Time for might to set things right

It will take true bravery to improve our military justice system, warns Michelle Grattan.
Military men are supposed to be brave guys, aren't they? Then how come Peter Cosgrove didn't hold a media conference after a Senate committee last week delivered a scathing indictment of Australia's military justice system?
Cosgrove, outgoing chief of the Australian Defence Force who retires next week, issued a short statement, followed by a brief comment. He's keeping his retirement interviews select.
The cross-party Senate committee had taken issue with the nation's top military man, who had argued the military justice system was sound ("even if it has sometimes not been applied as well as we would like") and effective.
The senators unanimously said that, on the evidence, they couldn't agree. That included harrowing tales of people driven to suicide, of bullying and humiliation, of injustices, incompetence and bad culture. "Culture" is critical to how an organisation handles itself. We've been hearing a lot about bad culture in sections of the Immigration Department leading to bad outcomes. In the same way, the culture of the military causes many of the problems in how people are treated - and how justice, on occasion, goes missing.
Getting the right culture in the armed forces is always going to be a challenge, making changing the Immigration Department look a pushover. One reason is that the work of the military forces inevitably involves violence, real or simulated. As Cosgrove told the inquiry, "unfortunately, military operations may frequently involve death and destruction".
He went on to say, correctly, that "morality and legitimacy of action" were "core ADF qualities". At the heart of things is: how do you get discipline and obedience, and encourage toughness and endurance, while upholding individual rights and promoting morality?
The committee found that sometimes the values of loyalty, trustworthiness and solidarity can take on a form that has little tolerance of individual difference or vulnerability. Abuse at Singleton - including bastardisation, harassment and bullying that resulted in the suicide of one young soldier - was "a manifestation of this culture in the guise of weeding out the weak from the strong".
Alarmingly, the committee "received evidence that suggests that although the military culture fosters a strong sense of solidarity and loyalty, it also has the potential to create blind spots in the institution and its members, particularly among higher-ranking officers . . .
"So much of the evidence received repeatedly shows that the culture of the ADF seems to encourage an approach that downplays, dismisses or ignores the existence of inappropriate conduct."
No one would underestimate the difficulties defence chiefs have in getting the right culture balance. The way to go, however, is not to assume that everything is always going to be hunky dory, or - if you can get away with it - to cover up mistakes or breaches of proper conduct. Time magazine recently highlighted an apparently botched Special Air Service operation during the war in Afghanistan in which civilians were killed. Although the Australians were found to have acted in accordance with their rules of engagement, some disciplinary action was initiated over an Australian souveniring items from a dead villager. The mistakes and misbehaviour only came to public view long after the event - and as a result of media reporting.
Prime Minister John Howard, when questioned about the incident, simply reaffirmed that the SAS was a "fantastic unit" and brushed aside suggestions of a cover-up - reportedly alleged by the SAS patrol leader, who has since left the army. It is very easy for military mistakes to be buried, literally or figuratively. The military is protected by multiple armour. What it does is shrouded in secrecy and patriotism. To demand accountability can easily be cast as letting down our boys and girls. Much about operational matters is not and cannot be disclosed for security reasons. But that can also be used as, or become, a way of hiding misadventures or misdemeanours.
The reaction to the military justice report will be a test of the power of the military in general, the new chief of the ADF, Angus Houston, in particular, and Defence Minister Robert Hill, who yesterday was confronted with another newspaper report of a young soldier fleeing alleged bullying.
Hill has insisted on an early response from the military. He is also having work done within his office on what changes are needed - looking in particular at how things operate in Canada, where the military has moved to a more independent judicial system that is outside the chain of command.
Publicly, Hill has been warning against an overreaction, casting doubt on contracting out to the civilian system of justice. Equally, Hill is determined that if the military wants the system kept within the chain of command, it has to prove that it can take responsibility for fixing problems - which it has not done in cases like Singleton.
The families of those who have been badly treated will be looking for tangible signs that reforms are being made. But these cannot be just structural. While complex and difficult, they will in fact be the easiest to do. The much harder thing is to alter the ethos. The first test of that will be whether the military tries to "snow" the minister or confronts its problem.

Hey guys and gals,I am fairly new to PHP, taught myself the basics for my company but struggling, so I used Usercake to create a secure login page as the one I wrote was terrible, SQL injections the works.
Now I am a little bit more experienced, but I am trying to set it so that the IP address can be used for verification, basically my boss only wants people to log in when they are on the specific IP address. We know the IP addresses will not change.
I know that
is probably the thing I need, the question is how I am to store it..
I have tried several times, but because I do it on usercake which I did not write, it seems to have a massive spaz.
Here is an example of the register script:
if (!empty($_POST)) {
$errors = array();
$email = trim($_POST["email"]);
$username = trim($_POST["username"]);
$displayname = trim($_POST["displayname"]);
$password = trim($_POST["password"]);
$confirm_pass = trim($_POST["passwordc"]);
$captcha = md5($_POST["captcha"]);
if ($captcha != $_SESSION['captcha']) {
$errors[] = lang("CAPTCHA_FAIL");
if (minMaxRange(5, 25, $username)) {
$errors[] = lang("ACCOUNT_USER_CHAR_LIMIT", array(
if (!ctype_alnum($username)) {
$errors[] = lang("ACCOUNT_USER_INVALID_CHARACTERS");
if (minMaxRange(5, 25, $displayname)) {
$errors[] = lang("ACCOUNT_DISPLAY_CHAR_LIMIT", array(
if (!ctype_alnum($displayname)) {
$errors[] = lang("ACCOUNT_DISPLAY_INVALID_CHARACTERS");
if (minMaxRange(8, 50, $password) && minMaxRange(8, 50, $confirm_pass)) {
$errors[] = lang("ACCOUNT_PASS_CHAR_LIMIT", array(
and here is my sql table field..
13 ipaddress int(10) UNSIGNED Yes NULL
any help would be great please.
You won't be able to store an IP address in an integer field.. the field will need to be varchar(15), as the maximum length of an IP address is going to be 15 chars and it'll have to be stored as a string because it's not a valid numerical format.
Thanks for heads up, have changed it
now just to work out how to get it into it..
Unless you are doing simple compares like $current_ip == $db_ip dealing with the "dotted quad" format could get messy.
You can change them to an Int. I forgot how and I couldn't find the old post or the code I used, but @paul_wilkins; should remember how.
Something likefirst*10^[sup]3[/sup] + second*10^[sup]2[/sup] + third*10 + fourth
http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/IP2Integer.jsp - Looks like your right. I'm not sure how you would handle IP ranges though. I wonder if this does allow for a simple greater / less than logic to be applied to it.
Thanks for finding that. I wouldn't have found "octet" searching for "quad".And it is 256 not 10. I think in base 10 and sometimes forget computers think in bits.
As for being easier, I guess it depends on what you want to do with them.Strings work fine for simple compares.
For more it becomes tricky and messy quick, using split, array functions, regex, etc. to work with ranges.
When a user registers, I need the IP address to be stored in the SQL db, when the user tries to log back on I need the IP to be validated. Little confused as to how to do it.
The reason I wanted to get away from the "dotted quad" format was because I wanted to sort the IPs and they didn't sort well at all that way.
Sounds like you're thinking of a simple comparison though so you're lucky there.
One potential problem you should think about is changing IPs
Many ISPs use more than one IP for example MyISP might use 111.122.123.xxx where xxx is anything from 0 to 255And they might even have more than one range. eg. not only 111.122.123.xxx but also 57.34.22.xxx where xxx is anything from 0 to 50
The point is, many legitimate users might have registration IPs that differ from their current one they're using.
Thanks Mitt,
thankfully the people we work with are going to have Static IPs no matter what, they will never change them unless planned. We also have a very niche customer base so not too worried about the average user

