Density is a crucial variable in forest and wood science, but gravimetric methods of measurement are mostly destructive and time-consuming. De Ridder et al. derive profiles of wood density variations for the African species Terminalia superba with a resolution of approx. 50 µm from resistance drillings, neutron and X-ray scans. They find that high-resolution X-ray-computed tomography is a very promising technique for microdensitometry of wood cores.

All stars start tournaments
ANACORTES Sometimes it seems no matter how hard you hit the ball it goes right to the defense.
Just ask the North Whidbey Little League Junior All-Star baseball team, which opened the District 11 tournament with a 12-2, six-inning loss, to South Whidbey on Thursday night.
We just didnt get the breaks with runners on, head coach Ryan Millus said. We hit the ball right at people.
Things started off on a positive note for Oak Harbors top 13-14 year-old Little League players, however, as they took the games initial lead.
In the top of the first North Whidbey earned back-to-back walks from number two and three hitters, Adrian Richards and Kian Mebane.
Richards, who stole third base, came around to score NWLLs first run when the throw from South Whidbeys catcher sailed past third into left field. Number-four hitter, Cody Herman followed by crushing an RBI double all the way to the left field wall, making the score 2-0.
In the first inning we came out and got two on and stuck to the game plan, Millus said. Cody also had a heck of a hit.
Unfortunately for North Whidbey, thats where its offense ended and where it began for South Whidbey.
SWLL generated four runs on four hits, two errors and one walk in its half of the first and never looked back.
After a slight struggle in the first inning North Whidbey starter Mason Fakkema calmed down over his next three innings, allowing just one more run.
Trailing 5-2 in the fifth, things took a bad turn for NWLL. South Whidbey, which was unable to hit NWLL relief pitcher Adrian Richards earlier in the season, found their groove on Thursday. They gathered four consecutive hits with one intentional walk to start the inning, putting four more runs on the board.
I pitched a kid that South Whidbey had its problems with all season long and tonight was their night, they had his number, Millus said.
South Whidbey tacked on three more runs in the fifth and sixth off of two other relief pitchers, ending the game via the 10-run rule in the sixth.
North Whidbey moved into the losers bracket last night, where they faced Burlington. One more loss and they are out of the tournament, which continues at Volunteer Park in Anacortes until July 13.
You go up through the losers bracket and theres a lot more pressure, Millus said. Luckily for us these guys do a lot better under pressure.
All other local NWLL and Central Whidbey Little League baseball and softball teams either have started their tournaments, or will begin them next week.
Junior softball
North Whidbey Little Leagues Junior softball team won its first game of the District 11 tournament, 14-4 over Sedro-Woolley on Wednesday night.
The Oak Harbor team was led by starting pitcher Kayla Ratliff and the timely hitting of Lauren Miller, Anna Skurdull and Ratliff .
North Whidbey played South Skagit last night. The District 11 softball tournament continues through July 13 in Anacortes.

Sports Awards and Banquet postponed
The 2013 Red Deer Community Sports Awards and Banquet has been postponed because of a lack of nominations.
Set for Feb. 24, the banquet will now take place on April 21 at the Sheraton Red Deer Hotel. Nominations will be accepted until March 25.
Rob Meckling, the city community and program facilitator for sport, said no nominations were received in some categories, including those reserved for masters athletes, officials, lifetime achievement and business contributor of the year, among others.
Youth athlete categories were also under represented with only half a dozen nominations in each, compared with around 20 in past years.
Meckling said they know there are many more athletes and supporters out there worthy of recognition so they decided to give people more time to submit nominations.
"It's important to do the event correctly," he said.
"We want this to be a gala, a great celebration of support in this community."
Sport Council of Red Deer members have already been going out to local sporting events to deliver packages and encourage groups to take another look at some of their standout achievements and contributors.
Meckling said the event has been building in recent years, but an earlier nomination deadline and banquet date this year may have been factors in reducing the number of nominations.
"I think maybe just our short time frame coming out of the Christmas break may have had something to do with it," he said, adding for most winter sports it's mid-season and the focus is on upcoming championships.
Last year, the event was in March, and the year before it was April.
Some groups also cited changes in their organizations for letting the nominations slip under their radar.
Local residents can nominate a coach, official, volunteer, athlete or business supporter at www.scord.ca. Nominations made to date do not have to be re-submitted.
Beckie Scott, who won gold and silver Olympic medals as well as 17 World Cup medals in her cross-country ski career, will be keynote speaker.

