Ordinance to block big-box stores from Chinatown defeated
LOS ANGELES (CNS) – An effort to temporarily block large retail chains from opening in Chinatown failed today to garner the necessary votes, but a second vote is scheduled tomorrow.
The Los Angeles City Council voted 10-4 in favor of the moratorium on retail stores over 20,000 square feet, but the item needed 12 votes to pass because it was introduced as an emergency ordinance.
The council sought to use its power to temporarily block certain building permits in order to study the potential effects of the big-box stores on the neighborhood's character and businesses for up to two years.
The attempt was spurred by Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s effort to open a 33,000-square-foot Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market in a space on the northwest corner of Grand and Cesar E. Chavez avenues near downtown that has been vacant for nearly 20 years.
The project stirred fears about the grocery store squeezing out small Chinese markets and business and rallied opposition from organized labor to Wal- Mart's notoriously anti-union position.
Wal-Mart received the necessary building permits in March and has been under construction since then. A coalition of labor groups has filed lawsuits and appeals to the city's Planning Department challenging the legality of the city's permitting process and public notification of Wal-Mart's permit process. A city zoning administrator heard the appeal last week and is expected to issue a ruling within 45 days.
Councilman Ed Reyes, who first called for the so-called interim control ordinance on retail chains, said a new school built across the street from the Wal-Mart did not exist when the project was entitled and raised new public safety concerns because of the hundreds of students who crowd the sidewalks in the area.
In an impassioned speech, Reyes said the moratorium was also about preserving Chinatown's character as a Southeast Asian immigrant community.
"Chinatown is precious. Chinatown has a history. It has wonderful landmarks. It is a global destination for tourists. What makes it unique are its small shops … All I'm asking is for a pause," Reyes said.
Dozens of Chinatown small business owners, residents and community activists urged the council to pass the ordinance.
Business leaders, including Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce CEO Gary Toebben, described the proposed temporary ban on large chain stores in Chinatown as an attack on all businesses across the city.
"It's about whether we send a message that if you … jump through every hoop and you do it right … the rug can be pulled out from under you, whether you're a large business or small," Toebben told the council.
Reyes protested that he was "not preventing business. I want to accentuate it."
"All the (ordinance) does is allows me the opportunity to pay attention to all of my bosses, all of my constituents," he said.
City Council members Joe Buscaino, Mitchell Englander, Bernard Parks, and Jan Perry opposed the moratorium and further study. Councilman Tony Cardenas was not present for the vote.
The City Council is scheduled to take another vote on the project tomorrow. Supporters of a moratorium were hopeful they could convince Cardenas and one opposing member to vote their way during a second vote.
Wal-Mart Senior Director of Community Affairs Steven Restivo said the Chinatown location is on schedule to open early next year, and 2,000 people have already applied to work at the store. He said the neighborhood market will "provide residents with a new option for employment and affordable groceries."
"When you strip away all the politics and special interests, this is pretty simple. We're revitalizing a decades-old empty space and providing a service that downtown residents need and want," Restivo said.
"When we open downtown, our expectation is that the reception will be … happy customers who are saving money, dedicated associates who are proud of their jobs and surrounding-area small businesses that benefit from the boost in foot traffic that comes with a Wal-Mart."

Then we can also look at intentional murders... From FBI statistics for 2011: Number of murders by rifles (that would include all 'assault weapons'): 323 Number of murders by knives: 1694 Number of murders by hammers: 496 Number of murders by hands & feet: 728 So is it time for hands & feet control? Perhaps designating assault hammers? Really you liberals have issues in getting priorities laid out right which is why no matter what you seem to do, you never actually improve things in the world.

Drafting and developing athletic goaltenders requires a bit of reverse engineering. Goalies who naturally play an instinctive game and employ acrobatic saves when fundamentals fail them tend to make stops on shots that leave more conventionally-trained goaltenders flummoxed…But as these goaltenders move up the professional ranks, the ones who decline to rein in their tendencies to flop, flail and turn themselves into pretzels often also tend to fatigue more easily and tend to suffer injuries on a frequent basis. The Red Wings have drafted a remarkably athletic goaltender in Petr Mrazek, and his competitive instincts tend to yield highlight-reel saves, but as he's turning pro, Detroit goalie coach Jim Bedard faces an uphill task in attempting to tame something of a wild stallion. The Free Press's George Sipple spoke to Ottawa 67's goalie coach Tom Dempsey about Mrazek, who idolized Dominik Hasek growing up, and while Mrazek's competitive nature serves him very well… Continue readin...

Although Nvidia's cards take an early lead in Metro 2033, the AMD Radeon HD 7970s in CrossFire surge forward at 2560x1600 and 5760x1080, demonstrating the strongest advantage with 4x AA turned on.
Meanwhile, the GeForce GTX 690 and GTX 680s in SLI hang very close together, delivering nearly identical performance and showing that you have little to fear from the dual-GPU card's slightly lower base and Boost clocks.

21robwright , May 3, 2012 1:50 PMI wonder, given the price of the 690, just how limited the quanitities will be. Which brings up another question, one that Nvidia (and AMD as well) would probably be reluctant to answer: are they making and shipping fewer of the top-shelf Halo cards today than they did 5 or six years ago?
23milkshakez7z , May 3, 2012 1:59 PMLooks very nice. Pity I'll never own one.
Ah, the Bugatti Veyron of video cards... I'll take three, thanks!!!
It CAN play Crysis.