FORMER Crackerjack presenter Stu Francis is hosting a one-off charity gig featuring the Happy Mondays.
The comic, who lives in Smithills, will join DJs including former Joy Division and New Order bassist Peter "Hooky" Hook, Hacienda legend Graeme Park and spoken word performer Mike Garry, for the cabaret show.
Shaun and Paul Ryder, from Little Hulton, along with maracas-shaking Bez, and the rest of the band, will take to the stage at the Palace Theatre in Manchester for a one-off never-seen-before set. The event, which takes place on July 25, has been organised for Paul Ryder's brave 12-year-old son who is in remission for a rare form of tissue cancer.
Money raised from Chico's Kicking Cancer Fundraising Ball, will help fund Chico's physiotherapy as well as a donation to The Christie hospital in Manchester.
Those who attend the star-studded black tie event, organised by Mickey Martin's International Cabaret, will be treated to a four course meal and top entertainment throughout the night.
The Crush a Grape star said: "I tell you what, I never realised how many friends I had since being asked to do this. Everybody wants to carry my bag or drop me off.
"Seriously though, yes, I have been asked to host the event, alongside some fantastic names in music like Peter Hook and Graeme Park, and I can't wait.
"I'm really looking forward to it. Apart from being a fan of the band, it's going to be a night of pure nostalgia too. It's a one off gig that you won't have seen before, and probably won't again.
"As well as being a part of something so special, the night will be raising money for Paul's son and the Christie hospital, which are both great causes."
A spokesman for the event said: "The band wanted Stu as he's the perfect host for the event.
"Forget about all the other comics — it's fair to say that Stu has put Bolton on the map."
Tickets for the event are still available at £75 or £100 for access to the VIP pre-show and after party.

Rachel Uchitel Banged Elin Nordegren's New Boyfriend. Of Course.
*sniff sniff* "Gold?"
If you're rich and even remotely good looking, there's a pretty good chance you've banged Rachel Uchitel, Tiger Woods' Ground Whore Zero, at some pint. Which is why it shouldn't be at all shocking that she just revealed she already had sex with Elin Nordegren's new boyfriend Jamie Dingman, the son of a billionaire tycoon. TMZ reports:
But before Elin, sources tell TMZ Jamie and Rachel were an item — and there was a little bit of an overlap with Jamie and Tiger, but Jamie bowed out to the golfer.
In fact, when Rachael got serious with Tiger, Jamie joked with her, "That ok. [sic] I'll date his wife, Elin."
In related news, Jamie Dingman just became the first recipient of a complete skull replacement – valued at $10.6 million – after a pitching wedge was mysteriously inserted into his previous one with unparalleled force which authorities believe rules out a woman because "they're terrible at sports."

The White House is primed to make a grand show of hospitality for the South Korean president at Thursday's state visit.
The visit will include a fancy morning arrival ceremony on the South Lawn. And Washington is waiting to see who makes the guest list for the black-tie dinner at the White House on Thursday night.
Thursday's visit also will include the Obama administration's largest ever White House "tweet up:" Hundreds of participants - known as tweeple - will live tweet from the arrival ceremony for President Lee Myung-bak (lee myuhng bahk). That's fitting because South Korea is one of the most wired nations on the planet.
The entertainment lineup for the dinner will include the Ahn Trio, three sisters born in Seoul and reared in the United States.

