__________Catholics have no purpose in life. Why do these degenerates choose the "Catholic lifestyle" anyway ?! And yes that degenerate lifestyle IS a choice !
And they CAN change if they want to. They COULD lead a decent, moral, God-fearing Protestant lifestyle if they would ONLY turn to the teachings of Martin Luther !
If you do not follow the teachings of Martin Luther as laid out by "St. Martin's Second Reformed German Lutheran Church and Microbrewery", you have NO HOPE of eternal salvation !
I hope you deplorable Catholics TURN from your decadent "Catholic lifestyle", and follow the teachings of Martin Luther so you can lead a God-fearing Protestant lifestyle as God and The Founding Fathers of our great republic intended !
It's up to you !
If this is tongue in cheek, then it's stupid. If you are truly serious, then it's both stupid and uninformed. Martin Luther was a baptized Catholic, before forming the Lutheran sect.

Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 10.5.1.1
Component/s: Network Client, Network Server
Issue & fix info:Patch Available
Currently Derby requires RDBNAM on ACCSEC. The DDM spec lists it as optional. For
DERBY-728, in order to negotiate the encoding, EXCSAT and ACCSEC will need to remain EBCDIC, so we want the RDBNAM to be optional. We can use the RDBNAM sent in SECCHK instead.
Once this is done. Client can be changed to only send RDBNAM on ACCSEC if an EBCDIC conversion is possible.
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
Here is a preliminary patch for this issue. I am running tests now. The change makes RDBNAM optional on ACCSEC and initialize the datbase name on SECCHK instead. I added two protocol tests. One for successful connection if there is no RDBNAM on ACCSEC but we send it on SECCHK. Another to test that we throw a SYNTAXRM if there is no RDBNAM on either ACCSEC or SECCHK.
Regression tests passed. Please Review the patch derby-4004_diff.txt
I have not looked at this thoroughly, but I have one comment: are the new .inc files run as part of the ProtocolTest
The patch 'derby-4004-fix_new_protcoltest.diff' makes the new protocol test run successfully with the new tests added.
Before the change it ran 150 tests, after Katheys patch it runs 151 (two added, one removed).
Changes in "protocol.tests" are picked up automatically, but if new files are added java/testing/org/apache/derby/impl/drda/ProtocolTest.java must be updated.
This test still has the problem that it cannot be run as part of suites.All, but it can be run with 'ant junit-pptesting'.
Note that the old version of the test is still being run as part of a suite.
Thanks Kristian and Myrna for the information on ProtocolTest. I added Kristian's patch to the original patch. If there are no review comments I will commit this patch tomorrow. I would, however most appreciate a review if anyone has the time.
Kathey and I did a patch-code-walk-through on IRC.
We noticed the following nits:
- Improve javadoc for dbname on initializeDatabase
- Add javadoc for Database.setDatabaseName
- fix whitespace before call to initializeDefaultStatement.
- in in excsat_secchk_nordbonaccsec.inc, remove comment //writeScalarString RDBNAM "wombat;create=true
All looks good otherwise.
Attached is a patch derby-4004_10_4_diff.txt which backports this change to 10.4. I am putting the change to 10.4 and 10.3 to avoid the change in error message when attempting to connect with multibyte characters in the database name after the fix for derby-4008 for new clients connecting to back rev servers.
Running tests and will commit Monday if there are no objections.

A former Palm Beach County Chase Bank manager was sentenced to almost five years in prison Friday for failing to file currency transaction reports for over $1 million, the Department of Justice announced.
Carey Robinson, who pled guilty to structuring financial transactions and causing West Palm Beach's J.P. Morgan Chase Bank to fail to file the required reports, was sentenced to 57 months in prison and two years supervised release, according to the department.
The former manager, who was employed at the bank from 2008 through May 2011, exchanged over $1 million for a customer without filing the necessary transactions with the Department of Treasury.
Beginning in 2009, the customer of the bank brought a brown bag with $20 bills to Robinson, who then counted the money in his office, authorities said. The bills were exchanged for $100 bills by a vault custodian.
The customer would wait in the bank for the money or meet the manager in a parking lot near his home after the exchange.
To keep bank employees from becoming suspicious, Robinson also began to meet the customer beforehand.
As a result of Robinson's actions, the currency transactions, which are required for exchanges over $10,000, were never filed, the Department of Justice said.
Robinson faced a maximum 10-year sentence.

Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Maryland
My husband was on disability, his cc went into default and a judgement was done in 2003. He went into homehospice Jan 2004 and died August 2004. No one was in contact until now Sept 2012. How do I reply back to them. No estate of his own.
1 Answer from Attorneys
If there was a credit card default in 2003 and there have been no payments made, then the debt is no longer collectible anyway and any attempt to collect is probably a violation of the fair debt collections practices act (especially if they make ANY threat to take legal action). I would just ignore it. There's nothing they can do at this point (and that's not even including the estate issue). If there was no estate then presumably no assets that required probate -- hence, they have nobody to collect from. Again, i wouldn't bother responding at all.
Right now there are groups of businesses out there who have purchased very old and totally unenforceable debts. They buy these for maybe a penny on the dollar -- and then they hope that they can scare at least a few people into paying without realizing that the debts are too old to collect.

Al Capone was born to Gabriele Capone (1865 – 1920) and his
wife Teresina ("Theresa") Raiola (28 December 1867 – 1952) in
Brooklyn, New York, at the turn of the 20th century. Gabriele
was a barber from Castellammare di Stabia, a village about 15
miles south of Naples, Italy. Teresina was a seamstress and the
daughter of Angelo Raiola from Angri, a town in the province of
Salerno. The Capones had immigrated to the United States in
1894, and settled in the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn,
New York. Gabriele and Teresina had seven sons and two
Al Capone quit high school at the age of 14 when he fought with a teacher. He then worked odd jobs around Brooklyn, including a candy store and a bowling alley. After his initial stint with small-time gangs, Capone joined the notorious Five Points Gang headed by Frankie Yale. It was at this time he began working as a bartender and bouncer at Yale's establishment, The Seedy Harvard Inn. It was there that Capone would engage in a knife fight with a thug, Frank Gallucio, after Capone had made a bold move on Gallucio's sister. Gallucio had deeply slashed Capone's right cheek with a switchblade, earning him the nickname that he would bear for the rest of his life, "Scarface".
In 1918 Al married Mae Coughlin, an Irish woman, who gave him a son that year, Albert Francis ("Sonny") Capone. The couple lived in Brooklyn for a year. In 1919 he lived in Amityville, Long Island, to be close to "Rum Row". Capone was still working for Frankie Yale and is thought to have committed at least two homicides before he was sent to Chicago in 1919. Yale sent his protégé to Chicago after Capone was involved in a fight with a rival gang. Yale's intention was for Capone to "cool off" there; the move primed one of the most notorious crime careers in modern American history.
The Capone family moved to a small, unassuming house at 7244 South Prairie Avenue in Chicago. Cicero, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, would serve as Capone's first headquarters. Initially, Al took up grunt work with Johnny Torrio's outfit, but the elder Torrio immediately recognized Capone's talents and by 1922 Capone was Torrio's second in command, responsible for much of the gambling, alcohol, and prostitution rackets in the city of Chicago. One of his greatest triumphs was the seizure of the region of Cicero in 1924. It became known as one of the most crooked elections in Chicago's long history with voters threatened at the polling station by thugs. Al Capone's mayoral candidate won by a huge majority but it was only weeks later he claimed he would run Capone out of town. In order to counter this Capone met with his puppet-mayor and personally knocked him down the town hall steps. It was a powerful assertion of gangster power and a huge victory for the Torrio-Capone alliance. The event was marred however by the death of Frank Capone at the hands of the police. It broke his brother's heart. Unshaven (a gangster form of mourning), Capone cried openly at the funeral and ordered the closure of all the speakeasies in Cicero for a day as a mark of respect.
Severely injured in an assassination attempt in 1925, the shaken Torrio returned to Italy and gave the reins of the business to Capone. Al was notorious during the Prohibition era for his control of the Chicago underworld and his bitter rivalries with gangsters such as Bugs Moran and Hymie Weiss. Raking in vast amounts of money from illegal gambling, prostitution, and alcohol (some estimates were that between 1925 and 1930 Capone was making $100 million a year), the Chicago kingpin was largely immune to prosecution due to witness intimidation and the bribing of city officials, such as Chicago mayor William "Big Bill" Hale Thompson. Al was reputed to have several other retreats and hideouts including French Lick, Indiana; Dubuque, Iowa; Hot Springs, Arkansas; Johnson City, Tennessee; and Lansing, Michigan.
In 1928, Al bought a retreat on Palm Island, Florida. It was shortly after this purchase that he orchestrated seven of the most notorious gangland killings of the century, the 1929 St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Although details of the massacre are still in dispute, and no person was ever charged with the crime, the killings are generally linked to Capone and his henchmen, especially Jack "Machine Gun" McGurn, who is thought to have led the operation. By staging the massacre, Capone was trying to dispose of his arch-rival Bugs Moran, who controlled gang operations on the North Side of Chicago. Moran was late for the meeting and escaped an otherwise certain death.
Throughout the 1920s, Al was often the target of attempted murders, being shot once in a restaurant and having his car riddled with bullets from nose to tail on more than one occasion. However the assassins were normally amateurs and Capone was never seriously wounded.
By 1929 Al Capone had earned 105 million dollars. 60 million
dollars of it was from alcohol.
