Wow, the dangerous concepts well meaning people and unqualified coaches share with other riders! Mountain bike braking happens while riding you bike! That means the same body position that puts you in control and in balance while riding should be used while braking too! We stress being in a balanced, centered and neutral position while descending and we need to maintain that while braking. As a matter of fact, because of braking forces (remember the brakes on our light weight bike, not our much heavier body) it is even more important to stay balanced, centered and neutral while braking.
Since applying our brakes slows the bike but not necessarily our body we have to stay centered to keep from being pitched forward! If we get our weight back or as some coaches say, "use your butt as the third brake" we end up in an off balance, non-neutral position setting us up for a host of bad things to happen to us. Think about why you brake while riding, usually one or a combination of three things; you are approaching a corner and need to slow down, you are approaching a more difficult section of trail (such as a steeper or rockier section) and want to slow down to feel more in control or you need to stop, sometimes in a hurry! Do you want to be in the position in the photo as you enter a corner or a tougher section of trail? Not if you want to live to ride again tomorrow! Remember the video tutorial/blog post on descending body position? If not or for a refresher click this link: http://wp.me/p49ApH-aT
Here is just the video but please go the blog post and read more about the why's and how's of doing this.
Well that getting "yanked down" effect from your straight arms will be multiplied by your weight wanting to keep going forward as your bike slows and you will get pitched over the bars, with authority! A high school mtb coach I know took the "butt is your third brake advice" and broke is collarbone as he was braking and his front wheel went down a 20 inch ledge on semi-steep descent. Had he stayed centered and neutral he would have been fine!
Almost as bad as flipping over is having your front wheel slide out! There is little to no weight on your front tire if your butt is back over the rear tire so it has little to no traction! Not only is there no weight on the front tire you are probably a little out of balance which could cause your front wheel to slide to one side and your chest to violently hit the ground on the other side. This why many people are afraid of their front brake, sliding front tires are scary!
Lastly, with all your weight over the rear tire you are minimizing the weight on the front tire, thereby reducing the effectiveness of your POWERFUL front brake! You plain can't stop in as short a distance with your weight back as you can when you are centered.
How to stay centered and neutral while braking:
1. First master riding in the centered and neutral position (in the video tutorial linked above and taught much more deeply in our skills progressions).
2. Ride in the centered and neutral position and when braking stay there! Do this by fighting your body's forward motion. Do this by "sinking into your bike" drop your rear end and chest to lower your centered of gravity, dropping your heels so you can push against the pedal spindles and using the "heel" of your hands to push against the bars to resist the forward motion of your body. Having a dropper post really helps you do this by getting that darn seat out of your way.
3. Review the braking part of our free mini-course and remember that your front brake is 70-100% of your stopping power. Use that front brake, become friends with it! Do the braking drill from the mini-course and learn how much pressure you can apply to each brake and learn to modulate those brakes.
4. Look at the "Bad Clinic" photo above and then watch World Cup Downhill racing on Redbull dot com and watch to see if you can find Aaron Gwin, Greg Minnaar or Steve Peat in that position before any steep rocky section or corner. You won't find them in that position as you can't even qualify much less win a World Cup if you are riding out of balance like that.
Mountain bike braking is all about staying balanced, centered and neutral. We do need to fight the forward motion of our body but we do that by resisting, not by getting our weight back! Go out and enjoy a more in balance and in control ride!

Low-Power x86: AMD's Hondo Vs. Intel's Clover Trail
Do we need low-power x86 processors? To date, the market is pretty much split between Intel- and AMD-based notebooks that mostly run Windows or Mac OS, and ARM-based tablets like the iPad and Android versions. But with Windows 8 making a bigger push for tablets and hybrid computers, both AMD and Intel are introducing x86-compatible processors that require much less power than their notebook versions. Effectively, the companies are trying to fight back against the threat of ARM-based tablets running Windows RT by providing chips that are lower-power than previous x86 chips but that still provide compatibility with full Windows 8. This enables the existing legacy of Windows applications, which won't run on Windows RT.
Intel formally unveiled its "Clover Trail" version of its Atom platform two weeks ago, and today AMD is unveiling its Z-60 processor, known as "Hondo."
We've been seeing early versions of Clover Trail for months, with tablets first shown at Computex back in June. This version of Atom, known as the Z2760, is a dual-core, four-thread processor that runs at speeds up to 1.8GHz. It adds a number of features that had been part of Intel's higher-end Core series processors, including a "burst" or turbo mode and hyperthreading, plus integrated graphics up to 533MHz. Intel says it will enable tablets as thin as 8.5mm and as light as 1.5 pounds, with over ten hours of HD video playback and over three weeks of standby time. (As always, I take battery life predictions with a grain of salt.) This is a System-on-Chip design on Intel's 32nm process, so it uses older technology than the current 3rd Generation Core processors which are made on 22nm.
At its announcement, Intel showcased several partners with Clover Trail-based systems, including the Acer Iconia W510, Asus Vivo Tab, Dell Latitude 10, HP Envy 2, Lenovo ThinkPad 2, and Samsung Series 5 slate. Most of the machines seem to be hybrid designs with detachable keyboards, so they can run either as tablets or as small notebooks. The first ones should ship concurrent with Windows on October 26. The units I saw at the Intel Developer Forum last month all had 2GB of DRAM and seemed fast enough for basic use, though I haven't had one long enough to tell for sure.
AMD today announced its Z-60 "accelerated processing unit." This is a dual-core processor (using the company's "Bobcat" cores) that can run at speeds up to 1GHZ and includes the company's Radeon HD 6250 graphics with 80 graphics cores. AMD says the Z-80 consumes just 4.5 watts of TDP and will enable tablets as thin as 10mm with up to six hours of HD video playback and eight hours of Web browsing, with almost two weeks of standby time. These numbers aren't quite as good as Intel's claims, but AMD says its chips should have better graphics performance, including Direct X 11 compatibility.
AMD hasn't yet announced any hardware partners, but did say the first tablets will launch this year in conjunction with the Windows release.
Of course, at that point, we'll also likely be seeing Microsoft's ARM-based Surface RT tablet and potentially other ARM-based systems, as well as a variety of hybrids and tablets based on more powerful x86 cores. (In particular, we saw a number of Intel Core-based tablets at both Computex and IDF.) I would expect the Core-based tablets and hybrids to be priced similarly as Ultrabooks—probably $700 and up—with RT-based tablets costing much less. Clover Trail and Hondo-based systems will likely fit in between.
I'll be extremely interested to see how systems based on the different kinds of processor stack up in terms of price, performance, and battery life. We should know more around the end of the month.