Singapore Airlines A380: Travel In A New Light
Singapore Airlines A380: Travel In A New Light
Today, Singapore Airlines enters a new era in long-haul air travel, with the formal handover of the world's first A380 at Airbus headquarters in southern France.
The handover took place at the Henri Ziegler Delivery Centre, Toulouse, at a ceremony attended by over 500 people, and officiated by Chief Executive Officers Tom Enders (Airbus), Sir John Rose (Rolls-Royce) and Chew Choon Seng (Singapore Airlines).
The first delivery marks the culmination of an engineering project unrivalled in the aerospace industry. The A380 is the largest passenger plane ever built and the first completely new design of a passenger aircraft in decades.
Components have been built in plants around the world before being brought together for assembly at key Airbus facilities in Europe. Final assembly took place in Toulouse, France, while the painting of the livery and installation of the aircraft cabin took place in Hamburg, Germany.
Singapore Airlines first announced its intention to become an A380 customer in September 2000, with an order for 10 A380s and options on a further 15. That firm order was increased to 19 in July 2006. At catalogue prices, the commitment to the 19 firm orders, including engines and spares, is in the order of US$5.7 billion.
Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines will power the first 10 aircraft in the Singapore Airlines order. An engine selection has not yet been made for the subsequent nine aircraft.
Since the order was announced, Singapore Airlines has completed the enormous task of preparing for the entry into service of the new super-jumbo. Every aspect of the aircraft's operations - engineering, catering, cargo and baggage loading and unloading, passenger embarkation and disembarkation, flying operations and every aspect of customer service on board - has been redesigned to accommodate the extra passenger capacity, while maintaining operating efficiency.
In addition, a number of new cabin products have been developed, after a detailed consultation exercise with frequent travellers, which began as far back as 2001. The new cabin products were unveiled in late 2006 and are being rolled out on all new aircraft across the Singapore Airlines fleet.
Today, Singapore Airlines unveils some new innovations, unique to the A380 .
The Singapore Airlines A380 is configured with 471 seats in three classes: Economy, Business and the new Singapore Airlines Suites, a class beyond first.
The aircraft will enter commercial service on Thursday 25 October 2007, with a special return flight between Singapore and Sydney. The majority of seats on this flight were sold at auction on eBay, the global online marketplace, and all of the proceeds from the auction are being split among charities in Singapore, Sydney and a global humanitarian organisation.
Then, on Sunday 28 October 2007, the A380 will commence scheduled service between Singapore and Sydney on one of the three daily flights in each direction.
The delivery of subsequent aircraft will allow for the introduction of the A380, also on one of the three daily flights between Singapore and London's Heathrow Airport from the first quarter of 2008.
During the last few years, Singapore Airlines has joined with Airbus, and other A380 customers, to work with the world's major airports to ensure they are A380-ready. The support of the airport communities has meant many airports, to which A380s will operate, are now ready, or in the final stages of becoming so.
Singapore's Changi Airport, which will be home to the Singapore Airlines A380 fleet, was the first to be ready, and when the new Terminal 3 opens early next year, 19 gates across the three terminals will be fully A380-ready, including having aerobridge access to both decks.
Singapore Airlines is particularly delighted to recognise the impressive operating capabilities of the A380, demonstrated since the aircraft's first flight in April 2005.
Fuel burn is considerably lower, on a seat-mile basis, than today's large aircraft. This offers operating airlines real efficiency benefits, while also mitigating the environmental impact of flying. Emissions per passengers are the lowest of any aircraft.
The A380's noise emissions prove that big aircraft are not necessarily noisier. New technology, new design, airframe construction and engines all aid in making the A380 the quietest large passenger jet ever built. Onboard, the cabin amenity is substantially improved, with significantly lower cabin noise throughout.
Travel in a new light, aboard the Singapore Airlines A380.
Singapore Airlines A380: Comfort, Space And Luxury
Singapore Airlines today unveiled the luxurious cabin interior on its new Airbus A380. The cabin was revealed for the first time at the aircraft delivery in Toulouse, France.
The Singapore Airlines A380 is configured with 471 seats in three classes, with 12 Singapore Airlines Suites - a cabin class beyond first - on the main deck, 60 Business Class on the upper deck, and 399 Economy Class seats, across both decks. This new cabin design ensures that the A380 will deliver unprecedented comfort, space and luxury to Singapore Airlines customers.
The design process began over five years ago, with some of the airline's most frequent travellers invited to participate in workshops to help the airline understand what was most important to customers on a new aircraft.
Some of the new cabin products have already made their debut, to global acclaim, on Singapore Airlines new Boeing 777-300ER long-haul aircraft
Coupled with the service of the Singapore Airlines award-winning cabin crew, the A380 will provide customers in all three classes with a luxurious travel experience.
Singapore Airlines Suites
Unrivalled exclusivity and privacy await the privileged customers who fly Singapore Airlines' newest cabin product, aboard the Airbus A380.
Introducing the Singapore Airlines Suites, a class beyond first, providing the ultimate in luxury and privacy.
Setting a new standard in ultimate premium air travel, the Singapore Airlines Suites features a bold and unique cabin concept where each Suite is the customer's private cabin in the sky. Behind its discrete sliding doors is a spacious and truly personal area, with lavish furnishing and finishes.
"Developed with our most valued and distinguished customers in mind, the concept of the Singapore Airlines Suites is nothing less than ground-breaking in the luxury travel market," said Mr. Yap Kim Wah, Singapore Airlines' Senior Vice President Product and Services.
"Singapore Airlines Suites customers can look forward to a flight with an unprecedented level of personal space, in their very own private cabin in the sky. The exquisite new product offerings, together with the special service from our world-renowned cabin crew, will delight the most discerning of our customers."
The new Singapore Airlines Suites were designed by leading French luxury yacht designer Jean-Jacques Coste, whose designs cleverly utilise space to make the flight experience even more luxurious.
Elegantly furnished, each of the Singapore Airlines Suites opens up to a plush and luxurious leather seat. In a perfect marriage of classic style, ergonomics and technology, each seat is upholstered by world-renowned Poltrona Frau in the finest leather, with an elegant pumpkin finish.
The seat is fully adjustable, with a simple-to-use electronic control panel to accommodate a variety of sitting and lounging positions.
For those who want to sleep, a full-sized flat bed, with plush mattress, is built into each individual Singapore Airlines Suite, and does not utilize the seat as part of the sleeping surface.
Lavish Givenchy-designed duvets and cushions ensure customers can drift into peaceful and comfortable sleep.
The intelligent design of the full flat bed not only offers customers the choice to rest in their preferred sleeping positions, but also allows them to sit or lounge in bed as they might in the comfort and privacy of their own home.
Work or rest, Singapore Airlines Suites offers complete choice
For customers who need to catch up on work on board, their Singapore Airlines Suite can be transformed into a stylish office in the sky. Each Singapore Airlines Suite includes a chaise lounge for companion seating, ambient and mood lighting, luggage stowage space and a personal coat closet.
In addition to working in complete privacy, each Singapore Airlines Suite comes furnished with a generously wide and height-adjustable table which can function as a workstation, meeting table or large dining table.
Customers with laptops can tap into the in-seat power supply, while customers with just a thumb-drive can also get work done by plugging into the USB ports and utilizing the comprehensive suite of office tools available on KrisWorld; Singapore Airlines' award-winning inflight entertainment system.
KrisWorld: the biggest show in the sky just got bigger
Customers can sit back and be entertained, catching up on latest blockbusters, top-quality movies and TV programmes on the sleek 23-inch personal high-resolution widescreen LCD, mounted on the wall in each Suite. Or listen to a large selection of CDs on the accompanying premium headsets.
The new KrisWorld offers a wide selection of 100 movies, more than 180 TV programmes, a library of 700 music CDs, 3D games and more, with full audio and video on-demand. A new suite of office applications allows a customer to simply plug in a USB thumb-drive to save and edit files.
KrisWorld combines business with entertainment and information to provide customers the ultimate travel experience.
The Gourmet Experience
Along with the top of the range product offerings, customers can wine and dine on board as they would in a world-class restaurant, with the flexibility to choose when and what to eat.
Sumptuous gourmet offerings feature among a wide choice of meals, including those exclusively designed by top chefs on the Singapore Airlines International Culinary Panel, such as Gordon Ramsay (UK), Georges Blanc (France), Matt Moran (Australia) and Sam Leong (Singapore).
These meals are accompanied by a range of the best old world and new world wines, champagnes and spirits selected by Singapore Airlines' panel of renowned wine experts.
The fine dining experience is further enhanced with the use of fine bone chinaware, full-sized crystal ware and silverware, also designed by French fashion house Givenchy.
Completing the luxurious experience is the exclusive Ferragamo amenity kit which will be presented to Singapore Airlines Suites customers on long haul flights. Exclusively available on the A380, the amenity kit features the latest fragrance, F by Salvatore Ferragamo, Ferragamo lip balm, hand cream and facial mist.
The Singapore Airlines Suites is truly a class beyond first and will set new standards as the ultimate luxury inflight experience for those who expect nothing less ... exclusively on the new Singapore Airlines A380.
Business Class
Customers can look forward to experiencing the world's widest business class seat on the Singapore Airlines A380. Designed by James Park Associates (JPA) of the UK and manufactured for Singapore Airlines by Koito of Japan, the seat has already won acclaim since being fitted to the Airline's Boeing 777-300ER fleet last year.
Because of the increased cabin width on the A380, the seats will be even larger. Measuring 86 centimetres (34 inches) in width, the Business Class seat can be transformed into a comfortable full-flat bed for a good night's sleep. Innovative design of the bed enhances sleeping comfort, and also allows customers to lounge in bed to watch TV or eat, as they might at home.
Seats in the Business Class cabin are arranged in a forward facing, four-abreast (1-2-1) configuration that offers all customers direct access to the aisle. The fixed back shell on every seat can be extended to the sides for greater personal privacy.
Other features include a 39-centimetre (15.4-inch) LCD screen fully equipped with USB ports and in-seat power, exclusively designed bedding and dining-ware by Givenchy, enlarged dining table that is height-adjustable, as well as trolley bag stowage under the seat.
Economy Class
The new Singapore Airlines Economy Class seat offers greater comfort through improved seat design and the use of new, lighter and thinner materials. The new seats, designed and built by Weber (USA), provide more personal space, legroom and knee-room.
Customers can catch the latest movies on KrisWorld on a larger 27-centimetre (10.6-inch) screen in each seat. A USB port is also available at each seat to allow customers to access the enhanced functionalities on KrisWorld.
Other intelligent features include the non-intrusive reading light installed underneath the seatback screen, personal storage space for spectacles and small personal items, a coat hook, foot rest and in-seat power supply.

