Damballa researchers share some techniques for getting a better picture of botnets — and targeted attacks
By Kelly Jackson Higgins
Senior Editor, Dark Reading
Is that malware found on your client machine the sign of a targeted attack or a routine bot-herding run? How do you know for sure?
Botnet hunters from Damballa are using some traditional network monitoring techniques to determine the size and scope of botnets — information that can even help distinguish between a direct attack or a random bot recruitment.
"We are working on ways to better [calculate] the numbers of these botnets with some accuracy,†says Christopher Davis, director of threat analysis for Damballa. Davis and Damballa chief scientist and co-founder David Dagon will discuss their company's botnet research techniques at Black Hat D.C. next week.
Damballa researchers basically reverse-engineer the malware code that arrives at one of their customer's client machines, and then study how it communicates with its command and control (C&C) server. Then, using a DNS cache-inspection technique, combined with tracking the C&C server's IP packet identifier in TCP/IP, they can take more accurate counts of the number of bots, C&C servers, and the potential scope of a particular botnet.
Damballa is basically putting a new spin on some existing techniques. Phishers, for example, have been known to use DNS cache inspection for reconnaissance before staging an exploit on an organization. "Although these techniques have been around and known for a long time, we've never heard of anyone applying them to botnet research,†Davis says.
These methods are useful for bot malware that provides only limited visibility into the botnet's inner workings, such as HTTP-based botnets. An IRC-based botnet — or even Storm, which uses peer-to-peer communications — wouldn't require these techniques because they are more transparent and simpler to track, Davis says.
Learning about the size of the botnet behind a piece of malware can provide some clues as to whether it's a targeted attack or a bot-recruiting run. "You're never able to say 100 percent that this wasn't a targeted attack. But generally, the bad guy isn't likely to have a [targeted] enterprise join a 20,000-member botnet. It's going to be a small one,†Davis says.
With DNS cache inspection, the researchers query regional servers for the "bad†domain. "We can then see if this bad domain has been requested there…it wouldn't be in the cache if no one else had asked for it,†Davis says.
So if an Atlanta-based ISP's DNS server retains the bad guy's domain in its cache, it's likely that users in that area are getting infected, he says. This gets them closer to learning about the range of the bot population.
Then comes the so-called IPID technique. Davis says the researchers can determine how many packets it takes for the malware's update or download, so they can use that count to calculate roughly how many bots there are. IPID basically provides a packet counter they can refer to in each query to the C&C server. "Watching IPID, we can tell when [the C&C server] sends a command or someone downloads the malware from it,†Davis says.
The downside of these methods, however, is that they're relatively "noisy,†Davis says, which could potentially blow the researchers' cover and prompt the bad guys to relocate their servers. So the researchers try to keep a low profile when scanning DNS servers and when sending packets to the botnet C&C servers so their presence isn't detected, he says. The goal is to be able to better determine growth, spread, and shifts in a botnet.

The 30th Anniversary of Tron as it Relates to 2013 Virtualization Predictions - Executive Viewpoint 2013 Prediction: Symantec
I remember as a kid in 1982 when I first saw Disney's Tron on the big screen. Immediately, I was fascinated with computers and the world of virtual environments. Now in 2012, 30 years after Tron was released and now knee-deep in virtualization, I realize that virtualization has definitely become a way of life, even if it is much different than depicted in the film.
In fact, 2012 will likely be known for the year that virtualization came of age. It is now prolific in all sizes and types of businesses, in the public and private sectors and across all industries. As we look into 2013, our attention turns to what is next in the world of virtualization.
Probably the biggest change in virtualization in 2013 is more powerful rivals. They won't be shooting high powered lasers at each other, but the hypervisor market will begin to see a shift in market share between the two largest players. This shift won't necessarily come at the expense of the other, as the virtualization market continues to grow exponentially and there is plenty of room for all to play. And, although they won't become equals, there will be much more competition which will be good for the industry. Increased competition will drive down prices, increase adoption, and subsequently drive both innovations as new customer find new needs and reliability as established customers demand more from virtual environments. More organizations will become 100 percent virtualized, but we'll also see more using multiple hypervisors in both testing and production environments.
The evolution of the server virtualization market (hypervisors) and its increased diversity will also cause specific hypervisor point tools to be ripped out and replaced by platform solutions as IT teams rationalize their areas of focus and the types of service they want to deliver. Backup and disaster recovery (DR) is one area where platforms solutions will reign over point, hyper-visor specific solutions. Backup & recovery platforms support multiple hypervisors, physical and virtual systems, multiple protection & recovery objectives, and of course, diverse storage targets including disk, cloud, and tape.mA single recovery platform helps organizations to be better prepared for down time. Better yet, Symantec research shows that the adoption of server virtualization improves disaster preparedness. No surprise given that you can now test and recover both systems and their data on any hardware both locally or in the cloud. You just need to make sure you can find what you need to recover in a real emergency.
We won't be driving light cycles anytime soon, but virtualization combined with other technologies, such as deduplication are changing IT. Deduplication traditionally viewed as a storage technology, also has network benefits as well. The result is a desire to leverage these network & storage reduction technologies to focus on disaster readiness. Integrated backup appliances will increasingly be viewed as a way to solve both backup and DR challenges because they standardize the use of multiple technologies like source and target deduplication, backup software, replication, snapshots, security and cloud integration into a common platform managed from a central location.