16lahawzel , May 3, 2012 2:13 PM680s are already nearly nonexistent, so I expect these 690s to be just as mythical and hard-to-find as the Radeon 6990.

6990 aren't that hard to find. Back in January before the 7000 series came out, you could easily pick one or two up. I am pretty sure in 6 month, the 690 will be easy to grab.
23Marcus52 , May 3, 2012 2:41 PMThat pair of 690s with the matching bridge looks so sweet, I want 2!

GTX 590 launch...
GTX 580 launch price: $500
GTX 590 launch price: $700
Difference: 140%
Now today GTX 690 launch...
GTX 680 launch price: $500
GTX 690 launch price: $1000
Difference: 200%
So, is it just me or is nVidia really gouging on the price here?
Why the hell else would they be charging an additional 43% more than their last dual GPU launch while using less silicon?
Come on AMD, we really need some more competition here.
Again the used out dated drivers for the AMD Graphics card!!!! UPDATE TO 12.4 TOM'S!

10jjrambo , May 3, 2012 3:33 PMYeah..why were the 7 series using 12.4 drivers when the 6 series is using 12.2? In 12.4 they said UP TO 80% increase using MSAA. Which shows in these MSAA enabled charts the difference between them!

The only use case for that much graphics hardware is excessively high multi monitor resolutions like 6k x 2k in 3d. AMD doesn't need to invest in new PCB designs to make a dual cpu GCN chip yet because the demand is so low.

Okay, so tonight I just want to talk about something that's been bothering me lately.
There are A LOT of ResLife and RA blogs out there, and many of them are very positive and helpful, but many of them are not.
My attention has been pulled to those blogs which are not positive. I know that there are definitely negative aspects to the job. I've been there. I've done that. I've dealt with situations that I didn't want to deal with and seen lots of things happen that annoyed and frustrated me to no end. BUT I LOVED MY JOB. I did it because the good outweighed the bad. I did it because I was passionate about helping students and watching them grow from their first day on campus until either they left or I left the school, and aiding them in that growing process.
I think that I do a pretty good job of being honest with people about the pros and cons of the job. I'm honest about tasks that I really enjoyed and tasks that I did not enjoy so much.
But some of these blogs are just ridiculous. Every single post is negative, and it really gives me the impression that these RAs don't even want to speak to their residents. NEWSFLASH: YOU ARE THERE FOR YOUR RESIDENTS. WITHOUT THEM, YOUR JOB WOULD NOT EXIST. If you really hate your job that much, don't do it! Sometimes these posts are funny and relate-able, but when it's every post they make it's just extremely frustrating.
If you're giving that impression to me, what kind of impression are you giving to college students, parents, or administration who might happen upon your blog? You're kind of giving all of us a bad name. You're making it seem like we don't want to help students or do a good job and the majority of us actually do.
If you run one of these blogs, please just think about the message you're sending to the rest of the world. I don't want RAs and ResLife teams to be looked at negatively, because in lots of peoples' minds we're already just thought of as "babysitters." We are trying to change that, and your negative posts aren't making anything better.

Product News: Briggs & Stratton Launches Junior 206 Engine
The Briggs & Stratton Junior 206 engine
Building from the success of the Briggs & Stratton LO206 crate engine, the Junior 206 was developed with the same goals in mind: to lower the costs of racing with an out-of-the-box solution that levels the playing field, simplifies tech, with an engine that 'grows' with you. Every Junior 206 engine is hand-built with a ground cam and factory controlled piston pop-up (limiting compression variance) before being sealed in-house.
Power is controlled through the use of a longer carburetor slide and a specialized locking carburetor cap. A special PVL ignition module with a digitally set 4,100 rpm rev limiter rounds out the package.
"Power is equivalent to the 50cc Comer engine," stated Dave Klaus, Director - Briggs & Stratton Racing. 'Racers now have choices. Why spend thousands to compete in a class where the playing field is tilted and wrenching is the norm? For under $500 you can pull the Junior 206 out of the box and go. Each engine comes complete with a Green Air filter, onboard rewind, fuel pump, and Max-torque clutch. Complete tech is a quick check of the bottom-end seals, 7 tech tools on the top-end, and a simple check of the slide with a no-go/pin gauge and you are done. Even better, for under $100, just change out the ignition module, install a standard Walbro carburetor slide and you have an engine comparable to the 80cc Comer. That gives you two engines for less than the price of one, and ZERO maintenance. Roll it out of your trailer, grab your fold-out chair, and wait for your class to be called!"
The Junior 206 is available now at any one of their authorized Briggs & Stratton Racing dealers. As an added incentive, purchase any Junior 206 anytime through 2010 and in the box you'll receive an additional $50 voucher good towards future online purchases at www.karting.com Complete program details, videos, and rules are also available online.

This is the missing part. Very easy to install. I opted to install on driver's side with headlamp controls. This makes it easy to open without climbing in car. Just remember, it will open the trunk with the car in gear, you are bypassing the lockout that the key fob uses.
This is one upgrade that everyone should do. It looks just like it was there from the factory. It's easy to install.
Great product - easy to follow instructions and OEM install. It only takes a few minutes to install.

