HISD charter wage talent war PRINCIPALS: Morale questions raised
Paul Castro had a promising career in the Houston Independent School District. At 29, he landed his first principal job. He used to think he'd retire from HISD, he said.
But Castro made an abrupt exit last summer. He got a promotion at KIPP, Houston's fast-growing charter school chain. In a recent interview, Castro said he felt frustrated because he thought Superintendent Terry Grier was reining in his power as a principal.
KIPP, in competition with HISD for students, increasingly is wooing high-level staff, too. Mike Feinberg, cofounder and superintendent of KIPP Houston, calls the contest for administrators "a talent war."
Since last year, at least 13 principals, administrators and central office workers have left HISD for KIPP, with some getting raises and promotions and others taking pay cuts. One has returned to the district, and another exited KIPP after a year.
Another popular charter school, YES Prep, has hired two HISD principals. HISD has poached at least one administrator from KIPP.
The turnover has some HISD trustees worried about morale under Grier, at the helm nearly two years.
"People leaving are young people who we've grown. They speak of their real regret about leaving," said Trustee Anna Eastman. "I think it's telling. We need to be listening to our employees and be aware if they are not satisfied, challenged or feeling valued in their jobs."
The charter school movement, launched in Texas in the mid-1990s, is built on the idea that competition is good for public education. Charter schools get taxpayer money but have more freedom than traditional districts.
"Part of our theory of change is we want to recruit, we want to hire … in a highly ethical way," said Feinberg, a former HISD teacher. "However, we definitely want to create within the public education system in Houston, a talent war - a war for talent."
Leaders a hot commodity
In June, Feinberg invited Grier to breakfast, trying to keep the battle friendly after Grier posted on Twitter an article critical of KIPP.
"There's no question, if they (KIPP) could grow their own, they wouldn't be recruiting from us," Grier said.
Similar rivalries are playing out in other hotbeds for charter schools. In Ohio, KIPP swiped a young principal from another charter school in Dayton, recalled Terry Ryan, a vice president for the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, which authorizes charter schools.
"It's clear," Ryan said, "that a great school leader is a hot commodity."
HISD officials, reluctant to talk about specific employees, said privately that some who left for the charter schools weren't top performers, and one who asked to return was denied. Two worked at campuses that Grier tapped for his reform program, Apollo.
"While I hate to lose good people, and we have lost several to the charter organizations," Grier wrote in a memo to principals in May, "I believe that our best principals continue to work in HISD and I want to keep it that way."
At that time, HISD board member Mike Lunceford was expressing concern about the departure of principals from two top-rated schools in his district, Twain Elementary and Johnston Middle.
"HISD does not need to become the farm club for KIPP," Lunceford said.
33 principals gone
HISD has lost at least 33, or 13 percent, of its principals so far this year. Most resigned or retired, and three received notice their contracts would not be renewed.
KIPP lost four of its 18 principals this year, Feinberg said.
Castro, a 16-year HISD employee, left the district a few months after Grier moved him mid-year from Westside High School to Lee High. Castro said he was drafting an improvement plan for the long-troubled campus, but Grier was pushing a standardized reform model.
"What's hard," Castro said, "is when you have a group of leaders who've been raised with a lot of latitude in their decision-making and that gets reined in."
Castro was one of six administrators from HISD's west region to join KIPP in the last two years. He said he's recruited two HISD teachers, one successfully, but former coworkers have approached him as well.
"They say, 'You look better,'" said Castro, 39. "Every day is fun, and I'm working as hard if not harder than I've ever worked in my life. People see that and go, 'I want to play on that team.'"
KIPP area of success
Of HISD's 255 principals, KIPP landed 10 in two years, with one returning. One principal supervisor is headed to KIPP, and two employees from the policy and compensation departments are there.
"Anytime you lose one great principal, absolutely we don't want to have that happen," HISD Trustee Greg Meyers said. "But we have strong principals still in our district."
HISD remains the giant, with 204,000 students and 30,000 employees. KIPP has enrolled about 7,000 students in its Houston campuses next year; of those, more than 3,800 are zoned to HISD with the rest from other districts.
John Allen, a 20-year HISD employee, said KIPP's success with poor, minority children intrigued him. He talked to Castro about an opening and agreed to a nearly $6,000 salary cut for a similar job at KIPP. Grier's administration had promoted Allen last year to supervise principals.
"I think Dr. Grier has done some really good things for HISD," said Allen, 48. "Just like with any large institution, there are always going to be challenges."
2010 star returns to HISD
Pamela Farinas said she thought she had left HISD last year for her dream job, running a KIPP school in the disadvantaged Third Ward, where she had grown up.
But Farinas, named HISD's top principal in the west region in 2010, soon was begging to return. She said KIPP seemed to lack basic systems, to help gifted students, for example. Her main gripe was that 61 percent of the students at her KIPP school weren't from the neighborhood.
"I was not serving the kids I had signed up to serve," said Farinas, 39. "When I'm calling parents and they're Dr. So-and-So, these are not kids who need me to be their advocate."
Six months later, she was back in HISD as principal of Gregory-Lincoln.
"We're in the place where KIPP is growing and HISD is having to raise the bar," said Rana Boone, a new dean at Sharpstown High who came from KIPP. "We're having dialogue about how we improve public education in this city. It's a great place to be, even if it's uncomfortable."

