|Oracle® Audit Vault Server Installation Guide
Release 10.2.3.1 for Linux x86
Part Number E13840-05
|View PDF
Oracle Audit Vault is a powerful enterprisewide audit solution that efficiently consolidates, detects, monitors, alerts, and reports on audit data for security auditing and compliance. Oracle Audit Vault provides the ability to consolidate audit data and critical events into a centralized and secure audit warehouse.
This chapter provides an overview of the Oracle Audit Vault Server (Audit Vault Server) installation process. This chapter includes the following sections:
It is recommended that you install Audit Vault Server on its own host computer or a host that contains other repository databases such as Enterprise Manager Grid Control or the Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) repository database. This enables Oracle Audit Vault to have high availability to these other databases. For scalability, the Audit Vault Server can implement Real Applications Cluster (RAC) and Data Guard for disaster recovery.
Oracle Audit Vault software installation consists of two parts:
Audit Vault Server installation that can be either:
Single Instance installation
Clustered using an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) installation
Oracle Audit Vault collection agent installation (see Oracle Audit Vault Collection Agent Installation Guide)
You can choose different installation methods to install Audit Vault Server, as follows:
When you use the interactive method to install Oracle Audit Vault to perform a Basic, Advanced, or Upgrade installation, Oracle Universal Installer displays a series of screens that enable you to specify all of the required information to install the Oracle Audit Vault software.
Oracle Audit Vault provides a response file template for Audit Vault Server (
av.rsp) and one for an upgrade installation (
upgrade_av.rsp). These response template files can be found in the
/response directory on the Audit Vault Server installation media.
When you start Oracle Universal Installer and specify a response file, you can automate all of the Audit Vault Server installation. These automated installation methods are useful if you need to perform multiple installations on similarly configured systems or if the system where you want to install the software does not have X Window system software installed.
For Audit Vault Server, Oracle Universal Installer can run in silent (noninteractive) mode. For silent mode, specify both the
-silent and
-responseFile options followed by the path of the response file on the command line when you invoke Oracle Universal Installer. For example:
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile path_of_response_file
Oracle Universal Installer runs in silent mode if you use a response file that specifies all required information. None of the Oracle Universal Installer screens are displayed, and all interaction (standard output and error messages) and installation logs appear on the command line.
Prepare the response file by entering values for all parameters that are missing in the first part of the response file, then save the file. Do not edit any values in the second part of either response file.
See Section 3.5 for information about performing an Audit Vault Server silent installation and Section 4.4 for information about performing a silent upgrade installation.
Note:The basic installation is not supported in silent mode. Silent installation is only supported for the advanced installation.
The Audit Vault Server installation consists of three options:
Upgrade Existing Audit Vault Server Home – detects upgradable Audit Vault Server homes on the system and enables the upgrade option to the current release. Perform an upgrade on the selected upgradable Audit Vault Server home detected on the system.
Basic installation – simplifies the installation process and prompts for a minimal set of inputs from the user to perform a full installation. An Oracle RAC installation is not supported through this option; only a single instance installation is supported.
Advanced installation – offers the user more control and options for the installation process, including storage options and backup options. This option supports the installation of Audit Vault Server on a cluster and as a single instance.
Communication at the management level between the Audit Vault Server and the Oracle Audit Vault collection agent can be secured after the installation is complete. This is done as part of the postinstallation configuration, in which SSL is configured for the mutual authentication between the Oracle Audit Vault management service on the server side and each collection agent over HTTPS.
After you check the requirements described in Section 1.5, the general steps to install Audit Vault Server include these tasks:
Run Oracle Universal Installer to perform Audit Vault Server installation.
Run postinstallation and configuration tasks using AVCA.
This section contains information that you should consider before deciding how to install this product. It includes contains the following topics:
The platform-specific hardware and software requirements included in this installation guide were current at the time this guide was published. However, because new platforms and operating system versions might be certified after this guide is published, review the certification matrix on the OracleMetaLink Web site for the most up-to-date list of certified hardware platforms and operating system versions. The OracleMetaLink Web site is available at
If you do not have a current Oracle Support Services contract, then you can access the same information at
This product supports multiple Oracle homes. This means you can install this release of the software more than once on the same system, in different Oracle home directories. See Section 2.5.3 for more information.