Hackers dump secret info for thousands of cops
Hackers said they posted the names, addresses, and other personal information of 7,000 law enforcement officers that were stolen from a training academy website they compromised. Many of the entries also included the officers' social security numbers, email addresses, and the usernames and passwords for their accounts on the …
Do I get this right?
They stored the password unencrypted? Are there OS's still out that store passwords by default unencrypted? Even for a web login there are quite some standard libs that will store passwords only encrypted, right? Today you really need to spend some effort to have logins that store the passwords enuncrypted, I would think.
If the passwords were actually stolen
As you point out, it indicates a level of incompetence one would have thought one would have seen in at least two decades. The "Missouri Sheriff's Association" should be sued out of existence.
Not that simple
Unfortunatly it's not that simple. The OS has nothing to do with how a website stores its usernames and passwords, the code for the website does that, and while there are libraries to help you do hashing etc, there is no 'make me a ultra secure, scalable website' library you can just plug into a webserver and it 'just works'.
You do get things like dotNetNuke and other CMS solutions which come with secure login bundled in but they have a learning curve that most people don't bother with.
Lastly there is the .NET framework's FormsAuth (lastly that I am aware of, I'm a .NET developer so have no insight over PHP or Java's offerings) which kinda gives people the ability to custom roll a secure area and make it not suck but that is more like a really gentle push in the right direction, it's no way pretty to use if you want to get really custom on it.
So in short, unfortunatly there isn't, and the quickest (IE cheapest) and easiet way to create a website login is just to roll it yourself.
The excuse I usually hear for not hasing passwords is that if a user forgets the password, or the 'business' want to be able to log into customer's area's for testing purposes, it is easier if the password can be extracted from the database. "And no encrytion is not enough because then I might actually have to use some quick and easy to use tool to read the password as opposed to SQL Server Manager."
That's not an excuse for bad security.
Wanting to retrieve a password is no excuse for storing passwords unencrypted. And hashing is not the same as encrypting.
Password retrieval
I feel your pain. It's not a great excuse though, is it? All the systems that I know of have ways of retrieving or resetting passwords. In the worst case (i.e. where it's the business and not the user who wants to be able to retrieve the password), a db admin could manipulate the user's record such that the password could be retrieved/reset without going through the Web site's security checks.
It's hard, for me, to imagine a system where a db admin couldn't do that: at least where we're just talking about simple uid/pwd validation and not the use of some other security device as well.
This is getting rather propeller
Dumping dox of informants?
Uh, maybe not the best idea.
4 thumbs down?
Not sure why your post has got 4 thumbs down - I guess that proves at least 4 Register readers can't see the wider context
Exposing informants completely undermines everything. Remember Wikileaks, and the claims against them that the releases put people in the field in danger: it turns people against the idea. (It doesn't matter that it's not necessarily true - mud sticks and people will use it to get others on their side when they file their "Anti-Freedom" bills into Parliament/Congress.)
It's counter-productive. You can't claim to be fighting the good fight while putting common normal people in danger. It's just like NOTW claiming to be the soldiers' friend, while hacking the families. It reveals that the true agenda lies elsewhere
I hope this release isn't true, I appreciate it needs to be confirmed
Dumping informant details
It may endanger the informants, but it also shows that they were never really protected in the first place. Often the dangerous criminals are able to get that stuff anyways, and by the same methods, they just don't publish it and so it never gets fixed. At least this way it lets the informants know they are not safe, and cannot trust law enforcement.
It is a good tactical move.
"At least this way it lets the informants know they are not safe, and cannot trust law enforcement."
But that's the wider point, that's crucial for all of us and society. Informants *do* need to be kept safe, and *do* need to be able to trust law enforcement.
Clearly they have not been as safe as they should, but that's always been the goal. Now the goal cannot be attained.
There are better ways of highlighting the dangers to these informants than actually putting them in more danger. Before they were in a bit of danger, but now they are most certainly in absolute danger.
Well done, power to the people! Stick it to the man! Oh, wait, there are youths setting fire to a car in my road but I best not report it
They have all our info and have no qualms about using it. Now we have theirs.
Democracy at work.
"They have all our info and have no qualms about using it. Now we have theirs"
You missed the distinction.
I'm talking about informants. You're talking about members of the police.
If you want to call the police "Them" then fine. But informants are usually "Us"
WTF?? Releasing personal info on individuals - again
How can releasing the personal information of law enforcement officers possibly be justified?
In the early days it was about information security, internet openess and DRM, then it was about taking big corps down a peg or two, then it was for the lulz.
Now, they are twisting the agenda to include retaliatory attacks against the people who are employed to protect and serve. How sad that such high and noble ideals should come to potentially telling convicted murderers where 7000 cops and their families live.
It's just not funny anymore (if ever it was in the first place).
Annon, Lulz, et al - please grow up and take your anarchic agenda elsewhere.
Grow up?
You mean like switch to shooting, torturing and imprisoning people instead of just hassling them on the internet? That's what grown ups do isn't it? Besides, these are enemy combatants not innocent people. And if a few of them are innocent, oh well, that's collateral damage I guess. That's how the grown ups justify it anyway.
Is that what you want? I sure don't. I'll take juvenile mischief over the adult kind any day.
idk man
Perhaps a little better targeted -><ambivalent> After seeing a video of some poor 37 year old homeless guy with a mental issue to death in Fullerton, California recently, I'm not so sure. Hearing this guy calling for his dad as they yelled "Quit Resisting" over and over while they kicked his ass into a coma and eventual(!) death, me, having four boys of my own, saw red.I could care less about the cops that participated in that attack - throw them naked in the middle of the prison yard during open rec and turn off the cameras</ambivalent>
It is weak that AntiSec or whomever is obviously going after low-hanging fruit, at least have a legitimate target.
Their Reasoning