. . . there's no doubting the passion and conviction of these performances. The end results are deeply moving . . . Interwoven with these are some outstanding recent recordings: Anne Sofie von Otter, whose seductive, dark-hued mezzo emotively underscores Dowland's dolour; Barbara Bonney, who offers intelligent, mellifluous singing, sensitively accompanied by lutenist Jacob Heringman; and Emma Kirkby and lutenist Anthony Rooley, whose love affair with this repertoire has inspired unfailingly stylish performances for over 30 years . . . it makes a nostalgic and inspiring testimony to Dowland's versatility.
The material is in general arranged sensibly . . . Attention is paid to regularly varying textures . . . With a tenor, countertenor, two sopranos, and a mezzo each contributing one or more songs, there is no aural fatigue. Most of the content is excellent. The Bonney and Otter albums combine strong musicianship with an ability to communicate "face" on an intimate scale, which is just what their material needs . . . Söllscher's clean, spirited performances add a light but mellow touch . . .
... Fascinantes siempre Emma Kirkby, el eficaz tándem Karamazov-Söllscher, que se dobla a sí mismo en uno de los cortes.

Increased attendance and encouraging sales reports marked the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association's (RVIA) 60th California RV Show, held Oct. 12–21 at the Fairplex in Pomona.
Total attendance for the 10-day event was 20,756, a rise of better than 6% over last year, according to RVIA Western Show Director Tom Gaither. Those numbers were kick-started by a strong opening weekend that saw attendance up by nearly 15% over 2011.
"We started quickly with a strong opening weekend that saw attendance really jump on Friday and Saturday before falling back a little on Sunday due to the extreme heat that day," said RVIA's Western Show Director Tom Gaither. "Overall, I'm really pleased with the attendance, business activity and the optimistic attitude of exhibitors and attendees."
In addition to the higher attendance, RV dealers at the show reported a more robust sales environment. "We were very pleased with the results at this year's show," said Mark Rosenbaum of Mike Thompson's RV. "We sold 248 units and hit $21 million in sales, which is a 67% jump over last year. We're in a great business, selling fun, family and vacation time, and that is one thing that you will never be able to take away from the American public no matter what's going on in the world."
"We had one of our best shows in several years," added Beau Brixey, general manager of Camping World of Valencia. "The crowds coming through the aisles were exciting to see and sales were good. We were busy everyday with test drives and writing deals for some of everything – small trailers, fifth-wheels and motorhomes."
"Sales were definitely up this year," said Frankie Barouti, vice president of Giant RV, which has locations throughout southern California. "We were close to our 2011 totals midway through the show."
Exhibitors were also impressed with a number of enhancements made to improve the show experience. This included a new show layout that featured a central entry point through a mock campground; an app for Apple and smartphone users; an RV test drive area; and the RV Factory showcase.
"We really liked the new floorplan design and the new entrance to the show, which really put attendees in an RV and camping mood" said Barouti. "The test drive area worked great for our customers too."
The California RV Show is the largest consumer show on the West Coast with exhibits spanning 572,100 square feet and more than 925 RVs on display.
The 61st California RV Show is scheduled to take place at the Fairplex in Pomona from Oct. 11–20, 2013. For more information , visit www.TheBestRVShow.com.

ZFS administration has been designed with simplicity in mind. Among the design goals is to reduce the number of commands needed to create a usable file system. For example, when you create a new pool, a new ZFS file system is created and mounted automatically.
The following example shows how to create a basic mirrored storage pool named tank and a ZFS file system named tank in one command. Assume that the whole disks /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 and /dev/dsk/c2t0d0 are available for use.
# zpool create tank mirror c1t0d0 c2t0d0
For more information about redundant ZFS pool configurations, see Replication Features of a ZFS Storage Pool.
The new ZFS file system, tank, can use available disk space as needed, and is automatically mounted at /tank.
# mkfile 100m /tank/foo # df -h /tank Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on tank 80G 100M 80G 1% /tank
Within a pool, you probably want to create additional file systems. File systems provide points of administration that enable you to manage different sets of data within the same pool.
The following example shows how to create a file system named fs in the storage pool tank.
# zfs create tank/fs
The new ZFS file system, tank/fs, can use available disk space as needed, and is automatically mounted at /tank/fs.
# mkfile 100m /tank/fs/foo # df -h /tank/fs Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on tank/fs 80G 100M 80G 1% /tank/fs
Typically, you want to create and organize a hierarchy of file systems that matches your organizational needs. For information about creating a hierarchy of ZFS file systems, see Creating a ZFS File System Hierarchy.

British PM Wants to Ban Gay TV Kisses | Entertainment News | Advocate.com.
"The Sun reports that Cameron, the Conservative leader who attended the royal wedding last week, supports a ban on same-sex kisses during the "pre-watershed" viewing hours before 9 p.m. An independent review may recommend the restriction. "
If he really wants to do this, fine. But I want 'straight', man-woman, kisses to be banned as well. Why the hell should I have to watch that?
I am willing to support some small-C conservative positions IF they are applied TO EVERYONE.
What is the problem with same-sex kisses? They have no different an effect than opposite-sex kisses. Ban both, or ban neither, Cameron. I favour, ban neither.
This is not a good move for Cameron – frankly, he's got enough of a homophobic reputation. He may be the man who apologised for Section 28, the infamous amendment to the Local Government Act 1986 which meant county council's "Shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality" or "promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship"", but he is also the man who repeatedly attacked Labour's attempts to repeal it in 2000, and supported Section 28 in 2003, and voted for a Conservative amendment which was "Section 28 by the back door".
If you care one iota about equal rights for gay people, and every other disadvantaged group in society, if you support Justice, Equality, and Democracy – Oppose Cameron. At every turn. This just shows, the Tories will never, never change.

