I certainly agree that if someone has physical access to your firewall
you have more problems than an open console (read: get some physical
security!), but there are certainly situations where people would want
to do it. Especially since you can reset the webGUI password, and it
would probably take the admins a while to realize (who logs into their
production firewall every day? Not many)
But the original person requesting this didn't explain his need for
having it. This is required for ICSA certification, and that person
is working on a project for a government agency or something of the
like that requires all firewall products to be ICSA certified. Not an
uncommon requirement in those types of environments. I won't discuss
the validity of the ICSA nor the products that have "passed"
inspection with holes you could drive a truck through. :) That's
beside the point.
The person who submitted the console lock down patch (I believe it was
that person, I don't remember all the details, sorry) was in #m0n0wall
on IRC a few days ago talking about getting m0n0wall ICSA certified.
The money to get the certification and maintain it would be available
through the project he's currently working on (mentioned above). And
that's the reason for that patch.
With the console open, it would fail this specific ICSA objective:
ST1 – Administrative Access Testing – The Candidate Firewall Product
must demonstrate through testing that no unauthorized control of its
Administrative Functions can be obtained.
m0n0wall would be the only non-commercial ICSA certified firewall if
the project that's considering paying for it worked out. I think it
would be great for the project, give it some 3rd party credibility.
It's not cheap though, at about $25K USD per year to maintain
I was working with a startup firewall company that was looking into
the ICSA and was testing against their criteria, so I have a good
understanding of it. The criteria docs are available on
www.icsalabs.com, though scattered about and a little difficult to
find. I threw them up on my website if anybody is interested in
taking a look. http://chrisbuechler.com/m0n0wall/icsa/

The last, but by no means least of our luscious line-up of speakers, has worked in a HUGE range of disciplines in the creative industries. He's since established himself as a bit of an expert with Kinect, the technology that still, after a few years, seems too cool to be true.
Fredrik Forrest is the Creative Director at innovation agency Obscura Digital Europe. Before his position there, he worked as a commercial film director, animator, designer and creative technologist at Wreck/Major Briggs, Society 46 and Acne Production. His projects range from music videos and TVC's, over digital campaigns, to installations for a range of global clients.
Fredrik's work is driven by an interest in new technologies, and while he is used to leading large creative teams, it is his hands-on approach that allows him to push the envelope.
At CS Sessions, he'll be teach us all about Interaction with Kinect and what is so new and different about the technology. He'll give us some insight into what he's been trying to do with it creatively and why he's so fascinated with using it. What cool stuff he and others came up with when the technology was still completely new and unchartered, and what actually worked. We'll be able to witness a range of examples of stuff that worked, and stuff that didn't.
Fasten your seat belts; this will be your Kinect Crash Course. Secure your ticket here.

The goal should not be to terrify the bejesus out of the public, lest they scrunch their noses and give up.
Just then the first of the long nails in the packing-case began to come out with a scrunch.
She was roused by the scrunch of carriage wheels on the gravel drive.
I reckon old John Bull will scrunch up his fingers in his empty pockets when he comes to hear of it.
There'd be one scrunch and then quite a long pause before the next.
I have found out that you must either scrunch them, or let them scrunch you.
She does not want to listen or talk, she only wants to scrunch betel, and grunt.
No one had ever caught her in his great strong arms in a quick embrace that seemed to scrunch her whole being.
At last the scrunch of a boot on the wet road struck his ear.
The scrunch of the pine-cones crushing under the hoofs of the horses carried a welcome sense of companionship to the riders.
1825, "to bite," intensive form of crunch (v.); ultimately imitative. Meaning "to squeeze" is recorded from 1835 (implied in scrunched). Related: Scrunching.
[ultimately fr late 16th-century scruze, ''squeeze,'' perhaps a blend of screw and squeeze]

I'm Sam from Paris.
I did start my journey a few days ago andI enjoyed reading you!
I will keep following you.
You have been doing very well!

I also started a blog to encourage me and to post my meals.

Hollie, I try to stick to paleo most of the time, okay part of the time. I am not super rigid but I do try to leave out the breads and grains except when I am absolutely craving a potato or something.
Looking good!

Hi! Great to see such positive results. Makes me feel better about my chances to finish my weight loss journey by the end of February. I have 10kg (22 lbs) to go and I made a commitment to do it by the end of next month! I lost 132 already over the course of the last one and a half years and I feel great! Wish you all the best, Emil!

Way to go, Hollie! I've been a reader for quite a while and I've been rooting for you. I don't follow the Paleo lifestyle, but I do try to utilize their basic principles--lean proteins, lots of vegetables and fruit, and (since I couldn't give them up altogether) I try to make my whole grains a side. It makes me feel great, keeps me full, and helps with sugar cravings! Good luck!

WASHINGTON The Government Accountability Office on Wednesday presented to a congressional panel the results of a "secret shopper" investigation, which found that in a number of retail establishments visited, the salesperson made inappropriate or illegal claims about dietary supplements.
The investigation results have drawn response from industry group the Natural Products Association, which said misleading customers is "not acceptable."
"The Natural Products Association has always made clear through numerous channels including educational materials available on our Web site, and education at our tradeshow, that if a retail salesperson is misleading customers, offering medical diagnoses, or making drug claims about supplements, then that is a violation of the law –– no ifs, ands, or buts," stated John Gay, NPA executive director and CEO. "While the findings of the GAO may be explained by turnover common in the retail sector, or by new retailers entering the market unaware of their obligations; any violation of the law is not acceptable."
Accordingly, the NPA has announced an expanded effort to educate and train retailers and their staffs on what can and cannot be said to customers. This effort initially will include the following:
• Development of a "tool kit" for retailers to use to train their staffs;• expanded training programs including live sessions at trade shows, Webinars, and teleconferences;• Partnerships with industry media to broaden the reach of educational materials;• More frequent and regular content on rules for salespeople in NPA publications and communications; and• Development of a dedicated Web page with education and training materials to serve salespeople, retailers, and customers.

