ST. LOUIS - For the third consecutive year, the University of San Diego has been picked to win the Pioneer Football League regular-season race in a preseason vote of the league's coaches.
The PFL will announce its preseason All-PFL teams, Wednesday, followed by a preseason coaches teleconference, Thursday.
The upcoming 2014 season marks the 22nd year for the Pioneer Football League - the nation's only non-scholarship, football-only NCAA Football Championship Subdivision conference. The league will feature 11 teams each playing an eight-game schedule to determine the league champion and recipient of the automatic bid to the 2014 NCAA FCS Championship.
Last season, the PFL race ended with Butler and Marist each claiming a share of the league title with 7-1 records, Butler earning the league's automatic bid due to a tiebreaker. Another close race is forecast in 2014 with four teams claiming at least one first-place votes and the top three teams separated by 10 points.
San Diego received five of a possible 10 first-place votes and 90 of a maximum 100 points as coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team in the poll. Dayton was ranked second with 82 points despite not receiving a first-place vote. Jacksonville received three first-place votes and was ranked third with 80 points. Butler rounds out the league's top four with two first-place votes and 77 points.
Drake picked up one first-place vote and was picked fifth with 73 total points. Marist, a league co-champion just eight months ago, fell to sixth in the preseason poll with 61 points.
Campbell (7th, 38 points), Morehead State (8th, 35), Stetson (9th, 30), Davidson (10th, 20) and Valparaiso (11th, 19) round out the league's 11-team poll.
San Diego head coach Dale Lindsey begins his second year at the reins with big questions on both sides of the ball. The Torreos return just 12 starters from last season's team - six on offense, four on defense and two special teams players. San Diego lost quarterback Mason Mills, the 2013 PFL Offensive Player of the Year, along with two other first-team All-PFL picks: running back Joe Ferguson and defensive end Steve Gargiulo. Still, San Diego returns a veteran receiving corps led by Reggie Bell (65 receptions, 1,050 yards, 9 touchdowns), a First-Team All-PFL pick, and Brandon White (47 receptions, 590 yards, 12 touchdowns). Defensively, San Diego will lean on a deep secondary that includes each of its four returning starters on that unit, including defensive backs Jamal Agnew (46 tackles, 7 passes defensed) and Matt Miller (90 tackles, 2 fumbles forced).
Dayton has posted back-to-back 5-3 conference marks, finishing tied for fourth in last season's race. Flyers head coach Rick Chamberlin will seek to take a step forward in the league ranks in 2014 with 13 returning starters. Dayton will see quarterback Will Bardo (2,434 yards total offense, 22 touchdowns responsible for) return for his fourth campaign as starting quarterback. The Flyers backfield also will be bolstered by the return of running back Connor Kacsor (966 yards, 10 TDs), who is the PFL's leading returning rusher. The Dayton defense will be led by defensive end Pat Dowd (37 tackles, 11½ sacks) and linebacker Christopher Beaschler (83 tackles).
Jacksonville battled through another injury-filled campaign and finished with a 4-4 league mark last season. Head coach Kerwin Bell enters his eighth season with an all-new Milne Field hopefully a sign of the program's future direction. The preseason focus has been on wide receiver Andrew Robustelli (51 receptions, 1,063 yards and 11 TDs), who has been named to both The Sports Network's Preseason All-America squad and the College Football Performance Awards Preseason Watch List. The Dolphins defense will be anchored by lineman Maroa White (55 tackles, 9 sacks), who will be backed up by linebacker Mike Klein (76 tackles).
What a difference eight months will make for co-defending champion Butler, which returns just nine starters from last season's squad that finished 7-1 in the league earned the first PFL automatic bid into the NCAA FCS Championship. The Bulldogs defensive line claims three of those returnees with Glen Somers (34 tackles, 5 tackles for loss), Kyle Annis (34 tackles, 5 TFL) and Christian Eble (21 tackles) each returning to anchor the unit. The Butler offensive line claims another three returnees with Greg Ambrose, David Tiwari and Michael Demos leading a unit that surrendered a PFL-low 13 sacks in 13 games.
Drake's three-loss PFL campaign was its worst outing since 2008, but at 5-3 it still finished tied for fourth in the league race. First-year head coach Rick Fox takes over after six seasons as an assistant coach with the Bulldogs. Linebacker John Hugunin (113 tackles, 11 TFL) returns after sharing the league lead in tackles en route to First-Team All-PFL honors last season. Offensively, Drake will see Eric Saubert (47 receptions, 549 yards) a First-Team All-PFL tight end as the team's leading receiver after the departure of Nick Rosa. In addition, Bulldogs punter Cam Bohnert (50 punts, 39.8 yards per punt) returns to Des Moines after earning First-Team All-PFL accolades as a sophomore.
Marist, which posted a 7-1 league mark and claimed a share of its first PFL title last season, also will have plenty of questions to answer as the season progresses. Head coach Jim Parady will begin his 23rd season with a few answers in hand. Linebacker Paul Sakowski (62 tackles, 6 TFL) returns after a First-Team All-PFL performance last season and will anchor the Red Foxes' defense. Running back Atiq Lucas (166 carries, 798 yards, 11 touchdowns) and wide receiver Armani Martin (45 receptions, 770 yards, 12 touchdowns) return to guide an offensive unit which will be helmed by a new quarterback for the first time since late 2011.
Campbell enters 2014 with most of its questions on offense after posting a 2-6 mark last season. Second-year head coach Mike Minter lost his top two leaders in rushing, passing and receiving at the end of 2013. In their place, the Camels return their third-leading rusher - DeShawn Jones (62 carries, 517 yards) - and third-leading receiver - Ben Bolling (31 receptions, 489 yards, 5 TDs). Defensively, Campbell will have fewer concerns with each of its top five tacklers returning, including lineman Ugonna Awuruonye (44 tackles, 14 TFL) and linebacker Matt Farris (77 tackles, 4½ TFL), who were each honorable mention All-PFL picks last season.
Morehead State, battled to a 3-5 mark in 2013 as rookie quarterback Austin Gahafer (2,430 yards passing, 13 TDs) learned the ropes. Rob Tenyer will return the bulk of his offensive unit for his second campaign leading the Eagles. Gahafer returns as does Morehead State's leading rusher Rees Macshara (131 carries, 534 yards) and leading receiver Jake Raymond (56 receptions, 644 yards). The Eagles final standing in 2014 may well lie in the development of a defensive unit that sees just three of its top six tacklers returning and will be led by safety Michael Jackson (72 tackles, 10 passes defensed).
What does Year Two hold for Stetson and head coach Roger Hughes? The Hatters picked up a conference win in their inaugural season and put a scare into more than one PFL foe. Defensive back Donald Payne took the PFL by storm in his rookie year, finishing the campaign as a co-leader in tackles and ranking second in tackles for loss. On the offensive side, quarterback Ryan Tentler (2,149 total offensive yards and 15 TDs responsible for) returns after leading the team in passing and rushing last season.
Davidson soldiered through a winless PFL campaign in 2013 and second-year head coach Paul Nichols looks ahead to a 2014 that will see someone besides Jonathan Carkhuff at quarterback, a position he held the past four years. Running backs Robert Klein (113 carries, 439 yards) and David Rogers (66 carries, 373 yards in 5 games) return to lead the backfield while William Morris (67 receptions, 1,090 yards, 5 TDs) will captain the wideouts. Defensively, the two Casey's- both linebackers but unrelated Matt and Dan - return to hold down the fort again. Matt Casey (106 tackles) finished the season fourth among PFL tacklers while Dan Casey (66 tackles, 10 TFL, 4 sacks) was eighth in tackles for loss.
Valparaiso will enter 2014 with head coach Dave Cecchini in his first year as head coach after the Crusaders picked up one win against the league's toughest schedule last season (they faced each of the top five teams). Valparaiso will also be under new leadership at quarterback this season, but will return running back Brandon Hall (89 carries, 365 yards) and wide receiver Tanner Kuramata (879 yards, 8 TDs, 56 receptions) - the leading rusher and receiver on last year's squad. Defensively, linebacker Alex Green (110 tackles, 4½ TFL) returns after ranking third among PFL tacklers last season.
Three PFL squads will kickoff the 2014 campaign on opening day, Thursday, August 28, followed by five other teams kicking off Saturday. Butler, Dayton and San Diego will each wait to open their respective 2014 marches in Week 2, Sept. 6. The 22nd season of PFL regular-season action gets underway in Jacksonville, Florida for a second consecutive year, when San Diego meets Jacksonville in a Saturday, Sept. 13 contest.

