Hawaii Island Retreat is just that-a secluded, private, quiet retreat away from the daily bustle of everyday life. This resort is located on the legendary North Kohala Coast and is nestled on 50 acres of groves, valley trails, lush foliage and landscaping.
Upon entering the property, you drive down a winding road, passing a giant windmill. This retreat runs on sustainable energy and is part of the international ecotourism society. They also grow organic fruits and vegetables, and eggs. The retreat recycles and composts and their spa and amenity products are also organic. Hawaii Island Retreat received 6 out of 7 green leaves from the International EcoTourism Society, making this resort a top pick on Best Green Hotels.
From the Porte Cochere, you can clearly see through to the open courtyard with extended views of the ocean. The courtyard is ensconced with trees of Ylang Ylang, Gardenia, Jasmine, and Paklan-an actual night blossom. Amidst this lovely garden is the outdoor dining room. Meals are prepared daily by their Executive Chef Moe. Moe will make your meals specific to your dietary needs, as well as explain the preparation and ingredients of each course. I felt like a celebrity with my own personal chef!
This intimate retreat only has 9 rooms and suites. I stayed in the stunning Penthouse Lanai. The room was beautiful and serene. The patio was huge and I had great views of the countryside, the ocean, and a magnificent cliff. Each room is equipped with organic bamboo robes, cd and cd player with mp3 port as well as an Ipod docking station; organic shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Notice I did not mention a tv-nope, nada. For your viewing pleasure there is a huge flat screen tv available in the media room that you may use at your leisure.
This retreat has a spa, a yoga studio, and a salt water infinity pool. You can either have your massage in a room or outside overlooking ahu pohaku (gathering place of the great stones). Within this beautiful, serene bowl they have a ku kui tree (medicine tree). I won't spoil you by telling you the meaning of the ahu pohaku, but if you do venture here, Jeanne Sunderland, the owner who also lives on the property, would be happy to take you on a tour and explain to you the rich history behind this exotic retreat.
I received a Swedish massage from Jaime, who did a wonderful job. It was outdoors overlooking the gathering stones. Jaime works for the retreat providing spa treatments to include massages and facials and she also teaches yoga classes in the yoga studio that is located on property. She was extremely professional & paid extra attention to my problem areas.
When I first arrived, I felt that this place was mainly for couples, but since I have been here, I feel that this place is ideal for anyone seeking to find themselves and to just be. Waking up daily to the musical sound of the ocean and the birds chirping was bewitching, and I already miss it.
Thank you Jeanne, Kelly, Moe, and Jaime for a lovely vacation at Hawaii Island Retreat!

VERNON – After the Rockville High softball team defeated top-seeded and favored Foran-Milford in the Class L championship game, the players were excited to win, not just for themselves, but for their school.
"I just wanted this feeling at the end," junior pitcher Kaitlyn Lajoie said after the 3-2 victory. "We all wanted it, but none of us thought we would get here because we're … Rockville. We needed it. The whole entire school was behind us and that's what drove us to win this."
Two busses full of students and fans went to the game at DeLuca Field in Stratford, and the crowd filled the first base side. The Foran fans, whose team was the defending Class L champion, chanted, "Where's Rockville?"
"It's nice for everyone to know where Rockville is now," junior catcher Chrissy Pettengill said, laughing.
Rockville was the school that spawned the likes of football player Bill Romanowski, who starred for the San Francisco 49ers, and which won two state football titles in 1989 and 1990. But recently, many of the Rams sports teams have fallen on lean years. There have been a few titles. Baseball won a Class L state championship in 2000 and was the runner-up in 1999. Hockey, as a co-operative team, won a title in 2008.
The Rams have top individual athletes like senior Jenny Mears, a soccer player and member of the track team who won the state high school Heisman Award given annually to a student that stands out in athletics, academics and commuinity service; and gymnast Daniel DiBennetto, going to Minnesota on scholarship. But there has been little success in the top team sports like soccer, basketball or football, which tend to bring a student body together in a show of school pride.
"It was really exciting [to win] because a lot of the teams don't win," sophomore shortstop Emily Berg said. "It was good for everyone to get excited about something."
People set off fireworks as the softball team's bus pulled back into the school that Saturday night after the championship game. There were handmade posters in the hallways. Classmates had followed the game on Twitter or watched it on TV and were heard talking in the hallways about the different plays.
"I would bet we had at least 500 from the Vernon community, which was great," assistant coach Mike Maltese said. "Our first base side was completely filled. It was good to see the community behind us."
Softball finished 22-2, a standout season even if the Rams hadn't won the title. In contrast, last year, the boys and girls basketball teams each won four games. The boys soccer team did not win a game and the football team only won one. After softball, girls soccer (6-9-2), baseball (8-13) and the boys hockey co-op team (9-12) were the most successful teams. Girls soccer and baseball made it to the state tournament but lost in the first round, while the hockey team advanced to the Division III quarterfinals, where it lost 5-4 in overtime to Berlin.
Some sports struggle to get numbers. Even softball had only 21 players, 12 on varsity and nine on JV.
Maltese has coached in the district since 1999. He was the head softball coach until he became the school's assistant principal. Now he is teaching math at the middle school.
"Our athletic department has been looking into that, over the past 6-8 years since [athletic director] Steve Phelps took over," Maltese said. "Right now, there are a lot of opportunities for kids in Vernon to do other things. We have an active drama and music department. A lot of our kids work. We're trying to get to the bottom of it. We communicate with the parks and rec all the time, the middle school coaches, the middle school administration. How can we get our participation rate up? Right now we don't have a good answer. It's not for lack of effort."
Frank Levick took over the softball program three years ago when Maltese became the assistant principal. He said his team has always had numbers issues. He had 19 players and only nine varsity players his first year. Most of his players are coming back next year but he only knows of five freshmen coming in. He hopes the title will boost interest amongst the younger players in town.
"We had a lot of young Little League players, seventh and eighth grade players, who showed up for the [championship] game," said Levick,. "I'm hoping they say, 'I want to go up to the high school and I want to play there because those guys are a good team.' I'm hoping that's going to translate into numbers next year.
"Since I've been here, it's been a numbers thing. I'm trying to build a good program. I want the kids to see that hard work pays off. You come here, work hard and you could be wearing one of these medals, having the plaque, the rings."
Softball didn't just win the title out of the blue. Many of the Rockville players have been together since they were 9 and 10. The Rams have been a conference power for the last 15 years and always make the state tournament, but just couldn't get past the quarterfinals — where they lost in 2003, 2008, 2009 and 2011.
Until this year.
"It seems everywhere you go, in the grocery store, everyone's giving you high fives," Levick said. "It's a great thing for Rockville."

