SQL Server Security: Encrypting Data
Last updated Mar 28, 2003.
High security requirements exist in more places than you might think. The headlines are rife with examples of careless government and commercial employees that have left laptops unprotected, ruining the credit and privacy of hundreds of thousands of people that trusted them with their private data. Even if you don't think you store personal or private data, you should understand the options you have for protecting this kind of data, since at some point you'll want to do so.
Private or sensitive data should absolutely never be removed from a protected environment. When companies (and the government) decide to do this, they put us all at risk. There are, however, certain exceptions. The police need instant access to data to find out if the bad guys in the building have a past record. The fire department needs to know where the dangerous chemicals are, and medical personnel need access to your records to make sure they don't cause a dangerous drug interaction. For data that will be "at rest", or located on a device, encryption might be the right thing to do.
Security for your data involves not just the techniques I'll describe in this tutorial, but a comprehensive security plan. I've got a series on that starting here, so make sure you pay attention to physical security, settings, Service Packs and the other areas that make up a secure system. Again, I'm focusing on protecting the data itself, should someone gain access to it.
There are two basic ways to protect data within the database: hashing, and encryption. Hashing data involves taking the data and putting it through a formula, giving a result. For instance, assume you have my social security number (SSN) in a database. You could multiply each number in my SSN by, say, 2:
My SSN: 123456789
New value: 24681012141618
Now take that and divide it by, say 26: 949269697754.53846153846153846154
So to "hash" my SSN, we did this: f(x) = ((x of each N)*2)/26
This is the number you store on both "sides" of the transaction you want to make, so the other system never stores the original number, but verifies that it's the same thing. It's a one-way operation, meaning that there is no way to get back to my SSN, since you're sending neither the original value or even the formula to the other system. This is how passwords work in many operating systems.
Of course, since this is a one-way transaction, it wouldn't be very useful to use in a single database, since at some point you do actually want to get the original value back. For that, you need encryption.
Encryption (literally, "to bury") is the process of applying a formula on data that you can reverse in some way. It takes the original value in, stores another value and "knows" the formula to unlock it again. SQL Server 2005 (and higher) has functions to help you do this, and that's the focus of this tutorial.
In this tutorial I'll explain how encryption is used in SQL Server version 2005 and higher. If you have high demands for security, you should immediately switch from SQL Server 2000 to the later versions anyway, since there are several security improvements in the later versions and the small fact that SQL Server 2000 is now out of primary support. If you have to use SQL Server 2000, you'll need to use Application Programming Interfaces (API's) to call an encryption function, or you can buy a package that will encrypt data for you. Keep in mind, with that version out of support, you won't have the security updates needed to keep it safe.
The encryption I'll describe in this tutorial deals with columns of data, not the entire database. It's rare that you need to encrypt the entire database, but normally only one or more columns of particularly sensitive data. This brings up an important point. Before you start encrypting data, you should think about a proper design. If an application is designed and implemented properly, you may not need to encrypt data at all. Let's take a look at a concrete example.
Assume that your organization approaches you and tells you that the requirements for a new application they are developing involve storing a client's name along with their Social Security Number. They also want the field agents to have copy of a subset of this data on their laptops.
Your first step should be to ask if it is absolutely necessary to have this information on a remote database. You should explain the financial and personal impacts if this data is compromised, and you should point out recent high-profile cases as backup. If the name and number are required for identity verification (a common practice, although illegal), then you should ask if only a portion of the number can be used. You can then create a practice of removing all but a few of the numbers that would be stored remotely, lessening your risk. Or perhaps you could set up a hash for the data for those remote systems.
But let's assume that your firm (foolishly) requires the number to be stored in these laptop databases. The next thing you should do is work with the broader IT department and ensure that the laptops have an encrypted directory for the data, that they have strong passwords, and a "wipe when stolen" mechanism. You should also brief each laptop user about how dangerous it is to have this data, and that they will be held responsible for its loss. After all that, you'll need to develop the processes to encrypt and decrypt the data.
Encryption Background
Encryption is simply changing one form of text (plaintext) into another (ciphertext) by passing it through a formula (encryption algorithm), which includes a number or string that is known by one or more people (key). A simple form of encryption is letter substitution, where one letter stands for another. Of course this kind of encryption is quite easy to break, because you can study the distribution of letters and begin to make guesses about what letters are standing in for others, simply because most languages have certain letters that are used more often.
But a more robust form of encryption does the character substitution according to rather lengthy formulas that shift the substitution around quite frequently. While this is far more secure, you would have to have a separate formula for each use. To get around that, some of the parts of the formula involve a number or string that is changed for each person or organization. Now you can reuse the formula that a lot of people know, because each one will have their own "key" that is substituted in the formula.
There are two types of encryption keys. One is called symmetric, and the other is called asymmetric. A symmetric key is the same to encrypt the data (change it from plaintext to ciphertext) that you use to decrypt the data (change it back from ciphertext to plaintext). Creating a simple password on a file and then telling someone the password is an example of using a symmetric key. The same password encrypts the file and decrypts it.
An asymmetric key has two parts. One key is known to someone else (called the public key), and they can use it to encrypt data. The other half of the key (called the private key) is used along with the public key to decrypt the data. An asymmetric key is also called a public/private key pair.
You can use either kind of key to encrypt data by inserting the data through a function. I'll discuss the options and mechanisms in a moment.
SQL Server uses encryption by leveraging the Windows operating system. The operating system has an encryption mechanism called the Data Protection API (or DAPI) built right in. When you install SQL Server, it uses this DAPI to create the main key that SQL Server users, called the Service Master Key. This key is generated automatically, without any input from you. Your only job is to back up that key, using the command BACKUP SERVICE MASTER KEY a VERY important step that you should take right now, if you've never done so.
For you to encrypt data, you'll also need for the database to have a key. I'll show you how to create that in a moment. That key is then used in all of the encryption routines.
Asymmetric Certificates and Keys
As I mentioned earlier, there are two types of keys, symmetric and asymmetric. There are two kinds of asymmetric mechanisms: certificates and keys. They are both used the same way, and are the same strength. You can create a new asymmetric key with this command:
CREATE ASYMMETRIC KEY MyNewAsymmetricKey WITH ALGORITHM = RSA_512 ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'NeedAReallyStrongPasswordHere!'; GO
I'll show you how you can use this key in a moment. For the full syntax of this command and all its options, check this reference.
Certificates are just files that have keys in them, and they work the same way. In fact we used them in my tutorial on encrypting connections. I talk about them more in that tutorial. To create a certificate, use the CREATE CERTIFICATE command. You can find out more about that in this reference.
You might wonder why I'm not spending a lot of time on those commands. The reason is that you may not want to use asymmetric methods for data encryption. Asymmetric encryption is inherently slower than symmetric encryption, and has some limitations on how much data can be encrypted. Not only that, asymmetric encryption is really more useful when you want someone to know how to encrypt data (using the public key) but not decrypt it (you do that with the private key). In my example, I want the remote laptop to be able to both encrypt and decrypt the data, so I'll focus on the symmetric keys in this tutorial. If you'd like to learn more about asymmetric keys in general, there's a great "Video Mentor" download here.
Symmetric Keys
Interestingly enough, you can create a symmetric key (and this holds true for asymmetric keys as well) by using certificates, passwords, and even other keys. I'll keep it simple in this example and use a password, but you should give this some thought. You're going to have to give that key to someone (like the developer), so a certificate might be a good choice.
I'll use the CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY command, and you can find the full syntax for that here. I'll explain the parts we need as I go.
Make sure you're following along on a test system, and on test data. You can really hurt yourself if you lose your keys or forget your password. In that case you can't get your data back, or replace the key. You're just out of luck. So make sure you're using a test system for this exercise.
First, if you want to follow along, set up a database to work with on your test system, of course. Open Management Studio, and connect to your test server. Then open a query in the master database, and type the following command:
CREATE DATABASE EncryptionTest; GO USE EncryptionTest; GO
That creates a simple database, with all the defaults. We'll get rid of it at the end of this exercise. Next, you need a table to work with. For this simple exercise, we'll create only two columns: one to hold the name and the other to hold the identification number. Let me say again how bad of an idea this is, since we shouldn't store an ID remotely no matter what. But here is the syntax to create the table nonetheless:
CREATE TABLE SensitiveData (FullName VARCHAR(255) , IDNumber varbinary(128)); GO
You can see that I've made the ID a large variable binary number, even though it will be a human-readable string. That's because the encrypted data will be in binary format.
Now let's get started on the encryption. Before you do anything else, you need to get some basic maintenance out of the way. We need to back up the server Service Master Key again, this is for your test server, not production. You should have an entirely different place to store that key!
Here are the commands for your test server:
BACKUP SERVICE MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'c:\temp\SMK.buf' ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'UseAStrongPassword!1231'; GO
This example sends the Service Master Key to a file in a "temp" directory, and secured that with a password, which is required. Make sure you pick something strong, and then store that backup file somewhere.
Now you need the database master key, since that isn't created automatically, and back it up right away as well:
USE EncryptionTest; GO CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'UseAStrongPassword!1232'; GO BACKUP MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'c:\temp\DBMK.buf' ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'UseAStrongPassword!1233'; GO
Now you're ready to create a symmetric key. Here's the command script, which creates the key, sets it to use a password, using the DES level of strength (more on that here in this reference for the syntax) and a password. No, you can't back this one up:
CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY SymmetricKeyTest WITH ALGORITHM = DES ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'UseAStrongPassword!1234'; GO
With the key in place, now you can use a function to insert data into your table, encrypting only the ID along the way. The process is to open the key, and then use it to encrypt the data. I'll show you how to insert the data first, and then I'll explain what you're doing here:
OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY SymmetricKeyTest DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'UseAStrongPassword!1234'; GO INSERT INTO SensitiveData VALUES ( 'Buck Woody' , EncryptByKey(Key_GUID('SymmetricKeyTest'), '1234567890') ); GO
Here's the breakdown of what you just typed. The first thing you need to do is open the key so you can use it, with the same password. That's the symmetric part.
The next thing you need to do is insert the data. The first field is easy, since it's a simple insert for character data. The more interesting part is the EncryptByKey() function. It needs a key number, so you use yet another function to find that, called Key_GUID(). Then you give it the key name, and the value you want to encrypt. That's all there is to it.
Now assume the laptop with the database is stolen, and the criminal that finds it wants to take a look at the data. He (or she) opens the database, and issues the following query:
SELECT * FROM SensitiveData; GO
What does the perpetrator get back? Not much:
Buck Woody 0x0036CB777A989E4FB0215F2F2828179201000000FB39971B4C90A681936573137522 56467621B07BC5A12D716EEEE699E275E318
Which of course isn't terribly useful. But assume you haven't lost the laptop. You now need to see the data. You can use a corresponding function to read the encrypted data:
OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY SymmetricKeyTest DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'UseAStrongPassword!1234' SELECT FullName , CAST(DecryptByKey(IDNumber) AS VARCHAR) FROM SensitiveData; GO
And there you have it. Now let's clean all this up:
USE master; GO DROP DATABASE EncryptionTest; GO
Careful with that Data
All this being said, you shouldn't enter into a decision to encrypt data lightly. Unless you carefully create and implement your plan, you can lock yourself out of your data. The keys and certificates that you can use to encrypt your data require special maintenance and backup, in excess of the regular maintenance your system requires. The backup for a key is potentially more sensitive than the database backups you take. If you lose an unprotected database backup, only that data is compromised. If you lose the database key, any data encrypted with it is at risk. So be careful with this powerful tool.

