Looking back, looking ahead
Now that I have finally disengaged myself from the what is commercially and socially — and for some, spiritually (and God bless you, every one) — known as "the holiday season," I have been giving a lot of thought to how good a year 2010 was, the Sun purchase by Oracle and the Novell deal notwithstanding, and what 2011 has to offer.
It looks like 2011 will be the year of the Linux deskt . . . I'm sorry, what? Oh. Well, never mind. Let's skip that one
Looking back at 2010, most recently we had both Russia and Cuba going to FOSS, which must prove Steve Ballmer right about Linux being Communist. After all, I think a young Linus Torvalds was able to see Russia from his house a lot better than Sarah Palin could from Wasilla. Meanwhile, Red Hat — oh, what's in a name anyway, comrade? — became poised to be the first billion-dollar Linux company and stats show that they are gaining market share in the corporate server world. Go, Shadowman! And there's that little green space cadet Android making gains in the various markets where it now works. So despite an Apple/Microsoft shell company buying Novell and the other — and more evil — Larry essentially killing open source at what was once the Camelot-esque Sun, 2010 was a good year.
Of course, 2010 would not be complete without the introduction of Chux, the Linux distro developed by Chuck Norris — A Linux designed by Chuck Norris would require no backups, as it would be too scared of Chuck to fail, and the CPUs run faster to get away from Chuck Norris. You don't boot it, it boots you. Go here to take a look here.
What would I like to see in 2011? Glad you asked. What would be nice would be:
Digital pundits not saying that 2011 is the year of the Linux desktop, because it's won't be. And that's OK. Believe me, until this year when the San Francisco Giants won the World Series, I know the "wait-'til-next-year" drill very well. The year of the Linux desktop will come someday — as it should — but with all the advances Linux is making in server and smaller formats — yes, I'm looking at you, Android — we don't have to put all our eggs in that basket to determine Linux a success. We don't have to thump our proverbial chests and say "this year . . . the desktop," and then when the end of the year rolls around and it isn't, there's not a whole lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth. To say nothing of garment-rending . . . . The fact of the matter is that Linux and FOSS are as healthy as they have ever been, Novell and Sun sale notwithstanding.
Go to the show: Linux shows and expos are popping up all over, so you really have no excuse in 2011 not to go to one. The established ones, like the Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE 9X this year) and OSCON, are now being joined by a whole host of other events throughout North America. Most recently, Indiana gets its own Linux festival in March, aptly titled the Indiana Linux Fest. It joins, in order of appearance (off the top of my head — and forgive me if I forget your expo), SCALE, Linux Fest Northwest, COSSFest in Calgary, Texas Linux Fest, Southeast Linux Fest (in the GNU South), OSCON, Ohio Linux Fest, and Utah Open Source Conference. You'll find me at SCALE, Linux Fest Northwest, COSSFest (hopefully — if they let me out of the country), OSCON and Utah Open Source Conference on an annual basis.
Oh, and one more thing: Lindependence 2011 will be held in early July, around Independence Day, in Felton, California — where Lindependence started a couple of years ago.
Last, but certainly not least:
Large distros carrying their weight in the FOSS realm: First it was the GNOME study by David Neary that had Red Hat, Novell and others carrying the developmental mail for GNOME — Red Hat and Novell with 10-plus percent each — while Canonical came in at, wait for it, 1.03 percent. Fine. That's been hashed out already both on these pages and elsewhere. But the Linux Foundation released its annual report on Linux kernel development late in the year — go ahead and get the PDF file here — and while you're at it, you might want to do a search for Canonical to see how often it shows up. Spoiler alert: It doesn't. And I'm just going to leave it at that, hoping that Canonical and/or Ubuntu shows up on next year's report.
Let's all have a great 2011.

Talkers and doers
Greg DeKoenigsberg wrote a blog item which wraps up with the following quote: "The world is full of talkers and doers, and in the long haul, people are usually smart enough to figure out which is which."
While the blog itself is based on a recent presentation by Dave Neary of GNOME regarding contributions, or lack thereof, by FOSS companies and individuals to the GNOME desktop, the underlying theme (for lack of a better term) returns to the upstream argument where, frankly, some entities aren't pulling their weight on the development end of things — and it applies not only to GNOME, but to the kernel, to Xorg and so on down the list.
So I'm just going stand aside and let you read it, and comment on it if you like.

that's what i've seen on this side as well. all the money made from the business is just put back into the business at this stage.
i like the never let the dream die shirt btw, it's clean.
i kinda see what you're saying about that. the quality of the shirts are still excellent though. so damn comfortable.
appreciate that man! I really dig your brand too. I think it's just a different type of shirt. there are streetwear shirts that are known for their thicker collars and then there are shirts like yours that are made for a different consumer. dig it.

