Hi all,
I've been trying to configure snort on my XP. I've spent practically the whole day reading the friggin snort manual... and to be honest I feel like running through the walls in my house. This is driving my crazy. I downloaded the the snort 2.0 version for win32. The Winpcap version I installed is err... winpcap_2_3 and the author's comments about the libnetNT driver was "LibnetNT Driver
Certain snort functions, notably the FlexResp functions, will also require an
appropriate version of LibnetNT to be installed in order for snort to operate
properly. Snort 2.0 has been tested with the version of LibnetNT from August
2001. The current installation package can be downloaded from:
http://www.securitybugware.org/libnetnt/" I'm
I'm pretty sure I installed the right one, though none of the download links stated that it was a release from "August 2001".
C:\Snort\bin>snort.exe -c "C:\snort\etc\snort.conf" -l "C:\snort\Log" -A full -i 1 -d -e -X "C:\snort\etc\classification.config"

That is what I get when I execute the commands. Is there some other configurations that I need to do other then to include the correct rule path for snort.config. I hope I was explicit. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Ledge removal at I-89 Exit 8 in Montpelier will require the northbound on-ramp to be closed starting October 3rd. Crews will be blasting and scaling back the slope of the ledge along the on-ramp. According to the contractor's schedule, the closure is scheduled to run for about a month. All other I-89 Exit 8 ramps will generally remain open, although there will be brief closures of I-89 and the ramps during actual blasting.
For the duration of the closure, alternate routes to I-89N are as follows:
• From the West side of Montpelier, take US Route 2 West to Exit 9 in Middlesex (this will be a marked detour route)
• From the East side of Montpelier, take Route 302 to Route 62 to Exit 7 in Berlin
Work on the Exit 8 northbound off-ramp will continue during the northbound on-ramp closure. At various times during the day while crews are scaling the ledge, traffic may be stopped to allow for falling debris.
For the safety of traveling motorists, when crews are blasting on any of the exit ramps, traffic will be stopped and held on I89 as well as the open exit ramps. Once the blast has occurred and the roadway deemed safe, traffic will be released. Crews will refrain from blasting during morning and afternoon commute times.
Francine Perkins of FRP Enterprises, LLC has been assigned as Public Relations Officer to work with the Vermont Agency of Transportation and JA McDonald on this project. Anyone with questions or concerns about this project is encouraged to contact Francine Perkins at 802-479-6994.

There's no question Research In Motion is in the midst of a major transitional period. The company is planning to launch a brand new product line based on a brand new operating system within the next 12 months, and even though the first device born out of RIM's new QNX OS was impressive in some ways, it was incomplete. There still is a chance for RIM to deliver some really interesting competitive products, but time is quickly running out, as we have written time and time again. Update: RIM's response.