By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: June 29 2011 1:57 PM 0 Philadelphia police Chief Charles Ramsey (blackamericans.com) After a weekend with five people killed and 32 wounded in shootings, Philadelphia police Commissioner Charles Ramsey is worried that more shots may be fired, Fox News Philadelphia reports: In all, there were nine incidents involving gun fire, including shootings at a bar and a city rec center. One gunman at the top of the police department's list of suspects is a man caught on tape after opening fire on a bar crowd in Nicetown. "This was just a blatant disregard for human life. He could have shot and killed eleven people," Ramsay said. "They were all patrons inside, laughing , joking , dancing just having a really good time and this is tragic that this individual just fires randomly into the bar. " The bar shooting came on top of another spree shooting near a rec center at 33rd and Diamond. An earlier fight ended in a brawl and subsequent shooting that left one man dead and three girls, ages 5, 10 and 15 wounded. Police are determining whether this represents the worst span of violence in the country's history. In the obvious statement (or perhaps, understatement) of the week, Ramsey, who says he is now concerned about additional shootings in retaliation, said, "You have to take a look at what's going on in many of our communities. It's a very serious problem we have to address." Read more at Fox News Philadelphia. In other news: Blago Conviction Could Mean Jesse Jackson, Jr. Probe. Like The Root on Facebook.

News: Marines and Australian Soldiers honor ANZAC day together
Story by Cpl. James Gulliver
DARWIN, Northern Territory, Australia – The day is April 25th, 1915. Australian Soldiers climb into patrol boats and head towards a small peninsula on the coast of Turkey, not knowing their actions that day would earn them the title "Knights of Galipoli."
Eleven of the Australian and New Zealand Soldiers that participated in the fighting that day earned the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration awarded for valor in the face of the enemy. More than 10,000 Australian and New Zealand troops lost their lives throughout the Gallipoli Campaign.
More than 90 years later, the people of Darwin, Australia, gather during a Dawn Service to honor ANZAC day, and commemorate those who gave their lives in defense of their country.
"It's really an honor to come out and see how the people here honor their fallen," said Capt. Joshua Schatz, operations officer, Aviation Combat Element, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin. "Listening to everyone talk so highly about the Soldiers that gave up everything for their country is a humbling experience."
Marines with MRF-D participated in Dawn Service with members of 1st Brigade, Australian Army, and then marched in parades in the cities of Palmerston and Darwin.
"The ceremony here is very similar to the ones back home," said Lt. Col. Keven Matthews, commanding officer, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin. "It's always important to take time to remember those who fought for their country."
During the parades, Marines joined every Australian branch of service in formation and proudly marched as crowds of spectators gave a round of applause in their honor.
"We had a really warm welcome by the people of Darwin," said Schatz, a native of New England, N.D. "Everyone loved seeing the Marines out in uniform."
MRF-D Marines expressed enthusiasm for the opportunity to join their allies in the ANZAC day ceremonies, appreciative that they were allowed to stand next to the Australians on one of their most important days.
"We are deeply grateful to the people of Darwin and the Australian Defence Force for allowing us to be here," said Matthews. "It's been an honor to be able to participate in ANZAC day."
As the ceremonies came to a close, silence fell over the monument dedicated to the fallen soldiers, etched with the saying "Lest we forget."