Katie McQuaid's Scene in Manchester: Queen City to host movie?BY KATIE McQUAID
January 05. 2014 8:03PM
Happy New Year! Will 2014 be the year that a major motion picture is filmed in Manchester? If Jack Heath has his way, then filmmakers will use a local hospital for at least part of the movie based on his best-selling book "Salem VI: Rebecca's Rising."As host of WGIR's NH Today, Heath is a natural storyteller and the tale of his new writing career and movie deal is really exciting.
He said the story for his first book came to him while on vacation with his family in 2010. His said his sister, Marjory Wentworth, is the real writer in the family and as a poet laureate was able to get his working manuscript in front of several publishers. He accepted an offer from Pressque Publishing in South Carolina and is already finishing the third book in his series of paranormal thrillers set in Salem, Mass.
Heath said the mom of a filmmaker with Wonderland Pictures, Inc. happened to read his book and encouraged her son to get a copy. Heath was then invited to meet with some members of the production company while they were working with the team filming the recently released "American Hustle" in Salem, Mass. Wonderland purchased the rights to his first two books; filming on the first is set to start this year.
Matt Newton, director of the New Hampshire Film and Television Office, said he received a call in the fall when the film was in early development. He hopes most, if not all, of it will be filmed in New Hampshire.
Heath said producers want to film most of the movie in Portsmouth, because of its strong resemblance to Salem, Mass., but Manchester could be the setting for some hospital scenes.
"Rebecca's Rising" imagines the possibility that a real coven of Satan worshippers was behind the Salem witch trials and is still at work in Salem today. Glimpses of Heath's real life can be found throughout the fictional tale. He grew up near Salem, Mass., in Marblehead, and is a direct descendant of both Rebecca Nurse, the last person tried and hanged during the witch trials, and her accuser Ann R. Putnam. Heath was once news director at WMUR; his main character, John Andrews, has a history in television news.
Many of "Rebecca's Rising" reviewers on GoodReads.com, where it has an average of 3.99 stars out of five, compare it to Dan Brown's "DaVinci Code." Let's hope Heath sees the same success as Brown.
It is clear he will do everything in his power to keep filming in New Hampshire, and I hope he is successful. Maybe there is even a role for me as an extra. I would make an excellent witch, just ask my husband.
You can purchase Heath's books at www.GOSHOPNH.com.
Noon Year's Eve
I love how many events The Currier Museum of Art has for families. I just wish I wasn't on the verge of a heart attack every moment we're inside.
My husband and I brought our three boys to the museum's Noon Year's Eve party last Tuesday. This is becoming a very popular annual event, featuring a great magic show, a make-your-own party hat craft, a fun photo area, a couple of giveaways and balloon drop in the Winter Garden. It was encouraging to see so many staff and volunteers, including Director and CEO Susan Strickler, on hand. They ensured a smooth event and protected the art from all the children.
I bring the kids to the Currier about once a year and after saying, "be quiet, walk slowly, and don't touch that," about a million times I vow never to bring them back. I obviously have a short memory. I also remember loving the Currier when I was a child, particularly while taking classes at the Currier Art Center, so I know I just need to keep bringing them until they learn how to behave around a Picasso.
The Currier Art Center is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. New classes and workshops for children, teens and adults begin Jan. 21. See all the offerings, including some out-of-the box options such as fused glass, weaving and jewelry-making. Visit www.currier.org/art-center for more information.
"XANADU" is a simple story about a Greek muse, Clio, who descends from Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest creation of his life - a roller disco. Sounds weird, right? It is, but so much fun because the actors are performing on roller skates.
Friday is opening night for "XANADU" at The Palace Theatre. This Tony-nominated musical is based on a 1980s movie. Even if you have never seen it, you may recognize much of the music, originally performed by Olivia Newton John and Electric Light Orchestra.
Palace Theatre director of Marketing and Public Relations Chris Lockwood said the cast visited Hudson's Roller Kingdom, in full costume, to practice their skills with hundreds of children during Christmas vacation. You can see pictures of the outing on the theater's Facebook page.
Whitney Meyer, who plays the lead role as Clio, was born to play roles made famous by Newton John. Lockwood said she also played Sandy in The Palace Theatre's production of "Grease." The lead male role of Sonny is being played by Meyer's real-life husband, Nathan Meyer.
"The musical has the same plot as the movie but it is very different; it makes fun of the movie being so bad. It is totally a family-friendly show that is over the top funny," Lockwood said.
Tickets range from $15 to $45; the show runs through Jan. 25. For more information on this and other fun shows around Manchester, visit www.NH365.org.

Just one link to pass along on this Saturday afternoon.
Dave Goldberg over at NFL Fanhouse is doing "redrafts" for every draft between 1998 and 2007. In other words, knowing what we know now, where would each player get taken?
The last one Goldberg did was the 1999 draft, and he makes the argument that Donovan McNabb would be the No. 1 pick.
Looking at the other options, it's tough to argue differently. Here's Goldberg's list of the top 10:
1. McNabb
2. Champ Bailey
3. Edgerrin James
4. Torry Holt
5. Aaron Smith
6. Jevon Kearse
7. Patrick Kerney
8. Donald Driver
9. Antoine Winfield
10. Jon Jansen
Thoughts? Would any of those players have given the Eagles a better chance to win over the past decade? I would say no. But it depends, of course, on who the Birds ended up with at quarterback instead of McNabb.
Writes Goldberg:
Anywhere else, a quarterback with his resume would be revered. But QBs now seem measured by Super Bowl victories and he doesn't have one. Still, a 216-to-100 TD-interception ratio works for anyone and so do 3,249 yards rushing, five NFC East titles and five conference championship games. Knowing this, who wouldn't take him No. 1?
In 1998, the Eagles took Tra Thomas at No. 11. Goldberg puts him at No. 10 in his redraft.

Coal plant's future hangs in the balance
Coal plant's future hangs in the balance
GENTRY, Ark. —
New EPA regulations give SWEPCO two choices: shut the Flint Creek power plant down or make a series of changes to bring the plant up to code.
Thursday, SWEPCO officials met with regulators to inform them about their plans to modify the power plant and explain why the series of environmental changes to control emissions is the best option for the power plant.
"That's the point," said Peter Main, SWEPCO spokesman. "Getting in front of the commission and telling them why the co-op members believe this is the best option going forward for the northwest Arkansas."
There is no indication when regulators will rule, but if they rule against the proposed modifications, SWEPCO will likely have to find alternative power sources.