Jefferies: Health Care REITS Benefit From Doc Fix; A Deal for HCP?
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Last week REITS were net gainers while the S&P 500 slipped 0.5%, and Jefferies' Omotayo Okusanya and his team have a roundup looking at trends in the space, highlighting the health care space.
Okusanya writes that the temporary Doc Fix—approved by the House of Representatives last week and expected to be approved in the Senate today—should help to keep bears away from health care REITs, and it comes with the good news that Medicare funding won't be sacrificed to pay for the fix.
The temporary patch is a near-term win for healthcare providers that have meaningful exposure to Medicare (i.e. Hospitals/SNFs) which should reduce reimbursement related risk in HC REIT stocks such as Medical Properties Trust (MPW), Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI), Sabra Healthcare (SBRA), Aviv REIT (AVIV) & HCP (HCP). That said, the temporary patch is just for a year, so conversation about a permanent solution (which may still take money away from SNFs and hospitals) are likely to re-emerge in 1Q15.
Okusanya also writes that HCP is said to be readying mezzanine financing for Formation Capital's expected purchase of HC-One in the UK for approximately £550M ($900M). This investment would "mark the first investment by HCP since Lauralee Martin was hired as CEO, and is likely to be a catalyst for the stock given the typically highly accretive nature of mezz financing to HCP's earnings."

Product Description
The Texas Instruments TI-30X IIS 2-Line Scientific Calculator features two-line display and other advanced features users get with the TI-30X IIS. The display shows the equation you are creating on the top line, and the numbers or symbols you are currently entering on the second line. Once the equation is solved, the results are displayed on the second line, and you can use the four arrow keys on the front of the calculator to edit the original equation in any way you like for a recalculation. Better still, pressing the up arrow repeatedly lets you browse through a cache of dozens of previous calculations, meaning you can look back to see the answer to a problem. The device uses solar power when possible but can fall back on the internal batteries (which are included) if there isn't enough light. There are three angle modes (degrees, radians, and grads), scientific and engineering notation modes, and even one- or two-variable statistical modes. Five variables can also be assigned to their own memory slots. The calculator comes with a Snap-On cover that fits on the back of the device.
Key Features:
- Two-line display
- Fraction features
- Conversions
- Basic scientific and trigonometric functions
- Edit, cut, and paste entries
- Solar and battery powered

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A book of essays as raw and honest as anyone has ever produced." — Lena Dunham, Lenny Letter In the spirit of Amy Poehler's Yes Please, Lena Dunham's Not That Kind of Girl, and Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist, a powerful collection of essays about gender, sexuality, race, beauty, Hollywood, and what it means to be a modern woman. One month before the release of the highly anticipated film The Birth of a Nation, actress Gabrielle Union shook the world with a vulnerable and impassioned editorial in which she urged our society to have compassion for victims of sexual violence. In the wake of rape allegations made against director and actor Nate Parker, Union–a forty-four-year-old actress who launched her career with roles in iconic '90s movies–instantly became the insightful, outspoken actress that Hollywood has been desperately awaiting. With honesty and heartbreaking wisdom, she revealed her own trauma as a victim of sexual assault: "It is for you that I am speaking. This is real. We are real." In this moving collection of thought provoking essays infused with her unique wisdom and deep humor, Union uses that same fearlessness to tell astonishingly personal and true stories about power, color, gender, feminism, and fame. Union tackles a range of experiences, including bullying, beauty standards, and competition between women in Hollywood, growing up in white California suburbia and then spending summers with her black relatives in Nebraska, coping with crushes, puberty, and the divorce of her parents. Genuine and perceptive, Union bravely lays herself bare, uncovering a complex and courageous life of self-doubt and self-discovery with incredible poise and brutal honesty. Throughout, she compels us to be ethical and empathetic, and reminds us of the importance of confidence, self-awareness, and the power of sharing truth, laughter, and support.
From the author of The Wedding Date comes a new novel about the perils of public proposals and the beauty of an unexpected second chance.When Nik Paterson went to the Dodgers game with her C-list actor boyfriend, Ford, for his birthday, she expected nothing more than a few boring hours with him and his bros. She certainly didn't expect a Jumbotron proposal. Or her name to be misspelled. Or to go viral in minutes… Carlos Ibarra wants to hang out with his sister, catch a Dodgers game, and relax for once.