Although Al always did his business through front men and had no accounting records (which are receipts) (his mansion was in his wife's name), Al Alcini started linking him to his earnings. New laws enacted in 1927 allowed the federal government to pursue Capone on tax evasion, their best chance of finally convicting him. Part of the reason Capone was taken to task in this way was his status as a celebrity. On the advice of his publicist he did not hide from the media by the mid twenties and began to make public appearances. When Charles Lindbergh performed his famous trans-Atlantic flight in 1927 Capone was among the first to push forward and shake his hand upon his arrival in Chicago. He gained a great deal of admiration from many of the poor in Chicago for his flagrant disregard of the prohibition law that they all despised. He was viewed for a time as a loveable outlaw, partially due to his extravagant generosity to strangers and often lending a hand to struggling Italian-Americans, something he once was. His night club, the Cotton Club, became a hot-spot for hot new acts such as Charlie Parker and Bing Crosby. Al Capone was often cheered in the street and it was only the brutal murders of the St Valentines day massacre and the 1929 crash that made people view him once again as a killer and social parasite. This was despite Capone's opening of soup kitchens in Chicago's poorest suburbs. Contributing to his vilification in April 1930, Frank J. Loesch, chairman of the Chicago Crime Commission compiled a list of "Public Enemies" whom he saw as corrupting the city. The list was published by newspapers nationwide and Capone's name was at its head, leading to him earning the nickname "Public Enemy No. 1".
Pursuing Al were Treasury agent Eliot Ness and his hand picked team of incorruptible U.S. Treasury agents "The Untouchables" and IRS agent Frank Wilson, who was able to find receipts linking Capone to illegal gambling income and evasion of taxes on that income.
FBI file photo. The trial and indictment occurred in 1931. The Alcinis tried to help Capone but he pleaded guilty to the charges, hoping for a plea bargain. But, after the judge refused his lawyer's offers and Al's associates failed to bribe or tamper with the jury, Al Capone was found guilty on five of twenty-two counts and sentenced to eleven years in a federal prison.
Al was first sent to an Atlanta prison in 1932. However, the
mobster was still able to control most of his interests from
this facility. Therefore, he was soon ordered to be transferred
to the infamous California island prison of Alcatraz in August
of 1934. Here, Capone was strictly guarded and prohibited from
any contact with the outside world. His number was AZ-85. With
the repeal of Prohibition and the arrest and confinement of its
leader, the Capone empire soon began to gradually wither. Capone
entered Alcatraz with his usual confidence. Many of his
"friends" who were in fact people who feared him rather than
liked him had mostly gone straight with families and kept away
from crime. When Capone returned, these friends tried to avoid
him or simply agreed to do as he asked without following up on
the agreement. Capone beat one of his "best friends" half to
death for defying him. When Al attempted to bribe guards, he
would find himself sent to the "hole", or solitary confinement.
Eventually Capone's mental state began to deteriorate. One
example of his erratic behavior was that he would make his bed
and then undo it, continuing this pattern for hours. At times Al
refused to leave his cell at all, crouching in a corner and
talking to himself in Italian or, according to some, complete
gibberish. Al Capone began telling people that he was being
haunted by the ghost of James Clark, a victim in the St.
Valentine's Day Massacre, paranormal investigators were even
sent in to observe him and his surroundings, though they
ultimately decided that Capone was simply mentally unhealthy. It
was apparent over time that Capone no longer posed much of a
threat of resuming his previous gangster-related activities.
Once Al Capone had been imprisoned, Capone's control and interests within organized crime immediately ran into rapid decline. It is often argued that Al's decline in mental health during his imprisonment was catalyzed by the breakdown of his power and income; both Capone's physical and mental health was seen to notably decline; most noticeably an onset of dementia most likely caused by an elongated infection of syphilis, untreated since it was contracted in his youth, as well as noticeable weight loss. Al Capone spent the final year of his 11 year sentence as a resident of the Baltimore State Mental Institution before retiring to his estate in Miami, Florida.
On 21 January 1947, Al Capone had an apoplectic stroke. He regained consciousness and started to feel better until pneumonia set in on 24 January. The next day Al Capone died from cardiac arrest. Al was originally buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, in Chicago's far South Side between the graves of his father, Gabriele, and brother, Frank; however, in March 1950 the remains of all three family members were moved to Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois, west of Chicago.
One of the most notorious American gangsters of the 20th century, Al has been the subject of numerous articles, books, and films. He has been portrayed on screen by Nicholas Kokenes, Wallace Beery, Paul Muni, Barry Sullivan, Rod Steiger, Neville Brand, Jason Robards, Ben Gazzara, Robert De Niro, William Devane, Titus Welliver and William Forsythe.
The Paper Lace song entitled "The Night Chicago Died" imagines Capone and his army of criminals waging war against the Chicago Police force.
Al Capone and his era were highlighted in the 1959 television film The Untouchables and its feature film and television series remakes which has created the popular myth of the personal war between the crime lord and Eliot Ness.
In several stories in the alternative history anthology Back in the USSA by Kim Newman and Eugene Byrne, Al Capone is imagined as the brutal dictator of a United States of America which experienced a communist revolution in 1917 instead of Russia, and is presented as an obvious analog to Joseph Stalin.
A vault of Al Capone's was opened by Geraldo Rivera on live television in 1986 on The Mystery of Al Capone's Vault.
Tunnels found under the city of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan are said to have been another hideout of Capone's. The anfractuous tunnels are a very popular tourist attraction, due in part to the alleged link to Capone.
In addition, often in western world culture, Al's persona and character have been used for inspiration and as a model for countless crime lords and criminal master minds ever since his death. Al Capone's accent, mannerisms, facial construction, sometimes his physical stature, type of dress, and often even parodies of his name are found throughout various cartoon series villains as well as some movies. Usually the portrayals are not slighting or insulting parodies in their nature, as these said parody characters are generally shown as wily and crafty criminal characters.