Tech 3's Cal Crutchlow claimed the final front row spot, narrowly denying the satellite Hondas of Stefan Bradl and Alvaro Bautista.
Jonathan Rea, in his MotoGP qualifying debut, meanwhile sealed ninth, just 1.5 seconds down on Pedrosa.
With the field starved of mileage during three practice sessions in which conditions made running almost futile, the opening half of qualifying was unsurprisingly devoted to testing runs and garage feedback rather than chasing times.
That all changed in the final minutes however as times tumbled and the top spot changed hands several times per lap.
With three minutes to go Bradl held provisional pole for his LCR outfit, which is based in San Marino.
Crutchlow snatched pole less than forty seconds later however, before lowering his own benchmark next time around by dipping to a 1m34.001s.
He ran wide on his final lap though, meaning he was powerless to respond if any of his rivals improved.
Fittingly for such a breathless conclusion, he did not have to wait long. Moments after crossing the line, Crutchlow was followed by the works bike of Lorenzo, who set a new overall best of 1m33.875s.
Pedrosa looked well short of matching that but found massive time in the final sector to spring a surprise and claim pole by just 0.018s.
In what was a remarkably close session, Bautista in fifth was still within half a second of Pedrosa's time, while Valentino Rossi - enjoying a strong qualifying in what will be his last race for Ducati on home soil - was 0.7s back in sixth.
Andrea Dovizioso finished seventh ahead of Ben Spies, who had been running well early on but missed the final 10 minute flurry when he dropped his bike at Turn 1.

