "Pantera" era, a one-owner 1973 model, which has been completely re-furbished and totally refined, by the more than capable perfectionists at Brighton Motorsports Co. in Scottsdale, AZ. Also please take some time and check out all the other Pantera's and thousands of other vehicles we have listed for your pleasure, right here on our accommodating classiccars.com website. We have something for everyone I guarantee it! Drive safe and have a blast this summer! Cheers, Greg

Prinz, M; Heikenwalder, M; Schwarz, Petra; Takeda, K; Akira, S; Aguzzi, A (2003). Prion pathogenesis in the absence of Toll-like receptor signalling. EMBO Reports, 4(2):195-199.
View at publisher
To reach the brain from peripheral sites, prions must colonize various cell types within the lymphoreticular compartment. However, no prion entry receptors are yet known. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern-recognition receptors that bind a multitude of pathogens and are therefore candidates as effectors of prion entry. Moreover, injection of unmethylated CpG oligodinucleotides, which stimulate TLR9, has been reported to delay peripherally initiated scrapie. We therefore studied prion infection in MyD88(-/-) mice, which are defective in TLR signalling. Despite subtle defects in splenic microarchitecture, MyD88(-/-) mice challenged intraperitoneally or intracerebrally were fully susceptible to disease and died of scrapie after similar incubation times to those of wild-type mice. Splenic infectivity titres rose to similar levels with the same kinetics, and brains showed similar histopathological changes. TLR signalling therefore does not have any major role in prion pathogenesis, and the protective effect of TLR stimulation is unlikely to result from direct interactions with prions.

Biology Field Trip Showcase
In the summer of 2013, Biology A-level students from Strode and Yeovil colleges embarked on a two week field trip to Madagascar. This was an opportunity to experience first hand the effects deforestation is having on this unique environment and the resident wild life.
They visited several National Parks including Ampijora and Andasibe where they trekked in search of lemurs. During their two week visit they saw a total of 15 different species out of the 113 which inhabit Madagascar. These included Indri, Sportive, Red Bellied and Sifaka lemurs. Their guides were very knowledgeable and students learnt about the biological relationships between organisms such as one between snakes and ants. Andasibe also gave students the opportunity to see some of the nocturnal life of Madagascar. As it started to get dark students readied their torches and eagle eyed they set off for a night walk.
Olivia Shoemark from Sparkford said 'The trip proved to be far more educational than I imagined. We had the opportunity to bombard our guides with questions hoping that this information will stay with us for a long time. This also encouraged us to think about the biology behind rainforest life and to put theory into context. We could have learnt this information in the classroom but learning through first-hand experience is so much more valuable.'
At Pereyras reptile farm students saw close up a large variety of indigenous reptiles, some of which they were allowed to hold; including Nile crocodiles, Madagascan tree boa, Tomato frog, Leaf tailed gecko and a Panther Chameleon. The farm also houses a family of Tenrecs, which look like a cross between a hedgehog and a guinea pig.
The trip was also an opportunity to observe the culture and life of the Madagascan people. They saw locals cultivating rice in the vast number of paddies. This was followed by an informative tour of a spice garden which included vanilla, cocoa and cinnamon. Students learnt about how the plants are adapted to their environment, along with the process of getting the vanilla from plant to plate.
On one day they stopped to visit a passing high school and met the students and teachers. In the evening students were treated to a musical and dance performance by local children. Most of the students were encouraged to participate!
On another day they came across a community building where a group of French volunteers from the International Aid charity Tulipe were giving medical aid. The queue of local villagers stretched for over 50m.
The trip concluded with a brief stay on the small island of St. Marie to scuba dive and whale watch. After a training session in the pool students had an amazing 10m dive in the sea where they saw a huge variety of coral life. The whale experience was carried out with a research team so students were involved in collecting data as well as getting a spectacular close up look at the mating behaviour of several humpback whales.
This residential is the Fourteenth such adventure made by Strode and Yeovil student biologists. Previous destinations have included Uganda in 2011, Belize in 2010, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zambia in 2009, Vietnam in 2008, New Zealand and Australia in 2007, Costa Rica in 2004 and Sri Lanka in 2002.

I'm running Win XP SP3 on an IBM R50e laptop, and I just realized a folder named
c8c6ac6192a47b59df in the root of my C:\ drive. I can see 2 folders in it named
amd64 and
i386. These two folders cannot be opened. XP says:
c8c6ac6192a47b59df cannot be accessed. Access Denied.
However, when I view the properties of the strangely-named folder, it shows 2 folders, 0 files, 0 bytes. I tried Unlocker to be able to unlock and delete the folder, but Unlocker says there are no handlers.
What's this folder and how can I delete it?
EDIT: Thanks to ChrisF, I managed to take ownership of the folders and now able to view the contents. Both folders include same files with different sizes. Should I just delete them?