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team led almost from start to finish on Saturday night, completing a weekend sweep at The Palestra with a 68-60 win over Columbia.
Penn won consecutive games for the first time this season and improved to 3-2 in Ivy League play, 6-13 overall. With Harvard's loss to Yale on Saturday night, the Quakers are suddenly within one game of the Crimson and Bulldogs -- both 5-1 in league play -- at the top of the Ivy League standings.
Columbia was up 5-1, but the Quakers held the Lions without a field goal for nearly eight full minutes and took advantage with a 12-1 run to go up 13-6. As it turned out, Penn would never trail again.
Penn's lead reached double figures with 8:13 to go when Steve Rennard drained a three-pointer, and it was still a 10-point lead when the game reached halftime (40-30).
Penn's biggest lead came with just under seven minutes to play when Tony Hicks put home a layup that pushed the Quakers in front, 62-46. However, Penn has struggled with prosperity all year long, and Saturday was no exception – Columbia immediately went on a 9-0 run that made the score 62-55 with 3:38 still to play.
Henry Brooks – who had hit two big jumpers earlier in the half, turning a seven-point lead to an 11-point advantage – broke the Columbia streak with two free throws, and then Maodo Lo missed a three-pointer that Fran Dougherty rebounded. Rennard broke out ahead of the pack and was led by Miles Jackson-Cartwright for a layup that made the score 66-55.
Columbia again responded, this time off a trey from Meiko Lyles and then a pair of free throws from Lo that cut Penn's lead to 66-60 with exactly two minutes left in regulation.
As it turned out, Columbia wouldn't score again. And while Penn never took full advantage, the Quakers were able to get two points with 11 seconds left on a pair of free throws from Hicks to put it away.
Dougherty ended Saturday's game with 23 points and 12 rebounds (tying a season high in that category)for his second double-double this weekend. He was 10-of-14 from the field. Hicks had 13 points, while Brooks and freshman Matt Howard scored eight apiece. Jackson-Cartwright scored just five points, but dished out six assists and had two steals.
For Columbia, Alex Rosenberg had 17 points while Lo scored 16 and Lyles added 11.
Penn returns to action next weekend on the road, facing Yale on Friday night and then Brown on Saturday night. Both games will tip off at 7 p.m.
Game Notes: Penn won consecutive games for the first time this season … Penn swept the Cornell-Columbia home weekend for the 41st time in 55 times hosting … Penn won for the first time this season when scoring fewer than 70 points (previously 0-8 in such games) … For the second straight game and the third time in four games, Penn shot better than 50 percent from the field (26-48, .542) … For the weekend, Penn shot 59-of-102 (57.8 percent) from the field including 54-of-82 (65.9 percent) on two-point attempts … Columbia set opponent season lows in points (60) and blocked shots (1) and were one rebound above the opponent low for this season (26) … For the fourth time this season, Penn had a double-digit rebound advantage over its opponent (+11) … Senior Fran Dougherty had his second straight double-double, his fifth this season and ninth at Penn … Dougherty had 12 rebounds, a season high and one shy of his career best … Dougherty has 127 rebounds in Penn's last 15 games (8.5 rpg), and has snared nine or more boards in 10 of Penn's last 13 games … Dougherty had 23 points, his second game with 20 or more this season and 11th double-figure scoring outing this season (21st at Penn) … Sophomore Tony Hicks scored 13 points, eighth time in the last nine games he has hit double digits (17.0 ppg in that stretch) … Junior Henry Brooks had eight points, one shy of a season high, and tied his season best with five rebounds … All of Brooks' points came in the second half … Freshman Matt Howard set a season/career high in points for the second straight night (8) and also had season/career highs in rebounds (5) and minutes (19) … Senior Miles Jackson-Cartwright now has 1,301 points for his career which is tied for 16th in Penn history along with Tyrone Pitts (1985-88). Tony Price (1,322 points from 1977-79) is 15th.

Duke Kahanamoku Statue, Oahu
Duke Kahanamoku Statue
- Name: Duke Kahanamoku Statue
- What: Iconic Waikiki statue of "The father of modern surfing"
- Where: Where:On Kuhio Beach in Waikiki
On Kuhio Beach, a bronze statue of Duke Kahanamoku welcomes you to Waikiki with open arms. Duke was a true Hawaiian hero and one of the world's greatest watermen, a master of swimming, surfing and outrigger canoe paddling.
Duke Paoa Kahanamoku was born on August 24, 1890. He grew up swimming and surfing in Waikiki near the current Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort. Discovered as a swimming sensation, Duke's legend began when he broke the world record in the 100-yard freestyle during his very first competition. The prodigious Duke went on to win Olympic gold in the 100-meter freestyle and silver in the relay in 1912. He also won two gold medals in 1920 and won a silver medal at age 34 in the 1924 Olympics. Duke was also one of the pioneers of the Waikiki Beach Boys, watermen who earned their livings teaching visitors how to surf and canoe at Waikiki Beach. If you look, you can still find real Waikiki Beach Boys showing visitors a great time in the Waikiki surf today. The amiable Duke also acted in Hollywood and used his fame to spread the popularity of surfing to the U.S. mainland and Australia. Later, he was elected Sheriff and official greeter of the city and county of Honolulu and was the first person to be inducted into both the Surfing Hall of Fame and the Swimming Hall of Fame. Duke Kahanamoku, "The father of modern surfing," was Hawaii's first ambassador of goodwill. He was instrumental in helping to spread the sport of surfing and the spirit of aloha around the world. To see authentic photos and memorabilia of Duke and the Waikiki Beach Boys grab a bite at Duke's Canoe Club in the Outrigger Waikiki overlooking Waikiki Beach.

