The City of Binghamton is expecting a big business boost starting next month when students from Binghamton University return for the fall semester. YNN's Chris Whalen tells us how the city is planning on welcoming students back.
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- This time next month, downtown Binghamton will be perhaps busier than ever. Nearly 400 students will move in to Twin River Commons and business owners are anxiously awaiting their arrival.
"With that much traffic in the neighborhood, it's definitely a plus for small businesses and boutiques to be opening up because of the amount of students that are going to be down here," said Ron Sall, owner of Sall-Stearns.
However, downtown living is a brand new experience for many students, meaning they may not know what exactly the inner city has to offer.
"There's a stigma that outside of the bars on State Street and like two or three places, there's not that many places to go," said Adam Sabol.
Sabol is a recent BU graduate and is founding member of CommuniKey, a local start up that helps connect students with the City. As students arrive come August, CommuniKey wants to make sure they know exactly what there is to do downtown.
"There are tons and tons of places that kids don't know about and they have good food and great atmospheres, it's just educating them on where they are and what they're about," Sabol said.
In order to properly school students in downtown life, CommuniKey and the City of Binghamton announced Wednesday that they'll co-host a 'kickoff party' at the beginning of September with more than 40 vendors showcasing their products.
City officials hope that starting a relationship between Binghamton and BU now will result in more students staying here for more than just four years.
"Once they get two, three years of downtown living experience, I'm hoping that in the next few years we're going to be developing apartments for young professionals," said Merry Harris, director of economic development for the City of Binghamton.
Young professionals that will cater to the next generation of students downtown in what the City hopes will be an on-going cycle for years to come.

I think this is a good vote to put up but, I do not understand why they should be even entitled to a scholarship grant. I believe they are getting paid enough for the position they are holding to be able to afford to send their children to college. I believe we as taxpayers deserve the grants that are available for those scholarships. Another question, who does the paperwork for those grants for them to receive the scholarships. Is it done by their secretaries that are in their charge? I feel the people who make the minimun wage and are trying to get their children a better education so they are not impovished like themselves deserve the scholarships. The politicans should be helping these people as they are the ones who put them in office.
Thank you for putting this before the vote and I hope it is voted on and for except the one exception which should also be included. Thank you for the concern as to what is happening.

Most helpful review
More than just one hole
By hush1977 (25 reviews) from Market Harborough , 27 Dec 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
Rumour has it, visionary director, Joe Dante (Gremlins, Innerspace, Small Soldiers), only took on The Hole after uncovering a bottomless pit in the basement of his new home. Exploring the mysterious cavity, he soon discovered that his deepest fear and darkest nightmare was coming to life. Without hesitation, he slammed the trapdoor shut, bolting it securely, and Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003) was confined to the dark abyss forever. After licking his wounds (for way too long) Dante is back with another one of those family-friendly chillers he mastered during the eighties.
Dane, played with likeable ease by Chris Massoglia (The Vampires Assistant) discovers the bottomless hole with his brother Lucas (Nathan Gamble) when left alone in their new residence by their workaholic mother. Along with Julie (Haley Bennett), the drop-dead gorgeous next door neighbour, the boys must uncover the homes haunted history if they are to stop evil being unleashed (and no, were not still talking about a carrot-munching bunny and that annoying yellow canary)
For the first half of the film, Dante tries the trusted approach and keeps the monsters off-screen, suggesting the unthinkable lurks beneath, allowing his characters to breed empathy by just being themselves. Its fun too, whether were witnessing Dane lusting over the neighbouring water nymph or Lucas annoying him like all little brothers should. Obviously, theres room for a little creepy foreshadowing, and Dante delivers with a subtle yet spooky scene when the gang are reviewing the footage they shot moments earlier.
Its in the horror where The Hole excels; confronting the kids with evidence of their fears such as a broken-boned child made over-familiar by the Ringu trilogy or a toy clown stalking the attic and going for a swim as if hes Chuckys long lost midget father somehow manages to work, even if weve seen it all a thousand times over. The latter is especially scary, even when Dante does the unthinkable and allows the creature to talk. Its been argued that The Hole is the perfect introduction to scare-starved tweenies, and it probably is, but even for massive horror junkies there's enough going on to warrant plenty of interest, so its a shame that when the real villain of the piece finally reveals itself, disappointment is dragged further than the rusty belt its carrying.
The performances of the actors equally disappoint as the film develops; Massoglia and Bennett are rarely threatened, with the latter disappearing entirely during the finale, and her inability to convey fear at the pivotal moment frustrating to say the least. I dont care who you are, hanging precariously over the edge of the highest point of a disused rollercoaster ride is enough to muster a slight grimace, surely? And yet Dante saves the best, or worst, until last, with a final battle lacking any kind of tension whatsoever. It may have looked pretty in 3D, but without the technology, the scene almost ruins all the good that came before it.
Of which there is refreshingly plenty, even if its difficult to put a finger on what keeps us entertained for so long. Snappy dialogue helps (Most people move out of Bensonville, not in it), as do genuinely eerie moments involving a swimming pool, a bathroom cubicle and the Gremlins-inspired assault in the attic - welcome respite from a slightly plodding midway point. Meanwhile, the gorgeous visuals, especially when the otherworld is finally explored, with its bent-out-of-shape buildings and gothic surroundings, are as pleasing on the eye as the by now to-be-expected cameo by Dick Miller (which is actually also a little disappointing, truth be told).
You can probably see where this review is headed. Fear not though, because although Dante lazily relies on heavy nods to past horrors in order to send chills down our backs, he also manages a few neat tricks of his own, and more importantly, creates such likeable characters that we would probably watch them snarf every film directed by Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, back to back, and still enjoy the ride. It might even give Bennett reason to grimace.
Plenty of holes to pick at, but Dante is thankfully back on form with a film that will satisfy children mostly, yet with enough panache to maybe send a chill or two down the backs of even the hardened horror fanatics. Either way, youll certainly be entertained.- Was this review helpful to you?