Using the Logic of Complexity Theory to Address Apparently Intractable ProblemsZeit: Fri 12.7.2013, 09:00, 60 Minuten
Ort: Johannes Kepler University Linz, Science Park 3, HS 18
ZusammenfassungThe talk will outline some of the key principles from complexity theory used by the Complexity Research Group at LSE, to develop a method to address apparently intractable problems. They often appear intractable (difficult, complex, unsolvable)because of the way they are addressed; they are complex with multiple underlying causalities, yet the approaches used tend to be simplistic and linear, focussing on a single cause. The approach can be used to address organisational problems (SMEs toglobal), societal issues such as deforestation in Indonesia, and global challenges such as the spread of pandemics across borders.
VortragenderProf. Eve Mitleton-Kelly is founder and Director of the Complexity Research programme at the London School of Economics; Senior Fellow in LSE IDEAS, centre for the study of international affairs, diplomacy & grand strategy; Fellow of the Royal Institution; member of the Scientific Advisory Board to the "Next Generation Infrastructures Foundation", Delft University of Technology; on the Editorial Board of the Journal of "Emergence: Complexity & Organisations" was Coordinator of Links with Business, Industry and Government of the European Complex Systems Network of Excellence, Exystence (2003-2006); Director of the UK Complexity Society; and Executive Coordinator of SOL-UK (London) (Society for Organisational Learning)1977-2008. Her research has concentrated on the implications of the theories of complexity for organizations and specifically on strategy and policy development and on the creation of enabling environments to address apparently intractable problems in business and the public sector. She has led, and participated in projects addressing practical problems using complexity theory. Her latest project is working with a government agency in Indonesia to help them change their organization to enable them to more effectively address deforestation. She has developed a theory of complex social systems and an integrated methodology using both qualitative and quantitative tools and methods. The theory is being used for teaching at universities around the world, including three EPSRC-funded short courses at LSE, to train researchers. Publications, incl. a book on corporate governance and complexity (2010) and the work of the LSE Complexity Group are on www.lse.ac.uk/complexity . A new volume, edited by EMK and based on the work of Socionical Partners, is forthcoming, to be published by Springer in June 2013.

January 19, 2003LOS ANGELES — The election of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as Brazil's president has given Washington a unique opportunity to engage seriously with the biggest country in South America. Improved relations with Brazil — including genuine progress towards a free trade agreement — would dramatically change the political and diplomatic landscape of Latin America. Indeed, after a U.S.-Brazil trade accord, the rest of the region would follow swiftly and the Free Trade Area of the Americas — until now an elusive goal — would rapidly become a reality.
But not everything is about trade. If Brazil were to become a close ally, it would be much easier for the United States to tackle other tricky Latin American issues, including increasing political instability in Venezuela and implementation of an effective anti-narcotics policy for the region. It would also be easier to tackle the increasing use by Islamic terrorists of the triple frontier of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay as a financial centre.
Unfortunately, the Bush administration has failed to grasp this opportunity. Indeed it has done little to signal any interest in forging closer ties with Brazil. Diplomatic circles were astonished to find out that no senior U.S. cabinet member attended Mr. Lula da Silva's inauguration this month and at last week's nomination of Roger Noriega — the little-known ambassador to the ineffective Organisation of American States — as the senior state department official responsible for Latin America. Indeed, the nomination of Mr. Noriega — a staunch anti-communist who once served as an aide to former Senator Jesse Helms and who has little expertise beyond central America and Cuba — is a snub to the large Latin American countries. The nomination can be interpreted only as a political move aimed at pleasing the anti-Castro Cuban community in South Florida.
But it is not too late for the United States to change course. The administration should recognise its mistake and withdraw Mr. Noriega's nomination. It should then nominate a truly senior figure with deep knowledge and understanding of the region and in particular of Brazil. And if the administration is unwilling to do it, Senator Richard Lugar, the highly respected chairman of the Senate's foreign relations committee, should step in and ensure that Mr. Noriega is not confirmed to such a critical post.
While not openly anti-American, many Latin Americans — and in particular many Brazilians — have traditionally been suspicious of U.S. goals in the region. Some believe that Washington intends to impose its own policies, without much regard for domestic views; others worry about the implications of U.S. protectionism. These concerns have been exacerbated by recent U.S. protectionist policies on steel and agriculture.
Because of this deep suspicion, Brazilian politicians have traditionally taken a cautious approach towards relations with the United States. Indeed, most Brazilian political leaders have feared that voters could interpret overtures towards Washington as a sign of weakness and of catering to American interests. As a result, Brazil's diplomatic relations with the United States have historically been cold, awkward and distant.
With Mr. Lula da Silva at the helm, however, this difficult relationship could change for the better. With his impeccable left-wing credentials and his past as a trade union leader, no one could possibly accuse Mr. Lula da Silva of being pro-capitalist or of giving in to pressure from multinational corporations. He is thus uniquely positioned to initiate open, frank and productive negotiations with the United States that go beyond the usual rhetoric. This is a chance to make real headway on bilateral and hemispheric issues.
During his first few weeks in office Mr. Lula da Silva has given positive signals. Contrary to the fears of many Wall Street analysts, he has appointed a solid economic team. He clearly intends to pursue economic modernisation and his administration will welcome foreign investment. Indeed, after years of seeking the presidency, Mr. Lula da Silva is aware that fiscal discipline, low inflation and honouring debt commitments are the prerequisites for sustained growth in any modern economy. He is also aware that without robust growth there is no chance that his social programmes will succeed.
All of this is good news, not only for Brazil but also for Latin America as a whole. The best way to make sure that Mr. Lula da Silva keeps his promises is for the United States to treat him seriously and to bring him to the table to discuss a free trade agreement that would dismantle protectionist measures in both countries. This, however, would require the White House to appoint a first-rate diplomatic team to deal with Brazil and the rest of Latin America. Mr. Noriega simply does not make the cut. As the experience of the North American Free Trade Agreement has shown, enhanced trade is not only good for the economies involved. It also brings closer diplomatic ties and forges support in the world diplomatic arena. And more and better friends are one thing the United States needs as the crises in Iraq and North Korea deepen.