So you have an existing data plan, and you want to scoop up the next iPhone but you're afraid that carriers will charge an exorbitant penalty fee that could empty your wallet — well AT&T users are in luck. In light of Apple's iPhone 5 announcement today, the carrier says that existing data plans would be grandfathered into their iPhone 5 purchase.
"We offer customers the flexibility to keep the iPhone data plans they already have or choose any of our individual or new Mobile Share plans. We're proud that more customers choose AT&T for iPhone than any other U.S. carrier and look forward to making iPhone 5 the newest addition to our lineup," Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO of AT&T Mobility, said.
One thing to note is that the iPhone 5 is a 4G LTE smartphone. Existing iPhones use 3G, or for those of you on AT&T and have updated to iOS 5.1, you would have been switched to what AT&T claims to be worthy of the 4G title. Debate over this label hasn't deterred AT&T from branding its existing service as a 4G network.
"AT&T customers have access to the nation's largest 4G network, covering 275 million people. Built on top of this widespread 4G network, blazing-fast 4G LTE is available in more than 60 markets today and planned in more than 100 by the end of this year," the release added.
In reality, Apple would have needed to make some hardware changes, which we're seeing on the iPhone 5, before AT&T iPhones could claim to be using a true 4G network.
Verizon, after heated backlash for the company's decision not to grandfather in existing unlimited data plans for users that did not need to switch to a tiered data plan, overturned that decision. Verizon, like AT&T, will grandfather in unlimited plans when users switch to the iPhone, but will not offer to subsidize the cost of an iPhone 5. What that means it that you're going to have to pay the full retail price of the phone if your two year contract isn't up by the time the iPhone 5 is stocked on September 21.
AT&T customers can go onto AT&T's page for the iPhone, and pre-order the iPhone 5 beginning on September 14. And as already announced, the new Apple smartphone will cost $199.99 for the 16GB model, $299.99 for the 32GB model, and $399.99 for the 64GB model, granted that you sign up for a two year data plan.

Product review: Six removable device control security products
Six removable device control security products that provide centrally managed granular control over ports, interfaces and storage devices are reviewed. This review evaluates: DeviceLock 6.0 from SmartLine, Sanctuary Device Con-trol 4.0 from SecureWave, Endpoint Access Manager 3.0 from ControlGuard, Device-Wall 4.5 from Centennial Software, Safend Protector 3.1 from Safend and Protect Mobile from Workshare.