Favorite Films of 2012
2012 was a solid year for movies! Unlike last year, we got a full spectrum of movies, ranging from very good to truly great. 2010 was back-heavy (a horrible first half that year), but 2012 was pretty well stocked throughout the year, with great films peppered into even the doldrums of the year. Most years, I have difficulty filling the top 10 list. This year was also difficult, but only because I had too many movies that I wanted to sneak in...
The notion of finding a theme for the year in movies is perhaps unfair. It's an attempt to condense the irreducible, but sometimes it can happen. 2010 had a clear theme of questioning reality, but 2011 was less cohesive. I am seeing something in 2012 though, and I think it could be best summarized by "the search for truth". At least half of my top 10 fits that mold pretty well, and I could arguably include a few others, not to mention some of the honorable mentions. Some films are literally about a search (Zero Dark Thirty, Searching for Sugar Man), others feature a more metaphorical search for truth, such as the search for perfection (a word that could easily be substituted for truth) in Jiro Dreams of Sushi or the argumentative system of law in A Separation. You can come up with other forms of this theme, like objective reality versus subjective reality, or maybe science versus faith, and all would be pretty well representative of the year, even for bad movies like Prometheus (sorry, had to get in another dig)! Of course, that may just be because this is a pretty universal theme, but hey, work with me here.
As of this writing, I have seen 72 movies that would be considered a 2012 release. This is a distinct step down from the past few years, though perhaps the quality of this year's crop means that I didn't have to search as long and hard to fill out the below list. Is that a good thing? Who knows! In recent years, I've certainly been gravitating more towards making this a list of my favorite films, rather than some sort of "objective" list of "best" films (and thus that search for truth rears its head again, this time in a meta-context). I guess that's a disclaimer of sorts, but in all honesty, my list of "favorite" films is more distinct and thus probably much more interesting than any sort of "objective" list. There were certainly films that I have a lot of respect for, but just could not connect with on a personal level, for whatever reason. They don't appear below, though maybe I'll reinstitute the conspicuously absent category. Anywho, that's enough by way of introduction, let's get this party started:
Top 10 Movies of 2012
* In roughly reverse order
* In alphabetical order
But still worthwhile, in their own way. Presented without comment and in no particular order:
Despite the fact that I've seen 72 of this year's movies (and that this post features 30+ of my favorites), there were a few that got away... mostly because I'm lazy! Or something wasn't available yet. Take your pick. I may or may not catch up with some of these...
Update: Uh oh! It looks like I miscounted and put 11 movies on my top 10. Dammit, I had a hard enough time narrowing down to 11! Let's just call two of them a tie. Or something.

When the firm of Meadows, Meade & Grindley hires Dougal Douglas (a.k.a. Douglas Dougal) to do "human research" into the private lives of its workforce, they are in no way prepared for the mayhem, mutiny, and murder he will stir up. In fact, this Music Man of the thoroughly modern corporation changes the lives of all the eccentric characters he meets, from Miss Merle Coverdale, head of the typing pool, to V.R. Druce, unsuspecting Managing Director.
This is Dame Muriel Spark at her most devilishly piquant.
©1960 Muriel Spark; (P)1996 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"We are never out of touch, in a Spark novel, with the happiness of creation; the sudden willful largesse of magic and wit, the cunning tautness of suspense." (John Updike, The New Yorker)
"Not only funny but startlingly original, the legendary character of Dougal Douglas....may not have been boasting when he referred so blithely to his association with the devil." (Washington Post)
I've really liked some other books by Muriel Spark (Prime of Miss Jean Brodie; Loitering With Intent; Memento Mori) but this one is quite different and I stopped listening after about the first hour. Very unpleasant characters that I didn't want to spend time on. Maybe the book was going somewhere but I couldn't really tell and couldn't be bothered to find out. The narration was good but perhaps a bit heavy on the accents, almost sounded like caricatures.
"Great performance of a fantastic novel."
Absolutely - this novel is one of my favourites, and the performance certainly did it justice.

An iconic, near saintly, pop singer dies suddenly, tragically in an inexplicable fire. She's only the first victim in a series of similar, unspeakable deaths.
Bernadette Callahan is an investigator at a shadowy government organization. She's on the trail of a serial killer with ungodly means of disposal.
Religious historian Sebastian LaLaurie knows that the crimes are more than the work of a psychopath, and that Bernadette is closing in on something she never bargained for.
Now Sebastian must convince Bernadette to believe—in the power of fallen angels in disguise. In the ancient clues of the Bible. In the hellfire of a coming apocalypse. In the prophecies of Paradise Lost. And ultimately, in the unholy conspiracy upon them, one far beyond the scope of mankind's darkest imagination. And one that no human can stop.