Cyber security software firm
Shares of the San Diego company, which employs 1,600 workers worldwide, surged nearly 29 percent to close at $24.76 on the Nasdaq.
Websense makes Internet security, data protection and Web filtering software mostly for businesses. It released its first products in 1996 and has been a dean of San Diego's Internet security software scene.
But Websense also recorded up and down financial performance in recent years in the hotly competitive cyber security business, with many analysts believing the company eventually would be sold.
"After years of speculation, investors will be rubbing their eyes this morning that Websense finally got acquired and will go the route of other security software vendors – Aladdin, Blue Coat,
Vista Equity Partners offered $24.75 in cash for Websense, which it said was a 53 percent premium over the company's average closing stock price over the past two months. Vista, with offices in
"We are long-term investors in enterprise software and data companies that are committed to being leaders in their markets," said Robert F. Smith, CEO and founder of Vista Equity. "We look forward to working with the company to enable it to reach its full potential."
Ives, the FBR Capital Markets analyst, called the purchase price fair and said he would be surprised if a rival bidder emerged.
Websense's board of directors recommended that the company's shareholders tender – or sell -- their shares to Vista at the offered price. The company expects the deal to be completed before the end of the third quarter, subject to regulatory approval and Vista securing financing.
"Vista shares a similar vision for the company, including a dedication to developing and delivering best-in-class cyber security to our customers," said John McCormack, Websense Chief Executive. "Vista brings an operational discipline that will enable us to continue to invest in the business and technology innovation."
Websense will become a privately held company after the deal closes. It started trading publicly in 2000. The firm's senior management is expected to continue with the company and its headquarters are expected to remain in San Diego.
"After detailed discussions with several potential acquirers, the Websense board of directors is pleased to approve this agreement," said John Carrington, Websense board chairman. "It provides stockholders with immediate and substantial cash value that reflects our assessment of the fair value of the company."
In its early years, Websense was known mostly for its Web filtering software, which blocks access to pornography and other inappropriate Web sites in the workplace. Later, the company expanded into a broader range of network security products with email spam filters, malware detection, data protection and other cyber-security offerings. In 2010, the company transitioned to its Triton Internet Security Suite, which provides more comprehensive protection. Triton is sold to businesses on a subscription basis.
Websense posted sales of $361.4 million last year and net income of $18.3 million, or 50 cents a share. That's down from sales of $364 million and earnings of $31 million in 2011. It competes with major Internet security software firms, including Symantec and McAfee.
While the company's results had been inconsistent, they have improved over the last few quarters, said Ives. He believes the new management team led by McCormack, who took over as CEO in January, reinvigorated sales and helped pave the way for the Vista acquisition.
"This morning's acquisition speaks to the value of security software in the overall tech food chain as we believe a surge in merge activity is poised to hit the sector in the next six to 12 months as larger technology players and private equity look to get a larger piece of the security pie," said Ives.
BofA Merrill Lynch advised Websense, with Cooley LLP acting as legal advisor.