The recent Rock the Boat Music Festival in Port Hill was excellent and most enjoyable. The entertainment was great and it was especially nice to see entertainment other than country music for a change.
I try to support as many concerts as possible on P.E.I., but I do find that our choices have become very limited. Not everyone is a country music fan and this concert provided a great alternative with such groups as Blue Rodeo, Allan Doyle and Jimmy Rankin.
The prices for the tickets were very reasonable, which certainly helped with getting a big crowd with estimates in the range of 5,000. Concertgoers on P.E.I. have become accustomed to paying over-inflated prices at the concessions stands but that was not the case at this concert. Not many minded paying $5 for your favorite beverage or paying a reasonable price for your favorite food item.
One did not feel gouged upon leaving the concession stand like you do at most major concerts on P.E.I. It was great to see so many organizations benefit from this concert, whether it be a sports team or another organization, they made some money by volunteering and that is an added benefit to having a concert.
This concert facility at Green Park was excellent with all kinds of open space and adequate washroom facilities. I just can't say enough good things about the day.
Hopefully we will see another next year, as Prince County needs an attraction like this with so much potential for growth. All levels of government need to get on board with support and especially so with such an enthusiastic group of volunteers headed up by front man, Jeff Noye. His group did a fantastic job with this concert.
Our provincial government has dumped truck loads of money into the Cavendish Beach Festival and the Rock the Boat Festival deserves at least some support in future years and not just this year as part of the 2014 celebrations.
There are a lot of people looking forward to next year and if organizers are looking for a good draw, people never get tired of listening to Bryan Adams.
Do we dare dream and see someone really big like the Eagles or Bruce Springsteen? A big thank-you goes out to everyone associated with the Rock the Boat Festival. It was a great event!
Joe MacIntyre,
Summerside, P.E.I.

Glorious Dawn tells of a woman's daring choice.
Johanna Doan was a golden-haired, slender woman whose tragic beauty hid her bold, determined spirit. She had lived through her parents' murder and her sister's rape and pregnancy; now she could survive the intrigues at the Macklin ranch. Here, housekeeping with her sister, Johanna is expected to marry the son of the cruel landowner himself. And young Burr Macklin is everything Johanna fears and desires: a courageous man who arouses her passions, but one who needs to learn that a woman's heart can never be taken by force... only won with love.