An inspiring collection of essays by black women writers, curated by the founder of the popular book club Well-Read Black Girl, on the importance of recognizing ourselves in literature.Remember that moment when you first encountered a character who seemed to be written just for you? That feeling of belonging can stick with readers the rest of their lives–but it doesn't come around as frequently for all of us. In this timely anthology, "well-read black girl" Glory Edim brings together original essays by some of our best black female writers and creative voices to shine a light on how we search for ourselves in literature, and how important it is that everyone–no matter their gender, race, religion, or abilities–can find themselves there.
An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African-American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare. In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same.
Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable, beautifully told story of the friendship between two young boys growing up n Kabul. Rasided in the same household and sharing the same wet nurse, Amir and Hassan nonetheless grow up in different worlds: Amir is the son of a prominent and wealthy man, while Hassan, the son of Amir's father's servent, is a Hazara, member of a shunned ethnic minority. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them. When the Soviets invade and Amir and his father flee the country of a new life in California, Amir thinks that he has escaped his past. And yet he cannot leave the memory of Hassan behind him. The Kite Runner is a novel about friendship, betrayal, and the price of loyalty. It is about the bonds between fathers and sons, and the power of fathers over sons – their love, their sacrifices, and their lies. Written against a backdrop of history that has not been told in fiction before, The Kite Runner describes the rich culture and beauty of a land in the process of being destroyed. But with the devestation, Khaled Hosseini also gives us hope: through the novel's faith in power of reading and storytelling, and in the possibilities he shows for redemption.
Staring unflinchingly into the abyss of slavery, this spellbinding novel transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe's new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Filled with bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope, Beloved is a towering achievement by Nobel Prize laureate Toni Morrison.

At the private air terminal at Logan Airport in Boston early Wednesday, men in unwrinkled suits sank into plush leather chairs as they waited to board Gulfstream jets, trading consolations over Mitt Romney's loss the day before.
"All I can say is the American people have spoken," said Kenneth Langone, co-founder of Home Depot and one of Mr. Romney's top fund-raisers, briskly plucking off his hat and settling into a couch.
The biggest single donor in political history, the casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, mingled with other Romney backers at a postelection breakfast, fresh off a large gamble gone bad. Of the eight candidates he supported with tens of millions of dollars in contributions to "super PACs," none were victorious on Tuesday.
And as calls came in on Wednesday from some of the donors who had poured more than $300 million into the pair of big-spending outside groups founded in part by Karl Rove — perhaps the leading political entrepreneur of the super PAC era — he offered them a grim upside: without us, the race would not have been as close as it was.
The most expensive election in American history drew to a close this week with a price tag estimated at more than $6 billion, propelled by legal and regulatory decisions that allowed wealthy donors to pour record amounts of cash into races around the country.
But while outside spending affected the election in innumerable ways — reshaping the Republican presidential nominating contest, clogging the airwaves with unprecedented amounts of negative advertising and shoring up embattled Republican incumbents in the House — the prizes most sought by the emerging class of megadonors remained outside their grasp. President Obama will return to the White House in January, and the Democrats have strengthened their lock on the Senate.
The election's most lavishly self-financed candidate fared no better. Linda E. McMahon, a Connecticut Republican who is a former professional wrestling executive, spent close to $100 million — nearly all of it her own money — on two races for the Senate, conceding defeat on Tuesday for the second time in three years.
"Money is a necessary condition for electoral success," said Bob Biersack, a senior fellow at the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign spending. "But it's not sufficient, and it's never been."
Even by the flush standards of a campaign in which the two presidential candidates raised $1 billion each, the scale of outside spending was staggering: more than $1 billion all told, about triple the amount in 2010.
Mr. Obama faced at least $386 million in negative advertising from super PACs and other outside spenders, more than double what the groups supporting him spent on the airwaves. Outside groups spent more than $37 million in Virginia's Senate race and $30 million in Ohio's, a majority to aid the Republican candidates.
The bulk of that outside money came from a relatively small group of wealthy donors, unleashed by the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which allowed unlimited contributions to super PACs. Harold Simmons, a Texas industrialist, gave $26.9 million to super PACs backing Mr. Romney and Republican candidates for the Senate. Joe Ricketts, the owner of the Chicago Cubs, spent close to $13 million to bankroll a super PAC attacking Mr. Obama over federal spending.
Bob Perry, a Texas homebuilder, poured more than $21 million into super PACs active in the presidential race and the Senate battles in Florida and Virginia, where Democrats narrowly prevailed. A donor network marshaled by Charles and David Koch, the billionaire industrialists and conservative philanthropists, reportedly sought to raise $400 million for tax-exempt groups that are not required to disclose their spending.
Mr. Adelson's giving to super PACs and other outside groups came to more than $60 million, though in public Mr. Adelson did not seem overly concerned about the paltry returns on his investment.
"Paying bills," Mr. Adelson said on Tuesday night when asked by a Norwegian reporter how he thought his donations had been spent. "That's how you spend money. Either that or become a Jewish husband — you spend a lot of money."
Flush with cash, Republican-leaning groups outspent Democratic ones by an even greater margin than in 2010. But rather than produce a major partisan imbalance, the money merely evened the playing field in many races.
In several competitive Senate races, high spending by outside groups was offset to a large extent with stronger fund-raising by Democratic candidates, assisted at the margins by Democratic super PACs. For much of the fall, Mr. Obama and Democratic groups broadcast at least as many ads, and sometimes more, in swing states than Mr. Romney and his allied groups, in part because Mr. Obama was able to secure lower ad rates by paying for most of the advertising himself. Mr. Romney relied far more on outside groups, which must pay higher rates.
Haley Barbour, a former Mississippi governor who helped Mr. Rove raise money for American Crossroads and its sister group, Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies, said that without a blitz of coordinated anti-Obama advertising in the summer, the campaign would not have been as competitive.
"I believe that some of that money actually kept Romney from getting beat down by the carpet-bombing he underwent from the Obama forces," Mr. Barbour said. "I did look at it more as us trying to keep our candidates from getting swamped, like what happened to McCain."
Some advocates for tighter campaign financing regulations argued that who won or lost was beside the point. The danger, they argued, is that in the post-Citizens United world, candidates and officeholders on both sides of the aisle are far more beholden to the wealthy individuals who can finance large-scale independent spending.
"Unlimited contributions and secret money in American politics have resulted in the past in scandal and the corruption of government decisions," said Fred Wertheimer, the president of Democracy 21, a watchdog group. "This will happen again in the future."
But on Wednesday, at least, the nation's megadonors returned home with lighter wallets and few victories.
As the morning wore on at Logan Airport, more guests from Mr. Romney's election-night party at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center trickled in, lugging garment bags and forming a small line at the security checkpoint.
"It's going to be a long flight home, isn't it?" said one person, who asked not to be identified.
The investor Julian Robertson, who held fund-raisers for Mr. Romney and gave more than $2 million to a pro-Romney super PAC, arrived with several companions. Mr. Robertson spotted an acquaintance: Emil W. Henry Jr., an economic adviser and a fund-raiser for Mr. Romney, to whom Mr. Robertson had offered a ride on his charter.
"Aww, group hug," Mr. Henry said.