It's the New Year! If you're already despairing about resolutions, keep in mind that making small changes in behavior that fit easily into your lifestyle are good options for family health and weight loss over time. For one month, try choosing three small habits to focus on changing that you can apply to any situation, whether you're at home, overseas, or travelling. Try setting up email or calendar reminders if that helps you, or put up tangible reminders such as sticky notes around your house. To get you started, here are some ideas:
- Keep unhealthy foods such as potato chips, cookies, etc. out of sight so they are less tempting.
- Put down your fork and knife between bites.
- Portion out "snackable" foods that come in large bags/containers into smaller one-serving containers, so you don't keep dipping in.
- Choose water over soda.
- Keep fresh fruit on hand to replace fatty, high-calorie snacks.
For more help, Military OneSource has a Health and Wellness Coaching Program that can help you lose weight and improve your overall fitness. Finally, for more information on making healthy food choices for you and your family, visit HPRC's Family Nutrition section.

— September 2004
By Diane M. Byrne
Hot Topics
When IrishBliss asked why television stations in Lisbon, Portugal, were reporting about Roman Abramovich's yachts Pelorus and Le Grand Bleu, MichaelaB replied that it was because the soccer team Abramovich owns, Chelsea Football Club, was competing in the Euro 2004 games and that "megayachts like that are a rare site in Portugal." And when Margaret discovered a link to a New York Post article talking about a 200-footer Goygpus supposedly owned by Microsoft's Bill Gates, Alan Warner figured that the yacht Gates really had been aboard was the 414-foot Octopus. And Schibbelfitz replied, "Well, [Bill Gates] doesn't brag about his money, and there are—even if it is VERY HARD to understand—some people in this world that don't go totally crazy about yachts like WE do!"
At this point I should probably mention that all these conversations occurred while IrishBliss remained in her home in Ireland, MichaelaB was in Portugal, Margaret and Alan Warner stayed in their respective homes in England, and Schibbelfitz relaxed in his home in Germany. And that none of them had ever met.
This is what's been going on in the Megayachts forum at powerandmotoryacht.zeroforum.com since January. Yacht-watchers from across the United States, as well as from Sweden, Beligum, the Netherlands, England, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates, just to name a few countries, have been logging on to trade information, ask questions, and generally share their admiration of these yachts.
As you'd expect, the most popular discussions (called threads) involve the world's largest yachts. For example, in mid-July the Pelorus thread already had 106 postings and had been viewed more than 13,000 times. The Octopus thread had similar activity: 75 postings and more than 17,000 views. And even though Rising Sun hasn't been delivered yet, the 69 postings, as of this writing, have been viewed nearly 7,000 times.
While much of the discussions involve where the yachts have been seen and questions about some of their features, other discussions involve truly educational lessons. For example, forum member AndyLindy started a discussion about the newly effective ILO/IMO Code of Practice, which requires port authorities around the world to assess their security measures and take steps to protect the ports, particularly from terrorists. He and other members wondered if these new rules would mean that ports long popular with the general yacht-watching public would suddenly become fenced in or otherwise off-limits to them. The thread caught the attention of member Laurent, who runs the ports of Nice, Cannes, Villefranche, and Golfe-Juan along the French Riviera. He put the fears to rest, explaining that extreme measures would not be required. "No one wants to see their ports turning into a military base; that would ruin the very economy they are trying to protect," he wrote.
AndyLindy also started a discussion on life-saving equipment. As I write this on July 14, it has been viewed 248 times—and Andy only posted it yesterday.
The ability to share information like this and learn a thing or two has made the Megayachts forum the most-visited online site devoted to the topic.
And speaking of the topic, starting in October we'll be adding a regular section to this column called "Hot Topics," to update you on what's being discussed on the forum.
In the meantime, I invite you to register as a user, join the discussions, and even start some of your own.