Emma Roberts arrested for domestic violence
(Yahoo!) - Emma Roberts' good-girl reputation is in jeopardy.
A rep for the "Scream 4" star has confirmed to "omg! Insider" that the 22-year-old actress was arrested for domestic violence on July 7 in Montreal, Canada.
Roberts, daughter of actor Eric Roberts and niece of Oscar winner Julia, was detained by Montreal police following an altercation in a hotel room with her boyfriend, 26-year-old "American Horror Story" actor Evan Peters — a spat that allegedly left him with a bloody nose.
"It was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding," her spokesperson said.
"Ms. Roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it."
The Montreal Police Department confirmed the charges were dropped and the case is considered closed.
Roberts, whose credits also include the kid-friendly "Aquamarine" and "Nancy Drew," began dating Peters in the spring of 2012, and appeared on the red carpet together for the first time at a Golden Globes afterparty in January.

EVESHAM United stumbled into 2014 with a 6-2 home thrashing by bogey side Wimborne Town after having their goalkeeper sent off.
The Robins, who visit midtable Taunton Town in Calor Southern League Division One South and West on Saturday (3pm), shipped six goals against the Dorset side for the second time this season.
United had keeper Louie Barnfather, standing in for the injured John Bateman, sent off at the end of the first-half with coach Gary Baines taking over.
Lance Smith buried Marcus Palmer's cross to give Evesham a fifth-minute lead against Wimborne.
But the visitors levelled through Sam Griffin and scored twice in the final two minutes of the half through Mark Gamble.
Barnfather lost possession to Gamble for the first and was then harshly ruled to have fouled Wimborne's top-scorer, who put the penalty past replacement Baines after the red card was issued.
Smith finished Jared Wilson's pass a minute after the break but George Webb struck twice and Gamble completed his hattrick despite Baines' heroics.
Evesham: Barnfather, Wilson, Mansell, Barnfield, Dovey (Holloway 74), Jackson, Kennedy (Baines 45), Davis (Vercesi 61), Brown, L Smith, Palmer.
Subs not used: J Smith. Attendance: 183.
- A strong second-half performance enabled Evesham to claim a 1-0 victory in the Boxing Day derby with local rivals Stratford Town.
Carl Brown's ninth goal of the season earned United a third away win but their makeshift defence was under pressure for long first-half spells.
Stratford, however, paid the price for not turning possession into goals when Brown struck with 17 minutes left.
The reliable Bateman impressed in goal for Evesham, whose only clear opening in the first period saw Brown foiled by keeper Andy Kemp.
The outstanding Linden Dovey and Brown went close in the second- half before Ed Williams set up the only goal. Bateman injured his hip late on and was replaced by Barnfather.
Evesham: Bateman (Barnfather 84), Wilson, Mansell, Barnfield, Dovey, Tambling, Kennedy (Jackson 58), Davis, Brown, L Smith (Palmer 68), Williams. Subs not used: J Smith. Att: 290.

I will never understand how people can enjoy listening to that ^ The guitars in those songs are pretty good, but the voices are either nails on a fucking chalkboard high-pitched or down-syndrome low pitched. Not hating, but I can never come around to even slightly like it.

Portable Pet Ramp Not Helpful
By Bob
from Eatonton, Georgia
The steps are made from hard rigid plastic and are very slippery. The grooves were not helpful in enabling my 90 lb Shepherd to get a grip. Product was returned to Hammacher Schlemmer. Product is a good idea - execution is terrible.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: While we regret that this product didn't delight you, we are gratified that you took advantage of our unconditional Lifetime Guarantee. Although our goal is your complete satisfaction with every product, we understand you may encounter the rare occasion when an item doesn't meet your expectations.

Great for any size animal
By Abbey
from Lafayette,CA
Love it, better than a ramp. My large dog would slip and slide on ramp. Waking us up at night. Steps work great. Our small dog can use the stairs too!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Way heavy
By joannie
from Ely, MN
This was such a good idea, it has to be sturdy enough, but that makes it too heavy. It has to be big enough, but that makes it too big to fit in my trunk. So disappointed. If only the dog would use it I'd put up with the other things, but he can't be coaxed or bribed to set foot on it.
Fabulous !!
By Dan
from Simsbury CT
Our 10 year old chocolate lab is just starting to have difficulty in jumping into the back of our SUV for his daily walk in the woods. This ramp has made all the difference for him!!!He gets into the back now without a problem--he is a bit neurotic so it did take him a few tries to get the hang of it but now he goes on his own accord knowing it is time for the drive to the woods and his special time on his walk!

Great dog ramp
By Carol
from gainesville, fl
Very sturdy ramp or stairs. Works well for getting my 110 pound dog in and out of my car without having to pick up the dog. Light, not too heavy, easily folds flat. Terrific product
Great for indoors to a high bed
By Diane
from Fresno, CA
Sits at the end of the bed connected to a platform for easy access for our senior Bichon. We use a carpet "runner" for easy traction on the ramp.

This product is a great idea and easy to use
By Kathryn in Roswell, NM
from Roswell, NM
I have a large older Border Collie that was havingtrouble getting into my SUV. This item has been agreat help. After two times of using it, my doghad no problems with it. She was more comfortable withthe stair option than the ramp. Would highly recommend it.
Love these stairs!!!!!!