| This is an external module.
Please note that it may or may not work with the current release (1.7.5).
This module is not included in the default ZNC installation, and you will need to manually compile it before you can load this module.
Contact the author if you have any questions, but feel free to ask on #znc (chat.freenode.net). Someone might be able to help you there.
This module allows you to encrypt private conversations using the OTR protocol. Several popular IRC clients support OTR (usually requiring a plugin).
For more information about OTR, see https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/ and https://otr.im/.
- 1 Installing
- 2 Usage
- 3 Security considerations
- 4 Bugs
In order to compile the module you need to have libotr installed, including the development headers. It should be sufficient to install the libotr5-dev package on Debian-based systems, or libotr-devel on Fedora-based distributions.
The module source is available at https://github.com/mmilata/znc-otr. You can download a tarball directly if you don't want to use git. Once you have the source code, compile the module by running make in znc-otr's directory (the module won't work if built using znc-buildmod). See Managing modules for instructions how to install and load the module.
If your ZNC is running on a virtual server (see security considerations) it is recommended to install an entropy-gathering daemon such as haveged. Otherwise the bouncer may get stuck waiting for the system to gather entropy.
To request OTR-encrypted conversation with someone, send them the message ?OTR? in a private conversation. If the request succeeds the module informs you about it and requests that you authenticate the other side if you haven't previously done so.
The module is controlled by sending commands to the *otr nick. The commands are listed below.
Please note that otr is a network module meaning that if your account has multiple IRC networks then each has its own instance of the module and its own *otr nick.
This user module takes no arguments.
Read loading modules to learn more about loading modules.
Prints the table of available commands together with their short description.
Shows the table of known fingerprints. The table has five columns:
- Peer - nick on this network the following fingerprints belong to
- State - the peer can be in three states:
- plaintext - OTR not active, messages are not encrypted
- encrypted - OTR active, private messages are encrypted
- finished - peer finished the OTR session but we did not (using the finish command) - messages are blocked
- Fingerprint - fingerprint of the private key used by the peer
- Act - if OTR is active for this nick, asterisk denotes the fingerprint corresponding to the private key used
- Trust - whether the fingerprint is trusted:
- not trusted - default state for new unknown fingerprint
- manual - fingerprint set as trusted using the trust command
- shared secret - fingerprint set as trusted using the auth or authq command
/msg *otr info <*otr> +-------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+-----+---------------+ <*otr> | Peer | State | Fingerprint | Act | Trust | <*otr> +-------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+-----+---------------+ <*otr> | bob | plaintext | 94A1353B 60A58E73 82CE8999 CBBD7B92 5E9EBB87 | | manual | <*otr> | carol | encrypted | 378A8445 3FC3933C 73C917C8 BFE4C18B 5CE65CFC | * | shared secret | <*otr> | | | AEB4DEDE 5D025A1C 6A735BD5 7D82385A 7E03E21D | | not trusted | <*otr> +-------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+-----+---------------+ <*otr> Your fingerprint: A305FE90 2B4A8038 03BF89F7 5BBD5595 4B9D209A.
In this example, we know one fingerprint from bob which we manually verified. We currently don't have OTR-encrypted conversation with bob. We have active OTR session with carol for whom we have two known fingerprints - the first one corresponds to the carol's private key used in our current conversation and has been verified using the OTR shared secret authentication mechanism. The other fingerprint is not currently used (only one is used at a time) and we did not verify it really belongs to carol.
trust <nick|fingerprint>
If the argument is nick and we have OTR conversation with nick, their current fingerprint is marked as trusted. You can pass the hexadecimal value directly instead of the nick it belongs to.
You should only use this command after verifying over another channel (e.g. phone, in person) that it is indeed the fingerprint used by your peer.