Disclaimer: I do not make statements to either acknowledge or deny agreement with the hackers in this case. If you think I agree, or think I disagree, please read this disclaimer again until it makes sense.
I believe the logical reasoning behind the hackers releasing all they could find on law-enforcement, is that they've seen the law-enforcement becoming profit-enforcement for those with deep pockets, and not law-enforcement for all citizens. I suspect that as long as they continue to see law-enforcement being abused as the private enforcement arm of Corporate States of America, the hackers WILL consider all law-enforcement officers, and affiliates, legal targets for their vendetta.
I can understand their logic on this one, even if I neither agree nor disagree.
This is what I was thinking
Releasing docs that expose corruption, abuse of process etc; that's one thing and something I would mostly support.
But this? This act I do not agree with. They are treating all of these officers the same and whilst there are certainly some who will deserve a sound kicking, there are many who are trying to do their job the best they can.
We have seen data unprotected, unencrypted by many government agencies and corporations for many years. They all claim to keep it safe, then they either do something stupid which gets it released, or fail to protect it as happened here, or even worse, they intentionally give it to business partners who do who knows what with it.
At the same time all this goes on, those in law enforcement and political positions are often excluded from those and other published list. Turn about is fair play. About time they get a feel of what everyone else goes through.
Falsest dichotomy I've read for a very long time. You don't have to take ANY kind of "mischief"!
It was never about information security or openess in the first place.
It's just that unlike the current crop, the old guys thought they needed a justification to get their lulz.
Hackers becoming threat to society
"AntiSec also said it released the names and personal information of anonymous law-enforcement informants"
If this is true, police should deal with these hackers the same way the gangs will deal with informants: bullet through the head. Signing people's death warrants for the lulz is not funny.
These hackers are fast becoming a threat to society. They need to be taken down quickly, before politicians start altering the law to make anonymity on the Internet impossible.
Posted anon while I still can.
enough's enough.
Maybe any fallout that results to CI's or the officers (financial endagerment or death) should be exacted on anybody found and CONVICTED of being associatted with these particular groups. If the offenders are minors, then try them as adults. If they're smart enough breeze through security like that then they're familiar with the rudimentary concepts of right and wrong.
It's one thing to be responsible for the whole of society paying higher interest rates to credit card companies; but it's entirely another to jeopardize the lives of the people who generally do their best at keeping us safe at night, while we sleep..
law enforcement screwed up as well
...looks like law enforcement wasn't taking the informants security seriously anyway if amateurs could extract plaintext lists.
Some would argue simply having the records on a computer shows reckless disregard for their safety, though it's probably cheaper and easier to just bribe a bent policeman than hire a black hat hacker...
Which is the Greater threat?
If this information is available for the scriptsters to find that easily, doesn't this show that even vaguely-organized criminal enterprises also had access to this information?
If anyone is going to put a "bullet through the head" of the scriptsters, it's more likely the organized criminals that regularly trawlled the database for information who are now going to have find a new way to get the data they want. Signing people's death warrants because you can't be bothered to secure a database is not justification to execute those who showed these sheriff/emperors had no clothes, unless you are also associated with the organized criminals who are now going to have to work harder.
The arrogance of the police to believe they don't need to encrypt their own data is a greater threat to society than the whisle-blowers. And if politicians are going to successfully alter the law to make anonymity on the Net impossible, they're going to have to start being a lot smarter than they clearly and repeatedly shown themselves to be in the past.
Sherlock sarcastically because it shouldn't take a genius to figure this out.
Sleep with the dogs, wake up with fleas etc..
"law enforcement wasn't taking the informants security seriously anyway"
Well, that's par for the course.
How do I know? Umm... better not say.
A part of me almost hopes someone does die
If an informant who stopped a serious crime is killed because of this it might finally wake a lot of people up, both the hackers and the people who store life-threatening information in plaintext format, that this is a serious issue and not to be fucked around with.
I'd rather they came to that conclusion without people dying, but somehow I doubt it.
>enough's enough.
>If the offenders are minors, then try them as adults.
Yeah and also I don't think they should have access to lawyers, or have any right to a fair trial either
Ever had personal contact .....
with an American cop in the course of his or her work? They very probably will indeed use a bullet, even if not necessarily into the head of any suspect they attempt to arrest in connection with this alleged offence.
Not saying ours are any better -- it's just that they don't have guns routinely.
Paris -- because even she knows what American cops are like.
Someone to die?
Jesus mate, how about a middle course?!
Hack in, nick stuff to show it's real, but then *don't share the bit that puts normal people in danger*
I'm sure that some informants are like the criminal rats in the moves, but I'd bet that most are normal people, pensioners on council estates, that sort of thing.
If somebody does die, public cooperation with the police will skydive. Despite the obvious problems with the police organisation, we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater
Bullet through the head?
You need to think about that for a few minutes. If ytou believe in freedom, and justice, then you should believe people are innocent until proven guilty. Your suggestion of a bullet through the head takes all that away.
Who's side are you on?
The telephone game
I don't believe I insinuated that anybody should be shot for hacking. I simply stated that if convicted, they should be tried as adults. And while I'm clarifying, I think a fair number of you seem to be operating under the misperception that 'merica is nothing more than one giant cess pool with the constant drone of small arms fire. That might be the norm for LA, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Cincinnati, most of "the south", Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and everything on the eastern seaboard, from Maryland to, oh say, the northern state border for Mass.
We're not all uncivilized heathens or uncouth trash that rely on pistols. I happen to prefer my 30-06 or my .308 rifles.