I recently added a new host to our network. The computer is an IntelMac OS X (10.4.5) that is
getting its ip address assigned by m0n0wall. The computer's network settings are identical to other
computers on the network except for client_id. However, the client_id does not register anywhere in
I've read that OS X can not register in the DNS if the DNS updates are secure. Are m0n0wall's DNS
updates secure? What does this mean? And why would my other OS X computers register OK. I also read
that OS X only sends Options 53, 55, 57, 61, 51 and 12 when making a DHCP request. Could that be the
problem. I've posted to the Apple support forum but have not yet received a response.
Is there any way to try and force the registration without assigning a static ip address to the
computer and then manually adding the ip address to the DNS forwarder.
Here are the relevant m0n0wall settings:
------------ start info ------------
DHCP enabled on LAN
no WINS servers specified
no default or max lease time entered
DNS forwarder enabled
Register DHCP leases in DNS forwarder enabled
Log information:
I can see the computer requesting an ip address but there isn't a name listed. The other computers
show the client name in parentheses after the MAC address.
Example :
dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.10.37 from 00:16:ab:01:f2:81 via rl1
dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.10.36 from 00:05:54:28:26:2b (buffy) via rl1
DHCP lease information.
The ip & MAC address show up in the DHCP lease table but Hostname is missing.
------------ end info ------------
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,

Ram Tough, Scene #04

Scene Info
Sexy Jason Hawke doesn't seem to notice that his co-worker Corbin Michaels is on his lunch break. When he asks the horse-hung boy-next-door Michaels for a hand, Michaels tells him to get his lips on his cock instead. Hawke rises to the challenge and deep throats Corbin's fat cock, which gets them both rock hard. Michaels is unable to resist his co-workers long, perfect cock and falls to his knees to suck him off. This gets both of them hot, sweaty, and ready for more so Michaels slips his fat cock into Hawke's fat round ass. Hawke takes it like a man, but when he's had enough, he throws Michaels over and pumps his ass with his long, perfect cock. His jumbo man meat hits the spot and they fuck all over the scaffolding in a heated, sweaty fuck-a-thon. Hawke is the first one to explode, quickly followed by Michaels, who blows his load all over his own chiseled torso.

While many government programs are feeling the impact of the federal government shutdown, public schools have been relatively immune to the squeeze — for now.
Information released by the Texas Education Agency stated that Texas public schools will not be immediately impacted by the shutdown, largely due to the fact the federal dollars for education is "forward funded."
That means federal money for the nation's schools for the current school year was appropriated last year, before the shutdown.
"Deliberations over the (fiscal year) 2014 budget will determine appropriations for the next school year (2014–2015), and at this time it is anticipated that appropriations already determined for school year 2013–2014 would not be jeopardized," according to a TEA statement released shortly before the Tuesday shutdown.
The nation's school districts, including those in Bell County, receive funds for federal programs in areas like special education, Title I (funding for economically disadvantaged children) and, locally, Federal Impact Aid for districts located near large federal facilities such as Fort Hood.
"So far, we have not had any significant impact on those funds," said Michael Novotny, superintendent for the Salado Independent School District. "There wasn't any immediate change to our federal funding."
Joseph Burns, superintendent for the Copperas Cove Independent School District, echoed similar sentiments, and said the shutdown has not affected any district operations thus far.
However, both Novotny and Burns said that could change if the shutdown were to continue for an extended period of time.
"Those payments, especially our Impact Aid, might be delayed," Burns said. "If it gets to that, we have to dip into our fund balance to make that up."
Another program that may be at risk, should the shutdown continue, is Head Start, which provides early childhood education programs and related social services for children age 5 and younger from low-income families.
The shutdown has already caused roughly 19,000 children in 11 states to lose access to Head Start.
Texas is not one of those states, but the grants that run the Head Start programs in Texas, including those in Central Texas, are set to expire in December.
"Everybody's grants come up for renewal at a different time," said Tama Shaw, executive director for the Hill Country Community Action Association Inc., which runs Central Texas Head Start programs. "We are very lucky that our fiscal year does not start until December."
Shaw said any cuts caused by an extended shutdown would come on top of a $450,000 decrease in funding caused by federal sequestration. That cut forced the association to close four Head Start centers this year.
"We don't want to have to close more centers," Shaw said. "Hopefully things can get resolved."

Yen Hits Century Mark the Old-Fashioned Way
By Vincent Cignarella
The dollar's striking break above ¥100 versus the yen did not happen as might have been expected.
It was not triggered by some government official's statement, which many thought would be the impetus to propel the dollar higher. It was done in the old-fashioned way: by a clever trader with an order large enough to catch a market somewhat off-guard.
Shortly before 1:00 pm on what was a relatively quiet Thursday afternoon this trader began aggressively buying dollars against the yen. We don't know who this person was at this time, but we can glean from the charts his or her M.O.

Scandinavia's TeliaSonera has claimed to be the first operator in Europe to launch a mobile service that lets any customer use a number of devices as part of the same tariff.
Branded Telia Mobil Dela, or Telia Mobile Share, the service allows customers to connect smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices for a fixed monthly fee that includes a voice, messaging and data allowance.
TeliaSonera (Stockholm, Sweden) says that additional devices can be added at a lower monthly price and that the 'data bucket' can be shared between devices and adjusted on a monthly basis.
Shared data plans are already available in North America and parts of Asia, but European operators have traditionally shied away from them.
That may change following the move by TeliaSonera, which is charging SEK399 ($61) per month for its entry-level service, entitling a customer to unlimited calls and texts plus a 2GB limit on data usage.
Packages are available that include a data-usage allowance of up to 10GB.
TeliaSonera's offer allows a customer to connect as many as seven devices as part of the 'main subscription', but customers can pay from SEK149 to connect additional handsets and from SEK29 to hook up modems and routers.
"Telia Mobil Dela is a subscription Swedish families have been waiting for," said Ulrika Steg, the head of mobility services for TeliaSonera's Swedish operation, in a statement.
"Families have unlimited calls and they can use the data bucket much more efficiently by sharing it among family members' devices. They can also easily change the bucket size and add more gadgets if they want to," she added.
A rash of similar offers is likely to further squeeze the revenues of operators already beset by fierce competition and margin-crippling regulation.