Top on-the-go accessories: cases and car gear
Best Case for 5G iPod: VideoShield Kit ($35; Agent 18 )
This was a tough category; we could just as easily have tapped Contour Design's Showcase video for the award. But in the end, Agent 18's VideoShield Kit won us over by providing the most versatile iPod case we've ever seen. The heart of the kit—the case itself—is classic Agent 18: a clear, two-piece polycarbonate shell that protects your iPod without adding a lot of bulk. The bottom edge of your iPod is fully accessible—the case is flush with the bottom edge so you can still use bottom-mounted iPod accessories such as microphones and FM transmitters. But as great as the case is, it's the other three pieces in the kit that set the VideoShield apart. A removable, stainless-steel belt clip offers a sturdy way to carry the case. Or you can swap the belt clip out for a sturdy, flip-out stand that's perfect for watching videos and viewing photos. Finally, Agent 18 has provided the answer to the eternal iPod-case dilemma: how to use your iPod in dock-cradle accessories without removing it from the case. The company includes a Universal Dock adapter specifically made for Video Shield-encased iPods; instead of using the dock adapter included with your 5G iPod, you use the one included with the VideoShield Kit. As we asked when we originally reviewed the VideoShield Kit, why hasn't anyone else thought of this yet?—DF
Best Skin iPod Case: eVo3 for iPod (with video) ($35; iSkin ) and Smooth E for iPod nano ($20; AVA )
A good iPod case is all about balance. On the one hand, you want to keep your precious player safe from scratches, dents, and scuffs. On the other hand, it's a portable music player, not a museum piece—you want to be able to use it for its intended purpose. iSkin's eVo3 manages to achieve this balance with Zen-like harmony. It's really a two-piece case: besides the traditional silicone skin, which wraps and cushions the iPod, there's a hard plastic shield—called the VISOR—made from high-quality, scratch-resistant plastic, that protects the entire front face of the iPod. The Click Wheel remains accessible, and there's even a removable cover for your iPod's dock connector, meaning you can put the iPod in a dock cradle without removing it from its cocoon. The eVo3 might be a little pricier than its competition, but when it comes to keeping your iPod safe, can you really pay too much?
As for the iPod nano, you want a case for your shiny, tiny player, but you don't want to do bulk up its slim profile. AVA's Smooth E has got you—and your nano—covered. This unique skin case is actually rigid: it's a two-piece, hardshell case made of ABS plastic coated with a liquid polymer finish that feels unbelievably smooth. Inside, your nano reposes in felt-lined splendor, protected from the bumps and jostles of everyday life. The bottom of the case is open to let you plug in your headphones and sync the iPod, and a hard piece of clear plastic is integrated in the case's cover to protect your nano's vulnerable display. But the best innovation of the Smooth E is the case's built-in Hold switch; it lines up with the nano's own Hold switch and makes flicking it on and off a breeze. In fact, slipping your nano into the Smooth E might make it hard to tell which is getting more attention: the iPod or its case.—DM
Best iPod Apparel: Power Jacket and Power Hoodie ($150 each; JanSport )
We've seen a good number of iPod-enabled jackets and clothing, but JanSport's Power Jacket and Power Hoodie are the best yet. Made of a water-resistant, soft outer shell with fleece lining, both form-fitting-but-stretchy garments are perfect for active wear; the main difference is that the Power Hoodie adds a lined hood. Your iPod fits in an internal pocket near the jacket's waist, and your headphones connect to a minijack near the jacket's neck; a soft-button pad on the chest lets you control playback and volume. The controls are easy to use—you don't have to reach inside the jacket or fiddle with touch-sensitive buttons—and the jacket is comfortable and attractive, which is more than we can say for many iPod-capable garments.—DF
Best FM Transmitters: TransPod and TransDock micro ($100 and $70 ; DLO )
It's now fairly common knowledge that if you want the best iPod audio your car can provide, you connect your iPod directly to your car's stereo head unit. But if you can't afford it (or spend a lot of time in cars you don't own—and yes, I mean you Ms. Traveling Salesperson) you need an unwired solution: an FM transmitter. We've run nearly all of them through their paces, and two transmitters from DLO come out on top—the $100 TransPod and the $70 TransDock micro . Forget batteries, each charges the iPod through the car's 12v power receptacle (read "cigarette lighter"), each boasts a bright display, each offers three presets for storing your favorite frequencies, and each of them can broadcast to frequencies from 88.1 to 107.9. But then so do lots of other FM transmitters. The difference here is that DLO's transmitters tend to take on stations that others can't—overpowering weaker "standard" radio stations that can produce interference in lesser transmitters. Why choose one over the other? The TransDock micro is $30 cheaper and, thanks to its included USB sync cable, it accommodates all dock-connector iPod models. The TransPod works with other iPods as well, but its cradle more closely hugs a full-sized iPod—and provides a place for your iPod to sit.—CB
Best Car Accessories: flexibleDock ($50; Ten Technology ) and TuneDeck for iPod nano ($50 ; Belkin )
If you don't have an integrated, iPod-compatible audio system in your car, you have to figure out some other way to get your music into your car stereo. But you also have to find a way to keep your iPod from bouncing around your car's interior. We were big fans of Ten Technology's flexDock for the iPod mini; for 2006, the company released a new version, the flexibleDock , that works with all dockable iPods. The base plugs into your car's cigarette lighter jack, which provides both a stable mount point and power for charging your iPod; a sturdy, 6-inch, articulating arm hosts a thick dock-connector cradle which, via one of several included adapters, holds your iPod securely at a visible height. (The flexibleDock even stays in place over rough roads.) A stereo minijack on the base of the flexDock provides audio output for connecting to your car stereo via a standard audio cable or a cassette adapter; dual output levels provide compatibility with most car stereos.
If you've got a first-generation iPod nano and a car with a cassette deck, you'll want Belkin's TuneDeck for iPod nano . This unique accessory combines a cassette adapter with a car mount: you insert the TuneDeck into your stereo's cassette slot, and a sturdy nano-docking cradle protrudes from the stereo, keeping your car free from cable clutter and placing your nano in a safe and convenient location. And because the TuneDeck grabs the higher-quality dock-connector audio signal, rather than the headphone-jack output used by most cassette adapters, it sounds great. (If your iPod's battery is getting low, you can use the included car charger to supply juice, although you lose the cable-free simplicity.) The TuneDeck is a truly unique product that shows the folks at Belkin have been thinking outside the box when it comes to iPod accessories. (Versions of the TuneDeck compatible with second-generation nanos and cassette decks that load cassettes lengthwise are currently in the works.)—DF