/msg *otr trust bob <*otr> [bob] Fingerprint 94A1353B 60A58E73 82CE8999 CBBD7B92 5E9EBB87 trusted! /msg *otr trust 378A8445 3FC3933C 73C917C8 BFE4C18B 5CE65CFC <*otr> [carol] Fingerprint 378A8445 3FC3933C 73C917C8 BFE4C18B 5CE65CFC trusted!
distrust <nick|fingerprint>
This works the same way as the trust command, except that it marks the fingerprint as not trusted.
finish <nick>
Terminates the OTR conversation with nick. They are notified that the conversation ended.
Note that when nick terminates the conversation first, you have to use this command as well (or start new OTR session). This is to prevent the situation when the other side ends the OTR session just before you hit Enter and send in plaintext something you assumed will be encrypted.
auth <nick> <secret>
Starts authentication with nick using a shared secret. So called socialist millionaire protocol is used to determine whether both of you know the same secret without disclosing it to each other.
This command is also used to reply to authentication requests started by the other side.
Example (you are alice):
<alice> Let's authenticate with the answer to following question: what is my favorite book? <alice> No capitals or punctuation. <bob> OK.
/msg *otr auth bob the old man and the sea <*otr> [bob] Initiated authentication. (bob now does something similar in his client) <*otr> [bob] Peer replied to authentication request. <*otr> [bob] Successfully authenticated.
authq <nick> <[question]> <secret>
This is similar as auth except that the question is sent as part of the authentication request. This allows graphical clients to e.g. display the question in a dialog box asking for the answer.
You have to enclose the question in a literal square brackets.
Please note that this form of shared secret authentication only works in clients that support OTRv3.
/msg *otr authq bob [What is my favorite book (no caps)?] the old man and the sea <*otr> [bob] Initiated authentication. (bob's client displays the question and he types the answer) <*otr> [bob] Peer replied to authentication request. <*otr> [bob] Successfully authenticated.
authabort <nick>
Abort ongoing shared secret authentication with nick.
genkey [--overwrite]
Generate new private key. You don't have to use this command directly as the key is automatically generated the first time it is needed.
Use with the --overwrite parameter to throw away the old key and generate a new one.
ignore [--remove] [nick]
This command is used to maintain list of nicks for which all OTR functionality is disabled. Wildcards can be used to match multiple nicks.
Useful when the other side does not like the whitespace OTR advertisements (e.g. NickServ on freenode) or when their OTR plugin is broken and causes crashes.
/msg *otr ignore <*otr> OTR is disabled for following nicks: <*otr> carol <*otr> elvis /msg *otr ignore Guest* <*otr> Added Guest* to OTR ignore list. /msg *otr ignore --remove carol <*otr> Removed carol from OTR ignore list /msg *otr ignore <*otr> elvis <*otr> Guest*
Security considerations
- In most cases it is best not to use this ZNC module and use OTR directly on the client you use to connect to the bouncer instead. This way you don't have to rely on the security of the server, which might be difficult to achieve.
- Use SSL to connect to the bouncer, otherwise the messages can be intercepted between ZNC and the client.
- Make sure to turn off logging BOTH on the bouncer (disable the [log] module) AND at the client you use to connect to the bouncer!
- It is recommended to only use this module if you are in full control of the ZNC server and are its only user. The bouncer admin, root user of the machine it runs on, and the admin of the virtual host (in case you are running on a VPS) all have access to your conversations and your private keys, which they can give to other people, either intentionally or by making mistakes with regard to security.
- By disregarding these security measures, you compromise your conversation partner's security as well as yours.
The quality of OTR implementation in IRC clients varies greatly. Sometimes the OTR conversation can get to a state where OTR needs to be restarted by using the finish command and then sending ?OTR? to your peer again.
- When issuing genkey on computer with not enough random bytes, genkey will hang indefinitely. You can verify this by gpg --gen-key filling values and finally you will get "Not enough random bytes available. Please do some other work to give the OS a chance to collect more entropy!" This occurs mainly when accesing znc host machine over ssh. Possible solutions: http://stackoverflow.com/q/12257653
You can report bugs on https://github.com/mmilata/znc-otr/issues or by contacting b42 on freenode.