We use these stairs with our arthritic 14 yr old golden retriever. It works best with the side door of our SUV because he feels safer with the door on one side and us on the other. Would be better with different 'locking' mechanism for center folding lock, but very pleased with this product. Wish we ordered it sooner.
Happy owner

I've only used it once with my Sadie so far and it only took a few minutes of coaxing to get her going. At this point she can still jump but on those soar days I know it will come in handy. Love it.

I've visited some excellent Thai Forest Tradition monasteries that are focussed on the basics, and which put very little importance on rites and rituals and ceremonies. For example, they had no morning or evening chants, just a short ceremony at food time, informal relations between monks, novices, and the Ajahn. But, I've also visited stiff, inflexible thai forest tradition monasteries, wheRe vinaya and ritual seem to be the only thing they are interested in.
I recommend just travelling widely and visiting lots of places. I guess the tone of a place is set by the ajahn... His attitude towards what's essential and important ... Good luck finding someone good.
You might have more luck in the west, rather than asia?
Hmm, any specifics...? Sayadaw U Teijania has a monastery meditation centre in Yangon, where everyone is pretty chilled and the emphasis is moreon meditation than anything else. He also ordains people.

Michael Kors Spring 2012
If this past week has shown us anything, it is that the best measure of a designer is being able to see who they are writ large in what they do, that every gesture and nuance comes from them and them alone, and isn't the result of a collective design process. Of course, staggeringly obvious as this statement might seem, not everyone shares that opinion. New York has been colored (literally) by quite a few collections that have amounted to little more than checking off the boxes (couture sportswear, intense hues, graphic prints) often without the sense of the imprimatur of the person at the helm. What, you are likely asking, does any of this have to do with Michael Kors? Well, exactly. Not a whole lot. The one thing that Kors gave us Wednesday morning at Lincoln Center was an apt reminder that if you're going to be in the driving seat of your own brand, you'd better know how to steer the car.
Or, in the case of his spring show, a jeep made for the terrain of the African bush. Kors recently visited the Singita Lebombo Lodge in South Africa, an urban minimalist fantasy in the middle of a game reserve. Kors loved it—a vacation spot in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, but with a feel of the city about it—and before long, a travel experience inspired the whole collection: the safari theme (safari jackets, serapes, camp shirts) loosened up with tie-dye patterns, warm color (sienna, amber) and rougher, rawer textures (suede, distressed cashmere, and linen). It was those tie-dye pieces that looked particularly good, as earthier renderings of that city staple the trench, worn by Karlie Kloss, or as a bias-paneled skirt worn with a crisp white shirt, sported by Arizona Muse. (Where designers once conceptualized the pant, it's now the season of the skirt; all manner of cutting and constructing techniques have ensued). One other thing: Kors is in a practical mood when it comes to what you're going to walk in next year. His heavy-buckled substantial leather sandals (in chocolate or tan) came on a tread sole that, whether flat or on a chunky wooden platform heel, will work for street and veldt alike.

Claudius was an army officer under the emperor Gallienus from 260 to 268—a period of devastation of much of the Roman Empire by invading tribes. Rising to the command of Gallienus' newly formed cavalry, Claudius succeeded to the throne upon the Emperor's emperor's assassination in 268. The new ruler speedily suppressed the rebellion of the usurper Aureolus and drove from Italy the Alemanni tribe, which had been summoned by the insurgents.
During his brief reign, Claudius' authority was recognized only in the central territories of the empire. He made an unsuccessful attempt to recapture the allegiance of the western provinces, which obeyed the emperors of the Rhine. Nonetheless, in his own area, Claudius destroyed a vast Gothic migratory force near Naissus (modern Niš, Yugos.Serbia) in Moesia. While preparing a campaign against the Vandals, Claudius died of the plague and was succeeded by his cavalry commander, Aurelian.

SEAL BEACH — The Seal Beach City Council moved closer to a deal Tuesday on a proposed development at a former Department of Water and Power property after embracing a controversial environmental impact review for a scaled-back subdivision.
The council also approved a zoning change that allows the developer, Bay City Partners LLC, to build high-density housing instead of visitor-serving uses.
But the council emphasized during a marathon session that began Monday night and lasted more than six hours that the deal could sink if the developer fails to dedicate 70 percent of the site to the city for public use.
Critics expected the council to side with the developer, and they vowed to appeal the decision to the state Coastal Commission.
Mary Parsell, conservation chair of the El Dorado Audubon, said the development will compromise the natural resources of the San Gabriel River watershed that have been important for avian species, including white-tailed kite, northern harrier and horned lark, the California brown pelicans, great blue herons, egrets and terns.
Bay City Partners originally pushed for approval to build 48 homes on the 10.7-acre former DWP site at the southwest corner of Marina Drive and First Street.
By Monday night's meeting, however, the plan had been trimmed by one-third to 32 homes. There also was a variety of structure sizes, from 30- to 50-foot-wide homes, instead of the uniform 25-foot-wide dwellings the developer had advocated.
Ed Selich, project manager for Bay City Partners, had told the Planning Commission on June 6 that he would work with city staff and that he met with a subcommittee that tailored the revised development proposal.
"It seems like a pretty good compromise," Selich told the council.
Planning Commissioner Sandra Massa-Lavitt said there were so many changes that the commission should have a new look at it.
Mario Voce, chairman of the city's Environmental Quality Control Board, said the site - being an extension of the San Gabriel River estuary - is important open space for wildlife and humans.
"It's the whole enchilada that you have to look at," he emphasized.
However, Brian Kyle, a local businessman, urged the council to move forward with the proposal.
"It's been 50 years of going back and forth," he added.
Paul Yost - one of three former council members to attend the meeting, along with Charles Antos and Ron "Chi" Kredell - said there's no rush to develop a plan.
"I think the plan is getting better, but I don't think it's there yet," Yost said.
As the council members opened their discussion of the plan, shortly before midnight Monday, Councilman Gordon Shanks said he would hold off on supporting the proposal unless the developer dedicated three acres to the city, thus eliminating the city's offer of $1.1 million for the land, which it had planned to purchase with redevelopment funding. That resource has since disappeared.
The other members seemed to agree, and some said the future of the deal would depend on Selich's response when the council meets again July 9.
On that date the council will have a second reading of the ordinances and determine whether to finalize the deal.