Watch The Julianne Moore And Amanda Seyfried Kissing Scene In "Chloe"
Oooh, this movie "Chloe" looks good—and I'm not just saying that because this trailer is in French! Julianne Moore and Liam Neeson play a husband and wife and Amanda Seyfried is the escort whom Moore hires to test her husband's fidelity. But really her fidelity is the one being tested when a smoldering Seyfried seduces the red-headed siren into some girl-on-girl sexytime. Honestly, the Moore/Seyfried kiss isn't that hot … but Amanda Seyfried in pull-up stockings and garters is scorched into my brain.
Really, who needs English?

Dating Don'ts: A Celebrity Primer
The New Year is a time for taking stock, a time for looking back and learning as well as looking ahead towards a richer future, secure in knowing that the lessons we've learned this past year will help us lead a better life in the next.
Obviously, there is no better source for these life lessons than within the annals of celebrity gossip. Celebrities are richer than us, prettier than us, and—with rare exception—skinnier than us. We watch them onscreen and/or listen to their songs—why shouldn't we learn from their mistakes?
Sadly for them, 2009 was a rough year for famous people in relationships. There were more breakups than there were deaths! But luckily for us, there are valuable nuggets of knowledge contained within almost every celebrity split … You aren't going to love the same guy at 30 that you did at 13.
Susie Sprague reportedly had the hots for Corey Feldman since she was a wee child mooning over "Goonies." And while Corey had been an adorable little moppet, his grown-up years were filled with drugs, 12-step programs, and reality TV. Five years and one kid into their marriage, Susie wised up and ditched her Lost Boy. Same goes for Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley, who met and fell in love when she was a teenager — after three years together, she grew up (sorta) and filed for divorce.
Don't date (or marry) your dad.
Yes, I know, there are plenty of May/December romances that work out just fine, but there are going to be issues when your pop-cultural touchstone is "Gossip Girl" and his is "Gilligan's Island." If you don't believe me, just ask Billy Joel and Katie Lee, Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia, Lily Allen and her 45-year-old art dealer ex, or TR Knight and the scandalously younger Mark Cornelsen.
Twitter is not for feuding lovers.
While some were titillated by Lindsay Lohan's foray into lesbianism with DJ Sam Ronson, reading their snitty Twits proved that gay relationships can be every bit as boring and stupid as straight ones.
Crackheads aren't marriage material.
Until their assorted arrests and stints in rehab, Blake "Incarcerated" and Amy Winehouse seemed to have a fairytale romance, but believe me when I tell you the drugs don't work.
There's a one strike rule.
When Chris Brown beat the crap out of Rihanna, it brought home the message that domestic violence can happen to anyone.
Don't be anyone's Pocket Pal.
Just like huge disparities in age, income and education, sometimes the size gap just can't be overcome. Of course I'm speaking of teeny-weeny Christina Ricci and her jumbo-sized ex-fiancé. According to their reps, it was an amicable split due to the usual publicist-generated reasons, but c'mon. If your boyfriend can pick you up with one hand and zip you up in the pocket of his gargantuan windbreaker, it's just not an even match.
Professional athletes are probably going to cheat on you.
I'm sure Elin Nordegren thought she was going to be the exception to this rule. I mean, for one, she's gorgeous. For another, she married the most boring sports star on the planet. Tom Brady—I think we can all imagine him cheating. But Tiger Woods? His college nickname was "Urkel," ferchrissakes.

Modern slavery widespread in India
A new study has put the number of people in modern slavery worldwide at an estimated 29.8 million. India tops the list for nation-wise figures, with almost 14 million people trapped in different forms of slavery.delhi Updated: Oct 17, 2013 22:24 IST
A new study has put the number of people in modern slavery worldwide at an estimated 29.8 million. India tops the list for nation-wise figures, with almost 14 million people trapped in different forms of slavery.
These shocking figures, released in a new Global Slavery Index report, measure debt bondage, forced marriage, sale or exploitation of children, human trafficking and forced labour across the world.
The index, released by the Walk Free foundation, an NGO, ranks India fourth in terms of prevelance of slavery (as a proportion of population). Mauritania, Haiti and Pakistan are ranked above India, in that order. The largest proportion of the problem is the exploitation of people within India itself -- from severe forms of inter-generational bonded labour to the worst forms of child labour to commercial sexual exploitation, and forced marriage.
"We now know that just ten countries are home to over three quarters of those trapped in modern slavery. These nations must be the focus of global efforts," Nick Grono, CEO of the Walk Free Foundation, said in a statement.
Many of India's enslaved have not been moved from one place to another – they are enslaved in their own villages. Earlier this year, the Trafficking in Persons(TIP) report released by the US State department had put the number of people in some sort of forced labour at an estimated 20 to 65 million : men, women, and children mainly in debt bondage to a local landowner, forced to work in industries such as brick kilns, rice mills, agriculture, and embroidery factories.The TIP report cites instances where women and girls from the northeastern states and Odisha have been sold or coerced into forced marriages in states with low female-to-male gender ratios, including Haryana and Punjab and forced into prostitution.
The National Human Rights Commission, in a report last year, highlighted other cases. For Example, in Meghalaya, extraction of coal in private coal mines in the Jaintia Hills region is exclusively undertaken by bonded manual labourers who have come to work in the mines from neighbouring states to beat acute poverty.
Some of the reasons for high numbers caught in slavery in India are the difficulty in accessing protections and government entitlements, such as the food rations card, corruption or non-performance of safety nets (such as the National Employment Guarantee, primary health care and pensions) and practices of land grabbing and asset domination by high caste groups. Some of those affected by slavery in India do not officially exist – they have no birth registration or ID so it can be hard for them to access protective entitlements.