Here, we'll keep track of the Town Meeting Talk Show dialogue on dealing with our junk, trash, and treasures.
Here's what City Council has asked us to consider:
(a) On the one hand, we have citizens who believe trashy yards are an eyesore, and that it's not fair for some property owners to undermine the overall look of the town. Further, there's a risk of "junky" yards lowering the property value of adjoining lots. For example, a homeowner trying to sell their house might lose sales for no other reason than the prospective buyer doesn't want to live next to a dump.
(b) On the other hand, we have the rights of property owners to keep their property in a manner that they desire. What one person considers junk may have value or meaning to the owner of said "junk". Why should the government, or other people, be telling us how we can or can't maintain our own property?
Given that many in our community have chosen to raise a stink when council "makes decisions without consulting 'the people'", it would be disappointing to this reporter to see council ask 'the people", and for "the people" to remain silent and/or disinterested. So we encourage you to weigh in somehow -- on the show, at council meetings, at city hall... something -- because if they ask for our help and we say nothing, then we have no business being surprised if they choose (on down the road) to act as our representatives without begging for public opinion.
For the purposes of efficiency, we will refer to a "Trash or Treasure Yards" as a "TTY"

Updated 6/19/06, 7:17pm
-- The city should assess any risks in a TTY, such as hazardous materials, chemicals, or anything that could injure a guest, emergency personnel, law enforcement, etc. Property owners have liability if someone is injured as a result of items on their property.
-- "Junk" items like old cars, toilet seats, bathtubs, net piles, and so on, should be arranged in such a way as to appear to have been put there "on purpose". Don't just dump the stuff in a way that makes it look careless; rather, try to set it up in such a way that it looks like it's there for a reason (decoration, sentimental value, whatever).
-- A good way to hold on to "junk" without it interfering with the quality of life of neighbors & community members might be a requirement to fence it in or tarp it (with a quality tarp, not a raggedy one).
-- Property owners should seriously consider building at least a simple
structure out of wood or something to contain their trash cans. This
keeps the animals and wind out, so that trash doesn't get blown around
one's property (trash that may not subsequently get picked up by the property
-- Jack up the littering fines and enforce them
-- Organize community volunteer groups for adopt-a-block, or something similar. These groups would care for a defined area in the interest of helping maintain a cleaner town.
-- Bring back the paid cleanup crews. We used to have teens would be hired for keeping things clean. There may be grants out there for this.
-- Assign clean up tasks to those convicted of crimes and sentenced
to community service.
I was thinking that it would possibly be a good idea to maybe have a
clean up day in the Fall in
order to prevent trash from being buried in the winter. It would help out for sure.
As far as property concerns.......some citys in the real world have
made it a rule to have your yards
fenced in if they are unpresentable. Just food for thought.
-- It's such a shame that we have clean up day, and then everything is a mess again in just a few weeks. It's very disheartening.
-- We should find out how other towns deal with this problem -- maybe
they have good ideas that we could adopt.
Good morning JR.
I would like to pipe in on the subject that you just brought up from city council's interest in pursuing management of "sloppy property". I whole heartedly agree with Scott Hahn on this matter, we need to tread carefully and think this one through before taking action. As you said, what is one person's trash is another person's treasure. What are they looking at as criteria for when management should step in and do something about it? Is it an ugly boat sitting in the yard ( ;-) ), or someone using a spare tire as a planter, or just plain old rif raf sitting out because the property owner does not have a building to store it in? In Cordova we come across alot of these scenarios and most of the time I find fellow Cordovans [embracing] our differences of lifestyle. We have people who like to hang numerous buoys all over the exterior of their house, who am I to say that can't happen. Also, we have people who are very [partial] to their old (what I would deem junker) cars but why should their neighbor be able to say that they don't want them around anymore? And yes, this is a fishing community and we do have alot of "stuff", okay junk, that you can find in all neighborhoods that may not be aesthetically pleasing but its a fact of life.
By the way, I am noticing everywhere I go that the Cordova Cleanup really made a positive difference as it does every year. That is such a wonderful way to offer an option to people that may want to part with their "trash" without over stepping boundaries. It sounds like lots of people took advantage of that and got their places cleaned up to their liking. Thank you to everyone who helped out with that, you did wonderful work!
I would like to give my two cents on the trashy yards topic that is being discussed.
