Chupacabra? Or a squatch
My sis is finding more and more of her guinea fowl dead and their heads missing.
Skunks and coons are known for decapitating chickens and drinking their blood. But, we haven't seen either near the gruesome crime scene, just off Hwy 70 between Madill and Ardmore.
So we are initiating Operation Pole Cat Trap as of today. Before googling, I had no idea about skunk bait. Peanut butter on crackers and crisp fried bacon sound too good to set out as skunk bait. I think we eventually decided on an open tin of sardines for the ease of purchase, cheap and smelly.
Yeah if it is a skunk that we catch, we still have not thought about it far enough ahead to decide what to do with it.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Chuck's version of Christmas is the Anti-SicEm-
Chupacabra? Or a squatch
You only live once, but if you work it right...once is enough!
when i was stationed in Honduras - the vet techs used to trap/euthanize skunks
they'd put a piece of dried fish in that live animal trap....one would go in - get the death penalty, be removed and others would follow their predecessor without the need of any bait
weird animals
as for the disposition - they had the luxury of the euthanasia drug - but they attached the syringe on the end of a pool cue so they could jab it from a far - there was always a spray though
are you where you can shoot them without moving the trap?
Until you kill what ever it is it will keep coming back until its killed every Guinea ya have
If God wanted Men to look women in the eyes, He wouldnt have gave em Boobs !
Set up one of those trap cameras to see if you can get a picture of it.
"I'm going to request that you stop posting in this thread." - circa 2008
"Why does there have to be so much immature stuff on here?" - circa 2010
Live trap with a long rope . . . . drag it to a pond and then throw it in. Feed the fish and turtles.
Are these guineas getting it at night? Do they normally roost in trees overnight, or do they go in a pen, etc?
i like the drowning suggestion!
wait......guineas are birds?
i thought this was a cultural reference to some italians you had in your yard
Shotgun at medium range, target downwind
I fly fake airplanes
I like the drowning option too.
Chuck's version of Christmas is the Anti-SicEm-
Probably an owl.
Poultry and other livestock are vulnerable to a wide range of predators. Frequent sightings of hawks and owls near the depredation site may be a clue to the predator involved, but these sightings could be misleading. When a partially eaten carcass is found, it is often difficult to determine the cause of death. In all cases, the remains must be carefully examined. Raptors usually kill only one bird per day. Raptor kills usually have bloody puncture wounds in the back and breast from the bird's talons. Owls often remove and eat the head and sometimes the neck of their prey. In contrast, mammalian predators such as skunks or raccoons often kill several animals during a night. They will usually tear skin and muscle tissue from the carcass and cut through the feathers of birds with their sharp teeth.
Devil worshipers...guar. un. teed.
OleVet Posse Instigator
I did not instigate this conversation, but overheard it today. I guy I know was talking about the mortality rate of his old guineas. He said they typically went into a coop with the chickens at night. One night he went out to put them up, and a guinea was roosting on something outside the coop.
He kept trying to shoo the thing into the coop, then realized it was roosting upright, but had no head. He was very perplexed by the affair.
So there's that, too.
Obviously, a skunk or coon can't do that and I'm not sure that an owl could either. There have been no further decapitations at my grandparent's old homeplace over the last 3-4 days, so maybe it, whatever it is, has moved on to your neck of the woods, cleller.
Chuck's version of Christmas is the Anti-SicEm-
My neighbor's got a cat that kills and eats the heads off of bunnies and field rats.
so, I'd advise also shooting any cat that crosses your path. Just on spec.

These beauties also make a very good alternative to mince pies. I buy the icing ready-made and dyed (which is why it isn't a very convincing color for holly, let's be frank) and use cranberries as the holly berries. The cake underneath is somewhere between chocolate and gingerbread. If you're thinking of taking anything to friends' houses, may I suggest these?
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, mixed spice, and salt. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then beat in a third of the flour mixture followed by a tablespoon of the sour cream, repeating till all is used up.
Put the water, chocolate, and instant coffee in a pan and heat gently, just until the chocolate's melted. Fold this into the cake batter, but don't overheat. The mixture will be very thin, but don't worry about that: just pour carefully into the waiting muffin cups and put in the oven for about 20 minutes, until each little cake is cooked through but still dense and damp. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then slip out the cakes in their papers and sit on a wire rack until completely cold.
To ice them, make up the royal icing according to the package instructions and cover the tops of the cupcakes thickly. Cut out holly leaves and sit two on each cake, and then press on your berries, perhaps putting two on some, three on others.

I think Bane in those two games are portrayed wrong. He's basically an idiot who just runs at you and smashes and throws shit. Except for The Dark Knight Rises, I think Bane has been portrayed as an idiot outside comics from what I seen.
Bane in Arkham Asylum/City Portrayed Wrong?