Now, back to "at the risk of sounding serious"... One can argue that the police screwed the pootch for laxed security, ok, fine. I'll grant you that one. BUT, comparing organized crime to a "hacktivist" group that's pissed at the world about wiki leaks? That's too much of a leap.
If they ever do find out who's responsible AND those suspects are found guilty then they should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Killing them? Nah, just remove all the product warning labels and get rid of product liability law suits and the gene pool will clean itself out in no time.
somehow I'm not feeling it
LEOs tend to be stupid, so this may develop into an interesting scandal.
LMAO in 5, 4, 3 ....
It's on purpose
There is SCIENCE behind hiring practices for law enforcement officers. Part of that science strongly advocates hiring people who are not very good at original thinking and who quickly respond when their intelligence/power are threatened (or perceived as threatened).
The idea being that officers won't be as prone questioning orders or to being outsmarted by crooks. Really. The idea is that you hire somone so stupid they can't be out-stupided and who can't think for themselves. It's probably not a terrible theory but in practice far too many stupid violent thugs are the people who best fit the bill.
Didn't that twat Aaron Barr pine for stuff to make Anon & Glenn Greenwald look like bad guys? This could be them
In any case, who ever did this is irresposible and stupid.
IF they use (and reuse) the same password.
Strikes me, that a badge #, or other job related "word" as a password would indicate at least rudimentary attempts to use DIFFERENT passwords.
BTW Zane, not necessarily if it's less than 100% compromise of PWs. A dictionary attack on most enctrypted password files will succeed on a great many of the passwords, whatever the source. The exact contents of the released data would tell though. 100% of passwords would indicate either a broken reversible algorithm, or plaintext storage.
But then again, consider the number of subscription websites that even today return the actual original password to an "I forgot my password" request. It most certainly is possible.
Petty disputes getting out of hand?
If I tell a local Bikie gang that they are sissies and one of them hits me, the local cops will tell they may file a report and I shouldn't be so stupid next time. The powers that be decided to take funding away from wikileaks and a bunch of people decided to hit back in a controlled way for 2 hours at each site. Had any of the payment providers simply said they were sorry and allowed payments again the spat would be over but egos got in the way and the big players got the FBI involved and their ego didn't allow them to tell the processors to just deal with it like they should have. The result is this will escalate and now its involved thousands of people outside of the grip of US law enforcement and this will lead to an all out attack against either Master Card, Visa or Paypal and it could bankrupt them if the timing is right. Since the technical details have already appeared in the IRC channels on how to bring down MC for good, its management has a legal obligation to its stock holders to make sure that doesn't happen even it it means backing down and a token donation to wikileaks. It may be morally wrong to pay the mobster not to break your knees but when they show up with a sledge hammer, you pay.
Come again?
"If I tell a local Bikie gang that they are sissies and one of them hits me, the local cops will tell they may file a report and I shouldn't be so stupid next time. The powers that be decided to take funding away from wikileaks and a bunch of people decided to hit back in a controlled way for 2 hours at each site. Had any of the payment providers simply said they were sorry..."
Oh wait, you think it's the payment providers who are being petty, not the skiddies? Oh, and while it would be interesting to see MC being taken down for good, I think it would be the easiest way to make sure you have the entire world's resources focused on finding you and landing you in a jail cell/executed for financial terrorism...
Payment Providers
Yes. They are the ones being petty. What they deserve is a good old-fashioned ass kicking on the sidewalk. I think they got off light with a couple of temporary website outages.
I don't think releasing the details of the cops is helping though. Most of those guys are just dumb rednecks who probably really try to help society (hopefully anyway). I do believe that the hackers/scripters have a valid point though. Law enforcement is getting out of hand and has become a private army for large corporations.
If a mom & pop commerce site was DDOS'd do you think the federal law enforcement would be arresting suspects on your behalf? You'd be lucky if the cop you talked to even filed a report.
Oh FFS
Can some please take these immature wankers round the back and put some bullets through their heads?
Attempting to embarrass legitimate target is (vaguely) acceptable; publishing details of innocent bystanders is just utterly stupid and irresponsible.
I don't see the point.....
I think Anon and the breakaway groups have forgotten why they started in the first place.
What do they think they are going to gain by this?
I reckon thekeyboard warriors should come out from beind their computer screens and stand up and protest in person like real children, um, men.
Re: I don't see the point.....
"I think Anon and the breakaway groups have forgotten why they started in the first place."
Nope. They started doing it for a laugh (or Lulz if you must), and they're still doing it for a laugh. No altruistic motive ever intended.
I dunno mate
"They started doing it for a laugh (or Lulz if you must), and they're still doing it for a laugh"
I dunno about that mate, try following a couple of them on Twitter. There's a whole lot of "For the People, For the Greater Good" harping going on.
We are anonymous, we are coming for you, the rights of the people cannot be trodden down by those with the power, etc etc etc.
I think some of them are certainly buying into this rhetoric, it's picking up steam but not necessarily any sense to go with it
"For the greater good"
The greater good!
Those you should be scared of
"For the People, For the Greater Good"
Sounds like self-important, self-appointed vigilantes to me. Who made them arbiters of what is the greater good? Who voted for them as enforcers for the people?
It's always the same; the zealots who are certain they know best what's right are the ones who cause the most misery.
One-time hashes?
"The file strongly suggests that the training site failed to follow industry best practices by securing the password database with one-time hashes to prevent them from being read by attackers."
What is this "one-time hash" you speak of? Is that where you do the hash then throw the salt over your shoulder for good luck?
" ordinary dictionary words, or were identical to their names or badge numbers"
Zero sympathy then.
Has to said
Piggies, start squealing.
reporting fail
"antisec" is not a group, its the name of an ongoing operation.
lemme guess, SELECT * FROM Users; ?
Well I'm glad they are helping their "friends"...
...because now prosecuters are REALLY going to make an example of them. They may of got a slap on the wrists or a few years at worst, but becuase of the moron's continuing carry on, they will get maximum penalties.
Reap what you so and all that.