The Honeymoon Phase
Is The Honeymoon Phase Over Or Is She Over You?
Reader's QuestionHey Doc,
Natasha and I have been together for almost five months. The tell-tale signs of high interest were there at the beginning. It included lots of physical contact as well as introducing me to friends and family. Now, everything has changed. There's emotional intimacy, we've exchanged the 'L' word for a while now, and she came home with me recently to meet my family. I'm definitely in a loving relationship, but where's the spark? I think people can love one another without really wanting each other. Natasha's certainly not tearing my clothes off anymore and I'm not convinced she's all that excited to talk to me or see me even though we spend pretty much all of our time together.
The situation is confusing and there are a number of variables to consider. Natasha's pregnant now (it was unplanned) but she's excited, even if she's concerned with her body image going in the wrong direction. So, given that there's so much happening, including what I believe to be a genuine emotional attachment between us, I'm having trouble determining whether Natasha's interest has declined or if we've just transitioned into being a comfortable couple. In the past, I've bailed out when the relationship loses the "spark," but I get the sense that everyone else thinks it's normal to lose the honeymoon period and we should all just accept that.
I do what I can to maintain interest, like arranging nice dates and I make it clear that I'm still very interested in Natasha romantically. Since there's genuine love in this relationship and a baby on the way, I'm eager to see if Natasha's actually lost interest in me and just wants to stick it out since we're comfortable together and have some higher stake in things now. I'd much rather a girl just break it off at the first sign of disinterest than keep me as a placeholder until the next, more interesting guy comes along. Sometimes there's just nothing to be done about whether someone is interested in you or not and you have to just cut your losses (though I'll add here that I'm still going to be involved with the baby and support the baby and Natasha either way).
Where do you stand on the subject, Doc? How can you tell the difference between entering a normal comfortable relationship period and a real decline in interest?
Fabian — who's concerned about the future
Hi Fabian,
Doc Love's Response
Having all of these things happen with Natasha within the space of five months was awfully fast — it's much too fast, and that's your main problem. But it's not true that people can love each other without wanting one another. To you Psych majors, when you love somebody, you want them. If you don't want them, you don't love them.
Let me explain something to you. Natasha isn't all that jazzed to see you anymore because you're right on top of her all the time. You've absolutely murdered Challenge by spending all your time with her. Guy, you have to have some outside interests in life. You can't expect a woman to be everything to you. So you're too available for Natasha. You've headed into the boredom stage so quickly because you don't have any other things occupying your mind. If you did, you'd at least have something to talk to Natasha about.