The U.S. Comex gold futures climbed 0.24% this week after falling 0.32% last week. On Wednesday morning in Asia, gold futures inched up slightly to $1,712 from Tuesday's close of $1,709.60. Year-to-date, gold futures are up 9.11%. After touching a low of $700 in November 2008, gold has returned about 21% per annum from the end of 2008 to 2011, beating both the S&P 500 index and the CRY Commodities index. This week, the S&P 500 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 Index rose 0.69% and 0.87% while the Dollar Index fell 0.43%.
China and India's Demand for Gold
China's recent economic growth numbers may boost the outlook for gold demand. The November industrial production climbed 10.1% compared to the 9.8% forecasted while the November retail sales rose 14.9%. China imported about 47.5 metric tons of gold in October, a drop of 32% from September. However, year-to-date to October, China imported 629 metric tons compared to 290 metric tons during the same period last year. India, who imported 969 tons of gold last year, is expected to come up with a gold investment plan to stop the trade deficit from rising further because of higher gold and oil imports. Current account deficit reached a record high of $21.8 billion during the January to March quarter. This has led to a weaker Rupee, higher inflation and lower growth. Gold has been traditionally viewed by the Indians as a store of value, inflation hedge and social security, which means gold demand will not come off easily.
Some Positive European News
Euro/Dollar has gained in the past two days as Greece has successfully completed its bond buy-back of more than €30 billion, which will lead to the aid from the IMF and the EU. An investor confidence index in Germany jumped unexpectedly from minus 15.7 in November to a positive 6.9 in December, which may point to a revival of Germany's growth in early 2013.
All Eyes on the FOMC on Wednesday
According to Bloomberg, the market has expected the Fed to buy $45 billion of Treasuries per month as Operation Twist will end at the end of December, in addition to buying $40 billion of mortgages per month. The expected expansion in the Fed's balance sheet and an expected rise in inflation will support gold price. What if the Fed disappoints? Physical demand has responded well in the recent gold price dips with central banks and gold-backed ETP investors picking up the slack. Also, the uncertainties from the U.S. fiscal cliff and the debt ceiling negotiations should boost the demand for gold.

The Coming $50 Billion Budget Battle
The state is currently wrestling with how to close a budget for fiscal year 2010 that overspends revenues by $2.8 billion. Some of the proposed cuts to state spending are significant and debate over them may be holding up completion of the budget, which must be passed by midnight Sept. 30 to avoid a government shutdown.
One way the state has balanced its budget in the past (and we suspect it will for 2010, too) is to defer responsibility for funding current and future government employee pension obligations. Based on publicly available actuarial reports as of September 30, 2008 from the state Office of Retirement Systems, the authors extracted estimates that show the present value of accrued pension and retiree medical benefits is currently underfunded to the tune of more than $50 billion (emphasis added).
Stay Engaged
Specifically, the "unfunded accrued liabilities" that have been earned to date by state and public school employees and retirees break out as follows:
State employee pension obligation: $2.4 billion
State employee health obligation: $13.5 billion
Public school employee pension obligation: $8.9 billion
Public school employee health obligation: $26 billion
As staggering as these numbers are they don't tell the whole benefits story. There are unearned benefits for current employees not included in these figures. Including them would drive the totals much higher.
The state faces an obvious problem here: How will it fund such a massive obligation? The answer depends on how quickly the Legislature addresses the issue. However, funding strategies alone will not close these deficits, as part of the answer must address the over-promised nature of the benefits themselves. A corollary to this would be to enroll new public school hires in a defined contribution pension plan and redefine eligibility and benefit levels for retiree health care for school and state employees.
Failing to change state policy now could mean massive tax hikes or spending cuts in the future.
The Mackinac Center will discuss the problem of Michigan's unfunded liabilities at greater length in its forthcoming study on the subject.

In Case No. 2002-0243, Petition of Senator Clifton Below & a., the court on May 30, 2002, issued the following order:
The court has concluded that it is necessary to appoint a neutral, technical advisor to assist the court in this case. A technical advisor will provide assistance to the court in understanding and utilizing relevant technology and, thus, enable the court to fulfill, on an expedited basis, its constitutional responsibility to establish a reapportionment plan for the Senate.
The court proposes to issue an order appointing Mr. Bobby Bowers, Director of the South Carolina Budget and Control Board Office of Research and Statistics, as its technical advisor in this case. Mr. Bowers has served in the capacity as a technical advisor to the United States District Court for South Carolina in redistricting litigation and has extensive experience in this area. See Colleton County Council, et al. v. Glenn F. McConnell, et al., No. 01-3581-10 (D.S.C. Mar. 20, 2002); Burton v. Sheheen, 793 F. Supp. 1329, 1339 (D.S.C. 1992), vacated sub nom., Statewide Reapportionment Advisory Committee v. Theodore, 508 U.S. 968 (1993). Mr. Bowers business address is Suite 425, Rembert C. Dennis Building, 1000 Assembly Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201. A copy of Mr. Bowers curriculum vitae is attached to this order.
In his capacity as technical advisor, Mr. Bowers may be called upon to assist the court in educating itself in the technical language of redistricting and mapping and in the technology employed by the parties and their technical experts; to act as a liaison, if necessary, between the court and the parties technical experts to achieve an acceptable computer format; and to assist the court in understanding and analyzing the proposed redistricting plans which are expected to be submitted by the parties. Mr. Bowers will advise the court in camera, as requested, concerning any technical matters. To the extent necessary for resolution of this matter, Mr. Bowers may also be called upon to assist in drawing a redistricting plan for the court, but only in accordance with the directives of the court.
Courts have inherent authority to appoint technical advisors in rare cases in which outside technical expertise would be helpful. See Reilly v. United States, 863 F.2d 149, 156 (1st Cir. 1988). "[S]uch appointments should be the exception and not the rule, and should be reserved for truly extraordinary cases where the introduction of outside skills and expertise, not possessed by the judge, will hasten the just adjudication of a dispute without dislodging the delicate balance of the juristic role." Id. See generally State v. Coon, 974 P.2d 386, 395-96 (Alaska 1999) (discussing authority of courts to appoint expert technical advisors).
Throughout this proceeding, Mr. Bowers will act as a sounding board for the courts assessment of the plans submitted by the parties and will function as a confidential advisor to the court analogous to the role performed by the courts judicial clerks. He will be appointed only as a technical advisor to the court pursuant to the inherent authority of the court, see Reilly, 863 F.2d 149; he will not be appointed as an expert. Mr. Bowers will not be called upon to testify. He will not act as a finder of fact, nor will he attempt to advise the court on any matter of law. Neither he nor staff members acting at his direction may be subjected to cross-examination, and all confidential computer and other confidential files of Mr. Bowers and his staff prepared in connection with this case, like those of the court, shall be protected from demands for production or disclosure.
ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that the court intends to appoint Mr. Bobby Bowers, Director of the South Carolina Budget and Control Board Office of Research and Statistics, as its technical advisor in this case. If any party objects to the appointment of Mr. Bowers as technical advisor, that party shall file a written objection, setting forth the specific grounds for the partys objection, on or before June 5, 2002.
Brock, C.J., and Nadeau, Dalianis, and Duggan, JJ., concurred.

