Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(July 31, 2007)--UTSA will host the U.S. premiere of works by German contemporary artist Vaago Weiland in his photographic series, "Weiland der Heiland," from Aug. 2 to Aug. 31 at the UTSA Downtown Art Gallery in the Durango Building, Downtown Campus. This and other events are part of an international cultural exchange with San Antonio artists.
The photography exhibit featuring Weiland as famous and infamous personas from history is curated by Arturo Almeida, UTSA Art Collection curator. Free and open to the public, the exhibit is in collaboration with photographers Anna E. Link and Marc-Daniel Kress. Viewing hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday.

An opening reception, free and open to all, will be hosted by UTSA President Ricardo Romo and Dr. Harriett Romo from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 2 at the gallery.
An accomplished sculptor and multidisciplinary artist from Monchengladbach, Germany, Weiland has exhibited in Paris, Berlin and Frankfurt, among other cities. In his sculptures, paintings, photographs and installations, he presents life situations he has experienced and which raise questions and reflections.
The UTSA show is part of a collaboration and cultural exchange organized by San Antonio media artists and filmmakers Laura Varela and Guillermina Zabala. Varela and Zabala will go to Monchengladbach-Bonn, Germany, for a two-week residency to lecture, create multimedia installations and exhibit their works. San Antonio muralists and visual artists Alex Rubio and Jane Madrigal will follow in the spring to create community murals.
"This cultural exchange was driven by the artists themselves," said Almeida. "We are excited to bring Vaago to UTSA, because he helps further our goal of building regional and international relationships among artists and their communities. They were inspired by each others' work and invited each other to their respective cities to present their art."
Weiland's second show in San Antonio, "The All Star Series," premieres Aug. 11 at the Flight Gallery, 1906 S. Flores. In this series, Weiland combines painted snapshots, holiday photographs and produced scenes in the style of billboards, using the five-pointed star and socialist themes in each painting.
Weiland will be part of the Media Kunst: Contemporary German Music and Film Symposium at the Blue Star Contemporary Art Center at S. Alamo and Probandt streets at 7 p.m. Sept. 21. Recognized in Europe as an accomplished multidisciplinary artist, Weiland will present an introduction to his work with two video trailers from Papua, New Guinea, and Kabul, Afghanistan. Both videos deal with the relationship between traditions, religions and values of longstanding cultures and the influences of the American and Central European sense of mission.
Along with the showings, Weiland will give a public lecture and workshop Sept. 8-15 for high school students at SAY Sí, 1518 S. Alamo St. For more information, e-mail Guillermina Zabala, SAY Sí media arts director, or Laura Varela.

Didn't want to hijack another thread about plywood Nucs with my question.
Since Advantech 23/32" is close to 3/4" and the Coates plans are based on 1/2" plywood, do I need to adjust measurements for the thicker wood?
It seems that most plywood thickness these days is all based on fractions for some reason.
At Lowes, 23/32 Advantech is $32.97
and 19/32 pine rated sheathing is $23.47
All the Nucs will be painted.
Is the added cost of Advantech worth it?
Is the thicker plywood better for a Nuc?

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Head coach Jack Kegg announced recently that duel athlete Susie Garza from Baldwin Park High School in Baldwin Park, California will compete at Oregon Tech beginning in the fall.
Garza competes in both cross country and track events. PR times include 17:43 in the 5K, 2:12 in the 800 meter, and 57.8 in the 400 meter.
"Susie is a very talented runner that will have immediate impact in the program," said Kegg. "She has several personal bests that are faster than school records currently held at Oregon Tech. Susie is a positive, energetic team member and a hard working student."
Susie is the daughter of Juan and Elida Garza and plans to major in communications at Oregon Tech.

I think the 5 th round will have a lot of value/need for us and not on RB considering the multiple needs we have. But if the Giants don't ink Brown then the RB position turns more into a need( depth wise ) and could reconsider drafting a RB in the 5th. Still I would not mind if Reese pulls again a rabbit out ot the hat drafting a " Bradshaw " in the 7 th round.

With so many needs I think Reese will fill some of them in rounds 1 and 2 with BPA, again theres a lot of ways he can go in here depending how's available, OL ( OT, G, C ), LB ( ILB, SLB, WLB ), CB, DE, DT you name it but I respecfully disagree on value in later round in OL, if we end up drafting for " need " rather than BPA at G or OT then you have to use a 1st day pick to fill that need. It all depends if Boothe hits the road, same with Deihl. Even if you fill one of those needs with a cheap veteran FA you still end up short.

I think the Steelers will grab Lacey in the first round, but this guy would be a favorite if we could get him.
Oh well, it's nice to dream.
Also any thoughts on a RB in 3 or 4? Who do you guys like since that is more realistic?
Lacey is a nice back....but I'm more interested in the Alabama line.
I really what Reese to binge on the SEC in the draft.

Exactly...How great are Ingram and T-rich doing? I love Lacey, but if I could trade the Giants starting Oline for Bama's I wouldn't even think twice
With the 31st ranking D in the league, I think we need to focus on our D...

It is also based on the assumption that Lewis bloody coat ever even existed. Only people that said it existed couldn't be trusted.
Point is if the victims were crazy or drunk enough to go up against a LB then I wouldn't be surprised if they'd mess with anyone else except this time that "someone else" happend to have a knife(prefferably after lewis entourage left).
Paying off people means nothing. The families are still moarning so no money could hush them up so I don't see why they'd hush up cause of money THEN.
LT was a better player and is a better person than ray
Look anyone is an idiot if they dont see some cover up here. Its just who he is that saved him. Look at Donte Stallworth- 30 days......
LT had sex with a prostitue that lied about her age. LT did drugs. LT was trying to buy narcotics from a drug dealer and the drug dealer attempted to rob LT at gun point. LT beat the drug dealer, took his gun and took the guys drugs. LT paid escorts to go up to oppossing offensive linemens hotel rooms and have sex with them the night before a game. LT has owned up and admitted all these things. LT did some bad things but nothing real severe.
Ray Lewis attempted to cover up a killing that was committed by some of his friends or at least, this is the extent of the involvement in the incident that he admitted to for his plea deal. His friends were found not guilty due to self defense. One of the people that died due to the self defense was stabbed 3 times in the chest and five times in the liver. Ray Lewis paid money to the dead guys families. Original statements by the driver implicated Ray in the incident and the driver later changed his story. Ray Lewis was involved in the killing of 2 individuals. He was hanging out with knife weilding degenerates that got off in court. Ray Lewis has never owned up to his involvement nor has he ever produced the clothes he was wearing that night.
It is not even close in either regard. LT is The Greatest defensive player ever and we may never see another football player as Great as he was. LT although making many mistakes is a much better person off the field than Ray Lewis is.