Happy New Year!
Brrr - what a winter! Even with the plummeting temperatures, campus has been a flurry of activity. Construction is moving forward on both the Harold Alfond Academic Center and the new residence hall, with changes visible every day. You can check out the progress in the photos below.
Students have been busy since returning after break with trips to Boston, volunteering, and networking at the first Criminal Justice Panel and alumni gathering at Thomas.
The next issue of the Thomas Magazine is coming in March, we'll celebrate Valentine's Day with a special Class Notes section. Whether you've been married five years or 50, send us your wedding photos and a note about your anniversary, how you met, or what you do to keep romance alive! We'll include your submission in the March issue!
Stay warm - spring will be here soon!
On Tuesday, January 28, Thomas College hosted a Criminal Justice Panel event which featured a wide array of prominent members of the criminal justice community. The event was coordinated by Thomas's Career Services Department and professors within the Criminal Justice major. The intent was to connect students and alumni looking for careers in the criminal justice field with professionals who are already established. The panel of guests was moderated by Waterville's own Chief of Police, Joseph Massey.
Vice President of Advancement Bob Moore '79 introduces the panelists. (L to R): Waterville Police Chief Joe Massey; Major General Bill Libby; Maine Game Warden & member of North Woods Law Troy Thibodeau; Jason Madore, Maine State Police; Director of Surveillance at Hollywood Casinos Antonio Perez; Saco Police Department Officer Autumn Clifford '11; Thomas College Public Safety Director Jason LaVerdiere; and, FBI agent Cameron Mizell.
Not pictured here, Jesse Peasley '12.
Many diverse fields within the criminal justice community were represented: casino surveillance (Antonio Perez); military (Maj. Gen. Bill Libby); state police (Jason Madore); local police (Joseph Massey, Autumn Clifford '11, and Jesse Peasley '12); and, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Cameron Mizell. In addition, the private-security industry was represented by Thomas College Public Safety's own Jason LaVerdiere.
Perhaps the most anticipated guest, though, was Troy Thibodeau, a Maine State Game Warden and cast member of the hit TV show North Woods Law. Thibodeau spoke about how the benefits of his job go beyond just the truck, ATV, and snowmobile. Nearly every panelist confirmed this by highlighting in one way or another that their purpose was not just to catch bad guys, but, more importantly, to help and protect the good, everyday citizens. One of the more sentimental remarks made during the event was by Thomas's LaVerdiere who noted, "The most appealing and rewarding aspect of his jobs, prior and present, has been getting to know the people I serve."
The audience was thoroughly engaged, demonstrated by the lengthy question and answer session after all the panelists finished speaking. The first question of the night was posed by a female student to Autumn Clifford '11 of the Saco Police Department; she asked, "How hard is it to get into the Police Department, being a woman?" Clifford quickly responded, "It is no harder than being a man... It is all about command presence... Don't be intimidated easily." She went on to say that law enforcement needs diversity and wants diversity. Trooper Madore humorously added, "There are some females [in the Maine State Troopers] that I would never want to get on the mat with," highlighting the ability for women to be just as physically capable as men.
After the audience's questions had been answered, the formality of the panel broke, giving both the audience and the panelists a chance to network over refreshments. Bob Moore '79, Vice President of Advancement, closed out the event by remarking on how impressive both the panelists' insight and the audience engagement turned out to be.
Thomas College is honored to host Deepika Papneja as its first Fulbright Scholar. Deepika is here from Lady Shri Ram College for Women, University of Delhi, India, where her research interests include Gender and Feminist Studies, Gender and Schooling, Sociology of Education, and Social Science Education. At Thomas, Deepika is teaching classes and sharing her experiences with the Thomas community. We had an opportunity to catch up with Deepika and talk to her about her time at Thomas.
Q: Has the experience as a Fulbright Scholar met your expectations?
A: This opportunity has been so much more than I could have expected. Last semester, I have visited Thomas student-teachers at a local school every week with Dr. Phil McPhee. Between watching the learning styles of the seasoned teachers and watching the young students grow, I can say I have experienced quite a bit in the classroom. It has given me the opportunity to compare and contrast the different learning and teaching styles from here and in India. It has also allowed me to get to know my Thomas students outside of the classroom. Some students who might be reserved in class are completely different out in the field. They are extremely motivated and really care about the children they are teaching. I have also met many Thomas alumni at the schools we have visited. It is a sense of comfort knowing that they are out there teaching the next generation. I have also found a great friend in Phil.
For more of our interview with Deepika, click here.
For many Maine families, paying their taxes is hard enough, and the idea of paying someone else to file their taxes - so they can get their entitled refund - is just devastating. By offering free tax clinics, struggling Maine families can save a little more of their crucial, hard-earned money.
Thomas, again this year, has representatives volunteering to help. About ten Terriers, plus other Thomas staff and faculty, received tax-assistance training during two separate events held on January 11 and 18. By volunteering, the students not only get the rewarding experience of helping others, but they can also fulfill volunteer hours stipulated by Thomas's unique Guaranteed Job Placement program.
Professor Joe Donato commented on both the intrinsic and extrinsic rewards of involvement in the program, "It is a great way for students to learn something new and to give back to the local community, in which we are all a part of." Not only is the volunteer aspect of this experience attractive to employers, but according to Assistant Director of Career Services Diane Anderson, "Many accounting firms value the fact that the students have some tax experience and especially like to see the client-interaction experience they gain." Thus, the program allows students a great r���©sum���©-building opportunity.
Opportunity-snatchers from the Thomas community include Kathleen Baldinelli '15, Ryan DuBois '14, M.B.A. '15, Addison Dunn '15, M.B.A. '16, Kady Esty '14, M.B.A. '15, Lindsy Hoopingarner '16, Aron MacLean '17, M.B.A. '18, Dalton Myers '15, Jeri Newman '14, M.B.A. '15, Carmin Pacileo '14, M.B.A. '15, and Marcus Pratt '14, M.B.A. '15. The gracious volunteers will be helping out in one or more of the many clinics being held between January 30 and March 13. The clinics will be available in three area towns: Skowhegan, Winslow, and Waterville.
Moving Right Along!
Despite the frigid temperatures, construction of the Harold Alfond Academic Center (top) and Thomas's new residence hall (bottom) is progressing beautifully. Both facilities are scheduled to open in August 2014.