System Governance Handbook
What is System Governance?
System Governance is faculty, staff and student leaders elected by their local governing groups . The University of Alaska universities (UAA, UAF and UAS) each have faculty senates and staff councils. Each university campus has a student governments. Faculty and staff leaders from the local faculty senates and staff councils sit on systemwide alliances: Faculty Alliance and Staff Alliance. Student leaders from each student government participate on a systemwide coalition: Coalition of Student Leaders. The UA Board of Regents and UA Summit Team regard these groups as advisory groups in the decision making process. Shared governance is a process honored by the University of Alaska that allows everyone to have a voice in the organization.
History of System Governance
Governance for faculty, staff and students exists at the University of Alaska under the Board of Regents authorization in the Regents' Policy 03.01.01. Since 1968, the Board of Regents' Policy has recognized governance although it has transformed over the years to meet the needs of faculty, staff and students.
Faculty Alliance, Staff Alliance, the Coalition of Student Leaders, and the System Governance Council consist of governing leadership from the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) and University of Alaska Southeast (UAS), University of Alaska Statewide (statewide) and the local campus alumni associations.
The four system governance groups and the Statewide Administration Assembly (Statewide Staff Council) came to be during the governance restructure between 1987 and 1993. Prior to the 1993-1994 academic year, the University of Alaska General Assembly, previously known as the Statewide Assembly, represented staff, students, faculty and alumni. The General Assembly Executive Committee, usually made up of staff and faculty, conducted most of the regular business on issues, not only of concern to the whole body, but also with issues of interest to specific constituents. The need for each group to have a separate organization to represent them led to the restructure in 1993.
UA Board of Regents
The UA Board of Regents (BOR) governs the University of Alaska. The Alaska governor appoints the eleven regents and the Alaska Legislature confirms them. They have eight-year terms beginning the first Monday in February in the year of their appointment with exception to the student regent who serves a two-year term beginning on June 1. Each University of Alaska institution has the opportunity to hold elections for the position of student regent. Forwarded to the governor for his consideration are the names of the top two candidates from each university.
The Board of Regents elects a chair, vice-chair, secretary, and treasurer. They have subcommittees, which include the Academic and Student Affairs Committee, the Audit Committee, the Facilities and Land Management Committee, and the Planning and Development Committee.
Most Board of Regents' meetings take place on Thursdays and Fridays. Generally, regular committee meetings take place five times a year and occur in September, December, February, April and June on Thursdays with regular sessions on Fridays. Actions proposed on items discussed in committees go into a "consent agenda" for the regular session on Friday. Approval of each committee's work happens with the adoption of the consent agenda unless one or more regents object. Public comment periods normally occur on Thursday and Friday mornings.
University President
The University of Alaska president operates and manages the university under the authority of the Board of Regents and serves as the executive officer to the board. He is the official spokesperson for the university. To see details of the president's responsibilities and duties go to the Regents' Policy and University Regulations 02.01. The president delegates his authority to the university chancellors and their direct reports.
Summit Team
Summit Team membership includes the president of the University of Alaska, the vice president of Academic Affairs, and the chancellors and provosts from UAA, UAF and UAS. The team is part of the decision making process associated with the Shaping Alaska's Future initiative, and the framework for developing UA's culture into one of continuous quality improvement and innovation. They chose the name "Summit Team" in honor of the Latin "ad summum" emblazoned on the official University of Alaska seal, which appears on all UA diplomas. This collaborative body will take up issues that cross university boundaries. The Summit Team is formed with the charge to make necessary decisions, when those are within the authority of its members, or to recommend changes to the BOR when new policy is needed. The role of shared governance in this endeavor is extremely important. Governance groups will have a much improved opportunity to advise the administration in accordance with their responsibility.
(Exerpts taken from President Gamble's email on Feb. 13, 2014 announcing the creation of the Summit Team)
Summit Team Proposal Form
This form is for use by Faculty Alliance, Staff Alliance, Coalition of Student Leaders and the System Governance Council when an issue, they would like to address, arises concerning the entire univerity system.
System Governance Office
The System Governance Office resides on the UAF Fairbanks campus in the Butrovich Building Suite 106. The executive officer functions as the liaison and communication hub between the governance groups and the administration, the president, and the Board of Regents. The office facilitates system governance processes and provides information and research support to system governance leaders. All communications and actions from each group flow through the System Governance Office to establish a historical record, to create continuity in the processes, and to assure compliance to the Board of Regents Policies and Unversity Regulations. The System Governance processes assist in the yearly transition of new leaders and accommodate the education of those practices. The governance groups receive UA Statewide general funds to support travel and the work required in the function of system governance.
System Governance Groups
Coalition of Student Leaders
The Coalition of Student Leaders includes the presidents of the eleven UA campuses, or an appointed representative from the local campus student government. Student governments, who have voting members on the Coalition, includes:
University of Alaska Anchorage -
- UAA Union of Students
- Kachemak Bay Student Association (Homer)
- Kenai Peninsula College Student Union (Kenai/Soldotna)
- Kodiak College Student Association
- Matanuska-Susitna College Student Government (Palmer)
- Prince William Sound Community College Student Association (Valdez)
University of Alaska Fairbanks -
- Associated Students of UAF
- Kuskokwim Campus Student Government (Bethel)
University of Alaska Southeast -
- United Students of UAS –Juneau
- United Students of UAS – Ketchikan
- United Students of UAS – Sitka
At the annual retreat in the fall, the Coalition holds an election for chair, vice chair, secretary and treasurer. Election of these officers is also in accordance with the Coalition of Student Leaders' Charter. Each term lasts one academic year with a two-term limit. The chair of the Coalition calls the coalition meetings, and the vice chair serves as chair in their absence.
In addition, the Coalition's chair and vice chair serve on the System Governance Council, a System Governance body made up of faculty, staff, student leaders from the System Governance groups: Faculty Alliance, Staff Alliance and the Coalition of Student Leaders along with three alumni leaders representing each university (UAA, UAF, and UAS).
Two ex officio (non-voting) positions reside within the Coalition: the student regent, and the student commissioner to the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education (ACPE). The governor of the State of Alaska appoints these two two-year term positions. A copy of the State Statute relating to the student regent and student commissioner are included in this handbook.
Faculty Alliance
The Faculty Alliance has three representatives from each Faculty Senate from UAA, UAF and UAS. The three representatives are the current year's Faculty Senate president-elect, president, and past-president. Each representative is a member of the Faculty Alliance for three consecutive years.
The Faculty Alliance has an automatic rotation for the position of chair. The chair position rotates among the universities every third year e.g. faculty from UAF chair one year, UAA the next, and UAS in the third year. The term lasts for one year from June 1 to May 31. The chair is the spokesperson of the Alliance and presides over all meetings
Staff Alliance
The Staff Alliance has eight representatives and they include two from the UAS Staff Council, two from the UAF Staff Council, two from the UAA Staff Council, and two from the Statewide Administration Assembly.
Staff Alliance elects a chair and vice chair at their August retreat. The chair and vice chair come from different universities. The terms last for one year or until a successor is elected.
System Governance Council
The System Governance Council is made up of two members each from the Faculty Alliance, Staff Alliance, Coalition of Student Leaders, and three alumni representatives (one each from UAA, UAF and UAS).
The Council's focus is to give a place for the Faculty Alliance, Staff Alliance, Coalition of Student Leaders and alumni to collaborate and address issues affecting more than one constituency or may affect the entire university community systemwide.
Message to Student Leaders
Your Life as a Coalition Member
As your student government's representative to the Coalition, you will have an opportunity to interact with other student leaders from around the state through various electronic meetings , through the Coalition email list-serv, and even in face-to-face meetings for those who travel to attend conferences or UA Board of Regents' meetings .
You will have the opportunity and responsibility to communicate the needs and concerns of your campus to the Coalition and, through the Coalition, to the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education (ACPE), to the UA Board of Regents, to the Alaska State Legislature, and to other bodies that make decisions affecting students across the state.
While you represent the needs of your fellow students to the Coalition, it is also important to bring information you gain from Coalition meetings and activities back to your local student groups. The Coalition strives to strengthen student governments across the state, increase and maintain communication between them, and bring a unifying perspective so that all of our organizations can work together on large issues like tuition, capital projects and student loans.
As a Coalition representative, you have access to a wider array of resources than may be available to other students on your campus. Your job is to find ways to increase the availability of these resources as much as possible. It strengthens your student community if you do this, and use yourself as a resource as well. You may want to give a report to your student government after every Coalition meeting, set up informational tables in a central location (such as a student union or cafeteria), or hand out informational fliers on a particular issue. Generally making yourself accessible and available for information can also encourage good communication between you and your peers. Taking an active role in the Coalition gives you the opportunity to energize your student body and help successful strategies spread across the state.
Leadership Development
One of the most important tasks of the Coalition is to foster leadership development. You may be called upon to lead a sub-committee, event, or even give a report to the Board of Regents.
The Coalition's focus is on unifying and strengthening the student voice in Alaska. Your assessment of where your campus is, and where it needs to be, is an essential piece of the developing future of the Coalition.
The UA president relies on the Coalition of Student Leaders to provide feedback regarding student issues across the state and views the Coaltion along with the faculty and staff alliances as advisory to his decision making process.
Unfortunately, Alaska's size and the location of UA campuses translate into high travel costs for student leaders. It is important that your student government plan and allocate enough money to send its members to important meetings. Attend any of the events but you are encouraged and expected to attend the following two events:
Annual Fall Orientation in Fairbanks
This annual event is sponsored by System Governance at Statewide. It is a time for incoming student leaders to meet and become acquainted with each other, to participate in orientation, begin planning for the coming academic year and elect the officers for the academic year.
The Annual Alaska Legislative Session and Advocacy Trip to Juneau
Your local student government is responsible to send you to Juneau with the Coalition in February for the Legislative Session. System Governance and UAS sponsor the events and activities. The session is an opportunity for student leaders to come together to execute a legislative strategy in support of the systemwide priorities in the UA budget.
What is Advocacy?
Advocacy is the act of attempting to influence a decision. Usually, the term refers to attempts to influence a legislator to vote a certain way on a bill. Here, we use the term broadly to include attempts to influence public decision makers, including legislators, public officials, and education officials, both on and off campus.
Student Governments usually engage in what is sometimes referred to as "public interest" advocacy. This means that the students involved have identified a broad public purpose for their activities. This does not mean that all students will agree on the issues, but it does mean that those involved believe that their objective will achieve some public good. Public interest advocates generally avoid "buying" influence through campaign contributions and tend to rely on providing rationale and data to support their positions and demonstrating power through grassroots efforts, like voting and letter writing.
Advocacy is an important part of public decision-making. Legislators and other decision makers often lack the time and resources to research all sides of an issue. Understanding the competing interests involved and how the decision will affect people is an important part of any decision. Advocates influence the legislative process by providing reliable information and showing decision makers how their decisions will impact people.
Problems and Issues
The need to advocate often arises when an individual experiences a problem. If a single student could not afford a proposed tuition increase, it would be a personal matter which could be addressed through a variety of support services. However, if a number of students cannot afford the increase, the issue of access to higher education arises. The issue of access to higher education involves a number of public policy questions where the decision lies with a number of decision makers. If you or your student governments lack the resources or authority to respond to the problem, you will likely engage in some form of advocacy to get the result you want.
Effective Advocacy
Effective advocating involves a range of etiquette norms, tactics, and processes. The following suggestions provide a context in which to prepare for advocating. This is a simplified list; different strategies need to be considered for each advocating situation.
- Identify the problem with specificity. Find out who is affected, how many are affected, and how they are affected. A very broad issue, such as financial barriers to higher education, may affect more than the students involved - it could affect the supply of trained workers in the state, the diversity of the campus and the families of the students as well. A more narrow issue such as library hours may only affect enrolled students and may have a particular effect on working students who must study during the evening. Meet and discuss the problem with those who are affected.
- Identify the decision maker. This may be difficult. For some issues there are several "layers" of decision makers. The Board of Regents, for example, determines tuition. However, what the statewide administration proposes affects the decision along with the budget that the legislature authorizes for the university. Even so, a single campus matter such as lighting around the campus or parking on campus is likely to be decided on that campus, by a campus director or chancellor. Take care not to spend resources convincing someone with no authority to give you what you want. Yet, many busy decision makers delegate tasks and seek the advice of colleagues. It may be useful to find out to whom the decision makers listen. Remember that lobbying is not just for the legislature: we also lobby our Board of Regents and administrations. It is important to remember which responsibilities belong to each organization.
- Identify the resources you and your organization have to work on the issue . Who will conduct research, and who will take action? Do you have regular meetings or contacts with the decision maker, or will you need to create them? Do you have funds for the activities you plan? If you need more people, you need to do some outreach or networking. If you need funds, you may need to raise money or find allies with resources.
- Decide what you want. What are the solutions to the problem? You may need to choose between solutions, or a variety may be identified. If poor lighting is the problem, find out where there is a need and for how many lights. How many additional library hours, and on what days, would improve student access? If high tuition is the problem, will you seek more funding for financial aid, lower tuition levels, or both? If you do not identify what you want, you may not be satisfied with the solutions proposed by others, even if you successfully convince them that a response is needed.
- Network with others who share your interest. Faculty, alumni, student organizations and even community organizations may help you with people, resources, and information that you need to present your case. For example, members of the public who use the library may also need longer hours, or business and civic organizations, such as your local chamber of commerce, may share your concern for access to and quality of higher education. A proposal supported by many groups is more likely to get the attention of decision makers.
- Communicate with the decision maker. The nature of the communication will vary with the setting. The best way to reach a campus official may be by simply holding a meeting. An administrative rule passed by the institution, a University Regulation implemented by the President, a Regents Policy adopted by the Board of Regents, or a statute adopted by the legislature will likely involve formal testimony at a public hearing. Even where hearings are involved, utilize all of the following: direct meetings, letters, phone calls, and petitions.
- Informing the public is an important part of any advocacy effort. Members of the public or the press may help bring favorable consideration to your proposals. The process may also help you form a network of interested groups. Informing the public can be done in many different ways:
- Notify the media with press releases and/or direct contact
- Hold events to attract public attention such as information tables, rallies, demonstrations, marches, vigils, strikes, or boycotts
- Make and distribute posters, flyers, and radio spots
- Hold a "media event" such as an open forum
- Make use of natural gathering times such as registration, orientation, special activities and events, club meetings, and so forth
- Collect signatures on a petition
- Organize a letter writing drive
- Organize a POM (Public Opinion Message) drive
Notice that some of the activities listed above have the dual effect of public pressure on the decision maker in addition to informing the public.
Effective advocacy means having the right information to assist the decision maker, knowing what you want, working with everyone who is affected, and communicating with the decision maker and the public.
Advocacy Tools
Letters, Emails, Phone Calls, and Public Opinion Messages
Letters are important, even critical, to influence legislation. Letters to the writer's own senator, representatives, regents, or administrators are especially important. On most issues, legislators do not receive a great many letters. Many legislators have told of instances when just one particularly effective letter had changed their position on a bill. Other legislators tell of how they will make two piles - pro and con. The largest pile of letters may decide on how they will vote on an issue. Here are some guidelines to assist your letter writing efforts:
- Mention the number of the bill (i.e., Senate Bill or SB 310) and the subject matter of the bill.
- Tell them if you are a constituent.
- Have people write each letter individually – do not use photocopies or form letters.
- State why you support or oppose the bill and how it will affect you.
- Write in your own words and include thoughts of your own. It is helpful to site your own
- (relevant) personal experiences.
- Offer as much knowledge as you can, but do not clutter your letter with too many facts, data or statistics.
- Do not hesitate to write because you feel you are not an "expert." Often times the most effective letters are the most honest ones that come from personal experience.
- Keep the tone courteous, unemotional, constructive and well-reasoned - do not be threatening, insulting or self-righteous, i.e. "I'm your constituent - what are you going to do for me?"
- Be brief and to the point. One page should suffice.
- Express your desire for a response, i.e. "I look forward to hearing from you."
- Include your mailing address, phone number, and internet address so the legislator, regent, or administrator can follow-up with a reply.
- Write on only one subject per letter.
- Do not use university, campus, or student government letterhead when writing your letters.
- You can mention your position within student government, but your message is your own, not the school's.
Compose emails in the same manner as letters and be brief, to the point, honest, and professional. Emails are a handy and effective lobbying tool for constituents when an issue is pressing and requires quick action or when the end of the session is near. Reach most legislators at: email@example.com. Contact your local campus information to obtain addresses for desired regents or administrators.
Dictate Public Opinion Messages (POMs) over the phone by calling your local legislative information office. Keep the messages short - less than fifty words - and write them on the form provided for that purpose. These are often more convenient and simpler than writing letters. Bills can pass or fail depending on the sent in number of POM's. POM's are only for state legislators.
Speaking directly with your legislator over the telephone can also be very powerful. Sometimes direct contact with a constituent is all a policymaker needs to make their decisions. A few things to remember when making the call:
- Be persistent! Do not assume that one call will be enough.
- Limit yourself to one topic per call
- Keep it short! Remember, they run on tight schedules, and deal with many different people each day
Remember, legislators, regents, and administrators decide student needs. We need to lobby our administrators and regents in the same manner and with the same professional and positive attitude we approach the legislature.