User Bio
Born in Canada in 1960, David Rokeby has been creating interactive sound and video installations with computers since 1982. His early work Very Nervous System (1982-1991) is acknowledged as a pioneering work of interactive art, translating physical gestures into real-time interactive sound environments. Very Nervous System was presented at the Venice Biennale in 1986, and was awarded the first Petro-Canada Award for Media Arts in 1988 and Austria's Prix Ars Electronica Award of Distinction for Interactive Art in 1991.
Several of his works have addressed issues of digital surveillance, including Watch (1995), Taken (2002), and Sorting Daemon (2003). Watched and Measured (2000) was awarded the first BAFTA award for interactive art from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in 2000.
Other works engage in a critical examination of the differences between human and artificial intelligence. The Giver of Names (1991-) and n-cha(n)t (2001) are artificial subjective entities, provoked by objects or spoken words in their immediate environment to formulate sentences and speak them aloud.
David Rokeby's installations have been exhibited extensively in the Americas, Europe and Asia. He has been an invited speaker at events around the world, and has published two papers that are required reading in the new media arts faculties of many universities. In 2002, Rokeby was awarded a Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts, Canada's highest honour in visual art, the Prix Ars Electronica Golden Nica for Interactive Art (for n-cha(n)t) and represented Canada at the Venice Biennale of Architecture with Seen (2002). In 2004 he represented Canada at the São Paulo Bienal in Brazil. In 2007 he completed major art commissions for the Ontario Science Centre and the Daniel Langlois Foundation in Montréal.

Primitives are clipped to the clip volume. In clip coordinates, the view volume is defined by
This view volume may be further restricted by as many as n client-defined clip planes to generate the clip volume. (n is an implementation dependent maximum that must be at least 6.) Each client-defined plane specifies a half-space. The clip volume is the intersection of all such half-spaces with the view volume (if there no client-defined clip planes are enabled, the clip volume is the view volume).
A client-defined clip plane is specified with
void ClipPlane ( enum p, double eqn[4] ) ;
The value of the first argument, p, is a symbolic constant, CLIP_PLANEi, where i is an integer between 0 and n-1, indicating one of n client-defined clip planes. eqn[4] is an array of four double-precision floating-point values. These are the coefficients of a plane equation in object coordinates: , , , and (in that order). The inverse of the current model-view matrix is applied to these coefficients, at the time they are specified, yielding
(where M is the current model-view matrix; the resulting plane equation is undefined if M is singular and may be inaccurate if M is poorly-conditioned) to obtain the plane equation coefficients in eye coordinates. All points with eye coordinates that satisfy
lie in the half-space defined by the plane; points that do not satisfy this condition do not lie in the half-space.
Client-defined clip planes are enabled with the generic Enable command and disabled with the Disable command. The value of the argument to either command is CLIP_PLANEi where i is an integer between 0 and n; specifying a value of i enables or disables the plane equation with index i. The constants obey .
If the primitive under consideration is a point, then clipping passes it unchanged if it lies within the clip volume; otherwise, it is discarded. If the primitive is a line segment, then clipping does nothing to it if it lies entirely within the clip volume and discards it if it lies entirely outside the volume. If part of the line segment lies in the volume and part lies outside, then the line segment is clipped and new vertex coordinates are computed for one or both vertices. A clipped line segment endpoint lies on both the original line segment and the boundary of the clip volume.
This clipping produces a value, , for each clipped vertex. If the coordinates of a clipped vertex are and the original vertices' coordinates are and , then t is given by
The value of t is used in color and texture coordinate clipping (section 2.13.8).
If the primitive is a polygon, then it is passed if every one of its edges lies entirely inside the clip volume and either clipped or discarded otherwise. Polygon clipping may cause polygon edges to be clipped, but because polygon connectivity must be maintained, these clipped edges are connected by new edges that lie along the clip volume's boundary. Thus, clipping may require the introduction of new vertices into a polygon. Edge flags are associated with these vertices so that edges introduced by clipping are flagged as boundary (edge flag TRUE), and so that original edges of the polygon that become cut off at these vertices retain their original flags.
If it happens that a polygon intersects an edge of the clip volume's boundary, then the clipped polygon must include a point on this boundary edge. This point must lie in the intersection of the boundary edge and the convex hull of the vertices of the original polygon. We impose this requirement because the polygon may not be exactly planar.
A line segment or polygon whose vertices have values of differing signs may generate multiple connected components after clipping. GL implementations are not required to handle this situation. That is, only the portion of the primitive that lies in the region of need be produced by clipping.
Primitives rendered with clip planes must satisfy a complementarity criterion. Suppose a single clip plane with coefficients (or a number of similarly specified clip planes) is enabled and a series of primitives are drawn. Next, suppose that the original clip plane is respecified with coefficients (and correspondingly for any other clip planes) and the primitives are drawn again (and the GL is otherwise in the same state). In this case, primitives must not be missing any pixels, nor may any pixels be drawn twice in regions where those primitives are cut by the clip planes.
Clipping requires at least 6 sets of plane equations (each consisting of four double-precision floating-point coefficients) and at least 6 corresponding bits indicating which of these client-defined plane equations are enabled. In the initial state, all client-defined plane equation coefficients are zero and all planes are disabled.

Franklin Health Dermatology Moving to Medical Arts Center
Medical practice will be open for business there on September 19
August 29, 2011
On September 19, Franklin Health Dermatology will be open for business in new offices on the second floor of the Franklin Health Medical Arts Center located on the Franklin Memorial Hospital campus.
The new location will better accommodate the growing number of patients seeking health care at the medical practice and provides easier access for patients to diagnostic services at the hospital. A waiting area for patients overlooks the hospital's beautiful healing garden.
According to Jill Gray, Franklin Community Health Network community relations manager, "Patients of the medical practice will soon receive a postcard informing them of the relocation."
Franklin Health Dermatology opened in 2009 as the first ever dermatology-only medical practice based in Franklin County. Lead physician Dr. Joshua Sparling is board-certified and a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology.
For appointments call 779-2410.
To reach the Medical Arts Center, patients should enter the Franklin Memorial Hospital main entrance, then take an immediate left. Follow the road approximately one-fourth mile to designated parking. Enter the building's main entrance, then take either the stairs or elevator to the second floor to enter the medical practice.