I really would like to see Cordova completely cleaned up too but I really think that we need to tread very carefully about imposing regulations on what we can put on personal property. "Presentable" and "Eye Sore" could be defined differently from one person to another. What my neighbor may see as an ugly trailer, to me is a useful and needed item. I will admit that it is indeed rusty and not very pretty to look at but it is something I need.
I think (or at least I hope) that most Cordovans would agree that we are against littering. What I think is more of a controversial issue is having your own items on your personal property and it seems like that is what is being discussed at meetings. I would like to reiterate the "One man's trash is another man's treasure" idea. We all look at things differently, even art. Setting these criteria and guidelines is going to be difficult to say the least. I do hope that, if it goes through, they do set loose guidelines for it. We are a fishing community and it could potentially be a hardship to many people if we impose a blatant no clutter type rule. I'm sure some of my non fisher people neighbors do not understand my need to store tarped nets but to me it is very necessary. I wish there was a way I could spruce them up a little, maybe I will have to get creative. ;-
Thanks for your time with this.
I would invite the Council or any one else to drive down the 6.5 mile
road and see at least 4 junk yards in the 1st 12 residents. Im not writing
about fishing equipment but old junk cars and scraps of metal piled up,
buildings falling down, buildings build out of tarps and the list goes
on. What does this do to the property values of residents that keep up
their property? Especially with in the 1st * mile a person sees this and
sets the tone for the whole area.
Head comments during a stay in Anchorage that they had heard Cordova
was a really dirty town. Beautiful scenery, but hard to enjoy it
when you have to look at all the trash and dog dump on the sidewalks and
along the roads
Caller just returned to Alaska after spending several years in Finland, and noted that the Finns just have an automatic cleanliness "instinct". If they see trash, they simply pick it up. There's nothing in their cultural mindset that says "It's not my mess, so I'm gonna just leave it here and complain to someone who'll send someone to clean it up." Finns just have "clean" built into their lifestyle.
Caller suggested that the deal with people's personal property will be very tough when balancing against people's rights.
Caller suggested that city cleanup efforts could be broken down into
smaller parts in order to make them less overwhelming. For example,
in one month, the city has a day that they accept old batteries, and we
get rid of all of those. maybe the next month, there's a day for
hazardous materials. Maybe the next month it's junk cars. The
point is to focus on one thing at a time, pick a date, promote that date
heavily to give citizens a chance to prepare their materials, and then
deal with that specific material in one focused event.
Hey J.R.
As an owner of a "trashy" looking place, I'd like to give some insite. When we acquired out property in 1986, there were 55 vehicles/boats/camper, etc. My husband hauled them away when the garbage barge came to Cordova. Since that time, we've had dear friends ask," Could we just leave our boat and/or vehicle at your place just for the winter, because there's no place to put it. Sure enough, we have ended up with abandoned vehicles and boats.
Our problem is disposing of these eyesores. I would suggest that the City garbage/bailar make it easier to dispose of vehicles, refrigerators, old boats etc. We tried to get rid of some stuff this year, but there was no room at the dump. Also, we can't afford to pay for each vehicle abandoned. I would suggest a campaign by the City to clean up these eyesores. If it were advertised that on certain dates we could have them picked up---for free---then perhaps people would take advantage of it. Not just on clean up day, but perhaps once a month on certain days.
Just a thought from a person who wants to get rid of the junk as much
as everybody else!

Microbes and Me at the Bloomsbury Festival
25 October 2013
Staff and research students from UCL Eastman Dental Institute took part in last week's Bloomsbury Festival, giving the public an insight into the world of microbiology.
The Bloomsbury Festival this year ran 15-20 October, drawing tens of thousands of people to celebrate the area of central London that UCL calls home. On the Saturday, the Institute set up in Russell Square, a ten minute walk from its facilities on Gray's Inn Road.
Led by Dr Dave Spratt and Dr Derren Ready from the Institute's department of Microbial Diseases, a team of staff and students provided an interactive exhibition entitled Microbes and Me in which participants could assess the cleanliness of their hands and see the effects of handshaking upon infection transmission.
Children had the chance to design their own bugs, making a colourful pencil-top decoration out of craft materials to represent a microbe. Each attribute was discussed in the context of how microbes use them, e.g.'tails' (flagella) for swimming and 'eyes' (receptors) for seeing.
On behalf of the Institute and its charity EFFORT, the day was part of a commitment to engage with the general public, beyond the scientific community. The well-attended and received event was an opportunity to inspire and inform children and adults alike by explaining the work that takes place at the Institute and the benefits that it brings to individuals and society.