New York Jets rookie safety Calvin Pryor, the team's first-round draft pick, is being evaluated for a concussion after injuring his head during practice Saturday.
Coach Rex Ryan says Pryor was hurt when he collided with a teammate while serving as a punt protector during a special teams drill early in the session. Ryan says the team was still awaiting test results for Pryor, who jogged off the field with a trainer after the play and remained on the sideline for most of the rest of practice.
The injury came on the first day the Jets wore full pads since training camp practices began Thursday.
Pryor, the No. 18 selection out of Louisville, is a likely starter for the Jets opposite either Dawan Landry or Antonio Allen.

After upgrading one of our main firewalls to 1.21, users with PCs joined
to the windows domain using kerberos for Outlook can no longer
authenticate with the Exchange server. If I force Outlook to use NTLM
authentication, everything works fine. Previously we were using version
1.11 and this problem did not exist.
Was anything changed with PPTP in 1.21 that would have caused this, or
is there something I need to do to make this work? Firewall rules for
PPTP are fully open with no restrictions.
Later today I will try to revert back to 1.11 and see if that fixes the
problem, just to be sure it was a version change issue and not something

All about blackjack, and Why is it so Addictive ?
Blackjack is a very simple game if a players is aware of all the nitty-gritty's involved in the game. Here, we are going to look at all the basic information about blackjack. This information would help players to gain a basic understanding of blackjack, which has now become one of the most popular games in both online as well traditional casinos.
The basics of Blackjack:
The basics of blackjack mostly include understanding of the game, rules and plays such as doubling down, side bets, insurance, splitting and so on.
Variations in Blackjack
In blackjack, it is mostly the house, which sets the rules. These rules are mostly same all around the world. However, blackjack do contains various significant variations, which a player must be aware of before playing the game of blackjack.
The chances of winning in Blackjack
The chances of winning in blackjack depend heavily, through which the players are able to 'adjust' the house rules. For this, the players need to be aware about the odds.
The main motive behind playing blackjack is making money. Thus, a person needs to be aware about all the rules, strategies and fundamentals of the game to make the most out of the blackjack game and make more and more money.
Slot machines – amoung the most addictive games of all
The slot machine is maybe the easiest game to play at a casino. It's easier than roulette - and that's something, trust me. It can also be an incredibly rewarding game, but it has a catch: the most frequent wins are usually below the amount spent by the player for a spin, so even if you feel like you are winning, your funds are actually decreasing quickly.
You just keep playing, and don't understand how your funds have melted without you noticing. The game is not just rewarding, but also available in an incredible variety. There are hundreds, if not thousands of online video slot machines available in online casinos, and many others can be found outside them. Even Zynga, the world famous Facebook game developer, has not one, but two collections of slot machines available for its users, that feel and look real (except for the money, that one is virtual).
Every slot machine fan can find at least one game to play with pleasure. It is easy to become addicted to slot machines because they are fun to play even with no money involved. I consider myself a fan, and play them with regularity. My brother asked me once "Why do you like playing this stupid game"? Well, to be honest, I don't know. There is something that attracts me to the slots, although I can't really put my finger on it. That is why I control my playing habits and resist the urge to play more often: to avoid becoming an addict.
Gambling addiction is a severe disorder, and it has to do with winning. Actually, problem gamblers are not addicted to the game itself, but to winning. It is similar to other impulse control disorders, such as kleptomania, and people who suffer from ludomania (the medical name of it) are also likely to develop other similar mental disorders, like drug related problems, personality disorders and similar.
A problem gambler can harm himself, his family and friends, and ruin his life entirely. First it's his own paycheck that goes down the drain, but later it is followed by money borrowed from family and friends. The addict first sells everything he can, taking the money straight to a casino, but later - at a more serious stage - he will steal and rob as well, just like a drug addict would.
My advice to you is that if you think of gambling too often, feel the urge to play at any time of the day, or notice any other symptom of addiction on yourself, seek help and avoid casino games as far as you
Gambling Addiction
Therefore, a casino that takes responsible gambling seriously will have clear policies that are in line with the casino's licensing guidelines and those established by international accreditation agencies such as eCogra. Part of this responsible approach will include providing players with support and access to services in order to address problems, such as online links or freephone telephone numbers to charities and gambling support organisations that help to counsel problem gamblers.
In addition, online casinos should offer players self-exclusion periods (minimum 6 months) and cooling off periods (minimum 24 hours) as a means of enabling players who identify themselves as having a problem time away from the casino in order to seek help. As further support, a reputable online casino will also help players to establish limits on the amount of money they can deposit into their accounts (either daily, weekly or monthly) or, if necessary, work with a player or to lock their accounts (or the accounts of family members) for set periods of time.
A further part of a casino's responsible gaming policy also concerns their approach to under-age gambling. Therefore, players should only play at casinos that have verification checks when they open a new account, so the casino can check the person opening the account is over 18 years of age. A casino that doesn't have these checks in place is not one that can be trusted to take its responsibilities to tackling gambling addiction seriously. In addition, a casino with a proper responsible gambling policy will also provide its players with links where they can download filters that stop children from accessing gaming sites. As an example of an online casino that has an effective and clear responsible gaming policy, players are advised to visit Online Casinos.
Online gaming is intended to be a fun and enjoyable pastime, but the industry does recognise that in some instances players play with money they can't afford, or find themselves unable to control their gambling to the extent that it becomes an addiction. In this situation, reputable online casinos have mechanisms in place that can help a player to prevent their problem from growing worse, and so players should always avoid online casinos that don't take their responsibilities in this regard seriously.
If you are concerned that you might face a potential problem with an addiction to gambling, there are some very useful guidelines to bear in mind. Remember that gambling in an online casino is meant to be a form of entertainment, not an income. If you do play online, than please visit the Home Page for more guidelines on safe play, and keep track of how much money and time you spend, and don't play with money you can't afford or chase your losses.
The Growing Trend of Mobile Gambling
Recently, this has taken a further step than just at home on your computer. Like everything else, gambling is becoming a mobile concept. Whether you're updating your fantasy team on the go or putting in a bet on the big game, there are apps and websites that allow all kinds of bets to be placed from wherever you are.
International online gambling revenues are valued at $32 billion (that's billion with a B) and are estimated by Juniper Research to exceed $100 billion by 2017. This doesn't specify the percentage of which that is done from mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets. Currently, Zynga, the company responsible for such games as Farmville and its ilk, Maffia Wars and Words with Friends launched a real money gambling site in the U.K. in 2012 which had 770 million Euro in revenue inthat year. Several international sports book companies have several legal agreements in the US that allow them to operate in the country while based overseas.
Back in 2005 The Guardian reported about the growing mobile gaming trend. In the article it states, "Java-enabled graphics, colour-filled screens, technology that invoices on the monthly phone bill, and 3G networking combine to provide a service that rivals traditional gambling methods." If this is true, then why haven't we heard of any mobile gambling apps in the states in the nine years since the report?
Federal Prohibition
In 2006 the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was signed into law and used to aggressively pursue several online gambling groups. One of the most notable cases was U.S. v. Scheinbergin which PokerStars online casino and two other defendants settled with prosecutors for the forfeiture of more than $731 million. These actions all but shuttered the internet gambling business and preempted the possibility of mobile, real-money gaming in the USA. This is largely because the internet is inherently available across state lines. However, there are signs that mobile gaming will eventually come to involve real-money gambling.
State Based Legality
States like New Jersey, Delaware and Nevada have gotten around this prohibition through a minor loophole. The UIGEA doesn't regulate internet casinos that operate entirely within the boundaries of an individual state. Slate reports on the formation of an agreement between Delaware and Nevada that allows residents of either state to use sites that are operated in each other's borders.
Slate goes on to predict that other states will be interested in establishing their own legal online casinos and seek to join the agreement. If this comes to pass it would create a situation in which developers could create applications that will utilize this framework in any states that join the party. From there, the UIGEA would be applicable only to states that decline to join and create a situation that de facto eliminates the agreement.
If this is all true, the creation of online casinos accessible by smart phone or tablet application is around the corner and dependent on the willingness of state legislators. There would be a distinct willingness on the part of many game developers like Zynga, or anyone in the $12-billion mobile gaming industry, to create a programming framework for the states by which this could happen. Currently, it's great news for anyone who wants to gamble outside of a brick and mortar casino in places like New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware but will likely come to include those who want to game on the go in those locations.
Overall, the outlook is good for anyone who's interested in mobile online gaming as it promises to grow as individual states seek to get a piece of the pie. However, in spite of the unavailability of mobile gaming, or online gaming in general, in most locations there are still several poker and sports betting sites, to use. Interstate gambling may come to be a powerhouse as people continue to get access to it but there also may be a fight to be had between the Federal government and state governments regarding the potential application of UIGEA to these new interstate agreements.