I just uploaded SandDiff 1.02. The URL is: http://sanddiff.qnea.de/sanddiff.rar
The changes I introduced are:
+ SandDiff performs a file modification checking so modificated files will be reported in FileDiff.TXT.
I didn´t explain it but in the reports (FileDiff, RegDiff, ...) there are 3 symbols initiating each line
"+" means that a file or registry entry was added.
"~" means that a file or registry entry was modified.
"-" means that a file or registry entry was removed.
+ I introduced a new button with the label "Meanwhile".
At the moment this button is used to capture a log of connections so SandDiff can compare opened ports.
+ I added a feature to easily recover already used sandbox folders.
+ The switch button of the viewer will change from File -> Registry -> Ports (if available) and then back to File again.
+ RegHive and RegHive.LOG are automatically discarded from file difference comparisions.
As usual I may miss something. Just try the new version and drop your comments.
Actually the TODO list contains:
+ Feature to exclude from differences user defined files, registry and maybe port values too.
+ Include a module that analyzes all the information obtained from comparisions and presents a malware
behaviour evaluation.

A $5.5 billion investment in smart grid technology could save New Zealand $23 billion during the next 20 years, a report into green growth says.
The figures are based on a study of the benefits of the technology done in the United States. The grids are seen as essential in the move towards low carbon technology here.
A report by the University of Auckland Business School and consultancy Vivid Economics says smart grids will help give New Zealand an energy advantage.
The smart grid is a digital network that unites generators, distributors and customers and allows two-way communication between the utility and its customers.
Among domestic consumers smart meters would receive and transmit information and manage the load in response to price changes.
Benefits would include smoothing the load profile over the day, a more reliable system that could respond automatically to grid conditions and correct for the likes of major outages.
The report commissioned by lobby group Pure Advantage says "considerable" smart grid experience exists inside Transpower. New Zealand's reliance on renewable energy made solar grids attractive here.
Substantial wind and wave energy resources and the decreasing cost of solar power meant renewable generation would grow but as the sources were intermittent they were hard to manage using existing infrastructure. The report cited New Zealand's small size and short decision-making lines as reasons why this country could lead the way.

A Libyan security official says a female lawmaker in the outgoing parliament has been killed in a restive eastern city known as a stronghold of Islamic extremists.
Pakistani rights activist Malala Yousafzai has met Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan to press for more action to free at least 200 girls held by Boko Haram Islamist militants.
The militants' leader has reiterated in a new video message that he is prepared to negotiate a prisoner swap for them.
As I researched my book, Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here: Untold Stories from the Fight Against Muslim Fundamentalism, and spoke with people in countries from Afghanistan to Mali, I discovered that just as the personal is political, the political is always personal. This has been the case in my own life as well, and it's why I made the decision to begin my TED Talk, When people of Muslim heritage challenge fundamentalism, with a personal story from June 1993, set against then escalating violence by non-state fundamentalist armed groups in Algeria.
More than 60 women and girls are reported to have escaped from the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram, security sources say.
They were among 68 abducted last month near the town of Damboa in north-eastern Borno state.

On the Occupation of Mosul and the Cities of Western Iraq
The Iraqi society is suffering unprecedented crisis that threatens the future of peaceful co-existence of citizens, and augments genocides and civil conflicts based on the sectarian identities that were established on the Iraqi population, and were strengthened throughout more than a decade of the American occupation to Iraq.
Amid worsening armed violence in Iraq, the Baghdad-based Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq is working to help women who have been harmed and driven out of their homes. The group is reaching out to cities with the largest numbers of women displaced by the fighting.

text: It was sure to be a difficult day for both of the top clubs in Colorado as all five ECNL teams would go head to head in their first ECNL match up ever. Each game was hard fought for sure but at the end of the day it was Colorado Rush fortunate to be on top. The two clubs split the first games of the day as both the 14 girls and 15 girls kicked off at 9am at Addenbrooke Park. The 14 girls battled for 70 plus minutes and though a late goal gave them a life line, it was not enough as time would soon run out and Real would be victorious with a 2-1 win. As the 14's were fighting their way back into their match, the 15's were searching for ways to break down the Real defense in theirs. After taking an early two goal lead, it would be Real fighting back and making the game 2-2. But midway through the second half, the continuous quality that the 15's put forth finally produced results and Rush found the additional breakthrough they were looking for and went on to secure the 3-2 win. Next on the docket was a battle of two of the top ranked teams in the country. The 17 girls (Rush first 11 are pictured). In a high scoring affair, Rush would prevail 5-3 after taking leads of 2-0, 4-1 (to 4-3) and then finally 5-3. Five different goal scorers registered goals for the Rush girls who displayed some entertaining soccer throughout the match. Video highlights of the game are below. The 16 girls would follow with a 3-1 result. After conceding an early goal, the Rush girls would tally three unanswered goals and finish the game comfortably. The final match of the day pitted two of the top U18 teams in the state against one another. Bri Campos was the story of the first half netting two important goals to provide a 2-0 lead. The Rush girls would match that output in half two, doubling their lead and capping off the day with a 4-0 win. Said academy director of coaching Wes Hart, "I am proud of all of our teams today. It is great to get the results that we did, but how we got them was equally as impressive. We know when we face Real in the spring we will have to earn each and every result all over again, but for now, it feels good."