Topics of concern regarding the Legislative Session and state related items are updated on the State Relations Page: http://www.alaska.edu/state/
System Governance Activities, Processes and Procedures
Agendas and Minutes
Meeting agendas are posted to the System Governance Home Page one week prior to the meeting. The chair of the group works with the executive officer of System Governance to set the agenda. Once the agenda is posted, no changes will be made. The group may amend the agenda at the beginning of the meeting.
The secretary of the governance group or the executive officer will take the minutes of the meeting and submit the draft minutes to the chair no later than one week after the meeting occurred. The office will post the draft minutes them to the System Governance Home Page in preparation for approval at the next meeting.
Google Apps Account Required for Participation
Google Apps and @alaska.edu Account Required to participate in system governance
All Faculty, staff and students must obtain a UA Google Apps account at <http://www.alaska.edu/google/opt-in/start.xml> to participate in System Governance processes. The @alaska.edu account gives access to Google Hangouts, Google Calendar and essentially all the Google Applications to facilitate collaboration. All UA employees and students are qualified to have a free GoogleApps@UA account. The System Governance Office will only accept one email address per member and it must be @alaska.edu. You may elect to forward the @alaska.edu email to your primary email account.
Governance Reports to the Board of Regents
Each chair from Faculty Alliance, Staff Alliance, and the Coalition of Student Leaders prepares a written report to the Board of Regents (BOR) prior to the regular board meeting and they are made public as part of the Board's agenda. Chairs also give an oral report to the board at each regular BOR meeting. The written Governance Report consists of the current topics, concerns, activities, and actions of each governance group.
Meetings and Retreats
Each governance group generally meets monthly with July as the exception. Faculty eliminate a June meeting due to faculty contracts ending in May.
Governance groups should notify the chair if there is an item of concern to include in the agenda or of any absence or tardiness. Schedule an alternate to attend the meeting in case of an expected absence.
In the fall, the governance groups hold an onsite, in person retreat.
Faculty Alliance holds meetings the second Friday of each month. Staff Alliance holds meetings the second Tuesday of each month. They normally last two hours and they are held via Google Hangout.
Motions and Resolutions: The Process for Actions
Governance groups initiate actions, when necessary, in the form of a motion or a resolution.
Per Robert's Rules of Order (11th ed.), "A motion is a formal proposal by a member, in a meeting, that the assembly take certain action," whereas, a resolution is used "for more important or complex questions, or when greater formality is desired" and is generally written out ahead of time.
To route an action through governance:
1.The governance group votes on the motion or resolution.
2. The group submits the motion or resolution to the System Governance Executive Officer to format.
3. The chair of the governance group formally signs the document on behalf of the group.
4. The Executive Officer prepares the document and sends it to the UA President.
5. The President and/or BOR issues a response.
Check the BOR Policy and UA Regulation for the response timeline:
BOR Policy and UA Regulation: Chapter 03.01. Faculty, Staff and Student Governance