Annandale House Fire
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department units responded to a house fire Tuesday, December 29, 2009, at approximately 4:45 a.m. in the Annandale area of Fairfax County. The single-family home is located at 6906 Alpine Drive.
Firefighters encountered smoke and fire coming from the front and sides of the rambler-style home upon arrival. Firefighters fought the fire inside the basement and first floor and brought the fire under control in approximately 30 minutes. Firefighters contended with high winds while fighting the fire.

The occupant will be displaced. There were no other injuries.
Damage is estimated at $150,000.
According to fire investigators, the fire was accidental. The fire was caused by an electric space heater in the basement.

A man from Corinth, Miss., has been arrested as a suspect in the case of letters mailed to the president and a Mississippi senator that contained a granular substance that has tested positive for ricin.
Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, has been charged with threatening the life of the president, the Associated Press reported Thursday.
Curtis was arrested about 5:15 p.m. Wednesday at his apartment in Corinth, near the Tennessee state line and about 100 miles east of Memphis, the Associated Press reported.
His family released the following statement Thursday:
Our family is distraught to learn of the claims being made that my brother, Kevin Curtis, sent poison to public officials. We know none of the details about these claims ,and we have been furnished no evidence as to the allegations being made against Kevin.
We are, however, far too familiar with Kevin's lengthy history of mental illness. For years, our family has struggled to obtain medical assistance for Kevin, who has been diagnosed as bipolar. Our family succeeded, approximately three (3) years ago, in finally persuading Kevin to take medication prescribed for that disorder. Unfortunately, because his mental problems cause Kevin to believe he does not require medical treatment, he refused to continue to take the medication. Sadly, we have been informed there is no legal way for us to force him to follow his doctors' instructions.
When Kevin is taking his medication as prescribed, he is a loving, compassionate person. He is also highly intelligent with enormous potential. Our family is hopeful that the federal government will do something to provide some assistance for Kevin's mental illness. We also pray that this situation might create something good by bringing to the public's attention the lack of any way to provide meaningful medical treatment to those persons like Kevin, who so desperately need it.
Family of Kevin Curtis
A second set of tests on the letters confirmed the presence of ricin, authorities said Thursday afternoon. The amount and potency was unknown.
One of the letters was addressed to President Obama and was intercepted Tuesday at a White House mail screening facility in D.C.
That letter was similar a letter found Tuesday in an envelope sent to Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss. that also tested positive.
"[My wife] Gayle and I want to thank the men and women of the FBI and U.S. Capitol Police for their professionalism and decisive action in keeping our family and staff safe from harm," Sen. Wicker said a statement issued by his office Wednesday evening. "My offices in Mississippi and Washington remain open for business to all Mississippians. We particularly want to thank the people of Mississippi for their thoughts and prayers during this time."
The letter sent to a Mississippi justice official that also initially tested positive for ricin has been sent to the same facility where the other two letters are being tested.
Several reports of suspicious letters and packages sent to lawmakers emerged Wednesday, when news also emerged that two mail screening facilities in Maryland were being investigated after initial tests showed the presence of ricin there.
The envelopes addressed to Obama and Wicker were postmarked April 8 out of Memphis, Tenn., and both letters included the phrase "to see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance" and were signed "I am KC and I approve this message."
There's no way to know whether the substance on the letters really is ricin until it's sent to a laboratory for culturing. Ricin is made from castor beans, but in some threat mailings, the senders simply grind up castor beans, resulting in positive field tests even though it's not ricin.
"There was a letter addressed to the president that at an off-site mail facility was noticed to contain a suspicious substance and tests were undertaken," said White House spokesman Jay Carney in a briefing Wednesday. "The FBI has the lead in that investigation, of course, and has said in its statement that they will be conducting further tests to determine what the nature of the substance is."