Photo Gallery: Changing times for Fish and Game wardens
Kyle Chang may have a "California Department of Fish and Game" patch on his shoulder, but that doesn't mean all he cares about is bears, Canada geese and people fishing without a license.
Chang is one of four state Fish and Wildlife wardens who patrol the mountains and deserts of San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
A sworn peace officer, he's on the lookout for those who violate not only the hunting and fishing rules but any other law as well.
"I'm looking more for people than for wildlife," he said.
On Feb. 12, a couple of Chang's fellow wardens received national attention when they were the first members of any law enforcement agency to confront Christopher Dorner, the former Los Angeles police officer who was on the run after killing an Orange County couple and a Riverside police officer.
One day recently in the San Jacinto Mountains outside Hemet, Chang drove on a road closed to the public and found plenty to disturb him.
Chang pointed out burned wooden posts - signs of campers - and vandalized telephone poles - proof that thieves have been there stripping metal.
On other patrols, he has come across illegal fireworks, gang parties and people with off-road vehicles "who don't care about habitat preservation."
Wardens patrol miles and miles of back roads on foot, on horseback, by truck, plane, boat and other means.
They tend to work alone. Their closest backup is usually an hour away.
And "every fisherman's got a knife and every hunter's got a gun," said Bob Orange, a retired warden who patrolled in Northern California.
Because they spend time so far from civilization, Fish and Wildlife wardens strive to be prepared for any emergency or challenge.
Each warden is issued four firearms - two handguns, a 12-gauge shotgun and a semi-automatic rifle - and two dart weapons - one a pistol and the other a rifle.
That's on top of Tasers, pepper spray and other traditional law enforcement gear.
They go through a 30-week academy, one of the longest sessions for law enforcement officers in the state.
The mission of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, which took its new name in January, is to protect the state's natural resources and provide public safety.
"If people see our badge and our gun, they instantly recognize us as law enforcement because of our appearance," said Mark Michilizzi, a warden based at the agency's Sacramento headquarters. "But if you mention our name, people don't always get the law enforcement aspect. They think of people out monitoring fish."
Checking for hunting and fishing licenses is part of the job but things can quickly become dangerous. The wardens can come across stolen vehicles and firearms, marijuana farms - and fugitives.
"Almost everyone we come in contact with have guns, especially in deer season," said Michilizzi.
Over the years, Fish and Wildlife wardens have been involved in a number of high-profile cases.
Charles Manson and some of his followers were first caught by a game warden, a sheriff's deputy and a National Park Service agent at a ranch at the south end of Death Valley.
Most recently, Fish and Wildlife wardens played a role in the hunt for Dorner, who killed himself Feb. 12 during a shootout in the San Bernardino Mountains.
State Fish and Wildlife wardens were the first law enforcement officers to encounter Dorner before the shootout and cabin fire that resulted in his death. A warden escaped injury despite several bullets fired by Dorner striking his vehicle.
"We're very proud of our officers," said Jerry Karnow, president of the California Fish and Game Wardens' Association.
Karnow praised the six wardens for their conduct in the Dorner case. Tney kept their composure and worked cooperatively with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, Karnow said.
Karnow, who has been an active field warden for nearly 25 years, said he has been indirectly shot at by hunters.
"They claimed they didn't know we were there," he said.
But there are other instances when wardens come across people who actually do intend to shoot them.
In the last seven months, there have been three warden-involved shootings in the state, including the encounter with Dorner.
Wardens have come into contact with Mexican cartel members harvesting marijuana fields in rural areas, who are trained to shoot to protect the crop.
Chang works out of his home in Hemet, where he is dispatched via radio. His mobile office is a 4-wheel-drive truck filled with technology - two GPS systems, one for off-road and one for on-road travel, several binoculars, night vision, a hand-held radio to listen to hunters and a scanner for police frequencies.
Chang jokes that if he had to be a warden 50 years ago he would be lost.
A day in the field typically begins with a patrol of Diamond Valley Lake in Hemet - Southern California's largest reservoir.
He'll look for fishing violations, then drive about 20 miles to the San Jacinto Wildlife Area, where he starts his mountain patrol.
Even though the department dates back more than 140 years, its members have been referred to as the "secret police that nobody knows about," said Karnow.
Fish and Wildlife wardens, like other law enforcement officers, are trained in a myriad of duties, such as homicide investigations, traffic stops, DUI, drug laws, rape. But they are also trained in fish and game codes, which can change regularly.
"(Wardens) can do any Penal Code, any Vehicle Code. We can do traffic stops. We can make drug arrests," Chang said. "We are fully sworn peace officers in the state."
The Department of Fish and Game - its original name - was commissioned by the governor in 1871.
The agency came about as a result of the Gold Rush. Travelers took over wilderness areas and destroyed river systems while poachers targeted too many bears.
"The governor decided there needs to be checks and balances, so he hired peace officers to protect fisheries in the (Sacramento) Delta," Karnow said.
The force has grown from that. But not as fast as some would like.
Back in the 1960s and 70s, the department had good response times and provided adequate public service, said Orange, who started in 1979 and patrolled as a warden for more than 30 years.
But as the state grew, the budget declined and the agency's effectiveness dwindled.
"Not because of officers' quality, but because there's just so few of us," Orange said. "We're not able to adequately serve the public."
California Fish and Wildlife wardens have a jurisdiction that extends 200 miles off the coast and reciprocating authority with Oregon, Nevada and Arizona.
It's acceptable for the wardens to pass over state lines up to 20 miles to follow suspects, Karnow said.
"But we've had investigations that lead us farther," he said. "We've followed somebody all the way to Seattle and let other agencies know we are in pursuit."
That same concept applies to protecting wildlife.
Karnow used waterfowl that fly back and forth from Canada as an example.
"That animal doesn't know what the state line is," he said.