I'm making the transition from 100% zone diet to eating cleaner, more primal with fewer carbs than the zone suggests and I'm still learning what is considered primal (aka "Skinning the zone"). I apologize that I confused you more. Seems that primal tends to be much more protein/fat with fewer carbs than say the zone (more carbs, but definitely not sugars, pastas, etc) I pulled that recipe from a zone recipe list so it would give you an estimate to how much fat to have with your size salad.
I just started on the forum last night and it seemed that most of the threads were questions about how much protein, how much fat, etc should be eaten. By starting on the zone, it was very helpful to me (I know everyone is different) at learning proportion sizes of each protein, fat and carb. Now I loosely follow zone guidelines leaning more towards less carbs (about 1/2) and more fat (about 4x) because it was a lot of food, protein and fat are much tastier, and I wanted to tinker because I felt I had hit a lull in my performance by just following the zone (without dairy).
So for your size salad and to lose weight, I would say 1.5 to 2 teaspoons olive oil and 2 teaspoons vinegar. By zone standards (which I lost 25lbs on) that is 4-5 parts protein and 4-5 parts fat with about two parts carbs. The small apple would add another 2-3 part carbs. So if you had the apple to the salad you listed above, it would be a pretty darn balanced zone meal. And quite tasty.
I hoped this helped and I hope I'm not stepping on toes here. I just trying to learn from other here and help others in return by using the experiences I've seen with myself or friends.

Three miles southeast of the town is Sandy Beach Park. Besides being a great place to discover tide pools and watch birds, it is also the site of ancient native Alaskan petroglyphs and remnants of prehistoric fish traps. These traps, best seen during low tide, forced salmon into channels where they would become trapped once the waters rose.
Set sail with a 30-year Alaska resident who is anxious to introduce Whale Song Cruise guests to the spectacular sights of what many say is the most beautiful part of Southeast Alaska. You'll cruise and fish the same waters as Tlingit natives did centuries ago and sail through ice-fields from which Norwegian immigrants gathered glacier ice to prepare their fish for shipment. You'll pass by massive stands of spruce, hemlock and cedar forests that are circled by eagles, ravens, seagulls and all types of shore birds. Humpback and orca whales will frolic with porpoises and sea lions will be plentiful.
Exploring the town on foot is a great way to sample the local culture. Wander along the boardwalks of Hammer Slough then head toward Sing Lee Alley's specialty shops and cafes. Nearby is Bojer Wikan Fisherman's Memorial Park, where there is a monument dedicated to those lost at sea and a replica of a Norwegian Viking ship.
Petersburg's central location in the heart of southeast Alaska's Inside Passage provides spectacular flightseeing tours over the many glaciers located just outside of the remote Alaskan town. Kupreanof Flying Service has been offering glacier tours in the beautiful Alaska Wilderness setting for many years. Butch's local knowledge and experience provides an authentic insight of the people, their culture and the spirit of Petersburg. Harbor seals choose LeConte's protected water and abundant icebergs as a breeding, birthing and rearing area. Remember not to disturb these little ones. Abandonment of a young pup by its mother is a common occurrence, particularly if they are disturbed by hunting or other activities by humans.

If you shop at Reid's or Harveys, the new owner of those grocery chains claims they are going to stay independent and not much will change.
Behind the scenes, the owner will switch from Food Lion to Bi-Lo. Reid's is located in Aiken County. There's a Harveys in Burke County.
On Memorial Day, Bi-Lo Holdings announced that it would buy those chains (along with Sweetbay, which you'll find in Florida) for $265 million in cash – no extreme couponing involved – from Delhaize Group, which is the parent company for Food Lion.

Alli seems to be back in the good graces of the accounting department at GlaxoSmithKline.
The weight-loss drug, which is made in Aiken, was a drag on Glaxo's books last year because of supply chain problems.
There was a three-month manufacturing freeze because Swiss drug company Roche could not provide the active ingredient – orlisat – because of quality problems in a different South Carolina facility. As supplies of Alli dwindled, Glaxo said it didn't sell a single pill to pharmacies or retailers for three months.

When International Paper shut down one of its three paperboard machines at the end of February, it eliminated 75 positions from its payroll.
Officials for the company say they were able to accommodate the job reduction without forced layoffs.
There were retirements and transfers to other parts of the plant. IP also offered "enhanced" voluntary severance packages.
After the downsizing, IP still has 740 workers making paperboard in south Augusta.