Burke Bindbeutel, University of Missouri School of Law
My recent post discussed a theoretical link between sexual abuse and college sports. I criticized how fans and administrators have shrugged off athletes' bad behavior because they were so valuable to the school in their capacity as players. The intervening scandals at Penn State and Syracuse partially confirmed my hunch, but they also showed how my analysis was lacking. Sex offenders are obviously subject to the full force of the law. It's the culture that surrounds their deeds that we could most improve.
The serial abuse at Penn State implicates not just the perpetrator but everyone who kept it quiet. We don't yet know who knew what and when, but it appears likely that a kind of "institutional liability" should apply to a football program that did not prevent Coach Sandusky's behavior. Supporters of the university have argued for leniency, insisting that Coach Paterno was instrumental in transforming a backwater agricultural school into a deep-pocketed educational juggernaut.
And this is where those of us hanging around outside the stadium ought to speak up. It seems painfully evident that a university should not consider raped children to be collateral damage to its educational mission. But there remains a pervasive loyaty to football programs that even sordid headlines cannot disrupt.
This should not surprise reproductive justice advocates. College sports are an entertainment industry leviathan. Tales of corruption and unethical behavior don't seem to bother the fans. Football teams act as a publicity tent-pole for the rest of the university, attracting alumni dollars and prospective students. The University of Missouri was recently criticized for spending a measly $58 million last year on its athletics department: it had better start investing seriously in sports if it wants to succeed in the Southeast Conference.
Institutions like these bounce back from boycotts, and they can easily ignore signs heaping shame on them, not that those efforts are meritless. Certainly events at Penn State deserve condemnation.
But campus RJ advocates should not expend all their rage on retired coaches at someone else's university. The sensationalism of the Penn State scandal might distract from a problem that exists on every campus. Sexual assault is an all-too-typical part of our environment, often exacerbated by alcohol abuse and made possible by the winking, oblivious-to-consequences culture that Katy Perry has been glorifying.
A hideous scandal can help remind us of how people in high places have a strong incentive to keep their mouths shut. But let's keep our eyes on the ball (so to speak), and ignore the relentless provocations of the 24-hour news cycle. The Green Dots is a campus program that empowers students to eliminate violence not by bemoaning past incidents, but by taking initiative. The "dots" represent moments of bystander intervention, with a goal of making an environment that's thoroughly intolerant of violence. When it seems like the wrongdoers are protected by money and irrational sports fandom, it's important to recall that we all share responsibility for our communities.

This page contains information about digital, not paper, maps. This refers to digital images, or DRGs(Digital Raster Graphics), rather than maps created from vector data. The "maps" can be images of topographic maps, street maps, trail maps, satellite images, or images of aerial photos. I use these maps in conjunction with my GPS and OziExplorer. For a comparison of some digital maps available for Canada, see my Map Comparisons page.
The Canadian Centre for Topographic Information used to have a website called "Toporama", but it is no longer available. Through that website you could get 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 scale topographic map images in GIF format. They had been computer-generated, and had no map collar. Typical image size was 3200x1600 pixels. All the images corresponded to the Canadian National Topographic System (NTS) mapsheet numbering scheme. There were limitations for those map images, such as no labels on contour lines. You can also see some of these older Toporama map images in use on some of my earlier Degree Confluence visits: 50°N 123°W 50°N 122°W 49°N 124°W 49°N 117°W
Canada's national topographic mapping agency, the
Centre for Topographic Information
(CITS) of Natural Resources Canada(NRCAN) is responsible for the acquisition, management
and dissemination of topographic information for the Canadian landmass.
Topographic maps produced by Natural Resources Canada conform to the National Topographic System(NTS) of Canada. They are available in two standard scales, 1/50,000 and 1/250,000. Printed copies of the NTS Index Maps are available for free from Map Dealers. Digital copies of the current Edition 2 Index Maps are available from this FTP site in both GIF and PDF format. Despite being in a directory named "small_scale", the files are fairly large, starting at about 4.5MB. Other sources of digital copies of the Index Maps that I have seen in other locations on the CITS and NRCAN web or FTP servers are not for the current edition of the Index Maps.