From the beginners:Is not this something be wrong? gedit /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bt : -|
and then aptitude autoclean..
This will wipe all .deb packages dowloaded and installed in your system. IT will keep growing so you need to clean it every once in a while. Use aptitude instead of apt-get..It is more powerfull.
Then: aptitude update
Hope it helps..
From the beginners:Is not this something be wrong? gedit /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bt : -|
Some answers for the above scenarios:
1. If apt-get says it fails to connect to the repository but nslookup is working:
1.1: Nslookup doesn't tell you if the domain is up, only what ip the domain has, it sends its query to the DNS server, no to the domain.
1.2: Most likely you use a proxy. In my experience, apt-get doesn't honor http_proxy envirorment variable.
You have to write folowing settings in /etc/apt/apt.conf
Code:Aqcuire::Http::Proxy "yourproxy:port"
2. If apt-get says it fails to auhtenticate the packages it downloaded:
2.1: The gpg key from the repository could have an expiration date. I didn't check if it's true for the backtrack repository.
To check it, type to the terminal:Most likely your system date and time is wrong. Check your system date&time.Code:gpg --list-keys

For today's businesses, information technology is integrated into the enterprise and not just bolted on, meaning IT organizations have to be integrated into the enterprise as well.
This seemingly simple idea can't be achieved without a healthy relationship between IT and the rest of the business, which begins with establishing an appropriate relationship model and ensuring positive interactions between every IT employee and everyone else in the company.
[ Get Bob Lewis's continuing IT management wisdom in his Advice Line blog and newsletter. | Find out why running IT as a business is a train wreck waiting to happen. ]
For many companies, those interactions can often be anything but healthy. The question is why: Is it a clash of personality types, a clash of cultures, or both?
The mathematics of personality conflict, part two
Last week's analysis concluded that culture clash was the more important factor, but it depended on some back-of-the-envelope calculations. It also suggested that only half of all interactions between IT and business staff are between IT "geeks" and business "non-geeks," but that just about all of the interactions were between IT-geek culture and non-IT/non-geek culture. Culture, far more than personality friction, is the most likely explanation of why relations between IT and the rest of the business are so often dysfunctional.
We can now throw out the envelope. Gang-of-16 member Heather Gollnow tracked down some research that provides actual numbers: "Personality types in software engineering," International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, Volume 58 Issue 2, by Luiz Fernando Capretz, 2/2003, and based on the well-known Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
It turns out that last week's estimate wasn't too far off. According to Capretz's research, which compared a sample of 100 software engineers to standard published numbers for the population as a whole, almost exactly two thirds of all IT professionals conform to MBTI personality types appropriate to IT careers, while the same proportion of non-IT staff conform to non-IT personality types.
Which means that about 45 percent of all interactions between IT and business staff are between IT geeks and non-IT non-geeks -- a bit less than my estimate last week, but close enough that the conclusion doesn't change.
So again, when seeking to establish productive business/IT relations, the focus should be on culture, not personality.
Dealing with culture clashes
Now that we've identified the problem, "all" we have to do to mitigate the effects of culture clash between business and IT is to solve everything that causes it: Conflicting specialized vocabularies, hidden assumptions, patterns of thinking, expectations of how people are supposed to react to typical situations, and especially the us-vs.-them tribalism.
Of course, this challenge exists at all levels of management both inside and outside IT.
Start with the CIO. Think back to an article that first appeared sometime in the 1980s and has since been re-published over and over again under different bylines and with only minor changes to the text, titled, "CIOs need to know about the business." Of course they do. And a critical part of understanding the business is understanding the business culture.
It's a tightrope CIOs must walk every day. Fail to understand the business culture and they'll experience the same dysfunctional conflict IT staff experience when communicating with business staff. But understand it too well and the CIOs become part of it, leaving the IT culture behind. Now, their dysfunctional communication will be with the IT staff instead.
The solution isn't to become a member of the other cultures -- to "go native." That just trades one dysfunction for another. Far better is to make sure everyone in IT learns just enough anthropology to get by.
Cultural relativism in the business environment
Start with the principle of cultural relativism -- the principle that within their own contexts, all cultures are equally valid.
In the 21st century, the principle of cultural relativism is tricky because it's only one short step away from intellectual relativism, which has no place in the world -- or shouldn't. Intellectual relativism is the contention that all propositions are equally valid so long as you find them indirectly on the Internet through a link from someone else. (For example, "The Apollo landings were faked" is thus a valid proposition because a blog you visit says, "According to noted expert Irving Slobodnik, the Apollo landings were faked," with a link to Slobodnik's blog.)
Cultural relativism, in contrast, holds that the hidden assumptions, specialized vocabularies, and patterns of thinking and response that make up a culture are adaptive -- they make sense in the context within which they evolved. Cultures are what they are for a reason, which is that they help their members get through the day.
When anyone in IT interacts with any employee in any other part of the organization and it turns out they don't think and speak about the world the same way IT does, that doesn't make them wrong. Or right. It makes them different, which means these conversations are opportunities for IT employees to broaden their horizons. If IT staff learn to ask instead of tell, the results will be transformational. Take this question, for example: "The way you're approaching this is quite different from how we do things in IT. Can you explain it to me?"
Learn their vocabulary
Do you get as annoyed as I do when someone complains about IT jargon? Of course we have jargon. And the usual complaint about it -- that it's a secret code we've invented to close ourselves off and sound more important -- is a perfect example of us-vs.-them tribalism, only with us on the receiving end.
The complaint is ridiculous, because our only alternative is inefficient communication.
Take, for example, the question, "Are those data structures normalized?" For two IT professionals, using "normalized" saves at least 500 words of tedious explication.
Every culture in your company has its own specialized vocabulary, just as impenetrable to us as "normalization" is to them. Fortunately, the solution is simplicity itself. All you have to do is to ask what strange words mean -- and familiar words that sound out of place, too.
Imagine that the word in question is "axolotl." If you really want to emulate anthropologists, you can ask a couple of additional questions, beyond the definitions. Here are three that can be quite useful. One, "Are there different kinds of axolotl?" Two, "What are axolotls composed of?" And three, "What attributes do you use to describe axolotls?"
Respecting differences
MoT stands for "Member of Tribe." Outside the business world, most people have learned this rule, sometimes the hard way. It means that if you're Polish you're allowed to tell Polish jokes and use the ethnic pejorative for Poles. If you're Irish, you aren't, but for you Irish jokes are in-bounds.
Inside the world of business, the same rule applies to anyone who wants to avoid a poisonous clash of cultures. Accountants get to call each other "bean counters." We don't. We get to call each other "propeller heads" (or, for that matter, "geeks"). Accountants don't.
Right about now is when folks start to complain about political correctness, but really, when it comes to establishing a production relationship with colleagues, it's just plain common sense.