Our mobile workforce can steal or lose sensitive data quickly and without detection, from a software developer sneaking out gigabytes of valuable source code on his iPod to an executive's wireless-enabled laptop being sniffed at the local coffee shop.
Think about all the ways we move and store data on mobile devices: USB ports, which support a multitude of portable storage devices, including flash drives, portable hard drives, printers, and music and video players; FireWire, PCMCIA, serial and parallel ports, CDs/DVDs, tape drives and even the lowly floppy drive. Add unprotected WiFi, Bluetooth and Infrared (IrDA) connections, and you have a real security nightmare on your hands.
It wasn't long ago that security administrators controlled access to USB ports with epoxy or caulk and physically disabled onboard wireless. Now, however, instead of trying to ban use of portable storage devices and wireless connections, organizations can select from a fairly new but effective group of products that give them granular policy-based control over their use. Device control products can help balance productivity with security by allowing administrators to centrally authorize and monitor endpoint devices.
In a head-to-head review, Information Security examined six device control products, all of which provide centrally managed granular control over ports, interfaces and storage devices: DeviceLock 6.0 from SmartLine, Sanctuary Device Con-trol 4.0 from SecureWave, Endpoint Access Manager 3.0 from ControlGuard, Device-Wall 4.5 from Centennial Software, Safend Protector 3.1 from Safend and Protect Mobile from Workshare.
Making the Grade
Click here for a comparison chart of the six device control tools we evaluated (PDF).
Each product was graded based on its ease of installation and configuration, policy, tampering resistance, port and device control, encryption support, performance, and monitoring, alerting and reporting. Overall, we found all the products performed as advertised, but there are enough differences to consider when choosing a portable endpoint data control solution (see "Making the Grade," (PDF)).
Getting Started
All the products we tested have similar architectures--server, console and client/agent--based on a Windows platform, although each included support for Novell's directory services. We deployed each product on an identical simulated enterprise network (see "About This Review," at right) using numerous desktops and laptops, supporting multiple ports and removable storage devices.
Centennial's DeviceWall was the easiest product to install, since it requires only two components--the Control Center and the Client Service. With a half-dozen ways to roll out the client, DeviceWall got our top vote for installation and configuration.
ControlGuard and DeviceLock have similar setups, consisting of a server, client and multiple Windows-based ways to administer the product (Active Directory, MMS, SMS, GPO). With two different client agents--active and passive--ControlGuard gave us more to consider during setup. We deployed both types of agents and concluded that this aspect of ControlGuard should be simplified with a single agent that could perform in either or both modes.
DeviceWall and DeviceLock had easy install wizards that walked us through setting up initial permissions and policies. DeviceLock's wizard allowed us to set permissions for ports and devices, getting us running quickly.
Installing and configuring Workshare Protect Mobile took the most effort, because it is part of an enterprise suite of three components. It delivered comprehensive endpoint protection, but didn't provide the depth of granularity or functionality as the other products.
The installation of SecureWave was the most difficult, because of its four components--a database server, an application server with two subcomponents, the management console and the client. We also encountered several client deployment issues that required extra time reconfiguring our firewall.
About this Review
Information Security deployed six portable storage device control products in our test lab.
All the products were tested in a Microsoft Windows environment with Active Directory, although some supported Novell. All the products utilized either an embedded or external version of a SQL database.
Our testing environment included wired and wireless network connectivity with both desktops and laptops, supporting an array of portable storage devices including USB flash drives, FireWire external hard drives, CD-RW drives and floppy disk drives. Our testing also included PDAs and serial docking stations, smart phones with Bluetooth connections, PCMCIA wireless adapters and multifunction printer/scanner/fax/copier machines on both USB and parallel ports.
Concentrating on real-world scenarios, we blocked devices such as portable music players and storage devices (flash drives, FireWire drives) while allowing legitimate peripherals including keyboards, mice, printers, faxes and scanners. Drilling down into the granular policies, we set CD/DVD drives to read-only and disabled Bluetooth and IrDA connections, while allowing WiFi use.
Multiple attempts to introduce devices contrary to policy were performed using a variety of devices and connections, including portable storage devices infected with known malware including worms, Trojans and keyloggers.
Policy Configuration/Enforcement
Ultimately, everything boils down to policy and enforcement and performance. Policy granularity is a driving factor in each of these six products. For portable storage devices, our testing revealed nearly identical features, including monitoring and control over reading, writing and blocking.
Policies were determined by device types and classes, ports, connections, machines and users. With all the products, we could set up who could use what device/port/connection and when.
The policy options available are so plentiful, it's easy to get overwhelmed and confused. We found it was easier to start with our global policies and work to more detailed policies, such as those for individual users. We were also able to set different policies for the same user/computer determined by online/offline status. That means when a mobile user returns to the office and logs in to the domain, wireless interfaces can be turned off, and corporate asset protection, such as file filtering, engaged.
All the products allowed very fine-grained policy, mainly through whitelists--the more granular the policies a product supports, the better the controls. DeviceLock provided the most detailed assignment of authorized devices. For example, we were able to allow a single Fire-Wire portable hard drive based on its serial number. The exceptions can also work in reverse; for example, you can shut down access for terminated employees or limit devices to read-only.
We liked how SecureWave's Sanctuary Device Control comes out of the box with a default deny-all policy. No data was allowed to be transferred to external storage devices until we set up authorization. Allowing only what you authorize--instead of trying to blacklist what you don't--is sound security policy.
SecureWave has a number of ways to keep tabs on traffic, including data transfer throttling and file type filtering.
For example, we set policies that limited file types to Microsoft Office files no larger than 5 MB. Regardless of how we tried to save CAD files--both less than and in excess of our size limit--to flash drives, portable hard drives or write to CD, we were unable to do so.
ControlGuard earns kudos for recognizing that many mobile workers also connect directly to the corporate network. We easily set up two distinctly different policies, offline and online. We simulated a common problem that occurs when mobile workers connect their WiFi-enabled laptops directly to the corporate network--they still have a live wireless connection. For our testing purposes, when laptop users logged on to the domain, their WiFi adapters were disabled.
ControlGuard addresses another real-world scenario, exercising control over multiple users logging on to a single machine or a single user with access to multiple machines. This is where a firm understanding of policy hierarchy is required. For example, a user having rights to a USB port on one machine doesn't necessarily mean he has the same rights on another.
For organizations that want to further enforce policy through enterprise-class management systems, Control-Guard's Endpoint Access Manager is designed to integrate with third-party products like HP OpenView and CA Unicenter.
Safend offers similar policy control through role-based access and prohibiting simultaneously enabling multiple networking protocols. One feature that really caught our attention was the ability to easily print a summary of our entire policy anytime. This means corporate policy can be posted or viewed by management, which doesn't have access to the console, but needs access to security policies.
Overall, DeviceWall's policy configuration was the least intuitive of the products tested, although the Master Policy tree accessed through the Control Center provided a clean interface for configuring 16 different device categories, including digital cameras, scanners, smart phones, and BlackBerry, Palm OS and Windows Mobile devices. We would have liked to have seen all the individual categories for mobile handheld devices under a single high-level branch on the tree, instead of each given its own. It would make the Control Center interface much less cluttered.
When building complex policies that limit or deny the availability of computer resources, there are bound to be exceptions to the rules. DeviceWall was our favorite product for bending the rules. It let us assign temporary access for up to three devices either for the current Windows session or by start time and duration. Even when we weren't connected to the network or Internet to push out a change in policy, DeviceWall gave us the option to generate a key that could be verbally exchanged or sent via text message over a mobile phone to provide temporary access to the restricted port or device.
DeviceLock's exception to policy functions similarly to DeviceWall's temporary access, but lacked the granularity to assign any length of time, giving only the option to use the restricted resource during that particular Windows Session.
Safend allows for the temporary suspension of the client, even when the computer is offline.
Encryption Gains Ground
Data encryption has long been a strong security technology, but its use has been generally limited because of the complexity of implementing and maintaining it, as enterprises wrestle with thorny issues such as a key management and security.
That's all changing because of regulatory requirements and the exposure of data through Internet-facing applications. Nowhere has this become more evident than with the ubiquitous use of high-capacity portable storage media. Five out of six solutions Information Security tested for this review have integrated automatic forced encryption capabilities into their products.
Although the use of automated encryption for portable storage media is solving numerous security issues, there are still significant challenges to address.
Nate Lawson, senior researcher at Cryptography Research (www.cryptography.com), a security consulting and technology licensing firm, points out that there is plenty of room for improvement with the widespread use of encryption for storing information.
"How do I make sure I never lose or destroy that key, because if I do, it's like losing the entire set of data," Lawson says. "I won't be able to decrypt it again."
While there are lots of standards for encryption (AES, DES, 3DES, etc.) and protocols (SSL), there is little standardization for key backup.
Lawson sees this as a potential pain point, especially in M&A scenarios and because of the speed at which technology becomes obsolete.
Before organizations begin routinely encrypting portable storage media through solutions such as the ones we tested, they need to examine the lifecycle of the data being stored and ensure access to decryption tools, such as keys and software.
We attempted to circumvent our installed clients through a variety of methods. Often, installed components can be sidestepped by local users who have administrative rights to their machine. Even with local admin rights, we were unable to modify or remove any of the installed clients.
Tens of millions of USB flash drives are sold every year, and you can bet some are going to be lost or stolen, sometimes with sensitive data. DeviceWall was our pick for the lost flash drive scenario. When we inserted a USB flash drive into a bare-bones laptop running no device control client, we received the message that our drive was not formatted and asked if we would like to format it. Had the drive contained confidential information, the cost associated with losing the data to the wrong entities could be devastating, but thanks to DeviceWall, less than a minute after plugging in the uncontrolled drive, it was wiped clean.
We also addressed the issue of theft, loss and tampering of removable storage devices and media through the products' use of encryption. DeviceLock, which was generally outstanding in other areas, was the only product in our testing that did not support any type of encryption, which brought down its overall grade.
SecureWave set the bar with two different types of encryption--centralized, which allows administrators to set the requirements, and decentralized, meaning an authorized user can decide when to encrypt. Additionally, you can export keys to a file or to the portable device for access to encrypted media offline, although we felt that this compromised the security of the portable storage device. SecureWave offers the strongest encryption, with AES 256.
DeviceWall offers two different ciphers--AES and Blowfish--in both global and individual user key models. For instance, a company might require its HR employees to automatically encrypt all data transmitted via WiFi or saved to portable media. However, encryption is only available for use with USB flash drives. On the plus side, DeviceWall allows you to easily back up the Global Key, so data can be retrieved if the key is lost.
ControlGuard also provides encryption for secured USB drives. We liked its "self-destruct" feature, which limits the lifecycle of the data accessible on the drive.
Workshare Protect Mobile provides the most flexible client-side encryption through PGP based upon content. Once files have been identified as requiring additional security, they are automatically encrypted.
Safend's encryption is the most transparent to users. We were able to use the same encrypted USB drive on all the machines on our network with the Safend client installed without ever realizing the device had been encrypted. Of course, when we attempted to use the drive in a non-Safend computer, we were unable to access the drive.
One big worry with encrypted files on portable media is the decryption software won't be available when needed. Safend had the forethought for just such a scenario and includes a Home Decryption Utility that allows authorized users to access information on encrypted devices when the Protector Client is not present.
Wireless Control
Wireless covers a lot of territory on today's mobile devices. All the products we looked at included comprehensive control over WiFi, Bluetooth and IrDA interfaces.
Since its introduction, there has been a lot of hand-wringing over WiFi connections. Administrators disable onboard wireless, but still have to worry about an employee using their own inexpensive PCMCIA wireless adapter so they can hook up at home or a hotspot.
Administrators are just catching up to smart phones and PDAs, which are increasingly taking advantage of Bluetooth technology for file transfer and synchronization with laptops. An inexpensive USB Bluetooth adapter can quickly connect a PC to a Pocket PC.
And let's not forget about IrDA. Not as powerful or popular as WiFi or Bluetooth, infrared personal area network connectivity still presents a vulnerability.
Safend clocked in with the best control for WiFi, based upon MAC addresses, SSID and network security levels.
The remaining products didn't provide as much control as Safend, but they all provided basic permit/deny wireless interface blocking functionalities that identified all wireless interfaces regardless of type. For instance, we set policy to deny all WiFi with a laptop containing an onboard wireless adapter. As we added PCMCIA and USB wireless adapters, they too were disabled despite those ports not having any deny policy assigned to them.
Auditing and Reporting
While the majority of our testing was devoted to the verification of security features, in today's regulatory environment, a robust auditing feature can be just as critical as security.
The most comprehensive monitoring feature for this purpose is shadowing, which is the ability to record all data transferred to and/or from a device or port. DeviceLock and SecureWave both support shadowing.
During our testing, shadowing allowed us to capture all data sent to specific devices, including our printer/scanner/copier/fax machine. How many companies actually monitor the information sent over a fax or documents that have been scanned? Low-tech crimes are often overlooked.
The only drawback we could see with data shadowing was, ultimately, data storage. A large enterprise could generate an enormous amount of data.
Safend uses file logging; while not as robust as shadowing, it lets administrators track what files are being accessed, moved, deleted, created and modified.
Safend took the honors for the most useful logs, with excellent information for forensic investigations.
We also liked DeviceWall's detailed Policy Change Logs, which record all the policy changes made and provide comprehensive connection reporting. On the other hand, we found the graphical Audit Log Reports and Acceptable Risk meter of little use to a security professional.
Spotlight on the Endpoint
Mobility and portability make data protection a far more complicated problem than it once was. They've given this product market traction it wouldn't have seen just a couple of years ago. As the products mature, they feature improved reporting and central management capabilities, and, in most cases, combine en-cryption with device control for stronger endpoint security.
We're starting to see similar capabilities in more comprehensive security and data protection products. Expect to see these products extend their feature sets or get folded into broader products, as larger companies continue their pattern of acquiring key new technologies.
Time and experience have taught the security community that going to the root of a problem will often save time and money. Priced on a per-user, annual basis, for larger enterprises, these products can become pricey on top of existing security solutions licensed on an annual basis, such as antivirus/antispyware. Nevertheless, endpoint security has clearly moved center stage, and many corporations are going to do what it takes to protect their data as it moves out into the world.