I don't know about you, but I'm so (like, so so so so) happy that summer's coming. This winter was a long, snow-filled one in New England, and everyone I know is happy to see the thermometer finally rising a little. Which brings me to thoughts of summer plans. Which brings me to barbecues and […]
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Bundles with Sage Infused Sour Cream
See, I do eat vegetables. (Granted, they're almost always wrapped in some kind of pork product, but still.) Asparagus, even! Some folks would say it's not possible. When I was a kid, I hated asparagus so much that I used to hide it behind the couch. True story. Oh, how times have changed. So, this […]
Simple Spinach Salad with Toasted Walnuts & Gorgonzola
So, a handful of years ago, I worked out of my house full-time as a freelance writer and editor. When business was slow, I'd fill in behind the counter at Priscilla's, a little catering/gourmet take-out joint owned by a friend of mine. Priscilla's was a ton of fun. And you know how I love food: […]
Poached Pears with Spiced Caramel
If you know me, you know that I'm not a huge fan of making fussy desserts. Creamy. Buttery. Rich. Yes. But fussy, not my speed. (Don't get me wrong, I love fancy pastry, but life's too short to make certain things at home…) This dessert is actually the best of both worlds: It *seems* fussy, […]
How to Make Stuffed Artichokes
Nom, nom, nom. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you! I was too busy attacking the artichokes! These artichokes weren't always so delicious. In fact, at one point, they were actually practically attacking me. Don't let this pile of beautiful, green artichokes fool you. They may look benign, but these little guys are as sharp […]
Fresh and Spicy Peach Salsa
This is one of my favorite fruity salsas. The sweetness of the peaches is offset by spicy Serrano chilis, lime, cilantro, and an unexpected party guest: cool, crisp cucumber.
Green Almonds
Green almonds have a really short season—sharing that Endangered Spring Vegetable Status with ramps, fiddlehead ferns, and pea greens—from April to about mid-June. You might find them labeled "fresh almonds."
Spicy White Pizza with Bacon, Shrimp & Asparagus
For this pizza, you build layers of flavor by quickly sautéing the shrimp in a little bit of bacon fat and freshly cracked black pepper. The bacon adds a subtle smokiness that pairs really well with the asparagus.
Drunken Cranberry Orange Compound Butter
I know: When will I stop raving about compound butter? Never, probably. (But I'll bet you could guess that.) The stuff is just too easy to make—and too darned good. What is compound butter? If you've never made it, compound butter is a great way to add a lot of flavor to a dish with […]
Orange Pound Cake
Warning: Baking this cake will fill your kitchen with the irresistible smell of oranges. This is a slightly modified version of a recipe I saw recently in Saveur. It's a buttery pound cake shot through with freshly grated orange zest and soaked with sweet orange syrup.butter, cake, orange, sugar

Last year, two of Joe Gibbs Racing's three Sprint Cup Series drivers made the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, with both Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch finishing in the top four in points. Kenseth, Busch and Denny Hamlin, who won the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway last November, are together for another Cup Series season, which gets underway with the Daytona 500 on Sunday, February 23rd.
Matt Kenseth
In spite of losing the championship to Jimmie Johnson by 19 points, Kenseth had one of the best seasons of his career, tallying seven wins and 20 top 10 finishes, in his first season away from Roush Fenway Racing. In 2014, the No. 20 Toyota Camry returns to the track with Home Depot's Husky Tools and Dollar General on board.
Matt Kenseth statistics:
· Best Cup Series tracks (average finishes) – Kentucky Speedway (4.7 in three races), Texas Motor Speedway (8.3 in 23 races), Michigan International Speedway (9.6 in 29 races)
· Worst Cup Series tracks (average finishes) – Sonoma Raceway (20.7 in 14 races), Talladega Superspeedway (17.7 in 28 races)
· Most wins in Cup Series – Auto Club Speedway (three wins), Bristol Motor Speedway (three wins), Las Vegas Motor Speedway (three wins), seven tracks with two wins each
Kyle Busch
Busch rebounded from a disappointing 2012 season, where he finished 13th and out of the Chase, to finish fourth in 2013. Busch competed in 73 races across NASCAR's top three series (36 Cup, 26 Nationwide and 11 Camping World Truck Series), winning a combined 21 times (four Cup, 12 Nationwide and 5 Truck) – Busch has proven time and again that the more he races, the better he races. The No. 18 Toyota returns with M&M/Mars and Interstate Batteries among the season's sponsors.
Kyle Busch statistics:
· Best Cup Series tracks (average finishes) – Kentucky Speedway (5.3 in three races), Richmond International Raceway (7.2 in 18 races), Watkins Glen International (8.1 in nine races)
· Worst Cup Series tracks (average finishes) – Kansas Speedway (23.3 in 13 races), Talladega Superspeedway (21.9 in 18 races), Homestead-Miami Speedway (21.3 in nine races)
· Most wins in Cup Series – Bristol Motor Speedway (five wins), Richmond (four wins), four tracks with two wins each
Denny Hamlin
After missing four races early in the season with a back injury, it took Hamlin most of the rest of the season to get back in the swing of things. He finally broke through to victory lane at the season finale at Homestead-Miami, making it eight-straight seasons where he's had at least one win. The No. 11 Toyota will receive continued sponsorship from FedEx and SportClips for the 2014 season.
Denny Hamlin statistics:
· Best Cup Series tracks (average finishes) – Darlington Raceway (5.4 in eight races), Martinsville Speedway (8.1 in 16 races), New Hampshire Motor Speedway (9.0 in 16 races)
· Worst Cup Series tracks (average finishes) – Sonoma Raceway (22.9 in eight races), Daytona International Speedway (21.5 in 16 races), Dover International Speedway (20.5 in 16 races), Chicagoland Speedway (20.5 in eight races)
· Most wins in Cup Series – Martinsville Speedway (four wins), Pocono Raceway (four wins), five tracks with two wins each