Perry still in the spotlight
By Ken Esten Cooke— From now until the time he leaves office in January 2015, Gov. Rick Perry will be in a spot he clearly loves: Center stage.
In announcing his decision not to seek re-election Monday, the governor was careful not to relinquish the spotlight by keeping the state's political community guessing about whether he will try to seek redemption for his disastrous presidential campaign in 2012.
For the next 18 months, the governor said, his focus would remain on Texas. Perry took office in December 2000, when George W. Bush vacated the governor's office to prepare for his presidency, and won re-election in 2002, 2006 and 2010.
Those winning campaigns have caused his critics no end of consternation but also made Perry one of the strongest governors in the history of the state. The late John Connally is credited with strengthening the constitutionally weak office, but during his long tenure, Perry tightened his grip on the state bureaucracy because his appointees control the agencies and institutions of higher learning. The appointments will lengthen Perry's influence over the way those bureaucracies execute state policy.
Though Perry has presided over his last regular session as governor, he reminded the crowd that he is still in office by noting that he controls the agenda of the current special session "and additional sessions if required."
Though frequently lampooned, Perry has survived on his keen political instincts, his fundraising ability and a ready aptitude for retail politics.
In his announcement remarks, Perry mentioned his appointment of Wallace Jefferson to the Texas Supreme Court, noting that the chief justice is a descendant of a Texas slave. Indeed, Perry's judicial appointments have generally been strong ones — a fact that has attracted little credit. Besides appointing Jefferson, the first African-American chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court, Perry named Eva Guzman to the state's highest civil bench. She is the first Latina to sit on the Supreme Court.
Perry can also brag about the state's robust economy.

Dispatches > The Buzz
- Thirty-three years after rescuing a fellow Marine whose name he still doesn't know, 52-year-old Jim Lockhart of Topeka, Kan., received the military's third highest honor-the Silver Star for "heroic action in combat." His bravery went unnoticed until platoon buddies at a reunion decided he should be honored for what happened on March 2, 1968: Then a 19-year-old private first class, Mr. Lockhart was driving troops to a fortified Vietnamese village when seven bullets punctured his leg. Instead of turning back, he incurred more wounds to drag another seriously injured Marine to safety and then refused medical treatment until others were helped. "That's the kind of person he is," said his eldest son, 23-year-old Jason Lockhart. "He was a hero to me long before they pinned a medal on his chest."
- Jeannie Jaybush's efforts to reduce Seattle's infant mortality rate had humble beginnings: A baby crib placed behind an old church communion railing where, each Sunday, church members dropped off one or two cans of baby food. Twelve years later, the crib has become a full-fledged organization called the Baby Corner that distributes over $1 million worth of baby supplies annually. "It's sort of like the five loaves and fishes," said Mrs. Jaybush. "Only we started with two cans of formula and three diapers."

What things do you do regularly in terms of maintenance for your commuter bike? How often?
I just bought a new bike specifically for commuting and errands, and want to try to keep it in good shape, but must confess, I'm terrible with bike maintenance, and pretty lazy about even basic cleaning. The grease on the chain and cassette of my road bike would appall most riders. Hoping to make a fresh start with the new ride, and looking for some advice.
I don't really know how to care for a bike and I don't know much about making adjustments to brakes, shifters, or derailleurs. Am I supposed to wipe off the chain and re-lube after every ride? Anything special required for a steel frame? What products do you use to clean the chain and cassette? Are those chain cleaner contraptions useful? Anything else I should do routinely?