Bulldogs Blast Red Storm
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The No. 18 Yale men's lacrosse team opened the 2012 season with its offense clicking and the defense in shut-down mode as the Bulldogs cruised to a 19-6 win over St. John's at Reese Stadium.
Ten different players scored goals, including four-goal, five-point outings from both Matt Gibson and Brandon Mangan, as the Elis outshot the Red Storm 45-21 and had the edge in almost every statistical category.
"Nobody on our sideline was surprised by the 19 goals scored or six allowed," said captain Michael Pratt, who scooped up three ground balls and was all over the field making plays in transition. "To put it all together in our first game feels very good."
Veteran midfielders Gregory Mahony and Matt Miller as well as newcomer attackman Conrad Oberbeck each hit the net twice while sophomore midfielder Ryan McCarthy pitched in a goal and three assists. The other Yale goals came from Colin Still, Mark Dobrosky, Deron Dempster and Colin Flaherty.
The Bulldog faceoff team of Cole Yeager (8-14) and Dylan Levings (9-14) combined to win 17 of the game's 28 battles on the X. The Eli duo helped take the pressure off freshman Eric Natale (2 saves), who was making his collegiate debut in net.
The Yale defense stifled the vaunted St. John's offense for much of the game. Junior Michael McCormack led the Blue defense with four caused turnovers and four ground balls.
"They [St. John's] have a high-powered offense. We just wanted to defend their big-little, and we did a great job of that," said McCormack, who was a big factor on faceoffs as well. "We met our goal today against a really good offense. When they put me on the wing (on faceoffs) I'm able to get in transition more and run the field more."
Matt Miller began the scoring for the 2012 season by hitting the back of the net on a 20-footer at 10:50, the first of six straight goals by six different members of the home team. Yale never looked back from there.
McCarthy, who had a great game working behind the Red Storm net, helped Yale increase the lead to 2-0 by intercepting goalie Jeff Lowman's clearing attempt and sending it over to Mangan for the first of his four tallies.
"We had to keep the ball away from their offense and did that," said Andy Shay, who began his ninth season as the Yale head coach today. "We killed their possessions when we had to and held onto the ball well. I'm proud of the team effort overall. We played a pretty solid game."
By the time Gibson found the net for the first time, the Bulldogs were up 5-0 in the second quarter. The senior attackman was the recipient of a great feed from McCormack, who won the ball off a faceoff.
Gibson, the Yale All-American, spent most of the time with the ball whirling and turning around defenders looking for an opening around the crease. His most gratifying tally of the day came on his final score, a goal that put the Blue up 17-6 late in the fourth.
"I came out from behind the net and the defender gave me a good, hard slash. It was a little pay-back, and there were some words that followed the play. He was pretty upset," said Gibson. "That goal was very satisfying."
St. John's, coming off a win over Holy Cross in its season opener a week ago, scored consecutive goals once in this game and didn't find the net for the first time until 9:27 of the second. The Red Storm, which had 15 turnovers, got three goals from Harry Kutner.
Both teams tallied a pair of extra-man goals… The Blue scored four goals in each of the first three quarters and poured on seven in the fourth frame… Sophomore Jack Meyer was in the Yale goal for the last 2:40 and did not face a shot on net… The game aired live on Yale All Access, the first of seven home contests that will be broadcast on yalebulldogs.com… This was the first official men's lacrosse game on the new Field Turf surface at Reese Stadium… The Elis have been practicing in cold but snowless conditions until Friday's storm dumped a few inches on the field. The snow was piled behind the end lines and the playing surface was excellent… Yale is home again on March 3 to face Albany in a 1 p.m. game.

Wabash Student Completes Fellowship with Secretary of State's Office
Contact: AJ Freeney-Ruiz
Indianapolis, IN - Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita today announced Abhi Shah's successful completion of the 2005 Indiana Secretary of State Fellowship Program.
"Abhi is an accomplished student with a keen intellect. Abhi's creativity, initiative, and stamina for hard work have made him a valuable addition to our team as we continue our work to make the Secretary of State's office the finest in the nation," Rokita said.
Shah attends Wabash College, where he is pursuing a political science degree and serves as president of the pre-law society. He is also an editor of the prestigious undergraduate legal journal Legalis and is active in student government, moot court, College Democrats, Habitat for Humanity, and the Sigma Chi Fraternity.
"It has been an honor and a privilege to work for Secretary Rokita. My time as a Secretary of State Fellow has given me an unparalleled view of how state government works and has served as the perfect corollary to my time in Washington, D.C.," Shah said.
Shah cites his work creating an informational brochure about the new Voter ID law requiring photo identification at the polls as being his favorite and most rewarding project with Rokita's office. Shah spent three weeks in each of the Secretary of State's divisions during the tenure of his fellowship with three other Indiana undergraduate students.
Last summer Shah worked as a legislative intern in the Washington, D.C. office of U.S. Senator Evan Bayh while also taking part in a summer-long institute on political leadership hosted by Georgetown University.
"Working on both sides of the political fence has allowed me to take an academic approach to politics, with an emphasis on public policy. I am thankful to Secretary Rokita for his bipartisan approach to getting things done," Shah said.
Shah has also studied politics and public policy abroad. Last year he spent time on the Mexican and Canadian borders to study the socioeconomic impact of NAFTA, immigration, and border security on those communities most directly affected by government policies. He then studied comparative politics at the University of Westminster in London, England. Earlier this year Shah found himself in the European Union capital cities of Brussels, Belgium and Strasbourg, France where he met with EU leaders to better understand the politics and economics of European integration.
Shah was graduated from Lawrence North High School in 2002, where he was class president and involved in the National Honor Society, speech team, and tennis team. The first in his family to be born in America, Abhi is the son of Kashyap and Yamini Shah.