Actually, I found his portrayal in Arkham City to be acceptable: He was certainly intelligent, he knew what he was doing, he had a purpose, and he had his bear.
Those are all the things I look for in a good Bane. Dark Knight Rises didn't have the last one, sadly.

As great as a Batman writer Paul Dini is, (my personal favorite) Bane is a character he just doesn't understand. Tom Hardy's performance was truer to the character than pretty much anything I can think of.

@JonSmith: This.
Also, I know this is a very unpopular sentiment around here, but I don't think there's a right or wrong necessarily in portrayal of a character. Just like there have been previously funny and foppish versions of Batman (60s show) or a Batman that uses firearms (very first Batman stories) there can be multiple versions of the other characters.

There isn't really any right or wrong way to portray a superhero or villain, but I get what you mean. He wasn't portrayed in a way we would have liked to have seen and wasn't portrayed as well as he could have been.

I feel like he was done okay. He was rather intelligent, though not much of a strategist in combat haha, but my main gripes are his ridiculous, laughable looking size and face and just his lack of strategy. Doesn't work for Bane IMO.

When you really think about it, Lynn Harless is the one responsible for bringing sexy back! Justin Timberlake's mom gave birth to the musical prodigy on January 31, 1981, and has helped her son every step of the way on his path to international superstardom. So how does JT show his appreciation? Like any devoted son would: Timberlake has a tattoo of his mom's initials inked on his back. He once told Rolling Stone, "She's been my best friend since I figured out who I wanted to be." These two are definitely in sync.

Freddie Mac Q4 2006 Earnings Call TranscriptMar. 23, 2007 • 1 Comment
Wed, Dec. 17, 11:30 AM
- Appearing on Bloomberg TV, Bill Ackman says he added "meaningfully" to his positions in Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA +6.8%) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC +6.5%) last week.
Wed, Dec. 10, 3:15 PM
- "The only way to responsibly end the conservatorship is through legislation," said Treasury's Michael Stegman recently, dashing hopes the President might do for Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA -2.2%) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC -2.1%) what he recently did for immigration (i.e. end a legislative stalemate by making an executive order).
- These weren't off-the-cuff remarks, notes John Carney, but a prepared speech published on the Treasury website.
- Still, says Carney, bulls on the GSEs continue to pine for a "quick fix" to end the conservatorships and maybe give some real value to their common stock. "Simple or not, it isn't a play the Obama administration is set to call."
Mon, Dec. 8, 12:53 PM
- "There is a group of millennials that are waiting out there to jump into the market that do have the ability to repay," say FHFA officials on a call announcing official approval of 97% LTV mortgages.
- Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA -2%), which has more experience with the program, is already accepting applications, but Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC -2.1%) - newer to the product - is waiting until late March for full implementation.
- Homebuilder ETFs: XHB, ITB
Sat, Nov. 29, 8:00 AM
- New guidelines - set to take full effect on December 1 - are the result of an agreement reached last month between banks and the GSEs meant to clarify exactly when lenders could be called to task for mortgages sold to Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC) which ultimately default. Since the financial crisis, Fannie and Freddie have forced banks to repurchase billions of dollars worth of mortgages, leaving them naturally gun-shy about making new loans to all but the most pristine of credits.
- "It's providing greater certainty for all the parties so that you can lend more confidently and make the whole judgment process much easier and more clear cut," says Mike Heid, president of Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) Home Mortgage. Along with SunTrust (NYSE:STI), Wells says borrowers should begin to see initial changes - such as faster processing times, reduced credit score requirements, and greater leeway to those whose credit history suffered due to one-time events - in a few weeks.
- "We will be able to be looser and open up the net wider," says Mason-McDuffie Mortgage CEO Bill Godfrey, now expecting to make loans down to a 620 credit score from 660 previously.
- Not everyone agrees: "Unless we are convinced that the rules are going to be permanent and there is not going to be a look back or a reach back in future times…we are simply going to stay on the sidelines," U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) boss Richard Davis has said, and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) CEO Brian Moynihan made similar comments at a recent conference.
Fri, Nov. 21, 2:12 AM
- Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC) have revised their representation and warranty framework in response to lender concerns about the risk on buying back loans sold to the two agencies.
- Fannie says it can now only seek a mortgage repurchase if it determines the failure to comply would undermine its rights on the loan, result in a liability for the company or if the lender violated a consumer protection law or regulation. Freddie has made similar changes.
Wed, Nov. 19, 11:50 AM
- "Everyone agrees that conservatorship cannot continue forever," says Senator Tim Johnson in prepared remarks for a Senate Banking Committee hearing on the GSEs. "If Congress cannot agree on a smooth, more certain path forward, I urge you, (FHFA) Director Watt, to engage the Treasury Department in talks to end the conservatorship."
- Watt: "Conservatorship cannot, should not be a permanent state."
- Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA +10.6%), Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC +9%)
Thu, Nov. 6, 10:13 AM
- Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC -2.7%) Q3 comprehensive income of $2.8B vs. $1.9B in Q2, with $1.3B less of derivatives losses in Q3 and $800M more income of legal settlements.
- Based on end-of-quarter net worth of $5.2B, Freddie's dividend payment to Treasury will be $2.8B, bringing total paid to $91B vs. $72.3B in draws.