NOPD investigating March 25 van burglary
Black man observed taking a black bag out of a white van
NOPD is investigating a van burglary.
Police say the event took place March 25 at about 6 a.m. in the 1100 block of Chartres Street after the victim parked a white 2006 Volkswagen full-sized van.
Detective Ryan St. Martin retrieved video surveillance footage from a nearby residence which captured a black man opening the victim's unlocked passenger side door. The video shows the black man rummaging through the victims van for about five minutes before exiting the vehicle with a black bag.
The victim walked away northbound on Gov. Nicholls Street.
Anyone who can identify the subject in the video is asked to contact Detective Ryan St. Martin at firstname.lastname@example.com or Crimestoppers at 822-1111.

MOSCOW - An important Russian lawmaker warned the former Soviet satellite country of Georgia and NATO today (Thursday).
Alexi Pushkov, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Foreign Affairs, said Russia will react sharply and negatively if Georgia joins NATO.
Pushkov said he doesn't question Georgia's right to join to NATO, but said quote, "We have our rights too."
He said Russian support of NATO operations in Afghanistan could be jeopardized along with Russia's relations with NATO itself.
Russia and Georgia fought a brief but bloody war over sovereignty of two territories in 2008.

Are you the real taxnomore?<quoted text>
WASHINGTON (AP) The Internal Revenue Service is apologizing for what it acknowledges was
targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status.
IRS agents singled out dozens of organizations for additional reviews because they included the words
"tea party"
or "patriot"
in their exemption applications,
Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups, said Friday.
In some cases, groups were asked for lists of donors, which violates IRS policy in most cases, she said.
No conspiracy.
No cover-up.
Just standard operating procedure.

Former Fox News anchor Laurie Dhue spoke candidly before the Downtown Womens Centers fifth annual spring luncheon on Tuesday, discussing her 15-year battle with alcoholism that ended only six years ago.
During her eight-year tenure with Fox News, Dhue hosted the Fox Reports weekend edition and made frequent appearances on The OReilly Factor, Geraldo at Large, and On the Record. She left the network in 2008, one year after seeking treatment for her alcoholism.
At the luncheon, Dhue reportedly described her alcoholic years a dark mix of blackouts, an overdose and moments of sleeping in a fetal position at her office while recovering from hangovers.
She lamented how the more successful she became as a broadcast journalist, the worse her addiction became.I wasnt living life. I was merely existing. I knew how to package myself, but I couldnt look in the mirror without shame and disgust, she told the audience of her double life.
Stay tuned to Fox news for more reliable,honest and unbiased breaking news.BURRPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, already lagging in the polls, is taking heat for his claim that the states unemployment rate remains higher than the national average in part because too many of his constituents are on drugs.
There are many employers that say were looking for people but cant find anyone who has passed a drug test. Thats a concern for me, Mr. Corbett, a first-term Republican, said in an interview with PAMatters.com earlier this week.
Mr. Corbett made the comments after being questioned about his record on job creation. Despite a vibrant and growing oil and natural gas industry, Pennsylvanias unemployment rate remains stubbornly high 7.9 percent in March. The U.S. jobless rate is 7.6 percent.
A recent report from Arizona State University also alleged that Pennsylvania has slipped from seventh to 49th out of 50 states in job creation. The governor and other Republicans vehemently dispute those figures, but Democrats already are using them to bash Mr. Corbett
-- Corbett said there was massive voter fraud so voter ID laws were needed. No voter fraud ever shown. State government spends millions and creates new bureaucracy to solve non-existent problem.
-- Corbett said there was massive cheating by teachers on standardized tests which inflated test scores. Possible cheating found but never proven in 0.12% of schools.
-- Corbett said charter schools outperformed public schools. Federal government found Corbett cheated by using different rating system for charter schools and ordered the state to use the approved ratings scheme.
-- Corbett says that there is terrible waste in food assistance program by freeloaders and mandates new asset tests. New bureaucracy forces the elderly poor to declare value of their burial plots and uncovers less than 1% ineligible claims for assistance.
-- Corbett says that stoned workers are to blame for unemployment. Gives no examples, only hearsay urban myths.
-- Corbett, as atty gen for Pa, drags feet for years investigating Jerry Sandusky abuse cases while accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from Second Mile board members for his campaign for governor.
I think I'm going to rent time on a super computer somewhere to see if there might be a pattern here. Nah. Couldn't be.

#49632 May 13, 2013
Good examples. Corbett is practically determined to ruin Pennsylvania before he gets a big foot in his ass on the way out! Kathleen Kane is going to finally expose this crook for what he is, criminal! He was the PA Attorney General 3 times since 1995, and he received and ignored Sandusky complaints throughout those 3 terms. Kane will prove that what he did was criminal and it made more child victims over the course of 11 years. Corbett then, true to his modus operandi, blames the victims of his neglect for not stopping Sandusky. He sits on the PSU BOT just long enough to ensure that Freeh is brought in to divert public attention away from his willful neglect as Attorney General. Speaking of which, what kind of man is this Freeh to try and lie for Tom Corbett?