Growing grain anticipation
Following the historic drought recorded this past summer, anticipation is mounting as to how the grain markets will perform in 2013. "[The drought] is one of those factors that from a pure fundamental perspective should lead to good underlying support in the markets. That's sort of where the market for corn in particular is being caught off guard by this push of weakness we've seen recently," says Randy Mittelstaedt, vice president , research for R.J. O'Brien & Associates.
Mittelstaedt says two things are happening in the grains complex. "We have a focus on very negative demand for U.S. corn, which has been the overriding fundamental for the last couple of months," he says. "And, we have a situation in soybeans that is just the opposite, where we have phenomenal demand at current price levels that is being tempered by what is looking like a (possible) massive South American crop. We're kind of at differing ends of focus between corn and beans."
In both corn and soybeans, assuming normal weather, he expects to see significant increases in production, although he doubts demand will increase with that production. "Anytime you're coming off a historic situation like we are this year with the drought, the longer-term outlook has to be to the downside in the coming year," he says.
At the moment, Mittelstaedt says new-crop corn could see $5.00 per bushel and maybe lower, and soybeans should return to the $12 handle in the November contract, with the caveat of with normal weather.
In the short-term, though, Mittelstaedt says to watch the Jan. 11 WASDE (World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates) report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "There is no more important set of numbers for the grain market than those Jan. 11 numbers. If we get a bullish surprise on corn stocks, then all this negative talk goes away for the time being," he says.

"I am not announcing a retirement," Lautenberg said in a speech in his hometown of Paterson. "I am announcing today I will be continuing on my mission to do the right thing wherever I can."
Lautenberg, at 89 the oldest member of the Senate, made no mention of any Democrat who he might like to succeed him.
His revelation Thursday he would not seek re-election in 2014 cleared the way for Newark Mayor Cory Booker to accelerate his campaign for the U.S. Senate seat. Booker's announcement in December that he intended to run for the seat had angered Lautenberg, who had wanted the Democratic mayor to hold off until he decided his plans.
Lautenberg also did not say why he decided to retire when his term ends in 2015. He joked at least twice about possibly staying on. "Too late to change my mind?" he asked with a smile.
Asked after his speech who he would like to see take his seat in the Senate, he joked: "Well I'd like to have my wife do it, but she's busy."
Asked why he decided to call it quits in 2015, he said: "Nothing. I think the time with family. My children, my daughters, my grandchildren live all over the country and I want to spend more time with them."
On the issues he will focus on, the liberal Democrat cited gun control first. "We are tired of assaults on our children," he said.
Early public opinion polls had showed Booker as a strong favorite over the incumbent to keep the seat in Democratic hands, but Booker's nascent campaign had been largely on hold until Lautenberg made a decision. Other Democrats, including Rep. Frank Pallone, are also mulling runs.
No Republican has publicly expressed interest in the seat, but a spokesman for the national party viewed Gov. Chris Christie's success in New Jersey as "a hopeful sign" for the GOP's chances even though New Jersey voters haven't sent a Republican to the Senate in 40 years.
Booker created a federal fundraising account allowing him to raise money for the campaign. In doing so, the two-term mayor of New Jersey's largest city dashed hopes that he would challenge Christie in a race for governor that would have pitted two rising national stars against one another.
Though Booker's relationship with Lautenberg has been nettlesome, he issued a statement praising the senator.
"Sen. Frank Lautenberg has been a champion for the people of New Jersey for decades and his legacy of service will improve the lives of all Americans for years to come," Booker said.
President Obama also lauded the reliably liberal senator.
"Throughout his time in the Senate, Frank has fought tirelessly for workers, veterans, members of our military and their families, and immigrants, and he continues to make extraordinary contributions to our nation's safety, and the health and welfare of our citizens," Obama said.
Lautenberg first won election to the Senate in 1982, and became known as a staunch advocate of gun control and public infrastructure and a champion of the Amtrak railroad system. He also crusaded against smoking and youth drinking and supported stiffer environmental laws.
Though he has been easily elected five times and is the Senate's last veteran of World War II, Lautenberg was facing growing pressure to step down. He has had beaten back health problems in recent years. Some within the party noted that if Lautenberg were to die in office, Republican Gov. Chris Christie would get to name a temporary successor.
Christie's popularity, measured in record-high approval ratings after Superstorm Sandy battered the state last year, has given Republicans a sense of optimism for other statewide races in New Jersey, where registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by 700,000.
"Gov. Christie has shown that being successful in New Jersey is not a matter of partisanship but rather of leadership, a hopeful sign for our chances in 2014," said Brad Dayspring, communications director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Lautenberg and Christie clashed frequently, most publicly when the governor scrapped plans for a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River between New Jersey and New York after the senator secured $3 billion in federal grants for the project. More recently, however, the two worked together with other members of the state's Washington delegation to help secure $60.2 billion in aid for the region after Sandy.
"Frank Lautenberg and I have had our differences through the years, but I've always respected him for his tenacity, devotion to the people of New Jersey and his love for and commitment to public service," Christie said in a statement.
Lautenberg was diagnosed with cancer - and successfully treated for it - in 2010. A case of the flu this winter caused him to miss the Senate's Jan. 1 vote on avoiding the so-called fiscal cliff.
Lautenberg got into politics after building a fortune as a founder of Automatic Data Processing, a payroll processor. In that race, he defeated patrician Republican Rep. Millicent Fenwick while spending $3 million of his own money.
This isn't the first time Lautenberg has retired. He decided not to seek re-election in 2000, a move that opened the seat for Jon Corzine, who later served a term as governor of New Jersey. But Lautenberg was drafted back into politics two years later when scandal-plagued Sen. Robert Torricelli, a Democrat and Lautenberg's longtime rival, abruptly left the race in 2002.
In 2008, Rep. Rob Andrews challenged Lautenberg in a Democratic primary, but Andrews fell well short of unseating Lautenberg as most of the state's Democratic Party establishment continued to back him.
Delli Santi reported from Trenton, N.J. Associated Press writers Andrew Taylor in Washington and Geoff Mulvihill in Mount Laurel contributed to this report.