Alain Bonavida '05 - A Fast Start
By, Betty Lynne Leary
The year 2005 marked many new beginnings for Alain Bonavida. With his new bride on one arm and a fresh degree from the Washington College of Law in hand, Bonavida moved back to his hometown of Los Angeles to establish his law practice and begin the next chapter of his life.
Tackling contract work while building up his client base, Bonavida was contacted by Joseph Fahs who saw Bonavida's ad for legal services on the online network Craigslist. Fahs was being sued by Georges Marciano, the founder of Guess? Incorporated and Fahs' former employer. Marciano alleged in his lawsuit that Fahs and four other employees committed fraud and conspiracy to deprive Marciano of more than $400 million in money, art, wine and other assets.
"No one wanted to take on Marciano due to his resources, but I thought the case sounded interesting," Bonavida says. And thus started an 18-month, merry-go-round of events that included 17 changes of counsel for Marciano. After the lawsuit was eventually dismissed by the courts, Bonavida countersued on Fahs' behalf for defamation and emotional distress. The four codefendants also retained counsel and joined the countersuit.
In July 2009, after hearing many hours of live testimony and reviewing dozens of exhibits, a jury found Marciano liable to each of the claimants for a total award of more than $370 million. It was the largest jury verdict awarded in the country in 2009.
"Mr. Fahs was being victimized by a wealthy and powerful person, and I welcomed the challenge. Justice was served," Bonavida says. "It was an amazing experience and a litigator's dream. But since it was my first case, I thought, where do I go from here?" he adds laughing.
As a law student at WCL, Bonavida got hooked on fighting for the underdog in the Clinical Program.
"I was in the Civil Practice Clinic my entire third year of school," he explains. "My clinic partner and I worked all year on a very difficult custody case for a woman and her small child. We went to trial and won full custody for her plus child support."
Bonavida found the first year of law school to be an challenging experience but adds, "I loved going to law school. WCL is very student-centric and the professors always have open doors. They are extremely helpful, phenomenal people."
Bonavida enjoys sharing his WCL experiences with West Coast residents who are either newly admitted to the school or who are considering attending WCL.
"I try to attend all the alumni events I can as the school tries to build more of a WCL presence here on the West Coast," Bonavida says. "I loved law school and I like to share that. It was the best educational experience I ever had."

Teens who bully other LGBT youth for religious reasons could be protected. The Family Action Council of Tennessee (FACT) is trying to push a bill many LGBT advocates are calling "License to Bully" in legislative session. According to ThinkProgress.org, the bill protects anyone who harasses or torments LGBT people from behind the Bible or in politics. The bill was introduced last year but was held off. FACT decided to reignite the bill after the suicide of Jacob Rogers, a Tennesse youth who took his life last December after being subjected to years of anti-gay remarks and torture. The Huffinton Post reports FACT's December newsletter states it hopes "to make sure the law protects the religious liberty and free speech rights of students who want to express their views on homosexuality."
Family Action Council President David Fowler added that "the purpose is to stop bullying, not create special classes of people who are more important to others." But several LGBT activist are not buying this and believe the protection of religious, anti-gay bullies came after Jacob Rogers' death. Tennessee Equality Project official Chris Sanders told local Tennessee news channel WSMV the following:
"This kind of legislation can send a message that it's okay to hate and we'll even give you religious sanction for it. What if one student calls another a sinner, or a sodomite or says you're perverted or you're unnatural or you are going to hell? That's where it gets really dicey."
As for David Fowler's feelings on Jacob Rogers' death, he blames it on Rogers' alleged struggles with drugs, alcohol, and an eating disorder, according to the Nashville Scene. He never once mentioned the years of heartache Rogers had to endure at the hand of anti-gay bullying.
GaySocialites will keep you up to date on this story as it developes and we invite you to share your comments below.

DETROIT - A musician's worst nightmare came true at Detroit's Metro Airport.
Dave Schneider, lead singer of the band the Zambonis, cares so much about his classic 1965 Gibson ES-335 that he carries it on board.
But recently, while boarding a flight from Buffalo to Detroit, he was stopped and told he had to check the guitar. Schneider says he would buy the guitar its own seat — but Delta gate staff said no.
Schneider tells Yahoo News that "As his feet touched the ground in Detroit, Schneider said he already knew something had gone horribly wrong. Sure enough, he wrote on Facebook, a "musicians worst nightmare came true."
There at the gate was his guitar — stuck between the service elevator and a loading dock rail making "this crazy sound" of "metal on metal."
The damage to the $10,000 guitar was estimated at $1,980, but Delta offered him $1,000.
He declined and wrote directly to Delta chief executive Richard Anderson.
After Yahoo News contacted Delta, the company apologized and promised it "will be reaching out to the customer directly to discuss how we can make this right."

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The seven point rally to save the Saint Leo volleyball team from sure defeat did not build enough momentum for the Lions to pull out a victory in a five set 3-2 (25-18, 15-25, 25-20, 24-26, 15-7) loss to Eckerd College in Sunshine State Conference action Tuesday night from the Marion Bowman Activities Center.
With Eckerd (12-3, 5-2 SSC) up 2-1 in the fourth set and holding a 24-19 lead, the Lions were almost assured defeat, but a remarkable run that featured five Eckerd errors saw Saint Leo pull out the improbable 26-24 win. It knotted the match heading into the fifth and deciding set as Saint Leo (7-8, 3-4 SSC) had all the momentum.
Somewhere during the three minute intermission, and without a rally played, the Lions handed the edge back over to the visitors from St. Petersburg as they built a 3-0 lead before the Lions spun the scoreboard. Eckerd would proceed to leave little doubt as they held the Lions to just seven points and a .050 hitting percentage. The Tritons notched three service aces in the 15-point final set, including the final point.
Megan Donovan let the Lions with 18 kills and hit .371 along with four blocks. Danielle Bletso connected on 14 kills and hit .321.
Eckerd saw Ariana Chinn blast home 17 kills and Alex Laton added 13 kills in the win.
The Lions will attempt to rebound as they head out of Sunshine State Conference play when they host Elizabethtown College on Thursday night. The match is scheduled to get underway at 7:00 p.m. in the Bowman Center.