Superbly original horror
By Sammy1973 (306 reviews) from King's Lynn , 05 Dec 2012I love this film and felt it was more like a 15 than a 12. I wouldn't let my 12 year old watch it as some of the things that come out of the hole would give her nightmares for months!! As an avid horror fan I thought this was excellent. I have watched it half a dozen times and would happily watch it again.- Was this review helpful to you?

Disapointingly hollow
By Telemaque (12 reviews) from Surrey , 01 Nov 2012Just Ok yes. The kids(especially the big brother) are not very charismatic, the acting is plagued with teen clichés and the overwhelmed single mum, and the plot is not really developed, quite patchy (I know it's called 'The hole', but still). The finale, not bad, slightly makes up for it, but still, I preferred 'Super 8', in the same genre...- Was this review helpful to you?

Too scary for children under 9!
By MegLu (4 reviews) , 31 Oct 2012Now I know why it's a 12 - frightened the b'jesus out of our 9 year old! However, it was still okay for family watching with periods of bright sunshine providing relief in between dark 'hole' moments and deserted factory shots.- Was this review helpful to you?

Hero pug saves family from fire
Thanks to the dog, no one was injured in the blaze.
Late Sunday night, a family in Citrus Heights, Calif., awoke to the barking of their 3-year-old pug. The little dog was alerting them to a fire in the attic of their home — even before the smoke detectors picked up on it.
Firefighters were able to quickly suppress the fire, keeping it from doing extensive damage to the home, thanks to the dog's quick thinking.
No one was injured in the blaze.

If you are considering surgery to fix your scaphoid bone fracture, or have an operation planned, it is important to know all you can about it. This includes:
why you need this operation
what it will be like
how it will affect you
what risks are involved
any alternatives.
The information here is a guide to common medical practice. Each hospital and doctor will have slightly different ways of doing things, so you should follow their guidance where it is different from the information given here. Because all patients, conditions and treatments vary it cannot cover everything. Use this information when making your choices of treatment for a scaphoid bone fracture with your doctors. You should mention any worries you have. Remember that you can ask for more information at any time.
Your scaphoid bone is broken. A break is also called a fracture. There is no difference in severity between a fractured bone and a broken bone. The break may be causing pain in your wrist.
The scaphoid is one of the small bones in your wrist, near the base of your thumb.
Fresh fracture - You broke your scaphoid bone recently. The broken pieces are not in their correct position: this is called a displaced fracture. Your scaphoid is very unlikely to heal (unite) without an operation. If your scaphoid fracture does not heal, you will have further problems.
Old fracture - non-union - It may be many months since you broke your scaphoid bone. Perhaps you did not know that you had broken your scaphoid, so you were not treated and your break did not heal. Alternatively, you may have had your wrist in a plaster cast and despite this your break has still not healed. A break that has not healed is called a non-union.
Our aim is to get your scaphoid fracture to heal with an operation.
If your scaphoid fracture heals, most of the pain that you have should go. More importantly, you are much less likely to develop arthritis in the wrist if the scaphoid is in one piece.
If your break is out of place (displaced) or it has failed to heal (unite) after treatment in a cast, there is no satisfactory alternative treatment.
Some people try plaster for 3 months but in reality if the fracture is not healed after 8 weeks in a plaster cast it is unlikely to ever heal.
Fresh fracture - If the fragments of the broken scaphoid remain out of place and you do not have an operation, your fracture probably will not heal. You will then go onto have a non-union or un-united scaphoid.
Old fracture - non-union - If your scaphoid remains broken, you will probably develop arthritis in your wrist in a few years time. The joint will then become inflamed and painful.
If you have no other wrist problems you should have your fracture fixed.
If you have had an un-united scaphoid for a long time and have developed arthritis in the wrist, you may not benefit from this operation. This depends on the severity of the arthritis.