Mitt Romney tells college grads to have lots of babies:
Mitt Romneys got a solution to Republicans demographic woes. Its not to embrace immigration reform, or stop putting misogynistic nut jobs on the ballot, or pursue economic policies that would benefit groups other than rich, old, white people.
Mitt knows whereof he speaks.
No, Mitt Romneys big idea is that conservatives need to have more kids.
During a commencement address he gave this past weekend at Southern Virginia University, a predominately Mormon college, Romney urged new grads to get married young and start poppinem out.
There you have it, Mitts wise advice for people launching into adulthood: Breed early and breed often. Hey, it worked for him.
As for how youll support all those kids in a stagnant economy rigged to benefit the wealthy, Romney had no advice. And as for how the planet might support all those kids in a time of climate chaos, dwindling freshwater, and pinched food supplies come on, what are you worried about? Havent you heard of the Second Coming?

"Kirk and Sweeney was a wooden schooner, best known for smuggling rum from the Caribbean to the Northeast during the early years of Prohibition. The bottle and the raised cork were inspired by the elegantly squat 18th-century onion bottles, which typically contained rum. Playing off the concept of global navigation, an antique nautical map of the main rum smuggling route is silkscreened around the circumference of the bottle. The neck features custom hand-numbering, which speaks to the rare and precious nature of the cargo. Along with the ornate logo, the photo of the ship and the safety seal printed to look like nautical brass, the design serves as a reminder of the risk so many were willing to take for a taste of quality Carribean rum during the 1920's."

We've worked with BoB to develop a modern and distinctive brand identity, with a touch of tradition for good measure, and a label system that can adapt to an ever increasing range of amazing beers, bitters and ales. With such inspired beer names as 'BoB Shurunkel', 'BoB Erjob' and 'BoB Bidazzler', we've let the beers do the talking.

Life Lessons From a Larger
Than Life Dog (and His Owner)
by Kelly Preston and Mr. MaGoo
Soft Cover, 2011, $9.99
Also in hard cover and as an e-book
Available on Amazon or at www.realdogsdontwhisper.com
Kelly and Mr. MaGoo will donate a portion of their proceeds from the sale of this book to FACE Foundation.
Reviewed by Carol M. Upton
The statement "It's a dog's life," somehow seems to imply that all dogs are alike or share a common dog-life experience. No doubt the words of a human, as nothing could be further from the truth. What is "the truth?" you ask. Get comfortable, kids. I will share with you my vast knowledge of The Truth. But buckle up. It's bound to be a bumpy ride."
~ Mr. MaGoo
Kelly Preston believes that all creatures deserve a chance. She brings this belief to life in Real Dogs Don't Whisper, assisted by her opinionated co-author Mr. MaGoo. Through inspired storytelling, Preston invites readers to take the incredible journey that Mr. MaGoo, Carla Mae, Buffy and Betty Boop have shared with her.
Rescue animals provide uncountable blessings – love, joy, and a zest for life – but also frustration and unusual challenges. Preston had no blueprint for dealing with these special-needs dogs – one with severe neurological disorders, two from backgrounds of abuse, and one from a puppy mill. They all had unexpected lessons to teach – lessons of commitment, love, and the importance of living in the moment, which is all any of us ever have.
Preston's stories are peppered with the hilarious ramblings of Mr. MaGoo, offering his distinctly doggy perspective. He has some disdain for human behavior, tolerance for the flow of foster dogs through his home and deep affection for his sisters.
Real Dogs Don't Whisper is written in highly entertaining, conversational style, but – as Mr. MaGoo warns, be prepared. This book will also leave a dramatic and unforgettable impact on your heart.
Kelly Preston is an animal lover. Raised on a ten-acre property in Pennsylvania, she grew up with horses, rabbits, and dogs. Mr. MaGoo is a nine-year-old Lhasa Apso and the book's co-creator and co-writer. Visit Kelly at: www.realdogsdontwhisper.com
Buffy is no longer with the crew but it is clear from the photo diary and the tribute she had some fabulous days and made more than a few memories to treasure in the lives of those she touched. She had a terrific smile.

Great article and great book! I just recently took in a kitten that had its back leg amputated. I am technically a medical foster because I have the medical background, but I am also in love. She is the happiest most playful cat I have ever seen. A great tribute to the spirit of every animal (and human) with a so-called disability:)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! What is the name of your cat? You are an angel for taking her; there are so many that judge pets with limitations and do not give them a chance to shine.Delete
Wendy, thank you for publishing this and helping raise awareness for FACE
Hello! Thank you so much (both of you) for your comments -- I am glad I can share this information to help put people in touch with great stories, great support networks and some of the truly amazing people who help animals. We all benefit.Delete

Earthquake Summary
The following is a release by the United States Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center: An earthquake occurred 85 km (55 miles) SSW of Isangel, Tanna, Vanuatu, 175 km (110 miles) NE of Tadine, Loyalty Islands, New Caledonia, 275 km (170 miles) S of PORT-VILA, Efate, Vanuatu, 1800 km (1120 miles) ENE of BRISBANE, Queensland, Australia at 5:46 AM MST, Apr 9, 2008 (11:46 PM local time in Loyalty Islands). The magnitude and location may be revised when additional data and further analysis results are available. No reports of damage or casualties have been received at this time.
Tectonic Summary
The Loyalty Islands (New Hebrides arc) earthquake of April 9, 2008, occurred as the result of thrust-faulting on the boundary between the Australia plate and the New Hebrides plate. In the epicentral region of the earthquakes, the Australia plate moves east-northeast relative to the New Hebrides plate with a velocity of about 11 cm/yr. The Australia plate subducts beneath the New Hebrides plate and is seismically active to a depth of about 300 km northeast of the epicenter of the April 9 earthquake.
The New Hebrides arc region of the Australia/New Hebrides plate-boundary experiences numerous strong earthquakes. In the past quarter century, the thousand kilometer section of the arc centered on the epicenter of the April 9 earthquake has produced over 20 earthquakes of magnitude 7 or greater, the largest having magnitude 7.7.