**1/2 (out of 4)
First, some background: Think of the collection of rappers, producers and designers known as Treated Crew as Chicago's answer to the Wu-Tang Clan, with Million $ Mano (the DJ for Kanye West and Jay-Z's "Watch The Throne" tour) serving the RZA role.
OK, let's move on.
A narrative I've heard among other rap nerds has been that the collected talent of Treated Crew makes them a formidable roster, but they're too comfortable reveling in their already-existing cred to try anything new. The tepid releases from their "Treated Tuesday" series earlier this year didn't do anything to suggest otherwise. At some point this year, something changed. Maybe it was the increased national attention that the drill scene brought Chicago in 2012. Maybe it was the rise of the A$AP Mob, a NYC crew currently eating off of the South by Northeast style Chicago has been known for since the late '80s. No matter what the reason, I'm just happy it happened. "Treated: The Album" is a sobering backhanded smack to any and all that have doubted the abilities of the members of this crew the past 3-5 years, myself included.
Appearances by crew members/associates YP, GLC, Freddie Gibbs and both Sir Michael Rocks and Chuck Inglish of the Cool Kids harkens back to compilations like "Ruff Ryders Vol 1 and 2," where various rappers affiliated with one set would combine like Voltron to rap their collective asses off. However, to say Mic Terror steals the show on this record would be the understatement of the year. The guy can just flat-out rap, sprinkling his blend of rhymes about sex and, well, sex all over the project. (A split project between he and fellow member Gzus Piece is a wonderful concept that I hope gets realized one day.) Hollywood Holt plays the crew enforcer role to a tee, talking reckless and moon-walking over songs like "Whip." Production-wise, Million $ Mano steps out front and establishes himself as a producer to keep an eye on going forward. His choice of sample flips are fun, from a fresh take on Kool and the Gang's "Summer Madness" on "40oz and Stuntin'" (a song that is the closest-ever resemblance to what summer in Chicago "sounds like") to none other than Sisqo's "Thong Song" on "Bong." Out loud I actually said, "Oh, no he didn't," the first time I heard it.
The album is available to stream here, but if you'd like to join the cult (their words, not mine), head over to JGRNT and cop a limited-edition "Treated" crown (the hats are dope, btw) and you'll get a physical copy of the album for free.

Jaime Pressly to star in A Haunted House 2
- Bang Showbiz
- 27 August 2013
Jaime Pressly has joined the cast of 'A Haunted House 2' in an unknown role alongside actor-and-producer Marlon Wayans
Jaime Pressly will star in 'A Haunted House 2'.
The 'My Name is Earl' actress has joined the horror-comedy sequel in an unknown role alongside actor-and-producer Marlon Wayans and newcomer Steele Stebbins.
The actress will also star opposite 'Magic Mike' actor Gabriel Iglesias and 'Awkward' actress Ashley Rickards in the Michael Tiddes-directed film, which is due for release in US cinemas on March 28 next year, while a UK release date is still to be confirmed.
The new film centres on Wayans' protagonist from the first film, Malcolm, who attempts to start a life new life with his new girlfriend and her two children after his ex-girlfriend from the previous film was possessed by a demon.
Shortly after moving into a new home, however, Malcolm comes face to face with the paranormal once again.
'A Haunted House' was released earlier this year and grossed $40 million in the US on a modest budget of just $2.5 million.
The film was written and produced by Wayans and co-starred Essence Atkins and Cedric the Entertainer.
Wayans opted to create the new spoof franchise - which pokes fun at the 'Paranormal Activity' movies - after previously starring in the first two 'Scary Movie' flicks.