(CNN) — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was hospitalized Sunday after doctors discovered a blood clot during a follow-up exam related to a concussion she suffered this month, her spokesman said.
She is expected to remain at New York Presbyterian Hospital for the next 48 hours so doctors can monitor her condition and treat her with anti-coagulants, said Philippe Reines, deputy assistant secretary of state.
"Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion," Reines said. "They will determine if any further action is required."
Clinton, 65, was suffering from a stomach virus earlier this month when she fainted due to dehydration, causing the concussion.
Clinton spent the holidays with her family last week after working from home.
She was scheduled to return to work at the State Department this week after being sidelined for the past three weeks. Her illness forced her to bow out of testifying December 20 before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Deputies Thomas Nides and Bill Burns appeared in her place.

Celine outlet handbags 86 A Game Of Two Halves From The Argus Michael Portillo calls himself a cork floating on the tide of fate.
After a chequered career in politics, the former cabinet minister drifted into broadcasting. He did so effortlessly with his easy manner in front of the camera. Yet it was not always thus. He lost his ice in 1997 when Jeremy Paxman asked him if we were seeing the end of the Conservative Party as a credible force in British politics. The interview, on election night, preceded the news that Portillo had lost the rock solid Tory stronghold of Enfield Southgate and celine bag where to buy been kicked out. Two years later he came out of the closet in public, admitted to having had "homosexual experiences", and then went back in. References to the exploits hung over his failed attempt to take the Tory party leadership after the 2001 general election. Later, in 2005, tabloid revelations about an extra marital affair emerged when a former mistress's partner committed suicide. Yet Portillo, 60 this year, remains married to his wife of 30 years, Carolyn Eadie. He is loved also by a TV audience of millions who have travelled the railways of Europe as his companion and welcome his curiosity and ear for the stories of social change. He has a breadth of knowledge which comes from being at the top of his profession and when we speak a day after the Bill allowing gay marriage has gone through Parliament, he has a position. A year earlier he opposed the proposal. But once a politician, always a politician. "I am very much in favour of gay marriage. I think it is going to happen around the world. The only choices David Cameron had were to be reactionary or receptive and my view is he did the only sensible thing, which was to be receptive. "But it certainly opened up the gulf between his idea of what the Conservative Party should be and the idea that many members of the Conservative Party think it should be." Portillo says the state has the right to define what marriage is. The definition changes over time divorce being one example and celine leather tote bag it is affected by law. He says the institution of marriage is strengthened by the legislation. Portillo has not set foot in the House of Commons since 2005. He is no longer a Conservative Party member and does not engage with party politics. The media career is his focus, apart from the odd "evening with" talk: "I suppose my old instincts die hard. I do like getting out and meeting people and of course that was part of my political career." He regularly talks politics on The Week and The Moral Maze, hosted Dinner With Portillo on BBC Four for five years, and often writes for the broadsheets. Despite the popularity of his Great Railway Journeys series, and documentaries such as living a week in the life of a single mother on benefits in Wallasey in Merseyside, he is questioned most regularly about politics. "The railway journeys are what they are and maybe that doesn't throw up too many questions, but on the other hand politics is all about opinions and perspectives." He joined the "slippery pole" of politics thanks to the Brighton IRA bomb of 1984. Sir Anthony Berry, who at the time held Enfield Southgate, was one of the five people killed in the explosion celine outlet handbags zulily at The Grand hotel. Portillo won the ensuing by election. He lost the seat in 1997 and entered politics again in 1999 in a second London by election. "Alan Clark died and the seat of Kensington and Chelsea was vacant. I won and in each case the vacancy was by the death of a member. There was a rather strange symmetry about that." His passion for politics came thanks to two politically minded parents. His Spanish Republican father, Luis Gabriel Portillo, emigrated to England to escape the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. His mother, Cora Blyth, was the daughter of a Scottish mill owner. Both had left of centre views; strange to think their son could hold Margaret Thatcher in such high esteem. "I got to know her in 1979 when I was responsible for celine outlet rome address 80 briefing her before election press conferences. That was the election she first won. I was part of a little group of strong supporters called the No Turning Back Group." He was only a middle ranking minster but he met with her the day she resigned. "I tried to persuade her not to resign." Portillo is a man of contradictions. He once wrote a theatre column for socialist bible The New Statesmen and the readers rather liked him. "I didn't have any abusive mail. I just had one letter from an actress who said she was sorry I didn't like her performance. I felt really rotten. I didn't have the stomach to be a theatre critic." He's a keen patron of the arts. He chairs the Arts Endowment Fund and chaired the 2008 Man Booker Prize. He celine trio bag buy is currently filming a documentary about Pablo Picasso for ITV that will compare Picasso's strong Spanish identity despite exile in France with his father's experience as a refugee in England. On his reading desk is a three volume biography of Picasso and George Dangerfield's The Strange Death Of Liberal England. The latter is research for a BBC Radio 4 series about Britain 100 years ago. He finds consolation in art and calls the 2011 film about Mrs Thatcher, The Iron Lady, painfully true. "The dilemma of the sinking of the Belgrano during the Falklands War, and the moment when she resigns and leaves Downing Street, were extremely accurate. It many ways it was a painful film but often works of art are painful." He recalls the time under Thatcher as "extraordinarily exciting" and a "rollercoaster". "We felt like we were participating in a really important revolution in the performance of the economy, in matters of taxation, in reforming the trade unions, in standing up to the Soviet Union and reforming vested interests in institutions." After his time under Mrs Thatcher, he entered the Cabinet of John Major's government between 1992 and 1997 first as Chief Secretary, then Education Secretary and later Defence Secretary. "I had two fascinating years at the Treasury. I was Chief Secretary trying to deal with issues similar to today: public spending and a deficit.
"While I was Secretary of State we changed it from a rather feeble UN operation to a robust NATO operation, and I'm pleased to say I don't think anybody has been killed in combat in the former Yugoslavia since that day in 1995.". .

The vehicle was exceeding 50 mph in a 25 mph zone, and police pursued it until it crashed in the 1300 block of South Barbier Avenue, they say.
Police say Matthews was quickly taken into custody, and Green was located hiding behind a nearby home after fleeing on foot.

Mexico City Moves to Liberalize Abortion Laws
A bill that would legalize abortion laws in Mexico City is moving through the capital's city assembly and is expected to pass within months. Currently, Mexico City allows abortion only when a woman's life is threatened, while the rest of the heavily Roman Catholic country only permits abortion in the case of rape. This new bill would allow all abortions in the first three months of pregnancy. funny pictures
"No church, no religion can impose its vision of the world in this city," Assembly Leader Victor Hugo Cirigo said of the new bill. Cirigo's liberal Party of the Democratic Revolution controls the legislative assembly with 34 of the city's 66 legislative seats. While Mexico's President Felipe Calderon is Catholic, Mexico City has been governed with a "more liberal stance toward religion" since 1997, Reuters reports. funny pictures funny images funny photos funny animal pictures funny dog pictures funny cat pictures funny gifs
In November 2006, the Mexico City legislative assembly voted to legalize same-sex civil unions. According to Reuters, the assembly and the Catholic Church may clash again over the legalization of euthanasia.