I've already written about how the men who patronized Club Paradox tended towards exhibitionism, but none wanted to be watched more than the man we called 'The Masturbator." Almost all the men jerked off as they watched us–that was, as I understand it, the main appeal of the private booth setup of the club–but none did so with such a bizarre mixture of shame and enthusiasm as the Masturbator.
The Masturbator was a very large very well-dressed man of late middle years who bore a distinct resemblance to Fatty Arbuckle and made an appearance at the peep show every one to two weeks. He almost always visited on Wednesdays and usually showed up between the hours of ten and eleven at night. Part of the regularity of his routine seemed to stem from his infatuation with Patty, our beloved front desk worker, house mom, and manager. There were other front desk workers, such as the woman who hired me, but they changed regularly, and none of them were as dear to our hearts as Patty. But we weren't the only ones who loved her.
Despite the fact that she was much older and much more clothed than any of us, customers were constantly trying to wheedle her into getting into one of the booths and giving them a show, but none were as persistent as the Masturbator. Every time he visited, he would spend at least half an hour trying to talk Patty into a show, waving money in her face, telling her all about his jerk-off routine, and asking her lots of presumptuous questions about her self-love habits. Every time the Masturbator visited, Patty would tell him that she didn't dance, that no amount of money could convince her to dance, and that what she did when she was alone was none of anyone's business. When he finally gave up he would select one of the girls from the slideshow picture frames that were displayed in the lobby, purchase time in the 'windowless' room, and the fun would start.

Plea for return of plundered plaque (From This Is Wiltshire)
Plea for return of plundered plaque
5:30am Wednesday 5th March 2014 in By Beren Cross, @BerenCross
AN appeal has been made by Noel Ponting for the return of a 95-year-old plaque dedicated to the career of his great grandfather, the first headmaster of Even Swindon School.
The plaque, which is believed to be made of stone quarried from Old Town Gardens in the early part of the 20th century, was attached to a wall inside the school which used to stand in Hughes Street.
The former school, which had stood vacant since February 2013 after being gutted by a major fire, was pulled down by Swindon Council in December, though not before thieves broke into the building and stole the plaque.
The memorial is not valuable, and holds only sentimental worth to Noel and his family, who said whoever broke in had the right tools for the job.
Henry Day, Noel's great-grandfather, above, was headmaster at Even between 1880 and 1919. It was in his final year that he was presented with the token which celebrated his time at the school.
Estimates from the council put the timeframe for the burglary between mid-November and early-December, although it was not reported to police until January of this year, which left Noel a little confused.
"It was an old school left empty for so long because of asbestos," said Noel, 55. "They're saying health and safety is very rigid in these instances. Whilst Swindon Council's heart is in the right place, and I appreciate they have to play by the rules, you just wish they could've got on and done it.
"The council got in touch with the police, but only at my behest. The council does have questions to answer about the way they have acted here. I am loathe to be critical because they are a big organisation with limited resources, but if they could have just got it done and got it out we wouldn't be having this conversation.
"We have got to wonder how a thief got in and was able to prise the plaque off the wall. One has concerns it may have been damaged in the process."
Noel said there are various outlets for this type of artefact, including the architectural reclamation and antique trades.
He hopes publicity of the plaque's theft will limit those the thief can shift the plaque on to.
The plaque reads: "Erected by old scholars on the retirement of Mr H. Day. The first head master of this school 1880 – 1919. As evidence of appreciation of his meritorious services."
A Swindon Council spokesman said: "We were keen to recover the plaque for the family of Mr Day, but we were ultimately held up by the need to remove the asbestos from the building to enable the monumental mason to safely remove the stone.
"We were able to re-enter the building on December 2 following the removal of the asbestos and, unfortunately, discovered that the plaque had been stolen."

My daughter and I have been wearing your Bermuda socks for many years. I'd love to find packs of one color because I don't use all the colors that are in the combined packs. We need brown, denim, black and khaki, and not the other colors.
Please tell me how to find packs of one color in each.

Posted by Debbie in Michigan on 9th Feb 2013
These are my favorite style socks with the cotton content my feet prefer. BUT, please let me purchase BROWN socks either individually or in 3 pair packs without requiring me to purchase tan and off white. I have a drawer full of tan socks I don't wear but the brown are in short supply!
Posted by PK on 23rd Nov 2012
Please bring back size 10-13! I stock up on Gold Toe socks a few times a year, but now you've done away with my size. Please bring them back!
Please check this link or search Bermuda Plus http://www.goldtoe.com/products/BERMUDA-PLUS.html
Posted by Louise on 29th Oct 2012
I would snatch up several three packs of the demim color, but the only size in the drop-down menu is 6-9. Are these discontinued or will 9-11 be coming back?
You'll find size 8-13 under WOMEN'S SOCKS >STYLE > EXTENDED
Posted by Jean on 9th Oct 2012
I too used to buy your socks, size 10-13. I love them, but 9-11 do not fit me...please bring back the larger size!!