Help Wanted: There are going to be 2,500 job openings in Aiken County. And there might be no one to fill them.
On Friday morning, the Economic Development Partnership released the results of a workforce study at a summit designed to correct the coming problems.
There was a silver lining in the Great Recession. It delayed retirements. Well, those retirements are coming.
There are 6,400 workers age 55 and older who will retire between now and 2017. There are only 3,900 people between the ages of 15 and 19 to replace them.

Amazing IVF Story: Baby Born from Single Frozen Spermmelissaejordan
I have said WOW about a thousand times while reading this story about a couple whose chances of having a baby of their own were slim to none. The Schiraldi's, a healthy couple in the their early thirties, tried to get pregnant for two years before discovering that the husband, Jason, had no sperm after a testicular biopsy.
Whereas most men have millions of viable sperm, the lab was only able to locate one living sperm in his sample. They froze the single sperm in the hopes of utilizing it for the couple. Soon after, they implanted it into one of Jason's wife, Jennifer's eggs. The chances of it dividing and growing into a healthy embryo was very small (most IVF efforts fertilize a dozen or more eggs in the hopes of having a few healthy embryo available for implantation. Many never divide at all).
Their one healthy embryo was implanted and 10 months later, their daughter Kenley Karlin was born in mid-April! I think it's truly amazing when modern technology is able to give people like the Schiraldi's a chance to experience the beauty of parenthood. They truly have a miracle baby to show for it!

Baking here in NW Vermont
Howdy! My name is Sharon and I live with my husband and a variety of animals here on our homestead, about 8 miles from the Canadian border. Every year at this time I get the urge to bake and always wonder why I don't do it all year. Anyway, I made hamburger buns tonight and they came out really well. The cookbook the recipe came from is Small Breads by Bernard Clayton. Yesterday I bought some homemade English muffins, but they weren't authentic. I think that is what switched on my baking bug. Started looking through Small Breads for a recipe and then decided to make the hamburger buns. Now I'm off running. Tomorrow I will make English Muffins and Bagels, too. :-)
I'm fortunate in that I gather my own eggs, use butter that I make, know that raw milk needs to be scalded first, have honey from my own hive and can use a varitey of ingredients that I have grown myself or are grown within 10 miles from here.
Glad to find this site, the pictures are awesome and it is nice to find somebody who actually approaches bread baking from a logical point of view. If truth be told, I am a retired chef, but never did well baking. Recipes are suggestions, but baking is chemistry.
Hope to get to know you.

There's a bit of confusion in the way worms
are classified. One (logical) way to define
them is the way that Stuart Staniford of
The Worm Information Center does.
I've separated worms into system worms and
email worms at times, which corresponds to
the two definitions above. In other words,
in the past (and at places in this website)
I've called self mailing email code a worm
while Staniford calls it a virus. He calls
it that because a human must decide to open
the attachment. You can take your pick of
what to call them. I'm beginning to like
his definitions in some contexts though.
I guess I could have called them worm-like
The worm writer launches the worm by attaching
it to an enticing email message and sending
it to a bunch of addresses -- probably via
a computer that lets him hide his real address.
A few of the fools that receive the message
open the attachment. The attachment contains
malicious code that, for example, installs
a Trojan-horse.
Next, the code plunders the victim's address
book, picking both "From:" and
"To:" addresses at random. Using
these addresses, the worm emails itself from
the computer, often using its own built-in
email program.
This cycle repeats itself until there are
millions of these worms unleashed around
the world via the Internet. Eventually people
wake up, the worm is contained (but often
never goes completely away) and finally becomes
yesterday's worm. By this time several new
worms have been launched.
If your address happens to be in the victim's
address book, one or more of the messages
may appear to come from you. You may eventually
get an irate reply from someone who thinks
you sent them the worm that infected their
Common sense is the best defense against
email worms because they rely on deception for propagation. Antivirus and anti-malware software are good for backup defense against
email worms. They are fairly useless during
the early days of a scanning worm attack,
because there hasn't been time to update
their malware signature files.
Excerpt from one of Brian Livingston's newsletters that illustrates the chaos, confusion and
consternation that Internet worms cause:
SEPTEMBER 3, 2003 - Issue 13
You can't trust that From line
The continuing rampage of the SoBig virus,
the most widespread e-mail virus in history,
has already resulted in more than 100 million
bogus messages being sent around the world,
according to security experts. SoBig, like
many viruses, reads through people's e-mail
address books. It then inserts random addresses
into the From line of each outgoing message
to make it appear to be coming from a person
that it's not.
I was horrified when I realized that PC users
might receive bogus e-mail messages that
appeared to be sent from me. Because I'm
in so many people's address books, at the
height of the attack I myself was receiving
more than 500 copies of SoBig messages a
day. I easily filtered these out without
harm, but I could see that one of my BrianLivingston.com
addresses had received a virus that had supposedly
been sent from one of my own BriansBuzz.com
addresses! (It hadn't been.)
If you ever receive a virus or a piece of
spam that claims to have been sent from one
of my addresses, please don't assume it had
anything to do with me. My privacy guarantee
assures you that I'll never sell, trade,
or give away your address or use it for any
purpose other than sending newsletter updates.
But I can't stop viruses from impersonating
my address or anyone else's. To my readers'
credit, no one has ever written to accuse
me of sending this junk, even though (by
chance) many, many people must have seen
my return address on a bogus message. I appreciate
your understanding, if this ever happens
to you. --Brian Livingston