Champaign, Illinois
In "Spelling: From Invention to Strategies," Howard Miller begins a lesson on "constructed" spelling by surveying his middle school students, using Goodman, Watson, and Burke's question from Reading Miscue Inventory (1987): "When you are working on a writing assignment and you want to write a word you don't know how to spell, what do you do?"
Here, students are prompted by that question to become more explicitly aware of, and to articulate, the strategies they use while responding in writing to short story previously read by the class. The goal is to encourage (nearly) uninterrupted drafting, while allowing students to slow down briefly to consider the spelling of difficult words, which should become the routine when writing in and out of class. During the post-writing phase, students confer in small groups to share spelling strategies they used after drafting and then refer to standard spelling resources.
Alphabet Organizer: Students use this online tool to organize lists of words alphabetically, create pages for alphabet books, and more.
When students "construct" spelling using sound, sight recall, and analyzing strategies, among others, instead of memorizing lists of words, they produce more accurate (i.e., standard) spelling and increase their retention. In "Spelling: From Invention to Strategies," Howard Miller describes what happened when he asked students to list three things they might do when they want to write a word they can't spell. Over half the students listed "sounding it out" as their main strategy with most of the rest listing "looking it up," and "asking someone" as their main strategies. (Miller, 2002)
This lesson invites students to increase their self-awareness of the strategies they successfully use when they encounter a word they don't know how to spell-without breaking their stride as they draft a piece of writing.