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]
The Complete Nyingma Tradition from Sutra to Tantra, Books 1 to 10
Foundations of the Buddhist PathIn 1838, Choying Tobden Dorje, a Buddhist yogi-scholar of eastern Tibet, completed a multivolume masterwork that traces the entire path of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism from beginning to end. Written by a lay practitioner for laypeople, it was intended to be accessible, informative, inspirational, and above all, practical. Its twenty-five books, or topical divisions, offer a comprehensive and detailed view of the Buddhist path according to the early… Read More

I would never just use wood as a support for a pivot pin or spring. I would make a base frame of aluminum or steel and cover it with the wood grip. If you just use wood (even laminate) as the base support, it will eventually wear through or break out.
The smg in those pictures still has the FCG in the standard location. You just need a trigger bar to extend back and clear the magwell.
Any high capacity pistol magazine would work for a copy of this. High-cap Glock or S&W magazines come to mind.
For 9mm, .45, etc. blowback, you would still need to modify the bolt/carrier similar to what I did for my conversion. If you really wanted to make something interesting, use Desert Eagle mags and make it gas operated in .44 or .357 and keep the rotating bolt system.

Our hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming and made our stay very comfortable. The room was nice and clean and we felt very much at home during our stay. We would definitely stay here again and recommend them to anyone wanting a nice stay in London.
This was the best B&B I've ever stayed in. Mr and Mrs Ahmed are the loveliest people, they are very warm and kind. Their home is very comfortable, tidy and clean, it is also in a lovely calm area with a beautiful park just a short walk away. After a good breakfast, I went on a lovely, sunny walk to Crystal Palace, one of my favourite spots, then later went by bus to Brixton for a nice meal and film. All round it was a perfect break. I have no idea who wrote the last review, can't believe it was meant for this generous home - my advice is read all the other reviews, this place is excellent!
Me and my wife would like to say a big thanks to Mr & Mrs Khalid for their hospitable nature.
Mr Khalid was kind enough to switch us from as smaller room to a bigger room for the same price.
Mrs Khalid was always generous with her welcoming smiles and gave us a free hand to use or take anything free in the house.
We will come again and certainly recommend his apartment to friends.
Many thanks to the wonderful and lovely elderly couple.
A very welcoming home we have visited here. Khalid and his wife Rubin were very very kind people. Everything was just perfect the breakfast, the room and the bathroom as well. I would definitely come again.
Tanks for everything and the help!
It was a very nice stay in Khalid´s house. The room was comfortable, the breakfast was nice and Khalid and his wife were so kind to us.On our next visit we would like to stay there agian. Very nice place with very warm people. Thanks a lot. We had a great time!
Simply great! If you want to feel at home close to London, stay with Khalid and Rubina . You live in a calm, warm and nice house, get a good breakfast and a tidy clean room and bath. It takes only 2 minutes to the bus or 10 minutes to the train, which leaves every 10 minutes to Victoria station (20 minutes ride). Close to the house there is a big park where you can relax from your busy day in the city centre. Khalid and Rubina - thank you so much for the warm welcome. If we come back to London, we will definitely stay with you again. Kind regards, Melanie and Jonah
We really had a pleasant stay with Mr. and Mrs. Ahmed! They are very nice and respectful hosts. Both the room and de breakfast were of outstanding quality. We enjoyed to chat with our hosts and other guests during breakfast.
Public transportation to London is also very good. From the house to the center of London is about 40 minutes. You can travel by bus and underderground or bij train and underground.
Best regards

We stayed at Khalid's place for a week and it was a pleasure.
Khalid and his wife are very very nice,helpful and we felt very comfortable staying there because they treated us like family members :)
It was very cold the first 2 nights but they did everything possible to solve the "problem"
Their house is very pretty and the rooms and bathroom were very clean, breakfast was good too with loads of stuff to choose from :)
We were sad to leave but looking forward to come back one day!
Best stay and best choice ever!
Thank you so much for having us!

Mistake in CSPD "cheat sheet" may have lead to wrongful charge
Man taken to jail after gun dispute at Pride Fest
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A mistake in a Colorado Springs Police manual may be to blame for a man's claim that he was wrongfully charged with a crime and jailed during Pride Fest.
James Sorensen said police stopped him as he was leaving the gay pride festival because they noticed the unconcealed gun on his hip.
"They said, 'You can't have a firearm inside the park,'" Sorensen recalled.
Sorensen said an officer told him to leave, and that prompted him to ask for the officer's card. He said that's when police asked for his I.D. and ended up detaining him. Sorensen acknowledges that he argued and became angry with officers while it was happening, but said he was frustrated because he was confident he was allowed to be carrying his gun.
"I was being detained for no reason. All my rights were being violated," he said.
Sorensen was eventually handcuffed and put in a police car. He said he was taken to jail where he remained for about an hour.
There used to be a Colorado Springs city ordinance that prohibited open carry in city parks, but it was abolished nearly a decade ago.
Sorensen said he was able to retrieve his weapon two days later, and that police told him the charge against him would likely be dropped.
"They said they have a cheat sheet for 2011 that states you can't have a firearm in a park, but that's no longer on the books," said Sorensen.
Colorado Springs police said they could not comment because this is an open case. Spokesperson Barbara Miller responded by email writing, "We are aware of the situation and are investigating it."
TARGET 13 Investigates did an open records request for the police "cheat sheet;" a 40 page manual that serves as a reference for different types of crimes and violations.
The ordinance that Sorensen is charged with violating is listed as "Firearms; possession (parks)," statute 9.9.409(B). It's the ordinance that was abolished in 2003.
Sorensen is due in court next week. He said even if the charge is dropped, he's worried his record will never be clear.
"I'm going to have an arrest on my record, which is not cool because I shouldn't have been arrested in the first place," he said.
In a report of the incident, CSPD said Sorensen was given "ample time" to leave the park, but refused to do so. A sergeant wrote that Sorensen was being hostile, physically demonstrative and trying to incite a crowd. You can watch what happened here.
Pride Fest took place a day after the mass shooting at the Aurora movie theater, and Sorensen acknowledged this is why police may have been especially on edge.