Posted by Jan Brown on 30th Aug 2012
The last time I bought these socks I ordered size 10 - 12. Now the only size available is 9 - 11; too small for my feet! Judging from other recent reviews, I'd say you don't much like your customers. Just going for the bottom line profits?
Posted by Gaylene on 16th Jun 2012
I have a question: I would like to buy a chocolate brown color in the Bermuda sock. I have shopped at Kohl's and Penny's and all I can find is a three pack with one chocolate brown, one cream color and one very light brown. I don't want to buy these as I only want chocolate brown. Will you please make a three pack with all the same color in chocolate brown like you do white and black--I would snatch them up in a minute!!!
Posted by LInda on 30th Apr 2012
I have purchased Gold Toe Bermuda socks for 10 years. The past 4 years every pair I buy has a bunchy seam above the toes. Of course this rubs when you put your shoes on. I really like the Bermuda Gold Toe but now I am going to shop for another brand unless I can get an answer.

May 22, 2007 (rain make-up)
ML Game 31
Moppert 5
Carmen 4
Game 31 (completion of suspended game)
Moppert 8, Hagen 5
In was most assuredly the longest game of the year, going 10 innings and 10 days, Moppert finally won this battle of attrition. While the details of the first 7 innings are kind of a distant memory the scorebook shows that Hagan led 5-2 after 3 innings and Moppert tied it in the 4th inning on 3 hits and walk including a leadoff HR by Mike Roberts. The last 3 innings were scoreless behind the superb pitching of Hunter Tierney for Hagan and Kevin Dougherty for Moppert.
Part 2 of the battle featured 2 more top pitchers in Johnny Owens (Hagan) and Kevin Bosco (Moppert). These two made the 8th and 9th innings pretty uneventful but the 10th was anything but…Pete Mamola began the 10th inning for Moppert with a HBP. One out later Alex Rehoric worked a base on balls. Tim Quinn then followed with a clutch single driving in the go ahead run. Kevin Bosco then followed with a bloop single to right scoring 2 more runs. Down 3 Hagan would not go down quietly. With 1 out Bosco yielded consecutive walks. One out later Kyle Tomasino rippled a single to left but the runner from 2nd base was unable to score as Alex Rehoric fielded the hit and fired it into home.
Moppert: Bosco - 52
Hagan's: Owens - ???

UC IPM Home > Homes, Gardens, Landscapes, and Turf > Trees and Shrubs > Diseases
Bacterial blight damage varies depending on the host plant and strain of Pseudomonas syringae
involved. On some species, such as California bay and English laurel, injury is normally confined to leaves,
causing a leaf blight. Leaf blights cause small black angular spots; large, irregular, brown spots form
on leaves. Blossom and tip dieback, vein blackening, leaf spots, or stem cankers are common symptoms on
oleander, pine, and poplar. On flowering fruit trees, brown to black lesions on the flowers, fruits, and
stems form; branch cankers and brown streaks in the wood may also occur. On other hosts, elongated lesions
may appear on twigs and infected tissue may ooze during wet weather. Trees may have gum deposits. Bacterial blight is promoted by prolonged
rainy springs. Symptoms may be more extensive in wetter areas.
Identification | Life
Prune branches showing dieback and severe blight. Space plants
to provide good air circulation. Prune
during the dry season when infection is less likely to occur.
Do not wet foliage with overhead irrigation; do not overfertilize.
Small plants can be protected to some degree by keeping them
covered by plastic
(or moved under plastic). Plant resistant
species if available. If the
disease is systemic or cankers appear on the trunk, the tree
will probably die and should be removed. If the disease is
confined to leaves, damage is not usually serious and trees
normally recover. Sprays do not give reliable control.