Thu, Nov. 6, 8:28 AM
- Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC): Q3 Net income of $2.10B
- Revenue of $4.5B beats by $1.02B.
- Press Release (.pdf)
Tue, Oct. 21, 4:46 AM
- The nation's chief housing regulator, Mel Watt, announced a new program Monday which will allow more home-buyers to get loans at lower rates and with much smaller down payments.
- The program will also attempt to reassure banks that have had to pay tens of billions of dollars to settle legal cases arising from the housing boom and bust and buy back bad loans sold to Fannie (OTCQB:FNMA) and Freddie (OTCQB:FMCC).
- "We know this issue has contributed to lenders' imposing credit overlays that drive up the cost of lending," announced Watt.
Fri, Oct. 17, 12:20 PM
- One of the key issues serving as a road block to mortgage lending is banker fear over having any loans put back to them by the GSEs at any time - even years down the road - for any number of reasons.
- This concern was voiced most pointedly in the late summer by Wells Fargo (WFC +1.2%) CEO John Stumpf in the kind of call-out of regulators you don't often hear from corporate leaders.
- The WSJ is now reporting that Fannie (OTCQB:FNMA +5.9%), Freddie (OTCQB:FMCC +7.3%), their regulators, and banks are near a deal in which the lenders could feel protected enough to begin granting mortgages to those without perfect credit and employment histories.

Mon, Oct. 13, 8:58 AM
- "The cash that we've raised we intend to use for a new commitment," says Bill Ackman tells Bloomberg following the European IPO of Pershing Square Holdings. "We have a new investment we're going to announce probably in the next 45-60 days."
- "We bought a lot more Fannie (OTCQB:FNMA) and Freddie (OTCQB:FMCC) stock in the week or so since the adverse court decision ... I think we increased our position by about 20%." Ackman finds it interesting Judge Lamberth weighed in on the taking plan even though it's out of his court's jurisdiction.
- "I think a new board will likely be installed at that date," says Ackman of Allergan (NYSE:AGN) and the December 18 shareholder meeting. He thinks it highly remote that he won't be able to vote his 9.7% stake in the company.
Fri, Oct. 10, 8:21 AM
- "Fairholme believes strongly that the Net Worth Sweep imposed four years after the financial crisis was not authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and must be unwound," says the fund company, announcing the filing of an appeal of Judge Royce Lamberth's dismissal of lawsuits against the government over the GSEs.
- "Fairholme also believes strongly that the FHFA has contractual and fiduciary duties to the preferred shareholders of Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC), and that these duties can and will be enforced."
- Press release
- Previously: Ackman adds to Fannie/Freddie bets
Fri, Oct. 10, 8:04 AM
- Bill Ackman has added to his 10% stake in Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC) since the stocks got clobbered by a federal court ruling last week.
- The stocks have trimmed losses after dropping almost 50% when Judge Royce Lamberth threw out lawsuits by Fairholme Capital and Perry Capital, who claimed Washington improperly seized their property by changing the terms of its agreement with them.
Fri, Oct. 3, 1:09 PM
- "The district court's decision overlooks important points of law and improperly resolved key questions of fact based on the government's cherry-picked record," says Perry Capital attorney Ted Olson. "The merits of this case deserve to be heard in court."
- Previously: Carney: Don't buy the dip in Frannie
- Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA +20.2%), Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC +20.3%)
Thu, Oct. 2, 9:59 AM
- The 52-page ruling from U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth "meticulously demolishes" every argument made by investors claiming Treasury and the FHFA acted illegally when altering Fannie Mae's (OTCQB:FNMA -10%) and Freddie Mac's (OTCQB:FMCC -7.3%) bailout agreement in 2012.
- The new agreement, says Lamberth, is clearly within the bounds of authority Congress granted in 2008 when passing a law overhauling oversight of the GSEs.
- Yes, Lamberth's ruling doesn't directly affect the dozens of other pending lawsuits, but now plaintiff's attorneys will have to start out explaining how Lamberth got things wrong.
- Previously: Fannie and Freddie plunge after investor lawsuit dismissed
Wed, Oct. 1, 9:46 AM
- The first among about 20 cases still to be decided, a U.S. Federal judge rejected investor claims, and found the government's 2012 amendment helping itself to nearly all Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA -34.9%) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC -33%) profits is kosher.