With aging, the brain can develop diseases which affect memory and behavior. The most common of these conditions is Alzheimer's disease - a form of dementia that affects over 5 million people in the United States today.
Dementia is a condition of the brain leading to problems with:
People with dementia, even in the early stages, may have trouble with driving. Dementia has many causes (see below), and only one of those is Alzheimer's.
Even healthy people develop problems with memory as they get older. These can be noticed rarely beginning in the 30s but become more frequent after the age of 60. The important difference is that in dementia the memory problem interferes with day-to-day activities at work and at home. With healthy aging, memory problems usually do not cause a problem with daily life. A patient with dementia may forget he wears glasses while a healthy older person may forget where he put his glasses.
Many people with Alzheimer's disease are not aware they have significant memory loss. Often they will deny the seriousness of their problem with memory, and family members will notice these issues to a greater extent than the patient.
It is important that people with symptoms of dementia be evaluated to determine the cause of the illness. This can be done by a doctor who specializes in neurology, psychiatry, geriatrics, or internal or family medicine.
There are other causes of memory loss and brain-function problems that are not related to Alzheimer's disease. Many causes may be completely reversible if recognized early. The most common causes of reversible dementias are:
Medications - It is common for older people to have memory problems because they are taking medications that can affect memory. Ask your doctor about these medications and about potential medication interactions leading to thinking problems.
Organ System Disorders - Disorders of any organ system (such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidney or endocrine glands) can also cause dementia and may be reversible if properly recognized.
Poisoning - Dementia also can be caused by poisoning from lead, carbon monoxide (from space heaters in the home) or poorly ventilated furnaces.
Alcohol Abuse - Alcohol abuse is also a common cause of dementia.
Alzheimer's disease usually affects people over the age of 70. It begins with slow loss of memory for recent events, bit by bit. People with this disease usually can remember events in the distant past. They also may have a hard time finding words, remembering names and finding their way around familiar areas. Their personality can change too.
In the early stages, Alzheimer's disease can be difficult to diagnose and the only signs that one can sees are typically changes in memory. A little later in the course, a person usually has problems with:
If a person or a loved one develops Alzheimer's, they should not lose hope. There are several treatments for Alzheimer's disease and they seem to work better the earlier they are started. It is important for anyone experiencing memory loss to be evaluated so the proper diagnosis and treatment can be made before the disease progresses too far.

semester are posted outside of room 600 or available here.
Do you want to develop your legal skills, get practical
legal experience, see what it is like to work in a corporation,
firm or government agency and -- at the same time -- make
yourself more marketable to prospective employers? If so,
then consider doing a for-credit externship and signing
up for Chicago-Kent's Legal Externship Program (LEP).
LEP is 4-credit hours, non-graded, and open predominantly
to students in their last three semesters of law school.
Externs interested in civil law may select to work in
corporations, firms or government agencies, specializing
in such diverse legal areas as immigration, tax, commodities,
securities, health care, medical malpractice, or general
corporate law. Externs in criminal law may choose to work
with the States Attorney's Office, Public Defender's Office,
or the U.S. Attorney's Office. Some externships offer the
opportunity to obtain a 711 license and appear in court.
More information about Legal Externships and an accompanying
application form are available in the Law Offices reception
area, Room 600 and in the Career Services Office.

Illinois Commerce Commission
The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) is the state regulatory body responsible for overseeing investor-owned telecommunications, electric, natural gas, and water/sewer utilities conducting business in Illinois.
The ICC has openings for spring semester legal externs in its Office of General Counsel. The Office of General Counsel represents the technical staff of the ICC in administrative hearings at the Commission, and represents the ICC in litigation or appeals in courts of the State of Illinois. Counsel for staff is primarily engaged in multi-party litigation involving matters that are very technical in nature and impact the rates and quality of service the public receives from utilities.
Utilities appearing before the commission are represented by the largest law firms in the city.

WESTON, Fla. (Feb. 27, 2012) – With the team's leading scorer from the fall season forced to withdraw midway through the second round, the ETSU women's golf team still managed to battle through that challenge and finished tied for ninth on the team leaderboard following first and second round play Monday in the Sir Pizza Cards Challenge at the Weston Hills Country Club.
Playing in their first event of the spring season, the Buccaneers were forced to go without sophomore Sian Evans (Gillingham, England). After struggling with an illness throughout the past week, Evans attempted to play on Monday but was unable to complete the second round.
"It was a rough day for the Bucs," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton. "Sian withdrew in pain and when that happened we fell behind the rest of the field. Even with today's obstacles, we have the opportunity tomorrow to fight back, put together some solid performances, and fire a round that we can build on throughout the semester."
In Evans' absence, ETSU's Chloe Garner (Somerset West, South Africa) led the way with a score of 148 (76-72) to finish tied for eighth individually. She is currently 10 strokes back of leader Augusta James of N.C. State, who fired a 138 (69-69) on the day.
As a team, ETSU finished at 310-305=615 and tied for ninth. N.C. State is also leading the team competition after carding a team score of 289-287=576.
Other ETSU results included a tie for 21st by senior Mayte Vizcarrondo (Cadiz, Spain), while freshman Gabriella Wahl (Heidenheim, Germany) tied for 38th.
Third and final round play from the Sir Pizza Cards Challenge will be played on Tuesday. For more on ETSU women's golf throughout the 2012 spring season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's golf link.