text: 5 Steps to Protect Yourself When Your Identity is Compromised October 28, 2014 Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America. Even our largest retailers are not immune to the risks of using credit and debit card machines. So what should you do when you think your identity may have been exposed? Farm Bureau Financial Services offers tips to help you keep your information safe. Keep a careful watch over your accounts. It seems like a no-brainer, but once they have your personal information, identity criminals can use it any time, even 6 months or more after your information breach. Knowing how much you've spent, and where, can help you trace back to see if your card may have been exposed. Suspicious charges can be both large and small as sometimes ID thieves make small purchases to verify the account is valid. Cancel the exposed card(s). If you know a certain credit or debit account has been exposed, cancel and replace the card and set up a new PIN to reduce the risk of fraudulent charges on the account. Don't forget to provide new information to companies or service providers with whom you have automatic payments set up. Order and review your credit reports. This will help you ensure no one has opened a new account in your name. The three credit agencies – TransUnion, Equifax and Experian – are required to give you one free credit report apiece each year. Consider placing an initial fraud alert. It takes just one call to one of the three credit reporting agencies to establish a free 90-day fraud alert on your credit report. This alert makes it harder for a thief to open new accounts in your name because businesses go to extra lengths to verify your identity before issuing new credit. Enroll in an identity theft prevention program. Quick detection and rapid response can reduce your risk of identity theft. With ID theft protection and credit monitoring, you'll receive notifications of key changes to your account that could indicate fraud. Plus, you'll often have access to a fraud specialist who can help you resolve ID fraud issues and help you recover.

Marijuana is increasingly tolerated in the United States. Last November, Colorado and Washington voted to legalize marijuana and tax it like a commodity.
More states are considering following Washington and Colorado down the path of legalization.
Ethan Nadelmann, the Executive Director of the pro-legalization Drug Policy Alliance, told us last month that the next states to push for legalization will be those states that led the pack on medical marijuana.
Here's a GIF from Reddit's TimeToLegalize subreddit showing marijuana's march to legalization:

Buying Go Equipment and Supplies
Go equipment can be hard to find in stores, and good equipment is even harder. If you want to buy in person, and your local game store has nothing to your liking, you can try shops that specialize in Asian gifts or arts and crafts. Look around and ask for go (Japanese), baduk (Korean), or wei ch'i/weiqi (Chinese). Go books, especially for more advanced players, are also few and far between in bookstores. In both cases, your best source for equipment may be online. We hope you will find this information and these links useful in your search.
The three vendors listed below have published, among them, more than 200 volumes of excellent go instruction in English, bringing a wealth of knowledge to the aspiring Western player go player. Check out the AGA's annotated bibliography, where you'll also find links to more information about these books.
Publishes original English-language instructional material, including the quarterly Go World magazine. Kiseido's catalog features a continuous series of more than thirty instructional volumes, a mega-how-to manual for top level play: Graded Go Problems For Beginners (4 volumes); The Elementary Go Series (7 volumes); Mastering The Basics (7 volumes); Get Strong at Go(10 volumes); and Graded Go Problems for Dan Players (6 volumes). Kiseido also sells many other excellent books, top quality equipment and original go art. Kiseido Digital offers Go World and other products in e-book pdfs.
A broad, diverse and popular catalog of translated and original works, such as John Fairbairn's fascinating series of books on historic matches and Yi-lun Yang's Fundamental Principles of Go and The Workshop Lectures Vols. 1-6.
Publishes many translations of Asian go classics for all levels of play; large software inventory; unique equipment and other items. An interesting online art gallery.
Go playing equipment varies widely in quality. You can get a good basic set, with a thin wooden board and plastic stones and bowls, for under $50; or spend a little more for thicker, more fine-grained wood and heavier, thicker glass stones. The best equipment can cost $1000's. Honored artisans such as the Miwa family make fine boards according to a long family tradition, while other manufacturers such as Korye Myengban create boards with elaborately inlaid grids. Top-quality stones, such as those made by Kurokigoishi are generally made from slate and clamshell. It is also possible to purchase custom-made stones cut from semi-precious gems. To learn much more, you can consult Wikipedia's "go equipment page".
Get the best equipment you can afford, it will enhance your enjoyment of the game. Avoid cheap imitations! The stones should be lens-shaped or flat on one side (Yunzi style), and they should be large enough to touch when placed on adjacent intersections. These are mostly US-based companies, but for the convenience of other Western go lovers we have also listed European and Australian sources.

Check Linux Server For Rootkits, Check If CentOS Linux Server Is Compromised
Yesterday I wrote an article about securing your /tmp and /var/tmp directories on a Linux server because I had found some files uploaded to the /tmp directory via the apache user. After locking down those directories I wanted to verify that there were no other issues on the server so I installed Rootkit Hunter and Rootcheck which are two applications that will assist you with verifying the integrity of your Linux server. Below is information on installing Rootkit Hunter and Rootcheck as well as information on how to use each of them effectively.

Ridgecrest is located in the southern portion of the Indian Wells Valley and in the northeast corner of Kern County, surrounded by four mountain ranges; the Sierra Nevada on the west, the Cosos on the north, the Argus Range on the east, and the El Paso Mountains on the south. It is approximately an hour and quarter from the Lancaster/Palmdale area and approximately two hours from both Bakersfield and San Bernardino. A favorable characteristic of the City is its proximity to two major highways, the 395 and 14. Air travel in and out of the city is provided through the Inyokern Airport. These attributes make Ridgecrest, a central location for shopping and business for the Eastern Kern County area. Ridgecrest is also easily accessible to the rest of southern California making it an ideal location for industry.
Ridgecrest evolved into a growing and dynamic city during the 1950's and 1960's as a support community, vital to the mission of the Navy, by providing housing and services for Federal employees and contractors. Ridgecrest incorporated in 1963 and now provides shopping for over 40,000 people throughout the Indian Wells Valley.
China Lake Naval Weapons Center (NWC) and now the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) is home to the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, which continues to be the major source of employment for Ridgecrest residents. The economic stability of Ridgecrest as service community for the NAWS has been essential to its successful emergence as a community in its own right. In addition, the same location characteristics that initially attracted the NAWS; growing space, clean air, good water, highway accessibility, easy access to multiple recreational opportunities, and proximity to Los Angeles and Bakersfield. Ridgecrest friendly business attitude continues to serve as an attraction for business to relocate to Ridgecrest and the Indian Wells Valley.
As the only incorporated community in the Indian Wells Valley, Ridgecrest boasts a thriving economy and a robust population of just over 27,000 people. Ridgecrest acts as the shopping and business center for northeastern Kern County.