Does anyone know of Surgical Technologist undergraduate programs anywhere in the US?

I have a question that is related to Surgical Technologist undergraduate programs anywhere in the nation.
Does anyone know of ANY that are online and related to obtaining a BA in Surgical Technology?
Thanks so very much,
- 0Dec 3, '12 by Rose_Queen, MSN, RN GuideYou may be able to take some classes online, such as the basic prerequisites, however, the previous poster is correct in saying that clinicals are a required part of surgical tech classes. Also, most programs grant an associates degree rather than a bachelors.

Vt. committee votes for driver-cellphone ban
A Vermont House Committee wants Vermont to ban use of handheld cellphones while driving.
The House Judiciary Committee voted in favor of the bill Friday but the governor and lieutenant governor oppose such a ban.
Gov. Peter Shumlin said earlier in the week that he's not a fan of passing legislation "that's going to force people to break the law." He says the best thing Vermonters can do is use common sense.
Vermont already has a ban on texting while driving.
The National Conference of State Legislators says 12 states restrict drivers from talking on cellphones held to their ears.

Survivor Review: Faithfully Challengedby Dan Forcella at . Comments
Brandon Hantz, the nephew of now famous former Survivor Russell Hantz, has all of his uncle's worst qualities, and none of the good ones.
Russell was conniving in a charming way. He was disruptive in a fun-loving way. And he was just dumb enough to make his evil behavior seem sincere. In "He Has Demons" Brandon proved to be annoyingly conniving, disgustingly disruptive, and so unintelligent and oblivious to his surroundings that at times I thought I was in some sort of dream state.
During the first few days Brandon waxed on and on about how he was never going to let anyone know he was Russell's nephew, but at the start of episode two, he told Coach immediately. He even used God and his faith as his reason for revealing his secret to Coach, but then sneakily made sure that the Dragonslayer kept that nugget of info on the DL. Yeah, God wants you to share your secret with Coach, but nobody else.
It only became worse from there, as his odd and disturbing obsession with Mikayla hit new strides. The dude claims she is using seduction on all the men, but unless the editors are doing an absolute number on us, she seems to be standing around most of the time just like everybody else.
Which is where the confusing part sets in. What is he actually talking about when he keeps mentioning that he can't have her around because he's a married man? Brandon has his doubts about Mikayla because he's faithful to his wife? He's uncomfortable around her. Why? Because he'll be tempted to cheat? The kid is both so incredibly hypocritical and so very delusional. Believe me, you're not her type.
Brandon Incepted the thought in his own mind that he needed Mikayla gone, that he went all around camp proclaiming his feelings, while everyone else in and out of his alliance told him it was a bad idea. While his strong core of seven continued to plan to vote for Christine and Stacey, Brandon kept his Mikayla hating up all the way to tribal, where he outright revealed that he was telling everyone to vote for her.
Apparently, that plan didn't work, thanks in part to the Dragonslayer laying everything out on the line, but mostly because it was all an editing mirage. These guys had their seven votes locked in well before tribal council, but that doesn't mean it wasn't exciting to be worried that Mikayla was going to get ousted well before her time, or to be giddy at the thought of the entire tribe pulling a switcheroo and shoving Lil Hantz off to Redemption Island.
While the blue squad had to deal with the insufferable Brandon Hantz, Ozzy, Keith and Jim were making quite a strong alliance over on team red. With the 3+2 alliance of the three men, Whitney and Elise, they will be in good shape at the merge. The fact that Ozzy now has a hidden idol just puts them - or him - in that much better position.
A few other thoughts from "He Has Demons:"
- Nice to see the challenges going every other thus far. The worst thing that can happen to an early season of Survivor is the same team winning challenge after challenge.
- This week only having one challenge was a bit disappointing, especially since it meant more Brandon time, and the one we did have wasn't all that exciting. Bravo to the ladies of blue for a fantastic job unbraiding, but boy did the men have trouble with those heavy blocks.
- So that past few years Russell has found hidden idols next to the biggest trees right next to camp, but now Ozzy has to climb up a million trees out into the ocean to find his? It doesn't seem fair, but I'd rather they be more difficult like this, than as easy as they seemed the past few seasons.
- Semhar's poetry to the camera at Redemption Island was so bad that the crab went back into its whole. I think all of the crickets left as well.
And with that, the tribe and I have spoken.