The Funny Bingo Card
Bingo cards are the fun accessories people use when they are getting ready to play an exciting round of the game. In many versions, especially the most well-known classic version played in schools and church basements across the country, the cards are premade and are given at random to participants. In other versions, the players may have more say over what letter and number combinations are represented on their cards.
While many cards come on a standard stock piece of paper with plain backgrounds and slots labeled with numbers and letters such as E7 or G8, sometimes game players enjoy designing or ordering fun cards to celebrate particular occasions or just to make the game more entertaining. Here are a few popular versions that have been used.
Road trip Bingo
Keeping children, and even some adults entertained during a long trip in the car can be difficult. It is even harder when the questions of "are we there yet?" begin before the trip is even halfway completed, or when a chorus of "99 bottles of beer on the wall" begins and cannot be drowned out by the radio. In either scenario, various versions of road trip bingo can be the perfect solution. The pictorial representations of the slots make it easy for children and adults of all ages to play, and the competition helps to keep it interesting. The participants look to cross items off on their cards by spotting them out the window as they travel, with the first to reach bingo is the victor.
Award Show Bingo
Although shows such as the Academy Awards and the Oscars already come with a long list of drinking games and other entertaining ways to pass the time, bingo is another great option. The variety of bingo cards that can be played include spaces with clues such as "winner claims to have not prepared a speech", or "Sean Connery sighting". They are entertaining ways to keep an entire party laughing and having a good time throughout the show.
Bingo for landmark events or interviews
One popular bingo card that popped up on the radar was displayed during the famous interview of Lance Armstrong by Oprah. Many people tuned in to see if they would finally be able to get 'the truth' about what was going on. Since many people also felt that the whole situation was a little ridiculous, given the number of years that had passed, the number of lies and investigations done over the years, the bingo card was generated to give people an opportunity to have a little fun while watching the moment in history.Jackpotjoy bingo not only is an entertaining game in itself, it also can be used to provide entertainment and poke fun at various events and situations. People enjoy being able to have a light hearted laugh, and these entertaining, original bingo cards provide just that opportunity. You can check bingo sites comparing and much more.
The Time is Right for Gambling Addiction Treatment
With substance abuse, there are undeniable physical signs of addiction. The effects of compulsive gambling are more subtle. The attack is directed more towards psychology and the wallet. Of course, the results of any kind of addiction includes loss of family, friends, money, personal belongings, safety, freedom and/or self-respect.
It is very important to be careful not to condemn the gambling industry because of issues related to compulsive gambling. Gambling is perfectly legal and a legitimate form of entertainment for those people who can do it responsibly. There will always be individuals who are prone to some type of compulsive behavior and the excitement produced by gambling lends itself to someone losing control.
Gambling is not going away anytime soon. In fact, the availability of gambling is increasing exponentially as more jurisdictions legalize all forms of gambling as a means of garnering tax revenues. What is needed to counteract the possible effects of gambling on society and the compulsive gambler is education and an increase in treatment options.
It is incumbent on gaming providers and lawmakers to help educate the public on the possible signs and effects of problem gambling. There must be a willingness on the part of gaming providers to say "no" to potential compulsive gamblers, much the same way as a bartender will say "no" to a drunk. On top of that, responsible gambling should be promoted and gaming providers should try to discourage gamblers from gambling and betting too much. There also needs to be laws in place to help family members protect their addicted love ones from creating more destruction in their lives.
The most important improvement needed is the availability of treatment options for compulsive gamblers. There are numerous support groups such as Gamblers Anonymous that provide some support and guidance for people who are combating a gambling problem, But, these groups are not prepared to deal with the psychological and personal aspects of the disease. The world is desperately in need of more trained mental health professionals to help address the causes and effects of this disease. This need extends to the need for more inpatient facilities for the treatment of gambling addiction.
There are no quick fixes to problem gambling for the individual inflicted with this horrible disease. The treatment and arresting of this disease will require unrelenting diligence plus the undying support of family friends and a responsible gambling industry that cares about more than the bottom line.
Unique Gambling addiction treatment options