Bethesda apartments for rent offer residents the opportunity to live and play in one Maryland's thriving urban communities. Bethesda began as a hunting ground for local First Nations. A small tavern was erected during the 18th century and became a retreat for travelers to rest up for their long journey ahead. Bethesda played a role as part of the route that brought settlers from the east coast to the west. The Daughters of the American Revolution put one of their twelve "Madonna of the Trail" statues along the road in commemoration of those who have passed through and remained in Bethesda.
Bethesda apartments for rent offer residents the opportunity to access community events provided by the non-profit organization, the Bethesda Urban Partnership, Inc. (BUP). BUP offers large-scale events for residents throughout the year, maintains transportation solutions and runs the Bethesda Arts & Entertainment District located in downtown Bethesda. The urban downtown community offers residents hundreds of places to dine and shop. Live entertainment venues and art galleries to keep residents and visitors busy all year long. Every month the city hosts a Bethesda Art Walk, where local galleries open their doors for locals to browse local artists' work all within a few blocks of each other. Other notable art and entertainment venues include the Bethesda Film Festival and the Bethesda Fine Arts Festival.
Residents of Bethesda apartments and visitors have access to public transportation systems operated by the nonprofit organization including Metro buses and rail lines. The Bethesda Circulator offers bus services that run on fixed routes Monday through Friday. The Bethesda train station is located on Wisconsin Avenue. The Bethesda trains run Monday through Friday and run for two hours later on the weekends.
Bethesda apartments for rent come in a variety of styles and prices to fit every budget. Those community members in need of financial and housing assistance can seek help from the Montgomery County Department of Housing and Community. The Department of Housing and Community services helps low- to moderate-income families and individuals in need with rental assistance, foreclosure prevention, rehabilitation, homeless services and self-sufficiency programs.
The average cost of living for residents of apartments in Bethesda is estimated to cost 5.6 percent more than the average state living index and 32.1 percent higher than the nation's average cost of living, as reported by AreaVibes. Residents pay an average of $3.93 for a gallon of gas, $4.23 for a cup of coffee and $8.00 for pizza.
Apartments for rent in Bethesda are home to approximately 61,000 residents. Montgomery County is home to a large medical industry, followed by health and accommodation industries. The top employers located in the greater Montgomery County include the National Institutes of Health, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Adventist Healthcare.
Students living in Bethesda have access to several two and four year colleges and universities. The University of Maryland Park, Montgomery College and Prince George's Community College offer students the ability to live close to home and further their education.