"I am incredibly happy that the kind archivists at UC Santa Cruz understand the social value of our priceless archive and its hallowed meaning to our most beloved "Dead Heads." Without the care it is now receiving these treasures would be lost. Please join me in preserving the legacy so we can all continue to explore and experience what the "Grateful Dead" means to us."
- Bill Kreutzmann
We invite you to help us keep the legacy of the Grateful Dead alive and to ensure that the cultural, social and musical heritage of the Grateful Dead remains vital and dynamic. You can do so by:
Financially contributing to the Grateful Dead Archive.
Make a gift online
or by mail. Please make out checks to UCSC Foundation and mail to: Grateful Dead Archive. McHenry Library, 1156 High St. Santa Cruz, CA 95064
Making a gift-in-kind to the Grateful Dead Archive.
As large as the Archive is, we don't have it all. There are items that are missing and help filling in the gaps is gratefully received. Below is our current "wish list" of physical items we'd love to acquire. Let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com if you can make a gift to the Grateful Dead Archive.
"Blow the horn, tap the tambourine. Close the gap on the dark years in between." – Cassidy. Words by John Perry Barlow
In general, we are looking for materials that fill in holes in our collections. In particular, we're looking for are press clipping (from small regional newspapers), tickets,
especially from the 1960s and 1970s, and backstage passes.
Our poster collection is another high priority: the band was not sentimental about their past, and many posters are not represented in the Archive.
These are a few of the types of items we are looking for:
- Any materials pertaining to Magoo's Pizza Parlor in Palo Alto, CA, especially newspaper advertisements, menus, or photographs
- Any materials pertaining to Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions, especially flyers and newspaper ads (especially from the Stanford University student newspaper)
- Early Bill Graham and Family Dog concert posters, handbills, and tickets, especially 1966-1969.

Climate Action
Last Updated in 2012
Climate change is already increasing global temperatures, leading to rising sea levels and more frequent and intense extreme weather events. These changes could affect coastlines, water supplies, human health, ecosystems, and more. Each community will be affected differently, so formal planning and concrete actions are needed to address these changes at both the state and local level. States and municipalities are recognizing the importance of pre-emptive action to address their vulnerabilities to climate change impacts and many have begun to address adaptation concerns either within broader climate action plans, or through separate efforts.
This map shows how cities and states are adapting (or becoming more resilient) to their individual vulnerabilities. It highlights examples of municipal adaptation planning efforts and concrete adaptation actions. It also indicates the status of adaptation planning for each state, and provides plan details where available. Jurisdictions are at various stages in their implementation, but many have begun adaptation planning that follows the same basic structure:
- Outline vulnerabilities to climate change impacts
- Develop a plan to become more resilient to these impacts
- Implement the plan and take action
- Monitor and evaluate implementation progress
The map is not a comprehensive compilation of every city plan or action, but rather highlights examples of what both large and small U.S. cities are doing to adapt to a changing climate.
The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) wishes to acknowledge the US EPA's Office of International and Tribal Affairs for their role in initiating a process to bring together information on the status of urban climate adaptation efforts among U.S. cities, and make that information widely available in the interest of sharing knowledge and experiences domestically and internationally.

BRISTOL — It was decades in the making, but Bristol finally has a new bridge on Route 116.
A cadre of local officials and legislators joined state Transportation Secretary Brian Searles Monday afternoon for a ribbon cutting ceremony at the center of the new span, which crosses the New Haven River on Route 116 between River and Carlstrom roads.

BRISTOL — Since 1995, a particularly dynamic and volatile portion of the New Haven River — just south of Bristol's A. Johnson lumber mill — has moved 400 feet west, encroaching on Route 116 and threatening numerous homes.
Kristen Underwood, a river scientist and Bristol resident, has been working on a plan to protect homes along this stretch of Route 116 for the past two years. As she's nearing the end of her state-funded work, Underwood, Route 116 residents, the Vermont River Conservancy (VRC) and the town of Bristol have proposed a solution.