Brandon couldn't be more annoying in this episode. Just plain stupidity and a waste of time.
in the pre-season teasers brandon stated he was going to redeem the hantz name from the meglamanical russell's behavior.brandon just admit that mikayla turns you on,you are just like every other philandering man that thinks with your penis and there is no redeeming factors is your actions!!
I enjoyed and liked Rusell Hantz's Survivor time and was bummed that he didn't win. Richy's right, Russell never did fall over the ladies, he played the game as it should be. Brandon watching Mikayala seems off, he almost exhibits the creep fractor. It's creepy! I don't think he has the skill to make it to the end like his uncle. Live on Russell, I'll always be one of your biggest fans!
The "Hantz" men have some serious women issues. Russell considers them servants & Brandon considers them seductresses. Major Napoleon complexes in that family. For such "religious" individuals, they are most certainly the most judgmental! Mikayla could take that little toad out any day, any time. It's go time Brandon, you little dchebag!
Brandon has a problem that he brought to the game. He should have left it at home or not played the game. And he does't need to keep him being Russell's nephew a secret.
I think Brandon is acting more like a stalker with poor Mykala than worried that she is a threat in the game, he constantly glares and stares at her from afar...seems he is worried anout his other "demon" getting him in trouble...not that she would be interested in a whacko like him...
I think Brandon is an egotistical idiot. The way he kept saying the entire episode that he would get Mkayla voted off was so funny. As though he has so much power that everyone is going to do what he wants. I figured it would backfire on him and he would be the one voted off. Oh, well, there's always next week.
brandon is getting on my last nerve. what is his problem? mikayla isn't all that pretty..she is just annoying, however, not as much as christine. as for the poetry.. I muted the tv until she was finished.. she is a nut case..jmho
I think Brandon has been unfaithful in the past and perhaps has a wife that told him he better not go near any of the females and he feels threatened by Mikayla being a pretty girl. He has his issues...... Still love Ozzie and Coach has grown on me too over the years, lol. Good show last night.
Wow, for the entire episode I thought I was alone in wondering WTF was with Brandon's obsession. Sure, Mikayla is pretty & young. No different then any other Survivor season!
Didn't see Uncle Russell falling over Parvarti for her tatas, eh? I really think that in the next episode or two the truth will come out about why he's this way towards a pretty lady in his vicinity. Or he'll use religion as a crutch, "it's not my fault blah blah". But in my opinion, if you have such lack of self control that you can't be around a bikini then stay at home, not where everyone swims in their underwear, even Casp- er, Cochrane.

NY Daily News: Ban All Killer Weapons Because We're All To Blame
Never let it be said that Liberals won't take advantage of each and every tragedy to push their political agenda (too bad they didn't push to make communism criminal, as Stalin and Mao murdered tens of millions of people)
Ban killer weapons and do it right now: The logic is simple: New laws will prevent mass murder
I think we already have laws against mass murder. People who break them obviously do not care about The Law.
Newtown. Oak Creek temple. Aurora. Tucson. Fort Hood. Virginia Tech. Columbine. The Long Island Rail Road. The list goes on like the names of battlefields from far-off wars.
But it is the war at home. Mass shootings, year in, year out. Doubt that we are at war? More Americans have been killed in our country within in the last year by guns than all U.S. soldiers killed in all of the years of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Want to know who's to blame? Each and every one of us, gun owners and non-gun owners. Muffled outrage and wringing of hands are not enough.
Personally, I feel no blame. I feel no remorse for sticking up for the 2nd Amendment rights of gun owners. None of the gun laws that Liberals are pushing would have stopped this tragedy. We also have laws against blowing up buildings. That did not stop Timothy McVeigh. We have laws against raping women and killing them. That didn't stop Ted Bundy. We have laws against hijacking airplanes. That didn't stop the 19 Islamists on 9/11.
Afterwards we can reflect on what else to do. But we owe these 20 precious, dead 5-to-10 year old children the solemn obligation to take serious measures, and swiftly. Why ban assault weapons and large capacity magazines? Not because it will save every last life. Since when is that the standard?
Because it will help. In virtually every single one of the mass shootings in America going back to the McDonald's slaying in California in 1984, an assault weapon has been used and in every single one, one or multiple large capacity magazines have been used.
The Newtown child-killer may or may not have used handguns, and not an assault weapon, to murder children. But wouldn't you rather prevent the deaths you can prevent?
Neither handgun used in this tragedy would be covered by any of the legislation that Democrats have proposed. They aren't assault weapons, and they aren't high capacity mags. The insane killer did have a .223 Bushmaster, but that was left in the car when he went on his murderous rampage.
The only answer would be to ban all guns. Not just scary looking weapons (many non-scary looking guns with the same caliber are manufactured and used for legitimate hunting purposes) and high cap mags. That's the only way to be sure. Lock down all the borders to keep guns from coming in to the country.
Want to blame someone? Let's blame the entertainment industry for using guns on TV and in movies. Let's blame organizations that use armed security guards in their lobbies (like, say, The NY Times Building (there is no info I can find on the NY Daily News building)). Let's blame politicians who have Secret Service protection which carries weapons, including scary looking sub-machine guns. Let's blame Democrat voters who refuse to give up their own firearms.
Or, we can blame the unhinged shooters, who apparently want their 15 minutes of fame as they commit mass murder prior to suicide.
If only Liberals showed the same outrage when the Obama administration was running guns to Mexico which resulted in the deaths of over 200 Mexicans and at least 2 US federal agents.
More: Just so Liberals stop whining and deflecting, let it be noted that information that came out after this post was published states that the .223 Bushmaster was the weapon used, not the handguns. Previous reports stated that the Bushmaster was in the killer's car. (WordPress for Android was cutting off some of the article if I used it to edit)