Keyboard Shortcuts to Outlook Themes
In Outlook 2010 you can sent up a Theme by going through the menu items: File / Options / Mail / Stationery and Fonts / Themes. You can also create your own theme files and have them accessible from this same location.
My question is, can you choose one of those themes when creating a new email message, using some combination of keyboard shortcuts perhaps? I notice that from within a new email message, on the Options Tab, you can select Themes, but these seem to be different from the Themes referenced above, which is a bit confusing. Can anyone point me to any good reference material on the difference between these two types of Themes and (perhaps) how to access, or turn them on, by using keyboard shortcuts?

"Listen to the chorus of the Brontosaurus
And the Stegosaurus down by the swamp
Along comes a dinosaur making such a loud roar
Thumping with his feet and going stomp, stomp, stomp
Pterodactyl flapping, long beak clacking
Big teeth snapping down from the tree
Here�s the woolly mammoth, tusks all curly
Joins the hurly-burly, oh dear me
What a noise, it�s the boys
From the Prehistoric Animal Brigade!"As just about any six-year-old will eagerly tell you, dinosaurs are awesome. And from Hollywood's point of view, they make for great, epic beasts and terrifying monsters, particularly given the fact that they actually existed at one point. Hence, it's only natural that writers would want to include dinosaurs in their stories. Unfortunately, most writers only know a few types of dinosaur (see Small Taxonomy Pools). Even dinosaur enthusiasts may be forced to avoid lesser-known dinosaurs, in case the viewers don't get it. As a result of this, series featuring dinosaurs, whether as a result of Time Travel or being set in Prehistoria or One Million BC, are almost guaranteed to feature at least one of the following.