A Cortez man was arrested Monday morning on numerous charges after being accused of aggravated robbery and shooting a handgun several times in two residences Sunday night.
According to a Cortez Police Department report, Mark Dunn was arrested in the driveway of his residence Monday morning.
According to the police report, Teresa Carlson-Dunn, Mark Dunns wife, told officers the incident began when she questioned her husband about whether he should be driving after drinking alcohol.
This is the second recent brush with the law for Mark Dunn. He was accused of stabbing another patron at Blondies Pub and Grill in Cortez on Aug. 16 but the district attorney elected to not follow through with charges, saying that the case was possibly self defense.
The police report from the Sunday night incident stated that Mark Dunn became upset before pulling a gun from his waistband and firing a shot slightly above and a little to the left of her head.
Teresa Carlson-Dunn told police she got out of bed, went to her drawer, retrieved a bag with two guns inside, grabbed her car keys and left the house.
She said that as she attempted to flee on Highway 145, her husband followed, but was not directly behind her. After she saw a dead cat in the road, she stopped because she thought it might be her missing cat. At that point, Mark Dunn caught up with her, and she said he swerved his car in the direction of her drivers side door.
Both vehicles made their way to Rampart Road, and Teresa Dunn executed a U-turn and headed toward the Montezuma County Sheriffs Department while calling her husbands brother, Todd Dunn, to tell him what happened and how crazy her husband was acting, the police report said.
Teresa Carlson-Dunn, when question by police, said she was in fear of her life when her husband fired the gun so close to her head.
At about 10 p.m. Sunday, Cortez Police were dispatched to a home in the 900 block of North Henry Street for a report of shots fired where Todd Dunn lived.
He told police that shortly after talking to Teresa Carlson-Dunn, there was a knock at his door, and not knowing who it was at that time of night, he retrieved a gun.
After realizing it was his brother, Todd Dunn told officers he placed the gun at his side and opened the door.
According to the police report, Todd Dunn said once Mark Dunn entered the residence, there was a struggle. Mark Dunn reportedly grabbed his brother by the right forearm, and as the two fought for control of the gun, Todd Dunn was bitten on the chin. He reported that the bite hurt so bad that Mark Dunn took possession of the firearm.
Todd Dunn told police that his brother fired the gun three to four times in the house with one bullet narrowly missing a friends son who was sleeping in a spare bedroom when one of the bullets went through a wall.
Mark Dunn then left the residence with the gun. Todd Dunn expressed fear that his brother was going to come back to take him out or to plant a firebomb, the report said.
Todd Dunn told police he did not want to stay in the house while his brother was at large so he stayed at a local motel.
At about 3:30 a.m., Mark Dunn called police dispatch and asked for officers to call him back.
When Officer Ryan Carter called back, Dunn told Carter that he wanted to turn himself in, but said he was afraid he would be stopped for driving under the influence if he drove. Dunn asked if he could be picked up by officers. Police did not feel comfortable with that arrangement because of the weapons he may have possessed and, fearing an ambush, told him he would have to drive to the jail to turn himself in.
Officers spotted Dunn driving on Mildred Road, where they followed him to his house where he was arrested.
Police were unable to locate the gun he allegedly fired at his house or the firearm he took from his brothers home.
Dunn was arrested for aggravated robbery, criminal mischief, two counts of felony menacing, felon in possession of a firearm, 3rd degree assault, theft, prohibited use of a firearm, two counts of reckless endangerment and domestic violence.
Dunn, whose next court appearance is Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 2:30 p.m., is being held at the Montezuma County Detention Center on a $25,000 bail.


text: Adequate 3 The bag is of decent size and the price is great. The shoulder strap is one big negative. It has popped loose several times causing my laptop to hit the ground. I can't find the cause or a reason, it just pops loose occasionally. Also, the strap slips over time and gets longer. The handle on the top is completely falling apart after 2 years. I rarely use the handle since it has a strap, so I guess the handle is just weak. It still does what it is supposed to, so I would recommend with a warning. Dr. B Columbia, SC 2015-12-01

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
When we've made our previous guide for dual mining BTC and LTC on a Gridseed 5-chip GC3355 ASIC we've only had an earlier revision of the miner that used CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller. Now that we already have a newer revision with the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port we have decided to update the guide with information on how to Dualmine on these ASIC devices. Note that we do not recommend using these devices for dual mining mode, but for Scrypt only mode instead, but you are free to decide for yourself. The advantages of using Scrypt only mode are the low power consumption and heat, the ability to overclock higher, including with a voltage modification and a choice of multiple more up to date software miners. Note that the only way for the moment to use the Dual Mining mode on the Gridseed 5-chip GC3355 ASIC devices is to use the special version of cgminer 3.8.5 for BTC mining (SHA-256) along with the special modified version of cpuminer for Gridseed for LTC mining. Due to the way that the Dual Mining mode is realized on these ASICs using a more recent version of cgminer or bfgminer for LTC (Scrypt) mining on these devices along with the cgminer for BTC mining is not possible at the moment.
– Open up Windows Device Manager and go to the Ports (COM & LPT) and note the COM port that is written behind the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port driver
– Download and run the latest version of Zadig
– From the Zadig interface select Options and choose List All Devices
– From the Dropdown list of devices select STM32 Virtual COM Port and click on Replace Driver with the WinUSB driver selected
– Download the dualmining package that we have prepared for windows that contains cgminer 3.8.5 for BTC mining and cpuminer for LTC mining
– Edit the BAT files for the two software miners included in the archive with your settings for BTC and LTC mining pools
– In the LTC-START.bat file you will see an option "gc3355=\\.\COM4", here you need to change the COM port number to the one you have seen in the device manager before updating the driver with Zadig to use WinUSB
– First you need to start cgminer 3.8.5 for BTC mining, wait a few seconds until the software starts up and connects to the pool and starts working
– Then start the cpuminer for LTC mining, note that you will need to wait for some more time here before the miner connects and starts working, but it it takes more than a minute maybe something is not right
If you still haven't used cpuminer for Gridseed you should know that the software does not report local hashrate, so the zeroes you see are normal, it is actually working and sending shares. Also note that when in Dual Mining mode you will not be able to overclock the device as high as when only in Scrypt mining mode, so it is normal to be getting lower hasrate. As we've already said, we do not recommend the Dual Mining mode and suggest to use these ASIC devices for Scrypt mining mode only, especially if you want to run multiple devices.
– Download the DualMining package for BTC/LTC mining on Gridseed 5-chip GC3355 ASIC for Windows…
If you are using the 5-chip Gridseed ASIC devices in Scrypt only mining mode you probably already know that they are using about 8W of power when overclocked. But what about optimizing the power usage even more by removing the noisy fan that might be needed for the 60W power usage in Dual mode or the 50 and something in BTC only mode, but you can go without it in Scrypt only mode. So we did just that, desoldered the fan from the ASIC and ran the device in fanless mode. And surprise, surprise the total power usage without the fan gets down to just about 5-6W overclocked to 850 MHz, but what about cooling without a fan?
Running for more than 2 hours already the ASIC in fanless mode mining Scrypt has shown that it can do just fine with passive cooling. The maximum temperature was about 36.6 degrees Celsius at the hottest point with an ambient temperature of about 25 degrees Celsius. Don't get the wrong impression from the thermal images, these temperatures for passive cooling are more than adequate and essentially the cooling radiator is considered cool, meaning that in Scrypt only mining mode you can do just fine with passive cooling at lower ambient temperatures. If you have multiple units together you might want to have a single big fan with slow rpm just to move a bit of air around them you you can be safe even when the summer heat hits.
A word of warning though, if you remove the fan from the Gridseed 5-chip ASIC devices and for some reason you start a miner for Scrypt that does not stop the BTC mining part or you start the dual mining mode you will have trouble with cooling the device and this can lead to a damage of the ASIC caused by overheating of the chips – most likely the first to blow up would be the voltage regulators. So be careful that you run only in Scrypt mode if going fanless and to use miners that do activate only the Scrypt mining mode and disable the SHA-256 one.
Today we have decided to compare the Gridseed 5-chip BTC/LTC Dual Mode ASIC devices in terms of thermal characteristics when operating in Scrypt only mining mode (~8W overclocked) and in Scrypt/SHA-256 dual mining mode (~65W overclocked). We wanted to see how good the massive radiator and high-speed cooling fan will be able to handle in the two modes and more specifically in the dual mode as it is apparently designed to cool the device properly with the high power consumption that it has when mining for BTC (SHA-256) and LTC (Scrypt) at the same time. So we put two ASIC devices next to each other, the one on the left is running in Scrypt only mining mode and the one on the right in Dual mode mining for BTC and LTC at the same time.
We left the devices to work for an hour before taking the thermal images in order to see what are the temperatures of the two miners. Note that the top of the devices does not seem very hot and the highest temperature is that of the cooling fan's motor. You can however see that around the device running in Dual mode the temperature is higher due to the hot air that is being blown. Looking at the bottom part of the device however we can see more serious difference in the operating temperatures of the two devices. The highest temperature of the device mining in Scrypt only mode we measured is 32.1 degrees Celsius, the device in Dual mode on the right however shows very different results – the maximum temperature we have measured was 73.5 degrees Celsius. As expected the highest temperature measured is at the part where the 3 voltage regulators are located and while they are probably rated to work at temperatures of up to 100-120 degrees C they still do get quite hot as they do not have direct contact with the cooling radiator of the device. So if you plan on running the Gridseed 5-chip BTC/LTC ASIC in Dual mode you might want to consider adding additional small radiators for problem free operation in the long run. The maximum temperature of the Dual mode ASIC aside from the voltage regulator's region was 44 degrees Celsius, so the cooling of the Gridseed GC3355 chips is more than adequate.
What we would recommend however if you are getting Gridseed 5-chip BTC/LTC Dual Mode ASIC devices is to stick to running them in Scrypt only mining mode where their real advantage is – high performance Scrypt mining hashrate with very low power usage… and no potential problems with the cooling either. Next up we are going to desolder the fan of the Gridseed ASIC devices to see how they will be handling passive cooling in Scrypt only mining mode.