The Problem
Sometimes when upgrading VMware, I noticed that I can no longer share directories between my local file system and the VMs file system.
In an effort to get shared folders working, I would then go to the following location in VMware:
Virtual Machine -> Sharing -> Sharing Settings …
I would accurately see the folders I want to share and I would see that Shared Folders is "ON". In an attempt to re-share the folders I toggled Shared Folders to "OFF". I then toggled it back to "ON" and noticed the following error:
Unable to update run-time folder sharing status: Unknown error
The Solution
The problem is related to VMware tools and you will need to reinstall it. Here are the steps you should follow:
1. Open up VMware
2. Go to:
Virtual Machine -> Update VMware Tools
3. Click "Install" button
4. It will automatically download the VMware Tools package. When the package is completed downloading double click the *.tar.gz file to untar all it's contents.
5. Go to the recently expanded folder (you might need to put a different path to where it actually downloaded the distribution):
cd ./vmware-tools-distrib/bin/
6. Change to root:
sudo -s
7. Remove current VMware Tools:
8. Reinstall:
cd ..
Use all the default values by simply hitting the enter key.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | <?php require_once 'Email2Image.php'; $email2Image = new Email2Image(); $email2Image->setFontPath('./fonts/'); $email2Image->setFontFile('tahoma.ttf'); $email2Image->setFontSize(12); $email2Image->setWidth(400); $email2Image->setHeight(300); $email2Image->setBackgroundColor('293134'); $email2Image->setForegroundColor('668aaf'); $email2Image->setHorizontalAlignment(Email2Image::MIDDLE); $email2Image->setVerticalAlignment(Email2Image::MIDDLE); $email2Image->setEmail('email@example.com'); $email2Image->outputImage(); |
The above code will output the following image:
Advanced examples using encryption and decryption are available at the above listed GitHub page.
This function accepts a string that contains a hexadecimal color (i.e. "5DBA00″) and returns a string containing a different color that can be used as it's compliment. A common usage is if you have a background color and you want to find a compliment color that can be used for the font in the foreground.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | <?php /** * Returns a hex color string which compliments the passed in 6 character * hex string * * @param string $hexColor The 6 character hex string * * @return string */ function getComplimentColor($hexColor) { $rHex = sprintf("%02X", round(255 - (hexdec(substr($hexColor, 0, 2))))); $gHex = sprintf("%02X", round(255 - (hexdec(substr($hexColor, 2, 2))))); $bHex = sprintf("%02X", round(255 - (hexdec(substr($hexColor, 4, 2))))); return $rHex . $gHex . $bHex; } |
Here is an example of how to use the function:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 | <?php $originalColor = '5DBA00'; $complimentColor = getComplimentColor($originalColor); ?> Main Color: #<?php echo $originalColor; ?> <div style=" margin: 8px; width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: #<?php echo $originalColor; ?>;">
 Compliment Color: #<?php echo $complimentColor; ?> <div style=" margin: 8px; width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: #<?php echo $complimentColor; ?>;">
 |
The above example will output the following:
This article explains how to configure a production web server with CentOS Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. It will also explain how to harden the system to protect from typical intrusions. All steps are required unless otherwise stated as "Optional". Please read the steps thoroughly prior to doing them, since doing them incorrectly can leave the system in an unstable or unusable state.
You should be proficient in getting around a Linux operating system. You should be familiar with the vi text editor for Linux. You should know common vi commands to open, insert, and save documents since they are not listed in this article. You should have a basic understanding of what a LAMP system is.
Problems or Feedback?
If you run into problems while running the following steps, please post comments below. I will try my best to help you get the issue(s) squared away, plus we can open it to the community for brainstorming. This article is by no means perfect, so it's always good to hear feedback too. If you feel like something should be added to this article, please let me know.
Install Operating System
First you will need to get a server pre-installed with the latest stable release of CentOS. Most hosting companies do this step for you. However, installing the CentOS operating system is outside the scope of this article. Once that is done, you must SSH into the machine as the root user:
# ssh root@<new_server_ip_address>
Note: Any line that starts with a "#" symbol is used to denote entering text into a terminal window. Do not actually type the "#" symbol.
Tip: I recommend storing your root password in a safe place, such as PasswordSafe.
Update Yum and Install Initial Packages
We will be using Yellowdog Updater Modified (yum) as our package management utility. After you SSH into the web server as root, you will need to run the following commands to update the system:
# yum -y update
# yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
# yum -y install zlib-devel
# yum -y install httpd openssl-devel openssl mod_ssl vsftpd rpm-build rpm-devel autoconf automake lynx gcc
# yum -y install mysql mod_auth_mysql mysql-devel mysql-server
# yum -y install mod_python python python-devel
# yum -y install php-devel php php-common php-gd php-mcrypt php-mhash php-xml php-xmlrpc php-domxml php-gd php-mbstring php-mysql php-ncurses php-pear
# yum -y install sendmail sendmail-cf
# yum -y install wget
# yum -y install yum-utils
# yum -y install yum-plugin-replace
# yum -y install vim-X11 vim-common vim-enhanced vim-minimal
# yum -y install iptables
# yum -y install nmap
# yum -y install vixie-cron
Setup host access
We need to setup host access (TCP_WRAPPERS). There are two host access files (/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny) that are part of the TCP_WRAPPER package. This makes it possible to allow or deny access to certain services based on the IP. We need to edit the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files:
Run the following command to edit the file in vi text editor:
# vi /etc/hosts.allow
Paste the following into the file and then save the file:
Tip: I recommend limiting access to your production servers based on specific IP addresses. This helps to prevent intruders from getting access to your server. For example, let's say you have an office IP address of 220.127.116.11, you would make the sshd
line look like this:
You can enter multiple IP addresses also (separated by spaces).
Run the following command:
# vi /etc/hosts.deny
Paste the following into the file to deny all other services and then save the file:
Create User Account
Create a user account that you will use to log in to this server. Try to select a name that is distinct from your website. For example, if your website is mywebsite.com, do not make your username called mywebsite. In this example, we will use the username jesseforrest. You will want to replace jesseforrest with a more logical username that fits your needs. This account will be used for SSH connections.
# adduser jesseforrest
# passwd jesseforrest
Enter in a password and hit enter.
Retype the password and hit enter.
Tip: Make sure to save the username and password in your PasswordSafe.
Allow the user jesseforrest to "su -
" into the root user:
# usermod -G wheel jesseforrest
Test SSH Connectivity
You should now have SSH access to the new server and be able to "su -
" into the root user. To test, open a new terminal window and run the following commands:
# ssh jesseforrest@<new_server_ip_address>
# su -
Enter in the root password.
Disable root SSH Access and Change Default SSH Port Number
The root account should never be able to login via SSH. The user should have to first login as a specific user and then "su -
" into root. We should also change the default port used for SSH connectivity to prevent from common attacks. We will switch the SSH port to 11985, but you can pick any open port you like.
Run the following command:
# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Then change the following lines to match the following and then save it:
PermitRootLogin no
Protocol 2
Port 11985
Allow SSH Keys to Connect
You will want to use SSH keys to connect to your server instead of entering in a password.
Open a new terminal window and run the following command:
# ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
Enter in a path to store your *_id_rsa file. The path should be similar to this:
Create a new passphrase.
Tip: Store this passphrase in your PasswordSafe.
On the client machine (the computer you will be connecting from) tighten up file system permissions:
# chmod 700 ~/.ssh
# chmod 600 ~/.ssh/*
Now copy the public key to the machine you want to SSH into and fix permissions:
# scp ~/.ssh/jesseforrest_id_rsa.pub jesseforrest@<ip_address_of_server>:
Connect to the remote server:
# ssh jesseforrest@<ip_address_of_server> -p 11985
You will need to create the ~/.ssh directory if it does not yet exist
# mkdir ~/.ssh
Append your public key to the authorized_keys file.
# cat ~/jesseforrest_id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Remove the public key file from the server
# rm ~/jesseforrest_id_rsa.pub
Set the permissions so it is only readable and writable by you, the owner.
# chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
# chmod 700 ~/.ssh
Restart SSH Daemon:
# /etc/init.d/sshd restart
Setup Keychain
Use Keychain, an SSH Agent, so that you don't need to enter a passphrase every time you connect. Install keychain if it is not installed yet:
# wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
# rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
# rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.*.rpm
# yum install keychain
We need to add keychain to start automatically.
# vi ~/.bash_profile
Add the following line:
eval $(keychain --eval --agents ssh -Q --quiet jesseforrest_id_rsa)
Test SSH Connectivity
You should now have SSH access to the new server through SSH keys:
# ssh jesseforrest@<new_server_ip_address> -p 11985
# su -
Enter in the root password.
Disabling Password Logins (only allow SSH)
# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Modify to the following and then save it:
PasswordAuthentication no
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
Restart SSH Daemon:
# /etc/init.d/sshd restart
Update Path Variable
# vi ~/.bash_profile
Change the line "PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
" to:
Optional – Update Hosts File
If this server is not in the Domain Name System (DNS), you must explicitly add it to the /etc/hosts file so that you can reference it by host name.
If necessary, edit /etc/hosts by running the following command:
# vi /etc/hosts
Paste the IP address and host name of the server like this:
<ip_address> <host_name>
220.127.116.11 mywebsite.com
Setup Hostnames
Make sure the following is set in /etc/sysconfig/network
with hostnames changed to the actual host name.
Start Cron Daemon
# /sbin/service crond start
Disabling SELinux
# vim /etc/selinux/config
Verify it is set to the following:
Configure the Required System Services to Start at Boot
# chkconfig httpd on
# chkconfig mysqld on
# chkconfig vsftpd on
# chkconfig sshd on
# chkconfig crond on
# chkconfig iptables on
Configure Apache
# vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Fill out the following information (replace <hostname> with something like mywebsite.com):
ServerAdmin firstname.lastname@example.com
ServerName <hostname>:80
NameVirtualHost *:80
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
ServerTokens Prod
ServerSignature Off
Make this change wherever needed:
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
Add the following line if it does not exist:
TraceEnable Off
Save the file.
# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
Update the SSLCipherSuite
line and change +LOW
to !LOW
Save the file.
Restart HTTP Daemon
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Configure VSFTP
# vim /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
Make the following changes:
ftpd_banner= **** WARNING - Your actions are being logged ****
Next, we need to configure vsftpd.userlist and specify which users can FTP to the server. This compliments the userlist_deny setting in vsftpd.conf. When set to NO, this makes the vsftpd.userlist file a list of users that ARE allowed to log in.
# vim /etc/vsftpd/user_list
We recommend removing all users so that nobody is able to FTP in. However, if you want to allow a user to FTP in, you can add them here.
Configure MySQL
# cd /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-
(hit tab to get current version installed and then hit enter)
# cp my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
(hit enter and then "y" to confirm)
# vim /etc/my.cnf
Paste the following and save. You might want to tweak these values based on your system specifications and database requirements:
set-variable = max_connections=500
query-cache-type = 1
query-cache-size = 150M
table_cache = 512
Note: This configuration will setup a query cache, log queries that take longer than 2 seconds to run, and log queries that are not using indexes. If you want to change any of this behavior you will need to make the appropriate changes to fit your needs.
Restart MySQL Daemon:
# /etc/init.d/mysqld restart
Now the root password for MySQL must be set using the following command. Do NOT use the same root password as the Linux root password.
# mysqladmin -u root password "<password>"
Tip: Make sure to save the username and password in your PasswordSafe.
Optional – Install and Configure Memcached
Install the memcache daemon:
# yum install memcached
Start the daemon:
# /etc/init.d/memcached start
Even though memcached is running on the server, it's not accessible from PHP without the PECL extension. So run this:
# pecl install memcache
(Use all defaults)
# vim /etc/php.ini
Paste the following at the bottom of the file:
# vim /etc/sysconfig/memcached
Make the following changes:
Restart Apache
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Make the service startup on reboot
# chkconfig memcached on
Start Memcache
# /etc/init.d/memcached start
Optional – Install a GoDaddy Signed SSL Certificate
Generate private key:
# openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048
Copy the necessary key to the required location
# cp ca.key /etc/pki/tls/private/<hostname>.key
Generate CSR:
# openssl req -new -key ca.key -out ca.csr
Enter in all required information.
Get the contents of the CSR by running:
# cat ca.csr
Copy all the contents into "Enter your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) below:" in GoDaddy. Download bundle from GoDaddy and copy those files to the correct locations:
# cp <hostname>.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/<hostname>.crt
# cp gd_bundle.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/<hostname>-chain.crt
Update the Apache SSL configuration file:
# vim +/SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
Change the paths to match where the Key file is stored:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/<hostname>.crt
Change the path for the Certificate Key File:
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/<hostname>.key
Change the path to the intermediate bundle file:
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/<hostname>-chain.crt
Save and close
Restart HTTP Daemon
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Optional – Install a Self-Signed SSL Certificate
If you want to install a self-signed SSL certificate, you can follow these steps.
Generate private key:
# openssl genrsa -out ca.key 1024
Generate CSR:
# openssl req -new -key ca.key -out ca.csr
Enter in all required information
Generate self-signed key:
# openssl x509 -req -days 1825 -in ca.csr -signkey ca.key -out ca.crt
Copy the files to the correct locations (do not move them if you use SELinux):
# cp ca.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs
# cp ca.key /etc/pki/tls/private/ca.key
# cp ca.csr /etc/pki/tls/private/ca.csr
Update the Apache SSL configuration file:
# vi +/SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
Change the paths to match where the Key file is stored:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca.crt
Change the path for the Certificate Key File:
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/ca.key
Save and close
Restart HTTP Daemon
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Optional – Example Configuring Iptables
This will configure Iptables to open the following input ports: 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), 11985 (SSH). It will also open the following output ports: 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS).
# /sbin/iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
# /sbin/iptables -F
# /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
# /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
Drop packets where new incoming tcp connections are not SYN
# /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp ! --syn -m state --state NEW -j DROP
Drop packets with incoming fragments
# /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -f -j DROP
Drop incoming malformed XMAS packets
# /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --tcp-flags ALL ALL -j DROP
Drop incoming malformed NULL packets
# /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --tcp-flags ALL NONE -j DROP
# /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 11985 -j ACCEPT
# /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m multiport --dports 80,443 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
# /sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -m multiport --sports 80,443 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
# /sbin/iptables -P INPUT DROP
# /sbin/iptables -P FORWARD DROP
# /sbin/iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
Verify and Save Iptables
Some ports might appear in the nmap output even if you specified them restricted in iptables. This is probably because they are being run from localhost. To verify your iptables configuration you can run:
# /sbin/iptables -L
Run the following if correctly configured:
# /sbin/service iptables save
Verify only the ports you want opened are listed by running the following
# nmap -sT -O localhost
Update PHP Configuration
# vim /etc/php.ini
Make these changes:
display_errors = Off
date.timezone = America/New_York
html_errors = Off
expose_php = Off
error_log = /var/log/php_errors.log
Tip: Set date.timezone to whatever is applicable to your server. A list of timezones are available on PHP's List of Supported Timezones web page.
Save and quit.
Optional – Install GeoIP
# yum -y install GeoIP GeoIP-devel
# pecl install geoip
# vim /etc/php.ini
Add this to end of php.ini:
Save and quit.
Protect Files and Folders
Set the correct restrictions:
# chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/
Write protect Apache, PHP, and MySQL configuration files:
# chattr +i /etc/php.ini
# chattr +i /etc/php.d/*
# chattr +i /etc/my.cnf
# chattr +i /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Restart HTTP Daemon
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Verifying Configuration Works
# vim /var/www/html/info.php
<?php phpinfo();
Save and quit.
Use browser to hit:
Optional – Install locate and updatedb on CentOS
# yum install mlocate
# /etc/cron.daily/mlocate.cron
This function converts strings into a format that can be used in URLs. For example, the string "Mike's Karate School" would be returned as "mikes-karate-school".