Summary:Eight French Christian monks live in harmony with their Muslim brothers in a monastery perched in the mountains of North Africa in the 1990s. When a crew of foreign workers is massacred by an Islamic fundamentalist group, fear sweeps though the region. The army offers them protection, but the monks refuse. Should they leave? Despite the growing menace in their midst, they slowly realize that they have no choice but to stay come what may. This film is loosely based on the life of the Cistercian monks of Tibhirine in Algeria, from 1993 until their kidnapping in 1996.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich
says he's "blacker than Barack Obama."
In an interview for Esquire magazine, Blagojevich says he grew
up in a small apartment, shined shoes as a boy and that his father ran a laundromat in a black neighborhood.
Blagojevich also says Obama was elected based simply on hope.
He talked to the magazine for its February issue, which hits
newsstands Jan. 19.
The White House refused to comment.
Blagojevich was impeached and removed from office last year
after being arrested on corruption charges that included trying to sell Obama's old U.S. Senate seat. He's pleaded not guilty.

How to Straighten Hair with Heat Protection Spray
This article will show you how to get your hair dead straight.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Take a small section of hair and spray it with heat protection spray. Completely soak it. Make sure not to accidentally spray another area already straightened.
2Be careful not to burn your hands. Clamp the straightener on the section of hair and glide downwards moderately slowly. Do this twice, don't freak out if the iron sizzles. It's best to make sure your straightener is compatible with wet and dry hair.
3Do the same thing again, only really slowly.
4Repeat #2 only do it 3 times.
5On the seventh stroke focus mostly on the ends. When you reach the bottom tip of your hair...STOP! Hold the iron there for about half a minute and then release. Wait a minute, then repeat #2 but do it once only. You should complete a total of 8 strokes on each piece of hair. Piece 3= slow, piece 7= focus on ends. The rest of the strokes should be normal.
6Put a tiny amount of sealing serum on the piece of hair and another small amount on the ends.
7Comb, not brush, the piece of hair and straighten that piece one more time.
8Repeat #'s 1-7 on the rest of hair. Remember to take reasonably sized sections of hair that will allow all hairs to be in contact with the flat iron, this is why the spray is VERY important as not to damage hair nearly as much.
9You must be patient this can take up to an hour or so...plan ahead, it may take longer.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Herbal Essence: Dangerously Straight and Sunsilk (the purple bottles) work great.
- If you must, tilt your head to the side so you know that you are pulling the hair straight down.
- When you are completely done, smooth hair with a dime sized amount of sealing serum, you can also spray a tiny, tiny amount of perfume into your palm and smooth it over your scalp and roots.
- You need to have protective spray or serum.
- Let the flat iron cool before storing.
- Remember to turn off the straightener when done.
- Be careful not to burn your hands when touching hair, you can use a potholder to protect your hands.
- Make sure you rest the straightener on something that won't melt or catch fire, like an uncoated metal rack or basket, the counter will most likely melt.
Things You'll Need
- Flat iron
- Clips
- Wide-tooth comb/Pick
- Sealing serum
- Heat protection spray/serum

Kevin Foster scored a career-high 16 points and Kevin Olekaibe had 15 for Fresno State.
Steven Shepp added 15 points and eight assists for the Bulldogs (4-4), who shot 58.2 percent from the floor to register their most lopsided victory of the season.

Now, the old way was to have cron edit /etc/aliases every hour, but I don't like the idea of messing with zmprov in that way.
Has anyone else done this or have any suggestions or theories that I can research? Bonus points if the department manager can update the schedule.

|James Bond 007 announced as MMHF Legacy Event theme
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
By Brenda Johnson Brandt
James Bond 007, a spy theme, has been announced for the 2015 Melissa Memorial Hospital Foundation Legacy Event.
This fifth annual event returns to the February schedule this year, as it is planned for Saturday, Feb. 28, at Phillips County Event Center.
Building on the success of the past years' Mardi Gras theme, Western Splendor, Roaring '20s and Run for the Roses, the Legacy Event committee anticipates another fun evening of support for the local hospital.
Of special note this year is the fact that it's the 20th anniversary of the hospital foundation.
Co-chair Kim Young said they try to keep the Legacy Event theme different each year to keep people guessing as to what it might be. A little element of surprise that's unique to each year's particular theme is thrown in for fun, as well.