Check showtimes to see when Amanpour is on CNN where you are. Or watch online.
By Lucky Gold & Richa Naik, CNN
When Rita Levi-Montalcini was born in Italy in 1909, girls were expected to marry and have children, but Levi-Montalcini wanted to be a doctor.
Despite her father's opposition, she graduated from medical school, ready to devote her life to science and research.
However Levi-Montalcini, who was Jewish, was banned from pursuing that dream when Benito Mussolini and the fascists came to power. But that didn't stop her.
She turned her bedroom into a laboratory, risking her life to conduct research in secret. Levi-Montalcini's solitary work led her to see what other scientists had missed – a crucial factor that allows cells to grow and develop.
After the war, she came to America to continue her research, creating a new way of understanding conditions like cancer and Alzheimer's.
In 1986 Levi-Montalcini shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She continued to work even after her hundredth birthday, making her the oldest living Nobel Laureate.
"At one hundred, I have a mind that is superior, thanks to experience, than when I was twenty," she said.
Rita Levi-Montalcini died this week at the age of 103. She never married or had children, but leaves behind a legacy of courage and discovery.
What a woman of courage
My mom would have loved this story. She passed away two years ago, at the age of 85, and was herself a doctor and a pioneer in her field. Fortunately, her father encouraged her a lot, he was so proud of his two daughters who became a doctor and a lawyer, respectively, and his son, a notary. I admire this other lady who just passed away a lot as well. I am sure my mom and her will enjoy chatting up there in paradise!
Wow! That's human spirit, self-determination, the I Am of God within us. She might have passed, but will never die. Blessings.
I admire this woman of courage and self determination; her legacy will forever live on
i love that woman but she don't have to leave a life without childern
Not only was she a great scientist, she was also a kind person, never arrogant, never full of herself.
she was an onorary member of the Italian Senate, now that she has gone the IQ and the moral standard of the Italian Parliament has dropped dramatically.
Her last battles were for the young scientists, for the future of scientific research in Italy.
She will be dearly missed by many young and notsoyoung people, she was a model of engagement for Science and for Italy.
I am writing from the southern part of the African continent. This is a story I will certainly be sharing with my daughters, as it shows that patriarchy knows no boundaries nor cultural backgrounds. My mother was denied an opportunity to beyond primary school as it was felt then that educating a woman was not beneficial for the family as she is going to be married off. My mother promoted education for not only her own kids but others in the family and community. Let's ensure that the work initiated by Dr Levi-Montalcin, Malala and others of empowering women through education is vigorously pursued by us all.
i've read her book 'old age doesn't exist' [along with articles about growth factors in endocrinology] & considered that the mind has no boundaries & no age [as the biological corp] :the spirit can stay forever young, as long as you stay open for new ideas & constantly change your view & opinion; mind can adapt to a ever-changing world as long as you allow your brain to assimilate new knowledge & reconsider previous ideas. we won't be 'old' as long as we incorpporate 'young' fresh thoughts into our mind: [the spirit s] 'wider than the sky' [G.Edelman, another neurobiologist- nobel laureate]
I much prefer recognition of people with great minds then stories of idiots with celebrity status.

text: 'Tis the season for the East Coast to receive guests, in the form of seals. It is a spectacular sight to see these animals come and rest on our local beaches, but the Animal Rescue team would like to keep you safe while you enjoy these animals. Please read over the following information on how to properly view these animals, and how you can help report a sighting or injured seal during this winter season. Typically in our Mid-Atlantic region, we see four types of seals, including harp, gray, hooded, and harbor seals. These animals are semi-aquatic, meaning they can survive for lengths of time both in water and on land. When we spot seals on land, they are usually resting after long swims, or even warming up in the sunlight. They are generally solitary animals, but will haul out (on land) in larger groups as a survival tactic. Knowing when and where these animals are hauling out is important information for the National Aquarium Animal Rescue staff. If you would like to report a sighting in your area, feel free to contact the National Aquarium's Hotline at 410-373-0083. Along the Eastern Shore, the National Aquarium Animal Rescue team has first responders who are specially trained to assess an animal's condition from a safe distance, and know how to approach the public to teach them more about these animals. The federal law states that "disturbing, harassing, or injuring seals is illegal under the Marine Mammal Protection Act." It is very important that the public knows not to treat the seal like a domesticated animal. This includes but is not limited to feeding, touching, or approaching the seal. When pups are weaned from their mothers they are opportunistic feeders, and if the pup is not yet weaned and human interaction occurs, the mother may abandon the pup. The most helpful thing you can do for the animal, regardless of the animal's condition, is to stay at least 150 feet away from the seal and call the National Aquarium Animal Rescue hotline at 410-373-0083. Just as dogs will often growl if uncomfortable with humans in their presence, seals will emit a deep growl and show teeth--this means that you are too close to the animal. You should return to a safe distance and ask that others do the same. Once our staff and first responders are onsite, the animal's health and behaviors are evaluated. The team is looking for any signs of injury such as entanglement, sores or abrasions, open wounds, bleeding, cataracts, dehydration, and emaciation. If injured, the animal will already have a high level of stress due to the fact that it has stranded itself on the beach. Approaching the animal could increase stress even further, making the animal feel the need to flee the area, even when injured. This decreases the chances that the National Aquarium Animal Rescue team will be able to help the animal. So keeping your distance is very important for the health and welfare of these animals. The best way to tell whether an animal is healthy and merely resting, or sick and injured lies within its posture. When a seal is lying in a "banana-shaped" position, the animal is simply resting and will more than likely return to the water when it's ready. If a seal is lying in a "bear rug" position with its stomach and head lying on the ground, the animal is in need of further monitoring and, potentially rehabilitation. As a parting thought, the National Aquarium Animal Rescue team would like to remind everyone that it is never a good idea to try to approach, feed, or touch any wild animal. Wild animals, including seals, carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans. If you find a wild animal, the best thing to do is contact the appropriate authorities for information. We recommend starting with your local Animal Control officers. These are trained experts with knowledge of local species and connections to other wildlife experts for unusual cases.