The following terms are frequently used to describe online security and identity theft. You should become familiar with them so you avoid any possible security breach. Our list is not meant to be your total source of information or to cover the whole universe of security information; however, building familiarity is critical to maintaining your long term internet security program.
Anti-Virus Software
Anti-virus software should be installed on your home computer and laptop to scan your email and the files on your computer for potential viruses that may be attached. If a virus is detected, you are notified immediately and the anti-virus software will prevent the email or file from being sent to you before it is opened. You should run your anti-virus software on a frequent basis to prevent computer infections like viruses, worms, or Trojan Horses from entering your computer system. Purchase a program that automatically upgrades your virus protection on a regular basis. Three popular sources for anti-virus and firewall protection software are Symantec®, McAfee®, and Computer Associates®.
A browser is a software application that works with the Internet to provide you a way to find, view and interact with websites and web pages. Two popular web browsers are Microsoft® Internet Explorer and Netscape® Navigator.
Cable Modem
Cable modems provide high-speed internet access using cable television networks. They use either the traditional coaxial cables or newer fiber optic cables for the transmission of data. Cable modems offer continuous connection to the internet without having to dial into an Internet Service Provider (ISP) each time you connect to the internet.
The main purpose of cookies is to identify visitors to a website in order to customize web pages for them each time they return. Cookies are harmless and are primarily used to deliver a more efficient and consistent online experience. When you visit a website, a cookie is placed on your computer that contains information about your computer preferences and allows customization of the site for your use. When County Commerce Bank uses cookies, personal information is encrypted for our use only and protected from third party access.
Credit Monitoring
A credit monitoring program can be purchased through a credit bureau (i.e., Equifax) and is designed to keep you aware of your credit report and current credit status. These programs typically alert you to changes in your credit or credit inquiries from financial sources. If you suspect illegal activity regarding your credit, you should contact the financial institution, your creditors, and your credit monitoring program company.
Digital Certificates
Like a driver's license or passport, digital certificates allow individuals or organizations on the internet to verify each other's identity to prevent unauthorized access. A digital certificate is a randomly generated set of characters that a computer sends to your browser. The browser on your computer stores this information and uses it as a digital stamp to certify the authenticity of the information sent to you and as a means of establishing identity. You may see a digital certificate issuer logo at the bottom of a browser page for your reference.
When you apply for credit at County Commerce Bank, or conduct account management transactions, the information you enter online is "encrypted" or transformed into a string of unrecognizable characters before being sent over the internet. This helps to keep the information between the financial institution's computer system and your internet browser private. The strongest level of encryption is 128-bit, used on popular web browsers such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer and Netscape® Navigator. Your session is in a secured "encrypted" environment when you see https:// in the web address, or when you see the locked "padlock" symbol at the bottom right corner of your browser window.
Firewall software can be installed on company and home computers as a barrier against hackers and viruses. Firewalls are used to filter potentially destructive information or prevent unauthorized access. This is especially important on computers that use a broadband connection to access the internet (cable modems or DSL) since your internet connection is on when your computer is on. Three popular resources for firewall protection are Symantec®, McAfee®, and Computer Associates®.
Keystroke Capturing
Keystroke capturing or keystroke logging is a surveillance tool that is illegally used to record the keystrokes of unsuspecting victims in order to determine password and log-in information that can be used for theft purposes. To help reduce your risk, an additional password called a Security Key will now be required for use with the County Commerce Bank Online Bill Pay service. The Security Key provides an extra level of protection online if your primary password were to be compromised.
Phishing Schemes
Phishing schemes typically start with fraudulent email messages that masquerade as communications from reputable banks, credit card companies, online auctions, and department stores. The email messages include links to fraudulent websites known as "spoof" sites that are crafted to resemble sites from reputable companies. The spoof site asks consumers to provide or update their personal information. When consumers provide the requested information to the spoof site, the consumer is "phished" and becomes at risk for account theft, identity theft and computer infection.
Review the Anti-Phishing Working Group site to read about current phishing and spoofing attacks that have been reported. No reputable company would request personal information via email and you should contact the company in question if you suspect the email is fraudulent.
County Commerce Bank will NEVER request password or personal information through email.
A plug-in is a software module that adds a specific functionality to the web browser. For example, plug-ins for Netscape® Navigator and Internet Explorer allow the browsers to display various types of audio and video messages or popular Adobe® Acrobat PDF files.
Privacy Policies
Today, many companies publish a Privacy Policy to provide customers with details on how the company keeps information private, how the information is shared and why it is collected. It is a good practice to read the Privacy Policy of a company with which you may have account or financial dealings. County Commerce Bank provides our Privacy Policy on our website.
Secure Sessions/SSL