Work on Minersville Area Skate Park complete
MINERSVILLE — Construction of the Minersville Area Skate Park has been completed and it will be open to the public sometime this fall.
The Minersville Area Skate Park Association is awaiting insurance to open the park, Bobbie Domlesky, the association secretary, said.
"The insurance situation is not good at this point," she said at the association's meeting Monday.
Domlesky said they were having difficulty getting a quote from insurance companies.
Upon opening day, construction crews will return to the site to polish it up and remove forms from the ramps.
The association discussed a possible list of rules to be posted on the site. They would be on a sign donated by Dutcavich Funeral Home.
Rules discussed to likely be posted include: Ride at your own risk; safety equipment required; no tobacco, drugs, or alcohol; hours from dawn to dusk; skate respectfully; acts of vandalism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law; the park will be closed during inclement weather; and no trespassing when the park is closed.
The association will be attending the 19th annual Minersville Spirit Day on Sept. 7 with glitter tattoos and a bean bag toss game as well as baskets to raffle off, according to Frannie Mickey, the association treasurer.
Baskets will be raffled off at 3 p.m. Sept. 14 at the Good Will Fire Company. Last-minute ticket sales will be held from noon until 3 p.m. Baskets are valued from $25 to more than $500 and include donations from Weis Markets, Subway, Lowe's, Ken's Tire, Palermos and Disney with one-day hopper passes.
In other business, the association has about $6,254 in its bank account and about $276 in cash for a total of $6,531.16.
The association received $3,036.96 in the past month from donations, dues and fundraisers.
Expenditures for the month were mostly for buying concrete, for a total of $16,134.78.

text: While this clip does go into some of the technical side of creating a game for 256 simultaneous players at once, the main thing it does is talk about how awesome it is going to be, and how big of a leap the 256 player mark really is. I think we've established that already though, haven't we? Until I am actually in the middle of a firefight with 255 other people around me, the game still remains a pretty yet slightly above average shooter.

The Lady Badgers Varsity Basketball team returns seven all-district selections and hopes to capitalize on that experience and a fast-paced running game as it faces a tougher, taller district this season.
"Hopefully our up-tempo running-game-style will wear down opponents," Coach Burke Braun said. "We don't have any 6-foot tall girls, but we have speed, ability, court sense and a winning attitude. I'll take that over height any day."
The girls began after school practices last week, upon the close of volleyball season, and had their first scrimmage against Mathis Saturday. Their first regular season game is Nov. 6 here at home against Jourdanton, beginning with JV at 5 p.m. and followed by varsity at 6:30 p.m.
"It will be an exciting, great year for the Lady Badger Basketball program if we keep healthy, focused and drama-free," Coach Braun said. "Many things will stay the same. I have added a few new plays to our complex offenses, defenses, presses, etc."
Ultimately, the Lady Badgers' goal involves advancing to the playoffs -- at least the Regional tournament or better. Last year, the girls were Area champs and made it to the quarterfinal game, where they lost to Marion.
"We are coming back with a lot of experience, which should help us get to where we want to be: Playoffs," junior Kayla Ramirez said. "Determination is key -- working hard and getting better every day."
District 28-2A includes Poth, Schulenburg, Hallettsville, Nixon-Smiley, Stockdale and Luling.
"Basketball district teams are even tougher than the volleyball district," Coach Braun noted. "Every team made it to the playoffs last year with five out of the seven going three games or more in the playoffs. It's a very strong district, but I know our team can compete strongly against any of their foes. There will be a lot of close games and upsets each week. Poth and Schulenburg will probably be the strongest."
Like the Lady Badgers, each team returns experienced players, Coach Braun added.
Height on the Lady Badgers' team comes from senior Lani Pitts, a 1st-team All-District selection, and sophomore Morgan Kelley, who as a freshman last year earned Honorable Mention. Quickness will include senior Aileen Lunquist, who made the All-Region team, and Ramirez, a 1st-team All-District selection. Seniors 1st-team All-District selection Courtney Piepryzca and 2nd-Team selection Jonie Reyes, along with Honorable Mention Khadeshia Hopkins, will add hustle and play-making abilities too. Other returning varsity players include senior Tiffany Cano and juniors Katy Gotthardt, Kortney Witte and Mariah Villareal.
"It's going to be a lot tougher," Pitts said. "The teams are going to be a lot bigger, but we have to push ourselves harder and want it. Dedication."