Other Training Tutorials
In addition to Lynda.com we also have helpful information on how to manage your McCombs email, as well as various educational videos you can access by clicking the tabs below.
All McCombs Students receive a McCombs branded email address. The features available vary based on when you were admitted to McCombs.
Students who entered McCombs before the year 2012, you receive a 100 MB mailbox during your time at McCombs and lifetime email forwarding after leaving McCombs. Email can be forwarded to another address while you are at McCombs.
For students admitted January 2012 or later, you will receive a McCombs branded email address that will be forwarded to the email account you used when applying to McCombs. You can update your email forwarding to forward to a different account. After graduation, your email forwarding will continue for life.
While at McCombs, you will have access to McCombs contacts and distribution lists through the McCombs Webmail page, but you will need to empty your Sent Items folder after sending any email through this site because your mailbox size is only 2 MB.
All faculty and staff receive a McCombs branded email address that follows the form email@example.com. You also receive a 250 MB mailbox on the McCombs Exchange servers.
Your McCombs mailbox has a size limit. When you reach that limit, you will not be able to send or receive email until you reduce your mailbox size.
Mailbox Size Limits:
The following videos cover tools that help you manage your mailbox in Outlook 2003, or Outlook 2007.
Everything stored on the server counts against your mailbox size limit. So, to understand how to manage your mailbox size, it helps to know what is stored on the server. Watch the video below for an explanation.
Video - What is on the Server (2 min)
If you don't want to exceed your mailbox size limit, it helps to know what size your mailbox currently is. Watch the video below to learn how to check your mailbox size in Outlook 2003, 2007, and Outlook Web Access.
Video - Checking Your Mailbox Size (2 min)
One simple way to avoid exceeding your mailbox limit is to delete email that you no longer need. The videos below will show you how to delete multiple emails, bypass the Deleted Items folder, manage your Deleted Items folder, delete attachments, and recover Deleted Items if necessary.
Video - Deleting Email and Other Items (3 min)
Video - Managing the Deleted Items Folder (2.5 min)
If you want to save email, and you are in danger of exceeding your mailbox limit, the only other option is to move some of your email offline.
Video - Offline Email Folders (5 min)
Auto-Archive is a feature in Outlook that automates moving email offline. It is very helpful if you have trouble remembering to move email offline.
Video - AutoArchive (5 min)
If you have saved emails to the hard drive of your computer, you will need to include your offline email file when you back up the important files on your computer. You will need to close Outlook before you back up your offline email file. To back it up, you will just navigate to the file on your computer, copy it, and paste it to the drive of another physical location. This can be a CD that you burn, a USB drive, or an external hard drive.
Please note: If your email contains sensitive data, you must be careful to secure whatever it is you back up to. You should not backup anything confidential to a USB drive, as those are easy to lose or steal. All sensitive data should be secured at all times.
If you have an offline email folder, and do not know where it is saved, read the Outlook Personal Folders article on the Tech Help Wiki.
You cannot navigate to your offline email file (ie PST file, Personal Folder, or Archive file) and double click to open it. You must open this file in Outlook.
To do so in Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007:
Mailboxes often exceed their size limit because attachments take up so much space. One way to keep your mailbox size under its limit, and to help your friends and coworkers do the same, is to avoid sending attachments. Here are some ideas on avoiding sending attachments:

2014 SSI Hall of Fame Inductee Martin Gren
Axis Communications Co-founder Martin Gren has been inducted into the 2014 Security Sales & Integration Hall of Fame for his contributions to the video surveillance market.
By Scott Goldfine · April 1, 2014
Current Status
Director New Projects and Board Member, Axis
Why He's on the List
- Co-founder of Axis Communications who paved way for monumental security industry transformation from analog to digital video surveillance
- Co-invented (with Carl-Axel Alm) world's first network camera, launched by Axis in 1996, that would forever change the direction, opportunities, services and growth of the global video surveillance market
- Added introduction of world's first video encoder in 1998
- Founded as a network company for connecting printers to mainframes with Mikael Karlsson and Keith Bloodworth, Axis grew into a global market leader in surveillance cameras
- High profile as speaker at industry events and a leading evangelist on the benefits of networked video
- Presently involved in broadening Axis' portfolio with products such as thermal cameras and access control
Inspired to Innovate
"I have always been very curious and loved new products and gadgets. And what I like more than buying them is developing them. This probably goes back to when I was a child and could not afford to buy the few gadgets available. Simply, if I wanted them, I had to build them on my own. This is something I still do. Axis is now a large, global company with more than 1,600 employees and 65,000 partners. One of our main challenges today is ensuring that we keep the company innovative and agile as we grow. This is why we continue to invest so heavily in R&D and hire global employees who exemplify our core values: Act as one, always open and think big."
The Gren File
- Born 1962 in Ostersund, Sweden
- One of two children, father and mother were both teachers
- Married (wife is also a teacher) with a son (13 years old) and a daughter (10)
- Studied electronics and business administration at Sweden's Lund University
- Leading sponsor of Star-for-Life, an anti-AIDS and school project in South Africa involving some 100 schools and 100,000 students
- Other interests include family time and skiing
Others Play Key Roles
"Axis was not an IP video company from the beginning — and still is not. We are more an IT company with the business of connecting intelligent devices to the network. We began by doing this with printers and here some of my mentors were my other co-founders, Mikael Karlsson and Keith Bloodworth. Keith formalized the Axis business model of never bypassing the channel, and Mikael provided a lot of vision and ideas on how to manage and grow a company."
Introducing IP Into an Analog World
"The first time we exhibited at a tradeshow was IFSEC in Birmingham [U.K.] in 1997. Everyone thought we did some kind of toy camera and had gone to the wrong tradeshow. We, on the other hand, realized the whole market was analog and would go IP one day. This was around the same time we decided to invest in our first video application-specific integrated circuit [ASIC], otherwise known as ARTPEC-1. This specially designed ARTPEC chip from Axis made the network camera suitable for video surveillance. Today, we're on our fifth generation of ARTPEC and it continues to be a major differentiator."
Something People Might Not Know
Gren began his career in high school selling control equipment for disco lights. The business grew and enabled him to employ many of his classmates. One guy purchased components, another bent plates and helped him with cabling, and his little sister even etched the PCBs. But most of his classmate "employees" were resellers. Gren says this was where he learned the importance of treating all partners equally. "Business was done a little differently in the schoolyard. If one classmate got a better price than another one, they would simply beat me up!"
Channel and Market Shifts
"One of the biggest changes has been in how electronic security equipment has been procured. Historically, it was purchased from a single vendor offering the whole system, which resulted in higher prices and not so efficient distribution. Today, we see more efficient distribution of security products as the modern distributors are more efficient than buying everything at once. Looking ahead, we still see challenges in getting the low camera count market to switch to IP, but here we now see them switching too."