In 2011, Joimo took a big leap and started offering a variety of different sports and recreational activities. I'm happy to say that we now offer bowling, dodgeball, indoor soccer, outdoor soccer, and kickball!
Photo from San Diego Co-ed Dodgeball!
In October of 2004, I decided to take on a new project at college. I was determined to write software that could be used in the Computer Science Major's Lab to monitor who came in and out. I originally began the project in an attempt to learn how to write software that could interpret the data that was received from a card-scanner via a COM port. Then my interest grew and I decided to write a fully functional Log Manager. I knew a variety of other labs wanted a way to log who was coming in and out of their lab, so I figured it was a good project to take on.
Download Log Manager Version 1.3:
Installer | VB 6 Source Code
Log Files:
A new log file is created each day. Log Manager writes the log information to text files in the specified Log Destination. It's capable of saving the log files to a certain folder on a server if necessary. By default Log Destination is set to "C:\INSTALL_PATH\LogDestination\". Here is an example of the automatic file creation:
Below is an example of the contents of a log file. It is a comma delimited file, so it can easily be opened in Excel or similar program.
Before Joimo.com came to be, here were a couple of my other concepts..
The function below takes in a string of text and converts all URL's that start with "http://" to an HTML link.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 | /** * Returns the string with URL's replaced with actual HTML link tags * @param string $string The string to parse for URL's * @param boolean $noFollow Whether or not to add the rel="nofollow" * attribute to the tag * @param boolean $newWindow Whether or not to make the link open in a new * window * @return string */ function getStringWithUrlLinks($string, $noFollow = true, $newWindow = true) { $pattern = '/(http:\/\/[^\s]+)/'; return preg_replace_callback($pattern, create_function('$matches', 'return \'\'.$matches[0].\'\';' ), $string); } |
Here is an example usage:
21 22 23 | $string = 'This is my website: http://jesseforrest.name/'; $stringHtml = nl2br(getStringWithUrlLinks(htmlentities($string))); echo $stringHtml; |
The example above would output:
This is my website: http://jesseforrest.name/