Giants shut down to give Cain hard-luck loss
Righty allows two runs in 6 1/3 innings, but offense shut out again
SAN DIEGO -- Friday began with the Giants rallying around each other. That turned to soul-searching by the afternoon.
In between, the Giants continued floundering. They tumbled to their 18th loss in 23 games as the San Diego Padres nicked them at Petco Park, 2-0.
Combined with the Dodgers' victory at Colorado, the second-place Giants fell 1 1/2 games behind Los Angeles in the National League West race. That's San Francisco's largest deficit of the season.
Since a little less than half of the regular season remains, the Giants' clubhouse remained devoid of stress, though they were concerned enough to conduct a players-only meeting before batting practice.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy's glowing remarks about the abundant energy in the dugout before the game suggested that players devoted their 10-minute session to bolstering each other's confidence and reminding themselves that the game's supposed to be fun. Right-hander Matt Cain essentially confirmed this.
"There's nothing we can do off the field or [with] effort level," Cain said. "It's just got to happen. Guys are working their tails off. ... They might have to back off. Let's play it that way and act like a bunch of little kids out there and not put too much pressure on ourselves. We've just got to get the right chemistry again and mojo we had earlier in the year, and all this won't matter."
"All this" includes being shut out in three of their last five games and four times in the past 11. Catcher Buster Posey, among the few offensively productive Giants recently, acknkowledged that some teammates might be trying too hard to turn around the club's fortunes.
"I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing all the time. Sometimes that heightens your focus," Posey said.
Asked what makes him believe that the Giants can regroup, Posey replied, "We've done it before. The hardest thing when you're going through a stretch like this is to remember that feeling you had when things were going well. ... You don't have to think as much. And I think there's a little bit of overthinking now. But again, at the same time, that's because we care."
Having shuffled the lineup and changed bullpen roles, Bochy has exhausted virtually all of his options.
"We need a spark. Right now we have to clean the sparkplugs," he said.
Bochy dropped no hints about obtaining a useful performer or two by the July 31 Non-Waiver Trade Deadline. For the most part, the current group of Giants must find their own answers.
"That's a pretty good club we're throwing out there," Bochy maintained.
Citing first baseman Brandon Belt's return, Bochy added, "You look at this lineup. It's a lineup that did a lot of damage. We're not looking for help. I don't think we need help. We have the talent here. We just have to keep believing that it's going to happen. I got a feeling that once we get on a roll, we'll get back to the team we were earlier in the season."
On April 29, for instance, the Giants pounded Padres starter Eric Stults for five runs and seven hits in 2 2/3 innings in a 5-0 triumph. Friday, Stults surrendered four hits in seven innings to halt his eight-decision losing streak.
Bochy tried to frustrate Stults further by employing a batting order featuring six hitters who owned a .300 lifetime average or better against him. Stults neatly sidestepped each obstacle. Two examples included Pablo Sandoval, who entered the game batting .480 (12-for-25) against Stults, and Joaquin Arias (.381, 8-for-21). Sandoval went 0-for-3 off Stults and followed Posey's sixth-inning leadoff single by grounding into a double play. Arias doubled in three at-bats against Stults, but fouled out in the second inning with Michael Morse on second base and one out before delivering his hit with two outs and the bases empty in the fourth inning.
Cain (1-7) lasted 6 1/3 innings and allowed a pair of third-inning runs while losing his fourth consecutive decision, allowing a pair of third-inning runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings. Alexi Amarista, who had one home run in 165 at-bats this season, pulled Cain's 1-0 changeup over the right-field wall with one out. Seth Smith's two-out double prolonged the inning for Chase Headley's RBI single.
Rather than lament his win-loss record, Cain repeated the players' pregame call for fun.
"That's the right step you want to take," he said. "Start moping around, it'll make for a long season. That could be miserable. We want to go out there and enjoy it."

Howdy hey my ATT lovlies! It's Beth stopping in from Sawdust and Embryos once again! It's definitely one of the highlights of my month to drop in on you guys and show you what we've been up to. HUGE thanks to our girl Brooke for giving me this amazing opportunity! I'm still pinching myself!
If you haven't had the opportunity, we wanted to welcome you to stop on over to our blog and snoop around for a bit. We get down and dirty with our DIY tutorials, parenting twins, random daily rantings, and our open struggle with infertility (hence the 'embryos')!
So… today I wanted to show you a little technique that we use to make cheap pine boards look all weathered and barn-board-ish. It's SO simple, and can be used for so many different projects. Just some more awesome knowledge to tuck under your DIY belt!
We started out with these cheap-o 1×4 pine boards. And by cheap, I mean $1.82 for an 8 FOOT BOARD. Wha? It's true.
They look so crisp and new… you just WAIT!
First I chose some paint colors based on the look I was going for. You can use as many or as few colors as you want, and ANY color combination. That's the beauty of it. You just can't go wrong.
Next, I took a dry brush and just lightly brushed paint on here and there, using a different combo of paint for each board. You don't want to cover it completely. And some boards van have more paint than others. You want to be 'purposefully random'!
After letting that dry overnight, I went at it with some pretty hefty sandpaper (40 grit). This is the fun part by far… and you don't have to put much elbow grease into it. You want to sand until you can see the woodgrain through the paint. Like SO:
Some boards I sand more than others. I use my spidey-sense to make these decisions.
You might be tempted to stop there… because they look pretty darn 'weathered'! But the next step is what REALLY makes them pop. Just trust me on this one!
Wipe your boards free of all the sawdust, and then slap on some stain! We use Minwax Provincial (because it's our fave rich brown with NO red tint), but you can use whatever you have on hand… although the lighter stains might not look as awesome.
I quickly stained my boards, and then immediately went back and started wiping them off with a cloth, starting with the first one's I stained.
Ugh… would you look at that grain? Think of all the SWEET things you could do with these!
Can you believe that's it? PAINT… SAIND… STAIN… it doesn't get more simple than that!
We did several batches of these (with different color combos), and made some barn board 'signs' to give away to our loved ones. Here are some examples.
(Tutorial for painting on the lettering HERE)
There are SO many ideas that I have swimming around in my head for what to use these distressed boards for. Wouldn't it make for an AMAZING accent wall covered in these boards? Hmmmmmm!
Thanks again to Brooke and her awesome readers (SUCK-UP!) for letting me stop in! Nick and I hope that you'll have the confidence to give this a whirl! And we desperately hope you'll email us pictures when you're done!
Now come on over to our blog and see what else we're up to!

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- College graduates are hitting the streets this summer looking for a good job in their chosen field and a good place to call home when the workday is done. The job part of that equation is tough enough. According to The Wall Street Journal, the unemployment rate for Americans 25 and under is 22%, adjusted for the decline in the labor force since the start of the Great Recession. The "place to live" part of the equation is easier, but only marginally. The National Association of Realtors looks at multi-family housing and finds plenty of cities where vacancy rates sticking below 5% in coming quarters and considered by landlords as "justifying higher rents." "Average apartment rentals are likely to increase 4.6% this year and another 4.6% in 2014," the association says. Grads may see some help in the form of Apartments.com's recent Top 10 Cities for Recent College Graduates list. "We have been compiling this list of best cities for recent college graduates annually for the past six years," says Dick Burke, senior vice president at Apartments.com. "Each year, we adjust our methodology to ensure we are reflecting ever-evolving economic and social trends on a regular basis. This year's efforts have resulted in a list that represents affordability in tandem with professional opportunity, while taking into consideration the all-important-youthful culture and demographics that appeal to recent grads." Here's how Apartments.com rates the rental picture among U.S. cities on a "quality of life" basis, along with the average price for a one-bedroom apartment rental: 1. Phoenix, Ariz. $708
2. Orlando, Fla. $857
3. San Antonio, Texas $794
4. Columbus, Ohio $634
5. Austin, Texas $1,006
6. Raleigh, N.C. $788
7. Oklahoma City, Okla. $722
8. Fort Worth, Texas $795
9. Dallas, Texas $983
10. Minneapolis $1,177 In a word, life is cheaper for college graduates down South and Southwest, with eight of the 10 top cities in that geographic demographic and four alone in Texas. Of course, the standard of living is less expensive in Austin than in New York City, and that has to be taken into account by college graduates in their hunt for a good salary package, in addition to the hunt for a good place to live. Another hint from the list: Most of those "top 10" locales are college towns, meaning graduates from schools such as the University of Texas in Austin and Ohio State in Columbus should stay right where they are -- if they can land a job there.