Benedictine Bottoms Wildlife Area News
Area News
Start November 18th 2013 the Corps of Engineers will have a construction crew at Benedictine Bottoms constructing two new chutes off of the Missouri River. The construction will be ongoing and could last over a year. During this time there will be areas that will be closed to public access. As the construction progresses we will keep you updated.
The hunting on Benedictine Bottom should be good this season. Very good habitat exists for all species this year. Upland habitats are very good over most of the area and bird numbers are also up for both pheasant and quail. Hunting for upland bird will be tough due to the thick habitat.
Water fowl habitat is also good. Although waterfowl numbers on the area have been sparse early, with the good habitat numbers should pick up as waterfowl migrate farther south.
Deer hunting should be good again this year also. Numbers appear to be about the average, and a couple of larger bucks have been seen.
The north wetland (first one) on the west complex is dry so we can apply Bentonite clay to seal it.
Area open in the month of September only to hunting for the dove and teal seasons. Non-toxic shot is required for all shotgun hunting. Please pick up a daily permit at the kiosk.
All other hunting on the wildlife area is regulated through a drawing in the department's special hunts program.

LTL! Love the Linux!
One of my main gripes about the CEH program is how it seems to favor windows. I was told this was because the CEH was targeted towards Admins in charge of securing their networks and the ones that seemed to be so vulnerable were windows. Whatever, and I am not about to go on a campaign that linux is better than windows. They both have there strong and weak points. I am so surprised to see how many programs that are coming available for windows as far as network security goes. Yes, you can do some decent hacking with windows now, ( oh god did I really say that?) Actually, when I want to set up a tftp server so I can upload to a server I will use windows. <- secret shame! If you have a large budget, you can use a lot of great programs from Core to the retina scanner. You can do some real decent hacking with just windows. Some Admins will say to me, " I just deal with my window boxes and have no desire to deal with linux." They say and rightfully so, that they are not interested in doing security tests of a linux server so why bother. Ok, here is my point and belief. Every good hacker I have ever met or even read about uses linux! We keep reading these great sayings from Sun Zu about how you must know the enemy as well as yourself. Well? If a hacker is going to use nessus (yeah I know its noisy, but many are using it now because you can go to a unsecured wireless network of your neighbor or local hotel and do what you want ) I want to see what he sees. If he is using linux tools, I want to see the same read outs on my network! Believe me it looks a little different and can make someone take a little different direction into your network than what you might be thinking. If you doubt this, run different vulnerability scanners on different platforms and see what I mean. Linux is not hard. I can teach anyone in 1 hour or less all the basic stuff you need to get around. You don't have to be a linux master to compile and navigate that OS. If you are the kind of person that likes more control of your OS than Bill likes to give you and you love to "tinker" with stuff then linux will addict you big time! LTL~! Love the Linux!

It's a rumour that's been bandied about for years.
Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise's starring roles in director Stanley Kubrick's sexually charged Eyes Wide Shut ultimately harpooned their 10-year marriage.
Cobblers, says Kidman, who, in a piece she penned for The Hollywood Reporter, dishes about her experience of working with Kubrick and her then-husband Cruise on the controversial 1999 movie.
"People thought that making the film was the beginning of the end of my marriage," she writes, "but I don't really think it was. Tom and I were close then, and it was very much the three of us."
She continues: "Onscreen, the husband and wife are at odds, and Stanley wanted to use our marriage as a supposed reality. That was Stanley: He used the movie as provocation, pretending it was our sex life.
"Which we weren't oblivious to, but obviously it wasn't us. We both decided to dedicate ourselves to a great filmmaker and artist."
Kidman, 45, and Cruise, 50, spent two years working on the project with Kubrick, and officially divorced in 2001. Speculation had it that the unrelenting shoot had taken its toll on their union.
"My approach to the two-year shoot was actually very Zen," she says. "Tom and I thought, 'We're so lucky, we've gotten to spend two years with the master.'"
Kubrick died on March 7, 1999, before the movie was released.
"Stanley said the film was finished - but if he had more time, who knows how it would have morphed," Kidman adds.
Kidman also shares that the late director had to "coax" her "into some of the sexuality in the film in the beginning", adding that more "extreme" footage was left out of the finished movie.
"Stanley had to coax me into some of the sexuality in the film in the beginning, but we shot things that were a lot more extreme that didn't end up in the movie," she explains.
"I did feel safe - I never felt it was exploitive or unintelligent. He was very different with women than he was with men. He has daughters, so he was very paternal with me."
The actress, now married to country music star Keith Urban, also says that the director's death cast a shadow over the movie's release.
"There was a lot of interest in Eyes Wide Shut before it was released. But the weekend it came out, July 16, 1999, was the death of JFK Jr, his wife and her sister - a black, black weekend," she recalls.
"And for Stanley to have died [on March 7, 1999, at age 70] before the film opened ... well, it all felt so dark and strange.
"Stanley had sent over the cut he considered done to us, Tom and I watched it in New York - and then he died."
She says of learning of Kubrick's death: "The next morning, I got the phone call. That was one of the worst calls; I just started screaming. I had Isabella and Connor [Kidman's children with Cruise] in the kitchen with me. Tom and I immediately got on a plane.
"The funeral was so traumatic. I truly loved Stanley and felt very connected to him. He was in our lives intensely for about four years."
Kidman also reveals that Kubrick never explained what the movie is about.
"People have asked me if Stanley ever told us what Eyes Wide Shut was about - and the answer is no," she writes. "He always said, 'Never say no to an idea - you never know how that idea will ignite another idea.' He also said: 'Never put me on a pedestal. When someone's on a pedestal, there's no creativity.' That's how I approach every creative person now - it does not help to glorify them."
Kidman also opened up the ex files in a recent interview with Who magazine.
Speaking to the mag, in the wake of Cruise's divorce from Katie Holmes, Kidman shared that she didn't regret her marriage to the Top Gun star.
"I got married really fast and really young," Kidman said. "But I don't regret that because it got me Bella and Connor, and I did have a fantastic marriage for a long period.
"Then when it didn't work out, I had to really dig deep and find my way through depression. I have no regrets about all of it. It was all part of growing up," she said.
"There were times following [the divorce] when I thought, 'Wow, this is the loneliest, loneliest existence.' But with Tom, it was a fantastic decade. I wish all of the people that have been involved in my life well, because it's very important to me to be in a place of forgiveness and love."
Kidman also revealed that - despite rampant rumours to the contrary - she did not counsel Holmes after her split from Cruise.
"I never spoke to her. I wish all of them well, but I was not involved in any of that," she said.
The Aussie actress can next be seen on the silver screen in erotic thriller The Paperboy, co-starring Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey and John Cusack.