UBS Outlook, 4th Quarter 2002: Swiss industrial recovery falters
The absence of a boost from exports and weak domestic demand brought the stuttering Swiss industrial recovery to a standstill in the summer. Nonetheless, companies polled in the latest UBS survey see some light at the end of the tunnel.
Swiss industry suffered a severe setback in the third quarter. Domestic demand weakened as the anticipated boost from exports failed to materialize. According to the results of the latest UBS quarterly survey, which covered over 300 industrial companies, the situation worsened markedly up until September. In particular, the watchmaking, machinery, plastics and metal industries suffered a significant decline in business activity. The UBS business cycle indicator, a trend barometer of business activity which is derived from the results of the survey, suggests that the economy will remain sluggish. However, companies are expecting a consolidation in the fourth quarter.
Decline in all indicators
The companies surveyed by UBS experienced an even sharper year-on-year decline in almost all indicators during the third quarter. Against the background of a delayed economic recovery in Switzerland's most important foreign markets and extremely restrained capital spending, the contraction in order volumes accelerated slightly. Both domestic and export sales were down on the prior-year period. The export-oriented sectors, in particular, were forced to introduce wide-ranging price cuts in the face of continuing weak demand and the high Swiss franc exchange rate. As a result, there was no recovery in profitability. Only 20% of companies reported higher earnings, while 46% suffered a fall.
Hopes resting on final quarter
Although industrial output is likely to remain weak in the short term due to thin order books and the low level of order backlogs, industry is more optimistic for the fourth quarter. The UBS survey is not yet showing expectations in positive territory for any indicator, but overall companies now reckon that whilst orders from abroad will stagnate, domestic orders will fall significantly less than they did in recent months. Due to reduced inventories of finished goods, production levels can probably be maintained. In contrast, an early end to adjustments in headcount is not in sight as these usually lag behind the economic cycle. With the exception of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, job cuts are planned up until December in all sectors of the economy. One company in three believes it will need to take such measures.
Picture differs according to industry
In the third quarter only the food, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors were expanding. Whilst textiles and electrical engineering were able to make up ground, they have not yet been able to move into positive growth rates. The crisis-ridden timber and furniture industry continued its decline, recording the worst results of all, and the situation has cooled markedly in the other sectors. Although there is a widespread reduction in pessimism regarding the final quarter of 2002, food, textiles, chemicals and pharmaceuticals are the only sectors anticipating positive growth rates in incoming orders, production and sales.

Noncommunicable diseases (NCD)
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, are the leading cause of mortality in the world. This invisible epidemic is an under-appreciated cause of poverty and hinders the economic development of many countries. The burden is growing - the number of people, families and communities afflicted is increasing. Common, modifiable risk factors underlie the major NCDs. They include tobacco, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet, insufficient physical activity, overweight/obesity, raised blood pressure, raised blood sugar and raised cholesterol. The NCD threat can be overcome using existing knowledge. The solutions are highly cost-effective. Comprehensive and integrated action at country level, led by governments, is the means to achieve success.

What do you need to know?
What do you need to know?
These are lightly spiced muffins, so amp up the spices if you are looking for bolder flavors.
These taste fantastic without the carrots! :P I found this out by accident. When I made them for the third time, I decided to put in the carrots. They just weren't as good.
Has anyone had the urge to top them with a swirl of cream cheese frosting?
I added extra carrots 'cause I love them. Perfect warm from the oven spread with soft butter or cream cheese.