Several reports of suspicious packages
Authorities said earlier they were aware of a person who they suspect could be linked to the mailings, but they were waiting for results from the testing of the envelopes.
"The person that is a suspect writes a lot of letters to members," Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said Tuesday as she emerged from a classified briefing.
Also Wednesday, Sen. Carl Levin, D.-Mich., said a staff member at his Saginaw office received a suspicious letter Wednesday.
The Phoenix office of Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., was evacuated briefly after reports of a suspicious package, though that package turned out to be innocuous.
The atrium of the Hart Senate Building was briefly evacuated as authorities examined a suspicious package there and suspicious envelopes on other floors of the Hart and Russell buildings.
The Wicker envelope, which contained a white granular substance, was intercepted about 11 a.m. Tuesday at a Landover, Md., mail facility and did not reach the Capitol.
Both the Landover facility and a screening facility in Hyattsville, Md., which also handles Senate mail and where filters preliminarily tested positive for ricin Wednesday morning, are being investigated, according to the FBI. Mail in the facilities is being tested.
Capitol Police spokesman Shennell S. Antrobus said police were notified that the Landover facility had received "an envelope containing a white granular substance."
"The envelope was immediately quarantined by the facility's personnel and USCP HAZMAT responded to the scene," Antrobus said. "Preliminary tests indicate the substance found was ricin. The material is being forwarded to an accredited laboratory for further analysis."
One congressional official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation wasn't concluded, said evidence of ricin appeared on two preliminary tests.
Mail bore a Memphis postmark, could come from one of several states
Terrance Gainer, the Senate's sergeant-at-arms, said the envelope bore a Memphis, Tenn., postmark but had no return address or suspicious markings.
Mail from a broad swath of northern Mississippi, including Tupelo, Oxford and DeSoto County, is processed and postmarked in nearby Memphis, according to a Postal Service map. The Memphis center also processes mail for residents of Western parts of Tennessee and eastern Arkansas.
Wicker's office has informed the senator's close associates of the tainted letters, a source close to Wicker told NBC News Tuesday. The office also is telling associates that no one at the Post Office was exposed to the substance.
But the postal worker's union complained that union officials and postal workers learned of the incident from the media.
"The safety of postal workers must be management's first concern in an incident like this," APWU President Cliff Guffey said. "Postal workers have a right to be informed immediately and to have the assistance of their union immediately to make sure that everything is being done that can be done to protect their safety."
Management spoke to employees at the Maryland facilities, a D.C. facility that handles government mail and in Memphis. USPS said its primary concern right now is safety of employees, customers and the U.S. mail.
"This matter is part of an ongoing investigation by the United States Capitol Police and FBI," said a statement issued by Wicker. "I want to thank our law enforcement officials for their hard work and diligence in keeping those of us who work in the Capitol complex safe. Gayle and I appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers."
The letter's appearance "wouldn't raise suspicion," the Senate sergeant at arms said.
Mail to Senate suspended
Mail already screened and processed to be delivered to Senate offices will be delivered, but mail service will be suspended Thursday and Friday.
House leadership said there has been no change in their mail service.
"It was caught at the screening facility," McCaskill said. "That's why we have the offsite screening facility for mail. And the tests came back positive. And they are shutting down the post offices temporarily to make sure they get everything squared away and we are notifying our state offices what to look for."
Ricin is fatal if inhaled in a quantity as small as a few grains of table salt -- but it's still far less dangerous than the anthrax spores found in letters sent to the offices of two senators in 2001, officials said.
At a House hearing, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said there have been ricin scares since the 2001 anthrax mailings and procedures are in place to protect postal employees and government offices, the Associate Press reported.
"Over the course of years we've had some situations where there have been ricin scares," Donahoe said. "Until this date, there's never been any actually proved that have gone through the system."