I've got a server that broke and had to be patched by uninstalling and
reinstalling a bunch of software, including various patches and maybe
even a service pack. What's my best way to scan the server to make sure
no outdated .dlls were laid down or restored? If I'm not mistaken, most
microsoft tools check the registry, which might not be accurate in this
case. My options right now are ISS internet scanner, nessus, MBSA et
al, which is best?

Exams (Modified Assessment Provisions)
Disability Assist can liaise with the examinations office and the head of faculty administration on your behalf to arrange Modified Assessment Provisions (MAPs), but it is essential to make contact as early as possible to organise provision.
In accordance with Plymouth University Regulations students requiring MAPs must be assessed by Disability Assist prior to any provisions being put in place by meeting with a Disability Advisor.
MAPs can be made for any time constrained assessment that contributes towards a final mark for a module. The purpose of these arrangements is to facilitate equality of access for students who, because of a disability or dyslexia, may be disadvantaged when assessed under time constraints.

It is true that in the last year I haven't read as many books as I usually read - I've been so busy with other things. In the autumn of 2013 I've traveled in Western Europe, in winter and spring I studied & took dozens of online courses, in the beginning of summer 2014 I traveled in the Balkans & then been busy with university admission stuff. I did browse quite a few books though, I'll post them soon enough. Thank you for the question. I do hope to come back to reading intensively as soon as I find the trick of managing my time more effectively.

Some Christians see God as a kindly but passive observer of our choices. After all, God wouldn't ever interfere with our free will, would He? "Ask Jonah and a wry smile would come over his face." This is how Colin Smith introduces a fictional anecdote from the life of the prophet Jonah:
Would God ever interfere with our free will?
Hmmm … let's see.
I had made my choice. I suppressed my conscience, steeled my nerves and, by a free act of my own will, boarded the ship to Tarshish. But God would not let me go.
My will was taking me in the wrong direction. So God made an intervention, graciously messing with my rebellious heart to save me from a life wasted in disobedience.
God stepped into my life uninvited, through an unexpected storm, rolling dice, and pounding waves that pushed me down until, finally, I came to my senses and called on the Lord, only to find that He had already planned and provided for my salvation by sending a great fish.
But that was only the beginning. Having stretched myself out in ministry, I experienced a strange darkness in which I was overcome by resentment. Left to myself, I would have slouched into retirement angry with God and bitter about the events that had shaped my life. But God stepped in and showed me His compassion.
Would God interfere with our free will? I'm glad He interfered with mine! Left to myself, I would still be running from God, and who knows where I would be today? Rebellion and resentment were my foolish choice. Salvation comes from the Lord.

The Scoop on Baby Poop
The Scoop on Baby Poop
-Bowel movements are part of every baby's normal development and parents are always concerned about what's normal and what's not. I'm Dr. Jennifer Trachtenberg, author of Goods Kids, Bad Habits: The RealAge Guide to Raising Healthy Children. And I'm going to ease parents' fears and concerns about babies. Babies start having bowel movements within the 1st 24 hours and it's called meconium, thick, black waste material that's already in their intestines prior to birth. And then, after the 1st 24 hours, their stool go to more normal color, yellow green consistency. Well, some of you can tell how a lot about a baby from their poop. And so, that's why parents are also concerned in looking into the baby's poop. Certainly, if it's hard, you can see if the baby's constipated or maybe not getting enough fluid or fiber. The stool is gonna help us tell if the baby's having issues with malnutrition or mal-absorption, if there's any type of allergy or infection. So, you can get really a lot of information from baby poop. There is a big difference between stools, between a breastfed baby and a baby that's fed formula. Breastfed babies, typically, have what we call seedy-yellow, mustardy-looking stool. So, it's very soft, the consistency of watery scrambled eggs for breastfed babies. For babies that are fed formula, their stools are usually darker in color, greenish brown. And it can be even a thicker consistency, more like a peanut butter consistency. The amount of times that newborn poops or has bowel movements varies from infant to infant, but, in general, newborn babies that are breastfed, they may even have a bowel movement with each feed. And that's actually from something called a gastrocolic reflex that, as they eat, it makes their intestines move forward and they have a bowel movement. So, breastfed babies, typically, at the beginning, may have a bowel movement with every feed. Formula-fed babies usually have bowel movements or poop less often against- a few times a day, 2 or 3 times a day but, as they get older, it maybe only 1 time a day. Certainly, a baby can get constipated if they're now taking in a formula or breastfed. They're not getting enough fluid in their system. They're not getting enough fiber. A baby can get constipated. And what constipated is, is also not just- not having a bowel movement for a day or 2 because, as breastfed babies get older, they may not even actually pass a stool for up to a week and that's normal. What constipation is, is when the stool comes out and it's hard and it's small and it looks like pellets and it can be painful. So, it's more what it looks like as supposed to the frequency. And sometimes, we do need to get baby laxatives and that can either be orally or, sometimes, it's a suppository, depending on what the baby needs. But first, it's always important to speak with your pediatrician before giving any type of laxative to your baby. It's certainly very important to look out for diarrhea in your baby and that's usually watery, explosive stools that happen frequently throughout the day. And, yes, this is very dangerous because the baby, certainly, can get dehydrated. They're so small they can get dehydrated quickly. So, if your baby's stool patterns change, and it's very frequent and they're not feeding well, it's certainly important to speak with your pediatrician. In summary, it's really important to know that there is a wide range of normal when it comes to baby poop. But if you really do see a significant difference in your baby's bowel habits, it's really important to contact your physician.

Sir Thomas Malory (c.1405March 14, 1471) was the author or compiler of Le Morte d'Arthur. The antiquary John Leland believed him to be Welsh, but most modern scholarship and this article assumes that he was Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire. The surname appears in various spellings, including Maillorie and Maleore. The name comes from the Old French adjective maler (from Latin male auguratus) meaning ill-omened or unfortunate.

Speaking of Bloomberg unicorn magic:
"The Bloomberg administration has put city agencies on alert that they must slash another two percent from their budgets this year, and a whopping six percent in 2013, to cope with a "dire financial situation."
Agencies including the NYPD, FDNY and the Department of Education have two weeks to submit their suggestions to the city's budget office, according to a letter sent to city agencies on Tuesday."
Note the NYC Department of Education has had 3 straight years of budget cuts, and classrooms are bursting at the seams. The article is worth a read.