A study posted in the journal of Science this week found a link between people who experienced "last minute wedding jitters" and divorce. The researchers followed 135 newlywed couples and designed a test to analyze a potential correlation between their "subconcious doubts" and the "happiness" or vitality of their marriage. The study's findings could help couples predict whether they will be together four years following their wedding day.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"We were able to fit the Directions and Accommodations on this card. The back side is also available. We ordered in the Signature White (Pearly White) and love the look."
"We modified this so the 'Directions' were 'Dress' and made it the same size as the other headings. We also changed the border to match the RSVP and main invite as well as getting the yellow back."
"This really completed our wedding invitations! We used the wedding invitation, the RSVP card and this card as part of our invites. It would be perfect for providing information of how to get from the church to the reception - however we actually provided a map and used this card to include a cute poem asking guests not to bring gifts and just add to our honeymoon fund!"
"My fiance and I didn't order these at the time we did our invitations, but after being very pleased with those, we quickly ordered the matching reception cards! We were able to customize the top line in script to say "Cocktails, Dancing & Hors d'oeuvres" because we aren't having a sit-down dinner. Then the next line read, "immediately following the ceremony." We then gave the address and explained how to walk there from the ceremony. The cards turned out beautifully, and the ability to customize everything with the WPD designer was great. We haven't sent them out yet, but both mothers loved them, and the whole invitation suite, which is amazing!"
"We used the enclosure card as a Details card, instead of a Directions card. We included how to RSVP, our website information, and a small description about the reception. Quality of the paper and printing were excellent for our barn themed reception. Highly recommend!"

If you have the option, use a toaster oven instead of a conventional oven, and you'll consume far less energy.
Tests have shown that a well-insulated toaster oven, with plenty of room for air to circulate around it, consumes a whopping 50 percent less energy. As an added bonus, using a toaster oven will keep your kitchen cooler.