Don't see that a common factor (in this case being English) adversely affects the credibility either of an individual or a group. Surely credibility is lost when actions or words of the individual/group are not understood by others or there is a definite wrong doing by the individual/group.

I have been running Win2k/FC8 on my first HDD (80Gb) and only FC5 on
my 2nd HDD (160Gb). MBR and Grub is on 1sr HD (sda). Things were going
smoothly until today, when I tried to boot my FC5 I got the error
"Filesystem unknown and Partition type 0x93". Grub could not load FC5.
My FC8 and Win2k are still working fine.
Using fdisk I could change the partition type to 0x83 on the 2nd HDD
(sdb) for the first 3 partitions but could not change the extended
partition, which still says unknown. See below

Tried using the install CD to see if I can fix or upgrade my 2nd HD
but I got the message that partitions are not readable and the I need
to initialize the HD causing data loss.
I have all my important data on my 2nd HDD. Can some one pl. help me

How to Attract High Quality Job Candidates
As you know, the success of your company depends largely on the talent you hire. With this in mind, it is important that you consistently attract high quality job candidates to every opening – regardless of the position.
Some companies seem to know exactly what it takes to attract the best candidate, but others consistently come up short in this department. They make bad hiring decisions which cost a lot of time and money over the long run.
Here are five ways to attract high quality candidates:
1. Spend time creating the job description. This is particularly important if you are going to post the opening in local newspapers and online job boards. A vague listing is one that will attract unqualified applicants – and that is something you want to avoid.
2. Reach out to your network. Many companies find their best talent through this strategy. Rather than post a generic ad online, they reach out to people in their network who may be interested in the position or can refer somebody who is.
Tip: LinkedIn is a great tool for not only growing your network but finding potential candidates.
3. Turn to the career department at a local college or university. This may not be something you can do with every position, but for entry level openings it makes perfect sense.
4. Keep your posting short, sweet, and to the point. This is a point of emphasis if you are advertising an opening in the newspaper, online job board, or on your company's website. Although you may be tempted to write 500+ words, this is typically a waste of time. Most people only want to know the following: job title, brief description, location, salary information (if you are willing to share), and how to apply.
5. Rely on recruiters and headhunters. Yes, you have to pay for the services of an employment placement agency. However, you are getting a lot in return. In addition to saving time, this ensures that you only interview people who are qualified for the position.
With these five tips, you will find it much easier to attract high quality job candidates.

Housing Assistance Sought for Typhoon Pepeng Victims
BAGUIO CITY – Mayor Reinaldo Bautista Jr. appealed to the National Housing Authority (NHA) to extend housing assistance to the 301 families in the city whose houses were either totally or partially damaged by typhoon "Pepeng."
"We beseech for your compassion for you to extend housing assistance to these affected families. As you very well know, Baguio City shall be experiencing the plummeting of temperature on the ensuing days and we will likewise be celebrating the holiday season, hence the urgency of our request," the mayor wrote NHS General Manager Federico Laxa.
He said providing a suitable relocation site or housing construction assistance for these victims will "allow them to start anew and shall make their hardship more bearable most especially during this Yuletide Season."
The list of the victims was collated by the city social welfare and development office under social welfare and development officer Betty Fangasan.
The mayor said the city has also rendered assistance on its own to the victims.
Based on the OCSWADO report, 28 families whose houses were totally destroyed were provided assistance of P70,000 per family under the Core Shelter Assistance Program while 301 families with partially damaged houses were awarded cash assistance ranging from P10,000 to P20,000 per family.
Relatives of the 65persons who died during the disaster were also given cash assistance worth P20,000 while the 38 injured were awarded P10,000 each.
Other assistance given were Food for Work and Cash for Work for damaged facilities which benefited 1,500 individuals at P195 each for ten days; supplemental feeding which benefitted 150 children, Financial Assistance for Balik Probinsya Program for ten families, AICs for 1500 families, Capability Builidng on Disaster Management with 300 participants and livelihood assistance which benefited 1,500 individuals. – aileen p. refuerzo

Management Consultant
It depends on whether you end up working in private industry or somewhere within the government. You may be able to sneak into a government consulting position or find work with a small company with just a bachelor''s degree, but most other employers will want you to have your master's in business, and you will really need it if you want to advance in the field. Employers want to know that you're able and willing to put up with many long years of school, as it makes it that much more likely you won't fall asleep during meetings. The top few consulting firms only recruit from the top few schools. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford. And that's about it. Maybe MIT and Cal Tech thrown in there as well. The attitude is that they are selling a very high-priced product to a client who wants to feel that the product is worth it. And the only way to maintain that price umbrella is to continue to maintain an air of exclusivity. Hence the very low representation of even very smart, talented, hard-working State School alum in the lush consulting hallways.