One day before Electronic Arts' reorganization, Patrick Bach, the DICE executive producer of Battlefield 3 said an annual publishing schedule "will eventually kill the franchise." A day later, EA's top general had a somewhat different tone.
"Focusing on ... year-round business" does not necessarily mean a new title every year. A connected, persistent experience is a company-wide priority, certainly one that Peter Moore, the new chief operating officer, will bring to the table. But with Call of Duty releasing every year, it certainly sounds like EA wants to meet that head-on.

The following problem categories were available to be solved:
- Trivia
- Recon
- Web
- Reversing
- Exploitation
- Forensics
- Networking
Solutions to the challenges were awarded points based off of how difficult the solution would theoretically be to obtain, ranging from 100 to 600 points per solution.
I wasn't able to solve the final two 400 point Recon challenges (for Yoda, and Dan Guido's favorite foods), so if anyone participated and managed to find those solutions, I would be interested to hear how you went about it!
Recon 100 - Jordan Wiens (psifertex)
For this challenge, we are simply given a Google Search link for 'Jordan Wiens', one of the judges for the CTF, and the only knowledge we have about the key is that it will most likely be in the format 'key{something}'. Not much to go on, but we'll see what we can do.
The obvious sources of information as seen from the Google Search are his Twitter account, and Linkedin Accounts. From here, we can see the alias 'psifertex' commonly used. This may come in handy. On a hunch, we can check to see on which sites the name 'psifertex' is taken using a common tool called namechk.com. Using this tool, we see that psifertex is taken on quite a few websites, but none of these yield great results.
The next step would be to simply perform a Google Search for 'psifertex' and see if we find anything new. Fortunately, we notice the first result is psifertex.com, which only contains the string 'Nothing to see here, move along.' Not buying it, the next step of recon I like to perform on a domain is to try and brute force the subdomains. To do this, I use a tool called subbrute.py. This tool performs multithreaded DNS lookups to a configurable list of DNS resolvers, searching through a list of possible subdomains. It should be noted that I have tweaked and modified my own version of subbrute, and have added subdomains as I've found them, so the standard install may not work in this case.
However, I find the following output from subbrute.py for psifertex.com:
Checking psifertex.com
184.108.40.206 calendar.psifertex.com
22.214.171.124 docs.psifertex.com
220.127.116.11 ftp.psifertex.com
126.96.36.199 key.psifertex.com
184.108.40.206 ssh.psifertex.com
18.104.22.168 start.psifertex.com
184.108.40.206 www.psifertex.com
Obviously, the first subdomain of interest is 'key.psifertex.com', which indeed yields the key: 'secret sonambul1st'
Recon 100 - Jeff Jarmoc (jjarmoc)
For this challenge we were simply given a Google Search for 'jjarmoc'. Again, not too much to work with. Many teams had trouble with this challenge, yet I found this to be one of the easiest (most likely because I had performed the same recon with Jordan Wiens). From Jeff's Twitter page, we can see that he links offenseindepth.com as his homepage. Let's perform the same recon as before, and run subbrute. Here is the output:
Checking offenseindepth.com
22.214.171.124 finger.offenseindepth.com
188.8.131.52 imap.offenseindepth.com
18.104.22.168 mail.offenseindepth.com
126.96.36.199 www.offenseindepth.com
The only subdomain that seems out of the ordinary is finger.offenseindepth.com. Using the subdomain name as a clue, we can attempt to enumerate information about users on the host using the Finger service. Sure enough, by using jjarmoc as the username, we receive the following information:
jordan@crux:/pentest/recon/subbrute$ finger firstname.lastname@example.com
Debian GNU/Linux Copyright (C) 1993-1999 Software in the Public Interest
Username: jjarmoc In real life:
This is my .plan. There are many more like it, but this one is mine.
{key:does anyone still use finger?}
We can use the key 'does anyone still use finger' and we are awarded 100 points. Moving right along.
Recon 100 - Julian Cohen (HockeyInJune)
I actually found Julian's recon challenge to be the most difficult, only by my own oversights. All we are given is a Google Search for 'HockeyInJune'. This, like the other recon challenges, does not provide much information. However, using namechk.com, I can see that HockeyInJune has a reddit profile, which is consistently posting about the CSAW CTF, so we know it's the right guy. I mentioned my own oversights on this one, and it was simply because I checked every Reddit post except the one that had the key. After finally checking the link posted on the comment (cockcab.com), we can see that it clearly lists the key (although I didn't manage to write it down for this post, and now it looks have been removed).
So there you have it! Those were the first 3 recon challenges for the CSAW CTF. As mentioned, two more 400 point challenges were posted later in the weekend (Dan Guido's two favorite foods and Yoda), but I didn't have time to really look to much into them. If anyone managed to find the solutions, I'd be interested to hear how much work it took to found them!
A big thank you goes out to the organizers of the CTF. Everything went smoothly, and appeared to be well organized with interesting challenges. Hopefully next year I will have more time to work on the challenges, and won't be so bogged down with school projects.
I will post more writeups for the challenges as I create them.
Edit: Dan Guido gave a comment on Reddit that the solution to his Recon challenge could be found here. Thanks, Dan!