Lil Wayne Says He Has Recorded 90 Songs With Dr. Dre
Lil Wayne has worked with some of the best hit-makers in the rap game. The Young Money rapper has spitted bars over beats by Kanye West, Jim Jonsin, Swizz Beatz and many others. But Wayne recently disclosed that he has recorded a slew of tracks with legendary hip-hop producer Dr. Dre.
"I've always worked with Dre," Wayne says matter-of-factly to MTV News. "I'm not sure if you guys know how Dre works, Dre always send you a song, so I done probably did like 90 songs for Dre. You just never know which one he gonna put out."
Now keep in mind that Weezy is probably exaggerating just a little bit. To record close to 100 songs and not have one leak onto the Internet is pretty amazing. But we have to ask this question — why is Dr. Dre holding on to a plethora of Wayne songs? Come on, Dre, you got to release some of those songs to the public. Or, at the very least, let Wayne have some of them for his upcoming LP 'I Am Not a Human Being II.'
Speaking of 'Human Being II,' the 'How to Love' rapper also told MTV News that super-producer Kanye West will be heavily involved in making that project the hottest rap album ever. "Yeah he got some music on there," he says. "It's crazy, actually I don't want to give too much up but he's got a big hand in the album, you'll see."
In the meantime, we hope that Dr. Dre is reading this article and decides to give fans an early Christmas gift and drop one of those Weezy joints online.
Lil Wayne's 'I Am Not a Human Being II' will hit stores in December.