"Crazily inventive & totally irresistible*," Like Crazy explores how a couple faces the real challenges of being together and of being apart. *Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

What would happen if you put your uncooked potatos in a blender and then cooked the result? Would you get mashed potatos? Faster? |
I doubt that most blenders could handle raw potatoes, though a food processor probably could. The problem with your idea is that they'll be easier to cook before they're mashed, and easier to mash after they're cooked. I see no advantage and plenty of potential disadvantages. | |||
I'm with Michael: it sounds disturbing. I think you could probably get away with it though if you rinsed them after blending, and then saute'd them after in a little (probably a lot) of butter. I think you need to leech out a little starch or heat it enough for it to start breaking down. Traditional mashed potatoes are lighter, having lost a good bit of their starch in the boiling process. Mashed new potatoes, or mashed baked potatoes, or any other variation on the whole-cooked-potatoes-mashed theme tend to be much more starchy, but this is somewhat alleviated by the flavors imparted by cooking. I think, if you just shred them and then cook them, you're going to end up with the worst of both worlds: heavy, not especially tasty, potato mash. | |||||||||

Posted: Feb 15, 2013 10:59 PM by Dean Reynolds - CBS News
(CBS News) CHICAGO - Last December, minutes after he allegedly shot at a neighbor, Julian Gayles was caught by Chicago police. Gayles, 22, already had a record of gun crimes and parole violations, but had spent little time behind bars. Since 2009, he has been sentenced to seven years in jail, but has served just two.
Gayles was on parole when CBS News witnessed his arrest by police commander Leo Schmitz and is now in custody again, awaiting trial.
Chicago police superintendent Gary McCarthy wants such offenders to face a mandatory minimum sentence.
"This has to stop," McCarthy said. "Gun offenders have to do significant jail time."
Chicago already has some of the toughest gun laws in the country. This week, Mayor Rahm Emanuel called for making them even tougher, with minimum mandatory sentences for gun violations.
But Cook Country Sheriff Tom Dart says he doesn't have the cells to hold more inmates.
"I mean, we are at capacity right now," Dart said. "The state prison system is beyond capacity. You talk to them right now, they haven't had a population like this in decades. And there's no place to put 'em."
Dart runs the largest county jail in the country. Nearly 10,000 inmates -- including 300 prisoners -- living in a former cafeteria and some sleeping on the prison hospital's floor.
"This is not something that you would design, " said Dart. "Frankly at this time this should be a building that we should have empty right now at this time of the year. There should be no one in it. But because of our population explosion, this is full."
Experts say the prison population would swell by thousands if mandatory minimum sentences came to pass for gun violations.
"We can't have this irrational type of notion that there's magic jail cells all over the place that are all sitting there empty, " said Dart. "It's as if all of a sudden we just raise penalties and these people get shipped off to the moon or something. It's like, 'No, we know where we need to put 'em,' and we need money to fund that."
But Illinois doesn't have the money and has actually been closing prisons to save money so it can reduce the $9 billion it owes in unpaid bills.

The Placer County Board of Supervisors will honor National Women's History Month with a resolution that will be presented at the Board's regularly scheduled meeting on March 22, 2011. The resolution will also celebrate the 100th anniversary of the passage of the woman's suffrage amendment to the California Constitution.
On Oct. 10, 1911, California's men voted to extend the right to vote to all women in the state, becoming the sixth state in the nation to do so. A greater percentage of men living in rural areas such as Placer County voted to give women voting rights than did their counterparts in urban area. In 1912, the first year after the approval of voting rights for women, 2,321 females in Placer County registered to vote bringing the total number of registered voters to 6,572. The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which nationally gave women the right to vote, was ratified nine years after California voted for political equity. The County currently has 198,984 registered voters, of which 105,350 are female.
"For someone my age, it's hard to envision an era when women were excluded from this precious right and how hard their fight must have been. I'm pleased to live in a time that is much more inclusive," said Robert Weygandt, Chairman of the Placer County Board of Supervisors. "This resolution is an opportunity to celebrate this moment in history, cherish the sacred value of the precious republic given to us by our predecessors and remember our obligation to continue to perfect it."
Placer County's Bernhard Museum in Auburn is hosting a tea on Sat., March 26, 2011 to promote the resolution and the historic month. That event will be from 2:00 p.m. until 4 p.m. At the Supervisors' meeting on March 22, the resolution will be presented to Diana Madoshi, Placer County resident and co-chair of the California Women's Suffrage Centennial, which is a non-partisan group of individuals and statewide organizations that promote California's women. The Committee is comprised of individuals representing the:

- Stir in macaroni; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover; simmer until macaroni is tender and sauce is thickened. Yield: 4 servings.
Reviews for Dinner in a Bag(11)
Sort By :
This is a great recipe. We doubled the recipe and instead of using stewed tomatoes, we used 3 quarts of tomatoes we canned from our garden and a full box of macaroni. Put some fresh, chopped garden onions on top. This is a keeper
A family favorite and so easy to make!
My kids didn't care for this.
We love this! Have made it now for years and think of it as my own hamburger helper mix. I only do half of the hamburger to stretch my dollar and my own canned tomatoes. I'm like most cooks here I only add part of the salt and add some garlic powder to it.
Wow this was AWESOME!! Will make this again for sure!! I used home canned tomatoes rather then store bought which cuts down on the sodium a lot! I also added a little oregano and garlic salt!! INCREDIBLE!! :)