If you are one of those people who is suffering from gambling addiction and are looking for ways that will help you to get rid of the condition, then you must know that there are several treatment options available, which help you to get rid of your condition. Some of the treatment options that help to eliminate this unique disorder are discussed below: Self-control: This is in fact one of the proven and the best treatment option that an individual suffering from gambling addiction can follow. When you have control on your impulse about gambling, then half the battle is won as you will yourself stop visiting gambling shops and will bring yourself out of the condition. Support Groups: The best way to get rid of gambling addiction is to join support groups that help people to get rid of their gambling addiction. There are various support groups, which work collectively and help people suffering from gambling addiction to come out of their condition. Socialize: There is no better alternative to come out of your gambling addiction then to socialize. Socializing helps you to divert your mind from gambling and automatically brings you out of your condition. These unique treatment options when followed can help you to get rid of your condition. You can try online gambling, which is a enjoyable yet safe and responsible, and operates in a controlled environment.
Attributes of Gambling Addiction
Getting to grips with the Basics of Online Bingo
However, the idea of playing online can be quite off-putting to those without a tech-know-how, and can therefore take the fun out of the game. But if you arm yourself with a few handy tips, you can soon get to grips with the basics and will be playing online bingo like a pro in no time.
We've out together a few tips and ideas for doing just that so that you'll be clicking along, shouting 'HOUSE!' with the rest of them in lighting speed!
Know the key differences
The fact is, there aren't actually many differences between the two forms of the game. The main and most obvious of course is the fact that one is played virtually and one takes place in a bingo hall. The basic principles are the same and the rules are generally the same, yet instead of marking off the numbers yourself, the computer will usually do it for you (though many sites offer you the option for you to change this and do it yourself manually). The numbers are drawn randomly when using a reputable site that use a Random Number Generator (RNG).
Learn the bingo lingo
Learning the 'bingo lingo' is a great idea for getting more out of the game in terms of actual player experience and cash rewards. Experienced players will use keyboard shortcuts and bingo slang to chat quickly with other players and this can be a great way of communicating as well as learning about upcoming rooms, sites and cash opportunities. Why not get clued up with bingo lingo ?
Take advantage of the online communities
As briefly mentioned above, getting involved with the online bingo community can be useful for a number of reasons and can be highly beneficial when developing your own game. It can give you that social aspect of the game that is so appealing in the traditional form of bingo, as you can chat on things like user forums, web chats and chat rooms with other players. This is also one of the tactics that some of the bingo pros use to get ahead of the game and learn all about new opportunities, as you can share tips and tricks of new sites, rooms and offers across the web. You can talk to people from all over the globe online which is an advantage you certainly wouldn't get in a bingo hall! Some users would also most likely be more than happy to help you out if you are struggling which can be a lot quicker than asking the actual site for assistance.
More Like Gaming Than Gambling
Lottery tickets have always been freely available in most countries, apart from those US states and Arab nations where gambling is illegal, but even those areas now enjoy opportunities to play the game, thanks to the availability of lottery tickets online. Websites offer a dedicated online lottery page, enabling Arab citizens to join in the game and enjoy winning chances from many international lotteries.
Spending Less to Win More
Buying lottery tickets online is also popular due to the extras available which can bring more tickets for the money and reduce that overall spend on the game. Even in places where there are plenty of lottery booths and no restrictions, more lottery players are choosing to make purchases online to access bonuses, such as extra tickets, discounts for buying more tickets or for having a regular payment method set up. A traditional store selling lottery tickets only offers the set price per ticket and cannot match this kind of offer, so accessing the online method is not just an extra bonus in itself to players from Arab nations, it can also bring additional bonuses for everyone.
Reducing the Gambling Risk
Buying a lottery ticket online can also reduce the risk of gambling addiction, as a limit can be set for a monthly payment to purchase a chosen number of lottery tickets. These tickets are then entered into the chosen international lottery draw. Sites allow you to set your limit and you only pay for the tickets you purchase for your chosen draw – there's no e-wallet of bonuses which can only be spent on gambling. It's then a case of waiting for the numbers to be drawn and hopefully a celebratory email to arrive, rather than drawing on funds you may not have, enabling players to avoid feeding traditional gambling appetites which tend to become all-encompassing in the heat of the conventional online gambling moment.
Increasing the Chance of a Win from an Online Lottery Ticket
Finally, having an online lottery ticket also increases your chances to win through having a legitimate claim because you, along with your tickets, are in the system. Playing the lottery game can be kept a purely personal pleasure as there's no ticket left laying around! It also means the ticket can't be lost or picked up and claimed by someone else - because those numbers are registered to you in your purchase via the online system. As long as you keep checking your emails, you can be sure of being notified of a win, even if you've been unable to check your numbers yourself!
So, for a winning edge using technology and the freedom of accessing the local lottery games of other nations, Arab citizens are turning to online lottery tickets as a favoured way to play responsibly whilst gaining extra chances to win for doing so!