- - Kofi on the Miz TV segment (http://www.wrestlingforum.com/wwe-raw-smackdown/642263-kofi-miz-tv-segment.html)
Kofi on the Miz TV segment
Now I realize that Kofi isn't exactly all that liked around here due to his lack of mic skills and gimmick, but did anyone think he did pretty good on his mic time in the Miz Tv segment? Seems like since they've been giving him mic time he's starting to get more comfortable and find some personality
Re: Kofi on the Miz TV segment
No, I don't think he showed any personality or a defined or remarkable character. I think he doesn't stand out on the mic despite I believe he can talk.
Re: Kofi on the Miz TV segment
I think he did alright, he didn't have much to work with but he did what he had to do well enough, and he got a decent response from the crowd (not sure how much was edited in but the crowd behind seemed reasonably into it)
Re: Kofi on the Miz TV segment
He did fine for the little mic time he got. Good delivery.
Re: Kofi on the Miz TV segment
He's been pretty good on the mic for years actually, just look back to his feud with Orton late 2009.
Re: Kofi on the Miz TV segment
I thought he was pretty good, actually. Sure, he wasn't The Rock, but the guy definitely has mic skills.
Re: Kofi on the Miz TV segment
he knows how to deliver a promo with what he's given. Also he cuts great promos when they give him more emotional stuff to work with, like how no one believes he can be a main eventer, he is too nice, etc.
Re: Kofi on the Miz TV segment
Kofi is solid on the mic but a lot of people exaggerate how mediocre he is. Some people even claim that he's awful which just isn't true.
Re: Kofi on the Miz TV segment
Didn't like the material but it was alright.
Re: Kofi on the Miz TV segment
He did a good job. I just started watching WWE three months ago after a 10 year hiatus and I was pleasantly surprised based on what some have said about his mic skills.

Set Mining in PokerMay 3, 2010 on 5:12 am | In Pokkercards.com | No Comments
Set mining can be incredibly profitable if done right. One of the biggest misconceptions in poker, particularly online, is that the path to success begins with set mining. This is completely incorrect, however, because set mining can surely be profitable, but it can also be a great way to lose money. Most poker players don't know how to properly determine when is and isn't a good time to set mine and as a result they will often find themselves investing way too much money in situations where there expected returns are low. Look at it this way, would you pay $10 to win $100 if your odds were 1:20?
Of course not, you would have to have a payout of over $200 for this to be profitable. Unfortunately what set miners will often do is take these poor odds with the hope of hitting an occasional big payout. Sure there will be times that you get lucky and a poor play will be rewarded, but no winning poker player sits down at a table with this mindset. Proper set mining requires that players be able to properly examine multiple variables in a hand to decide whether or not they want to take part. Flopping a set is a proven way to make a ton of money in poker, but if you only get paid off once in a blue moon it will turn into a proven way to lose money.
Proper Set Mining
Proper set mining is relatively easy to master. If you can take a look around at the table and weigh a handful of factors you will be able to determine whether or not you are in an ideal set mining situation. One important factor when set mining is your opponent's tendencies. If the player(s) you are considering set mining against are extremely spastic and loose there is a good chance that you will get paid off if you hit. If the player(s) you want to set mine against are very tight, however, you will have an incredibly difficult time getting paid off. Set mining serves no use if there is no potential payoff so you are best off abandoning the play against tight players.
The second variable to consider when set mining is your position. If you will be forced to play the hand out of position you will be at a disadvantage because you will have to try and squeeze the value out of your hand on your own. This means that you will need to decide what your opponent will do before they do it. If you play in position, however, you will be able to see what the other player does and then react more appropriately. It is easier to base your actions off of other's actions than it is to do something without much clue as to how someone will react.
The third and perhaps most important consideration when set mining are your pot odds. As mentioned in the example above, you will need to be getting the proper odds on order to set mine effectively. If you will hit your set (and get paid off, this part is important) 1:15 times but are given the option of calling for 4/5 of the pot, you will be burning money at a rapid pace.