Temperatures over 100 degrees did not dissuade the crowd which gathered in Innovations Hangar North for the two-day Electric Flight Symposium at AirVenture. The Lindbergh Foundation?۪s Aviation Green Alliance partnered with AeroInnovate to host the Symposium and the adjacent Innovation Hangar South which housed displays of the latest technological breakthroughs in aviation. EAA graciously provided the meeting facilities and logistics. For four hours each day, over 175 Symposium attendees listened to experts and innovators talk about the present and future of electric flight.
The first day was dedicated to Future Vision. The day began with a captivating presentation by John Petersen, professional futurist and Lindbergh Foundation board member. John helped the audience understand the exponential rate of change that technology is undergoing and gave us a glimpse of the future. During the first day we also heard from such notable speakers as Dr. Mark Maybury, Chief Scientist of the U.S. Air Force, who shared insights into the military?۪s research and development in electric flight, Bob Araujo, Manager of Sustainable Development at Sikorsky, Don Hillebrand, Director of the Center for Transportation Research at Argonne National Labs and Michael Dudley, Director of NASA Aeronautical Research Institute. We were also treated to the reflections and visions of Dr. Mort Grosser who was a member of the Gossamer Albatross team, and to the energy and enthusiasm of Chip Yates who, only a week before, had broken the world speed record for electric flight.
The theme of the second day was Breakthrough Technologies. We heard once again from Don Hillebrand about the current state of battery technology. We also heard from Mark Moore, Scientist at NASA Langley Research Center and developer of the Puffin. In the Q&A following Dr. Hillebrand and Mr. Moore?۪s presentations, the audience was treated to a lively point / counter-point debate. The second session of the day was an Ignite Presentation made up of electric aircraft entrepreneurs. During this time, the innovators gave quick presentations, accompanied by video and slides, of what their companies are developing. Igniters included Flight of the Century, e-volo, Sonex, Embry Riddle?۪s EcoEagle project, and Synergy.
During and after both sessions, participants had the unique opportunity to talk with these wonderful speakers. Despite the heat, speakers and attendees alike lingered long after the sessions had ended to continue their conversations. EADA (the Electric Aircraft Development Alliance, another Lindbergh Foundation program) met as part of the Symposium, and set its workplan deliverables for the rest of the year. AGA is very pleased with the success of this Symposium and is looking forward to a repeat of the event next year.

| 8.9°C Belfast
A mother and daughter have died in a house fire in Northern Ireland.
The flat at Dunlea Vale, Dungannon, Co Tyrone, was engulfed in flames.
The victims were Deirdre McGirr, 38, and Elizabeth McGirr, 71, police said.
A man aged in his 30s escaped injury.
Police are investigating the circumstances.
Nationalist SDLP chair of the party's Dungannon branch, Denise Fox, expressed sympathy for the family.
"This is a terrible tragedy and my heart goes out to the family and friends of the two women who lost their lives in this blaze," she said.
"There is an overwhelming sense of sadness in Dungannon at this news and the thoughts of the community are with those close to the deceased. I also hope the man who escaped injury is given all the support he needs to recover from what must have been a hugely traumatic experience. I appeal for people to take precautions to remain fire safe in their homes to lower the risk of an awful tragedy like this happening again."
A police spokesman said: "At this stage, police are appealing to anyone who noticed any unusual activity in the area or who has any information to contact Dungannon CID."
Ulster Unionist assembly member Tom Elliott said it was a devastating tragedy. "This will have an impact on the entire community and the ramifications will be part of the society for many years," he said.

If I don't crochet at least once a day, I feel like a total slacker.
Hey everyone! I'm Deja Jetmir, the face and designer behind Crochet Ever After.
Read on to learn a little about me.
How long you been crocheting?
From the time I learned from my great-grandmother until now — over 20 years.
Actual time crocheting (my 20s were a blur of school, work and debt, having a stash was not an option)– probably about 15.
How'd you start designing?
I got pregnant. I picked up the hook to make some stuff. I realized I liked designing rather than following a pattern, now I've been doing it over 8 years.
Favorite yarn?
Self striping in beautiful vibrant colors
Where ya from?
I spent the better part of my life in Southern California, and while I miss Disneyland and the predictable weather, I find that moving around from place to place a more interesting adventure.
Currently I'm living with my family in the Bay Area but that will probably soon change as my husband's military orders do.
Update: I'm not back in Southern California for at least the next year. We'll see where the Navy takes us next.
Another Update: Time to move again. We're heading to the East Coast. I've never lived anywhere but California so this should be exciting!
Where You'll find me:
I'm on a few different websites, so whether you purchase a pattern here or there, you can guarantee that I'm there for you every step of the way.
If you find my patterns on other websites or places than the ones listed below you might have bought from someone who is selling the patterns illegally. I unfortunately can't provide support for these illegal activities so be sure you're buying from the list below.
You can also find a couple of my titles on iBooks.