Everything You Need to Know…
To Attend a Kirtan Concert, Book a Live Kirtan Band for your Event, or Host a Kirtan Party for Family and Friends
What is a Kirtan Party?
An opportunity to gather your friends and family and provide a live, interactive and totally inspiring music experience for them.
Is this appropriate for kirtan beginners?
Oh yes, the only pre-requisite is that you can breath. The band carries the music part so no one has to feel any pressure about doing it "right."
Is kirtan difficult?
It's only difficult if you try not to sing . Repetitions of mantras are a'plenty, so you never have to worry that you're not going to get it. Everyone catches on and everyone sings.
Can you dance to live kirtan music?
Oh yes, here's a kirtan dance recording from someone's iPhone that you can catch the vibe. And a video that will make you dance!
Can a kirtan be used as a way to mark a sacred event?
Yes, kirtan (interactive or performed without audience participation) fits beautifully such as a wedding, house warming or other life transition that deserves some extra special attention.
Can you bring a kirtan band to my festival?
Yes, send any requests to beth at bethmartens.com.
How much do I have to invest in a kirtan party?
A rough guideline is 15 people at $15 per person, for solo kirtan leader, Beth Martens to guide kirtan for one hour. Want to get the band, as many as 7 additional and fantastic players with two drummers? Then we'll talk!
How much space do I need to host a kirtan party?
Your living room is fine, a big living room if you want a whole band.
Is kirtan a religious practice?
No, but it is a highly charged spiritual experience that is joyful, infectious and whose effects are transformative.
Can there be children at a kirtan party?
Yes, depending on how deep a focus you are hoping for. A general guideline is your own comfort zone. And if you really want to get down and fully focussed, get a babysitter, or have one in the zone so kids can be entertained elsewhere if need be. Little ones are known for their ecstatic nature and can try and command the attention – that effect may or may not be what you hope for.
Do people drink alcohol at a kirtan party?
Because of the focussed nature of kirtan chanting, keeping alcohol to a casual and social level is recommended, but there are no rules!
Where can I listen to your music?
You can get my CD's on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and nearly any other online music source these days. Please visit my online store to get copies of my three titles (with one more to follow): www.bethmartens.com/onlinestore
Do you have any videos of kirtan?
Please visit Youtube for a really fun video of Lokah Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu (may all beings be peaceful).
Kirtan concert at St. Norbert Arts Centre
What dates/times are you available?
Check my online schedule at this link.
What if I can't find a date on your schedule that works for me?
Call me at 204-775-1100 and we'll talk!
What language are mantras in?
Most times in Sanskrit, some are Hindi and many in English as well! Meanings are explained so people actually know what they are singing.
Is kirtan the same as yoga?
Yes, kirtan is a form of yoga – yoga through the repetition of mantras, meditation and joy.
What is the origin of kirtan?
Kirtan was born in the 15th century of India and has grown up around the last two decades in which yoga has become popular. Read this "Enchanting Mantras" article on kirtan and Beth Martens' music that was published in the Winnipeg Free Press, written by regular kirtan singer/journalist, Carolin Vesely.
How do I know if my friends and family are going to enjoy this if they've never heard it before?
1. Send them to iTunes to sample all the songs that are recorded.
2. Share this video of Two Foot Take Off to give them the vibe!
Is kirtan very serious and heavy?
Not even close, the purpose of doing it is to be happy and joyful.
What is the purpose of doing kirtan?
Joy, focus, community connection, supporting each other around healthy lifestyles.
How do I book you?

Security Summary
While there are real benefits to using cloud computing, including some key security advantages, there are just as many if not more security challenges that prevent customers from committing to a cloud computing strategy. Ensuring that your data is securely protected both at rest and in transit, restricting and monitoring access to that data via user authentication and access logging, and adequately planning for the very real possibilities of compromised or inaccessible data due to data breaches or natural disasters are all key security challenges that a company must address when considering cloud computing providers.
Cloud Computing Security Issues in Depth - To gain a deeper understanding of the security issues involved in cloud computing as well as to learn what to look for in cloud providers when it comes to keeping your organization's data safe and secure, download this Internet.com eBook.

While this sounds more attractive than Myrinet in theory, the practice may (or may not) turn out to be a little bit different: The number of nodes you -want- to have on a single SCI ring is much lower than the number of nodes theoretically possible. AFAIK, the SSP software limits the number of nodes on a single ring to 256 - however, in most cases you'll start seeing significant performance degradation after 10; for our applications, I won't put more than 6 nodes on a ring. Once you hit the limit for the 1D configuration, adding more nodes requires going to 2D - which means not just adding another node with an SCI interface card, but also replacing/upgrading cards in all existing nodes. Once you hit the performance limit of 2D config (which, for our jobs, should be somewhere around 36 nodes - but, in any case, won't be much farther than 100), you'll need to ugrade to a 3D torus. Again, this would mean replacing -all- existing SCI cards (and getting a lot of long SCI cables - which are not cheap at all). In summary, -if- adding more nodes to your SCI cluster can be done without changing the topology, the cost per node is linear (just like with a Myrinet switch, which still has some spare ports). On the other hand, if a change in topology is required, the cost of adding one node is proportional to the number of the existing nodes (just as if you had to replace a Myrinet switch). Serguei