Q. I've always had an excitement for architecture that can't be disillusioned. Despite continual protest from my parents regarding my career choice, I'm passionately starting continuing my sophomore year at a prestigious university, majoring in architecture. It's a five-year program that I'm thoroughly enjoying and am intensely committed to. I realize that in this economy, all professional careers are speculative, and it seems that architecture as a profession in New York may be unattainable. My grades are excellent, but I'm trying to find every edge that I can. As I make my schedule for next semester, can you could offer insight into which areas I should focus on in my studies? Should I sign up for more technology-based elective courses, design and hand-drawing, or maybe focus on the environmental aspects of building? I'd appreciate your advice.
A. Tough question to answer, based on the current economy and not knowing what your real interests are. Technical avenues probably hold the most promise for landing a job and keeping it, since most people take to the art and drawing end of the field. Sadly, most architecture schools emphasize design from the presentation point of view and leave graduates to flounder with getting up to speed on engineering and technical matters in the workplace. This leads to frustration for the professional who needs expertise and instead has to train the new employee.
Keep in mind that only about 2 percent of architectural graduates ever get to be a real "designer," building models, sketching ideas and guiding that big firm to its vision. Especially in the large-firm atmosphere, which I grew to abhor because of office politics, low pay for long hours without sleep, and the general taking advantage of the love and passion that a starry-eyed graduate has, there's a slim chance that you'll be the survivor despite all your hard work. That is, unless you have some technical acumen that a firm can't do without.

A few years ago retro gadgets seemed like quite a fun idea. Oh how we chuckled when we saw that iPhone case made to resemble a 1970s Motorola brick. And yep I loved all those games consoles styled like ones I had a few decades ago yet stacked out with contemporary processors and graphics cards.
Somewhere along the line though it all went a little too crazy. Now every gadgets site has a bonkers array of iPhone cases designed to look like ancient devices and music players that take their style cues from a few decades ago. And sad to say that an awful lot of what is being produced is, whisper it, not that great.
So finding 10 retro gadgets that are actually quite stylish as well as being rather useful too proved to be quite a tough task,. In the end we gave yup at 8, so if you do know of any others we can use to pad out the list let us know in the comments.
Links to the various products are included under the pics.

Given all that is happening in the world in terms of sequestration and spending cuts, it might not be the best time to advocate government getting onboard with a hugely expensive supercomputing project that has a good chance of delivering no usable data. Then again, it could change everything we know about reality. And it's not like we don't currently have the fastest computer in the world with the Energy Department's Titan.
But first you have to get your head around a concept that initially seems utterly ridiculous. I know that's what I thought, at first. But then the more I contemplated it, the more intrigued I became.
So here goes: There is actually a chance, logically speaking, that we are all living inside a simulated reality. And one scientist thinks he's found a way that we can tell.
Now I know everyone is automatically thinking about "The Matrix," which was a great movie and seemed pretty original, but there actually have been a lot of simulated reality theories, going all the way back to Parmenides, Zeno of Elea and Plato. Wikipedia has an expansive page devoted to all the theories that's a fascinating read.
To boil it down in my very non-philosophical way, the main theory that puts us all into a simulation is based on three principles.
1) Humans are getting very close to being capable of producing life-like simulations. Look at any modern open-world computer game like Skyrim, and it's difficult to tell that it's all simulated and not a real place. How much more would be needed to push it over the top?
2) In the not-too-distant future, humans will not only be capable of making these simulations, but will have the hardware to produce quite a few, if not an infinite number of them, on a large scale, even entire universes. Which leads us to:
3) Either we are the original humans leading up to the creation of all those simulated worlds or we are somehow living inside one of them. In relation to all those simulations, it is, statistically speaking, more likely that we are inside one right now.
Enter University of Bonn physicist Silas Beane, who works simulating nuclear reactions in a grid-like universe created with computers. In an interview with the New Scientist, he said that his best simulations can calculate some of the properties of real things such as the simplest nuclei. But the process also generates artifacts that don't appear in the real world and must be removed. So Bonn believes that mapping a high-energy particle like a cosmic ray and comparing its behavior to an actual cosmic ray could provide evidence of a simulation.
There is another theory that says that a grand-scale computer simulation would be designed to shut down if the residents inside it got to the point where they could make an equal simulation inside of it, in order to prevent computer overload. If that is true, then we're better off with our blissful ignorance than being shut down all together. Or maybe it just means that we are, after all, the real deal.

Yes we live in a simulated world/Universe. The OS is programmed by the OM/Cosmic vibration, which can be realized only through deep medition and nothing else.
I think Einstein's rules about the speed of light and all that were simply put in place the by the simulation's programmers to prevent us from breaking the simulation. When you approach light speed, time does not really slow down. You simply push the sim too far and start to lose computing cycles. Its like playing a game and having too many objects on the screen. I think that is a better way to show that our "real world" sim can be broken than trying to model something that would really just be modeling another part of the model if in fact we were inside a virtual world, which again, I'm pretty sure we are.
So he wants to show that we live in a simulation by demonstrating his simulated cosmic ray acts differently than the "real simulation"? This only implies his model doesn't match the simulation model. Or he wants to show that the real simulation produces "mathematical artifacts". Where are these artifacts going to instantiate and how does one determine that the instantiated artifacts aren't the just another part of the simulation. "Gravity" under general relativity is nothing more than the tendency of mass traveling through time to curve space such that particles having mass move toward each other. This "artifact" of the tensor equations can't be ignored when building a bridge. And doesn't really say anything about the reality in which the "computer" creating the "real simulation" exists. This computer can elide the simulation artifacts as part of the programming, assuming it exists.
-"If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is." John von Neumann There aren't any computers that could simulate the life processes of a single blackberry cell from quantum particles all the way up including the quantum effects of chlorophyll capturing light and transferring the energy to H2O and CO2 to make sugar much less the necessary accouterments to that like an ecosystem providing pollinators, rain, wind, the sun, etc, stretching back to the beginning. And that includes the evolution of species driven by cosmic ray induced mutation. Consider the memory requirements for the scale from plank units to 13 billion+ light years across about 83000 interacting dimensions (3D, t, momentum, energy …..)Is this a garden path of the simulation designers? Well guess what, they have to make the garden path consistent for all the simulated instrumentation readings of a few billion people. Unless you think you are special, in which case my message to you is just a part of that garden path. Which either makes me a construct or one of your overlords! Low informational person.
Did it ever occur to you that the creators of our simulation may not want us realizing we're part of one? You may have just gave them a reason to pull the plug.