X is slated to tape an hour-long interview with the psychologist on Monday, September 16th, which will air later that day.
The rapper's rep tells XXLMag.com he and Dr. Phil will discuss his faith in God, as well as "other aspects of his life."
DMX has had numerous run ins with the law, the most recent of which occurred just last month.
Fans who will be in the Los Angeles area that day can sign up to be in the audience at DrPhil.com.
DMX raised eyebrows again this week when video emerged of him running nude through the hallway of a Detroit hotel. X's reps brushed off the streaking session as nothing more than a "playful dare" between the rapper and his road manager.

Databody Mention in Hyperallergic Essay
There is an interesting essay, The Migration of Social Exchange, recently posted on Hyperallergic by James Holland. He mentions my Databody piece from spring 2001 (yes, prior to 9/11). Nice that it is still relevant after over a decade. This is a thoughtful piece that ruminates on the changing landscape of what it means to be social.

On February 2nd, 2011 Martina wrote on the subject of Datadial,Organic Search Marketing,Pay Per Click,Social Media.
What to do with organic search results
Firstly, what are 'organic' search results?
Organic search results found in search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo, are those that are not strictly altered by anyone and are not paid for. They are results that appear centre-left on the screen after you put in a search term.
Doesn't organic mean 'pure'?
Yes, it does. This term is ideal because unlike the many paid/sponsored results, the purity of the organic result means that they are free from blatant advertisements pushing a product or service.
Search engines such as Google are great at separating the two. The paid adverts are usually columned off to the right.
So just how important are organic search results?
Very important! In fact 83% of commercial purchases come from them in comparison to paid results. So that's 5/6's of all potential business. Whilst PPC is a competitive and additionally important SEO element, if it only accounts for 1/6 of your overall success then organic results must be made priority.
Okay, so now I know about organic results and PPC results – but I've heard about sponsored or 'paid inclusion' results – what are those?
Paid inclusion is a search engine marketing tool where search engine companies charges fees for the inclusion of particular websites in their search index. These websites are then known as sponsored listings.
This sounds surprisingly similar to PPC…isn't it the same thing?
Well, the line between PPC and paid inclusion is a thin one. Some believe that any paid listings are advertisements (which is essentially what PPC is), while others insist they are not because unlike ads, webmasters do not control the listings content, it's ranking, or even whether it is shown to any users.
Okay to sum this all up, what are the differences between all three?
1. Organic traffic: includes the free-of charge results off to the left side of the page.
2. PPC listings: are the ads typically at the right side of the page. Occasionally they will appear at the top & bottom of pages too. When PPC ads appear above or below organic results in most search engines, they are in a coloured box which helps make it that little bit clearer.
3. Paid inclusion results: are mixed in with regular organic listings however paid inclusion is known to have no effect on relevancy. They are simply blended into the search results anywhere and cannot be easily distinguished from the other search results.
However, some search engines such as Google, feel as though paid inclusion is a conflict of interest with relevancy, this is why they have never had a paid inclusion program.
Okay so back to organic results…how do I improve them?
- Be an expert on your site. Literally know everything you need to know about it – it is extremely likely there will be competition, so that little bit of extra information is what will help you to stand out.
- Research the competition to see how competitive the keywords you are using are.
- After you have found the most effective and unique keywords make sure you include them in your meta-tags, your page title and everywhere you can on the page.
- Submit your site to as many directories as you can find (that are relevant your location) If your services go as far as the South East of London and you are submitting to American directories, you may be found in the USA – but then ignored.
- Each page should have a specific focus – whatever you mention on one page should stay there, no need to keep backtracking, it's repetitive and ideally you want to be found for different things in search engines rather than just the one service/product.
- Search for spam in your keywords and report any you find – you may be able to them removed.
- Build links. This is the most effective element of SEO that exists. If you aren't building links, start!
- Remember that content quality matters much more than quantity. Don't waste any time putting a site together with tonnes of useless or badly planned out information when you haven't got any strategy on what to do with it.