I think you probably want to rank/divide '1' here based on how much of the identifier is matched by the search. For example, if you search for 'current-sep-line', you probably want 'current-line-sep' first, but currently you get 'current-alist-line-sep' first. -- sam th samth at ccs.neu.edu

It's obvious — except to a minority of the Supreme Court — that a juvenile being questioned by the police will feel less able to get up and leave than an adult in the same situation.
The 5-4 ruling arises from the interrogation of a 13-year-old North Carolina boy suspected of committing two home break-ins. A police investigator questioned the boy in a school conference room, but he wasn't read his rights. By adult standards, the boy wasn't in custody, the trigger for a Miranda warning. He wasn't under arrest, the door was unlocked and at one point the police investigator told him he could leave. But common sense suggests that a 13-year-old taken to an office and faced with not only the police but also school officials won't feel free to leave or to refuse to answer their questions. In the end, the boy confessed to the burglaries

Tracy Lynn Kraus is a fellow Isles fan who I've crossed paths with during my time cover the team the past two years. Over that time I've gotten to know her and her mission to help fight Leukemia after her, soon to be, 4 year old niece Aubri was diagnosed with the disease last year.
From here I'll let Tracy explain the rest:
On July 27, 2011 Aubri was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Hearing the news was like a kick in the stomach. No child in our family had ever been diagnosed with a life threatening illness and I had never really given it much thought. As far as I knew all of my 11 nieces and nephews were healthy and happy kids. Until that day. It's been a difficult time for the family but together we know we can help her win her battle.
While my niece fights the battle against leukemia in her tiny body we need doctors and scientists to battle it in laboratories, finding better treatment methods and, one day, a cure. Although the cause of leukemia remains unknown, recently developed treatments and steady advances in research bring us closer to a cure every day. These research advances were only achieved as a result of contributions made by companies, foundations and individuals such as you.
I will be completing the St. Anthony's Olympic Distance Triathlon in honor of Aubri and all those fighting blood cancers. My goal is to raise $4,000 by March 15, 2012 (Aubri's 4th birthday!) and every single dollar donated brings me closer to that goal! Thank you for your support in this important endeavor!
At the moment she is 98 percent of the way to her goal. She has raised $3,927 at the time of this posting.
The hockey community is a tight one and has been know to rise to the occasion for a good cause. Help a fellow Islander fan reach her goal by donating just a few dollars to help fight disease that affects so many.
There are five more days left to donate and if you'd like to you can click here to do so. Also help spread the word to your friends, family and neighbors.no comments
Update: The Islanders have recalled Michael Haley on emergency basis this afternoon. The move was made because Casey Cizikas will miss tonight's game with the flu.
The Islanders and Devils will wrap up their three game set tonight at the Coliseum. New Jersey downed the Islanders, 5-1, Thursday night at the Prudential Center and the Isles will look to salvage the mini three game series.
Ilya Kovalchuk dominated the Isles last time around, netting his 13th career hat trick. Patrik Elias and David Clarkson also scored in the win and Andrew MacDonald scored the Islanders lone goal in the game.
Anders Nilsson will start in net for the Islanders. The Swedish goaltender has a 3.02 goals against average and .896 save percentage in three appearances. Nilsson received his first NHL victory last Sunday when he shut out the Devils.
Dylan Reese will be in tonight and Milan Jurcina will be a healthy scratch. Matt Martin will miss tonight's game with the flu.

Before Ilya Kovalchuk last night, last #Devils hat trick against #Isles was by Patrik Elias, who scored four goals on March 30, 2003.— Jesse Spector (@jessespector) March 9, 2012
In what was forecasted to be the single most important 3 games of the month for this team, the Islanders sure didn't play like it tonight. After a 1-0 shutout victory on Sunday, and a 4 day break in between, the Islanders were completely uninspiring after getting blown out 5-1 by the New Jersey Devils.
Devils dominated play for the large part of the first, and the Islanders were having trouble getting pucks to the net from the very start, with David Ullstrom providing the only real scoring chances for the majority of the period. New Jersey would however gain the lead midway through the first, as a somewhat fortunous bounce from the boards on a one-timer, led to Ilya Kovalchuk to have his own rebound on his stick with an empty net in front of him. 1-0 New Jersey.
The Devils would add to the lead almost right away in the second, as a penalty by Steve Staios put the Islanders on the penalty kill early, and after a bit of cycling Kovalchuk would fire home his second of the game with yet another one-timer this time from the top of the faceoff circle.
The Islanders would get one back though, as time neared the end of the second period. David Ullstrom, one of only 2 Islander to finish with a +1 in tonight's game, led a rush down the wing, cut to the middle, and took a shot. Andrew MacDonald, who'd joined the rush, went for the rebound behind the net, and what was simply supposed to be a pass to the front of the net became a goal as it hit Martin Brodeur and went in the back of the net. A fortunous goal, but a goal none the less.
And it was so that the Islanders entered the third period with hope, hope that all wasn't lost and they could still get back into this game, as they were only down by 1. That's exactly the mindset the Islanders entered the third period with, but not quite how they left it. Entering the Islanders were buzzing for a good five minutes, keeping New Jersey in their own end for the majority of it, and forcing Brodeur to make saves. However, the puck just wouldn't seem to get through, at least not for the Islanders.
Seven minutes into the third, the Islanders were getting stuck in their zone for one of the first times all period, but New Jersey did what the Islanders couldn't, capitalize. After the Islanders took a penalty, New Jersey would get the extra skater on the ice, Carter, who along with Elias, drove right to the net as Adam Larsson unleashed a bullet from the point. With traffic in front, Elias would drive home the rebound and give the Devils a 3-1 lead that the Islanders would never find their way back from.
It was all Devils from there, as Kovalchuk would shoot yet another one timer past Nabokov, this time from the slot, and earn himself a hat trick while giving the Devils a 4-1 lead. David Clarkson would later wrap up the scoring at 5-1 on a deflection in front.
The blame could be cast on almost anybody and everybody, but most of all the coach. On a game as important as this one, and with four days off to prepare for it, it's unacceptable that Capuano didn't have his team ready to go for this one. Things must change for the Islanders, the only thing is, is it too late?no comments
Updated: Head coach Jack Capuano announced that the Islanders will start Evgeni Nabokov tonight in net. Dylan Reese and Michael Grabner are the healthy scratches.
The Islanders and Devils will face off for the second of three matchups this week tonight at the Prudential Center.
Last time, the Isles defeated the Devils 1-0 at the Coliseum, with Anders Nilsson stopping all 24 shots he faced to get his first career NHL victory, Kyle Okposo scored the lone goal in the game in the second period.
The win moved them within five points of a playoff spot in the east, but a victory by the Winnipeg Jets on Monday moved the Islanders back to seven points out. A victory tonight, baring another Jets win, will move the Islanders back within five points.
Several Islanders are entering tonight's game on different streaks. Matt Moulson has six points through his last six games; Frans Nielsen has four assists in the last four games; Casey Cizikas has three assists in his last three games; PA Parenteau has 12 points in his last 14 games and Josh Bailey has four goals in his last four games.
Expected Lineup for the Devils (via the New York Islanders website):