Alas, no coitus tonight
Imagine my surprise and delight yesterday morning when, while looking for slugs, I instead came upon a Bipalium adventitium crawling about on the wet trunk of a beech.
This was near the spot where I had found another one of these land planarians in May 2009. Obviously, these planarians, which are believed to have been introduced to North America from eastern Asia, have established themselves in the wild and are here to stay.
After taking a few pictures of the planarian, I put it in a container and brought it home. This morning I put it and the one I've been keeping since last September in a wet petri dish. The planarians in the genus Bipalium are known to mate1, that is reproduce sexually, and then produce cocoons containing offspring. However, not much seems to have been published about their reproductive biology. So I was hoping to gain some carnal knowledge from these slimy beasts.
After almost 12 hours of confinement and numerous encounters, I don't think the 2 have mated yet. One problem is I don't quite know how I can tell when 2 planarians are mating. And how long does their mating last? There were several occasions when the 2 were on top of each other, but I didn't notice anything unusual that would have indicated they were copulating.
But at least they seemed to be enjoying each other's company, if they have such feelings.
Observations will continue and updates may be posted.

VIDEO: Sylvester Stallone shilling for VW in Brazil
Many actors loan out their famous faces to make some extra coin in foreign markets without over saturating their image here in the States. Big screen tough guy Sylvester Stallone is no different, and since he hasn't had a good financially successful picture since Demolition Man, he was probably pretty excited when Volkswagen of Brazil came calling. Following the jump are two VW commercials for the VW Gol hatchback. The first one is a minute and a half long, and features a Rambo-style helicopter vs. sub-Polo Gol battle royale. And the second one involves a group of curious onlookers honing in on the Gol as it sits parked on the side of the road. Both ads feature a rough-looking Stallone showing up at the end, and even though he only utters a few words, a Portuguese-speaking dub is needed. Hillarious, and kind of sad at the same time. Thanks for the tip, Carlos!

Michael Gerson – "In response to a genuine problem, the Bureau of Prisons has managed to be late, clumsy and self-defeating, all at the same time." (via)
Laurie Goodstein – "Behind the walls of federal prisons nationwide, chaplains have been quietly carrying out a systematic purge of religious books and materials that were once available to prisoners in chapel libraries. The chaplains were directed by the Bureau of Prisons to clear the shelves of any books, tapes, CDs and videos that are not on a list of approved resources.
Seattle Weekly – "Thanks to a controversial "approved vendor system,†state prisons are slowing the flow of books behind bars."