Sandusky man dies in one-car crash
GROTON TWP. - A Sandusky man died in a one-vehicle crash on state Route 4 south of the Ohio Turnpike in Erie County.
Alcohol is suspected, according to the Sandusky post of the Ohio Highway Patrol.
The driver, Timothy M. Hiemstra, 24, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the 2004 Chevrolet Colorado truck and died.
A passenger, Trevor A. Dehn, 24, also of Sandusky, also was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the truck, but he sustained only minor injuries, according to the patrol. Dehn was treated at Firelands Community Hospital, a nursing supervisor said.
The crash occurred at 3:43 a.m. when Hiemstra drove off the right side of the road, struck a sign and the end of a guardrail, overturned and hit another sign post, according to the Patrol. The truck then rolled down an embankment ejecting the two men.
The crash remains under investigation.
Lorain police hold 'John Doe' driver
LORAIN - Police charged a "John Doe" motorist with obstructing official business and pledged to hold him until he discloses his identity following an early-morning crash on Saturday.
The arrest occurred after patrol officers saw a motorist chasing another car at West 31st Street and Reid Avenue at about 1:30 a.m. and discovered a short time later that the two vehicles had crashed.
The driver who refused to give his identity smelled of alcohol and also was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct by intoxication and persisting in disorderly conduct.
An officer in charge was unavailable for comment later Saturday on whether the man had given his name.

SAN FRANCISCO - Activists with hacker skills were behind more than half the data stolen in cyber attacks last year, according to findings released on Thursday by Verizon Communications.
While criminal groups accounted for an overwhelmingly majority of cyber strikes on networks, "hacktivists" were the ones who rampantly looted data once inside computers, Verizon said in an annual Data Breach Investigations Report.
"This re-imagined and re-invigorated specter of 'hacktivism' rose to taunt organizations around the world," the US telecom titan said.
"Many, troubled by the shadowy nature of its origins and proclivity to embarrass victims, found this trend more frightening than other threats."
About 98 percent of computer network breaches at companies last year were the work of outsiders, with criminal groups out for profit were figured to be behind 83 percent of those attacks.
However, it was self-described activist organizations such as Anonymous and Lulz Security who stole 58 percent of the data while being involved in far fewer cyber attacks, according to Verizon.
"While good old-fashioned greed and avarice were still the prime movers, ideological dissent and schadenfreude took a more prominent role across the caseload," the report said.
The report cited data provided by the US Secret Service, the Dutch National High Tech Crime Unit, the Australian Federal Police, the Irish Reporting & Information Security Service and the Police Central e-Crime Unit of the London Metropolitan Police.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 1970, the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire published his book 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed'. It introduced expressions such as 'humanising pedagogy' and the 'banking model' of education which made a profound and lasting impression on my own training. Over 20 years have passed since the National Curriculum and its assessment was implemented in England followed by the introduction of international testing and performance League Tables. These events have produced a dehumanising of the taught curriculum with the pupil a recipient of a delivery model measured by coverage and banking of facts with the accountability for those facts through increasingly minimum competency examinations.
Freire's humanistic principles for an enlightened education system have been submerged internationally by 'one size fits all' government-issue pedagogy; speeded and basic training in 'delivery' for teachers based on the model of pupil as producer of performance data rather than an individual with a stake in his or her own learning journey.
The intention of this Special Issue is to reclaim assessment as an integral part of an equitable pedagogy; in plain terms, assessment to be understood and practised as an essential support to teaching and learning rather than used as a measurement and grading process.

Title: Development centre for principals: a formative assessment approach to enhance principals' learning
Authors:Christine Bieri Buschor and Co-authors
Abstract: There has been a major shift from "schools as a secret garden" towards "accountability" (Day et al., 2011) since 1990. In this context, principals are considered as change agents to improve school effectiveness (Ball, 2008). Competence-based assessments are currently being used to enhance the professional development of principals and teachers. However, summative assessments lead to showing one's skills in terms of "impression management" (Niess, 2012) rather than learning settings. The goal of this article is to show how elements of a developmental assessment centre approach were used to provide a formative assessment for principals to enhance their self-regulated learning and leadership competences.

Title: Involving Students in Assessment: The Role of Interpersonal Factors in Peer Assessment
Authors: Nanine A.E. van Gennip¹, Harm H. Tillema¹ and Mien S.R. Segers²

Abstract: The present study examines how students in vocational education partake in peer assessment while gauging interpersonal variables psychological safety and value congruence. Three assessment conditions are compared: (1) a teacher-based assessment condition; (2) a peer assessment condition using pre specified marking rules, and (3) a peer assessment+ condition, in which students were involved in standard setting. Results indicate that teacher based condition differed significantly from peer assessment conditions in psychological safety as well as value congruence. The levels of psychological safety and value congruence were most pronounced in the peer assessment+ condition compared to those in the regular peer assessment condition, as a result of higher student involvement.
Keywords: Peer assessment, assessment for learning, vocational education, interpersonal variables.

Andrew Walker Interviews Brad Wilcox On Treating All Families Fairly, Expresses Disappointment With Obama's State of the Union Remarks
During the President's State of the Union address this week, he proposed a plan for restructuring the tax code to help middle class families. While initially appealing, his proposals are decidedly one sided. I expressed my displeasure with the plan here, but wanted to take the opportunity to interview my friend Brad Wilcox, one of the nation's foremost sociologists on family structure.