Thursday will be the anniversary of the killing of Police Officer Gary Skerski, who was shot to death May 8, 2006, when he responded to a holdup at a bar in Northeast Philadelphia.
There may be a certain irony in the fact that Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski was shot to death Saturday, five days before that date, while responding to the robbery of a bank.
Liczbinski became the third Philadelphia police officer shot to death in the line of duty in the last two years.

Key Stats: RHP Brad Boxberger 1.2IP, H, 2Ks; RF Sawyer Carroll 3-3, 2B, 2 RBI, BB; LF Blake Tekotte 1-4, HR (8), RBI.
SALT LAKE CITYThe Tucson Padres eliminated Salt Lake from playoff contention Wednesday, by defeating the Bees 6-4 at Spring Mobile Ballpark. The Padres have won three straight games and are on a six-game road win streak dating back to August 19.
Tucson jumped ahead in The Opening inning with three runs. Andy Parrino brought home the first run with a RBI single to right field and Anthony Contreras scored on a double play for the second. Sawyer Carroll lined a single to center field to bring home Parrino for a 3-0 Padres lead. The Bees responded with a run of their own in the bottom half of the first on an RBI single by Efren Navarro. Blake Tekotte led off the second inning with his eighth home run of the season over the right field wall. Salt Lake answered with two runs in the bottom of the second to make the score 4-3 Tucson.
Jesus Merchan increased the Padres lead to 5-3 in the third by scoring Vince Belnome on a sacrifice fly to left field. Tucson received another run in the fifth on Carroll's RBI double to center field. Carroll finished the night with three hits and two RBIs. Salt Lake's Matt Long singled to center field in the bottom of the sixth to score Doug Deeds and bring the Bees within two of Tucson.
Jason Ray picked up his second save for the Padres by pitching a scoreless ninth inning. Thad Weber won his first game with Tucson, going 5.1 innings, yielding eight hits and four runs. Matt Shoemaker took the loss for Salt Lake, surrendering 11 hits and four earned runs in seven innings of work.