Islanders Prospect Ryan Strome was involved a wacky win for the Niagara IceDogs this afternoon. Strom scored five goals and one assist for six points in the IceDogs 13-4 win over the Erie Otters.
Ironically Strome's stat line, 5-1-6, is the area code for Nassau County. An omen? Maybe.
But before anyone jumps up and down in excitement, there is a twist to this whole tale. The 13 goals were not given up by a goaltender; instead it was forward Connor Crisp who allowed the scoring palooza. The Otters had only dressed one goaltender, they lost their other earlier in the week to injury, and designated Crisp as the back up. 1:25 into the game the Otters lone goaltender left the game and they had to call Crisp into the game.
"Well, I'm a road hockey goalie, ball hockey goalie, but that's the first time I've put on goalie equipment and played on ice since I was five years old," Crisp told the Canadian Press.
While it's nice to see Strome put up that many goals in a game, it's hard to say he'll be able to do it again against a natural goaltender.no comments
The Islanders head into a three-day break with a 1-0 win over the New Jersey Devils. Islander rookie goaltender Anders Nilsson earned his first career NHL win and stopped 25 shots in the shootout.
It would take until the second period for either side to put a point on the board. At the 2:39 mark of the second period, Kyle okposo was able to fire a shot past the glove of Martin Brodeur for the games only goal.
During the period the Islanders were able to draw three power play chances, the third came late in the period and spilled over to the third, but couldn't convert.
John Tavares nearly added an empty net goal late in the third period, but hit the side of the net trying to get a shot off quickly with Devil players closing in. A play earlier, PA Parenteu was beat to a puck that he could have put into the empty net.
After the jump some post game thoughts.no comments

* Sagging live cattle exert more feeder cattle pressure * Live cattle futures drop on cash sentiment, fund selling * Feb hogs firm, others slip with cattle market losses By Theopolis Waters CHICAGO, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Chicago Mercantile Exchange feeder cattle futures on Wednesday sank to a 5 1/2-month low pressured by sagging live cattle futures and lower prices for younger cattle, said analysts and traders. CME feeder cattle losses spanned eight consecutive sessions, tying a similar losing streak set in October 2009. March ended 1.900 cents per lb lower at 141.350 cents. April closed at 144.950 cents, down 2.200 cents. "Feeders are too expensive compared to live cattle. Feedlots have been losing massive amounts of money and one of the reasons is feeder cattle are too high," said A&A Trading broker Jim Clarkson. Unrelenting drought in the U.S. Plains pushed corn prices to all-time highs last summer and trimmed the cattle herd to the smallest in 61 years, driving up feeder cattle values. Feedyards, which fatten young cattle for sale to packers, in January on average lost $175 per head on cattle compared with $121 losses in December, according to the Denver-based Livestock Marketing Information Center. The price for feeder cattle, young steers weighing roughly 600 to 800 lbs, fell $3 to $4 per cwt on Tuesday at the most-watched Oklahoma City market as feedlot buying interest waned. LIVE CATTLE DROP WITH CASH HOPES CME live cattle finished lower, weighed by more fund liquidation and expectations for steady-to-lower prices for unsold cattle in the cash market, traders and analysts said. Traders also cited mixed rather than higher wholesale beef prices in the midst of a seasonal lull in demand. Spot February settled down 0.550 cent per lb to 125.500 cents. The most-active April ended 0.550 cent lower at 129.400 cents. Prior to a few weeks ago, futures' premiums were justified because of tighter cattle numbers outlook due to back-to-back drought, said EBOTTrading.com senior analyst John Kleist. "Now, people are trying to get rid of that premium because beef demand has fallen apart," he said. So far, a small number of cash-basis cattle in the U.S. Plains traded at $123 per cwt, down $2 from last week, feedlot sources said. Packer bids for remaining cattle stood at $122 to $123 against $125 to $127 asking prices from sellers, they said. Some processors are expected to cut slaughter rates and curtail cash spending to improve their margins and stabilize volatile wholesale beef values. The U.S. Department of Agriculture showed the price for wholesale choice beef on Wednesday morning at $183.57 per cwt, up 12 cents from Tuesday; select cuts slipped 24 cents to $179.06. HedgersEdge.com put the average beef packer margin for Wednesday at a negative $73.95 per head, compared with a negative $78.50 on Tuesday and a negative $62.10 on Feb. 6. FEB HOGS FIRM, OTHERS WEAK Spot February CME hog futures closed up 0.225 cent per lb at 87.475 cents. The spot month drew support from generally steady cash hog prices and its discount to CME's lean hog index at 90.17 cents. CME's cattle market selloff spilled over into remaining hog futures, said traders and analysts. And packers may soon lower cash hog bids and reduce slaughters to realign their margins. Most-active April ended at 85.800 cents, 0.200 cent lower and June closed down 0.100 cent down at 94.150 cents. The average pork packer margin for Wednesday was a negative $9.50 per head, compared with a negative $12.55 on Tuesday and a negative $13.75 on Feb. 6, said HedgersEdge.com. "Packer margins are not all that good right now but pork is very cheap in my opinion," said independent livestock futures trader Dan Norcini. Processors should begin stocking up on hams for Easter demand soon, which could help wholesale pork values, he said.