I have heard sevral times that it is hard to get a good germination rate on Vitex Negundo . I have had some sucess this spring with some seeds I got from a BeeSource member.
Here is what I did to get about a 60% germination rate.
I put the seeds in a wire mesh strainer like this one
1. Run HOT soapy tap water over the seeds and "grind' them against the mesh to scrape and wash off the waxy coating and scratch the hull.
2. Then soak the seeds in water for 24-48 hours in a ziplock bag
3. Place the seeds in moist potting soil and place them in the Fridge for 3 Months (this is call "Stratification")
4. Take them out of the fridge and place in a warm place; as the seeds sprout, transfer them into small pots. I have about 5 plants per 16oz cup. This allows for some die and still have a viable planting.
So far they have done really well!!
Good Luck, RKR

Speaking Event: Resilience and Transformation in Haiti
Speaker: Amy Wilentz, Author, Farewell, Fred Voodoo
From Haiti's revolutionary history, to its totalitarian dynasty that ruled for decades, to the 2010 earthquake, this island nation has become synonymous with poverty and dysfunction. Yet through it all shines a people's creative culture and resilience.
During her three decades covering the country, journalist and Haitian expert Amy Wilentz has seen Haitians overcome all kinds of hardship. Still struggling to rebuild from the 2010 earthquake, Haiti now finds itself awash with well-meaning, and sometimes misguided, characters: movie stars turned aid workers, musicians running for president and a former US president working as a house builder. Wilentz will explore the evolution of Haiti's vibrant culture and dysfunctional government.

Retail Heating Oil and Diesel Fuel Prices

Because of the higher projected crude oil prices and because of increased tightening in the Northeast heating oil market since the last Outlook, we have raised expected peak prices this winter for residential heating oil deliveries to $1.55 per gallon (January) compared to $1.43 per gallon in last month's projections. This is significantly above the monthly peak reached last winter. Because these figures are monthly averages, we expect some price movements for a few days to be above the values shown on the graph.
Primary distillate inventories in the United States failed to rise significantly in November despite some speculation that previous distributions into secondary and tertiary storage would back up burgeoning production and import volumes into primary storage that month. Average heating oil spreads were above expectations in November as well. Given an even lower-than-previously-expected track for distillate fuel (including heating oil) stocks this winter, we have boosted expected heating oil margins throughout the winter. The likelihood of total distillate stocks falling below 90 million barrels at the end of the season under normal weather conditions has risen, based on recent events.

Well, I just picked up the old extractor from my father's farm where it has been stored for 25 odd years. It is a two basket, galvanized model with quite a bit of rust on the wire baskets and brackets. But it does still turn!
Anyone have any good ideas how to go about cleaning all that rust off? Are there any safe food grade products on the market that can be used?

New Jersey governor Chris Christie was particularly busy in 2013. In addition to running the Garden State, he was running for reelection. On November 5, he won a second term in a landslide victory. He became the first Republican candidate in 25 years to earn more than 50% of New Jersey's vote. Many people think he's already planning to run for an even higher office. They believe he will seek the Republican nomination for President of the United States in 2016.
During his first term, Christie showed he could work with political opponents for the benefit of his state. This was especially clear in the fall of 2012, after Hurricane Sandy caused widespread destruction in New Jersey. Christie worked with President Barack Obama, a Democrat, on disaster relief efforts. He even praised Obama publicly for all of his help.
Christie's first term was also marked by public disputes with those who did not agree with his policies. One example was the New Jersey Education Association, a labor union representing public-school teachers in the state. The union protested education reforms that Christie put in place, as well as cuts to the state's education budget. In defending his policies—sometimes getting into face-to-face arguments with people—Christie received both criticism and support.
Christie was born in Newark, New Jersey, on September 6, 1962. After graduating from the University of Delaware and Seton Hall University of Law, he worked as a lawyer in Cranford, New Jersey. He also entered politics, serving as an elected "freeholder," or county official, in Morris County. From 2002 through 2008, Christie was the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. In that position, he gained a reputation as a crusader against political corruption, corporate crime, gang violence, terrorism, and environmental pollution. In 2009, Christie was elected governor. He and his wife, Mary Pat, are the parents of four children, Andrew, Sarah, Patrick, and Bridget.
For devoting himself to leading his state, running a successful reelection campaign, and becoming one of the nation's most talked-about politicians, Governor Chris Christie is a nominee for TFK's 2013 Person of the Year.

Melbourne coach puts friendship above money in deciding his future allegiance.
League coaching supremo Craig Bellamy has chosen love over money by signing a new three-year deal with NRL premiers Melbourne that will keep him at the club until the end of 2016.
Bellamy, who was already contracted until the end of this year, said he couldn't leave the players and club he had grown so attached to in his 10 years at the helm.
He said he knocked back "very attractive" offers to stay with the Storm, with the Dragons one club that heavily courted the premiership winner.
"I feel like a bit of a fan, I suppose. This is my club," said Bellamy.
"The emotional attachment is very strong, especially with the players.
"I really enjoy working with the players here, they're really important to me, not only as coach but as a person.
"I found that attachment too hard to break, to be quite honest."
Bellamy said he wasn't sure whether this new deal would see him to the end of his coaching career as a one-club coach.
The 53-year-old felt he didn't need to prove himself at another club and there were still challenges at the Storm.
"I know a lot of people would have thought it would have been a bigger challenge for me to go and that I've achieved all I can here but I don't see that at all.
"There's still plenty we want to achieve as a group."
Securing Bellamy's future was believed to be central to the plans of a foreign consortium, which is surveying the club's books with the intention of buying it from News Ltd.
His decision to stay could also be pivotal in the plans of captain Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk, who were believed to have clauses in their contracts should the coach leave.
But Bellamy said he tried to push those thoughts aside when making the decision.
"It's not that I love the colour purple or the emblem, but I love the people in this organisation. "That's important to me."
Bellamy told his players of his decision just before their flight yesterday to England for the World Club Challenge clash against Super League club Leeds on February 22.
Glenn Stewart hopes to return in round seven
Manly officials are hopeful test back-rower Glenn Stewart will miss just the opening six rounds of the NRL season because of ongoing concerns with his left knee.
Stewart underwent off-season surgery to clean up some cartilage in the troublesome joint, having undergone similar surgery last off-season.
The test and Origin representative had an operation on Friday, after injuring his knee during training the previous day.
Despite some reports that he could be out for at least three months, Sea Eagles medical staff believe that with an intense rehabilitation schedule, the playmaking lock could return for the round seven clash against South Sydney on April 26.
Stewart endured an injury-disrupted 2012 campaign, after breaking a bone in his hand in the opening round of the season.
His unavailability for the opening six rounds of the season is set to test Manly's forward depth with coach Geoff Toovey already needing to find a replacement for departed back-rower Tony Williams.
Brett Stewart has reportedly been arrested and released without charge after a fight at a wedding party.
The Manly fullback was arrested after an altercation during celebrations prior to teammate Anthony Watmough's wedding in late January.
No charges have been laid.