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology encrypts your personal information before it leaves your computer, insuring that no one else can read it. You will know that you are on a "secured" page when you see the "https://" before the web address. You also will see a padlock symbol in the lower right hand corner of your browser window. A closed padlock indicates that your online session is "secured" by encryption to protect your personal information.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol provides a high level of security for internet communications. SSL provides an encrypted communications session between your web browser and a web server. SSL helps verify that sensitive information (e.g., credit card numbers, account balances and other proprietary financial and personal data) sent over the internet between your browser and a web server remains confidential during online transactions.
Security Holes / Bugs
Security holes / bugs are faults, defects or programming errors exploited by unauthorized users to access computer networks or web servers from the internet. As these holes or bugs become known, software publishers develop "patches", "fixes" or "updates" that users can download to fix the problems.
Security Key
In a continuing effort to bring you the latest online banking security, an additional password, called a Security Key, will be required for use with the County Commerce Bank Online Bill Pay service. The Security Key provides an extra level of protection if your primary password were to be compromised. You will create your Security Key using your mouse and a virtual keyboard that will appear on your screen. The added Security Key is for your online protection and will help prevent your password from being obtained by key logging software. Once your Key has been entered correctly, you can continue to use the Bill Pay service just as you do today.
Server Authentication
When you log into an internet site that requires authentication, you input a specific Customer ID or user name and password to gain access to your account information. The encrypted information then passes through a rigorous test on County Commerce Bank's computer systems to insure proper authorization before your account information is displayed.
Session Time-outs
For your added online security, County Commerce Bank uses a session time-out feature. If your internet account management session is idle for a given amount of time, your session is ended automatically. This will insure that your online session is in a "secured" environment and that the personal information you enter is protected. A closed padlock symbol indicates a secured page is being used. Never input personal information on a website form or application that does not display the https:// before a website address or a padlock symbol.
Social Engineering
Social engineering is an identity theft process that relies on human interaction and often involves tricking individuals into providing personal information such as bank account information or passwords. Social engineers do things such as search dumpsters for valuable information, memorize access codes by looking over someone's shoulder, and take advantage of people's natural inclination to choose passwords that are meaningful to them, but can be easily guessed (e.g., children's names, addresses, or birth dates). The personal information discovered is then used illegally to apply for credit, purchase goods and services, or gain access to funds.
Any unsolicited email is defined as "spam". It fills up email files and could add additional pop-up windows on your computer screen. You can purchase anti-spam software to filter unwanted email or spam from your email list until you delete it.
Spoofing Scams
As part of a "phishing" scam, some individuals or groups commit internet fraud by creating authentic-looking websites to resemble other sites. Financial institutions are the most targeted groups to be "spoofed" (or have their sites copied). Through email, the spoofed or forged sites attempt to persuade readers to input personal and banking details by creating a sense of urgency around the request.
Many spoofed sites are difficult to detect as fraud. They use company logos, graphics, text and credible-looking links, and website addresses. Don't be fooled by the email or the links and don't provide information without checking directly with the bank or company first. Visit the Anti-Phishing Working Group repository to learn about business sites that have been spoofed and the traits of known fraud attacks.
Spyware / Adware
Adware is a software application in which advertising banners or "pop-ups" are displayed on your computer screen while the program is running. Similar to adware, spyware is software that also includes codes to track a user's personal information, which is then passed on to third parties without the user's knowledge. The spyware programs are typically bundled with other freeware or shareware programs that are downloaded from the internet. Spyware is like a Trojan Horse computer infection because it is installed when users install something else.
Pop-ups caused by adware and spyware programs slow system performance, using memory and system resources that can lead to system crashes and instability. Adware and spyware programs invade your online privacy and are considered to be another form of identity theft. The programs may have the ability to monitor keystrokes, scan files on your hard drive, change the default homepage on your browser, and relay information about your web visits for marketing purposes. Several companies offer anti-adware or anti-spyware software to detect and delete the programs include: Lavasoft, SpyBot, Trend Micro, PC World, Symantec, McAfee, and Computer Associates®.
Trojan Horse
A Trojan Horse is the name of another type of virus, which is simply a computer program that masks as another program. Trojan Horses are sent as an email file attachment. Once opened, it can cause damage to your computer and send itself to other people in your address book to propagate itself.
A virus is a program that replicates itself without the user's knowledge, then disrupts the computer or keeps programs from running properly. Viruses are spread through file sharing and downloaded programs and are often sent in email attachments. Never open an email attachment unless first scanned through anti-virus software.
A worm is a small program that searches through networks to find security holes to replicate itself from machine to machine. Worms use up computer time, space, and speed when replicating, with an intent to slow or bring down web servers and halt internet use.