San Antonio Missions 4 – Midland Rockhounds 5
Key Stats: RHP Keyvius Sampson 5IP, 6H, 4ER, BB, 6Ks; RHP Alexis Lara 2 IP, H, K; RF Rymer Liriano 1-4, 2B, RS, RBI; LF Jon Galvez 1-4, HR (6), 2 RBI.
Keyvius Sampson had a problem getting the third out, and it cost him. The Rockhounds scored all five of their runs with two outs as the Missions fell 5-4. While Midland with 3-5 with runners in scoring position, the Missions were not as lucky going 1-8.
Former first round pick Sonny Gray would bend constantly giving up 4 hits all for extra bases, but was able to pitch out of a jam each time.
Lake Elsinore Storm 6 – San Jose Giants 5 (11 innings)
Key Stats: Joe Thatcher 1 IP, 1 K; RHP Matt Branham 6.1IP, 9H, 4ER, 2BB, 5Ks; 2B Corey Spangenberg 2-4, 2 RS, RBI; SS Casey McElroy 2-5, RS.
An INTENSE game in Lake Elsinore. The Storm build up a 3-0 lead, and Branham, who started in the second inning after Thatcher pitched the obligatory major league rehab first inning, cruised through his first five innings of work. Then it went downhill.
Branham allowed two runs in the seventh and the eighth innings as the 3-0 lead turned into a 4-3 deficit.
In the ninth Corey Spangenberg and Everett Williams would hit back to back singles to put runners on first and second with one out. Pinch-hitter Donavan Tate didn't show why he was the #3 overall pick in 2009 by grounding into a would be 6-4-3 game ending double play. However a great hard slide by Williams into second base caused an errant throw to first as Spangenberg scored and the game went into extra innings.
Ryan Quigley would try to give the game to San Jose by walking a batter in the eleventh, throwing the ball away on a pickoff attempt and then compounding the problem by committing another throwing error to allow the run to score.
The Storm came back once again on a pair of back-to-back one out singles and once again an error by the opposition's middle infielder allowed the tying run to score.
The difference this time was Jairo Gomez would come up with the walk off single as the Storm won 6-5, to climb within two games of the final playoff spot with five games left to play.
Fort Wayne TinCaps 0 – Western Michigan WhiteCaps 1
Key Stats: RHP James Needy 9IP, 4H, R, 0ER, 0BB, 5Ks. Three singles by Jankowski, Jones, and Gaedale. Three errors by Peterson, Needy, Hedges
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – With playoff implications looming large at Parkview Field on Wednesday night the Fort Wayne TinCaps offense was blanked, as West Michigan picked up a 1-0 victory. Fort Wayne starter James Needy threw all nine innings and did not allow an earned run as he worked his way into the TinCaps record books.
West Michigan (34-31, 70-65) scored the game's only run in the top half of the second inning. Lance Durham reached base on a one-out infield single and advanced to second on a Pat Leyland single to right field. After Needy (6-3) recorded another out, he induced a grounder to short off the bat of Gabriel Purroy. Fort Wayne (35-30, 66-69) shortstop Jace Peterson fielded the ball but threw over the head of first baseman Travis Whitmore, which allowed Durham to score from second base. Needy only allowed one hit the remainder of the game.
The TinCaps could not solve Whitecaps starter Wilsen Palacios (12-9), scraping together two hits against the righty. Reliever Chad Smith retired the side in order the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. Jade Todd faced three batters in the ninth, leaving the game with two outs and Yeison Asencio at first base. Mike Gallic, representing the winning run, pinch hit for Travis Whitmore, but grounded out against righthander Melvin Mercedes, which ended the game.
With Needy's effort, he becomes the first starting pitcher in TinCaps history to throw nine innings in a single game. The last time that took place was July 17, 2007, as Stephen Faris hurled nine innings of one-hit baseball in a 12-0 win over the Clinton Lumber Kings at Memorial Stadium.
Elsewhere in the league Lake County defeated Bowling Green, which puts the Captains one game in front of the TinCaps with five to play in the regular season. West Michigan trails Fort Wayne by one game.

Spokane Indians 2 – Eugene Ems 8
Key Stats: RHP Tayron Guerrero 4IP, 2H, 5BB, 2Ks; SS Stephen Carmon 2-3, 3 RS, 2 BB; LF Jeremy Baltz 3-4, 2B, 2 RS, 3 RBI; 2B Maxx Tissenbaum 3-3, 2B, 3 RBI, BB.
Eugene scored three runs in the first and four runs in the second and cruised to an easy 8-2 win. Unfortunately Vancouver also won, as the Ems remain a ½ game up now with only two games left to play
AZL Rangers 5 – AZL Padres 11
Key Stats: RHP Chris Wilkes 5IP, 8H, 3R, 2ER, 0BB, 5Ks; 1B Luis Tejada 4-5, 2B, RS, 2 RBI; DH Anthony Renteria 2-3, HR (3), 4 RS, 2 RBI, BB.

The Girl Scouts of Colorado released a statement Thursday supporting the inclusion of transgendered girls in its youth programs. The scouts responded to a female-identifying 7-year-old who was denied enrollment in a Colorado troop because she is biologically male.
"Girl Scouts is an inclusive organization, and we accept all girls in kindergarten through 12th grade as members," the statement says. "If a child identifies as a girl, and the child's family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout."
WW called Sarah Miller, director of communications with Girl Scouts of Oregon and SW Washington, for a response to Colorado's statement.
"At this time we don't have a stated policy for children," Miller said. "But I'm glad, in a way, that this has come to the forefront because it gives us a starting point for an actual stated policy on this in our organization."
Miller says that Girl Scouts of Oregon and SW Washington plans to engage Portland agencies that serve transgendered youth as it considers the issue.
Girl Scouts of the USA does have an official position.
"Acceptance of transgender youth is handled on a case-by-case basis," the organization says on its website, "with the welfare and best interests of the child in question as a top priority."
According to Miller, there has not yet been an instance of a transgendered girl asking to join a group in Oregon or SW Washington. "At least not to our knowledge," she says. "And while there isn't a stated policy for children at this time, we are entirely inclusive and supportive of diversity."
Girl Scouts of Oregon does have an official non-discrimination policy for adult volunteers that includes gender identity.