Nine days left until Election Day. On this Sunday morning, here are some of the stories making headlines — and some of the fun that Saturday Night Live had at the Democrats' expense last night:
• Anchorage Daily News — Editorial board endorses Obama: Saying that "Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office," the Alaska newspaper this morning endorsed him over Republican presidential nominee John McCain. Of GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, Alaska's governor, the Daily News' editorial board writes that "few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the governor beyond her range."
Other editorial boards' endorsements this weekend include:
For Obama — Hartford Courant, Star Tribune, St. Petersburg Times, Journal Sentinel.
For McCain — Arizona Republic, Cincinnati Enquirer, Eagle-Tribune.
Obama is leading in endorsements by about a 3-1 margin.
• ABC News' Political Radar blog — McCain aides speak out about Palin: "While Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin often speaks on the campaign trail of having 'ruffled feathers' during her time as governor of Alaska, the Republican vice presidential nominee appears to have ruffled feathers within the McCain camp. Aides to Sen. John McCain anonymously attacked Palin in several reports (Saturday), criticizing the Alaska governor for diverting from the McCain campaign's message, suggesting Palin was unhappy with certain campaign aides and accusing her of thinking more about her political future than about the success of the McCain-Palin ticket."
•The Associated Press — Palin's pipeline contract came out of a "flawed bidding process:" Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's "signature accomplishment" as governor of Alaska — "a contract to build a 1,715-mile pipeline to bring natural gas from Alaska to the Lower 48 — emerged from a flawed bidding process that narrowed the field to a company with ties to her administration, an Associated Press investigation shows."
•ABC News' Political Punch blog — Obama campaign cancels interviews with Fla. TV reporter after contentious one with Biden: After an interview on WFTV-TV in Orlando on Thursday in which Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden was asked, among other things, whether running mate Barack Obama is being "a Marxist," the Obama-Biden campaign has canceled further interviews with station anchor Barbara West.
From a related post by the Orlando Sentinel— West defends her actions.
• The Washington Times — Obama has shifted the spectrum in three key states that usually vote Republican: The newspaper "logged 1,300 miles through the mountains and valleys" of North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. "In all three states, in every demographic, including Republicans, voters say they are frustrated with the past eight years and view (Democratic presidential nominee Barack) Obama as a symbol of hope in a time of war and economic hardship. If they show up at the polls and vote accordingly, they likely will deliver the White House for Mr. Obama on Election Day."
• The Politico — "Inaugural address" McCain said is ready for Obama was written last summer as an argument for Clinton's candidacy: Republican presidential nominee John McCain criticized Democrat Barack Obama yesterday for supposedly having already drafted an inaugural address. But the piece was actually written by long-time Democratic operative John Podesta, who was then supporting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's candidacy, to help make the case for Clinton's bid.
•Argus Leader — South Dakota's voters split on abortion ban: "An Argus Leader Media/KELO-TV poll showed a dead heat on Initiated Measure 11, the state's proposed abortion ban: 44% said they'd vote for it and 44% said they'd vote against it if the election were held immediately. The poll was conducted Oct. 13-15, with a sample of 800 South Dakotans who said they are likely voters. The poll's margin of error is 3.5 percentage points. The 12% who said they still are undecided will determine the outcome of the issue Nov. 4."
• The New York Times — "Democrats carrying anti-abortion banner put more Congressional races in play."
And on Saturday Night Live this week:
"Joe Biden" and "Rep. Jack Murtha" have some "crazy things" to say:
Barack and Michelle Obama preview the "variety show" they'll be hosting later this week:

Signet Jewelers
If you're like me, you shudder at the phrases "Every Kiss Begins With Kay" and "He Went to Jared!" But for whatever reason (I suspect subliminal messages), they have helped power retail jeweler Signet Jewelers (NYSE:SIG) to sparkling returns in the past few years. Specifically, SIG has ripped off 900% returns since the depths of the financial crisis, including a nearly 50% return in the past 52 weeks.
A third of the National Retail Federation survey's respondents said they'd be buying jewelry, and it's hard to imagine Signet's wide net — one that includes not only Kay Jewelers and Jared, but JB Robinson, Rogers, Osterman and Shaw's, among others — won't catch a big chunk of that spending bloc.
If all goes as planned, this Mother's Day should go a long way in helping SIG meet or exceed the Street's expectations for earnings, which include roughly 11% growth in both fiscal years 2014 and '15. And considering SIG's recent history of earnings beats, it'll more likely be on the "exceed" side.
Also a promising sign of stability: Signet has been debt-free for a couple years now, and re-instituted its dividend in 2011, switching from its previous biannual payout to a quarterly one. At a yield of less than 1%, SIG's no income solution, but the payout has increased by 50% in just two years, so it's headed in the right direction.

The bail hearing for 50-year-old Gary White, a Doyles man facing a long list of firearms and other charges, went through most of the day on Friday and is set over for continuation on July 23.
The bail hearing started in Stephenville Provincial Court on Monday under Judge Lynn E. Cole.
Cpl. Mike Reidpath of the Channel-Port aux Basques RCMP said a lengthy number of the charges against White are from one incident. However, there are four different incidents, with one charge from an occurrence in St. Andrews and several charges from matters in the Corner Brook area.
In total, White is facing 27 charges, with 13 of them firearms-related offences. Included in those are three charges of careless use of a firearm, another of carrying a concealed weapon and another of carelessly using a firearm or ammunition.
Other charges include three assaults, two mischiefs relating to property and nine of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm.
Reidpath said two of the charges are in relation to an assault and threats to a police officer.
He said White was arrested in early April and there are still some outstanding charges pending ongoing investigations into other allegations.