UPLAND -- A fight involving several women escalated into a larger brawl that left three men stabbed and one with stab and gunshot wounds late Wednesday.
Upland police received a call of shots fired at a industrial complex in the 800 block of West Arrow Highway at 9:18 p.m.
About 10 to 15 people had gathered, including a 39-year-old Upland man who was walking away from the area and had been shot and stabbed.
"This group of people was on the street because a couple of the girls were fighting each other," said Upland police Lt. Tony Yoakum.
A man stepped in to intervene, and another, 20-year-old Daniel Flamenco, 20, of Upland allegedly pulled out a gun. Police said one of the victims wrestled with the gun with Flamenco, and it went off.
The victim received gunshot wounds to the chest and arm, and a graze wound to the head.
"The gun came out, then the struggling started, and then the knives came out at that point," Yoakum said.
Flamenco, the gunshot victim and two additional people - a 17-year-old boy and a 36-year-old man, both from Upland - received stab wounds in the melee.
Police discovered Flamenco had gone to a hospital in Montclair for treatment. He was later taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton where he was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Officers booked him into West Valley Detention Center in lieu of $1 million bail.
He is tentatively scheduled to be arraigned in West Valley Superior Court in Rancho Cucamonga on Monday.
The shooting victim was listed in critical but stable condition at an area hospital.
Anyone with information on the incident may call Yoakum at 909-946-7624.

INS Signs Memorandum of Agreement with GSA
September 25, 2000
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON -- The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), Department of Justice, will sign a Memorandum of Agreement with the General Services Administration's (GSA) Public Buildings Service (PBS) to establish a partnership of enhanced real estate services specifically tailored to meet the needs of the INS.
"We are pleased to enter into this partnership with INS. It is a "good government" initiative which will enable them to accomplish their mission even more effectively," said PBS Deputy Commissioner Paul Chistolini.
The partnership agreement includes services for:
real estate planning, acquisition, leasing, administration, and facility management;
project management, cost estimating, and construction management and inspection;
site assessments, site acquisition, and environmental protection (endangered species, cultural resources, environmental impact assessments, asbestos and lead based paint surveys, hazardous substance remediation, and mitigation); and
integrated solutions that are incident to the real estate activities cited above that might include; planning, design, and procurement of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), federal telecommunication services, voice and data, and physical move coordination
There has been a significant need for the expansion of existing INS facilities and construction of new facilities nationwide. This is due to a substantial increases in INS personnel required to enforce the immigration laws of the United States, combined with increased growth in the number of people crossing the U.S. borders, as well as the increased service levels needed to support legal immigrants.
To support this need, the INS has requested the GSA to establish an Executive Real Estate Management Program that will update, streamline, adjust, and standardize real estate services and processes to deliver projects in a more timely and efficient manner. Offices will be established within three of GSA's regions (Boston, MA, Fort Worth, TX , and San Francisco, CA) to implement this program.
These offices will serve as "Gateways" to INS for all their real estate services nationwide; they will provide assistance in acquiring real estate services, information, status, tracking and reporting on all INS projects requested by the three INS administrative centers nationwide. Each Gateway office will have an INS Executive Real Estate program manager responsible for managing and acquiring real estate support and services through the appropriate GSA regional office. Additionally, each of the eleven GSA regional offices will have a regional account manager or designated regional representative who will be responsible for all information regarding INS real estate projects within their region.
Furthermore, a GSA National Account Executive for INS will serve as the Director for the INS Executive Real Estate Management Program and the single point of contact for information at the national level for all real estate services acquired and provided to the INS by GSA.

Gary Cohen is executive vice president at BD (Becton, Dickinson and Co.) and the founder of Together for Girls.
What would Dickinson do if Jones wanted to work in his unnamed strip club?
Dickinson scholar Judith Farr funneled her knowledge into an epistolary novel, I Never Came to You in White.
Attacking Jones, Dickinson said, was a response to how dirty he believes the conservative movement plays.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Dickinson said that he is a life-long Democrat who has always voted blue.
He saw Hickey, first up for the Dickinson, get a base on balls—four wide ones in succession.
But Dickinson, which unquestionably had the better route, lacked a Marquis.
Dickinson recognized the vagueness of the constitutional relations of the colonies to the mother country.
The dream was perfect, and everybody (except the Dickinson Press) was happy.
The railroad counsel retorted that it had been as much Dickinson's fault as his.