On November 12, 2004, the Honeynet was connected to the Internet. During the time between the start up and November 22, nothing special happened. We just observed an enormous number of
packets with destination port 445 which is not critical for the installed Honeypot.
At 1:16 am the Honeypot got compromised by exploiting the WU-FTP daemon. There was no port scan or FTP connection before, the first connect was used to hack the computer which is an indication of an autorooter-tool. Such tools are used to scan whole network ranges for vulnerable machines and attack everything they come across. They just deliver their "evil" payload to every system in the given address range. In our case, it was probably a tool called
superwu since later on, the attacker used this tool to attack further targets from the Honeypot.
Until 8:21 am there was no activity from the attacker. Probably he started the tool the night before and checked in the morning for successful gained access. As a first step he downloaded a rootkit and installed it on the Honeypot. This script-based rootkit replaces some system binaries with trojaned files:
In addition, it install an SSH-daemon on port 255 which was used by the attacker to log on the Honeypot in the following. The rootkit uses source code to compile new versions of binary files. These trojaned executables are adjusted to the size of the original files of the target system to "hide" the presence. The rootkit also installs a sniffer to collect login information to other systems. Furthermore, it modifies the init-scripts to ensure that the installed services will start on next reboot and then sends out an information mail about the system status to the attacker. After finishing the installation, the attacker reentered the Honeypot via the additionally installed SSH service using the tool "putty", an SSH-Client for Windows-systems. Afterwards the attacker downloaded a file called spam.tgz. This archive contains some PHP and HTML files. Further examination showed that these files contain web-pages to update the billing profile update for seller accounts of a large Internet auctions website. The attacker copied this files into the document root of the webserver. The "index.html" start page is a forwarding page to the auctions website. The reason for that is that these PHP pages were incomplete. The attacker edited them, but never finished his work on this files. By tracing the IP of the attacker, the source could be located in Romania. A scan of this computer showed no open ports, so this could be the computer of the cracker.
At8:49 am the attacker downloaded another file: psybnc.tgz. After extracting the archive, he installed the included IRC-Bouncer and started an IRC-Session to an "undernet.org" server. The channel he entered was probably used to control hacked systems. A scan of all 8 connected clients showed the same untypical open port 255 with a listening SSH-daemon like the Honeypot had. The attacker also entered another channel and received Operator-rights there. The topic on this channel was a pointer to his personal homepage and the language used in that channel was Romanian.
At6:25 pm the attacker came back and downloaded the file windmilk.tgz. This archive contains the "superwu" autorooter. After extracting the executable binary file, he started the exploiter in a screen-session with a target network as parameter. Then the attacker detached the session and logged off. Later when he came back, he attached the session again to see the results. Since the Honeywall blocked all attacks, no systems could be compromised. The attacker did not realize the intervention, downloaded and installed at 10:40 pm a "socksify" proxy which was configured without any restrictions. With this service anybody could use the Honeypot as a proxy for spreading spam or anonymous connections to any other systems. During the honeynet's online time, it was never used.
On November 23, 2004, the attacker came back at 2:25 pm. He added the user "ro" and installed another rootkit. In a side note we present the recording of this session captured by the snort binary logging.
At 4:40 pm, the attacker downloaded the archive willson.tgz. This file includes already finished webpages similar to the spam.tgz archive. The attacker installed them in the document root directory of the webserver. Now this Honeypot could be used for phishing attacks. By calling the startup page, you get a login page that looks like the original login page. While unrelated to the incident we report, a recent example illustrating the similarity of a phishing data entry form to compare to the acutal site can be found here.
The input of this form will be rudimentary checked with the help of a small PHP-script
/tmp/User.doc and the next page will be shown. On this page, the victim is tricked into entering personal information. All input will be checked and if one is not according to the condition, an error page will be shown. This error page does not attempt to mimic the real error page and most victims would likely become suspicious of the fake web site at this point.
With the help of the following validation script, the data entered into the form is checked. The resulting page of the validation process is not interpreted by the webserver because Apache does not accept
.dll files as PHP files by default. The attacker forgot to set the "AddType" variable of the Apache server to interpret
.dll files with the PHP-engine. The next activity of the attacker was downloading an archive called banksend.tgz. This file includes a PHP script for sending mails:
Please follow the link below and renew your account information.

 https://internetbanking.bank.com

At this point of time we decided to block outgoing TCP ports 25 and 443 so that no victim would suffer from the phishing attacks. The attacker probably noticed that we blocked outgoing connections and concluded that something weird was happening. He never came back and on Decembers 8, 2004, the honeynet went offline for further analysis.
What else did we find?
We found archives which contained pre-packaged pages for other major banks. These pages are used for gathering credit card numbers from the victims. For example, in one case the form input will be checked with the help of JavaScript and the only condition is that the input fields are not blank. The next script sends the data to the attacker:

Esophageal Reflux and gastric cancer in children
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My daughter is 10 and suffers about four to five times a year of reflux and gastric problems. Her reflux and gastric problems are due to a lot of antibiotics that have been given with treatments of omeprazole and other medicines for more than a year. Can children suffer from cancer of the stomach or esophagus?
Anna T. Meadows, MD, Pediatric Oncologist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Director of the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania's Survivorship Research Program, responds:
Cancer of the esophagus and stomach are so rare in children that we do not even consider it as a potential diagnosis in most circumstances. Except for children with unusual other diseases (e.g., AIDS), we have never seen it in otherwise healthy children. Reflux should be treated and a gastroenterologist is the person to ask about what's best.

YouTuber ferlessleedr is a LEGO store employee and a Portal fan, so he decided to merge his passions to create this incredible 2000-piece replica Portal gun, which he's brought to this week's CONvergence in Minneapolis. With changing orange and blue lights and LEGO Mindstorm-powered prongs, this may be the coolest Portal gun short of one that shoots actual portals.