It Is Time For Judicial Delays And Interventions To Stop
Legislative column from Assembly Minority Leader Brian M. Kolb (R,I,C-Canandaigua)
June 10, 2011
On Wednesday, June 8, State Supreme Court Justice Donna Siwek lifted the temporary restraining order she originally imposed back on Tuesday, May 10, that had prevented the State Department of Taxation and Finance from moving forward with collecting taxes on cigarettes sold on Native American lands to non-Native American Indians. The Judge's action was a victory for the rule of law. In short, it meant that after almost 17 years of endless legal maneuvering and costly courtroom battles this issue was finally nearing conclusion. And not a moment too soon! Judge Siwek's decision to lift her temporary restraining order sidetracked what appeared to be a legal strategy to stall, delay and deny New York State from moving forward with enforcing the law, collecting the tax and leveling the playing field. The fact that the plaintiffs (the Seneca Indian Nation) were no longer arguing on the substance of the matter – whether the taxes could legally be collected – and instead focused on the Department of Taxation and Finance's procedure for collecting the taxes – showed this legal gambit had reached the end of the line. U.S. SUPREME COURT RULED – 17 YEARS AGO – THAT NEW YORK STATE COULD ENFORCE THE LAW AND COLLECT THE TAXES The record is clear: the plaintiffs had their day in federal and state court. In fact, they had multiple days over multiple years, stretching all the way back to 1994 when the United States Supreme Court ruled in its Attea decision that New York State had the legal authority to collect sales taxes on cigarettes sold on Native American lands to non-Native American Indians. It has been 17 years since that landmark court decision. Since then, local governments and taxpayers have borne literally millions in legal costs, countless mom-and-pop convenience stores were forced to close because their competitors were not following the law, and New York State lost billions in revenue. Money that could have been collected and used to help fund education, deliver real property tax relief, improve health care, or repair critical infrastructure is gone forever because of unnecessary legal delays. That is a shame. YET ANOTHER JUDICIAL INTERVENTION Unfortunately, the good news from Judge Siwek's action was short lived. On Thursday, June 9, less than 24 hours after Judge Siwek's ruling, State Appeals Court Judge Jerome Gorski delayed the state's enforcement of tax collections until Monday, June 20. It was troubling, but not unexpected, that yet another appeal was granted. Much like the plaintiffs' previous legal maneuvering, this latest appeal is without merit and should be dismissed. Our legal system affords the right to an appeal, but there are reasonable, common sense limits. The appeals process was designed to ensure justice, not to indefinitely avoid justice. Keep in mind that the United States Supreme Court, Federal Court of Appeals, U.S. District Court, New York State Supreme Court, and New York State Court of Appeals all have ruled in favor of the state's legal authority to collect sales taxes on cigarettes sold on Native American lands to non-Native American Indians. LEGAL PROCESS IS NOT A GAME Our legal process is not a game. It must not be treated as such. Fortunately, the decision to go forward with enforcing the law and collecting the taxes rests with Governor Cuomo and State Department of Taxation and Finance Commissioner Mattox. They should know that their actions are 100 percent supported by Legislative Leaders like me, along with taxpayers, businesses and an overwhelming majority of New Yorkers who still believe in the rule of law. FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT FOR UPSTATE As the only Legislative Leader in state government speaking out on this issue – and the sole Leader representing upstate – I have been honored to be at the forefront of a growing coalition of upstate taxpayers, businesses, labor groups and local officials who strongly support enforcing the law, collecting the taxes, and leveling the playing field. No matter how long it takes, I will not stop fighting until the rule of law carries the day and the interests of upstate are protected. That is my promise to you. As always, constituents wishing to discuss this topic or any other state-related matter should contact my district office at (315) 781-2030, or e-mail me at email@example.com.