UPLAND - Residents living near Memorial Park continue to have problems with some of the homeless people living in the park, after several months of trying to resolve the issue with city officials.
Two residents who live near the park recently addressed council members with their continuing concerns over illegal activity they have seen occur in the park.
"This is an issue that everyone realizes is an issue, but there's no easy solution to the issue," said Upland Police Chief Jeff Mendenhall, who will present the City Council with information on calls for service at the park during the Nov. 26 council meeting.
Resident Phil Montgomery said the homeless continue to leave empty liquor bottles and bags used to hold marijuana in the park. He said the homeless are also defecating in public.
The wooden park benches and tables are being used for firewood, he said.
"There's something wrong. Something needs to be done," Montgomery said.
There was a shooting in the park last month that led to an Upland police officer wounding a man.
The man is a Rancho Cucamonga resident and is in custody, Mendenhall said.
No one was shot at, but shots were fired into the air following an argument between the man and a group of skateboarders, he said.
City staffers were removing belongings left in the park overnight, but stopped following a ruling from the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in September that upheld a decision barring Los Angeles sanitation officials from seizing or destroying unattended property of homeless people living in skid row.
"I know that one thing we've found effective was moving their belongings. They abandoned them or left them and now we're finding that's a problem. We can't do that any more," City Manager Stephen Dunn said. "Every time we make some proactive measure we find that we legally can't do that, and we don't want to be violating people's civil rights."
A Neighborhood Watch meeting was held with nearby residents to help resolve the issues.
Councilman Gino Filippi, who lives near the park, has also met with the residents regarding the homeless.
"I did intend to bring this up tonight whether it's the skate park or park with shots being fired in that area and we're aware of that," he said. "That's a terrible situation."
Filippi asked that Mendenhall provide an update on the situation in the park during the next council meeting.
"And just maybe the chief can go down there and raise some hell or whatever we need to do," he said. "I'm willing to spend time on it."

'Through 76 games, at least one Sabres defenseman has been injured for 69 of them.'
A night of warmth on ice
'"It's something that you absolutely love to help out with," said Lindy Ruff, head coach of the Eastern Conference- leading Buffalo Sabres. "Not only has our organization stepped up, the whole community has."'
A Game of Greater Value
'"An excellent crowd," said officer Brian Griffin, who also skated in the game. "They stepped up to the plate just like I knew they would throughout Buffalo and all of Western New York. It's going to a great cause, because she's going to need a lot of recovering, and a lot of rehabilitation."'

'"Danny is a terrific competitor and a great skater, and some opportunities that he has had, we need him to finish on and that's a great step in the right direction," coach Lindy Ruff said of his goal Wednesday night.'
Ryan back after taking it to next level
'While Ryan was playing a primary scoring role with the Amerks, he found himself in more of a checking role with the Sabres. "I think I showed I could contribute in different situations," said the fourth-year veteran, who made his NHL debut back in November. "Playing with Chris Drury, we were usually against the other team's top line."'
Sabres Alumni Will Play At Arena On Sunday
'The Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena will play host to the Buffalo Sabres Alumni, who will play a benefit hockey game against the Labatt Blue All-Stars on Sunday with the face-off scheduled for 1 p.m.'
Sabres closing in on first conference title since 1980
'With six games left, the Sabres can clinch top spot in the East with two more wins. Next up would be winning the President's Trophy for first place in the NHL standings — the Sabres are currently tied with West-leading Nashville.'
Sabres reign their poise with impressive victory over Devils
'"It definitely helps us with a little bit of our confidence," said Sabres forward Daniel Paille, who broke the tie in his return from a broken finger that shelved him 15 games. "You've just got to be patient. Obviously, it took into the third period to get those last three goals. That's all it has to be – patient and outworking the other team down low."'
Sabres D Lydman ready to return
'Lydman's return would leave the Sabres minus two regulars, right wing Maxim Afinogenov, who's missed 18 games with a broken wrist, and center Tim Connolly, who's not played this season while recuperating from post-concussion symptoms. Both players could be back in time for the first round of the playoffs, which start in two weeks.'
Sabres are beasts of East
'"It was a real good win for our team," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "We had to tone down our style of play, be a lot more patient. I thought we cleaned up a lot of the careless errors, careless turnovers that had been hurting us."'
Miller leads with words and actions
'The Sabres have shown a disturbing tendency to get too cute with the puck after winning a few games, a clear sign they're getting full of themselves. Usually, it's the simple plays that get them going, reminding them that hockey isn't all that complicated when they're not consumed with putting on a show.'

Hello All,
I'm looking for some suggestions regarding the use of SQLninja 2.5
Specifically, when trying to spawn a reverse_tcp shell via netcat connection. I believe the problem is related to sqlninja /scripts or possible the /source directory??? when i try to upload nc via sqlinjeciton "file upload" technique (sqlninja -m upload), prompts me for what file Id like to upload "/usr/share/doc/sqlninja-0.2.5/scripts/nc.scr"
[v] Starting upload module
[v] Deleting any previous instance of nc.scr...
[+] File is already in script format. I won't be able to check
the correct size of the resulting binary
[+] Uploading /usr/share/doc/sqlninja-0.2.5/scripts/nc.scr debug script............
1540/1540 lines written
[v] Checking number of uploaded lines
[v] nc.scr seems to have been properly uploaded
[+] Converting script to executable... might take a while
***but the connection never comes up***
1.) why is sqlninja relying the target to compile nc.scr instead of just sending the executable payload via sql-injection?
I'm not a SQL admin so please excuse the lack of sql knowledge, many thanx for your assistance.