Shuga Directional Volumizing Mousse
First of all, this product smells amazing, and I would use it just for that purpose, for fresh scented hair, HOWEVER, it really does lift the roots too (I'm a Texas woman that loves big hair). I recently had a new haircut and the stylist used this in my hair, so I was tempted to buy it (and I did). Usually when I get home, I can never replicate the style that my stylist created the day of my cut. I can honestly say that this time I recreated it, and even better, using this volumizing mousse! When I find a great product, I will use it over and over, so this is going to be in my bathroom for years to come. DETAILS: Shuga Directional Volumizing Mousse is a must have tool for styles that need maximum root elevation and great hold. Delivers a touchable, natural feel, with no tack during and after drying. Excellent for humidity resistance. Volumizing Mousse smells great and is pleasant to work with in the hands and on the hair. For all hair types desiring volume. Use on wet or dry hair. Spray directly on roots where lift is needed. Provides re-stylability + humidity resistance.

You can always narrow down your netmask by sliding Msb to the right.
Hi there!
I hope this is the right forum... (if not...please, don't kill me, i'm not a native english ).
I'm currently working on a simple gui for sslstrip, but i need an advice on how to retrieve via bash all the "live" hosts without knowing the netmask of an interface.
An example...
I wanna scan my network over eth0 and the only thing that i "know" atm is the current ip and the interface that i wanna use.
Is there a way to scan my network with only these parameters or should i work hardly on the netmask? (if it's 255.255.255.0 is quite simple...).
Any idea?
Many thanks!

Here's whats in my script - hope its helpful.
There are a couple of ways for everything
and for the victims you will need to install arpscanCode:lanip="$(ifconfig $interface | awk '/inet addr/ {split ($2,A,":"); print A[2]}')" # LAN IP Address ip_address="$(ifconfig | grep "Bcast" | awk '{print $2}' | cut -c6-)" # IP Address interface="$(route | grep -v Gateway | head -n 5 | tail -n -1 | awk -F " " '{print $8}')" # Facing the Network You Want to Spoof router="$(ip route | grep default | awk '{ print $3}')" # Gives us The Gateway IP address netmask="$(ifconfig | grep Mask | awk '{print $4}' | cut -c6-55)" subnet="$(ip route | awk '{print $1}' | head -1)" wanip="$(wget www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O - -o /dev/null)" # WAN IP Address
apt-get install arp-scan
Code:arp-scan $router/24 -I $interface or arp-scan $subnet -I $interface

Thanks to all.
Hey scamentology, this "arp-scan $router/24 -I $interface" only scan withing 255.255.255.0 or am i wrong? (if i've a different subnet, i should i use arp-scan $subnet -I $interface or am i wrong?)
I'll try these solutions asap!
You can take a look at my script too http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...g-traffic.html, it very commented, so you shouldn't have any problem understanding.
As for only mapping : nmap -sn gatewayip/24 or /16 if you want to map more. What's your subnet ?
Running both KDE and GNOME BT5 flawlessly. Thank you !
Yes, but if you do that on a network using multiple netmasks you could make a mess out of the network and piss off the admin. unless you are just using this to spy on your neighbor, in which case your no better than someone who looks into someones window at night. It creepy.
That being the case I would stick to the netmask assigned to you and move around accordingly. have whatever scan you use just output the data but not act on it until you are ready.
"Never do anything against conscience -- even if the state demands it."

Anyway, what michelinok is read about subnet and netmasks and adapt according to his case.
Running both KDE and GNOME BT5 flawlessly. Thank you !
Use following subnet masks /25= 2^1 subnets *2^7-2 hosts, /26=2^2 subnets *2^6-2 hosts and so on.
You can also use instead of CIDR notation write simply subnet masks by using dot decimal notation
/25 = 255.255.255.128, /26 = 255.255.255.192 .
Scientia ac Labore
what i really wanna do is an "automated" detection of the subnet, nothing else.
i know that in 98% of the cases it'll be 255.255.255.0 but if not? i don't wanna user to be forced to type his subnet
sorry for my english...i hope you've understood now (or "understand now"? )
If you did glance at my script you'd have found what you're looking for ^^
I wrote #store gateway/24 because that's what it is in 98% of the cases. But if it changes, the var will change too, accordingly.Code:search=$(ip route show | awk '(NR == 1) { print $1}') #store gateway/24 for whole network mapping to variable #We put it here in the middle, because it could be used two times, but the gateway shouldn't change, #so there is no need to do it twice.
Then nmap -sn $search