Of *course* it's a bad idea to use anything but low-level protocols to
confirm connectivity. But if you read the first three messages in
this thread, you'll see that Adrian has connectivity between the local
networks. The problem is that SMB-based browsing isn't working;
that's the question I answered.
Hmmm...just took a closer look at Adrian's question & first response.
You're right; it's not clear that he has IP connectivity. I jumped
the gun; mea culpa.
Adrian: ignore everything I said until you confirm that you have
connectivity between the computers on your internal networks. Easiest
is "ping", assuming you're not blocking it on the PC you're trying to
reach. You should ping by IP address first; when this works, you have
IP connectivity between the nodes. Then, try to ping by name; when
this works, you have DNS name resolution working properly.
There's another thread on this mailing list that confirms that
popluating your client PCs' hosts files will work for SMB-based
browsing, on Windows 2000 and newer machines.

Bianco was only too aware of the criticism that the scene and its ilk engendered, and expected it.
In person, Bianco is striking: graceful and porcelain-skinned, a soigné swan.
Yet Bianco thinks that the objectification of women in situations like these is not really relevant anymore.
With the "Bianco mangiare," our familiarity with "blanc-mange," seems at first sight to make us more at home.
Bianco is young and giddy, but full of talent when he chooses to apply it.
I gave poor Bianco and Lily some nice lettuce leaves just here under the tree.
Miss Bianco is remarkable now; and she will be what she will be.
Bianco was very tame, but Lily was a little shy, and kept in the background, and did not allow her nose to be rubbed.
As to the Bianco of 1448, we may here add a word to what has been already said.
Bianco ran all the risk; the other had nothing to do but sit at home and receive his share of the profits.

* TSX falls 21.28 points, or 0.17 percent, to 12,754 * Nine of 10 main sectors decline. * BlackBerry shares volatile after former co-CEO sells stake * Barrick climbs 4.1 percent after results By John Tilak TORONTO, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index dropped on Thursday as data showed Europe falling deeper into recession and energy stocks declined, offsetting a rise in Barrick Gold Corp as investors found a silver lining in a sharp quarterly loss reported by the world's biggest gold miner. Encana Corp, Canada's largest natural gas producer, dropped 4.6 percent after it offered a 2013 production target for oil and natural gas liquids that was lower than expected. Falling oil prices further weighed on Canadian oil and gas shares. The market tracked data that showed the German economy contracted by 0.6 percent in the last three months of 2012, its worst performance since the global financial crisis was raging in 2009. The French economy contracted 0.3 percent, a slightly worse performance than expected. The figures made 2012 the first full year since 1995 in which no quarter produced economic growth in the euro zone. "Europe still has big problems. The fact that it appears to be going deeper into a recession should impact the global markets and Canada is not going to be excluded," said Michael Sprung, president of Sprung Investment Management. At late morning, the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 21.28 points, or 0.17 percent, at 12,754. Nine of the 10 main sectors on the index were in the red. The energy sector lost almost 1 percent and played the biggest role in leading the market lower. In company news, Blackberry's former co-chief executive, Jim Balsillie, disclosed that he had sold his once-sizable stake in the embattled smartphone maker. Shares of BlackBerry, which launched its make-or-break BlackBerry 10 smartphone last month, initially slipped on the news before climbing 1.1 percent to C$14.15. "The stock is more of a speculation than an investment at this point," Sprung said. "You're going to see huge volatility in BlackBerry until it becomes apparent one way or the other whether (BlackBerry 10) is a success or not." The index's materials sector, which includes mining stocks, gained 0.6 percent, benefiting from earnings results and higher gold prices. Barrick Gold reported a fourth-quarter loss after booking a $3.8 billion charge to write down the value of its copper mine in southern Africa. But shares of the world's biggest gold miner added 4.1 percent to C$33.02 as profit before special items beat market expectations. Another big gainer was Kinross Gold Corp, which on Wednesday reported higher fourth-quarter revenue. The stock was up 4.7 percent at C$8.28.

An attorney for Ben Roethlisberger said Thursday the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback was disappointed by the length of his conditional six-game NFL suspension but willing to he "held accountable."
In an interview on ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning, attorney David Cornwell also said Roethlisberger wants to remain a Steeler, despite speculation about him possibly being traded.
"I think the reality is that what's been portrayed, at least to our understanding, in the media (about a trade) is not really where the Steelers' head is," Cornwell said.
"Ben wants to be part of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and we believe the Pittsburgh Steelers want Ben to be part of that organization," added Cornwell, who represents Roethlisberger in league matters.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced Wednesday that Roethlisberger will be suspended the first six games of the season. He could reduce it to four if Roethlisberger completes mandatory behavioral evaluation by medical professionals and follows any counseling plan that may be recommended.
Goodell's ruling followed a March 5 sexual assault complaint filed against Roethlisberger by a 20-year-old college student in Georgia. A local DA said last week no criminal charges would be filed in the case, but Roethlisberger was disciplined by Goodell under the league's personal conduct policy.
"Obviously, he (Roethlisberger) was disappointed by the number of games," said Cornwell. " ... But throughout this process he knew that in addition to the legal issues we were confronting here in Georgia, we were definitely going to have to deal with the commissioner. ... And very early on (Roethlisberger) made the commitment to be held accountable for his conduct."
Cornwell said that in a prior discussion with Goodell the commissioner had raised the possibility of an "indefinite" suspension.
"I understand that he may have expressed to the Rooneys (Steelers' owners) that 8-10 (games) was in the realm of possibility," said Cornwell.
The attorney added, "We had hoped that four would be the starting point, and that Ben would be able to work it down to two."
Cornwell said he is sure Roethlisberger will meet the requirements to get the suspension reduced.
"As far as we're concerned, this is a four-game suspension," said Cornwell. "Ben is going to meet the conditions and then some to get back the right to get on the field." -- Gary Mihoces