Halloween is a holiday that brings a lot of creepy themed food along with it. Unfortunately, most of it calls for sugar as the main ingredient, but your holiday food can curdle the blood without spiking your blood sugar. If you're throwing a party on a chilly autumn night, what better way to warm up your guests than with a bubbling pot of blood-colored soup?
This soup gets its inspiration from the spicy tomato-vodka cocktail of the same name, and yes, feel free to spike the soup! Every time I make this, I do it a little differently, but here's the approximate recipe. Customize according to your own Bloody Mary preferences.
To make Bloody Mary Soup, start with:
1 onion
2 carrots
3 large tomatoes
4 celery stalks
5 cloves of garlic
Chop the vegetables and simmer them in a large pot with:
1/2 cup of vodka
1 tsp Tabasco sauce or cayenne pepper (whichever spicy flavor you prefer)
1 Tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce (most contain anchovies, so read the label closely to find a vegan brand, or use Bragg's Liquid Aminos instead.)
1 tsp red pepper flakes
The alcohol will cook out of the vodka at this stage, so if you want your soup alcoholic, add a shot of vodka to each bowl or glass while serving.
After about 10 minutes, add one large can of pure tomato juice, (you know the ones I mean: they look like a gallon of tomato juice) and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are suitably softened. At this point, you may wish to blend the soup to give it a smoother texture. Blending the soup will change the color! When blended, it will be more of an orangey-red, so decide whether you're going for the "blood" look, or the Bloody Mary drinkability.
Add salt, pepper, and more of the previously mentioned spices & seasonings to taste. Serve the soup hot, in bowls or glasses, (remember the optional shot of vodka at this stage) and garnish each with a single celery stalk.
Have a fun and spooky Halloween!

Paraguayan model to strip if team wins World Cup
No chance, sadly
NSFW A Paraguayan model has promised to run naked through the streets of Asunción, painted in her team's colours, if the South American country triumphs in the World Cup.
Larissa Riquelme has been getting plenty of coverage for lending her considerable support to the national side from a square in the capital, where she has has been eyeballing the big-screen action with thousands of fellow fans.
Much to the delight of photographers, the 24-year-old turns out in a patriotic low-cut top with a mobile phone wedged between her ample bosoms, as you can see in the snap from her Facebook photo album.
This, according to globoesporte.com, is a publicity stunt for a mobile phone company, which has proved less successful for the sponsors than for Ms Riquelme.
Indeed, while globoesporte.com fails to name the company in question, it notes that the model has been bombarded with offers of work, while flashing her assets around the world.
Regarding her promise to bare all, we sadly suspect she won't be obliged to deliver. ®

Justiciability refers to the types of matters that the federal courts can adjudicate. If a case is "nonjusticiable." a federal court cannot hear it. To be justiciable, the court must not be offering an advisory opinion, the plaintiff must have standing, and the issues must be ripe but neither moot nor violative of the political question doctrine.

Thomas F. Haff Named as 2013 Recipient of Paul W. Zitzewitz Excellence in Pre-College Teaching Award
Haff earned his BA and M.Ed from the University of Washington. He began teaching in 1976 at Mercer Island High School. He taught at several high schools and at Edmonds Community College before taking a position at Issaquah High School in 1996. He is a National Board Certified Teacher.
The Washington Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers honored Haff with an Outstanding High School Teacher Award Oct. 9, 2010 at its state meeting. This is the first time the chapter has given the award, and it will now be called the Tom Haff award, in honor of its first recipient.
Haff epitomizes the qualities most desired in a teacher. He is an enthusiastic, expert teacher; he explains physics so the subject comes alive for students, inspiring them to seek and grasp a deeper level of understanding. He truly understands that his job is not only to teach science concepts to his students; rather to instill in them a curiosity and enthusiasm for learning science. He is an effective mentor, providing opportunities for students to interact with physics educators and physicists at local and national meetings. He immerses himself in his physic classes. He ran his AP physics, for nine years, after school hours so all students in the district would have an opportunity to participate. His passing rate was well over 98% on the AP exam and his students did exceptionally well on the college level.
Haff noted, "When it is all said and done….the bottom line…whether we build a new building or buy a pencil…. It is about the kids….bottom line."

DICKSON, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women's golf team
chopped nine strokes off its first round with an improved showing
Friday in the second round of the 2010 Ohio Valley Conference
Tournament, but the Golden Eagles lost some of that momentum later
in the day.
The teams played the firstnine of the final round Friday, and never got back on the course for the back nine. The tournament was canceled after 45 holes, meaning the Golden Eagles finished in seventh place with two players in the Top 25 on the individual leaderboard.
Junior Carley Rhyne (pictured) tied for 20th place and senior Diana Carson tied for 23rd.
Murray State (747) vaulted into the lead on Friday, and claimed a five-stroke win over Jacksonville State (752). Morehead State (759), which shared the first round lead with the Gamecocks, took third place, 12 shots off the lead. Fourth place belonged to Austin Peay (769), another 10 shots back, followed by Eastern Kentucky (778), Eastern Illinois (797), Tech (807) and Tennessee State (957).
Austin Peay's Chalsea Harris was the individual leader with a five-shot lead.
After opening with a 77 Thursday, Rhyne shot an 81 Friday and made the turn on her third round with a 40 to tie for 20th place at 198. Carson was two strokes back at 200. She improved to a 79 Friday following her 84, and shot 37 on her front nine of the final tour.
Senior Megan Bradford shot matching scores of 82 on the first two rounds, and ended play Friday at 41, placing her in a tie for 29th place at 205.
Freshman Katherine Bell had Tech's best round of the tournament on Friday when she carded a second round 76. She lost some ground with a 44 in the front nine, and finished tied for 31st place at 206. Another freshman, Amanda Randolph, placed 36th with rounds of 84 and 89, and a 45 halfway through her final round.