A man was shot late Friday night following an armed confrontation with a state police trooper in Howland.
Public Safety spokesman Steve McCausland says Dale Saucier, 36, was wounded in the shooting and was taken to a Bangor hospital, where he was undergoing emergency surgery.
The shooting took place just before midnight inside a mobile home on Water Street after Trooper Benjamin Campbell went to the home to conduct a well-being check, according to McCausland.
The state attorney general's office is investigating the shooting and Campbell has been placed on administrative leave with pay, which is standard for police shootings.

Dear Diary,
Hello! It's been awhile since we've wrote in my diary. I am getting soooo big! I am 4 1/2 months old now and a little over 3 pounds. We put some new pics up as well. I like the one with my tounge out! Its so funny! My MiMi accidentally stepped on my little paw with her heel and hurt my little toe, so that explains my blue cast. I wanted a pink one but pink is only for the bigger doggies. But anyways, I am all better now and more energetic than ever. I have learned to stay home alone. =o( I make momi feel really bad when she leaves me. I got a big puppy play yard. I really like being in it because all of my toys are in there. I got new toys too!!! I love love love my puppy kong when momi fills it with peanut butter stuffing. I don't even notice her leaving me when I have it. Anyhoot... it's about time for my nap, so goodnight dear diary.
Dear Diary,
Today I helped momi move to a new, bigger office! I''m really excited because I will have more room to run and play while momi is busy. Momi brings me to work with her because she can't leave me at home alone. I make her feel really bad by crying so loud that she can hear me from her car. I've never been left alone, but I heard MiMi tell Momi that she should start trying to leave me by myself. I really don't think that's a good idea. My Momi would never leave me alone anyway.
My momi's friend is getting a baby from the same place I came from! I hope she likes me. Her name is Sophie and she is only 6 weeks old. I'm so happy I will finally have a little friend to play with! The only other doggies I know are bigger than me. Tiger is a very big boxer, but I have him wrapped around my little toe. Lyla is a teacup poodle, but she is so jealous of me so she won't play with me. Moose is an Australian Shephard, but he's a big baby. I can scare him if I bark at him. Sophie is going home today and Momi said if I am good at work then we will go see her tonight. I think I've been pretty good today except for being a drama queen when Momi made me get in my bag to go to lunch.
We put some more pictures up, but they are kind of old. I am getting bigger every day. We just got new pictures in yesterday so Momi will have to put some of those up when we get home.
Oh well, I think we are about to go home. TTYL
Luv Emma
Dear Diary,
Today I am at work with Momi (of course, where else would I be). We were just surfing the web when we came across this really cool doggie site. We looked at some really cute doggies! Then I told Momi that I wanted to be on this website so she registered and here I am!
I have a lot more pictures that Momi will add when we get home. Momi had that picture of me with my BoBo(my big yellow bear) on her phone. BoBo is a lot bigger than me but I love to snuggle with him when I nap. I'm a little bigger now. My first trip to my doctor was June 1 and I weighed 1 lb and 10 oz. On June 13 I weighed 2 lbs 4 oz. I had to get my shots that day. I cried really loud and made my Momi feel so sorry for me. My doctor said that I am a drama queen =o).
Let me tell you a little background info on me. As you know my name is Emma Loosil (Emma). My momi named me on our way home from picking me up. She didn't want to name me until she saw me. She had so many names picked out and Emma was not one of them. Some of them were... LooSee, Pixi, Blondie, Laika, Punki, Killa. But on our long trip home Natchez to Baton Rouge, momi came up with Emma and my Mimi and Popi really liked that name. She says I looked so sweet and innocent she couldn't possible name me Killa or Punki. Boy was she wrong!! ;o)
I am a Maltipoo(Maltese-Poodle). I have a very big family that loves me so much! My momi is 20 and I am her very first baby. I am also the very first grand child and great-grand child! I am very very spoiled! My momi's mom is my MiMi and her step-daddy is my Popi. Her daddy is my PawPaw and her step-mom is my Grama. Then I have Aunt Shelby and Uncle Colt (Momi's sister and brother). Momi's Aunt Nikki is my Nik-Nik and her 3 babies are my favorite cousins because they love to play with me.

New website shows local health care by numbers
As of June 2012, there were 30,835 registered nurses and 10,190 medical doctors working in San Diego County. These facts, and many others about how health care breaks down in the region and across the state, are available at a new website launched Monday by the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development.
The new site contains fact sheets on much more than just the raw numbers of health care workers in California. Users can drill down to specific medical specialties, from anesthesiology to surgery, in specific counties or throughout the state. Information is also available on the age, sex, ethnicity and other demographics of health care workers.
The information, according to a statement released by the state, will be useful in meeting the increased health care demands expected to occur as health care reform increases the number of Californians with health insurance.
"Accurate information on the health workforce will be vitally important as we plan to meet California's future health care needs," said OSHPD director Robert P. David.

A wide range of three-row SUVs can handle the task of towing 6,000 pounds. This is about the capacity where you can cross off car-based SUVs from your list and look at heavier-duty machines. One of the more recent introductions that fit your requirements is the all-new 2011 Dodge Durango, which can tow up to 6,200 pounds with a V-6, 7,400 pounds with the optional V-8, and it has three rows standard.
A third row is standard on most of the models listed at the bottom, but it's optional on a few, including the BMW X5 and Land Rover LR4.
To reach the maximum towing capacity, you'll need to opt for upgraded engines in some models, like the V-8 in the Durango. The highest ratings may require optional trailering equipment with additional oil coolers, trailer bar, trailer hitch and wiring harness. To see the full breakdown of towing capacity for the models below, as well as pricing, check out the Standard Equip. & Specs section for each SUV here.