Don't look now, but the underrated Notre Dame football team finally took over the No. 1 spot. Alabama/Oregon could be No.2.

I think it would be very possibly he could have 70+ catches.
Who is the best TE the giants have had with Eli and gilbride? Shockey for a couple years? They really haven't had much talent at the position. It's hard to infer from poor talent what they would have with good/great talent
And like I said earlier. You are comparing TEs who were in the system for over a year, and ones who were healthy. That Bennett is already putting up comparable numbers hurt and new to the system means he has way more upside and can put up much greater numbers

Most of us already know what we see in a Victoria's Secret catalogue or runway show is, largely, smoke and mirrors.
We know human skin isn't naturally quite that uniform or gleaming; thighs not naturally that robotically smooth; bosoms generally not quite so ample on such very thin frames. Not without some serious digital manipulation/lighting effects/body makeup, anyway.
After all, people like me in columns like this drone on about it all the time.
But, eventually, labouring all those points becomes a bit like earnest white noise. Even though on an intellectual level we understand the huge amount of work that goes into the creation of 'perfection' ('creation' being the operative word), sometimes it actually takes someone from the shop floor to really, properly hammer it home.
Because the most effective myth busting dialogues - the sort that really open and change minds - come from the inside. When someone who's setting the standards admits the standards they're setting are a sham.
Which is probably why a Ted Talk given by Victoria's Secret model Cameron Russell is currently doing the internet rounds so swiftly.
A fashion success story, Russell not only totes the fluffy angel wings but also walks for high-end designers such as Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Prada, and has featured on the cover of Vogue.
And though the 25-year-old doesn't deny her success has brought her huge pleasure and privilege ("It's awesome"), it is, she says, merely due to having won "the genetic lottery".
She's on the stage because "I'm a pretty, white woman .... I've received all these benefits from a deck stacked in my favour."
During her ten minutes of laudable honesty, Russell also provides side-by-side comparisons of pictures from her fashion shoots, and candid snapshots taken around the same time. The images are a construct, she says, to the point that the pictures of Russell are - in a sense - not even of Russell:
"In December I was shooting in the Bahamas, and on the way back I was in a boat with other people staying on the same island. One woman was going on and on about the model she'd seen on the beach who was 'so gorgeous.' Of course, that model had been me in hair, makeup and a neon bikini.
"The whole 30-minute boat ride she didn't recognise me. I was sitting directly across from her wearing sweatpants, a windbreaker, no makeup and hair up in a bun."
My favourite part is when Russell talks about young girls who want to be models: "What I really want to say to these little girls, is: why? You know, you can be anything .... Be my boss. Because I'm not in charge of anything. And you could be the editor-in-chief of American Vogue or the CEO of H&M or the next [legendary fashion photographer] Steven Meisel."
Anyway, take a look for yourself. Then pass it on to your daughter/young niece/little sister/cousin/anyone who maybe hasn't quite got it yet that what they're looking at, and aspiring to, is a mirage.

Yeah, after printing out a 250 page book I decided to stick with the shorter [50 page max] booklets. We got a generator for the well, but I wouldn't waste the energy/space in the car bringing the computer over to it [15 miles on questionable roads] for what little data is there.
A many gigabyte capacity flash drive is cheap these days and takes up the space of a pack of chewing gum. Worse comes to worse, all your data is in your pocket for use on any computer you may have access to in the future.
Where to go is a personal thing. You can hit the hills or you can hold ur ground. You live in the city, you can only hold till your over run. In the woods you can hide, or you can run when s**t gets to deep and start fresh. You need a destination point, and a secondary destination point. Be prepaired. Watch whats going around you. I would say the best thing you can do is rely on family. Work together to find the destination in advance before it happens. Keep it quiet. Keep ur options on the table. Work together and keep all desicions open. No matter how lame they are they might be the better ones to work with. Keep your options at work. You always need a back up plan for shtf. More great minds together as one work better when they are organized.
Just refilled the toner on my laser printer... Paper's cheap, and toner refill kits are cheap too. The photoconductor drum [I think that's the right part] on my printer isn't part of the toner cart., so I can refill it a lot of times before it wears out.
Still not gonna print out books, lol. Thanks for the tip on the book site though!
I really like that the days are getting shorter. In a couple more weeks, we can begin cooking outside late in the evening again without BOILING away in the heat. If the GRID drops, it will be much easier to live later on in this month.
The best thing to do is be prepared to "dig in" right where your at. Roadblocks and checkpoints may hinder your bugging out to the hills, and if caught with guns and supplies, you may be shot as a looter. The best thing to do is stay off the streets, if you already live in the country, you just stay put, and be ready to defend yourself. A lot of people prepared for Y2K, and a lot of people prepared when Clinton was in office-for nothing! A lot of people will prepare for Y12. Do you really think the government has the logistics to control 300 million people? Once word gets out, it will be a big free-for-all, a giant New Orleans.