College Hockey:Bobcats Retain Heroes' Hat With Draw
HAMDEN, Conn. — Quinnipiac's Mark Hallam scored the tying goal with 10:00 left as Quinnipiac drew with Connecticut, 2-2, to keep the Heroes' Hat in Hamden.
The winner of the season series between the two teams is awarded the "Heroes Hat," a fireman's hat worn by Joseph Mascali, a firefighter who passed away in the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Mascali was the father of Quinnipiac students Chris and Jenn Mascali, and at Connecticut the award honors Amy Jarret, a flight attendant and sister of former UConn players Matt Jarret.
The Bobcats have won the first two series, and this year was the third in a row that Quinnipiac has won the Hat. Quinnipiac won the season series by taking the first meeting of the season on October 31, 4-2, and then two ties, including Saturday night.
In the first period, Quinnipiac jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a play that developed out of the right wing corner in the offensive end. Quinnipiac forward Matt Craig emerged from the corner, and took a quick shot on goal. The puck sprang off the pads of Connecticut goalie Scott Tomes and out to the top of the crease. Quinnipiac's Matt Froehlich saw the loose rebound in front, and used his reach put the puck inside the left post.
Quinnipiac outshot UConn 17-8 in the first stanza, which included two Quinnipiac power plays.
"You have to give a lot of credit to UConn; they played well tonight and Tomes made some great saves, especially in the first period, to keep them in the hockey game," said Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold.
Period two belonged to the Huskies. Connecticut struck just 1:38 in on a scramble in front of the Quinnipiac net. The puck was tied up among skates to the left of the cage, but Trevor Stewart pushed it toward the net, where it was redirected to the right side for Matthew Scherer, standing all alone in front.
Scherer fired the puck into the back of the net to even the score at 1-1.
The Huskies continued to force turnovers and create traffic in front of Quinnipiac's Jamie Holden. UConn broke the tie at the 8:31 mark of the second period on a miscommunication in front of the Quinnipiac net.
Quinnipiac defensemen Ty Deinema and Troy Maleyko both went to pursue the puck behind the net. Then, when UConn regained control Brian Burns found Scott McDougall crashing toward the net. McDougall took the pass and rifled a shot past Holden to give the Huskies a 2-1 advantage.
"It is like the same thing that happened last night against AIC, where we have a great first period but we still struggled in the second period," said Pecknold.
In the third the Bobcats battled back to tie the game with just 10 minutes left in regulation. Reid Cashman seized an opportunity to skate in and put the puck toward the net. Just as the puck came through the two faceoff circles, Quinnipiac's Mark Hallam deflected the puck into the top left corner to tie the game at 2.
Quinnipiac had the best chance to win in regulation immediately following a UConn power play. Matt Craig had been called for slashing, but he picked up a length-of-the-ice pass as he flew out of the box for a breakaway. Craig lost possession of the puck as he crossed the UConn blue line and only managed to control the puck enough to put a pass through the UConn crease.
Holden made 27 saves for Quinnipiac, while UConn's Tomes stopped 37 shots.
"Scott has being playing better and better he seems to be more confident and instead of allowing the first goal, and thinking that's the ballgame; he has kept his head in there and played well," said Marshall.
Connecticut will travel to Sacred Heart on Tuesday at 7 p.m., while Quinnipiac will wait till next Friday to host Bentley.

Get Ready for High-Style Delights at Sequoia Park Zoo's 7th Annual Zootini Gala
July 18, 2013
This year's Zootini Gala celebrates the iconic Bald eagle, one of the animals to be featured in the zoo's Watershed Heroes project. Join friends and zoo residents at the annual high-style Sequoia Park Zoo fundraiser on Saturday, August 10 from 5 to 9 p.m.
Zootini will be a fun-filled evening with live music by Lost Coast Marimbas, a delicious dinner catered by Uniquely Yours, live and silent auctions, and up-close animal encounters with zookeeper talks—all against the backdrop of the beautiful Sequoia Park redwoods. The ever-popular "Monkey Bar", hosted by Six Rivers Brewery, will be in full swing and feature mouth-watering "zoo-tinis", including this year's theme cocktail – the Regal Eagle – a delightful blend of gin, St. Germain, and grapefruit juice with optional Champagne bubbles. More traditional cocktails, as well as a wide selection of beers, wines, and non-alcoholic beverages will be on hand to satisfy every palate.
Bidding on items in the silent and live auctions is a great way to engage in a little competition with friends to support the zoo. Guests can also try their hand at the Lucky You! wine pull: purchase a ticket and pull out a bottle of wine – which could be worth anywhere between $5 and $100 or more – it's all in the luck of the draw.
"This year's Zootini marks a milestone for Sequoia Park Zoo," said Nicole Spencer, Director of Development & Communications for the Sequoia Park Zoo Foundation, which puts on the ritzy event every year. "We are getting close to breaking ground on the Watershed Heroes project, a one-of-a-kind experiential exhibit that will bring River otter, salmon and Bald eagles to the zoo. Fundraising efforts are ongoing and guests at Zootini will help ensure the Watershed Heroes project will be open by this time next year."
The evening is expected to sell out and advance tickets are encouraged; tickets are available to purchase online, at the Zoo's Ticket Booth, or by calling 707-442-5649. Advanced ticket prices are $60 members and $65 for non-members; tickets at the gate are $75. A limited number of tables for eight are also available for advance purchase at $500 and include reserved seating for eight, butler service, and name in the event program.
Most areas of the zoo will be open for exploration during the evening. So dress up in your finest and come walk among the animals to support our local zoo. Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 10 to connect with the wild inside you at the Sequoia Park Zoo, located at 3414 W St. in Eureka. This is a 21 or over event.