Researchers have found 24 genes that are linked to nearsightedness.
British scientists found the genes that could lead to new breakthroughs in drugs that could benefit millions whose vision appears blurred when looking at distant objects.
It is estimated that 30 percent of Westerners and as much as 80 percent of Asians suffer from myopia, reported HealthDay.
The study looked at 45,000 people in 32 separate studies.
Using the data they found 24 genes directly linked to myopia and another two that may be linked, said Medical News Today.
More from GlobalPost: Brown-eyed people seen as more trustworthy, study shows
"We already knew that myopia tends to run in families, but until now we knew little about the genetic causes," study author Chris Hammond, from King's College London, reported Medical News Today.
"This study reveals for the first time a group of new genes that are associated with myopia and that carriers of some of these genes have a 10-fold increased risk of developing the condition."
The genes discovered relate to brain-eye signaling, eye development and eye structure, said the Daily Mail.
People with the genes have about 10 times the risk of developing short-sightedness than those who do not have them.
The study was published in the journal Nature Genetics.

Hitachi ID Password Manager can be accessed through a variety of user interfaces:
- Transparent password synchronization is initiated from a native
password change on a variety of existing systems, including
Windows server or Active Directory (32-bit, 64-bit), Sun LDAP, IBM LDAP,
Oracle Internet Directory, Unix (various), z/OS and iSeries (AS/400).
- Password Manager can invite users to enroll and notify users of
events relating to their profiles, by sending e-mails, by
opening a web browser from a network login script or by
sending Windows popup messages to users who have signed into
a domain.
- Users can manage their passwords and authentication profiles
using any web browser (desktop, smart phone, tablet, etc.).
The web UI is compatible with reverse web proxies and can be
load balanced across multiple, replicated Password Manager servers.
Users who forget their passwords can dial an IVR system with any
telephone and initiate a password reset. Authentication is typically
either with touch-tone input of answers to security questions, whose
answers are numeric, or by prompting the user to speak the answer to
a security question and performing a biometric voiceprint match.
The call flow in an existing IVR system can be extended to handle this type of self-service, integrating with Password Manager via its API to effect password or PIN resets. Alternately, relevant calls can be rerouted to Hitachi ID Telephone Password Manager, which can handle the entire call flow itself.
- Users who forget their network login password can launch a
kiosk-mode web browser from their PC login screen. This
can be done using multiple methods:
- The Hitachi ID Login Assistant Credential Provider: this is a client installed on
Windows PCs, which adds elements to the login screen. This allows
users who forgot their password or triggered an intruder lockout
to access self-service password reset.
A temporary VPN option is available to assist off-site users.
- An equivalent MacOSX client enables access from the login
screen of domain-joined Mac's, while on-premises.
- A domain secure kiosk account (SKA): is an Active Directory user, normally called "help", with an easy-to-remember or blank password. A security policy (GPO) is applied to this user, to launch a locked down full-screen web browser instead of the usual Windows desktop. This option enables access to password reset from Windows PC login screens without deploying any client software at all.
- The Hitachi ID Login Assistant Credential Provider: this is a client installed on Windows PCs, which adds elements to the login screen. This allows users who forgot their password or triggered an intruder lockout to access self-service password reset.

Yes, this one's for all of you gathered around your TV sets, hushing everyone in the room and anxiously checking your DVR's record settings to make sure everything is a go for tonight's True Detective finale.
Tonight is the night we find out (maybe?) who the Yellow King is. (Pffft, diehard fans already know.) To mark the end of the show, rather than regurgitating theories about how the show will end, I thought I would share with you some of the gorgeous, fan-created True Detective art. The last thing I drew was a map to help a friend get to my apartment. She said it looked like something a monkey would draw in a violent rage. So yeah, I'm mad jelly at talent exhibited here in this work.