December 2008
As noted in the introduction to this guide, paying for appropriate facilities has been a persistent challenge for charter schools. Many schools have had little choice but to cover their capital costs by diverting funds from already stretched operating budgets, thus eating into monies intended for instruction. Most charter schools also engage in complicated searches for facilities funding from a variety of sources.
Many jurisdictions have been dedicating substantial effort to easing this burden, as evidenced by the creative and sophisticated policy interventions profiled in this guide. For policymakers and charter school stakeholders interested in implementing or adding to the array of models presented here, it may be helpful to consider the following.
Context is key. In thinking about what strategies might be most sensible for a particular jurisdiction, start by assessing available resources (including money and space) and identifying key change agents, that is, those in different branches of government who have the political will and capacity to promote or enact new strategies. Also consider what types of support or expertise are needed to ease and optimize implementation of any new form of assistance for charter schools' facilities.
Different circumstances suggest different approaches. For example, in times when state economies are strapped, opening up or broadening charter schools' access to tax-exempt bonds and tax credits like the Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (QZABs) may be more realistic than introducing new charter school facilities grant programs (or making major increases to existing programs). Similarly, introducing policies that encourage districts to provide facilities to charter schools may be more effective in areas facing declining enrollment.
Policy remedies are evolving and can be interdependent. The whole charter school movement has developed incrementally, with growing interest and acceptance over the years. Similarly, developing policy solutions to the charter facilities dilemma appears to be a gradual process. For example, the experiences of many of the sites profiled in this guide suggest that charter school financing markets appear to take time to develop. But as more deals are secured, with few if any defaults, investors gain confidence, which, in turn, promotes further growth.
Sometimes development in one area of support leads naturally to progress in another. For instance, the stable source of revenue provided by even relatively low per-pupil facilities aid grants can provide the security that lenders need in order to feel comfortable investing. Similarly, maturation of a traditional lending market for charter school facilities may encourage a bond market to emerge in this arena.
The current environment presents questions about the extent to which charter schools should be in the real estate business. From a policy standpoint, two fundamental and competing issues are whether facilities ownership is a good idea for charter schools and whether charter operators should be freed from the burden of finding suitable facilities. Overall, the current climate of funding and financing for charter schools provides market-based incentives for school operators to be efficient in their facility decisions.
On the other hand, one can argue that as public schools, charter schools should be provided the same resources (e.g., existing public facilities or land, tax, or bond revenues) in the same way that these resources are offered to other public schools. There are no simple answers, as such policy judgments weigh whether charter schools should be brought into the fold of the traditional district system or whether there should be a separate system for the charter sector. Some argue that, just as charter schools pursue innovative approaches to instructional programs or school governance, they also should pursue innovative models of facilities financing, pursuing broader goals, such as creating links with community resources, holding down overall facilities costs, and conserving energy. A potential intermediate approach could involve a system that puts charter schools in direct relationship with the state, rather than districts, for their financing arrangements.
Challenges remain and innovative solutions are needed. Even if all of the strategies mentioned in this guide were widely adopted and perfectly implemented, some charter schools would still struggle to find appropriate facilities. For example, some may be well positioned to take advantage of exemplary policies that make financing more affordable, but be unable to locate suitable space. Another vexing challenge is that newer and less well-heeled charter schools often do not meet the requisite credit criteria to access lower-cost financing options. Parents considering charter schools need assurance that there will be a safe and appropriate setting for their children to learn—and many want to know where a school is going to be located before they are willing to sign up their children. Therefore, policymakers and charter school stakeholders who want to foster the continued growth of this sector need to continue to think beyond the models that are presented in this book and look, especially, at how to design options that support schools in the start-up phase.
Policy decisions touch on equity and costeffectiveness. The underlying driver for policymakers as they examine all options and make their decisions will always be the need to ensure that as much money and as many resources as possible are going where they are most needed—the classroom. After all, the lack of available funding and the ensuing effort that charter school operators expend on finding and funding facilities means that resources are diverted from teaching and learning. Furthermore, given that charter schools have no tax base, grappling with the facilities dilemma presents an opportunity to pioneer policies that disentangle school funding from local prosperity, which could, in turn, have ramifications for public education in general. Keeping in mind that many charter schools serve low-income student populations, the goal of introducing more equitable approaches is particularly salient.
By considering the models presented in this guide, adapting them to local contexts, and generating new ones, states across the nation can lay the groundwork for offering all public school students the facilities needed to reach their education goals.

ADELANTO -- Sheriff's deputies on Monday arrested a Victorville woman on suspicion of trying to extort money from a woman for the return of her cell phone.
Delfina Gutierrez, 46, was booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of extortion and drug possession.
The victim told deputies she lost her cell phone at a Carl's Jr. restaurant in Adelanto. When she called and sent text messages to her phone to see if someone had it, Gutierrez responded and said she would only return the phone for $100 in cash, sheriff's officials said.
The victim made arrangements to meet Gutierrez at a gas station on Mall Boulevard in Victorville. Deputies waited at the location and arrested the suspect when she arrived.

How charities are suffering since Google removed right-hand PPC ads

But the discussion so far has predominantly been around companies and agencies that are likely to have some level of flexibility within their display budgets.
One group that will be impacted in a very different way is the charity sector, particularly those who rely on Google's Ad Grants programme, which limits bids to just $2.

Google making more changes to AdWords: display network updates
This month Google has announced another change to Google Adwords - the addition of a Display Network tab which will consolidate all display reporting and targeting in one place.
I've come to the conclusion that this is to increase the use of Google's display network by making it easier to use, to keep up with competition and, of course, to make more money.
Display network advertising through Google has seen a lot of improvements over the last year and they have been pushing it almost as much as their search advertising.
However, it has always been harder to grasp and easier to make mistakes on than the search network. Hopefully this update will help users be able to manage campaigns more easily so people can get better results for their websites.

Advertising with Google AdWords is not protection money for organic SERPs
When you're a digital marketer or deal with issues like SEO on a day-to-day basis, it's easy to forget that there are lots of people running businesses that leverage the internet in some way who are trying their best to learn and stay on top of trends without all the resources of the 'pros'.
I was recently speaking to an acquaintance who runs several small mom-and-pop ecommerce websites and as we discussed his use of AdWords, he told me something quite interesting: despite the fact that his campaigns weren't performing, he felt the need to continue spending a little money with AdWords because he thought it would help with his organic ranking.