Dallas Shaw is a beautiful and talented artist who works with big-name labels like DKNY, Dace, Vaute Couture, and American Eagle. Her three main specialties are paintings, fashion illustrations, and vintage-wallpaper art.
Because I think Dallas is super-talented and pretty awesome…I decided I had to interview her! I hope you enjoy getting to know Dallas as much as I did.
1. I see you currently reside in Delaware. Were you born and raised there or is that where you decided to pursue your art career?
Oh no, I just recently relocated to DE. I am from PA and then lived in Orlando for a bit while I drew with Disney. I thought my whole life that was what I wanted to do- but learned quickly that I wanted to be in fashion. And now we are here and loving it.
To answer your question about pursuing an art career: I decided I would be an artist I was about 6. I never thought about doing anything else with myself.
2. Did you go to school for art or was it more of a hobby for your growing up?
Both. It was a hobby very early, I took classes for fun and to learn more before going to school for it.
3. Were you ever involved in a different line or work before becoming an artist? If so, what?
I briefly taught art in middle school and met amazing talented children. But everything I have ever done in my life has been art related in some way- I really don't know anything other than being creative.
4. I read from your bio you have your own line of t-shirts. When did you start making these? Also, where can they be found/purchased?
They are gone 🙂 Happily they sold out and used to be available on etsy. There may be a few left at buildanest.com if you were to find any but they went fast. I am working on something new since they were so popular. Just not sure how long it will take though- b/c I like to do things bigger, and better.
5. Where do you gather your inspiration for your drawings?
The runway, and amazing spaces.
6. How did you get involved with such big-name brands like DKNY and American Eagle?
I am constantly working and have been for years and years so I have been introducing my work to many companies and building relationships for a long time. They just really liked the work- and I am happy to say they have all been very supportive.
7. Who are your favorite fashion designers/lines at the moment?
This changes every season, but currently Marchesa, Oscar, Donna Karan, Diane Von Furstenburg, Chris Benz… all for different reasons.
8. What is your go-to garment/accessory for summer?
A long maxi dress. (With a mens blazer at night)
For more information about Dallas Shaw, you can visit her website www.dallasshaw.com and her blog www.dillydallas.blogspot.com.
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT: You are the first to know that Dallas will be creating my ChiCityFashion logo! Follow me on Twitter @ChiCityFashion for updates. Can't wait to see it!