SupaJam brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 18 Designs von 3 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Supajam is the just launched, youth destination website that surfaces the best content and content creators from across the web as decided by our community.
The problem is we have a web 2 site and not a web 3. We think handwritten, drips and sprays, vintage, heavily illustrated is cool and could be the next big things!!!! But basically keep it fresh and exciting!!!
SupaJam is looking for a new home page that accuratly represents both key areas of the site. These are:
1. Aggregate Links. These are links to content that people feel is cool and want to share with their peers and contempories. Other users get the chance to view the content via the link, vote for it, comment on it and share it with friends.
2. Creative Contests. Supajam runs a series of creative contests. The most recent got new indie bands to upload their best tracks with the chance of winning a place playing infront of 50,000 people at Europe's coolest festival in Spain. Other music and film contests are planned.
We want people to be able to come to the site and listen to the best new music out of Europe.
The current home page is not youthful enough. It does not feel like a destination and only promotes the links side of what we do. People coming to the site are therefore confused.
- Item 1 New logo design that is cool, urban and youthful.
- There must be the tag line of.....Supajam. Surfacing the best.
- A Recently Surfaced area that combines the best links submitted to the site along with the best media (music and film) surfaced through our contests.
- Supajam News. An graphics area or panel where we can promote things happening on the site.
- A flash media player that showcases the best of the film and music content surfaced through the contests.
- Placement for two advertising areas. (300 x 250 or 336 x 280) and or a leaderboard.
- An area that promotes top users on the site that shows thier username and photo as well as some basic info about them. These will rotate keeping fresh.
- When a user is logged in, a profile area or panel gives his photo, username, how many buddies he has online, how many messages and a recommended link or song.
- A panel or area that displays the top five most recently submitted links in to the aggrigate links area of the site.Site Navigation featuring the following:- Home
- Cool Links
- Contests
- Shop
- New to the site
- Login and register- At the bottom of the page we will need clicks to Press, FAQ, Terms and conditions, Privacy Policy and SupaJam CopyrightWe understand that there are a lot of things to display - how you choose to display them so the design is clean and cool is down to you.
Please select your own color pallette - we are not married to what we have.

Comme des Garçons Girl Earrings
Legendary conceptual label Comme des Garçons brought the Japanese avant-garde to the West in 1981, with a groundbreaking collection that introduced deconstruction, asymmetry and a monochromatic color scheme as the new paradigm of conceptual fashion. Known for their radical "anti-fashion" aesthetic, head designer Rei Kawakubo's creations remain a challenging, intellectual force that has never left the cutting edge. The Comme des Garçons Girl line approaches feminine and naïve looks with the intellectual approach of the main collection. Cardigans, pleated skirts, Peter Pan collar blouses, and shorts subvert schoolgirl style tropes with new proportions and cuts.
There are currently no products available for Comme des Garçons Girl Earrings.
Please select another designer or sign up below to receive email updates on new product arrivals, special offers and exclusive events.

The creation of an anti-public-lands hero.
April 30, 2018
This issue's cover story, by Associate Editor Tay Wiles, untangles the many threads behind the Bundys' rebellion, from their faith to more radical Western strains of anti-government ideology. The story also describes how the Department of Justice and Bureau of Land Management bungled their own legal case against the family. Also in this issue, the Fish and Wildlife Service revisits rare species protections, the Interior Department deals with a larger-than-expected budget and a daughter writes an ode to her father and his acequia.
The Indian Child Welfare Act has helped repair the damage of the boarding-school era – but not everyone wants it in place.

Gary David Goldberg, creator of the 1980s NBC sitcom "Family Ties," died Sunday following a battle with brain cancer, according to media reports. He was 68.
Born in Brooklyn, Goldberg began writing his career as a writer working for "The Bob Newhart Show," moving on to "The Tony Randall Show" and "Lou Grant," serving as writer and producer on both series.
After founding his own production company Ubu Productions (named after his dog, and featuring the line "Sit, Ubu, sit" in the closing credits for its shows; see video below), Goldberg created "Family Ties," which propelled Michael J. Fox into stardom as Alex P. Keaton, the Reagan Era, conservative son of liberal parents. The series ran for seven seasons.
Also read: Hollywood's Notable Deaths of 2013
Goldberg would later go on to work with Fox on the sitcom "Spin City," which Goldberg co-created with Bill Lawrence.
"Everyone has a mentor (or two hopefully) that touches his/her life," Lawrence tweeted Sunday night. "Gary Goldberg passed away today. Wish I had thanked him more."
The website for Ubu Productions and Goldberg's website have not yet made mention of his death. Goldberg's agent and a representative for the publisher of his autobiography, "Sit, Ubu, Sit: How I Went from Brooklyn to Hollywood with the Same Woman, the Same Dog, and a Lot Less Hair," have not yet responded to TheWrap's request for comment.
In addition to his television work, Goldberg worked on films such as "Must Love Dogs" and "Bye Bye Love."

Inland Quotes
With cactus-studded desert mountains plunging into tranquil turquoise bays, gliding manta rays and pods of migrating orca whales, this uninhabited island in the Sea of Cortez, which separates mainland Mexico and the fingerlike Baja peninsula, is every bit the paradise island you dream of escaping to. It's also the perfect place to explore by sea kayak; warm water and sunshine are almost guaranteed from October to May. - Clare Jones

Joyce set out to dump scheme in favour of Snapper
Transport Spokesperson
8 November 2012
Joyce set out to dump scheme in favour of Snapper
Documents released under the Official Information Act reveal Steven Joyce wanted to dump the Auckland integrated ticketing project soon after he was elected because he thought Snapper could do it instead, Labour's Transport spokesperson Phil Twyford says.
Communications between the Minister's office and transport officials in the December 2008 to March 2009 period show Mr Joyce asking officials whether there was an out clause in the tender process, whether the project could be stopped, and why $100 million was being spent when Snapper could do it privately.
"From the moment he was elected Mr Joyce was itching to halt the integrated ticketing scheme, and allow Snapper to do it. Correspondence from Snapper two years later indicates he instructed officials to allow Snapper back into the project, after they had lost the competitive tender and against advice from officials.
"There is evidence in the hundreds of pages released under the OIA that Steven Joyce was successfully lobbied by Snapper and its parent company, Infratil, to push officials to let them back into the project.
"Intervention by the Minister in a commercial contract for a project worth $100 million of public money is a breach of the Cabinet Manual and Public Finance Act, so this clearly warrants an independent investigation.
"Current Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee has made it obvious in the House he sees nothing wrong with what Mr Joyce did, and doesn't intend to do anything about it – so I will.
"I am forwarding the 1481 pages released by NZTA, Ministry of Transport and the Minister's office to the Auditor General. I am asking her to review the documents in relation to the role of then-Minister Steven Joyce in the decision-making process that led to Snapper Services being allowed to roll out the Snapper card in advance of the full integrated ticketing system being set up," Phil Twyford said.
The Auditor General is already examining Snapper's role in the scheme in a general investigation by her office of the integrated ticketing project.