GOP to Obama: If you can delay health care, so can we
Republicans will make another move Wednesday to damage the national health care law they derisively call Obamacare. This time, they're being aided by the champion of the measure, President Barack Obama.
With Obama's recent move to postpone one part of the law as an opening, the Republican-ruled House of Representatives is expected to vote Wednesday to delay more key parts of the contentious measure before it can take full effect.
The move is the latest in a sweeping legislative and political campaign to weaken the 2010 law and raise even more opposition in the eyes of an already skeptical nation, especially as it heads into 2014 elections that will decide control of the Congress and set the stage for the 2016 campaign for the White House.
The national party is targeting eight vulnerable Democrats from Alaska to North Carolina up for re-election next year for supporting the law. One major conservative group, Americans for Prosperity, began airing TV ads in key states on the potential dire consequences of the law while another, FreedomWorks, started a national campaign to burn your "Obamacare Draft Card" or peacefully opt out of the law. On Capitol Hill, there are multiple efforts to investigate, repeal, delay.
Republicans probably won't succeed in significantly changing the law – a Democratic-controlled Senate prevents that – but they hope to put a dent in Obama's signature domestic achievement and reap any benefits at the ballot box next year.
Judy Feder, a professor of public policy at Georgetown University who's a nationally recognized leader in health policy, said Republicans were taking advantage of a somewhat minor one-year delay that was "well received by everyone except Republican lawmakers."
"It's politics," she said. "They want to stir confusion and negative feelings. They want to keep it from working."
It's not a one-sided clash: The administration and its Democratic allies have launched their own national campaign to sell the law.
But the measure remains unpopular. Fifty-two percent of Americans disapprove of the health care law, according to a Gallup poll this month, up from 45 percent last November.
Since the Democratic-controlled Congress passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act without Republican support in 2010, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the law last year and Obama won re-election. That did nothing to settle one of the most contentious debates in the nation's capital.
The House has voted 37 times to repeal the law. Some GOP governors have rejected efforts to expand Medicaid, the government-run health program targeted for expansion in the measure, and have opposed setting up the required new marketplaces where individuals can buy insurance.
The Republican strategy took on renewed urgency when the Obama administration quietly announced that it would delay the requirement that larger employers offer workers insurance – the so-called employer mandate – on the Treasury Department's website just before the long Independence Day weekend.
"It's a train wreck," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. "And even the administration knows that this law is unworkable."
Republicans accuse Obama of delaying the employer mandate to shield vulnerable Democrats from any problems the law might cause before the 2014 elections.
But White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said it wasn't unusual to alter the schedule of a complex new law after receiving feedback from those involved – in this case employers – and he charged that Republicans were merely trying to further a political agenda.
"They want to try everything they can to undermine the implementation of this law and the reception by the American people of the benefits that they would gain from this law, even though it has been passed by both houses of Congress, it has been signed into law by the president and has been upheld by the Supreme Court," Carney said. "All they say is do away with Obamacare because it's Obamacare."
The House will hold a pair of back-to-back votes Wednesday on whether to delay insurance mandates for both employers and individuals. Republicans want to put Democrats on the spot, thinking they'll have a difficult time voting to give a reprieve to businesses and not individuals.
"That fairness issue is particularly potent," said Kevin Madden, a Republican consultant who used to work for Boehner in the House and for 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
They are busily sending out tweets, news releases and videos on the perils of Obamacare. The latest from the Republican National Committee is a list of numbers on taxes and spending under the header "Obamacare by the Numbers, Coordinates for a Train Wreck."
The Democratic Governors Association countered the next day: "Could it be that the real reason Republicans are so desperate to badmouth, block and obstruct Obamacare is that they are terrified that Obamacare just might succeed?"
Drew Lieberman, a Democratic political consultant, said health care would be an issue during the 2014 elections, but not in the same way it was in 2010 and 2012. "It's a significant attack, but I don't think it's a silver bullet that Republicans can win an election on," he said.
Still, Republican efforts aren't strong enough for some conservatives. A slew of right-leaning groups want lawmakers to "keep their eyes on the prize": full repeal.
"Why delay, when we should repeal?" Club for Growth President Chris Chocola asked. "Obamacare is an awful, anti-growth law today, it will be bad tomorrow and it will certainly still be bad a year from now."

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – A packed house that left standing room only at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium saw the UC Santa Barbara baseball team go toe-to-toe with No. 23 Oregon State on Friday afternoon in the inaugural game for new UCSB head coach Andrew Checketts, but it was two costly errors that allowed the Beavers to top the Gauchos, 7-3.
A throwing error in the fourth inning by shortstop Steven Moon opened the doors for OSU and then a throwing error by reliever Jared Wilson in the eighth gave the Beavers a little more breathing room as UCSB pitchers were only touched for two earned runs.
Senior right-hander Matt Vedo escaped a bases-loaded nobody-out jam in the first inning and retired 10 of the next 11 batters, but with one out in the fourth Moon let a throw sail on a routine grounder to give OSU some life. Vedo then walked the next two batters to load the bases and No. 9 hitter John Tommasini lined a two-run double to left-center field to open the scoring.
After another walk and a hit batter brought a run in, cleanup hitter Jake Rodriguez hit a two-run single to give the Beavers a 5-0 lead.
Vedo pitched into the fifth and struck out eight hitters, but it was six walks a hit batter and two wild pitches that really undid his 2012 debut.
The Gauchos got a run back in the fifth when Joey Wallace laid down a bunt single to score Ryan Palermo and then consecutive doubles by Lance Roenicke and Brandon Trinkwon in the sixth plated another run. Joe Winterburn's base hit scored Trinkwon moments later and made it 5-3.
Solid relief pitching from Zak Edgington kept OSU at bay, but on a sacrifice bunt attempt with two on in the eighth Jared Wilson skipped a throw past second baseman Peter Maris at first base, bringing in two more Beavers.
Palermo and Roenicke each had two hits for UCSB and Brett Vertigan, in his Gaucho debut, reached base three times.