Minister Grace Fu: NTUC's call for broadened family care benefits a step in the 'right direction'
Published on Feb 14, 2014 5:29 PM
The National Trades Union Congress' (NTUC) call for companies to extend family care benefits to all employees with dependents, on top of those with young children, is a step in the right direction, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, Ms Grace Fu, on Friday.
She said: "I think that's the right direction to go because in order for us to meet with the needs of an ageing society and also a slow labour growth scenario, we need to keep people in our workplace as long as possible."
On Thursday, the NTUC issued four new guidelines for companies, which include providing family support schemes and facilities and family care leave to all employees who need to take care of dependents, including elderly relatives.
Ms Fu was speaking at the sidelines of her visit to the OCBC Centre to learn more about the bank's work-life friendly practices.

EXCITING NEWS!! CONSTRUCTION HAS BEGUN! After months of planning and hours of voluntary input by architect Rich Sherman of Appropriate Designs we have contracted with D & W Development to build a commercial kitchen that will have two separate spaces for rent: one for processing and one for baking. There will also be third room for decorating, labeling and food packaging. We are planning on opening in December and will have a very celebratory grand opening (date TBD)!
CLiCK is located at 41 Club Rd, Windham CT, the former Knights of Columbus Building, having purchased the building back in February of this year! This building is 5,600 sq feet, on 2.9 acres on the Natchaug River and has the possibility of a second floor when funding is available. Half of the building will be the two commercial kitchen areas available for rent and the other half will be a teaching kitchen and rental space for cultural events such as cooking classes or other classes, such as computers, yoga, ESL, etc. This space will also be available to rent for parties and other social events. Prices for kitchen rental and other info to be posted in the next month.
In the Spring CLiCK planted a 32 tree orchard and ten blueberry bushes all donated by Pride's Corner and we have even had our first fruit tree harvest. We have put in wood chip paths and invite the community to come and see the apples, peaches, plums and cherries grown! We have also gotten two bee hives and made two model vegetable boxes and have built a labyrinth that is in the back for those seeking a peaceful place.

Central England Temperature - Warmer and windier
Britain is getting warmer and windier - Telegraph
Hilary Benn, the Environment Secretary, is to declare that Britain has warmed significantly in the past 30 years and violent storms are a regular occurrence.
He will unveil a report showing that the annual average temperature in central England has risen by about 1C since the 1970s.
It will also show that 2006 was the warmest year of the past three decades and that average sea surface temperatures around Britain have risen by 0.7C over the same period.
Violent "windstorms" have become more common in the past 20 years, but the level is only as high as it was at the beginning of the last century.
We are lucky that the role of "adjustments" in the record have been comprehensively debated here by a leading "sceptic" and by the expert from the Met Office.
The longer term view was also sent to me thus:
Our own correspondent writes:
The constant mantra is "increasing incidence of extremes", so I also decided to look at temperature frequency and broke the record into basic bands. You can see these results in the charts as well, including seasonal results and in fact the opposite is true, the range of extreme temperatures has narrowed.
The long temperature improvement from the 19th C is apparent, there is no run away warming, we just don't get the desperately cold years of the past As you noted, the lack of low temperature (Tmin), is driving the situation, rather than any run-away top temperatures. This could well be the result of urbanisation as tarmac etc re-radiates heat at night. The station changes may also be significant latterly.

FIFA will not reopen the vote for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, and will publish at least some of the confidential report into the bidding process, president Sepp Blatter said on Friday.
The 78-year-old Blatter, who is seeking a fifth term as president, said the decisions by the FIFA executive committee on Friday will allow the governing body to move on from four years of controversy.
"We have been in a crisis,'' Blatter said. "The crisis has stopped because we again have the unity in our government.''