Anonymous Attacks North Korea
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5
Screw nuclear conflict - those things can easily end up in global extermination. It is more appropriate if China steps down on North Korea softly enough that they will not lose face, then convincing them to proceed to becoming a better nation. (Why China? I have heard that North Korea has the best relations with China.) Remember World War 1 and the minimal excuse they needed to escalate into a multinational war? I certainly do not want that part of history repeating itself with nuclear armaments in tow.
The anon attack itself is understandable but ultimately disappointing. There are much better and subversive messages that you can send to North Korea or troll them with given their state of censorship. (Coming from a tinfoil hat perspective it could however be an excellent trolling of the rest of the world if the attack itself is a hoax.)
Agreed! little to no effect. But it'll sure be a lot fun to watch what the anons cook up.
If China decide to continue their support of North Korea then this can go tits up very quickly. Fallout is becoming truer than we were expecting.
I think China would ditch North Korea in a heartbeat. From the looks of China's military movement it looks like they're gearing up to invade North Korea if they do anything too dumb. China and America may disagree with eachother in a lot of ways, but we are financially married and everything. China will totally let us spank their children for disobeying us and especially attacking us.
Remember back when Anonymous, once and for all, totally destroyed the infamous Zeta cartel?
Me neither.
Mickey Lover?
As a non-American, I find this hilarious, it's all a huge publicity stunt on North Korea's end, although I'm not sure exactly what they are trying to accomplish. Maybe there's a lot of political pressure on Kim, or he is trying to appear strong to people who are plotting to succeed him, but that's all hypothetical. The only thing I'm sure of is that even he wouldn't be retarded enough to launch a couple of missiles against the US, which will be countermeasured before they get anywhere close and immediately trigger a response that would erase the island off the map within hours.
"More capable of nuking US than ever!"
There is an honestly disturbing amount of people in this thread calling for the decimation of a country purely because of the unfortunate circumstances regarding being ruled by a dictatorship.
If America (and I know how ridiculous this will sound but honestly bear with me here) was to be ruled by a dictatorship, would you, the innocent civilians in appalling living conditions, want to be obliterated purely because you happened to be trapped there?
I don't know. If they launch any kind of nuke it will have a swift resolve and N Korea will cease to exist pretty quick as there is only really one come back.
However if they invade the south, nobody is going to use nukes. N Korea is meant to have around 10 million fighting troops that's around 5 times the size of the US military and double the size of South Korea. An it's not like the US doesn't have troops tied up over the entire world....or need a massive amount of troops at home just to secure the borders.
People forget North Korea is essentially a nation of peasants BUT they are controlled by an elitist heirachy including a very large military that are well fed, fanatical and trained soldiers (maybe not battle harded and trained like delta's or SAS but trained). Even if you assume Every US & Korean soldier involved is superior when they have that many troops it's not going to be a walk over. An the US didn't exactly win the last Korean war, infact they nearly lost the whole country.
I mean you only have to look at what the germans and russians did with conscripts who had 0 training in WW2 it's a brutal method that cares f all for lives but if you have enough troops you can wipe out supposedly superior forces.
They will definately have an interest in stopping it. This is going to make the jobs of the real-life diplomats- y'know, the ones who are risking their lives by going into that fucking country, so much harder.
For god sake Anon, leave this one to the professionals, lest you run the risk of getting them killed. Surely even you (if you're reading) with the hardcore libertarian ideals have to agree that diplomats are not worthy of your scorn?
I'm normally all for Anon's intervention in a lot of civil-type things, and the way they got the internet going during The Arab Spring was great, but this is really treading on a minefield. What if these people do actually hear your call and rise up to fight the regime, huh? Millions will die. You can't actually hold people's hands through the internet when they've got an army bearing down on them and all the power lines have been cut.
Only naive idealists would support a move like this.
It smacks of trying to look like you're helping without actually helping.
Or at least, I'd like them to tell me how they think this would help.
In other news,Anonimous continues to do the Governments work for them.
North Korea needs a history lesson in World War II. It would be nice for that nation and its leaders to learn the lesson of "poking a sleeping bear" without them having to learn that first hand.
If they start a global incident by attacking us or anyone else, sure, a few hundred or thousand lives will be lost. Yet, they should know that in the quick retaliation, they will lose everything and everyone and no one will mourn for them. Like the more sane version of the Illusive Man, I'm all for the advancement of all humanity, no matter the ethnicity, background, country of origin etc. However, if you poke a bear, you're asking for it.
If I smashed up the three burnt fluorescent lamps I have at home to get less than a hundreth of a gram of krypton-85, I too would be more capable of carrying out a nuclear attack against the US than I had ever before, and also more capable of doing so than North Korea.
Anonymous, in another attempt to look relevent, attacks an entire country with really childish shit that could make the right kind of maniac go off and kill people. Now, I'm not saying that NK will fire nukes at the U.S., but anything North Korea decides to do because of 'hacking infiltrators' is on the heads of Anon and thus making them war criminals. Chances are, though, they're still just full of themselves and nothing will happen.
Who the hell is Anonymous? That name seems to be the identity of any childish hacker. I go onto /pol/ and /v/ regularly and I never hear a word about hacking NK websites.
Lovely thought. Lets poke the irrational boy pig with new nuke toys with a stick of showing his countries technological inferiority. Surely that will end well, amirite?
I think this is appropriate here:
Not concerned. Do you guys remember their test launch? Yea didn't work. They may have nuclear warheads, but they're not going anywhere anytime soon
I'm not sure how old you are, so I can't be sure if you even know this happened, but there was this thing back in 1990/1991 called the "Persian Gulf War." During that conflict, the US and friends rolled up, bombed the ever-loving shit out of the Iraqi military and then proceeded to roll over the remnants and mop the desert with them. They had very similar technology and equipment, both the quality and quantity, that the North Korean military has. The MiG 21 fighter, the most common Soviet-built fighter ever, didn't manage a single kill against the F-15 (the then most advanced US fighter). They now have drones and the F-22 stealth fighter-bomber and all those F-15. They have one of the best main battle tanks in the world. In the '90s, the Iraqis even had chemical/biological weapons. They did not use them once. Why? Because the US would have deployed its host of tactical nuclear weapons and turned the border between Iraqi and Saudi Arabia into a glass parking lot.
We're talking about a country under heavy economic sanction with a technology base circa 1954 Soviet Russia. Almost all of the things you stated about the N. Koreans were true of the Iraqis in the early 1990s and look how then went for them. The Persian Gulf War lasted a few months, most of which were spent bombing the Iraqi army into submission, shooting down all its planes, sabotaging its biological/chemical warfare laboratories, and destroying its mobile intermediate range missile platforms. If there is one thing the US knows how to to, it's fight a war against a technologically inferior, numerically superior enemy.
Anonymous, being worthless moralfags since 2007.
Im 40 , and yes i remember the Persian Gulf incident, in retaliation to kuwait being invaded and backing a UN resolution a multi national force largely being american of course rolled in and bombed the crap out of alot of dessert and some tanks.
I also recall all the inquiries and investigations that went on to conclude that the WMD's that were used to get us involved in the second war were a fabrication , they never existed.
But using the dessert section of either gulf war as an example of how we would deal with a NK conflict? just a tad not helpful dont you think?
North korea is 60% woodlands and 20% mountains. so the previous korean war or vietnam might be better parallels.
Saddam was a despotic tyrant that didnt trust his own military had no great tactical sense and didnt bother pulling his troops back to urban settings, Kim is a living god beloved by his people who does trust his military. Iraq had according to the highest American reports ive seen 600 thousand troops, most reports came in several hundred thousand lower, and these were largely conscripts with little to no training or equipment.
Iraq had no chance to use its air , NK with 1700 jets might be a different kettle of fish. lets assume you get to shoot them all down with no casualties its sitll going to cost 1.700.000.000 in ordnance, But as a US congressional report put it
NK also has the largest submarine fleet in the world. Now im sure out in the open ocean vs the modern american NAvy/air power they wouldnt pose much of a threat but making short range sallies out of heavily armoured /hidden sub pens even the biggest carrier is going to be at some risk.
Iraq had no WMD's it was a massive lie used to start the second war. NK definitely does possess nukes and chemical. sure it might not have miniaturization levels for ICBMS but as the main thrust of any invasion is going to be straight through the DMZ they dont need to "launch" anything. who knows what they procured in the soviet brake up and the issue of small pox has to be considered as a very likely problem.
When we hit Iraq it was the first invasion, now with heavy entanglement in Iraq and Afghan going in to NK would be doing so with a vastly reduced and highly strained military.
oh The nuclear option, it isnt an option. Nukes are WMD's designed for a world ending fight, if were going in to NK its going to be to affect a regime change and enforce democracy on another country that doesn't want it. so nuking the populace is a bit of a self defeating thing to do . now if you get a hold of a globe you will see another problem , there's no way to nuke NK without hitting Russia, China, south Korea and japan there's a thing called fall out. and at least 2 of those have quite large nuclear arsenals that unlike NK are capable of hitting around the world.
In short NK is safe. we dont have the troops the will or the cash to go in there. and they dont have the oil to make it worth it.
I was not interested in why the US went into Iraqi, I already know that. I also wasn't interested in a motivation. I'm not advocating a preemptive strike against N. Korea. However, given the stance that the US has in regards to its South Korean and Japanese allies, I feel that it's reasonable to assume that should N. Korea try anything like an invasion or a missile strike, then that would be a valid excuse to finally finish what was started in the Korean War.
As for how the war would go, I am hesitant to use the Korean War as an analogy given the vast increase in technology on the part of the US since then. Considering that the US Air Force has access to multiple photographic intelligence satellites, combat-capable drones, and a host of precision munitions, they could quite easily eliminate most of the major threats in a matter of weeks. The largest issue becomes the threat to Seoul (and the rest of S. Korea) and Japan that the N. Korean army poses in the form of artillery and missile strikes.
As for nuclear weapons, I would agree, that option is unthinkable, to an extent. However, there exist tactical nuclear weapons and while their ethicality is subject to debate, it is possible to use them to devastate targets, like a column of tanks, without irradiating Russian, China, and Japan. I would also agree that costs of fighting N. Korea are extremely prohibitive. It would be a battle of attrition and a very large portion of the North and South Korean populations would die or be displaced.
In the end, I would hate to see such a war because it would likely mean the destruction of Seoul and I have a lot of friends and even some family there. I'd be happy to live and let live, but Kim and friends see the need to act like children and make threats that they should not be eager to back up with force.