A recent 9th Circuit decision offers protection to pharmaceutical companies using their judgment in clinical trials—protection that could extend to other industries.
In In re: Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Securities Litigation, Rigel developed an arthritis drug and did a clinical trial on 189 patients in the U.S. and Mexico. Plaintiff Inter-Local Pension Fund GCC/ IBT bought stock in Rigel after reading a press release that revealed the "statistically significant" results of the trial.
However, the stock price plummeted shortly thereafter, when Rigel revealed more comprehensive, academic information at a presentation and in a scholarly article in a medical journal, which included further details about the drug's adverse effects. The pension fund brought a securities fraud action against Rigel, claiming that the company made false statements about its study results and the efficacy of the arthritis drug, and that Rigel did not correctly analyze its data.
A district court dismissed the complaint because the pension fund failed to sufficiently plead that Rigel had made a false or misleading statement, and therefore the drug maker had not violated securities laws. The 9th Circuit upheld this decision on Sept. 6, writing that the plaintiff's main argument was a disagreement with the methodology of Rigel's study, which the court found insufficient.
"The allegations … concern two different judgments about the appropriate statistical methodology to be used by Defendants," the court wrote. "The allegations are not about false statements."
Optimal Opinion
The 9th Circuit found that securities laws don't require companies to report information from "optimal" studies, a welcome ruling considering getting scientists to agree on exactly which method is optimal would be nearly impossible. This decision leaves some breathing room for differing opinions.
"It certainly gives [companies] protection—protection I think they need," says Alyson Weiss, a partner at Loeb & Loeb. "People want to be able to do their jobs without the fear of getting sued for fraud simply because some other scientist or professional, in their professional judgment, disagrees with the method used."
However, the court did insert a word of caution into its opinion. Fraud claims might have some teeth, it wrote, if a company committed to one statistical methodology and then changed to another after seeing the data from the clinical trial, because "someone can manipulate the unblinded data to obtain a favorable result."
"You should feel comfortable in devising a methodology," says Morrison & Foerster Partner Sean Prosser. "Courts won't second-guess it so long as you've devised that methodology in good faith. But once you create the methodology and get your data, you should not be changing the method of interpreting the data without very substantial disclosures about the changes."
The ruling is less about drugs and more about professional judgment, so it could prove to be helpful for similar litigation in other industries. The 9th Circuit's decision in Rigel is already in line with some other court decisions about business judgment, including those in Delaware dealing with decisions made during a merger (see "Delaware Decisions"). But at the very least, Rigel should set the standard for clinical trials in the pharmaceutical industry.
"It's helpful that it's the 9th Circuit saying this," Prosser says. "It probably is a more impactful, useful decision because it's in a jurisdiction where you have a lot of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies."
Safety Statements
The court also addressed the amount of safety information drug companies have to disclose, finding that just because Rigel didn't reveal all the available safety statistics in its first press release did not make it guilty of falsity.
"You don't have a duty to disclose all material information; you have a duty to disclose all material information that's necessary to make the statements that you have made not misleading," says Schiff Hardin Partner Paul Dengel.
To the pension fund's credit, that's exactly what it claimed: "Plaintiff argues that Defendants should have disclosed more information concerning side effects on the day of the initial press release because the omission of some information related to side effects made the initial statements misleading," the decision reads.
However, Rigel explicitly stated in its press release that it was revealing the "key facts" and didn't claim that it was disclosing all of the available information. What's more, the side effects Rigel did disclose were the most adverse; it saved the more minor side effects for its article and presentation. "If Defendants were intent on misleading investors about the safety of [the drug], it does not make sense that the safety information they would choose to disclose in their initial, allegedly fraudulent reports, would be the most severe adverse events," the 9th Circuit wrote.
Although this decision offers protection to companies exercising their judgment, in-house counsel should still make sure their clients make an effort to be transparent about the results they choose to reveal.
"As long as you're clear about what you're disclosing and what you're not disclosing, there's no fraud claim and there's no requirement under the securities laws to present every single data point," Weiss says.

Police today identified the victims of an apparent murder-suicide on Lamar Avenue as Donna Zollo Pisarczyk, 47, and Israel Gonzalez, 42.
Mr. Gonzalez was a Worcester State University police officer.
The bodies of the victims — a boyfriend and girlfriend, according to police — were discovered by police officers on a well-being check shortly before midnight Friday. Police said the couple died from apparent gunshot wounds.
Police, while terming the deaths an apparent murder-suicide, did not identify which of the two fired the gun.
"It is with deep regret that I share the tragic news of the untimely death of Worcester State University employee Israel "Izzy" Gonzalez," WSU president Barry M. Maloney said. "An 11-year veteran of our University Police force, Izzy passed this weekend. We extend our condolences to his family. Details about funeral arrangements will be shared when they become available."
Carl A. Herrin, assistant to the president for International, Community & Governmental Affairs, said Mr. Gonzalez had a clean record in his 11 years on the department. He called Mr. Gonzalez a "model employee."
Mr. Gonzalez, who worked a day shift, always had a smile and a good comment to staff at the university, Mr. Herrin said.
"This is entirely outside any expectation and completely unseen," Mr. Herrin said. "We're all pretty confused and stunned."
Mr. Herrin said Mr. Gonzalez's department handgun was secured at the university after his last shift. Officers need special permission to have their handguns off campus.
"He had secured it when he left," Mr. Herrin said.
Mr. Herrin said that based on his work, Mr. Gonzalez would have interacted with staff and faculty on a regular basis.
Grief counseling is available for employees and students at Worcester State University. University Counseling Center staff will be available to meet with faculty and staff on a walk-in basis from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday in the Presidents Dining Room, in the Student Center.
Counseling Center staff will also be available to support students by individual appointment as needed.
Police were called to the house at 16 Lamar Ave. about 11:30 p.m. Friday. A woman had called police worried because she hadn't heard from her friend. Police headed to the home to check.
Officers found a side door unlocked and, once inside, they found the dead man and woman.
Family of Ms. Zollo Pisarczyk were at the home this afternoon, but declined to speak to a reporter. The daughter of Ms. Zollo Pisarczyk did write on her Twitter account about the loss of her mother.
Jennifer Zollo's grandmother, Marie Zollo, who lived in the home shared by the family, died on June 8. The obituary for Marie Zollo lists Donna M. Zollo as her daughter and Jennifer Zollo as her granddaughter.
"Who would've thought that in less than a week, the 2 most important people in my life would both be taken from me?" Jennifer Zollo wrote on Twitter. "I love you mommy & nonni."