The G.O.A.F. (the Golden Order of the Alchemist Fuzz) is a hand-wired dynamic heavy fuzz with massive "buzzy/trebly" tones imparted by NOS AC125 and Russian Germanium transistors and a vintage octave up effect. The G.O.A.F. circuit is our take on the legendary Baldwin Burns Buzzaround fuzz with a twist. Hand-selected components and extensive listening to each component yields one insane Kung Fu Fuzz Master. If you're looking for a typical fuzz, go elsewhere. The G.O.A.F. aspires to reach insane-o-matic heights.
See the G.O.A.F demo video:
G.O.A.F. Picture
G.O.A.F. controls include:
- Master Volume
- Tone Shape or "Balance" – primarily a mid-range control
- Fuzz/Sustain Amount – Note: if turned all the way to the left you will not hear your guitar
- Timbre/Tone/Attack Knob – primarily a treble control
- Dual Footswitches: Right footswitch (Red LED) turns Fuzz on/off; Left Footswitch (Green LED) turns Vintage Octave on/off.
- Vintage Octave can be used without the fuzz. Note if you are only using the Vintage Octave the Master Volume will not adjust Master Volume without the Fuzz footswitch on as well.
The G.O.A.F. Fuzz is the first of several Massive FX Pedals releases planned for 2017. Upcoming models will feature classic designs with modern features. All component and design decisions are based on tone with emphatic disregard for cost or compromise resulting in stunning tonal excess.
Massive FX pedals include:
- Hand crafted in Los Angeles, CA USA
- 100% Analog in design, several models utilize rare NOS vintage components such as AC125 and OC44, and hand matched silicon transistors.
- High-end components such as Lumberg "enclosed" input/output jacks and Potentiometer dust caps for years of noise-free operation.
- Unique artwork and hand-applied finish on Powder Coated enclosures
- Each pedal's inside back plate is hand numbered by former "The Simpsons" cartoonist/artist Tom Winkler in debut versions of Massive FX Pedals.
All Massive FX Pedals are sold direct at www.massivefxpedals.com

Who doesn't love a nice heaping, steaming plate of biscuits & gravy? It's one of those breakfasts (and every now and then dinner), that I love to make on special occaisions.
My biscuits are, of course, from a recipe book - in this case Betty Crocker. It's a basic, easy to make baking-powder biscuit (think store bought biscuit mixes), that is so easy, you might just wonder why you ever bought a mix!
Baking Powder Biscuits (very easily double, tripled and so on):
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk
Mix the dry ingredients in at least a medium bowl, then cut in shortening by criss-crossing two knivse or using a pastry blender (an indispensible kitchen tool!), until you have a fine, crumbly mixture. Add milk, and combine until the sticky dough leaves the sides of the bowl.
You can roll out if you like, but I'm a fan of drop biscuits. I drop by probably 2-TBSP full of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits start to turn golden-brown.
While the biscuits are baking, make your gravy!
Brown 1 pound of your favorite (preferably mild) bulk sausage. Chop it up as finely as you like it to be.
Add about 4-TBSP butter and stir with sausage until melted.
Then, take 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of flour and add 1 TBSP at a time, stirring with sausage and melted butter until all the flour has been incorporated.*
Add 4 cups of milk, and slowly bring to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Boil for at least 1 minute, or until the preferred thickness has been reached.
Serve over piping hot biscuits!
* By adding the flour in slowly, you allow the flour to take on the flavor of the sausage you're using, and thus avoiding the pasty-tasting-gravy trap.

I ran across this excellent article, Birth of the Lisa, in my news reader and I didn't want to bury it in a pile of links tomorrow morning where a lot of people might miss it. It follows the Lisa's development from the the inspiration at Xerox PARC to the publicity campaign that launched it. What's most interesting is the details of what went on at Xerox. Most people think that Apple waltzed in, stole all the good stuff from clueless Xerox, and laughed all the way to the bank. It turns out it wasn't that cut and dried:
Steve Jobs, convinced that the technology at PARC could help Apple usher in the eighties, offered Xerox a killer deal. Apple, which was still privately owned at the time, would allow Xerox to invest $1 million, which was sure to soar in value when the company went public in 1981 for two guided tours of PARC's technology. Xerox happily accepted, and gave Steve and a team of engineers from the Lisa project a tour of the technologies at PARC.
Just to spoil the ending for you, the Lisa was much too expensive compared to its competition and finally went the way of the dodo approximately 3 years after launch.

Watersheds are areas of land with waterways that flow to a common destination. The boundaries between watersheds are elevated areas called divides. In this Atlas, the watersheds are composed of groups of creeks that flow to a single bay or group of bays. Drainage basins are subunits of watersheds and are defined by the main creek that flows through them. Sarasota County has five watersheds, named after the bays or river, and 28 drainage basins, named after the creeks. Stormwater improvements to reduce flooding and improve water quality are based on the drainage basin unit. Learn more about watersheds »

Drivers are being warned about a serious motorway crash which has caused the carriageway to be closed off in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire this afternoon (October 24).
The southbound carriageway of the M1 between J27 for Annesley and J28 for Alfreton has been closed off following the collision.
Highways England has put a symbol-led diversion in place until the incident is cleared up.
Motorists are being advised to exit the motorway at J28 to follow the A38 (south west) to the junction with the A610 and then follow this road to the south east.
They will then be able to rejoin the motorway at Junction 26.
The Northbound carriageway was also blocked due to an emergency air ambulance landing, but is now re-open.
A spokesman for Derbyshire Constabulary said the motorway may have to be closed for a period of time.
WEATHER: Heavy rain in the East Midlands