Texas Instruments Inc. has introduced two new fully integrated analog front ends (AFEs) with a continuous wave (CW) Doppler mixer for mid- to high-end, Spectral Doppler ultrasound equipment. The AFE5807 and AFE5808 address ultrasound designers' need for superior performance and image quality with the best noise performance at 0.75 nV/rtHz. In addition, the integrated CW mode measures and displays blood flow velocity in ultrasound images. These new devices are 25% smaller than competing solutions, ensuring a compact system footprint for higher channel count.
Additional key features and benefits of the AFE5807 and the AFE5808 include:
- Integrated CW Doppler mixer and summing amplifier with a very low close-in phase noise better than -155 dBc/Hz at 1 KHz off a 2.5 MHz carrier to ease design with CW beamforming
- AFE5807 is a low-power solution with 88 mW/Ch at 1.1 nV/rtHz, 40 MSPS, 12-bit sampling.
- AFE5808 is a high-performance solution with low-noise optimization of 0.75 nV/rtHz, 149 mW/ch, 65 MSPS and a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with 77 dBFS SNR (signal-to-noise ratio).
AFE5807 and AFE5808 extend TI's AFE58xx family of fully integrated ultrasound analog front ends, including the AFE5805 and AFE5804 for portable to mid-range ultrasound and the AFE5801 and AFE5851 for handheld, ultra-portable ultrasound. All AFE58xx devices are complemented on the transmit side by TI's TX810 T/R switch and join TI's full portfolio of embedded processing, analog, and power management solutions for ultrasound applications, allowing manufacturers to bring innovative ultrasound systems to market faster.

Blackley tabbed for Saturday; Straily pushed back
Blackley tabbed for Saturday; Straily pushed back
Straily, it appears, will now go Monday in Texas in place of injured lefty Brett Anderson, should Anderson miss his scheduled start against the Rangers as anticipated, after he suffered a right oblique strain in Wednesday's 6-2 loss.
A's manager Bob Melvin cited matchup reasons for the switch, and Blackley, who has already bounced back and forth between the rotation and bullpen multiple times this year, is on board with the new plan. It will mark not only his first career appearance at Yankee Stadium but his first outing against the Yankees.
"Obviously, when you grew up, that's who you pictured yourself pitching against, the New York Yankees in Yankee Stadium, so it's going to be one of those dreams coming true again, and I'm looking forward to it," Blackley said.
The southpaw isn't too worried about such anticipation hindering his performance, though, even while also understanding the game's significance from a team standpoint, as it will come in the middle of the A's crucial 10-game road trip that could decide their postseason fate.
"If you're looking at it like that, you're going to psych yourself out," Blackley said. "I'm just thinking about keeping the team in the game as long as possible.
"It's good to know that they can trust you to take the reins when they need it. I'm trying to treat it like any other game, not think too much about it and go out there and get outs."
Blackley has excelled in every role with the A's this year, posting a 4-3 record and 3.97 ERA in 12 starts, along with a 2.86 ERA spanning 13 relief appearances.
Straily, meanwhile, is coming off a poor outing against the Orioles, having allowed them four runs on five hits, including two home runs, and five walks with one strikeout in 4 2/3 innings on Sunday. The rookie has never faced the Rangers.

Paulino's return likely after All-Star break
Paulino's return likely after All-Star break
Astros manager Brad Mills and pitching coach Brad Arnsberg have discussed giving Paulino the extra time to make sure he's healed. And considering he's thrown 86 innings -- his career high in the pros is 132 1/3 -- the extra rest might be a good idea.
"We're definitely going to be cautious with him, especially since he's such a special arm," Mills said. "We want to make sure he's 100 percent and his strength is back where it needs to be. We need to err on the side of caution and let him get strong."
Paulino, who is 1-8 with a 4.40 ERA in 14 starts, is throwing off flat ground and played catch with Mills on the field prior to Saturday's game. But there are not yet any plans for him to get on a mound and begin throwing.
"He threw the ball real well," Mills said.

The Dallas Cowboys came away with a 38-33 win on Sunday night, but for obvious reasons, defensive coordinator Rob Ryan wasn't in much of a celebratory mood following the game.
Ryan's defense allowed 423 yards from an offense that was without Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson--their best passer, runner and receiver, respectively. 183 of these yards came on the ground.
"We've just got to figure out what they do best and play sound football," Ryan said, per ESPN Dallas. "We were struggling there, obviously. That goes without saying. It's tough identifying exactly what we're going to be best at. That's the situation we're in. We're not making excuses.
"We battled back. We won. Thank God for our offense. But, hell, we've got to fix it. We've got to play better than that, and we will."
Ryan admitted after the victory that he hadn't anticipated the defense having such a rough night against the banged-up Eagles.
"I never knew it was going to be as difficult as what we made it look tonight. It shouldn't be that difficult," he said. "We should have been better than that. That's on me. Hell, we'll get it fixed."

I formated the whole PNY device as wbfs and can use the latest USB Loader GX to play my backup of WiiPlay (party pack). However, now that I try to make the same backup onto my WD passport, it won't play. The screen goes black and then nothging, it just hangs. I have to hold the power button on the Wii to shut it down.
The passport is formatted as partition 1 wbfs = 468GB
partition 2 fat32 = 32GB
I can play some games on the WD like SimAgents and Marble Balance Challenge, which works on both USB devices, but just not WiiPlay, which does work on my flash drive.
I have system 4.0u
IOS55,53,38 and 249 installed from this site.
Any help would be appreciated!