By clicking Submit, you accept the Adobe Terms of Use.
Extensive knowledge of Flex 3 or Flex 4.5. But if you intend to incorporate aspects of the Flex Dashboard application into your own projects, then having a good understanding of Flex 3, and at least a basic understanding of what's new in Flex 4.5, is essential.
This article is Part 1 of a four-part series in which you import the Flex 3 Dashboard demonstration application available on the Flex Developer Center into Flash Builder 4.5, the latest version of Adobe's IDE for developing applications for the Flash platform, and then migrate the application to Flex 4.5 to take advantage of the Flex 4.5 Spark architecture and components.
Although a key feature of Flex 4.5 is its support for creating mobile applications in Flex, this article series does not convert the Dashboard application to a mobile application. A future article series will cover creating a mobile Dashboard application.
I really love the Flex 3 Dashboard application. It's a great showcase for some compelling uses of Flex, including presenting data in charts, grids, and forms, as well as in pods that can be dragged around the UI. It's also a great starting point for incorporating some engaging Flex functionality into your own applications.
Flash Builder 4.5 ships with both the Flex 3.x SDK and the Flex 4.x SDK. While you could continue developing Flex 3 applications in Flash Builder, there are clear advantages to moving to Flex 4.x. First, the compiler is faster. Second, the new Spark component architecture, together with the new skinning and states model, is a significant improvement. When you consider the other new features available as well, using the Flex 4.x SDK is the clear choice.
Part 1 of the series (this article) describes how to import the Flex 3 Dashboard into Flash Builder 4.5 while changing as little as possible. The Flex 4.x SDK ships with a new compiler, so importing the Dashboard requires a few additional steps.
This article series does not attempt to improve the overall quality of the Dashboard application architecture. The goal is simply to provide an example of modifying an application created in Flex 3 to use Flex 4.5—and provide enough information to help you migrate your own Flex 3 applications to Flex 4.5.
Here are some of the Flex 4.5 and general Flex topics that are covered in this series:
To try out the Dashboard application, visit the Flex 3 Dashboard page and click the Experience The Application link.
To complete this article series you need Flash Builder 4.5 installed. You can buy Flash Builder 4.5, or download the trial version.
To download the Dashboard source file ZIP archive:
When you import the Dashboard project, you must also select the Flex SDK version for the project. This section describes these two steps.
There are two ways import the Dashboard application project in Flash Builder. You can import the project after extracting the contents of the ZIP file to a directory, or you can import directly from the Dashboard.zip archive file (see Figure 1). You may use either method.
Follow these steps to import from the ZIP file:
You will be prompted to choose which Flex SDK will be used to compile the project (see Figure 3). You can select the Flex SDK 4.5 that ships with Flash Builder 4.5, or you can select a more recent version of the Flex SDK if one is available.
Note: The steps in this article were tested using Flex SDK 4.5 and Flex SDK 4.5.1. When using a more recent SDK version you may encounter problems as you follow this four-part article series if there are API differences between Flex SDK 4.5.1 and the SDK you are using.
Note: After you have imported the Flex 3 Dashboard application into Flash Builder you may want to save the imported but unchanged project files to another location for reference.
Following a successful import of the project, you will need to make several code changes to correct for differences between the Flex 3 SDK and Flex 4.5 SDK.
Note: Some errors mentioned later in this article will not be displayed until the first few errors have been addressed, so you may not see them yet.
If you try to build the project (by choosing Project > Build All) the first error you'll see notes that the libs folder is missing (see Figure 5).
The libs folder is created automatically by Flash Builder for new projects, but for imported projects that do not contain a libs folder, the folder must be created manually:
The folder can remain empty (see Figure 6) but it must exist to remove the error.
After adding the libs folder, build the project again. The error for the missing folder will be gone, but you will have a new error and several warnings (see Figure 7). The next few steps eliminate this new error and new errors as they occur. After you reach a point when all errors have been fixed you will address the multiple warnings.
To fix the error:
backgroundSize style property from the
<mx:Application> tag.
You will now see two new errors (see Figure 8), which you will fix before you address the warnings.
The two new errors for incorrect number of arguments are due to API changes introduced in Flex 3.5 SDK (the Dashboard application was originally created using an earlier version of the Flex 3 SDK, before the Flex 3.5 SDK was released). The changes involve the IStroke and IFill interfaces. The problem is that the number of arguments passed to two methods defined in these interfaces has changed.
To fix the errors follow these steps:
This first error occurs because the IStroke interface method
apply() , which prior to Flex 3.5 took a single argument, now takes three arguments.
Flex 3.4 and earlier:
Flex 3.5 and Flex 4.5:
apply(graphics:Graphics, targetBounds:Rectangle, targetOrigin:Point):void
stroke.apply(g); with
stroke.apply(g, rc, new Point(rc.left,rc.top)); .
import statements if it is not already present:
import flash.geom.Point;
This error occurs because the IFill interface method
begin() , which prior to Flex 3.5 took two arguments, now takes three arguments.
Flex 3.4 and earlier:
begin(target:Graphics, rc:Rectangle):void
Flex 3.5 and Flex 4.5:
begin(target:Graphics, targetBounds:Rectangle, targetOrigin:Point):void
f.begin(g,rc); with
f.begin(g,rc, new Point(rc.left,rc.top)); to resolve the error.
themeColor style was removed in the Spark skins, so you'll need to remove it as you migrate to Spark and Flex 4.5.
themeColor style property from the
<mx:List> tag.
This next error to fix indicates that Flash Builder cannot create the HTML wrapper. The error occurs because the HTML templates were updated in Flex 4.5 to take advantage of SWFObject, which provides a more reliable way to do Flash Player detection.
This error is simple to fix:
To eliminate most of the warnings, follow these steps:
<mx:Style> tag (near line 14):
<mx:Style source="/assets/styles.css" />
The styles handled by this tag will be implemented in various custom skins in the later parts of this series. Do not delete the styles.css file as you will refer to it while creating the custom skins.
The two remaining warnings occur because in the Flex 4.x SDK you reference top-level application objects and methods differently than with the Flex 3 SDK. Instead of using the mx.core.Application class (for example,
Application.application.MY_TOP_VAR_OR_METHOD ) as you would in Flex 3, in Flex 4.5 you use the mx.core.FlexGlobals class (for example,
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.MY_TOP_VAR_OR_METHOD ).
Application.application with
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication .
FlexGlobals , replace the following line at the top of PodLayoutManager.as near the other import statements:
import mx.core.Application;
with this:
import mx.core.FlexGlobals;
After making these changes and rebuilding you should have no errors or warnings.
Note: After you have resolved all the errors with the imported Flex 3 Dashboard application into Flash Builder you may want to save the project files to another location for reference.
Now that you've resolved all the build errors, you can launch the Dashboard application in Flash Builder 4 by choosing Run > Run or by pressing Ctrl+F11 (see Figure 11).
Note: If the application does not launch, you may need to install Flash Player 10.2. You can download Flash Player 10.2 here. If you have problems installing Flash Player 10.2, because you are told a newer version of the Flash Player is available, use the uninstall_flash_player.exe available here.
This article illustrated how to import the Flex Developer Center Dashboard demonstration application, which was written using the Flex 3 SDK, into Flash Builder 4.5, as the first step to migrating the application to Flex 4.5.
Now that you have imported the Dashboard project and resolved the initial errors that cropped up when switching to the Flex 4.5 SDK, you can proceed to Part 2 of this series and begin migrating the application to Flex 4.5.
For more information on Flex 4.5—and in particular features relevant to the Dashboard application—see the following resources:
